Theresa Kokesch, 86, and her daughter’s injured golden lab, Shelly. Kokesch was out for her daily walk when she encountered two pit bulls, which started dragging Shelly into the bush.
Two women — one an 86-year-old senior, the other a 27-year-old jogger — fought desperately with every-thing they had to save their dogs from separate vicious pit bull attacks along a walk-ing path in Rocky Mountain House on Monday.
“I was hollering like a mad banshee. ‘Get away! Go home! Stay away!’ and I kept swing-ing this big stick,” 86-year-old Theresa Kokesch told me on Tuesday.
Likewise, “I started scream-ing as loud as I could cause I didn’t know what to do,” said Jenna Ellefson, 27.
If it weren’t for a number of Good Samaritans coming to their rescue, the women be-lieve the two attacks by loose, marauding dogs could have
been worse.The owners of the injured dogs now face hundreds
of dollars in veterinarian bills.The incidents began when Ellefson was out on
for a jog with her dog Dakota on the Loop, a popular five-km trail in Rocky.
Ellefson had Dakota, a five-year-old Belgian shep-herd cross, on a leash. She heard other dogs vicious-ly barking at another dog on other side of the fence.
This isn’t good,” she decided, and turned around, but suddenly dogs that she describes as three pit bulls charged toward her and Dakota.
“At this time, I’m terrified. I know what’s going to happen and they attacked my dog, and all this bark-ing, growling and biting her, and she’s yelping and they’re like literally dragging her away from me.
“I looked around and found a stick and was hitting one of the dogs that had Dakota around the neck.
“The stick was like breaking on (the attacking dog’s) back. So I had no stick left so I start kicking them cause I’m thinking they’re going to kill her. There’s three of them.
“I kicked so much that I could hardly even kick anymore because I was so exhausted.
“They weren’t letting go. ... It was like I was a fly or something, so I’m just screaming as loud as I pos-sible can.”
Three high school students showed up, as did two men, one of whom saw what was happening as he drove by on the highway. He stopped his white van and ran to help. One of the students called 911.
“Finally we got the dogs off. ... It took all those people kicking and hitting them.”
But it wasn’t quite over. One of the attacking dogs came back.
“We had to beat him off again.“At that point I just realized holy crap what just
happened to me and I just burst into tears. ...“There’s kids and babies and strollers and fami-
lies on (the Loop). Like you wouldn’t think that it wasn’t safe,” said Ellefson.
‘I’m alive, I’m safe’BY PAUL COWLEYADVOCATE STAFF
A Red Deer woman caught in the earthquake in Nepal is safe.
Beverly Williams was able to contact her longtime part-ner Michael Dawe early on Tuesday morning that she is OK.
“We don’t have any de-tails,” said Dawe on Tuesday morning. “All we did was got an email that said, ‘I’m alive, I’m safe.’ ”
Dawe, who is running as a Liberal and Green candidate in Red Deer North, said he was driving to Tuesday morn-ing’s election forum at the Golden Circle when he got a
phone call from the wife of Beverly’s business part-ner, who is in Kathmandu, confirming the news.
“I’m not sure where she is, but she was not killed or badly injured in the earthquake — and that’s all I needed to know.”
In a brief Facebook post, she wrote: “Hello ev-eryone. Finally on line for one second. I was in the earthquake and it was horrible. Write later.”
Dawe and other family and friends had been anx-iously waiting word since the massive quake shook Nepal on Saturday, killing more than 5,000 and injur-ing at least 10,000.
“I was watching CNN at one o’clock in the morn-ing on Friday night and early Saturday morning and they said there was a big earthquake and I realized that’s exactly where she was.”
But for days he had no word, hoping the silence was due to chaotic communications rather than bad news.
“We hoped for the best,” he said.Beverly Williams

Red Deerians feeling less safe
BY CRYSTAL RHYNO
ADVOCATE STAFF
Red Deerians feel less safe in the city than they did four years ago, according to the city’s 2015 Per-ceptions of Crime Survey.
The city released details from the survey that polled 475 residents about their feelings on safety and policing this week.
Respondents were polled on safety overall, neigh-bourhoods, downtown Red Deer and crime concerns. The poll was conducted by phone and online in January. The last safety perception survey was con-ducted in 2011.
On the subject of violent crime in neighbour-hoods, 66 per cent of respondents felt extremely safe or very safe, compared to 79 per cent in 2011.

RAMPAGE: ‘These dogs were out to kill’
Two of the dogs, one brown, one black, then car-ried on down the path. And at about 11:15 a.m., they encountered Theresa Kokesch, who was out for her daily walk with Shelly, her daughter Audrey Kokesch’s six-year-old golden Labrador, on a leash.
When the dogs began to attack the lab, Theresa was unable to pull them off. She also tried to kick them. They started dragging Shelly into the bush.
“They did leave once but they came right back again and I finally picked up this big honking branch and that’s what finally drove them away.
“But they just stood apart until help came down the path. There were people that came finally and helped me.”
One of the people who came to help was a woman who was pushing a handicapped girl in a wheelchair. She started beating the two dogs with a stick as well. She helped keep them at bay so that Theresa could grab Shelly.
“Shelly ... kind of crawled to me and she was all bleeding with her leg hanging ... I was just almost hysterical.” She asked a man to call her daughter. The man and the high school students helped carry Shelly to Audrey’s car so she could be taken to the vet.
Audrey said her mother is visually impaired. “She’s kind of like Mr. Magoo. Everybody knows her. ... Like she’s 90 pounds, 86, four-foot nothing.”
“Right now I am sore and tired,” said Theresa.“You keep reliving the incident. What should I
have done? What did I do or what didn’t I do that I should have, and I keep seeing those two dogs chew-ing away at Shelly and not being able to pull them off. I tried that. I tried kicking,” said Theresa.
“I’m sorry to say that I don’t like (pit bulls) very much because of the way they behaved and treated Shelly and me. I have heard through the years ‘Oh that’s not true. They’re nice dogs.’ All of a sudden, you know, they were right on her.
“They just went at her right away. Just so vicious. The throat area and her leg is just gone more or less. They pulled the muscle and skin right of the bone. No I don’t like them very much at all,” Theresa said, who was taken to the hospital to be checked out and has soft-tissue injuries.
Police reports have been filed. Rocky Mountain House RCMP did not want to comment, referring me
instead to Alberta Animal Services, which is con-tracted by the town.
Alberta Animal Services did not return my phone call before deadline.
However, Todd Becker, Town of Rocky chief ad-ministrative officer, said two of the pit bulls were captured and are now being assessed. The other is believed to have made it back to its owner in Rocky, where it may still be.
“As a town, our primary responsibility is to en-sure the citizens and visitors of Rocky Mountain House are safe. Obviously when people and animals are subject to an attack ... I certainly have a serious concern about that.
“This is of course a priority of their’s (enforce-ment team) and they will be continuing on with the investigation and ... any actions based on that inves-tigation needs to be moved forward expediently as possible.
“In this case there are several witnesses who have come forward to provide statements.”
Meanwhile, Ellefson’s vet bill was initially $663 and is expected to rise.
Dakota has several puncture marks to her legs, ears, face and a tear under an armpit.
“Dakota will survive, thank God. If I didn’t scream as loud as I screamed no one would have known what was happening and I have no doubt she would have been killed in front of me.”
Audrey Kokesch’s vet bill was $1,200 and is also expected to increase with further treatment. A muscle was torn off Shelly’s right leg. The dog has so many stitches, Audrey can’t count them.

SURVEY: Communitysafety a priority
When it came property crime, 30 per cent of the respondents felt extremely safe or very safe com-pared to 50 per cent in 2011.
Mayor Tara Veer said city council has made com-munity safety a priority in response to community concerns.
“While overall two-thirds of our citizens think Red Deer is a safe place to live, the downtown area is an identified concern for the public,” said Veer. “In response to this we are working to proactively to create a more inviting place downtown.”
A total of 61 per cent of those polled said down-town Red Deer is safe during the day.
But 69 per cent disagreed that downtown is safe at
night.Recent initiatives such as the Greater Downtown
Action Plan, the Social Policy framework and the Community Alcohol and Drug Road Map will direct positive change, said Veer.
The city also formed an ad hoc Community Safety Committee that will develop a strategic plan for crime prevention and community safety among its duties earlier this year.
Veer said the perception survey is just as impor-tant as statistics because they influence choices by residents. The Red Deer RCMP also released its annual policing plan on Monday that sets out focus areas for the year.
The survey also showed:● Thirty per cent of those polled were either a
victim of a violent crime (eight per cent of those who responded positively) or a property crime (94 per cent of those who responded positively) in the 12 months leading up to the survey.
● Eighty per cent of victims of a violent crime said they were not satisfied with police response.
● Sixty-three per cent of the victims of property crime said they were satisfied with police response.
● Fifty-seven per cent said the sale and the use of illegal drugs are the root causes of crime.
● Thirty-four per cent were most concerned about the use and dealing of drugs, drug houses and issues surrounding drugs.
● Sixty-two per cent of residents are most con-cerned about property crime.
● Thirty-two per cent of respondents would like an increase in visibility and police patrols to make them feel safe in their neighbourhoods.

WILLIAMS: Trying to find ways to get her home
Williams went to the area on a buying trip for her business Woollen Wonders and while there took a seven-day hiking trip in the Himalayan Foothills. That’s where she was when the 7.8 Richter Scale earthquake hit.
Now, they are trying to find ways to get her home. The Kathmandu Airport is badly damaged.
“My brother-in-law has business connections in New Delhi (India). So we’ll probably have to find some way to get her down to New Delhi so we can fly her out,” Dawe said.

Multiplex price tag still climbing
BY PAUL COWLEYADVOCATE STAFF
The cost of Sylvan Lake’s new multiplex has jumped almost 10 per cent to $33.5 million as council got the latest price estimates and approved some de-sign changes.
Town council voted on Monday to boost the proj-ect’s cost by $2.95 million rather than lose key up-grades, including the option of converting the five-sheet curling rink into an NHL-sized ice surface, which carries a price tag of $1.6 million.
New additions to the project include upgrades to the Aquatic Centre’s aging air handling systems ($350,000), matching exterior cladding with existing and new parts of the facility ($970,000) and develop-ing program space in the area set aside for future rink expansion ($275,000).
Other recommendations that came out of a three-day workshop with engineers, cost estimators, design team members, town staff and architects include: heated entrance pads to melt snow, adding an Aquat-ic Centre sprinkler system, and improvements to lobby, kitchen and concession among other changes.
The project task force, which includes councillors, community-at-large members, and representatives of local sports, community and seniors groups, consid-ered but rejected the elimination of the additional rink expansion potential to save money.

CALGARY — Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley says Premier Jim Prentice is fearmongering when he accuses her of turning her back on the oil industry and job creation.
Notley has said that if she wins next Tuesday’s election, she will hold a review of the province’s roy-alty structure to ensure that Albertans are getting a fair return for their non-renewable resources.
Prentice says that would hurt the industry and un-dermine public confidence in Alberta.
Royalties are paid by energy companies to devel-op the province’s oil and gas resources.
“Albertans know that the last thing that this prov-ince needs right now is a royalty review, because it will undermine business confidence at the very worst possible time,” the Tory leader said during a campaign stop in Calgary on Tuesday.
“The last time we did this it cost us billions and billions of dollars of investment and thousands and thousands of jobs. It’s the last thing we should do.”
The government of former premier Ed Stelmach increased royalty rates in 2007, but rolled them back after major criticism from the oil and natural gas industry and a serious loss of investment in the province. Producers suggested royalty increases
compounded the effects of falling demand and low prices during the 2008 economic downturn.
Notley, who was also in Calgary, scoffed at Pren-tice’s criticism.
“I think he’s definitely fearmongering, but I don’t think Albertans are buying it,” she said.
“I don’t exactly know how a review would be dev-astating one way or another. I don’t know how talk-ing to Albertans, with Albertans, in an independent, transparent accountable forum about a resource that belongs to Albertans is going to kill the industry.”
Prentice called the election a year earlier than required to gain a mandate for his budget, which he calls a transformational blueprint for the next de-cade.
The theory was Prentice would cruise to another majority with the opposition in disarray, but polls are suggesting there’s a tight, three-way race among the Tories, the Wildrose and the NDP. Notley, whose party has never held more than 16 seats in Alberta, is coming off a leader’s debate last week that most pundits say she won.
The Progressive Conservatives have since been hammering away at the NDP on energy matters.
Prentice chided Notley on Monday for her prom-ise to take a hands-off approach on two pipeline projects to get Alberta oil to the coast.

Notley dismisses ‘fearmongering’
MULTIPLEX: Councilkeeping its options open
Town communications officer Joanne Gaudet said given Sylvan’s continued growth, largely driven by incoming young families, council felt it best to keep its options open.
“In the end, this allows us to expand to a third ice surface if required,” she said.
Dave Brand, Sylvan Lake’s public works manager, said if the expansion was not included the town would face a much larger bill if it wanted to build a stand-alone arena in the future.
“It’s about function. Certainly we could build a cheaper building, but then it would be less function-al and in five, 10 or 15 years from now people might look back and say why didn’t they just spend the ex-tra $2.95 million back then.”
Council’s biggest debate in a special meeting on Monday to discuss the project revolved around whether to reduce program space to save money or stick to the original
Also dismissed by the task force were proposals to switch the curling rink and hockey arenas to pre-engineered buildings at a possible cost savings of nearly $3 million.
However, those changes would mean delaying opening by up to six months and could see cost increases in other portions of the budget, says the report.
However, the task force did recommend construc-tion changes that will save about $720,000.
To cover the cost increases, council proposes boosting the amount of provincial Municipal Sus-tainability Initiative funding to $4.6 million from $2.6 million, while reducing costs on Lakeshore Drive and Centennial Street projects. Council also plans to raise the target for funding from fundraising, corpo-ration donations and sponsorships to $3 million from $2 million. The amount the town plans to borrow would remain unchanged at $13 million.

Pamphlets from Christine Moore, Progressive Conservative candidate in Red Deer North, told some Riverside Meadows residents to vote at the wrong polling station.
Moore’s campaign is apologizing for the mistake and are preparing letters correcting the information to affected residents, said Linda Yargeau, campaign co-manager.
“This afternoon (Tuesday) we mistakenly deliv-ered some voter cards to a few of the wrong houses,” said Yargeau. “We got onto the wrong side of the street.
“Residents will receive a letter of correction with the correct information and an apology from our of-fice.”
Riverside Meadows is split into several polling stations, with some residents voting at Fairview School and others voting at Koinonia Christian School.
Michael and Teresa Shea were told to vote at the Koinonia Christian School, at 6014 57th Ave., in a let-ter from Election Alberta that was left at their home.
Brenda Williams, returning officer for Red Deer North, confirmed on Tuesday that the correct poll-ing station for the couple was the Koinonia Christian School.
However, a pamphlet from Moore’s campaign told the couple their polling station was at Fairview School, at 5901 55th St.
The Sheas have voted at the Fairview School in the past, for the federal election in 2012 and the mu-nicipal election in 2013.
Williams said she would be in communication with the Moore campaign regarding proper polling stations.
“I have no problem with them sending stuff out,” said Williams. “Maybe they need to check with us should they be in doubt as to where to vote.”
Voters are encouraged to verify the polling station they should attend on election day, May 5, by visiting www.elections.ab.ca or by calling 1-877-422-8683. Polls are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day.
Advanced voting for Red Deer North is available today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Returning Officer Office, at Bay 3 4664 Riverside Dr.
Candidates running in Red Deer North include Moore, Buck Buchanan for the Wildrose, Michael Dawe for the Liberal and Green parties, Krystal Kromm for the Alberta Party and Kim Schriener for the NDP.
Supply issue knocks out powerto most of Red Deer
About two-thirds of Red Deer lost power on Tues-day afternoon for a short period and early reports suggest it was a supply issue.
Jim Jorgenson, Red Deer Electric Light and Pow-er manager, said they were still investigating the cause and scope of the outage.
“The substation on the north side of town and the one downtown by Taylor Drive were off power,” said Jorgenson. “That indicates the big supply issue and we’re trying to figure out what’s going on with it.”
Sylvan Lake taxes going up 2%Sylvan homeowners will see their total tax bill
jump two per cent this year.The increase, which combines both municipal and
school taxes and transportation and recreation lev-ies will mean an annual increase ranging from about $156 to $305 in three sample properties provided to council on Monday.
Council earlier agreed to hold the line on non-residential municipal taxes as an economic develop-ment incentive.

The barbarians are at the gate again — and this time the dynasty is having trouble with the drawbridge.
As the Alber-ta election cam-paign enters its final full week, the Progressive C o n s e r v a t i v e dynasty — the country’s lon-gest ever — is being entrusted to the increas-ingly shaky grip of leader Jim Prentice.
Of course , we’ve been here before.
Three short years ago, the dynasty was about to unravel under Alison Redford before a late eruption of intolerance and bigotry sank Wil-drose under Danielle Smith and kept the dynasty chugging along into years 42, 43, 44.
Both women are now political foot-notes and Prentice, the suave, experi-enced, former Stephen Harper cabinet minister, came charging in to protect one-party rule and calm everything down.
Instead, he has done everything he can to lose.
Whether Prentice has lost the fire,
whether a hiatus from politics has left him rusty, whether he believed this election was a walk in the park and is rattled — or whether plunging oil prices have finally signalled a fin de régime — he is in trouble.
He is running behind Brian Jean, the leader of Wildrose, a party that tried to euthanize itself but was lifted off its deathbed by supporters who re-fused to follow former leader Smith off the cliff in a historic defection.
Jean, a former Conservative MP, has been on the job four whole weeks.
And, most remarkably, Prentice is running behind the NDP — yes, the NDP in Alberta — under the smooth leadership of Rachel Notley.
Jean and Notley did not exactly take juggernauts into this campaign. Noth-ing indicated either was anywhere but the wilderness, certainly not on the cusp of history.
Jean had a caucus of five in the 87-seat legislature, only three of whom ran again. Notley had a caucus of four and a history of party futility in a prov-ince that dismissed any political pre-tender cloaked in orange.
Prentice has done all he could to make this a race.
Before he even went to the people, he told them to “look in the mirror” if they wanted to see who was respon-sible for the economic woes here.
Then, faced with a $7-billion hole blown in government revenues, he un-
veiled a budget that featured 59 sepa-rate tax and fee hikes in a province that believes it is its divine right to avoid taxes felt elsewhere in the coun-try.
But Prentice left corporate taxes alone.
There was immediate blowback. Prentice went to the polls anyway — a year before he had to under fixed date legislation.
He has backtracked on the reduc-tion of the tax credit for charitable donations. He came across sounding sexist when, taking a shot at Notley’s botched numbers in her economic platform, told her “I know that math is difficult.”
On Saturday, he lost his justice min-ister, who resigned because he is tied up in litigation with his estranged wife. For those who like metaphors, his cam-paign bus was rammed from behind by his security detail.
But the Alberta status quo has seven days to snap back.
Notley’s ascension could be her ul-timate downfall if this province awak-ens to a realization that it could elect an NDP government or a minority with the NDP holding the balance of power.
“Alberta is not an NDP province,” Prentice declared on Saturday.
And so the PC guns are trained on the 51-year-old NDP leader, the daugh-ter of a one-time iconic NDP leader who died young in a plane crash.
Over the weekend, it was her com-ment that she would not push the Northern Gateway pipeline that would transport Alberta bitumen across Brit-ish Columbia to a port at Kitimat, B.C.
The PCs pounced, but Notley was surely stating the obvious. Even Harp-er Conservatives in Ottawa are silent about the diminished prospects of Northern Gateway.
Prentice, himself, has talked about the difficulty of overcoming aborigi-nal opposition and the problems with the Kitimat terminus, but Saturday he was (wrongly) accusing Notley of being against all pipelines. The NDP leader does support the Kinder Morgan pipe-line in British Columbia and Energy East.
And who came riding to her de-fence?
That would be Smith, once the right-wing barbarian at the gate, now watch-ing the man she embraced from the sidelines, chastened and bruised, re-minding voters that Notley does cham-pion other pipelines.
That may show us two things — the fear factor may have to be ramped up before the drawbridge can be closed and it is mighty difficult to tell the players without a program in a prov-ince where the status quo was once the only sure thing.

Alberta’s changing tide
Restaurant’s sick policywastes money, intimidates staff
My 15-year-old son began his first employment opportunity approximately six months ago for a res-taurant here in Red Deer. I do not wish to have any legal repercussions.
A couple months into his employment, he came down with a cold/flu bug and instead of possibly in-fecting his fellow staff as well as the public, he chose to be responsible and advise management of his ill-ness.
The management informed him that it was their policy that any absence due to illness must be fol-lowed up with a doctor’s note upon the employee’s return.
I believed that a quick call to the restaurant by a parent would elevate the need for a doctor’s note since his ailment was simply the common cold and who would want to waist a professional’s time and the taxpayers dollars to appease their concerns?
Well, it turns out that indeed a doctor’s note was necessary as the management went on to say that when he was hired, he signed an employee agree-ment that included this practice in their policy.
I’m a logical individual and can only assume that the management incorporated this policy due to in-creased absentees.
It’s easy to see that the majority of the employees working at this particular restaurant are students and I think we can all agree that teenagers are not always the most reliable demographic in the work-force.
In my opinion this is nothing more than lazy man-agement. Instead of taking the time to manage their employees and weed out the delinquent workers, they instead create a policy that not only intimidates their workforce to show up regardless of their per-sonal health, but puts at risk the health of their co-workers and the public.
So thanks for putting an unnecessary strain on our health-care system to babysit your employees. I’m no lawyer but I believe one must be of legal age to enter into a contract and hold the contents binding?

Time for government auditsof boards and commissions
“About 80 agencies, boards, and commissions will be eliminated to cut costs, said Progressive Conser-vative Leader Jim Prentice,” said the front page of the Red Deer Advocate on April 16.
The elimination of these entities if redundant and ineffective could save money but if they are effective and an obstacle to govern, then the cuts may actu-ally cost money while making the government’s job easier.
Recently, the media reported a provincial board recommended the hiring of four officers to increase the protection of children in the government’s care and increase funding for the auditor general, but the premier said no, and this so-called independent body retracted their recommendation. Perhaps a good candidate for their consideration of eliminat-ing: to make governing easier and less risk of embar-rassment.
In Ottawa, we recently witnessed the House Pub-lic Safety Committee undertake an expensive and
high-profile study of Bill C-51. The Anti-Terror Bill, only to have the Prime Minister’s Office offer some minor amendments. A costly pretense in democracy would be the best way of putting it.
The City of Red Deer recently announced an un-dertaking to establish new guidelines for commit-tees, possibly merging, eliminating, or changing their roles and responsibilities.
I have been a strong supporter of operational audits within government for quite awhile, and an audit of the agencies, boards, commissions and com-mittees may be in order for all levels of government.
Separate them into political and non-political, and when possible move away from the political bod-ies. Appoint members based on skills and interests and not on political affiliations.
Then place them into three categories: proactive, reactive and inactive and simply eliminate the inac-tive bodies.
Perhaps by emphasizing the proactive groups you may have less need of the reactive bodies.
Then do a historic value check on the different bodies and see what constructive advice or service they had offered in the last few years.
There are many important agencies, commissions, boards and committees that offer invaluable sup-port to governing entities but there are many that are showpieces that are mainly rubber-stamps, and cheerleaders for the bureaucracy and their political leaders.
What is the rationale for an advising body and the appointments? Are patronage appointments or re-wards for helping in the electing of a politician being the reason for filling a spot? The body offers a smoke screen or support for legislation? Then perhaps, they
need to be eliminated.If a body offers real advice, understands the is-
sues, is up to date on events, can create and offer a coherent piece of advice and is actually listened to, then it should not be cut even if it is a pain in the side of the politicians and the bureaucracy. If these groups are cut, then laws and legislation could be enacted that could be less than cost effective and contradicts its very intent.
The prime minister, the premier and the mayor should all undertake an audit of all agencies, boards, commissions and committees and find their true val-ues.
Which ones are window dressings and which ones are the windows? Who controls and who is being con-trolled? How often have you listened to a group and should you have? With 20/20 hindsight, would you have listened when you ignored or would you have ignored instead of listening?
Perhaps the merging of boards would be more valuable than as separate entities? Bodies that can-not allow for outside influences, issues and events could be much more effective if they were to allow? It is too easy to focus inward and on specifics, but they must adapt, explore and understand outside influences to be truly effective and perhaps be too valuable to be eliminated.
I truly hope that Prentice can eliminate 80 agen-cies, boards and commissions without incurring costs, destroying efficiencies, and maintaining the least effective bodies. I also hope that our prime minister and our mayor gives this issue serious con-sideration because it does have merit.

Multiple deaths in southern Alberta city spark big police investigation
LETHBRIDGE — Police in a southern Alberta city are investigating what they call the suspicious deaths of two men and a woman.
The bodies were discovered overnight in a unit of an older townhouse complex on the west side of Lethbridge.
“We know that it’s a violent scene,” deputy police chief Colin Catonio said Tuesday.
“We received a call around 2:30 this morning. It was a check on welfare of the occupants of the resi-dence. Officers arrived and confirmed that there were three people inside who were deceased.”
Catonio said investigators believe the three dead were targeted. Their names have not been released and there is no word on how they died.
No one is in custody.A wide area around
the scene was cordoned off while investigators in white jumpsuits checked for evidence.
Trial gets first look at pressure
cookers lined with nails
VANCOUVER — A B.C. Supreme Court jury has had a firsthand look inside a pair of pressure cookers that were alleg-edly made into bombs and left to detonate out-side the provincial legis-lature.
A sheriff carrying the devices walked slowly along the jury bench while the 14 grim-faced jury members peered into the stainless steel containers, which were still lined with nails.
John Nuttall and Amanda Korody are on trial for allegedly plot-ting to set off the de-vices on the legislature grounds on Canada Day 2013.
On Monday, the trial was shown video taken by undercover officers and CCTV cameras of the accused terrorists stashing bags allegedly containing the pressure-cooker bombs on either side of the legislature building.
Nuttall and Korody’s arrest was the result of a months-long RCMP sting operation.
The pair have pleaded not guilty to four terror-ism-related charges.
Man charged after three people found dead in B.C. home
BURNS LAKE, B.C. — Three counts of second-degree murder have now been laid against a 54-year-old man from north-central British Columbia.
RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman says in a news release that police responded Monday morning to a call of foul play and found one woman and two men dead inside a residence in Burns Lake.
He says police believe the incident is isolated and that the public is not at risk.
Tyreman says local resident Rueben Buhler will appear in provincial court Wednesday on the charg-es.
The names of the three dead have not yet been released by police.
RCMP officers from four different units were helping Burns Lake Mounties in the investi-gation.
Burns Lake is located
about 1,000 kilometres north of Vancouver.
Remains of missing aboriginal woman discovered in Alberta woods
EDMONTON — The family of an aboriginal wom-an missing for the last decade says they are heart-broken but relieved that her remains have been found in Alberta.
Delores Dawn Brower, who went by the nickname Spider, was a sex-trade worker last seen hitching a ride in Edmonton in 2004. The 33-year-old was re-ported missing by her family a year later.
RCMP said Tuesday that remains discovered last week in a wooded area near Leduc, south of Ed-monton, have been linked to Brower through dental records.

Auditor takes aim at OttawaBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The quality of health care in remote First Nations communities is sorely lacking, the fed-eral auditor general reported Tuesday — a conclu-sion that aboriginal leaders call a further indictment of how they are being treated by Ottawa.
Health Canada can’t be sure that eligible First Nations members in remote parts of Manitoba and Ontario can access sufficient clinical and client care services and medical transportation, Michael Fergu-son’s spring report says.
The audit concluded that only one out of 45 nurses had completed mandatory Health Canada training to allow them to perform advanced duties such as immunization, cardiac life support and handling controlled substances — a problem the federal de-partment identified in 2010.
It also documented the dismal state of nursing sta-tions in the regions, noting that in one case, a nurs-ing station residence had been unusable for more than two years because of a broken septic system.
The report also found nurses had no support sys-tem in place when required to perform essential health services beyond their scope of practice. It al-so uncovered problems with the medical transporta-tion system that allows patients to receive treatment that’s only available outside their communities.
Some First Nations members were not properly registered for the transport benefit, and there was also a glaring lack of documentation to show that the health care was actually needed or delivered.
Ferguson’s findings are not news to vulnerable people who have long struggled to obtain access to
basic health care, said Nishnawbe Aski Nation Dep-uty Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler.
“The report is a strong indictment on Canada’s continued failure to provide a health care system that is equitable, that is accessible,” Fiddler said.
He said a pair of four-year-olds — a boy and a girl — died needlessly last year from strep throat, which could have been prevented with simple antibiotics.
Health Canada agreed with the auditor’s recom-mendations to fix those deficiencies, a development that the Liberal health critic, Dr. Carolyn Bennett, said could finally lead to progress.
“They’re now on record as to what they do about it,” Bennett said. “It’s a very straightforward pro-cess now, and we need to see the plan from Health Canada.”
Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief David Harper said he hoped Ferguson’s report would pave the way for gains in education and pre-vention to increase the long-term health of remote communities.
“At the same time, we need to educate our youth to become nurses and doctors.”
In separate audits included in Tuesday’s report, Ferguson also touched on some key planks of the government’s likely election platform — cutting tax-es and protecting Canadians by getting tougher with criminals.
The auditor found lacklustre efforts to rehabili-tate prisoners and a dearth of oversight governing boutique tax credits, the Conservative government’s election bauble of choice.
“We are concerned that the issues we are seeing today may be the symptoms of bigger problems in the future if they are not addressed quickly,” Ferguson
said.Ferguson found that lower-risk offenders are be-
ing released from prison later in their sentences and with less time supervised in the community because Correctional Service Canada recommends early re-lease less often.
Some 80 per cent of offenders were behind bars beyond their first parole eligibility date, while more offenders are being released directly from medium- and high-security penitentiaries.
A separate audit of Correctional Services Canada appeared to dovetail with the Conservative govern-ment’s tough-on-crime agenda, but stressed the safe-ty of the public is better served by a system than can offer rehabilitation before an inmate is set free.
It found that CSC officials made fewer recom-mendations for early release to the Parole Board in 2013-14 than in 2011-12, including low-risk offenders, who as a result ended up spending less time being supervised in the community before their sentences ended.
The audit said only one in five offenders had pa-role hearings when they were first eligible, while 54 per cent walked out of federal prisons at their statu-tory release date rather than being on parole earlier in their sentence.
The supervised release of offenders “who have demonstrated responsibility to change contributes to public safety,” it found.
But a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Ste-ven Blaney said in an email: “I am pleased that the auditor general found that our ’truth in sentencing’ measures have worked because more prisoners are staying behind bars for a greater portion of their sentence.”
INBRIEF
Homeless man charged in three deathsBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — Police believe the killer of three men who lived on Winnipeg streets was homeless himself.
John Paul Ostamas is accused of two counts of first-degree murder in the weekend deaths of Don-ald Collins, 65, and Stony Bushie, 48. He is also fac-ing charges of second-degree murder in the killing of Myles Monias, 37, following an assault in a bus shel-ter earlier this month.
Supt. Danny Smyth said Collins went into a laneway Saturday night with Ostamas where police
believe he was attacked and killed.“He was left for dead in the alley,” Smyth said at a
news conference Tuesday.A few hours later, Smyth said Ostamas encoun-
tered Bushie and they went to a downtown parkade.“Ostamas attacked and murdered Bushie within
the parkade and left him for dead,” Smyth alleged.Ostamas is originally from Thunder Bay, Ont., but
was staying at a Winnipeg homeless shelter.Following the killings, police released security
footage featuring a “person of interest,” who turned
out to be Ostamas. He knew both Collins and Bushie, Smyth said.
“I wouldn’t say they were friends,” Smyth said. “There is no motive that I’m aware of.”
Winnipeg police didn’t have much contact with Ostamas, but he has a record that includes multiple assaults in the Thunder Bay area dating back to 2002, said Smyth. Detectives are working with investiga-tors in other jurisdictions to determine if Ostamas should be considered a suspect in other crimes.
Ostamas had yet to appear in court on the murder charges.
The weekend killings sent a chill through the homeless community as police warned people living on the streets to be careful.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The governor of the Bank of Canada says he didn’t mean to surprise markets in recent months with his stunning interest-rate cut, his startling real estate projection and the grim adjective he chose to describe the country’s economic performance.
During testimony Tuesday before a parliamentary committee, Stephen Poloz was asked about his eyebrow-raising use of “atrocious” to describe the oil slump’s effect on the economy over the first three months of 2015.
Poloz also fielded questions about the central bank’s recent assessment that Canada’s real estate prices could be overvalued by as much as 30 per cent, even though it has stressed the country is not facing a housing bubble.
James Rajotte, the chairman of the House of Commons finance committee, asked Poloz if he was trying to shock the markets on purpose, particularly since analysts dissect his every word. Rajotte even suggested Poloz’s style was less measured than his predeces-
sor, Mark Carney.“It’s certainly not our intent to sur-
prise or to frighten people,” Poloz told parliamentarians.
The hearing Tuesday was the first chance for committee members to grill Poloz since his appearance in early November — right before already-tum-bling oil prices rolled off the cliff.
Since then, the bank released an estimate in December that housing prices were overvalued between 10 and 30 per cent. In January, the bank lowered its trend-setting interest rate to 0.75 per cent from one per cent — a cut that enticed consumers to pile on more debt, including mortgage debt.
On Tuesday, New Democrat MP Guy Caron noted to Poloz how foreign stud-ies have suggested Canada is staring at a classic housing bubble.
The governor dismissed the sugges-tion, reiterating the bank’s position there’s little evidence of bubble symp-toms.
For one, Poloz highlighted the lack
of highly speculative behaviour, such as people buying multiple houses with the purpose of selling them later on for profit. He also argued that home con-struction has been very much in line with demographic demand.
“So, there’s no excess, if you like,” said Poloz, who added the country isn’t seeing “truly runaway pricing” either.
Poloz said today’s overvalued hous-ing market is a necessary by-product of the effort needed to guide the economy through the Great Recession. In fact, he noted it would have been unusual for Canada to emerge from the crisis without inflated house prices, since the increased borrowing amid the low-er interest rates helped prop up the economy. Carolyn Wilkins, the Bank of Canada senior deputy governor who also appeared at Tuesday’s hearing, said the housing market is headed for a “soft landing” overall even with the decline of Alberta’s market, which was particularly sensitive to the collapse in crude prices.
Poloz has defended his decision to cut the overnight rate as insurance against the speed and magnitude of
the oil-price slide, which he described Tuesday as an “extremely uncertain situation.”
The governor insisted the rate re-duction has had a positive effect on the economy, though he acknowledged the evidence to back up that belief still re-mains “thin” at this point.
He did, however, offer some exam-ples of the positive signs.
Poloz noted how Canadians with flexible mortgage rates, and those who have recently renewed, are already enjoying lower payments. And compa-nies with existing export contracts are benefiting from “enormous” increas-es to their cash flows thanks to the weaker exchange rate. The rate cut, he reiterated, was necessary to buffer the economy from the bite of the lower oil prices, which led him to tell an inter-viewer last month that economic data for the first quarter of 2015 would look “atrocious.” The bank is projecting zero growth for the first few months of the year, but it predicts the economy will start accelerating as early as this spring with help from the strengthen-ing U.S. economy.

OTTAWA — The auditor general says the Finance Department is failing to properly manage a signa-ture move of the Harper govern-ment, the targeted tax credit, which the federal watch-dog describes as program spending by another name.
Popular, and heavily promot-ed, tax expendi-tures such as the children’s fitness tax credit and the first-time home buyers’ tax credit don’t get the kind of routine evaluation and public oversight required “to deter-mine if these tax measures are rel-evant and performing as intended.’
Moreover, auditor general Michael Ferguson found the Finance Depart-ment doesn’t provide future cost pro-jections for the tax breaks, which MPs should take into account when they debate budgets and public spending.
The report, released Tuesday, blunt-ly states that “overall we concluded that the department fell short on man-aging tax-based expenditures.”
The Conservative government has made an art of using boutique tax mea-sures — as opposed to broad-based tax cuts, direct subsidies or rebates — to curry favour with targeted groups of voters, all the while accusing its oppo-nents of “tax and spend” policies.
The Conservative approach was on
display Tuesday in the House of Com-
mons, where NDP Leader Tom Mulcair
reproached the government for its lax
oversight of tax giveaways.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper shot back that New Democrats believe “that somehow giving people more of their own money is taking something away from Canadians.”
“This is people’s own money,” said Harper. “We want to make sure more of it stays in their pockets and creates jobs and economic growth.”
The prime minister said the govern-ment will start providing cost projec-tions for tax measures for an addition-al two years.
Mulcair responded that 85 per cent of Canadians don’t benefit — an appar-ent reference to one specific tax mea-sure, income splitting for families with children up to age 18.
“Conservatives have introduced dozens of loopholes and boutique tax credits that help the wealthiest few,” Mulcair charged. “But they refuse to give even basic information about pre-cisely who benefits and how much the benefits costs.”
The latter point is essentially the auditor general’s critique. While MPs, at least in theory, get a chance every year to assess and vote on program spending through the budget process, as many as 140 tax measures largely es-cape scrutiny once they’re set in place.
“Even though they are things that are being deducted from the revenue side of the ledger, many of them need to be thought of as similar to direct spending programs,” Ferguson said at a news conference. “And they need to have that same type of oversight.”
The measures add up to “tens of billions of dollars annually,” accord-ing to the audit report. Finance does publish, separate from the budget, a tax expenditure and evaluation re-port, but Ferguson found it does not include valuable information that may be available in publications from oth-er departments, such as the Canada Revenue Agency.

Income tax filing deadline extended to May 5 due to
‘human error’OTTAWA — Canadians are getting
more time to file and pay their taxes due to a mistake by the Canada Revenue Agency.
The deadline for most Canadians was originally supposed to be the end of April.
However, a spokesman for Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay said that, due to a human error, a notification was sent last week to tax preparers indicating the deadline was May 5.
“Minister Findlay has made it clear that this incorrect information is unacceptable and therefore she has directed her officials to ensure no Canadians are penalized for the CRA’s error,” Carter Mann said in an email.
Canadians now have until May 5 to file their income tax return and pay any amounts they owe for the 2014 ta
year.The deadline for returns for the
self-employed and their spouses or common-law partners remains June 15.
Missing the tax filing deadline triggers penalties on any amounts owed to the CRA, as well as interest on the outstanding balance.
The Quebec government announced later on Tuesday it too is extending its deadline to May 5.
CRA extended the tax filing deadline for individuals to May 5 last year after the Heartbleed bug forced a five-day shutdown of its electronic services.
The CRA’s affected services last year included EFILE, NETFILE, My Account, My Business Account and Represent a Client.
The Heartbleed flaw allowed the contents of a computer server’s memory, including private data such as usernames, passwords and credit card numbers, to be revealed.
Some 900 social insurance numbers were stolen over a six-hour period due to the vulnerability in the CRA system.
Twitter stock tumbles after earnings results come out
before market closes
NEW YORK — Twitter’s stock is falling sharply after the company’s earnings — due to be released after the stock market closes — came out ahead of time.
Trading in its stock was halted Tuesday afternoon after word spread of the premature earnings release. When trading resumed, the stock fell more than 25 per cent.
Some reports say the earnings leaked out.
Bloomberg News cited research firm Selerity, which tweeted the results and said the report was “sourced” from Twitter’s website and was not the result of a “leak” or “hack.”
The company later posted the results on its website and emailed it to reporters.
Its adjusted earnings per share topped Wall Street estimates but revenue fell short of investors expectations.
GM Canada to hire 100 engineers for ’connected
car’ and environment research
OSHAWA, Ont. — General Motors
Canada says it plans to hire more than 100 software and controls engineers to support its development of the “con-nected car.”
The auto manufacturer is making the move as part of a plan to expand research into technologies that link vehicles to the Internet.
The “connected car” is a common industry term used to describe auto-mobiles that are equipped to share a variety of data online.
The information can range from basic GPS navigation to more complex details that can improve fuel economy or notify the driver of problems with the vehicle.
GM says the new hires will be fo-cused at the GM Canada engineering centre in Oshawa and its cold-weather testing facility in the northern Ontario community of Kapuskasing.
The automaker said in 2012 that it would spend $750 million on research and development by 2017 under a com-mitment to the federal and Ontario governments, which provided some of the money for a 2009 bailout of its U.S-based parent.
The federal government recently sold its General Motors shares for C$3.26 billion, or about US$35.61 each, and the province of Ontario sold its remaining General Motors holdings in February.

CALGARY — TransAlta Corp. (TSX:TA) may take another run at add-ing carbon capture technology to one of its Alberta coal plants, its CEO said Tuesday.
“It’s more than a glint in our eye,” Dawn Farrell told reporters following the power generator’s annual general meeting. But at this point, there are no solid plans ready to be approved, she said.
Farrell said the company is contem-plating capturing greenhouse gases from its Sundance plant 70 kilometres west of Edmonton — Western Canada’s largest coal-fired electrical generating facility — and selling the gas to oil pro-ducers in the province. Those produc-ers would inject the gas into mature
fields in order to coax more oil out.About three years ago, TransAlta
and its partners abandoned plans to build Project Pioneer, a $1.4-billion carbon capture project planned at TransAlta’s Keephills 3 plant.
The provincial and federal govern-ments were to take on some of the fi-nancial burden of Pioneer, touting car-bon capture technology as a key way to combat climate change.
But Farrell said any new carbon capture undertaking would have to be economically feasible without govern-ment money.
“I think those days are behind us,” she said. “It would have to be an eco-nomic project to go forward.”
The issue for Pioneer was that, at
the time, there wasn’t enough demand from oil companies to use the gas for that purpose when they were able to churn out so much crude by using fracking.
“We just couldn’t find a producer that was willing to make the invest-ment, but as people get through sort of their fracking dollars, they’re now starting to look at reservoirs that would work with CO2,” said Farrell.
“They tend to be different. You don’t frack those reservoirs and so that’s why it’s starting to come back up as a possibility now.”
Also on Tuesday, TransAlta said it had cut the workforce in its Canadian coal generating unit by 20 per cent in an effort to save money.
It said 164 positions have already been eliminated as a result of the reor-ganization, but only 27 were full-time layoffs.
The rest were through attrition, re-tirements and reassignments.
The move wasn’t made in response to market conditions — such as the downturn in oil prices that has had far-reaching impacts in Alberta — but rather to boost efficiency.
The company says it expects to save $12 million annually.
It incurred about $7 million in re-structuring costs during the first three months of 2015.
Farrell also said TransAlta is on the hunt for acquisitions — particularly renewable power generations through-out the United States.
During the first quarter, TransAl-ta posted net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $26 million, down from $47 million a year earlier.
Revenue was $593 million compared with $775 million in the same period in 2014.

TORONTO — Barrick Gold chair-man John Thornton says the miner will revamp its approach to executive com-pensation after a majority of its share-holders voted thumbs down in a non-binding say-on-pay resolution.
“We have heard you loud and clear,” Thornton told shareholders Tuesday at the company’s annual meeting in To-ronto, noting that Brett Harvey, head of the company’s executive compensa-tion committee, has been in talks with major investors.
“We will now take that feedback, we will go back and refine our system, particularly as it relates to me,” Thorn-ton said.
Roughly 75 per cent of the compa-ny’s shareholders voted against the executive compensation motion, ac-cording to preliminary results.
The Canada Pension Plan Invest-ment Board said last week it would be voting against Barrick’s plan on execu-tive pay and would withhold its vote for Harvey.
The concerns, raised by other in-stitutional investors, centre on Thorn-ton’s paycheque, which grew to $12.9 million in 2014 from $9.5 million the previous year — all while Barrick’s fi-nancial performance weakened.
Corporate governance expert Rich-ard Leblanc says the vote on executive compensation, while non-binding, may act as a form of moral suasion.
Last week, there was another no-table say-on-pay vote at the annual general meeting of the Canadian Im-perial Bank of Commerce in Calgary (TSX:CM).
Shareholders shot down the bank’s approach to executive compensation, with nearly 57 per cent of shares cast
against. It was the first time such a vote has gone that way at a major Canadian financial institution.
At issue were rich payouts to the bank’s former chief executive officer and chief operating officer — $25 mil-lion between the two of them, on top of their existing pensions.
Leblanc, an associate professor of law, governance and ethics at York University, said he’s happy to see big shareholders adopt “less of a Canadi-an, old-school, genteel mentality” and speak up.
“I think what CIBC and Barrick say is that investors are becoming less ac-cepting and less tolerant,” said Leb-lanc. “This is long overdue in Canada.”
Meanwhile, Barrick said it’s looking to sell a stake in the Zaldivar copper mine in Chile — a “consistently strong performer in the world’s best jurisdic-tion for copper mining.”
Potential buyers have “expressed strong interest” in taking a stake in the mine, it said.
As well, the miner says it’s on track to achieve its target of $30 million in savings from reduced general, admin-istrative and overhead costs in 2015, reaching $70 million in annualized savings in 2016. The gold miner also outlined a number of measures it is undertaking in an attempt to transform itself into a leaner, more profitable company. Thornton said the compa-ny has launched reviews of all of its mines to gauge their performance and determine which ones to put up for sale. Selling some of its non-core as-sets could free up the company’s cash flow and help it pay off its debt.
Co-president Kelvin Dushnisky said Barrick hopes to return to its past as a nimble, entrepreneurial company with minimal bureaucracy by “unclogging the arteries.”

TORONTO — A new study by Delo-itte has found that most Canadian com-panies aren’t prepared for how quickly they’ll be affected by major advances in technology such as robotics and arti-ficial intelligence.
The Canadian arm of the interna-tional consulting firm says only 13 per cent of the 700 companies in its study scored well, while 87 per cent were partially or completely unprepared for the magnitude and speed of change ahead.
In fact more than one-third — 35 per cent — scored poorly on all four of the key criteria that Deloitte used to mea-sure preparedness: awareness, innova-tion, agility and the ability to channel resources.
The study’s findings are consistent with other Deloitte research on Cana-
dian productivity, said Terry Stuart, a co-author of the 42-page report re-leased Tuesday.
“Canadian companies are generally risk-adverse,” Stuart said in an inter-view ahead of the study’s publication.
“They’re not investing as much as they need to in the technologies and capabilities and we’re seeing that ap-plied directly in these technology ar-eas that we studied.”
The study was especially interested in how Canadian companies were re-sponding to five types of technology with the potential to cause widespread disruption to what has become the usu-al manner of doing business: robotics, artificial intelligence, communications networks, manufacturing tools such as 3D printers and platforms for collabo-ration.

MARKETS CLOSETORONTO — The Toronto
stock market pushed ahead with a tiny gain on Tuesday as the gold sector emerged as one of the few shining examples in an otherwise dull session.
The S&P/TSX composite index closed near its highs of the day, rising 1.99 points to 15,346.07.
The loonie moved up 0.49 of a U.S. cent to 83.13 cents.
Driving the market were gold stocks, which climbed as the June bullion contract rose $10.70 to US$1,213.90 an ounce.
The TSX energy sector was the biggest decliner, falling 0.8 per cent, as benchmark crude oil gained seven cents to settle at US$57.06 a barrel.
Traders have been push-ing gold near its highest levels since early April, at least partly on the possibility that the U.S. Federal Reserve could delay hikes to its interest rate, said Colin Cieszynski, senior mar-kets analyst at CMC Markets Canada.
In New York, markets were mixed as the Fed began a two-day meeting on when it should start raising interest rates again.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 72.17 points at 18,110.14, the Nasdaq was down 4.83 points at 5,055.42 and the S&P 500 advanced 5.84 points to 2,114.76.
Earlier this year it was wide-ly predicted that U.S. interest rates would be bumped up in June, but the consensus ex-pectation has shifted towards it happening later in the year after recent weak economic data.
“It definitely has a lot of people thinking that maybe the U.S. economy isn’t as strong as people thought it was three months ago,” Cieszynski said in an interview.
“The signs are starting to point to a wider slowdown. Not going off the rails like we’re see-
ing in other parts of the world, but that perhaps the U.S. isn’t charging ahead quite as quickly as people thought.”
On Tuesday, the latest fig-ures showed U.S. consumer spending dropped to its lowest level in four months while weak-ness reflected in the latest tally on home prices added extra pressure to the markets.
A mixed bag of U.S. finan-cial results also came in with appliance maker Whirlpool slashing its annual forecast for 2015, Coach saying it was af-fected by the higher U.S. dol-lar and automaker Ford hurt by poor sales of key vehicles like the F-150 pickup.
Coming in above expecta-tions was technology giant Ap-ple Inc., which posted a record quarterly profit of $13.6 billion, and drugmaker Merck & Co. which faced currency pressures and weaker sales in its con-sumer health business.
Traders also reacted to the latest financial results from Twitter, which appeared to leak ahead of their scheduled release after stock markets closed. The company’s adjust-ed earnings per share came in above analyst expectations but its revenue fell short.
Shares of Twitter dropped three per cent before its stock was halted. When trading re-sumed, the stock dropped by more than 25 per cent.

BRUSSELS — Hopes for a deal on Greece’s bailout rose on Tuesday after the prime minister said he expected an agreement could be reached within two weeks and the European Union re-ported a pick-up in the negotiations.
Greek stocks rose and its sovereign borrowing rates dropped, a sign that international investors are less wor-ried about the country defaulting on its debts in coming weeks.
The European Union said Tuesday that Greece’s talks with its creditors were “being made more productive and efficient” as the country faces a growing cash crunch.
EU Commission spokeswoman An-nika Breidthardt said the pace of talks has “intensified” since a weekend meeting of eurozone finance ministers, where Greek minister Yanis Varoufa-kis came under intense pressure from his colleagues.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a television interview that ran into early Tuesday that he expected a deal
would be reached by May 9, in time for the next eurozone meeting.
Greece has to repay the Internation-al Monetary Fund a total of almost 1 billion euros by May 12. It is expected to have enough money to make that, if it manages to raise as much as it hopes from a move to grab cash reserves from local entities like hospitals and schools.
But it faces bigger repayments in June it will struggle to honour without more bailout cash.
Breidthardt refused to elaborate on reports of the sidelining of Varoufa-kis as the prime contact in the bailout talks beyond saying ministers were happy to talk to any Greek representa-tive, “as long as they have a mandate to negotiate.”
Varoufakis has been blamed by sev-eral officials as the main cause for the lack of progress in the bailout talks.
At a eurozone meeting last week in Riga, Latvia, he again failed to come up with a list of economic reforms creditors are demanding in exchange for the loans.

Fresh off earning silver as Esso Cup hosts on the weekend, the next stop for star defencemen Mairead Bast and Abagael Thiessen is the U18 national women’s summer strength and condi-tioning camp in Hamilton, Ont., from May 6-10.
This is the first step in making the U18 roster for next season and their goals of one day playing for Team Can-ada.
“I can only imagine, it would be breathtaking standing on the blue line in a Canadian jersey would really top off my dreams,” said Bast, 16.
After this camp there will be a sum-mer camp and then a three-game se-ries against Team U.S.A and further scouting.
For Thiessen, 16, this camp gives her a shot at some redemption. She was a late cut the last couple of years for Team Alberta, but she proved this season she was one of the elite defend-ers in Canada in her age group.
The five-foot-nine blue-liner was second on the Chiefs in scoring this Alberta Major Midget Female Hockey League season with 21 points (14 goals, seven assists) in 28 games.
But she was at her best when the team needed it most in the Esso Cup, in particular rallying the Chiefs with a goal and an assist in the final five minutes of their 3-2 shootout victory over the Central Plains Capitals to set up a semifinal date with the Saskatoon Stars.
She learned a lot from those experi-ences of trying out for the provincial team.
“Just to be mentally stronger and dealing with the heartache of getting cut,” said Thiessen. “I’ve never (been cut) in boys I usually made AA or A up until then, it was almost a shock the first year but it helps you deal with it in the future.”
This has been a big year for her al-ready, which also includes committing to NCAA hockey power University of North Dakota.
“It’s been amazing, it’s really nice to have the college part done in my Grade 11 year so I can really focus on just playing and having a little more fun with next year and having this op-portunity with Team Canada,” said Thiessen.
The five-foot-seven Bast is entering the camp with an open mind but with big expectations.
After spending the season playing
against the top midget aged players in Alberta and the past week against some of the top players in the country, she has a good idea of what to expect in Hamilton.
The camp will include some famil-iar names, having just played Sheridan Oswald of the Central Plains Capitals and Sophie Shirley of the Saskatoon Stars at the Esso Cup.
“I’m feeling pretty good right now,” said Bast. “We don’t like to talk about ourselves like that but I think I did pretty well (at the Esso Cup) and I’m not too nervous about (the competi-tion).
“The Esso Cup was a big exposure, just to let us know what else is out there and all of the different types of
girls and their skill level. It’s going to be nice heading into that camp having that added experience.”
However, the player Bast is most looking forward to seeing in Hamilton is Thiessen.
“That comfort level of her being there, it’s going to be a lot better be-cause you know you’re going to have someone to talk to at the end of the day,” she said.
Bast was fourth on the Chiefs in scoring with 12 points (6-6-12) but in just 18 games, and is currently trying to decide on her college hockey fu-ture. She also had a big Esso Cup scor-ing the shootout winner in the Chiefs’ win over the Capitals and then in their 2-1 semifinal win over the Stars to put
them in the gold medal game, which they lost 2-1 to Sudbury.
This camp will cap a big season for her and help put the pain of losing the Esso Cup gold medal behind her.
“This year has been incredible, just knowing that we were hosting nation-als it put a good vibe on life this year. It was fun getting prepared for it and being with the girls every day and go-ing to school and seeing them again, just being with them was awesome,” said Bast.
“It was a tough loss and hard to get over right now, but maybe when I get to Hamilton it will help get it off my mind.”

Flames to rely again on reserves of top three defencemen
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Calgary Flames head coach Bob Hartley believes in the recovery power of his big three on the blue-line.
T.J. Brodie, Kris Russell and Dennis Wideman have been heavily worked not only in the playoffs, but ever since captain and top defenceman Mark Giordano tore his bicep Feb. 25. On Tuesday, the NHL released its sec-ond-round playoff schedules and Cal-gary will open its best-of-seven West-ern Conference semifinal Thursday in Anaheim.
The Ducks will have had seven days off when second-round action begins, three more than the Flames after both teams won their respective first-round series.
Hartley joked earlier this week that Brodie, Russell and Wideman were still in an ice bath two days after elimi-nating the Vancouver Canucks in six games. But given their puck-moving roles in an offence built on speed and pressure, Hartley said managing the trio’s energy was a priority even before the post-season.
“We asked those guys to play lots of minutes,” he said Tuesday. “They’re very important in our game. We just don’t want them to defend. They’re ba-sically our motor offensively.
“Those guys have the power of re-covering very well. They’re great ath-letes and they want those minutes, they love those responsibilities. They’re giv-ing us unbelievable hockey.”
Brodie, Russell and Wideman rank fifth to seventh respectively among NHL defencemen in post-season min-utes at an average of 27 per game. They contributed a combined three goals and nine assists against Vancouver.
Brodie and Wideman skated Tues-day at Scotiabank Saddledome for the first time since Calgary closed out the series Saturday. Russell, the NHL’s leading shot-blocker in the regular sea-son, was among a handful who didn’t.
“We’re in the gym and working hard regardless if we’re on the ice or not,” Russell said. “It’s different situations for every guy.
“With the minutes we’ve played,
obviously we have to make sure we get the rest that’s required, especially when you do get a few days off.”
The Flames and Ducks will have two days between Thursday’s opener and Game 2 on Sunday. A New Kids On The Block concert is booked for the Honda Centre on Saturday.
The third game in Calgary will ei-ther be next Tuesday - the same day as the Alberta election - or May 6 if Detroit wins its first-round series Wednesday against Tampa Bay and advances.
Game 4 is set for May 8. The sched-ule for the remaining three, if neces-sary, is May 10, 12 and 14. How much rest impacts a series is subjective, says Hartley. If a team wins, it was just enough and if one loses, it was either too much or too little, the coach said.
Brodie says the adrenaline of the playoffs provides fuel for his hard min-utes, which include defending against the opposing team’s top line.
“Rest is always important but at the same time when you get into a routine of playing every other day, it makes it easy to stay in the games and always be ready,” Brodie said. “Sometimes too much rest, it takes you 10 minutes or a period to get into the game and sometimes that’s too long and it’s too late.”
With the tireless drive of a lead sled dog, Brodie has filled the void created by Giordano’s absence as a bedrock player at both ends of the ice.
“He’s a world-class skater,” Hartley said. “He can log ice time. You ask T.J. and he probably wants more. He prob-ably wants another 10-15 minutes. He never sweats, he’s never out of breath.
“He’s that guy that can log lots of minutes, can play solid defensive hock-ey. This year, I saw a big, big progres-sion in his willingness to jump into offence.”
Giordano, a Norris Trophy candi-date when he was hurt, underwent surgery on his bicep March 4. He is skating apart from his teammates but Hartley gave the impression the odds are long on Giordano returning later in the playoffs.
“My longest shot is training camp,” the coach said.
Canadiens confident in any series with league-leader Price in goal
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — After the Montreal Canadiens held on to eliminate Ottawa in the sixth game of their first-round playoff series, coach Michel Therrien said more than once that “it’s a good thing we had Carey Price on our side.”
Therrien said the same often this season as the Canadiens, a low-scoring squad that leans heavily on its goal-tender, saw Price produce a career campaign that will probably earn him the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie but may also bring him the Hart Trophy as most valuable player.
Price saved his best for last against Ottawa, posting a 43-save shutout in a 2-0 victory on Sunday night. He re-bounded from allowing five goals in Game 5, which had given the Senators momentum that was crushed by Bren-dan Gallagher’s first-period goal and Price’s dominance in the net.
“I had no doubt about Carey Price,” added Therrien. “I knew he was going
to be the best player.”The win put Montral into the second
round against either Detroit or Tampa Bay. Either way, the series is to start Friday night at the Bell Centre.
The 27-year-old Price has been do-ing it all season, going 44-16-8 in 66 starts and leading the NHL in goals-against average (1.96) and save per-centage (.933). His NHL-best 44 wins in a season was a team record, two more than the mark set by legends Jacques Plante (1956 and 1962) and Ken Dryden (1976).
His nine shutouts were second in the league to Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury.
The six-foot-three Price was equally impressive deeper into the statistics pool. According to hockey-reference.com, his goals saved above average (saves made compared to the league average for goalies) was 36.70, well ahead of the next best, Minnesota’s De-van Dubnyk at 23.70.

Ottawa Senators’ Milan Michalek tries to play the puck past Montreal Canadiens’ Carey Price during an NHL Stanley Cup playoff game, April 26, 2015, in Ottawa. After the Canadiens held on to eliminate Ottawa in the sixth game of their first-round playoff series, coach Michel Therrien said more than once that “it’s a good thing we had Carey Price on our side.”

HABS: Best player every night
Another stat tracks how many extra points a player earns his team in a season. Price led the league with 16.2, a couple ahead of New Jersey’s Corey Schneider and Washington’s Braden Holtby. The Canadiens had three of the top 20 in that category, with de-fenceman P.K. Subban eighth at 12.4
and left-winger Max Pacioretty 19th at 10.9.
Some of it stems from playing be-hind a team with limited firepower up front, although he gets help from a squad that plays a strong defensive game.
The Canadiens scored 221 goals in the regular season, tied with Pitts-burgh for last among the 16 playoff teams.
Their power play was 23rd in the league with a 16.5 per cent success rate, which got worse at 1-for-20 in six games against Ottawa.
They were 22nd in the league in time of possession of the puck at 48.6 per cent.
Despite the numbers, Montreal had a 50-22-10 season for 110 points, second overall to the New York Rangers.
Much of that had to do with Price, who conceded two or fewer goals in 44 of his 66 games. The apex came in late January, when he posted consecutive 1-0 wins over the Rangers and Wash-ington.
“He’s the best player every night, he’s the best player on our team,” said Pacioretty.
“It’s always the last worry on our minds, how Carey Price is going to play.
“He’s the best competitor I’ve ever seen.”
Ottawa scored 12 times on Price
in the series, including five on power plays. But the main story was the Sena-tors’ goalies.
Andrew Hammond, who led Ottawa into the playoffs with a dramatic run over the final two months of the sea-son, was ordinary in losing the opening two games.
Veteran Craig Anderson took over and was all-but unbeatable in stretch-ing the series to six games.
Then the Canadiens turned to a familiar formula, grinding out a low-scoring win in front of a spectacular performance from Price.
The Canadiens got two days off after the series and resume practices on Wednesday.

Kirk Gibson has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The 1988 National League MVP revealed the news Tuesday in a statement released by Fox Sports Detroit.
“I have faced many different obstacles in my life, and have always maintained a strong belief that no matter the circumstances, I could overcome those obstacles,” Gibson said. “While this diagnosis poses a new kind of challenge for me, I intend to stay true to my beliefs. With the support of my family and friends, I will meet this challenge with the same determina-tion and unwavering intensity that I have displayed in all of my endeavours in life. I look forward to being back at the ballpark as soon as possible.”

PEEWEE PROSPECTS CUP
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jon Jones has been stripped of his UFC light heavyweight title and sus-pended indefinitely following his ar-rest in New Mexico on a hit-and-run that police say left a pregnant woman with a broken arm.
The UFC announced the penalties Tuesday night for violations of its ath-lete code of conduct policy.
Jones was scheduled to face No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 in Las Vegas on May 23. Instead, No. 3 contender Daniel Cormier will face Johnson for the title.
Earlier Tuesday in Albuquerque, Jones made his first court appearance.
The 27-year-old fighter appeared with his lawyer and left without speak-ing to reporters. He’s facing a felony charge of leaving the scene of an ac-cident involving death or personal in-juries.
Jones was released Monday on a $2,500 bond. A judge did not impose travel restrictions on Jones.
According to police, witnesses said that Jones ran from a crash Sunday that hospitalized the preg-nant woman but quickly came back to grab “a large handful of cash” from the car. Authorities say the accident occurred in southeastern Albuquer-que when the driver of a rented SUV ran a red light.
Officers found a pipe with marijuana in the SUV as well as MMA and rental car documents in Jones’ name, according to the police report.
Widely considered the world’s best pound-for-pound mixed martial artist, Jones (21-1) has en-dured legal problems and questionable behaviour as champion.
Jones was arrested in
2012 after crashing his Bentley into a telephone pole in Binghamton, New York. He had his driver’s license sus-pended after being charged with DWI, but did no jail time.
Last August, Jones and Cormier were involved in a brawl in the lobby of the MGM Grand casino while ap-pearing at a promotional event. Jones was fined $50,000 and ordered to do community service by the Nevada Ath-letic Commission.
In early December, Jones tested positive for metabolites of cocaine while training. Jones was allowed to compete because the test was con-ducted out of competition, and he beat Cormier at UFC 182.
When the failed drug test became public, Jones publicly apologized for a “mistake,” but spent just one day in a drug rehabilitation centre before checking himself out.
Jones has defended his belt eight times since becoming the youngest champion in UFC history in March 2011.
Henderson qualifies for Volunteers of America North
Texas Shootout golf event
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Canadian Brooke Henderson played her way into the field for the US$1.3-million Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout golf tournament Tuesday.
The native of Smiths Falls, Ont., se-cured a spot in the LPGA Tour event with a birdie on the second playoff hole of the qualifier. Henderson, 17, carded a 1-under 70 despite having to come back Tuesday to finish her last five holes.
Heather Bowie Young won the qualifier by shooting a 68. Henderson finished tied for second with Nicole Jeray, Erica Popson and Portland Rosen, resulting in a playoff to decide the second qualifying spot. Henderson said she was surprised her score was enough to make the playoff.
“I thought I was out, so I was happy
when I found out I had the chance.,” she said.
The Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout begins Thursday at Las Colinas Country Club.
Henderson, in her first full season on the LPGA Tour, finished third Sun-day in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Clas-sic to earn $132,721. It marked Hen-derson’s second ’15 event after she finished tied for 33rd in the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic on Feb. 8.
But playing in the Swinging Skirts event resulted in a whirlwind for the Canadian, whose flight to the qualifier from San Francisco was delayed un-til early Monday morning. And when Henderson finally landed in Texas, she went immediately to the course.
“I mean, it’s cool, and it’s all part of it, where I am this year, not really playing the Tour consistently, like a full schedule,” she said. “I’m sort of all over and doing different things. Just the whole part of the experience, and I’m glad I was able to do both things.”
Henderson opened the Swing-ing Skirts event impressively, with round of 70, 65 and 72 over the par-72, 6,507-yard Lake Merced Golf Club course. Her two-round 135 total was a tournament record but Henderson carded a final-round 2-over 74 on Sun-day to settle for third.

Blue Jays’ bats blow up on Red SoxBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Blue Jays 11 Red Sox 8BOSTON — Brett Cecil got the pro-
motion.Marco Estrada got the outs that mat-
tered.Entering the game in the fifth in-
ning with nobody out and the bases loaded, Estrada pitched three innings of hitless ball and helped the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 11-8 on Tuesday night.
“I want to keep going out there,” Es-trada said after helping the Blue Jays snap a four-game losing streak. “What-ever opportunities I can get.”
Josh Donaldson had three hits, in-cluding a homer, and Kevin Pillar also had three of Toronto’s 17 hits. Jose Bautista had an RBI in the five-run third inning, another in a three-run fourth and then added a homer.
Cecil pitched the ninth for his first save.
A day after rookie Miguel Castro gave up a walkoff single, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons moved Cecil back into the closer’s role. But when the Red Sox threatened in the fifth, Es-trada (1-0) shut them down.
“He’s very valuable,” Gibbons said, adding that an ankle injury in spring training made it difficult to fit Estrada into a role.
“We didn’t really know what we had.”
Toronto starter Drew Hutchison gave up four runs in the second, then the Blue Jays took a 9-5 lead before he ran into trouble again in the fifth. Pablo Sandoval, who had four hits in the game, singled to lead off the in-ning, then Daniel Nava and Brock Holt walked to load the bases.
Estrada struck out Xander Bogaerts and retired Ryan Hanigan on a line drive before walking in a run. Estrada then got Dustin Pedroia on a ground-out to end the fifth, and allowed only
one walk over the next two innings.“We lost four in a row. We obviously
needed something,” Estrada said. “Our offence came alive.”
Boston starter Clay Buchholz (1-3) was given a 4-0 lead but gave it right back, allowing five in the top of the third. Buchholz got just eight outs while allowing five runs — four earned — on six hits and a walk while striking out four.
“Whenever your team gives you a four-run lead you’re supposed to come out a lot better than that,” he said. “I’ve got to do a better job than that.”
The Blue Jays led 10-6 when Aaron Loup struck out Mookie Betts and Pe-droia to start the eighth. But David Ortiz doubled, and Hanley Ramirez hit his 200th career homer to make it 10-8, then Pablo Sandoval singled — his fourth hit of the game.
Liam Hendriks got Allen Craig on a first-pitch one-hopper back to the mound to end the inning. Donaldson added a solo homer in the ninth to make it 11-8.
TAKE YOUR BASERed Sox reliever Edward Mujica
committed two balks in the fourth in-ning. The Blue Jays also had three hits and two walks in the inning to score three times and make it 8-4.
“It’s something you don’t see often. A rarity,” Red Sox manager John Far-rell said
“A guy who’s probably not done that in his career.”
SPRING STRENGTHRamirez’s homer was his fourth in
five games, giving him nine for the sea-son. He is the third player in Red Sox history to have nine homers before the month of May, joining David Ortiz (10 in 2006) and Manny Ramirez (nine in 2001).
UP NEXTThe teams complete their three-
game series on Wednesday. RHP R.A. Dickey (0-2) will face RHP Rick Por-cello (1-2).

Ujiri not going rush decisions on RaptorsBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The wounds are still fresh, the disappointment still burns.
Just two days after the Toronto Rap-tors were “punched in the face” by the Washington Wizards, GM Masai Ujiri said he’ll take some time determining the direction of the squad — including the fate of coach Dwane Casey — rath-er than make changes when emotions are high.
“Everybody is going to be held ac-countable, everybody is going to be evaluated,” Ujiri said Tuesday. “There’s no doomsday here, honestly. This is not as dramatic as we are mak-ing it.
“It’s just that we want to win here, we want to keep building. I think the process is you sometimes get kicked in the face and we got kicked in the face and now we have to go back to the drawing board.”
Toronto was humiliated in a four-game opening-round sweep by Wash-ington, culminating in Sunday night’s 125-94 rout. It was a “disappointing” ending to a season that had several
positives, said Ujiri, who proceeded to list them off: A second straight Atlan-tic Division title, a franchise-record 49 wins, an NBA Sixth Man of the Year in Lou Williams, an all-star in Kyle Lowry and a great fan base.
“Coach Casey has created or helped create a good culture here. . .,” Ujiri said. “The base is very good for us and he’s a big part of our base.”
Of one thing Ujiri is certain, he won’t be cursing in public anytime soon. The GM was fined by the NBA for the second straight playoffs after he swore in reference to Paul Pierce when addressing fans in Maple Leaf Square. Ujiri was fined US$35,000 and the Raptors an additional US$25,000.
“I’m a competitor and I’m not go-ing to back down. . . it was my way of supporting our team, supporting our organization, our fan base, which is something I’ll always do,” Ujiri said. “Was it stupid that I went out there and said that? I apologize for cursing. I got scolded by the (NBA) commis-sioner, I got scolded by my wife, I got scolded by (Hall of Famer) Wayne Em-bry, and I tell you what, I’m not going to do it again.
“I think I’ve learned my lesson, and our focus is not me honestly. That’s the part I regret.”
Ujiri was prompted by Pierce’s pre-playoff comment that the Raptors don’t have “it.” The GM praised Pierce for his passion.
“I knew who Paul Pierce is, he’s a killer, he’s one of those that you want on your team,” Ujiri said. “He’s old-school, I believe in those old-school guys, those guys, they are phenomenal. They want to cut your head off.”
Ujiri has to wish he had more of that mentality on his team down the stretch. Lowry went from being the team’s heart and soul to a shell of him-self down the stretch.
Ujiri believes having to carry the squad through DeMar DeRozan’s groin injury was costly.
“I think when DeMar got hurt, Kyle used so much energy in carrying this team in those three months,” he said. “You run out of gas.”
Ujiri remains in full support of his point guard.
“I have no doubt in my mind 100 per cent he’s going to come back to be-ing Kyle Lowry being the fierce com-
petitive player playing at the level he played not only at the first half of this season, but he did it all last year,” he said. “(I am) even more confident be-cause we know the give and take, what we have and what we don’t have, what we need to work on. We know who Kyle is.
“We know what the goods and the bads are.”
Ujiri said he’s excited about what both this off-season and next off-sea-son hold.
“I couldn’t tell you what’s going to come our way this year. July is going to be very telling,” he said. “We have continued to study the free agent class in 2016, studying the money in 2016, our flexibility. It’s a good time for us — that’s the best way to put it. I think we’re putting ourselves in a good posi-tion.
“It’s very important that our fran-chise and our team becomes relevant. We want to build a good culture that will attract players to come play here.”
Landry Fields, Amir Johnson, Greg Stiemsma, Tyler Hansbrough, Chuck Hayes and Lou Williams are Toronto’s unrestricted free agents.

Expanding in new directionsRED DEER PLOTS ITS GROWTH STRATEGY TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST
BY CRYSTAL RHYNOADVOCATE STAFF
To avoid a land shortage and set the stage for future budgets, Red Deer city council has earmarked two areas for concurrent land development.
On Monday, council directed admin-istration to develop a policy based on integrated decision-making principles for a future growth strategy.
The principles include maintaining a balanced land supply, prioritizing and sequencing, monitoring and analy-sis, financing and funding, service de-livery and budgeting.
The doors for development were also opened to the north and northeast of Hwy 11A, and east of the future 20th Avenue.
Mayor Tara Veer said the principles are basically looking at growth through the important pillars. She said this
approach makes for a more sustain-able Red Deer on a number of fronts.She said the shift to concurrent devel-opment from subsequent development is financially and environmentally vi-able.
“That allows us to build in competi-tiveness in our market and also con-sumer choices,” said Veer.
Currently, the city has a five-year land supply and it takes about two years to service the land for develop-ment.
In order to begin servicing the growth area, administration will ask council for direction in the 2016 and 2017 budgets to ensure land is ready for development in 2019.
City manager Craig Curtis said the city has done a traffic impact assess-ment and detailed costing on the area north of Hwy 11A.
Curtis said developers have pro-posed the large portion of the area
will be residential as opposed to com-mercial.
“We will grow to the east, northeast and to the north simultaneously, de-pending on development agreements,” he said.
“That will allow maximum flexibili-ty and essentially it will be the demand that determines at what speed growth in the north and east will happen.”
The city monitors its land supply on an annual basis to assess the impacts and to avoid a land shortage.
Coun. Dianne Wyntjes raised the point that the city did not reach its land sale budgets in 2014.
But Curtis said the city will prob-ably exceed the budget in 2015, when the areas comes on sale.
“We believe by growing to the north and the northeast, it will increase the ability of developers to compete with each other,” said Curtis.
“We think that’s a plus because it
will bring other players into the mar-ket.”
The city found itself in a tough situ-ation when it ran out of industrial land in 2007.
“Although there were projections that we would need that land, they were thwarted at the time by competi-tion with (Red Deer County) and the inability to annex in a timely way,” said Curtis.
“Fortunately with the partnership with the county today and the Inter-municipal Development Plan, we have been able to annex sufficient land in a compatible way with the county.”
Elaine Vincent, director of Develop-ment Services, said the city has a re-sponsibility to ensure there’s enough land supply in the different areas to meet the growth, and to prioritize and sequence growth, including external land and redevelopment.

A “stupid and immature” at-tempted carjacking that a Crown prosecutor called feeble has land-ed a Red Deer man in jail for the next three months.
An apologetic Jacob Victor Dennis, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of robbery in Red Deer pro-vincial court before Judge Jim Hunter.
With his head in his hands, Dennis listened on Tuesday to the facts read into the record by Crown prosecutor Carolyn Ayre.
On April 20, Dennis was in the parking lot of the Best Buy in Southpointe Common, at 5001 19th St. in Red Deer, and approached a man standing beside his car. Den-nis demanded the keys to the car and when the man refused, Den-nis produced a knife and threat-ened the man.
The keys were immediately
handed over to Dennis.Then the man began waving
and yelling to draw attention to nearby witnesses, catching the at-tention of two Best Buy employ-ees.
As this was occurring, a Red Deer RCMP member entered the parking lot on a different call. The Best Buy employees and the vic-tim tried to get the attention of the police officer to let him know about the attempted car jacking.
The officer chased after Den-nis, telling him to stop and iden-tifying himself as a police officer. While running, the officer saw the knife that Dennis threatened the victim with.
During the chase, Dennis threw the knife away. The officer picked it up and continued pursuit. Den-nis also threw away the keys he had taken. The officer ultimately arrested Dennis at gunpoint.
While walking Dennis to his po-lice vehicle, the officer picked up the keys, which were identified as
belonging to the victim.Ayre sought a four-to-six-month
sentence.Amna Qureshi, counsel for Den-
nis, said drugs and mental health issues played a role in the inci-dent. He told the court that Den-nis was remorseful.
Dennis apologized to Hunter for the incident. “What I did was stupid and immature,” he said. “I’ve shamed my entire family.”
Qureshi suggested a sentence of three months, citing the early guilty plea — within nine days of his arrest.
Hunter settled on a sentence of 105 days, less two weeks credit for time served in custody. That leaves Dennis with 91 days to serve. Hunter also banned Den-nis from Southpointe Common for 12 months and he was told not to have contact with the witnesses or victim, ordered to provide a DNA sample and given a five-year weapons prohibition.

For more than three years, a Red Deer massage therapist played a sig-nificant role in a fraud operation, bilk-ing Alberta Blue Cross of more than $17,000.
Donna Nast, 41, of Red Deer plead-ed guilty to one count of fraud over $5,000 for her part in an insurance fraud scam on Tuesday in Red Deer provincial court before Judge Jim Hunter.
Court was told that she and another accused woman, employed at Olymel,
used fraudulent forms to claim money for massages that never happened. The fraud claims were submitted between Jan. 1, 2007, and Jan. 30, 2010.
Employees at Olymel in Red Deer receive a benefit package that includes $500 per year for massages.
Crown prosecutor Carolyn Ayre said a woman employed by Olymel re-cruited a number of employees and would help them complete Alberta Blue Cross claim forms for massages they did not receive.
Nast would create false receipts un-der the name of real massage thera-pists and those would be submitted to the second accused before being
submitted to Alberta Blue Cross for reimbursement.
When an employee received the cheque, reimbursing them for the mas-sage they never received, the employee kept 40 per cent of the proceeds while Nast and the second accused split the remaining 60 per cent, court heard.
Ayre said an internal audit by Al-berta Blue Cross said 139 employees made false claims through this scheme. However, RCMP only interviewed 44 employees. As a result, Crown pros-ecutors are only able to prove the al-legation for a smaller number of em-ployees.
Represented by defence counsel
Patty MacNaughton, Nast admitted to 35 claims totalling $17,500 stolen in the scheme.
MacNaughton requested a pre-sen-tence report before Nast’s sentence is handed down.
Sentencing was adjourned to July 17 in Red Deer provincial court.
Noralyn Zadrozny, 42, of Red Deer is charged with fraud over $5,000 and us-ing a forged document. Her next court date is June 3 in Red Deer provincial court.
The maximum penalty under the Criminal Code for fraud over $5,000 is 14 years in custody.

‘Stupid’ carjacking attemptputs man in jail for 105 days
A rowdy hotel guest who whacked a Black Knight Inn employee with a metal pipe and forced another to jump down the laundry chute on Tuesday will have his day in court.
The suspect’s name, final charges and court appearance date are expected to be released on Wednesday, once the charges against him have been sworn before the courts.
Just before 9 a.m., Red Deer RCMP responded to call of a potential forcible confinement situation at the hotel on 2929 50th Ave. in Red Deer. About eight police cars responded, including dog services.
Police say a 30-year-old Edmonton man was ex-tremely intoxicated and became aggressive with two male staff.
The suspect allegedly hit one man with a metal pipe and forced another to jump down the laundry chute from the second floor.
Both victims were treated for minor injuries at the hospital and have been released.
The suspect was arrested on the second floor. He is being held in custody.
He faces charges of aggravated assault, unlawful confinement and mischief over $5,000.
The suspect was staying at the hotel with several other people who were not involved with the inci-dent.

Machete, bear sprayused in holdup; two charged
An 18-year-old man faces forcible confinement and weapons-related charges after a machete and bear spray were used in a robbery early Monday morning in Eastview.
A staff member was assaulted dur-ing the robbery at 4:37 a.m. at Express 24 Foodmart on Erickson Drive.
Red Deer RCMP arrived on scene, catching two suspects taking cash from the till after assaulting a staff member. A 17-year-old youth also faces charges in the incident.
The second staff member in the store was able to call police when he saw two men enter the store wearing bandanas over their faces and carrying machetes.
The first staff member was sprayed with bear spray and was treated by EMS for minor physical injuries.
The second staff member was not injured. The two male suspects were taken into custody by police without further incident.
Aaron Bull, 18, of Red Deer is charged with two counts of forcible confinement, robbery with a weapon, possession of weapon for dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon, two counts of assault with a weapon and wearing a disguise with intent to commit a crime.
Bull appeared in Red Deer provin-cial court on Tuesday. Escorted into the courthouse by a Red Deer RCMP member in white coveralls, Bull was held in custody by the officer before being turned over to Alberta Sheriffs and taken to the Red Deer Remand Centre.
The Crown elected to proceed by indictment, which upon conviction car-ries greater penalties. Bull reserved his plea to seek counsel.
He will next appear in Red Deer provincial court on May 6.
The second male, a 17-year-old who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with nine similar charges.
The youth appears on Thursday in youth court in Red Deer.
Sylvan Lake pedicabsremain on council table
Pedicabs could be coming to Sylvan Lake soon.
The three-wheeled, human-powered taxis are popular in many resort com-munities and Sylvan town council has been considering them for some time.
Last summer, staff were asked to provide background on why pedicabs and rickshaws had been rejected in the past. In March, further informa-tion was requested on how to go about regulating pedicabs, with and without advertising on them. Rickshaws were not supported.
RCMP and the town’s municipal enforcement officers are against pedi-cabs because of safety and traffic is-sues.
However, some councillors have mused they could be a popular addi-tion to the lakeshore area.
If pedicabs are to be allowed, the business licensing bylaw must be changed to accommodate them.
Regulations would have to be de-signed to address areas of operation, qualifications and screening of opera-tors, parking, solicitation, fares, adver-tising, liability and other operational issues.
Staff suggested that four-wheeled bicycles, which are already allowed, be included in a revamped bylaw, expected to come back to council on June 8.

CELEBRATING SAFETY AND HEALTH WEEK
Common workplace injuries and
how to avoid themWorkers spend roughly eight hours
at their workplaces each day, and many workers must be careful to avoid injury
over the course of a typical workday.According to a recent FindLaw survey, workplace
injuries are common, with one in five American adults saying they have suffered an injury while on the job. Statistics Canada notes that an estimated 4.27 million Canadians aged 12 or older suffered an injury severe enough to limit their usual activities in 2009 and 2010. Although many of these injuries were attributed to adolescents and seniors, working-age adults see their share of injuries as well.
The employees most susceptible to injury are those working in dangerous areas, such as construc-tion sites and factories, but just about any worker can suffer an injury on the job. Knowing the most common injuries can help individuals take preemp-tive steps to limit behaviors that may lead to injuries on the job. The following are some of the most com-mon and disabling workplace injuries, according to the Workplace Safety Index.
OverexertionOverexertion can lead to various musculoskeletal
injuries, including sprains, muscle pulls and tears. Heavy lifting and lowering of items affects the back, which is the part of the body most often injured on the job. Workers should not push their bodies to extremes. Braces and other supports can protect the back, shoulders and other vulnerable body parts from injury. Lifting should always be done with the legs and not the back.
Slips and falls Falling on wet and slippery floors or tripping
over something on a floor is another common work-place injury. While many falls occur on level sur-faces, falls from elevated areas, such as ladders and stairways, also can occur. Spills should be mopped up promptly and caution signage should be used on slippery surfaces. Workers should wear the right footwear for the job and environment.
Reaction injuriesThese involve trauma to the body from slipping
and tripping without actually falling. It can be dif-ficult to prevent these types of injuries, but always being aware of your surroundings can reduce your risk for reaction injuries.
Falling object injuries Workers can be injured by falling objects. These
injuries are most common in warehouses or con-struction sites. Proper protective gear, such as hel-mets and hard hats, can keep employees safe, as can maintaining a hazard-free environment.
Vehicular accidentsAutomotive accidents can lead to injuries for work-ers who must drive as part of their job. Employers
can ask that all employees who drive routinely enroll in safe driving courses and can monitor any health conditions that can lead to impaired driving.
Machine entanglement Injuries can occur when employees get caught in
or compressed by large and dangerous equipment, which is common in factories. All employees should be trained in machinery operation to avoid these types of accidents.
Repetitive motion injuries Repetitive motions, such as typing, pushing but-
tons, pulling levers, or bending and squatting can strain muscles and tendons. Although these condi-tions are not as obvious as others at the onset, over time they can be harmful and painful. Vision prob-lems from staring at a computer and carpal tunnel syndrome are some common repetitive motion inju-ries. Take frequent breaks and use ergonomic equip-ment to alleviate these conditions.
Many companies have workers’ compensation programs in place to help employees stay afloat after suffering workplace injuries. Should an injury occur at work, employees are advised to follow the proper protocol for reporting the injury and getting treat-ment. (MS)
The importance of reporting Near Misses
By Glen Trefanenko of Trefko Safety Services
Regardless if we call events causing injuries and/or property damages “incidents or acci-dents”, companies expect their personnel to report them all. Regardless, incidents and ac-cidents are not always being reported but far fewer near misses are being reported compared to the amount that are being experienced.
A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury or damage, but had the po-tential to do so. Only a fortunate break in the chain of events prevented damage or an injury. Incident pyramid theories, which started in the 1930’s and illustrate that for every fatality or major damage as a result of an event, which is represented on the top, there would be several near misses which are represented at the bot-tom of the pyramid. Regardless what the near miss total number is they are occurring and in many cases without any thought of reporting them. Some people may say that nothing was damaged or no one was hurt so why report. The way to look at it is that if you can prevent an occurrence from happening that would cause damage or injury, why wouldn’t you.
When investigating events that cause damage and/or injuries, you are looking to determine the causes so that corrections to prevent recur-rence may be established and put into place. If the root (basic) cause of an event causing seri-ous injury and/or damage was determined to be “the non-reporting or improper investigation of a near miss”, I am sure that the persons in-volved in the near miss would be second guess-ing their decision to not report the near miss in the first place. If you are involved in a near miss, report it because you may be saving a life.
If we are using the same piece of equipment or completing the same tasks day after day, we may get complacent in understanding the cur-rent and potential hazards and the risks that they present. Since we may have learnt that there is a certain way to operate a piece of equipment because it has not been operating properly for some time, we may sometimes not think twice about reporting this as a near miss or having the equipment repaired. Because of this, if someone is new to your work area or has not used the piece of equipment that you may operate every day, you may be putting them in harms way without even knowing it. So even if you are familiar with a piece of equipment that is not working properly, have it repaired for your safety and the next person that may use it before an event occurs.
As the result of a work place near miss, the involved worker is given the opportunity to pre-vent a similar event that may injure a person or cause property damage. This opportunity is cre-ated by properly reporting and documenting the near miss. It does not end there as the company has to follow-up by properly investigating the near miss, determining the causes then develop-ing and putting into place, corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
Everyone has to ensure that a near miss is used as a tool to prevent events that cause in-jury and/or property damage by reporting and investigating such events then by establishing, communicating and following corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

CELEBRATING SAFETY AND HEALTH WEEK
NAOSH Week – North American Occupational Safety and Health Week - was first launched in June 1997, marked by an agreement be-tween Canada, the United States and Mexico. The Canadian Soci-ety of Safety Engineering’s (CSSE) Canadian Occupational Health and Safety Week (COHS) had been observed for ten years previously (1986-1996). During the North Ameri-can Free Trade Agreement (NAF-TA) talks between the governments of Mexico, United States, and Can-ada, workplace safety within the boundaries of all three nations was discussed by government labour de-partment representatives. Canada’s representative at these talks was familiar with Canada’s COHS Week and suggested to his Mexican and American counterparts that their countries may wish to become in-volved in a similar endeavor.
Subsequently, CSSE was ap-proached for permission and sup-port to expand the COHS Week format and experience to Mexico and the United States. After many meetings between Labour Canada and the CSSE COHS Committee in 1995, the proposal to expand the COHS format into the North Ameri-can arena was formalized with the CSSE Board of Directors at their spring 1996 meeting. It was agreed that CSSE would adopt the North American concept and implement it in place of the Canadian Week. La-bour Canada agreed to ensure that CSSE was the officially recognized safety organization responsible for NAOSH Week. Labour Canada
would also play the lead political role for North America for three years, after which there would be a review. CSSE was responsible for all management, marketing, poli-cy, and administration related to NAOSH Week, and was deemed the proprietor and governing body.
In September 1996, the agreement was taken to the NAFTA meeting and all parties agreed to the propos-al. NAOSH Week was established. NAOSH Week was implemented un-der this agreement between 1997 and 2000. Since 2000, the responsi-bility and management of NAOSH Week has continued under CSSE’s leadership. Partnering with the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety (CCOHS), and the Labour Program of Human Resourc-es and Social Development Canada (HRSDC), and Threads of Life, CSSE works hard to promote and encour-age the goals of NAOSH. Along with the efforts of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), NAOSH Week continues to be a truly conti-nent-wide event.
In September 2007, the Board of Directors of the CSSE approved the creation of an “Occupational Safe-ty and Health Professional (OSHP) Day” that would be celebrated every year on the Wednesday of NAOSH Week. Occupational Safety and Health Professional Day has been set aside as a day in which to rec-ognize the ongoing efforts of occu-pational safety, health and environ-mental professionals to protect our people, our organizations and our way of life.

Things to doThings to doIn Central Alberta
Your guide to what’s going on and what to see in Central AlbertaIn the Saturday, May 9th edition of the
Supplied by Altalink
In May, you might see something familiar ris-ing higher in the sky than ever before – a bucket. To be precise, it’s the bucket of a new, 200-foot bucket truck. This new piece of equipment is go-ing to help AltaLink’s field crews maintain the transmission system more efficiently, keeping your lights on safely and reliably.
Alberta’s growth requires new equipmentAltaLink is Alberta’s largest owner and op-
erator of electricity transmission assets –high-voltage, long distance power lines ranging from 69,000 to 500,000 volts. As Alberta’s population and demand for power has grown in the last 10 years, so has the equipment AltaLink uses to keep the lights on.
“Later on this year, AltaLink’s Western Al-berta Transmission Line will be put in service, connecting the area west of Edmonton to the area east of Calgary with a 500,000 volt High Volt-age Direct Current line,” said Rodger Pierce, AltaLink’s director of field operations. “This line will reinforce the backbone of the transmission system, and the new bucket truck will be used to maintain this line, among many others.”
A leader in CanadaThe new bucket truck makes Alberta home
to one of the largest insulated aerial devices in Canada. Rising to 200 feet high, it will allow AltaLink’s crews to access its new, taller struc-tures, do live line work (perform maintenance activities on lines while the power is still flowing through them), and more easily do work on facili-ties in hard-to-access areas.
“In a nutshell, it will help our crews safely and efficiently maintain the new assets in our transmission system,” said Pierce. “Safety is always the first thing we think about. When you work on something like the high-voltage electric system, you can’t afford not to.”
Focused on safetyThe North American Occupational Safety and
Health (NAOSH) week helps individuals and organizations across North American increase awareness of the importance of safety. The value we place on safety as a province, country and continent drives AltaLink to maintain and im-prove its safety performance, which is in the top
decile for utilities across Canada.
“Last year we were proud to accept the Cana-
dian Electricity Association’s Vice President’s
Award of Excellence for Employee Safety,” said
Rod Kause, vice president of safety, health and
environment at AltaLink. “This award recog-
nizes AltaLink’s culture of safety. That culture is
built by people, with the right tools and the right
mindset of safety first.”
The new bucket truck is one of those tools that
will allow AltaLink to continue to work safely,
around the clock, to keep the lights on for Alber-
tans.
“Power is one of those things you don’t usually
think about – it’s just there when you come home
and turn on your lights,” said Pierce. “In Alberta,
we work hard to have one of the most reliable
systems in the world. There are hundreds of peo-
ple working behind the scenes, 24/7 to keep the
system running, so our customers have the power
they rely on everyday.”
AltaLink’s new bucket truck will be in use
throughout the year, so watch for it reaching to
the skies across Alberta.
AltaLink welcomed the province’s tallest bucket truck to help it maintain its expanding set of assets.

Songbird lands in KelownaBY LANA MICHELIN
ADVOCATE STAFF
Red Deer’s operatic songbird Olivia Smith is now stretching her wings in the Okanagan.
Smith, who grabbed national attention as a con-testant on Canada’s Got Talent, will be the youngest cast member singing for the two-year-old company, Opera Kelowna.
In August, the 16-year-old will appear as Bar-barina, a peasant girl who contributes to the comic mayhem in Mozart’s opera Marriage of Figaro.
While she misses her friends and relatives in Red Deer, Smith feels she’s been making the most of new opportunities since relocating to British Columbia last fall.
Besides rehearsing Barbarina’s aria for Figaro, she’s taking private voice lessons with Opera Kel-owna’s artistic director Alexandra Babbel, a profes-sional opera singer who’s toured internationally.
Babbel also invited Smith to be one of 12 girls in her classical vocal ensemble Candesca, The group has performed in Europe and will do several con-certs in New York City this summer, including an engagement with the Brooklyn Children’s Choir.
The teenager admitted all of this singing, which is worked around her Grade 10 classes, “has been a lot of hard work. ... But I’m getting better, because with so many great people out here, it pushes me to do my best and try harder. It’s been really fun. ...”
Her most exciting opportunity still lies ahead.While in New York in July, Smith will get one-on-
one instruction from globally respected opera coach Joan Dornemann. As the Metropolitan Opera’s assis-tant conductor, Dornemann has worked with Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Kiri Te Kanawa, Montserrat Caballe, and many others.
Caballe is one of the opera singers Smith most looks up to, so she’s beyond thrilled to be able to learn from Caballe’s vocal coach.
Babbel also studied with Dornemann when she was a young singer, and is pleased that her former instructor — who received an Emmy Award for her contributions to the first Live From the Met telecast of La Bohème — has agreed to tutor Smith.
Babbel calls the student “the next generation of talent.”
She knew from Smith’s audition that she had something special. As well her “beautiful voice,” she believes Smith has excellent vocal technique. “She’s been extremely well trained, with excellent coach-
ing,” by Red Deer’s Cheryl Valentine, added Babbel, who feels a very promising opera career lies ahead for the teen.
It will begin this summer with Smith’s role in Mar-riage of Figaro. She will be in a professional cast for this co-production between Opera Kelowna and the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus.
To help meet the costs of the expensive show that runs on Aug. 14 and 15, the non-profit opera company is seeking sponsorships. Smith could also use some personal financial help in paying for travel and other costs.
While growing up in Red Deer from the ages of
two to 15, Smith never hesitated to sing for a good cause, said her mother, Julianne Smith. She sang for Central Alberta Theatre, The Hub, Central Alberta Refugee Effort, Earth Dance, Amanda Lindhout’s Global Enrichment Foundation and many other groups.
Julianne hopes some of her daughter’s Red Deer connections will now come through to help Smith fulfil her operatic dreams.

WORLD D4WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 2015
Baltimore is a city on edgeBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baltimore was a city on edge Tues-day as hundreds of National Guards-men patrolled the streets against un-rest for the first time since 1968, hoping to prevent another outbreak of rioting.
Maryland’s governor said 2,000 Guardsmen and 1,000 law officers would be in place overnight to try to head off a repeat of the racially charged violence that erupted Monday in some of the city’s poorest neighbour-hoods and sent a shudder through all of Baltimore.
“This combined force will not tol-erate violence or looting,” Gov. Larry Hogan warned.
In a measure of how tense things were, the city was under a 10 p.m.-to-5 a.m. emergency curfew. All public schools were closed. And the Balti-more Orioles cancelled Tuesday night’s game at Camden Yards and — in what may be a first in baseball’s 145-year history — announced that Wednesday’s game will be closed to the public.
The streets were largely calm all day and into the evening, with only a few scattered arrests. The real test was expected after dark, when the curfew was set to take effect.
The looting, arson and rock- and bottle-throwing by mostly black riot-ers broke out just hours after the fu-neral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who suffered a fatal spinal cord injury while in police custody. It was the worst such violence in the U.S. since the unrest that erupted last year over the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mis-souri.
Political leaders and residents called the violence a tragedy for the city and lamented the damage done by the rioters to their own neighbour-hoods.
“The same community they say they care about, they’re destroying. You can’t have it both ways,” Mayor Stepha-nie Rawlings-Blake said.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said: “I had officers come up to me and say, ’I was born and raised in this city. This makes me cry.”’
But the rioting also brought out a
sense of civic pride and responsibil-ity in many Baltimore residents, with hundreds of volunteers turning out to sweep the streets of glass and other debris with brooms and trash bags do-nated by hardware stores.
Blanca Tapahuasco brought her three sons, ages 2 to 8, from another part of the city to help clean up the brick-and-pavement courtyard outside a looted CVS pharmacy in the hard-hit neighbourhood where Gray was ar-rested.
“We’re helping the neighbourhood build back up,” she said. “This is an encouragement to them to know the rest of the city is not just looking on and wondering what to do.”
CVS store manager Haywood Mc-Morris said the destruction didn’t make sense: “We work here, man. This is where we stand, and this is where people actually make a living.”
All day, police fielded rumours of would-be rioters gathering at various places in and around Baltimore.
As evening fell, police with riot shields lined up shoulder to shoulder across West North Avenue and kept close watch on a chanting crowd of about 1,000 people at the corner where some of the worst violence took place the night before. The gathering resem-bled a street festival, with musicians playing in the intersection.
Separately, several hundred dem-onstrators marched through the streets toward downtown Baltimore as the curfew drew near.
The crisis marks the first time the National Guard has been called out to deal with unrest in Baltimore since 1968, when some of the same neigh-bourhoods that rose up this week burned for days after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. At least six people died then, and some neighbourhoods still bear the scars.
Jascy Jones of Baltimore said the sight of National Guardsmen on the street gave her a “very eerie feeling.”
“It brought a tear to my eye. Seeing
it doesn’t feel like the city that I love,” she said. “I am glad they’re here, but it’s hard to watch.”
At the White House, President Ba-rack Obama called the deaths of sev-eral black men around the country at the hands of police “a slow-rolling cri-sis.” But he added that there was “no excuse” for the violence in Baltimore, and said the rioters should be treated as criminals.
“They aren’t protesting. They aren’t making a statement. They’re stealing,” Obama said.
The rioting started in West Balti-more on Monday afternoon and by mid-night had spread to East Baltimore and neighbourhoods close to downtown and near the baseball stadium.
At least 20 officers were hurt, one person was critically injured in a fire, more than 200 adults and 34 juveniles were arrested, and nearly 150 cars were burned, police said. The gover-nor had no immediate estimate of the damage.
NATIONAL GUARDS PATROL AGAINST UNREST FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1968
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Katie Med-ley, nine months pregnant and crouch-ing between the seats of a movie the-atre filling with tear gas, gunfire and screams, looked at her husband Ca-leb’s bloody face and told a friend, “He’s dead, he’s dead.”
Prodeo Et Patria was 14 that night, and sitting with his parents somewhere in the middle of the 421 people watch-ing a midnight Batman premiere. He thought the gunfire was a joke until his father ordered him to the floor, where someone kicked off his glasses in the chaos.
His father told him to run and re-fused to leave his mother, whose arm and foot were shattered by bullets. Hoisting his wife onto his back, they made for an exit together. “That’s when I first felt a gunshot hit me,” Pa-tria said.
They were the among the first of many prosecution witnesses in the death penalty trial of James Holmes, and their gripping testimony made clear the state’s determination to make sure jurors know the carnage Holmes caused inside the suburban Denver theatre on July 20, 2012.
Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. warned jurors as the trial opened not to let sympathy and emotion influence their judgment. The defence team has con-ceded that Holmes was the killer, hop-ing to focus not on the crime itself or its lingering damage, but on what it sees as the only question jurors must resolve: whether Holmes was legally insane at the time.
But on this first long day of testimo-ny, the judge repeatedly turned away
defence objections to particularly gruesome and tragic details. Defence attorneys did not question any of the witnesses from the theatre.
Defence attorney Katherine Spen-gler argued that grisly photos, an emergency services call recording of shrieks and screams, and the words “bloody victim” that a witness wrote on a diagram of the theatre served only to inflame the jury. The judge dismissed her motions, reasoning that the evi-dence is relevant and fairly depicts a horrific crime.
Prosecutors say they will prove be-yond a reasonable doubt that he was sane, therefore guilty, and should be executed. Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity; his de-fence hopes the jury will have him in-definitely committed to a mental insti-tution.
Tuesday was Day One of testimony in a trial expected to last four months or more. If the prosecution keeps this up into August, the cumulative weight of the victims’ suffering could make the defence job even more difficult.
In opening statements, the defence sought to focus instead on what was going on inside Holmes’ mind, which they say was so addled by schizophre-nia and psychosis that his sense of right and wrong was distorted, and he lost any control over his actions. They won’t call their own witnesses or begin making the case for insanity until af-ter the prosecution rests, many weeks from now.
Defence lawyers said Holmes was a “good kid” who sensed something wrong with his mind, even at a young age. Studying neuroscience at the Uni-versity of Colorado was his attempt to fix his thoughts; Instead, “psycho-

CILICAP, Indonesia — Indonesia brushed aside last-minute appeals and executed eight people convicted of drug smuggling, according to foreign governments and local media reports Wednesday, although a Filipino wom-an was granted a stay of execution.
The Indonesian government has not confirmed the executions, but lo-cal media reported that the eight had been executed, citing official though unidentified sources.
Attorney General Muhammad Prase-tyo said Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso had been granted a stay of execution while the Philippines investigates her case, but he would not comment on whether the executions of two Australians, four Nigerians, a Brazilian and an Indo-nesian man had been carried out as scheduled shortly after midnight.
But gunshots were heard about 12:30 a.m. local time (17:30 GMT) from Nusakambangan island where execu-tions take place, and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced that Australia will withdraw its ambassa-dor from Jakarta in response to the executions of two Australians, Myuran Sukumaran, 33, and Andrew Chan, 31.
“These executions are both cruel and unnecessary,” Abbott told report-ers.
“Cruel because both Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran spent some decade in jail before being executed and unnecessary because both of these young Australians were fully rehabili-tated while in prison,” he said.
Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff said in a statement the execution of a second Brazilian citizen in Indonesia this year “marks a serious event in the relations between the two countries.”
Brazil had asked for a stay of ex-ecution for Rodrigo Gularte, 42, on hu-manitarian grounds because he was schizophrenic.
Brazilian Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira was one of six drug convicts including foreigners that Jakarta ex-ecuted in January, brushing aside last-minute appeals from Brazil and the Netherlands.
Brazil and the Netherlands with-drew their ambassadors from Jakarta in protest at those executions.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo has vowed to show no mercy to drug criminals.
Veloso, 30, was arrested in 2010 at the airport in the central Indonesian city of Yogyakarta, where officials discovered about 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) of heroin hidden in her lug-gage.
Prasetyo said Veloso was granted a stay of execution because her alleged boss has been arrested in the Philip-pines, and the authorities there re-quested Indonesian assistance in pur-suing the case.
“This delay did not cancel the ex-ecution. We just want to give a chance in relation with the legal process in the Philippines,” Prasetyo said.
Mary Jane Veloso’s mother, Celia, told Manila radio station DZBB from Indonesia that what happened was “a miracle.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iranian forces fired warning shots across the bridge of a Marshall Islands-flagged cargo vessel as it was travers-ing the Strait of Hormuz, boarded the ship and directed it toward the Irani-an mainland, a Pentagon official said Tuesday.
The incident with the MV Maersk Tigris, which prompted the U.S. Navy to dispatch a destroyer and a plane in response, comes at a critical time in Iran’s relations with its neighbours and the United States.
The U.S., other world powers and Iran are trying to hammer out a final deal over Iran’s nuclear program. Last week, the U.S. Navy dispatched an air-
craft carrier and guided missile cruis-er to the Arabian Sea amid worries that a convoy of Iranian cargo ships was headed to Yemen to deliver arms to the Shiite rebels fighting to take over Yemen.
And U.S. Navy officials said Tues-day that several Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy vessels had surrounded a U.S.-flagged cargo ship, the Maersk Kensington, last Friday as it was tran-siting the Strait of Hormuz.
No shots were fired, the Iranian ves-sels broke off contact, and the cargo ship proceeded without further inci-dent.
In Tuesday’s incident, the intercept-ed ship was travelling through the nar-row Strait, which is technically Iranian and Omani territorial waters, but un-der international agreement is open to
foreign ships making an innocent pas-sage, said Col. Steve Warren, a Penta-gon spokesman. It wasn’t clear wheth-er the ship had strayed off course into coastal waters not protected by that agreement.
The master of the cargo ship MV Maersk Tigris had initially refused an Iranian order to move further into Iranian waters, but after the warning shots were fired the vessel complied, Warren said.
The cargo ship was directed to wa-ters near Larak Island, he said. The island sits off the major Iranian port of Bandar Abbas and is one of several in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state television reported that only 24 crew were onboard the vessel, and hailed from Britain, Bul-garia, Romania and Myanmar. It said
the ship was seized based on a court order due to unspecified violations. Iranian officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Bandar Abbas is the main port for Iran’s Navy and separate naval forces operated by the elite Revolutionary Guard, as well as the country’s pri-mary commercial port. It overlooks the Strait of Hormuz, the highly strategic waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf.
The strait is the route for about a fifth of the world’s oil and is only about 33 kilometres (21 miles) wide at its nar-rowest point.
Ships traversing the chokepoint have even less room to manoeuvr. The shipping lane in either direction is only two miles wide, with a two-mile buffer zone between them.

TODAY IN HISTORY
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTIAGO, Chile — The eruption of Chile’s Calbuco volcano threatens to cause widespread, lasting economic damage, turning cattle pastures barren and choking fish with volcanic ash in one of the world’s top salmon-produc-ing countries.
Thousands of cattle and sheep in danger of dying have been evacuat-ed in Los Lagos. The region produced about 950 million litres of milk last year worth about $346 million, said Ema Budinich of the National Agricul-ture Society.
“About 50 per cent of Chile’s milk production is located in Los Lagos, so this is affecting the whole industry,” Budinich said on Tuesday.
Emir Jadue of the Chamber of Com-merce in the nearby city of Puerto Varas estimated the costs at about $600 million and a 50 per cent drop in the region’s hotel industry.
Official damage estimates are not available yet, but Eduardo Aguilera of the National Fishing Service says about 20 million fish have died.
Calbuco roared back to life Wednes-day after lying dormant since 1972. It billowed ash about 11 miles (18 kilo-metres) high in the initial blast, then several hours later produced a sec-
ond, spectacular outburst that turned the nighttime sky reddish orange and caused huge lightning bolts to crackle through its ash plume.
Some 4,500 people have been evacu-ated. But the Los Lagos agricultural service says more than 45,000 animals remain at risk from eating plants and drinking water contaminated by vol-canic ashes. Experts say the soil in the area may not recover for over a year.
The animals “are practically with-out food because the pasture ceased to exist. They’re roaming on volcanic rock,” said Rodrigo Lavin, head of a farming group in Llanquihue, a prov-ince of Los Lagos. The mighty blasts left Ensenada, just about 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Calbuco’s peak, a ghost town, abandoned most of by its 1,500 residents. At the foot of the vol-cano, military officials and some re-turned residents have been clearing the thick soot that covers the town.
“Our three horses, which had been missing since the eruption, fi-nally came back yesterday gaunt and thirsty,” said Daniel Patricio Gonzalez who left town with his wife and chil-dren. “But many other people have had to sacrifice their sheep because packs of hungry wild dogs have been eating them,” Gonzales said. “The loss-es from this eruption are huge, but the animals are the ones who are suffering the most.”

The volcano, which had been dormant for more than four decades, had two huge eruptions this week. The head of the National Mining and Geology Service said the volcano’s eruptive process could last weeks and even months and warned that a third eruption was possible.

Wednesday, April 29CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Uma Thurman,
45; Daniel Day-Lewis, 58; Michelle Pfeiffer, 57
THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The Virgo Moon favours being practical and organized.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are very self-possessed. Just make sure you don’t get so wrapped up in personal projects that you ne-glect the needs of loved ones.
October and December are fab-ulous months for love.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Has a problem been worrying you and causing sleepless nights?
Today a friend or colleague of-fers some welcome — and sensible — advice.
Just make sure you’re smart enough to take it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): With the Sun, Mercury and Mars all moving through your sign, the more creative, ar-ticulate and proactive you are, the more successful you’ll be. Show others what you are really capable of.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you making the most of Venus visiting your sign?
It’s time to flirt up a storm or call in some old favours, as you charm and persuade others around to your way of think-ing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Crabs are romantic and sentimental creatures, but don’t end up being a martyr in re-lationships.
Pluto helps you find the inner resolve to transform a part-nership in a positive new direction.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo is a fixed sign, and you can be very stubborn and set in your habits and beliefs.
Aim to be more adaptable and flexible today, as you focus attention on your health and fitness.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You mean well but avoid over committing your time, talent and energy.
With Venus visiting your work zone, patch up professional problems and deal with disagreements in a diplomatic fashion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How well do you really know loved ones?
There is still plenty to explore as you dig deeper and gain valuable insights into the inner workings of family members — and yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Group activities are fa-
voured, as long as you are prepared to compromise. But don’t believe everything a child, teenager, friend or
acquaintance tells you. You may not be hearing the full story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re centre stage
today Sagittarius, as others look to you for leadership, fresh ideas or general guidance.
If you have a job interview, make sure you have prepared meticulously.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The stars favour getting involved in charitable work with a global reach, or helping someone closer to home. But don’t accept things at face value today Capricorn — look a lot deeper.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A confusing money matter starts to gain more clarity. If you don’t like what you see, then make changes that allow for more discipline and transparency in your financial management.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you viewing a current situation through decidedly rose-coloured glasses?
Today’s Virgo Moon will help you be more discriminating, so you start to see things as they really are.

Dear Annie: My brother is 42 and getting married for the first time. His bride-to-be has been married before.
My mom and I would like to give her a bridal shower, but it seems they have most of what they need.
However, they don’t own their own home.
How do we send out invites and ask guests to give money toward either the cost of the wedding or larger purchases like new furniture or a down payment on a home without being rude?
Is there a proper way, or is it not OK to ask for this? — Stumped in Wisconsin
Dear Stumped: It is not OK to expect guests to pay for the wedding.
The bridal couple should have the wedding they can afford. Showers, however, are about gifts, so there is some leeway when it comes to registries.
There are now registries for honeymoons, vaca-
tions and, yes, houses, including furniture and appli-ances.
If the couple has such registries, the websites can be listed on a separate sheet of paper with the shower invitation.
You also can pass along such preferences by word of mouth.
But part of a shower is unwrapping gifts so every-one can “oooh” and “aaah.”
It might be wise for the bride to register at more traditional places where unwanted gifts can be re-turned or exchanged for something more to her lik-ing (after she writes her thank-you notes, of course).
Dear Annie: With your ability to reach many peo-ple, how about a plea to have hooks put in all public restrooms? I’m sure other women also hate to put their purses on the bathroom floor in these public places. — Germs, Yuck
Dear Germs: We suspect most women would rath-er put their purse on their head than drop it on the floor of a public restroom.
If there is no hook, try resting the purse strap over the door latch.
If that doesn’t work, there may be space on the toi-let paper dispenser.
You also could place your purse on your lap (awk-ward, but doable), or get a purse with a shoulder strap and don’t take it off at all.
And you might look into purchasing a little plastic hook that will slip over a door and hold a purse, of-ten available at drugstores or hardware stores. (But do be careful if you hang this over the door, as some-one can lift it from the outside.)
As always, if there is a manager with whom to reg-ister a complaint, do so.
Dear Annie: I’d like to help those who feel the same as “Also Lonely in Chesapeake, Va.,” the 29-year-old virgin who hasn’t found Mr. Right. I know it may sound strange in this day and age, but 15 years ago, my husband was a virgin.
Due to low self-esteem and a lack of self-confi-dence, he was afraid to ask a woman out.
We were 43 when we met, and I am so glad.We’ve had 15 very happy years, and I hope there
are many more to come. — DonnaAnnie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and

Firefighters rescue man who wedged himself inside wall to hide from police
but couldn’t escapeMONROVIA, Ind. — A central Indiana man who
hid inside a wall in his home to avoid arrest had to be rescued by firefighters after he became wedged next to its chimney for more than a day.
Steven Shuler was trying to avoid arrest on a probation violation when he squeezed down a nar-row hole in the attic floor next to the chimney in his home in Monrovia, about 25 miles southwest of In-dianapolis, officials said.
Morgan Township Fire Chief Miguel Ongay said Shuler had to stay in his 16 inch-wide hiding place for more than a day because he couldn’t climb out. A visiting friend found him the next morning and called firefighters to retrieve him.
Ongay said he had never encountered anything like that in three decades on the job.
