PARIS — Hasna Aitboulahcen lived a secular life, drinking alcohol and rarely visiting a mosque, but police say she died an extremist’s death: blowing herself up by detonating a suicide vest. The 26-year-old daughter of a Moroccan immigrant had been under police surveillance because her name came up in a drug-trafficking case, said a police union official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to talk to media. Aitboulahcen died Wednesday as police closed in on an apartment in suburban Saint-Denis, along with Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the man suspected of orchestrating the Nov. 13 attacks across Paris that killed 129 people. It was not known if she had any role in the attacks. Also unclear is her exact connection to the 28-year-old Abaaoud, the son of a Moroccan-born shopkeeper in Brussels. Three police officials said Aitboulahcen often described herself as his “cousin,” but the term also is used by young French of North African descent to refer to close friends who are no blood relation. Her final moments were marked by a brief, angry exchange with police during the siege. “Where is your boyfriend?” an officer demanded, according to an official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose details of the investigation. She replied: “He’s not my boyfriend!” Then there was an explosion, which police said was the detonation of the bomb in her vest. Parts of her mangled body were blown onto a police car parked outside the apartment where she and nine others, including Abaaoud, engaged in an hours-long standoff. Born in the Paris suburb of Clichy-la-Garenne, Aitboulahcen moved to the eastern French town of Creutzwald with her parents and four siblings when she was 16.

She had a sister and two brothers, Creutzwald Mayor Jean-Luc Wozniak, told The Associated Press. He added that the four siblings spent some time in foster care, and the family moved into an apartment located in a housing project in 2006. Some years later Aitboulahcen left Creutzwald and settled in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, returning occasionally to visit her father, Wozniak said. Her father, who was born in Marrakech, and her older sister moved to Morocco, the mayor added. Two years ago, Aitboulahcen briefly managed a construction company based in the

Paris suburb of Epinay-sur-Seine that went bankrupt less than 10 months later, according to an official registry of company filings. Neighbours and relatives quoted by French media said she drank alcohol and rarely attended a mosque. Because her name came up in a drug-trafficking case, Aitboulahcen was under surveillance, and her movements may have led authorities to the Saint-Denis flat. Authorities had tapped her phone at the time of the raid, according to two police officials, also speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media. They did not say when the wiretap began.

Coalition fears backlash against Muslims ALLISON JONES THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — As more news emerged Thursday of anti-Muslim incidents across the country, a coalition of anti-racism groups called on all Canadians to ensure Syrian refugees heading here soon don’t become scapegoats following the Paris terrorist attacks. The coalition, comprised of groups that include the Canadian Arab Federation and the African-Canadian Legal Clinic, held a news conference at the Ontario legislature to decry what it described as an alarming increase in hate crimes. “We cannot use these new Syrian refugees that we commit to bring here to Canada as a scapegoat for these crimes against other innocent civilians,” said Mohamed Boudje-

nane, the acting president of the Canadian Arab Federation. “These same people we’re bringing into Canada . . . are the main victims of these terrorist groups.” The news conference was held as the Toronto Transit Commission reported that two women wearing hijabs were harassed and assaulted on the subway during the evening rush hour on Wednesday. Two men and a woman made abusive comments, suggested the women were terrorists and pushed one of the women, a TTC spokesman said. An Ottawa radio station also reported Thursday that a Muslim student at Carleton University says she found a racist note in her mailbox saying: “Canada is no place for immigrants or terrorists. Go back home.”

Racist graffiti targeted at Muslim women was found Wednesday in the washroom of a commuter train, said transit agency Metrolinx. In Montreal police arrested a man after a YouTube video showed someone wearing a Joker mask saying one Arab would be murdered in Quebec every week. Those incidents follow an attack on a hijab-wearing Muslim woman in Toronto and a fire at a mosque in Peterborough, Ont., that is being investigated as a hate crime. The refugees coming to Canada are not people just showing up at the border, as asylum-seekers often do, said Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins — they have mostly been “languishing in refugee camps for upwards of four years” where they may not have had good access to clean water, adequate food and education.

Deadline comes and goes, pot shops still operating AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS

It was business as usual for most Nanaimo medical marijuana dispensaries yesterday, despite a letter from the RCMP threatening to ‘arrest all employees and patrons on site,’ if the establishments continued to operate. The cease-and-desist letter was handed to 10 pot dispensary owners and managers on Nov. 12. The letter gave owners seven calendar days to shut down or possibly face criminal charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The threat encouraged owners, managers and supporters to gather for at least two meetings to discuss how to respond. Almost all Nanaimo dispensaries stayed open Thursday. None had been raided by the RCMP by the end of the working day. Brandy Cavanagh, manager of Mid-Island Health and Wellness Association, a medical pot dispensary located on Dufferin Crescent, said her store was flooded with customers Thursday.

“Hopefully we don’t get locked up in the meantime by the guys that aren’t part of the democratic process.” Akil Pessoa, Nanaimo Cannabis Coalition

“It’s chaotic in here, business as usual. The only way we’re going out is in cuffs,” Cavanagh said. Phoenix Pain Management Society managing director, and the voice of the Nanaimo Cannabis Coalition, Akil Pessoa joined coalition member Matthew O’Donnell in a meeting with Mayor Bill McKay Thursday afternoon. Pessoa said they wanted to have an open dialogue provide him with information on what other cities are doing to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries. “Our job is to work with city council, work with the mayor, work with the community and put

something together that works in Nanaimo. Hopefully we don’t get locked up in the meantime by the guys that aren’t part of the democratic process,” Pessoa said. The newly elected Liberal government is in the primitive stages of legalizing marijuana. The coalition, Pessoa says, wants interim municipal guidelines and principles clearly stated while the federal government works on legalization. “We know that the City of Nanaimo has no control or jurisdiction over the RCMP, so we’re looking beyond that with regulation here in the City of Nanaimo and we want to work with the City of Nanaimo to achieve our goal,” O’Donnell said. McKay was in meetings Thursday and did not respond to a request for comment. Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP said the police do not comment on active investigations.

A boil water advisory issued after Tuesday’s powerful storm could be the last one Nanaimo residents have to contend with. Nanaimo is at the final testing stage for its new $72.5-million water treatment plant, which, when fully operational, promises sparkling clean municipal drinking water even after severe winter storms. “It will make all the difference in the world,” said Bill Sims, city of Nanaimo water resources manager. “The irony about this is we’re not many weeks away from filtering our water.” It happens so often it’s almost become routine for Nanaimo citizens: When the first big fall storm hits, the city water system in the South Fork branch of the Nanaimo River becomes overloaded with runoff carrying waterborne contaminants. In the 2000s the city adopted an automated warning system to alert residents to boil their water. In anticipation of contamination overnight Tuesday, warnings went out that day. Just like in past years, turbidity, or cloudiness was the reason a boil advisory was issued. Turbidity interferes with chlorine’s ability to destroy harmful bacteria, making water unsafe for youngsters, seniors and people with compromised immune systems.

Water treatment is now a requirement by the B.C. Ministry of Health requirements for all municipal water systems that draw water from surface sources. The South Forks Water Treatment plant is now operational but still needs final Ministry of Health approval before it can go online. “We’re putting the plant through its final paces now,” Sims said. “As far as a finished product, the filtered water is spectacular. It’s so clear it’s not funny.” Sims said the new system will keep municipal water quality in the order of two decimal points below allowable turbidity levels. That will make home water filtration unnecessary, but Sims can’t say exactly when Nanaimo customers will see that happen. “If I’m really optimistic, early to mid-December, or early in the new year,” Sims said of the filtration plant being fully operational. The boil advisory is expected to be lifted today. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235 » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to yourletters@nanaimodailynews.com.

MALAHAT

Call for divided highway echoes after fatality SARAH SIMPSON COWICHAN VALLEY CITIZEN

A fatal crash on the Malahat Wednesday morning has again prompted calls for increased safety on the highway that links Victoria to the rest of Vancouver Island. Malahat Fire Chief Rob Patterson said his crews were called out at 6:48 a.m. Patterson said it’s his belief a northbound red Toyota Tacoma pickup truck crossed the centre line in the early morning hours, striking a black Mazda. The driver of the Mazda, a 33-year-

old Saanich man, died at the scene as a result of the collision. A blue Hyundai hatchback was also unable to escape the crash. Three people were transported to hospital with varying injuries. “From what the police are releasing so far, it seems like speed and road conditions are both major contributing factors to the crash,” Patterson said. The fire chief said “there’s not a question in my mind that it [a median barrier] would have 100 per cent prevented the fatality. It would not have stopped the accident. But

it’s going to keep that truck from crossing over and that gentleman would have been going to work again today.” The province has thus far spent $33 million since 2001 on median barriers, covering about 50 per cent of the 18-kilometre highway. Patterson said it’s not enough. “There’s tons of work left to do. They haven’t finished what they’ve already said they’ve completed,” Patterson said. “I’ve asked for emergency crossover spots for my trucks to be able to cross over to the other side of the highway so if we need to

move traffic away and around we’re not blocking the highway.” He said there’s always plans in place for improvements. “Every time there’s a major event, somebody’s always touting some plans ‘yes we’ve got something in place’. “But it took eight more bodies and five years to get phase one and phase two done.” What irks him is the lack of consultation with first responders. “I’m the guy who’s got to scrape the bodies off the road, pry the cars apart and look at people dying,” he

said. “We should have a bit of a say in some of the stuff anyway.” Angry that this latest fatality had to happen, as he was hoping to finish off the year without a major incident, Patterson said unfortunately it will happen again. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said more barriers are on the way. The highway was closed until just after noon Wednesday. The closure effectively cut ties with Victoria for up-Island residents as the Mill Bay-Brentwood Bay ferry was out of service for the morning due to mechanical issues.

Body of missing Aussie whale-watcher found TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS

The body of an Australian man has been found off Vancouver Island’s West Coast, bringing to six the number of people who are confirmed dead after a whale-watching boat flipped on Oct. 25. The BC Coroners Service said Thursday the body of 27-year-old Raveshan Morgan Pillay was recovered on the shore of Vargas Island, not far from Tofino. Twenty-seven tourists and crew were tossed into the water, about 15 kilometres northwest of the tourist town, when a wave broadsided the Leviathan II, a 20-metre whale-watching boat. The five people who were confirmed dead on the night of incident were all from the United Kingdom and ranged in age from 18 to 76. An extensive search for Pillay turned up nothing until surfers reported finding a body Wednesday night on a beach on Vargas Island, close to where the vessel flipped over. Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne said Pillay’s family travelled from Sydney to Tofino after the accident, but returned back to Australia last week. “(We’re) just thinking a lot about his family and friends and the whole incident, and also mindful about all the people who were involved in the search for him,” said Osborne. “And also the sense of anxiety that they might be feeling too about just confirming.”

The Coroners Service, Transportation Safety Board and RCMP were continuing to investigate the cause of the incident. Pillay’s family told the community that had they experienced “kindness after kindness” in a thank you letter published in the local newspaper after their departure. “Every shop we walked into was welcoming, every person we spoke with so kind,” said the letter addressed to the communities of Tofino, Ahousaht and Tla-o-qui-aht. “Nobody is to blame. We lost our son, but we only lost his physical body. His spirit is here. And we gained a family, friends, a community. We will be back.” The letter, signed by the “Pillay/Hooker Family,” included a long list of thank yous and was printed on Nov. 11 in the Westerly News. Pillay’s girlfriend and her family were also on board the vessel when it capsized and his girlfriend’s father was among the five people confirmed dead. The mayor said she would look to the family’s direction regarding holding any kind of memorial. The Transportation Safety Board has said that many of the passengers were sightseeing on one side of the upper deck when a wave hit from the opposite side, overturning the boat. Life-jackets were not required on the vessel and it appeared the tourists were not wearing them at the time, an initial coroner’s investigation found.

Dangerous intersections Nanaimo features six of top 10 worst spots north of the Malahat

t should come as no surprise the most dangerous intersections on northern Vancouver Island are where the traffic is. Nanaimo leads the list of the worst crash sites north of the Malahat, with six of the top 10 spots. Two Nanaimo locations share the title for highest numbers of crashes: Highway 19A at Mostar and Rutherford roads; and Bowen Road and Highway 19A. Each location had a total of 310 crashDarrell es between 2009 and Bellaart 2013, according to a Reporting report compiled by ICBC for the Daily News, looking at the mid-Island region (from Mill Bay to Campbell River). The data is revealing, but the number of crashes alone does not give the final word on safety. It comes as no surprise the greatest number of crashes were counted in those cities that have the highest populations. “If you look at that list and think about it, those really are the busiest intersections in the city,” said Gordon Foy, city of Nanaimo traffic and transportation planning engineer. Duncan locations ranked fourth and fifth on the list, with 240 crashes counted in that period at Trans-Canada Highway and Trunk Road, and 230 crashes at Beverly Street and Trans-Canada Highway. Courtenay was home to the seventhand tenth-most dangerous intersections: 17th Street and Cliffe Avenue had 190 crashes, while the Island Highway and Ryan Road had 150 incidents. Other top-10 crash sites in Nanaimo are: the Island Highway North/Northfield Road turning lane, with 280; the Aulds Road/Hammond Bay Road Island Highway North turning lane, with 270; Bowen and Northfield Road, with 160 incidents; and Turner Road and Highway 19A, with 150 crashes. In descending order, 11 through 20 are: • Lerwick Road and Ryan Road, in Courtenay (150),

“If you look at that list and think about it, those really are the busiest intersections in the city.” Gordon Foy, planning engineer

• Enterprise Street and Highway 19A, Nanaimo (150), • Jingle Pot Road, Highway 19A and Norwell Drive, in Nanaimo (140) • Tenth Street and Maki Road at Highway 19A, in Nanaimo (130) • Deloume Road and Trans-Canada Highway, in Mill Bay (110) • Aulds Road and Aulds Road off-ramp and Nanaimo Parkway and Mall Access, Lantzville/Nanaimo (110) • 17th Street Bridge and Comox Road, Courtenay (100), • Cedar Road, Highway 19A and Nanaimo Parkway, Nanaimo (100)

• Old Island Highway and Ryan Road, Courtenay (100) • Comox Road and Terminal Ave, Nanaimo (100). According to ICBC, the most common causes of crashes are failing to yield to oncoming traffic, ignoring traffic control devices, following too close, speeding and improper lane changes. Nanaimo’s approach to reduce crashes at high-incident sites is to make improvements on a priority basis. “One of the worst intersections in Nanaimo, at Boundary Avenue, Northfield Road and Highway 19A,

that’s been around for a number of years and we’ve now got the province on board for 50 per cent of the cost,” said Mayor Bill McKay. Work on that project is expected to start over winter. Being a high-traffic area, city engineers have yet to decide whether the project will be done all in one go, or piecemeal. After that the next project will be the “Boxwood Connector,” to ease traffic at Northfield and Bowen, McKay said. The plan is to take Boxwood north toward Rosstown Road then east to Bowen, where a new traffic

light-controlled intersection would be installed at the south entrance to Beban Park. Mid-North Vancouver Island cities included in the study were Mill Bay, Duncan, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum, Courtenay, and Campbell River. The most dangerous intersections in cities that did not crack the top 20 are: • Campbell River: 16th Avenue and Dogwood (49) • Comox: Anderton and E Ryan (39) • Qualicum Beach: Country Club Drive and Island Highway (24) • Parksville: Alberni Highway and Inland Island Highway (47) • Port Alberni: Gertrude and Johnston (63) • Ladysmith: Davis and TCH (51) • Chemainus: Henry and TCH (42) Data include parking lot incidents and incidents involving parked vehicles. Smaller communities with smaller crash rates were excluded from the data, and numbers were rounded to the nearest 10 for the purpose of the report. Rounding has been applied to these data.

OUR VIEW

Safer intersections mostly the result of safer drivers P lease don’t blame design or construction entirely for what are identified as the most dangerous intersections on Vancouver Island. While today’s Daily News cover story identifies the worst intersection locations for crashes from Campbell River to Duncan, this is not a call for the province or municipalities to spend hordes of cash in the effort to make them idiot-proof. North of the Capital Regional District, Nanaimo has six of the 10 highest crash sites, with Highway 19A at Mostar and Rutherford Roads and Bowen Road and Highway 19A topping the list. The issue is, apparently, volume, and anyone who uses

those two intersections knows how busy they get. The greater the amount of traffic, the greater the number of accidents. It’s simple math. No doubt some intersections, such as the Island Highway North/Northfield Road turning lane, need work and that’s been on the boards for some time now. And let’s be candid: Accidents don’t happen, they are caused; and the cause in the vast majority of crashes is the driver — not the intersection, its design or design flaws. While we can never eliminate motor vehicle accidents we can always do more to cut down on their numbers. There are a few simple steps to take before we advocate spending millions

in a needless effort to improve design and construction. Driver education is first and foremost in improving safety at intersections, on highways or anywhere else. Understanding the rules of the road, knowing signs and using common sense will assist in any circumstance — including those intersections that have high crash numbers or the few that may have design problems. Every driver can refresh his or her knowledge of the rules of the road by simply going to the ICBC website and taking their online tests (http://practicetest.icbc.com). Don’t be shocked if you fail — many drivers forget these basics and refreshing that knowledge

may pay off in terms of preventing a crash. Not to be underestimated — this should not be an issue but it remains one — is the elevated risk of driving while impaired. Arriving at a busy intersection while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs carries a strong risk of not ending well. We present these numbers not as a complaint about the state our road but as information for drivers and about the growth of the Island. If you know an intersection is a busy one and has a high crash rate, all the more reason to slow down, drive carefully and not race a yellow light. Also, the population of the Island, while slight in comparison to the

Lower Mainland, continues to grow. As more people settle here, open businesses and invest, they also bring more vehicles. While the province and municipalities have done a good job on keeping up with that growth, crash prevention has more to do with individual drivers than upgraded and costly design changes. By knowing and obeying the rules of the road, drivers can better handle challenging and busy intersections. There are safe roads and there are safe drivers. Together they contribute to reduced crashes. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to yourletters@nanaimodailynews.com.

Canada should regulate pot as it does alcohol Citizens patronize liquor stores for a variety of reasons. Alcohol is a legalized drug, used by responsible adults with education and regulation in place to justify it’s wide promotion. So let’s quit being so puritanical and get over hypocritically condemning marijuana. As a nurse from an RCMP family, I understand how a background in health-care or law enforcement creates conflict about how to responsibly handle this new marijuana frontier. For police, emergency room personnel, doctors and nurses have seen the very worst associated with marijuana. But we still allow responsible adults to engage in these activities, choosing how much they want to overdo or not. We don’t just prohibit people from engaging in these activities because we’re afraid they might overdo it because that would be a “Nanny State.” Responsible adults who have learned to use marijuana, just as those who like liquor or wine, know what they like and what their limits are. Since government doesn’t direct brewmasters, nor liquor distillers, nor wineries how to produce their products, government should not be similarly directing marijuana producers either. Marijuana ought to be marketed not as an alternative to pharmaceuticals, but as just another naturally produced product that people use recreationally and medicinally — like alcohol — not requiring a doctor’s prescription, either. We don’t deny entrepreneurs the freedom to deal in alcohol because some will overdose on it or children may get their hands on it: we educate and regulate it. And like gambling and alcohol, we pay for it’s regulation with applicable taxes levied on it for use by responsible adults. Same should apply to marijuana. Liz Stonard Port Alberni

Nanaimo’s parks, lakes, waterfront are special When Nanaimo city council is thinking of budgets, please remember it is not always the dollars at a business’s cash register that are the most important. They are the things that build a better next generation and the seawall along with all the parks people enjoy every day. We have one of the greatest treasures in the world but it is hidden. The city should be advertising the quality of our parks, our lakes, our seawall, instead of downtown with no parking or residents. Unlike 99 per cent of the cities of the world,

we have lakes that are stocked, fish you can catch and even eat within the city limits. When we look at the Nanaimo seawall we all have different ideas and memories. To me it goes long ago. It was a time when I was a child and my grandmother lived on Vancouver Avenue. My father, a navy veteran of the Second World War, believed that on special occasions like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years that the men should clean up after dinner and do the dishes while the women enjoyed coffee or drinks. Once the clean up was done then the men should take all the children for a walk.

I am now 67 years old and can remember those walks as if it was today as some of the best times in my life.

Duncan resident wants Canadians to declare Nov. 20 Rights of the Child Day

Man dies after highway crash

JENNIFER BLYTH OAK BAY NEWS

For Canada and the world to be truly successful, we must recognize the inherent rights of children to have a say in their lives from a young age, suggests an Island man urging Canadians to declare Nov. 20 Rights of the Child Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graduated steps into democratic self-reliance must begin at birth and not be one giant leap at the age of majority,â&#x20AC;? says John McDonald, a former school teacher and school trustee now living in Duncan. The initiative would recognize the anniversary of the United Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adoption of Declaration of the Rights of the Child and raise awareness of the document, creating potentially far-reaching effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If kids knew what their rights are and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, it would be a better world. They would understand democracy,â&#x20AC;? he said.

McDONALD

The initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots date back to 1924, and the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child, followed by the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the child adopted by the United Nations. Fast-forward to Nov. 20, 1989, and the Declaration of the Rights of the child was adopted by the General

Assembly of the United Nations and ratified in Canada several years later. McDonald broadly categorizes the Rights of the Child under three main headings: â&#x20AC;˘ The Right to Survival through the provision of adequate food, shelter, clean water and primary health care;Â Â â&#x20AC;˘ The Right to Protection from abuse, neglect and exploitation, including the right to special protection in times of war; â&#x20AC;˘ The Right to Develop in a safe environment, through the provision of formal education, constructive play, advanced health care and the opportunity to participate in the social, economic and religious life of their culture,Â free from discrimination. Essential to the initiative is introducing democracy at a young age as a way of raising democratically minded adults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise minors with no say into their lives,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise our kids in an undemocratic household and school system then send them out on their own and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Now you need to live in a democracy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? McDonald said. He suggests that if children are going to learn about democracy, it needs to begin when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young. People, including children, have a strong tendency to do and be what is expected of them, said McDonald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore the greatest danger to our society is the concept that young people are irresponsible, stupid, cannot think and are incapable of building the future that the present adults must live in. Well, you better have faith in our offspring for it is their world that we (adults) will have to live in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adults have not given us much to boast about in human development. Is it time to include children in future planning. Make Nov. 20 the Rights of the Child Day.â&#x20AC;?

COWICHAN VALLEY

Battle continues over Shawnigan Lake water SARAH SIMPSON COWICHAN VALLEY CITIZEN

The message was loud and clear from Island Health: do not use water from the south end of Shawnigan Lake for “residential or commercial use including bathing/personal hygiene, drinking, and food preparation.” The reason? A suspected overflow of water from the South Island Aggregates site — home to a controversial soil dump and treatment site — into the lake. And while the Nov. 13 warning was lifted Tuesday afternoon, after Ministry of Environment laboratory tests confirmed no risk to public health, it was not before area residents delivered a strong “I told you so” to Environment Minister Mary Polak. “While the breach does not appear to have come from the currently active lot, it underscores what the association has been saying all along. The proponents and operators of the site, along with the Ministry of the Environment, have not properly assessed the risks of the operation and have exposed the residents to an

unacceptable danger,” a Shawnigan Ratepayers Association press release states. “It has been foretold all along that heavy rain would endanger the site and the lake. Now in the toxic dump’s first real season, and real test, with

the first ‘normal’ rain event, a breach has occurred to force a drinking water advisory.” Provincial NDP leader John Horgan took the debate to the legislature, where he urged Polak to stop operations at SIA.

“After years of being approached by residents, whether they be elected representative, regular citizens or former Liberal candidates, the response has always been: ‘Do not worry. We’re here to protect you.’ Until it rains,” Horgan said “As you well know, we live in a rainforest. The first rain in the 50-year permit led to a no-use advisory for the people in the region. Can the minister now do the right thing, stop the movement of contaminated soils into the Shawnigan watershed and do it today?” The Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Shawnigan Ratepayers Association are in court challenging SIA’s permit to receive more 100,000 tonnes of contaminated dirt annually over 50 years to a site just above the drinking water supply for 12,000 Shawnigan-area residents. Prior to the order being lifted, Polak said “there is absolutely no evidence of a breach” and if it did occur, it may not even be as bad as people assume. She told Horgan politicians should stay out of the way and let the scientists do their work. “As we get results back, we will

determine whether anything happened at all,” she said. “The members of the staff of the Ministry of Health and the members of the staff of the Ministry of Environment dedicate their entire careers to working to ensure that public health is kept safe, that the environment is kept safe,” she said. “These people have the expertise, but they also feel the heavy obligation to ensure that those careers matter, to make sure that they are doing their part in upholding their obligations for British Columbians across this province. They do that each and every day. They do that independent of political interference. That is the way it should be.” Island Health spokesperson Kellie Hudson confirmed the Ministry of Environment had staff at the site on Saturday to assess compliance and that samples were collected at various locations. For much of the past week, protesters were set up outside the SIA operations. Tensions increased to the point where on Nov. 13, two demonstrators were arrested at the site for allegedly blocking the roadway.

The Strathcona Regional District has pledged financial support to help keep the city’s extreme weather shelter open every night this winter as the number of homeless continues to rise. Paul Mason of Campbell River Family Services, which manages the emergency shelter, said there are about 52 unsheltered people on the streets – an increase from the 37 reported in 2009. The shelter, which this year is located behind Radiant Life Church on Cypress Street, can sleep 16 people in eight rooms. Mason said more can be accommodated if necessary. “We try not to turn anyone away,” said Mason who added that people are coming from beyond Campbell River to use the shelter which provides the homeless with a heated room for the night, as well as a warm breakfast and dinner. “They’re coming from Courtenay, Alert Bay, Port McNeill.

“A survey showed a lot of transient people, as well as people coming from Quadra to use our shelter. “So it’s not just Campbell River people, it encompasses the whole area.” Which was why Mason approached the Strathcona Regional District at its board meeting Thursday afternoon. “Last year you guys were so kind and gave us $15,000 for the operation of the shelter,” Mason said. “I’m here to ask for the same thing, if possible.” Area D Director Brenda Leigh said she regarded the issue as “a bit of an emergency” and didn’t want to wait until budget planning to commit to funding. “For God’s sake, let’s get them some shelter, let’s get them off the streets,” Leigh said. “I don’t think we need to wait for another report.” The rest of the board agreed and voted to contribute $10,000 of its Community Health Network funds, as well as $2,000 from general administration.

Leigh said she would make up the remainder using her grant-in-aid budget for Area D once the funds are available in January. Campbell River has also provided funding for the shelter, $15,000 to install a more efficient heating system and to re-paint the inside and outside of the shelter which Campbell River Family Services recently bought for $1. The shelter is valued at between $90,000 to $100,000. But Mason said they’re still looking for donations to sponsor a room, so that the shelter can remain open every night until March 31. BC Housing does provide some funding to keep the shelter open but only on nights when the temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius or if it’s an especially windy night. Mason said last winter — which was particularly mild — BC Housing only made up 25 to 35 per cent of the shelter’s operating funds, the rest was made up through donations in order to keep the shelter open every night.

VANCOUVER

Fellow writers support suspended novelist LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Canadian literary community is in shock after the University of British Columbia suspended acclaimed author Steven Galloway from his job as chairman of its creative writing program over “serious allegations.” UBC has not revealed the nature of the allegations or number of complainants. Galloway’s publisher and several fellow writers spoke highly of him on Thursday — with one Vancouver novelist calling him “the soul of the local writing community.” Gage Averill, dean at the UBC Faculty of Arts, said that the university

GALLOWAY

was “in discussions” with a well-respected external investigator and he expected to announce details of the probe in the next two days. He said the allegations emerged on

Sunday. He declined to say who the complainants were but said he learned of the accusations from faculty members, not the media. Averill acknowledged that in not disclosing details, UBC was doing a “complicated dance.” “On the one hand, we knew information was out in the (campus) community and there was concern,” he said. “We wanted to make sure that students, faculty and staff understood we were taking measures to open up an investigation and do due diligence. “At the same time, we have Prof. Galloway, against whom no charges or allegations have been proven. No findings have been made

at this moment. We should give him due process.” The university announced Wednesday that the best-selling author of The Confabulist and The Cellist of Sarajevo had been suspended with pay. Averill said it’s not yet clear how long the investigation will take but a number of people have said they want to speak with the investigator. He said the creative writing department was coping as best as it could. “There’s going to be a range of emotional reactions — concern, surprise — and clearly, all of that is roiling the waters,” he said. “I believe the acting co-directors have done a great job in trying circumstances

over the past few days and are in touch with students.” He said that to his knowledge, the allegations had not been reported to police. Galloway did not immediately respond to emails and calls requesting comment on Thursday. The dearth of information has prompted some observers, including Canadian novelist Angie Abdou, to fear Galloway’s reputation is being tarnished before any facts are known. “Everyone is tweeting the same story about Steven, the one with no new information and no facts but an ugly undertone. It leads people to jump to the worst conclusions,” she said in an email.

The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, a community-run salmon hatchery and environmental education facility, was also badly damaged.

Ashley Page, a conservation officer based in the Vancouver area, testified Wednesday in the trial of two men accused of illegally killing a moose two years ago. Wei Li and Xin Xiao are each charged with illegal hunting and possession of a moose, as well as failure to retrieve edible portions of the animal. Li also faces a charge of hunting while not a resident of Canada. Page told provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley she was dispatched to a home on Vancouver’s west side to find a pickup matching a description phoned in by two witnesses on Oct. 5, 2012. She arrived at a gated residence, where a maid answered via intercom. “From the outside, I observed a pickup matching the description,” she said.

Black says $22-billion proposal is not dead JEFF NAGEL BC LOCAL NEWS

B.C. oil refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline — he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead. The Victoria businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press and this newspaper, spoke Wednesday at a Rotary Club meeting in South Surrey. Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian markets. He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead,” but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitumen at sea. Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere. He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker — virtually solid — compared to the diluted bitumen that moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train. The bitumen would be heated at the beginning and end of each rail trip to make it flow for loading and unloading from tanker cars. Black argues it would be unlikely to leak or burn if a train derailed. “It’s safer and way easier,” he said, estimating six trains a day would run every four hours. Black continues to pursue environmental approvals, and believes that with green lights from regulators and first nations, oil shippers and financiers will come on board. But his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with the same technology. Its backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors.

David Black spoke to Rotarians in South Surrey on Wednesday about his proposal for an oil refinery in northwestern B.C. [TRACY HOLMES/BLACK PRESS]

Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert but Black said that firm is trying to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen. There are other potential sites with different first nations, he said, but they’re less suitable. Black also criticized the provincial government’s focus on liquefied natural gas projects. He said his refinery would generate more permanent jobs and taxes for governments than even an optimistic number of LNG plants. “Government really dove at this,” he said, adding the province “rolled over” in guaranteeing generous tax treatment to get the industry on board, leaving little future revenue to government. Too many LNG plants are already being built in Australia and the U.S., he said, while Japan’s shift back towards nuclear power will cut demand. “I just don’t think there’s much chance,” Black said. “The LNG dream is now fading.” Black is not concerned that low oil prices will also doom his refinery dream.

He said he believes low prices as well as the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline to the U.S. Gulf Coast will make his option for reaching lucrative Pacific markets increasingly attractive to oil firms grappling with narrowing margins, particularly in Alberta’s oil sands. Black maintains a refinery can’t be built in Alberta itself because of opposition from multinational oil firms that own Texas refineries, and because the large prefabricated modules that can be assembled on the B.C. coast can’t be hauled inland. His proposal would use an unusual technology, adding $5 billion to the costs, that slashes the carbon emissions to less than one third of a conventional refinery. Black argues the “greenest refinery in the world” would largely offset the higher emissions of oil sands bitumen and forge a political solution for Canada’s energy policy makers. “It cleans the whole industry up,” Black said. “We’re not in the dirty oil business any more. We get huge value add. And it takes away the issue of a heavy oil spill at sea.”

GLOBAL POLITICS

APEC leaders want action on terror Statement a departure from convention for forum, which normally focuses on trade and business issues JIM GOMEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA, Philippines — Asia-Pacific leaders called Thursday for governments to urgently increase co-operation in the fight against terrorism as they wrapped up annual talks haunted by the Paris attacks. “Under the shadow cast by the terrorist attacks in Paris, Beirut, and against Russian aircraft over the Sinai, and elsewhere, we strongly condemn all acts, methods, and practices of terrorism,” the leaders said in a summit declaration. The statement was a departure from convention for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, which normally focuses on trade and business issues. The APEC bloc groups the United States and China with middle powers such as Australia and developing nations in Asia and South America. It accounts for about 60 per cent of the global economy. In their declaration, the leaders stressed the “urgent need for increased international co-operation and solidarity in the fight against terrorism.” “We will not allow terrorism to threaten the fundamental values that underpin our free and open economies,” they said. President Barack Obama, China’s President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were in the Philippine capital for the summit, as France and Russia were pursuing resolutions in the UN Security Council, seeking to unite the international community in combating the Islamic State group. Reacting to reports of the killing of a Chinese hostage by IS that underscored the threat of terrorism across the globe, Xi called the group the “common enemy of humankind” in comments quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency. IS said in its magazine Wednesday that it had killed former school teacher and self-described “wanderer” Fan Jinghui, 50, and a Norwegian who it was holding for ransom.

“We will not allow terrorism to threaten the fundamental values that underpin our free and open economies.” APEC Declaration

The French Interior Ministry and Paris prosecutor’s office said Thursday it remains unclear whether the suspected mastermind of last week’s Paris attacks, which killed 129 people, has been killed or is still at large. A gunbattle Wednesday, as police hunted the man, killed two people. Eight were arrested. The mission of the 21-member APEC, convened in Manila under extremely tight security, is lowering barriers to trade and economic development. The declaration noted the vital link between lack of economic opportunity and terrorism. “Economic growth, prosperity, and opportunity are among the most powerful tools to address the root causes of terrorism and radicalization,” it said. The leaders called for a renewed effort to eliminate poverty, which “continues to be a reality” for millions in their region. APEC has its detractors, and anti-globalization protesters clashed with police near heavily guarded summit venues, despite rigorous security restrictions that closed major downtown thoroughfares to all but official vehicles. About 1,000 activists chanted and waved banners in a tussle with riot police at security barricades on the fringes of the meetings. Police used water cannons and canes against the crowd, which eventually dispersed. Over the past two decades, “APEC and imperialist globalization have only benefited the rich countries while further impoverishing developing countries like the Philippines,” said protest leader Renato Reyes, of the left-wing alliance Bayan.

Supreme Court to rule if Alberta must also enact its laws in French THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada is set to rule Friday on whether Alberta is required by the Constitution to enact its laws in both English and French. The court will weigh in on the cases of two Alberta men charged with offences under the province’s Traffic Safety Act, which was passed only in English. The legal arguments put forward by both sides are grounded in historical context. The appellants have fought their cases on the grounds they have a constitu-

tional right to legislative bilingualism — laws enacted in both languages. Alberta motorist Pierre Boutet was given a traffic ticket in 2003 and argued it was unconstitutional because the law was not enacted in both languages. Boutet’s case was later joined with that of Gilles Caron, which raised the same issues over another traffic offence. After a 89-day trial in 2008, a provincial court ruled in favour of Boutet and Caron. Caron’s lawyer, Roger Lepage, has argued the case also has implications for people in Saskatchewan, where language laws are similar to Alberta’s.

MP denies calling candidate whore in video posted online A Conservative MP from Saskatchewan denies calling a provincial NDP candidate a whore. A reporter from Moose Jaw posted the video Thursday in which Tom Lukiwski is heard to say: “We’ve got to get Greg back elected. He’s

too important of an MLA to let go down to an NDP whore just because of a bad boundary.” “At no point did I use any sort of profanity to describe the NDP,” he said in a statement. The reporter, Mickey Djuric, said she heard “whore” and quit her job at the Moose Jaw Times Herald because the paper refused to run her story. — THE CANADIAN PRESS

Law would give cyclists space Motorists could be fined and given demerit points for getting too close to cyclists if the Manitoba legislature passes a private member’s bill calling for a bike buffer zone. Dave Gaudreau, an NDP backbencher, is putting forward a proposal that vehicles move over at least one metre when passing cyclists. The one-metre rule has been promoted for years by cycling groups and took effect this year in Ontario. Legislation there penalizes offending drivers $110 and two demerit points.

The Food and Drug Administration in the United States has approved the production and sale of the first genetically modified salmon for human consumption. The decision comes years after the U.S.-based company applied for the permission to sell its fish to consumers, drawing criticism from some who say there is too much uncertainty about the health of the product. To date, Heal Canada said no genetically modified animal has received approval for human consumption in Canada.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Associated Press ◆ RIO DE JANEIRO

Police officer charged in killing of 10-year-old A Brazilian prosecutor has charged a Rio de Janeiro police officer with homicide in last April’s killing of a 10-year-old boy during a police operation against suspected drug traffickers in one of the city’s largest slums. The charges filed by Homero das Neves against officer Rafael de Freitas Rodrigues challenge police findings that the officer fired in self-defence and that 10-year-old Eduardo de Jesus Ferreira was caught in crossfire. The boy’s mother, Terezinha Maria de Jesus, has said she saw a police officer shoot her son. “The circumstances surrounding young Eduardo’s death could become a watershed moment in the fight against impunity and this is an important step by the Public Prosecutor to ensure external oversight over police actions,” Atila Roque, executive director of Amnesty International Brazil, said.

Jonathan Pollard, spied for Israel, to leave prison Former spy Jonathan Pollard is set to be released from a federal prison in North Carolina today, 30 years after he was caught selling American intelligence secrets to Israel. But he’ll be on a short leash as he rebuilds his life as a free man. Pollard, 61, was given a life sentence in 1987 in a case that has complicated diplomacy between the two countries. He’s expected to settle in the New York area while he spends at least the next five years on parole. He will be barred him from travelling outside the country, including to Israel, without permission. Many in Israel view him as a hero. Pollard’s lawyers, Eliot Lauer and Jacques Semmelman, said in late July that they had secured employment and housing for him “in the New York area,” but they haven’t revealed any details.

◆ MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY

Pot-growing clubs create ‘grey area’ for product Authorities in Uruguay say the country’s legal pot-growing clubs may be selling marijuana and cannabis products without approval, creating a kind of “grey market.” The pot-growing clubs are allowed to have 45 members who can collectively cultivate up to 99 plants for personal use, but they cannot sell the marijuana. Uruguay became the first nation to approve marijuana legalization and regulation in 2013. The law also allows Uruguayan adults to buy up to 40 grams of marijuana from pharmacies once a month. But there have been delays in implementing the pioneering plan. National Drug Board chief Milton Roman said Thursday that the so-called “grey market” is not good for the marijuana legalization program.

MIDDLE EAST

Palestinian attacks in Tel Aviv and West Bank leave five dead Incidents are part of wave of violence that erupted in mid-September over holy site TIA GOLDENBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — A pair of stabbing and shooting attacks carried out by Palestinians killed five people Thursday — three Israelis, a Palestinian and an American — in one of the deadliest days yet in a two monthlong outburst of Israeli-Palestinian violence. The attacks are part of wave of violence that erupted in mid-September over tensions surrounding a Jerusalem holy site sacred to both Jews and Muslims. Palestinians accuse Israel of plotting to take over the hilltop compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims at the Noble Sanctuary — something Israel vehemently denies. The Palestinians say the violence is rooted in frustration at decades of living under Israeli occupation. Israel accuses Palestinian leaders of inciting the unrest. The violence was initially confined to Jerusalem and gradually spread deeper into Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In Thursday’s first attack, a knife-wielding man stabbed and killed two Israelis as several of them gathered for afternoon prayers on the second floor of an office building in the Israeli commercial centre of Tel Aviv. Shimon Vaknin, a witness,

told reporters he saw a bloodied man stumble into the room where he prayed with companions. “He was all slashed and bloody. We were in shock,” Vaknin said. “We didn’t know what happened and then someone near the door shouted: ‘there’s a terrorist.”’ He described a dramatic standoff, with worshippers standing

against the closed shop door as the assailant tried to force his way in. Israeli media showed footage of a blood-spattered floor littered with plastic gloves. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the attacker was apprehended by onlookers. She identified him as Raed Khalil bin Mahmoud, a 36-yearold Palestinian father of five from the

West Bank village of Dura, near the West Bank city of Hebron, a frequent flashpoint for violence. Hours later, a Palestinian motorist opened fire on a line of cars stuck in traffic in Gush Etzion, an area south of Jerusalem in the West Bank. The Israeli military said he then intentionally rammed his vehicle into a group of pedestrians. The military said soldiers shot at the attacker, “identifying a hit,” although the attacker’s condition and identity was not known. That attack killed three people, including an 18-year-old American and an Israeli. Among the dead was a Palestinian man, but police said it was not clear if he was hit by the attacker’s fire or that of Israeli forces. U.S. State Dept. spokesman Edgar Vasquez confirmed the American’s death but did not disclose his identity. “We extend our condolences to his family and friends. Out of respect for the privacy of the family, we have no further details to share,” he said. Since the violence broke out, Israel has sent troops to back up thousands of police patrolling cities, set up checkpoints in Arab neighbourhoods of east Jerusalem, and outlawed an Islamic group accused of inciting to violence. But it has struggled to contain the seemingly spontaneous attacks.

BUSINESS

Pension fund invests $1.5B in Bombardier ROSS MAROWITS THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Weeks after receiving a cash infusion from the Quebec government, Bombardier has signed a deal that would see the province’s pension fund manager invest US$1.5 billion for a minority stake in the company’s rail business. Under the agreement announced Thursday, the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec would receive shares that would be convertible into a 30 per cent stake in a newly created holding company for Bombardier Transportation. Bombardier said the deal concludes its review of options for the division, which sells subway cars and other mass transit systems. The company had considered spinning off the stake in a public offering and was rumoured to have been approached by Chinese railways. “Today we are gaining an ideal partner for the sustainable growth of our business,” Bombardier

chief executive Alain Bellemare said during a conference call. He said the transaction increases the company’s financial and operational flexibility while allowing it to maintain a majority stake in the railway division. Its total liquidity or cash reserve would increase to about US$6.5 billion as of year-end. The cash would allow Bombardier to put its two CSeries planes into service, develop the Global 7000/8000 business jets and provide a safety net if economic conditions put additional pressure on the business, Bellemare added. Bombardier has been struggling to complete development of its CSeries passenger jet, which is over budget and behind schedule. Last month, Quebec agreed to give Bombardier US$1 billion to help complete development of the CSeries in exchange for a 49.5 per cent stake in that project. The federal government is also considering a proposal to provide financial assistance.

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.

Expert at police trial grilled by the defence DIANA MEHTA THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The lawyer for a Toronto officer on trial for killing a teen on an empty streetcar ripped into the credibility of a use-of-force expert on Wednesday, suggesting the key prosecution witness had a problematic “lack of practical experience.” Peter Brauti’s barbs were hurled at Robert Warshaw, who testified this week at Const. James Forcillo’s trial. “I’m going to suggest you’re way, way in over your head,” Brauti said during a spirited cross-examination session. “I’m going to suggest your lack of practical experience is a problem in this case.” Warshaw — a former U.S. police chief who has helped several forces reform their operations — has testified that Forcillo had multiple alternatives to lethal force before he shot Sammy Yatim in July 2013, but didn’t use them. Crown prosecutors have said they plan to prove that Forcillo’s actions weren’t necessary or reasonable. Forcillo’s lawyer has said his client’s actions were justified and carried out in self-defence.

Evidence of strange Senate contracts heard at Duffy trial Witness earned $65K, signed cheques, but had no real position, did no work JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Gerald Donohue wasn’t a professional speechwriter or researcher, didn’t have any particular public policy background and wasn’t the employee or officer of any company. But over the span of three years, the longtime friend of Sen. Mike Duffy took in roughly $65,000 in taxpayer money for a variety of contracts, directing the money through a firm owned by his wife and son. He also signed several cheques on behalf of the firm to other individuals and companies that Duffy wanted paid for Senate work — an intern, a makeup artist, speechwriters. Donohue’s testimony Thursday marked the winding down of the Crown’s fraud, breach of trust and bribery case against Duffy. The senator has pleaded not guilty on all 31 counts. Prosecutors tried several times over the last seven months to call Donohue as a witness, but poor health continually postponed his testimony. The Crown alleges that the $65,000 in contracts awarded to Donohue was used as a slush fund for Duffy to pay for services that wouldn’t pass muster with the Senate. By video link from his home in an Ottawa suburb, the witness answered prosecutor Mark Holmes’ questions about his relationship with Duffy. The two met in the late 1980s at local Ottawa TV station CJOH — Donohue was a human resources manager, Duffy a host. Over the years, the two men kept up a

friendship of sorts. Donohue was a sounding board for Duffy, who would call to talk to him about a wide variety of issues. “We talked for hours and hours, for 20 years, the volume of discussions didn’t change. We would talk for 100 hours in a year . . .,” Donohue said. “He would call me up, and say, ‘What about a pension plan? What about my wife’s pen-

sion? What about leasing a car?’ Whatever crossed his mind, he would call me and I would do my best to give him an answer.” After Duffy entered the Senate, Donohue said Duffy continued to pick his brain — this time for pay. He was asked to research the aging population, which he did on the Internet, or to come up with ideas for a speech on why Duffy was a Conservative.

‘Scud Stud’ leak source almost quit campaign BILL GRAVELAND THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Lawyers for one of Canada’s largest media companies are suggesting that a former television reporter was a loose cannon with his “own agenda” when he ran for a seat in the Alberta legislature. Arthur Kent’s lawsuit against Postmedia, the National Post and columnist Don Martin alleges they defamed him when he was campaigning to win the Calgary Currie seat for the Progressive Conservatives in the 2008 provincial election. Lawyer Kristine Robidoux, who has since been identified as one of the sources Martin used, admitted under cross-examination Thursday that she was angry at Kent during the campaign and was considering quitting because he seemed to be at odds with the PC party and leader Ed Stelmach. She noted they had a disagreement over whether Kent would appear at a public event with the other Calgary candidates and Stelmach. “I don’t think he liked I was being persistent. His response was to be curt to me,” she said. “He didn’t accede to the request which made me angry. I was afraid once I got on Arthur’s bad side he would alienate me.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

VIU senior likes the way this year is going Jason Fortin is in his final year with the Mariners and is looking for another Canadian championship SPORTS INSIDE Today’s issue

SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

ason Fortin, more than anyone else in the Nanaimo basketball scene right now, has done his share of winning. His resumé is loaded with accomplishments from his time at Dover Bay Secondary School and the last four years with the Vancouver Island University Mariners. A college national championship, and a national silver medal. A conference championship, and three conference silver medals. First team nationals all-star. Two Vancouver Island high school titles. But now, in his final year at VIU, nothing seems to matter for Fortin but getting that second national title. That, and soaking in his final year of competitive basketball. “I was looking at it the other day and I have about four months left in my basketball career,” said Fortin, a fifth-year senior at VIU who has been on academic tuition the entire time as he pursues a sciences degree. “It feels kind of weird and I’m just going to try to soak it up and enjoy it as much as I can.

“Like on any basketball team you make lifelong friends, so I just want to make some good memories with these guys.” At 5-0 so far in the PacWest season, the Mariners have cruised to the No. 1 spot in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national rank-

ings and there hasn’t been much competition. That all changes tonight, when they host the 4-1 Langara Falcons at VIU at 8 p.m., a day before a game between the also-undefeated Quest Kermodes, also at VIU. It is the first major test of the sea-

son for the Mariners in what will be their final league games before the conference schedule breaks until January. Tonight’s game also features the two top scorers in the PacWest — Josh Ross of VIU and Drake Downer of Langara. But Fortin insists his team won’t change much of what they do, regardless of who lines up across from them. “Even if it’s a team that’s on paper weaker or stronger, we just come in with the same mindset and try

to play our game and let the results take care of themselves,” he said. “It’s not going be different for us.” The Mariners lost a lot from last year’s national silver medal-winning team, but there are consistencies. Third-year big man Jerod Dorby is still patrolling the post, and Fortin — a first-team all-star at nationals last season — provides all the leadership the team needs. Having the same coaching staff has also helped to keep the program consistently elite in the PacWest. Now they just need to focus on improving throughout the year, retaining that No. 1 ranking and putting themselves in the best position possible to go after a national championship. “We don’t want to peak until the end of the year,” Fortin said. “Every week we want to get a little better and it’s going to add up come the end of the year. Five-and-0 is obviously a great way to start, but we’re always looking at ways to improve.” Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Show-jumper wins double national titles DAILY NEWS

Athlete of the Week Krista Whittaker Sport: Soccer Achievements: Nanaimo’s Krista Whittaker was a part of the UBC Thunderbirds women’s soccer team that beat the Trinity Western Spartans last week 3-0 in the CIS national championship game. Whittaker was playing her final soccer game of her university career in that game, and was named as an all-star defender at the national tournament.

Nanaimo show-jumper and Queen Margart’s School senior Kassidy Ruelle (Keith) has returned from a three-city high-end tour that saw her win two Canadian championships. Starting in Calgary, Ruelle rode at the Royal West Horse Show and won the Greenhawk Junior/Amateur Hunter Classic and was reserve champion in the RMSJ 1.1 M Medal Championship on Oct. 22. “It was a busy time for the team in Calgary,” Ruelle’s mother and coach, Cheryl Keith, said in a press release from QMS. “The perseverance of our riders shows in their results. I’m thrilled.” Then, it was off to the south to compete on an even larger stage. Ruelle,took part in the 2015 ASPCA Maclay Finals in Kentucky on Oct. 28 among 153 riders from eight pre-defined U.S. qualifying regions. Ruelle was one of three Canadians in the event, and rode a near flawless round. After 105 riders had finished, the judges announced the Top 30 riders and Ruelle made this list. Of the remaining 50 riders, however, nine of them advanced to the top 30 which bumped Ruelle out of a spot for further competing in the Maclay Final. “The competition at (Kentucky was like nothing I’ve experienced before,” she said. After the Kentucky event, it was back to Canada but not before spending a day in New Jersey and New York. The next top of the tour was Toronto on Nov. 5 where Ruelle rode in the Royal Winter fair and was the reserve champion in the Junior Working Hunter division. “The Royal Winter Fair is one of the top equestrian events in Canada and has been a dream of her’s since her childhood.

“Competing in the same arena as some of my idols was unreal,” she said. “I tried to keep calm and remain focused.” She was the only junior rider to compete in the Hunter Derby finals. She also rode in the $15,000 Braeburn Farms Hunter Derby and finished 10th. The next night, she rode in the $25,000 Knightwood Hunter Derby and finished ninth. Both derbies had 16 pro riders, and Ruelle. On Nov. 10, Ruelle won the 2015 Jump Canada medal title competing among the top 25 riders in the country. And a day later, Ruelle capped off her whirlwind tour by riding in the Running Fox CET medal final, qualifying as one of the top four riders in B.C., and the top 16 in Canada. After the gymnastic phase of the competition, Ruelle was in second place but on Nov. 12 in the jumping phase she finished first. The third day of the event saw her complete the course as the winner of the event — an event that has been won my many now successful grand prix riders and Canadian Olympic team members. “The courses were tough, but I really enjoyed them,” Ruelle said. “I’m thrilled beyond words to win the CET Medal, but it wouldn’t have been possible at all without the support I received each and every day. “I’m proud of my outstanding partner Wallabee, and we share the win with my mom and our incredible support team.” Ruelle lives in Nanaimo but attends QMS for its on-campus equestrian team, which joined her in Calgary. Her tour marked the pinnacle of her riding career and she will graduate in June and explore what her options are in the sport after that. “Being at QMS, where I can ride every day and balance my school work with my training, has helped me make my competitive dreams a reality,” Ruelle said.

The last-place team coming to town could have been the recipe for the Nanaimo Buccaneers to end their losing streak. But that streak reached five games on Thursday night as they fell 5-3 to the Oceanside Generals at home.

Zach Funk, Nolan Richardson, Trent Bell and Billy Walters scored the Nanaimo goals as the Bucs outshout the Generals 45-26.

B.C. Lions GM blasts Harris for comments

13TH Annual

MIKE BEAMISH VANCOUVER SUN

nly a cactus at Wally Buono’s vacation property in Arizona was pricklier than the B.C. Lions general manager Wednesday when he reacted to the “frustration” expressed by star running back Andrew Harris. Harris, without a contract for next season, had the temerity to use a media scrum at the team’s Surrey training facility Monday to express his “frustration” over the direction of the Lions’ season and the way he was used at times, even though he led the Canadian Football League in yards from scrimmage and touches. “There have been times, where I felt, the amount of effort I’ve put into this club hasn’t been reflected back to me,” Harris said. “It’s been frustrating. I’ve got to reassess where I’m going to be next year.” Buono, an old-school football man who has a lawyer but doesn’t believe a clubhouse should have one, also a believes a locker-room is where you pile dirty laundry, not publicly air it out. After stating they had an “open and candid” conversation about a new contract, Buono said Harris going public with his beefs cast a negative light on the locker-room. “Do you think we’re not frustrated, going 7-11?” Buono told a news conference in Surrey. “Do you think people in Dennis’s (president Skulsky) and my office aren’t frustrated? At the end of it, it’s partly our fault and we’ve got to show responsibility. You’re a professional athlete, you’re a professional coach, you’re a professional GM. I don’t stand up here, every week, and show my frustrations. You’ve got to be enough of a pro to know you can’t do that.” One of the cardinal rules in parenting is to never engage in sibling comparisons. Harris and kicker Richie Leone aren’t related, but they are brothers in a team sense. Or, at least, they were. But Buono compared the former’s attitude with the latter, who was benched for Game No. 18, then came on strong with three field goals — the Lions’ only points — in a 35-9 defeat to Calgary in the West Division semifinal on Sunday. “He (Leone) didn’t like it (his benching),” Buono said. “But, at the end of the day, he did what I hoped he would do. He didn’t pout. He took the time to make himself better. Was he disappointed? Yes. Was it tough for him the last couple of games? Yes. But he stroked the ball well against Calgary. Professional football is tough. When you’re not doing well, everybody sees it and criticizes you. “But, if you don’t like it, go do something else, or go work in a bank. Nobody’ll know what you’re doing, and nobody will care.” As for his banking future, Buono is not about to join the grumpy old men parked on a bench and whining in TD Canada Trust’s popular TV commercial. Under contract through the 2016 season and into 2017, the 65-year-old intends to see it through. He was asked the same question by the team’s host broadcaster, TSN 1040, on Monday, the

“. . . if you don’t like it, go do something else, or go work in a bank. Nobody’ll know what you’re doing, and nobody will care.“ Wally Buono, Lions GM

day after the Lions’ fourth straight playoff elimination in the first round. For emphasis, Buono repeated it Wednesday. He’s not going anywhere — unlike Harris. “I’ve said this over and over again,” he said. “I have a contract until ’17. I’ve made a commitment to the people who run the organization, both to David (Braley) and Dennis. And I’m going to do that.” After the Lions’ finished 9-9 last season — outscored 120-36 in their final three games, including a 50-17 annihilation in the East Division semifinal — Buono suggested, “We all have to share in the blame.” Yet most of it fell on head coach Mike Benevides, who was fired on Nov. 17 and replaced by Jeff Tedford a month later. Those looking for a mea culpa or an act of contrition on Buono’s part this year will be disappointed. That’s the word the GM used — “disappointed” — when asked if he was assessing his role in a season in which the Lions not only did more backsliding in the standings but, more profoundly, in attendance, retreating to levels not seen since before the dawn of the Buono era in B.C. (2003). “Obviously, everybody, every year, has to self-evaluate,” Buono said. “You just don’t evaluate the people below you. You evaluate yourself. From that point of view, that’s going to be done.” Tedford’s coaching will be part of the evaluation process. Buono said he couldn’t categorically guarantee that he would be back (Tedford still has a year to run on his contract). But it seems highly unlikely that the trumpeted appointment of last December won’t return, having expressed the desire to do so. “It’s a tough question to answer,” Buono said. “I’ve still got to sit down with David and Dennis and assess the whole situation. “My situation included. For me to say anybody is going to be back would be premature.” It was a news conference that seemed, well, short on news but long on tap dancing — except for Andrew Harris. He doesn’t need a weather man to know which way the wind is blowing.

NHL

Unimpressive Canucks hit quarter point Youth movement has had its moments, but will the growing pains be too much for the youngsters to bear?

ire fire. Wake-up call. Reality. Whatever spin you choose to summarize a sobering 1-4-2 road trip — including losing two one-goal games in regulation and two more in overtime to sink to 0-for-6 in the new 3-on-3 format — one thing is clear after 20 games. The Vancouver Canucks are good enough to keep games close, they just can’t close. They played well in the first two periods Wednesday in Winnipeg and then played bad in the third. Again. In the seven-game slog, the Canucks scored just six third-period goals and three came in the lone win in Columbus, which included an empty-net goal in the final frame. That’s beyond disturbing. Everybody knew there would be teething problems in committing to the kids, but we welcomed the refreshing retool-on-the-fly roster direction with open arms. There would be occasional pain in relying more on the rookies, but self-inflicted wounds by the veteran core — everything from suspect special teams to an unravelling defence — has put the Canucks in peril of plummeting in the Pacific Division. Chicago is here Saturday and New Jersey on Sunday. Then it’s off to Minnesota, Dallas, Anaheim and Los Angeles. Standings seldom alter to a great degree after U.S. Thanksgiving Day. Catching teams after that date is one thing, passing them is another. And with Brandon Sutter, Luca Sbisa and Radim Vrbata injured to varying degrees, the climb will be more arduous if areas of considerable concern aren’t immediately addressed. The power play surrendered three shorthanded goals on the seven-game trip — and a penalty-shot goal against shorthanded opposition — and that ranks with the overtime odyssey as real head-scratchers. Weren’t Henrik and Daniel Sedin supposed to provide the answer rather than being anchors in the new

Ben Kuzma The Province overtime alignment? It’s to the point now where the Canucks should get games to a shootout to gain the extra point. They were 6-2 last season and 1-0 this season in the skills show. You also wonder how losing will affect rookies Ben Hutton, Jared McCann and Jake Virtanen. Infectious youthful enthusiasm and exciting skill levels — Hutton’s coolness under fire, McCann’s uncanny ability to find open ice and release a quick shot, and Virtanen’s bowling-ball presence — have overshadowed Bo Horvat’s sophomore slump and the ongoing search for Sven Baertschi to turn defensive awareness into offensive productivity. You wonder what the kids will do next because they had moments of excellence and exposure on the telling trip. But they’re not the problem. They’re the hope.

The hobbled Vrbata has three goals on 74 shots, hasn’t scored in nine games, has a mystifying minus-11 rating and looks like a chip to play at the trade deadline. Ryan Miller started strong and has struggled. The 35-year-old starter turned back the clock after his first dozen starts. A 2.14 goals-against average was the best of his career and a .923 saves percentage was only bettered by a .929 in his Vezina season of 2009-10. Now, after the 4-1 loss in Winnipeg, he’s got a 2.51 GAA (34th) and .911 percentage (39th). The mental challenge of being the difference in any game — and not a problem in any of them — is being compounded by porous play in front of his net. It’s another reason why the Canucks have already lost five one-goal games in regulation — they lost just four all of last season — and are just 5-1-4 when leading after two periods. Yet, there is hope. There’s always hope because youth is being served here based on merit and not marketing. What shouldn’t be lost in the progression of the newbies is that what’s happening here isn’t a trend, it’s reality. It’s being thrown into

the deep end of the development pool and not drowning. Chicago has played eight rookies this season and Edmonton has used seven. The Canucks are now up to six — including the regular-season debuts of Alex Grenier, Hunter Shinkaruk and Brendan Gaunce — while Arizona has also used six. Boston, Buffalo, Nashville and Ottawa have deployed five rookies apiece and 10 members of Canada’s gold-medal winning 2015 world junior team have played in the NHL this season. If Willie Desjardins believes he’s coaching a .500 team, then the populace will embrace patience and temper expectation. This flip of the development switch was more likely to happen next summer with seven expiring contracts on the current roster and a dozen in the minors. But McCann has six goals, Virtanen hits like a truck and Hutton reminds you of Chris Tanev. And whether it’s being exposed to better training, nutrition and equipment — especially those one-piece composite sticks — the common shooting denominators with rookies are velocity and accuracy. Most are averaging two or three shots a night, but are burying chances. McCann has a 18.2 per cent efficiency percentage. Oscar Lindberg of the Rangers was at 21.2 per cent and Anthony Duclair of the Coyotes at 29.2 are the leaders among rookies with at least 18 games played. “Young kids have a different release,” said Miller. “They grew up on the one-piece (composite) stick and my generation grew up on wood and transitioned to the two-piece and then back to the one-piece. “I think there are a lot of confused guys out there in my generation who probably never found a consistent way to shoot. Jared and Jake have very different releases for us and they have their own voice, so to speak. Like a violin player with his own voice, they all have different kick points and their hands are at different levels. Their shots come off at different spots and with the shafts,

Kadri still trying to ditch his scoring slump STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — While Wayne Gretzky’s famous saying is, “You miss 100 per cent of the shots you don’t take,” lately Nazem Kadri has been missing 100 per cent of the shots he has taken. Kadri has gone 15 games without a goal, but the Toronto Maple Leafs centre hasn’t been afraid to shoot the puck. He’s averaging over four a game, and his 81 on the season trail only Alex Ovechkin for the NHL lead. His shooting percentage of 1.2 is the lowest in the league among players who have taken at least 50 shots. Because the law of averages is on his side, Kadri is trying not to get frustrated. “I’d be a little more frustrated if I

wasn’t getting the chances and the opportunities and it was a little bit tougher for me to get shots on nets,” Kadri said. “If I keep getting pucks to the net, good things are going to happen.” His coach certainly thinks so. Mike Babcock has been praising Kadri almost non-stop this season, despite the lack of production. “This is my two cents on Naz: He’s been, in my opinion, the best forward on our team,” Babcock said. “He competes every night, he’s in on all the chances, he generates a ton. He’s a way better player than I expected.” The basic stats say Kadri has been a below-average offensive player this season. He has only a goal and six assists in 19 games. But Kadri has

been creating scoring chances and is among the best players in the league at drawing penalties. So Kadri is remaining optimistic. “We’re finding ways to win, I’m finding other ways to contribute,” he said. “My all-around game I think has been at a different level, and I’m just getting a lot of encouragement and support from the coaching staff and my teammates. I want to be responsible out there. That’s No. 1 for me, and the goals will come second.” Kadri doesn’t remember getting this volume of quality chances in years, so there’s reason to believe he’ll break out of it. Whether that comes Friday when the Leafs visit the Carolina Hurricanes remains to be seen. Babcock knows Kadri will get

there, both with scoring and his career. “In the end if he keeps working hard, he’ll find a way to score,” Babcock said. “In a hundred-mile journey, he’s on mile 25. He’s going to get way better as long as he competes. If he wants to be good, he’s going to be good.” Even though this is Kadri’s fourth full NHL season, he’s only 25. And he’s also in a big season on a oneyear contract with restricted free agency looming again this summer. Amid all that and the scrutiny of not scoring, Kadri is preaching patience for himself. When he was stopped on the doorstep on two straight shifts the other night, he simply tipped his hat to a hot goaltender.

they know how to lean on it.” Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma has already witnessed the wonders of Jack Eichel. The second pick in the 2015 draft had six goals entering play Thursday, and is swift, strong and supremely skilled. In one highlight-reel goal, he shed off a defenceman with one hand while coming off the boards, cut to the slot and whipped a wrist shot through traffic into the top corner. On another, he did the Steven Stamkos one-knee down, one-time slapper that found a small opening between the goalie’s pad and post. You can’t teach that stuff. “It used to be when you were young, you had a bad shot,” Bylsma said of NHL newcomers. “Now, the release and shot is pretty remarkable at such a young age. You’re astounded.” And that’s what should be exciting for the Canucks. The kids are going to make mistakes — Hutton was a turnstile at his own blueline Monday to complete Montreal’s rally from a 3-0 deficit — but they’ll get better in heat of close games rather than blowout laughers. And you have to like their jam, too. McCann was rocked so hard by a heavy and suspect Adam Larsson shoulder hit on Nov. 8 in New Jersey — it rode up and caught his head — that he spun and fell to the ice. He had to gather himself and briefly left the game to get medical clearance. “I didn’t really expect it,” he said. “The puck was in front of me and I didn’t have it. I just had to catch my breath because it knocked the wind out of me. I just had to gather my thoughts.” The thought was that the ensuing five-minute power play should have been the difference to snap a 3-3 tie in what would prove a 4-3 overtime loss. It would be symbolic. Virtanen also stood up to Bobby Farnham in a fight in the same game and didn’t back down. In a forgettable road trip, these are the things you want to remember.

Wings put Franzen on long-term injury reserve The Detroit Red Wings have put forward Johan Franzen on long-term injury reserve because of concussion-like symptoms. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland says Franzen is out indefinitely. Franzen played on back-to-back days in October, returning to the ice for the first time in nine months. He missed 49 games last year because of a concussion and also missed much of the previous season with concussion-like symptoms. When healthy enough to play, Franzen was a key scorer for the Red Wings. He has 187 goals and 370 points in 602 games since making his NHL debut during the 2005-06 season.

Bigger nets? Shrink goalie equipment? Theories to fix NHL’s scoring problem STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Steven Stamkos watches old NHL highlights and sees a completely different game than the one that he’s starring in. “The goals that were scored 20, 30, 40 years ago have no chance of going in the net now,” the Tampa Bay Lightning captain said. “It definitely is harder than ever to score and put up points.” Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman called it “tough to score, real tough,” and Mike Babcock of the Toronto Maple Leafs deemed it “impossible to score.” The NHL isn’t at a crisis point like it was in the early 2000s when interference, clutching and grabbing had drowned scoring to 5.14 goals a game, the lowest level since the expansion era began in 1967. But after post-lockout rule changes opened up the game in 2005-06 to get the league to 6.16 goals a game, it’s back down to 5.46 through the first 277 games this season. “The athletes are better, bigger, stronger goalies and it’s just tougher to score,” Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said. “Better coaching, video, all these things.” Modern hockey is arguably the fastest the game has ever been, but there’s no shortage of complaining about a lack of scoring chances and goals. And there are plenty of theories on how to fix the NHL’s scoring problem. MAKE THE NETS BIGGER Babcock started this new wave of goal-scoring grumbling recently when he said goaltender interference reviews were taking goals away when the puck was already not going in enough. He pointed to the size of goalies in 1980 to now and explained the game has changed significantly as a result. Hockey nets are six feet wide by four feet tall. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the size of goaltenders has grown four inches in the past three decades. Making the nets an inch or two bigger is not a new idea. NHL senior vice-president and director of hockey operations Colin Campbell has four different sized nets in his barn and cautioned that even though GMs have discussed the idea, it would have far-reaching consequences, like whether minor, junior and youth leagues all over the world would have to spend millions of dollars to change their nets.

competition committee, used to be against making nets bigger but now supports the idea. Bowman and Iginla’s coach with the Colorado Avalanche, Patrick Roy, would rather the league make the goalposts smaller. “If every time you hit the crossbar and the post it goes in, and it happens three or four times a game, I think that could make a difference,” Roy said. MAKE GOALIE EQUIPMENT SMALLER Goalies believe with the quality of sticks and the speed of shots that they need equipment for safety reasons. Skaters — and GMs — disagree. “I think that guys are so big now and so athletic that I’m sure with the ways that companies make their equipment, they can find a way to still make it protective,” Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. Reducing goalie equipment has been an ongoing process in recent years, and it could take another step for next season. Campbell believes today’s bigger, better-trained and more athletic goalies are ready to co-operate with that. “It’s one thing to have large equipment, it’s another to be six-foot-six,” Campbell said. “We can’t legislate against that.” MAKE THE NEUTRAL ZONE SMALLER In 2005, the NHL increased the size of attacking and defen-

sive zones from 60 to 64 feet, with the aim of giving more room to manoeuvre offensively, especially on the power play. It worked right away, but over the past 10 years coaches and defenders have changed their approach, allowing the puck to move freely at the points on the blue line but collapsing to choke up room in better-quality scoring areas. Going back to 60-foot zones is where Bowman would start. “It’s hard now because the coaches, it’s a big end zone, they can’t cover the points, so they cover in front of the net, the scoring areas and (are) trying to stop goals,” Bowman said. “It’s hard to score from the point now because it has to go through a lot of guys and it has to beat a pretty good goalie.” CALL MORE PENALTIES One key to the offensive outburst in 2005-06 was an increase in power-play goals. Rules were more strictly enforced, and goals followed. The standard lapsed in the following seasons, and it’s something New York Islanders captain John Tavares noticed slipping even more after the allstar break last year. “There just was not as many penalties being called, and it made it really tough for a lot of guys to be able to create the same amount of opportunities and be able to score at the same rates that they had been,” Tavares said.

@NanaimoDaily

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Former Montreal Canadiens GM Bob Gainey once proposed a rule that would make it illegal for players to lay out on the ice to block shots. Keeping at least one skate on the ice would help prevent injuries and also allow more shots to get on net. Hall of Fame defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom suggested reducing the size of the crease to allow more activity around the net. With so many players saying they shoot for second chances and rebounds, it’s not a bad idea. “(To score) I think you’ve got to have a knack around the net,” said reigning Art Ross Trophy winner Jamie Benn, whose 87 points were the fewest to capture the scoring title since 1967-68. “I think the closer you are to the net, it’s probably going to be easier.” Then there’s the thought that better hockey is the objective, rather than more goals. Easier said than done. “There are certain 2-1 games that are really, really exciting, and there are certain games that are 2-1 that aren’t,” New Jersey Devils GM Ray Shero said. “And I’m not sure about what we’re talking about in terms of rules or interpretations or goalie equipment is just about goal-scoring. it’s about how you make the game better.” — WITH FILES FROM BILL BEACON IN MONTREAL

Jays’ Josh Donaldson wins AL MVP award THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has been named the American League MVP. Donaldson hit .297 with a league-best 123 runs batted in to help the Blue Jays to their first AL East title — and first playoff appearance — since 1993. The 29-year-old beat Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout for the honours and joined 1987 winner George Bell as the only Blue Jays players to be named AL MVP. “Enjoy the club, man,” Bell said in a video message sent out by the Blue Jays. “I’m glad for you, for your family and for Toronto Blue Jays fans.” What was characterized as a DONALDSON close race leading up to Thursday’s announcement turned out to be an easy win for Donaldson, who took 23 firstplace votes and seven second-place votes. Trout had seven first-place and 22 second-place votes, as well as one third-place vote. Outfielder Lorenzo Cain of the Kansas City Royals was third with 20 third-place votes. Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was a unanimous choice as National League MVP. Harper became the youngest unanimous MVP winner in baseball history, capturing the NL award despite his Washington Nationals missing the playoffs. Harper turned 23 on Oct. 16, after the playoffs had already started. He got all 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year led the majors in slugging percentage and on-base average. The outfielder hit .330 with 42 home runs and 99 RBIs. Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt finished second and Toronto native Joey Votto, a first baseman with Cincinnati, was third. Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista congratulated his teammate on social media moments after the MVP announcement was made.

Jags edge Titans for first winning streak since 2013 MARK LONG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Jacksonville Jaguars have their first winning streak in more than two years. Rashad Greene returned a punt 63 yards, setting up Blake Bortlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; five-yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas with 3:30 remaining, and the Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 19-13 on Thursday night. The Jaguars (4-6) won consecutive games for the first time since Decem-

ber 2013 and gained ground in the muddled AFC South. The Titans (2-8) lost for the eighth time in nine games and spoiled interim coach Mike Mularkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to Jacksonville. Mularkey was fired after one season with the Jaguars, a 2-14 campaign in 2012. For much of the night it looked as if Mularkey would celebrate a rare win in Jacksonville. But Greene, a rookie who missed the last seven games while recover-

ing from a torn ligament in his left thumb, weaved his way down the near sideline before finally getting tackled at the five. Bortles hooked up with Thomas on the next play, putting Jacksonville ahead 16-13. It was an easy call for Bortles, who noticed linebacker Derrick Morgan lined up across from Thomas before the snap. Phillip Supernaw fumbled on the ensuing possession, leading to Jason Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth field goal of the night and a six-point lead with 2:19

remaining. The Titans had one final chance and advanced to the 23 with five seconds remaining. But Andre Branch sacked Marcus Mariota on the final play. Branch did his usual windmill dance as he was mobbed by teammates. Bortles, who left the sideline briefly to be treated for dehydration, completed 21 of 30 passes for 242 yards. He extended his touchdown streak to 10 games. He also had two turnovers that kept Jacksonville from

getting ahead earlier in the game. The Jaguars failed to score on three trips inside the 20. Bortles threw an interception at the 12, adding to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woes in and near the red zone. Myers made kicks from 31, 32, 20 and 36 yards. The biggest head-scratcher for Jacksonville was running backup Denard Robinson three times, beginning with a firstand-goal play from the 7 early in the third quarter. Robinson was stopped for no gain on the final two carries.

Tonight: Hang out with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might choose not to share all your ideas at the present moment. Try to isolate yourself from others, and don’t scatter yourself in every which direction. Use care you’re your spending, as easily could go overboard. Tonight: Time to let your inner child run the show. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay close to home, even though this might not feel natural for you, as it will feel better than being out and about.

Be willing to discuss your goals, and you will take the first step toward making them a reality. You have what it takes. If you are single, you easily will meet someone who piques your interest. It is worth being patient and waiting for the right person. If you are attached, the two of you open up to new possibilities. You and your sweetie sometimes disagree about a long-term desire, but ultimately you will find a meeting point. PISCES can be very confrontational.

Pets in stores tolerated in too many cases Dear Annie: I would like to know why stores allow people to bring their pets inside. I have seen dogs sitting in the carts with their blankets as the owners push through the store. I often see one particular owner at the same store. She appears to like the attention the dog brings, as she stands and talks a lot to anyone who passes. My grandson is allergic to dogs and cats and would get quite sick if he were put in the same cart after an animal has been in it. I have had many cats, dogs, pigs and horses over the years and have loved them all, but would never think to bring them into stores where they could cause someone else to suffer respiratory distress. Maybe these pet owners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about the people they could adversely affect. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Please Leave Animals at Home Dear Home: Of course they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensitivities. They are too focused on their own. Many stores now feel obligated to allow pets because so many folks claim they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfort animalsâ&#x20AC;? with legal protection. This is often not the case, but stores are reluctant to challenge their patrons. Instead of expecting others to be more considerate (good luck with that), those with allergies must take their own precautions. Many stores now offer disinfectant wipes for their carts, but we recommend you bring your own, just in case. Dear Annie: I am tired of you saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;try harderâ&#x20AC;? to women who, like me, are past the age of 50 and tired of the sexual demands of our partners. I like sex, provided it is satisfying to both partners. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;slam bam thank you mamâ&#x20AC;? type doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count. I would like a little foreplay. I would like to be touched at other times. I would like to be respected and appreciated. I would like to be given some attention during the hour it takes for the Viagra to take effect and not jumped on when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready. Oh, sorry, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to make this about me. Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about him. It was all about him when he was 20 and had the sex drive of a rabbit. It was all about him when he was 30 and trying to prove he was adequate. And it is still all about him. There are things I refuse to do because I find them distasteful. There are things he cannot do, and then he blames me for his inadequacies. And he looks at porn online, saying I â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him what he needs.â&#x20AC;? I refuse to be treated like an object any more. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already been to counselling. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work because he â&#x20AC;&#x153;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it.â&#x20AC;? He just wants more sex. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tired of Sex, So Blame Me Dear Tired: Our advice to â&#x20AC;&#x153;try harderâ&#x20AC;? is for women whose husbands are kind and loving, but the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s libido is nonexistent and they have no interest in any sexual activity. This is obviously not the case for you. Your husband seems selfish, and your reluctance to please him has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with feeling unappreciated. Counselling is for you, not him. Try it on your own. Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HUNGER GAMES

Jennifer Lawrence stars in ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2’

[AP PHOTO]

Time has past for ‘Mockingjay’ Mockingjay Part 2 STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth DIRECTOR: Francis Lawrence PLAYING AT: Avalon Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 137 minutes JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

he Hunger Games movies have unfolded in a relative blitzkrieg — four movies in four years — and in a fan-fueled fever that has masked some seriously silly political allegory with the thrill of survival games and the awesome star power of Jennifer Lawrence. In the final installation, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, the game is over. Having left behind the “arena” — a wooded realm where teenagers from across the districts of the totalitarian Panem are set against each other in a televised kill-or-be-killed death match — at the conclusion of 2013’s Catching Fire, Mockingjay moves into a greater war, where Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), the reluctant participant plucked out of the mining region of District 12, discovers a wider network of like-minded rebels. In part two, the march toward the Capitol takes on an air of inevitable victory as the revolution, led

by President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore), contemplates power after the expected fall of the dictator Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland). Wary of replacing one corruption with another, an increasingly

grave Katniss discovers the truth of that old maxim: revolution is easy; democracy is difficult; and stretching the thin conceits of The Hunger Games into four films is even harder.

The pop pleasures of the early installments (the best of which was Catching Fire) are gone in the greyand-gloomy part two of Mockingjay. All the colour and vibrancy of the series has been drained away; a sizable chunk of action takes place in the sewer as Katniss and a band of rebels, navigating various traps, stealthily storm toward Snow, with plans to assassinate him. From the start, though, it’s clear Mockingjay Part 2 is neither intended for critics nor newcomers. It’s for the fans of Suzanne Collins’ books, to which the franchise has slavishly sworn its fidelity. Mockingjay Part 2, directed by Francis Lawrence (who has helmed all but the first film) and penned by Danny Strong, Peter Craig and Collins, picks up where the last film left off, with barely a glance backward. That, perhaps, is as it should be. The Hunger Games is for its passionate fans and — certainly in its final films — not anyone else. At the heart of the phenomenon is Collins’ clever rendering of passage into adulthood as survival through the (literal) slings and arrows of a cruel system that pits teenagers against one another in a competition that, for some, is barely more cutthroat than high school. Katniss’ ascent comes not through her mastery of the game, but her rejection of its rules. That’s been somewhat true of the films, too, which have put a strong female protagonist at the heart

of the franchise and surrounded her with only a limp love triangle (between Liam Hemsworth’s Gale and Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta, who was brainwashed in the last film) that’s always been secondary to Katniss’ plight. Katniss does, though, have a curious habit of blacking out at key moments of battle. And in Mockingjay Part 2, she’s still fighting against being used as a public-relations pawn for the rebellion, just as she was for Snow’s regime. Unfortunately lacking much screen time are two of the most lively and gaudy characters of the films — Stanley Tucci’s master of ceremonies and Elizabeth Banks’ chaperone — who always gave things a kick. Instead, the film is, well, dull. If Donald Sutherland is the most bubbly thing in your teenage sci-fi dystopia (and he is, by a mile), you may have stretched the seriousness too far. Instead, a feeling of time passing The Hunger Games by pervades. What should have been one movie was stretched into two. Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died nearly two years ago but remains here as the rebel leader Plutarch, is a ghostly, abbreviated presence. And Lawrence, still the magnetic centre of the saga, can elevate the material only so much. Four years clearly wasn’t fast enough for The Hunger Games. Lawrence outgrew this stuff long ago.

R&B Allstars First couple of fiddling bring ONE to Nanaimo back in town DAN WALTON PENTICTON WESTERN NEWS

A Canadian musical partnership a dozen years in the making, born from a love relationship rooted in a chance teenage encounter. It should be no surprise that Donnell Leahy and Natalie MacMaster are making music together. What is surprising though is that a pair of celebrated American producers played such a key role in making it happen. Before they were married, Leahy and MacMaster met through a fluke encounter as teenagers. But they went their separate ways and both built strong musical careers for themselves. After the two fiddle virtuosos reconnected as adults and became life partners, 12 years of matrimony had passed before they recorded an album together. Order of Canada winner McMaster has sold more than 200,000 albums, won two Junos and 11 East Coast Music Awards, and added a Grammy nomination. Leahy is the oldest brother of the internationally-acclaimed family musical group Leahy, winners of three Junos. “When we married in 2002, we felt there would be some recording project in the future, but we didn’t realize it wouldn’t happen until 2014” says Natalie. “Six children later we have finally documented our musical growth together.”

DAILY NEWS

The R&B Allstars will be performing at The Queen’s in Nanaimo on Nov. 21. The musical group is an eleven-piece rhythm and blues band from Vancouver. The band formed in 1980 and grew in popularity at venues like The Town Pump, Commodore, Richards on Richards and 86th Street, as well as their fair share of show in Nanaimo. After a decade of recuperation from “groove fatigue”, the Allstars reformed in 2013. The original band, with signature white tuxedos, first opened for Long John Baldry. At this gig, the band was seen by Harry Brandolini from the band No.5 Orange, and he had an idea that the Allstars and the “5” would be great weekend fit. Brandolini hired the band, and the line-ups began as did the curiosity, and the band was featured on the local news, radio and TV shows. Many write ups by people such as Tom Harrison only helped its popularity and the R&B Allstars soon became a fixture on the local Vancouver night life scene, Tickets for the Nanaimo concert are available at the The Queen’s for $23.75 and $27.25 at the door.

While the album has been described as “fiddle-centric,” it captures an array of styles. Elements of rock ’n’ roll are incorporated through the use of distorted guitar on the track Fiddler’s Despair. Pastiche for Anne requires two musicians to perform on the same piano, and the percussions used to record Joyous Waltz include paint cans and a cardboard box. And while they’re both known as acclaimed instrumentalists, MacMaster made her leading vocal debut through ONE on the track Cagaran Gaolach, which is an emotionally lament song. “This album is far beyond anything we ever imagined it being,” Leahy said. “Bob Ezrin is so musical, truthful and honest in how he works,” said MacMaster. “He heard the music the same way we did.” Ezrin was equally as happy over the outcome of ONE. “Both Natalie and Donnell are truly brilliant musicians whose instruments have become a natural extension of their bodies,” he said. “They are such accomplished players that whatever they think of they can produce on their violins. It’s absolutely magical!” That magic will be on display in Nanaimo Nov. 23, when the pair play the Port Theatre for a show slated to start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $49.50. Check with the Port Theatre for more information.

After more than 12 years of marriage, Celtic musicians Donnell Leahy and Natalie MacMaster are touring across Canada to share with audiences their first collaborative album. [SUBMITTED]

Though they were sure not to rush a good thing — through another lucky encounter, the couple was able to team up with producer Bob Ezrin, whose most notable clients include Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, and Deep Purple. Ezrin called upon Justin Cortelyou to co-produce, a man whose resume includes recordings with Taylor Swift, Ke$ha and Alan Jackson. The name of their album is ONE, and it was originally going to feature

ideas of Leahy and MacMaster that have been brewing since the beginning of their relationship. But in teaming up with Ezrin, a whole new direction came about. “Just when we thought we had it all planned out and ready to record, we met Bob. And through him, Justin,” the couple said on their website. “After meeting, we all very quickly realized this project was meant to be a collective effort, a passion shared by all.”

Raza Jaffrey (“MI-5”) and Luis Guzmán (“Traffic,” 2000) also star. Step into the whirlwind of activity and stress when a new episode of “Code Black” airs Wednesday, Nov. 25, on CBS and CTV.

CBS delves into the world of medical dramas with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Code Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Jacqui Wiens TV Media

hen it comes to medical dramas, for better or for worse, new shows tend to be compared to the iconic â&#x20AC;&#x153;ER,â&#x20AC;? which ran for 15 seasons on NBC. That classic program succeeded in exquisitely balancing the hectic professional lives of ER staff with their personal drama, and set a benchmark that its successors have been hard-pressed to match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anatomy,â&#x20AC;? which premiered a few years before the finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;ER,â&#x20AC;? has arguably been the most successful medical drama since. Over the past several years, new medical dramas have come and gone, often folding within one or two seasons. Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Band Society,â&#x20AC;? ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Box,â&#x20AC;? and USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rushâ&#x20AC;? are a few good examples. Lately, NBC is trying to reassert its dominance in the medical drama department with two new series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Medâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heartbreakerâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but CBS is throwing its hat in the ring, too. Stepping into the operating room with a brand-new, adrenalinefilled show, the eye network premiered â&#x20AC;&#x153;Code Blackâ&#x20AC;? in September. A new episode airs Wednesday, Nov. 25, on CBS and CTV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Code Blackâ&#x20AC;? is a medical term that can have different meanings depending on the hospital youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in. In this case, it refers to a situation in which there are too many patients for the staff to assess and treat each one properly. While an average hospital might encounter a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;code blackâ&#x20AC;? situations a year, Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fictional Angels Memorial Hospital is so understaffed and overworked that a code black is an almost daily occurrence. Despite the unrealistic nature of having such a consistently busy emergency room, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Code Blackâ&#x20AC;? attempts to stay as authentic as possible. Cast members prepared extensively for the show by learning medical terms, following real medical professionals at work and learning to perform a handful of real medical

procedures. Additionally, there are advisers on hand to provide feedback and advice during production, and some of the background actors are actually trained nurses. Headlining the cast is Marcia Gay Harden (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mist,â&#x20AC;? 2007) as residency director Dr. Leanne Rorish. Her approach to medicine is a bit more rash than some of her colleagues, and certainly Dr. Neal Hudson (Raza Jaffrey, â&#x20AC;&#x153;MI-5â&#x20AC;?) would prefer it if she toned it down. Dr. Hudson was once mentored by Dr. Rorish, but now believes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far too reckless for both her own good and the good of the hospital. Despite their disagreements, Dr. Rorish proves time and again that she is both experienced and skilled enough to pull off the unorthodox or high-risk procedures she favours. Dr. Rorish has been nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddyâ&#x20AC;? by the other staff, with senior nurse Jesse Sallander (Luis GuzmĂĄn, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traffic,â&#x20AC;? 2000) earning the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mama.â&#x20AC;? Sallander manages the residents, skirting a fine line between being tough enough to keep the young doctors in line and being likeable enough to build relationships with them. Rounding out the senior staff members is Dr. Rollie Guthrie (William Allen Young, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moeshaâ&#x20AC;?), an upbeat attending physician who has been at the hospital longer than any other doctor and who is always available to help the residents talk through a tough shift.
