Spirit of adventure GLIDER PILOTS CAN SPEND THEIR LIVES TRAVELLING THE WORLD IN SEARCH OF THE RIGHT CONDITIONS TO LIFT THEM UP TO 8,000 FEET OFF THE GROUND BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

His skill has landed him a spot on Canada’s national gliding team since 2008 and he’s been to four world championships, in Texas, Germany, Hungary

“

The thinking is the biggest part of it. As a glider pilot, you are always looking at the weather, assessing the conditions, reading the clouds, trying to figure out where the best lift is going to be so you can take advantage of it. — Dave Springford Mechanical engineering instructor few years while getting his mechanical engineering degree at university.

raise the funds to make the trip. There’s more to becoming a worldclass gliding pilot than being good on the stick. “The flying is the smallest part of it. The thinking is the biggest part of it,” he says. “As a glider pilot, you are always looking at the weather, assessing the conditions, reading the clouds, trying to figure out where the best lift is going to be so you can take advantage of it.” In competition, whoever gets fastest around the course, hitting all the marks, wins. “So you need to optimize. You need to find the strongest lift and you need to take the straightest path. “You need to beat the other guy on your wits because you’re all flying in the same air. It’s a little bit like sailing, where one guy notices the gusts on the water and takes advantage of that and pulls a couple of hundred feet ahead of the other guy.” Further up the glider line, Jay Allardyce, 28, of Winnipeg, was making his final checks. He works in business development for an aerospace firm and has 16 years of gliding experience, having been introduced to the sport by his father. The lure of the sport is its intricacies, he says. “It’s a very technical sport so there’s a lot of elements to it. I’m an engineer by training, so I’m very analytical and I like science and math and that sort of thing. “Gliding combines all of that. It combines meteorology, aerodynamics, theory of flight, strategy — it’s just a whole bunch of different things coming together making it very dynamic.” He is also attracted by the sport’s spirit of adventure.

OLDS — Pilots lounge, chat, make last-minute checks … and wait. Eyes are cast skyward, as nearly 20 glider pilots patiently bide their time as the ground warms and an invisible column of air rises to provide ideal launch conditions for their longwinged, fragile-looking mounts. “We’re waiting for the trigger temperature,” explains Valerie Deschamps, a director in the Central Alberta Gliding Club, on Wednesday. The small Innisfail-based club was thrilled to be granted this year’s Canadian National Soaring Competition, using the facilities at Netook Gliding Centre, just north of Olds. When you choose to go aloft without a motor, lift is everything. And that is sustained by thermals, columns of warm air that rise, spread out and, at the hands of a talented pilot, can be ridden for hours. About 1 p.m., conditions were ripe and 19 pilots strapped themselves into their gliders or sailplanes and waited to be pulled into the sky by their four tow planes. The whole operation would take only a few minutes — just as planned. Time is of the essence when gliders have to circle lazily about waiting for other competitors to reach starting altitude — on this day around 2,000 feet above ground. As the last gliders got airborne, a typical Alberta storm marched in from the west, marking its progress with flashes of lightning and roiling black clouds. Competition organizers were unfazed. They are wily to the vagaries of weather and plotted two triangular competition courses to the east. Pilots were expected to be up for almost three hours. Of the 19 pilots, 17 were participating in the competition. They were split between two classes of glider, a club class and the higher-performance FAIs, named for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the sport’s international administrator. The club-class gliders went out to Three Hills, Stettler and back, and the FAIs went to Drumheller and Stettler before returning. Waterloo, Ont.’s Dave Springford, 51, made the 3,400-km journey to Olds towing his glider in a specially designed trailer. The mechanical engineering instructor at a community college has been gliding since he was 12, introduced to the sport by his military pilot father. “We spent out weekends at airports,” he says, listing off stops in Kingston, Ottawa, CFB Borden and even Germany. As a youngster, he took to gliding immediately. “It seems that people are

Census suggests city’s average age rising BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

Municipalities conduct a census to help determine future growth and development. As well, the province allocates certain grant funding based on population. Some census questions were not answered, resulting in gaps in the statistics. The city will conduct a basis census in 2016.

100K CONTEST

Red Deer is getting older as it continues to grow. Last week, the City of Red Deer announced that it had reached a population of 100,807, up 2,222 residents over 2014. The announcement was part of the preliminary 2015 municipal census results. Red Deer is the first of the mid-sized Alberta cities to surpass the 100,000 mark. Lethbridge, which is often compared to Red Deer, is the fourth largest city in Alberta. Its recently released 2015 census shows there are 94,804 residents in the southern city. And on Friday, the complete census findings were released. They show the areas of growth, more detail about the population and the demographics. The census shows the average age of people now living in Red Deer is 37, compared to 31 in 2014 and 32 in 2013. Males outnumber females in the city, for the third consecutive year. There are 48,566 males, up 600, compared to 48,520 females, up 870. The strongest area of growth for the third straight year was Timberlands with 529 new residents. Vanier Woods followed closely with 429 new residents. In all, there are 42,034 households in Red Deer. As part of this year’s census, residents were asked whether anyone in the household prefers to commu-

Red Deer’s 100,000th resident could be a winner. In order to commemorate the historic moment of Red Deer reaching the 100,000 mark in population, the city wants to find the person who made it happen. Several prizes and public recognition will be awarded to the selected resident. The contest is open to people who moved to Red Deer or were born in Red Deer between Nov. 1, 2014, and Jan. 31, 2015. All names will be entered into a draw. The winner will be randomly selected. To enter, drop off a submission at City Hall (4914 48th Ave.) or email 100Kcontest@reddeer.ca. The deadline to submit entries is on July 24 at 4:30 p.m. The person chosen will be required to provide proof of qualification prior to being announced as the winner.

RDC students thrilled with two-year tuition freeze BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF A student representative at Red Deer College is happy to see a two-year freeze on post-secondary tuition because it will make college more accessible. The new NDP government announced the freeze this week in Bill 3, which also reverses a 1.4 per cent cut to post-secondary institutions by the former provincial Conservative government, and increases base funding by two per cent. “We’re really, really excited about this (tuition freeze). We think that accessibility is something

GLIDING: Identifying the best spots to land the first lesson learned “You can go basically anywhere in the world and where there’s the right conditions, you can fly gliders.” Last year, he spent two weeks soaring above the mountains of France, just for the new experience. “Gliding is just an adventure and it’s a lifelong pursuit basically. You never get bored of it. Every flight is different.” As a case in point, in Wednesday’s races, eight gliders “grounded out,” landing on a suitable strip of land of choice. Several got back to the Innisfail airport and the furthest landing from home was near Acme, about 50 km southeast of Olds. “We want them to make it back, but every contest there’s somebody who has to land out,” says Deschamps. On the first day of the competition, eight gliders landed out as well. On the second day, there were three. Each pilot must have his glider trailer hooked up to his truck, keys in the ignition, so race organizers can drive out to

to part time.” McGrath said it’s a lot for a student to go from fulltime schooling to full-time working and then back to full-time schooling. It can be very difficult to go through post-secondary without ever having a break, and for those students who have to take out a student loan, it’s an added stress, she said. “It’s really difficult to enter a job market with a degree, like a bachelor of arts degree, and then all of sudden you’re sitting there with a bunch of debt and you’re not sure where you’re going to find employment.

recover them. Deschamps said gliders in this week’s competition typically flew between 4,000 and 8,000 feet above ground level. If you sink to 1,000 feet, it’s time to start looking for a makeshift landing spot. Identifying the best spots is one of the first lessons fledgling glider pilots learn, she says. It takes four days of competition to become official and it was touch and go all week, but they man-

aged to squeeze in a final race on Friday afternoon after a storm blew through. “We are very pleased we have been able to accomplish the competition in full,” says Deschamps. Pilots also gave the event glowing reviews, which is a feather in the cap for the Innisfail club and its volunteers. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

that’s needed in times of economic downturn as more people want to come back to school, upgrade their skill set and become more employable,” Maryanne McGrath, president of the Students’ Association of Red Deer College, said on Friday. When tuition becomes too expensive for a student to attend school, often they end up working while being in school. That means that their class load is going to be smaller, and it’s going to take them longer to get a degree, McGrath said. “I hear a lot about students who, because they can’t afford their tuition, have to work through their degree. That can extend their degree by two or three years because all of a sudden they go from full time

GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Ex-top bank governor to offer advice BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta government is bringing in a former Bank of Canada governor to help develop a plan for building roads, schools and hospitals. Premier Rachel Notley announced Friday that David Dodge will advise on the best level of infrastructure spending in the next four to five years. She said Dodge will look at not only how much to build, but the best time to build it, given Alberta’s slumping oil economy. And, if money has to be borrowed, he’ll suggest the best way to do it. “We need to get this right,” David Dodge said Notley, who sat beside Dodge and Infrastructure Minister Brian Mason at a news conference. Dodge will do reviews over the summer and is to file his suggestions by the fall in time for Mason to craft infrastructure and transportation spending plans for the budget. Alberta does not have a budget in place for the 2015-16 year, but Notley has said one will be delivered in October. Dodge said he believes governments should borrow to pay for roads, schools, hospitals and other buildings — but only under the right circumstances. “Borrowing for infrastructure development that will lead to greater economic development, where there is an identifiable return on that investment, is absolutely appropriate,” he said. Notley said Dodge’s advice and report will cost less than $100,000. Her government has a delicate balancing act to perform with infrastructure, given that the population is growing while the economy is faltering, she said. She noted that under former Progressive Conservative governments, infrastructure was either not built or not maintained so as to pay down the debt. But projects committed to by the Tories over the last three years, including dozens of new schools, have pushed the province back into debt that sits at about $18 billion. The NDP government won’t stop that construction for now, Notley said. “We’re not interested in running around willynilly undoing things that have been done before. “We know that the school issue in particular is way behind and that communities are waiting for them and relying on them. We have no intention of undoing those previous commitments.” Dodge was governor of the Bank of Canada from 2001 to 2008.

Former Parks Canada officials protest proposed developments BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAKE LOUISE — Former top Parks Canada officials have asked the federal government to put the brakes on proposed new development guidelines for a ski resort in one of Canada’s best-loved parks. “We’re asking for (federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq) to hit the pause button on this,” said Stephen Woodley, who was a Parks Canada chief ecosystem scientist. He is one of 11 former Parks Canada supervisors who have signed a letter expressing concerns about plans for the Lake Louise ski area in Banff National Park. The signatories include one-time park superintendents and planners as well as three retired national directors. A Parks Canada spokesman was not immediately available for comment. Earlier this month, Parks Canada released guidelines for development at Lake Louise, one of Canada’s largest ski resorts and a regular World Cup race venue. The document was crafted in consultation with ski-hill management and is intended to stand for the next 42 years. The guidelines would allow several warming huts to be built along with a large facility on the top of Mount Whitehorn. About 1,000 hectares from the resort’s leasehold would be exchanged for permission to put runs on 500 currently unused hectares.

Homicide victim found in shopping cart had troubled life EDMONTON — Friends say a woman whose body was found tied up in a shopping cart in an Edmonton alley had struggled with addiction. Police have ruled the death of Andrea Marie Berg a homicide. An autopsy shows the 42-year-old died of blunt force trauma. Witnesses who found her body Tuesday said her legs, arms and mouth had been taped and her face was bloody. Police have not released further details about the case. Bonnie McLellan, who grew up with Berg in Fort Saskatchewan, near Edmonton, says the woman led a troubled life but loved her family and had a grown son. “She was a very kind-hearted person ... She was always willing — trying to get back on her feet.”

“Certainly student debt is a huge concern for quite a few students.” She is pleased that for the next two years tuition costs will be stable. But McGrath also hopes that at the end of the two years there will be a predictable path laid out on how tuition will look beyond that. While RDC will lose revenue from increased tuition, at the same time the province is giving the college an increase in base funding and reversing the funding cut, she said.

McLellan said she found it difficult to keep in touch with her old friend and learned of her death through a relative. Berg’s friend Shannon Tyler was on of many who expressed condolences on Facebook. “My heart is so sad. Remembering the years, your giggle and your bright smile,” wrote Tyler. “Rest in love and peace Andrea ... A beautiful sweet soul has left us and will be missed.” Another friend, David Sheffield, had commended Berg on Facebook in May 2014 for fighting to get clean. “Lookin good today, my girl! 5 months in treatment ... I hope it works for you this time, Andrea, you’ve tried so hard to fight this disease in the past, that I’m just so glad you haven’t given up on yourself! Your a real fighter, thats what I like about you Andrea, my dear, dear, friend.” Berg had listed on her Facebook page that she worked at Hope Mission, a downtown social care agency. She hadn’t updated the page since last year. A spokeswoman with the shelter said that although Berg was not an employee, she was a “beloved member” of the Hope Mission community and served in many areas with the agency’s church. “What she loved most of all was to sing and she sang on our worship team,” said Rachael Chan. “She had a loving singing voice.” Chan said Berg was loved by many with the agency and they are all grieving her death.

Woodley said that swap simply means the resort would be letting go of land that isn’t developable anyway for wilderness that is. “It takes away areas that are now designated wilderness and turns them into ski runs. These are legislated, designated wilderness areas within Banff and it opens them up for development.” The overall effect, including new lifts and facilities, would increase the resort’s footprint by 30 per cent, Woodley said. Parks Canada officials have said that any actual construction would be preceded by an environmental assessment and public review. But Woodley said environmental protection in Banff, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, should come first. “You can’t run a national park and a world heritage site by saying, ’We’ll fit in whatever fits under an environmental assessment.’ “There’s a higher standard here.” The letter also says much of the science used to develop the guidelines is outdated. It also points out that bears are attracted to plants that grow on ski runs in the summer, so adding more runs could increase bear encounters in the park. The guidelines were developed by resort management and Parks Canada with no public input, Woodley said. The comment period ends Sunday. “It comes out of a closed process with a threeweek public response period. (It’s) a bit astonishing, really.”

Graham James victim wanted harsher sentence for coach SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Convicted sex offender Graham James pleaded guilty Friday to sexually assaulting a player who described the former junior hockey coach as his tormentor and his demon. Justice Tim Keene accepted a joint submission from the Crown and defence that called for two years to be added onto a five-year sentence James is almost finished serving on other charges. The 62-year-old appeared in a Saskatchewan courtroom via video link from a prison in Laval, Quebec, to enter his plea. The victim, who was 18 at the time and whose name is under a court-ordered publication ban, was a player for the Western Hockey League Swift Current Broncos. He said in his victim impact statement that he could no longer live with the “shame, humiliation and lies” and was able to come forward with the support of his wife. “I don’t have to worry about Graham James anymore,” said the man, who is now 43, as he choked back emotion outside the courthouse. “I can look forward and know that justice has been served,” he said, although he had hoped for a harsher sentence. “We’ve suffered for 20-plus years and ... he’s getting two years.” Prosecutor Glen Herman told the judge that James worked to build the victim’s trust and “groomed him” to take part in the abuse.

OTTAWA — Industry Minister James Moore announced Friday he won’t seek re-election in October, leaving the prime minister heading into the election campaign without one of his most loyal lieutenants. Moore, 39, cited the health of his young son Spencer as the reason for his leaving federal politics, but his departure was immediately pounced on by critics as more evidence the Conservatives are losing steam. Moore is the latest in a string of long-time Tory MPs bowing out of this campaign. He’s also among the longestserving Tories from British Columbia, a province considered very much in electoral flux. “Balancing family responsibilities while in public life is always a challenge,” he said in a statement. “This is particularly true when you have a child with special needs.” Moore married Courtney Payne, a former adviser in the prime minister’s office, in 2011 and they have a son, Spencer, who has a form of skeletal dysplasia that requires extensive care. The popular, fluently bilingual cabinet minister was first elected in 2000 and was among the earliest backers of Stephen Harper’s bid for leadership of the Canadian Alliance and later Conservative parties. Moore himself has long been rumoured to have leadership aspirations and even among Harper’s inner circle is consider a potential successor to the prime minister.

RCMP report on aboriginal women looks at family violence OTTAWA — Updated findings on murdered and missing aboriginal women released by the Mounties on Friday include data which indicate there is a strong connection between homicides and family violence.

The Harper government signed a deal a year ago to amend its contract with Sikorsky Aircraft — the U.S. manufacturer of the helicopter — after repeated delays and problems meeting the original specifications. As part of the renegotiation, the Royal Canadian Air Force revisited its list of expected capabilities, and was asked to spell out clearly what aspects were essential as opposed to what they would like to see in the aircraft. Finley told reporters the helicopters that had been accepted were capable of being used on missions on warships, but she added work remained to be done on the aircraft. “They’re in accordance with amendments to contracts that were made, but we’ll be continuing to work with Sikorsky on upgrades.”

original women are solved in 81 per cent of cases, similar to the 83 per cent solution rate for killings of non-aboriginal women. The force said its review reaffirms that prevention efforts need to address family violence. “The frequency of violence against aboriginal women is alarming,” said RCMP Supt. Tyler Bates. “It matters not where they are being killed within their homes, within their communities, we have an obligation to solve these outstanding occurrences.’ The update follows a report last year on missing and murdered aboriginal women which said there were 1,181 cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women between 1980 and 2012. The RCMP says 11 additional aboriginal women have gone missing since the 2014 report.

Standing Room Only Standing Room Only. It’s a situation you often bump into if you are, say, riding a subway in a large city, needing to use the men’s at the intermission at a Rebels hockey game, or trying to get a double double and a honey dip at Timmy’s. Or if you are trying to get tickets to an event like the Rockin’ in the Old Days reunion party, which involves a bunch of us long-time-ago bandmates getting together after quite a number of deHARLEY cades (four) HAY to play music of the day and pretend we are young again. Standing Room Only. That’s what the club, Fratters, is reporting. Apparently many of our peers want to party but not in the upright position. What I mean is, they don’t really care for the thought of buying a ticket and then having to stand for four hours whilst the bands SAM and Gaetz Ave. Dance Band do their thing, and everybody else is sitting comfortably at tables and booths and on floors. And I don’t blame them. Thing is, Standing Room Only is really just a way to get into the gig and then, as they say in France, “Bob’s your uncle!” You don’t really have to stand for all four sets of 1960s and ’70s music and mayhem. A party person can move around, dance, schmooze, sit down in the washroom, sit on other people’s laps. Besides, the night will ebb and flow and since many of the attendees are of the baby boomer generation, there will no doubt be occasional empty chairs at various times throughout the evening when people go out to their cars and motorhomes to have a nap so they can party until close to midnight. Some of my awesome-est memories involve Standing Room Only. The Best Hall of Them All, for instance: Varsity Hall at Sylvan Lake. Of course, we were a tad younger then, but for those of us lucky enough to spend a good part of our teens and 20s in the magical dark recesses of that wooden palace, standing was the mode of choice. It was often packed enough that you either had to stand or dance and, for guys, that was often pretty much the same thing. Varsity Hall had benches all around the outer walls and a waisthigh wooden fence and railing around

HAY’S DAZE

the hot zone — the dance floor. And if memory serves (and it usually serves me adult beverages) very few Varsity Hallers would ever be sitting along the wall benches for long. With the best bands in the land up on the stage and a floor full of prospective partners, it was nearly impossible to sit. And when the band inevitably broke into one of the most popular tunes of the day — Higher and Higher by Jackie Wilson — the Standing Room Only crowd would flood to the dance floor. It was also the song that for some reason begat the tradition of having the braver (and bigger) guys hoist their female dance partners onto their shoulders and “dance” like there was no tomorrow. Being an optimistic five feet tall at the time and being sometimes lucky enough to be on the stage playing the song instead of attempting to “dance” to it, I never did participate in having a female sit on my shoulders at Varsity Hall (or anywhere else), which no doubt would have had tragic consequences. But I can clearly remember a sea of girls perched on shoulders rockin’ and boppin’ around the crowded dance floor like some sort of celebration parade. Which it was really, and which is the kind of groovy vibe we hope we can create at the Rockin’ in the Old Days party next weekend. Although we only expect those under the age of 50 to put their partner on their shoulders when we play Higher and Higher. A much different place and time only a few years ago, I was in the U.S. of A. at a Holiday Inn across the street from the Staples Center coliseum in the City of Angels. Thing is, I’d never seen a professional basketball game, having, as I may have mentioned, grown up short I had not developed an abiding interest in a game where the recommended participant height is somewhere around eight feet (12 metres). But since nothing else seemed to be going on (a common problem in Los Angeles), and since the Lakers happened to be playing that very night, and since people like Beyonce and Jennifer Aniston often sit court side at Lakers games, I decided I’d better add a NBA game to my non-bucket list of things I never thought I’d do. Standing Room Only. That’s what the sign said when I sauntered over to get a ticket. Why not, I thought. What I didn’t realize was that Standing Room Only at Staples Center meant standing behind the seats at the very top of a massive structure that holds 18,000 people! It took me most of the first half to

Gaetz Ave. Dance Band: resurrecting the past with Rockin’ in the Old Days party.

climb up past Row 780 to the SRO section. And then it took me till the end of intermission to get my breath back enough to actually stand up. OK, so the players looked like ants — in fact, I’m still not sure if there actually was a basketball game going on somewhere down there — and if Beyonce or Jennifer happened to be there, they certainly weren’t within 10 km of Standing Room Only. Thing is, we Standers had a great time up there, watching an actual NBA game on giant TV screens, scarfing hot

dogs and beverages and feeling pretty lucky just being there. As for the Rockin’ in the Old Days, I know many of us will be running on memories and adrenalin, and we’ll be partying like it was 1969.

Cleaning up downtown Red Deer This five-foot-ten-inch middle aged man furtively shuffles along the streets totally ignoring everything and everybody that he passes. Once in a while he mutters to himself and inspects the contents of the shoulder bag (or lately a large hockey bag), he always carries. His grizzled appearance and occasional chuckle at nothing does little to reassure people that he is just another pedestrian downtown. As a matter of fact, he is not. Towards the end of the month, several females start CHRIS parading themselves on cerSALOMONS tain streets anticipating ‘friends’ to come in their pickup trucks to pick them up. All too often we are accosted by individuals begging for a toonie. Increasingly, small groups of young people (kids actually) start walking the streets periodically damaging items or writing graffiti on buildings. At different times of the day, these same people from the street move to other locations in order to access soup kitchens and or other services. The City of Red Deer, the Downtown Business Association and businesses would like nothing better than a very clean, friendly downtown area, devoid of the scenes depicted above, and many are the efforts to make it so. Kudos to the downtown association workers who every morning diligently patrol the streets emptying the garbage cans, picking up strewn liquor containers of all types including mouthwash bottles, food wrappers and garbage from the general population

who absentmindedly litter. My desires are no different. I also would like nothing better than to walk downtown without the prospect of meeting up with panhandlers, the handicapped or prostitutes; tipping my hat to all the smiling people who pass me by while Seventy-six Trombones plays softly in the background. Alas, this is not to be. This morning as I write this, the headlines in bold print tell me we have broken the 100,000 mark, population wise. The only problem is, all that tremendous growth includes the disenchanted few that constitute the street population. Red Deer is not unique in this type of population growth situation. In many cities across North America, similar sentiments have led to the concentration of the less desirable into smaller and smaller areas. Leave all the care agencies, shelters, food kitchens, etc., in one small area; thereby creating the utopic downtown desired, minus the street culture. Especially if you are hosting a major international event in the near future. In recent years, though, residents of some of these cities have moved to diversify that concentration and open up their neighbourhoods back to normal living. In Chicago, for instance, residents marched on their city hall to protest the city’s attempt to concentrate the unwanted segment into their neighbourhoods. The city, unwilling to change, forced these people to act on their own and retake these sections from the street and crime element. Of course, Red Deer is not that bad in any way shape or form. But by studying the efforts of other cities, we can learn a successful way of treating and dealing with the situations that are so inevitable whenever a city grows. Some folks in Red Deer have been proactive in the private/governmental low-income housing (even winning federal awards), and many other services

for these folks. Perhaps this is something we should build on as a city rather than to rail against the inevitable. Here I am becoming political! When Queen Elizabeth came to Canada, her lightning-fast tour took her motorcade through Red Deer. The tour never even stopped in our beautiful city, but in honour of her passing through (slowly but largely unseen), Red Deer spent hundreds of thousands of dollars repaving streets that otherwise would not have been redone. We even renamed Hwy 2 after her. She probably doesn’t remember nor was there any benefit to her driving through. Don’t get me wrong, I like and respect this grand lady; I just felt the spending was out of proportion to the value of her visit. We have many agencies in Red Deer that truly care about the people they serve; they make intense studies on the problems, the characteristics, and hopefully equitable solutions to the people who need it most. But the funding for these agencies who look after a portion of our population is minimal. No matter how well we clean a city, there will always be some dirt and garbage wind-whipped into corners and crevices. Eliminating all those corners and crevices will not stop the accumulation; it is only by persistent cleaning and care that we will be able to clean up. That’s where we as individuals come in; we all have a distinct role to play in this, not just empathetic groups. Then there is the city’s responsibility in dealing with the problems associated with the street culture; either ship them all to Edmonton or Calgary, as has been advocated, or we can take the time to learn the whys and wherefores of these folks and then learn an approach that works. But then, that would show that we care, wouldn’t it? Chris Salomons is kitchen co-ordinator for Potter’s Hands ministry in Red Deer.

Facing the questions of slower growth How does a country get used to slower growth and modest gains in incomes? And how do we share a pie that is growing much more slowly? These are tough questions but they are also the real questions that our political leaders may want to avoid but should have to confront as they head into the forthcoming federal election. In a grim analysis of growth in household income from 1984 to 2024, three of Ottawa’s most experienced economic experts warn that “Canadians DAVID have just entered a decade CRANE during which their real disposable income will tend to grow at a much slower pace than in the past.” The experts are David Dodge, former governor of the Bank of Canada, Michael Horgan, former deputy minister of Finance, and Richard Dion, a respected career economist in the federal government. Real disposable income is income after taxes and including transfers from government, such as child benefits and old age security, and adjusted for inflation. In their analysis, published by law firm Bennett Jones, real disposable income per capita grew at an average annual rate of 1.41 per cent in 1984-2007 and 1.32 per cent in 2008-14. But in their base case forecast, it is projected to grow at an average annual growth rate of just 0.9 per cent in 2015-24.

INSIGHT

An aging population is a key factor depressing growth in real disposable income per capita, the three authors say, arguing this will “severely constrain further progress in the living standard of the average Canadian household.” With the purchasing power, and the saving power, of Canadians set to grow much more slowly than in past years, “issues with respect to income distribution among households are likely to become more acute.” It’s harder to slice and share a pie that is growing more slowly. This will also constrain the resources available to government to meet public needs and the profits for corporations to re-invest. Demographics are central for two reasons: One is that there will be slower growth in the working age population and the other is a lower participation rate because a larger share of the work force will be 55 and over, and this cohort has a lower rate of participation in the workforce. Total hours worked in the economy, which grew at an annual average of 1.6 per cent in 1984-2007 and 0.87 per cent in 2008-14 will slow to 0.5 per cent a year on average in 2015-2024. Growth in hours worked is one big driver of economic growth and gains in income. The other is productivity. In 1984-2007, productivity growth averaged 1.35 per cent a year, falling to just one per cent a year in 2008-14. But in their base case for 2015-24, Dodge and his colleagues are counting on average annual productivity growth of 1.4 per cent, meaning that productivity gains will become much more important in boosting national income. In fact, productivity is “the

only factor that could materially support real income growth going forward,” the three economists say. Our current predicament is also portrayed in the Bank of Canada’s April Monetary Policy Report, which again downgraded Canada’s potential growth rate. The potential growth rate is the rate at which an economy can grow without a rising rate of inflation — you might call it the economy’s speed limit. That speed limit has been lowered significantly since the start of the decade. The Bank of Canada estimated it at about four per cent growth in 1999, declining to about 2.6 per cent in 2007. Potential output this year, the bank says, is expected to slow to 1.8 per cent, from 2.1 per cent last year, and remain at the 1.8 per cent rate through 2016 and 2017. Population aging is one reason our economy has less potential. But lack of investment in new productive capacity, failure to keep up investment in infrastructure, lack of innovation, and failure to address the education and skills potential of the bottom 40 per cent of the population are others. Making it easier for older Canadians to stay longer in the workforce will be one answer. But dealing with education and skills, innovation, investment and infrastructure — all of which contribute to higher productivity — will be the other. An ideal election campaign would be one where we could seriously address the fundamental challenge of a more productive and fairer society — how we achieve greater growth and improved equity. But this seems unlikely. Economist David Crane is a syndicated Toronto Star columnist. He can be reached at crane@interlog.com.

Omar al-Bashir and international law Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir, facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for genocide and war crimes, fled from an African Union summit meeting on Monday before the conference ended. The South African High Court was going to order him arrested and handed over to the ICC, but the South African government let him fly out of a military airport near Pretoria. There is outrage in South Africa at this breach of the law, but there is also a belief in the rest of the continent (especially among national leaders) that the ICC is prejudiced against African countries. Is the ICC out of control or is it just trying to do its job? GWYNNE President Jacob Zuma’s DYER government had a serious public relations problem. In the past month, South Africa has seen a great deal of xenophobic violence against illegal immigrants and their property. It’s embarrassing for Zuma, and clearly contrary to the spirit of African solidarity, so he felt that he couldn’t let an African head of state be arrested while attending an AU summit in his country. The resentment of poor South Africans at the presence of so many illegal immigrants from other African countries (probably between five and 10 per cent of the population) is understandable but inexcusable. The right solution is for South Africa to take control of its borders, but meanwhile Zuma has to placate his African Union partners. Zuma had to sneak Bashir out of the country because South Africa’s High Court is still independent, and it was about to rule that Bashir must be handed

INSIGHT

over to the ICC for trial. Indeed, Judge Dunstan Mlambo did rule exactly that — “The government’s failure to arrest Bashir is inconsistent with the Constitution” — only hours after Bashir fled. Well, obviously. Since South Africa is one of the 123 countries that signed up to the ICC, it is legally obliged to enforce its arrest warrants. Some other African countries also take the ICC seriously. In 2012 an AU summit was moved from Malawi after the government refused to let Bashir attend, and in 2013 the Sudanese president had to leave Nigeria earlier than planned after a rights group went to court to compel the authorities to arrest him. But most African governments now ignore ICC rulings because, they claim, the court only targets African criminals — and it’s true that all the arrest warrants now in force are for Africans. This understandably causes deep suspicions in the African continent. Under the same international laws, shouldn’t former U.S. president George W. Bush be indicted as a war criminal for illegally invading a sovereign country, Iraq? No, actually, because the ICC can only arrest the citizens of countries that have signed up to the ICC, and the United States hasn’t. (Neither has Sudan, but there is an exception for war criminals who are specifically designated by the United Nations Security Council, as Bashir was.) The wounds of colonialism are still raw and it just feels wrong. But which of these people would you want to drop from the list? Joseph Kony, the self-proclaimed prophet whose Lord’s Resistance Army murdered tens of thousands of innocent people in northern Uganda and adjacent countries? Jean-Pierre Bemba, a former Congolese rebel leader who is on trial for crimes against humanity

and war crimes over alleged cases of murder, rape and pillage in the Central African Republic in 2002 and 2003? Or Ivory Coast’s former President Laurent Gbagbo, who faces four charges of crimes against humanity — murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution and “other inhuman acts” — in the violence that followed disputed elections in 2010? None of these men are being lynched. They have just been summoned to face a trial, with all the legal rights they are accused of denying to others. And in most cases, the prosecution have been undertaken with the support of the relevant African country. African countries dominate the list for two reasons. One is that more than half the world’s wars are in Africa. The other is that African countries, so vulnerable to violence, have a strong interest in establishing the rule of law, and most African lawyers and senior civil servants understand that. They are often thwarted by their presidents and prime ministers, who belong to a very exclusive club. African leaders are as prone as any other interest group to try to exempt themselves from rules that hold them legally responsible for their actions. The ICC has also made mistakes, like bringing cases against senior politicians when there was no realistic chance of getting the evidence needed for a conviction (like President Uhuru Kenyatta in Kenya). But even if it fails much of the time, the ICC is a worthwhile enterprise. It is part of a long-term effort to build a world that is ruled by law, not by force, even if that goal is still a century in the future — and in the meantime, it occasionally gives the victims justice right here in the present.

Home-schooling on the rise in Canada HOME-SCHOOLING GREW BY 29 PER CENT WHILE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL ENROLMENT FELL BY 2.5 PER CENT BY DEANI VAN PELT SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE As students across Canada wrap up another school year, we know that some of them won’t be back in the fall. They may be barred from schools because of striking teachers. Or they may be home — in school. With an average growth rate of more than five per cent per year, home-schooling in Canada is on the rise. For example, from 2006 to 2012, home-schooling grew by 29 per cent while government school enrolment fell by 2.5 per cent. In a recent Fraser Institute study, during that same six-year period we found that nine of 10 provinces showed increases in official home-school enrollments. And even in British Columbia, which showed declines, distributed learning enrolments — a substitute for home-schooling in some households — grew by an average of 14 per cent annually. It’s worth asking, first of all, why families are increasingly choosing this option. A few decades ago, the main drivers were ideology and religion — meaning that families wanted their education to better reflect their beliefs. Not so much anymore. A recent review of the research found that families are choosing home-schooling for practical reasons. It just fits the way some families live and raise their children nowadays. For example, some have more intensive extracurricular involvement in athletics or music. Some travel frequently or live remotely. Others have more home-based lives, with more living and working in the home. Still others want the unique learning and behavioural needs of their child met in more attentive ways. And not only is home-schooling practical for some Canadians, it’s now, more than ever, possible. According to the research, thanks to technology and the maturation of home-schooling as a legitimate educational alternative, home-schooling resources, curriculum, support groups and learning co-operatives are increasingly available. Questions, however, remain. How do home-schooled students fare, compared to their counterparts in public school? International studies continue to show that homeschooled students score, on average, higher on standardized tests than their public-school counterparts. Moreover, a recent study found that home-schooled students taking university-level calculus were better prepared and achieved higher final grades than their peers in the same course. More evidence. A recent Canadian study found that home-schooled students were more likely than their peers from other education sectors to complete a doctorate or a professional degree. Even special needs students with learning disabilities were found, in several U.S. studies, to have higher levels of academic engagement and achievement than similarly affected students in public schools. But of course, not all home-schooling is the same. In fact, researchers frequently claim this is one of the reasons it’s hard to analyze. Recent Canadian

research notes that certain types of home-schooling are associated with higher academics outcomes. More structured approaches, and parents with an eye on academic achievement goals, appear related to higher test scores. Are our provincial governments paying attention? By some measures, yes. At least five provinces recently updated regulations and policies related to home-schooling (the three western-most provinces, Quebec and Prince Edward Island) while other provinces, such as Ontario, continue to provide plenty of flexibility for home-schooling. Three provinces — B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan — offer some funding for parents or third-party providers to mitigate the costs associated with home-schooling. The highest amount offered to parents anywhere in Canada is $1,000 per student annually in one school district in Saskatchewan. And in terms of accountability to local or provincial education authorities, the provinces expecting the most reporting from parents are

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec. But back to who benefits. It’s not just the students and their families. Taxpayers benefit, too. By the most conservative calculations, home-schooling families saved Canadians more than a quarter billion dollars in 2011-12 alone. So if returning to school in September isn’t part of every student’s plan, we shouldn’t fret. In fact, parents, policymakers and other educational professionals seeking innovations in effective and efficient approaches to education may only have to look out the window to the neighbours next door. This September, in particular, with teacher strikes looming, more Canadians may be looking for reliable educational alternatives.

nomenon had sprung up in the American Midwest, I set out to find a fairy. Peaceable Kingdom — an art and gift store — has fairy maps, a fairy door and tiny windows peering into a fairy-size replica of the store. I peered through the teeny windows nestled under the store’s street-front display, no easy feat on arthritic knees. A Jack Russell terrier ambled over to sniff my hand, happy to have someone at canine eye level, but the fairies were out. With fairy-door map in hand, I set out on the trail of the littlest residents of Ann Arbor — sometimes called A2.

URBAN FAIRIES: Build your own garden It appeared fairies hung out in some unlikely places. Google’s AdWord headquarters has a fairy door, as does the University of Michigan’s MOTT Children’s Hospital. The university is one of the world’s foremost research schools but it’s not above a bit of whimsy with its own fairy door. At the Kelsey Museum of Archeology, there are no fairy doors but the Egyptian coffin of Djehutymose has its own Facebook page. Somehow separated from its mummy, social media is helping Djehutymose. “Other mummies have liked its Facebook page and there is some discussion on the page about finding the missing mummy,” laughed Terry Wilfong, professor of Egyptology. I wondered if the fairies could help. At the university’s Nichols Arboretum, over 300 species of peonies waved in the early morning breeze, the fragrance reminding me of Saskatchewan summers. Tucked in the woods overlooking the carpet of peonies, a sign read Fairy Woods and Troll Hollow. “It’s for kids,” explained Intern Joel Klann, “they like to make miniature fairy houses out of sticks.” My next destination was Matthaei Botanical gardens. I skidded to a stop at a large display inside the front door. A sign extolling people to “Build your own fairy garden” was surrounded by tiny chairs, birdhouses, and even miniature wine bottles for the fairy with a preference for Chardonnay. “Have there been any sightings?” I asked Allison Correll, visitor services and events supervisor. She just laughed but I wondered about this Michigan preoccupation with fairies. If they were real, why settle here? It could be the food. With over 200 restaurants, 65 per cent with fairy-friendly outdoor seating, Fodor’s Travel called A2 one of “America’s Best College Towns for Foodies.” Maybe it’s because Ann Arbor decriminalized marijuana in the 1970s, or perhaps that just accounts for the number of people who think they’ve seen a fairy! Thinking a bigger lens might help spot fairies, I headed to the Detroit Observatory, the second oldest building on the University of Michigan campus. Nearby Great Lakes create dreadful astronomy conditions, but in the mid 19th century it was necessary to have a planetarium if one wanted a research school so one was built. Even a fairy might find that logic confusing. As my tour group watched program co-ordinator Karen Wight point the telescope towards the sky, explaining how early astronomers sighted stars, the doors to the room slammed shut — apparently on

Ceremonies mark bicentennial of Battle of Waterloo BRUSSELS — Royalty, dignitaries and soldiers around the world on Thursday commemorated the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, a watershed in European history that marked the end of the continent’s domination by France and its emperor Napoleon and the beginning of the British century. Belgium’s King Philippe led a ceremony for hundreds of guests and thousands of re-enactors gathered under the Lion’s Mount monument at the Waterloo battle site exactly 200 years after more than 10,000 soldiers died in a half-day battle between French troops and an international coalition led by Britain’s Duke of

Binge on all things wings BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OSHKOSH, Wis. — You don’t have to be nuts about planes to make it worth your time to swing by Wisconsin this summer and check out the annual mega air show that is much more than an air show. EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the world’s largest aviation fly-in and annual convention, runs from July 2026. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of people converge on Oshkosh, population 66,000, for a weeklong celebration of all things aviation that attracts everyone from hard-core flight enthusiasts to people just curious about things with wings. Count my family in the latter category. Surrounded by more than 2,600 show planes of all types — ultralights, homebuilts, vintage planes, warbirds, aerobatic craft, hot air balloons, etc. — and with daily air shows, concerts, movies, forums and more, my husband, children and I quickly caught the fervour during a two-day visit. We helped build a plane. OK, we each pulled one rivet as part of the “One Week Wonder” project. But by the end of the week, there was a small plane flying around with our rivets in the left wing, which we’d autographed with a black Sharpie. An AirVenture volunteer took photos of each riveter, and quickly emailed the pictures to participants — free of charge. Hear that, Disney? This year, volunteers will be able to help build aircraft wings that will be shipped to Experimental Aircraft Association chapters around the country, where planes will be assembled. On a visit to “Warbird Alley,” we clambered through one of the last B17s built for World War II. Nearby, a living history encampment featured vintage tents, equipment and vehicles. Eager to get up in the air, my kids took a spin over the convention grounds in a vintage Bell 47G helicopter ($49 each). In the KidVenture hangar, kids can try flight simulators, and volunteers lead young people through hands-on lessons in assembling engines, building wings and more. Even my teenager got into it. A shuttle bus takes people the 6 miles to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Seaplane Base on Lake Winnebago, where nearly 100 seaplanes gathered last year. For hours every afternoon, there is an air show that by itself would be worth a visit. There are also two nighttime air shows during the week, with fireworks. In 2014, the Air Force Thunderbirds were the biggest attraction. This year, the big draws will include

This year it takes place July 20-26. the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II, the first time the latter fighter jet has been at a civilian airshow. Also on the schedule: nightly outdoor concerts and aviation-themed movies. This year’s entertainment includes concerts by Dierks Bentley (an avid pilot) on opening night, and by Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band as the finale to the July 24 salute to veterans. Both concerts are free with admission to the airshow. What to do during afternoon popup thunderstorms? No problem. We took refuge under the tail of an imposing C-17 cargo plane parked in the middle of everything. This year, there will be a B-52 bomber on display all week. Or you can check out the hangars filled with exhibitors catering to an aviator’s every need. There’s also an EAA Museum. For true aviators, there are all sorts of guest speakers and forums on topics like “rigging your own Cessna,” ”alufish just offshore. In some ways, the peninsula is just as frozen in time as other aspects of life in Cuba, where 50-year-old cars are common and Wi-Fi is scarce. But the lack of change here has had a positive effect, sparing Cuba’s reefs from the degradation evident in coral beds elsewhere. Lack of agricultural run-off, little coastal development and strong environmental laws have all helped keep Cuba’s reefs healthy. That said, several factors stand in the way of Guanahacabibes becoming a major tourist attraction any time soon. For one thing, while President Barack Obama has relaxed limits on travel to Cuba, trips from the U.S. to Cuba for pure tourism remain prohibited by U.S. law. The Obama administration has said that it believes more U.S. visits to Cuba will accelerate reform on the island. But Obama’s critics say that U.S. visits simply feed cash into coffers of government agencies like the military-run tour company that oversees diving in Maria La Gorda. the resort inside the Guanahacabibes reserve.

Cuba’s coral reefs are remote but pristine MARIA LA GORDA, Cuba — The coral reefs and gin-clear waters off the coast of Cuba offer some of the best diving in the Caribbean and some of the best-preserved reefs on earth. And if travel restrictions on U.S. tourism to Cuba are ever lifted, the remote Peninsula of Guanahacabibes could well become a popular destination for American divers.

So was the news that a small plane flying in to last year’s convention had crash-landed, killing the pilot. How does little Oshkosh — perhaps best known as headquarters for the OshKosh B’Gosh clothing company — accommodate the half-million-or-so visitors who make the annual pilgrimage to AirVenture? Thousands fly in and set up housekeeping in tents parked next to their planes. Wittman Regional Airport, adjacent to the EAA grounds, becomes the world’s busiest airport for the week, with an estimated 20,000 takeoffs and landings. The fly-in campers turn the convention scene into a kind of instant village. This is a gathering with morning aerobics, church services, a variety of outdoor restaurants, even a daily newspaper.

Spieth, Reed chase title BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — Unbeaten as Ryder Cup teammates, Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth now chase a U.S. Open title this weekend at Chambers Bay. Spieth overcame a double bogey on an 18th hole that he called “the dumbest he has ever played” for a 3-under 67. Reed made only two pars over his final 12 holes, a wild ride that resembled putts on these heavily sloped greens, and had to settle for a 69. They were tied for the lead on a day that included Jason Day collapsing to the ground because of vertigo, Tiger Woods posting the highest 36-hole score of his pro career and Rory McIlroy making everything from eagle to double bogey on a course that gave him nothing more than two more days to figure it out. Dustin Johnson was in the mix for the longest time until making three bogeys over his last five holes for a 71. Johnson was one shot behind, along with Branden Grace of South Africa, who matched Spieth with a 67. Sixteen players remained under par. Spieth is the only one with experience winning a major. And it’s clear he’s not just satisfied with one. The 21-year-old Texan surged into the lead with birdies, calmed himself after a double bogey at the turn, and then tended to Day on the par-3 ninth hole when the Australian crashed to the ground in a frightening moment. Day later was diagnosed with vertigo. Helped to his feet, he managed to finish the hole and shot 70 to wind up three shots behind. He was hopeful of playing Saturday. Spieth also gathered himself and closed with a birdie to be the first one to reach 5-under 135. Not since Woods in 2002 has anyone won the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. Spieth still has a long way to go, and he realizes it will only get harder on a course that already is perplexing. Reed has heard about the adage that par is always a good score at the U.S. Open. He opted for three birdies, an eagle and five bogeys over the final three hours, at times going from the lead to trailing but always in the mix. Reed and Spieth were rookie teammates at Gleneagles last September, going 2-0-1 in their partnership, a rare bright spot in another American loss.

Jordan Spieth hits out of a bunker on the 18th hole during the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Chambers Bay on Friday in University Place, Wash. That’s history. Now they’re chasing it individually, with loads of company. Tony Finau, the powerful PGA Tour rookie making his major championship debut, let it rip on his way to a 68. He was in the group at 3-under 137 that included Joost Luiten of The Netherlands (69), Daniel Summerhays (67) and Ben Martin (70). Woods, again, was never in the picture — not the tournament, not on television. Fox rarely showed him, except for a few shots, including the opening hole when Woods was so far left up a dune that he slipped and fell while try-

ing to size up the shot. He had a 76 and missed the cut for the second time in the last three majors. His 36-hole total was 156, one worse than the 155 he had at the Phoenix Open. He has one more tournament, The Greenbrier Classic in two weeks, before going to St. Andrews for the British Open. “Obviously, I need to get a little better for the British Open, and I’ll keep working at it,” Woods said. Spieth can lean on his experience as a Masters champion, but this major is nothing like Augusta National. For

starters, he had a five-shot lead going into the weekend at the Masters. And he is on a golf course where the greens are getting plenty of attention for being bumpy and difficult to make putts. “It’s playing different,” Spieth said. “And I’m in a very different position. I’m not going to have a five-shot lead. So given it’s a U.S. Open, I imagine they’re going to try to bring us back to par. ... So I’ll draw some on Augusta, but at the same time, my patience level has to be even that much higher.”

Woody’s triathlon surpasses 500 registrant mark BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF All sports want to see growth amongst the youth, but triathlon in the area appears to be doing a remarkably effective job at this. The Woody’s RV World Triathlon goes for the 15th time on Sunday at the Michener curling rink and they have broke through the 500 registrant mark for kids for the first time. The most important part is where they are seeing those numbers, in the 5-9 age group. “To continue growing the sport it starts with the kids, to be able to put on a sport for the kids and help them

grow and learn about the sport, that’s primarily the reason why we do this race,” said race director Shaun Richer. “If they can get involved and enjoy it and hooked on the sport now, they can enjoy this sport for many years to come as adults.” For the first time this will also be strictly a young people’s event. Due to construction the adults race was scrapped for the year with the hope of bringing it back in 2016. There was just no safe way to re-jig the course. The triathlon will run with six age levels, five in the Kids of Steel category (5-15), all incorporating different lengths of course. For ages 5-7 they will swim 50 metres, bike 1.5 kilometres and run 500

metres. Kids 8-9 will swim 100 metres, bike five kilometres and run one kilometre. Those 10-11 will swim 150 metres, bike five kilometres and run for two. Tweens 12-13 are swimming 300 metres, biking 10 kilometres and running three. Teens 14-15 will swim 500 metres, bike for 10 kilometres and run four kilometres. The junior age division (16-19) will swim 750 metres, bike for 20 kilometres and run for five kilometres. The junior race will be the first to start at 7 a.m. with top participants set to come in roughly an hour-and-aquarter. The rest of the age groups will have a staggered start after the junior race finishes about 9 a.m. Organizers predict the day will be wrapped up by

2 p.m. However, Richer says the triathlon is set up to be more than just about the race, with a pancake breakfast, bouncy castles for the kids, massage therapists on site, face painting and other attractions set up in the Michener finish line area. “It’s almost like a mini fair for the kids,” said Richer. “What we want to create is not just a race, we wanted to create an event, a whole day event. Even though you can come here and do your race in an hour or so, we are really trying to encourage the families to stay here before and after and enjoy all the different activities.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Members of FIFA committees should have to pass integrity checks: Blatter LONDON — Sepp Blatter believes FIFA’s top officials should be required to pass integrity checks as the governing body remains mired in scandal. The measure was first recommended three years ago by FIFA’s anti-corruption advisers but was rebuffed by the executive committee. Blatter, however, floated the idea again Friday in his column in the weekly in-house magazine as soccer’s governing body again looks for reforms following a U.S.-led corruption investigation. But the 79-year-old Swiss did not address a recent report he could perform a U-turn and stand in the fresh presidential elections. Four days after being elected for a fifth, fouryear presidential term, Blatter abruptly an-

nounced plans on June 2 to stand down amid escalating criminal investigations into FIFA officials. FIFA said he stands by that statement. An executive committee meeting on July 20 will set the election date, and Blatter said “decisions on extensive changes to the FIFA structure” will also be taken in Zurich. Blatter said he will back introducing “independent integrity checks for all members of the most important FIFA committees.” Confederations are already meant to screen officials, but a new system would likely see FIFA’s ethics chairmen assessing them more rigorously. Blatter said he was endorsing a proposal by executive committee member Wolfgang Niersbach, the German Football Association president. Niersbach’s suggestion was used by Blatter as a chance to take another swipe at UEFA, whose president, Michel Platini, led opposition to Blatter’s re-election last month and is the favourite to succeed him. Highlighting how Asia was the only regional body with an independent ethics body like FIFA, Blatter said

STORY FROM PAGE B4

GOLF: Real test awaits His patience was tested, especially on the 18th. The tees were moved forward, making it play 514 yards. Some players who had been at Chambers Bay for the U.S. Amateur were concerned about the USGA using a forward tee and changing it to a par 4 in the middle of the U.S. Open because of an awkward landing area. Spieth tried to go left and found a bunker. Then he tried to take enough club to get past the 10-foot deep bunker that was added only recently, caught the top of the lip and stayed in the rough. “This is the dumbest hole I’ve ever played in my life,” he said before hitting a 4-iron toward the green. That found a bunker and he made double bogey. And then he pulled his tee shot to the left on the par-5 first hole (which was a par 4 on Thursday). His caddie, Michael Greller, helped calm him down. “I was really frustrated walking off the tee box, and Michael did a great job coming in and telling me, ’Sit back, you’re still very much in this tournament, don’t let this get to you,”’ Spieth said. He made birdie to steady himself and finished with a birdie. But the real test awaits. “At Augusta, I was finding fairways, hitting it on the green and I was making everything,” he said. “That would be nice here if I could do that, but it’s a harder golf course than the Masters played this year.”

Drew Tate throws fourth quarter TD as Stamps down Roughriders

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA — Drew Tate threw a fourth quarter touchdown as the Calgary Stampeders beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 37-29 Friday night in pre-season action. Tate relieved starter Bo Levi Mitchell to start the second half and found Kamar Jordan with 5:39 remaining in the fourth to give the defending Grey Cup champions a one-point lead. Tate then marched the Stampeders down the field with backup quarterback Bryant Moniz plunging in from one-yard out with 36 seconds remaining for a touchdown. Darian Durant proved his health in front of a home crowd for the first time since seasonending elbow injury in last September.

Lions fall 18-13 to Eskimos in pre-season finale VANCOUVER — Travis Lulay was solid in his first live action in more than nine months on Friday as the B.C. Lions dropped an 18-13 decision to the Edmonton Eskimos in CFL exhibition play. Coming off two seasons marred by injuries to his throwing shoulder, Lulay hooked up with Manny Arceneaux for a 22-yard touchdown pass on the game’s first series and finished 8-of13 for 121 yards in two quarters of work before taking a seat at halftime. Lulay was 3-for-3 on the scoring drive and linked up with Austin Collie on two long passes later in the half, but also missed a few makeable throws, including one over the middle to a wide-open Brian Burnham.

That means a few more kicks in the practice net as his team nears the goal-line. “Once we’re in field-goal range, which is past the 50, I started kicking,” Paredes said. “Not too many, but I get in my rhythm. “Usually I stop once the offence is inside the 20 or the 25 not because it’s an easy field goal, but I’m more comfortable and don’t have to kick as many balls as when I’m kicking a 45-yarder.” “(Now) if we’re inside the 20, I might take a few more kicks.” Where the new converts may help kickers is in providing dress rehearsals for important field goals, including that possible 45-yard boot for the win.

other confederations “are lacking,” and must “acknowledge their responsibility in matters of ethics.” “Niersbach has broached a subject that has so far been blocked by UEFA, of all associations. Better late than never,” Blatter said. “The message he has thereby sent out must apply to everyone: Only together can we continue to drive the process of reform forward. That is something I will stand for until my final day in office.”

The stakes are suddenly much higher for Canada at the Women’s World Cup. So are the distractions. Coach John Herdman’s message ahead of Canada’s round-of-16 match with No. 19 Switzerland at B.C. Place Stadium on Sunday is essentially keep your eye on the prize. “We know we’re never going to get this opportunity back again so we have to make sure that coming into B.C. we focus on task, which is to beat the Swiss,” Herdman said. “Coming here there’s added distractions because it is people’s home town. More people are asking questions about tickets, people want access to the players — family and friends. But it’s making sure that we’re really on task and diligent with our planning and processes going into the game.” The players get four tickets per game. “The ones that truly support you, those are the ones not expecting the free ticket. They just want to be part of my journey,” veteran goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc, a native of nearby Maple Ridge, said prior to the tournament. Vancouver is the Canadian team’s home away from home. During their time in residency ahead of the tournament, they lived together in a downtown condo. This time they are staying at a FIFA hotel. Home support is part of Herdman’s master plan for success for the eighth-ranked Canadians. He had his players actively campaign for fans to show their colours at Canadian games. But that attention comes at a cost. Herdman, who also calls Vancouver home, did his homework ahead of the tournament. German officials told him of the overwhelming pressure the home side was under at the 2011 World Cup. So he did his best to put his team under stress ahead of the competition by bringing top teams to Canada to expose his entire roster to big crowds so they could be “comfortable feeling uncomfortable in that spotlight.” Herdman, known for his work ethic and meticulous approach to detail, says his campaign blueprint is detailed but flexible. That was shown prior to the second tournament game against New Zealand when the coach said his players were allowing too much “into their world, their mind.” The Canadian braintrust put in “some new strategies” to reduce mental clutter and distractions— from visitors to Twitter.

CALGARY — Converting touchdowns was once routine for CFL kickers. They’re no longer so easy. Among the rule changes the CFL introduced for 2015 is moving convert attempts from the 12-yard line back to 32. What was once an automatic chip shot now requires field-goal concentration and preparation. “If a kicker goes three-for-three on regular field goals in a game, that’s a pretty good game,” Stampeder special teams coach Mark Kilam says. “Now if he’s going for three-for-three plus three converts, that’s a six-for-six game. “That’s a huge game for a kicker.” According to the CFL, 99.4 per cent of convert attempts were successful from 12 yards out in 2014. Field-goal attempts from between 31 and 33 yards away were 81 per cent successful. There was a missed convert in each of the CFL’s first two pre-season games. “It just puts in another element and makes it more exciting because no one really watches the point after,” said Winnipeg Blue Bombers kicker Lirim Hajrullahu. “To be honest, I never really practised a point after until this year.” It’s well within the ability of a seasoned kicker to put the football through the uprights from 32 yards. “A 32-yard field goal doesn’t really sound like a big deal and it’s not a real long kick,” said Swayze Waters of the Toronto Argonauts, the CFL’s top special-teams player last year. “But when you’re used to a short extra point, just visually it’s just taken a little while to get used to. “Coach (Scott Milanovich) has done a good job of putting us in a lot of situations during training camp just randomly calling touchdown extra point, so we’ll go out there and get a kick in with the whole team surrounding me . . . kind of adding pressure to the extra point.” Another rule change this season will impact how often converts are actually tried. If a team attempts a two-point convert, the ball will now be scrimmaged from the three-yard line instead of the five to encourage coaches to go for what is considered a more exciting play. Seven out of 23 two-point attempts were successful last season, according to the CFL. Faced with the choice of kicking a 32-yard convert into a headwind for one point or running the ball in for two, it will likely be the latter option. In their first pre-season game against the B.C. Lions, the Stampeders scored the only touchdown of the game. Head coach John Hufnagel went for the two-point convert, so no converts were kicked the entire game. Calgary kicker Rene Paredes still has to be ready for whatever Hufnagel decides in the seconds after a touchdown. “It’s getting prepared and knowing when Huf is going to go for one or two,” Paredes says. “Whatever decision Huf goes with, you’ve got to be ready for it.”

Fan with ball from A-Rod’s 3,000th hit holding onto souvenir for now NEW YORK — The fan at Yankee Stadium who wound up with the ball that Alex Rodriguez launched for his 3,000th hit is holding on to the prize souvenir. For now, anyway. “Told the Yankees I’m keeping it,” Zack Hample tweeted during the game Friday night. The 37-year-old Hample describes himself as a pro at catching home run balls, is credited with collecting more than 8,000 of them and has written books about the art. Hample was sitting in the right-field seats and got the ball Rodriguez hit for a solo home run in the first inning against Detroit. A day earlier, Hample tweeted “that man deserves favours from no one, least of all a fan.” Rodriguez mentioned the fan who caught Derek Jeter’s home run ball for his 3,000th hit in 2011. That man was all too eager to return it to the former Yankees star. “Where’s Jeet’s guy? That’s the guy I needed,” Rodriguez said. “I wasn’t so lucky.” After catching the ball, Hample told reporters he had envisioned catching it as “a one-in-a-million” possibility. “I don’t know right now if I’m going to sell it,” he said. “Depending on what the Yankees could offer, I would consider giving it back.” “I don’t plan to give it back for a chance to meet him and four autographed bats, because I don’t collect bats. I collect baseballs. Just having this ball is so meaningful to me, and I can’t believe that I got it,” he said. Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo said efforts to have the man deal directly with Yankees president Randy Levine didn’t work. “As far as we’re concerned, we have done everything we could to engage this guy in some type of discussion about some type of exchange. He had none of anything we were saying. He wouldn’t engage at all,” Zillo said. “He is not intending to give it to us.” “This guy is pretty well-documented. A professional home run catcher,” Zillo said.

Minor league baseball team in Utah cancels Caucasian Heritage Night SALT LAKE CITY — A minor league baseball team in Utah has cancelled a promotion called “Caucasian Heritage Night.” The Orem Owlz, a minor league affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, had the promotion scheduled for Aug. 10. The team said in a statement Friday that the promotion was planned as a joke with wonder bread on burgers with mayonnaise, clips of Friends and Seinfeld and an attempt to “solve the vertical leaping challenge.” “We understand, in light of recent tragic events, that our intentions have been misconstrued. For that, we sincerely apologize,” the statement said. The statement didn’t elaborate on what led to the cancellation, though there was heavy criticism online and on social media in the hours leading up to the announcement. Team spokeswoman Kristen Mortensen declined to comment Friday, referring questions to the statement. The team website originally advertised the promotion as, “Irish, Italian, Scandinavian, German.... or even Utahn! Whatever your background, celebrate it at the Home of the Owlz!” Orem is 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Three more minor leaguers suspended for drug violations NEW YORK — Kansas City outfielder Mike Bianucci, Seattle right-hander Edwin Martinez and Texas left-hander Chad James have been suspended for violating baseball’s minor league drug program. Bianucci received an 80-game penalty, and Martinez was suspended for 72 games. James was banned for 25 games. The punishments were announced by the commissioner’s office on Friday. Bianucci had a positive test for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 and metabolite, and Martinez for metabolites of Stanozolol. The reason for James’ violation was not announced, but the only specified 25-game penalty in the minor league program is for unauthorized use or possession of a syringe.

Interim manager says he’s wiser after rough exit from Arizona State PHOENIX — Pat Murphy came “home” this week, if not a triumphant return certainly firmly on his feet as interim manager of the San Diego Padres. Murphy still lives in Tempe in the same house he had during 15 years as coach at Arizona State, where he led the Sun Devils to the College World Series four times before being forced out amid an NCAA probe of improprieties in his program. He said at the time that he was being made a fall guy for the violations, which included improper telephone calls to recruits.

Manfred says baseball has system in place for monitoring hacking OAKLAND, Calif. — Commissioner Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball has a system in place for monitoring attacks on computer systems used by teams and the league’s office. Speaking before Friday night’s game between the Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics, Manfred did not delve into detail about the FBI’s investigation into the St. Louis Cardinals for allegedly attempting to hack into a database operated by the Houston Astros. Manfred did say he was confident no other incidents like this one have ever taken place before.

Astros place OF Jake Marisnick on 15-day DL with hamstring strain SEATTLE — The Houston Astros placed outfielder Jake Marisnick on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain on Friday and activated outfielder Colby Rasmus off the bereavement list. Marisnick, hitting .245 with five homers and 20 RBIs, was removed in the eighth inning of Thursday’s 8-4 victory at Colorado because of the injury. George Springer, hitting .277 with 10 homers and 24 RBI, moved to centre field from his usual right field spot for Friday’s game against the Seattle Mariners. Second baseman Jose Altuve left Wednesday’s game with a hamstring problem, but was not placed on the disabled list.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada throws against the Baltimore Orioles during third inning American League baseball action in Toronto on Friday.

Estrada guides Jays to win in testy affair BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 5 Orioles 4 TORONTO — A no-hit bid. Three ejections. Ninthinning drama. The opener of a three-game series between American League East rivals Toronto and Baltimore was loaded with tension, energy and capped with a nailbiting finish. Marco Estrada’s no-hit bid ended with a bloop single in the eighth inning and the Blue Jays hung on for a 5-4 victory over the Orioles in a spirited affair at Rogers Centre on Friday night. Toronto (37-32) put up five runs over the first three innings to give Estrada an early cushion. The 31-year-old right-hander issued four early walks and then retired 15 batters in a row before pinch-hitter Jimmy Paredes hit a flare that dropped into shallow left field. That was it for Estrada, who threw 118 pitches and tipped his hat to the crowd of 32,322 as he received a standing ovation. “I wanted to just keep going,” he said. “If I had to throw 200 pitches today, I would have. It was just unfortunate I gave up that hit.” Brett Cecil gave up two runs in the ninth inning before striking out Chris Davis with the potential tying run at third base. The Blue Jays extended their winning streak to three games and have won nine straight home games. The two teams have a history and it didn’t take long for things to get heated. Home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor warned both teams after Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista was grazed by a pitch from Mike Wright (2-3) in the first

inning. Gibbons came out to discuss the warning and was ejected. Bautista had some words for the Baltimore dugout as he stood on first base. He later came around to score on an Edwin Encarnacion double. In a game last April, the Orioles threw behind Bautista and he later voiced his displeasure with the players in the dugout. Adam Jones criticized Bautista for taking his time rounding the bases. The Toronto slugger didn’t want to get into another war of words on Friday. “We show up here to the baseball field every single day to win games, we did that today with a great job by our starting pitcher,” he said. “I’m not going to contribute to turning this into TMZ or a gossip column.” The Blue Jays scored twice in the first inning, added two runs in the second and tacked on another in the third. Estrada (5-3) threw seven innings plus one batter and struck out six. He allowed one earned run as the Orioles scored twice in the eighth. Roberto Osuna relieved Estrada but was tossed after hitting Jones with a pitch. Toronto bench coach DeMarlo Hale was also ejected. Steve Delabar got the final two outs of the eighth as first base coach Tim Leiper took over as acting manager. Orioles manager Buck Showalter, meanwhile, had a few conversations with the umpires over the course of the game but things did not get heated. “I don’t get involved in all the drama,” he said. “It’s a game played by talented people who care and get emotional about things. Sometimes umpires react to a reaction. They had their reasons and you deal with it.”

Warriors fans flood streets to celebrate BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. â€” The streets of Oakland were awash in yellow and blue as hundreds of thousands of fans watched and cheered the Golden State Warriors victory parade, which has been 40 years in the making. In a rare moment of glory, Oakland â€” a city that usually makes news for crime, corruption, protests and violenceâ€” shined in the national spotlight. On Friday, blue-and-gold-clad fans flooded downtown to see the NBA championship players, MC Hammer, six floats and, of course, the championship trophy, won after the team bested LeBron Jamesâ€™ Cleveland Cavaliers. People started lining up as early as 3 a.m., and city officials estimated at least 500,000 fans packed the streets when the parade started about 10 a.m. Kamala Moore arrived at the parade route at 4:15 a.m. â€œItâ€™s history in the making,â€? she said. â€œOh my gosh, I really want to see Riley (Curry),â€? she said, referring to the 2-year-old daughter of Stephen Curry, her favourite player. At Childrenâ€™s Fairyland on Lake Merritt, it was all about Riley on Friday as the large colorful sign was changed to read â€œRileylandâ€? on Friday morning. The mayors of San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland were all in the parade showing support for the team at a time when Oakland officials are fighting to keep the NBA champions from relocating across the San Francisco Bay. The Warriors have purchased land in San Francisco, where they plan to build a privately financed arena. Warriors fans and city leaders alike have stood behind their team through the season, and on Friday they basked in the glory of the teamâ€™s first NBA title in four decades. â€œThe success of the Golden State Warriors, who are headquartered and play in Oakland, have provided a golden spotlight on this city. The resilience and tremendous potential of Oakland are emblematic of the Warriorsâ€™ victory,â€? said Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, who represents east Oakland and other East Bay cities and has been a Warriors fan since 1976. The team won 105-97 in the Game 6 clincher Tuesday night. â€œWeâ€™re so proud of the job that the entire city of

Oakland did as these great ambassadors for these finals,â€? Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said Thursday. â€œLike the Warriors themselves, we put together a great team of businesses, fans and city workers that hosted the finals in world-class style.â€? Shortly after noon Friday, Oakland police responded to reports that three people had been shot about five blocks away from the rally site. The conditions and identities of the victims were not immediately released. Police did not yet have a motive in the shooting. It was not clear if the shooting was connected to the parade or rally. The procession of floats wound through the city, leading to public transit delays and road closures. People stood six deep in some areas just for a chance to spot a favourite player. As soon as the parade ended, a rally started at the cityâ€™s convention centre.

Nanny provides new details of alleged assault by Ribeiro NASHVILLE â€” A woman accusing Nashville Predators centre Mike Ribeiro of sexually assaulting her has provided more details in an amended complaint. The complaint filed Thursday in the Eastern District of the U.S. District Court in Texas says the then18-year-old woman was asked to help the Ribeiro family settle into their new home in McLean, Virginia, in August 2012 after working as their babysitter for six years while he played for the Dallas Stars. The woman said she was sleeping in the basement with two of Ribeiroâ€™s children when he assaulted her. The complaint alleges he had been drinking at the time. The court documents also outline other incidents where the woman claims Ribeiro brushed up against her and made her feel uncomfortable during her time working with the family. â€œMike and Tamara Ribeiro deny these allegations and will confront their accuser in a court of law,â€? Texas attorney Brian Lauten said in a statement Friday.

Sharks to let Scott, Hannan leave, still deciding fate of G Antti Niemi SAN JOSE, Calif. â€” The San Jose Sharks will let forward John Scott and defenceman Scott Hannan leave as unrestricted free agents next month but have not made a final decision about the fate of Antti Niemi. General manager Doug Wilson said Friday he has told Scott and Hannan that the Sharks will not look to sign them when the free agency period opens July 1. The 36-year-old Hannan had two goals and five assists in 58 games. Scott had just three goals and one assist in 38 games last season as he was brought in to add a physical element. But Scott does not fit into what new coach Peter DeBoer wants on his fourth line. â€œThe decision is the style of play that we want to play probably precludes him from getting the opportunity to play,â€? Wilson said. Wilson said the team has not made a final decision on whether to bring back its other two potential unrestricted free agents in Niemi and defenceman Matt Irwin. â€œThey would like to be here, but unrestricted free agency is a two-way street,â€? Wilson said. â€œIt has to be a match for us.â€?

Former world champion will coach Canadian womenâ€™s hockey team next season BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY â€” Former world champion Laura Schuler is taking the helm of the Canadian womenâ€™s hockey team. The Toronto native, who won three world gold medals with Canada in the 1990s, has been named the teamâ€™s head coach for the 2015-16 season. She succeeds Doug Derraugh, who coached Canada to a silver medal at the world championships earlier this year. Schuler was an assistant at the world tournament in Malmo, Sweden. She was also the head coach of the squad that won the under-18 world champion-

ship in 2014. Edmontonâ€™s Howie Draper and Winnipegâ€™s Dwayne Gylywoychuk will be Schulerâ€™s assistants while Brad Kirkwood of Calgary is the teamâ€™s goaltending coach. â€œThese four coaches bring a tremendous amount of knowledge and international experience to Canadaâ€™s national womenâ€™s team program,â€? said Melody Davidson, Hockey Canadaâ€™s general manager of national womenâ€™s team programs. â€œWeâ€™re looking forward to our coaches working with our senior athletes as we prepare for the Four Nations Cup and IIHF Womenâ€™s World Championships.â€? Hockey Canada says it will name its coaching staff for the 2018 Winter Olympics by the end of next year.

Everybody loves a parade in Rain or shine, the Victoria Day weekend parade has been a tradition in the community of Mirror for more than 85 years. This year was no exception — despite the rain, people turned out in droves to watch the parade and to enjoy a day of fun activities. The expanded schedule of events — a co-operative effort by Mirror’s volunteer and business organizations — started with a “made-from-scratch” pancake breakfast, hosted by the Mirror Fire Department. After the parade, vintage car buffs enjoyed a show and shine of meticulously restored vehicles. Meanwhile, the kids were able to participate in activities, such as a bouncy castle, fishing pond, crafts and storytelling.

Many people, with Mirror “passports” in hand, collected stamps from various venues around town in order to enter a draw for prizes, before a barbecue at the Community Hall. Then folks danced the night away to the music of John Carlyle and Hatrick. Fireworks rounded out the evening.

Skipping court means more jail MAN GUILTY IN FATAL HIT AND RUN SKIPPED OUT ON TRIAL

A Red Deer man blamed paranoia, insomnia and a fear of going to jail for why he disappeared mid-trial while facing charges from a fatal hit and run. Brent Robert Cameron, 26, pleaded guilty on Friday to charges of failing to attend court, breaching his probation and breaching his recognizance in Red Deer provincial court before Judge Bert Skinner. On Jan. 15, in the midst of a Court of Queen’s Bench trial, Cameron didn’t show up for closing arguments, abandoning his trial. The trial related to a fatal hit and run on Taylor Drive bridge. He faced

charges of failing to remain at the scene of a collision and public mischief for making a false stolen vehicle report. Cameron was arrested 10 days after he fled and held in custody until June 5, when his trial resumed. Justice John Little convicted Cameron of both charges and scheduled his sentencing for July 22 in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench. Paul Gabriel Bertin, 18, was killed when he was run down on the bridge on Oct. 6, 2012. He was found in the northbound lanes suffering fatal head and neck injuries from the collision. Bertin had recently moved to Red Deer from Botha. At the time, Cameron was driving to a party with a woman he had met at a

bar. The woman testified she was intoxicated and texting at the time of the collision and did not see it. She did say she heard a thump. Cameron parked his vehicle in Riverside Meadows and then called a cab and sent her away. Cameron reported his vehicle stolen to police. When questioned later by police, Cameron said he hit a dark figure he thought was a small bear. Damage to Cameron’s vehicle matched debris left at the scene. During the trial, Cameron was also bound by court orders stemming from a 2014 conviction for several firearmrelated offences, including unlawful possession and careless use. He was sentenced to 10 months in jail and 12 months probation for fire-

arms charges. Among his probation conditions was reporting to his probation officer in early January and when he fled his trial, he failed to do so. Prosecutor Maurice Collard said often failing to attend court leads to a fine in the amount of $150. However, he said because of the circumstances around Cameron’s failure to attend the trial, including the seriousness of the offence he was on trial for, it warranted some jail time. Collard asked Skinner for a sentence of 60 days for all the charges. Defence Counsel Glen Allen agreed that he seriousness of the circumstances around the offence warranted more than a fine. Skinner sentenced Cameron to 43 days in jail. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Possible gang ties revealed during murder preliminary Possible gang ties to the 2013 New Year’s Day shooting death of a Red Deer man were revealed Friday in Red Deer provincial court. Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis said Kyle Ashley Twovoice, 22, of Calgary, who has ties to the Mad Cowz gang out of Winnipeg, breached conditions during his visit to the first-degree murder preliminary hearing of a 19-year-old male. Twovoice pleaded guilty to two breaches of a recognizance charges. The 19-year-old is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Lloyd Sarson, 25. Sarson’s body was found with fatal gunshot wounds in a car parked in an alley behind Ross Street near 37th Avenue. The accused was 17 at the time of the shooting and can’t be named under the Canada Youth Justice Act. His preliminary inquiry on the murder charge was held this week in Red Deer provincial court. Inquiries are held to test the strength of the Crown’s case before heading to trial. Judge Gordon Deck ordered him to stand trial. His trial date will be scheduled on July 6. Twovoice attended the Tuesday sitting of the preliminary inquiry. Federal Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis said Twovoice came to show his support for a fellow Mad Cowz gang member. Defence counsel Dan Wilson said it wasn’t a sign of support but that Twovoice was there to observe. RCMP members also in attendance of the preliminary inquiry smelled marijuana on Twovoice and escorted him out of the courtroom. Officers found that Twovoice was on a recognizance out of Winnipeg that included a marijuana abstinence clause and one ordering him to remain in Manitoba. Twovoice entered into a recognizance in 2012 from a 2011 drug trafficking conviction as part of his sentence. Judge Bert Skinner, presiding over the courtroom Friday, sentenced Twovoice to two weeks in jail.

Catching the New Wave YUKON BLONDE RETURN TO RED DEER WITH A NEW SOUND ‘WE STARTED WORKING WITH A VINTAGE SYNTHESIZER AND THE NEW SOUND CAME NATURALLY THAT WAY. IT’S A DARKER, MORE MATURE SOUND THAN ON OUR FORMER RECORD, BUT I CONSIDER IT A NATURAL PROGRESSION — BRANDON SCOTT YUKON BLONDE GUITARIST

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF They’re too young to be experiencing early-’80s flashbacks, but members of Yukon Blonde threw hints of Talking Heads and Blondie on their new album. The band has purposely evolved from a guitar-driven rock band to a group with synth New Wave-pop influences. While Yukon Blonde’s first release in three years, On Blonde, has the potential to surprise fans, so far, all the feedback has been positive, said Brandon Scott, the group’s guitarist. “We started working with a vintage synthesizer and the new sound came naturally that way. It’s a darker, more mature sound than on our former record, but I consider it a natural progression.” Band members, who perform on Sunday at Bo’s Bar and Grill in Red Deer, had taken a hiatus from touring to work on separate projects for a few months in 2013. Lead singer Jeff Innes put out a solo album, while Scott put out an EP of folks songs, called Postcard Writer. In regrouping to record, Yukon Blonde wasn’t going to sound just like it did on the 2012 Juno-nominated album Tiger Talk, said Scott — not with new bassist, James Bull, and new synth player Rebecca Gray on board. Innes, the main songwriter, had also been listening to a lot of Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys last winter. And this early 1980s influence is evident in the campy, glam rock video for the single Saturday Night. It stars Toronto drag queen Sapphire lip-synching to Innes’s voice, provoking viewers to question what they are seeing. Director Mac Boucher liked this ambiguity, comparing Sapphire’s Diva persona to Tim Curry’s Dr. FrankN-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. “She’s animated, glamorous and is

Vancouver-based band Yukon Blonde perform at Bo’s in Red Deer on Sunday. straight up one of the best performers I’ve ever seen,” stated Boucher. Scott was also “blown away” by Sapphire’s performance on the video, which has a “’70s Italian film flavour that suited the song’s darker vibe. ... “I feel like the front half of our album is poppy and upbeat,” Scott continued, “but there’s a 1980s New York darker sound on songs like Saturday Night and Starvation.” He cites Talking Heads and Blondie music as influences. Since the band doesn’t publish its lyrics or discuss songs, listeners will have to draw their own conclusions

about meanings. Scott was raised in remote Quesnel, B.C., and now appreciates its advantages. But when he was 17, he could hardly wait to escape to a bigger centre. He began studying photography at the University of Victoria before being lured to Kelowna by friends who wanted him to join their band, Ludo. As he’d been playing guitar since age eight, and “the Okanagan had a bit of a record scene in the early 2000s,” Scott was glad to make the move. In 2005, he partnered with Innes and drummer Graham Jones to form a group originally called Alphababy.

“It was a terrible name,” said Scott, so was changed to Yukon Blonde. Now based in Vancouver, the band has seen a steady turnover of members. Scott considers the current lineup “the best batch of musicians we’d had in a long time,” connecting musically and personally. He looks forward to playing for Red Deer fans for the first time in a long while. Tickets to the 7 p.m. concert, with special guests, are $12 to $17 from the venue.

Discovery Channel looks to regain its bite BY TOM DUNKEL SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — “We’re just scanning for a fin,” says Greg Skomal, “waiting for a disruption of the surface.” His head swivels in slow motion, like a sprinkler, as he scours a placid patch of the Atlantic Ocean. Waiting. Skomal is a senior biologist with Massachusetts’s Division of Marine Fisheries who periodically moonlights as a TV biologist for Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. It’s late March and he has come to Fernandina Beach with a boat and crew of nine production hands. They’re shooting parts of an hour-long program titled Shark Trek for Shark Week 2015, the 28th edition of the seemingly indestructible franchise. Skomal is searching for evidence to support his hypothesis that great white sharks are returning in force to their old Eastern Seaboard stomping grounds, although “chomping grounds” would be more in keeping with the high-octane spirit of Shark Week. Discovery Channel, whose headquarters are in Silver Spring, Maryland, likes to serve its science with a side helping of histrionics; witness past Shark Week programs such as Great White Serial Killer, Teeth of Death and Blood in the Water. But in the past few years some producers yielded to temptation (or ratings pressure) and went several steps further. They presented phony shark attacks as real. They played the Godzilla card, suggesting prehistoric monster sharks still roam the seas. A public backlash ensued. Discovery executives claim to have seen the error of those ways. We’ll soon know if Shark Week has cleaned up its act. The new season begins July 5. For the record, the odds of someone in the United States getting bitten by a shark are about 11.5 million to 1, according to statistics compiled by employees of the Florida Museum of Natural History, repository of the International Shark Attack File. You also are more apt to be killed by a cow, lightning bolt, power tool and court-ordered execution than by a shark. Of course, it doesn’t take a programming genius to know that millions of people aren’t going to tune in for Cow Week. Skomal and the Shark Week team have dropped anchor roughly a half-mile off Fernandina Beach, which sits smack on the Georgia border. For eons great whites regularly plied the ocean from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. They particularly enjoyed dining on gray seals, a denizen of the rocky New England-to-Mid-Atlantic coastline that by the 1950s had been all but wiped out by hunters. White sharks dwindled, too. Thanks to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the gray seal population has substantially recovered in the past decade. And guess who Skomal believes is back in town? “The cafe, in essence, had opened, and the top predator of seals arrived,” he says.

Greg Skomal, a marine fisheries scientist from Massachusetts, waits along with the rest of the ship√≠s crew for any sign of sharks. In August he tagged 18 great white sharks when the crew was filming a “Shark Trek” segment at Cape Cod’s Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. In the succeeding months, he tracked satellite and acoustic signals as far as South Carolina, Georgia and northern Florida — well beyond the range of those chubby gray seals they love to munch on. Tagging signals can’t pinpoint locations, however. Skomal’s educated guess is that lots of great white sharks are lurking around the inlets and estuaries near Fernandina Beach, an ecosystem he describes as “very New Englandy.” He thinks that down here great whites alter their gray seal diet and subsist on porpoises, right whales and smaller sharks. To validate his theory (and make better Shark Trek television) Skomal needs to find some Southerndwelling great white sharks. It’s now Saturday morning. He and the crew got to Fernandina Beach on Wednesday afternoon and immediately went shark scouting. A great white buzzed their boat three times before they had all their tagging equipment ready. “It was a 15-footer!” Skomal says. “We’ve been sitting and watching ever since.” Three days of staring at the ocean, hoping a shark fin will break the surface again. Waiting. As media stars go, sharks are the latest of late bloomers. Their genetic roots stretch back more than

450 million years, making them, in the grand scheme of things, older than trees but younger than dirt. They are fish with an asterisk: About 70 percent give birth to “pups” rather than lay eggs; the vast majority travel solo rather than in schools. And a few of the 500-some known species are warm-blooded like mammals, the great white being one of them. Great whites, with their Mona Lisa smiles hiding a razor bite, are at the top of the shark pyramid. Marine biologists refer to them as the ultimate “charismatic megafauna,” citing a beguiling combination of mystery, fear and respect that they engender. They’re silent assassins gliding through still water. The only charismatic megafauna that come close to having the star power of great whites are dinosaurs, but dinos lose points for having gone extinct. Historically, shark mystique didn’t translate to academic interest. Before World War II there were “little bits and pieces” of research being done, says Sam Gruber, a marine biology professor emeritus at the University of Miami considered a pioneer in the field. Ernest Hemingway personified the prevailing perception of sharks: nuisances. Papa used to “fish” for them on his boat in Cuba, forsaking rod and reel for a Thompson submachine gun.

Learning to fly in new Space action series Killjoys

CP: How about you guys? John-Kamen: Loved it. I like the fighting, it was amazing. The training was incredible. We did Krav Maga, I did capoeira, military training, guns and it’s just great. Ashmore: I hadn’t done a whole lot of fighting, either. And I think reading that stuff as an actor, any chance you’re going to get to do something exciting and probably look like a badass, you jump at it. We all sort of, on some level, enjoy action movies and all that sort of stuff so to get a chance to be a sort of an action hero in those scenarios is fun. CP: This is yet another series featuring a tough female lead. Hannah, do you feel any responsibility to be a role model? John-Kamen: I don’t want to just be on the arm of the man that’s going to save me. I think it’s really important to have strong females in leads, in shows, that have something to say. Macfarlane: What’s also really great about the sci-fi genre is we do have a strong female lead but we don’t have to really talk about the fact that it’s a strong female lead in the world — just because we’re in a world where women are in charge and it doesn’t have to be a point of contention.

STORY FROM PAGE C3

SHARKS: Swarms In July 1945 the USS Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine while en route from Guam to the Philippines. An estimated 900 men survived the explosions. Only 317 were pulled from the water four days later. In the interim swarms of sharks fed on the dead and some of the living. (Shark Week thoroughly covered that catastrophe in 2007 with Ocean of Fear: Worst Shark Attack Ever.) After the war, the Navy began investigating basic shark behavior and biology, which included unsuccessful attempts to develop a reliable repellent. Bob Hueter, director of the Center for Shark Research at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, began his career in the mid-1970s. By then Navy research was winding down and the field remained “fairly primitive.” Peter Benchley would soon help change that. He published Jaws in 1974, and a year later the movie adaptation, directed by Steven Spielberg, was released. Jaws became the first film to gross more than $100 million domestically and won a figurative Academy Award for Most Induced Nightmares. Jaws mania “changed everything,” Gruber says. “It changed the entire world, not just the country.” It ultimately inspired three sequels, video games, two musicals, Saturday Night Live’s “Land Shark” parody, and who knows how many future marine biologists. Jaws raised the profile of sharks astronomically, but initially not for the better. In truth, it wasn’t safe for sharks to go in the water. Kill tournaments became a fad. The National Marine Fisheries Service (now NOAA Fisheries) hopped on the bandwagon in the mid1980s by encouraging commercial shark fishing. The agency considered sharks an “underutilized resource” that should be

put to better use making clothing, wallets, cosmetics and soup. By 1993 the agency had backtracked and implemented a shark management policy that forbade catching 19 species. What turned the tide? Primarily media attention to “finning,” the grisly practice of stripping a shark like an abandoned car. Fishermen toss the mutilated shark into the water to die after first slicing off all its fins, which are a high-priced delicacy and aphrodisiac in some countries. Around this same period in the late 1980s, the advent of high-quality, lighter-weight underwater cameras breathed new life into nature documentaries. The shark gestalt began to shift. “People were beginning to understand the shark was not this death fish,” Gruber says. They also began to realize that sharks, who mature slowly and breed sparingly, were disappearing. The conservative guesstimate is that 100 million are killed annually today, an unsustainable rate of demise. The International Union for Conservation of Nature identifies 201 species as threatened. Last summer the United States added its first shark, the scalloped hammerhead, to its endangered species list. Meanwhile, a 2013 study by the University of British Columbia says that shark watching generates $314 million each year worldwide and shark-related tourism could more than double within 20 years. Shark Week debuted on July 17, 1988, in time to ride the nascent wave of shark revisionism and conservation. The inaugural show was about building and testing a motorized shark cage. Doesn’t sound like riveting television, but that show and the nine others that followed doubled Discovery Channel’s ratings in prime time. There is no in-house archivist at Discovery, hence the conflicting accounts of who deserves to take a bow for the idea of Shark Week. But its pop-

CP: You haven’t done much sci-fi before, did you find anything especially difficult to wrap your head around? Ashmore: Oh, the pronunciation of words! Because it was always, “How are you saying that?” “Oh, I’m not saying it like that.” You know what I mean? We have to kind of get on board with stuff. Macfarlane: I remember the first time we went to the cockpit (of the spaceship) and the set designer had done a beautiful job. There were all these buttons and screens and things and (the direction) was like, “OK, and now you’re flying!” Ashmore: How? Macfarlane: We don’t know how to fly. Ashmore: Nobody gave us a lesson! Macfarlane: You make it up. (Pretending to handle the controls): “So, this is clearly, like, the jib? And this is the thruster speed!” CP: I would think that partnering up with Syfy gives this show a huge boost in profile. Ashmore: We went to Fan Expo last year, the year that we were still shooting. We’d only been shooting for a month and there were hundreds of people at a panel for a show that nobody barely knew anything about. John-Kamen: There was one picture and like an article that was out! And we had like this crazy amount of fans and it was amazing and they were asking such great questions. Ashmore: In this genre, sci-fi, people are incredibly loyal and incredibly interested in other shows within the genre so you kind of have a built-in group of people who are going to be really interested in it. Which is nice to know, too, that there is interest out there.

ularity has been a steady upward climb, from Benchley’s stint as host in 1994, to the now-classic slow-motion video of a shark caught breaching in 2001, to the introduction of a Shark After Dark talk show in 2013. Life is good at parent company Discovery Communications. President and chief executive David Zaslav is now the highest-paid CEO in America, receiving $156 million in 2014. Discovery Channel won’t release budget figures, but the purse strings don’t appear to be pulled too tight. After all, they hired Jimmy Buffett to do an unannounced concert at Hermosa Beach, California, to kick off Shark Week 2014. Discovery reportedly spent $150,000 to build a 50-foot-long mechanical shark with hydraulic jaws that replicate the biting power of a prehistoric shark, all 20,000 pounds per square inch. Sharkzilla was Buffett’s de facto opening act at Hermosa Beach, chewing up a kayak and lifeguard tower to enthusiastic applause.

TORONTO — There’s a steep learning curve to playing a spaceship-flying hero on a sci-fi show, say the stars of the new Space drama Killjoys. Aaron Ashmore, Hannah John-Kamen and Luke Macfarlane say their stints on the action series involved martial arts training to pull off fight sequences and a trip to Fan Expo to get a taste of their target audience. But there were also early stumbles in learning how to rattle off invented terminology for this fictional world, and in figuring out what buttons to push on the show’s spaceship, says Macfarlane, new to the genre after tackling roles on the medical serial The Night Shift and family saga Brothers & Sisters. Killjoys follows a trio of interplanetary bounty hunters — known here as killjoys — who chase warrants through a distant planetary system. Brit actress John-Kamen stars as Dutch, a charming but troubled killjoy who harbours a dark past, while Ashmore of Smallville and Veronica Mars fame plays her partner John, more of a peacemaker who hates conflict. Macfarlane plays D’avin, a former soldier who joins the team when he reconnects with John, his estranged brother. Created by Lost Girl creator Michelle Lovretta, the co-venture between Space and Syfy is produced by Temple Street Productions, also behind the Space hit Orphan Black. The Canadian Press chatted with the stars about strong heroines, the dedication of sci-fi fans, and how to fly an imaginary spaceship. CP: This is a very physical show, there’s a lot of fighting. Did that involve much training, and Luke, did you have to bulk up?

You spend much of the first episode without your shirt on. Macfarlane: Yes. Ashmore (laughing): You noticed? Macfarlane: I was supposed to have my shirt on more in the first episode. I was like, “Umm, I’d like to put my shirt on in this episode.” Ashmore: It was feeling gratuitous to you? Macfarlane: It was feeling gratuitous. I’ve always been a sort of athletic person but the fighting was all new to me.

BRIEFS

CFL hall of famer, MMA fighter among contestants for Amazing Race Canada TORONTO â€” A three-time Grey Cup winner and his daughter, married Winnipeg cops, and a B.C.-based fatherdaughter team round out the field for The Amazing Race Canada. CFL great Neil Lumsden and his daughter Kristin were among the last teams to be announced for this yearâ€™s around-the-world reality race, which kicks off July 8 on CTV. Ope Fagbongbe and his daughter Simi are the only other parent-child team that will compete in the race, while married police officers Brian and Cynthia Boyd round out the new additions to the field. Other couples competing on the show include: Torontoâ€™s Max Altamuro and MMA fighter Elias Theodorou; former Italian soccer player Nic La Monaca and Sabrina Mercuri of Montreal; and engaged Nova Scotians Michaelia Drever and Hamilton Elliott, the latter of whom has been transitioning from female to male since he was 15. Two sets of brothers will also compete â€” Hamiltonâ€™s Gino and Jesse Montani as well as Brent and Sean Sweeney of Musquodoboit Harbour, N.S. â€” along with two sets of co-workers: Royal Newfoundland Constabulary cops Dana Hayward and Amanda Johnston and Vancouver correctional officers Susan Hayre and Sharnjit Gill. Toronto exes Dujean Williams and Leilani Ross as well as Ontario-based pro wrestlers Nick Foti and Matt Giunta are also running the race. The winning team will receive $250,000, free gas from Petro-Canada, a year of Air Canada flights and two Chevy trucks. The third season will again be hosted by Olympic gold medallist Jon Montgomery.

TORONTO â€” Canadian dance producer Deadmau5 says heâ€™s resolved his conflict with Toronto play Deadmouse: The Musical after he issued a ceaseand-desist notice. The production was set to run from July 1-12 during the Toronto Fringe Festival, until Deadmau5 issued a notice alleging intellectual property violations. The six-time Grammy nominee, whose real name is Joel Zimmerman, posted the notice on Twitter, then over the ensuing hours argued with fans sympathetic to the light-hearted production. Finally he posted that the situation was resolved, because the musical had added a disclaimer noting that it was a parody. The website for Deadmouse: The Musical also now includes a note stating that it was neither written nor endorsed by Deadmau5, but instead made â€œout of love of house music culture.â€? According to the website, the musical is Ratatouille meets Book of Mormon and follows the story of a mouse who â€œwants to be a house DJ but is discriminated against for being a mouse.â€? The Niagara Falls, Ont., native tweeted that the â€œmusical debacleâ€? was settled and he was â€œmoving along.â€? Not long before that, he quipped: â€œWhere do I send this bill for all this ... promo?â€?

U.S. appeals court reinstates songwritersâ€™ copyright lawsuit against Bieber, Usher

INTRODUCTORY OFFER

RICHMOND, Va. â€” A federal appeals court has reinstated a $10 million lawsuit claiming Justin Bieber and Usher copied parts of a song written by two Virginia songwriters. In a unanimous ruling Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a jury should decide whether the song Somebody to Love â€” performed by the two stars â€” is intrinsically similar to a song of the same name copyrighted by Devin Copeland and Maerio Overton. A federal judge in Norfolk dismissed the complaint last year, saying the two versions differed significantly in tone and lyrical content. The appeals court, which listened to all versions of the song, acknowledged the differences but said the choruses are similar enough that a reasonable jury might find in favour of the songwriters.

A rallying cry for interfaith climate action BY RABBI JONAH PESNER SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE This week the Vatican released Pope Francis’s encyclical outlining a Catholic ethic of care for the poor as being integrally connected with care for our ecosystem. As Jews, we agree with the Pope’s central argument that the way we treat each other as individuals is tied to the way we treat our planet; both require our compassion and diligence. Climate change disproportionately affects the most vulnerable in our societies. In the United States, all people, but especially those in poor communities, are already negatively impacted by the rising sea levels, decreased crop yields, and extreme weather events caused by our changing climate. That is why our Jewish community has worked to address climate change and its root causes, inspired by the words of Genesis 2:15 that first instructed humankind to till and tend the earth. The Pope’s encyclical isn’t the first time the Catholic Church has demonstrated concern about climate change. Indeed, the Jewish community, the United States’ Conference of Catholic Bishops, and other faith denominations were founding partners of the National Religious Partnership for the Environment in the 1980s. Our work together on this issue is rooted in the belief shared among Reform Jews and Catholics that we have an imperative to protect the poor and vulnerable. We take inspiration from our sacred teaching that in the seventh year, we are obligated to “let our land rest” (Leviticus 25:2). In this way, our text reminds us to act compassionately toward our crop-producing earth for its benefit and ours. This year marks such a Sabbatical year, a reminder of our responsibility to the natural resources that sustain us. However, our care for the earth does not begin or end in this seventh year. We live these values every day. In our congregations, Reform Jews are reducing our energy and water usage and being mindful of our consumption and waste. At the Religious Action Center where I serve as director, we lift our movement’s voice on Capitol Hill to let Congress know that as long as the problem of climate change persists, as long as we unceasingly abuse our earth, poor communities will be disproportionately affected. We advocate for robust emissions standards for cars, cleaner power plants, stronger regulation of water pollutants, and necessary funding for the Green Climate Fund — all of which will help heal our earth. But we cannot do this important work alone. Re-

form Jewish lay people, rabbis, cantors, and educators, need our Catholic friends and colleagues, as they need us and people of all faiths and no faith, to speak out together about climate change as a moral issue. In unison, we must tell decision makers that reducing our carbon emissions, regulating power plants, and supporting sustainable development in poor nations are issues that we care about. When we stand with Catholic cardinals, bishops, priests, deacons, orders, and lay people, we will be heard. When we stand side-by-side with Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, and fellow Jewish friends, we will make change. In my time as a congregational rabbi at Temple Israel in Boston, I relied on my clergy and lay colleagues across denominational and faith lines to amplify my voice on issues of social justice, just as I amplified theirs. We learned what could be achieved by our acting together when universal healthcare became a reality in Massachusetts. People of all backgrounds benefitted from that landmark law but especially the most vulnerable. Today, with this papal encyclical, I feel that same surge of interfaith power as we join with Catholics in the global struggle for climate justice. This year marks one of our last chances to stem the acceleration of climate disruption. Around the world, momentum is building toward the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change this December. We are praying and advocating for a strong international agreement to dramatically reduce our collective carbon emissions. As we stand together with people of many faiths, I also call to action the Jewish community to continue to be champions in adapting to the reality of climate change. In our homes and in our congregations, we must conserve natural resources through congregational greening programs like GreenFaith. We must work with state and local governments to ensure that our power plants and other facilities are as efficient as possible through the implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and it requires all of us, united, to make meaningful impact. Rabbi Jonah Pesner, a passionate activist and experienced community organizer, is the Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.

Southern Baptist president vows never to perform same-sex unions NASHVILLE — The president of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination on Tuesday vowed never to officiate at a same-sex union, and the Southern Baptist Convention called on the U.S. Supreme Court not to declare a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. Pastor Ronnie Floyd was speaking to delegates at the convention’s annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio. But he said his message was also for the U.S. Supreme Court — which is expected to rule within days on same-sex marriage — and for all of America. Floyd said he has compassion for people whom he described as struggling with same-sex attraction, but he said it would be wrong to remain silent on the issue. “America: We stand believing that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a covenant commitment for a lifetime,” Floyd said to a standing ovation from the 5,000 people in attendance. “We do not need to redefine what God himself has defined already.” The theme of Floyd’s address was “now is the time to lead,” a refrain he repeated several times. In addition to marriage, Floyd asked Southern Baptists to lead opposition to abortion. “Even though reports state that abortion rates are down some, we do not need to become content in or callous to this deplorable issue.” Floyd also called upon Christians to “decry all racism and prejudice, denouncing it as sin against God and sin against one another.” But Floyd was especially fervent about marriage, saying: “This could be a watershed moment in our history, possibly changing the trajectory of our nation unlike anything we’ve seen since 1973 in the Roe vs. Wade decision.”

Bush says religion join us this is set of guiding personal principles, not policy roadmap

Sunday

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, Iowa — Jeb Bush cautioned against blending politics and religion Wednesday, signalling he will not necessarily heed the pope or pander to social conservatives on policy in his campaign for the Republican nomination. “I don’t think we should politicize our faith,” he said, speaking in a state where evangelical Christians wield significant political influence. “I think religion ought to be about making us better as people and less about things that end up getting into the political realm.” His comments came on the eve of an encyclical by Pope Francis endorses the scientific view that human activity contributes to climate change — a conclusion challenged by many Republicans and several of the party’s candidates for president. Bush, who converted to Catholicism, suggested he will not be beholden to a faith-driven policy agenda wherever it comes from because his religion is a personal beacon, not a political roadmap. “I go to church to have my faith nourished, to have my faith challenged,” the former Florida governor told reporters after the outdoor meeting with about 75 eastern Iowa Republicans in the backyard of a local supporter. “That’s why I go to Mass. I don’t go to Mass for economic policy or for things in politics.” On the coming encyclical, he said he would read and reflect on it. “I think Pope Francis is an extraordinary leader of a church whose teachings I try to follow, and it doesn’t need to get any more complicated than that,” Bush said. “But I think it’s better to solve this in the political realm.” Bush has said he accepts the scientific premise that the climate is changing and believes that examining the causes should be a priority. But he’s contended that the science is not clear on how much global warming comes from human activity.

Church near Sea of Galilee caught fire in possible arson A Catholic church near the Sea of Galilee was heavily damaged by fire Thursday in a possible arson attack by Jewish extremists. Israel police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a fire broke out at the Church of the Multiplication in the middle of the night, causing extensive damage to the inside and outside of the building. Rosenfeld said police are investigating whether the fire was deliberate and are searching for suspects. A passage from a Jewish prayer, calling for the wiping out of idol worship, was found scrawled in red spray paint on a wall outside the church. Father Matthias Karl, a German monk from the church, said a souvenir shop, an office for pilgrims and a meeting room were badly damaged, and bibles and prayer books were destroyed in the fire. “It’s totally destroyed. The fire was very active,” he said.

Use ‘light touch’ on Bitcoin: senate REPORT RECOMMENDS OTTAWA USE ‘ALMOST A HANDS OFF APPROACH’ ON REGULATING CRYPTOCURRENCY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A report from Canada’s Senate says Ottawa should use a “light touch” when considering any regulation of Bitcoin and other digital currencies, to avoid stifling the growth of these new technologies. The report recommends that the federal government should employ “almost a hands off approach” when it comes to virtual currencies, monitoring the situation as it evolves and only introducing regulations as necessary. Bitcoin is a digital currency that is exchanged through peer-to-peer computer networks and is not issued or controlled by a central bank or any other authority. Virtual currencies like Bitcoin employ blockchain technology, which is computer code that that makes up the currency’s underlying architecture. The Senate report says blockchain technology has many promising applications, and recommends that the federal government consider using it to enhance the protection of private information. “Our committee was told that by cutting out third parties, blockchain technology can give consumers and governments a more effective level of online security — particularly relevant given the cyber attack on government of Canada websites this week,” Senator Irving Gerstein said during a news conference Friday. He was referring to a co-ordinated denial-of-service attack that blocked access to federal government websites for nearly two hours on Wednesday. The hacking group Anonymous claimed responsibility and said the attack was to protest the government’s anti-terrorism bill C-51. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said no personal information was compromised. The Senate’s report on digital currency is the culmination of 14 months of research by the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce, including interviews with 55 witnesses and a fact-finding trip to

New York City. Blockchain technology could be used to securely and permanently register marriages, births, real estate deals and a “myriad” of other transactions, Gerstein said. Digital currency can also benefit people in the developing world by providing them with access to financial services, thus improving their quality of life, he added. “However, there are two sides to every coin — even a Bitcoin,” said Gerstein. “The power offered by blockchain

technology for people to protect their identity has a flipside.” In particular, the committee report noted risks that the technology could be used to launder money or finance terrorist activitie. “The consequence of this risk of criminality means a certain amount of regulation is needed,” Gerstein said. “However, balance is something almost all witnesses stressed, and the committee is of like mind. We recognize that these new technologies may have other innovative and, as of yet, unimagined applications, and we are

Experts calling for more data on foreign investment in real estate

STATSCAN REPORT

May’s consumer price index up from 2014

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — There is scant data available on how many foreign investors are snatching up Canadian homes, and experts say the knowledge gap needs to be filled if policy makers hope to maintain the stability of the country’s real estate market. Foreign investment has become a hot-button issue in Vancouver lately, with many residents blaming demand from offshore buyers who are looking for a safe place to stash their money for the city’s soaring home prices. Critics are also concerned that foreign investors are more likely to pull out of the market at the first sign that prices are heading south, which could exacerbate the extent of a housing correction. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson recently penned a letter to B.C. Premier Christy Clark suggesting the province introduce a speculation tax on people who flip homes and on luxury properties — a suggestion that Clark shot down. The B.C. Real Estate Association maintains it’s Vancouver’s constrained geography and limited supply of detached homes — and not demand from foreigners — that’s sending prices through the roof. But Cameron Muir, the association’s chief economist, admits that hard data is difficult to come by. “The data is not being collected, currently, by government,” he says. All of the uproar over Vancouver’s affordability crisis — there is even a popular Twitter hashtag, IDontHave1Million — has highlighted a national issue: data on foreign investment in Canadian real estate is scarce. “People are putting forward all

Last year, while preparing its an-

nual fall rental vacancies report, the agency polled condominium property managers on the percentage of homes owned by investors whose permanent residence is overseas. The resulting figures were much lower than many had anticipated. The survey found that roughly 2.4 per cent of Toronto condos and 2.3 per cent of those in Vancouver were owned by offshore investors, although in certain neighbourhoods in Vancouver, the percentage of foreign ownership was as high as 5.8 per cent.

OTTAWA — The Canadian economy sent another set of mixed signals Friday with inflation edging higher and retail sales taking a step back, suggesting the recovery continued to struggle to find its footing. Statistics Canada said the annual pace of inflation in Canada was 0.9 per cent in May following a 0.8 per cent increase for April as higher prices for food more than offset a decline in lower energy prices. The agency also reported that retail sales for April dropped 0.1 per cent to $42.5 billion following gains in February and March. Economists had expected an increase of 0.7 per cent. Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter said the mixed messages have been characteristic of the economy so far this year. “That tends to happen when there are big shifts a foot and when frankly the economy is stumbling along at relatively slow growth,” Porter said. “The main take away here is: inflation is still relatively muted, even with the comeback in gasoline prices, and retail spending is soft, mostly because of weakness in what had previously been the strongest areas of the country.” Porter noted the inflation data was for May, while the retail sales data was for April. “That further complicates things a bit,” he said. Economists have been grappling with a series of see-sawing data in recent weeks after the economy contracted in the first quarter at an annual rate of 0.6 per cent. Statistics Canada reported on Monday that factory sales contracted 2.1 per cent in April, followed by a report Wednesday that wholesale sales grew by a better-than-expected 1.9 per cent in that same month. Royal Bank assistant chief economist Dawn Desjardins said on balance the recent data supports the bank’s view that the economy will recover in the second quarter. “The combination of strong housing activity and firm wholesale trade is forecast to more than compensate for a dismal performance by the manufacturing sector and soft retail sales activity in April,” Desjardins wrote in a report.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 117.52 points at 14,653.12 as oil and metals prices retreated. Meanwhile, Statistics Canada said retail sales fell 0.1 per cent to $42.5 billion in April following gains in February and March. That surprised economists who had forecast an increase of 0.7 per cent. On commodity markets, the July crude contract closed down 84 cents at US$59.61 a barrel, while August gold eased 10 cents to US$1,201.90 an ounce and July copper fell almost four cents to US$2.57 a pound. The loonie lost 0.26 of a U.S. cent to 81.53 cents. U.S. indexes were also solidly in the red, giving back a big chunk of Thursday’s Fed-boosted gains as the Dow Jones industrials lost 99.89 points to 18,015.95 or more than half of its 180-point advance the previous session. The Nasdaq, which closed at an all-time high on Thursday, was 15.95 points lower at 5,117 and the S&P 500 declined 11.25 points to 2,109.99. Analysts said much of Thursday’s gain could be traced to the dovish stance on interest rates taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting on Wednesday. The U.S. central bank lowered its growth forecasts for the American economy, hinting that it was in no rush to raise histori-

cally low rates and that an increase, when it does come, will likely be moderate. Kevin Headland, director, capital markets & strategy, Manulife Asset Management, said that after Thursday’s “pop” on U.S. markets some giveback as almost inevitable. “I think the Fed’s announcement was somewhat expected but the market kind of reacted like it wasn’t expected,” he said of the “knee-jerk” reaction. “We saw that with the oil prices sliding downwards. We’ve seen that in the past with gold, both sides. The market tends to always overreact and then eventually correct itself and finds a nice landing spot somewhere in the middle.” And while news from the Fed and on Greece’s sovereign debt crisis continue to periodically roil markets everywhere, weaker economic fundamentals in Canada compared with the United States is an added burden on the TSX.

26TH ANNUAL PRE-SUMMER EQUIPMENT CONSIGNMENT

Putin’s signature conference plots ways to deal with sanctions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. PETERBSURG, Russia — Sanctions. It’s a word that’s rarely heard among the Russian politicians, business leaders and foreign dignitaries gathered for President Vladimir Putin’s signature economic conference. Even as Canada and its allies seek to increase their measures against Russia to retaliate over its involvement in Ukraine, there’s little suggestion of compromise on the key issue contributing to the country’s economic pain and an aversion to even mentioning the word ’sanctions’. In fact, the fighting in Ukraine was referenced only in passing and often in fuzzy terms at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. The annexation of Crimea, which started an escalating wave of international sanctions and travel bans against Putin’s government, wasn’t mentioned at the event’s showcase panel discussions, including one with former British prime minister Tony Blair. “We will have to bear with the limitations, even if we consider them politically motivated,” said Alexy Kudrin, a former finance minister who is now dean of the faculty of liberal arts at St. Petersburg State University. Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke Friday by phone with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to assure him that Canada and its G7 allies would not let up. On Friday, the two leaders agreed that the sanctions were more appropriate than ever, especially given recent violence in Ukraine, said a statement from Harper’s office. But the Russians don’t even like to use the word sanctions. Vladimir Yakunin, head of the country’s railways and a Putin confidante, referred to them as “illegal restrictions” in an interview with international news agency heads and insisted that only the United Nations has the legitimate power to level true sanctions. Others more politely refer to them as “punishments.” The Harper government has said trade sanctions are “putting real pressure” on Russia and that is evident in the numbers floating around the

gathering of international business leaders, which is modeled on the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The combination of sanctions and the collapse of oil prices mean that the Russian economy is expected to contract by about three per cent this year. There has been a 13 per cent decline in real incomes, officials acknowledged at the conference and inflation was running at a 15.8-per-cent pace last month. The country revised its budget in April, but experts at the New Economic School in Moscow recently warned the pace of defence spending — a combination of the war in Ukraine and Putin’s ambitious military modernization agenda — is unsustainable in this era of low oil prices. Officials talked up more co-operation with Asia and a burgeoning relationship with China, leaving Kudrin wondering aloud in a panel discussion what was to become of two decades of bridge-building and co-operation with the West. “What do we hope to achieve by pivoting to Asia? I’ve got apprehensions,” he said. It was left to Igor Shuvalov, the Russian deputy prime minister, to put the best face on the simmering crisis and to reassure the largely business audience. He underlined the government’s recent road map to economic stability and noted that the country’s indicators are better than the dire forecasts laid out last fall. Both in the conference rooms and on the gleaming trade show floor, there was a strained business-as-usual air. Russian officials feverishly oversaw the signing ceremonies of 12 trade or business deals — everything from electricity to barley — before lunch on Thursday with an additional with 23 more inked in the afternoon. There was also a sense of expectation that there would be further “punishments.” A European Union summit — slated for Brussels on June 25-26 — is expected to see the sanctions extended until early 2016. Plus, on Friday, the Russian news agency TASS reported that the EU has extended a ban on the import of products from Crimea and Sevastopol until 2016.

New life for middle-aged decks I get more reader emails about finishing old decks than any other outdoor home improvement topic, and the different questions usually end up in the same place. “How do I make an old deck look decent without going to a lot of trouble?” Aging decks are like aging people. Some of us don’t look as pretty on the surface as we once did, though we still might have lots of strength and vitality. So how do you give an old deck a facelift when the wood STEVE looks like grey, MAXWELL weathered barnboard? That’s the big challenge with older decks everywhere, and the solution goes beyond just sanding back to bare wood. There comes a point in the second half of the life of any wooden deck when weathering causes surface cracks and fissures that are simply too deep to be sanded out. You can try sanding but ugly, grey gaps remain. This is also the situation where ordinary deck finishes can’t deliver the classy good looks they used to. Surface texture of the wood is the trouble. Ordinary deck finishing liquids are simply too thin to span gaps, fissures and cracks that have developed on a surface that’s still structurally sound. Just as a 65 year old needs to manage their appearance differently that a 22 year old, so it is with decks. Helping middle-aged decks live out the second half of their lives in grandeur and dignity is where something called elastomeric coatings can help. Thick, flexible, waterproof, opaque and tough. That’s what the best elastomerics are all about. I first ran into elastomerics meant for extending the life of old, asphalt roof shingles in 2004, and the nearly-dead shingles we coated back then using elastomerics are still working perfectly today. Time has stood still for these shingles in quite a striking way. And while it’s too early for me to tell if elastomerics work as well on wood, I’m doing my best to find out. Duckback’s Superdeck elastomeric coating for decks and docks, is the latest and highest profile product of it’s kind in Canada, and it sets out to solve the aging deck problem. Roll on one, two or three coats — as many as needed to hide the ravages of time — then that’s it. The pudding-like consistency means it fills cracks and gaps well. The product is also nearly odorless, it’s water-

The best elastomerics are thick enough to fill gaps, cracks and they lock down splinters. proof and it can stretch nearly double its size without cracking. That’s important because wood does expand and contract a lot over the course of a year. One of the compromises you’ll need to make with elastomeric deck coatings is that they’re opaque like paint. You can’t see woodgrain through them. And while that’s a drawback for some wood lovers, the benefits seem more than worthwhile to me when most of the grain is obscured by weathering anyway. So how long will Duckback’s elastomeric last? That’s the big question and I’m finding that out right now after adding samples to my deck finish testing program. For what it’s worth, Duckback offers what they call a limited lifetime warranty. What does this mean? The can doesn’t offer details, but Duckback did when I called them. They’ll refund your money if the product fails no matter how old it is, as long as you have original sales receipts and it was applied correctly.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Canada is in store for a seniors’ retirement home construction boom to accommodate a surge in the number of aging baby boomers, and those building the facilities say they’ll include all the boomer-friendly comforts and conveniences of home. Luc Maurice, a Quebec developer who’s spending $1 billion on new projects, is looking to double the number of units he operates in Quebec. And he expects at least $3 billion a year will need to be spent across the country to build and upgrade retirement facilities. “It’s not about waiting to die,” he said when describing what seniors are looking for in today’s retirement homes. Future seniors are expected to be wealthier, to live longer, healthier lives and to increasingly value their freedom and autonomy. Many will seek companionship because they have fewer children than current-day seniors, or no children at all. While not all will seek extreme luxury, seniors want quality condo-style amenities including modern kitchens and an array of optional services that allow them to live independently, said Maurice, who plans to add 17 buildings with more than 5,500 units in Montreal, Gatineau and Quebec City over the next few years. They expect Wi-Fi that eases communication with loved ones, common areas with recreational services like pools and gyms, access to gardens and lifelong learning. Many seek urban settings and want to be close to liquor stores, cafes and shopping. Most importantly, they want choice — about meals, activities and levels of care, says Thomas Wellner, CEO of global “senior living communities” operator Revera, which sees a doubling of its Canadian units in the next five years. “I think there are opportunities for much more relevant offerings to meet the needs of seniors that are coming,” he said in an interview. Quebec is Canada’s leader in retirement housing, accounting for about half of 2,794 residences with 224,342 rental units available for seniors 75 years and older, says a 2015 report from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. released Wednesday. About 18.5 per cent of Quebec seniors live in 1,300 retirement homes, well in excess of the nine per cent Canadian average and five per cent in Ontario. Nova Scotia had the lowest rate at just 1.9 per cent. Average monthly rents for bachelor units and private rooms with at least one meal were lowest in Quebec at $1,521 and highest in Ontario at $2,815, said the CMHC. Prices increase dramatically depending on services provided. Units offering heavy care services averaged $3,520 in 2015, ranging between $2,881 in Quebec and $6,011 in B.C. Ontario’s retirement rental numbers are smaller because residents prefer home ownership and the province’s roots is in more costly assisted living.

Garden gathering spots The change of seasons often gives us the impetus to switch up our rooms in order to capitalize on what’s new and fresh. The same holds true for gardens and outdoor rooms. T h e r e are plenty of ideas to make the most of your space and even a small adjustment to the arrangement of furniture or addition to the landscape will bring exciting rewards. Begin DEBBIE with seating TRAVIS and how you look forward to spending time outside. If you enjoy entertaining, even on a small scale, then think about the table and chairs that will work best for the size of your garden. You want comfort, but also the ability to gather around a table together. Café or bistro chairs are one good choice. Shown here from Grange, www. grangeny.com, is their Café Collection which offers a side and armchair and a round table with glass top. The design of the chairs and the shape of the table both work in your favour. These are made with weather resistant synthetic fibers on rattan frames in a beautiful neutral cappucchino. Divide the yard with boundaries that highlight an eating area, planted gardens, a walkway, and a play area for kids and adults. Boundaries do not have to be high or wide; a low row of flowers or bushes, large stones or railway ties work beautifully to delineate space. For a more distinct boundary, set up a pergola over the sitting and eat-

ing area. An archway is captivating in a garden with climbing roses and ivy decorating its shape. Create levels; you only need one step to lead to a new spot such as a fountain or a game. Outdoor ‘flooring’ can blend with grass and groundcover, and adds another dimension. Use a deck or patio stones to mark off seating space. Outdoor carpets come in brilliant shades and patterns and even a small carpet will brighten up the grounds. If you already have a deck and railings, refresh them with exterior stain or paint. Consider white or red or black as a contrast colour that will demarcate any area. The backyard room should blend with the exterior of your home. This is easy to do with painted details on shutters and window frames. Repeating brick or stone will connect the area. And if you are thinking of adding a shade feature, a roof attached to the exterior will create a porch-like design so you can enjoy outside living rain or shine. For larger plans that include an outdoor kitchen, I have seen an island built just as you would have inside. It makes sense, and serves the same purpose — lots of space for storage, a work counter and a place to eat. Match up the island’s facade with stone, brick or wood that is elsewhere in your design. Rustic or high style bar stools finish off the look. If space allows, have a quiet area for solitary lounging. There’s a wide variety of lounges in all styles in rattan, teak, painted wood, synthetic fibers and metals from which to choose, and it’s worth the splurge to treat yourself to some weekend R and R. Situate your personal space away from the house so that you are not distracted. This is summer bliss. Debbie Travis’s House to Home column is produced by Debbie Travis and Barbara Dingle.

Removing clutter in a small space

CREATIVE SPACE

Measuring four metres (about 13 feet) wide by 11 metres (about 36 feet) long, this space is almost three times as long as it is wide. As such, it is a good idea to visually cut the room’s length by placing at least some furniture, such as the low sofa, with its back to the dining room. You can also do this by interrupting the visual flow of the space. Since the floor is the longest expanse here, small, washable area rugs can do the trick rather easily. A seasonal or occasional home should be lively because after all, you are here to have fun! In a home that is in a predominantly warm climate, you can use cooling effects to counteract the temperature. Colours should be in the cool range — icy blues, winter greens and crisp whites will keep things feeling comfortable in a hot environment. Because this house is in Mexico, you might like to model the place on traditional flavour. A mix of some traditional furnishing and patterns with more modern designs will create a comfortable, eclectic room. Native rugs and blankets often have colour that are inspired by the desert and should work well in your rattan and terra cotta living room. It’s a good idea to pare things back as much as possible. A small space can feel claustrophobic unless you discipline yourself to contain clutter and keep furnishings to a minimum. As much as possible, try to avoid too many tables, book shelves and accessories that serve no useful purpose in favour of multi-purpose furnishing. Rustic-looking wood furniture would be ideal in this space, and a weather-worn finish would be completely appropriate. One of the best things about rattan and wicker furniture is that it is light-looking and smaller scale than traditional upholstered pieces. Overly-bold patterning on these pieces will reverse that effect, so it may be a good idea to use a simpler pattern here, such as a subtle geometric print or a classic floral. Draperies in your condo will mostly serve to block out the harsh sun during the brightest time of day and, perhaps provide privacy at night.

A small space can feel claustrophobic unless clutter is contained and furniture is kept to a minimum. Particularly in a southern climate, the sun will fade any bright (or dark) pattern and colour surprisingly quickly. If you want to use pattern, you would be wise not to use anything too flashy.

Question: Although our issue is outside your geographic realm, we nevertheless hope you can impart your sage advice to this decorating-challenged couple. For the past five years, my husband and I have spent the winter months in our Mexican condo. It is a small, one-bedroom unit that has terra cotta tile floors and champagnecoloured walls that have not been touched for at least as long as we have been here. The unpatterned (and tattered), lined draperies hang DAVID from particularly nice wooden FERGUSON rods. We try to keep fabrics and upholstered pieces to a minimum because that texture seems to attract desert dust. There is, however, a need to contrast the hard surface of tile and concrete construction with something softer. The plan is to replace all the seating pieces, possibly with wicker. It will be important to make a comfortable area for four or five people, most frequently for conversation or watching television. Other important pieces include: a desk to house the computer, and a games table in the room where we eat on occasion and enjoy the courtyard view. I don’t have any carpets or rugs here, but I might consider incorporating a pattern in the drapery fabric if you think that might work. A workable furniture plan would be most welcome, as would any colour suggestions you might have. Answer: Whether in the desert of sunny Mexico, or in the wilds of the Canadian downtown core, a balance of soft colours and textures will make the room feel more attractive and cosy. Visually, your condominium is one, long room, stretching from the small, open kitchen, through the dining area and on to the living room area.

Any suggestions? — Working Dear Working: You should find lots of broke and motivated friends who understand what it means to live on a budget. Then you will always have options when your high-rolling friends are buying first-row seats to The Grateful Dead. The next thing you need to do is speak up when your friends are breaking your bank. Most of them have no idea that you’re feeling this pressure to keep up with them. Let them know you can’t participate because it’s out of your budget. Make a suggestion to do something else and invite anyone else who is interested to join you. The last thing you need to do is accept that you have less money at this point in your life. It’s temporary. It’s part of your story. Let this be something that motivates you to surround yourself with like-minded, passionate people who can have fun regardless of what you’re doing. There always will be people who have more and those who have less. What matters most is that you appreciate what you have and surround yourself with people who fill you up with happiness. Relationships, experiences and memories don’t cost money. Some of the richest experiences can happen during the poorest times. Dear Harlan: I am a second-semester college student. I had to take a semester off for personal reasons. I’m returning to my school in the

fall, and am very excited but also hesitant. The main reason is that I will be housed with an incoming freshman and will be housed in an all-freshman dorm. Since I have been on campus for a semester, I kind of already have my place at school. I have my group of friends, I know my way around and I feel like I already belong. Most freshmen enter not knowing any of that. I am worried because I do not want my roommate to feel left out of anything I do. I remember when I was a new freshman, I was scared and lost, but I found people who helped me find my place. I plan on helping my new roommate do the same, but like I said, I already have my circle of friends. What can I do to help her not feel left out, and still have time for me? — Not Left Out Dear Not Left Out: You’re too sweet. I mean it. Stop assuming she wants to hang out with you. She might want nothing to do with you. Not everyone wants to be included. And if this is your situation, it would be perfectly appropriate to respect her space. Your experiences are not everyone else’s experiences. While you have the best intentions, you have got to CHILL OUT. Approach this relationship from a place of kindness, compassion and respect. Be sweet, but allow her to have her own plans. Respect her boundaries if she’s not interested. Find your own people, places and patience. Feel free to invite her, but don’t expect her to do anything more than share space with you. Write Harlan at harlan@helpmeharlan.com or visit online: www.helpmeharlan.com.

First he surprised a young fan in Edmonton by interrupting a shopping trip to West Edmonton Mall to join her onstage while she was singing one of his songs. And now he’s helped a Saskatoon couple facing a difficult time find some joy by helping them to become engaged. Pablo Benitez tells radio station CKOM his girlfriend, Tanya Prochshyn, is battling brain cancer and was recovering Wednesday after having surgery to remove a portion of a tumour.

Benitez told his story to Sheeran at a private function, and the singer promised to sing Prochshyn’s favourite song, Thinking Out Loud, at his concert in the city on Tuesday. When the song began, Benitez got down on one knee and asked Prochshyn to be his wife, and to the thrill of the crowd and a smiling Sheeran, she said yes. “He took the time to put me on his list,” said Benitez. “He took care of it all. I just had to show up and keep

to my word, which I did. I can’t explain how awesome it was and I have to thank Ed Sheeran for that.” Hours after the couple’s story got out, people started offering to help the couple with wedding plans. Benitez’s sister Laudita said the support of people in Saskatoon has been amazing. Prochshyn and her family were told of her diagnosis three weeks ago, despite the fact the tumour had been growing for eight years.

JOHNSTON Stewart 1937 - 2015 The family of Stewart Johnston is sad to announce that Stew passed away on Monday, June 15, 2015, after an extended illness. Stew enjoyed a 36 year career with AGT/Telus, successfully representing the corporation in Edmonton, Westlock, St. Albert, Lethbridge, Pincher Creek and Red Deer. In each community, Stew left a legacy of integrity, professionalism and community involvement that ranged from coaching and working with youth to volunteering and engagement in Lions Club to support community needs. He was passionate about his time spent with the Canadian Ski Patrol, playing hockey and baseball. Stew had a love for all things family oriented; especially camping and fishing. He will be fondly remembered for his calm manner, humility and generosity. For Stew, there was always something to laugh about! Stew will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Gail (McPhee), his sons; Dennis (Lynn), David (Wanda) and Norman (Marie), grandchildren; Chris, Kelsey, Garret, Max, Tiffany, Warren, Megan, and Logan, great grandchildren; Austin, Hadley and Caleb, as well as siblings Merla (Glen), Lynette (Darl), Arthur and Darryl (Deb), along with extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his parents David and Hazel, siblings; Wilfred Johnston, Melvin Johnston and Deanna Lunder. The family would like to acknowledge the support of all devoted healthcare professionals who cared for Stew and all the family and friends that visited him during his stays at the Ponoka and Lacombe Hospitals. A Celebration of Stew’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Monday, June 22, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. A private interment will take place at the Red Deer Cemetery at a later date.

PECK After a long and full life on Monday June 1, 2015 Albert Peck passed away peacefully in Surrey, BC. Albert is predeceased by his wife Elizabeth(Robinson) and by his parents, George Peck and Pauline(Breuer) of Coaldale, Alberta and his sisters Rose (Lofgren) and Pauline (Woof). He is survived by his brother Dr. Jack Peck. He is also survived by his four sons: Alec (Lorraine) Peck of White Rock, BC; Robin (Meg) Peck of Fredericton, NB; Dennis (Robin) Peck of Sherwood Park, AB; Bill (Kelly) Peck of Santa Clara, California. He leaves grandchildren: Neil, Jason, Matthew, Michael, Monique, Jessica, Robert and Jonathan. And greatgrandchildren: Bradley, Jasmine, Spencer, Lucas, Emily & Chloe. Albert carried the full name of Albert ‘Gustav’ Gabriel Alexander Peck. Albert’s family moved to Vancouver from Hungary in 1911, and he was born on December 14, 1916 in Collingwood. The family moved to Taber in 1917 and then settled in Coaldale in 1924. Albert and his brother Jack farmed land in the Blindman River valley west of Red Deer in the late 1930s. Albert lost his leg in an accident in 1942, but never considered himself disabled. Albert and Elizabeth were married on August 8, 1945 and lived the majority of their 63 years together in the Red Deer area. After living a year in Strathmore, where Albert worked at the CFCN Transmitter, they moved back to Red Deer and purchased 10 acres on North Hill of what is now Mustang Acres in Glendale. The family raised chickens during the 50s and 60s. For many years he and his wife were an emergency foster home that served as a temporary shelter for numerous children. A service that the Province recognized many years later for the special contribution they made. For over 30 years Albert worked as a nurse at the Michener Centre before eventually retiring in 1981 and settling down on the farm west of Red Deer. Albert moved back to the Vancouver area in 2010. On Saturday June 13th, 2015, a family gathering was held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre in South Surrey, BC. Memorial tributes may be forwarded to the family through www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
