Generosity packs the bus Five-year-old Presley Simpson, right, and her eight-year-old brother Parker add food and toys to the donations at B.C. Transit’s fifth annual Stuff the Bus in the Safeway parking lot at Tillicum Centre on Saturday. The event brought in 2,800 pounds of food and $3,000 worth of toys and clothing for the Mustard Seed food bank. It also earned nearly $1,000 for the 1UP, the Single Parent Resource Centre.

Accused priest testifies in own defence Warning: The following story contains graphic testimony of a sexual nature that could be upsetting to some readers.
Kyle Slavin News staff
Phillip Jacobs took the stand in his own defence Monday afternoon by explaining how, when he was a young priest in Columbus, Ohio, he took teenage boys on overnight trips, intent on teaching them how to masturbate. “The goal was for the person to become normal with this physiological act under my direction,” Jacobs, 63, told Justice J. Miriam Gropper

during questioning by his defence lawyer Chris Considine. “I would ask them what they know about their bodies ... whether they were curious ... eventually, if I could get some sense of curiosity, I would ask ‘How much do you trust me? Can I explain it?’” Jacobs said there were at least three, maybe more, teenage boys he took on these 18-hour “packages,” that included golf, swimming, fishing, pool, dinner and TV in the mid-1970s. Eventually the Catholic Diocese of Columbus received complaints regarding these trips, and the church sent Jacobs to the Institute of Living in Hartford, Conn., where he underwent a ninemonth counselling program.
In addition to regular therapy there, Jacobs told the court about sitting in on group therapy sessions involving sexual assault victims. “There was clearly some part of me that knew (my) actions … had been harmful, but there was another part of me that was seeking to rationalize it,” Jacobs said. He told the court how it was during these “painful” sessions that he realized the gravity of what he’d done. “You can’t go back and you can’t undo (what you’ve done,)” Jacobs said, wiping tears from his eyes.
