CHICKEN BARN GOES UP IN FLAMES NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Hospital too small for region: report BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Central Alberta has outgrown Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre to the point where a tall clinical tower should be built to expand programs and replace aging infrastructure, according to a hospital report. An internal Alberta Health Services needs assessment report of the facility, dated December 2015, indicated medical beds were at 135 per cent occupancy and 79 more beds are required now. There are now 158 beds. There should be 12 operating rooms instead of nine, and there should be 76 surgical beds, up from 69. The emergency department’s 52 treatment spaces should have 18 more treatment stretchers, and the pediatric beds should double to 20. The only expansion project listed in the report that was underway was the construction of two maternity operating rooms. The $9.7-million project should be finished next spring. Ten and 20-year projections in the 82-page report show how the lack of beds and services will continue to grow if not addressed. Needs Assessment: Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre Service and Program Expansion was submitted for government consideration in December and the wait is now on. See HOSPITAL on Page A7

Walking with Our Sisters organizing committee among groups, individuals honoured by city BY ADVOCATE STAFF

MAYOR’S RECOGNITION AWARDS

The Walking with Our Sisters local organizing committee received the highest recognition from the City of Red Deer. On Thursday Mayor Tara Veer recognized individuals and organizations who have brought honour and recognition to the city. The awards are chosen by the Mayor’s Recognition Awards Committee. The Mayor’s Special Award, chosen by the mayor, was handed out to the 18 members of the committee for their outstanding leadership, volunteerism and contribution to the community for their work bringing the memorial art

installation to Red Deer. The display of moccasin vamps represented the unfinished lives of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts. There were more than 2,400 visitors over the three weeks the display was housed at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery last June. Diane Gardipy, committee member, said it was exciting to receive recognition and appreciation for what Walking with Our Sisters brought to Red Deer – culture, education and understanding. “The concept of Walking with Our

Sisters was to bring awareness to the social issue of missing and murdered indigenous women so the importance of having to speak about the real issues that are happening within communities and it goes back to all types of violence,” said Gardipy. The Mayor’s Recognition Awards recognize Red Deer individuals, groups or teams who have brought honour and recognition to Red Deer in one of five categories. Please see AWARDS on Page A7

South African firefighters need to be paid according to Alberta laws: Notley BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — South African firefighters who joined the battle against the Fort McMurray blaze will get every penny they were promised, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said Thursday. “I can say right now that every hour that every firefighter from South Africa — or anywhere else — has worked on these fires will be compensated in accordance with our laws in this province,” Notley said in Calgary. The South African group that employs the 300 workers said they would be leaving after only a week on the job because of a pay dispute. The organization Working on Fire said senior managers were coming to Canada to address concerns and oversee the re-

turn. Notley said the province contracted with the agency to pay the firefighters roughly $170 a day. That works out to $21.25 an hour for an eight-hour shift. Food, lodging and travel were also covered by the government. Firefighter Ditiro Moseki told Edmonton radio station CHED that he’s been working 12-hour shifts and getting paid $50 a day. He said a news story he and some of his co-workers saw from South Africa says the employer is paying them $21 an hour. “Comparing the $21 per hour to that $50 that they are going to give us today, there is a serious difference there,” he said.

County nixes resort paving plan again

VOLUNTEERS APPRECIATED

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Developers of a Gull Lake RV resort could not convince Lacombe County council on Thursday to upfront the cost of paving an access road. It’s the third time developers behind the Sandy Point RV Resort have unsuccessfully floated a proposal for the county to pay for the cost of paving the road, with the municipality to be reimbursed later. Fear of setting a precedent that other developers may want to copy was the biggest stumbling block for several councillors and Reeve Paula Law. It had been proposed that the county cover about $1.7 million to pave a five-km stretch of Range Road 1-1 from Hwy 12 to the resort on the southwest side of the lake. About $400,000 would be covered by offsite levies to be collected from the developer. As security, the developer planned to put up some valuable Sylvan Lake property as collateral. As well, the money would be repaid at an interest rate of prime plus one. The motion to approve narrowly lost on a 4-3 vote. County staff had recommended council approve the deal, noting a paved road would benefit the county by reducing maintenance costs while providing a better link with public beach facilities created by Sandy Point developers. Under an agreement signed with Sandy Point developers, they are required to pave the gravel road when average traffic volumes hit 400 vehicles per day — a threshold not reached at last count. Law spoke out strongly against changing what had been agreed to previously. “This will be very, very precedent setting,” she said, adding council could expect other developers to want to renegotiate their agreements as well. Coun. Brenda Knight wanted to see the developer put up cash towards the paving project to take more of the cost off the county. Several councillors saw merit in getting the road paved now. Coun. Ken Wigmore said safety will be an issue when the gravel route gets busy with beach-goers and clouds of dust are thrown up in front of drivers. Safety was also a concern for Coun. Keith Stephenson, who noted the county would be reimbursed with interest for the paving work and there would be no cost to the taxpayer. Coun. Dana Kreil also supported paving the road, with Coun. Rod McDermand and Barb Shepherd the others against. McDermand had proposed deferring a decision to get more information on the value of the collateral, the risk to the county and whether the developers would be willing to put up some paving money. That motion was defeated.

Popular reality show star rolling into town to support food drive BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Ice Road Trucker star Alex Debogorski is making a pit stop at a food drive for the Red Deer Food Bank on Saturday. Debogorski recently wrapped up the shooting for the 10th season of the reality show, which features truckers hauling 80,000-pound loads over frozen lakes and rivers to reach remote communities. “We travel the world where 99.9 per cent of the people have never seen,” said Debogorski, who calls Yellowknife home. “We’re in the tundra of the Northwest Territories. We drive on lakes that cost you $10,000 to go fishing on if you can get someone to take you up there.” Debogorski, 60, has driven on the Dempster Highway from Whitehorse to Inuvik and the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay for two seasons. He has worked in northern Manitoba, Ontario, the United Kingdom and other places. “Most Canadians and Americans never see these communities,” said Debogorski. “We get to see sights and animals and places on the planet that nobody gets to see except for a few thousand truck drivers.” The pair are in custody and will appear in Red Deer provincial court on Friday. Daniel Sawyer was previously charged with second-degree murder and has a preliminary hearing that is set to begin on Aug. 26.

Sunbreaker Cover residents revive request for second access to community

BRIEFS

Fort McMurray’s wildfire experiences prompted Sunbreaker Cove residents to revive a request for a second access. The summer village on the north side of Sylvan Lake can be reached by a single road. Previously, the community has asked that a short emergency connection be made to the neighbouring Blissful Beach community to provide an alternate route out. Requests in both 2011 and 2012 for the link were turned down because of opposition from Blissful Beach residents. They are concerned it will encourage more snowmobile and off-road vehicle

Two more suspects charged in connection with stabbing death Police have charged two more suspects in connection to the stabbing death of a Red Deer man outside a pub last November. Alan Beach, 31, was stabbed in the Village Mall parking lot in north Red Deer on Nov. 18, 2015. Bill Georgopoulos, 35, and Andrew Werth, 21, have been charged with one count of manslaughter and one count of accessory after the fact to murder.

He said the majority of the world’s population has not seen snow or ice. Debogorski says the show’s popularity is drawing more interest in the trucking industry. He has met people on the road who have told him the show has made an impact on their career choices. The popular character-driven reality show is shown in 190 countries around the world. Debogorski has also appeared on other trucking shows including IRT Deadliest Roads. Debogorski is married and ALEX DEBOGORSKI lives in Yellowknife. He has 11 children and 14 grandchildren. The reality television star will be at the Real Canadian Superstore from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will also be a barbecue. Debogorski is appearing as part of Express Employment Professionals’ Brand It Blue Day. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com traffic in their neighbourhood. Fort McMurray’s experiences trying to evacuate people out of neighbourhoods with limited access prompted the new request. Given that there has been no indication that Blissful Beach’s residents have changed their minds, council turned down the summer village’s request. The county will take another look at the issue if those opposed have changed their minds, said council.

Woman injured in ATV crash near Clive A 41-year-old woman was airlifted by STARS on Wednesday evening after being injured when the ATV she was driving crashed near Clive. Blackfalds RCMP said in a release that when the woman rolled her ATV, she was ejected and landed in a nearby ditch, sustaining serious injuries. A 35-year-old man who was operating a second ATV and present when the collision occurred is being investigated for refusing to provide a breath sample. Charges are pending.

Blissful Beach couple say county failed to notify them of wastewater project BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A Blissful Beach couple say they will spend thousands of dollars unnecessarily on their sewage system because Lacombe County didn’t alert them a communal system was coming. Carman and Nancy Read spent about $27,400 on their state-of-the-art wastewater system for the new home they built and moved into in July 2014. However, in February 2014 county council voted to go ahead with the Sylvan Lake Communal Wastewater Project, which serves about 70 residences in Blissful Beach, Kusamo Krest, Palm Bay and Yuill subdivisions. Further funding decisions were made later in the year up to September. A connection cost of $5,421 was set for residents, who also pay a fixed monthly charge of about $30. The Reads are unhappy that the county did not alert them that the communal system was coming before their home was finished. Given a little more advanced notice, their house could have been designed to tie in with the coming communal system and avoided costly retroactive hookup expenses. “It really does come down to timing.

That’s the fundamental issue here,” said Carman Read in a presentation to council on Thursday. They asked the county to waive the connection cost and reimburse them an additional $7,079 they spent on a new pump, water meter and other costs required to change over their system. Some councillors expressed concerns about setting a precedent by granting the request. But Read argued none of the other homeowners were in a similar situation given that he alone had been in the middle of building a home. The Reads found some support in Coun. Keith Stephenson, who believes the county could have alerted the homeowners in time to make changes to their design. “It’s a very extreme case but I feel the county has some fault in this,” he said. Coun. Dana Kreil pointed out that the county provided $1.3 million to reduce the cost of hooking up the communal system for homeowners. Council voted 6-1 against refunding the Reads with Stephenson in favour. A second motion to refund them $5,000 also failed with Stephenson and Coun. Barb Shepherd in support.

Lacombe County to use money for sewage line to buy land BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Lacombe County has agreed that funding it provided for a regional sewage line can be used to buy land. The county, Blackfalds and Lacombe had previously agreed to share the $3.2-million cost of detailed design work for the $60-million sewer line from Lacombe to Red Deer. However, last month the province agreed to cover that cost. To keep the project rolling, the communities want to use their committed cash to undertake land acquisition for the 25-km line. That means adding land buying to the previous funding agreement. It is hoped that there will be enough money available to buy all of the nec-

essary land for the line, which will also use existing rights-of-way. If the bulk of the necessary provincial funding comes through, construction could start next year. It is hoped the province will pick up 90 per cent of the cost as it did with a similar Olds-toRed Deer sewage line completed last year. The first phase would feature an eight-kilometre link from Blackfalds to Red Deer along with a pumping station. Phase 2 would create a 17-km link from Blackfalds to Lacombe with a pumping station at the north end. Both Lacombe and Blackfalds are anxious to build the sewage line because their systems are at capacity and the communities don’t want to spend millions on stop-gap measures when the real answer is a regional line.

Former Red Deer mayor receives honourary doctorate Former Red Deer mayor Morris Flewwelling is adding another accolade to his long list of awards. The Order of Canada recipient received an honorary doctor of law degree from the University of Alberta yesterday. Flewwelling, 74, told the Advocate in April that the the honour is validating because he worked very hard in many spheres of his public life in professional work but also a lot in the civic sector. “This is very validating because it is a recognition of my own university validating the work that I did,” he said. “I came from small-town Alberta to the big smoke and it was the university that gave me vision clearly to dedicate my life to public service,” he said. His accolades include being named one of Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People in 2013 and the Alberta Museums Association Lieutenant Governor’s Award for his commitment to heritage in 2012. He was Red Deer’s mayor for nine years and served on council for 21 years.

Changes to act could hurt democracy T

here is no level of government that affects your day-to-day life more than the municipal level. The neighbour’s dog barks too much. The garbage didn’t get picked up. There’s too many weeds in the park. The power just went out. The streets are too icy. The water smells funny. There is no water. Someone just blocked the driveway. The storm sewer is flooding. When’s the next bus? We need an ambulance. We need the police. The traffic lights are out. There’s a moose-deer-skunk-cat in my yard. Where can I purchase a grave site, property lot or building permit? Where can I find a book to read about urban bees and chickens? Where can I swim, skate or play pickle ball? Who are you going to communicate with in relation to any of these matters? Well, certainly not the premier’s office, the office of the prime minister, or even Buckingham Palace. They would just send you off to your local city, town, county or village office. It’s this local level of government that we rely on for so much. It’s also the level that we receive important, often daily communication about all kinds of things that very much matter in our lives. From the time we get up in the morning and turn the coffee pot

OUR VOICE on to the time we lay our heads down looking for a quiet and safe night’s sleep, the government closest at hand is always the municipal one. So when the provincial government decides to review, modernize and change the laws that cover municipal governments, we should pay attention. As it turns out, Alberta is revising the province’s Municipal Government Act (MGA), which contains the legislation on how local governments must operate. Recently the province announced intended amendments to the act, and a consultation process has started. The review of the MGA actually began under the former Progressive Conservative government, and has been moved forward by the current NDP regime. Communicating with taxpayers and all the other citizens that make up the heart and soul of a community is an important level of democracy, especially when it comes to contentious issues. One of the changes likely to come under the revised MGA might not affect the way you communicate with

your municipal government, but it could very well affect how your local municipality communicates with you. This may be about to change considerably as proposed changes would allow municipalities to pass a bylaw that would change the way they make the public aware of all kinds of things such as meetings, public hearings, proposed bylaws and other legal notices. The idea is to allow municipalities to be less restricted and “modernize” how they communicate important information. A lot of it is being done now the traditional way, such as in the local newspaper. In the future it could be done online and municipalities have been pushing for this. While there are obvious reasons why print media would have concerns about this, there are other reasons the general public might be concerned as well. There are probably few people here and in the rest of the country who haven’t had the experience of trying to talk to someone sitting right in front of you, but totally ignoring you because they are “plugged into” some electronic device. There’s a lot of wonderfulness about the Internet, but it has its drawbacks. By its nature, online is in many

ways a solitary experience. You click, you read, you click, it’s gone, and the chances of having a discussion about anything ever diminishing. Other forms of sharing and providing information are not quite so cocooning in nature. An interesting situation developed recently when Chip Wilson, founder of Lululemon and still its largest shareholder, was unable to participate in the company’s annual general meeting. The company held the meeting of stockholders by way of a voice-only webcast. Questions had to be submitted earlier by email. Wilson said later only a few “softball” questions were addressed by the board. It was a 20-minute meeting. Shareholders couldn’t ask questions during the webcast. It wasn’t exactly the most democratic way to hear from them. As municipalities consider moving more and more to an online world only of providing information, their “shareholders” might want to consider whether there’s a possibility they could be witnessing a kind of thinning of democracy themselves.

are critical tools for helping farmers do just that by enabling them to use a lot less land to grow a lot more food, which preserves biodiversity, tackles climate change and conserves natural resources. Without plant science technologies, Canada would need to farm almost 50 per cent more land to grow the same amount of food. That’s more than the total area of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and P.E.I. combined. These same technologies also mean farmers drive over fields fewer times, saving up to 194 million litres of fuel a year. And because they use less land, disturb it less frequently, and just generally run their equipment less often, greenhouse gases are reduced by close to 30 million tonnes each year. Canadian farmers are committed to caring for the environment because they rely on the land for their livelihood. By using technologies that allow them to farm more efficiently, they are protecting the environment we all share.

CALGARY — A medical expert says a starving diabetic teen was literally skin and bones and appeared to be suffering from scurvy when he died at his family’s home. “To call this neglect, you’d need a new word,” Dr. Michael Seear said Thursday at the first-degree murder trial of the boy’s parents. Emil Radita, 59, and his wife Rodica, 53, have pleaded not guilty in the death of their 15-year-old son, who weighed less than 37 pounds when he died in Calgary in 2013. Seear was the attending physician both times that Alexandru Radita was admitted to the British Columbia Children’s Hospital — initially in 2000 when the child was diagnosed and again three years later. He said he has treated countless patients over the years, but the Radita case was “sufficiently unusual” that it stuck in his mind. Seear appeared visibly shaken as he looked at a number of photos in court, including one of Alexandru on his 15th birthday, just a few months before the boy’s death. Seear said the teen appeared to be trying to put on a brave face. “I see he’s sitting in bed with a blanket over his legs. He is a severely malnourished boy. This boy is emaciated, miserable, with an ulcer on his neck

and a bruise on his forehead. He’s very, very miserable.” But it was pictures taken of Alexandru on the day he died that caused Seear the most distress. Several times he took a deep breath before answering. “Aye, yi, yi. My God,” he muttered. “The teeth have rotted down to stumps. There’s blood on his lips and blood on his gums. That is scurvy and that’s something that hasn’t been seen for a hundred years. “This is utter neglect with this emaciated corpse in the middle of it. He has no muscle. The common expression is skin and bones. There is only tendon and bones. “There’s nothing left.” The doctor said the boy’s first visit to the children’s hospital years earlier was pretty much normal for a child presenting with Type 1 diabetes, but the mother was adamant that her son did not have the illness. Seear told court the boy’s appearance had changed when he saw him again in October 2003. “It was such a shocking sight it sticks in your mind. He was in the last stages of malnutrition,” said Seear. “He came in the door close to death. He had a swollen belly because of the fluid. He had no ability to mount an immune response. We started him on antibiotics … and as it turned out he had blood cultures that were positive for bacteria,” he testified. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ) said earlier on Thursday that it had restarted the 800 barrels a day of production it shut down as a precaution because of the fire. The company said the fire remains at a safe distance and operations at its Pelican Lake facility have returned to normal. Alberta wildfire officials said the fire burning about 300 kilometres north of Edmonton had been downgraded from “out of control” to “being held,” but still spans about 75 hectares.

WABASCA — Operations are returning to normal in the Wabasca area of northern Alberta after a wildfire prompted two companies to cut back heavy oil production earlier this week. Cenovus Energy Inc.

Wrestler no longer facing assault, sex assault charges BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Gordon Stuckless arrives at court in Toronto.

Victims angry after convicted pedophile Stuckless sentenced to 6.5 years BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Toronto courtroom erupted in shouts of anger Thursday when a man who admitted to sexually abusing 18 vulnerable young boys while working as a hockey coach and teacher decades ago was sentenced to six and a half years in prison. Gordon Stuckless, 67, who also worked at Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabled Maple Leaf Gardens, was given credit of six months for time served under house arrest, which means his sentence is reduced to six years. Some victims and their supporters shouted profanities at Stuckless after Justice Mara Greene read the decision, while one woman walked out of the courtroom in protest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had (expletive) nightmares longer than six years,â&#x20AC;? one man yelled at Stuckless as he was led away in handcuffs. Outside court, the same man, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, said he and other victims had served more time behind bars for offences where no one got hurt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This man took a whole lot more than just skin,

and to just get six years, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it should have been so much more.â&#x20AC;? Gary Kruze, whose late brother Martin was one of the first to come out with allegations against Stuckless in the late 1990s, called the sentence â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely deplorable and a joke.â&#x20AC;? But he stopped short of criticizing the judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was tied in with the current laws that we have in Canada and she had to go back and look at historical cases and comparisons. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real problem here,â&#x20AC;? he said, vowing to push for legal reform. Stuckless pleaded guilty two years ago to 100 charges related to the sexual abuse of the 18 victims, now in their 40s and 50s. He was also convicted of two additional charges of gross indecency linked to two of the victims. Stucklessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Ari Goldkind, had argued his client should face a five-year sentence, with two years of credit for time spent on house arrest and steps taken to prevent recidivism â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely the fact that he has voluntarily undergone chemical castration for more than a decade.

SHERWOOD PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Crown has dropped criminal charges against Teddy Hart, a member of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary Hart wrestling family and known for his daredevil antics both inside and outside the ring as well as for his breeding of Persian cats. Hart, whose legal name is Edward Annis, was charged with assault, unlawful confinement and sexual assault against two women in Sherwood Park, just east of Edmonton, in 2013 and 2014. The charges were withdrawn at the start of a preliminary hearing May 26. A spokeswoman with Alberta Justice says the Crown determined after a review that the case did not meet the criteria needed to proceed. Lawyer Kent Teskey says his client had always maintained his innocence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teddy has had this fog of charges over him for a year and a half,â&#x20AC;? Teskey said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relieved and looks forward to getting back to work.â&#x20AC;? The same day the charges were withdrawn, Hart signed a peace bond agreeing not to contact the two women for two years. Teskey said Hart has no interest in contacting the complainants. Hart, 36, is the grandson of Stu Hart, founder of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stampede Wrestling, and nephew of famed wrestler Bret (The Hitman) Hart. At 18, he became the youngest wrestler to sign with what is now World Wrestling Entertainment. He later worked on other wrestling circuits in the United States, Mexico and Europe. A March profile in Rolling Stone magazine detailed his eclectic lifestyle. He also has a side-career breeding Persian cats. A pilot for a reality show about Hart, titled Hart Attack, was filmed but never aired. A description of the show says Hart â&#x20AC;&#x153;lived in a mansion filled with models, bikers and 50 Persian show cats.â&#x20AC;? A producer of the show, Kurt Spenrath, is making a short documentary about Hart called Hart of Darkness. Spenrath said that since the charges were withdrawn, Hart has received more wrestling offers. There are also plans for him to open a wrestling school in Los Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He certainly seems to be reinvigorated in his career, strangely enough,â&#x20AC;? said Spenrath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Promoters from all over North America have been scrambling for him.â&#x20AC;? Teskey said Hart lived in Sherwood Park during the time of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegations. Hart was in Texas when he was charged by RCMP in late 2014 and returned to Canada to turn himself in.

MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Richard Henry Bain was upset the day the Parti Quebecois went on to win the 2012 election, the Crown said Thursday as it outlined its case against the man charged with murder that night. Bain, 65, was unable to vote earlier in the day because of an address problem, prosecutor Dennis Galiatsatos told the jury as Bainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-degree murder trial began. Hours later, the accused was listening to the radio in his vehicle when he learned then-PQ leader Pauline Marois would be Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new premier, he said. Galiatsatos said Bain parked his car in a lot outside the Metropolis club where PQ members were inside celebrating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 11:40 p.m., as Marois took the stage â&#x20AC;Ś Bain parked his vehicle, a black, GMC Yukon SUV, put on a ski mask, a bathrobe and took a loaded, semi-automatic gun, a pistol, as well as an extra magazine clip and a flare,â&#x20AC;? he told the court.

carried through to the firefighters. While it is a dispute between the firefighters and their agency … it’s not acceptable to me and to my government that we would have people working for wages in our province that do not align with our labour laws.” Alberta’s minimum wage is $11.20 per hour. She said any future contracts with agencies outside Alberta’s jurisdiction will be reviewed to ensure they comply. Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGown was pleased with the government’s quick response.

PAY: Government investigating

AWARDS: Vibrant, active residents

Working on Fire says it never agreed to pay anyone $21 an hour. The agency said in a statement that the agreement called for the firefighters to earn the stipend, plus any overtime, they usually receive back home. They were to receive an extra $50 a day for working in Canada — $15 up front and $35 when they return. Spokesman Linton Rensburg said in an email to The Canadian Press that the normal stipend is the Canadian equivalent of between $200 and $1,200 a month depending on rank. Rensburg was not immediately available to discuss the apparent discrepancies after Notley released Alberta’s figures. The premier said her government is investigating. “Alberta engaged in a contract that was constructed with the understanding that it would facilitate minimum levels of pay to those firefighters,” she said. “We were disturbed to learn very recently the reports that that has not

“We’re part of 24 high-priority projects that have been identified in the Alberta Health Services capital submissions for 2015,” said Carol Murray, senior operating officer for AHS Central Zone who is responsible for the central area including Red Deer. “The priority and the ranking has to take into consideration the entire province’s needs and pressure points and capacity issues. So we don’t know if we’re one, two, three, four or 24.” Approval to go on to the design and cost phase didn’t happen in the 2016-17 provincial budget. At that phase it would be determined whether construction would be a new tower at the hospital campus. Other proposed options include a midrise expansion within the centre of the existing hospital, or site expansion through land acquisition. Murray said Red Deer’s turn will come. Two regional hospitals in Southern Alberta currently have capital projects that were previously approved. “We haven’t had a major capital injection, other than the (two maternity operating rooms) for a time. We anticipate that’s an important factor that would be taken into consideration.” According to the assessment, Red Deer hospital has the fourth highest acuity of all full service acute care facilities in Alberta. Only University of Alberta Hospital, Foothills Medical Centre and Royal Alexandra Hospital are higher. Red Deer hospital was also the fourth busiest incoming referral site and fourth busiest surgical service site. Murray said the fact that the hospital plays an important role in the province’s health care system is in its favour. “We know, and the community knows, we have significant capacity issues. But having said that we’re not standing still. We’re looking at ways of being more efficient with our current capacity.” A few years ago some day surgery was moved to hospitals in Olds and Innisfail to increase surgeries. Having additional operating rooms used during evening shifts and extending surgery hours are other strategies being examined, she said. “We know that our wait times could be improved for a number of our surgeries.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

SHARKS SLIP THE HOOK IN CUP FINAL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Sharks 4 Penguins 2 PITTSBURGH — The San Jose Sharks might have been flying home for a different reason had it not been for Martin Jones on Thursday night. Jones was perhaps the sole reason the Sharks head back to San Jose with a chance to even the Stanley Cup final. The 26-year-old made 44 saves in Game 5, keeping his team afloat in a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center. “It’s just not tonight,” Sharks centre Joe Thornton said. “He does it every game for us. He was just a stud for us.” Pittsburgh outshot San Jose 46-22, but it was the Sharks that emerged behind Jones, who boasts a .933 save percentage in the final. San Jose now trails the best-of-seven series 3-2 with Game 6 on Sunday night at SAP Center. The Sharks also got the finest effort of the final from Logan Couture, who had three points in a first period that saw the two teams trade goals in a chaotic 20 minutes. But it was Jones, the goalie San Jose traded for and signed to be its No. 1 last summer, who made the biggest difference. Repeating Thornton’s claim, Sharks centre Chris Tierney said there was no surprise on the San Jose bench at the performance, “but he kind of went above and beyond tonight.” His brilliance really kicked in after the Sharks had a 2-0 lead melt away in quick fashion. Described by Sharks coach Pete DeBoer as the key fix for Game 5, San Jose indeed scored first for the first time all series. Brent Burns and Couture both beat a shaky Matt Murray in the opening three minutes, but from there Pittsburgh took over. Encouraged passionately by a bois-

San Jose Sharks’ Logan Couture and Justin Braun defend against Pittsburgh Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin during the third period in Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday, in Pittsburgh. terous home crowd, the Penguins cut the lead to one when Evgeni Malkin flung a shot off the skate of Sharks defenceman Justin Braun — the power-play goal being the second in as many games for Malkin. Pittsburgh tied it 22 seconds after that when Carl Hagelin deflected a Nick Bonino shot as he camped in front of Jones. “I know they came back and scored the two (to tie it), but to start like that

in a building like this, in a game like this, it was huge,” Thornton said of the 2-0 lead. Neither Penguins shot beat Jones clean and from there the Sharks goaltender was unbeatable. San Jose surged back in front, too, on the second this series by Melker Karlsson, who snuck a shot under the left arm of Murray. It was the third goal in five shots to beat the 22-year-old rookie.

Couture, who scored the first Sharks goal on a tip in front, set up the Karlsson marker with a nifty no-look backhand feed. It was the Guelph, Ont. native’s second assist of the period. He continues to lead all post-season scorers with 29 points. Interrupted briefly by the Karlsson goal, which came with less than six minutes to go in the first, the Penguins brought the pressure again in the second, outshooting the Sharks 17-8.

Curry not happy with play in NBA Finals BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Turns out, Stephen Curry has not entered some level of basketball infallibility. His unanimous MVP selection, the record 3-point total, the league scoring title, all those accolades while he was leading the Golden State Warriors to an NBA-record 73 regular-season wins may have made it seem like he was in a permanent video-game mode. And then came the NBA Finals. The MVP is struggling, and what once looked like a Golden State stranglehold on a repeat title no longer does. Curry has been held to 16 points per game in the first three matchups in this series against Cleveland, which resumes when the Cavaliers play host to Game 4 on Friday night. “We can definitely help Steph out and we will,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Thursday. “We can put him in better position. … The coaching staff has to figure out the best lineups

and the best looks. Players have to perform. It’s on all of us to be better.” Curry averaged 30 points per game in the regular season, but it’s been a perfect storm in the finals for struggle: He missed shots he ordinarily makes in Game 1, got himself into foul trouble in Game 2, and endured a combination of more foul trouble and smothering, grabby, invasive Cleveland defence in Game 3. Golden State leads the series 2-1, so it’s not exactly a dire situation the Warriors are facing. But if the Warriors are going to repeat, Curry probably needs to get somewhere closer to normal soon. “Last night was a struggle,” Curry said. “Just, again, foul trouble and kind of dealing with that, but also not being as aggressive as I needed to be. I don’t know what the reason was for that, and it won’t be that in Game 4.” The Cavaliers made sure Curry felt them everywhere he went in Game 3. When he tried to get into the lane, there would be someone waiting to

bump him. Baseline cut, someone would make sure to impede his path. Flash toward the ball, and Kyrie Irving or another Cavalier was often there to take a little swipe at him — not enough for a foul, but more than enough to pester. “That’s for all of their guys, not just Steph,” Cavaliers forward LeBron James said. “They do a great job of the ball moving, and when you allow those guys to move with freedom of space, they’re very dangerous. They’re already dangerous enough. So when you allow them to run around and not feel any pressure or any physicality or anything, you know, they’re able to just be even more comfortable.” The 30-point romp in Game 3 might make it seem like the Cavaliers control the series, but they still need to win three of the next four games against a team that isn’t prone to slides of any significant length. Kevin Love appeared to be making strides Thursday toward a return from his concussion, but if he plays on Friday— and in what

role — remain unanswered questions. Down 0-2, the Cavs had no choice but to be desperate. After a 30-point win, James wants to see that same desperation. “We can’t afford to go down 3-1 and go into their building and give them confidence going back,” James said. “So it’s a do-or-die game for us still.” To knot the series, it almost certainly means the Cavaliers can’t let Curry or his backcourt mate Klay Thompson — and definitely not the both of them — have big games. Draymond Green leads the Warriors in scoring in the series, which is probably more than Cleveland could have hoped for coming into the matchup. “You’ve got to be so locked in where you’re almost in a matrix, locked in a zone,” Cleveland forward Tristan Thompson said when asked about how the Cavaliers guard Curry. “Because, really, if you relax for one second, Steph’s on the other side of the court and he’s getting the open 3 in the corner.”

But elbow surgery prevented that from happening. “I had elbow surgery last September for nerve damage and some ligament damage,” explained the 20-yearold Red Deer native, who is attending Niagara County Community College in Sanborn, N.Y. “Because of the surgery I missed all of last season at Niagara and wasn’t expected back until later this summer.” But Moon’s recovery was quicker than expected and he hoped to return to Moose Jaw, where he played last summer in the WMBL. “But by the time I knew I could return they had their roster filled,” he said. “I contacted a few other teams, but it was the same situation.” So he returned home to Red Deer where he planned on playing with the Innisfail Merchants junior AAA team. He also contacted the Red Deer Riggers’ manager Jason Chatwood about attending practice. Last week he talked with Chatwood about taking some batting practice prior to the Riggers game with St. Albert. By game time he had a uniform and even saw some action at first base late in the game. “It worked out great,” he said. “I just wanted to get some swings and practice time in and it ended up I was on the team. It’s a great team with good guys to be with. It’s going to help my

development” Moon grew up playing baseball and hockey, but by the time he was 14 he switched full time to baseball. “I left to attend the Badlands Baseball Academy in Oyen and decided to concentrate on baseball.” The Badlands Academy had their own indoor facility, which was perfect for the development of younger players. “It was great in that you could take infield all year and they had a batting cage. It helped develop my game a lot.” He spent the summer back in Red Deer playing with the Carstar Braves midget AAA team and by the time he was finished school he was prepared to move to the States. Niagara is one of the best junior college programs in the States. During his first season in New York, Moon batted over .300 while playing some third and first base and catching. “I mainly played first base because of my arm, but I had a good year at the plate with a lot of RBIs. It’s too bad I missed this last season because we had a good team, finishing third in the country. The only real weakness was at first base and a third-fourth place hitter. But we had a lot of first-year guys so we should have a good team next year as well.” Because of his surgery Moon can return next season and then will look to join a four-year program. “Hopefully it works out. I’ll talk with several NCAA schools in both the first and second division.” Moon enjoyed his WMBL season with Moose Jaw, although he didn’t play as much as he would have liked. “I didn’t play that much, but it was also the start of my arm issues,” he said. “But I did come back after the WMBL season was over and played with the Merchants in the Western championships.”

Levi Moon stands at the plate for the Niagara County Community College. The Red Deer native had recovered from elbow surgery earlier than expected but could not catch on with a team for the summer which ended up being a good thing for the Red Deer Riggers. Moon played with and against the majority of the players on the Merchants and is also friends with several members of the Riggers. “I played with Nathan (Damiani) and Joel (Mazurkewich) and Drew (Boyer) coached me in midget. I didn’t know the Chatwoods and some of the other guys, but saw them play and know them that way.” While Moon would like to practice and play a bit more than he will this summer, it may be a blessing in disguise.

>>>>

“It may be … it gives my arm that much more time to be healthy. I was ahead of schedule with it, and it feels good, but it doesn’t hurt to make sure it’s completely healthy by the time I return to Niagara.” As for next season Moon can only hope to be in the WMBL. “I hope to get a chance to play there again, but we’ll see.” Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com.

Burzuk, Lonay named top athletes at Hunting Hills BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF In his last season in high school sports, Brandt Burzuk averaged 8.4 yards per carry as the lead running back for the Hunting Hills Lightning football team. “Everyone knew I was getting the ball,” the Grade 12 student chuckled. It may have been down slightly from his Grade 11 year where he averaged more than 10 yards a carry, but Burzuk flashed on the field. He credits his vision BRANDT and agility, as well as his linemen, to post those statistics. Thursday evening, he was named Hunting Hills male athlete of the year during the school’s athletics banquet. “I’m honoured, I’m glad I could represent my school and all my teams,” said Burzuk, who was also named Most Valuable Player of the football team. Outside of football, Burzuk competed on the basketball, handball, tennis and rugby teams. Burzuk will join the Edmonton Huskies in the Canadian Junior Football League next season. He was joined by fellow Grade 12 Kristen Loney, who was named the

school’s female athlete of the year. Loney took home three MVPs during the evening for the girls soccer, handball and basketball teams. She also won a coaches award for her work on the volleyball team. “Walking up on stage was a good moment,” said Loney. “It was a good way to end. “The basketball season this year stands out because we got to go to provincials and we went to volleyball provincials last year, which was awesome.” She was also a member of the cross country and track and field teams, but basketball is the BURZUK sport she enjoys the most. “Both my brothers played it and our whole family loves the sport,” said Loney. Next season she will hit the hardwood for the Red Deer College Queens basketball team.

Davis delivers game-winning sac fly as Orioles edge Blue Jays BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Orioles 6 Blue Jays 5 TORONTO — Chris Davis is finally turning things around. Davis had a game-winning sacrifice fly in the ninth inning on Thursday night to lead the Baltimore Orioles over the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5. The Orioles first baseman also tied the game with a solo home run in the seventh inning, as Baltimore got its eighth win in the past 11 games. “It was nice to be the guy tonight,” said Davis. “I’ve felt like the whole season I’ve been having really good at bats but just haven’t been able to push through. It was nice to come through for the guys tonight.” Davis, who is hitting .214 this season, also showed some athleticism by making a leaping grab in the third inning to rob Justin Smoak of a sure single down the right-field line. “I think that’s probably my best jump of the year right there,” said Davis.

Baltimore’s Hyun Soo Kim led off the ninth inning by finding the leftfield gap with a double off Roberto Osuna, and was replaced by Joey Rickard as a pinch-runner. Manny Machado moved him over with a groundout, and Davis delivered the sacrifice fly. Toronto (32-30) has now lost three of their last four games. Right-fielder Jose Bautista left the game in the sixth inning with right thigh tightness. Bautista is listed as day to day and will be re-evaluated on Friday. Osuna (2-1) suffered the loss, while Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy (2-1) picked up the win. Zach Britton pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 19th save. Toronto starter Marcus Stroman went 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits. Tyler Wilson started for the Orioles and gave up five runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. “I was just struggling to get on top of the ball a little bit,” said Stroman. “Our boys did enough to get a win, (I’m) extremely frustrated not being able to go out there and do my job and get this

victory.” Stroman has allowed eight hits in six of his past seven starts after starting the season by giving up six or fewer in his first six starts. Stroman struggled with his command out of the gate, issuing a leadoff walk to Adam Jones. Machado drove in Jones two batters later with an RBI double. “It was a battle for him (Stroman). I did think he was a little better tonight than last time,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “He’ll be fine, he’s just going through a tough stretch. He’s a tough kid, he’ll survive that.” The Blue Jays offence knocked Wilson around in the first. After Bautista led off with a double to left-centre and Josh Donaldson walked, Edwin Encarnacion delivered with a sacrifice fly to deep centre, driving in Bautista. Michael Saunders followed with an RBI double giving Toronto the lead, while Russell Martin later smoked a two-out RBI single up the middle extending the lead to 3-1. Bautista had a one-out RBI single

that scored Devon Travis in the second to extend the lead to three runs. Baltimore got to Stroman in the third, sending seven batters to the plate, yet only scoring two runs. Jones, Machado and Mark Trumbo all hit hard singles, while Davis delivered a sacrifice fly in a bases-loaded, no out situation. Matt Wieters knocked in the other run through a fielder’s choice. Bautista also scored in the fourth to extend the lead to 5-3 as Josh Donaldson lined a two-out triple to the wall driving him in. Stroman was pulled in favour of Joe Biagini in the sixth after giving up a one-out solo home run to Pedro Alvarez. Davis tied the game at five with his 13th home run of the season off Aaron Loup. Notes: Machado will appeal a fourgame suspension given to him earlier Thursday by Major League Baseball… . Attendance at Rogers Centre was 41,448… . The Orioles lead MLB in home runs with 89… . Since 2008, Davis has the most home runs against the Blue Jays with 32.

Henderson holds early lead at Women’s PGA HOLE-IN-ONE SPARKS CANADIAN TO 67 IN LPGA SECOND MAJOR OF SEASON BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Just three holes into her round, Brooke Henderson could tell she needed a spark. Her fourth career hole-in-one and a new car — to be donated to her caddie sister — did more than enough. Buoyed by the early ace and birdies on her final two holes, Henderson took the early lead Thursday in the Women’s PGA Championship, the second of the LPGA Tour’s five major championships. The 18-year-old Canadian, ranked fourth in the world, had a 4-under 67 on a cool day at Sahalee Country Club. Henderson aced the 13th hole — her fourth hole of the day — hitting a 7-iron from 155 yards to the left side of the green. The shot caught the apron and funneled directly to the cup. “It really helped out a lot and gave me momentum for the rest of the day,” Henderson said. Henderson, form Smiths Falls, Ont., was at 3 under after making a birdie at the difficult par-4 18th — her ninth hole of the day — which yielded just five birdies among the early players. But she began to struggle with her driver, hitting the ball left off the tee on three straight holes to start her back nine and dropped two shots. Henderson rebounded with birdies on three of her final four holes. She

capped the run with a short putt on the par-3 ninth to take a two-shot lead. “Making the turn I was a little shaky,” Henderson said. “Hit a couple of bad drives. But I was able to scramble, get up-and-down a couple of times that really saved my round and then finished really strong.” Henderson won in Portland last year and has nine top-10 finishes this season. Christina Kim and I.K. Kim followed at 69, with the afternoon wave still on the course. Top-ranked Lydia Ko had an evenpar 71 in a round that featured 14 pars, two birdies and two bogeys. Both of Ko’s bogeys came after she missed the fairway and had to pitch out from the trees. Christina Kim was at 2 over after three holes before rallying on her second nine. “This place has absolutely drained me. I’m very, very thankful I was able to play early today,” said Kim, fourth last week in New Jersey after finishing second the previous week in Michigan. After seeing above average temperatures earlier in the week that dried out the fairways and greens, players were treated to much cooler conditions on Thursday with rain showers popping up in the afternoon. The cooler, wet conditions are expected to last through the weekend. Three-time defending champion Inbee Park was in the featured group in

Brooke Henderson chips the ball during the first round of the Women’s PGA Championship golf tournament at Sahalee Country Club Thursday, in Sammamish, Wash. the afternoon. The 27-year-old Park will become eligible for the LPGA Hall of Fame at the completion of the round, making her the youngest player in tour history to reach the eligibility

threshold and the first since Se Ri Pak in 2007. Pak withdrew after seven holes Thursday afternoon due to an arm injury.

Trio share lead after Jay Don Blake leads Senior first round in Memphis Players Championship PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Shawn Stefani, Tom Hoge and Seung-yul Noh shared the FedEx St. Jude Classic lead at 5-under 65 on Thursday. Little wind and perfect though fast greens created near perfect scoring conditions at the TPC Southwind. Some extra rough requiring tight shots also provided a good test for players preparing for the U.S. Open next week at Oakmont in Pennsylvania. Hoge had a bogey-free round with five birdies in the morning group. This is only the second time Hoge has played the event, but he has qualified for the U.S. Open twice in Memphis and tied for 12th at Southwind last year. “I don’t know if it’s the food or the water or what it is, but Memphis has been good to me,” Hoge said. “Hopefully, I can keep it going.” Stefani was the lone player teeing off in the afternoon to work his way into a tie for the lead and stay there. The Texan was 5 under between Nos. 7 and 10 with an eagle at No. 9 where Stefani was just trying to avoid the water with the hole tucked left. “It was nice to see one go in for a change,” said Stefani, who has made only eight of 20 cuts this season. “Most of them have been hitting and spinning back going in the water this year. It is nice to kind of see some balls going my way and shots going my way for the day.” Dustin Johnson, the 2012 champ

here, was in the group at 66 with Steve Stricker, Jamie Donaldson, Colt Knost, Brian Gay and Miguel Angel Carballo. Retief Goosen, Scott Stallings and Justin Leonard — a two-time champ here — all shot 67s. Henrik Norlander of Sweden had a share of the lead with two holes to play among the final players on the course. But he three-putted from 4 feet on the par-3 eighth and finished with a 67. Phil Mickelson matched defending champion Fabian Gomez of Argentina at 70. David Hearn, of Brantford, Ont., shot a 71 and is tied for 68th. Johnson had a share of the lead too with three holes left after going 6 under between Nos. 16 and No. 2 with an eagle and four birdies. He might have had the top of the leaderboard to himself if not for what happened during the rest of a roller-coaster round that also featured a double bogey, three bogeys and three other birdies. He said he feels as if he’s playing well with the exception a few lapses in concentration. The last came on his final hole at the par-4 ninth when he came up well short of the hole, resulting in his third bogey and dropping him a shot back of the leaders. “Obviously, I hit a lot of great shots and, you know, just a little disappointed I made a bogey on the last hole being in the middle of the fairway,” Johnson said. “I pulled my wedge shot a little bit, but it’s right there. I mean, 15 feet from the hole you got to get that up and down. Have to hit a great chip shot. All in all, it’s a good day. 4-under out here is not a bad score but I feel like I’m playing a lot better than that.” That Johnson is. He finished third at Memorial last week for his seventh top 10 this season.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FLOURTOWN, Pa. — Jay Don Blake birdied three of the last five holes Thursday at windy Philadelphia Cricket Club for a 2-under 70 and the firstround lead in the Constellation Senior Players Championship. The 57-year-old Blake had five birdies and three bogeys on the A.W. Tillinghast-designed Wissahickon Course. He won the last of his three senior titles in 2012, and won at Torrey Pines in 1991 for his lone PGA Tour victory. “Tough golf course out there and I’m just happy to get done with a couple under par,” Blake said. “Hit it pretty decent all day. … Hit it well, played well and just kind of executed some good shots out there today.” Blake birdied the first two holes, then bogeyed the par-4 sixth, par-3 eighth and par-4 11th. He rebounded with birdies on par-3 14th, par-5 15th and par-4 17th in third of the PGA Tour Champions’ five majors. “It was chilly early, still had some wind,” Blake said. “Luckily, the first couple holes were downwind so that was kind of a little help off to start. The first two holes, made birdie, so got off to a good start. Then we started about three, four holes right in a row just dead into the wind and it was cold, ball was going nowhere. It was just kind of survival.” Vijay Singh bogeyed the par-4 18th to fall a stroke back along with Jeff Sluman, Brandt Jobe and Bart Bryant. “It’s a tough day,” said the 53-yearold Singh, winless in seven career starts on the 50-and-over tour. “Regardless of what club you’ve got in the hand, wedge or 9-iron or 3-wood, it’s still long, gusty crosswinds. I played

GREAT VALUE. THEY SAID IT, NOT US. Automatic Transmission MyFord® SecuriCode® Invisible Keypad Rear View Camera†

pretty good. I kept the ball in play most of the day, and unfortunately, had two three-putts, but that was pretty easy to do out here.” The 34-time PGA Tour winner has made 15 starts this year on the regular tour. “I think the last three or four events when I came over here, I kind of put too much pressure on myself that I have to win,” Singh said. “I just came this week just to have a good time and enjoy it and play good golf.” Colin Montgomerie topped the group at 70. “You get out of position off the tee and then you’re struggling,” Montgomerie said. “But I think it’s terrific, I really do. I think this is marvelous. This is a real major. This has a major feel to it. You could put these greens on any course worldwide and everyone would be thrilled with them.” Two-time defending champion Bernhard Langer bogeyed three of his last four holes for a 71. “It was really windy. That was tough,” Langer said. “Gusty winds, so it’s difficult to control. And the greens are lightning fast. On 18, I was in the right bunker and it was downwind, down grain, downhill, hard to stop the ball, it just keeps rolling and rolling and ended up making bogey. You’ve got to be aware of trying to keep the ball below the hole, which is tough to do when it’s windy like this.” The German star won in 2014 at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh and last year at Belmont in Massachusetts. “It’s a great venue,” Langer said. “It’s any bit as good as the ones we played the last couple years. They always pick great golf courses and this is no exception.”

READY FOR THE OLYMPIC SPOTLIGHT FORMER RED DEER COLLEGE KING GAVIN SCHMITT IS LEADING CANADA INTO THEIR FIRST OLYMPICS IN 24 YEARS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — At roughly the size of Toronto Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas, Gavin Schmitt could easily be mistaken for a basketball player. But walking through the lobby of a downtown Toronto hotel on Wednesday morning, a passerby recognized the towering star of Canada’s men’s volleyball team. He wished Schmitt good luck in the Rio Olympics. Schmitt and his teammates clinched their Olympic berth last weekend, and now are set to star in a spotlight Canadian volleyball hasn’t enjoyed in 24 years. The Canadian team has been on the rise since it rejoined the prestigious World League in 2012, but hasn’t played in an Olympics since 1992. The six-foot-10 Schmitt is thrilled about what it might mean for his sport. “We’ve seen an increase in popularity, and the growth in the sport since we got back in World League and they started televising it. And people are able to connect with athletes now on social media,” Schmitt said. “I remember coming through university and there was no way to connect with the national team athletes and know who was on the team and what they were doing, and I think all of these avenues have helped it grow. “And then you put Olympics on top of that, and it’s going to amplify things tenfold because more people than watch World League will watch the Olympics, and will see Canada in it for the first time in 24 years.” The Canadians beat China in their last-chance qualifying tournament Saturday, and then, back at their hotel, had to wait and watch online as Poland knocked off Australia to finally secure a spot for Canada. “We were too nervous to sit in the gym,” Schmitt said. “We found out we’d qualified when we heard other

Gavin Schmitt of Canada spikes against China during their Men’s Volleyball World Olympic qualification tournament match in Tokyo, June 5. At roughly the size of Toronto Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas, Schmitt could easily be mistaken for a basketball player but instead is a driving force leading Canada’s men’s volleyball team to an Olympic berth. people screaming, because our (online) stream was behind.” The hours since have been a whirlwind of appearances and interviews for Schmitt, who wasn’t entirely sure he’d be able to play in the qualifying tournament in Japan. In January, he underwent surgery for a stress fracture in his shin that involved cutting through his knee and then hammering a rod down through his shin bone and anchoring it with two screws. “It’s not really nice,” Schmitt said of

the gruesome procedure. While recovery can take as long as six months, Schmitt was back on the court in almost half that time. “It was a very stressful time. We kind of assumed we would qualify back in January at our first-chance qualifier, and that didn’t go so well,” Schmitt said. “I thought I was going to have seven months to take care of this injury, but had to rush it, and I wasn’t sure that I was going to make it back, but very for-

tunate that things turned out the way they did.” Rio will be just the fourth Olympic appearance for Canada since 1964. The team’s best-ever Olympic showing was fourth place in 1984. Men’s volleyball was the fifth Canadian team to qualify for Rio, following women’s soccer, women’s basketball, women’s rugby and men’s field hockey. Canada had five teams at the 2008 Games in Beijing, but they included men’s baseball and women’s softball, which are no longer Olympic sports. The most teams Canada has ever entered is nine in Montreal in 1976, but as the host nation it was guaranteed entry in every sport. Canada had eight teams in Los Angeles in 1984, but that was partly due to opening up of spots amid the Soviet-led boycott. Canada’s women’s volleyball team last played in the Olympics in 1996, and longtime star Sarah Pavan switched to beach volleyball in an effort to qualify for Rio. The beach teams have yet to be named. A joke press release was circulated on April Fools Day, announcing that Schmitt was leaving the indoor game to play beach volleyball this summer. “It caught wind,” Schmitt said, laughing. “A lot of people were asking if I was switching to beach.” A national team member since 2007, this was Schmitt’s third attempt to qualify for the Olympics, and the Saskatoon native said Rio will be the highlight of his career. “It’s something pretty rare for Canadian volleyball players, and Canadian athletes, to get to go,” said Schmitt, who’s also enjoyed a successful nineyear career playing professionally overseas. “Hopefully we’ll maybe start qualifying every four years now, but is that a reality? I’m not sure. So it’s absolutely huge. “And to come and be here late in my career and be able to go, it’s probably the biggest thing that’ll ever happen in my career.”

Phillies take Moniak with first pick in MLB draft BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SECAUCUS, N.J. — After all the uncertainty surrounding the No. 1 pick, the Philadelphia Phillies think they’ve got themselves a sure thing. Mickey Moniak, a high school outfielder from California, was selected first overall by the Phillies in the Major League Baseball draft Thursday night. Moniak, from La Costa Canyon High School in south Carlsbad, became the first prep outfielder chosen No. 1 since Tampa Bay drafted Delmon Young in 2003. The selection, announced by Commissioner Rob Manfred at MLB Network studios, marked the first time the Phillies led off the draft since they took Miami slugger Pat Burrell in 1998. “I definitely wouldn’t say there’s pressure,” Moniak said in an interview on MLB Network. “I’m excited to hopefully prove the Phillies right.” With no consensus No. 1 talent this year, there was plenty of suspense about who the Phillies would grab right up until they officially went on the clock. At least five players were considered to be in the mix for the top spot. “Collectively, we believe Mickey was the best player available in the draft,” Phillies scouting director Johnny Almaraz said in a statement. “He’s a true centre fielder with incredible offensive ability and the potential to be a perennial All-Star.” Tennessee third baseman Nick Senzel went second to Cincinnati, giving the Reds a slugger who might someday

provide pop in the middle of their lineup. “This is the guy we wanted,” Cincinnati scouting director Chris Buckley said. “He’s a very polished player, one of the better hitters, if not the best hitter, in the draft.” Senzel became the Volunteers’ highest-drafted player, surpassing Todd Helton, who went eighth overall in 1995. Senzel’s draft stock rose dramatically after a terrific performance last summer in the Cape Cod League, where he won the MVP award and was selected as the top prospect. He followed that up with a terrific season for Vols, hitting .352 with eight homers, 59 RBIs and an SEC-leading 25 doubles along with 25 stolen bases that led the team. He could stick at third base or move to shortstop, where he played some this season. Atlanta took high school righthander Ian Anderson, who was in attendance at the draft site. The 6-foot-3, 170-pounder from Shenendehowa High School in upstate New York missed some time on the mound with a strained oblique. But his fastball sits in the 91-94 mph range and he mixes in a solid breaking pitch with terrific control. Anderson helped Team USA’s 18-and-under team win the gold medal at the World Cup in Japan last fall. At No. 4, Colorado went with fireballing Kansas high school righty Riley Pint. The 6-4, 210-pound St. Thomas Aquinas High School star throws a fastball that sits in the mid-90s, but can crank it up to 100 mph, along with an exceptional changeup, power curve

Canadian pitcher Cal Quantrill picked eighth overall by Padres Canadian right-handed pitcher Cal Quantrill, son of former Toronto Blue Jays reliever Paul Quantrill, has been selected by the San Diego Padres in the first round of the MLB draft.

Quantrill missed the entire 2016 season at Stanford after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. He made three starts for the Car-

As a freshman in 2014, Quantrill went 7-5 with a 2.68 ERA and 98 strikeouts through a team-high 110 2/3 innings. Quantrill is the second highest Canadian-born player to be selected at the MLB draft. Only three have been picked in the top 10. Surrey, B.C., native Adam Loewen went fourth overall to Baltimore in 2002 and Jeff Francis of North Delta, B.C., was picked ninth overall by Colorado, also in 2002. As a member of Canada’s junior national team from 2011-13, Quantrill helped the squad win a silver medal at the IBAF 18-under world championship in 2012. pounds, Zeuch throws in the mid-90s.

Ricciardo wants to make statement F1 CANADIAN GP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Daniel Ricciardo is back at the scene of his first Formula One victory and hopes to make a statement at the always-eventful Canadian Grand Prix. Two weeks after taking pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix, only to come second after a blunder by his pit crew, Ricciardo wants to see if his Red Bull Renault squad is ready to challenge the Mercedes AMG team of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg that has dominated the world’ top racing series since the introduction of the turbo V6 engine and energy recovery system in 2014. In the past month, 18-year-old Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix in his first race for Red Bull and Ricciardo followed with a pole and a nearwin in Monaco. They expect to be competitive again on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with its long, fast straights that head into some of the tightest, brake-testing corners in the 19-race series. “That would be a lovely way to bounce back,” Ricciardo, the 2014 Canadian GP winner, said Thursday of his chances. “But realistically, Mercedes are still going to be the ones to beat. “I expect we can be the next best. Ferrari have been there and they’ve surprised at times and have been less surprising on other occasions, so you never know. But I believe we’ll be the next in line behind Mercedes. How far behind? I’m not sure, but hopefully close enough to put some pressure on them and grab a win.” Hamilton posted his first win in six races this season in Monaco after Ricciardo, who had a comfortable lead, lost at least 10 seconds on his second pit stop and let the defending F1 champion and fourtime Canadian Grand Prix winner take the lead. The Australian was furious and it took a few days before he could get on the phone with team principal Christian Horner and engineer Simon Rennie to discuss what went wrong. He was told the team made a last-minute decision to use a different tire compound and were late getting them to the car. “Christian apologized on everyone’s behalf and explained what went down and the reasons why there was confusion and why the tires weren’t ready,” said Ricciardo. “There’ll be new software for strategy now and live stuff during the race that can

It wasn’t Red Bull’s first problem this season. At the Russian Grand Prix in May, Daniil Kyvat bumped Sebastian Vettel into Ricciardo, prompting the team drop him to what is essentially its B-team, Toro Rossi. Verstappen was promoted to Red Bull and won the next race in Barcelona, although he followed with a crash in Monaco. The recent results put Red Bull only nine points behind Ferrari in constructors’ standings, both well behind Mercedes. They are close enough to dream, however.

“I’m not looking at that yet,” said Ricciardo. “I’d love to be in position in a few races to say ‘Yeah, we can fight for a title this year.’ “It would be a pretty nice, unexpected fight and story for F1. This race will be pretty telling. If we can be competitive here, you never know. It’s still a long shot for sure. Fingers crossed that Barcelona and Monaco weren’t a one-off.” Rosberg won the first four events this year. He and Hamilton crashed on the first lap in Spain before the Briton won in Monaco. Hamilton hopes to make it two in a row at a race he won last year. Action begins with two practice sessions Friday. Qualifying is on Saturday with the race on Sunday.

NHL appeals Wideman suspension reduction to NY federal court BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The National Hockey League might be suffering buyer’s remorse after agreeing players can appeal a commissioner’s decision to an outside arbitrator. The league asked a Manhattan federal court judge Wednesday to reject the reduction of Calgary Flames deDENNIS WIDEMAN fenceman Dennis Wideman’s suspension for knocking down a linesman. An independent arbitrator reduced Wideman’s suspension from 20 games to 10 after ruling that Wideman did not intend to injure linesman Don Henderson in Jan. 27 game against the Nashville Predators. The suspension has already been served. The league noted that linesman Don Henderson suffered a concussion and other injuries and still has not been able to return to the ice. In its papers, the NHL said the limited right to appeal a Feb. 17 decision by Commissioner Gary Bettman to a neutral discipline arbitrator is a newly created right under the players’ association contract. The league said the arbitrator exceeded his authority because he was only supposed to decide whether the commissioner’s decision to impose a 20-game suspension was supported by substantial evidence. “Time and again, rather than adhering to the

limits of his authority,” the court papers said the arbitrator “substituted his ‘own version’ of events instead of analyzing whether there was ‘substantial evidence’ supporting the commissioner’s decision to affirm Mr. Wideman’s suspension.” It said the arbitrator’s ruling was “rife with examples of him applying his own brand of industrial justice,” a reference to a legal term that refers to when an arbitrator oversteps authority. The league said this is the first time it has appealed a decision to the federal court under the new arrangement. Flames officials declined comment because the case is a legal matter.

Liberals poised to reject Senate’s proposal BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

ASSISTED DYING

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government is insisting that medical assistance in dying should only be available to Canadians near death, showing no inclination to accept a Senate amendment to expand the right to those suffering from non-terminal conditions. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says the Senate amendment upsets the delicate balance the government has struck in Bill C-14 between respecting personal autonomy and protecting the vulnerable. The amendment, passed late Wednesday, knocks out the central pillar underpinning the government’s proposed new law as assisted dying. It deletes the requirement that only

those whose natural death is “reasonably foreseeable” should be eligible to seek medical help to end their lives. And it replaces the bill’s restrictive eligibility standard with the more permissive criteria set out in last year’s landmark Supreme Court ruling, which struck down the ban on medically assisted dying. “The amendment that was passed last night is a significant one,” Wilson-Raybould said Thursday. “It will broaden the regime of medical assistance in dying in this country and we have sought to ensure that we, at every step, find the right balance that is required for such a turn in direction.”

Health Minister Jane Philpott said she’s personally concerned the amendment would mean people suffering strictly from mental illnesses would be eligible for assisted dying — a group specifically excluded in Bill C-14. “We stand by the cohesiveness, the integrity of the piece of legislation that we put forward, that strikes that balance that we believe is necessary, that has had broad public support, that has been supported in a vote in the House of Commons,” Philpott said. C-14 would allow assisted dying only for consenting adults “in an advance stage of irreversible decline’ from a serious and “incurable” disease, illness or disability and for whom a natural death is “reasonably foreseeable.” That’s more restrictive than the Supreme Court’s directive that medical assistance in dying should be avail-

implemented one year after royal assent, giving institutions time to create and establish policies with input from students. “I knew it was the right thing to do,” Clark said in the letter. “It speaks to the large number of women and men who stay silent about their experiences. For over 35 years, I’ve been one of them.” Clark said the incident with the strange man was not isolated. “I remember all of the sexual advances from strangers: getting flashed, groped, spied on.” Since coming forward, she said almost every female colleague and friend has shared a similar tale, and none had spoken up. “I want women who have never said anything about sexual violence in their lives to know they are not alone,” Clark said, while urging institutions where women live, work and study to understand the breadth of the problem. The Toronto-based Canadian Women’s Foundation states half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Bestiality ruling sparks calls for stronger animalprotection laws OTTAWA — Animal-rights advocates — including a Toronto Liberal MP — say a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the bestiality acquittal of a British Columbia man underscores the need for stronger laws. WARNING: Contents may disturb some readers The high court decision Thursday narrowly defines the crime of bestiality as penetration involving a person and an animal — meaning it doesn’t cover other forms of sexual activity. At issue was whether updates to the Criminal Code in 1955 and 1988 altered the long-standing definition of the crime. “The term ‘bestiality’ has a well-established legal meaning and refers to sexual intercourse between a human and an animal,” Supreme Court Justice Thomas Cromwell wrote on behalf of the majority in the 6-1 ruling. “Penetration has always been understood to be an essential element of bestiality.” Cromwell found nothing in the legislative evolution and history that indicated a change in meaning. “Parliament may wish to consider whether the present provisions adequately protect children and animals. But it is for Parliament, not the courts, to expand the scope of criminal liability for this ancient offence.”

VANCOUVER — British Columbia Premier Christy Clark says she was 13 years old when an unknown man pulled her off the sidewalk into nearby bushes, but she broke free and ran. “It was a sunny day, and I was walking to work at my first job,” Clark wrote Thursday in a submitted article to the Vancouver Sun. “A man suddenly jumped out, grabbed me and pulled me out of sight into a deep copse of shrubs.” The man didn’t say a word and she doesn’t remember what he looked like, but she got away and “ran like the wind,” said Clark, who was not immediately available for comment. Clark drew praise from others, who say her story will help people come forward with their own accounts. “I am extremely proud of the premier for acknowledging in public her own experience,” said B.C.’s representative for children and youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. She said retelling such an event is difficult and personal. “This tells me that even in high office there’s pressure to keep quiet, forget or just frankly pretend all is fine, when it’s not.” Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps said Clark has made it easier for others to

speak. “We all, like she said, have stories like that, and they are not stories that are easy to tell for all sorts of reasons,” said Helps. “But when the premier of British Columbia stands up courageously and tells her story, it certainly makes it easier for women and in particular for young women to break that silence.” Clark said the harrowing experience occurred more than 35 years ago in her suburban Vancouver hometown of Burnaby, but she never spoke about it. The intensely personal story is one of many behind a new law enacted to prevent sexual violence and misconduct at post-secondary institutions, she said. The premier said she has wondered if the man continued his behaviour because of her silence. “I wish I’d had the courage to say something then. I do now,” she said in the letter. The province’s Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act was passed in May. The law was proposed by Green party Leader Andrew Weaver as a private member’s bill, but Clark stood in the legislature and announced her government would support it. The bill requires post-secondary institutions to implement stand-alone policies on sexual assaults. It will be

able to clearly consenting, competent adults with “grievous and irremediable” medical conditions that are causing enduring suffering that they find intolerable. The ministers did not explicitly say the government will formally reject the amendment, which is just the first of many the Senate is expected to pass. It’s up to the House of Commons to determine whether to accept or reject amendments from the upper house. But their continued defence of the bill and their dismissal of any substantive changes sets up the potential for a deadlock between the two houses of Parliament. The Senate is expected to continue debating the bill and voting on other amendments into next week.

Montreal woman killed in apparent pit bull attack

Canada

MONTREAL — A Montreal man who came home only to see a dog attacking his neighbour’s lifeless body said it was clear he’d arrived too late. Farid Benzenati arrived home from work at around 5 p.m. on Wednesday and noticed what appeared to be a pit bull playing with what he called “a large object” in the next backyard. When he took a closer look, it was clear to him the object was a woman’s body. “I yelled her name,” Benzenati said Thursday. “I saw blood, and the dog was still attacking her.” Benzenati called police but said it was clearly too late to help the woman, who was later pronounced dead on the scene. Montreal police Const. Benoit Boisselle said authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy before deciding whether to lay charges in the 55-year-old woman’s death. Although the victim had several bite marks on her body, Boisselle said it could take a few days before the cause of death is determined. The tragedy reverberated as far as Quebec City, with Premier Philippe Couillard saying the province would form a working committee to study the rules surrounding dangerous dogs.

BRIEFS ‘We fought like lions,’ Trudeau says of our soldiers as monument unveiled CFB BORDEN, Ont. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau helped unveil Canada’s newest war monument on Thursday in a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the country’s largest military base. Speaking in bright sunshine before hundreds of dignitaries, armed forces personnel and members of the public, Trudeau praised the efforts of veterans, those who have died in battle, and those who currently serve. Canada and Canadians have earned respect around the world, he said, not just because we are polite or friendly and peaceable. “The reason the world pays heed to Canada is because we fought like lions in the trenches of World War I, on the beaches of World War II, and in theatres and conflicts scattered around the globe,” Trudeau said. “We showed our ability to stand for our values, and fight and sacrifice for them in faraway places.” With the pomp and ceremony befitting the occasion, “sacred soil” from the First World War battle of Vimy Ridge brought back to Canada last year was placed in an opening in the new memorial wall to serve as a permanent reminder of, and tribute to, those whose blood drenched the killing fields in France 99 years ago. “We remember their courage and their sacrifice with a memorial that, like the resolve of Canadians themselves, survived a second world war,” Trudeau said. “Nearly a century after their loss, Canada remembers and continues to mourn.”Montreal-DogAttack, 4th Writethru

Stepmother accused in teen’s murder ‘failed’ as parent, Crown tells jury TORONTO — A woman accused of killing her stepdaughter was the architect of the girl’s misery, prosecutors argued Thursday as they recounted for a Toronto jury the harrowing starvation and abuse the teen was subjected to more than two decades ago. The assertion from the Crown was made in closing arguments at the trial of Elaine Biddersingh, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Melonie Biddersingh. The girl’s body was found in a burning suitcase in an industrial parking lot north of Toronto in 1994 but went unidentified for years until 2011, when Biddersingh told an Ontario pastor the girl had “died like a dog.”

Melonie’s father, Everton Bidderisngh, was found guilty in January of first-degree murder in his daughter’s death, but jurors at Elaine Biddersingh’s trial were instructed to disregard that conviction as “completely irrelevant” to their case. “Elaine failed in her duties as a parent,” Crown prosecutor Anna Tenhouse told the jury. “Elaine was the mastermind and Everton was the fist.” Melonie came to Canada from Jamaica in 1991 with two brothers to live with her father and her stepmother in Toronto. The trial has heard that the children, who had lived in extreme poverty, saw the move as a great opportunity that would lead to a brighter future. “Instead of dreams, that petite little girl endured abuse and in a short three and a half years she lost weight and she pined away, all at the hands of Elaine and Everton Biddersingh,” Tenhouse said.

First year of Syrian refugee resettlement program under budget OTTAWA — The first year of the Liberal government’s marquee Syrian refugee resettlement program came in about $136 million under budget, the government said Thursday. Bringing in 25,000 people between November and the end of February cost $319 million, with the biggest costs being transporting and welcoming them, figures released by the Immigration Department show. Transportation was cheaper than expected, temporary military housing was never used and neither was a contingency fund, Immigration Minister John McCallum told a House of Commons committee in explaining the cost savings. “The reason we spent dramatically less than we said we would is because we were dramatically efficient,” he said. The budget set out for the program last November was $678 million spread over six years. It was divided up into five phases — the first three focused on the identification, processing and transportation of refugees. The maximum budget for those three streams was $188 million. Those phases are over and figures released Thursday estimate $108.5 million was spent.

Spirited Mexico City BY MAYA KROTH ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES MEXICO CITY — It’s 10 p.m. on the dot when I meet the woman they call La Chaparrita (“Shorty”) and some friends at a hole-in-the-wall Oaxacan joint on a quiet corner in Mexico City’s Colonia Juarez. The place is a ghost town at this hour, the only sound coming from a refrigerator full of beer humming dully in the corner. Suddenly, the fridge door opens, as if by itself, and out tumbles a stylish if startled-looking woman, who pauses to blink away the bright lights before shouldering past our

group out into the night. Clearly, this is no ordinary taco joint. Is the beer fridge a portal to another dimension, Mexico’s answer to the Bill and Ted phone booth? If we pass through it, will we wind up trapped inside John Malkovich? “That’s the exit. The entrance is over here,” La Chaparrita says, leading us to the back of the restaurant and through a set of narrow doors that empties into an almost-pitch-black anteroom. I hear some beeping as she punches a code into a keypad mounted on the wall, then a click, and suddenly the black wall opens. “Welcome to Hanky Panky!” she exclaims,

floating a manicured hand around the room. All dim lighting, gilded mirrors and red tufted vinyl booths and bar stools, Hanky Panky is a full-blown 1920s-style speakeasy with a menu of dusted-off classic recipes and an oh-so-exclusive door policy. (La Chaparrita is an investor in the bar, and only by her invitation were we able to get in.) This hyped-up new nightspot is just one example of how things are changing for the boozier in this once-quiet pocket of Mexico City — if you know where to look. Please see SPIRITS on Page C2

TRAVEL STORIES FROM PAGE C1

SPIRITS: Quality of experience Named for Mexico’s first indigenous president, Colonia Juarez is a middle-class neighbourhood wedged between glitzy, fancy-hotel-lined Reforma Avenue to the north and artsy, bohemian La Roma to the south. Avenida de los Insurgentes, the city’s longest avenue, cuts through the middle, giving rise to La Juarez’s two distinct personalities. On the west side of Insurgentes is La Zona Rosa, which has been an important center for art and gay nightlife but now feels like a faded tourist-party zone washed in neon and thumping bass. The east side, by contrast, is quieter and more residential. Late 19th-century aristocrats once inhabited its ornate mansions and strolled its tranquil, tree-lined streets, named after fashionable European cities: Versailles, Londres, Viena, Milan. Recently, however, this part of La Juarez has seen an influx of small, craft-focused, design-minded businesses spilling over from the creative areas surrounding it. A hip new restaurant, cafe, gallery or boutique seems to open weekly. “When we moved here 20 years ago, there was nothing to do, nowhere to get a decent drink, nothing!” says Guillermina, a family friend who lets me stay in her guest room whenever I’m in town. Even when I visited a year ago, I was hard-pressed to find a well-mixed quaff in her neighborhood. But this trip is different: Though my hostess is in bed by 8 o’clock, the streets outside no longer fall asleep with her. There are finally good cocktails to be had here, and I’m on a mission to slake my thirst. ★★★ “Google says it’s right here,” I insist to Kyle and Andrea, some friends I’ve coaxed into exploring the neighborhood with me tonight. But despite what my phone says, there’s no sign of a jazz club on this corner. “Maybe the people in this diner know something,” Andrea suggests, peering through the window of what looks to be a high-design homage to an American soda fountain, where couples are eating sliders and meatloaf. I poke my head in and ask the cook: “Parker & Lenox?” He motions for us to come in, escorts us to a door in the back and points into the darkness. After fumbling to the end of a long hallway, we find ourselves inside a cavernous, dimly lit space where concrete columns and red velvet furniture surround a small stage. We’re much too early for the show, which starts close to midnight, so we pass the time by drinking our way through the cocktail menu. “Surprise me!” I tell the bow-tied bartender, who nods and gets right to swizzling and shaking, his brows knit tight in concentration. Kyle rolls his eyes at the barkeep’s studied performance, but I’m sold on the bittersweet Campari concoction he sets in front of me. A few nights later, I venture out on my own. It’s Mexico City cocktail week, and according to my little map, more than 100 bars citywide are participating, including a couple that are just up the street from Guillermina’s place. My first stop is Taberna Luciferina, housed in one of the neighborhood’s many casonas porfirianas, or large aristocratic homes built during the reign of Mexico’s late 19th-century president Porfirio Díaz, who had a thing for French architecture. I pass through an imposing iron gate and am greeted by a pair of hostesses seated behind a vintage TV set that’s been turned into a check-in desk. Inside, an open-air courtyard leads to a dramaticallylit oval-shaped bar. I pull up a stool and ask for a menu, but the woman behind the bar just hands me an old book and walks away. I flip through its pages and finally find the multi-page cocktail menu bound inside, printed in a mock-medieval

Friday, June 10, 2016 font. I order a Basilisco, made with mezcal, ancho chile liqueur, lime juice and fresh celery macerated with clove. The drink is bright, refreshing and not too sweet — just how I like it. But soon someone turns up the volume on an Adele dance remix, and I decide to seek out a mellower spot for Round 2. I wander a few streets over to Havre Cancino, a low-key pizza place tucked into what was once the basement of a turn-of-the-century mansion. I grab a table on the intimate garden patio, surrounded by lush ferns, and eye the cocktail menu, which is brief but intriguing. My drink — a mix of mezcal, ginger and a local craft beer — arrives at the table in a Mason jar. A perfect balance of tart and fizz, it makes me slow down and savor the moment, like a good nightcap should. A spring-evening breeze brushes my cheek, and I forget for a second about the blanket of smog perpetually draped over this city; tonight it feels like just me and the stars. ★★★ Back behind the beer-fridge door at Hanky Panky, Berit Jane Soli-Holt is mixing drinks in a vintage black-lace dress and delicate pearl necklace. In the three years she’s lived in Mexico City, the philosophy-PhD-turned-bartender from Denver says she’s seen the city enter a golden age of cocktails. “There’s a special quality in the air,” she says. “Customers are becoming more interested.” She insists Hanky Panky isn’t after exclusivity so much as being able to control the quality of the experience. They never let in more customers than there are seats, for example, and the music — right now “Rockin’ Robin” is playing — is kept to conversation-friendly levels. I start off with a creamy, smokysweet Morning Glory Fizz, made from hibiscus-infused Glenmorangie shaken with absinthe, grapefruit and egg white, and follow it up with the signature Hanky Panky cocktail, a mix of Martin Miller’s gin, Cinzano red vermouth and a few drops of Fernet-Branca. Our host, La Chaparrita, explains that the drink was invented by early-20th-century bartender Ada “Coley” Coleman, whose black-and-white portrait looms large over our booth in the bar’s sunken “library” lounge. Legend has it that Ada wanted to surprise her largely male clientele with an aromatic drink that smelled girly but delivered a real kick. It doesn’t disappoint. In fact, it packs such a punch that I decide to cut myself off for the night. I make the rounds with cheek-kiss goodbyes and saunter toward the exit. I stumble out to the other side, satisfied in knowing that what lies behind the beer fridge is not a portal to another dimension, but just — finally — a good, honest drink. Kroth is a travel writer based in Mexico City and California.

Staying home for the summer LOW DOLLAR AND FUEL PRICES PROMPTING CANADIANS TO EXPLORE COUNTRY THIS SUMMER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More Canadians are expected to leave their passports at home this summer and hit the road in Canada as the weak loonie and low gas prices prompt a deeper exploration of their own country. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major tourism destinations are expecting a banner year as Canadians pursue staycations and more travellers from the U.S. and abroad visit the Great White North. The Banff-Lake Louise area in Alberta is one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular destinations, attracting nearly four million visitors a year. Following a 20 per cent increase last year, Parks Canada is anticipating a seven per cent hike in visits this year, including during the busy summer season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it since the dollar took its southern route,â&#x20AC;? said Nancy Dadalt of Banff-Lake Louise Tourism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the dollar has impacted Canadians wanting to stay closer to home.â&#x20AC;? Niagara Falls, Cape Breton, Old Quebec City and Whistler make the list of top Canadian destinations each year. But there are other options, from large annual events like the Calgary Stampede to quaint small towns and tranquil lakes. Some destinations may get birthday boosts. Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CN Tower is 40 years old, and the Toronto Blue Jays are playing their 40th season. About 55 per cent of Canadians who are planning vacations this summer intend to explore Canada, up nearly seven points from a survey conducted last year, said the Conference Board of Canada. Most will take road trips, said associate director Greg Hermus. Ontario is the top destination region, followed by Quebec and British Columbia. Interest in domestic vacations is strongest in the Prairies and lowest in Ontario. Faced with a sluggish economy, fewer Albertans said they plan to take a summer vacation. Overall, 63 per cent of respondents said the depreciation of the Canadian dollar makes them less likely to travel to the U.S., while almost 58 per cent said the dollar makes them more likely to vacation within Canada. CAA Quebec says travellers are sensitive about the dollar and adjusting their vacation plans. Many are planning to spend less or take shorter vacations, according to a recent survey. The exception are millennials, with 23 per cent aged 18 to 24 saying they will go away for at least a month. A 6.2 per cent increase in consumer spending in Canada and 17.5 per cent increase in spending in Canada on credit cards issued in other countries in the first quarter is expected to continue into the summer, said Moneris, which processes credit and debit card transactions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen consistent increases in spending on things like hotels, restaurants, entertainment and attractions this year, and expect that trend to continue over the busy summer tourism season,â&#x20AC;? said chief product officer Rob Cameron. Mira van Bodegom, operator of a website devoted to quirky roadside attractions, says Canadians like her love to visit roadside diversions such as a giant

Van Bodegom and her husband have planned vacations around these stops, visiting nearly 200 in Ontario and Alberta in the past 14 years. There are more than 1,500 attractions on the website they recently took over, with followers suggesting new ones to add. Those looking for far-flung vacations can travel to the Far North for land-based excursions and Arctic cruises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going into the summer season and the Arctic is spectacular. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just starting to melt and explode in colour,â&#x20AC;? said MaryBeth McKenzie of tour operator Arctic Kingdom. With tours costing at least US$10,000 plus airfare, the trips predominantly attract the well-heeled and older customers looking to check a dream off their bucket list, she said. The Crystal Serenity, the largest cruise ship to

transit the Northwest Passage, will make its maiden voyage this summer carrying more than 1,700 passengers and crew. The trip quickly sold out even though berths started at US$20,000. McKenzie said the Arctic, regarded as the Galapagos of the North, attracts visitors from around the world seeking encounters with underwater creatures, polar bears and icebergs as well as cultural interactions with Inuit. While interest is up, she said people are slower to commit this year because of the weak global economy and the switch to pricing trips in U.S. dollars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Canadians, it can be challenging when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having to purchase something in your own country in a foreign currency,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Travellers facing longer security lines at airports BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadians risk flight delays and even longer airport security lines unless Ottawa boosts screening funding to address growing passenger levels, industry experts are warning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is on the cusp of being a real problem, with serious, serious delays,â&#x20AC;? says John Gibson, chairman of the Canadian Airports Council. Canadian airports arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently facing the chronic disruptions that are increasingly angering U.S. passengers. Still, lines have steadily grown over the last few years as Canadian funding hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kept pace with the 21 per cent increase in passenger growth over the last five years. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) says, on average, it screens 85 per cent of passengers within 15 minutes. But waits can be much longer at some large airports during peak travel times, with additional pressure potentially coming during the rush of summer travel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the number of passengers is growing by 3.5 per cent each year. If nothing is done to address the bigger volumes, Gibson said, passenger waits could regularly reach an hour. The number of security screeners has in the past fluctuated depending on the size of government funding. More than 6,000 agents screened 58 million passengers last year. The agency says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing the best it can with the resources itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provided by the government. An extra $29 million in the Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first budget will help to maintain the current threshold this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the long-term funding that we have right now, if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get additional funding then, yes (lines will be longer),â&#x20AC;? said spokesman Mathieu Larocque. Passenger complaints associated with longer wait times have been growing, CATSA said in its 2015 annual report. Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pearson International Airport, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest, said it is also hearing from passengers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we see passenger growth across the country, most airports are seeing more passengers and that

puts a greater demand on the system,â&#x20AC;? said spokeswoman Erin Kennedy. Transport Minister Marc Garneau said he got an earful about wait times during one of three roundtables heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held on proposed changes to the Canada Transportation Act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the system is working well. The only knock that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing is some people feel it takes too long to go through,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a traveller myself, I occasionally experience that.â&#x20AC;? The minister said it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;prematureâ&#x20AC;? to comment on the 60 recommendations from former cabinet minister David Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report or advice heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing from consultations, but said he plans to make specific proposals for change this fall. The public can participate in consultations on Facebook on June 15 in French and June 16 in English. CATSA is funded from the Air Travellers Security Charge applied after the 2001 terrorist attacks to all flights. Originally created as a revenue-neutral way to fund airport security, the charge generates about $120 million a year more in revenues than is allocated to CATSA. Relying entirely on passengers to fund airport security is a departure from other countries and other forms of transit, Air Canada wrote in a submission to Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s panel. In the United States, passengers

pay only 30 per cent of security costs, with government funding 63 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To ensure the aviation industry can reach its growth potential, the government should reinvest these funds into the industry, instead of directing the revenue elsewhere,â&#x20AC;? the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest carrier wrote. It called for Canadian fees to be lowered to match U.S. competitors, or at the very least ensure fees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed the cost of providing the service. The Montreal-based airline joined others in calling for mandated service levels. Large global airports like London Heathrow and Hong Kong are required to process 95 per cent of passengers within five minutes. Emerson backed many industry proposals, urging the government to reduce the security charge and provide its own funds. He also called for wait time limits to be mandated, and for Canada to change its approach to screening by focusing on passengers that pose the biggest threat rather than treating everyone the same. He said CATSA has been reluctant to adopt technology and highlighted the TSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-check program in the U.S. that streamlines screening for trusted travellers.

WALK FOR ASPIRE 2016

The 4nd annual Walk for Aspire, presented by Lakestone Insurance Brokers, was held on Saturday, May 28th, and this year we were lucky to have very sunny skies for our big day! Over 120 parents, grandparents, children, and friends gathered at Parkland School to “Walk for Aspire” through the trails and around the park. After the walk, all participants were treated to a BBQ lunch, provided by ATCO Gas, Olymel, and The Tasty Bakery. The kiddos also enjoyed bouncy castles, and facepainting. The Walk for Aspire serves as both a fundraiser for Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre, as well as an opportunity for parents of children with special needs to connect with one another. All money raised through the Walk for Aspire will go directly to Aspire programs, services, and scholarships for children with special needs right here in Red Deer and Central Alberta. These proceeds help us to fulfill our mission of providing hope to children with special needs, the families who love them, and the communities that care for them. Over $2,000 was raised with the help of presenting sponsor, Lakestone Insurance Brokers, as well as other generous community businesses and individuals. KG Country/ZED 99 was on site the day of the event, and a supportive crew of Best Buy employees also showed up in their blue work shirts to walk alongside families and enjoy the sunny day. Robyn Bagley and a dedicated group of Aspire Moms have organized this event for the past four years so that families could connect outside the Aspire building, and raise funds for the place that supported their families and helped their children. A sincere thank you to ATCO Gas, Caleb Cameron, KG Country/ZED99, Alisha & Joel Johnson, Little Jon’s Portable Toilet Services, Olymel, Heather Reynolds, The Tasty Bakery, Danielle & Chris Woods, our Parent Organizing Committee, our dedicated volunteers, and everyone who came out to support Aspire!

Malaria proof mosquito? TOOL PROMISING BUT NEEDS MORE STUDY GENE DRIVES BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A powerful new technology holds the promise of rapidly altering genes to make malaria-proof mosquitoes, eliminate their Zikacarrying cousins or wipe out an invasive species, but a report Wednesday says these “gene drives” aren’t ready to let loose in the wild just yet. Advisers to the government say lots more research is needed to learn to safely use gene drives and understand the ecological and social consequences of essentially hijacking evolution, spreading genetic changes through populations of insects, animals or certain plants faster than nature. And the public, around the world, needs a say in whether and how gene drives eventually are used, especially because some may be intended for lowincome countries, stressed the National Academies of Sciences, Engineer and Medicine. “Public engagement cannot be an afterthought,” said Vanderbilt University medical ethicist Elizabeth Heitman, who co-chaired the National Academies’ committee. Gene drives are on the horizon. Already, a California lab has hatched mosquitoes that spread a malaria-blocking gene every time they reproduce. Researchers say it should be possible to eliminate populations of another mosquito — the kind that spreads the Zika virus and dengue fever — by making them sterile. Similarly, gene drives one day might be used to wipe out invasive species such as invasive rodents that devastate native plants and animals on many of the world’s islands, without toxic chemicals. Or they might help reverse pesticide resistance in a cropsuffocating weed. “The gene drive approach could offer a safer, less expensive and more lasting solution” to many problems, said National Academies’ committee member Jason Delborne, an associate professor of science, policy and society at North Carolina State University. But the report called for cautious, phased-in research given questions about the technology’s impact. It said gene drives should be studied first in laboratories before moving to tightly controlled field trials — in greenhouses, screened cages or even on remote islands, to lower any risk of escape — to help determine if organisms modified in this unique way ever should be released into the environment. The National Institutes of Health, which requested the report, welcomed the findings. “This approach to potential irreversible modification of the genome of an entire species is breathtaking,” said NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins. But the call for cautious research “seems to strike the right balance, given both the exciting potential of this technology and uncertainty about its ecological impact,” he added. Don’t confuse gene drives with the many other genetic technologies that scientists have long used, the panel cautioned. For example, a biotech firm wants to test in the Florida Keys mosquitoes altered to produce offspring that can’t survive outside of a lab. That alteration used traditional genetic engineering, meaning any population decline would be slower and more controllable than if gene drives had been used. What’s the difference? Normally, genes have a 50-50 chance of being inherited. Gene drives bias that inheritance, allowing scientists to genetically modify an organism to carry a particular trait and then ensure it spreads to virtually all its offspring. It only works in certain kinds of fast-reproducing species, but it means entire populations could be affected in only a few generations. Scientists have known this occasionally happens in nature as some species inherit certain genes at higher-than-expected rates. For half a century, they’ve tried to harness that biological power. But recently, that research has surged thanks to a gene-editing technique named CRISPR that allows precise editing of DNA in living cells. No one knows how rapidly altering entire populations could affect habitats. What if wiping out invasive species lets something worse fill that empty niche? What happens if an alteration spreads to an unintended species? Moreover, gene drives would spread with no regard for national borders, the panel warned. It called for international scientific and regulatory collaboration, and noted that even in the United States, it’s not clear who’s in charge. Consider those island rodents: Would a gene drive in a mouse be governed as an animal drug by the Food and Drug Administration, or a rodent poison by the Environmental Protection Agency, or a plant pest by the Agriculture Department? Some leading researchers already are tackling these concerns. At the University of California-Irvine, molecular biologist Anthony James hopes to begin field trials of his malaria-proof mosquitoes in a few years and is working on the science, regulatory and ethical steps needed so that “people agree we’ve done it right way.” Massachusetts Institute of Technology gene-drive pioneer Kevin Esvelt praised the recommendations, but also urges researchers to publicly disclose all their experiments. “Gene drive systems are intrinsically about altering the shared environment. We should at the very least have the courtesy to inform people what is being planned, and let them voice their opinions, before we begin,” he said.

FITNESS FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 2016

ON TOP OF THE WORLD CRYSTAL RHYNO RUNNING WITH RHYNO Running down a mountain carrying a yoga mat is as awkward as it gets. This past Sunday, I joined my pal Karen Jaques and Breeze Yoga Red Deer for a mountain top yoga session. It was one of my “What the heck, let’s do it moments. The plan was to hike up Coliseum Mountain before an hour-long gentle flow yoga class on the peak. My legs were stiff from Saturday’s training in Kananaskis Country but I did not want to pass up on a new adventure. We met at the yoga studio in Gasoline Alley before our convoy hit the highway. Travelling west on Hwy 11, the drive takes about two hours. I’m not too familiar with this area as I tend to take the beaten path in Kananaskis to train. My drive was uneventful but one driver hit a deer on the highway, which had to be put down by a wildlife officer. It wasn’t the best way to start our day. After a quick stop in Nordegg, we made our way to the trailhead. (To reach the mountain, take the first right on Hwy 11 onto Shunda Creek Road after Nordegg.) Here’s some history for you – Coliseum Mountain was once home to the first fire lookout in Alberta. The name refers to the rocky amphitheatre on its southwest aspect, reminiscent of the coliseums of ancient Rome. It is also known as “mountain with a cap.” Breanna Stutheit, Breeze Yoga owner and yoga instructor, gave a briefing and safety talk at the base. She also handed out dried fruit and small bottles of water. The hike is roughly 14k return with 680 metres (2,250 feet) in elevation gain. There were about 20 people in our group. Yoga mats were fastened to their medium to large hiking bags. I wore my running hydration vest and carried my yoga mat. Karen and I seeded ourselves near the front of the group. The hike leader said it should take us about two and a half hours to reach the summit. The first 4K or so of the hike takes you through forested switchbacks. It can be challenging for the unfit or the untrained. But if you take it slow, it is doable at any fitness level. Remember it is only 4K of your life. The switchbacks will lead you to a sweet ridge walk and a perfect spot to stop for photos (and catch your breath). I think the ridge walk is my favourite part because you can see the domed peak of Coliseum Mountain and there’s that element of danger – slipping on the scree and falling to your death. Before we started the yoga we handed over our water bottles so our hike leader could brew hot tea. It was the perfect day. Mother Nature kept the winds at bay so we didn’t have to worry about our mats blowing over the mountain. Karen, Suzanne Forbes and I set our mats down together. The three of us chatted about everything from kombucha-making to social media. Breanna led us through a relaxed yoga class, opening up all those areas that tightened up on the 2.5 hour hike. Karen, who recently received her yoga teacher certification, stepped in to help with adjustments. We laughed, drank tea and took in the beauty of it all. What a wonderful experience. I left the group to run down the mountain. The whole way up I kept thinking, I can’t wait to fly. It took me less than an hour to reach the bottom. One hiker kept pace with me. I couldn’t understand how he was keeping up. Were we racing? I figured it out when I heard some rustling in the trees. He was taking short cuts. I know this because I asked him in the parking lot. He laughed, “Yes I had to win.” Damn. We were racing.

WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT

Noel D’Arcy came up short in his

attempt to set a world record for the fastest marathon while wearing a full firefighter’s uniform. It was the boots that “kicked me in the ass,” laughed the Olds volunteer firefighter. D’Arcy regulated his body temperature by pouring a pitcher of ice water down his jacket, which got up to about 50C, at every aid station. But the 30-year-old could do nothing about the boots, which lacked the flexibility in the calf area that most running shoes boast. “Literally they forced you stand straight up. I looked like C-3PO from Star Wars,” said D’Arcy. “It was a lot harder than I expected. I think at 12K or 13K in my quads locked up. My calves locked up. My knees starting locking up. It went south from there. I turned to the guy pacing me, I said the record was out of question today but I wanted to finish it no matter what.” D’Arcy finished in 5:25:03. The world record is 3:41:10, which was set by an Irish runner in June 2014. “It was a struggle,” he said. “When I got to about 30K, it was like run, then stop. I had to massage my legs to get my legs going again. It was a constant to the finish. It was tough. It was very tough.” Now it’s back to the drawing board for D’Arcy. The Olds runner will give the world record another attempt but he is not sure when and where yet. He wants to try within the next 18 months or two years. Next up for D’Arcy is the Sinister 7 Ultra (161K) July 9 in Crowsnest Pass and next year he signed up for the Calgary Marathon’s 150K race.

the entire length of the race,” he said. He finished in 10:17:07, well under his stretch goal of 10:30. “I was ecstatic with my time and the last few kilometers were a bit emotional when I realized that yes I am going to finish,” he said.

MacIsaac plans to hike the West Coast Trail in August with wife Danielle and friends. Find Running with Rhyno on Facebook and @CrystalRhyno on Twitter. Send your column ideas, photos and stories to crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com.

At the Blackfoot 45K mark, if you would have asked Perry Mill if he would sign up for another 50k, his answer would have been a resounding “No.” But now days later the 55-year-old Red Deer runner has changed his tune. “Honestly I was just happy to finish,” said Mill. “I didn’t even check my time. I didn’t even check my Garmin. It’s over and done. The whole experience was great. It was hard but it was good. I would do it again for sure.” Mill conquered the mud and humidity to finish the Blackfoot 50K Ultra in 7:20, good enough for 106 place out of 151 finishers. Next up for Mill is the Great White North half Ironman in Stony Plain next month. He’ll also be staying local and running the Troubled Monk’s 10K race on June 18 in Red Deer.

Beyonce steals show as surprise honoree at fashion awards the form of a letter she’d written to the singer, telling him he was being honoured “for all your colours, all your magic, all your vim and vigour.” “This is a good thing: You have brought out the freak in everyone,” Swinton said. Her tribute was followed by a performance of Bowie’s song “Changes” by actor Michael C. Hall, a star of Bowie’s musical, “Lazarus.” And another recently departed rock legend was also memorialized in Monday’s ceremony: Prince, who received a musical tribute from Jennifer Hudson to close out the show, including a rousing rendition of his song “Let’s Go Crazy.” There was one brief, but enthusiastic reference to politics, when Vogue editor Anna Wintour took the stage to present the International Award to Alessandro Michele of Gucci.

NEW YORK — In a surprise appearance, Beyonce strode onstage in sparkling pinstripes Monday evening to speak emotionally about both family and fashion at the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America awards ceremony. “As long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life,” the pop superstar, who was honoured with the Fashion Icon award, told a glittery crowd of designers, TV stars and other celebrities. She went on to recount how her grandmother had been a seamstress, and then passed that skill on to Beyonce’s mother. “When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels, they didn’t really want to dress four black, country curvy girls,” she said. “And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother … used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams.” She spoke of wearing her first costumes, which her mother and uncle had designed and sewn, “putGALAXY CINEMAS RED DEER ting so much passion and 357-37400 HWY 2, RED DEER COUNTY 403-348-2357 love into every detail.” It felt, she said, “like an exSHOWTIMES FOR FRIDAY JUNE 10, 2016 TO tra suit of armour.

Festival style has become creatively oppressing ‘COME ON, KIDS! ISN’T IT TIME TO MOVE ON FROM A LOOK THAT HAS BECOME A CLICHE — AT BEST, BORING, AND AT WORST, DESPERATE?’

BY SARAH HALZACK ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

be enough - now, we’re shelling out for floor-skimming fringe skirts and adhesive face gems that beg for attention. You could argue that there’s something about an outdoor music show that makes us nostalgic for the grandaddy of the format, Woodstock, which dwells in our collective imagination as a symbol of youth, freedom and sensuality. But today’s festivals claim a far more sprawling and wide-ranging roster of performers than the landmark 1969 concert. If we don’t feel the need to emulate Woodstock with the sound of the music, why can’t we stop doing it with the clothes? Of course, the rise of festival style has come at the same time that we are spending more time glued to Twitter, Snapchat and perhaps most crucially, Instagram. We’re not only bombarded with enviable images of halter-topped celebrities frolicking

in the mud and sun; we’re using these apps to telegraph something about our own lifestyle -- to portray ourselves as the sort of vibrant, adventurous person who might be brave enough to don a crochet bikini and denim hot pants. Social media has ensured we can’t escape the siren call of festival style - and also gives us a platform to prove that we’re in the know about it. But here’s the irony: In recent years, younger millennials have abandoned once-popular logo brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters and Aeropostale, deeming the look tired and formulaic. They want to stand out, not fit in. By jumping on the festival style bandwagon, though, they’ve just chosen a formula of a different kind. Let’s face it: Festival style is about as unoriginal as it gets. And frankly, it’s kind of illogical: In

theory, you bought a ticket to a concert so you could enjoy some music, some beer, and, if things go especially well, maybe some tipsy dancing with an attractive stranger. Why should you have to dress like anyone but yourself to do that? And isn’t it a little uncool to look like you spent so much time on your outfit? Full disclosure: I wore a rhinestone-encrusted Esprit tank top to a Nelly concert in high school, because, hey, the bling seemed much more appropriate than my one of my numerous Gap V-neck fleeces. Nothing wrong with dressing for the occasion; nothing wrong with reaching for a little flare. But festival style, ostensibly an ode to free-spirited non-conformity, has just become creatively oppressing. So as you start planning your outfit for the summer concert circuit, maybe try a real out-of-the-box approach. Even if for you, that means wearing khakis. Sarah Halzack is The Washington Post’s national retail reporter. She has previously covered the local job market and the business of talent and hiring. She has also served as a Web producer for business and economic news.

Check your Instagram or Facebook feed over the next several days, and you’re bound to catch a glimpse of these nouveau flower-children. Maybe Gigi Hadid will be seen grooving in a tassled poncho layered over an embroidered bralette. Maybe paparazzi will snap Kylie Jenner pairing studded cowboy boots with a crown of flowers and a whimsical wig. Or maybe your cool friend from college will post a snap of herself dancing in the Mojave Tent in a knee-grazing open-weave caftan. It’s an aesthetic that’s come to be known as “festival style,” and, somehow, it’s become the millennial uniform for going to outdoor concerts. These looks are not just ‘70s-inspired; in many cases, they are practically costumes, looks intended to come across as easy-breezy mellow as an Eagles’ groupie circa 1974 -- yet so deliberately styled you can’t possibly imagine them being worn to the grocery store or on a Starbucks run. (OK, fine, maybe you could imagine Vanessa Hudgens wearing them for those purposes. But she’s an outlier.)

Housing prices ‘unsustainable’ SOARING PRICES IN VANCOUVER AND TORONTO CAN’T LAST: BANK OF CANADA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada delivered a warning Thursday that surging housing prices in the hot markets of Vancouver and Toronto are rising at an unsustainable clip. Governor Stephen Poloz cautioned that those climbing real estate prices have outpaced local economic fundamentals like job creation, immigration and income growth. The central bank’s decision to weigh in this week on what has been STEPHEN POLOZ a long-running concern came after it saw growing evidence those markets were fuelled by “self-reinforcing” expectations among prospective buyers and lenders, Poloz said. The bank’s concern is that people believe the price trajectory will continue to point skyward. “You have to admit (there’s) the possibility that the price could actually decline in these circumstances,” Poloz told a news conference in Ottawa after the release of the bank’s semi-annual assessment on the state of Canada’s financial stability. “But we’re not predicting that or anything. “We’re just saying the risk that that could happen — whatever number it is — is growing as we sit here.” The Bank of Canada’s document noted year-over-year house price growth in the greater Vancouver area hit 30 per cent last month, up from 15 per cent in December. In Toronto, the report said prices increased 15 per cent, compared to 10 per cent six months ago. Vulnerabilities linked to greater imbalances in regional housing markets and the continued rise of household debt were higher than they were six months ago, the bank said in its latest financial system review. While the probability of a trigger, such as a severe recession, remains low, the bank said the severity of such an event has increased since its December assessment. Going forward, Poloz said the longer these risks prevail, the bigger impact they could have. “It’s not as though there’s been some sudden change or anything like that, but all of the evidence continues to accumulate,” he said. The central bank became the latest to voice concerns about real estate overvaluation in Canada. Earlier this month, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development urged Ottawa to introduce new measures to reduce some of the risk associated with soaring home prices and household debt levels in Toronto and Vancouver. In April, the Canada Mortgage and

Housing Corp. said prices in several cities didn’t match with their economic fundamentals. The central bank’s warning Thursday comes as the federal government faces pressure to address expanding household indebtedness and rising prices, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver. On Wednesday, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Ottawa was conducting an in-depth examination of real estate markets to determine what measures might be necessary to ensure Canadians can still afford to buy homes. Morneau did not specify what sort of changes the government was considering or how soon it may introduce them. Over the winter, he increased the minimum down payment for homes over $500,000 to 10 per cent from five per cent, a measure aimed specifically at cooling off the Toronto and Vancouver markets. It was one of several mortgage rule changes the government has made in recent years. Asked about Ottawa’s rule tweaks, Poloz said he believes they have helped make the system more resilient. “We can’t point to what the market would have been without those things,” he said. “But we can say with a fair bit of certainty that all that sequence of changes, starting several years ago, has succeeded in adding more buffering to the system.” Morneau added that Ottawa is also examining whether there is any evidence to support the notion held by some that foreign buyers are driving up home prices. In its report Thursday, the Bank of Canada said foreign demand has contributed to price growth in Vancouver and Toronto, which in turn has boosted overall household indebtedness. The bank noted, however, that it’s difficult to measure the impact of foreign investment on the housing market. Carolyn Wilkins, the bank’s senior deputy governor, said Thursday that data on foreign investment in Canada’s housing sector is “particularly poor,” though some research has shown it is adding to market demand. Wilkins also pointed to an unanswered question: if there’s an adverse shock, would foreign owners sell? Overall, the bank said the level of risk to Canada’s financial system was largely unchanged from six months ago because the higher household vulnerabilities come with the backdrop of an ongoing economic recovery. The report, which examines vulnerabilities and risks to the financial system, also highlighted other persistent concerns. It pointed to the continued presence of fragile fixed-income market liquidity as a key vulnerability in the overall financial system, while it repeats the risks of a sharp increase in long-term interest rates, stress from emerging markets like China and prolonged weakness in commodity prices.

Owning a home increasingly a pipe dream for house-hunters in Toronto, Vancouver BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Lyndall Schumann and her husband have been living frugally and saving since finishing their undergraduate degrees. But even with a hefty down payment, buying their three-bedroom semi-detached house in Toronto earlier this year required a bit of good fortune. “We got lucky because it was an estate sale and it was a family that had been here for 50 years, and they kind of wanted it to go to another family,” Schumann said in an interview. Unlike many house sales in Toronto, she added, her house “didn’t go for a crazy amount over the asking price.” The home was listed for $800,000, but Schumann declined to say how much more they paid. Until the graduate student completes her training to become a psychologist in two years, Schumann acknowledges the family budget will be strained. “Especially with daycare, it is a stretch,” Schumann said, noting that her one-year-old son will start in the fall when she begins a residency program. Soaring home prices in Toronto and Vancouver are testing levels of affordability not seen since the early 1990s, when the country was in a recession and mortgage rates were north of 10 per cent. “In Toronto, we’re not as bad as

1990, but we’re not that far from it either,” said Robert Hogue, senior economist at the Royal Bank. In Toronto, home ownership costs — including mortgage payments, utilities and property taxes — for a single detached home were 71.4 per cent of the median household income. The average for the city since 1985 is 55.5 per cent, according to Royal Bank. Hogue notes that home ownership in Vancouver has always been an expensive proposition, but prices in recent months go “well beyond” what can be explained by a relatively robust local economy. “Vancouver, I think I would say, is in a different league,” he said. “It is probably among a select group of global cities where home prices are not connected to the local economic fundamentals.” RBC’s measure of affordability put the cost of a single detached house in Vancouver at 109 per cent of the median income in the fourth quarter of last year, meaning the costs are more than a typical household’s pre-tax income. Essentially, that means owning a detached home in the city is all but impossible for most people. In markets outside Vancouver and Toronto, home ownership remains within reach for the average household. Low interest rates have helped offset the rise in home prices in smaller cities across the country and kept monthly mortgage payments in check. Outside of the two hottest markets, RBC’s affordability measure is generally close to the historical average, and recent trends have been either stable or improving slightly. In Ottawa, home ownership costs for a single-family detached home in the fourth quarter took up 36.5 per cent of a typical household’s pre-tax income.

Wall pushing pipeline on trip through Central, Eastern Canada ENERGY EAST BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is taking his push for the Energy East pipeline to a place where it may not be welcome — Quebec. Wall is to be in Montreal next Thursday to discuss the pipeline and other matters with Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. Wall asked for the meeting, but will not be giving a speech. The Saskatchewan premier is also to travel next week to Toronto and Saint John to speak in support of the $15.7-billion project proposed by TransCanada (TSX:TRP). Wall says it’s important to spread the message about the pipeline’s benefits. “Our problem has been that we haven’t taken every opportunity we could to speak across the country and build support for the sector and for things like Energy East,” Wall said Thursday at the legislature in Regina. The project has run into stiff opposition in Quebec where politicians, citizens and environmentalists are question whether the ecological risks outweigh the economic rewards. On social media, Wall has been at odds with mayors from the Montreal area who oppose Energy East. Wall has pointed out the pipeline is expected to generate $55 billion in economic benefits for Canada, including $4.3 billion in Saskatchewan and $9.3 billion in Quebec. The company says the line would

transport more than a million barrels of western Canadian oil a day to refineries in Eastern Canada and a marine terminal in New Brunswick. On Wednesday, the premier was in Calgary and told the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada that the energy industry is losing the public relations battle against environmentalists and needs to redouble efforts to get out its side of the story. Wall said the industry needs to do a better job of promoting the benefits it provides and has to continue to ask questions of its critics. He said Thursday that he’ll be blunt in his defence of Energy East. “I’m going to continue to be very direct because we perhaps were a bit flat-footed — the broader ‘we,’ the energy sector and those in leadership in provinces where the oil sector is important — in the past.” The premier also said the Fort McMurray fire that forced the shutdown of several oilsands operations highlights the connection between Canada’s economy and the energy sector. He said he’ll point out on his tour that the Bank of Canada recently predicted the fire will shave 1.25 percentage points off economic growth in the second quarter of 2016. “That’s remarkable,” said Wall. “And that underscores our message that this sector is … very important to the country. It’s why (an economic) recovery that many feel should probably have been more robust across Canada in other sectors, if not the resource sector, has been slow and anemic.

Your phone may soon sense everything around you BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Suppose your smartphone is clever enough to grasp your physical surroundings — the room’s size, the location of doors and windows and the presence of other people. What could it do with that info? We’re about to get our first look. On Thursday, Lenovo will give consumers their first chance to buy a phone featuring Google’s 3-year-old Project Tango, an attempt to imbue machines with a better understanding about what’s around them. Location tracking through GPS and cell towers tells apps where you are, but not much more. Tango uses software and sensors to track motions and size up the contours of rooms, empowering Lenovo’s new phone to map building interiors. That’s a crucial building block of a promising new frontier in “augmented reality,” or the digital projection of lifelike images and data into a real-life environment. If Tango fulfills its promise, furniture shoppers will be able to download digital models of couches, chairs and coffee tables to see how they would look in their actual living rooms. Kids studying the Mesozoic Era would be able to place a virtual Tyrannosaurus or Velociraptor in their home or classroom — and even take selfies with one. The technology would even know when to display information about an artist or a scene depicted in a painting as you stroll through a museum. Tango will be able to create internal maps of homes and offices on the fly. Google won’t need to build a mapping database ahead of time, as it does with existing services like Google Maps and Street View. Nonetheless, Tango could raise fresh concerns about privacy if controls aren’t stringent enough to prevent the on-the-fly maps from being shared with unauthorized apps or heisted by hackers. Lenovo announced its plans for the Tango phone in January, but Thursday will mark the first time that the company is showing the device publicly. At the Lenovo Tech World conference in San Francisco, the Chinese company is expected to announce the phone’s price and release date. The efforts come as phone sales are slowing. People have been holding off on upgrades, partly because they haven’t gotten excited about the types of technological advances hitting the market during the past few years. Phones offering intriguing new technology could help spur more sales.

The smartphone will be clever enough to grasp physical surroundings, such as a room’s size and the presence of other people, and potentially transform how we interact with e-commerce, education and gaming. Tapping Google’s 3-year-old Project Tango, the new phone will use software and sensors to track motions and map building interiors, including the location of doors and windows But Tango’s room-mapping technology is probably still too abstract to gain mass appeal right away, says Ramon Llamas, an analyst at the IDC research group. “For most folks, this is still a couple steps ahead of what they can wrap their brains around, so I think there’s going to be a long gestation period,” Llamas says. Other smartphones promising quantum leaps

have flopped. Remember Amazon’s Fire phone released with great fanfare two years ago? That souped-up phone featured four front-facing cameras and a gyroscope so some images could be seen in three dimensions. The device also offered a tool called Firefly that could be used to identify objects and sounds. But the Fire fizzled, and Amazon no longer even sells the phone.

Gender diversity proposal rejected by shareholders of RBI TIM HORTONS AND BURGER KING BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OAKVILLE, Ont. — A proposal to create a formal diversity policy at the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King aimed at increasing the number of women on its all-male board of directors has been rejected. Oceanrock Investments Inc. and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) asked the company to write a formal diversity policy and inform shareholders how and when it intends to increase the number of women on its board of directors and in senior management positions. Oceanrock Investments, which said it owns nearly 19,000 RBI shares, acted on behalf of the Meritas Jantzi social index fund. Before Tim Hortons and Burger King merged

and became RBI in late 2014, a quarter of the Tim Hortons board was comprised of women, according to the shareholder proposal. Now RBI’s 11-person board of directors is all male. The proposal asked RBI to complete the policy and update shareholders by December 2016. While there are many benefits to increasing gender diversity on corporate boards, including the potential for better shareholder returns, that wasn’t the sole reason for the proposal, Fred Pinto, OceanRock Investment’s CEO, said while presenting the proposal at the company’s annual general meeting on Thursday. “We did this quite simply because it’s the right thing to do,” he said. Other shareholders voted to reject the proposal. The result wasn’t unexpected, Pinto said in an interview following the vote. The group will now wait

New report on child labour raises call for supply chain transparency law BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A new report says Canadian consumers may be unwittingly buying goods made by child labourers. And those who want to make ethical buying decisions are largely in the dark about what companies are doing to prevent child labour in their supply chains, says the World Vision Canada report to be released today. The organization is calling for a new law to force companies that do business in Canada to report annually on the measures they take to ensure that factories in other countries aren’t using minors to make products for the Canadian marketplace. Similar legislation exists in other jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom and California the U.S. Congress is reviewing a proposed federal law. “There is an opportunity here for Canada to get on board,” said Simon Lewchuk, who has been heading up the initiative for World Vision Canada. “It’s an issue of promoting the Canadian brand for responsible business it’s an opportunity to ensure that we are competitive too.” Lewchuk said transparency legislation would be a way to pressure companies into doing more to prevent child labourers from working on goods made overseas. “The legislation is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. The hope is simply by requiring companies to report on this, that will then be the basis of a better dialogue between consumers, investors and these companies.” The recommendation is one of several in the report, which comes one day after Canada ratified an International Labour Organization convention on child labour that proclaims the minimum age for work should be 15. The organization has been pushing the federal government for more than a year to craft transparency legislation. As a first step, Lewchuk said the government should set up a working group made up of representatives from civil society groups, businesses, and investors to develop recommendations on new legislation.

Government documents obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act show federal officials raised the idea last year to then-labour minister Kellie Leitch, writing that if there was a trend among allies to have transparency laws, it would “present an opportunity for Canada to show leadership by examining the possibility of adopting a similar legislation.” Labour Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk said the government would have to study any proposal before crafting a new law. “We don’t have child labour here, but some companies may use child labour somewhere along their supply chain,” she said in an interview ahead of ratifying the ILO convention. Mihychuk said some multinational companies based in Canada already disclose information as part of a corporate social responsibility agenda. Among those companies is apparel manufacturer Gildan, named in the World Vision Canada report as a model for other companies. The Quebec-based company regularly runs surprise audits of overseas factories: In 2015, it ran 337 such audits to ensure the minimum working age in factories is 18, and that workers have adequate compensation, benefits, and hours of work. The results are posted online for consumers to read. Peter Iliopoulos, the company’s senior vice-president of corporate affairs, said the company sees the work as key to their business strategy and brand image. “It gives the assurance to our customers, and our customers’ customers… that they’re buying a product of superior quality that’s manufactured under the highest level of social compliance and environmental compliance practices in the industry,” he said.

to see how many independent shareholders supported their proposal as more detailed results are released in the next few days. The board had declined to make a recommendation on how shareholders should vote, but did amend its new director nomination process to consider diverse candidates in response to the proposal. These are more general steps, Pinto said, and he would like to see RBI take more specific action, including presenting a timeline for gender diversity inclusion. Gender diversity on corporate boards in Canada has become a source of tension between shareholders and companies. BCE Inc.’s shareholders voted down a similar proposal at their annual general meeting earlier this year, and a Dollarama shareholder brought up concerns over the lack of women in leadership positions at that company’s meeting earlier this week. Pinto plans to take a wait-and-see approach before determining whether to reintroduce the issue at next year’s RBI annual general meeting.

DOLLAR MARKETS TORONTO — Stock markets in Toronto and New York settled in the red Thursday as traders took a step back from recent rallies and instead sought refuge in the safe haven of gold. On Bay Street, the S&P/ TSX composite index declined 73.08 points to 14,240.02, weighed down by falling energy, consumer staples and metals and mining stocks. It was a similar picture on Wall Street, as the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 19.86 points at 17,985.19, while the broader S&P 500 composite index dipped 3.64 points to 2,115.48. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite lost 16.02 points to 4,958.62. The August gold contract rose by $10.40 to US$1272.70 an ounce. “The shift in expectation that the (U.S. Federal Reserve) will keep rates as they are, in extraordinarily low circumstances for some time, builds up inflation expectations down the road and sends investors to gold as a hedge against inflation — effectively a hedge against the Federal Reserve continuing to keep rates at low levels,” said Scott Smith, senior market analyst at Cambridge Global Payments. Last Friday’s jobs figures in the U.S. surprised the market by coming in surprisingly weak for May. This week, Fed chair Janet Yellen played down the figures, but also hinted that the central bank has not unequivocally decided it will hike rates in June. The Fed raised its key policy rate for the first time in nearly a decade in December and had hinted that there were several more hikes in store before the end of this year. Many traders had expected a raise to happen

this month, but now many are predicting July or even September before any movement happens. Smith said investors believe that the U.S. economy is showing signs of continued improvement, and that perhaps, the jobs figures were an anomaly. The U.S. dollar is making back some of the ground it lost earlier this week. The loonie fell Thursday, down 0.10 of a U.S. cent at 78.66 cents US. Smith forecasts that equities will continue to rise, even if the Fed decides to raise interest rates because investors will read that as a clear direction. “Something that is lacking in financial markets is a lack of certainty,” he said. “With the Fed being so data dependent and their message changing on every incoming data point, there is not a lot of certainty. It’s been hard for corporations to make business investments, expand. That’s why global growth is depressed at the moment.” In other commodities, the July crude contract was down 67 cents at US$50.56 per barrel, still near a 2016 high. Natural gas contracts for July were up 15 cents at nearly US$2.62 per mmBTU and July copper contracts fell two cents to US$2.04 a pound.

U.S. production rise expected to dent Canadian natural gas price growth BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Lower prices and increasing competition from the United States are expected to add to the woes of Canadian natural gas producers over the summer, but the picture then brightens, according to a report from the National Energy Board. The federal agency said Thursday it expects natural gas prices to fall from an average of about US$2.70 per million British thermal units in 2015 to an average of US$2.50 this year, and then gradually rise to average US$3 in 2018. Prices were almost US$5 in early 2014. Paul Mortensen, the NEB’s director of energy supply, said short-term pain for Canadian producers will pay off in higher prices next winter. “We’ve been on this declining trend on price since 2014 so we think with this summer it’s going to get more negative before it gets better in terms of storage being pre-filled,” he said. “But then that potentially sets us up for a gradual increase in prices through the winter.” He said a warm winter reduced demand for natural gas in North America. Canadian storage has already been refilled to about 82 per cent, higher than normal for this time of year and that means demand will be lower this summer. “What that means to me is that there’s likely going to be a need for producers to pull gas production offline before we get to October or at least ratchet it down before we hit full storage,” he said. Analyst Kris Zack of Desjardins Capital Markets said in a report to investors that stronger prices Thursday were likely a short-term overreaction to a smaller-than-expected weekly natural gas storage build in the United States. The near month contract price

rose to a nine-month high of about US$2.60 per mmBtu. “Bottom line, the next few months will be critical for working off the massive storage overhang ahead of winter, and higher prices could ultimately prove self-defeating through reduced summer power burn,” he wrote. He pointed out that higher gas prices will discourage U.S. power producers from switching from coal to gas to generate electricity. The NEB forecasts Canadian natural gas production, which peaked in 2005 at 17 billion cubic feet per day, will fall from 15 bcf/d in 2015 to 14.5 bcf/d in 2018, based on its report’s midprice-range scenario. On Tuesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration issued a report forecasting that the United States will become a net exporter of natural gas by 2018. It would be the first time since the 1950s because its production is expected to outgrow domestic consumption. It said natural gas production from shale gas and tight oil plays now make up about half of the U.S. production. That proportion is expected to grow to 69 per cent by 2040 as output from the new plays doubles to 29 trillion cubic feet per year. The NEB said natural gas exports to the U.S. Midwest continued to decline in 2015 as pipeline reversals and expansions brought more U.S. gas into Central Canada. It said Canadian gas exports to the Western U.S. rose as higher temperatures increased demand for gas-fired power generation to meet air conditioning demand. It pointed out that development of a Canadian liquefied natural gas export industry would help gas producers, but it’s unclear if any of the nearly 20 proposed projects will be sanctioned by proponents in the near future.

LAGOUTTE (nee Lucier) Margaret Georgina Aug. 22, 1932 - June 5, 2016 Margaret Georgina Lagoutte (nee Lucier) was born August 22, 1932 in Leask, SK, the third eldest of ten children born to Adeline and Alphonse Lucier. Margaret spent her childhood attending school and helping care for her siblings and when old enough, had various sources of employment in the area. Margaret married Hubert Antoine Lagoutte on Sept, 15, 1953 in Leask. They farmed in the area until 1966. While there Margaret gave birth to two sons, Dennis Hubert Lagoutte born August 18, 1954 and Maurice Eugene Lagoutte born June 16, 1960. Margaret and Hubert moved to Prince Albert, SK in 1966 for an employment opportunity for Hubert, then to Sylvan Lake, AB in 1969. Margaret was predeceased by Hubert in 2006 and by her son Maurice in 2010; parents Adeline and Alphonse; sisters: Suzanne (in infancy), Sylvia and Cecil and brothers: Paul, Lloyd and Maurice Margaret enjoyed most of her years as a homemaker and mother. She was happiest surrounded by family and friends, taking family trips and cooking delicious meals. She also enjoyed knitting and gardening. Margaret’s doors were always open to family and friends, it was rare to find her house empty, always full of laughter and love. In her later years Margaret suffered with crippling arthritis that took away her ability to use her hands and eventually her mobility. Over the last couple years she was plagued with dementia that took away the joyful memories she once had. That didn’t prevent her from enjoying happy visits from grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had an especially joyous time at her last Christmas party which she attended with her son Dennis as her date. Margaret was blessed with peaceful relief on Sunday, June 5, 2016 with Dennis by her side. Margaret leaves to mourn: son Dennis Lagoutte (Darlyne); daughterin-law Susan Lagoutte; grandchildren: Shane Lagoutte (Lauren), Mandy Lagoutte, Matthew Lagoutte, Curtis Lagoutte (Lindsey), Michael Lagoutte; great-grandchildren: Kaden, Alex, Kevin-James, Grayson and Griffin Lagoutte; siblings: Stella Lagoutte (Roland), Lydia Kelston, Raymond Lucier and many nieces and nephews.

ZIRK Tabea 1925 - 2016 Mrs. Tabea Zirk (née Hilbrecht) of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away peacefully during the early evening of Saturday, June 4, 2016, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre at the age of 91 years. Tabea was born on June 1, 1925 at Wulka, Poland, and immigrated to Canada in 1952. She met her husband, Alfons Zirk, who asked if he could walk her home from work one day, at Calgary, Alberta, and they married in December of 1954. Tabea lost Alfons in 1963, but forged ahead and raised their two children on her own. The majority of her life was spent at Calgary, Alberta. She moved to Red Deer, Alberta, in 2002 to enjoy the remainder of her life, living with some of her family. During her lifetime, she saw a lot of suffering, but somehow never became encumbered by it. Everything was a miracle to Tabea. She treated life as a gift each and every day, and the ability to do this is her greatest legacy to those who have survived her. Giving her care to those around her was an instinctive trait, and although she would have never seen herself as a protector of people, she was. Seeing what had to be done, Tabea did it and never shied away or denied a task. Tabea was most passionate about helping the little ordinary miracles of the world grow and flourish: flowers, vegetables, her grandchildren, and even the animals she came into contact with. For many of us, life has become so busy that we forget to watch a bird on the wind, or see the beauty in the rising and setting of the sun. Tabea never took these small, ordinary miracles for granted. She shared all she could with her family, and the many people she touched the hearts of over the years. Tabea will be lovingly remembered by her children, Harry (Heather) Zirk, and Rita (Bill) Manning; her siblings, Daniel (Erika) Hilbrecht, and Maria (Herman) Boettcher; and her six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Tabea was predeceased by her parents, Adolph Hilbrecht and Wanda Rienas, and her siblings, Dora (Edmund) Arndt, Zigmund “Ziggy” (Crystal) Hilbrecht, Gerhart (Victoria) Hilbrecht, Otto Hilbrecht, and Bernhardt Hilbrecht. Tabea will be interred at a small, Private Graveside Service at Queen’s Park Cemetery, Calgary, Alberta. In place of flowers, the family asks that you plant a flower, or place a bird feeder out so that you may witness your own ordinary miracle.

Stone Age Aegean Sea migrants brought agriculture to Europe BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — Stone Age people from the Aegean Sea region moved into central and southern Europe some 8,000 years ago and introduced agriculture to a continent still dominated at the time by hunter-gatherers, scientists say. The findings are based on genetic samples from ancient farming communities in Germany, Hungary and Spain. By comparing these with ancient genomes found at sites in Greece and northwest Turkey, where agriculture was practiced centuries earlier, researchers were able to draw a genetic line linking the European and Aegean populations. The study challenges the notion that farming simply spread from one population to another through cultural diffusion. The findings were published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Joachim Burger, one of the study’s authors, said genetic analyses of the samples showed that the ancient farmers in central Europe and Spain were more closely related to the Aegean group than to each other. This suggests that farmers came in two separate waves — northward into the continent and westward along the coastline to Spain. “One is the Balkan route and one is the Mediterranean route, as we know it also from migration of today,” said Burger, an anthropologist and population geneticist at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. Researchers were also able to deduce some characteristics of the ancient Aegean farmers based on their DNA, he said. They were rela-

tively fair-skinned with dark eyes and didn’t yet have the genes necessary to digest milk after childhood — a trait that only developed in Europe later. The Aegean farmers also appeared to be closely related to Oetzi the Iceman, whose well-preserved remains were found on a glacier on the border between Austria and Italy. Finally, by comparing the ancient samples to those of modern-day Europeans, the scientists found that the ancient farmers weren’t their direct ancestors. These ancestors also include the hunter-gatherers, who eventually mixed with the newcomers and a third population thought to have arrived in Europe from the eastern steppes about 5,000 years ago. An expert not involved with the study said it was “solid and well done,” but cautioned that some of its conclusions were based on limited data. “Small statistical effects might be (a) fluke,” said Michael Hofreiter, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Potsdam, Germany. But the insight into Europe’s Stone Age migration offered by the study was valuable, Hofreiter said. “It adds to our knowledge about human history. And I think it is always valuable to replace speculation by factual evidence,” he said. Burger said researchers will now investigate whether the Aegean farmers can be linked directly to populations further southeast in the Fertile Crescent stretching from Syria to southwest Iran, where agriculture is known to have first emerged more than 10,000 years ago.

Installation of Fundy tidal turbines delayed over fisheries concerns BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — The need for more consultation and permits has temporarily pulled the plug on plans to install the first of two towering turbines designed by Cape Sharp Tidal to harness the power of the Bay of Fundy. One of the five-storey high turbines was scheduled to leave Pictou, N.S., this weekend to be taken by barge around the province to a test location in the Minas Basin near Parrsboro. However, Nova Scotia Environment Minister Margaret Miller says the province has yet to approve a proposed environmental effects monitoring program. “They’re awaiting for us to look over that. We’re working with our partners at DFO, and when we have all the information we’ll be able to make a judgement call on that environmental approval,” Miller said in an interview. Miller said there’s no timeline for making that happen. “The department has to be satisfied. We may require more information, we may not,” she said. The project has faced strong opposition from members of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen’s Association, who contend that instream tidal turbines

can’t be made safe for the ecosystem. Spokesman Colin Sproul said the temporary delay is good news, but fishermen want their demands met. “That the province put a halt to this installation, remove existing equipment from the Minas Passage and elsewhere in the Bay of Fundy and do an accurate baseline study which has independent oversight from DFO,” he said. In a statement, Sarah Dawson of Cape Sharp Tidal said they’ve delayed the first deployment to consult further with various stakeholders who feel they haven’t been heard. “Despite our best efforts, there are some who feel they have not had the opportunity to be fully heard. This is not acceptable to us and it’s not how we conduct business,” she wrote. “So we’ve decided to take a pause ahead of the first deployment, to sit down with those who feel they have not had an opportunity to be fully heard, and to hear what they have to say.” Cape Sharp’s turbines are expected to generate enough electricity to power 1,000 homes. They are one of a number of companies who plan to test different turbine technology in the Bay of Fundy.

Scientist asking people to be on the lookout for slimy scourge of the sea

wants to know where the jellyfish go and how numerous they may be. Bethany Nordstrom, a graduate biology student at Dalhousie University in Halifax, is asking people to record their sightings of the jellyfish this summer to gain insight into the turtles’ feeding habits and the predator-prey relationship between the species. Nordstrom says they know quite a bit about the turtles, which are classified as endangered in Canadian waters, but very little about the lowly jellyfish. She says the turtles like to feast on large jellyfish, such as the purplish lion’s mane and clear moon jellies.

No money down, no obligation, every reason to Hear Well today! 21 days to try hearing aids for free, followed by an additional 90 day trial period to return or exchange.

My previous experiences with hearing aids had not been successful. Relationships were fading away and it had come to a point where friends hesitated to call because I couldn’t understand what they were saying. I knew I had to place myself under the care of a Doctor of Audiology. Since seeing Dr. Towers, I’m now able to stay better connected with family and friendships are being renewed. From the start, Dr. Towers’ care was never about selling me hearing aids. It was always about helping me hear at the best level possible. I feel a deep level of gratitude for Dr. Towers. He is honest, has high integrity and I trust his advice. I feel safe under his excellent care.

Therapy is best option for depression

Gravediggers compete in race judged on speed

what a therapist is for. Sometimes the first therapist isn’t a good fit. It takes a little time to find one you are comfortable with. And “help” doesn’t always appear obvious until you’ve been in therapy for a little while. We are glad you are taking appropriate medication. Now it’s time to take additional responsibility by following your doctor’s instructions to seek therapy. Please ask for another referral. We promise it will help. And if you are contemplating suicide, you can speak to someone immediately at the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (suicidepreventionhotline.org) at 1-800-273-8255. Dear Annie: As an only child, I have the task of caring for my elderly mother. I am in my late 50s, and Mom is in her 80s. I have three children of my own, one of whom is a young teen, and I am also a grandmother. I love my family, but there is only one of me and I can’t do it all. I’d like to offer some advice for parents who are lucky enough to have someone living close by who can help with their daily needs: Please write down what you need. I will invariably walk in the door with several bags of groceries, only to have you tell me that you forgot to mention that you also need eggs or milk. I have no problem doing your laun-

dry, but please, if I say you need to throw away an old piece of clothing, trust me enough to agree. When I say you need a bath, believe it. All the denial in the world will not change how often you need to shower. Please wear your incontinence pads and change them frequently. I am more than willing to do a lot for you, because I love you. But I will not bathe you or give you a pedicure. When you find that you cannot do these things adequately, please hire someone. You can afford it. For those who cannot, Medicare often can provide help for some of these services. It will make me less stressed. I, too, am getting older and my husband is ill. My body aches and I’m in physiotherapy. Please listen with your heart. — Your Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: Your suggestions are good, but please consider that Mom may need more help than you realize.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DEBRECEN, Hungary — Digging their way to the top, 18 two-man teams of Hungarian gravediggers displayed their skills Friday for a place in a regional championship to be held in Slovakia later this year. Participants in the contest held in plot 37A of the public cemetery of the eastern Hungarian city of Debrecen were being judged on their speed but also getting points for style — the look of the finished grave mounds. Janos Jonas, 63, who teamed with his son, Csaba, saw the competition run by the Hungarian Association of Cemetery Maintainers and Operators as a sort of last hurrah as he was just a few weeks from retirement. “We didn’t have to prepare in any special way because we do this every day,” said Jonas, from the nearby village of Hosszupalyi. “This is good earth, quite soft and humid, just right for the event.” Organizer Iren Kari said they hoped the race would help increase respect and recognition for the gravediggers’ profession and attract more people to the job, which is under threat, for example by the increasing popularity of cremations.

day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re keen to communicate and chat. So expect a busy day, as you converse with work colleagues or catch up with family and friends. But don’t expect everyone to like what you say! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Close friendships are complicated at the moment, as different mates demand your time and attention in differing ways. Today, resist the urge to blurt out something rash that you later regret. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’re likely to feel extremely unsettled today, as trivial matters irritate you — and more important issues get your blood boiling. So calm down Crabs, before you get real cranky and blow a fuse! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fiery Lions - resist the temptation to fly off the handle today. You’ve got a lot on your plate at the moment but, if you pace yourself, there’s less chance of upsets and unpleasant arguments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your emotions will be more intense than usual, so don’t bottle things up. Make sure you talk to others about how you are feeling. But a recalcitrant relative or neighbour may test your limited patience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Laidback Libra — if you are too laidback today, then others will just barge in and make decisions for you. So have the courage to articulate your needs and stand up for your beliefs. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Power struggles and disagreements are likely today, unless you can keep your Scorpio need to be in control under control. So let others make their own decisions — and their own mistakes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel somewhat stressed, as the stars stir up your wellbeing zones. If you put aside time to relax with family and friends, it will help calm your jangled nerves and soothe your

Sagittarian soul. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In your desire to get ahead, you’re likely to arouse opposition in others. Avoid the temptation to boss people around, as it will only make matters worse. Instead, calm down and re-calibrate Capricorn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are your dreams taking forever to come true? And are you blaming circumstances - or other people - for the delays? Take a long hard look at yourself Aquarius. Perhaps you are the prime saboteur? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It will be hard to think straight today, as intense feelings cloud your judgement, and you react to most things in an over- emotional way. So leave important decision-making for a more suitable time. Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I suffer from terrible depression. My doctor has me on antidepressants and suggested that I seek therapy. However, I walked out on therapy because I felt that it was not for me and that it didn’t help me at all. I have no friends, so having anybody to talk to about what I’m going through is difficult. When I attempted to discuss my depression with family, they repeatedly told me it was just in my head and I simply needed to get ahold of myself. I have turned to a few minor hobbies to help distract me from my depression. However, with the lack of support, it can be really difficult. I do not feel valued by anyone. I have contemplated suicide, thinking that would wake people up enough to realize how I feel. What do I do? — Blue Water Dear Blue: Please reconsider therapy. It sounds as if you gave up too quickly. You want someone to talk to? Who will listen when you pour out your worries and fears? Who will be a means of emotional support? This is
