Bridge debris to cause delays Investigators will be at the Calf Robe Bridge today to ensure the site is safe No injuries were reported from the incident The scheduled completion date for construction, weather permitting, is mid-October KATIE TURNER

@METRONEWS.CA

Construction on the Calf Robe Bridge has been halted after concrete pieces fell to the water and

ground below yesterday morning. Duty Insp. James Hardy said boaters placed a call to inform emergency services of falling debris from the Deerfoot Trail bridge.

OHS spokesperson Fiona Wiseman said the incident happened while workers were jack-hammering. “They had put up some plywood but there was a gap in between and concrete fell

through.” Alberta Transportation spokesperson Tammy Forbes said it’s too soon to tell how long this delay will be. “Occupational health and safety is looking at the situation so it

would be far too soon to speculate on the impact on construction at all.” The project, like many others throughout the province, has also experienced some rain delays, according to Forbes.

It’s important to come to these events.” Numerous government officials joined legion members for the sombre ceremony, including Jonathan Denis, minister of housing and urban affairs. He spoke about the importance of keeping legion traditions alive. “I think it’s important to

Joey Bleviss, past president of the centennial branch, admitted that maintaining membership is an ongoing struggle. “It seems as if the remembrance stops at the Korean War,” he said. “I think it’s because we don’t do enough to educate the citizens.”

Irene rains on Calgarians in N.Y. CONTRIBUTED/KEITH MARLOWE

New York airports expected to re-open early today Transit system had yet to resume by press time Although New York City was left relatively unscathed by Hurricane Irene, Calgarians in the Big Apple said the powerful storm has put a damper on their plans. Nina Vaughan, deputy commander with Calgary’s Public Safety Communications, is currently in New York with several other emergency service workers for the World Police and Fire Games. “All events scheduled for late yesterday and today have been cancelled, which has been heartbreaking for those athletes that have trained hard for their events,” said Vaughan, who is competing in golf.

Typhoon kills 10 in the Philippines AARON FAVILA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Typhoon Nanmadol began blowing toward Taiwan yesterday after leaving at least 10 people dead and scuttling a visit by a U.S. Navy carrier group in the Philippines, officials said. Taiwan issued sea and land warnings and planned to evacuate about 6,000 people in its eastern and southern regions. Troops and rescue equipment were deployed. The typhoon drenched the northern Philippines

with rain for days before pummeling the area with fierce wind, setting off landslides and floods and toppling walls that left at least six others missing. About 20 were injured by landslides and toppled trees, said Benito Ramos, who heads the Office of Civil Defence. Domestic airlines also cancelled more than a dozen flights in northern and central Philippines. Nanmadol had sus-

Niagara Falls is illuminated in orange to honour the late New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton on Saturday, the day of his state funeral in Toronto.

Layton’s legacy already being felt: McDonough Former NDP leader says Quebec was key to Layton’s success Jack Layton’s ability to connect with Quebecers and tap into their social-democratic sentiments were key to his success, and will be key to any future success of those who come after him, one of his predecessors said Saturday. At the same time, former NDP leader Alexa McDonough said, people are already picking up where Layton left off in terms of his nation-building. “He had spent his entire adult life influencing people to take up the social democratic cause,” McDoSTATE FUNERAL

Funeral’s tone unique An unconventional state funeral for former NDP leader Jack Layton took on the verve of a political rally Saturday, as friends and family tried to galvanize the national grief over the loss of his passionate voice into a call to action. Elder NDP statesman Stephen Lewis led the charge, earning loud cheers and standing ovations as he extolled the virtues of Layton’s

nough said in an interview. “You can already see that he’s reached beyond the grave in terms of challenging people to carry on.” McDonough said Layton managed to tap into something that none of his predecessors, herself included, were able to do. Part of that success, she said, was Layton’s “cachet” at having been born in Quebec and his ability to speak French fluently. But there was something even more imporsocial democratic vision for Canada. With a political who’s-who of all stripes in the audience, even staunch Conservatives like Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined the crowd in applause as Lewis rattled off a host of Layton's New Democrat-friendly causes such as gay rights, housing and the environment. Layton’s final letter to Canadians, which has resonated with so many in the days since his death, was “at its heart, a manifesto for social democracy,” the former Ontario NDP leader and one-time Canadian ambassador said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

tant to his ability to connect with Quebecers in their own language. “He also understood at a really deep level that Quebecers were, at the very core, social democrats,” McDonough said. Still, McDonough said, whether the New Democrats could find another leader to continue its recent successes without Layton remained to be seen. “What the party can do from here on in, we’ll see unfold,” McDonough said THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canadians in mourning Jack Layton’s death last Monday at the age of 61 was a shock, and the ensuing tide of grief has been no less of a surprise. Tributes to the late NDP leader sprang up across the country in the days following his passing. Canadians again flocked to pay their respects on Saturday, lining downtown streets by the thousands, clad in NDP orange and swaddled in Canadian flags, as Layton’s state funeral marked the end of one of the most remarkable political grieving periods in modern Canadian history.

LITTLE HEART OF GOLD FOR ANIMATOR

MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 2011

Some numbers suggest Facebook use in Canada has been slowing. What are your thoughts on the site? 50%

URBAN COMPASS

I don’t know about you. But winning the 2011 Gold Kahuna Award for Animation in Honolulu JANICE PASKEY strikes me as a pretty cool METRO CALGARY thing. Janna-Marynn Brunnen created the story of love lost, “Little Heart” at Quickdraw Animation. It’s an organization that operates in a darkish, creaky space above a downtown Asian restaurant. Quickdraw was started by a few Calgarians who liked cartoons. Over three decades, it’s blossomed into a centre for animation artists, and teens and aboriginal youth. As Calgary adopts the plucky notion of becoming the Cultural Capital of Canada in 2012, artists like Brunnen show what an arts life looks like. She is a graduate of the National Theatre School, worked in “I work theatre for five years, but stumbled upon in textures Quickdraw’s Giraf animaand paints tion festival. “It blew me and I love the away; this is an art form that inspired me.” imperfections, Brunnen, 29, is flower deI love signer by day, and won a the depth National Film Board scholarship to support her aniof field mation education. with the paint, You may know the the visuals super realistic animations you can’t of studios like Pixar, but Brunnen wanted get with something different. She computers handdrew her images and alone.” layered paint on glass. “I ANIMATION ARTIST work in textures and JANNA-MARYNN BRUNNEN paints and I love the imperfections, I love the depth of field with the paint, the visuals you can’t get with computers alone.” Little Heart isn’t online yet, in order to qualify for festivals. And Brunnen hopes her style continues to resonate. “I think people always want to see something new, to see development.” Hannah Arendt once defined arts as activities removed from everyday necessities. Roads, intersections, tunnels, bridges, traffic. The stuff we are usually occupied with in Calgary can get a bit tedious. The arts allow us a welcome reprieve and to imagine and to create — or admire those who do. The Calgary Public Library has a ramped up arts offering this fall. Quickdraw is offering free seminars (register via the library tomorrow at 10 a.m.) but there are Arts Days workshops and day long celebrations, too. Many programs are already full indicating the hunger for arts. As we head into Calgary 2012, it’s a good time to celebrate our strengths. Brunnen sees Calgary as still very open to new artists. “What I would love to see is mingling of the art forms. If there’s a theatre festival let’s have performers outside, and musicians, too.”

New school of freedom ATHENS, GA. As college

students return to campus in Georgia, a new state policy has closed the doors of the five most competitive state schools to illegal immigrants, but a group of professors has found a way to offer those students a taste of what they’ve been denied. The five University of Georgia professors have started a program they're calling Freedom University. They’re offering to teach a rigorous seminar course once a week meant to mirror courses taught at the most competitive schools and aimed at students who have graduated from high school but can’t go to one of those top schools because of the new policy or because of cuts to state scholarship programs. “What we’re hoping is that people in decisionmaking positions will reconsider the policy,” said Reinaldo Roman, one of the organizing professors. “It goes counter to our aims. We have invested enormous resources in these young people.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WEIRD NEWS

Not too posh to push around a cop in Mexico An odd instance of police abuse in which two snobby women shoved, slapped and insulted a cop has captured Mexico’s attention and sparked debate on police tactics, gender and class issues. Tapes of the late-night confrontation on Aug. 20 in the upscale Mexico City neighbourhood of Polanco became a hit on social networking and video-sharing sites, exposing

Mexicans’ frustration with both the arrogant rich and ineffectual police. Pulled over in a traffic stop, the two women shout, swear, shove and slap a policeman, who does nothing to resist. He tries to calm them, moves away several times and eventually allows them to drive away. One of the women, a former Puebla state beauty queen identified as Maria Vanessa Polo Cajica, can be heard on the video waving her hand in front of the officer's face, insulting his mother and calling him a “crappy wage slave.” Police chief Manuel Mondragon said the officers were waiting for a backup unit of female officers to detain the pair, because male cops only physically detain women if someone’s safety is at risk.

HANDOUT

Party tips Chef Corbin Preparation, preparation, preparation. The number one reason people fail at dinner parties, says Corbin, is because they don’t think ahead. “They fly by the seat of their pants and more often than not, are caught with them down.”

In a suburban kitchen on the outer edge of Toronto, half-cooked steak, mystery fish eggs and a whole lot of vodka set the scene for an “interesting” Russian-style dinner party. Known more for their ability to throw a wild soirée than master a dinner party, hosts Erina Karamani and Elena Morozovathe focus their hosting energy on the entertain-

On the set of the reality show Dinner Party Wars, where teams take turns trying to one-up each others culinary prowess, hosting grace and entertainment abilities, the 24-year old hosts are delivered bad news moments before their guests arrive. “That’s not caviar,” celebrity chef Corbin Tomaszeski tells the 24-

year-old hosts. “That’s roe.” Starring blankly at each other, the two blonds dressed in animal prints have to think quickly. “Maybe it’s their strategy to appear like dumb blonds who don’t know what they’re doing,” says fellow contestant Greg Danakas. “But I’m sure they’re not (dumb blonds) and they will really surprise us.” Having grown up in the stock room of his parents’ restaurant, Danakas says he

Cook what you know, know what you cook. “Too often we have people who want to play chef and cook things far too complicated,” says Corbin. Usually, the show-off chef fails. Keeping things simple is the key to success. Anthea Turner, etiquette guru Get it done. Finishing chores well in advance leaves more time for the hosts to entertain. “Set the table the night before and get your clothes ready,” says Turner, who confesses she sometimes lays plates and cutlery two nights before a shindig. Clean it! “Many times there’s a toothbrush, bleach bottle or remnants of kid’s potty in the washroom. I don’t want to see any of that,” says Turner. Paying attention to the small details goes a long way: Fresh soap, a clean hand towel and extra toilet roll are musts when hosting. HANNAH ZITNER

Reversible bucket hats are just one of the many projects in Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew by Liesl Gibson.

Last-minute summer projects Making clothes with your kids’ input is a great way to bond

Try bucket hats as a start

STC CRAFT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Making a bucket hat probably isn’t on anyone’s bucket list, but maybe it should be. The reversible bucket hat in the book Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew (STC Craft, 2011) is classic, cute and comfortable. And author Liesl Gibson maintains that making it is a treat for grown-ups as well as the young recipients. Sewing, for Gibson, is “almost a luxury.” It “buys you some time to do something creative with your hands. When many of us work on computers and aren’t doing much with our hands, there’s a satisfaction in creating.” Gibson, a former clothing designer, began designing patterns for children’s

clothing several years ago, for her young daughter. When others started asking for her patterns, she launched her Oliver + S line of patterns, and followed up with the book. It includes new takes on classic items such as a messenger bag, art smock and tutu. Gibson designed an “explorer vest” with lots of

pockets after watching her daughter and friends gather stones, twigs and other little treasures. Gibson said she’s been encouraged to see many women learning to sew when they become mothers. But she also believes her patterns and projects have a broader appeal, to

anyone interested in sewing for children because it doesn’t take much fabric and doesn’t involve the fussy fitting issues that make sewing adult clothes difficult. “I think the big surprise for me was that it wasn’t such a small audience,” she said. While children likely would find some of the toy projects more appealing, the classic clothing and accessory designs lend themselves to experimenting with a variety of fabrics. The bucket hat, for example, can be customized by using a patterned fabric featuring a particular child’s interests. And a child who might otherwise balk at wearing

a hat might embrace one that he or she had a hand in. As with many of the book’s projects, Gibson designed the hat with her daughter in mind. But it works just as well for boys. The hat is reversible, so you can choose two favourite fabrics, or you could put a pocket on the outside. It is rated “two scissors” because it requires sewing curved seams and topstitching, but no one step is complicated. “It’s small enough that you can make a bunch,” Gibson said.

Fred Davis checks on the bees on the roof of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.

What’s happening to Canada’s honey bees? Crucial to our survival, these incredible insects help pollinate the majority of the world’s food crops Photographer Geoff Fitzgerald is chronicling the efforts of those trying to help “The term CCD (colony collapse disorder) was first coined in the later part of 2006 when there was a huge rise in the number of honey bees that began disappearing from their hives in North America and Europe,” says photographer Geoff Fitzgerald. “The main reason is still unknown; however there are many proposed causes like malnutrition, pathogens, mites, fungus and pesticides. Many scientists believe this phenomenon is caused by a combination of these factors; it is still hard to say.”

Living in downtown Toronto, Fitzgerald never thought beekeeping in the city was possible. That was until he heard about the hives on the roof of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Fitzgerald is chronicling the efforts of the Royal York, along with those by the Canadian Opera Company at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts and University of Toronto campuses. Fitzgerald hopes to expand the series to include Fairmont hotels in Vancouver, Quebec and Calgary. He also wants to photo-

graph hives at Vancouver’s city hall and the convention centre. “I wanted to shoot these photographs as environmental portraits, not just close-ups of bees but to really show the urban environment, rooftop location and its surroundings. I wanted the viewer to see the (person) behind the mask, to see how proud and passionate they are of their busy, hard working girls.” LEARN MORE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHER GEOFF FITZGERALD’S WORK AT

Welcome to the rid-yourhome-oftoxic-chemicals-and-petrole um-based-ingredients club! Tested by yours truly, my homemade green cleaning recipes are versatile, affordable and eco-friendly. Soap granules or flakes are just that: bits of soap that cut grease and lift dirt. Look for brands that are biodegradable, petroleumfree, without added fragrance or perfumes, and not tested on animals. If you can’t find soap granules in the laundry aisle of your grocery store, try a local health food store or search online. You can also make your own — grate a bar of soap

Look for liquid castile soap in the laundry or personal care products aisles of your grocery or local health food store, or purchase online. All of my laundry soap recipes work in cold water and in H.E. machines.

Since water hardness varies across the country, it’s best to test them yourself and see the amount you’ll need to add per load. H.E. machines use less water, so the general rule is that you can use less soap! Link to recipes online at davidsuzuki.org/publications/resources/2011/greencleaning-recipes. David Suzuki Foundation

Here’s one way to make something out of nothing: Turn your unpaid, unappreciated summer internship into a salaried job. Cha-ching!

many executives, coordinators, assistants as you can,” Berger encourages. “When you leave it’s important to stay in touch with those people and let them know what it is you want to do.” Not every internship is a sure leg up, says Samer Hamadeh, author of The Internship Bible. “But even bad internships help you figure out the jobs you don’t want,”

Executives take forever on those.” Make sure you get coffee or lunch with your intern coordinator, too, she adds. “That’s the time for the student, if they are interested in a job, to express that,” she explains.

KEEP IN TOUCH

“Anyone who you meet during the internship, keep track of those people’s first and last names, and when it comes time to leave the internship, any executive, any employee who helped you, even the janitor, write a thank you note, handwritten,” Berger urges. “Three times a year — Fall, Spring, Summer — you want to reach out to those people.”

“There isn’t a scholarship season,” says Tyson. “Companies decide at any time of year that they want to put money out into the marketplace to help students.” There may be more scholarships available during some months than others. For instance, about 13 per cent of the awards on ScholarshipsCanada.com have an April deadline, while only one per cent are due in December. But there are awards available all throughout the year, says Wilkins, so it’s a good idea to keep checking back every month. And many universities have awards available to second-, third- and fourthyear students, so keep looking for opportunities beyond your first year.

Brittany Lincicome put a new spin on the old show tune Singing In the Rain as she gritted her way through a storm to victory in the $2.2-million CN Canadian Women’s Open. The 25-year-old American made a dramatic par save in a driving rain to close with a 2-under 70 and edge defending champion Michelle Wie and Stacy Lewis by one stroke at Hillsdale Golf Club yesterday in Mirabel, Que. Lincicome, who earned $331,492, said she kept herself calm by singing country songs to herself as she parred the final six holes to stay ahead of Lewis and hold off Wie, the winner last year in Winnipeg. Wie sank long putts at the 15th and 17th to make it close with an even-par 72. Lewis had put up the low score of the day — a 67 on a day in which only 16 of 78 were under par — more than an hour earlier. “I was very patient, singing a lot of songs, very chatty,” said Lincicome, who said singing to herself is part of her sports psychology program to stay focused. “The weather was not great, but I was still having fun.” In her post-match interview, she cautioned that “I’m not a good singer, so I’m not singing for you.” The victory was nearly as sweet for her caddy, former LPGA regular A.J.

She also had fine saves on the eighth and ninth. “I’m growing as a golfer, I guess,” said Lincicome. “If this would have happened a couple of years ago, I’m not sure how I would have handled it.” Playing in the last group, Wie needed birdie on 18 to force a playoff, but missed the green to the right and left her chip shot wide and short. She made the putt to keep a share of second place and win $174,812. Fears that the final round would be washed out by remnants of Tropical Storm Irene did not pan out. Rain and nasty gusts of wind hit the lead groups about midway through their rounds, but nothing that would force a stoppage in play. THE CANADIAN PRESS.
