In a B.C. courtroom this

fall, nothing less than the

future of Canada’s health-

care system will be at stake,

says the B.C. Health Coali-

tion.

In a trial set for 18 weeks,

a lawsuit launched by B.C.

surgeon Dr. Brian Day and

several patients will be ar-

gued before the judges. Day,

who runs the Cambie Sur-

gery Clinic in Vancouver

launched a constitutional

challenge, arguing current

health law contravenes his

right to directly charge med-

ical services to patients.

“If he were successful we

would see Canada revert

more to a U.S.-style health

system where health care is

based on wealth, rather than

need,” said Rick Turner,

co-chair of the B.C. Health

Coalition, which is interven-

ing in the case to defend the

country’s public health-care

system.

“I don’t think anybody

wants that at all.”

It takes more than a few Prairie storms to stop Clara Hughes when she’s on a mis-sion.

The inspirational six-time Olympic medallist dodged storm cells all the way from A i r d r i e t o Red Deer as s h e t i c k e d off another 124 kilome-tres of Clara’s Big Ride, her two-wheeled campaign to remove the stigma of men-tal illness.

L o o k i n g every bit the O l y m p i a n still, Hughes a c t u a l l y pulled in to the Parkland Mall parking lot to wild cheers from about 150 sup-porters nearly 20 minutes ahead of schedule on Day 79 of her 110-day mar-athon.

Hughes told the crowd she was overwhelmed by the support shown by honking, waving, cheering motorists as she made her way to Red Deer.

“It was out of this world.”The smiling speedskater

and cyclist is the only per-son to have multiple medals in both summer and winter Olympics.

Remarkably, she managed to pull off Olympic medal per-

formances while often battling depression.

Her own reluctance to get help for years has now moti-vated her to ensure that de-pression is brought into the light and those suffering men-tal illness are not afraid to talk about it.

One in five Albertans will experience mental health is-

sues at some time in their lives.

Almost all of us will know someone who has struggled.

“This ride is all about mental health awareness. It’s about break-ing down the s t i g m a a t -tached to men-tal illness. It’s about bringing communities together for this conver-sation,” said Hughes.

“ I t ’ s n o t about sport.

It’s not about distance or speed. It’s all about the mental health conversation.”

Her sister has struggled with bipolar disorder and her father has also struggled his whole life.

“Sometimes, you can actu-ally save a life by just asking someone how they’re doing. And if you know how that person can get help you can really make a difference for them.

“People did that for me when I went through depres-sion.”

Hughes also shared some memories of speedskating at Red Deer’s oval and gave a shout out to local speed-skating Olympians Jeremy Wotherspoon and sister Danielle.

She recalled how speed-skating coaches tired of moan-ing about ice conditions in the indoor oval in Calgary decid-ed to bring the Olympic team up to Red Deer to train old school, outside.

When they arrived in a snowstorm speedskaters had to hit the shovels until a trac-tor finally showed up.

Severely developmentally disabled Michener Centre residents lost nursing care on Sundays and statutory holi-days as of June 1, requiring residents to seek medical care in the community.

According to information sent out from Alberta Human Services to families on May 26,

on those days staff will have to use “HealthLink, a walk-in clinic or the nearest hospital” to assist residents.

The on-call Michener nurse, available during the day on Sunday, has also been elimi-nated.

But registered nurses at Michener will continue to see residents from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Lee Kvern, whose sister has lived at Michener for many

years, said reducing RN care is an underhanded move by the provincial government that could put residents at risk.

“She can barely communi-cate on a day-to-day basis let alone in a health crisis. She’s autistic. She’s prone to behav-iours. She can’t sit in emer-gency for hours or a walk-in clinic. She can’t physically do it,” Kvern said.

The province is in the pro-cess of closing the old institu-

tional buildings at Michener Centre, forcing about 120 resi-dents to move into community group homes or seniors facili-ties.

Transitions are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

So far 28 people have moved out.

Five of them have gone into long-term care facilities and the rest into group homes.

Twenty residents on the

north site must still be moved and 69 on the south site.

Some families continue to fight the closure announced without consultation with them in March 2013.

Provincial ministers and premiers previously prom-ised Michener Centre would be there for residents as long as it was their desired op-tion.

HEALTH: Some says cash means quicker treatment

Turner brought his message to the Friends of Medicare’s annual general meeting in Red Deer on Saturday.

Some have argued that patients with the cash have a right to seek treat-ment faster than the public system can offer.

Turner understands those argu-ments, but the coalition firmly be-lieves opening the door to a system where wealth is the priority, not need, will be a big mistake.

That isn’t to say there are not im-provements that can and should be made to the current health system, which still does a good job in dealing quickly with life-threatening situa-tions.

Wait lists for many elective surger-ies, such as hip and knee replace-ments, can be too long, but there are ways to address that without going to a private model.

For instance, in Alberta surgical centres were dedicated to hips and knees and waiting lists were dramati-cally reduced.

Studies have shown allowing pri-vate health-care operations to set up alongside the public facilities does nothing to reduce wait times.

Private health care is not cheaper either. Administration costs are far higher than the public system, he said.

Turner said whichever side pre-vails in B.C.’s court, the issue is likely destined to go to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Those who are concerned about Day’s challenge want to ensure that all of the evidence is before the B.C. judges so it will then be taken forward to the country’s highest court.

“The Supreme Court is unlikely to hear new evidence. They are likely to hear only the evidence that was presented at the B.C. Supreme Court level.”

Previous cases along similar lines, including a case in Quebec that led to private health insurance being intro-duced, have shown the importance of having all the evidence brought before the court, he said.

Friends of Medicare executive director Sandra Azocar pointed out that the public health-care battle was recently fought on an Alberta front. In April, an Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench justice ruled against a constitu-tional challenge against the province’s virtual monopoly on health care.

The claim was based on Quebec’s case, but the court ruled that not enough evidence was presented to show the plaintiff — a dentist who sought back treatment in the U.S. — had his charter rights violated.

HUGHES: Knocking down social sense of shame

“We had so much fun and I swear that’s what taught me how to work on the ice that led me to my first bronze medal for Canada.”

Kevin Breel, spokesman for the Bell’s Let’s Talk campaign, which sponsors the ride, said the awareness effort has started the conversation about mental illness in a way that hasn’t been done before.

“More than anything we’re knocking down this sort of social sense of shame, or secrecy, or silence around these is-sues. That’s really what Bell Let’s Talk is all about and so is Clara’s Big Ride.”

Walter Lidster, executive director of Family Services of Central Alberta, said the Big Ride will make a differ-ence.

“I’m an ex-mental health therapist myself, and one of the issues that I really struggled with was to help my clients deal with the shame associ-ated with anything to do with mental health.”

Lidster said Hughes is a hero to many and “to have somebody like her say, ‘Look I’ve experienced this. I’m continuing to live with it, and I’m going to use my experience to help others’ is pretty motivating.

“I’m hoping what it does is give peo-ple of all ages in Red Deer and Central Alberta (the confidence) to reach out and ask for help if they need it.”

Hughes was to give a youth-geared breakfast speech at the mall before mounting up and cycling to Edmonton.

As of Saturday, she had covered 7,381 kilometres of a 12,000-kilometre trek through 95 Canadian communities coast to coast.

MICHNER: Fighting for service

That commitment was reinforced again in a 2008 government report.

The average age of Michener resi-dents is 60.

“We’re fighting for the service and support that Michener has excelled at for the last 20 years. We’re not fighting for the buildings. We’re fighting for the award-winning care,” Kvern said.

“I think this is a tactical move. I think they are trying to smoke us out. I think they will cut all the services to the point that we’ll be forced to move our people out of Michener because there will be no services, which is pretty nasty in my mind.”

“We get the letter on (May 26) and these cuts are ... June 1. What does that tell you? There’s again no discussion, no consultation, no nothing,” Kvern

said. Roxanne Dube Coelho, spokes-person with Alberta Human Services, said changes were made to the avail-ability of registered nurses at Michen-er because their role has changed over the years to provide more consultation to frontline staff rather than hands-on nursing care.

There’s also fewer residents, she said.

“It’s not that nursing care is no lon-ger provided because nursing direct care was not how it worked. Anyone will still be able to access HealthLink and they would get pretty much the ex-act same advice,” Dube Coelho said.

She said Michener nurses have not provided overnight on-call nursing ser-vice since 2010.

“Coverage has primarily been day hours, and not past 5:15 p.m., since September,” Dube Coelho said.

Jason Heistad, executive secretary-

treasurer with the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, the union that represents Michener staff, said the changes are a concern because doctors and nurses elsewhere don’t know Mi-chener residents like those who work at Michener.

Earlier this year Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski and the AUPE made public their idea to keep some south side buildings at the fa-cility for developmentally disabled people open to residents, in addition to the centre’s group homes.

In April, she made a presentation to the Alberta Legislature Standing Committee on Families and Communi-ties outlining concerns about moving people out of Michener Centre.

On Friday, Jablonski said no prog-ress has been made on keeping south side buildings open.

Man arrested after officer draggedA Three Hills man has been arrested in connec-

tion with an incident that saw a Strathcona County RCMP officer dragged for 100 metres at a traffic stop.

Police were pulling over vehicles in the county on Friday when a vehicle was stopped that was alleg-edly speeding on its way into a nearby subdivision. As the officer was talking to the driver, he took off dragging the Mountie.

The driver, who was in a pickup and had a child with him, evaded police by smashing through a fence and making his way on to Hwy 21.

Later on Friday, a suspect was arrested at a rural acreage in the Three Hills area. He was taken into custody without incident.

The child was not with the suspect when he was arrested. The child was located safe with family.

Christopher Ferguson, 23, is charged with one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, one count of criminal flight from police, one count of criminal hit and run and one count of imperson-ation.

At the time of his arrest, Ferguson was also want-ed on several warrants from Didsbury RCMP for one count of break and enter and committing robbery with a firearm, three counts of mischief under $5,000 and one count of violating a municipal bylaw.

The injured officer is doing well and as of Satur-day remained in hospital awaiting surgery.

Justin Bieber apologizesfor using racial slur in joke

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Justin Bieber is apologizing after a years-old video surfaced showing the then-teenager telling a racist joke with the N-word.

In a statement Sunday to The Associated Press, the Canadian pop star said when he was a kid he didn’t realize how certain words could hurt. He says he learned from his mistakes and apologized for them, and now is apologizing again because they have become public.

“I’m very sorry,” Bieber said. “I take all my friend-ships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable behaviour.”

THREE HILLS

BY BOB WEBERTHE CANADIAN PRESS

FORT MCMURRAY — A brief he-licopter tour of the oilsands Saturday wasn’t enough to shake Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s conviction that the industry is doing massive harm to both the climate and the environment.

“It is important that we do some-thing about the horrendous effects and impacts on the only world we have,” he said after the brief Suncor-sponsored flight that took him over part of the company’s operations.

Earlier that day, Tutu’s judgment of Alberta’s oilsands had been harsh.

“The fact that this filth is being created now, when the link between carbon emissions and global warming is so obvious, reflects negligence and greed,” Tutu told more than 200 rapt attendees at a conference on oilsands development and treaty rights in Fort McMurray.

“Oilsands development not only devastates our shared climate, it is also stripping away the rights of First Nations and affected communities to protect their children, land and water from being poisoned.”

During the flight, Tutu listened to running commentary from Suncor ex-ecutive Mark Little and seemed to ac-knowledge the company’s efforts to mitigate its impacts and work with ab-original groups.

“When a good thing is done, if you are honest you say this is something that is to be commended,” he said.

Tutu told Little how many people had come to him during the confer-ence to express their environmental concerns. “Almost all the people who made observations spoke about the ef-fect of the oil industry,” he said.

Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, co-sponsor of

the conference, responded cautiously to Tutu’s uncompromising remarks.

“People have their own opinion,” said Adam, whose band does about $270 million worth of business with oil-sands companies a year.

“It is filthy, it is gut-wrenching to see the mass displacement of land to get at the resource.

“(But) we’re not anti-development. We want to do this right and there is an avenue to do this right.”

The archbishop, who won the No-bel Peace Prize for his role in the fight against apartheid, has previously signed a petition against the Keystone XL pipeline project and called it “ap-palling” in a newspaper opinion col-

umn. Tutu, 82, has also called for boy-cotts of events sponsored by the fossil fuel industry, for health warnings on oil company ads and for divestment of oil industry investments held by uni-versities and municipalities, similar to measures that were brought against South Africa’s old apartheid regime.

Industry supporters have pointed out that the oilsands’ contribution to the amount of heat-trapping carbon di-oxide produced globally is minuscule.

Davis Sheremata, a spokesman for TransCanada Corp., the company that wants to build Keystone, said in an email that fossil fuels have a positive impact.

“Oil powered the jet that flew Mr. Tutu to Canada from Africa, produced the fuel for the helicopter tour he had planned of the oil sands, and helped manufacture the microphones and TV cameras for his press conference,” Sheremata wrote. During the flight, Little tried to assure Tutu of Suncor’s concern for local people.

“We really are focused on ensuring we are living up to the commitments and intent that are in the treaties,” he said.

But Tutu didn’t back down from his

earlier remarks that humanity must act together to end a threat that is already affecting people around the globe.

“This is why I have stood in solidar-ity with communities across Canada and the United States that are oppos-ing the proposed oilsands pipeline,” he told the conference.

“The struggle of citizens against the pipelines puts them on the front lines of the most important struggles in North America today.”

sTutu urged people from all sides to work together. He pointed to the expe-rience of his own country overcoming generations of racial intolerance as an example of how widely differing posi-tions can be brought together through mutual goodwill.

“Magnanimity is not a river that flows in one direction only. It is a bridge built of reasonableness and the acceptance of others that enables hu-man beings to navigate barriers that keep us apart.”

In a conference room tangy with the slight smell of sweetgrass, Tutu said humanity must learn to think of itself as one family.

“You can’t be human all by yourself. You need other human beings to be human.” Tutu’s remarks, leavened by his trademark infectious laugh, ended with the crowd on its feet while he chanted, “we are connected.”

Adam said Tutu’s appearance will help his nation’s cause.

“It puts pressure on government to realize we’re getting world-renowned citizens coming together and speaking about the issue,” he said.

“That has to be addressed in a way where First Nations people have to sit at the table make sure their positions get (heard).

Because we enjoy relatively pure air, clean water and healthy food sys-tems, Canadians sometimes take the environment for granted.

Many scarce-ly blink if oil from a pipe-line spills into a river, a for-est is cleared for tar sands operations or a g r i c u l t u r a l land is fracked for gas. If Arc-tic ice melts and part of the Antarctic ice sheet collapses, well… they’re far away.

S o m e s e e climate change as a distant threat, if they see it as a threat at all. But the scientific evi-dence is overwhelming: climate change is here, and unless we curb behaviours that contribute to it, it will get worse, putting our food, air, water and secu-rity at risk. A recent White House re-port confirms the findings of this year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment report, and concludes global warming is a clear and present danger to the U.S.

“Climate change is not a distant

threat, but is affecting the American people already,” says White House sci-ence adviser John Holdren in a video about the report. “Summers are lon-ger and hotter, with longer periods of extended heat. Wildfires start earlier in the spring and continue later into the fall. Rain comes down in heavier downpours. People are experiencing changes in the length and severity of allergies. And climate disruptions to water resources and agriculture have been increasing.”

Recognizing the problem’s sever-ity is a start, but whether the U.S. will actually do anything is another ques-tion. Action to curb climate change is constantly stalled — thanks to the powerful fossil fuel industry, politi-cal and media denial, extensive fossil fuel-based infrastructure and citizen complacency.

But at least the U.S. and its presi-dent have unequivocally called for ac-tion. It’s disturbing that political lead-ers in Canada — a northern country already feeling impacts, with a long coastline particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels — ignore the issue in their drive to make Canada a pet-ro-power. Our government prefers to spend taxpayers’ money to support the fossil fuel industry with advertising campaigns and billions of dollars in subsidies. A recent New York Times ad, worth US$207,000, touts oil sands

and pipelines as “environmentally re-sponsible.” Despite opposition from communities throughout B.C. and the rest of Canada, including many First Nations, approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project is expected next month.

Perceived economic benefits (most-ly short-term) trump the needs of all Canadians and their children and grandchildren for clean air and wa-ter, healthy food and a stable climate. Droughts, floods, water shortages, in-sect-plagued forests, extreme weather events, rising sea levels and melting glaciers don’t matter as much as get-ting the oil, gas and coal out of the ground and sold as quickly as possible.

B.C. once showed promise with cli-mate policies such as a carbon tax. Now the government in my home prov-ince is also pinning its hopes on the fossil fuel market, fracking our way to “prosperity” at the expense of long-term human and economic health, farmland and climate.

How can we allow governments and industry to continue leading us down this destructive path?

Some people say we must choose between the human-created economy and the natural environment — an ab-surd argument on many levels, and a false dichotomy. Even within the cur-rent flawed economic paradigm, it’s far more financially sound to invest in

renewable energy and diversification than in a dying industry.

Others, often driven by fossil fuel in-dustry propaganda, doubt the evidence and question the credentials of thou-sands of scientists worldwide studying the issue.

The IPCC report involved hundreds of scientists and experts worldwide who analyzed the latest peer-reviewed scientific literature and other rele-vant materials on climate change. The White House report was overseen by 13 government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agen-cy, NASA, Department of the Interior, Department of Defense and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-tration. It was written by close to 300 scientists and experts and reviewed by numerous others, including the Na-tional Academy of Sciences. It was also vetted by groups ranging from oil com-panies to environmental organizations. As an article on Desmog Blog points out, “If anything, this report is conser-vative in its findings.”

The IPCC and White House reports are clear: solutions are available. But the longer we delay the more difficult and expensive they will be to imple-ment. We can’t just sit by and do noth-ing.

The question is asked: if you were presented with the dollars-and-cents, years-of-your-life evidence that differ-ences in lifestyle choices produced, would you change your choices accord-ingly?

For most Ca-nadians, the an-swer seems to be no.

While evi -dence mounts that the best known preven-tative for dis-ease, mental illness, loss of disposable in-come and early death is simple exercise, most people either ignore or dis-believe the evi-dence and go on with their lives. Or make attempts at positive change that they cannot seem to maintain.

The Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences followed the case histories of 79,300 people in Ontario, comparing their diet, activity levels and smoking choices with their health records.

They discovered commonalities that could be predicted in a mathematical model. And they were on their way to

calculating the life outcome of anyone.They posted a questionnaire/calcu-

lator online — www.projectbiglife.ca — which will rate your chances of see-ing your grandchildren get married, say. Or it can posit the number of days you will spend in hospital over the rest of your life.

They are building a database that so far shows less than eight people per hundred have none of the lifestyle risks that could put them in hospital and/or put them in hospital for longer periods.

They also found that for Ontario alone, poor lifestyle choices — failing to exercise being the top bad choice — accounted for more than 900,000 days worth of hospital stays per year.

That’s at an average cost of $7,000 a day, according to the Canadian Insti-tute for Health Information. The Proj-ect Big Life calculator will even tell you how much of that can be attributed to you.

Think about that the next time you’re tempted to complain that tax-funded infrastructure for active living is a waste of money.

Think also about the money you can save right now if you took the National Commuter Challenge and left your car home for your commutes this week. June 1-7 marks this year’s Challenge, and if the Project Big Life evidence inspires you, go to commuterchallenge.

ca and take the one-week pledge.Just a week. To walk, cycle, car pool

or take transit, and see what difference it could make for you.

The average commute in Red Deer is around five km one way. Pretty short, compared to most other Canadian cit-ies.

Using yet another online calculator (this one from the Canadian Automo-bile Association) the cost of operating an average type sedan for your 10-km round trip is just under $1.70. That’s $1.70 every time you open your garage door and head down the driveway.

Those figures are from 2013, long before the price of gas shot up. Boost that to $2 or more, and you won’t be far off today’s costs.

Want to know what doing that for the week will run? The CAA calculates the use of a mid-sized sedan for a week costs about $58 (assuming you drive about 18,000 km a year, and using 2013 fuel costs).

How’s that for incentive to leave the car at home, just for one week?

Last week, medical journal The Lan-cet reported that a third of all the peo-ple on earth are now overweight or obese. Despite what we have learned about the medical costs of obesity, we as a society are finding it almost im-possible to change the behaviours that are making us unhealthy.

Almost anyone can walk five kilo-

metres. Certainly almost anyone can ride that far on a bike.

Doing these commutes under your own power constitutes all the exercise you need to fill the medically-recom-mended 60 minutes a day to keep you fit.

Even if you change nothing else in your life, even if you smoke while you walk, you benefit.

If you do it for one week, you can do it for two. One more week, and that beats the standard of making a life-style change that will stick; one that you’ll miss if you stop doing it.

The Project Big Life calculator can tell you more or less exactly what that lifestyle benefit will be. Find the change in days of hospital stays that this one change alone can calculate, and multiply it by $7,000. That’s your gift to yourself and the lowering of the provincial tax burden for health care attributable to you.

Save the $58 — tax free — if you walk or bike to work for a week. Who would refuse the money?

Who would refuse a chance to stay out of the hospital for more days of our lives? Who wants to dance at their grandchildren’s weddings?

Canadians’ lifestyle choices need to change. This seems like a good week to start.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — A Canadian nun and two Italian priests have been freed two months after they were abducted by armed groups in northern Cameroon, authorities said Sunday.

Gilberte Bussiere, a 74-year-old originally from Asbestos, Que., was kidnapped on April 5 along with Gianantonio Allegri and Giampaolo Marta.

All three had been working as missionaries in the country.

Bussiere’s cousin, Michel Belanger, who still lives in Asbestos, said the family felt relief after weeks of worry.

“We were almost expecting the worst,” he told The Canadian Press.

“But now, everything has changed, everything is fine. So we’re very happy.”

A member of Montreal’s Congregation de Notre-Dame, Bussiere arrived in Cameroon in 1979 and lived there ever since, working as an educator.

She returned to Canada briefly last year for health reasons, but soon went back “to the country and the people she loved,” according to the congregation.

Bussiere required medication and the family was concerned she would suffer without access to medi-cal care, Belanger said.

Bussiere’s congregation said she was reportedly in good health when she was freed. She was taken to Yaounde, Cameroon’s capital, and placed in the care of the congregation.

“It is with great joy that the Sisters of the Congre-gation de Notre-Dame have learned (on Sunday) of the release of Sister Gilberte Bussiere and fathers Marta and Allegri,” the congregation said in a state-ment on its website.

Canada’s Foreign Affairs department said in a statement its officials have been “in regular contact with the family to provide assistance and to provide consular support to the Canadian citizen.”

The priests were assigned from the Vicenza dio-cese in northern Italy.

The Italian Foreign Ministry thanked Canadian and Cameroon authorities but gave no details of how the abduction ended.

The Italian Foreign Ministry cautions against travel in the area where they were abducted, 30 kilometres from the border with Nigeria “in consid-eration of the risk of kidnappings due to presence of jihadist elements coming from Nigeria.”

At the time of the abductions, Vatican Radio said it wasn’t ruled out that Boko Haram, an extremist Islamic group, might have been behind their kidnap-pings. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lom-bardi said Pope Francis had followed the case from the beginning.

“We thank the Lord that this case reached a posi-tive conclusion,” Lombardi said, adding a thought for others who have been abducted in conflict zones.

“At the same time, we continue to pray and com-mit ourselves so that every form of violence, hate and conflict in various regions of Africa and in other parts of the world can be overcome.”

Boko Haram’s five-year-old Islamic uprising based in northeastern Nigeria has claimed the lives of thousands of Muslims and Christians, including more than 1,500 people killed in attacks so far this year.


The air conditioners are whirring in Winnipeg with temperatures recently soaring above 30 C, but below the ground it’s a different story.

Hundreds of residents still have frozen water pipes.

Matthew Lawrence and his family lost water al-most two months ago when their home’s pipes froze. They were still unthawed late last week, even as the Manitoba capital was Canada’s hot spot at 32 C.

“It’s amazing. It feels like the tropics and we still have frozen water pipes,” Lawrence said. “To have it this hot and still be thinking there are frozen pipes underneath the ground is just kind of mind-boggling.”

Lawrence, his wife and three children have been relying on his neighbour, who has allowed them to tap into his water supply. But now, Lawrence said, his neighbour’s house is up for sale and it’s unclear how long that setup might last.

Other cities in Canada and the United States grap-pled with frozen water pipes during an exceptionally cold winter, but Winnipeg’s problem has dragged on the longest.

The city says there are still around 400 properties that have frozen pipes and many of them are relying on neighbours for water. That’s down from around 1,200 properties in March.

Randy Hull, emergency co-ordinator for the city, said there are new reports of frozen pipes still com-ing in.

Even with summer-like temperatures, Hull ex-plained, the thaw hasn’t reached the frost which penetrated deep into the ground.

“With the really cold winter, the frost was pushed down to record levels in the last 130 years. We’re talking eight to nine feet,” Hull said. “Frost doesn’t come out of the ground. The thaw has to go through the soil and thaw all the frost, all the way down to eight feet.”

Hundreds of homes are still at risk and have been told to keep water flowing through taps. But with the temperature soaring outside, people are getting more complacent, Hull said.

“People are looking out the window and thinking, Heavens, there can’t be an issue with this any-

more’ and they’re turning the tap off. We still really need those at-risk properties to continue running their taps, as they’ve been asked to, until they’re told by us — the city — to stop doing so.”

Hull said crews are working flat out to thaw pipes manually using specialized equipment.

They’re covering up to 25 properties a day but are likely to be dealing with frozen pipes until well in-to June. City councillor Paula Havixbeck, who is also running for mayor, said she is frustrated.

two months in captivity

Ontario election campaign likely to get much nastier


TORONTO — Despite allegations of corruption, recklessness, dishonesty, and possibly criminal be-haviour that have sprouted like noxious weeds on Ontario’s campaign trail, this election has not been especially nasty, experts say.

However, they say, that’s likely to change before voting day.

“It doesn’t look that much out of the ordinary,” said Dennis Pilon, a political science professor at York University.

“(But) there’s going to be new bombshells dropped, particularly close to election day, when it will be too late and too difficult for campaigns to respond.”

So far, the three main political camps have largely tended to avoid firing their mud canons directly at the rival party’s leader, hoping instead enough dirt will stick by innuendo and association.

Whether the mudslinging proves effective in per-suading people to vote one way or another — or perhaps not at all — remains to be seen, but it does appear to get people to take notice.

“By using those extreme terms, you certainly get the attention,” said Alan Middleton, professor of marketing at the Schulich School of Business.

“What mud sticks: That’s the key game that’s going on.”

The most pointed barbs to this point have come from New Democrat Leader Andrea Horwath and ri-val Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak.

At almost every turn, they have tried to paint the governing Liberals as scandal-riven, untrustworthy and worse.

“This campaign is really about cleaning up the corruption at Queen’s Park,” Horwath said at one point — a theme repeated in most NDP messaging.

“This Liberal party has behaved in a way that is corrupt.”

Hudak, too, has tried to tie the Liberals — and

Premier Kathleen Wynne in particular — to corrup-tion.

“We have seen again and again that the world of crony capitalism — where big government gets into bed with big business — that’s how corruption starts,” Hudak said at one campaign stop.

The Tory leader has also invoked the federal Ad-scam scandal where criminal charges were laid and notes police are investigating the destruction of re-cords in the premier’s office related to the gas plant fiasco.

Peter Graefe, a political science professor at McMaster University, said the campaign has been slightly nastier than in 2011, particularly when it comes to the NDP’s aggressive anti-Liberal rhetoric.

For her part, Wynne has attacked Hudak for his “reckless” commitment to fire 100,000 civil servants if elected, while relentlessly attempting to portray Horwath and the NDP as having betrayed the party’s principles.

Wayne Petrozzi, a politics professor at Ryerson University, said he didn’t think the campaign had been particularly negative, yet.

“We tend to think of negative in terms of personal attacks,” Petrozzi said. “For the most part, so far, the focus has remained on issues.”

Cameron Anderson, a political science professor at Western University, said federal Conservative at-tack ads directed at Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau or past one aimed at his predecessors were far more negative than those of the Ontario campaign.

“It’s been more policy related rather than this person is a bad person,” Anderson said.

Demonizing a leader can backfire badly — as the federal Conservatives once discovered with a taste-less attack on former prime minister Jean Chretien’s slight facial deformity.

Perhaps that’s why Horwath, for example, has refused to brand Wynne herself as corrupt or Hudak has not yet called her a crook.

“I suspect that it will turn, that character will be-come the focus,” Petrozzi said.

CAMEROON ABDUCTIONS

BY PAUL COWLEYADVOCATE STAFF

Rock the Change brought its message about the importance of suicide awareness back to Bower Ponds on Sunday.

And organizer Stacie Moore was thrilled with the response.

“I am so happy. It’s beautiful outside and I can’t be more ex-cited,” said Moore as the three-hour show kicked off under sun-ny skies.

She organized last year’s inaugural fundraising concert as a way to bring people to-gether in the wake of six sui-cides among local youth in two years.

The $8,000 raised went to programs at Suicide Informa-tion and Education Services.

After the success of last year’s event, Moore stepped up the advertising for this year through social media, newspa-per and radio. It seems to have paid off.

“Lots of people apparently heard about it because there’s lots of people here. I’m so ex-cited.

“I didn’t think it was going to be like this right at 3 o’clock. I

can’t believe it. It’s really awe-some.”

Close to 200 people were on the hillside at the concert’s start with more drifting in. Clouds and rain moved in later in the afternoon.

Moore said she got a lot of positive feedback from last year’s concert.

“I got a few comments from some people that it really helped me just being part of the event.”

Five local acts and one from Edmonton kept the crowd en-tertained.

Brittany Risling, 16, came with a couple of others to sup-port their school friend Safire King, a talent 15-year-old from Lindsay Thurber Comprehen-sive High School, who opened the show.

“I came to listen to my friend Safire perform. I’m pretty stoked about it actually.”

Other acts included: Randi Boulton, One Day Late, Amy Metcalfe, Ruined Escape Plan and Thomas Hutlet.

Jade Petrie, 20, has lost fami-ly members to suicide and feels creating more awareness is an

important cause.“I think if there is more

awareness it can be prevent-able.”

She believes events like Rock the Change have an im-pact. “Definitely. It just gets the word around.”

Riley Murdoch, 16, heard about the event on Facebook and was at Bower Ponds so de-cided to check it out.

“I think it’s a nice environ-ment.”

Moore said she hopes to bring the event back next year.

Big cuts coming to classesBY MYLES FISH

ADVOCATE STAFF

Central Alberta’s largest school division is warning of significant cuts to the class-room in 2015 without additional provincial funding.

Chinook’s Edge School Division, which educates nearly 11,000 students in Sylvan Lake, Olds, Innisfail and other communi-ties, has drawn down its reserves for years to fund operations, and projects to do so again for the 2014/15 school term to the tune of nearly $1 million. But, superintendent Kurt Sacher warns, it will not have that luxury going forward.

“What we’ve been experiencing the past few years is more and more kind of skin deep cuts. If that trend continues it’ll be a bone deep cut the following year for us where it starts to really impact,” said Sa-cher.

Among those skin deep cuts are teacher subtractions — 13.6 positions this school year and a further seven projected for next year. While treasurer Susan Roy said con-servative budgeting means a lot of those planned cuts should be recovered, with stu-dent enrolment trending upwards, any cuts make for a precarious situation.

The division’s 2014/15 budget projects nearly $121 million in revenues against expenses of $123.6 million, with most of the difference due to amortization.

The province did not provide much new education funding in its spring budget af-ter axing major grant programs the year before. Overall, the division has less money to work with for next year than it did in 2011/12.

The biggest cut for the large rural divi-sion was a fuel subsidy that would have

meant over $500,000 annually. Without it, the board is having to consider charging fees for rural bus riders and has put off re-placing its oldest buses.

“We’ve upped ride times to the point where we just can’t put some of those little kids on buses any longer than they’re al-ready being asked to ride,” said Sacher.

The division wants to maintain its opera-tional reserves fund at approximately three p e r c e n t o f t o t a l revenues, a mark it p r o j e c t s t o r e a c h i n 2 0 1 5 . S c h o o l s b o a r d s across the p r o v i n c e generally have been relying on their reserves in recent years to balance budgets, after having built up the funds over time.

At the end of the 2013 fiscal year, Alber-ta’s 61 school boards had over $385 million in operating reserves, according to an Al-berta School Boards Association report.

Wild Rose School Division boasts a slightly healthier reserve position, but plans to run a $2.1-million deficit in 2014/15. The division did most of its cutting last year, reducing its teaching staff by 20, but may have to deal with less funding next school year if declining enrolment projec-tions hold.

As superintendent Brian Celli puts it, he can “see the bottom of the barrel.”

“Probably next year we’re going to have to start making some program decisions.

Hopefully we don’t get to that, because a lot of the places that we would make those decisions tend to be in the support areas, because it takes a fair amount of money to support a small amount of students,” said Celli.

The Rocky Mountain House-based divi-sion intends to hire 10 additional education assistant and family wellness workers for September, while keeping teacher levels

steady.W o l f

C r e e k School Di-v is ion — c o v e r i n g schools in Blackfalds, L a c o m b e and Pono-ka — is an-ticipating a near-$1 m i l l i o n

deficit for 2014/15. The division has benefit-ed from strong enrolment growth along the Hwy 2 corridor, allowing it to post recent surpluses.

The division intends to maintain its teacher numbers for next year, while add-ing 14 positions for inclusive education programming. Wolf Creek plans to spend $86 million for the school year, with over $5 million in its operating reserves at the end of 2014/15.

Clearview School Division passed a budget earlier this month that features a $661,000 deficit. The division encompassing Stettler, Erskine, Donalda and other com-munities in East Central Alberta expects to cut the equivalent of seven teaching posi-tions.

Trail of abuse leads to sorrow

BY PAUL COWLEY

ADVOCATE STAFF

Former NHLer and child advocate Shel-don Kennedy isn’t angry that those around him didn’t do more about the sexual abuse he suffered by his mentor and hockey coach.

After Graham James pleaded guilty to sexually abusing Kennedy and two other players and he was sentenced to 3 ½ years in 1997 there were many who said they sus-pected something was very wrong with the coach. But no one stepped up to do any-thing.

Graham would later be sentenced to two more years — raised to five on appeal — for abusing others, including former NHL star Theoren Fleury.

Kennedy said it’s not anger but sorrow he feels for the people of Swift Current, Sask. where he was abused when playing for the Swift Current Broncos.

“I see the damage Graham James has done to that town.

“I see the shame and the guilt that was left in that town because they didn’t have the tools to know what to do,” Kennedy told a Public School Boards’ Association of Al-berta audience at their spring general as-sembly in Red Deer on Saturday.

“Even though they knew something was wrong they didn’t know how to handle it.

“They didn’t have the tools to know what to do when their gut’s telling them some-thing was wrong.”

“Our goal is to give people the confi-dence to act on their gut.”

The Calgary-based Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre takes a collabora-tive approach to child abuse by bringing together under one roof police, Crown pros-ecutors, psychologists, mental health work-ers, social workers.

The centre handles 100 cases a month, which represents only the worst 15 per cent of cases reported to the province.

Through the centre, suspected cases of child abuse are investigated and convic-tions pursued when appropriate. Victims receive treatment from a therapy team that

helps with self esteem, addictions issues and the many other debilitating effects of abuse. Victims are also taught how to avoid becoming victims again.

The centre also focuses on prevention, education, training and research. Programs such as Respect in Sports teach sports coaches how to spot and respond to signs of abuse.

Respect in Schools takes the same ap-proach with educators and has been launched as a 4,000-participant pilot proj-ect.

Kennedy said the key to dealing with the increasing tide of child abuse is to respond to it in a consistent, simple and collabora-tive way.

“The whole point is we need everyone pulling on the rope together,” he said.

The centre’s approach works and he’s confident its approach will be adopted by others.

“It’s going to be a model that will go across the country, no question.”

SUICIDE AWARENESS

With a current estimated value of more than $5 billion a year, weddings are a big — and costly — business in Canada.

According to Wedding Bells Magazine’s 2013 trends survey, there were more than 165,000 weddings in Canada last year, with the average cost of tying the knot and going on a honeymoon coming in at $32,358 — five per cent more than in 2012.

Traditional weddings are still the most popular. However, less formal ones are gain-ing in popularity. Soon-to-wed couples are employing a number of strategies to save

money, including having a smaller wedding, making their own decorations, centrepieces or invitations, getting a friend to act as the disc jockey or photographer, holding the wedding on a less popular day, and having a destination wedding.

In 2012, for example, only 25 per cent of Canadians who recently married undertook a do-it-yourself project like making their own centrepieces, reception décor or guest favours. Last year, this doubled to more than half, and 12 per cent of brides planned to have a destination wedding.

No matter how you slice it, weddings are a big expense — one that many people aren’t saving enough for and can’t really afford.

A recent BMO InvestorLine study found that almost 40 per cent of people who envi-sion getting married at some point in their lives do not believe they will be able to af-ford their ideal wedding.

Canadians plan to spend an average of $15,000 on their weddings and invite an av-erage of 100 guests.

Let the bells ring — wedding costs rising

OTTAWA, Ont. — There’s no business like grow business.

Health Canada is struggling to process a mountain of applica-tions for licences to grow medical marijuana as the country experi-ences a “greenrush” of firms want-ing to grab a piece of the coming boom.

The department had received 858 applications as of late last month, and new ones were coming in the door at an average of 25 a week.

The application frenzy has drawn basement growers, well-heeled entrepreneurs with phar-macy expertise and even strug-gling junior mining firms trying to find a lucrative new business line.

Health Canada radically changed the rules for medical marijuana on April 1, moving ap-proved production from a cottage industry of thousands of loosely regulated growers to a commer-cially competitive sector, with an anticipated 50 larger companies shipping high-quality weed in doz-ens of strains.

Prices are being set by the free

market, and Health Canada is im-posing no limit on the number of sanctioned indoor weed farms, as long as they can pass regulatory muster.

Officials began accepting ap-plications for grow licences a year ago, but the initial trickle of forms has turned into a torrent.

In September, Health Canada was sorting through 156 applica-tions — but the number tripled by February this year and then doubled in just the next three months.

So far, only 13 licenced suppli-ers have made it to the finish line, listed on the department’s website as authorized marijuana sources for patients who have their doc-tor’s approval to use cannabis for pain and other symptoms.

Meanwhile, business newcom-ers say they’re frustrated by the inability of Health Canada to pro-cess their applications in a timely way, as their leased grow-space gathers dust and their investors become impatient.

“They’re really an unfortunate bureaucracy under siege,” says Umar Syed, president of Toronto-based CannMart Inc., which has been patiently waiting for a distri-bution licence since October.

“They’re dealing with a situ-ation they weren’t prepared for. ... there’s something really out of whack.”

Syed, with a background as a clinical pharmacist, has had previous positive dealings with Health Canada. But he says the underfunded agency is suddenly struggling with a “tsunami” of ap-plications, leaving his company and others in limbo.

“We’re all dressed up and no-where to go.”

Syed’s comments echo those of other applicants, who declined to go on the record for fear of jeop-ardizing their chance at a licence.

“They keep moving the goal posts,” one West Coast-based ap-plicant said of Health Canada’s evolving review process.

The new regime has also been hit with two curve balls: a Brit-ish Columbia court injunction in March that allows medical users accredited under the old system to continue to use home-grown pot for now; and two recent re-calls of medical marijuana from licenced companies producing under the new system, for reasons of quality.

HEALTH CANADA SWAMPED WITH APPLICATIONS


WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will press European leaders this week to keep up pressure on Russia over its threatening moves in Ukraine, while seeking to assuage fears from Poland and other NATO allies that the West could slip back into a business-as-usual relationship with Moscow.

Obama’s four day trip to Poland, Belgium and France comes against the backdrop of successful national elections in Ukraine and signs that Russia is moving most of its troops off its shared border with the former Soviet republic. Yet violence continues to rage in eastern Ukrainian cities and there remains deep uncertainty about whether Ukraine’s new pres-ident-elect can stabilize his country.

U.S. officials contend that, even with some signs of progress, Russia has not taken the necessary steps to ease tensions and could still face additional eco-nomic sanctions. Obama will look for Western allies to show a united front during a meeting of the Group of Seven major industrial nations that was quickly arranged after leaders decided to boycott a meeting Russia had been scheduled to host this week.

But at least some parts of Obama’s visit will chal-lenge the notion that the West has isolated Moscow. Russian President Vladmir Putin is scheduled to join U.S. and European leaders in France Friday for a day of events marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion at Normandy. Putin will also hold one-on-one talks with French President Francois Hollande, his first meeting with a Western leader since the Ukraine crisis began.

“Putin may not get to host the G-8 but if he gets to go to Normandy with everybody, it begins to diminish the appearance of isolation,” said Steven Pifer, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who now serves as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

The White House says Obama will not hold a formal bilateral meeting with Putin, though the two leaders are expected to have some contact.

Officials also disputed the notion that Putin’s presence constituted a return to normal relations, noting that Obama and other leaders have talked with the Russian president throughout the crisis with Ukraine.

Yet those reassurances may be of little solace to NATO allies who sit near the Russian border, par-ticularly Poland, where Obama will open his trip Tuesday. In April, the U.S. moved about 150 troops into Poland to try to ease its security concerns, but Obama is likely to get requests from Polish leaders for additional support.

“He’s going to hear a very strong message from Polish officials that the mission has not been accom-plished,” said Heather Conley, a Europe scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “In fact, the work has only begun.”

While in Warsaw, Obama will also meet with re-gional leaders who are in town to mark the 25th an-niversary of Poland’s first post-communist free elec-tions. Among those leaders will be Ukrainian Pres-ident-elect Petro Poroshenko, who won Ukraine’s May 25 election and will hold his first bilateral meet-ing with Obama.

“We very much admired that the people of Ukraine have turned out in huge numbers to elect President-elect Poroshenko,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser.

Chopper exemption

strains relationsBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Harper government’s decision to grant Bell Helicopter Canada a special weight exemption for one its aircraft strained relations between Transport Canada and aviation safety regu-lators in the U.S. and Europe, federal documents show.

The declaration, involving the Bell model 429, was made over strenuous objections from the U.S. Feder-al Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which complained that Transport Canada kept them in the dark about the significant regulatory change.

The adjustment, also the subject of a court chal-lenge, increased the maximum weight gross weight limit to 3,400 kilograms, and allowed Bell to enter and recently win a $172-million contract to provide 15 light helicopters to the coast guard.

Documents obtained by The Canadian Press un-der Access to Information showed both international agencies felt sandbagged prior to the easing of the weight restriction in December 2011.

New Brunswick’s forestry plan is intended to re-juvenate the province’s forestry sector, an industry clobbered by mill closures and job losses.

But the strategy has set off criticism from conser-vationists who say it disregards the environment and threatens to decimate Crown forests.

The 10-year plan, a pillar of the Progressive Con-servative government’s platform, gives forestry com-panies access to 3.9 million cubic metres of softwood on Crown land — a hike of 20 per cent.

“We are going to see a lot more clear-cutting, a much larger clear cut, a lot more land converted to plantations instead of being allowed to naturally re-generate, a lot more herbicide spraying and the loss of local populations of wildlife,” said David Coon, leader of the province’s Green party.

Coon’s opposition has been echoed by academics and environmentalists since the plan was unveiled with much fanfare in March.

But the government says the critics are ignoring the crisis facing the forestry industry, which in the last decade has seen nearly 40 mills shut down and 6,000 jobs evaporate. That in a province that relies on forestry more than any other province, based on GDP.

Natural Resources Minister Paul Robichaud puts it bluntly.

“Anyone who doesn’t see that we have an emer-gency situation in the forestry industry doesn’t live in this province,” Robichaud said.

The plan, which has earned the support of Unifor, has triggered an infusion of money from the private sector.

Robichaud said he expects it will generate more than 1,200 construction jobs and another 500 posi-tions in the forestry industry as mills throughout the province make improvements to take on the in-creased supply of wood.

J.D. Irving, the largest forestry company in the province, has announced more than $513 million in projects to upgrade its facilities that are expected to create 1,200 jobs during construction and 326 perma-nent jobs.

Jason Limongelli, director of woodlands opera-tions for the company, said the extra wood from

Crown land provides the stability to allow the com-pany to make the investments. He said the company will also be buying nine per cent more wood from private woodlots this year than it did last year.

He said clear-cutting worries are overblown.“We’re not in business to run ourself out of busi-

ness,” he said. “Inherently we are interested in a growing and

sustainable supply.”

Buffett lunch auction raises $16M for California charity


OMAHA, Neb. — Before billionaire businessman Warren Buffett started auctioning off private lunch-es to benefit the Glide Foundation, he was skeptical of the San Francisco charity where his first wife was volunteering.

But once Susie Buffett, who died in 2004, showed Warren the work Glide does for the poor and home-less, he was sold on the organization — so much so that he’s raised nearly $16 million since 2000.

“It was one-on-one working with people society had given up on,” Buffett said. “And experience showed society was wrong to give up on those peo-ple.”

The 15th annual lunch auction started Sunday with a $25,000 minimum bid on eBay, and continues until 9:30 p.m. CDT Friday.

The lunch auction has become an important source of money for Glide, which has an $18 million annual budget. Glide’s co-founders, the Rev. Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani, hope the lunch will draw another seven-figure price tag, but they also appreciate the exposure.

“I think it’s amazing to have Warren Buffett as an advocate,” Mirikitani said. The charity provides meals, health care, job training, rehabilitation and housing support to the poor and homeless.

Last year’s auction winner got a relative bargain by paying $1,000,100. Four of the previous five win-ners each paid more than $2 million, and the 2012 winning bid of $3,456,789 remains the most expensive charity item ever sold on eBay.

Other charities have used eBay auctions to suc-cessfully raise money, such as the Grammy Founda-

tion and MusiCares, which has brought in nearly $4 million since 2005.

Buffett is confident this year’s bidding will top 2013 — “I think we’ll beat it by quite a bit” — based on the limits prequalified bidders have set for them-selves.

Buffett isn’t quite sure why people are willing to pay so much for a private audience with Berkshire Hathaway’s chairman and CEO, but he gives Glide part of the credit. The lunches typically last several hours, and Buffett tries to make sure the winners are satisfied.

The only limit on the conversation is what he might invest in next, but any other topic is open, including the billionaire’s investing philosophy and his thoughts on philanthropy and inheritance.

“It goes all over the map,” he said.Traditionally, the winners of the auction dine at

Smith and Wollensky steak house in New York City, which donates at least $10,000 to Glide each year to host the lunch. But in some years, the winner wants to remain anonymous so the lunch happens else-where.

Buffett’s company owns more than 80 subsidiar-ies including insurance, furniture, clothing, jewelry and candy companies, restaurants and natural gas and corporate jet firms, and has major investments in such companies as Coca-Cola Co., IBM and Wells Fargo & Co.

WEDDING: Most believe can’t afford the ideal one

Many do not believe they will be able to afford their ideal wedding.

Those planning on getting married who are be-tween 18 and 44 plan to spend the most, an average of $18,150, while those 65 or older plan to spend the least, at $4,901.

What’s interesting is how Canadians plan to pay for their weddings.

Sixty per cent plan to cover the costs by draw-ing on investments or other savings that either they or their partner have. They also plan to rely on the bride’s and groom’s parents, credits cards and/or lines of credit and contributions from friends through gifts or donations at bachelor parties or stag or doe events.

The study also found that only 28 per cent of Cana-dians who plan on getting married are setting aside a portion of their investments specifically for their future wedding, and more than half admit they could be doing a better job managing their investments to be more financially prepared for their big day.

Canadians plan to spend an average of $5,272 on their honeymoons. Hawaii is the number 1 preferred location by 24 per cent of the people polled, followed by the Caribbean, Europe, Australia and New Zea-land, and Canada.

“With two airline tickets from Toronto to Hono-lulu costing around $3,850, and a seven-night stay in a five-star hotel running as high as $4,500, it’s more important than ever that couples factor in the full range of wedding costs to ensure they can afford their dream wedding and honeymoon as well,” said Julie Barker-Merz, CEO of BMO InvestorLine. “Have a plan and monitor your investments regularly — this will help keep financial stress to a minimum as the big day approaches.”

Understanding your investment goals, time ho-rizon and risk tolerance are crucial to maximizing your returns and helping you meet your wedding goals. Effectively using a tax free savings account is a great way to save money for a key life event, such as a wedding, because your investment can be with-drawn at any time completely without tax and then reinvested later, Barker-Merz suggests.

“Your wedding is a key life event that can be a significant event, not only for the couple but poten-tially for parents and other family members as well,” Barker-Merz said. “Regardless of who’s covering the costs of your big day, it’s critical to get the most of your savings by investing early and wisely. It’s also important to have open and transparent conversa-tions with your soon-to-be spouse and other loved ones regarding how the wedding will be financed. This will help avoid any confusion or misunder-standings on who’s responsible for what.”

APPLICATIONS: HundredsA spokeswoman for Health Canada did not re-

spond directly to questions about the department’s ability to handle the massive influx of licence appli-cations.

But Sara Lauer said of the 858 received as of May 20, 370 were returned as incomplete, 149 were re-fused and 30 withdrawn.

That still leaves 289 applications stacked in the department’s inbox for review, which is time-con-suming.

“Before a licence is issued ... producers must demonstrate how they meet extensive personnel security checks, physical security requirements, record-keeping equipment, and quality control re-quirement,” Lauer said.

“The review process includes a file review fol-lowed by site inspections. The licensing process is rigorous, considering the quality standards required and the risk of diversion of cannabis to the illicit market.”

The potential market is huge. Health Canada es-timates medical marijuana sales will hit $1.3 billion annually by 2024, with some 450,000 registered users.

Under the old rules, more than 30,000 patients were authorized to possess medical marijuana. An estimated 500,000 Canadians currently use cannabis for medical purposes — acquired from all sources, official and illicit — based on survey projections from 2012.

Lauer says 5,120 patients have signed on with li-cenced producers under the new system, and there is sufficient supply to meet anticipated demand.

Even so, Health Canada has stockpiled some 500 kilograms of dried marijuana from its original sup-plier, Prairie Plant Systems, and has imported an-other 100 kilograms from The Netherlands. The de-partment has also held discussions with Israel about possible imports.

About 60 strains of commercial marijuana are currently on offer from sanctioned suppliers, most priced at between $8 and $12 a gram. Medical users typically consume between one and three grams daily.

HELICOPTERS: Disappointment

“EASA expressed disappointment that we had not given them a heads up about this exemption and about our intention to consider it,” said a June 17, 2011 email from Transport Canada’s director of policy and regulatory authority.

Emails between the agencies say the exception has also given the Mirabel, Que.-based company, a subsidiary of U.S. conglomerate Textron, a competi-tive advantage in more than a dozen other countries around the world.

Days after the complaint, the department’s direc-tor of national aircraft certification wrote to the FAA that Canada have every intention of being “as transparent as possible” on a decision “we know may have repercussions on the rotocraft industry world.” U.S. and European officials were deeply skeptical, worried about the impact on safety and wondered whether Canada was making the change to just please Bell. They were also uneasy about the secrecy and urged Canadian officials to bring the discussion out of the back rooms.

“We must also consider whether this is an indus-try-wide concern, or a single companies (sic) busi-ness concern,” said a U.S. official, whose name was censored from an email, dated July 7, 2014.

“In other words, what’s good for Bell may or may not be good for the industry.

“If it is an industry wide issue, we would welcome a public de-bate with industry and regulators to consider the need for future rule-making.”

Arsenio Hall Show cancelled after

one season

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The Arsenio Hall Show has been cancelled because of low ratings, ending Hall’s late-night come-back bid after a single season.

Hall’s bid to recreate the success he enjoyed 20 years ago failed to find a big enough audi-ence in the ever-crowd-ed TV market.

CBS Television Pro-duction had previously announced Hall’s syn-dicated show would be back for a second sea-son, but faced the pros-pect of stations moving it to lesser time slots as ratings fell.

In a statement, Hall said he knew launch-ing the show would be a challenge.

“I’m gratified for

the year we’ve had and proud of the show we created,” the actor and comedian added.

The show is in re-runs and won’t resume production, a show spokesman said. The last original episode aired May 21.

When Hall began his original series in 1989,

he was seen as the cool alternative to Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show on NBC. Guests including sax playing-presidential candidate Bill Clinton helped push Hall into the spotlight.

By 1994, with in-creased competition from new Tonight host Jay Leno and CBS’ David Letterman, Hall’s rat-ings had slipped and the show ended.

The cancellation of Hall’s show returns the late-night talk show scene to almost uniform-

ly white male hosts, with a few exceptions such as Tavis Smiley on PBS.

Man who accosted Brad Pitt pleads no contest

battery Friday and was ordered to stay away from the actor and Holly-wood red carpet events.

Vitalii Sediuk entered the plea during a court appearance Friday after-noon, two days after he leaped from a fan area and made contact with Pitt at the Maleficent pre-miere. He was sentenced to three years of proba-tion and attend a year’s worth of psychological counselling.

Sediuk, 25, was also ordered to stay away from Pitt’s partner An-gelina Jolie and stay 500 yards away from the Hollywood block where movie premieres and the Academy Awards are hosted.

He was also ordered to stay away from LA Live, a downtown en-tertainment complex where Sediuk crashed the Grammy Awards in 2013.

First issues of rare comics selling to highest bidder


LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The first glimpses of iconic heroes Superman, Batman and Flash are part of a rare comic book collection a Kentucky man is auctioning off to the highest bidders.

Paducah insurance execu-tive John C. Wise decided it was time to sell the collec-tion he’s been a c c u m u l a t i n g over three de-cades, revisit-ing a childhood pastime that he picked up again in the 1980s after he became es-tablished in his career.

“I think it’s a good timing for the market, and good tim-ing for me at age 62,” said Wise, who moved to Kentucky from his hometown of Rock-ford, Illinois, to attend college.

“It’s not like I’m not going to take them with me.”

The books Wise is auction-ing sold for as little as 10 cents when they were published, many in the late 1930s and 1940s.

Some of the issues in good condition can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He is auctioning about 175 comics individually, and on-line bidders have already com-mitted about a half-million dollars to the auction, which ends Tuesday.

Among the offerings is a pristine issue of Flash Comics No. 1 from 1940, which tells the story of how college student Jay Garrick gained super-hu-man speed by inhaling fumes in a lab accident.

“This copy is in incredible high-grade condition and is the second-best copy known to exist,” comic book expert Vin-cent Zurzolo said in an email message.

Zurzulo is co-owner of New York-based ComicConnect.com, the online auction house that is selling Wise’s collec-tion.

By Friday evening, the bid-ding on that book alone had reached $91,000.

Bids on the first editions of Superman, Batman and the Flash from Wise’s collection

totalled $218,000 on Friday.Wise first started collecting

comics at age 12, and sold his first collection to buy a car as a teenager.

He picked up the hobby again later in life, and started frequenting Comic-Con in San Diego, where he eventually bought a second home.

Wise and Zurzolo said the exploding popularity of super heroes in movies and TV make

it an oppor-tune time to c a p i t a l i z e on valuable comics.

“ T h e blockbuster movies are bringing in new collec-

tors and investors into the vin-tage comic market on a daily basis,” Zurzolo said.

Wise is also selling a copy of Action Comics No. 1, which is the debut of Superman and is considered the birth of the comic book super hero.

A well-preserved copy of the 1938 comic sold for a re-cord $2.1 million in 2011.

Wise said he’s hoping the proceeds from the auctions will help him buy a new home in San Diego and fund college tuitions for his seven grand-children.

Derek returns, handled with careBY HANK STUEVER

ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

Ricky Gervais’ Derek, which re-turned to Netflix with six new episodes that recently aired on British televi-sion, is a quiet and hopeful little com-edy about social behavior, as seen and understood by a man who is . . . well, what is Derek?

Gervais, who stars as Derek Noakes, carefully avoids providing viewers with a diagnosis for his character, which he first performed in a stand-up comedy routine more than a decade ago.

He has said that Derek, who works as an aide in a nursing home, isn’t mentally disabled or intellectually challenged.

Perhaps he’s autistic. Not knowing seems to be the entire point: Can’t we just relate to Derek on his own, as he is, beyond a label?

When it had its American debut last fall, Derek deserved a viewer’s wari-ness.

What possible business — what pos-sible reason — could Gervais, whose humor so easily swerves beyond the pale, have in taking on such a role, other than to make fun of a differently abled person or to seek some maud-lin applause for broadening his acting range?

Clad in Derek’s zipper sweaters and exhibiting an array of nervous tics, Gervais has given himself the freedom to assess the human condition; in the ways that matter most, Derek is right in line with Gervais’ other shows — The Office, Extras, Life’s Too Short — in

that it revels in the inescapable truths found in awkward situations.

So relax: Derek is an honest and of-ten charming endeavor.

As with the geriatric hospital wing seen in Getting On (both the British version and HBO’s excellent Ameri-can remake), Derek is fully comfortable with showing us the experience of ag-

ing and dying. “I loves old people,” Derek says

about his job. “I think I’ve learned ev-erything I know from old people.” This is refreshing news after so many shows that mostly mock the elderly.

The show handles its subject matter with remarkable care as Derek faces new, sometimes upsetting situations

this season. His alcoholic father becomes a resi-

dent at the nursing home, while a new employee seems intent on disrupting the facility’s pleasant routines.

Meanwhile, Derek’s boss, Hannah (Kerry Godliman), and her boyfriend, Tom (Brett Goldstein), are trying to conceive — an effort Derek has an en-thusiastic and clinical curiosity about, going so far as to dig Hannah’s preg-nancy tests out of the trash can.

Though it leans on some exhausted tropes — especially Gervais’ depen-dence on the mockumentary format — Derek wisely heaps its dirtiest humor on a single character, Derek’s perpet-ually drunk friend Kev (David Earl), whose appetites for sex and sloth stand in stark contrast to Derek’s generous and naive spirit.

The idea is that Derek simply doesn’t know better, that he cannot recognize Kev’s repulsiveness enough to shun it. Or, as the show repeatedly reminds us, perhaps Derek has the wisdom to see past everyone’s faults — including Kev’s.

Tone is everything here. In reaching for tenderness, Derek sometimes wan-ders briefly into the sugary sweet; in going for laughs, it sometimes forgets to effectively conclude a story arc.

But overall, Derek is a poignant and funny character sketch. All it really wants to tell us is that everyone ought to be lucky enough to find that place where they belong.

Kings 5 Blackhawks 4 OTCHICAGO — When it comes

to Game 7, Los Angeles truly is the king of the road.

Alec Martinez scored at 5:47 of overtime, and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Sunday night to advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in three years.

Los Angeles improved to 7-0 in elimination games with its third Game 7 win on the road this post-season. It will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday night.

“We’ve battled back so many times this year and so many times in these playoffs, we said, ’Why not again to-day?”’ said Justin Williams, who had a goal and an assist. “It was a total team effort, ev-ery single guy here giving ev-erything they’ve got.”

Martinez’s shot went off Blackhawks defenceman Nick Leddy and fluttered over goalie Corey Crawford, stun-ning the sellout crowd at the United Center and leading to a wild on-ice celebration for Los Angeles. Leddy and Craw-ford were hunched over as the Kings gathered in a big huddle along the boards.

“I didn’t really see it go in,” Martinez said. “I know it went off a couple bodies. I just tried to get it through and fortunate-ly it went in.”

Patrick Sharp scored twice for the Blackhawks, who blew a 2-0 lead. Brandon Saad had a goal and an assist, and Patrick

Kane had two more assists.Chicago’s loss means De-

troit remains the last NHL team to win consecutive titles in 1997 and 1998.

“I’ve lost some tough games but nothing like tonight,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenn-eville said.

The Kings became the first team to play 21 games through the first three rounds of the playoffs and make it to the NHL finals. The 2002 Ava-lanche and 1993 Maple Leafs also played the maximum amount of games through three series, but they lost in Game 7 of the conference championships.

Los Angeles is the only team to play all three of those Game 7s on the road.

“You need everybody when you get to Game 7. You’re not into the individual part of it,” Kings coach Darryl Sut-ter said. “There’s always guys that score big goals, make big plays. But you need everybody in your lineup.”

Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who once held a 3-1 lead in the se-ries, only to have the Black-hawks come back to force Game 7. Jeff Carter scored his ninth playoff goal in the first, and Marian Gaborik had the tying goal midway through the third period.

The Kings also got 37 saves from Jonathan Quick in an-other resilient performance for Sutter’s team. Los Angeles trailed San Jose 3-0 in its first-round series and was down 3-2 to top-seeded Anaheim in the

second round before rallying each time.

“It’s just a great group to be part of,” Quick said. “I feel very fortunate to be with the guys. Obviously our jour-ney’s not done yet and we’ve got a lot of work here coming up. New York’s an awesome team. They beat great teams, so they’re battle-tested as well so we’ve got a lot to get ready for.”

Gaborik, Williams and Mike Richards each improved to 7-0 in Game 7s. Sutter moved to

7-3 in such games, breaking a tie with Blackhawks adviser Scotty Bowman and Pat Burns for the NHL record for most coaching wins in Game 7s.

Sharp sent a big power-play drive past Quick to give the Blackhawks a 4-3 lead at 18:25 of the second.

But Gaborik responded with his NHL-best 12th playoff goal at 7:17 of the third, setting the stage for a frantic finish to regulation.

Quick turned away prime opportunities for Sharp and

Bryan Bickell before he made a terrific save on Andrew Shaw in the final seconds. Dustin Brown had a great rush to the net for Los Angeles that he nearly completed for a breathtaking score.

Jonathan Toews also scored for the Blackhawks, and Craw-ford finished with 27 saves.

“This was a tough way to go down. This one’s going to sting for a while,” Toews said.

Game of thrones


PARIS — Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard made his-tory for Canada on Sunday as both powered into the quarter-finals of the French Open.

Eighth-seeded Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., dispatched Spain’s Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, while Bouchard cruised past Germany’s Angel-ique Kerber 6-1, 6-2.

“I’m not surprised to make by first Grand Slam quarter-final but I would not have thought I would have done it first here on clay,” said Ra-onic. “I’ve always felt I could play well on clay.

“The key is not making much of a change in my game just for the clay. I’ve been try-ing to keep what I’ve been do-ing on the hardcourts.

Raonic will be the first Ca-nadian man to play a Grand Slam quarter-final since Mike Belkin at the 1968 Australia Championships, which was re-named the Australian Open the following year. He is also the fourth Canadian man in history to reach the last eight at a major: Robert Powell (1908, 1910 and 1912 Wimble-don), William Johnston (1922-23 US Championships) and Belkin. Bouchard is the first Canadian woman to make the quarter-finals in Paris since Helen Kelesi did it in 1989.

Raonic fired only six aces but went up an early break in each of the three sets in a con-test which lasted less than two hours.

“It’s been working out well for me,” said Raonic. “If I can put this level of tennis togeth-er I believe that I have it in myself (to win a Grand Slam title).”

Raonic will face Serbian second seed Novak Djokovic, a winner over France’s Jo-Wil-fried Tsonga 6-1, 6-4, 6-1. Djok-ovic beat Raonic in a Rome semifinal last month.

“I’m happy about this win, there are a lot of good things that can come from it,” said Raonic. “I’m happy with my level and it’s showing in my results. It’s also due to all the

work I’ve been putting in.”Earlier, Bouchard needed

just 52 minutes to defeat Ker-ber. She’ll face Spain’s Carla Suarez Navarro in the quar-ter-finals of the women’s tour-nament.

“I’m confident and I really believe in my skills. I believe I can play with the best girls out there,” said Bouchard. “She’s top 10, so I respect her. She can play some really good tennis. I was really mentally prepared for anything, for a battle.

“That mindset kind of helped me, it made me realize

whatever happens I can deal with it on the court. I was real-ly going for my shots. That was my intention and it worked.”

Bouchard stormed to her victory with 30 winners and 11 unforced errors. She broke Kerber on four of seven occa-sions as she took revenge for a US Open second-round loss to the German last year.

Bouchard never wavered as she dominated Kerber to win her ninth straight match, the longest win streak of her ca-reer.


Blue Jays 4 Royals 0TORONTO — Mark Buehrle

is putting his faith in the field-ing of his Toronto Blue Jays teammates and it’s paying off.

“I need defence behind me,” Buehrle said. “It’s a key. I don’t strike out many guys so the ball is put in play.”

The results showed again for the Blue Jays’ soft-throw-ing left-hander who became the first 10-game winner in the major leagues on Sunday in Toronto’s 4-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

By working quickly and ef-ficiently, Buehrle pitched eight strong innings and was supported by home runs from Dioner Navarro and Edwin Encarnacion as well as some solid defence. The game was played in a brisk two hours 14 minutes.

“It’s not luck,” Blue Jays right-fielder Jose Bautista said. “He’s pitching great, throwing strikes, keeping peo-ple off balance and allowing us a chance to play defence behind him. It’s no surprise that every time he pitches there are plenty of good defen-sive plays made. He keeps ev-erybody engaged in the game because he works quick. It’s been awesome to play behind him this year.”

Buehrle (10-1) held the Roy-als to six hits and one walk while striking out three to win his sixth straight decision.

“I don’t know if it’s one of those things where work-ing fast keeps them on their toes and ready to field stuff,” Buehrle said. “I don’t if that is the key to it. Again I just try to get the ball and throw it and I know the guys like to play behind you when it’s a quick game. I need those guys all over the place when I’m pitching.”

Toronto manager John Gib-bons thought it was one of

Buehrle’s best performances this season.

“Today (Buehrle) was as good as he has been all year,” said Gibbons. “He has real-ly been great, seems like ev-ery time I come in here you have to describe it the same way. That’s what he does, he keeps you off balance and hits both sides of the plate. He’s a pitcher. ... He topped off a nice home stand for us.”

Left-hander Aaron Loup took over in the ninth from Buehrle after Encarnacion’s two-run homer in the eighth had extended the lead to four runs.

The Blue Jays (34-24) took the final two games of the four-game series to gain a split with the Royals (26-30) and finish their home stand at 8-2.

Toronto has won 21 of their past 28 games to take over first place in the American League East.

“(Buehrle) was dynamite,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s traditionally tough on us but he’s 10-1 now, he’s tough on everybody. He’s a master at what he does. He commands the baseball so well, changes speeds off everything he has. He has the ability to read the hitter’s reaction to the pitch before to know what he’s going to throw next. If the hitter is gearing up, he backs off, if the hitter is backing off, he gears up.

“He just pitched a phenom-enal game. He’s just really, re-ally good at keeping you off balance.”

Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie (2-5) allowed eight hits and two runs in seven innings to go 10 starts without a win af-ter winning his first two starts of the season. Guthrie allowed two walks and had five strike-outs before he was replaced by right-hander Aaron Crow in the eighth.

CALGARY — The Calgary Stamped-ers are less crowded at quarterback this season, but there is still heavy competition for the starter’s job.

The Stampeders employed a three-man rotation in 2013 mainly because of an early-season injury to Drew Tate.

Kevin Glenn started the majority of games, but Bo Levi Mitchell was a busy third-stringer. He won his three starts and came off the bench to lead Calgary to another when Glenn was also injured.

Glenn was taken in the off-season expansion draft by the Ottawa Red-blacks and subsequently dealt to the B.C. Lions, which leaves Tate and Mitchell vying to lead the offence of a team that posted a league-best 14-4 re-cord last season.

“It brings out the best in us and I think that being said, we could be a starting point for the team,” Tate said Sunday on the first day of training camp. “If the quarterbacks are bat-tling, everyone else is battling kind of thing.”

Tate, 29, was anointed Calgary’s starter two years ago when Henry Bur-ris was dealt to Hamilton. But injuries have limited the six-foot, 190-pound pivot to 153 completions over the past two seasons.

A throwing arm injury on July 6 last year and a subsequent setback side-lined him until October. Training camp reps will test the durability of the arm, Tate says.

“Feels good right now. Just trying to be smart with it,” he said. “I feel it’s all moderation with the volume we have. It’s a lot of volume and it’s really hard to mimic that in the off-season, the kind of volume we have, especially in camp.

“Ever since I was three feet tall, I’ve only had one speed and getting inju-ries, it make you have to change your approach. So far so good. It’s only the a.m. of Day 1, so a lot of ball left.”

Mitchell, 24, completed 69 per cent of his passes for 1,156 yards and 10 touchdowns last year. Six-foot-four and 204 pounds, Mitchell says there’s no jealousy between he and Tate.

“We’re friends through and through, no matter what,” Mitchell says. “When he makes a great play, I’m not looking down saying ’I’ve got to make a better one.’ I’m going out there, congratulat-ing him and slapping him on the butt and saying ’good play.’

“If you look at last year, we went with three quarterbacks. I know there’s not many teams in the league that are going to play one guy for 18 games ev-ery single snap, so you’ve got to be ready. We’re going to do whatever we can to help each other prepare for the

season.”The two Texans both signed con-

tract extensions in the off-season and bring different qualities to the table, says head coach and general manager John Hufnagel.

“I guess the best way I could ex-plain it is Drew is more of a jitterbug,” Hufnagel explained. “He’ll make plays out of nothing, just because of his mo-bility and elusiveness and great vision and accuracy.

“Bo is a little bit of a stronger-armed guy. He has the ability to move around and make plays, but he’s more of a pocket guy and throw the ball down the field.”

The Stampeders lost in the 2013 West Division final to the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders, who went onto win the Grey Cup in Regina.

In addition to taking Glenn in the expansion draft, the Redblacks also selected Stampeder offensive line-man J’Micheal Deane and safety Eric Fraser. Ottawa also hired away defen-sive co-ordinator Rick Campbell to be their head coach.

Rich Stubler replaced Campbell after two seasons as B.C.’s defensive co-ordinator. Stampeder offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson signed a three-year contract extension in No-vember.

Hufnagel swung a deal with Ottawa to obtain the first overall pick the Ca-nadian college draft in May and used it to choose Laval offensive lineman Pierre Lavertu. The hope is he’s a fast adapter to the CFL as centre Brett Jones was in winning the league’s rookie award last season.

Federer falls short of quarter-finals


PARIS — So unbeatable for so long until the closing days of Grand Slam tournaments, Roger Federer is sud-denly accumulating early exits.

Federer’s streak of nine consecutive quarter-finals at the French Open end-ed Sunday with a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 fourth-round loss to 18th-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia.

“A lot of regrets,” Federer said. “I just couldn’t kind of figure it out.”

The 17-time Grand Slam champion had not left Roland Garros so soon since 2004, when he was beaten in the third round by Gustavo Kuerten.

After that decade-old setback, though, Federer made at least the quarter-finals at a record 36 consecu-tive major tournaments, a streak that ended with a second-round loss at Wimbledon last year.

Federer also put together record Slam runs of 10 finals and 23 semifi-nals in a row when he was at his domi-nant best.

Now the 32-year-old Federer has bowed out before the quarter-finals at three of the last four majors.

“I think it was the biggest, probably, win of my career,” said Gulbis, who most certainly could have dispensed with the word “probably.”

Addressing spectators who sang Federer’s first name between points, Gulbis said: “I’m sorry I had to win. I know all of you like Roger.”

The result fit with the topsy-turvy nature of this tournament: Both reign-ing Australian Open champions, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka and No. 2 Li Na, lost in the first round; No. 1 Serena Williams left in the second round.

Gulbis now plays No. 6 Tomas Berdych, who eliminated the last American man, No. 10 John Isner. In another quarter-final, No. 2 Novak Djokovic will face No. 8 Milos Raonic.

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and No. 24 Fernando Verdasco set up a fourth-round meeting by finishing off victories in matches suspended Satur-day night because of fading light.

In women’s action, 2012 champion Maria Sharapova ran off the last nine games to come back and beat No. 19 Samantha Stosur 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 for a quar-ter-final berth against 35th-ranked Gar-bine Muguruza of Spain, the 20-year-old who stunned Williams last week. No. 18 Eugenie Bouchard will face No. 14 Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain in another quarter-final.

The fourth-seeded Federer’s re-sume includes the 2009 French Open title, and he was a four-time runner-up in Paris to Rafael Nadal.

But Federer was hardly in top form Sunday, making 59 unforced errors and getting broken twice while serving for a set.

That included at 5-3, 40-15 in the second, when Federer sent an over-head right to Gulbis, who whipped a backhand passing winner.

“I was lucky, I have to say,” Gul-bis said about that point. “I was really lucky.”

Said Federer: “Things got tough from then on for, like, a half-hour for me.”

He lost the last five points of the second-set tiebreaker, then dropped the third set, too.

Another key moment came when Gulbis left the court with a trainer to

take a medical timeout while trailing 5-2 in the fourth. As he walked out, Gulbis motioned to Federer, as if ask-ing for permission to go.

When Gulbis returned, some fans jeered and whistled at him, and he pointed to his lower back as if to say, “Hey, I was injured.”

At his news conference, Federer alternated between sounding a little perturbed about the lengthy intermis-sion — and resigned to the idea that what Gulbis did was within the rules.

“In the past, I guess, it’s been abused much more than today, but still, what can you tell?” Federer said. “He didn’t look hurt in any way. But if you can use it, you know, might as well do it.”

ENDS STREAK OF NINE CONSECUTIVE

QUARTER-FINALS AT FRENCH OPEN


Switzerland’s Roger Federer returns the ball during the fourth round match of the French Open tennis tournament against Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis at the Roland Garros stadium, in Paris, France, Sunday.

Open competition for Stampeders starting QB job

CUP: Epic seriesThe finale of the epic series be-

tween the last two Stanley Cup winners attracted a frenzied crowd of 22,315 that included Hall of Fame basketball player Charles Barkley and Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall. And they were treated to another heart-stopping classic full of big shots and great saves by each side. Just like in Game 5, a 5-4 double-overtime victory for Chicago, the Blackhawks got off to a fast start, only to have the Kings come storming back. Kane picked up an assist on each of the first two goals, finding Saad with a slick pass from behind the net, and then getting to the right place at the right time for a lucky power-play car-om that went right to Toews for an easy tap-in at 8:36 of the first.

The comeback Kings, who seem to play their best the closer they get to the brink of elimination, then went to work. Carter batted a rebound out of the air and past Crawford at 16:31, and Williams scored his seventh of the playoff 51 seconds later, tying it at 2.

It was Williams’ seventh career goal in a Game 7, tying Glenn Anderson for the NHL record. Williams added an assist on Martinez’s winning score, breaking Doug Gilmour’s record for most points in such games with 14.

“They find a way, L.A., they’re never out of a hockey game, they’re never out of a series,” Quenneville said. “They’re dangerous.”

OPEN: Felt goodShe snapped up the opening set in

22 minutes and was equally lethal in the second as Kerber failed on the only

break point she had during the match.“I just felt good out there, I executed

my game plan really well, so I’m happy with that,” said Bouchard. “There are always things to improve, and I’m just going to focus on that tomorrow and try to do even better my next match.”

Victory lifted her career record against top 10 opponents to 5-10. Her victims this season included No. 10 Sara Errani at Indian Wells in March and No. 8 Jelena Jankovic last April in Charleston.

Bouchard has a 13-4 record at Grand Slams and is 29-11 on the season.

JAYS: Heads upNavarro hit his third homer of the

season with one out in the second to open the scoring.

The Blue Jays scored again in the fourth. Juan Francisco led off with a double on a liner that Kansas City right-fielder Norichika Aoki misplayed into a double. Francisco moved to third on a single by Brett Lawrie. He scored when Anthony Gose forced Lawrie at second on a grounder to shortstop.

A key defensive play came in the sixth after a slight lapse. Eric Hosmer led off a bloop to centre that turned into a double when the Blue Jays left second uncovered. But shortstop Jose Reyes cut down Hosmer at third after fielding Billy Butler’s grounder and Buehrle finished the inning unscathed.

“In a two-run game, that’s big,” Gib-bons said. “That’s what good shortstops do, he knew he had no play at first base. ... I’ve seen it, too, through my career that the third baseman doesn’t always get there, so (third baseman) Francisco was heads up to get there himself.”

Encarnacion, who hit 16 homers in May to lead the majors, doubled the Blue Jays’ lead with his 19th homer of the season in the eighth .

MALMO, Sweden — Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee quickly won a playoff against Stephen Gallacher of Scotland and France’s Victor Dubuisson to clinch the Nordea Masters on Sunday.

Jaidee birdied the par-5 18th at PGA Sweden’s Lake Course while Gallacher and Dubuisson could only make par.

Earlier, the 44-year-old Jaidee hit six birdies and an eagle three on the 11th to finish in 7-under 65 and an overall 16-under 272 for his sixth European title.

“I worked hard today,” Jaidee said. “I started with three birdies in a row, had another one on six, then a good comeback on 11.”

He said he was nervous on the last few holes.“The golf course is wide open, you have to hit

good golf shots and the weather helped a little bit,” he said.

Matsuyama makes good at Memorial


DUBLIN, Ohio — With every swing, Hideki Matsuyama appeared to join a cast of top players throwing away a chance to win the Memorial.

A tee shot in the water on the 16th for double bogey. An approach over the back of the green on the 17th that led to bogey. And then a drive to the right that made the Japanese star so disgusted that he lightly slammed his club into the turf, and the head of the driver broke off.

The ball hit a tree and took one last bounce back into the fairway, and Mat-suyama seized on the break. He took dead aim with a 7-iron to just outside 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Kevin Na, and then won for the first time in America with a 10-foot par putt on the first extra hole.

“Right from the 15th hole, I had a lot of missed shots,” Matsuyama said. “The double bogey at 16, bogey at 17, not a real good tee shot — I thought — at 18. But when I saw the ball on the fairway on the 18th hole there, that’s when I was able to think I still have a chance.”

The 22-year-old Matsuyama earned validation as one of the game’s bright young stars Sunday by closing with a 3-under 69 and making two clutch putts on the 18th hole for his sixth ca-reer victory, the previous five on the Japan Golf Tour. This was his first win against a field of the world’s top play-ers.

“I just think you’ve just seen the start of what’s going to be truly one of your world’s great players over the next 10 to 15 years,” tournament host Jack Nicklaus said.

Nicklaus spent much of the back nine in the broadcast booth, and it was a brand of golf that was unfamiliar to golf’s greatest champion. The Memori-al became only the latest event where proven players faltered badly.

Masters champion Bubba Watson had a one-shot lead with five holes to play. He was 3 over the rest of the way. Adam Scott, the No. 1 player in the world, was tied for the lead until play-ing the last seven holes in 4 over.

“The whole thing is frustrating as

I stand here right now,” Scott said af-ter his 71. “But everyone is going to feel like that. We all could have done something different. If we all did, who knows what the result would be?”

Scott fell apart by hitting one shot into the water, taking two shots to get out of a bunker and losing all hope when his third shot to the par-5 15th hit the pin and caromed back into the fairway, leading to a bogey.

Watson dropped three shots by hooking two tee shots. The most dam-aging was his drive on the 15th that was so high, so powerful and so far right that it cleared the trees and went into a neighbourhood, leading a dou-ble bogey.

Needing a birdie on the 18th, his shot looked good until it took one small hop and stayed in the rough. A few inches closer and it would have fed down the slope for a short birdie chance. He closed with a 72 and fin-ished third, moving him to No. 3 in the world ahead of the injured Tiger Woods.

“It’s tough,” Watson said, who was going for his third win of the year. “I made one bad decision. If I hit 4-wood off the tee instead of driver on the par 5, we make 5 and we win by one. But I made double, so we lost by one.”

Na finished his round of 64 about two hours earlier. He was in the club-house at Muirfield Village, leaning against two pillows on a sofa as he watched the calamity unfold, even jok-ing he might win by not hitting another shot. Thanks to Matsuyama, he had to. And it wasn’t pretty.

Na hooked his tee shot on the 18th in the playoff, and it went into the creek. He still had 10 feet for bogey when Matsuyama made the winning putt. Na did not speak to reporters. A PGA Tour official tracked him down in the parking lot, and he gave credit to Matsuyama for making a great putt.

Adding to the bizarre ending was how Matsuyama played the extra hole.

It was not an angry slam of the driv-er after his tee shot on the 18th in reg-ulation, and he was shocked to see the head fall off. He could have replaced the club because the playoff is not con-sidered part of the round, but he had no replacement.

Victory vaults Stacy Lewis to top of world rankingsBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Stacy Lewis is back on top.

And this time, she’s ready to stay there for a while.Lewis won the ShopRite LPGA Classic on Sunday

to take the top spot in the world ranking from Inbee Park, finishing with a 4-under 67 for a six-stroke vic-tory.

No. 1 for four weeks early last year, Lewis ended Park’s 59-week run in the top spot.

“It feels great,” Lewis said. “I feel like I’ve played a lot of good, consistent golf over the last year and I felt like I deserve to be here. I didn’t feel like I stumbled into it.”

Lewis finished at 16-under 197 on the Bay Course at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club and earned $225,000 for her second victory of the year and 10th overall. Also the 2012 winner at Seaview, she won the North Texas LPGA Shootout last month after finish-ing second six times in her previous 16 events since winning the Women’s British Open in August.

She joins Sorenstam (1998, 2002, 2005), Juli Inkster (1986, 1988) and Betsy King (1987, 1995, 2001) as the only multiple winners in the tournament.

“That’s a pretty good list of people there,” Lewis said. “That’s not too bad. Wow, that’s really cool.”

Christina Kim was second after a 72, marking her best finish since 2010.

Park closed with a 70 to tie for eighth at 7 un-der. She’s winless in 10 tour starts this season after sweeping the first three majors last year and finish-ing the season with six victories.

“It is a little bit relief not to have the big heavy crown on my head,” Park said. “It’s not the end of the world.”

Lewis finished a stroke off the tournament scor-ing record set by Annika Sorenstam in 1998 and 2005. The 29-year-old Texan opened with a 67 and had a 63 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Kim into the final round.

On Sunday, she was hardly threatened, using bird-ies on the third and fourth holes to open up a two-stroke lead before picking up two more consecutive

birdies to open the back nine — holing a 25-foot putt on No. 10 and a 15-footer on No. 11.

Despite her first bogey in 42 holes at No. 12 and then missing two short putts on No. 17 for another bogey, Lewis had built up enough of a cushion to cruise home with the largest margin of victory in the tournament’s 26-year history.

“I don’t know what it is about this place,” Lewis said.

“It’s just really special to me. I’ve played some really good golf here, and it’s just mind-boggling to think I have 10 wins.”

Jennifer Johnson (72), Haeji Kang (69), Anna Nor-dqvist (70) and Gerina Piller (70) tied for third at 9 under.

Johnson opened with a course-record 62 and fol-lowed with 70 for a spot in Sunday’s final pairing with Lewis and Kim. But the 22-year-old Californian had a double bogey and two bogeys on the back nine to fall out of contention.

Kim had a run of three straight birdies on No. 9-11, but shot 3 over on the final seven holes, includ-ing a double bogey on 18.

“I hadn’t been in contention in a while so I kind of forgot what it was like having nerves,” Kim said. “And it kind of showed on the last hole.”

Lewis smiled and pumped her fist to the crowd as she walked down the fairway at 18, relishing her new place atop the world ranking.

Her brief stay as No. 1 last year was a rocky one, with Lewis admitting that she had trouble dealing with the extra obligations that came with the top spot.

“With a good team of people around me,” Lewis believes she’s more prepared to handle those duties and be the face of the LPGA Tour.

“The last time it was taken away from me in an off-week when we weren’t even playing, so I’m definitely just not going to take it for granted and really enjoy it this time. Now I know all the extra things that come along with it. But I’m ready for it this time.”

Karrie Webb, last year’s champion, tied for eighth after a 67.

Third-ranked Lydia Ko bounced back from a sec-ond-round 75 to shoot 69 and finish at 1 under.

Tom Pernice Jr. wins playoff in Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic


DES MOINES, Iowa — For the second time in less than a year, Tom Pernice Jr. hit a crucial shot on the 17th hole on his way to a victory.

This time, Pernice needed one more big shot to secure the win.

Pernice birdied the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Doug Garwood on Sunday to win the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic.

“I was calm all day. I played it with the right edge and I stroked it and it went right in the hole,” Per-nice said.

Pernice won for the third time on the 50-and-over tour, closing with a 3-under 69 to match Garwood at 12-under 204 at Wakonda Club.

Garwood, making only his fourth start of the sea-son, birdied the final two holes of regulation for a 71.

They played the par-4 18th hole twice in the play-off. Pernice won with a putt from roughly 8 feet after they opened the playoff with matching pars.

Pernice’s performance was reminiscent of the 3M Championship last August in Minnesota, when he made a 45-foot putt on No. 17 to win.

He chipped in from roughly 30 feet out to take the lead on Sunday, though Garwood matched that birdie and later forced a playoff.

“I really hit the ball good all week and really kept the ball in play in the fairway when I needed to and holed some key shots at key times,” Pernice said.

Bill Glasson, Jay Haas, Mark Calcavecchia and Michael Allen finished a shot back. Glasson shot 64,

Haas 67, Calcavecchia 70, and Allen 71.Garwood opened the final round with a one-shot

lead but needing to win to earn a full Champions Tour card for the next 12 months. A birdie putt from the fringe on the first hole seemed to portend well for his prospects.

But Garwood bogeyed three consecutive holes — after going par or better on the first 41 holes of the tournament — and went into the back nine tied for first.

Garwood’s fourth bogey of the round, on the par-5 13th hole, appeared to ruin his shot for a career-de-fining win. But Garwood rallied with clutch birdies on the last two holes to stay alive.

Those shots helped Garwood redeem himself for three-putting the final hole of a qualifying tourna-ment with a full exemption at stake in the off-season.

“I gave it away at Q-school. Straight gave it away. Here I didn’t feel like I gave it away because I earned it with the birdies on 17 and 18,” Garwood said.

Garwood’s troubles made for a crowded leader-board for much of the day.

Glasson began Sunday eight shots off the lead. But he jumped atop the leaderboard with the best round of the tournament and sat around for over two hours waiting to see if he’d end up in a playoff.

Haas, a three-time winner of the event, joined him in the clubhouse at 11 under with a birdie on No. 18. Allen also nearly qualified for the playoff before missing a birdie putt on No. 18.

Garwood then sent his approach on the final hole over the green, while Pernice stuck his close enough for a relatively easy winner.

Blades bring in Woods to be GM and head coach

BY DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMANSASKATOON STARPHOENIX

NHL assistant coach Bob Woods has been named the Sas-katoon Blades’ new GM and head coach.

Woods, a native of Leroy, had been an assistant with the Ana-heim Ducks under Bruce Bou-dreau since Dec. 2, 2011. The 46-year-old was also on Bou-dreau’s staff for more than two years with the Washington Capi-tals.

The Blades confirmed the an-nouncement Sunday on their Twit-ter account after Colin Priestner, the team’s managing partner, de-clined comment when The Star-Phoenix reached him earlier in the day about the hiring. Sources initially told The StarPhoenix that the announcement would be made at a Monday press conference.

Before joining Boudreau in Washington, Woods guided its AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, to a Calder Cup championship in 2009.

Woods compiled an 83-47-15 record in two seasons with the Bears.

Blades owner Mike Priestner told The StarPhoenix in March that the new head coach had to have previous head coaching experi-ence.

Since purchasing the Blades

from the Brodsky family last Sep-tember, the Priestners have ex-pressed a desire to see the team play an up-tempo, offensive brand of hockey.

The Ducks scored 266 goals in the regular season in 2013-14, one fewer than Chicago for most in the NHL.

Both Priestners said the new hire had to have a championship-winning pedigree.

Woods won the Calder Cup with Hershey as an assistant coach un-der Boudreau in 2006 and as play-er in 1997.

A former member of the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings, Woods was drafted 201st overall in the 1988 NHL draft by the New Jersey Dev-ils.

The defenceman spent most of his playing career in the ECHL, amassing 159 goals and 523 points. He won the Kelly Cup with the Mississippi Sea Wolves under Boudreau in 1999.

Woods was inducted into the ECHL Hall of Fame in 2012.

One of his sons, Brendan, is a prospect in the Carolina Hurri-canes system.

The Blades had undergone an extensive search to fill their hockey operations positions af-ter the contract of former coach

Dave Struch was not renewed in March and general manager Lorne Molleken parted ways with the organization.

The Blades, rebuilding from hosting the 2013 MasterCard Me-morial Cup, finished with the third-worst record in the WHL and CHL at 16-51-2-3 last season.

Colin Priestner said last month that the hiring committee, which also included team president Steve Hogle, had spoken with ap-proximately 100 applicants to fill the vacancies.

Hogle said Woods was the only person that was offered the job.

Another source told The Star-Phoenix that the group considered Tim Hunter and Perry Pearn, two longtime NHL assistant coaches.

Hunter, who was last an assis-tant with the Washington Capitals, has interviewed for the Vancou-ver Giants’ vacant head coaching position, according to radio sta-tion News 1130.

A third source told The Star-Phoenix that former Blades play-ers Glen Gulutzan and Jason Christie were also interviewed.

Gulutzan, however, was re-tained as an assistant coach by the Vancouver Canucks when John Tortorella was fired last month.

Gulutzan served as a temporary assistant coach for the Blades dur-ing the Memorial Cup while he was between NHL jobs.

Luke Flett fired three goals to lead the Blackfalds Silver-backs to a 12-3 thumping of the visiting Calgary Irish in Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League se-nior C men’s action Friday.

Dylon Cardinal, Troy Klaus and Justin Kinnear each net-ted a pair of goals for the win-ners, who got singles from Scott Ebbert, Adrian Drechsler and Geordin Flett.

LACROSSEDespite collective bargaining impasse, CFL training camps opened Sunday


C F L t r a i n i n g c a m p s opened Sunday amid the un-certainty of a potential play-ers’ strike.

Veterans reported for the start of two-a-day workouts three days after negotiations on a new collective bargain-ing agreement broke down for the second time in as many weeks. The old deal expired at midnight ET on Thursday, the two sides haven’t met since and have no new talks scheduled.

The CFL Players’ Associa-tion has mailed strike ballots to its members but Alberta labour laws could push the start of a strike into next week.

For defensive back Eric Fraser, a union rep for the expansion Ottawa Redblacks, that’s a good thing.

“That’s a lot of time for the (CFLPA) executive and CFL to sit back down and hammer something out,” he said.

“I don’t think we’re too far away right now, but tough decisions are going to have to be made on our end and their end and hopefully we

can nail something out and everyone leaves the negoti-ating table a little upset be-cause they think they gave up a little too much.”

There has been one strike since the formation of the CFLPA in 1965. That was in ’74 when a new agreement was reached during training camp without the loss of reg-ular-season games.

The 2014 regular season is scheduled to kick off June 26. Despite the huge cloud hang-ing over the league, Fraser is confident a deal will be reached.

“I have 100 per cent con-fidence there would be no lockout or strike like (2012 in the NHL) in the CFL,” he said. “You just can’t do it.

“A good deal is going to get done here and I think that’s positive.”

The CFL and players met for 17 hours over two days last week but money remains a major stumbling block after the league signed a five-year TV deal with TSN said to be worth a whopping $42 million annually this off-season. That deal alone would reportedly net teams an extra $2.7 mil-

lion in 2014.The CFLPA is looking for

the salary cap — which was $4.4 million last year — to in-crease to $5.8 million, with a $4.8 million minimum. The league has countered with a $5-million cap offer and boosting the average stipend to $96,000 from $92,917.

The players have amended their revenue-sharing stance. Instead of requesting specific percentages on gate, televi-sion and sponsorship reve-nues, the CFLPA proposed a fixed cap for at least two years.

After the second if league revenues increased by more than $12 million — excluding the Grey Cup — the two sides would renegotiate the cap or the CBA would be terminated at season’s end.

The league would rene-gotiate the cap if revenues increased by $27 million or more in the third year.

Cohon, who called the CFL’s proposal last week it’s last and best, has repeatedly stated owners won’t agree to any revenue-sharing offer be-cause league revenues and profits aren’t enough for the model to work effectively.


DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson handled the pothole at Dover the same way he disposed of a rough patch to start the season.

He won.A week after shaking off a lengthy

winless streak by his championship standards, Johnson raced his way to another routine romp at Dover Inter-national Speedway. He followed last week’s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 with another sensational run at Dover, extending his track victory record to nine.

Johnson was the class of the field in a race red-flagged for 22 minutes to re-pair a pothole in the concrete track.

“Whatever they put in the pothole, it worked awfully well,” Johnson said.

His No. 48 Chevrolet was even bet-ter.

Johnson led 272 of 400 laps, and won consecutive races for the 13th time. The six-time Cup champion swept Do-ver in 2002 and 2009 and won races in 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2013.

Brad Keselowski was second, fol-lowed by Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin.

“For sure, when you come to Do-ver, it’s always the 48,” Kenseth said. “We’ve got to figure out how to get ahead of him.”

Good luck. Johnson’s checkered flag celebrations at Dover have seemingly become a rite of the NASCAR season. He became Dover’s career leader in laps led when he hit the 2,802 mark, and again stamped himself as contend-er for a series-tying seventh champion-ship.

“It’s amazing that we can stay on top of things here with the different generation car, different rules, differ-ent tires,” Johnson said. “This place just fits my style and (crew chief) Chad Knaus’ style.”

His lone regret, that owner Rick Hendrick was not at the track.

Johnson is heating up right as the NASCAR heads into its summer sched-ule. Up next, Pocono, where Johnson won last season and has two other wins.

“We can get on a roll,” he said. “We’ve got some good tracks ahead of us.”

Johnson had some wondering what was wrong after an 0 for 11 start to the season. Turned out, it was nothing racing at some of his favourite tracks couldn’t fix. But Johnson also revealed he had surgery to repair three hernias at the end of last season, which cost the No. 48 team testing time.

“We felt like it was time to shut things down and let the team kind of recoup,” he said.

Johnson never left any doubt his No. 48 Chevrolet was the car to beat, the only drama coming when the race was stopped 160 laps into the race after Ryan Newman’s car pulled up chunks of the track that kicked back and dam-aged Jamie McMurray’s car. The race was soon stopped and crews weren’t allowed to work on the cars.

McMurray’s plea for an exception was denied.

“It killed the front-end,” he said. “Our guys did a really good job recov-

ering here putting all the stuff on and we salvaged what we could.”

More pieces of the track flew up and cracked a window on the pedestrian crossover bridge.

NASCAR officials and safety crews went to work on the potholes and ap-plied a quick-drying concrete mix. Cup races were infamously delayed by pot-holes at Martinsville in 2004 and the 2010 Daytona 500. McMurray won at Daytona in 2010.

“It started to come back up at the end, but I didn’t think it was a ma-jor issue,” Keselowski said. “It was definitely a major issue at first when it happened. I could feel it when I was

driving over it, and you knew it was only going to get worse.”

Kevin Harvick might have wished for a longer delay. Harvick’s lead at the red flag evaporated because of a flat tire not long after racing resumed and he fell two laps behind Johnson. Harvick worked his way back into a 17th-place finish.

Kyle Busch led the first 81 laps before Johnson passed him. Busch’s bid for a tripleheader sweep at Dover would soon end when the No. 18 Toyota slammed into the outside wall. Bowyer moved into Busch’s line, which caused him to wreck 124 laps into the race.

“It was one of those deals where I thought I was clear, obviously, and wasn’t and ruined his day and certain-ly didn’t help mine,” Bowyer said.

Second time’s the charm for Castroneves


DETROIT — Helio Castroneves cel-ebrated in his signature style, climbing a fence, in the same place where he did it for the first time many years ago.

Castroneves’ crew joined him above the track in front of roaring fans and it was fitting because his behind-the-scenes teammates helped him have his way with the competition.

“I did not expect that,” he said af-ter easily winning the second Detroit Grand Prix race of the weekend Sun-day, finishing 1.6836 seconds ahead of Penske Racing teammate Will Power. “They deserved it.

“That was great to see them there.”It was here in Detroit where Cas-

troneves raced to the first of his 29 victories in 2000 and scaled the safety fence.

And, the 39-year-old Brazilian is still winning and climbing with more composure.

“I was able to hold my emotions better,” he said. “I guess I’m getting older.”

Team owner and unofficial race promoter Roger Penske was not a part of the fence-climbing celebration, but he had to be one of the happiest guys on Belle Isle because Castroneves and Power finished first and second.

“You dream about these weekends,” Penske said. “To be as strong as we were and see both guys in the winner’s circle.”

Castroneves’ lead was so large that when he made his final pit stop on Lap

49 he still was ahead when he got back on the track.

The competition got closer after cautions led to restarts with seven and three laps left, but Castroneves could not be caught in part because Power did not want to risk ruining his team-mate’s path to victory by possibly hit-ting him.

“Because of Roger, I definitely wasn’t going to race him hard,” Power said.

Castroneves has 29 IndyCar victo-ries, tying Rick Mears for 11th on the

career.“Oh, really?” Castroneves asked.

“Wow. What an honour.”Castroneves finished 0.060 seconds

behind Ryan Hunter-Reay last week in the Indianapolis 500 in his bid to join Mears as a four-time winner in open-wheel racing’s signature event.

Power won Saturday and played a big part in a sloppy start Sunday.

He was penalized for avoidable con-tact on the opening lap, failing to turn right and causing Josef Newgarden to hit him from behind to trigger a three-

car crash. That led to the first of two cautions within the first ten laps after a false start briefly delayed the race beginning.

Despite a drive-through penalty, Power was able to pull into conten-tion later in the race with aggressive moves.

No one, though, was faster than Cas-troneves.

Hunter-Reay, meanwhile, had a poor ending to a rough weekend after the biggest win of his career.

He started 21st in the 22-car field on Saturday and Sunday because of crashes. Hunter-Reay ended the first race by crashing on the final lap and the second one did not last as long due to an electrical problem knocking him out after 61 laps.

“You name it, we had the problem this weekend,” he said. “I’m just glad to be getting out of here.”

Hunter-Reay left Detroit — head-ing to New York for an appearance Monday night with David Letterman — without the IndyCar points lead.

He entered the weekend with a 40-point lead on Power and exits it in third, 27 points behind Power and eight more behind Castroneves.

“Major hit,” Hunter-Reay acknowl-edged.

Honda had dominated the Detroit Grand Prix the previous two years — in the shadow of Chevy’s world head-quarters — and had the fastest car last week at the Indy 500.

The engine manufacture did not fare better than fifth on Sunday with James Hinchcliffe following Charlie Kimball and Scott Dixon. Pole-sitter Takuma Sato was spun twice, dropping him to 18th.

Theisen-Eaton sets record but falls short in heptathlon at Hypo Meeting


GOETZIS, Austria — A record set-ting performance by Canadian Brianne Theisen-Eaton still wasn’t enough at the IAAF Hypo Meeting.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson won the women’s heptathlon for the fourth British victory in five years at the Hy-po Meet on Sunday after Jessica Ennis-Hill dominated the event from 2010-12.

Ranked third before the final dis-cipline, Johnson-Thompson came sec-ond in the 800 metres to overtake lead-er Nafissatou Thiam of Belgium and Theisen-Eaton, last year’s winner.

Johnson-Thompson won the long jump with a 6.70-metre effort and fin-ished the competition with a personal best of 6,682 points to beat runner-up Theisen-Eaton, who set a Canadian re-cord with 6,641.

“I am disappointed,” Theisen-Eaton said. “I am not satisfied with my per-sonal best because I still have some-thing left in me.

“I just wanted it so badly.”Theisen-Eaton surpassed the record

of 6,599 points set in 2012 by Jessica Zelinka of London, Ont.

Dafne Schippers was third with a new Dutch best mark of 6,545 points, edging fellow Dutchwoman Nadine Broersen by 9 points. Thiam dropped to fifth with 6,508.

“The current level in heptathlon is so high I didn’t think I could win in this field,” Johnson-Thompson said.

“The javelin was a big surprise for me, and the 200 metres went very well.”

Later, Olympic silver medallist Trey Hardee won the men’s decathlon in the American’s first completed event since finishing runner-up at the 2012 London Games.

Hardee, who won the 100 metres and the 110 hurdles, set a year’s best mark of 8,518 points to beat European under-23 champion Kai Kazmirek of Germany by 47 points. Another Ger-man, Rico Freimuth, took third with 8,317.


TRIESTE, Italy — Nairo Quintana showed why he’s considered as cy-cling’s next star by winning the Giro d’Italia on Sunday to follow his runner-up finish in last year’s Tour de France.

The 24-year-old climbing special-ist with the Movistar team won two stages and finished with a 2 minute, 58 second advantage over fellow Colombi-an Rigoberto Uran for his first Grand Tour victory.

“It’s really emotional,” Quintana said. “I didn’t think there would be so many Colombians here today. It was

incredible seeing how much support and how many banners there were.”

One such banner held aloft during the podium celebration with the Co-lombian flag on it read, “The Giro is ours. Gracias muchachos.”

Fabio Aru, a 23-year-old Italian who is also considered a top rider for the future, finished third overall, 4:04 back.

Quintana took the pink jersey by winning the grueling 16th stage over the Gavia and Stelvio climbs then also took the 19th leg, a mountain time trial.

Quintana finished second to Chris Froome in last year’s Tour. While he isn’t planning to enter the French race this year, he has designs on winning it next year.

“We need to look at our plans care-fully,” Quintana said.

GIRO D’ITALIA


OTTAWA — Henry Burris could be seen shaking hands and sign-ing autographs for eager fans long after his teammates had left the field.

The Ottawa Redblacks quarter-back flashed his signature grin for every single fan and showed no sign of wanting to rush off on Sunday. It was clear he was just enjoying the moment.

When the 38-year-old, who turns 39 on Wednesday, signed with the Redblacks back in Feb-ruary he said he was committed to being an active member of the community and so far he’s living up to his word.

“I looked forward to coming here and doing what it takes,” said Burris. “I want to be a spokesper-son with the rest of the guys to get people excited because I’m excited to be here in Ottawa and I look forward to sharing that with everybody.”

Sunday was the first day of training camp for the Redblacks and Burris, along with a number of his teammates, admitted it felt pretty special to be part of some-thing new.

“This is special, no doubt about it,” said Burris. “Seeing the fans watching practice and kids lined up it just shows you how ecstatic fans are to have football back in this city.”

It’s been nine years since CFL football was last played in Ottawa and the Redblacks are looking to make an instant impact, largely due to Burris’ presence.

It’s hard not to get caught up in Burris’ energy. When he talks about his new team it’s with ex-citement and enthusiasm and not the guarded optimism one might expect from someone about to lead an expansion franchise.

“We’ve got some good talent here,” said Burris. “I think we’re going to be competitive and we’ll be fun to watch.”

Landing Burris gave the Red-blacks instant credibility.

After 15 seasons and 226 games in the CFL, Burris is among the league’s career leaders in passing. His 324 touchdown passes, 3,672 completions and 51,529 total yards rank fourth amongst leaders. In addition he’s a two-time Grey Cup champion and was named the Grey Cup MVP in 2008.

“It makes all the difference in the world having (Burris) back there,” said wide receiver Aaron

Hargreaves. “A quarterback is the centre-piece of any team so to have a guy like that with his expe-rience, arm strength and compo-sure he has is definitely benefi-cial.”

Hargreaves believes Burris’ ex-perience will be extremely ben-eficial come game time, but says the QB’s enthusiasm can’t be over-looked.

“The fact that he loves the game and is all smiles and is out here to have a good time is great, but at the same time he’s all busi-ness,” said Hargreaves. “He has that veteran presence and can re-ally settle the huddle down and get the guys focused on the job at hand.

“Having a guy like Henry puts us that much ahead of the curve and on par with any other offence in the league.”

Many might wonder why Bur-ris would choose to sign with a new team at this stage of his ca-reer, but for the married father of two boys the decision was fairly simple.

It came down to family.With relatives in Springfield,

Mass., Burris will finally have the opportunity to play before family and friends.

“It was important to my wife Nicole and I that our boys have

the opportunity to spend more time with family,” said Burris. “I think it’s going to be a great expe-rience.”

Burris also had a number of close friends from the football community rave about Ottawa as a football destination and says he plans on ensuring he and his teammates embrace all the city has to offer.

“I want to find out about all those great restaurants and where to get good poutine,” he said with a laugh. “I’ve heard about Blues-Fest and want to support the other teams in the city. This is going to be home for my family and a lot of other guys.”

With that in mind Burris says he plans on being a supportive role model for his teammates whether it be to discuss plays on the field or where to buy a car.

“I was fortunate to work with some great guys, guys that gave back to me regardless of where I’ve been. Guys like Jeff Garcia, Brett Favre and Dave Dickinson to a number of different people that I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time with,” said Burris. “It was all consistent. Guys worked hard for their own, but also they took opportunities to give it back to you and I want to pass it along to these young guys as well.”

Argonauts running back retires due to serious injury

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Toronto Argonauts star running back Chad Kackert has retired.

The team says Kackert will be its new strength and conditioning coach.

Kackert, the 2012 Grey Cup MVP, suffered a broken ankle late last season. Argos coach Scott Milanovich says it became clear to the Argos and Kackert “that his leg injury would prevent him from competing at a high level.”

“We believe his experience will be valuable to our players in helping them prepare themselves physically each week,” Milanovich said.

In three seasons, Kackert recorded 228 carries for 1,467 yards with 12 touchdowns, along with 50 catches for 454 yards and two touchdowns.

“It remains my primary goal to do my part in helping to get Toronto back to the Grey Cup,” said Kackert. “Because I’ve suffered a serious injury, my part will not be played directly on the field but as a strength and conditioning coach.”

Roughnecks fall to Rochester who win record third straight NLL title

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester is the first team to win three consecutive National Lacrosse League championships.

Craig Point scored two goals to lift the Knight-hawks to a 3-2 victory over Calgary in a 10-minute minigame after they had forced an extra session by winning Game 2 of the home-and-home set 16-10. Joe Walters also scored for Rochester after Shawn Evans and Curtis Dickson had staked the Roughnecks to a 2-0 lead.

Rochester improved to 11-0 at home since its last playoff loss in Blue Cross Arena, way back in 2004.

Calgary had won Game 1 by a 10-7 count at home the previous Saturday to kick off the new format.

Lewis Katz, former New Jersey Nets and Devils owner dies in plane crashPHILADELPHIA — Lewis Katz, a self-made man

who built his fortune in New York parking lots, bill-boards and cable TV, and went on to buy the NBA’s New Jersey Nets, NHL’s New Jersey Devils and The Philadelphia Inquirer, died in a weekend plane crash. He was 72.

Katz died Saturday night in a Massachusetts crash that claimed six other lives. His death was confirmed Sunday by his son, Drew, and his business partner Harold H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest.

Katz grew up in working-class Camden, New Jer-sey, and worked as a lawyer before earning hun-dreds of millions of dollars investing in the Kinney Parking empire and the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network in New York. He went on to become a major philanthropist in the Philadelphia region.

Tributes poured in from prominent figures in sports, media, politics, business and education, re-flecting the wide range of his interests and chari-table endeavours.

“A Caring Family, Caring for Families”

Obituaries

ROBAKEdward AlbertJuly 30, 1933 - May 28, 2014Ed passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, at the Lacombe Palliative Care Center on May 28 at the age of 80. Ed, the eldest son of Stan and Mary Robak, and big brother to Genevieve and George, was born and raised on the family farm near St. Francis, AB. While working on the Hart Highway, he met the one he couldn’t let go, and being the ever romantic he was, married Joan Dennis on Valentine’s Day 1958. Work had taken them from northern BC to central BC to northern AB and fi nally to central AB where they spent the past 38 years. Together they had fi ve children. He will forever be remembered for his sense of humour and “way with words”. He always had a joke or saying to keep everyone entertained. His grandchildren always waited with anticipation for the next “good one”. Ed is survived by his wife of 56 years Joan, his fi ve children Stan (Jo-Anne) of Calgary, Ray (Cindy) of Red Deer, Carol (Jack) of Calgary, Terry (Cheryl) of Grande Prairie and Joyce (Calvin) of Lacombe, as well as 13 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. He also had an endless extended family that loved him and called him Dad, Old Bean or Grandpa. He was predeceased by his parents and siblings, as well as his mother and father in-law, Jack and Hazel Dennis. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held on Tuesday June 3, 2014 at 1:00PM at the Lacombe Memorial Center. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made in Ed’s honour to the Lacombe Palliative Care Society.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Recovery of fallen climbers not certain


MOUNT RAINIER NA-TIONAL PARK, Wash. — Mount Rainier National Park officials said that due to dangerous con-ditions there are no immedi-ate plans to recover the bod-ies of six climbers who likely fell thousands of feet to their deaths in the worst alpine ac-cident on the Washington state mountain in decades.

Continuous ice and rock falls make the area too dangerous for rescuers, and “there’s no certainty that recovery is pos-sible given the location,” park spokeswoman Patti Wold said. The area will be checked pe-riodically by air in the coming weeks and months, she added.

Park officials believe the group fell 3,300 feet (1,000 me-tres) from their last known whereabouts of 12,800 feet (3,900 metres) on Liberty Ridge.

“It’s inconceivable that any-one survived that,” Wold said Sunday. It’s unknown whether a rock fall, avalanche or other factors caused their fall, she said, adding that “we don’t even know if they were moving or if they were camping.”

Glenn Kessler, the park’s acting aviation manager, said “they are most likely buried,” making recovery efforts even more challenging. “We may or may not be able to recover them.”

Officials have not released the names of those who died, but friends and others on Sun-

day gathered at the 14,410-foot (4,392-meter) glaciated peak about 90 miles (145 kilometres) southeast of Seattle.

Rob Mahaney told The As-sociated Press that his 26-year-old nephew, Mark Mahaney, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was among those presumed dead. He said the climber’s father and broth-er flew to Seattle on Saturday after learning what happened.

“He just loved to climb, he loved the outdoors, he loved the exhilaration of being in the wide-open,” Rob Mahaney said. “Even as a toddler he was al-ways climbing out of his crib. His parents couldn’t keep him anywhere — he’d always find a way to get out of anything.”

A helicopter crew on Satur-day spotted camping and climb-ing gear in the avalanche-prone area. Air and ground searches were suspended late Saturday afternoon.

“It’s a sad day at Mount Rainier,” park superintendent Randy King said Sunday.

The missing group includes four clients of Seattle-based Al-pine Ascents International and two guides. They were due to return from the mountain on Friday. When they did not re-turn, the climbing company no-tified park officials.

Gordon Janow, the guiding service’s programs director, did not release information about the climbers on Sunday, and said that would come from park officials.

The group was on a five-day climb of the Liberty Ridge

route, one of the more techni-cal and advanced routes up the mountain.

The climbers had to meet certain prerequisites, and their ice and technical climbing skills as well as their biography were evaluated by a three-per-son team, Janow said.

Alpine Ascents also lost five Nepalese guides in a deadly avalanche on Mount Everest in April. The avalanche that swept down a climbing route on the world’s highest peak killed 16 Sherpa guides. Several more were injured.

“It’s devastating, it’s emo-tionally draining, it’s trying to make sense of it all,” Janow said of the tragedies.

The loss of life would be among the deadliest climbing accidents ever on the peak in the Cascade mountain range. In 1981, 11 people were killed dur-ing a guided climb when they were struck by a massive ice fall on the Ingraham Glacier. On Oregon’s Mount Hood seven students from a college prepa-ratory school in Portland and two adults died after they dug a snow cave during a sudden storm in 1986.

Mount Rainier attracts thou-sands of climbers trying to reach its summit every year. It is popular with climbers of all abilities, from novices who take guided climbs to experienced alpinists who use the glacier-laden peak to train for attempt-ed ascents on taller mountains in the Himalayas and other mountain ranges.

U.S. defends prisoner swap with Taliban as Army sergeant and Gitmo detainees win freedom


WASHINGTON — Five years a captive from the Afghanistan war, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in American hands, freed for five Guantanamo terrorism detainees in a swap stirring sharp de-bate in Washington over whether the U.S. should have negotiated with the Taliban over prisoners.

U.S. officials said Sunday that Bergdahl’s health and safety appeared in jeopardy, prompt-ing rapid action to secure his release. Republi-cans said the deal could place U.S. troops in dan-ger, especially if the freed detainees return to the fight — one called it “shocking.” Another, Ar-izona Sen. John McCain, said of the five detain-ees: “These are the hardest of the hard core.”

Visiting troops in Afghanistan, Defence Secre-tary Hagel stepped forward at Bagram Air Field to thank the special operations forces that re-trieved Bergdahl, who officials said was the only American prisoner of war still held by insur-gents in that conflict. Gen. Joseph Dunford spoke of the excitement that spread through U.S. ranks when the sergeant’s release was confirmed. “You almost got choked up,” he said. “It was pretty ex-traordinary.”

Tireless campaigners for their son’s freedom, Bob and Jani Bergdahl planned a news confer-ence Sunday in their hometown of Hailey, Idaho. The Taliban handed Bergdahl over to special op-erations forces in an area of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border, U.S. officials said. In a statement on its website, the Taliban put the location on the outskirts of Khost province.

Bergdahl, 28, was taken to Bagram Air Field for medical evaluations, then transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center before he is reunited with his family in the U.S., probably at the San Antonio Military Medical Center, of-ficials said.

Officials did not offer details about Bergdahl’s health. National security adviser Susan Rice said he had lost considerable weight and faced an “acute” situation. Yet she said he appeared to be “in good physical condition” and “is said to be walking.”

Questions persisted, too, about the circum-stances of Bergdahl’s capture; Hagel declined to comment on earlier reports that the sergeant had walked away from his unit, disillusioned with the war. Such matters “will be dealt with later,” Ha-gel said.

Hagel was met with silence when he told troops in a Bagram hangar: “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back.” It was unclear whether the absence of cheers and applause came from a reluctance to display emotion in front of the Pentagon chief or from any doubts among the troops about Bergdahl.

In weighing the swap, U.S. officials decided that it could help the effort to reach reconcili-ation with the Taliban, which the U.S. sees as key to more security in Afghanistan. But they acknowledged the risk that the deal would em-bolden insurgents, perhaps encouraging them to grab U.S. troops or citizens as bargaining chips for the release of others in U.S. custody.

Republicans pressed that point. “Have we just put a price on other U.S. soldiers, asked Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. ”What does this tell terrorists, that if you capture a U.S. soldier, you can trade that soldier for five terrorists?“

President Barack Obama, joined in the Rose Garden on Saturday by the sergeant’s parents, said the deal was struck because the U.S. “does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind.”

Also Saturday, the five detainees left Guan-tanamo aboard a U.S. military aircraft flying to Qatar, which served as go-between in the negoti-ations. They are to be banned from leaving Qatar for at least a year.

Among the five: a Taliban deputy intelligence minister, a former Taliban interior minister with ties to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and a figure linked by human rights monitors to mass killings of Shiite Muslims in Afghanistan in 2000 and 2001.

Administration officials and lawmakers pressed their points on the Sunday news shows. Republicans said the deal violated requirements that Congress be given 30 days’ notice before any exchange of captives at Guantanamo.

Suspect in Belgian Jewish museum killings travels to Syria


PARIS — A suspected French jihadist arrested over killings at a Belgian Jewish mu-seum had travelled to Syria and claimed responsibility for the shootings in a video, prosecu-tors said Sunday.

Fears have been mounting in European countries that the hundreds of European radicals who are joining the fight in Syr-ia against President Bashar As-sad could stage attacks when they get home.

Police in the southeastern French city of Marseille ar-rested the suspect, Mehdi Nem-mouche, on Friday after he ar-rived on a bus from Amsterdam, Paris Prosecutor Francois Mo-lins told reporters. The suspect had an automatic weapon like that used in the Brussels attack, and ballistics analyses were un-der way to determine if it is the

same weapon, Molins said.It was not immediately clear

what Nemmouche was doing in Syria, but the suspect’s gun was wrapped up in a white sheet scrawled with the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an extremist group fighting in Syria, Molins said. He said the suspect had spent about a year in Syria.

Molins also said that Nem-mouche, a 29-year-old from northern France, had a crimi-nal record, with seven convic-tions for crimes like attempted robbery — but nothing related to terrorism.

At a separate and nearly si-multaneous news conference in Brussels, Belgian federal prose-cutor Frederic Van Leeuw said the suspect had tried to film the killings on May 24, but his cam-era failed. A video found after his arrest shows his weapons and clothes, and includes his voice claiming responsibility

for the attack, Van Leeuw said.Belgian police carried out

raids in case in the Courtrai region of Belgium on Sunday morning, where the suspect is believed to have spent time, and are questioning two people there, Van Leeuw said.

“The new elements in this investigation draw attention once more to the problem of the ’returnees’ —in other words the people going to Syria to par-ticipate in combat and return afterward to our country,” he said. “All European countries are confronted at this moment with this problem.”

The Brussels killings, which came on the eve of European parliament elections in which far right parties had a strong showing, led Belgian officials to boost their anti-terror mea-sures, and raised fears of rising anti-Semitism.

Two Israeli citizens and a French citizen were killed.

PARK OFFICIAL SAYS AREA SIX CLIMBERS FELL AT MOUNT RAINIER, NO IMMEDIATE

PLANS FOR RECOVERY DUE TO DANGER

Dear Annie: Thirteen years ago, my son met “Nadia.”

She became pregnant and brought my first beau-tiful grandchild into the world.

After they married, I did many things for her and en-joyed her company. They now have another child, a son who is 8.

Nadia was fired from her job after breaking some rules — I don’t know which ones — and hasn’t worked since.

She also doesn’t cook, clean or do laundry.

My son does all of these things after a full day at work and then helps the kids with their homework and bedtime routines.

I’m a former private investigator. A few years ago, I caught Nadia cheat-ing and discovered that the other man lived with his mother and had custody of his child.

I didn’t want my grandchildren to have divorced parents, so instead of telling my son, I called this man’s mother.

I told her to end things, or I’d inform

her ex-daughter-in-law about the affair and she could gain custody of those

kids. The affair ended.Last year, I noticed that

Nadia was paying a lot of attention to my granddaugh-ter’s horse trainer.

A mutual friend told me that Nadia has been sleep-ing with this man for two years.

Nadia texted graphic de-tails to this friend, which she forwarded to me.

The friend told my son about the affair, and he sent Nadia packing.

But she convinced him that the friend was lying, and he took her back.

Annie, I have the proof in those text messages, but I

don’t think my son can handle it. Their home life is a disaster. My

grandson has stress migraines, and my granddaughter is angry.

It upsets me terribly to see my son treated in such a degrading way. Do I share the truth or wait until the chil-dren are grown? — Grandmother in Distress

Dear Grandmother: We understand your concern, but you are already

overly involved in your son’s messed-up marriage.

Please don’t put evidence in front of him, forcing him to confront a situa-tion he is trying to deal with in his own way.

The very best thing you can do is en-courage your son to get his family into counseling.

Explain that it is for the children’s sake.

They are truly suffering. Dear Annie: My son and his fiancee

mailed wedding invitations, and for some reason, friends and relatives sent back the RSVP cards and included ad-ditional guests who were not listed on the invitation.

Why do people assume they can do this?

My son now has to call each one and tell them they cannot bring extra guests.

Should there have been a note in the invitation stating that the wedding venue is small and seating is limited? — Aggravated Mother

Dear Aggravated: No. Your son is handling this correctly

by calling. We don’t know whether it is simply

colossal nerve, a sense of entitlement, the fact that weddings have become

less formal or that TV shows and mov-ies often show invited guests bringing along their friends, but it is not un-common for people to assume it’s OK to add extra people to the RSVP. It is NOT.

Dear Annie: Thanks for printing the letter from “Saddened.”

I am so relieved to know I am not the only husband with the same di-lemma.

It’s hard for a male to confess he has these feelings and needs without sounding like a nag. I wish there was an answer.

Everything the writer said is the same at my home, including my deep love for my very uninterested wife of 44 years.

I would show her this column, but it would only start tears.

If she would just initiate holding hands or give me an occasional kiss, that would be so cool.

I know she truly loves me, but she feels no need for physical intimacy. —O.

Please email your questions to [email protected], or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

The 10-person team, of which Pereira is coach and head trainer, qualified for world championship competitions later this year in Idaho, Argentina, Florida and Las Vegas. Pereira will also compete in four individual world powerlifting events this year. He’s appeared in the worlds on eight occasions, winning gold medals and breaking global records in the process. He also holds Canadian and North American records.


We wouldn’t treat ranchers this way

Life insurance agents deserve fair treatment too

CommunityLife InsuranceWORKERS AND EDUCATORS

Without justification and without consultation the Alberta Insurance Council decided to scrap the current licence exam system for life insurance agents – a system that works well for agents and consumers alike.

Alberta’s exam system will be replaced with a new one that the Québec Autorité de marchés financiers will develop and run. There was no discussion with stakeholders, no public procurement process and no transparency in deciding on the new exam and exam service provider. Behind closed doors is not how our government officials should make decisions that impact our livelihood and our services.

The new exam process for life insurance agents will be MORE EXPENSIVE, LESS FAIR and HURT COMMUNITIES AND JOBS.

Tell your MLA that qualifications for Alberta life insurance agents should be developed in a fair and transparent way. Call:
