Alberta doctors have launched a clinical assessment trial to understand how Fort McMurray’s air quality will affect children’s lungs after wildfires decimated the region in early May. Dr. Irena Buka, director of Edmonton’s Children’s Environmental Health Clinic, said doctors spearheaded the trial after learning arsenic ash was found at some sites in the city. “We need to plan for these type of events,” she said. “This isn’t going to be the last time there’s a fire in Alberta.” The assessments, which will occur at multiple clinics in Edmon-

ton, are open to children ages 6 to 17 who are either diagnosed with asthma or use puffers for chest wheezing, or have never had an asthma diagnosis or used puffers. Buka said physicians will measure lung function by using a specialized computer, where children will be asked to blow into a special tube, upon parental consent. She said doctors want to assess children as they begin re-settling in Fort McMurray and then re-assess kids at intervals of one week, one month and two months. The goal of the assessments, Buka said, is to ensure that children get good clinical care. “We could enhance standards of clinical practice so that doctors have a clearer idea of what needs to be done in these situations.” She said doctors plan to submit an application to turn the data into an in-depth research study to determine what lessons can be learned. Buka said it has yet to be determined when the doctors finalize the project.

Council tepid on drainage pitch city services

Consultant to study if proposal good for residents

big money Some numbers related to EPCOR and the cost of drainage upgrade. $141 million Current EPCOR dividend, which it pays to the city yearly

Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Tuesday’s narrow vote in favour of even considering an EPCOR proposal to take over its drainage department suggests the utility could be rowing upstream with the idea. Council voted 7-6 in favour of a motion to spend $200,000 for an independent consultant to review the proposal and determine if it’s in the best interest of Edmonton residents. That review is coming back in October, with EPCOR covering its full cost. The company, which is 100 per cent owned by the city, wants to take over the city’s drainage department and run it much as it now does water distribution and electricity transmission. Its proposal includes a higher dividend payment for the city and a commitment to follow Edmonton’s existing plans for drainage system upgrades. EPCOR president and CEO Stuart Lee said the company wants to take over drainage because it would allow it to gather skills that they could market around the world. “There are a lot of smaller communities, mid-sized communities, that don’t have the expertise that Edmonton has,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to

continue to grow our business.” The study will look at whether the transfer would be in the best interests of residents. It also aims to look at issues around flood mitigation and whether EPCOR would be able to handle those projects as part of the drainage system. Coun. Ben Henderson was among the six councillors who voted against studying the idea. Henderson argued even if the city completely owns EPCOR, moving the drainage department removes some of council’s over-

sight. “Creating distance between us and that decision-making is very problematic and not what we are put here to do,” he said. Coun. Scott McKeen, part of the seven votes in favour, said council had an obligation to at least consider the proposal. “I feel duty bound to make a decision on the best evidence and the best information before me,” he said. McKeen said studying the idea would not be a commitment to endorsing it.

RCMP seek people on trail before wildfire Brodie Thomas

Metro | Calgary RCMP working with provincial fire investigators want to speak with anyone using the Horse River Trail System in the days leading up to the Fort McMurray wildfire evacuation. Cpl. Hal Turnbull with the Alberta RCMP K Division said as they rule out natural causes such as lightning, they’re left with human activity-related causes. “This isn’t an investigation starting from the premise that a criminal act has occurred,” said Turnbull. The RCMP are focusing on the Horse River area, which is where the fire was first spotted by an airborne forestry crew on May 1. Turnbull said they’re hoping to speak with anyone who was there between April 29 and May 5. When asked if someone who unintentionally started the fire might face charges, Turnbull said it would depend on the evidence. “Something of this magnitude, I’m sure investigators will take any information they have before Crown prosecutors to get their input as to which offence, if any, would be best supported in a court of law.” Anyone who was in the Horse River area is asked to call the RCMP’s toll-free wildfire investigation phone line at 1-844-620-9826, or to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

First indigenous team to Doctor’s appeal compete on Amazing Race denied sexual assault

Dad, daughter face fears and challenges on popular show

Everyone will laugh when it comes out on TV. Ashley Callingbull

Metro | Edmonton When racing across Canada, you don’t want just anybody at your side — but Ashley Callingbull, a.k.a. Mrs. Universe, says her dad was the perfect choice. “I’m very energetic and out there, and my dad is calm, and I felt like any time there was a tough situation he would calm me down,” said Callingbull, who’s from Enoch Cree Nation, close to Edmonton. “We just make a crazy team.” Callingbull, who also appears on APTN’s Blackstone, and her dad Joel Ground are one of the first four teams competing in the upcoming season, which

was announced Tuesday. She said they’ve always been fans of the show, but her shooting schedule always got in the way.

This year the timing worked out, so they applied.“We thought it’d be really challenging and allow us to face our fears, so we thought, ‘Why not?’”

They are the first indigenous team in the show’s four-year run. “It means a lot more than I can say,” Callingbull said. “I think it’s great that the media

is finally showing more diversity and showing more First Nation people. “I mean, we’re the first people of this country, there are so many of us in this country, but none have made it on the show until us.” Although she can’t reveal details, Callingbull said she did end up facing more than a few fears during the filming. “Everyone will laugh when it comes out on TV,” she said, adding she did things she never thought she’d be able to. “It’s crazy when you think you’re exhausted and then you just find the strength out of nowhere and you turn into a beast, and you can conquer anything.”

The Alberta Court of Appeal has denied a doctor’s appeal of his sexual-assault conviction. Ismail Taher voluntarily stopped practising medicine after he was found guilty of groping an 18-year-old woman, who went to a medi-centre in Sherwood Park about a possibly infected nose piercing in August 2013. The woman said he massaged her breasts and touched her buttocks while looking at her other piercings. Taher was sentenced to 12 months probation and told to pay $500 in restitution. The trial judge ruled the woman’s testimony was credible and rejected the doctor’s version of events due to sparse notes, his failure to respond directly to critical questions and his manner of responding that left her with “the impression that he was being evasive on certain critical points.” The justices ruled there was no errors in the judge’s ruling and dismissed Taher’s appeal. the canadian press

Housing

Vacant city-owned land faces development Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton City council pushed ahead with plans for a community development corporation Tuesday, but not before reopening an old debate over surplus school sites. The details will still be worked out before council votes on a formal plan in the fall, but the outline of the corporation would involve using $10 million

of city land and resources, from agencies like the United Way and Homeward Trust. The idea would be to build affordable housing or other buildings that would benefit the community, especially in neighbourhoods with blighted properties. The city would commit to $280,000 over the next five years, along with $100,000 in startup costs. Council unanimously voted to start a plan to create the cor-

poration Tuesday, beginning with a business case and an inventory of city-owned land that the corporation could use. But Coun. Bryan Anderson pushed to exclude former school sites from that inventory. The redevelopment of surplus school sites has been controversial in many neighbourhoods with many residents upset to be losing open space. Only Coun. Mike Nickel joined Anderson in voting for

the exclusion of the school sites. Mayor Don Iveson said the new corporation won’t target school sites and there was no reason to even discuss them. “It muddied the water unnecessarily because the Community Development Corporation is looking at different land,” he said following the meeting. Iveson argued the corporation could improve neighbourhoods, redevelop vacant or contaminated sites and create jobs.

Fentanyl ring busted Drugs

ALERT makes its biggest fentanyl seizure to date Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton A major fentanyl bust in Edmonton could put a dent in gang activity across B.C. and Alberta, according to officials. Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams made their largest seizure of fentanyl pills to date in the city after following a suspect’s vehicle from British Columbia, leading investigators to three southwest Edmonton homes. About 2,000 fentanyl pills were seized at a condo in Hanna Crescent, in the city’s southwest. Police also seized more than 60 kilograms of marijuana, a small amount of cocaine, a taser, body armour, $26,000 cash, 650 rounds of ammunition and a prohibited magazine. “The seizures of the drugs themselves, it’s a small portion,” said ALERT Staff Sgt.

Pierre Blais. “It’s all part and parcel of an organized crime group.” The Edmonton Police Service, RCMP and Alberta Sheriffs assisted ALERT in its investigation, which began in May. The enforcement teams’ organized crime and gang squad was tipped off that a vehicle was returning to Edmonton from lower mainland B.C. with a large shipment of drugs, and it tracked down the vehicle June 3 before carrying out warrants on homes in the Rutherford, Terwillegar and Lewis Estates neighbourhoods. “ALERT has definitely prioritized fentanyl investigations, because of the effect it has on the community. It’s killing people,” Blais said. He said the pills being brought from B.C. likely originated in China, and that they would have been sold on the street as “fents” at $2040 per pill in Edmonton or up to $80 outside of the city. One of two vehicles seized also included hidden compartments for transporting narcotics. Edmonton residents Christoper Jervis, 28, James JervisHilker, 35, and Billy Roche, 28, were arrested in the raid.

Help keep Spark alive, camp pleas education

Organization seeks donors after losing its funding Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton A theatre camp for low-income youth is struggling to return after losing its funding. Spark Youth Camp created an original theatre production with more than 30 kids in the 118th Avenue area last year, who not only wrote the play but built the set and props before performing in front of a live audience at Alberta Avenue Community League. “The response was amazing. Students really shone in the

camp, students really grew. Everyone was a family. It was a really supportive environment,” said co-founder and instructor Lianna Makuch. The two-week day camp was created in response to a lack of affordable arts education in the area, and was offered for free thanks to $7,000 from the Alberta Avenue Revitalization Fund and a $19,000 matching grant from the Community Initiatives Program. Members of Crystal Kids and Boys and Girls Club took part, as well as kids who live in the area. “It was really fantastic, because there were people who would normally not have this opportunity to experience the kind of self-esteem and empowerment that you get through participating in the arts, and to work as a team

and to create something original,” Makuch said. The camp was not able to secure the same grants this year, but Makuch wants it to be free again for kids who can’t afford it. She will need $16,000 to

make that happen — part of which would pay for professionals to give workshops on things like stage combat, sculpting, improv, dance and puppet making — and is currently about $5,000 short. “We really don’t want to

turn anyone away,” Makuch said, noting this year’s camp will run from July 4 to 16. The group is taking donations online through an IndieGoGo campaign, as well as through the Alberta Avenue Community League.

Lawyer and philanthropist Douglas Stollery will be installed as the University of Alberta’s 21st chancellor on Wednesday. Known for his social justice and humanitarian work, he was elected to a four-year term by the University Senate in early May. “At the societal level, universities are among our most important catalytic engines for transformation and change ... especially as citizens increasingly look to universities not just as places of knowledge, but also as leaders for the public good, endeavouring to understand and answer some of our most pressing societal questions,” Stollery said, in a release. Stollery holds degrees from the University of Alberta and Harvard Law and was general counsel to PCL Construction before he retired. He is now, among other things, president of the Stollery Charitable Foundation.

fact Smoking is out, vaping is in E-cig check history

industry

Electronic trend gaining steam with non-smokers

I’ve never seen another group become so close knit, in many ways, as vapers have.

Kevin Maimann

David Hurlburt

Metro | Edmonton Vaping is no longer for ex-smokers. Shops selling electronic cigarettes have popped up all over Edmonton, and while the devices were initially marketed to help people quit inhaling tobacco smoke, they’re now attracting a new breed, according to some. Alix Steeves, who manages Vape Horizon near Whyte Avenue, said about 30 per cent of her customers were never previously hooked on nicotine. “So many other people are doing it, they think it’s cool,” she said. “Just like smoking used to be how many years ago — it used to be the cool thing to do. And now vaping is.” Industry insiders say the vape trend is growing in Edmonton,

Vape Horizon manager Alix Steeves says almost a third of her customers are not previous cigarette smokers. Kevin Tuong/Metro

and Steeves said her store’s main demographic is men in their mid-20s. The e-cigarette industry has adjusted to its shifting customer base, designing bigger and more elaborate devices. “They’re not mimicking ciga-

rettes anymore, they’ve completely turned the tables and turned it into a whole different thing,” Steeves said. Many vapers describe the craze as a lifestyle. David Hurlburt, who manages Vapour Choice in West Edmon-

ton, said the vaping community shares a bond comparable to that of a goth or heavy metal subculture, and Edmonton vape shop owners meet regularly to discuss trends and legislation. “I’ve never seen another group become so close knit, in

many ways, as vapers have in such a short period of time,” Hurlbut said. He explained that for many users, their e-cigarette is not a mere accessory but an extension of their personality. While a quiet, introverted person might buy a discrete device that produces little vapour, someone who is more ostentatious would go the opposite route, “like he’s trying to create his own weather system with the clouds that he’s producing.” Hurlbut said vape shops seem to be especially popular in Edmonton compared to other cities. While the economic downturn has hurt many businesses, his is booming — something he attributes partly to the rising cost of cigarettes in Alberta.

Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are handheld electronic devices that come in various shapes and sizes and vaporize liquid that is usually made from nicotine, propylene glycol and glycerine. Users inhale the vapour in a process called vaping. The liquid, referred to as e-liquid, e-juice or vape juice, comes in thousands of flavour combinations ranging from donuts to watermelon to champagne with strawberries. Many manufacturers brag of “high quality ingredients” and offer varying nicotine levels. E-cigarettes first hit the market in 2004 and were touted as a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes, though their longterm health effects and effectiveness in getting people to quit smoking are both unclear. The popularity of the devices has grown exponentially and given rise to a long product line of vaping accessories. Vapers can buy “bling kits,” carrying cases, vape stands, USB chargers and even fake moustaches to put on the end of an e-cigarette. Kevin Maimann/metro

The province is seeking public input on new safety guidelines for people with developmental disabilities, which will replace the controversial safety standards repealed in April. Anyone with suggestions for the program can participate in an interactive webinar on June 20 or June 27, or fill out a questionnaire on the Human Services website. John te Linde, PDD Consultation Team Chair, said in a release that they plan to explore solutions that respect the dignity of people funded through the PDD program while enabling them

to live safely. “I look forward to hearing from individuals, families and advocates about what solutions can support their safety and wellbeing,” he said. The PDD safety standards were introduced in 2013 after an Edmonton woman with Down syndrome died in a house fire. The regulation required homes for people receiving funding to in-

stall things like sprinklers and anti-scale devices. But advocates fought back, saying that rather than making people safer, it just made finding housing harder and expensive. Minister of Human Services Irfan Sabir repealed the regulation on April 1 after the first round of consultations. The team came up with a list of proposals that will be floated in phase two consultations. The new safety ideas include: reviewing the PDD program to enable safer lives in community for individuals with development disabilities, training and educating staff working with individuals, and setting accreditation standards for community service providers. Consultations run until July 6.

Feds acknowledge lack of data on opioid Health Canada has taken a step back from claims that W-18 is a synthetic opioid that is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl, now acknowledging more research is needed. The department issued a statement Tuesday clarifying its position on the drug after

experts questioned widely circulated assertions about its potency and classification. Health Canada said it referred to W-18 as a synthetic opioid to align with multiple sources, including the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Abuse, and

because the limited scientific information available compared it to morphine. Health Canada emphasized that it is not currently known whether overdose-reversing agent naloxone would be effective for someone who had taken W-18. the canadian press

‘My wife makes me angry, so I Campaign

Program gives counselling to abusive men Yvette d’Entremont Metro | Halifax

Three stark black and white posters with powerful messages were unveiled Tuesday at Halifax Regional Police headquarters ahead of a panel discussion about men’s violence against women. “My wife makes me angry so I push her. My son makes me angry so I push him. I’m angry that I can’t be a better man,” states one of the posters. The launch of New Start Counselling’s ‘On being a better man’ campaign raised questions about funding for the organization that provides counselling for men who abuse their intimate partners. The group received funding to create the impactful posters, but has no advertising budget. Wendy Keen, executive dir-

ector of New Start Counselling, said her program is struggling due to a lack of resources. Funded through a provincial operating grant of $235,000 a year, she said they’ve been forced to prioritize clients because they only have 2.8 full time counsellors. “This work is so important because it’s not just about men, it’s about families,” Keen said, noting they could triple their staff next week and still be busy. As part of the panel discussion on men’s violence against women, Halifax Regional Police Staff Sgt. Scott MacDonald announced they’d recently expanded their crime prevention

“The addition of a domestic violence prevention officer improves our ability to hold the abusers accountable as well as assist them in getting the help they need to change their behaviour and stop the violence.” Alice Housing’s executive director Heather Byrne was one of many representatives who attended the event. Her organization provides housing and supportive counselling to women and children leaving domestic abuse. She applauded New Start Counselling’s poster initiative. “I would just like to commend New Start for continuing their focus on serving men

This work is so important because it’s not just about men, it’s about families. Wendy Keen unit to include a constable who will focus on domestic violence crime prevention. “We know…that in many domestic abuse situations the victim will go back to the abuser for a variety of reasons,” he said.

who are the other half of this equation,” she said. “If we are not focusing the time and attention on these men, we are not going to actually reduce incidents of intimate partner violence.”

MP under fire for petition Shooter seen at on to loosen laws on AR-15 rifle Pulse occasion Investigation

British Columbia

Similar to weapon used in Orlando shootings David P. Ball

Metro | Vancouver NDP MP Nathan Cullen took a fellow northern B.C. politician to task Tuesday for sponsoring a petition that would make it easier for Canadians to get their hands on a semi-automatic rifle like the one used in the Orlando massacre and other U.S. mass shootings. Cullen argued that Conservative backbencher Bob Zimmer’s support for reclassifying the AR15 rifle — a civilian version of the U.S. Army’s M-16 assault weapon — as an unrestricted hunting gun is “not defensible.”

A Conservative MP is facing criticism from his peers over his petition to classify the AR-15, a similar model as the gun used in the Orlando massacre, as an unrestricted hunting gun. Getty Images

“Hunters I know don’t use this gun for hunting,” the New Democrat told Metro in a phone interview. “You certainly wouldn’t use it in your practice as a farmer. “Any argument that says this is simply a hunting weapon probably hasn’t been hunting lately.

This is not a hunting gun. It’s designed to do what it did in Orlando, which is to kill people — and not just Orlando, but San Diego and Sandy Hook.” Contrary to many media reports since Sunday’s Pulse gay bar massacre, the main gun the

shooter used was not in fact a Colt Armalite Rifle (AR-15), but another company’s adaptation — a Sig Sauer MCX carbine. Regardless of the name, however, both weapons are civilian versions of the U.S. military assault rifle M-16, and can be eas-

ily modified to illegally make them fully automatic. In Canada, restricted weapons can only be fired at authorized ranges, can only fire five rounds, and require strict permits. Zimmer sponsored the petition through a new electronic system launched last year, and presented it in Parliament on May 13. He did not respond to Metro’s interview requests. The federal government began accepting citizen’s electronic petitions last December, but each needs a sitting MP as a sponsor to present them before the House of Commons. When Zimmer did that, he thanked the petition’s Newfoundland creator, “a firearms advocate,” adding he was “honoured” to present it to MPs. Zimmer is co-chair of the Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus, which hosted a “Caucus Shooting Day” event for MPs to fire guns at a range on June 7, five days before the Orlando massacre.

The murky picture of Orlando gunman Omar Mateen grew more complex Tuesday with word that the FBI is investigating whether he had been a regular at the gay dance club he attacked and had been living a secret life as a gay man. Investigators continued to gather information on the 29-yearold Ameri c a n - b o r n Omar Mateen Muslim — associated press and took a close look at his wife, too — for clues to the attack that left 49 victims dead. A number of possible explanations and motives for the bloodbath have emerged, with Mateen professing allegiance to Daesh, his ex-wife saying he was mentally ill, and his father suggesting he was driven by hatred of gays.

Hillary Clinton brought a close to the presidential primary season with a win Tuesday in the nation’s capital and a meeting with dispatched rival Bernie Sanders, hoping to set a tone of Democratic unity heading into next month’s party convention in Philadelphia. Clinton’s win in the District of Columbia, the final primary of 2016, had no bearing on her role as the presumptive nominee, but it nevertheless marked a transition in the lengthy primary fight between the two rivals. “We’re going to have a wideranging conversation, because

we share a lot of the same goals,” Clinton said Tuesday night in an interview with Telemundo. “We both want to raise the minimum wage, we want to fight inequality of income, we want to make college affordable and we certainly want everybody to get health care.” She added, “I very much am looking forward to having his support in this campaign, because Donald Trump poses a serious threat to our nation.” Before polls closed in Washington, Sanders vowed again to do all he can to prevent the presumptive Republican presiden-

tial nominee from reaching the White House — but he declined to endorse Clinton. The Vermont senator has said the private meeting will help him determine how committed Clinton will be to the policy issues he has staked out during his 13-month campaign. “Our goal must not be to allow politicians, Donald Trump or anyone else, to divide us,” Sanders said outside his Washington headquarters, telling reporters he will continue to “fight as hard as we can” to transform the Democratic Party.

Don’t forget it, YEG — it’s Chinatown

Rosemary Westwood ON AMERICA’S DIVISIONS

The concept of a national conversation was lost somewhere along the way to the reality of a national stalemate. And that is fairly terrifying. In Louisiana, where temperatures hug the low-30s and 80 per cent humidity regularly thickens the air, it’s apparently not enough to be on death row. State officials there have spent $1 million fighting a court order to install air conditioning (more than the cost of said air conditioning), by arguing prisoners can make do with cold showers. No air conditioning. In Louisiana. On death row. It’s a bad joke, except it’s actually a headline. And that is the case so often in America these days. When Donald Trump — waving his golden scepter and adjusting the TRUMP crown on his head — pulled press credentials from the entire Washington Post this week, it was a move without precedent that should signal to Trump’s followers just how little he cares about freedom. In this case, of the press. Trump banned the “phony and dishonest” Post after it ran a story about Trump’s conspiracy-theory suggestion that President Barack Obama may be somehow involved with the Orlando shooting. That statement, too, should signal to Trump’s followers all the sunbathing has finally given Trump perpetual sun-stroke, to the point that he sees Daesh sympathy in a man condemned internationally for going too

ers actually thinking about all this? And what we’ve learned in the last year is, they’re not really thinking at all. They just love Trump, whatever he says. And the crazier it gets, well, the crazier it gets. It’s brand power the Queen would envy. And it suggests a definable, if also unknowable, group who can’t be reached by reason or reportage. How big that group is, we may never know. But it was big enough to earn him the Republican nomination. More generally, the attacks in Orlando have revealed not just deep, but perhaps insurmountable ideological differences among Americans. While Hillary Clinton hammers

Trump doubled down on the need for more guns (apparently so Americans can battle it out against terrorists in the streets), a tactic the New York Times warns could actually secure him some needed votes from less educated white Democrats. That Trump stands to actually gain more support, after all we’ve seen, genuinely baffles me. But Americans undoubtedly know better. The concept of a national conversation was lost somewhere along the way to the reality of a national stalemate. And that is fairly terrifying. In this era of intractable difference, are there any minds still open to change? And what does that say for the shared experi-

And I’m failing, because I can’t understand a person so “tough on crime” they can’t even install air conditioning for a few dead-men-walking, or someone so afraid of controls on guns they’d rather live amid routine mass shootings via assault rifles. And perhaps that confusion is also a Canadian thing. In the American era of Trump, of mass shootings, of bans on Muslims and attacks on abortions and a national uproar over trans people using bathrooms, I’ve never been faced with so much evidence that we are not at all the same. America feels, more than ever, deeply unknowable, deeply foreign, and deeply stuck.

What do you think of when you think of Chinatown? For some Edmontonians, the ethnic enclave is a daily part of life — to shop, visit friends and family, or volunteer in one of the many associations. Others tend to visit Chinatown only for their favourite restaurant or even just late night eats. Increasing numbers of “For Lease” signs hanging in abandoned buildings suggest life behind the Harbin Gates has become uncertain. This has led some to wonder if Chinatown needs to exist. In this light, the Chinese Benevolent Society held a weekend conference to discuss the future. On Sunday, delegates were invited to share their experiences with Chinatown. Committee chair Len Chan Marples spoke to me about her own discoveries about what Chinatown meant to her while working as a historian for Fort Edmonton Park and researching the history of the city’s Chinese laundry. “Growing up I remember colouring log cabins and teepees, you know, but all I knew about the Chinese (settlers in Edmonton) is that they built the railroad,” Marples said. In fact, the first Chinese settlers in Edmonton fled from Calgary, escaping smallpox, Marples said. “The disease was blamed on the Chinese.” Later, in 1977, several Chinese societies formed a committee to prepare a plan for Chinatown, the results of which largely did not materialize. In 1981, much of Old

Chinatown was demolished to make room for Canada Place. I’ve always loved the burst of multiculturalism Chinatown creates in Edmonton, but over the past 10 years the area has grown shabby. According to some firstgeneration immigrants at the conference, Chinatown looks like a blast from the past: the red gates and pagodas don’t resemble modern Chinese urban life. Chinatown has also failed to maintain its uniqueness: Asian groceries have become more common all over the city. Edmonton has changing demographics, and the children of first-generation Chinese immigrants have largely moved to the suburbs. Yet a community has remained. Chinatown is about identity as much as it is a place to get Asian food. The space is a testament to the resilience of the Chinese people. It’s the physical manifestation of community. What began as a sort of forced segregation grew into a strong presence that can shape a city, and draw people in to a vibrant downtown core. The future will rely on looking at successful rejuvenations of Chinatowns across the world. As someone who is not Chinese but loves this city, I think it’s worthwhile endeavour, not only to serve the long-standing Chinese community but also to support an integrated model of multicultural neighbourhoods that make Edmonton a great city to live in. Long live Chinatown. Danielle Paradis loves Edmonton, politics and flowcharts. She tweets @DaniParadis Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

When life gives you lemons Interview

Vegetarian recipes include bright notes of citrus flavours

recipe from The Love & Lemons Cookbook

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM Serves 4. Gluten Free

Melita Kuburas

Metro | Canada Eating vegetables will never go out of style. “That can’t trend out,” says Jeanine Donofrio, creator of the Love & Lemons food blog who just released a cookbook that features all vegetarian recipes — an A to Z (or Apples to Zucchini) guide to cooking with plants. Much like the nose-to-tail philosophy that meat lovers subscribe to, Donofrio is committed to wasting no part of the beloved plants she chops up. “I try to think of what I have before I go back to the store,” says Donofrio, who is from Austin, Texas. “I can make a whole thing of pasta with two leftover radishes and leftover spinach.” A perfect example of her commitment to reducing waste and saving money in The Love & Lemons cookbook (Viking, $35) is the Carrot-Ginger Grain Bowl,

in which she uses the tops of the carrots in the meal. But don’t think using scraps makes the food look messy. As a graphic designer, Donofrio thinks visually first. She left her job in 2011 to start the blog with her husband, and she collaborated with a former coworker on the book. “I think of design elements like colour, pattern or texture when I’m creating a recipe. Also, I think about how it will look on the plate and how the flavours will work together,” she says. In that sense, the visually striking lemon theme is symbolic of her commitment to the esthetic. Most recipes do include a citrus component, however. “I like bright food so I generally find myself finishing things with a squeeze of lemon. Sometimes it’s lime.”

I thought of it in the middle of the night and I went to register the URL at 3 a.m. I was like, ‘Oh that’s it!”

In-flight seizures land Lil Wayne in hospital

This is the third time in four years that Lil Wayne has been hospitalized due to seizures. GETTY IMAGES

Lil Wayne is in stable condition in Omaha after suffering what his publicist described Tuesday as two minor seizures. TMZ has reported that the Grammy-winning rapper’s private jet was forced to make two emergency landings at an Omaha airport Monday afternoon and that he was taken to a hospital. Dennis Messina, an operations supervisor at Omaha’s Eppley Airfield, said that a plane landed around 2:40 p.m. due to a medical emer-

gency, but that treatment was refused. The plane refuelled and was just taking off when the pilot declared another medical emergency and returned to the airport. Messina couldn’t confirm that Lil Wayne, whose real name is Wayne Carter, was on the plane. Derek Sherron, publicity director of The Chamber Group, said Lil Wayne was under the care of his own doctors and was in good spirits.

He thanks his fans for their everlasting support, prayers and well wishes.

“He thanks his fans for their everlasting support, prayers and well wishes,”

Sherron said. Several reports said the 33-year-old New Orleans native was taken to Creighton University Medical Center. A hospital spokeswoman declined to comment Tuesday. In March 2013, Lil Wayne was hospitalized in Los Angeles for seizures. He told a Los Angeles radio station that he’s an epileptic. In October 2012, he was hospitalized in New York for severe migraine and dehydration. the associated press

Is it still art if no one can see or hear it? culture

Authors and movie makers will postdate release of work Some authors crave public adulation. Others are content to wait for it — even if it takes 100 years. David Mitchell, the British author of the 2004 novel Cloud Atlas, is the second major writer to submit a manuscript to the Future Library Project, which will delay its publication until the trees in a Norwegian forest are mature enough to make the paper it’ll be printed on, a century from now. Mitchell, 47, won’t be alive when the work comes out in 98 years. Neither will Canada’s Margaret Atwood, 76, who gave a manuscript called Scribbler Moon to the project last year. The project, which is the brainchild of Scottish artist Katie Paterson, began in the summer of 2014 when 1,000 trees were planted in Nordmarka, Norway, near the country’s capital, Oslo. The City of Oslo and a public corporation jointly sponsored the project and paid for the

I imagined planting a forest that would grow a book over time. Future Library Project creator Katie Paterson

From left to right: Margaret Atwood is the first author to participate in the Future Library Project, meaning a manuscript she has written won’t be read for almost a century. Scottish artist Katie Paterson is the creator of the Future Library Project, which will see the works of 100 authors stored until they can be published in 98 years on paper from trees that were planted in 2014. Martin Shkreli, who epitomizes corporate greed, bought the only copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s album for $2 million to “keep it from the people.” getty images/torstar news service

trees to be planted and for a special room in the city’s Deichman Public Library where the manuscripts will be displayed. Paterson’s plan is for an “outstanding” author to do the same — providing both a print and digital copy of a new book — every year until 2114. “I was simply sketching tree rings and I had a vision I guess. Tree rings, chapter, paper, books, future, trees, forest, writers —

kind of all like that. And I imagined planting a forest that would grow a book over time,” Paterson told CBC Radio. Atwood has described the concept as “delicious.” Mitchell, whose novel is called From Me Flows What You Call Time, is similarly enchanted. “It’s trees, it’s books, it’s a circle, it’s pulp, it’s organic matter turning into (paper). And then the words get printed on them.

Just Cuddle taps into millennial awkwardness THE SHOW: Just Cuddle, S1, E4 (web series) THE MOMENT: The waffles

A professional cuddler (Winter Tekenos-Levy) is with a client (Nancy Mamais) who recently learned she has a rare, debilitating brain disease. (Both women are in their 20s.) The client plans to kill herself with painkillers and wants Cuddler to hold her as she takes them. But first she wants to use the waffle maker her aunt gave her. As they eat, Client asks Cuddler how she began cuddling. “English degree,” she says. “Saw a Craigslist ad.” “Something more,” the client says. Cuddler explains that when she was young, her uncle had MS. One day she was home alone with him and he called her name. “I could see he was in pain,” she says. “I went into my room and shut the door. What kind of a person does that?” The press release for this web series, created by Michael Kimber and Elias Campbell, was savvy enough to include an Atlantic magazine article about real-life cuddlers, who work for agencies with names like Snug-

gle Buddies and earn up to $80 (U.S.) an hour. These webisodes (four so far) sound an alarm about, and offer a solution to, a type of anxiety that feels particularly millennial. The characters have tons of empathy for causes. Face to face, though, they find empathy awkward (and they hate awkward). Their lives are stuffed with virtual friends but starved for human touch. Cuddler is an answer, es-

pecially because she’s utterly non-judgmental. This series is the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby translated to digital video and Cuddler is a human safe space. Just Cuddle can be seen on vimeo.com. Johanna Schneller is a media connoisseur who zeroes in on pop-culture moments. She appears Monday through Thursday.

I love that,” Mitchell said. The participating authors aren’t the only ones embracing the concept of delayed gratification. Actor-director John Malkovich and director Robert Rodriguez recently released a teaser trailer for their film Years — the Movie You’ll Never See, in which the actor says, with mock gravity, “Imagine the future.” Inspired by a fine bottle of

Louis XIII cognac — which the website notes retails for $3,100 for a 700 mL bottle and is made from cognacs that have been aged for 100 years — the film has been sealed in a vault and will not be screened until Nov. 18, 2115. And in the marketing coup of the decade, hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan produced a single copy of an album entitled Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which

the group announced it would sell to the highest bidder. Along came hedge-fund entrepreneur Martin Shkreli, who paid $2 million for the album last November. Shkreli had become the face of corporate greed and one of the most hated human beings on the planet for buying a pharmaceutical company and hiking the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000 per cent. Shkreli bragged he bought the album to “keep it from the people” and hasn’t even listened to all of its 31 tracks. Last December, a month after his purchase, Shkreli was arrested by the FBI and charged with seven securities fraudrelated charges. A guilty verdict on all of them could keep Shkreli in jail for 100 years. torstar news service

love it • Aggressive styling • Driving dynamics • Incredible power • Throaty rumble leave it • Useless trunk opening • Crippling blind spots • Not exactly cheap

Since my first Chevy Camaro encounter during a harrowing drive through an ice storm in Montana, I’ve driven it on a couple other occasions, though curiously only V6-powered examples. Chevy’s eight-cylinder offering has eluded me, until now. And it was worth the wait! SS models features GM’s potent 6.2-litre LT1, a modern-day descendant of the original small block that was introduced back in the 1950s. While practically every other automaker has abandoned pushrods in favour of overhead camshafts, this venerable V8 still uses 16 of the buggers to operate its valves. This configuration is a total throwback, but it delivers heady numbers, in this case, 455 horsepower and an equal amount of torque. That’s 20 more thoroughbreds than the Mustang GT can supply, along with and almost an extra 82 kg-m of twist. The Camaro’s prodigious power is a given, but against expectations, the efficiency figures it’s graced with are nothing to scoff at. Direct injection and variable valve timing help improve flexibility and fuel economy. When equipped with a six-

speed manual transmission, like our test car had, the SS should return 6.8 kilometres per litre in the city, 10.6 km/L highway and 8.1 km/L combined, which is not bad at all. The Camaro I spent a week with was equipped with 1SS trim, which is the most basic version that’s available with a V8 engine. Honestly, it’s the one I’d get if I were spending my own greenbacks because with cloth seats, a stick and no bulls—, it’s incredibly straightforward. With a lightweight body and tons of power, it can hit 97 km/h in the four-second range. In fact, it’s scary fast. From a standstill you go first, second, 137, what’s my bail be set at, your honor? Why do you need a Z/28 or a ZL1? Unless you literally live at a track, the SS model is more than enough. Aside from its engaging dynamics, the sound this Camaro makes is also enthralling. It burbles and pops, rumbles and snorts like an uncorked race car, sounds that come courtesy of that optional exhaust system. Beyond all of this, the Camaro’s magnetic ride control system allows you to completely change the suspension feel, from smooth and supple to kidney-jolting, all at the push of a button; it’s pretty frickin’ amazing how well this technology works, providing you with the best of both worlds. The SS trim takes everything that’s commendable about lesser Camaros and cranks it up, giving you more speed, sound and style. Sure, it may not be a perfect car, with several critical vulnerabilities, but is it ever fun!

Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet homage to doughnuts 370Z NISMO

Nissan doles out the sprinkles for National Doughnut Day

wheels round up News driving the auto industry brought to you by AutoGuide.com

Nissan celebrated National Doughnut Day earlier this month by decorating a bunch of donuts by doing donuts in a 370Z NISMO. The brand has enlisted the help of Formula Drift driver Chris Forsberg to decorate some doughnuts with the spinning rear tires of the 370Z NISMO. In total, 1,270 kilograms of sprinkles were laid out on the ground for the 370Z to fling onto the waiting pastries. A total of 325 doughnuts were covered in delicious sprinkles by the car after 15 passes were made.

Vegas in NHL, if it plays its cards right The NHL is ready to roll the dice on Las Vegas. A person with direct knowledge of the NHL’s decision says the league has settled on Las Vegas as the home for its next expansion franchise, provided organizers can come up with a $500 million fee. The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because details of the plans have not been released by the league ahead of its Board of Governors meeting on June 22 in Las Vegas. Quebec City was also strongly considered for expansion. A second person who had been briefed on the decision said Las Vegas was a “done deal” following the recommendation of the NHL’s executive

committee. The Vegas franchise is expected to begin play in the 2017-18 season, which is the earliest the league could expand, according to a third person who has been briefed on the decision. The franchise would be the NHL’s 31st team and the first major professional sports franchise in Las Vegas, the rapidly growing gambling centre of the American West. The NHL hasn’t expanded since 2000, with Minnesota and Columbus. Prospective Vegas owner Bill Foley is a wealthy businessman unlikely to blink at the price tag previously proposed by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman as an expansion fee. the associated press

Farewell, Mr. Hockey gordie howe

Thousands pay respects at Joe Louis Arena Old hockey gloves, jerseys and framed photos were displayed on one side of Gordie Howe’s flower-draped coffin, friends and family members were seated on the other. Standing nearby were some of hockey’s biggest names — Wayne Gretzky, Scotty Bowman and Steve Yzerman, to name a few — who swapped stories and shared memories of the man known as Mr. Hockey. “Somebody said it best this morning that (Jean) Beliveau, the Rocket (Maurice Richard) and Gordie — they were the three people that probably could change a hockey rink into a cathedral,” Gretzky said. “And when you walked in, it was more like a church today. It’s really special.” The Joe Louis Arena doors opened Tuesday morning for the 12-hour public visitation to honour Howe, who died Friday at age 88. A steady stream of fans and well-wishers shuffled slowly down a red carpet towards Howe’s coffin for the chance to say goodbye to the man many consider to be the greatest player ever. “There won’t be another equal to Gordie Howe in my mind,” said Red Wings fan Jim McIntyre of Chatham, Ont. “In my mind, he was the king of hockey and he was also a prince of man.” Howe was a star forward for the Red Wings during much of his NHL career, which started in 1946 and ended in 1980. Howe, born in Floral, Sask., played 32 pro seasons and won both the Art Ross Trophy as top scorer and Hart Trophy as MVP on six

THE SCENE Inside Joe Louis Arena, with soft red light shimmering against a black backdrop, banners marking the four Stanley Cup Gordie Howe won with Detroit in the early 1950s were displayed with his retired jersey banner. Howe’s No. 9 was also projected on the arena floor and two screens ran slideshows of old photos.

occasions. But he could do much more than score. Howe was quick with an elbow and was as tough as nails. Opponents crossed him at their peril. It was in stark contrast to his style off the ice. Howe was softspoken, friendly and had a gentle demeanour. “Wherever I go — anywhere in the world — and people talk about the Red Wings, they talk about Gordie Howe,” Yzerman said. “They really do.” Howe set NHL marks with 801 goals and 1,850 points. Those records were eventually eclipsed by Gretzky. “He’s the nicest man I ever met,” said Gretzky, his voice cracking with emotion. “I’ve been lucky in my lifetime.

the Olympic Games and they’re all great honours. “But when the boys asked me to be a pallbearer today, it was pretty special.” Bowman was also among the pallbearers along with former Detroit Tigers outfielder Al Kaline. A few dozen fans lined up outside the arena 90 minutes before the opening to be among the first to pay their respects. Others wrote messages of sympathy on two large banners outside the entrance. “He always felt a need to perform each and every game and each and every practice,” said Gretzky, who attended with his father Walter. “That’s what separated Gordie Howe. That’s why he was Gordie Howe. “He had a definite ambition that he was going to be the best player every night and every year and that’s how he lived.

He never changed.” Red Wings fan Bud Somerville spent the night on a folding chair outside the rink so that he’d be the first in line. The 60-year-old from Westland, Mich., said he was a teenager when he first met Howe at the old Detroit Olympia arena. “He’s always been my favourite player, just nobody compared to him,” he said. “He was the greatest ever. They call Gretzky the greatest, but Mr. Hockey is the greatest.” Howe’s funeral, which will also be open to the public, is set for Wednesday at Detroit’s Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. “My favourite Christmas ever was getting a Red Wing No. 9 jersey when I was five years old,” said Gretzky, whose famed No. 99 was a tribute to Howe. “It’s still the best Christmas present I ever got.” the associated press

Ultimate underdogs take a point from Portugal A goal from Birkir Bjarnason earned Iceland a shock 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal on Tuesday at the European Championship, the tiny Scandinavian nation’s first ever match at a major tournament. Iceland, which managed only four shots to Portugal’s 25, was second best most of the game and trailed on a first-half strike by Nani. But its players showed resilience and took advantage of Portugal’s profligacy in front of goal. Bjarnason slotted home the equalizer in the 50th minute with a curled volley at the far post against the run of play, moments after Ronaldo missed a chance to make it 2-0. “We should have scored

more goals, there is no secret about that,” Portugal coach Fernando Santos said. “We knew they could play long balls and that they had good crossers. They were very pragmatic.” With a population of 330,000, Iceland is the smallest nation ever to play at a European Championship. It defied the odds to

reach the Euros by finishing second in its qualifying group, above Turkey and the Netherlands, defeating the Dutch twice. “So many things are happening for the first time to Iceland,” the team’s co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said. “This is another first-time achievement. It was fantastic to play here. It was like playing at home, the fans were fantastic.” Nani put Portugal in front with a clinical finish from close range on a day when Ronaldo equaled Luis Figo’s Portugal record of 127 caps — but lacked his usual composure and accuracy. “It’s down to teamwork,” Hallgrimsson said of Iceland’s success against the Real Madrid star. “You can’t put one player to stop a guy like Ronaldo. It has to be a team effort, closing the areas. There were a lot of players responsible for Ronaldo tonight.” At Stade de Bordeaux, Adam Szalai gave Hungary the lead in a 2-0 win over Austria and substitute Zoltan Stieber added the other after Austria was reduced to 10 men when Aleksandar Dragovic was shown a second yellow card.

Theodorou looks to bounce back in Ottawa

Elias Theodorou Getty Images

It can be billed as a battle of good hair and a winning smile. But for both Toronto middleweight Elias “The Spartan” Theodorou and American “Smile’n” Sam Alvey, Saturday’s UFC fight in Ottawa is more a chance to put a loss behind them than flaunt their looks. Theodorou (11-1-0) suffered his first defeat in December, beaten by tough Brazilian Thiago Santos via unanimous decision after three straight wins in the Octagon. Alvey (25-7-0 with one no contest) saw his three-fight win streak — all first-

round knockouts — snapped in August when he was stopped by Derek Brunson in the first round. Alvey, 30, was then forced to drop out of a planned February fight against Daniel Sarafian after suffering a broken jaw in training. Theodorou and Alvey will meet in the featured bout on the segment of the card streamed on Fight Pass. Rory MacDonald, a B.C., native who fights out of Montreal, faces Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson in a clash of top welterweight con-

tenders in the main event at The Arena at TD Place. The 28-year-old Theodorou is a colourful character who puts his creative advertising degree from Humber College to good use in self-promotion. He likes

Cowboys RB McFadden suffers broken elbow at home Dallas running back Darren McFadden fractured his right elbow in an accident at home and will likely be sidelined at the start of training camp. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the accident happened during Memorial Day weekend, and McFadden returned for voluntary workouts last week. Garrett said the fracture was discovered during a physical before the mandatory minicamp that started Tuesday. The Associated Press

No vote taken on Briles’ status, spokeswoman says A Baylor spokeswoman says the school’s governing board did not take a vote on the future of former football coach Art Briles amid reports some prominent donors wanted to bring him back. Briles was suspended “with intent to terminate” on May 26 when Baylor officials released a 13-page summary of an investigation into how the school mishandled sexual assault allegations, including several against football players.

Brazil coach, GM axed for subpar Copa America exit Brazil’s football confederation fired national coach Dunga on Tuesday in the wake of the team’s elimination from the Copa America in the United States. The confederation announced Dunga’s dismissal in a brief statement, adding that the search for a new coach has begun. Gilmar Rinaldi, the team’s general manager, was also fired. The Associated Press

to boast he has the best hair in MMA and sports an eclectic resumé that includes stunt work, an appearance on The Amazing Race Canada and stints as a romance novel cover boy. “I’m a very big extrovert,” he said in 2014. “A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met.” The UFC has high hopes that the gregarious Theodorou can help carry the UFC flag in Canada. But the Santos loss reinforced there is more work to do in the cage despite a seemingly endless gas tank. A late-comer to the

sport after his first year in college, he has acknowledged being behind in the fundamentals. “I’m always playing catchup,” he says. Alvey’s omnipresent smile was seen on Season 16 of The Ultimate Fighter, when he was coach Shane Carwin’s first pick but lost a majority decision to Joey Rivera in his first bout. He went on to fight in Bellator and the Edmonton-based Maximum Fighting Championship, where he won the middleweight title, before signing with the UFC. The Canadian Press

IN BRIEF Jets short-handed to start The two most-mentioned players on the first day of New York Jets minicamp were the guys who weren’t even there. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is a free agent who remains in a contract stalemate. Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson has yet to sign his franchise tender while he seeks an extension and a huge payday. No Fitz. No Mo. No problem? “If a guy’s not here,” coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday, “you’ve got to get the other guys ready to play.” The Associated Press
