JUMPING FOR HEART
PROVINCIAL ELECTION
Getting inside voters’ heads When you try and get inside a Red Deer voter’s brain — just like trying to predict the outcome of the May 5 provincial election — well, it’s kind of complicated. That may have a lot to do with what a smart bunch Red Deerians truly are — so the totally unscientific but random task of talking to people to measure local election sentiment is just not tallying the yeas or nays for any of the brave souls who appear on the ballot. What’s it going to be — status quo, or something unheard of in 43 years, change? For the record, that’s how MARY-ANN long Red Deer has been ProBARR gressive Conservative. In 1971, when Peter Lougheed’s PCs swept the province, James Foster won Red Deer, then a single constituency. Red Deer was split into the current North and South constituencies for the 1986 election. This particular batch of conservatives has never looked back since 1971, but if current political polls are any sort of indicator, they may be hearing the pitter-patter of other-party footsteps close behind, or slightly ahead of them. We do know already there will be some change. The MLAs for Red Deer North and Red Deer South, both Progressive Conservatives, Mary Anne Jablonski and Cal Dallas, have decided not to seek re-election in Alberta’s 29th provincial general election. During a toodle around the city on a very windy Wednesday, I talked to a number of Red Deerians about the election. Some are already decided but most who are planning to vote, are undecided. One person will deliberately not vote while another would like to vote but won’t be able to. Here’s how it went. Amanda West is a 31-year-old medical lab technologist who works part time at the hospital. She has four children (two pre-schoolers, and two in elementary school). Her husband is a teacher. She has been paying close attention to the election campaign. Education is a big issue for her. “More the issues for me are people not realizing either we have to pay more for what we’re getting or get less services. “I think it’s funny that people think they should get exactly what we have and not pay anything more for it. For me it’s actually frustrating hearing people.” She does not know how she is going to vote yet but “I know I’ll change my vote” from previous elections. She does think this election is different.

Numbers dominate as leaders woo Albertans during debate BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice traded barbs with NDP Leader Rachel Notley — mock commiserating with her that “math is hard” — and literally turned his back on Brian Jean of the Wildrose in a flinty debate Thursday night. Numbers dominated the theme as the leaders attacked one another’s plans to balance the budget, fix large classroom sizes and reduce long health-care wait lists. At one point, Prentice misstated that the NDP wanted to raise Alberta’s 10 per cent corporate tax rate to 20 per cent instead of the 12 per cent outlined in the NDP budget plan. “What are you talking about, our proposed corporate tax rate is 12 per cent. I am not sure who is briefing you,” Notley interjected. “I know that math is difficult,” Prentice said as the two leaders talked over one another. “Ten per cent to 12 per cent is a 20 per cent increase.” Notley wouldn’t let the mistake slide. “You said a 20 per cent tax ... I just need to make that clear that we are not proposing a 20 per cent

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Hitting their stride, Hannah Giannioudis, Isabelle MacPherson, Emilie Rheaume and Jenna Jervis jump rope together as Noah Andrews spins the cord on Thursday. The Ecole Camille J. Lerouge students, along with all students at the school, took part in the school’s Jump Rope for Heart event on Thursday with a goal of raising $13,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Over the past four years, the students have brought in about $40,000, which they have donated to the foundation. A small portion of these funds have then been returned to the school to support programs that promote good heart health. In the past cross country ski equipment has been purchased with these funds.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1
VOTERS: Doing research “It feels really different. And I think everyone’s shocked by how everyone’s finally responding, I think to their frustrations. I don’t think people reacted to their frustrations before but I think they are now. At least in the polls, whether it will turn up in the election or not.” She believes voters are upset “with everything that’s happened in the last four to six years with (Ed) Stelmach and (Alison) Redford.” “I think finally there’s other people around me who are also looking to make change so I feel like it’ll matter.” “I’m excited to see what will happen. I really hope there’s a high voter turnout because I think if you don’t vote you can’t complain.” Joanne Mahura, 42, works at Red Deer Minor Hockey, and says the Conservatives have her interest. “I’m going to vote.” She is interested in postsecondary school issues because her children are coming up to that age. “I think they’re doing a pretty good job,” she says of the PCs, and about their leader, Jim Prentice, “I actually think he has a lot of great qualities as a leader. I really do.” “The easy thing to do is often the popular thing. It may not be the right thing.” “I think it was time to start making some changes. It’s going to be tough.” “The people who support the Conservative party can’t just take for granted they are going to get in. I think that last time voter turnout was very low because I think a lot of people thought ‘We don’t have anything to worry about.’ “I think whoever people support they do need to get out and vote. I don’t think we can take anything for granted anymore.” Roy Kendall, 68, is retired. He is not going to vote. “I used to vote when I was in Newfoundland. It doesn’t make no difference. They’re still going to rip you off right? That’s what I figure anyway,” he says in that distinctly Newfoundlander accent. He’s been in Red Deer 10 years and was a heavy-equipment operator with Syncrude in Fort McMurray for 35 years. He says he voted in Newfoundland “because I’m a Newfie boy” but he hasn’t paid much attention to the Alberta election. Another person who won’t be voting is Brent, who did not want his last name used. The 52-year-old computer programmer said he lost faith in the process a long time ago. “As I’ve told my kids, when I can get a yes or a no response from a politician I think I’d take more interest. I think it boils down to the trust issue for me.
LOTTERIES
They say one thing, they do another. And I’m probably one of the many who has lost faith.” “I would like a true democratic process whereby an issue is presented, solutions are given, we vote on the solution, and even if we vote incorrectly, at least it’s a majority, a democratic process in which we live with. But the current state of today’s politics is such that promises are made, you go out and vote, promises are not kept, other decisions are made by higher powers ie corporate entities and whatnot, and I sort of have thrown up my arms.” So he has not voted for years, and he says instead he’s focused his time on his family. He believes that even if he had voted in the past, it wouldn’t have made a difference. Shelly Ironside, 23, works at Canadian Tire. She had been out of the country for awhile and when she came back she wondered, “Why are all these signs up?” She hasn’t had a chance to check out the candidates but she will. She has voted before. “There’s one party I definitely don’t want to vote for, I know that. I wouldn’t vote for the Conservatives.” She was in college previously and has a learning disability, and found the going tough because she said there wasn’t a lot of help for people like her. She is interested in that issue as well as those that pertain to the LGBT community. “I’m definitely going to vote. I’m undecided now.” Gina Manalastas, 51, is a new Canadian, originally from the Philippines, and will be a first-time voter in the election. She works in housekeeping at the hospital. She is excited about voting. “It’s our first time. We have no idea.” She, her husband, and three sons who are all adults, will be voting. She doesn’t know the candidates yet but has asked one of her sons to “search all the candidates and what their platforms are” to help her decide. She became a citizen a year ago. Dan Gruntman, 34, and oilpatch pipeline worker, has felt directly the impact of Alberta’s current economic troubles. He hasn’t worked for two months and says that he had to use up his money in his tax free savings account just to get by and to pay bills. “Normally I would be back to work now but nobody is doing any work right now because of the low price of oil.” He’s not unfamiliar with swings in the oilpatch. He said he had to declare bankruptcy in 2009 because of the recession. Fortunately, the father of two school-age children has just been called back to work and will be heading north in a few days. “I’d like to vote but ... if I don’t go to work I don’t get paid, and to take time off to go back here from up north .... I’m not going to do that.” “I have to go. It’s so feast or famine, that’s the way it is. It’s brutal.” But he does the work because he’s well paid. Advance polls won’t be open before he leaves. But if he could vote it wouldn’t be for who he has voted for in the past, the PCs.
“All I know is I’m never going to vote for PC ... after they’ve shown Albertans what they’ve been doing, which is wasting our money, so why would I want to vote for someone like that.” “I don’t really know what my other options are. I don’t think I would ever go with Liberal. I don’t want to go with NDP. I don’t really know. ... I wouldn’t want to go with Wild Rose either. There’s not much left.” “If I knew I was going to be around I would have taken the time and went online and looked at all the parties’ platforms. I would have.” Monica Andersen, 32, works in a store at Bower Place Shopping Centre. She and her husband, who works at Michener Centre, have a three-year-old daughter. “I haven’t had time to go through and actually research everybody’s platform. I don’t like watching the live events cause it just turns into squabbling and fighting. They never seem to get anything across. “I prefer to go on the party websites and see what they’re talking about and then go on to the websites for the representative for my area ... and I go and do my research.” “I will be voting. Oh yes.” None of the leaders have caught her interest yet. “The big issue for me is the Michener Centre. My husband works there. And dealing with seniors, and education. “Before the next election my daughter will be in school so I’m very concerned about that, and looking after people who can’t look after themselves.” She and her husband work opposite shifts to take care of their daughter. “We can’t afford daycare. If I was to put her in daycare my entire paycheque wouldn’t cover it. If they made child care affordable I could work full time.” She said they are concerned that somebody else is going to flip-flop on Michener Centre and they’re going to decide to close it again. “For (her husband) it’s not as much worried with his job because that kind of job is always needed, but he’s really worried about the people that are there ... that place is their entire life and to uproot them will kill them.” “Every other year I’ve voted PC but this year I will be very carefully looking at the others. Not as much the Liberals. I’m interested in the NDP and I’ll look at the Wildrose.” It seems to me right now ... all the parties, their core philosophies will stay the same but I think they’re trying to adapt and realize the world and the public as it is now is not what it was 20 years ago when everybody voted Conservative. That’s what we did. “People are starting to pay attention and I think the politicians are starting to realize we’re listening.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Medical pot shop rules irk Ottawa VANCOUVER — The federal government is telling the City of Vancouver it does not have the authority to legitimize pot with its proposal to regulate “illegal” medical marijuana dispensaries. Health Minister Rona Ambrose sent a letter to Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson on Thursday saying she was “deeply concerned” by the city’s plans to discuss regulation at an upcoming council meeting. “Marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine, and Health Canada does not endorse its use,” reads the letter obtained by The Canadian Press. “Legitimizing and normalizing the use and sale of marijuana can have only one effect: increasing marijuana use and addiction.” City staff will present a report to council on Tuesday recommending regulating the booming medical pot

DEBATE: Prentice, Notley dominate “I didn’t mean that in any meanspirited way whatsoever,” he said. Notley went on the attack during the debate, painting Jean and Prentice as two peas in the same conservative pod given that late last year, most of the Wildrose caucus, including thenleader Danielle Smith, quit to join Prentice. “Albertans, do you really believe that you can trust either of these two to bring about the kind of change that you are looking for in your province today?” Notley asked. The debate came in the third week of a campaign that has polls putting the Wildrose, NDP, and the Progressive Conservatives bunched together, with the Liberals a distant fourth. Vot-
industry. The rules would include a $30,000 licensing fee and require the shops to be at least 300 metres from schools, community centres and other dispensaries. In the letter, the health minister says there are serious health risks associated with smoking marijuana. She argues “normalizing” pot could mean more than tripling its use by youth. Ambrose writes that although Canadian courts have required the government to allow access to marijuana when authorized by a doctor, the law says this must be done in a controlled way. “These regulations are clear and do not provide municipalities with the authority to legitimize the commercial sale of marijuana, which remains an illegal substance,” she says. She says the government implemented the Marijuana for Medical Purposes (MMPR) regulations in June 2013 with the aim of treating marijuana like other narcotics used for medical pur-
poses. “Storefronts and dispensaries do not operate within a ’grey zone,’ and the law is clear: they are illegal.” City manager Penny Ballem said on Wednesday that the federal approach had created “greyness and confusion,” forcing the city to intervene. Earlier Thursday, Councillor Kerry Jang said the MMPR, which prevent people from growing their own marijuana, make it difficult for patients to access medicine and have created public health and safety issues. “The federal approach is ideological. The city’s approach is public health-based,” he said. “We don’t do this lightly. We’re simply responding to what the public has asked us to do, and the industry has asked us to do.” The number of dispensaries in Vancouver has multiplied from six to over 80 in under two years. Jang said the federal government has generally ignored the city’s requests to discuss the problems.
Advocates are divided on the new rules — even some within the same household. “Prince of Pot” Marc Emery called regulation cynical and unnecessary, while his wife and fellow pot activist Jodie said it’s a positive step toward legalization. “It tells the provincial and federal government, as well as other municipalities, that marijuana is here to stay. It’s worth money. There’s demand, if there’s this kind of supply,” said Jodie Emery. But the couple agreed the $30,000 fee was excessive and would likely force smaller dispensaries to close. “The city is just going for a money grab at the expense of medical marijuana patients, some of whom hardly have enough money to pay for what they’re buying now,” Marc Emery said. Jang said the city would not profit at all from the fee, which is needed to recover costs including police record checks, building inspections and processing applications.

high speed when her car went out of control, rotated clockwise and went off the road. Another woman who was a passenger was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene. The driver suffered serious injuries. Police think speed and alcohol were factors in the crash, and they’re looking for anyone who may have witnessed the accident.
cigarettes, Driscoll says vegetation ignited by off-road vehicles and ATVs are also sparking blazes. He adds the fires caused by people are the most dangerous because they are near roads and communities. Driscoll says there are currently 350 firefighters on the province’s payroll, with 150 more slated to be hired in the coming weeks. “Anywhere where the snow has left, it’s left behind a high fire hazard,” Driscoll said. “It’s left behind dry brown grass and leaves, and trees in those areas, we’re seeing if fires do start, they’re getting big fast, and there’s more fires starting.” On Wednesday, strong winds spread a grass fire to two homes near Wetaskiwin. One house was destroyed and another severely damaged.
One person dead, one injured in crash CALGARY — A woman is dead after she was ejected from a car that tumbled and rolled about 80 metres on one of Calgary’s busiest thoroughfares before slamming into a golf course. The accident happened Wednesday evening as the vehicle, driven by a 33-year-old woman, was heading south on Deerfoot Trail. Police say she was travelling at a ers go to the polls on May 5. Prentice is fighting the Wildrose particularly in rural constituencies and in Calgary, while he is facing a stiff challenge from the NDP in Edmonton. Prentice often turned his back to Jean during the debate, choosing to engage Notley. Speaking with reporters after, the Tory leader called the discussions with Notley “useful” and said with Jean, “it was clear that he was not going to respond (to my questions).” The Wildrose alternative budget would roll back tax hikes Prentice brought in right before the election. It would cuts thousands of management jobs and postpone some capital projects to balance the books by 2017. During the debate, Prentice told Jean that the Wildrose plan doesn’t add up and suggested Albertans would pay the price in cuts to services. “Jim, you’re fear-mongering. You are trying to say something that doesn’t exist,” Jean shot back. “Just answer the question, Brian,”
Fire season off to quick start EDMONTON — The fire season is off to a quick start in Alberta. Alberta Wildfire Officer Geoffrey Driscoll says there’s 15 wildfires burning in the province, four times more than at the same time last year. He says the reason is people. Besides poorly attended fires or Prentice demanded. “You have been offered the chance to answer the question three times tonight. Just answer the question.” “Page 5 of my budget clearly indicates where those cuts will come from,” Jean responded. “It’s itemized, it’s costed, it’s there.” Liberal Leader David Swann chided
Prentice and his Progressive Conservatives, in power since 1971, for wasting the billions of dollars in Alberta’s oil wealth. “What has become very clear is that this government is failing Albertans. The PCs have blown through all our resource wealth in one generation,” said Swann.

What’s the big picture? BUDGET POLICIES DON’T GIVE CANADA THE ECONOMIC SHOT IN THE ARM IT NEEDS BY CHARLES LAMMAM AND MILAGROS PALACIOS SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE In many ways Tuesday’s federal budget wasn’t all that surprising. Many of the government’s key initiatives were already announced (the so-called Family Tax Cut package) or telegraphed as part of the Conservatives’ 2011 platform (raising the Tax Free Savings Account annual contribution ceiling to $10,000). The remainder included a smattering of relatively smaller initiatives to satisfy various interest groups in advance of the federal election. What it lacked, and what Canada so desperately needed, was a robust, big-thinking budget to push Canada’s economy forward. Start with the biggest news item in the budget: the fiscal balance. Finance Minister Joe Oliver and fellow Conservative politicians had long trumpeted the return to a balanced budget this fiscal year, ending a seven-year period of consecutive deficits totalling nearly $150 billion. With an election approaching, the government’s position obviously did not waver, despite sliding oil prices
and the expectations of a weakening economy. While the Conservatives should be credited for remaining steadfast in their position to return to balance (few governments internationally and within Canada have shown the same commitment), there are reasons why the fiscal balance is far from certain. In order to achieve the $1.4 billion “surplus” in 2015-16, the government is partly relying on asset sales (including a $2.1 billion net gain from selling GM shares). This reliance on one-time revenue sources casts doubt on the balanced budget claim. In addition, the government has lowered the annual cushion in its fiscal plan relative to last year’s budget. The government had previously built in a $3-billion annual cushion to protect against unforeseen risks; the cushion was cut to $1 billion for the next three years. In light of falling projected economic growth, now is a risky time to reduce the cushion, especially with razor thin surpluses. But the real drawback with this budget is the lack of strong economic vision for Canada. While there are positive things like the announcement to expand the an-
nual room for TFSA contribution, it missed the opportunity to truly set the foundation for stronger economic growth and higher living standards for Canadians. Put simply, the policies outlined in the budget simply do not give Canada the economic shot in the arm it needs. It was last year’s budget that stated “the government’s plan to return to balanced budgets is not an end in itself, but a means to increase Canada’s economic potential, improve employment opportunities for Canadians, and raise our standard of living.” Budget 2015 does little to achieve these ends. On the revenue side, much was made about tax reductions in the budget, but the budget actually increases the federal tax burden. Specifically, tax revenues will increase from 11.4 per cent of GDP last year to 11.8 per cent in 2015-16 and to 11.9 per cent in 2016-17. To help weather the cloud of uncertainty hovering over the Canadian economy, the government could have undertaken a variety of pro-growth reforms. For instance, it could have enacted broad-based tax reform in the form of lower personal income tax rates to
improve Canada’s competitiveness and strengthen our economy by encouraging productive activity like increased work effort, saving, investment and entrepreneurship. And the fiscal room for such reform could have been achieved by cleaning up the tax code and doing away with several boutique tax credits, which increasingly populate our tax system and make it complex. Alternatively, the Conservatives could have reduced capital gains taxes, which apply to the sale of assets when the selling price exceeds the original purchase price. This may not be the sexiest policy topic heading into an election year, but the reality is that capital gains taxes impose enormous economic costs and bring in relatively little revenue in return (just 1.1 per cent of total federal revenues). Instead of bold, pro-growth ideas, the Conservatives choose a largely status quo and stay-the-course budget. It may not have been surprising, but it certainly wasn’t inspiring. Charles Lammam is director of fiscal studies and Milagros Palacios is senior economist at the Fraser Institute. This column was supplied by Troy Media (www.troymedia.com).

The line between politics and religion BY PETER STOCKLAND SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Before the Supreme Court’s recent Saguenay decision becomes shorthand for assaults on religious freedom in Canada, the point needs making that it is a thoughtful, fair-minded, and overall welcome ruling. As with any judgment that must walk the fraught line between faith and politics, there are some findings that should properly raise warning flags. But, in general, it seems very much of a piece with the court’s laudable work in last month’s Loyola case. True, Loyola was a victory for a private Catholic boys’ school in Montreal against the predations of the Quebec government. Saguenay was a win for an avowed atheist against a Quebec municipal council whose members insisted on prayer before their public sessions. How can the two be mentioned in the same breath save as an example of opposites attracting? Well, in both cases the court prudently but firmly checked state encroachment into the religious sphere. In both cases, the court articulated the essential principal that the state cannot privilege one religion over another, including non-religion and religion over each other. As Madame Justice Rosalie Abella put it so succinctly in Loyola: “A secular state respects religious differences,

it does not seek to extinguish them.” It follows that the religious difference to be respected rather than extinguished must include the difference of religious indifference — or even rejection of religion. The Saguenay decision insists on that respect by holding the state to a neutral position on religious belief in the context of the exercise, by state representatives, of the duties of the state. Here, by contrast, is what it does not do: It does not forbid the saying of prayers at any public function where public figures might be present. It will not keep Prime Minister Stephen Harper from ending his speeches with: “God Bless Canada.” It does not forbid the putting up of Christmas trees or decorations at city halls across the snowy land. It does not mean that Canada has become an officially atheistic state. On the contrary, in writing the unanimous decision, Justice Clément Gascon takes pains to refute the arguments of the losing side that atheism has now been given pride of place in Canadian political life. “A practice according to which a municipality’s officials, rather than reciting a prayer, solemnly declared that the council’s deliberations were based on a denial of God would be just as unacceptable,” Gascon writes. “The state’s duty of neutrality would preclude such a position, the effect of which would be to exclude all those
who believe in the existence of a deity.” There is, he emphasizes a distinction between belief, unbelief, and true neutrality. “True neutrality presupposes abstention, but it does not amount to a stand favouring one view over another.” The violation of necessary state religious neutrality by the Saguenay municipal council, the court agreed, constituted unjustifiable discrimination against resident atheist Alain Simoneau. Simoneau sought in 2006 to have it cease its practice of opening each meeting with a prayer “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” preceded and followed by all councillors making the Sign of the Cross. As Gascon wrote, the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn is that the ritual was an overtly Catholic practice. It turned the council chambers, however temporarily, from a place of public political deliberation into a house of prayer. It was definitively unreasonable, Gascon said, for the council to ask Simoneau to simply leave the chambers during the prayer if he didn’t like what was going on. While that had a superficial air of reasonable accommodation, it merely perpetuated the discrimination. More, it was inherently anti-democratic. He had a citizen’s prerogative to be present for the public portion of a meeting on the governance of his

community. He was the object, not the source, of behaviour he found objectionable. Democracy does not equate with slinking away and suffering in silence. Saguenay Mayor Jean Tremblay, who insisted on fighting Simoneau tooth-and-nail on the issue for years, acknowledged in testimony that he considered it a religious battle. “I’m in this battle because I worship Christ,” he told a Quebec Human Rights Tribunal. “When I get to the hereafter, I’m going to be able to be a little proud. I’ll be able to say to Him: ‘I fought for you. I even went to trial for you.’ ” But whether or not we find his words boastful almost to the point of blasphemy, they are clearly democratically untenable. He’s a local mayor, not a minister of the cloth. Again, as the Supreme Court’s Saguenay decision makes clear, nothing says he can’t be both. He just can’t be both at the same time while exercising public office — something, quite fittingly, that accords with Catholic canon law. Much as people of religious faith are conditioned to seeing bad news coming from the Supreme Court of Canada, the Saguenay decision is, generally speaking, a good decision, well-framed, and, it seems, worth welcoming.

A5 Killer took photos of victims
FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2015
SENT THEM TO THEIR FATHER AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
TISDALE
TISDALE, Sask. — He killed them. And then he took their photos and sent them to their father. A relative of a woman and three children murdered this week in Saskatchewan said their killer took pictures of the bodies and sent copies to the children’s biological father before taking his own life. Tim Funk, a cousin of Latasha Gosling, said Steve O’Shaughnessy was the woman’s boyfriend and that he was emotionally abusive, controlling and jealous. Gosling, 27, was separated from her husband, but not officially divorced, and had been with O’Shaughnessy, 23, for the last couple of years, Funk said. The husband often went to visit his three kids: Jenika 8, Landen, 7, and Janayah, 4. They had been living most recently with Gosling and O’Shaughnessy in a rented mobile home in Tisdale, a town of 3,200 northeast of Saskatoon. The boyfriend “didn’t like it at all” when the husband came around, Funk said. On Tuesday, the husband received the gruesome photos in a text sent to his cellphone, said Funk. It was the day before the husband’s birthday. O’Shaughnessy “sent them to him as a birthday gift.”
Funk said the husband called Mounties, who found the bodies early Wednesday in the mobile home. RCMP have confirmed that officers received a call from a family member around supper-time Tuesday, saying the woman and children hadn’t been heard from all day and couldn’t be reached. Officers obtained a search warrant for the trailer and found the four, but have not said how they were killed. The manager of the mobile home park said he was called by police that night to bring over a spare key. He saw the children’s distraught father there. Officers tracked a suspect to a home 130 kilometres away in Prince Albert. Police said the man had taken a six-month-old baby with him from the trailer. He then killed himself, but the infant was unharmed. Funk said the baby is Gosling’s youngest child and O’Shaughnessy was the father. O’Shaughnessy’s family released a statement Thursday saying he had ongoing struggles with mental health issues, but no history of violence. “We will likely never know why this senseless act occurred,” said the statement. “The Gosling family does not deserve this.”
Funk has set up a page on the fundraising website gofundme.com to collect money for funerals and build a trust fund for the baby. It had topped $41,000 by Thursday afternoon. Funk struggles to talk about what his family is going through. “None of it makes any sense.” He describes Gosling as a proud mother who took her kids to swimming and dance lessons. Her sister, Laura Gross, wrote on Facebook about how the three kids would jump on a trampoline and play on swings outside their grandparents’ home. Landen loved to wrestle with his uncle and sit on the couch playing video games, she said. Jenika was grown up for her age and wanted to look after cousins and change the littlest one’s diapers. “Janayah, you were my little chipmunk,” said Gross. “Every time you talked, you sounded like one. I loved you for that.” Tisdale might be best known as the hometown of comedian Brent Butt, who based his popular Corner Gas TV show on the community. Butt posted a message on Twitter calling the killings “very tragic and sad. Strange days.” Local hotel owner Patricia Olson felt sick to her stomach when she heard the news. She said everywhere she went Wednesday, normally outgoing and friendly residents were reserved and quiet. “There wasn’t a place or a person without tears.”
Family shares grief after guilty pleas in daughter’s murder

Accused B.C. terrorist didn’t know whose plan he was following: trial
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A series of plans proposed by a British Columbia man on trial for plotting to blow up the provincial legislature was “hokey and harebrained,” an undercover officer has told a Vancouver court. The officer, who cannot be identified, said in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday that John Nuttall’s hands were shaking nervously as he tabled his ideas that included hijacking a nuclear submarine and firing rockets at a Vancouver Island military base. Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody have pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges stemming from an elaborate police sting in 2013. In covert audio played in court on Thursday, Nuttall is heard telling the officer, who was posing as a high-ranking terrorist, that he wasn’t sure exactly whose idea it ultimately was to plant pressure-cooker bombs on the legislature grounds. “Whose plan is this?” the officer is heard asking Nuttall during a supposedly private meeting. “It’s kind of all of our plan,” replied Nuttall, referring to other undercover officers involved in the sting. “We all kind of chipped in.” When pressed further, Nuttall said it was the best they could come up with in the three days available, and that it would have been nice to have more time. The officer testifying in court played the role of the supposed terrorist leader who Nuttall had to convince to provide the C4 plastic explosives. In her cross-examination, defence lawyer Marilyn Sandford highlighted how Nuttall habitually deferred to another undercover officer, posing as an Arab businessman, for direction in how much C4 was needed. Nuttall ultimately pegged the amount at four kilograms for three pressure-cooker bombs.
HALIFAX — Miriam Saunders says she’s been overwhelmed with grief since the slaying last year of her daughter Loretta, but the Inuit woman from Labrador says she still plans to continue her daughter’s work as an advocate for murdered and missing aboriginal women. “After my grieving and healing, I plan to start doing work to prevent this from happening to any other child,” she told a news conference Thursday, a day after a couple from Halifax pleaded guilty to killing the 26-year-old university student in February 2014. “Where I come from, it’s very isolated. ... We didn’t know about things like this. It was only in the movies.” Saunders was surrounded by family members, including her husband Clayton, daughters Delilah and Audrey, son Garrett and two of her sisters. Reading from a statement, Delilah Saunders said: “Loretta may not be here today, but her legacy lives on and will continue to grow through seeking justice for all missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.”
Despite her grief, Miriam Saunders reached out to the parents of her daughter’s killers. “I can’t imagine what their parents are feeling,” she said. “I’d like to let them know I have them in my prayers.” Clayton Saunders said a huge burden was lifted from his shoulders when Blake Leggette and Victoria Henneberry pleaded guilty to murder Wednesday as their trial was starting in Nova Scotia Supreme Court. “Will I forgive those killers? I can’t find it in my heart right now,” he said in a low voice. As he was describing how his daughter was a dedicated student who loved children, he drew a deep breath, sobbed quietly and a tear rolled down the side of his weathered face. “She would go miles out of her way just to see a little child of one of her friends,” he said. “She was just a beautiful girl.” Friends of Saunders have said she was threemonths pregnant at the time of her death. “Loretta is in a better place now,” her father said. “And her baby is in a better place where they can’t be touched anymore.”

Racism fuels recruiting: French justice minister
Montrealer convicted of harassment for anti-police graffiti BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
TERRORISM
OTTAWA — The marginalization caused by racism has an alienating effect that makes people more vulnerable to terrorist recruiters, says France’s visiting justice minister. Christiane Taubira knows of what she speaks: as France’s most prominent black politician, she has faced repeated public racist slurs in her country. Taubira made it clear that she doesn’t see being discriminated against as an explanation or excuse for terrorism. “I’m not sure I want to understand the causes of terrorism,” she said in an exclusive interview Thursday at the Christiane Taubira French Embassy in Ottawa. “Terror is terror, just absolute.” But Taubira said there is a link between a young person being pushed to the margins of society and “how easy” that makes it for a terrorist to recruit them, especially using the Internet. “Because it’s so easy for (terrorists) to say, ’You will be very important because you will be very powerful, you will be able to kill, and afterwards you will be happy,”’ she said. “The link is there. It’s easy to convince young people that there is a better life in terrorism than in hoping in the society.” Taubira said being on the receiving end of some vicious racist slurs has only made her stronger. “It keeps me vigilant because I realize how violent a society is against so many people who are not as strong as I am. I’m strong because I’ve been fighting for a long time.” She said this week’s appointment of Toronto’s first black police chief, Mark Saunders, carries the sort of
symbolism that can give some young people a sense of hope. But she was quick to add: “I don’t want just one person on TV, one person in the government ... I want equality for all.” Taubira was on a visit to meet her federal counterparts in Ottawa, Justice Minister Peter MacKay and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, and will travel to Montreal on Friday. France and Canada, she said, are forging deep co-operative links in the fight against terrorism following January’s deadly terror attacks in Paris and the October killings of two Canadian soldiers in separate incidents in Ottawa and Saint-Jean-surRichelieu, Que. France, like Canada, has proposed anti-terrorism legislation. While Taubira did not comment specifically on Canada’s bill, she did emphasize the need to preserve the balance between fighting terrorism and protecting civil liberties and democratic principles. That’s been in sore spot in Canada, with the NDP, the Liberals and a variety of other critics saying that there is a lack of oversight in the anti-terrorism bill. “We do believe that what terror aims at is to show that democracy is a weak system, and we have to demonstrate that it’s a strong system,” Taubira said. “It’s not easy, because the first temptation is to surveil everyone, everywhere, every time . . . So we have to demonstrate to ourselves first, and others that we want to maintain our individual liberties.” She said the proposed French law has a built-in mechanism that protects the rights of citizens before, during and after they have been subjected to surveillance. At the same time, it also provides room for authorities to shut down websites and respond swiftly to imminent threats. Taubira said the French bill gives law enforcement “the means to work, but at the same time, make sure they are under control.”

ed in a hung jury and charges were dismissed after the third mistrial in 1990. Caplin was charged, but never tried after key evidence was excluded. The case languished for two decades, but was re-opened in 2010, when police re-interviewed witnesses and new DNA testing techniques were used. The Canadian government ordered the extraditions in 2011, but they have been under appeal since then. The Quebec Court of Appeal approved Caplin’s extradition, but blocked Barnaby’s, saying a fourth trial constituted an abuse and that the new evidence referred to by the American police was not really new.

Top court OKs extradition of two to face cold case murder charges OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has cleared the way for two Canadian men to be extradited to New Hampshire to face trial in what the Crown called the “brutal, hate-inspired murder of a lesbian couple.” The justices ruled directly from the bench after a hearing on Thursday. Anthony Barnaby and David Caplin are wanted by American authorities in a cold case investigation into the 1988 killings of Charlene Ranstrom and Brenda Warner. The two men were living in Nashua, N.H. Barnaby was tried three times in the killings, but each trial end-
MONTREAL — A woman who posted an image online of a senior Montreal police officer with a bullet in his head was convicted Thursday of criminal harassment. Jennifer Pawluck was charged in 2013 after snapping a photo of graffiti, which she didn’t draw, and uploading it to Instagram, a photo-sharing social media site. Quebec court Judge Marie-Josee Di Lallo said she had no doubt the criteria necessary to find Pawluck guilty of harassment had been met. The judge also made it clear that online behaviour can have repercussions. “We must be conscious that a simple click from a smartphone or computer, that takes just a fraction of a second, can have serious consequences,” Di Lallo said. “At a time when social media is taking more and more place in our lives, we must be even more vigilant.” Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere, one of the city’s most visible police officers and the man whose face was on the graffiti, told Pawluck’s trial the image shook him up, scared his children and caused his wife to stop working for several months. Pawluck, now 22, testified in late February she posted the snap without even knowing who Lafreniere was. She conceded the image was not “peaceful” in nature but that she’d sent it as a statement against police in general — not one officer in particular. The judge expressed skepticism about Pawluck’s claim on the identity issue, given her involvement as an activist during student demonstrations in 2012. Lafreniere is the main voice of the police force during major events and was very visible on TV during the highly charged student protests, which featured numerous clashes between authorities and demonstrators. His name was scrawled on the graffiti and his name spelled two different ways was among the hashtags added by Pawluck, including an anti-police tag acab — which stands for all cops are bastards. The judge said she felt the evidence presented was sufficient. “Seeing your face drawn, with a bullet in the head, one cannot help but feel threatened,” Di Lallo said. “And this, even if you’re a police officer.” A smirking Pawluck left the courthouse repeating ”no comment” as a friend shielded her from cameras. Her lawyer, Valerie De Guise, also declined to speak. Pawluck was charged under a summary offence, meaning the maximum sentence is six months in jail or a $5,000 fine. Sentencing arguments will take place May 14.

Canada’s honour system vital: Governor General BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
ORDER OF CANADA
OTTAWA — In an age where the Internet can make anyone famous, Canada’s official honours system is more important than ever but also needs to catch up with the times, the Governor General says. An infusion of cash in this week’s federal budget for the Order of Canada and other honours will help those awards reach more people than they do now, David Johnston said Thursday. “It may be especially important in an age of instant recognition and communication for Canadians to understand those people who over a period of time have made remarkable contributions to the leadership of our country,” Johnston said. The money, about $2.8 million more a year going into Rideau Hall’s budget, will be spent on moving the system of applications into the digital age and on proactive outreach into under-represented communities. Some of the funds will also be spent on increasing the profile of the Meritorious Service Decorations, which are awarded for specific acts, and also the creation of new honours, although no details on those have been announced.
Johnston said when it comes to the Order of Canada, two particular areas concern him: gender and regional representation. For example, women who are nominated are more likely to go on to actually be invested in the Order of Canada, he said, but there just aren’t enough nominations coming forward. Statistics later provided by his office show that of the nominations for the Order of Canada between 2010 to 2014, 27 per cent were for women and 73 per cent were for men. Women made up 33 per cent of those invested in the order and 67 per cent were men. The majority of nominations and appointments come from British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario. There are a maximum number of people who can be appointed to each of the three levels of the Order of Canada per year and that total is never reached, he said, so the funds should help, though the eligibility criteria itself won’t change. While Johnston ultimately decides who receives the honours, the names are presented to him after review by an advisory council that’s chaired by Bev-

Conservatives, Liberals battle over DND budget
Senate finance official rejected Duffy’s claim for makeup services OTTAWA — A senior Senate official says she rejected Mike Duffy’s $300 claim for a makeup artist’s services six years ago because it was a personal — not a parliamentary — expense. Nicole Proulx, head of the Senate’s finance directorate at the time, testified at the suspended senator’s fraud trial on Thursday that the “uniqueness” of the March 2009 expense claim prompted an employee to bring it to her attention. It appears Proulx had no difficulty deciding whether the services of professional makeup artist Jacqueline A. Lambert — provided for a photographic shoot of Duffy’s official Senate portrait — qualified for reimbursement. “My reaction was no,” Proulx said under questioning by Crown prosecutor Jason Neubauer. “It was personal.” Proulx, now the Senate’s chief corporate services officer, said she then contacted Duffy’s office to explain why it was not considered an appropriate expense. Proulx recalled that she spoke with a member of Duffy’s staff and asked “if she would pass on the information to Sen. Duffy so he would consider paying it himself.”

OTTAWA — Numbers compiled by the federal Liberals suggest spending on the Canadian military will hit a historic low in the coming decade, despite a planned Conservative injection of $11.8 billion starting in 2017. The party is using the traditional comparison of defence dollars measured against the overall size of the economy, which is how all nations benchmark military spending. The figures suggest that by the time the Conservative government’s budget plan is fully implemented in 2027, the country will be spending 0.89 per cent of its gross domestic product on defence. Currently, it spends roughly 1.02 per cent of GDP on the military, and is under pressure from allies — notably the Americans and British — to meet the NATO standard of two per cent. Defence Minister Jason Kenney is defending the spending plan, saying the Conservatives have rebuilt the capabilities of the military and increased the National Defence budget by 27 per cent compared to 2006 — a calculation that ignores inflation. Liberal defence critic Joyce Murray says Kenney further undermines his own credibility by not mentioning that the defence budget was cut by $2.1 billion annually in order to balance the federal books.
erley McLachlin, the chief justice of the Supreme Court. “We’re very proud of the fact that I believe ours is amongst the least political and more merit-based honour system in the world and this will permit us to ensure it is a vigorous system,” he said. Johnston was first appointed governor general by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2010 and his term was set to expire this year, but has been renewed until 2017. There’s been talk that was done, in part, to avoid a change in the midst of a federal election this fall; the Governor General can play in a key role in deciding the way forward in the event of a minority government. Johnson said the recent tone of debate in the halls of Parliament and the ongoing controversy around Senate expenses have had him thinking about trust in public institutions — a quality that’s slow to build and easy to quickly destroy. The only way to restore it is to change it, and that’s done by voting, he suggested. “We take the responsibility for ensuring that we have the governments we deserve.”

Red Deer claws out win in shootout ESSO CUP BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Chiefs 3 Capitals 2 (SO) Welcome back to the Esso Cup, Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs. The midget girl’s national championship hosts spent much of their games on Tuesday and Wednesday playing a step or three behind their competition. On Thursday, they were in danger of dropping their third straight contest and falling to fourth place in the tournament and a date with the top seeded Sudbury Lady Wolves. But then they woke up. Chiefs star defenceman Abagael Thiessen, angry with 55 minutes of lacklustre play, took over the game, sparking a two-goal comeback and a 3-2 shootout victory over Manitoba’s Central Plains Capitals on Thursday at the Arena. Their reward is the No. 3 seed and a showdown with the No. 2 Saskatoon Stars in tonight’s semifinal at 7 p.m. “I was getting a little frustrated with myself, my play before that was just awful and I’d had enough of it. I wanted to do something and wanted to be the difference for our team,” said Thiessen. “I did my best to make plays to other girls as well ... it was just a little bit of frustration and the will to win.” Carly Wlad scored the tying goal for the Chiefs and Mairead Bast potted the shootout winner. Sarah Murray made 20 saves through overtime and stopped all three shooters in the skills competition. Emily Upgang and Tamara McVannel scored for the Capitals while Kathleen Kosior made 16 saves through overtime and turned away two of three Chiefs in the shootout. Chiefs head coach Tom Bast is fully aware they dodged a major bullet. “We played 56 minutes of unin-
spired hockey ... we were very fortunate,” he said. “We need to clean up our show for tomorrow because Saskatchewan is going to be tough.” The game was dominated by defence, but the Capitals managed to stake out a 2-0 lead through 40 minutes, despite being outshot 11-10. Upgang opened the scoring at 9:01 of the first period as she managed to bang home a spoiled wrap-around attempt by Sheridan Oswald. The Capitals took a strangle hold at 1:41 of the second as McVannel came down the left wing on a rush and the defenceman’s wrister somehow went through Murray, a rare soft goal for the Calgary native. The Chiefs looked disinterested at best in the third period, at one point getting outshot 7-0, 15 minutes into the frame. Thiessen finally ended the drought at 15:07, snapping a wrist shot through a crowd. It was the next shot, 18 seconds later, that changed the complexion of the game. Thiessen intercepted a clearing pass at the blue-line, then walked in on Kosior deking once before roofing it over her blocker. The tally sparked the Chiefs, but the rally was almost cut short as Paige Grenier was called for hooking a couple of shifts later, putting Red Deer down a man. They killed it off and then tied the game at 18:38 as Wlad finished off a lot of hard work by Skylar Colonna behind the net, wristing a shot from the slot past Kosior. Thiessen even had a chance to end the game in the final minute but was stopped on another rush The game went scoreless through overtime, setting up the shootout. After the initial shooters for both teams were stopped, Mairead Bast beat Kosior with a nifty deke and the goal stood up.

Canucks down Flames to force Game 6 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canucks 2 Flames 1 VANCOUVER — Daniel Sedin scored early in the third period Thursday as the Vancouver Canucks avoided elimination with a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames in Game 5 of their Western Conference quarter-final. The Flames still lead the best-ofseven series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Saturday in Calgary. Nick Bonino had the other goal for Vancouver, which got 19 saves from Ryan Miller. David Jones replied for Calgary, while Jonas Hiller stopped 41 shots. The Canucks snapped a 1-1 tie 1:47 into the third after the Flames iced the
puck. Vancouver put out its top line for the offensive zone faceoff and made Calgary pay as Daniel Sedin shovelled home a Dan Hamhuis rebound through Hiller’s pads for his second goal of the series. Vancouver had to kill off a Calgary power play midway through the period when Hamhuis was whistled for firing the puck over the glass, including a big stop from Miller on Joe Colborne from the slot. The Flames had another man advantage with under six minutes to go when Henrik Sedin went off for hooking, but didn’t get a single shot on target against Miller, who was making his first start of the series after replacing Eddie Lack in Game 4. Calgary has made a living off third-
period comebacks this season, but were unable to find an equalizer as Vancouver stayed alive in front of a raucous towel-waving crowd at Rogers Arena. Down 1-0 after the first period, Vancouver tied the game with 6:29 left in the second after a good cycle down low when Bonino took a pass from Radim Vrbata and ripped a shot under the crossbar from the faceoff dot for his first of the playoffs. With the Canucks then pressing to grab the lead at the other end, Miller was forced into a good save on TJ Brodie to keep things even as Vancouver held a 34-16 shot edge through 40 minutes. Calgary could have taken a 2-0 lead earlier in the period, but Colborne hit
the post a minute in before Mason Raymond saw the puck roll off his stick on a clear breakaway. The Flames went up 1-0 just 2:40 into the first period when Jones jumped on a turnover by Alexander Edler and fired shortside on Miller for his second goal of the series. Calgary’s Dennis Wideman had an opportunity to add to the lead on the power play moments later only to see his shot hit the post behind Miller and stay out. Vancouver had some great chances to equalize later in the period, but Jannik Hansen’s one-timer from the point clanked off iron before Vrbata’s effort on a man advantage also hit the post.
Little doubt Paddock worthy of Eastern coach of year nomination
INSIDER
“I’m four hours away from where I grew up, four hours away from our cabin and from my mom, who’s aging. I’m not looking to move anywhere. I have no reason to even think about it.” ● Jordan Papirny is the classic example of a clutch goaltender — the type who rises to the challenge of performing in big games. The Brandon Wheat Kings stopper, in his second WHL season, possesses a career regular-season 2.97 goalsagainst average and .906 save percentage. But in 19 playoff contests, those numbers have risen to 2.65 and .926. He’s flown under the radar during the September to late March stretch, but has emerged as a difference-maker during the post-season. Papirny boasts a 1.98 GAA and a .938 save percentage this spring, along with a 3-0 mark in extra time, including a 42-save, 3-2 double overtime triumph that eliminated the Edmonton Oil Kings in the opening round. Naturally, he has his share of admirers, including every member of the Wheat Kings. Forward John Quenneville has marvelled at the goaltender’s tendency to rise to the occasion. “You look at the Edmonton game, I don’t think he was going to let another goal in,” Quenneville, whose

team hosts the Calgary Hitmen tonight to open the Eastern Conference final, told Rob Henderson of the Brandon Sun. “I think he’s there when we need him the most and that’s a great trait to have.” Papirny doesn’t like to talk about himself, preferring instead to dwell on the thrills of the post-season. “Everything’s a lot more ramped up in playoffs and the excitement’s awesome,” he said. “It’s a fun time of year, obviously, because of what’s at stake.” Despite his decent regular-season numbers and excellent playoff stats, the 19-year-old was passed over in last year’s NHL draft and is ranked 28th among North American goalies by Central Scouting for this year’s draft. Papirny, was however, an Eastern Conference second team all-star this year. “I think he’s a really underrated guy in that he doesn’t get as much draft talk as other guys which I don’t know why, it blows my mind,” said Quenneville. “You look at the (1996-born) goalies . . . he’s the best of his age group. Just look at the win column this year, how he’s done. He’s such a great goalie. He’s stolen so many games for us and he’s huge.”

Johnson leads late charge as Lightning top Red Wings BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Lightning 3 Red Wings 2 (OT) DETROIT — The Tampa Bay Lightning spent all season showing they could score goals in bunches, and with a first-round playoff series seemingly slipping away, Tyler Johnson led their most important flurry yet. Johnson scored 2:25 into overtime to lift the Lightning to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night that evened their series at 2-2. The winning goal capped a stretch in which Johnson had two goals and an assist in a span of 7:51, enabling Tampa Bay to wipe out a late two-goal deficit. “Never a doubt, was there?” Lightning coach Jon Cooper joked. The Red Wings led 2-0 in the third period before Johnson scored with 5:26 remaining. He then assisted on Ondrej Palat’s tying goal 77 seconds later. Early in the extra session, defenceman Victor Hedman led an odd-man rush from the right side and slid the puck across the goal mouth. It deflected ever so slightly off goalie Petr Mrazek, but Johnson was able to shoot into an open net from a tough

ESSO CUP: A whole new day “We’ve been sound defensively all year, but that was two of our worst break downs — we lost coverage in front of our net, it happens,” said Capitals head coach Ferdi Nelissen. “Give Red Deer credit, they never quit either. We accomplished what we wanted, get in the playoff round and tomorrow’s a whole new day.” Murray was the other big hero on Thursday, after being prepped to wear the goat horns for her second period blunder. She settled herself down and was unbeatable the rest of the way, making several big stops, especially in the third period when the Chiefs were struggling. “I believe Sarah is our mentally
angle on the other side for his fourth goal of the series. “I don’t know how we got a 3-on-1 but we did,” Johnson said. “Heddy had the puck and I was actually telling him to try and pass it to (Nikita Kucherov) in the high slot because I thought on a 3-on-1 you can get to the middle a little easier. He made an unbelievable play to me and I was able to get enough on it to get it in there.” Game 5 is Saturday at Tampa Bay. Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson scored in the second period for Detroit. Andersson’s goal came in fluky fashion when goalie Ben Bishop knocked it in off the crossbar. Tampa Bay led the league in goals during the regular season, but Mrazek shut out the Lightning in Detroit in late March, then blanked them again in Game 3. He had another shutout going Thursday until Johnson skated in on the left and beat him to the short side to make it 2-1. “I think we’d gone probably eight periods without scoring a goal in this building but as soon as we got that one, we grew a couple inches on the bench,” Cooper said. “It was like a weight off our shoulders and clearly the game changed at the moment we scored that goal.”
toughest young lady, I wasn’t too worried about Sarah because when she makes a mistake like that ... she bears down,” said Tom Bast. Despite tying the Chiefs with eight points, the Capitals will be bumped down to the No. 4 seed due to Thursday’s loss. They will face the Lady Wolves in the first semifinal today at 3:30 p.m. but the Capitals were the only team to beat Sudbury in the round robin. “That gives our girls a little bit confidence but we don’t want to be over confident,” said Nelissen. “So far this week we’ve had a chance to win every game we’ve been in, I think we’ve been as good as anybody.” For the Chiefs it sets up a much more palatable semifinal with the Stars, despite falling 3-2 to the Stars on Wednesday night — they lost 7-2 to Sudbury on Tuesday. They know they still have their work cut out to get to the gold medal game and the opportunity to make some history. The only host team to ever medal at the Esso Cup was in 2009 in Calgary when they

Forsberg hat trick helps Predators stay alive BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Predators 5 Blackhawks 2 NASHVILLE — Rookie Filip Forsberg had his first career hat trick and the Nashville Predators forced a sixth game in their firstround Western Conference series by beating the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 Thursday night. A triple-overtime loss in Chicago early Wednesday pushed the Predators to the brink of elimination, and these teams appeared headed for the third overtime game of this series tied at 1-1 after two. James Neal then got the goahead goal in the opening minute of the third to start a flurry of three goals in a span of less than 2 ½ minut es and the Predators pulled to 3-2 in the series with Game 6 Saturday night in Chicago. Forsberg finished his hat trick with an empty-netter in the final minute. Colin Wilson also had a goal, and Neal had an assist. Brad Richards had a goal and an assist, and Kris Versteeg also scored for Chicago. The Blackhawks missed on closing out their first post-season series since losing the Western Conference finals last year in seven games. The Predators have won the last two first-round series they’ve played, even though they missed the post-season the past two years. That’s why Peter Laviolette was hired as coach not only to take them back to the playoffs but take Nashville on a deep run. Facing elimination, the Predators certainly opened and finished strong. When the Blackhawks got the man advantage 3 minutes into the game, Nashville turned the final 45 seconds into its own short-
handed advantage taking several shots at Darling. That set the pace for a very frantic period as the teams played 9:25 between whistles before Richards put a wrister five-hole past goalie Pekka Rinne for a 1-0 lead at 13:27. The Predators answered back 65 seconds later as Forsberg scored his second this series with a wrister off a faceoff, and the teams went to the first intermission tied for the third straight game. In the second, Nashville had a man advantage and couldn’t convert. Wilson also missed the puck on a pass from Mike Ribeiro trying to shoot into an open net behind Darling with the goalie managing to reach back and help poke it away. The Blackhawks turned that into a 3-on-1 with Rinne knocking away Bickell’s shot and then pivoting to stop a backhander from Patrick Kane on the other side. Neal, who scored his first goal this series, put Nashville up 2-1 just 47 seconds into the third. He scored on a wraparound getting a little bit of help from Chicago defenceman Duncan Keith and his left skate in the way as Darling tried desperately to close the gap with his glove. That goal set off a scoring flurry in a series that has been tied for more than 216 minutes. Chicago defenceman Michal Rozsival went to the box for interference, and Wilson made up for his earlier miss with a slap shot past Darling at 3:02 to make it 3-1. Forsberg, not among the Calder Trophy finalists announced earlier in the day, got his second with his own slap shot 12 seconds later allowing Nashville fans to relax, breathe and celebrate. Forsberg sent hats flying onto the ice with his fourth goal this series with 10.3 seconds left. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
finished with bronze. “They’re going to be fast and physical and they’ve got a few key players we’ve got to shut down,” said Thiessen. “But we’re well aware and we’ve done some video on them over the week and we know what to expect.” ● The Lady Wolves clinched the top seed with a 2-1 win over the Edmonton Thunder, which also clinched a playoff spot for the Chiefs. Karli Shell and Melisa Kingsley scored for the Ontario champions while Danika Ranger made 31 saves for the win. Alison Barnett scored for Edmonton and Tracie Kikuchi made 19 saves in the loss. ● The Stars finished off the Moncton Rockets with a 7-1 win, paced by Sophie Shirley’s four-point night (two goals, two assists). Nara Elia, Julia Rongve, Danielle Nogier, Courtney Cormack and Jordyn Gerlitz scored for Saskatoon while Karlee Retch stopped 11 of 12 shots for the win. Lauren Shaw scored Moncton’s only goal while Brianne Waterman allowed seven goals on 36 shots.
WHL: Player of the year ● Winger Oliver Bjorkstrand, who will lead his Portland Winterhawks into tonight’s opening game of the Western Conference final against the host Kelowna Rockets, and Brandon centre Tim McGauley are the finalists for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy as the WHL player of the year. Bjorkstrand captured the league scoring title with 63 goals and 118 points in just 59 games, while McGauley, the Eastern Conference nominee, finished third in scoring with 105 points, including 42 goals, in 72 games. Bjorkstrand was selected in the third round, 89th overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2013 NHL entry draft. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Blue Jays hold off Orioles to complete sweep offence. Kevin Pillar, starting in right field for the injured Jose Bautista, had two hits and two runs batted in. Gibbons said before the game that Bautista would likely not have to go on the disabled list for a strained right shoulder sustained in Tuesday’s 13-6 win. However, backup catcher Dioner Navarro was placed on the 15-day DL earlier Thursday with a strained hamstring. Josh Thole was called up from triple-A Buffalo to replace him. Toronto finished its 10-game homestand with a 5-5 record but left Rogers Centre with a three-game win streak before a long 10-game road trip starting in Tampa on Friday. “Obviously we didn’t start (the homestand) the way we wanted to, but we finished more in our style of baseball,” said catcher Russell Martin. “Felt like we played really good baseball these last three games, in this last series, got a sweep. Definitely feels good heading on to the road now.” Chris Tillman (2-2) struggled through 4 1/3 innings of work for Baltimore (79). He gave up seven earned runs on five hits and five walks, striking out three. Toronto opened the scoring in the third inning when Devon Travis hit into a fielder’s choice, giving Danny Valencia the chance to cross home. Orioles catcher Ryan Lavarnway dropped the ball on the play, so Pillar tried to score from third. Lavarnway recovered the ball quickly and easily tagged out Pillar. Donaldson hit a home run to the
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 7 Orioles 6 TORONTO — Drew Hutchison may have been flirting with a perfect game for five innings, but he didn’t notice. He struck out seven over eight innings as the Toronto Blue Jays routed the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 on Thursday to complete a three-game series sweep. “I think you’re just out there concentrating on one guy at a time,” said Hutchison when asked about the possibility of a perfect game after retiring the first 15 batters he faced. “I wasn’t really thinking about it.” Hutchison (2-0) finished with two earned runs on four hits and one hit batter. His eight inning performance is the longest outing of any Blue Jays pitcher this season. “He really gave us what we needed,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “We’ve been looking for that seven-, eight-inning start. That always helps everybody out.” Hutchison established his strike zone early in the game, taking control of every at bat. “I just felt like I did a good job of being aggressive in the zone,” said Hutchison. “I got a good tempo going, a good rhythm, and the ball was coming out good so I was able to find my fastball early and get ahead of guys and that was the difference.” Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer and a double to lead Toronto’s (9-7)
second deck in left field in the next at-bat, driving in Travis and giving the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead. Valencia added to Toronto’s lead in the next inning, driving in Justin Smoak with a double to left field. Pillar then made up for his earlier gaffe with a lucky bounce hit up the leftfield line bounced off third base and into left field, bringing home Martin and Valencia for a 6-0 Blue Jays lead. Extra-base hits fuelled Toronto’s offence in the fifth inning as well. A double put Donaldson on base, followed by a Smoak walk. Martin hit a double to left, cashing in Donaldson. Manny Machado ended Hutchison’s bid for a perfect game with a home run on the first pitch of the sixth inning, driving the ball over the left-field fence to make it 7-1. Baltimore tacked on another run when Delmon Young’s single to centre field drove Adam Jones home from second. A single by Young in the ninth inning plated Jones, chipping at Toronto’s lead. Machado then crushed a 2-2 pitch from Blue Jays reliever Miguel Castro, driving in Young and Travis Snider to make it 7-6. Castro struck out Lavarnway for the final out of the game and his fourth save of the season. “It looked like he got a little ticked off right there and got his fastball back down in the zone and was able to get that last out, got that win,” said Martin. “Took a blow but came back and threw another punch and finished strong.”

Toronto Blue Jays players celebrate defeating the Baltimore Orioles in American League baseball action in Toronto on Thursday.
Weekley, de Jonge share Zurich Classic lead siana. De Jonge, from Zimbabwe, had eight birdies in a bogey-free round. Sean O’Hair and Brantford, Ont., native David Hearn shot 65 on the Pete Dye-designed layout. Tour rookie Mark Hubbard had five consecutive birdies in the middle of his round and finished with a 66. He was tied with Erik Compton, Brian Davis, Greg Owen and Daniel Berger. Dustin Johnson, ranked No. 7 in the world, was at 67 in a large group that included former Zurich winner K.J. Choi and Jason Day, the highest ranked player in the field at No. 6. Weekley, from Milton, Florida, played in front of a number of family and friends. He eagled the par-5 second hole and added birdies on the fifth and eighth holes. He bogeyed the ninth, but rallied with birdies on Nos. 11-13 and closed with a birdie on the par-5 18th. “I felt like if the putts would have fallen that I hit, I felt like it could have been a 59 easy,” Weekley said after posting his lowest score in more than
PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AVONDALE, La. — Boo Weekley solved his uncharacteristic ball-striking problems with new shafts. A day after changing the shafts in his irons, Weekley shot an 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans for a share of the firstround lead with Brendon de Jonge. “You go to tinkering around with clubs and you finally find a shaft, and (True Temper) finally stepped up and built me a set of clubs and they worked,” said Weekley, the three-time PGA Tour winner who missed the cuts in four of his past six tournaments. \“I’ve been missing something in my game, and it was because I (haven’t) been able to control my irons. It just starts messing with you mentally.” Weekley had an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey at rain-softened TPC Loui-

two years. “I felt like I should have easily shot 8-under on the front side.” De Jonge, starting on the back nine, birdied three consecutive holes after a par on his first hole and made the turn at 4 under. He had four straight birdies on the back, but failed to birdie the par-5 eighth. De Jonge, who hit 12 of 14 fairways and 15 of 18 greens, played the par 4s in 7 under but was only 1 under on the par 5s in his lowest round of the year. “I left a couple of shots on the par 5s but made it up on the par 4s,” said de Jonge, who added he has never played well at TPC New Orleans. “The course was there for the taking. You’ve obviously got to hit the fairways, but the tour let us play (lift, clean and place), so that was the key out there today.” O’Hair was 3 under after his first two holes, including an eagle on the first when he knocked in his second shot from 123 yards. He was 7 under

through his first 11 holes, but bogeyed the 12th before closing with a birdie on the 18th. “I kind of caught myself pressing on the back nine,” said O’Hair, who has two top 10s in his past four tournaments, including a sixth-place finishes this past week at the RBC Heritage. “Once I got to 7 (under) I was kind of pushing a little bit, forcing a little bit on the greens.” Players were allowed to lift, clean and place their balls in anticipation of showers that arrived in mid- afternoon, suspending play for 1 hour, 18 minutes. A calm wind for much of the day along with soft greens left the course defenceless. “Hopefully, the weather (Friday) will be good,” Day said after a round in which he hit two balls in the water on the par-3 third for a double-bogey 5 and followed with a bogey on the fourth hole. “It will be good to see the course dry out, and obviously when the weather comes in it’s no fun for anyone.”

Kuznetsov leads Caps to rout of Islanders BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Capitals 5 Islanders 1 WASHINGTON — With some fist pumps and a punch of the glass, Washington Capitals rookie Evgeny Kuznetsov celebrated the first playoff goal of his long-thought-promising career. By the time the 22-year-old Russian netted his second, the crowd’s raucous chants of “We are louder!” were ringing throughout the arena as a bunch of secondary scoring put Washington on the verge of eliminating the New York Islanders. “Everybody wants to score the goal,” Kuznetsov said. “But if you do the right things, stay in the plan, all the goals, passes and Cups come. One guy never (wins) the Cup. Only (teams) win the Cup.” Dominating despite zero points from Alex Ovechkin or Nicklas Backstrom, the Capitals beat the Islanders 5-1 Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference series, with goals coming from less-heralded players such as Karl Alzner, Brooks Laich and Jason Chimera. “That’s playoff time: You’re going to get a goal from someone who hasn’t scored all year,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said, exaggerating only slightly. Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak was yanked with 11 minutes left in the game after allowing five goals on 35 shots. The Capitals can end the best-of-seven series by winning Game 6 at New York on Saturday, in what could be the Islanders’ final appearance at Nassau Coliseum before they move to Brooklyn next season. “We know what it means to our fans. ... It just can’t be the last game for them,” defenceman Thomas Hickey said. “So we’re going to come with our heads on and be ready to play, and make sure that it’s not the last game there. We’ve got to find a way.” Thursday’s third period began with Washington ahead only 2-1 but on its first power play of the evening, thanks to Halak’s penalty for tripping Ovechkin. Washington did not convert on the extra-man opportunity, but Laich scored 42 seconds after it ended. “Huge,” Trotz said. “That got the ball rolling, in terms of momentum and stuff.” And to think: The Islanders took a 1-0 lead in the first period, but Washington goalie Braden Holtby saved the other 22 shots he faced. Since sitting out Game 2 because he was sick, Holtby has stopped 98 of 102 shots on goal by the Islanders across three games.

New York Islanders center Frans Nielsen and center Mikhail Grabovski combine on Washington Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner during Game 5 in the first round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, Thursday, in Washington. At the other end, meanwhile, Halak was repeatedly in trouble, thanks to turnovers by his teammates and a push by the Capitals that Holtby called “relentless.” When Halak was removed, coach Jack Capuano whispered in his ear. “For whatever reason tonight, the brain wasn’t working. We just turned pucks over and gave it right to them, and they came back the other way,” Capua-
no said. “I wanted to let him know that it has nothing to do with him.” As the margin grew, the cries of “Louder!” and “Can you hear us?!” from spectators came in waves, a reference to some back-and-forth among players from both teams over whose arena makes more noise. “It’s something that you feed off,” Capitals forward Jay Beagle said.
Star rookies Gaudreau, Stone, Ekblad named Calder finalists NEW YORK — Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau is thrilled to be named a Calder Trophy finalist. He’s got bigger things to think about right now, though. “It’s definitely exciting for me at this time of the year, but it’s playoff time as well,” Gaudreau said earlier this week in the midst of Calgary’s first-round playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks. “I think that’s something you’ve got to be focused on a little bit more.” Gaudreau, 21, was among three finalists for the NHL’s rookie of the year award. Ottawa Senators forward Mark Stone and Florida Panthers defenceman Aaron Ekblad were the others. The league announced the nominees on Thursday. The winner will be announced at the NHL awards ceremony on June 24, which will take place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. “There was a ton of good rookies this year. It’s exciting to be part of a group like that,” Gaudreau said. The Salem, N.J., native had 64 points — tied for first among rookies with Stone — through 80 regularseason games for Calgary this year. He also has
Anderson starring for Senators in playoffs after long stint on the bench BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Forced to take a back seat during the Ottawa Senators’ remarkable run to the playoffs, goaltender Craig Anderson is happy to be back in a starring role. The veteran netminder posted his third career playoff shutout Wednesday night as Ottawa defeated Montreal 1-0 and forced a fifth game in their firstround playoff series with the Canadiens. Anderson was sidelined due to a deep bone bruise suffered Jan. 21 and was then relegated to the backup role as Andrew Hammond took the Senators on a 20-1-2 run to make the post-season. Anderson was then forced to watch coach Dave Cameron go with his hot goaltender and start Hammond for the first two games of the series in Montreal. But Anderson was thrown in for Game 3 as Cameron looked to change things up after a pair of losses. It wasn’t the most popular decision considering Anderson had only played four games since January and had posted a 1-2-1 record. The Senators lost Game 3, but Anderson was solid and no one is criticizing his performance in Game 4. “I thought I was fighting it a little bit in the first period of Game 3 and fortunately it didn’t hurt us at all and they didn’t score on any of those mishaps that I had,” Anderson said. “As the game wore on I felt more comfortable. There’s a lot of positives to pull out even though we lost that game. I think we used some of that good feeling for Game 4.” Anderson said losing his job to Hammond wasn’t the easiest time of his career, but with the way Hammond was playing he couldn’t argue with the decision. “If I go out there and pout and complain that doesn’t do myself any good or the team,” Anderson said. “This is a team game, you need everyone on the same page, everyone playing well. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing every game or every other game or once a week or once a month, you’re still part of the team and you have to find a way to push yourself to be ready when called upon.” The 33-year-old Anderson said he’s energized by the playoffs and feels “25-years-old again.” His success comes as no surprise to his teammates. “I think he was hungry, I mean he was starving to get a chance again,” said forward Clarke MacArthur. “In the past he’s had good playoff runs and good numbers so I’m not surprised. He played great for us all year and for him to come in and do what he’s done is what you expect of him and the only chance you have to compete really.” Defenceman Marc Methot said Anderson’s rebound is pretty much what the team expected knowing his personality.
three points, including one goal, through four playoff contests heading into Thursday nights’s Game 5 in Vancouver. Gaudreau, drafted in the fourth round (104th overall) by the Flames in 2011, ranked first among all rookies in assists (40) and power-play goals (eight), and topped rookie forwards in average ice time per game (17:43). “For a small-sized player leaving college, coming in, we all remember his first 10 games and then gradually he took off and he took off the right way,” said Flames head coach Bob Hartley. “He’s come a long way and there’s still a lot to come.” Ekblad, of Windsor, Ont., was the No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 draft. He set club records for goals (12), assists (27) and points (39) by a rookie defenceman. The 19-year-old also led the Panthers in plusminus (+12) and was on the ice for 88 Florida goals scored — the most of any player on the roster. “In training camp, you could tell that he was nervous,” Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo said of
Ekblad at the all-star game. “It’s crazy: Once the season started you didn’t notice. He flipped the switch on right away. You could never tell that he’s an 18-year-old playing in the NHL. He’s that good.” Stone, a sixth-round selection (178th overall) by Ottawa in 2010, had 26 goals and 38 assists. The 22-year-old Winnipeg native set a rookie club record nine-game point streak to end the season (8-5-13), capping his performance with two goals in the season finale to help his team complete its successful playoff drive. He also led all rookies in plus-minus (+21). The Senators, who are down 3-1 to the Canadiens in their first-round series, play Game 5 in Montreal on Friday. “It would be pretty special (just to get nominated),” Stone said earlier Thursday. “I’m pretty happy (with) how my season went, especially the last three months. I felt like I played some good hockey and helped my team win quite a few games, but at the end of the day I just want to worry about Friday night.”

Lowry looks to rebound for Raptors BUT QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS HEALTH REMAIN
NBA PLAYOFFS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — It’s been a long two days for Kyle Lowry. The Toronto Raptors departed for Washington on Thursday afternoon, looking to turn around their playoff series against the Wizards that has gone horribly awry. And Lowry was looking for a little redemption. “I relish just being able to play another game because my first two haven’t been well,” Lowry said. “That’s what I’m looking forward to.” The all-star point guard, who was averaging 20 points a night through the early part of the regular season, has just 13 points through two games, and with 10 fouls, has been forced to sit for large chunks of both games. “Literally I played 12 minutes in a half. I’ve got to find a way to stay on the floor,” Lowry said. “That’s all that really matters to me. Staying on the floor.” There’s also questions about his health. A back injury sidelined him for nine games down the stretch, then a shin contusion forced him out of Game 2 with six minutes to play. Lowry insisted he feels “fine.” A couple of min-

utes later Patrick Patterson told reporters “we would love Kyle to be Kyle, but we all know that Kyle is battling some injuries right now.” While coach Dwane Casey said “no-one is 100 per cent who is still playing right now” on any team, he does believe Lowry’s struggles have a lot to do with his health. “You don’t miss as much time as he missed toward the end (of the season). . . there’s always that big debate, rust versus rest going into the playoffs,” Casey said. “For me, we’ve got to get Kyle back to the level he was. We have a short time, two games, to get it down. But if anyone can do it, I believe Kyle can do it.” The Raptors are gunning for just their second appearance in the second round of the playoffs in their 20-year franchise history. And Casey had a strong message for them before they walked out of practice Thursday. “If you’re not going to Washington to compete, don’t come out to the airport,” he said. “We’ll get you a nice meal somewhere in Toronto at a nice restaurant and you can watch it on television.” “No one stepped forward so that meant that everyone who gets on the plane is ready to compete,” he added. Washington embarrassed the Raptors in Game
2. Wizards point guard John Wall virtually roamed free, lighting it up for 26 points and 17 assists, to become just the fourth player in the last 25 years to hit those marks in a playoff game. The Wizards had all the swagger as well. Numerous clips on social media show Bradley Beal trashtalking Toronto players. “That’s all competition,” Patterson said. “That’s all the game of basketball, whether it’s playoffs, whether it’s pre-season, whether it’s a regular season game, whether it’s going up against your rival opponent. There’s always trash talking, there’s always explicit language, there’s always pushing and shoving, there’s always a physical nature of the game. And we embrace it, they embrace it, if your an athlete you embrace it.” The Raptors said they have to rediscover their own swagger for Game 3. “It starts when you walk into the building, with your demeanour and your attitude,” Patterson said. “Then as the game progresses forward, if you’re making shots, if you’re playing defence, if you’re getting stops then your confidence is going to go through the roof. That encouragement, that positive mindset and that just feeling it mentality just gets stronger and stronger throughout the course of the game.” Toronto has won four of their last five visits to Verizon Center, including a 120-116 overtime victory on Jan. 31. The last time the Raptors have lost three consecutive games in a playoff series was in their post-season debut in 2000 versus New York.
MLB commissioner Manfred says Pete Rose allowed to participate in All-Star game BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 5 Sweden 3 ZUG, Switzerland — Canada has advanced to the semifinals of the world under-18 hockey championship with a 5-3 win over Sweden on Thursday. Mitchell Stephens led Canada with two goals and an assist, with Jansen Harkins, Deven Siederoff and Graham Knott also scoring. Lucas Carlsson, Joel Eriksson and Carl Grundstrom scored for Sweden. Zachary Sawchenko stopped 24 of shots for Canada, while Felix Sandstrom made 29 saves for Sweden. Canada will face the United States in the semifinal round on Saturday. The Americans advanced with a 7-2 win over the Czech Republic. The other semifinal will feature Finland and Switzerland. The host Swiss advanced with a shock 5-0 win over Russia, while the Finns blanked Slovakia 3-0. Canada took an early 2-0 lead on goals from Harkins and Stephens, but Carlsson got the Swedes on the board with a power-play goal just 64 seconds after Stephens scored. Siederoff scored with 34 second left in the first period to restore Canada’s two-goal lead. The Swedes came back again with Eriksson’s goal at 2:51 of the second, but Stephens scored his second of the game to put Canada up 4-2 after 20 minutes. Grundstrom and Knott traded goals 22 seconds apart in the third period to finish the scoring. Canada’s Mathew Barzal had two assists in the game to give him 12 points, tied with Auston Matthews of the U.S. for the tournament lead.
NEW YORK — Commissioner Rob Manfred says Pete Rose will be allowed to participate in activities surrounding this summer’s All-Star Game in his hometown of Cincinnati. Rose, baseball’s career hits leader and a former Reds star player and manager, agreed to a lifetime ban from the sport in 1989 after a Major League Baseball investigation concluded he bet on his team to win while he was managing the club. Manfred said initial thoughts about Rose’s role at the July 14 game will come from Reds owner Bob Castellini. “I’ve agreed with Mr. Castellini that we’re going to have a conversation about what specific kind of participation the Reds are interested in, and we have not had that conversation yet,” Manfred said Thursday during a meeting with the Associated Press Sports Editors. “You can rest assured that he will about allowed to participate in some of the activities.” MLB permitted Rose to take part in the All-Century team announcement at Atlanta’s Turner Field during the 1999 World Series and a Reds ceremony in 2013 honouring their 1975 and ’76 championship teams. In 24 seasons in the majors, Rose had 4,256 hits, won three World Series titles and was voted the 1963 NL Rookie of the Year and the 1973 NL Most Valuable Player. A 17-time All-Star, Rose made the team at five different positions. Rose, who turned 74 this month, applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and met in November 2002 with Commissioner Bud Selig, who never ruled on the application. Rose submitted another application for reinstatement after Manfred succeeded Selig in January. “We have gathered volumes, I mean literally volumes of documents, related to the original investigation,” Manfred said, explaining how they had been

Manfred said it was too early to estimate a timetable. Fox, which will televise the All-Star Game, said last weekend it had hired Rose as a studio analyst this season. Because of the ban, Rose is not allowed in areas of ballparks not open to fans, except with special approval from the commissioner’s office. “Fox’s decision is their decision,” Manfred said. “It’s really not something that we have any contractual control over or that we ever had any input in.”

Nicklaus, Player set for Legends of Golf, but Jack needed help with format RIDGEDALE, Mo. — Jack Nicklaus needed some help wrapping his head around the format changes in the Champions Tour’s Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf. “You lost me because I don’t even know what you’re talking about,” Nicklaus said. “What are we doing here tomorrow?” Nicklaus and partner Gary Player will open Friday on Big Cedar Lodge Resort’s par-3 Top of the Rock layout, playing nine holes of better ball and nine holes of modified alternate shot. “What’s modified alternate shot?” the 75-year-old Nicklaus asked. In modified alternate shot both players hit a tee shot, then pick the best ball and play alternate shot from there. “OK, fine,” Nicklaus said. “We’ll really do well with that.” On Saturday, Nicklaus and Player will play a better-ball round on Buffalo Ridge’s regulation Springs course. The Legends Division for players 65 and older will close Sunday with nine holes of better-ball play on the Nicklaus-designed par-3 course. “I’ve got it down,” Nicklaus said. “I don’t play golf anymore and I don’t really pay much attention to it. I’m here because Gary’s my friend and we’re going to have a good time and we’re going to do our best to try to see if we cannot finish last, maybe even finish first, and enjoy the week.

Defending New coach, philosophy, leads champ Lydia Canada into sledge worlds Ko takes lead at Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALY CITY, Calif. — As Lydia Ko geared up to turn 18 on Friday at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, right behind her on the leaderboard was 54-year-old Juli Inkster. Refreshed and ready to make a run at defending her title, the top-ranked Ko returned from two weeks off to take the first-day lead Thursday at 5-under 67. Ko nearly chipped in for eagle on the par-5 14th, but the ball deflected off the pin and she settled for a tap-in birdie putt, and that moved her to the top of the leaderboard at Lake Merced Golf Club. “This is a very tough golf course. You need to position yourself well,” Ko said. “I hit the ball pretty good where I wasn’t in too much trouble. If I did miss it a little bit, I did get away with it, too. It’s a really good start but I know I’ve got three long days to go.” Ko will celebrate her birthday on the course Friday then go out for a nice dinner with friends. Paired with Anna Nordqvist and Lexi Thompson, Ko pulled on a jacket midway through her round in the afternoon chill and finished strong. Ko had a one-stroke lead over three others, including Inkster. Stacy Lewis, last year’s runner-up to Ko at Lake Merced, was two strokes back at 69. “It was probably one of the craziest rounds of golf I’ve ever played,” said Lewis, who recovered from four bogeys on her front nine with an eagle on the par-4 11th and three birdies on the back. Ko had birdies on consecutive holes three times — Nos. 5-6, 8-9 and 13-14 — with just one bogey. “The first couple holes were playing down wind, so that made it a lot easier,” she said. “A lot depends on the wind. It really depends on the conditions of the day and the scores are really good.” Ko was followed by a gallery of about 100 fans early, and first-day attendance seemed to be a noticeable improvement from a year ago for the tournament’s inaugural round. The wind picked up significantly in the afternoon. Inkster, done hours earlier before the wind began whipping in earnest, quickly corrected the notion she is facing a talented LPGA field with women her daughters’ ages. “Yeah, they’re a lot younger than my daughters,” she said with a grin. “They’re 25 and 21. Out here that’s a seasoned veteran. You know what, that’s the beauty about golf. I mean, age matters in a lot of things as far as how your body feels and how far you hit the ball and how much time you can put into it. You can still go out there and compete at 54.” Inkster, a local icon, birdied six of her first 10 holes for a 68 on a cool, breezy morning off the ocean. She had no idea that put her on top of the leaderboard after the morning rounds. “I didn’t know I was,” Inkster said. “The way I played today, no, I’m not surprised. ... Coming into this week, my game feels pretty good.” Lewis joked that a leaderboard with Inkster on top would make a good “Throwback Thursday” photo. Ha Na Jang, who also shot a 68, made a 35-foot birdie putt on the par-3, 162-yard eighth for one of her eight birdies. P.K. Kongkraphan also had a 68.
After leading Canada to a bronze medal at the Sochi Paralympics, Greg Westlake was relieved of his longtime role as team captain. The move may have surprised some, but Westlake said there was no drama or juicy story behind new coach Ken Babey’s decision. “I never had the feeling all year that I got stripped, I never felt disrespected,” Westlake said. “And I talked to Ken and everybody is very up front with me and it wasn’t so much a, ’Hey Greg, you’re losing captaincy.’ It was ’Hey, I’ve never seen the sport of sledge hockey before and then I’m going to coach a few games and make a decision later.”’ Babey must have liked what he saw from Westlake, because the veteran forward will once again wear the C when Canada opens the sledge hockey world championships against Japan on Sunday in Buffalo, N.Y. Despite winning the last world championships in 2013, Canada has had a significant turnaround over the past year. And after bronze medals at both the Sochi Games and February’s World Sledge Hockey Challenge, Canada enters this year’s world championship as an underdog. Westlake is fine with that. “We didn’t win last year, we didn’t win our last tournament , we’ve got a lot to prove,” Westlake said. “I think we’re going to be a very different team there then we were last month. I’m excited for that and it’s kind of nice to go into a tournament and feel like an underdog.” Canada will have four new forwards joining them for the worlds, which run from April 26 to May 3. With a pair of retirements in the off-season, the Canadian roster has become younger, but it has retained its core veterans. And Canada will continue to adjust to a change behind the bench. Hockey Canada hired Babey as head coach in January, replacing Mike Mondin. Babey is the most successful coach in Canadian post-secondary
hockey history, with 534 wins over 27 years with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology’s men’s hockey team. The switch to coaching disabled hockey has been a positive one for Babey. “It’s been a good transition but you know I love it because it’s been a great challenge, great athletes and these guys are crazy in my eyes what they do out there. I got into a sled and I tried it and I went ’woah,”’ Babey, a Saskatoon native, said. With a new coach comes new philosophies and strategies. Babey decided to go the entire season without captains to build a team leadership concept. “This is a new team, a new program,” Babey said. “At the end of the day, with the emergence of the young guys and the good veteran players, we think we have a balanced team approach that will be better than two or three guys to lead the team.” Canada released its 17-man roster on Wednesday with Brad Bowden and Tyler McGregor as Westlake’s assistant captains. “You know, I’m really impressed with the new emergence of our young players like (Ben) Delaney, McGregor, (Anthony) Gale,” Babey said. “These young guys have really come up and emerged as good players, especially McGregor.” Delaney, McGregor and Gale played on the same line in Sochi and found success. Gale isn’t playing at the worlds after suffering an upper-body injury. The results have been mixed for Canada this season. Along with the bronze at the World Challenge, they were swept in a three-game series against twotime defending Paralympic champion the United States in March. Westlake emphasized the importance of a good result in Buffalo heading into the next world championship in 2017. “This will be a tournament that if you don’t pull it out, you’ll have to sit on it for a long time,” Westlake said. “And so I don’t want to sit for two years off a loss, so I know we’re capable of winning a gold medal and it’s just about having the right game at the right time.”

B8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, April 24, 2015
UFC 186 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A photo from the second fight between Canadian bantamweights Alexis Davis and Sarah Kaufman hangs on the wall at Kaufman’s Victoria gym. It shows Kaufman burying her right fist in Davis’ face. Kaufman (17-2 with one no contest) hopes for more of the same Saturday when the 135-pounders meet for a third time on the UFC 186 undercard in Montreal. Davis (16-6) looks for a win after two losses — 2007 and 2012 — to Kaufman. Davis, 30, is happy to get a crack at a top contender after losing to champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey in 16 seconds at UFC 175 last July. “I feel like they’re giving me an opportunity,” Davis said of the UFC. “They didn’t kind of throw me on the backburner to start again. I’m fighting one of the toughest female fighters in the UFC right now.” Davis, a native of Port Colborne, Ont., now based in San Jose, is ranked third among 135-pound contenders. Kaufman is No. 5. The 29-year-old Kaufman, who wonders about those rankings considering their history, is happy to get back to action after a year’s inactivity but admits Davis was not her first choice. “I can’t say I was jumping for joy,” she said. A few weeks after beating Leslie Smith last April, Kaufman’s car was hit by a vehicle running a red light. Back and neck injuries kept her out of full training for almost six months. “It’s been a little bit of a waiting game and I’m used to being patient but I don’t really want to be patient,” said Kaufman. “I want to make some noise and stamp my feet and get the fights going that I’d like, that the fans want to see.” Restored to health, Kaufman had lobbied to meet rising star Bethe Correia, or No. 2 Miesha Tate. But No. 7 Correia fights Rousey on Aug. 1 in Brazil while Tate meets No. 6 Jessica (Evil) Eye on July 25 in Chicago. Davis wanted to get back in the cage sooner after the Rousey beatdown but said she had to wait for a fight to come. And while she doesn’t dwell on the loss, it is something that motivates her. She acknowledges not listening to her coaches, thinking about giving the fans what they want and poor footwork all caught up with her. As did Rousey. “That was tough to watch,” Kaufman, who was submitted by Rousey in 54 seconds in a 2012 Strikeforce bout, said of Davis’ loss to the champ. While Kaufman and Davis have history in the cage, Davis says it doesn’t mean much. “We’re two different fighters (today),” she said. Davis “can barely” remember their first fight on an Ultimate Cage Wars card in Winnipeg in 2007. It was her first pro bout and Kaufman’s fourth. Kaufman remembers. “I think I finished it with a 30-punch combination of some sort. Eventually she collapsed and I think I finished her on the ground.” Their second fight — in Strikeforce — saw a bloodied Davis and Kaufman stand and bang for two rounds before Davis, a black belt in both Japanese and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, took Kaufman down in the third. Davis admits her game plan went out the window. But she also notes that loss to Kaufman was her last fight before moving her camp to California. She is 5-1 since.
Chan eager to return after year off BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Patrick Chan has squeezed in as much fun as possible in the year since he left the Sochi Olympics with a silver medal and shattered dreams. He’s been to Japan, criss-crossed the U.S., and even taken in some NHL playoff action. Now, he’s ready to come back. The three-time world champion figure skater from Toronto, who took a year off to contemplate his future, will throw himself back into full-time training this summer and return to competing next fall. “It is something I miss,” said Chan on the competitive pressure. “Definitely watching. . . it’s tough to watch, to not have any control. Or to not be in those moments, moments of success and recognition. It’s different. Skating in shows you get recognized, but it’s different. You’re nervous because you’re excited to perform and show off. Whereas in competition, it’s more about wanting to do well for the judges.” The 24-year-old will skate in Canada’s Stars on Ice tour, which opens May 1 in Halifax. Then he’ll take a surfing vacation in Costa Rica before heading back to his training base in Detroit to train with coach Kathy Johnson. Chan said stepping away this season has been everything he’d hoped for. “And more so. There’s definitely at the beginning of the

Canada’s Patrick Chan waits for his marks for his men’s free program in the figure skating competition at the Sochi Winter Olympics February 14, 2014 in Sochi. Three-time world champion Chan is eager to return after taking a year off. year, there were moments where I was like ’Ooh, I don’t know if I want to do this. I don’t know if I made the right choice,”’ Chan said in a phone interview from Minden, Ont., where he was practising for Stars on Ice. “But then by mid-season to now, I’m completely happy and almost running out of time to do things I wanted to do. It’s been great, it’s been really, really great. I’m squeezing in every little bit of vacation time that I have, until I don’t have any for awhile.” Chan had a glorious opportunity to become Canada’s first Olympic men’s champion in Sochi, but struggled in his free skate to finish behind Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu. At a news con-
ference the next morning, he said it may “be years” before he went to bed without thinking about what he’d lost. It was a long while before he could bring himself to watch the tape of his skate. These past few months, he’s toured Japan and the United States with Stars on Ice, wrapping up recently in Seattle. He made the short trip from there to Vancouver for the Canucks’ playoff opener against Calgary. He watched the ice dance — and little else — at last month’s world figure skating championships in China, where his close friends and fellow Canadians Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje won bronze. He skimmed through replays of the men’s event, won by Spain’s Javier
Fernandez. “I’ve been following everyone throughout the season so I know what their programs look like,” he said on the men. His return will fill a huge hole in the Canadian team. Nam Nguyen of Toronto was Canada’s top men’s skater this season, finishing fifth at the world championships. But at 16, he’s not ready to step into Chan’s shoes yet. Chan will revamp his Chopin long program that helped him win gold at the 2014 Japan Open. He plans to return to a more “upbeat and fun” short program, with lyrics, a big departure from his serious Rachmaninoff program from the 2014 Olympic season. “It’s a comfort zone for me, that (fun) theme of program. So, I think that’s great to kick off the first season back after a year off,” Chan said. The seven-time Canadian champion hopes to approach competing much like he has his show performances. “I was in the tunnel (waiting to skate) in some of the cities in the U.S., where I had some family, and course I’m nervous, I want to do well for them. So I paid attention to that, like ’Maybe I should treat competition like this too,”’ Chan said. “I paid attention to how I handled that moment. Because when the music started I would lose all the nervousness and just get excited to skate and express and move and jump, and to get to the main cool part of the song. . .just the little things like that.”

Harris ready to get back to work COUNCILLOR WANTS TO PUT TAX ISSUE BEHIND HIM BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer City Coun. Paul Harris wants to continue his work without any more drama. The second-term councillor said he is ready to put the whole tax issue behind him and keep working for Red Deerians. Harris said council acted on the best information it had and seem to be satisfied with their position. “Council needs to get back to work and get on with the things that are important to the city and this isn’t one of them,” said Harris. On Tuesday, council booted Harris from the audit committee for not upholding his requirements as an elected official after failing to pay $6,594.95 in tax arrears on time. As a city councillor, Harris took an oath of office and agreed to uphold the requirements of his position under the Municipal Government Act and the Local Authorities Election Act. The MGA states a councillor must resign if he or she is disqualified for a variety of reasons including being in debt to the municipality. Harris said lawyers told him that the MGA can be interpreted in many ways. “They felt the city’s position, although reasonable, wasn’t necessarily the only interpretation,” said Harris. While council argued that the process was fair and appropriate, Harris felt there could have been
CENTRAL ALBERTA AIDS NETWORK SOCIETY
another way to handle the situation. “I would have been expected the courtesy of just being alerted that there was a potential problem brewing,” he said. Council determined it was in the best interest of the municipality as a whole to impose sanctions rather than force disqualification through the courts. Coun. Lynne Mulder, who voted against the resolution, said she did not agree with the process but she believes in the wisdom of council. Harris reiterated that he did not know the magnitude of not paying his corporate taxes on time. Harris said he was in the process of clearing up his debt when he was notified of the issue. His bill was paid within an hour, he said. Coun. Lawrence Lee said this has been a challenging issue for council. But Lee believes the MGA and its processes were clearly delineated and followed appropriately. Lee said council spent many hours deliberating on the various scenarios and options, looking at case law and consulting with legal counsel. “He paid his taxes right away and we didn’t think there was any intention to do anything dishonest,” said Lee. “It would be very hard for a judge to remove an elected official.” Lee said there’s no point in wasting the municipality’s money to take it to court. The door is still open, however, for any member of the electorate to file an affidavit requesting a disqualification, Lee said. Council expressed grief over the regrettable situa-
tion but also stressed its commitment to be transparent and open to the public. “It was a priority for council to ensure this wasn’t just swept under the rug or dealt with behind closed doors,” said Lee. Coun. Ken Johnston said councillors take an oath of office that binds them to the MGA and other appropriate legislation. Johnston said he considers the stance a reflection of the council’s commitment to accountability and transparency. “In a difficult situation we dealt with it in a professional and appropriate way,” said Coun. Dianne Wyntjes. “When there are difficult decisions, it tests council’s mettle. But I feel comfortable with this resolution that For me, it tests my personal accountability, our transparency as council for ourselves and our community and adhere to the MGA.” This is not the only case of an Alberta council slapping the wrists of one of its own for breaches under the MGA. Last June 2014, the Fort Macleod town council suspended Mayor Rene Gendre from boards and committees for six months and stripped him of duties for various offences including inappropriate behaviour and disclosing confidential information. The town renewed the sanctions again in February. The Town of Gibbons imposed sanctions on Mayor Doug Horner limiting his roles and responsibilities for six months for unprofessional and offensive behaviour in July 2014. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Burnt Lake thief caught on video BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A brazen crime was caught on video, as the owners of a north Red Deer area business have footage of a truck smashing their gate and making off with a trailer. Nor-Ag Ltd. owner and manager Mike Harbor called the whole ordeal frustrating, but said he got a good picture of one of the suspects who barreled into his business’ compound early Saturday morning. The business is located in the Burnt Lake Industrial Park northwest of Red Deer. It was the second time this year Nor-Ag has been the victim of a robbery. The first time was in February when a diesel truck and trailer was stolen from the same lot. At the time it was plugged in at the back of the compound. “It’s very frustrating,” said Harbor. “It’s a double swinging gate so they just backed up to it with the back end of the truck they had and busted through.” Around 6:50 a.m. the culprits came into the business lot and waited until the employees, who had arrived about five minutes prior, working that morning had loaded up their trucks before they returned and pushed through the gate in the fenced off compound. “They hooked up a skidsteer trailer and drove away,” said Harbor.
Though the crime took place before 7:45 a.m., it wasn’t until about 9:30 a.m. that staff realized what had happened. They called Blackfalds RCMP and a police file was generated. They had installed video cameras two weeks before the February theft, but they weren’t operational yet. Armed with video evidence this time, Harbor said they turned it over to police to aid in their investigation. “The video has a pretty good description of the one guy walking through the front and some pictures of them hooking the trailer up to the truck,” he said. The skid steer trailer stolen Saturday was recovered in a field out by Joffre later that day. Harbor said the trailer was still full when it was recovered. The last time Harbor can recall having a trailer stolen from the business was in either 2004 or 2005 from the company’s shop in Edgar Industrial park in Red Deer. Talking with neighbouring businesses, Harbor said there have been other robberies in the area recently and that’s causing concern for local business owners. Anyone with information about this incident or others is asked to call Blackfalds RCMP at 403-8853300. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Central Alberta AIDS Network Society has a new initiative — The Women’s Program — to support pregnant and postpartum women. Jennifer Vanderschaeghe, executive director of the harm reduction agency, said it’s all about assisting women without judgement at whatever stage they are at when it comes to drug use, involvement in prostitution, or homelessness. She said street-involved women face a lot of negativity and often suffer unhealthy pregnancies. “Prevention work we can do pre-birth and postbirth really saves money in the long term, but also really creates stability in families that haven’t traditionally had this much support in Red Deer,” Vanderschaeghe said on Thursday. Clients can receive assistance to access health and social supports with the help of a peer outreach worker, who identifies with clients and knows the issues they face, along with two part-time nurses to provide medical support. Vanderschaeghe said staff can help clients prepare for medical appointments, be with them during appointments, and debrief them afterwards. “Sometimes things can just be super overwhelming. They can be even more tricky when you’re going in and you think everyone is judging you. “We’ll work really hard to make sure that women are housed and supported. And we’ll also support the mom after she gives birth, whether she’s parenting or not, and link people into a whole bunch of services.” The program is also open to women in need of birth control planning. Based on Healthy, Empowered and Resilient (HER) Pregnancy Program developed by Streetworks in Edmonton, the Red Deer program is only the second of its kind in Alberta. Vanderschaeghe said the highly successful HER program started out as a pilot six years ago. Statistics show that 53 per cent women who likely would have had their children apprehended by child services were able to parent due to HER. Both programs receive funding from Alberta Health. The Women’s Program is funded for three years, plus three months for start up. For 2015-16, the CAANS program received almost $250,000. The program began accepting clients on April 1 and so far one client has given birth. Among the seven clients so far, four are currently pregnant and two are postpartum. “We’re really excited with what we’ve seen so far and what we’ve heard from clients on the need for the program,” Vanderschaeghe said. An open house to introduce The Women’s Program to the community, more clients and professionals will be held on May 6, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at CAANS, located at 4611 50th Ave. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Several counties issue fire bans, advisories Thirsty soil and windy spots have forced some Central Alberta counties to issue fire bans or advisories in an effort to prevent grass and wildfires. Red Deer County is the first in the area to issue an outright fire ban. A release from the county issued Thursday said the ban applies to all outdoor fires presently burning in the county whether set with permission or by a permit should be extinguished immediately and no new outdoor fire in the county can be started. However, the ban does not apply to fires contained within cooking or heating appliances and are fuelled by fluids, cases or charcoal briquettes. This includes barbecues, smokers and outdoor heaters. Fires contained within industrial facilities for operations purposes are also allowed. The County of Stettler has issued a fire advisory prohibiting the issuance of new fire permits. However, existing permits will be allowed to complete their burning. Essential burning and fire pits are also permitted as long as they conform to county regulations. The advisory was issued on April 17. Similarly the Rocky Wildlife Management Area has had a fire advisory in effect since April 10. Fire permits have been suspended in the area, but safe campfires in campgrounds and back country or random camping areas are permitted. Ponoka County issued a fire advisory on April 15, not issuing any new burn permits. Existing burn permits, burn barrels with screens and cooking or warming fires are still permitted. The county is asking people to use extreme caution and take into consideration the dry and windy conditions. For more information on the ban and advisories visit www.albertafirebans.ca.

Red Deer College culinary instructor Garnett Schoettler judges the bison dishes in the first Chef Recipe Creation Challenge at the college this week.
Budding chefs at RDC create unique bison dishes in competition BY ADVOCATE STAFF Budding chefs at Red Deer College created bison recipes to please the palette on Tuesday. Nine students in the third year cook apprentice program submitted their recipes in an intense one-day competition with the goal to create unique, one-of-a-kind bison recipes. Student chefs selected from one of be room at each site for two graders, a snow plow truck and snow plow tractor as well as salt sheds. The remote shops will cut down on travel and hauling time for county works crews. Lodermeier said the original plan was to build one shop this year and tender the other next year. One shop will be built at Tees and the other near Sylvan Lake. However, potential builders have suggested there could be savings by tendering both at the same time. Originally, pegged at around $4.5 million, early estimates show the county may be able to bring the project in at about $4 million depending on tendering and other factors. Coun. Brenda Knight said it makes sense to take advantage of better pricing by going ahead with both shops now. “I think we have an opportunity to gain some economies of scale … let’s get them done,” she said. Council approved a motion to tender both this spring.
three different bison cuts: bison osso bucco, bison chuck roll or bison insides. They were judged on taste, presentation, creativity, use of local products and whether a home cook could make the recipe. Braised bison Cuban sandwich, bison and bacon sausage, bison rouladen (rolled with mushroom and cheese stuffing) were among the creations. The competition was a chance for students to connect with local produc-
ers of a food product indigenous to Central Alberta. The top three recipes will be featured on the Canadian Rangeland Bison & Elk Inc. website and be made into recipe cards displayed throughout Alberta where bison meat is sold. Students were encouraged to select local Alberta ingredients. The event was created in partnership with Alberta Culinary Tourism Alliance.

New cigar store in Red Deer CHEAP SMOKES & CIGARS CANADA BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR There are few places Jeff Lawrence would rather be than in a humidor. The owner of Cheap Smokes & Cigars Canada, whose newest franchise opened recently in Red Deer, gushes with enthusiasm as he describes the temperature- and humidity-controlled rooms in which cigars are stored. “You feel like you’re in Jamaica or Cuba, and it smells like cigars,” said Lawrence. “If you’re a true cigar lover, a walkin humidor is where it’s at.” The Red Deer store at 5B, 3301 Gaetz Ave. boasts such a feature, with the cigars inside displayed by country of origin and with information cards. “They come from all over the world, but the majority of the cigars that we have come from four countries: Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua and Cuba,” said Lawrence. “Ninety-seven per cent of the cigars in the world are made in those four countries. But Cheap Smokes & Cigars also carries cigars from places like Europe and even Canada, with approximately 200 names to choose from. “People really gravitate to the Cubans, but the reality is there are phenomenal cigars from all over the world,” said Lawrence.

CIBC shareholder vote on executive pay sends message over rich payout CALGARY — Shareholders made it known they’re unhappy with rich payouts to two former executives at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s annual general meeting on Thursday. An advisory resolution on the bank’s approach to executive compensation was voted down by nearly 57 per cent of shareholders, with about 43 per cent voting in favour. CIBC (TSX:CM) raised some eyebrows recently when it disclosed it planned to pay two retired executives a total of $25 million on top of their existing pensions, even though they no longer work for the company. Under the “post-employment arrangements,” former chief executive Gerry McCaughey will receive $16.7 million by April 2016, while former chief operating officer Richard Nesbitt will be paid $8.5 million, according to regulatory documents filed by the bank. Thursday’s vote is non-binding, but CIBC said in its proxy circular it would “consider the outcome of the vote as part of its ongoing review of executive compensation.”
Finance Minister says asset sales good value despite Coquitlam, B.C., land deal VICTORIA — Finance Minister Mike de Jong has released an accounting of two years of government surplus property sales to counter Opposition claims that Crown assets are being purged at fire sale prices to balance budgets. The sale of 14 properties in the Burke Mountain area of Coquitlam at $43 million below appraised value to a Liberal party donor sparked an uproar in the legislature for days. New Democrat justice critic Mike Farnworth said the Liberal government was “hosed” in the deal, especially when one piece of the 14 properties sold for $100,000 despite an appraisal of $5.6 million. New Democrat Leader John Horgan accused the government last week of selling the land after less that three months on the market to include the added $85 million in the government’s 2014 budget.

Customers can spend anywhere from $2.50 to $70 for a cigar, with special-order products going for as much as $150. Lawrence, who oversees six Cheap Smokes & Cigars franchises in Alberta, with three more scheduled to open within months, happily looks after quality control. “Every single thing that’s in there has been smoked by me and approved.” Cheap Smokes & Cigars stores also sells about 200 types of cigarettes. “We basically carry every cigarette that you can legally get in Canada,” said Lawrence, adding that the stores pride themselves on living up to their name when it comes to prices. They also sell chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco and E-juice, as well as related accessories. “We’re a tobacconist, so by definition we carry only tobacco and tobacco-related products,” said Lawrence. Access to the store is restricted to people 18 and older, which enables it to display it products prominently. That helps customers discover new and different options, he said. Cheap Smokes & Cigars got its start in Airdrie, where Lawrence lives, in 2009. He opened a second outlet in Olds the following year, and then began selling franchises. Outlets now also include Red Deer, Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray and
Bower Place is undergoing a change of clothes. RW & Co., a women’s and men’s clothing store that’s operated in the south Red Deer mall since 2009, is closing this Saturday. Poised to fill its space is Pseudio Clothing Company. Mall manager John Rooke said Pseudio will take possession of the premises on May 1 and should be ready to open by early summer. Founded in Halifax in 1985, Pseudio
now operates at more than 25 locations in the Atlantic provinces and also has new stores in Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Kelowna. “They seem to be expanding very aggressively into Western Canada,” said Rooke, who thinks the brand will do well in Central Alberta given the large number of transplanted Easterners here. Pseudio carries women’s and men’s clothing, and its brands include Vero Moda, Only, Guess, Oakley, FOX, Hurley, The North Face, Helly Hansen, East Coast Lifestyle and Metal Mul-
isha. RW & Co.’s parent company, Reitmans Ltd., announced in November that it was closing its Smart Set chain of stores, with many of these to be converted to other brands. Reitmans also owns the Penningtons, Addition Elle and Thyme Maternity names. “Their lease just naturally expired and they’re not looking to renew here,” said Rooke of the Bower Place RW & Co. The company appears to be doing the some same thing at some of its other RW & Co. locations, he added.
Ontario to lead export growth in 2015 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDC REPORT
MONTREAL — Ontario is expected to lead all other provinces in export growth this year before a recovery in oil prices in 2016 restores the fortunes of energy-producing provinces like Alberta, according to a report issued Thursday by Export Development Canada. After years of challenges, exports of goods from Canada’s manufacturing heartland are forecast to grow by 10 per cent to $195 billion following last year’s eight per cent growth, courtesy of strong demand from a strengthening U.S. economy and a weaker loonie. The increase will be driven by pent up U.S. demand for automobiles and industrial machinery, the EDC says. “That’s the first time in a long while that that kind of growth has happened for Ontario,” chief economist Peter Hall said from Burlington, Ont. However, Ontario is forecast to move from best to worst in 2016 when its predicted two per cent growth will trail far behind Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador, whose exports are expected to grow 19 per cent to $120 billion and $13.3 billion respectively. The agency forecasts Canada’s exports of goods, which grew by 10.9 per cent to reach $491.6 billion in 2014, is expected to remain flat this year and grow by eight per cent in 2016. The value of energy exports is forecast to drop 23 per cent to $109 billion in 2015 even
though volumes will rise modestly, and then grow by 23 per cent in 2016. Quebec is expected to pump out solid export growth mainly from its aerospace, automotive parts and forestry sectors, producing growth of seven per cent in 2015 and six per cent in 2016. Aerospace is expected to lead with 17 and 20 per cent growth over the next two years, helped by the entry into service of Bombardier’s CSeries aircraft. Metals and ores will see modest growth despite weaker prices, while lumber exports are forecast to rise six per cent on higher U.S. housing starts. The agency forecasts that oil prices — which dropped 34 per cent since last year — will recover to US$61 a barrel in 2015 and to US$71 in 2016. After growing by 9.4 per cent last year, non-energy exports are forecast to increase by nine per cent this year to $381.1 billion and three per cent in 2016. They will be led by fertilizers, aircraft and parts, advanced technology, automotive and consumer goods. Agricultural and food exports are tapped to rise eight per cent in 2015 to $60.8 billion. Stronger demand particularly from Asia’s growing middle class is expected to boost seafood exports by 17 per cent in 2015 on higher prices for lobster and crab. Exports are forecast to slip in 2016
because of capacity constraints after years of under investment in Canada, especially in the automotive and machinery sectors, the EDC said. Hall said industrial capacity constraints in the U.S. creates a big opportunity for Canadian companies and could deliver stronger export growth than forecast. “We’re looking at the possibility of a tsunami of investment in the U.S. and that’s going to be good for everybody,” he said. EDC’s forecast for the American economy is 3.6 per cent growth in 2015 and 3.3 per cent in 2016. The outlook for Canadian GDP growth is 2.4 per cent for both 2015 and 2016. “If we can somehow find the capacity to meet the growth that’s coming our way then we could see brighter numbers, particularly for Central Canada,” Hall said. Meanwhile, figures provided by the EDC show Canada’s territories will be the overall leader in export growth in 2015, rising 12 per cent from $2.2 billion in 2014 before falling to eight per cent growth in 2016. Other provinces and their predicted export growth in 2015 and 2016: Prince Edward Island (nine and four per cent), Nova Scotia (seven and three per cent), New Brunswick (-10 per cent and 11 per cent), Manitoba (two per cent and three per cent), Saskatchewan (minus five per cent and seven per cent) and British Columbia (five per cent and six per cent)
U.S. new-home sales slump 11.4 per cent in March BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Sales of new U.S. homes plummeted in March, as the spring buying season opened with sharp declines in the Northeast and South. The Commerce Department said Thursday that new-home sales fell 11.4 per cent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 481,000. This marks a swift reversal from an annual sales pace of 543,000 in February, which had been the strongest performance in seven years. Purchases of new homes have been volatile on a monthly basis, although sales during the first quarter of 2015 are higher than in 2014. The volatility points to a real estate market still finding its footing in the aftermath of

the housing bubble that triggered the Great Recession in 2007 and the weak recovery that has followed. “The pace is sluggish, but the trend in new home sales is still higher, said Jennifer Lee, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. ”Don’t be surprised to see a bounce back in April.“ New-homes sales last month plunged 33 per cent in the Northeast and 15.8 per cent in the South, while the West registered a slight loss and the Midwest reported a modest gain. The median sales price fell 1.7 per cent since March 2014 to $277,400. Despite last month’s sales decline, homebuilders are hopeful that the spring buying season will draw more buyers. Winter storms in January and February closed construction sites and likely pushed back potential March sales to later in the year. At the same

time, a yearlong hiring spree coupled with low mortgage rates has expanded the number of people shopping for a home. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index rose in April, and the outlook for sales of single-family houses over the next six months climbed to its highest level since December. In a separate report Wednesday, sales of existing homes surged in March. The higher demand, however, has yet to cause additional listings to come onto the market. That could prompt construction firms to quicken the pace of building, leading more buyers to choose to purchase a new home instead. Sales of existing homes rose 6.1 per cent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.19 million, the National Association of Realtors said in its report.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 87.58 points at 15,392.35 after dropping 41.67 points Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar gained 0.55 of a U.S. cent to 82.33 cents. Ben Jang, a portfolio manager at Nicola Wealth Management in Vancouver, says the Toronto market benefited from higher commodity prices. “It’s really driven off of the energy names today in Canada and that’s from the geopolitical instability,” said Jang. “Saudi Arabia is continuing their aerial assault on the rebels in Yemen, so there’s concern about a constriction on the supply side.” The metals and mining sector was the biggest gainer on the TSX, up 2.84 per cent, while the energy sector gained 0.9 per cent. On the commodity markets, the June gold contract rose $7.40 to US$1,194.30 an ounce after plunging more than $16 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, oil rose $1.58 to $57.74 a barrel and May copper advanced 2.9 cents to US$2.69 a pound. In New York, the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 20.89 points to 5,056.06, beating its previous record high close of 5,048.61 set during the dot-com boom in March 2000. The Dow gained 20.42 points to 18,058.69 and the S&P 500 advanced 4.97 points to 2,112.93. “It’s a bit more volatile, a bit more oscillating, but we are seeing higher thresholds being reached in the markets,” said Jang.

General Motors reported income that fell short of analysts’ expectations, while P&G saw its earnings shrink roughly eight per cent compared with a year ago. 3M also reported lower profits due to the strong U.S. currency. In economic news, April manufacturing data from Europe, China and Japan were all weaker than expected. Manufacturing in China fell to its lowest point in a year, an indication that growth is slowing in the world’s second-largest economy. Japanese manufacturing declined for a third consecutive month, suggesting some industries have not yet recovered from the recession brought on by the sales tax hike introduced last April. Meanwhile, a survey of European manufacturing also fell in April due to weakness in the continent’s two largest economies, Germany and France. “The market is really looking through that,” said Jang. Sears Canada (TSX:SCC) closed down 1.68 per cent at $9.35 after announcing it will carry a new line of Wayne Gretzky menswear, in an exclusive partnership with the Canadian hockey celebrity.

Nasdaq index reaches record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Fifteen years after peaking during the dot-com boom, the Nasdaq composite has reached a new all-time high. But this isn’t the Nasdaq of Pets. com and Webvan, when companies were valued on “cash burn rates” and “eyeballs.” This Nasdaq, while still focused on technology companies, is a little more diversified than it was back then. And while the index, which tracks 2,500-plus stocks, has been steadily climbing since 2011, its ascent isn’t the crazed surge that preceded its last record close. As the tech-mania took hold, investors pushed up the prices of all kinds of internet-related stocks. Some were never profitable and disappeared. Others, like Priceline.com and Amazon, have survived and prospered. Now the index has clawed back. It has ridden a six-year bull market for stocks to close at 5,056.06 on Thursday, surpassing its previous record closing high of 5,048.62, reached on March 10, 2000. The index ended the day up 20 points, or 0.4 per cent, and has climbed 7 per cent this year, by far the best performance among major U.S. stock indexes. The headline number aside, the Nasdaq today is very different from the index and the overall market at the height of the technology boom, says Karyn Cavanaugh, a senior market strategist at Voya Investment Management. Investors have much more measured expectations of companies’ future earnings compared with the frenzied dot-com years. During the boom “everybody was buying stocks, the cafeteria people were talking about their stocks,” said Cavanaugh, adding that now, “I don’t feel there’s the same frothiness. If it’s a party, it’s one of the most subdued ones I’ve ever been to.” There’s another caveat to consider. Taking the effect of inflation into account, the index would have to reach 6,908 to match its highs from 15 years ago. Here’s a closer look at the Nasdaq then and now:
THE DRIVERS:
Now The Nasdaq’s current rise has been driven by technology and health care. In a slow-growth world, investors favour industries where earnings will be better than average. Tech stocks are poised to benefit as companies increase their spending on equipment and software to cut costs and improve productivity. Health care stocks have been climbing as investors bet that biotechnology companies will discover the next blockbuster drug. Together, tech and health account for almost two thirds of the Nasdaq’s market value. One stock in particular holds sway over the Nasdaq: Apple. Its market value has surged to more than $750 billion from $22.5 billion in March 2000. The company accounts for 10 per cent of the Nasdaq’s value. Powered by tech and health care, the Nasdaq has climbed 22 per cent over the past year, a more tempered
rise than the 109 per cent surge in the year before its last peak in 2000. Then The Nasdaq had a much heavier tech-focus in 2000. At their peak, tech stocks made up 65 per cent of the index compared with 43 per cent today. Telecommunication companies were also a big component, accounting for 12 per cent of the index’s market value versus 0.8 per cent now. The biggest stock in the index was Microsoft with a market valuation of $525 billion. Apple had yet to release the iPod, iPhone or the iPad.
HOW EXPENSIVE ARE STOCKS?
Now The price-earnings ratio of the Nasdaq, a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for every dollar of earnings the companies in the index generate, is 21. Then When the Nasdaq was at its highest, its price-earnings ratio reached 194.
BROADER STOCK MARKET:
Now Both the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial average are trading close to record highs from last month, The stock market is being underpinned by solid company earnings and optimism that the economy will continue to strengthen gradually. Then The S&P 500 was also surging in 2000, rising with the internet bubble. The S&P 500 peaked at its then-record close of 1,527.35, on March 24, 2000. The Dow closed at a record of 11,722.98 on Jan. 14, 2000.
NASDAQ HEAVYWEIGHTS:
Now Apple is the titan and Microsoft is a distant second with a market value of $356 billion. Google, Amazon and Facebook round out the top five. The top 20, however, also includes Starbucks, pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts and retailer Costco. Then When the Nasdaq reached its record in 2000, Microsoft was the biggest company in the index. Cisco, Intel, Oracle and Sun Microsystems completed the top five. The biggest 20 companies in the index were in technology or telecommunications.
CORPORATE EARNINGS:
Now Company earnings have been rising steadily since the Great Recession and are at record levels. But there are signs that, after six years of growth, they may be starting to stagnate. Earnings per share for the average S&P 500 company are forecast to end 2015 little changed from a year earlier, according to S&P Capital IQ. Then Company earnings surged in 2000. The average S&P 500 company increased its earnings per share by almost 12 per cent. The hangover came a year later though, when earnings slumped by 19 per cent.

This is the first novel by Hollie Adams and she takes a huge chance in writing about someone like Carrie.

There is a lot to think about when you lose a parent — the funeral, the flowers, the people who must be informed, and also what to wear. Her sister has taken on these jobs with little help from Carrie. For her part, Carrie appears to be out to irritate family members, her ex-husband and her daughter Kate, to say nothing of her boss and others at work. She even gets fired — isn’t that a gas!

‘Out Came the Sun’ tells how a Hemingway made sense of her family’s troubles Out Came the Sun by Mariel Hemingway
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Born into one of America’s best-known families, Mariel Hemingway grew up with the advantages of sharing the name of her grandfather Ernest Hemingway and the burden of growing up in a family at least as dysfunctional as it was famous. Out Came the Sun is her memoir of growing up Hemingway, flirting with an intermittently successful film career, a number of difficult relationships and finally of finding her own voice — a progression toward self-awareness evident in the strength of writing later in her book. Mariel Hemingway writes of the surreal experience of attending first grade at Ernest Hemingway Elementary School as she was growing up in Idaho, and how some classmates reacted with resentment once they made the family connection. She writes of tensions in her parents’ marriage often made worse with bouts of drinking. While growing up, Mariel Hemingway eventually learned that about five months before she was born, her famous grandfather, living in Idaho at the time, shot himself in the head with his shotgun at age 61. This was one of several suicides in the Hemingway family, including the writer’s father, Clarence, and brother, Leicester. “Throughout my life, people have spoken of the Hemingway curse,” she writes, referring to issues like alcoholism, mental illness and suicide. “It was a nasty word that suggested a lack of control.” One sister, nicknamed Muffet, suffered from mental illness, and another, Margot, overcame her disorganization and insecurity to become one of the nation’s top supermodels, later known as Margaux, who got a chance at acting in movies, but never broke through. Margaux got a role in the 1976 thriller Lipstick, that also provided a role for her younger sister, Mariel. Ironically, Mariel got the better reviews.
Mariel got a break when Woody Allen offered her the role of Tracy, a high school student and Allen’s lover in the movie Manhattan. She received an Oscar nomination as best supporting actress, and seemed on her way to a promising film career. She writes that Manhattan did wonders for her confidence and “helped strengthen my still-fragile self-image.” She became close friends with Allen while making the movie, and he later visited her at her family home in Idaho and even invited her to Paris, but Hemingway turned down his request. Hemingway got several other roles in movies, but seldom matched the success she had in Manhattan. And her string of personal relationships ranged from a liaison with filmmaker Robert Towne, fending off advances from director Bob Fosse and a sometimes difficult marriage that gave her two children, but finally dissolved after she and her husband had been together for 25 years. When she got another offer to be in a Woody Allen film, Deconstructing Harry, almost two decades later, she was crushed to learn that it was a small part. “I had dreamed that Woody would relaunch me in my thirties as he had launched me in my teens,” she writes, “but instead the experience just seemed to prove that I was destined to be out on the margins of the film world.” The 1996 suicide of her sister Margaux and the death of her father several years later caused Mariel Hemingway to take stock of her family’s troubles and reflect on why she should tell that story. She helped make a documentary examining her family’s troubles — Running From Crazy — and she wrote this memoir. “Everyone needs to take control of his or her life by making sense of it,” she writes. And as she examined her own family’s troubles she became increasingly aware of how many people have to overcome such troubles. She is sometimes asked: “What is it like to be part of the Hemingway family?” But she writes that she “spends much more time thinking about what it is like to be part of the much broader family of flawed, hopeful, intermittently improving humans.”
NATIONAL BUSINESS BOOK AWARD
Alfred Hermida wins National Business Book Award for Tell Everyone BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Journalist Alfred Hermida has won this year’s National Business Book Award. He landed the $20,000 prize on Thursday for Tell
Everyone: Why We Share and Why it Matters (Doubleday Canada), which analyzes social media. Hermida is associate professor at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He’s also worked as a BBC journalist and was a founding news editor of the BBC News website in 1997. Hermida beat out reporter Jacques Poitras and marketing strategist Clive Veroni for the award. This is the 30th anniversary of the prize.
cat that leaves evidence of his presence on every surface. There is the list entitled People You’re Sure Your Mother Hired From Beyond the Grave to Drive You Insane. And What to do About Mice In Your House. Truth to tell, I do not find this a funny book, but the author won’t mind that, because she knows lots of people will find it hilarious. Drinking too much, slagging people, especially your own kin, telling lies, etc., do not make me laugh. Call me a prude. But this is Adams’s first novel, and I think she has a fresh voice and an odd wit that will take her far. The publisher, NeWest, believes in the book, to be released on May 1, with simultaneous publishing on ebook, and they are no dummies. Hollie Adams lives in Calgary. I am curious: could that possibly be a young Natalie Wood on the cover of the book, behind all that yellow writing? Peggy Freeman is a local book reviewer.

Popular pesticide hurting wild bees: study BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A common type of pesticide is dramatically harming wild bees, according to a new in-thefield study that outside experts say may help shift the way the U.S. government looks at a controversial class of chemicals. But in the study published by the journal Nature on Wednesday, honeybees — which get trucked from place to place to pollinate major crops like almonds— didn’t show the significant ill effects that wild cousins like bumblebees did. This is a finding some experts found surprising. A second study published in the same journal showed that in lab tests bees are not repelled by the pesticides and in fact may even prefer pesticide coated crops, making the problem worse. Bees of all kinds — crucial to pollinating plants, including major agricultural crops — have been in decline for several reasons. Pesticide problems are just one of many problems facing pollinators; this is separate from colony collapse disorder, which devastated honeybee populations in recent years but is now abating, experts said. Exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides reduced the density of wild bees, resulted in less reproduction, and colonies that didn’t grow when compared to bees not exposed to the pesticide, the study found. Scientists in Sweden were able to conduct a study that was in the wild, but still had the in-the-lab qualities of having control groups that researchers covet. They used 16 patches of landscape, eight where canola seeds were coated with the pesticide and eight where they weren’t, and compared the two areas. When the first results came in, “I was quite, ’Oh my God,”’ said study lead author Maj Rundlof of Lund University. She said the reduction in bee health was “much more dramatic than I ever expected.” In areas treated with the pesticide, there were half as many wild bees per square meter than there were in areas not treated, Rundlof said. In the pesticide patches, bumblebee colonies had “almost no weight gain” compared to the normal colonies that gained about a pound, she said. University of Illinois entomologist May Berenbaum, who wasn’t part of either study and last year was awarded

A bumblebee sits atop a gray-headed coneflower in Dauphin, Pa. A common pesticide is dramatically harming wild bees, according to a new in-the-field study that outside experts say may shift the way the U.S. government looks at a controversial class of chemicals. the National Medal of Science, said in an email that the studies “indicate that, at least with current technology, systemic use of pesticides is fraught with environmental problems.” The European Union has a moratorium on the use of neonicotinoids and some environmentalists are pushing for the same in the United States. Rundlof conducted her study just before the European ban went into effect in 2013. “This paper has the potential of really shifting the conversation,” said University of Maryland entomologist Dennis vanEnglesdorp, who wasn’t part of the study. “Neonics may have a very dramatic effect on these nonmanaged pollinators in the environment. This is the most definitive work I’ve seen in the area.” One of the more interesting aspects of Rundolf’s study is that she couldn’t measure an effect on honeybees, just wild native bees. There may be an effect but it would be under 20 per cent, she said. The different species of bees

Lund University. David Fischer, director of pollinator safety for neonicotinoid manufacturer Bayer CropScience, emphasized the lack of harm found in honeybees, saying “that’s the part of the story that seems to be not being paid attention to.” He said this should be reassuring for beekeepers. Fischer faulted the Rundlof study for using unrealistically large amounts of the pesticide — 2.5 times what is applied in the United States. He called it “an overdose.” But Rundlof said she used dosages recommended in Bayer CropScience documents that she provided. Bee scientist Jeff Pettis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the Rundlof study finds the pesticide is a real problem for wild bees and “it does it under real world, well-replicated conditions” while using realistic doses.

respond differently and that only results in confusion because until now, scientists have used the domesticated honeybees as the model for all bees. Scientists speculated why there is a difference. It could be that honeybees, which have colonies in the tens of thousands, can absorb more losses than the more solitary native bees, which have smaller colonies and have more difficulty getting new queens, Rundlof said. It could be that because honeybees are more social, “they are probably much better adapted at taking abuse,” said vanEnglesdorp. While many large farms rely on honeybee colonies, a 2013 study found that wild bees and other insects were more important in pollination than previously thought and far more efficient at pollination than honeybees. Plus, the wild flowers around the world are mostly pollinated by wild bees, said Rundolf’s co-author, Henrik Smith of

Woman can’t obtain late husband’s drums Dear Annie: My husband died 11 years ago. Our son, “Marcus,� was 6 at the time. His dad was in intensive care for two months, and because of his young age, our son was not allowed to see his father. Before he died, my husband asked his MITCHELL younger broth& SUGAR er to keep his drum set until Marcus turned 18. Marcus’ uncles used to call him every year on his birthday, which also is his father’s birthday. But since my husband died, neither has called to wish their nephew a happy birthday. Marcus will be 18 soon. He is into music and wants the

drums. I have asked his uncle on several occasions by sending a message on Facebook. I also asked my son’s half-brother (from my husband’s first marriage) to get the drums, and Marcus would pick them up from his house. Nothing has happened. I recently noticed a picture on Facebook of a guy who used to play in a band with my late husband. In the photo, he is playing drums that look suspiciously like the ones that belong to my son. Marcus has nothing of his father’s. He was not included in any decisions on what to sell or what to keep, or even asked what he’d like to have. He was also given his dad’s El Camino, but my husband put the title in the name of Marcus’ half-brother, who sold it. He didn’t even give my son any of the money from the sale. That was bad enough, but Marcus only really cares about the drums. The entire family knows that my late husband wanted Marcus to have the drums. What should I do? File a lawsuit?
How do I honor my late husband’s wishes and give my son this final gift from his dad? —Distraught Mom of a Musician Dear Mom: Is anything in writing? If not, you might need to file a lawsuit, but in order to prove your case, you probably will need other credible witnesses to testify that your husband’s wish was for Marcus to have the drum set. An attorney will let you know if you have a case. But a lawsuit should be a last resort. Please stop asking for personal things on Facebook. Pick up the phone. Call the uncle who supposedly has the drum set. Be nice. Tell him what a wonderful birthday present it would be for Marcus to finally have this memento from his father. Ask when would be convenient to pick it up and what you can do to facilitate the transfer. Marcus also can call his uncle. These relationships work both ways, and Marcus is old enough now to establish his own contact.
And if he is close to his half-brother or another paternal relative, perhaps you or Marcus could get the relative to intercede on his behalf. Dear Annie: “Holding My Breath� said she can’t kiss her husband because of his halitosis. I had bad breath for 10 years. I brushed, used mouthwash and saw the dentist regularly. I also had frequent problems with my digestive tract. Finally, after having an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, my gallbladder was found to be functioning at 17 percent. It was removed, and my bad breath and constant low-level nausea went away immediately. —Alabama Maggie Dear Maggie: Thanks for writing. Readers, please don’t assume these things are unimportant. They can indicate serious medical problems. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Steer clear of negative thinkers today — make sure the people around you are a positive influence. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Expect conflict between personal, professional and relationship responsibilities today. Creative projects and further education are favoured, as you strive to be the best Libran you can be. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trying to manipulate loved ones and control outcomes will just cause problems today Scorpio. So consider swapping sulking, sarcasm and temper tantrums for cool, clever compromise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid making unpredictable money moves and, if a friend or family member offers you financial advice, don’t listen. You need nothing less than professional
guidance at the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you focus too much on work-related projects today, then your close relationships will suffer. The stars urge you to nurture loved ones with the time and attention they deserve. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re in a contrary mood and, if you’re not careful, you’ll just stir things up and court controversy. Instead, put energy into nurturing your body with healthy food and a fun form of exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Friendly Fish are in the mood to mix and mingle to the max, as the stars jump-start your social side. But you will need to be extra understanding with a troubled child, teenager or friend. Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist.

LESS IS MORE GORDIE TENTREES BRINGS FANS UP TO SPEED ON WHAT HAS BEEN ON HIS MIND FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS ON HIS NEW ALBUM BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF
From the horrors of the Boston Marathon bombing to the ecstatic win of wheelchair athlete Jessica Frotten, a gamut of human emotions is explored on Gordie Tentrees’ fifth album. Less is More is the Yukonbased singer/songwriter’s new release. And you can think of it as his way of bringing fans up to speed on what’s been on his mind. “It’s a vignette — a time capsule of the last two to three years of my life,” said Tentrees, who performs on Wednesday, May 6, at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer. Some of the story songs on the album are very personal, such as Somebody’s Child. The tune came out of Tentrees’ experience in Boston, where his
wife ran the 2013 marathon at which two bombs were set off by extremist brothers, killing three people and injuring 264 others. The singer recalled he was headed to meet his wife at the finish line when two blasts sounded and smoke started billowing upwards about four blocks ahead. “It was completely strange. ... At first I thought they were shooting off cannons to celebrate. ...” Then Tentrees saw a bloodied man limping towards him, followed by a crush of people running from the same corner at which he was supposed to meet his wife. He started frantically searching the crowds for her face. “I didn’t know if she had finished yet ... I was thinking, oh, I hope she’s still running.” Please see TENTREES on Page D2

No time for self-pity, no place for blame BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Rodney DeCroo performs on Monday at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer.
The tunes on Rodney DeCroo’s latest album, Campfires On the Moon, can be considered his Songs of Experience. After all, there was little innocence in DeCroo’s childhood. And his new release reflects on this. With a Vietnam War soldier father who drank too much and was prone to violence, and a mother who escaped into evangelical religion, it was a time of extremes for the sensitive boy. “My difficulty was that my personality was founded on trauma,” said DeCroo, who performs on Monday at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer. “All my instincts (swing) the wrong way.” Stupid Boy in an Ugly Town, a deceptively upbeat song, is the most autobiographical of the 10 new tracks on the album. The title, taken from a stage play DeCroo wrote and performed in B.C., sums up how he felt about himself while growing up in Pittsburgh, Pa., a blue-collar steel town that had fallen on hard times. “I had no self-esteem,” recalled the Vancouver-based singer. But he doesn’t want to come across as a victim any more than he desires to paint his parents as villains of his story. “There’s no time for self-pity and no place for blame,” DeCroo added,
since his mom and dad had their own difficulties — including his American father getting drafted at age 19 to a brutal war that offered no counselling for returning soldiers. He now knows his dad, who escaped to Canada to avoid redeployment in Vietnam, had PTSD and effectively passed it down through his erratic behaviour. DeCroo understands why he experiences flashbacks during stressful episodes in his life, since he began seeing a counsellor who specializes in dealing with police officers, firefighters, soldiers and other people who have been through emotional trauma. “When adults are angry, they direct their anger at others, but a child directs anger inward, thinking there’s got to be something wrong with me,” said the singer, whose Stupid Boy song deals with the fact he’s learned to become a more self-accepting person now. Other songs on the album are no less autobiographical, but the poetic lyrics are less direct, so listeners can assign their own meaning to the tunes, said DeCroo. Tear All Lovers Down is about the need to overcome cynicism and White Circle is about transcending problems. Other intimate songs deal with regret, loss, aging, memory, love, death and art — the whole shebang.

Fairy-tale romance delightful, ludicrous The Age of Adaline Two stars (out of four) Rated: PG-13 BY STEPHANIE MERRY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
TENTREES: Songs spring from a deep place It took about five minutes for his spouse to track down a cellphone and call him to say she was OK. It turned out she had finished the marathon just nine minutes before the carnage happened and had been resting a block away from where the bombs went off. “The scariest thing was when a bomb squad pulled up in front of a building and people were saying. ‘There are more bombs — run!’ ” Tentrees recalled. “People were such in a panic, running every way they could. ...” When the Canadian couple got back to their bed and breakfast, they saw the blasts replayed on the TV news.
she is. So begins a fairy-tale romance that can be delightfully preposterous but also ludicrously flimsy. For starters: who is Adaline? We never get a sense of her beyond her many accomplishments. She can read Braille and speak Portuguese; she could probably beat Ken Jennings at Trivial Pursuit. And yet, she’s inscrutable. Lively creates the loveliest shell imaginable, of course, but her sedate demeanor and wooden delivery make her seem like a robot. And kudos to her for trying to affect a retro cadence, but if her octogenarian daughter speaks like it’s 2014, why can’t she? Luckily, Ellis supplies enough energy to make up for Adaline’s personality deficiency. He’s quirky and earnest, sending Adaline a “bouquet” of books, including White Oleander and Daisy
Miller. And never has a guy been so blatantly vulnerable about his loveydovey feelings. Their pas de deux turns out to be occasionally thrilling and quite romantic, but the story flies off the rails when he takes her to meet his parents. His astronomer father, William (Harrison Ford in eye-magnifying glasses), used to know Adaline. In fact, the two were “very close,” he says multiple times. But does this mean what we think it means? The Age of Adaline won’t get into the salacious details of the 1960sera relationship because the idea of a woman sleeping with two generations of men in the same family is icky. Rather than spend time going down that rabbit hole, the movie distracts us by answering less interesting questions no one asked. For example, how
did Adaline manage to provide for herself after all these years? She was an early investor in Xerox, of course. And then there’s the scientific basis for Adaline’s condition, which is relayed occasionally by an overbearing narrator who provides more unintentional comedy than insight. He uses a lot of big, arcane words that might have been pulled off of the periodic table of elements, for all this unscientific viewer knows, as if anyone watching actually thought the plot was plausible. The melodrama has all the science of 18 Again! The Age of Adaline works best as a simple story of boy meets girl; girl falls in love; girl mulls whether or not to reveal that she’ll stay young forever. Everything else is just a lot of unnecessary noise.
“Nine minutes is not a long time,” concluded the singer, who remembers thinking “how lovely it was to be alive.” Three months later, the words “this could be anyone’s child” popped into his mind as he was contemplating the two bombers and the people they killed or injured that day. “And the song came out in one day, the whole thing,” Tentrees recalled. A counterpoint to Somebody’s Child on the Less is More album is the lighterhearted tune Deadbeat Dad. But it also springs from a deep place. Tentrees said his father was never in the picture while he was growing up, so he vowed he would always be there for his children — and he has. Although his two sons are from different relationships, Tentrees gets along well with both his ex-wife and his ex-longtime partner — to the degree that everyone goes camping together. “I have a modern family,” he said, with a chuckle. Although he feels lucky to have been involved with people who also made their children’s well-being their priority, Tentrees knows not everyone
is as fortunate. “I wrote that song on Father’s Day last year,” said the singer, when one of his sons handed him a present and told him he was a great dad. “I said, ‘Hey, your mother has helped me make that happen — in some ways, more than I have. She’s been supportive of what I’m doing.’ ” The new song Broken Hero is Tentrees’ ode to “everyday heroes,” while Wheel Girl tells of a particular hero — wheelchair athlete Jessica Frotten. Tentrees held a fundraiser when he heard 26-year-old Whitehorse native Frotten needed a new racing chair. Some $10,000 was raised, and the athlete became the national champion at para wheelchair racing. “I was reading about her story and I thought it was so inspirational,” added Tentrees, who hopes he captured some of that spirit in his song. The former teacher from Ontario has lived in Whitehorse for 16 years and finds no shortage of inspiration in the Yukon’s beautiful and austere environment. “It’s a very creative place, and it’s growing. But people make the place ... and everyone who is here
wants to be here.” Tickets for Tentrees’ 8:30 p.m. show with multi-instrumentalist Jaxon Haldane are $15 from the venue. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
DECROO: Coping skills improving DeCroo — who’s received a lot of acclaim and attention for this, his first new album in five years, including a cover story in the Georgia Straight — believes his life is getting easier as his coping skills improve. “I just take it one day at a time. ...” He hopes listeners will fill in his sparsely-worded tunes with their own details, and take comfort from the fact that most of life’s difficulties can be overcome with some help and persistence. The cover for his 7:30 p.m. show is $10. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Michiel Huisman and Blake Lively are young (well, sort of) lovers in ‘The Age of Adaline.’
1861D3-24
Arrested development is having a moment. HBO’s Girls, Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young and Adult Beginners, opening Friday, are but a few examples of the current fascination with men and women who are as needy, confounded and self-absorbed as small children. So it’s a little shocking to watch The Age of Adaline, which features a 20-something acting like a grownup. The title character doesn’t flash her privates in public or get blackout drunk or sleep around. She’s mature. She reads for pleasure, sips champagne in moderation and spends quiet evenings with her King Charles Spaniel. She’s a centenarian trapped in a 29-year-old’s body, and not figuratively speaking. She’s actually 106 years old. Blake Lively plays Adaline Bowman, a woman of many secret identities and hairstyles, who was rendered ageless sometime around Prohibition after a fluke involving both hypothermia and a lightning strike. In the year 2014, she goes by the name Jenny and pretends that her daughter, Flemming (Ellen Burstyn), is her grandmother. FBI agents once detained her with the encouraging promise that she had nothing to worry about; they just wanted to run some tests. Ever since, Adaline has been on the lam, changing her identity and town every decade to avoid becoming a lab rat or sideshow attraction. Therefore, she can never form a lasting relationship outside of her daughter and her dog. But then she meets Ellis (Michiel Huisman), who must be her soul mate if for no other reason than he is almost as excessively gorgeous as

One of the most exciting things about watching the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy for the first time was the way it made Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) an equal without suggesting that she was either an anomaly or a pioneer.
COMMENT Kennedy’s far earlier in the green-lighting process than Feige, but her decision-making so far shows some significant similarities — and differences. Thus far, all three directors who have been announced for new Star Wars movies are men: J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson, and Josh Trank. Like Marvel, Kennedy is clearly trying to work with a mix of established directors (Abrams) and more original voices (Johnson and Trank), though only time will tell if she fares better with Johnson and Trank than Feige did with Edgar Wright, the wildly innovative British action director who was recruited to and then booted from Marvel’s Ant-Man project. But when it comes to casting, Star Wars already has a different vibe from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens is well stocked with women, including Daisy Ridley; Christie, who established herself as a formidable action actress as Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones; and Nyong’o, who won an Academy Award for her vocals earned him this description from Billboard Magazine: “The single most electrifying voice in Christian music.” His career has spanned three decades, earning Taff his Grammy Awards a well as 18 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards. He’s also been inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame. Pauls has performed in eclectic musical styles, from “popera” to southern gospel and hard rock. His upcoming CD All About Love, and new soaring ballad, Make Forever Stay, have included contributions from acclaimed musicians and producer, such as David Foster. Everyone is welcome to the 7 p.m. concert, presented by the Deer Park church to promote conversations about spirituality.
Lois Lilienstein of Sharon, Lois & Bram fame has died at 78 TORONTO — Lois Lilienstein of Sharon, Lois & Bram fame has died. She was 78. Her son David Lilienstein said she died at home in Toronto surrounded by friends and family. She had a rare form of cancer, which was diagnosed last October. “She knew it was happening, she was at peace with it, and she died very peacefully and not in pain,” he said. “The care that she received at home through the various providers was stupendous.” Lilienstein, along with Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison, created the beloved series The Elephant Show, which ran from 1984 to 1989 on CBC. It also aired in the United States on Nickelodeon, where it was a consistent ratings draw. Hampson called Lilienstein “a woman of many ideas” who “would do anything” for her audience and was never concerned about being embarrassed. “It’s kind of hard to believe, we haven’t been singing together much in the last few years because Lois really had kind of withdrawn from all of that, but we were constantly in touch,” said a tearful Hampson.
work in 12 Years A Slave. The first spinoff Star Wars movie, Rogue One, stars a woman, too: Felicity Jones, who was nominated for an Oscar this year for her smart, tough turn as Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything. We’re months, and in some cases years, away from knowing how these casting decisions will pan out. In the early going, at least, it’s exciting to see Kennedy’s slate of movies give a new generation of actresses a chance to stretch beyond what audiences already know of them, as with Nyong’o and Jones, or, in the case of Christie, to continue building their credentials as action stars. George Lucas may have set Star Wars “a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away,” but one of the most exciting things about watching the original trilogy for the first time was the way it made Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) an equal without suggesting that she was either an anomaly or a pioneer. Kennedy has an opportunity to set a new standard for how Hollywood does business in a similarly matter-of-fact way. She’s got the reins to a giant franchise. Let’s hope the Force is strong in her, too. “We fought like sisters but we loved each other like sisters, too. I just miss that relationship.” Morrison said Lilienstein was “absolutely vivacious, creative, full of ideas and energy.” “She came from a different musical place than Sharon and me. Sharon and I came out of the folk music world and she came out of the Broadway world. So it was a very interesting combination and I think that partly explains the success that we had,” Morrison said. “(It’s) very sad. It’s a shock. We’ve been together for 37 years. It’s like a marriage.” The three-time Juno Award-winning trio issued its debut One Elephant, Deux Elephants in 1978. The Elephant Show aired for 65 episodes, with each ending with the fan favourite Skinnamarink. In the late ’90s the group returned to the screen with Skinnamarink TV, which ran for 52 episodes. Lilienstein retired in 1998 after the death of her husband, Ernest, while Hampson and Morrison continued touring. Toronto city councillor Josh Matlow, who got to know the Lilienstein family when he worked to dedicate a Toronto park in Sharon, Lois and Bram’s honour, says he grew up with the group’s music. “She, along with Bram and Sharon, were part of the magic of our childhoods. Their music played a very special role in so many of our lives. Even today, those of us who are in our 30s and 40s can still sing verbatim the lyrics of Skinnamarink,” Matlow says. “Lois dedicated her career to making children the world over so happy by her music. And I think I know that we are all grateful.”

The Star Wars Celebration, a massive gathering of fans and a chance for Disney to promote the latest entries in George Lucas’s revivified franchise, has been over for three days, but the Force, and the lingering excitement produced by new teaser trailers, are still with us. And while I can’t wait to see Gwendoline Christie and Lupita Nyong’o in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I’m clapping my hands with excitement over the news that Rogue One will be a heist flick about the theft of the Death Star schematics, I’m waiting on some longer-term results. While it won’t exactly be a scientific study, the new Star Wars expansion gives us a chance to test a proposition that runs through many conversations about diversity in Hollywood: putting women in positions of power will mean more jobs for other women, both in front of and behind the camera. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who will oversee Disney’s development of the Star Wars franchise, has an impressive roster of smart action movies on her résumé: her first credit as a producer is Steven Spielberg’s E.T., and she went on to put together new entries in the canon including Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. While her credits don’t exactly suggest a rebellion against Hollywood’s existing order, throughout her career Kennedy has also steadily worked on movies about women’s inner lives like The Color Purple, A Dangerous Woman, The Bridges of Madison County, Persepolis and the forthcoming Emma’s War. The best point of comparison may be the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an expansive set of interlocking movies and television shows overseen by Kevin Feige. Like Star Wars, Marvel is another sprawling property with a strong creative voice at the top, rather than a studio where the chief executive has to put together a more varied mix of projects to appeal to different markets. Women have yet to direct any of the Marvel movies that Feige has put into production, and they have served or serving as showrunners on just two of Marvel’s television offerings, Agent Carter and the forthcoming A.K.A. Jessica Jones. Nicole Perlman became the first woman to write a Marvel movie, last summer’s wildly entertaining Guardians of the Galaxy, and she is set to co-write Captain Marvel with Meg LeFauve. There are female characters in Marvel movies, including field operative Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson, wringing the most out of a supporting part), S.H.I.E.L.D. executive Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and love interests like Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). More women are starting to get in on the action, including Sif (Jaimie Alexander), one of Thor’s fellow combatants, and Gamora, the fearsome fighter played by Zoe Saldana in Guardians of the Galaxy. But it’s only in Marvel television shows like Agent Carter, which stars Hayley Atwell, and the forthcoming Jessica Jones that women have been allowed to take center stage in Marvel projects.

CARSON With great love and deep sorrow our family announces Vesna Carson’s passing on the 15th of April in Red Deer at the age of 57. A cherished wife, a loving mother, a devoted sister, caring daughter, and loyal friend to all who felt the warmth of her infectious smile and kind heart, she enters into eternity to join her beloved father, Milorad (Mike) Ceklic. Her spirit and memory live on in her family; her husband James, her four children, Janine (Jeff), Michael, Victoria and Elliott and her grandson, Matthew. She will forever be in the hearts of her mother, Jelena, sister, Biljana (Ted), their children, Ted and Tessa, as well as her Aunt Viola, cousins Nada, Lora (Mark), Nick (Dana) and their children, as well as numerous other relatives and friends in Canada and Yugoslavia. Vesna loved spring, walking among the lilacs and delighted in her garden. Vesna had a passion for art; she appreciated the beauty in every day things around her and captured this in her painting and drawing. She loved life and her family, filling each occasion with her own unique traditions that will live on with her children. Born in Yugoslavia, Vesna arrived in Canada with her family in 1972. She and her family learned English and adapted to Canadian life. After graduation, Vesna worked in insurance and later in retail, even owning her own gift store. Most recently, she worked for Red Deer Public Schools. Wherever she was, Vesna never failed to forge great friendships; she had a gift for putting people at ease. Her kind heart embraced all with compassion and unconditional caring. The family invites all who loved Vesna to join us in celebrating her life and honouring her memory at 2 p.m Saturday, April 25th at St Leonard’s Anglican Church, 4241 44 St., Red Deer.

WIERSMA Mr George Wiersma of Lacombe, Alberta, was called home by his Lord and Savior on Sunday April 19, 2015, at the age of 87 years. He passed away in peace at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre. George was born March 28, 1928 in Tietjerk, Friesland, Holland to Okke and Maaike Wiersma, the second of four children. In 1939, at 11 years of age, together with his family he immigrated to Canada, travelling on the last passenger boat that left Europe before WW2 began. His father Okke had come to Lacombe, purchased a farm, planted and harvested a crop and made preparations to provide for his family whom he brought to the farm November 17, 1939. Being the eldest son George took up farming alongside his father at a young age acquiring a strong work ethic and a love for agriculture. On June 17, 1953 he married his lovely bride Swanie Hoeve and together they took over the family farm in the Lakeside Community. As a husband and a father he was a spiritual leader and a dedicated provider. His strong faith, humble wisdom, keen wit, and his commitment to God and family were very evident throughout his life. He felt immensely blessed and proud to be able to hold his first little “Wiersma” great granddaughter Aurelia, “a golden gift from God” shortly before his passing. George was predeceased by Swanie, his wife of 56 years, his infant daughter Sandra, his parents Okke and Maaike Wiersma, his parents-in-law Jack and Gerbrig Hoeve, his siblings Theresa (John) Salomons, Don (Sally) Wiersma, and in laws Tetsy (Frank) Tolsma, Bert (Wava) Hoeve, and Alice (George) Amunds. George will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his two sons Murray (Annette) Wiersma and Raymond (Tracey) Wiersma, grandchildren Carmen (Steve) McKerrow, Lindsay Wiersma, Amber (Johnathon) Nagel, Stuart (Kelsie) Wiersma, Meryl (Dave) McPherson, Erin (Troy) DeHaan and Evan, Cole, Zander and Conner Wiersma and great grandchildren Tori, Kiera and Jade McKerrow, Liam and Tobias Nagel, and little Aurelia Wiersma (just 16 days old at his passing). He is also survived by his brother Jack (Dottie) Wiersma and in-laws Dave (Helen) ten Hoeve and Charlie Hoeve. A Funeral service for George will be held at the Bethel Christian Reformed Church on Monday April 27 at 1:30 p.m. A special Thank you goes out to Dr. A.

Old standby body-weight Breast cancer in South Asian women often diagnosed at training still has moves later stage: study BY GABRIELLA BOSTON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Vibram running, Kangoo jump workouts, slide boards, six-minute abs, shake weights, the ThighMaster . . . fitness trends and gadgets come and go. But one type of exercise has stood the test of time: body-weight training. “There are so many fads and buzzwords out there, but body-weight exercise is the foundation for everything,” says Elizabeth Brooks, a personal trainer in the Washington area and owner of Effervescence Body by Brooks. “Pushing and pulling movements and lunging and squatting all translate into functional, day-to-day movement. If you can do a squat, you can get out of a car.” So what exactly does body-weight exercise mean? “Body-weight exercises are exercises performed without external resistance and loading of the body,” says Mike Fantigrassi, master instructor at the National Academy of Sports Medicine. “No resistance bands or weights.” Some exercises involve minimal equipment such as TRX suspension bands for pull-ups and Bosu balls for balance. But for the most part, says Fantigrassi, “you can do them anywhere.” Another plus, he says, is that they “tend to teach an integrated approach to exercise.” In other words, rather than isolating a certain muscle or muscle group, body-weight exercises tend to involve many parts of the body at once. For example, a push-up works the chest, shoulders, arms and abdominals. They also tend to put more demands on balance and coordination; think of how your body performs jumping jacks or one-legged squats as opposed to using a seated leg-press machine at the gym. You might wonder how you can progress — that is, move to a more difficult version of a given exercise — without external weights. But it’s easy, says Fernando Gomez, a personal trainer. Consider how to progress from the basic squat: Someone who is out of condition could work up to it by beginning with sitting in a chair and standing back up. Someone who is already fit, in contrast, could move up to jump squats — adding the short bursts of maximum force known as plyometrics. Similarly, if people want to work on upper-body strength, they could begin with a modified, assisted push-up with hands on a bench and feet on the floor, or a wall push-up. A stronger person could progress by doing push-ups with claps in between, Gomez says — or maybe even a handstand push-up. For pulling movement, a hard-core option would be the unassisted pullup, which engages the muscles of the back, the abdominals, the shoulders, arms, forearms and hands as well as the pelvic floor (which you use to keep your legs from swinging). So don’t assume body-weight exercise will be easy, says Gomez, adding that super-fit gymnasts are doing body-
weight exercises. “I believe body-weight exercises are for everyone,” says Brooks. “You just have to learn how to manipulate the sets and reps and how to progress certain movements.” There are a few limitations. Brooks, a former bodybuilder, warns that if you are going for pronounced biceps or some other look or shape, the integrated nature of body-weight exercises won’t provide that specificity. At the other end of the fitness spectrum, says Fantigrassi, some bodyweight exercises can be too challenging for obese people and others who are de-conditioned. They also aren’t as effective at loading the body — the spine in particular — for osteoporosis prevention. So he would “still do resistance training for older people.” Overall it’s hard to train the upper body with body-weight exercises unless you are already very strong, Fantigrassi says. Not everyone can do a pullup or a push-up and maintain good form, for example, but most people can do a chest press with light dumbbells. Brooks agrees, but says in the end it’s about modifying or progressing the movement to fit the client’s need and abilities. In fact, she uses body-weight exercises to help her diagnose and determine the needs of the client. The plank exercise — holding your body in a straight-backed push-up pose, resting on toes and forearms — can reveal a weak core if the hips sink. An unsteady forward lunge can reveal lack of balance.
Four basic body-weight exercises
Try these basic exercises recommended by personal trainer Elizabeth Brooks and National Academy of Sports Medicine master instructor Mike Fantigrassi. When you’ve got them down, move to the more difficult progressions.
Squat
Standing with the feet about hip width apart, sit back in the heels and then stand back up. Ten-12 reps. Progressions include the one-legged squat.
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Women of South Asian descent are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer in its later stages compared to the general population, while women of Chinese ethnicity tend to be diagnosed when the disease is at an early stage, an Ontario study has found. Given that Canadians have equal access to health services, the findings suggest programs to promote screening and early diagnosis among South Asian women should take into Dr. Ophira account cultural Ginsburg factors that may be roadblocks to seeking timely care, the researchers say. “There’s an education issue,” said medical oncologist Dr. Ophira Ginsburg, a scientist at the Women’s College Research Institute in Toronto, which led the study. “If you’re from a country where there is no preventive care in general, you go to the doctor if you’re very ill.... You may never have met somebody who’s survived cancer, (so) a pervasive belief that cancer is a death sentence would not be surprising.” In South Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, breast cancer and cancer in general are often taboo subjects. There is also often a sense of fatalism associated with the disease, said Ginsburg, who has also worked in Bangladesh. The study, published Monday in the journal Current Oncology, used the Ontario cancer registry to identify more than 41,000 Ontario women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2005 and 2010. Of those, 1,304 were of Chinese descent and 705 were South Asian. Researchers found South Asian women were more likely be diagnosed
when their breast cancer had already spread to lymph nodes or to other parts of the body — called stage II to stage IV malignancies — which can carry a worse prognosis. “What we were surprised to see was that the Chinese women in Ontario ... were more likely to be diagnosed with the smallest kind of tumours that are lymph-node negative — what we call stage I — than the average breast cancer patient in the province,” said Ginsburg. “And when we directly compared Chinese versus South Asian, we really saw a difference.” In a previous study, the research team asked women from South Asian communities in Ontario what factors prevented them from seeking care. One reason given was a cultural sense of collectivism, Ginsburg said, “that a woman’s value is more about assisting in the family’s prosperity and development and health and well-being, as opposed to ’It’s about me and I deserve it,’ which is more of a North American or Western mindset.” “We’re starting to look at these factors that the women from the communities are speaking about and finding better ways to enhance our health messaging, including to the men in the family,” she said. In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Aisha Lofters of St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto says the study has identified a health inequity among South Asian women that must be addressed in both Ontario and across Canada. Canadians of South Asian descent are the largest visible minority in the country, followed by those of Chinese ethnicity. In 2013, 20 per cent of permanent residents who had immigrated to Canada came from a South Asian country. “The authors have described a health inequality in stage at breast cancer diagnosis for South Asian women in Ontario — an inequality that certainly has the potential to be unnecessary and avoidable, unfair and unjust,” Lofters writes. “Now it falls to the oncology community — that is, to clinicians, researchers and policy makers — to act.”
Lunge
Forward lunge bending both legs. Alternate sides, doing 10-12 per side. Progressions include jumping lunges.
Push-up
Against a wall or inclined against a bench in a position that ensures a straight back and hips that stay up. Ten-12 reps. Progressions include traditional push-ups.
Pull-up
Starting at an incline, hold a strap looped around a bar and pull the body — which should be rigid — up. 10-12 reps. Progressions include full-body pull-ups.
