First major roundabout on its way
BEACH PARTY
CONSTRUCTION LIKELY TO START NEXT MONTH BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Construction will likely begin on the city’s first major roundabout at 30th Avenue and 67th Street in late May. But it won’t be fully connected to those busy roads until summer 2016. “It’s going to be the first multi-lane roundabout like this in Central Alberta so we’re aware it’s going to be new for people. But we think it’s going to work well and we’ll try and make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible before they have to use it. Hopefully they’ll agree with us,” said Cory Edinga, city project engineer, who was fielding questions on the roundabout at the city’s Let’s Talk event held Saturday at Bower Place. One focus of the education campaign will explain the difference between a roundabout and a traffic circle. Edinga said unlike a traffic circle, a roundabout doesn’t require possible lane changes while driving in the circle. “In a roundabout, it’s like any other intersection. You get into the appropriate lane before you get to the roundabout. You don’t actually have to change lanes. You just follow the lane and exit where you want to exit.” He said roundabouts are proven to reduce the severity of collisions compared to signalized intersections because the tight circles require slower speeds and collisions are often side-swipes.

Adapted recreation programs Disappointment with government now available in Red Deer led Prentice back BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF
to public life
Adapted recreation programs geared to children with developmental delays are now available through the City of Red Deer. The groundwork began about a year ago when parents with the local chapter of the Alberta Autism Society approached the city for a swim program. By January, four children were part of a six-week adapted aquatic class at G. H. Dawe Community Centre. This spring adapted classes are available for T-ball, basketball, parent and tot yoga, a pre-school play group, along with more swimming and summer camps. Jackie Muddle said her son Chase, 6, has heightened senses and all the splashing and activity in a typical swim class was over stimulating. “He couldn’t concentrate on learning how to swim when there was so much going around,” said Muddle, of Red Deer. The adapted aquatic program at G. H. Dawe had fewer children, skills were broken down for easier learning, and a schedule using pictures helped to communicate with the young swimmers. “A lot of the kids learn best visually. They don’t learn as well through hearing so having a visual schedule helps to communicate better, especially if the child is non-verbal. It’s comforting them too because they know what’s coming. It kind of helps to reduce the anxiety,” Muddle said. Instructors understand the stress children may experience and how they may react and work with them to get them back on track, she said. “These kids when they have sensory issues, it’s just overwhelming to put your face in the water, never mind blowing bubbles.” Three swimming instructors at G. H. Dawe have been trained to teach adapted classes. Come fall, the six-week swim class will be extended to 12 weeks. “It’s great that they’re included in the programming because it’s such a life-saving skill,” said Denise Papineau, with the Dawe aquatic program.

Siblings were also able to participate in the adapted swim program which is open to all children. All the city’s recreation programs, including adapted, are inclusive. “It’s all about inclusion. We want everyone to participate in it,” Papineau said. Red Deer parent Jessica Schurman said her daughter Matea, 6, became more comfortable in the water, had fun, and made a new friend. “She learned some new songs. And she started to dive under the water. That’s something she typically hadn’t done before. She learned the skills to go all the way under the water and open her eyes looking for different objects so that was really big for us,” Schurman said.
MAYCROFT — Jim Prentice says it was disappointment with previous Progressive Conservative administrations in Alberta that ultimately led him to re-enter public life. The incumbent Tory premier didn’t mention any of his predecessors by name in an interview with the Canadian Press as his campaign bus rolled through southern Alberta last week. But he made it clear his concern wasn’t limited to former premier Alison Redford, who resigned after her government was rocked by a series of spending scandals. “I was disappointed by what I was seeing in our government over the last several years before I ran,” Prentice said. “Albertans were disappointed and so was I.” Prentice is the seventh person to serve as premier since the Progressive Conservatives took power in 1971. He will attempt to extend that four-decade dynasty May 5, having just brought down a budget that hikes taxes for the first time in years and runs a record $5 billion deficit. He pitched his plan as an attempt to get the province off the roller-coaster of oil prices that has dictated the government’s fiscal fate in years past. Prentice was asked if he felt any anger towards his predecessors, particularly Redford and the controversies that surrounded her use of government aircraft. “Yeah, I was very concerned, the same way all Albertans were concerned,” he said. “I was concerned about what was going on with the airplanes and everything else, and so we were all disappointed and clearly our province was headed in the wrong direction and it was time to set things right and that is why I ran.”

First Nations languages part of global study on how kids learn mother tongue Three indigenous languages still spoken in Canada are among a group being studied as researchers attempt to understand how children around the world learn their vastly different mother tongues. The global project — spearheaded by the University of Zurich — is looking at Dene, East Cree, and Inuktitut among 10 languages. Researchers already know that children have little problem learning to speak their native language. What’s not well understood is exactly how this happens. “We’re trying to get a real sense of how children can acquire or learn any language in the world,” Dagmar Jung, a senior researcher from the University of Zurich. “It’s a miracle that any child can actually learn any language it’s exposed to when it’s young.” As part of the study, Jung and Olga Lovick, an associate linguistics professor at the First Nations University of Canada, were heading to the Clearwater River Dene Nation in northern Saskatchewan on Sunday. It’s one of only three places in the world where children grow up speaking Dene. About 7,000 languages are spoken around the world but most research to date has focused on the structurally similar large European languages.

ROUNDABOUT: Primary considerations He said pretty much any community in North America now is considering roundabouts as one of the primary considerations for intersections. “What people have found, and this is from all over the States, from Europe, from Eastern Canada, is that they perform really well compared to signalized intersections.” Roundabouts keep traffic flowing and in the growing northeast sector of the city, it will adapt to traffic patterns as traffic networks change in the area, he said. “We needed a traffic solution because one of the most congested areas in the city right now is 30th Avenue and 67th Street. We needed a different solution to keep the traffic moving. Right now there are too many lights in a concentrated area,” said Mayor Tara Veer. She said several solutions were considered, including traffic lights, fly-overs and different ways to configure that intersection. “We know there are mixed views on roundabouts in the community. Both Sylvan Lake and Red Deer County have had strong success with the roundabouts they’ve put in recently. So we’re going to try it in Red Deer and see how our community responds to it.” Construction of Red Deer’s roundabout, connecting roads, and underground utilities will cost about $17 million. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

She said having an instructor and class that can adapt to the unique needs of children really helped her daughter. “(Matea) likes to do her own thing. She likes to be on her own schedule and they were really, really accepting of her. There was no, ‘you have to get over here and you have to do this.’” Both Matea’s mother and father joined her in the water, which is encouraged in adapted classes. At the first adapted Little Chefs class, held on Saturday at G. H. Dawe, children, used dough, tomato sauce, cheese and other fixings to make pizza pinwheels.

NDP questions dialysis disposal BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s NDP is accusing the province of pinching pennies by relaxing rules for the disposal of dialysis equipment. The party released what it claims is a leaked Alberta Health Services presentation that outlines a decision to reclassify dialysis waste as general rather than biomedical waste. The party says the policy change affects blood-filled tubes and containers, and says it was made without consideration of the effect on patient and employee safety. Alberta Health Services spokeswoman Shelly Willsey says in an email that the disposal of dialysis equipment that no longer contains blood or needles into general waste is safe and complies with CSA standards. Willsey says items containing blood continue to be disposed of as biomedical waste.
David Eggen, who is seeking re-election for the NDP in Edmonton-Calder, says the policy calls for disposal of dialysis equipment in “robust” garbage bags. “Albertans want to have the highest standard of safety and security in our public health system and going for the lowest common denominator, this bargain basement version, is an indication of things to come if this PC government gets the majority they so seek,” Eggen said in an interview Saturday. The Alberta Health Services presentation that was supplied by the NDP states as long as there are “no sharps attached or dripping blood,” dialysis waste should be disposed of as general waste. The presentation says the change affects the province’s northern zone, and will make the policy consistent with the one that’s currently in use for the central region. The Guidelines for the Management of Biomedical Waste in Canada,
GET SOME AIR
a document produced by the Canadian Council for Ministers of the Environment in 1992, notes that dialysis waste, including tubing, filters, towels and disposable sheets, is acceptable for disposal as general waste. The document notes that while any item that has had contact with blood may be a hazard, “it is not usually considered practical or necessary to treat all such waste as biomedical waste.” Other items on the document’s list as acceptable for general waste include soiled dressings, sponges, specimen containers, surgical drapes and catheters. Photos that the NDP says were supplied by healthcare workers show tubes with pinkish liquid inside them. “We know that there is blood that is in the systems, and it puts a further strain on the disposal of biomedical waste,” Eggen said. Alberta’s auditor general, Merwan Saher, recommended in a report in 2012 that the province should pur-
sue more opportunities to reduce the amount of materials that were entering the healthcare waste stream. Saher suggested that some general waste was going into healthcare waste, and that it was pricey for taxpayers. “Depending on volumes, such practices could result in significantly higher disposal costs because the cost of healthcare waste disposal is approximately 10 times the cost of general waste disposal,” Saher wrote in his report. Mike Storeshaw, a Progressive Conservative campaign spokesman, said other Canadian jurisdictions also follow guidelines that classify dialysis materials as general waste. “I don’t think it’s helpful for the NDP to scaremonger about the safety of medical waste,” Storeshaw wrote in an email. “This is in fact a good example of where money can be saved in the health system while preserving patient safety and care.”

The decision has left students from across the province who would have attended the event next weekend in Edmonton disappointed and frustrated. Students registered for the conference found out Thursday it was cancelled “due to unforeseen circumstances.” Jacob Dunn, a grade 10 student who was registered to attend the conference, says the students weren’t given a reason for the cancellation, despite several phone calls and emails to Alberta Education. “We felt that this conference would have helped support our voice and given youth a bigger say in the future of our province,” Dunn said Sunday. “A lot of youth in these rural communities never get the chance to do this. They have a small leadership program, they have very few opportunities to get involved, and this conference was supposed to help that.” About 240 students and 60 chaperones were scheduled to attend the conference.

NDP candidate drops out of race after altercation while campaigning MEDICINE HAT— Alberta’s NDP says one of its candidates has withdrawn his candidacy after an altercation that happened while campaigning. The party says in a news release that Jason Soklofske, who is the NDP candidate for Medicine Hat, has been charged with simple assault following the incident. The release says the altercation was with another individual on Saturday, but doesn’t give details. Cheryl Oates, a campaign spokeswoman for the NDP, wouldn’t elaborate on the incident. The release says the NDP has accepted Soklofske’s decision to withdraw. It says the party will announce a new candidate for Medicine Hat in the coming days.
Teens disappointed their education conference won’t happen due to vote EDMONTON — A spokeswoman with Alberta Education says an annual youth conference has been cancelled because of the upcoming provincial election. Tamara Magnan says the Speak Out conference, which gives high school students an opportunity to discuss education-related topics, would be defined as a public consultation. Magnan says ministries shouldn’t be doing public consultations during an election period, so as not to be seen as influencing the election process.
Police say Edmonton man beaten in front of family was likely wrongfully targeted EDMONTON — Investigators in Edmonton believe a man who was beaten and threatened at gunpoint in front of his wife and four children was wrongfully targeted. Police say the 36-year-old was confronted Friday night outside his home by a group of males wearing masks when he went outside to check his vehicle. Police say the suspects allegedly beat him and dragged him into his house, where one of them then assaulted his wife, who was holding their toddler. The other children, who were roused from their beds and saw the attacks, fled through the back door, and police say that’s when the suspects fled.

Greed trumps ethics, need OILING THE MACHINERY OF CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL AND TRANSIT OPPOSITION Brothers Charles and David Koch run Koch Industries, the second-largest privately owned company in the U.S., behind Cargill. They’ve given close to US$70 million to climate change denial front groups, some of which they helped start, including Americans for Prosperity, founded by David Koch and a major force behind the Tea Party movement. Through their companies, the DAVID Kochs are the SUZUKI largest U.S. leaseholder in the Alberta oilsands. They’ve provided funding to Canada’s pro-oil Fraser Institute and are known to fuel the Agenda 21 conspiracy theory, which claims a 1992 UN non-binding sustainable development proposal is a plot to remove property rights and other freedoms. Researchers reveal they’re also behind many anti-transit initiatives in the U.S., in cities and states including Nashville, Indianapolis, Boston, Virginia, Florida and Los Angeles. They
SCIENCE
spend large amounts of money on campaigns to discredit climate science and the need to reduce greenhouse gases, and they fund sympathetic politicians. In late January, 50 U.S. anti-government and pro-oil groups — including some tied to the Kochs and the pro-oil, pro-tobacco Heartland Institute — sent Congress a letter opposing a gas tax increase that would help fund public transit, in part because “Washington continues to spend federal dollars on projects that have nothing to do with roads like bike paths and transit.” The letter says “transportation infrastructure has a spending problem, not a revenue problem,” an argument similar to one used by opponents of the transportation plan Metro Vancouver residents are voting on. Vancouver’s anti-transit campaign is led by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation — a group that doesn’t reveal its funding sources and is on record as denying the existence of human-caused climate change — along with Hamish Marshall, a conservative strategist with ties to Ethical Oil. American and Canadian transit opponents paint themselves as populist supporters of the common people, a tactic also used against carbon pricing. Marshall told Business in Vancouver, “I love the idea of working on a campaign where we can stand up for the little guy.” The U.S. letter claims the
gas tax increase “would disproportionately hurt lower income Americans already hurt by trying times in our economy.” Both fail to note that poor and middle class families will benefit most from public transit and other sustainable transportation options. Although many organizations that promote the fossil fuel industry and reject the need to address climate change — including the Heartland Institute, International Climate Science Coalition, Ethical Oil and Friends of Science — are secretive about their funding sources, a bit of digging often turns up oil, gas and coal money, often from the Kochs in the U.S. And most of their claims are easily debunked. In the case of the U.S. Heartland Institute, arguments stray into the absurd, like comparing climate researchers and those who accept the science to terrorists and murderers like the Unabomber and Charles Manson! In some ways, it’s understandable why fossil fuel advocates would reject clean energy, conservation and sustainable transportation. Business people protect their interests — which isn’t necessarily bad. But anything that encourages people to drive less and conserve energy cuts into the fossil fuel industry’s massive profits. It’s unfortunate that greed trumps the ethical need to reduce pollution, limit climate change and con-
serve non-renewable resources. It’s also poor economic strategy on a societal level. Besides contributing to pollution and global warming, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly difficult, dangerous and expensive to exploit as easily accessible sources are depleted — and markets are volatile, as we’ve recently seen. It’s crazy to go on wastefully burning these precious resources when they can be used more wisely, and when we have better options. Clean energy technology, transit improvements and conservation also create more jobs and economic activity and contribute to greater well-being and a more stable economy than fossil fuel industries. To reduce pollution and address global warming, we must do everything we can, from conserving energy to shifting to cleaner energy sources. Improving transportation and transit infrastructure is one of the easiest ways to do so while providing more options for people to get around. Those who profit from our continued reliance on fossil fuels will do what they can to convince us to stay on their expensive, destructive road. It’s up to all of us to help change course.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Adding more meat inspectors won’t ensure safe products, but consumers can play a role I was prompted to write this letter in response to articles published in the Red Deer Advocate on April 1 (Meat inspection shortage putting consumers at risk) and April 2 (Canadian Food Inspection Agency defends food safety). The first, from the agriculture union, intimated the possibility of consumer death from unsafe meat produced in uninspected meat processing facilities. The second, a response from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), was more sensible in documenting the adequacy of current federal inspection practices. Researchers, the meat processing sector and the CFIA have collaborated to develop and evaluate meat processing protocols that utilize critical control points to insure the safety of meat products. There is a minimum of inspection staff necessary to assure processes are in control and the addition of more inspectors would do nothing to improve the safety of meats. I would argue that none of the incidents of meatborne illness occurring in Canada over the last 10 years could have been prevented by increasing the number of inspectors on the processing lines in federally-inspected plants. Despite the lack of evidence for a direct correlation between the actual number of inspectors and meat safety, when there is an outbreak of meat-associated illness the public panics and the government responds by infusing millions of dollars into recruiting additional inspectors. This, of course, is without effect and incidents of illness due to pathogens in meats continue to occur. Irrespective of rigorous inspection procedures, by the time raw meats reach the consumer they are liberally contaminated with bacteria. Some of these bacteria are pathogenic (e.g. E. coli O157:H7) and could pose a risk to human health. Armed with appropriate tools, knowledge and sufficient time, one could isolate pathogens from any raw meat processing facility. We know they are present but the more critical issue is their origin and fate during the meat production continuum. Most importantly, how do those human pathogens grow to a level that produces illness when meat is consumed? This requires a basic understanding of the behaviour of bacterial pathogens in meat production systems from pasture to plate. Further to this, one must consider the role of the consumer in the equation. Published data on origins of food-borne illness in Canada have well established that the major cause is mishandling during food service (i.e. restaurants, caterers) and in the home; usually due to improper heating and cooling, and cross contamination. Thus, to be efficacious in preventing illness due to meat-borne bacteria, monies would be better targeted to improve training for food service employees and educating consumers. The current practice of increasing the numbers of meat processing inspectors is not cost-effective and consumers must begin taking some responsibility. Although one might think that consumer education is an impossible task, we can take an example from the poultry processing sector. It is well known that most chickens contain human pathogens (e.g. salmonella) and anyone with a modicum of intelligence takes appropriate measures to prevent cross contamination during food preparation and avoids

I got 31 people to sign a petition that they would help save animals and be good to our planet. I am only in Grade 2 but I think we could do a better job of looking after our world. We could conserve energy, which would help with pollution by turning off the lights when we leave a room. We could plant more trees. We could walk more instead of driving in cars. I think if we did more things outside then we would like nature more. I like to climb trees but you have to be careful. Don’t climb old trees or they might break. We could also help the animals by not bothering the animals where they live. We could also just take from nature what we need,

Unearthed artifacts tell pre-Confederation story BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Photos by THE CANADIAN PRESS
A toothbrush, clockwise from left, lice comb, ointment pot and opium bottle that date back to the early 19th century are displayed by archeologist Nadine Kopp on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Friday, April 10, 2015. The sites dating back to the early 19th century were found during the ongoing Parliament Hill restoration project. Tens of thousands of objects were excavated with most of them coming from a ‘Midden’ (dump site) at an officers barracks. “It was all part of their dinner that they would have enjoyed, and the advantage they would have had as officers because the rank-and-file of the military weren’t allowed to drink on site.” Sifting through the dirt also gave the archaeolo-
gists a sense of the diet of these officers. There were many butchered cow, sheep and pig bones, but also fish and game they caught to make their cuisine more interesting — geese, wild turkey, catfish and the now-extinct carrier pigeon.

OTTAWA — If Parliament Hill has sometimes seemed throughout its history like a boozy, maledominated powder keg, it’s worth noting that’s partly what it was built on. Recent archeological digs outside some of the main buildings in the precinct have turned up tens of thousands of artifacts from the early 19th century. They tell a story of life before Sir John A. MacDonald, before MPs and senators, and before Ottawa was even called Ottawa. Starting in 1827, the area that is now Parliament Hill was called Barrack Hill, a staging ground for the British Royal Engineers to undertake the construction of the nearby Rideau Canal. It was overseen by Lt. Col. John By — for which Bytown (now Ottawa) was named. It remained a military area until 1858, when Queen Victoria designated the site the future capital. When crews began to dig to the west and to the east of Parliament’s Centre Block last year for construction projects, they began to find evidence of that earlier incarnation. Archaeologists were called in to excavate the sites with small trowels. On the east side, near a Senate parking lot, they found evidence of the foundations of the former powder magazine. It’s believed that most of that limestone foundation structure is intact under an existing statue of Queen Elizabeth. On the other side, north of the West Block, they found something even more significant — essentially the garbage dump, or “midden,” of the former officers’ quarters. Such discoveries can tell researchers heaps about a way of life in a particular era. Nadine Kopp, a project archaeologist with the Paterson Group, oversaw the digs for the Department of Public Works. She lights up as she sifts through numbered plastic bags full of pottery shards, bits of weaponry, bottles and other treasures. “You wouldn’t typically expect to find a military site in downtown Ottawa, so it was really interesting, and really interesting that we found this intact, with all the construction that has taken place on the Hill since 1859,” Kopp said. “It’s amazing that it was still there and preserved.” The artifacts include: — A completely intact, long and thin opium bottle — a common remedy in the day for different aches and pains, as well as cholera. — Two Catholic religious medals, unusual because most of the British officers would have been Protestant — Several smoking pipes, including an unusual one engraved with a beaver and a coureur de bois. — Personal grooming tools such as a lice comb and a toothbrush. — Thousands of pieces of pottery and china imported from England. — An intact Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce bottle and a mustard jar, the kind of condiments an officer might use to spice up his food. “When you think of early Bytown, it’s often portrayed as a swamp, as a back country area, but it’s interesting to see the officers still enjoyed a gentlemanly life that was expected of them,” said Kopp, who has worked on other archeological digs on Canadian military sites. There was lots of evidence of drinking — wine bottles, beer bottles, champagne bottles, tumblers and glasses. “Officers did drink quite a bit,” she said.

Afghan president’s visit quietly scrubbed BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
ASHRAF GHANI
OTTAWA — A series of diplomatic sources say Afghanistan’s newlyelected president, Ashraf Ghani, was prepared to stop in Canada following his recent trip to Washington, but the Canadian government quietly backed away from the plan before it was finalized. Stephen Lecce, a spokesman for the prime minister’s office, denied anything official had been prepared for the new president who was elected following a closely fought campaign last year. “No visit was scheduled, however we continue to engage with the Government of Afghanistan at all levels,” he said in an email. A spokesman for Foreign Affairs, Nicolas Doire, also insisted no invitation was extended to the Afghan government. But sources — in Ottawa, Washington and Kabul — tell The Canadian Press a plan for a two-day stopover was sketched out by the Canadian embassy in Kabul and the Afghan foreign ministry, and that Ghani had “responded
positively” to the idea of a two-day trip for talks with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The proposal fell apart on — or around — March 23 when Canadian officials balked at the size of the delegation of up to 75 people — something that would have required state visitstyle preparation. Perhaps most significantly, Ghani would have been in Canada right at the height of the debate over extending the combat mission in Iraq. New Democrat defence critic Jack Harris says the visit would have been awkward for Conservatives trying to sell Canadians on a new war. “I don’t think this government wants to be reminded of the lack of success there,” he said. “They don’t want to revive those questions and memories of Canada’s involvement with questionable results in Afghanistan. I think that this would have been in their face and the face of Canadians at a time when they’re signing us on to another open-ended commitment in Iraq.”
Diplomatic and Afghan government officials, who could not speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the subject, said the trip was billed as a chance for new leader and the Afghan government’s chief executive officer, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, to personally thank Canadians for the sacrifices, notably the deaths of 158 soldiers. It would also have given them an opportunity to lobby for continued economic development and financial assistance, specifically a long-term commitment for security force funding. The stopover was encouraged by Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan, Deborah Lyons, and officials in Washington, who feted Ghani at White House and U.S. State Department functions between March 23 and 25. Both Harper’s office and Foreign Affairs were given the opportunity to reconcile the accounts, but declined. A senior Canadian official, who was not authorized to speak the media about the subject, insisted on background that the prime minister’s office
wasn’t aware of the proposal. It was, however, well known at the Foreign Affairs level. The preliminary discussions in Kabul and the sounding out of Ghani’s office was considered an informal invitation. Once given the blessing by Stephen Harper’s office, a formal invitation would have been issued, but it appears it didn’t even get there. Western diplomatic and Afghan sources, with knowledge of the exchange with the Canadians, confirm that following the discussion over delegation size, no formal invitation was issued to the Afghans, but a visit would considered at a later date. Roland Paris, the chair in international security and governance at the University of Ottawa, says putting off the visit sends an unfortunate signal. “Afghanistan seems to be totally off the radar screen and this communicates a lack of interest in the relationship with Afghanistan and its newly elected president,” he said. “It’s a country that’s a major recipient of Canadian aid dollars and a place where Canada has invested a huge amount of money and blood.”

Aglukkaq asks for better GHG numbers

Having missed a March 31 deadline to submit greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to the United Nations, the Harper government is prodding the provinces to come up with better numbers. In letters sent to her provincial counterparts on Friday, and released publicly Sunday, Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq urges the provinces to send more information to bolster reduction targets that Ottawa has so far only estimated based on 2014 information.
VANCOUVER — Two First Nations in British Columbia are looking to take the federal government to court on behalf of all the former day students of the country’s notorious residential school system. The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc and Shishalh bands are asking permission from the federal court to launch a class-action suit representing aboriginal children who attended residential schools but returned to their families at night. In 2008, the Canadian government formally apologized for the residential school system, but it did not provide compensation to the day students who attended the schools alongside residential students. The lawsuit alleges day students suffered the same loss of cultural connection and language as their residential counterparts, who did receive compensation. It argues that the program was an intentional element of Canada’s education policy Follow us on Facebook to see all our news and resulted in serious

The young master
WILL START PLAYOFFS ON ROAD AGAINST CANUCKS WEDNESDAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Jets 5 Flames 1 WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele got a small taste of what playoff hockey will be like in Winnipeg, and he can’t wait to experience it. The Winnipeg Jets defeated the Calgary Flames 5-1 Saturday to end the regular season with a franchise-record 99 points. A standing ovation started when the playoff-bound Jets stepped onto the ice for warmup, and fans rose to their feet again a minute before the final whistle. In between there were plenty of chants of “Go Jets Go” and fans even did the wave. “I think that’s just a teaser,” said Scheifele, who assisted on Winnipeg’s second goal. “I think they’re going to be crazy. “They’ve been with us all year and they’ve been unbelievable. I think playoffs will just hit that next level for sure.” Players raised their sticks to salute the fans, who will watch NHL playoff action in Winnipeg for the first time since 1996. The 99 points are two more than the Atlanta Thrashers notched in 2006-07 before their relocation to Winnipeg in 2011. The Jets (43-26-13) also tied the franchise record for wins. Calgary (45-30-7) will play the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the playoffs, with the Canucks having home-ice advantage. The Jets’ playoff opponent — either St. Louis or Anaheim — will be decided later Saturday. Lee Stempniak had a goal and assist for Winnipeg while Drew Stafford, Michael Frolik, Adam Lowry and Matt Halischuk also scored. Michael Ferland had the lone goal for Calgary, which saw a three-game winning streak come to an end. Michael Hutchinson started in net for the Jets and stopped 24 shots. Winnipeg rested netminder Ondrej Pavelec after three straight shutouts. Joni Ortio made 17 saves for the Flames in his sixth game this season and first since Jan. 21. Both teams gave a number of key players the game off, including Andrew Ladd, Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little and defencemen Tyler Myers and Jacob Trouba for Winnipeg. Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien returned after a fourgame suspension and fellow blue-liner Toby Enstrom was back after missing three games with an injury. Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice acknowledged it was hard to get pumped up for the season finale. “I think for both teams it was difficult,” Maurice said. “Not a lot of physicality in the game. Bit of an exhibition in terms of over-handling the puck, bringing it back a bunch of times.” He expects a big difference when the post-season begins. “Oh, night and day. For everything. The intensity,” he said. “They had their mainstays out, so did we. But this one, we won’t over-assess it. Probably won’t watch it.”

Jordan Spieth applauds after winning the Masters championship Sunday, in Augusta, Ga. Photos by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JORDAN SPIETH WINS GREEN JACKET AFTER RECORD RUN AT AUGUSTA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jordan Spieth got more than redemption and a green jacket Sunday. He took his place among the best in the game with a Masters victory for the ages. One year after Spieth lost a bid to become the youngest Masters champion, the 21-year-old Texan turned in one of the most dominant wins ever at Augusta National. He never let anyone get closer to him than three shots after his record start. He never gave anyone much hope on Sunday. Spieth closed with a 2-under 70, missing a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that would have set yet another record. Instead, he tied the score set by Tiger Woods in 1997 at 18-under 270. “This was the ultimate goal in my golf life,” Spieth said. For all the talk about the Grand Slam bid by Rory McIlroy and the return of Woods, this week was about the arrival of another star. “It’s awfully impressive,” McIlroy said after finishing fourth. “It’s nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It’s great to see, great for the game, and I’m sure there will be many more.” Spieth became the first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters since Raymond Floyd in 1976, and this might have been even more special. Craig Woods in 1941 is the only other Masters champion who led by at least three shots from the opening round to the trophy presentation. Phil Mickelson tried to make a run. So did Justin Rose. Neither got closer than three shots at any point, and it wasn’t long before Spieth was making another birdie putt to take the drama out of the back nine. Mickelson (69) and Rose (70) tied for second. It was the 10th time Mickelson has been runner-up in a major. Woods jarred his right wrist then he struck wood under the pine straw on the ninth hole. He recovered and closed with a 73, 13 shots behind. Spieth won for the third time on the PGA Tour and fifth time worldwide. He will rise to No. 2 in the world rankings, still a ways to go to catch McIlroy at the top. When McIlroy won backto-back majors last year to establish himself as the game’s best player, the quest was to find a rival. Spieth provided the answer on perhaps the biggest stage in the sport with
Bubba Watson helps Jordan Spieth put on his green jacket after winning the Masters golf tournament Sunday. his record-setting week at Augusta. “I thought today might be easier having played with the lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spieth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. ... I’m still kind of shock a little bit.” And he will keep the editors of the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week: ● The 36-hole record at 14-under 130. ● The 54-hole record at 16-under 200. ● The most birdies for the tournament at 28. ● The lowest opening round by a champion at 64. ● The youngest player to lead after the opening round. “He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said. “He doesn’t overpower the golf course, but he plays the course strategically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on. “That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said. “Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.” Spieth showed early he was up to
challenge. Rose, starting the final round four shots behind, rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the first hole, and Spieth calmly made his birdie putt from just inside him. Spieth went out in 35 to build his lead to five shots, and one putt later, the Masters effectively was over. Spieth rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 10 for a six-shot lead. It was his 26th birdie of the Masters, breaking the tournament record that Mickelson set in 2001. Spieth managed this in only 64 holes. The next target was the 72-hole scoring record that Woods set in 1997 and he almost got there except for that bogey at the end. He twice went for the green on par 5s on the back nine, barely clearing the creek at No. 13 and going just over the back on No. 15, both times making birdie. The birdie on the 15th made him the only player in Masters history to reach 19-under par. McIlroy had a 68-66 weekend, hurt by his slow start and put him 12 shots going into the weekend. He will have to wait until next year to try to win the Masters and become the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. The way Spieth is playing, that task just got a little harder. In his last four starts, Spieth has won twice and finished second twice.
Stars’ Benn is historic Art Ross Trophy winner LOWEST POINT TOTAL FROM A WINNER SINCE 1962-63 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Art Ross Trophy race came down to the final minutes of a game on the last day of the NHL regular season. And that’s not the only reason it was a historic accomplishment. Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars picked up two points in the final 125 seconds Saturday night to pass John Tavares of the New York Islanders for his first Art Ross. Benn’s 87 points are the lowest to lead the NHL since Gordie Howe’s 86 in 1962-63 and the second-lowest points per game in history (1.06), behind the trophy’s first winner, Elmer Lach, in 1947-48 (1.02). Tavares said last month that officials letting a lot of penalties go may be the root of the lowest point total for a scoring champion in half a century. “I’ve noticed since the all-star break with how tight the standings are, how
NHL SEASON WRAP UP big games are, how important points are, I think a lot more is being let go and letting players decide the game,” said Tavares, who finished with 86 points. “That’s fine. I think you just want the consistency there. For me, that obviously takes away some powerplay opportunities.” One player who didn’t let powerplay opportunities go to waste was Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, who scored 25 of them on the way to 53 overall as the runaway Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy winner. Ovechkin finished 10 goals ahead of Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos. Ovechkin’s was the 19th 50-goal season since the 2004-05 lockout. Six of those are his. As dominant as Ovechkin was in the
goal-scoring department, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price was in almost every category. Price led the NHL in goals-against average (1.96), save percentage (.933) and victories (44) and finished second to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Marc-Andre Fleury in shutouts (10 to nine). “To see him take this next step in his career and his game, it’s something this team needs to reach the next level,” Canadiens teammate P.K. Subban said of Price. “He’s done that consistently for us all year.” Because the Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks tied for an NHL-best 189 goals allowed, Price shared the William M. Jennings Trophy with Corey Crawford. Not counting shootout losses, which are part of the league determining the award, the Canadiens

allowed 184 to Chicago’s 186. Other than Price being front-runner for the Hart Trophy as league MVP, there’s no clear picture about the other awards that are voted on and will be presented in June in Las Vegas. Before those trophies are handed out, 16 teams are left with a shot at the Stanley Cup. The two all-Canadian series — the Canadiens against the Ottawa Senators, and the Vancouver Canucks against the Calgary Flames — start Wednesday. Also Wednesday the Washington Capitals open up against the New York Islanders, and the Nashville Predators face the Chicago Blackhawks. The Winnipeg Jets visit the Anaheim Ducks for Game 1 Thursday, the night that also includes the opener for the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild.

Oilers fall to Canucks in overtime BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Vancouver Canucks’ Alex Burrows, right, checks Edmonton Oilers’ Matt Fraser during the third period of an NHL game in Vancouver, B.C., on Saturday.
Oilers season classified as a disappointment after missing playoffs again EDMONTON — Taylor Hall thought this year might be different for the Edmonton Oilers. In the end, it was another disappointment. Despite moments of encouragement, the Oilers missed the playoffs for a ninth-straight year and finished the season with a record of 24-44-14. “This was the year we came in with really high hopes and we didn’t deliver so it’s frustrating having to come to the rink early again and see all the teams preparing for playoffs,” Hall said. “It sucks.” Edmonton finished with the third worst record in the league. The Oilers began at a promising 4-4-1 but had fallen to 6-14-4 by the end of November. Before mid-season
their playoff hopes were gone and coach Dallas Eakins was fired and replaced by Todd Nelson on an interim basis. “When I first got here there were situations where we would get up a few goals and then a team would score a goal and we would get rattled,” said Nelson. “We saw the team grow as the season went on where we hunkered down and preserved the victory. That has to continue moving forward. There are some building blocks we can build on next year.” Whether Nelson will be back next year remains unclear. General manager Craig MacTavish is expected to speak to the media on Monday. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, whose right foot is still in a boot after cracking a bone in his heel, said he felt that the team was “right there” early in the season. “As the year went on I felt like we picked it up and played a lot better,”
Buffalo Sabres fire coach Ted STORIES FROM PAGE B1 Nolan after last-place finish FLAMES: Banged up BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Two last-place finishes and an imperfect working relationship led Sabres general manager Tim Murray to the conclusion to fire coach Ted Nolan on Sunday. The decision was made after a lengthy evaluation which ended with Murray’s exit interviews with Sabres players, a day after Buffalo (23-51-8) closed its season with a 2-0 loss to Pittsburgh. “I don’t think it was a bad fit. I don’t think it was a great fit,” Murray during a hastily called news conference. “Maybe it’s just chemistry. Maybe it’s just two different personalities.” Murray also felt the move to fire Nolan a little more than a year after the coach signed a three-year contract was needed to improve a team in the midst of a rebuilding process. “I know this isn’t a popular thing,” Murray said. “To me, it’s about getting better. I feel this was an opportunity for us to improve and keep improving. And that’s certainly no disrespect to Ted.” Nolan was in good spirits but de-

clined comment when reached by The Associated Press. “I’m just going to reflect on it and come out with a statement in the next couple of days,” Nolan said. Nolan is out for a second time in Buffalo, after he spent two seasons coaching the team in the mid-1990s. Nolan’s first tenure ended after winning NHL coach of the year honours in 1997. He left while feeling disrespected by then-GM Darcy Regier for offering Nolan a one-year contract extension. Nolan returned to Buffalo on an interim basis in November 2013 when Ron Rolston was fired as part of a front-office shakeup. Regier was fired at the same time, and former Sabres captain Pat LaFontaine was brought in as president of hockey operations. LaFontaine then hired Murray in January, before stepping down abruptly after a little more than three months on the job, and Nolan lost his biggest backer. Murray, however, provided the coach an opportunity by signing him to a contract extension despite having no previous working relationship with Nolan.
the air and Ferland batted it in for his second goal of the season. “It was really exciting,” Bennett said of his first point. “Me and my linemates came out flying there. It definitely was really nice to get that out of the way. “I have to compliment Ferland, who made an unbelievable play to help me get my first point.” But Calgary’s lead only lasted 15 seconds when Stafford sent a high shot at Ortio that hit his glove and went in. Frolik notched his 19th goal of the season 47 seconds into the third period for the 2-1 lead. Stempniak scored his 15th at 6:48, with Andrew Copp also getting his first assist in his first game. Rookie Lowry made it 4-1 just 58 seconds later when he created a turnover and scored his 11th of the season. Halischuk finished the third-period barrage with a goal at 18:59.

Canucks 6 Oilers 5 (OT) VANCOUVER — The regular season finale for the Vancouver Canucks didn’t matter in terms of the team’s standing heading into the playoffs. For goalie Ryan Miller, though, the game had plenty of significance. Miller made 23 saves in his first start in nearly seven weeks and Alex Edler scored in overtime as the Canucks rallied to beat the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 on Saturday. Vancouver clinched home-ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs before the puck even dropped Saturday. Winnipeg’s 5-1 victory over the Flames earlier in the day gave the Canucks the No. 2 seed in the Pacific Division, with first-round opponent Calgary as the No. 3. “It really wasn’t a game that you would say meant a whole lot. Our position was locked up,” said Miller, who injured his knee against the Islanders back on Feb. 22. “But it meant a lot for me because I wanted to get back on track.” Vancouver head coach Willie Desjardin is expected to go with Eddie Lack in Game 1 on Wednesday against Calgary. Lack has been impressive since Miller went down, going 12-6-2 with a 2.36 goals-against average. Despite allowing five goals, Desjardin liked what he saw in Miller’s return. “I thought he got better as the game went on. He had some real tough shots. I thought for his first game back, he was good.” Sven Baertschi, with two, Daniel Sedin, Kevin Bieksa, and Jannik Hansen also scored for the Canucks, who finish the regular season with 101 points and a 48-29-5 record. Jordan Eberle, Nail Yakupov, Benoit Pouliot, Taylor Hall and Teddy Purcell scored for Edmonton (24-44-14), which is set to miss the playoffs for the ninth straight season and finish this year’s campaign 28th in the NHL. Pouliot, who went to the Cup final last season with the New York Rangers, says it’s been a tough year with his new team.
said Nugent-Hopkins. “So we can take some positives out of the year, but we all know we need to get better.” Some players said they felt the team played more aggressively and responsibly under Nelson in the final 51 games. The Oilers had a 17-259 record under Nelson and played through injuries to captain Andrew Ference and Nugent-Hopkins. “Sporadic play was the best way to describe it,” said Ference, who is still suffering effects from his third concussion that occurred late in the season. “There were some games we put together some really good play, some responsible play. But even at that it wasn’t consistent enough so it’s not progress as good as should be.” Ference said the biggest challenge going forward is for players to stop rewarding themselves for being close. “I think we did that, to a certain extent, at the start of the season,” he said. “Maybe we were too happy with how close we were in some of those one-goal games and close games. “You can get into trouble when you congratulate yourself on mediocrity a little too easily.” The defenceman also referenced Edmonton’s rival, the Calgary Flames, as a good example on where the team wants to go. “You look at Calgary, they never accepted the fact they weren’t supposed to be good. They held themselves to a high standard all year b& that’s something we have to look at and try to emulate,” said Ference. Forward Jordan Eberle, who led the team in scoring with 24 goals and 63 points, said the Oilers underperformed once again. “I thought we had a better team and didn’t meet the expectations that everyone in that locker-room thought we could do,” said Eberle. Hall will accompany Eberle to play for Canada at the world championships in May. Nugent-Hopkins said he’s hopeful to play in the worlds but will have to consult with team doctors in the next few days.

Race for the Stanley Cup begins NEW FACES, BIG ABSENCES AND FIVE CANADIAN TEAMS IN AN INTRIGUING POST-SEASON BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The NHL’s post-season dominoes tumbled throughout the regular season’s wild final week. When the last ones fell Saturday night, they revealed that the league is set up for an extremely interesting spring. This Stanley Cup tournament features seven teams that missed the playoffs last year. A whopping five Canadian teams earned berths, the most from hockey’s heartland since 2004. Defending champion Los Angeles won’t be there, and neither will perennial power Boston. The New York Rangers and Anaheim landed atop the two conferences, but contenders with a tantalizing array of veteran talent and hungry youth are right behind them. And expect fierce competition this season: The post-season contenders were separated in the standings by only 16 points, the smallest gap in the 16-team post-season era. The puck drops Wednesday night in Montreal, Washington, Nashville and Vancouver. The action won’t stop until a new champion raises the Cup in June. Here’s what to watch when the NHL post-season begins this week: HOME COOKING: Sure, Canadian players and coaches are prominent on every NHL team. But when franchises based in the Great White North make the playoffs, there’s an extra ex-
citement — and this post-season will have plenty after a mad rush for position left five Canadian teams in the field and two all-Canadian first-round matchups. Montreal was a no-doubt playoff contender, and remains a Stanley Cup favourite as long as Carey Price continues his unbelievable season in net. Vancouver comfortably earned its post-season spot and second place in the Pacific Division with a remarkable bounce-back season under new coach Willie Desjardins. Yet the Canucks’ first-round opponent will be the upstart Calgary Flames, who defied expectations and the loss of injured captain Mark Giordano to end their five-year playoff drought. The Winnipeg Jets also hung on late to earn their city’s first home playoff games since 1996. And then there are the Ottawa Senators, who went 23-4-4 over their final 31 games to earn a first-round showdown with Montreal. The Senators shocked the league with incredible play from Andrew Hammond, a mid-tier AHL goalie nicknamed “The Hamburglar� who has gone 20-1-2 since his February recall. NEW BLOOD: The playoffs will go on without the teams that won three of the past four Stanley Cup titles — and for the first time in NHL history, the teams that won the previous season’s championship and the team with the
last Presidents’ Trophy both missed the post-season. The Los Angeles Kings struggled at midseason and flopped in the final week, finishing ninth in the West and ending their spectacular run of two championships, 10 playoff series wins and a record 64 post-season games over the past three years. For the first time since 2007, the playoffs won’t feature the defending champion. The Boston Bruins, who won the 2011 title and had the NHL’s best regular-season record last year, joined the Kings on the golf course after seeing their hopes crushed in the final hours of the season. NO REWARD: The top seeds in each conference drew tough matchups in the first round. The Rangers emerged from a pack of top teams and streaked past Anaheim to claim the Presidents’ Trophy in the final weeks, but their dubious reward is a perilous first-round matchup with superstar Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins, who squeaked into the post-season on the final day. Anaheim led the overall league standings for much of the season before clinching the top spot in the West in its final game. Yet the high-powered Ducks’ first opponent is the Winnipeg Jets, who made a late-season surge for their first playoff berth since the erstwhile Atlanta Thrashers moved north nearly
four years ago. The MTS Centre and the famed Portage and Main intersection in that prairie metropolis will be packed with white-clad, success-starved fans when the Ducks fly into town. “I think they’re going to be crazy,� Jets forward Mark Schiefele said. “They’ve been with us all year and they’ve been unbelievable. I think playoffs will just hit that next level for sure.� DIVISIONAL RIVALS: The NHL realigned its post-season last year to create more matchups between divisional rivals, and the effect will be felt particularly by Central Division teams this year. Division champion St. Louis drew a meeting with Minnesota, which finished with the Western Conference’s sixth-best record. The other Central matchup is a brawl between highpowered Chicago and surprising Nashville, which held off the 2013 champion Blackhawks down the stretch for homeice advantage. STEADY ON: The Detroit Red Wings made the playoffs for the 24th consecutive season, and they’ve never had a post-season series against the Tampa Bay Lightning and general manager Steve Yzerman, who is a bit of a celebrity in Michigan. The Wings’ playoff exploits could play a role in the future of coach Mike Babcock, who could be available to the highest bidder this summer.
Maple Leafs clean house, fire Nonis, Horachek and staff TORONTO — Changes were inevitable for the Toronto Maple Leafs after their worst season in almost 20 years. President Brendan Shanahan didn’t waste any time making them. The Leafs fired general manager Dave Nonis and interim coach Peter Horachek and his entire staff Sunday, beginning a tumultuous off-season that could bring wholesale roster changes, as well. Nonis was fired with three years left on his contract after the Leafs went 3044-8 to finish with 68 points, the fewest in an 82-game season since 1996-97. Shanahan and players are set to address the media Monday afternoon at Air Canada Centre. Toronto was in a playoff position in early January when Nonis announced the firing of coach Randy Carlyle and subsequently replaced him with Horachek. At the time, Nonis blamed inconsistency for the firing and said he is “never worried about� his own job security. “You make your decisions on what’s best for the team and that’s not going to change,� Nonis said Jan. 6. “We’re going to do the things that we need to do as a group in order to move this team forward.�
LOS ANGELES KINGS
GM Dean Lombardi contemplates his options after the champions miss the playoffs EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Los Angeles Kings general manager Dean Lombardi assembled a team that won two Stanley Cup titles and 10 playoff series in three seasons with the belief that teamwork and trust mattered as much as talent. After the Kings’ remarkable run quietly ended Saturday, Lombardi has a long summer to contemplate how far he should extend that trust for another year. Los Angeles finished ninth in the Western Conference, missing its first post-season since 2009 and becoming the first defending champion to miss the playoffs since the 2007 Carolina

From that day until the season ended Saturday night, the Leafs went 9-285 to finish 27th in the NHL. The only silver lining to that is a 9.5 per cent chance of winning the Connor McDavid draft lottery to jump-start the rebuilding effort. Horachek’s dismissal was expected. This is the second straight season he took over as interim coach (2013-14 with Florida Panthers) and was let go. “You want to see more success, obviously,� Horachek said after the Leafs’ season-ending 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. “If you don’t get it, you have to keep trying in different directions and different manners of motivation and where you’re going to go. ... “It’s evident that there’s lots of changes that have to happen, and the direction has to be in a different direction.� In addition to Horachek, assistants Steve Spott, Chris Dennis and Rick St. Croix were fired, while Steve Staios was moved back to the front office as manager of player development. Spott was in his first year as a Leafs assistant after coaching the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies. The Leafs also fired director of pro scouting Steve Kasper and director of player development Jim Hughes as part of an overhaul of the scouting Hurricanes. “They were as frustrated as we were that we couldn’t get that car revved up,� Lombardi said at the Kings’ quiet training complex. “I think we did eventually, and then we ran out of gas.� Lombardi has signed most of the core of his championship teams to long-term contracts, leaving him relatively little flexibility to remake the Kings. He doesn’t want a full-scale overhaul, but he also wants more from a tired team that couldn’t finish strong. “I am not giving up on the idea that loyalty is still part of building a team,� Lombardi said. “But you’d better exercise it very judiciously, and I think that’s one of the things I’ve had to learn. That is not to point the finger at any players, but ... when you hit that well of cap space (for) loyalty, it has to go to the right (players), and it had better be returned.� Lombardi also confirmed parts of a New York Post report stating that the players locked coach Darryl Sutter out of a meeting earlier this season, but the GM saw it as a positive develop-

Assistant general manager Kyle Dubas and director of player personnel Mark Hunter will share interim duties until the Leafs hire a new general manager. The new GM will be tasked with overhauling a roster full of players that underperformed the past two seasons after making the playoffs in the lockout-shortened 2013 campaign. Vet-
erans Phil Kessel, Dion Phaneuf, Tyler Bozak and Joffrey Lupul could be among those traded. “You know there’s going to be change,� Phaneuf said Saturday night. Asked about the rebuilding effort the Leafs are about to embark on, goaltender Jonathan Bernier responded: “That’s Shanny’s question. I can’t answer that.� Shanahan began answering it by cleaning house Sunday.
ment toward player ownership of their fates, along with that team concept prized so dearly by the Kings. Lombardi said the meeting happened in February, right before an eight-game winning streak.
“Theoretically, I have no problem with it,� Lombardi said after disputing several details in the Post’s story. “In terms of what actually happened, maybe you don’t have to go to that extreme.�

Dryden Hunt and Steven Owre found the back of the net for the Tigers in regulation. Travis Sanheim scored for the Hitmen and picked up an assist on Jordy Stallard’s goal that tied the game 2-2. Calgary’s Mack Shields made 47 saves in defeat. Medicine Hat went 1 for 2 on the power play while the Hitmen failed to score on four chances with the man advantage. Game 3 goes Monday in Calgary.

Long ball carries Jays to win over Orioles BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 10 Orioles 7 BALTIMORE — In a contentious duel with a deep, dark history, Jose Bautista got the final word against Darren O’Day. Bautista hit the last of Toronto’s three home runs, and the Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 10-7 Sunday to complete a solid season-opening road trip. After the Orioles cut a five-run deficit to 8-7, Bautista’s two-run drive in the eighth off O’Day gave Toronto the cushion it needed. The O’Day-Bautista confrontation has a history that includes tight pitches, strong language and home runs. This time, after O’Day threw a pitch behind the slugger, Bautista hit his first long ball of the year. “Emotion of the moment. There’s history there,” Bautista said. “He’s hit me a few times, he’s thrown behind me a few times, and I’ve got him a few times.” It was his fourth home run in 15 career at-bats against the sidearmer, who’s hit him twice. “The smart play there was once I fell behind him, just try to pitch around him,” O’Day said. “That’s honestly what I was trying to do.” After the victory the Blue Jays headed north, hoping home-field advantage means more to them than it did to their opponents during the first week of the season. Toronto won two of three from the Yankees in New York before duplicating the feat against the defending AL East champions at Camden Yards. Next up for the Blue Jays: Their home opener Monday night against Tampa Bay. “It feels like we’ve been on the road forever,” manager John Gibbons said. “It’s been a long haul, so. So it’ll be
good to get back home.” Dalton Pompey and Kevin Pillar went deep for the Blue Jays, who doubled their home-run total for the season. Toronto scored 23 runs in the three-game series, twice reaching double figures. Adam Jones and Travis Snider both homered and drove in three runs for Baltimore, and Manny Machado got his first hit to snap an 0-for-15 skid to start the season. Orioles starter Chris Tillman (1-1) allowed seven runs, three earned, and six hits in 2 2-3 innings. “They came out swinging,” Tillman said. “I was never able to get any real command of any of my pitches.” Aaron Loup (1-1) pitched 1 2-3 perfect innings after starter Drew Hutchison gave up a career-high tying seven runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. Miguel Castro worked the ninth for his second save. After Pillar made an outstanding diving catch of a foul ball to left, Chris Davis hit a routine fly to Pillar with two runners on to end it. Pompey put Toronto up 2-0 in the first inning with a drive to the top of the right-field scoreboard that wasn’t called a home run until after a replay review of more than two minutes. Jones countered in the bottom half with a two-run shot to centre, but the Blue Jays took the lead for good when Pillar homered leading off the second. Toronto made it 7-2 in the third. After Tillman walked the bases loaded, rookie Devon Travis hit a two-out liner to right that Snider broke in on before backtracking. The ball glanced off his glove for an error, allowing three runs to score, and Jose Reyes greeted reliever Kevin Gausman with an RBI single. Davis and Jones delivered RBI singles in the Orioles’ half. Snider hit his first home run with Baltimore, a three-run drive in the fifth that made it 8-7 and chased Hutchison. MILESTONE HOMERS

Habs seek to improve in front of Providence downs BU on own goal in Frozen Four final Price with Sens up first in playoffs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
FRIARS WIN FIRST NCAA TITLE Gillies said. “And you’ve been there, so you know the bottomless feeling that it presents. ... You know that nothing you say right there can help, but just trying to get him lift his head up and realize he played an unbelievable year as a whole.” Ahti Oksanen and Danny O’Regan scored an NCAA Tournament-record 4 seconds apart for the Terriers to overcome an early deficit, and Cason Hohmann gave BU a 3-2 lead in the second period. O’Connor stopped 39 shots. But his gaffe cost BU the lead in a building where it had won so many times in the Beanpot and Hockey East championships — including both tournaments this season. In all, the Terriers came into Saturday night with a 42-22-0 record at the TD Garden since it opened in 1995. Oksanen tied it at 1 midway through the first period, then Hobey Baker Award winner Eichel won the ensuing faceoff and skated into the Friars’ zone before sliding the puck over to O’Regan for another goal. The previous record for fastest goals was 5 seconds apart, set by Michigan in the 1948 championship game against Dartmouth. Jankowski made it 2-2 early in the second and Hohmann put BU back on top midway through the period. It stayed that way for 20 minutes as the game settled into a lull before O’Connor’s mistake gave new energy to the Friars. BU called a timeout with 6:19 left. On the ensuing faceoff, Tanev picked up the puck in the slot and wristed it in for the go-ahead goal. Terriers coach David Quinn, in his second season since replacing longtime mentor Jack Parker, pulled O’Connor with 1:50 to play, and BU put sustained pressure on Gillies. The Terriers came closest to tying it when Roberto picked up a rebound with Gillies out of position, but the goalie dove back and got his arm onto the ice to stop the shot and protect the lead. The Friars were the preseason favourite to win in Hockey East, but they stumbled early and BU won the regular-season and conference tournament titles. PC won two games in the Providence regional to reach the Frozen Four, and then had another virtual home game against Nebraska-Omaha on Thursday to make it to the championship game.
BOSTON — Providence defenceman Tom Parisi thought he was just dumping the puck in from the red line so the Friars could get some fresh skaters on the ice. Boston University goalie Matt O’Connor thought he had it. Easy. But after the puck fluttered into his glove, more a blooper than a line drive, O’Connor lost track of it. The Toronto native opened his hand, the puck dropped below him, and as the BU junior scooted back to cover the net, he kicked it in for the tying score. “I go back to the bench and guys are saying, ’That went in,”’ Parisi said. “I don’t even know what to say. I was stunned. The second that went in, I knew we had it.” Officially, it was a couple of minutes later that Brandon Tanev of Toronto scored to give the Friars the lead with 6:17 remaining. Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player Jon Gillies stopped 49 shots, and Providence held on to beat BU 4-3 on Saturday night for its first NCAA hockey title. It was the third straight year that the NCAA has crowned a first-time champion. Anthony Florentino and Mark Jankowski, of Dundas, Ont., also scored for the Friars (26-13-12). The Hockey East runners-up earned the last atlarge berth in 16-team NCAA Tournament, but they won it all by beating the school that edged them out for the conference title. “I think that’s what makes it a little bit sweeter. That BU team is, they were terrific,” Providence coach Nate Leaman said. “It’s kind of a little bit like our season: We started a little bit slow but we got better and better. We played a pretty good third period, and obviously got a big bounce. And we had a heck of a bounce, and I think that got our bench alive a little bit.“ BU (28-8-5) was seeking its sixth championship in a virtual home game, protecting a 3-2 lead when O’Connor seemed to field a harmlessly lofted puck. But then he doubted whether he had caught it after all. “I couldn’t really see it in my glove. I thought it rolled out of it. I tried to drop and throw it to Jack (Eichel) and it was too late,” O’Connor said. “Everyone in this locker room deserves a lot better. They deserve to be hoisting the national championship right now.” Tanev scored off a faceoff to give the Friars the lead, and Gillies helped protect it with a diving save against Nick Roberto in the final minutes. The PC fans who made the hour drive from the Rhode Island capital drowned out the sound of the final buzzer, and the players stormed over the boards to celebrate. It was • Bluetooth Handsfree • Mobile Video the school’s second trip to • GPS Navigation Systems • Remote Starters the Frozen Four, its first since 1985. • CERTIFIED INSTALLERS BU players skated slowly over to O’Connor to console him after the loss. Providence players also tried to lift his spirits in the handshake line. “As a goalie, you feel for a bounce like that,”
TORONTO — Michel Therrien called Carey Price the reason the Montreal Canadiens won 50 games for the first time since 1988-89, and there’s no one in hockey who would refute that. If the Canadiens make a deep run in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Price will be the biggest reason. But as they prepare for Game 1 Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators, Montreal’s skaters know there’s an onus on them to also step up their game. “For us, you can’t win unless you have everyone going,” forward Brendan Gallagher said. “We have that accountability, that pride in this dressing-room for us to focus. We know what we have back end and what Price is going to do for us, but it’s up to us to execute our own game plan.” Price, the NHL leader in victories (a franchise-record 44), goals-against average (1.96) and save percentage (.933), has bailed out his teammates a lot this season. Montreal is one of two playoff teams, along with the Calgary Flames to be out-shot by opponents. Therrien said when the Habs have

needed timely, key saves, Price has been there. But that’s not all that got them the Atlantic Division title and home ice through the first two rounds of the playoffs. “As far as I’m concerned he’s the best player in the league right now,” Therrien said. “Guys take a lot of pride about playing really solid defensively. When there’s breakdowns, we’re fortunate to get a guy like Carey Price. But we take a lot of pride about the way we want to play, and to play some tight hockey and make sure we’re ready for the playoffs.” Price was key to last spring’s run to the Eastern Conference final before getting injured, but P.K. Subban pointed out there were other contributors. Subban was the leading scorer, followed closely by Lars Eller, and even Dale Weise chipped in with big goals. “We had different guys stepping up at key moments and making big plays, and not just putting pucks in the net, but whether it’s blocking shots, making solid defensive plays or making a big hit at the right time,” Subban said. “We’re going to need those plays, and they’re going to prove huge for us in the playoffs.”

Jimmie Johnson (48) makes doughnuts after winning NASCAR auto race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday.
Johnson does it again with second win in a row at Texas BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas — Jimmie Johnson was still chasing Jamie McMurray and Kevin Harvick, trying to get back in front as the laps wound down at Texas Motor Speedway. Then Johnson got the break that led to his fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at the track. “They slid up high through (Turns) 3 and 4 and left the bottom wide open for me,â€? Johnson said. “I thought I’d at least get (Harvick). When I came off of Turn 4, I was alongside (McMurray).â€? Johnson passed both of them, regaining the lead for good with 14 laps left. He held off Harvick and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. for his second victory this season — and 72nd of his career. Harvick, the series points leader who has also won twice this season, had been trying to get around McMurray, who had taken only two tires for the final restart on lap 314 of 334. Then Harvick went high and scraped the wall with about three laps to go. “I looked up in the mirror and I saw smoke and sparks,â€? Johnson said. “Just lost a little bit of time and tried to make too much of it up in too many chunks, and about spun out and got in the fence trying to make up ground,â€? Harvick said. “All in all, it was a lot of fun. Fun to race that way.â€? Johnson led nine times for 128 laps. He also won in November at Texas, where all four of his previous wins had been in fall races. The runner-up finish for Harvick comes after he was eighth in Martinsville in the last Cup race two weeks ago. That ended his run of eight consecutive races finishing first or second, the longest such stretch since Richard Petty did it 11 times in a row in 1975. “I’m not disappointed at all, racing for wins is what we’re here to do,â€? said Harvick, who led 96 of the 334 laps but is without a win in 25 Texas starts. “Nothing at all to hang your head about.â€? This was the fifth time in Johnson’s last seven starts at the 1 ½-mile, highbanked track that he led at least 100 laps. This is fourth win in the span that also includes a runner-up finish in the spring race three years ago.
Earnhardt, with his third thirdplace finish this season, gave Chevrolet a sweep of the top three spots in the first Sprint Cup night race this season. But he was disappointed with one move that he didn’t make that could have made the night even better. “I had Harvick cleared off two. I had passed him on the bottom,� Earnhardt said. “I still had Jimmie behind me at that point, and I should have pulled up in front of Kevin and made it a little more difficult on him. We weren’t as good as the 48 (Johnson) or the 4 (Harvick) early in the race, but we definitely improved it.� Team Penske rounded out the top five in a pair of Fords, with defending race winner Joey Logano finishing fourth and Brad Keselowski fifth. Harvick, Logano and Martin Truex Jr., who finished ninth, are the only drivers to finish in the top 10 in all seven races this season. Keselowski got his sixth top 10. Jeff Gordon, who in his last full season, is the only driver who has started all 29 Sprint Cup races at Texas since the track opened in 1997. He finished seventh after starting 12th. Gordon won the 2009 spring race at Texas, where he has 12 top-10 finishes. It is also the only track in his 768 career races where he has finished 43rd — last in the field — and it did that twice, in 1999 and again in 2008. Unlike after Johnson’s win in November, the only postrace fireworks this time were in the sky. There was late contact between Keselowski and Gordon in the race five months ago. That led to a post-race melee on pit road involving both of their teams, a fracas that broke out after Harvick pushed Keselowski into the fray. Harvick, who led only eight laps his first 24 Texas starts, led the first 33 laps. Kurt Busch, his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate and the polesitter, combined to lead the first 79 laps before Gordon passed Busch, who wound up 14th. The only other driver with more than two Cup wins at Texas is Carl Edwards, a three-time winner. He finished 10th, ending his career-long streak of eight consecutive finishes outside the top 10. It was his first top 10 for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Brad Jacobs beats Mike McEwen to win Player’s Championship CURLING BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Olympic champion Brad Jacobs captured the Players’ Championship Grand Slam of Curling event on Sunday with a 4-3 comeback victory over previously undefeated Mike McEwen. Jacobs, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, trailed 3-1 after four ends but grabbed a deuce in the fifth and then scored a single in the eighth to complete the come-from-behind win. McEwen, from Winnipeg, was the only player to go undefeated leading up to the championship at 5-0 while Jacobs went 4-1 — his only loss coming against Winnipeg’s Reid Carruthers in
round-robin play. Jacobs topped Edmonton’s Brendan Bottcher 6-5 earlier in the day to qualify for the finals while McEwen beat Toronto’s John Epping 7-3 in the other men’s semifinal. On the women’s side, singles in both the seventh and eighth ends gave Scotland’s Eve Muirhead a 4-2 win over Russia’s Anna Sidorova in the final Grand Slam Curling competition of the season. Sidorova opened the scoring with a single in the second end before Muirhead tied it in the third. The two sides again traded points in the fourth and fifth ends before Muirhead broke the 2-2 tie in the seventh. Muirhead edged Ottawa’s Rachel Homan 8-7 in the semifinal earlier in the day. Sidorova beat Edmonton’s Val Sweeting 5-3 to book her spot in the women’s championship.

CANADIAN NATIONAL ALPACA SALE AND FUTURITY
An alpaca peeks over the edge of its pen during the Canadian National Alpaca Sale and Futurity held at the UFA Agricentre on Saturday.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY ASHLI BARRETT/ ADVOCATE STAFF More than hundred alpacas descended on the UFA Agricentre this past weekend to strut their stuff in a fleecy competition. The 14th annual Canadian National Select Sale and Futurity event saw juvenile, yearling, and two-year-old offspring alpacas judged primarily on their conformation and fibre. Fibre, otherwise known as the animal’s fleece, was checked for its density, coverage, and consistent crimping, and accounted for 60 per cent of the judge’s marks and rankings.

Half of the futurity entries received prize money, with a total of $27,500 handed out following judging. Futurity champions were selected mid-afternoon on Sunday. While the focus of the event was primarily on the Futurity, and helping to grow the industry, breeders could also take in the “Alpacas are your Business” presentation on Saturday evening. A Select Sale is usually held, but was cancelled, due to a lack of animals ready to be put up for auction. At least 20 alpacas are needed for the sale, which breeders hope will return for the 2016 show.

Turkey angered over Pope’s remarks CALLS ARMENIAN KILLINGS ‘GENOCIDE’ ON CENTENARY VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Sunday marked the 100th anniversary of the slaughter of Armenians by calling the massacre by Ottoman Turks “the first genocide of the 20th century” and urging the international community to recognize it as such. Turkey immediately responded by recalling its ambassador and accusing Francis of spreading hatred and “unfounded claims.” Francis issued the pronouncement during a Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica commemorating the centenary that was attended by Armenian church leaders and President Serge Sarkisian, who praised the pope for calling a spade a spade and “delivering a powerful message to the international community.” “The words of the leader of a church with 1 billion followers cannot but have a strong impact,” he told The Associated Press. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. Turkey, however, denies a genocide took place. It has insisted that the toll has been inflated and that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest. Francis defended his words by saying it was his duty to honour the memory of the innocent men, women and children who were “senselessly” murdered by Ottoman Turks. “Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it,” he said. He said similar massacres are under way today against Christians who because of their faith are “publicly and ruthlessly put to death — decapitated, crucified, burned alive — or forced to leave their homeland,” a reference to the Islamic State group’s assault against Christians in Iraq and Syria. Francis called on the world community, heads of state and international
organizations to recognize the truth of what transpired to prevent such “horrors” from repeating themselves, and to oppose all such crimes “without ceding to ambiguity or compromise.” Turkey has fiercely lobbied to prevent countries, including the Holy See, from officially recognizing the Armenian massacre as genocide and reacted strongly to Francis’ declaration. “The pope’s statement, which is far from historic and legal truths, is unacceptable,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu tweeted. “Religious positions are not places where unfounded claims are made and hatred is stirred.” The Foreign Ministry summoned the Vatican’s envoy in Ankara, and then announced it was recalling its own ambassador to the Vatican for consultations. In a statement, the ministry said the Turkish people would not recognize the pope’s statement “which is controversial in every aspect, which is based on prejudice, which distorts history and reduces the pains suffered in Anatolia under the conditions of the First World War to members of just one religion.” It accused Francis of deviating from his message of peace and reconciliation during his November visit to Turkey. Several European countries recognize the massacres as genocide, though Italy and the United States, for example, have avoided using the term officially given the importance they place on Turkey as an ally. The Holy See, too, places great importance in its relationship with the moderate Muslim nation, especially as it demands that Muslim leaders condemn the Islamic State group slaughter of Christians. But Francis’ willingness to rile Ankara with his words showed once again that he has few qualms about taking diplomatic risks for issues close to his heart. And the massacre of Armenians is indeed close to the Vatican’s heart given that Armenia is held up as the
Conflicts prompt increase in arms spending globally BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HELSINKI — World military spending was largely unchanged in 2014 as lower spending in the United States and Western Europe was matched by increases elsewhere, prompted by conflicts in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, an arms watchdog said Monday. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said total global arms expenditure was down 0.4 per cent at $1.8 trillion. American spending was reduced by 6.5 per cent as part of measures to cut the U.S. budget deficit, while the three biggest arms spenders after the U.S. — China, Russia and Saudi Arabia — greatly increased their purchases. Saudi Arabia boosted its military investments the most, by 17 per cent, while China’s arms spending rose by 9.7 per cent to an estimated $216 billion. SIPRI program director Sam PerloFreeman said the conflict in Ukraine has prompted many European countries near Russia to increase mili-
tary spending, particularly in central Europe, the Baltics and the Nordic countries. On the other hand, the five biggest spenders in western Europe — France, Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain — have all budgeted for further, small cuts this year. “The Ukraine crisis has fundamentally altered the security situation in Europe, but so far the impact on military spending is mostly apparent in countries bordering Russia,” he said. “Elsewhere, austerity remains the main driver of downward spending trends.” Ukraine increased expenditure by over 20 per cent in 2014 and plans to more than double spending on the armed forces in 2015. In line with plans made before the Ukraine conflict Moscow is also spending more on arms this year, the institute said in its report. The fast build-up of arms in areas such as the Middle East and Africa is “placing an increasingly high burden on economies,” Perlo-Freeman added. “These increases partly reflect worsening security situations, but in many cases they are also the product of corruption, vested interests and autocratic governance,” he said.
first Christian nation, dating from 301. That said, Francis is not the first pope to call the massacre a genocide. St. John Paul II wrote in a 2001 joint declaration with the Armenian church leader, Karenkin II, that the deaths were considered “the first genocide of the 20th century.” But the context of Francis’ pronunciation was different and significant: in St. Peter’s during an Armenian rite service with the Armenian church and state leadership in attendance on the
100th anniversary of the slaughter. And his call for international acknowledgement of what happened went beyond what John Paul had written. Francis’ words had a deeply moving effect among Armenians in the basilica, many of whom wept. At the end of the service, the Armenian Apostolic Church’s Aram I thanked Francis for his clear condemnation and recalled that “genocide” is a crime against humanity that requires reparation.

Attacks on troops in Egypt’s Sinai kill 14 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EL-ARISH, Egypt — At least 14 people, mostly Egyptian policemen, were killed Sunday in separate operations when militants attacked a police station in the provincial capital of Egypt’s northern Sinai, and detonated a roadside bomb against a passing armoured vehicle, officials said. Northern Sinai has witnessed a series of complex and successful attacks targeting Egyptian security forces, many of which have been claimed by a local affiliate of the Islamic State group. Twitter accounts affiliated with the group claimed responsibility for the Sunday attacks. In the largest of the day’s attacks, a suspected car bomber detonated his vehicle at the entrance of a large police station in el-Arish, the capital of North Sinai province, killing at least six, including five policemen, and injuring several civilians, the Interior Ministry said. By nightfall, Health Ministry
Spokesman Hossam Abdel-Ghaffar in Cairo said at least eight bodies were pulled from the rubble, while 45 people were injured, including some in critical condition. The blast left a deep crater in the residential area, and damaged several homes nearby. Officials said rescue crews were still searching through the rubble for survivors and the death toll was expected to rise. The explosion was the second attack Sunday on troops in Sinai. Earlier in the day, six soldiers, including an officer, were killed when a roadside bomb struck their armoured vehicle travelling south of el-Arish. In a third smaller attack, militants clashed with soldiers at a mobile checkpoint in Rafah, south of el-Arish, wounding one police officer and two soldiers. Sunday is Eastern Orthodox Easter in Egypt, and police have been on high alert against attacks. The attacks took place as Egypt’s defence minister carried out a limited military reshuffle, replacing the commander of the army division responsible for securing northern Sinai.
Maj. Gen. Mohammed el-Shahat, who only commanded Egypt’s second field army for about a year, was promoted to head of military intelligence; el-Shahat’s deputy, Maj. Gen. Nasser el-Assi, will replace him. In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the Interior Ministry —which oversees the police — said a suicide bomber in a small truck drove through a checkpoint outside the police station, causing guards to open fire before the vehicle exploded. The ministry said five policemen and a civilian were killed in the explosion. An official said the dead include two ranking police officers and two conscripts. The officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters. Residents say the explosion outside one of four main police stations in el-Arish shook the surrounding district. One woman said her house walls cracked. Cars outside the station were on fire. Abu Mohammed, a resident who lives near the police station, said
body parts littered the area after the huge explosion, which also split an armoured car into two. He said the suicide bomber kept on driving past sand mounds and a cement blast wall securing the station — all despite coming under heavy fire from the guards. “Those at the other end of town heard the explosion. It was humongous. It terrified us,” Abu Mohammed said, using an alias for fear of reprisals from the militants. “I am not afraid of them. I only fear for those around me. We will not leave our town until we liberate it from those terrorists.” The new army commander in the area, el-Assi, inherits the simmering Sinai-based Islamic insurgency that continues to target army soldiers and police officers despite an intensive military campaign. The attacks surged following the 2013 military ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. The largest Sinai-based militant group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group last year and now refers to itself as the group’s Sinai Province.

Only 13 per cent of survey respondents evaluated Rousseff’s administration positively. Sunday’s protests, which took place in cities from Belem, in the northern Amazonian rainforest region, to Curitiba in the south, were organized mostly via social media by an assortment of groups. Most were calling for Rousseff’s impeachment, but others’ demands ranged for urging looser gun control laws to a military coup. While last month’s protests drew substantial crowds in several large cities, Sunday’s turnout was lacklustre. In Rio, several thousand people marched along the golden sands of Copacabana beach, many dressed in the yellow and green of the Brazilian flag. The March 15 protest, by contrast, drew tens of thousands. In the opposition stronghold of Sao Paulo, thousands of people marched on the city’s main thoroughfare, Avenida Paulista, though the crowd paled in comparison to last month, when more than 200,000 people turned out, making it the biggest demonstration in the city since 1984 rallies there demanding the end of the military dictatorship. – A Proud Past and a Promising Future – “I was on the avenue on March 15 and without a doubt, today’s demonstration was much smaller,” said Antonio Guglielmi, a 61-year-old sales representative for construction materials company, vowing, “I will keep coming back to demonstrations like this one — big or small — because it is the best way for us to make our voices heard and demand an end to the Dilma government and the PT and end to corruption.

Fans, foes await Modi visit INDIAN PRIME MINISTER SET FOR THREE-DAY VISIT TO CANADA STARTING TUESDAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Anticipation of an Indian prime minister’s first visit to Canada in 42 years is building as fans and foes of Narendra Modi see him as either a rock star of economic development that could benefit both countries or a suppressor of minority rights. Modi’s three-day trip starting Tuesday is being billed by the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office as an opportunity to broaden the trade relationship involving education, energy and science and technology. Modi, who swept to power last May as leader of the Hindu nationalist party, will attend official meetings in Ottawa before giving a speech at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto and then visiting both Sikh and Hindu temples in Vancouver and Surrey, B.C. Balpreet Singh, spokesman for the World Sikh Organization of Canada, said the group is calling on Modi to address escalating attacks on minorities including Christians and Muslims in India. The group also wants the two governments to address attempts to marginalize Canadian Sikhs as extremists and denial of visas for Sikhs in Canada. Jatinder Singh Grewal of Sikhs For Justice said the group has asked Attorney General Peter MacKay to start legal proceedings against Modi, who was a chief minister in the Indian state of Gujarat in 2002, when minorities including Sikhs and Muslims were killed in riots. “People of that calibre do not have the right to enter the free world,” Grewal said, noting the United States denied Modi a visa in 2005 for his alleged role in the riots though he was later cleared by a court and invited to the U.S. last fall. During a rousing speech at Madison
Square Garden in New York last year, Modi was hailed as a hero whose policies could jump-start the economy of the world’s largest democracy while benefiting international partners. Protesters outside denounced Modi for human rights violations and Grewal said his group will do the same in Toronto, where Modi is slated to visit a monument honouring 329 victims of the Air India bombing in 1985 and at his visits to the B.C. temples. Grewal said Sikhs for Justice has called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ask Modi to hold a referendum to create an independent homeland carved out of the Indian state of Punjab. He said 15,000 Sikhs across Canada have signed petitions for the referendum, which would be held internationally in 2020 and allow Sikhs from around the world to move to their indigenous state, develop their own economy beyond its agricultural roots and live without fear of persecution. Grewal, who is 36 and was born in Canada, said the separatist state that may be called Khalistan would be a draw for Sikhs, similar to Jews who have chosen to move to Israel from elsewhere and retain dual citizenship. “It’s our legal right under international law to have the right to self-determination as defined in the United Nations,” he said. V.I. Lakshmanan, chairman for the non-partisan Canada India Foundation, which fosters public policy and a stronger relationship between the two countries, said Modi’s visit could enhance economic and cultural opportunities for both democracies. “Beyond the economy, in terms of the global village how the two democracies can come together can be very helpful,” he said.

He said the RCMP are doing security checks on the 700 applicants but that only about 300 people will be selected. Hayer said Modi will also visit the temple’s exhibit of the Komagata Maru incident of May 1914, when the Canadian government denied entry to 376
McEwen Mining promises to turn mine into Fort Knox BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The chief executive of McEwen Mining is beefing up security at the Canadian company’s mine refinery in Mexico to make it as “impenetrable” as Fort Knox after a band of masked gunmen made off with $8.5 million in gold. “Everybody’s a bit rattled by this,” said Rob McEwen, recalling the earlymorning heist at the company’s El Gallo 1 mine on Tuesday. “It’s left people feeling vulnerable.” Three of the mine’s security staff were driving to work in two separate cars when they were pulled over a short distance from the refinery by a crew of eight heavily armed robbers, McEwen said. The gunmen bound and blindfolded the workers, taking their keys, identification, cellphones and cash. “Somehow they knew who they were and had staked out an area and waited for them,” said McEwen. The robbers loaded the workers into a car and drove to the mine, where they entered through a back gate.
MEXICO They apprehended several more people in order to get access to all of the keys needed to get through the security gates and armoured doors at the site. “Everybody they captured was bound and blindfolded,” said McEwen. Victims who were wearing baseball caps had their hats pulled down over their faces and duct-taped in place. McEwen said the robbers had a good sense of the refinery’s layout, as well as exactly which individuals had the keys that would allow them to get through certain gates. “They seemed to be quite wellprepared,” McEwen said. Gerard Vargas Landeros, the interior minister of Mexico’s western Sinaloa state, where the facility is located, said the heist was most likely an inside job by either current or former employees. The burglars loaded small parcels of gold concentrate — black powder that is melted in a furnace and made into partially refined gold bars — onto
the back of a heavy-duty pickup truck and drove away, McEwen said. In total, they made off with 900 kilograms of concentrate, containing roughly 7,000 ounces of gold. McEwen said the company is “very thankful” that no one was hurt during the incident. But he noted that the heist traumatized some workers and cast a shadow over what’s otherwise been a good year for the facility. “We had a great first quarter and the second quarter was going great,” he said. “Grades were up sharply, production was up, and then this happens.” The Toronto-based and TSX-listed miner still expects to produce 50,000 ounces of gold this year. Local authorities are investigating, and McEwen said the government has been supportive. “They’re saying: ’We’re going to get your gold back,”’ he said.
passengers, mostly Sikhs, who were forced to returned to India aboard the steamship. Vancouver police Sgt. Randy Fincham said the department has been working with the RCMP to prepare for Modi’s visit, which includes a dinner with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Indira Gandhi was the last Indian prime minister to visit Canada in 1973 when Pierre Trudeau was Canada’s prime minister.

BRIEF Big business issues plea for companies to do more workplace training OTTAWA — Canada’s largest companies want employers to put more emphasis on training and making sure their employees’ skills are up to date. The Canadian Council of Chief Executives is using a conference in Ottawa on Monday to kick off what it hopes will be a national discussion on the importance of employers developing their workers’ skills. The effort is being spearheaded by Elyse Allan, the President and CEO of GE Canada. Allan says Canadian employers must do more to ensure Canadian workers have the education and skills to find and hold down good jobs. She says training is a valuable tool for employers to recruit and keep skilled workers. The council notes a recent Conference Board of Canada study that suggested the average Canadian employer only spends about two-thirds as much as U.S. companies on employee training and education. Canada’s largest companies are also looking at ways to help young Canadians make the jump from the classroom to the workplace.
Some useful tax tips for seniors The demographics say it all: the population of Canada is getting older. According to Statistics Canada, there are more than 5.3 million people in the country 65 or older, accounting for about 15.3 per cent of the population. Baby boomers now make up 29 per cent of the Canadian population. For seniors who have spent their lives TALBOT working and contributing to BOGGS the Canadian economy there are a number of tax strategies and benefits available to help them save more of their hard-earned money in retirement. One of the most advantageous tax strategies available is pension income splitting. Generally, Canadians pay taxes on their total income. Income splitting refers to the act of transferring the income from a person in a higher income tax bracket to a person in a lower tax bracket.
MONEYWISE
Pension income splitting allows for the transfer of up to 50 per cent of eligible pension income from one spouse or common-law partner to another. The definition of eligible pension income for those under the age of 65 is much narrower than for those 65-plus. For those under 65, the incomesplitting rules generally only apply to income from registered pension plans. For seniors older than 65, eligible income sources generally include a registered pension plan, registered retirement income fund (RRIF), a locked-in RRIF (including a LIF, LRIF, PRIF and RLIF), a life annuity from an RRSP or deferred profit-sharing plan, or the income portion of a non-registered annuity. Income from old age security (OAS) and the Canada and Quebec pension plans (CPP/QPP) do not qualify. Income splitting can be used to reduce the income of the higher income spouse and thereby reduce or eliminate clawbacks such as the OAS clawback, which in 2014 begins when net income reaches a threshold of $71,592. “The benefits from pension income splitting for seniors can be huge,” said Aurele Courcelles, director of tax and estate planning with Investors Group. “The rules can be rather complex and sometimes there is confusion about which income qualifies, but the tax savings can be significant, particularly in cases where the income gap be-
tween the two parties is large. “Just be sure to consider the impact that income splitting can have on income-tested benefits and credits for both spouses.” Seniors and other Canadians who report qualifying pension and/or annuity income on their tax return may be eligible to claim a non-refundable pension income credit against their taxes payable. The federal credit is available on up to $2,000 of qualified pension income annually (provincial amounts vary) while the amounts that qualify are the same as those that qualify for pension income splitting. If you and your spouse/common-law partner are both at least 60 you can share your CPP and QPP benefits. You have to apply for this benefit. Pension sharing allows for the tax liability to be spread between the two partners but will not impact the overall pension amount paid from CPP. Seniors over the age of 65 with a net income of less than $80,980 for 2014 can claim the age credit. If you’re net income was $34,873 or less, you would qualify for a full $6,916 federal amount, upon which the credit is calculated. If you earn between $34,873 and $89,980, you have to calculate your claim yourself on your tax return (provincial amounts and thresholds vary). For many people, medical expenses increase as they grow older. Be sure

to keep track of all your medical expenses. If they exceed the lesser of $2,171 (for 2014) and three per cent of your net income, you could be eligible for the federal medical expense credit of 15 per cent of expenses that exceed the threshold (provincial thresholds and credit rates vary.) If you suffer from a severe or prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions, you may be eligible for the disability tax credit that might reduce the amount of tax you pay to help offset some of the costs of dealing with impairment. And of course there now is the taxfree savings account (TFSA), which lets seniors and other Canadians, contribute money each year and grow those savings tax-free, even after the age of 71 when they have to convert their RRSPs into a RRIF. The total cumulative contribution limit for 2014 was $31,000 and has grown to $36,500 for 2015. “There are lots of opportunities for Canadian seniors to save on taxes and take advantage of credits, benefits and savings accounts to generate more money for their retirement years,” said Courcelles. 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.

Five things to watch in Canadian business this week BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week: Shaw results: Cable TV and broadcasting company Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX:SJR.B) will report its second-quarter financial results on Tuesday, offering a glimpse at whether the slowing economy in Western Canada is having an impact on the number of subscribers for its cable bundles and wireless packages. Interest rates: On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada announces its decision on what to do with its bench-setting interest rate, as well as its quarterly update on the Canadian economy. Housing: Also on Wednesday, Canadian existing home sales figures for March are released. It’s estimated that sales will in-
crease seven per cent over the same period last year, while average home prices will soar eight per cent, fuelled mostly by the piping hot Toronto and Vancouver housing markets. The Canada MLS home price index will also be unveiled with an estimated increase of five per cent over last year. Manufacturing: Weakness in Canada’s economy is expected to show through in the February manufacturing shipments, due Wednesday, as a slowdown in the auto sector is likely to weigh down overall factory output. Retail activity: A slump in consumer spending, which dragged from the holiday season into January, could finally be over as consumers returned to stores with more cash to spend amid a drop in gasoline prices. Still, February retail trade figures, out Friday, are expected to be affected by lacklustre auto sales.

In this June 19, 2007 file photo, wheat straw and dust blow from the back of a combine harvesting the grain in a field near Mullinville, Kansas. The maker of Kleenex and Scott brand products is unveiling a line of tissues and towels this month aimed at its commercial customers that will incorporate wheat straw and bamboo, a move the company hopes will provide a rapidly renewable source of fiber that will also give farmers a new market for the plant residue left behind after the grain is harvested.

to farmers who are able to sell their straw to one of these companies,” Harries said. Kimberly-Clark began exploring the use of wheat straw back in 2011 and test marketed its prototype products in Canada, Indiana and California before deciding on a full-scale rollout this year, Schumacher said. The straw will be turned into pulp at its mill in Mobile, Alabama. Its “GreenHarvest” line includes Scott multi-fold towels and toilet tissue using 20 per cent wheat straw fiber and Kleenex roll towels and bathroom tissue using 20 per cent bamboo fiber. The products will not be sold at retail stores, but will be offered directly to commercial customers such as sports venues and higher education institutions, Schumacher said. The company’s consumer side will be keeping a close eye on how well it does there, she said. Brian Dunn, who has a diversified farm near St. John in western Kansas, said he sold Kimberly-Clark 150 tons of straw — about six semi-truck loads of it — about two years ago when the company first started researching the product. “I’ve got young boys now that maybe someday, I hope, will have the opportunity to farm and we always try to find something else that might add value to our farm. ... I am always interested in new technology and new things, and so it was something interesting we could do, too, as part of our farming operation,” he said. But last year the drought left his wheat so short that he just plowed what little straw there was back into the soil, and it is so dry this season that he doesn’t anticipate having any excess straw to sell this year, either. David Kreider, a custom harvester in Metter, Georgia, said he bales straw from about 20 farms which he then sells to Kimberley-Clark for between $80 and $90 a ton, the going market price for it.

Russian film directors aim for chain to challenge Western fast food BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — Two of Russia’s bestknown movie directors are aiming to create a chain of fast-food restaurants that would be an alternative to Western-style operations such as McDonald’s. The move by Nikita Mikhalkov and Andrei Konchalovsky, who are brothers, comes amid growing animosity toward the West, especially the United States, over the conflict in Ukraine. But even before those tensions emerged, many Russians watched uneasily as Western fast-food outlets spread vigorously. Mikhalkov and Konchalovsky proposed the project, called “Eat at Home,” in a letter to President Vladimir Putin last month that said the goal was “the creation of an alternative to Western fast-food chains,” the newspaper Kommersant reported. The business news agency RBC reported Thursday that the government will back a bank loan of 680 million rubles ($13 million) for the project. Mikhalkov gained international recognition with the 1994 film “Burnt by the Sun,” which won the 1994 Academy Award for best foreign film. In recent years he has been a vocal supporter of Putin. Konchalovsky spent years in the United States and his Hollywood films include “Tango and Cash.” They are sons of Sergei Mikhalkov, who wrote both the lyrics for the Soviet national anthem, and for the Russian national anthem when the Soviet-era

music was restored in 2001. As tensions with the United States grew in the Ukraine crisis, several McDonald’s outlets were temporarily closed on the grounds of health violations, including the vast unit on Moscow’s Pushkin Square that had been a huge sensation when it was the first of the company’s restaurants in the Soviet Union. After the USSR’s collapse, many other Western fast-food chains entered the Russian market, aiming to tap pent-up consumer demand. Although some local chains have established strong operations, foreign chains such as KFC, Burger King and Cinnabon are widespread in shopping-centre food courts. Konchalovsky said the idea of starting a fast-food chain had been percolating in his mind for years, but that the Western sanctions imposed against Russia over Ukraine solidified his concept. However, he denied suggestions that the chain aimed to supplant Western fast food. “We don’t intend to ruin anyone,” he said, according to the RIA Novosti news agency. “That would be the same as fighting with Hollywood, fighting with McDonald;s.” McDonald’s operation in Russia regarded the plans with outward equanimity. “There’s big potential in the food market in our country. And it’s good that more choices will appear for people,” the Tass news agency quoted a McDonald’s spokesperson as saying. products company sparked outrage by tweeting “where’s the bleach” in reference to last week’s introduction of new “emoji” cartoons for iPhones that include several faces of people with black and brown skin. The maker of Clorox bleach and other products says it was attempting a humorous reference to other emoji symbols for objects like toilets and bathtubs that people use bleach to clean. But the corporate Twitter post hit a nerve when news reports and online discussions were focusing on the new collection of racially diverse faces that have been added to the symbols people can use in emails and text messages. “I didn’t think it was malicious, but impact negates intent. This is someone being thoughtless, and really not focused on what was trending that day,” said Jazzmen Knoderer, a 29-year-old program co-ordinator at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

ing that she has power over the family’s decisions. Let your parents discuss it with her and deal with the fallout. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Baffled in Boston,” the recently widowed woman whose longtime dear friends are now advising her on everything, despite the widow’s competence. She first needs to understand that there has been a change in her relationship with these friends. They’re not accustomed to dealing with an adult who lacks a partner, so they are treating her like a child. She needs to show them that the loss of her husband didn’t turn her into a 5-year-old. She should go line dancing, join a political group, teach a class or take up skydiving — do something adult that she enjoys, and talk about it when her friends are with her and offer to share it with them. Ask them about their activities.
Ebola outbreak is still a global emergency despite big drop in cases
Deputies put on leave in violent California arrest of man fleeing on horse A California sheriff has placed 10 deputies on paid administrative leave after news video recorded a violent arrest that he says appeared to be excessive force. San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon announced the action in the aftermath of the arrest of 30-year-old Francis Pusok, who fled by car and then on a stolen horse when deputies tried to serve a search warrant in an identity-theft investigation Thursday. McMahon says an internal investigation has begun on the use of force. In addition, two
be real, rather than just “a pothole on the bumpy road to get to zero cases.” To date, Ebola is estimated to have infected more than 25,500 people and killed 10,587, mostly in West Africa. During a press briefing in Geneva on Friday, Aylward said WHO’s Ebola emergency committee believes the risk of the virus spreading globally appears to be dropping even though officials still don’t know where the virus is spreading. “We are still not controlling the epidemic,” said Brice de le Vingne, director of operations for Doctors Without Borders, who noted past lulls in the outbreak have often been followed by surges in cases. He said the designation of Ebola as a global emergency is also necessary to speed up paperwork for the ongoing experimental drug and vaccine trials in West Africa.
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — The World Health Organization says the year-long Ebola outbreak in West Africa still qualifies as an international emergency even though the number of cases has plummeted. Last August, the U.N. health agency declared the epidemic of the lethal virus to be a global emergency after the deaths of nearly 1,000 people, mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. At the peak last year, hundreds of new cases were being reported every week. In an update this week, WHO reported there were 30 cases last week in Guinea and Sierra Leone; the last case in Liberia died on March 27. Dr. Bruce Aylward, who is leading WHO’s Ebola response, said the decline appeared to

criminal investigations have begun — one into Pusok’s actions and the other into the deputies actions. The sheriff says he was “disturbed and troubled” by what he saw in the video recorded by a KNBC-TV helicopter crew.
Help them to see that adults can live alone and remain competent, and that her widowhood has not changed her into anything less. Chances are that one of these people will face the same loss someday. If “Baffled” can show them how to continue on before they need to face that time, they will probably find it easier to accept her widowhood without fear. — Someone Who Has Spent a Lot of Adult Years Alone Dear Someone: There is a great deal of wisdom in what you say. And we think it’s a terrific idea for her to share her activities with them, letting them see how well she is managing on her own. Thanks.

In February 1952 Ada was joined in marriage to her beloved Alfred John Sanders. To their union four daughters were born; Patricia, Linda, Joy, and Christine.

GRAHAM C. Roy Graham of Red Deer passed away peacefully in Edmonton on April 7, 2015 at the age of 77 years. It was unexpected and very sudden. Roy was born February 20, 1938 in Brandon, MB. His childhood years were spent in Ninette, MB, Brandon and on his uncles’ and grandparents’ farms in the Wawanesa, MB area. Roy married Gail Truss of Brandon in 1956. From this union he had 2 daughters and a son. He moved to Alberta in 1964, working on a farm in the Bentley area. Over the years he worked a variety of jobs until he found his niche in sales, beginning with cars and ending with oilfield servicing. Roy had a natural ability to connect and communicate with people from all walks of life, which made him successful. In 2007, he retired to Saskatchewan to be closer to his daughters. However, missing “God’s Country”- Alberta, he moved to Red Deer in 2012, living in the Waskasoo Estates Park until the time of his passing. Roy loved his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, having a passion to know Him and His presence more. Roy loved being a part of his church family at Frontline Worship Centre in Sylvan Lake. He loved attending and helping out at Frontline conferences held throughout the year, but he especially loved being with his children, family and many dear friends. Roy had a tremendous sense of humour and over the years got much enjoyment from the practical jokes he played on his family and co-workers. Roy will be sorely missed by all who knew him, especially his children who loved him dearly. We know that he is now totally healed and at peace in Heaven, reunited with his mom and dad, along with all who have gone before him. We look forward to the day we will see him again! Roy will be lovingly remembered by his son, Greg Graham of Innisfail; daughters, Kim (Dan) Libke and Kelli (Leonard) Beaucage, both of North Battleford, SK; grandson, Logan Graham of Penhold; brother, Garry (Diana) Graham of Sorrento, BC; as well as many cousins and family members - along with the wonderful friends he made over the years. Roy is predeceased by his mother, Florence Graham (nee Firby); and father, Orval Christopher Graham. A Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at Red Deer Funeral Home, 6150 - 67 Street, Red Deer, Alberta with Pastor Peter Nash of Frontline Worship Centre and Pastor Leonard Beaucage officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Roy’s honour may be made directly to Frontline Worship Centre (www.frontlineministries-int.com) or to Iris Ministries (www.irismin.ca). Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.reddeerfuneralhome.com. Arrangements entrusted to RED DEER FUNERAL HOME 6150 - 67 Street, Red Deer. Phone (403) 347-3319.

Hillary Clinton jumps back into presidential politics WILL FOCUS ON MIDDLE-CLASS ECONOMICS standing effort to improve in women’s rights. “I would expect Hillary Clinton if she believes in women’s rights, she should be calling for a boycott of Saudi Arabia,” Paul said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” ”Instead, she’s accepting tens of millions of dollars.“ Clinton is the first Democrat to get into the race, but there are some lower-profile Democrats considering challenging her, including former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee. The party’s nominee will have to overcome history to win election. In the last half-century, the same party has held the White House for three consecutive terms only once, during the administrations of Republicans Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. The 2016 campaign is likely to be the most expensive in history, with total spending on both sides expected to well exceed the $1 billion spent four years ago. This weekend, Clinton campaign fundraisers escalated their outreach to Democratic donors, who largely back her bid, with a flurry of phone calls urging them to donate as soon as possible. Clinton’s formal entrance into the race also triggered the start of more aggressive fundraising by Democratic outside “Super PAC” groups, like Priorities USA Action, who have been reorganized to promote her campaign.

In this Jan. 8, 2008 photo, supporters cheer as Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., takes the stage in Manchester, N.H. after her Democratic primary win in the state. “A campaign is like the world’s longest job interview, and even though most of us like to think that we’re being our natural selves when we interview for a new job, it’s only human nature to self-edit ourselves and try to make the best possible impression,” says Schnur, director of the University of Southern California’s political institute. relationships with our allies and emboldened our enemies.” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who launched his presidential campaign last week, also pointed to the Clinton family’s foundation, which has drawn criticism from Republicans for raising money from foreign governments. Paul said it was hypocritical for the foundation to accept money from Saudi Arabia, which places public restrictions on the movement and activity of women, while Clinton carries forward with her long-
Video shows IS militants bombing ruins at ancient Iraqi city of Nimrud BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Islamic State militants hammered, bulldozed and ultimately blew up parts of the ancient Iraqi Assyrian city of Nimrud, destroying a site dating back to the 13th century B.C., an online militant video purportedly shows. The destruction at Nimrud, located near the militant-held city of Mosul, came amid other attacks on antiquity carried out by the group now holding a third of Iraq and neighbouring Syria in its self-declared caliphate. The attacks have horrified archaeologists and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who last month called the destruction at Nimrud “a war crime.” The seven-minute video, posted late Saturday, shows bearded militants using sledgehammers, jackhammers and saws to take down huge alabaster reliefs depicting Assyrian kings and deities. A bulldozer brings down walls, while militants fill barrels with explosives and later destroy three separate areas of the site in massive explosions. “God has honoured us in the Islamic State to remove all of these idols and statutes worshipped instead of Allah in the past days,” one militant says in the video. Another militant vows that “whenever we seize a piece of land, we will remove signs of idolatry and spread monotheism.” The militants have been destroying ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violate their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law, including the ancient Iraqi city of Hatra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Authorities also believe they’ve sold others on the black market to fund their atrocities. Some of the figures in the video released Saturday at Nimrud appeared to have rebar, ribbed bars of steels designed to reinforce concrete that are a technique of modern building. An Iraqi Antiquities
Ministry official, speaking Sunday on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to talk to journalists, said all the items at Nimrud were authentic. In March, both Iraqi and United Nations officials warned the site had been looted and damaged. The video conformed to other Associated Press reporting about the militants’ attack. The Assyrians first rose around 2,500 B.C. and at one point ruled over a realm stretching from the Mediterranean coast to what is present-day Iran. They left dozens of palaces and temples decorated with huge reliefs mainly depicting their kings’ military campaigns and conquests, hunting lions and making sacrifices to the gods. Their main hallmark was the colossal winged man-headed lions or bulls, protective deities put at the entrances of palaces and temples weighing about 10-30 tons each. Located on the eastern side of the Tigris River, Nimrud, or Kalhu, was founded in the 13th century B.C. During the reign of King Ashurnasirpal II, Nimrud served as the second capital for Assyrian Empire. Other Assyrian capitals were Ashur, Dur Sharrukin and Ninevah. Excavations at Nimrud were first started by the British traveller and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard from 1845 to 1851, followed by other foreign and local excavation missions. The city is surrounded by a four-side wall measuring 8 kilometres long. Among the ruins are the grand palace of Ashurnasirpal II, as well as the temples of Nabu, the god of writing and the arts, and other temples.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped back into presidential politics on Sunday, as a top adviser announced her much-awaited second campaign for the White House. John Podesta, a top adviser to Clinton, told alumni of her first presidential campaign in an email: “It’s official: Hillary’s running for president.” If elected, Clinton would become the first woman to serve in the Oval Office. Clinton enters the race in a strong position to succeed her rival from the 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama. Her message will focus on strengthening economic security for the middle class and expanding opportunities for working families. The campaign is portraying her as a “tenacious fighter” who can get results and work with Congress, business and world leaders. Clinton’s strategy, described ahead of the announcement by two senior advisers who requested anonymity to discuss her plans, has parallels to the approach Obama took in 2012. He framed his re-election as a choice between Democrats focused on the middle class and Republicans who sought to protect the wealthy and return to policies that led the country into recession. Clinton will face pressure from the progressive wing of her party to adopt a more populist economic message focused on income inequality. Some liberals remain skeptical of Clinton’s close ties to Wall Street donors and the centrist economic policies of her husband’s administration. They have urged her to back tougher financial regulations and tax increases on the wealthy. “It would do her well electorally to be firmly on the side of average working people who are working harder than ever and still not getting ahead,” said economist Robert Reich, a former labour secretary during the Clinton administration who has known Hillary Clinton for nearly five decades. The GOP did not wait for her announcement to begin their campaign against her. The party’s chairman, Reince Priebus, has outlined plans for a broad effort to try to undermine her record as secretary of state while arguing that her election would be like giving Obama a “third term.” Republicans have jumped on Clinton’s use of a personal email account and server while she was secretary of state, as well as her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in his own online video, said Sunday: “We must do better than the Obama-Clinton foreign policy that has damaged

Furious 7 keeps speed TOPS BOX OFFICE WITH $60.6M BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The high-octane thriller Furious 7 maintained speed in its second week, racing away with $60.6 million at North American theatres and bringing its box-office total to a robust $252.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Universal’s Furious 7 more than lapped the competition. The only new wide release of the weekend, the rodeo romance The Longest Ride, opened with $13.5 million. That was good enough for third place for the Fox release, which stars Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott Eastwood. In second was the DreamWorks animated alien adventure Home, which pulled in $19 million in its third week of release. But Furious 7 continued to dominate the marketplace, dropping only 59 per cent from its remarkable $147.2 million debut last weekend. Globally, it has already crossed $800 million in its first two weeks of release, according to Universal. The weekend international total — an eye-popping $195 million — was boosted by the film premiering in China on Sunday, where it earned an estimated $68.6 million in just one day. Over 10 days, Furious 7, which prominently features a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker, has already outgrossed all previous installments of the 14-year-old franchise. At its current pace, Furious 7 will likely become the highest grossing film in Universal’s history. The studio’s Jurassic Park from 1993, holds Universal’s mark with $1.02 billion worldwide. It’s a summer blockbuster-sized re-

On a much smaller scale, the critically acclaimed sci-fi film Ex Machina drew the year’s largest theatre average of $62,489 in four theatres. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian
theatres, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. Furious 7, $60.6 million ($195 million international). 2. Home, $19 million ($15.2 million international).
3. The Longest Ride, $13.5 million. 4. Get Hard, $8.6 million. 5. Cinderella, $7.2 million. 6. The Divergent Series: Insurgent, $6.9 million. 7. Woman in Gold, $5.9 million. 8. It Follows, $2 million. 9. Danny Collins, $1.6 million. 10. While We’re Young, $1.4 million.
Film and TV tax credits targeted by cash-strapped provinces Marc Almon, chairman of Screen Nova Scotia, says this approach will make it impossible for producers to secure financing. “That means we’re no longer competitive with any jurisdiction in North America,” he said in an interview. “It provided the bedrock of your financing. Now the bedrock is gone.” When Saskatchewan dropped its refundable tax credit in 2012, the industry shrivelled to nothing, Almon says, citing an October 2012 report that says the province’s Chamber of Commerce concluded that the decision to cut the credit was based on flawed data. Almon says it also makes no sense to cut Nova Scotia’s credit now that the
slumping value of the Canadian dollar is attracting more American productions to Canada. Stephen Selznick, a Toronto-based lawyer who acts as a consultant for film and TV producers, says the refundable tax credit system, which includes a federal component, is expensive but it works. “There’s a great deal of competition among the provinces,” he says. “But this is a huge drain on the tax system — good incentive or otherwise — when governments are trying to balance budgets.” Ontario and Quebec have both come forward with proposals to scale back their assistance.

HALIFAX — Camera operator Andrew Stretch remembers the day in 2013 when a campaigning politician looked into his camera lens and promised to help create jobs that would allow more young people to stay and work in Nova Scotia. The politician was Stephen McNeil, now the province’s premier. Stretch says McNeil broke his word last week when he tabled a budget measure that effectively kills a tax credit that most other provinces are still offering the film and TV industry. “I used the skills I learned working in the film industry to help you spread your word,” Stretch says in an open letter released Friday, a day after the province cut by 75 per cent a refundable tax credit that production companies have used for 20 years to finance their work. “I continue to work as a professional in the film industry and as you’re aware, your government is on the verge of threatening my livelihood as well as that of thousands of close friends — hard-working, taxpaying and, for the most part, young Nova Scotians.” Stretch, who works in Halifax on the supernatural drama series “Haven,” says he studied film in England but chose to return home to Nova Scotia 12 years ago to be close to his family and take advantage of what has become a burgeoning film industry. Screen Nova Scotia, the industry’s
advocacy group, says the refundable tax credit cost the government $24 million in 2013-14, generating $139 million in spending on film and TV productions and supporting 2,700 jobs. The government says its analysis of the program shows the value of production associated with the credit amounted to only $66.8 million in 201314, generating $39.4 million in salaries and wages. The existing refundable tax credit offers producers a basic rebate on 50 per cent of qualifying labour costs. Productions shot outside of the Halifax area can get an additional 10 per cent off, and another five per cent is available for a third film shot in Nova Scotia over a two-year period. The potential 65 per cent rebate is one of the highest in Canada, but it isn’t unusual. Every other province except P.E.I., Saskatchewan and Alberta offer some form of refundable tax credit and bonuses to entice TV and film producers. But the premier says Nova Scotia’s offering is too rich for a province struggling to balance its books. “I understand why people affected by the change are not happy,” he said Friday. “We don’t have the capacity to write a blank cheque.” The government says that for every dollar it spends on the tax credit, it receives less than 25 cents in taxes. Under the new rules, 75 per cent of the refundable tax credit will been transformed into a regular tax credit, which means it can only be applied against taxable income.
