OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered “all of Canada’s support” to France on Friday night in the wake of “deeply worrying” terrorist attacks in Paris that killed at least 120 people.

“Our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to our French cousins in this dark and terrible time,” Trudeau said Friday, moments before boarding a plane to attend the G20 summit in Turkey.

“We have offered all of our help and support to the government of France.”

Trudeau also said he was taking steps to ensure the security of Canadians was safeguarded.

“I’ve been speaking with our national security team to ensure everything is being done to keep people safe,” he said.

The co-ordinated attacks in Paris prompted a state of emergency in the French capital.

Some Canadians were uncomfortably close to the violence.

Mike Miltmore from Kamloops was eating dinner at a restaurant in the French capital when shots rang out nearby.

“Police came in with machine guns and everything like that, and they were shooing everyone out into the streets,” he told CFJC Radio in Kamloops.

“It’s actually a little scary when you don’t know what’s going on.”

The restaurant was evacuated and Miltmore was sent to his hotel room blocks away.

Amelia Aspen and her husband arrived home at their Paris apartment around the time the attacks began.

“We got a message from a friend saying, ’Something is going on in your neighbourhood, stay inside your apartment,’ and we did,” said the artist, who moved from Edmonton, Alta., with her husband in October.

Aspen said the couple had been watching the events on the news and listening to a lot of sirens.

Carolyne Ouellette was working at The Moose, a Canadian-themed sports bar in the

French capital, when reports of the attacks began coming in.

The bar was broadcasting the France-Germany soccer game where one of the attacks reportedly occurred, but there were no signs of terror, said Ouellette, who is from St. Catharine’s, Ont. Customers were checking their phones to see what was happening, but the mood was calm.

“Nothing seemed out of the ordinary,” Ouellette said.

Despite the state of emergency, Canadian flights to Paris appeared to be largely unaffected.

Isabelle Arthur, a spokeswoman for Air Canada, said the airline was monitoring the situation and planned to operate flights to

and from Paris as scheduled. She added that Air Canada had waived the fees for passengers who had tickets to Paris, but wanted to change their flight to a later date.

A spokeswoman for Air Transat said the airline had not cancelled any flights, but one had been delayed.

Trudeau said there was no indication that any Canadians were targeted. As word broke of the attacks, Canadian politicians expressed their condolences.

Rona Ambrose, interim leader of the Conservative Party and leader of the Official Opposition, called for “swift action to bring those responsible to justice.”

Men switched at birth want investigation THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Two Manitoba men are asking for a federal government investigation into how they could have been switched at birth 40 years ago at a federally run hospital.

Provincial Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson says DNA tests show the men were given to the wrong families after their mothers gave birth in Norway House on June 19, 1975.

Luke Monias and Norman Barkman are from the Garden Hill First Nation and grew up on a reserve that is only accessible by air and winter ice road.

Robinson says there were always doubts in the community about the men’s real identity

and they came to him for help earlier this year.

“The rumours had bothered them so much that they needed confirmation one way or the other for their own peace of mind,” Robinson told a news conference in Winnipeg on Friday.

The results were “shocking and unbelievable,” said Robinson.

The “irresponsible mixup” at the hospital has caused long-term damage to both men and their relatives, he said.

“The lives of Luke, Norman and their families have been irreversibly torn apart by this error, an error that cannot simply be overturned at this late time.”

The men need to know what happened so

they can begin to heal and regain trust, the minister said.

Robinson said “the mental, physical and spiritual well-being of both men has been deeply affected by the loss of their proper identity.”

“The effects on their immediate and extended families is just as serious. It’s also had a huge effect on the community itself.”

“I want the federal government to do an investigation why and how this happened to us,” said Monias. “I would like some answers for me and my family.”

Answers won’t come soon enough for at least two people: the biological father of Monias is deceased as is Barkman’s biological mother.

Nanaimo serves as tech hub Technology-based businesses continue to turn their attention to city

N

anaimo brothers Michael and Ian Reid are working to beat Facebook on its own turf.

Their company, Red Scotch Software, is developing Kube, a social media platform that promises to be a place to connect with friends without divulging users’ private data.

They could have set up their business in Yaletown, Gastown or any of Vancouver’s other funky tech districts.

Instead, they chose to stay in Nanaimo.

They are an example of a burgeoning tech sector starting to take hold in the Hub City.

Darrell “We’ve lived here Bellaart on the Island our Reporting whole life” Michael Reid said. “The Island, in our opinion, is a fantastic place, and we are in the Internet age now, so the ability to start up companies, and grow them, you don’t necessarily have to be in the important centres.”

The Reids set up their fledgling enterprise at SquareOne, a technology incubator downtown. SquareOne is a shared workspace community where entrepreneurs can work alongside one another in an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas to network, interact and grow. Tenants rent space provided by Nanaimo Economic Development Corp. while Innovation Island provides support through its venture accelerator program.

“It’s a light accelerator program,” said Paris Gaudet, Innovation Island executive director. “This accelerator program is all about accepting companies that have equitable market opportunities that are a scalable business model that has the potential to attract investment and create jobs.”

Nanaimo is no Silicon Valley, but its profile is rising.

Michael Reid, company owner

Its rating moved up almost 30 notches on the annual comparison of business-friendly cities for 2015, as ranked by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Nanaimo is now rated 39th of 121 Canadian cities, up from 77th last year, according to the federation’s annual Entrepreneurial Communities report.

“We have more startups in our community,” said Andre Sullivan, NEDC board chairman.

Another tech firm, Input Logic, is developing Postacio, a blogging platform built on the popular Evernote app.

The upstart firm employs eight, and operates from space leased at SquareOne. The project is next logical step after the company won gold at a San Francisco competition for Evernote users, in 2013.

The company’s goal is to create a platform users will pay for.

“We’re still developing,” said Gavin Vickery, a partner in Input Logic. “Our pay model is finally turning a profit for us, which is great.”

More startups are coming, and that’s the goal, because just like in Silicon Valley, when a certain amount of talent becomes concentrated in one place, amazing things can happen. Think Apple computers, Google or HP. For the Reids, who each have three children, staying in Nanaimo is important, because it means creating opportunity for future generations.

Michael wants to see more companies bring the talent needed to build critical mass, then “all of a sudden that spins off into other companies supporting other companies.”

It’s what happened in Kelowna, when the makers of the virtual online game Club Penguin were bought out for $350 million by a Disney subsidiary.

Disney chose to keep the company where it had flourished and

succeeded, and that sparked a community of talent that has made the Okanagan city B.C.’s third-largest pool of high-tech know-how, behind Victoria and Vancouver.

Nanaimo is number four. It technology-based industry includes leaders as Inuktun Robotics, VMAC compressors and Real Estate Webmasters, whose CEO, Morgan Carey, recently turned down a $2-million equity stake offer from Dragon’s Den. Together those three companies employ more than 200 people in Nanaimo.

But other progress is less visible, hidden behind the glass and mortar of SquareOne, in a storefront beside the Queen’s Hotel on Victoria Crescent.

The early-20th Century building has been painted and renovated, with hardwood floors, and other touches to make a funky office space for techies.

Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP takes on role as critic for status of women

presents...

EVA CASSIDY HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING starring Cayla Brooke and Tom Pickett

Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP Sheila Malcolmson has picked up the critic for status of women role in the NDP caucus.

Malcolmson, who was elected in the new riding of Nanaimo-Ladysmith on Oct.19, takes up the critic role in a much smaller NDP caucus than before the election.

“I’m honoured to be appointed to the NDP shadow cabinet as the Critic for the Status of Women,” Malcolmson said in a press release.

“Our experienced and united team is ready to get to work on behalf of Canadians as the progressive opposition.”

Downstairs, individual rooms provide more private workspace for companies with just a few employees to brainstorm, write and test machine code or consult with others to move their projects ahead.

The main floor has rows of desks with computers where employees can work together, side-by-side or separately on projects.

A wooden stairway leads up to a well-appointed, modern, open-plan kitchen with a large table and coffee counter with dark, richly stained bar stools to perch on.

In the corner is a big, old-fashioned, round-cornered fridge sporting a stylized decal advertising a band of craft beer.

The environment suggests the kind of work-life balance one might associate with the world of Google, Microsoft, HP and other high-tech giants.

Nanaimo is a long way away from Palo Alto, but its selling point is a sought-after quality of life.

It offers affordable housing, a safe environment to raise a family, a mild climate, fresh air, mountains and ocean. And it’s not too remote — bigger centres like Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary and Edmonton are just a few hours away.

“Nanaimo is poised because of lifestyle and other things we have here to really become a tech hub,” Gaudet said.

“It’s not going to happen overnight — maybe in five years — but we’re poised. We’ve never been in a stronger position.”

“We’ve lived here on the Island our whole life. The Island, in our opinion, is a fantastic place, and we are in the Internet age now.”

Malcolmson said she will push for affordable childcare, ending violence against women and holding an inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women as part of her work on the file.

“A lot of work has been done here in Nanaimo-Ladysmith to advance women’s and girl’s equality, but there remains much to be done locally and throughout Canada,” Malcolmson said.

“A clear priority is to take meaningful and significant action to address the violence being faced by our sisters, mothers and daughters, beginning with ensuring that no woman or child in need is turned away from a women’s shelter.”

MARIJUANA

Council: No involvement in pot decision DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo city councillors say they were not involved in an RCMP decision to enforce the law against medical marijuana dispensaries.

Mounties started issuing letters this week ordering cannabis retailers to close and stop trading in cannabis or face seizure, arrest and possible criminal charges.

City council has been awaiting a report from staff on its options to regulate dispensaries since summer,

and say police acted independently.

“All we are is the funding agency to RCMP,” said Mayor Bill McKay. Until now, police have been vague on why they have not acted against the businesses, which are not operating within the law.

McKay said the RCMP told him they would take action “when they had time and resources.”

Supt. Mark Fisher appealed to city council for additional resources earlier this year to deal with a hiring shortfall that goes back several years.

McKay said that situation hasn’t changed.

“They made it clear, the superintendent made it clear, they would deal with the issue as time and resources become available. How they allocate their resources within their detachment is their concern.”

To address a proliferation of pot dispensaries in Vancouver, that city wrote bylaws that spell out the rules for operation, including distances from schools and not to sell to minors. Regulation has reduced the

number of dispensaries in Vancouver.

Victoria took the same approach.

Police have taken no action to close dispensaries in those cities, but “one thing you have to remember, in both cases, Vancouver and Victoria have their own police forces, so the mayor is, in effect, the (chairman) of the police board,” McKay said.

In September, Coun. Jerry Hong advocated a similar approach for Nanaimo.

He and McKay said staff were working on a report on the subject, but to

date it hasn’t materialized. Now, with government mulling legalization, “we’ll have to wait and see what government will do,” Hong said.

First Nations studies prof talks research

Craft brewery and tap room opens doors on Comox Road in Nanaimo

DAILY NEWS

A Vancouver Island University professor is set to explore how the Métisse — referring to mixed-blood indigenous and Metis women — are represented in North America and abroad.

Allyson Anderson, a professor with VIU’s First Nations Studies program, will discuss her research in that area during a presentation on Nov. 20 from 10-11:30 a.m.

The talk, provocatively titled ‘Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves: The Contrapuntal Rantings of a Half-breed Girl,’ will look at depictions and assumptions made about women of indigenous background with a mixed racial background.

“Like the noble ‘Indian Princess’ and the ignominious ‘squaw,’ ‘the half-breed girl’ is indeed a stock character in the colonial imagination, but appears far less often in pop-culture narratives than do her Indigenous ‘cousins’,” said Anderson.

“When she does appear, the ‘half-breed girl’ embodies all of the social problems assumed to be the inevitable outcome of racial hybridity, as well as that of the modernization and urbanization of Indigenous people.”

Around the globe, Anderson said, the social status of mixed-blood women in the early stages of colonization varied according to their relationship to the means of production in their respective economies, which was in turn based on the status of women among those local Indigenous cultures before European occupation.

Anderson’s own roots reach back to Canada’s Red River Métis. She is pursuing a PhD in Native Studies from the University of Manitoba and has taught at VIU since 1997.

Departure Bay Session Ale, Yellow Point Pale Ale and Mount Benson IPA are among the offerings at White Sails Brewing, a new craft brewery and tap room that opened this week in downtown Nanaimo.

Located at 120 Comox Rd., the building had been a pub until recently.

With the assistance of wellknown Nanaimo architect Ian Niamath, co-owners Brad McCarthy Monty McKay have completely refurbished the exterior and interior of the building and added a new brewing room with the latest equipment from Esquimalt that is already busy brewing beer.

McCarthy, who also owns and operates Oceanside WineWorks in Parksville, has been following the growing popularity of craft beers across North America.

He felt the time was right to open up a craft brewery and tap room in downtown Nanaimo.

He said the location already has a liquor-primary licence so White Sails’ tap room will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will offer the brewery’s beers, a selection of wines and soups, sandwiches and other foods supplies by Bowen Road’s DISH Nanaimo.

“The vision is to create a gathering space where people can relax, meet with friends, celebrate an event or milestone and

enjoy fresh craft beers. It will also be a place where everyone feels welcome and where local musicians and artists can participate in jam sessions or open mike nights.”

McCarthy said brew master Tyler Papp has developed a number of brews with local names, and is in the process of creating more.

He said the plan is to have four core craft beers on tap in the tap room at all times, and at least four more that will be changed periodically to introduce new beers. McCarthy said White Sails Brewing’s beers will also be available in off-sales at the brewery and a number of private local liquor stores that specialize in craft beers.

“We are developing connections with the community, hiring local staff and brewing all our beer on the premises,” said McCarthy.

“I think there is lots of potential for us here in Nanaimo.”

◆ WEATHER

Ferries delayed Strong winds caused delays for Island-bound travellers Thursday.

Winds caused delays of evening sailings on the Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route.

The scheduled 7 p.m.

sailing from Horseshoe Bay was 35 minutes late.

The 9 p.m. sailing coming from Departure Bay was 45 minutes behind schedule.

“On the Duke Point-Tsawwassen route, we also experienced some delays due to the high winds,” said Deborah Marshall, BC Ferries

spokeswoman.

Both ships were more than an hour late by the end of the night, and some routes saw cancellations.

“Safety is our first priority and if we feel it is necessary to delay or cancel a sailing due to weather, it is the prudent thing to do.”

COMMUNITY COLUMN Vancouver Island

Unique women provide truly inspiring stories it’s selfish or that it’s not our place or that we don’t deserve.

It hard to express how participating in the launch of PowHERtalks is going to change me, but I know that it will, and already has. I am still in the process of processing; in awe of the women I got to sit and share and be brave with; in awe of one woman’s vision, a woman who truly embodies what it means to be a powerhouse.

She builds up, supports and propels not just women, but ideas that are so interconnected and so multi-layered that even now, after a process that started more than four months ago for me, I am just beginning to grasp.

“The speakers and support that came forward in Nanaimo for our very first event of our inaugural series have been very positive,” Charlene says when I ask her what she thinks of our city. “I believe it will just grow from here and we are looking forward to returning next fall.”

Between now and next fall experienced and novice presenters will share process both individually and collectively as they move from inspiration into action.

ighteen women. Eighteen lives. Eighteen unique and inspiring stories. I had the privilege of being one of 18 speakers at the recent PowHERtalks event in Nanaimo and I’m still processing the lasting impact this experience is going to have on my life.

The lineup of speakers was impressive: Josie Obsorne, the mayor of Tofino, whose community is now aligning together to deal with tragedy on the water; Diane Bernard, the founder of Sea Flora - Wild Organic Skin Care; Louise Mandell, chancellor at Vancouver Island University; Kerry Slavens, editor-in-chief at Douglas Magazine; and Andrea Rosato-Taylor, the publisher of this newspaper.

These are only five of the 18 speakers and while each one deserves mention and while each one shared their story with courage, integrity and heart, I try to avoid lists. I only get 500 words.

PowHERtalk events can be found at www.PowHERhouse.com.

PowHERtalks took place on Oct. 24 at the Shaw Auditorium at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre and is the first of six Ted-style events that will move across the country with an aim to connect more than one thousand women.

I already knew that the Nanaimo event host, Angie Barnard of The Network Hub, was a powerhouse.

I had never met a force quite like Charlene SanJenko before.

“I have been producing women’s

event for more than 15 years,” Charlene says via email from Gibsons. She’s a city councillor there.

My notifications from her social media activity are most active before 6 a.m.

Charlene says the concept of PowHERtalks has been percolating for about three years.

“I spend much of my time observing. I’ve observed an astonishing number of women with immense talent yet seemingly treading water.”

She says confidence, connections and access to capital are the biggest

barriers. PowHERtalks provides opportunity to develop all of these things.

Charlene puts a big emphasis on the process that is PowHERtalks and one of her favourite phases is “ the magic happens in the periphery.”

She asks every presenter to have an “ask” in their presentation; something the audience can support and assist with, a way for women to help propel other women forwards to achieve their goals. It’s not easy for most women to ask for things. We’ve learnt somewhere along the way that

OUR VIEW

Petty B.C. Ferries short-term parking cash grab must stop

Y

ou don’t pay to pick your son up from school, your daughter from hockey practice, your friend from the bus or your partner from the mall.

But apparently there is something different, something special, about BC Ferries — something that entitles them to reach into our pockets just because they can.

The sour BC Ferries practice of charging people to pick up loved ones at the Departure Bay ferry terminal is gougy and it needs to stop.

Sure, transportation hubs can be difficult to control and maintain and charging people a nominal fee for a 10-minute parking spot is one way of addressing those issues.

Information about us Nanaimo Daily News is published

by Black Press Ltd., B1, 2575 McCullough Rd., Nanaimo, B.C. V9S 5W5. The Daily News and its predecessor the Daily Free Press have been serving Nanaimo and area since 1874.

But it’s not the only way and these are weak excuses. Charge the long-term parkers, or the people riding the ferry.

Don’t extract your pound of flesh from the good folks taking time out from their day to give a friend or loved one a lift.

We understand the need of the ferry corporation to generate revenue, but people know the difference between a fee for service and getting squeezed, and it is abundantly clear which of the two is happening at the Departure Bay parking lot.

The people in the short-term lot are not there to benefit themselves, they are there to do somebody else a favour. And there is something fun-

damentally wrong with a third party greedily taking advantage of somebody’s good nature.

It’s even more distasteful when you understand that these Good Samaritans are already indirectly helping BC Ferries by bringing them customers.

They show up and are gone in 15 minutes if the ferry is running on schedule. They aren’t creating long-term traffic snarls — the lot is rarely full. And every car in that parking lot is tied to a customer already on the ferry. They are helping create revenue, not costs.

The scenario becomes all the more difficult to swallow when you see the parking attendant swooping in with-

in seconds of someone entering the lot. One reader even reports finding a fine on her windshield before she got back from paying for parking.

BC Ferries may be pinching a few extra pennies by reaching into people’s pockets as they await their loved ones. But it is costing them far more in good will.

Some people — maybe you can count yourself among them — will circle the lot multiple times in order to avoid paying the parking fee. And they will do so while happily burning more money in gas than they would have spent on parking fees.

The reason is simple: to avoid giving BC Ferries a dime as a matter of principle.

South waterfront has big potential Dave Witty Another View

Publisher: Andrea Rosato-Taylor 250-729-4248

Is that the kind of relationship any business would want to be building with their clients?

BC Ferries does not charge people for short-term parking at their terminals because of parking lot maintenance cost, or as a means to control traffic flow.

It charges for short-term parking simply because it can.

Stop the petty cash grab BC Ferries and show your customers some respect and appreciation.

In the long run, we will all be better off.

T

he South Downtown Waterfront (the area south of Port Place Mall) offers significant urban development potential for Nanaimo.

Over the past two years, the City of Nanaimo tasked the South Downtown Waterfront Initiative Committee to explore that potential.

In the spring of 2014, the committee tabled its first report and identified a vision and guiding principles for future development activity in the area.

Council endorsed the Committee’s work. Part of the committee’s advice centred on urging affected parties to explore the development of a charter to provide an overarching framework to guide future waterfront deliberations. As well, the committee suggested the use of an entity, corporation or like body to manage waterfront development.

As a result, council asked the committee to examine the creation of a charter and explore and identify an appropriate entity to manage the area. Over the course of nine meetings and one year, the committee met to examine those topics.

But, the committee came to the conclusion that the enormity of the task including the over-riding interests (some common, but some conflicting) of the City of Nanaimo, the Nanaimo Port Authority and Snuneymuxw First Nation was beyond the committee’s purview.

Rather, the committee felt that the three groups needed to come together themselves (and in the absence of the committee) to explore their interests, needs and potential areas of collaboration and that a Committee simply could not do what the leaders

The bridge leading from Esplanade to Port Way. Work continues in the effort to see the area reach its development potential. [DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO]

of those three bodies could. So, at the November 9 city council meeting, the Committee recommended that: “The two objectives of recommending a charter document and a development corporation for the South Downtown Waterfront Area, should be further reviewed at a later date, when the following conditions are present: • The key partners (City of Nanaimo, Snuneymuxw First Nation, and Nanaimo Port Authority) agree to the mutual benefit of preparing an integrated approach to the planning, development, and implementation of the South Downtown Waterfront Area.

• The Committee now formally requests, at this time, that Council suspend operations of the SDWC until there is clarity in direction”.

It is the Committee’s view that the significance of the waterfront and the associated interests warrant special attention and action from the City, the Port Authority and the First Nation.

Commonality of interest and approach could not be identified within the Committee structure and process.

Where does that leave us? What should happen?

There are many examples of other cities where waterfront development has been completed in very challenging situations that are not too dissimilar from Nanaimo. How did those waterfronts become major dynamic urban places?

It is my personal view that there are three key ingredients for the long-term success of waterfronts.

First, there needs to be a vision.

Such a vision was crafted and adopted in the committee’s first phase of work. That vision needs to be married to leadership and structural supports. What do I mean?

Leadership has been key in other successful waterfront redevelopment.

Such leadership is usually provided by a mayor and/or group of councillors (often working with highly regarded senior public servants) cajoling, prodding and inspiring

others to join in a collective ambition of waterfront renewal. In such instances, where large waterfront renewal was successful, a development corporation was formed to undertake the management of the complex issues, including very lengthy build out periods (e.g., Winnipeg’s Forks Renewal Corporation).

In Nanaimo’s case, the level of complexity is exacerbated with the need to incorporate the Snuneymuxw First Nation’s outstanding treaty obligations and associated rights and fact that the port authority is a federal supported agency with ‘special’ land use rights. Each of those parties must be engaged in a respectful way.

I believe there needs to be a conversation at the highest levels of all three groups to identify where common aspirations can form a foundation for the development of a charter that guides future conversations and activities. The vision adopted after Phase 1 of the committee’s work provides a basis for such a dialogue.

Further, it is my view that a development corporation, which has the three parties as partners, could provide the basis for strategic investment and revenue sharing.

Each party brings something to the table: The port authority has much of the land (but it and its users are moving to a deep port model); Snuneymuxw First Nation has outstanding treaty and rights that require consultation and could bring others to the table by way of land acquisition; and the city has the Wellcox lands and the mechanisms for facilitating action.

Yes, this will be complex. But the importance of getting the waterfront right is paramount to the longterm future of the city, the port and Snuneymuxw.

Lets give it a try.

Operation Red Nose kicks off its 20th campaign in Nanaimo

West coast of Island to see faster Internet

DAILY NEWS ANDREW BAILEY WESTERLY NEWS

Operation Red Nose in Nanaimo kicked off its 20th annual campaign in the city on Friday.

Each year during the Christmas season, a small army of volunteers set aside time from late November until New Year’s Eve to be on call to drive home those who have been out at restaurants, pubs, clubs and parties and who are not in a state to drive home safely.

When a call is made, up to three volunteers drive out to where a caller is, pick them up and drive them home in their own cars. Last year in Nanaimo, the volunteers racked up 11,089 kilometres by driving 1,049 revellers home safely.

“Operation Red Nose is a winwin program for the community,” said Drew Cooper, general manager of PacificSport Vancouver Island, the main sponsor for the program.

“The program saves lives by providing an alternative to driving under the influence during the holiday season, and all proceeds stay here in Nanaimo, pow-

ering sport in our community.”

Operation Red Nose will operate every Friday and Saturday night beginning on Nov. 27 and ending on New Year’s Eve.

Drew said there’s always a need for more volunteers and people can learn more about the program at www.PacificSportVI. com/RedNose.

Nanaimo store brings home 2015 Torch Award DAILY NEWS

Servicexcel in Nanaimo has been recognized for its excellent customer service.

The store, which specializes in heat pumps, took home top honours on Vancouver Island for customer service in the heating and air conditioning category at the 2015 Torch Awards, held recently in Victoria. Hosted by

the Better Business Bureau on Vancouver Island, the annual awards program honours Island businesses committed to ethical marketplace practices in a number of categories. Each year, businesses are selected through a regional competition to receive a BBB Torch Award for Ethical Commerce.

Servicexcel was only winner from Nanaimo this year.

“It’s the first time we have won a Torch Award and we’re really pleased to be recognized by the entire Island,” said Servicexcel manager Hilton Wing. “It was a team effort on behalf of our great staff.”

While most of the awards went to businesses in Victoria this year, a number of mid-Island companies also won in a variety categories.

Oceanside Roofing in Parksville took top honours in the roofing contractor category, while Parksville’s M&N Mattress Shop Ltd. won in the community engagement category. X2 Lewis Modern Home Renovations in Qualicum Beach won the top prize in the construction category, and Moore’s Cleaning & Maintenance Service in Comox won in the cleaning services category.

The long-anticipated arrival of fibre-optic Internet is just a few months away for residents on the west coast of the Island.

Faster Internet speed and added online capacity has been promised before, just to be scuttled by budget-based snags, but this time around both companies involved have assured the switch will be flipped in the spring of 2016.

The roughly $12-million project includes BC Hydro replacing about 350 of its poles along a roughly 65-kilometre stretch of Highway 4 for Telus to string fibre optic cables through.

Hydro’s shovels officially hit the ground earlier this year and Hydro spokesperson Karla Louwers said last week that the work should conclude by the end of November. She acknowledged the company is coming in about a month behind schedule but said a late addition of 10 unexpected pole replacements pushed the project back.

“From the original scope of the project we were on time, it’s those 10 additional poles that were added that were outside of the scope,” Louwers said.

“We’re not just replacing poles, we’re also replacing and upgrading some of the equipment on the poles.”

She said crews are working with a live 60-thousand volt line that could not be turned off without cutting off power to the entire region.

“Usually when crews work live-line it does take a little bit longer to complete that work because there’s that extra precaution built into those work methods,” she said. “That circuit is a critical circuit; it’s the only feed to the west coast. If we were to have to take it out the whole community would be out so it was essential that we were able to complete that work using live-line methods.”

VICTORIA

Pair successfully navigated Northwest Passage KENDRA WONG VICTORIA NEWS

Laurence Roberts and Mary Anne Unrau have done what less than 200 vessels have done in the last century — they successfully sailed the Canadian Northwest Passage.

The passage connects the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.

First sailed by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen from 1903-1906, the passage was once explored as a potential trade route, however changes in the pack ice caused by climate change have made the waterway difficult and at times, dangerous to travel.

Enter Roberts and Unrau.

The 67-year-old duo, who have sailed more than 90,000 nautical miles in their boat-turned-home, decided to sail the passage from St. Katharines Marina in London, U.K. to the Causeway Marina in Victoria — a so-called home base for the world travellers.

In the past, they’ve sailed from North America to New Zealand, New Zealand to Australia, down to Tasmania and to the French Polynesian.

They also spent a summer in Norway and most recently sailed to Hawaii and Mexico. The couple have been sailing for the better half of their life and after retirement, decided to sell their home and see the world through a nautical lens.

“In the cities, it’s dealing with the cultural experience and dealing with another language. Travel without deadlines,” said Roberts He has been sailing since he was 26 years old.

“It’s like a portable home. It’s more

like travelling and being at home at the same time.”

On March 2013, the sailors set off in their 45-foot, 15-year-old steel sailboat Traversay III for the eight-month journey.

The first part of the voyage through

the east of the passage offered views of rising cliffs, flocks of birds and tall mountains.

However, the second half of the passage had its share of challenges.

In the Arctic Ocean, often the boat would get stuck in ice and they would have to wait hours before it would break up so they could carefully float through.

“The uncertainty and having to be up all the time (was a challenge),” said Unrau, a retired school teacher.

She said they would get sleep in fourhour intervals.

“When it was time to go, even if it was one in the morning, if the ice was moving towards you, you got going. It was a big physical challenge for me to stand my watches.”

But moving past the ice opened the boat up to spectacular scenery — air so clear that shores and mountains 80 kilometres away on the other side of the channel looked crystal clear, along with a number of polar bears and seals.

“It was all like it was painted on a backdrop. It was so clear,” Roberts described.

The duo documented their journey and will present a photo journal of it at a fundraising event for the Victoria Baroque Music Society.

PORT ALBERNI

Airport expansion key in awarding of contract KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The runway at the Alberni Valley Airport hasn’t been expanded yet but new investments are already coming.

“We’re announcing today that we’ve been the chosen installer and manufacturer of the new C295 tanking system,” said Coulson Group CEO Wayne Coulson at a press conference this week at the AVRA. The announcement has been a year and a half in the making.

According to Airbus Defence and Space, they and the Coulson Group “have signed a memorandum of understanding covering the industrialization, supply and support of the new water bomber version of the Airbus C295W transport aircraft.”

The tanker system was designed in the Alberni Valley, said Coulson.

“This tank design was designed locally here by (Coulson Aircranes manager Britton Coulson) and his team working with the Airbus team out of Spain,” Coulson said.

“The C295 is an exciting aircraft—it’s a twin engine machine that we will be bringing a prototype of to Port Alberni late next year for the tank installation.”

The installation of the tanking system will involve “two internal tanks of 3,500 litres each, able to transport water or retardant and able to be refilled in under seven minutes,” according to Airbus.

Where subsequent planes will be retrofitted is yet to be decided.

“They may feel more comfortable to install it in Spain, however my expectation is that they’ll bring them here

because the cost structure is much less than some of the mega-factories.”

Coulson has big plans for the refitted jets.

“The 295 will be one of the competitors going into the search and rescue contract which is bid in mid-January . . . the C295 is one of the leading aircraft and the contract will be a multi-million-dollar contract with the Canadian government for the replacement of the Buffaloes.”

The distinctive yellow C-115 Buffalo transport and rescue planes fly out of 19 Wing Comox. If the C295 is chosen as the winning bid, Coulson will reap the benefits.

“This positions our company to be a significant supplier to that contract in the way of support that they’re going to need to put those airplanes together.”

While he couldn’t comment on the number of airplanes the Coulson Group would be retrofitting, Coulson did say that with 150 C295s out there already the number would be significant.

The airport expansion was instrumental in getting Coulson the C295 retrofitting contract, he said.

“The new airport expansion is a key critical factor in us being awarded such a large contract as this,” he said.

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District is currently waiting on the results of grant funding applications; however, the ACRD secured permission to borrow up to $6 million to cover the full cost of the runway extension if the funding isn’t awarded. The federal Strategic Priorities funding could pay for the entire $7.5 million airport expansion.

Victoria teen inventor appears on ‘Jimmy Fallon’

Woman, 85, fights off attacker in b&e

UBC student made international headlines with her science fair exploits KOLBY SOLINSKY BLACK PRESS

F

ew people have been on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. Canadians, even fewer.

How many of those same people have been on Fallon twice? One of them is Ann Makosinski, an 18-year-old inventor from Victoria and a first-year student at the University of British Columbia. “I’ve been very lucky, and it was a lot of fun,� she said on the phone from her dorm in Vancouver. “The crew, everyone there remembered me. It was a great experience, just going to New York in general. It was a lot of fun.�

In 2013 and 2014, Makosinski made international headlines as the winner of her age group at the Google Science Fair.

Her invention, the hollow flashlight, powered only by the heat of the human hand, made headlines, too. It was complex and simple, brilliant and obvious at the same time.

With the flashlight came other accolades, with profiles in several major international and American media outlets, a place in Time magazine’s 30 Under 30, and a chance to star in prime-time.

She got to riff with Jimmy on the Tonight Show that year, showing off her flashlight. And in October, she debuted her new creation — the eDrink — on the show, as well, and Fallon even remembered her from her first appearance. “Jimmy Fallon was charming, as per usual, and asked which university I was going to,� she said. “He took a selfie with me after the show.�

Ann’s flashlight invention came about because she was trying to help her friend in the Philippines, who said she couldn’t study properly for high school because she didn’t have enough access to electricity.

Awards and a certain form of fame followed, and she’s hoping a patent will be finalized for the flashlight soon.

It would have been easy for her to just focus on graduating high school, maybe taking a gap year, or moving on up to university.

But easy wasn’t on the agenda, and the eDrink is. Along with her studies, of course, which she’s been balancing with her scientific entrepreneurialism for the past two years.

A West Kelowna man has been arrested after a break-in at the home of an 85-year-old woman who fought back against her attacker.

RCMP say a man broke through the kitchen window of the home at around 2:45 a.m. on Oct. 25.

Const. Jesse O’Donaghey says the suspect tried to tie the woman up with a phone cord and gag her during a struggle that lasted 20 minutes.

The woman who suffered minor injuries eventually got away and ran to a neighbour’s house.

O’Donaghey says the suspect stole the woman’s wallet and was arrested the next day after her credit cards were used at several stores.

Twenty-four year-old Benjamin Barnhart is expected to appear in court on Monday. — CANADIAN PRESS

Victoria’s Ann Makosinski is a first-year student at UBC who has invented a battery-free flashlight and a phone-charging thermos. She has appeared on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jimmy Fallon twice, and has won awards for her creations at science fairs hosted by Google and Intel. [@ANNMAKOSINSKI ON TWITTER]

“Jimmy Fallon was charming, as per usual, and asked which university I was going to.�

Ann Makosinski, student

“That’s one of the earliest prototypes of the drink,� she said, of the model she debuted with Fallon. “It’s hard when I’m at school, but I do want to keep working on that. I definitely want to get that into production.�

The eDrink is a thermos that takes the heat from your drink and turns it into energy that can charge a phone, or (seemingly) anything else with the right USB. Like the battery-free flashlight, the eDrink, which won fourth place at this year’s Intel science fair, was also created to cure a couple inconveniences.

There are two things college students carry like a badge, coffee and their cell phone. You’re often waiting for one to cool off and for the other to charge up, so why not kill two birds with

one stone? “Inventions are born out of a need or a problem,� she said. “My friends are always drinking coffee, so why not combine that?�

Because her inventions so far have centred around turning heat into electricity, Makosinski also celebrated another accomplishment recently. She said she’s been named the face of Uniqlo, a massively popular and expanding Japanese retailer, and their new fleece product. “It’s kind of a global campaign, which is insane,� she said. “So that was super-surreal. It was a lot of fun on the shoot.�

The fleece ad’s theme is to show something that captures human heat and uses it for something else, Makosinski says, reciting the near definition of what her hollow flashlight does. “I think it will be something that always follows me around,� she said, of the flashlight. “So I have to keep that in mind and make sure I dedicate part of my day to working on that.�

But of course, there are other practical tasks at-hand; she’s a brand-new student at one of Canada’s most revered universi-

ties, so she’s settling into both the campus, a new city, and an adult life, all while she’s keeping the laboratory alive. “I’m just trying to manage my time, I try to get up really early,� she said. “You have to do your laundry and learn and take care of yourself. “I think it’ll always be a struggle for me because I’m not a straight-A student or a genius or whatever, I’m not like that.

School has always been a struggle for me, with or without any extracurricular attention or anything like that.�

And of course, the more she invents, the more she wows us, her audience and her home crowd. And the more the audience expects. “It’s pressure,� she said. “It’s nice having attention but at the same time, it puts pressure on you.�

So how do you shoehorn all that into the tiny 24 hours the day allows? Of course, it’s a one-day-at-a-time sorta thing, she said. “I think you have to take everything in milestones, and getting to the next and going from there.�

JUSTICE

NHLer plans to plead guilty to grizzly hunt THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — An NHL player accused of illegally shooting a grizzly bear on British Columbia’s central coast intends to plead guilty, says a Crown lawyer.

Clayton Stoner of the Anaheim Ducks faces five charges for a hunt in 2013, but his case was adjourned Friday.

Prosecutor Jim Cryder told a provincial court judge that he spoke with

Stoner’s lawyer, who, along with Stoner, did not appear in court.

“Mr. Stoner, through his counsel, would like to enter a plea, as I understand, as soon as possible and dispose of the matter,” Cryder told the judge.

A legal articling student who appeared on behalf of Stoner’s lawyer, Marvin Stern, confirmed that intention to Judge Brent Hoy. Stoner has never denied the hunt, which sparked outrage after photos published in a Vancouver newspaper

two years ago showed him holding a bear’s severed head.

But the former Port McNeill resident did not meet residency requirements to have a hunting licence, according to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.

Stoner is charged with two counts of knowingly making a false statement to obtain a hunting licence. He also faces separate counts of hunting out of season, hunting without a licence and unlawfully possessing

dead wildlife. Outside court, Cryder said it was not unusual for the case to be delayed.

“It takes time to negotiate things and have agreement,” he said. “It’s a slow process.”

He added that Stoner is not legally required to attend the hearings and a lawyer can enter a plea on his behalf at a future date, which has not been set.

About a dozen people who protested before the hearing and are

demanding a ban on trophy hunting were disappointed that the case has been postponed at least three times.

“Clayton Stoner is used to penalties in his hockey career, but this should be the biggest penalty of his life,” said Mary-Sue Atkinson, from North Vancouver.

The bear, which local residents had named Cheeky, was killed in an area known as the Great Bear Rainforest.

Police arrest ‘superhero’ in high-risk gunpoint takedown in parking lot of fast-food outlet

Three police vehicles destroyed

LAURA RODGERS ABBOTSFORD NEWS

KOOTENAY NEWS ADVERTISER

In a “high -risk” gunpoint takedown, Abbotsford police arrested a 29-year-old man dressed as Marvel superhero Deadpool in a fast-food restaurant parking lot.

Once they found out his sword and handgun were harmless props, they let him go.

According to APD Const. Paul Walker, police received reports of a costumed man carrying apparent weapons in the Clearbrook Road and South Fraser Way area at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday.

He was wearing what witnesses describe as a “homemade”-looking version of the comic book character’s outfit, including a red face mask, long-sleeved top, katana and sidearm.

Police approached the man, guns drawn, and took him into custody.

“A search of the man noted that (his) ‘weapons’ in fact were fake,” said Walker. ““Given the nature of the call, we responded to the situation very seriously and took steps to ensure the safety of our citizens,” he continued.

“Poor decision making on the part of the man played a large role in yesterday’s call.”

The man told police he wore the costume to promote the upcoming 2016 film Deadpool, an X-Men spinoff in which Ryan Reynolds will

Three police vehicles were destroyed Thursday by a stolen truck after a report of a theft in progress.

Kimberley RCMP responded to a theft in progress at a local golf course.

An officer responded to the location, where he came across an approaching truck that purposefully struck the police vehicle. The truck fled after hitting the marked police vehicle.

The officer determined that the truck was a stolen vehicle. A second officer was approaching the scene and his vehicle was also struck.

Police were able to follow the suspect vehicle into the downtown area of Kimberley. Once into the downtown core, the vehicle stopped, backed up hitting the front of the police vehicle.

The subjects started down a dead end with a police vehicle behind, realizing they were trapped they turned around and attempted to hit the police vehicle again, but the officer was able to get out of the way.

At this point the suspect driver lost control and veered off the road and struck a building damaging the business front.

The suspect vehicle headed towards the local ski hill, where again officers were able to contain the vehicle, the driver rammed both police vehicles disabling one and was able to take off.

The suspect vehicle drove into the Kimberley Ski Hill maintenance yard where again two police cars were able to box the suspect vehicle in and get it stopped.

Two suspects fled on foot, but were apprehended a short distance away.

One suspect was taken to hospital for possible injuries.

Two police officers sustained back injuries as a result of the collisions; a third police officer sustained an injury to his eye during the foot pursuit.

The investigation is in the preliminary stages with the suspects facing possible charges of possession of stolen property, flight from police, dangerous driving and theft.

play the eponymous wisecracking anti-hero. Many of the movie’s scenes were filmed in the Lower Mainland this spring.

Police gave the man a stern talking to and then released him at the scene, without charges. They did, however, force him to change out of

his costume and carry it home in a bag.

This isn’t the first time someone dressed as this weapon-toting superhero caused conflict with police. In Sydney, Australia in 2014, an insurance contractor named Reuben Rose donned a Deadpool costume, com-

plete with multiple fake guns and swords, and hopped on a commuter train to travel to a comic bookthemed charity fundraiser.

Police clad in bulletproof vests initially arrested Rose, then let him go once they found out his arsenal was harmless.

HEMLOCK VALLEY

Resort will see more than $1B investment JENNIFER FEINBERG CHILLIWACK PROGRESS

A unique collaboration and a bold master plan will lead to a major transformation of Hemlock Resort into an all-season resort.

A five-phase expansion of the ski hill was announced Thursday from Hemlock Valley, featuring an innovative partnership between the B.C. government, Langley-based Berezan Group and Sts’ailes Band.

“Hemlock Resort has been an

important contributor to the local economy for decades,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness.

“With this new master plan, Hemlock is better positioned to support continued economic development and tourism in the Fraser Valley as a unique all-season resort.”

Since buying the resort in 2006, the proponent has invested $10 million into upgrades for 217 private homeowners. Now the “controlled” recreation area of the resort is set to

explode from 350 hectares to 6,000 hectares.

CEPCO president Brian Coombes said he could see the inherent logic of turning Hemlock Resort into a year-round attraction. There are currently 1,076 units and four ski lifts, with plans to increase the ski hill infrastructure to 23 more lifts over the build-out period of 60 years, with 20,000 additional residential units.

Phase I of the expansion should see a $500 million investment, cre-

ating 1,153 FTE jobs, with another $1 billion over the years for Phase 2 to build-out. Officials signed an “impacts benefit agreement” which maps out opportunities of the proponent and Sts’ailes First Nation, such as a joint venture development on nearby Harrison Lake.

Lakefront ideas include a indigenous-themed residential project and small marina, with a focus on yearround recreation like mountain biking, hiking and ATV use.

Watchdogs call for education on cyberbullying THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s privacy and children’s watchdogs are urging the province to make cyberbullying education a mandatory part of the school curriculum and teacher development.

Privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham and children’s representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond submitted a joint report to the B.C. legislature on Friday, calling for a co-ordinated, cross-ministry strategy to prevent online harassment. “The high-profile suicides of

recent years of Canadian teenagers — including B.C.’s Amanda Todd — appeared to be a response to particularly vicious cyberbullying,� the report said. “These tragic cases, and many other instances of exploitation of young people, have brought the issue of cyberbullying to the forefront of public consciousness.�

Todd, 15, took her life at her Port Coquitlam home in 2012 after an explicit photo of her was shared on Facebook. The report highlights her case, as well as that of 17-year-old Rehtaeh Parsons, who killed herself

in 2013 after a picture circulated of her alleged sexual assault.

The report, which included firsthand input from youth, calls for action from B.C.’s education and justice ministries, social media companies, Internet providers and parents.

A statement from the Education Ministry said it has “taken a number of actions on cyberbullying� and would build on an existing anti-bullying strategy to address concerns raised in the report. “Bullying is bullying, whether it happens behind a computer screen or face to face,� said Education Min-

ister Mike Bernier, whose ministry will take the lead on responding to the recommendations.

Denham and Turpel-Lafond said there’s no data available to assess the impact of the ministry’s existing strategy, called ERASE Bullying (Expect Respect and a Safe Education). It includes an online tool for victims to anonymously report bullying to schools, as well as a five-year training program for educators on all forms of bullying. “It is a very small initiative in terms of resources and does not represent a comprehensive response to the

The watchdogs asked the ministry to go a step further and develop learning objectives on cyberbullying to be included in the curriculum as soon as possible. They also want the subject to be a mandatory part of professional development for teachers across the province.

They also pointed out that cyberbullying is different from face-to-face bullying in a number of ways, including that there’s a wider audience for victimization online. “A post can go viral in an instant,� the report said.

Cabinet ministers get their orders from prime minister

Ontario cap-andtrade will put price on carbon

Mandate letters spell out key elements of Liberal Party’s election campaign platform THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau has instructed Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to review federal court cases and end any appeals or positions that run contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Liberal commitments or values.

That direction is among the formal guidance the new Liberal prime minister spelled out Friday in detailed mandate letters to the 30 members of his cabinet.

The letters include key elements of the Liberal campaign platform, such as ending Canada’s combat commitment against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant; holding an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women; rewriting the Conservatives’ omnibus security bill; and initiating a process that will lead to the legalization of marijuana.

But the missives also contain specific new commitments or provide a time frame to pre-existing promises.

Transport Minister Marc Garneau, for instance, is instructed to immediately formalize a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic on British Columbia’s North Coast.

The ban effectively ends the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, which would see Alberta crude oil flow to the B.C. coast, said Karen Mahon, director of the group ForestEthics Advocacy. “Without tankers, crude oil has no place to go.”

Wilson-Raybould, meanwhile, is expected to begin overhauling federal litigation Monday by abandoning the previous Conservative government’s planned — and highly controversial — challenge in a case involving the niqab.

The Conservatives had asked the Supreme Court of Canada to hear an appeal of a ruling that said it was unlawful to prohibit women from wearing a face covering at a citizenship ceremony.

Trudeau has also asked Wilson-Raybould to review changes to the criminal justice system and senten-

cing reforms over the past decade to ensure public safety and value for money.

In addition, the prime minister wants her to work with Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale to address gaps in services to indigenous Canadians and those with mental illness throughout the justice system.

Goodale himself is being asked to lead a multi-departmental review of existing measures to protect critical infrastructure — such as energy and water facilities — from cyberthreats.

Social Development Minister JeanYves Duclos will steer development of a Canadian poverty reduction strategy that would set targets and measure and publicly report on progress — a move applauded Friday by

A common theme woven through many of the mandate letters is a government-wide commitment to combating climate change.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion’s letter cites development of a North American clean energy and environment agreement as a key priority, as well as “making Canada a leader of international efforts to combat climate change.”

Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains and Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr are also heavily invested in the climate file, charged with investing in clean technology producers and supporting innovation in clean tech. Carr has also been asked to “modernize the National Energy Board” and to support the North American clean energy agreement.

jurisdiction” for investment in clean technology.

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna is asked to provide leadership on reducing emissions, fighting climate change and pricing carbon.

McKenna, who this week cleared the City of Montreal to dump eight billion litres of untreated sewage into the St. Lawrence River, is also charged in her mandate letter to “renew our commitment to protect the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River Basin and the Lake Winnipeg Basin.”

Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland is told to implement the massive Canada-Europe free-trade deal, known as CETA, after an agreement in principle was struck in October 2013.

As for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the letter says she may consult on “Canada’s potential participation” in the deal that includes 11 other Pacific Rim nations.

Top of the list for John McCallum, the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, is the instruction to lead government-wide efforts to resettle 25,000 refugees from Syria in the coming months.

In his letter to Science Minister Kirsty Duncan, Trudeau emphasizes the need to restore the government’s relationship with the scientific community, which was strained under Harper.

Hunter Tootoo, minister responsible for the Coast Guard, has been asked to fulfil a promise to reopen the Maritime Rescue Sub-centre in St. John’s, N.L., and the Kitsilano Coast Guard Base in Vancouver, though no timing is mentioned.

TORONTO — Ontario is preparing to introduce a cap-and-trade system in 2017 to put a price on carbon emissions and reduce greenhouse gases, and it will mean extra costs for businesses and individuals.

A document circulated to industry and business leaders this fall for comment shows the Liberal government wants to reduce Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions to 15 per cent below 1990 levels by the year 2020.

Ontario plans to link its cap and trade plan with similar programs in Quebec and California, which the discussion paper said would “help level the international playing field by harmonizing carbon prices across jurisdictions.”

It says the cap and trade scheme will have to start by Jan. 1, 2017, and would require that the limit on emissions decline by 3.7 per cent each year to achieve the 2020 target.

Quebec’s cap is scheduled to decline between 3.2 and 3.7 per cent a year between 2015 and 2020, while California’s is set to decline 3.1 to 3.5 per cent.

There are estimates the plan could generate up to $2 billion a year in revenue for the Ontario government, which Premier Kathleen Wynne pledged would be reinvested in projects to help the province get to a lower carbon economy.

Industrial and institutional sources that produce at least 25,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year would be able to purchase carbon allowances that they can hold or trade with others if they come in under their own cap in any year.

The document shows there are a lot of rules still to be worked out, such as which sectors or companies should be covered by cap and trade, which ones should get free carbon allowances to help them adjust to the system, and who should make those decisions.

The first auction of emission allowances for Ontario companies would be held in March 2017, and similar auctions would be held quarterly, initially just for Ontario but eventually joint sales would be held with Quebec and California.

The Ontario Progressive Conservatives have called it a “tax on everything” since companies will likely pass on costs of cap and trade to consumers.

The government has promised to release its climate change strategy by the end of this year.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Canadian Press ◆ MANITOBA

Prison locked down for search A federal prison north of Winnipeg has been ordered locked down.

The Correctional Service of Canada says its is conducting what it calls an “exceptional” search of the Stony Mountain Institution to protect the safety of inmates and staff.

Stony Mountain houses both maximum- and medium-security inmates.

Assistant Warden Guy Langlois says guards are looking for contraband, a term that refers to drugs or weapons.

Visits have been suspended until the search is complete, which could take about four days.

◆ QUEBEC

Murder trial to wrap next week The first-degree murder trial of Guy Turcotte has heard from its final witness.

Toxicologist and Crown expert Martin Laliberte was cross-examined by the defence today, concluding the presentation of evidence for both sides.

Final arguments are scheduled to start Tuesday beginning with the defence.

Turcotte has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his son, Olivier, 5, and his daughter Anne-Sophie, 3.

The ex-doctor has admitted to causing their deaths, but his lawyers argue the 43-year-old should be found not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder.

Defence lawyers tried to cast doubt on the reliability of Laliberte’s conclusions.

◆ CALGARY

Man arrested in fatal stabbings Charges are pending against a man following the fatal stabbing of two women last month in a northeast Calgary home.

Police say a 30-year-old man has been arrested and is being interviewed by detectives from the homicide unit.

The women were found dead on Oct. 19 by officers who had been called to check on the welfare of an individual.

An autopsy showed that Selamawit Alem, who was 54, and 25-year-old Julie Tran died of stab wounds.

CRIME

TERRORISM

Pull Bernardo book, says lawyer for victim families

‘Jihadi John’ likely dead in drone strike, says U.S.

COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Online sales giant Amazon has an ethical and moral responsibility to yank a self-published fictional ebook by notorious Canadian killer Paul Bernardo, the lawyer for his victims’ families said Friday.

Irrespective of the law, Tim Danson said responsible corporate entities have a duty to make good-taste judgments.

“I would take Amazon to task — and I’m sure the families would, too — in giving a sadistic, sexual sadist and psychopath this kind of platform,” Danson told The Canadian Press. “They’ve got lots of other things to do to make money.”

According to the blurb on Amazon, the 631-page “A Mad World Order” involves a plot by a “secret cabal” to return Russia to a world power, ensnaring a man in machinations that involve the Russian Mafia and al-Qaida.

While Bernardo, formerly of St. Catharines, Ont., does enjoy constitutional free-speech protections, Ontario law

prohibits criminals from profiting from their crimes — in his case the first-degree murders of Leslie Mahaffy, 14, and Kristen French, 15, in the early 1990s.

As a result, Danson said he would reluctantly be reviewing the novel to see whether it has anything to do with Bernardo’s hideous videotaped rapes and murders, offences for which he was declared a dangerous offender.

“I’d want to satisfy myself on behalf of the (victims’) families that he hasn’t disguised his crimes through fiction, because that would be an indirect way of doing what he can’t do directly,” Danson said.

The Canadian Press has not been able to confirm Bernardo is the author of the book, but his lawyer told Global TV he was aware his client was writing a book.

Neither Amazon nor Bernardo’s lawyer responded to repeated requests for comment.

Correctional Service of Canada said while the e-book may be offensive, it was fictional and did not relate Bernardo’s “specific” crimes.

Families of victims say death of killer offers them little solace LOLITA C. BALDOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military is “reasonably certain” its drone strike in Syria killed the masked Islamic State militant known as “Jihadi John,” who appeared in several videos depicting the beheadings of Western hostages.

But families of the hostages brutally killed last year said his presumed death is little solace.

Army Col. Steve Warren, U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, told reporters Friday that officials had been following Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British citizen, for some time.

“The intelligence indicators that we had gave us great confidence that this individual was Jihadi John and when the opportunity presented itself — with the opportunity for minimal civilian casualties — we took the shot,” Warren said.

“This guy was a human animal, and killing him is probably making the world a little bit better place.”

Another U.S. official told The Associated Press that three drones — two U.S. and one British — targeted the vehicle in which Emwazi was believed to be travelling in Raqqa, the Islamic State’s self-proclaimed capital in northern Syria. The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity, said the U.S. drone, armed with a Hellfire missile, struck the vehicle.

Warren said that Emwazi and one of his friends were apparently killed, and there were no civilian casualties. Officials are using a variety of human and signals intelligence, social media reports and other methods to confirm Emwazi’s death. A Turkish offi-

cial says authorities there have detained a man they suspect is linked to Emwazi. The man, who they strongly believe to be Aine Lesley Davis, was detained in Istanbul.

Warren said the operation was one in a string of targeted attacks on Islamic State leaders, adding that the U.S. has killed one mid- to upper-level Islamic State leader every two days since May. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the strike had been a joint effort to hit the British-accented militant, whom Cameron called the group’s “lead executioner.”

Cameron also said the strike had been “an act of self-defence . . . a strike at the heart” of the Islamic State group.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, appearing at a news conference in Tunis, Tunisia, declared that extremists “need to know this: Your days are numbered, and you will be defeated.”

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that U.S. coalition warplanes struck an Islamic State vehicle as it left the governor’s office in Raqqa, Syria, killing four IS foreign fighters, including a British commander.

The Observatory said the bodies were charred, and Observatory chief Rami Abdurrahman said the commander killed in the attack was most likely Emwazi.

Emwazi, believed to be in his mid-20s, has been described by a former hostage as a bloodthirsty psychopath who enjoyed threatening Western hostages. Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa, who was held in Syria for more than six months after his abduction in September 2013, said Emwazi would explain precisely how the militants would carry out a beheading.

Those being held by three British-sounding captors nicknamed the militants “the Beatles,” with “Jihadi John” a reference to John Lennon, Espinosa said.

Israeli dad, son shot dead by Palestinian NEBI QENA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — A Palestinian gunman ambushed an Israeli family in the West Bank on Friday, killing a father and his son, while clashes with Israeli security forces killed two Palestinians in the latest escalation of violence.

According to the Israeli military, the Palestinian attacker opened fire as the family was driving near the West Bank city of Hebron, killing the father, who was in his 40s, and his 18-year-old son.

It was the latest in a two-month wave of violence in which Palestinian assaults on Israeli civilians and soldiers have become an almost daily occurrence.

Hebron, the largest West Bank city, has been a particular flashpoint in the current round of Israeli-Palestinian violence. Several hundred Jewish settlers live in fortified enclaves in the city, amid tens of thousands of Palestinians.

The military says that over the past month, Palestinians have carried out dozens of attacks in Hebron alone, including more than 20 stabbings, multiple assaults with cars and other vehicles and several shooting attacks.

Israeli media aired footage from the aftermath of the attack, showing a crashed car by the roadside. The reports said there were seven members of a West Bank settlement family in the car, driving home to celebrate the Jewish Sabbath when they were attacked.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed condolences and vowed to hunt down the attackers. “We will find the despicable murderers and bring them to justice as we have in the past,” he said in a statement.

Channel 10 released a dramatic audio of a call it said was from one of the passengers in the car calling rescue services as the attack unfolded. In the recording, a man’s voice can be heard saying they have a passenger wounded in the head and that an ambulance from the Palestinian Red Crescent had arrived at the scene but sped away, leaving them there.

The gunman used an AK-47 assault

rifle and more than 10 bullets were fired, the TV station said, adding that he had accomplices. The military said the attacker fled the scene and that troops were searching the area.

Dr. Tzvi Perry from Soroka hospital in the southern Israeli town of Beersheba said “five wounded people from the same family” were brought to the hospital. The mother had light injuries to the chest and limbs; a son sustained a gunshot wound in the leg and three young girls had minor scratches, he said.

Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, praised the attack but stopped short of claiming responsibility.

Since mid-September, most of the Palestinian attacks have been stabbings, targeting seemingly random pedestrians or people passing by, but Friday’s attack appeared to be more carefully planned and executed.

It was reminiscent of a similar incident in October, when Palestinians shot and killed an Israeli couple in front of their four children, including a four-month-old infant, as the family was driving in the West Bank. Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency later arrested five Palestinians it said were part of a Hamas cell that had carried out the attack.

The current round of bloodshed was triggered by unrest at a major Jerusalem shrine revered by both Muslims and Jews, and quickly spread to Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza border.

Israel has accused Palestinian political and religious leaders of inciting the violence that is glorified in detail on Palestinian social media sites. Palestinians say the violence is due to a lack of hope for gaining independence.

My wife and I subscribed to the Nanaimo Daily News for a few years some time ago. We stopped subscribing due the fact the paper (in it’s previous format) was cumbersome to read, and to be honest, the journalists were not that great. Now that it is in a Tab format it is much easier to read and the stories are well placed in proper sections.

I even enjoy reading the advertisements as again they are colourful and easy to find. We also like reading the sports section – especially Marc Weber’s soccer column.

Now the paper is filled with national, international stories plus good local coverage.

I knew once I saw the Tab format that I would be back as a subscriber. Keep up the good work!

CFL

Lions don’t mind being the underdog JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

B.C. Lions quarterback Jonathan Jennings has filled in well for the injured incumbent Travis Lulay and the rookie is ready to lead his time into the CFL playoffs on Sunday against the Calgary Stampeders. [BC LIONS PHOTO]

Jennings has Lions, and their fans, believing ED WILLES THE PROVINCE

E

ight weeks ago, Jonathon Jennings woke up in Calgary as the B.C. Lions’ second-string QB who, outside his immediate family in Columbus, Ohio, the loyal following of the Saginaw Valley State Cardinals and the 34 people who watched the Leos’ pre-season, was completely unknown to the larger football world.

This is what’s happened since.

In just seven games Jennings has established himself as, arguably, the CFL’s brightest young star while driving the Lions into the playoffs and helping resuscitate a franchise that was starting to grow mould.

The Leos now meet Calgary in the Western semifinal Sunday. More importantly, they report both season-ticket renewals and new subscriptions are up since Jennings took over the starter’s job, which explains why, when you go to the team’s website, you’ll see Jennings staring back on the title page.

This weekend, he also returns to the place where his wild ride started.

On Sept. 18, Jennings was watching from the sidelines at McMahon Stadium when Stampeders defensive lineman Freddie Bishop pancaked then-Lions’ starter John Beck midway through the second quarter.

Enter Jennings, who promptly threw for 252 yards in 2½ quarters while looking more like a 10-year veteran than an untested rookie from a small

Division II school in Michigan, and he hasn’t looked back since.

This week, Jennings was asked if he’s taken time to reflect on these last eight weeks; if he’s considered everything that’s happened to him and how his life has changed.

“It’s been a big flip,” he says. “It’s been really exciting.”

Uh, did we mention he was working at an auto-parts warehouse in Columbus a year ago?

“To have the opportunity come my way was huge,” Jennings continues.

“That’s really all you can ask for.

Last year, I lost some hope because it was like, man, am I ever going to get the opportunity to play? I always believed in myself, but I needed that opportunity.”

Jennings, he of the six career CFL starts, leads the Lions into Calgary and it’s safe to say the Leos won’t be overburdened by expectations in this playoff matchup.

They finished the season 7-11. The

Stamps went 14-4. John Hufnagel’s team is the defending Grey Cup champs. The Lions haven’t won a playoff game since the 2011 Cup. Calgary’s team is loaded with decorated vets. The Lions could have as many as 15 first-year starters in their lineup Sunday.

So the Leos aren’t exactly the favourites. But since Jennings took over control, they’ve been a different team. Through weeks 14 to 19 of this season — the period that covers Jennings’ six starts — the rookie had the highest efficiency rating of any CFL quarterback, threw for the most touchdowns (15) and the third-most yards, not far behind most outstanding player favourite, QB Henry Burris.

In short, he’s provided the same level of quarterbacking for the Lions that Bo Levi Mitchell provided for the Stamps and Mike Reilly gave the Eskimos. The Lions also went 3-3 in those six games, which was enough to earn an invitation to the league’s postseason party.

Clearly, the team has improved under Jennings. On Sunday, we’ll find out just how much.

“His play makes you optimistic,” said Leos defensive back Ryan Phillips, the 11-year vet. “I can’t say we were too optimistic for the first eight, nine weeks (of this season). It was a roller-coaster. But he made us confident. Yeah, guys might have had some questions, but his play made us confident.”

As for what lies beyond this week-

end, that’s the most intriguing part.

Lions coach Jeff Tedford has been in the coaching dodge for 26 years and, during that time, he’s built his reputation on developing QBs. He was asked what Jennings’ emergence means to the Lions.

“Everything revolves around that position,” said Tedford. “ There are other things that go along with it, but when your quarterback’s playing well, everything falls into place.”

And everything is falling into place for Jennings, on the field and off.

Three weeks ago, he drove Abby, his high-school sweetheart, up to Whistler, stopped in Squamish and presented her with a ring. He bought the ring before the game in Calgary that started all this, but there was something about the timing of his proposal that just seemed right.

“It’s been a long season and I’ve learned a lot and grown,” Jennings says.

“You have to reflect on what you’ve done. Obviously, you don’t want to dwell on it, but some really good things have happened.

“I’m going to take some time, look back on this season and see how I’ve progressed, and see where I can get better.”

And he’ll see many things when he sits down to reflect on this season.

Mostly, he’ll see a future that stretches out before him like an open road.

EWilles@theprovince.com Twitter.com/willesonsports

VANCOUVER — Andrew Harris and the B.C. Lions don’t mind being counted out.

“I’ve been an underdog pretty much my whole career,” the running back said this week. “I like being in that situation.”

The Lions find themselves in exactly that position heading into the Sunday’s CFL West Division semifinal in Calgary. Oddsmakers don’t like their chances, and neither does at least one television pundit, who told a national audience that all the Stampeders need to do is “show up” to get a victory over the B.C. at McMahon Stadium.

“It’s always nice being the underdog because people don’t expect you to do anything,” said Lions rookie quarterback Jonathon Jennings. “Let everybody think what they want to think and we’ll go out there and take care of business.”

While it’s no surprise the team is using the skepticism as a rallying cry, it can be justified when looking at the Lions’ entire body of work to this point. B.C. (7-11) had an up-anddown regular season under first-year head coach Jeff Tedford, but put things together when it mattered most down the stretch to secure the No. 3 seed in the West.

One of the big reasons for the resurgence was Jennings, who took over from injured starter Travis Lulay in September, held on to the job once the veteran QB was back healthy and will make his first playoff start against Calgary.

“It’s another game, but I’m excited,” said the 23-year-old. “Obviously the stage is going to be a little bit bigger.

“We’re just all excited to go out there. My preparations isn’t changing.

I have to attack the game the same.”

Calgary (14-4) beat B.C. in both meetings this season, but the second victory came in last week’s meaningless finale that had the feel of an exhibition game as the teams rested starters on both sides of the ball.

Lions linebacker Adam Bighill led the CFL with 117 tackles and is one of the leaders on a young defence that has improved over the course of the campaign. Like the rest of his teammates, he’s fine with being overlooked.

“It’s the way people have looked at us all year,” said Bighill. “But at the same time we’ve been getting better every week. We’ve shown continuously on film that we can do some great things. When we come to play offence, defence and special teams, I know that hands down we can play and beat these guys.”

B.C. defensive back Ryan Phillips, who finished in a three-way tie for the league lead with six interceptions, added that the Lions are peaking at the right time as they get set to face the defending Grey Cup champions.

“There were teams begging us not to make the playoffs,” he said. “I feel like they see the team that we could be. We show potential, we show growth and I feel our best football is still ahead of us.”

Desjardins puts all his chips in on Hansen with the Sedin twins Canucks head coach replace Radim Vrbata on the top line and first power play unit

W

illie Desjardins is going all on in on Jannik Hansen with the Sedins.

The head coach ordered his code red Friday, replacing Radim Vrbata with Hansen on the Canucks first power play unit.

I can’t remember Hansen ever being there before. Can you? Can he?

“Of course I have,” Hansen said. “In Junior. It’s a while back.

“It’s obviously new to me, we’ve had so many talented guys here, goal scorers. There really hasn’t been that big of an opportunity for me.

There is now, and there’s lots of reasons for it, including even strength deployment, a feeling along the lines of “we gotta do something,” and, most surprising, the Canucks need Hansen’s defence on the power play.

Both Henrik Sedin and Desjardins cited game flow as one of the reasons driving the switch.

“It’s always good when you have the guy you play with 5-on-5 also play on the power play,” Henrik said.

“It’s easier for Willie to get the lines going. A lot of times, when Vrby is there, it takes four shifts before you can get back to Jannik again.”

But obviously, the real impetus for a shake up is because the Canucks have just been getting drilled on special teams.

Not only are they 1-for-19 in November on the power play, they’ve been giving up as many quality chances as they’ve been generating, and with a man advantage that, uh, shouldn’t be happening.

“We just haven’t been good enough on the power play,” Desjardins said.

“We haven’t been good enough.

SPORTS BRIEFS Compiled by Daily News ◆ SOCCER

B.C. Place named as one of world’s top stadiums B.C. Place Stadium has made British soccer magazine FourFourTwo’s list of 100 best football stadiums in the world.

At No. 95, the Vancouver venue ranks ahead of Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge (No. 100).

“Despite sounding like Fred Flintstone’s address, B.C. Place is beautifully futuristic,” says the magazine.

“With stunning symmetry resembling a Spirograph drawing, myriad cables snake around to hold up the retractable roof and the giant scoreboard that hangs delicately above the pitch.”

Jason Botchford The Province “We have to do some kind of changes. We have to do something.

“It’s not just what we’re getting, it’s what we’re giving up. We’re giving up too much on our power play. We have to make sure we take care of that “There’s a few things there.”

The real loser here appears to be Vrbata, who will be buried on

the second power play unit. He was skating with Jared McCann at even strength and I have to say I’m intrigued by the combo which includes those two and Chris Higgins.

“As a player you have to find a way,” Desjardins said. “Everything isn’t always fair.

“I can certainly understand why he’d be frustrated his game isn’t going the way he wants. It’s hard for him when he gets moved around.

“It’s frustrating for him right now.”

The first power play unit now includes both Alex Burrows and Hansen, who has four power play points in nine years.

Is Hansen ready for this?

“Every time you play with them, the game is on your stick,” Hansen said. “You score, you win the game, if not, we might be short a goal somewhere.

“It’s always pressure when you play with them. I mean, when you play with them on the power play it just adds to that.”

Henrik said Hansen’s one timer is vastly underrated.

“I don’t know,” Hansen said. “I feel I’ve showed it enough times, that people know about it.

“I think every player these days can shoot the puck. Stick technology, it might be.”

Linebacker Cory Greenwood appears ready to resume his 2015 season.

Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich said Friday he believes Greenwood will come off the six-game injured list in time to play in the Argonauts’ East Division semifinal game Sunday afternoon against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Tim Hortons Field.

Greenwood, from Kingston, Ont., missed extended time with his second concussion of the season.

The concussions, both suffered in Hamilton, were the first the 30-yearold had ever experienced since he started playing football.

The six-foot-two, 237-pound Greenwood said he could’ve played in last weekend’s 21-11 win over Winnipeg if the game had serious implications for the Argos, who were already assured of finishing third in the East Division regardless of the outcome.

Greenwood said while he feels fine physically, he’s fully aware of the potential health implications playing football can cause.

DOPING

Russian track team suspended, could face Olympic ban STEPHEN WILSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Russia’s track and field federation was suspended from international competition on Friday, leaving it in danger of missing next year’s Olympics in Brazil unless the country cleans up its act on doping.

The provisional suspension was approved by a 22-1 vote during a teleconference of the ruling council of the International Association of Athletics Federation. It’s the first time the IAAF has ever banned a country over its doping record.

IAAF President Sebastian Coe convened the meeting after Russia was accused of widespread, systematic cheating in a report released Monday by a World Anti-Doping Agency commission.

“This has been a shameful wake-up call and we are clear that cheating

“Our reaction is calm.

We didn’t expect anything else.“ Vitaly Mutko, Russian Sports Minister

at any level will not be tolerated,” Coe said after a meeting that lasted nearly 3 1/2 hours. Coe was under heavy pressure to take tough action, despite efforts by Russian officials to avoid a blanket ban by agreeing to co-operate and make reforms in their anti-doping system.

“It is the strongest sanction that we could apply tonight,” he said. “It is why our council has sent such a strong message.”

The suspension takes effect immediately, barring Russian athletes from all international track and

field events until the country can prove it has put its house in order.

Coe said Russia will need to fulfil “a list of criteria” to win reinstatement.

An independent inspection team led

by Norwegian anti-doping expert Rune Andersen will be appointed in the next few days to check on Russia’s progress toward fixing its doping problem.

Coe was asked whether the Russian federation would be able to reform in time for its athletes to compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which run from Aug. 5-21.

“It is entirely up to the Russian federation and Russia to enact those changes,” Coe said. “Our verification team will be tough. . . . It is for the IAAF and no other organization to make that judgment. We will get the change that we want and only then will Russian athletes be able to

return to competition.”

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko criticized the decision as “very strange,” saying that the IAAF should have focused on its own legal problems. Former IAAF President Lamine Diack is under investigation in France on charges of taking bribes to cover up positive drug cases in Russia.

“Our reaction is calm,” Mutko told The Associated Press. “We didn’t expect anything else.”

The minister said he is hopeful Russia will be able to compete at the world indoor championships in Portland, Oregon, from March 17-20.

“We’re ready for the world indoor championships if it works out in such a way that we make it,” he said. “Anyway, the main thing is the Olympics.”

Mutko said earlier Friday he was

“completely sure” that Russia will be able to compete at the Olympics.

“We may miss one or two competitions, but for athletes with clean consciences to miss the Olympics or a world championships would be real stupidity,” he said.

Under the terms of the IAAF suspension, Russian track and field athletes and their support personnel — such as trainers and coaches — are barred from international events, including World Athletics Series competitions and the Olympics.

Unless the Russian federation voluntarily accepts a full suspension, the IAAF will hold a hearing to elevate the provisional penalty to a full suspension. Russia will also be stripped of hosting the world race walking championships in Cheboksary from May 7-15, and the world junior championships in Kazan.

BCHL

Clippers crushed 7-3 by Bulldogs at home Alberni posts five goals in second period to win second half of home-and-home series between two rivals SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Twenty-three games into the season, and Mike Vandekamp still isn’t sure which Nanaimo Clippers team is going to show up.

Is it the group that beat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 3-1 on Tuesday or the one that was blown out by the last-place Trail Smoke Eaters four days earlier? Lately, it’s been a crapshoot for the defending Island Division champions. But last night, it was the latter.

Tied 1-1 at the first intermission, the Clippers allowed the Alberni Valley Bulldogs to score five goals in a span of 5:32 in the second period and, after a couple goals in garbage time, lost 7-3 to split the home-and-home series between the two Island Division rivals. When it rained, it poured.

For just the second time this year, Sheldon Rempal was shut out. He lost his perch atop the BCHL scoring race to Penticton’s Tyson Jost, who now has 44 points to Rempal’s 33.

And Evan Johnson, the Clippers’ new goaltender recently brought in from the Western Hockey League who had showed promise as of late, allowed six goals on 25 shots before being replaced by Jakob Walter.

“Was our goaltending good enough?

Absolutely not,” Vandekamp said.

“Was out D-core good enough? Absolutely not. Was our forward group good enough, Absolutely not.”

Matt Hoover, Corey Renwick and

Will Reilly scored the Nanaimo goals.

The Clippers, though, remain in a tie for first place in the Island Division with a record of 12-10-0-1.

They host a Langley Rivermen team tonight at 6 p.m., a team that will also be doing some soul-searching after a 9-3 loss at the hands of the Powell River Kings Friday night.

Vandekamp said his team will have to use their heads a little more tonight than they did against the Bulldogs.

“It wasn’t as much effort (being the issue) tonight, we were just really dumb,” he said. “You’ve got to play with a little more smarts than that.”

The Clippers are still carrying three goaltenders, and at some point will need to get down to two.

They brought in Johnson to compete with incumbent starter Jonathan Reinhart and Walker, but Vandekamp remains unsure of who will be the winner of that competition.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” Vandekamp said. “We had a couple pretty good starts from Evan there, and tonight wasn’t good. So I don’t know. Do you fix from within, or do you look outside?

“It’s not like goalies are growing on trees, so I think internally, the guys are going to have to fix the problem and play better.”

Barsby Bulldogs begin playoff run today

Mariner men shoot down Eagles, 116-68

DAILY NEWS

After an unexpectedly short 2015 regular season that saw two teams elect not to play the John Barsby Bulldogs merely to protect themselves, high school football playoffs are here — and there’s no backing out.

Today at 12:30 p.m., the provincial No. 2-ranked Bulldogs host the Moscrop Panthers in the first round of the playoffs at Merle Logan Field.

For the Bulldogs, it officially marks their title defence of their last two Varsity AA B.C. championships for the 18 Barsby seniors who for the rest of the way will be playing each game to extend their high school football careers.

For senior linebacker Parker Bowles — a starter since the 10th grade — it’s a rare chance to graduate the program with three rings at the Varsity level.

For Grade 11 runningbacks Justis MacKay-Topley and Matt Cooley, it’s their first chance to carry the load at this level in meaningful games.

For the whole team, it’s a chance to cement their school’s reputation as a high school football dynasty.

The Bulldogs haven’t lost a game since Week 3, a non-conference game against a Mt. Douglas Rams

DAILY NEWS

that game will be in Nanaimo if Barsby comes out on top today.

The winner of that game goes on to the provincial semifinal.

The Vancouver Island University Mariners aren’t ranked as the top team in the country for nothing, and the Kwantlen Eagles found out why on Friday night in Surrey.

Led by the 32 points of forward Josh Ross, the Mariners beat the Eagles 116-68 to move to 4-0 on the season.

Ross, an American transfer in his first year at VIU, was five-of-eight from three-point range.

The Mariners also got contributions from a plethora of Island products.

Victoria’s Curtis Wilson finished the game with 17 points, Duncan’s Jerod Dorby had 10, and Jason Fortin and Bryson Cox, both of Nanaimo, finished with 12 points each.

The Mariners were playing their third straight road game Friday, and today they head to Chilliwack to play their fourth — this time against the Columbia Bible College Bearcats.

Their next home game is on Nov. 20 against the Langara Falcons.

They went undefeated in conference play, with both the Nanaimo Islanders and Ballenas Whalers forfeiting to them citing injured rosters.

Cavaliers beat Knicks for eighth straight victory Mo Williams hits tie-breaking jumper as Cleveland wins it 90-84 BRIAN MAHONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One-handed receiver breaks school record JOSH REPLOGLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa. — The closer you get to Cambridge Springs High School football practice, the louder the cheers get.

“He’s going all the way!” one coach yells after a receiver leaps above a defender, snatching the pigskin above a cornerback’s head and sprinting to the end zone. The player is greeted by a chorus of kudos and applause. Catch after catch, No. 86 jumps, stretches his arms and ultimately blows by the Blue Devils defensive scout team.

“I have never coached anyone like him.” coach Justin Grubbs said.

Grubbs is talking about his starting wide receiver, punter and defensive back, Kris Silbaugh. Oh, and he was born without a left hand.

Silbaugh broke his northwestern Pennsylvania high school’s receiving yards record this season, surpassing 915 yards for the year in a game versus nearby rival Saegertown.

“You just need extra focus.” Silbaugh said. “You watch the ball closely all the way in.”

During the day before homecoming, Silbaugh snagged the ball repeatedly on the practice field, absorbing the its impact with just

five fingers. Every catch the high school senior makes is a circus catch.

The success is even more unlikely for a kid who’s faced adversity on and off the field. Silbuagh was placed in foster care when he was 18 months old; he was adopted a short time later.

“I don’t know who my birth parents are.” Silbaugh said. “Maybe one day they can see that I’ve done something, that I’ve had success.”

He’s thriving in a situation that would break many kids. Silbaugh’s current legal guardians, Frank and Mary Tipping, took him in when he was having issues with his adopted family.

“Very quickly you forget that he doesn’t have a hand.” Mary Tipping said. “He never asks for help.”

He’s also become a favourite son of Cambridge Springs, a former resort town about 25 miles south of Lake Erie. Posters of the receiver mark storefronts and lighting posts. He’s the reigning homecoming king and on the honour roll.

While he hopes to meet his birthparents one day, he’s found a family in football.

“I feel I belong out there just as much as anyone else,” Silbaugh said.

NEW YORK — With LeBron James spending so much energy shutting Carmelo Anthony down in the second half, it was good to have Mo Williams with him to finish the game offensively.

James scored 31 points, Williams made a tiebreaking jumper with 41 seconds left and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New York Knicks 90-84 on Friday night for their eighth straight victory.

Cleveland remained unbeaten since dropping its opener at Chicago and matched its best start through nine games at 8-1, largely with a defensive effort that limited the Knicks to 12 points in the final 12 minutes.

“Certain games are going to predict itself and you’ve got to be able to defend at a high level on the defensive end and then make timely shots, and we did that,” James said.

Williams scored Cleveland’s final six points and finished with 20. The veteran might be on the bench in situations like Friday once Kyrie Irving is healthy, but for now the Cavs are glad they had him on the floor.

“I just went with the flow of the game and let it dictate what I had to do,” Williams said.

Anthony scored 26 for the Knicks, but 22 came in the first half and his only field goal in the second half was a follow dunk as James kept his friend in check when it mattered.

Arron Afflalo had 14 points for the Knicks, who didn’t have enough guys who could make a play when Anthony could no longer do it for them.

“They have a lot of guys who understand how to just play one possession at a time. We’re still learning,” Knicks coach Derek Fisher.

Just as in their first meeting this season, when the Cavaliers rallied for a 96-86 victory in Cleveland on

Nov. 4, the Knicks built an early lead that the Cavs chipped away at. The Cavs couldn’t pull away this time, but made enough plays at the finish and held Anthony to 1-for-9 shooting in the second half.

“Some games you’ve got to win without your fastball, and this was one of those games and a big part of that was what we did on the defen-

sive end,” Cavs coach David Blatt said.

James scored six straight to give Cleveland an 84-82 lead, but Afflalo quickly tied it on a turnaround jumper with 59 seconds left. Williams then nailed a jumper, and after Afflalo missed on the other end, Williams finished it off with four free throws.

McDowell has lead at OHL Classic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Graeme McDowell, determined to get his game turned around, saw more results Friday when he ran off seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch Friday for an 8-under 63 and a one-shot lead in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

McDowell relied on his strengths — hitting fairways and making putts — to close out the back nine with three straight birdies. After a bogey on No. 1, he bounced back with four straight birdies to take the lead in the morning at El Camaleon

Golf Club. No one caught him in the afternoon.

Derek Fathauer made four birdies over his last seven holes for a 66 to get within one shot of McDowell.

PGA Tour rookie Harold Varner III birdied four of his last five holes for a 62 to join Si Woo Kim (64) two shots behind.

McDowell was at 12-under 130.

“The two biggest keys to the year have been the driver and putter, the two things that haven’t been performing this season and probably are my strengths,” McDowell said. “I drove the ball much.”

CURTIS CRABTREE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — The last time Seattle played the Arizona Cardinals, the Seahawks set a franchise record with 596 yards of total offence in a 35-6 victory last December.

Patrick Lewis was the starting centre that day for Seattle and will once again get the nod for Sunday night’s game against the NFC West-leading Cardinals.

“He’s healthy and ready to go and we wanted to continue with that and see how he plays with the guys,” head coach Pete Carroll said.

While Drew Nowak earned the starting job out of training camp,

Seattle’s struggles along the offensive line have forced them to re-evaluate the situation. Lewis started in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, but suffered knee and ankle injuries in the game and the starting job reverted back to Nowak for the two games heading into the bye.

Now Lewis is getting the job back against Arizona.

“We made the move and put Patrick in there and then he got hurt.

We don’t take jobs around here because of injury so it’s still his ball and he’ll have the opportunity to go prove that on Sunday,” offensive line coach Tom Cable said.

Lewis started both matchups

against Arizona last season and is familiar with their defensive scheme.

While the Cardinals sacked quarterback Russell Wilson seven times in the first meeting in Seattle, the offence exploded in the Week 16 rematch. Lewis’ experience against the Cardinals should help steady the line this week.

“They blitz a lot of people, bring a lot of people, do a lot of stuff that can confuse you so, as a unit, we have to be together. We all have to communicate,” Lewis said. “Together we can get it done. We can take care of all the stuff they do defensively.”

The offensive line has been a focal point of criticism most of the season.

Canada beats Honduras 1-0 in World Cup qualifying JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cyle Larin scored in the 38th minute Friday as Canada beat Honduras 1-0 to open the penultimate round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 World Cup with a much-needed victory.

The goal was the fourth of the 20-year-old strikerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international career in just his seventh start, but also one he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about until it crossed the line.

Larin fed winger David (Junior) Hoilett down the left on a counter attack before galloping into the Honduran penalty area.

Hoilett, who only recently committed to play for Canada, delivered a stinging cross that missed Larin but found Will Johnson.

The midfielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downward header at the far post struck Larin in the back as he fell to the turf and dribbled in past goalkeeper Noel Valladares to send the crowd of 20,108 at

B.C. Place Stadium into a frenzy.

Friday marked the first full international appearance for Hoilett, who could have chosen to play for Jamaica or England, but finally selected the country of his birth after delaying his decision for a couple of years.

Larin, meanwhile, is coming off rookie of the year honours in Major League Soccer and a record-breaking 17-goal campaign.

Canada, ranked 102nd in the world,

almost doubled its lead in the 63rd minute when Johnson hammered a free kick from 35 yards out that Valladares just got a touch on before it struck the post and stayed out.

Honduras, No. 95 overall, had a free kick of its own from a dangerous position in the 67th, but Mario Martinezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort struck the Canadian wall.

Martinez had another shot from distance in the 76th, but Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan did enough

to push it over the crossbar.

Borjan then spilled another Martinez shot from well out six minutes later before having to scramble to gather up the rebound, but Canada would hold the fort from there to claim all three valuable points.

The game marked the first meeting between the teams since the Canadians travelled to Honduras in October 2012 needing only a draw to make the final round of qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil.

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can’t seem to get into anything that doesn’t involve some fun. Your inclination to party can no longer be suppressed. Wherever you are, you will enjoy an excursion that is a little different. Be a pioneer and bring friends along to join in.

Tonight: Take a stand, if need be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with others directly. Understand what is going on with a loved one.

Encourage this person to let down his or her hair and join you. You can’t help but have a good time with this individual. Friends will knock on your door and want to join you, too. Tonight: Try a new spot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Friends will seek you out for feedback.

You’ll move right in and offer solutions. Don’t have expectations — just enjoy where everyone is coming from. Your ability to make friends emerges. Others become very comfortable around you.

Tonight: Time with a special person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel as if you have a lot to do.

However, your self-discipline could float right out the window if you decide to kick back. Make the most of the moment, as you’ll run into like-minded individuals. Don’t fight the inevitable. Tonight: Reach out to someone at a distance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could have a sense of direction that surprises you as well as others. Be aware of how much is going on around you, and encourage others

SUDOKU

to let their hair down. A sense of inspiration comes from a friend who cares a lot about you. Tonight: You could go till the wee hours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension remains high, but you’ll find the perfect outlet. Enjoying those around you seems to eliminate present stress. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself involved in a group discussion about what is ailing each person. Tonight: Tease a loved one, and help him or her relax.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep talks flowing. You might not know which way to go, but don’t feel as though you must make a decision right now. Just hang out in your present position. Your ability to let go will kick in, especially after swapping some jokes. Tonight: Move the action to your place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel uptight about your budget. Suddenly, you could realize that you are in a special place where you don’t have to worry about these matters. Choose to enjoy those around you. Later in the day, communication will flourish. Tonight: Hang out at home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll delight in the moment.

Though you don’t often let go and party these days, today will be different. Somehow, a serious demeanor just isn’t there. Others might be delighted by what they see. The old you has returned for a little while. Tonight: Make it your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a lot going on behind the scenes. You might not want to

share with everyone how naughty you can be. By evening, your smile will give others an indication as to why you were not available.

Let their imaginations run wild.

Tonight: You are the center of attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friends seem to surround you and encourage the loss of self-discipline. You were already in party mode when you saw everyone else kicking back. Acknowledge and embrace this wild side of your personality. Be more spontaneous!

Tonight: Not to be found.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) All eyes turn to you, as others are looking for suggestions and ideas for what they should do. Once they run into you or speak to you, there will be no more questions. You know when to let your hair down and have a good time. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14) This year you often stumble into fun scenarios that you don’t want say “no” to. Most likely, you will join right in. You know when enough is enough, and you will step back at the appropriate times. You might get uptight about your spending, but you could have difficulty reining it in. If you are single, meeting people is a snap. Choosing the right person is another issue. If you are attached, the two of you love to have a good time. The problem is that you tend to get caught up in frivolous spending. Be careful! CAPRICORN can be too serious at times.

Ask friend why he says has to say nasty things Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My husband and I were close friends with another couple for 35 years. We took trips with them, attended their parties and invited them to all of our special occasions.

About five years ago, the husband left the wife for another woman. He then retired and moved to a town 30 miles away. We still see him on rare occasions. When we do, he makes a point of saying something snarky and belittling to us. He might make fun of what my husband is wearing, criticize our new car or bring up a disagreement he had with me on a trip 17 years ago.

We never know how to convey that his comments are hurtful and offensive. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle his behavior?

— A Longtime Friend Dear Longtime: This friend must feel guilty about his past behaviour because he sounds defensive to us.

He may think you are sitting in judgment and believes it makes his behavior more acceptable if he can drag you down to his level.

The next time he belittles you, simply ask him politely, “Why do you need to say nasty things to us?” This will alert him that he’s not pulling anything over on you and it will also be a reminder to him for next time. He may have an explanation, but more likely, he will claim you misunderstood him. A polite inquiry will either force him to recognize that his comments are inappropriate and he will stop, or he will avoid you.

Sounds like a win-win to us.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter

from “Marie,” who asked where to find assisted living and nursing home facilities for out-of-state relatives.

Your suggestion of medicare.gov was good. As a hospice nurse, let me give you more options.

1. The local county Office on Aging is set up to assist in these circumstances. They will send out a caseworker to assess the need and help find the best facility for the elderly person within their means. If there is any danger of neglect -- self or otherwise -- this agency is able to call in Adult Protective Services, which can expedite placement, if necessary.

2. Most hospice organizations do not charge for an evaluation of their services. Hospice is not just for those in the immediate dying phase of life.

By alleviating symptoms and promoting comfort soon after a determination of a life-limiting illness, a person usually lives a longer and fuller life in the time he or she has left. Hospices have social workers on staff to help with living arrangements,

and thus can be a source of help for someone like “Marie.”

The best way to avoid this situation is for ALL of us to complete an advance directive and a living will, and make arrangements for the time when we may be unable to care for ourselves, including filing the legal paperwork. Thank you.

— RN in Carlisle, Pennsylvania Dear Carlisle: Thank you. Readers should also look into a health care power of attorney so they are assured that their medical care will be handled by a trusted family member or friend.

Man punches actress from ‘NCIS’ in L.A. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — NCIS actress Pauley Perrette says she felt “alone, terrified and trapped” when a man attacked her and threatened to kill her as she walked in front of her Hollywood home.

The actress tweeted that she thought she was going to die during the 5 p.m. Thursday attack. Perrette, 46, says the man grabbed her, punched her repeatedly in the nose and forehead and graphically told her how he was going to kill her.

Within an hour of the attack, police arrested a man a few blocks away.

David Merck was booked for investigation of aggravated battery. Bail was set at $100,000.

Perrette plays forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on the popular television drama.

Fulla, Irene Family is deeply saddened to share news that on Saturday, October 10th, 2015 our dear Mum, Noni and Grand Noni passed away suddenly and peacefully at the age of 88. Mum was predeceased by her father (Ted), her mother (Elfreda) and her dearest husband, Joseph.

She is survived by her son, Ken (Elaine), her daughter Karen(Ed) Beams, grandchildren Rick (Heather) Fulla, Krystal (Wes) Cathcart and Lee Fulla; as well as her precious great grandchildren, Calvin & Cameron Fulla and Kennedy & Alessia Cathcart. Mum also leaves her brother Erling (Eva) Johnson, her sister Ivy Stubbs and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family in Sweden. She will be missed as well by a wealth of dear and special friends who provided years of wonderful memories and much comfort to Mum these last few years. Special thanks to Jim, Heddy, Clare, Roma and Viola; we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank you enough.

Mum was incredibly kind, caring and loving, but also had amazing strength as life was not always easy. Her faith in God was unwavering and was her lifeline. She also appreciated the support of family and special friends in getting through those tough patches. Mum loved gardening and was especially proud of her beautiful dahlias. She also excelled at sewing, knitting, crocheting and made a fabulous strawberry pie. Mum could not have been prouder of her children and grandchildren, and her great grandchildren brought her a world of joy.

Special thank you to Dr. Margot Walker, Dr. Nuamah, Nanaimo Home Support and staff of NRGH Floors 1 & 5, as well as Dr. Wallis and all the incredible staff at Malaspina Gardens, who provided such loving and compassionate care to Mum these past 3 months.

A

series of attacks targeting young concert-goers, soccer fans and Parisians enjoying a Friday night out at popular nightspots killed at least 120 people in the deadliest violence to strike France since the Second World War. President Francois Hollande condemned it as terrorism and pledged that France would stand firm against its foes.

The worst carnage was at a concert hall hosting an American rock band, where scores of people were held hostage and attackers ended the standoff by detonating explosive belts. Police who stormed the building, killing at least three attackers, encountered a bloody scene of horror inside.

Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said as many as five attackers were killed, though it was not clear how many there were altogether and how many, if any, were still at large.

Authorities said the death toll could exceed 120 for at least six sites, including the national stadium and a tight circle of popular nightspots.

Hollande declared a state of emergency and announced that he was closing the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders. Metro lines shut down and streets emptied on the mild fall evening as fear spread through the city, still aching from the horrors of the Charlie Hebdo attack just 10 months ago.

The attack unfolded with two suicide bombings and an explosion outside the national stadium during a soccer match between the French and German national teams. Within minutes, said Paris police chief Michel Cadot, another group of attackers sprayed cafes outside the concert hall with machine-gunfire, then stormed inside and opened fire on the panicked audience. As police closed in, they detonated explosive belts, killing themselves.

H

ollande, who had to be evacuated from the stadium when the bombs went off outside, later vowed that the nation would stand firm and united: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A determined France, a united France, a France that joins together and a France that will not allow itself to be staggered even if today, there is infinite emotion faced with this disaster, this tragedy, which is an abomination, because it is barbarism.â&#x20AC;?

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, although jihadists on Twitter immediately praised them and criticized Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military operations against Islamic State extremists.

In addition to the deaths at the concert hall, dozens were killed in an attack on a restaurant in the 10th arrondissement and several other establishments crowded on a Friday night, police said. Authorities said at least three people died when the bombs went off outside the soccer stadium.

authorized to be publicly named in the quickly moving investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a terrible ordeal that again assails us,â&#x20AC;? Hollande said in a nationally televised address. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know where it comes from, who these criminals are, who these terrorists are.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. President Barack Obama, speaking to reporters in Washington, decried an â&#x20AC;&#x153;attack on all humanity,â&#x20AC;? calling the Paris violence an â&#x20AC;&#x153;outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civiliansâ&#x20AC;? and vowing to do whatever it takes to help bring the perpetrators to justice.

Two explosions were heard outside the Stade de France stadium north of Paris during a France-Germany exhibition soccer game. A police union official, Gregory Goupil of the Alliance Police Nationale, whose region includes the area of the stadium, said there were two suicide attacks and a bombing that killed at least three people near two entrances and a McDonalds.

T

he blasts penetrated the sounds of cheering fans, according to an Associated Press reporter in the stadium. Sirens were immediately heard, and a helicopter was circling overhead.

France has heightened security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and potential terrorist attacks.

Hollande cancelled a planned trip to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s G-20 summit in Turkey, which was to focus in large part on growing fears of terrorism carried out

by Islamic extremists.

Emilio Macchio, from Ravenna, Italy, was at Le Carillon restaurant, one of the restaurants targeted, having a beer on the sidewalk, when the shooting started. He said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any gunmen or victims, but hid behind a corner, then ran away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounded like fireworks,â&#x20AC;? he said.

France has been on edge since January, when Islamic extremists attacked the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which had run cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and a kosher grocery.

Twenty people died, including the three attackers.

The Charlie Hebdo attackers claimed links to extremists in Yemen, while the kosher market attacker claimed ties to the Islamic State group.

This time, they targeted young people enjoying a rock concert and city residents enjoying a Friday night out.

One of the targeted restaurants, Le Carillon, is in the same general neighbourhood as the Charlie Hebdo offices, as is the Bataclan, among the bestknown venues in eastern Paris, near the trendy Oberkampf area known for a vibrant nightlife. The California-based band Eagles of Death Metal was scheduled to play there Friday night.

Among the first physicians to respond to the wounded Friday was Patrick Pelloux, an emergency room doctor and former Charlie Hebdo writer who was among the first to enter the offices Jan. 7 to find his friends and colleagues dead.

Though it was unclear who was responsible for Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violence, the Islamic State is â&#x20AC;&#x153;clearly the name at the top of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Michael Jenkins, a terrorism expert and senior adviser to the president of the Washington-based RAND Corporation.

Jenkins said the tactic used â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiple attackers in co-ordinated attacks at multiple locationsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; echoed recommendations published in the extremist groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online magazine, Dabbiq, over the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big question on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind is, were these attackers, if they turn out to be connected to one of the groups in Syria, were they homegrown terrorists or were they returning fighters from having servedâ&#x20AC;? with the Islamic State group, Jenkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will be a huge question.â&#x20AC;?

‘ANGEL TIME’

Model Gigi Hadid walks the runway during the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York. [AP PHOTO]

Victoria’s Secret still creates buzz S THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ome lit up, others were pretty — and patriotic — in pink and still more burst forth like fireworks.

Yes, Tuesday was Victoria’s Secret sexpot angel time, though the masses will have to wait until on Dec. 8 to watch the 20th annual lingerie extravaganza on CBS. This was just the taping, including musical performances by The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding and Selena Gomez, after Rihanna abruptly cancelled.

Veteran VS walkers like Lily Aldridge and Alessandra Ambrosio were joined by newbie angels, including Martha Hunt and Elsa Hosk. Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid were among the non-winged supermodels new to the glitzy show that generates weeks of advance buzz and will be seen in 192 countries by more than 500 million people, according to company officials.

In all, 47 models blew air kisses, flirted on stage with the camera and flipped their varied wings around as they strutted on the runway in 75 looks at a Manhattan armoury. But

“I’ve watched the show my entire life and this has been a dream.”

Gigi Hadid, model

first, there was hair and makeup to be done and a “pink carpet” of celebrity guests to be walked. Questlove and Nick Cannon were on hand, along with a dapper member of the Mets, Matt Harvey, in a black Versace suit.

Caitlyn Jenner was among those who attended the runway show to cheer on daughter Kendall.

Hadid said backstage that she has big respect for the veteran angels and hopes to earn her own wings one day. Brand new angel Rachel Hilbert, from Rochester, New York, was in the Pink USA squad on the runway, and was also in awe of the longtime ladies, including Brazilian beauty Adriana Lima, seated just inches away on a comfy white couch in rollers backstage.

“Uh, yeah, Adriana Lima. She’s

sitting right there,” Hilbert smiled as all wore pink-and-white striped robes, curlers in their hair, while manicures, pedicures, spray tanning and makeup commenced. “She’s such a sweetheart. Her advice was just breathe and just take it in.”

So how were the nerves for the newcomers?

“Actually, surprisingly, not bad,” Hadid said before the show. “I was really nervous in rehearsal.”

She shared the stage later with Gomez and Goulding.

“I love both of them,” said Hadid, who fell to the floor and gasped in a video of her audition, when she was told she was picked.

As for her famous curves, she prepared with the help of boxing and ballet.

“A lot of sweating and then just focusing on smaller parts because when everything’s in high-def you have to not forget about the little things,” Hadid said. “I’ve watched the show my entire life and this has been such a dream.”

The show featured sections of ’60s boho angels flashing piece signs in teeny bras and panties, swinging

fringe and showing off wings made of sculptured paper, leather and feathers, including Jenner. Her gal pal Hadid was among a group of exotic butterflies with wings and outfits sparkling with crystals. The patriotic pink group included an American-flagged theme outfit and wings.

This year’s iteration of the annual Fantasy Bra was fashioned in bursts of fireworks, the theme for one of the liveliest sections of the show.

The demi-bra and matching belt are worth $2 million and were worn by Aldridge. They were created by the jewelry company Mouawad in 18-karat gold and encrusted with 6,500 diamonds, blue topaz, yellow sapphires and other precious stones.

Hunt was the last firework, closing the show in another centre piece, courtesy of Swarovski, one of the evening’s sponsors. It was a corset sparkling with 90,000 gold, red, green and blue crystals. The look, along with her light-up wings, included 20,000 crystals and 1,200 battery-powered LED lights. The battery pack she lugged weighed in at 19 pounds.

“I did practice . . . with a trainer.

I wore a weighted vest and walked back and forth in high heels,” she said.

Hunt’s last meal before hitting the makeup chair was eggs. She promised her first after the show would be: “Pizza. ... Pizza is one of my favourite foods. Pizza and pasta.”

Gomez, a buddy of previous Victoria’s Secret show performers like Taylor Swift, along with some of the walkers, performed on the splashy stage with her dancers as models walked, as did The Weeknd and Goulding.

“I don’t know if I could be an angel, I’m not gonna lie,” Gomez joked. “I look at how hard they work. I like fried food too much. I don’t know if I could give that up.”

Lima, marking her 16th year as an angel, said her nerves leading up to each show never really go away.

“It’s a little bit tough after so many years because the girls are so beautiful and I have to keep up with them,” laughed the 34-year-old mother of two.

“I work out as much as I can, and you know, I feel great . . . I feel wonderful in my skin.”

BOOK EXCERPT

Remembering growing up Nisga’a Respected elder and co-founder of the Nisga’a nation remembers his formative years in residential school TERRACE STANDARD

Like many aboriginal children of his generation, Joe Gosnell, the Nisga’a leader who steered the Nisga’a Nation toward its 2000 land claims treaty with the federal and provincial governments, was sent to a residential school.

Thanks to the federal government’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the residential school system has been exposed as a deliberate attempt to obliterate indigenous cultures by breaking the connection between aboriginal children and their heritage.

But Gosnell recalls another far more nuanced story of his years at St. Michael’s Residential School in Alert Bay, as described in this excerpt from the book Spirit Dance at Meziadin by Alex Rose.

A

s a boy, Gosnell played in the long grass along the Nass River’s banks and he and his friends paddled the river’s complicated tides and whirling currents.

In those days, long before the road was built from Terrace, the river was the highway to the Nisga’a villages, serving both as an obstacle to posterity and a geographical line of defence against further incursions by white settler society.

When he was seven years old, the government intervened in Joseph’s life in dramatic fashion: the local Indian Agent decreed that all Nisga’a children were to be sent away to a church-run residential school.

In 1943, Gosnell was one of 15 Nisga’a children lined up to board a steamship idling at the wharf at Inverness Cannery near present day Prince Rupert. His mother stood by weeping.

“As I stood on the dock with my brother Ben, my mother kept saying to us in Nisga’a — we didn’t know any English then — ‘You are going away to learn, to learn and to be educated.’”

After a two-day sea voyage, with stops at Klemtu and River’s Inlet to pick up more aboriginal children, the ship arrived at St. Michael’s Residential School (Anglican), a foreboding structure in Alert Bay on Cormorant Island north of Campbell River.

For the next six years, Gosnell survived a harsh discipline. Although he neither experienced, nor heard, of the sexual abuse and physical brutality that has since been exposed in many other residential schools, his experience wasn’t easy.

“That was a rough life. The discipline was extremely hard. Oh, well do I know the taste of soap,” Gosnell says, recalling the Anglican brothers washing his mouth out with soap for speaking Nisga’a.

“Every night you could hear children crying in the dormitories.”

Forbidden to speak their own language, the Nisga’a children whispered secretly to each other in Nisga’a. But over time English become the common language.

Like many aboriginal people of his generation, Gosnell recalls always being hungry.

“We never had enough to eat and we had to eat the food that was placed before us, whether we liked it or not.”

Despite the suppression of his language and culture, always running through his dreams in the pris-

“We didn’t even know we were Indians then. We watched so many cowboy and Indian movies and we always rooted for the guys with the tengallon hats.”

Joe Gosnell, Nisga’a leader

on-like building so far from home was the great, dark Nass River, from which his people draw their very identity — the first schools of oolichan in spring and the silver flash of the first coho salmon as they enter the river.

“I’ve been to the headwaters of the Nass,” he will say today. “At Lake Meziadin the water is so clear you can see 400 feet down into the lake.”

Though vivid, the memories of his homeland were not enough to sustain him against a government determined to “enlighten” him in European ways. On his return from residential school — his Grade 5 certificate in his back pocket — Gosnell returned to his village without a history. He had to be de-programmed, working hard to re-learn the Nisga’a language and re-discovering who he was.

Today, the 65-year-old Gosnell doesn’t blame his parents for sending him away.

“Like all Nisga’a parents they faced incredible psychological intimidation to conform. They were ordered by the Indian Agent to send us away, part of the assimilation policy.

On the contrary, I thank them for what they did for me, instilled in me the importance of the culture that we maintain today. My mother always said, ‘Don’t ever forget our language.’”

Over the years, Gosnell has been able to reflect on the impact of the residential schools, an impact still felt throughout Nisga’a communities today. He has never once considered a lawsuit against the church or the federal government.

“I wouldn’t want to put my children through the same thing — never in a thousand years. When I first arrived at St. Michael’s, I didn’t know a word of English, not even a yes or a no. When I came out of there after six years, I had almost forgotten my own language. We were little kids; we didn’t even know we were Indians then. We watched so many cowboy

and Indian movies and we always rooted for the guys with the ten-gallon hats.

“It explains to some extent the dysfunctional nature of some of our people. When you are taken away from your parents at a young stage, removed from a closely knit family and placed in a completely alien atmosphere, you lose an important sense of parental guidance. I see that happening today and it is like a sickness passed from one generation to the next. Very few people recognize that. It explains the depression you see in the faces of the people, the alcoholism, and now the drugs.”

Gosnell doesn’t hold a grudge against a schooling system that

wrenched him from his family because it became one of the defining moments of his life. He did, after all, learn to read and write the English language and counted among his classmates a generation of men who would one day become leaders in the struggle for aboriginal rights.

The friendships he forged then against a common enemy would translate into political support.

“Whenever the tribal groups from across the province meet, I greet my friends from those days,” Gosnell says. “It taught me discipline. It put backbone in my spine. I walked away from that and I knew I could stand up to anything.”

He also met his wife Adele there

— she had arrived from the Nass on a later steamship — watching her across the strictly segregated playground.

In May, 1999 both returned to visit St. Michael’s for a reunion to mark its construction 100 years ago.

Vancouver-based media relations specialist Alex Rose worked closely with the Nisga’a in explaining the controversial 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement to the public.

Also an author, Rose has written five non-fiction books, one of which is Spirit Dance at Meziadin, an insider’s look behind the scenes of the Nisga’a Final Agreement from which the above feature is taken.
