did all the sewing herself in her Penhold basement, with relatives helping her husband with their two pre-school sons. Some 40 of her made-in-CentralAlberta dresses, gowns, masks, headpieces and fairy wing accessories were eventually sent to New York. And many of these eye-catching silk and chiffon gowns appeared in fashion photo spreads in the arty publications PopImpressKA Journal and Entrigue Magazine, as well as the Fashion Plus blog. Pedersen described her Spread Your Wings pop-up fashion show, held on April 11 at the Poet’s Den Gallery (and opened by a collection from East Harlem designer Erica Jackson) as being a spectacle, similar to a Victoria’s Secret runway show. It can be viewed at www.vimeo.com/125108262.
One dog is dead after a suspected poisoning in a Red Deer neighbourhood. Tests are underway to determine whether two dogs consumed chicken laced with strychnine. The chemical is typically used to exterminate gophers. “We suspected poisoning of some sort,” said Dagmar Schouten, a veterinarian with Cedarwood Veterinary Hospital. “During the stomach pumping, raw chicken was removed. The owner knew she did not give the chicken to her dog.” The Kentwood-area owner brought one of her two dogs to a local clinic before the animal was rushed to the hospital last Friday. The dog was having seizures in her backyard. Schouten said the hospital was concerned about what was in the backyard so the owner went home to check her yards and she found her other dog in bad shape. “The bigger dog (a Labrador-Shepherd-cross) did OK but the smaller dog (a Maltese-Yorkie) passed away the next day,” she said. The stomach contents of the two dogs are being tested at a lab. “There is suspicion out in media that it is strychnine, which we have seen here before,” said Schouten. “It looks quite similar as far as onset seizures and high death rates. But we currently do not have any results from the stomach contents back yet.” They should be back in a week. Schouten said she does not know if the incident was a targeted, malicious act. But she called the incident disconcerting.

Penhold designer Beth Anne Pedersen’s fantasy gowns were featured at a New York fashion show. BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Penhold designer Beth Anne Pedersen’s fantasy gowns were spotlighted on a New York catwalk and in magazines all because she called the wrong number. “It was very surprising to have such a huge opportunity fall into my lap,” said the founder of Fantasy Elite Designs, who got her big break by mistake. Pedersen called what she thought was a Red Deer modelling agency to try to arrange a local fashion shoot. But she actually ended up talking to the owner of Deja Vu Models in New York City, since the Red Deer franchise was no longer in business. In a case of serendipity, the CEO of New York’s Deja Vu Models, Deborah Cardona, was looking for a new design-
er to feature in a pop-up fashion show on April 11. After seeing Pedersen’s dramatic, fantasy-inspired line of couture and ready-to-wear gowns online, Cardona was hugely impressed. She told the local designer she liked their “sexy flowy, whimsical feel.” Cardona first asked Pedersen, who trained in costume and fashion design at both Red Deer College and Olds College, to send a few items to be spotlighted in a fashion shoot for some New York magazines. She then asked if she could come up with enough pieces to be featured at the New York City fashion show. Pedersen was so shocked and thrilled that she accepted Cardona’s offer — after verifying her credentials online — without thinking about how much work would be involved. It turned out to be a lot of work, recalled the 28-year-old. “I honestly don’t know how I did it,” said Pedersen, who

in Red Deer’s Sunnybrook neighbourhood, said funds raised will help a special school and a small remote village in Nepal. For McCall, a Red Deer physician, the desire to help is deeply personal. She and her husband, Pliny Hayes, a Red Deer College biology instructor, adopted Nina, their now 16-year-old daughter, in Nepal when she was four. And their 20-year-old foster son, Urgen Dorje Lama, is also from Nepal. On April 25, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit Nepal, killing and injuring thousands of people. Then another quake, this time a magnitude 7.3, killed and injured more. There are now daily aftershocks. The death toll is about 8,600 and almost 18,000 people have been injured.

POISON: Warning pet owners to be more careful In April 2011, 13 dogs were poisoned in Mirror, about 40 km east of Lacombe, after consuming meat laced with strychnine. “Several of those dogs came in here,” said Schouten. “I haven’t had any exposure since that Mirror case.” Police have not had any confirmed cases of pet poisoning in Red Deer as of January. But Schouten is warning pet owners to be more careful. “Check your yards and do not leave your dogs unattended in your yards,” she said. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
FASHION: Helped get her name out there “It really helped with getting my name out there and with branding,” said the local designer, who is keen to return to New York to show her collections again during Fashion Week in September. Cardona has invited her to be part of an eight-designer runway show at the Empire Hotel. It’s an exciting opportunity that she believes could take her to the brink of international success — but also a costly endeavour. Pedersen estimates the fabric and shipping costs for the show could push $12,000. She has started a crowd funding campaign to help her get there. Anyone interested in contributing, or finding out more, can go to www.gofundme,com/ tx2y8s. Pedersen, who grew up in Lacombe and Red Deer, admitted she never thought she would be at this point so early in her career. “Goodness no. I thought maybe in 10 years I would make that kind of connection.” With other fashion shows planned in Calgary and Edmonton (the Fashion Against Cancer show on June 12), she’s thrilled that people near and far “believe in my work,” and are helping her achieve an international fashion career. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

for except give them lots of love and support cause they had serious health issues. A couple of the kids died.” It was at the school that McCall and Hayes became very close to a number of the children. “One little boy, whose parents were so far away they could only come up once a year to see him ... grew up to be a star student in the school.” He is now their foster son. Urgen Dorje Lama came from the remote village of Lho and ended up finishing first in the country’s end-of-school exams. They brought Urgen to Canada. Another family brought another boy from Nepal. The two finished Grade 11 and 12 at Lindsey Thurber Comprehensive High School. Urgen did so well at Lindsay Thurber that he received a full scholarship to York University in Toronto. He’s studying science and has just finished his first year. He’s back in Red Deer for the summer, helping with the garage sale. His village of Lho was in the epicentre of the first big quake, in the region of Gorkha. The village has seen very little relief because it’s so remote. While only two people from the community died, every home has been destroyed and their food is buried under the rubble. McCall said half the money from the garage sale will go to help Shree Mangal Dvip School and the other half will go to help Lho. At the school, which normally has 400 students, there remain 170 children who are unable to go home because trails and bridges have been destroyed, or their families have no food or place to stay. The children are sleeping under tarps and in tents. The walls on the school have large cracks. In Lho, Urgen’s parents, brother and sister survived but they won’t have enough time to properly rebuild before the rain starts. Part of the problem in Nepal is that there are “all the aid agencies with piles of stuff but they can’t get the stuff out,” McCall said. Helicopters that cost $1,000 an hour before the disaster are now $3,000 to $4,000, she said. The Nepali government has turned down offers of heavy-load carrying helicopters from other countries for unknown reasons. Through connections, the couple hopes to be able to get help to Lho. “The reality is if we’re going to get things to the village before the heavy rains start, we have to do it soon and we’re going to have to do it on our own,” said McCall, a 27-year resident of Red Deer. So on Sunday, McCall and others will be working at trying to make the world a better place. Several driveways on Savoy Crescent will be full of garage sale items from noon to 4 p.m., with all proceeds going to help Nepal. People can also come and just make a cash donation. There will be a few silent auction items and McCall’s daughter, Nina, and her friends will be doing face-painting. As for the items themselves, they will have no prices on them. “Our line is everything is free. How much do you want to donate?” McCall said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

We’re so pleased and so touched that so many of our friends and neighbours and teammates and school friends are all pitching in to help with this. “I know so many people that have already given money to coalitions and various organizations in Nepal but these are the two places that are nearest and dearest to our hearts and we know the money will go directly to the school with no middlemen and no overhead, and we know we can get things to the village, with again very little to no cost, except for the cost of actually getting things there,” McCall said on Wednesday. She’s talking about the residential school, Shree Mangal Dvip, in Nepal’s capital city of Kathmandu, and the village of Lho where her foster son is from. McCall and her husband lived in Nepal from 2001 to 2003. She went there for a University of Calgary health and development project, funded through the Canadian International Development Agency. Besides being a doctor, McCall has a master’s degree in public health. Her role in a small western Nepal town was to wind down a years-long project and analyze the data. She took a two-year leave from her Red Deer practice at the Associate Medical Clinic and she ended up there during the Nepal civil war. The tiny airport was bombed and snipers were “picking off people” on the only road in and out of the valley to the town. There were death threats levelled at others by guerrillas soldiers. “It got to be so bad, we had to end the project after a year,” McCall said. So she and her husband moved to Kathmandu, where she worked with government aid agencies trying to improve maternal health at the village level. She helped develop training programs to better care for women who had pregnancy-related health problems. At the same time, her husband studied in a Buddhist monastery. Hayes helped the monastery develop documents needed to solidify a program for an undergraduate degree in Buddhist studies. Students from the program have since gone on to graduate work at such universities as Harvard, Berkeley and Oxford. It was while they were in Kathmandu that the couple began the long process of adopting Nina. And McCall would help run a clinic once a week at Shree Mangal Dvip School, which educates and houses school children from the most destitute parts of Nepal. The school is run by Shirley Blair, a Canadian from Victoria. “They had a lot of kids that were coming into the school who were from the very most remote places,” said McCall. “They would be earmarked for this school because they were in high risk because one of their parents had died or something like that, or they had such severe health problems they might die in these remote places. We had a couple kids referred for heart surgery, and a little girl who had TB of the spine. “When she was treated she was bent over, couldn’t stand up straight. After she was treated, she grew tall and straight and healthy. “There were some kids we couldn’t do very much

Garland to stand trial ACCUSED OF KILLING CALGARY BOY AND HIS GRANDPARENTS Garland now faces three counts of first-degree murder, although the bodies of the couple and their grandson have not been found. He originally faced second-degree murder in the boy’s death. “Three first-degree (charges) is better,” said Barb Beaudry, niece of Alvin Liknes. Beaudry attended most of the seven-day preliminary hearing. When the hearing began, dozens of friends and family members of the victims packed the courtroom. She said the last thing the family wants is to hear the evidence again, but said they will be at the trial. “It’s going to be awful for everybody,” she said. “I think he (the accused) needs to know we’re watching. It doesn’t bring anybody back, but my cousins just want you guys to know they’ve had wonderful support from the public and friends. That doesn’t bring anybody back, but it makes it a little more tolerable.” Nathan was sleeping over at his grandparents last June after they held an estate sale at their Calgary
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Relatives of a Calgary boy and his grandparents who were slain nearly a year ago say they were somewhat satisfied that the man accused of killing them was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on upgraded charges. Douglas Garland was arrested last year following the disappearance of Alvin and Kathy Liknes and five-yearold Nathan O’Brien. Judge Bob Wilkins ruled there was sufficient evidence Douglas Garland presented at a preliminary inquiry to send Garland, who is 55, to trial.
home in advance of a move to Edmonton and then Mexico. When the boy’s mother arrived the next morning to pick him up, no one was home and a search began. Police have said there was evidence of a violent encounter in the house, but have not disclosed a motive. Investigators have combed through several properties surrounding the area near Airdrie, north of Calgary, where Garland lived. A search last year went on for weeks and police resumed looking for evidence in the same area in March. Garland watched the testimony of the 30 witnesses closely during the hearing, occasionally scribbling notes but avoided looking at those in the courtroom. “Through the process I spoke to my client as we’ve gone through,” said defence lawyer Kim Ross. “I haven’t had a chance to speak to him after today’s events, but he’s holding up as best as can be expected in the circumstances.”

He says residents have been advised that fire conditions could change and they may have to leave again. The fire outlook throughout the province has been rated severe through the end of the week due to hot and dry weather. A provincewide fire ban is still in effect, along with air quality advisories for Edmonton and areas north of the city. As of Wednesday, there were 63 fires burning in Alberta and 13 were considered to be out of control.

Canada’s drug problem PIECEMEAL DRUG INSURANCE COVERAGE COSTS CITIES — AND TAXPAYERS — PLENTY BY STEVE MORGAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Canada’s cities face a number of problems, including traffic congestion, housing costs, crime rates and shabby infrastructure. Now prescription drugs can be added to the list; it is a problem that is costing local governments as much as $500 million every year. Recognizing that access to necessary medicines is critical for health and well-being, many cities offer their employees private insurance coverage for prescription drug costs. For example, the cities of Toronto and Calgary spend approximately $43 million and $20 million, respectively, on private drug insurance plans for their employees. The coverage they offer is relatively comprehensive, resulting in costs per employee that are equal to private sector averages. Vancouver and Halifax offer less comprehensive drug coverage for their employees but still at considerable cost — about $3 million each. There are more than 600,000 local government employees across the country, according to Statistics Canada, and two-thirds of them receive private health insurance from the cit-
ies, towns and districts they work for. Based on the cost of such coverage for the four cities mentioned, it is a reasonable estimate that local governments are spending $500 million a year on private drug insurance for their employees. Cities have to spend this money — taken from local taxpayers — because Canada’s medicare system is the only universal, public health-care system among developed countries that does not include universal coverage of prescription drugs. It is not wrong for cities to care for their employees. But leaving these costs to the cities makes about as much sense as requiring every homeowner to maintain the roads and infrastructure surrounding their property. Just as would happen if infrastructure was left to individual homeowners, the system that leaves drug coverage to individual patients and employers — including cities — creates an unco-ordinated patchwork. Most cities provide coverage, but some can’t afford to. Some workers qualify for coverage, but some don’t. The same pattern plays out in cities, hospitals, schools and businesses across the country. As a result, millions of Canadians are without drug coverage and one in 10 Canadians can-
not afford to fill their prescriptions. This patchwork is inequitable and profoundly inefficient because it fails to place responsibility for drug coverage and costs with the right level of government. Provinces and the federal government are responsible for Canada’s health-care system. They are best suited to manage access to medicines as an integral part of health-care for all Canadians. They are also best positioned to reduce waste and overspending on pharmaceuticals. Having multiple drug plans operating in every province — including multiple private plans for public sector employees — needlessly duplicates administrative costs. This fragmentation also diminishes Canadians’ purchasing power on the global market for pharmaceuticals. Provincial governments wield about $10 billion in purchasing power when negotiating rebates for prescription drugs. This reduces public drug plan costs by millions of dollars. But it does not lower costs for cities and other organizations which insure their workers through the private drug plans that are miniscule in comparison. No matter how hard they try, cities would have about as much chance of
negotiating competitive drug prices as homeowners would have of securing the best prices for infrastructure planning, engineering and construction. Some things are best done through well-planned, population-level procurement processes. A recent study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows how a universal public drug plan run by provinces could provide all Canadians coverage for prescription drugs while saving taxpayers $7 billion per year. Such a program would end the downloading of prescription drug costs to local governments and thereby allow cities to better address problems like traffic, housing and crime. The federal and provincial governments should take responsibility for our prescription drug problem by implementing universal pharmacare for all Canadians. Doing so would support the health and well-being of public and private sector workers alike at far lower cost than Canadians are paying for our disorganized, patchwork system today.

Freedom to disagree should be fundamental BY JOHN CARPAY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Court actions launched by Trinity Western University (TWU) against the Law Societies of B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia raise important questions that go to the heart of Canada’s free and democratic society. Why doesn’t TWU just get with the program and accept the reality of gay marriage in Canada? Why cling tenaciously to outdated beliefs about sexuality and marriage that many Canadians consider to be silly and naïve, or even bigoted and hateful? Authentic diversity in Canada’s free society is the short answer to both questions. The Federation of Law Societies of Canada has approved the law program of TWU, a private Evangelical Christian university in Langley, B.C., as meeting academic and professional standards. The three law societies admit there is nothing wrong with TWU’s law program, but claim that TWU’s Community Covenant discriminates against the LGBTQ+ community. This claim wilfully ignores the fact that unmarried heterosexuals who insist on being sexually active are also not welcome to attend TWU. Further, the Community Covenant prohibits numerous legal activities such as vulgar or obscene language, drunkenness, viewing pornography and gossip. In short, TWU’s expectations “discriminate” against the majority of Canadians, for a myriad of reasons, all of which boil down to an unwillingness to practise an evangelical Christian lifestyle. Every voluntary association discriminates. The constitution of Out for Kicks, Vancouver’s gay soccer

It would be safe to assume that an evangelical Christian who disagrees with LGBTQ+ worldviews, especially one who claims to have experienced a change in her sexual orientation, would not feel welcome to join Out for Kicks. Or, more accurately, she would be welcome to join only if she refrained from openly sharing her personal experiences with, and beliefs about, sexuality. She might argue that she is not welcome there, and cannot abide by the Out for Kicks constitution and also be true to herself because her religious beliefs and her own experience of sexuality form the core of her identity. Nevertheless, she is not a victim and can play soccer elsewhere. To suggest that Out for Kicks needs to change its own constitution, in order to make every individual feel welcome, is the antithesis of the free society. Tolerance for unpopular groups, practices, and beliefs — not popular ones — is what separates the free society from the totalitarian state. As the Supreme Court of Canada held in Zundel: “The view of the majority has no need of constitutional protection; it is tolerated in any event.” For a free society to remain free, its citizens must acquire the maturity to cope with their feelings of incomprehension and outrage when confronted with doctrines or practices they consider putrid and offensive. Freedom depends on citizens accepting that other people can and do have radically different conceptions of reality, including unpopular ideas about sexuality.

Alberta Press Council member The Red Deer Advocate is a sponsoring member of the Alberta Press Council, an independent body that promotes and protects the established freedoms of the press and advocates freedom of information. The Alberta Press Council upholds
I cannot enjoy freedom of expression myself unless I grant my neighbour — whose opinions I may abhor — the same freedom. A legal right to be free from hurt feelings, if it existed, would destroy freedom of expression as well as freedom of association. A free society tolerates an authentic diversity of groups and organizations, including unpopular ones. The Liberal Party, the United Way, the United Church, and the Vancouver Pride Society all discriminate on the basis of their beliefs, goals, rules and practices. That is their right, and the right of every charity, temple, church, ethnic and cultural association, sports club and political group. Freedom of association ceases to exist when government bodies (like the law societies of Ontario, B.C. and Nova Scotia) try to coerce a private and voluntary association (like TWU) to alter its rules, in order to please those who disagree with the association. A court ruling against TWU’s freedom of association would undermine the freedom of association of every other group in Canada as well. The TWU law school controversy provides an opportunity to choose the free society and authentic diversity over authoritarianism and conformity. The freedom to express offensive opinions, practise minority religious beliefs, and create unpopular organizations forms the cornerstone of Canada’s free and democratic society. These fundamental freedoms benefit all Canadians, including the LGBTQ+ community.

BRIEFS
Independent panel key to reforming military procurement: Kenney OTTAWA — Defence Minister Jason Kenney pledged Tuesday that a new independent panel would reform the military’s dysfunctional procurement system. Kenney said the announcement of the panel’s members will be made very soon and he said it will mark a major shift in how the Canadian Forces makes massive purchases of equipment. “We want sign off essentially from all the key stakeholders in principle on a project at the front end and an independent panel to affirm that,” the minister said in a keynote luncheon speech to about 900 delegates at an international defence industry trade show. “Once the panel is fully operational, it will make a paradigm shift in the way we conduct defence procurement by enabling greater scrutiny and oversight of project requirements earlier in the procurement process.” Kenney said the panel will try to head off the problems that inevitably surface by doing a mandatory, up-front assessment that challenges the requirement of a major project. He also said the panel will include a representative from industry. The military procurement system has been beset with delays, cancellations and unexpected cost overruns. Political controversy has surrounded the longrunning procurement sagas involving the F-35 stealth fighter jet and fixed-wing, search-and-rescue planes, among others.
Deaf Canadians fear loss of televised, captioned election debates OTTAWA — Deaf and hard-of-hearing Canadians fear their needs as voting citizens might be lost in the shuffle in the coming election campaign as the federal parties squabble over the formats and hosts of the leaders’ debates. The proposal by the major TV networks, put to the federal parties, includes closed captioning in both French and English — as has been the case in previous debates. However, the Conservative Party of Canada has rejected the proposal from the so-called broadcast consortium, which includes CBC/ Radio-Canada, Global News and CTV. As a result, the teleSALES vised debates are in limbo; it’s not clear whether the opposition parties would bother with a faceoff that doesn’t include the prime minister. The Conservatives have emphasized their desire for different formats, citing the fact many Canadians no longer watch traditional TV. But broadcasters are required by regulation to include closed captioning with their programming, even during commercials. Will new debate proposals from Maclean’s magazine, the Globe and Mail/Google Canada, the Munk Debates and others include services for the hearing impaired? Rudyard Griffiths, organizer of the Munk Debates, said the organization is looking into closed captioning and sign language, as well as simultaneous French and English translation. James Roots, executive director of the Canadian Association of the Deaf, said up to ten million Canadians with varying degrees of hearing benefit from closed captioning. “We certainly are deeply concerned and distressed by the entire squabble over the proposed federal election debates,” Roots said in an email. “Without taking sides in the dispute, we emphasize that all Canadians — not just Deaf ones — have a legal and moral right to equal access to the debates, and that this access has traditionally been provided by means of captioning.”

They’re accused of plotting to detonate homemade pressure-cooker bombs on the crowded front lawn of the B.C. legislature lawn during Canada Day festivities two years ago.

Jette described his client as the perfect, submissive, Muslim wife who lived an isolated life marred by poverty and drug addiction. He said she became the victim of a controlling husband and an overeager RCMP operation intent on “pulling her into their orbit.” Jette asked the jury to question the likelihood that Nuttall and Korody would have been able to accomplish their alleged plot without the support and guidance of the police. He criticized the operation’s primary undercover officer as playing a heavy-handed role in guiding the accused.

Hawks down Ducks FORCE GAME 7 IN WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blackhawks 5 Ducks 2 CHICAGO — It is really hard to wear out Duncan Keith. He just keeps going and going and going. Keith had three assists and saved a goal in the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Wednesday night to force a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals. The Blackhawks’ biggest stars stepped up during a key stretch in the second, led by another terrific all-around performance for Keith. Shaking off the Ducks’ plan to wear down Chicago’s top four defencemen, Keith had his fourth multipoint game of the playoffs. “He’s kind of a freak as far as his metabolism and conditioning level,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “I think the more he plays, the more efficient, the more he gets going.” Andrew Shaw had two goals late in the third, sending the Ducks to their first regulation loss of the playoffs. Brandon Saad, Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane also scored for Chicago, and Corey Crawford made 30 saves. Next up for the NHL playoffs is a double dip of Game 7s to determine which teams will play for the Stanley Cup. The New York Rangers host the Tampa Bay Lightning in the East final Friday night, and the Blackhawks and Ducks meet in Anaheim on Saturday night. It is only the second time in the expansion era since the 1967-68 playoffs that each of the conference finals required a Game 7. The other time was in 2000, when New Jersey went on to beat Dallas for the NHL title. “I think the finality of it is what stands out,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I mean, one group is going to go home and one group’s going to go play for the Stanley Cup. There’s really not a lot you can leave on the table.” The Ducks and Blackhawks each dropped a home Game 7 to Los Angeles last season. Anaheim blew a

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Brandon Saad celebrates his goal against Anaheim Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen with Jonathan Toews during the second period in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, Wednesday, in Chicago. 3-2 series lead against the Kings in the second round, and the Blackhawks lost 5-4 in overtime in the West finals on a deflected shot from Los Angeles defenceman Alec Martinez. “I remember the feeling after we lost that game,” Kane said. “We definitely don’t want that feeling again.” Patrick Maroon and Clayton Stoner scored for the Ducks, and Frederik Andersen made 18 saves. Anaheim caught a break when Jakob Silfverberg brushed up against Crawford’s glove on Stoner’s first goal of the playoffs at 1:57 of the third, trimming Chicago’s lead to 3-2. There was no call on the play and Crawford threw up his hands in exasperation after Stoner’s big slap shot went into the net. But Crawford quickly put the play behind him, hanging tough while the Ducks made a frantic push for the tying goal. He got some help from Keith when the two-time Norris Trophy winner swept a shot away from the goal line about 3 ½ minutes into the period.
“It’s unbelievable,” Shaw said. “He’s one of those athletes who digs down and finds that extra step.” Shaw finally got the Blackhawks some breathing room when he beat Andersen with a nifty backhander high into the net with 3:32 left. Andrew Desjardins made a nice hustle play to get the puck over to Shaw for his third playoff goal. Shaw then added an empty-netter in the final minute as Chicago improved to 7-1 at home in the playoffs. “I think we chased the game a little bit tonight and I think we let them dictate the second period,” Ducks centre Ryan Kesler said. “They scored three quick ones. It’s tough to come back from three goals. We gave it a shot there.” Keith picked up his first assist in the second when he made a long pass ahead to Kane, who touched it to a streaking Saad. The rugged forward then skated in and beat Andersen for a 1-0 lead, sending a charge through the crowd of 22,089. The team with the first goal has won each of the first six games.
Raiders run away with city titles Oceanic stay alive with win over host Remparts
RUGBY BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Raiders 67 Cougars 5 The fact the Lindsay Thurber Raiders are going back to the Alberta Schools Athletic Association boys rugby championships is not a surprise. The fashion in which they manhandled their zone competition this year is. The tier I final might as well have been a battle of men and boys, as they ground the speedy Notre Dame Cougars into the ground 67-5 at Titans Rugby Park on Wednesday to win their fourth straight zone title. To say they were motivated after last year’s eighth place finish is a misnomer, they were driven. “As soon as provincials finished, we had a team meeting and ... we sat down with all of the boys and said ‘OK, you need to get bigger, stronger, fitter, harder,’ and that’s what they did,” said Raiders head coach Dean Plant, who was joined on the sidelines with Lonnie Amundson. “They finally understood what we were trying to do here and put some time in in the gym and they can see how their bodies have changed ... and it shows out there when you’re much more physical.” Mischa Maree led the Raiders with four tries while Dawson McCrea and Cody Hawkes added two, Lsyther Rodico, Adrian Ollewagen, Owen Smith and Gordi Walls each had one. McCrea also added four converts while Ryan Reddin had four. Provincials are at McNally High School in Edmonton June 5-6. Their own expectations are nothing short of reaching the podium — in tournament play this year they’ve tied Bishop O’Byrne out of Edmonton 0-0 and lost to Winston Churchill out of Lethbridge, in what Plant calls a valuable lesson. Their other big asset is their depth, as evidenced by their seven different players reaching the end zone on Wednesday. But to get to a medal position, they will not have the luxury of making mistakes early. “You always have to win the first game, because if you lose the

After beating the Notre Dame Cougars 36-5 on Wednesday in the zone final at Titans Park, they now have that high-bar to reach for. “Our goal is to always finish in the top four, you want to be on the winning side right after the first game,” said Raiders head coach Bill Bowd. “Nobody has seen us, so they don’t know how good we are, when we go in there I think we can upset anybody we play, because we play a game most teams don’t know how to play against.” Nikki Thomas scored three tries to lead the Raiders’ attack while Muftah Adair, Angie Cuero and Reece McGuire scored one try each and Molly Rumohr was
good on three converts. Kate Jensen scored the Cougars’ lone try on the final play. The Raiders carried the play for most of the second half and stretched their lead in the final 20 minutes with four tries. “The more time we spent running at them, the more time they spent going backwards,” said Bowd. “If you’re going backwards in rugby, you’re also having to tackle the whole time, they just ran out of juice.” For the Cougars, Rattan is happy with the effort put forth by his girls, they just shot themselves in the foot far too often. But they have a strong group of girls coming back next year. “The last 20 minutes of the game we had two Grade 12 players, everybody else was a Grade 10 or Grade 11 so that was cool to see ... but we were playing at the same pace as when we had our older girls in,” said Cougars head coach Ian Rattan. “The newer girls stepped up and got a lot better over the course of the year and as a coach, that’s awesome to see.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Oceanic 4 Ramparts 0 QUEBEC — The Rimouski Oceanic look like they have rival Quebec’s number, but Remparts coach Philippe Boucher feels they may have got some help from a referee. Michael Joly had a goal and three assists as the Oceanic used three power-play goals to chase goalie Zach Fucale and down the host Remparts 4-0 on Wednesday. The win helped Rimouski stave off elimination and force a tiebreaker game Thursday night at the Mastercard Memorial Cup — against the Remparts. “We needed a big start and that’s what happened,” said Oceanic centre Frederik Gauthier. “We came out strong and put pressure on their defencemen. “It’s the last one and one team will go home and the other will continue, so we need to play our best game.” While Philippe Desrosiers made 27 saves for the shutout, Fucale was pulled in favour of Callum Booth at 12:40 of the second period after Alexis Loiseau made it 4-0 on Rimouski’s 25th shot. Booth made 17 saves. Boucher said he wanted to rest Fucale for the rematch, given that the game at that point looked like a lost cause. But then he lit into the tournament’s hockey operations people, who come from the NHL, for naming Jonathan Alarie as one of the refs. “He called the first two penalties tonight, the last four against Oshawa, the one in Game 7 in Rimouski,” said Boucher, who will likely be fined for his comments. “And we asked, if possible, that he’s not there. And he was there. “It’s the NHL that decides on the refs here and they should be aware of certain things that happened during the year. Ever since a linesman was suspended for comments he made about me it’s been difficult for us. It’s disheartening.” Justin Samson, who spent half the season in junior-A hockey with Vaudreuil-Dorion, and Chris Clapperton also scored for the Oceanic, who beat the Remparts in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final on a Game 7 overtime goal by Joly on a power play on which Alarie called the penalty. The result put the Kelowna Rockets into the semifinal on Friday because they had the best goal percentage among three teams who finished the round robin with 1-2 records. The Oceanic (1-2) and Remparts (1-2) will be the first teams from the same league to play a tiebreaker since Kamloops beat Portland twice in a row in 1986. The Oshawa Generals (3-0) earned direct entry into the final on Sunday. Rimouski has won it’s last six games at the Pepsi Colisee, including all three in the QMJHL final. “I don’t think our team is stressed when we play here,” said Joly.

Area athletes have solid day at zones BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Provincials is just the first step for Notre Dame Cougars track star Brayden Posyluzny. The 17-year-old Innisfail decathlete has his eyes set on making the national team this spring and making a run for the Pan-Am games.

His efforts were good enough to earn him the senior boys aggregate title with 32 points, three ahead of Bentley’s Kai Poffenroth. “There’s a lot of things I need to work on and a lot of things that are going well,” he said. “I’m going to the combined events nationals in mid-June and I’m hoping to go there, have a good meet, make a few PB’s and make team Canada, that’s what I’m shooting for.” He will be joined at provincials in Lethbridge on June 5 and 6 by fellow Cougar Tiana Lemon, who finished third overall in the junior girls competition, finishing with silver medals in 80 metre hurdles and long jump. She also got a bronze in the triple jump but only the top two in each event move on to provincials. Going to provincials will also provide Posyluzny an extra opportunity to get comfortable in his surroundings after committing to the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns for next year. “I went down there in January for a few practices and just feel in love with them, with the school and team and I like the coaches there, it’s a good atmosphere,” he said, adding he will be entering the bachelor of science program, focusing on kinesiology. For some athletes, this will be their last shot at a provincial medal. Erika Pearson, 18, has had a big season for the Hunting Hills Lightning. She tied with teammate Drew McKinlay for the senior girls aggregate title at the area championships and on Wednesday, this time she finished tied for second with Paige Leek out of the Central Alberta Christian High School in Lacombe
with 25 points, two back of McKinlay. Pearson earned gold in both the triple jump and long jump and silver in the 80 metre hurdles. Last year she cracked the top five at provincials, finishing fourth, but is hoping to break into the top three. “It’s more so motivating for me than pressure,” said Pearson, noting a medal may help her catch a college recruiter’s eye. “My past experiences definitely make the nerves go away and I know what to expect this year, I’m excited.” Pearson has trained all year for this opportunity, also playing for the Lightning’s volleyball team as a left side power and is training for the Woody’s Triathlon. Her regimen works well for all sports. “It’s definitely helping just my overall fitness for sure,” she said. Pearson and McKinlay also teamed for silver in the 4x100 metre relay. McKinlay also added gold in the 100 and 200 metre dashes, and the 80-metre hurdles. Carson West also had a big day for Hunting Hills, winning the Intermediate boys title with 22 points, winning gold in the 200 metre dash and silver in the 100-metre dash, qualifying for provincials in both events. He also add bronze medals in the 400-metre dash and 4x100-metre relay. Lindsay Thurber’s Kelsey Lalor, 17, is busy establishing herself as one of Alberta’s top female athletes in the throwing disciplines. At zones on Wednesday, she finished second overall in intermediate girls with 56 points, five behind Rachel Hyink of Bentley. Last year Lalor won junior gold in javelin, a mark she is hoping to repeat, but is hoping to also add a gold in discus this year. At the area meet, Lalor struggled in discus, failing to break 25 metres, but on Wednesday she threw a new personal best with a 29.88 metre throw. If she can go over 30 metres she will be in contention for first. “I worked on my technique and it just felt good coming out of my spin, my timing was really good so my arm came out at the right time,” she said. “Last year in discus I finished eighth so this year I would like to sneak into that top five and get a medal.” She does however feel a bit of pressure as the reigning gold medalist in
Warriors finish off Rockets to advance to NBA Finals Warriors 104 Rockets 90 OAKLAND, Calif. — After a generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have finally arrived on basketball’s biggest stage again. Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. “Why not us?” Curry said to a roaring, golden-yellow shirt wearing crowd after the Warriors received the Western Conference trophy from Alvin Attles, the coach of their last championship team in 1975. The Warriors shook off a slow start and sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 to close out the Rockets and set up a matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beginning June 4. It was hardly the prettiest performance — but one they’ll savour nonetheless. Yellow streams and confetti fell from the rafters when the final buzzer sounded. The Warriors shared hugs and handshakes, and the crowd chanted “M-V-P!” for Curry, who relished the moment on the court with his 2-year-old daughter, Riley. “We deserve to celebrate tonight but we’ve still got unfinished business and it’s a long time coming for the Bay Area,” Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson said. All five Rockets starters scored at least 10 points, but MVP runner-up James Harden had a forgettable finale. Harden had a playoff-record 13 turnovers and scored 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting. Dwight Howard led Houston with 18 points and 16 rebounds.
Curry said he had no lingering effects from his frightening fall in Game 4 that left him with a bruised head and right side. The MVP wore a protective yellow sleeve on his right arm, which he shed in the third quarter after shooting 4 for 12 and the Warriors clinging to a 52-46 halftime lead. Things got tougher on Curry when backcourt mate Thompson faked a shot that drew Trevor Ariza in the air early in the fourth quarter. Thompson absorbed Ariza’s knee to the side of his head, sending him to the floor. Thompson, who finished with 20 points, lay on the ground for a minute before walking to the locker room. He came back to the bench with what the team called a right ear laceration. The Warriors said he could’ve returned, but they never needed him. They started the fourth on a 13-4 run and held off Houston’s last-ditch efforts on free throws. Barnes highlighted the decisive spurt with a dunk that gave Golden State an 87-72 lead with 7:10 remaining. He flexed his muscles to the sellout crowd of 19,596, which spent the final quarter on its feet in anticipation of a celebration a generation in the works. Now it’s LeBron vs. Curry. King James vs. the Baby-Faced Assassin. The four-time NBA MVP vs. the newly crowned MVP. The hype has already started for two of the most popular and entertaining players in the world to take centre stage for the championship, and it has a week to build even more before starting at Oracle Arena. The conference title is the biggest accomplishment yet in what has been a rapid rise for a Warriors team that is beloved in the basketball-united Bay Area despite decades of futility.
javelin. “I think I put most of the pressure on myself because I think it would be nice to win it back-to-back,” said Lalor. “I come out and I throw javelin four or five times a week, it’s what I like to do and I work at it a lot.” Lalor also added a silver in the 4x400-metre relay. The Raiders also had a big afternoon, taking the overall 4A team title with 426 points, Hunting Hills was second with 221.5 points and Notre Dame was third with 171 points. While Thurber qualified a number of athletes for provincials, in the lead group with Lalor was Ben Pasiuk who finished third overall in intermediate boys with gold in the 4x400metre relay and silver in the 200 metre dash, he also added a bronze in the 100 metre dash; and Kaylee Domoney who finished two points
behind Lalor for third place in intermediate girls with silver medals in the 4x100 metre and 200 metre dash. The smaller schools as a whole from Central Alberta performed quite well, Bentley ran away with the 1A title with 145 points, 55 points ahead of second place Provost while Caroline Community School and Eckville tied for third with 63 points. In 2A David Thompson was third with 71 points while CACHS was fourth with 66 and in 3A Lacombe was second with 266.5 points, five points behind first place Wetaskiwin Composite High School, while West Central High School out of Rocky Mountain House was third with 94 points and H.J. Cody out of Innisfail was fifth with 71. See more local results in Friday’s scoreboard. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Source: Buffalo Sabres interviewing former Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma BUFFALO, N.Y. — A person familiar with the discussions tells The Associated Press the Buffalo Sabres are interviewing former Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma for their head-coaching vacancy. The meeting was taking place in Buffalo on Wednesday afternoon, and included Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula, and general manager Tim Murray, the person said. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres have declined to discuss their search to replace Ted Nolan, who was fired last month. Bylsma spent five-plus seasons in Pittsburgh, where he won the 2009 Stanley Cup championship and was the NHL’s 2012 coach of the year. He was fired a year ago after winning a franchise-best 252 games.

A person familiar with the search said Wednesday that DeBoer will be formally introduced later this week. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the hire yet. ESPN first reported the move. DeBoer has coached seven seasons in the NHL with Florida and New Jersey. He made the playoffs just one time when he led the Devils to the Stanley Cup finals in 2012 when they lost to Los Angeles. DeBoer was fired by New Jersey last December with a 205-183-70 career record. DeBoer replaces Todd McLellan, who left after missing the playoffs for the first time this season. San Jose had made 10 straight playoff appearances before finishing 12th in the 14-team Western Con-

Blue Jays’ winning streak ends with loss to White Sox TORONTO — Adam LaRoche drove in Jose Abreu with the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Wednesday at Rogers Centre. Abreu led off with a triple against reliever Roberto Osuna (1-1), who came on after Josh Donaldson extended the game with a solo homer an inning earlier. Pinch-runner Emilio Bonifacio tacked on an insurance run when he scored on a Gordon Beckham double. Robertson (4-1) blew the save in the ninth but still worked the 10th as Chicago (20-24) ended its four-game losing skid. The loss wrapped up a 5-5 homestand for the Blue Jays (22-27) and ended their three-game winning streak. Donaldson’s 13th homer of the season came a day after a two-homer effort that was capped by a three-run walkoff shot off Robertson. Chicago has won two of its last nine games.

Naturescaping your yard requires planning Naturescaped yards are not the traditional gardens. They may have a green lawn but chances are that it will not be made up of one species, Kentucky blue grass. It will host a variety of plants, which might include dandelions, clover and other low-growing groundcover. These yards will include naLINDA tive plants and TOMLINSON natural areas. If planted, they will imitate the ecosystem that was destroyed to build the house or subdivision. In a naturescaped yard, introduced plants such as annuals, perennials and vegetable gardens are placed where they will enhance the nature while not compromising or fighting native plants and animals. An example is to use container gardening in areas where there poplar roots would prove invasive. Not everyone can move into an area
GARDENING
that has been left in a natural state. Starting a naturescape garden requires planning and implementation similar to any garden. When planning the landscape, keep in mind the basic necessities of life: space, shelter, food and water. Manipulating these necessities can make a difference as to what creatures inhabit your yard. Some are more desirable than others. A skunk on the far corner of an acreage is different from one living under your step. Size plays an important part of any ecosystem. Large areas will hold a larger variety of plants and larger plants without overwhelming the space. This in turn will encourage more wildlife to become part of the ecosystem. Smaller areas are just as viable but they will usually contain a less diverse population. Creatures might visit the smaller area on a regular basis but not make it their permanent home. This is often seen with birds that will visit a number of yards and feeders within one area. A garden that provides shelter will have more visitors, or different ones, than yards with open expanses. Shelter for wildlife ranges from manmade houses to trees, shrubs, grasses or piles of old wood. Often the type of shelter is species specific, which allows the gar-
dener to tailor their yard towards their favourite wild creatures. If larger creatures such as deer are wanted in the yard, leave wide open spaces, allowing them to graze and be able to see predators. Like shelter, food is often species specific. This can be addressed by feeding stations or by plantings. Remember that nature works on a food chain. Plantings might attract insects, which in turn attract birds. Try to plant as many native plants as possible as wild creatures tend to feed on species known to them. Native plants have evolved over hundreds of years and thrive in the local environment, withstanding drought, cold temperatures or insect infestation. When planted in the correct location, these plants should thrive with very little care or attention. Native plants need to be ones that grow locally, not ones that grow in a different area of the province. Native plants that are numerous in and around Central Alberta are not always the same as those that grow on the eastern or western part of the province. Water is a necessity. Like everything else, the size and availability will influence the eco-community. The source
needs to be continual, not sporadic. Start with an abundance of healthy soil. Gardening without soil or poor soil results in a poor garden or the need to over-fertilize. Like all living things, plants cannot grow without proper nutrition. Whenever possible, plant in groupings as opposed to individual plants as creatures are more likely to notice a large group of plants as opposed to one. They are also more likely to stop and feed when they do not have to move far between feeding areas. As with all landscapes, the plants should be a variety of heights. As the plants grow upward, different species will discover the garden and make it their home. Lower and medium plantings are just as important in providing food and shelter and making the area aesthetically pleasing. Lastly, how the yard is designed is a personal choice. But if the creatures you harbour feast on the neighbour’s yard, there will be ill feelings. What visits one yard is likely to visit the next one, too.

HOROSCOPE
this battle, and sadly, they cannot fight it for him. I feel so overwhelmed. I am thinking of forcing Dad to go to a nursing home so his brothers will know he had every chance. But if he dies there (and he probably would), I will hate myself for not letting him live his remaining days the way he wants. I don’t want to regret this decision forever. What do I do? — Your Happiness or His? Dear Happiness: As long as your father is capable of making this decision, please respect him enough to allow it. His brothers feel helpless, and that is why they are badgering you to put him in a nursing home. We urge you to have Dad’s doctors and someone from hospice speak to your uncles directly and explain the situation so they will understand more clearly what is at stake. Our condolences. Dear Annie: May I add to the comments on chewing gum during exercise class and sports activities?
When I was a senior, in 1959, I attended a high school faculty-senior basketball game in front of the entire student body. Our wrestling coach ran up the court and suddenly stopped and dropped to his knees. Everyone, including the other coaches, thought he was having a heart attack. He lay there and died. I wrestled for four years under his coaching. We later found out he had been chewing gum and it got stuck in his windpipe, and that’s what killed him. It was one of the saddest days in the school’s history. True story. I can’t say it more strongly: No gum chewing during sports. — Still Sad Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

West Country on high alert DRY CONDITIONS, LIGHTNING STORMS CREATE WILDFIRE HAZARD BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF The West Country’s wildfire hazard has been a good news/bad news scenario this week. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and some rain took some of the edge off the fire hazard. However, the unsettled weather came with lightning, which sparked seven wildfires by Tuesday night. “All of which have pretty much extinguished except two,” said Kristofer Heemerych, wildfire prevention officer out of Rocky Mountain House, on
Wednesday. “The lightning came with some rain as well, so it helps.” While some areas got significant rainfall, others received much less and the wildfire hazard remains high. “It’s not consistent across the area. It’s very patchy. This little bit of rain just buys us relief for a couple of days,” said Heemerych. The provincewide fire ban is expected to remain in place through the weekend. It was imposed by the province on Monday because of dry conditions across Alberta and the need to marshal resources to fight large wildfires
in the northern part of the province. Across the province, 33 fires new wildfires were reported in 24 hours up to Wednesday afternoon. Of the 63 wildfires burning, 13 were out of control when the last update came out at 2 p.m. “The wildfire outlook in Alberta remains severe through to the end of this week,” says the update. Since April 1, 723 fires have burned nearly 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) in Alberta. Weather forecasters are calling for a continuation of the unsettled Central Alberta conditions with afternoon showers and thunder showers.
“So we expect to pick up a little bit more precip in the area, but again it’s going to be very spotty and scattered. It’s not an organized event of rain.” To lift the fire ban, the province needs to see widespread rain, including in the north which did not benefit from the latest rainfall. So far this season, the Rocky Wildfire Management Area, which extends from Drayton Valley and Sundre west to the national parks, has avoided the worst of the fires. This season, 70 fires have been recorded, burning about 45 hectares (111 acres). pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
POINT MADE
Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff
For the students in Jason Zackowski’s Chemistry 20 IB class at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School, the lesson of the day was about polarity and how atoms have poles, like a magnet, and explaining theoretically why some molecules may, for instance, dissolve in water. The demonstration specifically showed how hydrogen can react more readily with oxygen than carbon. “If you can add some fire and explosions to a lesson, kids pay attention and remember the next points‚“ said Zackowski. With a burning match on the end of a metre stick, Grade 10 student Tyrel Osbak ignited a balloon filled with hydrogen to drive the point home.
Boil water advisory remains in place for West Park homes BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Residents in West Park will have to boil their water for another few days. Ron Wardner, Environmental Services construction and maintenance superintendent, said the boil water advisory for 33 homes in West Park will likely be lifted on Sunday or Monday. The city issued the advisory after a water main broke in the area early Tuesday evening. Homes on West Park Crescent and West Park Close are asked to boil their water before drinking or cooking until further notice. Wardner said the advisory was issued as a precautionary measure. He said there is a chance that containments got into the main from the soil before the leak was contained. “We always want to err on the side
of caution,” he said. “We just want to make sure the water is safe.” Wardner said the city will send off samples today and Friday to Alberta Health Services to ensure the water is safe to drink. Crews were flushing the line on Wednesday. “During that time people can water their lawns or flush their toilets and everything else,” he said. “It’s really just the drinking and cooking.” City staff are going door-to-door to all affected homes to provide an information package. Homes affected by the boil water advisory are: West Park Crescent, odd numbers — 5921 to 5945 West Park Crescent, even numbers — 5936 to 5964 West Park Close, even numbers — 5926 to 5934 crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Stolen property case heads to trial this summer Two men face a total of more than 50 charges, including 20 counts each of possession of stolen property under $5,000, and will stand trial later this summer. Andrew William Rogers, 33, of Penhold and Ryan William Litwyn, 28, of Red Deer were arrested on Feb. 3. An RCMP press release issued on Wednesday named the accused and said they have a trial date for July 20 in Red Deer provincial court. They both face 20 counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000; as well as charges of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose; possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle; unauthorized possession of a prohib-
ited weapon; fraud over $5,000 and two counts of fraud under $5,000. Rogers also faces charges of driving while unauthorized, operation of a motor vehicle while pursued by police and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle charges. Litwyn also faces two counts of resisting or obstructing a peace officer and failing to comply with his probation order. The charges were laid after Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a report of an erratic driver on Aspelund Road on Feb. 3. Police located the vehicle, but said it failed to stop when emergency lights were activated. Instead, the vehicle
continued to drive in a dangerous manner, avoiding a head-on collision only through the evasive action of the oncoming vehicle. Police terminated the pursuit at that time due to public safety concerns, but continued to track the vehicle. A spike belt was deployed by police tracking the vehicle near Rimbey. However, the vehicle left the road and got stuck in a snow drift before hitting the spike belt. The two were arrested after a short foot pursuit. Police seized a firearm from the truck and found several stolen credit cards, which led to a more thorough investigation with the assistance of the Red Deer RCMP general investigative

section and the Priority Crimes Task Force. Through that investigation, police say they found numerous credit cards, tools, electronics and other property that had been stolen throughout Central Alberta. “The incidents of Feb. 3 reinforced the importance of the Priority Crimes Task Force collaboration,” said Staff Sgt. Gary Rhodes of Sylvan Lake RCMP in a press release. “Increasingly, criminal activity crosses jurisdictions and impacts all our neighbouring communities, and the best way to target these prolific offenders is through shared intelligence, as well as through support and tips from the public.”

PRIVATE PRACTICE
LOCAL
BRIEFS No charges likely after pedestrian hit Red Deer RCMP say charges are unlikely against the driver of a pickup truck involved in a collision with a pedestrian in the downtown early Tuesday evening. At about 6:10 p.m., RCMP responded to a report of the collision near 49th Street and 49th Avenue. Police said a 21-year-old Red Deer man was struck by the truck and taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. RCMP said the investigation continues but at this time they do not anticipate charging the driver as it appears the pedestrian was jaywalking outside of the crosswalk.

Martini artist Godard in Red Deer American artist Michael Godard will appear at Editions Gallery at Bower Place Shopping Centre on June 4. Godard, who will be at the gallery from 4 to 8 p.m., is known for his vibrant martini art that features olives, grapes and other characters. Prior to becoming a full-time artist, he had stints as a mechanical engineer, commercial illustrator, caricature artist and entrepreneur. When his daughter became sick and he would spend long hours in hospital with her, he wanted something cheerful in his life, so he started painting olives in humourous scenarios, in bright colours. His daughter Paige passed away in 2006 from brain cancer, and Godard continued on with the paintings. He has made television appearances on HBO’s Cat House, A&E’s Mind Freak, American Casino and Inked. He’s known as the rock star of the art world. He started up a foundation in his daughter’s name that helps fund research to find a cure for the illness that his daughter had. Godard has appeared several times in the past at the Red Deer store.

Lacombe seeks public budget input The City of Lacombe wants to hear what is on the public’s budget wish lists. The Citizen Submission Program was introduced last year and drew 19 requests for sidewalks, water slides and canoe launches among more than a dozen other suggested spends. A short list of seven projects later became part of budget deliberations. This year, local residents can submit their proposals from June 1 to 30. The city said it will evaluate all of the ideas but can’t guarantee they will go forward to council along with department budgets. Budget discussions start in the fall and council typically approves its next year’s budget in December.

BoC holds key rate at 0.75% DESPITE QUESTIONS ABOUT U.S. WEAKNESS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is keeping its trendsetting interest rate locked at 0.75 per cent even as recent weakness in the United States raises questions about the economy here at home. The central bank said Wednesday that it’s standing pat because inflation has been in line with projections and consumption has held up relatively well — even amid the net negative effects of lower oil prices. The bank, however, plans to keep an eye on the potential economic implications for Canada if the loonie stays higher than it has been in recent months — a result of lower U.S. dollar and slightly higher oil prices. “If these developments are sustained, their net effect will need to be assessed as more data become available in the months ahead,” the bank said in delivering its latest rate announcement. The central bank also said while risks to the country’s financial stability remain elevated, they seem to
be unfolding as anticipated. When it came to inflation, the bank’s outlook didn’t budge. It said inflation, which had a reading of 0.8 per cent for April, remained at the lower end of the bank’s target range because of the temporary impact of lower energy prices. The bank said temporary factors are also affecting core inflation, which excludes some volatile items such as gasoline. It said core inflation was higher than usual because of the effect of the past depreciation in the Canadian dollar. “Although a number of complex adjustments are underway, the bank’s assessment of risks to the inflation profile has not materially changed,” the central bank said. National Bank senior economist Krishen Rangasamy said the bank’s statement reiterates its optimism for the country’s economic recovery. “The Bank of Canada is trying to send out a positive message,” he said. It also seeks to reassure people that the bank will stay put on the rate for the a little while, said Rangasamy. He believes that should help build con-
fidence with those who still believe the central bank could shake up markets again by suddenly moving the benchmark rate. The Bank of Canada surprised markets in January by dropping the rate from a full percentage point as insurance against the “unambiguously negative” impact of sliding oil prices. Last week, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz called the weaker-than-expected U.S. economy “slightly puzzling,” but he expressed optimism it would start accelerating in the second half of 2015. While Poloz has been counting on a strengthening American economy to provide a major boost for Canada — so far this year the U.S. has stopped short of expectations. On Wednesday, the bank predicted a return to “solid growth” in the second quarter, even though Poloz has warned that data for the first three months of 2015 will look “atrocious” and he has projected zero growth for that period. The bank’s next rate announcement is scheduled for July 15, when it will also release its quarterly monetary policy report.

CNRL faces uncertainty with new NDP government OIL ROYALTIES BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — One of Canada’s biggest oil and gas producers said Wednesday it can’t make future spending decisions until it gets a better handle on the new Alberta government’s plans for royalties, taxes and environmental regulation. But NDP Premier Rachel Notley said, if anything, the province’s lack of progress thus far on combatting climate change has been the bigger cause of uncertainty for the industry. Energy giant Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ) was to have held an open house for institutional investors on June 17 featuring detailed presentations by executives, but that’s been deferred. A conference call will be held that day instead. “Due to the current uncertainty surrounding the Government of Alberta’s review of royalty, taxation, environmental and greenhouse gas policies, detailed future capital allocation plans for each of the company’s assets cannot be finalized at this time,” Canadian Natural Resources said in a release. Notley said after the NDP’s inaugural cabinet meeting in Calgary that when it comes to climate change rules, “Frankly, failing to deal with those
issues creates as much uncertainty as dealing with them. “In order to deal with these issues, we’re going to take a thoughtful, considered, intelligent approach to moving forward and we are going to do it with a great deal of consultation and a great deal of dialogue and they’re not going to be surprised by anything,” she said. “But to suggest that we never change anything ever, ever, ever going forward I don’t think is particularly responsible, given the pressures that are being faced by the industry as a result of the worldwide conversation around climate change.” Notley said she spoke “at some length” on the phone to Canadian Natural Resources chairman Murray Edwards, a prominent oilpatch financier. The CEOs of Encana Corp. (TSX:ECA) and Suncor Energy Inc. (TSX:SU) said they also had calls with Notley after the May 5 election. Earlier Wednesday, new Alberta Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd said she’s in “listening and learning mode” as the government prepares to review oil and gas royalties. The royalty review is a priority, she said on her way into the cabinet meeting. “As the premier’s promised, it’s going to be an open and transparent process,” she said, adding the industry will have “a lot of input.” The hope is to assemble the royalty panel within six months, but there are logistics to consider heading into summer, she said.
BMO’s second quarter profit slides BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) saw its second-quarter profit fall compared with a year ago as it grappled with slowing consumer loan growth and pulled back a little from the auto loan business. Canadian consumers are already stretched thin and have been hesitant to take on more debt, while cooling housing markets across much of the country have slowed growth in the mortgage business. That has sparked concerns about future growth for Canadian banks. Meanwhile, BMO’s head of Canadian personal

and commercial banking said the bank pulled back somewhat on its auto loans business, as several trends — such as the growth of longer-term loans and higher loan amounts — made the lender “a little bit uncomfortable.” “We believe in this business,” Cameron Fowler told investors and analysts during a conference call Wednesday. “We like the risk-adjusted returns. We just wanted to pull back a little bit, from a risk perspective, on that, which we did do.” BMO earned $999 million, or $1.49 per share, in the latest period, down from $1.08 billion or $1.60 per share a year ago.

After a triple-digit pullback Tuesday, the S&P/TSX composite index closed up 59.66 points at 15,110.47 after adjusted earnings from both the Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) and National Bank (TSX:NA) surprised on the upside and both raised their quarterly dividend. Allan Small, senior adviser at HollisWealth, said people have been “bashing the banks ... wondering, ’Where are the banks going to continue to make money from?”’ in a low interest rate environment. “But I think what these people fail to understand is that the banks now are moving into more of a wealth management style or model for themselves,” he said, noting how BMO talked up capital markets and wealth management business in its earnings report. “Charging that flat fee for a customer’s portfolio is a great thing ... and I think that bodes well for their earnings this quarter and, going forward, the banks will be just fine.” The energy sector was the biggest drag on the TSX, down 0.73 per cent as the July oil contract retreated further from the $60-a-barrel mark, down 52 cents at US$57.51. June gold slid $1.30 to US$1,185.60 an ounce. Meanwhile, the loonie lost 0.21 of a U.S. cent to 80.26 cents as the Bank of Canada announced its key interest rate would remain at 0.75 per cent and looked to remain there for some time. That was its lowest close since finishing at 80.06 cents on April 14. Wall Street also bounced back smartly, with the Dow

Again, people shouldn’t be surprise by such “choppiness,” Small said, noting that on any given day market direction will depend on whether traders, especially high-frequency traders, focus on the positive or the negative. “So (one day) the news out of Greece, people will think it’s a good thing and buy up the market and all of a sudden they might think it’s a bad thing and sell off the market.” As well, for the past few years investors have had a “buythe-dip mentality,” he said. So, if markets go down 100 or 200 points one day, very often traders will come in and buy that dip the next. The point being that with interest rates so low and equities fairly valued, investors don’t have any choice but to be in the market, he said. “We call it Tina: there is no alternative.” FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close of Wednesday at world financial market trading.

Johnston says the city conducted a vigorous review of the project with input from experts on viability, diluted bitumen spill impacts and economic effects. A Metro Vancouver-commissioned report on health and air quality concluded a spill could expose up to 1 million people to toxic fumes and kill up to 100,000 birds. Mayor Gregor Robertson says Vancouver’s green brand could be threatened by a spill and he was shocked by a report that found the impact of such a disaster could cost the city’s economy $3 billion.
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A remote Arctic hamlet is declaring victory after a consortium of energy companies cancelled this summer’s controversial plans for seismic testing off Baffin Island. “I’m very happy about it,” said Jerry Natanine, mayor of Clyde River, a hamlet along the island’s east coast that strongly opposed the seismic plans. “I’m reassured by the fact the company is willing to do what it did and go with our request.” The Norwegian-based consortium informed Natanine of the cancellation earlier this week. It said the decision only pertains to this summer’s plans and it retains the right to test in the future. A spokesman was not immediately
available for comment Wednesday. Last June, the National Energy Board approved plans from the threecompany consortium to begin five years of seismic tests in the Davis Strait, up and down the entire length of Baffin Island. The testing, which uses loud, high-intensity sounds to help map the sea floor and the geology underneath, was to begin this summer. The program is strongly opposed by the people of Clyde River, which argued before the board that the testing would disturb or harm seals, whales, walrus and other marine mammals locals depend on for food. The hamlet was joined in its opposition by all the communities on Baffin Island, regional and territorial Inuit groups and the Nunavut Marine Council, which represents Nunavut’s wildlife management bodies.

Age of Aquarius DAVID DUCHOVNY IS A TOUGH 1960S DETECTIVE IN NBC DRAMA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Between wrapping Californication and the return of The X-Files, David Duchovny is making a detour to the mind-bending 1960s. In NBC’s drama Aquarius, he plays a Los Angeles police detective whose search for a missing teen leads to a would-be rock star destined to become the era’s bogeyman: Charles Manson. Aquarius, which airs weekly after its 9-11 p.m. EDT Thursday debut, also will be available for online binging. In a network experiment that echoes a Netflix-style release, NBC is putting the full 13-episode season on NBC.com, the David Duchovny NBC app and other video-ondemand platforms following the premiere. The series gives Duchovny the chance to play a character far different from his hallmark TV roles of a sex-obsessed writer on Showtime’s dark romp and a rule-breaking FBI agent from Fox’s eerie 1993-02 drama. LAPD Detective Sam Hodiak of Aquarius is a decorated Second World War veteran dismayed to see the
stalwart 1940s and staid ’50s give way to drugs, rock ’n’ roll and political tumult. “He is walking around looking at these kids with long hair and thinking, ’This is what I killed for? This is what I would have been killed for?�’ Duchovny said. “In many ways he’s the perfect guy to look through Manson. Manson’s a fake ... a 35-year-old guy manipulating young girls.� But in the polarized ’60s, Manson was co-opted as a symbol of the dangers of social upheaval, the actor said. The series opens two years before the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, among the killings that led to the convictions of Manson (played by Gethin Anthony, Game of Thrones) and his followers. Duchovny said he wasn’t deliberately trying to distance himself from his past work by portraying a tough cop with a crew cut. “I want to do the best thing I can. But when the best thing that came across my desk was this (Aquarius), I wasn’t unhappy that it was a straight-laced character. I wasn’t unhappy that he was establishment,� the actor said. Hodiak, who’s going through a divorce and harbours creative passions, is a complex man, not a stereotype like the stoic police hero in TV’s old Dragnet series, Duchovny added. “He’s not Sgt. Joe Friday. But you’d probably think Joe Friday was Joe Friday night� if you met him, said Duchovny, smiling. It’s a pun worthy of his wry X-Files hero Mulder, whom he’ll play again in a six-episode sequel set for January.
Duchovny, 54, hasn’t been kicking back while awaiting production on the Fox series. His debut album, Hell or Highwater, was released earlier this month — “I found out I was a musician really late in life� — and a second novel, after the well-received Holy Cow, is upcoming. At this moment, he was hawking his tunes. “You can order the album today and you can get the single, $9.99,� he said, teasingly. “Come on.�

Obituaries DIDRICHSEN, Finn Michael Born: Sept. 7, 1926, Sollerod, Denmark Died: May 21, 2015: Stettler, Alberta “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Proverbs 17:22)
Finn Didrichsen passed away at the Stettler Hospital at age 88 from kidney failure resulting from diabetes. Finn was predeceased by his parents, Hans Peter and Henny; his brother Ib; his wife, Mary Cecilia (Mac) in 2009; his son, Peter in 2014. He is survived by his daughters, Sara (Neil) of Stettler and Nora of Calgary, and his grandson, Andrew (Leah) of Calgary. Finn is also survived by his sisters, Lilian, Grete and Inge in Denmark and many nieces and nephews. Finn had worked at the Stettler Hospital as a medical orderly for 28 years. He also worked as an ambulance attendant/EMT for several years. Finn’s work was much more than a job to him. His greatest joy was to provide care and comfort to patients and, as anyone who ever met him would know, to make people laugh at every opportunity. Finn was born in Denmark and always remained a proud Dane and a proud Canadian. He always spoke happily of his childhood in Denmark and of all his family. Still, something akin to a spirit of adventure led Finn to first leave Denmark in his twenties. He and a friend moved to England and worked on a farm for a year and taught themselves English. Finn then lived in Scotland for two years working for a resort hotel in Dunoon. In 1951 Finn made the transatlantic journey to Canada docking in Halifax. Finn worked with crippled children in Collingwood and London, and in operating rooms in Peterborough . Finn then headed west, hitchhiking to Alberta en route to his intended destination of the Yukon. While meeting with an employment counsellor in Edmonton, Finn found work at the Aberhart Sanatorium in Edmonton. Finn was hired on there and treated patients with tuberculosis at the sanatorium in the 1950’s when tuberculosis was rampant. Finn moved to Stettler in the mid-1950’s to work at the hospital. At the time he was unaware that a nice single nurse from Ireland, named Mary Cecilia McDermott, had arrived at Stettler before him and was already working at the hospital. Finn proposed to Cecilia less than a year after meeting and the two of them were married for 50 years until Cecilia passed away in September 2009. As a team they were known in the community as simply “Mac and Finn.” After their marriage Mac and Finn resided in Stettler and raised three children. Ironically Finn passed away on what would have been their 56th wedding anniversary. Finn was well known in the community. In 1976 he was named the (male) Citizen of the Year for Stettler. He was president of the Alberta Association of Nursing Orderlies for about six years until his retirement. In his spare time, Finn enjoyed painting and he was an avid gardener. He liked to put out international flags around his home on special occasions. He was an Edmonton Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos fan even in the worst of times. Finn was an animal lover and most recently had two beloved rabbits, Spike and Smyke Finn had a wonderful singing voice, was a whiz cribbage player, a keen storyteller, and a natural born comedian. The family wishes to thank the empathetic staff of the Stettler Hospital who provided such outstanding loving care to Finn. The family also wishes to thank the staff and residents of Heart Haven Lodge who were so good to Finn during his too-short residence there. Finn gave freely to many charities. For those who wish to do so in his memory, Finn would encourage them to donate to any of their favourite charities. Funeral Services were held at Christ King Catholic Church, Stettler Friday, May 29, 2015. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.brennenfuneralhome.com.

Obituaries OLEKSOW Joe Sept. 4, 1931 to May 22, 2015 On Friday September 4, in 1931 on a farm near Ketchen, Saskatchewan, Joe Oleksow was born (along with other greats that year such as William Shatner and Anne Bancroft) into a world that was in the midst of the Great Depression, or better known to some as the dirty thirties. Joe was born at a time of devastating droughts, where unemployment reached close to 30% and farmers were especially hit hard by the collapse of wheat prices. This was also a time when a fine new house cost about $6,000.00, a hardworking man might make $1,800.00 a year, and where gas cost 10 cents a gallon and bread was 8 cents a loaf. Joe was the middle child surrounded by two older brothers and two younger sisters, and grew up working on the farm, rough housing with his brothers, teasing his sisters and getting into trouble with Jacob. At a time when schooling was not always high on the priority list, Joe stuck with it and completed grade 9 In the winter he worked in the lumber camps in Ontario and in the summer came back and worked on the farm. He also worked on the railways and in the spring of 1955 joined the oil patch in Virden, Manitoba. Joe always took great pride in his vehicles and used to wash his car down at the crick in Virden not far from where the love of his life lived. It was at an Easter Monday Spring Dance in Virden that Joe met Ruth Hawes. They married September 29, 1955 and had 4 daughters; Michelle, Carol, Debbie and Marci in 1956, 57, 59 and 61, and in late 1966 finally had that elusive boy - Joe Jr. Joe spent the majority of his career (31 Years) working for Imperial Oil starting in Alida in the latter part of 1955. Joe progressed within Imperial Oil and moved around Saskatchewan from Alida to Carnduff to Smiley and Dodsland, then moving to Redwater, Alberta in late 1969, then moving from Redwater to Red Deer and then to Swan Hills where he was affectionately known as Papa Joe at work. Joe and Ruth then enjoyed a short stint in the North West Territories in Norman Wells, moved back to Alberta to Swan Hills then off to Rainbow Lake, finally retiring in Red Deer in 1986. Joe was an avid big game hunter and fisherman and it was always a contest between Joe and his best bud John Thorlacious as to who could tell the taller tale or make the most haunting moose call. Joe also enjoyed curling, music and watching sports and animal shows on TV. Joe and Ruth loved dancing, going camping, attending all kinds of rodeos, and working on Michelle and Gerry’s farm. Joe was known for the waxed handlebar mustache that he sported for most of his life. He groomed and waxed that mustache like it was a 57 Chevy. Earlier this year when he got too ill to perform the daily moustache maintenance, Ruthie was entrusted with the job of shaving, trimming and maintaining his mustache - a job that he would entrust to no other. Joe loved his family, especially his “Ruthie”, and when the kids were young, he loved nothing better than loading the family in the car (no seat belts in those days) and going off for a Sunday drive in the country. He enjoyed regular visits from the kids and loved spending time with all the grandkids and their children. Joe took ill in the late fall of 2014. He fought the good fight, going through many tests and procedures, including a long hospital stay, but continued to grow weaker and on April 6th moved to Marci and Bryan’s where extra support could be provided. Then on May 6 Joe moved to the Red Deer Hospice where he succumbed to his illness on May 22, a time when a fine house cost upwards of half a million dollars, a hard working woman could make $180,000.00 per year, the price of gas had dropped to around $1.00 per litre and a loaf of bread cost $3.00. Joe was predeceased by his brother Paul and his sister Mary. He leaves to remember him his beloved wife of nearly 60 years Ruth, children Michelle Lawrence (Gerry), Carol Oleksow, Debbie Danyluk (Len), Marci Duncombe (Buzz) and Joe Oleksow Jr. (Audrey), 14 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, one great great granddaughter, his brother Sam, sister Marcia and numerous nieces and nephews. There are many people to thank through this journey but no words can express the family’s appreciation to the wonderful staff and volunteers at the Red Deer Hospice. You were a blessing to Dad and a comfort to us. Joe’s family will be having a celebration of his life at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer, on Monday, June 1, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. If so desired, donations may be made in Joe’s memory to the Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 3S6.

It creates an energetic disKRISTIN connect from FRASER the health you are in fact seeking. The health that you in fact already are. An ongoing reminder that thoughts create things, a truth now being proven by metaphysics, must be used in your creation of your own health. This is one of the
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
strongest, most effective tools I coach my clients through and it works not only in health, but in so many other areas of your life … an absolute must if you want to actually get anything you want out of life. “You already have inside you everything you’ve ever wanted or looked for elsewhere,” wrote Sara Avant Stover, author of The Way of the Happy Woman. When I tell people they are already the health that they seek, they think I’m crazy at first. But hang in there with me for a minute. Let me walk you through a few mindset shifts that you can use right now to start on your own path. Take a deep breath and start with a few shifts in your language. Here are a few suggestions: ● Shift: “I need to go to the gym” to “I am a gym monkey and I love working out.” ● Shift: “I can’t control what I eat” to “I make conscious choices about everything that goes into my body.” ● Shift: “I don’t know what to eat or how to make it” to “I know exactly
Simple tips to beat post-workout muscle soreness You know the feeling. You’ve put in a hard workout at the gym but are already dreading what your body is going to feel like by morning. Post-workout muscle soreness is something that plagues just about every gym-goer at some point or another, some of us more than others. But, with the correct knowhow, you can overcome post workout muscle soreness, or at least minimize it. CABEL Let’s go over some key tips MCELDERRY to try and you’ll be stepping out of bed the next morning pain-free.
FITNESS/FX
Don’t forget to stretch Stretching is something far too many people skip over, but yet something that will help you considerably. Not only does it boost your range of motion, making it easier to complete the exercises that you plan to do in each workout, but it also minimizes post workout muscle soreness as well. Take five to 10 minutes and stretch at the end of each workout. Your body will thank you the next day.
Take a hot bath Another smart move after a hard workout session is to go in for a nice hot bath before you head to bed. This will boost blood circulation, which in turn will help to increase the nutrient and oxygen delivery to the working muscle tissues. If you add some magnesium salt, that’s even better.

These will help relax those tight, tired muscles, allowing you to get back into the gym pain-free sooner. What’s more is that the hot bath may also help lull you into a deeper sleep, and sleep is imperative for the recovery equation.
Eat right post-workout What you eat post-workout can also have an influence on the level of soreness you feel. While you may not banish soreness with the right post-workout meal, you can jump-start your recovery, which will definitely improve how you feel. Focus on getting a lean source of fast acting protein in right after your workout, along with some faster-acting carbohydrates as well.
Don’t skip sessions Last but not least, make sure that you aren’t ever skipping workout sessions. While you may think that the fewer workouts you do, the less sore you will get, this is actually opposite. If you work out regularly, you will notice that while you may be sore in the beginning when you just get started, eventually that soreness subsides and you are actually less sore the more often you work out. This is also why introducing a new exercise tends to make you so sore. Your body hasn’t done that exercise before, so the resulting soreness is incredibly high. Over time, as you adapt to it, you won’t feel this same level of soreness any longer. So keep these quick tips in mind and you can do your part to put soreness behind you.

they went to the gym the next day and have been going ever since. Remember to watch your thoughts as you start this process — you may already be skeptical and shift right back into “This doesn’t work,” etc. That itself is just the mind playing more tricks. It’s an ongoing process, a daily one. To consistently self talk yourself back into “I am healthy and vibrant and all good things come to me” or “I don’t have to get this perfect right away — or ever.” If you are really far off track, give yourself a break and tell yourself it’s all going to get better from here. The letting go and surrendering to the health that you already are is a refreshing feeling. And in that refreshing feeling you will unveil more of the inspired actions that will keep you there.

Write that one on your wall. I’ve witnessed and experienced for myself over the last decade going from “I am terrible in the kitchen,” “I don’t like my job” and “I don’t know what to do with my life” to saying: “I am a happy, healthy nutritionist and natural foods chef who inspires people around the world.

Finding the secrets of the ESRD People are mystified that Environment-Sustainable Resource Development led all other government departments in the Progressive Conservative search and destroy rush to shred immediately following the recent NDP election win. Perhaps most puzzled of all was Premier Rachel Notley, but she did issue an immediate Stop Shredding! order anyway. Her people, particularly new Environment-Sustainable Resource Development Minister Shannon Phillips, MLA for Lethbridge-West, should immediately get in there and have a hard look at what remains and try to identify what has disappeared. Let me explain. Outdoors people have many derisive names for the SRD Department: “Unsustainable Resource Destruction,” for BOB one. My preference is “Sweet SCAMMELL Resource Deals Done.” For example, prior to the shredding bee, there should have been several files relating to the great “Potatogate” boondoggle of 2010-11. At issue was the top-secret proposed sale of almost 100 quarter sections, 16,000 acres, of public land near Bow Island to SLM Spud Farms 1317748 Ltd., a devout PC supporter, much of it to be plowed up, allegedly to grow spuds for potato chips. The Alberta Wilderness Association blew the whistle, pointing out that this large tract of native prairie grassland is known to be crucial habitat for a number of birds listed under the federal Species at Risk Act, including the burrowing owl, the sage grouse, ferruginous hawk and the long-billed curlew. Amid the uproar, SLM Spud Farms backed off and bailed out, but came back in when, in 2011, the worst SRD minister we’ve ever had, Mel Knight, opened the land to sale, but by public tender this time. More uproar. Then Alison Redford announced she’d kibosh the deal if she became premier. But did she? Potatogate just will not stay shut: the word is parts of it are still in play, but complicated by existing public land grazing leases and Cowboy Welfare surface disturbance payments on some of the land. Speaking of which, there might just be a scrap of paper left around their old office shedding light on why, a little over a year ago, former ESRD ministers Diana McQueen and Robin Campbell were reliably reported to be gravely concerned with the magnitude of oil and gas surface disturbance payments, Cowboy Welfare paid to public land grazing leaseholders instead of to the people of Alberta, the owners of the damaged land. Could that concern have oozed from the Calgary ring road file and the efforts of Ted Morton, one of the few good recent SRD ministers, to assemble public land to trade for Sarcee Nation land needed for the ring road? That involved cancelling public

What’s Remarkable About Red Deer?

Alberta Special Area native grassland: will the new minister move to preserve public lands? land grazing leases held by some of the historic, pure-bred herd bulls of Alberta ranching and allegedly paying these millionaires astronomical sums to compensate them for the future loss of oil and gas surface disturbance payments on the leases, which they should never have been given in the first place. The people deserve to know the details. Last Halloween, citizen Morton, no longer in government, but still very much an insider, excitedly told an Alberta Wilderness Association meeting that, before Christmas, a plan would be announced to stop letting public land grazing leaseholders have the oil and gas surface disturbance payments to the leased public land, and instead have them paid into a trust fund for the management, protection and rehabilitation, etc., of public land. The plan was never announced and Morton has not responded to tell me why. Maybe something left in the SRD offices holds the answer. Alberta conservationists, such as Alberta Fish and Game Association president Wayne Lowry, who works in Lethbridge, have high hopes for the new ESRD minister, Shannon Phillips. Back in the early 1970s when I was AFGA president, we had similarly high hopes for young Dr. Allan Warrack, appointed minister of Lands and Forests (as ESRD once was) in Peter Lougheed’s first cabinet.
Warrack, the best minister we’ve ever had in the position, noticed a very good idea repeated over and over (and ignored by tired old Social Credit) in the annual resolutions submitted to government by the AFGA, and promptly adopted it as his own idea; thus was the Fish and Wildlife Habitat Trust Fund created, which funded and inspired so many superb Bucks For Wildlife habitat projects in Alberta. That best-ever conservation idea of the PC government continues today in the form of the Alberta Conservation Association, funded largely from levies on hunting and fishing licences, The public trust for public land spoken of by Morton on Halloween is an even better idea, particularly for restoring big money to where it should go … repairing the environmental surface damage to public land caused by big oil and gas. Traditionally, in Canada, everyone steals good ideas from the “socialists.” Phillips should return the favour, salvage this one from the PC shredding pile, and bring a very good idea into force before our public land is totally shredded and beyond repair.
