Crossing that bridge...

KEVIN TUONG/FOR METRO

It’s a bridge that everyone has an idea for, and everyone in Edmonton a stake in, making it perhaps the most valuable piece of real estate in the city. And yet the future of the High Level Bridge isn’t set in stone. Here’s why: Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton

Fight for the upper deck

The Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society recently floated an idea with roots in a 1990s proposal of creating bike paths along the upper deck of the High Level Bridge, in response to the new suicide barriers that have made cycling paths on the lower deck narrower. But they’re not the only one eyeing the space. The provincial government holds a right of way for the up-

per deck, which it could use for a high-speed rail line running between Calgary and Edmonton. Rob Gillard, the city’s director of facility and capital planning, said the province can claim it, but the deal is under review. “We have granted them the ability to, with 24 months notice, they can exercise their right to the bridge and use the upper deck for whatever purpose they want,” he said. But the city also wants the upper deck — as it’s under consideration for use for the upper deck for the “Downtown circu-

lator,” a proposed LRT line that would run through the downtown and Old Strathcona. Gibbard said the city could look at other options for the line, but the High Level offers many benefits.

Bike congestion

Chris Chan, executive director of the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society, said the high-speed rail notion isn’t practical in the long term. Instead, he said, it makes sense to use the upper deck for a park with trails. “That is going to be hard and

expensive and you are not going to have a train moving fast all the way through Edmonton,” he said. Chan said any new path would be years away. In the short term, his group hopes the city does something to prevent cyclists from colliding with the new posts for the suicide barrier. “We have had a lot of reports of injuries and collisions, including some fairly serious ones with these new railings,” he said. Chan said the Society is proposing bumper pieces over the posts that would at least stop

people from hitting them head on. The bridge sees up to 3,000 cyclists crossing per day. Coun. Ben Henderson said he received concerns about congestion on the High Level even before the barriers went up. “There is no question the suicide barriers have made it worse and that’s annoying because I think it was an avoidable problem.” Henderson said the city should have done more to talk to cyclists and the problem could likely have been caught early on.

Future work

The bridge was built starting in 1910, meaning it’s due for a major overhaul in about 10 years. Gibbard said trying to allocate all the space on the city’s only bridge that runs from top of one river bank to the other is a challenge. “There are a lot of pedestrian crossings, with the trolley line on top and maybe a future High Speed Rail, and maybe a future LRT all trying to use it,” he said. He said when the city will look at all those things and solve as many issues as they can.

Bishop ‘relieved’ after gay marriage vote reversed Religion

Clergy vote’s narrow defeat of change overturned Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton An Edmonton bishop who stood against her church’s “no” vote on authorizing gay marriage was relieved to see the result dramatically overturned this week. “To be totally honest, I’m exhausted,” Bishop Jane Alexander said Thursday. All three houses of the church across Canada had to vote at two-thirds in favour of the resolution to authorize same-sex marriage in order for it to pass Monday. Bishops voted 68.42 per cent in favour and laypeople 72.22 per cent, but the clergy’s vote came in at 66.23, falling just short. After the initial result, Alexander took to Facebook to say she felt “sick at heart” and wanted her church to be broad and inclusive. The next day, an error was discovered that reversed the result. Alexander applauded the Synod (a governing body of the church), saying she believes all people are made in God’s image and does not view being gay, transgender or two-spirited as a choice. “I think when people have good conversations and can talk about relationships, rather than just sexuality or sexual acts, that we manage to find

Delinquent parents make bail Bail has been granted to a former Alberta couple convicted of failing to get proper medical treatment for their son who died of meningitis. A jury in Lethbridge, Alta. found David and Collet Stephan guilty in April of failing to provide the necessaries of life to 19-month-old Ezekiel. The parents treated the boy with hot pepper, garlic, onions and horseradish instead of taking him to a doctor, and only called an ambulance after he stopped breathing in 2012. Both parties agreed to several bail conditions, including that the parents take their three children to a doctor within two weeks and follow all medical advice. If their children are injured or show any signs of illness, the parents are also to take them immediately to a licensed doctor or health nurse. The Canadian Press

space for each other and we come to a better understanding,” she said. Two members of her church in particular stood out during the debate. One was a genderneutral person who said they see the church as their family, and the other was a gay person who said their own father only looks at them in disgust. “That absolutely broke my heart,” Alexander said. “The church has to say, ‘No, you are a

beloved child of God and that’s how it is.’ ” Alexander believes it is important to continue discussions with members who have opposing views, admitting the church is “continually stretched.”

The Anglican canon does not specifically prohibit gay marriage, and the Edmonton diocese voted several years ago to allow blessing of the marriages — though actually conducting them in the church is

For most of us, our understanding of God is that all the new things we know still fit with our understanding of who God is. We have to keep growing with it.”

One of the co-chairs of an oilsands panel appointed by the Alberta government says most of the members have already been meeting for a couple years. Tzeporah Berman says 10 of the 15 members of the Oilsands Advisory Group began meeting about two years ago on their own. She says they were trying to get past the exchange of media sound bites and look for common ground. Berman says those informal discussions also helped lead to the province’s climate-change strategy, announced last year. The Canadian Press

Insp. Don Coleman

Metro | Calgary The body of five-year-old Taliyah Marsman was found by police in a field east of Calgary, hours after an intensive search began, ending an Amber Alert lasting nearly two days. Charged with first-degree murder is Edward Downey, 46, of Calgary, who was known to Sara Baillie, Taliyah Marsman and her dad Colin Marsman, police said. Baillie was found dead in her Panorama home late Monday after family had reported to police that she hadn’t shown up for work. Her daughter, Taliyah Marsman, was reported missing at that time. An Amber Alert was issued at 1:40 a.m. There were eyewitness re-

ports that Taliyah had been seen earlier that Monday with a stocky black male. Police now believe that both Sara and Taliyah were killed before police became

involved. Calgary police Insp. Don Coleman said that the area east of Calgary, near the community of Delacour where the body was found, was still

for work. Officers find Baillie’s body in the basement suite where she lived with Taliyah.

Thursday 2:30 p.m. Police are now calling the man in custody a suspect and say he is offering “zero co-operation.” They say he has an “extensive criminal history” and was known to both Taliyah’s mother and father.

Timeline of developments

Feds announce $24M in Elk Island upgrades conservation

National park to get improved infrastructure, visitor services Alex Boyd

Metro | Edmonton The federal government announced $24 million in funds Wednesday for infrastructure at Elk Island National Park east of Edmonton. It’s the biggest influx of cash in years, according to Norman Stolle, resource conservation manager for the northern prairies field unit, which includes Elk Island. “It allows us to work that has

been sitting there probably for decades,” he said. “A lot of the facilities here were developed in the 1970s, so they’re worn and tired, it’ll bring things up to what the Canadian public expects.” Almost half of the money is earmarked for upgrades to access roads within the park. Facilities for visitors will also be refurbished, like the visitor areas at Astotin Lake and the visitor centre at the park gates. General infrastructure, like the boundary fence and wastewater facilities will also be up-

graded. Work has already started on some projects, and will continue for five years. Initially created as a wildlife sanctuary for elk in 1906, Elk Island is now a national park that is home to herds of both plains and wood bison that have helped with bison conservation efforts around the world. While none of the new work will directly impact the bison herds, Stolle said all of the work is being done with an eye to sustainability and reducing human-wildlife interactions, which will be positive for the

ecology of the park. Stolle said visits to the park have risen “dramatically” in recent years, with about 317,000 people coming through the gates in 2015 to camp, picnic and boat. That’s a 30 per cent increase over the previous year. He said the park, located about 50 kilometres east of Edmonton, is increasingly popular with newcomers and urbanites, and often functions as a starter park where people can try out camping or hiking. “We look at it as learn-to park — you can learn to camp, you can learn to hike, you can learn to be in the environment, and not feel like you’re too far away,” Stolle said. The federal government is currently putting $3 billion into park infrastructure across the country.

Rock Jungle Fitness opens location here Bouldering is climbing into downtown Edmonton A new bouldering gym at 107 Street and 105 Avenue is being opened by Rock Jungle Fitness, a local company that already has a west end location and a CrossFit gym on Jasper Ave. Targeting hard-core climbers and newbies alike, the new 10,000 square foot location features a custom built-in-Europe

wall designed for the rope-less style of climbing known as bouldering. As the name implies, bouldering is modelled after scrambling over big rocks outside, so it’s less about climbing up high. “The way it differs from what people think of rock climbing is the wall is a lot shorter and it’s less about having the strength to get to the top, and more about

using your mind to solve the problem that’s on the wall,” said manager Ty Parsons. Indoor rock climbing has been on the rise for about a decade, Parsons said, both as way to train for outdoor climbing and as a fun way to stay in shape. He added that while Edmonton has several full climbing gyms, this is the first bouldering-

specific facility in the city centre. “It’s definitely more accessible to people, most people start off with bouldering. “All you need is climbing shoes, you don’t need a lot of the gear.” The new bouldering gym opens Friday, and will have both memberships and drop-in prices. A café will open inside soon. ALEX BOYD/Metro

TappCar to absorb taxi company Transportation

Aaron Taxi’s owner says he’s going where industry goes Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton A St. Albert Taxi company is becoming a part of TappCar. After 20 years as a cab company, Aaron Taxi’s entire fleet will become part of the TappCar company, beginning immediately, with all of its drivers and vehicles changing over. Owner Jean Pierre Cloutier said it made sense to move where the industry is going because it’s providing good service to customers. “My priorities with Aaron Taxi were to have the best taxi in St. Albert for the people of St. Albert,” he said. “I can see where this is going and I feel like TappCar is the only way for us to be able to provide

for the citizens of St. Albert.” Cloutier said that without an Edmonton taxi licence, his cars are currently restricted from picking up customers in the city. He added sometimes his fleet isn’t big enough for major events but he can’t just increase it. “Buying 15 cars that might not be in operation the next week because the demand is changing is a little bit difficult,” he said. He said Aaron Taxi is currently operating nine vehicles, most of which will become TappCar vehicles, but others will be phased out. The business has been in place for 20 years, with Cloutier running it for the last three. He will now take a position as TappCar’s chief operating officer. He said he was impressed that TappCar entered as a rideshare company but didn’t attempt to flout the laws. “TappCar has been following every rule that there is,” he said. “That’s the same way I was operating my business.”

Church-goers view less porn: Study

As a religious man who has occasionally watched porn, Kyler Rasmussen wanted to learn more about how going to church may have affected his upbringing. Last week, University of Calgary researchers outlined a study that suggests young people who attend religious services are less likely to view porn. Rasmussen, lead author of the study, said the increase in porn consumption as adolescents age isn’t as drastic among young people who attend religious services. He said the reason is largely due to specific morals that can be developed by community members who go to church. “Just sitting in a pew and listening to a pastor speak is probably not the most important aspect of it,” he said.

“What’s probably more important is that you’re internalizing what you’re hearing, that you are able to take that into your life and care about it.” The study, conducted with data collected between 2003 and 2008 that surveyed young people aged 13 to 24, found that porn consumption spikes with age, especially among men. The data obtained for the study was obtained from the National Study of Youth and Religion, which was spearheaded by researchers in the United States. Alex Bierman, co-author of the study, said porn has a number of unhealthy images that could hamper the development of a healthy sexuality. “I think the issue is that there’s often a large history of misogyny in porn,” he said. jeremy simes/for metro

Alberta Health trying to cut hospital costs spending

Government stresses that there will be no job losses Jeremy Simes

For Metro | Calgary The Alberta government has been reviewing the province’s hospitals in hopes of determining where savings can be made as health spending grows during the economic downturn. On Thursday, Ministry of Health spokeswoman Laura Ehrkamp said the government has been working with Alberta Health Services (AHS) to determine operational best practices, which include staffing (scheduling, shift rotations and overtime management), readmission rates, infection rates, procurement processes, supply costs and drug costs. Ehrkamp said the province’s greatest health care costs are hospital services, drug costs and physicians. She said the review is being conducted by what the ministry calls comparators, where similar provincial hospitals are grouped with similar-sized health care centres in Ontario. The hospital groups are then compared based on operational best practices criteria. “Where Alberta facilities compare favourably, there will be no

changes,” Ehrkamp said. “Where we can do better, we will make changes to improve care and reduce costs.” She stressed any changes won’t result in job losses. “Any staff changes will take place through attrition or redeployment,” Ehrkamp said. “Operational best practice is an important initiative to improve care, reduce costs and ensure a sustainable public health care system that Albertans can rely on.” Sandra Azocar, executive director with Friends of Medicare, said the organization welcomes the government’s move to review

hospitals. “I think, through the advocacy that we do, that front-line is not where you can find efficiencies,” Azocar said. “I’m hoping by looking into other areas, where we can find appropriate efficiencies, that the outcome would be that we have services available to all the people in the province.” AHS spokesman Bruce Conway said the comparators timeline will be ongoing. “This is part of our normal practice now,” Conway said. “We began with our larger hospitals and this work is now underway in our corporate services port-

folios as well as clinical support services.” Conway said the initiative had an initial one-time cost of $131,000 to hire a consultant to kick start the work. However, AHS has since done the rest of the work in house, he added. Although there have been costs associated with the initiative, Ehrkamp said the province expects greater savings to be had. “We have already achieved success in this area as our current budget has a health care increase of three per cent, with even slower growth forecast for the following years,” she said.

Oilsands

Tailings ponds face new regulations

The Alberta Energy Regulator has introduced new rules that it says will ultimately remove unsightly and toxic tailings ponds from the oilsands mining region of northeastern Alberta. CEO Jim Ellis says companies with tailings ponds will face new reporting and progressive reclamation requirements, with all ponds to be removed within 10 years of the end of a mine’s life.

The AER’s new directive replaces tailings ponds regulations, put in place in 2009, that industry claimed it couldn’t comply with. AER spokeswoman Tracie Moore says the earlier directive was suspended in March of 2015 and has now been rescinded. Alberta Energy estimated oilsands mining projects had created about 220 square kilometres of tailings ponds by the end of 2013. The ponds

are used to store water needed to separate heavy bitumen crude from sand and other impurities and contain water, silt, leftover bitumen and solvents. They have long been one of the industry’s toughest environmental challenges. Under the new rules, operators are required to submit fluid tailings management applications to the AER by Nov. 1. The applications are to be reviewed over the win-

ter and a second version of the directive, with updated surveillance and compliance processes, is to be finalized by next spring. Ellis says the new directive is based on consultation with a committee made up of oilsands operators, First Nations, Métis communities, oilsands region municipal officials and environmental organizations.

With the 102 Avenue Bridge set to finally open for traffic Friday, the 124 Street Grand Market will stay exactly where it is for the rest of the summer. The market moved to 102 Avenue between, 123 and 124 Street, this year because of construction on its usual home of 108 Avenue. When the bridge opens there will be more traffic to move around the market Thursday nights, but Kirsta Franke, the market’s director, said they can work with it. “It doesn’t change anything for us. We are still going to remain there with the road closure every Thursday from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.,” she said. Franke said the city has looked at the issue and most traffic use 124 Street to get to 102 Avenue and onto the bridge.

Jeff McLaren, with the 124 Street Business Improvement Area, said having the road reopened will boost businesses in the area who have felt the pain over the last two years. “It’s not the sole reason why some of the businesses have closed down, but it definitely impacted in conjunction with the economic downturn.” The 102 Avenue bridge over Groat Road was delayed by almost a year after several girders bent during installation last spring, forcing the contractor to remove them and re-install them. The revised timeline for the bridge saw work being complete in September of this year. The bridge should be open by 10 a.m. Friday morning. Holly Budd, a spokesperson for the city confirmed the contractor is going to pay a penalty of $11,500 a day for the delay from Oct. 15 last year to Friday. There will also be additional fines until the bridge is fully complete later this fall. The project still has to install railings and take other steps, which could result in closures.

Groping doctor sentenced to 30 days in jail An Edmonton-area doctor has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for sexually assaulting a co-worker. The co-worker said Ismail Taher, 38, touched her breasts and buttocks in 2013. Taher was given a

suspended sentence for common assault on another female co-worker, also in 2013. Last month, the Alberta Court of Appeal denied Taher’s appeal of a sexual assault conviction on an 18-year-old patient. The Canadian Press

Dancers to storm the legislature grounds arts

Toy Guns Dance Theatre lead interactive event Saturday Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton The hills on the Alberta legislature grounds will be alive with the sound of music Saturday. Toy Guns Dance Theatre will helm Dancing in the Park, a firsttime interactive song-and-dance experience, starting at 7 p.m. near the southern bandshell. The evening will start with a roving swing band that audience members will follow through the park from performance to performance, stopping for a swing dance lesson and dance party that will go until 10 p.m. or later. Toy Guns artistic director Jake Hastey said the event already has

would totally go to that party.’” Toy Guns hatched the idea three months ago after being flown out to perform in a similar but smaller event in Guelph, Ont. Hastey specifically wanted to do something that would connect with the broader community and draw in people who aren’t

used to attending dance shows. Other dance companies — Hit That Jive, CRIPSiE and Let’s Swing Dance — got in on the fun, bringing together a team of award-winning dance artists from across the country. “The unifying factor that we’ve found is this passion for dance and wanting to share that love with the Edmonton community, and I think that’s this group of people,” Hastey said. “An event like this doesn’t often come together in just a few months, and certainly not in the way this one has, where the intersecting communities all supporting each other and the event in such a huge way.” Toy Guns is slated to open a professional dance school in Edmonton in 2017 to fill a void left by the closing of MacEwan University’s program a decade ago. Saturday’s event will go ahead rain or shine, but the weather forecast looks promising with Environment Canada calling for 24 C and sunshine. Admission is by donation.

Site to help dementia care health

Reviews will aid in deciding which GPS device to buy Alex Boyd

Metro | Edmonton More than half of adults with Alzheimer’s or dementia will wander away from home at some point. But while GPS devices to keep track of people could be the next big thing, there remains a huge knowledge gap about which device to buy and why. That’s why Lili Liu, chairwoman of occupational therapy at the University of Alberta, is in the process of creating a website that will function like the Yelp of locator devices. It’s also why she’s just gotten a $20,000 grant from AGEWELL to bring it to the public. “There are all kinds of information that the consumer may not ask about,” Liu said, such

as range, price, battery life and customer service provided. “We’re hoping to capture all of the basic relevant information people need but don’t know to ask,” she said.

Liu said GPS locators have tremendous potential to help not only dementia patients who wander away, but people with mental health issues, or children with autism.

The devices, which start at about $275 and usually have some kind of monthly fee, allow people to move around without a caregiver hovering over them constantly.

Liu spoke of a man who participated in one of her studies who got a GPS device and upon moving into a nursing home, staff continued to monitor him that way, meaning he was able to walk around and participate in activities as long as he didn’t go too far. “If it wasn’t for the device he’d have been on a floor that was completely locked,” she said. But buying the best device isn’t easy, Liu said, noting that dementia organizations field a lot of questions about the subject. There aren’t many companies in Canada right now, she said, meaning people often go online, where they’re not able to tell which devices function in Canada, or function well at all. The technology is also changing quickly. Liu said a flood of new products will enter the market in coming years, making it even tougher. The website will launch in December. In 2010, almost 1,365 Canadians with dementia were reported missing, by 2014 this had increased to 1,528.

BEER BRIEF Tax has B.C. craft brewers sudsing British Columbia’s craft brewers say the Alberta government’s changes to beer mark-ups are a “shocking” disappointment. Last fall, the government lowered beer mark-ups for small brewers from British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to between $0.10 and $0.55 per litre. That drew a response from craft brewers from other parts of the country, who called the changes unfair. One brewer even took legal action. This week, Alberta announced a new system that would come into place next week and charge a uniform $1.25 per litre to brewers regardless of their size or where the beer is coming from. The government has promised instead a grant program for Alberta brewers. Ken Beattie, executive director of the British Columbia Craft Brewers Guild, said the changes are disappointing and will hurt people in the industry. MEtro

Expand treatment for depression: Study David P. Ball

Metro | Vancouver Here’s a depressing statistic: one in every 20 Canadians has the symptoms of major depression. But even worse, fewer than half of them actually get even the most minimal treatment for the condition, according to a new study in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. Its author Joseph Puyat, a researcher at the Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences, examined data from Statistics Canada as well as B.C.’s medical billing records and found a huge gap between people’s mental health and getting the help they need. “People have suspected that we could do so much more to provide support and service,” said the doctoral candidate at the University of British Columbia’s school of population and public health. “But I didn’t realize the magnitude or extent of the gap.

“We found that about 47 per cent of people diagnosable with depression are not getting adequate treatment.” When it comes to mental health, Canada’s public system Medicare only covers psychiatrists and physicians — not psychologists, psychotherapists or counsellors. Puyat said many front-line doctors either lack the time or aren’t trained to offer therapy, while psychiatrists often have long waitlists. “Antidepressants and counselling or psychotherapy are the first line of treatment for depression,” Puyat said. “But if the treatment preferred is prohibitive, (patients) may forgo treatment altogether, which could lead to the worsening of symptoms. Although those who can afford treatment can pay out-ofpocket to see a psychologist or therapist, financial constraints mean that for 80 to 90 per cent of patients with depression symptoms, a family doctor remains the primary care provided.

The problem with depression is not just at the individual level. It has a lot of impacts economically and socially. Joseph Puyat IN BRIEF Snakes found in mail A slithering surprise was discovered in a package mailed from China at the B.C. Canada Post distribution centre last week. A spokesman says three venomous mountain pit vipers were inside a package destined. Two of the snakes were dead, while the third had escaped its container and was found in a larger box. The Canadian Press

Army headed for Africa Canada’s army will soon be bound for Africa, Canada’s top soldier said Thursday, fuelling speculation that it will be deployed on a peacekeeping operation to control the spread of terrorism on the continent. “The army’s been preparing for the future,” said Gen.

Augmented reality

Police warn against playing Pokémon Go while on move Police forces across Canada are warning of the risks involved in playing augmented reality games such as Pokémon Go as reports mount of people getting injured or landing in trouble as they play the wildly popular game. The cellphone-based game sends players into the real world to search for digital monsters known as Pokémon, who appear on screen when users hold up their iPhones or Android devices in various locations at various times. While not officially released

in Canada yet, many residents have found workarounds to access the game that’s become a blockbuster hit since launching in the United States, Australia and New Zealand last week. Police forces, however, are worried about the game luring people into potentially dangerous situations and are cautioning players to use their common sense. In Quebec City, police said two officers suffered minor injuries when a car they observed driving strangely reversed into their cruiser in a parking lot. “The driver said ‘I’m sorry, I was playing Pokémon Go,”’ said Const. Nancy Roussel, who said police are calling on players to be aware of their surroundings. “Be careful, watch out, even if you are in a car, on your feet or on a bicycle, be careful and watch

where you’re going, please.” Every time the Pokémon Go app is opened, a warning from game maker Niantic pops up, telling players to be aware of their surroundings. Players must also agree to fine print saying they cannot enter private property without permission. There’s also a disclaimer that says Niantic is not liable for any property damage, injuries or deaths that result while playing. But despite the warnings, some people playing the game have wandered into private yards, driveways, cemeteries and, in one U.S. case, even an off-limits police parking lot in search of the

app’s cartoon monsters. Some police forces have also been employing the hashtag #DontCatchAndDrive as players roam community streets. “Please do not look for #Pokémon while driving. If you’ve gotta catch ‘em all, do so safely. #DontCatchAndDrive,” tweeted Edmonton police. Winnipeg police and Manitoba RCMP sent out similar missives, urging players to be responsible. South of the border, police in the U.S. have cautioned players that trespassers could get arrested or worse, especially if they cross paths with an armed property owner. THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘A scene of horror’

Nice, France

Truck ploughs through Bastille Day revellers, killing dozens A truck loaded with weapons and hand grenades drove onto a sidewalk for more than a mile, plowing through Bastille Day revellers who’d gathered to watch fireworks in the French resort city of Nice late Thursday. At least 80 people were killed and 50 wounded before police killed the driver, authorities said. Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre described a horrific scene, with bodies strewn about along the roadway and Sylvie Toffin, a press officer with the local prefecture, said the truck ran over

people on a “long trip” down the sidewalk near Nice’s Palais de la Mediterranee, a building that fronts the beach. Wassim Bouhlel, a Nice native who spoke to the AP nearby, said that he saw a truck drive into the crowd. “There was carnage on the road,” he said. “Bodies everywhere.” He said the driver emerged with a gun and started shooting. Nice regional president Eric Ciotti said on France Info radio that “it’s a scene of horror.” The Paris prosecutor’s office opened an investigation for “murder, attempted murder in an organized group linked to a terrorist enterprise.” Images being broadcast across French media showed revellers running for their lives down Nice’s palm tree-lined Promen-

In what appeared to be evidence of a gun battle, photos showed a truck with at least half a dozen bullet holes punched through its windshield. It was not immediately clear who would have been behind an attack, but France has recently seen a spate of dramatic assaults from by jihadist groups, including the Daesh group that straddles Iraq and Syria. President Francois Hollande said in a televised statement that all of France was under an “Islamist terrorist threat” and extended by three months a state of emergency that has been in place since the November attacks that killed

Americans fear their options

The vast majority of Americans say they are afraid of at least one of the two major candidates — Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump — winning the White House, a remarkable finding that reflects an unsettled nation unhappy with its choice. Eighty-one per cent of Americans say they would feel afraid following the election of one of the two polarizing politicians, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. That includes a quarter who say it doesn’t matter who wins: they’re scared of both.

Three-quarters of voters say their pick for president is motivated by a desire to cast their Election Day ballot against Clinton or Trump, more than those who say they’re voting for the candidate who shares their positions on the issues or is the most qualified to hold the office. Said Dennis Fernandez, 67, of Florence, Ariz.: “If Hillary Clinton won, I’d probably consider suicide. I’m definitely not a fan.” And Lawrence James, 55, of Durham, N.C., said: “If Trump wins, well, we’ve al-

ready checked out Malta and New Zealand. I’m just not comfortable that he’s not going to make rushed, uninformed decisions.” Trump postponed his plan to name his running mate Friday in the wake of the Nice attacks. On the eve of the summer’s political conventions, at which the general election campaign officially begins, the latest AP-GfK findings underscore the deep sense of unease that is sharpening the political divide in America and shaping an already nasty race. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

130 in Paris was to end July 26. The decision needs parliamentary approval. “The terrorist character (of the attack) cannot be denied,” he said. Writing online, Nice Matin journalist Damien Allemand, who was at the waterside, said the fireworks display had finished and the crowd had got up to leave when they heard a noise and cries. “A fraction of a second later, an enormous white truck came along at a crazy speed, turning the wheel to mow down the maximum number of people,” he said. the associated press

In Numbers Fifty-seven per cent have an unfavourable view of Clinton. Sixty-three per cent have a negative view of Trump. Fifty-six per cent of Americans said they would feel afraid and 48 per cent say they’d feel regret if Trump wins the race. Clinton doesn’t fare better: If elected president, 48 per cent say they would be afraid of her and 46 per cent say they would feel regretful. Only 27 per cent of Americans would be proud of that choice.

Fintechs are wooing millennials INVESTING

Firms trying to appeal to sense of social responsibility Several start-ups in the financial technology sector have unveiled products or services that attempt to court millennials by appealing to their sense of social responsibility. Online investment adviser WealthSimple launched a socially responsible portfolio

three months ago, and since then 10 per cent of the roboadviser’s clients have signed up for that option, says founder and CEO Michael Katchen. Socially responsible investing, or ethical investing, is the marriage of personal ethics with finance, and it’s been growing in popularity in recent years, a trend believed to be fuelled partly by the values of millennial investors. According to a report released last year by the Responsible Investment Association, more than $1 trillion of assets in Canada were being managed

The online investment manager, or robo-adviser, launched this year and offers socially responsible portfolios. “We are based in Vancouver, which tends to be ahead of the curve on a lot of the socially responsible and ethical investing, and just social causes in general, so we wanted to be at the forefront of that on the investing side,” Schweigert says. One of the challenges with offering ethical investing options is that everyone’s definition of an ethical investment is different, says Katchen.

SURVEY Canadians losing faith in meeting financial goals A new poll from CIBC suggests that some millennials and Generation Xers are losing confidence in their ability to meet their financial goals over the next year. CIBC says 73 per cent of the Canadians it polled say they are confident they will meet their financial goals over the next 12 months — down from 80 per cent in December. Millennials were the most confident in December, at 84 per cent. But in the recent poll, only 72 per cent of millennials expressed confidence.

using at least one responsible investing strategy as of Dec. 31, 2013. That’s up from $600 billion two years earlier. A global study released by research firm Nielsen last year found that 73 per cent of the millennials it surveyed are willing to pay more for brands that are sustainable. “Socially responsible portfolios really try and avoid investing in companies that don’t have a good environmental, social or corporate governance record,” says Isaac Schweigert, a portfolio manager and chief compliance officer at Moder-

Nintendo has announced a release date for their next console, but it’s not the enigmatic NX. Instead, old school gamers can rejoice with the news that a mini version of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System is hitting shelves this fall, with a 30-game package that includes gems like Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Metroid and the first entries from the Mario Bros. and Zelda franchises. The new hot NES will come equipped a replica of the original controller and an HDMI cable to plug the console directly into your TV. Two-player functionality will be available, and a second controller can be purchased for $12.99. The console is geared exclusively to classic gaming, so players shouldn’t expect any online connectivity. The NES Classic hits stores on Nov. 11 for $79.99. Unlike Pokémon GO, Canadians won’t have to wait any longer than our neighbours to pick up the revamp.

GOOGLE

Emojis of women at work approved Women professionals will soon be better represented in emoji form. Google said Thursday that the Unicode Consortium, which controls emoji standards, has agreed to add 11 new emojis in response to Google’s proposal in May to create a set of emojis “with a goal of highlighting the diversity of women’s careers and em-

powering girls everywhere.” Among the new emoji characters is a doctor, a scientist, a farmer and a welder. The characters are available in male forms as well and can be customized for skin tone. Google’s original proposal said women — and those under 30 in particular — are the most frequent users of emojis. The new emojis could be

available on smartphones before the end of the year. “We hope these updates help make emoji just a little more

representative of the millions of people around the world who use them,” Google said.

Women professionals will soon be better represented in emoji form.

The POWER PLANT OF THE FUTURE

FINDINGS Your week in science

Swiss scientists at the Laboratory of Nanoscale Biology have designed the teeny-tiniest power plant ever. They published their experiment this week in the journal Nature. They harnessed osmosis — the natural movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration across a membrane — to generate electricity. istock

POSITIVE NEWS Good news for loved ones of people infected with HIV: As long as your partner is taking their meds as directed, you’re going to be OK. That’s according to a large study of 888 couples with one HIV+ partner and one who is not infected. The study found not one new case of HIV among the negative partners, though they were regularly having sex without condoms. All the HIV patients were taking antiretroviral therapy, and the levels of virus in their blood were at or near undetectable levels. Though 11 of the negative people caught HIV, none of them got it from their partner.

HOW it Works

The scientists built a tiny device with two fluid-filled compartments, one with a high concentration of a dissolved salt and the other with a low concentration. The fluids are separated by a membrane just three atoms thick made of a compound called molybdenum disulfide. 1. The membrane has a tiny hole called a nanopore, just big enough for the salt ions to pass through. The pore is negatively charged. 2. The positive salt ions pass through the pore, moving from the highconcentration compartment to the low one. The pore repels negative ions. 3. So, negative charges build up on one side of the device and positive charges on the other. That movement of charges is electricity! Researchers said the resulting electric power was enough to run a tiny transistor.

Low concentration compartment

THE POTENTIAL

In real life, fresh water comes in contact with salt water every day in estuaries, where rivers meet oceans. If giant membranes could be installed at the juncture, capturing the osmotic power of salt moving from high concentration to low concentration, the result could be a reliable source of renewable energy. Unlike the wind (doesn’t always blow) or the sun (doesn’t always shine) the ocean is always there.

Is hate part of human nature?

Everyone is a little bit racist. It’s scientifically proven, right? — D.B., Winnipeg

Yes, the evidence suggests most people, at least unconsciously, have a not-so-nice view of marginalized groups like AfricanAmericans and gay people. Social scientists call this implicit bias, and there’s significant controversy over how it’s measured. A popular way to measure bias, including racism, is an implicit association test (IAT).

Naturally, it’s a gross oversimplification of racism: a messy, centuries-old phenomenon.

The mystery of a great muse in focus

Paul Feig, Melissa McCarthy make magic in movies Richard Crouse

For Metro Canada Consider the muse. Alfred Hitchcock made three of his greatest films with Grace Kelly and tried to lure her back to the big screen long after she retired. Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have a seemingly unbreakable cinematic bond and the world of movies would be far less interesting if Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski had never met. John Ford and John Wayne inspired one another to do their best work and Tim Burton and Johnny Depp’s shared eccentricities gave us unforgettable nights at the multiplex. Muses inspire their directors to aspire to new heights, to push the limits of their creativity. Add another to the list: Melissa McCarthy. Over the course of four films — including this weekend’s Ghostbusters — she has upped director Paul Feig’s game and in turn he gave her the roles that broke her out of the TV sidekick treadmill and turned her into a big screen star. “It’s not even like we go, ‘We’ve got to do the next movie together,’” Feig says. “It’s just that suddenly the next movie will pop up and I’m like, ‘You know who would be great for this?’ So it’s funny that people think we have an agenda to keep doing this.” Agenda or not, their creative chemistry is undeniable. Feig describes McCarthy’s audition for the first film they

made together, Bridesmaids, as a “religious moment.” She was less sure. “The whole ride home from the audition,” she says, “I was thinking, ‘I got too weird. Should I turn the car around and do that cheesy actor thing of I can do it better! Give me another shot!’” The director cast her in the scene-stealing role of Megan — imagine a feral, female Guy Fieri — and it was her flashpoint. Her wonderfully weird performance, complete with sexual hijinks and an explosive bout of diarrhea —“It’s coming out

of me like lava!” — stole the show out from under other, better-known stars like Kristen Wiig — and earned her an Oscar nomination. Next up for the dynamic duo was The Heat, an odd couple, buddy cop movie set in Boston

sive but damaged comedic persona. “I’ve played a lot of characters who are very vocal, very aggressive,” she told me in 2014. “For the women I’ve played there is a reason why they are so ballsy and it is nice when you see the crack in the veneer and you realize, ‘It’s part of their insecurity. They stay loud so nobody yells at them.’” In Spy, McCarthy reined it in and left behind the aggressive but damaged comedic persona she’d cultivated in films like Identity Thief, The Heat and Tammy.

Feig knows when to let McCarthy off the leash — there are some wild slapstick scenes here — but he also knows when to pull her back and let the script do the work. This week McCarthy headlines Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot alongside Bridesmaids co-star Kristen Wiig. Will that be their final collaboration? Don’t count on it. Feig is reportedly writing a Spy sequel as we speak. “She’s so good,” he says, “and we just really have the same sense of humour. “So it’s just such an easy fit.”

behind the scenes

Screenwriter eyes ‘Busters sequel with cautious optimism Like most kids of the 1980s, Ghostbusters played on a near constant loop in screenwriter Katie Dippold’s home. For one Halloween, her mother even made a Slimer costume — not for the children, for herself. “It’s actually pretty good,” Dippold, 36, said, wondering aloud if she was too young to be watching so many scary movies. “It may be why I’m a neurotic writer.” At the very least, it established a lifetime affinity for the spooky, which she got to meld with her comedic sensibilities when Paul Feig asked her to write Ghostbusters, out Friday. “There was a moment when they were making the final deals and I remember thinking, ‘would it be the worst thing if it fell apart? Is this going to be too much?”’ Dippold said. “It still hasn’t really hit me.” She’d cut her teeth writing for MADtv and Parks and Recreation before making a big screen splash with the original comedy The Heat, which Feig directed with Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock starring. Costing only $43 million to make, The Heat grossed $229.9

million globally in 2013. It’s the kind of success that can secure a screenwriter a place at the table when a studio wants to pour $150 million into resurrecting a dormant franchise with a new cast. “She’s very specific. She doesn’t write typical jokes,” Kristen Wiig said. “In real life she’s just a funny, nice, easy going person. That shines through in her writing.” Next up is a mother/daughter road trip comedy with Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn. It’s currently shooting in Hawaii and set for release in May 2017. As she waits to see how the

public receives Ghostbusters, she’s looking forward to a little break. She’s cautiously optimistic about the idea for a sequel, too, which has been left open-ended. “I’m envious of the original Ghostbusters for a billion reasons, but one being what that must have been like not knowing what it was going to be. There was no pressure, no bar. They were just making a crazy movie where they were fighting ghosts and having a good time. It made me really anxious to create something completely new,” she said. the associated press

‘It means a lot to see yourself represented on-screen’ Kris Abel

For Metro Canada Ghostbusters is the first adventure led by women from the field of science and technology. I asked astrophysicist Rachel Ward-Maxwell from the Ontario Science Centre and creative technologist Alex Leitch, co-founder of Site 3 coLaboratory, to attend a screening. They loved it. Leitch: I loved the original Ghostbusters. It was great. As an adult? It’s not the movie that it was when I was a kid. This movie is the movie I really wanted it to be. It means a lot to see yourself represented onscreen. The way that everybody related to each other really reminds me strongly of my circle of friends from the MakerSpace scene. Ward-Maxwell: Having films where you see women in science, in particular in this film a team of women scientists, and it’s emphasized quite often in the film that they are scientists and they believe in the scientific method. It’s like watching a super hero movie, like The Avengers, but it is a woman, who is a scientist, who is rescuing another woman, who is also a scientist. It’s just so... mind-boggling, I hope it becomes the norm. Leitch: I tried to buy the glasses that Kate McKinnon wears throughout the movie last summer, because I weld things and they are delightful. I really associate strongly with the characters who run towards danger and run towards trouble and machines. In my previous career I have definitely built crazy-light beam weapons that are incredibly dangerous (laughs). Ward-Maxwell: I could really relate to Kristen’s

character. At the beginning, she’s working towards her tenure at Columbia University, she’s a theoretical physicist, she’s practicing her lecture in an empty classroom, trying to present herself in a way that is authoritative to her students. I do have some experience working with super computers, which are cool, and also some pretty powerful telescopes. Leitch: I really believe that this movie, at the very least, will give us a brand new crop of amazing Makers who are women and friendly to women, both of which really matter a lot. I am optimistic it will get us

an amazing generation of engineers. Ward-Maxwell: I definitely think we’re going to see lots of young girls dressing up like Ghostbusters, which is about time. I think it’s going to be awesome, I think it can be very aspirational, not just for young girls, everybody, to see not just a great cast of women, but a great cast, not just a great group of female characters, but a great group of characters be on a wonderful adventure. They talk about how they’re physicists. For me, as a physicist, that’s something very rare. I think that might allow young girls to take an interest.

THE TV DINNER Jessica AllEn

Spoiler alert: these four new Ghostbusters are all women. The Neanderthals who couldn’t process that, we can dismiss.

Two things occurred to me on Sunday night when Simon and I re-watched the original 1984 Ghostbusters — a film we’ve collectively seen dozens of times but not in the last decade: first, it wasn’t as funny as we remembered, and second, Dr. Peter Venkman, played by Bill Murray, is not just a scientist: he’s a stalker. Although we didn’t finish the movie, we polished off an entire pepperoni pizza from Maker Pizza, along with 10 of the best chicken wings I’ve ever consumed. The shop, tucked away on a side street near Queen and Spadina,

hasn’t so much re-invented the takeaway pie: they’ve just crafted one that delivers everything you want from a pizza today — and then some that you didn’t even know you craved. Much like the remake of Ghostbusters, which opens Friday, although I enjoyed a sneak peak on Monday night. The movie, which sees director Paul Feig reunited with Melissa McCarthy for their fourth summertime comedy, stars McCarthy and Wiig as friends Abby and Erin whose childhood obsession with the paranormal resulted in a cowritten book: “Ghosts From Our Past: Both Literally and Figuratively.” No wonder that when the out-of-print publication resurfaces it gets in the way of Erin being tenured at Columbia. Two current SNL players round out the cast: Kate McKinnon is the eccentric engineer Jillian and Leslie

(The original was rated PG while the remake, which is scarier, is PG-13.) And while the remake lacks some of that ad-libbed charm that Murray provided, it is funny: my head was so light from

TV BRIEFS laughing that I nearly floated out of my seat. Spoiler alert: these four new Ghostbusters are all women. The Neanderthals who couldn’t process that, we can dismiss. Others, however, expressed disdain over the remake being a symptom of the bankruptcy of Hollywood. But Hollywood has been retelling stories for a while now, and some of those retellings, I think, are better than the originals: The Thing, True Grit, The Bird Cage, Heaven Can Wait, to name a few. The arguments about Ghostbusters — about the validity of remakes, about the creeping revenge of marginalized groups that somehow taint or diminish the original product that apparently belongs to another group (mostly obtuse white males) — would be insipid in the best of times. After the events of the last few weeks, the fact that anyone has excess anger or outrage to spare over Ghostbusters with vaginas is staggering. Jessica Allen is the digital correspondent on CTV’s The Social.

Canuck spies thrilled with The Good Wife

It’s among the most secretive agencies in Canada. But one project officer at the Communications Security Establishment, the electronic spy service, was “very excited” about seeing the CSE portrayed in an April episode of the popular CBS television series The Good Wife. Internal emails obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act reveal the drama captured the attention of the CSE. “Just wanted to share something with you all,” wrote the project officer — whose name was deleted for security reasons — the morning after the program aired. “At our meeting last week we were talking about how nice it would be for TV shows to mention CSE ... well ... last night I was watching a show that I never watch, The Good Wife, and CSE was mentioned about 2-3 times.” the canadian press

Futuristic world devoid of feeling triggers high emotion movies

Filmmaker finds himself affected as he directs Equals Filmmaker Drake Doremus had a harrowing childhood experience in the back of his mind as he directed Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult in Equals, out Friday. The story of a futuristic society in which human emotion is considered harmful reminded him of the prescription drugs that robbed him of some of his feelings growing up. “I was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and went on Ritalin and Dexedrine and all that crap, and I think maybe in a way, this is sort of my backlash against that, in a sense,” he says. “I definitely feel frustrated by essentially growing up taking speed for a large portion of my young life. “It’s kind of insane. It seems kind of ridiculous. I would never do that to my kids. God bless my parents, they were doing what they thought was best.” But it was a subconscious awareness he had while making the film, he adds. “It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, I have a statement to make.’ I’m not a political filmmaker and I don’t necessarily have an agenda in that sense. But yeah, I definitely feel like I can relate to what that feels like and how upsetting that is.” Equals features a society in

which human emotion has been seemingly eradicated genetically. Those who display feelings are diagnosed with Switched on Syndrome and are considered a danger. If they engage in “coupling activities,” they’re sent to a treatment facility. Stewart and Hoult’s characters find themselves facing that fate as they begin to develop feelings for each other. Though the story is set in the future, it relates to to-

day’s world in which relationships often unfold in a disconnected manner online, says Doremus. “It is a reflection of human beings today, very much so,

in an age of Internet dating,” says the native of Orange County, Calif., whose other films include Like Crazy. “There really is such a lack of organic human connec-

tion. It’s scary to think of 10, 15 years from now, the algorithms and the devices that will bring us together.” Doremus held workshops with the cast a week before shooting in Tokyo. The goal was to try to strip down their emotions and “everything we’ve been raised with.” “We started doing exercises where, for hours, they couldn’t feel anything and they had to have conversations — or not talk at all,”

he says. “Then we did really cool truth exercises where everything was just the exact opposite and it was so honest and there were no barriers.” Doremus shot as much of the story in order as possible so that the stars couldn’t touch each other until their characters actually did so. In some scenes, he let the cameras linger on the two for a while as their characters discover how it feels to touch another human for the first time. “Those are the beautiful moments and they’re both so wonderful that for me, it was easy to just linger and not interrupt,” says Doremus. “ We w o u l d d o 2 0 - , 25-minute takes where sometimes they wouldn’t even say anything and they would just get lost and forget where they are, and then I’d come in and tweak something or guide something or play a piece of music.” Stewart and Hoult are among the most in-demand actors of today, but “neither of them are very Hollywood at all,” says Doremus. “They’re both just awesome, cool people, so it’s funny to think about that.... They’re so talented and there’s just not that many actors working today in their mid-20s that have value and that are doing things for the right reasons, and both of them really are. “They really care about the work and they care about the people and they care about the family that comes together to make a movie.” THE CANADIAn PRESS

Networks lose ground in Emmy nods nominations

New platforms continue to produce winning shows Power-and-blood fantasy saga Game of Thrones ruled the Emmy Award nominations Thursday with a leading 23 bids, including best drama, while a real-life epic of murder and celebrity, The People v. O.J. Simpson, was close behind with 22 nods. Game of Thrones, which won a record 12 Emmys last fall including best drama, gets the chance to claim its second top award. Veep, last year’s best comedy series winner, also will get another shot at holding office and, with 17 nominations, was the comedy leader. Breakthrough nominations include a best comedy series nod for sophomore black-ish, which brought the AfricanAmerican family sitcom back to network TV, with bids as well for its stars, Anthony Anderson — who helped announce the awards live on Thursday and read his show’s name with glee — and his costar Tracee Ellis Ross. “I’m on cloud nine right now,” Anderson said afterward. “When hope becomes reality, that’s what it is. I was just a nine-year-old kid growing up in Compton, California, with a dream and this is the dream that I had.” They were among a number of black actors recognized by TV academy voters, who have started to keep pace with TV’s growing diversity — in sharp contrast to moviedom’s

Game of Thrones, above, ruled the Emmy nominations with 23 nods, while black-ish, top right, scored a best comedy series nod and two nods for its stars. Veep, right, was the leader in comedy with 17 nominations. contributed

Academy Awards, which were slammed as “Oscars So White” this year. Viola Davis, the How to Get Away with Murder star who last year became the first woman of colour to win a best drama actress trophy, was nominated again. So was Empire star Taraji P. Henson. Each of the major acting categories included at least one minority nominee. But there were no major

nods for the stars of Fresh Off the Boat or other AsianAmerican actors, or for Latinos, which has been a recurrent Emmy pattern. Networks have reason for concern as well. In the increasingly crowded TV universe, traditional broadcasts again lost Emmy ground to emerging platforms, including streaming services Netflix and Amazon, both of which boosted their tallies. Game of Thrones and Mr. Robot will compete with Better Call Saul, Homeland, House of Cards, The Americans and Downton Abbey, the last a nod for its farewell season. But the final season of The Good Wife was not recognized, and star Julianna Margulies also was snubbed. For Stephen Colbert, it was the inaugural season of his CBS late-night show that was overlooked, while network colleague James Corden earned a best variety talk series bid for his Late Late Show. Aziz Ansari received a lead comedy acting bid for his series Master of None, a first for an Indian-American actor, and the show received a best comedy series nomination. Rami Malek, of Egyptian descent, earned a top drama acting nod for his role as a renegade hacker in another freshman, Mr. Robot, which also will compete for drama honours.

The Americans, which gained in attention last season, also earned bids for its stars, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. Besides Russell, Davis and Henson, lead drama actress bids went to Claire Danes for Homeland and Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black. Malek and Rhys will be competing with Kevin Spacey for House of Cards, Kyle Chandler for Bloodline, Bob Odenkirk for Better Call Saul and Liev Schreiber for Ray Donovan. The ensemble cast of Game of Thrones found leading bids elusive. Peter Dinklage, named last year’s best supporting actor, will defend his title, with a nod also going to Kit Harington, who plays fan favourite Jon Snow. Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey and Maisie Williams earned supporting actress bids in a year that the show’s female characters gained the upper hand. On the comedy side, Veep, black-ish and Master of None will tussle for the trophy with five-time champ Modern Family, Transparent, Silicon Valley and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. A top acting nod for Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays a U.S. vice-president now elevated to the Oval Office, gives her the chance to

score her fifth consecutive win and set a record. Black-ish star Anderson, who got his second nod, will be competing with last year’s winner, Jeffrey Tambor of Transparent, along with Ansari, Will Forte for The Last Man on Earth, William H. Macy for Shameless and Thomas Middleditch for Silicon Valley. The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which recounted the football legend’s sensational, racially charged trial for the slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, is a best limited series nominee and earned six acting nominations for its cast’s portrayal of wellknown figures. Lead nominations went to Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, Courtney B. Vance as defence attorney Johnnie Cochran and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark. Supporting bids were given to Sterling K. Brown as prosecutor Christopher Darden, David Schwimmer as Simpson friend Robert Kardashian — patriarch of the now-famous family — and John Travolta as defence attorney Robert Shapiro. Gooding and Vance will compete with Bryan Cranston as President Lyndon B. Johnson in All The Way, Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock: The Abominable Bride (Master-

piece), Idris Elba in Luther and Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager. In a phone interview, Paulson said that despite joy over her recognition she was happiest to learn that Brown was nominated for his portrayal of Darden. “I jumped up and down .... more about that than about my own,” Paulson said. “I owe my performance whatever it is to him.” The 68th prime-time Emmy show will be broadcast live on ABC from 8-11 p.m. on Sept. 18, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. the associated press

Strong female voices vying for top album Canadian Music

Polaris Music Prize shortlist includes Carly Rae, Grimes A lineup of prominent female voices including pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen and electronic songstress Grimes are vying for this year’s Polaris Music Prize. Both Jepsen’s Emotion and Grimes’ Art Angels were on the short list revealed Thursday for best album of the year from a Canadian artist. Women played a prominent role in six of the 10 nominated projects. Many of the albums that didn’t make the cut also happened to be some of

last year’s biggest sellers. Releases from Justin Bieber, Drake and the Weeknd were all part of the Polaris long list revealed in June, but were eliminated from contention. Among the other women nominated are Basia Bulat for Good Advice, Jessy Lanza for Oh No, and female-led groups U.S. Girls for Half Free and White Lung for Paradise. Bulat’s nomination marks the third time she’s been a finalist for the Polaris prize, putting her among an exclusive club of Canadians that include Caribou, Drake, Metric, Owen Pallett and Shad. Jepsen’s album was her followup to the breakout success Kiss, which was buoyed by the massive hit Call Me Maybe. While Emotion failed to deliver the sales of its pre-

Rounding out this year’s short list are Black Mountain’s IV, Pup’s The Dream Is Over, Andy Shauf ’s The Party and rising producer Kaytranada’s 99.9% Kaytranada, who is based in Montreal, began his career as Kaytradamus and has slowly built a reputation in

the hip hop community. His album includes appearances from a number of underground artists like Anderson Paak, Little Dragon and U.K. singer Craig David. Nominees were whittled down from a longer list of 40 albums revealed a month ago — a list that itself was narrowed from 183 qualifying albums. The winner will be awarded $50,000 on Sept. 19 at

They’re the ones who put him in water at 10 months old and got him swimming competitively at age 7.

Lefty just shy of history British Open

Mickelson lips out his chance for first-ever 62 at a major Phil Mickelson was 16 feet away from a place in history he wouldn’t have to share with anyone. Fans watched from a rooftop balcony. Royal Troon members strained to see out the window from the clubhouse behind the 18th green. Jack Nicklaus usually doesn’t watch golf on TV, but he made an exception for this moment. In 436 majors held over the last 156 years, no one had ever

shot 62. That’s still the case. By a fraction of an inch. “I want to cry,” Mickelson said. Mickelson pointed his putter toward the hole and was ready to step into history Thursday in the British Open when his birdie putt turned sharply to the right at the mouth of the hole, just enough to ride the edge around the back of the cup and sit there, teasing him. “You made a beautiful read and putt on that last hole but got absolutely stone-cold robbed,” Nicklaus said in a message on Facebook. Mickelson plopped his hand on his forehead in disbelief. His caddie, Jim (Bones) Mackay, was so stunned that he fell over

knew it, and with a foot to go I thought I had done it. I saw that ball rolling right in the centre. I went to go get it. I had that surge of adrenalin that I had just shot 62, and then I had the heartbreak that I didn’t.” No tears were necessary at Royal Troon, not after a round of 63 that was brilliant even by Lefty’s standards, and certainly not after building a three-shot lead over Patrick Reed and Martin Kaymer on an ideal day by the Irish Sea. Mickelson seized the moment with a birdie on the par5 16th from a bunker short of the green, and a 4-iron to 15 feet for birdie on the par-3 17th to reach 8-under par. He knew no one had ever shot 62 in a major. He also knew he

most likely would never get a chance like this. “That would have been really something special,” he said. “So to have that putt lip out, that’s going to sting for a while.” Even with such a close call, Mickelson is in good company. Nicklaus missed a putt just inside three feet for a 62 in the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol. Greg Norman had to only two-putt from 30 feet for a 62 at Turnberry in the 1986 British Open and took three putts. Tiger Woods watched his 15foot putt for 62 spin 270 degrees around the cup in the 2007 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Nick Price’s birdie putt for a 62 in the 1986 Masters dipped in and out of the cup. The Associated Press

Earnhardt Jr. sits with concussion NASCAR

Head injury adds to painful season for popular driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. has dropped out of the Sprint Cup race Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway because of symptoms of a concussion. Earnhardt was evaluated in Charlotte, N.C., this week and doctors did not clear him to race. Hendrick Motorsports said Thursday it had no timetable for his return. Alex Bowman will drive in his place. NASCAR’s most popular driver, Earnhardt was involved in a 22-car wreck in Daytona this month and also wrecked last month at Michigan International Speedway. He says he was feel-

IN BRIEF Broncos, Miller close in on deal, sources say The Denver Broncos have upped their offer to Von Miller by offering to guarantee the Super Bowl MVP a record $70 million of the sixyear deal, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press.

ing fine last week and thought the problem was allergies. When that didn’t turn out to be the case, he Dale met with a neurologist. Earnhardt Jr. Earlier this year, Earnhardt getty Images pledged his brain to researchers looking into the connection between concussions and traumatic brain injuries. “I’m looking forward to treatment with the goal of getting back in the race car when the doctors say I’m ready,” Earnhardt said. Earnhardt at least twice in his career hid concussion symptoms to avoid being removed from his car. In 2012, he sought medical attention several days after a crash at Talladega because of symptoms he knew were concussion-related. During that

examination, it was determined he’d suffered two concussions in six weeks and was sidelined for two weeks of healing. NASCAR required the next year for drivers to submit a baseline neurocognitive assessment. When a driver in NASCAR can’t return his damaged car to the garage, a trip to the care centre is required, and under a new three-step process, if a driver shows any indication of a head injury they go immediately to a hospital. Concussed drivers must be cleared by a neurologist or neurosurgeon before they can get back in a race car. The 41-year-old Earnhardt is winless this season and 13th in the points standings. Because he will not start every race, Earnhardt will need a waiver from NASCAR to compete in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, if he’s meets other eligibility requirements.
