City land deal raises ethical questions OLD STRATHCONA

Advocates target cash incentive toward density Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Old Strathcona advocates are concerned by a provision the city has created for land it’s selling near Whyte Avenue — a provision that could create a financial reward if council rezones the land for increased density. On Tuesday, council approved the sale of the land parcel, which runs between 81 Avenue and 80 Avenue, just east of 105 Street, for $11.6 million. Under the land’s current zoning, the purchaser — Cidex Developments Ltd. — could build a four-storey commercial development, rising to eight storeys if the top floors are residential or hotel space. But council could rezone the property

in future to allow for more storeys. And a provision in Tuesday’s deal specifies that if that happens, city coffers will receive a bonus of $22.50 per square foot for any additional floor space, on top of the $11.6 million. Shirley Lowe, a community advocate and the city’s former historian laureate, said it’s a questionable arrangement. “Is this going to make the city money at the expense of the community? Yes it is,” she said. She described the new provision as the “Judas deal,” because the city will benefit financially from an arrangement that won’t benefit the community. Murray Davison, executive director of the Old Strathcona Business Association, said the deal raises big questions. “I don’t know how they are going to get around this ethically,” he said. Coun. Ben Henderson said when the land comes up for rezoning, the money the city would make can’t be part of the discussion. “If we use that as an argument during the public hearing we are breaking the law. It cannot be a factor.”

Back to Nature Retreat Bed-and-breakfast retreats don’t come more cozy or welcoming than this. A majestic post-and-beam log home built by TV’s Timber Kings is the backdrop for a memorably relaxing trip into the quiet forests north of Cochrane. But it’s not all silent and slow. After exploring nearby Winchell Lake and walking the on-site perennial garden, head to the nearby town of Water Valley, a small town with a liveliness that defies its quaint look: WV Days on Aug. 13 will remind you what’s great about small towns.

GRAB SUMMER BY THE MOMENT

Need room to roam? How about 34,000 acres in the Canadian Badlands? Ninety minutes north of Medicine Hat, close to the Saskatchewan border, sprawls the Bar Diamond Guest Ranch. Stay in the original Bar Diamond Lodge, built in 1903 from logs that escaped a huge boom up river and were hauled one at a time by horse and buckboard. Or, if modern is your thing, book a room in the Uplands Lodge. After a day exploring the badlands on horseback or gliding the Red Deer River on a jet boat, settle in for some down-home western cooking and then share your day’s adventures around a crackling fire. bardiamondguestranch.ca

Aspen Crossing Looking for the perfect blend of rustic indulgence? A short drive southeast of Calgary, just west of Mossleigh on Hwy 24 is a delightful train-themed campground and recreation area. Staying in a beautifully appointed cabin is one thing, but when it happens to be a fully refurbished caboose car, you’re in for a truly unique stay. There are three caboose cabins to choose from, each with its own private deck, gas barbecue and fire pit. Inside is total luxury.

Stroll over to the restored Pullman dining car for dinner. Pick up a souvenir at the gift shop and try not to spend all your money in the glorious garden centre. aspencrossing.com

Aurum Lodge About 45 km west of Nordegg is one of the province’s best known ecotourism destinations. Aurum Lodge overlooks the pristine waters of Abraham Lake and provides a spectacular wilderness experience. The property is perfectly situated to explore Bighorn Country and Banff and Jasper national parks. Make it a long weekend – there’s a two-night minimum. Come back in winter and take a photography workshop to learn how to capture the suspended methane bubbles just beneath the surface of the frozen lake. aurumlodge.com

Mount Engadine Lodge In the heart of Kananaskis Country is local favourite, Mount Engadine Lodge – an inviting, intimate retreat an hour west of Calgary that accommodates no more than 19 guests at a time. If there’s no room at the inn, see if you can book the yurt, high style comfort camping – where pets are welcome. Or just come for high tea between 2 and 5 p.m. Not your run-of-themill high tea, either: charcuterie of local meats and cheeses, as well as freshly baked treats, seasonal fruits and excellent coffee from a local Canmore roastery. Put your feet up on the porch and watch for wildlife wandering through the aptly-named Moose Meadows. mountengadine.com Want some more ideas? Find plenty of ways to grab summer at travelalberta.com.

It beckons from several storeys up on the side of 100 St. Place,

viewable from Churchill Square and the front seat of southbound vehicles. “Take a risk,” reads the sign, created by Edmonton designer Clay Lowe and part of the ongoing Make Something Edmonton project. “It’s the most Edmonton thing you can do.” The sign has been installed piece by piece over the past week. Missing words and letters in its early stages, it prompted fun, flattering and mocking interpretations on Twitter. But on the street Wednesday,

near the sign, many felt it resonated. “It’s about everyday life, really,” said Ben Farquharson, 25. “You just take risks on going out all the time, meeting new people. Edmonton is more outgoing than it used to be. It’s changed in the last 14 years.” Others had a different take. “I think it’s true in general,” said Alison Abbink. “Alberta is a place with big opinions and big ideas to go with it. And in a lot of ways a lot of those have been supported by our council

and the mayor.... We have taken a lot of chances and some things pay off and some things don’t.” Being willing to pursue big ideas, “is a very Edmonton thing to do, a very Alberta thing to do,” she said. Abbink added the sign will spur more to innovate. The sign is part of a series called “Walls of Encouragement,” according to a press release from Melcor, which owns the building. Several more signs are planned but no future locations have been announced.

Diesel vs. electric

TRANSPORTATION

Council exploring the benefits, costs of both fuels Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Councillors sparked a more aggressive push on electric buses Wednesday by ex-

ploring ideas to buy as many as 40 of them next year, rather than five suggested by administration. Transit manager Eddie Robar said a recent pilot with two electric buses performed well and the department wants to put more on the road, but added keeping the buy to just five made sense. “We want to be prepared for what the evolution of that tech-

nology looks like,” Robar said. “It’s a cautious step forward.” The city plans to replace 54 buses per year for each of the next two years, but staff believe the majority should be diesel in the short-term. But the city keeps its diesel buses on the road for 20 years and many councillors expressed hesitation committing to the

DIESEL

950

The city’s total fleet is made up of 950 diesel buses. In the next few year the city plans to buy more than 300 buses to replace older ones.

The city keeps its diesel buses on the road for about 20 years, but that includes a major overhaul at the 12year point.

technology for that long. “Every diesel bus we buy now, putting out 70 per cent more greenhouse gases, is going to be here until 2037,” said Coun. Ben Henderson. The city’s assessment of the electric buses showed they had a range of about 220 kilometres on a charge and performed well on hills.

While the electric buses cost between 60 to 100 per cent more than diesel buses initially, the city will save considerably over the life of the buses on fuel and maintenance. Mayor Don Iveson suggested Edmonton should be bolder. “I would like our city to show some leadership on this,” he said. “We’re seeing it’s practical and cost competitive today.” Coun. Scott McKeen said

ELECTRIC

Edmonton estimates the greenhouse gas emissions of electric buses are between 38 to 44 per cent lower than diesel. They would be even lower if Edmonton’s electricity did not come from coal.

the city is right to be cautious, but that can go too far. “I think there is conservative and I think there is timid, and I think this is more the later,” he said, referring to administration’s proposal. Robar said after the meeting if council wanted more than five electric buses they could look for ways to accommodate the vehicles in transit garages — which currently can’t fit more than five. The final decision will come this fall when council looks at the budget.

220

Electric buses have a range of about 220 kilometres on a single charge. Some city buses drive more than 500 kilometres in a day.

Evidence points to Travis Vader: Crown court

Arguments link accused to missing couple A judge has been asked to connect the dots and convict the man accused of killing a missing Alberta couple. The Crown lacks normally crucial pieces of evidence, such as the bodies of the victims or what may have been used to kill Lyle and Marie McCann. But prosecutor Ashley Finlayson summed up his case Wednesday by asking Justice Denny Thomas to ``consider the totality of the evidence.’’ Travis Vader, 44, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of the couple, who were in their late 70s when they vanished on July 3, 2010. The two were last seen fuelling up their motorhome in their hometown of St. Albert. Two days later the vehicle was found burning in the bush. The Crown is arguing Vader was a desperate drug user, liv-

ing in a makeshift camp when he came across the victims and killed them. The defence has suggested there’s not enough evidence to prove the couple is dead and police should have looked at other suspects. In his final arguments, Finlayson went through facts he said lead inescapably to a finding of guilt. He said Vader visited a friend on the day the victims disappeared and complained he couldn’t afford to put oil in his truck. The friend testified Vader

showed up that afternoon with cash for a case of beer and an SUV that matched the description of the one the victims were towing. Finlayson reminded court of Crown witnesses who testified that DNA matching Vader’s was found in the SUV, including on the steering wheel. His fingerprint was on a can of beer — the same brand that Vader had been drinking with his friend two days earlier. A hat was also found, punctured with a bullet hole and stained with Lyle McCann’s blood. DNA found on the ball cap was also matched to Vader, although court heard earlier the match was less certain. Court was also told that police eventually found a truck — burned out and on a remote oil lease — that Vader had been driving. The keys to the SUV belonging to the McCanns were found inside. Defence lawyer Brian Beresh was expected to offer his closing arguments Thursday. THE CANADIAN PRESS

University gets $54.5 million ‘historic’ grant Alex Boyd

Metro | Edmonton A $54.5 million donation announced Wednesday is a “historic” investment in the health of women and children. “It holds the power to change entire family stories,” said U of A president David Turpin, noting the money will go to the Women and Children’s Health Research Institute, the only organization in the country dedicated to the full spectrum of women and children’s health. The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation is donating $40 million, with the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation making up the addition $14.5 million. The combined donation is the largest ever given to the U of A. Institute director Dr. Sandra Davige said until recently most research was conducted on adult men, with results then applied to women and children. “Women are not smaller men, and children are not tiny adults,” she said. As an example, she points out that women metabolize medications differently, so may not get the proper dose if the amount is calculated based on data from men. Children also tend to react

to medications differently at various stages of development. Davige said that right now, 70 per cent of medication prescribed to children hasn’t been tested on young people. One of the people applauding the new money is Tanya Ennis, who was enrolled in a clinical trial run by an Institute researcher while pregnant with triplets. Now six years old, her sons laugh and play at her feet as she explains that it was thanks to that study that researchers discovered her son Liam had a congenital heart condition while she was still in her first trimester. “My heart stopped,” she said of the moment doctors told her and her husband Rob the news. But early detection meant that Liam was born already in the care of a pediatric cardiologist.

DENTAL REVIEW

Release report: Liberals Jeremy Simes

For Metro | Calgary The government still hasn’t provided an update on how it plans to help reduce dental fees, after spending nearly a year reviewing the practice in the province. On Monday, Liberal Leader Dr. David Swann held a roundtable discussion with dentists, outlining their frustrations with what he says is the Alberta Dental Association and College’s (ADAC) stringent advertising rules. He said it’s about time the government releases its review to the public, after he said Health Minister Sarah Hoffman sought his input about splitting the ADAC into two separate groups. The college, Swann said, would act like a regulator, while the association would act like a union.

Hoffman, who has the authority to split ADAC in two, said the dental health review will be made public later this year. She said the government wants to see reduced dental fees and coverage for all Albertans. “Access to affordable dental care is an ongoing challenge also related to the fact that, depending on the procedure, Albertans can pay substantially more than our neighbours in B.C. or Saskatchewan do,” she said. According to Swann, a reduction in fees may also be achieved by splitting ADAC so that members could push for favourable advertising standards without repercussions. In March, a group of Alberta dentists filed a lawsuit against ADAC for what they claim are onerous advertising restrictions. ADAC has denied the allegations and will contest them in court.

“It allowed Rob and I the ability to prepare before he was even born,” Ennis said. He had open-heart surgery as an infant and now has no trouble keeping up with his brothers. Ennis said her kids show that research makes a real difference. “As proof of this we have three happy, healthy and energetic boys.” The money will be used in three ways. One third will go to peer-reviewed grants for researchers, another third will be used for so-called ‘research catalysts’ like recruiting high-calibre researchers and matching funds. The last third will help create an incubator for health research, paying for a support team including people like nurses, co-ordinators and data management staff.

IN BRIEF Uniting the right could be a tough slog for Kenney Calgary MP Jason Kenney’s plan to come home to unite Alberta’s two right-leaning provincial parties is shaping up to be a bumpy ride. After the Tories made it clear Tuesday they are looking for a leader but aren’t keen to merge, the Wildrose caucus announced Wednesday it’s happy to link up — but only under its banner and with its leader, Brian Jean, calling the shots. Kenney declined to comment. Uniting the parties has legal challenges, given that merging parties under provincial rules would require the retiring party to hand its cash over to the province instead of to the conqueror.

Trudeau wants PM’s wife’s role modernized

Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Getty Images

Justin Trudeau summed up his first months in government with a self-congratulatory pat on the back for keeping key electoral promises to aid middle-class families, while also answering questions about the role of a prime minister’s wife. Yet in a news conference eight months after taking power, he appeared a more wary leader than the exuberant campaigner of 2015, deflecting questions, revealing little, even refusing to reiterate

certain campaign promises on tough issues still ahead. The prime minister touted his government’s quick action to bring in an income tax cut, new child benefit and a new national plan to enhance the Canada Pension Plan, even as he conceded he’s had to remind his own ministers to pace themselves for a four-year term. “We don’t have to accomplish everything immediately and we can’t expect to be able to accomplish everything within the

first few months,” Trudeau said. Trudeau also revealed he hopes that Britons — who will vote Thursday on whether to remain within the European Union — opt to stay. Trudeau also reflected on the work of wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau when asked if it was time to modernize the role and provide resources for spouses of a prime minister, such as his own. Trudeau answered in French, “Absolutely.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Syrian refugee children look out from their tent at a camp in Sidon, Lebanon on May 3, 2016. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Refugees still face delays Syrian crisis

500 families, 2,900 people, still wait to come to Canada In January, Canadian officials matched Sarah Crawford and her sponsorship group with a Syrian family in Turkey and told them the refugees could be here in as soon as four weeks. The group spent thousands of dollars renting a bungalow near Victoria Park Avenue and Ellesmere Road that sat empty for four months before the family of six finally arrived on June 1 from Istanbul. Despite the long wait and wasted rent money, Crawford’s group, Rise Again, from Rosedale United Church, is actually one of the lucky ones. Hundreds of other groups are still waiting for their families to arrive. According to Canada for Refugees, a coalition of community sponsorship groups, some 2,900 refugees, or about 500 families, who have been fully approved and are ready to travel are stuck in limbo. “We are asking the Canadian government to arrange charter flights to get these approved families to Canada quickly,” said Doug Earl, of Canada for Refugees. “The refugees are in very precarious situations in the Middle East, and there are many citizen sponsorship groups here

in Canada waiting to welcome them.” On May 9, Ottawa dispatched 40 additional staff to the Middle East to process Syrian refugee sponsorship applications, in response to a public outcry over processing delays after the government met its target of resettling 25,000 Syrians refugees by the end of February. The latest revelation of delays came just as the government wrapped up a six-week “blitz” in which officials completed 6,100 refugee interviews. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, these individuals and families will continue through the screening process, including full health and security checks. It will be another three to six months before they arrive. “While it is important to prepare for the arrival of the sponsored refugees, we encourage sponsors not to obtain permanent accommodations too far in advance,” the immigration department said Earl said the number of Syrian refugees waiting for planes to Canada is increasing by 70 a week, and in one of its members’ cases, the family was approved in late February and has yet to arrive. “Many of these families have children whose best interests would be being settled in Canada before the start of the school year,” said Earl. “For that to happen, they need to be moved now.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Brexit may be a jolly big deal, but some Canadians are worried it will sour their chances of getting sweet and savoury treats. Millions of Brits go to the polls Thursday to decide on staying in or leaving the European Union. There are huge issues at stake, from immigration to millions of jobs.

trade agreement in principle with the EU, known as CETA, but it hasn’t been ratified yet. Crina Viju, an assistant professor of European Economic Integration at Carleton University, said its future is uncertain if the U.K. pulls out. But she doubts Britain will put up any barriers to trade with Can-

ada even if it decides to fly solo. “It’s up in the air,” she said. “Everything has to be renegotiated of course. “If the U.K. will be out of the EU before the ratification happens, what kind of deal will they sign with Canada? The same? Or a better one, or a worse one? Again it’s a question,” she said.

Paul Million, owner of Mississauga’s Simply British foods, is also watching the referendum closely, and has been waiting for the free trade agreement to be ratified because it will allow him to import British meat products he hasn’t been able to sell since Mad Cow disease. “If the U.K. decides that they want to pull out than that whole thing will probably unravel,” he said. “It’s going to be a close call.”

Referendum explained On Thursday, citizens of the United Kingdom will vote in a referendum on whether their country should remain in or withdraw from the European Union. Here’s what you need to know. What’s on the ballot? The referendum question will read, “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?” Canadians can vote? Yes, if you are a Canadian citizen who currently lives in the U.K. What do polls say? According to the Financial Times’s Brexit poll tracker, it’s a neck-and-neck race, with 44 per cent in favour of remaining with the EU, 45 per cent in favour of leaving and 11 per cent undecided. Will leaving impact the economy? In the short term, a vote to leave will likely weaken the pound, and could boost the U.S. dollar as investors look for more stable currencies. There is largely consensus amongst economists that leaving the EU would have long-term negative consequences for the U.K. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Palestinian territories

Slum a mirror-image of Gaza’s plight The expansion of Gaza’s elZohor slum, where barefoot children play in the rusty skeletons of discarded vehicles surrounded by mountains of garbage, is a sign of the times in Gaza, where poverty is growing and there is little hope for the future. While Gaza has always been poor, conditions for the 1.8 million people who live in the crowded seaside territory have worsened since the Islamic militant group Hamas seized power in 2007. Soon after, Egypt and Israel, citing security concerns, imposed

a blockade on the territory in a move that had a devastating impact on the local economy. Deepening the despair, Hamas and Israel have fought three wars since the takeover. Some areas are still in ruins from the 2014 war, and thousands of people are still displaced. The UN warned last year that Gaza could become “uninhabitable” by 2020 if current trends continue. But even by Gaza standards, conditions are deplorable in the el-Zohor, or “Flowers,” neighbourhood near the city of Khan Younis in the southern part of the territory. The Associated Press

chantal hébert On TORY LEADERSHIP MANOEUVRING

Winning Quebec will not alone win anyone the Conservative leadership next spring, but being shut out of the province could be fatal — especially if Ontario splits three or four ways. On a day-to-day basis, few Parliament watchers pay attention to Lévis-Lobtinière MP Jacques Gourde. On the Hill, his main claim to fame is to have been the only Conservative from Quebec to not make the cut of Stephen Harper’s last cabinet. He spent his party’s decade in power on the backbench of the government. In the new Parliament, the scenery is different but Gourde’s role is as low-key as in the previous ones. But outside the bubble, the fourth-term MP is distinguished by his electoral resilience. In contrast with colleagues invested with more gravitas such as Michael Fortier — Harper’s handpicked senatorial minister for Montreal — or Lawrence Cannon, Josée Verner and Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Gourde kept his rural Quebec seat through challenging Conservative times. He even survived the 2011 orange wave. Gourde’s forte is organization. He cut his teeth as a volunteer for the provincial Action Démocratique du Québec party and the federal Conservatives at a time when both were facing uphill battles just to be taken seriously. In 2006 he decided to run. In that federal campaign, Gourde’s riding was one of the few places where Harper could hope to draw a decent crowd. On one visit to the rural riding, a cortege of 50 pickup trucks was reportedly on hand to provide a motorcade for

Conservative MPs are keeping their cards close to their chests. They want to see the full lineup before they commit to a camp. But Gourde has already made his choice. He is the co-chair of Maxime Bernier’s leadership campaign and more of a catch than appearances or titles would suggest. For, notwithstanding his native son status, it is hardly a given that Bernier will earn the backing of many more Quebec MPs. His penchant for taking a knife to sacred cows has not necessarily endeared him to his colleagues He once mused about doing away with the language law —

out against supply management, a program of iconic status in rural Quebec. Gourde had to scramble to explain that stance to his own constituents. He ended up softpedalling it. All of which is to say that when the time comes to collect endorsements, the Beauce MP might not be overwhelmed with Quebec caucus support. But by then, it may not matter all that much. In a one-member, one-vote leadership contest, the weight of the party establishment is infinitely less significant than in the days when so-called exofficio delegates made up as much as a third of those who voted at delegated conven-

tions. A solid organization can trump myriad high-profile endorsements. Just ask former Ontario Tory minister Christine Elliott. She had impeccable connections to the party establishment and a proven track record ... and she was trounced by federal backbencher Patrick Brown in last year’s Ontario Tory leadership vote. Could Bernier pull the same trick at the federal level? That would depend on whether his campaign has boots on the ground in the other regions. This is one operation where having support a mile wide, even if only an inch deep, is actually better than the alternative. In the Conservative leadership arithmetic, every riding is worth an equal number of points regardless of the size of its membership. Securing a solid footing in Quebec — the province with the second-highest number of seats — early on could turn Bernier into more of a force to contend with than his opponents expect or the polls suggest. Winning Quebec will not alone win anyone the Conservative leadership next spring, but being shut out of the province could be fatal — especially if Ontario splits three or four ways. While so-called big name candidates such as Jason Kenney and Peter MacKay fiddle with possible leadership bids, Bernier is preemptively locking Quebec votes. Sometimes the early bird does catch the worm!

Campus-sex-assault fight requires paradigm shift on privacy issues When universities play the privacy card in sexual assault allegations, it’s a supremely terrible look. Last week, it was Simon Fraser University’s turn to seem both heartless and spineless, the one-two punch of bad PR. To all questions asked about any details of the case of a male student accused by three female students of sexual assault — complaints more fulsomely catalogued in a series of pieces by the Vancouver Sun’s Daphne Bramham — officials responded with the mantra: “I cannot comment due to privacy concerns.” It’s a line that sounds suspiciously like obfuscation and brand management. But to be fair, universities are in a legal bind. All public institutions are governed by provincial access to information and protection of privacy laws that include broad restrictions not just for privacy, but the dissemination of any personal information. Essentially, as privacy expert and lawyer Michael Power told me, schools are prohibited from publishing details that may lead to a person being identified. Power himself would counsel this exact tight-lipped approach. But this abundance of caution is far from just. It is purely and only legally expedient, and it must change. Not only does the status quo threaten the safety of women by obscuring important information about alleged criminals, but it de facto privileges the privacy rights of said

alleged criminals over justice for victims, nevermind the school’s interest in avoiding bad press. This has been the case at schools for decades. No surprise then, evidenced by abysmal reporting rates (about one in 10 assaults), that women have noticed. We are at a turning point, where provinces are beginning to force universities to institute clear and discrete sexual assault policies. But the laws, while more thorough in Ontario than B.C., remain too weak. They require policies in only the broadest of terms, and rely on schools, historically feeble protectors of women’s safety, to magically transform into robust ones. There’s no demand to routinely collect and publish crucial data that could finally offer a truer window into the problem. And there are no requirements for universities to report sexual assault complaints to police. Nor do these bills change the balance of power on campus, which favours the privacy of alleged rapists. Sure, that’s how privacy laws have been written. But since they lead to negligent behaviour on the part of colleges, it seems high time we amend those laws to allow more transparency. If we don’t, even schools that want to be more transparent will be prevented from doing so. And the public, and most importantly survivors, will believe that, on sexual violence, schools are all lip service and no action. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

The Canadian Football League is rich in talent and culture, but for the most part fans are born into it. Maybe your grandfather was a fan, your parents follow the league or your uncle used to play. In a country where the sports landscape is growing at a rapid pace, arts and culture are thriving in major cities and the competition for peoples’ interest continues to increase, the CFL recognized the need for a change. “We want to keep the brand fresh, new and invigorated for our existing fan base,” said Commissioner Jeffery Orridge. “At the same time we need to attract the attention of the next generation of fans.” Their league-wide rebrand is a push to attract millennials with a reenergized presence both on and off the field — one that showcases the skill and athleticism of its players and features a handful of new stadiums across the country. A party in Montreal last month, featuring a late night performance by Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas, marked the launch of a new clothing deal with Adidas. More than 300 attendees packed the dance floor of Time Supper Club, staying until close, to mingle with

While our U.S. neighbours have turned football into a religion — from the Friday night lights of high school fields to the ad-strewn Super Bowl — Canadians haven’t embraced the game as much. The Canadian Football League has kicked off a new plan to create a deeper bond with younger fans to keep the game alive. Here is how they are doing it.

It’s Reilly time It was an eventful off-season for the Edmonton Eskimos and not in the way you’d expect for last year’s champs. Head coach Chris Jones departed for Saskatchewan, with the majority of his coaching staff but he left one key piece behind. Mike Reilly is poised to have the best season of his career. The 31-year-old quarterback signed an extension with the Eskimos through 2018 and is riding the momentum of a solid finish last season. After a knee injury sidelined him for most of 2015, Reilly charged back leading his team to 10-straight wins including the Grey Cup, where he was awarded the MVP title. “Our goal wasn’t to win one Grey cup. It was to build a franchise that will win year after year,” said Reilly. The big test will come when the season opens featuring rookie head coach Jason Maas. He’s 40-year old CFL veteran who is looking for redemption after losing last years Grey Cup as a coach with Ottawa. So with all of that said, the Eskimos have two important guys with a chip on their shoulder and that could just be the winning combination.

Tumbling over the edge — in a barrel debut novel

Story of quirky family pegged on daredevil waterfall stunt Sue Carter

For Metro Canada Whenever Amy Jones visits Kakabeka Falls, which isn’t far from her home in Thunder Bay, she often has a morbid thought: “What would happen if I fell in?” And that’s what happens to her character, Kate Parker, the matriarch of a dysfunctional family, in Jones’ funny but heartfelt debut novel, We’re All in This Together. Except that Kate intentionally chooses to go over the 40-metre-high falls, daredevilstyle, in a barrel. (In reality, Jones is fairly certain that no one could survive the ride.) Kate’s kamikaze-grandma stunt is captured on a video that goes viral and makes international tabloid news, pulling together

In writing the manuscript, Jones used sheets of Bristol board and coloured markers to keep track of all the various timelines and backstories. “It was a big knot that I was trying to untangle, pulling out threads,” she says. Jones always knew that she wanted her book to be set in Thunder Bay, her adopted home of six years. Many of the short stories in her first book, What Boys Like, were set in Halifax, where she grew up. “It’s become part of my trademark,” she says. “I really like writing about places.” She had observed that outside of a few exceptions, such as Michael Christie’s If I Fall, If I Die, there has been very

little northwestern Ontario literature set in an urban environment. “I feel really inspired by the city. Not in the way that people would assume — the natural landscape and the forest and the lake,” says Jones. “Really what I find fascinating about living here are the people and their tenacity. The real family connections that people have. The constant pull of needing to go or wanting to stay, and vice versa. It’s a very complex relationship with the city.” Although Jones did plenty of research about the region, even digging deep into topics such as ground erosion, she was more concerned about getting the emotional feel of Thunder Bay right. “I really did want it to reflect back what I saw and what I experienced. I tried to be as honest as I could be,” says Jones. “I didn’t think about it when I was writing, but since people have been reading the book, I feel like an ambassador.” Sue Carter is the editor at Quill & Quire magazine.

Home project

Add some buzz to your backyard with DIY tile project Transform an unfinished wood table with colourful tile and paint. Step 1: Gather supplies: • Coffee table • Tile • Paint • Wood trim • Sandpaper • Pre-mixed tile adhesive & grout • Notched trowel • Rubber grout float • Saw • Painter’s tape • Tape measure • Paintbrush • Sponge and bowl Step 2: Prep your surface. Lightly sand the wood.

Step 3: Lay out the tile Place your tile on the table surface. Allow space for grout lines (1/8” — 1/4”). Use painter’s tape to mark an outside border. Adhesive will be applied within this border. Step 4: Apply tile adhesive. Use the flat edge of the trowel to apply a thin layer of adhesive. Immediately add more and use the square comb edge to distribute it, moving in one direction. Step 5: Press tiles into place. Starting in one corner, press the first tile in place ensuring it is straight and level. Repeat with all of the tiles, pressing into place

and ensuring each and every one is straight and level. Make sure to leave space between tiles for grout lines. When you’re done, remove the painter’s tape. Clean any excess adhesive from edges with a damp rag. Let the tiles set for 24 hours. Step 6: Apply grout. Using a rubber grout float tool, apply grout to the tiles, pushing it gently into the grout lines. Ensure that the grout fills the lines and is relatively smooth. Step 7: Clean off excess. Fill a bowl or pail with water and use a damp sponge to remove excess grout from tiles. Let the

grout set before removing the cloudy looking grout haze from the tiles. Let grout dry for 24 hours before handling. Step 8: Trim. Measure and cut wood trim to finish off the edging around tile. Paint the trim with two coats. Step 9: Paint the table Apply two coats of paint to all exposed wood on the table. Let dry according to product directions. Step 10: Finish off with trim. Fasten the trim onto the table with small finishing nails or use a strong glue like Gorilla Glue.

It’s the perfect weekend project to transform a wood coffee table into a colourful tiled table. debra Norton/For torstar news

Great garden starts with plan Advice

Expert shares five tips for great landscaping

I’ve seen a lot of effort go into soil prep only to feature second-rate plants.

40 centimetres. In extreme cases, you will have to use a pick axe to do the job. Be sure your digging tools are sharp. Replace the old soil with the new triple mix and add 20 centimetres. Mound it high as it will settle over time to grade.

For Torstar News Service You see them early in the morning, travelling in herds — spectres in the mist. The first sighting usually involves a club cab pickup truck full of brightly vested, coffee-toting professionals, often with a trailer in tow, loaded with plants, equipment and dirt. Inside the cab are the implementers of the plan: The landscape plan. What are their secrets to doing great work? Here are my top five tips for a great garden installation:

1 Secure a plan When you consult with a garden designer whose full-time job is landscape/garden planning, you will learn short cuts to a greatlooking garden. To find a good

designer, go to a reliable garden retailer for a reference or an industry association. Note that they are in their high season right now, so there will likely be a wait.

2 Great dirt Would you build a house without a foundation? Of course not. Buy

the very best soil you can to create a home for the roots of your new plants. What soil? “Triple mix.” There is really good and really bad triple mix out there, and for the most part you will get what you pay for. Ask an experienced gardener or a high-quality garden retailer

to steer you toward a reliable soil supplier.

3 Dig down The area where you wish to create new planting beds needs proper preparation. This is grunt work, no kidding. If you have clay-based soil, dig down 30 to

5 Dig wide, plant high Plant trees more wide than deep. Most trees spread their roots horizontally rather than straight down. If the root mass of the plant is 50 centimetres deep, dig the hole about 60 centimetres deep and line the hole with enough new soil that the plant stands several centimetres above grade once planted. Make sure water runs away from it. In the long run, the tree will thank you with excellent performance. Mark Cullen is an expert gardener, author and broadcaster. Follow him on Twitter @MarkCullen4.

4 Buy quality plants I’ve seen a lot of effort go into soil prep only to feature secondrate plants. When shopping for annuals, look for dark green foliage and not too many flowers. The pot should not be more than 60 per cent roots — if it is root bound, with roots twirling around the inside of the pot, pass on it. Perennials grow surprisingly quickly, so avoid the one- and two-gallon specimens if you want to save money. Trees, shrubs and evergreens

should look healthy, with no yellowing leaves. Slipping them carefully out of the pot to examine the roots is a good idea. Be respectful that the retailer has to sell the plant if you don’t buy it.

‘Mad House’ exhibit straddles art, design creativity

Studio Job show celebrates the absurd Imagine a house containing a towering bronze pitchfork and shovel that will never be used for gardening; a working vacuum cleaner — topped with the gilded bust of a horse — that will never clean floors; and an oversize saucepan (made of crystal, bronze, wood and gilding) that will never find its way to the stove. The art and design duo known as Studio Job specialize in creating works inspired by household goods but never intended for use. Now, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York has transformed two floors into a Studio Job Mad House, featuring some of these eye-popping designs. The exhibit, which runs through Aug. 21, is set up as an imaginary house of an imaginary collector of Studio Job’s works. It exudes a sense of history, fantasy, irony and

opulence. The design team, founded in 1998, is composed of Belgian conceptual and 3D designer Job Smeets and Dutch graphic designer Nynke Tynagel. Their works straddle art and design, and nod to medieval traditions of patronage by producing monumental works in highend materials like bronze, crystal and gold. “They tend to react to what is common and do the exact opposite, challenging the perception of what is normal,” says Ronald Labaco, a senior curator at the museum who organized the exhibit. The works, many commissioned by patrons, rely on ancient crafts like bronze casting, gilding, marquetry,

stained glass and faience, all with a contemporary perspective. The designs often draw from pop culture (like the movie “King Kong”). The New York installation features 57 pieces, including sculpture, lighting, furniture, floor covering, wallpaper, drawings and other works produced over the past 16 years. Adding to the sense of entering a realm of the unreal, the museum’s wood flooring has been covered in a vinyl covering that Tynagel designed to resemble a sort of cartoon of a wood floor. The walls are covered in her brick-themed, grey-and-white wallpaper, which vaguely resembles the inside of a medieval castle. The pieces in the exhibit are organized along loose, sometimes contradictory ideas, such as love/lust, agrarian/ preindustrial and church/religion. “The idea is to create a kind of dialogue between the works,” Labaco says.

Same goal, different personnel Eskimos season preview

Edmonton eyes Grey Cup repeat after off-season of big changes The Edmonton Eskimos won it all in 2015, but the odds of repeating that feat appear daunting in 2016. Edmonton’s Grey Cup winning coaching staff bolted, as did core members of its dominating defence. Only two other teams have back-to-back Grey Cup wins in a generation, and this year every opponent will bring its A-game to make a statement or settle a score. In other words, says Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly, situation normal. “Since the time that I’ve been here (in Edmonton) I feel like we’ve always kind of been the team in the league where they’re like ‘Well they got some talent but …’” said Reilly. “I love that people are going to be gunning for us every single week.” The Eskimos begin and end with Reilly, the unquestioned leader who is now in his fourth year as the starting quarterback. The 31-year-old came back from a shredded left knee last season to lead the Eskimos to 10 straight wins, capped by the Grey Cup victory over Ottawa. Reilly is known for making plays with his arm, and extending plays with his feet. But under new head coach Jason Maas, things will change a bit. Maas is stressing an up-

tempo offence and while Reilly will still run when necessary, he won’t be running very often as part of the playbook. Part of that is to keep Reilly healthy. He’s had serious injuries in each of the last three seasons: concussion, broken foot and the knee. Reilly’s got some weapons to throw to, starting with receivers Adarius Bowman and Derel Walker. Bowman was second in receiving in the CFL last year, recording 93 catches for 1,304 yards and seven TDs.

We don’t get the sense at all that the guys are not ready to roll. Jason Maas

Walker came off the practice roster after six games and lit the league on fire, making 89 catches and leading all receivers with a 92.5 yards per game average. He had six touchdowns and was

named rookie of the year. At running back, John White returns from a year off due to an Achilles injury and hopes to repeat his impressive numbers from 2014, when he carried the ball 123 times for 852 yards. Edmonton’s defence was downright dominating in 2015, allowing less than 19 points a game on average. That will be difficult to duplicate in 2016 as key members of the defence have left to try their fortunes in the NFL: defensive back Aaron Grymes (Philadelphia), linebacker Dexter McCoil (San Diego), and defensive end Willie Jefferson (Washington). Linebacker and nickelback Otha Foster has gone to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The secondary may have been the hardest hit. The loss of Grymes was compounded in training camp when John Ojo, the team’s leader in interceptions last year with five, went down for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Meanwhile, veterans Pat Watkins and Marcell Young missed time in training camp with injuries. THE CANADIAN PRESS

And now at the helm The coaching staff is led by Jason Maas, a former Eskimos quarterback and the offensive coordinator of the Redblacks last year. He took over after former coach Chris Jones and almost his entire coaching staffing took their Grey Cup rings and moved to Regina. Former B.C. head coach Mike Benevides is the defensive co-ordinator.

NHL

Board of governors all in on Las Vegas The NHL is officially rolling the dice on Las Vegas. Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league’s board of governors has accepted an expansion bid from Las Vegas with the new team to begin play in the 2017-18 season. He said Wednesday’s vote was unanimous. “We think this is a tremendously exciting opportunity, not just for Las Vegas, but for the league,” Bettman said. “This expansion comes at a time when our game is more competitive than ever, ownership is strong-

er than ever, the player base is more talented than ever and the business, and the future opportunities for the business, are greater than ever.” The board also decided to defer QueGary Bettman bec City’s bid, Getty images despite the city having a brand new arena as part of its application to become the 31st NHL franchise.

tuation of the Canadian dollar and the league’s geographical imbalance — there are currently 16 teams in the Eastern Conference

compared to 14 in the West — were factors that worked against Quebec City’s bid. “There is no doubt as to the passion for NHL hockey in Quebec City, there is no doubt as to the suitability of the Videotron Centre as a home arena for a team, and there is no doubt to the ownership credentials ... of Quebecor, which has been an outstanding partner,” Bettman said. The Las Vegas franchise will begin to populate its roster with an expansion draft prior to the 2017-18 season. The Canadian Press

Group stage ends

Iceland, Ireland etch names in tournament lore

In Lille Robbie Brady became an Irish legend.

Ireland advanced to the knockout stages of the European Championship for the first time after it beat a reshuffled Italian side 1-0 on Wednesday. An 85th minute late goal from Robbie Brady was enough for the spirited Ireland side to secure a place in the round of 16 as one of the best third-place teams. Its reward — a match against France in Lyon on Sunday. “It was very special. I am

In Saint-Denis Arnor Ingvi Traustason’s goal gave Iceland a most unlikely win over Austria. In Lyon Cristiano Ronaldo scored two in a 3-3 draw with Hungary. In Nice Zlatan Ibrahimovic played his final international match in Sweden’s a 1-0 loss to Belgium. getty Images

Mets hang on to top Royals minus aching Syndergaard Even when the Mets win lately, it hurts. Noah Syndergaard left his start after six innings with a sore elbow and Yoenis Cespedes came out because of an aching wrist, yet New York held off the Kansas City Royals 4-3 Wednesday for a twogame sweep in their World Series rematch. An MRI showed no structural damage and Syndergaard receive antiinflammatory medication and was cleared to resume normal activities, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said. The Associated Press

thrilled, it was a great win,” Ireland coach Martin O’Neill said. “We deserved to win. We played some phenomenal stuff. There wasn’t a player in the Irish shirt that didn’t play heroically.” Italy was already assured of top spot in Group E after two straight group wins. Brady’s goal was just reward for an inspired performance by the Ireland team, which needed to win to get through. His goal, which stemmed from a cross by second-half substitute Wes Hoolahan, came just mo-

ments after Hoolahan himself had missed a golden chance to put Ireland ahead. Iceland, the smallest nation at the Euros, delivered the feelgood story of the tournament by beating Austria 2-1 to qualify for the round of 16. The victory, secured by a goal deep into stoppage time by Arnor Ingvi Traustason, earned Iceland’s players the game they’d dreamed of: A last-16 match against England. “I have always supported England in the big international tournaments, when we haven’t been playing,” Iceland defender Kari Arnason said. “It’s a dream come true.” The tiny island nation of barely 330,000 people was expected to struggle in France. Instead, Iceland finished second in Group F on five points, unbeaten and above Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. Ronaldo’s two strikes helped Portugal earn a 3-3 draw with Hungary, sending both teams through. And a 1-0 loss to Belgium spelled the end of Sweden’s run in France. The Associated Press

Cards wisen up to ace Arrieta’s ways Hitters are adjusting to Jake Arrieta. Now the Chicago Cubs ace has to counter. Arrieta laboured through five innings, Michael Wacha pitched into the seventh for his first win in nearly two months and the St. Louis Cardinals roughed up Chicago’s bullpen in a 7-2 victory Wednesday at Wrigley Field. Aledmys Diaz hit a two-run home run, and Matt Carpenter had a two-run double in a five-run sixth after Arrieta (112) departed. “It’s adjusting the game plan slightly,” Arrieta said. “Just going a different route and being aggressive early and putting the hitter in a hole versus being in 1-0, 2-0 counts. That’s what they want. They’re taking the first pitch hoping I’m outside the strike zone. “I’ll adjust accordingly.”

The Cards won their eighth straight road game — their longest streak since 1982 — and completed their first three-game sweep at Wrigley since 1988. They had a patient approach, drawing four walks off Arrieta and making the NL Cy Young Award winner throw 106 pitches. “We grinded one through nine,” Carpenter said. “Even Wacha had a pretty long at-bat (seven pitches) against him. We worked his pitch count and had runners on base.” The fifth inning was a prime example. A single and two walks loaded the bases with one out when Stephen Piscotty hit a grounder to third. Chicago second baseman Ben Zobrist’s relay throw to first was a onehopper and first baseman Anthony Rizzo couldn’t dig it out for the double play, and two runs scored on the error. Wacha (3-7) allowed two hits until rookie Willson Contreras’ one-out, two-run homer in the seventh ended his day. He snapped a seven-game skid. The Associated Press
