Following are some of the high-
lights from the life of Father
Charlie Cheverie:
- Born in 1932 in Charlottetown
- Ordained in 1957
- Professor of biology at St. Dun-
stan’s and then UPEI until his
retirement in 1997
- Served as chaplain at UPEI for
15 years after that
- Recipient of the Order of P.E.I.
has balanced it with being a
priest.
Cheverie will celebrate his
60th anniversary as a priest
on Sunday, June 18 (he was
actually ordained on June 15,
1957) with mass at St. Eugene’s
Church in Covehead at 11 a.m.,
followed by a reception and
open house at the North Shore
Community Centre, 12:30-2:30
p.m.
Cheverie was in Covehead
for 40 of his 60 years as a
priest.
“I thank the Lord for permit-
ting me to grow in the different
age brackets that I found myself
in, from my school days to my
college days to my early priest-
hood days,’’ Cheverie said.
“The students were lively, the
parishioners were lively (and)
the community of Covehead
was lively for me.’’
His faith continued to grow
at every stage of his life, en-
trenched in him by his mother,
who was an avid churchgoer.
That faith continued to grow
through Queens Square School,
sports and the seminary before
he experienced a brief hiccup at
the university level.
“It took me a couple of
years to really see that I had a
mission there at the university,
that there was a ministry in
these young people. They be-
came part of my support sys-
tem, too.’’
After his 38-year career as a
biology professor at UPEI, he
served as the university’s chap-
lain for the next 15 years.
Fiddling has also been a big
part of his life.
He got involved in traditional
fiddling in the late 1970s and
in 1982 focused on the Queens
County chapter.

Prince Edward Island’s Mi’kmaq chiefs and the Mi’kmaq Confederacy of P.E.I. have filed for an interim injunction against Don McDougall, new owner of
the Mill River Resort.
FROM A1
The deal itself was revealed
publicly on Jan. 12, when gov-
ernment announced it was
selling 325 acres of Crown land
as part of a 20-year agreement
with McDougall that would see
him purchase the Mill River golf
course, resort, campground
and fun park for $500,000. The
province committed to invest
$6 million in capital improve-
ments over 12 years and an-
other $1.6 million for some
anticipated operational losses
in the first six years. Govern-
ment also purchased the resort
from Rodd Resorts for $1.8 mil-
lion and gave it to McDougall as
part of the agreement.
Conversations about the sale
of this property and the other
three provincially-owned golf
courses began back in 2012,
when the province announced
its intentions to sell the money-
losing courses, court docu-
ments show.
In an affidavit filed in the Su-
preme Court, Don MacKenzie,
the executive director of the
Q RELIGION
Mi’kmaq Confederacy of P.E.I.
(MCPEI), says they first raised
concern over not being con-
sulted when a story appeared
in The Guardian in November
2014 indicating the province
was in discussions with a pro-
spective buyer for the Mill River
golf course.
“The Mi’kmaq of P.E.I. in-
formed the province that this
was surprising considering they
had not yet received any consul-
tation notification,” MacKenzie
states in his affidavit.
This began a series of back-
and-forth correspondence be-
tween the province and MCPEI,
in which the two parties dis-
cussed the request for consul-
tation and the Mi’kmaq’s claim
that the property contained
archeological sites historically
significant to the Mi’kmaq.
The province disputes this
claim, citing a 1984 survey that
found no archeological sites
within five kilometres of the
lands.
The Mi’kmaq officially ob-
jected to the sale of Mill River in

Man jailed for probation No review of appeal decision

breach, other charges in teacher dispute
John Wayne Blaisdell has expletive-filled outburst
in court after sentencing on three charges
BY RYAN ROSS
THE GUARDIAN
A Charlottetown man who was seen
talking to a woman who wasn’t sup-
posed to have any contact with him was
sentenced Monday to 105 days in jail on
three charges.
But, John Wayne Blaisdell, 32, didn’t
take the sentence well and left the court-
room after an expletive-filled outburst
from the prisoners’ box.
Blaisdell appeared before Chief Judge
Nancy Orr in provincial court in Char-
lottetown where she sentenced him for
breaching his probation, failing to at-
tend court and abetting a woman in the
breach of a probation order.
Orr gave Blaisdell, who has been in
custody since his arrest, credit for 25
days leaving him 80 days left to serve.
The court heard someone reported
seeing Blaisdell talking to the woman in
October 2016, which was a violation of
her probation.
Blaisdell was also charged for failing to

report to his own probation officer.
He then missed a court date in Febru-
ary.
After Orr sentenced Blaisdell, he sat
in the prisoners’ box in the courtroom
while another matter was dealt with and
was quiet at first.
When Orr returned to the bench after
a break she mentioned that Blaisdell and
the woman were communicating with
each other in the courtroom, despite
court orders that they have no contact.
That started Blaisdell’s outburst.
“Am I in control of this courtroom?”
he asked.
At one point Blaisdell wiped tears
from his face after saying all he wanted
was to be a father.
He later shook as he sat with his face
in his hands.
Once all of the day’s matters were
done and sheriffs led him out of the
courtroom, Blaisdell swore as he said the
justice system was a joke.

Q CONVENTION
‘All kinds of
different options’
Funeral Service Association of Canada meeting in Charlottetown
includes wide range of innovative products on display
Caley Ferguson, president of Northern Casket in Lindsay, Ont., stands beside a Canada 150 casket at the Funeral Service Association of Canada’s trade
show in Charlottetown on Wednesday. The casket was meant as a novelty item to draw people into their booth and is the only one the company made.
It will be auctioned off to a funeral home in Canada in time for the winning business to have it in its lobby by July 1.
BY DAVE STEWART
THE GUARDIAN
Someone in Canada could
spend eternity in a coffin that
celebrates Canada’s 150th an-
niversary.
It was one of the items on dis-
play Wednesday at the Funeral
Service Association of Canada’s
(FSAC) annual convention,
being held this week in Char-
lottetown.
The coffin, emblazoned with
the Canadian flag inside and
out, was manufactured by
Northern Casket, a funeral com-
pany based out of Lindsay, Ont.,
which now has a warehouse in
Moncton, N.B.
“It’s a one-off, it won’t be in
our production line, completely
special,’’ said Caley Ferguson,
president of Northern Casket.
“It’s one of those gimmicky
things that draws people into
our booth.’’
While he doubts anyone
will ever get buried in it, it’s
being auctioned off and it will
be up to the winning funeral
home as to what ends up hap-
pening to it.
“It’s going to take a real
specific family to buy this.’’
Also on display at

promotion
A City of Charlottetown em-
ployee is now going door-to-
door promoting a citywide alert
system for the public.
The program is for people
who live or work in the capital
city who want to get phone, text
and/or email notices of things
like evacuation orders, severe
weather or sudden road clos-
ures.
Residents can also sign up
for notices about when winter
parking restrictions are put in
place and when community
events are happening.
Each resident or person
working in Charlottetown can
choose which notifications
to receive and how to receive
them, such as by home, mobile
or business phone, email or text
message.
It is called the Charlottetown
Alert System but was formerly
called the Mass Notification
System.
Participation is free, and sign-
ing up can be done online, but
the process is multiple pages
and requires the creation of
a profile, including creating a
username, password and secur-

Q MUNICIPAL
Committee opposes
decrease in pension
plan contributions
Summerside’s committee of
council has decided to ignore a
recommendation from its pen-
sion plan committee to reduce
contribution rates from 11 per
cent to 10 per cent.
In September of 2012, coun-
cil approved a plan to increase
the contribution rate from nine
per cent to 12 per cent in order
to tackle the pension plan’s un-
funded liability of $4.7 million.
The idea was to start paying
off the unfunded liability and
slowly bring the contribution
rate back down.
The current unfunded liabil-
ity stands at $1.7 million as of
the end of 2016 and continues
to see positive returns.
Given the positive direction
of the repayments, the commit-
tee overseeing the fund recom-
mended that the contribution
rate be reduced as planned
starting in July.
However, some councillors
expressed a desire to keep the
higher rate of contributions for
another year to help pay down
the unfunded liability faster.
Council decided not to act on
the recommendation.

Charlottetown resident cherishes his post-stroke life

BY JIM DAY
THE GUARDIAN

Positive perspective has re-

placed the paralysis Tim Bolger
suffered temporarily following a
stroke.
The 53-year-old Charlotte-
town resident chooses to cher-
ish what he still has rather than
lament what has been stripped
away.
“It’s definitely had a signifi-
cant impact, but not all of it is
bad,’’ he says.
“I have really learned how to
live in the day.’’
Bolger’s life has been clearly
altered since an ischemic stroke
caused by a blood clot sent him
to hospital on Nov. 20, 2015.
First, he had some paralysis
on his right side. Speech was
also a challenge.
For 10 days — a period he
calls a blur — Bolger received

Age is the strongest risk factor for

— There are more than 10,000 children
in Canada aged 18 years or younger liv-
ing with stroke.
While some excellent resources are
available in communities, they are too
few and are mostly in major centres,
cautions Heart and Stroke.
Barriers also exist around awareness,
access and cost. Recovery needs can
change over time, and some challenges
are specific to particular ages but others
are consistent across life stages.
“Two-thirds of stroke survivors return
home, and family caregivers play an es-
sential role in their recovery,’’ Heart &
Stroke states in a release.
“The stroke caregiver role starts
abruptly and they rarely receive the
preparation they need. They must adapt
quickly and learn to be experts and advo-
cates, attend appointments and update
various health professionals. Caregivers
can experience negative impacts on
their mental and physical health and on
their work/career and finances and have
less time for other family obligations.’’
According to the poll of Canadians, 31
per cent of respondents said they would
not feel capable of personally caring for a
family member who experienced stroke.
Their top three concerns are lack of skills
and ability to provide care, finances and
not having free time or help from others.

Innu leader
issues plea
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — An ab-
original leader in Labrador
who recently lost his 16-year-
old son to suicide is calling
on the federal and provincial
governments to dramatically
alter the way they treat Innu
youth with substance abuse
problems.
Simeon Tshakapesh, deputy
grand chief of the Innu Na-
tion, has written an intensely
raw account of how the Innu
of Labrador have suffered
over the years, and he says
the province’s Department of
Children, Seniors and Social
Development failed his son,
Thunderheart, who died on
May 24.
In an open letter, Tshakapesh
says despite his deep sor-
row and anger, he wants
to see the provincial and
federal governments invest
in an Innu-led project that
would put an end to having
troubled children and youth
removed from their commu-
nities — as his son was for
two years.
He says the removal process
may keep vulnerable youth
safe and sober, but it also
destroys connections to their
family, language and com-
munity.
Instead, Tshakapesh says
future treatment programs
must focus on helping
children and youth learn
how to survive off the land in
the wilder corners of
Labrador, a process that
would revive the proud his-
tory of the Innu as nomadic
hunters.

Her death is being treated as

Const. Dianne Penfound said
officers were examining the
area, which is near a busy
street that has restaurants,
homes and a convenience
store, to see if anyone saw
anything before the young
woman was discovered.
She said they received a 911
call at about 10 p.m. report-
ing that a woman appeared
to be in medical distress near
a path between Albro Lake
Road and Farrell Street.
She said officers found the
young woman and she re-
quired immediate medical
help but could not elaborate
on her condition.
The woman, whose identity
was not being released, was
rushed to hospital where she
later died.

EAST AMHERST
Talk about your encounter of the cutest kind.
Joanne Gibson was looking out the back win-
dow of her Tyndal Road home near Amherst on
Sunday evening when she saw a rather large bear
approaching the house.
“We get bears every year out here and usually
they’re very close to the woods, but this one was
getting close to the house,” Gibson said. “We had
a fresh load of topsoil put in and I think that was
attracting her. She must have smelled the fresh
mud.”
Gibson went onto her deck and made as much
as noise as she could, urging the bear to retreat to
her den. Finally her husband, Steve, made some
noise by honking a vehicle horn and they figured
the bear would be gone for good. But, just a few
moments later it returned and this time it had
company.
“He went out and honked the horn and off she
went back into the woods. It wasn’t very long that
we looked out and she was back again, but this
time she had three little cubs with her,” she said.
“They stayed there for an hour.”
Gibson said there are at least three dens in the
back part of the property, so seeing bears is not
uncommon. She has seen cubs in the past, but
never that close. She estimates the bears got as
close as approximately 20 feet from the home.
She used her telephoto lens to take some
photos and shared them on social media. The
photos were shared more than 500 times within
just a few hours.

Q CONSTITUTION

Quebec’s federation paper offers nothing new

Titled “Being Québécois: It’s
our way of being Canadians,”
Quebec’s most comprehensive
paper on its place in the fed-
eration in more than 20 years is
little more than a bottle thrown
in the ocean.
Premier Philippe Couillard
has no real expectation that it
will be fished out any time soon,
if ever. He would probably be
the first to be surprised if his in-
itiative led to any kind of a con-
stitutional denouement.
Prime Minister Justin Tru-
deau is not about to let the
constitutional genie out of the
bottle, and not just because the
prospect of a successful resolu-
tion of Quebec’s constitutional
agenda is dim at best.
Even if Trudeau did not have
his hands full on the Canada-
U.S. front, there is no indication
that he is more enamoured of
Quebec’s central demand for
the formal recognition of its dis-
tinctiveness than his father was.
The current prime minister
was not yet an MP at the time of
Chantal
Hébert
National
Affairs
Stephen Harper’s 2006 Quebec
nation motion. He did not cast
a vote.
But the issue was also a de-
fining feature of that same fall’s
Liberal leadership race. In that
campaign Trudeau cast his lot
with former Ontario minister
Gerald Kennedy, the leading
candidate who was most vocal
in his opposition to the motion.
For his part, Conservative
Leader Andrew Scheer cut his
teeth in politics on the Reform
side of the conservative move-
ment at a time when opposition
to the constitutional recogni-
tion of Quebec’s distinctive
character was one of the party’s
core dogma. He is not about to
start his tenure by going to war
with part of his base.
The NDP’s Thomas Mulcair
did have good words for Couil-
lard’s initiative. But he sounded
more like the former Quebec
Liberal that he is than the fed-
eral leader who, in the last elec-
tion, seemed to suggest that he
could negotiate the abolition of
the senate without engaging in
a full-fledged Quebec round.
Unless Mulcair’s successor
wants to campaign on reopen-
ing the Quebec/Canada consti-
tutional front in 2019, the NDP
might consider setting aside its
senate plank.
But, be that as it may, they,
and not their counterparts
in the rest of Canada, are the
prime target audience for Couil-
lard’s bid.
The Parti Québécois is not the
only Quebec party that has used
sovereignty as the glue to bind
its supporters; since 1995, the
fear of a return to referendum
politics has driven scores of vot-
ers to the Liberals.
Now that PQ Leader Jean-
François Lisée has ruled out a
referendum until at least 2023,
voters who used the Liberals
as an insurance policy against
a return of the sovereigntists
to power are freer to look else-
where. Recent polls suggest
that quite a few are giving the
nationalist Coalition Avenir
Quebec another look. It is now
the leading party among franco-
phone voters.
Time will tell whether mov-
ing his constitutional agenda
from the storage room to the
Liberal window will allow Pre-
mier Couillard to stop some of
his 2014 supporters from shop-
ping elsewhere. It could be that
the Quebec Liberals can no
more hang on to the favourable
alignment that has kept them in
power for most of the post-ref-
erendum era than their sover-
eigntist foes could maintain the
momentum that almost gave
them a victory in 1995.
The document amounts to al-
most 200 pages of cheat codes
to grasp the rationale that
guides Quebec and its National
Assembly in their dealings with
their federation partners.
As the paper notes, those
dealings extend far beyond the
relatively narrow field of Que-
bec’s long-standing constitu-
tional concerns.
It was written under the
supervision of the province’s
most federalist party. But a non-
Liberal government, operating
within the existing Canadian
framework, would bring little
more to the federal-provincial
files than variations along the
same themes.
Long-time Quebec-watchers
will be familiar with the paper’s
rhetoric and the autonomist
thread that runs through it.
That thread predates the 1960
Quebec Quiet Revolution. The
news, if any, is that, when it
comes to its relationship to fed-
eralism, there is nothing funda-
mentally new under the Quebec
sun.

Q CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS
1959-60 Habs greatest ever
Unfortunate NHL resorted to fan voting; very few who voted
old enough to remember Original Six dynasties
BY JOHN MCMILLAN
GUEST OPINION
This week, as part of its 100
centennial celebration, the
National Hockey League an-
nounced that the 1984-1985
Edmonton Oilers had been se-
lected by fans as the greatest
NHL team of all time.
With the greatest respect to
Wayne Gretzky and the 1984-
1985 Edmonton Oilers and the
3.6 million fans who voted, a
careful study of the NHL rec-
ord book would show that the
1959-1960 Montreal Canadiens
had a more talented and distin-
guished roster and a superior
record than the 1984-1985 Ed-
monton Oilers.
The 1984-1985 Edmonton
Oilers were unquestionably a
great team. The Oilers swept
the Los Angeles Kings and the
Winnipeg Jets in the first two
rounds of the playoffs and de-
feated the Chicago Blackhawks
in the conference final. The Oil-
ers then defeated the Philadel-
phia Flyers in the final to win
its second consecutive Stanley
Cup. The team had six future
Hall of Famers -Wayne Gretzky,
Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Jari
Kurri, Grant Fuhr and Glenn
Anderson.
The 1959-1960 Montreal
Canadiens breezed through
the regular season with the
NHL’s best record of 40 wins, 18
losses and 12 ties in a 70 game
Q EDUCATION
Be wary of private schools
A word of caution about local autonomy and of politics that erode universal, publicly funded, quality education
BY LYNNE THIELE
GUEST OPINION
The subject of standardized
testing is an important part of
the discussion of what we want
as educations’ systems evolve
and change. Children have al-
ways reached to learn the ways
of their world. It is natural to
them and they must, as I did,
find a meaningful education,
outside the school building.
My old textbooks taught lit-
erature, chemistry, geometry-
trigonometry lessons that
deadened the mind and gave
little value to our futures. We
Q SIX-DAY WAR ANNIVERSARY
The Fifty-Year War continues unabated in Israel
As Israeli columnist Gid-
eon Levy wrote recently in the
daily Haaretz: “In retrospect, it
should be called the Fifty-Year
War, not the Six-Day War. And
judging by the political situa-
tion, its life expectancy appears
endless.”
Gwynne

Affairs
This week (June 5-10) is the
50th anniversary of the brief
war in 1967 that added the Old
City of Jerusalem, the West
Bank, the Golan Heights and
the Gaza Strip to the Israeli
state, increasing the area ruled
by Israel by one-third and the
population under its control by
more than a third.
But the problem was and re-
mains that all that new popula-
tion was Arabs. Palestinians, to
be precise.
No Israeli Jew actually
wanted all those extra Arabs,
but it turned out that quite a
few of them did want the extra
land. They hadn’t thought about

the one and only measure of

Students, teachers, and ad-
ministrators now face inter-
national standardized tests
that are becoming the be all

Teachers are not anti-testing or
anti-assessment but the stan-
dardized testing movement
is a way to de-professionalize

guered people at constant risk
of being “driven into the sea” by
the Arabs. But now they knew
that they were strong enough to
keep the land if they wanted to.
The Arab armies were poorly
trained and badly led, and
they served governments so
incompetent that, despite an
overall ten-to-one Arab su-
periority in population, Israeli
troops actually outnumbered
Arab soldiers on the battlefield
in 1967 (and in every subse-
quent war).

Day War as the dwarf super-
power of the Middle East,
unbeatable by any combination
of Arab states. And the Arabs

critical thinking is pushed
away. Standardization is the
enemy of innovation and im-
agination and the teaching of
democracy with free speech
and dissent.
Selling standardized test-
ing is a benefit to commercial
enterprises but it requires the
teachers give up their profes-
sionalism and turn into facili-
tators of classrooms of laptops
and software. In the state of
Michigan, teachers’ salaries
dropped from $65,000 a year, to
$36,000.
The Global Education Reform
Movement (GERM) is infecting
notion for Israelis, and the new
territories actually added to
their security by giving them
some “strategic depth”.
(Before they captured the
West Bank, Israel was only 14
km wide at its narrowest point.)
Moreover, the West Bank had
been part of historic Israel
2,000 years ago, and many Is-
raelis saw it as land sacred to
the Jews.
So Jews started settling
throughout the conquered
lands with tacit and later open
government support, to the
utter dismay of the Palestin-
ians who saw their future state
disappearing before their eyes,
and the Fifty-Year War began.

the Canadian system.
In British Columbia, where
there has been starving of
publicly funded schools and
increased funding of private
schools, the teachers’ salaries
have gone from one of the high-
est in Canada to one of the low-
est.
I, along with Michael Red-
mond, welcome real improve-
ments made to education but
remain concerned about the
GERM with its absolute author-
ity based on standardized tests
that always comes with the cen-
tralization of power that was
previously in local hands.
it is unrivalled in its ability to
stymie all attempts at a peace-
ful settlement.
Only three months after the
1967 war ended Amos Oz, later
to become one of Israel’s most
celebrated writers, wrote: “We
are condemned now to rule
people who do not want to be
ruled by us. I have fears about
the kind of seeds we will sow in
the near future in the hearts of
the occupied. Even more, I have
fears about the seed that will be
planted in the hearts of the oc-
cupiers.”
How right he was. The news-
paper he wrote that in, Davar,
died long ago. The Labour Party
it supported, which dominated
Israeli politics for the first three
decades after independence, is
now a mere shadow of its for-
mer self. Instead, the political
high ground is held by ultra-na-
tionalist, hard-right parties that
are in thrall to the half-million-
strong Jewish “settler” popula-
tion in the occupied Palestinian
territories.
Most Israelis want to keep
these lands, including some ex-
tremists who would kill or die
to keep them (like Yigal Amir,
who in 1995 murdered Yitzhak
Rabin, the last Israeli prime
minister to enter into serious
negotiations with the Palestin-
ians).

Chicago Blackhawks in the final
for its fifth consecutive Stanley
Cup.
No other team in the 100-year
history of the NHL has won five
consecutive Stanley Cups.
The 1959-1960 Montreal
Canadiens had eight future Hall
of Famers on its roster — Mau-
rice Richard, Henri Richard,
Doug Harvey, Bernie Geoffrion,
Dickie Moore, Jean Beliveau,
Tom Johnson and Jacques
Plante.
The only other NHL team to
have more Hall of Famers on its
roster in one year was the 1966-
1967 Toronto Maple Leafs with
nine.
(The 1978-1979 Montreal
Canadiens also had eight future
Hall of Famers on its roster.)
In my view, it is unfortunate
that the NHL resorted to a fan
vote to select the NHL’s great-
est team.
Very few of the fans who
voted would be old enough to
remember or be aware of the
great teams and players who
played in the pre-expansion
era of the NHL Original Six,
particularly the great Montreal
Canadiens dynasty which won
five consecutive Stanley Cups
from 1956 to 1960.

No Israelis want to include
the Palestinians in these ter-
ritories into Israel as citizens.
If they ever did, half the vot-
ers in the next election would
be Arabs, and Israel would no
longer be a “Jewish state”. But
they can’t get rid of those Pales-
tinians either without commit-
ting a horrendous crime.
So they are stuck, and Israeli
politics has been paralyzed for
the past 20 years. The man who
has led Israel for more than
half that time, Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu, epitom-
izes that paralysis. He says he
wants peace, and no doubt he
really does — but he also wants
to keep the land, or at least
most of it, and his coalition
government would collapse if
he ever seriously considered
giving it back.
The great majority of Jewish
Israelis, living in “old” Israel
within the pre-1967 borders,
rarely focus on this question,
but they would be just as div-
ided and paralyzed if they ever
had to answer it.
This is not the end of the
Fifty-Year War. It may just be
the mid-point in the Hundred-

She’s worn the Maple Leaf

Where the next road takes
her is still to be determined, but
it might not include the sport
she has shined in for years.
“My hockey career right now
is a little bit in the air,” she said
Wednesday. “I’m kind of taking
on a new role as a coach and
potentially stepping away from
actually being a player myself.
At the same time, I felt like I
am still in pretty good shape
and have been training hard all
year, so I thought I could take
up something new.”
That something new could
become clear in the coming
weeks.
On Saturday, the 23-year-old
will take part in the RBC Train-
ing Ground regional event in
Halifax. She was invited to
compete after being the top
female participant at the Char-
lottetown test on April 30.
Saturday’s event, an initia-

and RBC, will bring 100 new
and undiscovered athletes into
Canada’s Olympic talent pool.
Officials from national sports
organizations, representing

polo, will be searching for hid-

Pens looking
for ‘best game’
from Malkin,
Kessel tonight
BY JONAS SIEGEL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
PITTSBURGH
Evgeni Malkin expects Phil
Kessel to score in tonight’s
Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final,
and anticipates his own “best
game” too.
The Penguins will likely need
Malkin and Kessel at their best
to wrestle back control of a ser-
ies that’s lately gone the Preda-
tors way. Nashville captured
Games 3 and 4 in front of a rau-
cous home crowd and did so,
in part, by continuing to stifle
the two-headed offensive mon-
ster that lines up behind Sidney
Crosby.
“It’s time,” Malkin said. “It’s
a good time to show your best
game because there’s only three
games left and (then) we have
two, three months (of) sum-
mertime.”
Game 5 is scheduled for a 9
p.m. Atlantic start.
Malkin, the leading scorer in
the playoffs (26 points), went
pointless with only two shots
in the two defeats and has been
suffocated – all series really – by
the Preds’ menacing duo of P.K.
Subban and Mattias Ekholm.
The big Russian boasts an ugly
39 per cent possession mark
in the four games so far with
five-on-five scoring chances fa-
vouring Nashville 24-8.
Kessel hasn’t scored since
Game 5 of the Eastern Confer-
ence final (six games), mean-
while, and has been held to just
a single assist so far this series.
“I missed a couple shots that
I probably don’t want to miss,”
the fully-bearded Wisconsinite
said after practice on Wednes-
day morning. “You want to bury
them but sometimes they don’t
go in.”
Kessel has scored more goals
on a per-game basis in the play-
offs (0.43 for his career) than
any current player not named
Alex Ovechkin or Jarome Iginla
(minimum 50 games). He trails
only Malkin and Crosby with
20 points this post-season and
appears due to come through,
posting maybe his finest game
of the final in a Game 4 loss with
eight attempts on goal.
To his point, three missed the
net, another three were blocked
and only two found their way
to Pekka Rinne – both of which
were stopped.
“He hasn’t scored in a long
time,” Malkin said, noting the
need for the Penguins leaders to
rise up. “But now it’s time. Last
game I think he (played his) best
game in this series, and I see he
is like ice, (but) he plays so hard,
and I believe, I feel it (Thursday),
he’ll (play a) great game.”
Kessel had 10 goals and 22
points during last year’s Cup
run while firing more than
four shots per-game – mostly
alongside Nick Bonino and
Carl Hagelin. With Malkin, he’s
shot the puck a lot less (2.8 per-
game) but still remained largely
productive.
Asked how he’d managed
to come through previously
when under pressure Kes-
sel responded in typical easy-
going fashion: “Just do whatever
I do.”
Malkin, the second highest
producing current player in
the post-season after Crosby,
wanted to do a better job him-
self of keeping and shooting the
puck more. He has only four
shots in the series, including a
shot-less Game 3.
“It’s not easy, but I know I can
be better myself,” Malkin said.

ing two-run homer in the 10th
against his former club, Justin
Smoak also homered in the in-
ning for his second long ball of
the day, and the Toronto Blue
Jays avoided a sweep by beating
the Athletics 7-5 on Wednesday.
“Any home run’s nice. . . To
be able to come through for my
team like that, with the circum-
stances, I was able to do that a
few times when I played here,
too,” Donaldson said. “It was
nice to kind of be able to come

situation.”
Q ATHLETICS
Ready for top spot
De Grasse says he has ‘great chance’
to beat Bolt in August
BY ANDREW DAMPF
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROME
Andre De Grasse isn’t inter-
ested in taking over from Usain
Bolt as the world’s best sprinter
when the eight-time Olympic
champion retires later this year.
He’s ready now.
“I’m trying to win this year. I
feel like I have a great chance
and that’s what I want to do,”
De Grasse told The Associated
Press ahead of today’s Golden
Gala Pietro Mennea meet,
where the Canadian will run the
200 metres.
Bolt won’t be running in
Rome, but De Grasse is looking
forward to racing the Jamaican
great at the world champion-
ships in London in August.
“I feel like I have a great
chance in both events – 100 or
200,” De Grasse said. “If I can
execute my race and I’m in top
shape I feel like I can do that.”
The 22-year-old De Grasse
took silver behind Bolt in the
200 at the Olympics in Rio de
Janeiro and bronze behind Bolt
and Justin Gatlin in the 100.
Having also anchored Canada
to a bronze medal in the 4x100
relay in Rio, De Grasse became
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Chris Coghlan cannot catch an RBI-double hit
by Oakland Athletics’ Khris Davis Wednesday in Oakland, Calif.
Frankie Montas (1-1) plunked
Kevin Pillar to start the inning
and bring up Donaldson, who
clobbered a 1-2 fastball that
cleared the wall in left-centre.
Liam Hendriks tossed two
perfect innings over the eighth
and ninth with three strikeouts
for the A’s, but Montas couldn’t
hold down Donaldson. After
drawing three walks, the 2015
AL MVP hit his seventh homer
the first Canadian sprinter to
win three medals in a single
Olympics.
De Grasse pushed Bolt so
hard in the semifinals of the
200 in Rio Bolt acknowledged
it was draining and prevented
him from improving his world
record a night later.
So what would it take to beat
Bolt in the 100 in August?
“No idea. It’s anybody’s game.
You can’t name a time,” De
Grasse said. “It’s always about
weather and conditions and
those types of things. But it’s
going to obviously take a well-
executed race. I have to be at
the top of my game and if I can
do that I can do something spe-
cial.”
De Grasse is working on
improving his starts, which also
happens to be the only area that
Bolt struggles in.
“If I can have a great start and
try to hold the lead that would
be great,” De Grasse said. “My
top-end speed is good. It’s all
about finding the right factors
to go out there and win.”
As a teen, De Grasse ran one
of his first races wearing basket-
ball shorts and borrowed shoes.
He stood up in the blocks while
others crouched.

with the skipper’s bobblehead
doll as a parting gift.
Ryan Tepera (4-1) pitched a
1-2-3 ninth for the win, while
Roberto Osuna finished for his
14th save.
Pillar hit a three-run homer
in the second after Smoak’s solo
shot earlier in the inning.
Chad Pinder’s sacrifice fly in
the fifth following a leadoff triple
by Rajai Davis tied the game 4-4.
Davis also doubled twice and
matched his career high with
four hits, doing it for the 10th
time and first since last July 2 at
Toronto while with Cleveland.
“I’m just hoping that that’s the
beginning of something that will
AP PHOTO continue,” he said.

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — A triple-

day with the Crown telling
Major expansion
the court the suspect con-
fessed to police that he killed
all three victims: a father and
daughter and a senior.
Derek Saretzky is charged
with first-degree murder
in the deaths of Terry
Blanchette, 27, two-year-old
Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette
and 69-year-old Hanne Me-
ketech.
The Crown said in its open-
ing statement that Saretzky
had inside knowledge of the
deaths in September 2015.
“He provided details to the
police that only the killer
would know,” prosecutor
Photini Papadatou told the
jury Wednesday.
Jurors also heard that
Saretzky took police to a re-
mote area where the girl’s re-
mains were found in a firepit.
Saretzky, 24, is also charged
with committing an indignity
to the girl’s body.
He has pleaded not guilty to
all the charges. The trial is ex-
pected to last several weeks.

VANCOUVER
Former British Columbia
politician Grace McCarthy has
been remembered as a cham-
pion of a province she loved,
but it was kindness that set her
apart in a remarkable career
that paved a path for women in
politics and business.
The Social Credit cabinet
minister nicknamed “Amazing
Grace” died on May 24 after a
lengthy battle with a brain tu-
mour.
She was 89.
An emotional Lt.-Gov. Judith
Guichon told a packed Christ

own floral shop at age 17 and
her business acumen helped her
turn it into a successful chain of
five stores.

by granddaughter Molly Power.
The prayers of intercession
were offered by granddaugh-

Thick ice
traps boats
off N.L.
Five fishermen rescued
from sinking ship
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Unusually heavy Arctic pack
ice has trapped multiple vessels,
stymied the fishing season and
triggered a high-stakes rescue
operation from a sinking ship
off Newfoundland.
Five fishermen were rescued
Wednesday from the Avalon
Princess fishing boat, which
started to take on water after
getting stuck in thick sea ice
near La Scie, N.L.
Trevor Hodgson, the Can-
adian Coast Guard’s super-
intendent of ice operations
for the Atlantic region, said
the heavy ice is more than two
metres thick in some areas off
the province’s northeast coast.
“We had a bit of stuff that
forms over the winter, the nor-
mal ice in the area,” he said.
“What we’re experiencing now
is the ice that has come south
through the Arctic due to melt-
ing up there.”
What’s unusual this year,
Hodgson said, is the way the
winds have pushed the thick
pack ice towards land rather
than out to sea.
He said ice conditions are so
bad the Coast Guard has been
unable to free trapped vessels
with its icebreaker Amundsen.
Three fishing vessels remain
trapped in ice off northeastern
Newfoundland.
“It’s really dangerous for our
icebreakers to go and operate
around fishing vessels because
we’re pushing around these
large pieces of ice that can
cause damage,” Hodgson said.
“It’s a lot of heavier, boulder-like
pieces of ice going towards the
fishing vessels and it’s just not
safe.”
The province’s snow crab
fishing season has been open
for several weeks but most fish-
ermen have been stuck ashore.

itics, McCarthy raised funds for
research to help children with
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative
colitis.

We wish to thank Dad for being our rock, our joy, our calm
during storms, but particularly for loving each one of us
individually and collectively beyond measure.
The news that Dad had a brain tumour was shocking,
but when he pulled through a most difficult operation, we
thought we would have this amazing man in our lives for a
long, long time. On the sunny day of June 8, God took him to his eternal home. We miss him
more than words can describe; however, we remain forever grateful for his place in our lives
and look forward to the day we will be reunited. This generous man donated his tissue and
cornea and we think he would like you to consider organ donation as well.
We felt the genuine outpouring of support from our family and friends, members of the
Catholic Women’s League, RCAF Association, Cornwall Curling Club, Mikinduri Children of
Hope Foundation, North River Women’s Institute, Birthright, parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi,
and staff of Holland College and The Culinary Institute of Canada. Betty and Dale Gallant were
generous beyond measure by vacating their home in Moncton for our extended stay. Our
utmost gratitude to Dr. Brendan Kenny and staff of NICU, Moncton City Hospital, and Dr. George
Saunders and staff of Unit 7, Physical Medicine, QEH. The professionalism of Faye Doucette
and staff at the Belvedere Funeral Home made our difficult time more bearable. Many thanks
to Fr. Bob Coady and all who assisted in making Lew’s farewell profound. The countless people
who fed our bodies as well as our souls helped us to bear the pain. Our thanks to all of you
will be in paying it forward to others.
We love you to the moon and back, Dad!

steak and potato ASSOCIATED PRESS

chip salad Mother’s Day has really co-

on Father’s Day
BY SARA MOULTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In honour of Father’s Day,
I’ve conjured up a recipe fea-
turing an arsenal of steakhouse
delights, starting with steak
itself and including potatoes,
spinach and blue cheese. But
I’ve prepared and combined
these ingredients in a way that’s
slightly healthier than usual,
namely in a salad. The bulk of it
is given over to spinach, toma-
toes and cucumbers. It’s topped
with warm sliced steak (only a
little over 3 ounces per person),
blue cheese dressing and oven-
baked (not deep-fried) potato
chips.
Given that the classic steak-
house steaks - strip, filet mi-
opted brunch (we get it - mi-
mosas), but dads deserve their
special thing, too.
Luckily, Father’s Day falls right
in summer’s sweet spot, just in
time for June’s inaugural grilling.
It may be a cliche, but if your dad
is like the ones we know, you’re
not allowed to handle the steaks.
That still leaves you with maybe
the most important job of all
(don’t tell him we said that): the
sides!
Choosing a side dish often
comes down to a gut feeling:
do these items “go together?”
When pairing sides with a main
course, students at The Culinary
Institute of America are taught
to consider the balance of the
AP PHOTO overall menu.
With Father’s Day right around the corner on June 18, it’s time to start thinking about a special meal for a special This pairing process helps

facts
ABOUT FATHER’S DAY
According to Hallmark, Fath-
1 er’s Day is the fourth-largest
card-sending occasion with 72
million cards given every year.
2 Fifty percent of all Father’s
Day cards are purchased for
fathers and about 20 percent
are given to husbands.
3 Sonora Smart Dodd of Spo-
kane, Wash. is credited with
starting Father’s Day after
hearing a sermon on Mother’s
Day. Dodd wanted to honor
her father William Jackson
Smart, a widower who raised
six children on his own.
4 8.6 million – That’s the total
number of fathers in Canada
(including biological, adoptive
and step fathers), according to
Stats Canada.
A 2010 poll showed that 80
5 per cent of Canadian fathers
simply wanted “quality time
with their families” for Father’s
Day. A similar American poll
also outlined the gifts fathers
wanted absolutely no part in:
ties, “World’s Best Dad” tees,
mugs, dress shirts, and home-
made crafts.
Increasingly available at your
local supermarket, chuck steak
is cut from the shoulder. It’s
tougher than the others I men-
tioned but still plenty flavour-
ful.
And if you’re careful to cook
it no more than medium-rare
and then slice it very thin
against the grain, it won’t seem
chewy at all.
The oven-baked potato chips
are a snap to make and a heck
of a lot less messy than the
deep-fried kind, especially if
you own a mandolin and some
parchment paper. The man-
dolin allows you to slice those
taters paper-thin (be sure,
though, to use the guard when
you slice them!), and the paper
keeps them from sticking to the
sheet pan, which eliminates the
need for a lot of oil.
Still, you want to be care-
ful not to let them become too
brown because they’ll begin to
taste burned. (It’s OK to remove
them from the oven when they
have a few paler spots.) Fair
warning: These chips can be ad-
dictive, even though they’re not
deep-fried.
I promise that your man
will be able to dig into this
dish with no insult to his mas-
culinity ... and the rest of the
family will be thrilled, too.
chip salad
Start to finish: 1 hour 40 minutes
(40 minutes hands-on)
Servings: 6
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus extra
for brushing on the potato slices
1 large russet potato (about 12
ounces), scrubbed but not peeled
Kosher salt
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp minced garlic
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup sour cream
3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
(about 3/4 cup)
1 1/4 pounds chuck steak (1-1 1/4
inches thick)
Black pepper
10 ounces baby spinach
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 cups sliced English cucumber
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line
two sheet pans with parchment
and brush the parchment lightly
with some oil. Slice the potato
lengthwise 1/8-inch thick, prefer-
ably using a mandolin, and arrange
the slices in one layer on the sheet
the potato slices lightly with salt
and bake them on the middle shelf
of the oven until they are golden
brown, about 20 to 25 minutes, re-
moving the chips to a paper towel
lined plate as they become golden.
(They may not all brown at the
same pace.) Do not let them get
too dark in colour; it is OK if they
have a few lighter patches.
In a bowl whisk together the vin-
egar, lemon juice, Worcestershire
sauce and garlic. Add the oil slowly
in a stream, whisking, until all of it
is added. Whisk in the sour cream
and gently stir in the blue cheese.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a large skillet heat the oil over
high heat. Add the steak, seasoned
on both sides with salt and pep-
per; cook it for 5 minutes a side for
medium-rare. Transfer the steak to
a plate and let it rest for 8 minutes
before slicing it.
To serve: Add any juices from the
steak plate to the blue cheese
dressing. Slice the steak very thin at
an angle across the grain. In a large
salad bowl combine the spinach
with the tomatoes and cucumber
slices, add some of the dressing,
reserving a little to drizzle on top
and toss the salad well. Mound
the salad on each of six plates, top
with the steak slices and the potato
chips, broken into large pieces and
drizzle each portion with a little
more dressing.

The Culinary Institute of
America’s recipe for Mexican-
style Corn Salad is a play on
elote, a popular Mexican street
food. Elote is grilled corn smoth-
ered in Mexican crema, cotija
cheese, chili powder, and a
squeeze of lime. You can find
this treat all over Mexico and
in much of the southwestern
United States, both on the cob
or served in a cup.
This version is less rich than
the dish that inspires it, subbing
crema for a tangy mix of olive
oil and fresh lime juice. With
the addition of crisp vegetables,
this cold salad is the perfect ac-
companiment to grilled ribeye
or tender pulled pork.

Q SEAFOOD

Is it soup or chowder?
Over a bowl of chowder last
week we had a conversation
about what constitutes chow-
der.
Is it a soup made with sea-
food? Can a soup without sea-
food be chowder? Is a cream or
milk base essential?
The word chowder is de-
rived from the French chau-
dière, meaning pot or cauldron.
Jacques L. Rolland’s “The Cook’s
Essential Kitchen Diction-
ary” (Robert Rose Inc., 2014)
includes two possible stories
about the history and origins of
chowder.
One is that French sailors,
marooned on the coast of
Maine, made a stew from clams
that they dug, combined with
pork, onions, potatoes and
ship’s crackers salvaged from
their stranded vessel. Except
for the lack of milk or cream,
this ingredient list reflects what
I’ve found in traditional chow-
der recipes.
The second story, which Rol-
land finds more plausible, is
that as the Acadians fled to
Florida after the expulsion, they
taught people along the way to
Margaret
Prouse
From My
Kitchen
make seafood stew in a chau-
dière.
Barron’s “The New Food
Lover’s Companion“ (2007, Bar-
ron’s Educational Series, Inc.)
also says the name comes from
the word chaudière, described
as a cauldron in which fisher-
men made stews fresh from
the sea. The authors go on to
say that the word chowder can
describe any thick, rich soup
containing chunks of food, not-
ing that it can contain any of
several varieties of seafood and
vegetables.
There is some debate about
whether seafood soups made
with anything other than a
dairy base can be called chow-
ders. The best-known example
of these non-dairy alternatives
is the tomato-based Manhattan
clam chowder.
These discussions interest
word nerds and people looking
for historical accuracy, but they
don’t reflect what people enjoy
cooking and eating.
I’ve found common elements
in recipes for traditional East
Coast chowders: chopped onion
cooked in salt pork; cubed po-
tatoes; milk or cream; either
clams or cubed cod fillets. If
these chowders are thickened
at all, it is with crushed saltines.
Here is one version, as found
in a reprint of a Women’s In-
stitute cookbook published
around 1960.
Clam Chowder
Adapted from “Prince Edward Is-
land Women’s Institute Cook Book
of Home Recipes”, C1960.
1 qt clams, canned or fresh
¼ lb salt pork
1 qt diced potatoes
1 onion, diced or chopped
1 qt rich milk, scalded
salt and pepper to taste
butter, if desired
Remove black parts from clams,
saving the liquid. Cut pork in
small pieces and fry until crisp and
golden brown, then remove small
pieces of pork from the fat. Add po-
tatoes and onion, with just enough
hot water to be seen through the
potatoes. Cook over low heat – just
simmering – until done. (If cooked
over high heat, the chowder is apt
to stick and burn).
Finally, add clams and cook 2 min-
utes after coming to a boil; longer
cooking will toughen the clams.
Remove chowder from heat and let
stand a few minutes, then add hot
milk, the clam liquid and seasoning
to taste. By adding these last there
is less chance of chowder curdling,
which often happens if seasonings
are added before the hot milk.
Add 1 tbsp of butter just before
serving or place a bit in each soup
bowl.
This quantity yields 6 large servings
or 8 small.
Note: Like lobster stew or chowder,
clam chowder should set awhile
– or “age” a few hours, to be at its
best. The flavour is always finer the
second day.
Purists would probably view
the seafood chowder I make as
a travesty, but we like it any-
way. I sauté chopped onion and
sometimes chopped celery in
butter, while simmering peeled
potatoes, cut in about 1 cm (½
inch) dice, along with chunks
of haddock, cod or hake, a little
piece of salmon and sometimes
mussels or halved scallops, in
reduced-salt chicken broth.
When the potatoes and seafood
are cooked, I drain and reserve
the liquid. If using mussels, I
discard the shells.
After the onion is cooked,
I stir in flour to make a roux
with the butter, and then make
a thin sauce from a mixture of
the reserved chicken broth and
evaporated milk, usually 2%.
Into that goes the potato/
seafood mixture, some black
pepper and sometimes a table-
spoon or so of chopped fresh
tarragon leaves.
It’s good to serve immedi-
ately, but as the WI says, the
flavour is finer the second day.

Abigail
Van Buren
Dear
Abby
DEAR ABBY: I’m in a second
marriage, which was only for
the benefit of insurance so my
husband could get insurance
through my employer’s plan.
We were together for many
years before getting married.
He received the health care
he needed, and I’m ready to
move forward with my life as a
single person.
However, he now says he’s
happy being married. That was
not our agreement. I am not in-
terested in spending any more
time being dissatisfied with this
relationship.
What he brought to it was not
all that I wanted, and he knew
this.
I’m ready to move forward,
but don’t want to lose his friend-
ship. What’s the best way to ap-
proach this? I have spoken to
him about another procedure
he needs, but he is stalling. —
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE
DEAR M.O.C.: You have de-
voted enough to this man’s wel-
fare. In a marriage, both parties
are supposed to be happy, and
he already knows you’re not. It
may not be possible to move
forward and keep his friend-
ship. If he needs another pro-
cedure, give him a deadline to
have it done. If he hasn’t had it
by then, feel free to file.
DEAR ABBY: My grown son
has broken up with his girl-
friend. They were together for
five months. He feels his life is
over. His dad and I have been
helping him get over it.
He has a seven-year-old son
who lives with him and we
want him to be strong. He calls
us every day and he’s beginning
to sound like a broken record,
repeating the same story again
and again.
I know time will make it eas-
ier, but in the short term, how
do we help him tap into his
mucus that leads to a blockage
of pancreatic ducts, intestines
and lungs. There is no cure.

izer of the annual cystic fibro-

inner strength and be an adult
about this? He goes to work, so
that’s a blessing. How do people
make it through breakups and
cope with the grief? — SAD FOR
HIM
DEAR SAD: They depend
upon their friends and family to
listen to them while they vent.
And if that doesn’t work, they
do it in the office of a licensed
therapist. Because what you’re
telling your son hasn’t helped,
please suggest it.
DEAR ABBY: When I was
seven, my mother hosted a
birthday party for me. When we
made out the guest list, there
was a girl who wasn’t popu-
lar who I didn’t want to invite.
Mom told me to invite her or I
wouldn’t have a party. I invited
her, but she didn’t come.
That lesson of inclusiveness
made a big impression on me.
Later, in school, I became an
unpopular girl. I missed many
of my classmates’ parties be-
cause of it, but the lesson stayed
with me.
In high school and beyond
I have befriended people who
were unpopular or who are seen
as misfits. And you know what?
My life has been richer from
these experiences. So I would
like to offer a belated thank-you
to my mother for making me
invite that little girl years ago
because it shaped my life. —
KATHY IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR KATHY: Your mother
is a wise and compassionate
woman. The lesson here is,
popularity can be fleeting. But
having compassion for people
who need it is forever.

Gallagher is donating
song royalties
to Manchester fund
LOS ANGELES — Noel Gal-
lagher is donating royalties
from Oasis’ song “Don’t Look
Back In Anger’’ to the One
Love Manchester fund.
A spokesperson for the pro-
duction companies behind
Sunday’s benefit concert said
Wednesday that neither Gal-
lagher nor Oasis was set to
perform.
The statement says Gallagher
told organizers he would
donate the royalties and ap-
proved using Oasis’ music at
the concert.
His brother Liam Gallagher
performed at the benefit
concert, fuelling speculation
the brothers would reunite.
Oasis disbanded in 2009.
Liam Gallagher criticized his
brother’s absence, saying he
had shown his “true colours.’’
Coldplay’s Chris Martin later
defended Noel, saying ev-
eryone knew in advance he
could not make it.
Noel Gallagher’s spokesman
previously said the singer
could not attend because of
a long-standing family trip.

CHICAGO — Goodman The-

Goodman officials say the
76-year-old Keach is to be
released from a Chicago-area
hospital on Wednesday.
The May 30 performance
of “Pamplona,’’ with Keach
starring as Ernest Heming-
way, was cancelled halfway
through when the actor
appeared unwell. The entire
run of the one-man play has
since been cancelled.
Falls, who directed “Pam-
plona,’’ says he visited Keach
on Tuesday and found him in
good spirits. He says Keach
was sitting up and studying
the script and asked ‘when
are we rescheduling?’’’
Falls says the Goodman
could re-stage “Pamplona’’
next year.
Keach is best known for play-
ing the private eye “Mike

Stursberg was voted in as the

Earth, Wind & Fire hit the road
A look backward to the heyday of disco Studio 54
BY MARK KENNEDY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK
Earth, Wind & Fire goes on
the road this summer with
some classic hits, a new tour-
ing partner and lingering heart-
ache.
The hits include “Septem-
ber,’’ ‘’Shining Star” and ‘’Boogie
Wonderland,” while they’ll
share the stage with the band
Chic, featuring Nile Rodgers.
The sadness comes from the
loss last year of their founder
Maurice White.
“We’re still healing,’’ said
drummer Ralph Johnson, one
of three original members still
playing the band’s infectious
hooks. “I think the way we’ve
dealt with it has been to do the
music.’’
Concertgoers can expect a
teary memorial to White amid
the disco grooves and horn-
driven funk. The band has al-
ways honoured its missing
member — White stopped tour-
ing in 1995 — but this time the
section has a final kiss to it.
Q MOVIE
Israel is in love with
its ‘Wonder Woman’
Homegrown hero Gal Gadot embraced as national treasure
BY ARON HELLER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM
For a country that takes pride
in even the smallest successes
of its international celebrities,
the debut of Wonder Woman
has sparked an Israeli lovefest
for homegrown hero Gal Gadot.
A huge billboard overlooking
Tel Aviv’s main highway is
tagged with a provincial “we
love you’’ greeting, her Heb-
rew-accented appearances in
the international media are re-
ported upon daily and throngs
of fans cheer wildly upon see-
ing her on the big screen. Even
Lebanon’s ban of the film hasn’t
dampened the mood in Israel,
where Gadot’s superhero status
has been embraced as a na-
tional treasure.
“It’s so cool that someone
from here is succeeding and is
famous overseas. Everyone in
the theatre was so excited,’’ said
20-year-old Ela Hofshi of Jeru-
salem, who watched the movie
on opening night. “I think all
the enthusiasm here is very sup-
portive and encourages her to
keep growing in the world and
representing us.’’
Eager for diversions from pol-
itics and conflict with the Pal-
estinians, Israelis often rejoice
when one of their own breaks
through on the international
stage, whether it’s Omri Cas-
spi in the NBA, medal-winning
Olympic athletes or big-name
model Bar Refaeli. But Gadot’s
ascendance to stardom has en-
tered a whole new stratosphere
as she has assumed the identity
of Wonder Woman in a box-
office smash that raked in more
than $100 million in its first
“It’s not something you get
over. Maurice will always be
part of us. We cut our teeth on
Earth, Wind and Fire. He was
our mentor, our leader, our
Elvis, our John Lennon, all in
one guy,’’ said White’s brother,
Verdine.
Earth, Wind & Fire and Chic
embark on their Live Nation
tour July 12 in Oakland, Cali-
fornia, and then hits New York
City, Chicago, Philadelphia, At-
lanta, Boston and Washington,
D.C., before concluding Aug. 22
in Detroit.
It’s called 2054 The Tour and
it looks backward to the heyday
of the infamous disco Studio 54
and to a shiny, electronic future.
Each venue will be reconfigured
to make it easier for the bands
to interact with dancing fans.
Each night, after unleash-
ing a top-heavy string of hits,
Earth, Wind & Fire get serious
during the White tribute. It
comes during the song “That’s
the Way of the World,’’ when
a video memorial of Maurice
White plays. He died at 74 last

dodging scandal have alienated
many Israelis, Gadot has been
widely embraced. In interviews,
she often speaks in accented
English of her military service,
a rite of passage for most Israeli
Jews, which has made her even
more beloved at home.
“She bears the burden of
being Israeli with grace and
you can see that fame hasn’t
changed her,’’ said Ariel Oseran,
27. “She represents the ‘good Is-
raeli’ and does us a great service.
When she talks about the army,
it shows that serving in the
military is not a bad thing. It’s
son’s disease. Johnson and Ver-
dine White — joined by fellow
original member, singer Philip
Bailey — said they try to avoid
looking at each other during the
show’s memorial part for fear
that tears will fall. Many fans
stop to pull out cellphones and
capture the moment.
“Everything is fun, fun, fun,
fun. Then we get to that section
and that’s when the show gets
heart. All we see is just phones,’’
said White. “It’s heavy. It’s deep.
It’s beautiful, though.’’
Earth, Wind & Fire was in-
ducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 2000, played
the 2005 Super Bowl halftime
show and has six Grammys. The
band’s “Got to Get You Into My
Life’’ was on President Barack
Obama’s first Spotify playlist.
Each generation seems to
rediscover the band, in part be-
cause popular culture can’t get
enough of its bouncy vibe. Last
year, in one November week-
end, the band had three songs
in the world’s top two movies —
“Trolls’’ and “Doctor Strange.’’
“We’re part of peoples’ lives.

something inspiring. It makes
every one of our female soldiers
seem like Wonder Woman.’’
Gadot grew up in the Tel
Aviv suburb of Rosh Haayin
and somehow stumbled into
stardom. She was chosen Miss
Israel in 2004 at the age of 18
and represented the country
in the Miss Universe pageant
that year. She then put off her
modelling career to enlist in
the military, where she served
two years as a combat fitness
instructor. In 2007, she took a
part in the Maxim photo shoot
“Women of the Israeli Army.’’
After a year of law school,
a casting director invited her
to audition for a James Bond
movie. She didn’t get the part,
but it led to her big Hollywood
break in 2008 when she was cast
in the “Fast & Furious’’ movie
franchise as Gisele Yashar, an
ex-Mossad agent.

As they say, ‘the soundtrack
of their lives’ — literally,’’ said
White. “They always want pic-
tures: ‘Can I take this for my dad
or my mom?’ ‘Will you sign this
for my dad?’ We get that all the
time.’’
Satellite and classic rock
radio keep the band’s hits alive
and online services like iTunes,
SoundCloud and Shazam have
made their work accessible. A
band that started on vinyl turns
out to be thriving in the digital
age.
“They can get to us. They can
discover us. And rediscover us
and rediscover us and turn a
friend on to us,’’ said White. “So
when we’re doing the concert,
they’re Googling and they’re
buying songs they didn’t even
know that existed. So actually I
think it’s been a big help.’’
Earth, Wind & Fire and Chic
hit the road proving that nos-
talgia acts are still reliable tour
sellers. Other bands from the
1970s like Queen, Foreigner,
Boston, Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice
Cooper, Billy Joel and Rod Stew-
art are also touring this year.
Q ON SCREEN
Classic
monsters
revived
BY LINDSEY BAHR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES
Is The Invisible Man any
match for Iron Man at the box
office?
That’s the question Univer-
sal Pictures will be testing with
their Dark Universe — a con-
nected, multi-film revival of the
studios’ classic monster proper-
ties from the 1920s through 50s,
including The Invisible Man,
Dracula, Frankenstein and
the Phantom of the Opera. It
launches this Friday with “The
Mummy,’’ starring Tom Cruise.
The studio already has flashy
talent lined up in front of and
behind the camera for this
expanded universe, includ-
ing Johnny Depp as The Invis-
ible Man, Russell Crowe as Dr.
Henry Jekyll and Javier Bardem
as Frankenstein’s Monster. The
Dark Universe has a Danny
Elfman-composed theme and
a nostalgic trailer looking back
at the days of Boris Karloff, Lon
Chaney and Bela Lugosi. Cre-
atives Alex Kurtzman and Chris
Morgan are stewarding the en-
deavour.
It’s no wonder why Univer-
sal is trying it out. In the hier-
archy of Hollywood franchises,
it’s hard to beat the idea of the
shared universe, which super-
heroes dominate.
“Universal desperately wants
a universe to call their own,
especially since they are one
of the only studios that hasn’t
been able to capitalize on the
comic book craze,’’ said Jeff
Bock, a senior box office analyst
for Exhibitor Relations.

Q ADVICE

‘Changed’ spouse must prove he can be trusted

Q - After 17 years of marriage,
for eight months our relation-
ship’s been very inconsistent!
My wife said she’s lost feel-
ing for me because when our
kids were young and we’d visit
friends’ houses, she’d end up
going home by herself in snowy
and bad weather.
Also, I exploded at her when I
got drunk, was rude, and said I
wanted to break up.
But now I’ve changed a lot
to be a better person, husband,
and father.
I admitted my wrongdoings
and am doing everything I can
to keep our marriage going.
But she’s hot and cold to me,
and my daughter noticed that
my wife’s bi-polar.
I’m a passionate person and
love her and the family very
much!
But I can’t stand her not ap-
preciating what I did for her
and everything else to keep our
family together!
I told her if she can’t let the
past go, then we can’t be happy
together and should separate.
She said she loves me. It’s just
that the memory of the bad side
of me affects her mood.
What can I do to avoid being
depressed and wanting to sep-
arate?
Desperate Husband
A – It’s what you can now do
for her, that matters.
Your history as a couple
wasn’t easy — you drunk, her
trudging home alone in the
cold; you “exploding,” her hurt
Ellie
Tesher
Advice
and angry.
It created years of resent-
ment. Now, you believe you’ve
changed enough that she has
to forget the past, and show the
love.
Not so. It’s YOU who has to
help her believe that she can
trust you to not treat her badly
again.
Invite her to go to counsel-
ling together and both openly
discuss the past. Learn ways to
make a fresh start as a loving
couple.
(I’m dismissing the “bi-polar”
comment since there’s no men-
tion of a professional diagnosis.
But if it were new information,
a loving husband would see a
doctor with her).
Q - My live-in boyfriend of
three years has a daughter,
eight, who’s here 30% of the
time. (My kids are in their 20s).
My boyfriend does almost
everything for her, including
showering her and wiping her
bottom after she goes “number
two.”
She calls him into the bath-
room. Early on, she asked me as
well. I was shocked, but gave her
a lesson.
I thought by now she’d be
doing this by herself and they’d
realize this isn’t acceptable be-
haviour. It actually turns my
stomach.
She can do it but she wants
things done for her. Her father
got defensive and wouldn’t dis-
cuss it.
Also, when I’m away he lets
her sleep in my bed.
Frustrated, Alienated, and
Turned Off
A – She’s eight-years-old.
Don’t give up on her. She’s still
adjusting to you and the living-
together situation.
Whatever “lesson” you gave
her wasn’t enough to help her
understand that a bowel move- DAILY CRYPTOQUOTE
ment is a natural body function
and everyone learns to look
after themselves.
Somehow, she must manage
wiping herself at school, and
yes, she likes having things done
for her.
Her father’s doing her no fa-
vour by keeping this up, but
your overreaction of a turned
stomach isn’t helping any of
you.
Try another approach
with kindness. Reward some
progress, even if it’s with a treat.
Don’t argue with your part-
ner about it, just tell him that
it’s important to help her learn
to be a “big girl” about this body
function.
Join him in other ways to be
helpful and encouraging to her.
To stay together, you need to
be part of raising his child.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June
8, 2017:
This year you are able to achieve certain
long-term goals and desires. You’ll need
to focus on your objectives. You also will
be unusually fortunate. If you are single,
be aware of the many potential suitors
you have. Know what you want, and
make your choice accordingly. If you are
attached, you often are at odds with your
significant other, yet the attraction
between you remains high. The two of
you tend to come from very different
perspectives. SAGITTARIUS can be
provocative, but he or she is a lot of fun.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll
Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★★ Stay on top of a personal matter
by keeping the connection between you
and a loved one alive. It is always impor-
tant to understand what is driving you.
Try to figure out this person’s motives as
well. Through empathy, you can
strengthen your bond. Tonight: Be spon-
taneous.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Throw yourself completely into a

★★★★★ Your energy is high today. A
partner could be somewhat sassy and
willful. Your creativity and caring atti-
tude will shine through in the moment.
Someone who tends to be vague might
cause more than his or her share of con-
fusion. Tonight: Go along with a new
idea.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ You have a lot to get done, and, as
a result, you might feel pressured. Others
could be reactive, especially if you
change your plans with them. Decide that
you want to get everything done, and you
will succeed in doing so. Tonight: Make
special plans for the weekend.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★★ Your playfulness allows
greater flexibility. Listen to a friend who
has great ideas. You might find this per-
son to be a little too impractical, yet a
conversation with him or her adds ingen-
ious solutions to difficult situations.
Tonight: Visit with a loved one over din-
ner.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ The basics count when dealing
with a roommate or family member. This
person appreciates simplicity. If you can
relate on a one-on-one level, you will
feel so much better. Focus on a financial
matter that is likely to have some impli-
cations. Tonight: Happily head home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ You might be willing to jump
through some hoops today. You also
seem to be able to successfully navigate
risks. Don’t hesitate to go for what you
want. Confusion could undermine your
routine, but don’t worry: You can handle
this. Tonight: Return calls before making
plans.

Good news
for moms
‘Having a family
is one of the most
important
achievements’
ASSOCIATED PRESS
$)*$"(0
A study gives reassuring news
for breast cancer survivors who
want to have children. Those
who later became pregnant
were no more likely to have
their cancer come back than
those who did not have a baby.
It’s a big issue - the average
age of moms has been rising
in the United States, and more
women are being diagnosed
with breast cancer in their
childbearing years. About 11
per cent of new breast cancer
cases in the U.S. are in women
under 45.
The study, done in Europe,
is the largest so far on women
whose cancers were fueled by
hormones, which rise in preg-
nancy and theoretically, might
spur a recurrence.

most important achievements
in a person’s life,” said study
