OTTAWA — The violence Michael Zehaf Bibeau visited upon an unsuspecting Ottawa one year ago not only killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, but irrevocably altered the way Martin Magnan looks at his own life and the people around him.

Magnan, 47, is a dapper, softspoken, thoughtful man.

A year ago, he was a well-regarded media adviser at National Defence on his way to a meeting when Zehaf Bibeau popped out from behind the National War Memorial to gun down Cirillo before storming Parliament Hill.

Magnan was among six people who risked their own lives to aid the mortally wounded soldier.

They were a mixture of civilian and military — a trauma nurse, a former battle group commander in Afghanistan and the driver for the country’s chief of defence staff.

It was Magnan who held Cirillo’s hand as the young soldier died.

“You know, I have children,” he said Wednesday in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“I was really thinking at that point — as I grabbed his hand — that if anything like this ever happened to any of my children I’d really hope a stranger would hold their hand as they went through to the other side.”

Although, paramedics arrived and continued CPR, Magnan said it was evident to him and some of the other rescuers that Cirillo’s wounds were too severe and that he had passed away at

the foot of the soaring granite monument.

He sat on the edge of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as the young reservist was taken away to the ambulance, and remembers looking up at the bronze faces of the soldiers represented in the memorial.

“I see them cart away Nathan and people are kind of dispersing,” Magnan said. “There’s bags on the ground. And then, my hands are shaking. I’m getting kind of cold and I just look up at the stone face. And I look up higher and see the tip of the statue. That was probably the coldest, loneliest moment of my life.”

Everyone who came to Cirillo’s aid was taken to the Ottawa police station for an interview; Magnan was among the last of the initial six to questioned. As he was leaving, witnesses from the shooting on the Hill itself were lining up for questioning and that’s when the enormity of the day’s events settled on him.

“I had no idea who these people and they were all talking about the shooting at Parliament,” he said.

“At that point, I’m like, ’Wow, that’s where he went. That’s what happened next.’ It was a second overwhelming wave because you realize this was an attack on government. This real-

ly happened.”

The events of that traumatic day still live with him. Magnan, who went on to be press secretary to the outgoing veterans minister, Erin O’Toole, says the shooting has given him a much keener appreciation of what soldiers go through when they lose a friend.

Five of the six strangers who tended to Cirillo went to his funeral in Hamilton, Ont., and have bonded over their collective experience.

Although he thinks about Cirillo often, it has been the return of the cool fall air and the falling leaves that have brought the memories crashing back.

COLLIERY DAMS

City approves terms for investigation SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Children play in Colliery Dam Park in May. The controversy surrounding the dams continues in Nanaimo. [AARON HINKS/DAILY NEWS]

◆ COURTS

Parents have charges stayed Property-related charges have been dropped against the parents of a man convicted of multiple break and enters in Nanaimo Monday.

Braiden Robert Rathy pled guilty to 49 counts of break and enter char-

The City of Nanaimo has approved the terms of reference for a planned independent investigation into the controversial Colliery dams issue, following a vote by council Monday night.

But the debate preceding the vote was perhaps foreshadowing of further political strife to arise from the topic, as a split council argued over the costs and benefits of the proposal. Council voted in the summer to construct an auxiliary spillway on the lower Colliery dam to bring the structure into compliance with provincial dam safety regulations, under threat of a provincial order and to strong opposition from some members of the community. The spillway construction is underway now.

City council also committed to an investigation outlining the events leading up to the decision as part of the motion to proceed with the work.

The issue has roots dating back to 2012, and has been a lightning rod in civic politics ever since.

Some on council said they want to

see the issue put to rest once and for all, rather than brought up again in costly investigation.

Coun. Wendy Pratt said she had been anxious to see council choose a remediation option for the dam and voted for the motion despite concerns about an investigation.

She called the proposed exercise “a waste of money” and said its main effect would be “dragging our community through the mud a little bit more.”

“I’d like to see this issue done,” she said.

Coun. Diane Brennan agreed.

“I don’t believe we have the support from the community to spend money this way,” Brennan said.

“People want us to get on with the business of the city.”

Coun. Ian Thorpe was also in agreement.

“I personally do not think that the time and money spent on this investigation will be worthwhile,” he said.

Others disagreed.

“All I can say is that I’m just disappointed with council right now,” said Coun. Jerry Hong.

Hong suggested the investigation was key to helping the city understand what mistakes were made leading up to a decision on the lower Colliery dam, warning the city could face similar issues with the middle Colliery dam in the future.

Coun. Bill Yoachim echoed the statement.

“I need accountability and the citizens if this city need accountability,” he said.

Coun. Bill Bestwick said “fear-mongering” on the Colliery dams issue was the reason why there are calls for an investigation, while acting mayor Gord Fuller said: “I personally do not think this is strong enough.”

Mayor Bill McKay and Coun. Jim Kipp were absent for the vote.

Questions on of the efficacy on the proposed investigation remain. City manager Ted Swabey said the cost would likely exceed $50,000 and also said that no one could be forced to take part in the exercise.

‘Always get a kiss goodnight’ among the many pearls of wisdom

I

n the 1994 motion picture, Forest Gump, Tom Hanks famously said, “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”

It was a simple comparison that created a deep thought.

Words of wisdom are an invaluable resource that are often shared or passed down like a family Aaron heirloom.

Hinks A group of Nanaimo seniors Reporting agreed to share small thoughts, pieces of life advice, or their keys to happiness with our readers.

Darlene Bitmann, 85, and her husband, Herman, 91 (married for 67 years) He’s a good husband, we think alcohol is not good for us. I quit smoking 35 years ago for myself,

NEEVE

Herman never smoked in his life.

The key is to never go to bed mad, never. Always get a kiss goodnight every night and always say good morning in the morning. That’s our ritual, and do unto others as they unto you.

Eugenia Taggart, 92 I’ve always been interested in people, especially younger people on new adventures. The balance of having a wonderful career as well as a strong relationship with your family is important. I think it’s wonderful to have a loving and nurturing family. So many people don’t

have that. My parents loved each other. We had no money coming up in the depression, maybe that was an advantage. Marry someone who loves you just as much as you love them.

turn the other cheek and smile.

Elizabeth: Make the best of what you’ve got and keep going. The grass will always be greener on the other side, but it always grows back.

Max Abbott, 91 I’ve come to the conclusion that the best way that I can live my life is to take it one moment at a time, which is difficult. I’ve tried my best to take it one day at a time because if you stop and think about it — and I’ve thought about it a lot — it doesn’t matter how old you are. We start dying from our first breath, when the time comes, there’s nothing you can do about it.

Eva Brethlor, 94 The only thing that I live by is be thankful each day that you get out of bed and enjoy people. Don’t hold a grudge to anybody. You might think it, but let it go. I feel very fortunate. We lived a very fortunate and happy life. I met my husband in Canada, we were married for 59 years before he passed. It was a good time. When I say that, it wasn’t perfect, we had our disagreements, but we didn’t carry it on and go to bed with it, we just passed it.

Bruce Brighton, 90 I don’t know what the key to happiness is, I’m happy most of the time. I think the opposite end would be feeling sorry for yourself.

focus to obtain financial safety. Because of this recent TSFA thing, instead of RSPs, I’d strongly recommend getting involved in TSFA wise as early as possible and for long as possible. A general rule, if you can obtain financial suitability in your life you have accomplished a fair amount. And the old standards; look after your health.

Now I don’t know what that entails but how you look after your health is a question I’m not sure anybody can honestly answer.

Anonymous, 88 I’m going to quote the pope, say please, thank you, and sorry. If you want to have a good relationship with people don’t forget to say please, thank you, and sorry. It says it all. When you have a good relationship with people, you are a happy person. You know you have something strong inside of you.

Bea Rennie, 84 Keep busy. People that have nothing to do get down and depressed, deteriorate. Staying busy keeps your body healthy and keeps your mind healthy. You have to keep your body and mind going.

COVER STORY

More hours of instructional time to be removed from school calendar

Advice: ‘If you’re miserable, you will always be miserable’

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Another 10 hours of instructional time will be removed from the school calendar this year in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district.

The Ministry of Education is mandating the time for all school districts in the province to allow time to educate teachers about new curriculum that will be fully implemented in B.C. schools next year.

The province’s School Act requires a minimum of 853 hours of instructional time for kindergarten students, 878 for Grades 1-7 and 952 for Grades 8-12 each year, and it’s up to each district to determine how those hours are made up.

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith district has already been struggling to keep up to the minimum hours.

John Blain, the acting superintendent, acknowledged last February it was estimated that as many as

RAE

two-thirds of the district’s schools may not have been in compliance with the School Act in regards to instructional times.

A committee was formed at the time, led by Blain and consisting of district stakeholders, to study the issue and make recommendations to the school board.

The committee was making head-

way, but a letter from a number of district parents this week said that it is “incredibly disappointing” to see the district having to face further cuts to its instructional time.

“Our district was so close to the minimum hours but this puts us under again,” the letter stated.

“Certainly last spring our district leaders were aware of the incoming curriculum and teacher training requirements, yet they failed to plan properly.”

Blain was unavailable for comment by press time, but school board chairman Steve Rae said the district has no choice but to set aside the time.

“We need to teach the teachers about the new curriculum,” Rae said.

WISDOM, From Page 4 Don’t forget to say please, thank you and sorry — I love that. You also need to know how to forgive. If you can’t forgive — you don’t have to forget — but if you can’t forgive, then you’re in bad shape. Kindness and a smile, it doesn’t cost anything.

Norm Henderson, 97 Work to find the work that you love. You have to find work that you enjoy. I was in the optical business from the time I was 16. I retired when I was 70 because I loved what I was doing every day. I was making eyeglasses for people in the lab. I’d make the lens so it had a certain power to it that followed the doctors prescription.

They put on the pair of glasses, “It’s wonderful,” they would say because they could see now. It was such a thrill. That happened to me all my life. That was my pay.

Audrey Smith, 86 Patience is important.

Sometimes you say something you wish you never said. Words can hurt more than anything. It’s not good to say too much.

Francis Gessner, 88 Hang in there and don’t give up until you reach your goal.

Sometimes people set goals later in life.

I think when you’re around 20 you can change your mind a lot of times of what you want out of life.

You have to be a happy person. If you’re miserable, you will always be miserable. You never know what life brings you and that’s just the way it is.

Contractor sought for city core review DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo council has sent a request for a consultant to conduct a core review of the city out to tender.

Councillors voted unanimously Monday to begin the search for a contractor for the project, which is expected to begin later this year.

City legislators approved draft terms of reference for the process in late September, after working with a separate consultant, Roshan Danesh, for months to agree on the scope of the project.

Mayor Bill McKay and Coun. Jim Kipp were not present for the vote Monday. But a core review has broad support around the council table and was designated as the top priority for the city.

McKay has said that once a contractor is chosen, the city will move “full steam ahead” on the review, which is intended to give officials insight into how to cut costs and improve operations and service delivery.

However, Danesh told council in a recent memo that the previous cost estimate of $200,000 was likely on the low side of the scale.

Danesh also said the previous completion time of four to six months was likely too short, adding he expected a review would likely take eight to 12 months.

STAY OFF THE GRASS! How treading lightly can save your three ears Hanan Merrill, Nanaimo Hearing Clinic That’s right, I said three ears. And no, I realize you’re not a freakishly endowed mutant that’s somehow eluded the probing grasp of medical science. Now if you’d just read on, I’ll show you why it’s so important to protect the grass in your ears.

What?! You’ve seriously never heard of the grass in your ears? OK, it looks like I’ll have to begin a bit earlier than I’d intended . . .

An introduction to ear grass

Hanan Merrill, RHIP*, Shelagh Merrill, Office Admin.

Nestled within the warm fluid of your inner ear are thousands of microscopic hair cells that convert sound into electrical signals to be processed by your brain. We in the hearing industry refer to these cells as “grass” because it’s easier to say than “neural receptor cells” and because they’re actually similar to grass in a lot of ways.

Think about the grass on your front lawn. If you walk on it gently, it’s going to be fine. Drive over it with your car once or twice and it should bounce back with no permanent damage. But if the “professional” roofers you hired on Craigslist drive their Cummins-powered diesel repeatedly over your lawn to access the oversized rubbish bin that they dumped unceremoniously in front of your living room window, your lawn will be no more.

Like your lawn, the “grass” in your ears is designed to be walked on gently by soft- and medium-volume sounds. It’s not designed to be trampled continually by loud noises. The louder the sound, the quicker the damage. Unlike your lawn, however, you can’t reseed the grass in your ears; any damage is permanent.

As your ear grass sustains damage, you gradually lose the ability to hear light sounds, such as the soft consonants that make speech sound clear. So words art ounding ike his. This process is so gradual that you probably won’t even notice it’s happening. You’ll just become increasingly annoyed by conversations, argue continually with your spouse and be frequently accused of not listening. Eventually you’ll avoid social settings, your relationship will crumble, a baby panda will die and the happy life you once enjoyed will become a bile-filled cesspool of animosity and contempt.

But I digress . . .

Back to the three ears Last week I was conducting hearing tests on location at an industrial mill site where workers are continuously exposed to harmful levels of noise. Testing these workers regularly keeps the folks at WorksafeBC happy, but the real reason I’m doing it is to protect each worker’s three ears.

You’re familiar, of course, with the two ears that decorate the sides of your head. You’ve likely admired the satisfying curves of their cartilage and trusted that the rest of your hearing apparatus is tucked away neatly somewhere inside your head, protected by an unsettling quantity of earwax and the repeated admonitions of countless schoolteachers to “never stick anything in your ear that’s smaller than your elbow.”

These are, indeed, the first two of your three ears. These ears, though, are merely sensors that detect sounds and send them along a grassy path to your brain, which (ta-da!) is actually your third ear. Some, in fact, would say it’s your one true ear.

We’ve discussed how loud sounds can damage your “sensors.” Poorly functioning sensors deprive the brain of certain sounds, starting with those soft consonants. Ever heard the expression “Use it or lose it”? If your brain doesn’t receive the stimulation of certain sounds, it sees no need to maintain the ability to process them. And so the downward spiral of miscommunication is ever-exacerbated.

How to protect your third ear once your grass is trampled I’ve seen an encouraging trend within industrial workplaces. While there was once a time when it wasn’t “cool” to wear hearing protection, today’s workers seem increasingly keen to protect their hearing. As a result, we’re seeing dramatic improvements in hearing among industrial workers.

Protecting our first two ears may have improved, but protecting our third ear has a way to go – which is unfortunate since this is where true comprehension really occurs. Puzzling over crosswords and Sudoku can help keep your brain sharp, but if the grass in your ears has already been trampled by loud noises, there’s another way to help your brain preserve its ability to process the sounds it’s no longer receiving: hearing aids.

Yes, hearing aids. It’s time we recognized them for what they truly are: hearing protection. Hearing aids ensure that our true ear – the brain – receives a full range of sounds and continues to flex its hearing and understanding “muscle.” Use it or lose it.

Fortunately, societal attitudes toward hearing aids also seem to be improving. Many of today’s hearing aids are tiny, highly sophisticated computers, many of which sit almost imperceptibly inside the ear. Many of today’s devices can also connect via Bluetooth to your TV, iPad and cell phone. They’ll probably even connect to your sock drawer in the nottoo-distant future.

Stay connected Increasingly, the people coming through my door are saying things like,“I don’t want to be isolated like my parents are because they can’t hear well,” and,“If hearing aids will help me stay in tune with friends and family, then sign me up.” In short, they want to stay connected to their world for as long as possible.

If you want to stay connected to your world, and keep your third ear functioning well into your prime, call me anytime to book a free hearing assessment. I can help you better understand your hearing “protection” options and guide you toward choices that make sense for you. No pushy sales tactics, and no pressure to do anything you’re not ready for.

Promise.

In the meantime, please don’t trample the grass. After all, you only have three ears.

Ex-teen councillor elected as Liberal MP

10 DAYS ONLY! FROM OCTOBE R 15 —OCTOBE R 24

SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Terry Beech made Canadian history in 1999, when the then-18-year-old was elected to Nanaimo city council, making him the youngest elected official in the country’s history.

Beech helped make history again on Monday by getting elected as the new Liberal MP in the new riding of Burnaby-North Seymour as part of the party’s sweep across the electoral landscape.

Before taking his run at federal politics, Beech launched a successful business career, earning his MBA from Oxford and founding his own company, HiretheWorld.com.

Beech said he had been preparing for more than a year to run in the riding, a lesson he learned when running for city councillor in Nanaimo.

“I obviously feel great about the victory, it was the work of thousands of people,” he said.

“We also knew it was going to be a tight race from the get-go.”

Election promise gives hope to Tilray officials DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

The promise of legalized marijuana offers new hope to Nanaimo medical marijuana producer Tilray.

In December, Tilray was about to ramp up production to create 275 jobs at its Duke Point facility, when new competition — unlicensed dispensaries — started cutting into market share.

The Liberals pledged during the election campaign to legalize marijuana and regulate it so minors can’t access the drug.

Tilray CEO Greg Engels said with demand for the company’s medical marijuana curtailed by the proliferation of what he calls “alternative sources,” the company would con-

“The key moving forward is going to be both the federal and provincial government-level programs for regulation .”

sider entering the recreational cannabis market.

“The key moving forward is going to be both the federal, and provincial government-level programs for regulation,” he said. “The key is safety.”

Engels said working models already

exist in U.S. states where the drug is now legalized, and in other countries on a similar path.

“Hopefully government will reach out to stakeholders in existing systems,” he said.

Last year, Tilray bought additional land to expand operations adjacent to its existing Duke Point property.

While expansion plans were shelved due to a flourishing market of what Engels calls “unregulated” cannabis, the company still plans for growth.

The cannabis industry has considerable growth potential, according to a report from market analyst Martin Landry, of GMP Equity Research. During the election campaign, Justin Trudeau said he would start working on legalization

The report estimates the potential value of the Canadian recreational marijuana market as between $4 billion and $5 billion annually at maturity.

“As a point of reference, Health Canada estimated that by 2024 the market for medical marijuana could reach $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion annually,” according to the report, released Tuesday.

Conflict resolution presentation takes place tonight at university DAILY NEWS

Local mediator Donna Soules will de-mystify the world of conflict resolution with a presentation at Vancouver Island University tonight.

The presentation, titled Stuck in Conflict: Let’s Try Mediation, is part of a province-wide Conflict Resolution Week organized by Mediate B.C. It looks at what mediation is and how it can be used to effectively resolve disputes.

“The whole purpose of mediation is

to get people out of the court system because it is not that helpful. It’s expensive and most people who go to court don’t say ‘oh I’m so glad I did that, I found out I was wrong.’ And if it doesn’t go in their favour it just creates animosity and hardship,” said Soules.

Soules is joined by several other mediators at the VIU talk, which is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in building 180, room 340.

Safety concerns hold up walking trail plan for cyclists and pedestrians of every kind.

Eight kilometres of paved, mostly level walkway links Caledonia Street to Mostar Road.

It provides fitness opportunities and an alternate transportation route.

Last November, the city launched a planning process to extend the trail south from downtown.

The next phase would be the section between Franklyn and Seventh Streets, a segment just under two kilometres long.

Goodall said a city-hired consultant is now researching the requirements to ensure pedestrians and drivers will be safe if pedestrian crossings are located near level rail crossings.

Two key challenges exist for crosswalks near rail crossings: sufficient sightlines for drivers to see them when approaching and a requirement that vehicles cannot block rail tracks.

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

The plan for the southern leg of the E&N walking trail is held up by safety concerns.

The City of Nanaimo launched a public input process in early June in hopes of producing a final draft of the recommended route, with costs and phasing of the project to be ready to go before city council by late July.

Safety concerns stem from the close proximity of the railway to its urban surroundings, and where to put the trail crosswalks. “They will impact where the trail goes, so we want to make sure we have those taken care of,� said Geoff Goodall, city engineering and public works director. “If there’s any modification, we may have to go back to do more public consultation.�

In north Nanaimo, the city has turned a once weed-covered wasteland area into a popular pathway

If a bus driver starts to cross the tracks, only to become stranded there, over top of the tracks by a pedestrian, that pedestrian can unknowingly put bus passengers at risk for a train collision.

The E&N is provincially regulated, which means it’s guided by B.C.’s Railway Safety Act, which adopts the regulations, rules and standards of the federal Railway Safety Act. The consultant wants to determine the specific rules as it applies to the section of trail. “The plan is to get back to council late in 2015 or early 2016,� Goodall said.

VICTORIA

Calendars provide work for low-income residents KENDRA WONG VICTORIA NEWS

There will be a familiar face outside the London Drugs on Yates Street for the next few months.

For the past four years, Craig has sat outside the building selling calendars that highlight homelessness — in which half of the proceeds from the sale go back into his pocket. “There’s human contact. It brings out my humour doing this,� said Craig, a low-income Victoria resident, who did not want to publish his last name.

The Hope for Shadows project originated in Vancouver in 2003 to challenge the stigma and stereotypes that existed about the Downtown Eastside. Each year, the calendars feature photos taken by residents of the Downtown Eastside to share stories about their own community through their eyes.

Low-income or homeless people become vendors, purchase the calendars for $10, sell them for $20, and keep the profit.

The project expanded to Victoria a few years ago with roughly a dozen people selling calendars on Fort Street, in the Cook Street Village and outside the Bay

Centre. Vendors also sell Megaphone, a monthly magazine, for $2.

This year’s calendar, which launched last week, is a look back on the 12 years of the project’s history and how it has helped raise awareness about poverty, addiction and homelessness around the province.

Craig suffers from multiple-sclerosis. The program is his only source of income from October to January. In the past, he’s sold more than 60 calendars. “It gives me a good way to get out and meet new people,� said Craig, who sells the calendars from Wednesday to Sunday from roughly 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. “I just want to bring awareness about the homeless issue that is a major problem and let people know that we are advocates for them.�

Jessica Hannon, project lead for Megaphone’s Hope and Shadows project, said it has been successful in Victoria, adding not only does it provide employment but it also gives vendors a sense of employment.

Vendors will continue to see the calendars throughout the year on the streets of Victoria.

Best role models are those who are true to themselves

I

t’s interesting how so much of the public talk about role models seems to focus on the culture of celebrity.

As in, “Athlete Joe or Singer Jane is not being a very good role model for his/her legion of adoring young fans.”

It often comes after breathless “news” reports about a wealthy famous person in their early 20s getting into some trouble tied to overindulgence in drugs and/or alcohol.

Then we get the blow-by-blow coverage of the defiant or tearful press conference, the finger-wagging commentary from the sanctimonious talking heads and the surreptitious photos of the inevitable trip to rehab.

What we seldom get is any examination of whether these celebrities actually should have been, or were

ever intended to be, anybody’s role model to begin with.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield impressed two audiences in Nanaimo Tuesday: a group of paying customers at the Port Theatre, and a smaller, more intimate gathering of students at Vancouver Island University.

The first Canadian to ever walk in space, Hadfield is very conscious of the topic of role models and his position as one.

One of the many remarkable things about Hadfield is his seeming unremarkability. He is not TMZworthy — neither young, powerful, nor leading-man handsome.

A lean, unassuming 50-something man, Hadfield could easily pass for your grocer, your family doctor, or your mechanic.

Yet he has seen the Earth from the

cold vaccuum of space, thousands of kilometres above Vancouver Island and inspired millions through his efforts to share that experience.

And it happened for a reason. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be an astronaut and every day since, his decision-making has been based on whether or not his chosen path would take him closer to that goal. It’s not just about the big decisions, like applying to the space program, it is the little decisions like watching the TV programs that feed your passion.

In fact, Hadfield emphasized the importance of not neglecting the little decisions; they are not unimportant to your life, they are your life.

American psychologist and youth development expert Marilyn Price-Mitchell points to five factors

role models share in common. They are: passion and the ability to inspire; a clear set of values; a commitment to their community; selflessness and acceptance of others; and the ability to overcome obstacles.

For an upcoming article, the Daily News spoke to a number of people in their early 20s. We asked them about their hopes and expectations for the future.

Their responses read like they have been reading from the Chris Hadfield songbook. They talk about travel, relationships, being true to one’s self and not wasting time on people and activities they don’t value.

Nowhere is there a yacht, a limousine, or all-night binge to be found.

It should be easy to conclude, then, that their role models would share those values.

So when Miley Cyrus twerks her way across your TV screen, view her for what she is: an entertainer, whose behaviour is being exploited for someone’s entertainment.

The real role models are not usually on the television, they are around you in the community: doing the little things that are making a difference in their lives and the lives of those people they care about.

They can be people like Hadfield, who are at the pinnacle of their profession, but they can also be your parents, your coaches, your friends or your co-workers. They are people inspiring others by being true to themselves. They can be you. » We want to hear from you.

Although not a Liberal supporter, I am profoundly relieved that our international reputation has some chance of being resurrected from the gutter.

With a huge international climate conference upcoming, I profoundly hope that our new prime minister will bring intelligent quarantees to the table.

As a world-leading per person producer of greenhouse gases, nothing else will rehabilitate our reputation.

How else can we expect poorer countries whose citizens use a fraction of energy per person be willing to cut back their usage?

There is enough coal, gas and oil still to be tapped underground that will cook our world many times over.

We need to set an intelligent example and leave it in the ground. Otherwise, our childrens’ world is bleak.

Wait and see before offering any criticism It’s disappointing to see some defeated candidates that are so bitter that they have to dwell on excuses and insults to the winning party.

Giving their opinion as if it were gospel by trying to tell us of what catastrophic things the NDP are going to cause on Vancouver Island.

Don’t be so judgmental, wait and see. Bitterness is self defeating.

Most Canadians are rejoicing having gotten rid of what I think to be the most self-serving politicians ever to have governed Canada.

Why is it that a few can only wallow in self pity from their defeats and not even show a little respect for the winners? I see so many who didn’t win, but still have the finesse to congratulate the winners and pledged their

full support in working together for a better Canada. I feel that any candidate who can show such resentment towards the winning candidates, would hardly be capable of working for a common cause with other party members. I can sympathize with them to a degree and understand that they have came through a long stressful ordeal, and that their bitterness could be fuelled by disappointment along with mental and physical fatigue. The extra ridiculously long campaign was caused by your own

self-serving prime minister, which led to your defeat as well as his own; at least he had the intestinal fortitude to congratulate the winners, but I think he was more of a menace then a messiah.

Alberta, under the conservative government, had everything going for it for 40 plus years but were brought down by their own greed within the party.

How could anyone stay loyal to that kind of governing?

Let’s give the new government a

chance to prove itself.

SCOTT STANFIELD COMOX VALLEY RECORD

A six-year-old cat named Midnight succumbed to her injuries Sept. 28 after being dragged from her Comox residence by a pit bull.

The cat — a rare breed known as a munchkin, though it weighed nearly 20 pounds — was sleeping in her usual spot on the front porch. Her owner, Bill Woodcock, had opened the door for Midnight and his other cat at about 6 a.m. After eating, Midnight went to her bed, which rests on a table. “I’m at my kitchen table having a cup of coffee and all of sudden I hear a commotion, and here’s my cat flying up in the air and this dog catching it in its mouth,� said Woodcock, who lives in the 1900 block of Comox Avenue.

He went outside and spotted the dog across the street. Woodcock kicked the pit bull repeatedly in the head, but it didn’t drop the cat.

Then a motorist flashed their headlights on the scene. “That’s when all of a sudden this hand and arm reaches in. He (owner) grabbed the dog by the collar and the dog released my cat just like that,� Woodcock said.

He did not know the owner, but had previously seen the dog — leashed — on numerous occasions. “When this dog

attacked my cat it had no leash on it. This is not the first time this dog has been in my neighbourhood, and people had problems with this dog.�

Woodcock wound up with a couple of marks on his nose. It’s unclear if they are scratches or bites. “The dog was off leash, there’s no doubt in my mind,� Town of Comox bylaw enforcement officer Bill Smith said. “We’re investigating.�

The pit bull is back with its owner, who is required to have the animal assessed.

Once a dog bites a person or another animal, Smith said it’s considered vicious, and cannot leave the owner’s property without a muzzle and a leash. If an assessor can come up with a reason why an attack happened and what can be done to prevent a re-occurrence, then the ‘vicious’ terminology would no longer apply, as long as the dog can be trained.

Woodcock feels the ownership and breeding of pit bulls should be banned locally, as is the case in Ontario.

Pear-loving bear makes his own return to bush

Bizarre kidnapping case leads to murder charge

A fruitful holiday has ended for a pear-loving black bear in British Columbia.

The yearling has climbed down from its perch, high in the branches of a huge pear tree, near Chilliwack.

The little Fraser Valley bruin, dubbed by observers as Pear Bear, settled in the tree several weeks ago and was gorging on fruit as it fattened up for hibernation.

There was concern it was stuck, because it remained more than 12 metres above the ground and never seemed to come down.

Conservation officers ruled out a tranquilizer dart, saying a fall from that height would be fatal, but instead set up a live trap near the base of the tree, hoping to catch and relocate the bear.

The crafty creature ignored the trap and instead wandered back into the bush sometime Tuesday.

A first degree murder charge has been laid against one of the men accused of a kidnapping and homicide in North Vancouver.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 23-year-old Richmond resident Tian Yi Zhang now faces one count of first degree murder in connection with the discovery of a man’s body on Sept. 29.

Zhang was charged earlier with kidnapping and indignity to a body and remains in custody.

Three co-accused, 21-year-old Casey Hiscoe, 20-year-old Dyllan Green and 18-year-old Jacob Gorelik, are also charged with committing an indignity to a body, while Hiscoe faces a charge of kidnapping. When the four were arrested on Sept. 30, IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said the attack was targeted but the name of the victim and his cause of death were not being released for “investigative reasons.”

Supreme Court sides with homeless people Judge strikes down bylaw banning tents in local parks THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The homeless community in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley has won the right to camp outside after a judge struck down a controversial municipal bylaw that banned tents in local parks.

Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled on Wednesday that homeless people in Abbotsford, have the right to erect temporary shelters in parks between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. because of a lack of accessible shelter space in the city.

The legal action by Abbotsford was the latest attempt to evict the homeless campers that began with issuing bylaw notices, but escalated to spreading pepper spray and chicken manure on the camps and finally destroying or disposing of tents and other personal property.

The 81-page ruling found that a prohibition on camping violated their charter rights to life, liberty and the security of person.

“Allowing the city’s homeless to set up shelters overnight while taking them down during the day would reasonably balance the needs of the homeless and the rights of other residents of the city,” Hink-

“Allowing the city’s homeless to set up shelters overnight while taking them down during the day would reasonably balance the needs of the homeless and the rights of other residents in the city .”

Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson

son wrote.

His ruling referenced a 2008 decision, also from B.C. Supreme Court, that upheld the right of homeless people in Victoria to erect temporary shelters in city parks.

Hinkson stressed that the temporary, overnight nature of the camping permission would help address poor living conditions that he believed arose out of more permanent makeshift settlements, including the proliferation of drug paraphernalia, garbage, human waste and criminal elements.

The judge rejected the city’s claim that homeless people prefer

to live outside.

“To assert that homelessness is a choice ignores realities such as poverty, low income, lack of work opportunities, the decline in public assistance, the structure and administration of government support, the lack of affordable housing, addiction disorders and mental illness,” wrote Hinkson in his ruling.

The ruling included a harsh rebuke of the city’s tactics used to displace the campers, including municipal workers using shovels to dump the chicken manure from city trucks onto an encampment.

He called the actions “disgraceful and worthy of the court’s disapproval.”

While Hinkson recognized that forcing the continual displacement of the city’s homeless causes them “impaired sleep and serious psychological pain and stress,” he fell short of ordering Abbotsford to pay damages. In the same ruling, Hinkson dismissed Abbotsford’s request for a permanent injunction against homeless encampments on city property.

Abbotsford has more than a thousand hectares of parkland.

City officials have not said whether they would appeal the decision.

POLITICS

B.C. Premier Clark looks forward to working with Justin Trudeau TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

Premier Christy Clark is emphasizing co-operation with the new Liberal government in Ottawa on climate change and infrastructure spending, while avoiding comment on plans to run deficits and legalize marijuana.

Clark said Tuesday she is looking forward to having Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accompany premiers to Paris at the end of November for the next United Nations climate conference. Trudeau said Tuesday he is looking forward to changing Canada’s reputation as a “less than enthusiastic actor” on climate policy, but he wants provinces to take the lead.

Clark said B.C. will outline its “Climate 2.0” plan before leaving, and it will add to the carbon tax on fossil fuels with measures aimed at the “built environment” and other ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

CLARK

Trudeau’s infrastructure plan is in “complete alignment” with B.C.’s efforts to grow the economy, with BC Hydro alone spending $2.5 billion a year over the next decade, Clark said.

She sidestepped a question on Trudeau’s deficit plans, noting that a prime minister has to govern for all provinces and B.C. is “an outlier” with operating budget surpluses and projected growth.

Clark was even more cautious with Trudeau’s plans to legalize and regulate marijuana, as Vancouver and other cities grapple with unregulated pot dispensaries.

“If and when they make changes, we’ll work with them to make sure that the changes can be effective in B.C.,” she said.

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan shrugged off his federal party’s big setback in the federal election, consoling himself with an increase of two NDP MPs in B.C. The NDP’s Gord Johns won the new riding of Courtney-Alberni, defeating long-time Conservative MP John Duncan for an NDP sweep of Vancouver Island, except for Green Party leader Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

“I’m also delighted that the country voted for change in massive numbers,” Horgan said. “And that’s good news for me as well, because in 2017 there’s going to be a desire for change.”

Flock of ducks looking for new home

Pair of pit bull puppies die in afternoon house fire

TRACY HOLMES PEACE ARCH NEWS

A flock of mallards rescued from a contaminated South Surrey pond earlier this month are to start being released back to the wild this week.

But they won’t be returning ‘home,’ following a report of continued pollution at the pond in question.

“The pond still has a sheen on it and we are trying to find a pond that is similar to their previous home but far enough away from it so they don’t fly back to it and get soiled again,” Yolanda Brooks, communications manager with the Wildlife Rescue Association, said Monday.

The ducks — 16 in all — were rescued from property in the 18800-block of 8 Avenue starting Oct. 7, after officials were alerted to an oily substance in the water.

WRA volunteers and staff dispatched to the scene over the next few days were able to round up most of the soiled waterfowl, bringing them to the Burnaby facility for stabilization, cleaning and treatment.

Five were found to have suffered chemical burns to their skin. Brooks told Peace Arch News by email that all of the rescued ducks are currently in outdoor enclosures — with donations towards their care at about $3,600 — and the first were expected to be released Wednesday.

The pollution, however, remains under investigation.

Ministry of Environment spokesman David Karn said the pond was cleaned, “however, the ministry has received a further report of continuing pollution at the site and is investigating.”

Further details – including if the pollutant itself was identified – were not disclosed by deadline. If it’s determined an offence occurred under the Environmental Management Act, penalties could include fines or jail time, Karn said.

Two dogs perished in a house fire Monday afternoon in Abbotsford.

@NanaimoDaily

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called at about 4:30 p.m. to the residence at 32147 Peardonville Rd. just west of Parkview Street.

When crews arrived, the house was engulfed in flames coming from the top-floor living room.

B.C. 13

All occupants of the home were safely evacuated, but one person was taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

Crews were unable to resuscitate two pit bull puppies that were immediately pulled from the residence. Another six

dogs were safely rescued.

BC Ambulance, Abbotsford Police, Emergency Social Services and the SPCA were also on the scene.

No further information was available at this time, including the cause of the fire.

Trudeau welcomed by U.S. officials Obama envoy Bruce Heyman salutes Prime Minister-designate: ‘Good, smart, caring man’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is offering an enthusiastic, compliment-filled welcome to Justin Trudeau, playing down talk of an early potential irritant over the next prime minister’s military policies.

The U.S. ambassador to Canada expressed excitement Wednesday about working with the future leader, whom he says he’s already gotten to know socially during his time in opposition.

“He’s a good man. He’s smart, he’s affable, he’s caring,” Bruce Heyman said in an interview Wednesday.

“He’s going to be a great representative for your country ... I am very encouraged by the language, by the style, by the personality of Mr. Trudeau.”

Heyman said Trudeau has already expressed an interest in sitting down with President Barack Obama beyond their encounters at international summits. Heyman described that as a matter of scheduling, and working out details around the upcoming calendar.

He played down suggestions that

Trudeau created a political headache for the president on his first day after being elected. Trudeau said he’d spoken to Obama on the phone, and informed him of his intention to withdraw from the Mideast bombing mission like he promised during the campaign.

News that Canada was reconsidering its role made the front page of the Washington Post under the headline: “New Leader To Pull Canada Out Of

Islamic State Bombing.” Coupled with Trudeau’s plan to cancel the purchase of F-35 fighter planes, one insider involved in Canada-U.S. relations said: “People are worried (in Washington).”

A new poll illustrates the sensitivity of the ISIL issue for Obama: only 31 per cent of Americans believe the military action is going well, according to the CNN survey — and 71 per cent said Obama doesn’t have a clear plan.

Heyman said he’s eager to work with

the new government, once it’s sworn in, to discuss Canada’s contribution.

Trudeau has promised to remain involved in some aspects of the ISIL fight.

“No — I’m not personally overly concerned. Nor overly excited,” Heyman said. “This is kind of an in-between period, and I really look forward to sitting down with this new government.”

The U.S. envoy said he’d met with all the party leaders in his 18 months in Ottawa.

Heyman said he looks forward to hearing the new government’s priorities. In just a few weeks, the countries will be attending major Paris climate talks.

The goal is to seek a substantive deal in Paris, Heyman said — not just an announcement with distant, hypothetical targets.

He said Trudeau appears to be like-minded.

“I think the language that the new prime minister has used is encouraging,” Heyman said. “We look forward to delivering not only numbers — but actionable numbers.”

The outgoing Harper government was often accused of paying mere lip

service to never-met climate targets.

As for delays over the Keystone XL oil pipeline, the relationship with the administration was frosty enough that the Harper government cancelled the last North American leaders’ summit.

But Heyman saluted what he called Harper’s significant successes.

On the Canada-U.S. front, those included a wide-ranging new border deal aimed at simplifying crossing; bypassing a resistant U.S. Congress to build the new Detroit-Windsor bridge with a complex funding arrangement; regulatory harmonization; security co-operation; and military missions abroad.

Heyman regretted that so many good bilateral stories were lost in the noise of one controversial pipeline.

A Canada-U.S. analyst agreed the bad blood was overblown.

“What we really had was a psychological problem — or a certain atmospherics problem,” said Christopher Sands, director of the Center for Canadian Studies at Johns Hopkins University.

“There’s some substantive issues, but by and large the relationship was never as bad as some people worried.”

Appeal planned after dismissal of sperm bank lawsuit KATE BRUMBACK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA — An Ontario couple is “very disappointed” that an Atlanta judge has dismissed their lawsuit against a sperm bank and sperm donor they allege misrepresented the donor’s medical and social history and will appeal the ruling, their lawyer said Wednesday.

Angela Collins and Margaret Elizabeth Hanson, of Port Hope, Ont., filed the lawsuit in March against Xytex Corp., its parent company, sperm bank employees and the

donor. Collins and Hanson alleged that sperm bank employees talked up the donor, saying he was smart, healthy and mature. They say in the lawsuit they later found out the donor is schizophrenic, dropped out of college and had been arrested for burglary.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote in an order filed Tuesday that while the lawsuit makes allegations including fraud, negligence and product liability, each claim is “rooted in the concept of wrongful birth,” which isn’t

recognized under Georgia law.

The concept of “wrongful birth” arises when parents claim they would not have gone forward with a birth if they had been fully informed of a fetus’s condition, McBurney wrote, later adding: “This claim most closely (though by no means perfectly) fits a claim for wrongful birth — and so is not allowed.”

Nancy Hersh, a lawyer for Collins and Hanson, said her clients are “very, very disappointed” by the decision and have already retained appellate counsel.

A representative for Xytex did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Wednesday. When the lawsuit was filed earlier this year, the company denied “any assertion that it failed to comply with the highest standards for testing.”

McBurney acknowledged that rapid developments in reproductive science have given rise to complicated issues that may need to be addressed by the law.

“Science has once again — as it always does — outstripped the law,” he wrote. “Plaintiffs make a compel-

ling argument that there should be a way for parties aggrieved as these Plaintiffs are to pursue negligence claims against a service provider in pre-conception services. After all, the human life that makes the calculus so complicated has not yet begun when would-be parents are working with companies such as Xytex.”

But Hersh said she doesn’t believe the case is a wrongful birth case and that McBurney could have allowed the case to move forward on the negligence claims. She said her clients plan to appeal the judge’s ruling.

Growth forecast puts pressure on Liberals

Ambassador calls counterpart a liar

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada has downgraded its economic forecasts for the next two years, a trimmed outlook that puts added pressure on the incoming Trudeau government and its bigticket spending promises.

The revised projections come as fallout from persistently low commodity prices continues to hog-tie business investment and resource exports, the bank said Wednesday.

“The Canadian economy is undergoing a complex set of adjustments,” the bank wrote in its latest monetary policy report.

It now is predicting growth for 2016 of two per cent, down from 2.3 per cent.

For 2017, the forecast now is 2.5 per cent, down from 2.6.

The change signals that the alreadysnug fiscal belt could get even tighter for the Liberal government-in-waiting.

Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau pledged during the election campaign to run billions in deficits over each of the next three years. However, the Liberals vow that none of them will exceed $10 billion.

The promise, a key plank in Trudeau’s platform, calls for significant investment in job-creating projects like infrastructure.

Following through on the commitment would likely have implications for the Bank of Canada.

Asked at a news conference Wednes-

“The Canadian economy is undergoing a complex set of adjustments.”

The Palestinian ambassador to the U.N. is calling his Israeli counterpart a liar for claiming that Palestinian school children are taught how to stab Jews and says he would

welcome an international review of Palestinian school curriculums to disprove the allegation.

Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour was responding Wednesday to comments made last week by Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon.

At a news conference, Danon held up a diagram of a human torso with knives pointed at various body

parts beneath the caption “How to stab a Jew.” He claimed the image was used to teach in Palestinian schools. Mansour protested those comments as “completely and utterly false” in a letter sent Wednesday to the U.N. Security Council president and Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

day about the effect of boosting fiscal stimulus, bank governor Stephen Poloz declined to comment about the specific Liberal proposal.

And in general terms, he said it’s still too early to determine how quickly any future investments in projects like infrastructure could produce benefits for the economy.

So far this year, Poloz has done the heavy lifting to help cushion Canada from the sharp drop in world oil prices.

The bank lowered its trend-setting interest rate twice this year to minimize the impact of a slide that saw the economy contract over the first two quarters of 2015 — into a technical recession.

The outgoing Conservative government argued in favour of austerity rather than digging into the public piggy bank to boost the economy.

Dropping the rates, however, has had consequences: higher household consumption and debt.

The bank’s report Wednesday once again warned the overall ratio of debt to disposable income has crept higher.

It plans to publish a more in-depth analysis of the financial vulnerability of household debt in a December report.

Suspect arrested in connection with slaying of Manhattan officer

Analyst says PM comments hurt relations THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A career criminal accused of killing a police officer had been released from jail into a drug diversion program and was wanted in a shooting last month, said Police Commissioner William Bratton, noting that the suspect had shown an increasing level of violence and shouldn’t have been on the streets.

Tyrone Howard is expected to be charged with fatally shooting New York Police Department Officer Randolph Holder during a gunfight Tuesday night on a pedestrian bridge after stealing a bike.

He was arrested in October 2014 along with 18 other people and charged with selling crack cocaine at an East Harlem public housing complex. But Bratton said Howard was released into a drug diversion program, which is meant to keep drug offenders from overcrowding the city’s jails.

“If ever there was a candidate not to be diverted, it would be this guy,” Bratton said. “There are people in our society who are criminals, who are violent criminals ... who should be separated from the rest of society.”

But court officials said Howard qualified for the program because he was charged with selling and possessing drugs and was addicted.

“Actually, he’s the perfect candidate in many ways,” state court system spokesman David Bookstaver told The

Associated Press.

Howard pleaded guilty to the drug charge this May and was ordered to attend monthly status meetings, but he stopped attending those Aug. 21.

An arrest warrant was issued Sept. 17.

The 30-year-old had been arrested

OTTAWA — A former analyst with Canada’s spy agency says Stephen Harper’s comments about the threat of “Islamicism” strained the fragile trust federal officials built with Muslim Canadians in the fight against terrorism.

Phil Gurski, who worked for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service before moving to Public Safety Canada, believes the harsh tone Harper and his cabinet members struck with Muslims created a rift the new Liberal government must work to overcome. Gurski, a specialist in radicalization and homegrown terrorism, says rebuilding trust will be an important element in national counter-radicalization efforts by police and community groups.

One year ago this week, a jihadi-inspired man fatally shot honour guard Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in the back at the National War Memorial and burst into Parliament’s Centre Block before being killed in a hail of bullets. Gurski says security agencies need to continue investigating threats, but the government must also do more to support police and community-led programs to stop young people from becoming radicalized.

28 times since he was 13 for offences including drug possession and robbery, authorities said. He’s been sentenced to state prison twice since 2007 on drug possession and sale convictions, state records show.

Howard was arrested in connection with a June 2009 shooting that left an 11-year-old with a gunshot wound to the leg and a 78-year-old grazed by a bullet, according to police. The disposition of that case wasn’t immediately clear.

Howard had also been wanted in connection with the Sept. 1 shooting of a gang member, said James O’Neill, the NYPD’s chief of department. He skipped court appearances and police couldn’t track him down, O’Neill said.

Police said officers had attempted to locate Howard 10 times since the shooting. Charges against Howard in Holder’s shooting were pending. It was unclear if he had a lawyer.

Holder was the second NYPD officer killed this year and the fourth slain in the past 11 months, Bratton said.

The fatal shooting happened as Holder and his partner responded to a report of shots being fired at around 8:30 p.m. near a public housing development in East Harlem.

Passenger upset after emergency landing THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — A passenger is questioning why there were no oxygen masks aboard a Porter Airlines flight that was forced to make an emergency landing Monday after smoke filled the aircraft.

Don McDonald of Paradise, N.L., was flying with family members from Halifax to St. John’s, N.L., when someone noticed smoke coming from the front of the cabin about 30 minutes after takeoff.

“The fire alarm was going off, the red light was flashing,” said McDonald.

MacDonald said as smoke gradually began to fill the cabin area the flight crew instructed passengers to use the cloth material draping the headrests of their seats to breathe through.

The 61-year-old said he wasn’t all that surprised by the instructions because he had seen nothing mentioning the use of oxygen masks in the aircraft’s safety instructions.

“There was nothing about a mask dropping down,” said MacDonald.

In an e-mailed statement Porter Air-

lines said the aircraft in question, Bombardier’s Q400, operates below 25,000 feet and is therefore not required to have drop-down oxygen under regulations administered by Transport Canada and the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. “For aircraft that operate above 25,000 feet, drop down oxygen is mandated due to the time it takes for the aircraft to conduct an emergency descent to a safe altitude (typically 14,000 feet or less),” the statement said. “This is not a factor for the Q400.”

MacDonald estimates the turbo prop landed in Sydney about 12 to 15 minutes after the initial alarm, by which time the 66 passengers on board were told to adopt the brace position by the flight crew and the thickening smoke had gotten “quite intense.”

“If the flight lasted another 15 or 20 minutes I think there would have been a different outcome because the smoke was getting more intense all the time.”

The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident.

â&#x2014;&#x2020; ALASKA

Pilot of air taxi underestimated weight of cargo before deadly crash The pilot of an air taxi that crashed on Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kenai Peninsula in 2013, killing all 10 people on board, underestimated the weight of the planeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cargo, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a report issued Wednesday.

The probable cause of the crash was the operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to account for about 420 additional pounds of unspecified cargo, which led to loading and operating the de Havilland DHC3 Otter outside its weight and centre-of-gravity limits, the report said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contributing to the accident was the Federal Aviation Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to require weight and balance documentation for this type of air taxi flight,â&#x20AC;? the report says.

The de Havilland DHC 3 Otter stalled, crashed and burned shortly after taking off from the airport in Soldotna, about 75 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Kenai Peninsula. The report says the airplane was destroyed by both the impact and a subsequent fire.

Investigators found a video of the takeoff on a passengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smartphone.

An analysis of the video indicated that right after takeoff, the planeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angle of attack increased as the planeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed decreased from 68 mph to 44 mph in about 8.5 seconds.

The video showed the plane appear to stall at about 11 seconds after takeoff. The plane rolled right-wing down and hit the ground several seconds later.

Besides the pilot, Walter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willieâ&#x20AC;? Rediske, also killed were two families from Greenville, South Carolina: Melet and Kimberly Antonakos and their three children, ages 11 to 16; and Chris and Stacey McManus and their two teenage children.

They died during what was to be the last leg of a 10-day vacation. The families were booked on a flight leaving Soldotna to visit a remote bear-viewing lodge in Chinitna Bay. Attempts to reach Rediske Air werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately successful Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Family seeks answers after cop kills worker

Talk of legalizing pot upsets some politicians

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The family of a black drummer and public housing inspector killed by a plainclothes officer is demanding answers after he was shot when his car broke down on a dark interstate exit ramp in affluent Palm Beach Gardens.

Officer Nouman Raja, who had been investigating local burglaries, stopped his unmarked car early Sunday morning to check out what he thought was an abandoned vehicle, Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief Stephen Stepp said.

Instead, â&#x20AC;&#x153;he was suddenly confronted by an armed subjectâ&#x20AC;? and fatally shot 31-year-old Corey Jones, Stepp said.

The shooting is the latest to happen amid a national debate about police use of weapons, particularly in cases involving African-Americans.

Investigators recovered a handgun on the ground that matched a box found in the car, Stepp said. Records indicate Jones purchased the weapon legally only three days before. Rajaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car did

not have a dashboard camera and the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officers do not wear body cameras, the chief said.

Police have not said what caused the confrontation between the men or whether Jones knew that Raja was a police officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be premature to say we have all the facts and speculate as to what took place based on unconfirmed accounts,â&#x20AC;? Stepp told reporters.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative black caucus called on the governor to launch an independent investigation by the state law enforcement agency. Family members and friends were stunned by Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death, describing the housing authority inspector who moonlighted as a drummer in local bands as nonviolent.

He was raised in a church-going family that includes pastors and a bishop.

A man who answered the door at the officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home Wednesday quickly shut it and declined to answer questions. The home was being guarded by a sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy.

The new federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise to legalize marijuana is raising concerns among Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political class. Some cabinet ministers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide their discomfort

when asked today about the prospect of legalized pot in the near future. While it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rejected the idea outright, the Couillard government says it wants to see a detailed plan from the new Liberal government in Ottawa. Public Security Minister Lise Theriault says questions of public safety are paramount and that many parents share that

same concern. Justin Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liberals have promised to legalize cannabis by selling and taxing it much like alcohol, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said how quickly that might happen. They argue legalization means the drug will be less accessible to minors and will snuff out the ability of criminal groups to profit from the pot trade. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

American Muslims feel they are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;under siegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The decision by the family of a Texas teenager to move to Qatar is not surprising in light of lingering anti-Muslim sentiment that makes many U.S. followers of Islam feel as if they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;under siege,â&#x20AC;? a spokesman for a national Muslim-American group said Wednesday.

The teen, Ahmed Mohamed, shot to national prominence last month after he was arrested for bringing a homemade digital clock to school that a teacher mistook for a possible bomb.

On Tuesday, the family announced that they would soon leave their modest home in the Dallas suburb of Irving and move to Qatar, a wealthy oil nation on the Persian Gulf. There, a foundation has offered to pay for Ahmedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school and college education in Doha.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think moving to Qatar, a country with its own share of problems, constructively helps fight prejudice.â&#x20AC;?

tries are often disappointed when they discover restrictions they never experienced in the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here in America, you have much more freedom practicing the faith,â&#x20AC;? he said.

For others, the family move to the Middle East sends an unfortunate message.

Yousuf Fahimuddin, a Muslim journalist in the San Francisco Bay area, believes the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure will only perpetuate the idea that Muslims are not loyal to the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think moving to Qatar, a country with its own share of problems, constructively helps fight prejudice,â&#x20AC;? Fahimuddin said in an email.

Instead, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muslims should try to share their common humanity with others to demonstrate that they are regular people.â&#x20AC;?

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the

Yaser Birjas, imam of the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, said he wishes the 14-year-old well but worries about the stress that can come with celebrity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that he does not get overwhelmed and consumed with that because now the expectation of him is so high,â&#x20AC;? Birjas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a kid.â&#x20AC;?

Hooper said.

Ahmedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, told The Dallas Morning News that the family was moving â&#x20AC;&#x153;to a place where my kids can study and learn and all of them being accepted by that country.â&#x20AC;?

The family said in a statement that Ahmed will enrol in a program offered by the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. He received a full scholarship for his secondary and undergraduate education.

KEATS Playwright Caleb Williamson performs a lively scene from his one-man play about a year in the life of romantic poet John Keats. [PHOTO SUBMITTED]

Play explores life and work of iconic poet ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Caleb Williamson will share his celebration of the life of the English romantic poet John Keats in his upcoming production, Keats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A One Man Play at the Kismet Theatre Academy on Victoria Road in Nanaimo this weekend.

Williamson, who is from Qualicum Beach, said he has been fascinated with Keats and his incredible life since he was in high school.

He said the life of Keats is full of

passion, love and loss, and his struggles to survive financially in a world where it was hard to do so through writing and the arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His life got to me as much as his poetry because it was so much like my own,â&#x20AC;? said Williamson, who studied theatre in England and has performed locally with a number of theatre groups, including Western Edge and ECHO Players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play will be very lively and will re-enact moments from his very active life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just me giving a

lecture about Keats while in costume,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Keats, presented by Thin Ice Theatre, is a two-act play about the poet during the year of 1820.

The play follows Keats from the scenic surroundings of Hampstead to the blood-soaked wards of Guys Hospital; from the conversation-filled walks with his friends and dear fiancĂŠ to the beautiful streets and ancient ruins of Rome.

After graduating from Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

eight years ago, Williamson began researching the young Keats by reading dozens of books and utilizing holiday trips to Europe to investigate where he lived and walked.

Six years ago, he approached prominent director Ann Gates to direct the play and since then, they have worked closely together editing, workshopping and rehearsing the play.  Keats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A One Man Play will be performed on Oct. 23, 24, 30, 31 and Nov. 1.

Tickets are $17 each for adults and $12 for children, students and seniors and are available at the Mulberry Bush book stores in Qualicum Beach and Parksville, Fascinating Rhythm in Nanaimo and at the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are only about 30 seats available each evening so I would encourage people to buy them in advance,â&#x20AC;? Williamson said.

The Pack A.D. emerge from extended studio time to hit the road again hard AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS

After a year of laying low in the recording studio, The Pack AD is heading to Nanaimo Halloween and are describing themselves as much better, harder and nastier than ever before.

The two grunge punk rockers, Becky Black and Maya Miller, have developed their sound over the years, saying you can forget about their first two recorded LPs. “When we first started out we didn’t know what we were doing and didn’t have any aspirations of where it would go.

“It started out very bluesy and changed over time with becoming more proficient at what we were doing and more like music that we liked listening to,” said drummer Miller.

“It changed into more of this psych-rock pop thing which has been really satisfying to do. The first two albums feel so remote now. It’s just a totally different style and I know I was a different person then.”

The Pack AD has built a reputation of being an on-the-road band, continually playing shows across the country. The duo is just starting to come out of their time in the studio.

“It’s pretty rare that we take such an extended time off from touring but we felt like spending more time in the studio and spending more time in Vancouver to be honest. We do tend to tour a lot. We’re pretty much done, we might go back in and do a couple more songs.”

Maya Miller, left, and Becky Black are The Pack A.D. Known for their explosive live performances , they’re set play a pop punk show at the Cambie on Halloween night.

They are just starting to sort through their newly recorded material and expect to release a new album sometime this spring. They will be playing tracks off their unreleased album Halloween night.

Black and Miller have been playing music together for about 10 years. They decided to start The Pack AD on a whim.

“People started asking us to do shows, then someone wanted to

record us, so we decided to make more songs. The next thing we know we’re quitting our day jobs and this is what we do fulltime. I would like to say there was plan to do something with this, but honestly most of it just happened because it happened,” Miller said.

“You have to make choices in life when you’re presented with things and we decided to keep going with it and here we are.”

The Pack AD will play alongside Moths & Locusts, Awkward A/C and Teenage Tiger at The Cambie on Oct. 31.

Tickets cost $20 at the door or $15 advances.

Doors open at 8 p.m., tickets can be purchased at nanaimotickets.ca.

CRAIG SPENCE LADYSMITH CHRONICLE

It’s got to be a brilliant stroke of metaphoric logic on the part of playwrights David Bottrell and Jessie Jones when grumpy old Bud Turpin, the grubby patriarch of a dysfunctional southern clan, topples dead into a laundry basket at start of the play, Dearly Departed.

That’s because the next hour or so is going to be spent airing a lot of family laundry, as his wife, children and grand children try to lay him to rest.

This is a truly funny play, carried off wonderfully by Ladysmith Little Theatre. It’s one of those scripts where the central character is like a dark, alien planet — a hole in space that remains for all intents invisible, but whose inescapable gravity draws out the flaws and foibles, the worst, you might say, in every other character.

As they make their ways to the side of Bud’s not-so-grieving wife Raynell (Marni Hastings), and go through the complicated motions of organizing his funeral, it becomes apparent that the only peace Bud could ever have truly hoped for was in the grave.

You almost feel sorry for him.

And even there, he would not be left in peace, if Marni’s wish to have the honest epithet ‘mean and surly’ chiseled onto his tombstone, was fulfilled.

Her staunch, vindictive honesty is

denied though, and by the end there’s been a rapprochement of sorts between the family and the dearly departed — a sort of collective understanding that, although Bud’s flaws may have been particularly egregious, not one of his ancestors could claim to be normal, in any honest sense of the word . . . and by extension, no-one in the audience could either.

Everyone’s grown up a bit in trying to maintain at least a modicum of decorum for Bud, who may or may not have deserved it.

The cast does a great job with this play, under the direction of Pat Zogar. Marni Hastings captures the dignified anger of Raynell toward her dearly departed husband with austere confidence; Inge Cathers brings on the Hallelujahs with her exuberant portrayal of the evangelically inclined Marguerite; and Vic Duffhues as the patent leather and polyester Reverend Hooker adds his blessings to the whole performance.

Dearly Departed runs to Oct. 25, with Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. and Sunday Matinees at 2 p.m.

For tickets and information phone the Little Theatre box office at 250924-0658 (open Wednesday and Friday 1 to 3 p.m.) You can visit LadysmithTheatre.com for info.

Opposites collide in ‘Grace and Glorie’ DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Halifax director Pamela Halstead says she could relate to the characters in Grace and Glorie, making it an easy choice to do the play for the Chemainus Theatre Festival.

She was able to draw on her own experiences developing relationships with older women when directing the play.

“It’s a beautiful show,” Halstead said.

A unique Broadway play that emphasizes the magnetic relationship of opposing forces, Grace and Glorie focuses on two antagonistic women with haunted pasts, thrown together by circumstance.

The theme running through the play centres on the good that

can come from awkward human entanglements.

Set deep in the mountains of Virginia, cantankerous 90-yearold Grace Stiles is living out her final days. At her side is Gloria Whitmore, a Harvard-educated hospice volunteer who has forsaken a high-powered career in the city to escape the secret grief of a recent tragedy.

Confined in a remote forest cabin, the women clash as they try to find something in common, revealing a series of confessions and insights as they learn to trust, respect, and take comfort in one another.

Each character is suffering in her own distinct way, Halstead said, “but through their self-reflection, and some amusing confrontations, they realize that

one hardship isn’t all too distant from another.”

Through their connection they find a new way to think about fate and fortune, she said.

“What’s interesting is their disparity,” she added.

Aside from their age difference, “they’re also from completely different worlds.”

Gloria, the younger character, is from upstate New York, while Grace is from the south.

“One has an MBA from Harvard, the other can’t read. One is quite religious, and the other is not an outright atheist but certainly has lost her faith.”

Erin Ormond plays Whitmore and Valerie Pearson plays Stiles.

The play raises good questions about life, Halstead said.

“When someone is near the

end of their life, what do we leave behind — what is the legacy? And for those of us who are here, what do we make of the time we have?”

Both Ormond and Pearson deftly embody the feisty and insightful sides of their characters as they spar in a country mouse/city mouse camaraderie of shared secrets and private jokes.

The play runs Oct . 16 to Nov. 7 at The Chemainus Theatre Festival.

Tickets are available now by calling the Box Office at 1-800-565-7738, or online at chemainustheatrefestival.ca.

LAURA LAVIN MONDAY MAGAZINE

This year, local musical darling Allison Crowe will forsake her popular Tidings Christmas show in favour of a string of earlier fall performances locally.

Crowe has also leaving the “lonely” life as solo artist behind and embarking on her first full-length tour with her new band.

Crowe performs at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre on Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m.

The Nanaimo native, now living in Cornerbrook, Nfld., has a string of solo albums and EPs to her name, the earliest recorded in 2001 when she was still a teenager.

“I had really supportive parents,” she says. ”When they cut the school band program out of elementary school, a bunch of parents got together and got an after-school band program going up at the high school.”

Inspired by classical, jazz and gospel music, Crowe has steadily gained popularity with her songs, both original and cover tunes, which she still enjoys performing.

She began playing the flute in band at age 11.

“I did a bit of whatever,” she says with a laugh. “I tried it all out because I loved it. Now I’m learning the fiddle and the bodhran, an Irish hand drum. One day I want to learn the cello.”

Her interest in learning new instruments stems from her job as Musical Director of Newfoundland Vinyl at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival.

“It’s summer stock, it runs May to September . . . Working with musicians, I feel like I need to have a grasp of how musical instruments work — whether or not I’m superduper mediocre at it,” she says.

She’s currently working on a Christmas show for Theatre Newfoundland, but first she’s hitting the road with her new band.

“We’re going to Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver and we’re also recording in White Rock. It’ll be a lot of fun,” she says.

The band includes Celine Greb, Billie Woods and Dave Baird. After Christmas they will head to Europe, visiting Germany, Slovenia, Belgium and Italy.

“With touring, you just get used to it by the time it’s over. Then you go home and you’re just getting used to being there and … you’re never 100 per cent settled. But I enjoy touring, I’ve made a lot of friends over the years, when I go back to places like Germany and Italy, I see a lot of familiar faces.”

She’s looking forward to recording with the band after years of going it alone.

“It’ll be all new recording with the band . . . with the cello and backing vocals. It’s not just me, because I’ve been recording on my own for such a long time, me at home in my kitchen — it’ll be nice.”

She’s also looking forward to performing live with the band.

“I needed a change. I’ve been solo for so long. It’ll make it interesting for me too. I enjoy playing with other people, I’m ready to work with other people. Before a concert, on your own, backstage, it can be super lonely . . . I’m ready to move on.”

Tidings will resume next year.

For tickets to the Oct. 30 performance call 250-754-8550 or go to www.porttheatre.com.

Come in and enjoy a different In these days of texting and tweeting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it seems everyone is looking down at something â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no matter where you go! Here at the Granary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everyone is looking down at a plate of delicious home-cooked food. This locally owned restaurant is well known for serving well-prepared and reasonably priced food in a homey, friendly and comfortable atmosphere. You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat that! As you enjoy your hot meal, you can chat, read the newspaper and if you want to connect electronically because there is wi-fi as well. From my perspective I like to enjoy a glass of wine and indulge in some real comfort food in the summer.

And yes, you can order a nice glass of chilled wine or beer with your meal here.

For me there is nothing I like better than breaded veal cutlets with mashed potatoes and gravy. For you it might be local pan-fried oysters or a traditional open face hot beef or turkey sandwich. I have a friend who goes to the Granary just for the Baby Beef Liver and Onions and let me add â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meals here are served with REAL mashed potatoes!

A delicious full breakfast is served all day and every lunch time features a sandwich special that comes with your choice of fries, salad or soup. Locals say the fish and chips are a great choice and burger fans have 10 filling burger platters to choose from.

Burger fans can choose from beef to fish to chicken all snuggled up in a fresh bun. Mmmmmâ&#x20AC;Śburger heaven to me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have burgers often, but when I do I want it with EVERYTHING and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the Granary serves up their burgers! Of course, there is a great selection of salads, soups and small bites as well. Do leave room for a delicious home-made dessert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is usually a home-made fruit pie on the menu board. Today it was apple pie. Try that with a BIG scoop of vanilla ice cream. Tomorrow it might be lemon meringue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; love that meringue and hold the ice cream on that one.

Many loyal customers have a long and happy record of enjoying delicious meals at the Granary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so stop in and find out what keeps them coming back.

K.C. Estrada near flawless as Jays dump Royals 7-1 in ALCS SPORTS INSIDE Today’s issue

NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

M

arco Estrada can count on striking it rich as a free agent in the off-season. Wherever he ends up, the Blue Jays will still owe him big-time.

For the second time in the post-season, the 32-year-old righthander kept Toronto alive — this time with a gem of a pitching performance in a 7-1 win over Kansas City that forced a sixth game in their American League Championship Series.

Estrada was near flawless in limiting the Royals to one hit over seven innings and three over 7 2/3 innings.

“Everything he threw up there was right where he wanted it,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons.

“He had everything going,” he added. “He’s sticking that fastball, nice little curveball, and his overpowering changeup. He shut down a good-hitting, hot team.”

Canucks MLB Playoffs World Sports Scoreboard

28 29 30 31

Estrada retired the first nine Kansas City batters he faced. A single in the fourth — promptly erased by a double play — and a two-out walk in the seventh were the only blemishes on his pitching line in the first seven innings as he retired 21 of 22.

He exited in the eighth to a standing ovation after giving up a two-out solo homer to Salvador Perez fol-

lowed by a single to Alex Gordon.

“Today he was absolutely dynamite,” said Royals manager Ned Yost.

“He didn’t miss spots. His changeup was fantastic. He just didn’t give us anything to hit.”

The Royals still hold an edge going home, leading the best-of-seven series 3-2. The teams go at it Friday in Kauffman Stadium, with Toronto’s David Price likely facing Yordano Ventura in a rematch of Game 2, won 6-3 by the Royals.

Game 7 is Saturday, if needed.

Troy Tulowitzki drove in three runs in a four-run Toronto sixth and Chris Colabello contributed a solo homer in the second before a loud crowd of 49,325 under the dome at the Rogers Centre.

“It’s been a while since I pitched here, and I forgot how great our fans were,” said Estrada. “It was pretty loud today. I had a lot of adrenalin going.”

Estrada, who came to Toronto last November in a trade that send Adam

Lind to Milwaukee, has delivered unexpected dividends for the Jays.

His spring training interrupted by a rolled ankle and with the focus on prospect Daniel Norris, the prognosis seemed a possible role in the bullpen. Instead Estrada, who is making US$3.9 million this season as he heads to free agency, became a key member of the rotation.

In June, he took no-hitters into the eighth inning in back-to-back starts.

And he led the majors after the allstar break by limiting opposition hitters to batting .183.

“He’s pitched like that all year,” said Gibbons.

Estrada is the first Toronto pitcher to throw seven consecutive shutout innings in a post-season game since Jimmy Key in Game 4 of the 1992 World Series Still, with the Royals having the edge going home, Yost said his team is feeling good.

“We knew it was going to be a tough series. But after winning the first two games, in reality your

goal is to come to Toronto — kind of a foreign environment, a hostile environment — and at least win one.

Then you get to go home and win one there and the series is over.

“Now we’re going back to a place where we’re completely comfortable.

That’s why home-field advantage was so important to us.”

Toronto, outscored 33-16 in the first four games and coming off a 14-2 humiliation in Game 4, needed a stopper and they got it once again in Estrada.

Estrada rescued the Jays with a victory in Game 3 of the ALDS in Texas, limiting the Rangers to one run in 6 1/3 innings in the first of Toronto’s must-win games this post-season.

Royals starter Edinson Volquez, who had a fine outing in Game 1 to beat Estrada, was almost as good Wednesday — retiring 15 of the first 18 batters he faced. But he unravelled in the sixth, walking three Jays and hitting another with a pitch while unable to get an out.

NHL

Ovechkin factor looms large Canucks set to take on Washington Capitals, a favourite to reach the Cup finals

Ben Kuzma The Province

B

randon Sutter didn’t need to hear the numbers. It’s almost as if he knew.

First in Carolina and then in Pittsburgh, the new Vancouver Canucks centre saw enough of Alex Ovechkin to easily understand why nobody has more goals since the 2000-01 NHL season than the hotshot Russian.

The Washington Capitals sniper didn’t come into the league until 2005, but has racked up 479 regular-season goals and hit the 900-point plateau on Tuesday in Calgary, where the Capitals cruised to a 6-2 victory over the slumping Flames.

Ovechkin is the second-fastest active player to reach 900 points and did it in 764 games. Jaromir Jagr needed 681.

“It’s a huge milestone,” said Ovechkin. “I love my teammates. It’s hard to do it by yourself in this league.”

The Capitals are 4-1-0 and arrive at Rogers Arena on Thursday as a legit-

imate Stanley Cup threat with one big bullet in their chamber.

Even at age 30, Ovechkin continues to unleash one of the best and heaviest one-time slapshots, and the 6-foot-3, 239 pound Moscow native isn’t afraid to bulldoze his way to the net and cause all kinds of havoc. He

has four goals and two assists in four outings and a team-high 21 shots. He had seven shots against the Flames.

“I’ve played against him a lot and he’s obviously a pretty special player,” Sutter said Wednesday following a practice at UBC. “He’s big and strong and is just

a threat every time he’s on the ice.

You really have to manage the puck against him and his line. If you give them transition rushes, they’re really dangerous, and nobody shoots the puck like Ovechkin.”

It’s one reason the Canucks acquired Sutter in an offseason deal with the Penguins. They needed a centre who’s good in the circle, has good wheels and can help shut down top opposition lines. And with Alex Burrows and Jannik Hansen as his wingers on Thursday, it’s going to be a good test of where the line is at and what coach Willie Desjardins has in his arsenal against top clubs. Expect Alex Edler and Chris Tanev to draw the tough shutdown matchup, too.

However, it’s not just Ovechkin.

His centre Nicklas Backstrom is back from offseason hip surgery and scored twice against the Flames in just his second game. And as much as he can score, Backstrom has that special knack of finding Ovechkin for prime scoring chances.

“The thing about Ovechkin is that he doesn’t just shoot, he goes to the net,” added Sutter. “We just can’t give him 3-on-2s or chances to fly down the wing and shoot. I’ve seen him score enough goals.”

The last line of the Canucks’ defence is obviously the first to notice what challenge Ovechkin presents. Ryan Miller is off to a solid start, but a behemoth like Ovechkin who can skate and muscle his way to the net is a multi-dimensional threat.

“You look for where he likes to hang out with a right-hand shot and with that heavy release, if he hits his spot, it’s a tough save to make, said Miller.

“You have to get set on him early and he puts his whole body into his shot.

“He’s like a bull in a china shop.

Once he starts heading in one direction, he’s just going to run over the first few things in his way.”

TORTORELLA

Blue Jackets fire coach, bring in John Tortorella CRAIG MERZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio — John Tortorella hoisted a Stanley Cup in Tampa Bay and led the New York Rangers to the verge of a championship berth.

At woebegone Columbus, the Blue Jackets have a more modest goal for the veteran coach: Win a game.

Tortorella is back coaching in the NHL after the Blue Jackets fired Todd Richards on Wednesday with the team off to an 0-7-0 start.

“He’s proven he’s a good coach,” said centre Brandon Dubinsky, who played for Tortorella with the Rangers from 2008-12. “He’s going to help our group. Unfortunately, it’s going to be at the expense of a great person and a great coach (but) we got another one. We’ve got to step up for him.”

Tortorella, who won the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, has been out of hockey since the Canucks fired him in May 2014 after one season in Vancouver. He takes over for Richards, who had been with the Blue Jackets since 2012 and led them to only their second NHL playoff appearance in 2013-14, when they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round.

“One of the problems right now is expectations,” Tortorella said.

“Expectations that weren’t there last year with this club.”

Columbus is just the sixth NHL team to open with seven consecutive losses after a 4-0 defeat against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

Former Vancouver Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit and his wife, Olympic gold medallist Ashleigh McIvor, were in Nanaimo Wednesday afternoon to speak to First Nations youth about leadership and success at the Snuneymuxw longhouse.

Organized by Nanaimo city councillor Bill Yoachim, DeMerit and McIvor stressed making positive life choices to the group of approximately 20 youth attending, as well as using any obstacles in life that might come their ways to their advantages.

“Becoming a leader, like they say, it takes a village. And I really believe that it does,” said DeMerit, who retired in 2014 after being the first ever captain of the Vancouver Major League Soccer team.

“There’s a lot of traits that a leader possesses, and that’s having a good lifestyle, positive thinking, the ability to communicate with family and friends . . . and that’s what a leader

does. A leader takes risks, a leader understands who he or she is as a person, and they want to use all of those ideals to get better at life.”

McIvor, who grew up in Whistler, used her shattered tibia as an example of how she transitioned from alpine skiing to ski-cross, not letting it kill her dreams in the sport.

“That was the end of my alpine ski-racing career,” she said of the injury she suffered at age 16.

McIvor took a break from ski-racing, graduated high school and was accepted into British Columbia, something she credits those around her for keeping her involved in her schoolwork.

“My teachers and my coaches and my parents always made sure that my academics were the most important thing,” noting she had to miss a lot of class time due to skiing, but still had to keep up with her homework.

“My schoolwork could never take a backseat to my sports.”

She would later switch to skicross racing and won gold at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, in her home town of Whistler. DeMerit and McIvor took the audience through several workshops in what was part of a three-day speaking tour on Vancouver Island. DeMerit said he was intrigued just to see the youth volunteer their time to come participate.

“I’m sure there’s sometimes there’s other things that you want to do,” he told the audience, “but just to show up is inspiring to me.”

CHICAGO — One final, charmed swing by Daniel Murphy, and the New York Mets finished a playoff sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

A new generation of Amazins is heading to the World Series.

Murphy homered for a record sixth consecutive post-season game, and the Mets brushed aside the Cubs 8-3 Wednesday night, capping a National League Championship Series in which New York never trailed.

“I can’t explain it. It’s such a blessing to contribute to what we’ve been able to do,” he said.

Lucas Duda hit a three-run homer in the first inning and a two-run double in the second at Wrigley Field, silencing a crowd of 42,227 desperately hoping for the beginning of an epic comeback in Game 4.

Not this time. Not with New York’s array of power arms, and Murphy swinging a hot stick that made him the NLCS MVP. Manager Terry Collins’ team advanced to the World Series for the first time since the Mets lost to the crosstown Yankees in five games in 2000. They will play at either Toronto or Kansas City in Game 1 on Tuesday night — the Royals lead 3-2 in the ALCS. But the first big question for New York is the health of centre fielder Yoenis Cespedes, who left in the second inning with soreness in his left shoulder. Any health issue for the slugger could be a big factor in the next round. The Cubs, meanwhile, still haven’t won the crown since 1908. Manager Joe Maddon’s wildcard bunch surged into this series, but was overmatched.

“They didn’t give us — they did not let us up for air at any point,” Maddon said. “Their domination of the early part of the game and their

MURPHY

pitching was impressive.”

When Dexter Fowler looked at a called third strike for the final out, Jeurys Familia dropped to his knees in front of the mound and then hopped up for a hug from catcher Travis d’Arnaud. They were soon joined by the rest of their jubilant teammates in the infield grass.

A small, but vocal group of New York fans behind the visiting dugout then chanted “Let’s go, Mets! Let’s go, Mets!” Long after the team had moved its celebration to the cramped visiting clubhouse at Wrigley, the fans continued with chants of “Four more wins! Four more wins!”

By wrapping it up fast, the Mets can now set up their imposing rotation how they want for the World Series.

Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard will all be on full rest, and then some.

Right when it looked as if his historic streak was coming to an end, Murphy connected for a two-run drive to centre against Fernando Rodney in the eighth inning. The second baseman raised his right arm as he rounded first after his seventh homer of the playoffs — the string includes a shot in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series at Dodger Stadium last week.

RECOGNITION

Coffey headlines 2015 class for Sports Hall of Fame LORI EWING THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Paul Coffey remembers early-morning practices at Maple Leaf Gardens as a kid. He would hang around until the Leafs arrived for their practice later in the day.

He remembers the day his dad arrived home with his “first pair of greens” — game tickets in an upper-middle section of downtown Toronto’s fabled hockey arena.

Wednesday, the 14-time NHL allstar stood under the grand ceiling of Maple Leaf Gardens — now the Mattamy Athletic Centre — to receive an honour he said is among his most special. He was one of a dozen athletes and builders in the

2015 class inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.

“We all know what it takes to be at the top and be the best, and be the best in Canada,” Coffey said of his fellow inductees. “To be involved in Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, there’s nothing better. Being able to represent your country and seeing that name ’Canada,’ and that flag is what it’s all about.”

Coffey went into the Hall with speedskater Susan Auch, Paralympic swimmer Michael Edgson, cross-country skiing twins Sharon and Shirley Firth, soccer goalkeeper Craig Forrest, Nicolas Gill in judo, women’s hockey player Danielle Goyette, freestyle skier Jennifer Heil, and cyclist Lori-Ann Muenzer.

Jocelyne Bourassa, in golf, and Marina van der Merwe, in field hockey, were inducted as builders.

Coffey was inducted a day before the 35th anniversary of his first NHL goal — “a slapshot from the point, top corner, against Calgary,” he said.

He’s known as one of the best defencemen in the history of hockey, helping the Edmonton Oilers to Stanley Cups in 1984, ’85 and ’87. He added another in ’91 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He won the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenceman three times, and still holds more than a dozen NHL records.

The Toronto native, whose three kids — sons Blake and Christian, who both play hockey, and daughter Savannah — were on hand to see

their dad inducted, remembered coming home to play at Maple Leaf Gardens.

“We used to come in with the Oilers in the early days for sure, there’d be a lot of hype. A few of those games we lost, I remember (Miroslav) Frycer getting four goals on us once (Toronto would win 11-9, in 1986),” Coffey said. “And the only people who went home from the rink unhappy was us, for a reason. But pretty entertaining hockey.”

At age 38, Muenzer beat a field of athletes half her age at the 2004 Games to win Canada’s only Olympic cycling gold medal.

“You look at everybody here and everybody has a story, some are similar, but not really. Each one is

so unique,” Muenzer said. “And it’s neat to see what everybody’s done.

These are people that I followed when I was growing up, and knowing more about them is that much more empowering.”

Forrest is Canada’s most accomplished ’keeper. He was the first Canadian to play in the English Premier League, for Ipswich Town and then West Ham United. He was named MVP and top ’keeper at the 2000 Gold Cup, backstopping Canada to gold.

“I loved playing for Canada,” Forrest said. “Certainly it was a dream of mine to play in the English Premier League or to try to get to the top echelon of professional soccer, and that dream was a hard road.”

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SOCCER

NBA

Madrid, PSG play to 0-0 draw

Cavs, Thompson agree to new deal

Christiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic unable to score for respective sides goal difference. Galatasaray reached four points with its first victory, while winless Astana remains in last place with only one point.

Lukas Podolski scored a firsthalf winner for Galatasaray after Benfica had opened the scoring through midfielder Nicolas Gaitan in the second minute and Selcuk Inan levelled the game from the penalty spot in the 19th.

Atletico travels to Kazakhstan to play Astana in the next round, while Benfica hosts Galatasaray in Portugal.

TALES AZZONI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADRID — Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic struggled as Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid played to a lacklustre 0-0 draw in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Manchester City found a way to earn a late 2-1 victory in a thrilling finish against Sevilla.

Atletico Madrid, Wolfsburg and Galatasaray all won, while Manchester United could not manage more than a 1-1 draw at CSKA Moscow and Juventus was held to a scoreless home draw with Borussia Moenchengladbach.

There was a lot of talk about Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic ahead of the high-profile match at the Parc des Princes, but neither player made an impact and the teams left with a point each to remain comfortably ahead in Group A. “Perhaps we lacked a bit of sharpness up front but we leave here happy to have picked up a point from a difficult ground,” Madrid captain Sergio Ramos said.

Here is a look at Wednesday’s Champions League matches: Group A Two wins each in their two previous group games, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid produced a largely sterile match at the Parc des Princes, but the result left both teams in good position to advance to the next round.

Madrid and PSG each have seven points halfway through the group stage. Third-place Malmo reached three points by defeating pointless Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 at home.

“I think we created more chances than PSG, we controlled the match against a difficult team,”

PSG’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic, left, is congratulated by Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane at the end of the Champions League group A soccer match in Paris, Wednesday. [AP PHOTO]

Madrid coach Rafa Benitez said.

PSG had the ball possession but just nine attempts at goal compared to Madrid’s 16. In the absence of the injured Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez, Benitez had to field a largely reshuffled team.

In the group’s other match, a first-half goal from captain Markus Rosenberg gave Malmo the win over Shakhtar.

Rosenberg collected a pass from Pa Konate and fired home in the 17th minute for Malmo’s first goal of the group stage, following two consecutive 2-0 defeats to PSG and Madrid.

Group B Anthony Martial gave away an early penalty and then scored the equalizer as Manchester United came back to draw 1-1 with CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday.

United’s struggles in Europe continued on a cold night in Russia, with Louis van Gaal’s men lacking creativity for much

of the game despite enjoying twice as much possession as the hosts. Wolfsburg’s 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in the night’s other group game leaves the German team top with six points at the halfway point of the group stage, two points ahead of United and CSKA, with PSV last on three points.

Bas Dost scored in the first minute of the second half and Max Kruse sealed Wolfsburg’s victory in the 57th.

Group C Saul Niguez, Jackson Martinez and substitute Oliver Torres scored a goal each as Atletico Madrid easily defeated Astana 4-0 to take the group lead with six points from three matches.

Atletico’s other goal came when Astana defender Denys Dedechko turned the ball into his own net just before the final whistle at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

Benfica, which lost 2-1 at Galatasaray, also has six points but trails the Spanish club on

Group D Last season’s finalist Juventus remained atop the group despite a dull 0-0 home draw with Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Apart from a dangerous free kick from Paul Pogba early in the second half that ’Gladbach goalkeeper Yan Sommer pushed away, there were few chances for either side in Turin.

Juventus has seven points, one more than Manchester City, which rallied to beat Sevilla 2-1.

Sevilla is next with three points, while ’Gladbach earned its first point. In Manchester, Kevin De Bruyne scored an injury-time winner as City continued its recovery in the group.

Playing as a lone striker in the final minutes, the Belgium playmaker collected a pass from Yaya Toure, cut inside and drove a low left-footed shot inside the far post in the first of four minutes of stoppage time.

“We had the character to try to win the game until the end,” City coach Manuel Pellegrini said.

Yevhen Konoplyanka had put Sevilla ahead in the 30th and defender Adil Rami unwittingly bundled the ball into his own net in the 36th to put City level.

TOM WITHERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — Already an elite rebounder, Tristan Thompson snatched a long-term contract from the Cavaliers.

The restricted free-agent forward has agreed in principle with the defending Eastern Conference champions on a five-year, $82 million contract, ending his holdout and giving the Cavs needed frontcourt depth as they enter a new season.

The team confirmed Wednesday night that it had a verbal agreement with Thompson, who helped the Cavs get to the NBA Finals last season by filling in for an injured Kevin Love. Thompson had been seeking a maximum deal, while the Cavs made it known they valued the former No. 4 overall pick, but weren’t going to overpay for a reserve The sides had been in an awkward stalemate, which threatened to carry over into the regular season. However agent Rich Paul, who also represents star LeBron James, and Cleveland’s front office were able to come to terms less than a week before the opener at Chicago. There’s a chance the deal will be finalized Thursday and Thompson, who has been working out on his own during the holdout, can begin practicing.

Thompson posted a photo on Instagram wearing a Cavaliers’ baseball cap.

“It’s been a long summer of grinding and hard work but now it’s back to The Land to take care of some unfinished business,” Thompson wrote.

With Thompson’s deal and extensions given this summer to James, Love, J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert, owner Dan Gilbert has shelled out nearly $300 million in guaranteed money during the off-season.

Thompson will be among the league’s highest-paid power forwards.

When Thompson declined to sign a one-year, $6.9 million qualifying offer from the team last month, it appeared he might be willing to sit out part of the regular season. James had called Thompson’s holdout a “distraction” and the impasse over the contract threatened to sidetrack the Cavs from getting back to the Finals.

FOSTER NIUMATA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGSHOT, England — It’s certain that Australia will concede penalties to Argentina within goalkicking range in their Rugby World Cup semifinal at Twickenham on Sunday.

In the Pumas’ biggest match since their last semifinal eight years ago, it’s Nicolas Sanchez’s job to turn those penalties into three points each.

No pressure then.

“It is important to get as close to 100 per cent as possible,” he said on Wednesday. “I will have to have the right mentality when I’m kicking because the

match could come down to one or two points.”

The Pumas need not worry; they have as reliable a kicker as there is in the tournament.

Sanchez has slotted 26 out of 30 attempts off the tee so far, for a second-best tournament tally of 74 points. He was almost flawless in the quarterfinal win over Ireland last weekend, with nine out of 10 — the miss hit the post — for 23 points.

“I am pleased with my form, and am trying to stay relaxed and quiet, trying to think about the team and not about my performance,” Sanchez said.

“Nerves are inevitable, but I will try to stay calm, not let the

nerves get to me, and ignore the pressure.”

The pressure is considerable.

The Wallabies go in as favourites, but not in the eyes of the Pumas and many others. The Pumas have attracted 40 per cent of the betting at British bookmaker William Hill since the weekend, including some who believe they will win the World Cup after impressively beating a depleted Ireland 43-20 in Cardiff.

Sanchez was at the heart of it. Still a defensive linchpin — he made all 10 tackles against Ireland — he has added an attacking nous to his repertoire, giving the backs a second

playmaker beside experienced No. 12 Juan Martin Hernandez. As usual, they’re feeding off a powerful pack, with fine service from Martin Landajo and scrumhalf backup Tomas Cubelli.

“Juan is a hero in the team, he’s a great leader for us,” Sanchez said. “He has a very good kick, and is the second flyhalf. It helps keep things very simple for me.”

When Ireland rallied to within three in the second half and Argentina was lapsing into errors, it looked like the Pumas were scared of winning. But flanker Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe had a word.

Letestu, McDavid, Purcell as Oilers beat Red Wings 3-1 THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Connor McDavid and Teddy Purcell scored in the second period as the Edmonton Oilers won their third straight with a 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.

Mark Letestu opened the scoring for the Oilers (3-4-0) in the first while Nail Yakupov added a pair of assists. Edmonton snapped an eightgame losing streak against Detroit

with the win. Tomas Tatar found the back of the net for Detroit (3-3-0), which lost its third in a row.

Letestu helped the Oilers get on the board with a power-play goal at 12:32 of the first period. Yakupov made a perfect feed in front of the net and Letestu was able to direct the puck past Red Wings goaltender Petr Mrazek. It was Letestuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal in an Edmonton uniform.

The Oilers had 11 first period shots to Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five on Edmonton starter

Cam Talbot, who made a couple of huge glove saves on a late Red Wings power play.

Edmonton went up 2-0 at 6:34 of the second period as Benoit Pouliot sent McDavid in on a breakaway and he beat Mrazek with a deke to score his fourth goal of the season.

The Oilers extended the lead just 30 seconds later as the rebound from a Purcell shot went off Detroit defenceman Kyle Quincey and into the Red Wings net.

SABRES 2, MAPLE LEAFS 1, SO Evander Kane tied it with 4:29 left with his first goal for Buffalo, and Matt Moulson and Tyler Ennis scored in the shootout to beat Toronto.

Kane pushed a wrister past goalie Jonathan Bernier. Buffalo acquired Kane from Winnipeg in February, but he was unable to play until this season after having shoulder surgery.

Chad Johnson made 23 saves to help Buffalo improve to 2-4.

@NanaimoDaily

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll remain focused on an achievement that’s about to happen. You often use your unpredictability to promote important causes. You might feel pressured by a higher-up or someone you care a lot about. Take time to relax. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You continue to take charge of a matter and carry it to fulfillment. You’ll be willing to work carefully to achieve this goal, even though some of the steps you need to take seem silly or petty. Take stock of your energy levels in the afternoon. Tonight: Do something just for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Detach and take a complete overview of what is happening around you.

You could be surprised by the difference in your perspective once you create some distance. Your imagination is likely to create exactly what you want. Tonight: Consider starting your weekend early.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be surprised by the behavior of someone who often appears to be dignified. Defer to others if you’re feeling confused or tired. If you feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket.

Be careful with wild risk-taking!

Tonight: Go along with someone else’s desire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your ability to initiate might not have the impact it normally does. Others seem to be quicker at taking action right now. Don’t worry; you won’t be excluded. You could choose to

BC

WORD FIND

DIVERSIONS 33

create some uproar if you want more control, but it would not be wise. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Curb a tendency to go overboard. A partner could surprise you, as he or she will act in an unexpected way.

Don’t try to control a child or loved one. You can choose only your own path; let this person decide which way is best for him or her. Tonight: Clear out an errand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ingenuity seems to make others demand less, which allows you to complete a project. Avoid working from home, as there could be a collision of wills. Refuse to get into a spat or power play; that type of interaction won’t be helpful.

Tonight: Let the kid in you out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be too tired for words. You might want to understand where a family member is coming from.

This person might be asking for one thing, but really wants another.

Refuse to have an argument. Be patient. Tonight: Get some extra R and R before the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Speak your mind, and get past a problem by having a discussion.

The unexpected could occur when you focus on a creative project or a new friend. Open up to greater give-and-take with friends and associates. Tonight: Let your hair down, and start the weekend early.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Curb any spending until you have more facts about an expenditure.

You might want to do some price comparison as well as make sure your checkbook is balanced. You

will want to spruce up your professional or community image.

Tonight: A must appearance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use today to the max. You are likely to receive positive responses, with the exception of one person who generally is quite controlling. Detach from a heated situation, and avoid frivolous squabbles. This matter will calm down given time. Tonight: Head out for live music.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Follow your instincts. As you test the water, you might want to maintain a low profile. Be careful with your funds. You easily could miscount your change or make a mistake somewhere in your budget. Don’t forget to reach out for a loved one.

Tonight: Feel free to do nothing.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22) This year your zest for living marks your actions. You seem to be more present in the moment. Your dayto-day life flourishes, especially as it becomes normal for you to be full of ideas. If you’re in a creative field, you are likely to create a piece of work to be proud of. If you are single, you could be pushing others away, as so many people express interest in being your significant other. Date, but don’t commit until that special person enters your life. If you are attached, romance seems to flow. The two of you will make a positive decision about your relationship. AQUARIUS makes you smile.

DEATHS

DEATHS

Michael PEARSON July 31, 1957 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 9, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mike, an incredible husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Our sweet man passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, October 9th, 2015 at Ty Watson House in Port Alberni. He left us too soon after a courageous ten-year struggle against cancer.

He lived a loving, colourful and musical life, bringing joy and encouragement to all who knew him. How blessed we are to have had him in our lives. We will miss his strong, warm hugs and his gorgeous smile. He was the definition of patience, kindness and love, and we will all carry that love with us in our hearts forever.

Mike was born July 31st, 1957 in Nanaimo, B.C. to Mabel Eileen Pearson and Clifford Albert Pearson. He graduated from NDSS in 1975, and in 1979 he moved to Port Alberni with his soulmate and soon-to-be wife Louise. Here he began to work for Canada Safeway and was an invaluable support to Louise and Carolyn as they established Finishing Touches together in the Alberni Valley.

An avid artist, Mike played guitar and sang in many bands throughout his youth and early adult life, including Nullis Secundus, Sassy, Main Street and Rekless. Since then he played guitar with Harbour City Big Band and also sang in Timbre! for several years which he absolutely adored.

Attending the Hornby Island Blues Workshop every May was the highlight of Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year. He was also well known for his photography, design and drawing skills including his Caricatures, highly-sought in the Valley and beyond for years.

On August 21st, 1982, Mike married the love of his life, Louise.

Together they shared a radiant love that will never cease.

They went on to have three beautiful daughters who were his entire world.

Mike is survived by wife, Louise; daughters, Larissa (Peter) Richards, Bryanna and Diana; parents, Mabel and Cliff; siblings, Neale (Denise) , and Heather (Don); brothers-in-law Bob (Cora) and Chris (Janet) and sister-in-law June; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family, and devoted friends, all of whom have been a tremendous help and comfort in his last months of life.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm, Saturday, November 7th, 2015 at Jericho Road Church, 5100 Tebo Ave, Port Alberni, with Pastor John Cox officiating.

Everyone is welcome. Mike has requested a tie dye dress code, so please wear it if you have it (or something bright as an alternative).

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ty Watson House Wish List at 2649 2nd Ave., Port Alberni, V9Y 1Z8.

Many thanks to oncologist Dr. Jason Hart without whom Mike may not have had ten extra years of health with his family. Also to Royal Jubilee Hospital and West Coast General Hospital. A heartfelt thank you goes also to the staff and volunteers of Ty Watson House, including Dr. Wendy Johnson, for their support and loving care of Mike and family in his final weeks.

Condolences may be offered at www.chapelofmemories.ca

AWARDS

Jay-Z copyright case thrown out

Comedian Chris Rock will host next Oscars

Judge dismisses Egyptian composer’s infringement case over 1999 hit Big Pimpin’ ANTHONY MCCARTNEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — A judge on Wednesday dismissed a copyright infringement case against rapper Jay Z over his 1999 hit Big Pimpin’ before the case was sent to a jury.

U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder ruled that the heir of an Egyptian composer did not have the right to pursue a copyright infringement claim. She did not explain her decision in detail, but told jurors she tossed out the case after hearing testimony from experts on Egyptian law.

The nephew of Baligh Hamdi, an Egyptian composer whose 1957 song Khosara Khosara is partially used in Big Pimpin’ sued Jay Z, producer Timbaland and several media companies in 2007. Flute notes that Hamdi composed appear throughout the Jay Z song, and nephew Osama Ahmed Fahmy claimed they had exploited Khosara Khosara without proper permission.

“We think it’s completely wrong, and we’ll appeal,” Fahmy’s attorney, Pete Ross, said after the ruling.

The abrupt end to the case came after the rapper and Timbaland testified early in the weeklong trial about creating the rap hit and their belief that they had valid rights to use the Egyptian song. It is rare for copyright cases involving major media properties such as films or music to reach the trial stage.

Timbaland paid $100,000 in 2001 to settle a claim about usage of Hamdi’s song, which was written for a 1957 film, and testified that he believed he could use it.

His attorney, Christine Lepera, praised the ruling, saying the hit-making producer had maintained throughout the eight-year case that he didn’t infringe on any copyrights

to create the music for the rap song.

Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, also said he thought he had a valid license to use the flute notes for the song that became his first major hit single.

“My client is pleased with and gratified by the decision,” Jay Z’s attorney Andrew Bart said.

Jurors heard from witnesses who described contracts and copyright laws in both the United States and Egypt and music experts who offered dueling interpretations of how important the Khosara Khosara flute

notes are to Big Pimpin’.

The flute notes are repeated throughout the song, which is a raunchy ode to a promiscuous lifestyle.

Ross has said the rap’s lyrics are at odds with the love ballad that Hamdi composed, but Carter’s lyrics were not an issue in the case. Jurors heard the beginning of Big Pimpin’ several times and saw a snippet of the music video, but the song was not played in its entirety during the trial.

The rapper performed at a New York concert to benefit his Tidal

music streaming service Tuesday night, but did not perform Big Pimpin’.

The case is the second time this year that a jury has heard a copyright infringement case involving a major recording artist. In March, a jury awarded Marvin Gaye’s children $7.4 million after finding that the 2013 hit Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied Gaye’s hit Got to Give It Up. A judge later trimmed the amount to $5.3 million, and the artists’ lawyers are contesting the verdict.

LOS ANGELES — Chris Rock is coming back to host the Oscars for a second time.

The show’s producers say the prolific comedian-filmmaker will be at the helm for the 88th Academy Awards on Feb. 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin called Rock “the MVP of the entertainment industry.”

The 50-year-old entertainer, who hosted the 77th Oscars in 2005, posted a photo of himself with an Oscar statuette on Twitter Wednesday with the caption, “Look who’s back.”

Rock is the only non-white Oscar host to helm the show in the past 10 years.

The film academy has visibly increased its diversity outreach efforts since it was derided earlier this year for its all-white slate of acting nominees.

Rock has won four Emmy Awards for his comedy series and specials. He recently directed the comedy special Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo for HBO. In 2014, he wrote, directed and starred in the feature Top Five, and in 2009, he produced, wrote and starred in the documentary Good Hair.

Rock created and produced the TV series Everybody Hates Chris, which aired from 2005 to 2009.

Other acting credits include the The Longest Yard, Lethal Weapon 4 and the Madagascar animated movies.

He also appeared on Broadway in 2011.

He was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1993.

ADVICE

Depression an illness often suffered in silence Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: It has been more than 30 years since I first received my diagnosis of depression and anxiety disorder. While working in a job I didn’t enjoy and anticipating the birth of my first child, I realized something wasn’t right about me.

I had moments when I was filled with self-doubt and anxiety. One day, while doing a seemingly benign task at work, I went into a devastating and negative spiral and started obsessing about the likelihood of losing my job.

At the urging of my wife, I sought professional help. I later learned I

was prone to catastrophizing, or attaching grave consequences to unimportant events.

I have worked hard, with the support of my family, to find the most appropriate and effective treatment.

While I still experience periodic setbacks, overall, I have responded well and have found a therapist who helped me identify and cope with my triggers.

Stigma is a very real factor when it comes to depression, and so many who share my illness, especially men, grapple with this in silence. My own experience has inspired me to help others and embark on a new journey as a writer. I want to share my story to let others know that depression is treatable and help is available.

October is Depression Awareness Month — the perfect opportunity to seek help for the first time. If you

are worried about yourself or a loved one, visit HelpYourselfHelpOthers. org to take an anonymous self-assessment for depression. At the website, you will learn more about the illness and available treatment options in your area.

— Michael Rafferty Dear Michael: Thank you for your honesty and desire to help others who suffer from depression and anxiety. Readers, please visit HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org to learn more.

housewarming party, so they were inviting us to a virtual housewarming party. The invitation included where they were registered for gifts.

I thought about copying and pasting a photo from the registry and emailing it with a note saying, “Your virtual gift is attached.” But I didn’t think they would understand that a real gift would not be forthcoming, so I did not respond at all.

Should I have sent a real one?

— Thought My Granddaughter Knew Better

Dear Annie: I know the younger generation likes to do things the easy way, but where do proper manners end and just plain laziness and the “gimme” attitude begin?

We received a postcard invitation from a newly married couple stating that they could not hold a real

Dear Thought: How nice that the couple can’t be bothered to entertain anyone or show them their new home (even a virtual tour), but they expect everyone to send presents anyway.

We know some people would have done just that, and as a grandmother,

you might have chosen to send them a gift for their new home even if they had not had a “housewarming” at all. But we agree that this type of invitation is pretty tacky. And what’s more depressing is that your granddaughter is not the only one doing it.

But we love your idea of a virtual gift for a virtual housewarming. Maybe if enough people responded that way, these ridiculous invitations would cease.

A new body-length styling ridge below the greenhouse helps to slim down the Escalade’s profile but there’s no way you can disguise the bulk of this SUV. The regular Escalade body is 5,180 mm. (204 in.) long while the ESV model stretches out to 5,698 mm. (224 in.). Both models are available in RWD or the latest 4WD system that replaces the previous passive AWD drivetrain. There are four trim levels, the basic Escalade, the Luxury, Premium and Platinum.

Safety advocates voice their concern with drafted bill the disclosure and timing of recalls, Mark Rosekind, head of the safety administration, told the hearing.

The draft bill also requires that a majority of the members of NHTSA committees developing cybersecurity and technology standards for increas-

ingly computerized and connected vehicles be made up of officials from industries the agency regulates. That could “seriously undermine NHTSA’s efforts to ensure safety,” Rosekind said.

“Ultimately, the public expects NHTSA, not industry, to set safety standards.”

The bill would also give automakers a break on greenhouse gas emission and fuel economy requirements if they install new safety technologies in vehicles even though NHTSA has already said it intends to require some of those technologies. Manufacturers would effectively get “a pass on pollution” for “doing things they are already doing,” said Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J. The provision is “essentially a congressionally sanctioned defeat device,” he said, referring to hidden software Volkswagen put in its cars to cheat on emissions tests.

Safety advocates were most critical of what’s not in the bill. For example, there’s no increase in the maximum fine of $35 million per violation that can be levied against automakers who don’t report safety defects or flout recall rules. The administration has recommended the limit be raised to $300 million, and safety advocates called for elimination of any limit.

There’s also no increase in money for NHTSA to hire more staff to investigate potential safety defects and oversee automakers despite complaints that the agency doesn’t have enough people to follow up on safety complaints.

The agency “just doesn’t have the capacity to do its job,” said Joan Claybrook, a former NHTSA administrator and co-chair of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.

The bill also doesn’t include provisions long sought by safety advocates to require that rental car agencies and used car dealers repair recalled vehicles before renting or selling them.

A transportation bill passed by the Senate in July would require rental car agencies, but not used car dealers, to make the repairs. Critics are overstating the ability automakers would have to delay recalls under the GOP bill’s provision requiring the government to co-ordinate with manufacturers, said Wade Newton, a spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.

Auto purchases shot up 1.8 per cent in September, while spending rose 0.7 per cent at restaurants and 0.9 per cent at clothiers.

More Americans are buying cars and dining out as the U.S. economy has entered its seventh straight year of expansion.

Spending increased amid a surge in hiring — 2.8 million jobs in the past year — that has slowed in recent months. The slowdown, caused largely by global pressures, has raised questions about whether retail sales and consumer demand can sustain economic growth in the coming months.

The September retail sales report hinted at lukewarm demand, with spending unchanged for the month once autos and gasoline sales are excluded.

“The latest report on U.S. retail sales activity was downbeat,” said Jennifer Lee, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. “Consumers continued to eat out, but electronics failed to get a boost, even with the launch of the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.”

But Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, noted that imported electronics and clothing have also become cheaper because of the stronger dollar, causing sales volume to look artificially lower despite a continued appetite for these goods.

Auto dealers enjoyed a busy September. The industry said it sold 1.44 million cars and light trucks last month, up 15.8 per cent from a year ago. Buyers took advantage of low rates for auto loans and incentives over the Labor Day weekend to unload cars before the new model-year vehicles arrive at dealerships.

People are also splurging more frequently at restaurants and bars. Sales at dining establishments have climbed 8.2 per cent this year. Restaurants and bars account for almost 13 per cent of all hiring in the last 12 months.

Yet overall retail sales have been muted for much of this year.

Spending at gasoline stations plunged 3.2 per cent in September because of lower energy prices.

DRIVING 41

Escalade’s interior like being in an exclusive club ESCALADE, From Page 37 Laird Wheaton provided a long wheelbase Premium ESV 4WD finished in Black Raven with Jet Black Leather interior plus a side order of the regular Escalade for comparison purposes. While both share the same specifications, the ESV’s extra length – and larger rear doors - means that access and third row legroom is greatly enhanced.

The carryover 6.2-litre V8 pumps out a robust 420 horsepower and in case you’re wincing at the thought of how thirsty it is, you’ll be pleased that it features an automatic fuel economy mode that shuts off up to 4 cylinders when the power isn’t needed. The result is an official

best-in-class 13.9/11.2 city/highway L/100 km.

That’s an improvement over the previous model thanks to the new 8-speed automatic transmission with manual mode.

Even with 4WD ground clearance and optional 22-inch wheels, the Escalade is easy to board thanks to the automatic side steps that hide discreetly out of the way under the body until you open a door. Once settled behind the wheel all sense of the Escalade’s bulk disappears.

The heated and cooled front bucket seats with inboard armrests have full power adjustments along with the pedals and the heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. Dialing in the perfect position is a snap. The second row buckets are also heated and can be flipped and tumbled

forward automatically making access to the third row much easier. This is the 7-seat configuration. If you want 8 seats, you can opt for a second row, 60/40-split bench. The third row is now ‘stow-and-go’ for greater convenience and with second and third rows folded, you have 121 cu-ft. of cargo space to work with.

Few vehicles can match the luxurious interior of the Escalade. This is like being in an exclusive private club, surrounded by the soft touch and smell of fine Jet Black Mulan Leather, elegant Santos Palisander Wood trim and Piano Black surround for the centre stack. Even the wide centre console, large enough to hold your laptop, is covered in layered, double-stitched leather. The 8-inch colour touch screen in the

centre stack is the hub for CUE – Cadillac User Experience – that functions like a tablet with touch features, device synchronisation and voice recognition for phone and radio. Standard Navigation provides constantly updated maps and Navtraffic (3 months free trial) relates current traffic conditions. The screen is also your rear-view camera. Five years of Onstar basic plan and one year service with Automatic Crash Response is included. Rear seat entertainment includes two 9-inch screens and first-in-class Blu–ray playback plus a builtin Wi-Fi hotspot capable of connecting up to 7 mobile devices.

If you want luxury, the Escalade does it all CADILLAC, From Page 41 Instrumentation includes a heads-up windshield display plus a 12.3-inch reconfigurable screen that uses graphics to show traditional gauges or three other displays for navigation, entertainment or 3-D vehicle images. But I have to say that in a luxury vehicle I want my gauges to have the luxury look and performance of fine quality chronometers like Rolex or Tag Heuer. A graphic screen doesn’t seem ‘luxurious’ to me.

On the road the Escalade is remarkably light-footed despite its size. The

ges. It is the fastest acting suspension in any production car in the world, taking the sting out of bumps and ridges while maintaining complete composure in high-speed corners. Touring mode provides the most comfortable ride while the Sport mode (borrowed from the Corvette) firms up the suspension, adjusts steering and shift points for a more athletic ride. In either mode, the Escalade is library quiet at any speed thanks to the Noise Cancellation system, inlaid triple-sealed doors and the use of acoustic laminated glass.
