Your trusted local news authority ADVANCED POLLS
Extra day boosts turnout BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF After three days of advanced polling, turnout was expected to outpace last election’s benefiting from an extra day in the 2015 campaign. In the 2012 Alberta election, there was a total of three days of advanced polling. This election there are four days available for voters to cast their ballots ahead of the May 5 voting day. In Red Deer-South, turnout was anticipated to surpass 2012’s numbers. The first three days of advanced polls were comparable to the three days of 2012 and with the fourth day it is expected that the number of advanced votes cast will surpass last year. In 2012, Red Deer-South had a total of 1,598 advanced poll voters. For the first three days of the 2015 election they had 1,426. There are a total of 34,361 eligible electors in Red Deer-South “They’re happy to be voting and exercising their right to democracy,” said Jim Taylor, Returning officer. For Red Deer-North, returning officer Brenda Williams noted it had bee a good turnout with a steady pace so far. She said over the three days during the 2012 election they had 1,256 people cast ballots early. In the first three days of advanced polls this time around is 1,317. Without Saturday numbers, that will far surpass 2012’s advanced poll turnout. Red Deer-North has 31,988 eligible electors this time around. Out in Lacombe-Ponoka, returning officer Margaret Devries said they have had more than 1,700 people show up to advanced vote at the two locations in the rural riding over the first three days. She said that was about equal to all three days from last election and with the fourth day, and it being a busier Saturday, she said this election’s advanced poll turnout should far surpass last election’s. Lacombe-Ponoka has about 26,905 eligible electors. Taylor encouraged voters to bring the Election Alberta card they received in the mail to the polling station on election day.

Woolrich led a Jane’s Walk Saturday highlighting the presence of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design practices in downtown Red Deer.
An eye-opening walk JANE’S WALK OFFERS INSIGHT INTO CRIME PREVENTION BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Meandering around downtown, but viewing it through a different lens offered perspective on how design concepts can also be an approach to crime prevention. Steve Woolrich, owner SeCure consulting solutions — a crime prevention and security consulting firm, lead a Jane’s Walk through downtown Red Deer Saturday. Jane’s Walk is a global movement of free local walking tours, inspired by Jane Jacobs. Jacobs was a Toronto based journalist and urban planning theorist who argued for livable cities. Woolrich was one of the people who helped bring Jane’s Walk to Red Deer and has been leading the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design walk since the start. On the walk he highlights some basic principles of CPTED and points out where it is in use in the down-
town and where some improvement could make a difference. Businesses that have store fronts that come right up to the sidewalk make a difference. Woolrich pointed out that the creation of alcoves or nooks can lead to needle debris or urine and create little areas to hide in. Another highlighted feature was the use of windows. The transparency they provide can help reduce crime by facilitating more witnesses — allowing more people to see. However, Woolrich noted some windows that are tinted and only allow for one way view, which affects the ability to create witnesses. The same goes for the promotion of arts and culture. Referencing the Ross Street Patio, Woolrich said by bringing arts and culture to the city’s core it also brings more people. The positive activity can displace potential crime.

Election winds down in dogfight THREE-WAY RACE IN FINAL DAYS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta voters deliver their verdict Tuesday in an election campaign born out of faith, now climaxing in fear. It was supposed to be a 28-day victory lap for Premier Jim Prentice, who called the election a year earlier than mandated by law with 70 of the 87 legislature members in his Progressive Conservative tent. But campaign polls have the Tories in a three-way dogfight, their four-decade dynasty threatened by the rival Wildrose on the right and the surging NDP to the left. Political analysts say if Prentice wins majority government it will not be because of his campaign, but despite it. “It really has become a campaign plagued by gaffes and process stories rather than vision and platform,” says Bob Murray, vice president of research at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. Prentice called the election last month to gain a mandate on his proposed budget, which he called a paradigm-altering, 10-year blueprint to diversify revenue and lessen dependence on volatile oil royalties. It hiked dozens of taxes and fees while freezing or cutting spending across government and running up a debt for infrastructure that will hit $30-billion by the end of the decade. On campaign doorsteps the budget galvanized the Opposition Wildrose party and its new leader Brian

Jean, who criticized Prentice for not cutting deep enough while hiking taxes. And it galvanized the NDP party and Leader Rachel Notley, who criticized Prentice for cutting too deep while hiking taxes. “It was a budget that had something for everybody to hate,” says Lori Williams, a policy studies professor with Mount Royal University in Calgary. “Even though it has some very good elements and was good for working families, I think the number of increases in fees and the cuts made it a pretty unpopular budget.” Prentice has also had to deal with scandals, setbacks and rollbacks. He promised to stay the course on the budget only to announce two major changes to it on the campaign trail. He pledged deeper cuts to boards, agencies, and commissions while reversing a $90-million cut to charity tax credits. He has also had to ask Justice Minister Jonathan Denis to resign from cabinet over a court action
involving Denis’s estranged wife and was forced to address leaked text messages suggesting his party forced out Calgary-area candidate Jamie Lall before the campaign began. Political analysts say win or lose, Notley has been the story of the campaign. The NDP won just four seats and 10 per cent of the popular vote in the last election. Under Notley, the polls suggest the New Democrats could dominate Edmonton this time around and a even make a breakthrough in the Tory fortress that is Calgary. Notley, a lawyer and daughter of former provincial NDP leader Grant Notley, soared in popularity after the leaders debate. Williams says Notley’s success has been her ability to trade barbs while keeping her message upbeat and optimistic. “People just like her. They’re calling her Rachel,” says Williams. The NDP rise has led to the re-launch of the Progressive Conservative fear campaign. Political scientist Duane Bratt noted in the 2012 election, the PCs wooed progressives back to the fold by warning of how a Wildrose government would be intolerant of minorities and indifferent to the environment. This time, Bratt says, the Tories seek to woo fiscal conservatives back by suggesting that an NDP administration would mean an economic apocalypse for Alberta. “The PCs’ job is to keep putting doubts in the minds (of voters),” says Bratt, with Mount Royal University. “It worked in 2012. It worked before.”

Shipping container housing to be stacked up across Canada
TESTING THE WIND
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — They were once rusting hulks relegated to junkyards. Now shipping containers are being repurposed into stylish homes that developers plan to roll out in housing-crunched communities across Canada. A three-storey development in Vancouver’s poorest neighbourhood uses just 12 of the millions of containers decommissioned after a life on the sea of five to 10 years. What started as a pilot project on the Downtown Eastside is expanding in the city — and the same model is set to be stacked up in aboriginal communities in British Columbia, Alberta and Nunavut. Marnie Crassweller lives in a “studio” container. A 285-square-foot suite home with an ocean view, in-suite washer-dryer, kitchen and private bathroom. “I find it to be a beautiful suite,” she said, gesturing to her home. She said she often has to dispel misconceptions with people who ask questions like: “Isn’t it cold? Isn’t is like a dungeon?” “And as you can see, it’s not.” Janice Abbott, the CEO of social housing agency Atira Property Management Inc., described the container construction as “building with Lego blocks,” saying it’s a fast, environmentally-friendly and — presumably — a cheaper way to build homes. “You have to think of them as exoskeletons or substructures,” said Abbott. Each container is fitted for plumbing and wiring and is insulated and drywalled. Abbott said the containers are built with high-grade steel that is much stronger than wood, and more than one can be fused to create multi-bedroom suites. Her agency has studied the cost of container housing and believes it to be a cheaper. From the front, the three-storey container development is a modern complex with large windows, but from the side, you can see the ridged steel of what was once a shipping container.

Emergency crews use tractor to rescue a horse in roadside distress ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — It wasn’t a typical roadside distress call, as emergency workers turned out en masse over the weekend to rescue a horse that had fallen into a ditch in Abbotsford.
Two people were out for a Saturday afternoon ride on a rural road when one of their horses spooked and backed into a ditch. Carol Champion, one of the riders, said the animal quickly became stuck in mud and was unable to escape. Dozens of firefighters and police officers showed up and were eventually able to free the animal using a hose line and a tractor from a nearby farm. Champion said the horse was up and walking seconds after being freed. She said she doesn’t think the animal suffered any injuries.
Mental Health Week includes events, survey BY ADVOCATE STAFF A survey is being conducted asking Central Albertans what information and education they need about mental health and wellness, addiction, acquired brain injury, or homelessness.

Pondering Airbnb-ing your home? Know if you’re covered
Notley tells more supporters “time for change”
EXPERTS URGE CAUTION AFTER CALGARY ORDEAL
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Airbnb may seem like a fast route to a quick buck for Canadians who own properties in popular travel destinations, but renting out a home to strangers can be perilous. A Calgary family learned that lesson the hard way last weekend, when their home was trashed amid a “drug-induced orgy” by hard-partying renters and deemed unlikely to be habitable for months due to biohazard concerns. Property damage was assessed at around $75,000. While the U.S.-based company is covering the costs, insurance companies are urging those who are pondering going the Airbnb route this summer, especially in cities like Toronto where an influx of visitors is expected for the Pan Am Games, to slow down and get informed. A reality check is particularly important since the vast majority of property insurance policies don’t bank on people handing over the keys to their homes to complete strangers, Steve Kee of the Insurance Bureau of Canada said in a telephone interview. “You really need to check with your insurance representative to find out what you’re covered for and what some of the risks may be,” he said. “Each company may have slightly different ways that they would apply this.” The occupants of a home, Kee added, have to level with their insurance companies about their plans. There are usually specific coverage options for properties that are known to be available for rent, he said. The policies typically protecting a person’s primary residence, however, are based on a vastly different set of assumptions. “If you have a home policy, you are covered for the fact that you are living there, and from time to time friends and family may come and stay with you,” Kee said, adding that coverage rules can cease to apply the moment the homeowner vacates the premises and leaves it in the hands of others. At least one Canadian province has begun mulling the idea of regulating an industry that has up until now been something of a Wild West. The lack of regulations governing the evolving shared rental economy has landed on Quebec’s political radar. Earlier this week, Tourism Minister Dominique
‘AS LONG AS THE ECONOMIC REASONS ARE THERE, THESE BUSINESS MODELS ARE SENSIBLE TO A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE.’ —GABOR FORGACS ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, RYERSON SCHOOL OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM
Vien said the province wants to make people pay taxes if they rent out their homes or rooms for profit, and subject them to the same regulations as registered hoteliers. Some industry-watchers believe the time is right to start drafting guidelines for a business model that, despite the odd bout of bad press, shows no signs of flagging. Gabor Forgacs, associate professor with Ryerson University’s School of Hospitality and Tourism, said companies like Airbnb are founded on a universally appealing principle — the desire to either make or save money. People renting their property stand to turn a tidy profit, while consumers taking advantage of their offers often wind up paying far less than they would through a more traditional arrangement. “I don’t expect any major changes in the business model,” Forgacs said. “As long as the economic reasons are there, these business models are sensible to a growing number of people.” Airbnb itself said it welcomed a chance to put guidelines in place for renters and consumers alike. “These rules should be straightforward and clear for regular people to follow, and recognize that the vast majority of Airbnb hosts only rent the homes they live in to visitors on an occasional basis,” the company said in a statement. The insurance bureau, meantime, has not tracked the number of complaints filed as a result of arrangements made through Airbnb or similar services. While Kee was unaware of any existing policies designed to cover such agreements, he added change may be in the offing given the growing popularity of Airbnb. “The industry is looking at these things with great interest, and with a competitive marketplace, I guess anything’s possible in the future.”

EDMONTON — NDP Leader Rachel Notley told more than 1,000 cheering supporters Sunday that the choice for Alberta’s future is their’s and doesn’t belong to Premier Jim Prentice and his “five (corporate) friends.” “It is spring in Alberta!” Notley shouted to a packed room at an Edmonton hotel. “It’s time for renewal. It is time for change. It’s time for new people with new ideas, better ideas, ideas about making things better instead of worse,” she said as the crowd roared. “And I say this to every Albertan in every community of this province: You don’t have to repeat history. This Tuesday you can make history.” Supporters came wearing “Notley Crue” T-shirts. They waved orange party placards and chanted Notley’s name. Two came dressed in head-to-toe, face-covering, orange spandex body suits. Notley later told reporters it was the largest NDP rally she had ever attended in Alberta. Voters go to the polls Tuesday in what opinion surveys have suggested will be a close three-way race among Prentice’s Progressive Conservatives, the NDP and the Wildrose party. In the last week, Prentice and the PCs have repeatedly warned voters that an NDP government would destroy Alberta’s economy. On Friday, five Edmonton business leaders held a news conference to ridicule the NDP’s economic platform. They urged voters to back Prentice and the PCs to stay in government. All five are donors to the PC party and some have received millions of dollars in government contracts. “Why is it always the corporations? Why is it always?” John Cameron of Kellor Construction told the news conference, referring to the NDP promise to raise corporate income taxes to 12 per cent from the current rate of 10 per cent. At 10 per cent, Alberta’s rates are the lowest in Canada. Prentice has ruled out hikes to corporate taxes and oil royalties, while promising to hike personal taxes and user fees virtually across the board. Notley said asking corporations and wealthy individuals to pay “a little bit more” is not only equitable but would reverse planned reductions in health care and in funding to pay for thousands more school students expected this fall.

Monarch’s best defence The monarch butterfly is a wonderful creature with an amazing story. In late summer, monarchs in southern Canada and the U.S. northeast take flight, travelling over 5,000 km to alpine forests in central Mexico. The overwintering butterflies cling to fir trees there in masses so dense that branches bow under their DAVID weight. SUZUKI The monarch’s multigenerational journey northward is every bit as remarkable as the epic southern migration. Three or four successive generations fly to breeding grounds, lay eggs and perish. The resulting caterpillars transform into butterflies and then take on the next leg of the trip. Monarchs arriving in Canada in late summer are often fourth or fifth generation descendants of butterflies that flew south the previous year. What may be the monarch’s most striking quirk is its caterpillars’ reliance on milkweed as its sole food
SCIENCE
source, a phenomenon called “monophagy”. Milkweed plants contain small traces of cardenolides, bitter chemicals monarchs store in their bodies to discourage predators, which associate the butterflies’ distinctive colouration with bad taste. But relying on a single type of plant for survival is a risky strategy that has put monarchs in grave danger. In the mid-1990s, the eastern monarch population was more than one billion. In winter 2013, the population had dropped by more than 95 per cent to 35 million, with a modest increase to 56.5 million this past winter. As University of Guelph postdoctoral research fellow Tyler Flockhart notes, a single severe storm could extinguish the entire monarch population. A 2002 snowstorm wiped out 80 million butterflies. A similar trend has been occurring west of the Rockies, where the western population overwinters in California and migrates as far north as central B.C. Much of the monarch butterfly decline has been pinned on virtual eradication of its critical food source throughout much of its migration path by profligate use of a glyphosate-based weed killer called Roundup, which corn and soybean crops have been genetically modified to tolerate. Blanketing fields with the herbicide kills plants like milkweed. As a result, sev-
eral U.S. Midwest states — the heart of monarch breeding territory — have lost most of their native milkweed, causing monarch reproductive rates to drop by more than 80 per cent. A recent study suggests glyphosate is merely the first of a one-two toxic punch from industrial agricultural operations. The second is neonicotinoids, the controversial nicotine-based insecticides that have been identified as a chief culprit in the decline of honeybees, along with a host of birds, bees and butterflies. It appears that even at one part per billion, these chemicals can affect monarch caterpillar development, delivering a potential knockout blow for the imperilled insects. The good news is that many jurisdictions are catching up with the science. Ontario’s government has proposed regulations to reduce neonic use by 80 per cent over the next couple of years. In early April, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a moratorium on new applications to use neonicotinoids. I hope this marks the turning of the toxic tide, but time is running out. What can you do to help? While government agencies in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada are scrambling to hatch plans to save monarchs, the scientific community has been clear: A lot of milkweed must be planted over the
next few years. One great opportunity is the many thousands of kilometres of linear corridors — rail, road and hydro rights-of-way — that run throughout the migratory landscape and can be modified to grow milkweed and other pollinator-friendly plants. Yards, school grounds and parks are also perfect for butterfly gardens and milkweed patches, and planting milkweed in your backyard or balcony garden is a great way to help. Be sure to call your local garden centre or nursery to ensure they stock native milkweed plants this spring. Find out more about milkweed and information about how to bring monarchs back from the brink at davidsuzuki.org/gotmilkweed, the David Suzuki Foundation’s Got Milkweed campaign website. You can also donate to support Foundation volunteers planting milkweed in the Greater Toronto Area. Planting milkweed may seem small, but the combined actions of thousands of concerned Canadians stitching together parks and yards with schools and rights-of-way into a glorious tapestry of butterfly corridors could usher in a new, hopeful era for monarch butterflies.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ignore the PC scare tactics, it’s time for a change in Alberta I cannot accept that I am merely a pawn to be played in this grand political chess match by a master politician; I also cannot accept being referred to as “sheeple” by foreign pollsters and pundits. We are being led to believe that we are being played, like we were in the last elections in Alberta and in B.C. That the Progressive Conservatives strategists are so good at making straw boogiemen that we are going to be running in fear back to the status quo to keep the NDP or Wildrose from forming government. The premier turned his back on the Wildrose and concentrated his attention on Rachel Notley because of the recoil effect of having too much attention focused on one party. Historically, the party with the most attention on election day, loses. He is counting on scaring voters to the PCs. Voters who were angry at the PCs in the last election were convinced that the world would end as we knew it if we voted for the Wildrose Party, and it worked. The voters gave Alison Redford a huge majority. Then the new premier, Jim Prentice, believed that the Wildrose caucus was so evil he convinced the majority of them including their leader to cross the floor and join the PCs. Voters who are angry at the PCs in this election are being targeted into believing that the world will end as we know it if we vote for the New Democratic Party. Will it work? Will we give Prentice a huge majority? Prentice believes that the Wildrose and the Progressive Conservatives will simply merge after this election and the status quo will once again rule the day. The NDP, the party associated with the creation of such minor things as health care, Canada Pension Plan and employment insurance, which hasn’t bankrupted our country, are such evil straw boogiemen that voters will once again flock to the PCs. Spending tax dollars on classrooms over dining rooms, subsidizing hospital rooms over corporate boardrooms are demonic goals to be excised from the Alberta psyche, at any cost. The Wildrose, the party associated with idea of cutting taxes, an idea that gained social acceptance under the Reform Party leadership of Preston Manning, has some merit. Operational audits could expose wastage, corporate welfare, obscene pay packages, and redundant positions. Why does the Alberta premier’s office cost almost twice that of the Ontario premier’s office when Ontario has a population three times the size of Alberta? The Green Party, the Alberta Party, the Liberal Party and many independents have solid platforms, and goals that appeal to different sectors of the population, and should be considered. Does one of these party’s candidate best represent your dreams and needs and/or those of your riding, then vote for them. Is it time for a change? Did a 44-year-old dynasty make our lives better this morning? Are we getting the best deal for our resources? Will Alberta be the next Tar Creek? Is it time for a change? Is it time for strategic voting? Will fear mongering work? I check out ThreeHundredEight.com and click on the provincial polls and look at my riding, and I get the feeling that in almost all our hearts, Albertans are indeed looking for change. The Alberta that I call home is full of hardworking, intelligent men and women, entrepreneurs, risk takers, and people who are not going to fall for the same trick a second time. Perhaps everyone should check this site, and see where everyone stands in various polls. If your goal is to unseat an incumbent, check to see which

candidate can do that? Which candidate or party can possibly benefit the most from your vote? Besides, Stephen Harper is on the sidelines, waiting to use the same trickery to win the federal election in October. I hope that Albertans will show the political strategists, that we know: Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me. Garfield Marks Red Deer
Rocky’s Alberta Party association not endorsing a candidate In a letter to the Editor of the Red Deer Advocate April 22, Will Munsey endorsed a candidate in the upcoming provincial election and signed the letter as past president of the Alberta Party. Munsey is free to endorse any candidate he chooses, but by signing his letter as Alberta Party past president, the impression might remain that his endorsement has the support of the Alberta Party.

Alberta can look after itself; time to end American influence Alberta and Alaska both started oil production in 1976. Since then, Albertans have received one cheque for $400 from that oil. Alaskans insisted on a share of the oil income in 1982 and get about $1,000

dividends every year to a current total of $35,143 per person. Alberta’s Heritage Trust Fund is at $17.2 billion. Alaska’s is at $51.2 billion. They made the commitment to save it until the oil runs out and not use it for general revenue at the whim of the governing party. Alaskan individuals pay no state tax. Where did all the Alberta money go? Our schools and hospitals are no better than theirs. It recently came out that Alberta’s oil was valued at $40 when the world price was $80. It crossed the boarded at the $40 price which is convenient for the American oil companies who own most of the Alberta oil. We will not know where the Progressive Conservatives spent all the money until the government changes and Albertans have a chance to look at the books. The fear is that Albertans can not run the oilfields if the American oil companies pull out. The first oilsands project was financed by selling shares to Albertans. We can do it again. We have technology and skills that are in demand all over the world. The American oil companies only came in when it was proven and when the then current PC government would give them massive subsidies. Even now, the oil industry gets deals which are not available to other companies. I expect the PCs are filtering through the government records now making sure that when the NDP takes over and open the books to the people of Alberta we do not see what has gone on behind closed doors. Alberta was started by strong individuals working co-operatively with each other. Only when the going got easy did the large international companies show up. Albertans could run Alberta for the good of Albertans again. Voting for a party that represents people and not large foreign companies should not be a bad thing. We now have a party interested in looking after individual Albertans in the NDP. Wayne Rumohr Red Deer

CANADA Ottawa woman missing for days following Nepal earthquake returns home OTTAWA — An Ottawa woman who was trekking with friends in Nepal when the magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck last Saturday has returned home safely. Faye Kennedy, 32, was travelling through Langtang National Park, to the north of the Kathmandu Valley, and was not heard from by her family for days after the quake. Kennedy arrived safely in Ottawa from Nepal on Saturday and was welcomed home by her family. A statement put out by family members says she is grateful to be alive and among loved ones again. Kennedy also thanked social media users, media, fellow travellers, the Nepalese people and the Canadian government for their help in bringing attention to the disaster and getting her home safely. Kennedy’s family had said last week that after she was discovered alive she was airlifted to Kathmandu from the park due to injuries she sustained during the earthquake.
RCMP wary of criminal infiltration of company’s opium poppy research OTTAWA — The RCMP has voiced concerns to Health Canada about an Alberta company’s plans to cultivate opium poppies over fears the medicinal project could attract drug-peddling criminals. Lethbridge-based API Labs Inc. says it understands the national police force’s worries, but insists the risk of criminal involvement can be managed with the proper precautions. An internal RCMP memo reveals the national police force expressed its reservations about API Labs’ activities during a conference call with several other federal agencies in April last year. It says the RCMP followed up with a letter to a senior Health Canada official outlining the force’s concerns about the possible diversion of opium poppy material to “the illicit market” as well as infiltration by organized crime groups.
Oct. 19 byelections called for three ridings SAME AS THE NEXT EXPECTED GENERAL FEDERAL ELECTION BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Elections Canada has announced three federal byelections to fill vacant seats in the House of Commons — but the date set is the same for the next expected general federal election. A statement by Elections Canada on Sunday afternoon said it issued three writs for a trio of Oct. 19 byelections to be held in the ridings of Ottawa West-Nepean, Peterborough and Sudbury. Former foreign affairs minister John Baird left Ottawa West-Nepean vacant with his resignation from Parliament in March. Peterborough is vacant because former Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro was found guilty last fall of violating the Canada Elections Act. Former New Democrat MP Glenn Thibeault resigned his Sudbury seat in January to join the Ontario Liberals. Under electoral law, a byelection must be called within 180 days of the Chief Electoral Officer receiving notice of a vacant seat in the Commons. In the case of Del Mastro’s riding,
that 180-day deadline was coming up on Wednesday. Del Mastro’s seat was formally vacated on Nov. 7. The deadlines for byelection calls in Baird’s and Thibeault’s ridings are in September and July respectively. A spokesperson for Elections Canada says the byelections would be superceded if a general election is held before Oct. 19. Baird stunned observers in February when he announced he was quitting federal politics after almost four years as Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s top diplomat and nearly a decade as one of his most trusted and versatile ministers. Since then, Baird has landed three lucrative private sector jobs: he’s now a member of Barrick Gold’s international advisory board, a director of Canadian Pacific Railway, and he’s become an adviser to a Hong Kong billionaire. Baird is one of several Conservative cabinet ministers to step down ahead of the expected Oct. 19 federal ballot. International Development Minister Christian Paradis and Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Minister Shelly Glover recently announced they won’t be seeking re-election. Del Mastro’s political career came to a
more ignominious end, after he was found guilty last fall of exceeding spending limits, failing to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his own campaign and knowingly submitting a falsified document during the 2008 federal election. The disgraced ex-MP, who had previously helped defend the Conservatives against electoral fraud allegations, choked back tears in an Ontario courtroom last week before a judge adjourned the proceedings to decide whether or not to send him to jail. Controversy also surrounds Thibeault’s resignation and defection to the Ontario Liberals. The Ontario Provincial Police questioned Premier Kathleen Wynne last week about allegations her party offered a former candidate a job or appointment to step aside to make room for Thibeault. Thibeault won the provincial riding of Sudbury in a separate byelection in February, less than a month after leaving federal politics. The leaders of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats have said it is “unseemly” and “appalling” for a sitting premier to be questioned by police.
Kurdish fighter’s fatigue a likely factor in death of Canadian soldier: Lawson BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KUWAIT CITY — Canadian special forces trainers will likely be advised to stay away from the front in northern Iraq after major Kurdish operations as it appears battle fatigue among peshmerga fighters was the likely cause of last month’s friendly fire incident, the country’s top military commander said Sunday. Gen. Tom Lawson, the chief of defence staff, made the remarks following a speech by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the fighter base in Kuwait which launches many of the U.S.-led coalition’s attacks on the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Sgt. Andrew Doiron was gunned down accidentally on March 6, at night, near an observation post along the front lines west of Erbil, in northern Iraq. The Harper government hasn’t been briefed on the contents of three separate investigations into the tragedy, but that will happen soon, possibly within a month, Law-
son said. Recommendations will also be made to prevent a repeat of the shooting, which has been described as a case of mistaken identity when the elite Canadian trainers stopped to check on an isolated Kurdish unit. “What we have to mitigate is things like fatigue,” Lawson said, suggesting that special forces would avoid areas where there had been recent battles. “You’ll see many of the mitigation steps we recommend will have to do with that area.” When asked if the weariness among the under-trained fighters was a factor, the defence chief said: “I think we’ll see the fatigue of the soldiers who were at the front, the peshmerga at the front, would have played a part.” The Kurdish forces had fought a series of pitched battles with extremists in the days leading up to the tragedy. Canadian military officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly, suggested on Saturday that visits to the front by special forces trainers have ceased since

the accident, something Lawson would not confirm. Whether any peshmerga fighters face punishment is an open question. And in a sign of how far the fledgling force is willing to go to appease its new mentors, Lawson says local commanders have told him that the Kurds’ investigation will be based on the Canadian investigation. “The steps they take will be the steps they take,” he said. Lawson committed to releasing a sanitized summary of the findings of the three investigations — a military police criminal investigation, a technical investigation by special forces, and a U.S. special forces evaluation. Harper left the Middle East late Sunday en route to the Netherlands for the 70th anniversary celebration of the end of the Second World War. Throughout Harper’s whirlwind tour of Iraq and Kuwait, there were persistent questions about Doiron’s death — something the prime minister said he hoped wouldn’t detract from the peshmerga’s well-earned reputation for bravery and halting ISIL in its tracks.

Canadian government to seek emergency stay of bail for Khadr
ONTARIO
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A group of Ontario parents is threatening to pull their kids out of school this week, in protest of the province’s new sex-education curriculum. A Facebook group called “Parents & Students on strike: one week no school” is encouraging parents who oppose the 2015 sex-ed curriculum to keep their kids at home. The group also offers a letter template for parents to give to their children’s respective schools, which states the curriculum contains “age-inappropriate” content that does not align with the “principles and beliefs” of families. Toronto District School Board spokeswoman Shari Schwartz-Maltz said it’s difficult to determine how many families will participate in the protest, because in some cases parents have downloaded the letters and handed them in ahead of time, but in other cases it’s been done verbally “so the numbers are next to impossible to know” until midday on Monday. “Everybody that’s not in school will be marked absent and teaching and learning continues. So if you are not present in class, we’re following the same policies we do in any other case,” said SchwartzMaltz. “Children/families are responsible for the work missed.” The templated letter also states that parents believe it is their responsibility to teach these values to their children, in addition to having complete control over when the topic is first introduced. “We live in a democracy and people are permitted to protest and voice their opinions and this is clearly the way some parents feel is the best way to express their opinions,” Schwartz-Maltz said. “We’ll have to see what the numbers are. A lot of people say they’re going to do it, we’ll see what happens. We’re prepared in the sense that all of our people know about it.” Janet McDougald, chair of the Peel District School Board, said she thinks a “fair number” of parents will pull their children out of school for at least the first day of the week in the culturally diverse region. Thousands protested the new sex-ed curriculum, which was previously updated in 1998, on the lawn of the legislature last month and many said they came from communities within Peel Region. But McDougald says there’s a lot of misinformation being intentionally circulated about the curriculum. Under the changes, Grade 3 students will learn about same-sex relationships, kids in Grades 4 and up will learn more about the dangers of online bullying, while the perils of sexting will come in Grade 7. Lessons about puberty will move from Grade 5 to Grade 4, while masturbation and “gender expression” are mentioned in the Grade 6 curriculum. Anal sex is part of the Grade 7 curriculum, in the context of choosing to abstain from or delay certain activities in order to avoid sexually transmitted infections. Some opponents of the curriculum say it’s not age-appropriate, others insist children should not be taught about same-sex relationships and different gender identities, while still others wrote on the Facebook group that the curriculum is full of “deviant sexual practices” and amounts to “child abuse.” Premier Kathleen Wynne met privately last week with a group of parents who demanded she withdraw the curriculum. She said it will take effect in September as planned. Even though education is a provincial jurisdiction, Wynne said she has been warned that the curriculum could be used against the federal Liberals in the upcoming election campaign. “I have been told that this is something that could be used as a wedge issue,” she said recently in Ottawa. “I think that we just need to be aware of that and we need to all be armed with the facts.”
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The federal government is planning to seek an emergency stay of an Alberta judge’s decision to grant former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr bail, the Canadian Press has learned. The application, expected to be heard Tuesday before the province’s Court of Appeal, would come just hours before another court hearing scheduled to decide on his release conditions. “The Harper government is not interested in the rule of law,” Dennis Edney, one of Khadr’s lawyers said in response. “It refuses to listen to what the courts have said about Omar Khadr’s rights. It continues to spend millions of taxpayers dollars only to lose time and time again.” The government did not respond to requests for comment. On April 24, Court of Queen’s Bench Justice June Ross decided that Khadr, 28, should be released while he appeals his conviction for war crimes in the United States. Ross made it clear — and government lawyers didn’t object — that the Toronto-born Khadr has been a model prisoner who poses little risk to the public and should be allowed out. The government had argued that she had no jurisdiction to make that call given his return from Guantanamo Bay in September 2012 occurred under an international prisoner transfer treaty. The government also said that granting him bail would undermine Canada’s international relations and obligations — a position Ross rejected. Ross had set a Tuesday afternoon hearing to decide on Khadr’s release conditions, which were expected to be relatively standard, but require him to live with Edney and his wife Patricia. Hours after her decision, the federal government, which has insisted on branding Khadr an unrepentant terrorist, said it would appeal her ruling. However, more than a week passed without word on whether Ottawa would try to block his release pending its appeal. Currently incarcerated as a minimum-security inmate in Bowden Institution near Innisfail, Alta., Khadr has spent almost 13 years in custody since American soldiers captured him as a badly wounded 15 year old in Afghanistan in July 2002. Ross’s decision sparked joy among Khadr’s supporters, who view him as a child soldier or victim, and anger among his detractors, who see him as a hardened jihadist.

His lawyers said he had been trying not to get his hopes of freedom up in light of knowing the government’s intention to fight his release. Khadr has said he only pleaded guilty to war crimes before a widely discredited U.S. military commission in 2010 to get out of Guantanamo Bay. In her ruling, Ross said he had strong grounds to appeal the conviction in light of other American civilian court decisions that have overturned guilty findings in similar circumstances. However, Khadr’s lawyers said the American appeal process could be rendered moot even if he’s successful because it might not be concluded before he finishes serving the eight-year term the commission gave him.

A7 Curfew lifted in Baltimore
MONDAY, MAY 4, 2015
MAYOR LIFTS CITYWIDE CURFEW 6 DAYS AFTER RIOTS AS TENSIONS EASE IN CITY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
to Rawlings-Blake on Saturday alleging that the curfew was “being enforced arbitrarily and selectively” to break up peaceful protests and prevent media outlets from providing accurate coverage of police activity. “The curfew is having a dramatic effect on the ability of Baltimore residents to simply go about their daily lives free from fear or arbitrary arrest,” the letter read, adding that it’s also “the target of protest and the source of new problems rather than a solution.” Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Sunday he will ask President Barack Obama and congressional leaders to send a bipartisan delegation “to look at what is going on in Baltimore.” “It is so symbolic of what is going on all over this country. We have to address the problems of the urban areas because so many our young people are being left behind,” Cummings said. More than 200 people were arrested during Monday’s riots, and more than half of those were released without charges. Rawlings-Blake said during an appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that authorities are combing through videotapes to identify looters and charge them.

BALTIMORE — Six days after riots sparked by Freddie Gray’s death, Baltimore’s mayor lifted a citywide curfew Sunday and faith leaders called for continued activism until justice is achieved. A jubilant crowd of several hundred prayed and sang civil-rights anthems at a City Hall rally. Sunday’s peaceful gathering came two days after the city’s top prosecutor announced criminal charges against six officers involved in Gray’s arrest. Speaker after speaker exhorted the crowd not to rest just because the officers have been charged. The Rev. Jamal Bryant, a fiery leader of the protests that followed Gray’s April 12 arrest and the death of the 25-year-old black man a week later, drew deafening cheers when he said the officers deserve jail time. “We’ve got to see this all the way through, until all six officers trade in Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS their blue uniform for an orange uniform,” Bryant said. Members of the National Guard board a truck at an armory staging area Sunday, “Let them know: Orange is the new May 3, 2015, in Baltimore. Baltimore’s mayor has lifted a citywide curfew six black.” days after riots were sparked over the death of a black man who suffered a The Rev. Lisa Weah, pastor of the severe spinal injury while in police custody. New Bethlehem Baptist Church in Gray’s neighbourhood, said the message of equal justice for all must not be lost. “Our prayer is that Baltimore will be the model for the rest of the nation,” she said. Police said Sunday that 486 people had been arrested since April 23, and that 113 officers had been injured at riots and protests. The extent of the officers’ injuries was unclear. Earlier in the week, police had said that out of nearly 100 injured officers, 13 were hurt to the extent that they couldn’t work, and 15 were on desk duty. The order for residents to stay home between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. had been in place since Tuesday; officials had originally planned to maintain it through Monday morning. Protests since last Monday’s riots have been peaceful, and Friday’s announcement of charges eased tensions. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the curfew’s end in a statement. “My number one priority in instituting a curfew was to ensure the public peace, safety, health and welfare of Baltimore citizens,” the Democratic mayor said. “It was not an easy decision, but one I felt was necessary to help our city restore calm.” State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has said Gray died after suffering a broken neck while inside a police van. On Friday, Mosby filed charges against the officers involved in his arrest and transport. One is charged with second-degree murder. Three others are charged with involuntary manslaughter and two with second-degree assault. Mosby said Gray’s neck was broken because he was placed head-first in a police van, handcuffed and later in leg shackles, where he was left to slam against the walls of the small metal compartWith over 20 new theme packs, the largest On Demand library, all your favourites on ment.

Flames can’t find net against Ducks ANAHEIM TAKES 2-0 LEAD AS SERIES HEADS TO CALGARY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Ducks 3 Flames 0 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Frederik Andersen stopped all 30 shots he faced for his first post-season shutout as the Anaheim Ducks blanked the Calgary Flames 3-0 on Sunday to take Game 2 of their second-round series. Anaheim now leads the best-of-seven matchup 2-0. The series shifts to Calgary for Game 3 on Tuesday and Game 4 Friday. “Now we’re going home. In front of our fans we know how crazy it is at the Scotiabank Saddledome,” said Flames head coach Bob Hartley. “It’s going to be great. Let’s try and win one, let’s try and win the first one and see where we’re at. “I’ve been down lots of times by two games, we found ways to come back so here’s the same challenge.” Matt Beleskey, Hampus Lindholm and Nate Thomspon scored for the Ducks — spoiling a strong performance by goalie Karri Ramo, who got the nod in net over Jonas Hiller. Ramo made 32 saves starting in place of Hiller, who was pulled early in the second period of Game 1. The Flames trailed 1-0 at the end of the first period, and it would have been worse if not for Ramo’s efforts. He made a sprawling save to deny Ryan Getzlaf and a glove stop off Kyle Palmieri’s shot in the opening five minutes, while Ryan Kesler hit the crossbar. Beleskey finally broke through at 7:27 off the first on an odd-man rush started by Jakob Silfverberg. Kesler raced ahead and set up Beleskey to beat Ramo over his left glove

The Ducks took 20 shots in the first to the Flames’ nine, and some of their best scoring chances were not included in that disparity — notably Lindholm’s failure to collect a Getzlaf pass that went tantalizingly through the crease. Despite delivering their best period to date in the series, the Flames could not come up with the equalizer in the second. A Ducks turnover gave Mason Raymond the puck at point-blank range, but Andersen swallowed up his poor
shot. Joe Colborne also had a good look off Francois Beauchemin’s poor attempt at a clearance and Andersen responded with the glove save. After finally establishing an effective forecheck to start the third period, the Flames’ hopes were extinguished when Lindholm scored with 8:45 remaining. Corey Perry had two assists, including the key pass on Lindholm’s goal, and now leads the league with 13 points this post-season. Flames coach Bob Hartley made
several lineup changes before the puck dropped. Besides the previouslyannounced decision to start Ramo in goal, Sam Bennett replaced Johnny Gaudreau on the top line alongside Sean Monahan and Jiri Hudler. Micheal Ferland, who did not return after exiting Game 1 in the first period, was scratched after going through warmups, and David Wolf made his postseason debut. Hartley also shortened his bench, letting his top three defensemen all play more than 26 minutes.
Lightning head home with 2-0 lead over Habs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Lightning 6 Canadiens 2 MONTREAL — It was one thing for coach Jon Cooper to see his dormant power play come to life, and another to see captain Steven Stamkos end an agonizing scoring drought. Both happened in spectacular fashion Sunday as the Tampa Bay Lightning made the Montreal Canadiens pay for indiscipline with four power-play goals in a 6-2 thumping in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series. “I don’t know if it was more relief that he scored or the power play scored, so it was kind of the whole compilation of Alka Seltzer,” said Cooper. After winning twice at the Bell Centre, the Lightning take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series back home to Amalie Arena for Game 3 on Wednesday. Stamkos, a two-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner, had been analyzed about not scoring in the Lightning’s previous eight playoff games. With the score tied 1-1 at 8:06 of the second period, Stamkos took a puck that went off Andrei Markov’s skate and off his own leg to send him in on a breakaway. From there he deked Carey Price and set off a celebration. “It was definitely a release of some things that have been building up,” said Stamkos. “Whether it’s my first or my twentieth, at that time of the game, to go up, your emotions are running high. “Any time you score a goal in the playoffs it’s exciting, but that one maybe a little more so than others I’ve scored.”
Nikita Kucherov, with two, Valtteri Filppula and Victor Hedman all scored with a man advantage as Tampa Bay got its first power-play goals since Game 2 of the opening round. J.T. Brown added an even-strength goal late in the third period. The Lightning power play went 4 for 8 after scoring only twice on 34 chances in their previous games. “We had a lot of movement, we made smart decisions, we shot the puck hard,” said Cooper said. “When you’re making tape-to-tape passes you’re giving yourself a chance.” Jeff Petry and Tom Gilbert scored for Montreal, which outshot the Bolts 29-24 but went 0 for 3 on the power play. The Habs are now 1 for 26 with the man advantage in the playoffs. But coach Michel Therrien was less concerned with that than with the penalties his team took. Brandon Prust got a double minor in the first after yapping at a official, then Filppula scored after P.K. Subban was called for crosschecking. Montreal was dominating the game before the penalties. “There was no goal bigger than Filppula’s,” said Cooper. “For them to walk into their dressing room with nothing to show for it was a momentum swinger for us and we took the game over after that.” Things got nasty in the third when Torrey Mitchell bumped into goalie Ben Bishop after a scoring chance and then Prust bumped him again behind the net, prompting a fight with Braydon Coburn. Referee Brad Watson handed the Canadiens tough guy 27 penalty minutes on the play, including a game misconduct.

Tampa Bay Lightning’s Steven Stamkos scores on Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price during second period of Game 2 NHL second round playoff action in Montreal, Sunday. Cooper said Prust may have tried to injure his goalie. Prust accused Watson of trying to “play god.” Bishop only said: “I don’t think Mitchell did that on purpose, but you expect that when the score gets that way.” The Canadiens scored the first goal of a game for only the second time in eight post-season contests when Petry fired a wrist shot from the blue-line at 7:20. Filppula scored on the power play on a shot from the right circle at 19:36 to tie the game 1-1. After Stamkos scored, the Bolts
got a 4-on-3 man advantage and Tyler Johnson slipped a cross-ice pass to Kucherov for a shot into an open side at 12:29. Then, Price had no chance when Hedman finished a back-door play with Alex Killorn at 19:46. Kucherov redirected a Johnson pass inside the post 6:37 into the third to make it 5-1 before Gilbert scored from the point at 11:06 for Montreal. Brown added his goal at 16:05. There were sweeps in both previous playoff meetings between the teams, with Tampa Bay winning in four in 2004 and Montreal doing the same last season.
Hall’s hat trick leads Canada past Germany at worlds BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 10 Germany 0 PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Taylor Hall and his Canadian teammates are getting used to the bigger international ice at the world hockey championship. What they could do when they’re totally comfortable is scary. Hall had a hat trick to lead Canada in a 10-0 rout of Germany on Sunday, keeping the Canadians at the top of Group A in the international tournament. “I think the coaching staff has done a really good job of preparing us for what it’s like on this big ice and giving us tips and pointers on what the successful teams do over here,” said Hall. “We’re trying to incorporate that and I think we’re doing a good job.” Cody Eakin had a pair of goals for Canada (2-0), while Aaron Ekblad, Claude Giroux, Tyler Ennis, Sidney Crosby and Matt Duchene also scored. The Canadian team is made up entirely of NHLers, who are used to playing on standard North American rinks that are 200 feet by 85 feet. Interna-
tional rinks are also 200 feet long, but are significantly wider at 100 feet. “It was a game where we were able to penetrate a little bit and that’s always nice,” said Hall. “In this big ice you want to get to the middle of the rink as quick as you can and get shots off. “I think we’re starting to figure out how to play on this ice and it’s nice.” Crosby agreed with Hall, saying he saw improvement between Sunday’s rout and Friday’s 6-1 victory over Latvia. “It was good,” Crosby said. “I thought we were better today than we were last game. So that’s the most important thing that you gotta get better with every game. It should happen as the guys get more comfortable with the ice.” Martin Jones earned the shutout for Canada with 17 saves. Mike Smith had been in net for the Canadians’ win on Friday, with head coach Todd McLellan electing to rotate his goalies early in the tournament. “One of our main points when the game was a little bit out of hand there was to try and play well for Jonesy,”
said Hall. “Make sure that we played with good habits and I think we did that.” Dennis Endras and Danny Aus den Birken split time in net for Germany (1-1). Crosby corralled a bouncing pass from Ryan O’Reilly and put the puck over the right shoulder of Endras at the 11:58 mark of the first period for a 1-0 lead. Just 23 seconds later, Hall gave Canada a 2-0 lead, taking a feed from Edmonton Oilers teammate Jordan Eberle from behind the net and snapping it past Endras. O’Reilly earned his second assist of the game, stealing the puck behind Germany’s goal-line and passing it out to Eakin, who tapped the puck in to the net for a 3-0 lead. Eakin’s backhand off a rebound for his second goal in two minutes 21 seconds for a 4-0 lead heading to the first intermission. Duchene passed back to Hall on a 3-on-2 breakaway then crashed the net, screening Endras as Hall’s shot went into the German net early in the second period.

>>>>
Ekblad chased Endras from the net, sweeping in unmarked from the blueline to one-time a pass from Jake Muzzin for a 6-0 Canadian lead. Giroux helped Canada pile on, redirecting a goal-line pass. Giroux set up a goal a little over seven minutes later, feeding Ennis in the slot. Again, Germany’s weak centre defence left Ennis virtually unmolested as he swatted the puck in. Hall’s third of the game capped a five-goal second period. Duchene sent a cross-ice pass to Hall, who slammed it past Aus den Birken. Duchene was awarded a penalty shot in the third period and made no mistake for a 10-0 lead. Also Sunday, defending champion Russia and Sweden also made it two straight wins with victories over newcomers Slovenia and Austria, respectively. Evgeni Dadonov contributed two goals and two assists in Russia’s 5-3 win in Group B in Ostrava. In Group A in Prague, Nashville Predators centre Filip Forsberg led Sweden with a hat trick and an assist in a 6-1 victory.

Mayweather wins decision over Pacquiao in the richest fight ever BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — The pressure of a $180 million payday never got to Floyd Mayweather Jr., even if the richest fight ever wasn’t the best. Using his reach and his jab Saturday night, Mayweather frustrated Manny Pacquiao, piling up enough points to win a unanimous decision in their welterweight title bout. Mayweather remained unbeaten in 48 fights, cementing his legacy as the best of his generation. After the fight, it was disclosed that Pacquiao injured his right shoulder in training and that Nevada boxing commissioners denied his request to take an anti-inflammatory shot in his dressing room before the fight. Pacquiao chased Mayweather around the ring most of the fight. But he was never able to land a sustained volume of punches, as Mayweather worked his defensive wizardry again. Two ringside judges scored the fight 116-112, while the third had it 118-110. The Associated Press had Mayweather ahead 115-113. “I take my hat off to Manny Pacquiao. I see now why he is at the pinnacle of boxing,” Mayweather said. “I knew he was going to push me, win some rounds. I wasn’t being hit with a lot of shots until I sit in a pocket and he landed a lot of shots.” The bout wasn’t an artistic triumph for either fighter, with long periods where both men fought cautiously. Pacquiao threw far fewer punches than he normally does in a fight, with Mayweather actually throwing more. That was largely because Pacquiao didn’t throw his right hand often. Promoter Bob Arum said Pacquiao injured his shoulder sometime after March 11. Arum said Pacquiao’s camp thought he would be allowed the anti-inflammatory shot because he had gotten them during training and they had been approved by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. But he said paperwork filed with the commission didn’t check the injury box, and the Nevada commission ruled against the request for a shot. “The ruling made tonight affected the outcome of the fight,” Arum said. Nevada Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said Pacquiao’s camp wanted shots that

But he said Pacquiao’s representatives didn’t check the injury box after the weigh-in Friday, and the commission had no way of knowing how serious the injury was or what it could be treated with. “I have no proof an injury actually exists and I can’t make a ruling based on what they’re telling me,” Aguilar said. Still, Pacquiao thought he had won the bout, largely on the basis of a few left hands that seemed to shake Mayweather. “I thought I won the fight. He didn’t do nothing except move outside,” Pacquiao said. “I got him many times.” There were no knockdowns, and neither fighter seemed terribly hurt at any time. Pacquiao landed probably the biggest punch in the fight in the fourth round — a left hand that sent Mayweather into the ropes — but he wasn’t able to consistently land against the elusive champion. The fight was a chess match, with Mayweather using his jab to keep Pacquiao away most of the fight. Pacquiao tried to force the action, but Mayweather was often out of his reach by the time he found his way inside. “He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close,” Mayweather said. Mayweather fought confidently in the late rounds, winning the last two rounds on all three scorecards. In the final seconds of the fight he raised his right hand in victory and after the bell rang stood on the
ropes, pounding his heart with his gloves. “You’re tough,” he said to Pacquiao, hugging him in the ring. It was vintage Mayweather, even if it didn’t please the crowd of 16,507. They cheered every time Pacquiao threw a punch, hoping that he would land a big shot and become the first fighter to beat Mayweather. But a good percentage of what he threw never landed. Mayweather often came back with straight right hands, then moved away before Pacquiao could respond. “I thought we pulled it out,” Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said. “I asked my man to throw more combinations between rounds. I thought he fought flat-footed too many times.” Ringside punch stats showed Mayweather landing 148 punches of 435, while Pacquiao landed 81 of 429. The volume for Pacquiao was a lot lower than the 700 or more he usually throws. Five years in the making, the fight unfolded before a glittering crowd of celebrities, high rollers and people who had enough money to pay for ringside seats going for $40,000 and up. Before it did, though, it was delayed about a half hour because cable and satellite systems were having trouble keeping up with the pay-per-view demand. They paid big money to watch two superstars fight for their legacies — and in Pacquiao’s case his country — in addition to the staggering paydays for both.
Kane scores twice as Blackhawks beat Wild
JUNIOR B LACROSSE The Red Deer Renegade improved to 2-1-1 to open the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier II season with a tie and a win on the road this weekend. On Friday they tied the Strathmore Venom 12-12, led by Cody Rush’s six-point night )three goals, three assists), while Aiden Wilson and Tyler Schumacher both scored twice. Marshall Smyth, Chase Boswell, Richard Watt and Kane Weik all scored once for Red Deer while rookie goalie Tyson Ebbert was solid, stopping 10 breakaways including one with less than 30 seconds remaining in overtime to preserve the tie. The Venom got three goals from Randu Hanger and two each from Chase Huber and Corey Campbell while Daylon Schmidt, Theo Oliver, Kaleb Robinson, Travis Gautier and Cody Betterton all scored once. The Renegades finished the weekend with a 9-6 win over Calgary Wranglers with Rhett Ritter, Colton Levie and Bryton McIntosh all scoring twice for Red Deer. Ryan Margetts, Derrick McGill and Smyth all added singles. Gavin Hough, Duncan MacFarlane, Gage Vessey, Austin Ingram, Jayden Triplett and Connor Ekvall each scored once for Calgary. The Renegades are in Calgary again on Saturday to play the Axemen but return home on Sunday to host the Lethbridge Barracudas at 2:30 at the Kinex Arena.
WHL PLAYOFFS The Kelowna Rockets have advanced to the Western Hockey League championship after defeating the Portland Winterhawks 8-4 on Sunday in Game 6 of their Western Conference final. Kelowna will face the the Eastern Conference champion Brandon Wheat Kings, who qualified for the chance to play for the Ed Chynoweth Cup by eliminating the Calgary Hitmen on Friday in five games. Madison Bowey and Dillon Dube each had a pair of goals for the Rockets, who used a five-goal third period to blow the game open. Tyson Baillie scored once and set up two more for Kelowna while Chance Braid, Justin Kirkland and Cole Linaker rounded out the offence. Game 1 between the Rockets and Wheat Kings is set for Friday in Brandon.
NHL PLAYOFFS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blackhawks 4 Wild 1 CHICAGO — No. 101 went like so many of the first 100 playoff games for Patrick Kane. A perfect shot at a key moment, another big play at the very end, and a victory for the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane scored two goals, Corey Crawford made 30 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Minnesota Wild 4-1 on Sunday night to take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. “I think it was our best game all the way around,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “I thought we had real good pace and energy right off the outset. Good pace to our game, defensively solid. I thought all lines were consistent, had a lot of offensive zone time, puck possession. Played the right way.” Kane’s eighth career multigoal playoff game gave him 101 points in 101 post-season games. The Blackhawks improved to 63-38 in the playoffs with the dynamic winger in the lineup, winning the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2013. “I’ve been fortunate enough to play with some great teammates where you’re getting a lot of good chances,” said Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP in 2013. “I’ve had a lot of fun here in my seven years in the playoffs.” Game 3 is Tuesday night in Minnesota. Defenceman Matt Dumba scored for the Wild, who are winless in eight post-season games at Chicago. Devan Dubnyk finished with 27 saves. “We didn’t make the mistakes. I don’t know what team played that game, but it wasn’t us tonight,” coach Mike Yeo said. Minnesota trailed 2-0 after two, but got back in the game when Dumba’s power-play shot 1:20 into the third went off Crawford’s glove and into the top of the goal. Dumba’s second playoff goal came with Michal Rozsival in the box for interference. Dubnyk then made a couple of stops on Duncan Keith and Teuvo Teravainen before Sharp scored at 7:39 after Wild captain Mikko Koivu got out of the box following a tripping penalty. Kane added an
empty-netter as Chicago improved to 28-0 when leading after two periods, including three such games in the playoffs. “They’ve got a lot of guys on their team that can skate and make plays and hang on to pucks,” Keith said. “We were trying to be patient and it worked tonight.” Chicago and Minnesota combined for six goals in the first 29 ½ minutes of the series opener, and Teravainen sent the Blackhawks to a 4-3 victory with his first career playoff goal in the final minute of the second. Game 2 was a much different story, with shots at a premium and solid work by each goaltender for the first part of the night. Minnesota got its first power-play opportunity when Andrew Shaw was sent off for cross-checking at 10:45 of the second. But it turned into a disaster for the Wild when Hossa stole the puck from defenceman Ryan Suter along the boards, skated in and fed Toews for his fourth goal of the playoffs. Toews’ shot went off Dubnyk, popped up in the air and then went off the goaltender’s stick before barely trickling over the goal line. “I made a mistake on that first one and it’s in the back of the net,” Suter said. “We just have to protect the puck. I don’t think that was our style of game tonight.” The Wild then made a frantic push for the tying goal, but Crawford made a terrific stop on Kyle Brodziak on a breakaway and a couple of stellar saves on prime opportunities for Zach Parise. Crawford also used his left and then his right pad to make a pair of great saves on Thomas Vanek in the first. “They had a couple of big flurries in the game, but Corey was outstanding in those situations,” Quenneville said. “Kept the momentum going our way even though they had a couple of good looks.” Chicago increased its lead to 2-0 when Keith made a long stretch pass right to Kane’s stick, and the AllStar winger beat Dubnyk with a perfectly placed shot off the inside of the left post at 19:40. It was Kane’s fourth goal of this year’s playoffs. NOTES: Wild RW Chris Stewart was shaken up after he was taken down by Blackhawks D Johnny Oduya midway through the second. He slammed hard into the boards on his right side and went back to the locker room, but returned later in the period.

Blue Jays blow another big lead SQUANDER 5-RUN HEAD-START IN LOSS TO INDIANS innings. “I continue to hurt our bullpen by not going enough innings, which is unacceptable,” said Hutchison, who is 2-0 with a 7.47 ERA. “The offence once again gave me some runs, but I need to pitch better. I need to go out there and get the job done, and not kill our bullpen, too.” Jeff Francis (1-1) was charged with the loss after allowing a two-run, pinch-hit double to Ryan Raburn in the fifth. He faced five batters, four of whom reached base, in handing the Indians an 8-6 lead. Marc Rzepczynski (1-0) followed Bauer and picked up the win with one scoreless inning for Cleveland, which is 4-8 at Progressive Field after splitting the four-game series. Catcher Russell Martin hit a solo homer in the ninth off Indians closer Cody Allen. Martin, left fielder Michael Saunders, and right fielder Ezequiel Carrera each had two hits for Toronto. “As a unit, I wish we were better, but it’s a process,” Martin said. “It’s kind of a grind for us right now.” Travis’ grand slam was the first for the Blue Jays since Colby Rasmus on May 4, 2014, against Pittsburgh. It was his seventh homer of the season, which leads AL rookies, as does his .316 batting average. “The kid is good and he’s been
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Indians 10 Blue Jays 7 CLEVELAND — A difficult road trip for the Toronto Blue Jays ended with a disappointing loss Sunday. Jason Kipnis had four hits, including a solo homer, and drove in a pair of runs as the Cleveland Indians rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Blue Jays 10-7. Rookie second baseman Devon Travis belted a grand slam in the top of the fourth, when Toronto scored six times off Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer to take a 6-1 lead. Cleveland answered with nine straight runs, sending Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchison to an early exit and Toronto home with a 3-7 mark on its longest scheduled trip of the season. “You’d like to chalk this up as one of those wacky baseball days, but it’s been happening way too often,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “It’s very deflating having a 6-1 lead and losing — that’s pretty obvious — but it’s a big man’s sport. We’ve got to iron some stuff out and get better.” Hutchison allowed six runs and eight hits in a season low-tying 4 1-3 innings. The right-hander has failed to make it into the sixth in four of his six starts, costing himself three potential wins by not pitching the required five
SAN FRANCISCO — Rory McIlroy had to work harder than ever to win the Match Play Championship. No one ever had to play seven matches in five days, and McIlroy won them all in the new round-robin format. He had to beat three players on the same day, a first in the 17 years of this tournament. And three times, he stood on the 17th tee trailing. McIlroy didn’t need a comeback in the final Sunday afternoon. He won four straight holes on the front nine against an errant Gary Woodland, survived a brief scare and wound up with a 4-and-2 victory for his second World Golf Championship. Three weeks after Jordan Spieth won the Masters and emerged as the most likely rival, McIlroy reminded the world of his No. 1 ranking. He became the first No. 1 seed since Tiger Woods in 2008 to win the most unpredictable event in golf and collect his 10th PGA Tour title. He joined Woods (24) and Jack Nicklaus (12) as the only players with at least 10 PGA Tour victories at age 25 or younger. McIlroy turns 26 on Monday. “Every time I have a win, I keep hearing those guys’ names come up,” McIlroy said. “It’s great to be mentioned with the likes of Tiger and Jack, the two greatest players that I think have every played
pretty good all season,” Gibbons said. “There is no silver lining today, but he’s a pretty special find for us.” DOWNWARD TREND Toronto RHP Miguel Castro, who has a team-high four saves, allowed two runs in 1 1-3 innings in a mop-up role. He has a 10.13 ERA with two loss-
this game. I’m on my journey. I’ll see where I get to.” It was quite a journey at TPC Harding Park, especially on Sunday. McIlroy had to start at 6:45 a.m. to complete his quarterfinal match against Paul Casey. Without hitting a putt on the practice green (only on the chipping green, which didn’t have the same speed), he put perfect pace on a 60-foot eagle putt from the fringe for a short birdie that Casey couldn’t match in losing in 22 holes. In the semifinals against hard-nosed Jim Furyk, McIlroy was 1 down when he closed birdie-birdie-eagle for a 1-up victory. He squared the match with a 7-iron to 4 feet and closed out Furyk with a 45-foot eagle putt across the 18th green. No such theatrics were needed against Woodland. After a scrappy start by both — two holes were halved with bogeys — Woodland began missing fairways and McIlroy took advantage. He won four straight holes, three of them with birdies, to build a 4-up lead. That was the margin until McIlroy began making a few mistakes of his own. He made bogey on No. 11 with a poor bunker shot. He failed to make birdie on the reachable par-4 12th with a wild tee shot. And his indifferent chip left of the 13th green led to another bogey. Woodland had a 4-foot par putt to reach 1 down with plenty of golf course left.
In their series opener against the Calgary Flames on Thursday night, the Anaheim Ducks did something they’ve rarely done in the regular season or the playoffs: they won in a convincing fashion. That’s a pretty unusual thing to say about a team thatís undefeated in the playoffs, but then that’s the mystery of the Ducks. As we wrote a couple of months ago, the Ducks finished the regular season with an absurd .805 win percentage in games decided by one goal. Now one might be tempted to say this signifies a team that knows how to win tight games, and of course, what could be tighter than two goliaths battling things out deep in the playoffs. So this bodes well for the Ducks the deeper they go, right? There’s only one problem with this logic: in games decided by two or more goals, the team had a record that was well below .500. Now before you start imagining that coach Bruce Boudreau was gambling — perhaps by pulling his goalie early, giving up lots of empty net goals and turning what would have otherwise been one goal losses into two or more goal losses, the Ducks only gave up eight empty net goals during the regular season, which tied them for 10th fewest overall. On the other side of the ledger, the Ducks scored 12 empty net goals during the regular season, suggesting that their weak record in games that were decided by more than one goal might actually have been overstated. This is a team that happened to win a lot of games that could have gone either way and lost more often than not when a game was decided decisively. We were curious to see if there was anything to this whole one-goal game thing, and as it turns out, there is. Specifically, we created something we call
the DOHA Team Luck Score, which takes a team’s win percentage in one-goal games and then deducts the average of its win percentage in two and three plus goal games. So, for example, Anaheim’s .805 win percentage in one goal games, .417 win percentage in 2 goal games and .448 win percentage in games decided by three or more goals would give them a DOHA Team Luck Score of 0.3725, which was by far the highest among all playoff teams. When we looked back at the 105 playoff series played between 2008 and 2014, the team with the lower DOHA Team Luck Score won 68.1 per cent of the time. That is, the team that was less lucky during the regular season was more likely to win in the playoffs, theoretically because the more lucky team wasn’t as good as its regular season record suggested. As a result, we predicted the Jets to defeat the Ducks in 6 games. We were wrong, and that happens — according to our model more than 30% of the time. Rather remarkably, the Ducks managed to enter the third period of each of the first three games against Winnipeg playing from behind and still won in each instance. Not until Game 4, in which they completed the sweep, did they manage a convincing win. To be sure, the Ducks benefited from horrendous goaltending from Winnipeg’s Ondrej Pavelec, who posted a grotesque save percentage of .891 overall and .902

during 5-on-5 play. Pavelec came into the playoffs with three consecutive shutouts, and he played pretty well in the first two games before going back to being Ondrej Pavelec in the last two. Meanwhile, youngster Michael Hutchinson, who might actually be good, sat on the bench. The fact that Jets coach Paul Maurice ‘went with the hot hand’ rather than recognizing that the hot hand must inevitably go back to being either lukewarm or in the case of a talent like Pavelec, stone cold, is something he’ll have to mull over on the golf course in the coming weeks. In their current series against the Flames, the Ducks have the good fortune of facing Jonas Hiller, who they know all too well from his days in Anaheim and who you can be fairly certain isnít going to suddenly morph into a superstar at the ripe old age of 33. If having the chance to fire pucks at a guy who they willingly cast off in favour of middling talent Frederik Andersen wasn’t enough, the Ducks have also drawn a Flames team whose horrid regular season Corsi For Percentage of 44.4 per cent was significantly worse than even that of the lowly Leafs and good for 28th overall. Many analysts (ourselves included) were predicting a Calgary collapse, and pretty much any playoff team other than the lightweight Canucks the Flames defeated in the first round is probably up to the task. On the surface, Anaheim is looking like a playoff juggernaut, but don’t be fooled. Thursday night was just one game, and even if they do take three more from the Flames, they then move on to face either the Blackhawks or the Wild (our money’s on the Hawks), and at that point, we’re betting their luck runs out.

Rampage expect another run to nationals BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Rampage 10 Warriors 6 Dustin Reykdal has big shoes to fill as new head coach of the Red Deer Rampage. The defending Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier I champions made history last season as they made it all of the way to the Founders Cup for the first time last season, where they finished sixth. However, the veteran coaching staff of Ron Just and Scott Gresham decided to end on a high note and retired from the club following the national championship tournament. The 23-year-old Reykdal was helping to run the defence on last year’s club but jumped at the opportunity to take on the head coaching duties. So far, so good as the Rampage are off to a 2-0-1, including their 10-6 win over the Edmonton Warriors on Sunday at the Kinex Arena. “I thought it was a good opportunity to step up and share my knowledge of the game with my experience playing and coaching under many other coaches,” said Reykdal, who has been coaching different levels for six years. “All of (my past coaches) have contributed to my style of play that we’re trying to implement and the systems we are trying to implement, and it’s really coming together.” Declan Johnston led the Rampage with three goals and an assist while Jordan Waddell had two goals and an assist. Kaden Christenson, Dawson Reykdal, Ryan Beatson and Brandyn Blain had a goal each. Trey Christensen chipped in with four assists and Brendan Machan made 27 saves for the win. Seth McDermott, Taylor Yaremovich, Randy Bourret, Ryan Ewashko, Chris Letendre and Tyler Sonnichsen all scored once for Edmonton. The two teams traded goals through the first 40 minutes, but Sonnichsen scored with 22 seconds left in the second period to give the Warriors a 6-5 lead heading in to the second intermission. Beatson tied it up 55 seconds into the third period, but the game disintegrated into a chippy ugly affair from

Red Deer Rampage’s Trey Christensen runs away from Edmonton Warriors’ Alex Simpson during Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier I action at the Kinex Arena in Red Deer on Sunday. Red Deer won 10-6. there with both teams filling up the penalty box. Machan was called upon to make several key stops for Red Deer to keep the score tied until Blain finally broke the deadlock at 9:20. The flood gates opened up after that and the Rampage scored three more times in less than a minute to take a dominating lead. “When our defence plays well our whole team plays well,” said Reykdal. “As we work hard on the back end, our offence was able to feed on that energy and produce goals for us.” Most importantly for Red Deer, they started to see the ball go in the opposition’s net. Through the first two games they had averaged just six goals a game
on offence. They lost some of their big guns off the Founders Cup team, including their top two scorers — Davis Reykdal (75 points in 14 games) and Spencer Lee (63 points in 20 games) — which accounts for the drop in production early in the campaign. But they do have some offence coming back, including their No. 3 scorer from last year in Beatson (26 goals, 23 assists in 18 games) and Dawson Reykdal (24-2246 in 19 games) and setup man Trey Christensen (5-34-39 in 16 games). Along with the other nine returning, Reykdal plans to lean on them hard as he gets accustomed to running a junior B bench for the first time.
“We’re looking for those guys to step up and lead the team and really set a precedent on the expectations that we expect from the new guys. Ultimately it starts with them,” he said. The Rampage have high hopes for young guys like Johnston and Waddell on the right side to fill the void on offence while Mat Giele has already shown big potential on the back end. “We’re just hoping they continue to develop over the year,” said Reykdal. “Even if they aren’t where we want them right now ... it’s the journey we are on to improve as a team and win games.” Until everyone gets on track, the one position the new head coach will not be losing sleep over is goaltending, as the Rampage return both of their goalies from last year: Machan and Darrian Banack. “I have no problem putting either Darrian or Brendan in any situation, come Founders Cup it’s important we have good goaltending,” said Reykdal. He is also going to try and put his own stamp on the team and introduce new systems and structures that he picked up during his playing days, that included three trips to the Minto Cup, the junior A national championship, while playing for the Calgary Raiders. “A lot of time with the older guys, they develop bad habits in older systems,” said Reykdal, noting their mix of young and old players is an example of the strength of Red Deer’s junior B system to continue to replenish itself. “We continue to develop the best players, so the new guys that come in, they’re good enough to play and we hold them accountable to a higher standard because this is the best junior lacrosse in Red Deer.” Reykdal’s not letting youth be an excuse this year either; after having a taste of the national championship tournament, he wants even more. “We have to go again, not just to play at Founders but to try and win,” said Reykdal. “I’m a competitive guy, and being at three Mintos and not winning any of them, I want to get a championship with this team and I think we’re a team that can do it.” Up next for the Rampage is the Sherwood Park Titans on Friday at 9 p.m. at the Kinex. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
Rage gunning for first win in over a year BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR
WOMEN’S LACROSSE
Cougars 6 Rage 0 The Red Deer Rage, as head coach Harold Albrecht joked Sunday, were perfect last year — as in oh-and-16. The Rage were involved in a series of close games during the 2014 Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League senior women’s season, but failed to nail down a single win. A year later, the Red Deer squad is off to a 0-3 start, although Albrecht sees as many wins as losses on this season’s schedule. The Rage opened with a 13-4 loss to the junior Calgary Cardinals, then fell 6-5 to the Edmonton Bandits and 6-0 Sunday to the visiting Calgary Cougars at the Kinex. Still, Albrecht has yet to experience a sense of hopelessness, and in fact was tickled with his club’s performance in their season-opening 13-4 setback. “That first game didn’t really dictate what we did. We had six crappy goals against, where our goalie lost it (ball) in her feet and it rolled across the line,” Albrecht said following Sunday’s defeat. “I also have at least eight
girls who had never played the game before.” While he was happy with his club’s defensive play despite surrendering 13 goals, Albrecht admitted his charges were that much better in Friday’s loss to the host Bandits. “We were almost flawless on defence,” said the coach. As for Sunday’s setback . . . “The team we played today is very good. They’ve been together since juniors and that’s their big thing,” said Albrecht. “I warned the girls that there would be a lot of crosses and as soon as the girls crossed they were going to be rewarded, so be ready with the quick stick and hurt them.” It didn’t happen Sunday, but Albrecht sees better days ahead. “We have a brand new goalie from Sherwood Park,” said the bench boss, in reference to Jillian Andruik. “Thank God she’s here, she’s a hell of a goalie. “And my other new girls are really stepping up well. When they started, their big role was defence, not so much offensive, and they all played a great
game today.” Last year’s record, Albrecht said, was partly due to the fact that he lost four key players from the 2013 team. “And I’ve got some of those girls back this year,” he said, referring to the likes of Janessa Sullivan, Paige Sweetnam and Leah Boucher. “We also had four goalies last year and I had to find time for all of them. “This year we are down to two goalies. Lorae Couchman is our back-up and she also plays out.” Albrecht is confident his squad will find the win column sooner than later. “Our new girls are really understanding their roles now, whereas they were totally lost during the first game,” said the coach. “They were like lost sheep, looking around . . . they didn’t know what to do, who to cover. “Now that they are more sound defensively, we can start working on ball control and other things.” The Titans got two goals from each of Boucher and Janelle Sullivan and a single courtesy of Sandra Bibby in Friday’s loss to the Bandits. ● The Blackfalds Silverbacks, with Harry Thompson netting four goals and adding two assists, thumped the host Vermilion Rage 18-5 in senior C
men’s play Sunday. Justin Kinnear scored three goals and added a single helper for the ‘Backs, while Luke Flett had three goals and two assists and Tyler McRobbie scored twice and picked up three helpers. Myles Nadon connected twice and chipped in with two assists, and Bradon Kripps, Dylon Cardinal, Andrew Munden and Troy Klaus also tallied. Cardinal and Munden each added three assists, with Klaus picking up a pair. Goaltender Collin Lampart got the win in his first game in over 14 years. On Saturday, the Silverbacks downed the Rage 14-4 as McRobbie, Klaus and Shandi Werenka each tallied twice and Flett, Kinnear, Nadon, Ray Williams, Kevin Brown, David Wilton, Bryan Watts and Kripps also scored. Chris Davis was the winning netminder. ● The Lacoka Locos downed the visiting Okotoks Ice 7-4 in junior B tier 2 action Saturday as Dustin Bell scored twice and Cooper Smyth, Jordan Smyth, Carson Barnes, Dylan Rowley and Dakota Haarsad also tallied. The Locos were 20-5 losers to the host Lethbridge Barriducas Sunday. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com
Titan ladies impress during first game of rugby season BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Titans 30 Irish 7 The host Red Deer Titans opened their Calgary Rugby Union Women’s First Division season with a victory Saturday. And yet they didn’t. Despite rolling over the Calgary Canadian Irish Athletic Club 30-7, the Red Deer squad had to forfeit the contest due to the fact they had just 14 players dressed, one less than the allowed minimum. Still, head coach Bill Bowd was pleased with what he witnessed on a cool afternoon at Titans Park. “My assistant coach, Courtney Armstrong, and I were so impressed,” said Bowd. “They (players) did exactly what we asked them to do and they kept doing it, and that’s all you can ask for. “They played the game we wanted them to play and as long as they keep improving . . . and we’re going to get fitter. The fitter you are the better you get and by the end of the year I think we’re going to be a team to be reckoned with.” Of course, the Titans need more bodies on the field, a problem Bowd is confident will be solved in short order. “It looks like we’ll get a few veterans back as the season goes on,” he stated. “It’s been a really slow season as far as getting players out. “Once you have a win like this then all of a sudden players go ‘OK, well I
can play now’. I had one on the sidelines today who is going to start playing next week and I talked to one yesterday who’s going to start playing next week. So that’s going to give us more numbers and hopefully we can get the numbers up to 21 or 22 steadily, then we’re in a good position.” The Titans had six rookies in their lineup Saturday, including Anna Schoonhoven, who scored one of five Red Deer tries. The others were scored by Raven Craig, Dacey Livingstone, Katie McIver and Michelle Novotny, who also booted a convert and contributed a penalty kick. “We have some good, strong runners this season,” said Bowd, who has returned to the Titans women’s team after a three-year absence. The Titans women, historically a provincial championship contender, missed the playoffs last season for the first time in several years. Bowd is confident that won’t be the case for a second consecutive year. “We’re going to get better and better,” he said. “It’s been tough in the spring because we’ve only had eight or nine players out to practice. But the nice thing is they’re listening and learning. “They understand what I ask them to do. Rugby is a simple game. We keep it simple and the girls will do well.” ● In men’s action later in the day, the Red Deer Titans Second Division squad downed the visiting Calgary Saracens 47-13 and the Saracens defeated the Titans in Third Division play. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Earnhardt Jr. ends 11-year drought at Talladega BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLADEGA, Ala. — There’s something about Talladega Superspeedway — its ardent Earnhardt fans, the success his family has had at the track — that makes Dale Earnhardt Jr. feel a responsibility to put on a show. He failed to deliver last year, using a strategy that took him out of contention for the win, admitting he was “just really, really ashamed of that” decision. Earnhardt vowed to never again be cautious at the Alabama track, to always race aggressively for the win. It paid off Sunday with an emotional first win of the season. “Even if I wreck ... we’re going to be racing for the lead or trying to anyways,” Earnhardt said. “That’s my mentality till I don’t race anymore.” NASCAR’s most popular driver received a thunderous ovation as he pumped his fist outside the car window during a slow victory lap. He stopped at the flag stand to grab the checkered flag and flew it out his car window as he savored his trip around the track and into victory lane. It was Earnhardt’s sixth victory at Talladega — but first since 2004 — and he choked back tears after he climbed from his No. 88 Chevrolet. “It’s just real emotional. I haven’t
won here in a long time. It was my daddy’s birthday a couple of days ago, and I’m just real emotional, man,” he said. The late Dale Earnhardt, a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee, won 10 times at the Alabama track. He would have celebrated his 64th birthday Wednesday. “I think about all the races he won here and at Daytona, I love when we go to victory lane because I feel like I add to his legacy there,” he said. “All I ever want to do is make him proud. I feel like when we win at those tracks where he was successful, that’s exactly what we’re doing. “I don’t really get to think about him that much. His birthday came and went. Today, it made me think about his birthday, how much I miss him, how much he meant to me and so many more people.” Earnhardt Jr. won four consecutive races at Talladega from 2001, after his father’s death in the season-opening Daytona 500, through 2003. He then finished second in back-to-back Talladega races before grabbing his fifth victory in 2004. But his dominance ended that season, then came several years of slumping results on the track. He finally turned it around last year with a victory in the season-opening Daytona 500, but poor strategy in this race last year cost him any shot at the victory.
BANTAM AA BASEBALL The Red Deer Baker Hughes Braves posted a 2-1 record in bantam AA baseball action during the weekend. The Braves fell 8-3 to Innisfail in their first game, getting a single and two RBI from Conner Dawes. Reid Howell singled in the Braves’ other run and Luke Wattenbarger stroked a double, while starting pitcher Will Cebuliak gave up one run and Craig Bradley surrended seven rins over the final four frames. In Red Deer’s 18-10 win over Camrose, Matthew Wik drove in three runs, Jon Snydal and Trevor Baron each
knocked in a pair and Howell, Ryan Richards, Levi Elliott and Braiden Michnik each brought one runner home. Michnik started on the Braves mound and was relieved by Elliott in the top of the first inning. Red Deer thumped Stettler 18-8 as Richards drove in four runs, Snydal, Cebuliak and Elliott each knocked in a pair and Baron and Eric Moore each had one RBI. Howell, relieved by Baron, was the winning pitcher. In other interlocking games, Camrose hammered Stettler 24-7 and lost 13-1 to Innisfail.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. passes Brad Keselowski (2) during the Talladega 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway, Sunday, in Talladega, Ala. So he was aggressive Sunday, leading a race-high 67 laps and easily winning when no one from a single-file line of cars behind him could challenge him. The win almost certainly put him in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and was Earnhardt’s first with Greg Ives, the new crew chief who stayed for the race at 8-year-old daughter Payton’s insistence after she broke her arm. “The emotion of making the Chase — I don’t think that people really appreciate the pressure that’s on these teams to get into the Chase and get these wins,” Earnhardt said. Jimmie Johnson finished second as Hendrick Motorsports dominated the race. But Johnson couldn’t pull out of line to attempt a pass on Earnhardt,
who was watching his mirror carefully to see who from the line would make a move. Paul Menard was third and Ryan Blaney was a surprising fourth in the only Ford that could challenge the horsepower from the Hendrick Chevrolets. Martin Truex Jr. was fifth and followed by Sam Hornish Jr. in another Ford, then Ryan Newman and Kevin Harvick as Chevy drivers took six of the first eight spots. Denny Hamlin was ninth in the highest-finishing Toyota and Josh Wise rounded out the top 10. Pole-sitter Jeff Gordon was a disappointing 31st despite a strong race car. He was penalized for speeding on pit road during the final pit stops, and the infraction dropped him to 30th on the restart with 26 laps remaining.
Warriors star Curry to be named NBA MVP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Some called him too small. Others too fragile. Stephen Curry has another label now: NBA MVP. The Golden State point guard has won the league’s most coveted individual award, a person familiar with the decision said Sunday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the league has not released the voting results. An official announcement and news conference are expected Monday, and Curry will be presented with the award on the court before Game 2 of the Warriors’ Western Conference semifinal series against Memphis on Tuesday night. Curry had 22 points and seven assists in
Golden State’s 101-86 victory over the Grizzlies on Sunday. Asked about the MVP award following the game, Curry said he had no idea. “It’s obviously just, in the middle of a playoff series, it’s hard to kind of separate yourself with other things that may or may not happen,” he said. “Obviously, I know what the situation is, and just trying to focus on the game, and if I get a call (Monday), I’ll definitely be happy, and there will be a lot of people that can be proud of that moment, as well, and we’ll enjoy it.” Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, the official television partner of the Warriors, first reported Curry won. He beat out Houston’s James Harden, Cleveland’s LeBron James and Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook, among others, for MVP honours.
Brooke Henderson continues strong run at LPGA shootout CANADIAN TEENAGER FINISHES 13TH, INBEE PARK COMES AWAY WITH WIN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IRVING, Texas — Inbee Park loves coming to Texas. For the second time in three years, she’s leaving the Lone Star State with a trophy. Two years after winning the LPGA Tour’s inaugural North Texas Shootout, Park closed with a bogey-free 6-under 65 on Sunday to win it again, this time by three strokes over Cristie Kerr and Hee Young Park. “I don’t know how I did it, but I did it twice,” Inbee Park said. “I love this golf course. ... It seems like it really suits my eye.” Park, ranked No. 2 in the world, never surrendered the lead after consecutive birdies at the second and third holes at Las Colinas Country Club, finishing at 15-under 269 for her second victory this year and 14th on the tour. This is the fourth season in a row the 26-year-old South Korean player has multiple victories. Kerr had three consecutive birdies to finish her round of 66. Hee Young Park also had a 66, birdieing the final two holes after her only bogey at No. 16. “Can’t complain,” the 37-year-old Kerr said. “I was great mentally. ... I thought I had to shoot at least 5 or 6 under to have a chance, and I did that.” Lydia Ko, coming off a win last week in California, will maintain the No. 1 ranking even after a closing 71 to tie for 41st at even par. The 18-yearold from New Zealand is donating her $6,241 check to Nepal earthquake re-
lief. “I didn’t know if I was even going to be able to make the cut or even make a donation,” said Ko, who was just on the line to make the primary cut Friday and secondary cut Saturday. “Luckily, I was able to play all four days. ... The last three days was a lot of grinding, but I’m happy that I can contribute.” Lexi Thompson, who shared the third-round lead with Park, closed with a 69 to tie for fourth with Maria McBride (65) at 11 under. A stroke behind Park midway through the round, Thompson was set to get even again after her approach to about 5 feet at the 415-yard ninth hole. But before making that birdie putt, Park curled in a much longer putt there to get to 12 under. “That really got me going into the momentum, and that definitely gave me a lot of confidence on the greens,” Park said. “I thought maybe today is not the day for me on the putting because it didn’t want to go in on the front nine.” Park was four strokes ahead of Thompson after a 10-foot birdie putt at the 390-yard 15th hole to get to 14 under. Thompson hit her approach through that green and made a bogey. Park, the HSBC Women’s Champions winner in March in Singapore, pushed her career total to nearly $10.8 million with the $195,000 first-prize check. Angela Stanford, who lives in nearby Fort Worth and attended TCU, was at 10 under after a 69. That was a stroke
ahead of a trio of defending champion Stacy Lewis (67), Juli Inkster (67) and Karrie Webb (70). It was the first top-10 finish since 2011 for Inkster, the 54-year-old Solheim Cup captain and 31-time tour winner. McBride made only $49,315 in her 32 previous starts since 2012, when the Swede had her last top-10 finish. The tie for fourth will net her $61,259 after a round with two eagles, and just missing a third on the final hole. Brooke Henderson, the 17-year-old Canadian who nearly made a playoff last week in San Francisco and was the second-round leader in Texas, opened Sunday with a birdie to get to 9 under and match the leaders who had not yet teed off. But Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., was out of contention after a three-hole stretch that started with a bogey at the par-5 third hole, where her approach settled in a concrete culvert under a city street between holes. She double bogeyed the par-3 fourth
RED DEER
after her tee shot went in the water, then had another bogey at the fifth hole. Henderson’s 73 left her in a tie for 13th at 6-under 278. “You know, my back nine was really good,” Henderson said. “It was just a couple of holes on the front nine just sort of got me, and bogey, double bogey, and after that I knew that I had just had to keep grinding it out and try and get the best finish that I could.” The LPGA Tour has denied Henderson a membership waiver to its minimum age requirement of 18. To make the field in Texas, she took an overnight flight after finishing the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic and then had to endure a qualifying round stretched over two days because of weather before a playoff. “It has been a long week,” she said. “I’m excited to sort of go and relax a little bit while I caddie for my sister in South Carolina. But it’s been a lot of fun and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

QB’s find teams on third day of draft BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NFL
CHICAGO — Quarterbacks Bryce Petty and Brett Hundley found their way into the NFL on Day 3 of the draft Saturday — heading to entirely different circumstances. Baylor’s Petty went to the New York Jets, who’ve had inconsistency at the position for years. UCLA’s Hundley will journey to Green Bay, where hardly anyone remembers the last time the Packers had questions behind centre. The Jets made an early splash in the fourth round after a night of contemplating who remained on the board. New York moved up one spot in a deal with Jacksonville to get the prolific passer who operated a spread offence in college. Petty will have plenty to learn in the pros, and will have Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Simms ahead on the depth chart. But the Jets have not truly been set at quarterback since the days of Chad Pennington, and new coach Todd Bowles has no ties to the other QBs. As for the big transition, Petty was confident he can do it smoothly. “What I was asked to do in college, it was different, but it’s not because I couldn’t do a pro-style offence or West Coast offence or whatever,” he said. It’s what I was told to do, and I did it.“ Hundley, who went in the first round of some mock drafts, instead had to wait until No. 147 overall. His next stop is Lambeau Field, hardly a quarterbacking abyss. “I think Green Bay is the perfect organization to learn as much as possible, and they have the best coaches to help me do that,” Hundley said. “And Aaron Rodgers.” Another quarterback went in the fourth round — well a former QB, Blake Bell of Oklahoma. The “Belldozer” is now a tight end and wound up San Francisco. “In your eyes, you’re kind of just, ’Hey, I played quarterback before. So,
it’s I can see the coverage, man, zone, what the corner’s doing, linebackers, D-ends, stuff like that,’ ” he said. “It obviously helped.” Tennessee began the fourth round by taking defensive tackle Angelo Blackson of Auburn. His partner at the position with the Tigers, Gabe Wright, went to Detroit soon after. Cincinnati chose cornerback Josh Shaw of Southern California, who had a 10-game suspension when he lied to school officials about how he sprained his ankles in a preseason fall. Shaw jumped 20 feet from a balcony following an argument with his girlfriend in late August. He then made up an elaborate story about saving his nephew from drowning in a swimming pool. “I know that I’m selected in the fourth round primarily because of that incident and me lying,” he said. “The most important thing I learned is to not even put myself in that position and always be truthful.” The first player drafted from Navy in 20 years, long snapper Joe Cardona, went 186th to New England. He was the only player at that position at the combine in February. “Right now I’m prepared to be the best football player I can be for the New England Patriots, and the best naval officer I can be,” Cardona said. “Whatever duty I’m doing at the time I’m doing it, I’m just prepared to do my best. ” The last Middie selected was tight end Kevin Hickman by Detroit in the sixth round. One spot earlier, the first kicker was chosen, punter Bradley Pinion of Clemson going to San Francisco. He will try to unseat veteran Andy Lee. “Andy’s been in the league a long time and he’s a great punter,” Pinion said. “There’s a reason he’s been in the league 10 years. They said it’s an open competition and let the best person win.” UAB, which has disbanded its foot-

Florida State All-America TE Nick O’Leary, the grandson of Jack Nicklaus, wound up with Buffalo in the sixth, and, fittingly on Saturday, A.J. Derby, tight end from Arkansas, went to New England. The final pick of the shortest sevenround draft at 13 hours, 45 minutes, is dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant.” The, uh, honour went to Louisville tight end Gerald Christian, who was selected by Arizona. In all, 24 trades were made, includ-
ing two transactions involving the last tradable pick, No. 249. That wound up with Atlanta, which grabbed San Jose State safety Akeem King before the compensatory picks began. ACC schools Florida State (11) and Louisville (10) led the way in total picks. Florida was next with eight. The three big Florida schools had 26 players chosen, with Miami adding in seven. But the SEC had the most players taken with 54, followed by the ACC with 47. Among the major schools with no selections were North Carolina, North Carolina State, Syracuse, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Colorado, Arizona and California.

He had 1,423 rushing yards and a school-record 26 TDs last season to capture the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League’s offensive player of the year. Varga was Canadian university football’s top rookie in 2011 at Western before transferring to Yale.

American Pharoah takes Kentucky Derby VICTORY GIVES TRAINER A WIN AFTER YEARS OF CLOSE CALLS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three times in seven years, Bob Baffert left the Kentucky Derby empty-handed. Two seconds and a sixth-place finish by the wagering favourite. After a while, those close calls started taking a toll. Even for a three-time Derby winner. “When you get beat like that, all these seconds, you get to a point in your life, maybe it’s not just going to happen for me,” said Baffert, 62, who suffered a heart attack in Dubai three years ago. “And then they sent me this horse. And I thought, ’Wow, here’s my chance. Don’t mess it up, Bob.”’ On this first Saturday in May, Baffert knew he had the best horse in American Pharoah. Still, he needed a dynamic performance and some oldfashioned racing luck. He got it all — and then some — with a horse that even rival trainers suspect could be a threat to win racing’s first Triple Crown in 37 years. Sent off as the 5-2 favourite by the record crowd of 170,513, American Pharoah rallied in the stretch to beat Firing Line by a length and deliver Baffert’s first Derby since 2002. “There’s a certain aura about him, and he has caught everybody’s attention,” said a joyous Baffert, surrounded by three older sons from a first marriage and his youngest, 10-year-old Bode, who jumped up and down and waved his arms in celebration. Owner Ahmed Zayat grabbed the gold winner’s trophy — his first after a trio of second-place finishes in the $2.1 million race. “Finally, no more seconds,” he said, laughing. Baffert trained two of Zayat’s runners-up: Pioneerof the Nile in 2009, the sire of American Pharoah; and Bodemeister, named for Baffert’s son, three years ago. “This is for the Zayats, who have suffered so much running these seconds,”

Victor Espinoza rides American Pharoah to victory in the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby horse race at Churchill Downs Saturday, in Louisville, Ky. Baffert said. “We know what it is to just get punched right in the face.” Baffert also saddled third-place Dortmund, the other part of his lethal 1-2 punch in the 141st Derby. Firing Line finished second. “We were ready to rumble,” said Baffert, who went 1-3 in 1998, when Real Quiet won and Indian Charlie was third. “I just love what I saw today from both of my boys.” Dortmund set a leisurely pace with Firing Line tracking him closely in second. American Pharoah sat comfortably in third down the backstretch. That trio made it a three-horse race in the stretch, with none of the clos-
Canada captures silver at sledge hockey worlds BY THE CANADIAN PRESS United States 3 Canada 0 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Corbin Watson’s only loss at the world sledge hockey championship turned out to be the most important. Watson made 18 saves on Sunday as Canada was blanked 3-0 by the United States in the tournament’s championship game. “Corb played outstanding all tournament and he gave us a chance to win every game, including today, and we just didn’t capitalize on creating any offence for him,” Canadian head coach Ken Babey said. During round-robin play, Watson posted shutouts in his first three games and made 10 saves for Canada against Russia in the semifinals. His play earned him the tournament’s best goaltender honours. Steve Cash countered with eight saves for the U.S. — which won its third world title. Declan Farmer broke a scoreless tie 2:58 into the third period for the United States, with Daniel McCoy and Joshua Pauls adding to the American lead. Although Canada entered the tournament with its sights set on gold, Babey was still trying to find positives out of the experience. “I think we had a good tournament. I think it’s always disappointing when you don’t win the gold,” said Babey, who was coaching his first world cham-
pionship. “We moved up to second from third in the world rankings, so it’s a step in the right direction and it should motivate us as we go into the future.” The Canadians entered the tournament as underdogs despite winning the last worlds in 2013. A bronze medal at the Sochi Paralympics and bronze at the world sledge hockey challenge earlier this year posed pre-tournament concern. “You only have so many chances to play in gold-medal games,” said Canada’s captain Greg Westlake. “For me, this was the first one I’ve ever lost. I’ve been in three gold-medal games, and I’ve won them all. It’s different being on this side, but it is what it is.” Westlake, a native of Oakville, Ont., finished the worlds with 10 points, three behind teammate Billy Bridges, who won the tournament’s scoring title. Babey was impressed with the play of both Westlake and Bridges. “Greg Westlake was a very strong leader for us in this tournament and he’s one of Canada’s best leaders in sledge hockey,” said Babey. “So you have to recognize his efforts and Billy Bridges also and Adam Dixon had outstanding tournaments. Those guys continue to be the backbone of the program so to speak so we just have to find some other players who will rise up to their level.” Earlier in the day, Sochi silver medallist Russia edged Norway 2-1 in overtime to win bronze.
ers able to make up ground. American Pharoah angled outside and fought off a persistent Firing Line as Dortmund tired along the rail, his six-race winning streak about to end. “Coming for home I thought I might get there, but it wasn’t to be,” said Gary Stevens, who rode Firing Line. Now, the moment of truth. Could American Pharoah justify Baffert’s belief that he was an exceptional colt? “I was on pins and needles all week,” the white-haired trainer said. “I know I was coming in here with the best horse.” American Pharoah proved him right.
Chelsea claims Premier League title with win over Crystal Palace SOCCER BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — The five-year drought is over. Chelsea is Premier League champion again — with three games to spare. Chelsea’s players danced around the field after securing the title with a scrappy 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday that encapsulated the recent cautious pragmatism of Jose Mourinho’s team. “Today was not a game to enjoy,” Mourinho said. “Today was the game to finish the job.” But it was a trophy that was really won in the opening months of the season, with Chelsea having been atop the standings from the opening weekend. With only two losses in 35 games, Chelsea was rarely troubled in its pursuit of a fourth league title in 11 seasons. “This is unbelievable, we’ve worked so hard this year to get over the line,” captain John Terry said as the blue and white streamers descended on the Stamford Bridge field. “Today was a tough match, a little bit nervous, but we got over the line.” Fittingly, the title-winning goal came from Eden Hazard, a week after the Belgium winger’s dynamic, individual displays were honoured by his fellow professionals with the player of the year award. Although Hazard’s uncharacteristically weak penalty kick was saved by Palace goalkeeper Julian

Still, it was a long road to the winner’s circle for the colt with the unusually short tail — having had it chewed off by another horse on the farm — and the misspelled moniker courtesy of a fan contest. American Pharoah missed his first big test last year when he was scratched from the Breeders’ Cup with an injury. He returned with two easy wins this year against lesser competition. Dortmund and several other Derby contenders had beaten much tougher fields, raising questions about whether American Pharoah could mix it up in a 20-horse field. Victor Espinoza won his second consecutive Derby a year after being aboard California Chrome, and third overall. He and Baffert teamed to win with War Emblem 18 years ago. “He’s been a special horse since I first rode him,” Espinoza said. “I feel like the luckiest Mexican on Earth.” American Pharoah ran 1 ¼ miles in 2:03.02. Baffert tied D. Wayne Lukas and Herbert “Derby Dick” Thompson for second on the career win list. American Pharoah paid $7.80, $5.80, $4.20. Firing Line returned $8.40 and $5.40 at 10-1 odds, while Dortmund was another two lengths back in third and paid $4.20 to show. Zayat took a pre-Derby blow Friday, when one of his other horses, El Kabeir, was scratched because of a sore foot. Mr. Z, his third entry, finished 13th. Trainer Todd Pletcher’s trio of Materiality, Itsaknockout and Carpe Diem finished sixth, ninth and 10th. Frosted was fourth, followed by Danzig Moon, Materiality, Keen Ice and Mubtaahij. Itsaknockout was ninth on the same day Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fought in Las Vegas. Carpe Diem was 10th, followed by Frammento, Bolo, Mr. Z, Ocho Ocho Ocho, Far Right, War Story, Tencendur and Upstart.
Speroni at the end of the first half, the Belgian headed in the rebound for his 14th league goal of the season. The victory was enough to establish an insurmountable 13-point lead and dethrone Manchester City, which has now failed in both its title defences since 2012 despite heavy investment from its Abu Dhabi ownership. Chelsea is 16 points ahead of Arsenal, which has five games left to play. “We showed absolutely everything since day one, everything football demands from a team,” Mourinho said. “We had fantastic attacking football, we had fantastic domination ... we defended amazingly well.” The team also won the League Cup in March and Mourinho’s third Premier League title success confirms that the Portuguese coach is back at the pinnacle of management in England. Chelsea had only won the topflight once in its first century — in 1955 — when Mourinho delivered the Premier League title a decade ago after the club’s fortunes were transformed following the 2003 takeover by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Mourinho defended the title in 2006 before losing a power struggle with Abramovich the following year and going off to win titles for Inter Milan and Real Madrid before being welcomed back to Stamford Bridge in 2013. During Mourinho’s six year-absence, Chelsea won the league only once in 2010 under Carlo Ancelotti and the Portuguese manager returned to a Chelsea with the club’s finances now constrained by UEFA Financial Fair Play rules.

The Flying Cortes family perform on the trapeze.
Red Deerians entered a world of daredevil thrills, awe-inspiring tricks and laughter as they headed into the big top at Westerner Park this past weekend. The Royal Canadian Circus SPECTAC! 2015 show didn’t disappoint, leaving many of the over 7000 people in attendance breathless as they performed one seemingly impossible stunt after another during their six shows in the city. There were a couple of heart-stopping moments as audiences watched the World Famous Wallendas pay tribute to their ancestors by walking across the high wire in pyramid formation. Others came on the trapeze as the Flying Cortes Family performed a number of aerial tricks and flips. Audiences were wowed by the circus’ biggest performers, South Asian elephants Marie and Shelly, as they stood on platforms, turned in circles and performed other tricks in a Carnivale-themed routine led by Erika Zerbini and Dwayne Brake. Zerbini Liberty horses also performed, galloping to music, and circling each other inside the ring. Clowns, Spanish web and aerial artistry acts also entertained the crowd, before the show was wrapped up with the Death-Defying Motorcycle Globe of Fire, which saw the three riders drive around the inside of a steel sphere as it was lit on fire.

Housing sector hurting BUT IT’S NO 1980S ALBERTA FLASHBACK: FEDS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OIL PLUNGE
OTTAWA — The oil slump is sure to bruise Alberta’s housing market, but don’t expect real estate in the province to absorb another 1980s-style drubbing, says an internal federal government analysis. The Department of Finance compared the potential real-estate fallout in Alberta — a result of the late-2014 collapse in oil prices — with the pain inflicted on the provincial market during the deep recession of the early 1980s. The document was released to The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act at a time when economic concerns are top of mind for Albertans as they prepare to head to the polls for Tuesday’s provincial election. It underlines how the two downturns shared several similarities in Alberta: rising economic uncertainty, a cooling housing market and a drop in crude prices that followed an extended period of exceptional growth. At the time the document was produced in late January, the federal government was expecting any real-estate decline this time around to be shorter and have less bite in the province. The analysis said the “particularly severe impact” sustained by Alberta in the 80s was amplified by an even weaker world economy and higher inflation that fuelled big interest-rate hikes.
Alberta’s housing market has seen sales activity slow and prices drop of late. The overall Canadian market has also been experiencing volatility, with prices continuing to climb in cities like Toronto and Vancouver amid a prolonged stretch of low interest rates. Some experts have warned Canada could be facing price corrections or even a housing bubble. The Bank of Canada has sought to ease the fears, predicting the market is instead headed for a “soft landing,” even though it identified it as a key financial stability risk and estimated the country’s housing prices could be overvalued by as much as 30 per cent. When it comes to Alberta, however, March sales activity — compared to 12 months earlier — slipped by about 30 per cent in Calgary and by nearly six per cent in Edmonton, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. From March 2014 to March 2015, the association also found sales prices dipped by 2.2 per cent in Calgary, though they had increased by 4.4 per cent in Edmonton. In the 1980s, the federal document said house prices in Calgary fell by 31 per cent and by 26 per cent in Edmonton between 1981 and 1985. The de-

clines followed a surge in real-estate activity driven by higher energy prices, it said. The document, prepared for deputy finance minister Paul Rochon, also blamed Alberta’s housing slide in the 1980s on aggravating factors that are no longer present. The examples include the existence — and eventual failure — of small banks ill-prepared for the boom-time risks. It also highlighted the 1980 introduction of the controversial national energy program, which among other things, shocked the economy by setting oil at a “made-in-Canada price.” The memo pointed to the continued presence in Alberta of “non-recourse” mortgage policies, which it said could make the market more vulnerable “to a more-pronounced cycle of housing-price declines.” Non-recourse mortgages, which often allow homeowners to walk away from their foreclosed homes as well as the outstanding debt, contributed to a spike in the default rate in the 1980s and drove prices down, the document says. Ottawa doesn’t expect a rush of defaults in Alberta unless it’s hit by a “major increase” in job losses, the document said. Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently said that debt-servicing costs in Canada had fallen and default rates remained extremely low. But the more favourable situation in Alberta this time around would only partially offset the drawbacks of lower crude prices, the government document predicted.

BRIEF Mining company says workers on strike at facilities in northern Manitoba FLIN FLON, Man. — A mining company says some of its workers in northern Manitoba have gone on strike. Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM), which has operations near Flin Flon and Snow Lake, says in a news release that 180 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local No. 1848 began a strike at noon Saturday. The company says the striking workers represent about 12 per cent of its 1,460 person workforce in Manitoba. The union has said members want changes in wages and pensions. It says 96 per cent of its members voted against an offer from the company last month. Hudbay says it has a contingency plan in place and expects its operations to continue. “Hudbay sought a mutually negotiated agreement over several months and does not believe the strike action is necessary,” the company said in the release. The union said on its website last month that one of its main objectives was to reduce the gap between apprentice and certified trade wage rates. It said it also wanted issues such as grievance procedures and contracting out addressed. It said members were left with no other option but to strike. “We offered to assist management with a controlled shutdown of all operations in the event a strike, but they rejected this offer outright,” union representative Ian Morland said in a news release.

CEO could be on the hot seat at AGM BOMBARDIER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Bombardier’s new CEO is expected to be on the hot seat next week as he meets for the first time with shareholders who are clamouring for a turnaround plan after enduring a rough year by the struggling transportation giant. After just six weeks on the job, Alain Bellemare is unlikely to be blamed for the company’s poor financial performance, which drove its shares down 45 per cent in the past year and 66 per cent since 2011. But industry observers believe investors will be seeking reassurance on Thursday that the veteran
aerospace executive can develop a strategy for success. “Everyone is going to want to know where he’s taking this business,” said David Tyerman of Canaccord Genuity. The analyst said it’s premature to get detailed answers when Bombardier only recently hired strategic advisers to review the commercial aircraft operations. He said Bellemare has moved quickly to put his mark on the company by bringing in a new bench of top executives, including the head of commercial aircraft and chief aircraft salesman. A search is also on for a new chief financial officer. Kevin Chiang of CIBC World Markets said Bellemare has faced a “baptism of fire” after taking over from Pierre Beaudoin, who replaced his father as executive chairman.
The younger Beaudoin, who headed the company for more than six years, is now responsible for merger and acquisitions. The fate of Bombardier’s (TSX:BBD.B) railway division appears most uncertain. Some have also questioned the future of Learjets and amphibious aircraft. Bombardier said February it’s examining all “strategic options” as part of consolidation in the railway sector, but Quebec’s economic development minister said he’s been assured that the rail unit is not for sale. Recent reports from Beijing say two Chinese rail companies — currently in the process of merging to create the world’s largest producer — are eyeing Bombardier transportation to help extend their reach into western markets.

Many Canadians need help with retirement Canadians are blessed by having a healthy menu of options to save for their retirement, but whether by choice or chance many are not preparing for their postcareer lives and admit they need help with their retirement portfolios. A majority of Canadians appear to be leaving their retirement up to chance rather than choosing to plan their options, an annual RBC RRSP poll says. While 61 per cent of CanaTALBOT dians agree that one of their BOGGS top concerns is running out of money if they live to age 100 – a real possibility with longevity increasing for both women and men -- only 39 per cent confirmed they put money toward their retirement in 2014 and 30 per cent said they haven’t started saving for retirement yet. Women are particularly unprepared for retirement. Seventy five per cent haven’t done any retirement planning compared to 55 per cent of men. 60 per cent of women don’t have a financial plan compared to 54 per cent of men, 39 per cent don’t own RRSPs compared to 31 per cent of men and 44 per cent don’t have a company pension plan compared to 38 per
MONEYWISE
cent of men. “There are aspects of your retirement that you may not have control over – health is one – but you can help ensure you are better prepared for whatever your retirement years hold by planning for a number of different scenarios,” says Richa Hingorani, senior manager of financial planning support with RBC Financial Planning. “There are so many options available and you may be underestimating the possibilities if you don’t take the time to have a conversation about your future with a financial planner.” According to a study by BMO Global Asset Management half of Canadians say they need help with their retirement portfolios. Fifty six per cent said they need help deciding which investments best suit their needs. They also need help understanding how their portfolios will react in certain markets, making adjustments because of market conditions, ensuring their portfolios are diversified and determining their risk tolerance. Canadians have access to a pretty broad range of options when it comes to putting away money for their retirement. Retirement savings choices range from Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs), retirement income portfolio products, existing and/or planned provincial pension plans and non-registered savings.

panies have multiple options including Individual Pension Plans (IPPs), tax deferred growth through the use of corporate class mutual funds, and selfpayment strategies that can help them maximize after-tax cash flow. In spite of all the options available, Canadians still are not saving enough for their retirement. They have about $800 billion in unused RRSP contributions -- a number that is expected to swell to $1 trillion by 2018 – and a lot of people still are not using the TFSA to its full benefit. The BMO study found that Canadians also need help with retirement lifestyle and financial decisions. Half need help understanding how much money is needed to retire, 47 per cent need help with estate planning and 22 per cent need help deciding when or if to downsize to a smaller home. “Retirement planning includes both financial and non-financial aspects,” says Robert Armstrong, vice president of BMO Global Asset Management. “A financial professional can help by creating a financial plan that identifies your short- and longterm needs, what you need to save and what you need to do to reach your goals.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

Five things to watch in Canadian business this coming week BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week: Earnings, earnings and more earnings: Any Canadian with money invested in the stock market has reason to keep an eye on the slew of earnings reports and annual meetings this week. Companies ranging from WestJet to Sun Life Financial, Telus and Magna International are telling shareholders how they fared in the first quarter of 2015, a period of stagnant economic growth in large part due to the global slump of oil prices. And speaking of oil prices ... The oilpatch: On deck with earnings reports are Husky Energy Inc. (TSX:HSE), which has recently started up its Sunrise oilsands project and a huge natural gas platform in the South China Sea, as well as Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ), one of Canada’s biggest energy companies with a huge oilsands presence. Pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. holds its annual meeting in Toronto. Past Enbridge AGMs have been dominated by B.C. First Nations groups and environmental organizations speaking out against the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Alberta election: Albertans go to the polls on Tuesday, and energy policy has emerged as a key issue during the final stretch of the election campaign.

The governing Progressive Conservatives had been expected to win handily, but polls are suggesting the party is in a tight three-way race with the Wildrose party and the New Democrats. The PCs, in power for more than four decades, have been trying to paint the New Democrats as unfriendly to business and a threat to the oilpatch during a period of weak oil prices. NDP Rachel Notley has said it’s worth examining whether Albertans are getting their fair share of the province’s resource riches through a royalty review. The NDP would also raise corporate taxes to 12 from 10 per cent and Notley has said she’d expend fewer resources stumping for new oil pipelines than her predecessors. Jobs report: Statistics Canada releases the jobs report for April early Friday morning. The March numbers showed a gain of 29,000 jobs, driven by gains in part-time work. The report will provide the first glimpse of how the economy is faring in the second quarter after a difficult first three months of the year. Housing: Two key measures looking at how the Canadian housing market is performing are also released this week. Statistics Canada reports the value of building permits for March on Thursday, while the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. releases April housing starts in Canada on Friday. Economists will be looking to see how the spring home construction season kicked off.
Swiss pilot anxious, excited to fly solar plane from China to Hawaii for 5 days, 5 nights BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — A pilot said Sunday that he is anxious but excited about flying a solar plane solo from China to Hawaii on the longest leg of the first attempt to fly around the world without a drop of fuel. Andre Borschberg, 62, is due to fly over the Pacific Ocean for five days and five nights in the plane that has more than 17,000 solar cells on its wings to power its motors and recharge its batteries for nighttime flying. The Solar Impulse 2 set off from Abu Dhabi in March and has stopped in Oman, India and Myanmar. Borschberg and another Swiss pilot, Bertrand Piccard, are taking turns flying the single-seater Swiss plane during a fivemonth journey to promote renewable energy use. The 8,175-kilometre (5,079-mile) flight from Nanjing in eastern China to Hawaii — which may take off Thursday, depending on weather — is the seventh of 12 flights. None of the previous legs were more than 20 hours — compared with an estimated flight time of 120 hours to Hawaii. “It’s the most challenging, yes, in the sense that we never flew over the oceans,� Borschberg said in a phone interview from Nanjing. “There are of course also question marks with the type of airplane we have, is it capable to fly solo with this type of energy, and of course the challenge is on the pilot side as well ... can I stay alert for this leg and be able to pilot this airplane, can I keep my energy at the right level, can I keep my spirits, my mindset to get this airplane to Hawaii.� The aircraft will climb to the altitude of Mount Everest, almost 9,000 metres (29,500 feet), during the day to get
more sunlight, recharge the batteries and store more energy. At nighttime, the plane will fly lower, at a minimum of 1,000 metres (3,000 feet). The pilot will experience temperatures ranging from 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) in the morning to minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit) early in the evening while the plane is still high up. “It’s winter and summer every day in the cockpit,� said Borschberg, who flew military jets for 25 years as a reserve pilot in the Swiss army and is an entrepreneur by profession. He plans to take periods of rest of 20 minutes up to eight times a day, but said he doesn’t know if the weather or turbulence will let him. Borschberg said the plane has a “virtual co-pilot� that is a stabilization tool. It will sound an alarm to wake him if the aircraft does something unplanned. The cockpit is too small to stand in, although the seat can recline into a horizontal position to allow him to lie down and practice yoga. He also plans to use breathing techniques and meditation to help him through the long journey. He said that when flying, he focuses on how he feels as well as the situation in the air, so that the journey wasn’t just about exploring how to cross the Pacific using solar energy. “You don’t have the pressure of time so with this airplane you can really live the present moment,� he said. “It’s almost an inner voyage, at the end it’s not so much exploring the Pacific ... it’s also exploring myself.� The Si2 aircraft has a wingspan of 72 metres (236 feet), spanning larger than a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. At about 2,300 kilograms (5,000 pounds), the Si2 weighs about as much as a minivan or mid-sized truck.
A whiff of falsehood COW PASTURE CARRIES EVIDENCE DEBUNKING OBAMA KXL CLAIM KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BAKER, Mont. — U.S. President Barack Obama’s claims about the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline have been raising eyebrows lately in this tiny oilindustry town in eastern Montana. The locals smell falsehood — evidence of it lies in a cow pasture just outside their town. The scent of untruth emanates from Obama’s oft-repeated claim that the pipeline would simply ship Canadian oil, a statement he’s made several times while talking down the project’s economic benefit for Americans. “This is Canadian oil — this isn’t U.S. oil,� Obama said last November. That came as news to Jerrid Geving. Geving owns the land where Keystone XL would take in oil that, according to the president, doesn’t exist — up to 100,000 barrels a day of American crude, from North Dakota and Montana. Geving’s family has agreed to sell seven per cent of its land to TransCanada Corp. for an on-ramp to the pipeline — where storage tanks and a pump station would send U.S. crude into Keystone. It’s on a multi-generational family property, off a dirt road up a hill from the town of 1,800. If Obama ever approves the pipeline, the cows grazing there would be pushed to the 93 per cent of the property that would remain pasture. Since he’s already got a deal to be paid up to $1,800 an acre by TransCanada Corp., plus bonuses, he’s a little perplexed to hear the president say there’d be no U.S. oil involved. “I don’t believe that’s true,� Geving said. “He needs to look into knowing everything.� Obama’s every statement on the pipeline is being carefully scrutinized in anticipation of a final decision on whether to grant a border permit for the project. Pending that decision, hundreds of kilometres of pipe are currently piled up in a yard about an hour east of Baker, in Gascoyne, N.D. Local politicians say they’d rather see that pipe in the ground.

BRIEF Cleared once before, ex-Goldman Sachs programmer convicted anew of stealing valuable code NEW YORK — A computer programmer accused of stealing confidential Goldman Sachs computer code was found guilty Friday for a second time, after being convicted, cleared and then charged anew by a different prosecutor. This time, a Manhattan jury convicted Sergey Aleynikov of one of three counts against him, following a bizarre trial in which a juror accused another of tampering with her lunch
The annual property taxes from the pipeline would boost Fallon County’s revenues by 64 per cent and increase those in some neighbouring counties by as much as 117 per cent, according to a U.S. State Department study. That would help with roads, sewage, and airport maintenance in the county of 2,800, said county commissioner Bill Randash. The infrastructure needs are there, he added — in one part of Baker, there are septic tanks so old that wastewater occasionally floats to the surface of people’s lawns. As for the president’s claims about the pipeline, he said: “That’s not really true.... It’s not only Canadian oil.� Obama’s own State Department has extensively documented the proposed on-ramp with U.S. oil. Its study says up to 100,000 barrels a day would be American oil, in a pipeline designed to carry 830,000 barrels. That means up to 12 per cent of the pipeline’s contents would be American, and that the pipeline would transport nearly 10 per cent of the 1.2 million barrels per day currently produced in the U.S. Bakken formation. Those may be small percentages. The pipeline would only take one or two oil trains a day off the clogged midwestern rail lines. But they could make a difference to local businesses. It’s been a quiet few months with the collapse of oil prices, several said. Out-of-town workers have stopped flooding into the community, with new infrastructure projects on hold. The near-empty restaurants and bars last week underscored that point. In a clothing store, owner Merri Beck said she’s had to put off planned renovations. She said sales are down more than one-fifth this year — which an influx of pipeline-workers would help correct. “There would be more people in our town — not only in my store but also other businesses, such as the grocery store, the drug store, restaurants, laundry services, gas stations,� Beck said. “I hope it goes through.� Up the road, an excavating company has reduced its 20-member staff by five, and fears more layoffs are afoot. Keystone XL would prevent that. during deliberations. Aleynikov was acquitted on a second count, and the jury couldn’t reach a verdict on the third. “As today’s verdict demonstrates, the misappropriation of proprietary information is a crime,� Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement. Defence lawyer Kevin Marino had argued that Aleynikov violated Goldman Sachs’ confidentiality policy but didn’t commit any crime. The verdict, with its mix of conviction, acquittal and deadlock, showed jurors were befuddled by the charges, he said. “You’ve had a jury struggling with this� because the case hinged on legal questions, not factual ones, he said. Aleynikov, 45, worked for Goldman for two years, becoming a $400,000-ayear vice-president. He was accused of copying some secret, valuable computer code during his last day of work at Goldman in June 2009 and planning to bring the code to his new employer.

A monthly look at what’s scheduled to be added to the catalogues of streaming services Netflix Canada, Shomi and CraveTV: TOP PICKS Jake Gyllenhaal won over critics with last year’s dark drama Nightcrawler, which earned him a best actor Golden Globe nomination and a slew of other noms for the film— including Oscar consideration in the best writing category. It hits Netflix Canada this month, along with the new original series Grace and Frankie, which stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Martin Sheen. Last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot will also be available soon. Shomi is getting ready to roll out the British relationship comedy Catastrophe, a show that aired to rave reviews from critics in the U.K. (The Guardian called it “depraved, sweet and very, very funny”). The show was co-created by stars Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, who launched his comedy career on Twitter. Shomi will also be streaming the star-studded 2001 comedy Wet Hot American Summer (the cast includes Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd and Molly Shannon). Netflix is reuniting some of the cast for an upcoming eight-episode prequel series. CraveTV is the exclusive home of the new Showtime series Happyish. Steve Coogan stars as a married father of a young child who’s trudging through a mid-life crisis and trying to keep his head above water at work, where he’s seen as an aging ad man in an increasingly youth-oriented industry.

legacy. Sculptor Preston Jackson will unveil the 9-foot bronze statue Sunday in the city’s Warehouse District at the corner of Washington and State Streets. For nearly nine years, Jackson has dedicated himself to seeing the statue stand in Peoria, the city where the comedian and actor was born and raised that’s 125 miles southwest of Chicago. Pryor died in 2005. Along the way he’s faced challenges coming up with the money. He’s also faced hesitancy from some who objected to honouring an entertainer who abused drugs and was known for foul-mouthed humour.

Cobain doc provides new perspective on Courtney Love BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Although Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck paints a thrillingly detailed portrait of its tragic subject, the film also reveals much about his widow, Courtney Love. In creating the film, director Brett Morgen sifted through a sprawling treasure trove of the revered rocker’s never-before-unearthed home videos and personal audiotapes (diary entries read aloud, basically). Some of the footage is almost unbearably intimate, in particular the home videos of Love and Cobain affectionately cavorting in a heroin haze. And while Love has long been a target of blame and derision, the footage reveals a much more complicated, mutually destructive relationship. “For over 20 years, the public has come to know Courtney through the media’s (filter),” Morgen said in a telephone interview. “One of the interesting things about Montage of Heck is we experience Courtney through Kurt’s eyes. And who we come to meet are two young 20-year-olds who are intoxicated with a toxic love. “But I think the film really challenges viewers who come to the movie with predisposed ideas about Courtney,” he added. “But that was not from any sort of cinematic trickery. That was simply what existed on the footage I saw.” And oh, the footage Morgen saw — provided to the Oscar-nominated director not by Love, by the way, but her daughter, Frances Cobain.
He ultimately devoted nearly eight years to stitching together the film, which will screen in Canadian theatres for one night only on Monday. With Nirvana’s tunefully reckless rock serving as the ideal soundtrack, Morgen’s film traces Cobain’s transition from a “hyper-sensitive” teen, devastated by his parents’ divorce, to the reluctant icon receding rapidly into addiction. During one sequence, Cobain himself dispassionately recounts a highschool suicide attempt where he lay across the train tracks, weighted down by cement blocks, and was spared only by the fact that an oncoming locomotive sped by on the other track. It’s not as though Cobain’s too-short life suffered from a lack of scrutiny. But by avoiding Cobain’s guarded interviews in favour of his unfiltered personal documents, Morgen feels he’s provided new perspective. “(Audiences) didn’t realize there was so much more to the picture — that there was so much more art, so much more music, so much more experience,” he said. “You’re seeing Kurt laughing and loving and these different sides of him that were squirrelled away: his romanticism, his humour. “He was only in the public eye for three years and he was never that comfortable. One of the things you see in the film is he’s most comfortable when he’s by himself.” Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck will screen in Cineplex theatres on Monday.

This file photo, shows boxes of the measles, mumps and rubella virus vaccine (MMR) and measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccine inside a freezer at a doctor’s office in Northridge, Calif. Last week, health officials announced that German measles (rubella) is officially gone from North and South America, the first region to rid itself of the disease. Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This undated electron micrograph image provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on May 11, 1995 shows the Ebola virus. In a report released Friday, health officials think Ebola survivors can spread the disease through unprotected sex nearly twice as long as previously believed.
Report: Woman got Ebola through sex with man who had illness 5 months earlier LIBERIA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Health officials now think Ebola survivors can spread the disease through unprotected sex nearly twice as long as previously believed. Scientists thought the Ebola virus could remain in semen for about three months. But a recent case in West Africa suggests infection through sex can happen more than five months later. Based on the case, officials are now telling male Ebola survivors to avoid unprotected sex indefinitely. They had previously advised using condoms for at least three months. A report released Friday detailed the case of a 44-year-old Liberian woman whose infection likely came from a 46-year-old man who had Ebola symptoms last September. She fell ill in March, a week after sex with him, and died. Another woman he had sex with around the same time tested negative. The Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with an Ebola patient’s blood or other bodily fluids like urine, saliva, semen and sweat. Once patients recover, health officials say they aren’t contagious except there’s a chance it could still be in semen. Investigations of other recent Ebola cases in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone have pointed to sexual transmission from survivors, but those have not been confirmed, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. There have been fewer than 10 such cases, said CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund. It’s been difficult to pinpoint that sex was the only way they may have been infected,
she added. In Guinea, Dr. Sakoba Keita, the national co-ordinator for Ebola response, said a woman in the southeastern town of Macenta contracted Ebola after having unprotected sex with her husband. For the past month, officials have recommended all survivors use condoms until more is known. “We give a kit containing a condom,” to all survivors leaving the treatment centre, he said.

German measles eliminated from North, South America BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — German measles is officially gone from North and South America, the first region to rid itself of the disease, health officials announced Wednesday. Vaccines against German measles were first licensed in 1969, and were included in mass vaccination campaigns. It is now part of childhood shots. World Health Organization officials said it has been more than five years since there’s been a German measles case that originated in the Americas. Now, the only cases in the region are imported from other parts of the world. That’s enough time to certify Ger-
man measles as the third infectious disease to be eliminated from the Americas, they said. Smallpox was eliminated in 1971 and polio in 1994. This “is a historic achievement for the Americas,” said Dr. Carissa Etienne, director of the Pan American Health Organization, which is part of the WHO. German measles — also known as rubella — is a viral disease spread through coughing or sneezing. It’s generally a mild illness, involving a threeday rash and low-grade fever. But when pregnant women get it, the illness can cause birth defects. A U.S. epidemic in the mid-1960s caused thousands of infant deaths and thousands of other babies to be born with birth defects.

Arab coalition lands troops on ‘reconnaissance’ mission inside Yemen BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It was the first ground landing by coalition forces since the start of the Saudi-led air campaign against the rebels MORRISROE and their allies — forces loyal to ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh — who have captured most of northern Yemen MANOR and marched on southern provinces over the past year.

At least 10 migrants found dead in sea off Libya BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROME — Italy’s Coast Guard and Navy as well as tugs and other commercial vessels joined forces to rescue migrants in at least 16 boats Sunday, saving hundreds of them and recovering 10 bodies off Libya’s coast, as smugglers took advantage of calm seas to send packed vessels across the Mediterranean. The Italian Coast Guard said the bodies were found in three separate rescue operations off Libya’s coast. The Coast Guard was being aided by a tug and a merchant ship in at least some of the rescue efforts. In one of those rescues, a cargo ship found three migrants dead and 105 survivors on a dinghy in the waters north of Tripoli, Libya. In yet another dramatic rescue, migrants aboard a motorized rubber dinghy that was deflating were spotted by an Italian Navy helicopter. Boats in distress were being spotted so quickly Sunday, that in one case, a Navy vessel had just finished one rescue of 90 migrants when it immediately went to the aid of another migrant boat. One rescue involved 311 people, including 16 children, saved from a fishing boat in the smugglers’ fleet. Sunday’s drama at sea came a day after 3,690 migrants were saved from smugglers’ boats. Most of those migrants were still being taken to southern Italian ports even as the fresh rescues were taking place. The soaring numbers sparked the latest round of calls from far-right politicians in Europe for drastic action to stop migrants from reaching European shores, once and for all. Far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen said France should send migrants back across the Mediterranean Sea. A French patrol boat on Saturday rescued 217 migrants from three rubber dinghies and detained two suspected smugglers before all were turned over to Italian authorities. Criticizing European immigration policy, Le Pen said on Europe-1 radio Sunday that France should send migrants back to their port of departure so “traffickers know that no migrant will come ashore on our coasts.” With Italy bearing the brunt of the arrivals for years now, the Italian far right, spearheaded by the anti-immigrant Northern League party, has also been pushing for a radical change in how the migrant sea arrivals are handled. One such suggestion has been to keep rescued migrants aboard large ferries offshore until their asylum applications, a process that can take months or more, are examined. Then those only found eligible for asylum in Europe would come ashore. How the others aboard would be sent back to their homelands hasn’t been made clear in these proposals, which hasn’t made any headway in any case. Italy and humanitarian officials have been warning for weeks that the smugglers’ boats would continue to head toward Italian shores unabated, and that spells of mild weather and calm seas could see spikes in the arrivals. Some of the migrants rescued earlier in the weekend were brought to tiny Lampedusa island, while others were headed to ports in Sicily or in Calabria, in the south of the Italian mainland, on Monday. Temporary shelters for those rescued were running out of room for more even before this weekend’s new arrivals, local authorities had warned.

Survivors tell stories of rescue from Boko Haram WITH RESCUE NEAR, NIGERIAN GIRLS, WOMEN STONED TO DEATH, 3 BLOWN UP BY MINE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS YOLA, Nigeria — Even with the crackle of gunfire signalling rescuers were near, the horrors did not end: Boko Haram fighters stoned captives to death, some girls and women were crushed by an armoured car and three died when a land mine exploded as they walked to freedom. Through tears, smiles and eyes filled with pain, the survivors of months in the hands of the Islamic extremists told their tragic stories to The Associated Press on Sunday, their first day out of the war zone. “We just have to give praise to God that we are alive, those of us who have survived,” said 27-year-old Lami Musa as she cradled her 5-day-old baby girl. She was among 275 girls, women and their young children, many bewildered and traumatized, who were getting medical care and being registered a day after making it to safety. Nigeria’s military said it has freed nearly 700 Boko Haram captives in the past week. It is still unclear if any of them were among the so-called “Chibok girls,” whose mass abduction from their school a year ago sparked outrage worldwide and a campaign for their freedom under the hashtag BringBackOurGirls. Musa was in the first group of rescued women and girls to be transported by road over three days to the safety of the Malkohi refugee camp, a dustblown deserted school set among baobab trees opposite a military barracks
on the outskirts of Yola, the capital of northeastern Adamawa state. Last week’s rescue saved her from a forced marriage to one of the killers of her husband, she said. “They took me so I can marry one of their commanders,” she said of the militants who carried her away from her village after slaughtering her husband and forcing her to abandon their three young children, whose fates remain unknown. That was five months ago in Lassa village. “When they realized I was pregnant, they said I was impregnated by an infidel, and we have killed him. Once you deliver, within a week we will marry you to our commander,” she said, tears running down her cheeks as she recalled her husband and lost children. Musa gave birth to a curly-haired daughter the night before last week’s rescue. As gunshots rang out, “Boko Haram came and told us they were moving out and that we should run away with them. But we said no,” she said from a bed in the camp clinic, a blanket wrapped around ankles so swollen that each step had been agony. “Then they started stoning us. I held my baby to my stomach and doubled over to protect her,” she said, bending reflexively at the waist as though she still had to shield her newborn. She and another survivor of the stoning, 20-year-old Salamatu Bulama, said several girls and women were killed, but they did not know how many. The horrors did not end once the
Guessing game heats up over name of Britain’s new princess BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Princess Charlotte has a certain ring to it. Or how about Princess Alice? Britain’s newborn princess, the second child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, has spent her first night at home in London’s Kensington Palace, but the guessing game continues Sunday over what her name will be. When the baby’s older brother, Prince George, was born in 2013, the royal couple took two days to reveal his name, waiting until after Queen Elizabeth II had met her new greatgrandson. Meanwhile, Britain’s legal bookmakers have been busy taking in thousands of bets for the baby’s name. For weeks, they have been saying that Alice is the clear favourite. But in recent days Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, has become the front runner. Other top possibilities included Olivia, Victoria, Elizabeth, Alexandra and Diana, the name of William’s late mother. The newborn may herald a new generation in the monarchy, but it is customary for royals to look to their past for name ideas. The repetition of names in each generation is at least partly an effort to preserve the continuity of one of the world’s oldest institutions. A princess called Charlotte — a name that is French in origin — would be a nod to her grandfather, Prince Charles. In royal history, George IV named his only child Charlotte, but she died in childbirth at 21. George III’s wife was Queen Charlotte, who was born 1744. As for Alice: Queen Victoria named her second daughter Princess Alice, who was the great-grandmother of the queen’s husband, Philip. Her granddaughter, also called Alice, was Philip’s mother. Many think it is likely that William and Kate would use the name Diana — though probably as one of the baby’s middle names to avoid comparisons with her late grandmother. Like
most royals, the baby’s brother, Prince George, has more than one middle name (George Alexander Louis), and the same treatment is expected for her. William and Kate introduced the baby princess Saturday evening to the world, just 12 hours after Kate checked into London’s St. Mary’s Hospital to give birth. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms). The couple issued a statement of thanks Sunday in response to the outpouring of goodwill and international interest in their baby. “The Duke and Duchess are hugely grateful for the messages of congratulations they have received from people all over the world,” their press office said in a statement. “It means a great deal to them that so many people have celebrated the arrival of their new daughter.” The princess is fourth in line to the British throne, after her grandfather Charles, her father William and her older brother George. She will be known formally as Her Royal Highness, Princess (name) of Cambridge. William’s father and stepmother, Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, went to Kensington Palace on Sunday to visit the baby for the first time, joining Kate’s parents Michael and Carole Middleton and her sister Pippa. Prince Harry, who is in Australia, said about his new niece: “She is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to meet her.” The royal couple is expected to spend several days at their London home before travelling to their country home on the queen’s sprawling Sandringham estate, 120 miles (190 kilometres) north of London. The family is likely to stay out of the public eye in the coming days. The princess’s birth has mesmerized much of Britain, eclipsing the country’s hard-fought election campaign on the front pages of British newspapers. A number of London landmarks including Tower Bridge were lit in pink overnight to commemorate her birth.
military arrived. A group of women were hiding under some bushes, where they could not be seen by soldiers riding in an armoured personnel carrier, who drove right over them. “I think those killed there were about 10,” Bulama said. Other women died from stray bullets, she said, identifying three by name. There were not enough vehicles to transport all of the freed captives and some women had to walk, Musa said. Those on foot were told to walk in the tire tracks made by the convoy because Boko Haram militants had mined much of the forest. But some of the women must have strayed because a land mine exploded, killing three, she said. Bulama shielded her face with her veil and cried when she thought about another death: Her only son, a 2-yearold toddler who died two months ago of an illness she said was aggravated by malnutrition. “What will I tell my husband?” she sobbed after learning from other survivors who used borrowed cellphones to try to trace relatives that her husband was alive and in the northern town of Kaduna. Musa, who had been in pain and withdrawn after her arrival the night before, greeted a reporter with smiles on Sunday — and the news that her breasts were finally giving milk and
nourishment to her yet-to-be-named daughter. Another survivor, Binta Ibrahim, was 16 years old and accompanying her sister-in-law to the dressmaker when Boko Haram insurgents rode into their village of Izghe, firing randomly at civilians. On that day in February 2014, the AP reported at least 109 people were killed and almost every hut destroyed as the militants lobbed firebombs onto their thatch roofs. Ibrahim, her sister-in-law and two of Ibrahim’s sisters were among scores of young women abducted. Her two sisters escaped in the pandemonium that surrounded an air raid, but Ibrahim, who was caring for three children she found abandoned after the insurgents moved into the neighbouring village of Nbitha, did not go with them. “I had these three kids to care for and I couldn’t abandon them a second time,” she explained. She described trekking for two days from Nbitha to Boko Haram’s hideout in the Sambisa Forest with 2-year-old Matthew and 4-year-old Elija Yohanna strapped to her back and 4-year-old Maryam Samaila clinging to her waist. “They were so weak from lack of food that they couldn’t walk. There was nothing to do but rest when I couldn’t take another step, and then press ahead when I had recovered,” she said.

Hollywood lets young ’influencer’ fans behind the curtain BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Clad in his pyjamas, Reid Jones often blogs about Marvel superhero movies, with starry ambitions of one day becoming an entertainment journalist. A few weeks ago, the 16-year-old woke up to that opportunity when he was invited to conduct red carpet interviews with the stars of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron during the Los Angeles premiere. “It really felt like it was a dream,” says Jones, who travelled with his dad from Kennesaw, Ga., to the premiere of the movie that hits theatres Friday. Major Hollywood studios like Disney-owned Marvel are anxious to win over super fans, especially those who help build excitement online among other youngsters ahead of a movie’s debut. While the fan connection has long been cultivated at conventions like Comic-Con or Disney’s Star Wars Celebration, young writers like Jones — whose posts have been read nearly 11 million times — are increasingly being courted at events once reserved for traditional media outlets. This outreach is important for marketers, who call people like Jones “influencers” because they reach an under-25 crowd of frequent moviegoers, who are not as easily reached by the traditional 30-second TV ads that advertisers typically use to reach their parents. Fading are the days when movie critics at newspapers, magazines and other publications set the tone, particularly for the big-budget superhero movies that can make or break a studio’s annual revenue target. “When you’re reaching young people, you have to go to where the authorities on culture exist,” says Angela Courtin, chief marketing officer for Relativity Media, the studio that
has co-financed Fast & Furious series and is releasing action comedy Masterminds, this fall. “They’re no longer in bylines of The New York Times or the Los Angeles Times. They’re now on YouTube and Snapchat and Instagram and Vine.” Many of these influencers write blogs for sites like Moviepilot, which draw a large following of the younger audience marketers covet. According to Google Analytics, 37 per cent of site visitors are under 25 years old, and 71 per cent are under 35. Moviepilot Inc. CEO Tobi Bauckhage says that last fall, he and his co-founders decided to change the direction of their movie fan site to take posts directly from readers, which is when usage began to take off. In March, it had 17.3 million unique U.S. visitors, more than double that of a year ago, according to comScore. In a single week in April, fan posts outnumbered editor posts 1,431 to 486. Bauckhage attributes the growing popularity to fans like Jones, the Georgia teen who for the last year has written more than a post a day for Moviepilot. A month ago, he pored over a trailer and deduced — correctly — the hidden nature of the new character, Vision, in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He also figured out how two distinct weapons are actually part of one giant one that will determine the universe’s fate in the two-part Avengers sequel three years from now. “People like Reid knew more about specifics than some of our editors did,” says Bauckhage, who sold off the original website he founded in Germany and launched a U.S. version in May 2013. “We realized we really have to empower these kids to become creators.” The company rewards contributors with seats at early movie screenings,

In this photo, blogger Reid Jones poses for a portrait at the premiere for Avengers: Age of Ultron, in Los Angeles. Jones is possibly the world‘s biggest Marvel movie fan. For the last year, he’s written more than a post a day for fan site Moviepilot about its superhero universe. or swag such as action figures, dolls and mugs. The most popular ones, like Jones, are awarded with paid contracts as freelancers — his was $1,000 a month — although Jones and the site said that arrangement had temporarily ended as school got in the way. Some studios pay Moviepilot for access to these influencers. In one deal, 20th Century Fox allowed Moviepilot horror genre blogger Nicole Renee onto its lot for a sneak peek at its trailer for Poltergeist a day before its release. A few months earlier, she had been given early access to the Lionsgate
movie Jessabelle, after which she made the comment: “The film gave me chills throughout my whole body.” Fox paid the site a significant but undisclosed sum for a guarantee that her post about Poltergeist would be read 100,000 times and the trailer seen 1 million times, Bauckhage says. Usage more than quintupled the target. Bauckhage insists contributors are allowed complete editorial freedom, and says the deal was cut before Renee wrote her post. He said the site is also considering a profit-sharing model with its most popular writers in the future.
