Some Halifax parents expressed concern about the potential closing of a north-end school at a public meeting Tuesday night. Recommendations from a Halifax Regional School Board committee include a new consolidated junior high school as well as renovations to three existing schools. But the suggestion that Oxford School close proved controversial. “I think it would be a huge loss. It’s centrally located,” Colin Gillis, who has two sons attending Oxford, said at the gathering hosted at Citadel High School by the School Options Committee.

“It’s an ideal school to be a hub school,” Gillis said. This was the third session, as well as the public’s last chance to chime in about the school for children in Grades Primary through 9 — and chime in, they did. Mention of the possible Oxford School closure was met with an audible “boo.” Tara Ibrahim, a parent of three, feels discussing infrastructure before programming is “putting the cart before the horse.” “The needs of the children and the education process and programming would dictate what buildings we have,” she said.
DEADLINE The committee is expected to submit final recommendations to the Halifax Regional School Board no later than July 4.

Festival puts local and international in spotlight Haley Ryan
Metro | Halifax In its 10th year, the Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival (HIFF) is bringing unique stories from Afghanistan to Cape Breton to the screen, while showcasing local artists. Martha Cooley, executive director of the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative, which produces HIFF, said the 10year milestone is exciting because it means you’ve “made it” as an event while still being young enough to continue refining what you are to the community. “It’s a much different sort of experience, going to the screening. It’s sort of a laid back setting; it’s not at the multiplex,” Cooley said Tuesday. The festival opens Wednesday and runs through Sunday, with most screenings in the North Street Church at the corner of Fuller

Baraki has madre himself available for a Q&A afterward.
“It’s sort of micro-budget but super-ambitious, so that should be really exciting.” Another highlight will be the documentary Don’t Blink: Robert Frank about the famed photographer, who lives parttime in Mabou, Cape Breton, Cooley said. Although Cooley said the past year has been an “emotional rollercoaster” with the province’s cut to the film tax credit and many Haligonians leaving to find work elsewhere, those still here are ready to make the best of the current situation. “Everything that happened … has actually made the community a lot stronger in a lot of ways because people came together to rally against those changes,” Cooley said. “Those that are still around I think are even more passionate, and even more committed to this province.”

An avid eBay bidder in Halifax has won a legal battle against Canada Post over a mangled Connor McDavid hockey card. Representing himself, David Wayne Clark told Nova Scotia small claims court he recently bought the Edmonton Oilers collectible in an online auction for $140 with plans to resell it for more than double that price. A week earlier, Clark had discovered his slot in his Spryfield community mailbox was insecure. He told the court he alerted Canada Post of the problem and was told his mail would be held at the main post office until the lock was fixed. Despite these assurances, Clark said, he periodically checked the mailbox. He testified mail was still being delivered to his box and some pieces were tampered with — including the valuable hockey card. “He says that he found the envelope containing the Connor McDavid card in his mailbox completely destroyed — ripped up,” adjudicator Eric Slone wrote in his opinion. “He was, of course, furious.” Slone awarded Clark the full amount for which he purchased the card plus potential profit, for a total of nearly $240. the canadian press
post-tropical storm
Colin set to hit us Zane Woodford
Metro | Halifax Environment Canada says PostTropical Storm Colin “will contribute to some heavy rain over parts of eastern Nova Scotia” on Wednesday and Thursday. The storm was downgraded to a post-tropical storm Tuesday afternoon, passing North Carolina with sustained winds of up to 95 kilometres per hour. Those winds won’t have much of an effect on Nova Scotia, according to Environment Canada, but heavy rainfall of up to 50 millimetres is expected in eastern parts of the province on Wednesday night, including Guysborough County, Richmond County, and Cape Breton County.

Campaign to turn church into community centre launched Yvette d’Entremont Metro | Halifax
For more than 200 years, a church and its steeple have served as a beacon for residents and visitors to the seaside village of Prospect.
A community group is now trying to keep the church and adjacent hall from being sold and potentially demolished. “We’ve heard stories from so many people who have memories of Prospect either summering in the village or they grew up there. And it all really revolves around the church,” Laura O’Hearn, president of the Prospect Old Church Association, said Tuesday. “Once you get to Prospect, you’ll see the church is the dominant structure, and outside the church it’s really just the houses that remain. All the stores are gone…. The church really re-

However, the group is optimistic. They have already received support locally and from as far away as Georgia and Texas. The association conducted a survey followed by a community
meeting in the fall of 2014 to determine what residents wanted. O’Hearn said they were enthusiastic about finding uses for the space that maintained the peacefulness of their small village. “Our primary interest is to hold community events, music events, community suppers,” O’Hearn said. “However, to make ends meet we will also need to rent out the space and we have heard from a number of groups that are interested in using the space for anything from yoga to research and even a music school.” “We’d also love to offer the occasional wedding and we’re
very excited to be able to open it up to groups of people who wouldn’t previously be able to get married in a beautiful little old Catholic church. There’s so much that we can do with this space.” The community’s first church was erected in 1794. It expanded over the years but was destroyed by fire in 1921. The current structure was built in 1922. “The church is a beacon and an icon and we want to preserve that and take stewardship for both historical reasons and the continued culture and health and vibrancy of our community,” O’Hearn said.

is basically to simulate an underwater ROV, or remotelyoperated vehicle, that would do tasks underwater,” said Colin Melia, the team’s in-
dustry mentor. In this case, the ROV was designed to explore Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons where there may or may not be water. Much of it was made from scratch, too, with students writing their own codes and then 3D-printing parts. “Last year, they needed a lot of help,” Melia said. “This year, the whole construction of the robot, they did with very little help.” Last year, the team won the Spirit and Determination Award, but at this year’s competition about six weeks ago, they took home the grand prize: a trip to Houston along with Melia, and their teacher, Jonah Scott, to compete against 35 other teams from 16 countries. “Since we all worked together on it for so long, it’s just very satisfying to

Brace for longer lines, flyers airports
Feds urged to boost funding for screening of passengers Canadians risk flight delays and even longer airport security lines unless Ottawa boosts screening funding to address growing passenger levels, industry experts are warning. “It is on the cusp of being a
real problem, with serious, serious delays,” says John Gibson, chairman of the Canadian Airports Council. Canadian airports aren’t currently facing the chronic disruptions that are increasingly angering U.S. passengers. Still, lines have steadily grown over the last few years as Canadian funding hasn’t kept pace with the 21 per cent increase in passenger growth over the last five years. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) says, on average, it screens 85 per cent
of passengers within 15 minutes. But waits can be much longer at some large airports during peak travel times, with additional pressure potentially coming during the rush of summer travel — and the number of passengers is growing by 3.5 per cent each year. If nothing is done to address the bigger volumes, Gibson said, passenger waits could regularly reach an hour. The number of security screeners has in the past fluctuated depending on the size of govern-

Clinton eyes general election as presumptive nominee Already the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton sailed to victory in Tuesday’s primary in New Jersey, one of six states voting across the country. Rival Bernie Sanders hoped a strong showing in California, the night’s biggest prize, would raise doubts about Clinton’s historic achievement and spur superdelegate to rally around him instead. Donald Trump won Republican primaries in New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota, capping an otherwise difficult day for the presumptive GOP nominee. Party leaders recoiled at Trump’s comments about a Hispanic judge, with one senator even pulling his endorsement. Trump was conciliatory at his victory rally, saying he understands “the responsibility” of leading the Republican Party. He also made a direct appeal to dejected Sanders supporters and other Democrats. “This election isn’t about Republican or Democrat, it’s about who runs this country: the special interests or the people,” he said. Clinton’s win in New Jersey came a day after she secured the 2,383 delegates she needed to become first female pre-

sumptive nominee of a major political party, according to an Associated Press tally. Her total includes pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as superdelegates — the party officials and officeholders who can back a candidate of their choosing. “To every little girl who dreams big: Yes, you can be anything you want-even president. Tonight is for you,” Clinton wrote on Twitter shortly after she won New Jersey. “We are at the brink of a historic, historic unprecedented moment,” she said during a rally
in California on Monday. Sanders picked up a win in North Dakota, where a handful of delegates were up for grabs. Montana was also holding a primary Tuesday. Clinton was waiting until most of the voting was complete before fully reveling in becoming the first woman nominated by a major U.S. political party. Still, she was wasting no time moving toward the general election.

ment funding. More than 6,000 agents screened 58 million passengers last year. The agency says it’s doing the best it can with the resources it’s provided by the government. An extra $29 million in the Liberal government’s first budget will help to maintain the current threshold this year. “Based on the long-term funding that we have right now, if we don’t get additional funding then, yes (lines will be longer),” said spokesman Mathieu Larocque. the canadian press

The dead were seven police officers and four civilians. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The federal government’s proposed new law on medically assisted dying is entering uncharted parliamentary waters, where the only certainty seems to be that it will not come out in the same shape in which it goes in. Final debate on Bill C-14 begins Wednesday in the Senate, where the government no longer has any control over independent-minded, less-partisan senators who appear determined to amend the controversial legislation. Among other things, senators are likely to amend the bill to ensure that all grievously ill Canadians are entitled to an assisted death, not just those who are near death. But no one knows what will happen if the government, which has rejected any substantive amendments thus far, refuses to accept Senate amendments. Will senators acquiesce? Will they fight to defeat the bill? “I don’t know — that’s the simplest answer,” said Sen. George Baker, who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate. the canadian press
Brock Turner
Stanford defends its handling of assault Stanford University “did everything within its power” to ensure justice in the case of a former swimmer sentenced to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, saying it moved swiftly to investigate and punish the student but that more needs to be done at the school and elsewhere to end sexual violence. The university banned Brock Turner from campus after wrapping up its investigation less than two weeks after the attack, calling it “the harshest sanction that a university can impose on a student,” according to a statement released Monday. The school says it reached out to the victim to offer support and inform her of the steps it was taking. “In this case, Stanford University, its students, its police and its staff members did everything they could,” the statement said, adding that it was proud of two students who stopped the January 2015 assault. Carl-Fredrik Arndt tells CBS News that he and his friend happened to ride by on bicycles and saw Turner “aggressively thrusting his hips into her.” He said the woman was unconscious the entire time because

he checked her and she “didn’t move at all.” “The guy stood up then we saw she wasn’t moving still. So we called him out on it. And the guy ran away, my friend Peter chased after him,” Arndt said. The 20-year-old Turner was sentenced last week to six months in jail and three years’ probation, sparking outrage from critics who say Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky was too lenient on a privileged athlete from a top-tier swimming program. Some are urging he be removed from the bench. the associated press

Universities revamp menus health
Food providers
pressured to offer fresher meal options
Jaco Lokker, executive chef and director of culinary operations at the University of Toronto. The university’s downtown campus will start running most of its on-campus dining options itself to satisfy a growing appetite for fresh meals. Eduardo Lima/the canadian press
Students want healthier meals, and Canadian universities seems to be listening. The University of Toronto’s downtown campus will cut ties with its food service provider, Aramark, this summer and start running most of its on-campus dining options itself. It’s the latest school to satisfy what appears to be an appetite for fresh meals. It will centralize most food operations and see a main kitchen provide fresh food to some retail outlets that rely heavily on packaged food, said Anne Macdonald, the university’s director of ancillary services. Chefs, for example, will cook soups and sauces from scratch

Calls for support from feds growing Proponents of natural gas-fuelled vehicles say they can help reduce carbon emissions now but government support is needed to get businesses on board. The alternative fuel has been around for decades but new technology developments and greater awareness of the need
to bring down emissions has led to heightened interest, said Bruce Winchester, executive director of the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance. Like most alternative fuels, natural gas still only makes up a small fraction of the fuel powering all vehicles on the road. But
Winchester said he sees potential for growth in medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles. “You’re going to get bigger emissions savings when you look at an application that requires a lot of kilometres and therefore a lot of fuel burned,” he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

instead of ordering from a production facility, Macdonald said. Such changes were called for by students, faculty and staff in focus groups, she said. “This is the voice of the students,” said chef Joshna Maharaj, who consults with universities and colleges on menu changes. “They are increasingly dissatisfied — as they should be — with really highly processed foods and a campus food service that is sort of an irritating afterthought.” Last year, the Canadian Federation of Students voiced concern over the quality of campus food across Canada after images surfaced of raw meat and mouldy food served at Memorial University in St. John’s, N.L.

voiced their desire for healthier options and local ingredients when the University of Lethbridge debated whether to renew Sodexo’s contract in 2012, said James Booth, executive director of ancillary services at the school. “They’re much more astute consumers and they have more refined needs,” he said. Booth compared the evolution of menu offerings to that of residence amenities. Twenty-five years ago, students lived in basic dormitories, he said. “Today they have granite countertops, and they have flatscreen TVs and Wi-Fi and Netflix,” he said. “You have to keep up.” Maharaj said it’s important for food service providers to be open to working with their clients to figure out how to better serve their needs. “I think that they really could be allies and change agents, if we position them well and support them and ask them to do these different things.”

IN BRIEF CRTC stifles competition, says Maxime Bernier The CRTC has discouraged competition in the telecommunications sector and should have a far diminished authority over the industry, Conservative leadership candidate Maxime Bernier said Tuesday. The CRTC has stifled competition with some of its decisions, he said, citing as an example the regulator’s ruling last year that requires major Internet service providers to sell space on their highspeed infrastructure to smaller rivals at wholesale prices. The CRTC said it had no comment on Bernier’s position. the canadian press Hudson’s Bay scores poorly on cotton-sourcing list A report released Tuesday ranking the world’s largest cotton consumers on the basis of their sourcing practices has put Canada’s oldest retailer, Hudson’s Bay Company, near the bottom of the list.

ON THE RETURN OF A RALLYING CRY
Rape culture was a slogan that undermined its cause by being too vague. But this week, Dan Turner, the father of sex offender Brock Turner, has upended all that. this weekend, after his son’s conviction on three charges of sexual assault and the ensuing light sentence, a mere six months in jail plus probation. Like his son, who has never admitted guilt, Turner senior shows zero recognition of the assault as such. He calls it the “unfortunate results” of campus binge drinking, deems it one of the “dangers... of sexual promiscuity.” There’s nary a whiff of culpability. That makes Turner the poster boy for rape-culturecondoning parents. Mashable’s Chris Taylor explained phenomenon well. “Rape culture is a thing…” he wrote to fellow fathers. “Any time you put the onus on our daughters — don’t wear that dress, don’t get drunk, don’t lead guys on — you’re perpetuating it. Any time you make a rape joke, you’re perpetuating it. And any time you miss an opportunity to educate our sons about the concept of consent … you’re perpetuating it.” Amazingly, Dan A. Turner not only thinks his son shouldn’t go to jail for ripping
“Rape culture” had become a barren phrase. Jargony and overused, chanted with abandon and often wielded with little insight, it had lately lost much of its meaning. Coined in the 1970s to describe how society implicitly condones sexual violence and blames victims, rape culture was the slogan that undermined its cause by being too vague. But this week, Dan Turner has upended all that. He has given rape culture, as shorthand, a second wind — and a snappy quote few will soon forget. Turner is the father of convicted sex offender Brock Turner. In front of a California courtroom, he dismissed his son’s groping, fingering, humping and undressing of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster as a mere “20 minutes of action.” And with that, “rape culture” is back in the discourse with renewed vengeance. Turner’s statement spawned stories and made headlines across international media when it hit Twitter

the underwear off a passedout woman and groping and fingering her, he thinks his son should educate other students about sex and booze on campus. Leslie Rasmussen, Brock’s friend, was more explicit in her plea to the judge: “Brock is not a monster,” she said in a statement. “Rape on campus isn’t always because people are rapists,” she added, ludicrously, explaining that Brock isn’t a real rapist because he didn’t kidnap his victim “as she is walking to her car in a parking lot.” The prosecutor was clearly expecting this kind of retrograde thinking when he told the jury during his closing arguments that Brock “may not look like a rapist,” being young, white and privileged, “but he is the face of campus sexual assault.” The need to make that statement is proof of rape culture’s existence. But it’s Turner, the father, who’s given it a new face. A close runner-up isn’t Rasmussen, but the judge. Judge Aaron Perksy clearly

felt sorry for the convicted All-American swimmer formerly of Stanford University, the judge’s own alma mater. In announcing a six-month sentence, compared to the six years requested by the prosecution, Perksy said Turner had “less moral culpability” because he was drunk and let him off easy because jail would be “severe.” For that, he’s earned infamy and more than 300,000 signatures on a petition demanding he be recalled. I hope it works. Rape culture persists when perpetrators — especially white, athletic, good-looking ones — receive kid-glove treatment from judges who follow the old adage “boys will be boys.” It endures while well-meaning people explain away the sexual violence of their loved ones. But thanks to Turner’s “20 minutes of action,” rape culture has also returned to prominence as a war cry. It’s been given new weight, and been rooted again in reality. The truth: A father excuses every assault when he excuses the one committed by his son.

and time in which he lived, not for the tremors that affected him later in life. Jon Collins, the organizer of the campaign, said the balloon challenge seemed to be relatable for all age groups for different reasons. He said the idea of doing something you want to tick off your bucket list would be a new way to engage younger people, particularly millennials. “This could be you, this could be me, at this exact stage in my life looking to raise a young family, working hard on my career and then (facing) a diagnosis that I was absolutely not expecting.” Though Parkinson’s affects everyone differently, some symptoms include tremors and problems with balance and motor skills. The invisible symptoms of the disease, from fatigue to sleep disorders to other mental health issues, are equally challenging but not as often talked about. That fact struck a chord with me. After enduring bouts with depression and still fighting with anxiety, I am familiar with what it means to suffer from symptoms that aren’t apparent to others. And having grappled with recent lifealtering issues arising from my weight, I understand what it means to feel like you are fighting your own body. I don’t want to be the sum of my medical issues. I used to think going up in a hot air balloon would be out of the question. But after this? Sign me up for the next challenge!

If you had asked me two years ago whether I would go for a ride in a hot air balloon, I would have laughed. But here I was, in Kitchener, Ont. at 5 a.m., listening to a pilot tell a group of soon-to-be passengers, myself included, how to brace for bumpy landing as we prepared to be lifted thousands of feet into the air. I was there to participate in Parkinson Canada’s Life Lists Challenge campaign where one could find themselves doing other bucket-list type things like skydiving and bungee jumping. Participants raised muchneeded money for research on a disease for which there is no known cure, for public education and to help support the more than 100,000 Canadians living with it. This event was unique, as you got to be inspired by a partner with Parkinson’s, putting a human face to the fundraising efforts. The world watched iconic figures like the late Muhammad Ali live with Parkinson’s, but not let it define them. Ali will be remembered for his accomplishments and his many contributions to the society

Your essential daily news As the days stretch toward summer solstice on June 20 and the weather starts making all of us sleepy, try adding a zip to your cooking with coffee. In addition to an extra caffeine hit, you’ll taste the warm, bitter aromas of coffee that go very well with some unlikely dishes. It’s already a given that coffee intensifies cocoa (try adding espresso powder to chocolate cake batter) and that it’s an essential ingredient in desserts like tiramisu, but consider the flavour profile of coffee: bitter, slightly acidic and earthy. Use it to balance out citrus and vinegary flavours; complement the smoky taste of smoked meats or grilled vegetables; contrast sugary desserts like ice cream and custards (affogato, anyone?); and enhance the nuttiness of caramels and brittles. Summer is all about grilling, citrus notes and using the oven as least as possible.
Wake up your cooking with coffee
Grilled Lime and Coffee Chicken Legs Lime marinades and coffee rubs are popular flavour choices for barbecues; try combining them for a complex, zesty way to flavour chicken legs. The tanginess of lime hits the tongue but then the bittersweet coffee-sugar rub starts to shine. (Makes 6 servings) Ingredients: • 1/4 cup (60 mL) fine coffee grounds
Coffee pairs surprisingly well with fresh salad vinaigrettes as well as the tanginess of limes when used as a rub for grilled chicken legs. torstar news service
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) salt • 2 tbsp (30 mL) sweet paprika • 2 tbsp (30 mL) brown sugar • 1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) black pepper • Juice and zest of 4 limes • 2 finely minced garlic cloves • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs, trimmed of excess fat and skin, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
• Chopped cilantro, for garnish • Lime slices, for garnish Directions: 1. In a large resealable plastic bag, add coffee, salt, paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, lime juice and zest and garlic. Massage bag to mix evenly. Add chicken, seal bag and massage to marinate chicken.
Refrigerate for minimum two hours or overnight. 2. When ready to cook, remove chicken from bag and brush off excess rubs. 3. If using a charcoal grill, arrange coals on one side of grill and bring to mediumhigh heat. If using a gas grill, turn off one burner after grill has reached medium-high

So long Lassie, hello baby Ella animals
Pet ‘parents’ taking a page out of human name books Erin Kobayashi
Special to Torstar In April, model Chrissy Teigen announced the birth of her daughter, Luna, with John Legend. I love the name Luna, it’s feminine, celestial and easy to pronounce in many languages. It’s also the name of my dog — because Luna is clearly a dog name. It’s an even better cat name (the Harry Potter and Sailor Moon reference became so popular that Toronto Cat Rescue advised fosters to stop naming their cats Luna). Or so I thought. I began thinking of Luna’s
canine playmates and the list sounded like a kindergarten attendance sheet: Sophia, Ella, Riley, Oliver and Jack, and noticed that the top licensed cat, and even more so, dog names seemed to be taking cues from BabyCenter.ca’s most popular baby names lists. When my friend revealed that Edith was the front-runner name for her baby, I could only think of an acquaintance’s hyperactive miniature pinscher-pug mix named Edith who appeared to run battery operated. Are the days of Fido and Lassie dog-gone? While traditional dog and cat names like Buddy and Coco still rank high among licensed pets, I’m guessing their owners may be mature in age. Let’s face it, you don’t have to be a spring chicken to become a pet “parent.” And I understand the appeal of modern baby names for dog owners because unlike cat owners, we are constantly addressing them

in public. In a 2011 poll by Purina Dog Chow, 90 per cent of owners considered their dogs members of the family, so it isn’t surprising pet owners are favouring trendy baby names since, culturally, they hold a special place in our hearts (and unique space in our homes). “Companion animals are not wild animals, nor are they domesticated in the sense of farm animals. So, we have pets, which are like mini-humans to us,” explains James K. Stanescu, a lecturer specializing in animal and environmental ethics in Philosophy at American University in Washington, D.C. According to the same 2011

survey, 40 per cent of owners refer to themselves as “mom” and “dad” to their canine companions and I have noticed that descriptors like “fur baby,” “practice baby,” “first born” and “the roommate” are widely used. “I think we have slowly tended to want to see pets as more of a member of the family,” says Stanescu, “We give them more human names, as opposed to the old nicknames
that we give to farm animals. But we also avoid calling them pets. “They are fur babies, roommates, etc. We are still trying to figure out what a pet is, as opposed to a wild animal or a farm animal, both of which are categories that go back thousands of years.” While Stanescu points out that giving names to animals helps us recognize them as individuals, calling them fur
babies and roommates is a stretch — considering our pets lack basic human rights. “I think we have hard ethical choices we have to make about what it means to live with other animals that we have complete control over,” Stanescu says. “I worry that calling them fur babies or children or roommates is a way of dodging this really complicated ethical activity.” torstar news service

No longer do you need a second set of eyes to check your trailer lights; the F-150 will do it for you. Need a buddy to hold a flashlight so you can work in the dark? Nope. The truck’s mirrormounted spotlights and bedmounted LED lights will take care of illuminating your work. Trying to back up a big trailer by yourself ? Ford’s new truck even makes that a breeze with almost no experience necessary. The truck can even give you a massage. Now, if only the F-150 could pick up the next round of beers, it might be an even better friend than most! Though its all-new aluminum body stole the headlines when the redesigned F-150 hit the market, the changes to this truck are more than just skin deep. And the strength of this package starts with the powertrain. Our test truck came equipped with Ford’s 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6, a turbocharged unit that is billed as a smaller and more economical option than the topdog 3.5-litre EcoBoost. It makes 325 hp, but burying the throttle launches the truck with much more force than the numbers suggest. In fact, gun to my head, I
might be hard pressed to tell you if it is the 2.7-litre or the 3.5-litre engine providing power when the trucks are unloaded. Besides being fast without a load, the turbos help to bring the torque on low in the rev range, providing good pulling power to get your trailer or payload on the move. The only downside to EcoBoost — and it has been since the first version of Ford’s turbocharged engines were introduced — is fuel economy. While the official ratings peg this truck at 8.1 km/L combined, seeing averages of closer to 7.2 km/L isn’t uncommon. What really stands out on the F-150 is its handling. More so than any other half-ton pickup truck, the F-150 corners nice and tight, feeling light on its feet. Big, heavy vehicles have a tendency to push wide through long sweeping corners, whereas the F-150 tucks in and urges you to keep on turning the wheel. If it was pickup truck day at the race track, the F-150 will most certainly provide the most fun and least understeer. For 2016, there is a new system that can’t be ignored; Pro Trailer Backup Assist. In short, the system allows you to control the movement of a trailer using a dash-mounted knob. And it works great. It takes the crossed wires out of reversing, with the left turn of the knob sending the rear of the trailer to the left. As my dad always told me, it’s better to work smart than work hard, and the F-150 is a genius when it comes to all those things that can make a hard day’s work breeze by.

Mooseheads rebound gets boost from draft day coup d’Êtat Kristen Lipscombe Metro | Halifax
They may have been the top two players selected in this year’s QMJHL Entry Draft, but don’t expect the next Jonathan Drouin and Nathan MacKinnon to be lacing up for the Halifax Mooseheads. The Herd picked forward Benoit-Olivier Groulx of Gatineau, Que., first and Nova Scotian defenceman Jared McIsaac second this past weekend in Charlottetown. But Brian Urquhart, the Mooseheads’ vice-presidentbusiness operations, said Monday the team’s “not making any comparisons� to when superstars MacKinnon and Drouin were drafted one and two respectively at the 2011 Q draft. That pair went on to lead Halifax to its firstever Memorial Cup. “There are some similarities,� he said. “It’s kind of going to be a

nice sheltered spot for these guys, because we’ll be able to surround them with other young talents,� Urquhart said. “The focus isn’t on one player, and I think that’s important, because a lot of fans forget these kids are ... 16 years old, so it’s a lot to handle, especially for a kid like Jared, who’s local.�
No. 1 and No. 2 picks BenoitOlivier Groulx, left, and Jared McIsaac. Hockey Canada
Groulx is former a product of the l’Intrepide de Gatineau, and McIsaac moved from Truro to Dartmouth to attend Maritime Hockey Academy and play for the Cole Harbour Wolfpack. The Mooseheads traded away the seventh, 16th and 24th overall picks this year and their top selection next
year to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies who originally had rights to the No. 2 selection. Similarly, the Moose also struck a deal for Halifax’s MacKinnon following the 2011 draft, trading two players and three first-round picks to the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. Mooseheads general manager Cam Russell said his scouts considered Groulx the “best forward� and McIsaac the “best defenceman� available this year. “It was a toss-up� whether the Herd would choose Groulx or McIsaac first right up until the deal for the two top picks was sealed, Russell said Tuesday. “You’ve got two extremely top-notch players; they’re easy to market,� Russell said. The Herd hope the draft day flourish will help reinvigorate their fan base following a season in which they finish 17th out of 18 teams and failed to make the playoffs. Russell called goaltender Alexis Gravel, also 16, of Augustin-de-Desmaures, Que., “another important selection.� Halifax picked him 20th overall, first in the second round Saturday. “Marketing aside, they’re just going to make the hockey team better,� Russell said.
in the stands Tickets might have been a tougher sell last season compared the glory years around the 2013 Memorial Cup win, but the lesser draw was no surprise to Brian Urquhart. “We’ve had some great players, some teams that have won a lot more games than they’ve lost, we’ve had some long playoff runs,� the vicepresident-business operations said Monday, adding the franchise was “certainly prepared� for the decline in crowd numbers during its recent rebuild phase. Last season’s Scotiabank Centre attendance average of 6,893 wasn’t far below the overall 22-year average for the Herd, Urquhart said. “We were fortunate enough to have the fan support that we did,� Urquhart said, pointing out the sell out in the final game of the season as a sign of fan loyalty. “The important thing is that you’re not down for too long. Fans are very excited to get going.� Kristen Lipscombe/Metro

After gaining viral Internet fame at a time when the phenomenon was still relatively new, Slice studied MMA and eventually competed for several promotions, including the UFC and Bellator, which staged his two most recent fights. While he went only 5-2 and never won a championship belt, the personable Slice became one of MMA’s best-known figures, attracting large television audiences and crowds to his growing sport. Slice is survived by six children, and he credited his MMA career for allowing him to send them to college. One of his three sons, Kevin Ferguson Jr., made his MMA debut in March.

‘Muhammad had no regrets about boxing’ Muhammad Ali and his family never seriously thought of donating his brain for research, according to his doctor. “Not really,” was Dr. Abe Lieberman’s answer when he was asked on Monday if submitting the brain for research was considered. Lieberman said he didn’t think boxing contributed to Ali contracting Parkinson’s disease but he couldn’t be “a hundred per cent” certain. The doctor said he did not
hear Ali blame boxing for his illness. “Muhammad had no regrets about boxing,” Lieberman said. “He didn’t realMuhammad ly talk about Ali Getty images it that way. Muhammad was a devout Muslim and believed that you did your best and whatever happened was God’s will.” The Associated Press

Crossword Canada Across and Down photo: Maya Visnyei
Ceri Marsh & Laura Keogh
For Metro Canada There is no better strategy to get dinner on the table than to cook everything together. It’s why we love a tray bake, especially this one since it delivers roasted flavor for the veggies and potatoes and flakey salmon. Ready in Prep time: 10 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients • 2 new potatoes • 3 Tbsp olive oil • 2 tsp fresh or dried thyme • Salt and pepper • 4 salmon filets • 1 bundle of asparagus, washed and trimmed • 20 cherry tomatoes • Big squeeze of lemon juice
Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. 2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. 3. Thinly slice potatoes and scatter them across baking sheet. Season with 2 tbsp of olive oil, pinch of salt, pepper and thyme. Place in oven for 15 minutes. 4. Remove tray from oven. Increase heat to 400 degrees. Lay the salmon filets over the potatoes and add the asparagus and tomatoes. Return to oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked. 5. Remove from oven. Squeeze lemon juice over the whole pan and serve. for more meal ideas, VISIT sweetpotatochronicles.com
