Network to boost diversity

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A new community-driven network designed to foster a place where everyone is welcome officially launched on Thursday.

T h e Red Deer Welcoming and Inclusive Communities (WIC) Network will help the city in its vision to be “a vibrant, healthy, a n d d i - TAZ KASSAM verse organization that supports a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone feels safe and can fully participate in community life.”

Taz Kassam, co-chair of the Red Deer WIC Network, said the goal is to address the 10 common commitments that have been outlined by the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination (CCMARD).

One goal is to involve the community by giving members a voice in anti-racism initiatives and decision making.

Judge clears Duffy of all charges in expense scandal

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Mike Duffy walked out of an Ottawa court a free man Thursday after a judge cleared him of all charges while at the same time delivering a scathing indictment of the Prince Edward Island senator’s former political masters.

Duffy sat almost totally still throughout the four hours Justice Charles Vaillancourt spent dismantling the Crown’s argument that the senator had deliberately defrauded

the public purse by claiming invalid living and office expenses and had engaged in corrupt behaviour when it came to paying that money back.

Vaillancourt all but wagged his finger in admonishment at the Crown as he

repeatedly questioned their decision not to extensively cross-examine Duffy or try to challenge his testimony with witnesses of their own during the trial.

But the justice’s harshest words were aimed at the Prime Minister’s Office under Stephen Harper and its conduct regarding a decision by Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to give Duffy $90,000 to repay his living expenses.

Vaillancourt said he did not see it the same way as the Crown, which had argued Duffy’s actions were driven by “deceit, manipulations and carried out in a clandestine manner” when he took the cheque.

“I find that if one were to substitute the PMO, Nigel Wright and others for Senator Duffy in the aforementioned sentence that you would have a more accurate statement,” Vaillancourt said.

Budget fails to address transportation funding

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta school jurisdictions were happy for the stable education funding in the provincial budget, but say a zero per cent increase won’t address old and new funding shortfalls.

“We’re grateful for the efforts government has made from a funding point of view. I think they would have faced a lot of pressure to provide cuts to an important area of the budget,” said Kurt Sacher, Chinook’s Edge School Division superintendent, said on Thursday.

But current funding doesn’t allow for potential employee contract settlements, tackle the funding shortfall for students with complex needs, or the lack of funding to bus students, he said.

“I think we understand the difficult economic times government faces.

But we’re really still concerned about transportation funding. We come up short in the neighbourhood of $700,000 a year.”

Chinook’s Edge instituted busing fees last year to help deal with costs.

“The board will have to continue to look at ways to make it up. One of those ways is unfortunately fees which they are always hesitant to do, but there’s not a lot of other options available.”

Red Deer Public Schools also put bus fees in place last year. The district faces a $350,000 deficit in transportation funding from the province.

“We’ve been trying to get the government to hear that for a while now, but they just continue to underfund transportation,” said Bev Manning, Red Deer Public School board chair.

She said the district welcomed 64 Syrian refugee students who arrived after Sept. 30 enrollment deadline so the district didn’t get funding for those

NETWORK: Help city host conference Another is to support measures to challenge racism and discrimination and to provide diversity and equal opportunities for all of us in the community, said Kassam.

“Red Deer has always been welcoming and inclusive for a lot of individuals but I think part of the discussion that needs to happen is how to strengthen and grow for the future,” said Kassam. “For example our Indigenous community … we need to provide some awareness and some support there. As well with our newcomers to Red Deer, that’s of particular importance. At this point it’s important to start the discussion and develop a plan and move forward.”

The network will provide education and awareness of racism while promoting empathy and compassion.

Over the next few months, the group will create a needs assessment in the community to identify barriers or challenges to access city services. An action plan will be developed and the findings will be presented to council sometime this year.

Kassam said the group has been meeting since November setting out its terms of reference and its goals. The most recent initiative is to help the city host the Fostering Diverse Communities Conference on May 12 and 13

Students come and go throughout the year so funding may balance out, but the 64 students, who required some extra supports, will probably cost the district $250,000.

She called the provincial budget as fair as could be expected, but it will still make for a challenging year.

“When we work through our budget here right away, it’s going to be pretty tight,” Manning said.

Sacher said he’s waiting for details on how the new carbon tax on fuel for buses and on natural gas and electricity for 43 schools will impact school

jurisdictions. The province promised more information at the end of May. “The impression is that funding levels are sustained so you can provide the same supports. But when there are additional costs, whether it’s the carbon tax or contract settlements that go beyond what’s in the budget, we have to make up for it and we’ve been doing that for the past four years,” Sacher said.

Recently Edmonton Public Schools asked the province to phase out public funding private schools and transfer control of charter schools to public boards.

Manning said Red Deer Public has not formally addressed the issue, but she agreed private schools shouldn’t get taxpayers’ dollars.

“Parents certainly have every right to make that choice. That’s not the issue for us. The issue is that public dollars are going to support those elite systems. We just don’t see it as an equitable situation throughout the province for students,” Manning said.

She said the district has worked hard to bring more choice to parents under the umbrella of public education. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

quiesce” and then “robotically” march out to repeat their scripted lines.

“The political, covert, relentless, unfolding of events is mind boggling and shocking,” Vaillancourt said.

Duffy’s face showed no emotion as he rose from his courtroom seat following the verdict, but he was greeted with hugs from his friends, family and even his lawyer before he left court and faced a throng of reporters.

But like he did at the end of every day of his trial on 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery, he climbed into his car without saying a word.

His lawyer Donald Bayne called the verdict a resounding acquittal.

“I would say that Sen. Duffy has been subjected for the last two and half, three years, to more public humiliation than probably any Canadian in history,” said Bayne.

Duffy can now resume sitting in the Senate if he chooses as his acquittal requires the upper chamber to immediately reinstate him.

In addition to the three bribery and breach of trust charges connected to the cheque from Wright, Duffy was charged with 29 other counts related to his residency, office and travel expenses.

Duffy had filed expense claims for his long-time Ottawa home, maintaining he was entitled to the money because a P.E.I. cottage was his primary residence. The Crown argued he barely ever set foot in the province and was seeking to make a buck.

But Vaillancourt ruled the senator had sought repeated advice on the subject of his residency and entitlements from as high an official as Harper

himself and “honestly and reasonably believed” that advice and acted on it.

The largest chunk of charges dealt with Duffy’s travel and expense claims, including $65,000 in Senate money that was funnelled through companies run

by Duffy’s friend Gerald Donohue for expenses like make-up costs, photos, paying a volunteer and hiring his personal trainer as a consultant.

The Crown referred to the money as a slush fund designed to get around Senate expense rules and Vaillancourt agreed that the way it was set up had a number of shortcomings, but it wasn’t a crime.

“The circumstances of this case are a far cry from the usual fraud/breach of trust playbook,” Vaillancourt said of the Donohue arrangements.

“I was not presented with evidence suggesting expensive wining and dining, lavish living or pricey gambling junkets, or secret financial hideaways.

Now, fraud and breach of trust can occur outside the aforementioned examples however, the thrust of all of Sen. Duffy’s perceived misadventures was focused on Senate business.”

Each of the trips Duffy took had legitimate reasons, even if they also included personal business such as the impending birth of a grandchild or an impromptu visit to a dog show to acquire a puppy, Vaillancourt ruled.

He acknowledged not everyone may be comfortable with Duffy’s approach.

“But you know certain uncomfortableness does not even begin to approach proof of criminal conduct beyond a reasonable doubt.”

DUFFY: Resounding acquittal Vaillancourt said he found Duffy a credible witness and that he was subject to intense pressure from the PMO and its staff, who only had one goal: make the political storm created by Duffy’s expense issues go away.

He said the email traffic between Wright, Duffy and other PMO officials exposed a chief of staff ordering senators around like “pawns on a chess board,” and saw senators “meekly ac-

Province ponies up $800K to clear the air

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The sources of the pollution that pushed the Red Deer region’s air quality past allowable standards may soon be conclusive.

The province’s long awaited action plan to clear the air in the region was released on Thursday.

It comes with an $810,000 cash infusion, which includes $250,000 grant for the Parkland Airshed Management Zone and in addition to a new air monitoring station in Red Deer, $560,000 will be provided to refine monitoring in the area.

Kevin Warren, executive director of the Parkland Airshed Management Zone, said the money will strengthen the efforts to identify the sources of high fine particulate matter levels in the airshed.

The sources could be anything from motor vehicle emissions, home heating or emissions from coal-fired plants.

Warren said it is important to have a better understanding of the sources because you do not want to invest all these efforts and money only to find out later on that it was the wrong move.

“If you are talking harder actions where you put limits on industrial facilities or changing regulations, you better make sure you have a pretty good understanding of what the sourc-

City to host Budget 2017 Open House Red Deerians are once again invited to join the city at the Budget 2017 Open House on Tuesday.

It’s an event where residents can provide input to council and administration on how they would prioritize spending their tax dollars.

“We are asking residents to provide input to ensure the city’s agenda reflects our community’s needs and priorities,” said Mayor Tara Veer.

“The feedback received at this open house will help determine the 2017 operating and capital budgets for the city, and ultimately the future of Red Deer.”

The open house will be held at Festival Hall (4214 58 Street) between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.

Expect traffic delays for the next three months Motorists in northeast Red Deer can expect some traffic delays for the next three months.

Portions of the 67th Street and 30th Avenue bend in northeast Red Deer will be down to one lane in each direction as part of the 67 Street and 30 Avenue Expansion Project starting next week.

On Tuesday, Carleton Avenue at 67 Street will close to allow crews to

es are,” he said. “Because you don’t want to invest all those efforts and all that money and find out later that wasn’t where we should have been putting our dollars.”

He said they have a good sense that a lot of the pollution has to do with motor vehicle emissions.

Warren said PAMZ can get straight to work on the next phase of the monitoring with the funding now secured.

“We believe and what we have seen most of our elevated PM 2.5 event days are related to winter time smog,” said Warren. “We are going to get a monitoring program all set up and ready to go so it’s running by the next winter.”

Warren said he welcomes the plan and looks forward to delving into the details.

Between 2009 and 2013, ambient air quality in the Red Deer region exceeded Canadian standards for fine particulate matter.

The plan will help bring ambient air quality in compliance with national standards.

The government will undertake a number of actions to address both industrial emissions and non-point sources such as transportation.

Under Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan, all coal pollution in the province will be phased out by 2030.

Burning coal is one of the major sources of air pollution. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com connect the new east extension of 67 Street with Carleton Avenue.

This closure is expected to last until late June or early July.

During this time, access to Clearview Market will be from Carrington Drive at 30th Avenue for both vehicles and pedestrians.

In July, Carleton Avenue at 67 Street will re-open and Carrington Drive at 30th Avenue will close.

Access into Clearview Market will switch from Carrington Drive to Carleton Avenue for the remainder of the construction season.

Additional work is also happening on 30 Avenue from Crossley Avenue to Hwy 11 (55th Street) for the month of May, starting on May 2.

Lane closures will also be in effect through this stretch.

“We know there will be delays, so give yourself extra time while driving in this area during construction season,” said Wayne Gustafson, Engineering Services manager. “We thank motorists, businesses and residents in advance for their patience as we work to improve the safety and performance of our road network.”

The 67th Street and 30th Avenue Expansion Project involves the extension of 30 Avenue north, 67th Street east, and the construction of a modern twolane roundabout where they intersect, northeast of Clearview Market. The modern roundabout will accommodate future growth in northeast Red Deer, improve traffic flow, decrease congestion and improve traffic safety for all road users.

Churches risk losing moral authority GREG NEIMAN OPINION

T

here are many reasons why people choose to be people of faith.

People join religious organizations for as many reasons as there are people. People decide to leave or ignore religion for just as many reasons.

Each decision is personal.

Even so, reasons for joining up can be broadly categorized, and one main category is that adhering to a religious faith gives one a well-considered moral anchor to underpin the decisions people make in their day-to-day lives.

The Golden Rule is pretty well universal, but it can encompass hundreds of subtexts. Deciding on them has kept theologians employed since before people built the pyramids.

But what happens when the decisions of church authorities are out of step with the moral understanding of parishioners? When this happens, we get the studies that document the empty pews.

A couple of examples from recent events: Canada’s mainline churches are just beginning to formulate (or update) faith statements on doctor-assisted suicide. To oversimplify for the sake of

an article, their considerations must balance belief in the sanctity of life as a God-given gift, and the notion that God-fearing people need to respect the law, but are free to make their own choices.

The law of the land, as interpreted by our Supreme Court, holds that Canadians have the right to exercise their autonomy — the right to decide for themselves when they die, if they are extremely ill and suffering intolerable pain. Federal legislation (Bill C-14), was proposed to align our criminal code with that court decision.

The bill is subject to wide criticism.

The arguments around C-14 and doctor-assisted death inevitably break down to individual cases, but governments must write blanket legislation.

And churches feel the need to make blanket judgments on issues of life and death as well.

The trouble is, just as happened with long-ago public debates over the morality of divorce, abortion and same-sex marriage, the people in the church pews are very familiar with individual cases that do not align with blanket church policy.

And that major category of reasons for joining a church — having a moral anchor upon which to make decisions — has been weakened.

In another example, Canadians have learned that a large group of Catholic organizations was inexplicably let off the hook for $25 million in

reparations to people hurt in Canada’s historic Catholic residential schools.

By an alleged misunderstanding between lawyers, of all things.

Former federal Conservative minister of aboriginal affairs Jim Prentice and Phil Fontaine, former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations determined in 2006 that a group of more than 50 Catholic organizations should pay reparations in the amount of $79 million. This was to be part of reconciliation over the tragedy of abuses that had victimized children in the residential schools.

Some of the money — $29 million — was to be immediate cash. Another $25 million was to be paid through in-kind services. And a further $25 million was to be raised through internal fundraising.

The first two obligations have been met. But years later, fundraising had only gathered about $3.7 million.

Here’s where the misunderstanding apparently comes in. A judge in Saskatchewan ruled that a third party might reasonably conclude that a federal lawyer agreed the Catholic groups had tried hard enough to complete their obligations, and were therefore not required to raise the rest of the money.

Somehow, this became a legal thing.

A legal thing, but not a moral one in the eyes of people in the pews, on the streets and in the aboriginal communities.

So how do church leaders rule from the pulpit on moral issues like the right to decide one’s death in certain cases, when the history of church hierarchy on issues of divorce, abortion, same-sex marriage or obligations to people who have been harmed have been out of step with laws made in our democracy? When the people in the pews are themselves individually or have people close to them who are outside official church dogma, or have a different moral code?

Ultimately, faith is an individual decision. Joining a faith group widens individual choices into decisions made by a congregation and its leaders — the people called explain the Golden Rule in all its complexity.

Every generation, every decade almost, has its moral crisis. Today’s crisis is about how people in extreme pain can decide to end their pain.

The bond between believers and church leadership today depends more on guiding and supporting individuals, than accepting doctrine proclaimed from on high. Doctrine has proven to be less eternal than we used to think.

Better to ponder how faith groups can console the survivors of people who make a legal choice to end their own suffering, and leave judgment to even higher authorities.

the unknown. It’s blinded to the facts that oil (i) will continue to need to come out of the ground for years before we transition to other energy sources, (ii) riskier methods of moving oil (e.g. ship, rail and trucks) instead of lost pipeline deliveries, creating a greater probability of environmental damage, and (iii) oil left in the ground in Canada will be replaced by oil pumped out of the ground by other countries, such as the U. S., Iran, and Saudi Arabia, whose oil transport may not be as well-regulated as a Canadian pipeline alternative. Only those blinded by their biases would ignore these possibilities.

If these narrowly focused groups want to influence more people other than themselves, then they need to stop being so self-serving and instead provide open, critically-reflective possibilities (that don’t exclude obvious facts!) subject to reasonable and thoughtful compromise. In a democracy, decisions should not be based on self-serving Ideological Blindness but on open possibilities (like high speed rail transportation alternatives) capable of consensusbuilding.

Jim Gough Red Deer

Assisted Suicide legislation. I am against this legislation. I feel that it is a moral absolute that we do not assist one another to take a life. There is a very great number of Canadians who feel the same way, and an even greater number would also oppose this legislation if they looked at the issue with a true conscientious perspective.

My argument is as follows: 1) The term “dying with dignity” is false. We need to re-examine what dignity really means. Dignity cannot be measured by status, wealth, or physical health. A person who cannot meet the daily needs of living or who is suffering from an incurable illness is every bit as dignified in their pain and suffering as one who is in perfect health. It is no more dignified to “slip away in peace” than to die in agony.

To argue the opposite is an injustice to those who have died after years of suffering and those who continue to honour life and are coping with terrible circumstances. If there is equality for all in life, there too must be equality for all in death.

2) No one was promised a life without suffering. Of course we feel compassion and great sadness when witnessing the suffering of others, but we must remember that there is purpose and meaning to every life and to every suffering. I pray every day, as I assume most people do in some form or another, that we keep our health, and never have to face a future of catastrophic hardship and pain. But I also accept

that ultimately I do not control my future and that I will have the courage and fortitude to face what lies ahead.

To do otherwise is to give in to fear and hopelessness. I truly believe in a Canada where we face fear with hope and do not turn away, but turn towards each other in our pain and grief. As individuals our purpose is to bear what has been put upon us and allow others to care for us, rather than to embrace our pain and grief as a means to abdicate that responsibility. Suicide can never be condoned, as it leaves those of us behind with grief and hopelessness.

3) Our responsibility to one another is to comfort where we can, and to give hope, always. We do not honour life in giving death. We honour life by being there for one another in life. Let the resources we have be used to develop a national palliative care and end of life strategy that is sorely lacking in this country. Too many of us have had to see loved ones die in pain and hopelessness that in turn we have turned to this easy fix of assisted suicide. How sad it is that our nation’s leaders tell us there is no hope, as a people we tell one another I cannot love you enough, I have given up. Because that is what physician assisted suicide is — giving up.

I urge you to examine your own conscience in this regard, and to act on the principle that every life matters.

Neither side of spectrum wants to talk realities We have a problem. As citizens in a democracy, we should want to support the best decision possible for everyone. However, proponents of the extreme right (Ubers) and left (Leaps) fail to provide us with information to make well-informed, critically reflective decisions. When proponents get embedded in biased ideological perspectives, we all lose any sense of balance to support wellinformed decisions. Extremists create Ideological Blindness. A couple of current examples make this clear.

First, the support for Uber-X parttime taxi services has led proponents of this service to undervalue the obvious loss of income to people (with no obvious way to recover the loss) whose sole employment is based on operating an independent taxi service under costly conditions highly regulated, in favour of providing people fully employed with part-time supplementary income. If one weren’t blinded by ideology, desire for many consumer choice options, this would clearly be self-serving greed. What are these full-time taxi drivers supposed to do to make up for their lost income, get a part-time job?

Second, the Leap Manifesto, which wants to insure that all Canadian oil stays in the ground. This clearly suffers from a knee-jerk “leap” into

Swing dancers descend on Red Deer

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

“The Lindy hop is really an amazing dance. It was the precursor to the jitterbug,” said Carle. Anyone who’s seen boogie-woogie 1940s dancers, or 1950s youths jiving to early rock ‘n’ roll will get the jitterbug’s care-free, anything-goes vibe.

Let’s Swing Red Deer was started last September by Carle, with help from two Edmonton-area dancers, including former Red Deerian Darryl Glen.

Carle said she loves big band music and “the joy of dancing.” Having recently moved to Red Deer from Calgary, she was looking for a fun activity she could do with others.

Starting a swing dance club was a natural choice.

You don’t need to come with a partner, she said — singles are paired up, and dancers rotate partners throughout the evening.

“They told me, ‘If you build it they will come,’” recalled Carle, and they are. She estimates about 150 people have attended Let’s Swing Red Deer events.

There are about 30 core dancers, including some

teachers who enjoy training newbies.

“Everybody can dance,” proclaimed Carle. “With some people, it takes a little longer, but if you stick with it … (you) can become a beautiful dancer.”

The band Read Fenton and his Hep Cats will perform swing music tonight at the 9 p.m. dance at Dance Traxx Studio. Tickets are $10 at the door — dance lessons for newbies are at 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, an Alberta Inspiration Weekend Workshop will be held with dance classes offered during the day. A 9 p.m. dance will be held with live music from the Joe Semple Swingtet and performances from Miss Behavin’ and The Sugar Sweets.

The cost is $50 for the full day, or $20 only for the evening dance and performances — beginner lessons at 8:30 p.m.

The nostalgic era of circle skirts and bow ties will be revived this weekend as swing kids of all ages come to Red Deer to jitterbug and Lindy hop to live band music.

Up to 70 dancers from across Alberta are expected to show off their agility and athleticism at a swing-dance celebration tonight and Saturday. It’s being presented by non-profit community dance groups Let’s Swing Red Deer and Edmonton’s Alberta Inspiration Weekend at leased space at Dance Traxx Studio (4716-60th St.) Swing dancers of all skill levels, and those who’d like to try it, are invited to don some vintage duds and come on down.

But a note to the uninitiated: Those elaborate swing-your-partner-‘round-your-shoulders, betweenyour-legs, or across-your-torso moves are not to be attempted lightly …

In fact, Karen Carle, a co-founder of Let’s Swing Red Deer said these showboaty moves are actually too dangerous for the dance floor, since the haphazard swinging of partners could injure fellow dancers.

“This is not for beginners or the social dance floor. These are mesmerizing moves, but they are for performances,” she said.

Exuberant swing dancing has been embraced by a college-aged generation turned on to its fun athleticism and social benefits by movies such as Swing Kids (1993). The Internet is full of jaw-dropping videos of competitive young couples flipping each other all over gymnasiums in their quest to bring a trophy home.

But Carle stressed the pressure is definitely not on in Red Deer. “The key to it is just relaxing and being in a good mood …”

This kind of dancing is more about feeling than technique. It’s about internalizing the pulse and the beat of swing music — those upbeat, horn-heavy tunes popularized by Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. “It’s all in the beat. It’s about bouncing and having fun,” said Carle, who noted more seasoned dancers will improvise their own moves.

The most popular of swing dances is the Lindy hop (reputed to be named for Charles Lindberg). It came out of the 1920s jazz culture of Harlem, N.Y. This high-energy fusion of many dances, including tap, breakaway and the Charleston, was at its Chicken & Apple height in the late 1930s, with Monterey Jack cheese early 1940s. on a Ciabatta Bun. Combining improviYour choice of side. sational elements of African-American dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances, the main Lindy step is the swingout. Dancers go from being close together in a waltz position to being far apart, connected by just one hand in the open position.

GRASS FIRES BURN ALONG HWY 20

SEXUAL ASSAULT

SART launches in Rocky

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

Council to debate lowering residential waste limit

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer city council will talk trash on Monday.

Council will debate lowering the residential waste limit to three from five units before considering a bylaw for the proposed change.

A unit is defined in the bylaw as a bag or can with a 100-litre capacity.

The move to three units is part of the Waste Management Master Plan to bring Red Deer’s per capita disposal rate down to 500 kg per capita per year. The average number of waste units set out by households in Red Deer is 1.8 units per week.

Janet Whitesell, Waste Management superintendent, said surveys and waste audits conducted have shown us that Red Deer is capable of this reduction.

Residents would continue to have the option of purchasing extra waste tags for $1 per tag, which can be affixed to a garbage bag. If the three unit limit is approved by council, the city will provide each household with access to a fixed number of courtesy waste tags for residents to use at their own convenience.

Council will hear second reading on Monday and potentially third and final reading.

Man charged after major drug bust near Markerville looking for new lawyer

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF The preliminary hearing for a man charged after a major drug bust near Markerville is in jeopardy because he has parted company with his lawyer.

Michael Alois Schaab, 42, was among the suspects arrested in connection with a raid on April 15, 2015, involving more than 100 RCMP from detachments throughout Central Alberta.

Police allege seizing a variety of street drugs as well as explosives, firearms and stolen vehicles.

The incident at Markerville was co-ordinated with simultaneous raids

Local BRIEFS Preliminary hearing scheduled in drug case Suspects arrested during a drug bust in Red Deer’s Clearview Ridge subdivision have asked to stand trial in the Court of Queen’s Bench, pending results from a preliminary hearing.

Justin Davis Yakimchuk, 23, and Damon Rhys Meidinger, 22, were arrested on Jan. 22 after RCMP from Red Deer and Innisfail raided a Red Deer residence. Police allege seizing 217 g of cocaine, 48.9 g of methamphetamine and $2,100 in cash during their investigation.

The two men were charged with possessing drugs for trafficking and possessing stolen property.

Lawyers acting on their behalf entered their trial elections, including requesting a preliminary hearing.

Such hearings are optional and may be heard in provincial court to test the Crown’s evidence before proceeding to trial.

Yakimchuk and Meidinger’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14.

Bail set at $10K for suspect in drug case One of the four suspects arrested in a major drug bust in Red Deer earlier this month must raise $10,000 before he can be released from jail.

Matthew Rose, 31 and three other people were arrested on April 13 by RCMP conducting a co-ordinated raid at three different homes in Red Deer, involving both sides of a duplex in Garden Heights as well as a house in Timberlands.

Police allege seizing massive quantities of drugs during the raids, includ-

in Lloydminster and Kitscoty. Police seized drugs and electronics at the Lloydminster property, but report no goods seized at Kitscoty.

Schaab is charged with numerous offences, including possessing drugs for trafficking, weapons offences, possessing property obtained by crime, unsafe storage of explosives and breaching an undertaking to a police officer.

Represented by Red Deer counsel Andrew Phypers, he had asked to have his case heard in the Court of Queen’s Bench with a preliminary hearing in provincial court beforehand.

The preliminary hearing, which gives defence counsel and the court a chance to test the Crown’s case before

proceeding to trial, had been set for May 31.

However, the case was brought into Red Deer provincial court on Thursday by Edmonton-based Crown prosecutor Christopher Williams because he had learned that Phypers had been removed as Schaab’s counsel of record.

Williams expressed to the court his concern that a new lawyer will have very little time to come up to speed on a highly complex case.

Schaab told the court that he is in the process of finding a new lawyer.

The matter has been set to May 6, when Schaab’s new counsel is to discuss proceedings with Williams and Judge Gordon Yake.

ing 8 kg (18 pounds) of marijuana and one kg (2.2 pounds) of cocaine, as well as other drugs, equipment for using drugs, weapons, cash and cell phones.

Rose is charged with six counts of possessing drugs for trafficking, two counts of possessing stolen property worth more than $5,000 and one each of careless use of a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm.

He appeared before Judge Jim Glass in Red Deer provincial court on

Thursday via video feed from the Red Deer Remand Centre and represented by Red Deer defence counsel Will Willms.

Glass accepted bail conditions jointly proposed by Willms and Crown prosecutor David Inglis, including a $10,000 cash deposit along with residency restrictions and a curfew as well as other conditions.

Rose and his lawyer are due back in court on June 2.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

How To Protect Kids Teeth at College Dear Dr. D: My son is heading off to university in the fall. He's a good kid generally, but he seems to get talked into some outrageous things by some 'friends'. I've been on his case all his life to take care of his teeth, and they are in decent shape (but only because of parental hounding). What is the worst thing that can happen when he is off on his own for the first time?

A: Remembering some hijinks from college days anywhere – lots could happen. Firstly, there is absolutely no substitute for daily care and attention. Brush and floss - always. If he doesn't do that he'll come back next summer with problems. In no particular order – here are some other concerns. We saw a kid who opened a beer bottle with his teeth and snapped off his front central tooth. It was broken at a 45 degree angle and was a difficult 'fix'. Three weeks after the repair, he was back in for the tooth right beside it – because apparently his friends asked him how the other one broke and he thought a demonstration was worth a thousand words. Foolishness – no antidote but time. Drugs are a big problem. Kids these days can develop a drug habit right under their parents' roof, and they often have no clue. Without supervision it can happen. We suggest watching diet changes, because some of the street drugs can destroy teeth in short order. Protecting teeth from damage through sports is important. A properly fitted sports mouth guard can ensure your child finishes college with the teeth they started. We've also seen, over the years, plenty of damage from fighting that can knock out teeth beyond repair. Hopefully that won't be an issue.

One relatively common problem that most people don't really talk about these days is bulimia and anorexia. This affects females to a very great extent, and low self-esteem issues can trigger a lifelong eating disorder crisis. Teeth seldom survive this disorder well.

Because it is emotionally driven, it doesn't often get the attention it deserves. There are, like with many health issues, insufficient facilities to deal with it. A colleague did some significant work in this field, and tells me that treatment in these residential facilities can cost a family more for one month than they paid for the family car.

This is all the more reason to be aware of our teenagers' emotional well-being while we have them under our own roof – which is really more fleeting than many realize.

Your lad will likely fly through the college experience. Make sure he gets dental checkups regularly – that will be his and your best tool!

More help is available for recent victims of sexual assault in the Rocky Mountain House area.

After a year of planning, Rocky now has a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) to provide a co-ordinated and collaborative response to victims seeking support from agencies in the town.

The Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services worked with government agencies, hospital, police and community-based services in Rocky to develop the team and enhance existing services with current staffing.

Barbara Hagen, collaborative community response co-ordinator with the association, said 60 people attended training in January.

“The commitment in Rocky was huge. They were at the table. They were energized,” said Hagen on Thursday.

She said the community wanted consistency in their approach because sometimes responses worked well in the past and other times it did not.

“Most of us were providing support to victims of sexual assault before.

This is way better. This is a collaborative approach and we’re moving forward as a community as a whole and we’re all on the same page,” said Cindy Easton, executive director or Mountain Rose Women’s Shelter.

She said SART includes the ability to do forensic evidence collection which means victims won’t have to travel to Red Deer, especially if they already had to travel a long distance to get to Rocky.

“The one thing you don’t want to do is cause the person more trauma.”

The Rocky team is one of five new teams in the Alberta. Others were developed in Fort McMurray, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie and Lloydminster.

Sexual Assault Response Teams already operate in Red Deer, Lethbridge, Edmonton and Calgary.

Funding to develop the new teams was provided by Status of Women Canada and the Alberta government. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Rains and heavy snows forecast through the weekend cannot come soon enough, says Rimbey’s fire chief.

‘I don’t want the wet snow, but I’ll take it,’ John Weisgerber said on Thursday, while describing a series of three grass fires that broke out that afternoon along Hwy 20 between Rimbey and Bluffton. It appears that some form of spark had come off of a car that was travelling along the road, although the actual source of the ignition is not known, said Weisgerber. His crews have been called to a number of small grass fires in recent days. Fortunately, there have been no major fires so far, but there is plenty of dry grass that will continue to be vulnerable to ignition until conditions change, he said.

Duffy back in Senate after acquittal

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — After a three-year hiatus from his third-floor office in the Centre Block, Mike Duffy was let back into the Senate on Thursday, with access once again to the full resources of the upper chamber.

Senate officials announced his full standing within hours of a verdict that cleared Duffy of 31 charges.

But the decision does not end the Senate expenses scandal.

One current and one retired senator still face trials for questionable housing expenses. And seven former senators face the possibility of being taken to the court by the Senate itself if they don’t hand over almost $528,000 for improper expenses by the end of Friday.

It all means there are still open wounds in the Senate from the spending scandal that rocked the upper chamber for three years — at times sidetracking senators from debating legislation and delivering a blow to the credibility of its members.

“It’s been a difficult time for the Senate for the FRIDAY, APRIL last three years,” said independent Sen. John Wallace from New Brunswick.

“It’s obviously affected the senators who have been suspended, those who have been charged,

but it affects all of us. All of our reputations have suffered, our credibility. But we’re going to build that back.”

Duffy lost access to his office and Senate expense account three years ago when he was suspended without pay. The same fate befell senators Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin.

Brazeau faces his own fraud and breach of trust trial this year over housing expenses, and Wallin’s expense file has been with the RCMP for three years.

Duffy gained back his salary last summer when Parliament was dissolved for the election, as did Brazeau and Wallin, but not the other perks of the job until his acquittal Thursday on 31 criminal charges stemming from his Senate expenses.

Experts say that for Brazeau, the ruling could influence how the court sees his fraud and breach of trust charges over his housing expenses, which he has always maintained were proper. And for Wallin, it could mean a fresh look at the criminal investigation that has gone on for three years without any charges laid or the allegations against her tested in

22 TO THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2016

FINAL WEEK

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Parliamentarians are being urged to amend a proposed new law on medically assisted dying by the children of the woman whose suffering was central to the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the ban on assisted death.

Lee and Price Carter say their late mother would not have qualified for medical help to end her life under the restrictive provisions of the bill introduced last week by the Trudeau government in response to the top court’s ruling.

Instead, they say their mother and people like her would be forced to endure unbearable suffering, potentially for years.

“I’m shocked that this government’s proposal would exclude the very case this issue was tried on,” Lee Carter told a news conference Thursday on Parliament Hill.

“We fought for a half a decade and won our case at the highest court in the land and this bill would erase the victory that we achieved for people like my mom. We ask ourselves, what was the point?”

Kay Carter suffered from spinal stenosis, a painful condition that left her bedridden, unable to move or even feed herself. She found the loss of autonomy and dignity intolerable but was not, according to her children, facing imminent death.

The 89-year-old travelled secretly to Switzerland in 2010, where she legally obtained medical help to die. Her children, with the help of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and several other plaintiffs, carried on the court battle to legalize the practice in Canada.

The proposed federal law would allow assisted death only for consenting adults, at least 18 years of age, who are in “an advanced stage of irreversible decline” from a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability and for whom a natural death is “reasonably foreseeable.”

“Canadians should be angry that this legislation restricts the definition for who dies and who suffers,” said Price Carter.

Family urges MPs to amend bill

court.

The judge’s ruling in Duffy’s case laid a possible foundation for any other judge to determine what is and isn’t worthy of being charged to taxpayers, and drew a clear line between administrative irregularities and criminal activity, said Carissima Mathen, an associate law professor from the University of Ottawa.

“As much as we might not like the way that the Senate was being run…that’s an administrative problem, but it doesn’t by itself rise to the level of criminal conduct,” Mathen said.

“That’s something that I think the Crown will want to consider when it’s looking at the actual context of each of the expenses.”

The case against Duffy, a Prince Edward Island senator, launched a sweeping change in the oversight and guidelines for senators’ spending, with a probing audit of senators’ expenses. That audit found problems with the spending of 30 senators, 24 of whom have since been cleared by the RCMP of any criminal conduct.

Alberta BRIEFS Notley rethinking skepticism on Northern Gateway pipeline: spokeswoman EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is rethinking her stance on the Northern Gateway pipeline as her government and British Columbia work on a deal that could see a pipeline to the West Coast swapped for the purchase of electricity.

Notley’s spokeswoman Cheryl Oates said Thursday that talks are ongoing.

“B.C. is really looking to export their hydroelectricity,” said Oates.

“Alberta does not have a market for B.C.’s hydroelectricity unless we get our product to tidewater. So there’s a common understanding there.”

Notley has been cool to the idea of the $6.5-billion Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline, which would take Alberta crude more than 1,000 kilometres to a marine terminal in Kitimat, B.C.

Closing arguments in the trial are expected to begin Friday morning.

pill-pressing machines in the hope it would put a dent in the illegal drug trade.

Progressive Conservative Mike Ellis says his bill would require someone to have a licence to own a pill machine and anyone found breaking the law would face fines or a jail term of up to six months.

Criminal gangs import dangerous drugs such as fentanyl into Alberta in powder form and use machines to press it into pills that are sold on the street.

Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley says the government is studying the proposed legislation in great detail and is likely to support it.

But Ganley says it would be more effective if the federal government made owning pill presses a criminal office nationwide.

Health Canada says it is moving quickly to regulate dangerous opioid drug W-18 EDMONTON — Health Canada says it is moving quickly to include the dangerous synthetic opioid W-18 under the federal Controlled Drug and Substances Act but maintains the drug is already illegal under another law.

The department says it considers W-18, which police say is 100 times more powerful and toxic than fentanyl, to be a new psychoactive substance after testing two samples from Alberta.

The Alberta government has been urging Ottawa to take action after police in Edmonton seized four kilograms of W-18 in December.

Police have said there was enough of the white powdery drug to make millions of pills and Alberta officials sent out a warning to front-line health staff to watch for a possible increase in overdoses.

There were 272 fentanyl-related deaths in Alberta last year and health officials in the province consider W-18 to be more dangerous.

Health Canada says it is moving to treat W-18 as a Schedule 1 drug, which would make its unauthorized use illegal under the Act. Gilman did not indicate when the designation would take effect.

Grandfather of toddler who died from meningitis says boy lethargic, not ill LETHBRIDGE — The grandfather of a toddler whose parents are on trial in his death says the child was lethargic, but not ill, the night before he was rushed to hospital.

Anthony Stephan is the father of David Stephan, who along with wife Collet, are charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life for their 18-month-old son Ezekiel.

Court has heard how his parents gave him natural remedies, including smoothies with hot peppers and horseradish over a period of two weeks because they thought he had croup and the flu, but an autopsy found the boy had bacterial meningitis and a lung infection.

Two men charged with human trafficking of woman LLOYDMINSTER — Two men have been charged with human trafficking involving an 18-year-old Alberta woman.

RCMP say police got a call from a home in Lloydminster where they found a woman who alleged she was being held against her will and being forced to have sex.

One man was arrested a short time later, while another man was arrested in Manitoba.

Preston Carpenter, who is 32 and from Edmonton, and 28-year-old Cebien Dieujuste of Montreal are facing several charges, including trafficking in persons, sexual assault, and possession of a controlled substance.

Dieujuste was to appear in court today in St. Paul, while Carpenter is set to appear on July 6.

Alberta to spend $2.6M on ALERT police unit EDMONTON — The head of Alberta’s police unit that targets organized and serious crimes is praising the government’s decision to increase its budget by $2.6 million.

RCMP Superintendent Charmaine Bulger says the increase will mean Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams will not face layoffs this year.

The unit known as ALERT includes RCMP, Alberta Sheriffs and members of the Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat police services.

Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley says the budget increase is warranted when the province is facing gang violence, organized crime and dangerous drugs such as fentanyl.

Rebels ready for a battle REBELS HOPE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SHORT LAYOFF AS WHEAT KINGS HAD TO LIE IN WAIT

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Battle tested versus rested.

One team coming off a hard fought seven game series, the other with a week to rest up after disposing their opponent in five games.

It’s an old sports playoff trope, who will have the advantage the Red Deer Rebels, who last played on Tuesday in Game 7 against the Regina Pats, or the Brandon Wheat Kings, who have been off since April 15 when they beat the Moose Jaw Warriors in five games.

“Sometimes after a week off you can feel a bit off as a team. They’re going to be well-rested, they’re a good team and they knocked Moose Jaw out pretty quick. With us going seven games it’s a bit of a different story,” said Rebels forward Jake DeBrusk.

“Personally, I’m looking at it as we just got off a game and we’re in game shape and game ready and we’re looking forward to getting back on the ice and playing some competitive hockey.”

DeBrusk has had a lot of success against the Wheat Kings this season.

In the 10-0 blowout, he led the Rebels with three goals and two assists. DeBrusk split his season between Swift Current and Red Deer, he played five games against the Wheat Kings this year scoring five goals and adding two assists.

“Playing in Swift Current we played them eight times a year and you get used to how they play,” said DeBrusk.

“They’re a good, skilled team. I know I’ll have to bring my A game every night, that helps me get that edge.

“It’s going to be tight checking and a good series.”

Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said the Wheat Kings are part Calgary Hitmen and part Regina Pats combining skill with an uptempo game.

“They’re a talented team, so we have to be on our toes,” said Sutter.

“I don’t even talk about the 10-0 game, that happens once in a million years.

That’s not what it’s about. It’s about we were 2-2 with them this season, good games, tight games played.”

Debrusk, the Boston Bruins first round pick, is tied for first on the Rebels in playoff scoring with five goals and seven assists. Adam Helewka also has 12 points with eight goals and four assists. Luke Philp and Michael Spacek both have 10 points, Philp with three goals and seven assists and Spacek with two goals and eight assists.

For DeBrusk familiarity has bred both contempt, but also some important knowledge of the Wheat Kings strengths.

“They have good depth and lots of players who can get the puck to the net,” said DeBrusk.

“The biggest thing I can remember from playing against them is their rushes, they’re really good off the rush.

It’s going to be a battle and we have to be on our toes.”

John Quenneville and Reid Duke lead the Wheat Kings with 16 points

each, seven goals and nine assists for Quenneville and six goals and 10 assists for Duck. Tim McGauley and Nolan Patrick have 13 points each, six goals and seven assists for McGauley and five goals and eight assists for Patrick.

The Wheat Kings wrapped up their Eastern Conference semifinal early, taking it in five games. Having a week off they will be rested as the Rebels had just two days between the end of their semifinal and the start of the final.

“You don’t know until you get into the series what the advantage is, it’s the way it is,” said Sutter. “The Pats took us to seven games, seven tough games. All teams would like to have more time off than not. Sometimes it doesn’t happen like that and we went through a series with a lot of adversity and we had to deal with it the right

Predictions for the Rebels vs. Wheat Kings WHL Eastern Conference Championship

way and we came through it. And it was a heck of a series. They’ve been sitting and waiting.”

The Wheat Kings are on a tear this post-season. After losing the first two games to the Edmonton Oil Kings, the Wheat Kings have won eight of their last nine playoff games.

Notes: Conner Bleackley (wrist surgery) and Reese Johnson (shoulder surgery) will miss the rest of the post-season with injury while Ivan Nikolishin (lower body) won’t be ready for the start of the Eastern Conference Championship … The Rebels and Wheat Kings split their four regular season matchups. Both teams won two and lost two games, both teams also lost and won one game on the road each. The Rebels won 4-0 on Nov. 11 and 10-0 on Jan. 2. The Wheat Kings won 4-0 on Jan. 15 and 2-1 on Jan. 30. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com Murray Crawford, Red Deer Advocate sports reporter: Brandon Wheat Kings in six games.

Lalor, Brisbane named athletes of the year RED DEER ADVOCATE’S 2015 AOTY

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF In her time at Lindsay Thurber, Kelsey Lalor couldn’t pick just one sport to excel at.

Leader of the Raiders basketball teams in her Grade 12 year the multisport athlete is rarely not involved.

She’s also a star on the Lindsay Thurber senior girls’ volleyball and competes in track and field, cross country and badminton.

That’s without mentioning her trip to the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto as a baseball player for Team Canada.

The multi-sport success and passion make her the 2015 Red Deer Advocate’s Red Deer female athlete of the year. She is joined by Red Deer College Kings volleyball star Luke Brisbane, the 2015 Red Deer Advocate’s Red Deer male athlete of the year.

Recently, Lalor’s passion for basketball has grown. The 18-year-old wants basketball to be part of her post-secondary life and is currently debating staying in Canada or going to the U.S. to pursue an education and growth in the sport.

“Over the past few years I’ve played on the Lindsay Thurber varsity team and my passion for the game has grown a lot,” said Lalor. “It’s my favourite thing to do now, but I’m still going to continue to play baseball.

“I go to the gym every morning during the season. I feel like being out there on the basketball court, that’s where I’m supposed to be. I have a ton of fun going out and playing.”

The Lindsay Thurber Raiders girls basketball team overcame an early loss at basketball 4A provincials this year to go on a tremendous run and winning the consolation bracket. The team had gone undefeated in league play for the past three seasons.

The 18-year-old, was the starting left fielder for the womens national team at the Pan Am Games. The team won the silver medal at the games.

“To go out and be surrounded by elite athletes was incredible,” said Lalor. “I learned a lot about what they do to prepare for their events and how they carried themselves around the

village. It was also neat to see them compete and see their training pay off.”

In 2014, she played for Canada at the women’s world cup. The team lost the bronze medal game. The volleyball team finished fourth at provincials this year.

Lalor points to her parents as the source of much of her passion. From a young age she was at the gym, she said she grew up around baseball and sport culture.

For two straight years, Brisbane was named the Red Deer College Athlete of the Year. An impressive run with the Red Deer Kings volleyball team saw a national title and only one loss this year in league, playoff and national championship play.

The 20-year-old Australian came to Canada to play college sports and get an education. He started playing when he was 12, learning a bit from practicing with his older brother. They both went to a high school that had a strong volleyball program. From there he played in clubs, went to volleyball academies and got involved with the national program.

Brisbane said the national title was two years in the making.

“I don’t think we would have achieved it if we hadn’t got there last year,” said Brisbane. “We didn’t have much experience and we went in not really knowing what had to be done.

This year we knew what it would take to get it done.”

During this run, Brisbane was named the MVP of both the Alberta College Athletic Conference tournament and the Canadian College Athletic Association tournament.

In 2015, Brisbane was to the ACAC All-Conference team and CCAA the All-Canadian team. He was also named the ACAC and CCAA volleyball player of the year and the ACAC player of the year for all sports.

“I just go out and practice and play the best I can,” said Brisbane. “One award kind of leads to another.

“I don’t think too much about the individual stuff. We’ve had some great team success. I just want to have another successful year like we had this year. We have a good chunk of our guys

He added to his trophy case this year, repeating as the ACAC player of the year for all sports.

In 2015, he led the Kings to a second place finish in the ACAC. The team went on to compete at nationals that year.

Brisbane has three years left of eligibility to play with the Kings and the business student is staying in Red Deer for at least the next season.

● Other people who were considered included: Golfer Kate Griffiths, ranked second in the CCAA and a CCAA All-Canadian in 2015; Lauren Good, RDC Queens soccer keeper, was an ACAC All-Conference and CCAA All-Canadian selection; and Haydn Fleury, Red Deer Rebels defenceman, member of the 2016 Canada World Junior Hockey team and finished the 2015-16 Western Hockey League season with 12 goals and 29 assists. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

“It was tough competition. We didn’t go in there expecting to win, but we learned a lot,” said MacDougall, a Grade 12 student at Notre Dame.

“There were several top teams there, especially Brazil and Argentina,” added Antonio, who just finished her first year at RDC. “It was definitely a learning experience. It was a big change from what we were used to. The biggest thing was the speed of the game and the passion they have for the game.”

The sport is huge in Brazil, especially on the women’s side. They’re the only country outside of Europe to win the women’s world championship when they captured the title in 2013.

Penguins in driver’s seat after blanking Rangers

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins 5 Rangers 0 NEW YORK — The Pittsburgh Penguins might have been the NHL’s hottest team at the end of the regular season, playing the last month with Evgeni Malkin out of the lineup with an arm injury.

Well he’s back for the playoffs, and flashing his old brilliance.

Malkin scored two goals and set up two others and the Penguins pushed the New York Rangers to the brink of playoff elimination with a 5-0 victory Thursday night.

“I think he took another big step tonight,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.

“I thought his timing was better.

He’s getting stronger. His conditioning is getting better with each game he’s played. That is, quite honestly, what we expected to go through with Geno.”

Malkin, who tied his post-season high with the four points, assisted on two of the Penguins’ three first-period goals in helping Pittsburgh dominate the Rangers for the second consecutive game and take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven, first-round series.

Sidney Crosby, who added two assists, and the red-hot Penguins can wrap up things in Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Rookie goaltender Matt Murray, who returned to the lineup for Game 3, made 31 saves in posting his first playoff shutout.

Malkin wondered what his role would be on a team that was playing well without him.

“Of course, I thought about it when I’m not playing and the team is winning,” Malkin said. “I know I can help the team. I can help the power play.

This feels so much better. I know I can help this team win.”

Eric Fehr, Patric Hornqvist and Conor Sheary also scored as the Penguins tallied four times on 18 shots against Henrik Lundqvist, who was lifted early in the second period.

Pittsburgh converted 3 of 6 power plays, and is 7 of 19 in the series with the extra man.

The Rangers have lost five straight home playoffs games dating to last season, and these last two were horrible efforts.

“Today we are disappointed, angry, frustrated, for sure,” forward Mats Zuccarello said. “At the same time, you can’t let that go to your head. We have to win the next game and go from there.”

New York came into Game 4 vowing to pick things up after being totally outplayed in a 3-1 loss Tuesday night.

They brought tenor John Amirante out of retirement to sing the national anthem and the crowd at Madison Square Garden was buzzing when the puck was dropped.

The excitement disappeared 69 seconds into the game when Lundqvist gave up a juicy rebound on a slap shot

by Ben Lovejoy and Fehr charged down the middle of the ice to poke the rebound into the net. Malkin made the pass that set up Lovejoy’s big shot.

The big Russian, who hurt an arm in early March and didn’t return to the lineup until Saturday, helped push the lead to 2-0 at 7:11 with a shot from the

Crosby deflected the shot on the way in and Hornqvist tipped it again standing in front of Lundqvist for his fourth goal of the post-season.

Sheary hushed the crowd and made them start to realize this might be the final home game of the season, when he blocked a point shot by defenceman

Kevin Klein, skated down the left wing and beat Lundqvist badly on a shot from the circle for a 3-0 lead at 16:12. It was his first NHL playoff goal.

“I am just going to say I was not good enough,” Lundqvist said. “It was just a really bad game. I need to be better, simple as that. I don’t need to say any more than that.”

Late goal gives Lightning the series win over Wings Lightning 1 Red Wings 0 TAMPA, Fla. — Ben Bishop refused to crack.

Tampa Bay’s Vezina Trophy candidate stopped 34 shots, Alex Killorn scored with less than two minutes remaining and the Lightning advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

Bishop used all of his 6-foot-7 frame, even making one third-period save with his mask, to repeatedly deny the Red Wings and post his fourth career playoff shutout.

“I just wanted to find a way to win, the guys have done a good job scoring goals all series for me. … It was my turn tonight,” Bishop said. “I just had to keep them out of the net.”

Killorn’s second winning goal of the series was set up by Ryan Callahan, who retrieved goalie Petr Mrazek’s bad pass behind the Detroit net and centred the puck in the crease for Killorn’s backhander at 18:17 of the third.

Killorn also provided the winner in Game 1.

“It was a play where Mrazek makes a goalie play and Callahan kind of jumped him. Once I saw that Mrazek was out of his net, I was trying to gain position and go to the net knowing that if Callahan could get it to me I could probably put it in,” Killorn said.

“It’s a great feeling. We battled so hard for those two periods and there were periods where Bishop kept us in it. To get the winning goal with under two minutes left was huge because I think they did outplay us at instances in that game.”

Tampa Bay eliminated the Red Wings in the first round for the second straight year, advancing to a second-round matchup against either the Florida Panthers or New York Island-

STORY FROM PAGE B1

HANDBALL: It was fun The Red Deer women were scouted by the Canadian coach while playing for Team Alberta.

‘I was invited to a junior national team tryout camp in Edmonton and from there to the juvenile camp in Quebec,” explained Antonio, who plays in goal.

MacDougall, a right wing, took a similar road although she was invited directly to the Quebec camp.

The two, combined with a pair of players out of Sherwood Park, were the only members of the Canadian team outside of Quebec.

“It was interesting playing with the others, but the toughest part was that we didn’t get much training time,” said MacDougall, who got into the sport in an effort to find something to do once speed skating is over for the season.

“I was in speed skating for several years, but once I got into handball, and it took off, I decided to concentrate on it,” she said.

Antonio, who played goal in soccer, was asked to try out for the Notre Dame team as they were in need of a goalie.

“It was fun,” she said. “Because I played goal in soccer I adapted quickly. You have the same basic movements so it was an easy transition, but then there are several differences as well. In soccer you rely on your hands to make the saves while in handball you use your body.”

Antonio was the starting netminder

ers, whose opening-round series is tied 2-2.

Detroit pushed the defending Eastern Conference champions to seven games a year ago, but could only beat them once in five attempts this time, with Killorn, Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov picking up the offensive slack for Tampa Bay with star Steven Stamkos injured.

“It is always hard losing a game like that. … That kind of goal is frustrating,” Mrazek said. “We had lots of chances to finish it earlier. We just couldn’t score.”

Detroit only scored eight goals in the series, though not because of a lack of opportunities.

The Red Wings finished 1 for 25 on the power play, and their futility was never more evident than Thursday night, when they failed to even get a shot on goal during a 5-on-3 advantage early in the opening period.

The closest they came during that first power-play was Pavel Datsyuk hitting the post. The Lightning was fortunate again late in the period, when Detroit’s Danny Dekeyser also hit the post before the puck glanced off Bishop’s right arm.

Just as frustrating was an inability to solve Bishop in the second period, when the Tampa Bay goalie rejected Riley Sheahan, Darren Helm and Dylan Larkin on breakaways that could have snapped a scoreless tie.

Bishop sopped 14 shots in the second and 11 more in the third, two in the closing seconds with Detroit on its fourth power play of the night. Mrazek wasn’t tested as often but his teammates played a hand in that by limiting the line of Johnson, Kucherov and Killorn to a combined two shots heading into the final period.

Mrazek, who replaced Jimmy Howard after the Red Wings lost the first two games of the series on the road, finished with 23 saves. for the Canadian team, although she’s behind two older players with the provincial junior program.

MacDougall is looked at as a scorer with the high school and provincial teams, but it was tougher at the international level.

“They played a system that put a lot more pressure on the wings to cut off the scoring,” said MacDougall, who believes her time on the speed skating oval was important for her transition to team handball.

“In speed skating you’re out there as an individual, which I found helped me to be mentally tougher when I’m with the team,” she said. “I can push myself that much harder.”

The five-foot-eight MacDougall gives Notre Dame coach Darcy McQuillan a lot of credit for her development, along with the Team Alberta coach.

She will graduate from Notre Dame in June and will attend the University of Alberta next year taking general sciences. She will continue to train with Team Alberta with an eye on the future.

“I would certainly like to make the National senior team and if the opportunity presents itself I would like to play in Europe. The sport is huge over there.”

Antonio will transfer to the U of A and take political science in the fall, so she will also be able to train with the provincial team and also would like to one day play for the Canadian senior team.

The provincial team will compete in the Canadians in Winnipeg in May while the national team will also be involved in an international event in Quebec in August.

Goalie Frederik Andersen picked up his second straight win by making 30 saves and setting a career shutout streak of 91 minutes, 26 seconds.

“It was a great team effort tonight,” Thompson said. “I can’t say enough about Freddie. He stood tall for us all night.”

Nashville’s Mike Fisher scored his first goal of the series.

Nashville lost a 2-0 series lead despite outshooting the Ducks for a second straight game, this time with a 3125 edge in shots.

But the Predators went 0 of 6 with the man advantage and are 1 of 19 on the power play in this series against the NHL’s best penalty killers in the regular season.

DeRozan pushes Raptors past Pacers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Raptors 101 Pacers 85 INDIANAPOLIS — The game was barely a minute old when DeMar DeRozan launched a long jump shot and drew a foul on the play, bringing the Toronto Raptors’ entire bench to its feet in celebration.

DeRozan was back.

The all-star who struggled so mightily in Games 1 and 2, rediscovered his form on Thursday, lifting Toronto to a 101-85 win over the Indiana Pacers for a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven opening-round series.

“Just seeing the ball go through the hoop for him is always a positive,” fellow all-star Kyle Lowry said.

“I’m not too concerned with him shooting shots and missing shots, or making shots. It was just a good sign for us as a team to take that first punch. They hit a three and we come back with an and-one, so it was just a relief for us: OK, we’re good.

“We matched the intensity, we matched the progression of the game.”

Lowry also had 21 points, including four three-pointers, while DeMarre Carroll chipped in with 17 points, and was spectacular in stifling Pacers star Paul George, who had 25 points for Indiana. Cory Joseph had 10 points off the bench.

“I liked our intensity, our approach, our attention to detail on the defensive end,” said coach Dwane Casey.

DeRozan had averaged just 12 points on horrible shooting through the first two games, but he and his teammates insisted it was only a matter of time before he got going.

He scored 12 points in a first-quarter scoring flurry as the Raptors roared out to an early 10-point lead and never looked back. Casey explained afterward they’d adjusted the types of screens DeRozan’s teammates set to help open him up.

“We put in a couple new sets in shootaround,” DeRozan said. “But I came out aggressive, looking for my shot, understanding, picking, choosing where I was going to shoot from, and they went down tonight.”

The Raptors, who have played well on the road all season and are the league-leaders for wins in Indiana going back to 2012, looked completely at ease against a backdrop of gold, courtesy of a T-shirt giveaway at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. They led by as many as 23 points in the first half, and took a 71-59

The onslaught continued in the final 12 minutes, and when Joseph drove to the hoop for a pretty finger roll, it put the Raptors up 83-63. The Pacers pulled to within 16 points, but back-to-back threes by Lowry and Carroll took the wind out of any momentum the Pacers might muster, and Toronto cruised to an easy victory.

Raptors fans who made the trip chanted “Let’s go Raptors!” as the final seconds ticked down, while back in Toronto, the fans that squeezed into Maple Leaf Square to watch the game on the giant screen

outside the Air Canada Centre celebrated with high fives and cheers.

Carroll’s performance was welcome news for the Raptors, who acquired him in the off-season from Atlanta for his defensive intensity. He missed more than half the season with injury, however, including 42 straight games after knee surgery.

“The biggest thing for me was just come in and be physical. Try to play my game,” Carroll said. “Coach told me he would lift the minute restrictions so that was a bit of a relief for me mentally knowing I could play as hard as I could for as long as I could.”

Machado drives in decisive run as Orioles beat Blue Jays

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Orioles 3 Blue Jays 2 BALTIMORE — After a wild first inning, it appeared as if the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles finally found their offensive mojo.

The Blue Jays never added to their early outburst, and Baltimore waited until the latter stages before rallying for a 3-2 victory Thursday night.

Manny Machado drove in two runs, including the tiebreaker in the eighth inning. Rookie Joey Rickard had three hits and scored the decisive run for the Orioles, who left 13 on base and going 3 for 14 with runners in scoring position.

“It’s just how the game is. I mean, the game’s frustrating itself,” Machado said. “We have people scuffling right now. We left a lot of people on base, obviously. It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be like this all year.”

The Blue Jays can relate. The defending AL East champions got all their runs and half their four hits in the first inning before going flat.

“We’re not getting the big hit. It’s nothing more

Local BRIEFS

than that,” manager John Gibbons said. “It’s something that we’re accustomed to around here, but we haven’t had it yet. But it will come.”

Orioles starter Chris Tillman needed 38 pitches to get through the first. He gave up an RBI double to Josh Donaldson and walked Justin Smoak with the bases loaded to fall behind 2-0.

In the bottom half, Machado extended his hitting streak to 14 games — matching his career high — with a run-scoring single. Toronto’s Marco Estrada avoided further damage by working out of a bases-loaded, no-out situation.

The score remained 2-1 until the seventh. After a walk, a hit batter and a single loaded the bases against Pat Venditte, J.J. Hardy tied it with a sacrifice fly off Brett Cecil (0-3).

In the eighth, Rickard singled off Brett Cecil (0-3) with one out and moved up on a passed ball by Russell Martin. Machado then hit an opposite-field fly to right that dropped between two fielders, scoring Rickard with an unearned run.

Darren O’Day (1-0) got three straight outs in the eighth and Zach Britton worked the ninth for his

fourth save.

Home plate umpire Dan Bellino received hard stares after a few of his third-strike calls. Orioles catcher Matt Wieters evidently got a bit too vocal in the fifth inning after his check swing was ruled to be strike three. Bellino ejected Wieters, a ruling that brought manager Buck Showalter from the dugout for a lengthy argument.

“There was a lot of frustration built over the game about the strike zone,” Showalter said.

Estrada struck out nine over five innings. The right-hander allowed one run, six hits and four walks. Tillman gave up two runs and four hits in six innings, walking three and striking out four.

WALK THIS WAY Blue Jays: Jose Bautista drew an eighth-inning walk to extend his streak of games reaching safely to 30, including all 16 this season.

UP NEXT Blue Jays: Aaron Sanchez (1-0, 1.35 ERA) makes his fourth start of the season Friday night in the opener of a three-game series against visiting Oakland.

Ball hawks win Red Deer Women’s Basketball League

Grizzlys forward Kletke commits to RDC Kings After four years with the Olds Grizzlys, Landon Kletke will suit next season for the Red Deer College Kings.

The Trochu-born forward had a 53 point season with 21 goals in 2015-16 in the 49 games he played. In his four years with the Grizzlys he amassed 60 goals and 144 points in 231 games. He also had 597 penalty minutes in his time in Olds.

“I’m more than excited for the opportunity to continue my hockey dream in Red Deer,” said Kletke.

“In the long run the decision came down to wanting to play close to home in front of friends and family.

Red Deer is building a $90-million facility on campus in the next couple of years and I want to be a part of the team that moves in there.”

Grizzlys head coach Dana Lattery said Kletke was a cornerstone of both the tram and the community.

“He came to the program in my second season and he has grown and developed every single season into the great hockey player he is today,” said Lattery.

Flunder named ASDC Central athlete of the month Linebacker for the Notre Dame Cougars and the Central Alberta Prairie Fire, Reiss Flunder has been named the Alberta Sports Development Centre Central Male Athlete of the Month.

He was a member of the Team Alberta Football U16 last year and competed in a major competition at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, TX. Flunder will try out for the U18s this year and hopes he can get a post-secondary football scholarship after he completes high school.

He continues to train and pursue his passion for football at Notre Dame, with the Prairie Fire and with the ASDC-Central.

Veteran receiver Maurice Price has filed retirement papers Maurice Price won’t be catching passes this season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The CFL club confirmed Thursday that Price, 30, has filed retirement papers with the league.

“We are surprised and disappointed to hear of Maurice Price’s decision to retire,” Riders head coach/GM Chris Jones said in a statement. “We were given no indication when we acquired Maurice and negotiated a new contract that he may not continue playing.

“As a team we will continue to move forward with our free agent camps and work through the CFL draft. An opportunity has opened up for another player.”

Arrieta throws 2nd career no-hitter as Cubs beat Reds CINCINNATI — Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs pitched his second no-hitter in a span of 11 regular-season starts, shutting down the Cincinnati Reds in a 16-0 rout Thursday night.

The reigning NL Cy Young winner threw the first no-hitter of the Major League Baseball season.

Arrieta (4-0) struck out six, walked four and allowed only six balls hit out of the infield. He threw 119 pitches, retiring Eugenio Suarez on a routine flyball to right field to end it. He also no-hit the Dodgers 2-0 last Aug. 30, part of one of the best pitching stretches in club history.

The Reds hadn’t been held hitless in a regular-season game since 1971, when Rick Wise did it for Philadelphia at Riverfront Stadium.

Arrieta is the first Cubs pitcher to win his first four starts in a season since Greg Maddux went 5-0 in 2006.

McGregor bucks retirement talk

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Conor McGregor awaits the start of his UFC 196 welterweight mixed martial arts match against Nate Diaz, March 5, 2016, in Las Vegas. McGregor says (in all caps) that he’s not retired from fighting.

The mixed martial arts fighter posted on Facebook Thursday that he’d like to focus on training more and less on grueling promotional demands that come with being a pay-per-view star.

UFC fans, rejoice. Conor McGregor is not retired.

He’s even willing to resume his spot in the main event at UFC 200.

The mixed martial arts superstar is simply fed up with the grueling promotional demands that come with being a pay-per-view star. The 27-year-old fighter known for his over the top personality says “I can not dance for you this time.”

McGregor posted on Facebook Thursday that he needed to focus on himself and not the massive hype that accompanies his megafights.

“I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting,” McGregor said in the nearly 650-word statement also posted to Twitter, instantly drawing thousands of shares, retweets and comments from fans.

“For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations — I AM NOT RETIRED,” McGregor said.

McGregor, at times profane and critical of interviews he saw as pointless, said the “many distractions” led to errors in preparing for his last fight, specifically with cardio and weight.

McGregor has been training for a rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 200 in July. He lost to Diaz in March, ending a 15-fight winning streak in which he surprised many fans by fighting 25 pounds above his usual weight of 145 pounds, where he holds a title belt. The rematch was set to be fought at 170 pounds.

McGregor stirred fans this week with a tweet saying he had decided to retire young. That prompted UFC President Dana White to respond by saying McGregor had been pulled from UFC 200 because of the dispute over promotional appearances. White said McGregor was refusing to travel to Las Vegas for promotions ahead of another UFC card this weekend.

McGregor says he’s still ready to fight at UFC 200.

“I’m doing what I need for me now. It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way,” he said.

“I feel the $400million I have generated for the company in my last three events, all inside 8 months,

Steele tops Texas Open leaderboard when first round goes dark

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — Brendan Steele got his only PGA Tour victory at the Texas Open five years ago. He was chasing a record when the first round of this year’s stop near the Alamo was suspended because of darkness.

Steele was atop the leaderboard at 8 under through 13 holes Thursday when play was stopped. Only half of the field completed the round after play was delayed for 3 ½ hours because of morning rain.

Among those who did finish, Charley Hoffman had a 6-under 66, a stroke ahead of Stuart Appleby and Peter Malnati. Appleby ended his round with five consecutive birdies.

“I can’t figure the last time I probably had two, three birdies in a row.

Five was a great finish,” said Appleby, without a top-10 finish his 10 previous starts this season.

After playing bogey-free Thursday, Steele will return Friday morning to complete his first round at the TPC Oaks Course within reach of the course record of 63 set by Matt Every in 2012 and matched by Martin Laird in 2013.

Steele could match that by going 1 un-

Former Roughriders safety Tyron Brackenridge announces retirement REGINA — Former Saskatchewan safety Tyron Brackenridge announced his retirement Thursday, ending a pro career that included a five-season run with the Roughriders and a Grey Cup title in 2013.

The 31-year-old native of Pasadena, Calif., played in 75 regular-season games with the Riders after joining the team in October 2011. He became a free agent after his release last December.

der his final five holes.

The Texas Open tournament record is a 60, when played at La Cantera.

Bart Bryant shot a 60 in 2004, and Zach Johnson equaled that in 2009.

Defending champion Jimmy Walker opened with a 75. Walker had four rounds under par last year in his hometown event to hold off Jordan Spieth in what was his last PGA Tour victory.

Spieth isn’t in this year’s field, the first time since he turned pro at the end of 2012 that he missed a Texas event.

Steele, who started his round on the back nine, had birdies on his first three holes and four of the first five.

After a 12-foot birdie at No. 18, he made the turn with three consecutive birdies to start the front nine.

But he was among the players with afternoon tee times who will have to finish their first rounds Friday, then turn around in short time to play their second rounds. Every afternoon group Thursday got through at least eight holes, but none finished.

Hoffman’s only bogey came when he missed the fairway at the 17th hole, but he rebounded to finish with an 11-foot birdie putt at No. 18.

“The decision to retire from the game I love is truly bittersweet,” Brackenridge said in a CFL news release.

“I have been blessed to be able to play this game for the past 10 years, including five wonderful years with the Roughriders.

“I’m content with the decision and look forward to what lies ahead.”

Over his CFL career, Brackenridge had 254 defensive tackles, 18 special teams tackles, 10 interceptions and four sacks. He was a CFL all-star in 2013 and 2014.

“On behalf of the Roughriders, I want to congratulate Tyron on a remarkable career,” said Jeremy O’Day, the Riders’ vice-president of football operations and administration. “You could always count on Tyron for his work ethic, intensity, and overall will to win.”

is enough to get me this slight leeway.”

McGregor said UFC denied a request for a decreased promotional push and he wrote he would still be willing to attend a scheduled press conference in New York.

“I did not shut down all media requests. I simply wanted a slight adjustment,” he said.

UFC said President Dana White would not comment until a scheduled press conference Friday in Las Vegas.

McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, tweeted Thursday his fighter “rose again.”

“Ur call now. You are the customers. What do you want? Press conferences or fights? Make some noise because we’re ready to do the damn thing!” he tweeted.

White said this week he was working on a new UFC 200 main event and could keep Diaz on the card. The stacked card already included an interim featherweight championship bout between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar and Miesha Tate defends her bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes.

McGregor, who sits alongside Ronda Rousey as the UFC’s biggest pay-per-view stars, is still the featherweight champion. Aldo and Edgar will meet for the interim belt and the winner was scheduled to get the first shot at a unification fight against McGregor.

McGregor added to his aura when he knocked out Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194 in December.

He now seems primed to return to the cage where he can talk trash to his rivals, not about the fight in front of scores of microphones.

“It is time for the other monkeys to dance,” McGregor said. “I’ve danced us all the way here. Nate’s little mush head looks good up on that stage these days. Stuff him in front of the camera for it.”

UFC fighter Eddie Alvarez wrote on Twitter that McGregor had “good insight on how an empire rises and then falls.”

Alvarez said McGregor’s stand sets a precedent for future stars if UFC caves to his demands.

“Short term gain $$$ Long term disaster,” Alvarez tweeted. “Let’s see what happens.”

Ryu shoots 63 to take Swinging Skirts lead, Henderson eight shots back LPGA TOUR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALY CITY, Calif. — So Yeon Ryu shot a tournament-record 9-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic.

Playing in the first group of the day off the 10th tee, the South Korean player had seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch on the back nine and added two more on the front nine at Lake Merced.

“I was kind of lucky to tee it off really early,” Ryu said. “I had a really fresh green, no wind. Also San Francisco is really cold in the morning, but this morning it was just perfect temperature.

“I think today just everything was just great. My tee shot was great. I only missed one green today. I shot 17 greens. Putting was really good.”

Taiwan’s Candie Kung and Japan’s Haru Nomura were two strokes back at 65. Kung opened her afternoon rounds with bogeys on 10 and 11, then birdied the next two and made seven more in a nine-hole stretch from the 17th to the seventh.

China’s Xi Yu Lin and the Netherlands’ Christel Boeljon shot 67, and two-time defending champion Lydia Ko topped the group at 68. Ko already

has two victories in California this year, winning the Kia Classic and ANA Inspiration — the first major of the year — in consecutive weeks.

“Course is easy, whatever course she’s playing on,” the top-ranked Ko joked about Ryu. “Obviously, everything was going right today. For her to shoot a score like that, that’s really impressive.”

Ryu is winless since the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. She also won the 2011 U.S. Women Open and 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic.

“Every tournament, I really want to win” Ryu said. “I think it’s a bit too early to discuss about the result. We still have three more days.”

Canadian Brooke Henderson also had a 71. The 18-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., has seven straight top-10 finishes.

Third-ranked Lexi Thompson and No. 4 Stacy Lewis each shot 72.

Former Stanford student Michelle Wie shot a 73. Minjee Lee also had a 73. The 19-year-old Australian won the Lotte Championship last week. She also won the U.S. Girls’ Junior four years ago at Lake Merced.

Hall of Famer Juli Inkster opened with a 74 in her home event. The 55-year-old Inkster will be honoured with her own bobblehead by the San Francisco Giants before their game Friday night game against the Miami.

Ha Na Jang withdrew because of illness. The eight-ranked South Korean player has two victories this season.

Purple reign ends POP SUPERSTAR PRINCE DIES AT HIS MINNESOTA HOME AT AGE 57

Prince had special connection to Toronto

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHANHASSEN, Minn. — Prince, one of the most inventive and influential musicians of modern times with hits including Little Red Corvette, Let’s Go Crazy and When Doves Cry, was found dead at his home on Thursday in suburban Minneapolis, according to his publicist. He was 57.

His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, told The Associated Press that the superstar “died at his home this morning at Paisley Park.” The local sheriff said deputies found Prince unresponsive in an elevator late Thursday morning after being summoned to his home, but that first-responders couldn’t revive him.

No details about what may have caused his death have been released.

Prince postponed a concert in Atlanta on April 7, saying he had fallen ill with the flu, and he apologized to fans during a makeup concert last week.

President Barack Obama, for whom Prince was a White House guest last year, said he and his wife “joined millions of fans from around the world” in mourning Prince’s sudden death.

“Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent,” Obama said in a statement. ” ‘A strong spirit transcends rules,’ Prince once said — and nobody’s spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative.”

The dazzlingly talented and charismatic singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist drew upon musicians ranging from James Brown to Jimi Hendrix to the Beatles, creating a gender- and genre-defying blend of rock, funk and soul.

He broke through in the late 1970s with the hits Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? and I Wanna Be Your Lover, and soared over the following decade with such albums as 1999 and Purple Rain. The title song from 1999, his funky and flippant anthem about an oncoming nuclear holocaust, includes one of the most quoted refrains of popular culture: “Tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999.”

The Minneapolis native, born Prince Rogers Nelson, stood just 5 feet, 2 inches — yet he made a powerful visual impact at the dawn of MTV. Prince was a Little Richard for the ’80s, from his wispy moustache and tall pompadour to his colourful and suggestive outfits, the counterpart to the openly erotic lyrics that made him one of the most sexually daring artists of the era.

But his greatest legacy was as a musician, summoning original and compelling sounds at will, whether playing guitar in a flamboyant style that drew on Jimi Hendrix, switching his vocals from a nasally scream to an erotic falsetto, or turning out album after album of stunningly innovative material.

Among his other notable releases: Sign O’ the Times, Graffiti Bridge and The Black Album.

Rarely lacking in confidence, he effortlessly absorbed the music of others and made it sound like Prince, whether the James Brown guitar riff on Kiss or the Beatle-esque, psychedelic pop of Raspberry Beret.

Mick Jagger was among numerous musicians, actors and other public figures praising the artist, tweeting: “Prince’s talent was limitless. He was one of the most unique and talented artists of the last 30 years.” Madonna

Prince’s star adorns the wall at First Avenue as a memorial grew Thursday, April 21, 2016, in Minneapolis, where the pop superstar Prince often performed.

Prince died earlier Thursday at his Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minn. He was 57.

REACTION “Prince, the doves really are crying now.” — Oprah Winfrey “The news of Prince’s sudden and unexpected passing is very difficult to process. He was my creative partner and friend. We shared tremendous times together during and after the making of ‘Purple Rain.’ I know his fans are devastated. I know his music meant so very much to so many people. He was a good man, complicated and diligent, and like men of his calibre, he always demanded from himself and others the very best.” — Purple Rain filmmaker Albert Magnoli “I absolutely have no words at this moment and am in deep shock. This is a devastating loss not just for myself but for all who loved him.” — singer-songwriter Judith Hill “Today, the world lost a creative icon.

Michelle and I join millions of fans from around the world in mourning the sudden death of Prince. Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent.” — President Barack Obama “Prince’s talent was limitless. He was one of the most unique and talented artists of the last 30 years.” — Mick Jagger “Prince was peerless as a musician, performer and songwriter. He was clearly one of the all-time greats, always mesmer-

called him a “true visionary,” while Oprah Winfrey tweeted: “Prince the doves really are crying now. Listening to your music. Remembering you.”

Prince was fiercely protective of his independence, battling his record company over control of his material and even his name. Anxious to get out of his contract with Warner Bros., he identified himself by a key-like symbol with an unpronounceable name.

(Journalists called him “TAFKAP,” or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince).

Prince also once wrote “slave” on his face in protest of not owning his work and famously fought and then depart-

izing, magical and cutting edge. He was one-of-a-kind in every respect. To know Prince personally was to know someone kind and gentle, phenomenally brilliant and intellectually curious, with every bone in his body loving music. The world of music has tragically lost one of its greatest defining members.” — Clive Davis, chief creative officer at Sony Music “He truly is a legend and a hero of mine.” — Celine Dion “Prince is gone. Music has lost a great presence. A world less funky. I don’t want to believe it. — Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon “Sad to hear Prince has passed away.

His iconic music, genius and talent captivated the world. Part of the soundtrack of my life.” — wrestler Steve Austin.

“Rest in peace to a very beautiful soul.

Prince, you were an amazing artist and human being. I wish I had the honour of meeting you.” — Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s daughter “We lost another one . Can’t wait to hear what Prince and Bowie are working on.” — singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw “I’m not quite sure what to do with myself, but I will miss you forever and always.

I love you, my dear kind friend.” — singer Rita Ora

ed Warner, before returning a few years ago.

“What’s happening now is the position that I’ve always wanted to be in,” Prince said in 2014. “I was just trying to get here.”

Prince’s records sold more than 100 million copies. He won seven Grammys and received an Academy Award in 1985 for his music from Purple Rain, the movie in which he starred as a young musician. In 2004, Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which hailed him as a musical and social trailblazer.

TORONTO — Pop superstar Prince, who died Thursday, had a special relationship with Toronto, the city where he once lived.

The notoriously private ’80s icon married Toronto native Manuela Testolini in the earlyto-mid 2000s and settled in the tony Bridle Path neighbourhood.

The pair divorced in July 2006, but the Purple Rain singer apparently never lost his affection for the city.

Among his final public appearances were back-to-back shows at Toronto’s Sony Centre last month, surprise concerts announced just 48 hours earlier.

“I love Toronto,” the singer said in 2004 in Jacksonville, Fla. “It’s cosmopolitan,” he continued. “There’s all sorts of different kinds of people everywhere you go in Toronto, there’s all sorts of great music, great restaurants, great night spots that don’t respond to a lot of American playlists and have playlists which I really dig. It’s a real melting pot in every sense of the word.”

It was during his time in Toronto that Prince recorded his critically acclaimed Musicology. The CD jacket features the diminutive funk master in front of the gleaming Toronto skyline at night, and includes at least one veiled reference to the street where he lived.

At the time, the funk, rock and R&B legend spoke of Canada’s tendency to ignore the American recording industry.

“Musicology is the first record I’ve recorded in Toronto and I can really feel the difference. It has a completely unique sound that came from the total disregard for what’s happening in American music, and for the workings of the American music industry. It doesn’t sound like anything else that’s out there right now,” Prince said.

As news of his death spread, his fans — including R&B star the Weeknd — were wistfully recalling their favourite memories of the artist. The Weeknd tweeted a photo of Prince giving him a fist-bump while presenting the Toronto-native with a trophy at the American Music Awards last November.

“I promise this was the greatest moment of my entire life,” he wrote on Twitter. “I wish I could relive it everyday.”

Toronto fans who attended the recent Sony Centre shows recalled how Prince offered up fresh interpretations of hits culled from his long and varied career, as well as covers.

“With Prince, it was always the greatest night that you’d ever experience,” said Colton Eddy, a radio producer who was at the second show.

“There was literally not a song that he didn’t play that you wanted to hear, and he played until he couldn’t play anymore.”

Eddy said Prince seemed to have “endless energy” and performed with as much gusto as he had the previous three times he’d seen him in concert.

Dancing on the lip of a volcano

Photo by KAYLEIGH KULP/The Washington Post

Getting to the Mirador lookout point, where this photo was taken, was easy compared with the next leg of the author’s journey: the descent down the Santa Maria volcano. The author, her husband and their tour guide, weighed down by two days’ worth of water and other supplies, had to journey 3,000 feet down Santa Maria and then 1,500 feet up Santiaguito, another volcano, before reaching their camping spot.

INSET: The author and her husband, Jay, watch the volcano emit smoke and ash near their campsite.

BY KAYLEIGH KULP ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Santiaguito roared throughout the night — a thunderous pop and a rumble followed by low, deep hissing every hour or so.

Our guide, Carlos, rose from his snoring slumber every time, opening the flap of the tent to watch the volcano spit lava, smoke and ash.

My husband, Jay, and I were lying next to Carlos, just 400 yards away from one of the most active volcanoes in the world. At times clouds drifted in, making its fits of rage audible but not visible.

The three of us did not leave the campsite during the dark night for fear of being hit by flying rocks or tripping over loose ones on the ground. The few belongings we’d brought — a change of clothes, water, toilet paper — sat in backpacks next to us, where they were protected from the healthy layer of ash coating the world outside the tent.

We’d booked this overnight hike with Monte Verde Tours, an outfitter based in Quetzaltenango, as part of a 10-day adventure in Guatemala.

Pre-trip research had signaled that this would be the kind of off-the-beaten-path experience we sought: Monte Verde offered just one trip every few months. Hardly anything had been written about it. There were no waivers to sign.

3

We began at a trailhead just outside Quetzaltenango (also known by its indigenous name, Xela), at more than 7,000 feet above sea level. It was a twohour, relatively easy walk to the Mirador viewing point, where we watched the volcano from afar while free-range cows scrounged for grass and greedily approached our snacks. Jay and I, spry at 8 a.m., had strutted along confidently: “We could do this all day!”

Carlos chuckled, but we didn’t think anything of it.

It wasn’t until we started the steep descent down Santa Maria — one of a series of volcanoes in the Sierra Madre mountain range across a deep valley from Santiaguito — that we began to fully appreciate the difficulty of the trek. It would be just less than nine

miles to our camping spot, and we’d be going 3,000 feet down Santa Maria and then 1,500 feet up Santiaguito in conditions that required climbing, sliding and shimmying.

Like Santiaguito, Santa Maria is still active, though rarely. Its 1902 eruption was one of the century’s most explosive, after being dormant at least 500 years. We tried not to think about that as we teetered beneath our packs.

(Two days’ worth of water is pretty heavy.)

Carlos wielded his machete like a ninja, cutting through the thick shrubbery that engulfed our path and enveloped our feet. There are no switchbacks or trails cut to make it easier for tourists. His long, black hair swayed with his motions, kept out of his face

by a rolled bandanna.

When it came time to carefully navigate slippery volcanic rock chutes, Carlos helped by putting my pack on his head (in addition to carrying his own on his back). His small frame leaped ahead of us with ease, while Jay and I opted to crab-crawl down on our behinds. Just out of curiosity, I asked Carlos whether he had a firstaid kit or cell service. “Not really,” he said.

Reaching the bottom of Santa Maria seemed like a feat. Feeling victorious, we took big swigs of water, a snack break and smiley photos. Fog sat low in the valley, a moonlike bed of sharp, craggy rocks. I stepped carefully around them, my pack swaying with every step. We wore bandannas over our mouths so we didn’t inhale the fine dust blowing in the warm wind.

Carlos told us about himself: He and his partner had a daughter. Before learning English and becoming a guide, he’d worked in a tire factory, which he said paid very little by comparison and offered no advancement. I got the impression that he truly enjoyed making this trek, even more than we did. He wanted to learn more English slang and idioms and made us explain whenever we said something such as “It’s a wrap.”

STORIES FROM PAGE C1

IF YOU GO

VOLCANO: The only way to go is up Carlos admired our hiking shoes and the W.L. Weller bourbon we’d brought from home in a flask. (Hey, we would deserve a liquid reward at the end of this day.)

We were still only little more than halfway to our campsite, and it was all uphill from here.

Two hours later, we were so tired we felt like quitting, but couldn’t. The only way out was to hike back down and up again or get a helicopter, and neither was an option. Santiaguito has several plateaus on the way up, each resembling a new climate. The first plateau was dewy with tropical greenery and plants; another was dusty and desolate. Camping would be possible on any one of them. Feeling nauseated from altitude and fatigue, Jay wanted to stop at the first, but we coached each other and pressed on, knowing that what we’d come for was within reach. Finally, we made it to our goal, the plateau campsite closest to the hissing, smoking crater.

Pasta cooked on a hot plate with ketchup for sauce never tasted so good as it did when the three of us ate huddled in our tent that evening. Sunrise came early after a restless night, but we felt surprisingly refreshed. By now, Carlos seemed like an old friend; I suppose sleeping next to a stranger a short distance from an active volcano could make anyone feel closer. He said we should treat this vantage point with respect and asked us to make a wish.

Then he lit a candle, climbed with it to the top of a large rock and knelt to pray, while Jay and I collected our thoughts and prepared our minds for the trek back down.

We’d been able to hoist ourselves

View of the valley from one of Santiaguito’s plateaus. up large, stable rocks on the way up Santiaguito, but coming down required balancing our weight while sometimes carefully placing our feet at a 90-degree angle into footholds not easily seen. Carlos descended each part first, grabbing our packs so we could climb down more safely.

We knew from the previous day’s experience that the second, uphill leg of our return hike would be much more exhausting. By the time we’d gotten back up Santa Maria’s volcanic chutes and into the jungle paths, each leg felt as if it were attached to a cinder block.

I began chanting to myself: “Strength, motivation, clarity. Strength, motivation, clarity.� Jay encouraged and pushed me. We had to take more rests than on the first leg, and it became clear we weren’t going to make our scheduled group shuttle to San Marcos La Laguna on Lake Atitlan, our next stop.

Meanwhile, Carlos was hopping ahead like a mountain goat. He told us he once led a Dutch family on this journey for a moonlight viewing of Santiaguito. They made the whole trip in half the time we did, even in the dark, and didn’t have to stay overnight. “The most important thing is to

stay happy on the mountain,� Carlos said. We knew why: If you’re not happy, you’ll barely make it. We began to change our attitude, congratulating ourselves each time we made it to a landmark we recognized. We practically screamed with joy when we saw those snack-mooching cows, even though we were still had an almosttwo-hour (flat) walk until the end.

Monte Verde’s owner, Josh, met us at the trailhead with several liters of water, which we had run out of hours earlier. He also bought us a couple of beers at a market near the trailhead and arranged for Carlos to drive us to Lake Atitlan. Carlos stopped in town, where his daughter and her mother hopped in the front seat of the van with him. They laughed and talked as we stopped for soda and ice cream at a roadside stand along the way.

I lay in my seat all the way back, utterly exhausted, and grabbed Jay’s hand. We laughed, too. We couldn’t believe what we had just done. But we knew that when you take one step at a time, you eventually come out on top.

FASHION FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2016

Brides turning to second-hand market

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — When Rachael Lipetz started planning a budget wedding, the bride-to-be decided to cut costs in a non-traditional way — by focusing on something old.

The Vancouver bride’s $5,000 budget didn’t compare with the $30,717 that a 2015 Wedding Bells magazine survey found most brides expect to spend on their big day.

So Lipetz searched doggedly for second-hand wedding decor, a trend some industry professionals say has grown as wedding costs soar ever skyward.

She spent countless hours scouring Craigslist for deals, persistently emailing sellers with low-ball offers in hopes of finding cheap gems.

“I ended up becoming a total Craigslist troll,” she says.

The signs, vintage napkins and cutlery at her lakeside celebration in September 2014 all came from a couple who had gotten married in a field months before. So did some of the pennant banners, but those, Lipetz says, had already been bought and sold twice previously.

“Basically, nothing at our wedding was new,” she says.

Lipetz estimates that she saved about 50 per cent on decor by buying second-hand, and she and her husband liked the environmentally friendly aspect of using recycled goods.

“It was exactly what I wanted,” she says. “I’m not a white wedding, magnolia type of person.”

When the big day was over, Lipetz posted an ad of her own for the “ultimate rustic wedding package.”

She says about two-thirds of the items she had for sale were gone within two weeks.

High wedding costs have spurred couples not only to seek deals, but to resell whatever they can when their celebration is over, says Geneve McNally, founder of Bridal Swap, which she describes as a “fancy flea market” for weddings.

The annual event sees newlyweds set up booths to sell their wares and brides-to-be clamber for deals on everything from designer dresses to painted mason jars.

“Everyone loves the thrill of the hunt and finding some gem for cheaper,” says McNally, a founding partner of Vancouver-based wedding planning company DreamGroup productions.

Bridal Swap has grown dramatically since the first event in 2011, she says, and this year’s Vancouver market hosted more than 1,000 thrifty brides.

Lindsay Recknell says she’s also seen “huge growth” in the three years since she created a website where brides sell their gently used wedding goods.

People attend the Original Bridal Swap at the Croatian Cultural Centre in Vancouver, B.C., on April 3.

The Calgary-based entrepreneur says between 800 and 1,300 people visit Wedding Recycle every day from all over North America, buying and selling centrepieces, accessories and more.

Part of the site’s popularity comes from brides posting pictures from their own weddings, Recknell says, because the photos give potential purchasers an idea of how their vision can come together.

Wedding Recycle also gives people a chance to connect with others who have experienced the ups and downs of wedding planning.

“There’s something to be said about buying from someone who has gone through the same experience that you are,” Recknell says. “You’re buying from newlyweds who’ve just had their wedding, who’ve just felt the stress and the agony and the strain on their pocketbook.”

Many second-hand wedding purveyors include a philanthropic element, too.

Bridal Swap gives women a chance to donate

the proceeds from their dress to a charity of the purchaser’s choice, and Wedding Recycle hosts the Can’t Buy Me Love project, which connects newlyweds who want to donate decor and apparel with couples who can’t afford luxurious weddings.

The project was inspired by a woman named Marisa Wiens, Recknell says, who started a Facebook group in 2013 encouraging brides to donate their gowns after a bridal store in New Westminster, B.C., burned down.

Through Recknell’s website, Wiens connected with a woman in Calgary who didn’t have the money to buy a brand-new gown.

Months later, Wiens says she received photos of the woman wearing her old dress on her wedding day.

“I thought it was pretty awesome,” she says of the experience.

“To me, that’s what life’s about — it’s about giving.”

Wu, Constantine among winners at Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Jason Wu has added to his lengthy list of accolades with a win at the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards.

The award-winning New York-based designer was named international Canadian designer of the year at the CAFA gala in Toronto on last Friday.

The award recognizes a designer that has achieved success abroad and brought attention to Canadian talent on the world stage.

The Taiwanese-born Wu moved when he was nine to Vancouver, where he learned how to sew, draft patterns and sketch in fashion proportions by using dolls as mannequins.

Among Wu’s high-profile clients is Michelle Obama. The wife of U.S. President Barack Obama has worn creations by the designer throughout her husband’s presidency, including luxurious gowns for both inaugurations.

She wore a strapless gown designed by Wu during the White House state dinner held in honour of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau last month.

Gregoire Trudeau was among the famous faces in attendance at the CAFAs, which recognize homegrown talent within the arts and fashion community.

In a first-time partnership, CAFA is teaming up with the Toronto Maple Leafs on a program that will seek out two fashion designers to create men’s and women’s capsule collections for the 2017-18 NHL season.

This year’s gala was held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, and was hosted by actress Kim Cattrall of Sex and the City fame, who currently stars on the Toronto-shot series “Sensitive Skin.”

Toronto-based label Greta Constantine — which recently marked its 10th anniversary — was recognized with womenswear designer of the year honours for duo Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen

Wong.

Vancouver-based label Wings + Horns was named menswear designer of the year.

Reigning Mercedes-Benz Start Up winner UNTTLD was also victorious at the CAFAs. The Montreal-based label helmed by Jose Manuel St-Jacques and Simon Belanger was recognized with the emerging talent in fashion design award.

Fellow Montreal-based designer Lauren Klassen took home the prize for emerging talent in accessory design.

Ottawa-born twins Byron and Dexter Peart were winners once again in the accessory designer of the year honours for their brand WANT Les Essentiels.

The label won the inaugural CAFA in the same category in 2014.

Montreal-based menswear brand Frank & Oak were recognized with the fashion innovation award, given to a company being innovative in how people experience, consume or interact with fashion through technology.

Ryerson University graduate Hamish Thwaites was honoured with the fashion design student award.

Annie Horth, longtime stylist of Canadian pop superstar Celine Dion, received stylist of the year honours.

Ottawa-raised Herieth Paul was named model of the year, while Adam Butcher received the fresh

face award.

Toronto-based designer Laura Siegel was honoured with the fashion impact award, which recognizes a homegrown designer or brand that has made a significant social or philanthropic impact. Siegel’s ready-to-wear womenswear label has collaborated with artisans in rural villages around the world to help sustain craft.

The Coveteur received fashion blogger of the year honours. The homegrown blog features photographic profiles of the stylish private spaces of notable names.

Photographer Gabor Jurina was named image maker of the year.

Elle Macpherson was also recognized with the vanguard award. The Australian model and fashion mogul was honoured for contributions to the industry throughout her lengthy career, including the launch of a lingerie label and a global wellness company.

Longtime Canadian designer Wayne Clark was recognized with an outstanding achievement award.

OLDS COLLEGE GALA

Olds College welcomed over 400 friends and supporters to the annual black-tie ‘Growing the Legacy’ Gala on Thursday, April 7

The Ralph Klein Centre was filled with over 400 supporters, donors, public figures and partners who came together to celebrate the courage, competence, action and determination of Olds College students, as the College hosted its 14th annual ‘Growing the Legacy’ Gala, on Thursday, April 7. Student Ambassadors Josiah Schut and Mackenzie Argent served as Masters of Ceremonies over a program that celebrated partnerships, bestowed awards, and delivered goosebumps.

Keynote speaker Arlene Dickinson inspired and captivated the crowd as she shared her journey to becoming one of Canada’s leading entrepreneurs - growing up as an immigrant to Canada, her time on Dragon’s Den and her numerous trips to Afghanistan to visit Canadian soldiers – all of which have taught her lessons about leadership and courage. The crowd responded to Arlene’s inspirational message with a standing ovation.

Long-time Olds College partner and donor Ben Meyer, President of Shunda Consulting and Construction Management Ltd. and College Housing (Olds) Co. (CHOC) was officially recognized as the 2016 Partner of the Year. Meyer has a long working relationship with Olds College, most recently on the design, construction and management of Centennial Village, the new Olds College student housing and conference facility.

To round out the program, the theme of the evening, “BEYOND” was examined by Tanya McDonald, Acting Vice President of Advancement. The message was clear; in order to continue to graduate leaders with a world class education, modernizing College facilities and programs is critical. Olds College is embarking on a multi-year endeavor. This ambitious transformational plan will enhance the quality of learning spaces and promote student success. BEYOND is a powerful word, which is used to reinforce the College’s commitment to future-proofing the organization, academic programs, and how the College delivers education to students. McDonald explained that Olds College can only achieve the mission through the financial support of its many donors, alumni, advisors, supporters and partners.

HEALTH FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2016

Saving your hearing DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN YOU DOCS Rates of hearing loss doubled in America between 2000 and 2015. So if you find yourself cranking up the TV volume or asking friends and family to SPEAK UP, you’re not alone. Half of all adults over age 50 have some hearing loss and, according to the National Institutes of Health, for 25 percent of them, it’s disabling.

Yet two out of three don’t realize that everyday habits, such as using earbuds to listen to music at top volume, can steal your hearing before you know it.

Hearing loss isn’t just inconvenient; it can boost your risk for falls and depression, isolate you from friends and family, and even boost your risk for dementia.

These research-proven steps can help you protect your precious sense of tuning into the world and find solutions if you’re experiencing hearing loss: Upgrade your earbuds. Harvard researchers warn that one-third of adults who use portable music devices turn the volume up to levels that damage fragile sound-sensing cells. Switching to noise-canceling headphones or earbuds with rubber tips can help, because they quiet background noise so you won’t have to crank up your music so loud. It’s also smart to practice the 60-60 rule: No more than 60 percent volume (50 percent is even better) for no more than 60 minutes a day. And give your ears frequent breaks.

Keep earplugs in your backpack, purse, car glove box or console, and in your airplane carry-on. Exposure to sounds louder than 70-85 decibels — like yard equipment (as loud as 99 decibels), rock concerts (120 decibels), sports events (115 decibels) and even airplane cabins (86 decibels) — harms the tiny

hairs in your inner ear that convert sound waves into electrical signals. Keep foam earplugs on hand to block the noise. (We do — Dr. Mike pops his in on airplanes before takeoff.)

Keep blood pressure and blood sugar at healthy levels. Diabetes doubles your risk for hearing problems; prediabetes increases it by 30 percent. The connection could be elevated blood glucose-related damage to the inner ear. Meanwhile, high blood pressure seems to accelerate age-related hearing loss by restricting blood flow to your inner ear and to brain regions involved with hearing.

Healthy weight matters. Being overweight or obese can increase odds for hearing loss by 17 to 25 percent, according to a 2013 study of more than 68,000 women. Extra pounds and high-calorie foods may harm hearing by boosting inflammation and restricting the flow of blood and oxygen to delicate ear structures. Include exercise in your weight-management plan.

Women in the study who logged two or more hours of walking per week lowered their risk of hearing loss by 15 percent.

Get a hearing test. Talk to your doc if you or a loved one notices that your hearing’s not what it used to be. She can look for fixable problems and refer you to a hearing specialist if necessary. For mild hearing loss, assistive devices and smartphone apps may be all you need to better hear conversations, concerts and your favorite shows.

Take care of fixable causes. Impacted earwax deep in your inner ear can muffle hearing. So can fluid buildup from an ear infection or from taking any of more than 100 different prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including ibuprofen, “loop” diuretics for high blood pressure, and some antibiotics. Your doc can help correct these problems.

Say “yes” to hearing aids. Do what you can to get them. Tuning back into the sounds of the world will keep you connected with others, active and smarter. There are more options (including lower-priced models) than ever before, so you’re bound to find

some that fit your budget and feel comfortable.

Hearing aid users wait 10 years, on average, before getting this important equipment. Why you shouldn’t: Research suggests that tuning back into the sounds of the world can reduce depression and worry, increase social activity (hey, it’s easier to play bridge when you can hear your partner!) and even sharpen thinking skills.

Better preemie pain relief sought OAK LAWN, Ill. — It happens every day to the most vulnerable infants in hospital intensive care units: fragile babies born way too soon are poked, prodded and jabbed as part of medical care meant to help them survive — and it can be heart-wrenching to watch.

Heel sticks for blood tests, inserting IV tubes, adjusting breathing machines — even the gentlest jostling to remove a bandage from translucent skin can cause kittenlike whimpers and tiny arms and legs to suddenly jerk. Sometimes there’s no sound at all — just a dip on the heart rate monitor.

It used to be thought that these infants were too young to feel pain. But even now, experts say, pain relief for newborns and especially preemies is often inadequate, despite evidence that low-tech comforting methods and medication can both be effective.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has new advice — and an admonishment.

Pain in newborns “continues to be inconsistently assessed and inadequately managed,” the academy says. Remedies “are currently underused for routine minor yet painful procedures.”

Preventing and reducing pain, particularly in preemies, is important because of the potential consequences for infant development, the academy said in a policy issued in February.

Research suggests repeated bouts of pain leave infants prone to potential long-term ill effects including changes in nerve structures and brain development, and hypersensitivity to touch and stress — and it’s the smallest and sickest babies who experience the greatest number of painful procedures.

Pain assessment can be a significant challenge in preemies, said newborn specialist Erin Keels, the policy’s lead author and a nurse at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Preemie’s pain cues aren’t always obvious. They often have multiple health problems that need attention, and in busy intensive care units, pain relief for every day minor procedures can sometimes get overlooked, she said.

The new guidance was prompted in part by recent research showing benefits from alternatives to medication, Keels said. These include sugar-dipped pacifiers, tight swaddling and skin-to-skin contact with moms and dads. Newer ways to measure infant pain also are being tested, including measuring brain waves and electrical impulses in the skin.

Pain management during surgery and other major procedures typically requires medication, often opioids including morphine. Short-term side effects of these drugs may include a slowed heart rate, low blood pressure, and drug dependence. Some small studies have linked use of these drugs in extremely premature babies with slowed weight gain, smaller head size and behaviour troubles later in childhood, but research on appropriate doses and potential long-term effects “is woefully lacking,” the academy says. It urges more research on using these drugs and other medications in infants.

“While we want to manage pain appropriately, we also have to pay attention to not going too far in the other extreme,” said Dr. William MacKendrick,

medical director of the infant special care unit at NorthShore Evanston Hospital in Evanston, Illinois.

He was not involved in the policy.

U.S. hospitals are required to assess patients’ pain in order to be accredited, and it’s an issue newborn specialists are increasingly paying attention to.

At Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, tiny twins Evelyn and Olivia Niedermeyer are helping find answers.

The babies were born more than a month early, in January, weighing less than 3 pounds. They’re enrolled in a study comparing infants’ reactions to two different tiny devices used to detect retinopathy, an eye disease that can cause blindness in very premature babies.

‘The people own that race’ WILLA WANKE THRILLED ABOUT BOSTON MARATHON EXPERIENCE There’s no other race like it.

Marathoner Willa Wanke is still coming down from her runner’s high after her first Boston Marathon on Monday.

The sub-3:30 marathoner said she wanted to enjoy every step of the way.

And she sure did.

Taking her camera, Wanke stopped to take selfies and high-fived onlookers along the way. She chatted with other runners and stopped at every water station to thank volunteers.

“Everybody said to enjoy it,” said Wanke. “I set out for my first Boston Marathon to have an experience and not race it.”

Wanke, 50, who has been running for about 20 years has qualified for Boston several times.

“The people own that race,” she said.

“I’ve never felt as encouraged, admired or had such a warm welcome as there. You are a runner.”

Wanke stayed at a hostel where she relished in story after story from run-

CRYSTAL RHYNO RUNNING WITH RHYNO ners from all over the world.

To qualify for the iconic race, Wanke needed to run a four-hour marathon. Last year she qualified at the Calgary Marathon. She re-qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon with her 3:46:44 time at this year’s race.

Next year the vice-principal of Jessie Duncan Elementary School in Penhold will head back to Boston and “do it properly.”

Wanke said all the hard work to qualify for Boston is worth it. She said Boston is a runner’s mecca where everyone is treated like an elite athlete.

The after party at Fenway Park with the other runners was amazing, she said.

“The best part was the atmosphere,” said Wanke.

“It was so happy. Everybody was really happy and talking to everyone. It was a community feeling.”

People have said to her that Boston is where you do your victory lap after the months of training.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” said Wanke.

“I have been injured for a lot of the winter so I haven’t done a long run since October. I thought, ‘I am going,’ I don’t care. It was a big year. It was the 50th anniversary of the first female to run it. ” For those looking to qualify for Boston, Wanke suggests runners sign up for a flat course such as the Okanagan Marathon in Kelowna or the California International Marathon.

Wanke credits her determination and success to her running friends in Red Deer.

“Part of why I was there was the runners that I run with it,” said Wanke.

“It’s a community. The people you run with help everybody get there.”

Also at Boston this year were Cen-

tral Alberta runners Chris Capicio, 33, of Red Deer, who ran 3:32:27 and Patrick Hewitt, 46, of Penhold with a 3:21:13 marathon time.

SAVE THE DATE There’s still time to sign up for Only Women’s Fitness Fun Run on May 7 at River Bend Golf and Recreation area.

Partial proceeds from the event will go to Central Alberta’s Women’s Outreach, an agency devoted to supporting women affected by family violence.

Distances include 10K, 5K, 3K and 1k.

All events will be chip timed. There’s also a 500-metre Little Ladies race and a 100-metre Diaper Dash For more information visit www. womensfunrun.com Find Running with Rhyno on Facebook and @CrystalRhyno on Twitter and Instagram.

Elevating the ‘motivation molecule’ FITNESS FX fluctuate.

Look around you, we all see the world as it’s changing before our eyes.

People are increasingly impatient, ever frustrated, less ambitious, and obesity continues to arise.

Obviously this isn’t all related to Dopamine but I think you get my point.

There’s validation that people are less happy today then generations before and if you can see that in your own life understanding the role of Dopamine may give you the plan you need to get your body to help you change habits and accomplish some of those things you’ve been thinking about for far too long.

We’ll Put A

Smile

How-to elevate Dopamine naturally:

1) This is the number one reason (of a long list) of why everyone needs to exercise. You don’t have to go to the gym for hours, you don’t have to lift weights if you don’t want to, or run, or swim, etc.

All you have to do is get moving and stay moving for 20-30 minutes at an elevated heart rate.

Depending on your fitness level just when it happens will be slightly different for everyone, but pay attention because you will feel it. T he problems of the day will feel a little less intense, you will look in the mirror and think you suddenly look a little better, your sense of focus, confidence and determination will elevate.

And if you’re like me you will begin thinking about all those things you want to do and suddenly feel as though you just might be able to pull it off!

2) Add Tyrosine rich foods to your diet. Tyrosine is an amino acid that is a base building block for Dopamine, consuming Tyrosine rich foods may help with boosting Dopamine production to replenish stores.

pressed levels of Dopamine and in our high stress society it’s only going to get worse.

Look at the prescription rates for anti-depressants (which by the way provide reuptake of dopamine and its precursors so you can see how important this is.)

You know what to do: eat whole and unprocessed foods, drink plenty of water, get 7-8 hours of sleep each night, but in the case of giving you a little Dopamine boost (and many other benefits) I just can’t say enough about encouraging you to exercise a little more!

3) Supplementation.

There are a few supplements that can perform a variety of functions when it comes to Dopamine. Some increase production, others improve its receptor uptake, others regulate the ability of certain nutrients to enter and exit the brain making Dopamine release more favourable.

A few supplements to consider and explore are: Curcumin (found in the spice Tumeric), Ginkgo Biloba, L-Theanine (one of my personal favourites in stressful situations,) Phosphatidylserine.

We all know what it’s like to feel that emotional high that comes with a sense of achievement.

Or I bet everyone can remember those moments of youthful bliss when you were lost in infatuation; you might even smile and feel a trickle of that same feeling as you watch your teenager text and talk late into the night.

There’s an important physiological mechanism at work.

All of our feelings of happiness, accomplishment, inspirations, fascination, love and so one come as a result of a physiological trigger in our brain to release Dopamine.

Dopamine goes to work stimulating our pleasure centres, but it’s more than that, it improves focus, concentration, it sets the stage for better physical performance, and greatly boosts our confidence.

Not hard to see why in todays world we have such a need for Dopamine.

When we are stressed, worried, afraid, or fatigued dopamine release is low; so we go looking for it. Stimulants, sugar, alcohol, “comfort foods,” even lust as in the old adage “sex, drugs and rock and roll” can all, very temporarily, increase dopamine levels.

It’s the rapid and temporary nature of these methods of increasing dopamine that result in the mechanism for addiction.

It’s pretty safe to say that most of us have an addiction to dopamine that will be visible in our habits.

As we continually and rapidly stimulate dopamine production chasing our need for the euphoria and pleasure that comes with we hamper our body’s ability to keep up with the demand.

Production has a limit, the receptors that receive and make use of Dopamine have a limit to how often they can activate.

It gets harder and harder to achieve that same feeling in time. This leads to lethargy, a lack of interest in things, a decreased level of ambition, and ultimately depression.

As we reach this state other elements of physiology begin to break down. Our adrenals become fatigued, our thyroid function may begin to

Trudeau carries ‘D’ grade to UN CLIMATE CHANGE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be dragging plenty of baggage to the United Nations on Friday when he joins some 150 other countries in signing the Paris climate accord.

A new report from the Conference Board of Canada released Thursday ranks Canada 14th among 16 peer countries when it comes to environmental performance, with only the United States and Australia doing worse.

And the parliamentary budget office has crunched the national numbers to find that Canada’s emissions of greenhouses gases currently are on track to increase through 2030, with a cost of between one and three per cent of gross domestic product to ratchet emissions down to our existing international commitment.

“We have lots of work to do,” Trudeau acknowledged under questioning Thursday from students at New York University.

But that work does not include pulling the plug on expanding Canadian oil production or future pipelines, Trudeau told the students after fielding a question about “still putting money into dirty oil sands.”

Trudeau said he supported the since-rejected Keystone XL oil pipeline from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast and he continues to favour oiland-gas-driven economic growth on the path to a low-carbon future.

“Do I agree that in the future we’re going to have to get off fossil fuels? Absolutely,” said the prime minister. “Is that future tomorrow? No it’s not.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spars with professional boxer Yuri Foreman at the Gleason’s Boxing Gym in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday. Trudeau was there to train with kids from the “Give A Kid A Dream” program that works to provide mentorship to disadvantaged youths through the sport of boxing.

In Canada’s here and now, the Conference Board awarded the country a “D” grade based on nine indicators covering climate change, air pollution, and freshwater management.

With 20.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emitted per capita every year, Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are among the highest of its peers, said the report.

Most of Canada’s provinces ranked poorly in the agency assessment, with only Ontario earning a “B” grade. Quebec, British Columbia, and P.E.I. were given a “C” grade, Manitoba scored a “D” and Saskatchewan, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were rated “D-mi-

nus.”

The Conference Board said some of Canada’s poor grades can be explained by a large land mass, cold climate and a resource-intensive economy, but the results suggest there is a long way to go towards improving environmental performance.

However, Canada did receive an “A” rating for low-emitting electricity generation. Nearly 80 per cent of Canada’s electricity is generated from sources such as hydro and nuclear power, ranking Canada behind only Norway, Switzerland, France and Sweden.

“Protecting the environment from damage is not a problem for tomorrow

but a challenge for today,” said Conference Board vice-president Louis Theriault.

The parliament budget office report released Thursday is somewhat more sparing of government efforts.

It finds Canada’s emissions trend, while rising, isn’t on as fast an upward track as Environment Canada’s own assessment, mainly because the PBO uses slightly lower economic growth projections to 2030.

Canada has committed internationally to cut emissions 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, which the PBO estimates will require cutting 208 million tonnes of carbon dioxide or its equivalents.

The cost will be around $100 per tonne, says the report, but those costs can be carried in a growing economy without major economic impacts on Canadian households.

“One lesson is that faster growth is beneficial, even if it leads to a higher baseline level of emissions. This is because incomes will also be higher to deal with any increased need for abatement,” said the PBO report.

In that respect, the budget office bolstered Trudeau’s contention that oil and gas wealth will help Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

As Trudeau told the New York University students: “We’re very much better off doing that from a position of having a capacity to invest and research than doing it by firelight in a cave 100 years from now, when we’ve reached a collapse.”

But Conservative environment critic Ed Fast said the Liberal government isn’t being transparent about the true price of meeting the 2030 emissions target.

“The Liberals are misleading Canadians by saying everything is a winwin, while not accounting for the true economic costs,” said Fast.

Transferring the family cottage WEALTH WATCH DEREK FUCHS Derek, we’ve had a family cabin for many years – how can we transfer ownership to our children?

Handing down a vacation property that has been in the family for years can be an emotional and financial challenge. Likely you’ve had many memories created together here and the last thing most people want is to permanently let go. Beyond the emotional aspect of passing on the cabin, you need to consider some hard aspects such as taxation and other costs.

The first question to answer is to whom the cabin should go to. Often the best solution is to not leave the cabin equally to all children. This may be due to the fact that not all children have the same level of interest in the cabin; this may be due to various factors including location and costs to maintain it. It’s often best to have a family discussion to determine the various points of view. In some cases, children whom you assumed would want to take over ownership are either not financially able, or are not interested in the responsibility. An open conversation should help clear up any misconceptions.

Once you determine who will be getting the cabin, you need to consider if this will somehow create an imbalance in the overall estate. If one beneficiary is getting the cabin, you should consid-

S&P / TSX 13,881.20 -30.09

▼

TSX:V 658.38 +4.12

er how you may equalize the remaining assets to ensure a fair transfer.

Assuming the cabin is not your principal residence there likely will be capital gains tax payable when it is sold or transferred to the next generation. Capital gains tax applies to the difference between the adjusted cost base (ACB) of the property and its fair market value at the time of transfer/sale. The ACB is typically the purchase price of the cabin plus any capital improvements that you’ve made.

You may want to speak with a tax expert to confirm what tax may be applicable.

Some individuals choose to maintain a permanent form of life insurance on the property. This may be a cost-effective way to pay any of the tax owing on the cabin once you pass away.

Life insurance proceeds are received tax free so this may solve the issue of any costs. In other cases, you may use this life insurance policy to pay the other children who are not taking ownership of the cabin.

The life insurance payout could therefore help with equalizing the estate.

You may even ask that your children pay the premiums on the policy since they will ultimately be the ones benefiting from the final payout. You would need to have a discussion with a qualified insurance advisor to discuss these ideas further.

There may be a solution where you could transfer the property into an inter vivos trust. While beyond the scope of this article, a trust can help ensure the cottage is enjoyed by your children

and ultimately passes to your grandchildren. It can also offer some protection against future creditors or matrimonial claims.

It may be best to consider a trust when the capital gain on the property is small since the tax may be triggered, however all future gains would be the responsibility of the future generation.

Trust arrangements can be complex and it’s important to obtain proper advice before undertaking this step.

Finally, you could make the property “joint” with your children but this strategy does have some pitfalls.

First, the transfer will typically trigger capital gains and create a tax bill.

Second, you may be exposing the property to creditor or matrimonial claims that may be brought against any of the owners. While these circumstances cannot be predicted, some planning with a professional today should help you avoid the devastating consequences.

Your family cabin can be a source of great enjoyment and may hold a lifetime of happy memories. Taking the time to create an effective transfer plan may help prevent conflicts down the road and provide you with invaluable peace of mind.

Alberta sets out details of modernized conventional oil and gas royalties CALGARY — The Alberta government has released details of its new royalty regime, which it says bring clarity and certainty to conventional oil and gas drilling.

The province has simplified the system with a single structure for crude oil, gas and liquids that takes into account the growth of unconventional wells that use horizontal drilling and fracking. Under the new regime, companies will pay a five per cent flat rate royalty until costs are recovered, after which royalty rates will range between five and 40 per cent depending on energy prices. Total costs of the vertical and horizontal drilling will be tracked on a cost allowance index that rewards producers who are efficient.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers welcomed the modernized royalty regime but said more work needs to be done to help industry, especially on pipeline access.

The new royalty regime, which closely follows recommendations of the province’s royalty review advisory panel, will apply to wells drilled starting in 2017.

The S&P/TSX composite index fell 30.09 points to 13,881.20 as the June contract for North American benchmark crude slid $1 to US$43.18 a barrel. Oil had closed at a fivemonth high on Wednesday on positive data about U.S. crude inventories.

The majority of sectors on the TSX were lower, with metals, consumer staples and real estate being the heaviest decliners. Gains in gold and materials stocks helped offset some of those losses.

The decline in crude also weighed on the Canadian dollar, with the oil-sensitive loonie losing almost half a cent, falling 0.48 of a U.S. cent to 78.57 cents US. “The rally in oil prices has been a key catalyst for the pushing the loonie higher, but my view is that the loonie is likely to remain range-bound in the mid70 (U.S. cent range), at least for a little while longer,” said Craig Fehr, a Canadian markets strategist at Edward Jones in St. Louis.

“We could see a pullback in oil prices in the near term and that will obviously put downward pressure on the Canadian dollar.”

Wall Street markets also turned lower, as the Dow Jones industrial average registered a 113.75-point decline to 17,982.52, while the S&P 500 lost 10.92 points to 2,091.48.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq edged down 2.24 points to 4,945.89.

Internationally, investors were digesting the recent policy meeting of the European Central Bank. The ECB announced that it was going to leave its key interest rates unchanged at zero as it assesses whether current record lows will stimulate the tepid recovery in the 19 countries that share the euro currency.

The refinancing rate determines the cost of central bank credit to commercial banks, and through that steers many other short-term lending rates.

The central bank also didn’t touch its rate of minus 0.4 per cent on funds left on deposit at the central bank by commercial banks. That unusual negative rate is aimed at getting banks to lend the money, not stash it.

“Global investors are largely expecting the European Central Bank to continue exploring and implement aggressive policies to stimulate the economy,” said Fehr.

“Today’s announcement that the rates are being held steady… was a disappointment to some investors.”

Elsewhere on commodity markets, the June gold contract shed $4.10 to US$1,250.30 a troy ounce. The May contract for natural gas was unchanged at US$2.07 per mmBtu, while the May copper contract added a penny to US$2.25 a pound.

Home sellers in hot markets worried about being buyers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A new report suggests the red hot real estate markets in Vancouver and Toronto are discouraging some potential sellers from listing their homes because they’re afraid of becoming buyers themselves.

The spring market trends report by real estate firm Re/Max on Thursday says while homeowners in those cities know their homes will sell quickly, many are reluctant to become buyers in the highly competitive market.

Re/Max says some are also reluctant to list their homes because they believe that prices could move even higher.

Vancouver and Toronto have been the hottest real estate markets in the country, raising questions about af-

fordability, the role of speculators and the influence of foreign buyers.

The average residential sale price in Vancouver in the first quarter was $1,103,586, up 24 per cent from a year ago, according to Re/Max. The average price in Toronto was $675,492, up 14 per cent.

The report suggested the strength of Toronto and Vancouver are helping drive prices in neighbouring regions as buyers move further out in search of an affordable home. The report noted that Hamilton-Burlington and Barrie in Ontario as well as Victoria have seen prices rise 10 per cent or more compared with a year ago.

“The population growth in these regions, driven by housing demand, is growing local economies as restaurants, shops and services expand,” the report said.

Recently-engaged couple Andrew Lounsbury and Camille Verschooris talk at the Coriander Girl florist shop in Toronto on Tuesday. The couple knew tying the knot was expensive, but they didn’t realize how pricey it could be until they found out their $30,000 budget wasn’t enough to cut it for the wedding of their dreams.

Wedding planning can get costly quick

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Whoever said love doesn’t cost a thing wasn’t planning a wedding.

Recently-engaged couple Camille Verschooris and Andrew Lounsbury knew tying the knot was expensive, but they didn’t realize how pricey it could be until they found out their $30,000 budget wasn’t enough to cut it for the wedding of their dreams.

“The budget got thrown out of the window quickly,” said Verschooris, a 24-year-old producer’s assistant.

“What we imagined was very different than what we could afford,” added 29-year-old Lounsbury.

The couple was faced with a big decision: Do they scale back on the party they wanted? Or do they bite the bullet and up how much they were willing to spend?

Ultimately — with help from their parents — they decided to splurge on a wedding they would want to attend, complete with a guest photo booth and a $1,200 espresso bar to be rolled out at the end of the night.

For Verschooris, the greatest sticker shock was not from the big-ticket items like the wedding gown ($5,000) or the photographer (another $5,000), but it was how quickly the small expenses pushed up the bill. Having lights and sound at a wedding and bringing in

the linens, china and decorations are considered extra requests — and come with accompanying fees.

Wedding planner Rebecca Chan says one of the biggest costs for a wedding is a venue, which can eat up to half of a couple’s total budget.

For example, a wedding venue in downtown Toronto can charge between $150 to $300 per person, just for the meal.

Chan recommends couples multiply that figure by the number of guests attending and getting a full cost estimate of everything they need for the venue — from chair rentals to speakers — for a more realistic idea of the final bill.

Then add up all the miscellaneous costs like hiring an officiant, coat check and transportation to and from the ceremony site, she said.

“These are not usually the first things you think of when you’re planning your wedding,” said Chan.

“You think of your flowers, you think of your dress, you think of the fun pretty things and you often forget about the costs associated with getting from point A to B.” Couples should also make sure they budget in other costs they may be on the hook for, such as the rehearsal dinner and a brunch for family and close friends the next day.

One of the biggest things couples underestimate is how much flowers will cost, Chan said.

Former WWE star ‘Chyna’ dead at age 46

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — After graduating college in 1992, Joan Marie Laurer took odd jobs, entered fitness contests and eventually trained to become a flight attendant. Then she discovered the athleticism and theatricality of the mostly male pro-wrestlers on TV and decided she, too, could leap from the turnbuckles.

Within a few years, the five-foot-10inch musclebound beauty was outfitted in leather and sparkles and nationally known as Chyna, pro-wrestling’s first female superstar, taking on both women and men in the ring.

Seemingly just as quickly, her wrestling career was over, and Laurer struggled to remain in the spotlight — posing for Playboy, revealing her struggles with addiction on reality TV and making several adult films.

On Wednesday, police found the 46-year-old dead in her Redondo

Beach apartment. They were responding to a 911 call from a friend who said the former World Wrestling Entertainment performer failed to answer her phone for a few days.

Investigators didn’t immedi- Joan Laurer ately release a cause of death but noted there were no indications of foul play. Police initially reported the death as a possible overdose, Los Angeles County’s Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said.

An autopsy was planned in the next few days, he said, but it could be weeks before the toxicology results are known.

first appearance in the ring. “She was polarizing, but she made it OK for a woman to get in there with the men.

Even on the theatrical stage that is the WWE, she made it believable that she could compete with a man.”

Chyna was billed as the “9th Wonder of the World” because her wrestling predecessor Andre the Giant had already called himself the eighth. She was a member of the WWE squad that dubbed itself “D-Generation X” and at one point was the women’s champion.

“She was truly a pioneer in our industry, and she will be missed,” tweeted Stephanie McMahon, an owner and executive with WWE who was once a romantic rival. Laurer wasn’t afraid to “blaze her own trail and create a path for those who would follow,” Triple H, whose real name is Paul Levesque, said on Twitter. “A pioneer whose star shined bright. .RIPChyna.”

After leaving the WWE in 2001, Laurer was determined to stay active in the entertainment industry.

raphy, “If They Only Knew,” that she watched wrestlers on television before she became one. And she would shake her head at how the women were presented as a mere side show “Wrestling. ‘I can do that!’ I remember shouting at the TV,” she wrote.

She trained at Walter “Killer” Kowalski’s wrestling school and eventually claimed she could bench press more than 280 pounds.

The WWE — then known as the World Wrestling Federation — hired Chyna in 1997 as a “bodyguard” for its marquee performer Triple H, with whom she later became romantically involved in real life and in the WWE’s scripted story lines. But it was immediately clear the raven-haired Chyna could break through as a star in her own right, said Jack Jorgensen, an editor with the sports and entertainment website Fansided.

“This big woman coming out of the crowd, it was something you’d never seen before,” Jorgensen recalled of her

ADVICE FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2016

Man worried about wife’s fidelity

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPES Friday, April 22 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Glen Campbell, 80; Jack Nicholson, 79; Amber Heard, 30 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Today’s stars suit reflecting on issues in a deep way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Organized and downto-earth, you tend to take life — and yourself — very seriously. The second half of the year is the time to let your hair down, and have some fun!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): With Venus and Uranus vamping through your sign, it’s the perfect time to flirt up a storm or call in a few old favours, as you surprise the cynics and dazzle the doubters with your Aries charm!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Education planet Mercury is moving through your sign. So your motto for today is from Taurean actor and birthday great Jack Nicholson, “The minute that you’re not learning, I believe you’re dead.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): How well do you really know a work colleague? Perhaps it’s time to take off your rose-coloured glasses and see the real person — warts and all. Expect some vivid and dramatic dreams tonight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If things get too frantic today then find a quiet spot where you can curl up on your own with your favourite music or a good book. You need time alone to review, recharge and refocus.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When it comes to a frustrating problem you’ve been having with a child, teenager or close friend, you need to go over old ground as you peel back the layers and

volves transparency. Ask her to share the texts and emails (past and present) from her co-worker. She should have no reason to hide them from you. But please don’t overreact to mildly personal banter. A lot of that is perfectly normal in a work relationship, and if you trust your wife, you should have no cause to doubt her fidelity.

Dear Annie: I love reading Annie’s Mailbox. But I strongly feel that you did not sufficiently help “Cut Off in Montreal.” He said he’s been married 21 years and that his wife withholds sex any time they argue. She also refuses to discuss it.

While all his problems are probably legitimate, your answer failed to note the most important reason that his wife is likely frustrated with and resentful of him, and as a result, cannot en-

gage in sex with him. The fact that she brings up old grievances shows that she is extremely unhappy. Most women I know associate sex with love. Could it be that she does not feel cherished or cared for when she is suffering? That he doesn’t listen to her when she is sad? That she needs to be cuddled or cajoled? That he’s never said, “Come here and let me give you a hug”?

Sometimes a man feels “attacked” when his partner complains when, in fact, all the woman is looking for is a bit of nonsexual affection. You cannot have sex with someone you resent or feel insecure with. She is not withholding sex to punish him. She does it because she feels no tenderness from him.

Please address the fact that his wife most definitely feels unloved. She is angry, frustrated and resentful, because he does not cherish her. At least

that is how she sees it. — A 76-Year-Old Mother of Two Dear Mother: You could be right, although you are making a lot of assumptions. Many men do not realize how much emotional caring a woman needs in order to feel loved. However, if you are right, the wife needs to clearly communicate what her emotional needs are so that her husband understands. (After 21 years, he’s not going to figure it out on his own.) The major stumbling block is that his wife is unwilling to make the effort and refuses to discuss it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Sun and Mercury encourage you to put more energy into pursuing your dreams. No vacillating Virgo! Itís time to set ambitious goals — and then pursue them with passion and purpose.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An issue with a relative, friend or neighbour needs to be approached in a serious and disciplined way. The problem won’t magically disappear — you’ll have to work hard to find a lasting solution.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll feel right at home today as the Moon moves through your sign. So it’s the perfect time to nurture a deep emotional connection with someone who you hold very dear in your heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re keen to help loved ones today, as your compassionate Sagittarian side takes over. But make sure others require your assistance — and you’re not just barging in and taking over.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When it comes to a fiery relationship with a feisty family member, don’t keep interacting — and stirring things up — in the same old way. A creative and proactive approach reaps rewards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Adventurous Aquarius — it’s time to blast out of your usual routine and do something exciting and different today. Otherwise you’ll just feel restless, reckless and mighty rebellious!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): With the Sun and Mercury in your communication zone, you’re keen to communicate with others.

So socializing with family, friends and neighbours is highlighted, as you chat up a storm.

Dear Annie: My wife of 30 years is a manager at a large company. Over the past several months, she has been working with a divorced male colleague who is constantly texting, phoning, emailing and Facebook messaging her.

At first, I thought nothing about the invasion of privacy. But when the contact was after business hours and on weekends, I began to wonder if there was something else I needed to be concerned about. I have asked my wife to keep her contact with him to business hours, but she insists their chatter is work related and there is nothing going on between them.

The two of them have been assigned a major project that will take at least three years to complete and will involve a small amount of travel. Our relationship has always been solid, but this is getting to me. What do you recommend? — Concerned Dear Concerned: This work relationship is ringing all kinds of bells in your head, justified or not, and those fears can damage your marriage. Tell your wife you need reassurance, and this in-
