red deer advocate, june 20, 2016

Alberta Health Services wants to help put an end to the food fight at the table when young children refuse to eat what’s on their plate.

The free workshop Goodbye Meal-time Struggles, for parents with chil-dren from six months to five years old, will run on Thursday, from 9:15 to 11:15 a.m., at Family Services of Central Al-berta, 5409 Gaetz Ave.

Led by a registered dietitian and a pediatric occupational therapist, the focus is on developing the eating skills of children, how to introduce new foods, and more.

Shelley Cooper, registered dietitian with nutrition services, population and public health, at Alberta Health Ser-vices, Central Zone, said parents have to be ready for children to reject some of the food they are offered.

“It sometimes takes numerous expo-sures, like 15 exposures to a food, be-fore they are comfortable eating that food and will actually say they like the food,” Cooper said.

She said it’s definitely stressful when children won’t eat and that’s why

parents may unfortunately resort to bribing or forcing which triggers the flight or flight stress response in chil-dren. Blood flow is redirected away from the stomach so their interest in

food disappears.Unlike children, adults can com-

municate what they like and what they don’t like, while children may resort to throwing food, fussing or crying, she

said.“With kids all foods are new. We

kind of forget and it’s hard to be pa-tient all the time.”

But children aren’t alone when it comes to being cautious about food. Even as experience eaters, adults may approach an unfamiliar meal or recipe or food carefully, she said.

“We may take a little bit. Or we may ask a friend if they’ve tried it. We may smell the food.”

Cooper said the workshop is about letting parents know they are not alone in their struggles and that there are ways to work with their children for better mealtimes. It’s also helpful for parents who aren’t experiencing problems and want to learn how to set up good eating habits for their chil-dren.

Mealtime tips include always of-fering some familiar foods alongside unfamiliar foods, establishing three meals and two snacks per day to avoid grazing and to ensure an appetite at meals, and getting children involved in grocery shopping or cooking. Hiding foods in recipes should be avoided.

Sarah and Chauncey Carter’s cano-la-powered school bus that they con-verted into a home on wheels has eco-friendly and economical written all over it.

Actually, what it does say is — The Wandering Bus — in big blue letters above the front windshield. But it runs primarily on canola oil donated by mom and pop restaurants and shops they find on their travels.

Chauncey said canola oil doesn’t add to the greenhouse effect and their bus gets 27 miles to the gallon com-pared to 18 miles on diesel.

“There’s a lot of places the oil is not recycled. It’s just thrown out. That’s when we put it to a better use,” said Chauncey, 28, while visiting friends in Lacombe on Friday.

“(Shop owners) are eager to get rid of it so we’re doing them a favor and they’re doing us a favour at the same time,” said Sarah, 23.

The couple, based in Whistler, B.C., passed through Central Alber-ta late last week during their latest cross-country adventure.

Three years ago they joined the skoolie movement by converting a school bus into a recreational vehicle.

Sarah said there are about 2,000 skoolies.

The couple gutted their bus three years ago and put in a kitchen, bath-room, shower, work space with a desk, a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and a deck on the roof. They also added so-lar panels for energy.

Sarah said they’ve spent about $40,000 to convert the bus and have travelled the continent.

“It’s nice to build your own home and then be able to move it. It’s a cheap form of living.”

Their 2001 school bus was decom-missioned just because of a faulty light, she said.

“There are graveyards of buses.”

And buses are almost indestructi-ble because they are made of steel, Chauncey said.

“They carry the nation’s most pre-

cious cargo. School buses are the most over-engineered vehicles for civil-ians.”

“We don’t want to set up any mistrust. We want to set up that positive feeding relationship. Focus more on talking about the foods and experiencing the foods together.”

Providing healthy foods is also important, she said.

“Their tummies are a lot smaller and we want to make sure that the food that is offered to them is nutrient dense so that their tummies are filled up on nutrient-dense foods.”

She said establishing a relaxed, pleasant atmo-sphere at meals that is focused on the family will go a long way to reducing conflicts.

“As a parent it’s important for us to learn our role is to offer food, healthy foods in regular intervals, and it’s up to the child to decide whether they’re going to eat that food and how much they are going to eat.”

STORY FROM A1

FOOD: Mistrust

Notley target meant for a laughBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BROOKS, Alta. — An organizer of an Alberta golf tournament where a cutout of Premier Rachel Not-ley was placed on the course as a target says it was meant to be humorous and was never intended to promote violence.

Ernest Bothi, president of the Big Country Oil-men’s Association, says it was his idea to use the cut-out, which was placed on the 11th hole of the Brooks Golf Club during the association’s annual golf tour-nament on Friday.

The cutout drew criticism Saturday from an Al-berta NDP member of the legislature, who says it was inappropriate to put a woman’s face on a target, especially following the murder of British MP Jo Cox.

Bothi says people in the local energy industry are frustrated with Notley’s carbon tax and the cutout was meant as a laugh.

He also says he was unaware of Cox’s gender, and thought the MP was a man when news reports Friday said the victim’s name was Jo.

Bothi says he doubts there would have been an uproar if former prime minister Stephen Harper’s face was on a target.

“There’s a lot of people here down in Brooks that, for want of a better term, needed a bit of a lift,” Bothi said in an interview on Saturday.

He said no one hit the target.“Everybody had a good laugh and that’s all it was.

It was good-hearted laughter. Nobody’s going to hop into their vehicles and head off to Edmonton and do something horrible,” he added.

“There was even women on the course who got a good chuckle out of it.”

Marie Renaud, a New Democrat who represents St. Albert in the legislature, called the Notley target upsetting. Renaud returned a call from the pre-mier’s office seeking comment on it.

“Of course, you hear the normal excuse, ‘It’s a

joke.’ That’s not a joke,” she said, reacting to earlier media reports on the golf tournament.

Renaud said after Cox was murdered on Thurs-day, she decided to share what she called “ugly posts and messages” on social media that she’s received in the past year.

She said using the premier’s face as a target pro-motes a violent message.

“A lot of times it’s just faceless, nameless ac-counts online, but it’s disgusting and it’s horrific, the violence that people talk about,” Renaud said.

“I don’t think it’s OK in this day and age. When you know better, you do better, and this isn’t any better.”

Bothi said he would never advocate harm to Not-ley or any politician.

“I’m sure she’s a wonderful person to sit and drink coffee with, but I just wish she’d have a change of heart on what she’s doing, especially with this car-bon tax,” he said.

“Our industry is being beaten up bad.”

Winning ticket sold in B.C. for Saturday night’s $12.8 million Lotto 649 jackpot

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A single winning ticket was sold in British Columbia for the $12.8 million jackpot in Sat-urday night’s Lotto 649 draw. The guaranteed $1 mil-lion dollar prize was claimed by a ticket purchased in Quebec. The jackpot for the next Lotto 649 draw on June 22 will be an estimated $5 million.

Solar power park lands in Star-Trek-themed Vulcan


VULCAN, Alta. — The “next generation” in a Star-Trek-obsessed southern Alberta community in-volves a solar park and art display.

The latest attraction in Vulcan, a town of about 2,000 that shares a name with Mr. Spock’s home plan-et, is getting some attention for boldly going into a new era of power production.

And, since planet Vulcan was forged in flames, perhaps it’s only fitting that the town’s new power project harnesses energy from the fireball that is our sun.

The solar park, which cost about $680,000 to build, includes solar panels both stand alone and as part of stylized grain elevators, a green living space and an art exhibit that lights up at night. The community be-lieves the park is the first of its kind in Canada.

That being said, the town’s mayor acknowledges it only generates enough electricity for two homes — certainly not enough to power up any spaceships — so it really qualifies more as a tourist attraction than as a way to light up the community.

“We are boldly going where no man has gone be-fore,” Mayor Tom Grant said. “It’s like anything in life — one person’s junk is another person’s treasure and one person’s art is another person’s solar ener-gy. I think we just have to look outside the box and work with it.”

For decades there was little to note about Vul-can, named after the Roman god of fire, other than golden fields of grain, a smattering of cows and grain elevators.

But in the 1990s, local tourism officials realized they could make something of their town sharing a

name with Spock’s birth place.In 1995, Vulcan unveiled its own Starship FX6-

1995-A to welcome visitors. Its plaque includes greet-ings written in English, Vulcan and Klingon. Anoth-er sign welcomes visitors to Vulcan with the “Live Long and Prosper” motto.

Three years later, the space-themed Vulcan Tour-ism Trek Station was opened. The community also holds an annual Vul-con Convention and the Spock Days Rodeo.

Leonard Nimoy, who played the Spock character in the original series, in spinoffs and in movies, vis-ited Vulcan in 2010 and was greeted with much fan-fare and adoration.

“I think there’s always the naysayers in anything that anybody does,” Grant said about the solar park. “I’m sure some people don’t think it’s the best way to go. “But as they buy into the concept, see what it pro-duces and what it can do for our community, I think the majority will be on side.

“Hey! This is the future.”Grant, who has lived in Vulcan his entire life, said

the Star Trek influence and the town’s science-re-lated endeavours have been embraced by most res-idents.

He said it has also put Vulcan on the map.“There are people who still think it’s as hokey as

can be, but I was in Boston and I had a coat on with a symbol from our tourism,” Grant said.

A woman asked where he got the jacket and he told her Vulcan.

“She said, ‘Not Vulcan, Alberta?’“We have to look at these things as a positive no

matter what … and every small town community is trying to survive. We all need that niche in our com-munities and this is ours.”

Finance ministers to talk changes to CPP


Kent Peterson would forgive any-one who might think he’s got nothing to worry about when it comes to his retirement — or, for that matter, what happens to the Canada Pension Plan.

After all, the 27-year-old has a unionized, full-time job with the Sas-katchewan Federation of Labour. Most folks would likely assume he has a ro-bust workplace pension plan to help him save for his golden years.

Except he doesn’t.“I’m relying solely on the CPP,” Pe-

terson admitted in an interview. “I’ve envisioned my retirement, and it’s not happy and rosy, to be honest with you.”

Peterson will be watching the out-come of meetings Sunday night and Monday as the country’s finance min-isters try to hammer out a preliminary agreement on an expanded Canada Pension Plan — one that’s likely to in-clude higher benefits and an increase in the premiums that come off the pay-cheques of workers.

One central issue: whether to im-pose an across-the-board change on all workers and employers, or to more se-lectively target those Canadian work-ers who are the least likely to save.

Federal research has suggested the latter group tends to be under the age of 30, earns between $55,000 and $75,000 (although some estimates are higher), and either doesn’t save enough or lacks access to a workplace pension plan.

The federal and provincial gov-ernments are looking at a possible increase in the $55,000 cap on annu-al maximum pensionable earnings, which would result in both higher pre-miums and increased pension bene-fits.

Don Drummond, a professor of pol-icy studies at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., said he believes the current cap is too low.

Quebec and Ontario, which togeth-er hold the most political heft in the negotiations, walked into talks look-ing for a targeted approach. B.C., too, wants changes to CPP that would help middle-income earners who don’t save enough.

“They either don’t save as most Ca-nadians have … or they really can’t afford to save enough to pay the differ-ence in terms of their retirement in-

come,” said Susan Eng, counsel to the National Pensioners Federation.

As a young member of the work-force, Peterson’s finances don’t give him a lot of leeway to save, he said.

Nor do his expenses: student debt of more than $50,000 — the legacy of undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Saskatchewan — as well as housing, food, utilities and transportation expenses.

“I’m sorry, but there’s no skimping and saving I can do per month that would equal a secure retirement,” he said. “It just isn’t there.”

Public opinion research work con-ducted by the federal Finance Depart-ment last year suggests a great many people in their 30s and 40s don’t ex-pect the Canada Pension Plan to be of much help in their retirement.

Other research suggests about two-thirds of Canadians support expand-ing CPP, with a majority of those re-spondents saying they would support a doubling of benefits and premiums, said Frank Graves, president of EKOS Research Associates.

Driving that feeling among Cana-dians is a high sense of insecurity around the medium- and long-term economic outlook, Graves said.

“There is a pretty broad public mandate” to expand CPP, he said. “I don’t think it’s particularly dangerous for governments go down this path. In fact, there’s probably more politi-cal hazard to leave it alone than to do something.”

Then comes the question of when to make it all happen.

Saskatchewan has said the econ-omy in parts of the country are too fragile right now for an increase in premiums, which critics call a payroll tax. B.C., another worker-rich province that also holds a fair bit of sway in the talks, says a modest expansion of the pension plan should happen “when economic conditions permit.”

Ontario, however, wants a deal now.The federal Conservatives have

questioned the rush to complete a deal by the end of the year, saying the Lib-eral government hasn’t proven its case for an across-the-board expansion of the program.

Behind the scenes, proponents and opponents of an expanded CPP expect some kind of deal to be reached on Monday, but remain unsure about the final details.

RUNNING FOR BEER


Runners head out onto the river trails in Red Deer on Saturday as part of the inaugural Troubled Monk Run. The 5K and 10K race drew 276 participants in the brewery’s running and beer event. Local live music and beer gardens greeted the runners at the finish. All proceeds raised during the run will go to the Red Deer Watershed Alliance because as the brewery’s website says, “without great water, we wouldn’t be able to make great beer.”


OTTAWA — Finance Minister Bill Morneau meets his provincial and ter-ritorial counterparts in Vancouver on Monday and one of the key agenda items is going to be the federal Liber-als’ wish to expand the Canada Pen-sion Plan.

Here are five things to know about the CPP and the politics around it.

● The system is designed so that each generation of workers pays for its own retirement. That makes it different from two other income re-placement programs for seniors and retirees: old age security (OAS) and the guaranteed income supplement (GIS). Those measures are covered through general tax revenues, meaning that workers today pay taxes to raise the in-comes of poorer seniors. Any decisions on the future of the CPP would have a greater effect on younger workers than older workers. Will they pay attention?

● CPP premiums have only been raised once in the last 20 years. In 1997, finance ministers agreed to a phased-in increase in premiums to en-sure one generation of workers wasn’t paying for another generation’s retire-ment. The argument today is that the CPP should pay more in benefits and help those who aren’t saving enough for retirement. The argument against raising premiums is that it would hit workers’ wallets at a time when gov-ernments keep saying the economy is fragile.

● Expanding the CPP has come down to one of two scenarios. One would be an across-the-board change that would mean higher benefits and premiums for all workers the other would target those segments of the population who aren’t saving enough for retirement. Those who aren’t sav-

ing enough are the same people the federal Liberals want to help finan-cially: Middle income earners. Re-search suggest those earning between $55,000 and $75,000 — some studies put the upper limit above $100,000 — are not saving enough for retirement, or don’t have an adequate workplace pension. One study from February 2015 suggested 17 per cent of households were not saving enough for retirement.

● Not every province has to have the CPP. Quebec has its own version. Saskatchewan has its own pension plan, but the payments are voluntary, acting more like a RRSP. Ontario’s proposed pension plan will be man-datory, unlike Saskatchewan’s, but it is aimed at workers without a private pension, meaning it isn’t universal like the QPP. Could other provinces follow suit in the absence of a deal on CPP? And would the federal government help them along? If the answer to both is yes, it could let everyone claim a political win and move off the political hot seat for now.

● Changing parts of CPP is more difficult than changing the Constitu-tion. Like the constitutional amend-ing formula, seven out of 10 provinces have to agree to any changes. But a constitutional amendment requires that those seven represent at least half the country’s population. The CPP bar is set at two-thirds of the population. Saskatchewan has already signalled it isn’t interested in a rate increase, but its population is so small — about three per cent of the total — that the federal government won’t worry if they are offside.

Ontario is different. It has more than a third of the population, giving it an unofficial veto. The federal govern-ment needs Ontario’s help on chang-es, giving it a strong political voice in talks.

Five things to know about the Canada Pension Plan

and talks to expand it

Planes wait in Chile before flying to Antarctica


CALGARY — Two Canadian planes that are on their way to Antarctica on a medical mission are waiting on the southern tip of South America for fa-vourable weather to complete their journey.

The U.S. National Science Foun-dation says in a Facebook update that was posted Sunday afternoon that the aircraft are on the ground in Punta Arenas, Chile, and will carry on to the British Antarctic Survey station at Rothera when the weather allows.

The two Twin Otter planes from Cal-gary-based Kenn w Air left Calgary on Tuesday.

One will stay at the British station for search and rescue purposes, while the other will travel 2,400 kilometres further to the Amundsen-Scott Re-

search station at the South Pole.The foundation says a seasonal em-

ployee with Lockheed Martin at the Amundsen-Scott station requires hos-pitalization and must be evacuated.

It’s mid-winter in Antarctica and the foundation says flights in and out of the station are usually not planned between February and October due to the extreme cold and darkness.

The foundation says the Twin Otter aircraft that Kenn Borek Air flies are able to operate in extremely low tem-peratures and are able to land on skis. As there is no tarmac runway at the South Pole, it says the aircraft must land in total darkness on compacted snow.

Kenn Borek provides contractual logistical support to the Antarctic Pro-gram, according to the foundation, and conducted similar evacuations in 2001 and 2003.

Two charged after violent incident near

Montreal music festivalMONTREAL — Two men were

charged on Saturday in connection with a violent scene that broke out near an outdoor music festival in Mon-treal.

Police said dozens of people be-gan throwing bricks, rocks and traffic cones at buildings in the city’s enter-tainment district at around 11:30 p.m. Friday. Six Montreal police officers were slightly injured and about 20 downtown buildings were vandalized.

Montreal police spokesman Jean-Pierre Brabant said two men were ar-rested and charged in connection with the incident. A 25-year-old man was charged with armed assault on a po-

lice officer and a 24-year-old man faces one count of obstructing police. Both were released Saturday afternoon on a promise to appear in court.

Brabant said police are analyzing video from the scene to try to identify more of the people involved.

Anti-riot police were called in to handle the incident, which took place downtown outside the popular Franco-Folies festival.

Several businesses, parked vehicles and Montreal police headquarters had their windows smashed.

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre con-demned the incident on Saturday, call-ing it “deplorable.”

“Montreal is the capital of living together,” he said. “It’s a safe area. There’s no need to break anything.”

The festival’s president said he didn’t believe security needed to be increased for the final concerts set to take place Saturday night.

Gender imbalance within its lead-ership ranks is holding back Canada’s restaurant industry.

Restaurant Brands International Inc., the Canadian-based parent com-pany of Burger King and Tim Hortons, was recently criticized by a Canadian investment fund for having an all-male board. The board’s response? To carry on with its business without any chang-es, thus missing an opportunity to send a clear signal that something has to change in the industry.

While more than 70 per cent of front-of-house restaurant employees are women, the kitchen, where many managerial decisions are made, is of-ten dominated by men.

At the corporate level, the situation is even worse. At a recent Canadian Restaurant Association conference in Toronto, more than 80 per cent of the industry leadership were men and ma-ny panels during the conference were all male. This is in sharp contrast to

what most people know of the food ser-vice industry.

The challenge is everywhere.Cara Operations Ltd., owner of such

major Canadian chains such as Har-vey’s, Montana’s, Swiss Chalet and St-Hubert, has an all-male board. As well, very few women are involved in upper management. Similarly, the ma-jority of the management at fast-food chain A&W are men.

Yet if you discuss the issue with industry leaders, no one appears to mind. So Restaurant Brands Inter-national ’s response to the request to make its board more gender-balanced is anything but surprising.

The result of this gender imbalance is that management practices are often behind the times. For example, many women servers are still expected to wear short skirts, sexualizing food ser-vice. Earls Kitchen and Bar recently backed down on its strict dress code for female servers by offering a choice between pants and skirts. Previous-ly, women servers had to make a for-mal request to wear something other than a short skirt. The chain made the change after the Human Rights Tribu-nal of Ontario stated that waitresses should not have to make a request to wear something other than revealing

attire at work.For several years, women have rep-

resented almost 60 per cent of uni-versity graduates in Canada, but they have been unable to make inroads in food services management and on boards.

C h a l l e n g i n g s c h e d u l e s a n d child-rearing realities are obvious con-straints for women, but the industry should find ways to manage these in-tricacies. Other sectors have.

Grocers face similar challenges but are doing something about it. Beyond board diversity, most grocers are mak-ing a deliberate effort to nurture fe-male leadership. The advancement of female talent is at the core of cor-porate priorities for companies like Loblaws, Sobeys and Metro.

In food service, however, the old-boys network remains predominant.

Gender equality and diversity on boards and in management is not on-ly the right thing to do, it also makes strategic sense. How else do you fully understand markets and see new op-portunities?

A Boston-based group suggested re-cently that the stocks of female-led Fortune 1000 companies are likely to outperform other companies.

And the way women assess market

gaps and manage risks is complemen-tary to men.

Time will eventually help women, since most men under 50 don’t carry the same biases as previous genera-tions.

In fact, gender equality is not on-ly expected, it should be proactively sought. The gender-balanced cabinet that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed last fall was hardly a sur-prise for younger men, who saw it as normal gesture: government should fully represent its constituents.

The same should apply to economic sectors that matter to everyone. The food industry should value diversity at least as much as any other industry. Most families in Canada spend more than $2,500 of their annual budgets in restaurants, and that amount rises ev-ery year.

Traditionally, calls for more women in leadership roles in the food ser-vice industry have come from women. Plainly, the industry now needs male champions for women leaders. Re-maining quiet is no longer an option.

Food service industry’s disconcerting glass ceiling

BY THOMAS WALKOMSPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Ottawa is under pressure from Washington to take command of one of four new NATO battle

groups being set up in Poland and the Baltic states to face off against Russia.

Each is to consist of between 800 and 1,000 troops.

That’s not enough to stop Russia should it choose to invade its neigh-bours. But the theory is that the pres-ence of even a small number of North American and Western European troops in these countries would, by acting as a kind of tripwire, deter Mos-cow.

Germany, the United States and Britain have already announced pub-licly that they will command three of the four battle groups. The British-led force will include about 500 British troops, plus some from Denmark and France. The U.S. says most of the bat-tle group it commands will be Ameri-can.

Technically, Canada has not yet made up its mind. A government spokesperson told Canadian Press that Ottawa is “actively considering

options.” But the news coming out of the NATO defence ministers’ meeting Tuesday in Brussels suggests Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government will find it hard to say no.

Eastern European members of NA-TO — particularly Poland and the Bal-tic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Esto-nia — are spooked by Russia’s annex-ation of Ukrainian Crimea.

They want to be sure that NATO will come to their aid if they are at-tacked. Putting North American and Western European soldiers on the front line is meant to accomplish that. “We don’t want a new Cold War,” NA-TO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels.

But that’s exactly what is happen-ing.

Meanwhile, back in Canada, the Trudeau government is simultaneous-ly trying to forge a friendlier relation-ship with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion is the key figure here. In March, he noted that former prime minister Stephen Harper’s strategy of trying to isolate Russia by severing ties hasn’t worked.

Last month, Dion rejected the idea

of passing a Canadian version of Amer-ica’s so-called Magnitsky Act, designed to freeze the assets and limit travel of Russian human rights violators.

He said then that such a law, named after a Russian critic of the Putin re-gime who died in prison after being beaten, was unnecessary and would only antagonize the current Russian government.

Dion has run into a buzzsaw of criti-cism for this, even from within his own party. Former justice minister Irwin Cotler has called for a Magnitsky Act as has former interim Liberal leader Bob Rae.

At least two sitting Liberal MPs also support a law that would crack down more severely on Russian hu-man-rights violators.

Added to this are the domestic pol-itics within Canada. Many Canadians whose families came from Eastern Europe are deeply suspicious of Rus-sia. As former prime minister Stephen Harper found, the idea of standing tough against Putin is not unpopular in this country.

Up to now, the Liberal government has managed to juggle its conflicting approaches to Russia without irritat-ing too many. On the one hand, it con-

tinues to oppose Russia’s annexation of Crimea. On the other, it doesn’t let that annexation interfere with its at-tempts to deal practically with the Pu-tin regime in other areas — ranging from Arctic co-operation to the war in Syria.

At the same time, it has continued to participate in NATO exercises de-signed to deter Russia — including the deployment of 200 Canadian military advisers to Ukraine.

On Wednesday, Trudeau and the prime minister of Romania discussed a plan to base a multinational NATO brigade in that former Soviet satellite.

But will commanding a battle group along the Russian border be viewed by Ottawa as a step too far?

Clearly, there is some resistance within government to the idea. That’s why Canada, unlike Germany, Britain and the U.S., didn’t sign on publicly this week.

Will that resistance hold? Can the Liberal government resist the pres-sure from Washington and some of its own voters to take a harder line against Moscow in this new Cold War? I’m not sure it can.

OTTAWA — Health Canada makes some on-reserve patients jump through hoops or wait longer than non-indigenous Canadians to access prescription drugs their doctors be-lieve they need to treat mental illness-es, a psychiatrist who has worked in First Nations communities says.

Dr. Cornelia Wieman, who spent eight years as a community-based psy-chiatrist at Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, a reserve near Brant-ford, Ont., said some prescriptions used to treat severe mental illnesses are not covered by Health Canada un-less the patient has tried other anti-psychotic agents first and experienced no improvement or suffered adverse reactions.

“I would often have to try the older versions of medications that accord-ing to the clinical practice guidelines were out of date, and I would have to have a patient fail on those older med-ications before they received funding for newer medications that were avail-able on the market,” Wieman, a psy-chiatrist at the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health in Toronto, told the parliamentary committee studying the high suicide rate in indigenous com-munities.

The issue is linked to Health Cana-da’s non-insured health benefits pro-gram which provides about $1 billion in annual coverage to eligible First Nations and Inuit people for a limit-ed range of prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, medical supplies and equipment, medical transportation and mental health counselling not cov-ered by private or provincial or terri-torial health insurance plans.

The drugs benefit list includes four antipsychotic drugs that can be used only under limited conditions and re-quire pre-approval from Health Can-ada. All four of them, however, are covered under general benefits in the Ontario drug plan.

Wieman said when it comes to re-mote indigenous communities, their chances to see a psychiatrist are often few and far between.

“That may be the one and only time I am in contact with that patient for, say, the next six months or a year or even more,” she said in an interview.

That means it could take even lon-ger for the patient to finally get ap-proved for the medication the doctor wanted to prescribe in the first place.

“I think there is this extra layer that First Nations and Inuit people, who are funded under non-insured health benefits, may have to go through in order to get the treatment that they require that would be equivalent to the standard of care that we provide in urban settings and that’s an inequali-ty,” said Wieman, the first indigenous woman to become a psychiatrist in Canada.

Yvonne Jones, the parliamentary secretary to Indigenous Affairs Minis-ter Carolyn Bennett, told The Canadi-an Press earlier this year that the Lib-eral government is aware of the issues with the non-insured health benefits program and is considering reform.

A spokesperson from Health Cana-da was unavailable for comment.

Another problem, said Dr. Alika La-fontaine, president of the Indigenous

Physicians Association of Canada, is that it takes the decision-making pow-er away from clinicians.

“Fiscal restraint should never be an excuse for non-patient-centred care,” said Lafontaine.

Wieman said as frustrating as the obstacles to prescription medication can be, she thinks the even bigger problem is how comparatively little money goes to counselling.

The 2014-2015 report on the non-in-sured health benefits program shows that 41 per cent of the $1 billion spent that year went to pharmacy claims, compared to just 1.5 per cent to mental health. The program covers up to 20 one-hour sessions, following an initial assessment.

In response to an order paper ques-tion, which is like an access-to-infor-mation request for MPs, Health Can-

ada said that only two per cent of pharmacy claims are subject to pre-ap-proval, meaning the department asks for “additional information to confirm that certain criteria are met before providing coverage.”

Dr. Michael Kirlew, a family doctor who works in indigenous communi-ties surrounding Sioux Lookout, Ont., pointed out that some of the drugs re-quiring prior approval are common-ly used to treat things like asthma or heart disease and that patients and their pharmacists have to deal with pa-perwork — and delays — that non-in-digenous Canadians do not.

“The standard of health care that people receive is far inferior to what other people get and this is just anoth-er example of that,” Kirlew said.

“The system is not equal,” he said.


OTTAWA — Tom Cochrane turns his phone around to give a glimpse of where he’s sitting — the middle of Leb-anon’s farming heartland that’s now home to settlements of tens of thou-sands of Syrian refugees.

A Syrian mother and her sons smile and wave from a group of shacks and tarps. They’re among the ones who will be part of the upwards of 30,000 Syr-ians settled in Canada by the end of this year.

When Cochrane visited them this week, someone had been playing his classic song “Life is a Highway.”

It was a moment of connection during a visit that impressed upon the Canadian musician the importance of the West making enduring connections to all refugees, not just the ones who may settle in Canada or elsewhere one day.

After all, most just want to go home, he said.

“If there is going to be peace in our world, it’s got to start with the kids and they have to know that the West cares and they have to know that we care,” he said in an interview.

About half of those affected by the Syrian crisis are children World Vi-sion and others help fund education programs but the money is running out, putting the programs and the chil-dren they help at risk.

Cochrane was in Lebanon to help draw attention to the issue he’s been working alongside World Vision for years, one of many celebrities who’ve long lent their star power to promoting humanitarian causes.

But much has changed since the days a single star-studded concert could raise millions in a matter of hours for relief, including the scope and size of the need.

An estimated 60 million people are now displaced by conflict and climate change, the highest number since the Second World War.

World Refugee Day on Monday pro-vided an opportunity for one organiza-tion to try something new.

Months ago, the Humanitarian Coa-lition, representing five agencies, be-gan reaching out to others to create a fundraising and awareness campaign using June 20 as an artificial deadline to attach some urgency to the need for people to help, taking a page from matching campaigns used by the feder-al government in recent years.

The cross-agency effort united be-hind a single website, worldrefugee-day.com, and then went on to get sup-port from the private sector, everyone from media companies who agreed to run ads to PayPal, which agreed to waive its fees for every gift to the cam-paign. The Canadian Teachers Fed-eration is promoting the campaign among its members and so is home store Rona.

One activity is the ability to “do-nate” via a YouTube message. Peo-ple can videotape messages of support for refugees and then “donate” them to the campaign where they will be shared on Monday. Prime Minister Jus-tin Trudeau has already posted one of his own as part of a digital twist on the old radio telethon.

“The old ways of doing things are inadequate. We need to do more and we need to differently,” said Nicolas Moyer, the executive director of the Humanitarian Coalition.

“Fundamentally, the competitive fundraising model we’ve had for de-cades, it’s going to have to cease.”

The campaign was developed prior to the federal government’s launch of a review of international assistance, but the challenge facing aid agencies and governments is being explored through that as well.

In a time of scarce dollars and scattered attention, there needs to be more thought given to how aid can be both more efficient and more effective, said Kevin Dunbar, emergency direc-tor for CARE Canada, which is leading his agency’s response to the review.


In just a few days an Ontario woman will find out if she is to become the first lady of Iceland.

Eliza Reid, who married an Icelan-dic history professor and moved to the Nordic country more than ten years ago, has found herself at the centre of an election campaign in which her husband has emerged as the front-run-ner for the office of the president.

The whirlwind race, and its impli-cations for the future, have Reid grap-pling with the very real possibility of taking up a public position and having to move her family into the presiden-

tial residence.“When I was growing up in the Ot-

tawa Valley it would never have oc-curred to me that my future would have taken me in this direction,” she said. “I feel like I’ve been very wel-comed by Icelandic society. It would be a tremendous honour to be able to have that role.”

As election day looms on June 25, Reid believes her Canadian back-ground has helped in a campaign which cropped up “completely out of the blue.”

“As a Canadian, my stereotype is a bit that I am grounded and regular and don’t try to be something that I’m not,” said the mother of four.

Advocate staffAlthough National Aboriginal

Day is officially celebrated on Tues-day, June 21, the Red Deer Native Friendship Society and the Urban Aboriginal Voices Society held a cel-ebration in Red Deer on Saturday so more people could take part in the event. Members of the community gathered at Heritage Square Park to celebrate Aboriginal culture and have some fun at the same time.

“So today we are celebrating Na-tional Aboriginal Day a few days ear-ly so we ensure we could get in a full day of fun activities for everybody to come out and participate in and cel-ebrate the Aboriginal culture here in Red Deer,” said Pamela Taylor of the Red Deer Native Friendship Society and Urban Aboriginal Voices Society.

After the grand entry of elders and special guests the fun got underway. During the afternoon there was a tipi raising competition, Aboriginal games, traditional dancers, drum-ming and a barbecue with donations going to the Asooahum Crossing Culture Centre which is under con-struction along Riverside Drive near the Lions Campground in Red Deer.

In recognition of National Aborig-inal Day a ceremony will also take place at the Shining Mountains Metis Community Services office at 4925 46 Street in Red Deer on Tuesday.

MONTREAL — Less than two weeks after a wom-an died following a dog attack in her backyard, Mon-treal’s mayor has announced a plan to ban pit bulls and other breeds that are deemed to be dangerous.

Denis Coderre said the new rules will likely be brought before city council in September.

“We’re going to have an applied strategy, not just for one breed, but based on the level of potential danger of several types of dogs,” he told a news con-ference on Saturday.

Dogs that already live in the city will be allowed to stay but will have to be sterilized and wear muz-zles in public, Coderre said.

The ban was announced 10 days after a 55-year-old Montreal woman was found dead after being at-tacked by a pit bull.

The dog escaped from a nearby home before it at-tacked Christiane Vadnais.

In a separate incident, a woman was bitten on the thighs by a pit bull on Tuesday in Sainte-Adele, north of Montreal.

Coderre said the city will also immediately create a special squad to enforce the city’s existing dog reg-ulations, including licensing and leash laws.

He acknowledged that many dog attacks are the result of negligent own-ers, and promised the new rules would attack the

problem “at both ends of the leash.”The city is currently studying which breeds be-

sides pit bulls to include in the ban, and Coderre said the rules will be written to allow other types of dogs to be added.

“We have to remember that before, in the 1970s, it was the Doberman,” Coderre said. “In the 80s, it was the German shepherd.

It’s been the Rottweiler. If we ban one breed just to ban it, they’ll just come up with another breed.”

Less 14 per cent of Montreal’s estimated 145,000 dogs are licensed, according to the city.

Without getting into specifics, Coderre said the new rules would require dog owners to show they are capable of owning a pit bull or other dangerous breed of dog.

That may include a clause that would prevent anyone with a serious criminal record from owning one.

Coderre’s announcement came days after the mayors of Quebec City and the Montreal-area city of Brossard announced they would be banning pit bulls.

Premier Philippe Couillard said this week his government will likely follow Ontario’s example and adopt a provincewide ban on the breed.

Wildlife managers are concerned a booming on-line trade in caribou meat may pose a threat to one of the last healthy herds on the Canadian tundra.

Hunters in the central Arctic have been taking so many animals from the Qaminirjuaq herd and send-ing the meat to parts of Nunavut where the hunt is restricted that airlines have been asked to report on their shipments.

“It’s our top, No. 1 priority over the next several years,” said Ross Thompson of the Beverly-Qaminir-juaq Caribou Management Board.

The Qaminirjuaq (pronounced kam-uh-NARE’-ee-ack) herd’s range covers a huge swath from northern Saskatchewan to Queen Maud Gulf on the central Arctic coast. Almost 250,000 animals strong, it’s not about to disappear. But the herd is only about half the size it was in the mid-1990s and biologists are watching.

Aboriginals in two provinces and two territories depend on the herd for food. And as caribou quotas grow tighter across the North and hunters and the hungry link up on Facebook, pressure on the Qa-minirjuaq is growing.

The tiny community of Coral Harbour on South-ampton Island has been shipping out between 5,000 and 7,000 kilograms of meat in the winter months,

said Steve Pinksen of Nunavut’s Environment De-partment. That’s between 1,500 and 2,000 animals a year, roughly equal to what the community consumes itself.

Meat is also being shipped from Arviat, Rankin Inlet and Naujaat, formerly known as Repulse Bay.

“We’re not in panic about this,” Pinksen said. “But if the herd does continue a natural decline — and at the same time we have a substantial harvest in addition to the subsistence harvest — that does pose some concerns for the future.”

Most of the meat ends up in the territorial capital of Iqaluit on Baffin Island — especially after biolo-gists realized the island’s herds had declined by 95 per cent.

“Ever since (then) the Baffin district cut their quota down to zero,” said Alex Ishalook, a board member from Arviat. “We are caribou-eaters and the same goes up there.”

Ishalook said most of the trade is between indi-viduals and is facilitated by Facebook. Social media is popular in isolated northern communities and Facebook groups for buying, selling and trading country foods now have thousands of members.

A whole caribou sells for about $400, said Thomp-son.Under the Nunavut land claim, Inuit are the only aboriginal group in Canada that has the right to sell game.

Part of the demand is fuelled by the high cost of

northern groceries. Some of it is driven by increas-ingly tight quotas on other barren ground caribou herds.

Nine of Canada’s 13 major caribou herds are de-clining.

Earlier this week, one management board in the Northwest Territories cut quotas for one of its herds and banned hunting on another.

The combination of a shrinking resource and the ability to sell what was once freely shared is chang-ing things for Inuit, said Ishalook.

“It’s not our traditional lifestyle, selling meat,” he said. “We’re working on ideas to improve all this selling.”

The hunt is unrestricted and only the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board can impose a total al-lowable harvest. Inuit can take and sell as many car-ibou as they want, Pinksen said.

“It’s people utilizing their constitutionally guar-anteed rights.”

But it may be hard to sustain those rights if all communities on the Qaminirjuaq range start taking twice as many animals as they need for their own use, Thompson said.

“We’re not questioning the right, but in order for our board to work on behalf of those communities, we have to take all kinds of information,” he said.

“As long as there’s the financial factors involved, it’s a tough chore we’re facing.”

Online caribou trade raises concerns

Montreal to ban pit bulls and other breeds following fatal attack


A pit bull named Athena goes for a walk at the SPCA, Tuesday, June 14, 2016 in Montreal. Montreal will ban pit bulls and other dangerous breeds of dogs beginning in September. Mayor Denis Coderre says dogs that already live in the city will be grandfathered but will have to be sterilized and wear muzzles in public.

RIO DE JANEIRO — A group of heavily armed men stormed a Rio de Janeiro hospital Sunday to free a suspected drug trafficker, sparking a shootout with officers that left a patient dead and a nurse and an off-duty policeman wounded.

The attack took place at Hospital Souza Aguiar, one of the medical facilities recommended for tour-ists seeking emergency treatment during the upcom-ing Olympic Games.

At least five attackers stormed the hospital before dawn to rescue the 28-year-old suspect, who was be-ing treated there for a gunshot wound, Rio de Janei-ro police said in a statement.

As many as 15 other gunmen were outside during the attack, witnesses told police.

Investigators were studying security camera foot-age, and Rivaldo Barbosa, head of the state’s homi-cide unit, said two of the assailants had been iden-tified.

“This was a carefully orchestrated attack,” Barbo-sa told reporters outside the hospital. “It was a bold action that will not go unpunished. It is unaccept-able.”

Souza Aguiar is one of five hospitals designated by the city to treat tourists during the sporting event because of its proximity to the famed Maracana Sta-dium, site of the opening ceremony on Aug. 5.

It’s also on a U.S. Embassy list of medical facili-ties recommended for travellers to the games.

Fabio Melo, a sergeant who was guarding the suspect in the hospital, said he feels vulnerable to attacks as Rio de Janeiro state is increasing officers’ shifts.The state declared a financial disaster on Fri-day largely because revenues from oil royalties have plummeted as a result of low crude prices.

The government wants more freedom to manage scarce resources in areas such as public safety, health care and education as it wraps up Olympic projects and beefs up tourist services during the games.

“People in our line of duty go through these kinds of different experiences.

Thank God I was not injured and I was able to help my co-worker,” Melo told reporters. “But we are defenceless. I am defenceless, you are defence-less and the whole population, too.”

Later in the day, police acknowledged that they had received reports last week that about a plot to free the suspected drug trafficker.

Col. Luiz Henrique Pires told journalists they re-inforced security at the hospital but that they don’t have the resources “to deploy 30 or 40 police officers to police after every report that is made.”

Pires also said public hospitals are not prepared to admit prisoners and that it is necessary to have special medical facilities for such cases.

BRAZIL


LONDON — Britain’s long and dif-ficult referendum campaign has re-sumed in earnest after a three-day halt caused by the killing of Labour Party lawmaker Jo Cox in a brazen knife and gun attack.

The death has cast a pall over the referendum set for Thursday, and its impact on the eventual results — if any — are unclear.

The campaign tone was perhaps a bit more moderate Sunday as both sides in the bruising battle over wheth-er Britain should remain a member of the 28-nation European Union seemed to take a more civil approach.

The content remained the same: the “remain” camp predicts economic doom if Britain leaves the EU while the “leave” campaign warns of the per-ils of uncontrolled immigration unless Britain strikes out on its own.

Prime Minister David Cameron, leading the “remain” campaign, in-voked Cox’s memory as a contrast to the values of some of the “leave” campaigners, singling out UK Inde-pendence Party chief Nigel Farage for taking a negative approach.

In a newspaper column, he said Cox — who favoured EU membership, and wanted Britain to do more to help Syri-an refugees — offered a hopeful vision for Britain while Farage wants to di-vide the country, not unite it.

“Are we going to choose Nigel Farage’s vision — one which takes Britain backwards divides rather than unites and questions the motives of anyone who takes a different view.

Or will we, instead, choose the tol-erant, liberal Britain a country that

doesn’t blame its problems on other groups of people,” he said.

With the resumption of campaign-ing, including a London rally featuring former Mayor Boris Johnson, a pop-ular “leave” figure, fresh attention was focused on a poster unveiled by Farage’s supporters hours before Cox was killed.

The poster showed a long line of immigrants fleeing poverty and war-fare in the Middle East and elsewhere trudging across Europe with a warning in capital letters that said: BREAKING POINT.

In smaller type, it accused the EU of failing Britain.

The poster has been cited by poli-ticians and commentators as a prime example of how jarring the tone of the referendum campaign has become.

Treasury Chief George Osborne Sunday called it “vile” and compared it to Nazi propaganda of the 1930s.

Even Justice Secretary Michael Gove, a prominent leader of the “leave” campaign, decried the poster.

He said he “shuddered” when he saw it.

“I thought it was the wrong thing to do,” said Gove, a former Cameron ally who has broken with the prime minis-ter over Britain’s future in Europe.

Farage did not apologize for the provocative image, but he conceded that the Cox killing, which he called an act of terrorism, may have blunted the “leave” campaign’s momentum at a key moment just days before the vote.

He blamed the tragedy on “one per-son with serious mental issues” and said he does not know how the public mood will sway in the next four days.

A range of public opinion surveys suggest the race is close.

The Cox case is likely to remain in the public eye because Thomas Mair, accused of murdering her, is sched-uled to appear in court Monday.

At his first court appearance, he gave his name as “death to traitors, freedom for Britain,” generating lurid headlines throughout the country.

Parliament will also meet in spe-cial session to give fellow lawmakers a chance to honour the youthful mother of two who had only served a short time before she was stabbed and shot to death.

With so much sadness in the air,

one group introduced a bit of levity

into the debate over Britain’s ties to

the vast continent that lies across the

English Channel by holding an “An-

glo-European kiss-in” near Parliament

Square.

The goal was to show love between

Britain and Europe, with similar

events held in several other European

capitals.

OTTAWA — A plan for how Canada will meet a promise to lift visa require-ments for Mexicans will be announced later this month when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hosts Mexico’s presi-dent as part of the Three Amigos sum-mit.

But multiple sources tell The Cana-dian Press negotiations are still under-way on whether the plan will contain a fixed date to remove the visas as Cana-dian officials push to link it to the im-plementation of new border controls still in their infancy.

“We shall see,” Immigration Minis-ter John McCallum said when asked whether a deal will be reached by June 29.

The previous Conservative govern-ment imposed visas in 2009 to stop thousands of asylum claims being made by Mexican citizens later ruled to be unfounded.

It was a controversial decision that sparked outcry from industry and the Mexican government. The Liberals promised during the election cam-paign the visa would be lifted.

Pressure to do so intensified as part of Trudeau’s decision to convene the Three Amigos summit — the meeting between the leaders of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico that the Tories post-poned last year.

The visa issue was among the dip-lomatic irritants at the time, though the Tories had promised to lift some restrictions through a new electronic travel authorization system that was supposed to take effect in March 2016, but has been delayed.

Last week, the Liberals announced a long-awaited second part of immi-gration reform — legislation so that border officials won’t just know when someone enters Canada but also when they leave.

After the visas were put in place, the number of asylum claims fell to 1,199 from more than 9,000, and immi-gration violations also dropped.

There’s fear the numbers will climb again without the visas, and the elec-tronic travel authorization system and the new exit controls would curb some of that issue, the sources said, speak-ing on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to publicly dis-cuss negotiations.

There are also markers used to de-termine whether to remove a visa, in-cluding how many applications get re-jected.

The threshold for the temporary resident visa refusal rate is four per cent averaged over the previous three years. For Mexico, the refusal rate from 2013 to 2015 was 6.7 per cent, ac-cording to the Immigration Depart-ment.

Officials also look at the immigra-tion violation rate — the percentage of a country’s nationals who don’t follow immigration laws while in Canada or in trying to enter Canada.

The rate should be below three per cent over the three previous calendar years and the rate for Mexico between 2013-2015 was 1.9 per cent.

The government also examines the country’s socio-economic profile, mi-gration trends, safety and security is-sues, human rights, and bilateral and multilateral issues, the department said.

In 2012, the Conservatives placed Mexico on a list of countries it con-sidered safe and therefore unlikely to produce valid refugee claimants, meaning it would handle claims from

there differently in a bid to stop un-founded ones.

Numerous groups immediately objected, citing corruption and vio-lence from the ongoing drug war there among many concerns, and argued to suggest Mexico was safe would bias the asylum process against people ac-tually in need of refuge.

The designated country of origin system as a whole is under review by the Liberals, but a new report being released Monday says Mexico should be off that list immediately.

“While Mexico has undertaken sig-nificant reforms to combat discrimina-tion and human rights violations, peo-ple living with HIV, sexual minorities and other vulnerable Mexicans still have little protection when their rights are violated,” said Samer Muscati, the director of the University of Toronto’s International Human Rights Program, which wrote the report.

“Mexico’s failure to investigate and hold perpetrators accountable for violent crimes against marginalized populations is completely at odds with Canada’s designation of the country as ‘safe’.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

O A X A C A , M e x i -co — Violent clashes between police and unionized teachers who were blockading roads and burning vehicles in southern Mexico left at least four people dead on Sunday.

The teachers from the radical National Co-ordinator of Education Workers, or CNTE, are opposed to the mandato-ry testing of teachers as part of Mexico’s educa-tion reform and are also protesting the arrest of union leaders on mon-ey laundering and other charges.

Sunday’s clashes in several municipalities in Oaxaca state involved federal and state police. Associated Press jour-nalists saw riot police firing on protesters in Nochixtlan, where offi-cials said the protests were strongest.

Isabel Garcia, a mem-ber of the CNTE’s polit-ical commission, said three people supporting the protests were killed.

And a state official, who was not authorized to speak to the press and requested anonymity, said a state police offi-cer was killed.

M e x i c o ’ s f e d e r a l government released a statement Sunday eve-ning that made no ref-erence to the number of people killed, but said that 21 federal agents had been wounded, three of them by gunfire.

A9BUSINESSJobs at risk in fading lumber deal


MONTREAL — Canadian jobs and sawmills across the country are in-creasingly at risk because of fading prospects they will avoid a new round of U.S. duties on imported softwood lumber, according to an industry ana-lyst.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Paul Quinn says he expects the United States will impose duties of at least 25 per 1cent in mid-2017 and that will put pressure on Canadian producers.

“They’ll be mills shut right across Canada because nobody’s making the kind of money that they’d have to pay in the duties,” Quinn said in an inter-view.

He expects at least five mills to be affected in British Columbia but de-clined to say how many sawmills or jobs could be impacted in other prov-inces.

Quebec-based producer Resolute Forest Products (TSX:RFP) said jobs would also be at risk if Canada accepts a U.S. proposal that would put a 24 per cent quota on Canadian imports.

“We don’t have a big enough market in Canada to sell our product and so what ends up happening is there is a greater risk of capacity having to be closed,” said spokesman Seth Kurs-man.

The company, which operates about 20 sawmills in Canada, believes the federal government should push for free trade because Quebec’s forestry system is now market-based and Ontar-io subsides are inconsequential.

“We believe that Canada shouldn’t be rushing to the U.S. and asking for an agreement. Canada is negotiating against itself right now.”

Kursman said western producers are in a different situation than their eastern counterparts because they own 39 sawmills in the U.S. south and have developed markets in Asia, which give them a hedge against U.S. trade restrictions.

Quinn doesn’t see the 100-day ne-gotiating timeline set in March by President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bearing any fruit. Obama and Trudeau will meet in Ottawa on June 29 during the so-called Three Amigos Summit with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

The B.C. Lumber Trade Council

says it believes a new agreement, if properly designed, could provide cer-tainty and stability for lumber produc-ers on both sides of the border.

“However, if a reasonable agree-ment cannot be reached, we are also prepared to work alongside the Ca-nadian government to defend the in-dustry against any potential punitive trade actions brought by the United States, as we have done successfully in the past,” said council CEO Susan Yurkovich.

Federal Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland and U.S. Trade Representa-tive Michael Froman acknowledged the challenges in reaching a deal in a news release issued by Freeland’s of-

fice on Friday.“While significant differences re-

main between us, this period of inten-sive engagement has helped define shared goals and explore options for several key components of any new agreement,” the release said, adding that the two sides have vowed to con-tinue talks to reach a “durable and equitable solution.”

Failure to reach a deal by Oct. 15 — the one year anniversary of the ex-piry of the old nine-year agreement — would allow U.S. producers to petition Washington to impose new duties.

Quinn said in a report that reducing Canadian sawmill capacity and lower-ing shipments across the border would

help to raise prices but would not fully offset the impact of the expected du-ties.

The analyst has downgraded sever-al Canadian producers — West Fras-er Timber, Western Forest, Conifex, Canfor, Tember and Resolute Forest Products — saying their share prices will be weighed down by the export tax overhang. The exception is Inter-for, which has dramatically increased its U.S. footprint.

Quinn foresees an impasse continu-ing for years, especially because of the protectionist positions espoused by presumptive presidential nominees, Republican Donald Trump and Demo-crat Hillary Clinton.


Logs are moved at a softwood lumber sawmill in 2008 in Saguenay, Que. Canadian jobs and sawmills across the country are increasingly at risk because of fading prospects they will avoid a new round of U.S. duties on imported softwood lumber, according to an industry analyst.


OTTAWA — Canada’s top diplomat in Britain says it is time to take the vitriol out of the referendum campaign over leaving the European Union fol-lowing the killing of a British parlia-mentarian this week.

Canadian High Commissioner Gor-don Campbell says the British public needs to confront the fact that if they vote to leave the EU, it will disrupt not only their country, but the world at large, wreaking havoc on the global economy for a generation.

Campbell also warned that a British decision to leave — known as a Brex-it — could stall the implementation of the Canada-EU free trade deal and imperil the jobs of thousands of Cana-dians working in hundreds of British companies.

Campbell’s remarks echo those of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, For-eign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion, Finance Minister Bill Morneau and former prime minister Brian Mul-roney, who have all spoken in favour of Britain remaining in the 28-country EU.

But in an exclusive interview with The Canadian Press, Campbell — a former British Columbia premier — warned of dire and unpredictable eco-nomic consequences of a Brexit, for Britain, Canada and the world.

“This is generational impact on the United Kingdom, Europe and the world’s economies.”

Campbell said the killing Thursday of British Labour MP Jo Cox, a 41-year-old mother of two, underscored the need for Britons to start treating the referendum as an important public policy question rather than an emo-tional question of national identity.

“The details of what happened to Jo Cox are still emerging, but I will say that I do hope that this true tragedy has led a lot of public figures here in the U.K. to think long and hard about the tone of the debate around the EU referendum,” Campbell said.

“I think there is a consensus that the vitriol needs to stop and this needs to be less about personal, emotional attacks and more about the realities of what a vote to leave the European Union will mean for the British people and the world.”

Police were trying to assess the mo-tive of the man who fatally shot and stabbed Cox outside a library in her northern England riding, but her death ground the referendum cam-paign to a halt.

The suspended campaign appeared to spark a modest rebound in the Lon-don’s FTSE and the British pound,

leading some analysts to conclude Cox’s death might be taking the wind out of the Brexit side.

Prior to that, both had been in sharp decline because of the uncer-tainty caused by the referendum, which Campbell said could only be taken as a harbinger of bad economic fallout if Britons vote to leave the EU on Thursday.

Campbell said a British departure from the EU would have negative con-sequences for 10,000 Canadian jobs in Britain as well as for the hundreds of companies doing business there.

And he speculated it could stall the implementation of the Canada-EU free trade deal, known as CETA. Both sides hope to ratify the pact this fall, and are hoping to see it implemented in early 2017.

That timeline could be disrupted, said Campbell.

“If Europe is engaged in what would be a very challenging negotiation about the United Kingdom leaving, they’re certainly not going be nearly as focused on engaging in ratifying the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement,” said Campbell.

“There’s been a lot of glib talk about how quickly trade agreements

can be made.”Campbell referenced Trudeau’s re-

cent remark to Reuters news agency that it would be difficult for Britain to replicate its own version of CETA, which was a dig at Brexit supporters.

“It would be an Olympic gold in trade negotiations if it took them less than a decade,” Campbell said.

Campbell is nearing the end of a five-year term as Canada’s envoy to Britain and he says he has seen the best the country had to offer in recent years. It hosted the Olympics, celebrat-ed the Queen’s 90th birthday and Lon-don flourished as a “truly internation-al city.”

But all of that is at risk now, he said, because of the movement to take Brit-ain out of the EU.

“All that Canada can really do now is say to people in the United King-dom: you have an important role to play in the world, you’ve always played it, and we encourage you to continue to play it,” Campbell said.

“And the way to have the strongest impact and the most long-term, bene-ficial impact, not just for Europe and the United Kingdom, but for the world, is to remain and reform and to lead, not to leave.”

VANCOUVER — A pair of environ-mental groups are asking the courts to quash a recommendation that the federal government allow the contro-versial Trans Mountain pipeline ex-pansion project to go ahead.

Lawyers for the Living Oceans So-ciety and the Raincoast Conservation Foundation have filed an application for judicial review of the National En-ergy Board’s recommendation in Van-couver’s Federal Court of Appeal, ar-guing that it is unlawful.

Documents filed in court Friday allege the NEB did not take into ac-count the impact the $6.8-billion proj-ect would have on Southern Resident killer whales and their habitat.

If successful, a judicial review would force the board to reconsider its recommendation that the project be approved by the federal cabinet.

Trans Mountain wants to triple the capacity of its existing pipeline from the oilsands near Edmonton to Burn-aby, B.C., increasing the number of tanker ships in the area seven-fold.

The NEB spent two years review-ing the proposal and heard from 35 indigenous groups and 400 interveners before issuing a report and a positive recommendation in May.

The recommendation is subject to 157 conditions on engineering, safe-ty, environmental and emergency pre-paredness conditions.

But lawyer Dyna Tuytel said the re-port failed to consider the harm in-creased tanker traffic noise would cause endangered killer whales off of British Columbia’s coast.

“What (tanker traffic noise) does is it interferes with their communica-tion and it interrupts their critical life functions like hunting or socializing

… and causes them to do other activ-ities such as travelling away from the noise,” Tuytel said in an interview.

Evidence about the impact on the whales was made at hearings on the project, but the board has not justified the damage that would be done, she said.

“People are frustrated with what the board has decided in the face of so much evidence of threats from this project.”

The application for judicial review asks the court to declare that the NEB made several errors in law and didn’t meet the requirements of the Environ-mental Assessment Act or the Species at Risk Act.

Tuytel said the environmental groups want the court to stop the fed-eral government from making a final decision on the project based on what she called a “flawed” report.

“The fact that they’re not address-ing the affects, for example on endan-gered killer whales, means that no one will,” she said.

Trans Mountain spokeswoman Ali Hounsell said in a statement that the company is reviewing the application for judicial review and “will be re-sponding more fully through the court process.”

The environmental groups are not the first to raise concerns about the NEB report.

Last week, the Squamish Nation launched its own judicial review of the recommendation, arguing the board did not fulfil its obligation to consult with the First Nation about the proj-ect.

Fifty B.C. First Nations also wrote to the prime minister and the premiers of B.C. and Alberta last week, describ-ing the consultation process on the proposed project as “woefully inade-quate.”

NEW YORK — Slow down markets, you move too fast. The nation’s newest stock exchange has arrived, one that is looking to slow down high-frequen-cy traders by putting speed bumps in their way.

The IEX Group won approval from the Securities and Exchange Commis-sion on Friday to become a national stock exchange, following months of arguments with hedge funds and high-speed traders.

One of IEX’s hallmarks is imposing a delay of 350 millionths of a second on orders. That speed bump is meant to limit the influence of high-speed traders, which critics say reap unfair profits at the expense of longer-term investors, including pension funds and mutual funds held in 401(k) accounts.

“We are grateful and humbled by the support we’ve received from the investor community,” IEX Chief Exec-utive Officer Brad Katsuyama said in a statement. “Without it, we may have faced a different result.”

IEX and Katsuyama were featured in “Flash Boys,” a bestselling book by Michael Lewis that heightened critical attention on traders that make transac-tions in billionths of a second. Critics say these high-speed traders can ulti-mately force mom-and-pop and other slower investors to pay a higher price for stocks they purchase.

Opponents of IEX, including hedge funds and others, argued to the SEC that the speed bump could make price quotes for stocks stale and unreliable and could have unintended conse-quences.

They also argued the delay would run against regulations related to “im-mediately accessible orders.”

The SEC said Friday that “a small delay will not prevent investors from accessing stock prices in a fair and ef-ficient manner.” It said an intentional delay of less than one millisecond, or one thousandth of a second, is a “de minimis” amount of time.

The SEC also said it will conduct a study within two years about whether the speed bump is hurting the market or investors.


TEHRAN, Iran — Boeing Co. is ne-gotiating a deal to sell 100 airplanes to Iran, state-run media reported Sunday, a sale potentially worth billions that would mark the first major entry of an American company into the Islamic Republic after last year’s nuclear deal.

Chicago-based Boeing declined to discuss details of the talks or the figure of 100 planes, attributed to Ali Abedzadeh, the head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization.

Regulatory hurdles and U.S. sanc-tions that remain in place after the nuclear agreement could complicate the deal. Despite efforts by the U.S. State Department to encourage trade to Iran, many American firms remain worried about the legal and political ramifications of any agreements with the country.

The state-run IRAN newspaper quoted Abedzadeh as saying negoti-ations took “several stages” and fi-nal figures and terms had yet to be reached.

“Both sides — Iran and Boeing — have reached a written agreement for buying Boeing airplanes,” Abedzadeh was quoted as saying.

Fakher Daghestani, a Boeing spokesman based in Dubai, United Ar-ab Emirates, declined to answer any questions about Abedzadeh’s com-ments.

“Any agreements reached will be contingent on U.S. government approv-al,” Daghestani said in a statement.

A senior Obama administration of-ficial confirmed Sunday that the U.S. government would have to review such an agreement.

Under the nuclear deal with Iran, the Treasury Department will review on a case-by-case basis the licensing of individuals or entities that want to ex-port, re-export, sell, lease or transfer to Iran commercial passenger aircraft, and associated parts and services, ex-

clusively for commercial passenger aviation.

The official declined to be identi-fied, citing the sensitivity surrounding corporate business dealings with Iran.

Iranian airlines have some 60 Boe-ing airplanes in service, but most were purchased before the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted Shah Moham-mad Reza Pahlavi and brought Isla-mists to power.

Out of Iran’s 250 commercial planes, about 150 are flying while the rest are grounded due to lack of spare parts. Parts and servicing remained nearly impossible to get while the world sanc-tioned Iran over its contested nuclear program.

Included in last year’s nuclear deal is approval for airline manufactur-ers to enter the Iranian market. Al-ready, Iran Air has signed agreements to buy 118 planes from the European consortium Airbus and 20 more from French-Italian aircraft manufacturer ATR.

Iran is a lucrative market, with the Airbus deal alone worth 22.8 billion euros ($25 billion). But Boeing has treaded cautiously.

U.S. sanctions not tied to the nu-clear program remain in place, and American lawmakers have warned Boeing not to do business there as the Iran deal remains a hot topic in the on-going presidential election.

Boeing may need to run the sale through an overseas subsidiary and use a currency other than U.S. dol-lars in order to avoid running afoul of American laws.

In April, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted Maqsoud Asadi Samani, the secretary of the Society of Iranian Airlines, as saying Boeing officials offered 737, 777 and 787 model aircraft on a trip to Tehran.

In his published remarks Sunday, Abedzadeh said that “Iran will not be in a hurry about the agreement since the U.S. has always used Iran’s old fleet as leverage.”

“Iran will apply caution in the talks,” he said.

Newest stock exchange looks to slow down high-speed traders


NEW DELHI — The governor of In-dia’s central bank said Saturday that he will not seek a second term and will return to academia when his term ends in September.

Raghuram Rajan’s announcement ends speculation over whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government will give him another three-year term with India’s economy growing at an

impressive 7.5 per cent. That made In-dia the world’s fastest-growing major economy, overtaking China’s growth in the January to March quarter.

Rajan was appointed the Reserve Bank of India’s governor by the previ-ous Congress party government three years ago.

Some leaders of Modi’s Hindu na-tionalist party recently criticized him for adopting a hard line against infla-tion despite pressure to cut interest rates to push India’s economic growth.

B1SPORTSCavaliers complete comeback


Cavaliers 93 Warriors 89OAKLAND, Calif. — LeBron James

cradled the shiny gold trophy and struggled to sum up what might be his sweetest championship yet, the one he is so proudly bringing home to his native northeast Ohio just as he prom-ised to do when he returned to the Cavaliers two summers ago.

Later, flanked by his three chil-dren on Father’s Day, a cigar between his lips and winning net as a neck-lace with the lingering stench of cham-pagne, James began to understand the magnitude of his accomplishment for Cleveland after a half-century wait.

“I’m coming home with what I said I was going to do,” he said, adding, “I can’t wait to get off that plane, hold that trophy up and see all our fans at the terminal.”

James and his relentless, never-count-them-out Cavs pulled off an im-probable NBA Finals comeback, and Cleveland is title town again at long last.

James delivered on a vow to his home state and brought the Cavs back from the brink as they became the first team to rally from a 3-1 finals defi-cit, beating the defending champion Golden State Warriors 93-89 on Sunday night to end a 52-year major sports championship drought in Cleveland.

“I’ve never seen a man in my life tell an entire state: ‘Get on my back, I got you. Get on my back and I’m going to carry you. I don’t care if we fail, I’m going to wake up the next morning and I’m going to start working out and pre-pare for the next year,”’ Richard Jef-ferson said. “… He was like, ‘I’m going to come back home because I prom-ised them that I would do something.’ And he carried us the whole way.”

In a testy series of blowouts — and a few blowups — the winner-take-all Game 7 provided the thrilling finale with James as the finals MVP disarm-ing two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry and his record-setting Warriors.

The native of Akron rattled off mo-ments from the lengthy list of Cleve-land sports heartbreak and said what it meant for him to personally bring the Cavaliers their first championship.

Playing his sixth straight finals, James almost single-handedly carried

the Cavs back into this series and fin-ished with 27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as the Cavs gave their city its first major sports winner since the Browns won the NFL title in 1964. He also had three blocked shots and two steals, overcoming five turnovers.

An emotional James fell to the floor when this one ended with a second win in a week on Golden State’s im-posing home floor, surrounded by his teammates. Only moments earlier, he went down in pain with 10.6 seconds left after being fouled by Draymond Green while going for a dunk, then came back out to make the second of two free throws.

After four successful seasons in Miami and two titles with the Heat,

James came back to the Cavs in hopes of winning the title this franchise and championship-starved city so coveted. It took a second try against Golden State after Cleveland lost to the War-riors in six games last year.

“I was calm. I was focused. I was locked in,” James said.

Cleveland did it after a coaching change, with Tyronn Lue taking over in January for the fired David Blatt.

“We made history tonight,” Lue said. “Cleveland, Ohio, we’re coming back, baby!”

Kyrie Irving scored 26 points to cap his brilliant finals, including a 3-point-er over Curry with 53 seconds left.

Curry sat briefly on the bench to take in the scene after the Warriors

made their last basket with 4:39 left.“It hurts, man,” Curry said. “Just

proud of every single guy that stepped foot on the floor for our team this year. … Hopefully we’ll have many more op-portunities to fight for championships and be on this stage because this is what it’s all about.”

Green had 32 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists, but the Warriors’ re-cord-setting season ended without the only prize this close-knit “Strength In Numbers” crew cared about from way back in the beginning — through the record 24-0 start as Coach of the Year Steve Kerr was out, Curry’s second consecutive MVP campaign, and the 73 regular-season wins to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ mark.


OAKMONT, Pa. — Dustin Johnson had everything going his way Sunday in the U.S. Open.

He was playing the best golf on the toughest course. He had a two-shot lead on the back nine at Oakmont. He even got a huge break on a ruling that allowed him to escape deep rough, the kind of breaks that usually go to major champions.

That’s when he saw two USGA of-ficials approach him on the 12th tee. They told him he might get a one-shot penalty for his ball moving on the fifth green. They wouldn’t know until after his round.

Try playing the back nine of a U.S. Open with that kind of confusion.

“It’s nothing new at this point,” said Johnson, who has had major mishaps for the last six years. “It’s happened so many times I kind of expect it now.”

The difference was the outcome.Johnson showed the mettle — and

yes, the wits — to finally win a major championship.

“For it to not affect the outcome is fantastic,” he said. “It just shows how

well I played.”No one knew if he was leading, tied

or one shot behind, and neither did Johnson. He didn’t look at a board the rest of the day, taking on each shot regardless of the score and coming up with all the right shots — the 10-foot par save on the 16th, a cautious bun-ker shot on the 17th, and a 6-iron that settled the score. It dropped down 5 feet from the hole for a birdie that wrapped up a U.S. Open that was over-due.

The USGA wound up giving him the penalty shot after it was over, so Johnson closed with a 1-under 69 for a three-shot victory over Shane Low-ry, Scott Piercy and Jim Furyk, a run-ner-up at Oakmont for the second straight U.S. Open.

“I still didn’t want the penalty. I didn’t think that I did anything to cause the ball to move,” Johnson said. “But at the end of the day, it didn’t af-fect what happened. So it doesn’t both-er me at all.”

Finally, he’s a major champion.Johnson scooped up 18-month son

Tatum into his arms on Father’s Day and raised the silver trophy for all to see.

“I’ve been here a bunch of times and haven’t quite got it done,” Johnson said. “But today, I did. And it feels re-ally good.”

He saluted a Pittsburgh crowd that was on his side even amid all the un-certainty. The grandstands were rau-cous, with one fan shouting, “What’s the call, USGA?” At the trophy presen-tation, when Fox Sports announcer Joe Buck brought up the penalty situation, the crowd booed.

Johnson finished at 4-under 276, the lowest winning score in nine U.S. Opens at Oakmont.

The lingering question was whether the toughest test in golf was tougher than it needed to be.

Johnson had a short par putt on the fifth hole, took a few practice strokes and as he placed the putter behind the ball, it moved slightly — backward. Johnson stepped back and called over the rules official, told him he didn’t cause it to move.

He tapped in for par.Jeff Hall, senior director of rules

and open championships for the US-GA, said a staff member said on the ra-dio that it might be worth another look. The USGA thought Johnson should

know that his score might be one shot worse than it was, so it told him on the 12th tee.

“After looking at video, the actions he took could have caused the ball to move,” Hall said. “We asked if there was some other reason the ball could have moved. He didn’t state a reason.”

But it led to confusion over the en-tire back nine — for Johnson and for the guys trying to catch him.

Lowry, who began the final round with a four-shot lead that he lost on the front nine, tied him when Johnson made bogey on the 14th.

Were they tied? Was Johnson trail-ing by one?

Jack Nicklaus, who won the first of his 18 majors at Oakmont in 1962, said if the USGA thought it might be a one-shot penalty, it should have done it right there and “let him get on with the job.”

That’s what he did, scrambling for pars, keeping his cool, thinking only the major that kept eluding him.

Johnson said he couldn’t help but wonder if he was in for more bad luck at a major that he was poised to win.

“Just one more thing to add to the list, right?” he said.

No title changed hands at Super-fights 24 as the challengers couldn’t knock off the top billed fighters.

For one Red Deer fighter, Stepha-nie Schmale, that meant holding her own against a fighter whose style is similar to her own.

For another Red Deer fighter, Brae-don Rice, it was a crushing blow as he was knocked out by a vicious kick to the head in the second round. The loss ended the challenger’s shot at Tim Lo’s Western Canadian Super Light Heavyweight belt.

The two were part of a 12 fight card Saturday night at the Red Deer Sher-aton.

Schmale squared off against Leslie Ens out of Saskatoon in a 135-pound Modified Muay Thai three-round bout. The two traded blows and in one of the closer fights of the night, Schmale emerged on top by a split decision.

Her Ladies Western Canadian Wel-terweight championship was not on the line in the penultimate fight of the evening, but the fight was still an im-portant one for her.

“I’m used to girls charging at me and not really thinking, whereas she was calculated so that was a bit differ-

ent,” Schmale said about her veteran adversary.

“I tried to be patient with her. I’m

kind of a counter-puncher, she’s kind of a counter-puncher so there was a lot of trying to figure each other out. I just

tried to be patient and not push in too hard.”

The Red Deer native trains out of Cheney’s Zen Karate and Kickboxing. To prepare for the fight she trains in kickboxing about three days a week and two days a week of long-distance running. But for her, the key is to have more time to prepare for the fight.

Schmale hopes to defender her title this November.

Rice, who trains out of 7 Stars Pray-ing Mantis in Red Deer, had a title shot in his fight against Tim Lo, out of Sher-wood Park. The two were the main event. Unlike the other fights on the evening, their fight went five rounds.

In the second round, Lo caught Rice with a kick to the head that knocked Rice out and ended the bout.

Michael Roe, out of Lacombe Zen and Kickboxing, of Lacombe won by unanimous decision in his fight against Ryan Demyen out of Regina. The two fought the full three rounds in a modified Muay Thai 150-pound bout.

Justin Rocheleau of Red Deer, out of Cheney’s Zen Karate and Kickbox-ing, and Dean Coslovi of Lethbridge fought to a majority draw in their 175-pound Modified Muay Thai three-round bout.

Pankewitz powers out win at Innisfail

Bull riders are no strangers to challenges. After all, they do believe their 170 pounds can outmuscle a 1700-pound bovine for at least eight seconds. But Tyler Pankewitz came to the Daines Ranch Saturday night fac-ing an extra hurdle or two.

Take, for instance, the fact he has a broken foot.

It happened on the May long week-end at a rodeo in Cloverdale, B.C., and Pankewitz hobbled around on it for several weeks before getting it checked. It’s an arch bone, so he con-tends it doesn’t really affect his riding. But it was the treatment that seemed to do more damage than good.

“I’m sore as heck,” admitted the Po-noka cowboy.

“I got put in a walking cast, but I threw that away because it was put-ting my hips out, being so lopsided by walking around on it. I’ve just a brace on my foot, and it seems to be working better.”

“My back actually hurts more than my foot.”

But that didn’t stop Pankewitz from strapping his rope on a Calgary Stam-pede bull called Uptown Funk.

“Once I climb in that chute, I don’t really feel anything. I just focus on what I’ve got to do, and stay to my job, and feel it all after, when I hit the dirt.”

“Right now I’ve got to show up and focus on getting loosened up. When you’re this sore, you’ve got to get lim-ber, especially when you’re over 30 as a bull rider. You don’t feel as good as when you’re 20!”

The bull power at the Innisfail ro-deo was dominating, with only two of twenty riders before Panekwitz mak-ing the whistle. And his opponent tried a little intimidation before they even entered the arena.

“He wasn’t very good in the chute. He wanted to keep laying down and jumping up, and he hooked my outside foot right out of the gate. I didn’t think it was going to be very good from there. He wanted me in the well the whole time, but I leaned over on that outside shoulder and got sitting up pretty.”

It was as ‘pretty’ as a bull ride gets, and the judges handed out 86 points. That score held up through Sunday’s final performance, giving Pankewitz the first place cheque of $2,173. Add to that some extra ‘ground money’ be-cause only five bull riders got a mark

at Innisfail, and you’ve got some of the best pain medication in rodeo.

It will also move Pankewitz into Canada’s top five for the season. That’s encouraging, because just over a year ago he dislocated his shoulder and had to sit out the rest of the season after surgery to repair it.

When he came back at the end of April, he was ready. He stayed on his first bull, but then went through a stretch when he was lodged among the buck-off crowd. Finally, at Leduc ear-lier this month, he broke the ice, and placed second, following that up with a win at Brooks as well.

“Now that I’ve got the feeling of staying on again, it seems to be roll-ing, and hopefully it stays this way,” grinned Pankewitz.

A North Dakota cowboy claimed the bronze award in the saddle bronc riding at the 56th Daines Ranch Ro-deo. Dusty Hausauer was the victor on Calgary’s famous horse Stampede Warrior, turning in an 86 point perfor-mance Sunday afternoon, for $2,214.

“I got on her at Hermiston (OR) a couple years ago and I didn’t ride her very good,” said Hausauer, who was the Canadian champion in 2008. “I was really nervous today because you don’t draw these horses every day, a horse of that caliber that they win so much on. You’ve got to really take advantage

when you do draw them.”“I gave her more bronc rein, which

helped me keep my shoulders back a little bit. Last night I was in Reno, and I started a horse very well, and didn’t finish it as well. So today I wanted to really improve, and finish the horse better.”

While rodeo cowboys always want to ride well for the fans, there were plenty of past bronc riding champions like Glen O’Neill and Rod Hay enjoy-ing the Innisfail hospitality, which adds a little extra incentive.

“That’s why I really wanted to ride. I didn’t want just an ‘all-right’ ride. I wanted to ride very well be-cause Glen’s been 95 in this arena, Roddy’s been, I’d hate to guess how many points every year he’s been in this arena. There’s a lot of history here. This bronze means a lot to me.”

Jim Berry of Rocky Mountain House had to get on three horses in the same event (with rerides) but it was worth it,

because his 84-point score netted him second place and $1,818.

Four-time Canadian champion Dusty LaValley of Bezanson came close to picking up another Innisfail bareback title when he was 87 points Sunday afternoon on Reckless Margie. But the extra half point Caleb Bennett earned Friday night was enough to give him the edge, and the first place payout of $2,185. LaValley earned $1,794 for second place in an event where it took 84.5 points to even earn a last place paycheque.

It was an Oklahoma mother-daugh-ter duo that ran away with the biggest money in the barrel racing. Cayla Mel-by, who’s just 18, made a blistering run of 15.634 seconds right in the middle of one of the downpours that broke up the sunshine Sunday afternoon, worth $2,745. Then her mother, Jane, came out and raced to second place in 15.778 seconds. Hometown favorite Sydney Daines wasn’t far behind, finishing in fourth place.

The steer wrestling did speed up, and it was Dallas Frank who claimed first place with a 4.4 second run, add-ing $2,305 to his season’s tally.

“It’s been up and down,” said the Stony Plain cowboy, about his year to date.

“I’ve been picking away at a few cheques. A guy always wants to do better but this will maybe kick it off. There’s lots of good rodeos coming up, so hopefully it all works out good.”

Jeremy Harden of Castor did wind up in second with his 4.8 second run from opening night, with Donalda’s Curtis Cassidy in third.

No one was able to better the 8.4 second tie-down roping run from Utah’s Rhen Richard in Thursday’s slack, so he took home $2,178 for top place, while the team roping honors went to southern Alberta cowboys Steele Depaoli and Kasper Roy for their 5.7 second run. Manitoba’s Bailey Plaisier won the novice bareback with a 77, while Chase Zweifel of Saskatch-ewan took the novice saddle bronc with a 75. Steer riding finished with a 73 point tie between Dixon Tattrie of Youngstown and Justin Arksey of Syl-van Lake.

The pro rodeo season in Canada heats up now, with action this week-end in Sundre, High River and Wain-wright. The 80th Ponoka Stampede gets rolling with seven days of rodeo June 27th at 6:30 pm. The WPCA chuck-wagons start June 28th. There’s also the richest one day PBR Canada bull riding event happening in Ponoka June 25th, featuring the likes of PBR stars Tanner Byrne and Aaron Roy.

Riggers 8 Cubs 1 (7 innings)Riggers 13 Cubs 2 (5 innings)

Making short work of the visiting Confederation Park Cubs, the Red Deer Riggers needed only 12 innings to beat them twice in a doubleheader.

The two Sunburst Baseball League teams met Sunday afternoon for Fa-ther’s Day at Great Chief Park. The Riggers rattled off two straight wins, 13-2 and 8-1 over the visiting Cubs.

The wins maintain the Riggers’ per-fect start to the season, 8-0.

Rigger’s first baseman Jason Louis put on a show in the opening game belting a solo home run in the fourth inning and two doubles, on his way to a five RBI day.

“Some days you just have it and ev-erything you hit is square,” said Louis, who also partially credited not think-ing too much for why he had the good game.

“Sometimes (in doubleheaders) you can come out flying, we won 13-2, and it’s easy to come back and go flat and give up a game you probably could have won.”

The offence was fired up in the first game as they combined to score 13 runs, beating the Cubs 13-2. Shortstop Jason Chatwood drove in four runs, in-cluding a two-run double as part of the Riggers seven run fourth inning.

Not helping matters was a shaky Cubs infield who had four errors in the first game.

“The guys were swinging it well and our pitching staff threw strikes and got

their outs,” said Chatwood. “They got a lead early in the second game and we stuck with it and gutted it out.”

Helping matters in the first game was a solid start from pitcher Dustin Northcott, who got the win. He pitched four innings, struck out three and walked one. He allowed only one earned run on one hit.

“He sets the tone,” said Chatwood. “He’s been one of our guys for a long time. You have a comfort level playing behind him.”

Closer Joel Peterman came in to pitch the fifth inning as the Sunburst Baseball League’s mercy rule applied. He surrendered one earned run, but then shut the door on the Riggers’ win.

Davin Gulbranson took the mound in the second game and picked up the win in an 8-1 Riggers victory. He al-lowed the Cubs’ only run in the first inning, but settled down from there on in.

Right fielder Derek Chapman went three-for-four in the second game with three singles.

After going scoreless in the first and second innings, the Riggers scored three in the third, one in the fourth and two in both the fifth and sixth in-nings.

The Riggers now go on the road to play the St. Albert Tigers on Tuesday and will play in the Tigers’ tournament this weekend.

Their next home game is scheduled for June 28 against the Confederation Park Cubs at 7:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park.

Marlins have strong showing in Innisfail

INNISFAIL — The Red Deer Marlins swim club had a strong showing at the Innisfail Dolphins Invi-tations Swim Meet.

The event, held on June 17 and 18, featured swimmers from all over Alberta competing for both individual and relay points. Marlins earned just shy of 170 team relay points in the event.

But it was the individual swimmers who stole the show, taking more than 1,000 individual points throughout the weekend. A total of 66 Marlins swimmers participated in the meet.

In the event, the Marlins had 42 first place fin-ishes, 30 second place finishes and 37 third place finishes.It was a clean sweep of the visiting Calgary Saints for the Red Deer Titans senior womens and mens teams.

Titans teams take down Saints

The Titans hosted the visiting Saints Friday evening at the Titan’s Rugby Field south west of Red Deer. The women, playing in the Calgary Rugby Union’s first division, started it off with a commanding 44-5 victory over the Saints.

The men’s team followed it up with a come from behind win over the Saints, 38-17.

Meanwhile, the U13 boys dropped their game against the Calgary Canucks, while the U15 boys clawed from a deficit at the half to win 41-24.

Brier and Tournament of Hearts have formats changed

to expand field to 16 rinksOTTAWA — Canada’s national curl-

ing championships — the Brier and the Tournament of Hearts — had their fields expanded to 16 rinks on Sunday at Curling Canada’s annual general meeting.

The tournaments will now feature the champions of Curling Canada’s 14 member associations, the defending champions representing Canada, as well as the top-ranked non-qualified team on the Canadian team ranking system once each provincial/territorial playdown is completed.

The new format is a pilot that was approved in concept at the 2015 Curl-ing Canada AGM, which takes advan-tage of the fact the 2018 championships will have little or no bearing on the

qualifying process for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The teams will be split into two pools of eight, with the top four teams from each pool then advancing to a championship pool that will determine the final four playoff teams.

That will allow the Brier and the Tournament of Hearts to stick to their traditional nine-day formats, while in-suring that all 14 teams have direct en-try into the main portion of the cham-pionship.

In addition to the format changes, Curling Canada and its Member Asso-ciations approved the introduction of a new Canadian under-18 boys and girls curling championship.

The event will make its debut in the spring of 2017 and will complement the existing Canadian Junior (Under-21) Curling Championships, which will take place in January 2017 in Esquim-alt, B.C.

Orioles’ bats beat up Blue JaysBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Orioles 11 Blue Jays 6BALTIMORE — In a duel between

prolific offensive teams, the Toronto Blue Jays were unable to overcome a disappointing outing for Marcus Stro-man.

The Baltimore Orioles amassed a season-high 19 hits against Stroman and five relievers, and the Blue Jays wasted homers by Troy Tulowitzki and Devon Travis in an 11-6 loss Sunday.

“Our guys did a really good job swinging the bats, and it was plenty good to get a win,” Stroman said. “So it’s frustrating not to be able to do my job.”

Stroman (6-3) gave up seven runs and 10 hits over 3 2/3 innings in his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander is 2-3 with a 7.59 ERA over his last seven starts.

On a hot day at Camden Yards, Stro-man couldn’t find an easy out in a line-up filled with sluggers.

“They can beat you 1 through 9, and you have to really be on your game when you’re facing them,” Stroman said. “If you’re not, they’re going to expose you and take advantage of you, like they did today.”

Matt Wieters had four hits, includ-ing a homer, and drove in four runs to help the Orioles win the deciding matchup of the three-game series be-tween AL East foes.

Jonathan Schoop homered and drove in three runs for Baltimore, and

Chris Davis had three hits and scored three runs.

“They get the ball in the air — ev-erybody in that lineup,” Toronto man-ager John Gibbons said. “They got the left-right balance, which is very tough. They play in a great hitting park. You really have to go toe-to-toe with that.”

The Orioles were without two-time All-Star Manny Machado, who began a four-game suspension for charging the mound on June 7. The punishment ended Machado’s run of 229 consecu-tive starts, the longest active streak in the majors.

His replacement at third base, Ryan

Flaherty, had two hits and two RBIs from the No. 9 spot in the batting or-der.

Chris Tillman (10-1) allowed four runs and five hits in five laborious in-nings. Unbeaten since April 14, Till-man needed 99 pitches to extend his career-high win streak to nine.

“Made some pitches when I needed to and the boys picked me up, picked me up big time today,” Tillman said. “Tough day on the bullpen, but we came out of everything with a big se-ries win.”

The Blue Jays have dropped two in a row after winning seven of eight.

With the score knotted at 4 in the fourth, Wieters doubled and scored on a single by Schoop. Flaherty doubled in a run, and Adam Jones chased Stro-man with an RBI single.

Wieters made it 8-4 with an RBI sin-gle in the fifth, and Schoop connected in a three-run seventh that made it 11-6.

“When you get these two offenc-es together, you know you’re going to need to score with each other,” Wiet-ers said.

Baltimore jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first inning when Davis hit an RBI single and Wieters followed with his seventh home run.

Toronto used two-run homers by Tu-lowitzki and Travis to go up 4-3 in the second. Activated from the disabled list Saturday, Tulowitzki hadn’t gone deep since May 14.

Flaherty tied it in the bottom half with an RBI single.

Swiss follow France into the sweet 16 at EuroBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — France and Switzerland settled for a 0-0 draw that suited both sides, while Albania staked its claim to a place in the last 16 of the European Championship by eliminating Roma-nia in a 1-0 victory on Sunday.

Two years ago in Brazil, France overran the Swiss in a 5-2 rout at the World Cup but in Lille it was a very different story. Switzerland matched France for possession to secure sec-ond place behind the host nation in Group A — and seal its first appear-ance in the knockout stages of the Eu-ropean Championship.

France had the better of the scoring chances, with midfielder Paul Pogba hitting the crossbar in the first half with a swerving shot from 25 metres. Substitute Dimitri Payet, who scored in both of the team’s previous games, did the same in the 75th minute with a fine volley.

But the hosts have yet to really hit their stride at the tournament and will look for an improvement when they take on one of the third-place teams in a week’s time.

“I’m not blind, I know we can do better — but a new competition starts for us on Sunday,” France coach Didi-er Deschamps said.

It was a particularly bad game for kit suppliers, with the ball bursting in the second half and Switzerland hav-ing to provide three new shirts for its players after the originals ripped.

After two narrow defeats, Alba-nia’s victory over Romania has given it a fighting chance of advancing to the knockout stages as one of the best third-place teams at the tournament.

Armando Sadiku scored the only goal with a far post header over goal-keeper Ciprian Tatarusanu, who had left his line. It was also Albania’s first ever goal in an international tourna-ment.

“If we stay in the tournament we will be trouble to other teams, to im-portant teams, because today we got some more confidence,” Albania’s Italian coach Giovanni De Biasi said through a translator. “We needed the first two games to settle in.”

Albania, which has three points on the board, must wait to find out if it will be playing in the last 16 as one of the four best third-place teams at Euro 2016.

A wide open Group B will be settled on Monday, when Russia plays Wales in Toulouse and England takes on Slo-vakia in Saint-Etienne.

England is currently top with four points, followed by Wales and Slovakia on three points, while Russia has one.

Canadians can’t catch Kim at Meijer LPGA ClassicBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BELMONT, Mich. — Sei Young Kim won the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sun-day for her second victory of the year, beating Carlota Ciganda with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

After bogeying the 18th in reg-ulation to drop into the playoff, the 23-year-old Kim rebounded on the par-4 hole in the playoff.

She hit a 124-yard shot from the deep left rough — so deep that she momentarily lost her ball after looking away — ran onto the green and settled at 3 ½ feet.

The South Korean player finished with a 3-under 68 at Blythefield to match Ciganda at 17-under 267.

Ciganda, from Spain, parred the fi-nal five holes in a bogey-free 67. Win-less on the tour with four runner-up finishes, she also hit into the left rough in the playoff. She hit a 156-yard shot through the green and couldn’t get up-and-down for par.

Kim has five career victories, go-ing 3-0 in playoffs. She also won the Founders Cup this year in Phoenix, shooting 63-66-70-62 to match Annika Sorenstam’s LPGA Tour scoring re-cord of 27 under. Last year, she won three times and was the rookie of the

year.On 18 in regulation, Kim drove left

into the rough under trees, hit her sec-ond into thick rough left of the green and missed a 15-foot par putt.

South Korea’s In Gee Chun, tied for the third-round lead with defending champion Lexi Thompson, had a 71 to finish third at 15 under. The U.S. Wom-en’s Open champion bogeyed two of the first four holes.

Thompson, fighting back pain, shot a 72 to tie for fourth with top-ranked Lydia Ko at 14 under. Ko, coming off a playoff loss to Canada’s Brooke Hen-derson last week in the KPMG Wom-en’s PGA Championship outside Seat-tle, closed with a 68.

Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., had a 71 to tie for 21st at 6 under. Ham-ilton’s Alena Sharp was the top Cana-dian after shooting an even 71 on Sun-day and finished the tournament in a tie for 13th at 9-under 275. Maude-Ai-mee Leblanc of Sherbrooke, Que., was 2 under for the event.

Ariya Jutanugarn, third last week after winning her previous three starts, tied for 18th at 7 under after a 68.

Michelle Wie shot a 75 to tie for 56th at 1 under. She’s winless since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open and hasn’t had a top-10 finish in 38 events.

Veteran Denmark won’t be continuing his career with Riders


Veteran receiver Clarence Denmark won’t be continuing his CFL career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Denmark was among Saskatchewan’s 20 final cuts Sunday as CFL teams reduced their rosters to the league-mandated 46-man active roster. Demark joined the Riders this off-season as a free agent after being released by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“Tough biz we deal with but this gives me the chance to slide to the peg to see my lil man on Fa-ther’s Day,” Denmark tweeted. “See the good in every-thing .life.”

Denmark had 306 career catches for 4,165 yards and 16 TDs in 88 regular-season appearances with Winnipeg. He was a West Division all-star in 2014 after amassing 1,080 receiving yards.

The Riders also released quarterback Brett Smith, who completed 142-of-224 passes for 1,822 yards with 15 TDs against nine interceptions as a rookie last season. Defensive linemen Eric Norwood and Dylan Ainsworth, quarterback Phillip Sims and offensive lineman Jarriel King and Matt Vonk went on the six-game injured list.

Saskatchewan also acquired international defen-sive back Brandon McDonald from the Calgary Stam-peders for a negotiation list player. The five-foot-11, 185-pound McDonald enters his third CFL season after splitting the previous two with Ottawa and the Stamps.

The defending Grey Cup-champion Edmonton Eski-mos released nine players, including veteran Canadi-an safety Cauchy Muamba. The six-year veteran spent the last two seasons in Alberta after playing for the B.C. Lions and Winnipeg.

Also released by Edmonton was former Toronto Ar-gonauts receiver Natey Adjei.

Canadian linebacker Herve Tonye-Tonye and American defensive back Shane Herbert were among 16 players released by Toronto. The Argos also added running back Chad Kackert, the MVP of the 2012 Grey Cup, to their practice roster after releasing the veter-an last week.

B5LIFEA healthier shortcakethat won’t

short-sell yourstrawberries

BY MELISSA D’ARABIANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Strawberry shortcake has always been a favourite dessert of mine — it reminds me of the carefree days of summer at my grandparent’s house, where we’d buy strawberries by the pound and eat them in just about everything.

Our family always preferred the biscuit-shortcake to the spongecake variety, which was too sweet and ruined the strawberries, according to my grandma. I think she was right — a light fluffy biscuit with just a touch of sweetness and enough heft to handle seri-ously juicy berries is the ticket to perfect shortcake.

Since we eat shortcake all summer, I’ve created a recipe that includes a little extra fiber and protein by subbing out half the white flour with whole wheat flour (whole wheat pastry flour is particularly great for baked goods, if you can find it).

But with the husk and germ of the wheat comes a slighter darker, nuttier colour, which isn’t quite what children may be craving for dessert. My easy solution: embrace the beautiful brown colour and enhance it with a little cinnamon.

Suddenly, wheaty biscuits are transformed into cinnamon shortbread in the eyes of my kiddos.

And the flaky texture comes from just a little bit of butter, while low-fat plain Greek yogurt subs in for the traditional heavy cream and buttermilk.

The berries are made perfectly tangy and sweet with some balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, an homage to my grandma who used apple cider vine-gar in just about everything, including her berries for shortcake. (Balsamic is a little sweeter and more balanced than apple cider vinegar, so it’s a nice up-grade.)

The final touches of mint and orange zest add nu-anced flavour, so the berries shine through without a ton of extra sugar. And instead of whipped cream, I mix up a luscious vanilla cream from part-skim ricot-ta and Greek yogurt.

We’ll be eating this recipe straight through to fall.

CINNAMON BISCUIT BERRY SHORTCAKESStart to Finish: 45 minutesYield: 6 servings

For the berries:2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (or apple

cider vinegar)1 tablespoon brown sugar2 cups raspberries, blueberries, and sliced straw-

berries1 teaspoon grated orange zest2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint

For the shortcake biscuits:1 ¼ cup flour - half whole wheat, half all-purpose2 ½ teaspoons baking powder¼ teaspoon baking soda2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling¼ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon cinnamon3 Tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes½ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt1 egg, lightly beaten, divided in half

For the creamy filling:1/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese3 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek yogurt1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract1 tablespoon brown sugarPreheat the oven to 400. In a medium bowl, toss to-

gether the berries with the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, orange zest and mint and place in refrigerator while you make the biscuits. Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a small food processor. Pulse once or twice to mix the dry ingredients. Add the butter, and pulse 7 or 8 times until mixture looks like wet sand.

Add half the egg into the yogurt and stir to com-

bine, and then pour on top of the flour. Process until the dough comes together in a large clump, about 30 seconds.

Empty the dough onto the counter and form into a 6” disk. Slice the dough into 6 wedges and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Brush lightly with a little remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with a little sugar on top. Bake until golden brown and fluffy, about 13-15 minutes. Re-move from the oven and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, make the cream: in a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, yogurt, vanilla and brown sugar until smooth.

Chill until ready to serve. To serve, split the biscuits in half, spoon some

ricotta cream on the bottom half, top with macerated berries and the top biscuit half. Enjoy.

In the world of summer barbecues, the pickle hardly plays a starring role.

Truth to be told, “hold the pickles” is my standard order, as I am not a fan of pickles on a cheeseburger, nor do I particularly care for pickle juice leak-ing onto my sandwich bread at a deli.

But homemade quick pickles made from a variety of fresh veggies, not just cucumbers, are a completely different story!

Quick pickles are made in minutes, not days, so the veggies stay crisper than store-bought versions. And since you control the ingredients, you can customize your pickles to make them as tart, sweet, sour, spicy or salty as you want.

Make one batch, and you’ll immedi-ately know how to adjust the flavours to your liking. You can even make a va-riety of pickling flavours easily — add extra smashed garlic cloves and red pepper flakes to the green beans and bump up the vinegar to give cauliflow-er floret pickles extra pucker.

You can even pickle fruit — sliced lemon, pineapple chunks, halved cher-ry tomatoes all make tangy toppings for grilled meats and spicy dishes.

The homemade pickle is a far more versatile actor than its commercial-ly-produced cousin. Try serving a vari-ety of lightly-pickled veggies with dip instead of the expected crudite.

Imagine a veritable mini-buffet of brightly colored pickled veggies in ma-son jars set up next to the condiments at your next barbecue.

Bring along a jar or two to someone else’s party this summer as a healthy

hostess gift.Or, just keep a jar or two in your

fridge for snacking. The basic reci-pe is easy enough to keep your fridge stocked, too.

Just six simple pantry ingredients are needed: vegetable, vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic and an herb or spice. (You do need kosher or coarse pickling salt — regular iodized salt will turn your vegetables an unappealing black.)

Which means homemade pickles can probably be on your menu tonight without even a trip to the store.

6-INGREDIENT QUICK PICKLESStart to Finish: 15 minutesYield: varies½ cup white vinegar1 tablespoon kosher salt2 teaspoons sugar6 smashed garlic cloves1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

flakes (or other spice or herb, such a mustard seed, celery seed, or dill)

2 cups vegetables, approximately, trimmed to fit in two 1-pint mason jars

Special equipment: 2 mason jars (1 pint size)

Heat the vinegar, salt and sugar in

a saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil and stir until salt and sugar dissolve, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile place the garlic and red pepper flakes at the bottom of the ma-son jars, and add the trimmed vegeta-bles. Pour the boiling pickling liquid into the jars to cover the vegetables completely. (You should have enough water, but if not, boil a little extra plain water and add.) Cover the jars and let the vegetables sit until cool enough to eat. Store in refrigerator. Best if eaten within a week.

Don’t go sour on homemade pickles


Six-ingredient pickles are made in minutes, not days, so the veggies stay crisper than store-bought versions.

HOODIrene Sophia 1923 - 2016Mrs. Irene Sophia Elizabeth Hood of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away peacefully at the Extendicare Michener Hill, Red Deer, Alberta on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at the age of 92 years. Irene was born in Grenfell, Saskatchewan on June 19, 1923. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Cindy Mamen, Hardy (Barbara) Hood and Lynette (Ed) Grose; her grandchildren Ashley and Dallas Mamen, Stephen and Dustin Hood and Emily and Carson Grose, her sister-in-law’s, Irene Gataint, Edith and Katie Dech, and brother-in-law, Vern Hack, as well as numerous relatives and close friends. Irene was predeceased by her husband Claybyn, her parents Jacob and Susanna Dech, her son-in-law Erik, siblings, George Fred, Chris, Jake, and Harold Dech and Katherine Milne and Jean Hack. Upon completion of school, Irene was as a hairdresser and owned her own salon. In 1952, she married Claybyn and they lived in Francis and Regina until the family relocated to Red Deer in 1966. After raising her children, she worked at the Red Deer Nursing Home for ten years. She loved to curl, golf, play bridge, and was active in the community. Irene had the gift of hospitality and her love language was cooking and baking for her family and friends, and is remembered for her perogies, cabbage rolls, cookies and so many other wonderful treats! She was a loving mother and grandmother, who treasured time with her family and loved serving others. Special thanks to the staff of Michener Extendicare and the many others who have helped Irene over the last number of years. A Celebration of Irene’s life will be held at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 18 Selkirk Blvd. Red Deer, Alberta on Tuesday, June 21, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial Donations in Irene’s honor may be made directly to the Canadian Lung Association, www.lung.ca/donate or the Canadian National Institute for the Blind

BEIRUT — Syrian government forces advanced to within six miles (10 kilometres) of the Islamic State-oc-cupied Tabqa air base in the northern part of the country on Sunday, part of a push to try to unseat the extremist group from its de facto capital, Raqqa.

Government forces recaptured the nearby Thawra oil field from IS mil-itants, according to a Syrian journal-ist Eyad al-Hosain, who is embedded with the army. Activists said Sunday’s government assault was accompanied by an aerial campaign on the town of Tabqa, five miles north of the air base. The activist group, Raqqa is Be-ing Slaughtered Silently, which smug-gles news out of IS-held territory, reported that fighter jets struck the town with cluster munitions, killing at least 10 civilians.

The Tabqa base, 45 kilometres (28 miles) from Raqqa, holds strategic and symbolic value in the government campaign on the IS capital. It was the last position held by government forces in Raqqa province before IS militants overran it in August 2014, killing scores of detained soldiers in a massacre they documented on video. Raqqa itself became the militants’ first captive city.

A Syrian opposition coalition, meanwhile, called on Turkey to inves-tigate the deaths of at least eight Syr-ian refugees, including four children, who were allegedly shot dead by bor-der guards Saturday night while try-ing to cross the frontier.

A statement by the National Coali-tion of Syrian Revolution and Oppo-sition Forces accused Turkish border guards of firing at a group of civilians trying to cross from Kherbet al-Jouz in northwestern Syria into Turkey’s Hatay province, killing 11 people.

The coalition, which relies on Turkish political and financial sup-

port, said the incident “clashes with the generosity displayed by the Turk-ish government and brotherly people toward displaced civilians.”

The Britain-based Syrian Observa-tory for Human Rights put the death toll at eight. The Local Coordination Committees, an activist network, said at least one of those trying to cross was from Jarablus, a northern Syrian town under Islamic State control.

A senior Turkish official said Tur-key was unable to independently ver-ify the claims regarding the shooting, but said authorities were investigat-ing.

“Turkey provides humanitarian assistance to displaced persons in northern Syria and follows an open-door policy — which means we admit refugees whose lives are under immi-nent threat,” said the official, speak-ing on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations.

Later Sunday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement denying that border guards had fatally shot Syrians trying to cross illegally into Turkey.

The Syrian war has pushed over 2.7 million refugees into Turkey, accord-ing to the United Nations. Turkey has tightened security along its border in recent months to prevent further inflows. The Observatory says border guards have shot dead 60 refugees try-ing to cross since the start of this year.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s TV station Al-Manar broadcast footage Sunday of a fierce aerial and artillery campaign against Syrian rebels, driving the mil-itants to abandon their positions in the thick of the battle.

It said the footage was from the southern Aleppo countryside. Activ-ists reported Saturday that rebels in co-ordination with al-Qaida militants managed to take two towns in the ar-ea, further threatening the govern-ment’s supply route to its neighbour-hoods in divided Aleppo city.


LOS ANGELES — Firefighters bat-tling home-threatening wildfires in the West are bracing for gusty winds and scorching heat on Sunday.

They made progress by contain-ing 45 per cent of a four-day-old fire in California coastal canyons after 40-mph “sundowner” winds failed to materialize.

Those evening and night gusts had driven the flames through steep, brushy canyons west of Santa Barbara on previous nights and forced closure of a major highway. However, fore-casters warned of extreme fire danger Sunday evening due to hot, dry weath-er and winds that could gust up to 50 mph.

No homes have burned, but about 270 homes and ranches are at risk and campgrounds are evacuated with flames only 2 miles from more dense-ly populated coastal communities.

In New Mexico, Gov. Susana Marti-nez directed the New Mexico Nation-al Guard to assist in securing com-munities affected by a massive wild-fire in the central part of the state. Guardsmen will be patrolling and protecting evacuated homes from pos-sible looting. They also will be called on to help with potential flooding.

The fire, which erupted in the Man-zano Mountains south of Albuquer-

que, has burned more than 27 square miles about 6 miles northwest of Ta-jique since Tuesday and spread a pall of smoke as far as Denver. The dam-age includes 24 homes and nearly as many structures near the small com-munity of Chilili.

The blaze is 9 per cent contained.In Arizona, a fire southwest of

Show Low was 30 per cent contained. Firefighters beefed up containment areas on the northern and western sides of the blaze.

Evacuation orders remain in effect for the community of Forestdale.

The fire has burned nearly 19 square miles since Wednesday.

Crews in Utah also made gains against three wildfires in the south-ern part of the state.

A 350-acre wildfire near Cedar City was 30 per cent contained, but the blaze still threatened 20 structures in-cluding homes and outbuildings.

More than 1,200 firefighters at-tacked the California fire, which has engulfed more than 12 square miles of mountain and agricultural lands. Overnight, crews nailed down lines on the fire’s west side, which hadn’t moved for days, Santa Barbara County fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni said.

However, the eastern side of the blaze was uncontrolled and virtually inaccessible. Crews were relying on aircraft water drops and on cutting firebreaks ahead of the flames.

TODAY IN HISTORY


LOS ANGELES — The forgetful blue fish of “Finding Dory” is box office gold. The Pixar sequel far-sur-passed its already Ocean-sized expectations to take in $136.2 million in North American theatres, making it the highest-grossing animated debut of all time, ac-cording to comScore estimates Sunday. The 2007 film Shrek the Third was the previous record-holder with a $121.6 million debut.

Finding Dory, which comes 13 years after Finding Nemo hit theatres, is also now the second-largest June opening of all time behind Jurassic World. The well-reviewed film features the voices of Ellen De-Generes and Albert Brooks and played particularly well with audiences, who gave the film an A Cine-maScore — Pixar’s 17th film in a row to receive the impressive grade.

Going into the weekend, analysts expected Find-ing Dory to do big, $100 million plus business, but never this much.

“The thought was ‘could this be the movie to eclipse Toy Story 3’s opening,’ not, ‘could it become the biggest animated opening of all time,”’ said Paul Dergarabedian, comScore’s senior media analyst. “That’s the power of the Pixar brand.”

“Toy Story 3” was the biggest Pixar opening ever until now with $110.3 million.

Disney’s Executive Vice-President of Distribution Dave Hollis was particularly heartened that the film did such robust late night business on both Friday and Saturday.

“That’s really a testament to this being a picture for everyone — not just for families,” Hollis said.

Finding Dory has the animated seas to itself until The Secret Life of Pets opens July 8.

The Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson buddy com-edy Central Intelligence also had a relatively muscu-lar weekend, with a better-than-expected $34.5 mil-lion, putting it in second place.

“It’s a real home run,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ executive vice-president of domestic distri-bution. “These two comedians are just stars. They connect with their audience and each other in such a strong way. You just laugh when you watch them.”

Central Intelligence cost a reported $50 million to make and scored especially well with younger audi-ences, who the studio hopes will propel the word of mouth in weeks to come. The next major comedy re-leases don’t come until mid-July with Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates and Ghostbusters.

In third place, the James Wan horror pic “The Conjuring 2” fell 62 per cent in its second weekend in theatres, earning $15.6 million and bringing its do-mestic total to $71.7 million.

Rounding out the top five were Now You See Me 2, with $9.7 million and Warcraft, with $6.5 million, both of which opened last weekend.

Overall, the weekend is down nearly 5 per cent from last year, when Inside Out launched with $90.4 million and Jurassic World earned $106.6 million in its second weekend in theatres.

Still, Dergarabedian notes that the comparatively

big audiences this weekend are good for the busi-ness in the long run since they’ll be exposed to trail-ers for upcoming summer films. The success of Find-ing Dory and Central Intelligence also comes at a criti-cal moment after a few weekends of underwhelming sequels and all out flops.

“A movie like ‘Dory’ can reinvigorate a market-place that has been in the doldrums for the last few weeks,” he said. “It helps everyone.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sun-day at U.S. and Cana-dian theatres, accord-ing to comScore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. Finding Dory, $136.2 million.

2. Central Intelligence, $34.5 million.

3. The Conjuring 2, $15.6 million.

4. Now You See Me 2, 9.7 million.5. Warcraft, $6.5 million.6. X-Men: Apocalypse, $5.2 million.7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,

$5.2 million.8. Me Before You, $4.2 million.9. Alice Through the Looking Glass, $3.6 million.10. Captain America: Civil War, $2.3 million.

LOS ANGELES — Anton Yelchin, a rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the new Star Trek films, was killed by his own car as it rolled down his driveway early Sunday, police and his publicist said.

The car pinned Yelchin, 27, against a brick mail-box pillar and a security fence at his home in Los Angeles, Officer Jenny Hosier said. He had gotten out of the vehicle momentarily, but police did not say why he was behind it when it started rolling.

Yelchin was on his way to meet friends for a re-hearsal, Hosier said. When he didn’t show up, the group came to his home and found him dead.

The freak accident tragically cuts short the prom-ising career of an actor whom audiences were still getting to know and who had great artistic ambition. Star Trek Beyond, the third film in the rebooted se-ries, comes out in July.

Director J.J. Abrams, who cast Yelchin in the franchise, wrote in a statement that he was “brilliant … kind … funny as hell, and supremely talented.”

His death was felt throughout the industry.“He was a ferocious movie buff who put us all to

shame,” said Gabe Klinger, who directed Yelchin in the upcoming film Porto, likely to be released this fall. “He was watching four or five movies every night — silent movies.”

Yelchin began acting as a child, taking small roles in independent films and various television shows, such as ER, The Practice, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. His breakout big-screen role came opposite Anthony Hopkins in 2001’s Hearts in Atlantis.

He transitioned into teen roles in films such as the crime thriller Alpha Dog and the comedy Charlie Bartlett. He also played a young Kyle Reese in 2009’s Terminator Salvation.

Yelchin, an only child, was born in Russia. His parents were professional figure skaters who moved the family to the United States when Yelchin was a baby. He briefly flirted with skating lessons, too, before discovering that he wasn’t very skilled on the ice. That led him to acting class.

“I loved the improvisation part of it the most, be-cause it was a lot like just playing around with stuff. There was something about it that I just felt com-pletely comfortable doing and happy doing,” Yelchin told The Associated Press in 2011 while promoting the romantic drama Like Crazy. He starred opposite Felicity Jones.

“(My father) still wanted me to apply to college and stuff, and I did,” Yelchin said. “But this is what I wanted.”

The discipline that Yelchin learned from his ath-

lete parents translated into his work as an actor, which he treated with seriousness and professional-ism, said Klinger, the director.

He drew on his Russian roots for his role as the heavily accented navigator Chekov in the Star Trek films, his most high-profile to date.

“What’s great about him is he can do anything. He’s a chameleon. He can do bigger movies or small-er, more intimate ones,” Like Crazy director Drake Doremus told the AP in 2011. “There are a lot of peo-ple who can’t, who can only do one or the other. … That’s what blows my mind.”

Yelchin seemed to fit in anywhere in Hollywood. He could do big sci-fi franchises and vocal work in “The Smurfs,” while also appearing in more eccen-tric and artier fare, like Jim Jarmusch’s vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive and Jeremy Saulnier’s hor-

ror thriller Green Room, a cult favourite that came out earlier this year.

Klinger recalled a conversation with Jarmusch about Yelchin before Klinger cast him in “Porto.”

“Jim was like, ‘Watch out. Anton read Dostoyevsky when he was like 11 years old!”’ Klinger said.

The director said that for Yelchin, every film was an opportunity to learn and study more. He admired Nicolas Cage’s laser-focus on the Paul Schrader film Dying of the Light and also got to work with one of his acting heroes, Willem Dafoe, on the film Odd Thomas.

“He used to refer to Willem as an artist, not an actor,” Klinger said. “That’s the kind of actor he as-pired to be, where people didn’t regard him as an actor, they regarded him as an artist.”

Yelchin’s publicist, Jennifer Allen, confirmed his death and said his family requests privacy.

BY THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON – Hey, isn’t that … Nick Cannon, the multi-hyphenated entertainer and soon-to-be-ex-husband of elusive chanteuse Mariah Carey, having dinner with friends at the W hotel on Friday night?

Our sources tell us that Cannon and two other guys hung out at the POV rooftop lounge, the popular A-listy des-tination atop the W.

The actor, 35, was in town for the second annual National Maker Faire,

part of the White House’s push for ed-ucation in science, technology, engi-neering and math.

These have been tough days for the dad of two. Cannon and Carey split in 2014, and his alleged reluctance to finalize their divorce has since been making headlines, even more so now that Carey is engaged to Australian bil-lionaire James Packer.

Last week, Cannon rapped about his tabloid-friendly troubles in a single called, you guessed it, Divorce Papers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Attached Bulls — things could get hot and heavy at Ca-sa Taurus, as the Full Moon invigorates your intimacy zone. Singles — you’re in a hurry to find a dependable partner but you’ll have to

be patient.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can get

so caught up in the busyness of daily life that you neglect those closest to you. The full moonbeams fall in your relationship zone, so spend quality time with loved ones today or tonight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): With the Full Moon activating your work and daily routine zone, chances are you’ll be burning the mid-night oil. Pace yourself Crabs, otherwise you may suffer from a stress-related health issue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Full Moon lights up your entertainment zone so it’s the perfect time to party, see a movie, go to a concert or entertain at home. But, when it comes to a child or friend, are you jumping to conclusions?

Dear Annie: About 30 years ago, my husband became friends with “Rob,” who was personable and fun. However, Rob’s wife, “Doris,” was unpleasant to be around.

In 30 years, she never had one nice thing to say about anyone, including me.

Rob became ill and spent months in a nursing home. Doris often would phone me and say she wished he would “just go to sleep.” Three weeks ago, he finally did.

Doris now calls us several times a week. She carries on about how won-derful Rob was and how much she misses him. She is usually drunk when she calls.

When they married, Rob had a young daughter from a previous mar-

riage and Doris had two sons. There has always been a rift between the children.

Rob’s daughter told me that when she was a child, Doris was terribly mean to her and has never made any effort to create a warmer relationship.

Recently a walkathon was held in Rob’s memory. People walked in teams and the top-10 teams were entitled to a prize at the end.

Doris’ son and grandson were paired with her stepdaughter’s two children. Their group left before the prizes were distributed, so I suggested to Doris that she choose four prizes for them. She returned with prizes for her son and grandson, but nothing for the others.

When I asked why, she said there were no prizes left. But, Annie, there were dozens of prizes left. This really upset me, because it proved what a spiteful and mean-spirited person she is.

I told my family about this and they said it was time to get Doris out of my life. But we live in a small community

and it will be difficult to avoid her. My question is, should I tell her why

I’m upset or just stop answering the phone when she calls? I have not spo-ken to her since the walkathon. — Up-set in Texas

Dear Upset: You are not obligated to remain friends with Doris simply be-cause you have known her for 30 years. You apparently never much cared for her. Since you are planning to end the friendship anyway, it does no harm to let her know why.

Please don’t be unkind. Simply tell her that the way she treats other peo-ple, especially Rob’s daughter and grandchildren, bothers you so much that you won’t be able to continue the friendship. Then suggest that speaking to a therapist might be life-changing for her. People who are so negative of-ten have untreated depression.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Oregon,” who said she was in an ac-cident during a bicycle race and her husband had her cellphone and all of her identification in his backpack.

My husband and I run half mara-

thons. He’s faster, so we are rarely to-gether. Here’s what we do: All run-ners have a bib with their race number printed on it.

On the reverse is space for your name, medications and emergency contact info. On my bib, I write my hus-band’s name, cellphone number and his bib number. He does the same for me.

We also have ID bracelets that we wear anytime we’re running, even in our little subdivision. You never know when there will be an emergency. — West Virginia

Dear West Virginia: Thanks for the great suggestions. Even if you aren’t in a race, you should have identification, including your name, an emergency contact, any medications, etc. It pays to be careful.

How to comfort a fearful childBY MEAGHAN LEAHY

SPECIAL TO ADVOCATE

Q: Our 2-year-old is scared of ma-ny things: using slides, going on Fer-ris wheels with his parents, playing in ball pits, even riding a merry-go-round on his dad’s lap.

He seems to be hyper-aware of his surroundings. Other than that, he is a typical toddler who is developing on schedule, knows his ABCs, can say a ton of words and sentences, etc.

Is this something we should wait out? How much should we continue to try these things?

A: This is a great question because it is a great example of the healthy and normal development of a 2-year-old. It is also a great question because par-ents often make the mistake of attrib-uting intelligence to maturity.

So, let’s unpack this a bit, shall we?Why is your 2-year-old afraid of

slides, Ferris wheels, ball pits and merry-go-rounds? Because they are scary!

I don’t know about you, but I know quite a few adults (my husband is one) who are afraid of rides. The speed and the height are not exhilarating for him, and many other children and adults feel the same way.

It is absolutely normal for humans to be afraid of rides, slides and ball pits. So let’s begin by normalizing the fear that is felt about these activities, for anyone of any age.

More important, why is a 2-year-old even more scared of these things? Why do 2-year-old children cling to their parent’s legs? Why are they “hy-per-aware” of their surroundings?

Because biologically, 2-year-olds need to be scared. Their lives depend on it. Their young systems need to be alarmed and say, “Whoa, buddy. Stay

close to your mom. This is not safe.” And even though your son is show-

ing signs that he is intelligent, he is still immature. He cannot look at a slide or ride and say, “Get it together. This ride has been inspected and is thoroughly safe. Get over your fear and get up there!”

No. A 2-year-old is completely scared because he is meant to be. His primary need in life is to be loved and stay close to those to whom he is at-tached.

When he is close to you, he feels safe and protected. We want him close because he lacks the maturity to make good decisions when he goes out on his own.

We also need to think about what it’s like for a 2-year-old’s brain to take in so much sensory information at once. An adult with a mature brain can stand in a crowded hall of talking peo-ple and focus enough to listen to one person. This takes maturity.

But a 2-year-old is experiencing it all, all at once. Screams. Laughter. Flashing lights. It is overwhelming; it is supposed to be overwhelming to him. He is meant to be alarmed, and his brain says, “Too much! Stay near Mommy! Not safe!”

Furthermore, you cannot teach a child to feel safe. Feeling safe is an emotion that comes naturally when the connection is strong, so we want to en-

courage it when we see it.Here is a short list of what will

make 2-year-olds more fearful:● Physically pushing them toward

what scares them. This will make them doubly alarmed, as they will be scared not just of the ride but also that you are trying to “get rid” of them.

● Bribing, rewarding or punishing them to get them to go to what scares them.

● Constantly trying to talk up or cheerlead how “great” it will be.

● Comparing their fear with other children’s “bravery.”

● Constantly bringing them to what scares them in the hope they will change their mind.

Here is a short list of what will make them feel safe:

● When Mom, Dad or their caretak-er stands at a distance and just watch-es.

● Asking whether they would like to go on once and not bringing it up again. Take “no” for an answer.

● Acknowledging and normalizing their feelings. “It is loud and scary, isn’t it?”

● Welcoming them into your pres-ence, unconditionally. “You can stay with me as long as you like. I will not force you to do this.”

● Finding something that makes them smile.

You may have a child who will come to love these activities or you may have a child who will never get on a ride. It is not up to you. Your job is to love and support your son and to trust that he is right where he needs to be. And it seems as though he is.
