SAFE AT SECOND
ASOOAHUM CENTRE
Flood fears prompt second thoughts BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Concerns over potential flooding at the Riverside Drive site earmarked for the Asooahum Centre did not fall on deaf ears. Tanya Schur, executive director of the Red Deer Native Friendship Centre, said one day after Red Deer city council approved the site that challenges have emerged and the society will need to ensure it is the best spot for the development. “It’s a good site,” said Schur. “We chose it together with the information we had after a long and very powerful process of us sitting together. We made the best decision with the information we had at the time. I think we need to do some more work before we move forward in the development phase.” On Monday, Red Deer city council unanimously approved the rezoning of the 3.5 acres of land at 4615 Riverside Drive to start the process for the society’s long-awaited integrated affordable housing and cultural centre. The location was narrowed down from 20 looked at by a joint committee made up of city councillors, administration and members of the aboriginal community. A public hearing at council drew more than 30 speakers who mostly offered support for the project but in some cases, not the location. Nearby business owners in the Riverside Light Industrial Area recalled the impact of the 2005 flood and questioned the logic of building residences on a floodplain. But council stood by the two Stantec Engineering studies that concluded the development area is above the floodplain. Schur said there are definitely some challenges and concerns by both businesses and the aboriginal community. “This is a good site but we have to continue doing our due diligence as we move into the development phase,” said Schur. Mayor Morris Flewwelling said this was not a tough decision for council because the joint-committee tasked with finding a site worked diligently and with care over the last few months. He said the perspectives heard at the public hearing were valid, including those who opposed the site because of potential flooding, tree loss and setback from the landfill site.

School bus changes will force students to wait for a ride BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Some Red Deer public school students will arrive for class up to 40 minutes early next fall, due to bus route changes being fuelled by provincial funding cuts. At schools such as Grandview Elementary, only one school bus, instead of two, will do all routes to save money. This means the one bus will make two trips, so students will either have to wait for a ride to school, or wait in the school yard for a ride home. “I’m extremely upset by this ridiculous decision,” said Laura Freeman, mother of a Grandview Elementary School student, in an email she sent to the Red Deer Public School Board. Freeman compared it to unnecessarily extending an already full work day for adults. “I would like to see you arrive 40 minutes prior to work (after a . . . 25-40 minute bus ride) and hang around outside “playing” before you can start your job.” How could productivity not be impacted, ques-
tioned Freeman, who believes the outcome will be more parents opting to drive their kids than subjecting them to this extra wait time for busing to or from school. Cody McClintock, associate superintendent of business services of the public school district, said this was not a decision administrators made lightly. But given the loss of the provincial fuel funding grant, he said it was considered a better option than taking money out of the classroom to put towards busing. The Red Deer Public School board opted to change the busing patterns for Grandview, as well as Mattie McCullough Elementary Schools, West Park Elementary and Middle School, Mountview and G. W. Smith Elementary Schools because of the loss of a fuel subsidy grant from the province. Some students will not have to wait for a ride as long as others, because the district was able to “pair” some school bus routes for better efficiencies.

Beaver caught in oil spill released back into the wild BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

Oily the beaver is released at the site of an abandoned beaver lodge near Sundre.
PLEASE RECYCLE
A one-week old baby beaver, which was caught in the Plains Midstream Canada oil pipeline spill last June on the Red Deer River, is back in the wild. On June 7, 2012, up to 3,000 barrels (475,000 litres) of light sour crude oil was released into the river from a ruptured pipeline about one km north of Sundre and oil travelled as far as Gleniffer Lake. The kit named Oily was found coated in oil close to the original spill site and was taken to Medicine River Wildlife Centre. “Oily was a teeny, weeny little guy, about 500 grams or so, when he came to us. Soaked in oil and sitting in a shoe box,” said Carol Kelly, executive director of the centre, on Tuesday. He was released at the site of an abandoned beaver lodge near Sundre on Sunday night weighing about 25 pounds. “He’s grown and thrived. Hates people. Totally a lovely wild beaver.” Oily was the first victim of the oil spill. Members of the Sundre Petroleum Operators Group met Kelly in a parking lot near James River to hand him over for treatment.

The centre also took in a baby muskrat and adult beaver from the oil spill that were released back into the wild last summer. A Canada goose and baby crow did not survive. “When we did the autopsies on them, their lungs were filled with oil. The birds got their feathers soaked that they weren’t able to swim. They tended to inhale oil as they were drowning. It was the mammals that did better.” Kelly said she will be returning to Oily’s lodge Wednesday to check up on him. He was swimming around having a good time the last time she saw him — a big difference from when he arrived at the centre. “He was pretty bad. For the first couple months we had him he’d gain weight and then he’d lose weight. I think he’d inhaled stuff so he had compromised lungs.” Oily required antibiotics and a dedicated staff member helped him pull through, she said. By the time he was released he was eating huge amounts of poplar and willow. He was also fed vegetable scraps and a small amount grain and seeds. “He’ll probably live by himself down there until a female comes his way.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

More charges laid against Waunch
LUCKY WINNER
BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The man who allegedly led police on a wild night of car chases, theft and shooting at Red Deer RCMP now faces 15 charges, including attempted murder. Andrew Allen Waunch, 30, of no fixed address was arrested Monday morning after two carjackings, two police chases and a shooting aimed at a police vehicle just outside of Red Deer. Waunch, also known as Navi, was wanted in connection with two incidents — an attempted murder in Sylvan Lake that took place on June 3 and a gunpoint carjacking on Friday near Olds. On Friday Sylvan Lake RC- Andrew Waunch MP put out a notice they were looking for Waunch and a second individual, Ashley Chambers, as suspects in the attempted murder and the carjacking incidents. Chambers is still at large. The investigation into the attempted murder is continuing and the police are releasing little information. The name of the victim is being withheld by police to protect his identity and ensure his safety as the investigation continues. Sunday evening at about 7 p.m. Red Deer City RCMP were called to a reported armed carjacking. Four hours later police located the stolen vehicle in Creekside Trailer Park. Police attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled from police. A pursuit ensued and police followed the vehicle outside of Red Deer where shots were fired from the suspect vehicle at a police vehicle. The suspect vehicle evaded police and was later located, abandoned, near Olds. A second vehicle was reported stolen, this time a black Dodge truck. Through police investigation it was determined the truck, driven by the same suspect from the earlier incidents in Red Deer, had returned to the city. Police located the vehicle in the south end of the city and attempted a traffic stop, but the truck fled and another pursuit ensured. Additional Red Deer RCMP members set up ahead of the fleeing vehicle and deployed a spike belt. This caused the tires of the suspect vehicle to deflate. A foot pursuit ensued with the suspect attempting to flee police. Waunch was caught by RCMP members and taken into custody. No one, including police officers involved in this incident, sustained any injuries.

ASOOAHUM: Major step forward He acknowledged there is risk for flooding and there will be some tree loss. Flewwelling said that this is a major step forward for the community and it comes on the heels of three other important local events relating to aboriginal culture. Last week the Truth and Reconciliation hearings and the Remembering the Children ceremony honoured the experience of many aboriginals at a Red Deer residential school. A month ago city council approved the first permanent monument to celebrate aboriginal culture in Red Deer, the Stone Circle, a series of 20 boulders that will be arranged in a circle in Coronation Park. “June 21 is Aboriginal Day,” said Flewwelling. “The stars have really aligned on the focus on the indigenous people of this area . . . June is aboriginal month in Red Deer.” Now the city and the society will next hammer out both legal and development agreements. A design charrette where the community plays a part in the designs is planned for June 19. A location for the event has not been chosen yet.

Sandra Chapman of Mirror holds up what she says may be a very valuable bit of currency. After collecting a $2,500 payout on a video lottery terminal at the Jackpot Casino in Red Deer on Sunday, June 9, Chapman noticed one of the bills she received had a serrated edge and was different than any other bill she has ever seen before. “This just doesn’t happen,” said Chapman. She plans to take the bill to an expert to have it appraised. Someone Chapman spoke to said the bill could be worth $6,000 to a collector. If it is that would make her winnings that much sweeter.
Newlywed survivor of Burns Lake blast missing BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BURNS LAKE, B.C. — A newlywed who survived a fiery inferno in the Burns Lake, B.C., sawmill explosion with serious burns is being remembered as a fighter and a lifesaver. Sid Neville is missing and presumed drowned after a storm swamped his boat as he was fishing in the frigid waters of Francois Lake, 25 kilometres south of Burns Lake, on June 7. Neville’s 21-year-old nephew said his uncle pushed him onto the overturned hull of the boat, saving his life, but the 35-year old slipped underwater himself and did not resurface. He survived a blast at the Babine Forest Products sawmill in January 2011, when two workers died and BettyLyn Baker, Red Deer Native Friendship Society board chairwoman, said this is the beginning of building strong relationships within the community. “It is validating and making sure that Red Deer stays a strong community in its diversity,” said Baker. The society is hoping to have shovels in the ground by the end of the summer. The 3.5-acre parcel of remnant land, northeast of the Lions Campground, remains separated by an easement and a power line along the previous road alignment. A vision for the Asooahum Centre paints a picture of affordable housing, a cultural centre and outdoor ceremonial space. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
BUS: District still has transportation shortfall According to McClintock, the changes at all six schools will save the division — which contracts bus services with Prairie Bus Lines — a total of $175,000. But even after making these adjustments, the district will be left with a shortfall of $185,000 in the student transportation budget. McClintock noted the district had a transportation deficit even before the recent loss of the fuel subsidy grant. Part of the reason is that the province

only funds busing for students who live 2.4 km from school. This was considered a long way for young children to walk, McClintock said, so the district decided some time ago to bus all students who live further than 1.6 km. “Part of it is due to the choices we made locally,” made in the students’ best interest, he added. The school bus “double routing” was already successfully piloted at Mattie McCullough School, said McClintock who didn’t hear many complaints. But Freeman remains concerns about students waiting outside in inclement weather and about supervision levels. She wonders whether special needs children would get appropriate care while waiting in the school yard. McClintock said all children will be properly supervised. He noted that supervision was expanded from one person to two at Mattie McCullough School. As for rainy or cold weather, McClintock said school staff will determine when to let students into the building. Alberta Education spokesperson Tim Chamberlin said his department made the fuel funding cut after being asked to look for efficiencies surrounding the March budget. All school districts have some flexible funding and the ability to make “creative decisions” so busing money does not have to come from the classroom, he added. But Freeman blames the provincial government for reducing its budget on the backs of “the most vulnerable, who are our future.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

19 others were injured. Just weeks ago, Neville married his longtime sweetheart Marley Neville. Dozens of searchers looked for him on the cold lake over the weekend, but the search effort has been scaled back. In between bouts of tears, Marley Neville said she was hoping the RCMP would ask navy divers to help find her husband’s body to “help bring him home.” His mother-in-law, Val White, said Neville was looking forward to better things after being injured in the sawmill explosion. “It was a beautiful wedding and he was saying his vows, like he meant every single word and 13 days later he’s gone,” White said through tears. “We can’t make any sense of this. Why did this happen?”

Oilsands cleanup proves tough BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s energy industry has found that cleaning up oilsands tailings is much harder than it thought. The province’s energy regulator says all oilsands companies affected by tailings reduction rules missed what were supposed to be legally binding targets — some by wide margins. All were given extra years to meet reductions that should have been done by now. “It’s tougher than they thought,� Terry Abel of the Energy Resources Conservation Board said Tuesday. “It’s tougher than we thought, too.� Reclaiming mine tailings has been one of the industry’s major environmental challenges. Much of that waste material is composed of particles so fine they take years or even decades to settle out of tailings ponds. Without a way to hasten the process, oilsands tailings ponds have grown from 50 square kilometres in 2006 to 176 square kilometres now. In 2009, the board released regulations that were developed in consultation with industry and were designed to force energy companies to produce fewer tailings. By this year, operators were supposed to be removing at least half of those fine particles from their waste water and storing them so that they’d be firm enough to support a vehicle within a year. But a recent report, which covers up to the end of 2012, found that none of the four licensed operators that so far come under the regulation was on track to meet that goal. Suncor (TSX:SU), supposed to be removing 30 per cent of its particles, was capturing 8.5 per cent of them. Syncrude’s (TSX:COS, TSX:SU, TSX:IMO) Mildred Lake project was removing 8.8 per cent of the
12 per cent required — although it exceeded targets in previous years. Shell’s (NYSE:RDS) Muskeg River and Jackpine projects, on the hook for 23.5 and 15.5 per cent removals respectively, were at 8.8 per cent and zero. Five other oilsands licensees are either not yet producing or haven’t been producing long enough to be required to report their removals. The energy conservation board has given most operators, including those who aren’t yet reporting, until the end of 2015 to meet the 50 per cent guideline. Some, such as Imperial Oil’s (TSX:IMO) Kearl and Shell’s Muskeg River projects, have until 2016. Canadian Natural Resouces Ltd.(TSX:CNQ) gets until 2017. New, unproven technologies just aren’t up to speed yet, said Abel. Some operators, such as Suncor, hoped to dry thin layers of tailings in the sun, but have found the weather unco-operative. “(Our system) is still a relatively new technology in the early stages of development and commercialization,� said spokeswoman Sneh Setal. “Since the first trial back in 2008, we’ve learned a great deal about the practical challenges of implementing (it) on a commercial scale.� Syncrude had reliability problems with a tailings facility that prevented it from meeting its 2012 targets, said spokeswoman Cheryl Robb. “We’re pretty proud of the plan we’ve put together,� Robb said. “We recognize we have more work to do.� Companies have promised to catch up by removing a higher percentage of particles in future years. But the board notes that the longer the wait, the harder the catch-up. “Delaying the previously approved annual fines
capture will make achieving the required cumulative fines capture in later years much more difficult,� says its analysis of the plan from Canadian Natural Resources. No enforcement has been taken against any of the companies. Abel said operators have been working hard to meet the goals, collaborating on best practices and spending billions on tailings reductions. “The big issue is that despite all of those efforts, they’re running into problems making that work within those complex operations,� Abel said. “We found that both they and ourselves were probably aggressive in setting those targets and believing we could get those performances as quickly as we were hoping.� Enforcement is a possibility if operators still aren’t meeting their goals after the next report, expected in two years. “We fully expect ... if they don’t make progress on those operations, we’ll take action against them in the future,� said Abel. That’s not good enough, said Jennifer Grant of the Pembina Institute, a think-tank focused on developing innovative sustainable energy solutions. She points out that the board had already allowed operators some flexibility on deadlines, even though regulations were written with industry input. “There’s been a real shift in terms of that original thinking and what we’re seeing today.� Grant suggested there are many new tailings technologies available and answers are probably nearer than industry suggests. “I don’t think addressing tailings is an insurmountable technical challenge. Operators could meet the tailings directive. It’s really a question of whether they’ll be forced to.�

Flooding causes evacuations FORT MCMURRAY — Flooding continues to cause problems for people in a northeastern Alberta city. A trailer park in Fort McMurray has been evacuated, as well as a few other homes in low lying areas of the city. Annie Chatelain, who lives on high ground in Fort McMurray, says two major parks are completely flooded. Chatelain has lived in Fort McMurray for decades and has never seen flooding like this. She says several areas of the city are impassable because of flooded streets, adding even in her neighbourhood, water has been seeping into basements. Chatelain says everyone’s sump pumps are working overtime. He also faces charges of use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, being an occupant of a motor vehicle knowing there was a firearm in the vehicle and two counts of flight from police. Waunch is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday in Red Deer provincial court. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

EDMONTON — The board that runs Alberta’s health system openly defied Health Minister Fred Horne Tuesday by refusing to claw back bonus payouts to 99 executives. Stephen Lockwood, the chair of Alberta Health Services, took the defiance a step further by suggesting Premier Alison Redford’s government is suppressing financial details of his organization. He also criticized government’s Tuesday announcement to review the governance of all boards, starting with AHS. “We’re talking about autonomy and integrity,� Lockwood, speaking from Calgary, told reporters on a conference call after the board affirmed its decision made earlier this year to pay out the $3.2 million in bonuses for the fiscal ending March 2013. “It’s about the ability of AHS to operate independently from government, and our ability to make operating decisions that we believe are in the best interests of providing quality health care. “For us to govern effectively, there must be sepa-
ration between us and government.� He noted bonus pay is eliminated going forward. Just hours earlier, Horne issued a public statement urging the board reject the bonuses, given that the government is tightening its belt and that doctors and teachers are dealing with wage freezes. “I think Albertans have had a lot to say about this. I know our premier has. I know our cabinet colleagues have,� Horne said outside a cabinet meeting in Lethbridge. “I have taken the step today of issuing a directive to Alberta Health Services requesting that they revisit this decision and advise me of the outcome.� The board’s decision illuminated the long-standing, fuzzy line where the authority of Alberta Health Services, or AHS, ends and the authority of the health minister begins. AHS was created as an arm’s-length agency to deliver day-to-day care in hospitals and clinics to ensure the best decisions are made free of political influence or partisanship. However, the board still must ultimately answer to the health minister; if the board answers to the

COMMENT
Thus, we have the combination of a young population, with many of our citizens earning other-worldly salaries, who have not had to invest in four to six years of university at $40,000 a year. What does that lead to? Higher crime, for one thing. This kind of cash-rich, young, and active environment attracts more than just skilled tradespeople. Comes with the territory. Does that mean we’re not reaching our potential? I don’t think so. As they say, it is what it is. So why bother with the report card? In my opinion, the Urbanics report justifies a great deal of the direction our city council has taken in its longterm planning. Our greatest economic strength — a strong cohort of young, high-income families — also highlights our biggest challenges. Red Deer needs to diversify its economy more, says the report. Where have we heard this before, like, a million times? Easier said than done, in the Alberta experience. If we want to grow that part of the city which has more education and is more entrepreneurial, we have to be the kind of place where those people want to live. That isn’t easy to achieve. Or cheap. The Urbanics report approves of council’s emphasis on renovating the city’s core, of putting more housing
close to downtown. This — so the plan goes — attracts more of a diversity of business to the area. But the infrastructure has to be there. And infrastructure alone will not convince more people that they would rather go to school and do hightech stuff, and do it here, than do it in a large city. As opposed to picking up a trade and buying a house in the suburbs with a garage big enough for a truck and RV — before you’re 30 years old. In making his report to council, Phil Boname, president of Urbanics Consultants, did not answer this disconnect. Not his job, really. Red Deer’s “potential” does indeed include more people with degrees living in it, and better promotion of our central location in the province as a place for diverse businesses to locate and grow. There are no city councillors and no business leaders in Red Deer who are not fully aware of that. Issue all the reports you like, but cultures and economies are very hard forces to turn. Planning, observing and building supportive infrastructure is the best you can do. In the meantime, Red Deer is what it is. On the whole, it’s where I want to be. Who wants to live in a city that’s already achieved it potential? Follow Greg Neiman’s blog at Readersadvocate.blogspot.ca
LETTERS Trustee plagiarism ‘amazing’ Re: June 5 Advocate story “Trustee sorry for Plagiarism” Almost exactly two years ago the dean of the faculty of medicine at the University of Alberta lost his job for exactly the same thing that Ms. Macaulay admits to — that is, plagiarizing a graduation speech. That someone who is a school trustee admits to “not knowing the full extent of what plagiarism is” is absolutely amazing. Michael Thain Red Deer
Thanks for support of Benalto train station Exactly one month ago the Benalto Train Station made its historic return journey to its home of origin. It now rests metres away from its new and final location. There are so very many people and organizations to thank for helping our tiny community begin the process of bringing the station back to its roots. Without the interest and support of all the electronic and print media in our surrounding area we could not have shared this exciting, historic move with the world — and we mean world. Calls have come in from far and wide in support of this project. Without the tremendous outpouring of funding donations, large and small, and offers of help from volunteers, this would have been impossible to achieve. Donations are gratefully welcomed by the Benalto Booster Club, Box 135, Benalto, Alta., TOM OHO. Without the assistance and guidance of the Sylvan Lake RCMP and Red Deer County protective services patrol officers, the station’s journey would have been much more perilous for the Wade’s House Moving crew, the Fortis line lift team, and for all who were caught in the long line of traffic behind the station. To all of you drivers who were slowly following this 28-foot-high, 75-ton building and allowed it to safely arrive, we extend our great thanks for your patience and understanding. Benalto will be celebrating its centennial June 6, 7 and 8, 2014, and we invite one and all to come and share our thanks to you for your support of this special place in the hearts of Central Alberta. Dave More, co-chair, Benalto centennial committee
Working until June 10 to pay for a ‘civilized society’ TOTAL TAX BILL FOR A TYPICAL CANADIAN FAMILY INCLUDES A DIZZYING ARRAY OF TAXES BY CHARLES LAMMAM AND MILAGROS PALACIOS SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE It was Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. who famously said “Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.” Fair enough. But Holmes didn’t put a price tag on the notion of a civilized society. How much are you willing to pay? Or put another way, how long in the year would you be willing to work to pay for all the stuff government does? In 2013, Canadians worked until June 10, which happens to be Tax Freedom Day, to pay all taxes leveled by government. Tax Freedom Day is an easy-to-understand measure of the total tax burden imposed on Canadian families by federal, provincial, and local governments. If you had to pay all your taxes up front, you would give governments each and every dollar you earned be-
CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director
fore Tax Freedom Day. If working until June 10 sounds like a long time, it’s because the taxes we pay extend well beyond the income tax we see deducted off our pay cheques. In fact, the total tax bill for a typical Canadian family includes a dizzying array of taxes, including visible ones like income taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, and property taxes as well as hidden ones like profit taxes, gas taxes, import duties – and the list goes on. In 2013, we estimate that the average Canadian family consisting of two or more people will pay a total tax bill of $42,400 or 43.6 per cent of their annual income, which results in Tax Freedom Day falling on June 10. It’s only from then on that Canadians start working for themselves and their families instead of government. While that may be reason enough to celebrate, keep in mind that Tax Freedom Day arrived two days later than last year. And it’s no wonder why. Governments across the country have recently increased taxes in an effort to make up for years of overspending that resulted in multi-year deficits. This past year alone, British Columbia and New Brunswick increased personal and corporate income taxes (B.C. also raised its health tax), Manitoba

increased its provincial sales tax, Quebec increased its top income tax rate, Prince Edward Island increased its tax on small businesses, and Ottawa increased Employment Insurance premiums. And then there’s Canada’s progressive tax system, which imposes a higher total tax burden on families as their incomes increase. As incomes have recovered from the 2008-09 recession, the average tax burden has grown to a greater extent, causing Tax Freedom Day to come later. As an example of Canada’s progressive system, the top fifth of income earners face an average total tax burden amounting to 52.4 per cent of income while the bottom fifth face an average burden of 17.3 per cent. Indeed, the more you earn, the more of your income goes to paying taxes. But the true tax burden doesn’t end with the revenues that governments collect. The reality is, governments often spend more than their revenues allow and then borrow the difference. In other words, they incur deficits. This year, the federal and six provincial governments are planning to incur deficits totalling $34 billion. (Ottawa expects a deficit of $18.7 billion while the provinces cumulatively ex-

pect deficits of $15.3 billion.) According to our calculations, Tax Freedom Day would come nine days later this year, on June 19, if Canadian governments covered their current spending with even greater tax increases instead of borrowing the shortfall. The trend of governments relying on borrowed money began years ago. From 2007/08 to 2012/13, Canadian governments ramped up total government debt by $372.2 billion. Since this additional debt must one day be paid for by taxes, Tax Freedom Day may actually come later in the future. By kicking today’s debt down the road, governments are effectively passing on the burden of repayment to young Canadian families. But back to Holmes and the price tag of a “civilized society.” Is working until June 10 acceptable for what we get from government? While it’s ultimately up to individual Canadians to decide, therein lies the value of Tax Freedom Day; it at least gives them the information they need to make that assessment.

Report sheds light on jailhouse brutality BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Some jail guards are brutalizing inmates and covering up the abuse by destroying or falsifying records and intimidating colleagues, Ontario’s ombudsman warned Tuesday. In a report on jailhouse brutality, Andre Marin called for immediate action to root out the problem and excise the “cancer” of the code of silence around guard violence. “Punching, slapping, kicking, stomping on someone who is under control, under restraints, is inexcusable and morally repugnant,” Marin said. “Regardless of why they are incarcerated, inmates are human beings and they deserve respect, dignity and humane treatment.” Marin’s 135-page report is the product of thousands of complaints a year that were paralyzing his office. Filled with disturbing pictures and stories, it outlines a grim reality in Ontario’s 29 correctional facilities in which, Marin said, guards can assault inmates, often with complete impunity because their fellow officers don’t speak up. “This report is not pretty. It reveals some shocking stories — not just of violence within the provincial
correctional system but of ugly conspiracies to cover up that violence,” he said. “It exposes corruption and a malignancy within the correctional system that has long been lamented but never eradicated: the code of silence.” Marin cited the example of “Colin,” an inmate with a brain injury who was acting aggressively toward guards at a facility in Ottawa. Six officers restrained him with handcuffs and leg restraints, then beat him to a pulp, leaving his head swollen, his face and body battered. Guards initially claimed the prisoner hit his head on the floor. Marin was careful to blame a “rogue minority” of correctional officers who bully inmates and colleagues, but he said the aberrant behaviour has been allowed to metastasize throughout the prison system. Part of the problem, the report finds, is overcrowding and understaffing in the province’s jails that exacerbate tensions. The government, Marin said, had let the “system run amok.” The report makes 45 recommendations to the provincial government to end the “dysfunctional culture,” among them better training, especially in dealing with prisoners with mental-health issues or other special needs. Also needed is wider use of video surveillance, so guards know they are being watched and more rigor-

ous investigations of complaints, the report said. The government, Marin said, must focus on “malignant” peer pressure among some correctional officers. The ombudsman, who spent years overseeing the military and police, said the extent of the code of silence among prison guards is unprecedented in his experience. “I’ve never seen it so entrenched, so pervasive.” Statements from guards, he said, are vetted by their union and read like a template. Another recommendation calls for staff involved in an incident to be separated before they prepare their reports and barred from communicating with one another until after the investigation is completed. Two summers ago, the Ministry of Correctional Services began a review of more than 3,500 files involving alleged excessive use of force and investigated 55 cases. The probe confirmed brutality in 26 of those cases. The result was discipline against 108 staff, including 31 firings. In addition, four officers face criminal charges, and one has been convicted. Correctional Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur said the government has already begun taking action and six internal investigations into complaints are ongoing.
WHALE RESCUE
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Pauline Marois came out kicking in defence of the Quebec Soccer Federation’s refusal to let turban-wearing kids play the sport, a position that has lobbed the controversial debate into the province’s political arena. The Canadian Soccer Association suspended the provincial association on Monday after the Quebec body showed no sign of overturning its decision to uphold a ban on Sikh religious headwear on the pitch. It says the suspension will remain in place until the Quebec organization lifts its restriction on turbans, patkas and keskis. The Quebec premier took issue Tuesday with MARKETWIRE PHOTO/Parks Canada the CSA move and said it’s “unacceptable” that the national organization would suspend her province’s Parks Canada, in collaboration with Parcs Quebec, the Group for Research and Education on soccer federation.

Lululemon dealt setback The fallout from the latest wardrobe malfunction at Lululemon Athletica Inc. (TSX:LLL) continued Tuesday as the stock plunged following news that the woman who helped build the company’s reputation plans her departure. Chief executive Christine Day’s announcement late Monday came as a surprise to most and overshadowed betterthan-expected earnings at the athletic clothing retailer. Lululemon has soared to a level of unprecedented success in recent years by exploiting a retail category that was practically untapped when it first hit the scene. Day, who will remain as CEO while the board searches for a replacement, provided little explanation for her departure.
Petronas plans 16B stake in LNG facility Malaysian national oil company Petronas says it expects to spend up to $16 billion to build a liquefied natural gas export facility and related infrastructure in Western Canada. Arif Mahmood, Petronas vice-president of corporate planning, says the company will invest between $9 billion and $11 billion to construct two LNG liquefaction plants near British Colombia’s west coast. Another $5 billion will be invested in a 750 kilometre-long pipeline, to be built by TransCanada Corp., to supply gas to the two plants, he said Tuesday in an email to The Associated Press. The Pacific Northwest LNG project, located on Lelu Island in the Port Edward district, will liquefy and export natural gas produced in northeastern British Columbia by Progress Energy Canada. Petronas bought Calgary-based Progress last year in a $6-billion friendly deal. The two companies had been previously working together on the same projects. — The Canadian Press and The Associated Press

The Red Deer restaurant will be the first in Alberta for Vancouver-based Browns Restaurant Group, which opened the first Browns Socialhouse in North Vancouver in 2004 and now has 13 in British Columbia and three in Saskatchewan. An official with Browns Restaurant Group said recently that the restaurant would open by late July or early August. He added that other Browns Socialhouses are planned for Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Okotoks and Grande Prairie. Clearview Market Square is located southwest of the junction of 30th Avenue and 67th Street, and is already home to The Canadian Brewhouse and a number of other stores and businesses.
Airport has one of busiest years Last year was one of the busiest on record for the Red Deer Airport, according to figures compiled by Statistics Canada. The regional airport at Springbrook recorded 50,872 aircraft movements, up 15 per cent from the 44,276 movements the year prior to that. It marked the third consecutive annual increase for the airport, which had posted 49,953 takeoffs and landings in 2008, prior to the economic downturn. Red Deer Airport’s strong numbers in 2012 were second only to North Bay, Ont.’s 51,153 movements, among the 51 regional airports (flight service centres with-
out Nav Canada control towers) in Canada. Ottawa/Gatineau was third with 48,323, followed by Grande Prairie (41,916), Kamloops, B.C. (37,863), St. Catharines, Ont. (35,123), SeptÎles, Que. (33,149), Thompson, Man. (32,269) and Montreal/Mirabel (32,269). Red Deer Airport’s aircraft movements included 23,330 itinerant flights to and from other airports, which was the ninth most among the 51 flight service centres. There were also 27,542 local flights that remained in the vicinity of the airport, the third highest. In terms of the types of flights
to and from the airport last year, 50,545 were of the civil variety and 327 were military-related, according to Statistics Canada. The former figure included 15,252 commercial flights and 7,823 private or government-related flights to or from other airports, as well as 24,470 that were strictly local. Of the flights in and out of Red Deer Airport, 16,649 involved planes powered by piston engines, 741 were by planes with turboprops and 741 involved jets. There were also 1,580 helicopter and 11 glider flights.
Tourism group promoting area attractions Tourism Red Deer is encouraging those who deal with city visitors to become Red Deer Experience Experts. The not-for-profit society, which promotes local tourism, is organizing a June 21 workshop where participants will learn some important things about Red Deer and the surrounding area. These will include notable landmarks, services and attractions. There is no cost to attend the morning workshop, which is being sponsored by the Red Deer Hotel Association and Travel Alberta, among others. It’s designed for the front-line staff of businesses and other organizations and who interact with the visiting public. “Whether a native Red Deerian or new to the
TOURISM RED DEER area, there are a number of attractions, facilities and experiences our city has to offer,” said a release issued by Tourism Red Deer. “They may have become part of our everyday life and can blend into our everyday backdrop, but to visitors exploring our beautiful city, a little expertise in sharing our Red Deer must-do and must-see attractions could single-handedly make their trip that much more memorable.”

The latest Manpower Employment Outlook survey found that Canadian hiring prospects for the third quarter are slightly less positive than a year ago. The survey was based on interviews with more than 1,900 employers in Canada. It found that 21 per cent of respondents expected to add employees in the July-September quarter, down two percentage points from the survey covering the third quarter of 2012. In both years, most employers expected no change. In the case of Red Deer-area employers, 29 per cent of survey respondents said they plan to hire for the July-to-September quarter, while seven per cent anticipated cutbacks. Fifty-seven per cent planned to maintain their current staffing levels and seven per cent were unsure of their hiring intentions. Manpower’s seasonally adjusted measure for Canada declined to nine per cent — a drop of three percentage points from a year ago and from the previous quarter. For Red Deer, the seasonally adjusted figure was 19 per cent, a drop of 10 percentage points from the outlook reported for the same period last year and four percentage points from the previous quarterly outlook. Nationally, the transportation and public utilities sector showed the most positive hiring outlook and manufacturers showed the least positive hiring intentions. The seasonally adjusted rating for 10 sectors were: construction, 15 per cent; education, 9; finance, insurance and real estate, 7; manufacturing (durables), 5; manufacturing (nondurables), 5; mining, 12; public administration, 13; services, 11; transportation and public utilities, 23; wholesale and retail trade, 8.

‘Soft skills’ integral to business success
JOHN MACKENZIE
ACTION COACH
For many people, and especially business owners, topics that deal with the “soft” skills are considered less important than the issues of cash flows, finances and productivity. The fact is that business success is more predictable when built on a solid foundation of personal awareness plus business knowledge. The soft skills — areas of communication, interaction and ethics
— have become integral to business success. In my most recent column at the end of May, I introduced Pat Pearson, a professional psychologist and business leadership trainer. Pearson proposes that what we create in our lives is determined largely by what we think we “deserve.” This psychology is on our personal values and beliefs. It’s challenging to sit across
from a frustrated owner/manager and get them to consider that their lack of soft skills is primarily behind some of the issues they are facing in their company. In my line of business, I have mentored focused, purpose-driven individuals; all passionate and creative thinkers. Their “victor” mentality has been acquired from their successes and failures.

Canada to raise takeover threshold TO SMOOTH WAY FOR MORE TAKEOVERS OF CANADIAN COMPANIES BY EUROPEAN FIRMS, RAISING LIMIT TO $1.5 BILLION
OTTAWA — The Harper government has agreed to smooth the way for more takeovers of Canadian companies by European firms in one of several concessions during free-trade talks, sources tell The Canadian Press. Canada has also agree to open up parts of its hydroelectric sector to a limited amount of foreign investment, say sources in Canada with intimate knowledge of the talks. With Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Europe over the next week hoping to hammer out the remaining barriers to the ambitious deal, sources say Canadian negotiators have agreed to a provision to raise the threshold for reviewing foreign acquisitions from Europe to $1.5 billion. All acquisitions under that value would not be subject to a government assessment about whether they create a net benefit for Canada. Just this Monday, the House of Commons passed the budget implementation bill raising the threshold from the current $334 million to $1 billion over the next four years. The new threshold would only apply to private, not state owned firms. While the concession will be seen as controversial with some in Canada, especially after issues arose over recent
foreign acquisitions in the resources sector, Europe is treating the issue as a major climb-down from its starting position of no restrictions. In return, Europe has apparently gained ground on investor protection dispute settlement rules, meaning the deal calls for few restrictions on the ability of European firms to sue Canadian governments for policies judged unfair to investors. As well, the current state of the talks has Canada giving Europeans more market access in protected sectors such as telecommunications, which has restrictions on foreign ownership, as well as uranium mining, postal services and insurance. Overall, the two sides say they will completely eliminate all industrial tariffs within seven years, a measure that will save Canadian exporters $213 million annually — and European exporters $635 million — at current exchange rates. Canada has also significantly moved to appease European demands for opening up provincial energy utilities, again affecting mostly those in Ontario and Quebec, in procurement of goods and services. Documents obtained by a Quebec civil society network, the Reseau quebecois sur l’integration continentale, suggest that 35 per cent of Hydro
Quebec’s annual procurement — currently about $1.1 billion — will be up for grabs to European suppliers. “We are pretty concerned that the Quebec government is abandoning its tools to support Quebec firms and industrial development in the province,” said Pierre-Yves Serinet, the co-ordinator of the network, which is planning to issue a statement on the issue Wednesday. Last week, a spokesman for the prime minister poured cold water over speculation that the two sides could sign off on a deal before or during the G8 meetings in Ireland that end Tuesday. However, Canada’s negotiating team has been kept in Brussels just in case and is expected to continue talking at least throughout the week. Some analysts believe a deal must come quickly or Canada will risk being shunted aside as the European Union launches discussions with the United States. As well, an agreement would constitute a political win for the Harper government, especially at this time when it is under attack over the Senate expenses scandal. “I don’t think it’s going to be signed during the G8,” said Lawrence Herman, a trade lawyer with Cassels Brock who has closely followed the talks. “But I think it has to be con-

MINDSETS: Opposite examples
iours takes us out of our comfort zone. It’s very difficult to change our mindset and takes a certain level of self-discipline to examine new ways of tacking old issues. Consultant Rory Vaden stresses that most people are not naturally self-disciplined, nor do they necessarily enjoy it. “ Self-discipline takes practice; you have to build your appetite.” “Think it, speak it, act on it.” Thoughts and ideas spoken out loud can be very powerful. Once you’ve shared information with a partner or trusted adviser, it is more likely that you will follow through. Vaden states that discipline actually creates more freedom. The more you’re invested in something, the less likely you’ll fail. Soft skills are undervalued in some business environments, but are usually the cause of many dysfunctional workplaces. They have a direct impact on work satisfaction, and influence career advancement. Take time to examine your values. What do you believe to be true and what did you inherit from someone else? Are there areas that are standing in your way? Is it time to rewrite/update your values and beliefs? Then begin to practise discipline. The more you tackle the difficult issues, the simpler and less stressful life becomes. The rewards are that easy short-term action leads to long-term results. Three fundamental principles predict success:
They took ownership when faced with challenges, were accountable for their actions and responsible for the results. I’ve also coached individuals with the exact opposite attitude: the “victim” mentality. They tended to blame everything and everyone for their issues. They made excuses for not following through and often denied that viable options could alter the outcomes. It’s easy to identify what these two opposite mindsets think they deserve, which consequently influences the choices they made. The victor has a strong sense of personal empowerment; the victim does not. None of us would admit to having a victim mentality. But take a look at the following examples where we self-sabotage, effectively impacting the outcomes. We perform at a comfort level because of wellingrained habits, primarily functioning at an unconscious level. Tradition, the “We’ve always done it that way,” mindset, can be a major barrier in both our personal and business lives. We procrastinate at one time or another. We consciously delay what needs to done because it seems difficult, or we simply don’t feel like doing it. Downplaying or delaying attention often compounds the issue. We become easily distracted when we unconsciously avoid problems. 6.4L Hemi, 425HP!!!!, Leather, 6.4L Hemi 425HP!!!

STRASBOURG, France — A cloud is hanging over the upcoming free-trade talks between the European Union and the United States after France said it won’t back any deal that threatens the country’s prestigious film, radio or TV industries. The stakes are high because any deal could have major implications for global trade and could serve as a model for future deals. Together, the U.S. and the EU make up nearly half the world economy and 30 per cent of global trade. The audiovisual sectors have traditionally been excluded from global free-trade agreements under what is known as the “cultural exception,” which allows governments to subsidize and protect them. In general,
free-trade agreements are supposed to limit or ban such support. “France is asking for an exclusion from the negotiation of what it considers of course to be cultural products but which are also a mark of European identity,” French Trade Minister Nicole Bricq said in an interview with The Associated Press. Bricq said the latest draft of the negotiating mandate, to be presented to EU ministers Friday, still has audiovisual services on the table — and that’s not acceptable to France. European officials have said the “cultural exception” would be preserved. But many are concerned that once audiovisual services are on the table, their protections could be eroded in the back-and-forth tussle of tough negotiations.

These include the failure of Japan’s central bank to unveil more measures to boost that country’s economy, whether the U.S. Federal Reserve will start to taper off its bond purchases and a court challenge on the legality of the European Central Bank’s approach to the euro crisis. The S&P/TSX composite index dropped 159.1 points to 12,223.57, led by declines in the mining and energy sectors. On the corporate front, Lululemon Athletica Inc. (TSX:LLL) (NADAQ:LULU) plunged 17.62 per cent to $69.22 on the Toronto market a day after CEO Christine Day said that she was stepping down. Meanwhile, BMO analysts cut their price target on Lululemon to US$65 from $75. Analyst John Morris observed that “the board also continues its search for senior supply chain and (executive vice-president) product heads (and) we expect it to take some time to fill the all-important roles with the right people.” Royal Bank of Canada analysts also cut their price targets on the shares, by 15 per cent to $70. The Canadian dollar inched up 0.01 of a cent to 98.15 cents US. U.S. indexes were also negative with the Dow Jones industrials down 116.57 points to 15,122.02, the Nasdaq falling 36.82 points to 3,436.95 and the S&P 500 index giving back 16.68 points to 1,626.13. The Bank of Japan started a big monetary stimulus earlier this year in an attempt to get that country’s economy out of two decades of stagnation. There had been expectations it would announce new measures Tuesday to temper the rise in government bond yields by extending the duration on its ultra-low-interest rates to banks. Instead, the bank’s policy board merely upgraded its economic assessment and the Japanese yen strengthened at least one per cent against all its 16 major peers. Investors have also been closely monitoring developments in the U.S. and looking for signs of whether the economic picture has improved enough for the Federal Reserve to reduce the amount of financial assets it buys in the markets — so-called tapering. The quantitative easing program, involving the purchase of US$85 billion of bonds each month, has kept interest rates low and also helped fuel a strong rally on U.S. stock markets. Commodity prices backed off sharply Tuesday and the gold sector was the biggest drag, down almost four per cent as August bullion dropped $9 to US$1,377 an ounce, adding further losses to a component already down 35 per cent so far this year. Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX) faded 82 cents to C$19.99. Shares of Kinross Gold Corp. (TSX:K) fell 41 cents to $6.03 after the company announced it was halting development of its Fruta del Norte project in Ecuador after it was unable to reach an agreement with the government of Ecuador on “key economic and legal terms.” The base metals component was 2.6 per cent lower while July copper retreated for a fourth day, down five cents to US$3.19 a pound. First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) fell 65 cents to C$17.37 while Turquoise Hill Resources (TSX:TRQ) dropped 29 cents to $6.31. The energy sector fell 1.5 per cent with July crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange down 39 cents to US$95.38 a barrel. Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE) shed 48 cents to C$30.03 and Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) was 73 cents lower to $31.07. Outside of the resource sector, financials also weighed on the TSX as Sun Life Financial (TSX:SLF) was 47 cents lower at $29.84. Tech stocks were also negative as BlackBerry (TSX:BB) dropped 31 cents to $13.93. Traders also looked to the start of a two-day hearing by Germany’s constitutional court on the legality of a key European Central Bank program that has been credited with calming the 3 1/2 year-old euro debt crisis. The Federal Constitutional Court is considering arguments against the ECB’s offer to buy government bonds and lower borrowing costs for indebted countries. In other corporate developments, Telus Corp. (TSX:T) shares fell 45 cents to $34.26 as the telecom called off its plan to buy small wireless provider Mobilicity after Ottawa signalled last week that it would not allow the deal. Mobilicity will now go ahead with a recapitalization plan. The deal was contingent upon the federal government allowing the transfer of wireless spectrum owned by Mobilicity

World Bank aims to get private sector to help end extreme poverty for millions THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The World Bank is undertaking an ambitious goal to end extreme global poverty within a generation by encouraging the involvement of the private sector. “We need you to help bend the arc of history and banish extreme poverty from this Earth forever,” bank president Jim Yong Kim said Tuesday in a speech to the Conference of Montreal. Currently, the $125 billion a year in official development assistance “pales in comparison to the need,” Kim said. India alone has 400 million people in extreme poverty and an infrastructure deficit of $1 trillion over the next five years that would eat up all the official aid. Funding needs total $4.5 trillion if you add the other developing countries, Kim said. He said African heads of state recently signalled that more than energy and infrastructure, they need private sector investment to help create jobs. Consequently, the World Bank is aiming to end extreme poverty by 2030 by encouraging private sector investors to step up to the plate. “While official development assistance might be limited there is so much (private) capital sitting on the sidelines right now,” he told the economic conference. Kim described investing in the developing world as a smart thing to do economically and something the can also bring benefits to the world’s poorest — benefits he admits underestimating in the past. Kim said the World Bank plans to track the income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the world’s countries and report annually on their progress. The agency is targeting the 1.2 billion people who live on less than $1.25 per day. That’s down from 1.9 billion people in 1990. By lifting their income, people are more likely to gain access to

education, health-care and the like. “By tracking those numbers we’re going to be able to provide a mirror for every country in the world in terms of how they’re doing by their poorest,” Kim told a news conference. Kim said he received “very strong encouragement” for the World Bank’s new strategy in meetings Monday in Ottawa with Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and International Co-Operation Minister Julian Fantino. The Conservative government announced Tuesday that it was providing $66 million to help developing countries attract private sector investments. Included is $20 million over five years to the World Bank’s conflict-affected and fragile economies facility. It is also creating a web page to provide the private sector with a better opportunity to discover how it can play a larger role. “Government assistance alone is not enough to end a cycle of poverty,” Fantino
told the conference. “Going forward, private sector growth in developing countries will be key to achieving our goals.” Kim conceded that the current world economic climate is making it harder for donor countries, but said an investment in the bank’s IDA concessional loan program “is one of the best bargains in the world.” Overall, world poverty has been cut in half over the last two decades to 20 per cent of the population, with much of the gain coming from China’s booming economy. A World Bank study found that 70 per cent of poverty reduction comes from growth and 30 per cent from government redistribution of wealth. “We at the World Bank think you’ve got to do both at the same time,” Kim said. He called on Canadian companies in the mineral extraction sector to increase their already large investments overseas. “These resources can have a transformative
impact to boost economic growth and alleviate poverty.” But he said developing countries need to avoid the so-called natural resource curse where they don’t gain suitable returns from foreign investors. As it seeks to increase funding, the World Bank is also tackling corruption and is prepared to cut projects or companies involved in wrongdoing, Kim said. He pointed to the 10-year ban imposed on SNC-Lavalin affiliates from bidding on World Bank projects as a “perfect example” of how it deals with corruption. Kim wouldn’t say the entire Montreal-based engineering company is corrupt but said there were things that happened concerning a Bangladesh bridge project in which SNC was involved that “caused us great concern.” “I don’t think a single case determines the behaviour of an entire company but we’ve got to be tough when we find those cases where it’s actually happening,” he said.

Spurs 113 Heat 77 SAN ANTONIO — From big 3s to Big Three, the Spurs had it all in the NBA Finals’ raucous return to San Antonio. Danny Green made seven of the Spurs’ finals-record 16 3-pointers, Tim Duncan had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs clobbered the Miami Heat 113-77 on Tuesday night to take 2-1 lead in the series. Green scored 27 points and Gary Neal made six 3-pointers while scoring 24 as San Antonio went 16 of 32 from behind the arc, rolling to the thirdbiggest victory in finals history. Duncan bounced back from his worst game ever in the finals, and the Spurs’ combination of fresh faces and old reliables dominated the NBA’s winningest team before an eager crowd that hadn’t seen the finals here since 2007. “It shouldn’t be a surprise,” said Spurs coach Gregg Popvich. “These are the last two teams standing. I don’t think either one of them is going to get down if they have a bad night.” The Spurs were as good as fans remem-

Maclise, as team captain, recently led the Alberta Junior Hockey League champion Brooks Bandits to the Royal Bank Cup championship — the Canadian junior A crown — while scoring six goals and recording three assists in six games and was named the 2013 Canadian junior A player of the year. Maclise, the Bandits’ all-time franchise leader in assists (131) and points (216), was named the most valuable player in the AJHL last season and then took similar honours in the Royal Bank Cup tournament. “Cam is as good as it gets at this level. He has been such a pleasure to coach on the ice and has grown to become a very mature leader,” said Bandits GM/head coach Ryan Papaioannou in a press release. “His natural abilities are something you don’t see every day and we are fortunate that he chose our program for his development. “Cam had always said that he wanted to play for a top CIS program and being given an opportunity to play at UNB fulfills that goal. Cam has made a significant impact on our organization and we will miss his presence around the room and especially on the ice as we move forward. His future is bright and he will be a great player and person at UNB.”

bered in the old days, shutting down LeBron James until they had built a huge lead late in the third quarter. James finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, but missed 11 of his first 13 shots against the excellent defence of Kawhi Leonard, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds. Game 4 is Thursday here, where the Heat are 3-22 in the regular season and so far zero wins and one really bad beating in the post-season. “We got what we deserved,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I didn’t even recognize the team that was out there tonight.” Duncan shot 3 of 13 for nine points, his worst performance ever in his 25 NBA Finals games, in the Heat’s 103-84 victory Sunday. Tony Parker wasn’t much better, shooting 5 of 14 and committing five turnovers, and Manu Ginobili admitted afterward the veteran trio had to play well for the Spurs to win. They were fine, but the lesser-knowns were better. Parker and Ginobili combined for 14 assists, but the bigger story was the guys who had never played on this stage before.
— Neal, who went undrafted after playing for LaSalle and Towson, then playing overseas for three seasons in Italy, Spain and Turkey. —Green, who had been cut multiple times — including by James’ Cavaliers — and now has the shot to stick. —Leonard, the draftnight trade acquisition from San Diego State who played the NBA’s four-time MVP to a stalemate. Mike Miller made all five 3-pointers and scored 15 points for the Heat, who broke open Sunday’s game and seized momentum in the series with a 33-5 run in the second half. The Spurs seized it right back, improving to 18-7 in the finals, the best winning percentage of any team with 20 or more games. A brief flurry by James had Miami within 15 after three quarters, but Neal, Green and Leonard combined on a 13-0 run to open the fourth, Green’s 3-pointer making it 91-63. “All of my teammates and Pop. They do a great job of encouraging me. They continue to tell me to shoot the ball. They continue to tell me whenever I’m open, to let it fly,” Green said.
Bautista sparks Jays to comeback win BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 7 White Sox 5 CHICAGO — Jose Bautista hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning and Rajai Davis scored on a wild pitch in the 10th to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-5 win over the Chicago White Sox at a dimmed U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday night. Chien-Ming Wang made his first start of the season after signing with the injury-riddled Blue Jays before the game, lasting 7 1-3 innings while giving up five runs and 10 hits. During the 10th, a handful of bulbs in the light standards above the infield at U.S. Cellular Field went out as Ramon Troncoso (0-1) prepared to throw his 2-1 pitch to Adam Lind with the game tied at 5. The umpires conferred with Toronto manager John Gibbons and Chicago’s Robin Ventura for a minute or two before continuing play and Davis scored on Troncoso’s wild pitch. Toronto took a 7-5 lead when Maicer Izturis came home on Munenori Kawasaki’s double after Tyler Flowers dropped Alexei Ramirez’s relay throw. Brett Cecil (2-0) went 1 2-3 innings for the win and Casey Janssen pitched a scoreless 10th for his 13th save in 14 tries, getting Adam Dunn to ground out with runners on first and second to end the game as the lights returned to full strength. With two outs, Bautista tied the game at 5-all with a home run off Addison Reed to the corner in left field. Bautista hit a 1-2 pitch for his 15th home run of the season, handing Reed

Chicago White Sox’s Gordon Beckham right, is tagged out at third base by Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Mark DeRosa left, after Tyler Flowers singled during the fourth inning of an MLB game in Chicago, Tuesday. his second blown save in 21 attempts. Dunn hit a solo home run in the second and Conor Gillaspie hit a three-run home run in the fourth for the White Sox, who had won three straight. Dunn went 1 for 4 after going 4 for 4 with two home runs Monday and is 8 for 15 with four home runs over his last four games. Jose Quintana pitched 6 1-3 innings, giving up four runs (two earned) and six hits while striking out five. He hasn’t won since May 21. The White Sox made two errors while he was pitching and added Flowers’ error in the 10th, giving them 42 this season after having 70 last year. Before Tuesday, Wang hadn’t pitched in any game since June
1, when he threw seven shutout innings against Durham. His previous major league start was Sept. 23 against the Brewers, and his last win was June 12 of last year against the Blue Jays, when he was with the Washington Nationals. To make room for Wang, the Blue Jays designated IF Andy LaRoche for assignment. LaRoche was 1 for 4 in one game with the Blue Jays. Toronto gave Wang a 2-0 lead in the second thanks to White Sox miscues. Mark DeRosa reached on Ramirez’s error, advanced to third on Lind’s ground-rule double, and scored on Flowers’ passed ball. Izturis’ single then brought in Lind.
The White Sox have given up 23 unearned runs after allowing 30 last year. Dunn cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second on his 17th home run of the season. Chicago scored four times in the fourth to take a 5-2 lead, capped by Gillaspie’s three-run home run, his fourth of the season and first since May 1 at Texas. The White Sox tied the game at 2 on Dayan Viciedo’s two-out single, driving in Alex Rios. In the fifth, Encarnacion trimmed the White Sox lead to 5-4 on his 18th home run of the season, a two-run shot. Quintana hung a 1-0 breaking ball, and Encarnacion hit a 407-foot home run deep into the left field seats, giving him 53 RBIs.
Hawks and Bruins drawing off previous experiences STANLEY CUP FINALS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CHICAGO — Jonathan Toews secondguessed everything after he and the Chicago Blackhawks bowed out of the Stanley Cup playoffs in the first round each of the past two years. Winning it all in 2010 was little consolation. “You start asking yourself so many questions of why you’re not having the same success,” Toews said. “It’s easy to ask yourself a lot of questions and spin your wheels a little bit.” Shawn Thornton couldn’t bring himself to watch a single playoff game a year ago after he and the Boston Bruins were eliminated by the Washington Capitals in the first round. “It’s too painful,” he said. “I remember the feeling of getting knocked out.” Painful as those playoff exits were, the Blackhawks and Bruins are back in the Stanley Cup final in large part because of those stumbles. These are veteran teams armed with a wealth of experience that they used to come back from the brink of
elimination to move within four victories of another title. “I think you realize that anything can kind of happen,” Bruins centre Chris Kelly said. “I think this group has experienced a lot in such a short time. I think just playing how many Game 7s we’ve played and we’ve been fortunate enough to sweep a few teams and just knowing that it doesn’t matter what happened in the game before, it’s the next game regardless of if it’s a win or a loss.” In the course of a game, players don’t think too much about the past. Leading scorer David Krejci knew the Bruins had 17 players back from the 2011 Cup team, but that wasn’t on his mind when they fell behind 4-1 the Toronto Maple Leafs with 11 minutes left in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarter-finals. But in the locker-room, players are able to recall how they handled similar instances. “You have that to rely on,” Thornton said. “You know that it can go either way, so it keeps your faith a little bit more in some situations, maybe. We’ve been on both sides of that coin: Losing being up 3-0 and winning coming back.” Once his team made history by battling back against Toronto, coach Claude Julien
saw the comeback play a major role in the Bruins’ run as they cruised past the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. Even with a different goaltender in Tuukka Rask and a Los Angeles Kings championship occurring since their own triumph, the Bruins exude the confidence of defending champions. “We’ve been through it,” Julien said. “You’ve got to hope that it’s going to help as far as the focus, knowing what it takes, maybe not being as nervous.” Even as captain Zdeno Chara recommended approaching this final like the first one, defenceman Andrew Ference said there was more calm this time around. There aren’t the jitters that accompanied the Bruins in 2011 in Vancouver. That has a lot to do with winning experience. “We’ve had the same guys for a few years now, and minus a couple guys we’ve all pretty much won together,” Bruins forward Tyler Seguin said. “We know we’re a good team when we’re pretty much at an evenkeel. Whether it’s a win or loss we’re staying with the same attitude.” The Blackhawks didn’t find themselves in as precarious position as Boston, though they were still on the ropes as they trailed the Detroit Red Wings three games to one.

BRIEFS AAA peewee Braves go 3-2 in weekend play The Red Deer Dairy Queen Braves managed a 3-2 record in a busy weekend of peewee AAA baseball action. The Braves split a doubleheader with the Calgary Cubs — losing 15-4 and winning 15-10 — Saturday, then downed the Cubs 10-6 Sunday before falling 6-5 to the Spruce Grove Sox and downing the Sox 14-10. The Dairy Queen squad trailed the Cubs 5-4 going into the fifth inning of the first game of the doubleheader, but the Calgary team exploded for 10 runs in their half of the frame. The Braves were more focused in the nightcap and collected 17 hits while scoring in each inning. Hunter Leslie went seven-for-12 at the plate in the three games versus the Cubs, while Riley Seward and Cooper Jones, who stole home twice in the series, were the Braves’ winning pitchers. Ben LeBlanc suffered the loss against Spruce Grove despite a strong four and one-third innings on the mound. Brett Porter didn’t surrender a run and fanned three batters during his two and two-thirds innings of relief, while Leslie was two-for-two at the plate and MacGregor Manyluk and Rylan Eberle each had two hits. The Braves closed out the weekend on a positive note despite giving up seven runs to the Sox in the first inning. The game ended in the bottom of the seventh when the Braves turned a 6-43 triple play. Zach Baker worked five complete innings to record the pitching decision. LeBlanc cranked a home run in the sixth and Jones cracked a pair of run-scoring doubles.

Riggers use all elements in rout of Sox BY ADVOCATE STAFF Riggers 8 White Sox 0 The Red Deer Riggers had all elements of their game in motion Tuesday at Great Chief Park en route to an 8-0 Sunburst Baseball League rout of the Parkland White Sox. “We had the bats going, had a bit of a running game and our pitching was very good,” said Riggers playing manager Curtis Bailey. The Riggers collected 12 hits off White Sox hurlers Myles Ethier and Adam Baron and got a dominant performance from starting pitcher Brant Stickel, who held the visitors to three hits over six innings while walking four batters and fanning nine. Stickel threw 113 pitches before passing the ball to Davin Gulbransen, who faced just four batters in the top of the seventh frame, striking out two. The game was called at that point due to the eight-run mercy rule. “Brant hasn’t thrown a lot this year, but for not throwing for a couple of weeks he did well,” said Bailey. “I think he was getting squeezed in the zone, around the plate, but he threw a lot of pitches and he was effective.”
The Riggers scored a run in the first inning, then put up two more in the third and one in the fifth before erupting for four runs in the sixth to essentially seal the deal. Shayne Court was the leader at the plate, driving in four runs on two hits, while Jason Chatwood knocked in two runs with a double and home run and Mark Fay and Matt Fay were each twofor-three. “Guys were hitting the ball hard. We had some good at-bats,” said Bailey. The Riggers, who return to action tonight at Fort Saskatchewan against the A’s, improved to 5-2 with Tuesday’s win. Red Deer was coming off a 15-12 loss to the A’s Sunday at Great Chief Park. “We have the talent this year, we’re just putting it all together,” said Bailey. “We’re starting to come together as a group, which is important especially as you get into a little busier part of the season with tournaments coming up. “Overall, we’re coming along well.” The Riggers’ next home game is next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. against the St. Albert Tigers gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Award wins special NHL’s new breed of coaches grows with Oilers’ hiring of Eakins for Thurber athletes BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Dallas Eakins says it in a commanding but calm tone. “We don’t coach teams, we coach individuals.” They are words to live by for Eakins and the philosophy has earned him his first NHL head-coaching job with the Edmonton Oilers. Eakins isn’t alone in the individual approach. The 46-year-old, who got to this level thanks to his success with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Marlies, is part of a new breed of coaches who believe communication with players is key to getting the most out of them. Call them players’ coaches — like Dan Bylsma in Pittsburgh or Adam Oates in Washington. Along with Eakins and many others, they’re setting a new trend, taking a different approach than coaches did even 10 years ago. “I think a lot of times it has to do with almost job survival,” Montreal Canadiens forward Jeff Halpern said. “Most coaches aren’t going to change their personalities for anything. But at the same time, you have such different types of athletes now and because the money is so great for young kids growing up, a lot of times you have to find ways to communicate with people.” That’s not to say gruff coaches like Mike Keenan, John Tortorella, Lindy Ruff and Peter Laviolette can’t communicate. Ruff spent 15 seasons in charge of the Buffalo Sabres and is considered a favourite to land another job soon. But coaches need to evolve along with the players, says Islanders forward Brad Boyes. “I think players are different the way you come up now,” he said. “It used to be to yell and scream would get the best out of guys, that’s the way it was because that’s the way they had always been. Nowadays there’s so much more involved. Agents are involved at young ages, parents are very involved at young ages. I think the kids are just brought up differently. You try to talk to them through adversity (rather) than trying to yell and scream to get the best out of them.” It’s a trend that began before most of these coaches even considered their next steps after playing. During his 19-year career that spanned from the 1980s into the 2000s, Oates didn’t like being yelled at. As he and others from the same generation step into coaching, those experiences have shaped their styles. “There’s no perfect animal. I just really feel that if
I’m not happy with a guy, I don’t have to yell at him to let him know,” Oates said during the regular season. “I can talk to him. He’s still a pro. You’ve got to be a pro. That’s what we are. We’re pros now, and it’s a different game than before.” Oates’ contemporaries include Kirk Muller of the Carolina Hurricanes, Kevin Dineen of the Florida Panthers, Peter DeBoer of the New Jersey Devils and Dave Tippett of the Phoenix Coyotes. And Eakins, who learned from the late Roger Neilson that he would have to make his mark as a coach because he “wasn’t a very good player.” Whether or not a coach was a good player doesn’t necessarily matter, though it doesn’t hurt. Islanders forward Keith Aucoin played with the Marlies during the NHL lockout and cited Eakins’ playing career as one reason he’s able to get messages across so effectively. “He knows when to get in somebody’s face and he knows when a team’s going through a tough stretch or a few tough games that it happens,” Aucoin said. “He was so knowledgeable of how hard the game is and he knows what to do.” Aucoin said Eakins never yelled at him, but that was more because he was playing well. Players don’t mind the tough love approach on occasion, he said, as long as there’s some meaning behind it. “I don’t think it matters what approach you take, as long as the players respect the reasoning behind it and the hockey smarts behind it,” said Halpern, who most recently played for Michel Therrien in Montreal and Tortorella in New York. “If you’re ranting and raving for no reason, players tend to tune you out right away. But if you’re smart about what you’re saying, there’s a purpose and players are able to kind of look at it and see that there’s a purpose behind it and that it works, players will respond to it.” Toronto defenceman Jake Gardiner, who played for Eakins with the AHL Marlies, said Eakins’ strength is being approachable to his players. “If you want to talk to Dallas, he’s not a very hard guy to approach and that’s what makes him so good,” Gardiner said Tuesday from Campbellville, Ont., where he was the drawmaster for the $1-million North America Cup harness race. “Guys are willing to go into him and he’s accepting to that. “He’ll tell you exactly what you need to work on or what you’re doing well and to keep doing that. Most of the time he’ll be positive and when he has to be he’ll get on you for it.”
Woods, Garcia aren’t seeing much of each other at Merion BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Open, and we tee it up in two days.” That handshake might be their only meeting this week. Garcia said the range on Monday was not the right time to apologize to Woods, but that the world’s No. 1 player was gone when Garcia was done practicing, and the opening day of U.S. Open practice was delayed three times by rain. They are on opposite sides of the draw — Garcia plays Thursday morning and Friday afternoon,
ARDMORE, Pa. — Unable to arrange a private meeting, Sergio Garcia left Tiger Woods a note in his locker Tuesday at the U.S. Open with hopes of moving on from his racially charged comment and getting back to playing golf. “I did leave him a note — a handwritten note,” Garcia said. “And hopefully, he can take a look at it. It’s a big week and I understand that it’s difficult to meet up and stuff. So hopefully, I’ll be able to do it. If not, at least he has read the note and he’s happy with that.” The note presumably was an apology — Garcia said it would be up to Woods to share the contents. It was the latest — and perhaps final — chapter in a messy feud that ended badly for the Spaniard when he jokingly said at awards dinner in England that he would invite Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. “We will serve fried chicken,” Garcia said. He apologized to Woods and everyone he offended in a news conference the next day and said he left a message for Woods through his agent. Garcia approached him on the practice range Monday at Merion for a handshake, and little more. “We didn’t discuss anything,” Woods said. “Just came up and said, ’Hi,’ and that was it.” Asked if Garcia apoloCanadian Tire #329 • 2510 Gaetz Ave. gized, Woods said, “No. Red Deer, AB It’s already done.

Woods tees off Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Unless they are near each other on the leaderboard on the weekend, they might not see each other again. And there is some question whether Woods will even see the note. Woods rarely goes into the locker room at the majors, except for the Masters. Through the years, his locker has been filled with requests for him to autograph various items, and outside vendors try to leave messages for him.
BY ADVOCATE STAFF Erin Seater was thrilled to be named Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School female athlete of the year in 2012. She doubled her pleasure last week by winning the same award for 2013. “It’s a big honour for me to get it two years in a row,” Seater said earlier this week. “It was a great thing for me to get and I know my mom was really proud. It’s a nice way to finish off my high school career.” Seater, who next fall will attend the University of Calgary to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree and perhaps compete with the school’s triathlon club, played volleyball, basketball, handball, rugby and soccer and competed in track and field during her four years at Lindsay Thurber. “I’m going to miss all the weekends in hotel, all of the trips with the different sports teams and how we got close as teammates. It was like one big family,” she said. “I’ll also miss the coaches. Pretty much ev-
ery coach had a different type of influence — a different type of impact — on me.” The Lindsay Thurber male athlete of the year is convinced he’s a better person due to the coaching he received over the past four years. “One (coach) in particular would be Dean Plant,” Spencer Yeats said of the Raiders rugby mentor. “He had a big influence on me. He coached me all four years and taught me a lot on and off the field.” Yeats, a basketball, track and field, rugby, handball and football athlete during his time at Lindsay Thurber, has no immediate plans concerning post-secondary education, but would like to play rugby at a junior level and perhaps at a university level down the road. Whatever transpires in his future, he’ll always be known as the 2013 Lindsay Thurber male athlete of the year. “This means everything to me after playing four years of sports here,” said Yeats. “It’s the perfect way to finish my time at this school.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Sylvan getting more police BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF The Town of Sylvan Lake is bolstering its police force. Council approved an RCMP request for two additional officers on Monday. A school resource officer and a constable that will focus on identifying crime trends and undertaking lengthier investigations were requested by detachment commander Staff Sgt. Gary Rhodes in a presentation to council. Sylvan Lake RCMP Sgt. Michelle Boutin said on Tuesday that both officers will focus on specific areas and will not form part of the regular detachment rotation. “Basically, what we wanted was an additional resource that wouldn’t take away from our current manpower,” said Boutin.
Sylvan Lake detachment has 16 constables, three corporals, a sergeant and staff sergeant. The crime reduction unit officer will focus on crime trends, identifying links and laying the groundwork, such as preparing search warrants to back up larger scale investigations. It is a position that can be quickly assigned to target a spike in specific crimes, such as drug dealing, vandalism or young offender issues. Similar crime reduction units have been successful in detachments in Airdrie and Hobbema among others. The school resource officer will operate at four Sylvan schools and a school in Benalto and will oversee various programs, such as Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) and safe grad. Principals of H.J. Cody High School and
Fox Run Middle School and a representative from Chinook’s Edge School Division spoke in favour of the position at council. Part of the job will also be acting as a community resource officer and a liaison with local groups focused on family violence and bullying or working with seniors on issues such as identity theft. Boutin said it typically takes about a year to fill a new position and it is hoped the new officers are in town next spring. The estimated cost of each position is $105,000. The town, Chinook’s Edge and Red Deer County will share the cost of the school resource officer. The town will pick up the bill alone for the crime reduction unit staffer, leaving the town’s total share at $157,500. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Calkins pushing bill for mandatory secret ballot votes on union affairs Wetaskiwin MP Blaine Calkins has introduced a private member’s bill in the House that would require unions in federally-regulated sectors to hold mandatory secret ballot votes on union certification and decertification. Bill C-525, or the Employees’ Voting Rights Act, is Calkins’ response to what he says is federal labour law being behind current practices in five provinces, including Alberta. “I have heard from many employees across Canada, and in my riding, who want to have the right to a secret ballot vote. This legislative amendment will provide workers with the right to choose, free from intimidation or pressure, if they want a union to represent them,” the MP said in a release.

BRIEFS Councillor’s health efforts recognized A Blackfalds town councillor has been recognized for her efforts to promote healthy lifestyles. Blackfalds Coun. Carol Simpson was presented with an elected community leader award by the Alberta Parks and Recreation Association. The award was part of their 2013 Lieutenant Governor’s leadership for active community awards, which are presented every other year. She received the award on June 1 at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton. The awards are presented to individuals who demonstrate the very best of active com-
area of Central Alberta including the communities of Rocky Mountain House, Lacombe, Eckville, Alix, Blackfalds and Ponoka. The bill was introduced and given first reading on Wednesday. The bill would remove the “card check” system currently in place, which involves workers signing union cards to become certified. Union groups have come out against the bill, saying it would both make it more difficult for unions to organize and easier for them to be decertified. The bill proposes to raise the percentage of workers needed to have expressed support for a vote on certification from 35 per cent to 45 per cent, and then a secret ballot vote would require support from at least 50 per cent of all workers in the bargaining group, rather than simply a majority of munity leadership, engaging citizens in planning, using leadership to get people more active more often and work to create places, spaces and opportunities for people to be active and engage in their communities, using recreation as a catalyst. The next awards will be presented in 2015.
Everything ‘Blackfalds’ to be celebrated A three-day event will celebrate everything that is Blackfalds this coming weekend. From June 14 to 16 the most anticipated event for the town will feature youth octagon dance, a pancake breakfast, parade, oldies show and shine, slo-pitch tournament, kidz zone, Tera Lee and her band and fireworks at dusk. The event starts with a humans vs. zombies event for people ages 13 to 21. The Walking Dead of Blackfalds starts at 5:30 p.m. at the Multi-plex. This is followed by the oc-
those casting ballots. To avoid decertification, over 50 per cent of all employees in a bargaining unit would need to vote to keep the union in place, something union groups say would place an unfair onus on unions to ensure high voter turnouts and give employers the chance to attempt to suppress turnout. The current sitting of Parliament ends June 21. Sitting hours for the final two weeks before summer recess have been extended by the government in an effort to pass a flurry of legislation. Any bill that has not received royal assent before prorogation dies on the order paper and has to be reintroduced in another sitting. Calkins could not be reached for comment.
tagon dance for youth from Grades 5 and up at the community hall from 7 to 10 p.m on Friday. It costs $5 per person at the door. Saturday starts with the councillors pancake breakfast at the community hall at 7 a.m. followed by the parade. The kidz zone opens at the Multiplex at 1 p.m. with other events happening at that location. The show and shine takes place near the A&W on Highway Avenue. Saturday wraps up with a concert at All-Star Park featuring Tera Lee and her band at 8:30 p.m. followed by fireworks. The weekend closes out with a community church service at the community hall on Sunday. Breakfast will be served at 9 a.m. and a service from 10 to 11 a.m.
County officers to patrol Bowden Red Deer County peace officers will extend their patrols
Plans moved ahead for East Hill development and Red Deer’s future expressway. Red Deer city council approved planning documents related to the East Hill Major Area Structure Plan on Monday. Some residents questioned the need and location for an eventual six-lane expressway embedded in the major plan at a public hearing. They voiced concerns about property values and lifestyle changes. Others offered support for the plans and raised concerns about access into commercial areas and into school sites. Councillors said they have to plan for the future. They said the land has been purchased and there is a need to protect the right-of-way. Councillors also noted that the possibility of needing six lanes is decades away. Coun. Paul Harris unsuccessfully tried to change the wording of an expressway to an arterial roadway. Harris said the expressway is too costly for a road the city may never need. Lanes will be phased in over time based on population and development of the East Hill. Two lanes are expected to be drivable as early as 2018. Adding lanes would be subject to funding and council approval. The city also adopted: ● revised neighbourhood design principles to reflect unique neighbourhoods ● integrated parks and community spaces, mixed land uses ● compact urban form and density, multi-modal choice, resilient and lowimpact neighbourhoods

into Bowden. County council unanimously approved an agreement to provide bylaw enforcement and peace officer services to the town on Tuesday. The town has a bylaw officer but some extra help is required at times. County peace officers will provide 10 hours a month of coverage in Bowden at a rate of $55 per hour. Similar contracts are in place in Delburne and Elnora. Since the officers already patrol the surrounding area it will not require additional patrols or costs. “I think it’s just a natural progression,” said Coun. David Hoar. He noted the county also signed an agreement earlier this year to oversee fire protection in the community. Three county peace officers are on duty between 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. seven days a week. Coun. Philip Massier said it’s a “wonderful idea” to work more closely with the urban municipalities within county borders.

BRIEFS Court dismisses appeal of impaired driving death A Ponoka man sentenced to 33 months for the death of his mother has lost his bid to have his convictions overturned. On Tuesday, the Alberta Court of Appeal announced that it has dismissed Blair Jason Hinkley’s appeal of his conviction for impaired driving causing death and for causing an accident that resulted in death while driving when his blood alcohol content exceeded the legal limit. Hinkley was found guilty of both charges by Justice Ernest Marshall in Wetaskiwin Court of Queen’s Bench on Oct. 6, 2010. Charges were laid on April 13, 2010, after his mother, Shirley Hinkley, was run down by a semi-truck being operated on the family farm. Court heard that the truck had been running inside a Quonset for some time and began to move forward just as Shirley Hinkley walked in front of it. Within his appeal, Hinkley, 36 at the time of the incident, said he was not driving drunk, but had poured vodka onto a rag and used it to wipe his dying mother’s face. He then downed about half of the contents of the 40-ounce bottle. His blood alcohol content, tested two hours later, was recorded at 0.19. In dismissing his appeal, the panel of judges said emergency crews noted no vodka bottle at the scene. The panel also commented that there was sufficient evidence produced at trial for a jury to conclude that the accused man was drunk at the time his mother was struck down. Shirley Hinkley was the wife of Gawney Hinkley, a longtime Ponoka County councillor and deputy reeve at the time of her death.
Judge, jury to hear stabbing case The case against a Samson Cree Nation woman accused of a fatal stabbing in Hobbema will be heard in fall by a Court of Queen’s Bench judge and jury. RCMP investigators allege that Jamie Lee Soosay, 34, was found inside a house in the townsite at about 7:40 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, 2011. Police reported that Soosay died in hospital. Phoebe Firingstoney, 31, was charged with second-degree murder. Ordered to stand trial after a preliminary hearing in Wetaskiwin provincial court last fall, Firingstoney was returned to court on June 7 to set a date and confirm her election of trial by judge and jury. Her trial is set for Sept. 23 to Oct. 4.

College expects continuing deficits BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Though they are required to maintain balanced budgets by law, Red Deer College’s comprehensive institutional plan has projected back to back deficits in the coming years. The college balanced its budget this year, in spite of significant funding cuts from the Alberta government’s March 7 budget. The college’s operating grant from the provincial government was cut by 7.3 per cent. To the balance the 2013-14 budget, among other measures, 32 job positions were cut at the college. Last year’s comprehensive in-
stitutional plan outlined a projected $1.6 million deficit for 201314, but that was balanced as the college is not legally permitted to operate deficit budgets. At Tuesday’s RDC board of governors meeting they approved the three-year comprehensive institutional plan, which includes projected budgets up until 2016. RDC president Joel Ward said the projections are based on conservative estimates and current funding models. The college has a projected deficit of about $1.6 million in 2014-15 and an estimated $4-million deficit in 2015-16. “Cuts are having an impact� Ward, adding they’re sending pow-

The popular birth-control pills Yaz and Yasmin have been linked to the deaths of at least 23 Canadian women —the youngest just age 14, Health Canada documents say. The deaths are among about 600 adverse reactions reported among women taking the contraceptives between 2007 and Feb. 28 of this year, Health Canada confirmed Tuesday. Doctors and pharmacists who submitted the reports to the Canada Vigilance Program said Yaz and Yasmin are suspected in the 23 deaths. The reports say most of the women died suddenly after developing blood clots, a known risk with the
pills. Since 2007, Health Canada said the program has received reports of adverse reactions among 333 women taking Yasmin and 267 women prescribed Yaz. Among those cases were 15 deaths linked to Yasmin and eight to Yaz. More than half of the women who died were under age 26, with the youngest being a 14-year-old girl. Most deaths reportedly occurred soon after the women starting taking the drugs. Yaz and Yasmin are both made by Bayer and are often characterized as “newer-generation� birthcontrol pills. The contraceptives are produced using drospirenone, a synthetic progestin exclusively produced by Bayer.

Suicide bombs strike heart of capital AT LEAST 14 KILLED AS REGIME PURSUES ADVANCES BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRIA
DAMASCUS, Syria — Twin suicide bombers targeted a police station in the centre of Damascus Tuesday, killing 14 people as regime forces aggressively pressed ahead with an offensive on rebel strongholds elsewhere in the country. The rush hour blasts, which caused extensive damage to cars and storefronts, demonstrated the ability of insurgents to strike deep in the heart of President Bashar Assad’s regime despite a series of recent setbacks on the battlefield. The bombings, which occurred in central Marjeh Square near the Interior Ministry, were the first such attacks to target the capital since regime forces, backed by fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah group, chased rebels from the strategic town of Qusair nearly a week ago. Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi said the attacks were a result of “the bankruptcy of the terrorist groups and those behind them because of the exceptional victories of our heroic armed forces all over Syria.” Al-Halqi said Qusair’s fall has rattled the enemies of Syria and pledged that the army would soon restore security and stability to the entire nation. The regime refers to the rebels as “terrorists.” Building on its victory in Qusair, the Syrian military has shifted its attention to try to clear rebelheld areas in the central Homs province, a linchpin area linking Damascus with regime strongholds on the Mediterranean coast, and the northern city of
Aleppo. On Tuesday, activists reported intensified clashes in Homs and its suburbs as the army closed in on besieged, rebel-held neighbourhoods of the provincial capital. The push by Assad’s forces has raised alarms in Washington and added a sense of urgency to calls for the international community to arm the rebels. U.S. officials said President Barack Obama and his senior national security staff plan to meet Wednesday to weigh options for providing assistance to the rebel fighters, and a decision could happen later this week. Syrian state TV quoted a security official as saying two suicide bombers struck in quick succession near a police station in the bustling Marjeh Square Monday morning. He said 14 people were killed and 31 were wounded. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a network of activists on the ground in Syria, put the death toll at 15 and said one of the explosions was caused by a man who blew himself up inside the police station while the other detonated his explosives outside the police station. The Observatory said most of those killed were policemen but did not have a specific number. TV footage showed smashed shop facades and blood splattered on the pavements and inside stores. Paramedics carried the wounded on stretchers to
ambulances, walking past cars that were mangled in the blasts. There was no responsibility claim for the blasts, but past suicide attacks and strikes on security installations have been claimed by the al-Qaida linked Jabhat al-Nusra group. The style of attacks also is a tactic commonly used by al-Qaida and other Sunni extremists. The high profile presence and growing role of Nusra Front and other extremists and jihadi groups in Syria is one reason why the West is reluctant to provide the rebels in Syria with lethal weapons. While nothing has been concretely decided, U.S. officials said Obama is leaning closer toward signing off on sending weapons to vetted, moderate rebel units. Syria’s precarious position in the heart of the Middle East makes the conflict that has already killed 80,000 people extremely unpredictable. The fighting also has increasingly taken on sectarian undertones as Assad enjoys support from many in his Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, while the rebels are mainly Sunnis. Lebanon, across the western border, suffered its own brutal civil war in the 1970s and the 1980s and is already experiencing increased religious tensions. Iraq, to Syria’s east, is mired in worsening violence. And Israel to the southwest has seen shots fired across the contested Golan Heights and has struck what it claimed were advanced weapons convoys heading to Hezbollah, with whom it went to war with in 2006.
Mandela’s daughters visit ill father in hospital JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Doctors are doing all they can to improve Nelson Mandela’s health as the 94-year-old icon spent a fourth day in the hospital for a recurring lung infection, South Africa’s president said Tuesday, as two of Mandela’s daughters visited their father. In a possible sign of the seriousness of Mandela’s condition, daughter Zenani Mandela — South Africa’s ambassador to Argentina — arrived at the hospital to see her father. Former wife Winnie MadikizelaMandela also visited. Mandela’s doctors briefed President Jacob Zuma on the former president’s health late Monday, the president said in a statement. In an interview, Zuma called Mandela’s situation “very serious” but said he has stabilized. “We need him to be with us and I’m sure that all the messages that have been pouring in to wish him (a) quick and speedy recovery, they’re highly welcome,” Zuma told broadcaster SABC, adding later: “And we certainly join everyone to say he should recover quickly, and I’m sure, knowing him as I do, he’s a good fighter, he will be with us very soon.” White House spokesman Jay Carney said that President Barack Obama, the first lady and everyone at the White House wished Mandela a “speedy recovery.” In a Johannesburg suburb, school children gathered outside his home on Tuesday and sang songs expressing hope the former president would recover.
Mandela, the leader of South Africa’s anti-apartheid movement, spent 27 years in prison during white racist rule. He was freed in 1990, and then embarked on peacemaking efforts during the tense transition that saw the demise of the apartheid system and his own election as South Africa’s first black president in 1994. His admission to a hospital in Pretoria, the capital, is Mandela’s fourth time being admitted to a hospital for treatment since December. His last discharge came April 6 after doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and drained fluid from his lung area. At Johannesburg’s Apartheid Museum on Tuesday, visitors walked through an exhibit showcasing the life of Mandela amid a feeling in the country that this hospitalization may be more serious than previous ones. “All these admissions to the hospital has been preparing us for this, that this may be the end, and that is enough to tell us this is very serious,” said Father Victor Phalana of Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Pretoria, who was touring the museum with two Catholic priests from Uganda. Outside Mandela’s Johannesburg home, school children from the Rainbow Hill Christian School sang words of encouragement. “We love you Mandela ... get well,

get well,” they sang. Lebogang Serite, a 12-year-old student at the school, said she “couldn’t be in a white people’s school” had it not been for Mandela’s anti-apartheid efforts. “He means a lot to me because he fought for the country. I couldn’t be in a white people’s school,” she said. “I know that if he was able to speak, he was going to play with them today. Unfortunately, wherever he is, he’s not well, but I know that he worked very, very hard for us. That’s why we are here,” said Mama Zodwa, a 57-year-old teacher from the school. On Monday a foundation led by retired archbishop Desmond Tutu described Mandela as an “extraordinary gift” and offered prayers for his comfort and dignity. The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation described Mandela as “the beloved father of our nation.” Mandela is seen by many around the world as a symbol of reconciliation because of his peacemaking role when white racist rule ended in South Africa.

lot of people with two good legs, but I periodically get a sore “leg” and have fallen several times. So I legally park in the handicapped spot. I have never had anyone openly direct a nasty comment toward me, but I sure have had my share of dirty looks. Someone once “reminded” me that I was in a handicapped spot, so I lifted up my pants leg. That shut him up. I would like to tell people that just because we don’t look disabled doesn’t mean we are not. Things beyond our control have happened to us. Also, to those of you who park in the handicapped spaces “just for a minute” to drop something off: I once had to cross a snow-covered parking lot in a wheelchair when the handicapped spaces were full of people without proper stickers or license plates.

BLUEGRASS AND FOLK FESTIVAL

From left, Scott Caan as Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, left, and Alex O’Loughlin as Det. Steve McGarrett, are shown in a scene from “Hawaii Five-0.”
Hawaii Five-0 honours original BANFF — There’s a risk when you attempt to remake a classic TV show but “Hawaii Five-0” executive producer Peter Lenkov thinks his “reimagination” of the long-running original has been a success. The original Hawaii Five-O ran from 1968-80 and starred Jack Lord who incorporated the now famous “Book ’em, Danno” catchphrase. Lenkov said he remembered watching the original series with his father and was treading very carefully after he successful pitched the show, which will begin its fourth season this fall. “In terms of the fans of the original, there’s always people who come to you with their arms crossed and say there’s no way you’re going to do better. We’re not trying to do better. We’re trying to honour that original show,” said Lenkov, a Montreal native, in an interview with The Canadian Press at the Banff World Media Festival. “We’re trying to expand on
BANFF WORLD MEDIA FESTIVAL the legacy of the show and trying to add some value by exploring the characters. I think if you can get them to watch they would see we’re truly fans of the original and that we are honouring it.” Lenkov said you can’t turn on a television in Hawaii without a constant reminder of the original series. “When you’re working in Hawaii it airs every day so I end up catching it at some point. It runs every day at 5 p.m. and I think it’s on twice on the weekend as well.” The new series stars Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim and Vancouver’s Grace Park. Lenkov said fans of the show can expect more character development next season and, borrowing from episodes from prior years, there will be flashback segments giving background on the main characters. You’d think shooting a series in Hawaii, far away from television hotspot Los Angeles, would reduce the pressure, but Lenkov
said that’s not the case. “In Hawaii it’s the only game in town. If you’re trying to crew on a show, you’ve got to get on Hawaii Five-0 or hopefully a movie comes into town cause most of the shows in the last couple of years that tried to shoot there for one reason or another have left,” Lenkov said. “The only successful show before us was Lost and then before that it was Magnum P.I. and before that the original Five-0.” Lenkov said there’s another advantage to shooting away from the mainland. It’s not like Los Angeles, where a crew can walk across the street and get a new job. “In Hawaii, when you’re the only game in town, those people bring their A game every day — 14 hours a day. Not only are they invested because it may be their only job for a while but also because the show represents them and their culture and who they are and they want the world to see Hawaii in its best light.”

‘Orphan Black’ star Tatiana Maslany reeling from Critics’ Choice win BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Regina-born actress Tatiana Maslany says she’s still in denial after scoring a surprise best actress win at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards. The Canuck star of Orphan Black triumphed Monday night over seasoned rivals including Claire Danes from Homeland, Keri Russell from The Americans, Julianna Margulies from The Good Wife, Vera Farmiga from Bates Motel and Elisabeth Moss from Mad Men. Maslany says from Los Angeles that she is definitely “the weirdo in that group,” and is trying not to focus too much on murmurs that the win could catapult her to more international fame. Last year’s critics’ choice actress winner — Danes from Homeland — went on to win the best actress Emmy Award. The 27-year-old Maslany earned the critics’ pick for her multiple turns in the Toronto-shot Space series, where she plays several varied characters who are clones of each other. For those late to the sci-fi drama, season one repeats on Space beginning Thursday and is also streaming online at space.ca. Season two of Orphan Black begins filming in Toronto this fall. “I’m still kind of in denial that it even happened, it’s all pretty surreal,” Maslany said Tuesday from Santa Monica, noting she thought there was “no way” she would win the category. The win is just the latest kudo for Maslany, who received a breakout performance special jury prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival for her comingof-age film Grown Up Movie Star and was named a “rising star” at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, a distinction meant to showcase the next generation of Canadian actors poised for international careers.

TORONTO — Alex Trebek says reports of his impending retirement are greatly exaggerated. The veteran TV personality says he has no plans to step down and is looking forward to launching a 30th season as host of “Jeopardy!” this fall. “The story got blown way out of whack,” Trebek said Tuesday of multiple reports he was preparing to retire. “That happened at around the same time that Matt Lauer was going through some problems with NBC regarding the Today Show and the tabloids got hold of the two stories and co-mingled them and decided, ‘Well, Matt Lauer should replace Alex Trebek and he’s being considered.’ I was told by my bosses that wasn’t the case and then Anderson Cooper’s name came up and then Ken Jennings’ name came up and there were a lot of names coming up.” The 72-year-old was in Toronto on Tuesday to promote his quiz show’s milestone anniversary season, debuting this fall on CHCH. He shot down recent stories suggesting he’s planning to retire after his contract expires in 2016, but also said he doesn’t know what the future holds. Trebek was cagey about whether he has an end
date in mind, saying: “I may not last ’till 2016. But I’m enjoying myself and we’ll see.” The dual Canadian-U.S. citizen joked that he may pursue a second career in Canadian city politics. He took a veiled jab at the ongoing crack cocaine scandal surrounding Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who has denied reports he was videotaped using the drug. “I have been considering going into politics but where and in what venue and at what level? Federal politics? Provincial politics?” Trebek mused in a deadpan delivery. “Maybe municipal politics, you know.... It might be kind of fun to come back to Toronto after having left Jeopardy! and run for an office here. If there’s one available. Wink wink.”

PETKAU JERRY WESLEY
Caroline Cecilia Malo of Red Deer passed away Sunday, June 9, 2013 at the age of 59 years after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born and raised in the Bonnyville area until she met and married Raymond Malo of St. Paul. They moved to Red Deer where they settled and started their family in 1974. Caroline was born on August 30, 1953 to Helina and Anthony Strzepek of Ardmore, Alberta. She was the youngest of six children and is survived by her husband Raymond Malo; her four children Christopher (Wendy) Malo, Raye Anne (Jason) Hilts, Michelle (Geno) H o u n j e t a n d To n i Vo n n e (Lee) Skjonsberg all of Red Deer, and five siblings, Leo (MaryAnne) Strzepek, Stephanie Sarafinchan, Polly (Michael) Kopala, Anna Podloski, and Julian (Lucy) Strzepek. Surviving grandchildren are Joshua, Cora, Colby, Dominic, Micheal, Jayna, Charlee and Carter. Caroline was predeceased by both her parents and in-laws. She loved and adored her family, especially her “Grandbabies.” Caroline will be dearly missed and mourned by all her family and friends, especially Michael and Teresa Shea, Betty and Wa y n e M a r t i n , L i l i a n n e Deschenes and Gramma Sheila. A very important lesson she taught her children was to cherish family. Caroline loved life and seeing the world and community around her, but nothing was more important than seeing her “Grandbabies” grow and play. Words and gratitude will never be enough for Krista Rawson, Nurse Practitioner from the Central Alberta Cancer Center who not only “treated” Caroline, but cared for the entire person and family. We are also thankful for the care and attention provided by Ly n n Z e n t n e r, M a r y A n n e Nonay and other nurses from Home Care recently. In lieu of flowers it was Caroline’s wish that people donate directly to the Red Deer Hospice Society and/or “Haying in the 30’s Cancer Society.” A Funeral Mass for Caroline will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 5508 48A Avenue, Red Deer on Thursday, June 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 a t 11 : 0 0 a . m .
