Fighting to fight legislation In their own words

labour

Union wants everyone able to weigh in on resolution The Nova Scotia Teachers Union says its 9,300 members should have their say when the legislature reconvenes to push through a resolution to the ongoing contract dispute.

Premier Stephen McNeil is recalling the house for an emergency session Monday evening “to bring an end” to the standoff between the province and its public school teachers.

Union president Liette Doucet released a statement Sunday that said teachers “who are having their rights taken away” deserve a chance to weigh in when a legislature committee debates amendments to whatever bill the government brings forward.

Doucet said if the Liberal government is going to pass legislation “restricting” the collective bargaining rights of teachers, then it should at least have the “patience and courtesy” to let them participate in the process.

McNeil issued a statement Saturday that said after three

metro

I want to assure Nova Scotians that I have done considerable soul searching. We will table legislation that will bring an end to this dispute as soon as possible.

It’s clear that Premier McNeil knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. A legislated contract will do nothing to improve the state of our schools and will only further erode the trust between teachers and this government.

This is a deeply arrogant, cynical and undemocratic act, and likely unconstitutional.

The move came two days

The Premier has repeatedly ignored the need for classroom improvements. Students, parents and teachers are fed up with his willful blindness to the needs of modern classrooms. They no longer trust Stephen McNeil to manage our children’s futures.

Halifax Halifax Heroes

one year in

Catching up with five heroes How they keep doing what they’re doing, and even more.

Yvette d’Entremont Metro

Jeff Harper/metro

Marrilee Wilson Marrilee Wilson offers free yoga to people typically not found in traditional yoga studios.

Whether they face financial, cultural or other barriers, she’s determined to make it accessible.

Since being featured as a Halifax Hero last June, the certified yoga instructor has expanded her free practice to offer yoga to even more marginalized people in the community.

“Since the article, it has given me the confidence to take this to the next level,” she said. “Had I not had that platform, people wouldn’t necessarily know what I’m doing. I don’t know where it’ll take me but it’s going places.”

After the article, Wilson has offered free yoga to the East Preston Daycare Family Resource Centre and the North End Parent Resource Centre in Uniacke Square.

She’s also offering free yoga this month at Acadia Lodge in north-end Halifax, and this spring and summer she’ll offer free yoga at Merv Sullivan Park with colleague Robyn Corbett. (For more information, @Myaleeza on Twitter or via email, m_wilson@ns.sympatico. ca).

Sitting in a coffee shop in Halifax’s north end, she’s also determined to use the opportunity to thank the man who sparked her passion for volunteerism.

“Brian Tapper, the vocation counsellor at the Nova Scotia Rehab Centre, he planted the seed,” she recalled. “It’s important to recognize and thank those who see something in us and who encourage us to move forward.”

Colter Simmonds in North Preston last year. Jeff Harper/metro

Colter Simmonds Jim Nickle remains well known for his volunteer work at the IWK Health Centre. Jeff Harper/metro

Jim Nickle Countless children and their parents from across the Maritimes have been comforted by the kind heart of long-time IWK Health Centre volunteer Jim Nickle.

For almost nine years he has volunteered more than 7,000 hours at the hospital, working at the information desk and in the escort office where he works on average 20 hours per week.

In addition, he volunteers on hospital committees.

When Metro Halifax caught up with Nickle last week, he said he continued to be humbled by his nomination as a Halifax Hero.

“A month or two afterwards I was still getting comments about it.… People from outside of town would even say, ‘Oh that guy was in the paper!’ as they’d go by,” he said.

“Everything is going great and I’m still there and still loving it and I’m just as passionate as ever it’s my happy place.”

Nickle asks to make a plug for more adults to consider volunteering. He’s now giving even more of his time to the place he calls a second home.

“I’m probably doing a bit more than I was at that time but that’s again by choice,” he said.

“I happen to be on the family leadership council now because I spend so much time there. I kind of represent the people that visit us on a daily basis.”

Making a change by engaging youth and keeping them in their own community is what drives Colter Simmonds.

He’s responsible for the We Will Win Youth Association, a program “bigger than basketball” that supports North Preston’s youth socially, academically and physically.

The program is growing in numbers, but is in need of sponsorship to accommodate more youth and its high level programming.

“I got great comments from the article and it’s like people are always talking to me about being more out there with the program and with myself and what I do, but I’ve always shied away from it,” he said.

Most recently, Simmonds has been invited to bring a group of 14- to 15-year-old players to a prestigious event in San Diego.

They’re one of 16 teams going and the only Canadian team so far.

One of the most pressing things needed is a bus to more easily bring the program’s youth to high-level competitions in Canada and the United States.

“Because of our success we have other programs from outside the community that are looking to come in and recruit away kids from here for bigger programs, like in Ontario,” he said.

“If we can continue to grow and provide the best opportunities for them then they’ll need not go anywhere else and develop. They’ll grow close to family and around people who genuinely care for them.”

Loran Morrison Loran Morrison is a busy secondyear medical student who still finds hours each week to devote to a free tutoring program she co-founded in north-end Halifax.

The SHINE (Supporting, Helping and Inspiring through Non-profit Education) program was born in 2012.

“I did not anticipate the overwhelming love and support that would follow. Students and volunteers and parents and peers shared the article throughout social media,” Morrison said.

“It was an unforgettable experience to be on the receiving end of such love.”

Designed to make learning math and science fun, the article shone a spotlight on the SHINE program. Morrison said that led to a lot of positive attention and ultimately the infusion of muchneeded funds.

“We had a massive influx of students and tutors during the entire month that followed the Metro Halifax Hero publication.

With such a massive influx, we knew our resources would be under a bit of strain,” Morrison said. “That concern was quickly dissipated as we were nominated as the Dalhousie Medicine 2017 Euphoria Charity.

Amongst 12 other nominees, SHINE was selected to receive all of the funds raised in this annual event.”

Since the article was published last November, Morrison said the program’s numbers have grown from 40 up to 55 students and 53 volunteer tutors. “We will not be short on snacks, and will also be developing a study space and resource centre in the George Dixon for our senior students,” she said.

Maria Samman will be grad­uat­ing this year from Sacred Heart school. Jeff Harper/metro

Maria Samman Maria Samman graduates from Sacred Heart this year, and the teenager already has a wealth of community volunteer experience to her name.

Samman’s foray into volunteerism began when she was in Grade 7. She’s the Grade 12 volunteer co-ordinator at her school, volunteers at the IWK Health Centre, and for numerous other fundraisers and charities.

Over the years she has volunteered with a range of organizations, from Ronald McDonald House to helping young children at the Keshen Goodman Public Library’s summer reading program.

Last year, her volunteerism was recognized when she was selected as one of 19 students from across Canada to participate in the Vimy Foundation program.

The program recognizes the actions of young people “who demonstrate outstanding service, positive contribution and leadership in their communities.”

The Vimy Pilgrimage Award provided her a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Vimy Ridge.

Samman continues to devote her spare time to help in the community and plans to continue to do so after graduation. She said while being recognized as a Halifax Hero was a huge honour, what she most appreciated about it was that it motivated others.

“I know in my own school it inspired others to get involved and to want to go to Vimy,” she said. “Volunteering is something I enjoy so much and I want to pass on that torch to as many young people as I can.”

New digs The Discovery Centre moved to Halifax Waterfront after a 25-year run on Barrington Street.

The goal of the move was to attract people of all ages with travelling exhibits, interactive astronomy shows and invention workshops.

For Metro | Halifax Ian Curlett felt like a rock star.

With headphones on and a bass guitar in hand, Curlett was focused on getting the tone pitch perfect at The Science of Rock and Roll Exhibit during the public grand opening of the Discovery Centre in Halifax on Sunday.

“The bass thing is really cool,” he said. “I think it’s great you get to play an instrument, get to play along with something and get to change what types of things you can play.

“I never played bass before so everything was hands on and it showed you what to do.”

Along with his two children, Curlett was still excited after spending an hour at the centre.

Next up was the dome theatre.

“We’re kind of excited about that,” he added.

The new Discovery Centre has three floors, which house four exhibition galleries. There

is an additional large space for temporary exhibits. The goal of the new centre is to make STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) more

interactive through learning activities.

Not only did the community participate in the grand opening, but visitors from out of province

were also curious. Ben Greider, who works in Stratford, P.E.I., lit up when he saw the Nova Scotia Power Energy Gallery.

“I love the addition of energy efficiency and renewal,” he said.

“To see this kind of exhibit is actually great in a museum; it’s really neat and very progressive.

I wanted to see if there was anything like it here because Halifax is starting to spread more knowledge about renewable energy efficiency.”

Frankie MacDonald is back in the headlines, which should come as no surprise to fans of Cape Breton’s world-renowned amateur weatherman.

Earlier this week, MacDonald opened his mail to discover he had received a major award from YouTube, the worldwide video sharing website.

As a recipient of the Silver Play Award, he was honoured for having more than 100,000 subscribers to his “dogsandwolves” channel.

With his online weather forecasts and occasional comedy routines garnering more than 24 million views in less than six years, the Internet sensation has become a legitimate international celebrity.

The online social media platform Facebook even classifies Frankie, as he is affectionately known, as a “public figure.”

MacDonald, who has created an impressive following with entertaining online weather forecasts, has been honing his craft for more than a decade.

Refugee who got frostbite may lose fingers

Jeff French, the volunteer fire chief in Emerson, Man.

One of two West African men who suffered severe frostbite while illegally crossing the Canadian border is sharing details of the harrowing tale.

On Dec. 24, Seidu Mohammed, 24, who is from Ghana in West Africa, crossed the border on foot near Emerson, Man., with another man from the same country. Doctors have told him that his fingers, and possibly his hands, will need to be amputated.

Mohammed tells CTV Winnipeg he fled Ghana fearing for

his life because he is bisexual.

He says he spent a year in a detention facility in the U.S. and when he was released he decided to head to Canada.

He and the other man walked for 10 hours in freezing and snowy weather, losing their hats, mitts and their way. Near Leteiller, Man., Mohammed says a trucker came to their rescue.

“When we met him, we were crying, because we met a man who saved our life,” he says.

Residents in Emerson, Man., a hotspot for refugees hopping the U.S.-Canada border, are conflicted about opening doors to those seeking asylum Jessica Botelho-Urbanski For Metro | Winnipeg

As the sun went down Saturday, Canadian Border Services agents were still screening the more than a dozen asylum seekers who arrived the night before.

Sixteen men, women and children from Djibouti and five men from Somalia safely made the trek to Canada Friday evening. By Sunday morning, the rumour around town was another 23 refugees claimants came in overnight.

It was “fake news,” a diner at the local Vietnamese restaurant joked, pointing to a visiting CNN crew parked outside. There were no illegal crossings reported at the border Sunday, RCMP said.

In this quiet community of about 700 not accustomed to the onslaught of media attention, rumours can run rampant.

The reeve of Emerson-Franklin, Greg Janzen, caught flack online for his comments in interviews warning residents to be careful of “illegals” and “criminals” crossing the border. He said there have been no dangerous encounters with asylum seekers yet, but “the more numbers you get, the law of averages is there is going to be a bad person in the mix.”

Border jumpers aren’t new to this town, but the increasing number is. The Manitoba RCMP intercepted 249 people in 2015

and 444 in 2016. If no one new arrives by Sunday night, there will have been 62 people intercepted in Manitoba since Jan. 1.

The question of whether or not residents should open their doors to those seeking refuge weighs on Gayle Knoutt, who’s lived in Emerson for 20 years.

“It’s a conflicted feeling,”she said while waiting for Sunday service to start. “I mean, we’re Christian people in this community. We don’t want to be turning people away that need help,” Twenty-one volunteer firefighters and 12 emergency service providers are based in town.

Emerson’s population is largely elderly, with some longhaul truckers buying houses in town for sporadic stays, said Jeff French, volunteer fire chief.

There’s a smattering of families and about 65 kids who go to Emerson School, including French’s two daughters, ages five and seven.

“I don’t anticipate this is going to stop anytime soon,” said French.“We’re able to handle (the influx of refugees), but it is obviously a volunteer fire service, so everyone else has jobs, too.”

The refugees — mainly from Somalia, Ghana and Djibouti — often bring cellphones and call 911 once they think they’ve arrived in Canada. Some know to follow the glow of the red lights shining from neighbouring windmills in Letellier, Man., said Janzen.

The official says Trudeau’s office reached out to discuss working on a joint effort, noting that this was seen as an area of shared interest between both leaders.

Ivanka Trump has been a vocal advocate for policies benefiting working women. The White House official says Ivanka Trump was involved in recruiting participants and setting the agenda for the meeting and will attend.

The White House official requested anonymity to provide details in advance of the meeting.

THE QUESTION

How do you tell people it’s not OK to be late?

Dear Ellen, What is the best way to respond to someone apologizing for being late? I’ve had several appointments lately where I’ve been kept waiting by professionals who enter the room and start with an apology. My instinct is to say “Oh, it’s OK.” But I feel it’s not OK, especially in circumstances where I’m paying for the appointment. So I end up saying nothing, which just makes the situation awkward.

Kendra Dear Kendra, I have interviewed a lot of people over the years and very early on I noticed a small, but significant, difference between Bigshots of Quality and Bigshots Who Are Insecure Pikers at Heart.

The Pikers liked to keep people waiting.

Director James Cameron surprised me by falling into the former group. Instead of the abrasive egomaniac I’d been warned about, he was engaging, polite and prompt. I could credit his PR person for the punctuality, but the fact is, celebrity pikers often ignore their own peeps in order to feel important by keeping other people waiting.

prised me once, by keeping me waiting nearly two hours outside her office at the Toronto Sun. She never did appear, even though she’s the one who invited me in (to discuss a small freelance job). If she’d been in the midst of an emergency, her assistant could have sent me on my way. Instead, the embarrassed assistant kept going into her boss’s office, then asking me to wait a little longer. I finally left, and 25 years later am still waiting for the courtesy of an apology.

Everybody’s late sometimes (as my Metro editor knows; hi, Matt!), and apologies are always in order. But apologies from people who are chronically late tend to ring false after a while. My own solutions include: A. Cutting off people who aren’t worth waiting for; B. Accepting the lateness as the price of friendship/business with people who are worth waiting for; C. Waiting a quarter-century till I get a newspaper column in Metro, which has one of the largest daily circulation rates in Canada, and then calling out someone who once kept me waiting.

Your situation calls for Option B. If you want to do business with tardy professionals, you’re going to have to suck it

Trudeau meets Trump: don’t get your hopes up Vicky Mochama Metro

On Monday, the prime minister visits the president.

With his socially progressive views and promotion of Canada as a liberal haven, Justin Trudeau is being set up as the foil to Donald Trump’s pessimistic vision of “American carnage.”

While it’s tempting to expect Trudeau to stand up to Trump, set your bar lower.

The Washington Post already learned this lesson. The paper characterized Trudeau as “emerging as a leader of the liberal global resistance” in an early report on the meeting. An updated version of the story removed the line.

What can be expected: Trudeau will seek to protect, or really, diminish harm to, Canadian interests in the face of a chaotic administration with whom we share a massive border and our most important trade relationship.

Ahead of Monday’s meeting, Trudeau’s ministers for foreign affairs, finance and defence already visited D.C. to suss out expectations.

According to The Guardian, Trudeau, a former teacher, has called in international reinforcements to prepare a lesson plan for Trump, speaking to his British and French counterparts. And when it comes to dealing with the Donald, Trudeau’s experience with distracting children may come in handy.

This first meeting won’t have the fan fiction quality of the Obama-Trudeau rela-

tionship. For those who ship Trubama, there will be no Trudump.

Being politically opposite, they may prefer to focus on things they have in common.

They are both scions of privileged families who ended up leading their countries despite lacking the resumé.

They also both deviate from conventional handshake techniques. Trump’s is often followed by a jarring pull of his co-shaker’s arm. Trudeau famously engineered a bizarre three-way handshake between himself, Obama and Mexican President Enrique Nieto.

To avoid another highly GIFable moment, diplomats ought to have spent the weekend negotiating for a high-five or for both men to dab simultaneously. While there’s that to look forward to, the moment so many are waiting for will be handled with kid gloves.

Many hope Trudeau will stand up for Muslims, perhaps with a speech akin to Hugh Grant’s turn as U.K. prime minister in Love Actually: “I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the president taking exactly what he wants and not knowing anything about constitutional or international law.” It won’t happen.

What we will hear: “middle class,” “shared values” and “diversity is our strength.”

(Trudeau is a master of asking about the local sports team.)

If there are bold statements and decisive actions to come, it will be on Trudeau’s Europe trip. After all, he can’t hold back the damage Trump promises to unleash on his own.

Bey slays, Adele falters again THE GRAMMY AWARDS

A Tribe Called Quest take aim at Trump during hectic Grammys Adele, who had trouble with her live performance at last year’s Grammys, restarted her tribute

to George Michael Sunday at this year’s Awards, telling the audience: “I (expletive) up. I can’t mess this up for him.”

Adele had sang some of a new arrangement of Michael’s Fastlove, as videos and photos of Michael played in the background. She re-sang the song and earned applause from the crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, though was teary-

eyed after. She was still one of the big winners of the night, as she took awards for song of the year, best pop vocal album and pop solo performance.

Until Adele’s restart, Beyonce was the talk of the show. In glittery gown, gilded crown and gold choker, the pregnant singer took the Grammy stage in a lengthy performance of two songs from her acclaimed album Lemonade.

She was introduced by her mother and former stylist Tina Knowles: “Ladies and gentlemen, with my mother’s pride, my daughter, Beyonce.”

Beyonce sang on top of a long table, even leaning back on a chair while singing Love Drought. She later sang Sandcastles while sitting down, hitting high notes.

After capturing the Grammy

for best urban contemporary album for Lemonade, Beyonce used her brief remarks to outline a vision for the world that she said she wants all children to grow up in. That’s a world in which all “can be allowed to be beautiful, intelligent and capable” and to see those qualities reflected in institutions ranging from the NFL to the White House, she said.

Hip hop giants A Tribe Called Quest later took more direct aim at new U.S. President Donald Trump with a searing performance alongside Busta Rhymes. The rapper called Trump “President Agent Orange” and accused him of “perpetuating evil.”

He also took aim at Trump’s Muslim ban before the performance finished with the artists chanting “resist.” METRO/AP

Money

‘Pleasures’ part of balanced budget

Sweet UP TO

50% OFF

As long as you’re not going into debt and you’ve got all your bases covered, you can spend your money on anything you want. istock images financial planning

You work hard for your cash, so make sure you enjoy it Gail Vaz-Oxlade

For Metro Canada I have a line on my budget for ‘pleasures.’ It’s where I put the money I spend getting a massage, buying my favourite ginger-peach candles or springing for tulips when it’s still too cold to be in the garden.

People are always asking me what I spend money on, perhaps because they hear me constantly singing the “don’t spend money you don’t have” song. But there are things I love to do, so I set some money aside each month for things I feel like splurging on.

As long as you’re not going into debt and you’ve got all your bases covered — including long-term savings, your emergency fund, your insurance needs — you can spend your money on anything you want. Want to travel? Go. Want to drink expensive coffee? Do it. Want to buy a new sumthin’or’nother? G’head.

You work hard for your money and you should enjoy the pleasures it can bring you.

The only time spending becomes a problem is when you do it unconsciously and it interferes with your financial/ life goals.

You can’t eat out four nights a week if you want to build up a down payment for a home.

You can’t buy everything your heart desires if you have no emergency fund. And you can’t smoke, drink or get stoned on the regular and then claim you have no money to save.

Take care of the details and then you can go shopping guilt-free.

Keep in mind that for your pleasures to feel like pleasures, you can’t do them all the time. If you love picking up a magazine at the checkout to enjoy with your Saturday morning tea, grab the mag. But if you aren’t reading

those magazines, or just flipping through them quickly because you bought them — so there’s no real pleasure — stop buying.

You need to go without for a while so you can appreciate what you have.

Being able to take pleasure from the things money can buy is part of having a balanced financial life.

Don’t take the desire to enjoy too far and you can keep enjoying for a long time. And if you have to forgo a treat for a couple of weeks because things are a little tight, your pleasure will be all the sweeter the next time you indulge.

For more money advice, visit Gail’s website at gailvazoxlade.com

when To splurge What if you’re still experiencing pangs when you buy yourself the extras?

It could be a couple of things: Maybe you’ve been in austerity mode for so long you need to re-adjust to the idea that you can afford to splurge a little. Focus on the pleasure you derive from whatever you’re buying and kick the guilt to the curb.

Maybe you shouldn’t be buying what you’re buying because there are other, more important things that should come first. Sure, you’re saving and have an emergency fund, but have you got enough of the right kind of insurance? Do you have a will? Are there things you know you should be taking care of?

Careers

Bringing storyboards to life You can do this Animation

WHY I LIKE MY JOB

THE BASICS: Animator

Neilizza Silva, 2D animator, Toronto

$50,973

I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil. I always knew that I wanted to work professionally as an artist, but I never really thought of being an animator until my high school teacher suggested I try it as an extra credit project.

I quickly developed a passion for animation and applied to the four-year bachelor of animation program at Sheridan College.

I’ve always been interested in working in 2D animation because it reminds me of the old cartoons I used to watch while growing up (so I guess you could say I owe my career to nostalgia!).

Since graduation, I’ve worked on shows such as Fangbone! (Disney XD) and Fresh Beat Band of Spies (Nickelodeon), and I’m currently working on a new show coming out later in 2017.

I’m responsible for animating scenes based on the storyboard for each episode, while also ensuring my animations are timed appropriately and register well with audiences.

The job is fun and it’s always amazing to see my creations come to life on TV. I also get to work with extremely talented people from all around the world.

And did I mention I get to create cartoons?

It doesn’t get much better than that!

HOW TO START

Aspiring animators will need to start with a portfolio of visual artwork before applying to post-secondary programs. Students can choose from dozens of prestigious programs across the country; however, many are structured as post-graduate programs so it’s crucial students research carefully for program qualifications.

Typical animation courses include scriptwriting, character development, film production, multimedia applications, storytelling, acting, timing editing and scene design.

Median salary for entry-level to mid-career animators. Those with advanced training and experience can expect to earn WHERE YOU CAN GO upwards of $100,000.

+8%

The animation industry has come a long way since the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s. No longer restricted to television and film, animation is virtually everywhere — from video games to online ads, YouTube videos, educational tools and smartphone apps. A graduate of 2D or 3D animation can look for work with reputable studios including DreamWorks, Pixar, Corus, Electronic Arts and Cuppa Coffee Studios, to name a few. Established animators can also delve into the world of freelance.

What to do if a loved one dies abroad When the unexpected happens and a loved one passes away, you need the peace of mind that you can easily bring them home.

No one knows where they will be when they pass away, and funeral homes have a limited area of service. If a loved one is out of the area, it can be an enormous cost and a lot of paperwork.

But with the Transportation and Relocation Protection Plan (TRPP), a phone call is all that you’ll need.

The plan is offered by three funeral homes in HRM: J.A. Snow Funeral Home, Cruikshanks Funeral Home and A.L. Mattatall Funeral Home.

It means you're protected year-round, 24-7 for the rest of your life. TRPP experts will assist you or your loved one with finding a funeral home, mortuary or other facility where the death occurs.

“If the death occurs outside the country of residence, our professionals will handle all required documentation and deal with cultural and language barriers,” says Graham Murphy with Dignity Memorial in Halifax.

“We will cover all costs associated with transporting the deceased back to the funeral home or other designated location, including preparing the body for transport, providing documentation and paying all administrative fees and shipping costs.”

Istock

It can be an enormous cost to bring a loved one home. For example, from Toronto can regularly cost $2,000; from Vancouver or Florida $3,000; and from Mexico, as much as $3,000 to $7,000. Membership in the TRPP plan, however, is a one-time payment of $495 plus tax.

TRPP services are provided by Medical Air Services Association of Florida, and the death must occur more than 75 miles from permanent residence in order to take effect.

“Now it’s just about finding those opportunities and putting the puck in the net.”

It was an even first period on Sunday, with each team firing 10 shots on net. Alex Gravel set the tone early with his first save of the night, a sweeping cross-crease stop on Cameron Askew. Moments later, Gravel foiled a breakaway chance by 36-goal scorer Dennis Yan. The rookie goalie finished the game with 24 saves on 25 shots.
