‘One-off event’ killed 9,000 research fish U OF A

Freshwater tanks flooded by chlorine, officials say Omar Mosleh

More than 9,000 fish and frogs are dead after a dechlorination pump failed at the University of Alberta’s Aquatics Facility. According to university officials the freshwater tanks at the facility were flooded with chlorinated water sometime between May 12 and May 13, after the switch that provided power to the pump corroded and stopped working. The chlorine found in tap water is toxic to fish and frogs, and levels became fatal within 30 minutes, said Walter Dixon, the university’s associate vicepresident of research.

“It was really a one-off unfortunate event, but with very tragic consequences,” Dixon said. Among the casualties were 75 frogs, 1,093 adult trout, 96 carp, 2,073 goldfish, and about 6,000 baby fish. The fish were used for research on the impact of toxins in the environment, including hydraulic fracturing fluids and microbeads, as well as how climate change affects fish. “The biggest consequence is actually on the grad students doing their research,” Dixon said. Those students will likely have to wait months before the fish are replaced, as the facility needs approval from a regulatory agency. The incident comes as the university was ready to start phase 1 of a renovation, Dixon said, which would have included a new “fail-safe backup system” with online chlorine monitoring. “Circumstances overtook us and this event happened before we could begin that process.”

Singular mom

Chanel Monson wants others to benefit from Woven Journey, a program designed to help struggling mothers and their kids. Now she’s hoping a fundraiser will restore it. KEVIN MAIMANN/METRO EDMONTON

Chanel Monson struggled to find help as a young single mom until she came to iHuman at age 21. Now, the program that Monson says offered her and her son a crucial sense of community has been cut — so she’s fighting to bring it back. “I’ve never really connected to anybody other than the younger moms here that go through similar situations, and have the advice to get through it,” she said. Woven Journey, launched as a pilot project with a one-time federal grant in 2008, offered a play group and a mother’s room for low-income moms aged 14-24. Through an Indigenous cultural lens, it taught parenting skills and worked to break cycles of abuse experienced by many of the women who attended. It’s where Monson found a safe, non-judgmental space to connect with moms and share her experiences, while her son made new connections as well. “In other play groups, other moms will look at me and they’ll glare at me or they’ll tell their children not to play with my son. I’ve never had that happen here,” Monson said. She also started volunteering to help new moms who came on board, but the program went on hiatus last December — after the donations that have kept it running fell behind the

growing demand. Monson has been feeling the loss of the program, and so has her son Landon, four. “He misses coming here,” she said. “It’s just developing those close relationships that have been taken.” Up to 15 young women would attend Woven Journey with their children each week. iHuman Executive Director Catherine Broomfield said the program has been a crucial sup-

port for those moms, many of whom are at high risk themselves, and it has kept kids out of the child welfare system. She said it was forced into a “hiatus” in December, but iHuman hopes to raise $40,000 at its Kick it Up fundraiser Thursday to reboot the program for a year. Monson will speak at the event, running from 6 to 9 p.m., which will feature live music, a shoe raffle and more.

She remembers what life was like before Woven Journey and the connections she made there, and doesn’t want to lose what she’s built up. “Being able to provide myself with personal supports of people that would actually care about me and wanted me around, I guess — just the need to feel wanted was missing,” Monson said.

IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF THE

Premier Rachel Notley has announced the first new hospital to be built in Edmonton in 30 years. Expected to take a decade to build, the state-of-the-art hospital will have 350-500 beds. The province will invest $400 million into planning and development of the hospital, with more funds to come when construction starts. Crews will break ground in the next three years. It will be located on a piece of governmentowned land near 127 Street and Ellerslie Road. “While some say now is not the time to make these kinds of investments in the health of Alberta families, I disagree,” Notley said at the announcement in the Heritage Valley area. The province selected the location for its accessibility, proximity to future LRT expansion plans and abundance of open space. Minister of Infrastructure

Brian Mason added that the site is close to the airport as well as several highways for medical evacuation and that the government owns the site. Southwest Edmonton resident Rhiannon Hoyle praised the announcement. “This new hospital will certainly enhance the quality of life for residents here,” she said. Friends of Medicare Executive Director Sandra Azocar said the announcement will alleviate much of the strain hospitals in the city are facing. “It’s certainly going to assist some of the capacity issues that hospitals have increasingly seen over the years. It’s definitely a welcome news for the community surrounding the new hospital site,” she said. But she noted that it will be a decade before that relief is felt. “The only problem that we have is that it’s going to be 10 years from now ... so we’d definitely like to see more of an investment into the home care and building of new public longterm care beds.”

Three dozen trees poisoned Environment

City asking public to help find the culprit Kevin Maimann

Metro | Edmonton Someone poisoned three dozen trees in Edmonton’s river valley, and officials are asking the public to help find the culprit. City workers suspected poisoning when they discovered an area of dead trees and brush along Valleyview Drive, north of 90 Avenue, last fall. They sent leaf and tissue samples to a private lab for tests, which determined the trees were contaminated by a heavy dose of glyphosate — the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup.

Wilf Brooks, who spearheaded the movement to bring back the ‘City of Champions’ phrase to Edmonton, says he’s not defeated following city council’s decision to quash the slogan’s resurrection. “The City of Champions lives on,” he exclaimed, even though it won’t be on the greeting signs. “It’s the spirit of Edmonton. The phrase stays with us forever and we will not let it die.” Earlier this month, Coun. Tony Caterina introduced a motion to revive the controversial slogan, once plastered onto signs outside the city before they were taken down in 2015. Caterina argued the slogan wasn’t just about the Oilers, but championing efforts like welcoming newcomers and aiding evacuees during the Fort McMurray wildfire. Still, most councillors disagreed, and voted 7-5 to stop the signs from being installed.

Child advocate gains powers Legislation

Death of every child recently in care will get reviewed Alberta’s child advocate will probe the death of every child who dies in government care under proposed legislation introduced Tuesday. Children’s Services Minister Danielle Larivee says Bill 18 will also require child and youth advocate Del Graff to review the death of every child who has recently been in care. “When these heartbreaking tragedies happen, Albertans expect their government to take a hard, honest look at the system and what may have gone wrong,” Larivee told the legislature. Larivee said the bill “would empower the child and youth advocate, creating for the first time in Alberta a primary authority for reviewing the deaths. “We would eliminate gaps and roadblocks that prevent important information from

Bill 18 will require official agencies dealing with the deaths of children in care to share information with Child and Youth Advocate Del Graff. Kevin Tuong/for metro

being shared across the system.” The legislation incorporates recent recommendations from an all-party committee reviewing ways to make children safer in government care

following the death of a fouryear-old girl named Serenity. Bill 18 will require any official agencies dealing with the deaths of children in care to share information with Graff. If an agency — including police

— wants Graff to delay his review to avoid interfering in an investigation, it must deliver reasons and updates every six months. Graff will have to report publicly on every death review and

deliver broad updates to a legislature committee twice a year. Given the disproportionate number of First Nations children in the system, Graff will also have indigenous advisers help with reviews and shaping of policy. Graff said he welcomes the changes but no external review can compensate if information isn’t forthcoming from those closest to the situation. Larivee agreed that the proactive disclosure element of the bill is critical. Public agencies have been reticent to share information to avoid any legal consequences for breaching privacy, she said. But she said that has to change. “It is a culture shift,” Larivee said. “We’re making it really clear ... to say that this is actually your inherent responsibility to share this information.” Wildrose member Jason Nixon, a member of the all-party panel examining the child welfare system, said the bill is a good first step. But he said the panel’s work demonstrated that “culture shift” remains a hurdle. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Renovation

Coliseum plans put on ice Jeremy Simes

Metro | Edmonton Hockey Canada’s renovation plans for the Coliseum have been put on hold after councillors said Tuesday that need more details on Northland’s redevelopment plan before going further. The move comes after city staff told councillors a complete retrofit of the Coliseum, to make way for Hockey Canada’s proposed centre of excellence, could cost $150 million, a 76 per cent jump from Northland’s original $85-million idea to turn the former home of the Oilers into a multiplex rink. “Assuming (Hockey Canada’s plan) is tied to this site and this building is premature,” said Mayor Don Iveson. In April, Hockey Canada made their case at council to take over the beloved structure. The city has long been trying to figure out what to do with the site after the Oilers left for Rogers Place last year.

An emotional Frances Neumann talks about her sister-in-law Mary Smith John at the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Whitehorse. THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘We did not protect them’

MMIW

Family urges commissioners not to ignore results of inquiry Frances Neumann searched tirelessly for her missing sisterin-law in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, only to learn from a newspaper article she had been dead for years. Neumann, the first family member to speak publicly at the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, urged the commissioners not to let Mary Smith John’s death be in vain. Smith John fled Yukon as a young woman after enduring the loss of an infant son and was found dead of an alcohol overdose in 1982. Neumann said Smith John had been in the company of Gilbert Paul Jordan, known as the “Boozing Barber,” who is believed to have plied multiple women with a lethal dose of liquor. “We let them down. We did not protect them because they were weak,” Neumann said

Tuesday, wiping away tears. Jordan was convicted of manslaughter in the death of a non-Indigenous woman in 1988. But he was linked to several aboriginal women’s deaths before then, reported APTN in a segment that was played at the hearing. He died in 2006. “I thank Canada for supporting our families,” Neumann said. “Please, please see this through. We have come up and waited for many years to see the results. Don’t sweep it under the carpet.” Neumann’s testimony marked an emotional start to the first family hearings. The commissioners have faced criticism about poor communications and delays. Chief Commissioner Marion Buller began Tuesday’s hearing with an opening statement. She said Canada needs to hear the truth about the violence endured by generations of Indigenous women and girls in order to have a better understanding of systemic violence, to find solutions and heal. More than 40 people are expected to share their stories this week.

Border crosser dies of possible hypothermia It was just a matter of time until an aslyum seeker died trying to illegally cross the border into Canada, the reeve of Emerson, Man., said Tuesday. Greg Janzen was reacting to the death of Mavis Otuteye, a 57-yearold woman believed to be from Ghana, whose body was found late last week near Noyes, Minn. the canadian press

British Columbia

NDP, Greens strike deal; Clark resistant

British Columbia would hold a referendum next year on proportional representation as part of an agreement that would see the NDP form a minority government with the support of the Green party. The two parties have also agreed to ban corporate and union donations to political parties, as well as contributions from non-residents of B.C. after fundraising became a major issue in this month’s provincial election campaign.

The parties said Tuesday they would use “every tool available” to stop the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, and would refer the Site C hydroelectric dam to the B.C. Utilities Commission to determine its economic viability. NDP Leader John Horgan and Green Leader Andrew Weaver signed the four-year deal in front of their caucuses at the legislature in Victoria. Premier Christy Clark said she is not ready to walk away

from office before recalling the legislature to see if she can get support to continue governing. But Clark appears resigned to losing a confidence motion, opening the way for the secondplace NDP to be given a chance to form a government by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. Ultimately, Clark said, it would be up to the lieutenant-governor to decide whether the NDP gets the green light or whether a new election is called. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Top stars join benefit concert as Manchester returns to normalcy

A week after a bombing at her Manchester Arena concert killed 22 people, singer Ariana Grande said she and other top stars — including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Coldplay and Miley Cyrus — will perform at a benefit concert in the city on Sunday night. The singer announced Tuesday that the “One Love Manchester” show will be held at the city’s Old Trafford cricket ground. “We will not quit or operate in fear. We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win,” Grande said in a statement.

“Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before.” Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Police briefly asked the public to stay out of a neighbourhood in the nearby town of Wigan on Tuesday as a bomb disposal unit searched for explosives — part of the investigation into the attack that hit Grande’s concert. Officials trying to unmask the network behind Salman Abedi

searched a property in Wigan, 20 miles northwest of Manchester, and placed a security cordon around the neighbourhood for several hours. But London’s Metropolitan Police said Tuesday that military support for the counterterrorism operations is gradually being reduced now that the official threat level has been lowered from “critical” to “severe.” Officials also said extra police staffing that had been added to protect public gatherings over the holiday weekend would

be reduced. The railway station next to Manchester Arena, which had been shut since the blast, reopened Tuesday, easing transport woes for residents. The return to a level of normalcy followed days of emotional tributes to the Manchester attack victims. Hundreds stood in quiet contemplation at St. Ann’s Square, where a sea of cards, flowers and balloons has grown into an impromptu memorial site for those killed and injured in the blast.

JESSICA ALLEN ON GIMMICK FOOD

Food has morphed from being something that sustains us to something that defines us.

I can’t think of a situation in which I would be compelled to order a bowl of cereal at a restaurant. I still have a threeyear-old box of Cheerios that’s yet to need the green bin. But despite my personal distaste, cereal cafés and bars are popping up all over the world. The idea, borrowed perhaps from frozen yogurt chains, is simple: dispense childhood favourites and esoteric brands of cereals —Madrid’s The Cereal Lovers boasts over 150 varieties — and provide toppings, like fresh fruit, dried coconut, milk and milk alternatives. You can imagine the interiors, right? Bright, cheerful, and colourful, not unlike the image of the bowl of cereal that is begging to be shared on social media. It’s a business strategy capitalizing on impulses that, as a non-millennial, I don’t have: the desire to see something on Instagram — like an artisanal ice cream sandwich or a Caesar garnished with a grilled shrimp the size of a Buick — and go out of my way to experience and document it. In fact, when it comes to businesses exploiting the latest food trends, whether it be a sushi burrito or a smoothie bowl, I’ve become so contrarian that I’ll go out of my way not to experience them.

They saw the wall of dispensers dishing out nuts and bolts and thought it was a great model for serving something. “We both love cereal,” he said, and with a little snap, crackle, and pop, the business was born. Silo 13 had their grand opening Victoria Day weekend. It went well, especially on the Sunday when they “got slammed.” The following Sunday, how-

ever, the place was empty, save for me (it was research) and Simon (I made him come). I filled my bowl with eight cereals, not one of which looked or sounded healthy, and chose two per cent milk to top it off. The first bite was euphoric. I was taken back to the kitchen table of my childhood. Was it the Count Chocula? Or the Fruity Pebbles? I can’t be certain because every other bite tasted like wet sugar. I don’t think Silo 13 has me in mind as a regular customer. In fact, I wonder if they have regular customers in mind full stop. “We designed the place so that it’s Instagrammable,” Cai says. “We like to say, ‘If you shoot us, tag us.’” But what are the chances that once you have that social media post, you’ll go back for a second? Cereal may have a long shelf-life, but gimmicks don’t. So I’m not sure a cereal bar is a sustainable business model. Food has morphed from being something that sustains us to something that defines us, usually via social media. And since I forgot to Instagram my freestyle cereal bowl, I have no idea who I am.

Safe spaces don’t exist solely to keep you out Vicky Mochama

Metro | Toronto When oppressed groups create spaces for themselves, it’s not — drum roll, please — reverse discrimination. It is a response to actual discrimination by creating a place where they (we, depending on the day and event) can safely exist. The mayor of Paris called for the Nyansapo film festival, a black feminist gathering, to be banned on the basis that it purportedly excluded white people. The organizers say that the public areas had always been intended to be open to people of all races. However, some spaces on private property would be reserved for black people of all genders. Back in North America, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a movie chain based in Austin, Texas announced it would hold five women-only screenings of Wonder Woman. The connection here to radical politics is a little more tenuous; I’m not sure that a handful of screenings for a corporate summer blockbuster is exactly women’s liberation. But the sentiment, a safe space for women to experience an action film, is fine. The reaction was a large helping of the usual: men online complained about sexism. In both of these we find a deep misunderstanding of how the world works. Safe spaces are not particularly novel. They have a long and storied history, some of which has a Canadian

connection. Some safe spaces have been entire institutions created to serve people who have experienced systemic discrimination. For example, historically black colleges and universities in the U.S. came about as a response to racist admissions practices at American universities. Others are about creating a place for communities at the margins to centre themselves while still including others. The Wonder Woman movie is the first female-led comic book movie in years and the first with a woman director. Five showings among thousands does not amount to discriminating against men. Similarly, the black feminist film festival seeks to give black people a space that is solely theirs within the larger event, and more importantly, within the larger majority-white and anti-black Parisian culture. It’s important when criticizing these spaces to recognize the environments they are created in. All too often, the arguments for free speech forget that speech exists within certain contexts. For women and people of colour, the bigger picture is often one of a world that has chronically excluded them. When men and white people feel left out or discriminated against by spaces like these, they are expressing their discomfort with boundaries. The lines are drawn to keep the people inside them safe in a world that regularly threatens their peace.

EDMONTON CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL

100TH MERIDIAN WINS GOLD AT BREWING AWARDS Known as the “Oscars” of brewing, The International Brewing Awards have recognized the excellence of craft of brewing since 1888. This year, more than 1000 beers & ciders from 50 countries were assessed and just 33 emerged as gold medal winners of the prestigious award. “We are so honoured to receive this medal because it speaks to the trust in Mill Street beers that our fans have come to know and love. Recognition by our peers makes this award a particular pleasure to win,” says Mill Street Brewmaster Joel Manning. “All of the organic barley malt, hops and yeast used to make this beer come from west of the 100th Meridian to give it a wonderful character that's 100 per cent organic. It is a truly Canadian craft brew that combines the ‘best of the west’ ingredients, with a unique recipe and classic Mill Street smoothness,” says Manning. It’s this commitment to quality Canadian sourcing and production which helped 100th Meridian to take the top prize for Specialty Class 3 Organic Beer. First brewed at the Mill Street Toronto brewpub, 100th Meridian Organic Amber Lager was released as a part of the Mill Street summer seasonal mix pack in 2014. Thanks to its lightly f loral grapefruit and citrus aroma, solid pale and caramel malt f lavour and soft, lingering finish, it comes as no surprise that this brew quickly earned a place in Mill Street’s full-time lineup. In October of 2016, Mill Street continued its tradition of innovation by opening its first Alberta brew pub in the historic Costigan House on Calgary’s famous Red Mile. Under Manning’s leadership, Calgary Head Brewer Bennie Dingemanse crafts his own unique selection of locally inspired one-off brews along with returning Mill Street favourites. For a taste of Dingemanse’s work, visit the Calgary brewpub or pick up Mill Street’s Summer Brewpub Pack to try his Honest Bucker Pale Ale.

Now that’s something worth savouring.

First Lady Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) sleeps in her White House bed next to her lover, Thomas (Paul Sparks), who’s writing a biography of her husband Francis (Kevin Spacey), the U.S. president. From a chair beside the bed, Francis gazes at them. Claire rolls over, sees him. She rises on an elbow.

“I couldn’t sleep,” he says. Calmly, they discuss ... why they’re not further ahead in the polls for tomorrow’s election. She reassures him that they’ve damaged his opponent. “Maybe we don’t know what he’s hiding, but the public knows there’s something,” she says. Thomas makes noises in his sleep. Francis cocks his head. “He hums sometimes,” Claire says. “Like what?” Francis asks. “Does he do it often?” He sits beside her on the bed. “Do it for me,

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum

Our bagels are better EATS

New York vs. Montreal? Actually, it’s not even close Sean Plummer It is a question that has long been debated and whose answer is entirely subjective. Or is it? Which is better: New York or Montreal-style bagels? The two differ in texture,

taste and size. Montreal bagels are smaller, tender inside and crispy on the outside. They also tend to be sweeter thanks to be being boiled in honey water before they’re baked in wood-burning ovens. New York bagels are made from salt and malt, and are baked in standard ovens. The debate brings out a lot of passion on both sides. David Heti, in a story he wrote for Vice in 2015, made the point that no one in Montreal covets New York bagels, though Montreal-style bagels have a dedicated following in Manhattan.

There’s a reason they served screech rum cocktails at the recent Broadway opening-night party for hit musical Come From Away. Screech is a staple of Newfoundland and Labrador, sold throughout Canada and parts of the U.S. It is also the titular tipple at a screech-in, a raucous ceremony where those “from away” are made honourary Newfoundlanders by kissing a cod (literally) and washing it away with a shot of screech.
