‘He was on fire’ RIMBEY TEEN SUFFERS THIRD-DEGREE BURNS AFTER IPHONE BURSTS INTO FLAME BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A Rimbey teenager was badly burned after his iPhone 5c caught fire while he was sleeping on Monday. Josh Schultz, 16, went to bed around 10:30 p.m. in his basement bedroom when he woke up screaming around midnight. “He was on fire,” said Carol Schultz, his mother, “He woke up because he was in pain and his bed was fire.” Schultz said her son plugged his cellphone into the wall and placed it on the night stand beside his bed. He suffered third-degree burns on his right leg and right hand and burns to other parts of his body. The teenager’s screams alerted the rest of the family. “We found his bed on fire and the flames going up the wall,” said Schultz. “We called 911. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and tried to put it out while my husband was dousing the mattress with water.” Schultz said they got the fire under control while she evacuated the house with her three other children and dog. She said her family is still very shaken and her son does not want to sleep. The family is staying in a hotel while the house is being repaired.

Josh Schultz, 16, suffered third-degree burns on his right leg, right hand and other parts of his body when his iPhone 5c caught fire. Carol Schultz said her son had not experienced any problems with his phone (inset), which he had owned for about a year. “It sounds bad but it’s a good thing he was burned because if he had not been burnt he would have died from the smoke inhalation,” said Schultz.

“The flames were going up the wall to his two little brothers’ bedroom.” Schultz said her son has not had any problems with his iPhone which he

has had for about a year. The charging cord was in good shape too.

Wildfire hazard in the red in Rocky forest area When Barry Shellian first saw the wildfire in the distance just west of Nordegg on Tuesday, he realized by the colour of the smoke just how dry it is in the West Country right now. The wildfire ranger, who was the first responder, saw black smoke instead of the often white smoke from forest fires. Black smoke can indicate one of two things: either something human-made is burning, such as vehicle tires, or it’s a really dry forest fuel that’s burning very hot and quickly. It was the latter.

Accused tells trial she was coerced BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A woman who claimed responsibility in testimony for a stabbing death her boyfriend later pleaded guilty to, said she was threatened into lying. Janessa Desiree Eliuk, 26, is on trial on a perjury charge in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench. She took the stand Wednesday, as the defence opened their case. Eliuk said she was coerced by Paul Lionel White and his roommate Kenny Deck to lie during a visit to the Red Deer Remand Centre. If she didn’t lie for White, the two threatened to harm Eliuk, her son and her family. Her testimony started the third day of the trial before Justice Sheila Martin. She is charged with perjury for her testimony in White’s 2008 trial for the murder of Grant Shoemaker in 2005. Before White’s first trial, Eliuk met with Deck and White at the Red Deer Remand Centre. There Deck and White presented a plan to use the Canada Evidence Act to ensure White would walk free and Eliuk would be safe from prosecution for the murder of Shoemaker. They pointed to provisions saying a witness can’t be prosecuted for testimony given at a trial. The plan was to have Eliuk say during White’s trial that she had murdered Shoemaker. Eliuk said when she first heard the plan her reaction was, “absolutely not.” For her refusal, she was met with threats to herself, her family and her son. White had written down what he wanted Eliuk to say. Eliuk also said White told her he had convinced his family that she committed the murder. He said

his family would make police statements against Eliuk and take her son away if she didn’t lie for him. At the time Eliuk was living with White’s family. Eliuk said it was this fear that led her to lie on the stand. Eliuk’s father Kevin tragically foreshadowed the outcome to his daughter before she even took the stand. Kevin, who also testified Wednesday, said if Janessa lied and took claim for the murder, White would end up in jail anyway and she would face a perjury charge. On the morning of her testimony, Eliuk spoke with her dad. They hadn’t had much communication leading up to her testimony. Her dad was subpoenaed by the Crown to testify in the trial. He was brought by the Crown testify to Janessa’s whereabouts at the time of the murder, making it impossible for her to have killed Shoemaker. Before giving her testimony, Justice Dennis Thomas — who presided over the trial — warned Eliuk that if she gave false testimony she could be charged with perjury. White had fired his lawyer by that point in the trial and was representing himself. White was convicted of second degree murder in 2008, but on appeal a new trial was ordered. The second trial ended in a mistrial. Before the start of the third trial, White pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 18 years jail. Because of his time spent in jail before his guilty plea he had a little more than seven years left to serve when he entered his guilty plea in 2012. Defence counsel Tyson Dahlem, of Calgary, close his case Wednesday. Martin said the trial would now break until next Tuesday, when Dahlem and Crown Prosecutor Carolyn Ayre would enter into argument. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

School officials will no longer stripsearch students in Quebec QUEBEC — School officials in Quebec will no longer be permitted to strip search students as the provincial government moved to act on a report recommending that only police officers conduct such examinations. The report, made public Wednesday, was ordered following the highly publicized strip search of a 15-year-old girl at a Quebec City school in February. The incident sparked outrage right across the country after the girl told a local paper she felt violated by the search after school officials suspected her of selling drugs. Education Minister Francois Blais said Wednesday the practice will soon be banned. “First, it’s not acceptable because it’s a kind of humiliation for people,” Blais said. “And second, only because it’s not really efficient.” Fabienne Bouchard, a former prosecutor and retired lawyer hired to conduct the probe, wrote a school that has serious grounds to believe a student is involved in drug trafficking should call police. “The recommendations are clear and the investigation was necessary to clarify the practice and to clarify the law around the practice,” Blais said. He added that schools and police will need to co-operate in the coming weeks to find a solution on how they should deal with drug trafficking.

CELLPHONE: Smoke spread throughout the home “It just makes us scared to plug in our phones,” said Schultz. “How many people plug their phones in before they go to bed? Everybody so it is charged in the morning.” Schultz wants people to learn from their frightening experience and to be more wary when plugging in devices and to charge them in a visible place. The fire caused damage to the basement walls, the bed, mattress and night stand. Smoke spread throughout the entire home. Rimbey fire chief John Weisgerber did not provide estimate to the damage but called it “minimal.” “(The cellphone) got hot enough apparently to start on fire,” said Weisgerber. Schultz and her husband both have iPhones and have not had any problems. She is unsure if they will buy another iPhone. “We just don’t know,” she said. “Every time we plug in our phone, it’s a fear.” Schultz said this could have happened with any device whether it was an Apple product or another cellphone maker. Weisgerber said he has read about these incidents online but this was the first incident that he responded to in Rimbey. “Cellphones should never be on the bed just like candles should never be on the bed,” said Weisgerber. The fire remains under investigation. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

WILDFIRE: 90% of them are caused by humans The seven-acre wildfire, about three km west of Nordegg in a stand of spruce trees, was brought under control. It was the 38th of 39 wildfires in the Rocky Wildfire Management Area so far in the wildfire season that began March 1. It was caused by humans. While about 60 per cent of Alberta wildfires are caused by humans, the Rocky forest area — now filling up with thousands of long weekend campers — sees about 90 per cent of its wildfires as human caused, Shellian said. It’s very dry out there and the wildfire weather index hazard is high. Fire permits were suspended on Wednesday and no new permits will be issued until

conditions allow. Campfires may be restricted in the coming days if conditions worsen. There were three fires in the area on Tuesday — the one near Nordegg, a small wildfire north of Rocky they believe was also human caused, and a Clearwater County grass fire about six km east of Rocky outside the forest management area. People should make sure they have their campfires contained and in a pit and that they have tools and water handy, Shellian said. The province offers the free smart phone app, Alberta Wildfire, that provides information such as the location of fires. A prescribed fire was tentatively planned today in the South Idlewilde area along the Clearwater River, with the intention of restoring foraging habitat for elk and other ungulates. The area is about 55 km southwest of Rocky and 60 km west of Sundre.

REGIONAL OUTLOOK

Despite the high wildfire hazard, they can proceed, weather permitting, because it can be controlled with ignition patterns, and there are natural barriers to control and manage the fire, Shellian said. Such fires are several years in the planning. Shellian, who is based in Rocky Mountain House, said long weekend traffic on Hwy 11 was steady as early as Tuesday. He’s been there 13 years and said the number of people heading into the West Country has been gradually increasing over the years. Eighty per cent of Alberta’s population lives within two and a half hours of the area. “I’m sitting here right now watching travel trailers go past me, up that way, and it’s only Wednesday.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Shredding ban imposed GOVERNMENT WATCHDOGS INVESTIGATING DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION EDMONTON — Alberta’s incoming premier has called an immediate halt to shredding in all government departments amid reports of documents being illegally destroyed. Cheryl Oates, spokeswoman for Rachel Notley, said Wednesday the premier-designate asked senior civil servants to impose the ban until the NDP assume power in the coming days. “These are important documents and it’s important that they be preserved to ensure a smooth transition into government,” said Oates. There will be a review on the rules surrounding disposal of documents to see if any improvements or tougher measures are needed, she added. Opposition parties have been demanding action after bags and bags of shredded documents were seen being hauled away from the legislature after the Progressive Conservatives lost their 44-year hold on power in last week’s election. Government rules allow routine paperwork to be shredded, but docu-

BRIEF Woman loses appeal of conviction for operating puppy mill SASKATOON — A woman has lost her appeal of her conviction for operating a puppy mill in Foam Lake, Sask. April Dawn Irving was fined $5,000 after being convicted in 2013. Her dogs had been seized by the Saskatchewan SPCA in 2010. At that time, two of the criminal charges were dismissed because the judge said she wasn’t wilfully negligent in the care of the dogs. Irving’s name is also known to animal protection groups in Alberta, having been charged with animal cruelty after five dogs were found dead and 201 animals seized from her property in Milk River, Alta., in mid-January. She has already lost her appeal of an Alberta court order banning her from owning any animals. The Alberta SPCA has also laid three charges under the Animal Protection Act against Irving related to the seizure of the dogs.

Just before the campaign, Prentice called for an investigation into reports that the government paid out millions of dollars to a flooded-out Kananaskis golf course with ties to Tory insiders. Opposition Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said Notley should have acted sooner when reports of mass shredding at the legislature first surfaced. He said there’s concern that documentation of Tory malfeasance has been shredded. “Here we are already a week into a new government and no steps were taken,” said Jean. “I think it’s inappropriate for them not to have stepped forward before now.” Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark said he will push for greater powers for Clayton and other officials to stop illegal disposal of documents. “After 44 years is it likely the PCs have anything to hide?” Clark asked in a news release. “Where there’s smoke, there’s almost always fire.” Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team, which handles serious and organized crime.

West Country wildness The May holiday weekend is just around the corner, and those suffering from cabin fever over the winter are itching to get outside and embrace the great outdoors. And as is the usual tradition, authorities are asking campers in the West Country to be on their best behaviour so we can all enjoy Mom Nature at her finest. And they warn of the consequences RICK of failing to play ZEMANEK safe. This year comes with a double-barrel warning. One from a retired problem wildlife specialist with the former Conservative government. And one from the law courts ad-

INSIGHT

dressing misbehaving in the outdoors. Dwight Rodtka, of the Rocky Mountain House area, dealt with his fair share of problem wildlife in his years leading up to retirement. Rodtka is urging is outdoor enthusiasts be cautious about the presence of bears. And for the sake of safety for their pets, be aware there are killer wire snares out there meant for wolves — not for dogs. (See the letter to the editor below.) With wolf bounties paying upwards of $300 per head by the Alberta Foundation for Wild Sheep and other interest groups, snaring can be quite profitable. This message is not meant to cause mass panic among those enjoying the outdoors. But it’s important to realize that when we’re in the wilds, there are wild creatures out there and we must adjust accordingly. The May holiday weekend also attracts drunken rowdies to the West Country in droves. Troops of trucks towing flatbeds laden with off-highway-vehicles are a

common sight rumbling towards the West Country. But be forewarned, those who plan on ripping up fragile West Country habitat, and destroying delicate trout streams on these go-anywhere vehicles. A judge in Rocky Mountain House is fed up. In a recently ruling, the judge imposed precedent-setting $1,500 fines against two joy-riders ripping up the Clearwater River. The judge said he was disappointed in “the lack of respect the OHV users in (Rocky Mountain House) have for the environment and wildlife.” The Alberta Wilderness Association applauded the decision. “This precedent-setting decision sends a clear signal that the public will not tolerate this kind of wanton destruction of our headwaters,” said association conservation specialist Sean Nichols. “We applaud judicial actions that help secure vital watersheds for future generations.” Hefty fines are a positive step. But the law doesn’t go far enough. Hope-

fully the laws will be rewritten by the new government that call for far higher fines, seizures of off-road vehicles, and banning offenders from possessing such vehicles over a period of time. Here’s what’s happening in our priceless West Country at the hands of what Advocate outdoor columnist Bob Scammell refers to as the “kamikaze riders:” destroyed vegetation in nontrail areas; increased erosion; damaged sensitive wetland habitats; generated siltation into lakes and streams; damaged fish spawning areas; and impacted water supply services — to mention just a few. That’s only the environment. Frequently, these drivers end their joy ride in an ambulance. The holiday weekend is a great way to celebrate summer knocking at the door. Enjoy the hiking, wiener roasts, the barbecue, company of children and friends, and the occasional icy cold brew where it’s permitted. Just be smart about things. Rick Zemanek is a former Advocate editor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Beware of wolf snares when out in West Country As a retired problem wildlife specialist with the provincial government, I feel it is my responsibility to warn Albertans of a potentially deadly hazard in the West Country this spring, which could have tragic consequences for those innocently enjoying our public lands. Alberta Fish and Wildlife allows the baiting of black bears and wolves for sport hunting in much of the West Country. This practice is regulated and bait locations must to be posted with warning signs. Of course, anyone encountering these signs should leave the area immediately. My concern relates to the now common hobby of wolf snaring by Alberta trappers. Readers may not be aware that the West Country is divided up into dozens of registered trap lines, with trappers allowed to bait wolves so they can be snared. The foothill areas from west of Calgary north to Grande Cache is especially popular for wolf snaring because the Alberta Wild Sheep Foundation and local trapper associations provide a wolf bounty of about $300 per head. Wolf bait sites usually consist of a pile of road killed ungulates or other carcasses, around which up to 100 snares are set. One of the problems with this practice is that trappers can put their carcass dumps wherever they please and are not required to post any warning signs. Naturally, these locations are strong bear attractants at this time of year. Anyone out enjoying the country could easily and unknowingly stumble onto one of these bait sites with tragic consequences. I am afraid that it’s just a matter of time before someone is needlessly maimed or killed. If you are out enjoying the back country this spring, be extra cautious. Watch for raven and magpie activity or the odor of rotting meat—signs that could indicate a wolf bait station and that bears will likely to be in the area. Be especially careful if you have a dog along, as it may warn you of a bait or a bear, but unfortunately, a bear might chase the dog back to you. The dog could also get caught in a snare which was not picked up. Pay attention and be safe. Dwight Rodtka Rocky Mountain House

Congratulations to Miller, and thanks for the support To the constituents of Red Deer South: What an election campaign! I would first like to start by congratulating Barb Miller (NDP) on her victory in Red Deer South. I had the opportunity of dropping in on their celebration on the night of May 5 to congratulate her personally and it is easy to see that her heart is in the right place and her passion for representation will serve her well. In addition, I would like to congratulate the other candidates in our constituency for strong and wellrun campaigns. To the countless people who supported our campaign, from donors to volunteers and our campaign team, we could not have engaged the constituency in the way we did without your support and dedication. One of the most overwhelming aspects about politics is the willingness of people to stand up and help you move a vision forward, and in my case, I had the best team I could have hoped for. Finally to you, the constituents of Red Deer South, thank for you the opportunity of having a conversation. The 28-day campaign was the most rewarding of my career because it gave me a chance to engage with you on a one-to-one basis and talk about what is important to the future of the province. Our team calculated that I walked more than 200 km and collectively we knocked on more than 10,000 doors during this campaign, and I have to tell you, I loved every minute of it. While we didn’t always

Reverse cuts to French, Spanish instruction at RDC For decades, students have taken advantage of the opportunity to learn French and Spanish at Red Deer College. This experience has increased their practical communication skills and therefore their employability, and has also broadened their horizons and their ability to embrace and understand cultures other than their own. On April 29, it was announced that French and Spanish would be cut entirely from Red Deer College’s course offerings, effective immediately. Prior to this decision, French and Spanish were the only languages other than English offered at Red Deer College. The reasons given for the cuts were a reduction in funding from the provincial government, coupled with low enrolment. Class sizes in French and Spanish (at various levels) at the end of the winter 2015 semester ranged between 10 and 23 students. While these language classes are too small in the eyes of administrators, they are an excellent size from a learning point of view and have resulted in great success for these students. Indeed, smaller class sizes are a big part of what attracts students to

Red Deer College. Enrolments in disciplines such as second languages typically ebb and flow over time. These numbers would rebound in future if given a chance. Roughly 100 students each semester studied French and/or Spanish at Red Deer College. This decision means that now even more students will need to leave Red Deer in order to pursue some rather basic post-secondary educational opportunities. As a parent of elementary school children, I find that saddening and concerning. As part of their campaign, the NDP promised to restore funding to post-secondary education. My hope is that this decision can now be reversed quickly so students can begin registering in French and Spanish courses for fall 2015. If it is not reversed now, I cannot see French and Spanish ever returning to Red Deer College.

OMNIBUS BUDGET BILL REWRITES HISTORY TO CLEAR RCMP OF POTENTIAL CRIMINAL CHARGES BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Harper government moved to retroactively rewrite Canada’s access to information law in order to prevent possible criminal charges against the RCMP, The Canadian Press has learned. An unheralded change buried in last week’s 167-page omnibus budget bill exempted all records from the defunct long-gun registry, and also any “request, complaint, investigation, application, judicial review, appeal or other proceeding under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act,” related to those old records. The unprecedented, retroactive changes — access to information experts liken them to erasing the national memory — are even more odd because they are backdated to the day the Conservatives introduced legislation to kill the gun registry, not to when the bill received royal assent. The date effectively alters history to make an old government bill come into force months before it was actually passed by Parliament. A source familiar with the complaint, speaking on condition of anonymity due to its sensitivity, said the government moved out of concern Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault is poised to recommend charges against the Mounties for withholding — and later destroying — gun registry documents while the legislation was still being debated. Indeed, shortly after the story broke Wednesday, Legault’s office announced it would be tabling a special report Thursday detailing an investigation into the long gun registry and an access to information request. The government feels no one should face a penalty for being overly eager to enforce the will of Parliament before the legislation had been voted into law. A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney would only say the retroactive law will fix a “bureaucratic loophole” that allowed citizens to request heavily redacted copies of the gun registry data while the legislation to destroy the data was before Parliament. “This clearly goes against the will of Parliament that all copies of the registry should be destroyed,” spokesman Jeremy Laurin said in an email response.

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT INQUIRY

Military will implement all recommendations from report: Kenney BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Louis Andre Gregoire replaces a shotgun in the rack in a downtown Montreal outdoor store on May 16, 2006. The Harper government moved to retroactively rewrite Canada’s access to information law in order to prevent possible criminal charges against the RCMP. “This technical amendment re-enforces this point.” Legault’s office refused to discuss any investigations, citing confidentiality provisions, or even to comment on the government’s rewrite of the accessto-information law. Spokeswoman Josee Villeneuve said in an email the mandate of the commissioner’s office is to investigate compliance with the Access to Information Act by federal institutions and make findings of fact. “The office is not a court or tribunal, and the commissioner has no authority to determine civil or criminal liability. She therefore cannot lay charges against individuals,” Villeneuve wrote. Justice Minister Peter MacKay offered a cryptic

comment Wednesday, saying the reasons for the retroactive changes are “complicated,” adding, “There are other areas that we’re dealing with, quite frankly, partly at the Department of Justice.” The retroactive changes in the budget bill leave access-to-information experts aghast. “I find this provision almost Orwellian,” said Fred Vallance-Jones, an associate professor at the University of King’s College in Halifax and an expert in access to information law. “It seeks to rewrite history, to say that lawful access to records that existed before didn’t actually exist after all, and that if you exercised your quasiconstitutional right of access to those records, well too bad, you’re out of luck.”

Total policing expenses pegged at $9 million for Moncton RCMP shootings

ing on Wednesday afternoon. The city councillor said the regional policing authority will absorb $3.5 million in costs, with $1.5 million of that coming from a special contribution from the City of Moncton, and the towns of Riverview and Dieppe. The costs included the investigation of five different crime sites, the salaries of additional police officers, the cost of overtime for backfilling while officers were on leave, as well as meal and accommodation costs during the emergency.

MONCTON, N.B. — The cost of additional policing in the aftermath of last June’s murder of three RCMP officers has been estimated at $9 million. Coun. Charles Leger, a member of the Codiac Regional Policing Authority, said in an interview that the numbers were released at the authority’s meet-

Kitchens Engineered for Real Life

OTTAWA — The military accepts and will implement all 10 recommendations from a hard-hitting report on sexual misconduct in the military, Defence Minister Jason Kenney said Wednesday. And he said the government also intends to introduce a victims’ bill of rights for the military. The government went on the offensive as opposition politicians responded to a CBC report which suggested the military was ready to ignore some recommendations from the sexual misconduct inquiry. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said they were concerned about the report, which said Canada’s chief of the defence staff told the military to be prepared to ignore certain recommendations. The CBC said that even before the report by retired justice Marie Deschamps was made public, Gen. Tom Lawson told senior officers to disregard some of her recommendations. Among other things, Deschamps recommended that an independent agency be set up outside the military chain of commend to handle sexual misconduct complaints. The military initially accepted all of the recommendations “in principle,” but Kenney made it clear Wednesday in the Commons that all of them would be implemented. “The Canadian Armed Forces has accepted not two, but, once again, all 10 of the recommendations made by Madame Justice Deschamps.” he said in question period.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation. Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. SWISS HEARING TECHNOLOGY

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Rangers return to conference final BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rangers 2 Capitals 1 (OT) NEW YORK — Make the resilient Rangers play a Game 7 and they don’t even flinch. Dump them into a 3-1 hole in a playoff series and they simply work harder. And win. Derek Stepan scored 11:24 in overtime, lifting New York past the Washington Capitals 2-1 and into the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night. “We have a good group that keeps their wits about them and keeps calm,” said Stepan, who was mobbed by his teammates along the glass as Madison Square Garden shook from the cheers. “There is no real panic. We just go out and play. We just see what happens and we just play hockey.” Stepan’s wrist shot from the left wing after he won a faceoff — a rarity for the Rangers — capped the comeback. The Rangers are the only team to win series after trailing 3-1 in successive years, doing the same thing to Pittsburgh in the second round in 2014. “It’s a very special win,” said Henrik Lundqvist, who made 35 saves and became the third goalie to win six Game 7s, joining Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. New York, which had the NHL’s best record this season, will face Tampa Bay for a spot in the Stanley Cup finals, where the Rangers lost to Los Angeles last spring. The series begins Saturday at the Garden. Alex Ovechkin scored in the first period for Washington, which has lost five Game 7s in as many tries when leading a series 3-1. Kevin Hayes tied it in the second. Although the Rangers were badly outplayed early in overtime, Lundqvist stood tall with eight saves as the Capitals couldn’t find that winning touch. That’s something the Rangers seem to own in a seventh game: New York has won six in a row, including the last three series against Washington. “It’s hard to really explain,” said Dan Girardi, whose shot from the point led to Stepan’s winner. “We were down and it looked like we were down and out, and we found a way to crawl back in this series and win one game at a

The New York Rangers celebrate the game winning goal by center Derek Stepan (21) against the Washington Capitals as Capitals goalie Braden Holtby looks at the puck in the net in overtime of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals during the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, Wednesday, in New York. The Rangers won 2-1. time. We knew coming into this barn in Game 7 anything could happen and it went down to the wire.” It was the Rangers’ fourth overtime win in as many tries this year, all by 2-1 scores. It was a cruel finish for Braden Holtby, who was superb all series and made 37 saves Wednesday night. “Great series. It was fun to be a part of, obviously not fun to be on the losing side,” Holtby said. “We left it all out there. I don’t think there was one guy who wasn’t committed. That’s life sometimes.”

Perhaps a welcome harbinger for the Rangers: The last time they won a Game 7 in overtime was 1994, when they beat the Devils and, one round later, hoisted their most recent Stanley Cup. Washington was quicker to the puck than the generally faster Rangers in the first period, when Lundqvist was much busier than Holtby, making 14 saves. The difference through 20 minutes: Washington’s top goal scorer connected on his best chance, New York’s didn’t.

Ovechkin, who scored 53 times to lead the league, somehow got wide open in the slot after the Capitals won a faceoff and worked the puck off the boards. His wrist shot beat Lundqvist to the glove side. Late in the period, while killing a penalty, the Rangers’ Rick Nash, who trailed Ovechkin by 11 goals during the season, got free on a breakaway. He tried to deke Holtby and go through the legs, but his backhander was stopped as the fans lamented a missed opportunity.

Cougars coming on strong in boys rugby BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

Notre Dame Cougars Kyle Kryczka is tackled by a Hunting Hills Lightning Ryan McDougall during Central Alberta Hugh School Rugby action at Titans Park on Wednesday. Cougars won 69-15.

Cougars 69 Lightning 15 The Notre Dame Cougars boys rugby team are rounding into form just in time for playoffs. On Wednesday they beat the Hunting Hills Lightning 69-15 to improve to 3-0 on the season and set up a show down with the perennial powerhouse Lindsay Thurber Raiders next Wednesday for first place. The winner will get a bye to the zone final while the other team will have to play Hunting Hills in the semifinal. That exhibition game will be one the Cougars want to avoid, knowing the Lightning had an off night and were missing several key players on Wednesday. “We had an exhibition game and they actually beat us (217),” said Cougars head coach Dion Clifford, now in his third year with the team. “For our boys to turn it around like this it’s very good.” Notre Dame was led by Jesse Kowalchuk with three tries and seven conversions on 11 attempts while Dagbrani

Wande scored two tries and Kane Leblanc, Kyle Kryczka, Beauregard Aubin, Kalen Weaver, Dawson Shearer and Brendon Vavrek each found the end zone once. Shaun Howse replied with two tries and Zech Pilgrim one for Hunting Hills The Cougars have been building to a finals rematch with the Raiders all season, kicking off their short campaign with a tournament in Kamloops, B.C. “We won one game and lost two, but it’s more about the experience and the travel and the tour and the team bonding,” said Clifford. They are short on returning players with just three players back from last year’s team: Aubin, Mitchell Dube and Taylor Vida. With so much turnover this means there was a lot of room for young players to fill major roles this year and the likes of Shelby Smith and Grade 11 captain Alex Kulak. “He brings a calm attitude and leads the boys by example,” said Clifford of their young captain. Meanwhile Kowalchuk has made an especially big impact in his first year in the sport.

He is showing the speed that made him one of the region’s top defensive backs and return specialists during the football season, if he gets a seam or into open space, there’s not many who will catch him. Against Hunting Hills he almost always escaped solitary defenders, usually needing to be cornered off by multiple Lightning players to be taken down. But his coach says his talents go beyond just speed, agility and instincts. “It’s good that he’s keen and wants to learn as well, it’s good to have coachable players like that,” said Clifford. They are lead by a group of big forwards that allows their faster skill players like Kowalchuk that needed room to roam. Despite their youth, expectations are high for this group, even with the Raiders behemoth standing in their way. “You always hope to go to provincials,” said Clifford. “Lindsay Thurber is always the top team in Central Alberta, things are looking positive but it will be a tough game.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

Jonas Hiller posted a 26-19-4 record starting the majority of games, with a goals-against average of 2.36 and a save percentage of .918. The 33-year-old Swiss netminder was Calgary’s starter in the first round against Vancouver, but was on the bench the last four games of the Anaheim series. Hiller was solid and, at times, stellar during a 6-1 stretch towards the end of the season when the Flames clinched a playoff berth at the finish line. But it was a short trip to backup status in Calgary this season as coach Bob Hartley wasn’t shy about swapping goalies during games, or giving

Ramo the nod if Hiller took a loss in the previous game. Hiller, six foot two and 192 pounds, has one year remaining on a contract that will pay him $4.5 million next season. Ramo, six foot two and 206 pounds, has played out his two-year, $5.5-million deal. He turns 29 the day free agency opens July 1. To add another wrinkle at that position, minor-league prospect Joni Ortio is spoiling for more NHL games. The 24-year-old went 4-1 in a midseason callup when Ramo was injured. Ortio allowed a combined five goals in four wins over division rivals. Flames general manager Brad Treliving says settling the goaltending matter is on his to-do list. He has ample salary cap money to spend on re-signing Ramo, but may choose to spend it elsewhere if he feels Hiller and Ortio can maintain, or improve, the Flames in goal. “I thought both Jonas and Karri, they were a real big reason we got to where we got to,” the GM said earlier this week when the Flames cleaned out their lockers. “It seemed one guy ran with it a little bit and the other guy picked him

up. We saw that in the playoffs. Carrying three goaltenders — you can do it for a short period of time — it doesn’t make sense. That’s a decision we’ve got to make. We’re just not there yet.” Ramo went 15-9-3 in the regular season with a GAA of 2.60 and a save percentage of .912. He raised his freeagent stock in the playoffs. When Hiller gave up two goals on three shots to start Game 6 versus Vancouver, Ramo’s 17 saves in relief helped the Flames recover for a 7-4 victory and the series win. Ramo took over for Hiller again in the second period of a 6-1 loss to open the Anaheim series. He stopped 18 of 21 shots. Hartley stayed with Ramo the remaining four games. The Finn averaged 2.86 goals against per game and his save percentage was .906 in seven playoff appearances. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. “I don’t think I’m in a bad position,” Ramo said. “It’s my first time that I might have a chance to choose where I want to go. “I gave everything I have when I played and that’s when you earn contracts.”

A Ramo departure would open the door for Hiller to fully establish himself as Calgary’s No. 1 and earn a contract extension next season. “It wasn’t easy to have two guys,” Hiller said. “Sometimes it was tough because you felt good about your game and then you didn’t play for awhile. “It definitely helped the team to have that situation with the two goalies, even though as a goalie you sometimes wish you could just keep playing, especially if you feel good about yourself.” Ortio would feel overlooked if he spent another season in the minors. His short but successful stint with the parent club has the six-foot-one, 185-pound Finn wanting to challenge Hiller. “To have those games is huge for sure,” Ortio said. “It made me feel I’m ready to take the step, be here full time and battle for that starting job. That’s what I’ll be looking to do next September in camp. “No one wants to back up. Hopefully it’s my first full year in the NHL so I don’t think there’s any better motivation than that.”

Hawks win back-and-forth battle HORFORD’S LATE PUT-BACK GIVES HAWKS 3--2 SERIES LEAD OVER WIZARDS NBA PLAYOFFS

Hawks 82 Wizards 81 ATLANTA — With their magical season on the brink, the Atlanta Hawks needed someone to come up big. Al Horford wasn’t supposed to be the guy. He would not be denied. The Hawks centre swooped in to snatch an offensive rebound and dropped in a shot from right under the basket with 1.9 seconds remaining, giving top-seeded Atlanta an 82-81 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night and a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. “I wasn’t supposed to be involved in the play at all,” Horford said. “When I saw the ball go up, I just ran in there.” In a game of back-and-forth runs, the Hawks went more than 7 minutes in the fourth quarter without making a basket, then ripped off 14 straight points to take the lead. Atlanta went cold again, and it looked as though Paul Pierce had doomed Atlanta for the second time in the series. Having already made a buzzer-beating winner in Game 3, he got open in the corner and swished a 3-pointer with 8.3 seconds left, putting the Wizards up 81-80. Pierce taunted the Hawks bench and home crowd on his way back down the court before bowling over John Wall, who was playing for the first time since Game 1 after fracturing several bones in his left hand. Wall didn’t mind, throwing up his hands in celebration. The Wizards were on the verge of heading home with a chance to wrap up the series. Atlanta had one more chance. The Hawks gave the ball to backup point guard Dennis Schroder, who ignited a fourth-quarter rally and stayed in the game at the suggestion of AllStar Jeff Teague, who watched the closing minutes from the bench. Schroder drove down the lane and put up a shot, which was swatted off the backboard by Wall. But Horford yanked the ball away from Nene,

who tumbled to the court, leaving the Hawks centre all alone under the basket. Horford, who had 23 points and 11 rebounds, put it the easy shot on a night when both teams struggled offensively. “A heck of a play by Al,” Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. The Wizards threw up a wild shot from halfcourt that didn’t come close as the horn sounded. The sellout crowd nearly stormed the court, held back by security while the Hawks celebrated. Horford screamed and pumped his fists, having put the Hawks one victory away from advancing to the third round of the playoffs for the first time since the team moved to Atlanta from St. Louis in 1968. About 10 minutes after the Wizards lost, there was more heartbreak for D.C. sports fans. The Capitals were eliminated from the NHL playoffs with a Game 7 overtime loss to the New York Rangers. At least the Wizards still have a chance. Game 6 is Friday night in Washington. “Hey, these guys are fighting. I love it,” Washington coach Randy Wittman said. “They made one more play than us.” Wall’s return was the major storyline before the game. The Wizards star fractured several bones in his left hand in the series opener and missed the next three games. He was announced as the starter about 20 minutes before tipoff and wound up with 15 points, seven assists and four steals. Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 23 points. Kyle Korver had a tough night for Atlanta, making only one basket. It was a huge one, however — a 3-pointer with 4:58 remaining for Atlanta’s first basket of the fourth quarter. Horford followed with another 3 from the corner, and the Hawks were right back in the game. At the end, he wound up with the ball a lot closer to the basket. “We’re happy,” Horford said, “but we understand it’s one game.”

Crosby enjoying role as leader on Team Canada at world hockey championship BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PRAGUE, Czech Republic — When Sidney Crosby decided to play at the world hockey championship after his Pittsburgh Penguins were ousted from the NHL playoffs, it didn’t occur to him that his role on Team Canada would be much different than the last time he competed at the tournament. Back in 2006, Crosby was a freshfaced 18-year-old who had just finished his rookie season in the NHL. Nearly a decade later, he has two Olympic gold medals, two Hart trophies and a Stanley Cup to his name. “I never thought I was going to be one of the older guys on the team,” the 27-year-old Canadian captain said after practice Wednesday. “But it’s kind of worked out that way.” Crosby was Canada’s offensive catalyst in 2006, amassing 16 points in nine games and becoming the youngest player to win a world championship scoring title. He’s still a big part of Canada’s attack this year with three goals and four assists in six games, but he also provides veteran leadership for a talented but young team. That steadying presence is crucial for Canada as it heads into its quarter-final match against Belarus on Thursday. “He has provided tremendous leadership both on the ice and off the ice, as he should,” said Canada coach Todd McLellan. “He’s been to so many of these events. He’s won so much that guys look to him and he continues to carry that torch for our country.” Crosby said Canada’s key to success is making sure that the team comes together quickly and buys into the program. “Having everyone understand that pretty quickly is most important and I think we do — the comfort zone and just making sure everyone feels comfortable with the group,” he said. “You have some rival teams in that dressing room so it’s important that it happens quickly and I think it has. You can see the group getting closer with each day so that helps a lot.” For Crosby, that means setting aside his differences with Philadelphia Flyers Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and

Atlanta Hawks’ Al Horford hits a putback layup in the final seconds of Game 5 of the second round of the NBA playoffs to beat the Washington Wizards 82-81 Wednesday, in Atlanta.

Price takes blame for Canadiens’ playoff exit SUBBAN SAYS TEAM MUST BE BETTER With his pointed comments Tuesday night, Subban got to the root of Montreal’s biggest problem: relying TAMPA, Fla. — Carey Price won the too much on Price. The 27-year-old led Montreal Canadiens a division title the NHL with a 1.96 GAA and .933 save and got them to the second round of percentage, and his brilliance masked the playoffs. Ultimately, he couldn’t the Habs’ deficiencies. They were one of only two teams to save them from elimination. Minutes after the Canadiens’ season make the playoffs after being outshot ended Tuesday night with a Game 6 on average over the course of 82 games, loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Price and they were 20th in goals a game. But with Price leading the way, the Habs took responsibility for the playoff exit. “I didn’t play well enough for us to allowed the fewest in the league.

Canada’s Sidney Crosby celebrates his team’s goal during the Hockey World Championships match against Sweden in Prague, Czech Republic, May 6, 2015. Crosby is enjoying his role as leader for Team Canada. Brayden Schenn. “It’s been good,” he says of working alongside his Pennsylvania rivals. “You have so many tough games and intense battles against them over the years and you come here and put on the same jersey and all of a sudden you’re working for the same thing. “I think it’s kind of the cool thing about this, and the fact that everyone’s willing to do whatever it takes no matter what their role is at home. Coming here, it’s ’What do you need me to do to help the team win?’ It’s a great attitude and says a lot about the character of guys.” Though Canada cruised through the preliminary round of the tournament with a perfect 7-0 record to lead Group A, Crosby understands that a win against Belarus on Thursday is far from guaranteed. “Anybody can beat anybody,” he said. “It doesn’t matter the ranking or the guys on paper. They have a lot of skill and a lot of speed. We respect them. We know they’re a good team but we came here to move on.” A win on Thursday would be Canada’s first in a world championships elimination round since 2009. The Canadians have suffered quarter-final defeats in the past five tournaments. This year, Crosby and the Canadians are determined to end the trend.

Baltimore pitching brings down Blue Jays BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Orioles 6 Blue Jays 1 BALTIMORE — There’s something about American League East opponents that brings out the best in Miguel Gonzalez. The Baltimore right-hander scattered three singles and allowed just one unearned run while pitching into the eighth inning, and the Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Wednesday night. “He doesn’t have just one way to get you out,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Gonzalez. “If one thing doesn’t work, he’s going to go to something else. He’s going to go into the cupboard for something more.” Alejandro De Aza reached base four times for the Orioles on a single, double, hit by pitch and a walk. Rookie Rey Navarro got his first career home run with a solo shot to lead off the eighth. Gonzalez (4-2) struck out five and walked two in 7 2/3 innings to improve to 7-2 with a 2.38 ERA in 12 career starts against Toronto. The Blue Jays’ only run came on a passed ball in the eighth. Gonzalez also improved to 20-11 against AL East opponents, which could bode well as the Orioles try to defend their division title. “It’s a good league, and we know that,” Gonzalez said. “We’ve been doing a good job overall, and just pitching against the AL East is not easy. You’ve just got to stay focused and keep doing what you’re doing.” The Orioles, who won for just the third time in nine games, held Toronto without an extra-base hit for the first time this season. Blue Jays righty Aaron Sanchez struggled early, walking his first two batters in the second. After a bunt by David Lough moved them over, Caleb Joseph followed with a two-run double down the left-field line. Manny Machado and De Aza added two more doubles, extending the lead to 4-0. De Aza went to third on a wild pitch and Jimmy Paredes got an infield single for the Orioles’ fifth run. Sanchez (3-3) gave up a season-high five runs on seven hits with four walks and a strikeout over 5 2-3 innings. “The game plan after giving up five runs was just to keep them right there,” Sanchez said. “For the remainder of the time I was out there, I thought I did a good job.” One night after committing three errors, the Orioles came up with several defensive gems, including a running catch by De Aza in right and a leaping grab

Kisner looks to build on recent results, earn first win at Wells Fargo PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kevin Kisner sees no reason he won’t be in contention to win his first PGA Tour title this week at the Wells Fargo Championship. “If I keep playing the way I’m playing,” Kisner said Wednesday, “I’m going to win one sooner or later.” He’s been oh, so close. Kisner has lost in sudden-death playoffs in two of the last three tournaments, including Sunday at The Players Championship when Rickie Fowler capped an improbable comeback with a winning birdie putt on No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass. But the level-headed Kisner hasn’t wasted much time fretting over the second-place finish. He spent Monday at his brother-in-law’s Duck Bottom Hunting Plantation in Horatio, South Carolina, with fellow professional golfer Boo Weekley and some caddies from the tour hunting hogs in a remote area with no cellphone service. He didn’t shoot anything — “Might have been too many beers consumed,” he said, joking — but said it was a good way to decompress following Sunday’s intense final round. Although his first PGA Tour win has proved elusive, it’s been a strong year for the 31-year-old Kisner. He’s already pocketed $1.95 million, more than he did in his previous four years on the PGA Tour combined. He’s riding a wave where he’s striking the ball perfect — and he doesn’t want it to stop. “It’s one of those stretches in your career where you know you’re playing well, you’re hot and so you better keep playing and do it as long as you can,” Kisner said. Kisner would like to get his first win because of the exemptions and job security it would bring him on the PGA Tour. He said that winning would be like a “giant weight” lifted off his shoulders. But he’s not worried about lost opportunities. He said there isn’t much else he could have done to win. He’s hit all of the shots he wanted to hit. And he’s made most of the big putts he wanted to make — outside of one miss on No. 18 at The Players Championship that would have given him the outright win in regulation. He’s still trying to figure out how that putt didn’t drop. At the RBC Heritage last month, Kisner was in the final group and shot a 7-under 64 on the final day, a number that would mean a victory on most Sundays. Instead, Jim Furyk shot 63, forced a playoff and won with a dramatic birdie on the second playoff hole. “I’ve always wanted the ball in my hand coming down the stretch, and I feel like I’ve had it two out of the last three weeks,” Kisner said. Then he laughed and said, “One of these days, I’m going to shoot 65 on Sunday and come up and somebody is going to hand it to me.” Webb Simpson said he believes Kisner will break through and earn a win soon. “He’s playing great golf and it’s fun to see a guy like him, who hasn’t been in contention a lot, hitting great quality shots under pressure in big tournaments,” Simpson said. Kisner will face a weaker field this week at Quail Hollow compared to previous years. The tournament once attracted 27 of the world’s top 30 golfers. But it still features some formidable names, including Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Furyk. The tournament was moved to a week when many of the world’s top international players, as well as Americans Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson and Jordan Speith and Fowler, decided to take time off.

Toronto Blue Jays left fielder Ezequiel Carrera is unable to catch up with a long fly ball hit by Baltimore Orioles Chris Davis in the third inning of a baseball game Wednesday, in Baltimore. Davis earned a double on the play. by the second baseman Navarro in the fourth. That was all the support Gonzalez would need. After a single by Devon Travis in the third, Gonzalez retired 14 straight. A walk to Kevin Pillar in the eighth ended that streak. Pillar later scored on a passed ball by Joseph. “He’s always tough on us,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said about Gonzalez. “He’s a pitcher. He’s got a good, quick arm. He moves the ball around. He’s always been tough on us.” Navarro provided more separation in the eighth with his homer after being called up Tuesday from Triple-A Norfolk. “I just feel like it was something out of this world,” Navarro said. “That’s the dream coming true. Playing in the big leagues and then you hit your first career home run. It was great.” Baltimore right-hander Darren O’Day got the final four outs for his first save. STREAKS

Castroneves walks away from scary crash after car goes airborne at Indianapolis 500 practice BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Helio Castroneves started Wednesday’s practice session by flipping through the air in a scary crash. He finished it by hopping back into the cockpit and taking 11more laps. It was a challenging day for the Brazilian star, who was docked eight points by IndyCar officials for a rules violation in last weekend’s race just before practice started and spent most of the rest of the day trying to figure what went wrong on the first turn of his second practice lap. “When I lost it on turn one, I just lost it,” the three-time Indianapolis 500 winner said, explaining that while the takeoff was smooth, the landing was not. “I was just expecting the car to spin out backward, but when it started taking off, I was like, ’Whoa, this is surprising.”’ Castroneves climbed out of the car under his own power and was quickly checked, cleared and released at the speedway’s infield medical centre. Team owner Roger Penske said there were no broken bones. It was an uncharacteristically rough day for Castroneves at Indy’s 2.5-mile oval he knows so well. His three 500 wins are tied for the most of any foreign-born driver in Indy history. His four pole wins here are tied for the second most ever, trailing only Team Penske consultant Rick Mears who won six. In addition, he finished as the 500 runner-up in 2003 and 2014, has seven other top-10 finishes in 14 career 500 starts and has qualified for the first two rows of the 33-car race 10 times. Qualifying for this year’s May 24 race starts Saturday. But this month hasn’t

Castroneves was involved in a five-car melee at the start of Saturday’s Grand Prix of Indianapolis, a crash that knocked New Zealand’s Scott Dixon, from the rival Target Chip Ganassi team, out of contention before he even got through the first turn. Dixon complained then that Castroneves should have been assessed a drive through penalty for avoidable contact. Castroneves finished sixth. Dixon was 10th. Race officials took no action Saturday but on Wednesday blamed Castroneves for causing the crash and trimmed his points total from 161 to 153, though he remained third in the standings. Teammates Juan Pablo Montoya (171) and Will Power (166) are sitting first and second, while Dixon is tied for fourth at 144. All four drive Chevrolet-powered cars. “The penalty that fits the crime is a drive through and if that had

happened, we wouldn’t be talking about it now,” Dixon said before Wednesday’s practice began. “If they had addressed it then, I don’t know exactly where he would have finished, probably between 12th and 15th.” A short time later, Castroneves was on the track. After completing his first lap of the day at 219.183 mph, his No. 3 car wiggled going through the first turn. The car spun, slammed into the SAFER barrier on the outer wall and then started rolling backward between the first and second turns when a gust of wind flipped the car over. It landed upside down before rolling over, winding up on four wheels. “He just said that he got in the corner and turned as he normally would and the car snapped on him,” Penske said. “The thing that we’re surprised about is that as he got backward after he hit the wall. The car got airborne.”

Carleton Place’s Guillaume Therien made 46 saves in the losing effort.

Whistle shuts out Wheat Kings as Rockets sweep series to win WHL championship BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KELOWNA, B.C. — The Kelowna Rockets have advanced to the Memorial Cup. Jackson Whistle stopped all 19 shots he faced as the Rockets blanked the Brandon Wheat Kings 3-0 on Wednesday to claim the Western Hockey League’s Ed Chynoweth Cup with a fourgame sweep. Rourke Chartier and Leon Draisaitl opened the scoring with short-handed goals 19 seconds apart in the third period. Nick Merkley rounded out the Kelowna attack 13 minutes later. Jordan Papirny stopped 27 shots for Brandon. It was the Rockets’ second sweep this post-season. They beat the Tri-City Americans in four straight games in the first round. Kelowna is the first team to qualify for the 2015 Memorial Cup by winning their league title. The Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League already qualified as the hosts of the tournament, which starts May 21st.

Cassels scores OT winner as Generals beat Otters for 3-1 series lead in OHL final ERIE, Pa. — Connor McDavid is confident he hasn’t played his last game in Erie. The Otters captain, and projected No. 1 pick in this year’s NHL draft, had a goal and three assists on Wednesday as Erie dropped a 6-5 overtime decision to the Oshawa Generals to fall behind 3-1 in the best-of-seven Ontario Hockey League final. Oshawa can close out the series with a win on home ice on Friday. “I look forward to coming back to (Erie) on Sunday (for Game 6),” McDavid said. “Obviously it’s upsetting, but we’re not out until we’re out. Everyone still believes in this group.” Cole Cassels scored a power-play goal off a Matt Mistele rebound 8:19 into overtime to bring the Generals within a win of their first league championship since 1990. The sequence began with an untimely delay of game penalty against Mason Marchment, who flipped the puck over the glass and into the crowd while trying to clear the puck out of the Otters’ zone. Erie killed off all but 10 seconds of the man advantage, until Cassels, who also had two assists, flipped a shot past goaltender Devin Williams to end the game. Mistele also had two goals in regulation for Oshawa, which squandered a pair of two-goal leads and trailed 5-4 late in the second period. Josh Brown, Stephen Desrocher and Mitchell Vande Sompel also scored. Nicholas Baptiste, Dylan Strome and Darren Raddysh had a goal and a helper apiece for the Otters while Jake Marchment rounded out the attack.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Warriors whip Grizzlies to take 3-2 series lead OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry turned in an MVP-worthy performance, Klay Thompson snapped out of his shooting funk and the Golden State Warriors rolled past the Memphis Grizzlies 98-78 on Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series.

Curry scored 18 points on six 3-pointers and added a career-playoff high six steals to go with seven rebounds and five assists. Thompson scored 21 points, and Harrison Barnes had 14 as the Warriors won their second straight game in impressive fashion. Golden State can close out the Grizzlies in Game 6 on Friday night in Memphis. With defensive stopper Tony Allen sidelined with a left hamstring injury, the Grizzlies struggled to contain Golden State’s streaky shooters. The Warriors made 14 of 30 shots from 3-point range, while Memphis made just four of 15 from long distance.

In the first 24 hours after the project ment can be done in a day (see the example below of recruitment for a Parkinson’s disease study), and a study might be done at a tenth of the former cost. ResearchKit automates delivery of health data from volunteers to researchers by using the iPhone’s accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS sensors and other capabilities. That’s what takes the tough work out of finding and retaining study participants. It also will help solve the tantalizing mystery of “lost” data — the daily details of study participants’ lives that often go unnoted, because traditional studies may check in on volunteers only sporadically. For example, it could let researchers discover (this is just hypothetical) that walking 9,720 steps a day helps control Parkinson’s symptoms, but getting 200 steps less doesn’t have the same benefits! Finally, doctors and researchers from around the world can remotely track the health of thousands, if not millions, of people with chronic conditions (only with their permission, of course).

Understanding Parkinson’s symptoms: The University of Rochester and Sage Bionetworks created the mPower app to measure links between Parkinson’s disease severity and symptoms related to dexterity, balance, memory and gait. This information could help researchers better understand how various symptoms are connected to Parkinson’s disease. Within a day of the announcement, 5,589 volunteers signed up. What’s in it for them? A better understanding of their symptoms and their health. Breathing easier with asthma and better blood sugar for people with diabetes are two other studies moving ahead thanks to ResearchKit. We’re thrilled that this data-driven research reinforces our message that you all can make a difference in your own health and in the health of the nation by paying attention to what you do and how it affects you.

BRIEF Canada drops visa ban for Liberia now that country has been declared Ebola free TORONTO — The Canadian government says it will again issue visas to people from Liberia, now that the West African country has been declared Ebola free. The World Health Organization announced Saturday that Liberia has gone 42 days without an Ebola infection, a milestone that signals the outbreak in that country is believed to be over. In late October, Canada made the controversial decision to close borders to people from Ebola-affected countries, saying it would not process visa applications from residents and nationals of countries with widespread and persistent or intense Ebola transmission. The policy did not impede the return of Canadian medical personnel or those working for international aid organizations who travelled to Ebola-affected countries to help combat the outbreak. The World Health Organization and experts in global health law criticized the Canadian decision, saying it violated the International Health Regulations, a treaty to which Canada is a signatory. That treaty stipulates that in a global public health emergency, countries shouldn’t take actions that impede international trade or travel beyond what the World Health Organization recommends. The WHO had urged countries not to restrict travel to and from the three West African countries at the heart of the outbreak. Canadian officials insisted that because the visa policy did not affect the travel of Canadians helping to contain the outbreak it was not a general ban and therefore did not violate the International Health Regulations.

quickly from seed. Check the moisture levels of flowerbeds and water as needed. Usually at this time of year, there has been enough rain or late snowfalls to soak the ground, but this year moisture has been patchy. Soaking dry beds will encourage plants to put on new growth. If winter protective mulch is still in place, remove it. Plants that are still covered with mulch will be lagging behind the ones that are free of mulch. Mulch acts as an insulator by keeping the soil warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. When protective mulch is left on too long in the spring, the plants underneath can become hot and mould. Spring is a great time to dig, split and move perennials. The plant’s root structure determines how to split a perennial. Perennials that grow in a compact circle are split by cutting the root ball in a number of pieces. Each piece must contain an eye or plant stock to produce new growth. Ground covers either creep along the top of the ground or spread by underground runners. Plants that creep

along the ground have shallow roots. Cutting a portion of the plant, including roots, off from the main plant is usually enough to start a new plant. Plants with rhizomes roots are very easy to split. All it takes is a piece of root with an eye or sprout heading upwards and a new plant is formed. Perennials only need to be split if part of the plant, usually the centre, dies or they become too large for their spot in the garden. When part of the plant dies, dig up the complete plant, remove all the dead sections and replant the living portions. If there are more plants than fit into the garden, share with friends, neighbours and local plant exchanges. When plants become too big, remove part of the plant to be replanted elsewhere. Spring is a busy time in the garden. Take care of the perennials now and the annuals when the weather warms. Linda Tomlinson is a horticulturalist who lives near Rocky Mountain House.

FINCH FEEDING TIME

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

A house finch takes a morning snack from a feeder in east Red Deer. According to allaboutbirds.org, house finches are small-bodied with fairly large beaks and somewhat long, flat heads. The wings are short, making the tail seem long by comparison. Adult males are rosy red around the face and upper breast, with streaky brown back, belly and tail. Adult females are plain greyish-brown with thick, blurry streaks and an indistinctly marked face. They are gregarious and collect at feeders or high perches. Their flight is bouncy. They frequent parks, backyards, urban centers, farms, and forest edges across the continent.

FORMER COLUMBINE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL DEDICATED TO PREVENTING SIMILAR TRAGIC EVENTS

‘We are all vulnerable’ BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF “Columbine High School is just a fantastic school. A lot of parental support. Ninety-three per cent graduation rate. Kids go on to college, about 88 per cent. It’s a place you expect great things to happen. “And then on April 20, 1999, my life changed forever. And if you had asked me could a Columbine happen in Columbine prior to the 20th, I would have said no, “And what I learned that day is we’re all vulnerable.” Frank DeAngelis, 60, is in Red Deer today making a presentation at the Campus Security Administrators Workshop Conference being hosted by Red Deer College. The recently retired principal of Columbine High School in Jefferson County, Colo., DeAngelis was there when two armed students walked in on April 20, 1999, and committed the deadliest high school shooting in the United States. They killed 13 people — 12 students and a teacher — and wounded 21 others, before killing themselves. DeAngelis is now a school safety consultant for the Jefferson School District, and also a speaker. The Columbine shootings were a difficult time for him because 13 people died on his watch, killed by two of his students, he said. “I made a promise to the 13, and all the kids who were injured and all the people that were deeply impacted, that there was nothing I could do to bring back those 13 or change the events of that day. But I would continue to go out and speak and be proactive in hopefully preventing other situations occurring as a result of Columbine.” DeAngelis said his lifelong Catholic faith and counselling helped him get through the tragedy. “On that horrific day I should have died. I ran right into the gunfire and for whatever reason my life was spared. And I was able to save myself and about 30 girls that were right in the midst of the gunfire. ... I was struggling because of survivor’s guilt but where that magni-

Patio season has arrived earlier than usual in Red Deer. Typically, city crews wait until after the May long weekend to install the eight patio tables on Ross Street between 49th Avenue and Little Gaetz. But the nice weather has spurred the city to move up its schedule. Crews will begin installing the Ross Street Patio at 4:30 a.m. today and finish on Friday. Traffic will be reduced to one lane on Ross Street west of 49th Avenue while the work is done and the barriers are up. Motorists can expect delays and are asked to use alternate routes. This is the first season that the award-winning patio is a permanent summer fixture in the downtown. The city allocated $80,000, $25,000 less than in previous years, for limited programming and to install and take down the tables, in January. Charity Dyke, the city’s Riverlands project manager, said knowing the patio would be back every summer will allow the city and community groups to plan for the future. It has been debated by city council every year since it was first tested as a pilot in 2012. The hope is more community groups will program their own events in the space. “That’s really important to us,” said Dyke. “We really want the community to own it.” Dyke said the Downtown Business Association is looking to host additional events and musicians have asked to play on an informal basis. But the city will continue to support First Fridays with a concert each month. As well, some musicians perform during the week but the events are expected to be mostly organized by community groups. The official opening on June 5 will feature Randi Boulton between noon and 1 p.m. and St. Groove between 4 and 6 p.m. “It’s really just the opportunity for the people to come downtown during the lunch hour and into the afternoon,” said Dyke. On a couple of occasions, there have been attempts by councillors to keep the patio up all year. This year the city will conduct a feasibly study to determine if a winter patio is something that downtown business owners and the public want to see. The eight patio tables will temporarily eliminate 17 parking stalls and one partial lane of traffic. The International Downtown Association tipped its hat to the City of Red Deer, awarding it a Downtown Merit Award for its use of public space with the Ross Street Patio in 2012. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

You’re not going to travel this journey alone. You’ll have your spiritual guidance and you’ll have the support of this community but this is what you need to do.’ ” “My mom worked for a doctor and

he was a Vietnam veteran, and he said, ‘Frank if you don’t help yourself you can’t help anyone else.’ So I got into counselling immediately.” DeAngelis stayed on the job for 15 more years, retiring in 2014. “I felt when I walked out of that door last year that I had fulfilled that promise I had made.” He has been called upon when school shootings occur elsewhere in the U.S., to offer advice and support. Now he’s getting more involved in the proactive side, working with new principals and staff when they do various drills and training in the States. “I am so impressed with Canada in what they’re doing. ... You have school people coming together with law enforcement people, along with firefighters, along with mental health workers, and they’re all coming together to hear information that is basically to protect our kids.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

The Alberta Court of Appeal will speak to the case of a financial advisor who was convicted in the bombing death of a young quadriplegic woman in Innisfail in 2011. The court will speak to the appeal application of Brian Malley on Sept. 15 in Calgary. Malley, 57, was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of Victoria Shachtay at her Innisfail home after a five-week trial in February. A jury of eight women and four men delivered a guilty verdict, which carries an automatic sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. The Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench also sentenced Malley to two years each, to be served concurrently, for charges of causing an explosion and sending an explosive. Shachtay was killed instantly when she triggered a pipe bomb disguised as a Christmas present that was left on her doorstep on Nov. 25, 2011. Shachtay was partially disabled from injuries suffered years earlier in a car crash. Malley was the single mother’s financial advisor.

‘I WASN’T ABLE TO TICK OFF ALL THE SPECIES ON MY BUCKET LIST THIS TRIP, BUT IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF THRILLING TO BE ABLE TO SEE AND PHOTOGRAPH THE SPECIES WE DID ENCOUNTER.’

A weekend in the wilds of Wyoming A friend and I had the good fortune to spend a few days in Wyoming in mid-April. With several wildlife species on my photo bucket list, I was delighted when a fellow photographer invited us to ramble around with him in his big backyard near Douglas, Wyo. And a big backyard it is! The state tourism tagline claims that the Wyoming is “forever west,” a very apt depiction of a region heavily steeped in cowboy history and with a landscape rich in ecoMYRNA logical diversity. For me, the appeal of WyPEARMAN oming is that its fauna are similar to those found in the southern Alberta grasslands. Unfortunately, many of “our” grassland species are on the verge of extirpation; it

will be only a matter of time before the ravages of Monsanto agriculture and the greedy pillage of the oil industry will have silenced the booming of our sage grouse, the scream of the ferruginous hawk and the soft chatter of the once widespread burrowing owl. Shame on us. I wasn’t able to tick off all the species on my bucket list this trip, but it was nothing short of thrilling to be able to see and photograph the species we did encounter. For anyone interested in photographing Wyoming wildlife, I highly recommend our guide, Ron Hayes, He is a talented, well-connected and well-respected local photographer (http://www.westernwildlifeimages.com). Most of the world’s pronghorns are found within a 200-km radius of Cheyenne, Wyo. In Alberta, they are common in the south and east of the province, occasionally seen as far west as the Stettler area. Who in Central Alberta isn’t thrilled to hear the quintessential prairie song of the meadowlark? Wyoming is literally teeming with these beautiful songsters. The greater sage grouse is one of Canada’s most

endangered species, with a population down to less than 100 birds (down from an estimated 777 in 1996). Fewer than 15 males are now found in Alberta. Although greater sage grouse are not yet considered to be endangered in Wyoming, the population there is also declining precipitously. One of the earliest migrants to arrive back in Central Alberta is the horned lark, usually seen as it flits away from snowy roads in mid-February. We were lucky to get a close-up view one cold morning of this male in full breeding plumage, singing his heart out. Great horned owls are found throughout North America. In Wyoming, they often take up residence in rocky cliffs. Speaking of owls—be sure to check out Ellie and Albert at Ellis Bird Farm. Their two young, Wilma and Windy, are growing rapidly! Ellis Bird Farm opens this season on May 18th. Visit www.ellisbirdfarm.ca for details! Myrna Pearman is the biologist/site services manager at Ellis Bird Farm.

The benefit of the doubt “Spring time in Alberta “Chills me to the bone” — Ian Tyson

whom, historically, have come from rural Alberta. Another comment from Wild Rose Country: “So, yup, with all the crazy socialist, non-working candidates who are her MLAs, this has got all of us country folk pretty worried! … I was thinking those ‘Welfare Cowboys’ as you call them, out in Special Areas are probably a little worried about losing those lease surface disturbance payments now.” Yes, how could I forget? The NDP should take a long, hard look at the Welfare Cowboys out there in Wild Rose Country who so proudly believe in socialism for already rich ranchers, and free enterprise for the undeserving rest of us. A priority for the new ESRD minister must be rebuilding a department that has cynically been gutted to make it easier for big energy to do as it pleases with Alberta public land. One of Premier Alison Redford’s more egregious moves was to wipe out the century-old Fish and Wildlife Division. The new ESRD minister should have a chat with Allan Warrack, youngest and also the best minister of Lands and Forests (as ESRD once was) we’ve ever had, in Lougheed’s new 1971 cabinet, then set about rebuilding the F and W Division with a mandate to stop the near extinctions of so much of our native fish, fauna, and flora.

Alberta’s long siege of political chronic wasting disease, 30 years of bad Progressive Conservative government that conserved nothing after Peter the Great abdicated in 1985, ended spectacularly on May 5. I’ve often said that Albertans don’t know the difference between scratching their arse and tearing it to shreds; this time a majority NDP government is the result. But, even more amazing, we also uncharacteristically decided for democracy, by electing a numerically strong, BOB largely right-wing opposition, SCAMMELL with many more members experienced and qualified for their important job, than the rookie NDP caucus can claim for theirs. The campaign moment that still haunts me from Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS the instant I heard it was Premier Jim Prentice telling us we should look in the mirror to see the cause Former Alberta premier Jim Prentice and premierof the mess Alberta’s in. Bob Scammell is an award-winning columnist who designate Rachel Notley leave a meeting in A talented clinical psychologist once told me that lives in Red Deer. He can be reached at bscam@telusEdmonton on Tuesday. a sure symptom of depression is not recognizing planet.net. yourself in the mirror. Suddenly, depressed Albertans were seeing PCs past, maybe even Prentice in their mirrors, and instantly recognized this: we do keep electing these clowns, and we have to stop. Even though, as in every Alberta election of my life, I lost my vote because I tend to select the most credible candidate in terms of education, experience and accomplishments, I am delighted with change at last in my lifetime, and respect the decision of the 58.25 per cent of Alberta’s eligible voters who cast ballots, the highest since the 60.2 per cent in 1993, when the Liberals won 32 seats. “Rachel,” favoured PLUS: YOUR FIRST one of biblical patriTWO BI-WEEKLY arch Jacob’s two wives, PAYMENTS ON US* described as “beautiful in form and counteLEASE BI-WEEKLY, THAT’S LIKE: nance,” means “ewe.” Talk with them and listen, yes, but our Rachel @ FOR of Edmonton Strathcona should eschew any more of the ewe-like behaviour MONTHS WEEKLY evidenced by her early WITH $995 DOWN.

Train derailment kills 7 in Philadelphia INVESTIGATORS SAY TRAIN IN PHILADELPHIA WRECK WAS SPEEDING OVER 100 MPH BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA â€” The Amtrak train that crashed in Philadelphia, killing at least seven people, was hurtling at 106 mph before it ran off the rails along a sharp curve where the speed limit is just 50 mph, federal investigators said Wednesday. The engineer at the controls applied the emergency brakes moments before the deadly crash but managed to slow the train to only 102 mph when the locomotiveâ€™s black box stopped recording data, said Robert Sumwalt of the National Transportation Safety Board. The speed limit just ahead of the bend is 80 mph, he said. The engineer, who name was not released, refused to give a statement to law enforcement Wednesday and left a police precinct with a lawyer. Sumwalt said federal accident investigators hope to interview him but will give him a day or two to recover from the â€œtraumatic event.â€? â€œOur mission is to find out not only what happened but why it happened, so that we can prevent it from happening again,â€? Sumwalt said. More than 200 people aboard the Washington-toNew York train were injured in the wreck, which took place in a decayed industrial neighbourhood not far from the Delaware River shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday. It was the nationâ€™s deadliest train accident in nearly seven years. â€œWe are heartbroken by what has happened here,â€? Mayor Michael Nutter said. Amtrak suspended all service until further notice along the Philadelphia-to-New York stretch of the nationâ€™s busiest rail corridor â€” forcing thousands of travellers to find some other way to reach their destination â€” as investigators examined the wreckage and the tracks and gathered up other evidence. The dead included an AP employee and a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy. Many of the injured suffered from broken bones

Emergency personnel work at the scene of a deadly train wreck, Wednesday, in Philadelphia. More than 200 people aboard the Washington-to-New York train were injured in the derailment that plunged screaming passengers into darkness and chaos Tuesday night. or burns. At least 10 remained hospitalized in critical condition. Nutter said some people remained unaccounted for, though he cautioned that some passengers listed on the Amtrak manifest might not have boarded the train, while others might not have checked in with

authorities. â€œWe will not cease our efforts until we go through every vehicle,â€? the mayor said in the afternoon. He said rescuers expanded the search area and used dogs to look for victims in case someone was thrown from the wreckage.

Fire razes factory in Philippine capital DOZENS OF WORKERS FEARED DEAD BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MANILA, Philippines â€” A fire gutted a rubber slipper factory in a suburb of the Philippine capital Wednesday, possibly killing dozens of workers who ran to the second floor in hopes of escaping only to become trapped by the inferno, officials said. At least three bodies have been recovered and fire officials found no survivors after the fire was put under control, said Mayor Rex Gatchalian of Valenzuela city, north of Manila. Relatives reported 65 people missing, and Gatchalian said only seven people managed to escape the fire. There could be others who are listed as missing but were able to escape, he said. District Fire Marshal Wilberto Rico Neil Kwan Tiu said he was among the first to reach the second floor of the gutted building after the fire and saw â€œnumerous bodies,â€? many charred beyond recognition. Radio reports quoted relatives as saying their kin sent text messages saying they were on the second floor, but contact was lost shortly after. Gatchalian said the fire apparently was ignited by sparks from welding works at the factoryâ€™s main entrance door, triggering an explosion of the chemicals used to make the slippers. Workers fled to the second floor where they were

trapped, he said. It was unsure if there were any fire escapes there as an investigation was ongoing. He said some of those who escaped exited through back doors. â€œBy the time they realized that they could pass through the main door, the flames were already engulfing the front area,â€? he said, adding that they thought the second floor was the safer ground. Tiu, the fire marshal, said the building had exits but apparently the workers were overwhelmed by the thick black smoke from the burning rubber and chemicals, which are highly flammable and caused the blaze to spread quickly. Addressing a crowd outside the factory compound, Gatchalian appealed to families of the missing to try to reach the workers in homes of other relatives. â€œThere might still be a chanceâ€? that they had survived, he said. â€œI was talking to the bureau of fire protection and they said no one in the building survived,â€? he said, speaking through a public address system. His statement was followed by howls of grief and weeping. The fire was put under control more than five hours after it started, but there were still flames burning and the place was dangerous by Wednesday evening, Gathalian said. Gatchalian said one of the bodies recovered was the niece of the factory owner, â€œwho was in a state of shock.â€?

BUJUMBURA, Burundi â€” Burundiâ€™s capital was quiet Wednesday night but it was not clear who was in charge after a tumultuous day in which thousands of people celebrated an attempted coup against President Pierre Nkurunziza. The military is divided between those supporting Nkurunziza and those backing the coup, said a senior military official who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. The two sides of the military were holding negotiations Wednesday night to determine the way forward, he said. The attempted coup took place while Nkurunziza was in neighbouring Tanzania for a summit on his Ends Mayy 31,2015 countryâ€™s troubles.

Groups call for suspension of application ENERGY EAST PIPELINE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — More than 60 organizations are calling on the National Energy Board to suspend TransCanada’s application for the Energy East Pipeline. Groups including Greenpeace Canada, the Council of Canadians and the David Suzuki Foundation said in a letter to the federal pipeline regulator that it should suspend the review process while waiting for new information from the company. TransCanada Corp. (TSX:TRP) is due to update its application for the pipeline in the last quarter of this year with a new location for a proposed marine terminal in Quebec. But the groups say the regulator should overhaul the review process entirely and restart its evaluation of the Energy East project from the beginning once TransCanada submits the new information. The groups accuse the board of ignoring public input expressed in more than 100,000 letters, overlook-

ing First Nations concerns and shutting out those worried about climate change, calling the consultation process a “fiasco.” The $12-billion Energy East project would ship 1.1 million barrels of crude a day from the Alberta oilsands to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick through 4,600 kilometres of pipeline. Katherine Murphy, a spokeswoman with the board, said in an email that public participation is a key part of the review process and it aims to hear from those “directly affected” by the project. Public hearings can’t be scheduled until TransCanada finds a new marine terminal and completes its application, she said. Murphy said climate change is an important issue but has a limited role in the board’s review process. “Any greenhouse gas emissions that would emit directly from the construction and operation of a pipeline are assessed by the NEB in its project assessment,” she said, adding that broader regulation of greenhouse gases is the responsibility of other agencies. “The NEB does not regulate the emissions resulting from the public’s demand for and consumption of

energy.” TransCanada is searching for a new location for a planned Cacouna, Que. marine terminal, intended to include storage tanks and a marine port for loading oil onto tanker ships. That plan was scrapped last fall following a Quebec Superior Court injunction against seismic work at the site meant to protect nearby beluga whale calving grounds. In April, TransCanada cited the search for a new site as one reason for delaying the completion of Energy East by two years to 2020. In a letter to TransCanada a week ago, the board said it can’t deem the regulatory application for Energy East complete until its change of plans is entered into the record and assessed. It asked TransCanada to submit that information no later than next Wednesday. The pipeline has faced opposition, with activists citing concerns that oil spills could affect water quality and the development could facilitate expansion of the oilsands. But TransCanada and other proponents of the project say it would be safer than rail and roads when transporting large oil shipments.

SUGAR BEET GROWERS REACH CONTRACT WITH LANTIC BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TABER,— The Alberta Sugar Beet Growers marketing board has reached a new four-year agreement with sugar company Lantic Inc. Montreal-based Lantic had threatened to wind down operations at its plant in Taber, Alta., the only sugar-beet processing plant in Canada, if a deal couldn’t be reached. Lantic, a subsidiary of Rogers Sugar Inc. (TSX:RSI), said its production target is 80,000 tonnes of refined sugar this year. “We are very pleased to have a long-term agreement. We think it will bring stability to the industry and to the town of Taber and Alberta,” Lantic vicepresident Manon Lacroix said Wednesday. “A total of approximately 22,000 acres will be targeted for planting over the next few days.” About 200 sugar beet growers in the region were waiting for the deal before seeding their fields. The Alberta Sugar Beet Growers said it is pleased with the agreement. It said the delay in reaching a deal should not affect the crop this year. “It is expected that the seeding delay will not affect the crop yields and production volumes will be consistent with last year’s production,” the group said in a release. Farmers in southern Alberta grow the vast majority of Canada’s sugar beets, while Ontario producers ship their crop to the U.S. for processing. Lantic’s factory in Taber employs up to 250 fulland part-time workers. The company’s website says it can produce up to 150,000 tonnes of sugar a year. Lantic also operates factories in Montreal and Vancouver that process imported raw sugarcane. The previous three-year agreement with Alberta sugar beet growers expired at the end of last year. Financial details of the new deal were not released Wednesday.

Cineplex places bets on growing gamer community

BRIEF Penn West sets out survival plan in face of money woes and legal battles

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Step aside Hollywood because this year Cineplex is placing its bets on Canada’s burgeoning video game community. After years of dabbling in various small gaming events, the Toronto-based movie exhibitor wants to show gamers it’s ready to invest in their obsession. This summer, Cineplex will hold a series of gaming-themed screenings it hopes will eventually lead to hosting local video game competitions at its own theatres. The move comes as the company focuses on building a sustainable business that doesn’t solely rely on the volatile profits of the movie industry, which thrives on the latest blockbuster and stumbles on the flops. Enthusiastic gamers could offer the company a reliable way of drawing crowds any time of year. Multi-player video game tournaments, also known as Esports, have become a global sensation that attracts thousands of spectators to live events held at arenas and other venues around the world. Fans cheer on players who compete head-to-head in popular games like “Counter-Strike: GO” and “Call of Duty” as their every move is projected on giant screens. The winners can go home with thousands of dollars in cash prizes. Cineplex chief executive Ellis Jacob said Wednesday that he wants to tap into that energy within the Canadian gaming community this year. “There’s a lot of vitality,” he said at the company’s annual meeting. In July, Cineplex (TSX:CGX) will gauge the national interest of gamers with an event screening of the documentary, “All Work All Play: The Pursuit of Esports Glory” at 85 theatres across much of the country. The movie will be followed by a casual Esports competition between audience members inside the theatres. Cineplex hopes the documentary will trigger interest from a hungry gaming community that has faced a lack of public spaces to hold competitions in many parts of the country. In August, Cineplex also plans to host a live screening of the ESL One Cologne 2015 gaming tournament from Cologne, Germany. Video games aren’t an entirely new area of business for Cineplex. The company first put gamers on its radar in 2008 when it began renting out downtime at theatres to Xbox 360 players who wanted to com-

CALGARY — Beleaguered light-oil producer Penn West Petroleum Ltd. set out a survival plan at the company’s annual general meeting Wednesday as the company works to move past lawsuits and debt. Company president and CEO David Roberts told shareholders Penn West will be focusing on improving the performance at its Cardium oil development in Alberta and its Viking oilfield in Saskatchewan, while other assets are up for sale. Penn West has slashed capital spending for the year by $215 million to $625 million. Despite cost-cutting efforts, losses for the company last quarter totalled $248 million or 49 cents a share, close to three times higher than losses of $89 million or 18 cents a share in the first quarter of 2014. Besides its financial troubles, Penn West is facing six lawsuits in Canada and one in the United States related to flawed accounting practices the company disclosed last year. Roberts said the company plans to fight the lawsuits “with vigour”, adding that the account problems have since been resolved. Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

In 2013, a Cineplex theatre in Toronto hosted a tournament to promote “EA Sports NHL14” on PlayStation 3 before the game was released in stores. Theatrical exhibitors have struggled in recent years to convince younger people — in particular teenage boys and young men — to buy movie tickets, as a slate of blockbusters compete against video game consoles and entertainment alternatives like YouTube and Netflix. Esport competitions have proven to be one of the few sure bets, as the gaming business grows in leaps and bounds. Video game research firm Newzoo expects that gaming “enthusiasts” will surge from an estimated 89 million in 2013 to as many as 145 million by 2017, while revenues for the gaming industry are projected to climb as high as $465 million in 2017.

Shell exploration plans in Alaska stoking concern, hope in Canada CALGARY — Royal Dutch Shell’s plans to explore for oil off Alaska’s northwestern coast are being closely watched in Canada with a mixture of hope and concern. Earlier this week, the energy giant cleared a major hurdle when the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management approved a multi-year exploration plan in the Chukchi Sea, though it still needs to obtain other federal and state permits. Shell isn’t active in the Canadian Arctic these days, but both proponents and critics say the U.S. decision has implications for Canada. “It’s a good signal from where we sit,” said David Ramsay, the Northwest Territories minister in charge of resource development. “The resource in the Beaufort could rival the Gulf of Mexico. We want to ensure it’s done right and I think that’s why folks are watching this closely.” Ramsay said he was encouraged by the way in which Shell has been partnering with indigenousrun businesses in Alaska, and imagines it would work much the same way in his territory. Doug Matthews, an energy consultant who works in the North, said a past effort by Shell to drill in the Arctic does not inspire confidence.

The S&P/TSX composite closed down 62.43 points at 14,980.72, after falling almost 127 points the two previous sessions, including more than 109 points on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the loonie ticked higher as the retail sales report contributed to recent weakness in the U.S. dollar, rising 0.35 of a U.S. cent to 83.56 cents — the higher range of where it has traded since mid-April. However, its a range that the BMO’s Paul Taylor says will be difficult to maintain, particularly if the recent strengthening in oil prices above $60 a barrel is the “dead cat bounce” that many expect. The loonie could fall to US$0.75 by next March should oil prices retreat as expected even from their current depressed levels, said Taylor, chief investment officer, asset allocation, BMO Global Asset Management Canada. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average finished 7.74 points lower at 18,060.49, adding to losses of almost 123 points the previous two days. The S&P 500 edged 0.64 of a point lower to 2,098.48, while the Nasdaq gained 5.50 points to 4,981.69. Commodities were also mixed, with the June gold contract rising $25.80 to US$1,218.20 an ounce in the face of the weaker U.S. currency as well as a flight to safety as a deal between Greece and its creditors remains elusive and

June oil fell 25 cents to US$60.50 a barrel. In economic news, the Commerce Department reported that U.S. retail sales were unchanged in April after rising 1.1 per cent in March and below analyst estimates. The figures also challenged assumptions that the harsh winter weather has been to blame and that a spring rebound in retail spending was certain to materialize. “Instead of cheering bad news as had happened in the past, traders have started to react negatively on bad news with the impact of data on corporate earnings becoming more important than its impact on liquidity,” Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Canada, said in a commentary. Meanwhile, Taylor said he remains relatively optimistic about the U.S. market, expecting it to produce returns of six to as much as eight per cent this year and easily outperform the TSX as lower oil prices negatively impact Canadian corporate earnings.

shippers must avoid marine mammals. Environmental groups call the news a big step forward in protecting an increasingly ice-free Arctic. But Kevin Harun (HEHR’-uhn) of Pacific Environment, a group helping to draft the new rules, says big gaps remain. He says the maritime organization hasn’t dealt with hazards posed by heavy fuel oil or climate-change impacts of black carbon spewed by ships.

The hipster-clothing icon said Wednesday that Charney’s claims are without merit and the company will “vigorously dispute” them. Key to Charney’s allegations is a letter that American Apparel chair Colleen Brown issued to employees last month, according to the lawsuit. The suit claims that the letter makes a number of false, exaggerated or inaccurate statements that damage Charney’s reputation, both personally and professionally, and seeks at least

US$10 million in compensation. The lawsuit contains allegations that have not been proven in court. Charney has been the subject of lawsuits alleging he had inappropriate sexual conduct with female employees. Some cases remain pending, others were dismissed or remanded to private arbitration. Charney has maintained his innocence in all of the lawsuits, telling CNBC in 2012 that “allegations that I acted improperly at any time are completely a fiction.”

American Apparel is facing a defamation lawsuit filed by Dov Charney, a Montreal-born entrepreneur who founded the retail chain and helmed it until he was fired last year amid sexual misconduct allegations.

A slice of bourgeois TYING UP A FEW LOOSE ENDS AS MAD MEN NEARS THE END OF ITS RUN BY FRAZIER MOORE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This image released by AMC shows, from left, John Slattery as Roger Sterling, Jon Hamm as Don Draper, Vincent Kartheiser as Pete Campbell, Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris and Kevin Rahm as Ted Chaough, in a scene from the final season of ‘Mad Men.’ The series finale airs on Sunday. funny Mad Men was. The reigning mood of the series was sombre. Meditative. Storytelling often with a lump in its throat. But leavening the heaviness was a generous helping of sight gags, droll exchanges and tragicomic story twists (two words: lawnmower amputation). All by itself, the gin-soaked silver tongue of Roger Sterling (as played by John Slattery) was always good for a laugh. Weiner says he and his fellow writers were committed to infusing their scripts with things “that would make US laugh, and that would not make that world too solemn.” Humour can be mined from nothing more than a surprise, “making people laugh at a moment of tension,” he notes. “The audience deserves that. That should be a part of the story we share with them. And it makes the drama more dramatic.” Weiner can reel off one funny example after another, but there’s none more virtuosic than, in Season Five, Lane Pryce’s thwarted suicide. As the agency’s disgraced financial officer, Lane (Jared Harris) made a desperate effort to asphyxiate him-

about memory and the feeling you get from recognizing them.” And, while the show maintained a lovely period sheen, what was on display was rarely fetishized or top-ofthe-line, Weiner says. It was the routine stuff. “The philosophy of the show was to reflect everyday life from another time — a slice of bourgeois, mostly white America,” he says. What were curated as props (whether bought, rented or borrowed) were the mass-produced consumables that people commonly owned: “Not the zebra, just the horse.” This could pay off powerfully for the audience. Consider an office scene in Season Four, Episode 5: Don pours sake for himself and his potential new conquest into a certain pair of tumblers with gold rims and aqua stripes — identical glassware from 50 years ago that at least one viewer instantly recalled drinking milk from in his family’s kitchen as a child. That depth of connection lives on thanks to so many moments Mad Men viewers will be left with after Sunday, when it leaves its audience behind. Frazier Moore is a national television columnist for The Associated Press.

self inside his brand-new Jaguar. After tricking out a rubber hose from the car’s exhaust pipe, he planted himself in the driver’s seat and turned the key. But at the moment of truth, this luxury machine (already characterized in prior scenes as finicky and even “a lemon”) made good on its image. It refused to start. “It’s black humour,” says Weiner, “but it also helps the story so much, because that failure gives Lane’s suicide attempt comic release. And when he actually did pass away (by hanging himself in his office) you felt it, so much more painfully.” ● Beyond the action, music and words, Mad Men could trigger a reaction in static ways — even from a glimpse of a long-forgotten object with which the viewer may have once been connected in real life. With its period look evolving through the ’60s, the series offered viewers an almost tactile experience thanks to its props and art direction. Mad Men didn’t draw on the past as much as reclaim it. Products and brands (the stuff of advertising, after all) was its onscreen currency. “It was a story about objects being a part of our lives,” says Weiner, “and

NEW YORK — Mad Men is nearing its end with grace and assurance as its characters already are scattering from view. After seven seasons barnstorming a long-ago decade, the series feels like it’s coming in for a landing, though just how smooth or rocky won’t be known for sure until touchdown. Even so, already there’s plenty to say in eulogizing this glorious drama, which monitored a swath of modern American life through the prism of the 1960s New York advertising business, led by the prismatic, enigmatic ad man Don Draper, played, of course, by series star Jon Hamm. Except what hasn’t already been said (and re-said) about Mad Men, which, in the hands of series creator Matthew Weiner, charted its own path, defying expectations while propelled by a peerless company of actors? ● Well, for starters, there’s that clarinet. Pinpoint the most affecting moments in Mad Men, and you’re likely to find a plaintive clarinet (or fellow woodwind) reinforcing the scene’s poignancy. “A mournful, lonely boy sound,” says series composer David Carbonara, whose contributions have reliably underscored, so to speak, what was taking place onscreen without drawing attention to themselves or telegraphing an intended response. “I’m that kind of composer. I don’t showboat.” And unlike so much of TV, where so-called “background” music blankets the action, Carbonara was sparing with his music cues, whether a clarinet or more full-bodied interludes: “On Mad Men, I tend to come in late and leave early,” he says with a laugh. Related duties have included producing song tracks, such as agency boss Bert Cooper’s rousing number, The Best Things in Life Are Free. “When I worked with Robert Morse on that,” Carbonara recalls, “he was like, ‘What do you do on the show?’ He knew me from producing songs, not writing the score. ‘I compose the music on Mad Men,’ I told him. And he says, ’There’s music on Mad Men?!’” Such are the subtleties of Carbonara’s work. ● A not-so-subtle component that nonetheless is often overlooked: How
