Mike Nickel shutting down ‘To the Point’ immediately Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton An Edmonton city councillor says he is “absolutely mortified” after a rape joke was posted to the Twitter account of a web show he moderates. Twitter users were fuming at Mike Nickel after a picture was posted from the To the Point account Sunday that depicted convicted rapist Brock Turner and accused rapist Bill Cosby peering over a sleeping Snow White. “That is obviously something I would never, ever be associated with,” Nickel said, speaking to Metro after he posted a lengthy apology on Facebook. “I did not post it, I did not authorize it. I won’t throw any-
body under the bus on this, but it has to be fixed.” The show has been on hiatus for the past six months. After the controversy, Nickel said Monday it won’t be coming back. The now-former show producer, Matthew Altheim, claimed full responsibility in a Facebook post Monday, saying it was posted by a member of the show’s social media team — which was assembled last week and consists of interns and volunteers — and that he made a mistake by not removing it. Brandy Burdeniuk, a businesswoman and community volunteer who lives in Nickel’s ward, said the post was shocking and disappointing. “It was such a stark image. It was so transparently making a joke about assaulting an unconscious female, which, from the perspective of what’s happening and the larger conversation around rape culture, is really disturbing to come from someone in leadership,” she said.

Fate of 45-storey tower on hold development
Councillors seek common ground on Emerald site Ryan Tumilty
Metro | Edmonton Councillors postponed a decision Monday on whether to approve a 45-storey tower in downtown Edmonton in the hopes of finding common ground between the developer, city planners and the community. The proposed Emerald Tower on Jasper Avenue at 114 Street has divided many. City administration expressed concerns the development is too large for the area, is not giving enough back to the community and included above-ground parking in a podium, which the city is eager to avoid. Mike Sacha, who spoke for the Oliver Community League, said the proposed building is too large and doesn’t offer the familyfriendly units people want. “We see this is a huge increase in density which has a related huge increase in demand on services,” he said. “We certainly recommend you send this back to administration and get all the kinks worked out.” Regency Developments, the developer, said pushing the hearing into the fall could delay the project, which they have been working on for two years. That could prevent them from
starting construction next year, they said. “We’re going to miss that target as well,” said Raj Dhunna, CEO of the company. Coun. Andrew Knack, one of the councillors who pushed for the two-week delay, said even if there is disagreement on the larger issues like parking and height, some of the minor concerns councillors must be resolved. “At a minimum we need to ensure we clean up the lack of detail that we should really expect,” he said. But Coun. Tony Caterina said there had already been enough delays. “We’re going to be here in two weeks going over the same stuff again and after two years I think that’s enough time.” Coun. Scott McKeen, in whose ward the building is proposed, believes the delay was a distraction and council should have sent the project back to make the overall design better. “Designing a good building and running it through all the approvals takes time,” he said. He said Edmonton has to get a building in such an important location right. “The foremost issue in our minds should be is this a great building that is being designed for Edmonton’s main street,” he said. “There is nothing wrong with raising the bar on design. We have seen good design in this city and we should not be going backward.” RIGHT: A sample of some of the standout skyscraper projects in our city.

The Pearl
Jasper House
Stantec Tower
Owned by the same company proposing to build the Emerald tower, The Pearl, which opened in 2014 stands out along Jasper Avenue for its 35-storey height.
First announced in 2014, Jasper House is one of two condo towers planned by Toronto “condo king” Brad Lamb.
The 62-storey Stantec Tower will make much of Edmonton’s other 20-something storey towers seem diminutive when it opens in 2018.
The tower was once the site of a base jump with parachuters trespassing onto the building and making a dramatic leap into the valley below.
The project on 106th Street, just north of Jasper Avenue, was announced as a 35-storey tower complete with a rooftop pool. No opening date for the project has been set.
The building will be one of the largest towers in Western Canada and will feature the company’s office on the bottom half and condo units on the top.

Drainage proposal leaves council with questions Ryan Tumilty
Metro | Edmonton EPCOR’s proposal to take the drainage system off the city’s books is leaving councillors with more questions than answers. Council will consider a proposal from EPCOR to take over the city’s drainage utility Tuesday, which would begin with an independent review of the proposed deal, before council
makes any kind of final decision. The move would transfer about $447 million in debt off the city’s books and onto EPCOR’s. The company, which is 100 per cent owned by the city, has also committed to taking on the $1.5 billion the city estimates it would have to complete drainage upgrades over the next decade. EPCOR would be limited to three per cent increases for the next five years to customers and estimates the dividend it pays the city every year would rise
by $20 million. The city has estimated that protecting the city from flooding could cost $2.4 billion over the longer term. EPCOR spokesperson Tim le Riche said the exact details would be figured out if council wants to review the proposal. “Then we can do a deeper dive and then all of those questions that reporters and other people are asking can be answered,” he said. Coun. Mike Nickel said he’s
not sure the utility could actually provide any more value. “I have no real cost comparators between EPCOR’s performance and the City of Edmonton’s performance,” he said. Coun. Mike Walters said he has many questions as well, but his primary focus is ensuring the city has adequate drainage infrastructure. “The end game is that we have resilient responsive and adequate infrastructure to keep our houses from flooding.”

A LEADING POLYTECHNIC COMMITTED TO STUDENT SUCCESS
Orlando shooter’s links to G4S orlando tragedy
Security firm also employed Travis Baumgartner The suspect in Sunday’s massacre at a gay Orlando club worked for the same company as a man who killed three people in Edmonton while on the job in 2012. Omar Mateen was employed by London-based G4S as a security guard in Florida when he went on a killing spree Sunday morning at Pulse nightclub, leaving 49 people dead and more than 50 wounded. Almost exactly four years earlier, on June 15, 2012, Travis Baumgartner was with four G4S co-workers servicing an ATM at the University of Alberta’s Hub Mall when he turned a gun on them. Michelle Shegelski, 26, Brian Ilesic, 35, and Eddie Rejano, 39, were killed, while Matt Schuman was seriously injured. Baumgartner pleaded guilty to one count of first-
degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 40 years. A spokesperson for the company’s Canadian arm has defended its practices, saying G4S does as much as it can to investigate prospective employees before hiring them, using both government and its own checks for screening. Since the Hub Mall shooting, G4S sold its Canadian armoured car division, which required staff to be armed, to Montreal-based GardaWorld. Its 9,000 Canadian employees are now unarmed, though American G4S employees do carry firearms at times. The company’s shares fell Monday after it emerged that Mateen worked for G4S. Alberta security licensing requirements, posted on the government’s website, include having no outstanding criminal charges, no serious criminal record for which a pardon has not been granted and not being the subject of a criminal investigation. metro with files from the canadian press

Rethinking risk When a gunman walked into Orlando’s Pulse nightclub Sunday and killed 49, wounding many more, he shattered the sense of security of many in LGBTQ communities. For those too young to remember cases such as that of Matthew Shepard, a student tortured and left to die in Wyoming in 1998, it was a first taste of homophobic violence close to home. We asked members of Edmonton’s LGBTQ community to reflect on security in the wake of Orlando.
When Matthew Shepard was murdered, the talk about violence against LGBT people was everywhere. But this is 18 years later. Is it better? No. Fifty people just got murdered. We’re not challenging homophobia when we see it, we’re still not speaking out.… Not enough change has happened, or Orlando would not have occurred.
MICKEY WILSON Executive director, Pride Centre of Edmonton Metro file
Competing perspectives around Pride really seemed to come to a head this year: Those who think Pride still needs to be political and address the continued inequity faced by members of the LGBTQ community … and those who respond with a ‘Lighten up!’ (and) who just think Pride should be a fun time. That’s why I think Orlando is such a wake-up call.

This has hugely affected young people. They haven’t had anything remotely similar to this since before I was born. I had my friends texting me; they’re freaking out. They’re like, ‘Wow, this stuff still happens.’ A lot of them just don’t feel safe now…. If it can happen in a place that was designed to be safe for LGBTQ people, then what is safe?

There’s more to a kiss than you think. In light of the worst mass shooting in modern American history at a popular Orlando gay nightclub, a Calgary artist has launched a campaign to show that love is love. Steve Gin, who’s curating the Kiss for Orlando project with Loft 112, was rattled by the Sunday morning shooting that killed 49 people, so he decided to fight hate with love. He said the project was inspired by Andy Warhol’s film, KISS, which explored the smooches of straight and LGBTQ people in the ’60s. “(Kisses) cross the boundaries of sexual orientation, gender and race, and it’s a beautiful exploration of love,” he said. “So I thought this could be an interesting way to stand up to the notion that two people expressing any kind of ‘forbidden’ love is somehow bad.” Gin, who won a human-rights case after he was fired for marry-

ing his partner, said he thinks people become lulled into a sense of security, where the world is free of homophobia. “I think that there is still some oppression, but it’s just gone underground,” he said. “We’re not totally free across the world.” He said the photos will be featured as an online exhibit but, if all goes well, he plans to make printouts and launch a show. “We should not have any fear in expressing love,” Gin said. “We should not have any shame or use it as any excuse for violence. “Love is love is love is love is love.” He said all are welcome to submit their best smooches. “It can be a gay couple kissing, a two-spirit couple kissing or maybe even a straight cisgender person who wants to kiss your best queer friend,” he said. “It’s an expression of love. It’s an expression of humanity and possibility.” If you’re interested in puckering up with your mate, post it to the Kiss for Orlando Facebook page.

Woman, friend survive crash at mall unhurt Alex Boyd
Metro | Edmonton A woman who drove an SUV off the second floor of the parkade at Londonderry Mall on Monday afternoon walked away almost unscathed, along with her passenger. At about 1 p.m., a Kia Forte plunged through a metal fence
and fell to the parking lot below, ending up on its roof. Firefighters cut the passengers out using the Jaws of Life. The two women, aged 31 and 35, were taken to hospital as a precaution but sustained no serious injuries, according to police spokeswoman Cheryl Sheppard. She said it appears to have been an accident. “It looks like it was just a case of pushing the gas instead of the brakes to get into a parking spot,” she said. She added that drugs and alcohol were not a factor. “It’s quite the spectacle, but glad they’re safe and okay.”

Dear Tim Hortons: Where are the women? A proposal to create a formal diversity policy at the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King aimed at increasing the number of women on its all-male board of directors has been rejected. Oceanrock Investments Inc. and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) asked the company to write a formal diversity policy and inform shareholders how and when it intends to increase the number of women on its board of directors and in senior management positions. Oceanrock Investments, which said it owns nearly 19,000 RBI shares, acted on behalf of the Meritas Jantzi social index fund. Before Tim Hortons and Burger King merged and became RBI in late 2014, a quarter of the Tim Hortons board was comprised of women, according to the shareholder proposal. Now RBI’s 11-person board of directors is all male. The proposal asked RBI to complete the policy and update shareholders by December 2016. While there are many benefits to increasing gender diversity on corporate boards, including the potential for better shareholder returns, that

New money for mental health Attawapiskat Chief Bruce Shisheesh met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa on Monday weeks after the northern Ontario reserve’s youth suicide crisis garnered global attention. The federal government also timed an announcement to coincide with the meeting — $69 million over the next three years for indigenous mental health services — though a detailed breakdown of the spending was not provided by the Prime Minister’s Office. “This is the beginning of a new era, not just for Attawapiskat but for relationships with First Nations across the country,” Trudeau said on his way out of the two-hour meeting on Parliament Hill. During the discussion, the prime minister committed to fast-tracking new land for Attawapiskat in partnership with the province of Ontario, Shisheesh said. This will be key as the reserve looks at additional housing, he noted. “Finally, we have a solid agreement to sit down in a practical way of solving housing, infrastructure,” Shisheesh said, adding his reserve is still struggling with youth mental health and overcrowding issues.

who also participated in Monday’s discussion, called it a “good meeting.” “We will just keep building and building and building,” Bellegarde said, noting it will be the job of indigenous leaders to apply pressure on the government for additional funding in future budgets. “That’s really what it is ... investing in human capital,” he said. Dollars unveiled Monday are designed to help communities tackle urgent mental health

needs while the government works with indigenous leaders to negotiate a new health accord, said Health Minister Jane Philpott. “It is an immediate step, it won’t solve everything but this is an important step along the way,” Philpott said. The commitment includes providing four crisis response teams in Ontario, Manitoba and Nunavut — identified as having the greatest need — as well as 32 additional mental wellness teams. the canadian press

wasn’t the sole reason for the proposal, Fred Pinto, OceanRock Investment’s CEO, said while presenting the proposal at the company’s annual general meeting on Thursday. “We did this quite simply because it’s the right thing to do,” he said. Other shareholders voted to reject the proposal. The result wasn’t unexpected, Pinto said in an interview following the vote. The group will now wait to see how many
independent shareholders supported their proposal as more detailed results are released in the next few days. The board had declined to make a recommendation on how shareholders should vote, but did amend its new director nomination process to consider diverse candidates in response to the proposal. These are more general steps, Pinto said, and he would like to see RBI take more specific action, including presenting a
timeline for gender diversity inclusion. Gender diversity on corporate boards in Canada has become a source of tension between shareholders and companies. BCE Inc.’s shareholders voted down a similar proposal at their annual general meeting earlier this year, and a Dollarama shareholder brought up concerns over the lack of women in leadership positions at that company’s meeting earlier this week.

Terrorist was ‘homegrown’ The gunman whose attack on a gay nightclub left 49 victims dead appears to have been a “homegrown extremist” who espoused support for a jumble of often-conflicting Islamic radical groups, the White House and the FBI said Monday. As Orlando mourned its dead with flowers, candles and vigils, counterterrorism investigators dug into t h e b a c k - Omar Meteen g r o u n d o f AFP/getty Images 29-year-old Omar Mateen for clues to why the American-born Muslim carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. “So far, we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network,” said FBI Director James Comey. But he said Mateen was clearly “radicalized.” Comey said the bureau is also trying to determine whether Mateen had recently scouted Disney World as a potential target. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trump, Clinton at odds over attack There is a political playbook for the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a leadership script born of wretched experience. Offer sombre thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families. Vow, resolute, to defeat the perpetrators and their ideology. Urge the public to remain united and unbowed. Advocate a few policy solutions. In the wake of the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, Hillary Clinton is sticking to routine. Donald Trump is not. Instead, the Republican nominee has offered a series of furious arguments and false accusations unlike anything else in the recent campaign history. Over the course of two days, Trump has called for the resignation of the president, insinuated the president is supportive of jihadists, and escalated his anti-Muslim rhetoric. Monday afternoon offered the sharpest contrast. Clinton, speaking in measured tones in Ohio, called for an intensification of the war in Syria, new gun control measures, bipartisan unity and respect for Muslims. “Inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric hurts the vast majority

of Muslims who love freedom and hate terror,” she said. Trump, in New Hampshire, spoke in the agitated voice of his early campaigning. After expressing condolences, he focused on immigration — specifically, on what he said was the threat posed by immigrants and refugees from Muslim countries. He did not stop there. In an ad-libbed comment that ranks among the starkest bigotry of his campaign, he baselessly accused U.S. Muslims of harbouring advance knowledge of the deadly plans of Omar Mateen. Trump reiterated his call for a ban on all foreign Muslims entering the country. He also went further, proposing a new ban on anyone from unspecified countries with a history of terrorism against the U.S. Clinton attempted to project calm but also toughness.

Remember their names
A gunman opened fire inside a crowded nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, leaving at least 49 people dead. Here are stories of some of the victims. Last Monday, Akyra Murray, who turned 18 in January, graduated third in her class of 42 students at West Catholic Preparatory High School in Philadelphia, where she had also been a 1,000-point scorer on the basketball team. “She was very loving, caring, out to help anybody,” her mother, Natalie Murray, recalled. To celebrate her graduation, Akyra, her parents and her 4-yearold sister travelled to Orlando for a family vacation. On Saturday, Murray told her parents she wanted to party in downtown Orlando. They dropped her off at Pulse at 11:30 Saturday night. At about 2 a.m., Akyra Murray sent a text message to her mother, saying that she and her cousins wanted to be picked up. She said there had been a shooting. Moments later, the phone rang. “She was saying she was shot and she was screaming, saying she was losing a lot of blood,” Natalie Murray said. Murray said her daughter was hiding in a bathroom stall, her arm bleeding for hours with no medical treatment. Mercedez Marisol Flores went to Pulse nightclub almost every
weekend, Flores’ sister-in-law said Monday, often with her best friend Amanda Alvear. Both women died in the shooting. “She was very outgoing,” Nancy Flores said of Mercedez Flores. “She had lots of friends. They used to always meet up at Pulse.” Born in Queens, N.Y., the 26-year-old Flores moved to Florida when she was a child, her sister-in-law said. She worked at Target and studied at Valencia College, a local community college. She wanted to become a party planner so she could coordinate events with her two older brothers, who are both DJs. Alvear, 25, had bonded with friend Sandy Marte over breakups and health problems. Marte said he was trying to comfort her after the breakup. She had lost a lot of weight following surgery and Marte encouraged her to socialize and enjoy life. “She was loving, she was caring, she always had an open ear,” Marte said of his friend Alvear. Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo wanted to be a star. The 20-year-old dancer was working at Starbucks while studying theatre, and would have auditioned on Tuesday for a play, said his sister,
Belinette Ocasio-Capo. Omar, as he was known to family and friends, seemed brash to 70-year-old Claudia Mason, who worked with him at Starbucks. But after getting to know her much younger co-worker, “I realized he had a very outgoing personality,” said Mason. “His sense of humour was definitely his defining personality trait.” Ocasio-Capo was hired as a cashier before moving over to the Starbucks, and became a great barista, Mason said. “Omar got along with everyone,” she said. Eddie Jamoldroy Justice tapped out a series of chilling text messages to his mother from a bathroom at the Orlando nightclub. The 45-minute exchange began with a message of love. “Mommy I love you,” the first message to Mina Justice said at 2:06 a.m. The messages stopped shortly after he confirmed to her that the shooter was nearby. Eddie Justice, 30, was normally a homebody who liked to eat and work out, his mother said. He liked to make everyone laugh. He worked as an accountant and lived in a condo in downtown Orlando.

Attack stirs communal fears The gay, lesbian and transgender community has seen violence before, from Harvey Milk to Matthew Shepard, and an ever-lengthening list of transgender women. But never anything like this. Sunday’s massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando grimly changed the equation, stirring communal fears and prompting tighter security at gay pride events. The gunman, identified as Omar Mateen of Fort Pierce, Florida, told his father he had
been disturbed by seeing two men kissing in Miami. The attack on the Pulse nightclub, which killed at least 50 people and was the deadliest U.S. mass shooting to date, occurred amid numerous events nationwide celebrating LGBT Pride Month. In several other cities hosting events on Sunday — including block parties in Boston and a festival in Washington — authorities beefed up the police presence.

Paris City Hall began paying respects in the afternoon with a display of American and rainbow flags, while French President Francois Hollande condemned the mass
killing as an attack on freedom. BRITAIN With tears, song and defiance, thousands of people gathered in London for a vigil in honour of the victims. Mourners packed narrow Old Compton St. in Soho, the heart of London’s gay nightlife district, on Monday evening. Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister David Cameron have sent messages of condolence. GERMANY German Chancellor Angela Merkel says it’s important to continue with “our open, tolerant life” following attacks such as the mass shooting at an Orlando gay club. MUSLIM NATIONS The world’s largest body of Muslim-majority nations condemned the mass shooting but also warned against “political campaigning and self-serving agendas” in the wake of the tragedy. The 57-nation Organ-
ization of Islamic Cooperation said in a statement Monday that “the massacre, as terrible as it is, must not be taken out of its context as a domestic American case.” ISRAEL Israeli President Reuven Rivlin says in a letter to President Barack Obama that Israel stands “shoulder to shoulder with our American brothers and sisters.” PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah says the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history is a “senseless act of terror and hate” and that “Palestinians stand with the American people in this difficult time.” RUSSIA People have been bringing flowers and rainbow flags to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to show their solidarity with victims of the shooting since early Monday.

Rosemary Westwood on the lessons of stanford
Schools must choose a side Any post-secondary institution that would prefer its name not become synonymous with ‘rape’ would do well to internalize what the Brock Turner sexual-assault case made abundantly clear: Universities have a responsibility not just to react to sexual violence but also to prevent it. To Michele Dauber, a law professor at Stanford University, Jane Doe is a new Rosa Parks. It’s a striking, possibly overreaching statement. But it sets the stakes now at play for universities in the starkest of terms: You are either on the right or the wrong side of fighting campus sexual violence, just as you were once (and remain) on the right or wrong side of fighting racism. Jane Doe is the victim in the Stanford sexual-assault case, which ignited international condemnation after her assailant, Brock Turner, was given a slight six-month jail sentence for crimes that might have earned him a maximum of 14 years. “We are at a real watershed moment in public perception of campus sexual assaults,” Dauber told The New York Times this week. At the centre: Jane Doe’s defiant courtroom statement, read aloud on newscasts, shared tens of millions of times online, quoted by the vicepresident of the United States and credited for igniting fierce conversation over consent and rape. In her letter, Jane Doe attacked Turner’s effort to scapegoat his behaviour on booze and partying. Through it, she refused to meekly accept her fate, Dauber suggests, just as Rosa Parks once refused to move from her seat on a bus. Canadian universities should take this new level of furor over sexual violence as a warning: Think
Canadian universities should be asking themselves how many Brock Turners are wandering their own campuses.
“Stanford,” and the next word that now comes to mind is “rape” — and your school could be next. Of course, they shouldn’t need the warning, but they also shouldn’t have needed provincial governments to force them to create dis-
tinct sexual-assault procedures. (Even back in 1993, one study found as many as one in four women are sexually assaulted at universities.) New bills passed in Ontario and B.C., as well as another introduced in
Manitoba, all require that campuses adopt standalone policies. Far too many need the push. Irene Shankar, a researcher at Mount Royal University, surveyed 103 English-language schools this spring and found that only 25 had policies. Some
Metro POLL
Was justice served at Stanford? Brock Turner’s six-month jail sentence — of which he’s expected to serve only half — has been called unfairly lenient, with many who object claiming that Turner’s being a white star athlete at a prestigious school saved him from spending far more time in jail. But we wanted to know what you think.
We asked: Is Brock Turner’s six-month sentence a sufficient punishment?
96%: NO
(1,217 votes) He got off way too easily in relation to the damage he inflicted on his victim. Others won’t be deterred. Rape is rape. Period. alcohol is no defence.
4%: YES
(49 votes) He’ll suffer in jail, and spending the rest of his life on the sex-offender registry will have major implications. It’s far past time we teach our little boys that they are not entitled to women.
He raped someone and is only getting a sixmonth sentence. Disgusting! Disgraceful!
Such a light sentence underscores the perceived value of men’s lives over a woman’s right to be safe.
His actions reflect a deeper psychological attitude of superiority. This behaviour was learned.
White privilege is real, and this is a sickening case of it.

schools, like the University of British Columbia, have been publicly shamed into instituting better practices over their poor handling of complaints. Effective policies to tackle the fallout of violence is one thing. Preventing assaults is quite another. In a recent case study of one anonymous Alberta campus, Shankar found the school paid so much lip service to fighting sexual violence, action got left behind. “It’s almost become this opting-out that universities use,” she told me. Schools will repeat how “complex” the problem is, which normalizes sexual violence and lets schools off the hook for solutions, she added. Until, of course, an attack makes international headlines. Stanford has defended its own conduct in the wake of the assault, noting there was “an immediate police investigation” (for which the school can’t actually claim any responsibility) and that “in less than two weeks after the incident, Stanford had conducted an investigation and banned Turner from setting foot on campus — as a student or otherwise.” Students, however, are not satisfied. There’s a petition calling for, among other things, the school to apologize to Jane Doe because the attack happened on its campus, increase funding for sexual-assault prevention and mandatory sexual-assault education for all students. Going by Stanford’s own data, those last two suggestions are needed. The school’s 2015 campus climate survey found that one-third of undergraduate women experienced nonconsensual sexual misconduct, “including acts ranging from sexual touching to penetration” (also known as rape).
The fact that students might get to university without a firm understanding of sexual assault mirrors Brock Turner’s own court statements. He blamed a culture of drinking and promiscuity for his action, apparently unable to separate sex from assault. It’s an explanation that excuses nothing, but one that should deeply worry college and university administrators. They should be asking themselves how many Brock Turners are wandering their own campuses. Taking swift action in the wake of assaults — with care for a victim and consequences for an abuser — is good policy, but it’s not perfect behaviour. The best way to avoid being Stanford isn’t to defend your actions after the fact. It’s to stop the violence in the first place.

A sonnet that soothed the world tony awards
at the show
Love is love is the line we need to keep repeating
Tonys a beacon of diversity For all the talk about diversity and inclusiveness this season (absent at the Oscars, present at the Tonys), nothing could beat one powerful image: All four of the musical acting winners at the Tonys were black actors. “It’s so diverse that Donald Trump has threatened to build a wall around this theatre,” said host James Corden, pictured below. Daveed Diggs won the award for featured actor in a musical for Hamilton, Cynthia Erivo won for leading actress in a musical for The Color Purple, Leslie Odom, Jr., won leading actor in a musical for Hamilton, and Renee Elise Goldsberry, pictured top inset, won the award for featured actress in a musical for Hamilton.
THE SHOW: The 70th Annual Tony Awards THE MOMENT: The sonnet
The evening was already emotional. Host James Corden kicked it off by acknowledging the mass shooting that had occurred early that morning in a gay nightclub in Orlando: “Theatre is a place where every race, creed and sexuality is equal, embraced and loved,” he said. Winners celebrated theatre’s inclusiveness in their acceptance speeches. Then Hamilton creator LinManuel Miranda won for Best Score and read a sonnet he’d just written. “Senseless acts of tragedy remind us, that nothing here is promised. Not one day,” he said. Emotion increasing, he continued, “We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger . . . hope and love last longer.” Voice breaking, he hit his crescendo: “Love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside.” With each “love,” he pulled a lump higher into your throat. You could feel the room stop breathing.
If you haven’t yet watched the speech of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, centre, you need to. getty images
If you missed this show — even if you don’t give a toss about theatre — you should watch this speech. Forget the rhetoric that bombards us every time terrible events are perpetrated. Forget the silver ribbons that people will wear
for a while, then put aside. Miranda’s last line is what we need to keep reiterating. (#Loveislove became an immediate hashtag.) The show went on. People sang joyfully. Corden did a funny bit about how Law &
Order kept Broadway actors employed. Several winners spoke eloquently about the power of art to help explain tragedy and console after it occurs. But the sonnet was the peak. The Tony Awards aired on
CBS and CTV, and you can see video from the event at ctv.ca Johanna Schneller is a media connoisseur who zeroes in on pop-culture moments. She appears Monday through Thursday.

Stop bellyaching about belly fat HEALTH
Health pros get real about risk factors If your spare tire is expanding, there may be cause for concern — but not because your pants don’t fit. Here, health experts explain all about stomach fat. What is abdominal obesity? Dr. Fahad Razak, an internist at St. Michael’s Hospital, says abdominal obesity is a disproportionate gain of fat within the abdomen, relative to other parts of the body. If a man’s waist measures more than 102 centimetres, or a woman’s measures more than 88 centimetres, then the patient is considered abdominally obese. The fat tissue is actually two types of fat: subcutaneous fat, just below the skin; and visceral fat, stored in the abdomen and around the organs. Who gets it? Dr. Sonia Anand, professor of medicine and epidemiol-
ogy at McMaster, says men are more likely to be abdominally obese than women, said Anand. But once women are post-menopausal and losing estrogen, they may grow larger bellies, she said. South Asian populations are prone to developing visceral fat, said Anand, whose research focuses on people of this demographic. And then there’s body shape. Whether you have a pear shape — meaning you carry more weight in your hips — or apple shape — meaning you carry weight in your stomach — comes down to genetics. What are the health risks? If someone has an excess of stomach fat, they usually have an excess of visceral fat too, said Dr. Paul Poirier, a cardiologist and professor of pharmacy at Laval University. That fat around your heart, liver, kidneys and stomach, can lead to organ malfunction, he said. The visceral fat also produces a molecule called adipokine, which is proinflammatory and circulates around
the body, said Poirier. When someone has low-grade inflammation, they’re more prone to coronary artery disease, gingivitis and other health issues, he said. But the main health concerns are: diabetes, cholesterol abnormalities and heart disease, said Razak. Abdominal fat is more metabolically active and can affect a body’s hormones and insulin control. Abdominal fat can also contribute to elevated levels of bad cholesterol and depressed levels of good cholesterol, he said. What can you do about it? Reduce calorie intake, increase fruit and vegetable intake, increase fibre intake, reduce intake of saturated and trans fats. Exercise. Registered dietitian Abby Langer agrees: “I would tell people to clean up their diet,” she said. Bariatric surgery could help to shrink a patient’s stomach and improve overall health, despite being an extreme step, said Razak.

MYTH busting belly fat Myth 1: Drinking beer causes beer bellies It’s not the beer, but the calories, said Dr. Sonia Anand, McMaster University. But if you have a beer belly, you may want to cut back on the beer. People with abdominal obesity have a higher risk of
a fatty liver. Combined with alcohol, that will stress your liver, increasing your risk of chronic liver disease. Myth 2: Spot reduction workouts shrink bellies “There’s no such thing as spot reduction,” says Dr. Yoni
Freedhoff, author of Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work. If you work on losing weight, you will eventually lose body weight all over. Personal trainer Kathleen Trotter adds it’s nutrition, that will help you achieve weight loss goals.

Case for pot-sports link gaining stronger support Marijuana
Canadian gold medallist among cannabis advocates In college, Jim McAlpine used to combat his attention deficit disorder when term papers had to be finished. Now, as a 46-year-old married father and businessman near San Francisco, he uses twice daily: “My mind is one of those minds that’s just always moving, and I need to slow it down.”
Marijuana is his answer, and it is also becoming his business. McAlpine, who has founded a marijuana-themed travelling sports carnival called the 420 Games, is planning to open a pot-friendly fitness centre in Northern California with help from former Toronto Argonauts running back Ricky Williams. And he has plans to expand both businesses, with an eye on Canada. “In the time we’re in today, and where I’ve had to live my life in terms of hiding my cannabis use, I just felt the world was ready for it,” McAlpine said. “With education,

the Internet, all the kind of false propaganda is being torn down.” Marijuana is having a moment in North America. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ran
on a platform that included a promise to legalize it, and legislation is expected next spring. U.S. President Barack Obama said he used marijuana in his youth, and several states have been moving it closer to the mainstream. In that regard, sports is both a beacon and a final frontier. The CFL does not test players for marijuana, but other organizations do. In March, retired Chicago Bulls player Jay Williams estimated up to 80 per cent of NBA players use marijuana. Last month, Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Eugene Monroe donated
$80,000 US to a cannabis study involving players, seeking alternatives to the prescription painkillers that have led many to addiction. Ross Rebagliati, the 1998 Olympic gold medal snowboarder and cannabis advocate, said that is part of why McAlpine’s ventures make sense. Marijuana and fitness, he said, can be mentioned together. “To me, it represents the connection between cannabis and a healthy lifestyle,” Rebagliati said. “I think that’s really the bottom line: that cannabis can be a big part of a really healthy lifestyle.” Torstar News service

Group stage
Italians flip script on pre-tourney expectations Italy opened its campaign with an impressive victory over Belgium, while defending champion Spain beat the Czech Republic on a good day for the traditional powerhouses. Ridiculed by their own media as one of the country’s worst tournament teams ever, the Italians responded with a huge 2-0 win that sent the Azzurri to the top of Group E after Sweden and Ireland drew 1-1 earlier. Also Monday, Spain needed a late goal from Gerard Pique to beat a particularly stubborn Czech Republic 1-0. Tight defending and two well-taken goals were the keys to Italy overcoming a Belgium lineup tipped by some to win it all.

While the likes of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne failed to deliver, Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle made a mockery of Italy’s underdog status. Giaccherini pounced on a stunning 40-metre pass over the Belgium defence by Leonardo Bonucci to score in the 32nd minute and Pelle rounded off a breakaway with an unstoppable volley from inside the area in stoppage time. “The critics were all against us,” said Italy coach Antonio Conte. “But this is the beauty of football. You get the chance to prove people wrong, if you have the determination and will to work like we have.”

In Toulouse, Spain’s patience finally paid off in the 87th minute, when Andres Iniesta found space on the left side of the area to chip over a perfect cross for Pique to head home. It was no less than Vicente Del Bosque’s team deserved. “We took the initiative during the entire match. We dominated,” the Spain coach said. “Iniesta made a perfect pass
and Pique was phenomenal.” Sweden’s game at SaintDenis was a great deal more balanced, with Ireland well worth its 48th-minute lead when Wes Hoolahan swept in Seamus Coleman’s cross with a sweetly-struck half volley. “It’s up there with the best goals I’ve scored,” said Hoolahan, known as “Wessi” among fans of Norwich — a play on
Lionel Messi’s name in an homage to 34-year-old Irishman’s trickery. As ever, though, the talismanic Ibrahimovic came to Sweden’s rescue. His dangerous ball across the face of the goal was met with a stooping header by luckless Ireland defender Ciaran Clark into his own net.

Gronk, Lewis back doing ‘football stuff ’ The Spring of Gronk has officially begun. So, too, have the first meaningful steps on the road back for Patriots running back Dion Lewis. Lewis, who is recovering from November surgery to repair a torn left ACL, made his first on-field appearance of New England’s off-season program Monday — the final day that this portion of organized team activities are open to the media. He said getting to do actual drills was a welcome change from the strict protocols that trainers and doctors have had
him under since his injury. “It feels good to do football stuff. It’s been awhile. A little rusty. Just trying to be myself again,” Lewis said. Tight end Rob Gronkowski was also on the field for the first time after being absent from the onfield p o r tion of last week’s mandatory minicamp. On Monday, quarterback Tom Brady’s favourite target sported
a shaved head and the same cheery disposition that has made him a fan favourite. Gronkowski said he was excited to be back a n d
echoed the characterization that coach Bill Belichick made last week when asked why Gronk and several Patriots were missing from the workouts. “I was just doing other things, as coach said last week, so everything’s good,” Gronkowski said. “We were just working on other things so everything’s all smooth. Everything’s good.”

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 If your relationship with a friend or partner has fallen into a rut, today will shake it up a bit. Fortunately, it will shake it up in a good way. Point your finger in the air and sing, Staying Alive!
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Stock the fridge, because you might unexpectedly entertain at home today. Something surprising or unusual will occur within the family.
