VANCOUVER@METRONEWS.CA

Vancouver plans to preserve the messages of hope and civic spirit scrawled on plywood panels covering up damaged windows at the Bay following Wednesday’s Stanley Cup riot. Coun. Heather Deal said the Bay has been working closely with the city to save them. The city still has no detailed plans, she added, but is welcoming input from the public on where they would like to see the panels. “It is so important that this becomes part of the public record of how the city has managed this last very difficult week,” Deal said. “It’s part of the celebration of who we really are, and is part of making sure the world knows that we’re not defined by the negative things that happened on Wednesday.” The city’s cultural staff and engineers, Vancouver Museum, and the Bay are working together and looking at where they could publicly display the boards. But Deal said the panels will certainly be kept in the Vancouver Archives in the long term. More than 1,000 people have

outside the art gallery because it’s a good place for people to always come see things, and it is art in a sense.” Vancouverite Aaron Lau said the boards need to stay in the downtown core, where they can be put up as a monument because the pan-

Thank you. Notes

Vancouver police have received more than one million photos and more than 1,000 hours of video following Wednesday’s riot, CBC News reports. So far, only a handful of people have been charged. And it’s unknown how many people could eventually end up in court.

METRO

Two pot bears destroyed Conservation officers have had to kill two of nearly 30 black bears that had been trained to wander the grounds of a B.C. marijuana grow-op. Boundary Conservation Insp. Aaron Canuel said the two bears were destroyed because they repeatedly approached backyard decks in Christina Lake, about 500 kilometres east of Vancouver. The bears had been trained to eat dog food and were found as RCMP investigated the suspected marijuana grow-op in the Boundary region last year. Allen Piche pleaded guilty in March to feeding dangerous wildlife, an offence under the Wildlife Act. He and several others still face charges related to the grow-op. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Public anger rages on Public out to shame people identified in riot photos Youth’s family forced from home because of hostile backlash MATT KIELTYKA

@METRONEWS.CA

The public will not ease up as the shaming of Vancouver rioters continues to pick up steam. Yesterday, media discovered that the family of 17year-old Maple Ridge resident Nathan Kotylak had to leave their home because of the intense backlash that followed the youth’s apology for allegedly taking part in the riot. Kotylak, photographed

trying to light a shirt on fire near a police cruiser’s gas tank, turned himself in to police Friday and went public Saturday with an emotional apology. Despite his remorse, his family left home this weekend, fearing retribution. “There have been threats made online and people posted their address,” said Kotylak’s lawyer, Bart Findlay. “They feared for their safety so are no longer at the home.” Findlay said Kotylak’s apology was “heartfelt” and that the youth has

missed his high school convocation and been suspended from the Canadian junior national water polo league, on top of whatever criminal charges await. “What he did was utterly wrong. He was remorseful from the very start,” said the lawyer. “It’s a difficult time for him.” Findlay said it’s ironic to see the mob mentality that spurred the riots on Wednesday now take root online as perpetrators are identified and targeted by the public. The head of Simon Fras-

er University’s criminology department doesn’t expect the crusade to end soon. “The outrage is so strong that people don’t really care too much about (hurting people’s livelihoods),” said Robert Gordon. “It’s a question of just deserts. It’s not over — the shaming process can be more effective than the criminal system for some people.” Gordon said the criminal system will still have a strong role to play when it comes to punishing rioters.

Stores, restaurants, artisans and performers took part in neighbourhood celebrations on Commercial Drive, the West End, Main Street and in Kitsilano, each community with its own distinctive flavour. “Even on a day like today, when the weather’s not that great, lots of people still come out to have a good time on the

streets,” said Gary Schilling, co-ordinator of the festival in the West End. This year’s theme is Driven by People Power. “Car-Free Day is a grassroots movement that really engages people in their communities,” said Karen Reed, volunteer co-ordinator of the Commercial Drive festival. No kidding: More than

Like mother, like son Betty Fox gave us Terry, and an extraordinary legacy of her own MATT KIELTYKA/METRO FILE

Betty Fox, the mother of one of Canada’s most beloved heroes, who nurtured Terry Fox’s legacy into one of international action and inspiration in the fight against cancer, has died. Fox had been seriously ill and living in a hospice. For more than three decades, Betty Fox kept her son’s memory alive by organizing runs and raising funds. Terry Fox, who lost part of his leg to cancer in 1977, set out to raise funds for research by running across Canada in his 1980 Marathon of Hope. Initially, Betty said she was opposed to the plan, and she and Terry quarrelled. “It was a stupid thing to want to do,” she recalled in 2005. “Really stupid.” However, the two reconciled and, on April 12, 1980, Terry began his marathon. He was forced to end it 143

Betty Fox

days later, when his cancer returned. He died on June 28, 1981, at 22. The Fox family, including Betty, carried on with his goal to raise funds for research. On Sept. 13, 1981, about 300,000 Canadians took part in the first Terry Fox Run. It raised $3.5 million. In 1988, Betty and her other son, Darrell, set up the Terry Fox Foundation. It has raised more than $550 million for cancer research in 28 countries through annual Terry Fox Runs. THE CANADIAN PRESS

@METRONEWS.CA

Reaching Africa’s highest peak is difficult enough. Doing so without use of your own legs is a challenge few would attempt. But 26-year-old Calgary soldier Mark Fuchko is used to taking adversity head on. “He’s pretty determined, slightly stubborn,” chuckled his father, Jack Fuchko.

Mark Fuchko with his father, Jack, in 2008. Mark was severely injured in an explosion earlier that year. He walks with prosthetic legs.

“He’s climbed lots of mountains. This is just another one.” Jack’s comments refer to years of difficult rehabilitation Mark has endured after suffering critical injuries on duty in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province. He lost both legs in March 2008 but began walking again before the year was out. Fuchko’s focus now is on aiding others in similar situations. He and other participants on the Kilimanjaro

Climb hope to raise $575,000 to purchase a computerized navigation system for the Orthopedic Surgery Centre at Edmonton’s Royal Alexandra Hospital. The group plans to set off Aug. 8 and climb six hours a day to the summit Mount Kilimanjaro five days later. “It’s going to be a challenge for sure,” Fuchko said. “I think I have got the tools and the support network to succeed.”

ed by major players such as Shaw Communications Inc. and BCE, which own most of the country’s television broadcasting assets. In recent years, much of Canada’s private broadcasting sector has been swallowed up by a handful of big companies. Shaw, for example, has bought 11 local Global TV stations across Canada and a group of specialty stations such as HGTV and Showcase. After approving the Shaw sale last fall, the CRTC said it was worried that consolidation could produce anti-competitive behaviour and announced it would hold the hearings. THE CANADIAN PRESS

By now, you’ve probably overdosed on pundit prescriptions for relief from the riot. And is there anyone among us who has not yet posted his or hers heartfelt comments out loud, online, on plywood, on Post-its, on police cars? If democracy is all about freedom of expression, then our democracy is safe, as all 2.5 million residents of Greater Vancouver, it seems, have freely expressed

themselves. So what can I possibly add? Well, how about this: It will never be the same. We just got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. We had it all: The world’s most livable city. Lululemon Land. But then, from within our midst, rose a kind of preening terrorist who did his best to spoil it “So what can I for everyone else in order to wallow in his badass rep possibly add? 15 minutes of social-meWell, how about for dia-inspired notoriety.

I say “his” because I didn’t see any women just got kicked kicking in store windows out of the or standing on top of burnGarden of Eden.” ing cars braying with intoxicated, testosterone-fuelled bravado. Although I did see quite a few laughing and taking smartphone photos of their heroes as they acted out their barbarian fantasies with no concern for the consequences or the damage done. I’ve heard them called many things: But know them for what they are — terrorists. They pose triumphantly amidst the destruction, and it’s only because of luck and the much-maligned Vancouver police that there wasn’t more of it. These people are just as rootless, pointless and lost as the dangerous fools who answer the call to jihad and other notions of mass destruction. It doesn’t matter that they were born and fostered in paradise. They can find the flimsy excuses to stoke their anger and justify their crimes anywhere, regardless of the banquet of opportunities laid on their table. I’ll leave the psychology to others. I need a little time to accept that they lifted the lid on the Apocalypse and gave us here in Vancouver a little peek. So that’s what it looks like. It’s now impossible to deny that it can happen here, too, where, even if it looks pretty, the layer of civilization is just about an inch deep. Nowhere is safe. Just ask the people in Bosnia. So I don’t have any quick prescriptions. Take these words and you’ll feel better in the morning? No, you won’t and you know it — it will never be the same. Every time you walk by the Bay or any of those other shiny symbols of peace and prosperity, how will you be able to think about them as anything other than targets? What else can I say? How about this: It was nice while it lasted?

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth mentioning DUBAI, United Arab Emirates.

A Saudi woman defiantly drove through the nation’s capital while others brazenly cruised by police patrols in the first forays of a campaign that hopes to ignite a road rebellion against the male-only driving rules in the ultraconservative kingdom. It was a rare grassroots challenge to the Westernbacked Saudi monarchy as it tries to ride out the Arab world’s wave of change, and a lesson in how the uprisings are taking root in different ways. In this case, the driver’s seat was turned into a powerful platform for women’s rights Friday in a country where women have almost no political voice. “We’ve seen that change is possible,” said Maha al-Qahtani. She said she drove for 45 minutes around the capital, Riyadh, with her husband in the passenger seat. “This is Saudi women saying, ‘This is our time to make a change.’” About 40 women took part in Friday’s show of defiance. No arrests or violence were reported, though al-Qahtani was later ticketed for driving without a licence.

Freeloaders not allowed in space The billionaire businessman behind Virgin Galactic says William Shatner, and other celebrities, shouldn’t expect any free rides into space. The space tourism enterprise is already taking reservations for flights, which could begin next year. But it’s become clear that the actor who played Captain James T. Kirk, perhaps the world’s most famous fictional spaceman, is not among the

440 people from 40 countries planning to go up. “William Shatner has said that he’s scared to go into space and it’s quite ironic really when you think of his career,” company founder Sir Richard Branson told The Canadian Press. “And, like most celebrities, he would like a freebie.” The cost of a seat is $200,000 US. The 80-year-old actor recently admitted he did not want to boldly go anywhere beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Branson suggested the Star Trek actor is in the minority. “Most people are unlike William Shatner. I would say nine out of 10 people — if they could afford it — would love to go into space.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers often polls its members about what they’ve seen or done lately. Here’s what they said.

You studied children during the ﬁrst two years after the divorce. Why is that period so crucial?

I studied that period mainly due to data availability — information was available only up to spring of fifth grade, although now, information up to eighth grade is available, which enables me to extend my analyses. But one of the main controversies around divorce is whether children of divorce catch up with children from intact families some time after divorce. That’s why it was very important to examine development of children of divorce after divorce occurs. What surprised you the most?

That I failed to find negative impacts of divorce in the pre-divorce stage. People tend to think that couples go through intense marital conflict before they decide to divorce — otherwise why choose to divorce? And it’s widely accepted that children under parents’ marital discord experience devel-

I found that children of divorce lagged behind children from intact families in the growth of interpersonal social skills in the during-divorce stage. Why, I can only speculate. One possibility is that children of divorce go through

emotional problems, which is consistent with my finding that children of divorce experienced problems in internalizing their problem behaviours. Another reason may be related to stigma attached to parental divorce, so that children of divorce would not want others to know their own situations, which may lead to less frequent interactions with others. It should also be added that these behaviours were reported by teachers. Do you have any good news

children?

I found that development of children of divorce did not worsen in the post-divorce stage even though they did not catch up with children from intact families. In other words, children of divorce developed as similarly as children from intact families in the post-divorce stage.

This is really a hard question to answer from my study. One very important finding in my study is that children from intact families suffer more compared to children of divorce if the former children were in families plagued by marital conflicts. In this case, we can predict positive effects of divorce for those children. But remember, I just examined children two years after divorce. I cannot at all predict how children of divorce develop until they become adults.

Divorce is so common these days. Do you think, eventually, anti-social behaviour and low math scores will be the norm for most kids? In other words, will we have to redeﬁne what we expect from

Stanley Ann Dunham met Barack Obama Sr. in a Russian-language class in Hawaii. They married a year later, in 1961, but divorced in 1964, after he moved on to Harvard. They had one son: Barack Jr. He did drugs in high school but otherwise turned out all right.

Her divorced parents, Dina and Michael Lohan, appear in the media frequently to discuss their fractured family, blaming their daughter’s struggles on their breakup. The in-andout-of-rehab actress is currently under house arrest after a shoplifting conviction.

The 22-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, who divorced in 2000, became a successful television and film actress (The House Bunny and 90210). She is also notable for surviving her new stepfather: Ashton Kutcher.

After his parents split in 1992, the Olympian lived with his mom and remains close. “The person I love the most is sitting in the front row — my mom — for everything she’s done,” he said at the Beijing Olympics. Meanwhile, he and he dad don’t talk much.

Carbon data

GREEN@METRONEWS.CA

Carbon offsets — money paid by eco-conscious companies for carbon emissions they have not been able to reduce — are now being used to save lives in the developing world. Offsetters, a Vancouverbased provider of carbonmanagement solutions, has become the first Canadian company involved in offering a high-quality cookstove program in Africa. “The big appeal of these projects is that the carbon benefits are very clear,” says James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters. “The side benefits of doing this are, in some ways, even more important.” The new stoves are

ect leads not only to reductions, but also very significant improvements in health and well-being.” This is green policy at its best. A world-wide effort to reduce CO2 emissions in the air — through the purchase of carbon offsets — leads directly to safer, longer lives in Africa.

“For these kinds of projects, companies that are reducing their emissions within their operations put a price on carbon,” explains Tansey. “They’re paying maybe $20 a ton for the carbon emissions they can’t reduce. That money is then pooled, and used to subsidize the cost of the cookstoves.” Offsets come in two kinds: a voluntary market, and one demanded by ecofriendly legislation. “The global market is around $113-million in voluntary transactions. The regulated market, which is also something we work in — particularly in Europe — is hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions.” For more information, visit offsetters.ca.

GREENING UP YOUR OFFICE My office has made efforts to go green, like cutting back on air travel and recycling paper, but what about the small stuff? I’d like to know, are office supplies, like highlighters, recyclable or refillable? Julie of Montreal

QUEEN OF GREEN LINDSAY COULTER GREEN@METRONEWS.CA

Highlighters might seem like small beans but it’s estimated that office

supplies account for 10 per cent of all landfill waste. Although many businesses are now sourcing paper with recycled content, those pens, highlighters, staplers and ink cartridges still add up. But there’s good news. Refillable highlighter brands are on the market, much like ink cartridges for photocopiers and print-

ers. Ask for them at your local office supply store or check on-line. Another simple way to reduce waste is to avoid over-purchasing. You should also select sustainably produced supplies. David Suzuki Foundation

Major domination by McIlroy NICK WASS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Irishman erases Masters collapse, wins U.S. Open in record fashion Every time Rory McIlroy lined up a shot yesterday, there was some sort of record on the line, some kind of history to be made. That was this year’s U.S. Open version of suspense. There was never any doubt that the kid from Northern Ireland was going to win it. In complete control of his emotions and his game, McIlroy never slipped. He won his first major championship by shooting a 2-under 69 at Congressional and closed his four-day onslaught at 16-under 268, eight shots ahead of Jason Day and four shots better than the U.S. Open scoring record formerly held by four players, including two named Woods and Nicklaus. After the final tap-in, Gerry McIlroy met his son as he walked off the green. “Happy Father’s Day,” the new champion said. Happy Father’s Day, indeed. All week, McIlroy’s performance was compared to Tiger Woods’ 15-shot blowout at Pebble Beach in 2000. “I was trying to go out there today and emulate him in some way,” McIlroy said. “I played great for four days and I couldn’t be happier.” The win comes two months after a collapse so thorough, some wondered if McIlroy could recover. He took a four-shot lead into the final day of the Masters, but after hitting his 10th

tee shot near a cabin on the grounds of Augusta National, he melted down, shot 80 and finished 15th. His shot on the 10th hole yesterday wasn’t comparable. On the 214-yard par-3, a downhill shot over water, McIlroy knocked the ball above the hole, then watched as it stopped for a split second and started spinning backward before stopping an inch or two from the hole. He tapped in for a birdie that got him to 17-under par at a tournament that had never seen a score lower than 12 under before Friday. “That was the point in the round that I really felt it was mine to lose,” McIlroy said. McIlroy now owns the scoring records for 36, 54 and 72 holes at the toughest test in golf and he became only the third player to break 70 in all four rounds of the U.S. Open.

Still, the 25year-old Spaniard is looking more and more like someone who will be able to challenge, if not surpass, whatever Federer’s final tally is. As long as a couple of other guys don’t get in the way, that is. For years, Federer and Nadal were the men to beat at major tournaments. These days, they’re joined at what is a competitive and compelling top of the game by a pair of 24-yearolds, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. That Big Four filled out the semifinals at the French Open two weeks ago, and most everyone expects them to be the final four standing in a fortnight’s time at Wimbledon, where play begins today with Nadal as the defending champion.
