Red Deer can lay claim to the 2014 Veterinarian of the Year.

On Saturday night, Dr. John Dug-an Sr. received the prestigious award from the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association at the ABVMA’s member-ship recognition banquet in Calgary.

Veterinarian of the Year is one of the highest awards the association can bestow on a member, and is presented to those who make outstanding con-tributions to veterinary medicine or veterinary science.

Dugan, who has been practising for 61 years, said he decided to become a veterinarian at age 15 while working on a dairy farm in northern Vermont, where he saw the local veterinarian perform what appeared to be “mira-cles.”

Dugan saw the veterinarian save a cow suffering from milk fever; success-fully treat a horse with a badly swollen neck; diagnose blackleg in a deceased heifer to protect the rest of the herd; and save the life of a mixed-breed col-lie by amputating its leg.

“By miracle number four, I was hooked and I decided then and there somehow, someway, I’d be a veterinar-ian. And I did,” said Dugan, who is the veterinary surgeon at Red Deer Veteri-

nary Clinic, at 7171 50th Ave.But Dugan didn’t expect to be prac-

tising twice as long as he anticipated — with no retirement date circled on the calendar.

Rotary Club of Red Deer East and Rotaract Red Deer are making a dif-ference in the lives of people in the Philippines.

On Feb. 17 members returned from a 20-day trip to the Southeast Asian country where they visited a school to distribute 357 sustainable feminine hy-giene kits in Tanauan City, and a fresh water project at the indigenous Aeta village in Subic Bay.

“It still floors me that in 2015 there are needs like this that Rotary can still address. I’m happy that through the power of Rotary, and Rotary Interna-tional, we can make a difference in the lives of these people and they can thrive,” said Ingrid Luymes, member-ship chair of the Rotaract Red Deer.

The Red Deer clubs partnered with Rotary Club Las Piñas-Camino Real in the Philippines on the fresh water project.

Assistance was also available local-ly with 250 of the feminine hygiene kits sewn by the Days for Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter.

Days for Girls International is a vol-unteer-driven, grassroots non-profit that gives women and girls access to sustainable hygiene products so they don’t have to stay home from work or school when they have their menstrual periods.

Each kit includes a cloth drawstring bag that contains two cotton shields with waterproof liners to hold flannel pads, eight flannel tri-fold pads, two one-gallon Ziploc freezer bags to trans-port soiled items and for soaking and washing items with very little water, one pair of panties, one washcloth, one travel-sized soap, and one instruction sheet.

“A well-looked-after, well-built kit

will last up to three years because we use quality materials and we teach the girls to wash them and then to dry them in the sun which kills the bac-teria,” said Shelley DeBoon, director of Days for Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter.

Several hotels in Red Deer and Calgary donated 2,100 travel-size bars of soap to the Red Deer chapter and some were used in the kits bound for Tanauan.

Materials to make one kit costs about $10 which are produced by chap-ter volunteers who partner with orga-nizations to distribute the kits. Train-

ing is also available for impoverished communities to start their own pro-grams to sew and put together kits lo-cally as a way to earn money.

DeBoon, of Red Deer County, said many people don’t realize there are no personal hygiene options available to many women and girls in different areas of the world.

“It gives them back six months of their lives over three years from time missed from school or work.”

Days for Girls has reached over 75 countries on six continents.


PENHOLD - Kerry Towle will in-deed run as a Progressive Conserva-tive candidate in the next provincial election.

Towle, one of 11 Wildrose MLAs to cross the floor to the PCs late last year, was chosen by Tories in the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake riding to be their can-didate, beating out Red Deer County Mayor Jim Wood.

A total of 1,049 ballots were cast during two advanced polls, and the final poll held on Saturday at the Pen-hold Multiplex.

The number of votes each candidate received was not disclosed.

Towle was beaming when her name was announced at the multiplex where about 60 PC members waited for the results.

“No question, it feels wonderful,” said Towle, 41.

“I knew I took a risk when I decided to leave my former party and join Pre-mier Prentice’s team. I’ve never regret-ted a day of it and I still don’t.”

As MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, Towle said her work continues with important issues to address in the rid-ing like urgent care, transportation and schools.

“None of my work stops. I think we get to take a moment to breathe, and tomorrow we go back to work. We’ve got to rebuild this riding and bring all Albertans under Premier Prentice. I’m looking forward to doing that,” said Towle, who defeated longtime Tory Luke Ouellette in the 2012 provincial election when she ran for the Wil-drose.


Dr. John Dugan Sr. takes a look at Ghost on Friday afternoon at the Red Deer Veterinary Clinic. Dugan has been named the Vet of the Year by the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association.

VET: Learn something every day

“I learn something every day. I suppose that would be the time to quit, when I cease learning,” said the veterinarian, who was given an honourary life mem-bership by the Alberta Veterinary Medical Associa-tion a few years ago.

“I never know what’s going to come through that door. There’s all kinds of challenges.”

Animal care is a way of life for Dugan, who started his practice in Red Deer in 1955.

With an estimated 4,000 patients on file, they in-clude families who have been bringing their pets to Dugan for three generations.

“It’s been great. It’s not a job.”Dugan, who attends an annual veterinary confer-

ence in Banff to stay up-to-date on what is new in animal care, said veterinary medicine just continues to evolve.

But one thing that never changes is the amazing relationship people can have with their pets, he said.

“The human-animal bond is very important. For some of the older people, that’s all they have.”

Dugan was nominated for his latest award by veterinary toxicologist Dr. Robert Coppock, of Veg-reville, Both Dugan and Coppock have volunteered with the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Veteri-narian Medicine to interview students vying for ad-mission.

Dugan said news of his latest award came as a complete surprise.

“You could have knocked me over with a feather. I was caught flat-footed this time.”

PHILIPPINES: Get to school“Some girls will do anything to get to school.

They’ll use rocks, corn husks, grass, moss, anything so they can go. Some of the girls don’t even know why they get their period so Days for Girls also trains them about their bodies and menstrual cycle.”

Luymes, of Lacombe, said a doctor talked to the girls in Tanauan before the kits were distributed.

“There was some girls who were a little big un-comfortable, but I would say there was relief as well once we spoke and explained everything,” Luymes said.

She said some of the Grade 7 and 8 students had access to other hygiene products, but disposal was a problem with no trash service and littered pads add to the stigma girls face.

A total of $3,500 was raised by Rotary Club of Red Deer East, and from personal donations by club members and others in Central Alberta, to bring Days for Girls to Tanauan.

Days for Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter has about 50 volunteers. For more information e-mail [email protected] or visit the Days For Girls Red Deer Alberta Chapter Facebook page.

While in the Philippines, the Rotary and Rotaract members also visited the water project they helped fund at the indigenous Aeta village in Subic Bay.

The project was named The Monty J. Audenart Clean Water Project in honour of the well-known member of the Rotary Club of Red Deer East. The project involved installing a water line from a spring, and a water storage and purifying system.

Harvey Maskowitz, president of Rotary Club of Red Deer East, said the water system has only been operational for about six months.

Members also visited other projects while in the Philippines.

Luymes said it’s amazing how much difference safe drinking water has made for the 700 people who call the Aeta village home. Without safe drinking water, residents of the farming community were of-ten too sick to work. Clean water allows residents to earn a living.

“It’s a huge, huge win for that community,”

Luymes said. For anyone interested in finding out more about

Rotaract, a membership drive will be held at Bo’s Bar and Grill on March 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. Rotaract is open to students and young adults age 18 to 30.

TOWLE: Continue onWood, who will continue on as Red Deer County’s

mayor, said he knew it was going to be a close race and congratulated Towle on her win.

“We had a huge turnout tonight and I think that shows that the party is rebuilding,” Wood said.

Dennis Cooper, PC constituency president for the riding, said over 300 new memberships were sold during the candidate race.

“It’s bringing a lot of people back into the fold and we’re bringing brand new people into our party,” Cooper said.

And now the work begins on winning the next election, he said.

“I think we have a great, strong candidate that works hard for the constituency, that works hard for all the people in Sylvan, Innisfail, Penhold and Red Deer County and that’s what we need.”

Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle, along with her husband Brad Towle, left, and supporters react to her winning the nomination to become the Progressive Conservative candidate for the riding in the next provincial election.

Many turned away as hundreds line up for funeral of boy who froze to deathTORONTO - Hundreds of mourners filled a Toron-

to church to capacity, spilling out onto the streets for Saturday’s funeral of three-year-old Elijah Marsh, whose tragic death earlier this month touched the hearts of Canadians across the country.

Elijah died after he wandered out of his grand-mother’s apartment building on Feb. 19 in the mid-dle of a frigid night wearing just a diaper, shirt and boots.

His funeral drew people from across the Greater Toronto Area. Some lined up for hours to pay their respects to the Marsh family at the St. Matthew’s United Church, many of whom did not know the fam-ily personally but who were deeply affected by Eli-jah’s death.

“I am here to support the family, I don’t know them but I lost a son four years ago so I know what it is like to lose a child,” said Beverly Williamson of Brampton. “The memories will stay forever, the pain will never go away, but they will learn to deal with it and cope with it as the days go by.”

The church was filled to capacity before the service even began, while a nearby warming cen-tre where people could sign a guestbook was also packed with those who wanted to share their grief with the family.

Devon Haughton, who also attended the service, said there was an incredible outpouring of support from the community.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta’s Wildrose leadership candidates signalled Satur-day that taxes and trust will be the key wedge issues when they do battle with Premier Jim Prentice’s PCs in a spring election.

“Wildrose is the only thing standing between Alberta and huge tax increas-es,” leadership candidate Brian Jean told more than 150 party members at a campaign readiness forum.

“Just when people are hurting, just when the price of oil went down, just when there’s layoffs, just when there’s cuts, (the Progressive Conservatives’) answer is to make you pay for their mistakes.”

Prentice and Finance Minister Robin Campbell have said they are looking at personal income tax hikes along with increases to user fees and tuitions, as well as the return of health premiums, to pay for billions of dollars in lost budget revenue due to plum-meting oil prices.

They have said oil royalties and cor-porate taxes won’t be hiked.

Campbell has also promised five per

cent department spending cuts across the board, and all MLAs have accepted five per cent pay cuts.

But candidate Drew Barnes told party faithful the Tories have lost the trust of the public to do the job be-cause of years of wasteful spending.

“After 44 years of waste and entitle-ment, we have the most expensive gov-ernment in Canada,” said Barnes.

“Our PC government spent almost $2,000 per capita per year more than the Canadian average.”

“(Albertans want) a government they can trust to operate a fair and ethical functioning democracy.”

Prentice, in the context of spend-ing, has called the wages of teachers, nurses, and other civil servants “un-sustainable.”

Candidate Linda Osinchuk, in her speech, called that policy self-defeat-ing.

“The front-line workers need to be supported, not cut down,” said Osin-chuk.

All political parties have been scrambling to sign up candidates for an election call expected as early as late March. Prentice all but confirmed this week the election was coming

when he said the budget and long-term financial blueprint he will table next month will be so revolutionary, they will demand a “mandate” from Alber-tans to carry out.

Prentice has promised to remake the foundations of how the govern-ment raises and spends money so that day-to-day department budgets are not held hostage to the swings of oil prices.

The Wildrose leader will be an-nounced March 28.

The race was called after former leader Danielle Smith and 10 other caucus members crossed the floor to Prentice late last year.

The candidates said the floor-cross-es brought cynicism, anger and disil-lusionment but said the party is de-termined to forge that dismay into a steely resolve to stay alive.

The Violet Richardson award for young volunteers goes to Kelsey Olsen from Lacombe, who volunteers for A Better World, her school’s Rotary Interact club and the Lacombe recre-ation, culture and parks board.

Worlds collide: Danielle Smith nomination on same

EDMONTON — It looks like politi-cal worlds will be colliding at the end of this month in Alberta.

The Progressive Conservatives have announced that backbencher Danielle Smith will learn on March 28 whether she will be their candidate for her rid-ing in Highwood.

On the same day, the Wildrose party will announce a new leader to replace Smith. Smith led eight other Wildrose members across the floor to Premier Jim Prentice and the PCs late last year. She has been criticized for deci-mating Alberta’s Official Opposition.

Smith is running against Okotoks town councillor Carrie Fischer for the nomination.

The risk of doing nothingFAILING TO VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN ENDANGERS SOCIETY

Eight million tonnes. That’s how much plastic we’re tossing into the oceans every year! University of Georgia environmental engineer Jenna Jambeck says it’s enough to line up five grocery bags of trash on every foot of coastline in the world.

A study published by Jam-beck and colleagues in the journal Science on February 12 examined how 192 coastal countries disposed of plastic waste in 2010. The report, Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean, estimates that of 275 million tonnes of plas-tic generated, about eight million (based on a midpoint estimate of 4.8 million to 12.7 million tonnes) ends up in the seas — blown from garbage dumps into rivers and estuar-ies, discarded on beaches or along coastlines and carried to the oceans.

China tops the list of 20 countries responsible for 83 per cent of “misman-aged plastic” in the oceans, sending between 1.32 and 3.53 million tonnes into the seas. The U.S., which has better waste-management systems, is number 20 on the list, responsible for 0.04 to 0.11 tonnes. Some countries in the top 20 don’t even have formal waste-management systems. The fear is that, as human pop-ulations grow, the amount of plastic going into the oceans will increase dramatically if countries don’t

improve waste-management systems and practices — and reduce the amount of plastic they produce and use.

Scientists don’t know where most plastic ends up or what overall effect it’s having on marine life and food supplies. They do know that massive islands of plastic and other waste — some as large as Saskatch-ewan — swirl in five gyres in the north and south Pacific, north and south Atlantic and Indian oceans. But that’s only a small amount of the total.

Plastic is everywhere in our seas. It accumu-lates on the sea floor and in sediments, washes up on coastlines and is taken up by fish and other sea creatures. It affects birds, fish, mammals and other marine life. It eventually breaks down into smaller bits, which can look like fish eggs and get eaten by marine animals, but it never biodegrades. Those par-ticles, or microplastics, just keep building up. They also absorb and concentrate toxic chemicals, poison-ing the animals that consume them. Studies show that 44 per cent of all seabird species have plastic in and around their bodies, and fish, birds, turtles and whales often become fatally entangled in plastic waste.

Even the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went down over the South China Sea in March 2014, was confounded when investigators looking for crash evidence kept finding plastic debris.

Humans depend on healthy oceans for food, wa-ter, air, recreation and transportation. Oceans con-tain more than 97 per cent of the planet’s water and produce more than half the oxygen we breathe. They also absorb carbon — important to reducing global

warming. Half the world’s people live in coastal zones, and ocean-based businesses contribute more than $500 billion a year to the global economy.

What we do to the oceans and the life therein, we do to ourselves. So what can we do to keep them — and us — healthy?

The report’s authors say reducing “mismanaged” plastic waste, regulating the amount of plastics that enter the waste stream and improving waste-dispos-al methods in the top 20 offending countries are all essential.

But, Jambeck notes, “It’s not just about improv-ing the infrastructure in other countries. There are things we can do in our daily lives to reduce the amount of waste plastic we all produce.”

Canada’s relatively good waste-disposal and recy-cling systems keep us off the 20 worst offenders list — but we can still do better. Reducing the amount of plastic we use is the first step. For consumers, that means avoiding overpackaged goods and unneces-sary plastic items, such as bottled water, single-serve K-cup coffee pods and disposable products. We must also get better at reusing and recycling. According to a report by the U.S. non-profit As You Sow, plastic is the fastest-growing form of packaging, and only about 14 per cent gets recycled.

Oceans and the life they support face numerous threats, from climate change to overfishing. Reduc-ing the amount of plastic we dump into them is a challenge we can meet. Let’s get on it.

SCIENCE

BY BRIAN W. ROTENBERGSPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Every day when I see patients in my surgical clinic, some are offered a procedure to help them feel better. Whether it is a minor surgery like a tonsillectomy, or something larger scale such as tumor resection, I have a full discussion with the patient re-garding the benefits and risks of doing “something.”

Each time I go over the common mi-nor risks of an intervention and the exceedingly rare, but potentially very serious, risks that can occur. I also re-view with them the risks of doing noth-ing — of what may happen if they don’t have surgery.

Vaccination is no different. Vacci-nation involves an injection in order to provoke the body’s immune response to protect against an outside infection. Like all medical therapies, vaccination has both its benefits and its relative risks, and an informed patient or par-ent needs to balance the two.

In the case of the measles mumps rubella vaccination (also known as MMR), its overwhelming success in eradicating deadly diseases of child-hood speaks clearly to the benefits.

However, it has become fashionable in society recently to hold vaccination to a different standard than most other medical risks that individuals gener-ally accept when they receive health care.

Understanding the nature of rela-tive risk can help to frame the issue into a clearer perspective. Not all risks are the same, either in terms of likelihood or severity, and sometimes the risk of doing nothing can be more harmful than the risk of doing some-thing.

In the case of MMR vaccination, the risks of doing something — of receiving a vaccine — include relatively common but minor issues such as fever or a sore arm, and an exceedingly rare severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.

The risk of doing nothing — of not receiving a vaccine — at first glance seems very simple, that being a higher likelihood of getting the disease the vaccine is designed to prevent.

In the case of measles for example, the risk of getting the disease if an un-vaccinated person is exposed to some-one carrying the virus is very high, close to 100 per cent.

People who have measles then sub-sequently have the further risk of de-veloping a host of devastating medi-

cal problems including brain damage, deafness or blindness.

However, there is a more serious but hidden risk of doing nothing — not getting the MMR vaccine — that be-ing the risk of causing serious harm to someone else who hasn’t received the vaccine.

Not all people can be vaccinated even if they wanted to be (e.g., very young children and people having che-motherapy) and because of this, they are at higher risk for catching a con-tagious disease. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known.

In order to have a low likelihood of transmitting measles to those who are unable to be immunized, it is esti-mated that approximately 95 per cent of the population has to be vaccinated. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the overall country-wide MMR vaccination rate just barely meets that mark (based on the most re-cently available 2011 data). If the vac-cination rate begins to fall in different provinces, our population will lose its overall immunity.

The media are reporting daily new outbreaks of measles in children in Canada and the United States, a scourge that society once thought de-feated.

There appears to be a strong cause-and-effect relationship between the emerging trend not to get vaccinated and the growing number of new sick children.

The overwhelming majority of cases of measles are in children who did not get vaccinated.

This fact should not be seen as sur-prising. For those children, the par-ents’ decision to do nothing is what al-lowed the virus to grow within them; in their case, the decision to do nothing clearly outweighed the risk of doing something, with potentially life-alter-ing consequences.

Even these small dips in vaccination rate have had major consequences — just imagine if the trend continues.

Patients who are considering not getting an MMR vaccination for them-selves or their children need to com-pare the relative risks of doing some-thing versus nothing. In the case of the MMR vaccine, doing nothing is the more dangerous choice — and it is put-ting children, and society at large, at risk.

Stop filling and killing the oceans with plastic

Snow removal mishandledIt is with interest and regret that we read so many

letters and comments about snow clearing in this city. These are clearly deserved and express the true frustration over the mishandling of this issue by the city.

Why does this fall on deaf ears with city adminis-tration and councillors?

Many Red Deer residents have lived in numer-ous other communities that receive comparable snowfalls and yet do a far better job of plowing and removal with similar or less equipment and budgets to work with.

Perhaps our Public Works manager needs to ex-amine how they do this or would he prefer to just ignore this issue?

His comments in the Friday, Feb. 13, Advocatethat elderly people that are no longer capable of removing windrows left across their driveway by city snow clearing equipment should call on friends or neighbours or relatives to do what the city should in fact be doing in the first place shows nothing but contempt and arrogance for these seniors, who are paying, have paid, and will continue to pay taxes for city services of which snow removal is part.

In the Parkvale area, the majority are seniors without the physical or financial capability of having this done privately.

Given his comments and lack of concern for local residents, one can’t help but wonder if this particu-lar manager has been in his job too long?

While some people may think this question is a bit unfair, think of our seniors and the attitude of the city. This needs to be addressed!

TORONTO — Groups of students huddle around desks at a university campus as the instructor gives out a quick overview of the job at hand: build a crane, create an electromagnet and pick up metal.

Work begins in earnest with some of the students building their contrap-tions with wheels “for better trans-portation” while others build them for strength.

But these are not university stu-dents. They are Grade 3 and Grade 4 students — about half of them girls — who like to spend a few hours on the weekend building “stuff” and learning about science.

“I’ve been building stuff a long time,” says eight-year-old Yashu Ten-neti.

“In our school we’re building bridg-es out of Popsicle sticks.”

Does she want to be an engineer or scientist when she grows up?

“I don’t know. I want to be many things,” she says.

The class is part of an outreach pro-gram at the University of Toronto de-signed to help break gender, finan-cial and racial barriers. The university hopes girls like Yashu will eventually enter an engineering program.

Many other universities across the country offer similar programs to en-courage women to get into the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. York University, for example, runs all-girl courses that teach science through superheroes.

Later this week, the university is expected to launch the Lassonde 50:50 Challenge — an initiative that aims to achieve an equal gender-split en-rolment at its Lassonde engineering school.

The gender divide in professions such as engineering and computer sci-ences is a startling problem in Canada. According to Engineers Canada, about 88 per cent of engineers are men.

Those numbers are slowly changing because of programs such as these, ac-cording to Jennifer Flanagan, the CEO of Actua — an Ottawa-based charity that promotes science to children, es-pecially girls.

“They can experiment, tinker and that kind of environment is really con-ducive to boosting their confidence,” Flanagan said of the programs, which include all-girl science classes. They have been around for two decades, she said, but they’ve become more popular in recent years.

Last September, the first-year un-dergraduate engineering class at the University of Toronto saw 365 women, a 25 per cent increase from the year before. At the University of British Co-lumbia, 29 per cent of its first-year en-

gineering students this year are wom-en, a 61-per-cent jump from 2010.

Progress, however, is slow. A report from Engineers Canada shows just 18.3 per cent of undergraduate engineer-ing degrees were awarded to women across the country in 2013, up slightly from 17.6 per cent in 2009.

While the program where the kids were building cranes was coed, the University of Toronto offers all-girl classes, which have become quite pop-ular, according to Dawn Britton, who is part of the school’s engineering out-reach office. The university also offers summer and March break camps as well as weekend science classes for girls.

The goal, Britton said, is to get girls interested in science at a young age, starting at eight years old. At the Uni-versity of Waterloo, programs begin for girls as young as six.

Flanagan said her organization’s re-search shows girls start losing interest in sciences when they reach Garde 9, when they have to start preparing for their future.

Most university science programs require applicants to have taken ad-vanced math and science courses in high school.

“If they don’t take physics and ad-vanced math classes in high school, then it’s already too late,” Flanagan said.

Parents are a big part of the gen-der divide problem, Flanagan said, be-cause they often try to influence their children’s career choices based on ste-reotypes.

“They are projecting a false under-standing of what those careers are on their daughters and not their sons,” she said.

So at the Actua programs, which are offered at 33 universities in Canada, they give pamphlets to the parents to help dispel those myths.

Ray Jayawardhana, the dean of the faculty of science at York University, agreed. The under-representation of women highlights the larger issue bar-riers blocking entry into science.

“There is a growing body of evi-dence that kids don’t choose what they would do when they grow up very early, but they seem to rule out what they might not do very early,” said Jayawardhana, 43, adding that he was just a boy when he decided to become an astronomer.

“I grew up in Sri Lanka and I’m an astronomer and there is not a single astronomer to date in Sri Lanka — a country of 20 million people. So the idea that when you’re growing up you can do science or astronomy when no one else is doing it is difficult. It takes a leap into the unknown to think that,” he said. “Our hope is to keep careers in science, engineering and technology in the mix.”

Sittler stones Rebels in homecomingBY GREG MEACHEM

ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

Hurricanes 3 Rebels 2 (SO)Pressure? What pressure?Jayden Sittler clearly gets a kick

out of stopping pucks in his hometown, whether it be with the Kootenay Ice or, as is the current case, the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

The 18-year-old Red Deer product beat the Rebels early last season after being recalled by the Ice as an emer-gency replacement, and on Saturday posted his second consecutive WHL win over Red Deer as a member of the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Sittler ran his Centrium all-time record to 3-0, mak-ing 30 regulation-time saves in a 3-2 shootout triumph before a recorded crowd of 5,887.

“I love playing here,” he said. “I feel really comfortable here, really calm. When the crowd says my name at the very beginning of the game, it gets me going. I definitely love playing here and especially winning here. That’s my favourite part of it.

“I want to prove myself in front of the home crowd and I think I’ve done that so far. It was a good game all around tonight. The guys played great in front of me and we found a way to get it done in a shootout.”

Sittler was beaten by Connor Gay as the Rebels’ first man up in the shoot-out, then denied Haydn Fleury, Adam Musil, Scott Feser and Presten Ko-peck. Rebels goaltender Rylan Toth surrendered a goal to the ‘Canes first shooter, Jamal Watson, then foiled Mike Winther, Georgio Estephan and Tyler Wong before Kord Pankewicz connected to end the contest.

The setback dropped the Rebels’ record to 5-10 in extra-time games this season and GM/head coach Brent Sut-ter suggested there’s a reason for that.

“I didn’t think we were very good at all in the first period,” he said. “I end-ed up having to sit half our team in the first period because they were chasing the game and they weren’t involved.

“We played better in the second and third and we had our chances in over-time. Again, you get into a shootout and you never know what’s going to happen. We don’t have success in shoo-touts and a lot of it has to do with the fact that most games, if you go back

and see the games where we were in shootouts, we didn’t play a full game. The hockey gods don’t give you that ex-tra point when it’s like that a majority of the time. Just like when you take a bad penalty . . . if you do that you usu-ally get scored against.”

The Rebels certainly didn’t turn in a solid 65-minute performance Saturday, despite holding a 32-30 edge in shots.

The hosts started slow, but opened the scoring at 11:07 of the first period when rookie Reese Johnson potted his first ever WHL goal, depositing a re-bound from the edge of the crease. Trochu native Mike Winther pulled the visitors even four minutes later, connecting with a shot from along the goal line.

Musil tipped a power-play point shot by Gay past Sittler early in the sec-ond period to restore the Rebels’ lead, but the ‘Canes got back on even terms once again when Wong worked his way across the low slot and beat Toth with a wide move at 13:05 of the frame.

The ‘Canes outshot their hosts 10-8 in a scoreless third period and were outshot 3-0 in the five-minute overtime stanza. Red Deer picked up a single point one night after posting a 5-3 home-ice win over the Prince Albert Raiders, but Sutter was far from satis-fied.

I don’t think the players should be happy with getting three out of four points this weekend,” he said. “We start playoffs in about a month and we

need to get a lot more from some guys. I wasn’t impressed at all with a couple of our 20-year-olds tonight, they have to be a lot better for us. They have the ability to be better, but they have to be willing to throw themselves into it. And that’s not just a couple of guys, you can go down a whole list of guys.”

The Rebels were minus the servic-es of defenceman Colton Bobyk and forwards Conner Bleackley and Evan Polei, all out with injuries, as well as rookie forward Jeff de Wit, who was a healthy scratch. But Sutter wasn’t making alibis, and instead stressed the need for the healthy players to contrib-ute more.

Queens cap second straight ACAC titleBY DANNY RODE

SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Queens 3 Wolves 0OLDS – Midway through the first

set of the Alberta Colleges Women’s Volleyball League championship fi-nal against the Grande Prairie College Wolves it would have been easy for the RDC Queens to shrug their shoulders and start looking toward the rest of the match.

But they aren’t built that way.The Queens have the pedigree of

a champion and despite trailing 11-1 and 15-6 they relied on their maturity and experience to fight back and win the opening set 25-23. They once again fell behind in the second set 21-15, but won 25-22, then took the third set 25-18 to wrap up their second straight ACAC title.

“I think we were second-guessing ourselves a bit in that first set,” said Queens third-year setter and champi-onship MVP Bronwyn Hawkes. “We knew what we could do, but didn’t know that much about them. We didn’t know if they would come out strong or start poorly. When they started quickly we weren’t ready.”

Slowly but surely the Queens chipped away at the lead and pulled even at 20-20 thanks to the strong serv-ing of Marisa Neufeld, who came off the bench with the score 16-20. By the time she left the Queens it was 21-21.

“We stayed calm and relaxed and everything came together,” said

Hawkes.“I honestly thought that first set was

over right away,” said Queens head coach Talbot Walton. “I doubted if we could fix the momentum GP had created. Thankfully the gap was early enough in the set we were able to chip away and once we caught them and when it got past 22 I knew we would

be OK. We didn’t flinch and were solid when we needed to be solid and were good at the end.”

Queens outstanding libero, Maddi Quinn, is one of four starters off last year’s national championship team, which defeated Grande Prairie in both the Alberta and Canadian finals.

“I think because we were up against

them again we were a bit nervous in that aspect, but overall we stayed calm and once we caught up we knew we could do it,” she said. “They do have younger team and we expected them to make some mistakes.”

A lot of those mistakes came in the second set.

“I thought they gave the second set to us,” said Hawkes.

The Queens managed just five kills, three stuff blocks and an ace in the second set, which saw the Wolves make a number of hitting mistakes.

“Talbot always says the team that wants it more won’t make as many mis-takes and we didn’t make those mis-takes,” added Hawkes.

“I think our experience showed … it showed all year,” said Walton. “We were quiet on the floor, and just went about doing our business. We weren’t emotional when we got behind and stayed with it.

“Kids like Megan (Schmidt) were outstanding. As a coach I won’t forget those kinds of performances.”

Schmidt, who was named player of the match in the final, was brilliant. She was credited with eight kills, but had 10, to go with two stuff blocks and got her hands on a number of other hits.

The Queens gave up size in the mid-dle, but used their quickness and ex-perience to their advantage.

Gushue, Nichols reunite for another run at a Canadian titleBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Brad Gushue’s pursuit of his first Canadian men’s curling title on his 12th attempt strengthened with the return of Mark Nichols.

The Newfoundland and Labrador skip and vice appear to have regained the relationship that made them Olym-pic gold medallists, as well as peren-nial Brier contenders prior to a split almost four years ago.

“The chemistry and how we work together and grind out games, it’s been great,” Gushue said. “Having a guy that’s been through the battles I’ve been through, it’s nice to have some-one you can talk to or rely on in the middle of a key situation.”

Gushue and Brad Jacobs of North-ern Ontario opened the Tim Hortons Brier with three straight wins to top the standings Sunday. Ontario’s Mark Kean, Saskatchewan’s Steve Laycock and Prince Edward Island’s Adam Casey were tied at 2-1.

The six teams at 1-2 were B.C.’s Jim Cotter, New Brunswick’s Jeremy Mallais, Alberta’s Kevin Koe, Team Canada’s John Morris, Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard and Manitoba’s Reid Carruthers. Jamie Koe of Northwest Territories was 0-3.

The top four teams advance to play-offs and the winner will be crowned Sunday.

During the first 13 years Nichols threw third stones for Gushue, they won gold in Turin, Italy, in 2006 with Russ Howard and Jamie Korab. They made the Brier playoffs six of eight years and lost in the final in 2007.

When Nichols relocated to Winni-peg and joined Jeff Stoughton’s rink following the 2011-12 season, it created a significant void for Gushue.

His round-robin winning percentage at the Brier with Nichols was .651 com-pared to .545 the last three years when his teams made the playoffs once.

Newfoundland and Labrador has a smaller pool of curlers than the pow-erhouse provinces. Gushue recruits

outside his borders. Geography makes recruiting and retaining those players challenging, so Gushue has a reputa-tion for cycling through teammates.

Expecting their first child last year, Nichols and his wife Colette returned to Newfoundland to be closer to their families.

“He gave me a call, but I definitely was going to reach out to him,” Gushue said. “It was a pretty mutual and easy decision.”

It meant jettisoning second Adam Casey, now P.E.I.’s skip, and bumping Brett Gallant from vice to second.

“Having the opportunity to bring Mark back I felt was going to make our team better,” Gushue said. “It was a decision that was easy but hard to let Adam know he wasn’t going to be play-ing with us this year.”

Results followed the reunification of Gushue, 34, and Nichols, 35. The team ranks second on the World Curl-ing Tour’s money list this season with a record of 42-18. They’ve won two Grand Slams this winter — the National and

the Masters.“It was pretty seamless to move

back into this position and come onto the team,” Nichols said. “It’s been a great year.

“There’s been times when we don’t feel like we’re playing as well as we could, but we’re finding ways to win, which is something our teams in the past didn’t quite do.”

Gushue feels Nichols’ experience is an asset when it comes to communicat-ing with his front end. Gallant is 25 and lead Geoff Walker is 29.

“Down at the other end, he can talk to them and keep them settled in and calm in big situations in a game,” Gushue said. “Having that experience back that we’ve lacked the last couple of years, sometimes it felt pretty lonely out there.”

Whether Gushue can follow up the Olympic gold he won at 26 with a Cana-dian title is now a constant subplot at the Brier.

REBELS: Urgency“We just need more from some indi-

viduals, that’s the bottom line,” he stat-ed. “If we’re going to have success and we want to play late into the spring, we have to get more from some guys . . . there has to be more urgency in our game and more drive.

“At this time of the year you have to crank yourself up to another level, this is when you get yourselves ready for the playoffs. We’ve been really strug-gling the last little while and it comes down to how bad do they want to play and how bad do they want to play in the spring.”

Reese Johnson, the younger brother of third-year Rebels veteran Wyatt, looked right at home while competing in his third WHL game.

“That’s just an example . . . he’s been one of our better forwards the last two games,” said Sutter. “He’s a 16-year-old that’s what’s scary about it, scary in the sense that as an older player you should almost be embar-rassed because a 16-year-old comes in from triple A midget and is one of your better players. And he’s not going to come out of the lineup, that’s just the way it is. There will be other guys who will be starting to come out if they aren’t doing what’s asked of them.”

Sutter continued to challenge his players while asking for a full commit-ment from each one of them over the remaining 10 regular-season games and into the playoffs.

“We need to have everyone dialed in and if we don’t have that we strug-gle,” he said. “Tonight is an example. You can’t play 35 or 40 minutes and expect to win a game. We’re not con-sistent with getting that 60 minutes we

need.“I can live with mistakes, I have no

problem with mistakes, but they have to be honest ones and tonight in the first period we had an abundance of dishonest mistakes. We can’t play that way. Again, at some point in time your leadership group has to take that and there’s a couple or three guys who are trying. But we need to have everyone doing it and it can’t always come from the coaching staff, that doesn’t always work. It has to come from within the group.”

The Rebels head out Tuesday on a three-game road trip that will start that night in Medicine Hat and will include stops in Swift Current and Cranbrook on Wednesday and Friday. Red Deer’s next home game is Saturday versus the Regina Pats.

RDC: Fearless“Talbot had a game plan in which

we had to be fearless against their big middles,” said Schmidt. “We couldn’t worry about how big they are. We had to cut the ball against them and not be scarred.

“The game plan is to be consistent and never flinch no matter how far we’re behind or ahead. Be consistent and don’t focus on the score. Keep passing and serving well and we did that.”

Walton agreed.“We’re built for speed in the middle

and we didn’t ask them to make all the blocks, but be there and score. Megan did that today. She must have hit 80 per cent. She was phenomenal. “

Hawkes wasn’t afraid to run her of-fence out of the middle.

“Some teams here were scarred to challenge them, but we showed we’re not those teams.”

Alex Donaghy also had a strong game in the middle with five kills, three stuff blocks and five digs. Leah Koot added five kills, and six digs and Miranda Dawe three kills and three digs despite giving way to Laurent Mar-shall for much of the first two sets.

Marshall, Neufeld, Kelsey Ewash-kiw and Kendra Sorensen all came in off the bench to play a significant role.

“We talked about it earlier today … talked about using some of those girls off the bench to give us a differ-ent look, especially on the serve,” said Walton. “The other team doesn’t know what to expect.”

Walton had high praise for the play-ers off the bench.

“It says something about our players who stand there for two sets and then come in and play a role.”

The Queens celebrated just like they did a year ago.

“Last year, which was my second with the team, I was there for fun,” said Hawkes. “This year I wanted to win. They say the first is more exciting than the second, but for me they’re to-tally the same.”

This year’s edition of the Queens had a slightly different look after los-ing Brooke Sutter, Amber Adolf, Kar-issa Kuhr and Shelby Bromall.

“But we knew we had a strong core back and the leadership was there,” said Walton, whose team was ranked No. 1 in Canada all season. “We didn’t

let the ranking bother us. This group wanted to make sure they peaked at the right time. I’m not sure if this was our best volleyball, but it’s darn close.”

The Queens, and the Wolves, will compete in the nationals, March 12-14 in Longueuil, Que.

Dawe, Quinn and Hawkes were named to the tournament all-star team along with Naomi Jardine and Jamie Craig of Olds, Samantha Zacharias of Briercrest and Jordan Drezet and Amy Norman of Grande Prairie.

Olds won the bronze with a 15-25, 27-25, 25-19, 18-25, 15-10 win over BBC. SAIT stopped Lakeland 3-1 for fifth place.

BRIER: Ability“I really feel that this team, if it

plays anywhere close to our ability we’ll be there come Sunday,” Gushue said.

Gushue scored wins of 8-5 win over Northwest Territories and 9-7 over Team Canada, while Jacobs downed B.C. 7-5 and Alberta 9-5 on Sunday. Jacobs won both Canadian and world titles in 2013 before winning Olympic gold in 2014.

Seller’s market for NHL trade deadline


General managers, count your draft picks. In this trade market, they’re valuable currency.

In the days leading up to Monday’s 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline, draft picks have been moving at a fast and furious pace. It’s a seller’s market and much more selling could be coming before the clock runs out.

Already the Toronto Maple Leafs, Carolina Hurricanes and Arizona Coy-otes have gotten first-round picks for Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli, An-drej Sekera and Antonie Vermette, and older players like Kimmo Timonen and Jaromir Jagr have fetched second-rounders and more.

Philadelphia Flyers general manag-er Ron Hextall didn’t want to say he’s licking his chops about what else he could get in other deals after acquiring second- and fourth-round picks from Chicago for the 39-year-old Timonen, who hasn’t played this season.

“In the end they may have under-paid by a long shot for this deal,” Hextall said on a conference call Fri-day night. “If Kimmo had played all

year and we had moved him right now, this wouldn’t have been the return. It would’ve been, I believe, far greater than this.”

Considering that and the recent price for contenders to get deals done, the first-year GM is probably right. Jeff Petry of the Edmonton Oilers and Zbynek Michalek of the Coyotes are the top pending-unrestricted-free-agent defencemen available, and the Leafs might even be able to get something for Korbinian Holzer.

If Washington GM Brian McLellan wanted to deal pending UFA Mike Green, he might be able to land one heck of a haul. But with the Capitals a contender to come out of the East, they’re likely better suited to hold on to him and make a run, and acquir-ing Curtis Glencross from the Calgary Flames on Sunday for 2015 second- and third-round picks helps that cause.

The Capitals are far from the only team that believes it can go deep in the playoffs, and a wide-open East could set the table for an interesting pre-deadline frenzy. The banged-up Boston Bruins would love to add someone as centre David Krejci is out with a knee injury, and the Montreal Canadiens

could use some depth on a team that has been carried largely to first place in the Atlantic Division by goaltender Carey Price.

On Sunday the New York Rangers acquired Keith Yandle from the Coy-otes in a huge trade that sent Canadian world-junior star Anthony Duclair, a 2015 second-round pick, conditional 2016 first and John Moore to Arizo-na for the veteran defenceman, Chris Summers and a 2016 fourth.

Out West, the Blackhawks gave up a handful of picks to get Vermette from Arizona and Timonen from Philadel-phia, using the salary-cap space cre-ated by the potentially devastating in-jury to star winger Patrick Kane. Add-ing them to the mix of buyers made the market even more competitive in the past week.

Enter teams like the Coyotes and Maple Leafs, with more hope of land-ing Connor McDavid in the draft than a playoff spot and assets to sell off. Leafs GM Dave Nonis said he wasn’t just go-ing to “fire-sale people out,” but he’s listening.

“We need to get value,” Nonis said. “I know from talking to other teams that they covet some of the players

we have. If there are trades that make sense for us, we’re going to do it.”

The Leafs have already made every logical trade they had to, unloading Franson, Santorelli and Daniel Win-nik, and an unconventional one by sending David Clarkson to Columbus for injured winger Nathan Horton. But Holzer and veteran centre Olli Joki-nen will be free agents this summer, and anyone from goaltenders Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer to captain Dion Phaneuf to forwards Phil Kessel, Tyler Bozak and Joffrey Lupul could be on the move.

“They could trade everyone or any-one,” Bozak said Thursday night. “We expected things to happen. With a lot of guys who are UFAs, those are guys that usually end up getting traded.”

Teams that want rentals could look at Buffalo Sabres winger Chris Stewart or goaltender Michal Neuvirth, Dallas Stars centre Shawn Horcoff or New Jersey Devils forwards Scott Gomez and Michael Ryder. There’s plenty of uncertainty around the NHL, and while it has been heightened in the Leafs’ room, players fully understand why.

“We put ourselves in this situation,”

LOTS OF MOVES MADE SUNDAY BUT MANY MORE EXPECTED TO MADE TODAY AT DEADLINE

Queens down Trojans to advance to ACAC women’s hockey finals

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

Queens 2 Trojans 0CALGARY — The Red Deer College

Queens punched their ticket to the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference women’s hockey championship with a sweep over the SAIT Trojans.

They beat the Trojans 2-0 on Satur-day at SAIT Arena to take the best-of-three semifinal in two games.

They now move on to play the No. 1 seeded NAIT Ooks in the best-of-five final starting on Friday.

“Had a bit of a slow start, but re-mained patient and slowly took over in the third. We stuck with the process and found a way to get the job done again,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz in an email. “We have a tough task ahead of us but are confident that we can play at even a higher level to try and bring it home. So proud of this team and what they have accom-plished.”

Game 2 remained deadlocked into the third period when Megan Jones fi-nal broke through at 10:49. The Queens didn’t have to wait much longer for the insurance as Kaley McMurtry scored 41 seconds later to give the Queens a two-goal lead.

Summer Roberts stopped all 27 shots she faced for the shutout in her first playoff appearance.

Cheynne Eagle stopped 33 of the 35 shots fired her way in the SAIT net.

RDC (13-7-4) won the season series with the Ooks, going 4-2-2, however,

due to NAIT (18-3-3) having the better overall record they have home ice ad-vantage for the final. Game 2 is Satur-day at the Red Deer Arena with Game 3 in Edmonton on March 13. If needed Game 4 is March 14 in Red Deer with Game 5 in Edmonton. No times have been announced yet.

● The RDC Kings hockey team (15-13-0-3) swept their three-game week-end series with the Portage College Voyageurs (1-29-0-2) in dominant fash-ion.

After winning 10-3 in Penhold on Friday, RDC beat Portage 8-5 on Satur-day and 7-3 on Sunday in Lac La Biche.

There were eight different goal scor-ers for the Kings on Friday with Joel Topping, Blair Mulder, Doug Jones, Ryan Hoult, Tanner Butler, Jordan McTaggart, Mike Marianchuk and Ri-ley Point all getting in on the action. Mike Salmon made 31 saves on 36 shots for the win.

On Sunday, Topping, Point and Con-nor Patchett all scored twice while Jones added a single goal and Kraymer Barnstable stopped 34 of 37 shots for the win.

The Kings wrap up their regu-lar season on Tuesday in Edmonton against the MacEwan University Grif-fins (20-7-1-3).

If they win, they leap frog over the Keyano College Huskies (14-12-2-4) into fifth place and will play the University of Alberta-Augustana Vikings (19-10-1-2)in the first round of the playoffs. If they lose, they will play the Griffins in the first round.

The Bentley Generals and Innisfail Eagles are both one win away from ad-vancing to the provincial senior AAA final.

AJ Gale fired three goals for the Generals, who defeated the host Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs 5-2 Saturday to grab a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven semifinal. Kyle Sheen also scored for the visitors, while the Chiefs, who led 2-1 after one period and trailed 4-2 after 40 minutes, got goals from Trevor Kelly and Richard Kelly.

Travis Yonkman turned aside 25 shots in the Bentley net. David Tet-rault made 34 saves for the hosts.

The Chiefs ensured there would be a fifth game in the series with a 5-2 win Friday at Eckville.

Tanner Cochrane, Jamie Marshall, Brant Middleton, Brad Sinclair and Doug Auchenberg (empty net) scored for the visitors. Gale and Torrie Dyck replied for the Generals.

Tetrault made 24 saves as the win-ning netminder, while Dustin Butler looked at 23 shots in the Bentley goal.

Game 5 will be played Friday at Eck-ville, with an 8:30 p.m. start.

● The Eagles downed the visiting Okotoks Drillers 5-4 and 3-0 Saturday and Sunday to snare a 3-1 lead in the other best-of-seven provincial semifi-nal.

Steven Stanford blocked all 21 shots he faced for the Eagles in Sunday’s victory. Alex Curran sniped two goals for the winners, while Kyle Lapenskie also connected.

Drillers netminder Dan Dunn turned aside 42 shots.

On Saturday, the Drillers fired three unanswered third-period goals but fell just short. Justin Cox, with two goals, Chad Ziegler, Brendan Baumgartner and Jeff Archibald scored for the Ea-gles, with the Drillers getting goals from Alex Pronchuk, Mike Kneeland, Tanner House and Clint Pettapiece.

Stanford made 36 saves for the win. Dunn stopped 35 shots at the other end.

The fifth game of the series will be played Saturday at Okotoks.

SENIOR MEN’S AAA HOCKEY

The New York Rangers acquired a big piece in their push for another deep playoff run, picking up All-Star defenceman Keith Yandle in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday.

The 28-year-old Yandle has been one of the NHL’s best offensive-mind-ed defencemen, a four-time All-Star who has led the Coyotes in scoring the past three seasons. He has 41 points in 63 games this season and has been the

anchor of Arizona’s power play unit.New York also received defence-

man Chris Summers and a 2016 fourth-round pick for defenceman John Moore, top prospect Anthony Duclair, a conditional first-round draft pick in 2016 and a second-rounder this year.

The Rangers made two more deals Sunday ahead of the trade deadline, acquiring forward Carl Klingberg from the Winnipeg Jets for forward Lee Stempniak, and picking up forward James Sheppard from the San Joe Sharks for a fourth-round pick in 2016.

NHL TRADE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAMPTON, Ga. — Likely locking up a run at his record-tying seventh cham-pionship before it even turns to spring, Jimmie Johnson pulled away after the final restart with 13 laps to go Sunday, winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Johnson started near the back after failing to get in a qualifying run be-cause of inspection issues.

But the No. 48 Chevrolet was the fastest car on the track at the end of the weekend, cruising across the finish line a comfortable 1.803 seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick.

It was the 71st victory of Johnson’s career, and his fourth at the 1.54-mile trioval south of Atlanta. It also gives him an almost-certain spot in the sea-

son-ending Chase, going for a title that would tie him with Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

“It’s pretty much a lock,” Johnson said. “That takes a ton of pressure off.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, fol-lowed by Daytona 500 winner Joey Lo-gano, who started from the pole and led 84 laps early in the race.

After a big crash on lap 305 brought out the red flag for 9 minutes to clean up the mess, Johnson found himself at the front of the pack. When the green flag waved, he got a good jump off the line, fended off Hendrick Motorsports teammate Earnhardt going down the backstretch, and was firmly in control by the time the cars came back around in front of the stands.

There was no catching him from there.

Johnson was among four former

champions, along with teammate Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth, who never got on the track during qualifying.

Thirteen cars were stuck in the ga-rage after failing to pass inspection, a situation that Gordon called “embar-rassing” for the sport.

Harvick, who qualified on the out-side of the front row, also was sent to the back of the field after blowing an engine during Saturday’s practice. He quickly worked his way through slower cars, got to the front and dominated long stretches of the race, leading a race-high 116 laps.

Rousey makes quick work of Zingano


LOS ANGELES — Ronda Rousey has stopped every opponent she has faced in her meteoric mixed martial arts career, so a first-round victory is no shock for the UFC’s bantamweight champion.

Except nobody had finished a UFC title fight this quickly, and hardly any-one had ever done it with so much flair.

Rousey stopped Cat Zingano with an acrobatic armbar after just 14 seconds, dramatically defending her 135-pound title at UFC 184 on Saturday night.

Rousey’s fifth title defence before the sellout Staples Center crowd could process what it just witnessed. Those 14 seconds were action-packed, and Rousey delivered again.

“There’s very few situations where a fight goes 14 seconds and the crowd is cheering and going crazy and looking at each other with their mouths open,” UFC President Dana White said.

Rousey (11-0) earned the most im-pressive victory of her career with jaw-dropping speed, taking out the previously unbeaten Zingano with her signature armlock from an unlikely position.

Zingano (9-1) dropped Rousey on her head with a flying charge at the open-ing bell, but the champ used her peer-less judo skills to flip Zingano onto her back. Rousey scampered into position to wrench Zingano’s arm grotesquely — and just like that, the challenger tapped out.

Rousey wasn’t surprised by the opening charge: She suspected Zinga-no might try to catch her unprepared. Rousey didn’t expect to get turned up-

side-down, but when it happened, the Olympic medal-winning judoka relied on instinct.

“I made that up on the fly, to be honest,” Rousey said. “But it was kind of funny: We were going toward the ground, and I kind of reverted back to judo mode and was thinking, ’Don’t touch your back. It’s a point.’ That’s where the acrobatic thing came from, was thinking about not touching your back in judo.

Nobody in the women’s sport can touch Rousey, the most dominant champion in MMA.

Rousey’s last three fights have last-ed a total of 96 seconds, including two bouts against previously unbeaten op-ponents. Her 14-second finish was a record for any UFC title bout, but she thought it only went to plan.

“That’s not usually how you land an armbar at that angle, but it works,” Rousey said.

Champion boxer Holly Holm made her much-hyped UFC debut with a split-decision victory over Raquel Pen-nington in UFC 184’s penultimate bout as the world’s dominant mixed martial arts promotion ended a two-year ab-sence from Southern California, the home base of Rousey and numerous fighters.

But the night was a showcase for the star power of Rousey, who has be-come one of the UFC’s most prominent fighters just two years after the promo-tion added women’s bouts. Zingano was considered the most daunting ac-tive threat to Rousey’s reign, but was obliterated.

Zingano chose the dubious strategy of charging and grabbing onto Rousey, whose judo skills make her practically unbeatable in a clinch.

“She’s really good ... but that wouldn’t happen again,” Zingano said. “It was a knee and then a throw and then a scramble, and then she was wrapped around my arm. I got caught. I was ready to do a million different things. I planned on getting in a fist-fight tonight.”

For the first time in UFC history, two women’s fights headlined a pay-per-view event. Although partly cre-ated by necessity when middleweight champion Chris Weidman was injured, that spotlight is the latest affirmation for women’s MMA and Rousey — a movie star, a model and a celebrity who can sell out a large arena in her

hometown.The 33-year-old Holm (8-0) ended

an 11-year pro boxing career in 2013 to concentrate on MMA. Although she did enough to win her UFC debut against the scrappy, undersized Pennington (5-6), Holm and White both said she needs a few more UFC fights before she can challenge for Rousey’s belt.

Southern California fighters Tony Ferguson and Alan Jouban kicked off the pay-per-view card with dynamic first-round stoppage victories. Fergu-son has won five straight bouts, while Jouban bounced back from a debat-able loss with an impressive striking performance.

RETAINS TITLE AFTER RECORD-SETTING 14 SECOND SUBMISSION AT UFC 184

Poulter, Casey tied facing a Monday sprint to the title at Honda Classic


PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Ian Poulter lost command of the Honda Classic with two swings on consecutive tee shots in a wild final hour Sunday. He still had a share of the lead with Paul Casey heading into a sprint-to-the-finish at soggy PGA National.

Poulter was practically flawless in the rain-delayed third round Sunday morning for a 4-under 66 that gave him a three-shot lead over Patrick Reed (70) and Padraig Harrington (71). It was the first time Poulter has had a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour.

The third round was washed out Saturday because of nearly 5 inches of rain that toppled a few trees, flooded bunkers and even created mounds of air bubbles on one green. After the third round ended Sunday, the play-ers went right back out to play as many holes of the final round as the sun would allow.

Poulter kept his distance until a shank on the par-3 fifth hole, which has water guarding the left side of the green. His ball went so far right that it found water on the sixth hole, leading to double bogey.

On his next tee shot, Poulter pulled it into the water and had to two-putt from 65 feet to escape with bogey. Just like that, his lead was gone. And then he got it back on the par-3 seventh with a tee shot into 3 feet for birdie, just as Casey was polishing off a 31 on the

front nine to join him at 7-under par.The final round was suspended by

darkness with Poulter on the eighth tee and Casey in the left rough on No. 10.

Not to be forgotten was Reed. He was the first to catch Poulter with a three-shot swing on the fifth hole. Reed holed a 35-foot birdie putt from a val-ley to the right of the fifth green, and he had the outright lead when Poulter made his bogey on No. 6. But on the seventh, as Poulter was making his birdie, Reed took bogey from the left rough to fall one shot behind.

Still very much in the mix was Phil Mickelson, who opened with a pair of birdies — one of them a two-putt from 8 feet on the par-5 third — only to give one back with a three-putt bogey at No. 6. Mickelson was at 4 under with Jeff Overton, Brendan Steele, Russell Knox and Daniel Berger, the rookie from West Palm Beach whose final shot Sun-day was a chip-in for birdie on No. 11.

Harrington, who finished his third round by saving par after a second shot into the water on the par-5 18th, fell back by missing a 4-foot par putt and then taking a double bogey on the sixth hole. He was at 3 under.

The real stars at PGA National on Sunday were the grounds crew mem-bers. They worked through the night and used 12 pumps to get the water off the course and rebuild the bunkers. The course was filled with so much wa-ter that superintendent Lukus Harvey said the crew had to chase an alligator out of three fairway bunkers to clear out the water, and a few water mocca-sins became real-life hazards.

Blue Jays sign Viciedo to fill hole in outfield


DUNEDIN, Fla. — Taking another flyer, the Blue Jays signed outfielder Dayan Viciedo to a minor-league con-tract Sunday.

The 25-year-old Cuban, released by the White Sox in early February, will be given a chance to show he belongs somewhere on the depth chart.

“He’s got some power, a right-hand-ed bat,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. “Has played some third (base) in his career, played some first. Certainly played the outfield and we’ll just take a look at him for the month of March and see what we have.”

On Thursday, the Jays signed for-mer Cy Young Award-winner Johan Santana to another minor-league deal. Santana, sidelined by shoulder and Achilles injuries, last threw in the ma-jors in 2012.

Both players would get a pro-rated US$2.5-million, one-year deal if they make the team, with Santana also get-ting performance bonuses. The minor league rate is $20,000 a month.

“Any minor-league deal, there’s no downside to it,” Anthopoulos said. “You always take chances on those.”

Viciedo signed a $10-million, four-year deal with the White Sox in De-cember 2008. He settled on a one-year $4.4-million contract in arbitration earlier this year but was cut loose with Chicago looking to former Jay Melky Cabrera in left field.

The five-foot-11, 240-pound Cuban batted .231 last season with 21 home runs and 58 RBIs. He had 122 strike-outs and 32 walks in 523 at-bats and is not known for his outfield defence.

Viciedo gives the Jays another op-tion in left field with Michael Saun-ders out for five to six weeks after un-dergoing surgery to remove his me-niscus. But given Saunders’ expected early return date, Viciedo may have a better shot of sticking elsewhere, with Anthopoulos saying first base/DH is “the most wide open spot in terms of competition.”

The Jays have talked of giving Ed-win Encarnacion, who plays both posi-tions, more time at designated hitter to save his body. Justin Smoak, Daric Barton and Matt Hague are other first base options.

Viciedo hit well against left-handers earlier in his career (.350 against left-handers and .225 against right-handers in 2012) but his splits have narrowed since. He hit .221 against lefties and .235 against righties last season

Viciedo is scheduled to have a medi-cal Monday and take the field Tuesday.

“If he makes the team better, maybe there’s a spot for him,” said manager John Gibbons. “But he’s got to play well.”

Added Anthopoulos: “I think the big thing is we want to see how he hits.”

Viciedo showed his bat last June, slamming a Dustin McGowan pitch into the stands for a three-run homer that helped the visiting White Sox to a 4-3 comeback win over the Jays.

“Probably my worst move of the year,” Gibbons joked.

“He’s got big-time power,” he added. “Really as much as anybody.”

Over the last three seasons, Viciedo has 16 hits including four home runs in 42 at-bats at the Rogers Centre. He has hit .313 against the Jays over that period.

Kings have to settle for silver

BY JOSH ALDRICHADVOCATE STAFF

Vikings 3 Kings 2CAMROSE — Tim Finnigan has nev-

er looked so uncomfortable.The Red Deer College Kings all-

Canadian power looked as if he was having his toe-nails extracted one-by-one with each gold medal that was put around a University of Alberta-Au-gustana Vikings neck.

Finnigan and the rest of the Kings were in the unfamiliar position of watching another team celebrate the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s volleyball championship after falling 3-2 (24-26, 19-25, 25-20, 25-22, 15-13) to the hosts on Saturday.

The one bright side is for Finnigan is his career is not over yet, RDC still advanced to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association Championships on a wild card berth.

“It was annoying, I thought we de-served it, I thought we were the better team,” said the fifth year power. “But they played good, they played strong, their crowd was strong for them. I was just irritated and annoyed, I don’t like to be stuck there to watch someone else take my gold medal and my ban-ner.”

For the Vikings, the history is not lost on them. This is just their fifth sea-son in the ACAC and they did not just beat the defending national champi-ons — who have 11 CCAA titles to their name — they stopped the Kings from winning their third straight provincial banner and 17th overall.

This was a major learning experi-ence for the Vikings and they know they will have to play catch up once again in two weeks in Charlottetown, P.E.I., March 11-14.

“This whole year has been a learn-ing process, but it’s been one of those years where you learn as you go,” said Vikings head coach Stephen Leggitt. “They’ve had some big wins and they had a couple of losses where you learn from that ... It was fun. For either team to come in tonight and win 3-0 would have been a shame. To fight like that? I know everybody in this province looks up to (the Kings), the history there, you just respect them. I like that team.”

The ACAC gold medal game was a missed opportunity for the Kings, who were coming off perhaps their best

match of the season, a 3-0 (25-22, 25-16, 25-12) win over the NAIT Ooks in the semifinal on Friday. But lapses in concentration in the second and fourth sets cost them.

After eeking out a back-and-forth opening set win, RDC lost their focus in the second set, falling behind 6-1 early and never recovering.

The Kings grabbed the momentum again in the third set but once again lost their edge in the fourth set as the capacity crowd grew in volume.

Already trailing 18-11 in the fourth frame, Finnigan picked up a red card from the ref, giving the Vikings a free point.

When Kings head coach Aaron Schulha asked for an explanation, he was given another red card, boosting the Augustana lead to 20-11, the Vi-kings got one pore point before RDC forced a side out and started to chip away at the lead. With ACAC player of the year Luke Brisbane serving and Finnigan taking over on the floor, the Kings got the score back to 23-21, but were not able to complete the full comeback.

Still they had the momentum head-ing into the final set and built a 5-1 lead. But the Vikings continued to feed off the crowd and closed the gap to 8-6 and a switch of sides.

The Kings was unable to stop the tidal wave and Augustana pushed on to the 15-13 win as the fans rushed the court.

“They were just able to play loose and we started to tighten up when they started to chip away,” said Schulha. “They’re a good team and they had the crowd behind them. At 5-1 in any game it’s not over and I felt our guys just let off the gas a little bit.”

Finnigan finished the day with 27 kills, five digs and four blocked shots and was named a tournament all-star and the Kings player of the game for the final. Brisbane had two kills, 45 assists and 15 digs and Regan Fathers had 15 kills, six digs and one block.

Tournament MVP Luke Ryan had 20 kills and eight digs for Augustana and finals player of the game Cole Mc-Cartney had 13 kills, nine digs and four blocks.

The Kings had their fair share of in experience on the floor, including three freshmen in the starting lineup, and they are treating it as something to learn from as they head to nationals.

“Even though it sucks right now, it was a good experience for every-one and I think in the long run, in two weeks we’ll be a lot better as a result of what happened tonight,” said Bris-bane, who was named a tournament all-star.

With the CCAA championships two weeks away it will give the Finnigan time to get healthy — he has played

through quad injuries all season and had a bout with pink eye on the week-end — and for the Kings to regroup.

“There’s no better motivator than this,” said Finnigan. “Obviously I al-ready have a national banner, but this is my last year, I don’t want to go out like that, I don’t want to ever feel like that again, it’s a big motivator.”

LOSE IN ACAC VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL BUT ADVANCE TO NATIONAL

CHAMPIONSHIP ON WILD-CARD BERTH

Kocher lands on podium at IBU event in

CanmoreCANMORE — Red Deer biathlete

Zina Kocher blazed through the field en route to a silver-medal finish in the women’s sprint event of the IBU Cup 7 competition during the weekend.

Kocher, 32, shot 9/10 and clocked a time of 20:16.5 around the 7.5 km track to grab her first international podium finish since 2007.

“It feels amazing. I have tears. I’ve had to work all year to finally get this, and I finally put it all together,” Koch-er said.

Karoline Horchler of Germany won her second straight gold medal in Can-more, shooting clean and clocking a time of 19:58.7.

Marine Bolliet of France finished third.

Struggling through the toughest year of her biathlon career, where the Red Deer native was left off of Cana-da’s world cup and world champion-ship team, Kocher made a statement with the best result of her season. Dis-appointed with Saturday’s race, where she missed four targets and finished 19th, she wanted to perform in front of her friends and family.

“There is definitely a huge fire in-side of me that says ‘get it together for God’s sake,’ ” Kocher said.

“Knowing the accomplishments I’ve had in the past helped me. I really just wanted to enjoy the fact I’m racing at home.”

Coach Richard Boruta spoke briefly with Kocher before Sunday’s race, and asked her to break it down into three intervals. The strategy worked remark-ably well.

Kocher broke onto the Canadian scene as a junior in 2001, and won her first European Cup race in 2003. The three-time Olympian has been a staple on the Canadian scene for 15 years, and seen the program change substan-tially in that time.

“It was so exciting for me as an old-er athlete finishing my career to see all these young athletes coming up that are so strong,” said Kocher. “I didn’t have that when I started. Today was extra special to have so many of my former teammates, friends and fam-ily around. Tonight will be a good cel-ebration.”

Grizzlys 4 Thunder 3OLDS — The Olds Grizzlys jumped

out to a 3-0 first-period lead, then hung on for a 4-3 win over the Drayton Val-ley Thunder in their final Alberta Ju-nior Hockey League regular-season game Saturday.

Chris Gerrie, BJ Duffin (power play) and Ty Mappin notched first-period

goal for the Grizzlys, who got a second-period man-advantage marker from Kirk Johnson before giving up unan-swered goals to the Thunder’s Hayden Dawes and Trevor Poirier (shot-hand-ed) in the final frame. Brayden Harris also tallied for the visitors in front of 647 fans at the Sportsplex.

The Grizzlys, who open a best-of-five

South Division quarter-final Wednes-day against the host Drumheller Drag-ons, got a 34-save performance from Jesse Gordichuk. Mark Olivier Daigles stopped 20 shots for the Thunder.

The Grizzlys and Dragons will meet again Thursday in Drumheller before the series shifts to Olds for Game 3 Sat-urday at 7 p.m..

RDC sweep Clippers in final games of regular season

BY DANNY RODESPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Kings 104 Clippers 53In a perfect world the RDC Kings

would have finished their Alberta Col-leges Men’s Basketball League regular season in a battle against one of the other top teams in the South Division.

But that’s not the way it was set up. Instead the Kings final two games were against the last-place Briercrest Bible College Clippers.

“If you look across the conference several of the teams were playing more meaningful games and we miss be-ing involved in games like that,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. “But that’s not the way it was so we have to make the most of this opportu-nity and work on a couple of things to prepare for the playoffs.

The Kings wrapped up first place in the South Division with a 98-60 victory Friday then disposed of the Clippers 104-53 on Saturday afternoon at RDC.

Two members of the Kings — fifth-year guard Jacob Cusumano and third-year forward Brian Prenoslo — were honoured prior to Saturday’s game. The two will move on after this season.

Cusumano made the most of his fi-nal appearance before a home crowd as he pumped in 27 points, nailing six of ten from three-point distance.

“Jacob lit it up,” said Pottinger. “At one stretch in the third quarter he nailed five threes in a row. It was a great final game for him at home.”

JP LeBlanc added 13 points while Matt Mateur had 13 points and eight rebounds, Tyler Wise 10 points, two

rebounds and three assists and Ben-ny Bankazo 10 points and five boards. Prenoslo added eight points, Justin Jarvis six points and 10 rebounds and Matt Johnson nine points, four re-bounds and five assists.

The Kings head to Keyano in Fort McMurray Tuesday for the ACAC fi-nals, which open Thursday. The Kings meet the host Huskies in their first game.

Queens 69 Clippers 50After battling to beat the last-place

Clippers 78-76 Friday the Queens turned in a better defensive effort Sat-urday to record a 69-50 victory.

The Queens trailed 18-16 after the first quarter, but outscored the Clip-pers 21-13 in the second period and 13-12 in the third. They held a 19-7 margin in the final 10 minutes.

Winning their final two league games, even though it was against a last-place team, is a boost to the RDC program.

“For sure,” said Queens head coach Ken King. “It’s something we can build on, something we can get excited about for the girls returning and the re-cruits.”

King will have conversations with his players over the next couple of weeks about who will be back next season.

Desirae Paterson led the team with 15 points while impressive rookie Mor-gan Dool had nine points, 10 rebounds and four assists.

MINOR HOCKEY

BY JOSH ALDRICHADVOCATE STAFF

With two volleyball teams that spent the year at the top of the Alberta Col-leges Athletic Association standings, the post-season awards have already started to trickle in.

Kings setter Luke Brisbane was named men’s player of the year as well as to the South All-Conference team where he was joined by outside hit-ter Tim Finnigan and libero Patrick MacInyre.

“It’s obviously a huge honour, I don’t think I’d be in this situation if Tim had a full season, I think quite clearly he’s our leader,” said Brisbane.

Due to an early season injury to in-cumbent starting setter Tegan McGraw, the rookie from Melbourne, Australia was thrust into action and was never taken out again.

Brisbane finished the season with a South Division high 844 assists, placing him second in the division in assists per set with 9.0, behind only Marcus Biesheuvel (9.8) from the Lethbridge College Kodiaks.

But he is more than just a distribu-tor of the ball, Brisbane is an offensive weapon with 37 kills and 26 service aces on the season while also being tough defensively with 40 blocks and 155 digs — second in both categories on the Kings.

“I think he’s just starting to figure out how good he can be,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “He doesn’t seem to understand the grav-ity of certain situations, which is great,

you want guys to not feel that pressure and to thrive under it. He’s been im-pressive for us all year, played every single point of every match since that first week.”

Brisbane said he learned a lot this year from watching his oft injured captain Finnigan who played through pain and was a constant source of en-couragement on the court and from the sidelines.

“He just knows how you should react in certain situations, he’s re-ally confident as a result of knowing how he should act and with his confi-dence he does act and play really well in clutch moments,” said Brisbane. “When we’re down we just get Tim go-ing and it works out for us. He’s a great player and the best captain I’ve ever played with.”

On the women’s side, Queens pow-er Miranda Dawe, setter Bronwyn Hawkes, libero Madelyn Quinn and middle Alex Donaghy were all named to the South All-Conference team.

“They are some of the best players in the conference for sure, not just on one night but throughout the season,” said Queens head coach Talbot Wal-ton, referencing their provincial cham-pionship won on Saturday in Olds.

“Definitely their consistency every day at a high level of play, I think was a good representation for them. It’s always nice for those kids who have those opportunities and take advan-tage of them and play their best every night to get recognized.”

Canada’s Rocque improves to 2-0 at world

junior curling championshipsTALLINN, Estonia

— Kelsey Rocque and her Edmonton rink de-feated the United States 7-3 Sunday as Canada’s women’s team improved to 2-0 at the world junior curling championships.

Rocque, the defend-ing world champion, set the tone in the second end with a perfectly ex-ecuted a 15-foot runback onto a U.S. rock buried behind a guard.

The gutsy shot set the team up for an eventual deuce.

“We had a similar shot at the Canadian na-tionals against Quebec in the tenth end to win the game and we made it,” Rocque said.

“I knew it was a do-or-die shot and I threw it to make it. If I would’ve missed it, it would have been a whole different story.”

The Canadian wom-en are now leading the standings at 2-0 along with Scotland and Swe-den.

On the men’s side, Canada is 2-1 after split-ting games on Sunday.

Winnipeg’s Braden Calvert opened the day with a 7-4 loss to Russia, but bounced back with a 6-4 win over the U.S.

Westerner Park was the place to be this past weekend for hunters, fishers and lovers of the outdoors.

The 49th annual Red Deer Sportsman and Out-door Adventure Show, which ran Friday through Sunday, spanned the Parkland, Prairie and Stock-men’s pavilions and featured over 120 exhibitors.Boats lined either end of the show, with every-thing from fishing and hunting gear, airsoft guns, ATVs, African safari adventures and much more.

Hunters and fishers had the opportunity to at-tend seminars hosted by Jason Acorn and Calvin Buckler of Boneyard TV, a documentary-styled hunting show on the Wild TV network. Bentley Co-ben Wildlife Productions also hosted seminars for hunting enthusiasts.

Attractions for the whole family included the Canadian Reptile Encounters show, which saw founder Jason Clevett talk about snakes found in Alberta, and other reptiles from around the world. The locally-based Hot Diggity Dogs agility show was also incredibly popular with families, showcasing a number of different dogs running through a course.

Children were kept entertained by fishing in the magnetic fish pond and other outdoorsy activi-ties set up the Red Deer Junior Forest Wardens.

The Sportsman and Outdoor Adventure Show is put on by the Red Deer Fish and Game Associa-tion, a non-profit conservation organization.

Generation gap is technically defined as the dif-ferences between younger generations and their el-ders, especially between children and their parents.

The generation gap has existed throughout human history, and two recent studies suggest it still ex-ists today, even when it comes to how the baby boomers and their younger generation chil-dren view saving for retire-ment. Baby boomers make up 29 per cent of Canada’s pop-ulation. Many of those born in the beginning of the boom in 1946 already have left the workforce, while the young-est of the boomer generation, those born in 1964, are turning 50 and will begin to consider retiring or will retire soon.

The boomers, for one thing, want to be financially inde-pendent in retirement and seem to be shunning a desire from their children to help keep them comfortable in retirement.

An RBC poll found that while a majority (72 per cent) of younger Canadians aged 18 to 34 believe they owe it to their parents to keep them comfortable in retirement, a greater majority (76 per cent) of boom-ers don’t want this IOU and want to be financially independent in retirement, even though they’re not sure how they will achieve this goal.

Part of the reason for this view may be that boom-ers believe their children’s generation is facing

more financial pressures and is less prepared for retirement, even though 37 per cent of boomers who have determined how much they need to retire com-fortably estimate they are somewhat short of or even nowhere close to where they thought they would be in terms of their retirement savings.

“We’re seeing a strong desire among boomers for financial independence in retirement, coupled with uncertainty around how they will accomplish this goal,” said Richa Hingorani, senior manager of financial planning support with RBC Financial Plan-ning. Another study by BMO Financial Group found that 47 per cent of millennials are optimistic about their ability to afford retirement, compared to only one-third of boomers.

Millennials reported feeling they need on average of $441,610 in savings in their registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) for retirement, compared to boomers who say they need an average of $385,184 in theirs. Currently, millennials only have an average of $15,194 saved and boomers $385,184 in their RR-SPs toward their retirement goal.

“Considering how much time millennials have to save for their retirement, their confidence in their ability to reach their target makes sense,” said Chris Buttigieg, senior manager, wealth planning strategy, with BMO Financial Group. “However, they should definitely take heed of any lessons learned from their parents about what works and what doesn’t with saving for retirement, and make sure they have a financial plan that will keep them on track.”

Millennials and their parents have other differing views about retirement saving.

RRSP ownership among the younger generation

has dropped to 36 per cent, its lowest level in more than a decade, and well below the 67 per cent level among boomers aged 50 to 69. Forty-eight per cent of younger Canadians are more likely to say that having enough savings is one of their top concerns in retire-ment, compared to 38 per cent of boomers.

Younger Canadians are more worried about bal-ancing immediate savings with long-term retirement savings than boomers, and millennials with unused RRSP contribution room are more worried about the impact this will have on their retirement than their boomer parents. As well, boomers tend to make one-time contributions to their RRSPs more than their children, who tend to use regular contribution plans more than their parents do.

“We understand that younger Canadians have many competing financial demands on their lives which may make it difficult for them to focus on RR-SPs and retirement savings — they also have other options such as tax free savings Accounts to help them grow their savings,” said Hingorani. “We also know RRSPs continue to be one of the best ways to save for retirement.

A distinct advantage of RRSPs for young people to consider is that the sooner you can get your RRSP started the greater the opportunity you have to grow these savings significantly by the time you are ready to retire.”

VANCOUVER — The free-for-all era of Canada’s commercial medical marijuana industry is over as a new crop of growers try to woo scarce investment dollars in an increasingly competitive business, ob-servers say.

Boris Ziger, CEO of Matica Enterprises Inc., said the short-lived days of unbridled growth ended soon after last year’s change in federal regulations that shifted medical-marijuana production to commercial enterprises from patients growing their own pot.

He said the stock market went “absolutely crazy” in the spring of 2014 as various companies began branding themselves as pot producers in hopes of cashing in on what was really “irrational exuberance you hear about in business school.”

“It’s become much less Wild West-y,” said Ziger, of the Toronto-based investment firm that has sunk millions of dollars into aspiring medical marijuana producer THC Dispensaries Canada Ltd., in Nova Scotia.

All the exuberance at the beginning of the rush had Canada’s security regulators warning investors about buying into medical marijuana companies over lack of disclosure and the general frenzy in the market.

“It was a very hyped-up market, people were very speculative, a lot of loosey-goosey talk,” said Nick Brusatore, who owns a controlling share of vertical-farm innovator and marijuana-producing hopeful Affinor Growers.

“People have had enough of the hype,” he said. “The market’s wise to it now.”

But new businesses trying to get into medical mar-ijuana production are having a tough time financing their ventures.

“Even we’re finding it a little difficult to raise some cash,” Ziger said, adding the newest players have to work a lot harder for what could be a big payoff.

“There hasn’t been a new industry opening up like this since the prohibition of alcohol was lifted. That’s really the only comparison you can make.”

Ziger said Matica is in the final stages of obtaining a licence from Health Canada and plans are in the works for a $10-million expansion of a 14-hectare lot in Nova Scotia for THC to eventually produce 11,000 kilograms of medical marijuana annually.

Despite the stiff competition for investors’ cash, companies continue to apply to Health Canada for licences to produce medical marijuana.

As of Jan. 26, Health Canada had received more than 1,200 applications for Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations licences.

The agency said that about half of them were re-turned as incomplete, while 223 were refused and 35 were withdrawn.

Health Canada said 23 licences have been issued — 15 for fully authorized production of medical mar-ijuana and eight for probationary, cultivation-only permits.

The agency is currently processing 320 applica-tions.

An estimated 40,000 patients use medical mari-juana in Canada.

The exact number of people whose doctors pre-scribe marijuana is unknown because of a court injunction that allows producers under a now-dis-mantled licensing system to continue growing in the leadup to a constitutional court challenge.

In the early days of the new-generation industry, a disproportionate number of beleaguered mining companies was among the ranks of medical mari-juana newcomers lured by the prospect of satisfying disgruntled shareholders.

An already established network of deep-pocketed investors was especially useful in a fledgling indus-

try.OrganiGram Holdings Inc. was once known as In-

form Exploration Corp., and is now a fully licensed medical marijuana producer.

Other established mining companies also making the transition to diversity into the marijuana indus-try are Bayhorse Silver Inc., Satori Resources and Vodis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., formerly Southbridge Resources.

Many of the companies angling to get in on the medical marijuana game are eagerly eyeing the prospect of outright legalization in Canada and are positioning themselves to take advantage of any leg-islative change.

But some dissenters believe legalization would spell the end of the medical marijuana industry in Canada.

Brusatore said legalization would see pot sourc-ing shift outside of Canada to places like Argentina and Uruguay, where growing costs are a fraction of what they are domestically.

“The marijuana markets are not going to be what people think. They’re going to get crushed. Period.”

TORONTO — BlackBerry Ltd. (TSX:BB) is bulking up its security partnership with Samsung Electronics in an effort to attract more business customers.

The Waterloo, Ont.,-based smartphone company says it has locked in a new agreement that will in-tegrate more of its services into Samsung Knox, the South Korean company’s mobile security platform.

The pact is the latest in a growing relationship between BlackBerry and Samsung, once smartphone industry rivals who are now combining some of their efforts to bolster a competitive stance against Apple Inc., which is making its own solo push into the busi-ness community — known within the industry as en-terprise users.

BlackBerry chief executive John Chen said his company brings additional security features to the table that Samsung needed to improve its slate of software.

“Samsung is a consumer company and they in-tended to get into the enterprise space,” Chen said on a recent conference call with reporters.

“Enterprise needs a lot more than what the Knox offered.”

The joint announcemt comes just before the start of the Mobile World Congress trade fair in Barce-

lona, Spain on Monday.BlackBerry’s WorkLife allows businesses to sup-

ply phones to their employees, but create a virtual divide within the device that allows it to operate as if it were two separate phones.

For instance, a company-owned phone can oper-ate as both a personal and work phone, creating a split between work and personal phone calls, texts and data usage. It will be available through carriers later this year, though BlackBerry did not provide any specific target date.

SecuSuite software adds an extra level of security to the phone with encryption technology that makes voice and text communication “virtually tap-proof,” Blackberry said. The service will be available on Samsung Knox this fall.

Last year, BlackBerry announced an initial part-nership with Samsung, giving owners of Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets the option of link-ing with BlackBerry’s new mobile security software, known as BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12.

BlackBerry has been trying to pivot its business model away from the consumer market under the leadership of Chen, who joined the company in late 2013. His strategy has focused on cementing new relationships with corporate clients, as services and software revenues begin to eclipse the money it makes from handsets.

BlackBerry deepens Samsung partnership Feds appoint new corporate social

responsibility watchdog for mining companies

TORONTO — The Conservative government has named its new corporate social responsibility coun-sellor for the mining sector.

It says the watchdog will have a more pro-active approach for dealing with complaints involving Ca-nadian companies.

Longtime industry adviser and engineer Jeffrey Davidson takes on the role after a major overhaul of the government’s strategy on responsible resource extraction abroad.

Davidson is a professor at Queen’s University, and has worked specifically in the area of community re-lations and sustainable development for 15 years.

International Trade Minister Ed Fast said David-son will be looking to prevent, identify and resolve disputes over environmental and human rights is-sues at their early stages.

Fast said that companies that do not comply with social responsibility guidelines and refuse dispute resolution will see any federal support for their projects withdrawn. The position of corporate social responsibility counsellor sat vacant for a year, but the office continued to cost the government $181,600 according to information released in January.

The government says staff in the office carried out the duties while the counsellor position was vacant.

TORONTO — Some of Canada’s most remote and impoverished First Nations communities isolated within northern Ontario’s so called Ring of Fire region are getting funding to con-duct a study on how to open the area to development.

However at least one critic suggest-ed the study, which is to look at estab-lishing a year-round transportation corridor in part to allow mining opera-tions, would be redundant.

The study will be led by the Webe-quie First Nation in partnership with the First Nations of Eabametoong, Neskantaga and Nibinamik, with the federal and Ontario governments each contributing $393,814.

Various stakeholders have been dis-cussing for years how to connect the region. It has been widely agreed that economic development of the Ring of Fire would be very limited without some way to connect it to the rest of the world.

“We’ve always struggled to connect with the mainstream society, and I think as we move forward we will even-tually connect with the real world and then hopefully we see the benefits that we always strive for,” said Webequie First Nation Chief Cornelius Wabasse, adding that the remote community is only accessible by air in the summer-time and by road in the winter months.

Nibinamik First Nations Chief

Johnny Yellowhead said he was appre-hensive of working with the provincial government at first but is pleased with the results.

“I was told when we started ap-proaching Ontario -- you’ll never get Ontario to listen to you,” he said. “But I’m glad they’re here, even the federal minister. We’re making progress as we go and I’m very grateful to see that.”

Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Ontario Northern De-velopment Minister Michael Gravelle made the announcement at a mining conference in Toronto on Sunday.

“What does that mean for this re-gion?” Rickford said. “It means that communities will have the opportunity to work collaboratively to assess, plan and develop a shared transportation solution that will open the door for future development in northwestern Ontario.”

Rickford said the project will posi-tion the region to capitalize on projects such as the Ring of Fire, but its main goal is to open up the region and meet the immediate and long term needs of local communities in the region.

New Democrat MP Claude Grav-elle questioned spending money on a study, saying the investment should be focused directly on infrastructure in the region, because a similar study has already been done.


TORONTO — Market attention moves to the Bank of Canada this week now that the quarterly earnings season has pretty much wrapped up.

There are still a few companies to report, notably Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS), which hands in results on Tuesday.

A run of generally positive reports from the other big banks helped give some lift to the TSX last week, which finished up 0.04 per cent.

Traders are looking to the central bank’s rate announcement on Wednes-day to see if it will again surprise mar-kets with a cut as it did in January. At that time, the bank decided to take a pre-emptive move to support the econ-omy to deal with the economic effects of the collapse in oil prices, cutting its key rate a quarter point to 0.75 per cent.

Since then, there has been height-ened speculation that the bank would cut again, as early as Wednesday. But Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz indicated last week that the bank may not want to move right away.

He said the cut in January has given the Bank of Canada time to figure out how best to steer the country back to-ward stability. And Poloz added that the rate cut in January has given poli-cy-makers more confidence the econ-omy should be back on a more sound footing by the end of next year, rather than some time in 2017.

“Prior to this week, the market had not just a rate cut almost completely priced in for March, it was assuming there was a good possibility of yet an-other rate cut after March,” said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital

Markets.“Now, it’s actually seen as a bit of

longshot for the bank to cut rates in early March although the market still is of the view there is a good possibil-ity that at some point rates could be trimmed again.”

Porter said that another rate cut depends on where oil prices head and the bank getting a better idea of the economic fallout from prices that have plunged 40 per cent from late Novem-ber alone amid a huge demand/supply imbalance.

“It might take a little bit more time for everybody, including the bank of Canada, to get a better grip on exactly how serious this effect has been,” he said.

Statistics Canada releases its latest data on gross domestic product growth for December and the fourth quarter on Tuesday but Porter doesn’t think that report will factor into decision-making on rates.

“I would assume they have a good read on it already,” he said.

“It is going to be below what the bank expected in its monetary policy report in January — they were at that time expecting 2.5 per cent growth, it’s going to be closer to two per cent we think.”

The other major economic event of the week is Friday when the U.S. government releases its employment report for February. Canadian em-ployment data for February will be released March 13.

“The big story is the (U.S.) job mar-ket has turned for real over the last year and will just strengthen the case that the Federal Reserve will raise rates later this year,” added Porter.

“We’re leaning towards September (but) I don’t rule out June.”

HALIFAX — Canadian lobster ex-ports to Asia are growing but one lob-ster fisherman says that hasn’t had much impact on Maritime shore prices.

Bernie Berry of the Coldwater Lob-ster Association said prices are not yet reflecting the increased Asian de-mand.

“We’re not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth, it’s just we were expect-ing maybe a little bit more,” said Ber-ry, whose organization represents fish-erman in southwestern Nova Scotia.

Berry said prices in his area this year are about 10 cents higher on aver-age than the year before. The bigger advantage of the Asian markets is that it is easier to unload catches, he said.

“Before the market in China really took off ... we were landing so many lobsters some of the times things would get backlogged,” he said.

“But now I think there’s enough market, it’s big enough and still getting bigger, that it just absorbs what we can catch even though we’re at record levels.”

Exports of live Canadian lobsters to Asia have increased by more than 400 per cent over the past five years, Hali-fax Stanfield International Airport re-cently said in a news release.

The airport said during the holi-day season last year, Korean Air Cargo made weekly flights to South Korea with each one carrying 40 to 50 tonnes of lobster, with the largest shipment recorded at 100 tonnes.

While China remains the biggest Asian market for Canada’s lobster, South Korea is becoming increasingly important, said Geoff Irvine of the Lob-ster Council of Canada.

Canadian exports of live lobster to South Korea doubled in value between 2011 and 2013, the federal government says.

On Jan. 1, the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement came into effect, which Irvine said should further in-crease Canada’s share of the Korean

market.“The key thing about South Korea

is that the Americans have had a free trade agreement for several years and we haven’t,” said Irvine.

Irvine said the increased demand in Asia can be attributed in part to rising middle classes in the region.

The Lobster Council of Canada re-cently announced a branding plan for lobster exports, which Irvine said will

include Asian markets as part of its focus. The marketing plan depends on a proposed levy in which lobster fish-ermen, buyers and processors across the Maritimes would pay one cent per pound of lobster caught to cover the cost of promotional initiatives.

Nova Scotia Fisheries Minister Keith Colwell has said he hopes the levy can be in place by the fall.

However, it has gotten resistance

from some fishermen and buyers in the province. Berry said while he un-derstands the reluctance towards the levy, he believes marketing will be key to bringing up prices.

“As much as China’s expanded over the past four, five or six years, I think it could be so much bigger and I guess it’s how we get into that market and try to market our product that we’re going to get a better price.”

NEW YORK — Will Smith’s con-man caper Focus dethroned Fifty Shades of Grey at the box office, but the film’s modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star.

According to studio estimates Sun-day, Warner Bros.’ Focus easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller Kingsman: The Secret Service, which made $11.8 mil-lion in its third week of release.

After two weeks atop the box of-fice, Fifty Shades of Grey continued its steep slide, landing in fourth with an estimated $10.9 million for Universal Pictures.

Fifty Shades, which has made $486.2 million globally, fell just behind Para-mount’s The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, which earned $11.2 mil-lion in its fourth week.

The weekend’s only other new wide release, Relativity’s horror film The Lazarus Effect, opened in fifth place with $10.6 million.

But the weekend was largely seen, fairly or not, as a referendum on Smith’s star power. Focus, written and directed by the Crazy, Stupid, Love duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, is Smith’s first film since 2013’s After Earth, the sci-fi flop in which he co-starred with his son, Jaden.

Smith has been frank about the sting of that film’s box-office performance. “I can’t allow the box-office success, or lack thereof, to determine my self-image,” he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

But Focus, made for about $50 mil-lion and co-starring Margot Robbie of The Wolf of Wall Street, was never intended to be a summer-sized block-buster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million.

“This is a mid-budgeted film with a result that matches,” said Jeff Gold-stein, head of distribution for Warner Bros., who added that winter storms accounted for a drop of $1-2 million. “There’s no question we got hammered because of inclement weather in the South and the Midwest.”

The R-rated Focus overwhelmingly appealed to adults, with 88 per cent of its audience older than 25 — not a

good sign for Smith’s appeal to a new generation of moviegoers who weren’t around for his triumphs in Indepen-dence Day.

Nevertheless, there aren’t many stars who could do better with a drama in late February. And Focus should play well internationally, where Smith’s popularity remains strong.

“This still goes on his balance sheet as a number one debut,” said Paul Degarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office data firm Rentrak. “He can still draw an audience, particu-larly with a film that’s R-rated and not aimed at the young crowd.”

Final domestic figures will be re-leased Monday.

1. Focus, $19.1 million.2. Kingsman: The Secret Service, $11.8

million.3. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out

of Water $11.2 million.4. Fifty Shades of Grey, $10.9 million.5. The Lazarus Effect, $10.6 million.6. McFarland, USA, $7.8 million.7. American Sniper, $7.7 million.8. The DUFF, $7.2 million.9. Still Alice, $2.7 million.10. Hot Tub Time Machine 2, $2.4 mil-

lion.

Lady Gaga, Vince Vaughn take icy plunge into

Chicago’s Lake Michigan for Special Olympics

CHICAGO — Lady Gaga and Vince Vaughn made plunges into the icy wa-ters of Chicago’s Lake Michigan at a fundraiser for Special Olympics.

Special Olympics Chicago President Casey Hogan said Sunday that Gaga did the plunge with more than 4,500 other participants. Hogan says the singer’s appearance was “a very nice surprise.”

Gaga recently announced her en-gagement to Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney. Photos show her and a bare-chested Kinney going into the water together.

Vaughn also made the plunge. The native of the Chicago suburb Lake For-est was dressed in his Chicago Black-hawks jersey and jeans. The actor went in up to his knees, then eased himself down backward in the water.

Last year comedian Jimmy Fallon jumped in wearing a suit and tie, and helped raise more than $1 million.

Spain police arrest 9 on suspicion of creating and selling fake art including

Picasso, WarholMADRID — Spanish police have

broken up a gang that allegedly cre-ated and then sold fake works of art purporting to be by renowned artists including Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Joan Miro.

Officers have arrested nine suspects in the eastern region of Valencia, in-cluding the alleged counterfeiters and intermediaries involved in selling the fakes online and through galleries, an Interior Ministry statement says.

The investigation began following a complaint that art objects had been stolen from a house in the eastern city of Denia.

Police proceeded to search seven addresses and seized 271 works, in-cluding canvasses, sculptures and doc-uments to be used in the falsification of the art’s provenance.

Saturday’s statement says the al-leged counterfeiters were three broth-ers and a couple, who had all been fak-ing art for seven years.

Bruce Willis laments sudden end to action-thriller Wake,

blames financierLOS ANGELES — Bruce Willis is

not saying “Yippie-ki-yay” about the cancellation of his latest film.

A spokesman for Willis told The As-sociated Press that production of Wake was suddenly halted this week when financing fell through, and the actor is concerned that crew members who joined him “in good faith” are left job-less.

Publicist Paul Bloch said the com-pany responsible for financing the film didn’t deliver the promised funds, so production of the action-thriller was indefinitely suspended. Shooting be-gan earlier this month in Cleveland.

Benaroya Pictures did not return calls and emails seeking comment Friday. Wake, about a man who gets caught up in the siege of a remote island while attending his brother’s wake there, was also to star Ben Kings-ley and Ellen Burstyn.

LIFESTYLE C6MONDAY, MARCH 2, 2015

Dear Annie: My husband’s sis-ter controlled his mother’s finances. “Carol” paid the nursing home with her mother’s credit card and gained reward points, which she used for vacations while Mom was still alive.

My husband was the one who handled doctor visits, brought Mom to our home for dinner and did all of the neces-sary errands.

Carol told me she would not care for Mom if her money ran out.

When Mom died, she left a small es-tate that took Carol over a year to dis-tribute, and she kept a few thousand dollars in a separate account.

Carol recently announced that she is going to have a memorial for Mom, and we would rent a nice cottage on a lake so we could scatter Mom’s ashes

where she had enjoyed many summers. That’s fine.

But Carol proceeded to put a de-posit down on a big cottage, made a list of everyone she wanted to attend and then informed my husband that we would have to get our own cottage at our own expense.

I have never seen my husband so angry and upset.

Once he had calmed down, I sug-gested he call Carol and tell her off. Instead, he said this is just her person-ality and forget about it.

My husband has always been the whipping boy for Carol.

He tells me to find it in my heart to forgive, but I’m tired of forgiving this type of cruel and selfish behavior. I refuse to go to this memorial, because I view it as one last vacation on Mom’s dime.

I told my husband to go without me, but I know I’ll resent it if he goes, and he’ll resent me if he stays. I really need some help dealing with this last slap in the face. — Stunned Once Again

Dear Stunned: You are thinking of this as a favor for Carol, but it is really for your husband. He wants to attend the memorial and have your emotional

support. By refusing, you are only hurt-ing him. Carol won’t care whether you are there or not. We agree that she is behaving terribly, but it serves no purpose to rile up your husband by emphasizing Carol’s mistreatment and selfishness.

It won’t change her. It will only make your husband more unhappy. Please go with him and let him deal with Carol as he chooses.

Dear Annie: I am eight months preg-nant. It floors me how many friends say, “Wow, you’re getting so big” every time I see them. Recently, I overheard someone tell a pregnant woman, “You look a lot bigger than with your last one.”

Most women I know are not thrilled about gaining weight, even during pregnancy, and it is easy to be self-con-scious about our changing shape. We don’t need such insensitive comments.

I know these people aren’t trying to be hurtful, but who wants to be told they’re huge? If it can’t pass as a com-pliment, please keep it to yourself. — Pregnant Not Fat

Dear Pregnant: People somehow can’t help themselves.

They speak before their brains are

totally in gear and blurt out offensive comments without meaning to.

We hope your letter will encourage folks to think twice, but in the mean-time, try to show forbearance. It’s good practice for when you are raising chil-dren.

Dear Annie: I would like to weigh in on “More Than a Little Grossed Out,” whose cousin’s 14-year-old son still sleeps with Grandma.

The boy may believe this is appro-priate because he has been condi-tioned to think this way by his mother and grandmother. It may have started when he was a hard-to-settle infant and was then perpetuated to satisfy their needs.

Whether or not there is abuse, it is inappropriate and keeps this boy in-fantilized.

I hope the family can see the poten-tial for harm in what they are doing. — Appalled in Ithaca, N.Y.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Today there’s a fine line between being proactive and be-ing impulsive

H A P P Y BIRTHDAY: You have a fer t i le imagination and are a loyal friend. When it comes to professional options, aim to be more flexible. There are many creative avenues you could

pursue.ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll dis-

cover there’s a fine line between fiery debate and all-out arguing.

Keep the conversation light and lively as you steer clear of sensitive topics — espe-cially involving children!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When it comes to work — or looking for a job — the best thing you can do is study, retrain, up-grade your qualifications or learn a new skill. The early bird gets the career worm Taurus!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Hey Gemini - you’re in the mood to talk, text, tweet, travel and study.

Watch what you say though - hasty words now could lead to regrets later, so aim to be much more diplomatic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The focus is firmly on money matters.

Strive to get the balance right between grabbing opportunities when they come

along, and keeping a sensible financial head on your shoulders.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid being a loudmouth Lion today and don’t believe ev-erything you hear, especially at work. If you think carefully before you speak, it will save you from a day of dramas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t make mountains out of molehills, especially at work. Today’s stars favour taking a broad overview and keeping a positive attitude.

Then you’ll really start kicking goals.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Are you doing

all the giving, and others all the taking? If you allow people to walk all over you, that’s ex-actly what they’ll do.

Sort out your personal boundaries Libra — and stick to them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be cautious about what you tell a family member or work colleague.

Otherwise you may say too much or make a promise you can’t keep. With a little discre-tion, you’ll have a good day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your

loose tongue could get you into trouble today Sagittarius — especially if you gossip up a storm.

Don’t overdo it — if you pass on unverified news, you could end up in hot water.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may become impatient with someone’s lack of initiative but today’s not the time to push but-tons.

Concentrate your attention on positive people, and focus on smart solutions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid get-ting carried away and talking up projects — especially work ones — until you’ve laid the groundwork. It’s a fabulous day to exercise your brain cells and learn something new.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When it comes to work, make alterations that allow you to be more creative and independent. Perhaps you can change your professional routine or initiate a challenging new project?

Fog machine in Pittsburgh art installation prompting

false fire alarmsPITTSBURGH — Where there’s

smoke, there’s fire. But fog signals art, as Pittsburgh

firefighters are quickly learning.The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports

that firefighters have been called to a downtown public square at least twice — including on Thursday morning — by people who reported smoke when they saw machine-generated fog that’s part of a new art installation.

“A Winter Landscape Cradling Bits of Sparkle” by artist Jennifer Wen Ma is a small oasis of mulched trees envel-oping a small, boardwalk path.

The fog machine belches every 10 minutes to simulate a cloudy moun-taintop.

The Office of Public Art, a public-private agency, says firefighters are being advised and the intensity of the fog bursts may be toned down to lessen the chance of future false alarms.

The installation runs through April 12.

Woman pelted by egg, knocked unconscious in Seattle “drive-by egging”

Seattle police say a woman was

knocked unconscious when she was pelted by an egg in a so-called drive-by egging.

Detective Patrick Michaud says the egg hit the woman right behind the ear and knocked her out early Tuesday. Her friends caught her before she fell to the ground and drove her to a local hospital.

Police say the woman and her friends were standing outside a bar in the Crown Hill neighbourhood when someone in a passing truck threw a volley of eggs at them.

An employee of the bar was also hit in the egging.

Michaud said Thursday that he didn’t know her condition.

Witnesses described the truck as a small black or green pickup with a canopy and dark-tinted windows.

Refracted sun rays from Nutella jar caused house

fire, London firefighters sayLondon’s firefighters say sun rays

refracted by a Nutella jar likely caused a house fire.

The city’s fire brigade says inves-tigators believe the glass jar — which had been emptied of the hazelnut spread — had been placed on a win-dow sill and refracted sunlight, setting blinds alight.

According to a statement posted Tuesday by the brigade, the family was not at home but the blaze killed a dog.

Fire investigator Charlie Pugsley said: “It sounds far-fetched that a jar containing a few rubber bands caused a severe house fire but that’s exactly what happened.”

The fire happened Feb. 15 in south-west London.

Forever”, but that is wrong. The memories we keep of you, we will never let go,

they will be forever. The time we had together you fi lled

our lives with so much. You tickled us and raised our spirits when we needed it most. You made us laugh

and cry and “think” and look at life through your eyes. You challenged our minds to think

deeper about people lessfortunate than us. You

shocked our complacency and through your thinking and acting you shared a

piece of your soul. Your hard work, dedication to detail, and innovative ideas to

survive, to help others and us, are alive and well. We continue to carry on your support of others and to

honor you, from the spark and inspiration you gave us

all. We will be Forever Grateful. “Why fi t in when

TODAY IN HISTORY


BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime minis-ter called on Sunni tribal fighters to abandon the Islamic State group Sun-day, ahead of a promised offensive to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown from the extremists.

Haider al-Abadi offered no timeline for an attack on Tikrit, the hometown of the late Iraqi dictator some 130 kilo-metres (80 miles) north of Baghdad that fell into the hands of the Islamic State group last summer. However, Shiite militias and Iraqi security forces have stationed themselves around Tikrit as state-run media has warned that the city “will soon return to its people.”

But sending Shiite militias into the Sunni city of Tikrit, the capital of Iraq’s Salahuddin province, could re-prise the bloody, street-by-street insur-gent battles that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. On Saturday, two

suicide car bombers killed 16 nearby Shiite militiamen and wounded 31.

Al-Abadi offered what he called “the last chance” for Sunni tribal fight-ers, promising them a pardon during a news conference in Samarra, 95 ki-lometres (60 miles) north of Baghdad. His office said he arrived in Samarra to “supervise the operation to liberate Tikrit from the terrorist gangs.”

“I call upon those who have been misled or committed a mistake to lay down arms and join their people and security forces in order to liberate their cities,” al-Abadi said.

Al-Abadi said the operation will see troops come from several directions, but he declined to give an exact time for the operation’s start. However, his presence in Samarra suggests it could come soon.

The Iraqi military previously launched an operation in late June to try to wrest back control of Tikrit, but that quickly stalled after making little

headway. Other planned offensives by Iraq’s military, which collapsed under the initial Islamic State group blitz, also have failed to make up ground, though soldiers have taken back the nearby refinery town of Beiji, backed by airstrikes from a U.S.-led coalition.

Tikrit, which occasionally saw at-tacks on U.S. forces during the Ameri-can occupation of the country, is one of the biggest cities held by the Islamic State group. It also sits on the road to Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, which is also held by the extremists. Any op-eration to take Mosul likely would re-quire Iraq to seize Tikrit first.

Al-Abadi’s comments appear to be targeting former members of Iraq’s out-lawed Baath party, loyalists to Saddam Hussein, who joined the Islamic State group during its offensive, as well as other Sunnis who were dissatisfied with Baghdad’s Shiite-led government.

The premier likely hopes to peel away some support from the Islamic State group, especially as Iraqis grow in-creasingly horrified by the extremists’ mass killings and other atrocities.

In February alone, violence across Iraq killed at least 1,100 Iraqis, includ-ing more than 600 civilians, the U.N. Assistance Mission in Iraq said Sun-day. U.N. envoy Nickolay Mladenov blamed the deaths on the extremist group, government forces and pro-gov-ernment Shiite militias.

“Daily terrorist attacks perpetrated by ISIL continue to deliberately target all Iraqis,” Mladenov said. “There are also concerning reports of a number of revenge killings by armed groups in areas recently liberated from ISIL.”

Last year was the deadliest in Iraq since its 2006-2007 sectarian bloodshed, with a total of 12,282 people killed and 23,126 wounded, according to the U.N.

Protesters march on Moscow


MOSCOW — For the tens of thou-sands bearing flowers and tying black ribbons to railings in honour of slain Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, the solemn march through the Moscow drizzle on Sunday was a time for silence, not slogans.

The marchers occasionally broke into chants of “Russia without Putin,” or “Say no to war,” but often the only sound was the steady thwack of police helicopters overhead or the hum of po-lice boats patrolling the shores of the Moscow River.

While the killing of Nemtsov has shaken the Russian opposition, which sees the Kremlin as responsible, it is unclear whether his death will be enough to invigorate the beleaguered movement. Despite the Ukraine con-flict and Russia’s economic crisis, support for President Vladimir Putin has been above 80 per cent in the past year.

Since mass anti-Putin protests brought hundreds of thousands to the streets of Moscow in 2011 and 2012, Pu-tin has marginalized and intimidated his political opponents, jailing some, driving others into exile, and ramp-ing up fines and potential jail time for those detained at protests.

The 55-year-old Nemtsov was among the few prominent opposition figures who refused to be cowed. But while many at the march expressed respect for his long political career and grief at his loss, few believed that his death would spark major change in Russia because of the Kremlin’s control over national television, where a vast ma-jority of Russians get their news.

“Maybe if 100 people were to die people would rise up, but I don’t really believe in that,” said Sergei Musakov, 22. “People are so under the influence of the (TV) box that they will believe anything that television tells them. If it tells them that terrorists from the Islamic State group came to Russia in order to blow up the fifth column, they’ll believe it.”

The Kremlin had identified Nemts-ov as among the leaders of a “fifth col-umn,” painting him and other opposi-

tion figures as traitors in the service of a hostile West.

About 30,000 people attended the march, making it the largest opposition rally in more than a year. The demon-strators bore Russian flags and signs that read “I am not afraid” or “Propa-ganda kills.” At the site where Nemts-ov was killed, a pile of flowers grew by the minute, as mourners tossed down bouquets of every colour.

Nemtsov was gunned down shortly before midnight Friday as he walked across a bridge near the Kremlin. The killing came just hours after a radio in-terview in which he denounced Putin’s “mad, aggressive policy” in Ukraine.

At the time of his death, Nemtsov was working on a report that he be-lieved proved that Russian troops were fighting alongside the separatists in Ukraine, despite the official denials.

No one has been arrested in the kill-ing. Investigators said they were look-ing into several possible motives and

have offered 3 million rubles (near-ly $50,000) for information about the shooting.

TV Center, a station controlled by the Moscow city government, broad-cast a poor-resolution video from one of its web cameras that it said shows Nemtsov and his date shortly before the killing.

The station, which superimposed its own time code on the footage, circled figures that it said were Nemtsov and the woman walking across the bridge on a rainy night. A snowplow that moved slowly behind the couple ob-scured the view of the shooting.

TV Center then circled what it said was the suspected killer jumping into a passing car. The authenticity of the video could not be independently con-firmed.

Investigators said Sunday they were again questioning the woman, Ukrai-nian citizen Anna Duritskaya. Russian media have identified her as a model

and shown photos of her in alluring poses.

Fellow opposition activists said they hoped Nemtsov’s death would encour-age people to take action, rather than intimidate them.

“Essentially it is an act of terror,” said Ilya Yashin, an opposition leader and friend. “It is a political murder aimed at frightening the population, or the part of the population that sup-ported Nemtsov or did not agree with the government. I hope we won’t get scared, that we will continue what Bo-ris was doing.”

Mikhail Kasyanov, a former prime minister who joined the opposition, told the crowd the killing should be a turning point for Russia “for the simple reason that people who before thought that they could quietly sit in their kitchens and simply discuss prob-lems within the family, now will start reconsidering everything that’s going on in our country.”

30,000 RALLY TO MOURN SLAIN

PUTIN FOE WHILE OPPOSITION BLAMES KREMLIN FOR KILLING


People carry Russian national flags during a march in memory of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov who was gunned down on Friday, near the Kremlin, with The Kremlin Wall and St. Basil Cathedral in the background, in Moscow, Russia, Sunday. Thousands converged Sunday in central Moscow to mourn veteran liberal politician Boris Nemtsov, whose killing on the streets of the capital has shaken Russia’s beleaguered opposition.

Ultimatum offered for Sunni fighters ahead of hinted Tikrit offensive


MONTREAL — Between Ontario and Quebec deep freezes, the Maritime snowpocalypse, and British Columbia’s early spring, February was a month of extreme weather.

In general, temperatures across Quebec and southern Ontario were seven to nine degrees colder than the historic averages.

Quebec experienced the coldest February since at least 1889 — for example, Montreal recorded an average temperature of -14.9 C, compared to an aver-age of -8.5 C.

Other parts of the province fared even worse, with Quebec City reporting a temperature of -17.8 C.

Environment Canada meteorologist Maxime De-sharnais says it was the persistent cold and wind that set this year apart.

He said a jet stream of frigid air from the North-west Territories kept a cold air mass trapped over parts of Ontario and Quebec for most of the month.

Ottawa recorded its coldest-ever February, with an average tempera-ture of -16.8 C, shattering the former record set in 1979.

In Toronto, it was the first February in 75 years where the temperature did not climb above the freezing mark.

Many Maritimers spent most of the month digging out after record snowfalls. Both Halifax and Moncton recorded more than dou-ble the average amount of snow for the month.

Charlottetown was buried under more than seven feet of snow (222.8 cm), including nearly 90 cm in a single storm that hit PEI’s capital on Feb-ruary 16th.

By comparison, resi-dents of British Colum-bia’s lower mainland have had reason to gloat as they experienced weather that was comparatively spring-like.

The province as a whole was three to five degrees warmer than nor-mal, which Desharnais said was “very signifi-cant.”

Vancouver recorded an average temperature of 7.5 C, with temperatures climbing to 14 C on some days in February.


CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astro-nauts successfully completed a three-day cable job outside the International Space Station on Sunday, routing several-hundred feet of power and data lines for new crew capsules commissioned by NASA.

It was the third spacewalk in just over a week for Americans Terry Virts and Butch Wilmore, and the quickest succession of spacewalks since NASA’s for-mer shuttle days.

The advance work was needed for the manned spacecraft under development by Boeing and SpaceX. A pair of docking ports will fly up later this year, followed by the capsules themselves, with as-tronauts aboard, in 2017.

Once safely back inside, Virts reported a bit of water in his helmet again for the second time in as many spacewalks. He stressed it was “not a big deal” and said there was no need to hurry out of his suit.

Virts and Wilmore installed two sets of antennas Sunday, as well as 400 feet (122 metres) of cable for this new communication system. They unreeled 364 feet (111 metres) of cable on Feb. 21 and last Wednes-day.

It was complicated, hand-intensive work, yet the astronauts managed to wrap up more than an hour early Sunday, for a 5 ½ -hour spacewalk. Their three outings spanned 19 hours.

“You guys have done an outstanding job,” Mission Control radioed, “even for two shuttle pilots.”

Sunday’s 260-mile (418-kilometre)-high action un-folded 50 years to the month of the world’s first spacewalk.

Soviet Alexei Leonov floated out into the vacuum of space on March 18, 1965, beating America’s first

spacewalker, Gemini 4’s Edward White II, by just 2 ½ months. Leonov is now 80; White died in the Apollo 1 fire on the launch pad in 1967.

“It’s amazing ... to see how far we’ve come from the very first steps outside,” Virts said.

On Sunday — just like Wednesday — a little water got into Virts’ helmet once he was back in the air lock and the chamber was being repressurized.

Virts said it seemed to be about the same amount of water, maybe slightly more, but dried quickly. He didn’t need any towels this time when his helmet came off.

“I couldn’t feel it on my skin. I could just see the thin film on the visor,” he told Mission Control.

Engineers concluded last week it was the result of condensation during the repressurization of the air lock, and a safe and well understood circumstance that had occurred several times before with the same spacesuit.

Virts was never in danger either day, according to NASA, and no water leaked into his helmet while he was outdoors.

Wilmore’s much newer suit functioned perfectly during the first two spacewalks, but on Sunday morn-ing, a pressure sensor briefly malfunctioned before he floated out. A mechanical gauge, however, was operating fine. Mission Control instructed Wilmore to pay extra attention to how his suit was feeling.

Wilmore is due to return to Earth next week fol-lowing a 5 ½ -month mission. Virts is midway through his expedition. Russian Soyuz spacecraft carried them both up, with NASA paying for the multimil-lion-dollar rides.

To save money and stop being so reliant on the Russian Space Agency, NASA has hired Boeing and SpaceX to develop spacecraft capable of transport-ing astronauts to the space station. The two contracts

are worth nearly $7 billion. SpaceX already is deliv-ering cargo under a separate agreement with NASA.

NASA expects to buy Russian Soyuz seats for its astronauts through 2018 in case the two companies miss their promised 2017 launch deadline.

Northerners debate uranium mine and caribou effectsBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BAKER LAKE, Nunavut — Hilu Tagoona was just a girl the first time uranium miners proposed to develop a massive deposit of the radioactive metal near her home town of Baker Lake, Nunavut.

“I was about 11,” she says. “I spent many an hour listening to (presentations), spending time at the hearings.”

Now, at 37, she’s about to relive her childhood as final hearings begin Monday before the Nunavut Impact Review Board on a second proposal to even-tually build a mine on the tundra. As a spokeswoman for the anti-uranium group Makitagunarningit, her opinion on it hasn’t changed.

“Our big concern is the caribou and their calving grounds.”

French nuclear giant Areva is proposing to build one underground and four open-pit mines just west of Baker Lake, on the edge of the calving grounds of one of the North’s great caribou herds and near the largest and most remote wildlife sanctuary on the continent.

The $2.1 billion project would provide at least 400 jobs, many reserved for local Inuit. Its annual pay-roll would be $200 million for at least 17 years.

Areva has been considering the project since at least 1997. Its current plans have been before the regulator since 2007.

“We believe we’ve got a very good environmental assessment,” said Areva spokesman Barry McCal-

lum. “We’re looking forward to participating in the hearings.”

Areva’s plans would empty part of a lake, build a road through the habitat of a declining caribou herd and stretch a bridge across a Canadian heritage river. Planes loaded with radioactive concentrate would take off from its airstrip and barges with the same cargo would leave from its dock on Baker Lake.

The road and mill that it proposes would make it easier for other mines to open. Those deposits are on calving grounds for caribou that aboriginals in three provinces and two territories depend on.

At the very least, some protections should be cre-ated for the calving grounds in advance of any indus-trial development being approved for the area, said Tagoona.

“The construction of this mine will make it so much more feasible for other mines to open,” she said. “There are no proper protective measures at this point for caribou, or a plan in place.”

And critics worry about Areva’s acknowledgment that uranium prices are currently so low that it could be up to two decades before construction of the mine actually begins.

“They cannot approve this and wait 20 years,” said Tagoona. “That’s not reasonable whatsoever. Every-thing will have changed.”

The Kivalliq Wildlife Board, which manages wild-life in the region under the Nunavut Land Claim, says it’s “firmly opposed” to Kiggavik until protec-tions for the calving ground are in place and Areva commits to a start date.

Ryan Barry, director of the review board, said it’s unusual for a company to admit they don’t plan to start an approved project anytime soon. But he sug-gested those concerns could be addressed by adding conditions forcing Areva to revisit parts of its envi-ronmental assessment if the delay is too long.

“There’s a lot you can do with recommendations,” he said. “There is the ability to put some restrictions in place.”

McCallum said Areva has been working with the community for years, opening an office in Baker Lake and flying residents to its uranium mines in northern Saskatchewan, where it has set up meet-ings with local aboriginals.

“I definitely think we’ve had some success,” he said. “Questions are answered honestly and openly.”

But there’s so much at stake. The area caribou harvest has been valued at $20 million a year, at a time when northerners are more concerned than ev-ery about high food prices.

And there are so many unknowns — the effects of the mine itself, the amount of development that fol-lows along the road it builds, the state of the herds and the environment by the time the project actually begins.

Tagoona hopes that after the next two weeks of hearings that history will repeat itself.

“I have some recollection of the first fight and our success in that,” she said.

“I think that this will be a never-ending battle, but if we stave it once again, that would be a success for us.”

WASHINGTON — The first peek at a major study of how Americans smoke suggests many use combi-nations of products, and often e-cigarettes are part of the mix.

It’s a preliminary finding, but it highlights some key questions as health officials assess electronic cigarettes.

“Are e-cigarettes a step toward a cigarette smoker getting off of cigarettes? Or are e-cigarettes a crutch so they can get nicotine in places and times when they wouldn’t normally be allowed to smoke ciga-rettes?” asked Dr. Andrew Hyland of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the primary investigator for a huge government study of trends in smoking and tobacco use.

Hyland’s study is one of a number of projects that scientists are watching as they explore the public health implications of e-cigarettes. Here are some things to know:

MULTIPLE SOURCES OF NICOTINEAt a meeting of nicotine researchers late Thurs-

day, Hyland presented preliminary findings from the first 20,000 people to enrol in the study, a baseline as the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health track how use of tobacco prod-ucts, or alternatives like tobacco-free e-cigarettes, is evolving.

A fraction — 28 per cent of adults and nearly 9 per cent of youths — reported they currently use any type of tobacco product, Hyland said.

About 40 per cent of those current tobacco us-ers report using two or more products. And half say battery-powered e-cigarettes are one of the multiple products they use, Hyland found. In fact, the most common combination was cigarettes and e-ciga-rettes.

Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA’s Center for To-bacco Products, said the early findings showing use of more than one type of tobacco product are com-pelling and underscore “how popular e-cigarettes have become.”

Ultimately, the PATH study — it stands for Popu-lation Assessment of Tobacco and Health — will fol-low 46,000 people ages 12 and older over five years, a source of information as FDA decides how to regu-late tobacco-related products.

WHY THE EXTRA INTEREST IN E-CIGARETTES?

Policymakers are debating the health effects of “vaping” as it grows in popularity. Many anti-smok-ing advocates consider e-cigarettes a safer alterna-tive for smokers who can’t or don’t want to quit alto-gether.

E-cigarettes work by heating liquid nicotine in-to an inhalable vapour. They contain fewer toxic substances than burning traditional cigarettes. But health officials warn that they shouldn’t be consid-ered harmless and say much more needs to be known

about long-term effects.Critics ask if they keep smokers addicted or even

act as a gateway to hook new users who eventually try tobacco.

ADULTS VS. KIDSConcern about e-cigarettes grew after a different

government study in December found some teens who’d never smoked a real cigarette were trying out the electronic kind.

“Is it a passing fancy or something that sticks with them?” Dr. Wilson Compton, deputy director of NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, said in an interview with The Associated Press. He hopes that over the next few years, the new PATH study will help tell.

The FDA has proposed regulating e-cigarettes,

including banning sales to minors, a step that many states already have taken.

HOW MUCH NICOTINE?No one knows if experimenting with e-cigarettes

poses as much risk of hooking someone as experi-menting with regular cigarettes, Compton said.

Nicotine levels vary widely by type of e-cigarette, from small amounts to nearly as much as a tradi-tional cigarette, he said. Users learn to puff a bit dif-ferently as they draw in vapour, and even the voltage in the device’s wires may affect nicotine delivery, he explained. NIDA plans to fund development of what Compton calls a “standard e-cigarette” that will be a yardstick for comparison with the different e-ciga-rettes on the market.

Still many questions about e-cigarettes

Company blames heat for why nasal spray flu vaccine didn’t work well in

kids against swine fluATLANTA — The makers of the nasal spray ver-

sion of the flu vaccine say now they know why it has failed to protect young U.S. children against swine flu — fragile doses got too warm.

The AstraZeneca FluMist vaccine works well for most flu strains, but small studies found it didn’t work very well against the swine flu bug that first emerged in 2009. Swine flu has returned each year since but wasn’t a big player this flu season.

The problem first came to light last year, when swine flu was behind most illnesses. At a medical meeting Thursday, company officials said they inves-tigated and concluded that the swine flu part of the vaccine is unusually sensitive to heat.

Flu vaccine is refrigerated, but it is allowed to be out at room temperature for up to two hours during distribution. The doses out on hot days were least effective, and company officials say it’s because they degraded and lost potency.

The company plans to use a more stable strain in the future.

FluMist is made using live but weakened virus, and is only approved for ages 2 to 49. Flu shots, made from killed virus, do not appear to be as vulnerable to heat, experts say.

In June, a federal scientific panel — the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — took the unusual step of advising doctors to give FluMist to healthy young kids instead of a shot, if available. For years, studies have indicated the nasal spray is the better choice for young children because it prompts a stronger immune response in kids who have never been sick with the flu.
