EDUCATION
Trustee wants to add finances, consumer rights to curriculum Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton An Edmonton Public School Board trustee will argue Tuesday that financial literacy and consumer rights should be taught to students at all grade levels. Michael Janz will introduce a motion at the board’s next meeting to advocate for the province to add more money matters into the curriculum. “In a world where youth are targeted more and more often, it’s essential that we teach not just financial literacy but also consumer rights education,” Janz told Metro. “We know students are exposed to concepts like in-app purchases or advertising during video games and technology, or just out there in the general public, at earlier and earlier ages.” Janz’s motion has three components: that financial
literacy be added to the new curriculum in age-appropriate ways at all grade levels; that consumer rights education be incorporated; and that schools start right away on developing pilot projects or local courses on these topics. Janz said financial literacy is “salted” throughout the current curriculum, but how much a student learns is highly dependent on their teacher. For example, a math teacher might use financerelated problems, but is not obligated to. “It’s essential that students are not only financially literate in that they understand concepts like compound interest, but they’re also smart consumers who know their rights, they read the fine print on contracts, and they are able to carefully weigh their long-term interests,” Janz said. He said recent news stories have highlighted the need for consumer rights education — namely bank employees speaking out about being pressured into upselling, and the passenger who was violently kicked off an oversold United Airlines flight. Ontario is currently testing financial literacy pilot projects at high schools, with implementation slated for 2018.

Medicine meets social values
TOUGH DECISIONS
This man helps governments with life-anddeath choices
The public has to realize that we can’t have everything and that choices have to be made.
Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton A child is dying from a rare disease, but the drug needed to save their life carries a heavy price tag. Should the government step in? Those are the types of decisions Edmonton’s Dev Menon plays a crucial role in making. “I think one of the challenges now, with things like big data, artificial intelligence and all this personalized medicine, we are going to see more and more innovations come along more and more quickly,” Menon said. “At some point, the public has to realize that we can’t have everything and that choices have to be made. I don’t think that’s something politicians want to talk about.” Menon, who has been leading research for three decades that helps governments determine what procedures and drugs they can cover, was recently honoured with a lifetime achievement award by the Canadian Agencies for

jury process. To find the juries, Canada Post will randomly send out 1,500 letters, and 16 jurors representing various ethnicities, ages and income levels will be selected through an interview process. In a recent Northern Alberta jury, Menon and other experts educated jurors on 10 “orphan drugs” that treat rare diseases,

cation is concerned,” Menon said. “Does the public feel that we should be spending one million dollars on one person each year? Yes they do, under the right circumstances.” Menon said the general public is not aware of the complexities of these decisions, partly because politicians are less than keen to dive into them.
Dev Menon’s team at the U of A is currently researching new uses for robotic surgery. Robotic surgery is funded in Edmonton for prostate disease and hysterectomies, and he’s working to determine — through clinical data, economic analysis, budget impact, patient perspectives and implementation issues — whether it can be effectively and efficiently used for oral cancer and cardiac applications. Treating rare diseases often comes with a hefty price tag and a multitude of complexities. As a result, some of Menon’s team’s recommendations have led to government funding (newborn metabolic screening, for example) while others have been turned down due to lack of money and in some cases, “quite frankly … sat on someone’s desk.” KEVIN MAIMANN/METRO

Council looks at cost, payback of needed back lane fixes Jeremy Simes
Metro | Edmonton City councillors will have their final say over using taxpayer cash to fix Edmonton’s crumbling back alleys, but Coun. Andrew Knack thinks a couple more million could go a long way. “I think our alleys are terrible,” said Knack Friday. “It’s no surprise because our policy always treated them as gravel.” City councillors will debate Tuesday on whether to increase funding for back alley repairs, as two-thirds of the city’s 1,175 kilometres in alleys have potholes and slumping pavement. The push for smoothly paved and clean back streets comes from residents. The enhancements could also play a large role in laneway housing, according to Knack, as city planners move forward on determining how to best accommodate developers looking to build homes that face the back roads. “We would have to treat them similar to how we treat front streets in our communities,” he said. Planners recommend the city

go with Option 1, which would see the city spend $18.4 million annually so all of Edmonton’s alleys, on average, are considered ‘fair’ within 25 years. The tax increase for this option would be 0.3 per cent annually. But Knack said he will push council to approve Option 2, which requires $20 million in city money annually to see even more back alleys improved. Option 2 would essentially bring laneways almost up to par with typical city streets. The tax increase for that option would be about 0.33 per cent per year. “I think considering how neglected our back alleys have been, we could put more into them upfront and really get out in front of the issue,” he said. “We need to catch up throughout the city.” If council approves an adjustment to the capital budget, $100,000 would go into preplanning work for the alley renewals. Following that, $400,000 in 2018 would funnel into more detailed work so crews could begin repairs in 2019.

Skaters grind for more parks EXTREME SPORTS
City rehab on four sites makes summer skating tricky
These sites were identified as high need for repair. Martina Gardiner
Jeremy Simes
Metro | Edmonton As city construction work slashes the number of usable skateparks in Edmonton this summer, skater Coleton Courtoreille says having more places to drop into halfpipes would be nice. “In the summer we don’t have bus passes so we don’t get out here as easily,” said Courtoreille, 16, who was riding his skateboard at the Claireview skatepark last week. “So, it would be good to have something closer so we can get here easier.” City crews have begun rehabilitating four skateparks in Edmonton to ensure ramps, halfpipes and concrete slabs are stable and safe for residents for years to come. The work is taking place at the Mill Woods, Castle Downs, Keskitayo and

Callingwood sites. “These sites were identified as high need for repair,” said Martina Gardiner, the director of open space infrastructure delivery at the city. “It’s nothing to
be worried about. We’re addressing the wear and tear caused by the environment’s freeze and thaw cycles.” But fixing the four parks means the majority (66 per cent)
of all Edmonton’s skateparks can’t be used all the time. The only two that will be fully open all summer are in Clareview and Fulton Ravine South. Keith Allred, president of the
Edmonton Skatepark Association, said that although the construction and closure of the parks are necessary, it will “cut significantly into Edmonton’s already short (skatepark) season.”
He said he hopes Edmonton will create a skatepark strategy — similar to ones in Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto — that would guide planners in determining where new facilities should go. “Skateparks are the hubs of our community,” Allred said, noting people as old as 50 skateboard. “Loss of use for even a few weeks seems like an eternity to a kid who does not have access to other areas of the city to ride another park.” Gardiner said planners are working on a strategy to determine how often they will need to inspect the parks. “We’re really excited for this project,” she said. “We’re on schedule and on budget, and this really renews a valuable resource for Edmontonians.” Crews are expected to finish work on the four skateparks this fall. The overall project cost is about $983,000.

Heavy weather leads to flooding from coast to coast

It was a weekend of constant rainfall, evacuation orders and stories of kindness and generosity, as Canadians across the country grapple with dangerously rising levels of floodwaters. In Ottawa’s Constance Bay, resident Melissa Lepage was among more than a dozen people working hard to stack sandbags around her neighbour’s house, even using a canoe to transport sandbags across the flooded lawn. “We lost everything downstairs. We couldn’t keep up with it. The water was just coming up,� Lepage said, adding the insurance company has already told her family it won’t cover the damages. “We’re living paycheque to paycheque. We won’t have money to fix the house.� In Gatineau, Que., more than 1,500 volunteers came out

Hundreds of members of the Canadian forces have been deployed into communities across the province, several of which are under a state of emergency.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said no other province had so far requested military help, but forces personnel, including reserves, are on stand-by across the country. The situation in Ontario seems to be “generally stabilizing,� although there are many unstable local circumstances, he said. Some parts of New Brunswick recorded more than 150 milli-

A trip to East Africa last fall changed Danny Glenwright’s perspective on the famine crisis affecting millions of people. The executive director of Action Against Hunger Canada was visiting various projects the charity group runs in the region, helping to build resilience in communities affected by food shortage and drought. That’s when he realized the crisis was inflicting more burden to women and young mothers. “You see moms walking miles from across the desert with their babies,� he said, describing a semi-nomadic lifestyle that forces people to move around searching for water. “It’s shocking. There’s just not been so much attention paid to some of these places and the issues they’re facing.� His organization wants Canadian mothers to know about the plight of these women — and to lend a helping hand.

new campaign, Care for Mom, is working with yoga studios and gyms across the country to drum up a “mother to mother� support. Glenwright said the goal of the campaign is to introduce Canadian mothers to the issue of food insecurity that’s affecting other mothers, and that they can make a difference. The United Nations has already declared a state of famine in some parts of South Sudan, and has warned that three other countries — Somalia, northern Nigeria and Yemen — could soon fall into the same situation if humanitarian efforts are not increased.

‘France has won’ ELECTION
Pro-EU Macron will be nation’s youngest ever president Ripping up France’s political map, voters elected independent centrist Emmanuel Macron as the country’s youngest president Sunday, delivering a resounding victory to the unabashedly pro-European former investment banker and strengthening France’s place as a central pillar of the European Union. At a victory party outside the Louvre Museum in Paris,

Macron supporters roared with delight at the news, waving red, white and blue tricolour flags. The jubilant crowd swelled to
thousands as the night wore on. Macron’s victory marked the third time in six months — following elections in Austria
and the Netherlands— that European voters shot down far-right populists who wanted to restore borders across Europe. The election of a French president who championed European unity could also strengthen the EU’s hand in its complex divorce proceedings with Britain. “France has won!” Macron said in an address to supporters. “Everyone said it was impossible. But they did not know France!” Saying Le Pen voters backed her because they were angry, he vowed: “I will do everything in the five years to come so there is no more reason to vote for the extremes.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

How can I politely turn down toasting the bride? Dear Ellen, I’m going to a friend’s wedding in June and he wants me to give the toast to the bride. I told him I have severe stage fright, but he insists. Is there a polite way to get out of it and still stay friends with him and his wife-to-be? Thanks, Mr. Terrified Dear Mr. Terrified, You are in good company. According to the Internet, singers Lorde and Adele have both been known to throw up before going on stage. British actor Stephen Fry got so scared about performing in a play that he fled the country and ended up in Belgium. It was 17 years before he was ready to get back onstage.

such behaviours. If your stage fright is bad enough to make you vomit, want to flee the country or erupt in profanities, then the polite thing to do is tell your friend you can’t toast the bride for medical reasons

most human beings have in one form or another, then you have to swallow your pride and do it anyway. It doesn’t matter if you’re tongue-tied, awkward and bound to make a fool of yourself. No matter how ridiculous you feel, the speech can still be a success. All you need to do is prepare. Write your speech ahead of time and practice delivering it. If you don’t know what to write, ask for help from a witty friend who also knows and loves the bride and groom, or use a professional wedding speechwriter, which you can find online. Finally, here’s the advice I give myself when I’m nervous about public speaking: “It’s not about you, narcissistic idiot! Stop thinking about yourself, and stick to the material!” Rather rude, but if you restrict it to personal use, you are most welcome to it. Need advice? Email Ellen:

In his blog post, Cole wonders if other black writers here can thrive. Specifically, he shouts out black women, who face more barriers than him, he told me by phone. I asked a few black women whether they felt they could work in Canadian media. “I feel like I can but I also feel I have to censor myself a bit,” said Brnesh Berhe, a writer from Edmonton. Septembre Anderson, a former journalist, didn’t feel like she could at all, telling me she left for “greener pastures” when she realized there is only space for “moderate black men journalists.” The ones who stuck with journalism aren’t hopeful. “We’re disposable or used for a particular thing/column. But not perhaps as an ongoing voice,” said Brittany Amofah, who added devaluing racialized voices is particular to Canada. Many of them spoke on the pressure to be a capital B black voice. I know I waver
between resistance and taking advantage of opportunities, even when they’re racialized. Sarah Hagi, a writer for Vice Canada, said she often felt pigeonholed as “a Muslim woman” in a “too white and marginalizing” media landscape. One of the few black women working in media, she credits American outlets for her freelance work. Amani Bin Shikhan said, “It’s in Canadian media that I feel those limitations on what I can say — and how I can say it — most.” These are some of the subtle and overt ways antiblack racism works. It’s the pressure to lower one’s voice. It’s having your platform shrunk. It’s the shifting sands on which one is meant to build. It’s in picking between work you love and doing what is right. Cole’s treatment at a publication I have trusted and the experience of brilliant black women leave me with unease. My question isn’t so much if black writers in Canada have space to be a multiplicity of identities. That I am one of a few black writers with a large platform is not a credit to me. It’s an indictment of an industry that does not value black voices. My question is: Can someone tell me how many of us are allowed in?

Cultural slights are back in the spotlight art
Indigenous groups say appropriation is an old battle The work of Toronto painter Amanda PL is infused with bright colours and bold outlines often associated with an Indigenous art style. But for many of those familiar with the Woodland School of Art, as the genre is also known, it smacks of cultural appropriation by a young artist with no claim to the tradition. Outrage over Amanda PL’s work has renewed debate over who has the right to use and profit from specific customs. It’s a decades-old problem that is only gradually being understood in a field where ideas and images are continually borrowed, traded and reinvented, say observers. B.C. lawyer Vanessa Udy says the broader public seems to be becoming more sensitive to possible cultural slights. But the onus of identifying them falls on the person who finds it offensive, and that can be difficult to determine and articulate at times. There’s no easy formula to apply when feelings are hurt — Udy notes each case requires a nuanced evaluation. “Is it a person from a group who is in power over a group that is more dispossessed? Does the commodification of their culture put down their culture? Will it create negative stereotypes in the eyes of others?” explains Udy, an intellectual property lawyer who returned to school after seven years of practice to
study aboriginal law. “That’s part of the problem of cultural appropriation, and why people don’t always seem to get it is because it is an intellectually demanding process to go through in analyzing each case.” The Toronto gallery that planned to exhibit Amanda PL’s work was quick to cancel when two complaints came in, says coowner Tony Magee, who adds he’s now fielding complaints from those angered by the cancellation. “We didn’t make our decision (to cancel) out of political correctness. We didn’t do it as caving to pressure. We did it because we opened our eyes,” says Magee, whose shop opened in January. Amanda PL has said her work was inspired by the Woodland school and has acknowledged a similarity to the work of Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau. The problem for many is that she’s white, and seems to have made no effort to consult with
the Anishinaabe community even after vociferous protest. The flap follows an uproar at the Whitney Biennial last month, when Brooklyn, N.Y.-based artist Dana Schutz came under fire for her abstract painting Open Casket. It depicts the mutilated face of lynching victim Emmett Till at his 1955 funeral. The work sparked outrage among several African-American artists offended that a white woman would tackle the subject, especially since it was a white woman whose unfounded accusations led to Till’s murder. But the difference here is that Schutz created the work as a reaction to last year’s Black Lives Matter protests, notes Magee. She has also said she has no intention of selling it. There’s certainly room for culture to be borrowed, shared and reinvented, says the man in charge of Indigenous art at the National Gallery of Canada.
“Knowledge of cultural tenets and beliefs move back and forth across cultures through history. That’s probably a good thing,” says Greg Hill, who is of Mohawk descent and from the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. “It becomes a problem when things are borrowed or taken and they’re used out of context or they’re misunderstood, they’re not understood and they’re unknowingly or purposefully used in an inappropriate way.” He points to strict rules within various cultural groups about who can do what, and who has the right to inherit stories and imagery. “These things are passed down from generation to generation. It’s really ignorant to just come in and take something and not acknowledge when it’s being pointed out to you that there might be a problem with what you’re doing,” says Hill, senior Audain curator of Indigenous art.

The New Farm
Canadians spring for asparagus FACTOIDS of FARMING
Fresh harvest
Nutrient rich, abundant crop is an industry success story
Tasty in any colour When asparagus surfaces each year, it turns green once it’s exposed to sunlight, thanks to photosynthesis. Farmers can disrupt that process by mounding soil on top of it, as it starts to shoot through the ground. Depriving the plant of sunlight causes it to stay white. Besides green and white asparagus, some markets also feature asparagus with a gene that makes it purple.
Owen Roberts
Urban Cowboy Odds are the fresh Ontario asparagus you now see in stores — the first stock of the season -— is tasty Guelph Millennium. It’s become a popular local food, a made-in-Ontario success story, credited by farmers for breathing life into what’s become a $30-million crop. “If not for Guelph Millennium, we would not have a viable industry in Ontario today,” says Bernie Solymar, executive director of the Asparagus Growers of Ontario. “That’s the bottom line.” May is shaping up to be a great month for asparagus, Ontario’s earliest commercial field crop. Warm spring days have arrived, and varieties such as Guelph Millennium are leaping out of the ground. In fact, once asparagus breaks through the soil, farmers say you can actually sit and watch it climb skyward. Indeed, it can grow as much as 25 cm in a single day. When it reaches its peak, about two weeks from now, farmers will have their hands full — literally, because they harvest the crop by hand, with a knife. It grows so fast that on hot days they have to cut it twice a day. But they really don’t mind. It’s money in the bank. To farmers, a crop’s output, called “yield,” is vital. To stay afloat, farmers have be profitable. One way they do it is by growing high yielding crop varieties. For asparagus farmers, that’s

where Guelph Millennium comes in handy. Its yield per acre is double that of older asparagus varieties. That makes growing asparagus attractive to farmers. In fact, in Ontario, acreage has increased to 3,400 acres — up 700 acres in just the past four years. And Guelph Millennium comprises 100 per cent of the new asparagus plantings in the province. There’s more. The same Guelph Millennium plant can be productive for more than 15 years. That’s about twice as long as competitive varieties. Plus, it doesn’t buckle when the mercury dives. Guelph Millennium is now grown as far north as Saskatoon. And thanks to Fox Seeds, Ontario asparagus growers’ own brand, Guelph Millennium is even being registered for farmers in chilly Russia.
Are there antibiotics in meat? I’m curious and a bit confused about the labels around antibiotics and food lately. I figured the best place to start is to ask a farmer why they even use antibiotics.
Michelle Jaelin Registered Dietitian, Toronto
But while field performance is an important part of the Guelph Millennium story, there are other reasons it’s a superstar variety, too. First, it’s high in vitamins such as folic acid, potassium, thiamine and B6. It’s a decent source of fibre. And it’s low in calories and sodium. As well, in a happy coincidence, a study showed Guelph Millennium is blessed with significantly higher levels than any other asparagus variety of an antioxidant called rutin, also found in buckwheat, onions and black olives. In the gut, bacteria convert rutin to a beneficial antiinflammatory compound called quercetin. Studies by former Guelph nutrition researcher Dr. Krista Power, now with the University of Ottawa, revealed that even at very low levels, rutin-rich
Guelph Millennium had extraordinary benefits. For example, it helped laboratory mice heal from intestinal damage caused by colitis, a condition that contributes to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Power is hopeful that further testing will show Guelph Millennium can similarly help humans suffering from chronic diseases such as IBD. “I’ve profiled many different food-types for their ability to help ease IBD, and I believe rutin-rich asparagus like Guelph Millennium could be a super food for gut health,” she says. Guelph Millennium was developed with support from the Ontario asparagus industry, and from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Happy harvesting, and here’s to healthy eating.
What’s that smell? If your pee smells odd after eating asparagus, pat yourself on the back. The Asparagus Farmers of Ontario say the smell comes from “sulfurous amino acids” that are released from the vegetable during digestion, which only one quarter of people can smell. If you sense a funny fragrance, it says, “That means you’re not only normal, you have a good nose.” Owen Roberts is an agricultural journalist at the University of Guelph.

It’s a simple question with lots of complicated answers. I work hard caring for my animals, which includes keeping them healthy. A veterinarian can prescribe antibiotics if sick chickens need treatment, but that’s rare. If we do have to treat, we follow strict withdrawal times to ensure no residues are in our meat. My family eats the same food yours does and we take our commitment to caring for chickens and producing healthy, affordable food seriously.

Draisaitl tricks Ducks to tie it up nhl playoffs
Game 6 At Rogers Place
The Edmonton Oilers are forcing the Anaheim Ducks to face their Game 7 playoff demons. Their Western Conference semifinal is going the distance after Edmonton’s decisive 7-1 victory Sunday. The winner of Wednesday’s Game 7 in Anaheim meets the Nashville Predators in the conference final. Leon Draisaitl led the Oilers with a hat trick with Mark Letestu scoring twice for the hosts. Edmonton also got goals from Zach Kassian and Anton Slepychev in front a euphoric wall of orange at Rogers Place. Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot turned away 34 of 35 shots for the win. “Obviously the season was on the line and we all had to step it up a notch and the whole group did,” Draisaitl said. Edmonton had sprinted to a six-goal lead by the first minute of the second period before the
Ducks countered with a goal from Rickard Rakell. The Oilers scoring three goals on their first six shots prompted Anaheim to replace John Gibson with Jonathan Bernier, who stopped 24 of 28 shots in relief. Momentum has swung to Edmonton, while the Ducks are under pressure to reverse a trend. Anaheim has lost a Game 7 at home each of the last four years. The Ducks were eliminated in the first rounds of 2016 (Nashville) and 2013 (Detroit), the second round of 2014 (Los Angeles) and the third round of 2015 (Chicago) in seventh games at the Honda Center. What’s more, the Ducks led each of those series 3-2 before back-to-back losses ended their seasons. “Even for us to come out

in the second period and get that sixth goal, that was big,” Letestu said. “It showed we weren’t going to get back on our heels and possibly let them get back into the hockey game. “We’re not going to blow teams out like this all the time. We expect Game 7 to be a lot tighter.” The Oilers won twice in Anaheim to open this series and narrowly lost Game 5 there in double overtime. “We knew we had to keep our foot on the gas pedal and the hockey gods gave us a chance in Game 7,” Milan Lucic said.
