Dugan named Veterinarian of the Year

GONE FISHIN’

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer can lay claim to the 2014 Veterinarian of the Year. On Saturday night, Dr. John Dugan Sr. received the prestigious award from the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association at the ABVMA’s membership recognition banquet in Calgary. Veterinarian of the Year is one of the highest awards the association can bestow on a member, and is presented to those who make outstanding contributions to veterinary medicine or veterinary science. Dugan, who has been practising for 61 years, said he decided to become a veterinarian at age 15 while working on a dairy farm in northern Vermont, where he saw the local veterinarian perform what appeared to be “miracles.” Dugan saw the veterinarian save a cow suffering from milk fever; successfully treat a horse with a badly swollen neck; diagnose blackleg in a deceased heifer to protect the rest of the herd; and save the life of a mixed-breed collie by amputating its leg. “By miracle number four, I was hooked and I decided then and there somehow, someway, I’d be a veterinarian. And I did,” said Dugan, who is the veterinary surgeon at Red Deer Veteri-

Rotary Club, Rotaract making a difference in the Philippines BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Rotary Club of Red Deer East and Rotaract Red Deer are making a difference in the lives of people in the Philippines. On Feb. 17 members returned from a 20-day trip to the Southeast Asian country where they visited a school to distribute 357 sustainable feminine hygiene kits in Tanauan City, and a fresh water project at the indigenous Aeta village in Subic Bay. “It still floors me that in 2015 there are needs like this that Rotary can still address. I’m happy that through the power of Rotary, and Rotary International, we can make a difference in the lives of these people and they can thrive,” said Ingrid Luymes, membership chair of the Rotaract Red Deer. The Red Deer clubs partnered with Rotary Club Las Piñas-Camino Real in the Philippines on the fresh water project. Assistance was also available locally with 250 of the feminine hygiene kits sewn by the Days for Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter. Days for Girls International is a volunteer-driven, grassroots non-profit that gives women and girls access to sustainable hygiene products so they don’t have to stay home from work or school when they have their menstrual periods. Each kit includes a cloth drawstring bag that contains two cotton shields with waterproof liners to hold flannel pads, eight flannel tri-fold pads, two one-gallon Ziploc freezer bags to transport soiled items and for soaking and washing items with very little water, one pair of panties, one washcloth, one travel-sized soap, and one instruction sheet. “A well-looked-after, well-built kit

ing is also available for impoverished communities to start their own programs to sew and put together kits locally as a way to earn money. DeBoon, of Red Deer County, said many people don’t realize there are no personal hygiene options available to many women and girls in different areas of the world. “It gives them back six months of their lives over three years from time missed from school or work.” Days for Girls has reached over 75 countries on six continents.

PENHOLD - Kerry Towle will indeed run as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the next provincial election. Towle, one of 11 Wildrose MLAs to cross the floor to the PCs late last year, was chosen by Tories in the InnisfailSylvan Lake riding to be their candidate, beating out Red Deer County Mayor Jim Wood. A total of 1,049 ballots were cast during two advanced polls, and the final poll held on Saturday at the Penhold Multiplex. The number of votes each candidate received was not disclosed. Towle was beaming when her name was announced at the multiplex where about 60 PC members waited for the results. “No question, it feels wonderful,” said Towle, 41. “I knew I took a risk when I decided to leave my former party and join Premier Prentice’s team. I’ve never regretted a day of it and I still don’t.” As MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, Towle said her work continues with important issues to address in the riding like urgent care, transportation and schools. “None of my work stops. I think we get to take a moment to breathe, and tomorrow we go back to work. We’ve got to rebuild this riding and bring all Albertans under Premier Prentice. I’m looking forward to doing that,” said Towle, who defeated longtime Tory Luke Ouellette in the 2012 provincial election when she ran for the Wildrose.

Many turned away as hundreds line up for funeral of boy who froze to death TORONTO - Hundreds of mourners filled a Toronto church to capacity, spilling out onto the streets for Saturday’s funeral of three-year-old Elijah Marsh, whose tragic death earlier this month touched the hearts of Canadians across the country. Elijah died after he wandered out of his grandmother’s apartment building on Feb. 19 in the middle of a frigid night wearing just a diaper, shirt and boots. His funeral drew people from across the Greater Toronto Area. Some lined up for hours to pay their respects to the Marsh family at the St. Matthew’s United Church, many of whom did not know the family personally but who were deeply affected by Elijah’s death. “I am here to support the family, I don’t know them but I lost a son four years ago so I know what it is like to lose a child,” said Beverly Williamson of Brampton. “The memories will stay forever, the pain will never go away, but they will learn to deal with it and cope with it as the days go by.” The church was filled to capacity before the service even began, while a nearby warming centre where people could sign a guestbook was also packed with those who wanted to share their grief with the family. Devon Haughton, who also attended the service, said there was an incredible outpouring of support from the community.

VET: Learn something every day “I learn something every day. I suppose that would be the time to quit, when I cease learning,” said the veterinarian, who was given an honourary life membership by the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association a few years ago. “I never know what’s going to come through that door. There’s all kinds of challenges.” Animal care is a way of life for Dugan, who started his practice in Red Deer in 1955. With an estimated 4,000 patients on file, they include families who have been bringing their pets to Dugan for three generations. “It’s been great. It’s not a job.” Dugan, who attends an annual veterinary conference in Banff to stay up-to-date on what is new in animal care, said veterinary medicine just continues to evolve. But one thing that never changes is the amazing relationship people can have with their pets, he said. “The human-animal bond is very important. For some of the older people, that’s all they have.” Dugan was nominated for his latest award by veterinary toxicologist Dr. Robert Coppock, of Vegreville, Both Dugan and Coppock have volunteered with the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Veterinarian Medicine to interview students vying for admission. Dugan said news of his latest award came as a complete surprise. “You could have knocked me over with a feather. I was caught flat-footed this time.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

PHILIPPINES: Get to school “Some girls will do anything to get to school. They’ll use rocks, corn husks, grass, moss, anything so they can go. Some of the girls don’t even know why they get their period so Days for Girls also trains them about their bodies and menstrual cycle.” Luymes, of Lacombe, said a doctor talked to the girls in Tanauan before the kits were distributed. “There was some girls who were a little big uncomfortable, but I would say there was relief as well once we spoke and explained everything,” Luymes said. She said some of the Grade 7 and 8 students had access to other hygiene products, but disposal was a problem with no trash service and littered pads add to the stigma girls face.

Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle, along with her husband Brad Towle, left, and supporters react to her winning the nomination to become the Progressive Conservative candidate for the riding in the next provincial election. A total of $3,500 was raised by Rotary Club of Red Deer East, and from personal donations by club members and others in Central Alberta, to bring Days for Girls to Tanauan. Days for Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter has about 50 volunteers. For more information e-mail reddeer@daysforgirls.org or visit the Days For Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter Facebook page. While in the Philippines, the Rotary and Rotaract members also visited the water project they helped fund at the indigenous Aeta village in Subic Bay. The project was named The Monty J. Audenart Clean Water Project in honour of the well-known member of the Rotary Club of Red Deer East. The project involved installing a water line from a spring, and a water storage and purifying system. Harvey Maskowitz, president of Rotary Club of Red Deer East, said the water system has only been operational for about six months. Members also visited other projects while in the Philippines. Luymes said it’s amazing how much difference safe drinking water has made for the 700 people who call the Aeta village home. Without safe drinking water, residents of the farming community were often too sick to work. Clean water allows residents to earn a living. “It’s a huge, huge win for that community,”

TOWLE: Continue on Wood, who will continue on as Red Deer County’s mayor, said he knew it was going to be a close race and congratulated Towle on her win. “We had a huge turnout tonight and I think that shows that the party is rebuilding,” Wood said. Dennis Cooper, PC constituency president for the riding, said over 300 new memberships were sold during the candidate race. “It’s bringing a lot of people back into the fold and we’re bringing brand new people into our party,” Cooper said. And now the work begins on winning the next election, he said. “I think we have a great, strong candidate that works hard for the constituency, that works hard for all the people in Sylvan, Innisfail, Penhold and Red Deer County and that’s what we need.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

A group of speed skaters, led by Bryndelle MacDougall of the Red Deer Speed Skating Club, participate in the junior level of the 2015 Nutrisource Speed Skating Marathon at the Red Deer speed skating oval downtown on Saturday. Skaters from across Alberta took part in 5 km, 10 km, and 25 km races. The event was hosted by the Foothills Speed Skating Marathon Association.

Wildrose leadership hopefuls signal taxes, trust as issues for coming election BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s Wildrose leadership candidates signalled Saturday that taxes and trust will be the key wedge issues when they do battle with Premier Jim Prentice’s PCs in a spring election. “Wildrose is the only thing standing between Alberta and huge tax increases,” leadership candidate Brian Jean told more than 150 party members at a campaign readiness forum. “Just when people are hurting, just when the price of oil went down, just when there’s layoffs, just when there’s cuts, (the Progressive Conservatives’) answer is to make you pay for their mistakes.” Prentice and Finance Minister Robin Campbell have said they are looking at personal income tax hikes along with increases to user fees and tuitions, as well as the return of health premiums, to pay for billions of dollars in lost budget revenue due to plummeting oil prices. They have said oil royalties and corporate taxes won’t be hiked. Campbell has also promised five per

cent department spending cuts across the board, and all MLAs have accepted five per cent pay cuts. But candidate Drew Barnes told party faithful the Tories have lost the trust of the public to do the job because of years of wasteful spending. “After 44 years of waste and entitlement, we have the most expensive government in Canada,” said Barnes. “Our PC government spent almost $2,000 per capita per year more than the Canadian average.” “(Albertans want) a government they can trust to operate a fair and ethical functioning democracy.” Prentice, in the context of spending, has called the wages of teachers, nurses, and other civil servants “unsustainable.” Candidate Linda Osinchuk, in her speech, called that policy self-defeating. “The front-line workers need to be supported, not cut down,” said Osinchuk. All political parties have been scrambling to sign up candidates for an election call expected as early as late March. Prentice all but confirmed this week the election was coming

when he said the budget and long-term financial blueprint he will table next month will be so revolutionary, they will demand a “mandate” from Albertans to carry out. Prentice has promised to remake the foundations of how the government raises and spends money so that day-to-day department budgets are not held hostage to the swings of oil prices. The Wildrose leader will be announced March 28. The race was called after former leader Danielle Smith and 10 other caucus members crossed the floor to Prentice late last year. The candidates said the floor-crosses brought cynicism, anger and disillusionment but said the party is determined to forge that dismay into a steely resolve to stay alive.

Central Alberta Soroptomists will mark International Women’s Day on March 8 with a women’s luncheon. The speaker at the annual Live Your Dream luncheon is Sean Liv, author of Ticket to Change. Proceeds from the luncheon will support the distribution of domestic violence awareness bookmarks to women’s shelters, outreach, schools, RCMP and victim services. Tickets are $45 each. For more information about the luncheon, call Sherri Smith at 403-391-7912 or 4036099 ext. 7014. Soroptomist International is a women’s organization that has chapters in 120 countries and territories. The groups are focused on providing time and financial support to communitybased projects benefiting women and girls. For information, go to www.soroptimist.org. Central Alberta Soroptomists honour one woman a year with the Ruby Award for her contribution to the community. This year, that woman was Zainab Mohamoud for her work with breast cancer organizations, immigrant families and for raising funds for a school in Somalia. The Live Your Dream Award goes to Anna Duda, a single mom of two who graduates this April with a bachelor of education degree. The Violet Richardson award for young volunteers goes to Kelsey Olsen from Lacombe, who volunteers for A Better World, her school’s Rotary Interact club and the Lacombe recreation, culture and parks board.

Worlds collide: Danielle Smith nomination on same day Wildrose picks new leader EDMONTON — It looks like political worlds will be colliding at the end of this month in Alberta. The Progressive Conservatives have announced that backbencher Danielle Smith will learn on March 28 whether she will be their candidate for her riding in Highwood. On the same day, the Wildrose party will announce a new leader to replace Smith. Smith led eight other Wildrose members across the floor to Premier Jim Prentice and the PCs late last year. She has been criticized for decimating Alberta’s Official Opposition. Smith is running against Okotoks town councillor Carrie Fischer for the nomination.

The risk of doing nothing FAILING TO VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN ENDANGERS SOCIETY BY BRIAN W. ROTENBERG SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Every day when I see patients in my surgical clinic, some are offered a procedure to help them feel better. Whether it is a minor surgery like a tonsillectomy, or something larger scale such as tumor resection, I have a full discussion with the patient regarding the benefits and risks of doing “something.” Each time I go over the common minor risks of an intervention and the exceedingly rare, but potentially very serious, risks that can occur. I also review with them the risks of doing nothing — of what may happen if they don’t have surgery. Vaccination is no different. Vaccination involves an injection in order to provoke the body’s immune response to protect against an outside infection. Like all medical therapies, vaccination has both its benefits and its relative risks, and an informed patient or parent needs to balance the two. In the case of the measles mumps rubella vaccination (also known as MMR), its overwhelming success in eradicating deadly diseases of childhood speaks clearly to the benefits.

However, it has become fashionable in society recently to hold vaccination to a different standard than most other medical risks that individuals generally accept when they receive health care. Understanding the nature of relative risk can help to frame the issue into a clearer perspective. Not all risks are the same, either in terms of likelihood or severity, and sometimes the risk of doing nothing can be more harmful than the risk of doing something. In the case of MMR vaccination, the risks of doing something — of receiving a vaccine — include relatively common but minor issues such as fever or a sore arm, and an exceedingly rare severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. The risk of doing nothing — of not receiving a vaccine — at first glance seems very simple, that being a higher likelihood of getting the disease the vaccine is designed to prevent. In the case of measles for example, the risk of getting the disease if an unvaccinated person is exposed to someone carrying the virus is very high, close to 100 per cent. People who have measles then subsequently have the further risk of developing a host of devastating medi-

cal problems including brain damage, deafness or blindness. However, there is a more serious but hidden risk of doing nothing — not getting the MMR vaccine — that being the risk of causing serious harm to someone else who hasn’t received the vaccine. Not all people can be vaccinated even if they wanted to be (e.g., very young children and people having chemotherapy) and because of this, they are at higher risk for catching a contagious disease. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known. In order to have a low likelihood of transmitting measles to those who are unable to be immunized, it is estimated that approximately 95 per cent of the population has to be vaccinated. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the overall country-wide MMR vaccination rate just barely meets that mark (based on the most recently available 2011 data). If the vaccination rate begins to fall in different provinces, our population will lose its overall immunity. The media are reporting daily new outbreaks of measles in children in Canada and the United States, a scourge that society once thought defeated.

There appears to be a strong causeand-effect relationship between the emerging trend not to get vaccinated and the growing number of new sick children. The overwhelming majority of cases of measles are in children who did not get vaccinated. This fact should not be seen as surprising. For those children, the parents’ decision to do nothing is what allowed the virus to grow within them; in their case, the decision to do nothing clearly outweighed the risk of doing something, with potentially life-altering consequences. Even these small dips in vaccination rate have had major consequences — just imagine if the trend continues. Patients who are considering not getting an MMR vaccination for themselves or their children need to compare the relative risks of doing something versus nothing. In the case of the MMR vaccine, doing nothing is the more dangerous choice — and it is putting children, and society at large, at risk. Dr. Brian Rotenberg is an expert advisor with EvidenceNetwork.ca and an associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery at Western University, London, Ont.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Snow removal mishandled It is with interest and regret that we read so many letters and comments about snow clearing in this city. These are clearly deserved and express the true frustration over the mishandling of this issue by the city. Why does this fall on deaf ears with city administration and councillors? Many Red Deer residents have lived in numerous other communities that receive comparable snowfalls and yet do a far better job of plowing and removal with similar or less equipment and budgets to work with. Perhaps our Public Works manager needs to examine how they do this or would he prefer to just ignore this issue? His comments in the Friday, Feb. 13, Advocate that elderly people that are no longer capable of removing windrows left across their driveway by city snow clearing equipment should call on friends or neighbours or relatives to do what the city should in fact be doing in the first place shows nothing but contempt and arrogance for these seniors, who are paying, have paid, and will continue to pay taxes for city services of which snow removal is part. In the Parkvale area, the majority are seniors without the physical or financial capability of having this done privately. Given his comments and lack of concern for local residents, one can’t help but wonder if this particular manager has been in his job too long? While some people may think this question is a bit unfair, think of our seniors and the attitude of the city. This needs to be addressed! Joe Thompson Red Deer

Stop filling and killing the oceans with plastic Eight million tonnes. That’s how much plastic we’re tossing into the oceans every year! University of Georgia environmental engineer Jenna Jambeck says it’s enough to line up five grocery bags of trash on every foot of coastline in the world. A study published by Jambeck and colleagues in the journal Science on February 12 examined how 192 coastal countries disposed of plastic waste in 2010. The report, Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean, estimates that of 275 million tonnes of plastic generated, about eight million (based on a midpoint estimate of 4.8 million to 12.7 million tonnes) ends up in the seas — blown from garbage DAVID dumps into rivers and estuarSUZUKI ies, discarded on beaches or along coastlines and carried to the oceans. China tops the list of 20 countries responsible for 83 per cent of “mismanaged plastic” in the oceans, sending between 1.32 and 3.53 million tonnes into the seas. The U.S., which has better waste-management systems, is number 20 on the list, responsible for 0.04 to 0.11 tonnes. Some countries in the top 20 don’t even have formal wastemanagement systems. The fear is that, as human populations grow, the amount of plastic going into the oceans will increase dramatically if countries don’t

improve waste-management systems and practices — and reduce the amount of plastic they produce and use. Scientists don’t know where most plastic ends up or what overall effect it’s having on marine life and food supplies. They do know that massive islands of plastic and other waste — some as large as Saskatchewan — swirl in five gyres in the north and south Pacific, north and south Atlantic and Indian oceans. But that’s only a small amount of the total. Plastic is everywhere in our seas. It accumulates on the sea floor and in sediments, washes up on coastlines and is taken up by fish and other sea creatures. It affects birds, fish, mammals and other marine life. It eventually breaks down into smaller bits, which can look like fish eggs and get eaten by marine animals, but it never biodegrades. Those particles, or microplastics, just keep building up. They also absorb and concentrate toxic chemicals, poisoning the animals that consume them. Studies show that 44 per cent of all seabird species have plastic in and around their bodies, and fish, birds, turtles and whales often become fatally entangled in plastic waste. Even the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went down over the South China Sea in March 2014, was confounded when investigators looking for crash evidence kept finding plastic debris. Humans depend on healthy oceans for food, water, air, recreation and transportation. Oceans contain more than 97 per cent of the planet’s water and produce more than half the oxygen we breathe. They also absorb carbon — important to reducing global

warming. Half the world’s people live in coastal zones, and ocean-based businesses contribute more than $500 billion a year to the global economy. What we do to the oceans and the life therein, we do to ourselves. So what can we do to keep them — and us — healthy? The report’s authors say reducing “mismanaged” plastic waste, regulating the amount of plastics that enter the waste stream and improving waste-disposal methods in the top 20 offending countries are all essential. But, Jambeck notes, “It’s not just about improving the infrastructure in other countries. There are things we can do in our daily lives to reduce the amount of waste plastic we all produce.” Canada’s relatively good waste-disposal and recycling systems keep us off the 20 worst offenders list — but we can still do better. Reducing the amount of plastic we use is the first step. For consumers, that means avoiding overpackaged goods and unnecessary plastic items, such as bottled water, single-serve K-cup coffee pods and disposable products. We must also get better at reusing and recycling. According to a report by the U.S. non-profit As You Sow, plastic is the fastest-growing form of packaging, and only about 14 per cent gets recycled. Oceans and the life they support face numerous threats, from climate change to overfishing. Reducing the amount of plastic we dump into them is a challenge we can meet. Let’s get on it.

Canadian universities attracting kids, especially girls, to sciences BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Groups of students huddle around desks at a university campus as the instructor gives out a quick overview of the job at hand: build a crane, create an electromagnet and pick up metal. Work begins in earnest with some of the students building their contraptions with wheels “for better transportation” while others build them for strength. But these are not university students. They are Grade 3 and Grade 4 students — about half of them girls — who like to spend a few hours on the weekend building “stuff” and learning about science. “I’ve been building stuff a long time,” says eight-year-old Yashu Tenneti. “In our school we’re building bridges out of Popsicle sticks.” Does she want to be an engineer or scientist when she grows up? “I don’t know. I want to be many things,” she says. The class is part of an outreach program at the University of Toronto designed to help break gender, financial and racial barriers. The university hopes girls like Yashu will eventually enter an engineering program. Many other universities across the country offer similar programs to encourage women to get into the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. York University, for example, runs all-girl courses that teach science through superheroes. Later this week, the university is expected to launch the Lassonde 50:50 Challenge — an initiative that aims to achieve an equal gender-split enrolment at its Lassonde engineering school. The gender divide in professions such as engineering and computer sciences is a startling problem in Canada. According to Engineers Canada, about 88 per cent of engineers are men. Those numbers are slowly changing because of programs such as these, according to Jennifer Flanagan, the CEO of Actua — an Ottawa-based charity that promotes science to children, especially girls. “They can experiment, tinker and that kind of environment is really conducive to boosting their confidence,” Flanagan said of the programs, which include all-girl science classes. They have been around for two decades, she said, but they’ve become more popular in recent years. Last September, the first-year undergraduate engineering class at the University of Toronto saw 365 women, a 25 per cent increase from the year before. At the University of British Columbia, 29 per cent of its first-year en-

gineering students this year are women, a 61-per-cent jump from 2010. Progress, however, is slow. A report from Engineers Canada shows just 18.3 per cent of undergraduate engineering degrees were awarded to women across the country in 2013, up slightly from 17.6 per cent in 2009. While the program where the kids were building cranes was coed, the University of Toronto offers all-girl classes, which have become quite popular, according to Dawn Britton, who is part of the school’s engineering outreach office. The university also offers summer and March break camps as well as weekend science classes for girls. The goal, Britton said, is to get girls interested in science at a young age, starting at eight years old. At the University of Waterloo, programs begin for girls as young as six. Flanagan said her organization’s research shows girls start losing interest in sciences when they reach Garde 9, when they have to start preparing for their future. Most university science programs require applicants to have taken advanced math and science courses in high school. “If they don’t take physics and advanced math classes in high school, then it’s already too late,” Flanagan said. Parents are a big part of the gender divide problem, Flanagan said, because they often try to influence their children’s career choices based on stereotypes. “They are projecting a false understanding of what those careers are on their daughters and not their sons,” she said. So at the Actua programs, which are offered at 33 universities in Canada, they give pamphlets to the parents to help dispel those myths. Ray Jayawardhana, the dean of the faculty of science at York University, agreed. The under-representation of women highlights the larger issue barriers blocking entry into science. “There is a growing body of evidence that kids don’t choose what they would do when they grow up very early, but they seem to rule out what they might not do very early,” said Jayawardhana, 43, adding that he was just a boy when he decided to become an astronomer. “I grew up in Sri Lanka and I’m an astronomer and there is not a single astronomer to date in Sri Lanka — a country of 20 million people. So the idea that when you’re growing up you can do science or astronomy when no one else is doing it is difficult. It takes a leap into the unknown to think that,” he said. “Our hope is to keep careers in science, engineering and technology in the mix.”

Sittler stones Rebels in homecoming BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Hurricanes 3 Rebels 2 (SO) Pressure? What pressure? Jayden Sittler clearly gets a kick out of stopping pucks in his hometown, whether it be with the Kootenay Ice or, as is the current case, the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The 18-year-old Red Deer product beat the Rebels early last season after being recalled by the Ice as an emergency replacement, and on Saturday posted his second consecutive WHL win over Red Deer as a member of the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Sittler ran his Centrium all-time record to 3-0, making 30 regulation-time saves in a 3-2 shootout triumph before a recorded crowd of 5,887. “I love playing here,” he said. “I feel really comfortable here, really calm. When the crowd says my name at the very beginning of the game, it gets me going. I definitely love playing here and especially winning here. That’s my favourite part of it. “I want to prove myself in front of the home crowd and I think I’ve done that so far. It was a good game all around tonight. The guys played great in front of me and we found a way to get it done in a shootout.” Sittler was beaten by Connor Gay as the Rebels’ first man up in the shootout, then denied Haydn Fleury, Adam Musil, Scott Feser and Presten Kopeck. Rebels goaltender Rylan Toth surrendered a goal to the ‘Canes first shooter, Jamal Watson, then foiled Mike Winther, Georgio Estephan and Tyler Wong before Kord Pankewicz connected to end the contest. The setback dropped the Rebels’ record to 5-10 in extra-time games this season and GM/head coach Brent Sutter suggested there’s a reason for that. “I didn’t think we were very good at all in the first period,” he said. “I ended up having to sit half our team in the first period because they were chasing the game and they weren’t involved. “We played better in the second and third and we had our chances in overtime. Again, you get into a shootout and you never know what’s going to happen. We don’t have success in shootouts and a lot of it has to do with the fact that most games, if you go back

Red Deer Rebel Wyatt Johnson gets stopped by Lethbridge Hurricanes goaltender and Red Deer native Jayden Sittler during a penalty shot in overtime during a meeting between the two teams at the Centrium on Saturday. The Rebels dropped a 3-2 decision to the Hurricanes in a shootout. and see the games where we were in shootouts, we didn’t play a full game. The hockey gods don’t give you that extra point when it’s like that a majority of the time. Just like when you take a bad penalty . . . if you do that you usually get scored against.” The Rebels certainly didn’t turn in a solid 65-minute performance Saturday, despite holding a 32-30 edge in shots. The hosts started slow, but opened the scoring at 11:07 of the first period when rookie Reese Johnson potted his first ever WHL goal, depositing a rebound from the edge of the crease. Trochu native Mike Winther pulled the visitors even four minutes later, connecting with a shot from along the goal line.

Musil tipped a power-play point shot by Gay past Sittler early in the second period to restore the Rebels’ lead, but the ‘Canes got back on even terms once again when Wong worked his way across the low slot and beat Toth with a wide move at 13:05 of the frame. The ‘Canes outshot their hosts 10-8 in a scoreless third period and were outshot 3-0 in the five-minute overtime stanza. Red Deer picked up a single point one night after posting a 5-3 home-ice win over the Prince Albert Raiders, but Sutter was far from satisfied. I don’t think the players should be happy with getting three out of four points this weekend,” he said. “We start playoffs in about a month and we

need to get a lot more from some guys. I wasn’t impressed at all with a couple of our 20-year-olds tonight, they have to be a lot better for us. They have the ability to be better, but they have to be willing to throw themselves into it. And that’s not just a couple of guys, you can go down a whole list of guys.” The Rebels were minus the services of defenceman Colton Bobyk and forwards Conner Bleackley and Evan Polei, all out with injuries, as well as rookie forward Jeff de Wit, who was a healthy scratch. But Sutter wasn’t making alibis, and instead stressed the need for the healthy players to contribute more.

Queens cap second straight ACAC title BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Queens 3 Wolves 0 OLDS – Midway through the first set of the Alberta Colleges Women’s Volleyball League championship final against the Grande Prairie College Wolves it would have been easy for the RDC Queens to shrug their shoulders and start looking toward the rest of the match. But they aren’t built that way. The Queens have the pedigree of a champion and despite trailing 11-1 and 15-6 they relied on their maturity and experience to fight back and win the opening set 25-23. They once again fell behind in the second set 21-15, but won 25-22, then took the third set 25-18 to wrap up their second straight ACAC title. “I think we were second-guessing ourselves a bit in that first set,” said Queens third-year setter and championship MVP Bronwyn Hawkes. “We knew what we could do, but didn’t know that much about them. We didn’t know if they would come out strong or start poorly. When they started quickly we weren’t ready.” Slowly but surely the Queens chipped away at the lead and pulled even at 20-20 thanks to the strong serving of Marisa Neufeld, who came off the bench with the score 16-20. By the time she left the Queens it was 21-21. “We stayed calm and relaxed and everything came together,” said

Hawkes. “I honestly thought that first set was over right away,” said Queens head coach Talbot Walton. “I doubted if we could fix the momentum GP had created. Thankfully the gap was early enough in the set we were able to chip away and once we caught them and when it got past 22 I knew we would

be OK. We didn’t flinch and were solid when we needed to be solid and were good at the end.” Queens outstanding libero, Maddi Quinn, is one of four starters off last year’s national championship team, which defeated Grande Prairie in both the Alberta and Canadian finals. “I think because we were up against

them again we were a bit nervous in that aspect, but overall we stayed calm and once we caught up we knew we could do it,” she said. “They do have younger team and we expected them to make some mistakes.” A lot of those mistakes came in the second set. “I thought they gave the second set to us,” said Hawkes. The Queens managed just five kills, three stuff blocks and an ace in the second set, which saw the Wolves make a number of hitting mistakes. “Talbot always says the team that wants it more won’t make as many mistakes and we didn’t make those mistakes,” added Hawkes. “I think our experience showed … it showed all year,” said Walton. “We were quiet on the floor, and just went about doing our business. We weren’t emotional when we got behind and stayed with it. “Kids like Megan (Schmidt) were outstanding. As a coach I won’t forget those kinds of performances.” Schmidt, who was named player of the match in the final, was brilliant. She was credited with eight kills, but had 10, to go with two stuff blocks and got her hands on a number of other hits. The Queens gave up size in the middle, but used their quickness and experience to their advantage.

Gushue, Nichols reunite for another run at a Canadian title BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Brad Gushue’s pursuit of his first Canadian men’s curling title on his 12th attempt strengthened with the return of Mark Nichols. The Newfoundland and Labrador skip and vice appear to have regained the relationship that made them Olympic gold medallists, as well as perennial Brier contenders prior to a split almost four years ago. “The chemistry and how we work together and grind out games, it’s been great,” Gushue said. “Having a guy that’s been through the battles I’ve been through, it’s nice to have someone you can talk to or rely on in the middle of a key situation.” Gushue and Brad Jacobs of Northern Ontario opened the Tim Hortons Brier with three straight wins to top the standings Sunday. Ontario’s Mark Kean, Saskatchewan’s Steve Laycock and Prince Edward Island’s Adam Casey were tied at 2-1.

The six teams at 1-2 were B.C.’s Jim Cotter, New Brunswick’s Jeremy Mallais, Alberta’s Kevin Koe, Team Canada’s John Morris, Quebec’s JeanMichel Menard and Manitoba’s Reid Carruthers. Jamie Koe of Northwest Territories was 0-3. The top four teams advance to playoffs and the winner will be crowned Sunday. During the first 13 years Nichols threw third stones for Gushue, they won gold in Turin, Italy, in 2006 with Russ Howard and Jamie Korab. They made the Brier playoffs six of eight years and lost in the final in 2007. When Nichols relocated to Winnipeg and joined Jeff Stoughton’s rink following the 2011-12 season, it created a significant void for Gushue. His round-robin winning percentage at the Brier with Nichols was .651 compared to .545 the last three years when his teams made the playoffs once. Newfoundland and Labrador has a smaller pool of curlers than the powerhouse provinces. Gushue recruits

outside his borders. Geography makes recruiting and retaining those players challenging, so Gushue has a reputation for cycling through teammates. Expecting their first child last year, Nichols and his wife Colette returned to Newfoundland to be closer to their families. “He gave me a call, but I definitely was going to reach out to him,” Gushue said. “It was a pretty mutual and easy decision.” It meant jettisoning second Adam Casey, now P.E.I.’s skip, and bumping Brett Gallant from vice to second. “Having the opportunity to bring Mark back I felt was going to make our team better,” Gushue said. “It was a decision that was easy but hard to let Adam know he wasn’t going to be playing with us this year.” Results followed the reunification of Gushue, 34, and Nichols, 35. The team ranks second on the World Curling Tour’s money list this season with a record of 42-18. They’ve won two Grand Slams this winter — the National and

the Masters. “It was pretty seamless to move back into this position and come onto the team,” Nichols said. “It’s been a great year. “There’s been times when we don’t feel like we’re playing as well as we could, but we’re finding ways to win, which is something our teams in the past didn’t quite do.” Gushue feels Nichols’ experience is an asset when it comes to communicating with his front end. Gallant is 25 and lead Geoff Walker is 29. “Down at the other end, he can talk to them and keep them settled in and calm in big situations in a game,” Gushue said. “Having that experience back that we’ve lacked the last couple of years, sometimes it felt pretty lonely out there.” Whether Gushue can follow up the Olympic gold he won at 26 with a Canadian title is now a constant subplot at the Brier.

Gushue scored wins of 8-5 win over Northwest Territories and 9-7 over Team Canada, while Jacobs downed B.C. 7-5 and Alberta 9-5 on Sunday. Jacobs won both Canadian and world titles in 2013 before winning Olympic gold in 2014.

“Talbot had a game plan in which we had to be fearless against their big middles,” said Schmidt. “We couldn’t worry about how big they are. We had to cut the ball against them and not be scarred. “The game plan is to be consistent and never flinch no matter how far we’re behind or ahead. Be consistent and don’t focus on the score. Keep passing and serving well and we did that.” Walton agreed. “We’re built for speed in the middle and we didn’t ask them to make all the blocks, but be there and score. Megan did that today. She must have hit 80 per cent. She was phenomenal. “ Hawkes wasn’t afraid to run her offence out of the middle. “Some teams here were scarred to challenge them, but we showed we’re not those teams.”

I’m not sure if this was our best volleyball, but it’s darn close.” The Queens, and the Wolves, will compete in the nationals, March 12-14 in Longueuil, Que. Dawe, Quinn and Hawkes were named to the tournament all-star team along with Naomi Jardine and Jamie Craig of Olds, Samantha Zacharias of Briercrest and Jordan Drezet and Amy Norman of Grande Prairie. Olds won the bronze with a 15-25, 27-25, 25-19, 18-25, 15-10 win over BBC. SAIT stopped Lakeland 3-1 for fifth place.

“We just need more from some individuals, that’s the bottom line,” he stated. “If we’re going to have success and we want to play late into the spring, we have to get more from some guys . . . there has to be more urgency in our game and more drive. “At this time of the year you have to crank yourself up to another level, this is when you get yourselves ready for the playoffs. We’ve been really struggling the last little while and it comes down to how bad do they want to play and how bad do they want to play in the spring.” Reese Johnson, the younger brother of third-year Rebels veteran Wyatt, looked right at home while competing in his third WHL game. “That’s just an example . . . he’s been one of our better forwards the last two games,” said Sutter. “He’s a 16-year-old that’s what’s scary about it, scary in the sense that as an older player you should almost be embarrassed because a 16-year-old comes in from triple A midget and is one of your better players. And he’s not going to come out of the lineup, that’s just the way it is. There will be other guys who will be starting to come out if they aren’t doing what’s asked of them.” Sutter continued to challenge his players while asking for a full commitment from each one of them over the remaining 10 regular-season games and into the playoffs. “We need to have everyone dialed in and if we don’t have that we struggle,” he said. “Tonight is an example. You can’t play 35 or 40 minutes and expect to win a game. We’re not consistent with getting that 60 minutes we

Alex Donaghy also had a strong game in the middle with five kills, three stuff blocks and five digs. Leah Koot added five kills, and six digs and Miranda Dawe three kills and three digs despite giving way to Laurent Marshall for much of the first two sets. Marshall, Neufeld, Kelsey Ewashkiw and Kendra Sorensen all came in off the bench to play a significant role. “We talked about it earlier today … talked about using some of those girls off the bench to give us a different look, especially on the serve,” said Walton. “The other team doesn’t know what to expect.” Walton had high praise for the players off the bench. “It says something about our players who stand there for two sets and then come in and play a role.” The Queens celebrated just like they did a year ago. “Last year, which was my second with the team, I was there for fun,” said Hawkes. “This year I wanted to win. They say the first is more exciting than the second, but for me they’re totally the same.” This year’s edition of the Queens had a slightly different look after losing Brooke Sutter, Amber Adolf, Karissa Kuhr and Shelby Bromall. “But we knew we had a strong core back and the leadership was there,” said Walton, whose team was ranked No. 1 in Canada all season. “We didn’t

The New York Rangers acquired a big piece in their push for another deep playoff run, picking up All-Star defenceman Keith Yandle in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday. The 28-year-old Yandle has been one of the NHL’s best offensive-minded defencemen, a four-time All-Star who has led the Coyotes in scoring the past three seasons. He has 41 points in 63 games this season and has been the

Steven Stanford blocked all 21 shots he faced for the Eagles in Sunday’s victory. Alex Curran sniped two goals for the winners, while Kyle Lapenskie also connected. Drillers netminder Dan Dunn turned aside 42 shots. On Saturday, the Drillers fired three unanswered third-period goals but fell just short. Justin Cox, with two goals, Chad Ziegler, Brendan Baumgartner and Jeff Archibald scored for the Eagles, with the Drillers getting goals from Alex Pronchuk, Mike Kneeland, Tanner House and Clint Pettapiece. Stanford made 36 saves for the win. Dunn stopped 35 shots at the other end. The fifth game of the series will be played Saturday at Okotoks.

Queens 2 Trojans 0 CALGARY — The Red Deer College Queens punched their ticket to the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference women’s hockey championship with a sweep over the SAIT Trojans. They beat the Trojans 2-0 on Saturday at SAIT Arena to take the best-ofthree semifinal in two games. They now move on to play the No. 1 seeded NAIT Ooks in the best-of-five final starting on Friday. “Had a bit of a slow start, but remained patient and slowly took over in the third. We stuck with the process and found a way to get the job done again,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz in an email. “We have a tough task ahead of us but are confident that we can play at even a higher level to try and bring it home. So proud of this team and what they have accomplished.” Game 2 remained deadlocked into the third period when Megan Jones final broke through at 10:49. The Queens didn’t have to wait much longer for the insurance as Kaley McMurtry scored 41 seconds later to give the Queens a two-goal lead. Summer Roberts stopped all 27 shots she faced for the shutout in her first playoff appearance. Cheynne Eagle stopped 33 of the 35 shots fired her way in the SAIT net. RDC (13-7-4) won the season series with the Ooks, going 4-2-2, however,

due to NAIT (18-3-3) having the better overall record they have home ice advantage for the final. Game 2 is Saturday at the Red Deer Arena with Game 3 in Edmonton on March 13. If needed Game 4 is March 14 in Red Deer with Game 5 in Edmonton. No times have been announced yet. ● The RDC Kings hockey team (1513-0-3) swept their three-game weekend series with the Portage College Voyageurs (1-29-0-2) in dominant fashion. After winning 10-3 in Penhold on Friday, RDC beat Portage 8-5 on Saturday and 7-3 on Sunday in Lac La Biche. There were eight different goal scorers for the Kings on Friday with Joel Topping, Blair Mulder, Doug Jones, Ryan Hoult, Tanner Butler, Jordan McTaggart, Mike Marianchuk and Riley Point all getting in on the action. Mike Salmon made 31 saves on 36 shots for the win. On Sunday, Topping, Point and Connor Patchett all scored twice while Jones added a single goal and Kraymer Barnstable stopped 34 of 37 shots for the win. The Kings wrap up their regular season on Tuesday in Edmonton against the MacEwan University Griffins (20-7-1-3). If they win, they leap frog over the Keyano College Huskies (14-12-2-4) into fifth place and will play the University of Alberta-Augustana Vikings (19-101-2)in the first round of the playoffs. If they lose, they will play the Griffins in the first round.

The Bentley Generals and Innisfail Eagles are both one win away from advancing to the provincial senior AAA final. AJ Gale fired three goals for the Generals, who defeated the host Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs 5-2 Saturday to grab a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven semifinal. Kyle Sheen also scored for the visitors, while the Chiefs, who led 2-1 after one period and trailed 4-2 after 40 minutes, got goals from Trevor Kelly and Richard Kelly. Travis Yonkman turned aside 25 shots in the Bentley net. David Tetrault made 34 saves for the hosts. The Chiefs ensured there would be a fifth game in the series with a 5-2 win Friday at Eckville. Tanner Cochrane, Jamie Marshall, Brant Middleton, Brad Sinclair and Doug Auchenberg (empty net) scored for the visitors. Gale and Torrie Dyck replied for the Generals. Tetrault made 24 saves as the winning netminder, while Dustin Butler looked at 23 shots in the Bentley goal.

we have. If there are trades that make sense for us, we’re going to do it.” The Leafs have already made every logical trade they had to, unloading Franson, Santorelli and Daniel Winnik, and an unconventional one by sending David Clarkson to Columbus for injured winger Nathan Horton. But Holzer and veteran centre Olli Jokinen will be free agents this summer, and anyone from goaltenders Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer to captain Dion Phaneuf to forwards Phil Kessel, Tyler Bozak and Joffrey Lupul could be on the move. “They could trade everyone or anyone,” Bozak said Thursday night. “We expected things to happen. With a lot of guys who are UFAs, those are guys that usually end up getting traded.” Teams that want rentals could look at Buffalo Sabres winger Chris Stewart or goaltender Michal Neuvirth, Dallas Stars centre Shawn Horcoff or New Jersey Devils forwards Scott Gomez and Michael Ryder. There’s plenty of uncertainty around the NHL, and while it has been heightened in the Leafs’ room, players fully understand why. “We put ourselves in this situation,”

could use some depth on a team that has been carried largely to first place in the Atlantic Division by goaltender Carey Price. On Sunday the New York Rangers acquired Keith Yandle from the Coyotes in a huge trade that sent Canadian world-junior star Anthony Duclair, a 2015 second-round pick, conditional 2016 first and John Moore to Arizona for the veteran defenceman, Chris Summers and a 2016 fourth. Out West, the Blackhawks gave up a handful of picks to get Vermette from Arizona and Timonen from Philadelphia, using the salary-cap space created by the potentially devastating injury to star winger Patrick Kane. Adding them to the mix of buyers made the market even more competitive in the past week. Enter teams like the Coyotes and Maple Leafs, with more hope of landing Connor McDavid in the draft than a playoff spot and assets to sell off. Leafs GM Dave Nonis said he wasn’t just going to “fire-sale people out,” but he’s listening. “We need to get value,” Nonis said. “I know from talking to other teams that they covet some of the players

General managers, count your draft picks. In this trade market, they’re valuable currency. In the days leading up to Monday’s 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline, draft picks have been moving at a fast and furious pace. It’s a seller’s market and much more selling could be coming before the clock runs out. Already the Toronto Maple Leafs, Carolina Hurricanes and Arizona Coyotes have gotten first-round picks for Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli, Andrej Sekera and Antonie Vermette, and older players like Kimmo Timonen and Jaromir Jagr have fetched secondrounders and more. Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall didn’t want to say he’s licking his chops about what else he could get in other deals after acquiring second- and fourth-round picks from Chicago for the 39-year-old Timonen, who hasn’t played this season. “In the end they may have underpaid by a long shot for this deal,” Hextall said on a conference call Friday night. “If Kimmo had played all

year and we had moved him right now, this wouldn’t have been the return. It would’ve been, I believe, far greater than this.” Considering that and the recent price for contenders to get deals done, the first-year GM is probably right. Jeff Petry of the Edmonton Oilers and Zbynek Michalek of the Coyotes are the top pending-unrestricted-free-agent defencemen available, and the Leafs might even be able to get something for Korbinian Holzer. If Washington GM Brian McLellan wanted to deal pending UFA Mike Green, he might be able to land one heck of a haul. But with the Capitals a contender to come out of the East, they’re likely better suited to hold on to him and make a run, and acquiring Curtis Glencross from the Calgary Flames on Sunday for 2015 second- and third-round picks helps that cause. The Capitals are far from the only team that believes it can go deep in the playoffs, and a wide-open East could set the table for an interesting predeadline frenzy. The banged-up Boston Bruins would love to add someone as centre David Krejci is out with a knee injury, and the Montreal Canadiens

Rousey makes quick work of Zingano RETAINS TITLE AFTER RECORD-SETTING 14 SECOND SUBMISSION AT UFC 184 side-down, but when it happened, the Olympic medal-winning judoka relied on instinct. “I made that up on the fly, to be honest,” Rousey said. “But it was kind of funny: We were going toward the ground, and I kind of reverted back to judo mode and was thinking, ’Don’t touch your back. It’s a point.’ That’s where the acrobatic thing came from, was thinking about not touching your back in judo. Nobody in the women’s sport can touch Rousey, the most dominant champion in MMA. Rousey’s last three fights have lasted a total of 96 seconds, including two bouts against previously unbeaten opponents. Her 14-second finish was a record for any UFC title bout, but she thought it only went to plan. “That’s not usually how you land an armbar at that angle, but it works,” Rousey said. Champion boxer Holly Holm made her much-hyped UFC debut with a split-decision victory over Raquel Pennington in UFC 184’s penultimate bout as the world’s dominant mixed martial arts promotion ended a two-year absence from Southern California, the home base of Rousey and numerous fighters. But the night was a showcase for the star power of Rousey, who has become one of the UFC’s most prominent fighters just two years after the promotion added women’s bouts. Zingano was considered the most daunting active threat to Rousey’s reign, but was obliterated. Zingano chose the dubious strategy of charging and grabbing onto Rousey, whose judo skills make her practically unbeatable in a clinch.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Ronda Rousey has stopped every opponent she has faced in her meteoric mixed martial arts career, so a first-round victory is no shock for the UFC’s bantamweight champion. Except nobody had finished a UFC title fight this quickly, and hardly anyone had ever done it with so much flair. Rousey stopped Cat Zingano with an acrobatic armbar after just 14 seconds, dramatically defending her 135-pound title at UFC 184 on Saturday night. Rousey’s fifth title defence before the sellout Staples Center crowd could process what it just witnessed. Those 14 seconds were action-packed, and Rousey delivered again. “There’s very few situations where a fight goes 14 seconds and the crowd is cheering and going crazy and looking at each other with their mouths open,” UFC President Dana White said. Rousey (11-0) earned the most impressive victory of her career with jaw-dropping speed, taking out the previously unbeaten Zingano with her signature armlock from an unlikely position. Zingano (9-1) dropped Rousey on her head with a flying charge at the opening bell, but the champ used her peerless judo skills to flip Zingano onto her back. Rousey scampered into position to wrench Zingano’s arm grotesquely — and just like that, the challenger tapped out. Rousey wasn’t surprised by the opening charge: She suspected Zingano might try to catch her unprepared. Rousey didn’t expect to get turned up-

Ronda Rousey, right, grapples with Cat Zingano during a UFC 184 mixed martial arts bantamweight title bout, Saturday, in Los Angeles. Rousey won after Zingano tapped out 14 seconds into the bout. “She’s really good ... but that wouldn’t happen again,” Zingano said. “It was a knee and then a throw and then a scramble, and then she was wrapped around my arm. I got caught. I was ready to do a million different things. I planned on getting in a fistfight tonight.” For the first time in UFC history, two women’s fights headlined a payper-view event. Although partly created by necessity when middleweight champion Chris Weidman was injured, that spotlight is the latest affirmation for women’s MMA and Rousey — a movie star, a model and a celebrity who can sell out a large arena in her

hometown. The 33-year-old Holm (8-0) ended an 11-year pro boxing career in 2013 to concentrate on MMA. Although she did enough to win her UFC debut against the scrappy, undersized Pennington (5-6), Holm and White both said she needs a few more UFC fights before she can challenge for Rousey’s belt. Southern California fighters Tony Ferguson and Alan Jouban kicked off the pay-per-view card with dynamic first-round stoppage victories. Ferguson has won five straight bouts, while Jouban bounced back from a debatable loss with an impressive striking performance.

Blue Jays sign Viciedo Poulter, Casey tied facing a Monday sprint to the to fill hole in outfield title at Honda Classic Viciedo gives the Jays another option in left field with Michael Saunders out for five to six weeks after undergoing surgery to remove his meniscus. But given Saunders’ expected early return date, Viciedo may have a better shot of sticking elsewhere, with Anthopoulos saying first base/DH is “the most wide open spot in terms of competition.” The Jays have talked of giving Edwin Encarnacion, who plays both positions, more time at designated hitter to save his body. Justin Smoak, Daric Barton and Matt Hague are other first base options. Viciedo hit well against left-handers earlier in his career (.350 against lefthanders and .225 against right-handers in 2012) but his splits have narrowed since. He hit .221 against lefties and .235 against righties last season Viciedo is scheduled to have a medical Monday and take the field Tuesday. “If he makes the team better, maybe there’s a spot for him,” said manager John Gibbons. “But he’s got to play well.” Added Anthopoulos: “I think the big thing is we want to see how he hits.” Viciedo showed his bat last June, slamming a Dustin McGowan pitch into the stands for a three-run homer that helped the visiting White Sox to a 4-3 comeback win over the Jays. “Probably my worst move of the year,” Gibbons joked. “He’s got big-time power,” he added. “Really as much as anybody.” Over the last three seasons, Viciedo has 16 hits including four home runs in 42 at-bats at the Rogers Centre. He has hit .313 against the Jays over that period.

DUNEDIN, Fla. — Taking another flyer, the Blue Jays signed outfielder Dayan Viciedo to a minor-league contract Sunday. The 25-year-old Cuban, released by the White Sox in early February, will be given a chance to show he belongs somewhere on the depth chart. “He’s got some power, a right-handed bat,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. “Has played some third (base) in his career, played some first. Certainly played the outfield and we’ll just take a look at him for the month of March and see what we have.” On Thursday, the Jays signed former Cy Young Award-winner Johan Santana to another minor-league deal. Santana, sidelined by shoulder and Achilles injuries, last threw in the majors in 2012. Both players would get a pro-rated US$2.5-million, one-year deal if they make the team, with Santana also getting performance bonuses. The minor league rate is $20,000 a month. “Any minor-league deal, there’s no downside to it,” Anthopoulos said. “You always take chances on those.” Viciedo signed a $10-million, fouryear deal with the White Sox in December 2008. He settled on a one-year $4.4-million contract in arbitration earlier this year but was cut loose with Chicago looking to former Jay Melky Cabrera in left field. The five-foot-11, 240-pound Cuban batted .231 last season with 21 home runs and 58 RBIs. He had 122 strikeouts and 32 walks in 523 at-bats and is not known for his outfield defence.

PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Ian Poulter lost command of the Honda Classic with two swings on consecutive tee shots in a wild final hour Sunday. He still had a share of the lead with Paul Casey heading into a sprint-tothe-finish at soggy PGA National. Poulter was practically flawless in the rain-delayed third round Sunday morning for a 4-under 66 that gave him a three-shot lead over Patrick Reed (70) and Padraig Harrington (71). It was the first time Poulter has had a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour. The third round was washed out Saturday because of nearly 5 inches of rain that toppled a few trees, flooded bunkers and even created mounds of air bubbles on one green. After the third round ended Sunday, the players went right back out to play as many holes of the final round as the sun would allow. Poulter kept his distance until a shank on the par-3 fifth hole, which has water guarding the left side of the green. His ball went so far right that it found water on the sixth hole, leading to double bogey. On his next tee shot, Poulter pulled it into the water and had to two-putt from 65 feet to escape with bogey. Just like that, his lead was gone. And then he got it back on the par-3 seventh with a tee shot into 3 feet for birdie, just as Casey was polishing off a 31 on the

front nine to join him at 7-under par. The final round was suspended by darkness with Poulter on the eighth tee and Casey in the left rough on No. 10. Not to be forgotten was Reed. He was the first to catch Poulter with a three-shot swing on the fifth hole. Reed holed a 35-foot birdie putt from a valley to the right of the fifth green, and he had the outright lead when Poulter made his bogey on No. 6. But on the seventh, as Poulter was making his birdie, Reed took bogey from the left rough to fall one shot behind. Still very much in the mix was Phil Mickelson, who opened with a pair of birdies — one of them a two-putt from 8 feet on the par-5 third — only to give one back with a three-putt bogey at No. 6. Mickelson was at 4 under with Jeff Overton, Brendan Steele, Russell Knox and Daniel Berger, the rookie from West Palm Beach whose final shot Sunday was a chip-in for birdie on No. 11. Harrington, who finished his third round by saving par after a second shot into the water on the par-5 18th, fell back by missing a 4-foot par putt and then taking a double bogey on the sixth hole. He was at 3 under. The real stars at PGA National on Sunday were the grounds crew members. They worked through the night and used 12 pumps to get the water off the course and rebuild the bunkers. The course was filled with so much water that superintendent Lukus Harvey said the crew had to chase an alligator out of three fairway bunkers to clear out the water, and a few water moccasins became real-life hazards.

Johnson pulls away at the end to win another NASCAR race in Atlanta son-ending Chase, going for a title that would tie him with Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt. “It’s pretty much a lock,” Johnson said. “That takes a ton of pressure off.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, followed by Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano, who started from the pole and led 84 laps early in the race. After a big crash on lap 305 brought out the red flag for 9 minutes to clean up the mess, Johnson found himself at the front of the pack. When the green flag waved, he got a good jump off the line, fended off Hendrick Motorsports teammate Earnhardt going down the backstretch, and was firmly in control by the time the cars came back around in front of the stands. There was no catching him from there. Johnson was among four former

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAMPTON, Ga. — Likely locking up a run at his record-tying seventh championship before it even turns to spring, Jimmie Johnson pulled away after the final restart with 13 laps to go Sunday, winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Johnson started near the back after failing to get in a qualifying run because of inspection issues. But the No. 48 Chevrolet was the fastest car on the track at the end of the weekend, cruising across the finish line a comfortable 1.803 seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick. It was the 71st victory of Johnson’s career, and his fourth at the 1.54-mile trioval south of Atlanta. It also gives him an almost-certain spot in the sea-

champions, along with teammate Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth, who never got on the track during qualifying. Thirteen cars were stuck in the garage after failing to pass inspection, a situation that Gordon called “embarrassing” for the sport.

Harvick, who qualified on the outside of the front row, also was sent to the back of the field after blowing an engine during Saturday’s practice. He quickly worked his way through slower cars, got to the front and dominated long stretches of the race, leading a race-high 116 laps.

B4 Kings have to settle for silver

MONDAY, MARCH 2, 2015

LOSE IN ACAC VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL BUT ADVANCE TO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ON WILD-CARD BERTH BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Vikings 3 Kings 2 CAMROSE — Tim Finnigan has never looked so uncomfortable. The Red Deer College Kings allCanadian power looked as if he was having his toe-nails extracted one-byone with each gold medal that was put around a University of Alberta-Augustana Vikings neck. Finnigan and the rest of the Kings were in the unfamiliar position of watching another team celebrate the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s volleyball championship after falling 3-2 (24-26, 19-25, 25-20, 25-22, 1513) to the hosts on Saturday. The one bright side is for Finnigan is his career is not over yet, RDC still advanced to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association Championships on a wild card berth. “It was annoying, I thought we deserved it, I thought we were the better team,” said the fifth year power. “But they played good, they played strong, their crowd was strong for them. I was just irritated and annoyed, I don’t like to be stuck there to watch someone else take my gold medal and my banner.” For the Vikings, the history is not lost on them. This is just their fifth season in the ACAC and they did not just beat the defending national champions — who have 11 CCAA titles to their name — they stopped the Kings from winning their third straight provincial banner and 17th overall. This was a major learning experience for the Vikings and they know they will have to play catch up once again in two weeks in Charlottetown, P.E.I., March 11-14. “This whole year has been a learning process, but it’s been one of those years where you learn as you go,” said Vikings head coach Stephen Leggitt. “They’ve had some big wins and they had a couple of losses where you learn from that ... It was fun. For either team to come in tonight and win 3-0 would have been a shame. To fight like that? I know everybody in this province looks up to (the Kings), the history there, you just respect them. I like that team.” The ACAC gold medal game was a missed opportunity for the Kings, who were coming off perhaps their best

match of the season, a 3-0 (25-22, 2516, 25-12) win over the NAIT Ooks in the semifinal on Friday. But lapses in concentration in the second and fourth sets cost them. After eeking out a back-and-forth opening set win, RDC lost their focus in the second set, falling behind 6-1 early and never recovering. The Kings grabbed the momentum again in the third set but once again lost their edge in the fourth set as the capacity crowd grew in volume. Already trailing 18-11 in the fourth frame, Finnigan picked up a red card from the ref, giving the Vikings a free point. When Kings head coach Aaron Schulha asked for an explanation, he was given another red card, boosting the Augustana lead to 20-11, the Vikings got one pore point before RDC forced a side out and started to chip away at the lead. With ACAC player of the year Luke Brisbane serving and Finnigan taking over on the floor, the Kings got the score back to 23-21, but were not able to complete the full comeback. Still they had the momentum heading into the final set and built a 5-1 lead. But the Vikings continued to feed off the crowd and closed the gap to 8-6 and a switch of sides. The Kings was unable to stop the tidal wave and Augustana pushed on to the 15-13 win as the fans rushed the court. “They were just able to play loose and we started to tighten up when they started to chip away,” said Schulha. “They’re a good team and they had the crowd behind them. At 5-1 in any game it’s not over and I felt our guys just let off the gas a little bit.” Finnigan finished the day with 27 kills, five digs and four blocked shots and was named a tournament all-star and the Kings player of the game for the final. Brisbane had two kills, 45 assists and 15 digs and Regan Fathers had 15 kills, six digs and one block. Tournament MVP Luke Ryan had 20 kills and eight digs for Augustana and finals player of the game Cole McCartney had 13 kills, nine digs and four blocks. The Kings had their fair share of in experience on the floor, including three freshmen in the starting lineup, and they are treating it as something to learn from as they head to nationals.

Red Deer College Kings Luke Brisbane ducks as Augustana Vikings middle Cole McCartney drills an attack at him during the ACAC men’s volleyball championship in Camrose on Saturday. Augustana won 3-2. “Even though it sucks right now, it was a good experience for everyone and I think in the long run, in two weeks we’ll be a lot better as a result of what happened tonight,” said Brisbane, who was named a tournament all-star. With the CCAA championships two weeks away it will give the Finnigan time to get healthy — he has played

through quad injuries all season and had a bout with pink eye on the weekend — and for the Kings to regroup. “There’s no better motivator than this,” said Finnigan. “Obviously I already have a national banner, but this is my last year, I don’t want to go out like that, I don’t want to ever feel like that again, it’s a big motivator.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Central Alberta athletes win five medals Kocher lands in second week of Canada Winter Games BIATHLON

on podium at IBU event in Canmore

CANMORE — Red Deer biathlete Zina Kocher blazed through the field en route to a silver-medal finish in the women’s sprint event of the IBU Cup 7 competition during the weekend. Kocher, 32, shot 9/10 and clocked a time of 20:16.5 around the 7.5 km track to grab her first international podium finish since 2007. “It feels amazing. I have tears. I’ve had to work all year to finally get this, and I finally put it all together,” Kocher said. Karoline Horchler of Germany won her second straight gold medal in Canmore, shooting clean and clocking a time of 19:58.7. Marine Bolliet of France finished third. Struggling through the toughest year of her biathlon career, where the Red Deer native was left off of Canada’s world cup and world championship team, Kocher made a statement with the best result of her season. Disappointed with Saturday’s race, where she missed four targets and finished 19th, she wanted to perform in front of her friends and family. “There is definitely a huge fire inside of me that says ‘get it together for God’s sake,’ ” Kocher said. “Knowing the accomplishments I’ve had in the past helped me. I really just wanted to enjoy the fact I’m racing at home.” Coach Richard Boruta spoke briefly with Kocher before Sunday’s race, and asked her to break it down into three intervals. The strategy worked remarkably well. Kocher broke onto the Canadian scene as a junior in 2001, and won her first European Cup race in 2003. The three-time Olympian has been a staple on the Canadian scene for 15 years, and seen the program change substantially in that time. “It was so exciting for me as an older athlete finishing my career to see all these young athletes coming up that are so strong,” said Kocher. “I didn’t have that when I started. Today was extra special to have so many of my former teammates, friends and family around. Tonight will be a good celebration.”

Central Alberta athletes snared five medals in the second and final week of the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C. Winning silver medals were Taylor Laing of Red Deer in synchronized swimming, and Jeremy Klessens of Red Deer County and Dominic Schiemann of James River Bridge in male hockey. Kalena Soehn of Red Deer earned a bronze medal in individual female trampoline and Mark Armstrong of Red Deer was a bronze medalist in the male category. Laing was 32nd in the female fig-

ures preliminaries with 68.134 points, placed second in the team preliminaries with 74.122 and won silver as a member of the Alberta contingent in the team final with 74.056 points. Klessens and Schiemann were with the Alberta team that fell 3-1 to Ontario in the male hockey gold-medal game, and Soehn won bronze in the female trampoline with 33,900 points. She was fourth in team trampoline and placed second in flight 2 of the preliminaries. Armstrong, meanwhile, was fourth in preliminaries with 62,800 points be-

fore nailing down his bronze medal. Taylor Davies of Red Deer was 15th in the girls snowboard slopestyle event with a time of 1:20.47 and was then eliminated during the quarter-finals. In cross-country skiing, Anna Zimmerman of Sylvan Lake was 28th in classic female sprint qualifications with a time of 4:37.00, sixth in the 1.4 km class sprint, 27th in the 10km free mass start with a clocking of 31:27.50 and 28th in the final standings. Zimmerman also placed 23rd in the 7.5 classic interval start event with a time of 26:38.20, and 23rd overall.

JV Raiders, Lightning win basketball zone titles The Lindsay Thurber Raiders and Hunting Hills Lightning captured the boys and girls JV zone basketball championships Saturday. The Raiders, with Andrew Ma netting 18 points and Kyle Pangan and Liam Goodyear each adding 10, downed the Notre Dame Cougars 67-60 in the boys gold-medal game. Jeb Maribijoc led the Cougars with 23 points. In the girls championship contest, the Lightning got 24 points from Leah Hagel and 10 from Jessie Handley in a 57-33 conquest of Notre Dame. Krisha Hearnez drained 10 points in a losing cause. In the girls bronze-medal match, the Wetaskiwin Sabres posted a 4845 win over the Lacombe Rams. Teagan Hutchinson scored a team-high 12 points for the Rams. The Camrose Trojans defeated Wetaskiwin 64-62 to win bronze in the boys division.

RDC sweep Clippers in final games of regular season BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Kings 104 Clippers 53 In a perfect world the RDC Kings would have finished their Alberta Colleges Men’s Basketball League regular season in a battle against one of the other top teams in the South Division. But that’s not the way it was set up. Instead the Kings final two games were against the last-place Briercrest Bible College Clippers. “If you look across the conference several of the teams were playing more meaningful games and we miss being involved in games like that,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. “But that’s not the way it was so we have to make the most of this opportunity and work on a couple of things to prepare for the playoffs. The Kings wrapped up first place in the South Division with a 98-60 victory Friday then disposed of the Clippers 104-53 on Saturday afternoon at RDC. Two members of the Kings — fifthyear guard Jacob Cusumano and thirdyear forward Brian Prenoslo — were honoured prior to Saturday’s game. The two will move on after this season. Cusumano made the most of his final appearance before a home crowd as he pumped in 27 points, nailing six of ten from three-point distance. “Jacob lit it up,” said Pottinger. “At one stretch in the third quarter he nailed five threes in a row. It was a great final game for him at home.” JP LeBlanc added 13 points while Matt Mateur had 13 points and eight rebounds, Tyler Wise 10 points, two

rebounds and three assists and Benny Bankazo 10 points and five boards. Prenoslo added eight points, Justin Jarvis six points and 10 rebounds and Matt Johnson nine points, four rebounds and five assists. The Kings head to Keyano in Fort McMurray Tuesday for the ACAC finals, which open Thursday. The Kings meet the host Huskies in their first game. Queens 69 Clippers 50 After battling to beat the last-place Clippers 78-76 Friday the Queens turned in a better defensive effort Saturday to record a 69-50 victory. The Queens trailed 18-16 after the first quarter, but outscored the Clippers 21-13 in the second period and 1312 in the third. They held a 19-7 margin in the final 10 minutes. Winning their final two league games, even though it was against a last-place team, is a boost to the RDC program. “For sure,” said Queens head coach Ken King. “It’s something we can build on, something we can get excited about for the girls returning and the recruits.” King will have conversations with his players over the next couple of weeks about who will be back next season. Desirae Paterson led the team with 15 points while impressive rookie Morgan Dool had nine points, 10 rebounds and four assists.

Brisbane named ACAC men’s volleyball player of the year BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF With two volleyball teams that spent the year at the top of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Association standings, the post-season awards have already started to trickle in. Kings setter Luke Brisbane was named men’s player of the year as well as to the South All-Conference team where he was joined by outside hitter Tim Finnigan and libero Patrick MacInyre. “It’s obviously a huge honour, I don’t think I’d be in this situation if Tim had a full season, I think quite clearly he’s our leader,” said Brisbane. Due to an early season injury to incumbent starting setter Tegan McGraw, the rookie from Melbourne, Australia was thrust into action and was never taken out again. Brisbane finished the season with a South Division high 844 assists, placing him second in the division in assists per set with 9.0, behind only Marcus Biesheuvel (9.8) from the Lethbridge College Kodiaks. But he is more than just a distributor of the ball, Brisbane is an offensive weapon with 37 kills and 26 service aces on the season while also being tough defensively with 40 blocks and 155 digs — second in both categories on the Kings. “I think he’s just starting to figure out how good he can be,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “He doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of certain situations, which is great,

you want guys to not feel that pressure and to thrive under it. He’s been impressive for us all year, played every single point of every match since that first week.” Brisbane said he learned a lot this year from watching his oft injured captain Finnigan who played through pain and was a constant source of encouragement on the court and from the sidelines. “He just knows how you should react in certain situations, he’s really confident as a result of knowing how he should act and with his confidence he does act and play really well in clutch moments,” said Brisbane. “When we’re down we just get Tim going and it works out for us. He’s a great player and the best captain I’ve ever played with.” On the women’s side, Queens power Miranda Dawe, setter Bronwyn Hawkes, libero Madelyn Quinn and middle Alex Donaghy were all named to the South All-Conference team. “They are some of the best players in the conference for sure, not just on one night but throughout the season,” said Queens head coach Talbot Walton, referencing their provincial championship won on Saturday in Olds. “Definitely their consistency every day at a high level of play, I think was a good representation for them. It’s always nice for those kids who have those opportunities and take advantage of them and play their best every night to get recognized.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

TALLINN, Estonia — Kelsey Rocque and her Edmonton rink defeated the United States 7-3 Sunday as Canada’s women’s team improved to 2-0 at the world junior curling championships. Rocque, the defending world champion, set the tone in the second end with a perfectly executed a 15-foot runback onto a U.S. rock buried behind a guard. The gutsy shot set the team up for an eventual deuce. “We had a similar shot at the Canadian nationals against Quebec in the tenth end to win the game and we made it,” Rocque said. “I knew it was a do-ordie shot and I threw it to make it. If I would’ve missed it, it would have been a whole different story.” The Canadian women are now leading the standings at 2-0 along with Scotland and Sweden. On the men’s side, Canada is 2-1 after splitting games on Sunday. Winnipeg’s Braden Calvert opened the day with a 7-4 loss to Russia, but bounced back with a 6-4 win over the U.S.

made 28 saves for the win as each team had 31 shots on goal. Meanwhile, the Red Deer North Star Chiefs split a pair of contests, winning 5-2 over the visiting Calgary Blackhawks Sunday and dropping a 4-2 decision on home ice to the Airdrie/ Cochrane Avalanche Saturday. Justin Paarup scored once and picked up two helpers in North Star’s win, while Seth Stratton, Kobe Williams, Nathan Dyck and Austin Lawson also connected for the Chiefs, who got a 38-save effort from Justin Travis. The Blackhawks outshot the Chiefs 40-30. Daegan MacDonald and Graysen Cameron tallied for the Chiefs in Saturday’s setback. Canon Whitbread made 29 saves for North Star, outshot 33-32. Major bantam girls Chantelle Sandquist made 32 saves in a losing cause as the Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs fell 4-0 to the visiting Calgary Rangers Sunday. The Rangers held a 36-11 advantage in shots.

RED DEER SPORTSMAN AND OUTDOOR ADVENTURE SHOW STORY AND PHOTOS BY ASHLI BARRETT/ADVOCATE STAFF Westerner Park was the place to be this past weekend for hunters, fishers and lovers of the outdoors. The 49th annual Red Deer Sportsman and Outdoor Adventure Show, which ran Friday through Sunday, spanned the Parkland, Prairie and Stockmen’s pavilions and featured over 120 exhibitors. Boats lined either end of the show, with everything from fishing and hunting gear, airsoft guns, ATVs, African safari adventures and much more. Hunters and fishers had the opportunity to attend seminars hosted by Jason Acorn and Calvin Buckler of Boneyard TV, a documentary-styled hunting show on the Wild TV network. Bentley Coben Wildlife Productions also hosted seminars for hunting enthusiasts. Attractions for the whole family included the Canadian Reptile Encounters show, which saw founder Jason Clevett talk about snakes found in Alberta, and other reptiles from around the world. The locally-based Hot Diggity Dogs agility show was also incredibly popular with families, showcasing a number of different dogs running through a course. Children were kept entertained by fishing in the magnetic fish pond and other outdoorsy activities set up the Red Deer Junior Forest Wardens. The Sportsman and Outdoor Adventure Show is put on by the Red Deer Fish and Game Association, a non-profit conservation organization.

Industry competes for investment MEDICAL MARIJUANA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The free-for-all era of Canada’s commercial medical marijuana industry is over as a new crop of growers try to woo scarce investment dollars in an increasingly competitive business, observers say. Boris Ziger, CEO of Matica Enterprises Inc., said the short-lived days of unbridled growth ended soon after last year’s change in federal regulations that shifted medical-marijuana production to commercial enterprises from patients growing their own pot. He said the stock market went “absolutely crazy” in the spring of 2014 as various companies began branding themselves as pot producers in hopes of cashing in on what was really “irrational exuberance you hear about in business school.” “It’s become much less Wild West-y,” said Ziger, of the Toronto-based investment firm that has sunk millions of dollars into aspiring medical marijuana producer THC Dispensaries Canada Ltd., in Nova Scotia. All the exuberance at the beginning of the rush had Canada’s security regulators warning investors about buying into medical marijuana companies over lack of disclosure and the general frenzy in the market. “It was a very hyped-up market, people were very speculative, a lot of loosey-goosey talk,” said Nick Brusatore, who owns a controlling share of verticalfarm innovator and marijuana-producing hopeful Affinor Growers. “People have had enough of the hype,” he said. “The market’s wise to it now.” But new businesses trying to get into medical marijuana production are having a tough time financing their ventures. “Even we’re finding it a little difficult to raise some cash,” Ziger said, adding the newest players have to work a lot harder for what could be a big payoff. “There hasn’t been a new industry opening up like this since the prohibition of alcohol was lifted. That’s really the only comparison you can make.” Ziger said Matica is in the final stages of obtaining a licence from Health Canada and plans are in the works for a $10-million expansion of a 14-hectare lot in Nova Scotia for THC to eventually produce 11,000 kilograms of medical marijuana annually. Despite the stiff competition for investors’ cash, companies continue to apply to Health Canada for licences to produce medical marijuana. As of Jan. 26, Health Canada had received more than 1,200 applications for Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations licences.

A board shows different products for sale at a medical marijuana dispensary in Vancouver, Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2015. The free-for-all era of Canada’s commercial medical marijuana industry is over as a new crop of growers try to woo scarce investment dollars in an increasingly competitive business, observers say. The agency said that about half of them were returned as incomplete, while 223 were refused and 35 were withdrawn. Health Canada said 23 licences have been issued — 15 for fully authorized production of medical marijuana and eight for probationary, cultivation-only permits. The agency is currently processing 320 applications. An estimated 40,000 patients use medical marijuana in Canada. The exact number of people whose doctors prescribe marijuana is unknown because of a court injunction that allows producers under a now-dismantled licensing system to continue growing in the leadup to a constitutional court challenge. In the early days of the new-generation industry, a disproportionate number of beleaguered mining companies was among the ranks of medical marijuana newcomers lured by the prospect of satisfying disgruntled shareholders. An already established network of deep-pocketed investors was especially useful in a fledgling indus-

BlackBerry deepens Samsung partnership BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — BlackBerry Ltd. (TSX:BB) is bulking up its security partnership with Samsung Electronics in an effort to attract more business customers. The Waterloo, Ont.,-based smartphone company says it has locked in a new agreement that will integrate more of its services into Samsung Knox, the South Korean company’s mobile security platform. The pact is the latest in a growing relationship between BlackBerry and Samsung, once smartphone industry rivals who are now combining some of their efforts to bolster a competitive stance against Apple Inc., which is making its own solo push into the business community — known within the industry as enterprise users. BlackBerry chief executive John Chen said his company brings additional security features to the table that Samsung needed to improve its slate of software. “Samsung is a consumer company and they intended to get into the enterprise space,” Chen said on a recent conference call with reporters. “Enterprise needs a lot more than what the Knox offered.” The joint announcemt comes just before the start of the Mobile World Congress trade fair in Barce-

try. OrganiGram Holdings Inc. was once known as Inform Exploration Corp., and is now a fully licensed medical marijuana producer. Other established mining companies also making the transition to diversity into the marijuana industry are Bayhorse Silver Inc., Satori Resources and Vodis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., formerly Southbridge Resources. Many of the companies angling to get in on the medical marijuana game are eagerly eyeing the prospect of outright legalization in Canada and are positioning themselves to take advantage of any legislative change. But some dissenters believe legalization would spell the end of the medical marijuana industry in Canada. Brusatore said legalization would see pot sourcing shift outside of Canada to places like Argentina and Uruguay, where growing costs are a fraction of what they are domestically. “The marijuana markets are not going to be what people think. They’re going to get crushed. Period.”

BRIEF

lona, Spain on Monday. BlackBerry’s WorkLife allows businesses to supply phones to their employees, but create a virtual divide within the device that allows it to operate as if it were two separate phones. For instance, a company-owned phone can operate as both a personal and work phone, creating a split between work and personal phone calls, texts and data usage. It will be available through carriers later this year, though BlackBerry did not provide any specific target date. SecuSuite software adds an extra level of security to the phone with encryption technology that makes voice and text communication “virtually tap-proof,” Blackberry said. The service will be available on Samsung Knox this fall. Last year, BlackBerry announced an initial partnership with Samsung, giving owners of Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets the option of linking with BlackBerry’s new mobile security software, known as BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12. BlackBerry has been trying to pivot its business model away from the consumer market under the leadership of Chen, who joined the company in late 2013. His strategy has focused on cementing new relationships with corporate clients, as services and software revenues begin to eclipse the money it makes from handsets.

Feds appoint new corporate social responsibility watchdog for mining companies TORONTO — The Conservative government has named its new corporate social responsibility counsellor for the mining sector. It says the watchdog will have a more pro-active approach for dealing with complaints involving Canadian companies. Longtime industry adviser and engineer Jeffrey Davidson takes on the role after a major overhaul of the government’s strategy on responsible resource extraction abroad. Davidson is a professor at Queen’s University, and has worked specifically in the area of community relations and sustainable development for 15 years. International Trade Minister Ed Fast said Davidson will be looking to prevent, identify and resolve disputes over environmental and human rights issues at their early stages. Fast said that companies that do not comply with social responsibility guidelines and refuse dispute resolution will see any federal support for their projects withdrawn. The position of corporate social responsibility counsellor sat vacant for a year, but the office continued to cost the government $181,600 according to information released in January. The government says staff in the office carried out the duties while the counsellor position was vacant.

Generation gap extends to retirement Generation gap is technically defined as the differences between younger generations and their elders, especially between children and their parents. The generation gap has existed throughout human history, and two recent studies suggest it still exists today, even when it comes to how the baby boomers and their younger generation children view saving for retirement. Baby boomers make up 29 per cent of Canada’s population. Many of those born in the beginning of the boom in 1946 already have left the workforce, while the youngest of the boomer generation, those born in 1964, are turning 50 and will begin to consider retiring or will retire soon. TALBOT The boomers, for one thing, BOGGS want to be financially independent in retirement and seem to be shunning a desire from their children to help keep them comfortable in retirement. An RBC poll found that while a majority (72 per cent) of younger Canadians aged 18 to 34 believe they owe it to their parents to keep them comfortable in retirement, a greater majority (76 per cent) of boomers don’t want this IOU and want to be financially independent in retirement, even though they’re not sure how they will achieve this goal. Part of the reason for this view may be that boomers believe their children’s generation is facing

MONEYWISE

more financial pressures and is less prepared for retirement, even though 37 per cent of boomers who have determined how much they need to retire comfortably estimate they are somewhat short of or even nowhere close to where they thought they would be in terms of their retirement savings. “We’re seeing a strong desire among boomers for financial independence in retirement, coupled with uncertainty around how they will accomplish this goal,” said Richa Hingorani, senior manager of financial planning support with RBC Financial Planning. Another study by BMO Financial Group found that 47 per cent of millennials are optimistic about their ability to afford retirement, compared to only one-third of boomers. Millennials reported feeling they need on average of $441,610 in savings in their registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) for retirement, compared to boomers who say they need an average of $385,184 in theirs. Currently, millennials only have an average of $15,194 saved and boomers $385,184 in their RRSPs toward their retirement goal. “Considering how much time millennials have to save for their retirement, their confidence in their ability to reach their target makes sense,” said Chris Buttigieg, senior manager, wealth planning strategy, with BMO Financial Group. “However, they should definitely take heed of any lessons learned from their parents about what works and what doesn’t with saving for retirement, and make sure they have a financial plan that will keep them on track.” Millennials and their parents have other differing views about retirement saving. RRSP ownership among the younger generation

has dropped to 36 per cent, its lowest level in more than a decade, and well below the 67 per cent level among boomers aged 50 to 69. Forty-eight per cent of younger Canadians are more likely to say that having enough savings is one of their top concerns in retirement, compared to 38 per cent of boomers. Younger Canadians are more worried about balancing immediate savings with long-term retirement savings than boomers, and millennials with unused RRSP contribution room are more worried about the impact this will have on their retirement than their boomer parents. As well, boomers tend to make onetime contributions to their RRSPs more than their children, who tend to use regular contribution plans more than their parents do. “We understand that younger Canadians have many competing financial demands on their lives which may make it difficult for them to focus on RRSPs and retirement savings — they also have other options such as tax free savings Accounts to help them grow their savings,” said Hingorani. “We also know RRSPs continue to be one of the best ways to save for retirement. A distinct advantage of RRSPs for young people to consider is that the sooner you can get your RRSP started the greater the opportunity you have to grow these savings significantly by the time you are ready to retire.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

Markets to focus on Bank of Canada WILL CENTRAL BANK CUT RATES AGAIN? STOCK MARKET LOOK AHEAD BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Market attention moves to the Bank of Canada this week now that the quarterly earnings season has pretty much wrapped up. There are still a few companies to report, notably Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS), which hands in results on Tuesday. A run of generally positive reports from the other big banks helped give some lift to the TSX last week, which finished up 0.04 per cent. Traders are looking to the central bank’s rate announcement on Wednesday to see if it will again surprise markets with a cut as it did in January. At that time, the bank decided to take a pre-emptive move to support the economy to deal with the economic effects of the collapse in oil prices, cutting its key rate a quarter point to 0.75 per cent. Since then, there has been heightened speculation that the bank would cut again, as early as Wednesday. But Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz indicated last week that the bank may not want to move right away. He said the cut in January has given the Bank of Canada time to figure out how best to steer the country back toward stability. And Poloz added that the rate cut in January has given policy-makers more confidence the economy should be back on a more sound footing by the end of next year, rather than some time in 2017. “Prior to this week, the market had not just a rate cut almost completely priced in for March, it was assuming there was a good possibility of yet another rate cut after March,” said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital

Markets. “Now, it’s actually seen as a bit of longshot for the bank to cut rates in early March although the market still is of the view there is a good possibility that at some point rates could be trimmed again.” Porter said that another rate cut depends on where oil prices head and the bank getting a better idea of the economic fallout from prices that have plunged 40 per cent from late November alone amid a huge demand/supply imbalance. “It might take a little bit more time for everybody, including the bank of Canada, to get a better grip on exactly how serious this effect has been,” he said. Statistics Canada releases its latest data on gross domestic product growth for December and the fourth quarter on Tuesday but Porter doesn’t think that report will factor into decisionmaking on rates. “I would assume they have a good read on it already,” he said. “It is going to be below what the bank expected in its monetary policy report in January — they were at that time expecting 2.5 per cent growth, it’s going to be closer to two per cent we think.” The other major economic event of the week is Friday when the U.S. government releases its employment report for February. Canadian employment data for February will be released March 13. “The big story is the (U.S.) job market has turned for real over the last year and will just strengthen the case that the Federal Reserve will raise rates later this year,” added Porter. “We’re leaning towards September (but) I don’t rule out June.”

Governments to pay for study on how to ignite the Ring of Fire BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

ONTARIO

TORONTO — Some of Canada’s most remote and impoverished First Nations communities isolated within northern Ontario’s so called Ring of Fire region are getting funding to conduct a study on how to open the area to development. However at least one critic suggested the study, which is to look at establishing a year-round transportation corridor in part to allow mining operations, would be redundant. The study will be led by the Webequie First Nation in partnership with the First Nations of Eabametoong, Neskantaga and Nibinamik, with the federal and Ontario governments each contributing $393,814. Various stakeholders have been discussing for years how to connect the region. It has been widely agreed that economic development of the Ring of Fire would be very limited without some way to connect it to the rest of the world. “We’ve always struggled to connect with the mainstream society, and I think as we move forward we will eventually connect with the real world and then hopefully we see the benefits that we always strive for,” said Webequie First Nation Chief Cornelius Wabasse, adding that the remote community is only accessible by air in the summertime and by road in the winter months. Nibinamik First Nations Chief

Johnny Yellowhead said he was apprehensive of working with the provincial government at first but is pleased with the results. “I was told when we started approaching Ontario -- you’ll never get Ontario to listen to you,” he said. “But I’m glad they’re here, even the federal minister. We’re making progress as we go and I’m very grateful to see that.” Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Ontario Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle made the announcement at a mining conference in Toronto on Sunday. “What does that mean for this region?” Rickford said. “It means that communities will have the opportunity to work collaboratively to assess, plan and develop a shared transportation solution that will open the door for future development in northwestern Ontario.” Rickford said the project will position the region to capitalize on projects such as the Ring of Fire, but its main goal is to open up the region and meet the immediate and long term needs of local communities in the region. New Democrat MP Claude Gravelle questioned spending money on a study, saying the investment should be focused directly on infrastructure in the region, because a similar study has already been done.

Berry said while he understands the reluctance towards the levy, he believes marketing will be key to bringing up prices. “As much as China’s expanded over the past four, five or six years, I think it could be so much bigger and I guess it’s how we get into that market and try to market our product that we’re going to get a better price.”

HALIFAX — Canadian lobster exports to Asia are growing but one lobster fisherman says that hasn’t had much impact on Maritime shore prices. Bernie Berry of the Coldwater Lobster Association said prices are not yet reflecting the increased Asian demand. “We’re not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth, it’s just we were expecting maybe a little bit more,” said Berry, whose organization represents fisherman in southwestern Nova Scotia. Berry said prices in his area this year are about 10 cents higher on average than the year before. The bigger advantage of the Asian markets is that it is easier to unload catches, he said. “Before the market in China really took off ... we were landing so many lobsters some of the times things would get backlogged,” he said. “But now I think there’s enough market, it’s big enough and still getting bigger, that it just absorbs what we can catch even though we’re at record levels.” Exports of live Canadian lobsters to Asia have increased by more than 400 per cent over the past five years, Halifax Stanfield International Airport recently said in a news release. The airport said during the holiday season last year, Korean Air Cargo made weekly flights to South Korea with each one carrying 40 to 50 tonnes of lobster, with the largest shipment recorded at 100 tonnes. While China remains the biggest Asian market for Canada’s lobster, South Korea is becoming increasingly important, said Geoff Irvine of the Lobster Council of Canada. Canadian exports of live lobster to South Korea doubled in value between 2011 and 2013, the federal government says. On Jan. 1, the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement came into effect, which Irvine said should further increase Canada’s share of the Korean

BRIEF Lady Gaga, Vince Vaughn take icy plunge into Chicago’s Lake Michigan for Special Olympics CHICAGO — Lady Gaga and Vince Vaughn made plunges into the icy waters of Chicago’s Lake Michigan at a fundraiser for Special Olympics. Special Olympics Chicago President Casey Hogan said Sunday that Gaga did the plunge with more than 4,500 other participants. Hogan says the singer’s appearance was “a very nice surprise.” Gaga recently announced her engagement to Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney. Photos show her and a barechested Kinney going into the water together. Vaughn also made the plunge. The native of the Chicago suburb Lake Forest was dressed in his Chicago Blackhawks jersey and jeans. The actor went in up to his knees, then eased himself down backward in the water.

In this image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Will Smith appears in a scene from the film, Focus.

Focus tops the box office BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Will Smith’s con-man caper Focus dethroned Fifty Shades of Grey at the box office, but the film’s modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star. According to studio estimates Sunday, Warner Bros.’ Focus easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller Kingsman: The Secret Service, which made $11.8 million in its third week of release. After two weeks atop the box office, Fifty Shades of Grey continued its steep slide, landing in fourth with an estimated $10.9 million for Universal Pictures. Fifty Shades, which has made $486.2 million globally, fell just behind Paramount’s The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, which earned $11.2 million in its fourth week. The weekend’s only other new wide release, Relativity’s horror film The Lazarus Effect, opened in fifth place with $10.6 million.

But the weekend was largely seen, fairly or not, as a referendum on Smith’s star power. Focus, written and directed by the Crazy, Stupid, Love duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, is Smith’s first film since 2013’s After Earth, the sci-fi flop in which he costarred with his son, Jaden. Smith has been frank about the sting of that film’s box-office performance. “I can’t allow the box-office success, or lack thereof, to determine my selfimage,” he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. But Focus, made for about $50 million and co-starring Margot Robbie of The Wolf of Wall Street, was never intended to be a summer-sized blockbuster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million. “This is a mid-budgeted film with a result that matches,” said Jeff Goldstein, head of distribution for Warner Bros., who added that winter storms accounted for a drop of $1-2 million. “There’s no question we got hammered because of inclement weather in the South and the Midwest.” The R-rated Focus overwhelmingly appealed to adults, with 88 per cent of its audience older than 25 — not a

Tiffany’s

good sign for Smith’s appeal to a new generation of moviegoers who weren’t around for his triumphs in Independence Day. Nevertheless, there aren’t many stars who could do better with a drama in late February. And Focus should play well internationally, where Smith’s popularity remains strong. “This still goes on his balance sheet as a number one debut,” said Paul Degarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office data firm Rentrak. “He can still draw an audience, particularly with a film that’s R-rated and not aimed at the young crowd.” Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. Focus, $19.1 million. 2. Kingsman: The Secret Service, $11.8 million. 3. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water $11.2 million. 4. Fifty Shades of Grey, $10.9 million. 5. The Lazarus Effect, $10.6 million. 6. McFarland, USA, $7.8 million. 7. American Sniper, $7.7 million. 8. The DUFF, $7.2 million. 9. Still Alice, $2.7 million. 10.

MADRID — Spanish police have broken up a gang that allegedly created and then sold fake works of art purporting to be by renowned artists including Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Joan Miro. Officers have arrested nine suspects in the eastern region of Valencia, including the alleged counterfeiters and intermediaries involved in selling the fakes online and through galleries, an Interior Ministry statement says. The investigation began following a complaint that art objects had been stolen from a house in the eastern city of Denia. Police proceeded to search seven addresses and seized 271 works, including canvasses, sculptures and documents to be used in the falsification of the art’s provenance. Saturday’s statement says the alleged counterfeiters were three brothers and a couple, who had all been faking art for seven years.

Bruce Willis laments sudden end to action-thriller Wake, blames financier LOS ANGELES — Bruce Willis is not saying “Yippie-ki-yay” about the cancellation of his latest film. A spokesman for Willis told The Associated Press that production of Wake was suddenly halted this week when financing fell through, and the actor is concerned that crew members who joined him “in good faith” are left jobless. Publicist Paul Bloch said the company responsible for financing the film didn’t deliver the promised funds, so production of the action-thriller was indefinitely suspended. Shooting began earlier this month in Cleveland. Benaroya Pictures did not return calls and emails seeking comment Friday. Wake, about a man who gets caught up in the siege of a remote island while attending his brother’s wake there, was also to star Ben Kingsley and Ellen Burstyn.

Sister-in-law’s selfishness irks wife

where she had enjoyed many summers. That’s fine. But Carol proceeded to put a deposit down on a big cottage, made a list of everyone she wanted to attend and then informed my husband that we would have to get our own cottage at our own expense. I have never seen my husband so angry and upset. Once he had calmed down, I suggested he call Carol and tell her off. Instead, he said this is just her personality and forget about it. My husband has always been the whipping boy for Carol. He tells me to find it in my heart to forgive, but I’m tired of forgiving this type of cruel and selfish behavior. I refuse to go to this memorial, because I view it as one last vacation on Mom’s dime. I told my husband to go without me, but I know I’ll resent it if he goes, and he’ll resent me if he stays. I really need some help dealing with this last slap in the face. — Stunned Once Again Dear Stunned: You are thinking of this as a favor for Carol, but it is really for your husband. He wants to attend the memorial and have your emotional

knocked unconscious when she was pelted by an egg in a so-called drive-by egging. Detective Patrick Michaud says the egg hit the woman right behind the ear and knocked her out early Tuesday. Her friends caught her before she fell to the ground and drove her to a local hospital. Police say the woman and her friends were standing outside a bar in the Crown Hill neighbourhood when someone in a passing truck threw a volley of eggs at them. An employee of the bar was also hit in the egging. Michaud said Thursday that he didn’t know her condition. Witnesses described the truck as a small black or green pickup with a canopy and dark-tinted windows.

BRIEF Fog machine in Pittsburgh art installation prompting false fire alarms PITTSBURGH — Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. But fog signals art, as Pittsburgh firefighters are quickly learning. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that firefighters have been called to a downtown public square at least twice — including on Thursday morning — by people who reported smoke when they saw machine-generated fog that’s part of a new art installation. “A Winter Landscape Cradling Bits of Sparkle” by artist Jennifer Wen Ma is a small oasis of mulched trees enveloping a small, boardwalk path. The fog machine belches every 10 minutes to simulate a cloudy mountaintop. The Office of Public Art, a publicprivate agency, says firefighters are being advised and the intensity of the fog bursts may be toned down to lessen the chance of future false alarms. The installation runs through April 12.

totally in gear and blurt out offensive comments without meaning to. We hope your letter will encourage folks to think twice, but in the meantime, try to show forbearance. It’s good practice for when you are raising children. Dear Annie: I would like to weigh in on “More Than a Little Grossed Out,” whose cousin’s 14-year-old son still sleeps with Grandma. The boy may believe this is appropriate because he has been conditioned to think this way by his mother and grandmother. It may have started when he was a hard-to-settle infant and was then perpetuated to satisfy their needs. Whether or not there is abuse, it is inappropriate and keeps this boy infantilized. I hope the family can see the potential for harm in what they are doing. — Appalled in Ithaca, N.Y.

along, and keeping a sensible financial head on your shoulders. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid being a loudmouth Lion today and don’t believe everything you hear, especially at work. If you think carefully before you speak, it will save you from a day of dramas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t make mountains out of molehills, especially at work. Today’s stars favour taking a broad overview and keeping a positive attitude. Then you’ll really start kicking goals. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Are you doing all the giving, and others all the taking? If you allow people to walk all over you, that’s exactly what they’ll do. Sort out your personal boundaries Libra — and stick to them. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be cautious about what you tell a family member or work colleague. Otherwise you may say too much or make a promise you can’t keep. With a little discretion, you’ll have a good day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your

loose tongue could get you into trouble today Sagittarius — especially if you gossip up a storm. Don’t overdo it — if you pass on unverified news, you could end up in hot water. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may become impatient with someone’s lack of initiative but today’s not the time to push buttons. Concentrate your attention on positive people, and focus on smart solutions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid getting carried away and talking up projects — especially work ones — until you’ve laid the groundwork. It’s a fabulous day to exercise your brain cells and learn something new. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When it comes to work, make alterations that allow you to be more creative and independent. Perhaps you can change your professional routine or initiate a challenging new project? Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist.

Refracted sun rays from Nutella jar caused house fire, London firefighters say London’s firefighters say sun rays refracted by a Nutella jar likely caused a house fire. The city’s fire brigade says investigators believe the glass jar — which had been emptied of the hazelnut spread — had been placed on a window sill and refracted sunlight, setting blinds alight. According to a statement posted Tuesday by the brigade, the family was not at home but the blaze killed a dog. Fire investigator Charlie Pugsley said: “It sounds far-fetched that a jar containing a few rubber bands caused a severe house fire but that’s exactly what happened.” The fire happened Feb. 15 in southwest London.

support. By refusing, you are only hurting him. Carol won’t care whether you are there or not. We agree that she is behaving terribly, but it serves no purpose to rile up your husband by emphasizing Carol’s mistreatment and selfishness. It won’t change her. It will only make your husband more unhappy. Please go with him and let him deal with Carol as he chooses. Dear Annie: I am eight months pregnant. It floors me how many friends say, “Wow, you’re getting so big” every time I see them. Recently, I overheard someone tell a pregnant woman, “You look a lot bigger than with your last one.” Most women I know are not thrilled about gaining weight, even during pregnancy, and it is easy to be self-conscious about our changing shape. We don’t need such insensitive comments. I know these people aren’t trying to be hurtful, but who wants to be told they’re huge? If it can’t pass as a compliment, please keep it to yourself. — Pregnant Not Fat Dear Pregnant: People somehow can’t help themselves. They speak before their brains are

Dear Annie: My husband’s sister controlled his mother’s finances. “Carol” paid the nursing home with her mother’s credit card and gained reward points, which she used for vacations while Mom was still alive. My husband was the one who handled doctor visits, brought Mom to our home for dinner and did all of the necessary errands. MITCHELL Carol told me & SUGAR she would not care for Mom if her money ran out. When Mom died, she left a small estate that took Carol over a year to distribute, and she kept a few thousand dollars in a separate account. Carol recently announced that she is going to have a memorial for Mom, and we would rent a nice cottage on a lake so we could scatter Mom’s ashes

SULLIVAN, Michael July 16/1960 - Mar. 2/2013 They say “Nothing Lasts Forever”, but that is wrong. The memories we keep of you, we will never let go, they will be forever. The time we had together you filled our lives with so much. You tickled us and raised our spirits when we needed it most. You made us laugh and cry and “think” and look at life through your eyes. You challenged our minds to think deeper about people less fortunate than us. You shocked our complacency and through your thinking and acting you shared a piece of your soul. Your hard work, dedication to detail, and innovative ideas to survive, to help others and us, are alive and well. We continue to carry on your support of others and to honor you, from the spark and inspiration you gave us all. We will be Forever Grateful. “Why fit in when you were Born to Stand Out” In the Arms of the Angels May you Find Perfect Peace. Love forever and ever, Mom, Michelle, Murray, Mikasa, Mitaya, Taylor and Presley

30,000 RALLY TO MOURN SLAIN PUTIN FOE WHILE OPPOSITION BLAMES KREMLIN FOR KILLING BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — For the tens of thousands bearing flowers and tying black ribbons to railings in honour of slain Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, the solemn march through the Moscow drizzle on Sunday was a time for silence, not slogans. The marchers occasionally broke into chants of “Russia without Putin,” or “Say no to war,” but often the only sound was the steady thwack of police helicopters overhead or the hum of police boats patrolling the shores of the Moscow River. While the killing of Nemtsov has shaken the Russian opposition, which sees the Kremlin as responsible, it is unclear whether his death will be enough to invigorate the beleaguered movement. Despite the Ukraine conflict and Russia’s economic crisis, support for President Vladimir Putin has been above 80 per cent in the past year. Since mass anti-Putin protests brought hundreds of thousands to the streets of Moscow in 2011 and 2012, Putin has marginalized and intimidated his political opponents, jailing some, driving others into exile, and ramping up fines and potential jail time for those detained at protests. The 55-year-old Nemtsov was among the few prominent opposition figures who refused to be cowed. But while many at the march expressed respect for his long political career and grief at his loss, few believed that his death would spark major change in Russia because of the Kremlin’s control over national television, where a vast majority of Russians get their news. “Maybe if 100 people were to die people would rise up, but I don’t really believe in that,” said Sergei Musakov, 22. “People are so under the influence of the (TV) box that they will believe anything that television tells them. If it tells them that terrorists from the Islamic State group came to Russia in order to blow up the fifth column, they’ll believe it.” The Kremlin had identified Nemtsov as among the leaders of a “fifth column,” painting him and other opposi-

People carry Russian national flags during a march in memory of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov who was gunned down on Friday, near the Kremlin, with The Kremlin Wall and St. Basil Cathedral in the background, in Moscow, Russia, Sunday. Thousands converged Sunday in central Moscow to mourn veteran liberal politician Boris Nemtsov, whose killing on the streets of the capital has shaken Russia’s beleaguered opposition. tion figures as traitors in the service of a hostile West. About 30,000 people attended the march, making it the largest opposition rally in more than a year. The demonstrators bore Russian flags and signs that read “I am not afraid” or “Propaganda kills.” At the site where Nemtsov was killed, a pile of flowers grew by the minute, as mourners tossed down bouquets of every colour. Nemtsov was gunned down shortly before midnight Friday as he walked across a bridge near the Kremlin. The killing came just hours after a radio interview in which he denounced Putin’s “mad, aggressive policy” in Ukraine. At the time of his death, Nemtsov was working on a report that he believed proved that Russian troops were fighting alongside the separatists in Ukraine, despite the official denials. No one has been arrested in the killing. Investigators said they were looking into several possible motives and

have offered 3 million rubles (nearly $50,000) for information about the shooting. TV Center, a station controlled by the Moscow city government, broadcast a poor-resolution video from one of its web cameras that it said shows Nemtsov and his date shortly before the killing. The station, which superimposed its own time code on the footage, circled figures that it said were Nemtsov and the woman walking across the bridge on a rainy night. A snowplow that moved slowly behind the couple obscured the view of the shooting. TV Center then circled what it said was the suspected killer jumping into a passing car. The authenticity of the video could not be independently confirmed. Investigators said Sunday they were again questioning the woman, Ukrainian citizen Anna Duritskaya. Russian media have identified her as a model

and shown photos of her in alluring poses. Fellow opposition activists said they hoped Nemtsov’s death would encourage people to take action, rather than intimidate them. “Essentially it is an act of terror,” said Ilya Yashin, an opposition leader and friend. “It is a political murder aimed at frightening the population, or the part of the population that supported Nemtsov or did not agree with the government. I hope we won’t get scared, that we will continue what Boris was doing.” Mikhail Kasyanov, a former prime minister who joined the opposition, told the crowd the killing should be a turning point for Russia “for the simple reason that people who before thought that they could quietly sit in their kitchens and simply discuss problems within the family, now will start reconsidering everything that’s going on in our country.”

Ultimatum offered for Sunni fighters ahead of hinted Tikrit offensive BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime minister called on Sunni tribal fighters to abandon the Islamic State group Sunday, ahead of a promised offensive to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown from the extremists. Haider al-Abadi offered no timeline for an attack on Tikrit, the hometown of the late Iraqi dictator some 130 kilometres (80 miles) north of Baghdad that fell into the hands of the Islamic State group last summer. However, Shiite militias and Iraqi security forces have stationed themselves around Tikrit as state-run media has warned that the city “will soon return to its people.” But sending Shiite militias into the Sunni city of Tikrit, the capital of Iraq’s Salahuddin province, could reprise the bloody, street-by-street insurgent battles that followed the 2003 U.S.led invasion of Iraq. On Saturday, two

suicide car bombers killed 16 nearby Shiite militiamen and wounded 31. Al-Abadi offered what he called “the last chance” for Sunni tribal fighters, promising them a pardon during a news conference in Samarra, 95 kilometres (60 miles) north of Baghdad. His office said he arrived in Samarra to “supervise the operation to liberate Tikrit from the terrorist gangs.” “I call upon those who have been misled or committed a mistake to lay down arms and join their people and security forces in order to liberate their cities,” al-Abadi said. Al-Abadi said the operation will see troops come from several directions, but he declined to give an exact time for the operation’s start. However, his presence in Samarra suggests it could come soon. The Iraqi military previously launched an operation in late June to try to wrest back control of Tikrit, but that quickly stalled after making little

headway. Other planned offensives by Iraq’s military, which collapsed under the initial Islamic State group blitz, also have failed to make up ground, though soldiers have taken back the nearby refinery town of Beiji, backed by airstrikes from a U.S.-led coalition. Tikrit, which occasionally saw attacks on U.S. forces during the American occupation of the country, is one of the biggest cities held by the Islamic State group. It also sits on the road to Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, which is also held by the extremists. Any operation to take Mosul likely would require Iraq to seize Tikrit first. Al-Abadi’s comments appear to be targeting former members of Iraq’s outlawed Baath party, loyalists to Saddam Hussein, who joined the Islamic State group during its offensive, as well as other Sunnis who were dissatisfied with Baghdad’s Shiite-led government.

The premier likely hopes to peel away some support from the Islamic State group, especially as Iraqis grow increasingly horrified by the extremists’ mass killings and other atrocities. In February alone, violence across Iraq killed at least 1,100 Iraqis, including more than 600 civilians, the U.N. Assistance Mission in Iraq said Sunday. U.N. envoy Nickolay Mladenov blamed the deaths on the extremist group, government forces and pro-government Shiite militias. “Daily terrorist attacks perpetrated by ISIL continue to deliberately target all Iraqis,” Mladenov said. “There are also concerning reports of a number of revenge killings by armed groups in areas recently liberated from ISIL.” Last year was the deadliest in Iraq since its 2006-2007 sectarian bloodshed, with a total of 12,282 people killed and 23,126 wounded, according to the U.N.

Northerners debate uranium mine and caribou effects BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BAKER LAKE, Nunavut — Hilu Tagoona was just a girl the first time uranium miners proposed to develop a massive deposit of the radioactive metal near her home town of Baker Lake, Nunavut. “I was about 11,” she says. “I spent many an hour listening to (presentations), spending time at the hearings.” Now, at 37, she’s about to relive her childhood as final hearings begin Monday before the Nunavut Impact Review Board on a second proposal to eventually build a mine on the tundra. As a spokeswoman for the anti-uranium group Makitagunarningit, her opinion on it hasn’t changed. “Our big concern is the caribou and their calving grounds.” French nuclear giant Areva is proposing to build one underground and four open-pit mines just west of Baker Lake, on the edge of the calving grounds of one of the North’s great caribou herds and near the largest and most remote wildlife sanctuary on the continent. The $2.1 billion project would provide at least 400 jobs, many reserved for local Inuit. Its annual payroll would be $200 million for at least 17 years. Areva has been considering the project since at least 1997. Its current plans have been before the regulator since 2007. “We believe we’ve got a very good environmental assessment,” said Areva spokesman Barry McCal-

lum. “We’re looking forward to participating in the hearings.” Areva’s plans would empty part of a lake, build a road through the habitat of a declining caribou herd and stretch a bridge across a Canadian heritage river. Planes loaded with radioactive concentrate would take off from its airstrip and barges with the same cargo would leave from its dock on Baker Lake. The road and mill that it proposes would make it easier for other mines to open. Those deposits are on calving grounds for caribou that aboriginals in three provinces and two territories depend on. At the very least, some protections should be created for the calving grounds in advance of any industrial development being approved for the area, said Tagoona. “The construction of this mine will make it so much more feasible for other mines to open,” she said. “There are no proper protective measures at this point for caribou, or a plan in place.” And critics worry about Areva’s acknowledgment that uranium prices are currently so low that it could be up to two decades before construction of the mine actually begins. “They cannot approve this and wait 20 years,” said Tagoona. “That’s not reasonable whatsoever. Everything will have changed.” The Kivalliq Wildlife Board, which manages wildlife in the region under the Nunavut Land Claim, says it’s “firmly opposed” to Kiggavik until protections for the calving ground are in place and Areva commits to a start date.

Ryan Barry, director of the review board, said it’s unusual for a company to admit they don’t plan to start an approved project anytime soon. But he suggested those concerns could be addressed by adding conditions forcing Areva to revisit parts of its environmental assessment if the delay is too long. “There’s a lot you can do with recommendations,” he said. “There is the ability to put some restrictions in place.” McCallum said Areva has been working with the community for years, opening an office in Baker Lake and flying residents to its uranium mines in northern Saskatchewan, where it has set up meetings with local aboriginals. “I definitely think we’ve had some success,” he said. “Questions are answered honestly and openly.” But there’s so much at stake. The area caribou harvest has been valued at $20 million a year, at a time when northerners are more concerned than every about high food prices. And there are so many unknowns — the effects of the mine itself, the amount of development that follows along the road it builds, the state of the herds and the environment by the time the project actually begins. Tagoona hopes that after the next two weeks of hearings that history will repeat itself. “I have some recollection of the first fight and our success in that,” she said. “I think that this will be a never-ending battle, but if we stave it once again, that would be a success for us.”

Spacewalking astronauts finish tricky cable job BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts successfully completed a three-day cable job outside the International Space Station on Sunday, routing several-hundred feet of power and data lines for new crew capsules commissioned by NASA. It was the third spacewalk in just over a week for Americans Terry Virts and Butch Wilmore, and the quickest succession of spacewalks since NASA’s former shuttle days. The advance work was needed for the manned spacecraft under development by Boeing and SpaceX. A pair of docking ports will fly up later this year, followed by the capsules themselves, with astronauts aboard, in 2017. Once safely back inside, Virts reported a bit of water in his helmet again for the second time in as many spacewalks. He stressed it was “not a big deal” and said there was no need to hurry out of his suit. Virts and Wilmore installed two sets of antennas Sunday, as well as 400 feet (122 metres) of cable for this new communication system. They unreeled 364 feet (111 metres) of cable on Feb. 21 and last Wednesday. It was complicated, hand-intensive work, yet the astronauts managed to wrap up more than an hour early Sunday, for a 5 ½-hour spacewalk. Their three outings spanned 19 hours. “You guys have done an outstanding job,” Mission Control radioed, “even for two shuttle pilots.” Sunday’s 260-mile (418-kilometre)-high action unfolded 50 years to the month of the world’s first spacewalk. Soviet Alexei Leonov floated out into the vacuum of space on March 18, 1965, beating America’s first

spacewalker, Gemini 4’s Edward White II, by just 2 ½ months. Leonov is now 80; White died in the Apollo 1 fire on the launch pad in 1967. “It’s amazing ... to see how far we’ve come from the very first steps outside,” Virts said. On Sunday — just like Wednesday — a little water got into Virts’ helmet once he was back in the air lock and the chamber was being repressurized. Virts said it seemed to be about the same amount of water, maybe slightly more, but dried quickly. He didn’t need any towels this time when his helmet came off. “I couldn’t feel it on my skin. I could just see the thin film on the visor,” he told Mission Control. Engineers concluded last week it was the result of condensation during the repressurization of the air lock, and a safe and well understood circumstance that had occurred several times before with the same spacesuit. Virts was never in danger either day, according to NASA, and no water leaked into his helmet while he was outdoors. Wilmore’s much newer suit functioned perfectly during the first two spacewalks, but on Sunday morning, a pressure sensor briefly malfunctioned before he floated out. A mechanical gauge, however, was operating fine. Mission Control instructed Wilmore to pay extra attention to how his suit was feeling. Wilmore is due to return to Earth next week following a 5 ½-month mission. Virts is midway through his expedition. Russian Soyuz spacecraft carried them both up, with NASA paying for the multimillion-dollar rides. To save money and stop being so reliant on the Russian Space Agency, NASA has hired Boeing and SpaceX to develop spacecraft capable of transporting astronauts to the space station. The two contracts

Still many questions about e-cigarettes BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The first peek at a major study of how Americans smoke suggests many use combinations of products, and often e-cigarettes are part of the mix. It’s a preliminary finding, but it highlights some key questions as health officials assess electronic cigarettes. “Are e-cigarettes a step toward a cigarette smoker getting off of cigarettes? Or are e-cigarettes a crutch so they can get nicotine in places and times when they wouldn’t normally be allowed to smoke cigarettes?” asked Dr. Andrew Hyland of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the primary investigator for a huge government study of trends in smoking and tobacco use. Hyland’s study is one of a number of projects that scientists are watching as they explore the public health implications of e-cigarettes. Here are some things to know:

MULTIPLE SOURCES OF NICOTINE

At a meeting of nicotine researchers late Thursday, Hyland presented preliminary findings from the first 20,000 people to enrol in the study, a baseline as the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health track how use of tobacco products, or alternatives like tobacco-free e-cigarettes, is evolving. A fraction — 28 per cent of adults and nearly 9 per cent of youths — reported they currently use any type of tobacco product, Hyland said. About 40 per cent of those current tobacco users report using two or more products. And half say battery-powered e-cigarettes are one of the multiple products they use, Hyland found. In fact, the most common combination was cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said the early findings showing use of more than one type of tobacco product are compelling and underscore “how popular e-cigarettes have become.” Ultimately, the PATH study — it stands for Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health — will follow 46,000 people ages 12 and older over five years, a source of information as FDA decides how to regulate tobacco-related products.

WHY THE EXTRA INTEREST IN E-CIGARETTES?

Policymakers are debating the health effects of “vaping” as it grows in popularity. Many anti-smoking advocates consider e-cigarettes a safer alternative for smokers who can’t or don’t want to quit altogether. E-cigarettes work by heating liquid nicotine into an inhalable vapour. They contain fewer toxic substances than burning traditional cigarettes. But health officials warn that they shouldn’t be considered harmless and say much more needs to be known

A patron exhales vapor from an e-cigarette at the Henley Vaporium in New York. The first peek at a major study of how Americans smoke suggests many use combinations of products, and often e-cigarettes are part of the mix. It’s a preliminary finding, but it highlights some key questions as health officials assess electronic cigarettes. about long-term effects. Critics ask if they keep smokers addicted or even act as a gateway to hook new users who eventually try tobacco.

including banning sales to minors, a step that many states already have taken.

ADULTS VS. KIDS

No one knows if experimenting with e-cigarettes poses as much risk of hooking someone as experimenting with regular cigarettes, Compton said. Nicotine levels vary widely by type of e-cigarette, from small amounts to nearly as much as a traditional cigarette, he said. Users learn to puff a bit differently as they draw in vapour, and even the voltage in the device’s wires may affect nicotine delivery, he explained. NIDA plans to fund development of what Compton calls a “standard e-cigarette” that will be a yardstick for comparison with the different e-cigarettes on the market.

Concern about e-cigarettes grew after a different government study in December found some teens who’d never smoked a real cigarette were trying out the electronic kind. “Is it a passing fancy or something that sticks with them?” Dr. Wilson Compton, deputy director of NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, said in an interview with The Associated Press. He hopes that over the next few years, the new PATH study will help tell. The FDA has proposed regulating e-cigarettes,

BRIEF Company blames heat for why nasal spray flu vaccine didn’t work well in kids against swine flu ATLANTA — The makers of the nasal spray version of the flu vaccine say now they know why it has failed to protect young U.S. children against swine flu — fragile doses got too warm. The AstraZeneca FluMist vaccine works well for most flu strains, but small studies found it didn’t work very well against the swine flu bug that first emerged in 2009. Swine flu has returned each year since but wasn’t a big player this flu season. The problem first came to light last year, when swine flu was behind most illnesses. At a medical meeting Thursday, company officials said they investigated and concluded that the swine flu part of the vaccine is unusually sensitive to heat. Flu vaccine is refrigerated, but it is allowed to be out at room temperature for up to two hours during distribution. The doses out on hot days were least effective, and company officials say it’s because they degraded and lost potency. The company plans to use a more stable strain in the future. FluMist is made using live but weakened virus, and is only approved for ages 2 to 49. Flu shots, made from killed virus, do not appear to be as vulnerable to heat, experts say. In June, a federal scientific panel — the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — took the unusual step of advising doctors to give FluMist to healthy young kids instead of a shot, if available. For years, studies have indicated the nasal spray is the better choice for young children because it prompts a stronger immune response in kids who have never been sick with the flu.
