Bear spray mayhem BARGAIN TREASURES STILL CLEANING UP AFTER CAN ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGES BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A week after a can of bear spray was accidentally triggered at Bargain Treasures, the after-effects linger on. The can was wrapped up in a foam sleeve amongst

a box of donations when it went off while being sorted on May 26. Ten volunteers, staff and customers were immediately evacuated and Red Deer Emergency Services called — and they sent in fire-medics in hazardous material suits. “We’re just really grateful that no one was seriously injured,” said Trish McAllister, executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association,

which oversees the volunteer-operated thrift shop at 5219 50th Ave. “We had a couple of people with a little bit of eye or throat irritation, but everybody got out safely. That was the main concern.”

NEIGHBOURS PROJECT

Home gets makeover for ill girl So often we measure a community by its physical amenities — its parks, neighbourhoods and facilities. But is it really anything much at all without the power of people, maybe with a touch of another power as well? For one little girl, who has been dealt the great misfortune of a fatal illness, and for her family, the community response seems like a bit of a miracle. Ten-year-old Katharina McGregor has Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC), a genetic metabolic disorder. Diagnosed MARY-ANN three years ago, doctors esBARR timated the Blackfalds child had only five years to live. There are just 500 cases of the disease worldwide. It stops her body from metabolizing cholesterol properly. Instead of gathering in the heart and arteries, the cholesterol ends up in her liver, spleen and, worst of all, her brain. As she becomes more affected, young Katharina will eventually lose all her brain function. Slowly she is becoming more disabled and now spends a lot of time in her wheelchair. If it weren’t enough to see your first-born child slipping away, her parents, Terese, 35, and Amory McGregor, 36, have been challenged by a few other setbacks. Terese has had back surgery. Amory was laid off from his oilpatch-related job, and only recently found work on a road crew. Unfortunately it takes him away a lot. The couple have two other children — Dominik, eight, and Jarrome, six. While Katharina’s illness is genetic, neither of the boys are showing any signs of having Niemann-Pick. Recently, the family learned it was chosen to be this year’s Neighbours Project — a community effort spearheaded by the international organization A Better World, based in Lacombe. The Neighbours Project will see the McGregors’ home undergo an extreme makeover, similar to the TV rendition, to make needed adjustments before

Katharina McGregor, 10, and her mother Terese and brother Dominik, 8, and Jarrome at home in Blackfalds. A Better World is helping to renovate the house to make it easier for Katharina to live at home. Katharina becomes more disabled. Project co-ordinator Ronda Ziakris says that starting on Saturday, over 100 volunteers will begin renovations. “It’s a heartbreaking story. So we go in hook, line and sinker for two weeks and get this done.” The McGregors will move out of their home during that time. The project will see an accessible bathroom built where the boys’ bedroom is now, on the main floor, beside Katharina’s bedroom. She will end up with a suite, with a Disney Princess theme. The boys will get a new bedroom in the basement, complete with a “really cool” Super Mario Brothers theme. There will be a main floor laundry built to make it easier for Terese who has difficulty with stairs because of her back. As time goes by, and Katharina gets sicker, the laundry will increase. The renovation will also include a lift. Ziakris said the lift was donated by an Edmonton family whose child recently passed away and who wanted to pay it

forward. “We’re thrilled. Lifts are very expensive.” In fact, everything is being donated for the project, which is worth between $50,000 and $60,000. The donations, including all product and labour, come from Central Alberta business and corporations. “Oh my goodness. It’s amazing. Like we have this thing that we deal with and it’s life, but a big, big stress has been: How are we going to get her into the house? How are we going to bathe her?” said Terese, a stay-at-home mom. “For them to come in and just do this is amazing. It’s life-changing.” Katharina is described as a happy, funny, amazing little girl, who loves playing video games, watching movies and swimming. “She’s doing well. ... She’s doing amazing,” says Terese.

Mental health pilot project awaiting word on funding BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

RED DEER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Red Deer Public Schools is waiting to hear if its successful pilot program to address student anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts will continue to be funded. In April, the former Conservative provincial government promised $5 million to 6 million to expand the local Resiliency program, also known provincially as the EMPATHY program. Current funding for the Grade 6 to 12 program in Red Deer ends on June 30. “We’re kind of at the 11th hour, maybe the 11th and a half hour. I still hope I will hear something within the next day or two. I have to give the govern-

ment a chance, and the minister a chance, to look into it,” said Bev Manning, board chair with Red Deer Public Schools on Wednesday. The school district needs $1.5 million to fund the program next year. The equivalent of 6.5 full-time staff operate the program, along with three other staff members who spend a portion of their time on the program. As of Monday, they were to take on different duties within the school district come fall. But there is still the opportunity to revive the program in September if funding comes through. On Tuesday, Health and Seniors Minister Sarah Hoffman released a statement that the previous

provincial government unfortunately committed to continuing the program without allocating resources in its budget. “We are strongly committed to improving mental health services for children and youth in Alberta. Our government will work with leadership in Alberta Health and AHS to review this pilot within the context of our overall mental health strategy,” Hoffman said in an email. The program was to be expanded to Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools, Chinook’s Edge School Division, along with school jurisdictions in Medicine Hat and Wetaskiwin in the fall. Resiliency was put in place after six teen suicides stunned the Red Deer area two years ago.

Drunk driver jailed for string of crashes

LONG WALK

Canadian war veteran Corp. Kate MacEachern, right, and her walking partner, Drea Popiel, make their way south on Taylor Drive in Red Deer Wednesday. MacEachern and her team have embarked on a three-month long journey across the western provinces from Nipawin, Sask., to Chilliwack, B.C., on foot and on horseback in an effort to raise awareness of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current project is a 3,100-kilometre journey over 85 days. Along the way, MacEachern will also be raising money for PTSD service dogs and Wounded Warrior Weekend. In 2012, MacEachern walked 576 km through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In 2013 she walked 1,864 km from Nova Scotia to Ottawa. Over the next few days, MacEachern and her crew will be trekking along the Hwy 2 south to Calgary. mental health association over the last 20 years. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

CLEAN UP: Shop closed for MCGREGOR: Doing better than expected the time being The toxic mess created by the powerful spray has kept the shop closed until a remediation company can come in and clean or remove damaged items. “Because of the toxicity, we have been advised that (the shop) be well cleaned and some items will unfortunately have to be discarded,” said McAllister. That is the best-case scenario. There is a small chance the damage will be so severe that the association’s insurance may not cover it all, which could mean closing the shop and starting anew somewhere else, said McAllister. The association hopes to know where it stands in the next few days. Bear spray is oil-based and particularly potent. If it got into ceiling tiles and carpets and they need replacing, it could prove costly. The association has been told by remediation experts that if a contaminated item is not cleaned properly, the bear spray chemical can be reactivated. “Even three days later going in there, we could feel it kind of tickling or burning and tingling on your skin. You couldn’t be in there very long without coughing.” McAllister said the incident serves as a warning. “I guess the message for people donating things is to be super, super careful,” she said. Bargain Treasures has served as a volunteer opportunity for hundreds of local people through the

In fact, she’s doing better than doctors thought she would. Her medications aren’t expected to increase the amount of time she has, just the quality of time that she has, Terese says. “She has good days and bad days ... all she really knows is that her brain won’t tell her body everything she wants it to do.” Katharina is difficult to understand when she talks because her tongue is slowly becoming paralyzed. She is in a regular class with a bunch of her friends at St. Teresa of Avila School in Red Deer. She has an aide in class. Katharina was tested for Niemann-Pick when she was two. It turned out to be a false negative result. It wasn’t until she was seven that doctors finally verified she had the disease. “It was a blow, but our faith is a huge part of it. We have very strong faith and we turn to God for our strength,” Terese says. The McGregors would not have been able to afford the renovations so they are very thankful for the Neighbours Project. “They’ve just completely answered all of our prayers.” Anyone who would like to volunteer can contact Ziakris at rziakris@abwcanada.ca. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Research published in the May issue of the scientific journal PLOS ONE by University of Alberta professor Peter Silverstone, who created the EMPATHY program used by Red Deer, showed significant decreases in depression and suicidal behaviour after 12 weeks. The number of students who were actively suicidal dropped from 125 to 30. More than 3,000 students in the school district were screened for mental health issues. Four per cent of youth identified as being actively suicidal, or at high-risk of self-harm, met with a resiliency coach within a few hours of the screening, their parents were informed, and they were offered a guided Internet program to help them address their problems. Of the 503 students offered the guided Internet program, 30 per cent took part and lowered their scores for depression by 28 per cent and anxiety by 12 per cent. Depression scores for all students dropped by 15 per cent while scores for anxiety dropped by 11 per cent. After taking part in the Internet program, students were re-assessed and, if needed, referred to primary care or a specialist. Junior high students were also offered a 16-week program aimed at building their ability to interact with other youth and to deal with day-to-day stress in a way that didn’t lead to low mood or anxiety. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

A series of crashes on 67th Street ended only when the drunk driver at the centre of the incident became stuck underneath a truck he had backed in to. On Wednesday in Red Deer provincial court, Daniel LaPalme, 51, of Red Deer said he was the driver of the car responsible for the crashes on March 29. He received a short jail sentence and a year driving prohibition. He pleaded guilty to one count of driving while having a blood alcohol content over 0.08 and failing to remain at the scene of a collision. The crashes started at the intersection of Taylor Drive and 67th Street when LaPalme drove in to a CP Rail truck that was ahead of him at the intersection in an eastbound lane. LaPalme then backed his car up and struck a car behind him. At this point, the driver of the truck got out of his vehicle and approached LaPalme. Prosecutor Maurice Collard said the truck driver smelled alcohol and said he was going to call the police. The driver also attempted to block the LaPalme from fleeing by standing in the way of his vehicle. However, LaPalme pulled away and struck the truck driver, bruising him. LaPalme pulled a U-turn and fled the scene west. At 65th Avenue, LaPalme crashed his car for a third time, becoming wedged underneath a truck he had hit. Collard indicated that truck driver some chest injuries as a result of the crash. Defence counsel Jason Snider noted the crashes were not forcible enough to deploy the airbags of any of the vehicles involved. Red Deer RCMP arrived on scene and two samples of LaPalme’s breath indicated a blood alcohol level of 0.10. Collard argued for a 30-day jail sentence and an 18-month driving prohibition, citing the erratic driving behaviour, attempted evasion and a prior conviction for impaired driving. Snider agreed with the 30-day jail sentence, asking for it to be served on weekends so LaPalme could maintain his employment. He recommended a 12-month driving prohibition, the mandatory minimum sentence for an impaired driving conviction. Snider said LaPalme realizes he should have stopped instead of causing more chaos. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Safety issues shutter pool BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

SYLVAN LAKE

Less than a day after reopening, Sylvan Lake’s Aquatic Centre has been closed again because of safety issues. An engineering firm inspecting the facility on Tuesday spotted roof structural issues that pose a safety risk. The new shortcomings are unrelated to problems with corroded support columns that led to the pool being closed for most of May. The facility had just opened again on Tuesday morning

when the decision was made to close the doors again shortly before 6 p.m. Town communication officer Joanne Gaudet said further upgrades were planned at the Aquatic Centre ahead of becoming a component of the proposed $33.5-million multiplex. But the latest findings were unexpected. “We knew that we would require some upgrading to the roof, but there was no previous indication there would be structural concerns in the

current state beyond the columns we just shored up. “We’re going to be seeking likely a second opinion on the structural integrity of the facility and looking to remediate the issues.” How long the pool will remain closed is unknown. If repairs drag on, the town may look to move swimming programs to other area facilities. A similar contingency plan for ice sports was put in place when one of the town’s two arenas collapsed in early 2014. Last month, $140,000 was spent reinforcing support columns, which had

Fundraising events support school food programs BY ADVOCATE STAFF Breakfast and snack programs for students in need at Red Deer Public Schools received a $15,000 donation on Wednesday from Build a Kid to Cure and Golf a Kid to Cure fundraising events. “Everything is better when they’re fed. It’s something proven over and over again that the kids will learn better. We feel if we can give back at this stage we’ll have great kids that will be well educated and behave better in class,” said David Wild, partner at Dominion Lending Centres Regional Mortgage Group on behalf of Build and Golf a Kid to Cure events.

BRIEF Calgary mayor sees little concern in New York about new Alberta government CALGARY — The mayor of Calgary says he has come back from a trade mission to New York optimistic about investments in his city and the province. Speaking while touring the Environmental Expo at City Hall, Naheed Nenshi said there were a lot of questions about Alberta’s new NDP government. But he said the people he spoke to didn’t seem particularly worried about Calgary or Alberta’s economy. Nenshi said companies remain bullish — not just about the oilsands — but also about natural gas and conventional oil. But he did add the government needs to move quickly on a royalty review.

That $15,000 means a total of $17,500 has been donated to the school district to be divided among 11 schools — Aspen Heights School will get $1,000, Central Middle School gets $3,000, Fairview Elementary School receives $2,000, G. H. Dawe School gets $3,000, Glendale Sciences and Technology School gets $2,000, Grandview Elementary School receives $1,500, Joseph Welsh Elementary School gets $1,000, Normandeau School receives $1,500, North Cottage High School gets $1,000, Ecole Oriole Park School gets $1,000, and West Park Elementary School receives $500. “There is a lot of questions right now about how our community is doing in terms of economics. We do know

that there are families that are having some tough times. This is one of the ways we can respond,” said Bruce Buruma, director of community relations at Red Deer Public. Normandeau School principal Hans Huizing said his school regularly feeds breakfast to about 50 to 60 students. He said the program will be expanded in the fall by developing a kitchen area in the school over the summer. “We do know that every single day a student has some food in their belly makes it a good day and it’s a good way to start the day,” Huizing said. Breakfast has been available at the school on and off for many years depending on funding and volunteers, he said.

That’s a promise Premier Rachel Notley made during the recent election campaign. “They’re saying, ’Look, we can’t put in hundreds of millions and billions of dollars until we run our numbers, and we can’t run our numbers until we have the royalty rates to slide in,”’ Nenshi said Wednesday.

The chemical was a combination of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which would cause reaction like a sunburn inside the body.

Edmonton dialysis patient readmitted to hospital after contaminated water mishap EDMONTON — Alberta Health Services says it is closely monitoring three dialysis patients mistakenly treated with contaminated water after a fourth patient died. Spokesman Kerry Williamson says one patient who was sent home from an Edmonton hospital has been readmitted as a precaution due to the death. The other two continue to receive care at Royal Alexandra Hospital. AHS has said a worker opened a wrong valve during regular system cleaning last week, and a chemical was released into the water used for dialysis of the four patients.

Conservative candidate won’t appeal narrow win for NDP in Calgary Glenmore EDMONTON — Tory candidate Linda Johnson will not be appealing a judicial recount in Calgary-Glenmore that showed her six votes behind NDP candidate Anam Kazim. Kazim will now officially become the 53rd member of the NDP government caucus. On election night the two were tied, but a recount by Elections Alberta put Kazim ahead by six votes and the judicial recount backed that up.

been rusted by the humid conditions inside the Aquatic Centre. The damage was spotted during engineering inspections being done as part of the preliminary work on the new multiplex, the NexSource Centre. Town officials say they are still waiting for more information from Associated Engineering to determine the next step and what repairs may be necessary. Updates will be posted on the town’s website at www.sylvanlake.ca. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Humphries excited to be Stampede marshal BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Two-time Olympic bobsled champion Kaillie Humphries traded in her helmet for a cowboy hat Wednesday as she was named parade marshal for this year’s Calgary Stampede. Humphries rode to the site of the announcement sitting in a bobsled on the back of a wagon pulled by two horses. She jumped out, removed her helmet and put on the hat as her name was revealed. “I’m the most excited about this. When I got the call I literally started jumping up and down and I almost peed my pants,” said Humphries, who grew up and trains in Calgary. “Through and through I am Calgarian,” she added. “Although I travel the world and do a lot of stuff, country music is really what I’m about. My family owns horses and I’ve grown up riding. For me to be able to be Stampede parade marshal is an absolute honour.” Humphries won the two-woman event at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and then successfully defended her title in 2014 in Sochi. Last November, she piloted a mixedgender team to the bronze medal in the Canadian four-man bobsled championships. “This I prize very highly among the rest of all the other major accomplishments,” she said of being named marshal. “Man it made my day and my year so much better. I don’t honestly think anything can top this.”

Precarious employment A FOREBODING PICTURE OF OUR FUTURE ECONOMY – AND SOCIETY I learned a new word this week: precariat. It was referenced in a news story I read on the CBC online news feed reporting that the world’s total jobless rate has passed 200 million, according to the United Nations. As it stands, we are told that fewer than one in four workers in today’s world has a steady, predictable and reliable job. Think about that: think about the insecurity of millions upon millions of families whose GREG welfare rests on NEIMAN part-time, oncall, sporadic employment, with periods of unemployment between cheques. Mix with that an alarming rise in child labour. Even assuming the numbers the UN study reported may not be completely accurate, it is unsettling. Welcome to the new environment of work in a globalized economy that has nearly com-

INSIGHT

pleted its race to the bottom. Welcome to the precariat. A bit of research tells us the term began to grow in usage following a 2011 book by British economist Guy Standing. His book is called The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class. The year it was published was the same year the Occupy movement was born. That movement brought the world’s attention to the inequality of income in the triumph of capitalism. (I don’t think you can call an economy “free market” anymore, when the majority of workers in it have little or no freedom within it. So the old term capitalist will have to serve.) But the concept of the “one per cent” or “10 per cent” the Occupy movement talked about is not just a theory. It’s a real, growing uncertainty for more and more people whose only asset is their labour, in a world where business owners feel no compunction against hire-and-fire tactics and the reminder that whatever anyone does, someone else more desperate can be found to do it for less. The connections carry forward from the book. Two years later, 1,129 Bangladeshi slave-wage garment workers perished

when their ramshackle factory caved in on them. Six months after that, 10 more were killed when their sweatshop factory caught fire. Their products have been profitably sold in stores everywhere. A year after that, when police in the U.S. were beginning to be accused of racially-profiled violence, academics began to pontificate on what America would do with its restless “excess labour.” These are people and entire communities where one cannot find a reliable sustained job, much less a career, no matter how skilled, unskilled or educated you are. To use another term: the precariat. Lest we think this is a problem for somewhere else, Wayne Lewchuk of McMaster University in Hamilton reminds us that precarious employment is becoming the rule in Canada as well. “GDP per capita keeps going up. The problem is we’re not sharing the wealth equitably,” he said in a news report. “In many ways, we’ve gone back to the 1920s.” Ah, yes, the 1920s. The good old days. The decade that turned into the Great Depression, where Canada’s “excess labour” ultimately went off to be cannon fodder in the Second World

War. A huge portion of Canada’s wellpaid careers are “gated” by professional associations that more and more require costly post-graduate degrees. The result is increasing job encroachment by aides, licensed practitioners, who will do much the same job, but for less money — or, in the case of intern trainees, for no pay at all. The threat, I believe, is not to the money economy, but to the social fabric of our country as a whole. A growing precariat must eventually become restless. The forces of law and order will need to use more and more brutal force to maintain the status quo. We may blame and distrust the police who even in Canada have been given the tools to spy on us, and even profile our very thoughts, but they are working for an elite whose luxuries depend on precarious labour. It’s not a very hopeful picture. But perhaps, one time in history, we will be able to use the information we have to create a solution to a problem, not just to learn to endure it. Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor. Follow his blog at readersadvocate. blogspot.ca or email greg.neiman.blog@ gmail.com.

But outside that room, many Canadians will ask why they should be asked to pay in 2015 for something that previous governments did in past generations. They will see many of the recommendations as symbolic. The commission has called on the federal government to adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, something to which the Conservatives now merely “aspire.” It wants a Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation, it wants Pope Francis to come to Canada within a year to issue an apology for the role of the Catholic church in the residential schools, it wants all levels of government to provide annual reports on the progress toward reconciliation. It wants the prime minister to issue an annual “State of Aboriginal Peoples” report. It wants a monument to the survivors in Ottawa and all provincial capitals and a national holiday honouring survivors and victims. They may see others as controversial — a change to the oath of citizenship to include respect for treaties

with indigenous people, a requirement that all law and journalism students in Canada be taught the legacy of residential schools and a requirement that medical and nursing schools make aboriginal health a required subject. Others will be rejected by this government: the call for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and restoration and an increase in CBC funding, the latter a nod to its vital link to the north and aboriginal languages. They will see others as expensive. But they must be done. Sinclair wants judges allowed to ignore mandatory minimum sentences for aboriginals and end the over representation of aboriginals in prisons over the next decade. It wants an end to the gap in education funding between aboriginals and non-aboriginals within one generation. Sinclair has reached for the moon, but he said he was writing for the future, “not just this government.’’ Since Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s historic 2008 apology, relations between his government and First Nations have foundered. Twice, Sin-

clair’s commission had to take Ottawa to court to force the release of documents relevant to its search for truth and the commissioner said Tuesday that “words are not enough.’’ For Canadians wondering why we must deal today with the errors of past generations, the short answer is because that’s what responsible nations do — they try to correct past wrongs. Romeo Saganash, an NDP MP who spent 10 years in residential schools and confronted his own demons from that experience, said it best. Saganash had never heard a word of English or French when he arrived at a residential school in La Tuque, Que. Shortly after his arrival, his father died but he could not return to his community to grieve. He wants Canadians to move forward with him. “We are all in this together,” he told the House of Commons. If this is the Canada we like to think it is, those words should ring true.

A problem we all share MATURE NATIONS CONFRONT DARKEST PERIODS Justice Murray Sinclair has shown us a way to a better Canada, a Canada we should all aspire to, a Canada we wrongly believe we already live in today. The chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Canada has reminded us that mature nations confront their darkest periods. They do not run from them, they learn from them and they try to TIM right them. HARPER And he has reminded us that the ugly legacy of our residential schools is not an aboriginal problem, but a Canadian problem. He is not demanding penance, he told an emotional ceremony in a packed Ottawa hotel ballroom, but is offering us a second chance at an equal relationship between First Nations and non-aboriginals in this country. But, what price reconciliation? His 94 recommendations — his call to action — include many that are controversial, certainly many that will be extremely costly. There were two ways to read these recommendations. One would be in the context of that room Tuesday, where Kleenex was distributed by yellow-vested volunteers as men and women wept listening to testimony from survivors on a video screen. One could read them as survivors were asked to stand, and one by one they tentatively rose from their seats, given long, respectful ovations that they accepted with a doleful stoicism. Commissioner Marie Wilson paid tribute to them for their “bravery and trust” in telling their stories and challenged Canadians to show the same bravery in reconciling the past. She spoke of the estimated 6,000 children who perished apart from their families, who were buried at schools that had cemeteries but not playgrounds, who perished in fires or were found huddled together in the bush, frozen to death.

BRIEFS

Make reconciliation with Aboriginal Peoples a ‘high, urgent’ priority: Sinclair OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper listened in silence Wednesday as the head of an exhaustive study of residential schools and their dark legacy urged all levels of government to make reconciliation and healing a top priority. The results of that study demands a political response, said Justice Murray Sinclair, the chairman of the Truth and Reconcilation Commission that was established in 2007 to document the tragic history of residential schools in Canada. “My fellow commissioners and I are convinced that for healing and reconciliation to happen in this country, such work must be done as a high — and, in some cases, urgent — priority,� Sinclair said. “And it must be done in partnership.� Harper and Sinclair were among a large gathering of politicians, commissioners, residential school survivors and members of the aboriginal community who gathered at Rideau Hall to formally close the commission’s work. Neither Harper, Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt nor Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq spoke at the event. “The nearly 7,000 people who shared and recorded their experiences and reflections with us have talked about the connections between their residential school experiences and many things that remain,� Sinclair said. “The rupture from home and family, and the inability to parent children and maintain the loving relationships, the mental, physical and spiritual abuses.� It’s the commission’s responsibility to share these stories, he continued. “It has been our duty to learn all that we could about Canada’s 130-year history of residential schools. It has been our challenge to share that history and legacy as widely as we could with all Canadians.�

partisan business. Justice Charles Vaillancourt heard Wednesday about another charity event organized by Conservatives in the Yukon in the summer of 2009. Two witnesses testifying by phone from Whitehorse pointed to Conservative Sen. Dan Lang as the person who initiated Duffy’s visit and participation in a widely advertised food bank fundraiser. The event raised $3,000 for the Whitehorse food bank, according to local Conservative activist Michael Lauer. The cost of flying Duffy and his wife to Whitehorse from Kamloops, B.C. (where he had attended another event), per diems and hotels and a flight home was $8,567. The day after, Duffy spoke at the Whitehorse Chamber of Commerce, but that event was planned after it was known he was coming to town. “Did your electoral district association arrange or pay for Sen. Duffy’s travel from elsewhere in B.C. up to the Yukon?� asked Crown attorney Jason Neubauer. “We were not asked for nor did we pay for his travel,� said Lauer, who is also the secretary of the Conservative party’s governing body. The economics of the events are not necessarily being scrutinized by the court. Instead, the focus is on whether Duffy was on legitimate Senate business, or simply attending party or family affairs with some meetings as a convenient cover.

Blackhawks draw first blood PAIR OF LATE GOALS GIVES CHICAGO WIN OVER TAMPA IN STANLEY CUP FINAL OPENER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blackhawks 2 Lightning 1 TAMPA, Fla. — Antoine Vermette knew the Chicago Blackhawks could come back in any game from playing against them in the playoffs. Teuvo Teravainen witnessed it from afar. In Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final Wednesday night, Vermette and Teravainen joined the party. Their goals less than two minutes apart gave the Blackhawks a come-from-behind 2-1 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena to take the series lead. Despite trailing for almost the entire game, Chicago kept pressing and stunned the young Lightning. The Blackhawks were far from stunned at what they accomplished on hockey’s biggest stage. “Great teams do that,” Teravainen said. “I haven’t been part of it many years, but I knew this team could do that. Any time if we’re back, just fight it back and play harder and get it back.” Teravainen’s goal came with 6:32 left in the third period on what Lightning coach Jon Cooper called a “seeing-eye single” through traffic and past goaltender Ben Bishop. The goal felt inevitable given the Blackhawks’ pressure, then Teravainen forced a turnover and got the puck to Vermette for the winner 1:58 later. It was the 14th third-period comeback in these playoffs. Old hat for the playoff-seasoned Blackhawks. “I thought we got better and better as things progressed,” forward Patrick Sharp said. “There’s a belief in our room that we’re never out of any game, despite the score and how it looks out there.” It looked bad for Chicago early, when the Lightning skated them up

and down the ice. The speed was tough for the Blackhawks to contain, and Alex Killorn scored on a highlight-reel, behind-the-back tip early to give Tampa Bay the lead. “I was just trying to sort of hit it towards the net,” Killorn said. “Not something you practice but lucky it went in.” The Lightning were 9-0 in these playoffs when scoring first, and they kept the pressure on until late in the second period. After the Blackhawks had a shot drought of more than nine minutes, the Lightning didn’t put one on the board for more than 13. It wasn’t the kind of attack-first hockey that got Tampa Bay to the Cup final. “Maybe we took the foot off the gas a little bit, sat back a little bit, gave them time and space with the puck,” defenceman Victor Hedman said. Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford stopped Ryan Callahan on a breakaway in the third to keep his team within striking distance. It was his most important of 22 saves, as Teravainen scored to tie it two minutes later. “I just know he was solid out there from start to finish,” Sharp said. “We’ve come to expect that out of Crow the past few years. I do remember the breakaway — that would’ve been a turning point in the game, makes a big save for us and we were able to capitalize.” The Blackhawks capitalized when Teravainen took a shot that went through almost a triple screen, then when he forced J.T. Brown to turn over the puck and Vermette completed the comeback. “Finding a way today is a good illustration of what this team’s all about,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “Finding ways to win, probably a good example of that tonight.” For the Lightning, it was a bit of a tough lesson in playoff hockey. Cooper was satisfied at his team limiting the chances against, but the exclamation point wasn’t there when it had to be. “We had chances to put them away. We didn’t put them away,” he said. “And once you do that, to me, that was letting them hang around.”

Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane tries to move the puck away from Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (86), left, and center Valtteri Filppula (51) during Game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final in Tampa, Fla., Wednesday. Letting the Blackhawks hang around is never a good strategy, something the Anaheim Ducks learned in the Western Conference final. The Lightning hope to rebound from this loss for Game 2 Saturday. “We have to regroup here,” captain Steven Stamkos said. “No one said it

was going to be easy.” Notes — Bryan Bickell, who was a surprise scratch for the Blackhawks, is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Quenneville said. ... Cooper again went with 11 forwards and seven defenceman, playing Nikita Nesterov and scratching Jonathan Marchessault.

Stephens, McDonald named athletes of year BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF As much as the Notre Dame Cougars Athletics Banquet was about honouring athletic achievement, it was as much about turning the page on an era. Female athlete of the year Cierra Stephens recognizes that Wednesday’s banquet put an official wrap on her competitive athletic career. Well almost, anyway, as she will be competing in shot put at track and field provincials this weekend in Lethbridge. But with a long educational career awaiting her at the University of Calgary as she goes after a bachelor of science degree with a major in anthropology, with the goal of one day being a doctor, sports will now take a back seat. But she will always remember her three years as a Cougar. “The friendships I’ve made and the relationships I’ve made with my teachers and coaches, it’s such a great atmosphere to be a part of the school sports,” said Stephens, who was also a finalist last year. “Instead of just doing your studies, you have practices and games or tournaments you go to where you make some unforgettable memories with the girls. I wouldn’t changer anything about the sports, I’m so grateful to be able to play them.” Stephens also received the se-

NOTRE DAME ATHLETICS AWARDS nior girls volleyball coaches award while also playing soccer, basketball and rugby — every season brought about a different sport. A constant for her through her three years was coach Ian Cierra Stephens Rattan who coached her in track, volleyball and rugby. It was a connection she shared with the other two finalists for the athlete of the year award: Autumn Letkeman and Chelsea Antonio. “I have to give a hand to all of my coaches, they really pushed me and I wouldn’t be where I am with out them, but especially to Mr. Rattan, he’s been with me for the last three years in three different sports,” she said. “He’s really grown as a person as well as I have and he’s honestly one of my good friends now, I can go to him with anything, not just sports.” Rattan did his best from siding with any of the three girls in the voting process, only to say any of them would be a fine pick. Losing those three to graduation will definitely be a difficult obstacle for Rattan. “Those girls are awesome, it has

been such a pleasure and a treat to coach them over the last three years and they will be missed in our program,” said Rattan. “It is kind of sinking in now but it is going to be interesting next year Keegan when sports start and they’re not here.” MacDonald He says Stephens was particularly coachable, always inquisitive and looking for reasons to methodology. “She wants to know why she’s doing it and how’s going to make her better,” said Rattan. “She was just a fierce competitor.” Keegan MacDonald is faced with a similar future of athletic unknown as the Cougars male athlete of the year, as he says he will take the year off to work and figure out his next step. Still, being named athlete of the year was an honour for the 18-year-old. “It’s been great playing with everybody, I’ve made so many friends and the friends I have made will last me a life time,” said MacDonald, thanking all the coaches who helped him along. MacDonald starred in just about every sport Notre Dame offered, also be-

ing named MVP of the boys handball team, collecting the boys basketball coach’s award and was awarded the Ross McClenaghan Award for his leadership abilities as starting quarterback. “I call the (McClenaghan Award) the three D award: Dedication, desire and determination ... because that’s the type of player Ross McClenaghan was. And (MacDonald) was the guts of our football team,” said football head coach and athletic director Gino Castellan. “I’m proud of Keegan and I think he deserved it.” He edged out football teammate Jesse Kowalchuck — who was named MVP of both the football team and rugby team — for the award. The two of them pushed each other constantly to be better on the field. “We were rivals all year for everything, he was right beside me the whole way,” said MacDonald. “I love playing with Jesse, I’ve grown up playing sports with him so it was great to share that with him.” The night wrapped up a big athletic year for the school, in which the collected nine zone banners and medalled provincially in handball and badminton with potential for more at track this weekend, specifically with nine athletes going to Lethbridge. “You can see from the banners we hung up on our stage, it was a great year, a banner year,” said Castellan. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

How Christine Sinclair has turned into Captain Canada BY THE CANADIAN PRESS John Herdman usually doesn’t speak to his team in the locker-room after games. The Canadian women’s soccer coach prefers to talk later, when heads are cooler. But in the wake of the crushing 4-3 extra-time loss to the United States in the semifinals at the 2012 Olympics, Herdman knew he had to say something sooner than later. As he walked though the tunnels towards the dressing room at Old Trafford, Herdman told team psychiatrist Ceri Evans his plan. “He said ’Look I think you’re right. Let’s script some things and make sure we get the message right, because you won’t get another chance at this,”’ Herdman recalled. As they approached the dressing room, equipment manager Maeve Glass came out. She was crying. “She said ’Look, you don’t need to go in there, it’s done ... Christine (captain Christine Sinclair) just spoke to the team in a way she’s never spoke to them before.’ And there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.” Said goalie Erin McLeod: “I get emotional every time I think about the

And Sinclair, who scored all three Canadian goals that night in a memorable performance, rallied her troops. “I just remember sitting in the locker-room at Old Trafford,” Sinclair recalled. “Just everyone was heartbroken, rightfully so. Myself included.

After a couple of minutes, it sort of hit me that three days from now we’re playing for a bronze medal. Just this feeling came over me that I had to say something to this team. “And I told them I had never been more proud to be their teammate. That the end result didn’t happen against the Americans but I’ve never been more proud to wear that shirt. And that if heading into London, somebody would have said ’You’re going to be playing for a bronze medal,’ we would have taken it in a heartbeat. And I’m not leaving London without one. “I don’t know. It just had to be said. Cool if it had an impact on people.” It’s typically modest Sinclair, who avoids the spotlight as if it was toxic. She likes to reduce her leadership skills to little more than leading by example. But her post-game address at the Theatre of Dreams sparked the team. The Canadian women picked themselves off the floor and went on to defeat France 1-0 for the bronze medal thanks to a Diana Matheson goal in stoppage time. The medal came 13 months after Canada finished dead last at the 2011 World Cup. Sinclair, who turns 32 on June 12,

was 16 when she made her Canadian senior debut in March 2000. She has long been the face of Canadian soccer but prefers to stay under the radar. She’s no ranter, says Herdman. She leads in a very subtle way. “And I think often the best leaders, they don’t say much but when they speak, people listen. Because they don’t say much. “And Christine works like that. She always says ’My leadership is in what you see out on the pitch. I lead by example.’ But she’s more than that. And I think what she’s developed in the time I’ve been there is knowing that her voice has a huge impact on this team and there are moments she has to step up.” In recent years, encouraged by Herdman, the intensely private Sinclair has opened herself to teammates. And by doing so, she has strengthened the ties that bind the team and become a true leader. Like all teams, the Canadian women run the gamut. Herdman’s squad has girlie girls, girls who like girls, tomboys and everything in between. But they are also family who live and play together for months on end.

STORY FROM PAGE B1

SINCLAIR: Mind, body and spirit Herdman has worked closely with Sinclair and a small group on the team on leadership, what it is and how it works. In Salt Lake, where Canada played the U.S. one month before the London Olympics, Herdman even had them research five female leaders and come back and tell the group who they could relate to and why. “So they were trying to figure out what leadership was. And it came right down to this group of women had never been vulnerable enough to promote a layer of connection where people could trust them. There had always been a guard somewhere put up — ’You don’t need to know this about me, I don’t want you to know this about me. “Christine. What is Christine. She’s

just this wonderful person who’s a great footballer who scores goals for Canada. Really? Let’s find out who the real Christine is, because once you do that Christine, that’s when your players are going to connect. And if you’re vulnerable, they’re vulnerable. And when everyone’s vulnerable, then you get a reality and a connection and an authenticity in your group. “And Christine made herself vulnerable in front of the group for the first time in her whole career.” The team then went to Switzerland for a final pre-Games camp. Instead of having the team go “100 miles per hour,” Herdman focused on “mind, body and spirit” to further the connections between players. “When she does (speak), it really is very impactful,” veteran fullback Rhian Wilkinson said of Sinclair. “She doesn’t waste her words. She’ll let other people take the lead in general but when something needs to be said, she’s the first to say it. And that sort of really started probably before Switzerland but I think that is when we saw her as the amazing captain she is.”

The Canadian team repeated that Swiss camp in Mexico prior to this World Cup. Sinclair, who has 153 goals in 223 appearances, has long been the straw that stirs the Canadian women. Herdman has worked hard to return that favour. He talks of the need to be 90 percent-plus. Giving 80 per cent is good, he says, but to win a World Cup at home you have to be in 90-per-cent-plus. “They did at the Olympics,” said Herdman. “To get to that level is not easy. It’s tough conversations, it’s a bit of adversity as well. It’s getting out of your comfort zone and being ready to push to another level.” Veteran goalie Karina LeBlanc says Sinclair lives there. “She’s doing that every single day. She’s not cutting corners. She’s not trying to cheat anybody. She’s just trying to make those around her better. That’s somebody who you want to have

as your captain. That’s somebody you want to play with ... I think she’s the perfect leader for us and for this nation.” The 90-per-cent-plus concept is part of the Canadian team tournament culture, with Sinclair a key cog in the Herdman team wheel. “My goal is that Christine drives her team to get the best out of themselves. Because when she did it last time, they got the best out of her.” Sinclair’s teammates cite her humility as much as her talent. Many speak of her in near awe. Playing with Sinclair is “my childhood dream every single day,” says forward Jonelle Foligno. “Just an inspiration to be with and play with,” adds 17-year-old midfielder Jessie Fleming, who says she has to pull herself back every so often just to remind herself she is on the same field as Sinclair.

Henderson looks to end Canada’s drought LPGA MANULIFE CLASSIC BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — Lorie Kane was the last Canadian to win an LPGA event back in 2001. Fourteen years later, her young protege hopes to end that drought on home soil. Brooke Henderson highlights a contingent of 10 Canadian golfers at this week’s Manulife LPGA Classic at Whistle Bear Golf Club. In her first season as a pro, the 17-year-old has already come close to winning a championship and ending Canada’s barren run since Kane’s victory at the Takefuji Classic. “We’re hoping to change that this week,� Henderson said in a press conference Tuesday while sitting alongside her older sister Brittany, who is also golfing at the tournament. A bold statement for a golfer who isn’t even a member of the LPGA yet due to age requirements. But the Smiths Falls, Ont., native — playing in this event on a sponsor’s exemption — has a right to boast. Henderson has made the cut in all five LPGA tournaments she’s played in since turning pro in December, including a third-pace finish at Swinging Skirts and a tie for 13th at the North Texas Shootout in back-to-back tournaments in April. This past weekend at the Shoprite LPGA Classic, Henderson pulled together a final round of 4-under par 67. If she can do that consistently over four days on Canadian soil,she has a shot at her first career LPGA win. “I’m just trying to be the best that I can be,� said Henderson. “(Brittany and I) know we still have a long journey ahead of us and we’re nowhere near where we want to be. In the next couple years, we both plan to be on LPGA Tour playing week to week and earning full status. Of course, there is a little bit of pressure, but it’s fun.� Kane has become somewhat of a mentor to the teenager since the two played the final round of the Manulife Classic three years ago. The veteran compared Henderson to a hockey goalie. “She’s a tactician,� Kane said. “I know I was watching the hockey game the other night, and I was asking Chris, my manager, I said, ’How do goalies’ see things? The puck’s coming at you’. So if she takes that mindset to the golf course b& she knows what she needs to do and she’s very zoned in on what

I think growing up and always competing against and with each other and trying to push ourselves to the next level, we sort of developed our own games but also developed each other’s.� Henderson never failed to make the cut at the Manulife Classic when it was in Waterloo, Ont., firing 10-under par in 2013 for a tie of 35th, and shooting 6-under last year to finish tied for 45th. This year she sits 69th in the Rolex World Rankings, and her

earnings of US$184,745 would put her at 31st on the money list if she were a full-time Tour member. That drive was something she instilled in herself as a young golfer growing up. “I wanted to be like the girls on tour, like Lorie Kane, Morgan Pressel and Julie Inkster,� Henderson said. “I wanted to be someone out there travelling week to week and playing against the best players in the world. “I’m very grateful now that it has become more of a reality. I don’t have my full status yet on tour and hopefully that will change as of next year.� Henderson’s star has risen dramatically this season and earned her a spot on Canada’s women’s golf team at the upcoming Pan Am Games in Toronto. “It’s a great honour, especially being the first Pan Am Games with golf,� she said. “And it’s in Toronto, pretty close to home and in Canada which I think is huge for both the game of golf and Canadian fans of all sports, especially leading to the Olympics next year.�

Buehrle tosses CG shutout, Blue Jays thump Nationals

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Mark Buehrle threw a six-hitter — his 11th career shutout — and the Toronto Blue Jays scored four runs in the first inning to close the interleague series against the Washington Nationals with an 8-0 victory Wednesday night. Buehrle (7-4) worked fast and effectively against the NL East leaders, needing only 93 pitches for his first shutout since 2013. The first four batters reached against Taylor Jordan (0-2), who made his first start this season for the Nationals this season with Stephen Strasburg sidelined. Jose Bautista, Chris Colabello and Kevin Pillar had RBI singles in the first inning. Bautista hit a solo home run in the eighth. Jose Reyes had three hits and drove in two runs. Bryce Harper went 2 for 4 with a double. The Nationals outfielder was named National League Player of the Month for May before the game.

Penguins owners hire Morgan Stanley to explore sale options

NEW YORK — American Pharoah arrived in New York on Tuesday to begin final preparations for this weekend’s Belmont Stakes, in which the colt will try to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978. After a flight from Louisville, Kentucky, and a van ride from an airport on Long Island, American Pharoah was quickly guided off the van in a steady rain and into Barn 1 at Belmont Park. A gaggle of photographers and news crews recorded every step taken by the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, who was easily identifiable from the other horses by his unusually short tail. Trainer Bob Baffert was on hand to supervise the unloading. Once inside, American Pharoah walked around the renovated barn several times before being led into his stall.

“This is Pharoah weather. He likes wet,� Baffert said. “He’s never stayed in a barn like this. It’s like he’s at the Ritz.� After getting settled in, Baffert’s crew planned to give American Pharoah plenty of water and his dinner later. The trainer explained that when it rains, a horse often won’t drink enough water and can get colic. Owner Ahmed Zayat welcomed his star horse. “He’s coming in as best as we could have wanted,� he said. “He’s doing everything right.� Temperatures were in the low 50s, unseasonably cool for June. The forecast calls for a break from the rain on Wednesday before showers return on Thursday and Friday. American Pharoah won the Preakness by seven lengths in the slop after a deluge hit Pimlico as the horses were going to the starting gate. The forecast on Saturday calls for partly sunny skies.

AMAZING SHOWROOM SPECIALS!

Pittsburgh Penguins co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle have hired investment bank Morgan Stanley to explore their options. The owners said in a statement Wednesday night they are in the middle of a feeling out process that could include anything from an outright sale to selling a share of the team or standing pat. The hiring of Morgan Stanley was first reported by TSN. Lemieux, a Hall of Famer who led the franchise to consecutive Stanley Cups as a player in 1991 and 1992, and Burkle led an investment group that purchased the team out of federal bankruptcy court in 1999.

B6 Wondering whether to cut ties

Dear Annie: When I was growing up, we were all afraid of my mother. My own kids recently confessed that when they were little they were always afraid of Grandma because they never knew when she would completely lose it and take it out on them. My mother seldom takes any interest in my kids except MITCHELL to find fault. & SUGAR When my teenage daughter recently went through a severe depression, I told Mom, thinking she might be understanding because my father committed suicide. Instead, she gave me a long lecture about all the things my husband and I were doing wrong. I told her she was

BRIEF Israel army scraps punishment for U.S.-born soldier who violated kosher rules with pork sandwich The Israeli military on Tuesday scrapped a punishment for a U.S.-born Israeli soldier who had caused a stink by violating the military’s kosher rules by eating a pork sandwich while in uniform. Earlier, the military said the soldier, whose name was not released, “violated rules and regulations,” which required him to be disciplined. The soldier was initially given an 11-day prison sentence. The punishment was later converted to being confined to base for the same duration — after relatives talked to the media and a lawmaker wrote to the defence minister about the case. But the military then changed its decision yet again, and cancelled any punishment. “We were wrong. The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) will continue to keep kosher on one hand, but will not probe a soldier’s sandwich on the other,” military spokesman Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz wrote on Facebook.

cruel and hung up. I thought she might apologize, but she never did. My husband and I moved across the country several years ago, but we still visit and stay at Mom’s house several times a year. We didn’t invite her to my children’s high school and college graduations because the kids said they’d rather not have Grandma attend. Because we already live so far away, I’m tempted to put an end to whatever connection we have. I think that would be best for my children and also for me. We have so many sentimental notions about grandmothers. I kept hoping mine would act like one of those, but it has taken me this long to see that she is not capable of it. Here’s the problem: I worry that my youngest child, who doesn’t know her grandmother that well, will think we deprived her of this relationship. My mother has shown more tolerance toward my youngest, saying this child is the only one who likes her. Should I keep in touch for my daugh-

ter’s sake? I feel terrible knowing that I was in complete denial about her when the older two were growing up. What if my mother can’t behave any better toward this one? — Worried Daughter Dear Worried: You live across the country, so this does not have to be an all-or-nothing solution. It’s possible your mother will have a better relationship with your youngest child, although you’ll need to keep an eye on it. Instead of cutting her off entirely, we suggest you try shortening your visits and having fewer of them. Once a year for three or four days is sufficient, and if possible, stay in a hotel. Mom sounds as though she could benefit from therapy, but you cannot force her to do that. You can, however, help your children understand that Grandma has issues of her own and sometimes doesn’t behave appropriately. Your kids are old enough to learn how to cope with her. And by the way, if your father committed suicide and your daughter suffers from depression,

However, if the parents of these children feel no obligation to collect, any deal is moot. The children are essentially stealing, and it is their character that is in question. It destroys trust, and I find it difficult to spend time with them, especially when I hear about what they bought with my money. — Smarter Now Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

THE ISLAND THAT NEVER WAS Rugged badlands, steep forested slopes, mesas and a variety of plants and wildlife are tucked away in one of Central Alberta’s hidden gems. Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park, about 100 km southeast of Red Deer, offers plenty for the whole family, including canoeing or fishing along the Red Deer River, picnicking and hiking. The access road to the park’s day use area is often closed during wet conditions because of the clay-like bentonite that can become very slippery when wet, making the roads unsafe or impassable. The day use area is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. from May 1 to Oct. 15. Over centuries, streams carved gullies in the earth as they flowed toward the Red Deer River to create the landscape. Over the years the gullies became wide and deep so that part of the prairie became a mesa or small hill. The mesa looks like an island, but because it was never surrounded by water, it became known

as Dry Island. It contains the largest prairie grass stand in the park that has never been disturbed by grazing or cultivation. More than 150 bird species have been spotted in the park, such as turkey vultures, golden eagles and belted kingfishers. A section of the cliff was used as a buffalo jump by ancient hunters. The provincial park was created to protect the site in 1970. Source: Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development

BRIEFS Sylvan wetland project gets $30,000 from RBC RBC has donated $30,000 to Sylvan Lake for wetland restoration. The money comes from the bank’s Blue Water Project and will be used on a wetland project at the Sylvan Lake Golf Course. A natural wetland on the course will be restored to better aid in filtering sediment and nutrients from Golf Course Creek before it empties into Marina Bay. The wetland typically fills during spring runoff or following heavy rainfall. During normal conditions, the creek stays within its banks and the wetland remains dry or at best semiaquatic. RBC’s Blue Water Project supports initiatives to protect water resources in urban communities.

Lacombe roundabout project ready by mid-July Lacombe’s first roundabout is expected to be open to traffic in midJuly. The city announced on Tuesday that the C&E Trail and College intersection will be closed from June 15 to July 13 while construction of the roundabout takes place. It will be big enough to handle semitrailers and include pathways for pedestrians and cyclists. Lacombe’s engineering services manager Jordan Thompson said that weather permitting the roundabout is expected to be ready for use by July 15. Additional work on paths and landscaping and final cleanup will continue into the fall. A temporary detour will be in place while the roundabout is built. The $1.2-million price tag will be covered by the Alberta government, a result of a special agreement to compensate for the closure of the 58th Street access to Hwy 2 at the northern edge of the city.

The roundabout is being built to accommodate future growth in the northeast end of Lacombe. Once a rarity in Alberta, roundabouts are catching on. Alberta Transportation is building a large one at Hwys 2A and 597, just south of Blackfalds, and the City of Red Deer plans to start building one at 30th Avenue and 67th Street this year.

Olds College grad class 100th in institution’s history Olds College celebrates its 100th graduating class on Saturday. The college accepted its first students in 1913-14, graduating its first class of three dozen students in 1915. This year, the graduating class has grown to more than 1,300 students. Ceremonies are Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Ralph Klein Centre Gymnasium. Olds College alumni Julie Calderwood is the honourary degree recipient for 2015. Calderwood is a longtime supporter of the college, having sat on the board of governors, chaired the Olds College Foundation and attended every possible college event. On Saturday, Calderwood receives her honourary degree on the same day that her grandson graduates from Olds College. Olds College is the largest agricultural college in Alberta. The college also offers programs in trades, fashion, business, land management, horticulture and other areas of study.

Chop shop plea entered; woman faces other charges A Red Deer woman awaiting trial on armed robbery scheduled for Christmas admitted guilt to a minor role in an Athabasca area chop shop as part of a plea bargain. Krista Marie Rix, 31, pleaded guilty to theft of an ATV, possession of a truck obtained by crime and failing to attend court in Athabasca. The charges were waived on Wednesday to Red Deer provincial court, where Rix faces charges including robbery with a firearm, forcible confinement, possession of break-in instruments and possession of property obtained by crime. Those charges stem from the Feb. 22 armed robbery of the

Eckville Hotel. Defence counsel Kevin Sproule entered the pleas before Judge John Holmes, while other charges relating to possession of other stolen property and firearms related charges were withdrawn by the Crown. Prosecutor Maurice Collard said Boyle RCMP became aware of a chop shop in their area on Nov. 17, 2013, while investigating a theft of diesel fuel from a rural property. They discovered a garage full of stolen items, including trucks, passports and firearms with serial numbers that were filed off. Collard recommended a sentence of 120 days in jail and an order Rix provide a sample of her DNA to police. Sproule, agreeing to Collard’s sentencing recommendations, noted that Rix has been in custody since her arrest for her alleged involvement in the Eckville Hotel robbery in early March. She had enough pre-trial custody credit to satisfy her sentence with time served. Holmes went along with the joint sentencing submission. Rix will stand trial in Red Deer provincial court from Dec. 21 to 23, 2015 on charges relating to the Eckville Hotel armed robbery.

Accused in insurance scam fails to appear in court A woman accused in a three-year fraud scheme, bilking thousands of dollars from Alberta Blue Cross, now has a warrant for her arrest after she missed her most recent court appearance. Noralyn Zadrozny, 43, of Red Deer was due to appear in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday on charges of fraud over $5,000 and using a forged document. However, she did not attend and Judge John Holmes issued a warrant for her arrest. The charges were laid earlier this year after an extensive RCMP investigation into massage benefits claims at Olymel in Red Deer from Jan. 1, 2007, to Jan. 30, 2010. Donna Nast, 41, pleaded guilty to her role in the fraud on April 28 in Red Deer provincial court. A massage therapist, Nast would create false receipts under the names of real massage therapists for employees at Olymel who were recruited into the scam.

These receipts would then be submitted with Alberta Blue Cross claim forms for a reimbursement of up to $500 per calendar year. The employee making the claim would then pocket 40 per cent of the reimbursement cheque, with Nast and an Olymel employee splitting the remaining 60 per cent. An internal audit by Alberta Blue Cross said 139 employees made false claims through the scheme. RCMP were only able to interview 44 employees and Nast only admitted to 35 claims totaling $17,500 stolen through the scheme. Nast is scheduled for sentencing on these charges on July 17 in Red Deer provincial court.

Bank robber’s sentencing delayed until June 23 Sentencing has been delayed for a Montreal man who pleaded guilty to robbing the 67th Street Bank of Montreal earlier this year. Patrice Gauthier, 56, was to be sentenced on Wednesday in Red Deer provincial court on charges of robbery, using an imitation firearm and wearing a disguise with the intent to commit an offence. However, the pre-sentence report requested by defence counsel Kevin Schollie has not yet been completed, and a two-week adjournment of sentencing was deemed necessary. Gauthier pleaded guilty to the charges on April 22 in from of Judge John Holmes. On March 14, Gauthier entered the Bank of Montreal and showed a clerk a spray-painted fake gun that was tucked into his waistband. He demanded cash and was given about $4,000 in U.S. currency and about $100 in Canadian. Gauthier will be sentenced on June 23 in Red Deer provincial court.

Correction: RDSO schedule A story in Tuesday’s Advocate contained some wrong information about the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s Evening of Jazz at the Lake. The joint concert will be held on Saturday, Aug. 15, at Centennial Park in Sylvan Lake, with the Brubeck Brothers, Cheryl Fisher and Eric Allison joining the orchestra. The next day, on Sunday, Aug. 16, the RDSO will be performing an outdoor concert at Bower Ponds in Red Deer.

ENTERTAINMENT

Pinball wizards

To hear the band tell it, Silverball coalesced with an unprecedented lack of hand-wringing or second-thinking. Arriving a brisk two years after Grinning Streak, the Gavin Brown-produced disc finds the band continuing its post-Page burrow into mellow, melodic pop. With an esthetic inspired by Robertson’s enthusiasm for pinball — he collects old machines and actually injured himself by overplaying the pinball incarnation of The Lord of the Rings — the new album was written in three weeks and recorded in roughly the same. “Every writing process for me has kind of been filled with some element of doubt or pressure,” said Robertson, 44. “That was absent from this process.... I just thought: ‘I’m good at this now.’ I don’t have to be worrying about the result anymore.” Decades into their career, they’ve similarly adopted a positive attitude toward touring. Where once the band members might have guarded spare moments of solitude carefully, Robertson now touts the moralebuilding potential of bonding over bike rides or tapas lunches. Though Stewart jokingly laments the increasing scarcity of “underwear days,” he also raved: “We made it a mandate in this band to have a healthy workplace in the last seven years, and that’s what we’ve done.”

TORONTO — With their 11th album, the Barenaked Ladies accomplished a first: a higher chart placement in the U.S. than at home. In 2013, Grinning Streak debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart south of the border, the biggest splash the Ladies had managed there in a decade. In Canada, however, the mature collection peaked at No. 12. As the veteran Toronto band prepared to put out a 12th record (Silverball) this week, they confirmed that they indeed see very different responses on each side of the border. “The band’s got a lot of baggage in Canada,” mused frontman Ed Robertson, seated alongside drummer Tyler Stewart. “(Here) everybody feels like they know the whole history, the whole saga of the band, and they really identify with the characters of Barenaked Ladies. “In the U.S., they know us from The Big Bang Theory theme song and they know us from all the TV shows we’ve been on down there. They go: ‘Oh, Barenaked Ladies, that’s that band with all those hits.’ “I would say,” he added, “it’s refreshing to go play without all that baggage.” Well, the quartet — slimmed from a five-piece with the 2009 departure of founding singer Steven Page — doesn’t seem particularly encumbered these days, regardless.

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

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

With Audéo V

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

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

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

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

FORMER NORWEGIAN FINANCE MINISTER LAUDS RESOURCE REVENUE HANDLING BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

OIL ROYALTIES

OTTAWA — A former Norwegian finance minister says Alberta’s new government should take inspiration on handling resource revenues from the same place her country found it — Alberta. “We were inspired by Alberta when we established our sovereign wealth fund,” said Kristin Halvorsen, who was Norway’s finance minister from 2005 to 2009 and led that country’s Socialist Left party in a coalition government. “But there have been many differences in how we established the fund.” Alberta’s new NDP government has promised to review how the province’s oil royalties are raised and spent. That includes a look at the Heritage Savings

Trust Fund, which was created by former premier Peter Lougheed in 1976 as a nest egg and repository for some of Alberta’s non-renewable resource revenues to prevent them from distorting annual budgets. It sounded like a good idea, said Halvorsen, in Canada for a speech at an academic conference in Ottawa. “These are revenues from a non-renewable resource and we should take care of those generations after us,” she said Wednesday. “Both the revenue from the oil and gas sector and the production are volatile, and we need some protection to avoid that affecting the budgets from year to year.” All of Norway’s resource revenue

goes into a sovereign wealth fund, with a percentage of the money siphoned off every year for government operations. The total value of the fund is about $1 trillion and Norway takes about $40 billion a year from it for government finances. That’s almost the size of the entire Alberta budget. Halvorsen said it wasn’t always easy keeping politicians’ hands out of the oil royalty cookie jar. “It’s always hard to explain why you can’t just use one more billion.” But she said there’s now wide agreement in the country about the wisdom of saving the money. “There is broad understanding that we can’t be that dependent on the revenues of the oil and gas sector. We got used to the idea that it was to our

own benefit that we didn’t use all this money in one generation.” Halvorsen said she didn’t want her remarks to come across as criticism of past Alberta governments. But she did make one request of Canada’s current federal government. “I hope that (Prime Minister) Harper can be inspired by the Norwegian example. In Norway, the Conservative government is fully behind CO2 taxation of the oil and gas sector.” Norwegian energy companies pay a tax on greenhouse gas emissions of about $70 a tonne, she said. The Harper government has announced it aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Critics have said it has no credible plan for how to get there.

DOWNTOWN MARKET

ECONOMY

Lowered expectations GRIM DATA TO START 2015 PRODUCES DOWNGRADED PROJECTIONS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Bleak numbers showing that Canada’s economy shrank in the first three months of 2015 have already created a torrent of downgraded economic projections on how the rest of the year will unfold. The falling expectations of economists follow last week’s news that the economy had contracted in the first quarter at an annualized rate of 0.6 per cent. That reading for real gross domestic product came in below most predictions, including the Bank of Canada’s forecast of zero growth, and could have political implications with a federal election less than five months away. The experts have wasted little time recalibrating their economic predictions for the rest of 2015. On Wednesday, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development sliced its average 2015 growth forecast for Canada to 1.5 per cent — down 0.7 per cent from its prediction in March. The Paris-based OECD cited weaker investment in the energy sector following the drop in oil prices. The country’s big banks have also lowered their 2015 real GDP predictions since Statistics Canada released the first-quarter data last Friday, with RBC and CIBC among the latest to unveil pared-down numbers. CIBC released a document Wednesday that contains its updated projection: 1.4 per cent, down from 1.7 per cent.

“We were already a bit on the lower end of the consensus and this is just really a further adjustment to reflect the stinging disappointment of the firstquarter numbers,” CIBC senior economist Avery Shenfeld said Wednesday. “The real issue is: does the economy pick up before the end of the year?” The first-quarter slide in real GDP, a measure of economic growth, has been blamed in large part on the oilprice collapse, the failure of other sectors to pick up the slack and weakerthan-expected growth in the United States. Some economists have also cited other drags on the economy, such as Alberta’s wildfires, coal production cuts and BlackBerry layoffs. Looking forward, several have pointed to the March’s dismal GDP number — negative 0.2 per cent — and the weak trade numbers for April as signs that suggest the economic struggles will continue in the second quarter. BMO, meanwhile, has also trimmed its 2015 real GDP estimate from 1.7 per cent, to 1.5 per cent. The bank’s chief economist Douglas Porter said if the average holds, it would be the slowest growth for Canada — outside of recession — in at least the past three decades. The experts’ adjustments are also rolling in as the October election date approaches, breathing life into the always-central political debate on the economy. This week, federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver has tried to deflect concerns over Canada’s poor economic showing to start 2015.

Ivanhoe’s global energy dream falls apart BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Early last year, Ivanhoe Energy was developing an oilsands project in Alberta, had partnered with China National Petroleum Corporation on an oil play in Ecuador, was pushing ahead with a proprietary heavy oil refining technology and wanted to build an offshore floating refinery. This week, those lofty aspirations perished as the company declared bankruptcy after failing to reach a deal with creditors. For over a decade, the company’s goal was to use a process that converts heavy oil to light oil for easier transportation and processing, which it spent $100 million to acquire in 2004. Ivanhoe had bought up heavy oil projects in China, Mongolia, Ecuador and Canada so it could put the

technology to use, and had even partnered with SBM Offshore to work on developing a ship-based refinery that would use the technology. But one by one, those projects fell apart. In 2012, the company decided to scale back its global operations, selling off its Zitong petroleum contract in China to Shell for $96 million and curtailing exploration in Mongolia. Flush with $170 million in working capital, the company turned to its 2,784-hectare Tamarack heavy oil project near Fort McMurray, Alta., and the 110,000-hectare Block 20 in Ecuador. By early 2014, the Tamarack project was bogged down as the Alberta Energy Regulator considered new regulations for steam-assisted gravity drainage projects like Tamarack. By March, Ivanhoe had suspended development on the $1.37 billion project and started

IN

looking for a buyer. In Ecuador, the company spent $70 million mapping Block 20 before deciding it couldn’t financing exploration on its own. The company struck a deal with the Chinese national oil company CNPC, and in April 2014 the partners made a US$2 billion development proposal to the Ecuador government. But then, according to documents filed with Ivanhoe’s trustee, a highlevel CNPC executive was arrested as part of a Chinese government corruption crackdown, and progress on Block 20 stopped. The deal fell apart, and by February Ivanhoe had laid off all staff in Ecuador and shut operations. The cost of severance pay for workers in Ecuador ate into the company’s dwindling cash reserves, and the company missed a $2.1 million interest payment to the Bank of New York Mellon.

Preventable injuries cost economy billions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Preventable injuries kill dozens of Canadians every day and cost the country’s economy billions of dollars, says a new report released Wednesday. The report by Parachute, a group focusing on injury prevention, examined all injuries across the country in 2010. Preventable injuries were responsible for about 43 deaths a day and were the top cause of death among Canadians aged 1 to 44, the report said. They also claimed the lives of more children than all other causes. Injuries such as falls, drowning and transport accidents drained $27 billion from the economy. “The simple fact is almost all of

TSX:V 691.45 +2.20

these injuries and deaths could have been prevented,” the report said. In 2010, preventable injuries in Canada resulted in: ● 15,866 deaths ● 231,596 Canadians hospitalized ● Nearly 3.5 million emergency room visits ● More than 60,000 Canadians either partially or permanently disabled ● $15.9 billion in direct health-care costs ● $26.8 billion in total economic costs (including costs related to reduced productivity from hospitalization, disability and premature death) Falls were the top preventable injury and the biggest drain on the economy accounting for $6.7 billion or 42 per cent of direct costs of injury. Suicide and transport accidents

were the leading cause of indirect costs of injury, both accounting for $2.1 billion. Parachute said the data shows that the preventable injuries’ cost and death toll have continued to rise since 2010, and the group forecasts an economic impact of $33 billion and a daily death toll of 46 people for 2015. The numbers will continue to increase, the report said, without active steps to reduce Canada’s preventable injury rate. “The good news is that the vast majority of the injuries described in this report are both predictable and preventable,” the report concludes. “It is time to take comprehensive, effective action that will prevent injuries and save lives.”

The store is operated by franchisees Scott and Mandy Wigley. The location will be the 23rd COBS Bread bakery in Alberta. The company also has stores in B.C., Saskatchewan and Ontario. It sells traditional and artisan breads, as well as treats such as scones, croissants and Danishes. Products are baked fresh every day and what doesn’t sell at the end of each day is donated to local charities.

Average net worth of Canadian families climbed Statistics Canada says the average net worth of Canadian families rose 73 per cent between 1999 and 2012 after adjusting for inflation. The federal agency says average net worth increased to $554,100 from $319,800 over the period with higher-income families outpacing the average. The top 20 per cent of families by income saw their average net worth rise 80 per cent between 1999 and 2012, climbing from $721,900 to $1,300,100. However, the bottom 20 per cent of families by income saw their average net worth rise by 38 per cent from $79,500 to $109,300.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 49.94 points at 15,154.68, with gains in seven of the index’s 10 subsectors. Two positive indicators south of the border buoyed U.S. markets. Payroll processor ADP said that the U.S. economy added 201,000 jobs in May, up from 165,000 in the previous month. The U.S. trade deficit, considered a drag on economic growth in the first three months of the year, shrank by 19 per cent in April. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 138.13 points at 18,150.07, the Nasdaq index rose 33.97 points to 5,110.49, and the S&P 500 advanced 10.36 points to 2,119.96. Canada’s trade deficit narrowed to $3 billion in April, much larger than the $2.1 billion analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had predicted but an improvement from the previous month’s record high.

The spectre of European deflation was worrying global markets, he said, but the threat seems to be receding as Spain, Italy, France, and others posted positive first-quarter GDP growth.

The Molson Coors brewery is seen Wednesday, in Montreal. $1.62 to US$59.64 a barrel. Rashkowan said oil seems to be stuck in a trading range between $50 and $60 a barrel as worldwide production remains high and the OPEC oil cartel shows no sign of slowing the pace of extraction. The August gold contract fell $9.50 to US$1,184.90 an ounce. Rashkowan said gold too appeared to be moving sideways around a value of $1,200 as investors consider the prospects for growth in the American economy. The market seemed to be ignoring Greece’s Friday deadline for a 300 million euro debt payment, Rashkowan said, with traders betting that a last-minute deal will be reached to avoid bankruptcy or the country’s exit from the euro currency. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close of Wednesday at world financial market trading. Stocks: S&P/TSX Composite Index — 15,154.68, up 49.94 points Dow — 18,076.27, up 64.33 points S&P 500 — 2,114.07, up 4.47 points Nasdaq — 5,099.23, up 22.71 points Currencies: Cdn — 80.30 cents US, down 0.29 of a cent Pound — C$1.9093, up 0.61 of a cent Euro — C$1.4038, up 2.10 cents Euro — US$1.1273, up 1.29 cents

ports fell faster than exports for the month, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. The April deficit was much bigger than the $2.1-billion deficit that economists had estimated, according to Thomson Reuters, but it was an improvement over the previous month. Statistics Canada revised its estimate for March to show a record deficit of $3.9 billion, compared with an initial reading of $3 billion. BMO Capital Markets senior economist Benjamin Reitzes noted Canada’s trade position improved in April, but

Molson Coors aims to grow ’craft’ and flavoured beer MONTREAL — Molson Coors wants to expand its portfolio of “craft” and flavoured beers in Canada to fend off the struggles facing its core brands and attempts to lure new consumers who have been drinking other alcoholic beverages. “The challenge for the beer industry is to make sure beer remains interesting, relevant, contemporary -- and whether that’s traditional beers with traditional flavour profiles or new beers with new interesting flavour profiles, that’s our job,” new CEO Mark Hunter said Wednesday following the company’s annual meeting. He said Molson Coors, the world’s fifth-largest brewer, is considering importing some of its international microbrewery beer brands to Canada, including Britain’s Sharp’s and Worthington. While Molson Coors is open to acquisitions, tax breaks for small Canadian brewers make such buys less attractive, Hunter said in an interview. Although its core brands remain the engine of Molson Coors’ sales and profits, Hunter said the company has a strong global craft portfolio led by Blue Moon in the United States -- partially brewed in Montreal -- Sharp’s and Ireland’s Franciscan Well. In Canada, it relies mainly on Ontar-

io’s Creemore Springs and Granville Island Brewing of British Columbia. Ontario Craft Brewers said craft beers have been the fastest growing beer category in the province, expanding by more than 10 per cent annually, reaching $250 million in sales in 2013. The group defines craft beers as being made by small, independent and locally owned brewers that use traditional methods and natural ingredients. Grapefruit-flavoured beer and brew cut with natural fruit juices are hot in Europe, and Hunter said the Canadian consumer is also interested in citrus and apple-flavoured varieties. Beer remained the most popular alcoholic beverage in Canada last year, but it continued to lose ground to wine and spirits, according to Statistics Canada. Beer sales were flat at $8.9 billion last year while ciders, coolers and other refreshment beverages grew 9.5 per cent to $693 million. Wine sales were up 2.3 per cent to $6.4 billion while spirits grew by 0.5 per cent to $4.8 billion. Molson Coors chairman Geoff Molson told shareholders that although beer remains the most popular alcoholic beverage in North America, consumers want something different than their predecessors. “This evolution requires that we continually reinvent ourselves. We have no choice but to be innovative if we want to remain leaders,” he said.

added the size of the deficit was concerning. “On the bright side, there should be some improvement over the coming months, with oil prices rising modestly and U.S. demand expected to improve,” Reitzes said. “But if that U.S. strength doesn’t materialize, these numbers might be suggesting that the loonie needs to weaken even further to narrow Canada’s trade deficit.”

The disappointing April trade data follows a report by Statistics Canada last week that the Canadian economy contracted at an annual pace of 0.6 per cent in the first quarter compared with the Bank of Canada’s prediction of no change for the first three months of the year. TD Bank economist Brian DePratto said the April trade data provided an early indication of how the second quarter of the year may shape up.

THOMPSON Olive Madeline Thompson went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on May 28, 2015 at the age of 95. Olive was born in Scollard, Alberta on November 16, 1919 to Rufus and Laura Thomas. She had three brothers and two sisters and is survived by her brother, Bud Thomas. Olive married Jim Thompson on October 30, 1940 and from that day their lives were inseparable. They initially farmed in the Rumsey area before moving to Pincher Creek where Jim worked for Alberta Gas Trunkline. Golfing, tennis and an active lifestyle were always important to them. Olive enjoyed crafts, cooking and playing cards. Above all, family was always the focus of their lives. Jim and Olive enjoyed their retirement years in Victoria Park, as well as their winters in Arizona. Olive will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 74 years, Jim Thompson, their four children and their families - Cliff (Agnes) Thompson, Doug (Beth) Thompson, Linda (George) Capton, Stan (Nancy) Thompson. Olive was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother whose heart was for her family. She leaves a legacy of love and commitment and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

JUCKES Anthony (Tony) Gordon (1938 - May 26, 2015) Born in Bridgnorth, England, Tony was an active lad who enjoyed sports, particularly soccer, and he served in the Territorial Army. He married his wife Jean on April 20, 1963, and they moved to Canada with their two young children in 1967. They settled in Red Deer where Tony worked as a surveyor until he started farming in the Red Deer, Penhold, and Lacombe area. He went on to sell real estate and life insurance, and even spent some time in publishing. In 1993 he moved to the High Level area and began grain farming there. Later on, he started a public transportation company, Northern Express Bus Line. Tony and Jean shared over 52 years of their lives together and shared many wonderful memories. He was a very gentle, calming, kind, and devoted man who enjoyed reading, camping, and most of all, spending time with his family. He will be forever missed by his loving wife and family, as well as all who knew him. Tony is survived by his wife of 52 years, Jean; his children Simon (Debbie) Juckes and grandchildren Josh and Ashlynn; Amanda (Warren) Dunfield and grandchildren Kimberly (Brad), Alicia (Joey), and Kylee; Joanne (Brendon) Jenner and grandchildren Tyson, Ryan, And Wyatt; and Jason (Heather) Juckes; his siblings Sheila (John) Nott; Daphne (Nigel) Montandon; Rod (Annette) Juckes, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Violet and Thomas Juckes and his mother-in-law Ivy Muggleton. The family will be holding a private memorial for Tony at Jean and Tony’s family home. An open house/luncheon will be held at the Legion Hall in High Level on Thursday, June 4, 2015 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be directed to support the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute c/o University Hospital Foundation 1H1.91 WMC, 8440-112 St NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 2B7 www.givetomaz.ca Care entrusted to BEAR CREEK FUNERAL HOME Grande Prairie 780-830-7742 www.bearcreekfuneral.com

OTTAWA — As Michael Zehaf Bibeau ran towards the Centre Block last Oct. 22, the RCMP had more than one chance to stop him. An officer in a cruiser could have blocked Zehaf Bibeau’s path to the Centre Block but for a woman pushing a stroller who tried to jump into the car for safety. A radio alert that a gunman was on Parliament Hill was so garbled that no one understood it. And the majority of security forces are stationed inside the Parliament Buildings, not outside. None of the officers stationed on the grounds stopped the gunman before he got through the doors, the result, the RCMP say, of systemic security issues, not human error. “There is nobody from our perspective that is to blame for this,” said RCMP assistant commissioner Gilles Michaud. He added no one has been disciplined for their actions on Oct. 22. Yet the events from last October remain a “grim reminder that Canada is ill-prepared” to stop terrorist attacks, with the RCMP suffering a lack of “planning, training and resources” to protect the Parliament buildings, a long-awaited Ontario Provincial Police report says. The report, one among several released Wednesday, says the RCMP’s ability to protect Parliament Hill has been stretched by resource issues stemming from budget cuts imposed in 2012 by the Conservative government. “Fortunately,” the report says, “the attacker was unorganized.”

VANCOUVER — An elaborate undercover RCMP operation is expected to be heavily scrutinized as a British Columbia court prepares to hear whether police abused their authority by entrapping a couple found guilty of a legislature bomb plot, says a legal expert. Simon Fraser University criminology professor David MacAlister said John Nuttall and Amanda Korody face an uphill battle in convincing the court they would not have carried out their thwarted attack at the provincial legislature without help from police. Nuttall and Korody were accused of planting homemade pressure-cooker bombs on the legislature grounds on Canada Day two years ago. Jurors found them guilty on Tuesday after three days of deliberations, but the

judge refrained from registering their convictions until the entrapment arguments are heard in court. Entrapment is a relatively rare defence that arises when police go beyond providing suspects with an opportunity to commit a crime and actually encourage the offence, said MacAlister, describing it as an abuse of process. He said that in deciding whether police entrapped Nuttall and Korody, the court will consider a number of different factors including the nature of the crime, the persistence of the officers involved and the type of inducements they used. “Were they deceiving the people? Were they using fraud or tricks? Or were they offering rewards giving such as money?” MacAlister said. Whether police fostered a friendship, which they then exploited, is also a consideration, he added.

Had Michael Zehaf Bibeau been better prepared, “the end results could have been much worse with the likelihood of many more casualties” and “devastating results.” The details in the OPP report provide a graphic account of Zehaf Bibeau’s attacks, the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and the dramatic takedown inside the Centre Block that ended with the sergeant-at-arms in a sitting position emptying his gun’s magazine as Zehaf Bibeau crumpled to the floor. Zehaf Bibeau fired one shot into Cirillo’s back from about three metres away as Cirillo stood guard at the National War Memorial, just off Parliament Hill. Cirillo fell on his hands and knees and crawled away. Zehaf Bibeau then fired another shot into Cirillo’s back. Cirillo got to the east side of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where he lay prone on his stomach. “Zehaf Bibeau moved towards the fallen soldier and fired a third and final shot into the back of Cpl. Cirillo,” the report says. Zehaf Bibeau turned towards the Langevin Block, which houses the Prime Minister’s Office, and yelled “Iraq.” He then ran towards Parliament Hill as bystanders struggled unsuccessfully to save Cirillo’s life. A tourist pushing a stroller saw Zehaf Bibeau run onto the Hill and warned a Mountie sitting in a cruiser near the East Block. The woman tried to get into the back seat of the cruiser and delayed the officer long enough that Zehaf Bibeau drove by in a commandeered vehicle. Michaud said that Zehaf Bibeau wouldn’t have made it to the Centre Block without that car.

D4 OUTDOORS An ode to June

THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2015

It’s tough to praise the coming of June properly on the second last day of a cold and dry May with winds constantly playing drought dirges on sinuses like the painful pipes of Pan. This will be an ode to Junes past, good, bad, outright horrible, but always interesting, all aspects of the month I’d choose if you rationed me to one to spend outdoors in Alberta. We await the much-needed moisture of the annual June monsoon, pacing it on longrange forecasts as they taunt us with predicted 80 per cent chances of rain days that stay just ahead of us until they disappear altogether. Some Junes we do not get the monsoon at all; some years it never ends and, fortunately rarely, it is of historic force. This year is the 10th anniversary of the worst June monsoon most of us, with any luck, will ever remember. June 19, BOB 2005, was the kind of day poet SCAMMELL James Russell Lowell praised: “And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days.” So perfect that I headed west to try for my annual Father’s Day fish, but the day soon became rare because the annual mountain snow melt had collided with two days of torrential rains in the headwaters. The Red Deer River valley at the Penhold Bridge on Hwy 592 was a brown lake, bridge traffic cautiously reduced to one vehicle at a time. At the viewpoint above the Dickson Dam, the crowd oohed and awed over 10-metre standing waves at the foot of the spillway. Just as I started for home, a lifelong resident of my Stump Ranch’s area cellphoned to suggest I come out anyway to see what I’d never see again. I hope so. “They” dubbed this monsoon the “200-year flood.” The Clearwater River had pushed Clear Creek backwards into the North Raven, and the resulting lake was running over Hwy 54 at Raven. Prairie Creek was close to running over the bottom two bridges. In the bright sunshine, golden stoneflies were dying trying to deposit their eggs on the chocolate torrent. Both my creekside hayfields had become moving lakes, with the tops of the fence posts barely surfacing. At the cabin, safely on very high ground, the rain gauge had overflowed at 10 inches in two days. Fisheries biologists tell me it takes at least eight years for the aquatic insects and the trout in a stream to recover from a disaster like June, 2005; maybe more when it was preceded by the “Flood of the Century” in 2000. So it is encouraging when Prairie Creek regulars, two weeks ago, started reporting decent flights of salmon flies and the much smaller skwala stoneflies before their hatch-indicating chokecherries were in bloom. Even better, they were reporting taking some big old brown and bull trout from very low, clear water. These anglers are now watching for the streamside wild roses to bloom and the golden stonefly hatch that predicts. Possibly the best day I had in my more than 50 years of fishing Prairie frequently was June 10, 2000, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when, recover-

Golden stonefly on wild rose. ing from bypass surgery six months earlier, I plumb tuckered out from wading fast water and catching dozens of big brown trout eating my favourite golden stonefly imitation, my version of the Le Tort Hopper, yellow-bodied, sizes 8 or 10. But you soon learn that June is not only about the linked progression of wildflowers, aquatic insect hatches, and good fishing. The renewal of life is to be seen in June along rivers and streams. One June, I turned and looked downstream to see, swimming across, the largest black bear sow I have ever seen and her three tiny black dots of cubs. Their numbers are nowhere near what they once were out here, so I am always delighted in June to see the drama of the wounded ruffed grouse hen act when she tries to draw me away from her dozen fluff ball chicks. There were places out here with nine feet of snow

on the level in the winter of 2013. Thousands of deer died. So I will enjoy the does in June showing off their new fawns, or, like ruffed grouse hens, trying to lure me away from them. One perfect June morning along the Clearwater River years ago, a doe jumped high up ahead, then stomped slowly away, white tail waving me on. I got her jump on yet another of my too-many new cameras, then nearly stepped on her fawn cached in the grass eyeing a dandelion fluff ball. I backed out of there and went fishing on the upper South Raven. That afternoon we were rewarded with the blowing-in of that year’s much- needed June monsoon and the blowing out of rivers and streams for the rest of the month.

Put currants, gooseberries in garden Lyndon Penner, who is a regular on CBC Calgary, was a guest speaker at the Red Deer and District Garden Club. He is touring to promote a new book on gardening design, but on this particular evening he spoke on currants and gooseberries. Penner likes these plants as they are dual purpose: they are attractive and produce food. Currants and gooseberries form small compact bushes that are approximately three feet by three feet (one metre by one metre). Currants develop long strands of attractive berries as soon as the flowers begin to fade in early spring. LINDA Gooseberry fruit is solitary TOMLINSON and mature at the end of the season after a light frost. Both plants have attractive green leaves in the summer that change into bright yellow or red in the fall, depending on variety. New varieties have been introduced with larger

GARDENING

berries with improved taste. Currants are divided by the colour of the fruit: black, red and white. Gooseberries form singular berries that turn dark when ripe. Lyndon suggested that black currants be used in recipes to replace blueberries and blackberries, while red currants can replace rhubarb in pies. Currants and gooseberries both make great jelly. Plant the bushes in an area that will get at least six hours of sunlight a day. Do not use as hedges as both currants and gooseberries tend to get mildew if grown close together. Sawflies can be a problem with both currants and gooseberries. The flies lay eggs under the leaves. The eggs hatch into worms or maggots, which defoliate the shrubs. Sawflies will not kill the plants but they do cause them to drop their fruit. Currant fruit fly was not mentioned by Lyndon but it can be a problem with currants and gooseberries. The fly will lay one egg per berry. After five to eight days, the larva hatches and eats the seed within the fruit. Fruit will mature early and fall to the ground, where the larva emerge and burrow into the ground,

overwintering as cocoons to emerge as flies the following spring. The best method to rid the bushes of insects is to break the cycle. Once established, the plants are drought resistant. But as with any fruit, they are sweeter if they have received ample amounts of moisture during the growing season. If the fruit is not harvested or protected, it will attract birds into the yard. For those who wish to venture into larger fruit, Penner suggested growing any of the cherries that have been developed by the University of Saskatchewan. Expect the bushes to die back for a number of years until they become established. Once established, they will form an attractive small tree. Penner’s favourite apples are Honey Crisp or September Ruby. He told the audience to expect winter dieback with Honey Crisp trees until the tree becomes established. There are a number of attractive, fruiting plants that can be grown on the prairies. Use the plants to help develop an attractive and productive landscape.

Causes and effects in resource development “Part of the reason we collect such low royalties is that we’ve allowed development to proceed quickly, and this has led to rapid inflation in wages, housing values and other impacts on wealth in Alberta and elsewhere, while, in turn, reducing the value of the resources as they’re more costly to extract.” — Andrew Leach, energy policy professor at the University of Alberta I’ll admit that I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to economics, so I had to re-read the quote above a few times. But I gather it means that when a province allows the extraction of a valuable resource to proceed at lightning speed, the incoming wealth not only puts cash in our pockets, but it also forces prices up generally. Just ask anyone who has tried to rent a room or buy a house in Fort McMurray. EVAN And those high prices alBEDFORD so tend to affect the balance sheets of the big oil companies that work up north. That’s because it’s not only the cost of a cup of coffee that tends to rise to a crazy level; the cost of hauling those monster tires and the flatbeds full

ENERGY& ECOLOGY

of drilling equipment north along Hwy 2 rises at a similar rate. And when the cost of machinery and labour rises, there is less profit available for companies like Suncor and Syncrude. And when there is less profit for them, there is less potential for our provincial government to raise royalty rates. So, as Leach implies, we may want to consider slowing down the pace of development, in order to get a higher share of royalties. A bigger slice taken off of a smaller pie might be a zero-sum game, but at least we — and the flora and fauna up north — could relax a little. And our grandchildren might thank us for leaving some of the bitumen in storage. But there’s another angle to this story. And I was reminded of it when I saw a graph showing our changing royalty rates over the years. There was a steady decline from the days of Peter Lougheed up until the days of Alison Redford. Under Lougheed, the taxpayers were getting as much as 33 per cent of the value of the final petroleum product, whereas under Redford, that figure had dropped to a paltry 4.3 per cent. I suppose that some of that decline could be due to an increasingly chummy relationship between government and industry lobbyists. However, I also have to point out that the intrinsic value of the stuff that we are now pulling out of the ground is a lot less than it used to be. Remember EROEI? No, that’s not the missing verse from Old MacDonald’s Farm. It stands for energy return on energy invested. And it simply relates

to how easy or difficult it is to get fossil fuels out of the ground and refined. If it takes the energy equivalent of one barrel of oil to suck 100 barrels out of the ground (as was the case for Saudi crude a half century ago), then the EROEI is 100:1. For Alberta conventional crude about 40 years ago, that figure was about 30:1. Care to guess what the EROEI for Alberta bitumen is? It’s estimated to be anywhere from 3:1 to 6:1, depending on the particular operation. Which means that the potential for squeezing royalties out of producers is a bit more limited than it was in the 1970s. Lougheed could use an analogy of squeezing juice out of a grape. Rachel Notley might have to use an analogy of squeezing juice out of a raisin. And at some point in the future, we might have to resort to the analogy of squeezing blood out of a stone. So, while I applaud Notley’s desire to establish a royalty review (and it will be worthwhile even if all it does is pull us away from our latest pixelated distractions, thus boosting our collective IQs a few points), I suspect that we’ll never again be able to get the kind of money from the oil companies that Lougheed managed so long ago. But then again, maybe such a review will be just the kick in the pants we need to diversify our economy, and perhaps even to consider such dreaded heresy as an HST.

The new exercise prescription for treating cancer Could physical activity make cancer treatments more effective? Two recent studies suggest that the answer is yes. We know that exercise isn’t easy if you’re coping with cancer or its aftermath. So we’ve got some ideas for making it happen, on your terms. But first, let’s look at what the latest research is revealing about how physical activity helps fight cancer. A Duke University study is making headlines with news that exercise plus chemotherapy shrinks breast cancer tumours better than chemotherapy alone. One possible reason: Exercise relaxes arteries and increases circulation, sending more blood into tumours. This makes chemotherapy work better, especially in solid tumours that have grown a jumble of blood vessels so twisted and kinked that hardly any fresh blood reaches the tumour itself. These “hypoxic tumours” are especially resistant to chemotherapy and to radiation, thanks to their oxygenstarved environment. Exercise makes the tumours more receptive to blood and oxygen, so treatment is a lot more effective.

MIKE ROIZEN & MEHMET OZ

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN In a 2014 study, University of Florida researchers found that exercise increased blood and oxygen to prostate cancer tumours, too. There’s also early evidence that exercise might encourage cancer cells to destroy themselves, a process called apoptosis. It might be one reason why breast cancer survivors who stay active have a 34 per cent lower risk for death or a cancer comeback; colon cancer survivors cut their risks by 39 to 59 per cent; and prostate cancer survivors cut their odds for cancer-related death by 39 per cent. Getting in the mindset to exercise We understand that if you’ve just received a cancer diagnosis or are in the midst of therapy, it might take more than a little self-motivation to get into the idea of starting an exercise program. Treatment side effects like nausea

and altered red and white blood cell counts, anxiety, depression, pain and fatigue all can get in the way, as can a busy schedule if you’re working, raising a family or just coping with difficult symptoms. But the benefits are remarkable. And remember, getting moving can tame anxiety, lift depression, restore energy and make you feel more hopeful about the future. So if you need a boost, ask your family, friends or work pals to join in. Having a buddy is the Numero Uno way to make sure you start — and stick with — your active routine. Let them know that as little as 30 minutes of brisk walking a day can lower their odds for cancer of the breast, colon, prostate, lungs and uterus, too. To begin increasing your level of physical activity, follow these three simple steps: ● Talk with your doctor. Low red blood cell counts, off-kilter mineral levels due to treatment side effects, pain and nausea or vomiting are among the reasons your doctor might suggest not exercising for a few days or longer. If you have a low white blood cell

count or take medications that lower your immunity, steer clear of public gyms. ● Go easy. Add movement in little ways. Walk around during work breaks and lunch. Take a short stroll, adding more time if and when you can. Or try walking briskly for a minute, then resting, then walking again. Aim for 30 minutes of brisk activity a day. You can divide it into 10-minute mini-workouts. Take your time reaching your goal — listen to your body and get the rest you need. ● Work out with others who are in the know. Get info on exercise classes for cancer survivors from your doctor, your local hospital or the nearest major cancer centre. Some cancer centers also offer help designing exercise programs for survivors and current patients. Another option: Working with a personal trainer. (Talk with your doctor first, of course.)

TORONTO — A rapidly expanding MERS outbreak in South Korea is raising concerns the virus may be on the verge of a SARS-like global spread.
