Residents expecting city to rebound Rebuilding

But economists say boomtown revival hopes are misplaced Tim Querengesser Metro | Edmonton

Newfoundlander Debra Smith has little choice but to con tinue believing in the boom town nature of Fort McMurray,

though others warn her opti mism could be misplaced. “I’ve heard some people say they’re not going to go back,” Smith said, after leaving the city for Edmonton recently. “I think it’s the minority. Because everybody is coming back and they’re going to rebuild.” People from Canada’s eco nomically depressed regions, the Maritimes in particular, have for more than a decade turned to Fort McMurray as a city where good-paying jobs are there for those willing to move. But as the city reels from

a wildfire that has displaced 90,000 and cut oil production by an estimated one million barrels per day — economic pain amplified by the price of oil falling by more than half over the past year, with 100,000 people losing their jobs in Al berta alone — two very differ ent views of Fort McMurray’s economic future are emerging. For Smith, from small-town Newfoundland where job pros pects are scarce, Fort McMurray simply has to rebound. “It’ll have to be a boomtown again because you need all

those people to come back to help rebuild everything — put everything back the way it was or even better than it was,” she said. “Give it a year or two and it’ll be back bigger than ever … because, people are not giving up. This is where our home is. It’s not going to die, it’s not going to go away, it can’t. We’re just waiting for the word to go back.” But some economists warn what may look like a boom as the city rebuilds may not heal the fire’s deeper econom ic blow.

Jennifer Winter, director of energy and environmental policy at the University of Cal gary’s School of Public Policy, said on balance, the fire has damaged an already strug gling city. “The issue is that — technic ally yes [there will be a boom] — but it would be much better for Alberta’s provincial econ omy if the fire hadn’t hap pened at all,” Winter said. “And so, yes, there will be a bump in activity as there’s rebuild ing, but it’s not going to com pensate for the lost economic

activity as a result of the fire.” Smith said government money that was set to be used for other goals will now be focused solely on rebuilding McMurray — leading to a shortterm bump but a longer-term hole in other services. “The only real long term economic impact would be increased taxes with the gov ernment response to the fires, increase insurance premiums because of the large payouts and maybe a little bit of a change in Fort McMurray it self,” she said.

Mother’s Day not forgotten evacuees

Volunteers bring flowers for moms at the ‘village’

It is the little things … people are doing that really hit you. Angelina Drake

Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton At the Northlands Expo Centre Sunday it seemed as though every second woman was carrying a fresh cut flower. At the convention facility, which has been swiftly turned into a village for Fort McMurray evacuees, no one wanted to forget Mother’s Day. And so volunteers brought the cut flowers to any mom who wanted them. Thousands of people have come to the centre looking for some level of help over the course of the last week, with close to 2,000 people sleeping in the facility’s giant halls at the peak, but that number is down to 600. Vincent Couse and his stepdaughter Angelina Drake, are

staying with friends, but like many evacuees came to the centre for help with prescriptions and to register for aid. He said the support from everyone in Edmonton and across Alberta has been over-

whelming. “It makes you re-evaluate mankind and see that there are really great people,” he said. Drake said all of the small items, strangers buying coffee or meals for evacuees and

items like that really make people feel supported. “It is the little things that people are doing that really hit you,” she said. Couse was let off work early Tuesday when it became clear

that the fire was getting dangerously close to the community. He raced from his job on his motorcycle. “I have never gone that fast in my life,” he said. Even with his quick return, he said they had little time to gather up a few items and drive quickly out of town. “When we left we could see the fire right behind us in the rear view mirror.” Both Couse and Drake believe their homes are safe, but are eager to get back to the community to be sure. Mayor Don Iveson said the city will operate the centre for as long as is needed, but he is glad people are finding more permanent housing. “We are seeing people who have found apartments in the rental market or spots in a hotel.”

What they say

Amanuel Yirdaw Amanuel Yirdaw has been living at the Northlands Expo Centre for the last two days after making a quick retreat from the Fort McMurray wildfire. He said the facility, which has housed at times nearly 2,000 evacuees has been doing a great job. “People are doing a really excellent job, there is really great food. I appreciate the effort they are doing here,” he said.

Max Obeidat Max Obeidat, was in class at Keyano College when all of a sudden they were told to leave. He said at the time people didn’t understand what they were facing. “No one knew because the teachers were saying ‘see you tomorrow’ and there was no tomorrow,” he said. After making a run for his townhouse on campus he packed a few things and quickly had to leave.

rescue effort

Pets begin to reunite with their families

Furry friends who’ve been displaced by the ravaging fires in Fort McMurray have received a little love from Calgary SPCAs. The animal rescue effort in Fort McMurray has begun to take form, after more than 230 pets were rescued from homes on Wednesday and Thursday. Plus, local officials with the Rural Municipality of Wood Buffalo continue to find makeshift shelters for the displaced critters. Crystal Wheeler’s two pooches each received a toy, blanket and

crate — to fly them out to family in Corner Brook, N.L. — from the Calgary Humane Society on Friday. “Thank you soooooo much!!” Wheeler posted on Facebook. “I can not put into words how touched I am by all the kindness we have been shown during such a stressful time.” Many canines and cats have also arrived in Calgary over the weekend, after they took a flight to stay at a shelter with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS).

Lyndsay Black, resource development and communications co-ordinator with AARCS, said the animals are a bit stressed. “I wish they could talk,” she said. “They’ve been through so much.” She said AARCS has been posting to its Facebook page so owners can hopefully spot their fur babies to reunite. Much of the rescue effort is being handled by the Edmonton Humane Society, where most owners will reunite with their pets, said Black. With files from the Canadian Press

Wildfires that levelled neighbourhoods in Fort McMurray slowed their rampage through tinder-dry forest in northern Alberta on Sunday, allowing firefighters in the oilpatch city to focus on hot spots as plans were made for Premier Rachel Notley to survey the damage first-hand. Notley said the fight against the fire has stabilized to the point that she can visit and begin the next phase of the government’s operation to determine what must be done to eventually allow people to return to the city. Speaking at a media briefing, Notley had to pause to compose herself when she spoke about Mother’s Day and two evacuees who were killed in a traffic accident last week. “Our hearts go out to their families. This is Mother’s Day. I am hoping, in all of this crisis, to

spend a few minutes today with my own children,” Notley said, pausing as her voice cracked. “That not all of us can do that is definitely an awful tragedy. So today, Mother’s Day, all of us in Alberta are thinking of you who have suffered these losses.” Emily Ryan, 15, and her stepmother’s nephew, Aaron Hodgson, died in the accident a day after the fire drove 80,000 people from the city. Notley was scheduled to visit Fort McMurray on Monday. The premier warned residents to brace themselves for the images they will see, reminding them that counselling services are available. Chad Morrison with Alberta Wildfire said firefighters have managed to hold the line against the fire better in Fort McMurray. The weather was changing and below-seasonal temperatures will help firefighters who have been battling the blaze since May 1, he said. The wildfire did not grow to the size that was expected on Saturday, Morrison said. It covered an area of about 1,600 square kilometres on Sunday. the canadian press

‘They’re fighting for their city’ emergency workers

Partners of Fort McMurray firefighters band together Jeremy Simes

For Metro | Calgary It wasn’t exactly the perfect first Mother’s Day for Megan Langpap, as her husband, Hunter, continues to fight the inferno that’s ravaged Fort McMurray and surrounding areas. The Fort McMurray resident is among a group of wives who haven’t seen their firefighting husbands since they left to battle a ferocious blaze that’s bigger than both Calgary and Edmonton. “He’s been giving ’er around the clock since he’s gotten there,” said Megan, who’s been staying with her sister in Edmonton. “They’re exhausted,

but they’re fighting for their city, so I think that’s what’s keeping them focussed. “The love from their wives is non-stop — we’re thinking about them around the clock.” To keep spirits alive, Megan said firefighters’ wives have created a group to set up things like play dates, share school registration information and offer places to stay. “I think being a wife of someone in the fire department, you

she said with a laugh. “If we get to talk to him, it’s a good day. “I miss him, but I also know in my heart he needs to be there.” It’s almost like firefighters have an innate quality to respond to wildfires, she added. “If he was with us, he wouldn’t be resting easy — he needs to be there,” she said. “I think all those firefighters feel this need to go and protect and save.”

Metro | Edmonton

The love from their wives is nonstop — we’re thinking about them around the clock. Megan Langpap can just relate,” she said. “We’ve all banded together, helping each other with everything we may need because we’ve had to move our lives down south.” For Megan, all she needs is an “AG,” or “all good,” from Hunter to keep her at ease. “I literally have a string of ‘AGs’ in my text message feed,”

She said the family anticipates to celebrate Mother’s Day at a later date, when Hunter returns. “All I need right now is my son in my arms, and I have him,” she said. “We’re safe and my husband is safe. The support we’re getting right now is just carrying us.”

A crew of new firefighters is going straight from an Edmonton classroom to the Fort McMurray wildfire. Sixteen students who graduated Norquest College’s Fire and Safety Training program Friday are on standby to battle the blaze that has claimed at least 1,600 structures and caused mass evacuations. “I’m anxious to get out there,” said graduate Lorin Anderson. Anderson grew up in Wabasca-Desmarais, part of the Bigstone Cree Nation, and had his house go up in flames when he was a teenager after a volunteer fire crew responded to the blaze. Ever since then, he’s wanted to fight fires. “When I was 17 my house burned down. The first fire truck that showed up had no water. The second one, they didn’t know how to hook it up. I was shocked,” he said.

For Metro | Calgary One tweet managed to stifle a rumour that Meranda Bos hoped wasn’t true. Bos is among few in Fort McMurray who actually know their homes have been destroyed, as residents haven’t been able to enter the city after a ravenous blaze tarnished many neighbourhoods on Tuesday. “I had heard rumours that our house was gone,” she recalled, while staying with her parents in New Brunswick to attend the funeral of her husband’s father. “But you always try and go, ‘OK, we don’t for sure.” That all changed when she received a text from her neigh-

bour while on her way to Edmonton. Within the message was a link to a tweet that showcased the rubble that was left in the neighbourhood of Wood Buffalo. “After I saw that, I said to my husband, ‘Adam, our house is gone,’” Bos said. “We had prepared a little bit, but we were so focused on the funeral that we didn’t think too much about it.” According to the latest dam-

age assessment by local officials, 1,600 structures in town have been lost, where 80 per cent of homes in the community of Beacon Hill were destroyed. To make light of the situation, Bos joked to her husband that they no longer need to repaint the dreadful yellow walls. “It’s like this running joke: ‘Oh, you get to pick your paint colours now,’” she chuckled.

No ‘imminent threat’ to Saskatchewan Jeremy Simes

For Metro | Calgary Though the Saskatchewan government doesn’t anticipate an “imminent threat” from the growing Fort McMurray wildfires, it has set up mechanisms to fight the blaze if it enters the province. On Saturday, Alberta officials said the inferno that’s burned parts of Fort McMurray was headed toward the Saskatch-

ewan border. On Sunday, Steve Roberts, executive director of wildfire management with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, said the government isn’t yet worried about the blaze affecting local communities, as they’re about 60 kilometres from the current wildfire. However, he said Saskatchewan has begun to implement sprinkler units and other equipment on the border, in case flames encroach. Saskatchewan staff have flown into Alberta to

assess the current fire, he said, adding they’ve assessed the blaze to better understand where it’s heading. He couldn’t say when Saskatchewan should expect the fire to cross over, as its activity depends on weather patterns. “We have the latitude to engage the fire on the Alberta side,” he said. “We do not have to wait (to fight the blaze) until it comes into Saskatchewan.” Northern Saskatchewan towns will also see much smoke, depending on wind patterns, he added.

deterrent Last year, Saskatchewan battled raging forest fires in the northern part of the province. If Alberta’s fires are to spread north and into already-burnt areas, Roberts said the singed forests will act as a deterrent to the flames as there will be no dry vegetation — or fuel — to aid in its growth.

Wildfire evacuee Gloria Trottier prays during a service at the Word of Faith Family Church, in Lac la Biche, Alta., on Sunday.

Fort McMurray priest leads first Sunday mass since fire Worshippers, many with red eyes and weary expressions, filed Sunday morning into a modest brown church on the southern shores of Lac la Biche, Alta. Like many of those gathered for mass, Rev. Andrew Schoenberger is far from home and doesn’t know when he’ll be able to return to fire-ravaged Fort McMurray. Schoenberger had a message for those who, like him, have been displaced by the massive wildfire. “We may be tempted to think, ‘Well Jesus left us.’ But Jesus did not leave us,” he told the congregation at Saint Catherine’s Roman Catholic Church. “Indeed we have seen Christ through the kindness and the love and the generosity of so many people who have opened our arms to us. Even in the midst of tragedy ... God is present, God is with us.” Some in the congregation showed the signs of the stress caused by the evacuation. A man in shorts, flip-flops and a fleece jacket appeared dazed as he slowly dipped his fingers in holy water by the door, made the sign of the cross and shuffled to his seat. A woman in the pews dabbed at her eyes with a tissue.

Schoenberger fled north from Fort McMurray on Tuesday when a citywide evacuation order was issued, picking up five other people on the way. He left his car at Canadian Natural Resources’ Horizon oilsands site and managed to catch a flight south to Edmonton. This weekend, he came to Lac la Biche, a normally sleepy hamlet about halfway between Edmonton and Fort McMurray that has taken in thousands of wildfire evacuees. On Sunday afternoon, he was scheduled to attend a service in Conklin, about 90 minutes north. He said he understands St. John the Baptist church in downtown Fort McMurray is still standing, as is another one in the neighbourhood of Thickwood. Toward the end of the service, Schoenberger read aloud a message sent Friday from the Vatican. “The Holy Father was saddened to learn of the destruction and distress caused by the extensive fires around Fort McMurray, and he assures you of his prayers for all the displaced, especially the children, who have lost their homes and livelihoods,” read the letter signed by Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin. To anyone whose faith has been shaken by the disaster, Schoenberger said: “This too shall pass.” “We have many crosses and challenges in our lives, but they do pass and we always have hope that God is in control, that there is going to be a future beyond this,” he said.

calgary Heroes Ordinary people doing extraordinary things

A hometown full of heroes generosity

City’s response to wildfire in Fort McMurray deserves kudos Brodie Thomas

Metro | Calgary We’ve got a different sort of hero this week. It’s not any single person. It’s this collection of people in this place we call Calgary. That’s right, our Calgary Hero this week: it’s Calgary, and the city’s response to the Fort McMurray wildfire. It’s the kids who were selling lemonade on Saturday in places all over town to raise money for evacuees. It’s the people who stopped to buy a glass. It’s the thousands of people who opened their homes to strangers, and answered the call for donations. Lindsay Black, communications co-ordinator with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society, said when they put out a call for animal crates, people came out in droves. “Calgarians are amazing,” she said. “There was just a convoy of vehicles driving in, dropping off their crates.” The Rescue Crew has also taken in a number of dogs that were flown in by Imperial Oil. They had to be abandoned during the evacuation. Now they’re working to reunite those animals with their owners. It’s people like Rachael O’Neill, who knows what its like to be an evacuee. Her home was hit in the

2013 flood, and to make matters worse, her son had special medical equipment in the home. At the time, the family had to scramble to meet those needs. Because she’s been in that position, O’Neill has been coordinating distributions of medical supplies from one family to another: things like

oxygen and special baby formula. “There’s a formula called Neocate. You have to get it from a hospital,” she said. “We’ve been co-ordinating with families primarily in Calgary that have supplies that can spare some.” Since the fires, O’Neill hasn’t just been co-ordinating the deliveries — she’s been

making them, too. “I’ve gotten them on planes, and trucks and buses and I’ve driven them myself,” she said. Most of all, it’s the people who are taking the time to text REDCROSS to 30333 in order to make a $5 donation. If you haven’t done this yet, what are you waiting for? It’s your chance to be a hero.

FORT MCMURRAY WILDFIRE Fundraising

James Taylor turns concerts to benefits James Taylor is leaning on his music to help Fort McMurray wildfire evacuees. The Carolina in My Mind singer has made two Alberta concerts next month into benefits that will raise money for the wildfire rescue efforts. He says proceeds from tickets to his shows in Calgary on June 7 and Edmonton on June 8 will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross. “To turn those couple of shows into benefits is just too

good an opportunity to pass up,” Taylor said in a phone interview from his tour bus. “It’s a major national catastrophe, and it’s just impossible to ignore it.” Taylor says the idea came from conversations with his Canadian manager Sam Feldman on Friday, as he rolled into Ottawa for the first of a 15-concert tour of Can-

adian cities over the next month. “You just don’t want to think of profiting at a time like this,” Taylor says. “It’s a time when something better can be done with the money.” More than 80,000 residents of Fort McMurray have been displaced by the fires, which began last week.

Forest-fire officials say it could be months before they’ve fully extinguished the massive blaze, which has already spread across two-thousand square kilometres of northern Alberta. Taylor has frequently participated in fundraising events for social and political causes. “It’s a feeling ... of community that happens at a concert that is so compelling,” he says. “It’s kind of a spiritual thing. It’s the closest I get to church.” The Canadian Press

Good Shepherd Catholic

Convoy drives students past walls of flame An elementary-school principal from Fort McMurray is crediting her staff for ferrying 70 students through the heart of the blaze. Laura Dennis says the swift growth of the fire Tuesday afternoon left her with little choice but to get the children out of Good Shepherd Catholic School before official evacuation procedures could get underway. She mobilized her staff, instructing them to take as many students as they could in their own vehicles and head toward another school that wasn’t in the direct line of fire. Dennis says the convoy drove metres from walls of flame that were destroying the neighbourhood of Beacon Hill. “It was so scary driving along Beacon Hill with all these little kids in cars, and the flames were so close,” Dennis said. “There

were some live embers dropping onto the road.” Dennis says the teachers remained with their students for as long as 10 hours, foregoing the chance to return home for their own belongings, until everyone was safely reunited with their families. “None of my staff got home. They all had to leave right from the school,” Dennis said. “Lots of them have their own families, so it’s quite commendable.” Dennis said no one had any inkling of what the day had in store when students swarmed into class under clear, blue skies. By lunch time, however, the situation had changed. Dennis said she knew trouble was looming based on the deteriorating air quality and dark clouds of smoke. Dennis ended lunch recess a few minutes early to get the students back inside. Almost immediately thereafter, she said, terrified parents began arriving in droves. About 190 of the 260 students were gone within an hour, leaving staff and about 70 students. The Canadian Press

Northeast blaze claims five lives Disaster

Neighbour rushes back to check on his family, home Aaron Chatha

Metro | Calgary George McGregor was in Toronto when he got the call that his northeast Calgary home was on fire. At 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, in

the 100 block of Falchurch Crescent N.E., flames burst from the home next to his and soon spread to his own, where his family was. He caught the first plane back to Calgary. “I knew they were all okay, they had gotten out, but I didn’t know how they were mentally — how they were doing,” he said. The people inside the home where the fire started weren’t so lucky. Officials said five people died in the fire, the cause of which was still being investigated.

McGregor said he didn’t know the people in the house very well. They had moved in three or four years ago but mostly kept to themselves. The homeowner’s wife had moved out, but sometimes he still saw her and the kids drop by. Officials believe all those killed inside the home were men. Neighbours said the house was frequented by authorities. Looking at his own home, McGregor said the roof would likely have to be replaced. The walls were badly damaged, along with the windows and shed.

Metallic fins to keep loiterers out of Central Library alcoves Helen Pike

Metro | Calgary The Calgary Public Library wants you to hang out — just not outside its downtown Central location. In the coming months, metal fins will be attached to the Central Library alcoves facing Mcleod Trail to help stop sketchy behaviour and loitering in the area. “Were going to make a few changes to the alcoves,” said Bill Ptacek, CEO of the Calgary Public Library. “At one time we had chain-link there, and that was pretty unfriendly. Rocky Mountain Plaza changed their outside environment there, so a lot of folks who like to hang around ended up coming to the other side of the street.”

Ptacek said the library got sound advice from Calgary police about best practices. “One of the things they strongly suggested is we not make it comfortable for people to hang out in the alcoves,” Ptacek said. “We don’t want to make it like a prison, or anything like that.” He clarified they’re “not putting in spikes in or anything.” The process will be done in an “artful” manner. The work, being designed by Dialog and funded through the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) infrastructure budget, is expected to start soon — and it better. The old Central Library will be empty come 2018. The project is under $50,000. According to Susan Veres, spokeswoman with CMLC, the project is still in the design phase. The three-inch fins will hold an

Alberta PC party slashes half of its debt the Tories said they still owe $770,000, adding much focus will be on fundraising. On Sunday, Interim PC Leader Ric McIver said the party has repaid about $730,000 after the party revealed it was $1.5 million in the hole in November. “We’ve come a long ways,” McIver said. “We need to keep going, but there is no reason to think that we can’t succeed — we just need to keep working at it.” McIver said the party has

Despite not having its usual corporate donors, the Progressive Conservative party has slashed about half its debt since losing the 2015 provincial election. At Saturday’s annual general meeting in Red Deer — where the PCs said they’re committed to rebuilding the party —

Virtual reality meets real estate technology

Agent gets you inside a condo that hasn’t been built yet

If they’re going to start playing with the space, as a salesperson, I’m going to think, ‘This person’s really thinking about investing.’

Aaron Chatha

Metro | Calgary Beyond Reality’s Garlon Yau said most prospective clients are sceptical at first about virtual reality being used to sell real estate. So, he hooks them with the old adage: “Show, don’t tell.” To prove his point, Yau hooked this Metro reporter into his virtual reality experience. He fitted me with a pair of HTC Vive goggles, headphones and two controllers. Then he plopped me into a virtual condo. “The virtual reality falls essentially one step behind the real thing,” said Yau. Through the interface, it was like stepping into another world. I could move around the space at will. If I wanted to peek around a corner, or duck under a nook,

I simply moved my body like I would in an actual apartment tour. I stepped onto the balcony, took a view of the skyline and heard the traffic passing by from below. What really caught me off

guard was when Yau asked me to interact with a table. I did — and it changed to a different type of table. I soon found I could cycle through different furniture options. Within moments, I was changing up the furniture and exploring differ-

person, I’m going to think, ‘This person’s really thinking about investing,’” Yau explained. While exploring the space, Yau was seeing what I looked at through a computer monitor. He walked me through the space, just like any real estate

agent would. While not photo-realistic, the details in the space Yau designed were detailed enough that I could read the cover of a magazine, and see folded shirts in the walk-in closet. Yau said his team hopes to redefine how real estate is sold — especially for developers hoping to get investors in on the ground floor. Where previously they had blueprints, mockups and a shot of the skyline, with virtual reality they can explore the potential space for themselves. Then, when construction is complete, they’ll get to walk into the exact same space they explored virtually six months or even two years beforehand.

Drug boss sent to Mexico’s worst jail El Chapo

Prison located in territory controlled by Sinaloa cartel

Chile ‘red tide’ hits seven cities A dead sea lion lies on the shore, as a truck belonging to the Center for Studies and Conservation of Cultural Heritage NGO drives by at Mar Brava beach in Chiloé Island, Chile, on Sunday. A poisonous algae bloom known as red tide has affected seven major cities and dozens of fishing towns, including Chiloé. Experts say it’s linked to high temperatures stemming from the El Nino weather pattern. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The northern Mexico prison where authorities suddenly transferred convicted drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is rated as the worst in the federal penitentiary system for inmate conditions and other factors, according to the government’s own reporting. The Cefereso No. 9 facility on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso, Texas, did score well on “conditions of governability,” perhaps an indication that authorities believe they can limit the risk of Guzman pulling off a third brazen jailbreak. But Michael Vigil, the former head of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, questioned the logic of sending Guzman to

a less-secure prison that’s in territory firmly controlled by El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel after it emerged victorious from a war with the Juarez cartel in recent years. “It just doesn’t make any sense,” Vigil said Sunday. “He has that part of his empire, he has the infrastructure there and he has people who would assist him in terms of engineering him another escape.” A 2015 report by the governmental National Human Rights Commission gave the Juarez prison an overall 6.63 rating on a scale of 0 to 10, the lowest for any of Mexico’s 21 federal prisons. By comparison, the maximum-security Altiplano facility near Mexico City where Guzman was confined before was 10th best with a rating of 7.32. Altiplano is considered the country’s highest-security prison, and many had thought it to be inescapable. That belief was shattered in July 2015 when Guzman fled the facility through a sophisticated, milelong tunnel that accomplices

Escapes Most-wanted fugitive Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman first broke out of a Mexican prison in 2001 and spent more than a decade on the run as one of the world’s mostwanted fugitives. He was recaptured in 2014, only to escape the following year. Mexican marines re-arrested him in the western state of Sinaloa in January, after he fled a safe house through a storm drain.

World Egypt

Archeologists clash over King Tut theory Archeologists battled at a conference in Egypt on Sunday over a theory that secret burial chambers could be hidden behind the walls of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Speaking at the conference, former antiquities minister and famed Egyptologist Zahi Hawass rejected the theory that undiscovered chambers lie behind the tomb and likely contain the tomb of Queen Nefertiti, one of pharaonic Egypt’s most famous

figures. The theory has prompted new exploration and it has been extensively scanned by radar. “In all my career ... I have never come across any discovery in Egypt due to radar scans,” Hawass said, suggesting the technology would be better used to examine existing tombs that are known to contain sealed-off chambers. British Egyptologist Nicolas Reeves meanwhile defended the theory he put forward last year.

Preliminary results of successive scans suggest the tomb contains two open spaces, with signs of metal and organic matter lying behind its western and northern walls. “I was looking for the evidence that would tell me that my initial reading was wrong,” he said. “But I didn’t find any evidence to suggest that. I just found more and more indicators that there is something extra going on in Tutankhamun’s tomb.”

The conference aims to bring broader scientific rigour to what so far have only been tantalizing clues in recent explorations of the tomb. Antiquities Minister Khaled el-Anani, who attended the conference, said that scans of the tomb would continue in line with the group’s recommendations, but that no physical exploration would be allowed unless he was “100 per cent sure there is a cavity behind the wall.” the associated press

New austerity bill prompts protests near parliament Greek anarchists hurled firebombs, chairs and wooden planks at riot police in brief clashes outside parliament while lawmakers were debating a controversial austerity bill, disrupting a much larger peaceful rally on Sunday. Police responded with stun grenades and bursts of tear gas to disperse the anarchists, who were split into two groups — one of them mixed among a peaceful protest of about 10,000 people holding banners and the other inside Syntagma Square in front of parliament. The bill, introduced as part of requirements that debt-rid-

den Greece must meet under its third international bailout, was approved by the 153 lawmakers of the ruling Syriza/Independent Greeks government coalition; all opposition parties in the 300-member Parliament voted against. It’s set to dramatically increase social security and pension contributions and raise taxes for most people. Greek workers say the increases will decimate their incomes, already hurt by six years of crippling austerity, and have staged a series of strikes. The larger protest on Sunday was called for by Greece’s biggest unions and most of those in attendance were Communist party sympathizers. About 45 minutes before they started throwing projectiles, anarchists approached and beat up a known farmer activist, shouting that he was a member of the far-right Golden Dawn party. Other protesters dragged the farmer away. the associated press

Foreign owners stifle home dreams REAL ESTATE

Non-residents drive up prices; governments complicit: Study

A new study says the Canadian and B.C. governments are complicit in fuelling Vancouver’s housing crisis as foreign Chinese buyers continue to shut local residents out of the market. The study notes that the same trend is affecting the Toronto housing market to a lesser degree. THE CANADIAN PRESS FILE

The Canadian and British Columbia governments are complicit in fuelling Vancouver’s housing crisis as foreign Chinese buyers continue to shut local residents out of the market, a new study says. Josh Gordon, the study’s author and assistant professor in the School of Public Policy at Simon Fraser University, said people whose dreams of owning a home are being crushed because they can’t compete with foreign investors no longer accept “distraction” excuses such as low interest rates for the state of the super-heated market. “People recognize what’s going on, and they’re willing to call a spade a spade,” he said, stressing that such views are based on reality, not racism. His report compiles a number of other studies, including data on home-buying trends, population density, the cancelled immigrant investor program, and American research on the same issue. Gordon said his report blames Vancouver’s housing crisis on foreign buyers, particu-

larly from China, because “this is where the evidence points, not because of some anti-Chinese animus.” Chinese investors have also spiked home prices in the Toronto region, but Vancouver has seen the highest rise in real estate due to the influx of foreign money reaching an unprecedented level in the last year, he said. The average sale price of a single-detached home in Metro Vancouver was $1.4 million in April, a 30 per cent increase from a year earlier, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. The report, titled “Vancouver’s Housing Affordability Crisis: Causes, Consequences and Conclusions,” says political inaction has allowed the problem to grow. In March, Premier Christy Clark said the province will impose regulations to end the “shady” practice of contract flipping, allowing real estate agents to flip a property multiple times at higher prices before a deal closes as they continue making commissions while buyers avoid paying property taxes. This year’s federal budget allocated $500,000 over the next year for Statistics Canada to develop methods to track ownership of Canadian homes by foreign homebuyers.

The average sale price for a single-detached home in Metro Vancouver was $1.4 million in April.

+30% The single detached home price of $1.4 million represents a 30 per cent increase since 2015.

Texans vote to keep rideshare fingerprinting Fingerprinting drivers for ridehailing companies must continue in Texas’ capital city after voters rejected a $9 million campaign by Uber and Lyft to overturn the safety measure. Both Uber and Lyft threatened to leave Austin, which hosts an-

nual events such as the South by Southwest and Austin City Limits music festivals, on Monday after Saturday’s defeat, the Austin American-Statesman reported. “Lyft and Austin are a perfect match and we want to stay in the city,” Lyft spokeswoman Chel-

sea Wilson said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the rules passed by city council don’t allow true ride-sharing to operate.” Voters decided to keep city rules that require ride-hailing company drivers to undergo fingerprint-based background

checks by Feb. 1, 2017. Austin also prohibits drivers from stopping in traffic lanes for passenger drop-offs and pick-ups, includes requirements for identifying vehicles for hire and imposes data reporting on the ride-hailing companies. the associated press

THE QUESTION

Could you provide some kind of guide to public ogling? Dear Ellen, I’m wondering if you can provide some kind of guide to ogling (is that even how you spell it?). L. Dear L., You’ll see that I moved the list of questions in your letter down into my answer (below) so I could easily address them one by one. But before we begin, the fact you can barely spell “ogling” makes me wonder if you are defining it correctly. “Ogling” (which, btw, is pronounced OH-gleen, not AWG-leen) connotes leering or blatantly checking out someone’s body. This I do not condone. Unless you are a sex worker or Miley Cyrus, you don’t want to go out in public and have some gross, horny stranger staring at you with their tongue hanging out, blatantly undressing you with their eyes, or making any other gesture pertaining to a desire to see you naked. However, dear L., if what you really mean is “looking” — well, that’s another matter. It’s normal to look. Whether we want to or not, whether we’re even conscious of it or not, our animal brains contain an ancient, uncontrollable limbic system that is constantly ordering our eyeballs to check out potential mates. The trick for any civilized person is to know how and

Our animal brains contain an ancient, uncontrollable system constantly ordering our eyeballs to check out potential mates.

when to look, which brings us to your excellent questions. Is it best to just avoid all eye contact with strangers? It depends. Sometimes firm eye contact along with a smile is required, as when stepping around an elderly person on a sidewalk, or accepting change from a cashier. Other times, eye contact

being noticed on the street by appreciative, respectful strangers who know how to nano-look, perhaps even offer a courtly nod, and then keep walking — women of a certain age adore visiting Paris for this very reason. Like I said, finesse is required. Should I avoid eye contact with strangers who are way better looking than me?

should be avoided at all costs, like when the person on the sidewalk is holding a clipboard and wants to ask about your personal beliefs. Or the sidewalk is a dark alley and the stranger is shouting lewd comments at you. Then there’s the limbicbrain situation, which requires more finesse. If you notice an attractive-to-you stranger, it’s perfectly acceptable to flick a nano-second of pupil dilation at them. Believe me, if they find you attractive, they won’t miss it. And even if they don’t find you attractive, many civilized human beings don’t mind

Absolutely not! First of all, “way better looking” is in the eye of the beholder. Secondly, it’s not just looks that make a person attractive. Grooming, style, self-confidence, a lust for life — these are all attributes that make anyone worth a look. What about making eye contact in the reflection of a bus or subway window? The same rules apply. Don’t ogle, and desist if the attention is registered but not reciprocated. Furthermore, if any of you readers start a romantic relationship in this unbearably romantic way, I must insist you contact

me so I can share your story with the entire Metro audience. Where is the line between friendly smile and overfriendly smile? Please see paragraphs above referring to “tongue hanging out” and “finesse.” What about staring at a beautiful human who is driving and ignoring you and perhaps even endangering your life while you are riding alongside them on your bike? No amount of looking is worth dying for. Pull over, and pull yourself together. Is it wrong to look at beautiful people when you are happily married with kids and should be texting about the parent-teacher interview and investing in RRSPs instead? As long as you aren’t criminally neglecting your children or miscalculating your contributions, and you really are just looking, this is probably when you should be looking the most. Has the internet affected what’s reasonable in this domain? I’d have to see your search history in order to answer this question properly. And truth be told, I’m not sure I’m being paid enough to undertake that kind of research. Is Canadian winter a consideration here? A good Canadian, new or old, will develop looking powers that see, and appreciate, beyond Cougars boots, Garbage mitts and Canada Gooses. But now that spring is breaking, and the streets are full of moulting Canucks, I’d say we’re all happy to see more of everybody. Need advice? Email Ellen:

Handwriting: A way to be near a loved one who is far away Not everyone will have spent yesterday with their mother. Some mothers have died, some are estranged, and some mothers (mine) live far away. But there are ways to be near a person who is not here — among them, their handwriting. Handwriting is a physical mark that a person exists, or existed. They were here, moments or hours or weeks ago, leaning over this paper, with a pen that has lent this ink — giving a little something of themselves away. In what they said, but more magical to those who love them, in how they wrote it. Mum’s hand is looping and full and warm, spreading over the page, soft and round like dough rising. Dad’s is compact and slanted, more elegant, exact, and careful (he is a man who has always measured twice). My fiancé, a non-traditional type, writes in a hand unburdened by structure, rough and staccato, more utilitarian, less self-conscious. I can also see both my brothers’ scripts, and my sister’s. All handwriting is as recognizable as a voice or a gait, but it has something extra, and special — a physical tie to the person. It was made by them, and it goes on to exist, and it can be folded up and kept in a wallet. Even after the

bent edges tear, you can still pull it out and piece it together and hold both the thoughts and marking of a person. In 2014, researchers found that students who took handwritten notes in a lecture remembered the material better. The idea was that you have to synthesize information as you record it, since few can write long-hand as fast as a person speaks. I’ve also wondered if the personalization of the information into your own script, and the physically committing it to a page, doesn’t also help. There also seems to me to be some tie between these findings and the difference between physical words on paper, and digital ones on screen. In my own life, the former make a more lasting impact. They seem more real. Which is perhaps why I cannot throw out the card and letters sent by my mother (or father, who posts them less frequently), or the random notes left by my fiancé. They’re collected in random piles, in baskets and drawers around the apartment, or stuck to the fridge. They might be deemed clutter, but they are more truly vessels for spirits. And you can call upon them like an incantation, open them and poof: Your love is here. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Bautista moves to bowl flips interview

rapid Q&A round

Jays right fielder lends image to cereal boxes

Scooter or bicycle? Scooter right now. Hotdog or pizza? That’s a tough one but I have to go with pizza.

Don’t ask Jose Bautista to choose between his favourite cereals. “Bad first question,” he says, when asked if he prefers Golden Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the two cereals that will carry his image on boxes for months to come. Fair enough. The collaboration between the Blue Jays right fielder and General Mills Canada — sparked by Bautista’s Instagram posts showing him cradling the boxes — will see the two cereals with his image on shelves across Canada starting this week. The announcement comes after a years-long cereal industry slump and reports that millennials are turning away from the traditional breakfast food because it requires too much work to eat. We sat down with Bautista, 35, a father of three and noted health nut who nonetheless indulges in sugary cereal after games and on the road, at the Rogers Centre for a brief interview to chat nutrition, fitness, and — yes, cereal. As you’ve gotten older, how has your nutrition changed? Are there certain things you don’t eat anymore? At different times of the year I have different diets and they all have a purpose. At times I take things in and out of the diet for specific purposes, but there’s nothing that I ever say, “I’m never eating this again.” I like to keep a good rotation. It all depends on if I’m training, if I’m in season, if I’m in a rest and recovery phase right after the season. I think it just adjusts a lot.

Cinnamon Toast or Golden Grahams? That’s not fair.

Growing up, a little bit of Golden Grahams. Cinnamon Toast Crunch wasn’t that popular in the Dominican when I was growing up, but Golden Grahams was. We used to get a lot of knockoffs, so the general brand version of Golden Grahams. It was still a luxury item and I was from a middle class family. It’s not like every time my mom went to the grocery store she got me one but when she could she would.

Jose Bautista, a cereal aficionado himself, has partnered with Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, two cereals that will carry his image on their boxes for the coming months. bernard weil/torstar news service

Know how much you need before you live hand to mouth Gail Vaz-Oxlade

For Metro Canada Every time I see an article proclaiming that I’m going to need a b’zillion bucks to retire I want to throw up in my mouth. I’m so sick of the arbitrary numbers tossed around by experts and their calculators. With a target that feels impossible to attain is it any wonder that people give up and say, “Hey, I can save $1,200 this year and that’s not gonna do squat for me, so I’m heading to Puerto Plata!” The next time you see one of those headlines, ask yourself this question: How can they know how much I’m going to need if they don’t know how much I’m spending. See, that’s the thing. If you’re spending gobs and gobs of money on all kinds of crap, you may very well need a b’zillion bucks.

Career You can do this electrician

‘Something different every day’ WHY I LIKE MY JOB

THE BASICS: Electrician

$57, 510

Ross Kostron, 40, Red Seal Electrician / General Manager at Mr. Electric Canada, Regina, SK My career started on the farm. As a teenager, I often worked with my dad to install agricultural wiring and naturally found myself at Saskatchewan Polytechnic to pursue my electrician certification at the age of 17. I put in four years of schooling — including 7,200 hours of on-the-job training — to achieve my interprovincial Red Seal journeyman credentials. From there, I was given the opportunity to work for several residential and commercial projects across Canada, including installations and upgrades for franchises like McDonald’s and Tim Horton’s. I now manage an electrical servicing company in six locations across Canada, where I work closely with hundreds of technicians to meet the demands of the urban construction boom. I am most excited about the opportunities made available from advancing technologies — whether they provide electricians with a unique range of projects, or enhance interactive engagement as they go about their daily routines. I enjoy what I do mostly because there is something different to experience every day. I’ve been able to meet many different people and make lifelong friends along the way — even working for and meeting sports figures from both the CFL and NHL. Being able to hire staff feels great, too, as I get to help new technicians become part of something bigger while also powering community growth.

VARSITY

HOW TO START Enrolling in an apprenticeship program is a typical starting point for an aspiring electrician. Trade schools or vocational colleges offer great programs to achieve provincial certification.

WHERE YOU CAN GO Potential career opportunities are vast, with many openings for residential, commercial, industrial and power systems technicians. Those who specialize in new technologies and possess extensive knowledge of different types of wiring used for data, voice and video are expected to be in greatest demand.

NEXT CAREER STEP An experienced professional in this trade can aspire to higherpaying supervisory roles. Some electricians opt to advance their careers — and their salaries — by pursuing a Master Electrician certificate, launching their own contracting business or by specializing in the industrial sector as a marine, mine or gas plant technician.

Half a century of human rights work

CONTEST

Navi Pillay served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008-2014. contributed interview

Navi Pillay on her rise from poverty to UN commissioner Born into poverty in South Africa to Tamil parents, Navi Pillay was the first South African to earn a doctorate in law from Harvard Law School. Her experiences growing up under apartheid led her to become a human rights activist. She served on the International Criminal Court before being appointed United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2008. She retired from that post in 2014. She was in Toronto last week to deliver the 2016 N. Sivalingam Memorial Lecture in Tamil Studies at Osgoode Hall Law School. What was it like growing up as a minority within a minority under apartheid? How did that shape your future? Growing up under apartheid as an Indian South African meant I experienced daily discrimination, deprivation and poverty, like all other persons of colour. Under the law, we grew up segregated, living in poor areas and denied access to parks, beaches, good schools and health care. I studied law in a potato warehouse, separated from white students at the main university. Once I qualified as a lawyer, the mainly white law firms refused to employ me because they said they will not tolerate their white secretaries taking instruction from a black person.

When President Mandela appointed me as the first black woman to serve as a judge on the High Court, as an acting judge, it was the first time I entered a judge’s chamber. The positive outcome is that, at school and university, we came to see apartheid as a repressive system of injustice and denial of fundamental rights, and became activists for our liberation. We were energized and motivated to speak and act. The experience taught me to understand the evils of racism, discrimination and hate speech and denial of civil and

political rights and economic, social and cultural rights, and to care about justice and human rights for all people. Having gone through the experience of a victim, I continue to work towards a better world for all. Critics often dismiss the United Nations and its agencies as being ineffective in solving global issues. What’s your experience working for the UN? The UN is an organization of states and is very much influenced by governments, and their national and regional

interests. However, over the years, it grew from a club of sovereign states to adopting a framework of norms and standards of human behaviour. This is embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and many treaties. And all states were expected to comply with these standards, and protect their population. Under international law, where a state fails or is unable to do so, the responsibility lies with the international community to help. Unfortunately, many conflicts rage around the world and civilian populations are subject to killings, forced displacement and denial of fundamental rights, such as in Syria, South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo. What’s life after the UN like? I have been working non-stop for more than 50 years as a lawyer, defending anti-apartheid activists in South Africa for 29 years, as a judge on the UN Tribunal for Rwanda, as a judge and president of that court for 8.5 years, as a judge of the appeals division in the International Criminal Court and as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. My experience of change from apartheid to democracy teaches me that change is possible but we have to be constantly watchful that we do not regress. My experience of working at the UN is an abiding impression of the many UN staff who give dedicated and courageous service in the cause of human rights and humanitarian relief. torstar news service

Dear White People spun into series Searing college comedy Dear White People is heading for online streaming network Netflix in 2017, after the studio placed an order for a ten-episode show based on the 2014 feature film. Its cohort of young actors have become increasingly recognizable, and the same could be true for Dear White People as production gets underway on a new original series for Netflix. Co-star Tessa Thompson went on to appear in a pair of high profile critical hits, with historical civil rights drama Selma and Rocky sports franchise successor Creed following Dear White People. Teyonah Parris, already familiar from her work on Mad Men, moved over to sports comedy Survivor’s Remorse, while also booking the lead role in Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq. And Tyler James Williams, known in his younger days as the central character from Everybody Hates Chris, became a season 5 regular on The Walking Dead, and part of the core team on Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. At this early stage, it’s not certain how much of the original Dear White People ensemble will return for this episodic interpretation, but writer and director Justin Simien is helming the project, which bodes well.

Also staying on board are the movie’s producers, Stephanie Bray and Julia Lebedev, with Devon Shepard of the Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell management consultancy satire House of Lies also joining the team. Netflix and Simien are keeping quiet about characters and

cast for now, but what’s certain is that the new Dear White People will remain a “send-up of post-racial America,” set in a predominantly white Ivy League college that doesn’t know how to deal with racial tensions; Simien’s treatment will retain the diversity that exists among its students of colour. And after the series’ source collected two trophies from an impressive ten Black Reel Awards nominations, it’s even possible that Dear White People will do even better as a series than it did in feature format. afp

Special report: National nursing week

With you every step of the way National Nursing Week

A time to raise awareness of all the things nurses do Jason Menard National Nursing Week, running from May 9-15, is an opportunity to reflect upon and appreciate the integral role that nurses play in the Canadian health-care system. “This year’s theme, ‘Nurses — With you every step of the way,’ is meaningful in many ways and can mean different things to different people,” explained Anne Sutherland, chief executive officer at the Canadian Nurses Association. “For me, it’s particularly meaningful because it underlines the fact that nurses help Canadians achieve their best health to lead healthy lives, in many more ways than people can expect. “This week is a great opportunity to reflect on the remarkable contributions that nurses bring to make Canada healthier.” National Nursing Week got its start in 1985, when the federal minister of health proclaimed the second week of May a time to mark the dedication and achievements of the nursing profession in Canada. With nurses involved

This week is a great opportunity to reflect on the contributions that nurses bring to make Canada healthier. Istock

in all health-care settings — from neonatal intensive care to mental-health services to palliative care, and in research and education — they are a key to the success of our sys-

tem. “With more than 406,000 regulated nurses in Canada, nurses really are the backbone of our universal health-care system. If we consider our

rapidly aging population, the nursing role is more important than ever, and its significance will only continue to grow in the years ahead,” Sutherland said. “At the Canadian Nurses

Association, we have been advocating strongly for more integrated health-care systems. When we think of improving home care for seniors, providing better palliative care in

the wake of the introduction of medical assistance in dying, or other aspects of care, nurses play a vital role to ensure that our health system remains universally accessible to all Canadians.” In addition to giving people the opportunity to recognize outstanding nurses in the system, Sutherland added that it’s also a great opportunity for people to clear up misconceptions about the profession. “Generally speaking, a lot of people don’t know all the places that nurses work and what nurses can do,” she added. “Nurses work in a wide range of roles, including clinical care, research, administration, education and policy. Nurses help to inform, develop and implement innovative programs to deliver care to the most vulnerable Canadians. While people generally know nurses to be caring, they may not know that that care is more than just compassion. It is education, expertise, knowledge, and leadership that helps to improve health outcomes for Canadians. “National nursing week is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the unnoticed roles nurses play in our health care system. This week gives all Canadian nurses a great opportunity to be recognized for everything they do.” For more information on National Nurses Week, please visit cna-aiic.ca or follow the Twitter hashtag #NNW2016.

Nurses using new tech in the field Jennifer Taplin Not only do nursing students need to be comfortable with all the latest technology they’ll use in the field, there are also some amazing high-tech gadgets which help them learn to treat real-live patients. The University of Calgary uses both high and low tech hospitallike simulations. “Students can get some experience of what it’s like to make real-life clinical decisions in a safe environment,” said Graham McCaffrey, assistant professor at the University of Calgary. The low-tech method uses wellversed actors who pretend to be patients. “Then there are highly technological ways of doing that like for example in our simulation suite we have high-tech mannequins,” he said. Imagine a mannequin set up in a mock-up of a hospital room with an instructor observing be-

hind a one-way mirror. The instructor can speak through the mannequin and give it symptoms. “They can manipulate things like the blood pressure readings so the student can take a blood pressure reading. They can make the patient crash if they want to.” It’s a way for students to be pushed to make real-time decisions in a safe environment where the patient won’t die, McCaffrey said. They use these high-tech mannequins at Bow Valley College too. Nora MacLachlan, dean of the School of Health and Wellness at Bow Valley College, said the mannequins produce tears, have a pulse, and breathe. Technology in the field is constantly changing so the college upgrades throughout the school year, she said. “Just to keep up with the external environment, we change as quickly as we can based on what our advisory committee gives us,” MacLachlan said. But technology doesn’t replace excellent communication skills, she said.

Special report: National nursing week Data

Electronic health records now the norm

app for that Student nurses use apps which provide information on medications, nursing practice guidelines and best practices. But nurses can’t rely on their phones too much, McCaffrey said. In Alberta, for example, they’re not allowed to use smart phones in clinical areas. “Those concerns are confidentiality and privacy but I think our job is to teach the responsible use of technology because there is so much positive potential,” he said.

“On top of the technology, we work on the communication skills to build those great leaders in health care.” McCaffrey said the level of technology students will use postgraduation depends on their specialties. Mental health, which is McCaffrey’s specialty, is fairly low-tech but ICU nurse will be confronted with a lot of tech.

High-tech gadgets help nurses learn to treat real-live patients. Istock

Inputting patient information takes up a significant chunk of a nurse’s day. It’s called informatics and across the country electronic health records are rapidly becoming the norm. “We’re implementing patient information systems in hospitals, health regions and home care,” said Kathryn Hannah, health informatics advisor to the Canadian Nurses Association. “Nursing, in many cases, is the first point of contact for patients with all of this documentation and data capture.” But the problem is the emphasis is on collecting data rather than its use, Hannah said. Nurses spend a lot of time collecting this information for other departments but not to help them in their own jobs. “Nursing is more than just doing tasks, it’s about using knowledge and making decisions for patients and to do that you need information,” Hannah said. “The technology is beginning to change so the information that is gathered is of relevance to nursing.” Nursing needs to be relevant in health care records beyond just merely being part of the “hotel cost” of hospitalization, she said.

Letting RNs prescribe medicine Patient care

Role of nurses expanding as protocols are reviewed Jennifer Taplin Giving registered nurses the ability to prescribe medications is something every province and territory is looking into. Generally only nurse practitioners and doctors are allowed to prescribe medications and order diagnostic tests. Josette Roussel, senior nurse adviser at the Canadian Nurses Association, said expanding the roles of RNs would mean a broader access to care and more timely care for patients. In some jurisdictions, RNs can dispense medication under specific protocols (medical directives) and under specific situations.

In January, Quebec started allowing RNs to prescribe under protocols for specific areas like wound care, public health and for common conditions. In British Columbia, there is an authorized practice for RNs to dispense medication for specific areas like birth control, sexually transmitted infections and in remote practices. “In Alberta they are initiating and developing standards for registered nurse prescribing. It’s not currently in place or implemented but they are working on standards,” Roussel said. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are also exploring enabling legislation with variations, Roussel said. Manitoba is using the words “authorized prescriber” in settings like public health and primary care, and Saskatchewan is looking at an authorized practice model like in B.C. “Ontario has had more of an in-depth assessment study,” she said. In March a report on the issue by the Health Profes-

In British Columbia, nurses can prescribe medicine for things like birth control and sexually transmitted infections. Istock

sions Regulatory Advisory Council was submitted to the province, which is considering legislation.

In Alberta they are initiating and developing standards for registered nurse prescribing. It’s not currently in place or implemented but they are working on standards.

In Atlantic Canada there have been discussions with provincial governments, but no prescribing activities are in place, Roussel said. “And in the northern territories, some RNs can prescribe but it’s under protocols in specific rural areas.” Across the board there is

one common element: RNs would take specific training before being allowed to prescribe. Theresa Agnew executive director of the Nurse Practitioners Association of Ontario, said it’s not a question of if RNs should prescribe, but how.

“The line in the sand we draw in Ontario is really simple: if you have a diagnosis, then an RN should, through a protocol, be able to prescribe,” she said. “If the diagnosis has not yet been established or is unclear, then the RNs don’t have the education to make the diagnosis and prescribe.” Nurse practitioners are RNs with several years experience, a masters degree, and have passed an exam. They can order lab and diagnostic tests, prescribe medication and in some provinces, admit and treat patients in hospital.

Jonas Valanciunas, who’s been so big for Toronto in the postseason, was on his way to what might have been one of the biggest games of his career Saturday night when he crumpled to the floor in agony. The Raptors are about to find out just how big he was. Valanciunas has been ruled out for the remainder of the Eastern Conference semifinal against the Miami Heat with a sprained ankle. “Big, big, big, big, big blow for us,” Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri said Sunday. “Big blow for JV ...

Tampa Bay takes care of New York in five games Victor Hedman and Ben Bishop lifted the Tampa Bay Lightning into the Eastern Conference final for the second straight year. Hedman scored twice and Bishop stopped 28 shots Sunday, helping the defending conference champions beat the New York Islanders 4-0 and end their second-round playoff series in five games. The Lightning advanced by winning four straight after dropping the series opener at home. They also eliminated Detroit in five games in the opening round, making them 2-0 in close-out situations this post-season. “I think we learned last year we had a couple of series where we had chances to close (opponents) out at home and we kind of let them slip,” Bishop said. “We really wanted to take pride in closing teams out this year.” Hedman scored an unassisted goal from the slot at 13:49 of the first period, then beat Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss again on a second-period power play that gave Tampa Bay a three-goal lead. “Brutal.

it’s over,” Islanders captain John Tavares said. “You put a lot into this and we didn’t accomplish

what we set out to do.” Nikita Kucherov and Brian Boyle also scored for the Lightning, who will face either the Pittsburgh Penguins or Washington Capitals in the East final. The Penguins lead that series 3-2, with Game 6 Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. “Back to back, it’s pretty impressive what our guys have done,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. “Once you get there, you want to get back. I’m really impressed with our drive. We didn’t play perfect playoff

games every time, but we’re getting contributions from everybody in the lineup. If you want to win, you need that.” The six-foot-seven Bishop earned his fifth career playoff shutout, fourth in the deciding game of a series. He blanked Detroit 1-0 in Game 5 to end that first-round matchup and won two Game 7s without allowing a goal to help Tampa Bay reach the Stanley Cup final last year. The loss ended New York’s deepest playoff run since 1993.

Cavs complete sweep Kevin Love scored 27 points, LeBron James hit a huge shot with 39.2 seconds to go and the Cleveland Cavaliers finished off their second straight playoff sweep, beating the Atlanta Hawks 100-99 Sunday to advance to the Eastern Conference final. The Cavaliers, who opened the playoffs with four straight wins over Detroit, made short work of the Hawks too in a series that mirrored last year’s East final. The Associated Press

Sens fill coaching vacancy Guy Boucher is the new head coach of the Ottawa Senators. The 44-year-old Boucher was announced as the 12th head coach in Senators franchise history on Sunday, replacing Dave Cameron, who was fired on April 12. Boucher has spent parts of the last three seasons as the head coach of SC Bern of the National League A in Switzerland. Before that, he spent two-plus seasons as the head coach of the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, posting a 97-78-20 record in 195 games. The Canadian Press

World hockey championship

Canada satisfies its appetite for goals against Hungary Canada routed Hungary 7-1 at the world championship on Sunday for its second win of the tournament. After ending the first period ahead 2-1, Canada took total control in the second with four straight goals in less than six minutes against a Hungarian team that has no NHL players and is only in its second world championship since 1939. After the first period, “we knew we had to be a little bit better, a little bit sharper with the puck,” Canada captain Corey Perry said. “We talked about it

each and every game, getting better in every period of every game, and I thought we did that in the second and third.” Seven players scored Canada’s goals, with Brad Marchand scoring his second goal of the tournament. “It’s definitely something that we enjoy seeing, all four lines getting in on the action,” Perry said. The win follows an opening 5-1 victory over the U.S. and puts Canada at the top of the standings in the St. Petersburg group for the preliminary round.

Finland is also 2-0 for the tournament after it beat Germany 5-1, with two goals and an assist for highly rated 18-yearold Patrik Laine, who is widely expected to be the No. 2 NHL draft pick next month behind American Auston Matthews. The U.S. plays Finland on

Monday, coming off Friday’s loss to Canada and a 6-3 win over Belarus on Saturday. While there’s no personal rivalry with Matthews, who scored two goals for the U.S. against Belarus, Laine is aiming to beat him to the No. 1 draft spot. “The people in the stands can think about those things, I just want to play hockey,” Laine said. “Of course I want to prove to everybody that I can play at this level, like this, against those top countries, and of course I want to be the top pick.” The Associated Press

No offence, Estrada MLB

Without run support, Jays’ starter is winless in five The Toronto Blue Jays wasted another strong start for Marco Estrada. The right-hander was hurt by poor run support — again. Estrada pitched seven innings of one-run ball in Toronto’s 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Howie Kendrick hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning for Los Angeles.

The late rally spoiled another strong outing by Estrada, who held the Dodgers hitless through five innings but now remains winless in five outings. He allowed three hits, struck out eight and walked two. “He did a hell of a job,” Blue

Jays manager John Gibbons said. Toronto has scored six runs for Estrada over the course of his winless stretch. Estrada’s past three starts have come at home, where Toronto has failed to score more than two runs in five of its past 10 games. It is 0-5 in those contests. “These things happen,” Estrada said. “Hopefully it doesn’t last very long with anybody. Hopefully we can all turn things around and play as a group, play together, because this team is way too good not to.” Blue Jays relievers have a major league-worst 10 losses this season.

RECIPE Niçoise Sandwich photo: Maya Visnyei

Ceri Marsh & Laura Keogh

For Metro Canada Kick off the week with a picnic-style sandwich. Then invite some people over because it makes a lot! Ready in Ready in: 1 hour Serves: 6 to 8 Ingredients • 1 rustic loaf of bread • 2 x 7 oz cans of tuna • 3 hard boiled eggs • 1/4 English cucumber, sliced • handful fresh basil • 3 Tbsp olive oil • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard • 1 or 2 Tbsp black olive tapenade Directions 1. Whisk together oil, vinegar and mustard until you have a smooth dressing. Drain your tuna well and place it in a bowl. Add 2 table-

spoons of the dressing to the tuna and mash it up with a fork and mix well. Toss the sliced cucumber in the remaining tablespoon of dressing and give it a stir. 2. Cut the loaf of bread horizontally and use your fingers to pinch out a good bit (about a cup) of the soft bread inside. Spread a thin layer of tapenade on piece of bread. Place a layer of basil leaves, followed by a layer of sliced egg. Now use a spoon to mound the tuna next. Follow with a layer of sliced cucumber. 3. Place the top of the bread and press down gently. Wrap the whole sandwich in plastic. Put it on a plate and weigh it down with something. Put the whole works in the fridge for at least an hour or over night so the flavours combine and the sandwich is easier to slice. for more meal ideas, VISIT sweetpotatochronicles.com
