Norman Kwong dead at 86

Oil lobbyists suggested equalization as incentive

The China Clipper sailed to the rescue of more than one professional sports team — as a bruising football fullback, a tenacious front-office manager in the CFL and part-owner of his home-town hockey squad, the Calgary Flames. Norman Kwong, the first Chinese Canadian to play in the CFL and who later served as Alberta’s lieutenant governor, died Saturday at the age of 86. “Mr. Kwong was proud to be the son of Chinese immigrants. He was an Alberta success story from an early age. From his storied career in the Canadian Football League to his later co-ownership of the Calgary Flames, he was a champion on the field of play and in life,” Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said in a statement. When Kwong retired from playing football in 1960, he held 30 CFL records and two Schenley Awards as the league’s outstanding Canadian. He established a successful career in real estate and became partowner and director of the Calgary Flames until he sold his interest in 1994. Kwong was appointed lieutenant governor of Alberta in 2005 and served until 2010. In 1998, at the age of 69, he was awarded the Order of Canada. He is survived by his wife Mary, four sons and 10 grandchildren. A book of condolences is available for the public to sign at the Alberta Legislature and a memorial is planned for Sept. 13 in Calgary. THE CANADIAN PRESS

A group that represents oilfield service and supply companies asked Ottawa this year to use equalization payments as leverage to get reluctant provinces onside with pipeline projects. The Petroleum Services Association of Canada made the pitch last February as part of its federal budget submission, which was obtained by The Canadian Press through an access-to-information request. The association recommended that the federal government “amend equalization payment criteria such that transfer payments can be reduced or forfeit if a recipient province refuses transit of extra-provincial goods and/or products, or unduly impedes another province’s market access, including unreasonable delays to transportation infrastructure projects.” Mark Salkeld, president of the petroleum services group, said in an interview that the idea was to push some buttons. He admitted that selling Ottawa on the proposal is “probably not very easy.” Keith Brooks, programs director with the organization Environmental Defence, called the recommendation “highly problematic.” “It’s an absurd proposal.” Matters such as providing clean drinking water are a provincial responsibility, so provinces shouldn’t be penalized for making sure rivers and lakes aren’t polluted by a potential pipeline oil spill, he said.

Tour of Alberta grows race

Cycling event set to return to Jasper in 2017 Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton The Tour of Alberta will grow and return to the mountains in 2017. Tour organizers made the announcement that they were planning a return to Jasper next

year for the race after having scaled the event down this year. Robin Carpenter held off a strong challenge to win the overall race, while Francisco Mancebo took the final day in Edmonton. Event organizer Duanne Vienneau said the fourth edition of the race in 2016 was another success with weather that mostly held off and great performances from all of the cyclists. He said this year they chose to scale back the event to five days, but hope to change that next year.

“This year was a bit challenging with the economy, as everyone knows, so we went from six to five days this year,” he said. “We are growing, but we made some decisions to cut back a little bit, just to be sustainable for the future.” He said next year they plan to go back to a six-day race and return to Jasper to have a true

mountain course on the race. He said the race will definitely return to Edmonton next year and he hopes to do the velothon, in which more than 700 amateur cyclists got a chance to try out the course again as well. He said the city really embraces the race. “We have done this circuit for three years and I can see us doing it again.”

This year was a bit challenging with the economy, as everyone knows. Duanne Vienneau

He’s even got Bulletproof Jewelry in one retail shop, with hopes for many more. Word-of-mouth advertising has also caught the attention of organizers with the Canadian Country Music Awards. Buchanan is readying 100 pair of earrings and cufflinks that will be part of the gift “swag” bags given to nominees at the September awards show. “It’s great exposure for my product. There’s a momentum, and now I’m starting a business program at NAIT too. I think it’ll all help me grow this company.”

High speeds on the High Level Bridge have police putting Edmonton drivers on alert. Police are urging motorists to slow down while crossing the river, after multiple drivers were caught travelling more than double the speed limit on the bridge last week. “The speeds we’re seeing on the bridge are alarming,” Sgt. Kerry Bates, EPS Traffic Safety Co-ordinator, said in a press release. “We’re responding weekly to reports of vehicles driving dangerously and motorcycle racing — citizens need to slow down.” Police stopped 25 vehicles while clocking speeds in the 50 km/h zone on Thursday night and found four travelling at least 104 km/h, including two zipping by at 118 km/h. Police were previously clocking on the High Level Monday night, when they handed out 25 speeding tickets in two hours, and clocked one driver going 119 km/h.

The downturn in the economy took another casualty when Carter Buchanan lost his job, but the 19 year-old came back with guns blazing, turning a hobby into a booming business — making jewelry from shell casings. Buchanan was working as an instrument technician with a chemical and mining refining company and said losing the job spurred him into action. “Being an apprentice in the oil and gas industry, and working with my hands — it made me see I wanted to be my own boss. I wouldn’t be where I am today without losing that job,” said Buchanan, who is busier than ever in the garage of his

Call-out to city to call out bigotry #MakeItAwkward

Mayor, Jesse Lipscombe ask bystanders not to just stand by Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton

Jesse Lipscombe, who was targeted by racial slurs in downtown Edmonton recently, has launched an anti-discrimination campaign with Mayor Don Iveson. Kevin Tuong/For Metro

Edmonton is about to get a little more, um, how should we say this … awkward? Jesse Lipscombe, who was targeted by racial slurs in downtown Edmonton Wednesday, has teamed up with Mayor Don Iveson on an unconventional anti-racism campaign. The two joined forces to make a video Friday morning that urged bystanders who hear racist, sexist or homophobic remarks to respond by making things uncomfortable. The #MakeItAwkward campaign — coined by Jesse’s wife Julia — encourages Edmon-

tonians to share their experiences and strategies for calling out discriminatory and ignorant behaviour. “That little feeling of someone who thought they could get away with the racial slurs or the sexism jokes or the jokes about the LGBT community, that’s not OK. And when you hear it, instead of being quiet, make it awkward,” Lipscombe said in the video. He suggested shooting a blank stare at someone who makes an ignorant comment. Iveson suggested safely and constructively calling someone out, even if it’s a relative at a family dinner. “It’s going to make the rest of the barbecue this weekend a little bit awkward when you call that uncle out, or you call out that older brother, or whoever it is who has

outmoded views. It’s time to stand up and say something,” he said. One Twitter user suggested asking a person who makes an ignorant joke to stop and explain why they think it’s funny. Several local community groups, including Women’s Initiative Edmonton and RISE, have thrown their support behind the campaign and over the weekend the campaign got support from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Lipscombe was doing a video spot Wednesday evening to promote the city’s downtown when a car pulled up to stop at the end of the block and a white man shouted out the window, “The n—ers are coming.” The video went viral receiving thousands of shares and comments over the weekend.

It’s time to comply, Eggen tells private schools head Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Education Minister David Eggen has told the chairman of a private Christian School that he must comply with legislation requiring schools to support LGBTQ students. Metro obtained the letter that Eggen sent Friday to Pastor Brian Coldwell, who is the chair of the Independent Baptist Christian Education Society, in response to the pastor’s public statements about LGBTQ policies. The society runs two private schools in Parkland County and Coldwell has said he doesn’t intend to comply with the province’s requirement that schools supports GSAs and accommodate transgender students. Earlier this year, Eggen asked schools across the province to submit policies outlining how they would accommodate transgender students and Gay Straight Alliances. In the letter, Eggen said the society’s policies leave him with doubts. “Given the content of that submission, and in particular

recent statements that have been attributed to you in the media, I have serious concerns about your board’s intent to comply,” wrote Eggen. Eggen has set a deadline of Sept. 16 for Coldwell to provide documentation that makes it clear the private schools will follow the law. “I require that you provide me with written assurances that Independent Baptist Christian Education Society is complying and will continue to comply with all applicable legislation.”

On Monday, Eggen said the letter was a way of underscoring that something had to be done. “We will see what comes of it. This is a serious situation and I just wanted the pastor and the school to be aware of the situation,” he said. Eggen said pulling the schools’ funding is a possibility, but he won’t take that decision lightly. “It is very important to try and work something out that is sensible.”

Looking back: Insiders talk downtown arena deal development

How the plan to reshape the city’s core came together Ryan Tumilty

Metro | Edmonton Patricia Mitsuka, former Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel’s chief of staff, first heard about a new arena for the Oilers when her boss blurted out the idea nearly 10 years ago. “It came on my radar when he announced it in a year-end interview in 2006, that he thought Edmonton was going to need a new arena,” she said. On Saturday, the arena Edmontonians debated, agonized over, protested, paid for and now built will open to the public for the first time. Former councillor Kim Krushell said she first saw the problem from a position on the Northlands board when she saw the costs to renovate Rexall Place. “They had done a review of the existing arena and to renovate it was super challenging,” she said. That problem led to reports and studies on the topic and negotiations with the Oilers, and four years later council voted on a funding framework in 2011. Katz Group vice-president Bob

Black said while that seemed like a deal to the public, in reality the framework had about 20 points, but the final deal was thousands of pages of details “A lot of people perceived that once the framework was done, the deal was done, but in fact that really couldn’t have been further from the truth.” Things fall apart Moving from a framework to a

deal was where things got complicated. Black said trying to get the high-design building the Oilers wanted for the $450 million they had budgeted was a problem. “From the beginning, we set our sights on no less than designing and constructing the finest arena in the world,” said Black. He said as they started to get into the details a philosophical divide crept in.

“The city was trying to drive to a budget and we were trying to drive to an outcome,” said Black. Mitsuka said she was out with Mandel at public events the weekend after that and everyone they encountered said the same thing. “The absolutely constant refrain from people was “I am really glad council took the position that you did, that was great, but we are going to get an arena

Here’s how the dollars and cents break down for Rogers Place

right?” She said. “It was absolutely everywhere.”

The deal:

Deal comes together. The answer to that question a few months later was “yes.” In May 2013, Katz and the city agreed to split the additional $30 million that came up during design work. Krushell said when she cast her vote in favour of the deal the following spring, she saw it as a way to take advantage of a community revitalization levy to improve downtown. “It was the structure of the deal. It was a way for us to get revenue that we wouldn’t otherwise get,” she said. “What I had to do as a councillor was look at our risk and the risk wasn’t that bad.” Black said even though the negotiations were charged and emotional, both sides wanted to get the deal done and had come to know each and respect each other. “That trust became the foundation for putting things back together,” he said. He said he didn’t full breathe a sigh of relief until they signed the deal with PCL construction to build the rink for the price everyone had agreed on, but May 2013 was the turning point. Mitsuka said in the end the deal lead to a renewed downtown and it’s hard to argue that didn’t happen. “I think Edmonton got what it wanted and I think it potentially got more.”

Total cost - $613 million: The deal includes, land, the arena, the wintergarden, a connection to the LRT and the community rink .

Who pays:

Community revitalization levy - $231 million: The CRL takes property taxes, including taxes normally reserved for education, that come as a result of increased investment. Katz Group lease - $112.8 million: The Katz Group will make payments to the city for the next 35 years on the building. They has also have the first right of refusal on any extension of the lease past 35 years. Katz Group cash - $27.7 million: The Katz Group also gave a cash contribution to the project. Other city funding - $81 million: The city also moved funding that was going to Northlands to operate Rexall Place into construction of the project, along with some parking revenue and some money that went into the community rink. Oilers fans and concertgoers - $125 million: The city will charge a ticket tax at all Rogers Place events that will go towards funding the building.

Canada’s coast guard talking water safety River

Advice triggered by accidental arrival of 1,500 Americans The image of hundreds of Americans on inflatable rafts and makeshift platforms bobbing helplessly down the St. Clair River as strong winds pushed them towards the Canadian shore is one Peter Garapick isn’t going to forget. The Canadian Coast Guard superintendent of search and rescue was on the water near Sarnia, Ont., when the festive air of the unsanctioned Port Huron Float Down turned tense as participants realized they were drifting towards a foreign country without their passports, cash or much clothing. Now, just two weeks after some 1,500 stranded Americans were rescued, corralled and shuttled home, Canadian

Thousands of people gathered for the Float Down at Lighthouse Beach in Port Huron, Mich., and many ended up in Sarnia, Ont. Mark R. Rummel/The Times Herald/THE ASSOCIATED PRESs

and U.S. authorities have met to discuss how they’ll prepare for next year’s event. “We will engage and start the conversation with people who think they’re going to consider this and say, you know, start talking safety,” said Garapick. Authorities on both sides of the border have committed to

work on a co-ordinated response for future events, and a plan to encourage safety and common sense on the water, he said. The Float Down, which has been running on and off since the late 1970s, is “inherently dangerous,” but nonetheless continues to attract participants looking for a party down the river be-

tween Michigan and Ontario, Garapick said. This year’s event, however, stood out for the sheer number of people who had to be helped by coast guard, border services and police after high winds blew floaters clear across the border on Aug. 21. “We knew by nine that morning it was going to be a challenge,” Garapick said. “We knew everybody was going to come our way, but it was sunny, the weather was half decent and the folks who do this are not boaters, they are not mariners and they don’t think about that.” As participants were pushed towards Canada, a number of them panicked — many looked about in dismay as the floats they were on jammed together, creating a crush of inflatable devices. Others jumped into the rising waves and struck out for the U.S. “This is where people die, they think they can make it,” said Garapick. “We actually forced people back on their floats.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Math error keeping resident in Moscow Gilbert Ngabo

Metro | Toronto Relief could be on the way for a Toronto woman embroiled in an immigration case that has left her stuck in Moscow for the past two months. Gyulzar Julia Yakobi travelled to Russia for medical treatment in July. Her permanent resident card had expired, and the Canadian embassy refused to offer her a travel document to come back. But that could change soon, according to information from

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. “Should Ms. Yakobi decide to appeal the decision at the IAD, she would be entitled to a travel document to allow her to return to Canada pending the outcome of an appeal,” said a spokesperson. The family has filed an appeal, claiming the saga resulted from a math error by embassy staff, who claimed Yakobi had been present in Canada for only 65 days in the past five years. The required minimum is 730 days, and the family says she hasn’t left Canada since 2013.

to avoid devaluing their currencies to boost exports. They called for co-operation to reduce tax avoidance. They appealed for stepped up aid for surging global numbers of refugees and their host countries. Chinese leaders hope the two-day meeting will increase

their influence in managing the global economy. They want the G20, created to respond to the 2008 financial crisis, to take on a longer-term role promoting trade and economic growth. The joint statement reflected that ambition by calling it the “premier forum” for economic co-operation. Beijing made trade a theme of the gathering in this lakeside city southwest of Shanghai but faces complaints that a flood of low-cost Chinese steel into global markets threatens U.S. and European jobs, propelling the rise of political movements that promise to curb trade. The joint statement calls for formation of a steel forum under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to study excess production capacity.

Justin Trudeau spent days urging world leaders to fight back against rising anti-trade sentiments, but he says there’s little risk that protectionist forces seen in the United States and Europe will spill over into Canada. The prime minister, who made the remarks Monday at the end of the Group of 20 summit in China, said he believes Canadians in Justin every demoTrudeau graphic group broadly support positive engagement with the world. “I’d be very careful and hesitant to apply situations that might be described in other countries to Canadians because we’ve seen Canadians are — and all demographic groups combined - generally open and positive and optimistic about the future,” Trudeau said.

China agreed to co-operate more closely with its trading partners on its politically volatile steel exports as leaders of major economies ended a summit Monday with a forceful endorsement of free trade and a crowded agenda that included the Koreas, Syria and refugees. In a joint statement, Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Barack Obama and the leaders of Britain, Japan, Russia and other Group of 20 nations pledged to boost sluggish global growth by promoting innovation. “The global recovery lacks momentum,” Xi told reporters after the meeting. “We need to do more to unlock the potential for medium and long-term growth.” There was no mention of a global stimulus or other joint action, which officials said earlier was unworkable because eco-

A leading international group has taken the giant panda off its endangered list thanks to decades of conservation efforts, but China’s government discounted the move on Monday, saying it did not view the status of the country’s beloved symbol as any

less serious. The International Union for Conservation of Nature said in a report released Sunday that the panda is now classified as a “vulnerable” instead of “endangered” species, reflecting its growing numbers in the wild in south-

ern China. It said the wild panda population jumped to 1,864 in 2014 from 1,596 in 2004, the result of work by Chinese agencies to enforce poaching bans and expand forest reserves. The report warned, however, that although better

forest protection has helped increase panda numbers, climate change is predicted to eliminate more than 35 per cent of its natural bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, potentially leading to another decline.

Is Labour Day the real New Year’s? In Canada, as in many parts of the world, we make our new year’s resolutions on Jan. 1. But many of us, having been through at least 12 formative years’ worth of Sept.-June school calendars, and being conditioned to prepare for the onset of winter, can’t help but think of Labour Day weekend as the real turning point in the year.

In fighting #racism, are we doing #enough? urban paradis

While filming a video about Edmonton, Jesse Lipscombe had ugly racial slurs thrown his way from a car stopped at a red light. Most Edmontonians responded the right way, condemning the language used and rallying to support Lipscombe. Still, it has scarcely been a month since Edmonton made national headlines for another incident, when Basir Muhomed was called the N-word while cycling. If that wasn’t bad enough there’s The Soldiers of Odin, a group known to intimidate Muslims and recent immigrants “patrolling” the streets. Mayor Don Iveson made a statement regarding the Lipscombe video, calling for Edmontonians to come together

“through initiatives like Racism Free Edmonton and other community-based initiatives to challenge these unacceptable attitudes and behaviours.” Jen Fowler, the city’s director of multicultural relations, says research from the now-lapsed project has been used throughout the city’s strategies. Fowler also pointed to the new hashtag campaign #makeitawkward, which Lipscombe’s wife coined, as a strategy to address racism. And while messages of support flooded in for Lipscombe, two things struck me: the responses of shock that people still talk this way, and the discrepancy between this and the daily treatment of indigenous and Muslim people. We call out the N-word because most people who aren’t in the KKK understand that it is wrong to use that racial slur. Ending racism doesn’t stop with finger wagging at a stranger and ignoring your

racist aunt at the family dinner table. No strategy to end racism can rely on non-white people being responsible for pushing back. Racism is a white person’s problem. White people need to ask about issues of systemic racism in our police and justice system and why more isn’t done to target hate groups. In some ways, Edmonton acknowledges its racism problem. According to a 2012 study by End Racism Edmonton, 59 per cent of people surveyed agree indigenous residents face discrimination and 36 per cent of people agree non-white residents face discrimination. Andray Domise, a writer for Macleans magazine, recently covered the tragic shooting of Colten Boushie, an indigenous man in Saskatchewan shot by a farmer George Stanley while seeking help for a flat tire. Boushie was killed and four others escaped. A rural councillor in Saskatchewan had to

step down after posting on Facebook that Stanley’s only mistake was leaving witnesses. “You have people in Edmonton who feel comfortable enough to yell racial slurs at people in the streets,” Domise said, “and to join a hate group because they don’t feel like anything will be done.” Domise expressed disgust at the hate directed to Lipscombe in the video and applauded him for the hashtag, but he had much more pointed words for the mayor and council. “Racist groups aren’t going to be affected by this hashtag, because they aren’t ashamed,” he said. “If Don Iveson is willing to accept that image, but not willing to crack down on these hate groups, it’s hypocrisy.”

Remote property listings offer an alluring fantasy of fair value My brother’s new(ish) home in Vancouver is not what I, growing up, imagined you’d call a million-dollar home. But of course, in today’s market, it’s worth even more than that. It is lovely. A big open kitchen overlooking the two apple trees and rose bushes, a full suite to rent out in the basement, intricately detailed wood floors and enough room for his little family. But it’s really a lovely average home, at the average — and yet astounding — price of real estate in this city. Sure, we’re almost getting used to these price tags (or hearing about them, anyway), but astronomical real estate costs have also spawned a new pastime: contemplating the amazing deals that can be found, if only you’d agree to radical relocation. Even those, like me, who couldn’t afford a shed in Flin Flon, can’t resist the click. Instead of shucking out an average $710,000 for a home in Toronto, for example, you could spend a fraction of that — just $135,000 — for a historic 100-year-old two-bedroom cottage on 3.47 acres in P.E.I., a short stroll to the fishing harbour and beaches. Can’t you just imagine yourself playing bocce ball on that rolling green lawn, and plodding barefoot in the morning over that worn, buttery old wooden floor to pour your first cup of coffee? You could literally own this home for less than a “conventional” 20 per cent down payment in

Toronto. Even that medieval castle in England for $2.48 million seems a like steal, given that average home prices in Vancouver are only about half that right now. Actually, that castle is about the same cost as a run-down, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Vancouver, on a meagre 33-foot lot (though it does have ocean views). Compare that to the view of your own personal 14.5 acres from the ancient windows of your literal castle, which has, naturally, eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and, of course, a moat. Let’s be clear: Unlike the Vancouver house, we’re not talking tear-down. We’re talking sprawling stone walkways, beamed ceilings, sprawling gardens, and a soaker-tub set in the old turret. Never has the New York Times “What you can get for…” real estate feature seemed more appealing than now, when that $740,000 you might dream of paying for a home in Toronto’s Corso Italia gets you a mid-century, threebedroom, three-bathroom open-concept mid-century home on Lake Champlain in Vermont. You’ve always wanted lakefront property right? That three-storey peaked ceiling with large, lazy fans hanging down? That whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows? That wide, sun-soaked deck? Maybe you could even get a sailboat ... Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Parents face the ‘dreaded September’ mental health

of their sadness. Tony Woolridge knows the feeling. Though he’s immensely proud of his successful, independent kids, he said he’s “miserable” the first week without them. “Both of us are not really fit to speak,” he said. “We both miss them, but I worry about the little things more,” he said. His recent concern is Erin, who has been looking for an apartment: “If there’s something that a dad should do, and I’m not there to do it, that frustrates me. If she was home moving from one apartment to the next, I could get a truck and move her.” For new empty-nesters, “Distress can be severe, not unlike the experiences of those going through the stages of grief and mourning,” consumer studies professor Carolyn Curasi wrote in a 2013 study of Irish, English and American mothers. Some participants even reported needing antidepressants and sleeping pills to get

Families grieve when millennials fly the nest, finally Genna Buck

Metro Canada This week, Tony and Lorelei Woolridge waved goodbye at the same spot in the St. John’s, Nfld. airport where they’ve shed tears nearly every September for the past eight years. Lorelei calls it “the escalator that takes my children away.” Her daughter Julie, 25, was the first to go, at age 17, on a soccer scholarship to Farleigh Dickerson University in New Jersey. Then her oldest, Erin, 28, left to study naturopathy in Toronto. Finally, Carolyn, 21, went to Acadia University in Nova Scotia. She just headed back for her fourth year. That was the hardest. “This time I was just sobbing,” Lorelei Woolridge said. Despite all the talk of millennials being too attached to their parents, most do eventually fly the nest. And when those close bonds are finally tested by distance, parents are often surprised by the depth

through the upheaval. Nicole Mills, a single parent from Mississauga, Ont., is well acquainted with the grieving process. She refers to the drive to Laurentian University in Sudbury with her daughter Jada, 19, as “the dreaded September.” “The void is quite big. Not seeing her shoes at the door can be rough,” Mills said. “This year she asked me not to cry. Well, that didn’t go over too well. But I don’t believe I was as bad as I was the first year.” Mills, too, wants to be there for little things Jada needs. She’d like to cook meals so her daughter could concentrate on her second-year biology and psychology courses, and her goal of getting into veterinary college. “If I could impart anything to other parents: As long as you know you’ve raised your child with basic life skills and confidence, they will move mountains,” Mills said. As a mother who has been through the process three times, Lorelei Woolridge advises bereft parents to stay connected on FaceTime and Skype. It’s how she coped with the “emotionally destroying” impact of being apart from her girls for special occasions like Julie’s engagement.

Sharing what you have with others?

For Metro Canada So often when the talk turns to money, people avert their eyes or scuff their toes against the ground, bashful to even get into the conversation. Not surprising really, since when the talk turns to money, most often it’s about what we’re doing wrong. Here’s the thing: you can’t be doing it all wrong. You just can’t. And so maybe what you need to do to open up the conversation with yourself (your partner, your best friend, your sister-in-law) is to focus on what you’re doing right. I’m good at discipline. I may hate collecting receipts and writing down everything I spend, but I do it. I may hate having to post all those spending-journal entries into my monthly budget, but I do

Splitting costs isn’t always what’s fair dating advice

Breadwinner may have to support partner who earns less

There’s nothing worse that a giant money elephant in the room.

Sofi Papamarko

Financial planner Shannon Lee Simmons

For Torstar News Service I ask matchmaking clients personal questions. Sometimes, they’re uncomfortably personal. But there’s one personal question I’ll never ask because it’s none of my business: what’s in their bank account. This rule has gotten me off the hook more than a few times. Like when a female matchmaking client requests to be matched with a man who pulls in no less than a six-figure salary. Or when a male matchmaking client expresses his discomfort at the mere thought of dating somebody who makes more money than him. In such cases, I heave a mighty inward sigh and say: “Sorry, I don’t ask clients about their income.” Money does matter, but personal finances should not be a factor in the search for lifelong companionship. Jobs come and go, careers are often in transition, smart (and/or terrible) financial decisions can sometimes be made. What’s important is how you and your partner handle your finances as a team through life’s inevitable ebbs and flows. When Amanda Scriver first made the leap from 9-to-5er to freelance writer, her partner Simon Gilbert supported her emotionally and financially (Gil-

Amanda Scriver and Simon Gilbert have disparate incomes. Currently, Gilbert’s job as a manager at Boxcar Social café allows Scriver to be a freelance writer. Nakita Krucker/Torstar news service

bert has steady work as a café manager). A somewhat awkward period of adjustment followed. “Since I was the primary breadwinner previously, I (was) more frivolous and spendy in nature,” Scriver says. “In the beginning, it was difficult to explain to Amanda that I couldn’t necessarily afford specific items — like a patio set for our house — and I had to save up if

we wanted to purchase those things, whereas she could’ve just bought them outright when she was at her (old) job,” Gilbert says. When Scriver first started her freelance business, she had the foresight to meet with financial planner Shannon Lee Simmons of the New School of Finance. “(Simmons) really helped me set goals for myself,” Scriver says. Simmons recommends talking

openly and honestly as a couple about pressing financial matters. “There’s nothing worse that a giant money elephant in the room,” Simmons says. “It leads to frustrations and resentment on all sides.” She suggests creating a budget together and sharing your fixed costs equitably, not equally. “Figure out the equitable share by dividing each partner’s take-

home income by the monthly household take-home income. That should be the percentage that they contribute to shared household expenses,” she says. This advice is probably mindblowing for the many couples out there who split expenses (including rent or mortgage payments) down the middle despite differing incomes. If you’re making significantly

more money than your partner, it makes sense for you to take on the bulk of the expenses right now — keeping in mind that life is life and primary breadwinner roles can easily reverse and probably will somewhere down the line. “Make a plan together that makes everyone feel heard and appreciated. It takes two to be financially fabulous,” says Simmons, who offers a bestselling online financial course for couples titled Budget With Your Boo. “Just because one person makes more doesn’t mean they get more say in things and if someone makes less, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t contributing.” Scriver and Gilbert are in a better place now that Scriver’s freelancing business has grown, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. Scriver credits the couple’s solid communication with their success in putting mind over money matters. “Ultimately, whenever any of Simon’s stressy feelings or anxiety transfers over to me, we just talk about it right away.” Sofi Papamarko is a writer and matchmaker who lives in Toronto.

Kids strive to be picture perfect on Snapshots photography

New CBC show helps young shutterbugs hone skills Sara Lake usually reaches for her tablet, a Polaroid or her dad’s phone to capture images, but her recent use of a fancier conventional camera offered a whole new lens into the world of photography. “(It has) more zooming effects, so it makes everything look way more clear,” said the bubbly 10-year-old. “Sometimes it’s hard to zoom in, or when you press the but- ton and sometimes it doesn’t click properly,” she ad-

mitted. “It’s difficult, sometimes, but it’s really fun.” Sara is one of several young shutterbugs getting a hands-on education on the finer points of photography on the CBC-TV children’s series Snapshots, which premieres Saturday. Each episode sees three youngsters take part in photography challenges aimed at fostering competition, developing their skills of the craft and showcasing their knack for creativity. Mentors are present to offer guidance to competitors on how to adjust their cameras or position their bodies to capture the ideal images. Photography experts later judge from among their best photos. Meanwhile, a companion website (Cbc.ca/kidscbc2) will allow kids across Canada to compete in a digital spinoff contest based on the challenges featured in the show.

“The kids that are on this show love photography and love an opportunity to learn about it and showcase their skills to other people,” said Snapshots host Dalmar Abuzeid. “They’re able to talk about what they like about their shots. They’re able to talk with their peers. They’re able to talk with their mentors. I think that’s so important, and I think that really shows with the quality of the pictures that the kids take.” Fellow Snapshots contestants Kayla St. Ange and Brayden Williams, both aged nine, each make use of their tablets for photos. Kayla said she likes to snap images of graffiti and the sea, while Brayden’s vast range of photo subjects includes sunsets, sports and animals. Both said they’ve gained valuable skills through participating in the photo competition series.

“I’ve learned how to do a proper angle because the mentor taught us a lot about that,” said Kayla, who said the key is to move to a lower position to find a “nice one.” Added Brayden: “I’ve learned how to get the full body in (to a shot), and I’ve learned landscaping, which is (shooting) horizontally, and I use portrait, which is (shooting) vertically.” Abuzeid said he’s picked up a few photography pointers as well, such as the different aspects of backlighting and focusing images. He also marvelled at the ability of the youngsters to receive criticism of their work. “If I was eight or nine and I was getting critiqued on my work ... I don’t know if I’d be able to take in that information and apply it, but I think the kids on this show are really listening. “When they hear they need to incorporate more light into their photos, I feel like they’re going home and they’re taking those notes.” the canadian press

Sci-fi drama Zoo throws up some comedic gold

In Zoo, character Mitch, the world’s leading (um, only) veterinary pathologist, says things like, “I’m going to introduce seven genome fossils into his DNA.” contributed THE SHOW: Zoo, Season 2, Episode 11 (CTV) THE MOMENT: “It’s complicated.”

Animals are killing humans in coordinated attacks. Evil General Davies (Peter Outerbridge) wants to release TX gas worldwide to kill them all. But a rogue unit — zoologists, soldiers, a reporter and a politico, who are circling the globe on a two-story, trickedout plane — is working against the clock on an alternate plan. “Why does Davies think you have the TX gas formula?” zoologist Jackson (James Wolk), panting, asks his long-lost scientist father Robert (Ken Olin). “Because I created TX,” Robert answers, panting. “You want to kill all the animals and 2.2 million people?” Jackson pants. “It’s complicated,” Robert pants. Is it ever. I would love to be in the writers’ room, because clearly, anything goes. “Hey, let’s use electrified ants as a de-

fibrillator!” “Great! How about if everyone inexplicably goes to Helsinki and a reindeer herd runs over a car?” “Only if Davies releases a rampaging gorilla in the Russian embassy!” Team boss Mitch, the world’s leading (um, only) veterinary pathologist, who says things like, “I’m going to introduce seven genome fossils into his DNA,” is a cynical misanthrope. Naturally two rebels are hopelessly in love with him: politico Allison (Joanne Kelly), who wears pencil skirts as loungewear; and reporter Jamie (Kristen Connolly), who puts her head in her hands and sighs a lot (that trait is accurate). Despite their animal problem, they apparently have solved the fossil fuel problem, because the plane never stops. Episode 12 heads to the mysterious island of Pangea, where (extinct) sabre-tooth cats roam. I can’t wait.

Why women aren’t wearing bras style

QUOTED

Fashion and feminism collide in latest trend In ancient Greece, women wrapped bands of linen across their chests. In the 1500s and beyond, restrictive corsets were commonplace among the higher classes of Western society. In 1914, American socialite Mary Phelps Jacob patented the first modern brassiere. Since then, there have been bullet bras and WonderBras and sports bras and the “world’s sexiest bras,” as Victoria’s Secret claims, and all sorts of padded and plunging and push-up varieties. But in summer 2016, many women decided to ditch them all. Across the pond, the Evening Standard declared “Free the Nipple” was this summer’s biggest fashion trend, though not always tied to the feminist equality movement of the same name. Celebrities like Kardashian-sister-turned-model Kendall Jenner have made headlines for going bra-free — in her case, following a blog post where she wrote, “I really don’t see what the big deal is with going braless.” Plenty of Toronto women agree. Some cite fashion, others feminism, and many just basic comfort. Whatever the reason, it’s a clear rejection of the pushup bras and uniform silhouettes long peddled by lingerie retailers. “The pendulum is swinging the other way,” says Catherine Hundleby, a professor of women and gender studies at the University of Windsor. “Many women,

mainly small-breasted women, are enjoying a freedom.” That’s the case for Britt Caron, a child and youth worker in Toronto. A self-described smallchested woman, she wore padded bras when she was younger, but now, at 27, skips wearing a bra as often as possible for comfort reasons. “I’m a feminist, and a big fem-activist, and I believe women can do whatever they want, and should do whatever they want,” Caron adds. “I don’t believe women should feel pressure one way or the other.” During conversations of bra-free comfort, feminism is sometimes the undercurrent. Hundleby says the trend is rejecting uniformity in the fashion world — that women should all

many women around the world are policed for their clothing choices, others have the comparative freedom to go bra-free and, in the case of celebrities like Kendall Jenner, flaunt nipple piercings publicly. That’s raising eyebrows among some feminists. Jean Golden, a professor of sociology at Ryerson University, says the brafree trend isn’t a substantive feminist issue, or a political movement. “It’s a personal choice, especially for young women, framed by the hyper-sexualized media portrayal of young women’s bodies,” she says. “It does not address systemic sexism. It could be argued it feeds into it.” torstar news service

Careers You can do this hairstylist/barber

‘Hairstyling is an art form’

WHY I LIKE MY JOB

Sargon Daved, 28, Senior Stylist at Salon Mirage & Spa in Hamilton, Ont. As a child, I preferred playing ‘salon’ to ‘house.’ I always knew I wanted to do something creative professionally, but I didn’t know where to start. At first I pursued fashion design; however, I soon learned that the profession didn’t favour my social style. My entire day was spent with a sewing machine, and although it might be for some people, it wasn’t for me. That’s when I decided to sign up with Marvel Beauty Schools for hairstyling. It was an intensive, 10-month program that taught me everything from short cuts to wig and hair enhancements. I knew I was cut out for the industry when I accepted my first full-time job and watched in amazement as my book of clients began to expand. For this, I thank my gift of the gab. If there wasn’t a social aspect to my job, I don’t know how I’d function. Hairstyling is an art form. I love giving my clients advice about their hair, and often joke that their self-confidence is in my hands. In a way, I’m in control of how they feel about themselves — and despite the pressure, it motivates me to ensure each client walks away feeling confident and See more of Sargon Daved’s hairstyle creations on Instagram, @sargon.daved. contributed/instagram fabulous.

THE BASICS: Hairstylist/Barber

$28,750 Median annual salary for an entry-level hairstylist or barber. Experienced stylists can expect to earn an average salary of $42,500.

+12% Projected job growth rate over the next 8 years Data for this feature was provided by payscale.com, jobbank. gc.ca, academycanada.com and onetonline.org.

HOW TO START

Generally, an apprentice must accumulate approximately 3,500 hours of on-the-job and in-school training to be considered competent in the trade. This can take up to two years; however, most trade programs administer training within a public salon to give students direct access to clients. Typical courses can include client service, cutting and styling, colouring, chemical hair relaxing and salon operations. After completing the mandated work hours, graduates are eligible to write the interprovincial journey-person examination to be recognized as certified specialists in the trade.

WHERE YOU CAN GO With the exception of buzz-cutting robots, advanced technology likely won’t replace the need for trained hairstylists or barbers. In fact, most clients seek personal connections and trusting relationships with their stylists. Job prospects are particularly promising for barbers, colour technicians and aspiring salon managers. Those seeking management-level positions may require additional schooling in business, marketing, salon design and accounting fundamentals.

Gimbel raising the bar on laser eye surgery There are some exciting new changes on the horizon for Gimbel Eye Centre Edmonton, which is continually raising the bar when it comes to the laser eye surgery industry. “Dr. Daniel Senekal is taking over the centre as owner and medical director and brings decades of experience in cataract, glaucoma and refractive surgery. He will continue the tradition of Gimbel being at the forefront of Refractive laser eye surgery,” says Gregg Becker, Chief Operating Officer. As well, Dr. Kulbir Gill has joined the practice. “Dr. Gill is offering Comprehensive Ophthalmology and Glaucoma care, further expanding the services provided by Gimbel Edmonton and we are excited to have Drs Gill and Senekal on board.” Gimbel Edmonton now offers the latest and next generation in Refractive laser surgery — the SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) procedure, which treats myopic/ nearsighted patients, and those with astigmatism.

“SMILE is well known globally, with over 1,000 surgeons successfully treating over 500,000 patients in over 60 countries, but it is relatively new to Canada. The procedure is an alternative to PRK and Lasik, and offers advantages such as being flapless, less invasive with a much smaller incision, and minimal dry eye effects, which allows almost immediate resumption of physical activity,” Senekal says. “It is ideal for people with active lifestyles, work that might result in accidental impact to the eye (police or fire services), or those who play contact sports.” Gimbel will continue to also offer PRK, Lasik and ICL implants for patients for whom these procedures are optimal. For more information, please call Gimbel Eye Centre at 780-452-4111.

THE GIMBEL DIFFERENCE EXPERIENCE: We’ve been doing eye surgery for over 50 years, staying at the forefront of innovation while standing the test of time. OPTIONS: We offer choices of several surgical procedures based on your needs, preference and test results. QUALITY: We spend time with you, performing extensive testing, and a doctor will help you understand your options.

It might be surprising to learn that one in every two Edmonton adults have only lowlevel math skills and one in every three struggle with reading or writing. This can make it very challenging to take an entrance exam to an educational program, says P.A.L.S. (Project Adult Literacy Society Math Literacy) coordinator Monica Das, who says that basic math in particular is becoming a much-more needed skill in today’s economy. “There is nowhere else for people who struggle with math to go so that’s where we step in to help,” she says. P.A.L.S. is a community based literacy program that addresses the learning needs of adults with low-level literacy and math skills. Volunteers from the community work with adult students to help them meet their goals. “We offer one-to-one tutoring and I can’t emphasize enough that we couldn’t possibly do this without the help of our amazing volunteers,” Das says, adding that there are over 90 students for 44 volunteers. “They work very, very hard at helping

They helped me become more confident and more knowledgeable,” he says, adding he would recommend the program to others. For more information, call 780-4245514 or visit palsedmonton.ca.

Eskimos’ spark fizzles out in Labour Day loss CFL

Stampeders push their unbeaten streak to nine games Rookie linebacker Kenny Ladler gave the Edmonton Eskimos a spark late in the first half against the Calgary Stampeders on Monday at McMahon Stadium. Ladler picked off an errant pass by Stamps quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell and ran it back 65 yards into the Calgary end zone. After Grant Shaw booted a single on the ensuing kickoff, Edmonton cut Calgary’s early lead to 24-17 and was right back in it. But that’s as close as the Eskimos would get in the Labour Day matchup.

“We had all the momentum in the world going into halftime,” said Edmonton coach Jason Maas, whose team fell to 5-5 after dropping a 45-24 decision to the 8-1-1 Stampeders. “Our defence made that play and turned the momentum of the game around.” Despite the setback, Maas was pleased with Ladler’s performance, which included five tackles to go with his interception and TD. “That’s what you want,” said Maas. “You want to have your

two teams meet for a rematch in Edmonton at Commonwealth Stadium. “I’d like to take the momentum into the next game and possibly make bigger plays like this and the rest of the season,” he said. Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly went 23-for-36 for 219 yards, including a 36-yard TD pass to Derel Walker in the second quarter to go with two interceptions. “Obviously we’re capable of playing better than we did today,” said Reilly, who also ran for a 19-yard score late in the fourth quarter. “It’s one thing to talk about it, but you’ve got to go out and do it. They’re a good football team and they’re in first place for a reason. “I didn’t feel like we were anywhere near our best performance, so we’ve got to figure out what changes we can make in the next couple of days and figure out how to play a better football game on Saturday.” Maas agreed with his starting quarterback’s assessment. “Bottom line is we didn’t play well enough as a team to win this game and they did,” he said. “We’ve got to learn from our mistakes, learn from the film and repay the favour come Saturday.” Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell threw touchdown passes to Anthony Parker and Bakari Grant and another twopoint convert to Grant. Calgary back Jerome Messam sealed the win for the hosts with a pair of rushing touchdowns late in the fourth quarter. He rumbled for 110 yards on 18 carries in the game.

Federer’s wins mark sunk by Serena Serena Williams now owns more victories in Grand Slam matches than anyone else in tennis’ Open era, surpassing Roger Federer with her 308th. So, Serena, who’ll wind up with more? “I don’t know. We’ll see,” Williams said during her oncourt interview after reaching the U.S. Open quarter-finals by beating Yaroslava Shvedova 6-2, 6-3 on Monday. “Hopefully we’ll both keep going,” she added. “I know I plan on it. I know he does. So we’ll see.” Federer turned 35 on Aug. 8. Williams turns 35 on Sept. 26. Williams’ very first win at a

Grand Slam tournament came way back when she was 16, a 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-1 victory over Irina Spirlea in the Serena Williams first round of the Getty Images Australian Open on Jan. 19, 1998. Williams’ first loss at a major came in her next match, which happened to come against older sister Venus. Nearly two decades later, through plenty of highs and lows, from championships to health scares, the younger Williams is still at it — and still winning. The Associated Press

Rory digs deep to grab unlikely glory Three holes into the Deutsche Bank Championship, Rory McIlroy had to make a 15-foot putt just to escape with triple bogey. He already was 4-over-par and had every reason to believe this tournament in Norton, Mass., was headed for an outcome that was becoming far too familiar for a player of his class. But there was one difference. His head didn’t drop. His shoulders didn’t sag. McIlroy went from a miserable start to a memorable finish, closing with a 6-under 65 on Monday to make up a six-shot deficit and win the Deutsche Bank Championship for his 20th career title around the

world. “It’s just incredible, this game, how quickly things can change,” McIlroy Rory said after his twoMcIlroy shot victory over Getty Images Paul Casey. “It’s been a great lesson for me this week not to get down on myself, to stay patient. After three holes Friday, there was so much going through my head, and none of those things involved sitting beside a trophy.” It was also McIlroy’s first PGA Tour victory of the year.

Not intimidated World Cup of Hockey

North America’s under-24 team likes its chances in tournament Connor McDavid believes Team North America’s youth will be the group’s main asset at the World Cup of Hockey, not its Achilles heel. Last year’s first-overall draft pick was optimistic following North America’s 90-minute practice at Bell Centre on Monday — the team’s first of 13 practices ahead of its tournament-opener against Finland on Sept. 18. “Everyone has us pegged as the underdogs and we’ll happily take that,” said the 19-yearold McDavid. “We’re going to surprise some teams. We have a lot of speed and skill. “That’s definitely our character trait. We just have to use it to our advantage.” North America, which is made up of players 23 years old and younger, is in a pool with veteran-filled teams Sweden, Finland and Russia. McDavid’s sentiment that skill and speed will be a gamechanger for Team North America was echoed throughout the dressing room. “What’s going to help us is how fast we are,” said Edmonton’s Ryan NugentHopkins. “We have youth on this team, so we should be able to jump into things right away.” Added

19-year-old Jack Eichel: “We’re young and we can use that to our advantage. We can play with a lot of pace.” Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon suggested the tournament’s format — three group-stage games followed by a semifinal and a best-of-three final series — was to North America’s advantage. “This isn’t a full season or playoffs,” said MacKinnon, who is one of 11 Canadians on Team North America.

“This is one-and-done. We have the talent and ability to beat anyone. I don’t think there’s a more skilled team than ours.” Head coach Todd McLellan tested out line combinations for the first time on Monday after weeks of brainstorming. McDavid played with Mark Scheifele of the Jets and Jonathan Drouin of the Lightning. Johnny Gaudreau was on a line with Eichel and Brandon Saad, while Auston Matthews practised with MacKinnon and

You saw just today at practice how quick he is, how smart he is with the puck.” On defence, Morgan Rielly was paired with Aaron Ekblad.

sure as well, but I really just want to go there and have the best swim meet of my life and hopefully bring medals home.” Rivard has developed into one of the best para-swimmers in the world since the 2012 London Games. She claimed five medals at the 2013 world championships in Montreal and collected a bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Last summer she won two gold and four total medals at the world championships, breaking Canadian records in the 50- and 400-metre freestyles.

Rivard topped off her impressive 2015 with six gold and one silver at the Parapan Am Games in Toronto, which included a world record time of 59.17 seconds in the S-10 100 freestyle final. Rivard took silver in the 400 freestyle in London and said she has learned to trust herself and have more self-confidence since. “I used to be a little girl, super tiny and shy and so impressed by the whole world,” Rivard said. “I thought everybody was better than me and everybody believed in me but me.”
