A 11-metre steel beam, right, the last such fragment removed from Ground Zero, sits inside the National September 11 Memorial Museum. The beam is next to a portion of the World Trade Center’s slurry or retaining wall, the subterranean monolith that vitally withstood the disaster and was claimed by New Yorkers as an emblem of resilience. Below, a detail of the graffiti and memorials to the dead that cover the beam.

A Fire Department of New York truck, right, belonging to Ladder Company 3, crushed when the World Trade Center towers fell. Each member of the responding company died in the north tower, among the people memorialized in the museum set to open on May 21.

Bottom: Fragments of the fuselage of American Airlines Flight 11, which slammed into the World Trade Center’s north tower at 8:48 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001. All 92 people aboard Flight 11 died, and countless more perished when the north tower collapsed less than two hours later.

AUSTERE. STRIKING. ASTONISHING. EXCRUCIATING

......

JOANNA SLATER NEW YORK ...... t’s hard to enter the new National September 11 IMemorial Museum without a sense of forebod- ing. For anyone with memories of that day in 2001, a visit requires you to return to a time you’re not sure you want to relive. It’s perhaps fitting that seeing the museum involves a slow descent, via ramps. The main exhibits are seven storeys below ground in the structural cavity where the World Trade Cen- ter towers once stood. The museum, which opens to the public on May 21, is austere and striking, much like the memorial next to it. You may find yourself walking slowly through its spaces, whether out of apprehension or awe. The mind struggles to grasp the enormity of the towers and the destructive power of that day. One of the first artifacts is a section of steel, bent and warped, from the point of impact of the first plane. Another is a fire truck that was half crushed when the buildings collapsed. In its retelling of what happened on Sept. 11, the museum immerses visitors in sounds and images. There are television clips, photographs, voicemails and transmissions by first responders. To make sense of the overlapping events, there is an impres- sive timeline documenting the attacks on New York and the Pentagon, together with the crash of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

The result is both astonishing and excruciating. Numerous times, I felt rooted to where I stood, fro- zen by what I was seeing or hearing. There is the voice of Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers, tell- ing passengers to stay quiet and not to make “any stupid moves.” There are the projected images of people jumping or falling from the towers. And there is the video taken by an American astronaut from space, where he points out the billowing smoke but tries to reassure New Yorkers that their city is still beautiful from where he sits.

NATIONAL SECURITY SECURITY CERTIFICATES Supreme Court gives Harper a victory

...... n the case of Mohamed Harkat, the Supreme Court has come Iclose to squaring the circle in the difficult matter of “security certificates,” but it could not have done so if the government had not already modified this drastic deportation procedure. The essential allegation against Mr. Harkat is that he is a terrorist “sleeper agent.” Non-citizens – whether tourists or terrorists – do not have an absolute right to live in Canada. The government can imprison a non-Canadian who is believed to be a threat to national security. He is then held under a security certificate, with a view to deporta- tion. But what if he can’t be deported? In the case of Mr. Harkat, an Algerian granted refugee status in 1997, Canada does not want to repeat its mistake in letting the United States deport Maher Arar to Syria, where he was tortured. Mr. Harkat might be in grave danger in his home country. The security certificate is a conspicuous exception to the general rule that courts and tribunals should be open to the public, and that accused persons should know the allegations and evidence against them.

...... Our Blonde Roast Pretoria, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius will undergo psychiatric evaluation after the judge ruled at his murder trial Wednesday that his state of mind when he coffee is winning killed his girlfriend should be as- sessed by experts, possibly delay- ing court proceedings for two months. The ruling was prompted by hearts and mugs. testimony by a psychiatrist on behalf of the defence that the double-amputee Olympic athlete has generalized anxiety disorder and that this may have influ- enced his judgment when he fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp in his home on Feb. 14, 2013. The chief prosecutor, Gerrie Nel, then requested psychiatric testing – a move opposed by Mr. Pistorius’s chief lawyer. Justice Thokozile Masipa agreed with the prosecutor, saying it was important to independently assess Mr. Pistorius’s state of mind because the defence might now argue that he was not crimi- nally responsible for the shooting because of his anxiety disorder. – Associated Press ......

COMMENT & ANALYSIS

...... ENERGY Trans Mountain plan snared in anti-pipeline contagion

......

JEFFREY JONES [email protected]

...... here was a time, not all that Tlong ago, when it appeared that the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project would get a much easier ride in the public arena than Enbridge Inc.’s Northern Gateway proposal. It’s not looking that way today. Kinder Morgan Energy Part- ners’ $5.4-billion plan – tripling the capacity of the current Trans Mountain system to get scads of oil sands-derived crude to the Pacific – is in the early stages of its regulatory review and the op- position in British Columbia is girding for battle. This is now standard for any major oil pipeline project, regardless of whether it cuts new routes or makes use of old ones. Despite its best efforts, Kinder Morgan is headed into its own era of contention.

Maybe that’s why we’re one of Canada’s leading financial services companies with over $11 billion in assets under management. Or why over one million Canadians trust our vast range of financial and insurance products and services. Not to mention a commitment to customer service with a real human touch. But that’s certainly no surprise either. At SSQ, that’s just our policy.

Debt makes you vulnerable to a drop in in- come or job loss, and it may pre- vent you from saving enough for retirement. Reducing the amount you owe is a good thing to do, pe- riod. But today’s high debt loads are not as dangerous as once thought. We need a more nuanced discussion on debt than just shouting at people about how bad it is.

The result is wicker of stormwater runoff like you’ve never seen it before

...... ELLEN HIMELFARB ...... oyal Bank of Canada’s Water- Rscape Garden is hedged in hawthorn, shadowed by alders, crawling with ferns and dotted with crocus, iris and anemone. It’s the size of a suburban bun- galow but seems larger, like an idyll seen through the eyes of a film director, such as Sofia Cop- pola or Lars von Trier – a won- der to walk through, but not overtly so: Wow factor with a small “w.” This green space has a more sober mission than delighting with bold colours and gestures. Under the surface, it is working hard. The Waterscape Garden is part of the Blue Water Project, the bank’s long-running charita- ble endeavour to help preserve clean water and promote re- sponsible use and management. On May 20, RBC will unveil it at the Chelsea Garden Show in London as a model of what can happen when gardeners put their mind to tackling that grow- ing threat: stormwater runoff. The Venetians are drowning in stormwater. The Dutch are bare- ly keeping their heads above it. If it doesn’t exactly make front- page news in Canada, it could soon. Each new road, property development, factory or airport creates a fresh obstacle for rain or melted snow returning to the earth. Instead, the runoff is forced into lakes and rivers and mucks up our drinking water with chemicals, salt and pollu- tants. The increased and accel- erated water flow causes riverbanks to erode, which wreaks havoc on animal – and human – habitats. According to a recent Canadian Water Attitude Study, more than 3.5 million Canadians were affected by extreme weather events last year. Yet, only 23 per cent worry about droughts or flooding and only 9 per cent have implemented precaution- ary measures to protect their property. More than half of all Canadians have impermeable paved driveways that exacerbate the problem.

SPOTLIGHT WHAT THE NOSE KNOWS ...... Just in time for the latest revelations about the U.S. National Security Agency, What the Nose Knows is now keeping watch over Castlegar, B.C., from its perch along the city’s Sculpturewalk. In this work, Groucho Marx meets the NSA menace, with giant, convex mirrored lenses inside circular red frames both hiding nosy eyes, and reflecting. “I was trying to make a funny comment on governments and corporations spying on us all the time,” says Burnaby-based artist Ron Simmer, who doesn’t actually find the issue funny at all. “It’s like Big Brother all over again.” But this Big Brother, he explains in his artist’s state- ment, is more of an evil clown than a dictator. Simmer, 71, had initially in- stalled the work on Vancouver’s Granville Island, and then at the Peace Arch Park International Sculpture Exhibition at the border crossing. With the origi- nal four-metre high, 680-kilogram work unveiled last weekend in Castlegar – the Sculpture Capital of Canada – Simmer is making a new version for Lake Oswego, a sculpture-friendly suburb of Portland, Ore., with at least one adjust- ment. “I’m trying to get a bigger, more sinister-looking nose,” he says. – Marsha Lederman

SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY Reassessing the ROI on kids’ sports Children whose parents spend more on their athletic endeavours tend to derive less enjoyment and be less motivated

...... KEVIN HELLIKER WALL STREET JOURNAL STAFF ...... hen sports psychologist WTravis Dorsch set about studying the effect of parental spending on young athletes, he expected to find a positive corre- lation. After all, recent research suggests that young athletes benefit from parental support. But his study, just completed, found that greater parental spending is associated with low- er levels of young-athlete enjoy- ment and motivation. “When parental sports spending goes up, it increases the likelihood ei- ther that the child will feel pres- sure or that the parent will exert it,” says Dorsch, a Utah State University professor and former professional football player. The study adds to a small but growing body of research sug- gesting that parents ought to temper their investments in youth athletics. The problem, at root, isn’t financial: It is that big expenditures tend to elevate pa- rental expectations. “The more parents do, the more they expect a return on their invest- ment,” possibly reducing their chances of a favourable out- come, says Daniel Gould, direc- tor of Michigan State University’s Institute for the Study of Youth Sports.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS CANADIENS 3, BRUINS 1 (MONTREAL WINS SERIES 4-3) Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens makes a save on Zdeno Chara of the Bruins during Game 7 in Boston on Wednesday night. PRICE POINTS WINSLOW TOWNSON/USA TODAY SPORTS

FROM PAGE 1 Hockey: A miserable night for Chara as the regular-season champion Bruins ousted

...... Skill helps too. 9 The Habs’ Daniel Brière, who is five-foot-10, has some of that, and he used it to great effect in setting up the opening goal and planting the final dagger on a power-play late in the third, banking a shot off the mammoth defenceman Zdeno Chara’s left skate and past Tuukka Rask. The big Bruin captain had a miserable night, the little Cana- diens did not. Or take David Desharnais: List- ed at five-foot-seven in the Cana- diens’ game program, he grabbed Game 7 of the second-round series with the Boston Bruins by the scruff off the neck in the sec- ond period. On one sequence, Andrei Mar- kov kept a puck alive at the left point in the Boston zone, and Desharnais used his stick and tight turning radius to outwit a pair of Bruins, strip the puck and set in on Rask. The native of Laurier-Station, Que., has a quasi-telepathic un- derstanding with close friend and linemate Max Pacioretty, so he didn’t even really need to look to know where he’d be before slid- ing a hard pass that the latter Canadiens fans at Montreal’s Bell Centre celebrate the team’s third goal against the Boston in a 3-1 victory in Game 7.

FIGURE SKATING Rest assured, Chan sits back and relaxes For now, former world champion and Sochi silver medalist is comfortable away from the grind of training and competition

...... DAVID EBNER VANCOUVER ...... hat Patrick Chan wants to Wdo is go backcountry skiing. And surf. And drive race cars. And golf. “Doing things that a guy wants to do, a 23-year-old guy wants to do,” said the star figure skater, who won two silvers – but fell short of gold – at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. What people want Patrick Chan to do is return to the ice, to get back in the severe grind of train- ing and competitions, to skate and aim for a moment four years away. The lure is tempting, almost addictive. Chan, after the searing pressure of Sochi, knew he had to decompress, get away, sit on a couch. He decided to skip the world championships but watch- ing Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu, who beat Chan for gold in Sochi, win the world title grated.
