OTTAWA — Just watch him.

Ready or not, a Trudeau is returning to 24 Sussex Drive, completing the first father-son dynasty in Canada’s federal government history.

Justin Trudeau, 43, will become Canada’s next prime minister after his party steamrolled to a stunning majority victory Monday night following the longest and most expensive general election in modern times.

The Liberal party, which was en route to claiming more than 180 seats in newly expanded 338-seat House of Commons, becomes the first ever to vault directly from third party status to government.

And Trudeau returns to his childhood home at 24 Sussex Drive, where he was the firstborn of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who served as prime minister for almost 16 years before retiring in 1984.

Trudeau, who became Liberal leader in 2013, faced more than two years of Conservative attack ads before defeating Harper, including a barrage of “just not ready” ads that were so ubiquitous that school-age children could recite them.

“In this campaign, Mr. Trudeau made ambitious commitments to Canadians and Canadians will have high expectations for their next Parliament.”

Tom Mulcair, NDP leader

During the October crisis of 1970, Pierre Trudeau famously told an enquiring reporter “Just watch me,” when asked how far he would go in limiting civil liberties to combat separatist terrorists. The elder Trudeau went on to shape much of the modern Canadian state that Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 in part to re-make.

With the magnitude of the Conservative party loss still sinking in, the Conservative leader — who called the extraordinarily long, 78-day election on Aug. 2 after almost 10 years in power — stepped down Monday night as party leader.

And NDP Leader Tom Mulcair,

who’d aspired to lead Canada’s first NDP federal government, instead lost the party’s hard-won 2011 grip on official Opposition status, but managed to hold on to his Montreal seat despite a tough Liberal challenge.

Green Leader Elizabeth May was also re-elected on Vancouver Island.

The New Democrats were decimated, dropping below 40 seats after entering the election with 95. Mulcair had a tough fight just hanging on to his own Montreal seat.

The campaign, which began on a sweltering August long weekend with the country firmly Conservative blue, ended under a threat of October frost and a Liberal red tide.

The shocking Liberal onslaught opened on the East Coast, where Liberals were on track for a remarkable sweep of all 32 Atlantic Canada seats, before rolling into Quebec and Ontario and Manitoba.

With the polls simultaneously closing from the Quebec-New Brunswick border all the way to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the scale of the Liberal charge became clear as the ballot counting commenced: The Liberals had more than 40 per cent of the popular vote and

were knocking off Conservative and NDP heavyweights across the country.

Trudeau romped to victory in his gritty Montreal riding of Papineau as the Liberals restored their Quebec fortunes to help anchor the surprising victory.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Immigration Minister Chris Alexander, Fisheries Minister Gail Shea, Veterans Minister Julian Fantino and Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt were among the Conservative cabinet ministers rejected by voters.

NDP stars including deputy leader Megan Leslie and foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar also fell to Liberal challengers. Olivia Chow — her late husband, Jack Layton, led the NDP’s so-called “orange crush” in 2011 — succumbed to Liberal juggernaut Adam Vaughan in downtown Toronto.

“I congratulated Mr. Trudeau on his exceptional achievement both for him and his party,” Mulcair said in a concession speech in Montreal.

“In this campaign, Mr. Trudeau made ambitious commitments to Canadians and Canadians will have high expectations for their next Parliament.”

Malcolmson heads to Ottawa; party dominant on Vancouver Island

N

DP candidate Sheila Malcolmson triumphantly took the stage Monday night after capturing the new riding of Nanaimo-Ladysmith.

It was a sweet victory amidst a string of bitter defeats for New Democrats across the country. The party of Tommy Douglas and Jack Layton saw support in their Quebec stronghold erode and a red tide swept across the country. However, Spencer there was solace Anderson on Vancouver Reporting Island for the NDP, as the party captured all but one of seven seats.

Malcolmson warded off a strong challenge from Green candidate and documentary filmmaker Paul Manly and local publisher Mark MacDonald, who stood for the Conservatives. Local real estate agent Tim Tessier, representing the Liberals, surprised many by placing second as votes continued to be tallied.

Malcolmson arrived at Beban Park Social Centre to cheers and chants of ‘Sheila, Sheila’ from supporters was introduced by NDP MLA Leonard Krog.

“Here in Nanaimo-Ladysmith, it has been one wild ride,” Krog said to applause. “But the end of the journey is where we wanted it to finish.”

Malcolmson entered the race as the sole candidate with experience in local government. The former Islands Trust chairwoman thanked her supporters and volunteers.

“You voted for a better, more inclusive Canada, and I will stand with you and work for you for those values every day,” she said.

Earlier in the night, supporters grazed on snacks and watched TV monitors as results poured in from back east. It soon became apparent the Liberals were on track for a substantial national win.

“Better them than Harper,” one supporter said.

Despite national losses for the NDP, the mood remained chipper as Malcolmson slowly built up a lead over her rivals.

“This is what we expected; the only real surprise for me is that the we expected the biggest opposition would come from the Conservatives,” said NDP supporter Gail Adrienne. Strong Liberal support across the country eroded the threat from the Conservatives locally, she added.

Malcolmson also said her campaign had been concerned about

strong Conservative support in the new riding.

“So we were never complacent about the loyalty and the commitment of the Conservative base here and I’m really honoured by the support that we’ve had from the progressive movement to overcome that,” Malcolmson said.

“We certainly recognized that compared to the 2011 election, we were gonna have more of a challenge around vote splitting, and that to me points so much that our voting system needs to change,”

said Malcolmson, when asked if she was concerned about the prospect of vote splitting in the riding.

Malcolmson tempered her triumph with an acknowledgement of her party’s losses.

CANADA VOTES! NANAIMO-LADYSMITH

Mixed emotions for Liberal backers Tessier thrilled with leader Trudeau capturing power nationally; disappointed with second-place slot riding, over a dinner party with friends last winter.

When he accepted the challenge, “I got involved to win,” but he says even though he’s disappointed for not winning, the second-place showing suggests his team has made a difference in a riding that hasn’t elected a Liberal in decades.

“We came in with a very experienced team and made a big difference,” Tessier said.

“I will feel better (Wednesday), when we realize the magnitude of this.”

Getting there was all the more impressive given that the Liberal team was working with an inexperienced team, with a core workforce of about 100 volunteers.

The success of the local campaign he attributes to Trudeau’s campaign, which he said was won solely on merit.

And as Trudeau’s campaign gathered steam, so too did Tessier’s.

“Mr. Trudeau made difference.”

As to his opponent: “I give the utmost respect for Sheila – she’ll do a good job for Nanaimo-Ladysmith.”

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

It was an evening of elation mixed with disappointment for Nanaimo Liberals.

While they watched their party assume power nationally under Justin Trudeau’s leadership, Liberals locally saw victory go to NDP candidate Sheila Malcolmson, rather than the Nanaimo candidate.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Tim Tessier, the Liberal candidate for Nanaimo-Ladysmith, after delivering his concession speech to supporters and volunteers at Mon Petit Choux Cafe in downtown Nanaimo.

Malcolmson was declared the victor by 9 a.m., but the atmosphere was festive, even though Malcolmson had a 32-per cent advantage over Tessier, based on votes counted at 70 of 245 polls.

Moments earlier Cheryl Pedley, a scrutineer at the Wellington polling station, had arrived at the wrap-up party, breathless, with news of a narrow, single-vote victory by Mark MacDonald’s Conservatives over the Liberals at the Wellington polling station.

“I’ve got to tell you, my heart was pounding,” said the longtime Liberal supporter.

MacDonald received 516 votes to Tessier’s 515, and “it’s in prime NDP territory,” Pedley said.

“I so wanted two more votes.”

But she said the story illustrates how local Liberals have changed the

political landscape in Nanaimo.

“I’m really proud of the party,” Tessier said. His biggest regret was missing out on being part of the Liberal sweep that swept across the country Monday night.

It marked the resurrection of

Trudeau mania nearly 50 years after Justin’s father, Pierre Elliot launched a Liberal era that lasted from the late 1960s into the early 1980s.

For the younger Liberal’s victory, Tessier said he was “euphoric, very happy and very humbled as far as the

national party winning a majority.”

That, he said, means sweeping change for Canadians.

“The world changed today, with the election of Justin Trudeau.”

Conservative candidate thanks supporters for help “Trudeau said he was going to raise taxes and was going to go after pension funds to help fund infrastructure projects.”

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Conservative candidate Mark MacDonald warned of possible tough times ahead for Nanaimo-Ladysmith after he lost the riding to NDP Sheila Malcomson Monday night.

MacDonald thanked his supporters for their help during the long campaign, and told them to “get ready to pay more taxes” with Justin Trudeau elected as the country’s new prime minister.

“Trudeau said he was going to raise taxes and was going to go after pension finds to help fund infrastructure projects,” MacDonald said.

“He has to pay for the promises he made during the campaign from somewhere.”

MacDonald also said the future of the foot-passenger ferry between Nanaimo and Vancouver, which the Conservatives promised to help fund if re-elected, is now in doubt with Malcolmson winning the riding.

“I feel bad for Nanaimo now that we have an NDP member who will sit in opposition,” he said.

Mark MacDonald, Conservative

“We used to have a (Conservative) member in the north of Nanaimo who was instrumental in helping us secure funding for the airport and other projects, but we we don’t have

that anymore. I’m not feeling any bitterness, but we need government help here.”

MacDonald said that he and his team tried their best to win

Nanaimo-Ladysmith, but the campaign in the riding was “caught up in national issues.”

He said he was told when he accepted the Conservative’s nomination to run in the riding that 85 per cent of the campaign’s success would be based on leadership at the national level.

“The numbers looked good for us I thought we had it, but it is what it is,” he said.

“Stephen Harper did a great job as prime minister and we all benefited as Canadians. It was an honour to

run in the election as part of Harper’s team and I believe that he will go down in history as one the best prime ministers that this country had ever had.”

But MacDonald said there was a lot of anti-Harper sentiment in the riding. As for his political future, MacDonald said he doesn’t intend to run in any more elections, whether they be municipal, provincial or federal.

He said there a lot of “good people” in the region that can be tapped to put their names forward for elections in the future.

“I gave it all I had for a year now and wore out four pairs of shoes going door-to-door on the campaign trail,” he said. “My team and I couldn’t have worked harder and I wouldn’t do anything differently.

While I had hoped to go to Ottawa, my wife and I have our (business) papers and we have expansion plans so I intend to focus on that.”

CANADA VOTES! COURTENAY-ALBERNI

Orange crush ends Duncan era on north Island BLACK PRESS

He came from the west and stood above the rest.

Gord Johns of Tofino scored a resounding victory Monday night in the federal election, spelling the end of the John Duncan era in North Island.

The long-time Conservative MP failed to retain his seat in Ottawa, falling in the new Courtenay-Alberni riding to the NDP’s Johns.

With 150 of 272 polls reporting at press time, Johns had 38.6 per cent of the vote to runner-up Duncan’s 27.3.

“We fought hard and got our message out,” Johns said to a happy crowd at the Quality Inn Bayside in Parksville. “We had more than 300 volunteers, people from across political lines. I want to thank my family for supporting me.

“It was a hard campaign. John Duncan served Vancouver Island for two decades. Glenn Sollitt ran a hard campaign and Carrie Powell-Davidson came a long way.

“We won this race because we had an incredible campaign team — there were a a lot of people who didn’t sleep. Tonight let’s enjoy our victory, tomorrow let’s get to work.”

Following a lengthy political career spanning nearly two decades as the Conservative MP of the old Vancouver Island North riding, Duncan conceded in a speech to his supporters in Courtenay.

“Obviously it’s a sad night for a lot of my friends, my colleagues. This was not the result I was anticipating at all,” he noted.

Duncan said he is most disappointed in watching the other Conservative candidates he was mentoring on Vancouver Island fail to take a seat.

Six of seven Vancouver Island ridings went NDP, while the seventh went Green.

“It’s kind of tough … it’s kind of tough, yes. I know that everyone worked as hard they could and I actually thought we had a good message.”

He admitted the national campaign dictated voters.

“There’s no way around it. That’s

what happens. And obviously on this occasion, that’s what happened big time.”

Appointed in 2010 as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, Duncan said his most proud moment came in the appointment, particularly in nation building.

He added he never stopped caring and working for the community and the greater Island.

He said he will spend the next few days clearing out his three offices and preparing for life out of the public eye.

“All good things do come to an end at some point.”

With a Liberal majority government predicted by most news outlets by 8 p.m. A party needs 170 seats for a majority.

When parliament was dissolved

for this election, the Conservatives had 159 seats, the NDP 95 and the Liberals 36.

As of 9:30 p.m. Monday, the Liberals were elected or leading in 1845 ridings, the Conservatives 102 and the NDP in 41.

Local Liberal candidate Powell-Davidson offered her congratulations to Johns and said she had no regrets about her campaign.

“We’re a little disappointed in not getting this riding but we’re absolutely thrilled with the way it went nationally, so we’ll be celebrating regardless,” Powell-Davidson said Monday night.

“My team and I worked our tail feathers off for the last year, I’m really satisfied with the job we did and the way we built the presence of the party in this riding.”

Green Party pleased with vote increase from seven to 20 per cent JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

It was a night of mixed emotions at the Green Party campaign wrapup party at the Nanaimo Entertainment Centre.

There were cheers at the announcement that Green Party leader Elizabeth had been re-elected, and further elation at what local Green candidate Paul Manley described as “the end of the Harper era.”

For a campaign that hit the ground running early, and hard, coming in fourth place with approximately 20 per cent of the vote was a disappointment for many, but the effort also represented a success, said Manley’s campaign manager Ilan Goldenblatt.

“I feel proud of what we’ve done.

We’ve come from seven per cent in the last election and from a place where people totally ridiculed us and thought that we could do nothing and pretty much tripled the support we had last time,” said Goldenblatt.

“Beyond what the numbers say on the screen is the fact that we had over 400 volunteers who have put energy into this campaign, we’ve put out over 2,200 lawn signs, we raised nearly $110,000, so in several real-world metrics we’ve smashed

With one seat federally, there is some uncertainty about where this election leaves the future of the party, but the local Greens say they were the sole party that did not resort to a campaign of fear.

“What I know about this riding is that there are so many people who think Green, who are lined up with our values and principles.

“A lot of what we confronted this whole campaign was fear and divisive campaigning. And when that’s the dominant narrative, it’s hard to keep to the high road but that’s what we did.”

It is too early to say what his next political move will be, said Manly, the son of former NDP MP Jim Manly.

However the community advocate, political activist and filmmaker said there is no possibility he will retire from public life any time soon.

“I stand up for the community, I stand up for the things that I believe in, the work that I do is not necessarily about trying to make a living, it’s about expressing what I believe we need to do as a community to move forward and make sure my children and grandchildren have the same opportunities I have,” he said.

Nanaimo man gets 48 months in jail DAILY NEWS

A Nanaimo man charged on multiple break and enters has been sentenced to 48 months in prison, minus time served.

Braiden Robert Rathy, 26, pleaded guilty to 49 counts of break and enter in court Monday afternoon.

The total sentence Rathy will serve is 45 months, once the time he spent in custody prior to sentencing was taken into account.

Arrests relating to Rathy’s charges followed search warrants executed

by Nanaimo RCMP on two properties in Cedar on Aug. 29. Investigators seized 150 exhibits including cash, electronics, passports and jewelry.

Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const.

Gary O’Brien said the majority of the stolen valuables have been returned to their rightful owners.

He said the police investigation was extensive and required efforts from all departments of the police force.

“Let’s just say it was a priority in the office, given the extent of break and enters,” O’Brien said. “Our street crimes unit had this as priority number one.”

O’Brien said most of the offences took place within a two to threemonth window in various parts of the city. He called the crime spree “relatively unprecedented” in the city.Rathy was also handed a 10-year firearms prohibition and was ordered to pay $9,373.88 in restitution, according to the Nanaimo court registry.

CANADA VOTES! COWICHAN-MALAHAT-LANGFORD

NDP carries the day from Duncan to Langford BLACK PRESS

Even as federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair made a subdued speech to supporters in Quebec, local NDP candidate Alistair MacGregor was being declared the winner of the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding, with a healthy lead over the other four candidates.

Though his party’s seats in Ottawa were reduced substantially, and nationally the NDP’s results had to be seen as a disappointment, MacGregor was upbeat and excited by his win and the prospect of heading to Ottawa.

“The people of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford have sent a clear message tonight,” MacGregor said.

“You voted for change! Rejecting the politics of fear and division, you voted for a better and more inclusive Canada. And that was a good thing.”

He went on to assure everyone, even those who had supported other candidates that he was “going to fight for those values every single day.”

He thanked his team, “especially for keeping going when we were so tired,

after an 11-week campaign.”

“I am deeply humbled by the trust you have placed in me tonight. I will work every single day with every ounce of energy I have to keep on earning that trust. It’s a very sacred thing,” he said.

For much of the night second place swung between Liberal candidate

Luke Krayenhoff, whose party swept to a majority government in Ottawa, and Conservative candidate Martin Barker, who saw his party pushed from power.

“There were a few Conservative ships dashed upon Liberal shores tonight, and ours was one of them,” said Barker at his headquarters in

Duncan where a small crowd had gathered to watch the results roll in.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper had said before voting day that should his party lose he would step down as party leader. The CBC reported that Conservative Party of Canada president John Walsh released a short statement saying Harper has instructed him to reach out to the elected caucus with the goal of naming an interim leader, though Harper himself made no immediate announcement about his future Monday night.

“Congratulations to Justin Trudeau,” Barker said. “They ran a good campaign and the people have spoken.”

“We really did well. I believe it was this red tsunami that washed over us.

We never foresaw our Conservative support going so thoroughly to the Liberals.”

Barker said he was also surprised by the local results.

“The result here surprised me, not in the NDP victory, but in the numbers themselves. The Liberal tide that washed over Canada also washed over Cowichan-Malahat-Langford.”

He took the time to acknowledge all of his competitors for the local seat.

“My heart goes out to Luke, Fran and the other Alastair, [Haythornthwaite] because I know what goes into it.”

Krayenhoff, who came into the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford race at the last moment following the resignation of Maria Manna, gave kudos to winner MacGregor of the NDP. Krayenhoff noted, however, the Liberals made an impact in a short time.

“The Liberals have made a strong showing in this riding,” he said.

“We’ve got everything to be proud of.”

Of his party’s national accomplishment, Krayenhoff added, “We had no idea it would be such a strong success. We’re just over the moon.”

While the pre-election polls hinted at the Liberals forming at least a minority government, he downplayed their importance.

Among the changes he said the Liberals plan on implementing is a change from the first-past-the-post system that essentially gives Western voters little chance on effecting the overall result.

CANADA VOTES! SAANICH-GULF ISLANDS

Debate, vote splitting sank Greens, says May TRAVIS PATERSON SAANICH NEWS

Elizabeth May started the election campaign as the Green Party’s sole flag bearer in Ottawa.

She finished it in the same place.

It wasn’t close as May held on to her seat in Saanich-Gulf Islands last night, garnering 55.3 per cent of the vote with 100 of 240 polls reporting.

She said she was the first leader to call new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,and expressed her joy that Stephen Harper is not PM anymore.

“I asked Justin when can I see (him), we need to talk about the climate treaty . . . in Paris.”

She pointed to the fact she didn’t take part in the leadership debate, and the strategic voting.

“When the election was called I was going to be in the national English language TV debate,” she said.

Unfortunately, between Harper and Mulcair it was cancelled.

“That was a key part of our campaign strategy. When I was in the national televised debates in 2008 that’s when our popular vote soared.

“In this context, with great candidates, if we had had an English language national television debate we would have seen news coverage all campaign on four parties. Instead we kept seeing three parties. That takes a toll on great campaigns.

“That and people saying even if you love the Green party you can’t vote green, it takes its toll.

“Strategic voting was the single

main factor (working against Green), particularly in B.C. and also in Guelph.

“As my daughter said, [strategic voting] had ‘truthiness’ about it. I

had people in my own riding I had to talk out of voting for another party because they somehow that voting for me would help Harper.

“I sympathize with where their fear

was coming from. NDP fed it hard on Vancouver Island that you had to vote NDP to stop Harper, and you can see that the NDP was not the party to stop Harper.

“I know there’s a huge base of voters in B.C. that wanted to vote Green and told me they couldn’t, but they all said, next time, once Harper’s gone, next time.

GREATER VICTORIA

NDP carries day in Victoria and Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA — The momentum of the Green Party’s win in the Saanich-Gulf Islands couldn’t spread into Victoria.

NDP incumbent Murray Rankin managed to hang on for another term, taking an early lead as the results started rolling in Monday night.

By the time 50 of the 253 polls were reporting, Rankin had claimed 9,612 votes and Roberts had 6,722. That number grew to 15,525 votes for Rankin and 11,343 votes for Roberts when 100 polls were reporting. At press time, Rankin had 18,978 votes and Roberts had 14,663.

As the numbers continued to roll in, Rankin said he was delighted with the results and wasn’t surprised that Canadians had rejected Stephen Harper since that’s what he’s heard door-knocking in his riding.

In the end, the Liberals claimed a majority government, with the Conservatives forming the official opposition. The NDP, however, took several losses.

“People voted massively for change.

I guess in Victoria I’m proud that I was the vehicle for that change,” said Rankin, who was disappointed with the NDP’s overall results.

“Obviously I was hoping for a different result for the NDP, but I am delighted that people have decided that it’s time for getting rid of Stephen Harper’s vision of Canada.”

First elected in 2012 during a byelection, Rankin is one of Canada’s top lawyers and has been a vocal critic of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. He has served as the NDP’s health critic, critic for pensions and for national revenue, and led the NDP’s national campaign for CPP expansion.

During his next term, Rankin said he wants to take action for the citizens of Victoria on key issues such as a child care, climate change and a stable medical system.

“Things of that sort are really critical in this community and elsewhere. I’m going to keep fighting for those things,” he said, adding the work of taking down 2,000 election signs has now begun. After a few days

off, he plans to head back to Ottawa.

“I believe that people should be very proud of what Tom Mulcair and the NDP have contributed to the last parliament. I hope we can continue to play a strong role in the next parliament as well.”

Over at the Victoria Conference Centre, the results weren’t exactly what Roberts was hoping for.

Roberts believes the Green Party did change the conversation in the campaign and hopes the new Liberal government will progress on some of the issues the party brought to light.

Without more Green Party members in parliament, however, Roberts said it’s hard to push the environmental agenda and proportional representation — things Victorians wanted.

“The Green element is going to be missing. Elizabeth (May) is an amazing champion. She needed some help,” she said. “I’m not sorry I did this. I actually believe that we have changed the conversation in the country and here on the Island.”

The Victoria riding has a population of 110,942, with 92,574 electors on the list. Conservative candidate

John Rizzuti finished a distant third with 5,342 votes at press time.

— ESQUIMALT-SAANICH-SOOKE

After a neck-in-neck race, NDP incumbent Randall Garrison has been re-elected to represent residents in the riding of Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke.

Garrison was declared the winner after receiving more than 13,000 votes — the most he’s ever received — Tuesday night to serve the newly formed riding.

But the win was bittersweet for the NDPer, admitting he hoped the party would win more votes across the country.

“I’m feeling great about this, but as I said it’s a bittersweet moment.

We’ve done very well on Vancouver Island but I wish we had done better across the country. But we have removed the Stephen Harper government and we can get back to work making a better Canada,” said Garrison from his election party at the Esquimalt Royal Legion.

It was a tight race in the evening as Liberal candidate David Merner held

an early lead. At one point, Merner came within 50 votes of overtaking Garrison. But Garrison, who was the MP for the former Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca riding, held on — pulling ahead with more than 35 per cent of the vote.

Merner was disappointed with the loss, but said a Liberal majority is what he had hoped for.

“There’s a huge red wave that is coming across the country, so everybody is really excited. The fact that we didn’t win in this riding is a small part of a much bigger picture,” he said.

Now, Garrison will set his sights on fulfilling some unfinished businesses in parliament, including bringing ship building jobs to the riding.

“They were promised by the Conservatives, they were two years late.

I want to make sure by next year we have people working on those ships,” Garrison said.

At press time, Conservative candidate Shari Lukens had 17 per cent of votes, followed by Green Party candidate Frances Litman with 20 per cent.

NORTH ISLAND-POWELL RIVER

Island’s orange wave started at the north end ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The majority of voters in North Island-Powell River swam against the Liberal tide flooding the rest of the country and elected NDP candidate Rachel Blaney as their Member of Parliament tonight.

With 41.6 per cent of the vote – 16,348 votes – as of 10:12 p.m., Blaney delivered a victory speech at the Campbell River Labour Centre to a room of supporters happy with a North Island-Powell River victory, ecstatic that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party has been shown the door but subdued about the NDP collapse nationally.

“So, what a hard night of mixed emotions,” Blaney said. “You know, I am so excited. I am so excited to work hard for North Island-Powell River. I am so excited that this riding

chose positive change. I am so happy.

“And I am so incredibly proud of Tom Mulcair who has lead us in tremendous ways and who has shown himself to be an amazing leader. And I am so sorry that there was a mistake in the change choice. That’s just how I’m going to see it.”

Blaney was referring to the assessment that Canadian voters wanted change from the Harper Conservatives and decided that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party was the vehicle to provide that change.

She would, obviously, have preferred that voters go with the NDP as the engine of change in Canadian politics.

Nationally, the Liberals were leading or elected in 184 seats, the Conservatives 102 seats, the NDP 41, the Bloc Quebecois 10 and the Green Party 1. The results swept the Liber-

als into a majority government and swept the NDP out of the opposition, relegating the Conservatives to that role.

The Liberal wave began in Atlantic Canada and swept across the nation with islands of Conservative, NDP and Bloc Quebecois victories here and there in central Canada, a Conservative wall in the southern prairies, Alberta and the Interior of B.C. before washing over a NDP strip on the far west coast, including Vancouver Island.

Blaney will be joined on the NDP side of the house by Gord Johns who defeated long time Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan who chose to run in the newly-formed Courtenay-Alberni riding which was created along with North Island-Powell River.

Blaney thanked her family and election team profusely and paid tribute

to her competitors, Conservative Laura Smith, Liberal Peter Schwarzhoff and Green candidate Brenda Sayers.

Blaney said she and her team will be out in Ottawa fighting to make sure the Liberals “do their job.”

“We’re going to fight hard for things like affordable child care,” she said. “We are going to fight hard for appropriate health care.

“We know what our communities need and I will be out there fighting for that. We are also going to be out fighting for good jobs, especially in communities like ours that have been left behind.”

The numbers (as of 10:12 p.m.): Rachel Blaney, NDP – 41.6 % Laura Smith, Conservative – 25 % Peter Schwarzhoff, Liberal – 24.6 % Brenda Sayers, Green – 8.8%

Rachel Blaney is given a congratulatory hug by North Island MLA Claire Trevena. [ALISTAIR TAYLOR]

OUR VIEW

For all of those elected, the hard work is just beginning

S

tephen Harper said it, and his campaign organizers tried very hard to reinforce the idea this election was not about him.

In the end it was.

For many reasons, Canadians wanted change at the top. On Monday night, they got it.

When the Conservative Party of Canada shot to prominence, finally gaining a majority in 2011, they did so promising change after years of scandal under the Chretien Liberal regime. Harper promised Canadians not only that he would clean up Ottawa, but provide transparency and accountability.

We got anything but and voters have expressed their anger at being so egregiously betrayed. There’s Mike Duffy, the unprecedented concentration of power in the Prime Min-

As the too-long campaign unfolded, there was a growing sense that Harper does not always represent traditional Canadian values. ister’s Office, Canada’s hard-earned international reputation is in tatters and despite many promises there has been no shift in deficit spending.

Harper himself, everyone agrees, is a skilled politician — perhaps too skilled. His political savvy, whether correct or not, has been interpreted

by Canadians as seeking more power over the good of Canada and what is best for Canadians.

The armour in which he and the CPC clad itself ended up being its fatal flaw.

Their ideology became cumbersome and politics out of touch — some might say arrogant.

Nanaimo, in the new formation of the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding, has elected New Democrat Sheila Malcolmson to go to Ottawa.

No surprise there, since polls have consistently had her as the front-runner over fellow candidates Mark MacDonald of the Tories, Paul Manly of the Green Party and Tim Tessier of the Liberals.

Whether mid-Island residents were voting against Harper and the CPC or for the NDP is always good fodder for debate, but given the breakdown of votes in the old Nanaimo-Alberni riding we knew that votes in the

south — which now makes up most of the new riding — were predominantly NDP, so Malcolmson should feel good about her mandate.

Regardless, for the MP-elect, the work is just beginning. The interests of her new constituents are not a few: log export, a foot ferry for Nanaimo, child poverty and First Nations treaty negotiations are just a few matters she must bring to Parliament. Voters in the riding are comfortable with an opposition MP. In the end, the outcome should not come as a giant surprise. As the too-long campaign unfolded, there was a growing sense that Harper does not always represent traditional Canadian values of courtesy, inclusiveness and caring.

So, no matter how much Harper insisted it was not about him and

CPC strategists tried to deflect voters away from the perception that he has a controlling and inflexible nature, Canadians were not convinced.

There will now be serious soul searching in the Conservative Party.

New Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau (good hair and all) – with his passionate defence of his father, his sticking up for journalism and overall sense of approachability — offered a perception of warmth that was absent from the other leaders.

How those qualities translate into on-the-job performance remain to be seen. But Canadians spoke loudly in the best way possible — with their votes. » We want to hear from you.

» YOUR LETTERS // EMAIL: YOURLETTERS@NANAIMODAILYNEWS.COM Parents need to talk to their kids about sex Re: ‘Porn in the Classroom’ (Daily News, Oct. 15) Your headline, “Sex Talk,” misinterprets what the article is about.

Porn isn’t just about sex, it is about violence, sexual abuse, child abuse, violation of the human spirit and can end in porn addiction. This can lead to prostitution and human trafficking as it causes the viewer to be desensitized.

With over 420 million porn sites on the Internet, porn is just a click away when your child uses the Internet.

Pornography is addictive.

Children as young as eight and nine are reported to be addicted to pornography.

Pornography releases dopamine in the brain, which rewires the brain and acts the same in your brain as a drug addiction.

In May 2004, the government of Canada launched the National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet and partnered with cybertip.ca, whose role is to operate the national tip line and conduct public awareness and education. In February 2009, the government announced the renewal of the Strategy.

Parents need to have the conversation with their children about pornography and how it can affect them.

Be aware of what your children are watching on the Internet.

Small business creates most jobs in economy For the better part of the last century we predominantly had liberal governments in this country. They didn’t achieve this by being politically stupid.

As you listen to the nuances of Justin Trudeau’s promises which are

carefully crafted targeting an audience the federal Liberal party wants on side, it also targets the public service.

Liberals if nothing else are consummate politicians, especially politicians from Québec. The training in that province teaches them how to play the game with finesse.

We’ve seen conservative MPs in Ottawa become Bloc premiers of Québec we’ve seen conservative MPs become liberal premiers of Québec. These people are some of the smoothest and most versatile politicians this country’s ever seen.

We already know from studies done that the public service on average when you factor in benefits and pensions are substantially ahead of the private sector. The most obscene part of this picture is resultant state of the retiring small business sector which predominantly created much of the employment that fed our economy is disadvantaged upon retirement.

This is about jobs and readjusting

our focus on public policy that improves the fiscal independence and self-sufficiency of Canadians which Stephen Harper has done with some small steps, we didn’t get ourselves into this pickle overnight either.

Casey Timmermans Nanaimo

We can’t allow others to destroy our liberty It saddens me to read some of the comments about Stephen Harper. He may not have done everything right (who has!) but our country is still the best in the world. I think political correctness has run amok when our judges decide it’s OK to have your face covered to become a citizen or to vote.

ISIS and their ilk are a very real threat to our national security;their goal is world domination.

They have made this perfectly clear time after time. That is the reality, so

let’s not stick our heads in the sand and think it won’t touch us here.

I think national security should be in the forefront for our politicians. Those who accuse Harper of fear-mongering on this subject are either naive or in wilful denial.

We need to think of the long-term consequences.

I immigrated to Canada as a child with my mother and other family members but at no time did we consider imposing our agenda on this land of our freedom.

COURTS

No appeal in suit against Furlong THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A freelance journalist who lost her defamation lawsuit against former Vancouver Olympics CEO John Furlong says she will not appeal the ruling.

Laura Robinson says she reached the decision after reflection and dis-

cussion with her family and in spite of advice from independent legal counsel who say the judge made errors in fact and law.

Robinson had accused Furlong of defaming her in public statements he made after she wrote a 2012 article that contained abuse allegations from First Nations students at a B.C.

school where he taught more than four decades ago.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge released a searing judgment last month that found Furlong had a right to defend himself from Robinson’s articles, which the judge called an “attack” on his character, conduct and credibility.

Robinson says continuing the court battle will not accomplish her original goal of listening to indigenous people and she is launching a website called justtrylistening.org as part of an ongoing effort to meet that objective.

She says the past three years have had a huge impact on her health, but she feels honoured to be trusted by First

Nations and there is still a “chasm” between the reality of their lives and how non-Native people see them. » We want to hear from you.

Marchers protest cop shooting mystery in Surrey

Changes made after report of teen death THE CANADIAN PRESS

MELISSA SMALLEY PEACE ARCH NEWS

Hundreds of family members, friends and strangers marched in honour of Hudson Brooks Sunday, three months to the day the South Surrey man was fatally shot outside a police detachment.

Holding signs with Brooks’ photograph, and messages reading “we want answers” and “your child could be next,” upwards of 200 people marched along 152 Avenue in South Surrey, past the RCMP detachment where the 20-year-old was killed in the early morning hours of July 18.

“We will never give up. I will never stop until justice is served,” Jennifer Brooks, Hudson’s mom,said prior to the demonstration. “Nothing they will say can justify the murder of my son.”

In the months since Brooks’ death, his loved ones have expressed frustration over the lack of information from the RCMP about what happened that night.

According to police, officers were responding to reports of a man screaming in the 1800-block of 152 Street around 2:30 a.m. when a struggle ensued. Brooks was shot, and an officer suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Investigators confirmed two days later that only police-issued firearms were found at the scene.

Earlier this month, officials with the Independent Investigations Office acknowledged the slow speed of lab results, noting reports were not expected to be concluded “until min-

imally the new year.”

Several marchers taking part Sunday said they couldn’t believe the family hasn’t been given more answers as to what happened that night.

One woman – who said she didn’t know the Brooks family but felt compelled to show her support – said the incident was “just heartbreaking.”

“It could have been my brother,” she said. “It could have been anyone.”

Upon returning to the large memorial that has been in place outside of the RCMP detachment, Jennifer Brooks thanked the crowd and promised to keep her son’s name in the spotlight.

She also thanked officers who helped block traffic while the large group marched along the busy street.

“There are good police officers,” she said.

“Unfortunately, my son did not get one of them that night.”

Charges stayed in fatal crash THE CANADIAN PRESS

VERNON — Charges have been stayed against a 23-year-old British Columbia man accused of dangerous driving causing death. Brandon McGregor of Spallumcheen was charged after his pickup truck crossed the centre line on Highway 97 south of Vernon in March 2013 and hit a car.

The collision killed 19-year-old Eric

Robertson of Armstrong, who was a passenger in the truck, as well as 70-year-old Allan Allport and his 67-year-old wife Fay from Salmon Arm who were in the car.

McGregor’s trial was supposed to have started on Monday, but Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie says the charges were stayed. He says the Crown received new evidence and concluded it wouldn’t be able to prove criminal conduct by McGregor.

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Children’s Ministry says it has taken steps to help front-line workers understand their roles and responsibilities in the wake of a scathing report on the short, tragic life of a young aboriginal woman.

The change was among a handful announced Monday by the ministry and follows a May report by children and youth representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond into the death of a 19-year-old aboriginal woman identified only as Paige.

Paige died of an overdose in a washroom on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in 2013.

Turpel-Lafond said in her report that Paige endured a “broken system” characterized by persistent indifference from front-line government workers.

Children’s Minister Stephanie Cadieux said in a news release her ministry has created a policy map to help front-line workers understand their roles and responsibilities and revised policy around death reviews for children and youth who are or have been under the ministry’s care.

She said officials have also created an awareness campaign reminding service providers that they must report any at-risk children or youth to the ministry — something Turpel-Lafond said did not happen in Paige’s case. Cadieux noted that these changes are only the beginning and there is a lot of work to be done to help B.C.’s at-risk children and youth.

“We also recognize that real and meaningful change on a systemic

“We also recognize that real and meaningful change on a systemic scale will be an ongoing process. To be successful, we need to examine — from the ground up — the way this province supports our most vulnerable young people.”

scale will be an ongoing process,” she said. “To be successful, we need to examine — from the ground up — the way this province supports our most vulnerable young people.”

The news release included changes that have already been announced by the ministry too, such as the creation of a rapid-response team to help at-risk youth on the Downtown Eastside. Turpel-Lafond made six recommendations in her report, including a call for the ministry to immediately address the “persistent professional indifference” of police, social workers and educators towards aboriginal youth.

“I am buoyed to see that (the ministry) and government have begun to grapple with these important issues and that progress will be improved outcomes for these youth,” said Turpel-Lafond in the news release.

ELECTION 2015

Vote rich GTA ridings go to Liberals Party’s victory in region decisive, encompassing Toronto proper and the suburbs at the expense of Tories JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Voters in the critical Greater Toronto Area dissolved their four-year-long contract with Stephen Harper’s Conservatives on Monday night, returning the Liberals to the region in a near clean sweep and propelling the party to power.

Meanwhile, in the downtown core, a complete collapse of NDP support also helped to push the Liberals over the top. Liberal incumbent Adam Vaughan beat the NDP’s Olivia Chow in Spadina-Fort York in one of the most hotly contested fights in the province.

“There was a red wave that went from Atlantic Canada to Ontario and I got caught up with it, on it, by it,” Chow told reporters. Chow held the riding before she left in 2014 in an unsuccessful bid for the mayoralty.

“They liked me personally as a public servant . . . but their desire to defeat Stephen Harper was so overwhelming that they said OK, we’ll go with the Liberals.”

The Liberal victory in the region was decisive, encompassing Toronto proper and the suburbs. Even late NDP Leader Jack Layton’s former riding of Toronto-Danforth went red.

isters, Joe Oliver, Roxanne James, Chris Alexander and Julian Fantino lost their seats.

Oliver, the former finance minister, said he’d reserve his analysis of the party’s national campaign.

He said his team worked as hard as they could have to win the rid-

ing, but the circumstances worked against them.

“We felt quite confident until a few weeks ago that we had enough support. I had internal polls that showed us ahead, but clearly they were showing a decline in support, so the wave just swept over us,” said Oliver.

“It was a continued increase in the Liberal support, and the precipitous collapse in the NDP support.”

Despite having campaigned with native sons Doug and Rob Ford in the west-end Toronto area of Etobicoke twice in the past week, the Conservatives lost Etobicoke-Lakeshore

and Etobicoke Centre.

Incumbent Conservatives Lisa Raitt in Milton and Erin O’Toole in Durham, two former ministers, were among the handful that held on to their seats. A close race was still unfolding early Tuesday morning in York Centre, where Conservative Mark Adler is the incumbent.

The Conservatives also faced a number of controversies around GTA candidates, including one who was caught on camera peeing in a coffee cup, and another who supported the concept of conversion treatment for homosexuals.

To understand what happened in the GTA, it’s helpful to look back at the dynamics of the 2011 election, when the Conservatives swept the region in spectacular fashion.

In Mississauga and Brampton, for example, the party took every seat, whereas in 2008 they only had one.

The party also pierced several elusive outer Toronto ridings, such as Eglinton-Lawrence, where Joe Oliver was elected.

Conservative party insiders point out that winning many of those ridings was because of the unique circumstances of the time — the NDP was much stronger then under the late Layton, creating vote splits.

Brothers plead guilty to sexual assault on teen THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Two brothers have pleaded guilty to kidnapping and repeatedly raping a 17-year-old girl in Calgary.

Corey Manyshots, who is 26, and 22-year-old Cody Manyshots were

supposed to stand trial Monday, but instead pleaded guilty to four of five charges.

Last November, the teenaged girl was taken from a northeast bus stop and dragged to a nearby alley where she was sexually assaulted.

She was then taken to a home

where she was repeatedly raped.

The Grade 12 student was held for eight hours before she escaped.

The brothers have been sent for psychological and psychiatric assessments. The sentencing hearing for both brothers is set for next April.

Editor steps down over endorsement MICHELLE MCQUIGG THE CANADIAN PRESS

TH

TORONTO — Prominent political journalist Andrew Coyne says he has stepped down from his position as editor of editorials and comment for the National Post after clashing with the newspaper over a piece he wrote that was at odds with the Post’s endorsement of the Conservatives in Monday’s federal election.

Coyne issued an explanation in a series of tweets, saying he resigned the editor’s post “to protect my reputation and to preserve my editorial freedom as a columnist.”

Coyne said he will continue as a columnist for the National Post.

Coyne had penned an unpublished column expressing a different view than the position the National Post took on the election. He later wrote on Twitter that he intends to back the NDP candidate in his riding and that “the Conservatives don’t deserve to be re-elected, and the Liberals don’t deserve a majority.”

“Postmedia executives and I had a professional disagreement,” Coyne wrote of the National Post’s parent company.

“Their view was that the publication of a column by the editorial page editor dissenting from the Post’s endorsement of the Conservatives would have confused readers and embarrassed the paper. My view was that that was what I was paid to do as a columnist: give my honest opinion on issues of public interest.”

Coyne did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Andrew Coyne, National Post editor

In a note to National Post staff, Editor-in-Chief Anne Marie Owens announced Coyne’s decision, saying he felt his dual roles were in conflict.

She praised his tenure in the editor’s job.

“In his short time as editorials & comment editor, Andrew brought intellectual rigour to our editorials and his enthusiasm for intelligent argument and debate to the comment pages,” she wrote.

Coyne tweeted that a newspaper’s managers and owners have every right to take an editorial stance and determine who and what gets published, but suggested he felt his columnist job would be compromised if he stayed silent when he and management didn’t see eye to eye.

In this case, Coyne said he felt readers would be able to differentiate between the newspaper’s official endorsement and the views of an individual columnist.

“I don’t see public disagreement as confusing. I see it as honest,” he tweeted. “Readers, in my view, are adults & understand that adults can disagree.”

Coyne said he would stay on as a columnist with the paper, but would no longer oversee the editorial and commentary section that he presided over since December 2014.

Energy regulator lays charges in 2013 spill

Bail hearing for accused in fatal crash delayed

Posting alleged threat ‘dumb,’ says accused

An energy company with a troubled safety history is facing seven charges related to a pipeline spill that leaked roughly 1.8 million litres of contaminated water in a remote area of northwestern Alberta.

Apache Canada Ltd. has been charged under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Public Lands Act and the Pipeline Act for the October 2013 spill near Zama City that leaked a mix of water, salt, oil and minerals onto more than 3.8 hectares of land.

Alberta Energy Regulator spokesman Ryan Bartlett says the company faces a maximum penalty of $3.1 million for all charges.

The AER is still investigating an additional Apache pipeline spill from January 2014 that released 1.6 million litres of industrial waste water near Whitecourt, Alta.

Apache’s first court appearance on the charges is scheduled for Dec. 7 in Provincial Court in High Level, Alta.

A bail hearing has been postponed for an accused drunk driver involved in a Toronto-area crash that claimed the lives of three children and their grandfather.

Marco Muzzo’s lawyer asked the court to reschedule the hearing for Nov. 12.

Muzzo, 29, is facing a dozen impaired-driving offences and six charges related to the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in the Sept. 27 collision in Vaughan, Ont. Daniel Neville-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, their sister Milly, 2, and their 65-year-old grandfather Gary Neville died as a result of the crash.

The children’s grandmother and great-grandmother were also seriously injured in the crash.

Muzzo’s lawyer, Brian Greenspan, has previously said it was too early to say how his client would plead.

The Muzzo family owns the construction company Marel Contractors and is worth nearly $1.8 billion, according to Canadian Business magazine.

A man in London, England accused of posting an online threat against Wilfrid Laurier University says he made the comment as a joke and never expected anyone to take it seriously.

In an interview with CTV News, a man the network identified as 22-year-old Daniel Ransem apologized to the school for the distress he caused.

Ransem, who is charged with malicious communications, told the network the post is “a running joke” on the 4chan forum and he had no malicious intent.

He says he has been released on bail and is due back in court in January.

The U.K.’s Malicious Communications Act makes it illegal for anyone to send a threat with the intent to cause distress or anxiety.

The post, which was initially flagged by U.S. authorities, triggered a lockdown of the Waterloo, Ont., campus for nearly six hours on Friday.

Failed efforts for women over 40 hits $600K SHERYL UBELACKER THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The cost to Quebec taxpayers for a single baby born to a woman aged 40 and older ranges from almost $45,000 to more than $100,000 under the province’s publicly funded IVF program, a study has found.

And while no live births were recorded for women age 44, the mean cost of failed in-vitro fertilization among this age group hit almost $600,000.

Those findings, say researchers, represent a cautionary tale for any other jurisdiction considering whether to fund a similar program.

In 2010, Quebec became the first jurisdiction in North America to cover the costs of IVF for couples unable to conceive on their own. The program funds three cycles of the procedure — stimulating ovulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer — that results in a live birth.

The actual cost is higher: the program does not reimburse patients for medications needed for IVF, which typically run between $3,000 and $5,000 per cycle and are often paid for by private insurance.

In all, 246 babies were born to women 40-plus during the 2010-2012 study period, said lead researcher Dr. Neal Mahutte, medical director of the Montreal Fertility Centre.

Researchers found that each live birth achieved through IVF for women aged 40, and using their own eggs, cost the government $43,153, a figure that increased exponentially with age, reaching almost $104,000 for 43-year-olds.

In contrast, IVF treatment that resulted in a live newborn for women under age 35 averaged $17,919, say the researchers, whose study will be presented Monday at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine annual meeting in Baltimore.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2015

Because the Quebec government didn’t put an upper age limit on its program, older women whose prognosis for conception even with IVF continues to diminish with each birthday are also eligible for funding.

“So you had an awful lot of patients in Quebec who actually underwent more than three egg retrievals, and particularly in your 42-year-old and older patients, where they have high cycle-cancellation rates, they can have high rates of having a retrieval but no egg, or an egg that doesn’t fertilize or nothing to transfer,” Mahutte said.

“You had patients who would repetitively cycle because they had basically everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying again.”

Mahutte said there’s a clear relationship between the live birth rate per IVF cycle start and a woman’s age.

“And because the live birth rate per cycle start goes down quite substantially at age 40 and above, funding those cycles comes at a very substantial financial cost to the public,” he told a media telebriefing.

“So our conclusion was that any government that’s planning to introduce public funding should be aware of this relationship and should at least consider age eligibility criteria in order to maximize return on their investment.”

Ontario recently announced it will begin funding one cycle of IVF to achieve egg retrieval and one-at-a-time transfer of all viable embryos to allow for the possibility of multiple chances for pregnancy. Women age 42 and under are eligible for coverage, which begins in December.

A second study that was to be presented Monday at the ASRM meeting found Quebec’s IVF program met its goal of reducing the multiple birth rate to less than 10 per cent of all IVF deliveries — down from 25 per cent before the program began.

SAINT-JEROME, Que. — Guy Turcotte, who is charged with murdering his two young children, says he thought about suicide a few times in the two years before their deaths.

Turcotte testified Monday about his stormy relationship with Isabelle Gaston, the kids’ mother, as well as discussing a childhood he said was marked by being mocked and intimidated.

“I was sort of the scapegoat,” said Turcotte, adding he had few friends.

Turcotte’s testimony came shortly after one of his lawyers, Pierre Poupart, told the trial he will argue that his client should be found not criminally responsible in the slayings.

While Turcotte, 43, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder, he has admitted to causing the deaths of Olivier, 5, and Anne-Sophie, 3, in 2009.

Turcotte, who described himself as a man who lacked self-assurance, said he and Gaston would often argue and that they broke up in 2001 before later making up.

He said the relationship deteriorated after the children were born, although the kids made him happy.

“When I was alone with the children, it became my oasis,” he said.

But he testified the constant squabbling with Gaston, which he said she would instigate, dragged him down.

“It was very hard on me when Isa poured out her anxiety,” he said. “I

became really discouraged.

“In 2007, I even thought of suicide, always after arguments. Those feelings didn’t last a long time, just a few hours.”

Some of the methods he said he considered were hanging himself, taking rat poison or consuming windshield washer fluid.

“I thought of it, but I told myself I couldn’t do that to my children.”

He said Gaston became more “hostile” in December 2008 and that on New Year’s Eve that year, he became “super depressed” when she kissed another man in front of him.

Poupart told the 11 jurors he will call witnesses as well as experts — “doctors specialized in the examination of what goes on in the brain.”

“They will talk about an acute suicidal crisis,” he said.

Poupart said Turcotte’s mental illness brought about that condition.

The high-profile defence lawyer told the jurors they will have to

determine whether Turcotte was in a state of such psychological distress.

He said he will try to prove that the accused would never have caused the children’s deaths had he not been in that mental state.

While the Crown must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Turcotte was responsible for the crime, Poupart said the burden of proof required to establish a defence of not criminally responsible by way of mental problems is not as great.

He also reminded the jurors they will need to reach a verdict based on the evidence and not on their emotions.

“Condemning a person who is not criminally responsible would shake the legal foundations and strike a blow to the integrity of the judicial system,” Poupart said.

“It would be horrible to be condemned for acts that are not the acts of a person of sound mind.”

He warned jurors there are still things to see that are painful and that nobody, even Turcotte himself, can be insensitive to the facts of the case. The defence lawyer also asked the jurors to not forget that “the children who were victims of this tragedy were also his children.”

The Crown wrapped up its case last week after calling 29 witnesses. » We want to hear from you.

Genetic research suggests the arrival of permanent trading posts in Arctic Quebec meant more than easier access to flour and metal cookware for Inuit families.

A newly published paper from McGill University concludes that’s how tuberculosis was introduced into the region as well.

“It would appear that the tuberculosis epidemic dates to permanent interaction with some outside people,” said lead author Marcel Behr.

Although TB is a distant memory in most of Canada, it still stalks the North. Last year, Nunavut recorded 83 cases, although that was an improvement.

There were 100 cases in 2010, a rate of infection 63 times higher than that in the south.

In 2008, a study found Canada’s four main Inuit regions had a tuberculosis incidence rate of 157.5 for every 100,000 people. The rate in southern Canada was 0.8 per 100,000.

In an attempt to understand why the respiratory disease remains so persistent in Arctic Quebec, Behr and his colleagues examined the genetic structure of tuberculosis bacilli found in 163 cases from the region known as Nunavik.

They found the great majority of them were very similar. Using known rates of genetic mutation for the TB bacillus, they were able to derive a pretty good idea of when the bug arrived among the Inuit — about 1919.

“The Inuit of northern Quebec had long-standing casual interactions

with whalers and fishermen and explorers for probably about three centuries,” Behr said. “We do not see any evidence that those three centuries led to (TB taking hold).

“After the early 1900s, you actually start to see formal installations and villages and trading posts. You have a much more permanent interaction.”

The good news is that Behr’s team couldn’t find any evidence that Nunavik’s TB strain is more virulent than others. Although some strains elsewhere on the globe are harder to treat or more antibiotic-resistant, Nunavik’s is not among them.

“We could find absolutely no traces of a hyper-virulent bacteria. It is a relatively ordinary bacterium.”

That suggests the disease’s persistence is due almost entirely to social conditions such as overcrowded, substandard housing.

“It should be a controllable strain.”

Behr said public health agencies have two ways to address the issue — treating the disease itself or treating the conditions under which it flourishes.

Tuberculosis has left an indelible mark on Inuit culture. In the ’50s and ’60s, thousands of infected Inuit were sent south for treatment, many never to return.

Fatal beating of Eritrean migrant in Israel prompts concern, unrest Israeli mob believed he was Palestinian; prime minister condemns vigilante action JOSEF FEDERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — The death of an Eritrean migrant who was shot and beaten by a mob that mistakenly believed he was a Palestinian attacker set off a round of soul-searching Monday amid the jittery atmosphere sweeping Israel in a wave of unrest.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the vigilantism. Some critics accused Israel’s leaders of fostering the charged climate, while others called for the swift prosecution of the crazed mob.

“It is a disgrace to Israeli society, and those that carried out this lynching need to be found and brought to justice,” said Yaakov Amidror, Netanyahu’s former national security adviser.

“Even if it was the terrorist himself, by the way, after he was shot, after he was neutralized and lying on the floor, you need to be an animal to torment him,” he told Israel Radio.

Nine Israelis have been killed in the past month in the attacks, mostly stabbings, on city streets. At least 41 Palestinians have been killed — including 20 identified by Israeli authorities as attackers; the rest were slain in clashes with Israeli forces.

Israelis have stocked up on mace and pepper spray, and some public officials are openly carrying personal weapons and encouraging the public to do the same. Security has been increased, and especially in Jerusalem.

The violence has led to fear and sometimes outright panic.

Following an attack at Jerusalem’s bus station last week, a swarm of security forces and armed civilians ran along a central road in search of a second assailant following a false alarm. Elsewhere, an Israeli man stabbed a fellow Jew after mistaking his dark-skinned victim for an Arab.

Palestinians in Jerusalem say they are afraid of being shot.

But Sunday night’s mob scene at

the bus station in of Beersheba took things to a new level.

The violence began when an Arab with a knife and gun killed a soldier, stole his weapon and opened fire, wounding nine people before being killed by police.

In the mayhem, Habtom Zerhom, an Eritrean migrant in his late 20s, ran into the station to seek cover, police said. A security guard, mistaking Zerhom for an attacker, shot him.

As the young man lay on the floor, a mob cursed him, kicked him and hit him with objects. Security camera video showed Zerhom in a pool of blood as he was rammed with a bench and kicked in the head by passers-by, while an Israeli officer and a few bystanders tried to protect him. Zerhom later died at a hospital.

Police said they were reviewing the security video to identify the mob. As of late Monday, no arrests had been announced.

Critics said the shooting was the result of the charged atmosphere.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, for instance, has openly called on all licensed gun owners, like himself, to carry their weapons to help back up overstretched security forces.

“The death of an asylum seeker at the hands of security guards and an angry mob is a tragic but foreseeable outgrowth of a climate in which some Israeli politicians encourage citizens to take the law into their own hands,” said Sari Bashi, director for Israel and the Palestinian areas of Human Rights Watch.

Hanan Ashrawi, a top Palestinian official, accused Israeli leaders of whipping up the public.

“They are creating a mentality of lynch mobs and of course feeding the culture of hate and racism,” she said.

There are about 34,000 Eritrean migrants in Israel. They say they are fleeing persecution and conflict in their homeland, one of the world’s worst violators of human rights.

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

Croatia police lower border obstacles to let migrants through as they head for Slovenia JOVANA GEC THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKASOVO, Serbia — Thousands of people trying to reach the heart of Europe surged across Serbia’s border into Croatia on Monday after authorities eased restrictions that had left them stranded for days in ankle-deep mud and rain.

The miserable wave of humanity left behind a field scattered with soaked blankets, mud-caked clothing and water-logged tents as they headed for Slovenia, the next obstacle to their quest to reach richer European Union nations via the Balkans.

Monday’s surprise move allowed an estimated 3,000 more migrants to enter Croatia bound for its small Alpine neighbour, which also has been struggling to slow the flow of humanity across its frontiers — and faced another wave of trekkers seeking to reach Austria and Germany to the north.

“It’s apparent that this is no solution, so we will let them through.

We will send them toward Slovenia.”

Zoran Milanovic, Croatia prime minister

“Without any announcement, the borders opened. When the borders opened, everybody rushed,” said Melita Sunjic, a spokeswoman for the UN refugee agency, who was stationed at the Serb-Croat border.

Officers stood aside to permit asylum-seekers by the thousands to walk toward buses for transport north — where they would become Slovenia’s problem.

Croatia’s prime minister, Zoran Milanovic, said his country had hoped to minimize the flow of people following Hungary’s decision to seal

its border with Croatia, but conditions on the poorly sheltered Serb side of the border had quickly grown unbearable.

“It’s apparent that this is no solution, so we will let them through.

We will send them toward Slovenia,” Milanovic said.

Slovenia’s Interior Ministry said some 5,000 people had reached its borders Monday, and most were allowed to enter, with at least 900 reaching Austria by the evening.

Slovenia had vowed to let in no more than 2,500 migrants per day.

Slovenian President Borut Pahor insisted his country would accept only as many travellers as could be funnelled directly on to Austria. He said Slovenia was determined not to be left holding the bag should Austria or Germany suddenly stop accepting refugee applicants.

Officials in Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia all accused each other of

making a bad situation worse.

Slovenia accused the Croats of breaking an agreement to limit the number of migrants crossing into its territory to 2,500 per day. Croatian officials insisted no such deal could be enforced because they lacked legal powers to confine travellers to Croat emergency shelters, which remain less than half full.

Before the Croat authorities lifted the border restrictions on Monday, parents desperate to get their children out of the cold and rain could be seen handing them over the security barriers to police. Others fed up with waiting in the rain tried to outflank police positions, walking through muddy cornfields.

Croatian government leaders argue that it’s pointless, if not impossible, to stop people who overwhelmingly express determination to reach wealthier nations in Western Europe, chiefly Germany.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Associated Press ◆ LOS ANGELES

Saudi royal not charged with felony sex assault Los Angeles prosecutors have declined to press a felony sexual assault charge against a member of the Saudi royal family.

A spokeswoman said Monday that the Los Angeles district attorney has forwarded the case against Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud to the city attorney for a possible misdemeanour charge.

Spokeswoman Jane Robison says there was insufficient evidence to charge Al-Saud with a felony.

An attorney for Al-Saud says the allegations were false and the 29-year-old has maintained his innocence repeatedly.

Defence lawyer Alan Jackson says the allegations were motivated by a shakedown for money.

Robison says there were four alleged victims and one did not co-operate with authorities.

Research finds life may have begun much earlier Scientists have found fossil-like hints that some kind of life existed on Earth 4.1 billion years ago — when the planet was a mere volcanic toddler. That’s 300 million years earlier than previously thought.

Not only does that change the way scientists thought Earth was like soon after it formed 4.5 billion years ago, but gives them reason to theorize that life itself is more plentiful throughout the universe because it seemed to start up so quickly.

Researchers examined tiny grains of the mineral zircon from western Australia’s Jack Hills and chemically dated them to when Earth was barely 400 million years old. Inside one of the 160 some grains they found what they call a “chemo-fossil” or a certain mix of carbon isotopes, according to a study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Polish PM, challenger debate ahead of election Poland’s pro-business prime minister faced off Monday against her main challenger in a debate ahead of general elections this weekend — the first time two women are the top two contenders to lead the country.

The debate took place Monday evening between Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz of the pro-European Civic Platform party and Beata Szydlo of the conservative and populist Law and Justice party, which is leading in the polls.

Two more debates are planned this week that will involve the heads of several other parties, all of which are small and do not have the chance of winning the parliamentary elections being held Sunday, but which could serve as coalition partners to the bigger parties.

The debate focused on economic matters and a range of other issues that reveal the deep differences between the two parties.

Two-year-old Geo Mounsef was killed and four other members of his family injured in May 2013 when an SUV driven by Richard Suter went through a glass partition at Ric’s Grill, an upscale restaurant in southwest Edmonton.

Suter, now 65, had been parked in front of the restaurant, and the surveillance tape showed him accelerat-

A sentencing hearing began Monday for Suter, who has pleaded guilty to refusing to provide a breath sample when there is death. Last January, Suter told police he had been abducted from his home by three people who posed as police officers.

U.S. will demand drone registration JOAN LOWY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Concerned about rising reports of close calls and safety risks involving drones, the U.S. government announced Monday it will require many of the increasingly popular unmanned aircraft to be registered.

Pilot sightings of drones have doubled since last year, including near manned airplanes and at major sporting events, and there are reports of interference with wildfire-fighting operations, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said at a news conference.

“These reports signal a troubling trend,” said Federal Aviation Administration chief Michel Huerta.

Registration will increase pressure on drone operators to fly responsibly, he said, adding, “When they don’t fly safely, they’ll know there will be consequences.”

The FAA now receives about 100 reports a month from pilots who say they’ve seen drones flying near planes and airports, compared with only a few sightings per month last year. So far there have been no accidents, but agency officials have said they’re concerned that a drone weighing only a few pounds might cause serious damage if it is sucked into an engine or smashes into an airliner’s windshield.

Toys and small drones that don’t present a safety threat are likely to be exempt from the requirement.

Drones that weigh only a pound or two (up to a kilogram) or that can’t fly higher than a few hundred feet are considered less risky, but heavier ones and those that can fly thousands of feet pose more of a problem.

To work out details, the FAA and the Transportation Department are setting up a task force including government and industry officials, pilots and hobbyists. They’ll recommend which drones should be required to register.

It’s hard to identify drones seen

operating illegally near airports and planes or over crowds, and registration by itself won’t change that. But it would allow the FAA to identify drones when they can be recovered after landing or crashing, a common occurrence.

Earlier this year, drones operated illegally crashed on the White House lawn and at the New York stadium where the U.S. Open Tennis Championships were being held. In both cases the drone operators came forward. But if they hadn’t, the government would have had no way to identify them.

“There can be no accountability if the person breaking the rules can’t be identified,” Foxx said.

There’s no official count of how many drones have been sold in the U.S., but industry officials say it is in the hundreds of thousands and will easily pass a million by the end of the year.

Foxx said he has directed the task force to deliver its report by Nov. 20 and hopes to have registration requirements in place by mid-December. The timeline is tight, but the urgency of the problem demands swift action, he said.

The Consumer Electronics Association predicts that 700,000 drones will be sold this holiday season, and Foxx said it’s important drone users be taught the responsibilities that come with flying.

Registering drones that could pose safety risks “makes sense, but it should not become a prohibitive burden for recreational users who fly for fun and educational purposes and who have operated harmoniously within our communities for decades,” Dave Mathewson, executive director of the Academy for Model Aeronautics, said in a statement.

And Daniel Castro, vice-president at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, urged the government not to “rush into new rules that could have unintended consequences down the line.”

Give possible allergenics earlier to kids, says study

Irregular heart rate can cause falls in elderly Dr. W. Gifford-Jones

Once foods are introduced, keep baby eating them regularly

The Doctor Game

I

LOIS ABRAHAM THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Parents should be feeding their babies potentially allergenic foods to ward off serious allergies, suggests a new review of recent evidence.

The review, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, states that most babies at four to six months of age can begin eating these foods, which include cow’s milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish and sesame.

And once those foods have been introduced, it’s important the baby continue to eat them on a regular basis or an allergy could develop.

“We’re in the midst of a food allergy epidemic, so prevention is really important,” said co-author Dr. Elissa Abrams of the University of Manitoba’s department of pediatric allergy and clinical immunology.

In the past, parents of babies at high risk of developing allergies were advised to wait 12 months to 36 months before introducing commonly allergenic foods.

“At the time we thought that if you allowed the infants’ immune system and gut to mature it would decrease the chance that they would become allergic,” said Abrams, who co-authored the review with Dr. Allan Becker.

Instead of food allergy rates dropping, as was expected, there was an increase in some areas.

“For example, in the U.K., when they started avoiding peanut there

was as much as a tripling of peanut allergy,” said Abrams.

Later studies “found that giving the foods late did not prevent allergies and in fact may actually increase the risk that these children would become allergic.”

Groups including the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology now call for introducing peanuts to high-risk kids at between four and 11 months of age.

The new review does suggest it might be advisable for parents to visit an allergist if there is a history of

allergies in the family.

A recent survey of Canadian households found that eight per cent, or one in 12 families, reported at least one food allergy.

Researchers have also learned more about what could be causing food allergies.

“We now think that you can actually become allergic through your skin, specifically broken skin such as in children with eczema, if they’re exposed to these foods in the environment and not already eating them,” Abrams said.

lost track of the number of times I was called by hospital emergency to tell me my elderly mother had fallen again. Now, a study shows that atrial fibrillation, referred to as A Fib, an irregular heart rate, is often the cause of falling. I wish I had known then what I know now.

Dr. Sofie Jansen of the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam, Holland, analyzed the data of 4,800 adults. 20 percent reported that they had fallen at least once during the past year.

She reports the number of patients suffering from A Fib increased with advancing age, only one percent between 50 and 64 years of age, but 8 per cent for those 75 and older.

Over 30 per cent were unaware they had A Fib before the study.

Some A Fib patients notice palpitations, breathlessness or fatigue as the heart rate becomes erratic. Since an irregularly beating heart does not pump enough oxygenated blood to the brain, this causes dizziness and researchers say it doubles the chance of falling.

The worry is that A Fib causes blood to swirl around longer in the chambers of the heart. This increases the risk of a blood clot forming and travelling to the brain. A stroke or a fall may result with serious injury.

Doctors normally treat A Fib with either drugs to thin the blood, making it less likely to clot, or ones to restore the rhythm. But these can cause bleeding and other side-effects.

If either fails, more complicated procedures such as an electrical shock to

the heart, or destruction of a portion of the heart’s tissue can be done.

Today, I would decrease the risk of treatment complications by first trying natural remedies. I would quickly give magnesium as each heart beat is controlled by an electrical impulse, requiring sufficient amounts of this mineral. Studies show that most North Americans are deficient in magnesium. So a powder such as MagSense or a magnesium pill can help to save patients from drugs or more complicated procedures.

Next would be a daily 81 mg (milligram) Aspirin to thin the blood. It can, on rare occasions, cause gastrointestinal bleeding, but I believe it is less risky than prescription drugs.

I’d also add natural vitamin E 200 IU which oils the blood.

Dr. Donna P. Denier, a cardiologist and member of The American College of Cardiology, says, “Even in the world of cardiologists it is not well known that diabetes is a risk factor for A Fib.” She could have added that diabetes is notorious for causing atherosclerosis, (hardening of arteries) which decreases the flow of blood to the heart’s muscle.

Since hypertension and A Fib pose a high risk for stroke, I’d also suggest Neo40.

This miracle molecule decreases inflammation in arteries and makes platelets in the blood more slippery, so less likely to form a blood clot.

Neo40 also increases the production of nitric oxide causing dilatation of arteries and a decrease in blood pressure. Most people are unaware of this remedy even though this discovery received the Nobel Prize in 1998. All these natural remedies are available in health food stores.

Lastly, for those who do not drink alcohol, don’t start.

ENTERTAINMENT

Bill Cosby suffers series of legal setbacks Comedian, 78, faces five separate lawsuits, including one filed last week by woman claiming sexual assault THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — In both the court of law and the court of public opinion, the case is growing against Bill Cosby.

A year after allegations of sexual assault resurfaced and snowballed, women who’ve accused him of sexual assault are giving emotional interviews en masse, judges are ruling against him and colleges are continuing to revoke honorary degrees bestowed upon him when he was one of the country’s most admired entertainers.

Cosby, 78, now faces five separate lawsuits, including one filed last week by a woman who says Cosby repeatedly sexually assaulted her beginning when she was 16. Earlier this month, a judge in California refused to throw out a lawsuit filed by a woman who accuses Cosby of molesting her when she was 15.

Days later, a federal judge in Massachusetts rejected Cosby’s bid to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by three women who’ve accused him of sexually abusing them decades ago.

He spent a day being deposed in Boston in connection with a lawsuit by attorney Gloria Allred. More depositions are likely in the weeks ahead.

If that weren’t enough, 27 of the women who say Cosby sexually assaulted them were interviewed together on “Dateline NBC.” Ebony magazine ran a cover with a photo of “The Cosby Show” cast under broken glass. And at least three more universities rescinded honorary degrees in the past week.

Tufts University in Massachusetts delivered a double blow, withdrawing both an honorary doctorate of arts and an award for excellence in children’s media, saying Cosby has “demonstrated a lack of character and integrity.” It joined a growing list of schools — including Fordham, Marquette and Brown University — that have sought to erase any affiliation with Cosby.

All this comes after a year of Cosby and his attorneys denying or refusing to comment as dozens of women went public with stories of sexual assault dating back to the 1960s.

Cosby, a comedian and actor who first rose to fame in the ’60s, starred as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992, a role that cemented his image as an upright family man.

“It appears it’s catching up to him now. There’s a tsunami of women who have allegedly been affected

by Mr. Cosby and are wanting to be heard,” said Joseph Cammarata, who represents the three women in the federal defamation suit filed in Massachusetts, where Cosby has a house in Shelburne Falls.

Things could get even worse for Cosby in the next few months.

Prosecutors in Pennsylvania and California could still bring criminal charges.

Although the statute of limitations

has expired in most of the cases, the release this year of Cosby’s deposition in a 2005 sex-assault lawsuit in Pennsylvania seemingly prompted the current prosecutor to reopen the criminal case.

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman won’t confirm her office is reinvestigating the complaint by Andrea Constand, a former director of women’s basketball operations at Temple University, where Cosby was a longtime trustee. However, Ferman said in a recent statement that prosecutors must review prior decisions if new evidence comes to light. And a wellknown Philadelphia defence lawyer confirmed that Cosby’s camp asked him to represent the actor in a Montgomery County criminal probe.

The statute of limitations for felony sexual assault in Pennsylvania is 12 years, which means Ferman has until January — the same month she leaves office — to file charges.

In California, Los Angeles County prosecutors are reviewing allegations by model Chloe Goins, who sued Cosby this month, claiming he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2008. Cosby’s lawyer, Martin Singer, has denied Goins’ allegations, saying Cosby wasn’t in Los Angeles on the date originally provided by her attorneys.

Another lawsuit was filed on Wednesday. Renita Hill accuses Cosby of drugging her drinks and assaulting her at hotels in several cities in the 1980s, beginning when she was still in high school. Her lawsuit alleges that Cosby defamed her when he, his wife, Camille, and his attorney made statements portraying her as a liar.

None of the statements mentioned Hill by name.

Singer did not return calls or emails for comment, and Monique Pressley, another Cosby attorney, declined to comment. They have repeatedly denied some of the

women’s allegations. Cosby has never been charged with a crime.

“What I am saying is that Mr. Cosby has denied the accusations that have been lodged thus far. The sheer volume or number of people who are saying a particular thing does not make it true,” Pressley said on “Good Morning America” in July.

Cosby’s accusers say his once-impeccable image has been shattered.

“He has created his legacy, and his legacy has taken a shift,” said Barbara Bowman, who was a 17-yearold aspiring actress in 1985 when she says Cosby sexually assaulted her.

Bowman was one of 13 women who had planned to testify for Constand in a civil suit Cosby settled in 2006 before it went to trial.

In a deposition in that case, Cosby acknowledged he gave Quaaludes to young women he wanted to have sex with, “the same as a person would say, ‘Have a drink.”’

He maintained that the sexual activities were consensual and that none of the women took Quaaludes unknowingly.

The lawsuits against Cosby are in the early stages and have a long way to go before they go to trial. Cosby’s attorneys will still have additional opportunities to try to get them dismissed.

Tamara Rice Lave, an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Law who was written extensively about sex offenders, said she expects Cosby “is going to be paying a lot of money” in civil judgments. But she said she is concerned that the current climate against Cosby could pressure prosecutors to file criminal charges.

“I think prosecutors might be less careful in reviewing criminal charges because they’re so happy to have a case that falls within the statute of limitations and they also know that they’re very likely to get a conviction because they have all of this propensity evidence,” Lave said.

ADVICE

Be as nice as possible to ‘Golden Child’ sister Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My family is very dysfunctional because of my mother’s poor parenting and her history of playing favourites. I maintain minimal contact with my siblings.

One of my sisters is very controlling and has always manipulated my mother to get what she wants.

She’s my mother’s “golden child.” A

number of years ago, this sister took all of the old family photos from my mother’s home. Mom says she only borrowed them. Knowing my sister, I was concerned that the family would never see those pictures again.

I recently decided to ask my sister to let me have the pictures so I could go through them, make some enlargements and copies, and write down some names and dates. My adult children also have expressed interest in having access to the pictures, as they have never seen them and would like to know about their family’s history. My sister lives four hours away, and I offered to pick them up. Well, my request has started World War III. My mother and sister are furious that I have asked to take the pictures to

go through them. They cannot give me a reason I can’t have access to the photos but consider me the bad guy in this scenario. I could back down and let my sister have her way, but I would like to have that piece of my family history to pass on to my children.

Ideally, all of the siblings would have some of the originals, but my sister never learned to share. Should I continue my quest for these photographs, even knowing I will be treated with contempt by my mother and sister?

Or should I just let it go?

— Living in Dysfunctional Family Land Dear Living: There may be another way to get the pictures. Your sister seems controlling and possessive,

so she is unlikely to hand over the photographs. Instead, as nicely and sweetly as possible, ask whether you can go through them in her home.

Discuss scanning the ones you want into her computer and emailing them.

Or you could offer to pay her to make copies. Bring your mother along so she can see that you are being reasonable and flexible. If Sis says no and your mother gets angry, you will be no worse off.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Ohio,” who wondered why prospective employers never get back to her after job interviews.

I would suggest that after the interview, she send a thank-you letter

expressing something she liked about the job and explaining how she’s looking forward to working for that company. I learned about that when I attended a community college. It helps. One employer was so impressed that he kept the thank-you note in my file.

— B.T. Dear B.T.: We like this idea. It can only enhance your chances of learning whether you got the job or not. It also doesn’t hurt to make a follow-up phone call or send a polite email if you haven’t heard back within a week of the interview.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll shake up the status quo and cause someone to become upset. Know that this, too, will pass. The results are very much in the ballpark of what you had projected would happen. A conversation with someone will add a fresh perspective. Tonight: Enjoy whomever is around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be facing quite a bit of volatility in the daytime. As a result, you will need to come to terms with the existing situation. A higher-up is likely to give you feedback. You know when you have had enough, so don’t be afraid to speak up.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Continue dealing with people directly, as you do better in one-on-one discussions. You could be overwhelmed by everything you hear from a friend or loved one. This person seems to want some distance.

Use this time to evaluate and think.

Tonight: Opt for the unusual.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, as you might not have any other choice. It is as if people are running in and out the door telling you their plans. Maintain a sense of humor, and you’ll experience less tension. Be willing to break patterns and routines.

Tonight: Follow your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be overwhelmed by all the requests you are receiving. You have a lot to do, and not enough time to do it. You could be jolted by

BABY BLUES

DIVERSIONS 27

news from someone afar. Don’t sell yourself short. Postpone a conversation until later in the day. Tonight: Catch up with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your senses of direction and creativity merge once again. You might surprise some friends who seem to have pigeonholed you. If you get a strange reaction here and there, try not to worry. Curb frivolous spending, and you’ll be happy you did.

Tonight: Meet up with a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might feel as if you are all over the place because of your latest interactions. Understand that you are likely to hear a lot of conflicting information. The unexpected hits when a loved one or dear friend reacts in a shocking way. Tonight: Add some spice to your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Conversations will reveal others’ natural resistance, especially someone in your daily life. Your instincts might not help you at present, because they come from your perspective.

Be willing to break patterns, and opt to head down a new path.

Tonight: Reach out to a friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel as if you need to have different concerns from those around you. You might want to ask more questions and come to terms with a changeable situation.

Use caution with your finances and spending. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to leave your wallet empty.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your effectiveness will be challenged by someone you look up to.

Know that this person simply wants to present a different perspective.

The unexpected continues to run through your personal life. Take a step back, and don’t worry so much. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Maintain a low-key profile during the day. You have a tendency to do the unexpected and shake up the status quo. You won’t even have to work on it -- it will just happen. A long-distance call will prove to be enlightening. Tonight: Take a power nap, then decide.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t avoid a meeting, even if you would prefer not to be present. You will realize how important it is soon enough. Network and extend your immediate circle. Don’t lose sight of a goal. Have a talk with someone on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Make it early.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20) This year you must keep your eye on your long-term goals, as you often will be distracted. You know what you want, and you know how to get there. Bosses and supervisors demand a lot from you, which often might cause a problem. You will not be bored. If you are single, you will have to go through quite a few suitors before you meet the right person. Give yourself the space to date. If you are attached, the two of you often need an escape from your daily life. Plan a special few days away together as soon as you can. AQUARIUS provokes a wildness in you.

JAMONT, LOUIS “LAURIE� LAURENT Regimental # 19784

If YES, call or email for FREE initial legal consultation and protect your right to compensation.

S/Sgt. (Ret’d) Louis Laurent Jamont, Reg. # 19784, known to all as Laurie, was born October 6, 1938, in Rosthern, Saskatchewan. He was the second son of Josie and Louis Jamont, and the big brother to four sisters, and a younger brother.

778-588-7049 Julie@LawyersWest.ca www.LawyersWest.ca

At a young age, Laurie decided he wanted to join the RCMP, and in February 1957, boarded a train from his home in Langley to start an adventure that would last a lifetime. He was posted in multiple places in Saskatchewan, then spent a year on the Musical Ride, representing the RCMP and his country, of which he was so proud.

Shortly thereafter, he was posted to the North, spending three years in the Arctic, in Aklavik, Inuvik, and Arctic Red River. After his posting was up, he returned to Saskatchewan, and, on the eve of his brother’s wedding in 1963, happened to meet a beautiful young nurse, who turned out to be the love of his life. Val and Laurie were married in September 1965, and started their adventure together, soon moving to Ottawa, where he became involved in the Ident Section. He stayed with that section through moves to Moncton, Fredericton, Thompson, Brandon, and Prince George. While in Prince George, he left the Ident section to serve as the Division Representative, a job that brought him much satisfaction, as it enabled him to do something that was his true nature – helping others. His last transfer took him Nanaimo, where he retired in 1992 as a Staff Sergeant, after 35 years of service. After retirement, he went to work for the Public Guardian and Trustee, utilizing his policing background in another way. He joined the RCMP Veterans Association, and served in many positions on the executive committee, and took great pleasure in being involved. He truly was a Mountie for life.

Laurie built model planes, was an avid reader, and a lover of history and all things Canadian. He was a storyteller, a quick wit, a gardener, a whistler, a carpenter, a blood donor, and in recent years, a stem cell courier for the bone marrow transplant program.

He was a wonderful husband to Val, a loving and devoted father to Ilene and Don, and recently became a completely besotted grandfather to Jack. He celebrated 50 years of marriage earlier this year, surrounded by family and many, many friends. He was so proud of his children, and loved their spouses as if they were his own kids.

Laurie was many things to many people, but above all he always did what was right, and he was first to step forward when someone needed a hand. He will be sorely missed.

In the wee hours of October 13, 2015, Laurie lost his battle with leukemia. With Val by his side, he slipped away peacefully, having fought the good fight. He is survived by his loving wife Val, his daughter Ilene (Francois Veillette), his son Don (Laura), and his grandson, Jack, along with his sisters Agnes, Margaret, and Yvonne, and his brother Norman, his sisterin-law Bev, brother-in-law Don and sister-in-law Delores, and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Josie, his brother Ken, and his sister Irma.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. October 22, 2015, at Telford’s Funeral Home, 595 Townsite Road, Nanaimo. Interment to follow at RCMP’s Depot Division.

Special thanks to Dr. Denegri, and the NRGH nurses who worked so closely with Laurie, and the many close friends who came to visit in the hospital. Your time with him meant so much.

Donations in Laurie’s memory may be made to the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of BC, c/o VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation, Suite 190, 855 W 12th Ave, Vancouver V5Z 1M9.

JOHANNESBURG — Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympic runner who fatally shot his girlfriend in 2013, was released from prison and placed under house arrest on Monday night, a South African official said. “Oscar Pistorius was placed under correctional supervision tonight,� Manelisi Wolela, a spokesman for South Africa’s correctional services department, said in a cellphone text message sent to journalists.

Wolela cited officials at Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre, a prison in the South African capital of Pretoria where Pistorius had served nearly a year of his five-year sentence for manslaughter.

The correctional services department had originally said Pistorius would be released from the Pretoria jail on Tuesday in line with a decision by a parole board at the prison. “The handling of the actual placement is an operational matter of the local management, and how they handle it is their prerogative that is carried out in the best interest of all parties concerned, the victims, the offender and the Department of Correction Services,�

Wolela said in a second text message.

The murder trial of Pistorius generated intense international interest, and the surprising decision to release Pistorius a day early, and at night, appeared to have avoided the logistical challenges and spectacle associated with a large gathering of TV crews and other journalists hoping to catch a glimpse of Pistorius on the way out of prison.

While out on bail during his trial, the 28-year-old Pistorius had stayed at his uncle’s mansion in an upmarket suburb of Pretoria. However, an Associated Press journalist outside the house said no one had gone in or out of the main entrance of the house on Monday night.

Under South African law, an offender sentenced to five years or less in jail can be released after serving one-sixth of the term — in Pistorius’ case 10 months.

Pistorius was acquitted of murder last year for the Valentine’s Day shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, but prosecutors have appealed the trial verdict of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, and will seek a murder conviction again at South Africa’s Supreme Court on Nov. 3.

If Pistorius is convicted of murder by a panel of five judges at the appeal, he faces going back to prison for 15 years, the minimum sentence for murder in South Africa, which no longer has the death penalty.

South Koreans travel to North for reunions Reunions, first since February 2014, are a bitter reminder that the peninsula is still in a technical state of war pening because North Korea didn’t go ahead with threats to conduct a satellite launch earlier this month.

The launch would have likely cancelled the reunions because Seoul and Washington see such firings as cover for banned tests of long-range missile technology.

Kim Yong-ok, a South Korean participant, said Monday she would attend the reunion because her brother in the North was looking for her. She hadn’t known he was still alive.

“It was a real surprise,” she said.

“After I heard from him, my heart became full of emotion.”

The reunions are extremely emotional because most people who apply for them are in their 70s or older and are desperate to see their loved ones before they die. Nearly half of the 130,410 South Koreans who have applied to attend a reunion have died. Past reunions saw the elderly weeping and hugging each other and asking for details about their lives and other loved ones before being separated again.

South Korea uses a computerized lottery system to pick participants while North Korea reportedly chooses based on loyalty to its authoritarian leadership.

HYUNG-JIN KIM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — Hundreds of South Koreans headed to North Korea on Tuesday for temporary reunions with family members most haven’t had word of since the turmoil of the Korean War more than 60 years ago.

The reunions, the first since February of last year, are a bitter reminder that the Korean Peninsula is still in a technical state of war because the 1950-53 fighting ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. The Koreas bar ordinary citizens from visiting relatives living on the other side of the border and even from exchanging letters, phone calls and emails without government permission.

About 390 South Koreans, some in wheelchairs, arrived Tuesday morning at a South Korean immigration office on the world’s most heavily fortified border.

“Have a nice trip,” shouted South Korean Red Cross officials wearing yellow vests as the elderly men and women entered the immigration office in the border town of Goseong.

South Korean participants said they were taking long johns, medicine, parkas, calligraphy works and cash

with them to give to their family members in the North as presents.

They will meet with children, siblings, spouses and other relatives for three days. About 140 North Koreans were expected to show up, according to Seoul’s Unification Ministry.

In a second round, from Saturday until Monday, about 250 South Koreans are to visit the mountain resort to reunite with about 190 North Korean relatives, the Unification Ministry said.

The rivals in August agreed to

resume family reunions during talks to end a standoff caused when land mine blasts blamed on Pyongyang maimed two South Korean soldiers.

They have a history of failing to follow through with co-operation projects, but these reunions are hap-

BACK IN THE GAME Blue Jays hammer Cueto, cut Royals lead to 2-1 in ALCS NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

T

oronto’s power outage ended Monday, allowing the Blue Jays to get one foot out of the hole they dug for themselves in Kansas City.

Troy Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson and Ryan Goins homered as the Jays battered Royals ace Johnny Cueto en route to an 11-8 Toronto win that cut Kansas City’s lead to 2-1 in the American League Championship Series.

The Royals, who outhit Toronto 15-11, rallied for four runs in the ninth but it was too little, too late.

“We desperately needed that breakout,” said a relieved Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “You look at how the game finished up, those runs really came in handy.

“It wasn’t an easy game, even though we had a big lead.”

The Royals won 5-0 and 6-3 in Kansas City, handcuffing a Jays offence that had led the majors in averaging

5.5 runs a game during the regular season. But the bats came alive in Game 3 in front of a loud sellout Rogers Centre crowd of 49,751.

Tulowitzki, Donaldson and Goins combining for nine RBI on a night where the 11 runs scored set a Toronto franchise record in a home post-season game.

It marked the third time in Jays’ playoff history that the team has

scored 10 or more runs. The three homers matched a franchise single-game playoff mark.

It also was the first time Toronto has won a post-season game when allowing 15 hits.

Apart from the Royals rally, the lone sour note was Tulowitzki’s ejection after taking the field in the eighth, for chirping home plate umpire John Hirschbeck. The Jays shortstop, who had to be held back by bench coach DeMarlo Hale, had just struck out for the second time and wasn’t happy about it. Neither was the crowd.

“I think it was obvious I didn’t agree with the called third strike.

And there were other pitches that were questionable,” said Tulowitzki, who felt the ejection was unwarranted.

“Obviously he’s been an umpire for a long time. He’s a good one at that.

And so I am surprised,” he added.

After giving up a run to Kansas City in the first inning, Toronto sent eight

men to the plate in the second and nine in the third to build a 9-2 lead.

Goins, who had driven in two earlier runs, made it an even 10 with a solo shot in the fifth after the Royals added two of their own.

Birthday boy Jose Bautista, who turned 35, made it 11-4 with an RBI single in the eighth. The Royals added two runs on three hits and a sacrifice fly in the ninth off Liam Hendriks, forcing Gibbons to bring in closer Roberto Osuna.

Kendrys Morales then hit a two-run homer to make it interesting.

For Goins, it was an evening of redemption after a fielding blunder that opened the door to the Royals winning rally in Game 2 Saturday.

He did damage with the bat and showed off his silky fielding skills.

For Tulowitzki, who is still feeling the effects of a late-season shoulder injury, it was a second straight successful outing at the plate after a playoff slump.

For Cueto, it was simply a night to

forget. He was pulled after giving up four runs in the third when he failed to get out the five hitters he faced.

He retired just six of the 17 batters he faced.

“They just beat me today,” he said through an interpreter.

“I felt great in the bullpen, my pitches were down, I felt great.

When I got into the game, God only knows,” he added.

Cueto gave up eight runs on six hits with four walks, one hit batsman and two strikeouts in two innings.

He threw 69 pitches, of which only 39 were strikes.

In going down in flames, Cueto set a Royals record for runs allowed in a post-season game. And he became the first pitcher in post-season history to allow at least eight earned runs and 11 base-runners in two or fewer innings pitched, according to ESPN Stats.

“He couldn’t command the ball down. He was up all night long,” said Royals manger Ned Yost.

LACROSSE

Raiders will play for the title

T-Men make trade, bring home Clark

With a win over the Langley Rams, it’s off to the championship game against the Sun

DAILY NEWS SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

After a year away from the championship game, all is well again in Raider-land.

The Vancouver Island Raiders beat the Langley Rams 28-27 Saturday at Caledonia Park in the B.C. Football Conference semifinal, booking their tickets to the Cullen Cup title game.

But it doesn’t get any easier — the championship game will be on the road Sunday against an unbeaten Okanagan Sun team that beat the Kamloops Broncos 75-7 in the other semifinal.

The V.I. win, under first-year head coach Jerome Erdman, keeps the Raiders’ streak of never going two years without an appearance in the conference championship game alive.

It was a game with four lead-changes, and one that saw the Raiders come back from deficits of 17-7 and 24-21, and survive two clock-eating Langley drives.

“We knew it wasn’t over at all,” said Raiders receiver Dustin Rodriguez, who had two touchdowns, including a 56-yard catch-and-run that held up as the game-winning score.

“We’ve been playing in games like this all year so we knew that we had to keep our head up and stick with it.”

Rodriguez was the top receiver in the semifinal, catching six balls for 133 yards.

Arthur Fabbro also had 116 receiving yards, including a touchdown.

Rookie safety Cole Virtanen led the Raiders’ defence with six tackles and an itnerception.

The Rams, though, had their chan-

ces to win it. In the third quarter, they drove virtually the length of the field only to have a pass picked off by safety Adam McDonald in the endzone.

Then, in the fourth quarter, a Lang-

ley touchdown was called back on a holding call that forced the Rams to settle for a field goal, their final points of the game.

“They never gave up,” Erdman said. “They kept battling. We were in adverse situations at times, but they kept believing and working hard, like we’ve been preaching on them from Day 1. Good things are going to happen when you do that.”

After Raiders quarterback Liam O’Brien threw a first-half interception, the Raiders were down 17-7.

But the reigning All-Canadian quarterback bounced back with a deep touchdown pass to O’Brien, and another to Arthur Fabbro.

He said he was able to put the mistakes behind him.

“You have to be able to just flush it away,” O’Brien said. “I know we made mistakes, but try not to worry about them and just trust yourself.”

Now, after falling in the semifinal last season, O’Brien and the Raiders will play for the conference championship and a spot in the Canadian Bowl.

The Cullen Cup will be played at 1 p.m. Sunday at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl.

“It’s huge,” O’Brien said. “I’ve lived for this my whole life.”

Colton Clark is bringing his talents back to Nanaimo — the local Western Lacrosse Association team has made sure of it.

The Nanaimo Timbermen swung a trade Sunday with the New Westminster Salmonbellies for Clark and two fourth-round draft picks, one in 2016 and another in 2017.

Going the other way are 2015 Timbermen draft picks Brett Dobray and Quinn Mackay, who didn’t report to Nanaimo last season.

Dobray was Nanaimo’s third draft pick, eighth overall, while Mackay went in the third round.

Clark played his Junior A lacrosse in Nanaimo, posting 186 points in 61 games.

He was drafted third overall in the 2011 WLA draft by the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

Playing all 18 games with New Westminster last season, Clark was second on the team with 18 goals and 14 assists.

The offensive right-hander also recently signed with the National Lacrosse League’s Vancouver Stealth, where he will play under Kaleb Toth, the Timbermen head coach who runs the Stealth offence.

He started his career in the NLL with the Colorado Mammoth.

BCHL

Rempal continues to dominate in Clippers win game against the Cowichan Valley Capitals at 7 p.m. Friday at Frank Crane Arena.

SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Give Sheldon Rempal some open ice, and he can solve a lot of problems. Anyone who forgot that saw it first-hand Sunday afternoon when he scored three goals in a 4-2 win over the Chilliwack Chiefs.

“When somebody scores goals like that, it helps,” Nanaimo Clippers head coach Mike Vandekamp said Sunday.

After being held off the score sheet in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the expansion Wenatchee Wild on home ice, every time the third-year veteran was left alone by the Chiefs, he delivered.

“We were obviously a little bit bitter because we had the potential to win that game,” Rempal said of the loss to Wenatchee. “So I was definitely motivated to come out (Sunday) and get the victory.”

His first goal Sunday came on a powerplay when he brought the puck down the right wing, swung around behind the net and scored on a wrap-around.

Then, on a five-on three, he beat Chilliwack goalie Aidan Pelino shortside with a quick wrist shot.

With the Chiefs pushing to tie the game late in the third period, he got some luck as the puck flipped off his

stick, over the back of Chilliwack back-up goalie Matteo Esposito, and into the net for the hat trick.

He left the weekend alone at the top of the BCHL scoring list with 28 points in 12 games, and also took over as the league’s top goal scorer with 12.

He’s feeling as confident as ever.

“For sure,” Rempal said. “We’ve got

good chemistry on our line so I’ve got to give a lot of credit to them.

“Without them, I don’t think I’d be where I’m at right now. But things are going well, and I’m just happy to get the win. We had a tough loss Saturday night.”

Rempal and the Clippers now have some time off, but they continue their five-game home stand with a

Before Rempal went on his tear Sunday, Clippers forward Matt Creamer scored his first goal of the year, and his first in Junior A hockey.

“We need to get scoring from all over and it was nice to see Matt score his first goal,” Vandekamp said.

Creamer, an 18-year-old left-winger from Warwick, R.I., came to the Clippers in the summer with a college commitment in hand to Quinnipiac.

He spent last season in the U.S. Premier Hockey League, but it took him 12 games to get his first goal.

“We’ve seen some other guys chip in here in the last little while, so we’re starting to turn the corner a little bit,” Vandekamp said.

Defenceman Jordan Low leaves on ‘personal hiatus’ Clippers defenceman Jordan Low has not played in his team’s last four games, and Vandekamp said the

19-year-old is on a “personal hiatus” from the Clippers, but did not elaborate as to why.

Low was brought in via trade from the Prince George Spruce Kings early in the season last year in exchange for Ryan Fritz.

He played the bulk of the season for the Clippers in 2014-15, but only got into one playoff game.

Asked if there is a chance Low will return to the team, Vandekamp said “we’ll see.”

With current Nanaimo defencemen Adam Pilotte and Kale Bennett sitting out with injuries, it has become tough on the Clippers. They have used forward Spencer Hewson at times, and have also called up Jake Calverly from the Nanaimo Buccaneers and Shawn Guison from the major midget Okanagan Rockets.

“Losing as many D as we have in the last little while has been hard on the team in general,” Vandekamp said, “so I think if we can get the D core healthy, I think you could see us turn a corner over the next 10 games and hopefully see us a become a more consistent team.”

Lamar Odom alert, improving SALLY HO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — Lamar Odom is alert and his condition is improving after the former NBA star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel a week ago, his family said Monday.

Alvina Alston, publicist for Odom’s aunt JaNean Mercer, said the former reality-TV personality is undergoing testing, but there is no word yet on when he might be released from the hospital. Odom is overcoming “insurmountable obstacles” and defying the odds, Mercer said in a statement.

“Each day Lamar is getting stronger and reaching significant milestones in his recovery,” the statement said.

Odom was found in extremely critical condition at the Love Ranch brothel in the rural community of Crystal, Nev., on Oct. 13 and was hospitalized in Las Vegas. He regained consciousness and communicated for the first time Friday.

The brothel said workers saw him drink alcohol and take supplements sold as “herbal Viagra.” The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning in 2013 against one brand he took, Reload, after it was found to contain sildenafil, the active ingredient in prescription Viagra.

He also told at least one of the women that he had done cocaine, but the brothel says it did not see him take any drugs or find any there.

Former NHLer O’Sullivan opens up about years of abuse from father LORI EWING THE CANADIAN PRESS

P

atrick O’Sullivan has a strong aversion to baked beans. The smell of freshly-cut grass can send him into an emotional tailspin.

And even when he played in the National Hockey League, and the days of being beaten by his dad were behind him, he still instinctively scanned the crowd for his face in the arena every night.

The 30-year-old O’Sullivan seemed destined for hockey greatness, but it all went horribly wrong at the hands of his father.

In Breaking Away: A Harrowing True Story of Resilience, Courage and Triumph, O’Sullivan writes in unflinching detail about a childhood of physical abuse and emotional cruelty. His hope is that people start talking about what happens in some homes after the lights of the arena of turned off.

“I think it’s a story that is far too common — maybe not as extreme as mine — but there’s a lot of people, parents or even coaches that think they’re going to be the difference-maker in their kid making it, whether it sports or music or whatever,” O’Sullivan said. “You do a lot more harm than you do good.

“It’s important because the subject involved is kids, and they don’t have a voice of their own, they can’t change their circumstances, someone needs to do that for them.

“There’s a lot of people that don’t even know it goes on, it’s a very private thing, ‘it’s not my business anyways.’ A lot of people don’t want to know because it puts them in a tough spot. They think they saw something, they’re not sure, they don’t want to know anymore.

That’s got to change.”

O’Sullivan had a ton of promise.

He was the OHL and CHL rookie of the year in 2002, and the AHL’s

“I never knew exactly what was next, but I knew it was going to be bad.“ Patrick O’Sullivan

top rookie in 2005. He remains the all-time leader in games, goals, assists and points for the Mississauga/Niagara IceDogs franchise.

He played 334 NHL games over eights seasons with Los Angeles, Edmonton, Carolina, Minnesota and Phoenix. He played in three world junior championships, scoring the winning goal to lift the United States over Canada for gold in 2004.

But away from the spotlight he lived a nightmare. In “Breaking Away,” written with Gare Joyce and released this week, O’Sullivan describes the years of abuse, and the frustration with those who turned a blind eye.

He recounts, in gag-inducing detail, a dinner of Spam and baked beans his dad John — nicknamed “Crazy John” over the course of his failed hockey career — served him.

When O’Sullivan vomited up the meal, his dad forced him to eat it.

The horrific cycle repeated several times. O’Sullivan was eight at the time.

There were nights he was locked outside until morning. He was forced to run, weighed down by his sweaty equipment, behind his dad’s van after games. He was woken up in the night to do “pushups until my arms gave out . . . situps until my stomach cramped.”

“When I came off the ice after practice or a game, I never knew exactly what was next, but I knew it was going to be bad,” O’Sullivan writes.

“I’d be looking at an hour or two or more of my father’s condi-

tioning program, running the steps in the arena stands like a hamster on a treadmill or chasing after the van for two or three miles. If he didn’t think that was toughening me up, he’d slap me around. Every year he was ramping it up: slap in the face when I was eight; a slap with more force and a kick in the ass when I was nine; a punch when I was 10; a big right hook on my jaw and a kick in the gut or ribs until I was gasping when I was eleven, twelve and thirteen.”

O’Sullivan was born in Toronto but grew up largely in the U.S. He was already living the life of a hockey drifter, he said, by age nine, moving towns and teams each season as his dad wore out one welcome after another.

Fearing for his life one night at age 16, O’Sullivan fought back. He eventually got a restraining order, and when he attended the 2003 NHL draft — which saw him freefall from a projected top-five talent way down to 56th overall — he was flanked by two security guards.

O’Sullivan said he’ll carry the emotional scars forever. Sitting in a coffee shop in a posh Toronto hotel, he fidgeted in his seat. He said he has trouble sitting still.

There are certain triggers, like the smell of freshly-cut grass. He was regularly beaten after cutting the lawn if his job was not up to his dad’s impossible standards.

“A lot of things around the game of hockey too, certain smells at the arena, stuff like that,” he said.

“If you push a kid really hard, and then they decide to stop playing, I think a lot of people think it’s over then, but it’s a life-long thing, and it’s day to day. For me, each day, things happen and now I’m at the point where I can recognize the triggers. Kids that are abused, it doesn’t go away when they become adults.

“It’s the worst thing you can do for a kid.”

CANUCKS

RUGBY WORLD CUP

Brandon Prust still working to find his stride in Vancouver

Late call costs Scots shot at the semifinal

Ben Kuzma The Province

T

he golf-ball lump on his ankle still looks like a Titleist. And it’s why, upon further review, you can grant Brandon Prust a mulligan for not taking an impressive NHL pre-season swing.

It was more like a shank. Or maybe a slice.

When the Vancouver Canucks’ fourth-line winger noticed his ankle was swollen halfway through the summer from irritation caused by the rubbing of his skate against the bone, Prust required surgery to remove a cyst. It not only curtailed critical off-season conditioning, he wasn’t able to skate until the end of August. And when Prust arrived in Prince George for training camp on Sept. 17 after medicals, his agenda was different than most.

“I was about three or four weeks behind and I kind of used the exhibition for conditioning and building and just kind of finding my rhythm,” says Prust.

“I seem to have found it a bit and I’ve just got to keep it going.

The surgery kind of set me back more than we thought and that’s why I’m just starting to find my stride. It (ankle) was sore. I changed my skates and have a lot more cushion in the ankle.

It’s good now.

“Even my conditioning seems to be getting better. And I’m starting to get more confidence, too.”

Not that Prust is complaining or making excuses.

You play on the fourth line, you accept the hacks and whacks, gamesmanship from potential punch-up partners, and aches and pains that come with staking your physical and enforcer-role claim in the game.

For Prust, that means taking a straight-line approach on the forecheck, creating havoc, and fighting when necessary. It’s not just being the return on the opening day of free agency, when he was acquired from Montreal in exchange for troubled wayward winger Zack Kassian and a fifth-round 2016 draft pick.

At 31, Prust is in the final year of a four-year contract that pays $2 million US this season — he’s a $2.5 million salary cap hit — and despite playing for the Calgary Flames, Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers and Canadiens, this is no ordinary season. He has played in 457 regular-season games and 53 in the postseason, but knows the

Canucks are trending younger.

Prust is one of seven expiring contracts on the current roster and as much as he can contribute to help getting his current club back to the playoffs, he might be an attractive rental player at the March trade deadline if the Canucks falter.

Prust isn’t planning on that.

Maybe that’s why he’s already fought three times this season and was promoted to the second line last Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Willie Desjardins said it was for physical matchup purposes, but Prust had some jump in his game and Sven Baertschi didn’t.

“Emotionally. I’m more into it and once the points start counting, my game improves,” says Prust, who fought Brandon Bollig in the season opener.

“That first game with Calgary was a big rivalry and Dorse (Derek Dorsett) had a big fight and you want to get your feet wet with a new team and earn respect within your team and the division.

“The next two (fights) were kind of guys looking for me, and I don’t like to say no too often.”

That approach will earn Prust some trust from Desjardins.

The Canucks coach is big on a four-line system and although the current alignment looks more old school with Adam Cracknell in the middle and Dorsett on the right side — meaning forecheck ferociously, don’t take a penalty and don’t get scored upon — Cracknell has two goals through six games, Prust three assists and Dorsett an empty-net goal.

Averaging 12:03 of ice time speaks to the confidence that Prust is gaining from a bench boss who isn’t afraid to deploy the trio in any situation. Desjardins also uses Cracknell and Prust on the penalty kill.

“You’re trying to make your mark and earn more ice time and every day you want to prove you can be put out there in critical situations,” says Prust.

“As lot of guys here don’t know too much about me.”

What they do know is Prust is a gamer. He was obviously shocked by the trade and wondered aloud about the rationale and whether his exit had anything to do with how protective the Canadiens are about their brand and image.

Some suggested Prust may have irked management when he was fined $5,000 for calling out referee Brad Watson following a Game 2 playoff series loss to Tampa Bay last May. To his credit, Prust apologized for the heated on-ice exchange. but the fire in his belly shouldn’t be confused with a player who can’t be controlled or relied upon. If anything, Prust’s passion is part of what attracted the Canucks. On an optional gameday skate Sunday, Prust emerged from a gym workout at Rogers Arena with his body and mind in the right place to do battle once again.

“You know, when you get this age maintenance is big and you have to make sure you take care of the body,” says the London, Ont., native, a 2004 third-round pick of the Flames. “It’s a big year for me individually, but team-wise everything is still the same. I come into every game with the same routine of how I prepare.”

And how he plays. Hard.

Honest.

What you may, or may not, know about Canucks fourthliner Brandon Prust PRUST IS A PRANKSTER With the departure of Ryan Kesler and Kevin Bieksa, he has already assumed the mantle of

the King of Comedy.

“You definitely go after the rookies. I haven’t pulled too many pranks, but the rookies will tell you when we landed in California (Oct. 11), I made them take their shirts off and go off the plane with just their blazers on. No shirts underneath.

“I just thought it was something funny. It’s just part of the rookie’s job.”

BLUE JAYS ALL THE WAY Prust played baseball until age 12, but loves watching the game and has struck up a friendship with Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin.

“People are amazed that I’ll just sit down on my couch and watch a whole game, whether it’s Game 20 or Game 160. I like the pitcher duels and the pitcher-batter duels and the history of the game. I’m Jays all the way.

Martin is from Montreal and my girl (fiancée Maripier Morin) has know him for years.”

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ROMANCE Yes, that’s Prust and his fiancée as a featured couple on the Hockey Wives reality TV show on the W Network.

They gained much notoriety last season for their relationship that ran the gambit of balancing emotional professional careers — she’s a Quebec TV host and personality — with his life in the Montreal Canadiens’ fishbowl. They got engaged in June and then Prust was dealt to the Canucks.

It’s going to make for mustsee TV for this season of Hockey Wives.

Says Prust: “It’s a lot of work this season with me getting traded and you’ll see her bawling her eyes out.”

Morin was in Vancouver last weekend and saw Sunday’s game.

JOHN PYE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — With a monumental upset seemingly only seconds away, referee Craig Joubert blew his whistle and awarded a penalty against Scotland, Europe’s last remaining hope in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals.

Bernard Foley then calmly guided his place kick between the uprights to give Australia a 35-34 win in a match it had been expected to dominate Sunday to complete the set of southern hemisphere semifinalists following weekend wins by New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina over northern hemisphere rivals.

The thunderous booing echoing around Twickenham drowned out the standing ovation that Scotland deserved. Joubert departed hastily, sparking savage criticism from fans on social media and former test players including Scotland great Gavin Hastings.

It was that kind of week for the Scotland team, which had been given very little chance of beating the Wallabies. Scotland placed last in the Six Nations, and only narrowly held off Samoa last weekend to secure second spot in Pool B. Forwards Ross Ford and Jonny Gray were banned for three weeks for a dangerous tackle against Samoa, but reinstated at the last minute after winning appeals.

A second-half yellow card for winger Sean Maitland for a 50-50 decision on a deliberate knock-on — ruled on by the television match official — was also costly.

“It’s very hard to take. It’s a very upset dressing room,” said Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw, who kicked 19 points. “We were one kick away from being in the semifinals and arguably we should have been there.”

After falling behind in the ninth minute, then taking the lead in the 18th and hanging on to a 16-15 buffer at the break, Scotland fell behind when Australia scored a fourth try — soon after Maitland left for the sin bin — and later trailed by eight points with 15 minutes to go before another comeback. In all, the Scots conceded five tries to the Australians, and crossed for three themselves — including Mark Bennett’s intercept that gave Scotland a 34-32 lead.

Seahawks left searching for answers after blown lead TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — Earl Thomas could not wait to get to his team meeting on Monday.

Players had to air out what has gone wrong with the Seattle Seahawks. “We’re not being (ourselves),�

Thomas said. “I think we’re distracted in some areas. I think today is a big day for us.�

All is not right with the two-time

defending NFC champions. Their weeks are now being spent explaining what’s gone wrong. That’s the result of a 2-4 start that has featured two straight fourth-quarter collapses that simply have not happened in the past. For a team with “Finish� as one of their mottos, the Seahawks are not living up to one of their core tenets.

And there’s little time to get the problem fixed with a Thursday night game at San Francisco on the docket. “Not finishing these last two games

were really crucial. We’ve got to get better at the end,� Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Monday. “The execution that got us in the lead and put us in position early in the game just needs to continue. We don’t really need to do anything different. We need to continue the execution and not let it fall where they take advantage of the last quarter, which has happened.�

The latest collapse came Sunday when the Seahawks led 23-14 with less than 12 minutes remaining

and walked out of their home stadium baffled by a 27-23 loss to the Panthers, punctuated by a miscommunication on Greg Olsen’s winning 26-yard touchdown catch with 32 seconds left. Instead of staying with Olsen, All-Pros Thomas and Richard Sherman were caught playing two different coverages after getting mixed signals. The result was Olsen running uncovered. “Our communication now is really at a high level, and unfortunately

you can make a mistake, and we did,� Carroll said. “We let them down there before that all happened, and they already were in field goal range and all that. We hadn’t done the right things earlier, but that was a big mistake.�

The collapse against Carolina might not sting as much if the same thing hadn’t happened just a week earlier and on an even grander scale. The Seahawks led Cincinnati 24-7 in the fourth quarter, only to lose 27-24.
