He offers this personal anecdote to explain some of the art in his solo exhibition Anthro-Obscene on display at Nickle Galleries. Stimson is, quite literally, a keeper of bees (and other animals) for the purpose of keeping the planet. LCR StaffStimson has created two series of residential school paintings as a way of documenting and exorcizing the traumatic legacy the schools have left on three generations of his family. Stimson attended two different residential schools during his early school years. Having his parents (residential school workers) close by did not offer protection from abuse.

Ontario regulator widens probe of life and health insurance industry after 'concerning' findings
Doctors Seek Higher Fees From Health InsurersAn Ontario regulator is widening a review of the life and health insurance industry after an initial probe found “concerning practices involving the most common way individual life and health insurance policies are sold” in the province. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario said its initial probe found “four main areas of concern” that potentially exposed consumers to harm. “These specific MGAs appear to be involved in a kind of multi-level marketing business-model that we feel raises significant consumer protection concerns in life and health insurance,” he said. FSRA, which supervises insurers, intermediaries and agents that sell life and health insurance, said insurers are legally required to have systems reasonably designed to ensure compliance by their agents. In an emailed statement Thursday, the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association said the industry has been working with regulators including FSRA “to ensure consumers are treated fairly” and will “carefully review” the latest findings.

'Gangsta's Paradise' rapper Coolio dies at age 59
LOS ANGELES — Coolio, the rapper who was among hip-hop's biggest names of the 1990s with hits including “Gangsta's Paradise” and “Fantastic Voyage,” died Wednesday at age 59, his manager said. Coolio won a Grammy for best solo rap performance for “Gangsta's Paradise,” the 1995 hit from the soundtrack of the Michelle Pfeiffer film “Dangerous Minds” that sampled Stevie Wonder's 1976 song “Pastime Paradise" and was played constantly on MTV. A year later, “Gangsta's Paradise” would become a No. Coolio had said in an interview at the time it was released that he wasn’t cool with Yankovic’s 1996 “Gangsta’s Paradise” parody, “Amish Paradise.” But the two later made peace. The rapper would never again have a song nearly as big as “Gangsta's Paradise,” but had subsequent hits with 1996's “1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New)” (1996), and 1997's “C U When U Get There."
