Flames force evacuations WILDFIRES THREATEN RESIDENTS AT NORDEGG, LODGEPOLE BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Nordegg residents were evacuated to Rocky Mountain House as a wildfire continued to edge closer to the hamlet in west Central Alberta. Clearwater County declared a local state of emergency and issued a mandatory evacuation around 6 p.m. on Sunday. The residents had been on a one-hour evacuation alert since May 9. An estimated 150 residents were evacuated to a curling rink in Rocky Mountain House. The wildfire has burned through roughly 272 acres of land, southwest of the Nordegg townsite since last week. An Alberta Sustainable Resource Development spokesperson said crews had the fire contained, but he said officials were poised to issue an evacuation order if the blaze had broken through any one of those containment points. More than 150 firefighters, various heavy equipment, six helicopters and air tankers continue to fight the fire. The wildfire is currently burning within about two kilometres of the nearest home. Another wildfire northwest of Nordegg forced the evacuation of residents in Lodgepole to Drayton Valley, about 50 kilometres away around the same time.

The fight to keep Michener Centre open is far from over. The Society of Parents and Friends of Michener Services hope the brakes will be put on Michener Centre’s closure at the end of a May 24 meeting with Frank Oberle, the associate minister of Services for Persons with Disabilities. Bill Lough, Society president, said they hope to table a stay of action or a moratorium at the meeting with the minister. Lough said there’s so many things happening outside the world of persons with developmental disabilities (PDD) with the cuts to programs and he doesn’t think the government is prepared to take on another 125 individuals. “We want things pulled back,” said Lough. “That’s what the province of Saskatchewan did. They are taking four years.” The province announced in March that the longserving residential dwellings for people with development disabilities will close and that its 125 residents will be relocated starting in September with a goal to have the residents moved by January 2014. The province has been consulting with families in each case. Seventy-five of Michener Centre’s 125 residents will be moved to group homes, and 50 medically fragile residents will be moved to seniors care facilities. About 110 residents are already living in Michener Hill group homes. Yet in 2008, the province told residents they could remain at Michener until they died. On Saturday about 150 guardians, family members, Michener staffers and supporters attended a meeting to regroup.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

RIDER: Hooked early But his own love from a very young age was motocross. Growing up around quads and bikes, when he first threw a leg over one, he was hooked. That is not to say it was easy learning to speed around a track without the benefit of a right hand. Only the clever usage of duct tape and zip ties allowed him to ride at first, before proper adaptations were made. “It was a lot of guess and test, trying to find the right setups from bars to bikes, to trying to figure out how to run the clutch and front brake all on one side. I actually rode for a long time without a front brake, only having a back brake. It’s only been five years since I’ve had a front brake; it’s been a nice change. “Technology has come a long way — it’s made my life a lot easier for sure. It’s made a lot of adaptive athletes’ lives a lot easier,” says Rochon. Today, Rochon’s custom bike has the throttle, clutch and front brake all on the left side. On the right side is a metal add-on where his arm end rests while riding. The rest of his bike is as standard as any other, and to watch Rochon race around a track is, it seems, to watch just another motocross racer. And maybe Rochon is just that, a normal adrenaline junkie on a slightly different bike. While he has twice qualified for the apex of extreme sports competition — the X Games — through success at the Extremity Games for disabled athletes, Rochon will ride a full summer schedule in 2013 on the professional circuit, hoping to qualify for nationals at the end of the season, having lost all competition last year due to a shattered kneecap. Technological advances have helped disabled athletes around the world compete against their able-bodied contemporaries, but Rochon credits the rise of disabled competitors to something more basic. “I think it’s just the drive and determination of athletes these days. ... If you want something bad enough and you believe in the process, success will come to you,” he says. A shop manager in Calgary by day, Rochon is also hoping to get into motivational speaking. Motivating seems to come naturally. “Every time I go to the track, whether it’s in California or Alberta, guys are interested. I’ve actually met a lot of marines in California who had no idea they could even be riding. “There’re also a lot of young athletes I’ve met who have lost a limb or, like me, have been born with a disability who have no idea they can go out and do whatever they want. As long as you can believe in yourself, anyone else can believe in you,” says Rochon. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

MICHENER: Families worried Since the closure announcement, there has been peaceful rallies, marches, MLA letter writing and petition campaigns over the last two months. “The fight is not over,” said Lough, noting a CBC article that alluded that families were softening their stance. Supporters at the meeting echoed Lough’s sentiments citing personal stories and their fears for the future of their loved ones. Lisa Kaye-Stanisky of Edmonton said she worried about the fate of her 61-year-old brother, Floyd, who has lived in Michener since he was five. Kaye-Stanisky is worried about how her brother who is blind and not verbal in fragile health will transition from his home where he is surrounded by people who care for him and love him to an unknown situation. “No matter what they tell me that they will find a bed or find someone who can look after him properly,” said the Edmonton resident. “ It isn’t going to happen.

One-handed professional motocross racer Devin Rochon of Calgary puts a glove on the end of right arm while preparing for a training session at the Alix Xtreme Raceway this week.

Alix track open four days a week Growing up racing, the Alix Xtreme Raceway was Devin Rochon’s favourite track. The dirt is good, he said, and the many elevation changes in the layout made Rochon a fan. It is a good endorsement to have, said Xtreme Raceways owner Greg Martens, as Rochon serves as a positive motocross influence on young riders. But Rochon will not be able to ride at the track in any Canadian Motocross Racing Circuit competitions this year. The track has hosted three circuit races in past summers, but due to a health issue and painful knee injury for Martens, there will not be such races at the track near Alix in 2013. Despite that, the Alberta Oldtimers will be racing the track on July 20-21, and Martens is gearing up for another good season of rec-

reational riding at the track. “We’ve had some really good recreational numbers (in the last few years). It’s all very positive. I look forward to what this season brings and what the next couple will as well,” he said. Lacombe County limits the hours the track can be ridden — the track is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and on two or three Sundays a month. It is also open on all holiday Mondays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The operating hours are based on a 2009 compromise reached by Lacombe County, weighing the opinions of track advocates and area residents who are no fan of the noise and dust from the bikes. A track schedule and more information is available at www.xtremeraceways.com.

aren’t staff supports out there in long-term care to deal with long-term care ... In long-term care, they (will) manage his care. In Michener Centre they care for him in his home. It’s a very, very different picture to me.” Jon Siebert’s brother Paul will turn 60 next week and has lived in Michener since he was five years old. Siebert learned about Michener’s pending closure through the media. “Paul cannot speak for himself so they need to speak to me,” said Siebert, who lives in Saskatchewan. “I am his representative. We take it very personal this insult that has happened to us. We weren’t even consulted or told. People in the community knew before we did. That’s very upsetting to us.” Siebert quoted a government letter dated a few years ago that said “individuals with the assistance of families and guardians will be the primary resource for identifying what is best for themselves and what kind of supports they require” and “no one currently living at Michener will be forced to move.” The province says it will save $110,000 per person when the 125 residents are moved out and the $1.4 million in savings would be reinvested in the PDD system. The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees

(AUPE) will host another rally in Red Deer on May 23. This week, AUPE will present its petition at the Alberta legislature protesting the closure with an estimated 4,000 signatures. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Approach leans toward healing, accountability BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

Better oil price needed for emissions controls to work EXTRA REVENUE WOULD ALLOW COMPANIES TO INVEST HEAVILY IN LEADING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD CURTAIL POLLUTION: KENT BY HEATHER SCOFFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The ability of the oil and gas sector to absorb tough government controls on their greenhouse gas emissions depends on Canada getting a better price for its oil, Environment Minister Peter Kent says. The extra revenue would allow companies to invest heavily in leading-edge technology that would curtail pollution, he said in an interview from London. “What we have to do, one way or another, is get rid of the U.S. discount,” Kent said. “That would certainly provide great latitude to invest in the technology....Keystone or not.” Government and industry have long eyed the proposed — but not yet approved — Keystone XL pipeline as a way to demand world prices for Canadian crude. For now, Canadian crude is sold in the U.S. at a price that fluctuates but is substantially lower than in global markets. A new pipeline to the Texas coast, the theory goes, would give Alberta oil better market access, thereby reducing the Canadian price discount. While some parts of the oil and gas industry could already afford the extra costs that would come with pending emissions regulations, that’s not true across the

board, Kent said. But the Keystone XL pipeline is not a slam-dunk, since environmentalists eye the project as a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions from Canada. Reports this weekend suggested more delays in a final decision, which was initially expected this summer. “It is a problem if it’s unnecessarily delayed,” Kent said, adding that he still respects the U.S. process. “I still hope for a positive decision sooner rather than later.” TransCanada Corp. has said regulatory delays would substantially drive up costs and postpone startup until late 2015. Ottawa, meanwhile, is pulling out all the stops to find better market access for Canadian crude. Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver has just finished pleading Canada’s case in Europe. Kent is following in his footsteps all this week. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is jetting down to New York on Thursday to make the case to Wall Street. Key to their case is the argument that Canada is well advanced in its plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and is developing oil and gas in a responsible manner. Buy-in for that argument would

go a long way towards giving the oilsands the social license they need for pipeline approvals. But Harper, Kent and Oliver are making the case with one hand tied behind their backs. That’s because the actual regulations that will force the oil and gas sector to improve its emissions record are gummed up in negotiations among Ottawa, industry players and the provinces. “It would be nice to be able to pull it out of a hat and show it off....but we want to make sure it’s right,” Kent said. “It would certainly play well in meetings like that.” He said the negotiations are going well, but he would not give any details. After months and months of talks, a variety of complex proposals are on the table, most of which would cost oil producers less than 50 cents a barrel but may put a strain on refineries where profit margins are slim. Instead, the Harper government’s quest for social license is focusing on emissions rules already placed on the coal sector, as well as technological advances that companies are undertaking on their own accord in the oil patch. Kent says he will be talking up Imperial Oil’s Kearl project which promises emissions only slightly higher than conventional oil.

For a young offender, meeting his victim face-toface can be tougher than any jail sentence. Just ask one of Canada’s best known restorative justice mediators Jean-Jacques Beauchamp. Beauchamp has seen it time and time again. Since 1996 Beauchamp has run a very successful youth restorative justice program out of Innisfail. This approach to justice emphasizes victim healing, accountability of offenders and the involvement of citizens in creating healthier and safer communities. Jean-Jacques Many of the restorative justice Beauchamp cases involve non-violent crime, such as shoplifting, theft and mischief. Young offenders must meet with a panel of community members including the victim who all have a say in his or her sentencing. Last year, the young offenders put in roughly 4,200 hours of community service as part of their sentencing in Innisfail. “Does it work? You bet,” said Beauchamp, who has an extensive background in conflict resolution and developed Correction Canada’s conflict management process in the prison system. “It works so well.” Beauchamp estimated that 95 per cent of the youth who go through the program in Innisfail stay on the right path. He said there is no lawyer or anyone else who will speak for the youth when he meets the victim. The offender has to own up and take responsibility. “Nobody will talk for you,” said Beauchamp. “That’s pretty tough. He learns by his mistakes and how many people he hurt. In a court system you don’t do that. To me, it’s far from soft (on crime).” Beauchamp said the impact of how much an offender has hurt a victim is a powerful tool that you do not hear in a court system. Beauchamp said they are not there to punish him or to coddle the offender but for rehabilitation. “It’s amazing the way it works,” said Beauchamp. “The outcome is amazing. It really, really is.” Beaucamp said often victims feel they are targeted and when they learn that is not the case they feel better and often forgive the offender. In Innisfail the panel holds a meeting with an offender and victims on Wednesdays. The offender must call in once a week to speak with a team member. Beauchamp said the initiative works well in rural and smaller communities because everyone is invested. He said the program can work in larger centres like Red Deer but in a different model. “We mentor and that makes a big difference,” said Beauchamp. “After three months, we are going to have a relationship.” Beauchamp has seen first hand the hundreds of success stories. He still receives phone calls and letters from men and women who have turned their lives. Beauchamp was one of two keynote speakers at the Restorative Justice Conference hosted by the Red Deer Youth Justice Committee at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre on Saturday. Corinne Anderson, community and professional development co-ordinator, said the committee has been offender focused in the past trying to get the offender on the right side of the law and get them to be responsible for what they have done. Anderson said the committee is moving toward including the victim more in the process and into the sanctions in Red Deer. Beauchamp is helping the Red Deer committee in the process. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Feds announce plans to close Business to have role in Arctic debates, says Aglukkaq B.C. farming research station THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The federal government has notified employees of a 78-year-old agricultural research station in the Kamloops area that they’ll be out of a job. The station is being closed as part of an effort to consilidate federal beef research operations in Alberta. Despite attempts to save the facility by switching research from cattle to grasslands and the environment, the government is closing it for good. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod calls the announcement disappointing because the research has been important for ranchers in the area, and will mean the loss of 14 jobs. The general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Asso-

ciation, Kevin Boon, says the closure will hurt the province’s cattle industry at a time when it’s trying to promote B.C. beef as a premium product. He says the facility played a key role in getting information into the hands of farmers who worked the land to supply food. The federal govern-

ment is handing the responsibility over grasslands research to the provinces and consolidating its federal beef research facilities in Alberta. A representative from Agriculture and AgriFoods Canada was not immediately available for comment.

Creating a bigger presence for industry at the world’s premiere international forum on northern issues won’t distract from its work on environmental problems, says the Conservative cabinet minister about to lead the group. “Absolutely not,” said Leona Aglukkaq, who will assume the chairmanship of the group of the eight nations that ring the North Pole starting on Wednesday. “That research, the work of interest to all the Arctic regions, that will continue during our chairmanship.” Central to Aglukkaq’s plans for her two-year term heading the Arctic Council is the creation of an arctic business forum, which she described as a way for northerners and northern business to share ideas and solutions. “We have a number of trade shows globally — Detroit cars, whatever — in different parts of the world and it’s all south,” she said. “What I’m proposing is a trade show forum, a business forum of Arctic to Arctic, an opportunity for private industry to exchange information on best practices on permafrost, on shipping, all of that. “I think that’s a vital piece that’s missing from the research that’s being done today.” Emphasizing local development would be a change for the council. In the 16 years since its creation in Ottawa, it has focused on international issues such as its 2011 search and rescue treaty and a pact on oil spill prevention expected to be signed Wednesday. It has also conducted important circumpolar environmental research. Last week, it released the first major study on the acidification of the Arctic

Ocean from greenhouse gases. But Aglukkaq — an Inuk from Gjoa Haven, Nunavut — said it’s time the council addressed the immediate concerns of northerners. “We can do science and research but if we’re going to make fully informed decisions we have to ask industry how are we doing? I feel we have to close that gap.” A bigger role for the private sector could be useful, said Sara French of the Munk-Gordon Arctic Security program at the University of Toronto. She points out that it could be a private cruise ship that responds to a marine disaster. “You have to look at the assets private sectors bring to bear because often, they’re the ones with boots on the ground,” she said. “It’s important to understand the role of the private sector in the North.” More important, she said, would be Canadian efforts to live up to the promises they’ve already made, such as buying search-and-rescue airplanes that would enable it to respond to crises in its part of the North. The council also needs a better funding mechanism to enable it to handle everything on its plate, French said. But the council is the wrong body to address economic development, said Michael Byers, an Arctic policy expert and onetime federal New Democrat candidate who teaches international law at the University of British Columbia. “If you look at the Canadian government’s agenda, the development of northern communities, it’s almost exclusively the responsibility of the individual nation-states of the Arctic,” he said. “It’s not something that is necessarily going to be magnified greatly by cooperation between the nation-states.”

Profit, science don’t mix BY ARYA SHARMA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Over the past 30 years that I have worked as a researcher in academic institutions, I have received millions of dollars in public and private funding. Yet, I hold no patent, I have not started a company and I cannot point to any commercial product that has emerged from my laboratory. The federal government, given its current push to align scientific funding with industry aims via the National Research Council (NRC), may look at this as an irresponsible waste of time and resources. I beg to differ. The notion of focusing on “commercialization” of scientific enterprise is based on a fundamental misconception of how science works. This misconception is largely based on confusing the role and motivation of the scientist with that of the inventor. While the scientist is primarily motivated by the desire to understand how things work, inventors are driven by the desire to make things work. While the latter lends itself to patents and commercialization, the former does not. Yet, without the former, there is nothing for the inventor to patent or

commercialize. Let me explain: The discovery of electricity and how it works is the work of scientists — harnessing this knowledge to create the light bulb (or your iPhone) is the job of inventors. Both have significant importance, but the roles are fundamentally different. Understanding why some people get high blood pressure and how this leads to strokes and heart attacks is the work of scientists — developing an instrument to measure blood pressure or a drug to lower pressure is the work of inventors. Not only does discovery science generally not lend itself to patents, but protecting scientific discovery with patents will in fact stifle the very commercialization it is meant to promote. Scientific discovery or understanding how things work should necessarily be public information. It should not be protected by patents nor should it play out behind closed doors. In contrast, inventions (based on ideas that emerge from scientific discovery) deserve patents and protection to ensure returns on commercialization. Funding the scientific discovery is in the public interest because it creates the knowledge base that allows industry to invent and commercialize products that drive economic growth.

In itself, however, scientific discovery does not (nor should it) be the object of patents or commercialization. When a scientist discovers a new molecule that promotes the growth of cancer cells, it opens the field to the pharmaceutical industry to manipulate this molecule to create a new cancer drug that can be protected by patents and lead to commercial revenue for whichever company comes up with the best product to do so. For this to happen, it is, in fact, essential that the discovery of the new molecule itself not be subject to a patent or protection. Rather, it is the very fact that this new discovery is now common knowledge that allows all pharmaceutical companies to compete in trying to be the first to come up with a drug that works. Patenting or otherwise protecting the discovery of that molecule, thereby allowing its use only by a company that funded part of the research or is willing to pay for a license eliminates competition and can only stifle progress. Thus, for scientific discovery to stimulate commercialization and economic growth it has to be open and available to anyone who wishes to use it to create a product that creates new jobs, new revenues and opens new markets. This is why paying for scien-

tific discovery is in the public interest and a good use of tax-payers’ money, whereas paying industry to make inventions is not. This important difference is also reflected in how scientists and inventors differ in their approach to science. Discovery scientists pursue new knowledge and compete in being the first to publish scientific papers, in the process bringing new knowledge into the public domain. Inventors, work on using this new knowledge and compete to bring new products or services to market. The reward for the former is academic recognition and perhaps the Nobel prize — the reward for the latter is a healthy bank account (only rarely do the two overlap). While it makes good sense for governments to pay for scientific discovery, they should leave the funding and commercialization of products and services to the inventors in industry. This division of scientific enterprise has served us well in the past — it would continue to serve us in the future.

Bhutan redefines progress as happiness My parents lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s and were profoundly affected by it. They taught us to work hard to earn a living, live within our means, save for tomorrow, share and not be greedy and help our neighbours because one day we might need their help. Those homilies and teachings seem quaint in today’s world of credit cards, hyper-consumption and massive debt. Society has undergone huge changes since the Second World War. Our lives have been transformed by jet travel, oral contraceptives, plastics, satellites, television, cellphones, computers and digital technology. We seem endlessly adaptable DAVID as we adjust to the impacts SUZUKI of these new technologies, products and ideas. We only become aware of how dependant on them we are when they malfunction (work comes to a standstill when the network goes down) or don’t exist (when we visit a “developing country”). Most of the time, we can’t even imagine a way of living beyond being endlessly occupied with making money to get more stuff to make our lives “easier.” But some people have had the benefit of directly comparing a simpler way with the accelerated societies we’ve created. In the mid-20th century, the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan, hidden deep in the Himalayas between China and India, emerged from three hundred years of isolation. In 1961, the third king of Bhutan started sending students to schools in India. From there, some went on to Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and other universities. The first of their

nation to encounter Western society after three centuries of separation, those young people clearly saw the contrast in values. Upon returning to Bhutan, they expressed shock that, in the West, “development” and “progress” were measured in terms of money and material possessions. At a 1972 international conference in India, a reporter asked Bhutan’s king about his country’s gross national product — a measure of economic activity. His response was semi-facetious: He said Bhutan’s priority was not the GNP but GNH — gross national happiness. Bhutan’s government has since taken the concept of GNH seriously and galvanized thinking around the world with the notion that the economy should serve people, not the other way around. In 2004, Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, who became king in late 2006, said, “There cannot be enduring peace, prosperity, equality and brotherhood in this world if our aims are so separate and divergent — if we do not accept that in the end we are people, all alike, sharing the earth among ourselves and also with other sentient beings.” In July 2011, Bhutan introduced the only resolution it has ever presented at the United Nations. Resolution 65/309 was called “Happiness: towards a holistic approach to development.” The country’s position was “that the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal” and “that the gross domestic product ... does not adequately reflect the happiness and well-being of people.” The General Assembly passed the resolution unanimously. It was “intended as a landmark step towards adoption of a new global sustainability-based economic paradigm for human happiness and well-being of all life forms to replace the current dysfunctional system that is based on the unsustainable premise of limitless growth on a finite planet.” That empowered Bhutan to convene a high-level

meeting. I was delighted when its leaders asked me to serve on a working group charged with defining happiness and well-being, and developing ways to measure these states and strategies. Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley even cited the David Suzuki Foundation’s “Declaration of Interdependence” as an inspiration for the proposal. The Bhutanese understand that well-being and happiness depend on a healthy environment. They vow to protect 60 per cent of forest cover in their country, are already carbon-neutral (they generate electricity from hydro) and have vowed to make their entire agriculture sector organic. They have snow leopards, elephants, rhinos, tigers and valleys of tree-sized rhododendrons – and know their happiness depends on protecting them. The people of this tiny nation see that money and hyper-consumption aren’t what contribute to happiness and well-being. I’m proud to be part of the important initiative they’ve embarked upon, and look forward to the work leading up to a presentation to the UN by 2015.

RCMP looking at Senate expense claims FOLLOWING AUDIT, CRITICAL COMMITTEE REPORT BY JIM BRONSKILL THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The RCMP says it is examining senators’ expense claims following an independent audit and pointed reports from the upper chamber’s internal economy committee. But the Mounties stressed Sunday it was too early to know whether they will open a full-fledged investigation into accusations that three senators improperly claimed a housing allowance. At issue is whether Conservative Mike Duffy, former Conservative Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Mac Harb were truly eligible for the allowance, intended to compensate senators who must maintain a secondary residence in Ottawa. The matter is currently with the RCMP national division’s sensitive and international investigations section, said Sgt. Julie Gagnon, a force spokeswoman. Based upon an evaluation of the information at hand, the RCMP “may or may not initiate an investigation,” she said. “The RCMP is not in a position to comment further on this specific matter at this time.” Generally, the RCMP would confirm an investigation only in the event that it results in criminal charges, Gagnon said. “Should the investigation not generate sufficient evidence to support the laying of criminal charges, the RCMP would conclude its file.” Confirmation the RCMP is looking into the matter capped days of charged debate, finger-pointing and speculation over the contentious issue of Senate entitlements. Directed by the Senate’s internal economy committee to study the work and travel patterns of the three senators, independent auditor Deloitte concluded Duffy, Brazeau and Harb live primarily in the national capital region, but that the rules governing housing claims were unclear. Still, the Tory-dominated committee said in the cases of Harb and Brazeau the rules were “amply clear,” and that the two senators must pay back the housing allowances they claimed. Under the rules, senators whose “primary residence” is more than 100 kilometres from the national capital region may claim legitimate travel expenses as well as living expenses while in the capital for Senate business. The committee’s reports on both Brazeau and Harb say that “plainly, if a Senator resides primarily in the (national capital region), he or she should not be claiming living expenses for the (region).” No such language was used in the committee report on Duffy, which noted he had voluntarily repaid $90,172 in allowance monies. That led Senate Opposition leader James Cowan to accuse the Conservatives of going easy on Duffy, a high-profile former television journalist appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to represent Prince Edward Island. Harb listed a home in Westmeath, Ont., northwest of Ottawa, as his chief residence. He has signalled he will go to court to fight an order to reply $51,500, and has resigned from the Liberal caucus in the meantime. Brazeau, who claimed a primary residence in Maniwaki, Que., was kicked out of the Conservative caucus this year after being charged with assault and sexual assault. Cowan said Sunday he would welcome an RCMP probe of the housing allowance claims. “My personal preference is that they do that,” the Liberal senator said in an interview. “I’ve always felt that, when you have a situation like this and you’ve got large sums of public money involved, that if it looks like the Senate is simply closing ranks around its own, that that is a difficult concept to sell.” Cowan said members of the public he’s heard from are “puzzled and they’re angry.” Having said this, he feels the Senate handled the matter appropriately by calling in the external auditors.

B.C. kids not influenced by parents’ voting behaviour MOCK ELECTIONS

CANADA

BRIEFS

Two women campers scare off bear

THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — If school children could vote, the New Democrats would have swept into power long ago in British Columbia, where students buck the national trend in mock elections. While actual voters elected Liberal governments in 2005 and 2009, kids across the province favoured the NDP in parallel elections, which ran alongside the real one and involved thousands of students from Grade 1 through high school. Today, a day before adult British Columbians head to the polls, more than 100,000 school children will cast fake ballots that the program’s “chief electoral officer” will tally and keep secret until the official election results are in on Tuesday. Taylor Gunn, founder of the Student Vote program, which has operated for 10 years and collected more than three million ballots in 19 mock elections across Canada, said he’s curious to see what B.C. students will decide this year. In almost every parallel election outside B.C., students elected the same government as their parents and other adult voters. Even in the Alberta election last year, when pollsters predicted a Wild Rose victory over the long-ruling Progressive Conservatives, Gunn’s 82,000 student ballots told a different story. “Our results clearly said it was going to be an Alison Redford majority,” Gunn said of the Progressive Conservative leader who was elected. “This was at the time when everybody was trying to convince each other that (Wild Rose Leader Danielle) Smith was going to be the next premier,” he said from Toronto. There’s no way to know for sure why kids vote the way they do, or why B.C. students have bucked the national trend of mimicking adult voters and positioned themselves further left on the political spectrum.

COCHRANE, Ont. — A 30-year-old man is in hospital in stable condition after a bear attack in northern Ontario. Two women who were camping witnessed the attack just before noon Saturday about 10 kilometres south of Cochrane and called police. They are credited with scaring off the bear before driving the victim to a hospital. A ground and air search was started by provincial police and conservation officers. The aggressive bear was located and for public safety concerns was put down.

Chaya Rasmidatta (left) stands in front of her Green Party poster that she made along with Ben Horodyski and Abbey O’brien in front of their NDP poster in Kerrisdale Elementary School in Vancouver, Wednesday May 8, 2013. If school children could vote, the New Democrats would have swept into power long ago in British Columbia, where students buck the national trend in mock elections. But in the halls of Kerrisdale Elementary School in Vancouver, where fake campaign posters are plastered on bulletin boards, it’s clear that at least a few would-be political science majors know how to form their own opinions on the issues. Grade 7 student Ben Horodyski said he’s planning to vote NDP because “they support education and children.” Horodyski said he refuses to vote for Christy Clark because, in his view, she caused a teachers’ strike. “I’m one of the few kids that actually likes school,” he said. Horodyski said he appreciates the NDP’s focus on students and poverty reduction. “If families go into poverty, if my family went into poverty, they will always be supported.” But Abby Johnston, also in Grade 7, plans to cast her fake ballot Monday for the Liberal party. Johnston said she chose to research the Liberal platform on education for her class assignment. “They’re trying to invest in better education

now for jobs in the future,” she said. “I think a lot of kids are concerned about what their future is going to look like.” Johnson said her parents didn’t influence her decision to vote Liberal. “I don’t know that everybody talks about politics at home,” she said. Gunn said fostering political dialogue between parents and children is one reason his non-profit, called Civix, has focused on the mockelection program. “What we worry about is those families where parents are not talking to their kids about politics or democracy. “There is an obvious problem with voter turnout and it doesn’t seem as complicated to fix as people are making it out to be,” Gunn said. “It’s kind of like math or science, or counting your change. It’s something we think people should be learning in school. But it’s also how you learn it that makes it either effective or not.” “We thought the best way for kids to learn this and become voters was to experience their democracy, not just study about it.”

Effort afoot in court to sue Canadians for illegal downloads BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Massive lawsuits targeting people who illegally download copyrighted content are common in the U.S., where people have been stuck with hefty fines and out-of-court settlements. Now there’s an attempt to bring that to Canada. At the center of the effort is Canipre, the only anti-piracy enforcement firm that provides forensic services to copyright-holders in Canada. The Montreal-based firm has been monitoring Canadian users’ downloading of pirated content for several months. It has now gathered more than one million different evidence files, according to its managing director Barry Logan. One of its clients is now before Federal Court in Toronto, requesting customer information for over 1,000 IP addresses — a user’s unique Internet signature — collected by Canipre. That client is the American studio Voltage Pictures, maker of hundreds of films including the Academy Awardwinning “Hurt Locker.” On the other side of the case is Teksavvy, an Ontario-based Internet provider. The IP addresses flagged by Canipre link back to its users. The case is set to resume next month. If the court orders Teksavvy to hand over customer info, it could be the beginning of a new chapter in the anti-piracy battle in Canada. “We have a long list of clients waiting to go to court,” said Canipre’s Logan, who estimates that about 100 different companies are paying close attention to the case. These lawsuits have been common in the U.S. Between 200,000 and 250,000 people have been sued in the last two years, according to one Internet civilliberties group. “They send off threatening letters telling them, ’If you don’t pay up we’re going to name you in this lawsuit and you could be on the hook for up to

$150,000 in damages,”’ said Corynne McSherry, intellectual property director of that group, the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Canadians don’t risk such severe damages, because of a bill passed last year that modified the federal Copyright Act. Bill C-11 imposed a limit of $5,000 on damages awarded for non-commercial copyright infringement, which applies to the average consumer who downloads films. “The reason Parliament did that (is) they didn’t want the courts to be used in this way,” said David Fewer, director of the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic. The advocacy group is an intervenor in the Toronto case. “Copyright is supposed to be a framework legislation. It’s not supposed to be used for building a compensation model.” He says the phenomenon of file-sharing suits is relatively new in Canada. He said there has only been a single file-sharing lawsuit in Canada, launched by the music industry. The case, BMG Canada Inc. vs. John Doe, was launched in 2004, and it failed. Fewer said no similar attempts have been made — until now. “I’m a little bit surprised to see this (new) litigation popping up in Canada. We typically don’t have a culture in Canada for this kind of use of courts,” Fewer said. For now, Canipre is the only Canadian firm providing this type of service. And it’s proud of the work it does. “We understand the culture of piracy,” Logan said, adding that he has been involved in numerous IP-related litigation cases across Canada. “We’re bringing that model up here as a means to change social attitudes toward downloading,” said the Canipre executive. “Many people know it is illegal but they continue to do it.” The company advertises its ability to conduct “aggressive takedown campaigns” for clients.

Students at Kerrisdale Elementary had a chance to experience democracy when NDP candidate Nicholas Scapillati visited the school. They lobbed tough questions at the candidate based on their research. “When there are candidate forums in the schools, (the students) grill the candidates in a way that those candidates are not usually grilled,” Gunn said. “Part of that is due to the fact that kids have studied the issues and the platforms before they arrive. “They are not already established somewhere on the political spectrum.” Abby O’Brien said Scapillati’s visit swayed her position. The 12-year-old said she liked what the NDP candidate had to say and thinks his party offers a more comprehensive platform compared to the Green party, which has the support of many of her peers. Her classmate Chaya Rasmidatta said she plans to vote Green. “I’m with the environment and pollution is not good,” Rasmidatta said.

VANCOUVER — Victoria police are asking for help from the public to locate some historical artifacts that were stolen from a local cathedral on Saturday night. Constable Mike Russell says investigators are trying to track down those involved with the latenight theft of what are described as priceless artifacts from Christ Church Cathedral just before 10 p.m. He says several items dating back to the 17th century were taken, including gold and silver chalices, Canadian coins, a small communion plate and a mote spoon. Russell says cathedral representatives have told him the items have little monetary value and they hope to have the items returned. He says a forensic identification team has also process the scene to gather evidence.

Mounties search continues for convenience store shooter VANCOUVER — Surrey RCMP are searching for a suspect who is believed to have been involved with a convenience store shooting. Staff Sergeant Blair McColl says officers were called to a Mac’s convenience store around 11 p.m. on Saturday, where they found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. McColl says the man was taken to a local hospital but so far has not co-operated with police. He says investigators are in the early stages of determining what happened, and have used a helicopter and police dog to try to track down the shooter.

Police watchdog probes Skytrain shooting SURREY, B.C. — B-C’s police watchdog is reviewing a shooting incident at a Surrey Skytrain station. The Independent Investigations Office says a man was shot during a confrontation with Surrey RCMP officers. The agency says officers were called to the Scott Road station Saturday evening after receiving word that a man was threatening passengers on a train. One local media report says the man was threatening passengers with a knife, but that is not confirmed. The wounded man was taken to hospital for treatment but a news release from the agency didn’t indicate what his condition is. The Independent Investigations Office must be contacted in incidents where police involved that result in death or serious injury.

Leafs stave off elimination LINDEN GAYDOSH

GAYDOSH GOING TO NFL? The Hamilton TigerCats will have to wait to get defensive tackle Linden Gaydosh into their lineup. The first overall pick at this month’s CFL draft has signed as a free agent with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. Gaydosh’s agent, Darren Gill, announced the signing on Twitter on Sunday. The six-foot-three, 314pound Gaydosh signed the NFL deal after attending the Panthers’ rookie camp over the weekend as an undrafted free agent. Gaydosh, who played collegiately at the University of Calgary, is the latest Canadian to ink an NFL deal. Regina defensive tackle Stefan Charles and McMaster offensive lineman Matt Sewell (both with the Tennessee Titans), Eastern Michigan defensive lineman Andy Mulumba (Green Bay Packers) and Wagner linebacker C.O. Prime (Indianapolis Colts) all signed with their NFL clubs prior to the CFL draft.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Maple Leafs 2 Bruins 1 TORONTO — Captain Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel scored third-period goals as the surging Toronto Maple Leafs edged the Boston Bruins 2-1 Sunday night to send their playoff series back to Boston for Game 7. Not only did the win keep the Leafs alive, it snapped a 54-year period of home playoff failure against the Bruins. Toronto’s last home playoff win against Boston was March 31, 1959, when the Leafs won 3-2 in overtime. Nine straight post-season home losses followed in the decades since with Boston outscoring Toronto 38-24. Game 7 is Monday night in Boston. Milan Lucic scored for Boston with 26 seconds left in the third. The only time Toronto has come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the series was the 1942 Stanley Cup final against the Detroit Red Wings. The Leafs trailed 3-0 in that series before reeling off four straight wins. Toronto’s last Game 7 win was in 2004 — the last time the Leafs made the playoffs — when it beat Ottawa 4-1 to wrap up their first-round series. The Leafs will have momentum in their corner this time. The Bruins’ companion will be self-doubt after a second failed attempt at closing out the series and a recent playoff history of making life difficult for themselves. James Reimer was again steady in the Toronto net, making 29 saves to earn the win. For Phaneuf, scoring was sweet redemption after being involved in the play that led to the Bruins’ overtime winner in Game 4.

Tiger Woods gives a thumbs-up as he holds the trophy after winning The Players Championship golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass, Sunday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — A weekend filled with sharp words between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia came down to one last showdown Sunday in The Players Championship, this one staged across the water in a tiny, terrifying section of the TPC Sawgrass. Tied for the lead with two holes to play, Woods kept his shots on land and made two pars. Garcia hit three balls into the water for a quadruple bogey-double bogey finish. If there was special satisfaction in beating Garcia again, Woods kept that to himself. What mattered was having a chance to win, closing it out like he does so often, and capturing the richest prize on the PGA Tour for the first time in a dozen years. “We just go out there and play,” Woods said. “I had an opportunity to win the golf tournament when I was tied for the lead today, and I thought I handled the situation well and really played well today when I really needed to. And that’s something I’m excited

about it.” Woods allowed the final hour to turn into a tense duel by hooking his tee shot into the water on the 14th hole for double bogey. But his short game bailed him out to save par on the 15th and make a critical birdie on the 16th, and he was solid on the final two holes for a 2-under 70. If only it were that simple for the Spaniard. Garcia was standing on the 17th tee shot, staring across to the island green to watch Woods make his par. He took aim at the flag with his wedge and hung his head when he saw the ball splashed down short of the green. Then, Garcia hit another one in the water on his way to a quadruplebogey 7. The meltdown was complete when Garcia hit his tee shot into the water on the 18th. “It’s always nice to have a chance at beating the No. 1 player in the world, but unfortunately for me, I wasn’t able to this week,” Garcia said. Woods was in the scoring trailer when he watched on TV as Swedish rookie David Lingmerth missed a long

birdie putt that would have forced a playoff. It raced by the cup, and Lingmerth three-putted for bogey. “How about that?” Woods said to his caddie, Joe LaCava as he gave him a hug. Woods finished on 13-under 275. He won The Players for the first time since 2001 and became the fifth multiple winner at Sawgrass since The Players moved to this former swamp in 1982. It was his 78th career win on the PGA Tour, four short of the record held by Sam Snead. And it was his first time winning with his girlfriend, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, at the tournament. Lingmerth closed with a 72 and finished two shots behind along with Kevin Streelman (67) and Jeff Maggert, who also was tied for the lead until finding the water on the 17th to make double bogey. The 49-year-old Maggert birdied the 18th for a 70. Garcia took 13 shots to cover the final two holes — 6-over par — and tumbled into a tie for eighth.

Winterhawks win WHL championship THE CANADIAN PRESS Winterhawks 5 Oil Kings 1 EDMONTON — The Portland Winterhawks earned some redemption in the Western Hockey League final. After reaching the final three years in a row, the Winterhawks finally won the Ed Chynoweth Cup with a 5-1 victory over the defending champion Edmonton Oil Kings in Game 6 on Sunday. Last season the Winterhawks lost out to the Oil Kings in a 4-3 series decision, and the year previous to the Kootenay Ice by a 4-1 margin. “To win a championship, never mind getting here two times before and losing, it’s very special,” said Portland head coach Travis Green. “We had a real determined group this year. We had a real mature group this year for such a young team. You learn a lot when you get here twice and lose. I think we did a lot of learning and our group was real even-keeled this year.” Ty Rattie’s hat trick, which included a pair of short-handed goals, led Portland, with Oliver Bjorkstrand and Taylor Leier adding singles. “(Rattie’s) a special player and we really needed a big game out of Ty tonight,” added Green. “You get to this point in the season your best players have to be your best players to win.” Travis Ewanyk had the lone goal for Edmonton. “It’s a tough way to go out but we’re very

proud of the group of kids in there,” said Edmonton head coach Derek Laxdal. “The kids were focused today to start the game, we earned some scoring chances. Without the short-handed goals it could be a different game. Portland really shut down our power play in the series... I wouldn’t say it was the difference, but it definitely didn’t help. It’s tough to get back to the finals after winning it. I appreciate what this team did and I’m very proud of them. ” Ewanyk was credited with opening up the scoring just 1:04 into the contest, but it was a potentially disastrous own goal off Winterhawk defender Derrick Pouliot. Mac Carruth made the initial left pad save off Ewanyk’s wrister, but as Pouliot picked up the rebound the puck drifted off his stick at the side of the net and straight into goal. But Portland’s penalty kill made up for it with two straight short-handed goals on the same double minor to Chase De Leo for high sticking. Nicolas Petan forced the turnover at 4:28 off Edmonton defender Martin Gernat, then fed it out in front to a waiting Rattie who tied the game at one apiece. Then at 7:15, Rattie burst into the zone and around the net to finish a short-handed wraparound, giving Portland the 2-1 edge. “Those are two of my favourite goals of my career,” smiled Rattie. “My dad told me before the game that big players come out in big games and I wanted to step up for my team.” “This team came back from losses ev-

ery night and we pulled through tonight, I couldn’t be happier for the boys. It’s beyond special, it’s an amazing feeling. It’s the time of my life and my junior career with these guys. This year to finish it off, it’s something I’m never going to forget. ” Bjorkstrand doubled the Portland lead at 3:54 of the second, his wrist shot from the right wing just squeaking under the glove arm of Edmonton netminder Laurent Brossoit. Curtis Lazar had Edmonton’s best chance of the second to pull back within one, streaking in alone halfway through the period but defied by the well-timed poke check of Carruth. After the save, the Edmonton bench seemed to start deflating. “Our core group of guys here for the past two years... it’s tough knowing half our team is going to be moving on next year,” said Lazar. “We really thought it was our year and we left it out on the ice. You could look at it a lot of ways, bounces... that could’ve changed the series. But it is what it is. We were reluctant to shoot the puck, and you look at our intensity... they get those two shorties and it really sunk us. But Portland’s a heck of a team, good luck to them (in the Memorial Cup).” Rattie finished off the hat trick with his 20th of the playoffs at 13:25. Petan corralled a bouncing puck in the Edmonton zone and whipped it across to Rattie for the wideopen net.

Lundqvist lifts Rangers past Caps FORCES SERIES TO WINNER-TAKE-ALL GAME SEVEN IN WASHINGTON BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rangers 1 Capitals 0 NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Henrik Lundqvist slammed his stick in disgust when an overtime loss in Washington put the New York Rangers on the brink of elimination. Two days later, the star goalie pumped his arm and let out an emphatic yell when his shutout kept the Rangers alive and set up a Game 7 in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Lundqvist was the difference Sunday in stopping 27 shots for his seventh NHL playoff shutout. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner was perfect in making Derick Brassardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-period goal stand up in a 1-0 victory over the Capitals that forced a deciding game in the first-round, Eastern Conference series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed it. There was desperation out there,â&#x20AC;? Lundqvist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We showed a lot of character and worked really hard. It was that type of game where you pay the price â&#x20AC;&#x201D; big saves, physical. Great win.â&#x20AC;? Despite having little room for error, the Rangers stayed composed and played a disciplined game in which they took no penalties until a big scrum after the final buzzer. Now the Rangers hope that can carry over to Game 7 on Monday night in Washington, where they have lost three times in this tight series. The home team has won all six games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They play really well at home and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident,â&#x20AC;? Lundqvist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The games weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played in that building, special teams have played a big part. We played a really disciplined game, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be key for us because they have a really good power play, so you have to respect that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Play hard, but play smart.â&#x20AC;? The Rangers earned Game

7 wins at home in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoffs over Ottawa and Washington. If they pull out this victory, it would give them just their second series win after falling behind 0-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are just going to have the same mentality we had coming into this game,â&#x20AC;? Brassard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just played our game, had fun. The guys were relaxed, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need to do (Monday).â&#x20AC;? Special teams were a factor Sunday, but only in keeping the Capitals in it because of the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ineffective power play that went 0-for-5 and is 2-for-26 in the series. New York had a failed 5-on-3 advantage that lasted 44 seconds in the first period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some were deserved. Some werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserved,â&#x20AC;? Capitals forward Troy Brouwer said of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penalties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We killed our momentum.â&#x20AC;? Washington didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to improve on its 3-for-14 output in the first five games. Two Rangers power plays in the third cut out precious time the Capitals could have had to net the tying goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We battled the whole way,â&#x20AC;? Capitals goalie Braden Holtby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disappointing, but we move along. Our (penalty-killing) is doing great, holding us in the series. Our guys kept their composure. We knew this could go seven.â&#x20AC;? Brassard handed Lundqvist the lead at 9:39 of the second period, with a goal that was originally credited to struggling forward Rick Nash. Defenceman Mike Green left Washington short-handed when he took a retaliation cross-checking penalty on Derek Dorsett with 6:14 remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot emotions. You can expect scrums and things like that,â&#x20AC;? Dorsett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play your game.

New York Rangers right wing Derek Dorsett skates with Washington Capitals defenceman John Erskine in pursuit in the second period of Game 6 of their NHL Stanley Cup playoff series in New York, Sunday. The Rangers shut out the Capitals 1-0. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go out and think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to scrum it up and win the game.â&#x20AC;? Just after Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penalty expired, Lundqvist denied Eric Fehrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive with a snaring glove save. He then covered the puck in front with 48.4 seconds left, keeping Marcus Johansson at bay after the Capitals pulled Holtby for an extra attacker. Lundqvist was at his best earlier in the third when the Capitals came at him in waves. He turned aside Mike Ribeiro, who scored in overtime to win Game 5, with just over 11 min-

utes remaining, and stopped Fehr three minutes later on a rush up the middle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially late in the game, he made some great saves,â&#x20AC;? Rangers coach John Tortorella said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, and now he has another Game 7, I think that builds. The ultimate goal for Hank in his mind is to win the Stanley Cup, but you need to go through these types of situations to get there.â&#x20AC;? Holtby was sharp, as well, in making 28 saves. Brassard, who has had a breakout series, scored his

second goal of the playoffs when he faked a shot and then ripped a drive from the Stanley Cup logo just inside the blue line. The puck clipped the glove of Capitals defenceman Steve Oleksy and sailed through a screen set by Nash in front. The goal was originally credited to Nash, who is still looking for his first of the series. Nash was more of a presence in front, making more drives to the net in an effort to create more traffic in front of Holtby.

Jays belt five home runs in romp of Bo Sox Toronto 12 Boston 4 BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jose Bautista looks comfortable in the No. 2 slot in the Toronto Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batting order. Bautista hit two of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five home runs, and the Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 12-4 Sunday to take two of three in the weekend series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get three or four runs ahead,â&#x20AC;? Bautista said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when some guys come out and are able to take some big hacks and we get the types of results we got today.â&#x20AC;? Bautista batted second for the second straight day after hitting in his usual cleanup slot through his first 31 games. He went 2 for 3 with a walk Sunday and is 4 for 7 with two homers and a pair of walks batting second. Different spot. Same approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pitchers know who I am, and I know who they are, and I know how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to get me out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they execute, they get me out, and if I execute, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m probably going to hit a ball hard somewhere.â&#x20AC;? Bautista hit 54 homers in 2010 and 43 a year later, then dropped to 27 last season as a wrist injury caused him to miss 70 of the final 72 games. He entered Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game hitting just .236 with seven home runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get on his rolls,â&#x20AC;? Toronto manager John Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all said and done, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go-

Wings pull off upset over Ducks in game seven THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Red Wings 3 Ducks 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula each had a goal and an assist, and the Detroit Red Wings finished off the Anaheim Ducks with a 3-2 victory in Game 7 on Sunday night. Justin Abdelkader scored a short-handed goal and Jimmy Howard made 31 saves as the seventh-seeded Red Wings won three of the firstround seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final four games to oust the Ducks, who had the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirdbest record in the regular season. Detroit faces top-seeded Chicago in the second round. Emerson Etem and Francois Beauchemin scored and Jonas Hiller stopped 29 shots for the Ducks, who failed to win their first playoff series since 2009 despite homeice advantage in Game 7. After the clubs played four overtimes in the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first six games, the Red Wings largely dominated the anti-climactic clincher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and for the first time in the series, the Wings didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even

need overtime to win. Beauchemin got credit for a power-play goal with 3:17 to play when the puck banked off Jonathan Ericssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skate in front of Howard, but Anaheim never really got close to a tying goal late. Detroit got a big finish from Zetterberg, their Stanley Cup-winning captain, who scored just 1:49 into Game 7 on a rebound in the slot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although he also took the penalty that led to Beaucheminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal. Zetterberg scored three goals in Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past two victories after getting blanked in the first five, and he finished with seven points in the final three games after just one assist in the first four. After winning a Game 7 on the road for just the third time in their franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lengthy history, the Red Wings are in the second round for the sixth time in seven seasons. The Motor Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team even prevented the first Freeway Faceoff in NHL playoff history. Anaheim would have faced Los Angeles in the second round.

ing to have a great year for us. Maybe this is the start of something? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out.â&#x20AC;? Emilio Bonifacio, Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Lawrie also homered for the Blue Jays, who have won just seven of their last 20 and are last in the AL East at 15-24. They finished a 4-3 trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to bounce back because we were playing pretty bad,â&#x20AC;? Bautista said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to just be playing good baseball. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing way better baseball than when we were struggling and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bright spot for sure.â&#x20AC;? Chad Jenkins (1-0) got his second major league win and first since Oct. 2, allowing two runs and seven hits in five innings-plus. It was just the fourth big league start and 14th appearance for Jenkins, who missed most of spring training and the start of the season with shoulder inflammation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see the guys come out and put up that kind of run support, it really makes it easier on me, knowing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a little bit of wiggle room to work with,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last night we got clutch hits, and then today they were just pounding balls left and right, and that was awesome to watch.â&#x20AC;? Mike Napoli and Pedro Ciriaco homered for Boston, which has lost eight of 10 following a 20-8 start under new manager John Farrell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cliche, but things are evening out,â&#x20AC;? Farrell said. Ryan Dempster (2-4) gave up six runs and seven hits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including three homers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in five innings, his shortest start this season. The British

Columbia native had been 6-0 against Toronto and Montreal in his big league career. Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shane Victorino crashed into right-field wall in the fourth while catching Colby Rasmusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive and fell to the ground, writhing in pain. After being attended to by team personnel, Victorino remained in the game but left after the sixth inning and was taken to a hospital for further evaluation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh man,â&#x20AC;? said Toronto reliever Darren Oliver, who was in the bullpen at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hit that wall hard.â&#x20AC;? Munenori Kawasaki hit a two-run single in the second, and Bautista sent Dempsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pitch of the third into the seats above the Green Monster in left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to throw it in that spot,â&#x20AC;? Bautista said of Dempsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was painting away on me all game long, and that ball crept up to where I like it more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; over the heart of the plate, middle in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I was able to connect.â&#x20AC;? Bonifacio hit a two-run homer in the fourth for a 5-0 lead, his first home run since last July for Miami. Napoli led off the fourth with his seventh homer, and Encarnacion homered in the fifth to make it 6-1. Lawrie homered off Andrew Miller leading off the sixth and Bautista hit a two-run drive off Clayton Mortensen later in the inning for a 10-1 lead, Bautistaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth homer this year. He has 18 career multihomer games.

Peewee AA Braves take one of three in weekend action

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, Spain — Serena Williams kept the No. 1, and added No. 50. Williams beat Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-4 in the final of the Madrid Open Sunday to retain her No. 1 ranking and collect her 50th career title, while Rafael Nadal saw off Stanislas Wawrinka 6-2, 6-4 for his fifth title since returning from a knee injury. The second-ranked Sharapova would have taken the top ranking with a win, but Williams stormed to an early lead as Sharapova struggled with her serve. Despite Sharapova briefly recovering her poise in the second set, Williams’ form never dipped as she defended her title. “It feels good,” Williams said of winning her 50th title. “I don’t know how many more I can win. Who knows if I will ever win another title? I just want to live the dream. Hopefully, I can keep it going. “When you first start out everything is so exciting. Now I expect to win.” Williams improved her record against Sharapova to 13-2, with her only two losses coming in 2004. The 31-year-old Williams, playing in her first red clay final since 2002, dominated Sharapova from the start as the Russian never managed to steady her erratic serve. “I started the match really slow and against an opponent like her you can’t give her that,” said Sharapova, who had won her previous seven red-clay finals. “I wasn’t reacting well. I wasn’t moving well. Not only the double faults I made, I didn’t have a lot of great first serves in. She was really stepping up.” Sharapova committed five double faults in her first three service games, dropping the first two as Williams eased to a one-set lead. Her shaky serve let Williams gear up and land several winning shots before closing out the first set with a floating return that clipped the line. Sharapova earned and converted her first break point to begin the second set, opening up a 3-1 advantage. But the former No. 1-ranked player’s serve again betrayed her as she hit another double fault, and Williams’ precise groundstrokes set up three break points to hit right back. Williams closed out the final after Sharapova recorded her eighth and final double fault before sending the ball long to give up her fifth service game. Last year, Williams won here on the experimental blue clay surface that was removed after complaints from players that it was too slick. Williams said the move back to red clay meant the tournament was a good warm-up for the French Open starting at the end of the month. “This court is definitely different,” she said. “It plays like Roland Garros and that is a plus. So I think it is great preparation.” Cheered on by the home crowd at the Caja Magica, the fifth-ranked Nadal cruised to his 55th career title

The Red Deer Servus Credit Union Braves were flawless in weekend bantam AAA baseball action, downing the Okotoks Dawgs Red 10-6 and defeating Sherwood Park 9-7. Carter O’Donnell had a single and double and drove in three runs against Okotoks, while Brad Pope contributed a single and a two-run triple. On the Red Deer mound, Kelsey Lalor worked two and two-thirds innings — allowing four runs on one hit, eight walks and one strikeout — and Andrew MacCuaig gave up two runs on four hits, two walks and two strikeouts while throwing the final four and one-third innings. In the win over Sherwood Park, Pope had two singles, stole three bases and scored twice, and MacCuaig and Zach Olson each stole three bases and drove in a run. Pope started on the Braves mound and gave up five runs on four hits and one walk over two and twothirds innings, while Jordan Muirhead worked the final four and one-third innings, allowing two runs on five hits. Pope also fanned three batters and hit three, with Muirhead recording four strikeouts while hitting one batter.

Serena Williams celebrates a point on her way to win the final of the Madrid Open tennis tournament against Maria Sharapova in Madrid Sunday. and extended his head-to-head record with Wawrinka to 9-0. Nadal flopped on his back and screamed in joy when his Swiss opponent’s final volley fell long to end the match. It was Nadal’s seventh straight final since coming back from a nagging case of tendinitis in his left knee that sidelined him for seven months. “I’m very happy and maybe this victory is even more special considering how complicated this year has been,” said Nadal. “This tournament couldn’t have gone better for me. “I think this was my best match of the tournament. This was perhaps the match where I was the most aggressive.” Nadal imposed his ground game from the start. He worked his opponent around the court and punished him with passing shots when he tried to come forward. The local favourite set the tone in the first game by breaking Wawrinka with a vicious flick to land the ball on the sideline. Nadal, who had won here in 2005 and 2010, roared out to a 4-0 lead in 20 minutes. The 15th-ranked Wawrinka settled down in the second set and was able to take Nadal’s service game to deuce. But Nadal returned two line-drive shots by Wawrinka at the net before he fired the third try long. Nadal then drove in an ace to end Wawrinka’s challenge. “Nadal showed again that he is the best on clay,” said Wawrinka, who also congratulated Nadal’s coaching staff for helping him back from his layoff. “Since he has come back he has shown that it is really tough to beat him.”

The Red Deer Dairy Queen Braves posted a 1-2 record in peewee AA baseball action during the weekend. The Braves opened the weekend at Westpark diamond with a 16-0 romp over the Edmonton Cardinals, scoring six runs in the first inning and five more in the second frame. Left-hander Ben LeBlanc worked three innings on the Braves’ mound, with Aidan Schafer taking the hill for the final two frames and giving up one hit while fanning three batters. LeBlanc, Cooper Jones, Hunter Leslie and Zach Baker each scored two runs for the Braves. From there, the Braves fell 10-6 to the Sherwood Park Athletics at Westpark and 16-0 to the host St. Albert Cardinals. Baker pitched five innings against the Athletics, recording five strikeouts while giving up four earned runs. Baker handed the ball to Adam Junck after hitting a batter with a 6-4 lead in the sixth, but the Red Deer squad gave up six runs on three hits and three errors en route to a loss. The Braves plated five runs on five hits in the fourth inning. On Sunday, the Braves ran up against St. Albert ace pitcher Zach Froment, who fanned 10 batters over four innings. Braves starting pitcher Brett Porter worked three strong innings, but the wheels came off in the fifth when middle reliever Leslie surrendered seven runs off one hit, three walks and an error. Braves closer Reid Howell also struggled, giving up seven runs in the sixth inning. The Red Deer club will compete in the St. Albert Early Bird tournament this weekend.

Junior B Rampage get win and tie in weekend games The Red Deer TBS Rampage posted a win and a tie in junior B tier 1 lacrosse action during the weekend. On Sunday, the Rampage tied the visiting Edmonton Warriors 8-8 as Chris Amell and Darrian Banack shared goaltending duties and Jayce Grebinski fired three goals. Troy Klaus, Kane Weik, Jordan Hemstad, Tanner Green and Dion Daoust also tallied for the winners. On Saturday, the host Rampage topped the St. Albert Crude 9-7 as Mitch Vellner and Klaus each scored twice and Weik, Daoust, Hemstad, Pearce Just and Trey Christensen also tallied. Klaus added four assists, while Darrian Banack made 34 saves.

Warriors even series Canada earn quarter-final berth with win over Czechs

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Warriors 97 Spurs 87 OT OAKLAND, Calif. — His spirits down, his left ankle limp and his team’s season hanging in the balance, Stephen Curry wondered whether he could recover for the biggest game of his career until a text message popped up on his phone around 2 a.m. Saturday. Curry called back his mother, Sonya, and vented his frustrations about his latest — and most inopportune — injury setback. Finally, she spoke up to calm his concerns. “She just reminded me and battled tested me to rely on my teammates for support,” Curry said. What followed was a Mother’s Day masterpiece. Curry scored 22 points to go with six rebounds and four assists on a bum ankle, rallying the Golden State Warriors past the San Antonio Spurs 97-87 in overtime Sunday to even the Western Conference semifinal at two games apiece. “It seems like every time you get on a roll and feel somewhat healthy there’s a setback,” said Curry, who shot 7 of 15 from the floor, including 5 of 10 from 3-point range. “And it just tests you. It changes your routine. It changes your outlook on the game, your preparation. You’ve got to deal with the injury and the adjustments you’re making as a team.” Game 5 is Tuesday in San Antonio. Curry and the Warriors overcame the obstacles with contributions from all over. Rookie Harrison Barnes had a career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds, Jarrett Jack added 24 points in reserve and Andrew Bogut grabbed 18 rebounds to help Golden State erase an eight-point deficit in the final five minutes of regulation. The Warriors scored the first nine points of overtime to whip the yellow-shirt wearing crowd of 19,596 into a frenzy and give this topsy-turvy series yet another twist.

STORIES FROM B1

LEAFS: Tipped in It came at 1:48 of the third period after Nazem Kadri ripped a wrist shot that was tipped in by Phaneuf, who had made his way to the front of the goal after continuing his rush. Boston had lost the puck in the Toronto end on an attempt at a flash pass by David Krejci. Kessel then added to the lead at 8:59, picking up the puck after James van Riemsdyk occupied two Bruins in front of goal and backhanded it past Tuukka Rask. Kadri beat Patrice Bergeron on the faceoff to start the play. Rask finished with 24 stops. After combining for 170 shots in the last two games, the teams battened down the defensive hatches in what started as a much tighter contest but opened up as the game wore on. Boston came out skating hard and it wasn’t until the second period that Toronto seemed to find its feet. Reimer and Rask were unbeatable the first two periods, adding to the value of that first goal. The third period felt like overtime, at least until Phaneuf scored. The tight game made for a tense atmosphere inside where 19,591 fans, wielding giveaway blue or white towels, cheered every Leaf hit or shot. Outside, another amped-up crowd packed Maple Leafs Square to watch the game on a big screen, despite chilly fivedegree temperatures at game time. Moments after Phaneuf finally beat Rask, Reimer was called on twice as the other end. It was another strong game for the Leafs goalie, who switched masks during the game. Rask was equally impressive, showing off a lively glove. First-line Leafs centre Tyler Bozak took the warmup but was an unexpected scratch, quickly joining the worldwide tending list on Twitter. Bozak, who scored shorthanded in Game 5, had missed the final two games of the regular season with what was believed to be a shoulder injury. Joe Colborne, making his playoff debut, came in for Bozak. Boston defenceman Andrew Ference did not make the trip to Toronto for undisclosed reasons. But Wade Redden returned to the lineup after missing Game 5. That prompted coach Claude Julien to change his defensive pairings, as he did when Ference was suspended for Game 2. Captain Zdeno Chara played with Johnny Boychuk, Dennis Seidenberg with Adam McQuaid, and Redden with rookie Dougie Hamilton. Boston continued to bottle the Leafs up in their own end for stretches of the second, with Boychuk hitting the post with a shot from the blue-line. A diving Reimer made a wonder stop on Bergeron six minutes in, surfing across the crease on his stomach as the Bruin came from behind the net and tried to stuff the puck in. Reimer did much the same in the second period Wednesday, frustrating Bergeron. Reimer, who came into the game leading all playoff goalies in shots against (207) and saves (192), stopped Bergeron again seconds later. After the Game 5 loss, Julien called for more production from the line of Bergeron, Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin, who had 59 shots but just one goal (Bergeron) on Reimer in the first five games of the series. The trio combined for one shot in the first period but were more active as the game wore on. The teams had 10 shots apiece in the second period. Toronto led the hit count 42-33 with Leafs defenceman Ry-

San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan, top, battles for a rebound against Golden State Warriors’ Andrew Bogut during Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference semifinal in Oakland, Calif., Sunday. Even Warriors coach Mark Jackson doubted whether Curry could play, especially after his star point guard took an anti-inflammatory injection in the morning to ease the soreness in his sprained ankle and still had trouble getting loose. Jackson cornered Curry outside the chapel service at the arena to see how he felt. “He said, ’I’m going to give you what I got, coach.’ That’s not the language he speaks. I knew right away that he was not 100 per cent,” said Jackson, who conferred with general manager Bob Myers in his office before letting Curry play. “Once again, it’s that same spirit flowing through that locker room that refuses to quit.”

an O’Byrne and pesky forward Leo Komarov leading the way with six apiece. The final hit count was 58-50 in favour of Toronto.

GOLF: Four-way tie There was a four-way tie for the lead after Woods made his double bogey, and the infamous 17th green took out Maggert and Garcia. After Garcia went into the water twice, Lingmerth missed an 8-foot birdie putt that would have tied him for the lead. Given their public sniping at each other over the weekend, it was only fitting that Garcia had the best chance to beat Woods. Their dispute started Saturday when Garcia complained in a TV interview that his shot from the par-5 second fairway was disrupted by cheers from the crowd around Woods, who was some 50 yards away in the trees and fired them up by taking a fairway metal out of his bag. He said Woods should have been paying attention, and it became a war of the words the next two days. “Not real surprising that he’s complaining about something,” Woods said. “At least I’m true to myself,” Garcia retorted. “I know what I’m doing, and he can do whatever he wants.” When they finished the storm-delayed third round Sunday morning, Garcia kept at it, saying that Woods is “not the nicest guy on tour.” Woods had the last laugh. He had the trophy. Garcia, when asked if he would have changed anything about the flap with Woods, replied, “It sounds like I was the bad guy here. I was the victim. I don’t have any regrets of anything.” The real villain was the infamous 17th hole. “When you’ve got water in front of the green, that’s not a good time to be short of the green. You know, it was close,” Maggert said. “What can I say? A wrong shot at the wrong time and you get penalized on this golf course.” It was at the 17th hole five years ago where Garcia won The Players Championship, when Paul Goydos hit into the water in a sudden-death playoff. This time, the island green got its revenge on him. Garcia hit a wedge and felt he caught it just a little bit thin, which is usually all it takes. “That hole has been good to me for the most part,” Garcia said. “Today, it wasn’t. That’s the way it is. That’s the kind of hole it is. You’ve got to love it for what it is.” Woods earned $1.71 million, pushing his season total to over $5.8 million in just seven tournaments. This is the 12th season he has won at least four times — that used to be the standard of a great year before he joined the PGA Tour in 1996 — and this was the quickest he has reached four wins in a year.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Jeff Skinner wasn’t on the ice much, but made a huge impact in Canada’s 2-1 win over the Czech Republic at the IIHF World Championship on Sunday. The Carolina Hurricanes forward scored on an end-to-end rush after weaving through the Czech defence and burying a wraparound behind goalie Ondrej Pavelec at 6:55 of the third period. His goal stood up as the winner as Canada (50-1) secured a quarterfinal berth in the tournament. “Any goal when you play for your country is pretty cool,” Skinner said. His eight minutes 48 seconds of ice time was the least among Canadian forwards Sunday as the 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., wears the Maple Leaf in his third world championship. His eighth career goal was a memorable one. “When I got over the red (line) I knew I didn’t want to dump it in and when I was at the hash marks, I saw the goalie a little bit out and challenging the shot,” Skinner said. “When he was cutting off my angle, I just tried to take it around the weak side and again, I think it sort of bounced off something. “I just sort of guessed and guessed right.” Wayne Simmonds scored his first of the tournament for Canada, while defenceman Dan Hamhuis led all Canadian players in ice time and shifts despite joining the team the previous day. Mike Smith made 30 saves for his second win of the tournament and also picked up an assist on Skinner’s goal. “It was off my left pad and kind of kicked it into the corner,” the Phoenix Coyotes goaltender said. “It was a well-placed rebound, let’s say. It would have been nice to pass it, but I’ll take it. “Skinny did the rest.

The kid can skate pretty well, took it end to end and got a big goal for us.” Petr Koukal replied for the Czechs (3-3-0), whose quarter-final prospects depend on beating Norway on Tuesday. The Czechs won the bronze medal the last two years. Pavelec, who plays for the Winnipeg Jets, stopped 23 shots in taking the loss in front of a crowd of 6,117 at the Globe Arena. “I’m not very satisfied we only scored one goal in the game,” Czech head coach Alois Hadamczik said via an interpreter. “This was the first time we really played our game at the tournament.” The top four teams in each pool of eight advance to Thursday’s quarter-finals, with one playing four and two playing three in each group. The United States, Russia and Switzerland also clinched quarterfinal berths Sunday. The Americans beat Germany 3-0; reigning champion Russia beat Slovakia 3-1; and unbeaten Switzerland defeated Norway also by 3-1 to win its sixth game. Canada needed just a single point from the game to get in the quarter-finals, but three points for the regulation win means Canada will finish no worse than second in the Stockholm pool. At 16 points, the Canadians also kept the pressure on leader Switzerland with 17. Canada concludes the preliminary round against winless Slovenia on Monday, while the Swiss finish against Belarus on Tuesday. Host Sweden was third in their pool with 12 points and a game remaining. The Norwegians were fourth with nine. The United States is ranked first in the Helsinki pool with 15 points ahead of Finland with 14. Russia is third with 12 ahead of Slovakia and Germany, which are tied for fourth with seven points. Canada added Hamhuis following the elimination of his Vancou-

ver Canucks in the first round of NHL playoffs. The 30-year-old played a regular shift from the opening faceoff Sunday. Hamhuis said he skated in the morning and intended to monitor his energy during the game and inform the coaches if he felt winded. But his full participation became necessary when defenceman Luke Schenn took a match penalty and was booted early in the second period. Hamhuis played 29 shifts and over 22 minutes. “The intensity of the game, when you’re playing such a tight-checking game, you don’t tend to feel as tired as you do if the score is lopsided,” Hamhuis said. “With the type of game it was, it was a lot of fun to play out there.” Canadian head coach Lindy Ruff joked wryly “we probably wouldn’t have listened to him, especially after Luke went out” had Hamhuis asked to reduce his minutes. “Tonight, I thought some of our defencemen looked a little young,” Ruff said. “That’s when you want the veteran guys to step up and pull through for you.” Schenn was assessed a major and the match penalty for checking Zbynek Irgl from behind. Irgl suffered a bloody cut across the nose. Schenn’s match penalty comes with an automatic game suspension, so Canada will be down to seven defencemen again against Slovenia. “Refereeing is a giant black hole that I don’t want to jump into,” Ruff said. Hadamczik dove into that hole. His team took three minors in the second period and another two after Skinner’s goal that hurt their efforts to tie the game. “Both teams performed very well, but the referees did not,” Hadamcik said. “They missed many calls on our side. I’ve been to many world championships during my career and I never expressed this about the referees.”

Nova Scotia bans body checking for some levels BANS INCLUDE ALL PEE WEE; B AND C BANTAM AND MIDGET PLAYERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Hockey Nova Scotia overwhelmingly voted to ban bodychecking for some minor hockey players on Sunday following pleas from physicians that the body contact increases the risk of head injuries to children. The board unanimously voted to eliminate bodychecking for all peewee players, who are typically between 11and 12-years old. It was also removed for the B and C levels of the bantam and midget leagues (ages 13 through 18), with only one dissenting vote of the 21-member board. The decision capped off the association’s annual general meeting in the Halifax area, where the issue was debated after presentations from industry experts, physicians and a young

player. Hockey Nova Scotia president Randy Pulsifer said following those presentations, the mood among board members shifted toward eliminating bodychecking. He said members were particularly touched after hearing from a young boy who can no longer play hockey after suffering a concussion. “Here we have a young kid that’s 13 or 14 years old and his hockey career is over,” said Pulsifer at a hotel in the suburb of Dartmouth. “You have to look in your heart and say, ’What’s best?”’ Debate over when to allow players to start hitting has inflamed emotions on both sides of the argument for years. It gathered steam after research came out of Alberta last year showing there was a three-fold increase in the risk of injuries for peewee players who check in Alberta, compared to those in

Quebec where bodychecking is not allowed until bantam. “Those are pretty staggering numbers,” Hockey Nova Scotia executive director Darren Cossar said. “Removing checking will clearly eliminate the number of injuries at that level and for 11- and 12-year-old players, and we think that’s the absolute appropriate thing to do.” Debby Hill-LeBlanc, president of Clare Minor Hockey, said the move puts “the priority back in the sport.” “Safe hockey — that’s the priority for our players.” As he headed into the meeting on Sunday, Pulsifer said there was no shortage of negative feedback. “There are a lot of hockey purists out there that believe hockey should always have the checking component,” he said. “Let’s move hockey to the 21st century. This is the direction we had to take.”

The changes take effect in the 201314 hockey season, which begins in September. Pulsifer said Hockey Nova Scotia will now reach out to associations across the province to re-train coaches on body contact and bodychecking techniques to prepare peewee players for higher levels of hockey. The move by Nova Scotia comes after a recent decision by Hockey Alberta to ban bodychecking for its peewee players. Paul Carson, vice-president of development for Hockey Canada, said the issue will be front and centre when the organization meets in a few weeks in Charlottetown for its yearly meeting. Pulsifer says he thinks Hockey Canada should follow suit. “By us voting it in, by Alberta voting it in and Quebec already there, it just gives credence to the direction that we have to take as a nation.”

Good start turns Hinchcliffe into IndyCar’s big daddy going into Indy 500 INDIANAPOLIS — James Hinchcliffe might have the busiest appointment calendar in IndyCar. When he’s not fine-tuning the No. 27 car for team owner Michael Andretti, he’s making promotional appearances for sponsors or trying to sell the sport to non-IndyCar fans. And if he’s not busy doing those things or goofing around with friends and colleagues in Gasoline Alley, Hinchcliffe can almost certainly be found patrolling the Internet as the self-appointed Mayor of Hinchtown. Somehow, Hinchcliffe has found time to do all of it, still win races and become one of the most popular drivers on the circuit. “He’s a dream for a sponsor because he’s great out of the car and he’s great in the car, too,” Andretti said Sunday, the second day of Indianapolis 500 practice. “James has a way of turning it (the racing focus) off, and then turning it back on, which is a real talent.” He’s a new breed of IndyCar driver, too. The Oakville, Ont., is nothing like the feisty rivals that dominated the sport in its glory days and he doesn’t have the same personality of his team owner, who admittedly came across as standoffish during his career because he was so focused on driving cars. Instead, the 26-year-old has embraced social media and enjoys life. His unusual list of includes flannel shirts, maple syrup and dog sled racing. Over the winter, Hinchcliffe and a few other drivers carved out time to dress in fire suits and cut a series of humorous online videos at the IndyCar office. The way Hinchcliffe and series officials see it, there’s no such thing as overexposure. “When you have someone that has the talent, results, personality and understands the business side of IndyCar racing as well as engaging fans, you have a near perfect combination that allows a driver to transcend outside of motorsports,” IndyCar vicepresident of marketing Kasey Coler said. But the attraction goes far deeper than Hinchcliffe’s engaging personality. A year ago when Hinchcliffe got his big break, replacing Danica Patrick as the driver of the No. 27 car, he immediately started cracking jokes about becoming the first Go Daddy guy. Turns out, he’s just the big man on the IndyCar series this year with

two wins in four races — one more win than Patrick had in her IndyCar career. He’s currently fourth in points, trailing leader Takuma Sato of Japan by 24. What’s different for Hinchcliffe this season? “I knew there was always going to be a big gap stepping into the Go Daddy car and following Danica,” Hinchcliffe said. “But I think it was important to make this ride our own and create our own identify, and I think we’ve done that.” His rapid ascension has been remarkable. Three years ago, Hinchcliffe came to Indianapolis as a rising star in the Firestone Indy Lights series. A few days after competing in the Freedom 100, he returned to the 2.5-mile oval to help call the betterknown Indianapolis 500 on the radio — as an analyst. By 2011, Hinchcliffe’s exuberant personality helped him land a full-time gig with the once heavyweight team of Newman-Haas Racing. The IndyCar rookie produced three fourth-place finishes and seven top-10s in 16 starts that season, then lost his job when Newman-Haas ceased operations. He wasn’t out of work long. Andretti needed a personable driver with oodles of talent to replace Patrick and keep the sponsors happy, but he also wanted somebody who would fit in with an already established team. Hinchcliffe was the perfect choice, and it showed. Ryan Hunter-Reay wound up winning year’s points title and this year’s second race while Hinchcliffe won the season-opener at St. Petersburg and last weekend’s race at Brazil. Andretti’s son, Marco, also is coming to Indy with the best start of his career. It’s not a coincidence. “He (Hinchcliffe) is just putting it all together, same as me,” Marco Andretti said. “You could say it’s a team thing because it started last year.” But Hinchcliffe is not satisfied. After qualifying second for last year’s 500, a bad pit stop forced him to settle for a sixth-place finish. He’s come back as this year as one of the hottest drivers in the series and with a team that has dominated the first two months of the season. It happened again Sunday when the Andretti drivers nearly swept the top five spots on the practice speed chart. Rookie Carlos Munoz, of Colombia, had the fastest lap Sunday, 223.023 mph. Hunter-Reay was second at 222.825 with E.J. Viso third at 222.523 and Marco Andretti fourth at 222.485. Hinchcliffe was sixth at 220.907 before heading off for yet another appear-

Spezza returns to practice for Senators; still no timetable on return to action THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Fresh off their first-round demolition of the Montreal Canadiens, the Ottawa Senators had a familiar face back in the fold on Sunday. No. 1 centre Jason Spezza practised with his teammates for the first time since undergoing back surgery for a herniated disc on Feb. 1 and says it was nice to take another step in his recovery. “It’s been a long process and a long season for me,” Spezza said. “It felt good to join the team again and get some reps in. It may not seem like it and I may not play this year, but for me it’s a small victory.” Despite speculation that Spezza could be done for the season, the fact the 29-year-old took part in a full practice was encouraging. Spezza, who had been skating on his own before joining the Ottawa’s AHL callups for more training, says he had some “ups and downs” over the course of his recovery but made improvements over the last few weeks that allowed him to take part in a regular practice. Whether or not he plays this season depends on how is body reacts. The Senators will take on the No. 1 seed Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs after Ottawa disposed of second-ranked Montreal in five games. “I always felt there

was going to be a light at the end of the tunnel and when that is I don’t know,” Spezza said. “But I’m going to keep pushing towards getting better so I can try to play.” The Senators’ top centre played in just five games this season, scoring two goals and adding three assists, before being forced to have surgery. Spezza last played on Jan. 27, coincidentally against the Penguins. It’s unclear whether Spezza will travel to Pittsburgh, but Senators coach Paul MacLean doesn’t seem to have much hope he will play in the first two games of the series. “He’s a long ways away,” said MacLean after practice. On Saturday, the coach said he would love nothing more than to have Spezza back in the lineup, but if and when that happens he has to be able to slide right in. “That’s the important factor for me ... Jason has to be up to speed to where the team is playing,” said MacLean. “And the treadmill goes pretty fast in the second round of the playoffs.” Spezza understands MacLean’s thinking and says in no way does he want to be a hindrance to the team. “As a player you have to be confident. The only way you’re going to have any success if you come back to play is to be confident. I have to make sure I have confidence in myself that I’m going to help the team,” he said.

That’s life in the fast lane for Hinchcliffe. “It never really shuts off,” Hunter-Reay said. “It’s fun and he brings out more in me. It’s a good atmosphere within the team, but he’s fun to work with and as much as he is great in front of the camera, he’s got a lot of obligations. Like now, he’s got to go cut out for the ’Wind Tunnel’ obligations and he’s fast in a race car, too.”

Say ‘hello’ to less crime RESIDENTS CAN DO SIMPLE THINGS TO HELP PREVENT CRIME

CRIME PREVENTION WEEK

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Curbing crime in your neighbourhood starts with a simple “hello.” TerryLee Ropchan, executive director of the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre, said residents often get frustrated about situations in neighbourhoods but do not realize they can do simple things to help prevent crime. Ropchan said when you know your neighbours you are more likely to look out for them. “Then we have things people can do to beautify their neighbourhoods to make them better,” said Ropchan, at the Crime Prevention Week kick off on Saturday. “We started with the graffiti wipes this year. “We wanted to address some of the issues that we hear people talking about.” Graffiti wipes are available for purchase at the Centre’s office near the downtown RCMP detachment. This week the spotlight will be on crime prevention as the annual Crime Prevention Week is observed from May 12 to 18. Throughout the week there several opportunities for residents to learn about the crime fighting and safety resources in the community. New this year is today’s Crime Prevention Showcase at the downtown RCMP building (4602-51st Avenue). Residents will have the chance to mingle with police officers and volunteers and learn about different programs and career and volunteer opportunities. Volunteers from organizations such as Victims Services, Search and Rescue and Red Deer Neighbourhood Watch

Alberta announces testing of ticks for Lyme disease Albertans finding ticks exploring their bodies this spring can now submit the bloodsuckers for Lyme disease testing. The province has been testing ticks found on pets and farm animals for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease since 2007. This is the first year it will also test ticks found on humans and in the environment. “We’re asking for the public to help us gather data to determine whether ticks that carry the Lyme bacteria are present here in Alberta,” said the province’s deputy chief medical officer Dr. Martin Lavoie. Since 1998, there have been 32 cases of Lyme disease reported to Alberta Health, all of which were acquired while people were travelling outside the province. According to an Alberta Health release, the program is expected to cost

between $50,000 and $100,000 annually, depending on the number of ticks submitted. The program will not diagnose Lyme disease in an individual. Although the risk of acquiring the disease in Alberta is very low, people believing they might be afflicted should discuss the matter with a physician. Symptoms of Lyme disease include rashing, fatigue, headaches and sore muscles and joints. To participate, people can contact the Alberta Health Services environmental public health office in their area. The Red Deer office can be reached at 403-356-6335. For more information on the program, and to find other area offices, visit www.health.alberta.ca/health-info/lyme-disease.html.

Saudis find more coronavirus cases BRINGS CLUSTER TO 15, 7 FATAL BY HELEN BRANSWELL THE CANADIAN PRESS Authorities in Saudi Arabia have found two more people who were infected with the new coronavirus in a large cluster of cases in the eastern portion of the country. The two new cases, reported Thursday, bring the total to date of that al Hofuf cluster to 15 infections. Seven have been fatal. One of the newly reported cases became ill on April 6, which at this point is the earliest onset date known for any of the infections in this cluster. Though it is still not clear if these cases are all part of a chain of person-to-person spread, it does suggest the new virus has been infecting people in al Hofuf for more than a month. The new cases were reported publicly by the country’s deputy health minister, Dr. Ziad Memish, who posted a short update on the outbreak on the Internet-based disease surveillance system, ProMED. Memish said the two people were not newly infected but rather cases that were detected by going back through records and tracing people who had been in contact with known cases. But his ProMED report did not say if these people are related to, or had contact with, any of the other cases in the cluster. And while the official Saudi line has been that all the cases have been linked to a dialysis clinic at alMoosa Hospital, Memish’s post made no mention of these cases having had care at that facility. He did, however, appear to suggest that there is no ongoing spread of the virus at this time, noting that it has been more than a week since the most recent case fell ill. “Actions implemented and fully applied by 1 May 2013 have been effective to date in preventing new cases related to this cluster from emerging,” Memish wrote in his ProMED posting. But infectious diseases expert Michael Osterholm said it is too soon to conclude transmission in al Hofuf has been stopped. “This cluster could still be continuing. I don’t think we know,” said Osterholm, who is the director of the Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. “It would not surprise me in the next seven to 10 days if we find more cases have occurred in that area that have not previously been reported,” he said, adding the ongoing investigation there may uncover more retrospective cases. “I think the more of the onion we peel back here, the more difficult it gets.” The new cases are both men and are both alive. Both men were reported to have had pre-existing medical conditions. One, a 48-year old, started to have symptoms on April 29. He is in stable condition in hospital. The other is a 58-year-old man who had symptom onset on April 6. Memish said he has recovered completely and was discharged from hospital on May 3. The al Hofuf cluster is the largest to date with

That feature of the outbreak raises red flags for infectious disease experts because health-care workers and hospital patients are often the sentinel cases when a new pathogen begins to spread. Such was the case during the SARS outbreak in 2003. The SARS virus spread poorly in the community but took off in hospitals among unprotected healthcare workers and patients. This virus is from the same family as the SARS coronavirus. Over the past 13 months, 33 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan,

the United Arab Emirates, Britain and, earlier this week, France. All cases are linked to the countries on the Arabian Peninsula. Eighteen of the cases have been fatal. Saudi Arabia has reported the most cases, 25, with 14 fatalities. The kingdom’s officials have been reluctant to share information about the outbreak but recently invited some outside experts to travel to Saudi Arabia to consult on the situation. Toronto SARS expert Dr. Allison McGeer is among them. The head of infection control at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, she is currently in Saudi Arabia helping with the investigation.

Canada not planning H7N9 bird flu vaccine studies BY HELEN BRANSWELL THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada currently has no plans to ask its pandemic flu vaccine manufacturers to make trial batches of vaccine to protect against the new H7N9 bird flu, senior officials of the Public Health Agency of Canada have revealed. While the U.S. government has said it will ask several of flu vaccine manufacturers to start growing up batches of serum against the new virus this summer, Canada will watch, wait and learn from the work the U.S. does, the officials said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “What we need to do in the international research-scientific community, the public health community is to complement each other. If the U.S. is doing something, we don’t need to do it necessarily,” explained Dr. Frank Plummer, head of the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. Dr. John Spika, director general of the public health agency’s center for immunization and respiratory infectious diseases, said doing this early work is more crucial for the United States, which will have to make a decision about whether to use an adjuvant with H7N9 vaccine, if the virus causes a pandemic. An adjuvant is a product that boosts the immune response to a vaccine, typically allowing a smaller dose to have a protective effect. The U.S. has not used adjuvants with flu vaccine before, but Canada used adjuvanted vaccine during the 2009 pandemic. And when the federal government signed new pandemic vaccine contracts in 2011, it stipulated it wants adjuvanted vaccine the next time it needs pandemic vaccine. “So this step of doing some early clinical trials looking at immunogenicity is really going to be critical for the U.S. go-forward process. Whereas here in Canada, we’ve already made a decision on what kind of vaccine we’re going to use. It’s going to be an adjuvanted one,” Spika said. Canada’s main flu vaccine producer, GlaxoSmithKline, has a proprietary adjuvant, a product called ASO3. Sanofi Pasteur, which is Canada’s secondary provider, does not currently have a licensed adjuvant that can be used with its flu vaccine. The new flu virus, which hit the world’s radar at the beginning of April, has already caused 131 infections in China and Taiwan — which has reported a single case — and 33 of the infected people have died. H7 flu viruses have not circulated widely in people before and it’s believed virtually everyone would be vulnerable to this new bird flu, if it fully adapts to person-to-person spread. The emergence of the virus is causing sleepless nights in pandemic preparedness circles. While it provokes severe disease in people, it causes no discernible illness in birds at this point. So finding where the virus is and how people are getting infected has been an enormous challenge. As well, the virus has some mutations that suggest it is partially adapted to infecting human respiratory tracts; experts say it appears to infect people more easily than other known bird flu viruses. Making matters worse is that fact that if the virus

Zhang farms pigeons for meat and eggs and claims to have revenues of US$10,000 monthly but sales have dried up due to fears over the H7N9 avian flu since April. triggers a pandemic and vaccine is needed, there are multiple reasons to believe that producing an effective H7N9 vaccine could be hugely difficult. Those problems were spelled out in a prospective article the Journal of the American Medical Association published online late Thursday. The article, by researchers from the Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, outlined the long lead time for making flu vaccines, the modest protection offered by current seasonal vaccines and the limited but alarming data on vaccines against H7 viruses. Over the past few years the U.S. government has financed several small clinical trials testing vac-

cines for other H7 viruses, viruses like the H7N7 that infected around 90 people in the Netherlands in 2003 and the H7N3 that infected two people in British Columbia in 2004. The results have been dismal. Flu vaccine experts say H7 viruses appear to be the least immunogenic (immune-response inducing) of the bird flu viruses. In fact, in studies using killed virus vaccine — the type of vaccine used in seasonal flu shots — massive doses of serum failed to produce a protective response in most people. Seasonal flu shots contain 15 micrograms of antigen for each strain they protect against. In the H7 vaccine studies, 12 times that much vaccine (given in two shots) did not raise antibody levels to the degree that is considered protective. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services does a risk assessment whenever a new flu virus emerges; the deliberations involve deciding on whether a trial lots of a vaccine should be made and tested. In this case, the decision has been made to go ahead with H7N9 vaccine clinical trials. The U.S. government has set aside $25 million for the development of vaccine seed strains and small vaccine batches for clinical studies, Gretchen Michaels, director of communications for the office of the assistant secretary for preparedness and response, said in an email. The current plan is that the manufacturers — who are currently still making next winter’s seasonal flu vaccine — will start making the H7N9 vaccine in early summer. In Canada, no such work is currently envisaged. And the company which has the lion’s share of Canada’s pandemic flu vaccine contract, GlaxoSmithKline, said Thursday it has not yet taken possession of a seed strain for H7N9 vaccine. Janet Grdovich, communications manager for GSK Canada, said at this point she cannot say whether the GSK plant at Ste-Foy, Que., will started working with the H7N9 vaccine seed strain.

BP withdrawing some staff from Tripoli office LONDON — Oil company BP says it is temporarily withdrawing some nonessential and nonLibyan staff from its office in Libya’s capital following similar action by Britain’s Foreign Office. David Nicholas, a BP spokesman, said the move is “a precautionary measure” on advice from the Foreign Office. He wouldn’t say how many staff will be affected but stressed that the Tripoli office remains open. Militias have stormed and surrounded government buildings in Tripoli in recent weeks, and rallies to protest the armed groups have ended in violence. BP has a limited presence in Libya, where it has long-term exploration contracts but is not currently engaged in any operations.

Markets anxious for data INVESTORS LOOK FOR SIGNS WORLD’S LARGEST ECONOMY IS ON TRACK WITH RECOVERY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Investor attention will turn to a number of economic reports out of the U.S. this week as they look for signs the world’s largest economy is in fact on track with its recovery. On Monday, the U.S. Commerce Department will release its retail sales data for April and figures on business inventories for the month of March. The U.S. Federal Reserve will also be releasing its industrial production numbers for April, which will include the latest figures from the manufacturing and automotive sectors. Last month, U.S. industrial output rose to 0.4 per cent in March. It’s expected that the growth will slow again between April to June, as the impact of government spending cuts and higher social security taxes begin to take its toll on the economy. “There’s a lot of information

that’s coming down the pipe,” said Andrew Pyle, a portfolio manager with Scotia McLeod. “These will be closely watched for signs of whether or not the fiscal austerity measures, or what they call sequestration, has had an impact or not on the second quarter.” The U.S. indexes have surged to record highs in recent weeks, boosted by positive corporate earnings, signs that momentum may be building in the U.S. economic recovery and that Europe’s debt crisis may be eas-

ing. The Dow closed above 15,000 for the first time last week, while the S&P 500 closed above 1,600 for earlier this month. Pyle said this week is the beginning of the “economic data parade” in the U.S., and could drive the markets back down if they’re not rosy. “We really get into the meat of what’s going on at the start of the second quarter, and that’s where the markets will take their cue, I believe,” he said. “If we see second quarter activ-

ity that doesn’t look great, that is a potential catalyst for this market or the equity market to roll back.” Other U.S. economic indicators to come include the weekly jobless claims numbers and housing starts for last month. Meanwhile, Statistics Canada will release the consumer price index for April on Friday. Kevin Headland with Manulife Asset Management said markets will be looking at the big picture out of all these reports. “Markets tend to move on the basis of the fundamental trend there. There is often immediate reaction but cooler heads often prevail,” he said. “I expect the numbers to be somewhat decent next week, but I think the U.S. as a whole is looking much better from both a fundamentals perspective and in equities.”

Chrysler recalls nearly 470,000 Jeep SUVs DETROIT — Chrysler is recalling 469,000 Jeep SUVs worldwide because they can shift into neutral without warning on startup. The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Grand Cherokees and 2006 to 2010 Commanders. U.S. safety regulators say cracks in a circuit board can cause a faulty signal as the SUVs are being started. If the vehicles shift into neutral they can roll away. Chrysler says the problem has caused 26 crashes and two injuries. Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update software to take care of the problem. Chrysler found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheeldrive system on and off. Repairs will be made at no cost to owners. The recall covers 295,000 vehicles in the U.S., 28,500 in Canada, and 4,200 in Mexico. The remaining 141,000 are outside North America. The company says in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Administration that it began looking into the problem after a customer complained that an SUV rolled away in January of 2012 after being started remotely.

IRS officials knew tea party groups targeted WASHINGTON — Senior Internal Revenue Service officials knew agents were targeting tea party groups as early as 2011, according to a draft of an inspector general’s report obtained by The Associated Press that seemingly contradicts public statements by the IRS commissioner. The IRS apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. The agency blamed lowlevel employees, saying no high-level officials were aware. — The Associated Press

A demonstration-scale algal biorefinery will be established at Canadian Natural’s Primrose South oil sands site, near Bonnyville, Alberta. The three-year project will use algae to recycle industrial carbon dioxide emissions into valuable products like biofuels. Shown is an artist’s rendering of the biorefinery facility.

NRC, companies to use oilsands greenhouse gas to make biofuel BY LAUREN KRUGEL THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The federal government, an oil giant and a biofuels company are teaming up to build a $19-million plant in northern Alberta that will use carbon dioxide emissions from the oilsands to help turn algae into products such as fuel, fertilizer and livestock feed. It’s the first project to receive funding under a restructured National Research Council, which earlier this week announced it would focus on technologies that can help businesses, rather than on more general scientific endeavours. “Today’s announcement is an excellent example of exactly the type of thing that the NRC’s new direction will achieve,” Gary Goodyear, minister of state for science and technology, said Friday NRC president John McDougall added: “I can confidently state that such a project would rarely, if ever, have happened under the previous operating model at NRC.” Ottawa is pitching in $9.5 million to build the plant at Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.’s (TSX:CNQ) Primrose South oilsands project near Bonnyville, Alta.

Canadian Natural, one of Canada’s biggest energy companies, will contribute $6.3 million and Toronto-based Pond Biofuels will shoulder the remainder. Pond’s technology essentially feeds carbon dioxide emissions from smoke stacks — whether it’s at an oilsands site, coal plant or factory — to algae. Waste heat and water from Canadian Natural’s operations will also be used to help the algae grow. As it blossoms, the algae develops fat — in other words, oil, said Joy Romero, vicepresident of technology development at Canadian Natural. That oil can be blended with heavy bitumen to make it flow more easily through pipelines, or sold to refiners, who can turn it into diesel or gasoline. The company says the oil is of the same, if not better, quality as West Texas Intermediate, the key U.S. light oil benchmark. The material left behind once the oil has been stripped out can be used as a fertilizer, which Canadian Natural needs as it looks to return used up oilsands mines to their natural state. “It displaces something that we’re currently purchasing,” Romero said. John Parr, Canadian Natural’s vice-pres-

ident of thermal projects, added that the biomass is high in protein and carbohydrates, making it a “perfect” animal feed. “Certainly Alberta is cattle country, so there would be a great market there for it I think as well.” The algae technology could reduce emissions by 15 per cent at Canadian Natural’s massive 110,000-barrel-per-day Horizon oilsands mine north of Fort McMurray and by 30 per cent at its steam-driven Primrose operations. Canadian Natural president Steve Laut said the algae technology will be shared with the Canadian Oil Sands Innovation Alliance, a group of 12 oilsands companies that share environmentally friendly technologies without intellectual property concerns getting in the way. He said pursuing such a project would be “very difficult” without government support. “To say this would have happened without them is naive,” he said. “We needed the NRC to get that base technology to where we are today. Pond Biofuels brings an important part of it and we’re here to make the commercialization and the implementation of it go.”

Investing lessons from the golf links TALBOT BOGGS

MONEYWISE

The golf season now is in full swing in Canada. I’ve heard and read many things about the difficulties, joys and frustrations of the game — experiencing most of them personally — but I’d never seen a comparison between golf and investing, until recently. “Much like financial markets and planning, golf is a sport that places a premium on risk-and-reward decisions (against) a backdrop of ever-changing conditions

and outlooks,” Brent Schutte, market strategist and vice-president of BMO Harris Private Bank, wrote in a market update entitled, The Waste Management Phoenix Open (an actual PGA tournament): A behavioural finance laboratory. “The professional golfer enters each round with a strategy for navigating through the course, but this plan must be tweaked and altered as their position on the course and the leaderboard changes.”

Some recent research has shown that golfers are prone to loss aversion and what is called the “prospect theory.” This theory asserts that humans make decisions based on the value of individual gains and losses rather than on the final outcome, and that they tend to internalize losses more than gains (loss aversion).

One close shave for Branson SHAVES LEGS, SPILLS ORANGE JUICE WHILE HONOURING BET TO BE FLIGHT ATTENDANT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

British business magnate Richard Branson, right, dressed up as an AirAsia flight attendant, and AirAsia’s Chief Executive Tony Fernandes prepare to spray champagne during an AirAsia promotional event after Branson arrived at the low cost carrier terminal in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Sunday.

SEPANG, Malaysia — British business magnate Richard Branson has lost his latest job because of orange juice. The Virgin Group founder had his legs shaved, put on lipstick and squeezed into a red skirt to honour a bet by serving as a flight attendant Sunday on an AirAsia trip from Perth, Australia, to Malaysia. But he earned a reprimand from AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes after he deliberately dumped a tray of orange juice on Fernandes’ lap. Branson lost a bet to Fernandes in 2010 after they wagered that their Formula One racing teams would finish ahead of each other. Fernandes’ team landed two spots above Branson’s. Fernandes gleefully declared after Sunday’s nearly six-hour flight on his budget airline that Branson’s skills as an attendant were “rubbish” and that he was being immediately fired. A cheerful Branson, who was tasked with pouring beverages, serving meals and making flight an-

nouncements, posed with Fernandes and popped champagne after stepping out of the plane at Malaysia’s main low-cost carrier terminal south of Kuala Lumpur. He said in brief remarks that he was “glad to have gotten the bet over with and (was) looking forward to getting back into my clothes.” “I always wanted to be an air hostess, but it looks like I have to get back to normality,” Branson said. The flight helped raise money for an Australian foundation for hospitalized children. Asked how Branson rated as an attendant, Fernandes quipped, “Out of 10, maybe one, for a bit of humour.” “I wanted to kill him actually” for spilling the juice, the Malaysian told reporters. “He looked at me, I said, ‘don’t you dare,’ and the next thing I know, he tipped the whole tray on me,” Fernandes added. “He and the girls mopped it up, but I was walking around the flight in my underwear for a while because I didn’t bring another pair of trousers.”

100 years of achievement, controversy ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION MARKS 100 YEARS BY DAVID CRARY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — For the richest American family of their era, the goal was fittingly ambitious: “To promote the wellbeing of mankind throughout the world.” With that mission, underwritten by the vast wealth of John D. Rockefeller Sr., the Rockefeller Foundation was chartered 100 years ago in Albany, N.Y. For several decades, it was the dominant foundation in the United States, breaking precedent with its global outlook and helping pioneer a diligent, scientific approach to charity that became a model for the field. It earned the abiding gratitude of many beneficiaries, inspired imitators and — due to its power and influence — became a periodic target of criticism from both right and left. “They were in a very small group of foundations that practiced idea-based philanthropy as opposed to just charity. They are willing to invest in ideas,” said Bradford Smith, who as president of the New

York-based Foundation Center oversees research on philanthropy worldwide. The next generation of philanthropists would be wise to study the history of the Rockefeller Foundation and its handful of peers, Smith said. “The new money goes about this as if there wasn’t any history,” he said. “I think there is a lot to learn — what worked, what didn’t work.” Now dwarfed by the largesse of Bill Gates and other contemporary philanthropists, the Rockefeller Foundation remains ambitious and wellfunded, and is increasingly eager to work in partnerships. It is celebrating its centennial by touting an array of forward-looking projects, ranging from global disease surveillance to strengthening vulnerable cities’ resilience to future calamities. It is also looking back, at a 100-year history replete with triumphs and controversy. The Rockefeller Foundation played pivotal roles in introducing Western medicine to China, developing a vaccine for yellow fever, combating malaria, establishing prestigious schools of public health,

STORIES FROM PAGE C3

DATA: Trend changed Two professors from the Wharton School of Business in Pennsylvania analyzed putting data from the PGA tour between 2004 and 2009. They found that 94 per cent of the golfers they studied made par putts two to four per cent more often than they made birdie putts of a similar distance and difficulty. They discovered that the golfers were willing to sacrifice the success of getting a birdie (a gain) to avoid missing a par putt (a loss). In other words, not losing a stroke by making a par was more important than gaining a stroke by making a birdie. This trend, however, changed as the tournament progressed. In the early rounds on Thursday and Friday, the players’ main focus was on their own performance versus par, but that changed on Saturday and Sunday to their overall score and how it compared to the leader and other golfers who were either ahead or behind them. So what does all this have to do with investing? The first is to develop a game plan which is flexible and can change as life evolves and passes. “Your life and market conditions will change and, as such, your plan should also,” Schutte said. “Your reference point benchmark should not be your neighbour’s portfolio but rather (your portfolio’s) performance relative to this financial plan, which is based upon your goals, objectives and risk tolerance.”

and spreading the lifesaving agricultural advances of the Green Revolution. Recipients of its grants included Albert Einstein, writer Ralph Ellison and choreographer Bill T. Jones. Still, detractors challenged the foundation’s work. From the left, activists accused it of being a front for U.S. corporate and national security interests. From the right, critics over the years faulted its support for population-control programs and for research by Alfred Kinsey and others into human sexuality. During the 1930s, the foundation provided some financial support to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics in Germany, which, among other projects, conducted research related to Nazi-backed eugenics and racial studies. The foundation says that its grants to the institute were focused on straightforward genetic research, and that it cut off support for any projects that veered into social eugenics. Also during the 1930s, and

The second is to maintain a diversified portfolio and avoid focusing on the short term. Don’t segregate individual birdies (gains) and bogeys (losses) but focus instead on the aggregate score card, or your overall portfolio’s performance. Accurately measure the risks and downside of a “bad swing” and don’t be afraid to take calculated and appropriately-sized risks if you have weighed the potential costs of the downside. “As in golf, you may sometimes find that what you initially perceived to be risky or alternatively risk-free behaviour is wrong,” Schutte said. This currently describes investors who wrongly perceive that investing in bonds is riskless while equities are too risky. Over the short term this may be true and investors find their balls in the water, but over the intermediate to longer term, better scores will likely be had by investing in the equity markets.” Keep your eye on the prize, don’t let emotions change your plans and consider hiring a financial adviser. The prospect theory shows that people will, in a negative moment or frame of mind, take gambles they otherwise would not take. “If you have sat out the most recent market gains following the financial collapse early this decade, don’t attempt to get it all back by taking unreasonable risks,” Schutte added. “And consider hiring an adviser. Like a golfer looking for guidance and help through a caddie, consider hiring a financial adviser to help guide you through the ever-evolving market, tax and legal environment.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

continuing after the start of World War II, the foundation funded a project to relocate scholars and artists, many of them Jewish, who were losing their positions in Germany under the Nazis. Even before the foundation was first proposed, there were sharply mixed views about John D. Rockefeller Sr. and the fortune he amassed as the founder of Standard Oil. Rockefeller was “perhaps the most reviled as well as the most generous man in America” in the early 1900s, according to a just-published history of the Rockefeller Foundation which it commissioned to mark its centennial. The book depicts Rockefeller as America’s first billionaire, with a fortune that today would be worth $231 billion. On the advice of his inner circle, Rockefeller sought a congressional charter for a foundation that would co-ordinate his already substantial charitable giving. Some government officials were suspicious of the endeavour and some newspaper editorialists suggested the project was a cynical effort to improve the family’s checkered

image. The measure proposing a charter died in the U.S. Senate, prompting the Rockefellers to turn swiftly to New York state, where lawmakers unanimously approved a charter that was signed into law on May 14, 1913. It was one of three major, still-operating foundations founded in that era, following the Russell Sage Foundation in 1907 and the Carnegie Corporation in 1911. Judith Rodin, who has been the Rockefeller Foundation’s president since 2005, noted in an interview that the Rockefeller family started channeling huge sums into philanthropy at a time when the tax code didn’t reward such practices. “Clearly they were improving their own images,” Rodin said. “But they had strong views that people with that much money should give it back to society.” She also credited the family with establishing a broad, flexible mandate for the foundation so that its leaders, over the decades, could tackle a wide array of challenges, both in the United States and worldwide.

Global automakers’ deadly cars drive up Brazil’s traffic fatalities BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAO PAULO, Brazil — The cars roll endlessly off the local assembly lines of the industry’s biggest automakers, more than 10,000 a day, into the eager hands of Brazil’s new middle class. The shiny new Fords, Fiats, and Chevrolets tell the tale of an economy in full bloom that now boasts the fourth largest auto market in the world. What happens once those vehicles hit the streets, however, is shaping up as a national tragedy, experts say, with thousands of Brazilians dying every year in auto accidents that in many cases shouldn’t have proven fatal. The culprits are the cars themselves, produced with weaker welds, scant safety features and inferior materials compared to similar models manufactured for U.S. and European consumers, say experts and engineers inside the industry. Four of Brazil’s five bestselling cars failed their independent crash tests. Unsafe cars, coupled with the South American nation’s often dangerous driving conditions, have resulted in a Brazilian death rate from passenger car accidents that is nearly four times that of the United States, according to an Associated Press analysis of Brazilian Health Ministry data on deaths compared to the size of each country’s car fleet. In fact, the two countries are moving

in opposite directions on survival rates — the U.S. recorded 40 per cent fewer fatalities from car wrecks in 2010 compared with a decade before. In Brazil, the number killed rose 72 per cent, according to the latest available data. Dr. Dirceu Alves, of Abramet, a Brazilian association of doctors that specializes in treating traffic accident victims, said poorly built cars take an unnecessary toll. “The gravity of the injuries arriving at the hospitals is just ugly,” he said, “injuries that should not be occurring.” Automakers in Brazil point out that their cars meet the nation’s safety laws. Some said they build even tougher cars for the country because of its poorly maintained roadways and rejected any notion that cost-cutting in production leads to fatalities. But the country’s few safety activists perceive a deadly double standard, with automakers earning more money from selling cars that offer drivers fewer safeguards — a worrisome gap for new middle-class households, whose surging spending power has outpaced consumer protections taken for granted in more developed countries. The problem extends beyond Brazil, with economic forecasts showing the majority of global growth in auto sales taking place in emerging-market nations as the world’s auto fleet doubles to 1.5 billion by 2020.

Sarah Polley’s moments of truth ‘STORIES WE TELL’ IS ABOUT HER MOTHER, HER FAMILY AND A SECRET BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES The easy way to describe Stories We Tell is that it’s a documentary, by the Canadian actress and director Sarah Polley, about her mother, her family and a secret that had a seismic effect on all their lives. A more nuanced way would be to say that Stories We Tell, opening in May, is a delicate, funny, shocking, multilayered melange of nonfiction and drama, a brilliant collage that both addresses and exemplifies the slippery nature of memory and narrative itself. Stories We Tell is simple: It’s about loss, grief and a longburied truth. Stories We Tell is complicated (see “loss,” “grief” and “long-buried truth”). It’s disarmingly straightforward and craftily deceptive — all in the name of emotional honesty that is all too rare onscreen, not to mention in life. It’s a rigorously constructed, philosophically deep plunge into family dynamics and personal candor that owes most of its restrained beauty to the fact that it lays bare a story Polley has spent much of her adult life not wanting to tell. “When it first happened . . . it was the last thing in the world I would have wanted to make a film about,” Polley said. “The impetus for making the film in the first place was how many stories were coming out of this story, and how many contradictions and complementary details were coming out. . . . I guess it made me think about how common an experience it is to have a family history that’s so subjective, and so different from the history of others in the same family, and how often members of the same family come up with different versions of the same events.” What were those events? The facts are these: Polley, now 34, grew up in Toronto with her parents, Diane and

Actress and director Sarah Polley is directing a documentary about her own family, chronicling stories leading to the revelation that she is a product of an extramarital affair. Michael, and four siblings. Diane, an actress who appeared on local television and in theater, died when Sarah was 11. But she left behind some lingering questions that Sarah eventually explored and brings to the surface through interviews with family and friends, archival records and cinematic techniques that rival Errol Morris in their seamless re-creation of personal and social history. Stories We Tell is so carefully calibrated that it’s possible to finish watching the film and want to watch it again immediately to dissect the subtlety of its craft. Or, maybe you’d just want to spend more time with Diane Polley, who emerges from Stories We Tell as a vibrant, palpable presence — a charismatic, fun-loving party animal and compulsive telephone-talker who exerts as seductive a pull onscreen as she did with the myriad people who loved and

were confounded by her. Polley admits that the process of filming the movie “strangely made [her loss] a lot harder. There were so many times I felt like I should stop, mostly for mental health reasons.” As the film progresses, a painful discovery is revealed that sends Stories We Tell into ever more surprising trajectories. “Once I felt I’d processed [that discovery] and gone through the more shocking and painful parts of it, then I had to make this movie. It felt like rubbing salt in a wound over and over again.” If Stories We Tell was difficult for Polley, the film itself bears no trace anxiety or resentment. Indeed, it’s a lyrically expressive, often exuberant evocation of 1970s life that often resembles a Canadian version of The Brady Bunch, given a mordant zing from the present-day interviews with Pol-

ley’s funny, self-aware brothers and sisters. The film is given its structure from a narration provided by her father, Michael, reading from his own memoir, which he can be seen taping in a recording studio, complaining sardonically at his daughter’s stern direction. Even though Stories We Tell is nominally about her mother, Polley believes now that the reasons she made the film had more to do with her father. The most meaningful thing about her discovery and the way it reverberated, she says, wasn’t her mother or her secret, but “what felt most original and unique was my dad’s response, which was so unexpected and elegant, so full of compassion and humanity.” The most moving passage of Stories We Tell comes toward the end, when Polley allows the camera to rest on the nowgrown children Diane left behind, their faces offering wordless, wounded testaments

to the lingering effects of her loss. In many ways, this film is a natural outgrowth of Polley’s directorial career, which began with the masterful Away From Her and continued with Take This Waltz. Both address issues of memory, marriage and selfhood similar to those that animate Stories We Tell. A few years ago, she felt compelled to write director Terry Gilliam an open letter recounting her experiences as a child actor on the set of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which left her feeling endangered and traumatized — another case of memory and story colliding. For her next directing project, Polley has optioned Alias Grace, the Margaret Atwood novel she quotes at the beginning of her new film: “When you’re in the middle of a story, it isn’t a story at all, but only a confusion.” Giving voice to her version of her experiences, as well as those of everyone else involved, has a resonance that is almost political for Polley, who is well known in Canada for her activism in anti-poverty and progressive electoral politics. “I do feel like it was really important that everybody get a chance to be heard,” she explains. As for Diane, the mother she lost so young, the process of making “Stories We Tell” has had the contradictory effect of bringing her back and keeping her all the more elusive. “Even in the middle of all the noise and points of view of who she was, and getting to speak to all her close friends and family members, just immersing myself in those contradictory versions of her, I do have the sense that I know her better after making the film,” Polley says. “But,” she adds wistfully, “I will never know if that’s true.” Stories We Tell (108 minutes) is rated PG-13 for sexuality, brief language and smoking.

Author Alison Wearing writes ‘poetic’ memoir ‘Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter’ Writer Alison Wearing was 12 when she learned her father was gay. She was sitting in her family kitchen in Peterborough, Ont., when her mother was unloading the dishwasher and broke the news to her. It was a bombshell that had only dropped on her mother just a few months prior, when she found a love letter her husband had written to a man he was having an affair with — on their son’s ninth birthday. “My dad had been on sabbatical in Germany and he had come back and he was just sort of (acting) funny and she said he was preoccupied with this letter,” the author of the newly released memoir Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter said in a recent interview. “He was sitting outside in the backyard just writing this letter, writing frantically, and after he went out, she went and found the letter and that’s how she found out.” As Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter: Growing Up with a Gay Dad (Alfred A. Knopf Canada) explains, Wearing understands why her father had to deceive them. After all, it was 1980 and homosexuality was still taboo. Coming out could have meant he would never see their three children again. “She would have had legal support for that position at that time, so I can understand him (thinking), ‘Maybe tomorrow, or maybe next week I’ll tell her. Maybe once

I get back from sabbatical,”’ said Wearing, who lives in Stratford, Ont. “I can understand why that just never happened for him. He never found the right time.” Wearing writes in a poetic, humorous and heartfelt style about her now-77-year-old dad Joe, her family and herself. She changed most of the names in the book for privacy reasons. Her mom was a marathon runner and concert pianist while her dad was a professor of political science who loved to cook, garden and conduct choirs. He was also a devoted Liberal and big fan of Pierre Trudeau, who — as Wearing touches on in the book — befriended her in the last 10 years of his life. Wearing’s parents had great respect for each other and never fought. She and her brothers felt everything was fine between them, even when their dad began spending more time away from home. “The thing is, my dad wasn’t miserable at home,” said Wearing, whose first book was the travel memoir Honeymoon in Purdah: An Iranian Journey. “We had a pretty great life. We had a lot of fun and there was a lot of love in my family. It just wasn’t the traditional heterosexual kind of love. “But in many ways it was a lot healthier than what a lot of my friends were dealing with in their lovely heterosexual families.” When her dad began secretly exploring his homosexuality, he went to gay conferences, night clubs and Gay Fathers of Toronto

meetings. And he had trysts with everyone from a postman to a Roman Catholic priest to actor-director Richard Monette, who became artistic director of the Stratford Festival. Toronto police were raiding gay bath houses around that time, and Wearing writes about that as well as the history of gay culture. When Wearing’s father came out to his family, she only told one friend and never quite felt like she belonged in their community. Still, she enjoyed hanging out with her father’s gay friends. The book stems from Wearing’s one-woman show, Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter, which debuted in March 2011 in Mexico, where she was living at the time. Her father and his partner attended opening night, and although he “felt quite embarrassed” that his private life had been made very public, he was heartened by the reaction. “He was just approached by person after person after person after person, who not only congratulated him and said how inspiring his story was for them, but who then were really interested in telling my father about their lives,” said Wearing. “So suddenly the focus was not on him at all, actually. His story ... resonated with other people.” Wearing said the book “just poured out so easily and ... was so incredibly pleasurable to write.” Wearing plans to tour her stage show Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter starting Thursday, May 16 at the Stratford SpringWorks Festival.

Shooting wounds 17 in New Orleans MOST WOUNDS NOT LIFE THREATENING AFTER GUNMEN OPEN FIRE AT MOTHER’S DAY SECOND-LINE PARADE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a Mother’s Day secondline parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 17 people, police said. Police spokeswoman Remi Braden said in an email that many of the 17 victims were grazed and most of the wounds weren’t life-threatening. No deaths were reported. Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas told reporters that a 10-year-old girl was grazed in the shooting around 2 p.m. She was in good condition. He said three or four people were in surgery, but he didn’t have their conditions. Officers were interspersed with the marchers, which is routine for such events. As many as 400 people joined in the procession that stretched for about 3 blocks, though only half that many were in the immediate vicinity of the shooting, Serpas said. Police saw three suspects running from the scene in the city’s 7th Ward neighbourhood. No arrests had been made as of late afternoon. Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band. They can be impromptu or planned and are sometimes described as moving block parties. A social club called The Original Big 7 organized Sunday’s event. The group was founded in 1996 at the Saint Bernard housing projects, according to its MySpace page. The neighbourhood where the shooting happened was a mix of low-income and middle-class row houses, some boarded up. As of last year, the neighbourhood’s population was about 60 per cent of its preHurricane Katrina level. Police vowed to make swift arrests. “We’ll get them. We have good resources in this neighbourhood,” Serpas said.

New Orleans police officers investigate the scene at the intersection of Frenchmen and N. Villere Streets after authorities say gunfire injured at least a dozen people, including a child, at a Mother’s Day second-line parade in New Orleans on Sunday. No deaths were reported.

PM says Turkey won’t be drawn into Syria conflict GOVERNMENT BELIEVES TWIN CAR BOMBINGS THAT KILLED 46 CARRIED OUT BY TURKS WITH TIES TO SYRIAN PRO-GOVERNMENT GROUPS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s prime minister vowed Sunday his country won’t be drawn into Syria’s civil war, despite twin car bombings the government believes were carried out by a group of Turks with close ties to progovernment groups in Syria. The bombings left 46 people dead and marked the biggest incident of violence across the border since the start of Syria’s bloody civil war, raising fears of Turkey being pulled deeper into a conflict that threatens to destabilize the region. Syria has rejected allegations it was behind the attacks. But Turkish authorities said Sunday they had detained nine Turkish citizens with links to the Syrian intelligence agency in connection with the bombings in the border town of Reyhanli, a hub for Syrian refugees and rebels just across from Syria’s Idlib province. Harsh accusations have flown between Turkey and Syria, signalling a sharp escalation of already high tensions between the two former allies. But Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested that Turkey would not be drawn militarily in retaliation. He insisted Turkey would “maintain our extreme cool-headedness in the

face of efforts and provocations to drag us into the bloody quagmire.” “Those who target Turkey will be held to account sooner or later,” he said. “Great states retaliate more powerfully, but when the time is right... We are taking our steps in a coolheaded manner.” Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters in Berlin those detained were linked to a Marxist terrorist group. Sabah, a Turkish newspaper close to the government, reported Sunday that authorities suspect the leader of a former Marxist group, Mirhac Ural, now believed to be based in Syria, may have revived his group and ordered the attack. The group, Acilciler, was one of many Marxist groups active in Turkey through the 1970s and 1980s, and was long-rumoured to have been formed by the Syrian intelligence agency. Many of its militants allegedly included ethnic Arab Turks belonging to a sect close to Syria’s Alawites. “Some believe that now that relations (with Turkey) have deteriorated again, Syria may have reactivated the group to cause turmoil in Turkey,” said Nihat Ali Ozcan, a terrorism expert at the Ankara-based Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey. Guler said a ringleader was among

Strong victory could make it easier for Pakistan’s Sharif to tackle problems ELECTION BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAHORE, Pakistan — Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif looked poised Sunday to return to office with a resounding election victory — a mandate that could make it easier to tackle the country’s daunting problems, including growing power outages, weak economic growth and shaky government finances. Questions remain, however, about Sharif’s stance on another key issue: violent Islamic extremism. Critics have accused his party of being soft on radicals because it hasn’t cracked down on militant groups in its stronghold of Punjab province. That could be a concern for the United States, which has pushed Pakistan for years to take stronger action against a variety of Islamic militant groups, especially fighters staging cross-border attacks against American troops in Afghanistan. As unofficial returns rolled in Sunday, a day after the election, state TV estimates put Sharif close to the majority in the national assembly needed to govern outright for the next five years. Even if he falls short of that threshold, independent candidates almost certain to swing in Sharif’s favour would give his Pakistan Muslim League-N party a ruling majority. That would put the 63-year-old Sharif in a much stronger position than the outgoing Pakistan People’s Party, which ruled for five years with a weak coalition that was often on the verge of collapse. Pakistan suffers from a growing energy crisis, with some areas experiencing power outages for up to 18 hours a

day. That has seriously hurt the economy, pushing growth below 4 per cent a year. The country needs a growth rate of twice that to provide jobs for its expanding population of 180 million. Ballooning energy subsidies and payments to keep failing public enterprises afloat have steadily eaten away at the government’s finances, forcing the country to seek another unpopular bailout from the International Monetary Fund. Pakistan also has an ineffective tax system, depriving the government of funds. Sharif, the son of a wealthy industrialist, is seen by many as more likely to tackle the country’s economic problems effectively because much of his party’s support comes from businessmen. He is also expected to push for better relations with Pakistan’s archenemy and neighbour India, which could help the economy. The Pakistan People’s Party was widely perceived to have done little on the economic front. “Anything better than zero and you have already improved on the PPP’s performance in terms of managing the economy,” said Cyril Almeida, a columnist for Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper. The former ruling party was soundly beaten in Saturday’s election. Sharif’s party was leading in contests for 127 seats, just short of the 137 directly elected seats needed to form a majority, state TV said. The PPP was ahead in contests for 32 national assembly seats, a significant drop from the 91 seats the party won in the 2008 election. Independent candidates were leading in more than 20 contests, and they historically join the party that forms the government, which would leave the Pakistan Muslim League-N with a majority.

those detained, and more arrests were expected. “We have determined that some of them were involved in the planning, in the exploration and in the hiding of the vehicles,” he said. Saturday’s twin bombings 15 minutes apart damaged some 735 businesses and 120 apartments, leaving smoking hulks of buildings and charred cars. It also wounded dozens of people, including 50 who remained hospitalized Sunday. Syria and Turkey became adversaries early on during the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad that erupted in March 2011. Since then, Turkey has firmly sided with the Syrian opposition, hosting its leaders along with rebel commanders and providing refuge to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees. Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said the aim of the attack was to stoke tensions between Turks and Syrian refugees. The town is home to members of Turkey’s Arab Alevi community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, while many of the refugees who have fled Syria are Sunni. On Sunday, hundreds of people marched in the city of Antakya, near Reyhanli, protesting the government for its Syria policies and support for

the rebels — which some believe has exacerbated the conflict in Syria. Turks in Hatay, the southern province where the town is located, complain that the rebels roam freely, disrupting calm in Turkey’s border regions. Witnesses said they saw Turks attacking Syrian registered cars in Reyhanli soon after Saturday’s attack and some Syrians avoided going out in the streets. Erdogan asked citizens in Reyhanli to remain calm and not “fall for the provocations.” “The prime minister brought this on to us,” said a business owner, who asked to be identified only by his first name, Mehmet. “We have no peace anymore. The Syrians are coming in and out, and we don’t know if they are bringing in explosives, taking out arms.” Authorities had so far identified 35 of the dead, three of them as Syrians. Families began burying their loved ones in funerals on Sunday. Earlier in Damascus, Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi rejected Turkey’s charges, saying that “Syria didn’t and will never undertake such acts because our values don’t allow us to do this.” He accused Turkey of destabilizing the border areas between the two countries by supporting the rebels, who the regime has labeled terrorists.

The government deployed soldiers and federal police to the area Sunday in the event of a bigger eruption, and officials closed off a seven-square-mile (18-square-kilometre) zone around the cone of the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano. State authorities prepared shelters. Popocatepetl has put out small eruptions of ash almost daily since a round of activity began in 1994. The eruptions started strengthening two weeks ago and have increased even more this weekend.

Jerry Hall, daughter share style tips, outfits AND AT THE MOMENT, THE SAME HOUSE BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Like mother, like daughter. And Jerry Hall and Georgia May Jagger do seem to like each other quite a bit. Together, they enjoy riding horses, spa days, gardening, cooking and reading the Sunday newspaper, especially their horoscopes. They share clothes now, too, and are starring in a campaign for Sunglass Hut, their first major joint modeling gig. The key to the closeness between Hall, 56, and Jagger, 21? “Mom’s always right,” Jagger says dutifully — and with a laugh. However, Hall says she is increasingly taking advice, especially when it comes to fashion and style, from Jagger, who has modeled for H&M and Madonna’s Material Girl line. And it was Jagger who persuaded her mother to bring out an old leopardprint Thierry Mugler dress and dark cat-eye sunglasses on this day. “My daughter has turned my old clothes ’vintage,”’ Hall says. But when one of Hall’s items goes missing, Jagger says it’s her sister, Elizabeth, also a model, who has taken it. Hall doesn’t quite buy it. “I have spent hours looking for something, and then I see the girls wearing it. They both do it!” she says. Hall and Jagger are reunited temporarily under the same London roof. Jagger is doing some home renovations, so she moved in with mom. They were together in New York for a promotional event for Sunglass Hut. Their opinions do differ when asked who is recognized more often

Jagger says Hall, Hall says Jagger. “It seems like she’s on TV every five minutes in England.” Hall, a Texas native, was a rising modeling industry star in the late

1970s when she met — and later married and divorced — Mick Jagger. She’s broadened her career to include some acting, including several stage productions of The Graduate, including an upcoming Australian

version, as seductress Mrs. Robinson. Jagger says she goes to her mother for career advice. “She always says, ‘Have fun but take it seriously.’ And then she says, ‘Be on time.”’

Program aims to work knots out of foreign physio training BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Claudia Moura came armed with a newly minted degree in physiotherapy from Brazil when she landed in Alberta as a graduate student in October 2002. Eleven years later, the 36-year-old is still working tirelessly to find work as a physiotherapist in Edmonton. Moura is one of 800 international students looking to be certified as a physiotherapist in Canada. But they face obstacles — particularly a national competency exam that about 40 per cent, including Moura, have failed. Canadian post-secondary schools have taken notice of the issue and are looking to shrink the skills gap for internationally educated students. The University of Alberta launched a two-year pilot project last week for 17 international students hoping to pass the exam and practise in Canada. “I always, always dreamed about something like the bridging course,” said Moura, who’s part of the inaugural class at the school. “I think this is absolutely amazing — one in a million.” The first time Moura took the exam was 2011. She said the time leading up to it was extremely stressful as she dealt with interminable paperwork over her training in Brazil. While she waited, she worked labour jobs for which she was overqualified. “I wasn’t prepared because I didn’t know what to expect from the exam.” Part of that difficulty comes from international differences in the scope of practice, said Linda Woodhouse, an associate professor in the University of Alberta’s physical therapy department. For example, in countries such as the Philippines, physiotherapists often get direct orders from doctors, while physiotherapists in Canada directly assess individuals and decide on treatment. “The standards and the context of clinical practice and the cultural differences are such that to pass a written and clinical exam is very difficult for people coming in,” Woodhouse said. Bernadette Martin, associate chair of the department, said the university is hoping to change that with the 13-month course. The program, funded by a Health Canada grant, blends distance, web and in-person components in Edmonton and a satellite campus in Calgary. Demand for physiotherapists is on the rise due to aging baby boomers, said Michael Brennan, chief executive of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Supply, meanwhile, is diminishing. In Alberta, 20 per cent of 2,400 physiotherapists are planning to retire in the next five years. Intake at post-secondary schools is limited. Admission into the graduate, entry-level physical therapy program at the University of Alberta is capped at 110 students. “We recognize that the Canadian labour force and our health education system probably won’t be able to keep up with that demand,” Brennan said. The staffing gap is partly being filled with improvements in training and education for physical therapy assistants, he added. Moura was able to find work as a physical therapy assistant five years after arriving in Canada in 2007. For Moura, the effort to attract more international students means an end to a painstaking decade of waiting. “People really look up to physiotherapists here,” Moura said. “To be able to say that I’m a physiotherapist in Canada means a lot.”

Milder winters allow lemons and olives on Vancouver Island With cold winters and less than tropical summers most Canadians don’t think of planting lemon or olive trees in their backyards. But thanks to global warming, farmer Bob Duncan has been growing a piece of the subtropics on Vancouver Island for 20 years. Duncan and his wife Verna, who own Fruit Trees and More Nursery, bought their property in North Saanich with the intention of growing fruit trees. While they initially focused on temperate fruits like apples, pears, peaches, cherries and apricots, the couple has had thousands of customers interested in growing lemons and other produce common in the Mediterranean. “I think it is within reach of every homeowner right now living on the south coast of British Columbia to grow their own citrus and these other types of Mediterranean and subtropical fruits,” said Duncan. According to the nursery owner, it is not the warmer summers that are allowing the growth of Mediterranean and subtropical fruits; rather, it’s the milder winters. He said he’s able to grow more types of trees outside of the greenhouse than when he started. The first lemon tree he planted outside nearly 20 years ago now yields several hundred lemons a year, which the Duncans use to make and sell lemon bars, reserving any surplus fruit for personal use. “The last serious freezes we had here were in the late ’80s, early ’90s,” said Duncan. “Back in the ’30s to ’60s every few years we would have a cold snap of a week or more du-

ration where the temperatures were minus 10 (Celssius) or worse. You could skate on local ponds and that basically doesn’t happen any more.” Duncan said citrus fruits like lemons and limes don’t need high summer tempera-

tures; they’ll ripen during cooler summers. “In other words they can be grown outside,” said Duncan. “They are still sheltered on a south wall, but they are outside.” But lemons aren’t the only typically warm

climate tree becoming popular on B.C.’s south coast. Michael Pierce of the Saturna Olive Consortium said personal interest from him and some friends was the inspiration to begin importing olive trees from California. Then they re-

alized if they were interested in growing olives, likely others were too. “We brought in a couple hundred the first year and there was a pretty good response,” said Pierce. “The next year we brought in 500, and since then it’s been

just me doing it.” Although Pierce, whose company is based on Saturna Island in the southern Gulf Islands chain, has found some varieties are more resilient in cold winters, he continues to import others to experiment.
