US actress, an exrefugee, sets out to help Syrian migrants
LOS ANGELES - Milana Vayntrub plays giddy and goofy roles, but she was fidgety and troubled as she tried to relax on a recent vacation in Greece. The actress best known for her role as the chirpy, blueshirted “Lily” in a popular series of AT&T commercials was a toddler when her parents fled Uzbekistan as refugees in 1989. How was she supposed to just sit on the beach, she wondered, when migrants fleeing Syria were coming ashore a few miles
away? “It felt a little ridiculous that I could do something but would choose not to,” she said. Vayntrub, 29, deliberately missed her flight home so she could wrap refugee babies in blankets and make sandwiches for the new arrivals. Later, back in Los Angeles, she founded CantDoNothing.org, a nonprofit with a simple mission: Encourage people around the planet to do something — anything — to help. “I’m asking everyone to find simple ways to share your time, your money, your voice to make a difference. Helping can be a lot of things,” Vayntrub told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Her initiative, shared under the hashtag #CantDoNothing, has unleashed a buzz on social media, with people from around the planet sharing photos and videos of their acts of kindness and solidarity. It’s also highlighted Vayntrub’s own harrowing journey from oppression to opportunity nearly three decades ago, and her emergence as a sort of accidental activist. Although she’s most recognizable for her advertising work as a quirky AT&T salesperson, she’s gained a following for comedy films including “Junk” and “L!fe Happens,” as well as Netflix’s “Love,” HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” Yahoo’s “Other Space,” and her YouTube channel, “LivePrudeGirls.” She’s had to adapt her stand-up routine, though, since returning from Greece. “All my life kvetches sounded so petty,” she said. “Here, what’s going on with the refugees doesn’t really pop up in my feed. It’s not in my daily life. But when you travel, you see it.” Using her iPhone, Vayntrub made a short video about her vacation-turned-mission. It shows dozens of bright orange life jackets littering the beaches of the Greek island of Lesbos, where refugees from Syria continue to make the perilous sea crossing to reach Europe. (ap)

Officials encouraged by how much of Canada city spared by wildfire
FORT MCMURRAY - Canadian officials who got their first glimpse on Monday of the oil sands boomtown of Fort McMurray since a wildfire erupted said they were encouraged by how much of it escaped destruction, estimating almost 90 percent of its buildings were saved. But a tour of the fire-ravaged city also revealed scenes of utter devastation, with blocks of homes reduced to blackened foundations, front steps and metal barbecues. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said 2,400 structures had burned within the city while almost 25,000 were saved. The fire that has ravaged some 204,000 hectares (504,000 acres) of the western Canadian province moved far enough from the evacuated town of 88,000 people to allow an official delegation led by the Notley to visit. “We were really encouraged today to see the extent of residential communities that were saved,” Notley said. “That of course doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be some really heartbreaking images for some people to see when they come back.” Reporters on the tour viewed the charred rubble of the community’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, where some 80 percent of the homes had been burned to the ground and the wreckage of blackened and melted cars remained on roads. Notley said it was not safe for residents to enter the city unescorted, with parts still smoldering and large areas without power,

water and gas. She said repair crews will have weeks of work ahead of them. Fire Chief Darby Allen told reporters that 85 percent of the buildings in Fort McMurray had survived the blaze, offering a slightly lower estimate than Notley. All schools except one that had been under construction were intact. Notley credited the efforts of firefighters who battled the outof-control blaze for days. The assessment by officials came a few hours after insurance experts revised sharply downward their estimates of the cost of damage from the blaze, which began on May 1. Canada’s largest property and casualty insurer Intact Financial Corp expects to suffer losses ranging from C$130 million to C$160 million ($100 million-$123 million) from the wildfire.

Tabanan threatened by crisis of water supply
TABANAN - Though having a large number of springs, the needs of the Tabanan community for water is quite high. As an agricultural area, it requires a lot of water. But on the other hand, people also need clean water, while the springs in
Tabanan tend to decrease and the discharge turns smaller. Without better water management, in the next five years Tabanan is feared to be experiencing a crisis of raw water availability. Director of the Municipality Waterworks (PDAM) of Tabanan, Ida Bagus
Oka Sedana, accompanied by the Division Head of Customer Service Relations I.B. Murjana said that conditions of the raw water supply will become a problem in the next five years because the water sources existing today decrease in terms of quality and quantity. Moreover, the network
system grows very rapidly, while the capability of the PDAM Tabanan is very limited, including the licensing mechanism is long enough. Water... Continued on page 2
