Edmonton schoolkids are trailing their Calgary counterparts when it comes to how many are getting HPV vaccines, and Alberta Health Services isn’t sure why. On Sunday, AHS provided data to Metro that shows 76.4 per cent of Grade 5 and 76.8 per cent of Grade 9 schoolboys in the Calgary Zone received three doses, the recommended number, of the HPV vaccine during the 2015-16 school year. The Edmonton Zone, however, saw 58.4 per cent of Grade 5 and 61.9 per cent of Grade 9 boys receiving three doses of the vaccine. That’s an 18 percentage point and 15 percentage point difference respectively when compared to the Calgary Zone. Dr. Richard Musto, an AHS medical officer of health, gave no rationale behind
the Edmonton Zone’s lower numbers. “I assume they’re all doing their best to take the opportunity to present,” he said. “I don’t know why there is that variation.” The same Calgary-Edmonton comparison can be seen in schoolgirls. In the Calgary Zone, 77 per cent of Grade 5 and 84.4 per cent of Grade 9 girls received three doses of the vaccine. The Edmonton Zone saw 61.4 per cent of Grade 5 and 70 per cent of Grade 9 schoolgirls get three doses. Last year, AHS Medical Officer of Health Dr. Judy MacDonald said educational tools, research and conversations about vaccines have swayed public opinion, resulting in more students receiving the vaccine. Both the Edmonton and Calgary zones fare much better in the one-dose category, as both have generally seen increases. “It’s an important vaccine for the prevention of a number of cancers,” Musto said. “Our public-health team, the nurses that deliver it in the schools, are well organized and continue to look at ways to optimize delivery.” Almost all head and neck cancers in Albertan men under 40 are HPV related. Two types of HPV are also known to cause 70 per cent of cervical cancers in women.

is Police bomb squad does Success mixed on projects important, secretive work wetland reclamation
five counts of possession of stolen property, four counts of possession of a controlled substance, and three counts of possession of body armour without a valid permit — as well as possession of explosive substance without lawful excuse, and possession of an explosive substance without exercising reasonable care.
The challenge makes turning bitumen into oil seem like the easy part. Faced with reclaiming open-pit mines that were once thriving wetlands, Suncor and Syncrude have been trying to do what’s never been done — rebuilding one of the most complex, diverse and delicate ecosystems in the boreal forest. Three years into the groundbreaking, high-profile projects, early successes are emerging. Suncor’s Nikanotee fen and Syncrude’s Sandhills fen are staying wet year-round. They’re growing some typical fen plants. Even better, they’ve begun to store carbon in their peaty depths. “(That’s) one of the core functions of a fen ecosystem, so that’s really great,” said Joshua Martin, Suncor’s reclamation director. But the overall plant mix isn’t what it was. Soil and water chemistry has changed. Biodiversity has shrunk. The fens don’t seem to be developing into what was there before and nobody really knows how they will evolve. “We can’t kid ourselves,” said Jonathan Price of the University of Waterloo, one of the main experts behind Nikanotee. “We can’t replace nature.” Fen recovery is so uncertain and expensive that one researcher suggests resources would be better used elsewhere. “It’s useful for scientists, but I don’t think it’s cost-effective over large areas,” said the University of Alberta’s Lee Foote, who was involved with the projects for years before stepping back. “We can pour all this money into a fruitless reclamation attempt or ... turn around and take that money and do something really good with it.” Fens are wetlands that are permanently waterlogged with an alkaline, peaty soil that stores vast amounts of carbon. They filter water and store it during dry years and are considered essential to the boreal ecosystem. Suncor has promised to restore about one-fifth of the more than 100 square kilometres of wetland it plans to disturb. The company has only committed to the Nikanotee fen, which covers about 10 hectares. They are, after all, finicky. “Not too wet; not too dry,” said Dale Vitt, one of the experts advising Syncrude. “This sweet spot is where the fen plants come in.”

Techs need to be extensively trained to defuse threats Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton The Edmonton Police Service Bomb Unit stays busy but the general public knows little about its work. The unit was called in Tuesday for an explosive device made from a pound seismic gel — a material available commercially with a licence — at a southeast Edmonton residence where numerous firearms were seized. The neighbourhood had to be evacuated for several hours while bomb technicians used a counter charge to destroy the explosive on site. That amount of explosive was “extremely significant” and would result in “catastrophic injuries” if set off in an open area, according to Bomb Unit member Sgt. Grant Jongejan. He said it’s not uncommon to find explosives at a house where drugs and other illegal items are seized. “It can be used for anything from destruction of property to actually injuring individuals,” he said. When Jongejan responds to the site of a suspected explosive, he surveys the scene and uses his expertise to determine what type of device he’s deal-

ing with, and whether it can be safely transported. All Bomb Unit members are trained to a national standard through the Canadian Police College in Ottawa and have to get re-certified every three years. “If we feel that it’s a product that we’re able to move to
another location we will. In most cases though, that unfortunately is not what’s going to happen,” he said. Secrecy is paramount. The 11-member unit is consistently busy, but divulging technical details of their work, or substances that are often found in homemade explosives, could
put them in danger. “The more information we provide, whether it’s on our render-safe practices or on the device itself, now you’re putting me at greater risk. Because if somebody’s going to take that information and use it for a criminal purpose, they might start targeting bomb techni-
cians or police,” Jongejan said. Another concern is that regular people will take information and start tinkering with explosives in their own back yards. “Even though they might not be doing anything of a criminal nature, accidents happen with these sorts of things and now that leads to injuries.”

Man faces 70 charges after police seize guns, explosives
A man was hit with more than 70 charges after police seized guns, drugs, explosives and stolen property from a southeast Edmonton home earlier this week. Police conducted a search warrant Tuesday afternoon at a house and detached garage near 20 Avenue and 46 Street in relation to a drug and weapons investigation.
There, they seized 12 firearms (including various long barrel guns, sawed-off shotguns and handguns), ammunition, silencers and suppressors, body armour, two stolen skid steers and a stolen flat deck trailer. “We’re extremely pleased and happy to get this off the street and into our possession,” EPS Staff Sgt. Don Curle said Friday.
Police also found an improvised explosive device in the garage, forcing an evacuation of the neighbourhood before the EPS Explosive Disposal Unit detonated the explosives nearby, resulting in damage to the garage window. Later that day, police executed a related search warrant on a home near 39 Avenue and 76 Street, where they found meth-
amphetamine, hash, heroin, marijuana, drug scales, baggies and more than $3,000 cash. Police caught the suspect in a traffic stop early Tuesday afternoon and took him into custody without incident. Graham McCagherty, 30, has been charged with 47 counts of possession of a prohibited device, 12 counts of unsafe storage of a firearm,

Not just housing: Home community
Alex Boyd
Metro | Edmonton The three-storey walk-up on a quiet street is home to the first housing program for people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder — believed to be the first of its kind in Canada. Hope Terrace was officially opened Friday, though it has been operating since just after Christmas. There’s enough room for 24 people, plus the staff who are on site to provide support specific to people diagnosed with FASD. Casandra Maslyk, 20, has lived here since April. Sitting in her sunny living room she talks about how she likes to longboard and hang out with her friends. But before moving in she’d had bigger concerns: She’d been homeless for three years, constantly scrambling to find something to eat and a place to sleep. Now, she has a key to her own place, a roommate and a community that understands what she’s going through. “It took a couple of months to realize that I can call this my home and it was pretty emotional to me. Just one day I woke up and I was like, this is my house, this is my own,” she said. “It feels amazing.” The facility is a partnership between Homeward Trust and the

first strategy is essential to tackling homelessness, but supports are important, too. “It’s not just about money. It’s not just about a roof. It’s about inclusion,” he said.

nosed — a number that Bissell Centre CEO Gary St. Amand says may actually be low. “I think it is really is underdiagnosed, would be my suspicion,” he said.
The push for a safe injection site in Edmonton has found a key supporter in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. The organization voted unanimously Thursday to support a safe injection site, following a presentation by University of Alberta professor Stan Houston with Access to Medically Supervised Injection Services — a group that has been pushing for the facility for close to four years. Houston said a safe injection site is getting closer to become a reality, with shifting public opinion and federal and provincial governments that are less conservative. “There’s been a big shift in public discourse and in press coverage over this topic over the past two or three years. So I think that, to a substantial degree, the public has become more aware of it,” he said. Only Vancouver currently has a safe injection site, but the idea is gaining ground as deaths from opiate overdoses ramp up across Alberta. Houston said injecting in public not only leads to more overdoses and disease, but also bacterial infections, not to mention discarded needles putting other members of the public at risk. “If people have the opportunity to engage in a positive relationship with health-care workers, the health-care system, then there is a very good chance that they can move forward to addressing their long list of challenges,” he said.

fights Slur leaves woman fearful Zoo back after wildlife
diversity
Resident says she’s shaken after motorists targeted her Tim Querengesser Metro | Edmonton
Grace Ohioze’s eyes tear as she explains why she now “constantly” watches her back. “The next thing I heard was ‘Hey n----r,’ and they all started laughing,” Grace says, telling the story of the racial abuse she faced over the labour day weekend while walking in her southeast Edmonton suburb. She says two men, in a brown and off-white pickup truck, drove from behind, yelled the slur and then “zoomed” off. All Grace says she saw was the truck’s colour — no licence plate or even faces. “I was shocked. I heard them laughing. I was shaken when I heard it,” she says. “I was hoping they don’t come down from the truck, or wait for me. I was trying to check if anybody was

behind me.” Grace’s story is the third in two months of motorists abusing fellow citizens with the racist slur, and follows the recent Make it Awkward campaign started in response, one that’s been endorsed by not only Mayor Don Iveson but now, Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau. Grace, 27, moved to Edmonton from Nigeria in 2013 to join her brother, Idowu, who’d moved here in 2006 to attend the University of Alberta. Idowu is now a lawyer and has worked as a civilian with the Edmonton Police Service
to build trust with immigrant communities. Today, he drives Grace to and from her retail store job so she feels safe. He said that he and people in his community haven’t experienced this abuse in Edmonton before, and believes the uptick in cases is reactionary.
“I think it’s because we’re now shining a light (on) those in Edmonton who are racist in nature and they are just fighting back.” But Idowu also questions whether the Make it Awkward social media campaign aimed at racism is as helpful as simply keeping the matters with police. He says every case should be reported to police, who should act and reassure those who face abuse or cast it about that there are consequences. But Jesse Lipscombe, who created the campaign after a motorist yelled a racial slur at him downtown, says he’s met with the Edmonton police’s hate crimes unit and filed an official statement — and notes yelling a slur isn’t criminally chargeable. “I would just disagree (with Idowu), based on the literally thousands of emails I’ve got from families and parents and schools talking about how it’s the complete opposite. It’s teaching people not to be complacent,” he says. “It’s probably one of the most productive things I’ve ever seen or used. Leaving everything in the hands of police, I think, is more of a passive waiting game.”
accusation Ryan Tumilty
Metro | Edmonton The Edmonton Valley Zoo says the latest legal move to try and have Lucy the elephant moved is familiar territory and making charges that aren’t true. Toronto-based Zoocheck, in conjunction with the local group Voice for Animals, has filed an application with the court that charges the zoo is not living up to provincial standards when it comes to Lucy. It argues that the zoo should invest heavily in upgrading her enclosure or move her to a sanctuary. The zoo’s director Denis Prefontaine said there is nothing wrong with Lucy’s enclosure. He said the zoo allows Lucy to walk around the facility, effectively increasing the size of her enclosure. “We really see Lucy as having the whole zoo available to her.” Zoocheck argues the walks are a problem and not a solution, saying a large elephant shouldn’t be that close to people.

Metro | Edmonton When the majority of Fort McMurray residents evacuated to Edmonton last May top priority for many was maintaining some semblance of normalcy: which for kids, meant school. On Friday, the Fort McMurray school district sent a letter of thanks to Edmonton Public, expressing gratitude for taking in approximately 1,000 students, some just days after the fire. “Our students’ welcome was heart-warming and certainly demonstrated the character of Albertans and Canadians,” wrote board Chair Jeff Thompson. “Thank you again for everything your system implemented to ensure our students and families experienced love and support during such an unprecedented event. It made such a difference for our district and region.”

Alberta’s medical regulator wants more stringent rules on how physicians prescribe opioid painkillers and other drugs to improve the safety of patients. The College of Physicians and Surgeons says next month it will send draft proposals for a standard of practice called “Safe Prescribing” to doctors, the provincial government and others seeking feedback in the hope of approving it next March. The college notes that opioid prescribing by Alberta doctors is among the highest in the country, and that Canada is one of the top three countries in the world for painkiller use. “Data obtained from the Triplicate Prescription Program in 2015 reveals a significant number of Alberta physicians continue to prescribe opioid dosages in excess of the max-
chronic pain other than cancer. Dr. Trevor Theman, registrar of Alberta’s college, said they want to move quickly with changes after they hear back from physicians and the government. “Obviously Alberta and Canada have a huge issue around opioid overuse and misuse,” he said. “Others have called it a crisis, and I think that is a fair characterization.” Theman said better drug prescribing rules are just one part of the solution. He said there must be enough alternate treatment programs to help patients who have become dependent on opioids to manage their pain. “The problem exists right now. Those who are responsible, whether that is Alberta Health Services or the Alberta government or whoever it might be, I think need to take seriously the issue of opioid abuse and opioid use disorder and make it a high priority to ensure that patients and the providers looking after their patients have access to treatment facilities.”

Books getting less and less popular among students Declining math scores may be on educators’ minds right now, but reading is still considered key to student achievement in all subjects. Now, a cross-Canada coalition is trying to promote a love of books, worried about the growing number of students who say they don’t like to read for pleasure. “There’s been a recent trend toward STEM programs (science/technology/engineering/ math), and from our perspective … if you can’t read well, you are not doing well in math or science,” said Mohamed Huque, associate director of the National Reading Campaign, a not-for-profit that

is urging governments and school boards to make the issue a priority. “The positive effect of reading transcends marks for English or language arts; it really does
translate beyond academic achievement. There are tons of studies showing the positive effects of reading on mental health (and) building empathy,” among other benefits,
he added. At a symposium earlier this year, the campaign crafted a statement saying it’s time for “ministries of education, school boards and principals (to) … adopt policies that make reading for pleasure possible, and that they should be accountable for reporting on the provision of such programs.” In Ontario alone, the percentage of Grade 3 students who say they like to read “most of the time” sat at less than half — 47 per cent in 201314, down from 49 per cent the year prior. Among Grade 6 students, that figure dropped to 47 per cent in 2013-14 from 48 per cent in 2012-13, according to the most up-to-date statistics from the province’s Education Quality and Accountability Office, which has also found that kids who read for pleasure perform better on standardized tests over time.

For Juliet Kivimaki, her wife Emmi Jarvela and their oneyear-old daughter Helmi, there was no other option but to flee Finland so that Kivimaki could have a shot at living as her true self — a trans woman. In order for Kivimaki to receive legal gender recognition in Finland, she has to agree to be sterilized. In desperation, the family of three left Finland behind and found refugee with an Ottawa family who knows a lot about what it means to be trans, and in transition. Amanda Jetté Knox and her wife, Zoe Knox, just came out as trans last year. The year before that, the couple’s 13-yearold daughter, Alexis, came out as trans too. “It’s almost like a cycle,” said Jetté Knox. “Every year in our house there’s (a) new person … who’s transitioning. Our family is two-thirds trans now.” Because of the common

ground, it’s been easy for the two families to become one. “When you’re living with another family that has another trans person in it there’s no explanation required,” said Jetté Knox. “We understand the good days, the bad days and the struggles and the celebrations. “It’s a very nice thing.” The two families first met in at Toronto Pride in July, and shortly after Jetté Knox drove the eight hour round trip drive to Toronto to pick Kivimaki and her family to bring them to Ottawa, where they would have a tighter network and a place to stay.

The politics of the moment weren’t entirely absent from the ceremony, where some victims’ relatives pleaded for the nation to look past its differences, ex-
Driver killed, students hurt in bus crash Police say the driver of a school bus that crashed at Denver International Airport circled back to the airport and crashed into a concrete pillar after she picked up members of a high school football team. Police spokesman John White says police do not know why she circled back to the airport Sunday afternoon. The driver, whose name and age were not been released, died at the scene. Authorities say that 17 to 20 passengers were taken to nearby hospitals. Officials at Denver Health told the KUSA TV station that they had five patients: two were in critical condition, two were in serious condition and one was in fair condition. The Denver Post reported that five patients in fair condition were taken to Children’s Hospital Colorado. KUSA reported that the bus is from Legacy High School, which is in Broomfield and is part of Adams 12 Five Star Schools. The Denver Post reports that the football team from Legacy played Chino High School on Friday night in California. the associated press

Less than two months from Election Day, it was an unwanted visual for Clinton as she tries to project the strength and vigour needed the job. Republican rival Donald Trump has spent months questioning Clinton’s health, saying she doesn’t have the stamina to be president.

The U.S. marked the 15th anniversary of 9-11 with the solemn roll call of the dead Sunday but couldn’t keep the presidential campaign from intruding on what is traditionally a politicsfree moment of remembrance. Hillary Clinton left about 90 minutes into the ground zero ceremony after feeling “overheated,” her campaign said. Video showed her knees buckling as three people helped the 68-yearold Democrat into a van in the muggy, 80-degree heat. Later in the day, she said she was “feeling great” as she walked to a vehicle. Clinton’s doctor on Sunday afternoon diagnosed her with pneumonia and she was advised to rest. A video showed Clinton slumping and being held up by three people as she was helped into a van after the event, and her doctor said in a statement that Clinton had become overheated and dehydrated.

pressed hopes for peace or called on the next commander-in-chief to ensure the country’s safety. Joseph Quinn, who lost his brother, Jimmy, appealed to Americans to regain the sense of unity that welled up after the terror attacks. “I know, in our current political environment, it may feel we’re divided. Don’t believe it,” said Quinn, who added that he served in the military in Iraq after Sept. 11. “Engage with your community. ... Be the connection we all desperately need.” Nearly 3,000 people died when terrorists slammed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 11, 2001. Organizers estimated 8,000 people gathered Sunday at the lower Manhattan spot where the twin towers once stood. They listened to the nearly four-hour recitation of the names of those killed. Clinton called off plans to visit the West Coast on Monday and Tuesday following the health episode. She was scheduled to attend fundraisers in California, and tape an episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show.

9-11 anniversary

President Barack Obama on Sunday marked the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by calling on Americans to embrace the nation’s character as a people drawn from every corner of the world, from every religion and from every background. He said extremist groups will never be able to defeat the United States. Obama spoke to hundreds of service members, and relatives and survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack. He said extremist organizations know they can never drive down the U.S., so they focus on trying to instil fear. “We know that our diversity, our patchwork heritage is not a weakness, it is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths,” Obama said.

Three female attackers killed in Kenya Police targeted
Suicide vest fails to go off in firebomb, knife raid Three women have been killed after they attacked a police station in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa on Sunday, a police official said.
One of the women threw a firebomb at officers while another pulled out a knife, Mombasa police chief Parterson Maelo said, adding two policemen were wounded in the attack. The women, who were dressed in niqabs, were then shot by police. One of the women had a suicide vest that didn’t detonate, another police official said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. But Kenya faces a constant danger of being
attacked by adherents of the Somali militant group al-Shabab, which has vowed retribution for Kenya’s deployment of troops to Somalia in 2011. Maelo said the women arrived at the central police station at about 10:30 a.m. to report a stolen telephone. “While the officers were questioning them about the particulars of the stolen phone one of them drew a knife and another threw a gasoline bomb at the
officers of the report office,” he said. Two of the suspects have been identified as Kenyans Fatuma Omar and Tasmin Yakub Abdullahi Farah, police spokesman Charles Owino said. One had a suicide vest that didn’t detonate, he added. A raid was conducted at Farah’s house, leading to the arrest of three Somali refugees for questioning, he said.

Big two back away from pot industry banking
Stores receive letters from Scotiabank, Royal Bank Scotiabank and the Royal Bank of Canada say they aren’t providing accounts to companies associated with the marijuana industry, leaving some business owners scrambling to find alternate arrangements. After a decade-long relation-
ship with Scotiabank, Hemp Country owner Nathan MacLellan says he received a letter from the bank late last month stating his account was being cancelled. The store in Woodstock, Ont., sells marijuanarelated items such as pipes and bongs but no actual cannabis, MacLellan says. “It’s kind of insulting really, especially when legalization is right on the horizon,” he said. Scotiabank spokesman Rick Roth said in an email that it aims to “manage risks soundly while making prudent business
decisions.” “This is why the bank has taken the decision to close existing small business accounts and to prohibit the opening of new accounts for customers classified as ‘marijuana-related business.”’ Royal Bank also confirmed that it doesn’t provide banking services to companies “engaged in the production and distribution of marijuana.” Bruce Linton, the CEO of Canopy Growth Corp., says he received a letter from RBC roughly a year ago informing
him the bank was cancelling the licensed producer’s account. He recalls other licensed producers received similar letters around that time. “My gut feeling is that probably someone in risk analysis somewhere determined that marijuana was a topic which had uncertainty surrounding it,” Linton said. “So rather than looking at determining which (companies) were in concert with the laws and which were not, all were treated the same.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Britons may need EU visas Britain’s immigration minister says U.K. citizens may have to pay for visas to visit European Union nations after the country leaves the bloc. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said that would not be desirable, “but we don’t rule it out.” Rudd told the BBC on Sunday that Britain would get the best deal it could from the EU, but it would be a “two-way negotiation.” The EU’s Schengen zone — which includes most nations in the bloc — is considering an electronic travel authorization system similar to one the U.S. uses for visitors from selected countries. Visitors from outside the EU would have to apply online and pay a fee. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Greece presses creditors Greece’s prime minister is pressing for speedier action from bailout creditors to ease the country’s huge debt burden. Alexis Tsipras told reporters Sunday that Greece “has the right for a fair debt adjustment” after years of punishing spending and income cuts. Greece’s creditors have said they are prepared to discuss better repayment terms for the country’s debt, which exceeds 175 per cent of annual economic output. On Monday, Greek officials will meet in Athens with representatives of bailout creditors. The finance ministry says the talks will focus on fighting corruption and Greece’s ambitious privatization program. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hop growers look to new areas to slake U.S. thirst for crop
Geoff Keating grows a prized plant at the northeastern edge of the country, some 3,000 miles away from the region of America most associated with his crop — hops. Americans’ growing thirst for bitter, flavour-packed styles of beer has brought an unprecedented demand for hops, so growers are looking to new places to harvest its flowers. Hops are used to provide bit-
terness, aroma and flavour to beer. In the U.S., the vast majority are grown in Washington state, with significant numbers grown in Oregon and Idaho. But hop growers in states like Michigan, New York and Maine, where Geoff Keating runs the Hop Yard farm in Gorham and Fort Fairfield, are starting to ramp up production. The growth dovetails with craft beer’s growth, and its pas-
sion for using local ingredients. “As far as Maine-grown hops, anything done at good quality that’s coming out of Maine is being used by brewers,” Keating said. “We have limited supply.” The demand for hops is high, in part, because of America’s obsession with India pale ales, which use large amounts of hops to create flavours and aromas that recall fruit and pine.
Total U.S. hop acreage grew by almost 20 per cent to more than 53,000 acres this year, according to the Hop Growers of America. And brewers still often gripe about shortages of some hop varieties. In the U.S., the amount of acreage outside of the Pacific Northwest states grew from less than 900 in 2014 to more than 1,200 last year to nearly 2,100 this year, the growers
association noted. Michigan’s acreage doubled to 650 this year, and Wisconsin’s grew by nearly 75 per cent to almost 300 acres. “We are certainly getting a lot of calls from people saying they would like to be hop growers,” said Jaki Brophy, spokeswoman for the growers association. “There has been an interest in growing outside of the Pacific Northwest.”
Prices for hops have also been high in recent years, even as the total amount of hop acreage and pounds of hops produced hits record highs. The price of hops can vary widely based on the variety — there are hundreds, some of which are proprietary — but the average price of U.S. hops rose from $3.67 to $4.38 per pound last year.

THE QUESTION
I gave my co-worker an idea that he used to great effect. But I didn’t get any credit. Am I right to want some? Dear Ellen, A while ago, I met up with a co-worker on my morning commute. He was having trouble with a project, so I suggested the approach I would take. He said that was a great idea, and we went our separate ways. Later, after he finished the project, our boss paraded him around, saying how great it was and having him give a presentation on how he implemented the method I suggested that morning on the bus. This irked me, and I even said to him “Isn’t that what I suggested?” but he brushed me off. He did do an excellent job, but I wish he’d at least mentioned me when presenting the strategy I came up with. Do I have a right to want acknowledgment? Irked Dear Irked, Rest assured that you have asked the right person about how to deal with this, as I — like most writers — spend a lot of time and energy pondering the problem of idea-stealing b------s who refuse to share credit. Many a sleepless night has gone by while I writhe with resentment over those monsters who shamelessly exploit my genius, then profit off my original stories and concepts without a word of gratitude, not to
I’d bet my life George Harrison didn’t deliberately plagiarize 1963’s He’s So Fine for his 1970 hit My Sweet Lord.
mention cold, hard cash. Unfortunately, some other nights I also lose sleep as I writhe in defensive contortions over certain bits of, er, um, “material” I’ve scavenged from the lives of everyone around me for my own profit (which doesn’t amount to much, I can assure you, in the current freelance-hack marketplace, but nevertheless). The fact is, anyone involved in a creative endeavour, whether it’s an office project or a slim volume of haikus, is constantly mining every moment of the day for fodder and inspiration. It’s both conscious and unconscious. I can’t speak for Robin Thicke, whose Blurred Lines was found by a jury to be a bad-faith ripoff of Marvin Gaye’s Got To Give It Up.
But I’d bet my life George Harrison didn’t deliberately plagiarize 1963’s “He’s So Fine” for his 1970 hit “My Sweet Lord.” In your case, I’ll give your co-worker some slack in matters of interpretation, inspiration and execution. But I will also absolutely agree with you that he should have acknowledged that he brainstormed a bit with you, and that it helped him. In future, if you want to make sure you get credit, follow up such commuter convos with a friendly email: “Hey, I was thinking more about your project and here is my idea in more detail …” Now you have an e-trail that establishes your claim on proper credit — or, keep in mind, blame, if it
all goes sideways. But an even better approach, if you can do it, is to let it go. Continue to spread your innovative ideas amongst your fellow humans with generosity and enthusiasm, and take deserved satisfaction in knowing you are making the world a better place. Addendum to last week’s column about men in sandals: We’ve had letters pointing out my inexcusable negligence in addressing the question of socks. Please be advised that, yes, they’re a fashion faux pas, but acceptable to those of us who’d rather look at unsexy socks than unsexy feet. Need advice? Email Ellen:

Bad-apple approach won’t rid us of bias among judges Who else? It’s abundantly clear that Robin Camp was allowed to sit on a provincial bench (and then enjoy an appointment to federal court) while harbouring sexist biases. But the glum, apologetic Alberta judge, who is now enduring a headline-grabbing inquiry for suggesting a sexual assault victim should have kept “her knees together,” is no outlier. The important question isn’t whether Camp will keep his job; it’s who else has gone under the radar. Camp is arguing that he has wised up, thanks to sensitivity and gender-discrimination training, plus a refresher on rape-shield laws. Unlike those demanding his dismissal, I’m willing to believe him. I have to. The alternative is a justice system wholly unreliable and, worse, unfixable. “By no means is this a unique case, by no means whatever,” said Kathleen Mahoney, QC, a law professor at the University of Calgary. She would know. For decades, Mahoney has been at the centre of judicial-education efforts, part of a movement that has sought to ensure the Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn’t turn out to be an “empty promise.” But she and her allies lost a key battle: to make judicial education mandatory. “To me the Camp case is an indication of the failure of judicial education to ensure that judges, to some extent, are protected from making these
kinds of errors,” Mahoney said. The excuse has always been that mandatory training would infringe on judicial independence. That line, according to Adam Dodek, co-author of the forthcoming book “Regulating Judges,” has been “viewed as quite a stretch” by some and “baseless or worse” by others. Mandatory training exists elsewhere, he said, and the Canadian judiciary “lags behind the world” in training judges. Camp’s biases were outlandish and egregious. The system would be a joke if he weren’t facing an inquiry. But many other judges undoubtedly harbour similar views, hiding them inside legally defensible decisions nonetheless coloured by rape myths and sexism. If there’s any group, other than sexual assault victims, that should want this to change, it’s judges. Bias in one generates suspicion of them all, and makes a mockery of the oath to mete out justice fairly. It feeds the growing crisis of faith in our courts. Already, the vast majority of women don’t even bother to report rapes and assaults. They know, because the data on this is irrefutable, that justice for sexual assault is doled out in pitifully few cases. Judges are, in part, to blame. And there’s only one way for them to prove they care about improving the situation: admit, as Camp has, that they have a lot to learn. Philosopher Cat by Jason Logan

Tough-as-nails American girl interview
Riley Keough channels her rebel side in American Honey Richard Crouse
For Metro Canada In American Honey, a road trip movie now playing at the Toronto International Film Festival before it heads to a national release later this year, Riley Keough plays a Fagin-like character, tough-as-nails with a glare that could peel the paint off the walls. She is Krystal, the leader of a travelling band of door-to-door magazine sellers who picks up new recruits along the way with one simple job interview question: “Do you got anyone who’s going to miss you?” It is a bravura performance in a movie that, once and for all, proves she’s not just Elvis Presley’s granddaughter; she can really act. Making the free-form drama with British director Andrea Arnold and a cast of mostly newcomers was an unconventional occurrence for the Girlfriend Experience star. “I didn’t know what the (bleep) anybody else was do-
ing,” she says. “I wasn’t on set for anything except for my own stuff. Nobody knew what the movie was about until we watched it. I literally had no idea.” Keough, who has appeared in Magic Mike, Mad Max: Fury Road and will soon be seen in the Netflix film The Discovery and Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky, says the lack of traditional structure did “all the right things” for her performance. “It makes you able to do anything,” she says. “You don’t want to get into the habit of only doing things that are structured and safe. Hit your mark and look that way. “You have nothing, so you actually have to do something. You’re not going off a whole script and character arc and knowing all these blah, blah, blah things. “You’re just existing as this person. You are forced to exist as this person. You don’t get a chance to think about anything at all.” Hitting marks and finding the light “is just (bleeping) annoying,” she says. “Excuse my French. This was a nice break from it.” Set in a world where regular folks still open the door for rattily dressed kids selling magazines, it’s a story about fam-
ilies lost and families found, about poverty, disenfranchised youth and finding freedom on the road. “I think Krystal had been doing this for a long time so that’s all she knew,” Keough says of her tough-talking character. “This world does exist. I think she grew up ‘on crew’ and she knows the most. We ran into another mag crew. In the movie you see us shaking hands with another mag crew.”
TIFF Rising star At well over two-and-a-half hours American Honey has an emphasis on naturalism and all that entails: the mundane and the pulse racing in equal measure. It’s not a traditional road flick. Here, the destination isn’t as important as the journey. Life on the road taught Keough a thing or two. “I learned not to drink too much,” she says. “I really think I learned it. Legitimately.” She laughs, perhaps remembering some long nights while making this movie, then adds in a more serious tone, “I learned a lot of really profound things but I don’t know how comfortable I am talking about them.”

Why Jasmine Lorimer put her love life on TV interview
Canada’s first Bachelorette an adventurous and free spirit

Monday, September 12, 2016 13
When you think about the concept of a woman dating up to 20 men at one time for a reality TV show, the first phrase that comes to mind isn’t “oldfashioned.” Yet those are the words that Jasmine Lorimer, the 27-yearold star of The Bachelorette Canada, uses when explaining why she agreed to live out two months of her love life on TV. “The appealing thing about this is you do get a lot of faceto-face time and you’re taking away the phones, and you’re taking away the texting and all those things that can be said over text or misconstrued, and . . . all of the development of your relationships happens one on one,” she says. “Although it seems strange to do it on reality TV, it’s also kind of old-fashioned in a weird way. . . .

When learning leaves the classroom trend
Schools find students thrive in outdoor environments A new classroom at Hazelwood Elementary School in St. John’s, N.L., has no walls, windows or desks — in fact, it’s not even inside the school. The outdoor classroom — situated amidst the trees on a circular gravel patch — features a teacher’s podium made from stone and a number of stone benches that can accommodate about four children each. “Getting kids outside is something that really works to their benefit. As an educator, you know it’s important for students,” said Dale Lambe, principal at Hazelwood Elementary School. “The outdoor environment is something I think we’re looking more at as educators, especially for the younger age group.” Hazelwood’s outdoor classroom is part of a growing trend in Canada: Schools building dedicated infrastructure to encourage outdoor learning. Lambe said he knows of at least four outdoor classrooms in the St. John’s area, all of which were built within the last five years. But the phenomenon of open air learning is widespread, with one school in Saskatchewan installing a small barn and paving stones, and another in New Brunswick building a wooden pirate ship with bench seating. While the characteristics of

outdoor classrooms can vary dramatically from school to school, the benefits of bringing children outdoors to learn are the same, said Cam Collyer of the Torontobased non-profit Evergreen. “If you look at it through a health lens, you see you that you have more physical activity, a greater volume of activity and a greater diversity of activity,” said Collyer, whose organization has helped Canadian schools establish outdoor classrooms for more than two decades. “It’s physically active learn-
ing. So you’re using a different learning modality — hands-on learning, multi-sensory learning... Some of the brain research is as simple as, ‘You move the body and you activate the brain’.” Students are learning a variety of subjects outdoors, bringing out notebooks for math, language arts and social studies, paint brushes for art and instruments for music class. Collyer said having a dedicated outdoor classroom also affects the social environment of the school grounds, which histor-
ically have been “flat, barren expanses.” “In the short-hand of the research — they’re boring, and boring is often the leading edge of negative behaviour,” he said. “If there are more destinations, you’re drawn to move around, and that breaks up the boredom and creates more positive social interactions.” Teacher Tanya Trembath recalls what happened when she took her Barrie, Ont., kindergarten class outside after a rain shower.
She watched a boy place a snail on his nose, while others allowed the creatures to crawl up their arms. The Hewitt’s Creek Public School class ended up collecting 220 snails. “So you can see how there’s so many things you can build on just from that one walk for snails,” said Trembath, whose outdoor classroom includes a large sandbox and forest area. “They’re counting snails in their heads. We looked at books and videos about snails. We would draw and label pic-
tures. They built a habitat. So it becomes a huge learning story incorporating math, science, reading and writing.” Hewitt’s Creek is part of a board of 86 schools — all of which have outdoor classrooms. Every kindergarten class in the Simcoe County District School Board is encouraged to go outside between 20 and 100 minutes per day. The board is also the subject of a study that looks at how being outdoors benefits students. The board says six classrooms participated in the study last year — half using the outdoor classroom frequently and the others half infrequently. This year, the study is continuing with 12 classrooms participating. Hazelwood’s outdoor classroom — used by all grade levels — is also equipped with Wi-Fi and children can often be seen sitting side-by-side on the outdoor classroom’s stone benches, huddled around an iPad. Lambe said technology is changing the way children learn, making it all the more important to get them acquainted with nature. “We need to be looking at different venues and different settings for student learning. The way they learn is changing and the styles of learning are changing,” said Lambe, citing the use of educational tablet apps. “(The outdoor classroom) adds to the school and it adds to the children’s excitement. If their teacher says, ‘Tomorrow we’re going to the outdoor classroom,’ it comes with a lot of excitement.” the canadian press

‘The Man’ at Young Cowboys held Stan Flushing Meadows in check by Giants U.S. Open
Stan Wawrinka is the first to acknowledge he hasn’t always been the most consistent player — or the strongest mentally. That’s why, when he shows his mettle during a match, he likes to point his right index finger to his temple. That signature gesture got a lot of use in the U.S. Open final Sunday, when Wawrinka surprisingly managed to wear down Novak Djokovic and beat the defending champion 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 for his first U.S. Open title and third Grand Slam trophy overall. On Saturday, Angelique Kerber won her first U.S. Open and second Grand Slam her big season. The 31-year-old Wawrinka is the oldest U.S. Open men’s champion since Ken Rosewall was 35 in 1970, and entered Sunday having spent almost exactly twice as much time on court as Djokovic during the course of the tournament: about 18 hours vs. about nine hours.

Cruz back to his dancing ways, scores winning TD The salsa is back, and the New York Giants finally finished when the Dallas Cowboys failed to stop the clock in the final seconds. Eli Manning threw for three touchdowns, including the goahead score to Victor Cruz in his first game in nearly two years, and the Giants beat the Cowboys 20-19 Sunday. The Giants (1-0) won the debut of coach Ben McAdoo after 12 years and two Super Bowl Victor Cruz titles under Getty images Tom Coughlin while spoiling the first game for Dallas’ Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. Cruz, who missed most of 2014 with a knee injury and all of last season with a bad calf, broke free in the end zone for a three-yard TD with six minutes remaining, prompting his trademark salsa dance. “You couldn’t even describe what was going through my body,” said Cruz. “Wanted obviously to do the dance. I’m sure I’ve got that down pat. “Everybody just pulled for me each and every day, each and every week as we got closer to Week 1. And to score a touchdown, you just couldn’t make up a story any better than that.” The game ended with Dallas in position for a 57-yard

nine tries. The Giants’ defence, fortified in free agency, held Dallas after the go-ahead score. Then the Giants emphasized the run to use most of the clock, quite a contrast to last season when questionable clock management contributed to six losses late in regulation or in overtime in a 6-10 season. “The guy was trying to make a play,” Prescott said of Williams. “You never want to knock a guy trying to make a play.” Elliott was held to a 2.5-yard average (51 yards on 21 carries), although he had his first touchdown, and the only one for Dallas. Prescott was 25 of 45 for 227 yards. Manning was 19 of 28 for 207 yards. The Associated Press

another medal rio2016
Canadian swimmer adds silver to Gamesopening gold Canadian swimmer Aurelie Rivard added to her Paralympic medal collection on Sunday, capturing silver in the women’s 200-metre individual medley. The 20-year-old from SaintJean-sur-Richelieu, Que., had claimed Canada’s first gold medal of the Games two nights earlier, winning the 50 freestyle in a world-record time. Rivard, who was born with an underdeveloped left hand, touched the wall in two minutes 30.03 seconds on Sunday night, to finish behind New Zealand’s Sophie Pascal. Pascal won in a world record 2:24.90. Paralympic veteran Benoit Huot narrowly missed adding a second swim medal on the night, finishing fourth in the 200 I.M. Huot won the gold medal in the event four years ago in London in a world-record time. At the track, Canadian wheelchair racer Brent Lakatos captured a silver medal in the 400 metres for his second medal of the Rio Paralympics. Liam Stanley added a second medal on the morning for the Canadian track team, racing to silver in the 1,500 metres. In rowing, Canada won bronze in the LTA mixed coxed four. Britain won gold in 3:17.17, the U.S. was second in 3:19.61 and the Canadians with Victoria Nolan, Meghan Montgomery, Andrew Todd, Curtis Halladay and coxswain Kristen Kit fol-
IN BRIEF Bombers pull off two deals The Winnipeg Blue Bombers sent out one quarterback and brought in another with a familiar face on Sunday in two trades. Winnipeg traded Drew Willy to the Argos for Toronto’s first-round pick in the 2017 draft, the Argos’ third-rounder in 2018 and defensive back T.J. Heath. The Bombers also traded their 2018 fourth-rounder to Montreal in exchange for quarterback Kevin Glenn, who will replace Willy behind starter Matt Nichols. The Canadian Press

lowed in 3:19.90. “We came back on the U.S. in a big way,” said Montgomery, 34, who has a disability in her right hand. “We got from the stern to just being a bow ball away from silver. It was a good race.” Montgomery is a three-time Paralympian who retired after the London Games but made a
comeback in 2015. In women’s wheelchair basketball, the Canadian women lost their first game after opening with two victories. They fell to Germany 68-54 despite a 23-point effort by Cindy Ouellet. Canada has 12 medals — three gold, six silver and two bronze — so far in Rio. THE CANADIAN PRESS

BoSox build 2-game lead atop AL East Jackie Bradley Jr., David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez all hit home runs as the Boston Red Sox’s impressive offence overwhelmed the Toronto Blue Jays 11-8 in a wild game on Sunday afternoon. The loss drops the Blue Jays to two games back of Boston for first place in the AL East. Toronto had been in first as recently as Sept. 6, but has lost seven of its past 10 games to fall behind the Red Sox. The Jays are now tied with Baltimore for second place.
David Ortiz hit his 31st home run of the season on Sunday.

mushrooms and push around until they soften. Remove from pan and set aside. Wipe pan.
Start the week off with a no-stress dinner of a fancied-up grilled cheese sandwich. The swipe of mustard against the sweetness of the pear makes it irresistible.
2. Butter bread (and swipe other side with a bit of Dijon for adventurous kids or adults) and place each piece in pan, butter side down. Place a handful of Fontina on each, then press down a couple of slices of pear, followed by a spoonful of mushrooms. Place another piece of pumpernickel on top, butter side out. Let that sizzle away for 2 or 3 minutes, peaking at the underside using a spatula to see that your bread is toasting not burning. Flip it.

Aries March 21 - April 20 It’s Monday, and some people are in a bad mood, especially co-workers and people at work. This means patience is your only recourse to make this day as smooth as possible.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 This is an accident-prone day, which means you have to pay attention to everything you say and do. Above all, guard against knee-jerk reactions to others. Be cool.
Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 You have lots of intellectual energy today. If you use this mental energy to do research or look for solutions to old problems, you will be pleased with your results.
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because many people are just looking for a fight. Focus on preserving your own peace of mind.
Taurus April 21 - May 21 Parents must be patient with their kids today, because everyone, including children, is argumentative. Try to avoid touchy situations that can trigger conflict.
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Money squabbles might arise today. This means today is a poor day to discuss something that might trigger these arguments. However, you have the energy to make money.
Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Do not get embroiled in arguments with younger people today or members of groups, because it will be pointless. Choose another day for important discussions..
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Disputes about shared property, inheritances and anything that you own jointly with others might arise today. Therefore, postpone these discussions until another day.
Gemini May 22 - June 21 Do what you can to keep the peace at home so that you have domestic harmony. Be patient in everything you do, in order to avoid accidents, both verbal and physical.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Today Mercury is in your sign, at odds with fiery Mars, which can make you touchy and irritable with others. Therefore, practise patience in all your dealings with everyone.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Your dealings with authority figures — bosses, parents and VIPs — will be challenging today, because people are too quick to disagree and give strong opinions. Keep a low profile if you can. Be smart.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 You might attract someone today who is touchy or defensive. Actually, discussions with friends and partners are equally difficult. This means you have to be tactful.
