Premier Dalton McGuintyis promising to stickaround if his Liberal partyis re-elected in the On-tario election this fall.
Last January, the Liber-al leader wouldn’t saywhether he’d stick it outfor four more years, butnow he says he’s made up
his mind.McGuinty says Ontario
needs experienced leader-ship, and he’s the onlyparty leader who fits thebill.
The premier made thecomments at a Liberalgathering north of Toron-to where he fired up the
party faithful with aspeech that hinted at hisyet-to-be-released electionplatform.
McGuinty says theprovince will face a lot ofchallenges over the nextdecade — including deal-ing with a Conservativegovernment in Ottawa —
but his political rivalsaren’t looking that farahead.
The NDP and Toriesmocked McGuinty’s pitch,saying while they’ve putout their platforms, theLiberals have yet to offerany concrete ideas.THE CANADIAN PRESS

“I didn’t even know Iwas going to be the firstmayor to attend. I wantedto be in (the parade) be-cause it’s right,” he said asthe last marchers reachedthe end of the route.
Fontana spoke to hun-dreds of LGBT supportersat a rally after the parade.
He said London’s futurerole in human rights andequality is firm: “Londonis no longer going to be afollower. We are going tobe a leader of equality anddiversity.”
Fontana compared thecommunity of London toan inclusive family.
“It’s all about makingsure that London is com-passionate and caring,that everyone in our com-munity is a family mem-
ber,” he said. “We have tonourish and care for ourfamily.… We’re strongerbecause of our inclusive-ness, not weaker.”
Institutions such asPride London and eventslike Pride Week are espe-cially significant to sup-port inclusiveness, themayor said.
“To be the mayor andto say, ‘Happy Pride’ cele-brates our diversity, and (Iwant to) make sure theLGBT community feels in-cluded,” Fontana said.“It’s very, very importantto me as the mayor andvery, very important to usas a city.”

Preliminary NoticeIf you paid fees to the Economic Stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee
Program, there is a proposed settlement of your claim being considered by
the courts. Read this to find out more.
What is this about?A lawsuit was started against the Province of Nova Scotia in 2009. The
goal was to get a refund for people who applied for and paid fees into the
former Economic Stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program. The
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia is now being asked to certify that lawsuit
as a class action. Your legal rights may be affected. The lawyers for both
sides have made a deal that would give a refund to eligible people. The
Supreme Court of Nova Scotia is being asked to approve the settlement as
fair and reasonable.
Would I be included if the court approves the settlement?You would be if you (1) paid money to Nova Scotia under the Economic
Stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program, (2) landed and obtained
permanent resident status in Canada, and (3) did not already get a refund.
As long as you told the truth in your application and immigration filings,
you should be eligible for a refund.
How much would I get?If you were not paid anything under a business mentorship, you will get
$75,000 less approved legal fees if your claim is successful. If you did
receive anything under a business mentorship, your payment will be
further reduced by that amount.
Would I have to pay anything out of my own pocket?No. The lawyers' fees will simply be deducted as set out above. You will not
be billed.The amount deducted from your own award for legal fees will be
15% or less. There is a costs award of $450,000 proposed to be paid on
account of fees by the government directly. The Supreme Court must
approve the lawyer’s fee as fair and reasonable.
Can I apply to get my money now?No. The court has to approve the settlement first. If you would like to
make sure that you receive a claim form later, you can email your details
to the lawyers for the proposed class. The contact lawyer for the class is
Greg McMullen, who can be reached at [email protected] or
604-631-2560.
What do I do if I want to support or oppose the settlement?
Let Greg McMullen know. You can email or mail him your views at
[email protected] or 1410-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver BC,
V6Z 1S4. You also have the right to attend the hearing, which will take
place at The Law Courts Building, 1815 Upper Water St., Halifax on
Monday, September 26, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.
What if I do not want to be part of the class action if it is approved?
If the settlement is approved, you have the option not to participate. You
will be able to complete an opt out form if you do not want to receive any
benefits or be bound by the result. If you do not want to take part, you
have to opt out. If you opt out, you will not get any benefit from the
settlement.
What if too many people opt out?If more than 50 people opt out, the Province will have the right to cancel
the settlement. Neither the Province nor the lawyer for the class expect
this to occur however.
I have other questions.For more information, visit http://www.branchmacmaster.com/nova-scotia-
immigration/. The formal court documents can be found there. If you still
have questions, just contact the lawyer appointed by the court to act for
the class, Greg McMullen at Branch MacMaster LLP, at
[email protected] or 604-631-2560.

Study finds linkbetween penissize, economyTo his surprise, a Finnish doctoralstudent has discovered size reallydoes matter when you compare penislength and world economic growth.
But despite rigorous analysis andcareful mathematical charting of da-ta, Tatu Westling isn’t quite ready to,as he puts it, “imply that I believe incausality at this point.”
The Helsinki University economicdoctoral student’s study says penis
size, more than democracy, has a “ro-bust” effect on gross domestic prod-uct.
“One striking result is the collapseof the GDP after male organ exceedsthe length of 16 centimetres,” West-ling concludes. “Male organ alonecan explain 20 per cent of thebetween-country variation in GDPgrowth rates between 1960 and1985.”
Westling’s study employs a recog-nized 121-country dataset also usedby leading economists, includingchairman of the U.S. Federal ReserveBen Bernanke, to study economicgrowth.
He applies all the usual controls ofa serious academic study.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

A NEW ‘PEACE’OF ARTWORKHITS THE ROAD
Greenwashing has becomevogue in these days of nearlyuniversal concern about glob-al warming. There’s a lot oftalk, but not many who walktheir talk. One of those who
does is Jim Kogelheide. Known to his thousands of Facebook
friends as Peaceman Jim and to hundredsof London school children as Mr. Jim,Kogelheide is a peace activist, artist, artteacher and environmentalist all wrappedup in the guise of a bus driver.
For the past couple of years, he’s driven the “peacebus,” which is a regular Murphy Lines school bus decorat-ed with art created by the kids who ride it every day toand from school.
Having studied graphic design at Fanshawe College, Ko-gelheide travelled around the country for five years with
wife Joanne Custy, workingon the Canada: Glorious toBe national mural project.The duo spent their timecreating their art andtalking to school kids andcommunity groups aboutart, peace and the environ-ment. Kogelheide and Custyreturned to the city theyloved and settled down herein 2004.
Though his Stikmanseries (stick figures spread-ing the peace message) hasenjoyed some notoriety ashe distributed it throughthe country during his trav-els, Kogelheide realized thatbeing a full-time artist is ahard way to make a living.But a serendipitous momentcame when he was gazingout the window of his Byronhome one day, contemplat-
ing his next move down his winding life’s journey, when aschool bus passed by. An epiphany occurred: as a schoolbus driver, he’d make a steady income and still have timefor his twin passions of gardening his veggie patch andvolunteering in community organizations that promotesustainable living and environmental causes.
After driving his plain bus for a while, Kogelheidenoticed another driver had butterfly drawings all overhers. After checking with the boss, he posted some of hisown peace-based artwork. The kids were intrigued. Hethrew it out as a challenge and got the kids excited aboutmaking art about peace and the environment. He offereda contest to up the ante a bit.
The kids love having their artwork displayed on thewindows and ceilings of the peace bus, but none aredisplayed on windows that obstruct sightlines.
The peace bus rocks with kids’ voices raised in songand is one of the most colourful on the road. Give it awave or thumbs up next time the peace bus rolls yourway. Check out bitsandpeaces.com.

Before he died, KurtCobain’s mother used toplead with her famous son“not to join that stupidclub.” The club in questionis the morose collective offamous musicians whodied at the age of 27.
As with its tragic newestmember Amy Winehouse,who died on Saturday, thedeparture of these singersoften leaves behind a com-plicated legacy.
JIMI HENDRIX (1942-1970)This left-handed guitarist iscredited with revolutioniz-ing the way the electric gui-tar is played, and within hisbrief recording career heshowed so muchinnovation that we are onlyleft to speculate how differ-ent music would be todayhad he lived longer.

Her highs and lows
Sept. 14, 1983Winehouse is born inSouthgate, London.
1993 - her teensWinehouse goes to school,including the Sylvia YoungTheatre School, which has
an emphasis on perform-ing arts.
2002 She signs with SimonFuller, music producer andAmerican Idol creator.Winehouse can thank herthen-boyfriend, singerTyler James, for sending inher demo tape.
2003Her major label debut,Frank, is a critical darling,and a hit in the U.K.,though it never fullycrossed over in America.
2006Back to Black, her old-school R&B collaborationwith music producer MarkRonson, features her hits
You Know I’m No Goodand Rehab. It makes her aninternational megastar.
2008She wins the mostGrammys ever by a femaleBritish act.
2008 and onIt’s all a blur. Despite cut-ting some tracks and scat-
tered live appearances,Winehouse is morefrequently seen stumblingout of nightclubs or offstage.
July 23, 2011Winehouse is pronounceddead by British police. Thecause of death is currentlyunknown but an overdoseis suspected.
Lately, Winehouse hadbeen more famous forher druggy exploits thanher performances.
Anyone who saw theYouTube footage of aJune concert in Belgradeknew she was ill — shecancelled her Europeantour immediately after.Before Saturday, thatclip was a funny train
wreck. Now it looks tobe a cry for help.
Winehouse had onlyreleased two discs of mu-sic, her last and most fa-mous, Back to Black, in2006. But although herquantity was minimal,the quality was sooutstanding, and reveal-ing, that it may havebeen all she could give.
She lived her life likethe lyrics she wrote: hermisery, heartache andself-destructive urges allspoke to a pain that con-nected to listenersaround the world.
She told us she wastrouble. But we never be-lieved her when she saidshe was no good.

Milestones help gauge whethera child is developing normally,
but there’s variation.
Guilt: A mother’s disease
Riley Harriff, 5, and his sis-ter Maddy, 4, are happychildren. They’re well-ad-justed, too, and do well inpre-school. But even so,their mother, Roberta,feels incessantly guilty.
“Every day I have timesof feeling guilty for work-ing too much, or having towork at all when I see somany stay-at-homemoms,” she says. “I feelguilty that I let themwatch too much TV.”
Harriff, 37, works full-time as a human resourcesadministrator in Chicago.
“Sometimes I feel guiltybecause other kids are indance classes and dosports, while we don’thave the time or extramoney to do those thingswith them right now. Theguilt is constant!”
On a rational level, Har-riff’s guilt feelings are mis-placed — but virtuallyevery mother has them.“Mother’s guilt goes backto biblical times,” saysKathy Hirsh-Pasek, a pro-fessor of psychology atTemple University and theauthor of Einstein Neverused Flashcards: How Chil-dren Really Learn and WhyThey Need To Play Moreand Memorize Less.
“But today’s mothersare expected to do it all,and they don’t have ex-tended family nearby. And
the grass is always greeneron the other side: stay-at-home mothers want a job,‘working mothers’ want tostay home, and motherswith part-time work feelinsufficient in both roles.”
But working mothersfeel guilty more often. “Ihave one hour in themorning and two hoursbefore bed with my kids,and most of that time isspent getting dressed, eat-ing, and getting ready forbed,” says Harriff. “It’shard to feel like you havequality time with them.”
Though most scientificstudies show no differencebetween children of stay-at-home-mothers and chil-dren of working mothers,some reports reverberatein the mother-guilt com-munity. One, earlier thisyear, showed that childrenof working mothers gaintwo pounds more per yearthan other children.
Another study this yearshowed that when a moth-er works outside thehome, her child’s risk ofhaving overnight hospital-izations, asthma episodes,injuries and poisonings in-creases by 200 per cent.
Roberta Harriff with Maddy and Riley.
“I have one hour inthe morning andtwo hours beforebed with my kids.It’s hard to feel likeyou have qualitytime with them.” HARRIFF, WORKING MOM
Julia’s trick
“Nope.” That was JuliaRoberts’ answer whenasked if she experiencedmom guilt. She decided to be more se-lective about work, whichis probably not possible for you.
But you could do this: “I try to have a steadfast rulethat I run a kitchen, not adiner. So, I just make onemeal...and I have to cookwhat I think we’re allgoing to enjoy,” she toldAccess Hollywood.

Sometimes as a mom everything can be totally perfect Yet you feel this gnawing sensation that something is just not right It may be irrational but it feels very real
There’s no formula tofix mother’s guilt, saysHirsh-Pasek. “The bestmothers make peace withthemselves. If you don’thave dinner ready on time,don’t say, ‘I failed again!’See it as an opportunity toteach your child that hu-mans are not perfect anddon’t have to be.”

The acute decaying healthof the world’s oceans sur-faced in a report by the In-ternational Programme onthe State of the Ocean inJune. Metro met PhilippeCousteau Jr., grandson oflegendary filmmaker andmarine biologist JacquesCousteau, in London to dis-cuss the future of our coralreefs.
What is the future of thecoral reefs?A recent report cited coralreefs as one of the indica-tors of the general declinein ocean health.
By some estimateswe’ve lost already about 25per cent of the world’scoral reefs. And further es-timates suggest that overthe next few decades we’lllose another 25 per cent. What will happen if we losethe coral reefs?A tremendous amount of
seafood either has its ori-gins in, or is related to,coral reef ecosystems anda lot of people rely onthem, especially develop-ing nations.
If the coral reefs hadbeen healthy along thecoastlines in South EastAsia, the damage of thetsunami would have beengreatly reduced.
Protecting nature for
nature’s sake isn’t alwaysenough justification foreverybody in the world; itought to be, but there arereal human issues here aswell, so corals are very im-portant.Why is the health of thecoral reefs declining?Coral is coloured becauseof an algae living inside it.As oceanic temperaturerises, which is happeningall over the world, the al-
gae leaves and the coralcan’t survive. If corals aredying, it means thatthroughout the oceanssomething is wrong. It’s agreat indicator of pollu-tion.How does coral gardeningwork?The corals are taken out ofthe ocean and put underlamps and given perfectlyclean water and perfecttemperatures, just like youwould in a nursery with atree or a plant or flowers. What can we do as individu-als to save the seas?Buy environmentally-friendly cleaning products,detergents, soaps, and usethem as little as possible.Eat less meat, more localand seasonal produce. Useorganic cotton and publictransport. Every person inthe world has power tomake the world a betterplace.

The Toronto Blue Jays havefinally built a nest in Coop-erstown.
Roberto Alomar and PatGillick were given plaquesbeside one another in theBaseball Hall of Fame aftergetting inducted as part ofthe same class yesterday. Itwas fitting, as each of theirmemorials included a refer-ence to the World Series ti-tles they won together inToronto in 1992 and ’93.
Alomar spoke passion-ately about the five seasonshe spent as a member of theBlue Jays during his accept-ance speech.
The sharp-fielding sec-ond baseman thankedGillick for the 1990 tradethat brought him to Toron-to and indicated the honouris a chance to give back tothe fans in the city.
“My time in Toronto wasthe best of my career,” saidAlomar. “It was with Toron-to that we won two WorldSeries together — you guysembraced me from Day 1.You were with me throughups and downs and I am soproud to represent you herein Cooperstown as the firstToronto Blue Jay inductedinto the Baseball Hall of
Fame.”The other Hall of Famers
who once played for theBlue Jays — Phil Niekro,Paul Molitor, Dave Winfieldand Rickey Henderson —were on stage as part of agroup of returning mem-bers. But each of their ca-reers were defined in othercities and carry different lo-gos on their plaques.
Alomar is the first in-ducted with the Jays logo.
Gillick’s speech includednumerous references to theBlue Jays, a team he joinedprior to the expansion sea-son of 1977 and helped
build into a powerhouse.“We thought it would be
a great new challenge, ac-cepted it and ended up liv-ing 30 years in thatbeautiful Canadian city,”said Gillick. “For a baseballperson, it was a dreamcome true — imagine beingable to build a team fromscratch in a city whereeveryone was excited aboutfinally having a major-league team.”
