Council marks city’s centennial TIME CAPSULE UNEARTHED A2 ALL SET FOR THE CENTENNIAL C1

City of Red Deer city manager Craig Curtis welcomes guests and introduces speakers at a special celebration session of council in council chambers. On Monday the city celebrated the 100th anniversary of being incorporated a city. BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer’s official birthday bash ended with a look to the future. At a special Centennial Meeting of Council, attendees inside Red Deer city council chambers and those watching on the city’s website had a glimpse what shaped the city over the last century.

It was a time for reflection as the attendees including as many as 18 former city councillors listened as various speakers highlighted aspects of the city’s natural and cultural history and the people that shaped Red Deer. Mayor Morris Flewwelling said it is important to retain the values that Red Deer was built upon including environmental stewardship, volunteerism, quality of life, affordable housing,

entrepreneurship and collaboration, knowing the city will grow to about 300,000 in the next 50 or 60 years “We have so much,” said Flewwelling. “So in our future we are looking to continue to be a progressive community.” Former mayor Gail Surkan said the city has come a remarkable distance since it was born on March 25, 1913. She said it is not just the way the city has been physically built.

Exhibit showcases Red Deer’s official, homespun history BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The story of Red Deer’s founder Rev. Leonard Gaetz can be discovered at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery — and so can the tale of Peanut, the Club Cafe’s parrot mascot. There’s a description of local farming advocate Jim Bower and — for those piqued by quirkier folklore — there are photos of actress Olive de Wilton, the common-law life of Boris Karloff, who grew up in Red Deer and is buried in Lacombe. Both the official and homespun local histories of our city can be found in the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery’s new permanent exhibit that displays more local artifacts than ever — from a 6,000-year-old stone bowl created by unknown aboriginals, to early city maps, to Canada’s only existing full uniform for German prisoners who laboured on local farms during the Second World War. The $1.5 million exhibit that’s been five years in the making from conception to construction, is now open at the museum and ready to take visitors on a tour of the city’s earliest days to the present. The museum’s executive-director Lorna Johnson is very excited about Remarkable Red Deer: Stories from the Heart of the Parkland, a 4,800 square-foot exhibit paid for by the municipality, province and ongoing fundraising. The idea was to pull together the stories that make Red Deer unique,

“People really have a way of engaging in the community and doing things together creatively that represents what is most important about our community,” said Surkan, who was the city’s first female mayor from 1992 to 2004. “When we are celebrating 100 years of a city, it’s good to reflect (and celebrate) back on that because it will guide us in the future.” On March 25, 1913, Red Deer was incorporated as a city but local historian Michael Dawe said the history goes back much farther. Dawe said when the archaeological digs were conducted on Piper’s Mountain (Rotary Park) in the early 1980s they found evidence of camp sites going back 4,000 to 5,000 years. Doris Jewell, who served on council from 1971 to 1974, still attends planning and recreation board meetings. Jewell and her family has lived in Red Deer since 1949. “I’m not 100 yet but I am pushing it,” laughed Jewell. “It’s been a most interesting time to live to see it gradually grow. I was in business, too, so I was downtown, too. It was so interesting to see it grow. I think the growth has been handled very well. It’s not easy when the place explodes, which we almost did.” Jewell said the city has done a good job of maintaining the park areas and gradually adding to them. Former alderman Bill Scott served from 1963 to 1965 on council and was active on the city’s 50th anniversary committee. “We’re still here,” laughed Scott. “The city has progressed ... We have to keep our mind on agricultural and a few other things with the environmental and the economics. As long as we keep our dollar not in front of everything else we will be OK.” Visit www.reddeer2013.ca for the upcoming centennial events. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Man jailed one year for dangerous chase BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF

exhibit’s streetscape visuals, including a focal wall-sized photo of the old train station, as well as storefronts depicting the old Capitol Theatre, the Club Cafe, and W.E. Lord Co. department store, which was later taken over by Eatons. (The storefronts were constructed in Quebec and shipped here).

The sudden rise from poverty in Nova Scotia to a well-paid job in Alberta has been blamed for the drug addiction that cost a young man his freedom and his driving privileges on Monday. Neil Robert MacDonald, 27, was jailed for one year, to be followed by 30 months of probation, and had his driving licence suspended for six years after pleading guilty to charges arising from a dangerous pursuit from Lacombe Police on Thursday. Court heard that MacDonald raised suspicions of Sgt. Rick Kohut, who noticed a vehicle driving with its headlights turned off at about 3:30 a.m. near Lacombe’s aquatic centre. Rather than pulling over when Kohut activated his lights, MacDonald pulled away, beginning a pursuit during which the vehicle he was driving — reported stolen later in the day — hit speeds of up to 90 km/h within city limits. MacDonald pulled into a parking lot at one point, then slammed the car into reverse as Kohut’s vehicle approached and sped off again, jumping parking curbs and sidewalks on its way back to the street.

Time capsule unearthed BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Before the ceremony that unearthed artifacts from Red Deer’s history in a time capsule, a treasure hunt had to take place. Buried in 1963, the time capsule marking the city’s golden anniversary was moved in 1997 after the city undertook some renovations that covered the old signage. The installation of the wheelchair ramp covered the original location of the time capsule, so it was moved. At first they didn’t know where it had been relocated to. But with some sleuthing, and the assistance of local historian Michael Dawe, they tracked it down. Mayor Morris Flewwelling said the hunt to find the time capsule was as interesting as opening up the 50-year-old container. “The hunt to find it was quite interesting,” said Flewwelling. “The official records showed it was located in the corner of City Hall ... at some point when they did the renovations and pushed the floors upward, they created a matching plaque. They put one in the west and one in the east. “When they put the ramp in, it covered the plaque. You wouldn’t have the plaque behind the ramp because nobody could see it. So they moved it and when they moved the plaque, they found the capsule and they brought it out. Then it was not clear where they put it — we were pretty sure it was behind one of the plaques, but we didn’t know which one. So we did a bit of X-ray work and figured out it was the west one.” More than 100 people gathered in City Hall Park on Monday as the new time capsule, marking the city’s centennial, was lowered by a crane into a twometre-deep hole on the northern side of the park. It will be cemented over and marked with a plaque so the future unearthing won’t involve a hunt to find it. After the new time capsule was put into the ground, the ceremony was moved indoors to the library, where the mayor opened the old capsule. Included in the 1963 time capsule was a letter from the mayor at the time, Ernest Newman; a piece of microfilm of the March 25, 1963, Red Deer Advocate;

STORIES FROM A1

EXHIBIT: Plenty to hear, too Audio exhibits were created by Washington, D.C. sound engineers — including a haunting one of a young girl singing at a local school run by the Daughters of Wisdom order of French nuns. “It was taken from a wax recording” said Johnson, in the earliest part of the last century. Visitors can also gather around a 1940s radio and heard Second World War propaganda that called the raid on German-occupied Dieppe a great success even though it was largely a failure. Johnson said 29 Red Deer soldiers were among those captured by the Germans. Uniforms, gas masks and medals from the Boer War to the Cold War are also displayed, as is equipment used by Canadian peacekeepers. Personal histories are often used to give these wider events a Red Deer focus. This includes the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918. A photograph of Ella Parsons, the young wife of Dr. Richard Parsons, accompanies a description of how worried she was that her husband or sons would catch the deadly flu bug. But it was Ella who died of it at age 36. Her black and ecru lace dress is one of the costumes exhibited in a glass case that Johnson said can be changed periodically for new displays of clothing throughout the decades. There are other sad stories in the exhibit, including one of Red Deer’s tragic Indian residential school, run by the Methodist church. It was closed by 1919, in part for having the highest mortality rate of all such schools in Canada. Johnson said “harsh” conditions led to deaths from typhus, small pox and influenza. The controversial history of Michener Centre and its eugenics program is also told. But lighter aspects of Red Deer’s history are displayed as well — including the stuffed green-feathered carcass of Peanut the Parrot, looking moulted and worn while perched in a glass case.

Jillian Staniec, left, and Brianne Stone, right, of the Red Deer Archives help the City of Red Deer’s Char Rausch set out items from a 1963 time capsule after Mayor Morris Flewwelling opened it Monday. Please see related video at www.reddeeradvocate.com. a golden jubilee certificate (they were handed out to residents who lived in Red Deer from 1913 to 1963) and a copy of the city’s contract for the construction of the new City Hall, which cost $789,148 to build in 1963. “We had no indication of what was in it at all,” said Flewwelling. “The certificate from the 50th an-

niversary to me was quite significant. I don’t know, I wasn’t sufficiently aware of Red Deer in those days that I know anybody who has one of those certificates and I don’t know if we have any of them in the archives.”

There are old toys, vaudeville photos, and a display of local theatre costumes. And young visitors can play with jigsaw puzzles and board games that features local entrepreneurs and political leaders within the Club Cafe storefront. The local restaurant, opened by Chinese immigrants George Moon and Charlie Chuck, became a city institution. There are also puppets beneath the Castle School front, depicting Peanuts, Mickey the Beaver, Red Deer author and environmentalist Kerry Wood’s MacOwl character, and Rosalind, the real-life cow that yielded the most milk in Canada early in the 1900s. A small movie theatre runs short films under the Capitol Theatre sign. Johnson said the space with century-old seats from Innisfail, can be used as a teaching resource during school field trips. On Monday, it was showing a cartoon lumberjack spinning his heels to The Log Driver Song — a nod to past logging activities on what’s now Bower Ponds. The last audiovisual display tells the sometimes emotional emigration stories of the most recent Red Deer residents. Area resident Lisa Clark visited the museum’s new permanent exhibit on Monday and “loved it.” “It was a bit of a nostalgia trip . . . I really enjoyed sitting down and listening to the old radio. It was like being transported back into the past,” said Clark, who feels the displays provides a good overview of local history. Johnson maintains, “I’m very happy with it. There are more artifacts on display than ever, and they are in a historical context. And there are 400 photographs from our archives . . . “They all tell the story of ways that Red Deer is unique, and are not just referencing (how we are not) Calgary or Edmonton.” The official opening for the permanent exhibit is on Sunday, April 14, with music, poetry readings, arts and crafts and celebratory cake. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

ity box, Crown prosecutor Jillian Brown said while reading the facts for Judge Jim Mitchell in Red Deer provincial court. MacDonald was still trying vainly to back away when Kohut asked him to roll down his window. An altercation ensued, with Kohut chasing MacDonald through the front seat of the car, across the lap of a woman who had been riding in the passenger seat. A second officer arrived at the scene to help subdue the man, who did not flinch when he was hit with a stun gun, said Brown. After blowing zero on the intoxilator (which measures alcohol), MacDonald admitted to police that he had done “10 points of heroin and a ----load of coke,” said Brown. Rather than give them his own name, he gave them that of his brother, John A. MacDonald. MacDonald told Mitchell that drugs have taken over his life since his move to Alberta, where he has worked as an apprentice pipefitter on two highprofile job sites. “I was out of my head. I’m very, very sorry. That’s not me at all,” he said, admitting to Mitchell that he takes heroin by injection. Duty counsel Murray Shack said is client a normally quiet man who “goes out of his skull” when he’s high. “This young man has gone from a life of poverty in Nova Scotia to making above-average money in Alberta and, as a result, has developed a drug problem,” said Shack. He and Brown negotiated guilty pleas on charges including evading police, assaulting a police officer, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, obstructing police, possession of a dangerous weapon for the folding knife in his pocket, possession of stolen property and breaching probation. Mitchell said the early guilty plea saved MacDonald from a much longer sentence in a federal penitentiary. He ordered MacDonald to abstain from all drugs and alcohol and to seek treatment for his addiction during his jail term and following his release. The driving prohibition kicks in at the expiry of his current suspension, a period of five years ordered in Fort McMurray provincial court on Dec. 10. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Driver says person he hit in crash saved his life BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — One of the first drivers involved in a massive chain-reaction crash during a snowstorm on Alberta’s main highway is crediting the person he hit with saving his life. Last Thursday, truck driver Rob Patenaude was driving along Highway 2 near Wetaskiwin when he changed lanes to avoid a vehicle that had lost control, but a semi was stopped right in front of him. Patenaude says he knew he was going to hit it and his left leg shattered, then a pickup slammed into him and broke his right leg. He says the bone was sticking right out of his leg and the pain and bleeding were too much. Patenaude says the driver he hit — a man named Tim — stayed

by Ernst and Young. Harper says he looks forward to working with the new senator. “His strong business background and deep knowledge of Alberta are sure to benefit the Senate,” Harper said. Tannas, 51, is from High River, his father was a member of the provincial legislature and a former deputy speaker.

with him for more than an hour until help came, putting pressure on his wound, slowing the bleeding and keeping him conscious. He says that day continues to haunt him — the pileup involved around 100 vehicles. “I hear and I still hear every crash that happened behind me, every single one, everyone’s horns, everyone’s yelling, screaming for help.” Patenaude says without Tim’s help, he would have died, leaving a wife and kids behind. He said he’s been in touch with Tim and he expects him to visit him in the University of Alberta hospital soon.

Curtis Justin Mills was put in the cell when he showed up drunk for an annual sex offender interview at the Blood Tribe police station in May 2011. When he later stood up to get a meal tray, the 48-year-old fell backwards and hit his head on a concrete floor. Medical staff examined Mills and, although he vomited, they believed he was going through alcohol withdrawal and decided he didn’t need to go to a hospital. Workers checked on Mills throughout the night and he was found dead early the next morning.

STORY FROM A2

CAPSULE: Stuff added to it Added to the capsule when it was relocated in 1997 were a number of Red Deer pins, keychains, the city’s 1996 strategic plan, a copy of the Red Deer Advocate on a disk, a letter and picture from Red Deer’s first female mayor, Gail Surkan, and a loonie, penny and toonie, which were still new at the time. Like his predecessors Flewwelling wrote a letter for the 2013 time capsule. His six-page letter was written to Red Deerians in 2063. “I framed what Red Deer is all about for the last 100 years, speaking about our values, goals, environmental concerns, care for the community and diversity,” said Flewwelling. “I hoped it would give them a framework to understand Red Deer in 2063 and that those values are enduring values.” There is roughly three times as many items going into the 2013 time capsule, about 60 kg of material was added. Though Flewwelling was not specific on the contents of the new time capsule, saying it was for those who opened it to discover, he did say there were photos, letters, publications, newspapers, some money, student art and numerous other items. Some items the Advocate submitted for the 2013 time capsule included a copy of the 100th anniver-

The Town of Innisfail has taken the plunge on a pool overhaul project. Council recently approved spending $36,000 for engineering services connected with the proposed $450,000 retrofit of circulation and filtration systems for the pool and whirlpool. Construction is expected to take place this summer with a tentative shutdown date of July 1. The work will take about two months to complete. Closing the pool will leave the local Innisfail Dolphins Swim Club looking for another place to train. To offset the cost of renting other pool times, town council agreed to provide a one-time grant of $4,000. The grant will only be given if the club’s schedule is affected.

HEARTLAND TRANSMISSION LINE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — A judge has ruled against an attempt to stall a controversial high-voltage power line northeast of Edmonton. The Heartland Transmission line was granted final approval by Jeff Johnson, who was Alberta’s infrastructure minister at the time, in November 2011. The Alberta Utilities Commission had already approved construction of the line earlier that month, but it still needed official consent from the government. The group Responsible Electricity Transmission for Albertans, or RETA, went to court to apply for a judicial review of Johnson’s decision. RETA argued that Johnson was wrong to give power companies the go-ahead to begin building. The group also argued the minister had failed to give reasons for his decision to declare the Heartland line “critical” to Alberta’s power needs and “deferred entirely to reasons given by the Alberta Utilities Commission for approving construction.” Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Darlene Acton dismissed RETA’s application. “It is important to review the entire record of proceedings in this matter to determine first whether reasons are required and second whether the record discloses any reasons,” she said in her written decision. Acton concluded that while the minister had no obligation to explain his decision, she was also satisfied “that the minister can be found to have given reasons as found in the record filed.” The judge also ruled consent was properly delegated in law. RETA acknowledged on its website that it is running out of options in its fight against the Heartland line. A challenge in front of the Alberta Court of Appeal was also unsuccessful. “As residents ... are aware, AltaLink, SNC-Lavalin and EPCOR have been busy building the Heartland towers and we are running out of options to stop this unnecessary power line,” the group said. “It’s clear that the line will be completed.” RETA goes on to say that future class-action lawsuits may be possible “based on a number of negative impacts of the line, including property devaluation and health.” The 500-kilovolt Heartland line is to run through Strathcona County around Edmonton’s eastern outskirts to service heavy industry and other users to the northeast. Linda Osinchuk, the mayor of Strathcona, and other area politicians have said it’s not proven that the extra power is needed and they worry about the line running near homes and a school. At the time of its ruling, the Alberta Utilities Commission said its decision-making was affected by changes the government had made to electricity rules.

sary book the paper produced, a copy of the special publication Report on Central Alberta, recent editions of the paper and a copy of a lecture given by online editor Leo Pare on the current state of the newspaper industry. “This was one of the reasons I chose to run for this term,” said Flewwelling. “I thought there is no better way to cap off a career of 21 years in public life than to be the mayor of the city for the centennial. I found that very exciting, and I’m finding it very moving.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer’s next 100 years Red Deer is at a crossroads as it celebrates its 100th year as a city. Where we go from here, after 100 years of remarkable progress, depends largely on the quality of our leadership. The foundation for the first 100 years of this city was established by a dedicated, progressive group of civicminded people, led by Francis W. Galbraith. Red Deer has always been a proud community, for good reason. It is a great place to raise a family, and a superior place to live and do business. And it has always had people like Galbraith, who wanted more for the community and wanted it for the right reasons: to enrich the lives of those who live here now and those who will live here in the future. Over the ensuing years since March 25, 1913, Red Deer’s various city councils mostly got it right, keeping in mind Galbraith’s “peace, welfare and pros-

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART perity” mantra as they guided this city’s growth. There have been missteps, and controversies. Hindsight can show us, clearly, that a dysfunctional council leaves lasting scars. And a council more concerned with counting today’s dollars than ensuring long-term quality of life can be equally damaging to progress. No random gathering of voters (and those who pretend to vote, but are just complainers or sheep) will offer you unanimity on the best course for this city over the next four years, let alone the next century. But that’s part of the healthy process of community building. We’re not looking for a cookie cutter city. We want a city with character, vitality, imagination, diversity and am-

bition. And we want a city that works toward peace, welfare and prosperity for every citizen, always. That means we will have disagreements. It means we have groups like Red Deer First stepping forward with confidence that they have a better way (you don’t have to agree with them to see the value they bring to the public discourse about community building). It means we have a fluid, informed debate about the value of a ward system for city council, and a plebiscite that similarly informs and guides the next council. It means that when we have concerns about crime rates; when we have issues with the relative livability of our city; when we face a suicide crisis among our teenage population; when we debate the merits of fluoride in our water, we do it all in a way that brings resolution and greater public good. But how do we go about gaining and maintaining that kind of balance?

Certainly, the Red Deerians of today can’t chart the course for the city for the next 100 years. But we can play our part in the moment, just as Galbraith did a century ago. We can embrace two key notions: Red Deer is a tremendous community, with immeasurable potential; and no community, ours included, runs itself — progress requires commitment, planning and daring. And if you aren’t willing to play a role in the conversation about our future, either as a player or a supporter, then you have already cast a vote for disaster. If we want another century of peace, welfare and prosperity, we need all hands on deck — as volunteers, supporters and voters. Anything less could well condemn Red Deer to a future that is far less remarkable than our first 100 years. John Stewart is the Advocate’s managing editor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Pipeline leak complications should not be under-played I just wanted to say a few words about an article I saw in the Advocate on March 15 entitled Pipeline break not so bad: speaker. Though I am happy to see there is still discussion of the Red Deer River oil spill in the media, I was a bit disturbed that the tone of the article would lead readers toward the impression that everything is just fine. Let us not forget that there is still contamination of soil, sand and gravel along the part of river above the Dickson Dam and that people have been put out of their homes by this incident and their lands contaminated. Perhaps we have “dodged a bullet” on this one (no thanks to Plains Midstream and the ERCB), but let us at least learn the hard won lessons. We do need experts like Prof. Rood monitoring the effects of the spill on our river. I am glad to hear that the news is “not so bad.” I was also glad to read that Plains Midstream is planning on directionally drilling its pipelines under this section of the Red Deer River (a year too late, however). My point is that our government needs to make this practice mandatory on all stream crossings. We must either bring any older pipelines up to this current standard or decommission and remove them. I grew up in an ‘oilfield family’ and my impression is that companies want to do their best to protect our environment. Many of them take great pride in doing just that! It is up to our provincial government to create and enforce the highest environmental standards and make sure there is a level playing field for the entire energy industry.

Are Canadians less loyal to their universities? Watching March Madness over the weekend, a Canadian viewer of the NCAA men’s basketball championship simply can’t miss the cultural difference between our two nations, in how we relate to our colleges and universities. One can’t help but wonder: why are Americans so much more devoted to their universities than we are? What’s the source of this fanatical fandom — the almost religious zeal — that alumni in the U.S. seem to have for their alma mater? It’s an order of magnitude so much higher than the Canadian experience; surely someone must have studied GREG the phenomenon to try to exNEIMAN plain it. Here’s a story I picked up at a social gathering over the weekend. A friend, just returned from their regular winter vacation in Arizona, told of a golf date he had at their resort. Members arrive at the clubhouse and are mixed for tee times with the other members, to go out as random foursomes. My friend was wearing a hat with a large letter M and a golf mate asked if it meant my friend was from Michigan, or was a graduate of the state university. Why? Because the companion was from Ohio. He owed his loyalty to Ohio State — and there was no way he was ever going to even share a tee box with anyone connected to the University of Michigan. These are gents of retirement age at a winter re-

sort, not hot-blooded young university students who found themselves in the wrong pub. We don’t get that kind of loyalty in Canada. We don’t pay for it, either. The alumni associations of Canadian universities and colleges must look across the border with envy at the captive crowds of graduates who can be relied upon for regular financial support. There are quiet corners on some U.S. campuses, well-treed (or ivy-covered, depending on climate) with well-appointed chapels so that alumni (or their children) can be married under the university logo. Lord knows what might happen in a mixed marriage, should a lass from Georgetown meet a lad from Gonzaga. Under whose colours would the children be christened? In our family, between parents and children, we have collectively paid tuition and fees for 25 years of post-secondary education (not counting the academic enslavement of one as a sessional instructor working on a doctorate). Those years were spent at seven different institutions. The alumni association letters arrive quite regularly, asking for our grateful support. Where should our loyalties lie? Cost of education doesn’t seem to explain the differences in alumni loyalty. American students pay a lot more out of pocket for their educations, but student debt per graduate is similar between our two countries. Just the same, there is a trillion-dollar U.S. student loan bill outstanding, and millions of students are in default. You can’t use private-versus-public support of tuition costs to explain why U.S. grads are so much more fanatically loyal than Canadian grads. I’m going to suggest the differences are part of

cultural history. America gained nationhood with a violent revolution against Britain, but retained part of its class system. America saw itself as just as good as Britain and to prove it, built ivy-league schools that are just as class-based, and resemble the exclusivity of Oxford and Cambridge. A working-class student who qualifies can enter both, but on acceptance takes on a different (higher) status. In equal-opportunity U.S., status is determined in part by where one gets one’s professional credentials. Thus, it is important for alumni to promote the status of their alma mater. In Canada, we retained the British tradition in legal and public institutions, but rejected the rigid class system. We try to rank our universities (Macleans magazine makes an heroic effort every year to do just that), but a degree is more of a degree here, regardless of the appended “from the U of ....” Instead of ranking class size, or the happiness of second-year students, perhaps Macleans should try to rank the per-graduate donations and loyalty of alumni. Which schools do best in retaining loyalty of their grads? Which schools have more grads showing up to cheer at sports events years later and which can count on cash gifts or large endowments? Not quite at the level of U.S. schools, I would imagine. But reviewing that would give a better measurement of our personal connection to the institutions that opened doors for us to achieve our dreams. Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor.

Young First Nations members NDP wants greeted as heroes after trek budget leak investigated 1,600-KM TREK FROM HUDSON BAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wrapped in ceremonial white, hooded jackets, nearly 300 young people arrived Monday on Parliament Hill to cap off a marathon winter trek through the Canadian hinterland inspired by the Idle No More movement. Hundreds more supporters filled the steps beneath the Peace Tower to greet the walkers as they made their way to the Parliament Buildings from nearby Victoria Island on the Ottawa River. Amid the relentless pounding of ceremonial First Nations drummers and the chants and songs of marchers, dozens of speakers pleaded with the Harper government to alleviate the harsh living conditions on some reserves. The group, known as the Nishiyuu Walkers, were celebrated as heroes as they were greeted with cheering and wild applause throughout the afternoon-long demonstration. Their long walk began when David Kawapit Jr., a 17-year-old from the isolated community of Whapmagoostui in northern Quebec, decided to trudge the staggering 1,600 kilometres from the edge of Hudson Bay to Ottawa in support of better conditions for aboriginal people. Kawapit repeatedly flashed his broad smile as he was surrounded by supporters in the march from Victoria Island. Since the coldest days of January, when Kawapit and a halfdozen supporters embarked on their journey with snowshoes on their feet and their supplies in tow, their ranks slowly swelled to several hundred people. Organizers said about 270 walkers in total completed the journey to Ottawa. Green party Leader Elizabeth May jumped and cheered as the group ended their â&#x20AC;&#x153;awe-inspiringâ&#x20AC;? trek. She accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who opted to be in Toronto for the arrival

David Kawapit, who led a group of young aboriginal people on 1,600 kilometre trek on foot from the James Bay Cree community of Whapmagoostui, Que., is greeted by supporters as he and the group celebrate their arrival on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Monday. of two giant pandas on loan from China â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of ignoring the plight of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aboriginal population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says a lot that Stephen Harper isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greeting the pandas,â&#x20AC;? said May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says a lot that we need to move heaven and earth to meet First Nations on a nation-to-nation basis with respect.â&#x20AC;? A Facebook group, called The Journey of Nishiyuu and boasting more than 33,500 members, also derided Harper for attending a panda photo-op instead of greeting the walkers. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt met with some of the young people who completed the trek, and he acknowledged their â&#x20AC;&#x153;determination and commitment,â&#x20AC;? said the ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They met probably just over a half hour in total,â&#x20AC;? Jason MacDonald said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He expressed a desire to engage youth in the key issues facing communi-

ties across the country. He also accepted an invite to their community this summer.â&#x20AC;? During question period in the House of Commons, New Democrat Romeo Saganash said First Nations members need something more concrete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late for broken promises and paternalism,â&#x20AC;? Saganash said. Valcourt said the government wants to help First Nations develop the skills and expertise they need to make the most of their natural resources. The trek to Ottawa was arduous for many of those who took part. When they arrived last week on the First Nation reserve of Kitigan Zibi, about 130 kilometres north of Ottawa, nearly two dozen of the walkers needed treatment for foot injuries. Three members of the group were later sent to hospital in nearby Maniwaki, Que., treated, and released.

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The RCMP should investigate last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal budget leak about tariff reductions because it could have allowed insiders to manipulate markets, the Opposition New Democrats charged Monday. NDP deputy finance critic Guy Caron has written RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson about â&#x20AC;&#x153;potentially criminal actions related to a breach of budget secrecy.â&#x20AC;? The National Post, followed by the Globe and Mail, both reported on the eve of last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget delivery that Finance Minister Jim Flaherty would cut tariffs on hockey gear and some baby clothing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The leak and the availability of this information, prior to it being made public in the budget, gave those with this information an opportunity for personal financial gain,â&#x20AC;? Caron wrote in his letter. Tariffs on a small range of sports equipment and other goods will be eliminated â&#x20AC;&#x153;on or afterâ&#x20AC;? April 1, according to the budget made public at 4 p.m. last Thursday. The newspaper scoops were widely interpreted as tactical leaks by the Harper government to prime the media machine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and television reports on budget day were indeed filled with images of kids in hockey gear. Only later did it become clear that the Conservatives had also increased tariffs on a much wider array of goods, more than offsetting any tariff cuts to a few popular items. Caron couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quantify any financial edge the pre-budget tariff disclosure might have offered a would-be investor, but he said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beside the point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you have to look at is that it changes the behaviour of companies in those industries, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure,â&#x20AC;? Caron said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a no-no. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we treat all information from the budget as confidential.â&#x20AC;? The Conservative government has a reputation for aggressively pursuing leaks, but the pre-budget disclosure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elicit public comment from Flaherty or his officials until the NDP publicized its letter to the RCMP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take budget secrecy very seriously and actively seek to prevent disclosure of budget measures before (their) official release,â&#x20AC;? Dan Miles, Flahertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of communications, said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will let the RCMP respond to this request.â&#x20AC;? Budget leaks were once taken very seriously, Caron noted in his RCMP referral, citing the leak under the Mulroney Conservatives in 1989 that led to the resignation of the finance minister and an RCMP investigation.

ylvan Lake has many attractions that draw people to the town — the lake, the famous Big Moo ice cream, and the party-like atmosphere during the summer months are just a few. Since last fall, there is another lure and that is the new eatery that has opened at the Varsity Mall (6 5004 46th St.), called Angelozzi’s AuMADHU thentic MonBADONI treal Smoked meat. Owned by Michael Angelozzi and Joanne Waldo, a longtime resident of the town, the new deli shop sells a product that is unique, authentic and very much local — the Montreal smoked meat. “It is Alberta beef that is shipped to our supplier in Quebec and they do the smoking, curing as they have perfected over the last 54 years, before it is shipped back to us,” explains Angelozzi. Rightfully so, the Montreal smoked sandwich takes centre stage on their menu offerings. It comes in four sizes, ranging from small four-ounce kid’s size to whopping 10-ounces. It is all about the meat with this sandwich — the deep-burgundy slices of smoky beef are piled high, I mean loaded, in between slices of rye bread. With the fresh smells wafting out, the juices in your mouth are already flowing with anticipation, long before you even take a bite into the thick, meaty, juicy sandwich! Is the sandwich an authentic Eastern Canadian deal? Paired with a fat pickle, crunchy coleslaw and some chips, it really says “Montréal” and made me reminisce on my trip to Quebec. But don’t take my word alone. “There is a massive Quebec migration to these Central Alberta parts, and everyone is a connoisseur, but everyone also agrees that it is the closest they have tasted to home anywhere near these parts,” says Angelozzi. This is Angelozzi’s second successful venture with Montreal smoked meat. “The first being Avenue Deli in Marda Loop in Calgary,” says Angelozzi. Angelozzi co-owned and operated the deli with Michelle Villeneuve but sold it to Villeneuve in 2008 and Villeneuve has not looked back, continuing the successful business. Since my husband had a difficult time finishing the six-ounce sandwich, he asked our young server if anyone orders and finishes the 10-ounce size? He proudly said, “Yes, I did but it was a whole day activity.” Smoked beef is also featured on other items on the menu like the Reuben Steame — a steamed all-beef hot dog, topped with slices of smoked meat, mustard Gouda cheese, Polish sauerkraut, and cucumber pickled relish. Dee-lish is the only way to describe this! Montreal smoked meat isn’t the only thing on the menu. They also have one of my favourite sandwich — bagel and lox — a cream cheese bagel topped with B.C. smoked salmon, sweet red onions, capers and coarsely crushed peppercorns, an open-faced sandwich that screams fresh, light and healthy! For those seeking a vegetarian or traditional comfort sandwich, there is grilled cheese. Not your simple grilled cheese either, but a combination of four cheeses— gouda, Monterey jack, havarti and cheddar — grilled perfectly so that the rye bread is crispy and crunchy with the melted cheese oozing out in between. There are also grilled turkey and tuna sandwiches. Saving the best for last, Angelozzi also offers limited varieties of “old school” milkshakes. The kind of milkshakes that are thick but not too thick that you can’t suck through the straw, the kind that you can’t stop drinking until you feel a brain freeze coming on and the kind where the straw stands at attention in the middle. My personal favourite was the apple pie — with true apple flavour, it was as if they took a whole apple pie, mashed it up and turned it into a creamy, cold concoction. The deli is in a brand new building with an open kitchen concept so the place has a buzz when it is full of people waiting for their food. With tables spaciously arranged, it has dine-in, take-out and catering capabilities. Angelozzi’s Authentic Montreal smoked meat is definitely a place if you want a fast quality meal. Looking at the menu, some may hesitate at the $10 to $13 price for a sandwich, but the quality and quantity of meat surely justifies spending the money and the 20-minute drive out to Sylvan Lake. You can follow Angelozzi’s on Twitter @angelozzis or on Facebook. Madhu Badoni is a Red Deer-based freelance food writer. She can be reached at madhubadoni@gmail.com or on Twitter @madhubadoni.

You gotta eat here When they were growing up my kids loved my mother’s pancakes. No matter how I mixed them, my own always came up a distant second. I finally asked for the recipe and when Mom stopped laughing she said, “For heaven’s sakes. They’re Aunt Jemima!” Even when I used the exact same mix the kids still preferred Grandma’s. When I asked why they said Grandma’s pancakes were made with love. They were half joking, hoping to get a rise out of me, but there was truth to it as well. I love my kids and I made meals for them every day for SHANNON almost twenty years, but MCKINNON my time in the kitchen could never be mistaken for enthusiastic. I hated them eating processed food and they were not fans of my health attacks. I would labour for two hours to create nutritious meals from scratch only to have them grumble. I would bring home a frozen pizza in a box and they would practically throw me a parade. I would swing between grouchy and guilty; no wonder no one could taste the love! We finally came to an agreement on a handful of medium healthy home cooked meals I made over and over. It’s strange how much pleasure I get from vegetable gardening and yet that doesn’t seem to carry through to the kitchen. If I lived alone I would be just like Ruth Stout from a couple columns ago and sell my pots and pans. I’d live on nothing but raw fruit and vegetables. And maybe some honey and toast. Sometimes I watch that restaurant show You Gotta Eat Here that hunts down eatery gems all across Canada. The joy and pride in the chef’s face when host John Catucci bites into a meal she made almost makes me cry. She watches John roll his eyes and swoon over how good it tastes and you can tell that’s all the payment she needs. It is such a beautiful, selfless thing to cook for another person’s pleasure and to take such delight in it. Chefs are such beautiful people. Well, except for that Gordon Ramsay character. He’s just mean. I know several people who love to cook so much they have opened their own restaurants. They’re like aliens to me. I am completely mystified by them, but curious too. They refer to their restaurants as their “dream.”

SLICE OF LIFE

All I can think is how in the world can slaving over a hot stove all day be anyone’s dream? For me dream cooking is making a big pot of chili, knowing there will be leftovers so I won’t have to cook for three days. Clearly I am not beautiful people. My sister-in-law owns the restaurant at the Dawson Creek airport. She amazes me. She works as hard as anyone I know. Cooking has been her lifelong creativity and she has perfected it into an art form. Sometimes I dream about her cinnamon buns. Whenever I eat there it’s all I can do to stop myself from licking the plate when I’m finished; it’s that good. My kids would say there is love stirred into every bite. And I agree. Jewel McKinnon is beautiful people. Last week we went for lunch at The Diamond Willow Retreat. The restaurant is set up in a converted barn on an acreage located a few minutes beyond city limits. The place oozed with the sort of ambience you can’t get by hiring a designer. There were antiques and used books for sale and local musicians that raised the rafters with lunch time song. Karen bustled around taking orders and serving food, all the while making you feel like you were having coffee in her living room. During lulls she picked up a guitar and joined in the playing. Karen McGowan is beautiful people. Heather owns Star Bright Farms in Baytree, Alberta. She has her own general store, restaurant and cooks and caters. Most importantly—to me—she is the creator of Buttery Bites Caramels. With only five real ingredients these caramels are just like Grandma used to make. And of course, they are delicious, melt in your mouth and handmade with love. Heather once told me how she loves to spend evenings reading cookbooks and dreaming up new recipes. It was a revelation that left me speechless with wonder. I could do nothing but stare at her. Heather Porrill is beautiful people. Every community has at least a handful of beautiful people running unique eateries. Seek out the ones near you for an experience that goes far beyond filling your maw bag. How lucky we are to live in a world where we all are passionate about different things. If everyone were like me there would be nothing to eat but three day chili. And that’s not beautiful. Not beautiful at all. Shannon McKinnon is a syndicated humour columnist from Northern BC. You can read past columns by visiting www.shannonmckinnon.com

Chronic illness and self esteem without the level of health once enjoyed, many people still live a rich and full life, albeit a different life than previously lived.

The reconstruction stage is where we finally acknowledge the permanence of our illness. We begin to acknowledge our abilities and limitations. We come to terms with the knowledge that we will no longer be able to live the way you did before the illness. It’s a time to shift awareness away from what we can’t do and toward what we can accomplish. It is a time of forgiveness. Forgiving ourselves and others who may not have been there in the capacity we expected or required. The goal of this stage is to build a new sense of meaning in life and a greater sense of self-awareness. It will likely mean helping others close to us come to a place of acceptance. The integration stage is where we ask the all-important question, “What can I take from this experience that will help me to become a more loving, positive, heart-centred person?” We realize that we are wiser, more capable and certainly more self-aware as a result of the illness. We understand the process and though may backslide, especially when symptoms flare up, we now have the tools to get ourselves back on course. We have integrated our precrisis self with our current self so that life becomes whole again and we at last have a sense of peace. Morrie Schwartz, the 78-yearold sociology professor in Mitch Albom’s non-fiction best seller Tuesday’s with Morrie, shares this piece of advice with Albom as the time of his passing draws near. “If you hold back on the emotions – if you don’t allow yourself to go all the way through them ‚ you can never get to being detached, you’re too busy being afraid. You’re afraid of the pain, you’re afraid of the grief. You’re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.” I might add one piece of advice as imparted me by my dear friend: never lose your sense of humour. It will keep you grounded and real. Humour brings together hope and healing.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Mandatory flu shots for health-care workers should be put on hold until there is a more effective influenza vaccine, a prominent infectious diseases specialist says. In a commentary published in this week’s issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Dr. Michael Gardam argues that making the vaccine mandatory could lead to legal challenges that may not be winnable, given the modest efficacy of the vaccine. Gardam, who is pro-vaccine and who gets a flu shot annually, is essentially arguing that this is not a hill worth dying for. “Any sort of policy decision where you’re going to make a vaccine mandatory is going to be an uphill battle, right? It’s going to be a real fight,” said Gardam, who is head of infection control at Toronto’s University Health Network. “And so you have to decide if you’re going to make that fight, is this vaccine worth it to make that fight? And I personally don’t think it is.” The commentary was swiftly rebutted by influenza vaccine proponents, who countered that it’s faulty logic to link the fact that the vaccine could be better with the question of whether mandatory flu shot policies for health-care workers are legitimate. “The premise of a relationship between those two things just doesn’t make sense,” said Dr. Allison McGeer, head of infection control at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital and a vocal advocate for mandatory flu shot policies for health-care workers. “Yes, influenza vaccine is only 60 per cent effective. “Yes, we very clearly need better influenza vaccines, because despite fairly widespread use of a vaccine that’s 60 per cent effective there’s still a lot of morbidity and mortality” — illness and death — “due to influenza. “The fact that we need a better vaccine does not mean that our current vaccines are not useful. We need better treatments for cancer too, but we’re not going to stop treating people for cancer because our treatments are not perfect.” The commentary and the heated discussion that will surely follow its publication flow from an evolving debate within infectious diseases circles over flu shots. One of the only tools available to combat influenza, flu vaccine used to be thought to be between 70 and 90 per cent effective at preventing illness in healthy adults, though less effective at protecting the elderly and young children. But in recent years, the efficacy estimate has taken a big step back, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control now suggesting the vaccine protects about 50 to 70 per cent of healthy adults who get a shot. Some infectious diseases experts have rallied to the vaccine’s defence, arguing that 50 to 70 per cent protection is still sizable. But others see support for the existing vaccines as undermining efforts to push the pharmaceutical industry towards finding ways to make better flu vaccine — products that last longer and protect against more strains of the alwayschanging virus. Gardam said that given the efficacy of the current vaccines he’s not sure courts would side with hospitals or provinces that decided to require their health-care workers be vaccinated against influenza.

Rebels looking for good start COACH BRENT SUTTER SAYS QUICK START ‘HUGE’ FOR REBELS ON THE ROAD BECKY DAVIDSON

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Fifteen-year-old Becky Davidson of the Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs was named the Alberta Major Midget Female Hockey League rookie of the year. The Delburne native accumulated 16 goals and 10 assists in 32 games during the regular season. She finished with three power play markers, three short handed goals and led the team with four game winning goals. Davidson, who is in Grade 10 at Hunting Hills, added one goal in six playoff games.

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR PRINCE ALBERT — The Red Deer Rebels showed a lot of positive signs while winning the first two games of their WHL Eastern Conference quarter-final with the Prince Albert Raiders. Now that the series is back in Prince Albert for Games 3 and 4 tonight and Wednesday at the Art Hauser Centre, will those positive signs have to be even more prevalent? “The important thing is we have to have our emotion level where it needs to be to match and be better than the opposition,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said Monday, just prior to a practice session at the Art Hauser. The Raiders were 20-10-3-3 on home ice during the regular season and defeated the visiting Rebels twice. However, the two victories over Red Deer were via overtime and a shootout. “They (Raiders) are home now and they’re a confident team playing in this building, but it’s also a building we got two points out of this year. It’s not like we haven’t played well here,” said Sutter. “In the playoffs, you have to win on the road and we’re going to have to get right after it right off the bat tomorrow. Our start will be huge for us. We have to be ready to play right from the get go. The biggest thing

is just getting engaged both mentally and physical right away.” The Rebels busted out of the gate in each of the first two games, scoring just 25 seconds into Game 1 and 2:35 into Game 2. Following the same game plan during the next two outings would be ideal. “We have to build off of what we’ve done so far,” said Sutter. “We haven’t accomplished anything yet, but we have played well and now we have to continue to get better. “It takes four games to win a series and we’re halfway home with that. There could be up to five more games to be played in

this series and we just have to make sure we win two of them. But the focus now is just on Game 3. We have to come in here (tonight) and set our standards early. We have to make sure we’re playing the way we need to play and make sure we’re accountable within that standard.” Unless the Rebels win the next two games to complete a series sweep, a fifth game will be played Friday at the Centrium. Additional games, if needed, are scheduled for Sunday in Prince Albert and next Tuesday at the Centrium. ● Vancouver Giants head coach Don Hay has been named bench boss of Canada’s national team for the world under-18 championship April 18-28 in Sochi, Russia. Hockey Canada also announced that Jody Hull (Petrolia, Ont.), head coach of the OHL’s Peterborough Petes, and Yves Sarault (Valleyfield, Que.) have been named assistant coaches. Hay just completed his ninth season as head coach of the Giants and 14th as a WHL head coach. He has won three Memorial Cups as a head coach — one with the Giants and two with the Kamloops Blazers — and has held the same position with the Calgary Flames and Phoenix Coyotes. Hay won a gold medal as head coach with Canada’s national junior team in 1995 in Red Deer and a bronze medal as head coach of the 2012 national junior squad. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Oilers’ rally falls short in loss to Preds BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Predators 3 Oilers 2 NASHVILLE — Sergei Kostitsyn had a goal and an assist to lead the Nashville Predators to a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. Kevin Klein and Chris Mueller also scored for Nashville, which its third straight. Martin Erat added two assists for the Predators. He has seven points (one goal, six assists) in his past three games. Taylor Hall and Shawn Horcoff scored for the Oilers in their third consecutive loss. Hall opened the scoring at 7:53 of the opening period. The goal was Hall’s seventh of the season. With the Oilers on the power play, Potter’s slap shot from the blue line through traffic beat Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne on the stick side. The goal was Potter’s first of the season. Kostitsyn answered for Nashville at 11:51 of the first when he converted off a nifty Mike Fisher pass from the right side. Fisher’s assist extended his season-long points streak to seven games. Klein gave Nashville a 2-1 lead at 4:31 of the second. From the right circle, Erat found Kostitsyn on the left side. Kostitsyn carried the puck in deep and then fed Klein in the low slot where he had an easy wrist shot into an open net for his second of the season. In Nashville’s March 17 game in Edmonton, it was a bad line change by Kostitsyn that led to an Oilers short-handed goal in a game that Edmonton went on to win 3-2. Kostitsyn was a healthy

Tiger Woods holds the championship trophy after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tournament in Orlando, Fla., Monday.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The moment was vintage Tiger Woods, and so was his reaction. Seconds after Rickie Fowler made a 40-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole to pull within two shots of the lead, Woods posed over his 25-foot birdie putt until he swept the putter upward in his left hand and marched toward the cup as it dropped for a birdie. Fowler, standing on the edge of the green, turned with a slight smile as if to say, “What else can I do?” Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday and returned to No. 1 in the world for the first time since October 2010, the longest spell of his career. After all that time, after so much turmoil with his personal life and his health, Woods looks as good as ever. Maybe better. “It’s a byproduct of hard work, patience and getting back to winning golf tournaments,” Woods said. He essentially wrapped up his eighth title at Bay Hill with an eight-iron out of a fairway bunker on the par-5 16th that easily cleared the water and landed safely on the green for a two-putt birdie. Woods dangled his tongue out of his mouth as the ball was in the air, another sign of his swagger. Just like his other two wins this year, Woods never let anyone get closer than two shots in the final round. With a conservative bogey he could afford on the final hole, he closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-shot

win over Justin Rose. Woods walked off the 18th green waving his putter over his head — truly a magic wand at Bay Hill — to acknowledge the fans who have seen this act before. His eighth win in the Arnold Palmer Invitational tied a PGA Tour record that had not been touched in 48 years. This win had extra significance. He’s back to No. 1. “If I get healthy, I know I can play this game at a high level,” Woods said. “I know I can be where I’m contending in every event, contending in major championships and being consistent day in and day out — if I got healthy. That was the first step in the process. Once I got there, then my game turned.” A year ago, he came to Bay Hill without having won in more than 2 ½ years. He left this year having won six times in his last 20 starts on the PGA Tour. Next up is the Masters, where Woods will try to end his five-year drought in the majors. “I’m really excited about the rest of this year,” Woods said. Woods fell as low as No. 58 in the world as he coped with the collapse of his marriage, a loss of sponsors and injuries to his left leg. One week after he announced he was dating Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, Woods returned to the top of golf. “Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!” Vonn tweeted moments after his win. Asked if there was any correlation to his winning right after going public with his relationship, Woods smiled and said, “You’re reading way too much into this.”

Flames face uphill climb starting with Chicago BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Calgary Flames face a monumental task if they hope to get back into playoff contention this season. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got five points to make up between themselves and eighth-place Dallas, and the climb starts with a road game against the league-leading Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. The Flames (12-14-4) have lost nine straight decisions on the road, going 0-8-1 during that span. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know how good and how strong this (Chicago) team is, but at the same time, we focus on our team,â&#x20AC;? Flames coach Bob Hartley said Monday, a day after Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-2 home win over St. Louis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at our situation, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re five points away from eighth spot (in the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Conference) with a game in hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been saying this for a long time now, but the only way that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to get back in the pack is to win at home and to win on the road. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been winning at home, but now we have to turn it around on the road.â&#x20AC;? The Flames have won seven straight at home, but they need to figure out how to replicate that success away from the Scotiabank Saddledome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mental thing,â&#x20AC;? said netminder Miikka Kiprusoff following a 36-save first-star performance in

the win over the Blues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel good at home because we have good fans here. You need to be able to win road games if you want to make the playoffs in this league.â&#x20AC;? For the Flames to end their road woes, Hartley said his players have to put aside all distractions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been telling the players for the last week: our only motivation, the only thing we need to look at, is at the standings,â&#x20AC;? Hartley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never mind anything else. Never mind power-play percentage, (penalty-kill) percentage, faceoff percentage, save percentage. Who cares? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the standings. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go up within a week or two, we might be out.â&#x20AC;? Those distractions include speculation that captain Jarome Iginla could waive his no-movement clause, allowing the Flames to deal him prior to the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trade deadline on April 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any surprise for anyone in this organization,â&#x20AC;? Hartley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of year. At the same time, we knew with our players that would happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual. You just have to keep going. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of being a hockey coach, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of being a hockey player.â&#x20AC;? Hartley says the Flames have the capability to end their road losing streak in Chicago before returning home to the next night to face the struggling Colorado Avalanche.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could get a lead and play really strong like limiting turnovers and individual mistakes in our zone, I think we could come up with a big game and a big win and head back home to face the Avalanche the next night,â&#x20AC;? Hartley said. The last time the Flames played the Blackhawks on Feb. 2 in Calgary, netminder Ray Emery made a career-high 45 saves to backstop Chicago to a 3-2 shootout win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was criminal,â&#x20AC;? said Chicago coach Joel Quenneville after that game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to call the cops after that performance. (Emery) stole two points. He was spectacular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never ever been outplayed, outchanced like that in my life. That was a special performance and it continued on in the shootout.â&#x20AC;? In that game, Calgary outshot Chicago 47-19 and still lost. On Sunday, it was the Flames who emerged with the victory over the Blues even though they were outshot by a 38-17 margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes the beauty of our game,â&#x20AC;? Hartley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know the outcome. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no easy two points in this league any more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember when I was a kid watching some games and there was some games that were not even worth watching because you knew it would be a disaster. Today, with the parity in the league, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. I believe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why so many fans love this game so much.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson pitches gem in Jays spring win Broncos get one back against Hitmen BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Broncos 3 Hitmen 2 OT SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Colby Cave scored 10:14 into overtime to lift the Swift Current Broncos to a 3-2 victory over the visiting Calgary Hitmen on Monday in Western Hockey League playoff action. The home team has won each game in the series, with Calgary still holding a 2-1 lead in the best-ofseven series. Game 4 will go Tuesday at Swift Currentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Credit Union iPlex. Cave had a pair of goals for Swift Current, while captain Adam Lowry had a goal and assisted on both of Caveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores. Eetu Laurikainen made 43 saves for the win. Cody Sylvester struck twice for the Hitmen, while goaltender Chris Driedger stopped 39 shots. Both teams went 1 for 4 on the power play. Cave collected his first career WHL playoff goal 5:37 into the third period to give the Broncos their first lead of the series. Sylvester forced overtime for Calgary when he scored his second of the game with just 33 seconds left in regulation while on the power play and the Hitmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net empty for an extra attacker. Lowry scored during a five-on-three power play in the second for his third of the post-season. Lowry assisted on both Bronco goals and now has a teamleading five playoff points. Calgary had opened the scoring for the third consecutive time in the series on a goal from Sylvester in the first period. Both teams now have an overtime win in the series after Calgary earned a 6-5 overtime victory in Game One.

DUNEDIN, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; J.P. Arencibia received some good news before the game and made more during Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-sided victory over Philadelphia. Arencibia homered twice, Josh Johnson struck out eight in 5 1-3 shutout innings and the Blue Jays beat the Phillies 13-4 on Monday. Toronto manager John Gibbons said prior to the first pitch that both Arencibia and backup Henry Blanco will catch knuckleballer R.A. Dickey this season. That means Arencibia will start on opening day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the team,â&#x20AC;? Arencibia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the craziest transition. I think that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve proved Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to catch him pretty well.â&#x20AC;? The Blue Jays had been thinking about having a personal catcher, possibly Blanco, work with Dickey fulltime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After watching J.P. catch him in the WBC and did a nice job, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll both catch him,â&#x20AC;? Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest with you, I thought J.P. might have a hard time with him and catching a knuckleball.â&#x20AC;? Arencibia hit a three-run shot and Jose Reyes had a two-run triple during an eight-run second off Phillies starter John Lannan. Mark DeRosa, Rajai Davis and Melky Cabrera each had RBI singles.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great lineup, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re swinging,â&#x20AC;? said Lannan, who allowed 12 runs and 14 hits over four innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the day I was up in the zone, and they took advantage,â&#x20AC;? Lannan added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, it was solid contact. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to move on. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to kind of look at it like, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting it out of the way I hope.â&#x20AC;? Arencibia, who had three hits, added a two-run drive in a threerun fourth. Johnson gave up four hits and one walk. The right-hander also started March 15 in Dunedin, a 175 Blue Jays victory over the New York Yankees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awesome,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last start I had over here, it was the same thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; long innings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take (it).â&#x20AC;? Toronto closer Casey Janssen struck out all three of his hitters in his second spring training appearance. He had surgery in November to address lingering shoulder soreness. Zach Miner replaced Lannan in the fifth and gave up Cabreraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadoff homer. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all good news for the home team. Toronto third baseman Brett Lawrie will start the regular season on the disabled list due to a strained rib. He felt discomfort in his left side during an exhibition game with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WBC team against the Cincinnati Reds on March 6.

Rimbey takes Generals have time to Midget C kill after provincial win provincials BY ADVOCATE STAFF There was a positive and a negative side to the fact the Bentley Generals wrapped up their best-ofseven provincial senior AAA hockey championship against the Stony Plain Eagles in four games. On the positive side they have three weeks to rest and be ready for the Allan Cup, which runs April 1520 at the Red Deer Arena. On the negative side they have three weeks off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some aspects it would be better if we were going into the Allan Cup playoff hardened,â&#x20AC;? said Generals GM Jeff McInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look at B.C. and Saskatchewan and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still playing in tough series and that helps you go into the championships ready.â&#x20AC;? McInnis tried to get Stony Plain to extend the series into April, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ice time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about that. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be healthy and will have six practices over the next three weeks to prepare. And some of the other teams will have time off as well.â&#x20AC;? The Generals are playing at the top of their game as they showed against the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are,â&#x20AC;? said McInnis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pleased that the guys continued to play at a level they showed all season.â&#x20AC;? The Generals also have a set lineup thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been together most of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We added Jeremy Colliton and Trent Hunter later in the year, but mainly everyone has been together all season. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a tight group and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winning atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Unlike previous years the Generals wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add a goaltender for the Allan Cup, using Dan Bakala and Travis Yonkman. Bakala was in goal in the Generalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5-1 win Saturday that wrapped up the provincial title. Bakala, a Calgary Royals grad who played three years with Bemidji State, posted a 5-0 record and an 0.80 goals-against-average during the playoffs while Yonkman had a 3.18 GAA. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

HERITAGE JUNIOR B

Vipers get swept in league finals, next up provincials

Tyson Maton scored in overtime to give the Rimbey Renegades a 6-5 win over La Crete in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final of the provincial midget C hockey championship at Coaldale. Maton also scored in regulation time for the provincial champs, who got additional goals from Kale Lapoine, Tye Munro, Douglas Wing and Milton Elliot. Rimbey was undefeated in the tournament with three round-robin wins and two playoff victories.

The Red Deer Vipers were not able to pull out a win in the Heritage Junior B Hockey League final. The Vipers got swept by the Okotoks Bisons after dropping an 8-3 decision in the third game of the best-of-five series Monday in Okotoks. Scoring for the Vipers was Kolton Gillett, Jeff

Kohut and Ryan Thomson. Adding assists were Jon Finnigan, Troy Klaus and Cole Degraaf. Brenden Mandrusiak stopped 30 of the 38 shots he faced in the loss. Both teams will now move on to the provincial junior B championship tournament April 4-7 at Wainwright.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be ready,â&#x20AC;? Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like he had a big setback or anything, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a precautionary thing.â&#x20AC;? Lawrie doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a timetable on when he might return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I do things out on the field, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right on that side,â&#x20AC;? Lawrie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to make sure that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 per cent and everything is out of there, and I can just go out there and play.â&#x20AC;? The Blue Jays will likely platoon DeRosa and Maicer Izturis at third. Toronto first baseman Edwin Encarnacion, out with a sore right index finger, could play in the next couple days. He expects to take batting practice Tuesday. Erik Kratz had a two-run single during the Philliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four-run ninth off Brett Cecil.

ALL SET FOR THE

CENTENNIAL Photos by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff Red Deerians celebrated the city’s centennial on Sunday by taking part in the 100th Birthday Bash, which included a variety of activities from swimming and skating, to art projects and tours. Residents were invited to enjoy free general admission for drop-in activities at the Collicutt Centre, Recreation Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre and Michener Centre. Children aged five to 12 helped create a Centennial Community Art Project by decorating images that showcased Red Deer’s cultural and economic heritage. Face painting and party bouncers were also available for children throughout the day, while older crowds could go on public art tours and enjoy live entertainment. Peter Corraini, who heads to the Recreation Centre every Sunday with his sons Kevin, 11, and Steven, eight, said he originally didn’t know about the centennial celebrations, but appreciated the entertainment from the Golden Circle and Tony Connelly singers. “We came in here and there were people singing,” Corraini said. “It was nice.” At 1 p.m., Red Deer Emergency Services personnel took on and defeated the RCMP in a Guns versus Hoses hockey game at the Collicutt Centre Arena, and city council handed out birthday cake and beverages at all facilities. The city also transported Red Deerians for free, via transit, to allow everyone to join them for the celebrations.

QUILT SHOW The Parkland Pavilion in Westerner Park will feature quilts, and lots of them, on April 5 and 6 when the Central Alberta Quilters Guild hosts its 22nd annual quilt show. Two hundred and twentyfive quilts will be on display at the show, which runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on April 5 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 6. Sue Carton and Frauke Vanderkooi will be featured quilters at the show, and there will be a guest display by two women from the Buggy Barn in Washington state. They will also offer a class on April 7. There will be a merchant mall at the show, with 32 vendors. Admission is $8 for adults and $2 for children under 6. The Westerner Park parking fee of $4 will apply. For more information, contact Diane Chadwick at 403-342-5969.

EATING BRAINS

LOCAL

BRIEFS ‘Nothing suspicious’ about missing dogs Authorities say there is nothing to suggest anything untoward is going on concerning missing area dogs. Reports of missing dogs in the Sylvan Lake area and concerns about the existence of a dog fighting ring have been widely circulated online, but local RCMP and the Alberta SPCA say there have been no substantiated reports of injured or dead dogs suggesting anything suspicious. Jessica Nagorski of the Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue Society said she has heard of abnormally large numbers of large-breed dogs missing in recent months. She hopes dog owners are attentive and document suspected abuses. Anyone with information about cases of animal cruelty can contact the Red Deer and District SPCA at 403-342-7722 or the Alberta SPCA at 780-447-3600.

Lights turned off during Earth Hour Fewer Red Deer lights were turned off on Saturday than the previous year, in response to Earth Hour’s worldwide challenge. Local electricity consumption for Earth Hour 2013 was down 3.2 per cent from normal levels between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. On the same day last year, Red Deer consumption was down 4.2 per cent. Bailey Doepker, environmental program specialist with the City of Red Deer, said they are happy with the results this year although they were less than last year. Weather could have been a factor, she added. “It was a little chillier this year,” said Doepker. The City of Red Deer set an example by shutting down all non-essential electrical sources and lighting at municipal facilities. Residential and commercial customers followed suit, saving a total of 3,229 kilowatt hours of electricity this year. That’s the equivalent of turning off close to 248,404 13-watt compact fluorescent light bulbs for the hour. More importantly, the issue of climate change appeared on people’s radar once again. “Anytime we can draw attention to climate change, it’s a win for the environment. When we can raise awareness by promoting an easy change for residents to make, it’s a victory for everyone,” said Doepker. “We know turning the lights off for one hour won’t reverse the effects of climate change, but we hope that residents go beyond the hour and continue to think about their choices around energy conservation every day.” Organized by the World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, where 2.2 million electricity consumers switched off their lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change. Last year, Earth Hour reported more than 7,000 municipalities in 152 countries taking part.

Taboo show returning Red Deer will soon be getting its sexy back and it has nothing to do with Justin Timberlake. The eighth annual Taboo ... Naughty but Nice (Sex) Show is coming to Westerner Park’s Stockmens Pavilion from April 5 to 7. Throughout the three days, live entertainment, fashion shows, sexy seminars, unique products and other features will be offered. Organizers also promise to show mothers, wives and single women how to “turn their bedroom into the Red Room,” similar to the popular novel Fifty Shades of Grey.

Once one becomes a zombie, it’s pretty much one thought from then on: eating brains and turning all humans into zombies in the process. For more than 100 Red Deer College students, the Humans vs. Zombies event on the weekend saw many, if not all of them, turned into zombies. Here zombie Orville Rayne is ganged up on by other walking dead students including, from the left, Kaitlyn Christopherson, Brittany MacKee, Scott Fullerton and Todd Zimmeran. For about 27 hours on Friday and Saturday, RDC students were the hunters and the hunted as they took part in the annual event. Some of the seminars include corseting workshops, learning to chair tease, learning to pole dance, as well as kink and healthy sexuality workshops. Three theme days will be offered: ● Friday is two-for-one ladies night. One woman will win an pin-up photo package worth more than $1,000 from Brass Edge Pin-Ups. ● On Seductive Saturday, people can take in educational seminars on sex, and find out more about tempting toys and alluring lingerie. ● The last day is Shopping Spree Sunday, where a $100 shopping spree will be awarded every hour. Single day entrance at the show costs $15 cash only (online, you pay $10). A $20 weekend pass is available only online. No one under 19 is allowed in. Hours are 5 p.m. to midnight on Friday, noon to midnight on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Personation charge dropped Sentencing has been adjourned until late next month for a Red Deer woman accused of stealing a vehicle and impersonating a police officer. Represented by Edmonton lawyer Michael Mussieux, Robyn Langhorst, 27, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of theft under $5,000 in Red Deer provincial court on Monday. Crown prosecutor Jillian Brown then withdrew the personation charge. Mussieux asked that sentencing be adjourned to a later date so the court would have time to review a letter from Langhorst’s probation officer. She returns for sentencing on April 24.

Wildlife centre needs equipment A growing wildlife hospital/education centre is on the hunt for some unusual finds. Medicine River Wildlife Centre, located 30 minutes west of Innisfail, is looking for a 27-metre-tall (90 feet) cellphone tower, floating dock of any length, a portable car shelter and a barrel-style composter. Executive director Carol Kelly said they are looking for a composter so that their staff can take advantage of it, plus it can be used when tours come through. The floating dock would be great for their canoe, which is used to go into the wetlands for research. It’s located on the property. “We need a 90-foot-tall cellphone tower because it’s the only way we’re going to get any good Internet service,” said Kelly on Monday. “The service we have is really low quality and our staff wants to do research. They want to contact family back home in Europe.” The portable car shelter will be essential as the centre undergoes renovations and things need to be moved around. The wildlife centre is also looking for expertise, donated materials or cash donations to help with the facility upgrade. All donors will receive a fair market value income tax receipt. Kelly said the centre will launch fundraising campaigns in early April as part of its efforts to build a $2.4-million extensive, green upgrade to the facility and a one-of-a-kind education centre.

168-year-old Freybe Gourmet Foods sold Premium Brands Holdings Corp. (TSX:PBH) will acquire 168-year-old Freybe Gourmet Foods Ltd. and its modern Vancouver-area plant under a friendly deal between the two deli foods producers. “Freybe’s modern production facility has significant unutilized capacity. Correspondingly, it is an ideal solution for replacing the capacity of our deli meats production facility in Richmond, B.C., which is scheduled to be shut down later this year,” said George Paleologou, president and CEO of Premium Brands. He said the Freybe plant, which according to the company website employees some 250 people, will also support growth in the United States by making products for the Hempler Foods Group, in Ferndale, Wash., another Premium Brands business. The Freybe plant has excess capacity that Premium Brands will use for some of its other products.

$1.7M penalty proposed for Exxon spill BILLINGS, Mon. — Federal regulators proposed $1.7 million in civil penalties against Exxon Mobil Corp. on Monday for safety violations linked to a pipeline rupture that spilled an estimated 63,000 gallons of crude oil into Montana’s scenic Yellowstone River. In a notice sent to the company, U.S. Department of Transportation regulators alleged a chain of bad decisions by Exxon leading up to the spill and in its immediate aftermath. That included Exxon employees’ failure to close an upstream safety valve, which could have significantly reduced the size of the spill after it was first detected. — The Canadian Press and The Associated Press

Take it and go from them MOM-AND-DAUGHTER TEAM SET UP KITCHEN ON WHEELS BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A mother-and-daughter team with an affinity for cooking are taking their show on the road — although not too far. Terri Bogusky and her daughter Alana operate Take It and Go Food Truck and Catering. They’ve customized a 16-foot trailer that they’ll pull to various locations around Red Deer, bringing hot meals to customers. “Basically it’s a commercial kitchen on wheels,” said Terri, adding that the trailer is equipped with pretty much everything you’d find in a restaurant. “We can cook anything.” Terri said Take It and Go Food Truck and Catering will serve food like chicken Parmesan wraps, pulled pork sandwiches, beef souvlaki wraps, fish tacos and even a turkey burger with stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce. It will also offer homemade soups and salads, as well as breakfast items like a breakfast burrito, french toast, and yogurt and granola. Overseeing the kitchen will be Alana, a journeyman chef who attended the professional cooking program at SAIT. “I know that we’re going to be successful because her food is amazing and I think people out there will like it,” said Terri.

Take It and Go owners Terri Bogusky and her daughter Alana are set open their food truck this week in the parking lot at Gary Moe Mazda in Gasoline Alley. The pair tested their trailer on Saturday, and expect to open for business this Wednesday and Thursday at Gary Moe Mazda, south of the city in Gasoline Alley East. Terri said they plan to set up a schedule and then rotate be-

tween different locations on a daily basis. “It’s basically park and stay there from 7 to 2.” They expect to publicize their daily whereabouts via Twitter, with their address @ takeitandgofoodtruck.

“What we’re really thinking is the busiest and most fruitful areas will be the industrial parks and that kind of thing,” said Terri. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

Women directors rock the boat: report BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

leasing balance in favour of landlords. “We’re just starting to see in the past few months, lease rates starting to go up in this market.” The Soderquist study concluded that there is 2.3 million square feet of total space in strip malls, of which 3.52 per cent is vacant; 1.1 million square feet in enclosed malls, with 8.42 per cent of this available; and 926,000 square feet in power centres, with a 0.49 per cent vacancy rate. These areas are comparable to last year, said Garcelon, when the vacancy rate was 4.16 per cent for strip malls, 5.56 per cent for enclosed malls and 0.62 per cent for power centres. He said the study did not include other types of commercial premises, like those in Red Deer’s downtown, because they’re often difficult to classify as retail or office. Strip malls, enclosed malls and power centres account for most of the commercial space, he added, and provide an accurate indication of market trends.

TORONTO — Women who sit on corporate boards are more likely to “rock the boat” and be more open to new ideas than their male counterparts — skills that often translate into better decisions and financial success for the company, according to a new study. The survey, recently published in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, found that of the 624 board directors polled in Canada, women were more likely to use “co-operation, collaboration and consensus building” when dealing with complex decisions. While male directors more often made decisions by using “rules, regulations and traditional ways of doing business.” Study co-author Chris Bart said Monday that his research showed that the way women operate as directors often contributed to a company’s success, raising the question of why women are still in the minority in Canada’s corporate boardrooms. “Why would governance, nominating committees and board chairs not want to have that skill set, that competence available to them in abundance?” asked Bart, a professor of strategic management at the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. “It’s no longer just a question of it being the right thing to do, to have women on the board... it’s the bright thing to do.” The finds, part of a larger study conducted between 2004 and 2012, presented morally conflicting scenarios to board members, asking them to solve them and explain how they came to their conclusion. Of those surveyed, 75 per cent were male and 25 per cent were female.

A recent study has found that Red Deer office space vacancy rate is just over 12 percent. This building at the corner of Ross Street and 48th Avenue formerly occupied by Stantec is currently available for lease.

Office space is plentiful, demand high for commercial BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR It’s a tenant’s market if you’re on the hunt for office space; not so much if you’re looking for commercial premises. These appear to be the findings of a vacancy rate study completed recently by Soderquist Appraisals Ltd. The Red Deer company has calculated that the local commercial vacancy rate is 4.08 per cent, while the figure for office space is 12.04 per cent. Both percentages are based on total area available in each category. The commercial rate is up slightly from last year, when a similar study conducted by Soderquist placed the figure at 3.73 per cent. But company CEO Mike Garcelon pointed out that last year, a big chunk of the former Sears store space in Parkland Mall had a temporary tenant in it. “We take that out of the equation, and we’re almost on par with last year.” In fact, he said, the 4.08 per cent vacancy rate appears to be tilting the commercial

Northwestern Air Lease adding flight to Fort McMurray The air connections between Red Deer and Fort McMurray will increase in a couple of weeks. Northwestern Air Lease Ltd. announced on Monday that is adding a Wednesday flight between the Red Deer Airport and Fort McMurray, beginning April 10. The regional airline currently offers passenger service between the two cities on Mondays and Fridays.

“This is such an ideal day of the week to fly, particularly if you only need a couple of days to conduct business in Fort McMurray,” said Red Deer Airport CEO RJ Steenstra in a release. “Fort McMurray is an important destination for businesses in Central Alberta and now access has become easier.” Northwestern president Terry Harrold said the decision to add a mid-week flight

to and from Fort McMurray was the result of input from Central Alberta businesses. The new schedule consists of a departure from Red Deer at 1:45 p.m. and a return flight at 4 p.m. Travel time is approximately 80 minutes. In addition to service between Red Deer and Fort McMurray, Northwestern offers flights from Red Deer to Kelowna and Abbotsford, B.C., five days a week.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed lower Monday as earlier relief over a bailout deal for Cyprus faded. The S&P/TSX composite index finished the session down 76.64 points to 12,680.71 with smartphone maker BlackBerry also a major weight ahead of its earnings release later in the week. Indexes had been higher earlier in the session after Cyprus clinched a (euro)10-billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the ECB aimed at preventing the country from sliding into bankruptcy and ditching the euro currency. But in order to get the money, Cyprus had to come up with (euro)5.8 billion on its own. The bulk of that money is now being raised by forcing losses on holders of large bank deposits, with the remainder coming from tax increases and privatizations. Losses picked up after a top European official said that inflicting losses on banks’ shareholders, bondholders and even large depositors should become the 17-country eurozone’s default approach for dealing with ailing lenders. The Canadian dollar was also

down from the highs of the session and closed up 0.2 of a cent to 97.92 cents US. U.S. indexes also lost early traction as the Dow Jones industrials declined 64.28 points to 14,447.75, the Nasdaq was down 9.7 points at 3,235.3 and the S&P 500 index dipped 5.2 points to 1,551.69. The focus will likely remain on developments surrounding Cyprus for awhile yet. In particular, investors will be interested to see the level of withdrawals from the country’s banks when they reopen. That had been scheduled for Tuesday. A longer-lasting concern though is how the Cyprus deal plays out in other countries, notably those at the forefront of Europe’s debt crisis. Analysts warned there is still a risk of contagion spreading to other weak eurozone countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece. Shares in smartphone maker BlackBerry (TSX:BB) fell for a second session in a row ahead of the release of its quarterly earnings on Thursday. Its stock was off session lows but still down 68 cents, or 4.48 per cent, to $14.51 on top of an eight per cent slide Friday as the smartphone maker’s new Z10 product officially went on sale in the U.S.

The stock also backed off after analyst Simona Jankowski at Goldman Sachs downgraded BlackBerry to neutral. In a note to clients, Jankowski said her firm’s research indicated a “disappointing” U.S. launch for the Z10 “with limited marketing and tepid sell-through at AT&T and Best Buy stores alike.” The company’s fourth-quarter earnings give a glimpse into how well the smartphones are selling in Canada, the U.K. and India, though details on its U.S. launch and other markets won’t be part of the financial report until the next earnings period. Elsewhere on the TSX, the base metals sector led decliners, down 1.76 per cent with May copper off two cents at US$3.44 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) dropped 71 cents to C$19.41. The gold sector dropped about 1.7 per cent as April bullion closed well off the worst levels of the day, slipping $1.60 to US$1,604.50 an ounce. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) lost 66 cents to C$33.67. The May crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was up $1.10 to US$94.81 a barrel. The energy sector was down 0.76 per cent as Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE) fell 53 cents to C$31.40.

STORIES FROM PAGE C3

SPACE: Uncertainty Because this is the first year that Soderquist has looked at office vacancy rates, it’s tough to know what direction the market is headed. A 12.04 per cent rate is high, acknowledged Garcelon, but a lot of new office space has been added in recent years. The relatively new Executive Place and the addition to Millennium Centre accounted for approximately 150,000 square feet, he said, with other projects including five, two-storey office buildings in Gasoline Alley and a new residential-office building on the corner of 49th Avenue and 46th Street. “It is slowly starting to soak up.” Garcelon pointed out that office vacancy rates are usually the last to recover after an economic downturn. Demand for industrial space usually picks up first, and Soderquist concluded last year that the local vacancy rate in this category was just 3.33 per cent. “Industrial is getting really tight,” said Garcelon of the current picture. “We’ve really seen industrial lease rates increasing in the last six months and there’s more construction out there.” Soderquist plans to re-assess industrial vacancy rates again this fall. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

The industrials sector lost 0.89 per cent as Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.B) shed 11 cents to $3.95. The transportation giant said Monday that it has fully powered up the main electrical systems for the first time on its CSeries test aircraft. The company also says it has completed two crucial wing tests ahead of the commercial plane’s first flight by the end of June. The TSX Venture Exchange slipped three points to 1,103.35.

decision-making. “Women seem to be predisposed to be more inquisitive and to see more possible solutions,” he said. “This quality makes them more effective corporate directors.” A recent study by TD Bank (TSX:TD) found that women only make up 11 per cent of board members at companies on the S&P/TSX Composite Index, which represents more than 240 of Canada’s largest companies by market capitalization. Nearly half (43 per cent) of the companies on the index reported no female board member and 28 per cent only had one. Bart says the reality is that the “old boys” culture is still alive and well in corporate boardrooms across all sectors. “Men are pack animals and they are very much quick to recognize D the hierarchy of the alI pha males in the group,” L he said. “They would B be very unhappy with E people coming in with R T different values or views to the board.”

Cyprus avoids bankruptcy BANKS TO STAY CLOSED UNTIL THURSDAY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NICOSIA, Cyprus — Cyprus ordered banks to remain closed for two more days over fears of a run by customers trying to get their money out, after striking a pre-dawn bailout deal Monday that averted the country’s imminent bankruptcy. The sudden midnight postponement of the much anticipated bank opening today by all but the country’s two largest lenders was sure to hammer businesses already reeling from more than a week of no access to their deposits. ATMs have been dispensing cash but often run out, and an increasing number of stores and other businesses have stopped accepting credit or debit cards. The two largest lenders, the struggling Laiki and Bank of Cyprus, have imposed a daily withdrawal limit of 100 euros ($130). Cyprus clinched an eleventh-hour deal with the 17-nation eurozone and the International Monetary Fund early Monday for a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bailout. Without it, the country’s banks would have collapsed, dragging down the economy and potentially pushing it out of the euro. Under the deal, the country agreed to slash its oversized banking sector and inflict hefty losses on large depositors in troubled banks. The country’s banks have been closed since March 16 to avert a run on deposits as the country’s politicians struggled to come up with a way to raise enough money to qualify for the bailout. An initial plan that would have raised 5.8 billion euros by seizing up to 10 per cent of people’s bank accounts enraged depositors and was soundly rejected by lawmakers early last week. But with the immediate crisis averted, worry spread across Europe that the deal could boomerang, spooking investors and hurting the eurozone’s efforts to keep its debt crisis from spreading. “The Cypriot bailout has a powerful legacy which may alter the security with which depositors elsewhere in the eurozone view the safety of banks,” said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International. Under the new Cyprus bailout plan, the bulk of the funds will be raised by forcing losses on accounts of more than 100,000 euros in the country’s secondlargest lender, Laiki, and its top lender, Bank of Cyprus, with the remainder coming from tax increases and privatizations. People and businesses with more than 100,000 euros in their accounts at Laiki face significant losses. The bank will be dissolved immediately into a socalled bad bank containing its uninsured deposits and toxic assets, with the guaranteed deposits being transferred to the Bank of Cyprus. Deposits at Bank of Cyprus above 100,000 euros will be frozen until it becomes clear whether or to what extent they will also be forced to take losses. Those funds will eventually be converted into bank shares. The initial plan to seize a percentage of all deposits sent jitters across the eurozone. European officials, anxious to prevent any further spread of the financial crisis that has already left Greece, Ireland and Portugal dependent on bailout funds, had been at pains to point out that Cyprus was a unique case.

WOMEN: Less constrained Bart, who did the research with Gregory McQueen of A.T. Still University in Arizona, says the answers from female directors showed that they were “less constrained” in their problem-solving skills than male directors. It also found that women were more likely to take into account interests of multiple stakeholders and viewed fairness as an important factor in their

Living With Chronic Pain Presents Special Challenges By Pam Snowdon

Cut your finger while chopping veggies for dinner? When body tissue is damaged, nerve endings send a signal to your brain that something is wrong. The pain you feel - in this case known as the acute kind - tells you that your finger is injured and you had better put down the knife and go find a bandage. Chronic pain, on the other hand, does not serve a purpose and is often considered a disease in itself. Whether felt persistently or intermittently, chronic pain is endured for a far longer period of time than when an injury should otherwise be expected to have healed. People living with arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer, diabetes, and other medical conditions often know the suffering of chronic pain. According to statistics compiled by the Canadian Pain Coalition, one in five Canadians live with this condition. As we age, we can expect some deterioration in our bones, tissues, and organs. However, age alone isn’t a sole determining factor. People within any age bracket can be affected. For example, Linda Shepherd has been living with the chronic pain of rheumatoid arthritis for more than fifty years. Diagnosed at age 10, the Red Deer County resident says that she can’t remember what it is like to live without pain. “It’s all over, in every joint. Some days it’s bearable, other days it isn’t,” according to Shepherd. In the case of a cut finger, after applying antiseptic cream and a bandage you can anticipate a quick recovery. For those suffering from chronic pain, things are not so straightforward. The very fact that the pain is sometimes invisible to others, as in the case of migraines or fibromyalgia, can be challenging. Individuals coping with chronic pain can feel demoralized when pain prevents them from participating fully in activities that they once enjoyed. They are often caught in a vicious cycle of pain, loss, anxiety, depression and disempowerment with both physical and practical repercussions. “There is certainly a negative cycle when mobility has become an issue. If it hurts to move, then you just don’t want to get up and leave the house. Sometimes simply getting out of bed is difficult,” says

Sandra Thorne, a yoga therapist and instructor who facilitates yoga classes for people living with cancer. “When you are constantly in pain, you don’t sleep well, “ Shepherd says. “You feel tired all the time. And then being on your own can make it even easier to feel depressed. It’s hard, but you have to try to break out of that cycle.” When pain has slowed you down or even immobilized you to the point where you feel like you can’t participate in your normal activities, you are at a further risk of becoming isolated from meaningful relationships with other people. Having to turn down social opportunities time and again can be disheartening. Likewise, a sufferer’s reputation and financial means can become compromised either from having to decline work related requests or commitments, or from dealing with insurance claims that are questioned or threatened. The resulting anxiety, anger, and depression sets the negative cycle of disempowerment spiralling into motion once again. “When I was young, “ says Shepherd, “I still tried to be active. I had a job in a store, but I had to quit because standing was too painful. In England, I couldn’t work full time, and I had to live with my parents. When I came to Canada in 1977, I found the climate here much better suited to the rheumatoid arthritis. I was able to work full time and have my own place to live.” Shepherd goes on to explain that living in chronic pain has nevertheless resulted in occasional bouts of depression. “Some of my joints are disfigured from the arthritis, so I had very little self confidence. I really didn’t like my own body. I was shy, not social at all, and didn’t like to mix in groups.” Reducing stress helps address issues of physical mobility, as well as mental health. The University of Alberta Life Despite Pain Program recommends yoga as a form of self care, and Thorne agrees that as well as addressing the issue on a physical level, yoga helps when you are feeling emotionally rigid or stuck. “When we are in pain, our breath becomes shallow. The deep breathing in yoga helps remove us from that stressful state, and helps brings back the connection to the body, mind,

and spirit,” she says. “Chemotherapy and some medications can cause side effects, and some of the postures in yoga can help the lymphatic system to do it’s job.” Reducing stress that contributes to pain can be achieved through

“

“Sometimes you just have to find the right support group or class. It helps just to be with a group of people who know how it feels to be going through what you are experiencing.”

“

– Sandra Thorne

other gentle forms of exercise such as tai chi, or through massage, meditation, or other therapies. Rehabilitation and physiotherapy, the use of topical pain relievers, using heated compresses or ice packs are other ideas that may provide relief. Discovering what will work for you, or the right combination of therapies, might be a case of trial and error. Shepherd says that over the years she has “tried just about everything”, partly because her system has become sensitive to medications. Thorne stresses not to try and self diagnose your chronic pain. Indeed,

there is a mountain of information available on every kind of ailment imaginable on the internet and from other sources, but the Canadian Pain Coalition points out that chronic pain is not always clearly understood even by the medical community. In fact, when Shepherd was a girl, her pain was initially attributed to growing pains. Today, organizations such as the Life Despite Pain Program at the University of Alberta, the McMaster University DeGroote National Pain Centre, the Canadian Pain Society, the Chronic Pain Association of Canada, and other organizations carry out research and make

Excellence In Care

recommendations to improve the quality of life of sufferers, as well as provide education and awareness. Linda Shepherd is determined not to be defined by her pain: she volunteers as a board member at the Golden Circle Seniors Resource Centre, and as a United Way Ambassador. She also participates in local social organizations. “Unless I’m having a really bad day, I don’t

cancel my plans. Some mornings I wake up in pain, feeling really stiff, but I make myself get up earlier to get ready and go. Being socially involved takes your mind off things.” Thorne says, “Sometimes you just have to find the right support group or class. It helps just to be with a group of people who know how it feels to be going through what you are experiencing.”

announcements BAWTINHEIMER Neil M. 1934 - 2013 Neil Bawtinheimer passed away peacefully after a brief illness at the Red Deer Hospital on Friday, March 22, 2013 at the age of 78 years. Neil was born in 1934 and raised in Red Deer. His first job was with his father at what was known as Les and N e i l ’ s C a r a n d Tr a c t o r Service, then Bawtinheimer’s Repairs in downtown Red Deer. Whether in the shop, under a tractor in the field at harvest time, or even one of the neighborhood kids’ cars, there didn’t seem to be anything he could not fix. He loved it. He also had passion for trapshooting, and travelled far and wide to participate in competitive events. A lift of an eyebrow, a twinkle in the eye and you knew he was up to no good, or at least thinking of it. His corny sayings could bring a chuckle to anyone. Neil leaves to mourn his loving companion Wanda Snider, daughter Dawn (Keith) Hanson, son Pat (Perrilynne) Bawtinheimer, grandchildren Michael and Ceanna Bawtinheimer, sister Lila ( B i l l ) P e t e r s o n , Wa n d a ’ s children Penny, Cindy, Rick, Tammy and Candy along with their spouses and children to whom Neil was papa as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Eva (1986) and parents Leslie (1997) and Myrtle (1999) Bawtinheimer. Please join the family for a casual drop-in gathering on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Parkland Funeral Home, 6287 - 67A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. In Lieu of flowers memorial donations in Neil’s memory may be made directly to the Canadian Cancer Society, #101 6751 52 Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 4K8. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Gordon R.

Keith passed quietly away, in the loving arms of his family, on March 22, 2013, at the Bethany Collegeside Care Centre in Red Deer. Although it is hard to say goodbye to such a strong and brave man, he has earned his peace after a courageous battle with dementia and cancer. Keith was born to Hervey and Harriett Glenn on the family homestead, a few miles west of Lousana, Alberta. He was a younger brother to Arlene Hay, Shirley Oak and the late Berta Pengelly. While working, in the Taber area, he met his love for the next 62 years, Donna Kenney. They were married in 1951 and moved to the new family farm east of Lousana, where they resided until their move to Innisfail in 2004. Being a true farmer at heart, Keith dedicated his life to tilling the soil and harvesting its bountiful golden crops. It was not an easy life but he wouldn’t have changed it for anything and he yearned for his farm until his last days. Keith was also a very accomplished carpenter and his handmade wooden objects grace the homes of many members of his family. Keith enjoyed participating in, or being a spectator at, all kinds of events held in and around Lousana. He was a long-time member of the Trenville Elks and the Order of Foresters. He loved travelling and camping and taking loose change off of anyone who wanted to challenge him at crib or an enthusiastic game of cards. Keith is survived by his loving wife Donna and by his children, who embraced the traits of honesty, integrity and hard work their Dad taught them by his example... Lynne (George) Spijksma, Lois (late Frank) Nellis, Doug (Susan) and David (Leanne). Grandpa (Poppa) also leaves behind to carry on his legacy, his grandchildren, Anthony (Kelsey) Jestin, Wade (Joan) Nellis, Scott (Delana) Nellis, Craig (Charla) Nellis, Alysa Glenn, Kristina (Paul) Galenza, Tyson Glenn, Dalea Glenn and Tayber Glenn. Keith is also survived by five great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and his loyal and beloved furry friend, Bella. Keith’s family are very thankful for the help they have received over the past months, from friends Jonn and Pat Forthin. Funeral service will take place at the Eventide Funeral Chapel (4820-45 Street, Red Deer, AB T4N 1K5) at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, March 26, 2013, with reception to follow. For those who wish, donations may be made in Keith’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society, 101, 6751-52 Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4N 4K8, or to the Red Deer and District SPCA, 4505-77 Street, Red Deer, AB T4P 2J1.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The president of the Central African Republic fled the country for Cameroon after rebels overran the capital of the impoverished nation long wracked by rebellions. South Africa said Monday that 13 of its soldiers were killed in fighting with rebels, prompting criticism about why its forces had intervened in such a volatile conflict. Ousted President Francois Bozize sought “’temporary” refuge on its territory, the Cameroonian government confirmed Monday. Central African Republic’s new leadership appeared fragmented, with a split emerging in the rebel coalition that seized the capital. The African Union on Monday imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on seven leaders of the rebel coalition, known as Seleka, and said their advance had undermined prospects for a lasting solution to the crisis in the landlocked country. It urged African states to deny “any sanctuary and co-operation” to the rebel chiefs. The United States is “deeply concerned about a serious deterioration in the security situation” in Central African Republic, said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement Sunday.

“We urgently call on the Seleka leadership which has taken control of Bangui to establish law and order in the city and to restore basic services of electricity and water,” the statement said. The U.N. Security Council said in a statement that it “strongly condemned the recent attacks and the seizure of power by force in the Central African Republic” and “the ensuing violence and looting.” It also denounced the violence that led to the South African casualties. The Security Council “called on all parties to refrain from any acts of violence against civilians, including foreign communities.” The rebel groups making up the Seleka alliance agreed they wanted Bozize out. Some of the rebels complained of broken promises of government jobs and other benefits. Others cited the deep impoverishment of the country’s distant north despite the Central African Republic’s considerable wealth of gold, diamonds, timber and uranium. Africa has a fraught history of foreign military missions, whether for humanitarian or political purposes, or some combination of the two, in times of conflict. The central part of the continent, repeatedly buffeted by interlocking rebellions, is particularly treacherous for countries with an activist foreign policy.

Italy court delays Knox acquittal decision to today

ROME — Italy’s highest court delayed until Tuesday a decision on whether American student Amanda Knox will face a new trial in the murder of her British roommate — an unusual but not unprecedented move. At The court heard six hours of arguments Monday and www.garymoe.com spent several hours deliberating that and a handful of other cases before announcing it would issue a decision at 10 a.m. (0900 GMT) Tuesday on whether the 2011 acquittals of Knox has relocated to and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito will stand. Italian prosecutors have asked the high court to throw out the acquittals of Knox and Sollecito in the murder of 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher and order a new trial. The high court normally issues the decisions the same day it hears arguments. But prosecutor general Luigio Riello told reporters that “in very complex cases, it happens” 279139 that the court takes another day. Lawyers for Sollecito declined to speculate on what the delay could mean for the decision. Sollecito’s father was SUV's calm about the development. “We have waited so many years, one night is not going to make a difference,” Francesco Sollecito said outside the courthouse. He said he hadn’t spoken to his son, who did not attend the hearing, about the day’s proceedings. Knox, meanwhile, was waiting anxiously in Seattle to hear if her long legal battle is over. “She’s carefully paying attention to what will come out,” 2007 Range Rover Sport attorney Luciano Ghirga said as he arrived at Italy’s Court of HSE $29888 403- 348-8788 Cassation in Rome. “This is a fundamental stage. The trial is very complex.” Knox, now 25, and Raffaele Sollecito, who turns 29 on Tuesday, were arrested in 2007, shortly after Kercher’s body was found in a pool of blood in her bedroom in the rented apartment she shared with the American and others in the university town of Perugia, where they were exchange stu2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV dents. Her throat had been slashed. $16,888 403-348-8788 Prosecutors alleged that Kercher was the victim of a drug-fueled sexual assault. Knox and Sollecito have both maintained their innoTrucks cence, although they said that smoking marijuana the night Kercher was killed had clouded their recollections. Knox and Sollecito were convicted and given long prison sentences: 26 years for Knox, 25 for Sollecito. But an appeals court acquitted them in 2011, criticizing virtually the entire case mounted by prosecutors. The appellate court noted that the murder weapon was never found, said that DNA 2010 SIERRA ext/cab 4x4, tests were faulty and added that Knox and Sollecito had no motive to kill Kercher. 5.3L 6 spd, auto, $15,500 403-346-9816 After nearly four years behind bars in Italy, Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle and Sollecito resumed his computer science studies. Knox is now a student at the University of Washington, according to her family spokesman, Dave Marriott. In the second and final level of appeal, prosecutors are now seeking to overturn the acquittals, while defence attorneys say they should stand. 2008 Ford F350 lariat 4x4 Diesel long box One OwnThe court can decide to confirm the acquittal, making er $29888 403-348- 8788 it final, or throw out the Perugia appellate court ruling entirely or partially, remanding the case to a new appeals court trial.

From ‘Batman’ to Leonardo da Vinci SCREENWRITER DAVID S. GOYER TAKES ON REAL-LIFE SUPERHERO BY FRAZIER MOORE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — In these 500 years since Leonardo da Vinci, he has upstaged every genius multi-tasker in his wake. (OK, not you, Benjamin Franklin and James Franco.) Da Vinci was a whiz as a painter (hint: Mona Lisa and The Last Supper), a scientist and engineer, and a futurist dead-set on fighting the gravitational pull of his own times. He was an intellect, free thinker, vegetarian and a humanist who supported himself designing weapons of war. He was tall, handsome and a hit with the ladies. He was great with a sword and, being ambidextrous, which hand didn’t matter. “The phrase ‘Renaissance Man’ was derived from him,” says David S. Goyer, who has spent a lot of time studying and pondering him, and has created Da Vinci’s Demons, a sci-fi thriller set in the 1400s. Another cool thing about da Vinci: He was a man of intrigue, ensconced in secret societies, his paternity unresolved (he was born out of wedlock), perhaps divinely inspired as he clashed with the Roman Catholic Church — a man who seemed to defy the confinements of any simple narrative. “There’s a tantalizing five-year gap, stretching from when he was 27 to 32, where there’s almost no record of where he was or what he was doing,” says Goyer. “A gap like that is gold when you’re the creator of this show.” Da Vinci’s Demons, which premieres on the Starz network on April 12, is a “historical fantasy,” says Goyer, who should be up to the challenge. Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Mich., he remembers spending half each Saturday in a comic book shop, the other half at the city’s library. Now 47, he is wiry and balding and bears a striking resemblance to the actor Stanley Tucci, whom he says he’s never met but is often mistaken for. His credits include the short-lived but ambitious sci-fi thriller FlashForward, which prematurely fell prey to meddling by its network, ABC. He was script consultant and story developer for the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops and its sequel. He co-wrote the 2005 film Batman Begins and its two sequels, and wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Zack Snyder-directed Man of Steel. In Goyer’s view, da Vinci was the prototype of a superhero: “I picture him as one-third Indiana Jones, one-third Sherlock Holmes, one-third Tony Stark (Iron Man) — and he kind of was.” To play this extraordinary chap, Goyer chose English-born actor Tom Riley. The 31-year-old starred in the British TV medical drama Monroe, and in 2011 performed on Broadway in the revival of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia alongside Billy Crudup and Raul Esparza. Riley’s da Vinci is sexy, mercurial and irrepressible. He savors life in his native Florence: “Chaos

He is too driven, too full of ideas, too haunted by doubts about his life’s intended mission. He is no stranger to opium, which he uses, he explains, because “I think too much. I need to dull my thoughts or I will be eviscerated by them.” At times he overreaches, stumbles and falls (though ever so dashingly). And he has an eye for a pretty face, including — at high risk — comely Lucrezia Donati (Laura Haddock), the mistress of Lorenzo di Medici (Elliot Cowan), da Vinci’s benefactor and one of the city’s most powerful figures. He has an answer for everything, including an accuser who brands him “arrogant.” “Arrogance implies that I exaggerate my own worth,” da Vinci fires back. “I don’t.” Goyer says he hit upon doing a show about da Vinci only by chance. He had never done anything historical before, and when asked by Starz to create a drama focused on some towering figure from the past, he first demurred. “I said, ‘I’m not — no offence — interested in doing a kind of dry, BBC historical drama.’ And they said, ‘No, no, no. We don’t want THAT!”’

A number of possible candidates were considered for what was now envisioned as a “reinvention-ofhistory show.” There was Cleopatra and Genghis Kahn, “and also on that short list, da Vinci came up,” recalls Goyer. “Then I realized, no one’s ever done a show about da Vinci! That’s crazy! People say he’s the most recognized figure in history other than Jesus Christ!” Recapturing 15th-century Florence, not to mention the highfalutin exploits of da Vinci, demands impressive visual effects, and Goyer set the bar high: “My goal was to be at least on par with the production values of Game of Thrones,” he says. But even as it recaptures the past, the show, like da Vinci, is forward-looking. “The central conflict is about who controls information,” Goyer says. “On the one hand, you’ve got the Vatican Secret Archives. The Church wants to control the information. On the other hand, shortly before our show starts, Gutenberg invented the printing press. “This is a modern-day touchstone that viewers can identify with. If da Vinci were alive today, his slogan would be, ‘Information wants to be free.”’ Online: http://www.starz.com/originals/davincisdemons

tin Bieber’s earliest ancestor, has learned how to create fire and also how to make designer blue jeans and footwear (apparently he invented Ugg boots). He’s also convinced that the world as he knows it is about to undergo a radical transformation — an Ice Age, maybe? — so he’s heading to the presumed safety of distant twin mountains. He tarries too long with the buxom Eep (there’s more than one flame sparking) and before Guy knows it, he’s got her entire family in tow for the trek to the misty mountains. Most of the family is up for the trip, but Grug is suspicious of Guy and his intentions. A cave collapse forces the issue but doesn’t smooth rocky relations. This should be more than enough material with which to craft a decent yarn, but The Croods doesn’t evolve much past its primitive design. The journey is colourful, with the landscape shifting from desert to tropics, but the family never seems to be at serious risk from wild animals that are more Seussian than scary. The filmmakers may have misjudged their audience. They aim low

And speaking of bad judgment, why have a sharp guy like Nicolas Cage voice a Neanderthal, whose brain cells can’t process much more than fearful warnings and bad jokes about mothers-in-law? You shouldn’t expect too much logic in a cartoon caveman story, but a few script inconsistencies rankle. Why have the Croods learned to talk and make clothing, but haven’t figure out how to make and use fire? And why are they so surprised when they discover a body of wa-

ter? What have they been using for liquids? On the plus side, The Croods avoids the crude humour that the title practically demands. And the film earns laughs from the antics of baby Sandy, who is like an attack version of Pebbles Flintstone, and

from the clownish dramatics of Guy’s monkey sidekick, which is fond of shouting dah-dah-dah! Just plain monkeying around beats knuckle dragging, any old time. Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

Eventually, he stopped coming home and went directly to the bar. I finally asked him to leave and not return unless he agreed to counseling. It was then that he admitted he is gay. I was relieved. I thought he would be happier now that he was being honest. But he is the same mean jerk to his partner, and he is still drinking. I now wish I had left him years before. I did an injustice to my kids by exposing them to his verbal abuse for so long.
