Dual credit program celebrates first grads
‘I didn’t think he would go this far’ NEIGHBOURS PAINT PICTURE OF TROUBLED MAN IN POLICE SHOOTING
BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Nineteen Notre Dame High School students graduated as full-fledged health care aides from Red Deer College last week — including 13 Grade 11 students. It was the first group of students from the Red Deer high school to graduate as health care aides after completing a two-year, dual credit program that gave students both high school CTS credits and college-level credits. RDC’s health care aide program has been suspended for 2015-16. Grade 12 student Mariah Hermary, 18, said she didn’t hesitate to take the program and felt lucky that it was available. “It was one of the best classes I could take at the high school. It was a no-brainer for me. I wanted to take it,” Hermary said. Hermary is one of the students who will be graduating twice this month. “It felt weird almost because I was graduating college before I even graduated high school. My (high school) grad isn’t until two weeks from now. But I was cool.” She said the program taught her how to help people in a professional way who can’t help themselves.

WOMEN OF EXCELLENCE GALA
Dickson honoured for dedication to environment BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF For decades Dorothy Dickson has been on mother nature’s side. Her dedication was recognized on Tuesday night at the eighth annual Women of Excellence Gala when she was the recipient of both the Environment Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Dickson, who lived in Calgary before moving to an acreage near Red Deer in 1985 and into Red Deer in 2003, said her connection to Red Deer went back to the 1970s when she chaired a committee on Dorothy Dickson renewable resources for the Lougheed government. “There was some question of the provincial government taking over the Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary. I came and looked at Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary and advised the provincial government to back off,” said Dickson to the roar of applause during her acceptance speech for the Environment Award, her first award of the night at the gala held at Sheraton Red Deer. “It was particularly pleasing to me to see it was a financial institution that was sponsoring the Environmental Award. I think if the economists and ecologists talked to each other and got together more, we could do a lot towards helping solve some (problems),” she said earning more accolades from the more than 400 people in attendance.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Moments before he died in a barrage of bullets, Const. Daniel Woodall had been chatting with a man about whether his neighbour who was under investigation for hate crimes might have any guns. Norman Raddatz was a JUSTICE MINISTER 42-year-old refrigerator repairman — a divorced fa- CALLS GUN REGISTRY ther with money problems, LINK ‘ABSURD’ A3 who didn’t cut the grass around his west Edmonton bungalow and put dog poop on the top of his fence to irritate those living next door. Ryan Colton didn’t know much more about him, other than that he had a small dog. “As far as guns, I said, ‘I don’t know.’ That’s all I could give him for info.” Woodall and seven other city officers, half of them in plainclothes, then approached Raddatz’s home about 8 p.m. Monday. They knocked and announced themselves, and when no one answered, Woodall started using a battering ram on the front door, said Colton. During the third blow, gunshots rang out, he said. Woodall, a 35-year-old officer recruited from Great Britain, suffered a fatal, “catastrophic wound” despite wearing body armour, Chief Rod Knecht told reporters Tuesday. He said another officer, the first at the door, was shot and wounded in the lower back as he turned around. Sgt. Jason Harley, 38, was wearing a bullet-proof vest and it saved his life. Officers carried the wounded officer to the front corner of Colton’s yard, where he helped by pressing a cloth onto the bleeding wound before an ambulance arrived. For about 10 minutes, no one could escape the gunfire. The remaining officers took cover behind vehicles until the bullets stopped flying. In all, officers counted 53 bullet holes in the house and a garage across the street. A Second World War veteran, who were dozing in front of
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING “The Edmonton Police Service has always stood by the RCMP in its darkest hours. It is now our sad honour to stand by the Edmonton Police Service as they deal with the loss of a beloved police officer due to an act of unprovoked and senseless violence.” — RCMP Deputy Commissioner Marianne Ryan “I was heartbroken to learn that an Edmonton police officer ... lost his life in the line of duty ... This tragic event is a sombre reminder of the dangers our men and women in uniform face every day in their service to Albertans.” — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley “This was a senseless and devastating crime against the very people who work day-in and dayout to keep our communities safe.” — Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley “Constable Woodall’s service to Edmonton and to Canada will be remembered and honoured. We grieve his loss today with Alberta and the rest of the country.” — Prime Minister Stephen Harper “The very bravest and best among us step forward to become first responders ... we rely on our police to protect us from the few and the worst among us.” — Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson “Our thoughts are with the (Edmonton police). We understand your hurt. RIP Cst. Woodall” — RCMP New Brunswick “I can’t really comprehend this has happened and I am in shock.” — Det. Insp.

PROGRAM: Explore career options “I feel it was a good first step into the medical field. My ultimate end goal is to be a doctor,” Hermary said. Gloria Antifaiff, School of Education dean at RDC, said the province’s dual credit strategy helps to personalize student’s high school experience. The 2014-15 school year was also the first year for RDC’s School Within a College initiative that allowed 12 students from Central Alberta to begin an auto service technician apprenticeship program. A welding apprenticeship program will run next year. RDC also offers high school students a business management course. Programs are provided at not cost to students. “It’s actually a pretty interesting way for high school students to explore new potential career opportunities and have a little taste of the post-secondary experience if they’re interested in it,” Antifaiff said. As part of the health care aide program, a college instructor led classes at the high school, and students completed lab work at the college, usually on the weekends. Madelene Caine, Notre Dame CTS teacher, said

BRIEF Faulty appliance blamed for fire A faulty appliance was responsible for a fire that burned down a home near Leslieville on Sunday evening. About 30 volunteer firefighters from four communities were called out to the modified manufactured home fire about 9:40 p.m. on a rural property northwest of Leslieville near Hwy 12. “Upon arrival, we discovered a well-involved students appreciated the chance to become health care aides. “Many of them were very interested in getting involved in some form of health care. Some of them are using this as a stepping stone towards pursuing other careers down the line in health care like nursing. And some of them are planning on having this as their full-time career when the finish,” Caine said. Many students were offered jobs at health care facilities where they completed work practicums through the program, she said. “Some of the residents’ families volunteered to write them reference letters so they definitely were received very warmly in the practicum placements. They were very much appreciated.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

house fire. No one was at home at the time,” said Paul Prevost, deputy fire chief with Clearwater Regional Fire Rescue Services. Fire crews were unable to save the home and firefighters remained on scene until Monday afternoon cleaning up and investigating the cause. ‘“We were able to save some personal possessions in the home, but the structure itself needs to be torn down and rebuilt,” Prevost said. About 30 firefighters from Rocky Mountain House, Condor, Leslieville and Eckville responded. The fire was traced to mechanical failure in an older appliance, he said. Damage was estimated at around $250,000. The owner and sole occupant of the home was away working at the time of the fire. He has since returned.

For anyone making their way along Gaetz Avenue northbound or westbound on 55th Street Tuesday they were faced with clogged roadways in both directions at the intersection of the two roads. Along 55th Street, Atco Gas was squeezing traffic down to one lane, while a paving crew was taking up three of the four northbound lanes to do work at the intersection. Over the summer months, the city is planning to work on several projects in the city that will at times make getting around difficult. The City of Red Deer has unveiled a new construction web letting motorists know where the crews will be working, the timelines, the detours and the closures.

Mountain View County plans to use a long-awaited provincial flood hazard map to guide future development decisions near the Red Deer River. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development flood consultants have completed a draft flood hazard map for a low-lying area known as McDougal Flats southwest of Sundre. The county plans to use that map in its planning documents to guide future development decisions. Margeretha Bloem, director of planning and development services, said the map takes into account recent flooding history that has seen areas previously spared fall victim to high river levels. “What is really important to remember is we’re not introducing new policies and new restrictions. It’s just that we’re inserting the map.” For instance, new development was not permitted in floodways previously and flood fringe developments faced restrictions, such as a ban on basements and other measures to protect homes. Before the province set out to map Alberta’s flood hazards several years ago, the county relied on a loose definition of “flood-prone areas” to determine when a development application required additional scrutiny. In those cases, the onus was on the applicant to demonstrate where the floodway and flood fringe was at their location. The county has been waiting for the province to finalize the flood hazard map to clearly identify areas at risk. Without that guide to the most flood-prone areas, the county was reluctant to approve developments in potentially risky areas. Rather than make a mistake, a moratorium on new development in McDougal Flats was brought in last November and extended in February. On June 24, a public hearing will be held on the county’s plan to amend the Municipal Development Plan, Land Use Bylaw and a pair of area structure plans to include the flood hazard map. Bloem said it’s hoped that Alberta Environment will finalize the draft map by the public hearing.

SHOOTING: Raddatz known to police An autopsy will be done to determine a cause of death. Knecht said police didn’t fire any rounds during the shooting. Investigators believe Raddatz used a large-bore rifle, a powerful gun that carries big bullets and is often used to hunt big game. Knecht said police didn’t expect violence when they showed up, adding that sending eight officers is typical for a criminal call. The officers had an outstanding arrest warrant for Raddatz for a bylaw offence, and were also going to serve him with documents ordering him to appear in court for criminal harassment dating back to February 2014. “The online hatred and bullying of an Edmonton family had become

extreme and the family members were increasingly worried about their personal safety,” he said. No other details were offered about the family. Knecht added that Raddatz was known to police but did not have an extensive criminal record. Colton said Raddatz was a terrible neighbour who didn’t take care of his house, “but I didn’t think he would go this far.” Ollie Noble, the 83-year-old woman in the house hit by gunfire, was also surprised by the violence. “I mean, what did he accomplish? He killed a young officer with a wife and two little kids.” Court documents show Raddatz was charged last year with seven bylaw offences, including parking an unattached trailer, abandoning vehicles and causing a nuisance on land. He had $550 in outstanding fines. Records also reveal he and his wife divorced in 2012. They have three sons, 21, 19 and 14. Raddatz ran a company called North Summit Mechanical out of his house, but neighbours said he had stopped working and drank a lot.
destroyed all the records, except for those in Quebec, which remain under a legal challenge. The government is currently pushing through Bill C-42, dubbed the Common Sense Firearms Act, which Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney calls “the first substantive change to the firearms regime since it was brought in 20 years ago.” The government says its working with the firearms community to strike a balance between what Blaney calls “streamlining” firearms paperwork and ensuring public safety. The bill includes a mix of measures, including relaxing rules on the transportation of guns and simplifying the licensing system by combining two types of firearms licences into one, as well as new mandatory gun training for all licensee and a lifetime prohibition on firearms ownership by those convicted of domestic assaults. Blaney appeared before a Senate committee Tuesday to promote Bill C-42 and although the Edmonton shooting was not raised by senators, Blaney twice used unrelated questions to address the matter. Blaney made note that the Supreme Court of Canada has said firearms own-
ership is a privilege, not a right, but the minister said he preferred to think of it as “a responsibility.” And he noted that he was in Moncton last week to mark the one-year anniversary of the shooting deaths of three RCMP officers. “You know our government in the last decade has probably been the one who has adopted the most stringent regulation toward possession of illegal firearms and towards crimes committed with firearms — especially those horrible crimes,” Blaney told the Senate committee. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is currently in Poland wrapping up a five-day trip to Europe, issued a release of condolences for Woodall’s death. “On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. We also pray for the full and speedy recovery of Sergeant Jason Harley who was shot in the same incident,” Harper said in the release. “It is a very difficult reminder that police officers across our country put their lives on the line every day to serve and protect our communities and keep us safe.”
Ranch sets property listing record BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A sprawling cattle ranch south of Calgary has set a record for the most expensive residential property ever listed on Alberta’s MLS system, according to Sotheby’s Canada Inc. Sotheby’s has listed the 6,000-hectare Bar-N Ghost Pine Ranch for a hefty US$42.5 million ($54 million CAN). “People that are looking to buy this type of ranch are people that are not really affected by what’s happening here with the economy,” said Renata Reid, the Sotheby’s real estate agent selling the property. The property sits near the town of Claresholm, about an hour and a half drive south of Calgary and an hour north of the U.S. border. The Bar-N Ghost ranch has 800 cat-
tle and 36 Angus cross bulls and all the barns, corrals and sheds needed for a working ranch. The property includes 3,660 hectares of deeded land and 2,300 hectares of leased land. There is also a 5,200-square-foot ranch home, a guest home, and four village houses for a full crew. “The type of buyer is a food-chain operator that is looking to supplement their beef supply,” said Reid. “Or it can be someone that is international but looking for a high-end hunting ground for mule deer and elk,” added the realtor, who sifted through MLS listings to establish the ranch as the most expensive ever. The property is being sold by a retired oil and gas executive who has chosen to remain anonymous. According to Reid, he is selling the property because his health prevents him from running the ranch.
Not all residents have been happy with the process. Some opposed the size of the area subject to the moratorium, and was later reduced when more detailed information came forward. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

“If they only finalize the mapping after the 24th, then we’ll have to redo the public hearing to insert the map,” she said. Lurking in the background is the province’s announced plan to develop new regulations for developing in floodways. It was a commitment made after devastating floods in 2013. It is unclear when those new rules — which could require changing municipal regulations — will be unveiled. “If the province brings out this regulation that’s more restrictive than what we have, we will have to amend all of our documents to abide by that regulation,” she said.

Public sector disconnect GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION SHOULD REFLECT PRIVATE SECTOR NORMS BY CHARLES LAMMAM AND JASON CLEMENS SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Against a backdrop of persistent deficits and growing debt, the federal and many provincial governments are playing tough in collective bargaining negotiations with their public-sector unions as part of a strategy to control overall spending. Those governments would do well to also tackle other compensation costs. Pay and benefits of government employees constitute a significant portion of program spending — approximately half in most provinces — so these costs must be considered as part of any meaningful belt-tightening initiative. And there is ample reason to do so. Decades of research has shown that the wages and benefits of government employees tend to eclipse those for comparable private-sector positions. In a new Fraser Institute study, we provide updated estimates of the wage premium in Canada based on data for government employees at all levels
(federal, provincial and local). Using Statistics Canada data from 2013, we find that government employees in Canada receive, on average, 9.7 per cent higher wages than comparable workers in the private sector. This wage premium accounts for differences in the characteristics of individual workers, such as their education, the nature of their position, and their tenure and experience. But wages are just one component of total compensation. Other costs include pensions, early retirement and job security. As any business-owner or manager will tell you, it’s the total cost of compensation that matters rather than the individual components. The available data from Statistics Canada suggest that government employees also enjoy superior non-wage benefits. On pensions, one of the costliest benefits, 87.8 per cent of governmentsector employees in Canada were covered by a registered pension plan in 2013, compared to 23.9 per cent of private-sector workers. Among those covered, 94.2 per cent of government employees enjoyed the
gold standard of pensions — a definedbenefit pension, which guarantees a certain level of benefits in retirement — compared to just 47.5 per cent of private-sector workers. Governmentsector employees in Canada also retire 2.4 years earlier, on average, than private-sector workers. When it comes to job loss, a proxy for job security, government employees have a distinct advantage. In 2013, 3.6 per cent of private-sector employment in Canada experienced job loss — more than five times higher than the 0.7 per cent of government-sector employment. Finally, consider the rate of absenteeism in the two sectors. In 2013, full-time employees in the private sector were absent for personal reasons an average of 8.1 days throughout the year, while the average government employee was absent 12.1 days. Of course, governments need to provide competitive compensation to attract qualified employees. But the fact is, government employees in Canada enjoy higher wages than comparable private-sector workers. Data suggest
they also likely enjoy more generous benefits. The traditional tradeoff was that the government sector received lower wages than the private sector in exchange for more generous benefits, such as greater job security and pension coverage. That bargain has clearly been undone. The first step to solving the government compensation premium is better data collected on a more regular basis. Better information, available more regularly, will hold governments to account for managing compensation costs. The longer-term solution is to enact measures that link the wages and benefits of government employees to similar positions in the private sector. Doing so would allow governments to better control spending and rein in deficits and debt. Charles Lammam and Jason Clemens are co-authors of the Fraser Institute study Comparing Government and Private Sector Compensation in Canada. It is available at www.fraserinstitute.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
City mismanagement costs taxpayers too much I recently heard on the news that the average wage of a municipal worker across Canada was at least $6 an hour higher than a private sector worker doing the same job. How anyone figures this out is beyond me but according to the report, municipalities could save over $1 billion a year by bringing wages into line with the private sector. Now I don’t have a problem with the higher wage, where I have a problem is if city workers are going to earn more, then surely they have to be more productive. But after watching the gong show acted out on my street the past two weeks, I have to question whether the city workers even match private industry in their productivity. Let me explain what I have witnessed in the past as the city decided to replace the water and or sewer line into a house across the street. First the crew showed up with the heavy equipment to dig up the street — of course, it seems that this takes at least four vehicles as well as the excavator. The next day, more trucks showed up, the pipes were replaced and the following day the road was repaved. All well and good, but about 20 metres away is another place where the road was dug up last year and never repaved. Where is the common sense in this type of mismanagement? Every day at least three trucks would show up, nearly always with two people. Most times, all they did was examine the job, then leave. After all this, the area had to be paved again, which meant all the equipment had to be hauled in, but still they ignored the unpaved area close to it. Further to this, there is at least one other road with an unpaved excavation about a block away. It seems to me that if the roads department managers used some common sense, they could schedule all the paving jobs in an area so that when they bring in the heavy machinery required, the cost would be a lot less. I don’t for one minute blame the workers, they just do what they are told. Where the responsibility lies is with the foremen and managers who decide what the crews do. I would like to suggest that our city council members make this a high priority. As the saying goes, “a penny saved is a penny earned” and my tax bill is higher again this year.

Political ads demeaning, shallow and uninformative If he’s not ready, are we ready? The negative political ads have started. Before we decide to vote for any candidate, we need to determine whether we, the voters, are ready to determine who should be elected to these offices. Before long we will be inundated with a barrage of idiotic political ads testing, and often insulting, our intelligence. If we, in any way, let these ridiculous ads affect our voting patterns and preferences, then we will get the kind of intellectually corrupt and self-serving MPs we deserve. We need to watch for the tricks and treacheries that will be presented to us on a daily basis through the media. There will be ads smearing the character of the various leaders, without at all identifying the policy or policies the head of these political parties will promote, if elected.

be aware of the hidden agenda of a politician and his or her party. These are all intended to disarm us from questioning the dubious message of the ad and to cause us to focus our attention away from clear policy statements. There will be parodies parading as realities. There will be ads showing a mistake or blooper made by a politician and then elevating this to the status of an event supposedly typically identifying this individual politician’s ineptness or incompetence. All this drama is portrayed without any reference to the successful or failing policy decisions or programs of this particular politician’s political party. This approach tries to convince us that the exceptional is the typical, that a non-typical gaff is typical of an entire political policy. A great example of this trend is the ad focusing on the theme “He’s not ready.” This is an example of a promotional ad without substance, without any reasonable support, without any evidence or facts to support it. It is biased opinion framed as innuendo with negative suggestions. Actors are portrayed as if they are making a thoughtful decision on a hiring committee, when their words and content, “nice hair,” for example, are incredibly stupid and shallow. As voters, we make predictions about the party members and party policies we decide to elect. These predictions are only as good as the evidence we have when making our decision. We should avoid the situation of those who “are not ready” to make an informed vote, those who rely on deceptive political junk ads. We need an informed vote. It is time to question the integrity, honesty and ability of any party that promotes deceptive, misleading and intelligently demeaning corrupt ads to promote their simply getting re-elected. Their reelection aspirations are only to gain or to continue in a job that (a) pays a good salary, (b) offers a good benefit package and (c) provides a generous pension for life.

We need honest, trustworthy, transparent politicians, which we might get by denying the unscrupulous ones any credibility for their non-informative, demeaning and voter-intelligence-insulting ads. Are we ready to put the effort into focusing on policy statements, political decisions and actions, and on a party that displays integrity in all that it does, including its ad campaigns?

on the result, they may be forced to repay thousands of dollars in dubious claims. Senate leaders, facing what they have called a watershed moment for the upper chamber, vowed action on the report, but were less unequivocal when asked how long it would take to act on Ferguson’s recommendations. The Senate will look at all the recommendations, “and we are going to institute all of them step-by-step,” said Speaker Leo Housakos. “There needs to be change in the Senate; not just the rules and procedures, but also the culture,” added government Senate leader Claude Carignan. “We will take quick and decisive action on the auditor general’s recommendations ... we accept that there is work still to be done.” The audit itself carries a price tag of $23.6 million, according to the auditor general’s office. Some senators charged taxpayers to fly their staff around the country when they should have paid their own way. In one case, a senator expensed flights for staff to attend events at the senator’s B.C. home that included four partisan events. In another, retired

Ferguson found Liberal Sen. Nick Sibbeston’s cellphone was being used by someone else in a different location, while a staffer in the same office was using a work phone to send personal text messages. Combined cost to taxpayers: $1,534. The report also found some members ordering custom holiday greeting cards when cheaper options were available, costing an extra $30,000 over two years compared with the generic cards provided by the Senate. Senators should not be in charge of overseeing their own spending, Ferguson said. Otherwise, they’ll be seen as looking out for their own interests. The report recommends delegating spending oversight to an independent body. Ferguson is also calling on the Senate to let his office audit expenses on a regular basis to ensure they don’t snowball into problem cases, such as the Senate saw with Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau, Mac Harb and Mike Duffy.
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadians face a far more serious threat from lone-wolf terrorists than from large terrorist groups such as al-Qaida or the Islamic State, a disaster management conference heard Tuesday. Speaking at one of the sessions, Andrew Majoran, general manager of the Mackenzie Institute, said detecting and foiling large-scale plots tends to be easier for the intelligence community than picking up on the radicalized, violent individual secretly plotting mayhem. “A lot of the time when a lone-wolf attack occurs, nobody had any idea it was coming,” Majoran said in an interview before his talk. “It’s so difficult to gather intelligence on them. You’re talking about a lone wolf who keeps to himself.” A classic example of what Majoran calls the “pure” lone wolf is Anders Breivik, a Norwegian who went on a horrific killing rampage in Oslo in 2011. While Breivik kept a journal and had a manifesto, no one else had access to his plans. In Canada, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who gunned down a soldier in Ottawa before storming Parliament Hill last October, and Martin Couture-Rouleau, who deliberately ran down a soldier in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., were domestic examples of lone wolves — although they had been on the radar of intelligence authorities but had not done enough to warrant arrest. Lone wolves, however, aren’t necessarily completely solitary individuals, Majoran said. Some, like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, might act with one or two others who share the same murderous sense of purpose. One up-and-coming threat that is easily overlooked is the female lone wolf, he said. Examples include Islamist student Roshonara Choudhry, who stabbed a British MP in a 2010 assassination attempt, and “Colleen (Jihad Jane) LaRose, an American who tried to set up an Islamic extremist cell. Majoran said community vigilance — citizens spotting and reporting something abnormal — is one of the best approaches to mitigating the lonewolf threat. Community complacency, however, might be the biggest obstacle — because their backgrounds are so mundane and familiar, Majoran said. These are people who went to schools and universities with us, have jobs and families. “Lone wolves can slip through the cracks quite easily,” Majoran said. The World Conference and Disaster Management in downtown Toronto also heard from experts on dealing with disasters ranging from fire and floods to disease outbreaks, power failures and infrastructure collapses — each bringing its own challenges. Some attendees, who came from 38 countries, took part in an exercise involving a mock passenger plane crash in downtown Toronto. About a dozen people cloistered themselves behind computer screens in an “emergency operations centre” set up in a convention centre room. There, they watched incoming data on casualties and other aspects of the crash as they tried to come up with an effective response in terms of helping the injured, preventing further casualties and ensuring public awareness.

BRIEF Having senators sign blank travel-claim forms standard practice: Duffy staffer OTTAWA — Mike Duffy’s former executive assistant shed light on the inner workings of his office Tuesday as she took to the witness stand for a second straight day. Melanie Mercer, a former political staffer, starting working in Duffy’s office following his 2009 Senate appointment and left when he was suspended from the upper chamber in 2013. She was asked to describe what she said was common practice in the office: having Duffy sign blank travel claims in order to facilitate paperwork. Mercer said two aides from other senator’s offices suggested the strategy as they showed her the ropes during a shadowing process set up by Senate administration. “I took their advice and followed it,” she said. “At the time, I thought it was very practical. I didn’t think anything of it at the time.” “In doing this, did you have any intent to defraud the Senate administration or Senate finance?” Bayne asked. “Not at all,” Mercer replied. “You didn’t do it secretly. You did it just because that was the process recommended,” Bayne said. “Correct,” Mercer said. “I would not have even thought of doing that had I not been given that advice.”
Duceppe to reprise role as Bloc Quebecois leader MONTREAL — The Bloc Quebecois is turning to a familiar face to lead it into this fall’s federal election in a bid
to revive its flailing political fortunes. Gilles Duceppe is returning as leader of the Bloc, reprising a role he held for 14 years before the sovereigntist party was nearly wiped off the electoral map in 2011. A source told The Canadian Press on Tuesday that Mario Beaulieu, the current leader, will remain in the fold as party president. The Bloc has called a news conference for Wednesday morning in Montreal that Duceppe and Beaulieu are both scheduled to attend. Currently, the Bloc has only two MPs out of 75 in Quebec and has been rife with division since Beaulieu’s election as leader in 2014. One of them, longtime MP Louis Plamondon, wouldn’t confirm any details Tuesday, only offering up a cryptic comment that there were “still some negotiations taking place” and that all would be confirmed Wednesday. Plamondon said he has high hopes for the 2015 campaign. “The ridings were winnable with Mr. Beaulieu, but with Mr. Duceppe, it would be a plus,” Plamondon said. “He (Duceppe) is the one who is best known at the federal level, the one with the most experience.”
U.S., Canada unhappy with Greenland’s decision to catch wild Atlantic salmon HALIFAX — Conservationists and politicians have condemned a unilateral decision by Greenland to continue fishing wild Atlantic salmon off its coast, saying it will further imperil the migrating stock that is at record lows. Officials from federal fisheries departments in Canada and the United States said they were disappointed with the 45-tonne quota set by Greenland for this year and the next two at a North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization meeting last week in Labrador. In separate statements, they said the catch level is too high and goes against scientific advice that recom-
mends no salmon be caught off Greenland’s west coast while the population tries to rebuild. Bill Taylor, president of the Atlantic Salmon Federation, said the decision also conflicts with the stated wishes of many member nations and conservation groups to stop the harvest or dramatically reduce it. Taylor, whose group presented at the annual gathering, said it could mean fewer wild fish return to their spawning grounds in Canadian and U.S. rivers after feeding off Greenland. “It could be devastating,” he said Tuesday. “The one thing that we could do right away that will have a positive impact right away is to stop killing so many fish and Greenland is at the top of the list.” No one from Greenland’s fisheries department was available for comment.
Manitoba to allow victims to sue for intimate photos distributed without consent WINNIPEG — Manitoba has introduced a law which would crack down on those who distribute intimate photos without consent. Attorney General Gord Mackintosh told the legislature the law would allow those victimized by the distribution of intimate photos to sue for damages. The province would also partner with the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to establish a tipline. Mackintosh says the tipline would help get intimate images down from the Internet and link victims with support. Experts have said they are seeing an alarming increase in teens who share sexual images of themselves through live web chats and are then extorted for money. The federal government recently changed the Criminal Code to make it illegal to distribute intimate images without consent.

Microbrewery opens on Saturday TROUBLED MONK BREWERY HAS ALREADY FILLED MORE THAN 1000 CANS IN PREPARATION BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF With the days ticking down until Red Deer’s newest brewery officially opens, the trio behind it have already started canning their first beer for public consumption. Trouble Monk Brewery’s canner arrived and on Monday they filled about 1,100 cans. The brewery is the brainchild of Charlie and Graeme Bredo. They brought on Garret Haynes — a graduate of the Olds College Brewmaster program — and the Trouble Monk Brewery will officially open its doors on Saturday. At the brewery, they will sell six-packs and growlers. But they are also producing kegs and cans for distribution to pubs, bars and restaurants. The front of the brewery at 5551 45th St. in Red Deer also includes taps offering pints of Troubled Monk. They will also offer tours of the brewery and the brewing process. “I think people will see how the beer is made, see it is made with local Albertan ingredients and people are going to love that,” said Charlie. “You not only get the craft beer interest, but you also get the people who want something local.” Their beer starts with a base malt that comes from Alix and speciality malts that add flavours to the finished product. Those are combined to start the recipes. “Some of them give off a caramel flavour and as you get darker, you get a raisin flavour,” said Haynes. The malted barley is milled to expose the starches so the water can get at it. The grain is then hydrated into a mash tun, converting the starch into sugar. Working with the yeast, this is how alcohol is created. The sugar water is then separated from the barley and sent into the kettle. In the kettle, hops are added to provide both flavour and preservatives. The kettle boils and is then rapidly cooled to the fermentation temperature. The beer is fermented for about two weeks before it goes to its last tank, allowing the sediment and yeast to drop out and forcing the carbonation into it. Ales take two weeks while lagers can ferment for about a month. The goal is to have four regular house beers and a couple of seasonal offerings. “We’ve been working on this for more than a year,” said Charlie. “Putting lots of work, lots of planning, lots of money and to be at the stage where we can taste our beer, share our beer with people

Graeme Bredo and Garret Haynes label a few of the 1,100 beer cans they filled up on Monday at the Troubled Monk Brewery in Red Deer. The microbrewery is set to open on Saturday. and actually launch the business is actually really exciting.” The Bredos started homebrewing four or five years ago as a hobby. But then Graeme suggested starting the brewery and the idea took off. “It’s one of those ideas you throw out there and most of them you don’t take seriously,” said Charlie. “For some reason, it just stuck and we slowly started to work on it and it got momentum. Now we’re all in.” The taproom blends with the theme of locally sourced and locally produced. Old farm wood from the Bredos’ grandfather’s home was brought in to ac-
cent the serving area and a mural painted by a local artist graces a wall, following the monk theme the brewery has used. Local heritage plays a role in the names of the beers, including the Golden Gaetz Ale and the Pesky Pig Pale Ale. Graeme said the Golden Gaetz Ale has light citrus notes with a bit of pepper at the end and that the Pesky Pig has melon and papaya flavours. Starting on Saturday, the brewery will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekdays from 1 to 8 p.m. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

A man walks past a Blacks photo store in Ottawa on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Photography chain Blacks is closing all of its 59 stores in Canada as of Aug. 8. Parent company Telus says most of the stores are in Ontario and employ about 485 people.
Blacks to shutter all 59 stores BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — One of Canada’s best-known photography chains is closing its doors after nearly 70 years, a victim of technological advances that it struggled to keep up with. Blacks, a storied company that became synonymous with cameras, pictures and family albums, will shutter its 59 stores across the country by Aug. 8, its parent company Telus announced Tuesday. The move will see about 485 employees lose their jobs, most of which are in Ontario. “It’s a miracle, frankly, that they’ve lasted this long,” said Doug Stephens, a retail industry futurist and founder of Retail Prophet. “It’s no secret that the photography market has been constantly and mercilessly disrupted by technology, which used to be a robust market. And Blacks never really made the transition to the professional market, and then again they never really moved online either.” Company spokeswoman Luiza Staniec said Blacks was unable to generate profitable growth over the last year and it would’ve required further investments to adapt to a changing market. “Technological innovations have changed the way Canadians take and share photographs, with fewer of us using retail photo outlets,” Staniec said in a statement. She said an unspecified number of the laid-off employees will be offered jobs at Telus or Koodo head offices, as well as at retail outlets or call centres, while others would be offered a “transition package.” Bruce Winder, a retail analyst with J.C. Williams Group Ltd., said he wasn’t surprised by the shut-

down. “They have a fair amount of cameras and that market is in significant decline,” Winder said. “If you go back 10 years ago, folks bought digital cameras. Now everyone has digital cameras on their smartphones. The market is polarized and you’re either a professional camera enthusiast and you go to Henry’s or you don’t and you use your cellphone like 99 per cent of the other people.” Winder said when Telus Corp (TSX:T) bought Blacks in September 2009 for $28 million from ReichmannHauer Capital Partners, it was simply to add another distribution channel for the telecom giant. He said Telus hedged its bets on a bricks-and-mortar approach just in case it was a lucrative market. It obviously wasn’t, he said. “Telus is so big that they can certainly absorb this,” he said. The news closes the chapter on a company that began in midtown Toronto in 1930 when Eddie Black launched a radio and appliance store. In 1939, with a royal visit approaching, Black noticed an interest in photography and added cameras to his store, which quickly sold out, according to “The Story of Blacks Photography,” a book written by Robert Black, one of his four sons. So the elder Black stocked more cameras, which continued to sell. Robert Black and his brother Bill worked at their father’s store, delivering refrigerators and stoves in the 1930s and 1940s. Tired of the back-breaking work, the pair approached their father with a proposal. “We asked him if we could use half the store to take a crack at selling guns, fishing tackle and cameras,” Robert Black wrote. Their father agreed and financed the operation. That was in 1947.

CALGARY — The low price of crude today is expected to put a damper on Canada’s oil output 15 years from now, according to a new forecast by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. CAPP predicts the country’s total daily oil production will hit 5.3 million barrels by 2030 — a 43 per cent increase over 2014 levels. But that’s 17 per cent less than what the association predicted a year ago when crude was above US$105 a barrel. Right now, it’s around US$60 a barrel. The 2014 and 2015 forecasts follow a similar trajectory for most of the forecast period, but diverge in later years. No big change is expected for oilsands projects that are up and running or under construction, but some longer-term projects have been shelved due to the price uncertainty. Oilsands production alone is expected to hit four million barrels a day by 2030, nearly doubling from 2014 levels. But a year ago, CAPP was predicting oilsands output of 4.8 million barrels a day by 2030. Through 2019, CAPP sees the oilsands adding an average of 168,000 barrels a day of production each year. But during the last decade of its forecast, the pace slows to about 86,000 barrels a day of annual growth. Greg Stringham, CAPP’s vice-president of oilsands and markets, said new pipelines to the East, West and U.S. Gulf Coasts will be necessary, despite the slower growth. “By the end of our forecast...all of the proposed pipeline systems do become used. And from that perspective, it didn’t really change that outlook when many people would have been looking at it saying ’Well, it’s a slower pace. We may not need all that (pipeline space).”’ Crude-by-rail will also continue to be an important way to transport “swing supply” to get crude to markets that aren’t served by pipelines, said Stringham. The group surveyed its members in March and April of this year about their investment plans. Total investment across the oil and gas industry is predicted to come in at $45 billion in 2015, down nearly 40 per cent from last year. In the oilsands, capital investment is seen dropping by nearly a third. Stringham said there is some upside to developing Canada’s resources at a more moderate clip. “The slower pace does mean that there is some additional labour availability. Some projects have been coming in on time and on budget. The last eight that I’ve seen have done that,” he said. “From that perspective, I think it does help on the competitiveness side of things.” Greenpeace campaigner Keith Stewart said it’s “remarkable” that CAPP predicted a huge rise in oilsands production the day after G7 leaders agreed to shift to a no-carbon economy by the end of this century. “They need to be planning how they can become renewable energy companies, not doubling down on high-carbon oil.”

Use the Pareto Principle to evaluate productivity Advanced technology has produced a variety of tools that support businesses operations, everything from handling daily tasks to managing largescale projects. Something new and exciting is released almost weekly. Companies use a variety of applications that track and manage all aspects of business processes to establish priorities, reJOHN duce costs and MACKENZIE enhance proBUSINESS duction. The profitability BASICS of a project or business is always the number one priority. Although technology offers some solutions, the resulting information is only useful if reliable information is accessible and accurate. A common assumption is that the relationship between inputs and outputs is balanced. Over the years research has proven that this is not entirely
accurate. As well, the availability of skilled workers, cash flow gaps, and looming deadlines are all factors that affect the outcomes in any company. The other factor overlooked is the law of diminishing return, or in economics terms, diminishing marginal benefit. Simply stated, productivity is reduced when attention is focused on a single input only. Rather than concentrating on critical processes, time is lost on the minor details. In the 1940s, Dr. Joseph M. Juran, a quality management pioneer, attributed the Pareto Principle to the observations made by an Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto. The Pareto Principle states that most things in life are not distributed evenly, that the majority of results come from a minority of inputs. More commonly known as the 80/20 Rule, the theory states that in any endeavor a very few actions/things (20 per cent) are vital, while the majority of action/things (80 per cent) are trivial. Or putting it another way, 80 per cent of results commonly come from just 20 per cent of the efforts. While the ratios may change, and the percentages don’t always total 100, the key point is to focus efforts on the key 20 per cent that contributes the most value, first. There is some disagreement sur-
rounding the theory when it comes to analyzing and streamlining business operations. Current thinking suggests that the 80/20 Rule is only beneficial once issues and have been tracked and analyzed. However, the 80/20 Rule can be a useful tool to track and evaluate specific areas. It can actually highlight issues that are not obvious and therefore can be used to identify priorities going forward. Using this powerful tool can correct the imbalances and produce immediate results. Which products or services creates the highest number of customer complaints? Quick surveys done by your customers and team will reveal which 20 per cent of your products and/or services account for 80 per cent of your customer complaints. When you know what the issues are, you can focus on resolving the cause the complaints. Can you identify the top 20 per cent of your customers that account for 80 per cent of your business? If you can recognize your “raving fans�, then you can implement strategies to provide exclusive service. This means you will be able to anticipate their needs and target new products and services to these core customers. Inventory control programs are designed to track precise information

Apply the rule to reduce that 80 per cent of your stock that accounts for only 20 per cent of your volume. Our expectation are that everyone should give 100 per cent effort all the time.

NEB chair to make safety inspection reports public VANCOUVER — The chairman of the National Energy Board is vowing to make pipeline inspection reports public in his latest effort to increase transparency at the embattled regulator. Peter Watson said the reports will be published online beginning in September, in order to inform the public that the board continues to monitor pipelines even after they are built. “If a project is constructed like the existing Trans Mountain line, we have all these responsibilities to ensure its safety on an ongoing basis and we take that very seriously,� he told The Canadian Press. “I’m trying to open up and be more transparent with some of the information we share, to help the public understand what we do every day to ensure pipeline safety.� Watson met with two Vancouverarea mayors on Tuesday as part of a months-long cross-country tour to improve public relations. British Columbia politicians and First Nations have denounced the board’s ongoing review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. The chairman said the board conducts about 150 to 200 inspections annually that scrutinize pipeline construction, monitor the existing right-of-way and include meetings with landowners along the route. All of that information will be made public, and the only redactions will likely be personal details such as landowners’ names and contact information, he said. Watson has also undertaken a public consultation on emergency response plan transparency that is set to close on June 25. He said he expects to make a decision on the issue by the fall. “I’m not happy with the status quo. I think we legitimately can get more information out there,� said Watson. “If we keep the plans confidential, how can the public have any confidence that we know what we’re doing?� Kinder Morgan hopes to triple its bitumen-carrying capacity by laying nearly 1,000 kilometres of new pipe along the existing Trans Mountain line from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C. The City of Vancouver, however,
‘IF A PROJECT IS CONSTRUCTED LIKE THE EXISTING TRANS MOUNTAIN LINE, WE HAVE ALL THESE RESPONSIBILITIES TO ENSURE ITS SAFETY ON AN ONGOING BASIS AND WE TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY.’ —PETER WATSON NATIONAL ENERGY BOARD CHAIRMAN
passed a motion on Tuesday to formally oppose the expansion, with three councillors voting the other way, according to spokesman Braeden Caley. Kinder Morgan has so far released a redacted version of its emergency response plan. The NEB panel reviewing the expansion refused a request from Premier Christy Clark in January to compel the company to disclose more details. Watson said that even if he decides to require companies to publish full plans, the order would likely not extend to Trans Mountain, as the panel has already made its decision. Trans Mountain spokeswoman Ali Hounsell said it supports the “important, national conversation� on emergency plan disclosure and is part of a Canadian Energy Pipeline Association review the NEB will consider. She added that Kinder Morgan welcomes the board’s decision to publish inspection reports online. But Sven Biggs, a campaign organizer with ForestEthics Advocacy, said Watson’s strategy won’t restore public trust. “I think most Canadians are probably going to be surprised to find out that they didn’t have access to this information to start out with,� he said. “(The) announcement doesn’t do anything to address the fact that the public has lost confidence in the National Energy Board’s ability to review pipelines.�

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 74.38 points at 14,817.71 following an almost 214-point drop Monday. In all, Canada’s largest stock exchange gave back more than 400 points over the three-day stretch that began with a 135-point drop last Thursday. On commodity markets, the July crude contract gained $2 to US$60.14 a barrel and the energy sector was the leading advancer on the TSX, up 1.76 per cent. July copper added almost two cents to US$2.71 a pound, and the metals and mining sector rose 1.73 per cent. August gold gained $4 to US$1,177.60 an ounce, but the sector was the worst performer on the index, down more than 1.6 per cent at the TSX close. The loonie, buoyed by the rise in oil prices, gained 0.34 of a U.S. cent to 81 cents. In New York, markets were relatively flat, with the Dow Jones industrial average finishing 2.51 points lower at 17,764.04 and the Nasdaq down 7.76 points at 5,013.87. The S&P 500 gained 0.87 of a point to 2,080.15. American markets have trended lower over the last few weeks amid a number of concerns, including speculation about when the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates. Historically low rates have been credited with providing liquidity that has helped fuelled market gains since the Great Recession. A solid jobs report last Friday indicated that the American economy has recovered from its winter slump, leading to suggestions that the Fed will raise its benchmark sooner rather than later. More clarity on the issue may emerge when the American central bank meets next week.

The number of open jobs at the end of April jumped 5.2 per cent to 5.4 million. The figure suggests that employers anticipate stronger customer demand in the months ahead and that this year’s steady hiring to date will likely continue. On Friday, the government had said U.S. employers added 280,000 jobs in May after a healthy gain in April. Average hourly wages also ticked up. Tuesday’s figures show “the bigger than expected gain in employment in May was no fluke,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist for Capital Economics. “Labour market conditions are strengthening and wage growth will accelerate further.” In other economic news, the Commerce Department said U.S. wholesalers boosted stockpiles in April by the largest amount since January, up 0.4 per cent over March, while their sales surged at the fastest pace in 13 months, up 1.6 per cent after falling in March. An increase in inventories can be an indication of rising business optimism as companies restock empty store shelves in anticipation of stronger demand.

Failure of ’Storm’ smartphone dealt major blow to BlackBerry: Balsillie BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Former co-chief executive Jim Balsillie says BlackBerry’s reputation was dealt a major blow by the BlackBerry Storm, a rushed attempt by the Waterloo, Ont., company to fend off Apple’s iPhone with its own version of a touchscreen device. “With Storm we tried to do too much,” he told the audience in a fireside chat at an Empire Club of Canada event in Toronto. “It was a touch display, a clickable display, it had new applications. It was all done in an incredibly short period of time and it blew up on us.” Speaking for the first time publicly since his abrupt departure from BlackBerry in early 2012, Balsillie offered his take on how the company tumbled from its perch as the global smartphone leader, pointing to patents and aggressive competition from Apple. But he said the technical problems with the phone left customers returning it to stores, and that soured BlackBerry’s relationship with U.S. telecom

giant Verizon, which decided to sever ties with the Canadian company. “That was the time I knew we couldn’t compete on high-end hardware,” Balsillie said. Sporting a more laid-back look than his days at BlackBerry, then known as Research In Motion, Balsillie arrived dressed in a salmon-coloured blazer and khakis, with no tie — a stark contrast to the traditional business attire of most attendees. Balsillie focused on his hopes for change in Canada’s technology sector and called for a national lobby organization to help homebred startups get the attention they need to grow. He said industry and government need to work together if Canada is to hold its own against international competition in the tech world. “The Canadian government doesn’t understand the innovation economy,” he said. Balsillie pointed to successful American entrepreneurs, like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, as examples of quality of tech leaders who could be from Canada if they were given the right environment to grow.
TORONTO — The Ontario and federal governments are hoping that a recently retired, well-connected auto industry executive can help attract more global investment into Canada’s beleaguered automotive sector. Ray Tanguay, the former head of Toyota’s Canadian operations, has been chosen to chair a new auto investment committee at the Canadian Automotive Partnership Council. His role will involve serving as an adviser to the provincial and federal governments as well as the automotive industry. At a news conference in Toronto on Tuesday, Ontario’s minister of economic development highlighted Tanguay’s 24 years of industry experience and deep connections in the global auto sector. “If he makes a call, people are going to pick up the phone,” Brad Duguid said. “There’s no
question — Ray can open some doors for us internationally.” Canada, once an automotive manufacturing powerhouse, has been steadily losing its share of production to Mexico and the southern United States, where labour is cheaper. “There’s no denying that low-cost, low-standard jurisdictions have been getting the lion’s share of new (investments),” Duguid said.

Hedman is X-factor for Lightning BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Anton Stralman witnessed Victor Hedman fire a 120-foot slap pass to Ryan Callahan for a goal, and then lead the rush and set up Cedric Paquette for the game-winner. “How do you find those plays, man?” Stralman asked his defence partner in the Lightning locker-room after Tampa Bay edged Chicago 3-2 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final. Hedman had no real answer then, just like the Blackhawks have no answer for the six-foot-six, smooth-skating, two-way defenceman in this series. He’s by far the biggest reason the Lightning lead the Cup final two games to one and is their biggest X-factor on hockey’s biggest stage. “Words can’t describe the force he’s been out there for our team, not just offensively, but defensively,” captain Steven Stamkos said. “He’s been an absolute beast for us out there. Very rare do you see the combination of size and speed and smarts.” Chicago’s Duncan Keith has the speed and smarts, just like other elite defencemen who led their teams to the Cup. Hedman is more physically im-
posing, has the kind of long reach that is frustrating the Blackhawks and the wherewithal to see plays developing seconds before they do. Lightning veteran Brenden Morrow likened Hedman to Hall of Famer Scott Niedermayer, perhaps not as smooth but with the same kind of ability to get around the ice. In this series he is Tampa Bay’s answer to Keith, the 31-minuteper-night defenceman who has been the Blackhawks’ best player. “In a lot of ways, yeah, he is a guy like Duncan who makes, more times than not, the players he’s out there with better,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said Tuesday. “He’s a catalyst when he’s in his own zone or when he’s in the offensive zone. He’s one of those guys we definitely
need to get on a little bit more.” Hedman, a Conn Smythe candidate if the Lightning win, presents a two-sided problem for the Blackhawks. For one, he and Stralman have for the most part clamped down on Toews and linemates, and at the other end he has wreaked havoc with a series-high four assists. In Game 3 Monday night, H e d m a n made the two best plays of the night. With Callahan waiting at the far blue-line, the young Swede saw a Chicago defender fall and sent a perfect tape-to-tape stretch pass to him for the first goal. With just a few minutes left and the score tied, Hedman carried the puck up the ice, froze the Blackhawks and threaded a pass that Paquette just had to re-direct into a wide-open net.
“I try to take advantage of my speed obviously and try and take what’s there,” Hedman said.“For me it’s all about trying to make the plays that’s there and don’t try to force things too much and try to use my strengths as a player.” His Lightning teammates have known those strengths — his size, his poise, his vision and more — for years. Coach Jon Cooper pointed out it’s often a long evolution for a defenceman, and that Hedman, now in his sixth NHL season and second long playoff run, “has arrived.” Inexplicably kept off the Swedish Olympic team in Sochi, Hedman is shining in the Cup final and the world is noticing. Cooper called this Hedman’s “coming-out party.” Hedman would have been a Norris Trophy finalist had he not missed over 20 games with an injury. Being in the Western Conference the Blackhawks don’t see him play much, but he’s very much on their radar now. “He’s great player, he’s a big guy, he can skate, he can move, he can pass, he can shoot. He’s got all the tools,” Chicago defenceman Brent Seabrook said. “In this series, he’s been a big part for them.”
Cavs hold off Warriors for Game 3 win BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cavaliers 96 Warriors 91 CLEVELAND — LeBron James came home last summer to win a championship — one like no other. He’s two wins away. Pushed by a crowd howling to see Cleveland’s 51-year title drought end, James scored 40 points, his new sidekick Matthew Dellavedova added 20 and the Cavaliers survived Golden State’s furious fourth-quarter comeback led by Stephen Curry for a 9691 win over the Warriors on Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. James added 12 rebounds and eight assists in 46 minutes, his third stellar performance in his fifth straight finals. The Cavs, who won Game 2 at Golden State for their first ever finals win, now have their first at Quicken Loans Arena. They’ll have a chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-ofseven series in Game 4 on Thursday night. “This is a great moment and my teammates need me,” James said. “It’s my job to go out and lead those guys, teach those guys, yell at those guys and then come back and tell them it’s OK, let’s move to the next play.” Cleveland nearly threw Game 3 away. The Cavs led 92-83 with 51 seconds to go, but got careless with the ball and Curry heated up. The league’s MVP finally found his shooting touch in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 points as the Warriors, who trailed by 20 in the third quarter, refused to go away. Golden State got a huge lift from reserve David Lee, but they rode Curry, who made five 3-pointers — his last with 18.9 seconds to pull the Warriors within 94-91. Cleveland then caught a break when referee Danny Crawford blew an inadvertent whistle with 17.5 seconds to go after Golden State appeared to force a turnover. The officials, who have come under scrutiny for several missed calls in the series, then reviewed the play and it was clear that Klay Thompson was out of bounds when he made contact with the ball that Dellavedova was holding in his hands. James was fouled and made two free throws with 16.8 seconds left. On Golden State’s last possession, Andre

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, right, drives on Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes (40) during the second half of Game 3 of basketball’s NBA Finals in Cleveland, Tuesday. Iguodala appeared to get fouled on a 3-point attempt and the Cavs pulled down the rebound to close out a win that nearly slipped away. “We’ve got some learning to do,” James said. “I’ve always said about this team, the best teacher in life is experience. And that last minute and a half, we’ve got a lot to learn from.” After the final horn, Warriors coach Steve Kerr came on the floor and gave an earful to Crawford and the rest of his crew, Marc Davis and Derrick Stafford. Curry finished with 27 points, Iguodala 15 and Lee, who didn’t play in Games 1 or 2, had 11. James, who has had to play without
injured All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, once again was helped by Dellavedova, the pesky Australian guard who hounded Curry for three quarters, dived on the floor for loose balls and came up with a huge three-point play, flinging in a layup with 2:27 left to put the Cavs up 84-80. After two overtime games in Oakland, Game 3 didn’t have quite the same last-second drama, but it didn’t lack any intensity as players were sprawled on the floor fighting for loose balls like the Browns and 49ers scrambling for fumbles. The Cavs seemed to take control in the third, building their 20-point lead with a breathtaking 12-0 run that
included 3-pointers by James and J.R. Smith. Curry ended the spurt with a 3-pointer, the Warriors closed within 15 entering the fourth and they opened the final period with a 13-2 blast to make it 74-68. And when Curry dropped a stepback 3, Golden State was within four and closing fast. His layup made it 7976 and Curry missed a potential gametying before Dellavedova and James combined on a gorgeous alley-oop. But Golden State wasn’t finished, and Curry, who went just 2 of 15 on 3s in Game 2, put on the kind of shooting display that has made him one of the game’s most captivating players before the Warriors ran out of time.
Petersen, Fischer named Lightning athletes of year BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Coaches and administrators often point to the role sports play in developing students and individuals. It is more than just an appeal for additional funding. Linden Petersen, 18, is an example of that development, and on Tuesday at the Hunting Hills Lightning Athletics Banquet he was named male athlete of the year. “High school sports is probably the No. 1 thing that got me through high school, my grades, in class and out of class, it helped me develop a lot of friends,” said Petersen. “It teaches you how to man a lot of responsibilities, to get to class on time and get to practice to be allowed to play. The coaches demanding a lot help you become a young man and become responsible.” At six-foot-two, Petersen was also named the MVP of the basketball team, was a leader on the football team which won its fourth league championship in five years and also played badminton for the school. Playing all of those sports turned him into the man he has become. He is a player that doesn’t speak loudly but lets his game do all the talk-
HUNTING HILLS ATHLETIC AWARDS ing. “Linden was a treat to coach,” said Lightning football coach Kyle Sedgwick. “He is such a smooth athlete, he’s one of those guys where you tell him something once and he gets it, he’s very competiLinden Petersen tive, but very quiet and unassuming, he just went about his business and sometimes those are the best leaders.” Adding that he missed most of his Grade 10 year due to an injury, but was one of two Lightning players to play both ways in 2013 to the point where he was named a conference all-star at receiver, and then contributed all over the field this past season, even lining up at running back and a kick returning. On the basketball court he was a key cog on the men’s basketball team at shooting guard. Petersen says his drive was forged by on-court battles with his brother Chris Petersen, who just completed his first season as libero for the SAIT Tro-
jans men’s volleyball team. His goal is to join his brother at SAIT as a walk on in 2016 but playing for the basketball team. “We played JV basketball together and he was always there on me, pushing me harder and Nicole Fischer harder everyday, making sure I got better to win that MVP award, actually,” said Linden Petersen. “He was always better so I always strived to be better than him.” Nicole Fischer, 17, made it a basketball MVP sweep by winning the female athlete of the year award. She was also a starter on the senior girls volleyball team at middle and played tennis as well. “It’s an honour, I honestly was shocked,” said Fischer, who was the starting post on the basketball team. “I have such great coaching to help me through this, and I have to thank my parents and my family and my teammates.”

The five-foot-11 Fischer says her competitive athletic career is likely over, as she moves on to the kinesiology program at Red Deer College, but she is wanting to go into a different aspect of sports. She wants to come back to Hunting Hills and help coach the girls basketball team, giving back to coached Jill de Jong and Donna Potts and to a program that gave her so much. “I just love sharing my information with the kids and getting to know new people and passing on all that I’ve experienced through the years from the people I’ve met on to them to make them better players,” said Fischer. The banquet wrapped up a successful season for the athletic department, that included success in almost every sport, and those that struggled like rugby and soccer show a lot of promise for the future. “It’s just been a year of celebration all of the way through,” said Hunting Hills athletic director Jackie Waisman. “The coaches all stepped up to do a wonderful job for us in the athletics program which makes it so easy to offer the program, and the athletes’ enthusiasm has just been incredible.” For the full list of awards, see scoreboard. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

His two medals — gold in the intermediate boys 800 metres (One minute, 53.98 seconds), silver in the 1500 metres (4:00.51) — vaulted Hunting Hills into seventh place among all 4A schools in the province, and was the top 4A entrant from Central Alberta. Also earning a medal from Hunting Hills at Lethbridge was senior girls athlete Erika Pearson who earned silver in triple jump with a best of 10.73 metres. The Lindsay Thurber Raiders had a strong overall showing, finishing eighth overall among 4A schools with their top athlete Kelsey Lalor getting the school’s only medal, a gold in the intermediate javelin at 39.12 metres. It was a tough weekend for the Notre Dame Cougars as top male athlete and medal hopeful Brayden
Posyluzny was forced to withdraw from several events after injuring his foot in the 110-metre hurdles. With the Canadian Combined events Championships on the horizon June 19-21 in Ottawa, the decathlete decided best not to push it further. Notre Dame finished 22 overall among 4A schools. Natalie Frenette (junior girls discus) and Connor Sinnamen (junior boys triple jump) both had the high-water marks for the school with sixth place finishes. Lacombe had a huge weekend, finishing second in 3A, and compiled more points than any other Central Alberta school. The Rams finished with five medals overall as Chris Andrews earned gold in senior boys shot put (15.39 metres) and silver in discus (36.52 metres. In Intermediate girls, Jerelle Bristol (100 metre dash, 12.61 seconds) and Chantelle Park (long jump, 5.43 metres) both earned silver medals and then added a bronze medal in the 4x100 relay, also teaming with Jayden Nelson and Courtney Petrie.
Encarnacion keeps Blue Jays win streak alive with walk-off home run
Olds’ performance in the pole vault jumped them into fourth place in 3A schools with three medal, a gold in intermediate boys from Baylen Unger (3.60 metres), a gold in junior boys from Dawson Green (3.20 metres) and a bronze in intermediate girls from Jansi Nel (2.60 metres). Innisfail’s Emily Lucas had the best individual day out of any athlete from the zone, collecting gold medals in both the senior girls 1,500 metres (4:44.28) and the 3,000 metres (10:33.57). Bentley held its own among 1A schools, finishing second overall in the category, led by Kai Poffenroth’s two-medal effort, with a silver in the senior boys high jump (1.93 metres) and a bronze in the discus (35.66 metres), while Rachel Hyink earned silver in intermediate girls pole vault (2.60 metres) and bronze in high jump (1.60 metres). Savanna Spendiff added a bronze in senior girls javelin (35.34 metres). Caroline’s Johnny Carr rounded out the Central Alberta medal haul with a bronze in the intermediate boys discus.

Red Wings introduce Jeff Blashill as new coach to replace Mike Babcock
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 4 Marlins 3 TORONTO — Edwin Encarnacion didn’t have to wait long for a fastball from A.J. Ramos. He got it on his first pitch. Down 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Encarnacion hit a two-run, walk-off home run to rally the Toronto Blue Jays to their seventh straight win, 4-3 over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. “I just try to make good swings and look for my pitch and the homers come,” Encarnacion said. “I was looking for my fastball at the beginning of the count. He threw me a first-pitch fastball and I didn’t miss it.” Josh Donaldson led off the bottom of the ninth with a single to right field — also on the first pitch he saw from Ramos. After a strikeout to Jose Bautista, Encarnacion hit his 13th homer of the season over the centre-field fence. Encarnacion, who was back in the lineup Tuesday after receiving a cortisone shot on Saturday for a shoulder injury he sustained over the weekend, also hit a sacrifice fly as the Blue Jays (30-30) climbed back to .500 for the first time since May 12. “Right now I feel 100 per cent, I don’t feel pain,” Encarnacion said. “I just have to keep doing my treatment.” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was thrilled the have his power-hitting DH back in his batting order. “That’s why it’s so important to have Eddie in the lineup healthy because he can do that,” Gibbons said. “We’re on a roll, we’re feeling good. You get on those rolls where good things happen and you start believing they’re going to happen, and who knows.” Bautista drove in another run

Reliever Liam Hendriks (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win. Giancarlo Stanton hit two home runs — his 20th and 21st of the season — and Christian Yelich also homered for the Marlins (24-35). J.T. Realmuto had three hits. “His swing right now and where he is with his balance and letting the ball travel, he looks good. He’s so strong,” Marlins manager Dan Jennings said of Stanton. “Right now he’s locked in and that can be a good thing because he can do a lot of damage when he gets like that.” Even Toronto starter Mark Buehrle couldn’t help but be impressed with Stanton. “The guy’s a beast out there, man,” he said. “I think people
know that.” Buehrle pitched six innings, giving up two runs and six hits with one intentional walk (to Stanton in the fifth inning). He also struck out three batters. Roberto Osuna gave up Stanton’s second homer of the game — a tie-breaking shot with two out in the seventh inning. Dan Haren went seven strong innings for Miami, giving up two runs on just three hits while striking out seven batters. Ramos (0-1) was charged with the loss after giving up his first home run since May 28, 2014. Stanton’s first homer of the game over the left-field fence gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead in the first inning and halted Buehrle’s scoreless-innings streak at 17.
DETROIT — Jeff Blashill was hired Tuesday by the Detroit Red Wings, ending a fairly un-suspenseful coaching search that began when Mike Babcock left to take over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Blashill has coached Detroit’s minor league affiliate in Grand Rapids for the past three seasons, and he was an obvious candidate for the Red Wings once Babcock left. Detroit general manager Ken Holland acknowledged right away that he was going to talk to Blashill about the job, but the Griffins made it to the conference finals in the AHL playoffs. Blashill’s promotion was announced Tuesday. Blashill led Grand Rapids to the Calder Cup in 2013. He says he’d been eyeing the Red Wings’ job since it became clear Babcock’s future was uncertain. A Detroit native, Blashill coached at Western Michigan before joining the Red Wings’ organization. Blashill was an assistant coach for the Red Wings in 2011-12 before taking over at Grand Rapids. Blashill’s success in the minors and his familiarity with many players in Detroit’s system made him a clear candidate to replace Babcock. But he’ll be under plenty of pressure now. The Red Wings won a Stanley Cup under Babcock in 2008, and they’ve been in the playoffs for 24 consecutive seasons. The Red Wings have advanced past the first round of the playoffs only once in the last four seasons. They lost to Tampa Bay in seven games in the opening round this year.
Eugenie Bouchard starts grass-court season with loss at Topshelf Open S-HERTOGENBOSCH, Netherlands — Back on her favourite surface, top-seeded Eugenie Bouchard lost in the first round at the Topshelf Open on Tuesday. Bouchard, who last year became the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon, was beaten by by Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. Bouchard reached three consecutive Grand Slam semifinals last year but is going through a difficult season, having lost nine of her past 10 matches, and dropped out of the top-10 rankings. She lost her opening match at the French Open.
DeLaet putting more than just name behind kids program am now in life, and I couldn’t be here without golf and the people that helped me along the way,” DeLaet said on a conference call from Chicago, the morning after taking in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final. “And I just think it’s common sense and a no-brainer thing to give back to what got me to where I’m at. “I think this is the greatest game in the world and it teaches kids so many good values: honesty and integrity and sportsmanship ... the more kids we get playing golf I think, the better.” DeLaet, who currently holds the No. 86 position in the world rankings, made the announcement the day after withdrawing from U.S. Open sectional qualifying in Columbus, Ohio. DeLaet said he withdrew to avoid the toll the qualifying would take on his body, especially with rain forecast for the event. “There was some weather coming in and 18 holes is hard enough on my body these days, but a 36-hole qualifier might have been a little difficult, especially in some rain,” said DeLaet. Despite the withdrawal, he feels he’s finally rounding into form after a frustrating start to his season that was hampered by nagging injuries, includ-

Graham DeLaet wanted to lend more than just his name to the Golf in Schools program when he signed on as the program’s ambassador. So Canada’s top men’s golfer plans to make some surprise appearances when the program is up and running again next school year. “I’d love to pop into schools, especially in Weyburn, my hometown,” DeLaet said. “I know if I was a kid and we were taking hockey in school and an NHLer came in, it would ramp it up a little bit, so I think being around it ... was important to us.” The 33-year-old was named ambassador Tuesday for the program that brings golf to 2,700 schools, teaching the sport through the physical education curriculum. DeLaet said he never had the opportunity to pick up a club while in school. He credits his mom and dad — both avid golfers — for giving him his start, enrolling him in a “junior junior” golf program at age three. “Then after my dad was off work, we’d go out and play three or four holes,” DeLaet said. “When you’re five years old, that’s about all you can handle. That’s OLF OURSE how it all got started.” Executive Par Three DeLaet will appear on the program’s promotional 9 Hole Rate materials, including learn$ 2200 ing resources and videos, www.gull-lake-golf.ca Junior/Senior and he and his wife Ruby $ 00 — who’s expecting twins • Tee Times • Tournament Bookings 17 in December — will raise • BBQ/Banquet Facilities • Club Rentals • Lessons funds for the program through their charitable Location: foundation.

But the last three weeks I felt like I’ve gained a little bit of confidence, I’ve been feeling really well and I think it’s starting to show. “The biggest part of this game is feeling good but being confident and letting things snowball.” He finished in a tie for 26th place at the Memorial Tournament last week, tied for 22nd a week earlier at the AT&T Byron Nelson, and finished in a tie for 53rd a week before that at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. He said over these last three weeks, he’s finally felt in contention again. “Obviously you look at the scores and where I finished, and you may not think that,” he said. “But a golfer always knows inside when he’s playing well, and right now I am playing well and that’s the main thing for me is now I can finally get some confidence and a bit of belief in myself.”

Ellis Bird Farm Grade one and two students from G.W. Smith Elementary School in Red Deer do some dip netting from the pier. Charlie Ellis understood the importance of wetlands and built several dams and dugouts on the farm. In 1995 this pond was created by impounding some of the spring runoff which flows through Jonas Creek which bisects the farm. In addition to their ecological benefits, wetlands are enjoyed by people for the recreational opportunities they present. They also provide important ecological services by regulating water flow, recharging underground aquifers, and trapping and filtering sediments and pollutants.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JEFF STOKOE /ADVOCATE STAFF The Ellis family (John and Agnes, with children Alex, May, Charlie and Winnie) arrived in the Prentis District east of Blackfalds in the spring of 1906. They lived in an old log house until they could build a two-story frame home in 1907. Charlie and Winnie remained on the farm
until Charlie’s passing in 1990. After Winnie moved into a nursing home in 1991, plans were developed to transform the old house into a Tea House. With help of a team of vounteers, the home was cleaned and minor kitchen renovations were undertaken. The Tea House opened for business in the spring of 1995. Today the Tea House at Ellis Bird Farm is a busy hub of activity, serving home-cooked fare to thousands of visitors each summer. The Ellis Bird Farm is open to the public Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 5 p.m.

LEFT; The Ellis Bird Farm has assembled what is believed to be the world’s largest outdoor collection of functional Bluebird nestboxes. Over 200 different box styles are now on display. The boxes have been sent from across North America and from as far away as Sweden and the Netherlands. TOP; Ben Hulyk and Nolin Thygesen play on one of the antique tractors in the yard on the farm. The two boys were visiting the farm with their classmates from the Wonderflow School House preschool in Red Deer. RIGHT; A Purple Martin perches on top of a gourd shaped bird house. Purple Martins are the largest species of swallow in North America. They spend most of their lives in Brazil, returning to the northern breeding grounds only long enough to rase a single family. Charlie and Winnie Ellis had up to 30 pairs of martins nesting near their home (now the Tea House) between 1975 and 1981. Winnie attributed their disappearance in 1982 to a late April cold snap, when the birds froze in their nests. Martins returned in 1999 and now nest in almost all available compartments.

A woman accused of a three-year fraud of false massage receipts will go to trial after missing her court date last week. Noralyn Zadrozny, 33, of Red Deer faces charges of fraud over $5,000 and using a forged document. She and Donna Nast were charged in February for an elaborate scheme to defraud Alberta Blue Cross of more than $119,000 between Jan. 1, 2007, and Jan. 31, 2010. Defence counsel Lorne Goddard, on behalf of Zadrozny, elected to be tried by Court of Queen’s Bench before a judge alone, with the benefit of a preliminary inquiry.

Benalto is boosting its old train station with a new foundation that is underway. Benalto Booster Club president Dick Snook dug the first shovelful of dirt last week before a track hoe took over. The Benalto Train Station, in the background, was donated and moved back to the hamlet in the spring of 2013, after a 42-year absence. Donations by MWR Contracting and Shield Structures are helping prepare the grand old station for its next phase of life. The train station is intended to act as a community centre, museum and gathering area for Benalto residents and visitors. The project has attracted donations from individuals, groups and businesses. Anyone who wants to contribute to the project can mail donations to Benalto Booster Club, Box 135, Benalto, AB, T0M 0H0.

Sylvan Lake, which relies on wells for its drinking water, is allowing hand watering of plants or new sod before noon or after 7 p.m. The town is encouraging residents to conserve water by using rain water barrels, washing only full loads of clothes, taking shorter showers, installing low-flow water fixtures and mulching lawns. Environment Canada is calling for sporadic showers in the Red Deer area this week, which may provide some relief.

Back to school for Degrassi NEW INSTALMENT OF FRANCHISE TO DEBUT ON FAMILY CHANNEL IN JANUARY 2016 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Class is back in session for the beloved Degrassi franchise. Days after MTV Canada said it would no longer run the teen serial, Family Channel said Tuesday it will debut a new instalment in January 2016. The youth-focused network said Degrassi: Next Class will return with 20 half-hour episodes, with cast members from the most recent incarnation reprising their roles. Like its predecessors, the new version will tackle tough issues such as homophobia, racism, substance abuse, body issues and the complications of dating in the social media age. Executive producer Stephen Stohn says the channel-jump coincides with his own shifting plans for the series. Stohn said he began musing on targeting a new audience — Generation Z — back in January when they were preparing for the upcoming season on MTV. “We realized that what we wanted to do is refocus Degrassi — for many years we’ve been telling stories to the millennial generation,” Stohn said. “This is the young generation that either were born after 9/11 or whose first memories are after 9/11. So they know a world that is not a friendly world, it’s a world of terror, it’s a world of financial uncertainty and it’s a world of school violence. And also they have grown up with a phone and often a smart phone in their hands.” MTV announced Thursday it was ending the series’ 14-year run on Bell Media channels including CTV, Much and MTV. The sudsy teen saga moves to Family Channel as the youth-focused broadcaster breaks from Disney fare and rebuilds its lineup. An executive with DHX Television — which owns Family Channel and last year bought the international distribution rights to Degrassi — said adding Degrassi: Next Class allows the channel to serve their targeted audience of 14-to-16-year-olds “in a more directed way.” “As we look to the future this provides us an opportunity in that later time (slot) to develop a more teen-oriented block,” Joe Tedesco, senior vicepresident and general manager, said Tuesday from Banff. He said Family Channel viewer-

Days after MTV Canada said it would no longer run the teen serial, Family Channel said Tuesday it will debut a new instalment in January 2016. ship drops off after about 8 p.m. — bed time for many of its eight-to-10-year-old viewers and prime time on conventional channels that compete for its teen viewers. “Some of them are probably going over to MTV to watch Degrassi, so we certainly saw a real opportunity for us in that time slot to create a block of programming,” said Tedesco, adding that more additions will complement Degrassi. Degrassi: Next Class is produced by DHX Media’s Epitome Pictures, in association with Family Channel and the streaming service Netflix, which will run the show worldwide starting early next year. Netflix Canada will get the series after its initial run on Family, said a DHX publicist. Stohn said the Netflix deal is already shaping the way stories are being written, and ensures that the

the whole child approach
show’s edge won’t soften just because it is on Family Channel. “We’re going for the online audience,” he said, insisting the show will continue to push boundaries. “Netflix allows us to go there.” Stohn said the first 12 episodes have already been written, with streaming in mind. “Knowing that (audiences) could be seeing the next episode right away does provide for a different writing experience. You can have more continuous storylines without that weeklong gap, necessarily, between episodes,” he said. The move cements Degrassi as the longest-running dramatic television series in Canadian history. The fran-
chise is currently celebrating its 35th anniversary. This is just the latest reboot from the Halifax-based company. Last week, DHX Television announced it was resurrecting the kids’ TV show Teletubbies for its rebranded preschool channel Family Jr. in late 2015. The series, featuring costumed characters Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po, will be reimagined for a new generation with “a CGI-enhanced aesthetic.” Degrassi ends its MTV run with a final batch of episodes airing weeknights, starting July 20.

Naked tourist saga shows need for cultural tact among travellers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — While travelling in Thailand, Heather Greenwood Davis was asked to cover her bare arms prior to visiting the Buddha. She happily obliged. “I’m in their place, I need to cover up, and I did,” said the Toronto-based travel writer behind the website Globetrotting Mama. “That is why people travel for the most part, we want to go and experience these new things and live lives a little different than what we have at home. You’ve got to take the steps to understand what the rules are.” Two Canadians made headlines over the weekend when they were accused of disregarding the rules and stripping on a sacred mountain in Malaysia. Saskatchewan siblings Lindsey and Danielle Petersen have been detained in the country and Malaysian officials said the alleged incident was so offensive that it caused a deadly earthquake. Being mindful of local traditions while abroad is one of the basic rules of responsible travel, say experts like Greenwood Davis. “If you’re travelling and you’ve got a guide who is saying to you: ’Don’t do this, this is not something that’s allowed to be done,’ take that as valuable advice,” she said Tuesday. Officials say several foreigners — including the Petersens — broke away from their guided group and took photos of themselves naked on the peak of Mount Kinabalu on the island of Borneo. Locals believe the popular hiking destination for tourists is a sacred resting place for ancient spirits. “It comes down to respect,” said Greenwood Davis, who travelled to 29 countries during a year-long adventure

with her husband and two sons in 2011. “You’re visiting someone just the same way as if you were visiting someone’s home and you would behave accordingly. You wouldn’t sort of barge in (like a) bull in a china shop and act any particular way you’d want.” Outpost senior writer-editor Simon Vaughan, who has visited more than 50 countries, referenced the alleged stripping incident in a blog post for the magazine titled “Travelling with Respect.” “We don’t hesitate to spend a lot of time and a lot of money travelling to distant places to see these temples, or in this case, a mountain,” he said in an interview. “But unfortunately, because we put all of that effort into it, we don’t necessarily take the extra step of really appreciating why they are sacred and why they are spiritual.” Vaughan said it can be difficult for travellers to properly inform themselves of everything everywhere they visit. But he said it’s critical for tourists to be observant when they arrive at their destination — and to do their homework ahead of time. “If you just go and see a particularly nice building somewhere, you appreciate it perhaps from an architectural perspective. But only once you’ve done some research do you really understand what went into its construction, what the significance is, why it’s facing in a particular direction. “I think it’s not even really important to do that research when you arrive at a particular spot in terms of the way you act there, but it’s also important in terms of the experience you take away from it. “And of course today with the Internet, it doesn’t have to mean that you spend a day in the library before you leave home.”

HATE CRIMES Statistics Canada says the number of hate crimes reported to police in 2013 dropped by 17 per cent from 2012. The agency says police reported 1,167 hate crimes in 2013, 247 fewer than the year before. It says the decline was mainly attributable to a 30-per-cent drop in nonviolent hate crime incidents, primarily mischief. The report says hate crimes motivated by hatred of race or ethnicity represented about 51 per cent of the total. Religious hate crimes accounted
for 28 per cent, while 16 per cent were crimes motivated by hatred of a sexual orientation. Racial or ethnic hate crimes dropped 17 per cent between 2012 and 2013, with the largest declines coming in incidents targeting Arab, West Asian and black populations. There were small increases in reported hate crimes against East and Southeast Asian populations as well as whites. Black populations were still the most frequent target of hate crimes, with 22 per cent of all incidents. Religion-motivated hate crime incidents were down 22 per cent from 2013.

Protests follow video of officer drawing gun on black teens Brandon Brooks, the teen who recorded the video, told KDFW that tensions rose after a white woman and a black teenager had an altercation. He said the white woman told the teen “to go back to Section 8 housing,” a reference to federal housing aid given to low-income families. Brooks said the officer was “out of line” and that he felt compelled to keep filming when Casebolt pulled out his gun. “At that point, my heart did drop and I was scared that someone was going to get shot and possibly killed,” he said. McKinney Mayor Brian Loughmiller said city officials plan to meet with community leaders. “We really need to come together as a community,” the mayor said. Most people were released, except for one man arrested for interference with the duties of a police officer and evading arrest, police said. Casebolt was accused in a federal lawsuit of racial profiling and excessive force during a 2007 arrest. He and other officers arrested Albert Brown Jr., who authorities say was found with crack cocaine during a traffic stop. Brown, who is black, sued Casebolt and the officers, accusing them of forcibly searching him after pulling down his pants and slamming his head against a car hood. An attorney for Casebolt and the other officers denied Brown’s accusations.

in 2006 as part of a peace deal to end a separatist war. A religious police and court system have been established and the new restrictions on women are a further strengthening of Sharia in the province. Last year, Aceh lawmakers passed a law that punishes gay sex by public caning and subjects non-Muslims to strict interpretation of Sharia. People convicted of gambling, adultery and drinking alcohol already face caning, as do women wearing tight jeans. Ninik Rahayu from the Indonesian Institute for Empowerment of Women and Children said Tuesday that the directive is discriminatory and contrary to Indonesia’s constitution. She said the policy shows the inability of the local government to provide adequate protection for residents. The directive also prohibits children from being at public places unaccompanied after 10 p.m. Djamal said employing women until late at night constitutes exploitation and makes them vulnerable to sexual harassment. “We have studied the matter thoroughly and this is in line with the labour laws,” Djamal said. “Our aim is to protect women employees, especially those working at entertainment spots.”
BRIEF Indonesia mayor orders curfew for women BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — The capital of Indonesia’s devout Aceh province has imposed a partial curfew for women that it says will reduce sexual violence but which critics say is discriminatory. Banda Aceh Mayor Illiza Sa’aduddin Djamal ordered venues including restaurants, sport centres, Internet cafes and tourist attractions to not serve women after 11 p.m. unless accompanied by their husbands or other male family members. The directive, dated June 4, also prohibits women from working in such establishments after 11 p.m. Aceh hews to fundamentalism more so than other areas in the Muslim-majority nation, and Indonesia’s secular central government granted it the right to implement a version of Shariah law

MCKINNEY, Texas — Hundreds of demonstrators marched Monday night to the pool where a white police officer pinned a black teenage girl to the ground and pulled a gun on others over the weekend. The protesters carried signs that included the phrases, “My skin colour is not a crime.” Some community activists in McKinney, an affluent, predominantly white Dallas suburb, have accused Eric Casebolt, a 41-year-old officer, of racism in an incident caught on video that quickly drew national attention. Others urged calm until the facts are investigated. According to neighbours, a woman who lives in the community reserved the pool for a party, said Benet Embry, a black local radio personality who witnessed Friday’s incident. About 130 people, mostly kids, showed up. At one point, several kids began jumping over the fence to get in and were causing a disturbance, Embry said, and a couple of fights broke out. “This was a teenage party that got out of hand,” Embry said. Police said some of the young people did not live in the area and did not have permission to be at the pool. In the video captured by a teenager, the girl in a bikini repeatedly cries out, “Call my momma!” as Casebolt pins her to the ground, only moments after drawing his handgun on other black teens. “On your face!” he yelled at the girl, amid screaming from a crowd of Powered by onlookers. Central Alberta’s Casebolt has been placed on administrative career site leave.

our own investigation.” Chris Stewart, a lawyer for Scott’s family, said he plans to file a wrongful death civil suit against North Charleston, most likely by the end of July, and will keep close watch on the criminal prosecution meanwhile. Slager has said he initially tried to stun Scott with his Taser when both men scuffled over the stun gun and he fired his handgun at Scott in selfdefence. The video shows the men briefly scuffling before Scott runs away and the officer fires at Scott’s back. The charge against Slager is the fourth in recent months in South Carolina involving white officers shooting at unarmed black men. One ended in a mistrial in January and is set for retrial next week.

the indictment. Wilson said no trial date has yet been sent. “I don’t think that I’m ready for it to go into trial just yet,” Anthony Scott said in the interview. “But we’ll be ready when the time comes.” Wilson said the murder charge requires prosecutors to prove what is referred to as “malice aforethought.” That’s a form of premeditation, but Wilson explains that it doesn’t mean Slager would have had to think about killing Scott for a certain period of time before firing. She says the state can prove it’s murder “as long as malice exists in the heart and mind at the time before and during the killing.” Slager’s defence lawyer, Andy Savage, said he won’t comment “until we have an opportunity to fully evaluate the state’s case and to compare it with

Hezbollah repels attack by Islamic State on Lebanon-Syria border BEIRUT — Hezbollah gunmen repelled an attack Tuesday by Islamic State extremists in an area along the Lebanon-Syria border as a major battle between the two groups looms in the rugged mountainous region, Hezbollah’s TV station reported. According to Al-Manar TV, the IS group targeted several Hezbollah positions outside the northeastern Lebanese border village of Ras Baalbek. The ensuing battle left at least five IS fighters dead or wounded, including the group’s leader in the Qalamoun border region identified as Saudi national Walid Abdel Mohsen al-Omari, the channel said. It did not say whether there were casualties among Hezbollah fighters. Al-Manar said Hezbollah also captured 14 IS bodies the militants were unable to retrieve. Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Shiite group, has been on the offensive in Syria’s Qalamoun mountains for weeks and has captured territory from alQaida’s branch in Syria, the Nusra Front. With the Nusra Front almost defeated in the area, a major battle is expected between Hezbollah and the Islamic State group. Hezbollah is deeply involved in Syria’s civil war, fighting alongside President Bashar Assad’s forces. The Lebanese group cites fears the Sunni militants will sweep through Shiite and Christian villages in diverse Lebanon as the reason for its involvement in Syria. The total area of the Qalamoun mountains that is being contested is about 1,000 square kilometres (386 square miles) — of which 340 square kilometres (131 square miles) lie in Lebanon and are under the control of IS militants and the Nusra Front, according to Hezbollah. On Monday, Al-Manar said that Hezbollah fighters and Syrian troops have so far captured half the area.
U.S. finds peeling back the Iran sanctions onion no easy task WASHINGTON — The Obama administration may have to backtrack on its promise that it will suspend only nuclear-related economic sanctions on Iran as part of an emerging nuclear agreement, officials and others involved in the process tell The Associated Press. The problem derives from what was once a strong point of the broad U.S. sanctions effort that many credit with bringing Iran to the negotiating table in the first place. Under the sanctions developed over decades, hundreds of companies and individuals have been penalized not only for their role in the country’s nuclear program but also for ballistic missile research, terrorism, human rights violations and money laundering. Now the administration is wending its way through that briar patch of interwoven economic sanctions. The penalties are significant. Sanctioned foreign governments, companies or individuals are generally barred from doing business with U.S. citizens and businesses, or with foreign entities operating in the American financial system. The restrictions are usually accompanied by asset and property freezes as well as visa bans. Negotiators hope to conclude a final nuclear deal by June 30. According to a framework reached in April, the U.S. will be required to lift sanctions that are related to Iran’s nuclear program but could leave others in place. President Barack Obama can suspend almost all U.S. TRAVEL WITH measures against Iran, though only Congress can revoke them perma“because we care” nently. “Iran knows that PAY FOR 5 our array of sanctions CASINO DAY TRIPS focused on its efforts to - 6TH DAY TRIP IS FREE support terrorism and destabilize the region CENTURY CASINO will continue after any EDMONTON nuclear agreement,” Tues June 2 Treasury Secretary Jack CENTURY DOWNS Lew told a gathering BALSAC of American Jews in a Tues June 30 weekend speech.

GERMANWINGS
PARIS — The first victims’ remains from the Germanwings crash will be flown from France to Germany on Tuesday, about 11 weeks after the disaster that killed all 150 people onboard. Dozens of victims’ relatives from the March 24 crash in the French Alps have been awaiting the return of the remains. In the first repatriation, 44 coffins were expected to be flown from Marseille to Duesseldorf, Germany. Germanwings’ parent company Lufthansa has chartered a plane to bring the coffins to Germany, and has said that other remains will be repatriated by month’s end. Elmar Giemulla, a lawyer for families of 34 victims, said many relatives “don’t want to realize that their children are dead. It will be brutal when they see the coffins tomorrow, but it is necessary, because they need closure.” Investigators believe co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who had a history of depression, intentionally crashed the A320 flying from Barcelona, Spain to Duesseldorf. The office of Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin,
who is leading a French investigation into the crash, said that he will hold a news conference on Thursday after meeting in Paris with victims’ relatives. The victims had 19 different nationalities. Nearly half were German, and 47 were Spanish. Robin’s office said he was expecting 300 to 400 people to attend the closed-door meeting at a Foreign Ministry conference centre in southwest Paris, including relatives and officials representing families who weren’t travelling to Paris. The family of two Australian victims, Carol Friday and her son Greig, won’t be attending, said her brother, Malcolm Coram. Coram visited the crash site about a month ago, and told The Associated Press it was simply too far to return again so soon. Coram said he wasn’t sure when Carol and Greig’s remains will be returned to Australia, but he expects it would be sometime before August. He said the family has been happy with the way that Germanwings and authorities have been communicating with them. “We get treated very well,” he said. “What’s done is done for us — we just sort of want it to end.”
Manson trial prosecutor dies at 80 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Vincent Bugliosi, a prosecutor who parlayed his handling of the Charles Manson trial into a career as a bestselling author, has died, his son said Monday night. He was 80 years old. Bugliosi, who had struggled with cancer in recent years, died Saturday night at a hospital in Los Angeles, his son, Vincent Bugliosi Jr., said. Bugliosi Jr. said his father had “an unflagging dedication to justice” in everything he did. As an author, Bugliosi Sr. was best known for Helter Skelter, which was his account of the Manson Family and the killings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others by Vincent Bugliosi followers of the cult leader, Charles Manson. Bugliosi had prosecuted Manson and his female followers, winning convictions in one of America’s most sensational trials. He was an unknown Los Angeles deputy district attorney on Aug. 9, 1969, when the bodies of Tate, the beautiful actress wife of Roman Polanski, and four others were discovered butchered by unknown
assailants who left bloody scrawlings on the door of her elegant home. The victims included members of Hollywood’s glitterati: celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring; coffee heiress Abigail Folger; Polish film director Voityck Frykowksi; Tate, who was 8 ½-months pregnant; and Steven Parent, the friend of a caretaker. A night later, two more mutilated bodies were found across town in another upscale neighbourhood. The crime scene was marked with the same bloody scrawlings of words including, “Pigs” and “Rise” and “Helter Skelter.” The victims were grocers Rosemary and Leno LaBianca, who had no connection to Tate and her glamorous friends. Bugliosi was one of those assigned to the team of prosecutors while the case was being investigated. When members of the rag tag Manson Family were caught and charged with the crimes months later, a more veteran prosecutor, Aaron Stovitz, was named head of the district attorney’s team and Bugliosi was assigned the second chair. But before long, a dispute arose between Stovitz and his boss over a remark he made to the media. He was summarily removed from the case and the intense, ambitious Bugliosi stepped into the role of a lifetime. The trial of Manson and three female followers, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten, lasted 9 ½ months and became a courtroom drama that rivaled any cinematic trial. It cost Los Angeles County $1 million

Every couple has a different dynamic Dear Annie: My dad died two years ago. He was 73. Mom misses him so much. When we visit, she talks about all the nice things Dad used to do. This makes me sick. When Dad was alive, he never missed a birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or any other important day. He would always buy candy and flowers MITCHELL and give a card & SUGAR to my mom. I never once saw Mom thank him, and she never bought him a thing, not even a card. I once asked Dad whether he minded not getting a gift from Mom,

and he said he had four wonderful gifts already: his wife and three children. He often talked about how he met Mom in school and loved her from Day One. When Dad was alive, I asked Mom why she never got him gifts or cards. She told me, “He can buy anything he wants. Why should I buy him anything?” When he called her his high school sweetheart, she would say, “Don’t remind me.” Now she raves about him. I don’t understand. — Missing Dad Dear Missing: Your parents developed a certain dynamic over the years: She played hard to get, and he showered her with affection and attention. This probably started in high school. It doesn’t mean they didn’t love each other or that your mother doesn’t miss him terribly. Every couple has their own pattern of behaviour, and when it works, both are content, regardless of how it may appear to others.
We know you think your father deserved better, but your mother is the one he wanted. And won. Dear Annie: Should I have given my daughter a gift on Mother’s Day? She is married and has a child. Father’s Day is coming up. Should I give a gift to my son-in-law? — Mother Dear Mother: Giving gifts to people on these days is entirely optional. Some people give only to their mothers. Others give to their mothers and wives. Still others give to daughters and daughters-in-law. The same goes for fathers, and the list is endless. If you wish to give your daughter a gift on Mother’s Day, by all means do so. If you would rather not set such a precedent, you could give her a card. If you want to do something in between, a card with a rose is lovely, or the two of you could go out for brunch.
HOROSCOPES
BRIEF Bull yak flees farm at sight of bear, leaving cows, calves to fend for themselves ANCHORAGE, Alaska — When a curious brown bear showed up at an Anchorage area farm, the cows in a small yak herd there defiantly surrounded the calves. But not the lone bull, Stormy: he sprinted away. KTUU-TV reports that Stormy ran through Eagle Peaks Farm, hopped the fence and kept going. Angie Johnson owns the 25-acre (10-hectare) farm with her husband and describes the female yaks as “fierce.” She says it was cool to see them stand their ground against the bear, which never got into the field. As soon as Stormy left, one of Angie’s teenage sons started tracking the chronic runaway. The bull has broken loose two other times and earned the nickname “Wimpy” for his last escape. He was coaxed back into the pen with the help of a cow.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS
Why Live and Work Anywhere Else? Dear Dr. D:
I just retired to this area from a much smaller community 'up north'. In that town we had a dentist fly in from Vancouver for a few days per month. For dental emergencies the best that we could hope for were painkillers at the health clinic until the dentist returned. I believe I am due for some serious dentistry if I am to keep my teeth now, and wonder if I wouldn't be better off just going to Calgary or Edmonton for it. I understand there are not a lot of specialists in central Alberta and this concerns me. Central Alberta sounds like a metropolis compared to your last A: home! In my professional and personal opinion, you live in the best place in the province. I presume you chose your last residence for either work or personal interests. If you moved here something must have attracted you. Great people and good facilities of all kinds for healthcare and true comprehensive dentistry rival what you can obtain elsewhere. It would be incorrect to believe any dental service is lacking simply because we don't have a larger population. A colleague has been serving on dental missions in the jungles of the third world for decades. He has a portable dental lab that literally fits in a hockey duffel bag. His assistant carries a folding dental chair that is about the size of the lounger on any porch or deck anywhere. Providing they can obtain clean water (which they can 'make' if they have to) he can perform most normal dental functions including root canals. Modern drugs speed recovery, and there is a lineup of people with a host of oral health problems wherever he goes. We don't have many specialists right here, but we're only a short drive to either Calgary or Edmonton. A general practice dentist today has today technology that didn't exist decades ago. We have CAD/CAM equipment for diagnostics. We can manufacture a tooth while you wait, if need be. For doctors in remote communities, this provides great options. You need not have a dental lab down the street to get someone a workable functioning crown. The training available doesn't discriminate between urban and rural doctors, and we all take annual upgrading to best care for our patients. You will find General Practice Dentists offer a broader scope of dentistry than a decade or two ago. Science hasn't just created greater fuel economy for your car – it extends to dental health too. We measure bone, we offer alternatives for pain management, and in rare cases when the services of a specialist are required we have a roster of capable professionals available – even if it requires a 75 minute drive. I chose to live here for a lifestyle choice, and wouldn't trade it for anywhere. As an aside – when you mentioned that fly-in Vancouver dentist it crossed my mind that someone having to pay $1.2 million for a standard 3 bedroom bungalow may not have the same budget for advanced dental technology as our local dentists. Give us a chance. We'll surprise you!
