TORONTO — Panic selling in Asia prompted by developments in China spread across the globe and threw the Toronto stock market into a tailspin Thursday, capping off seven consecutive days of losses and thrusting the index into bear market territory.

The S&P/TSX composite index ended the day off roughly 20 per cent from its all-time high in September 2014 — a loss considered by many as a bear market.

The index lost 278.59 points, or 2.2 per cent, to close at 12,448.21, as commodity prices, including oil, continued to fall amid perceived weakness in the Chinese economy.

Oil plunged to around levels not seen since 2008, with the February contract for benchmark crude oil losing 70 cents to close at US$33.27 a barrel. That pulled down energy stocks on the TSX by more than four per cent.

In New York, the Dow Jones plummeted 392.41

points to 16,514.10, the S&P 500 lost 47.17 points to 1,943.09, while the Nasdaq declined 146.33 points to 4,689.43.

Andrew Pyle, senior adviser and portfolio manager at Scotia Wealth Management, said it is the worst start to a new trading year for North American markets “in memory.”

But concerns about a repeat of the massive losses seen in 2008 are

overblown, said Pyle.

“The U.S. economy and the global economy isn’t crumbling,” said Pyle.

“We’re not in a global recession. We don’t have financial panic on Wall Street. We’re having sporadic events create this panic selling that we’ve seen this week.”

The global sell-off came after trading on China’s Shanghai and Shenzen stock markets was pre-emptively halted on Thursday for a second time this week after new “circuit breakers” were triggered when a benchmark stock index fell seven per cent.

The circuit breakers

also kicked in Monday, the first day of trading since they were introduced on Jan. 1.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission said after Thursday’s shutdown that the circuit breaker rule had been suspended.

The latest selling was linked to weakness in the yuan, as the government’s decision to let the Chinese currency weaken was seen as a bad sign for the health of China’s economy, the world’s second largest.

Pyle said declines seen over the past few days have been “knee-jerk reactions” to changes

happening in China and such losses are unlikely to continue in the coming weeks and months.

“China is going from being a production, manufacturing and exporting powerhouse to a country that is going to become more consumption-based — in other words, is going to look more like us,” said Pyle.

“And that transition takes a while, and it doesn’t happen smoothly.”

One bright spot amid the worldwide rout was the precious metals sector, including gold, which is seen as a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty.

A cycle of ‘day-to-day sorrow’ Man who lost everything to addiction lives under Nanaimo bridge

E

ric Christiansen says he just wants to be treated like a person.

The 43-year-old has been living under the Pearson Bridge for more than one month.

His hands and clothes are filthy.

He’s missing most of his front teeth.

His face is weathered from the environment and substance abuse.

His appearance matches the narrative he provides of his fatigued life.

He lives in a tent, equipped with a makeshift shelving unit made from a cracked, discarded pallet.

Aaron Hanging from it Hinks is rope, tape, scisReporting sors and a small birdhouse. He’s talks openly about his cycle of day-to-day sorrow and carries a crowbar for protection.

Near the outside of the tent door hangs an orange hardhat, Christiansen said it’s to deter people from shouting ‘get a job.’

But behind the rough exterior is a man who says he’s been held back by society and addiction.

C

hristiansen has been living on the streets for almost three years.

He’s spent time in Chilliwack, Vancouver and more recently Victoria.

He partied with drugs and alcohol since his teens. He had a landscaping business, a wife, and two children.

All was well until he lost his business. He moved into a low-income housing complex with his children and continued to use drugs on the weekends.

His drug use caught up with him and he eventually sought help for what became an addiction.

The government removed the children from his care and he was served a 10-day notice to move out of his low-income dwelling.

“I don’t want to take a bed and then wake up in the morning to find out some old guy froze to death because he couldn’t get a bed.”

Eric Christiansen, homeless in Nanaimo

“It went so fast I ended up in the streets. It was so devastating that I fell back into addiction,” he said.

He’s been bouncing from city to city, living on the streets and struggling with his drug dependency ever since.

“Sometimes you get burned out dealing with the city or police in a certain city and move on. They haven’t been too bad here,” he said.

The interior of Christiansen’s tent is layered with blankets, canned food, tools, and silverware.

Behind his tent there’s a bicycle. To the left there is a bike trailer filled with miscellaneous stuff and a grocery cart. Its contents are concealed with a red blanket.

Though he admits the nights are cold, he prefers his setup compared to sleeping in the city’s homeless shelters.

“I hate the shelters, they kick you

out at 6:30 in the morning,” Christiansen said.

Nanaimo’s social planner, John Horn said Nanaimo’s two shelters usually fill up. They are first-come, first-served. It can be challenging to get a bed, he said, but if you’re adamant and show up early you shouldn’t have a problem finding a warm place to sleep. On the coldest nights nobody will be turned away.

T

here are two reasons why Christiansen avoids those shelters.

“I don’t want to take a bed and then wake up in the morning to find out some old guy froze to death because he couldn’t get a bed when I have the ability to survive,” Christiansen said.

“I’ll go into the shelters and everyone is talking about drugs; they’re talking about it being so beautiful. I don’t want to hear it. I’m trying to do this and improve myself and not be a drag.”

Christiansen said the position he is in is his own doing, but society also has to shoulder some responsibility.

“I played a part, but society definitely helped keep me here. They played a part with turning their eyes and pretending we don’t exist.”

The Daily News received a letter to the editor from a woman who was ‘shamed and outraged’ that Christiansen was living under the Pearson Bridge. She labelled him

as a nuisance, a threat to our community, safety and quality of life.

She demanded the community do something.

Horn said Christiansen and his makeshift living quarters don’t fall under city jurisdiction. Since the land is under a provincial bridge it’s controlled by the provincial government.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said it’s aware of Christiansen and his living arrangement.

“While residing under the Pearson bridge is not permitted, the ministry is working closely with the City of Nanaimo and local law enforcement to ensure the matter is handled respectfully and collaboratively,” ministry spokeswoman Sonia Lowe said in a statement.

While Christiansen was being interviewed for this story, a woman walking by shouted cuss words at him.

She told him to get a job.

“That’s the hardest part right there, that’s the hardest thing to deal with.

I’m a human and I have humanity.

That’s not humane,” Christiansen said.

“If there was a dog on the side of the road almost everybody would pull over and help. Same situation with a homeless man? I was pulling my bike and trailer and I got hit. I was on the side of the road and people were honking their horn at me. Like come on, what happened to compassion, goodwill among men?”

Approximately 15 minutes before the woman passed by shouting profanities, a man walked past pushing a suitcase on w heels.

Christiansen said the man’s name is Drake and he’s also homeless.

Drake, without asking, reached into his suitcase and pulled out a pair of socks that were inside a ziplock bag.

He threw the bag to Christiansen, exchanged a few words, and kept on walking.

“He’s a good soul. He’s a good guy,” Christiansen said. “You’ll get that.

People out here are selfless.”

“You get bad seeds too, you get homeless stealing from homeless, but you also get that. Some of the best people in my life I have met on the streets, some of the greatest people. There are wonderful stories, but also heartbreaking stories.”

C

hristiansen’s solution to addressing homelessness is twofold. He said there needs to be more social, low-income housing that’s always available. There also needs to be some sort of outdoor property where homeless can camp without being hassled by the public. The area would need to provide the most basic necessities, such as hot water, a shower and washroom.

“It’s got to be both,” he said. “There needs to be rules. If they don’t follow the rules, and of course you’re going to have people that won’t conform.

There’s nothing you can do about that, that’s the same everywhere.

People are going to use it for a transition period.”

The RCMP have made several visits to Christiansen’s camp and told him to dismantle. Christiansen asked the police where he’s supposed to go. He said the response was: ‘I don’t know.’ “‘I don’t know’ is not an acceptable answer. I’ll go camp in the clouds if that makes it easier for everybody,” he said.

As for the general public, Christiansen says, it’s best if people just reserve judgment.

“They could just stop and say ‘hello,’” he said. “Or they could talk once in a while.”

Shelters operate over capacity on most nights DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

It’s too early to predict the outcome of the next homeless count, but operators of emergency shelters say they see a growing need for temporary housing.

In early February, Nanaimo will be part of a 30-community study to measure homelessness across Canada.

Cold weather drives up use of homeless shelters, but Nanaimo shelter operators say they saw demand rise even before the snow arrived this week, and before temperatures plunged below zero Celsius over Christmas. “We’ve been incredibly busy,� said Rev. Samaya Oakley, developmental minister with First Unitarian Fellowship, which operates the 24-bed extreme weather shelter at

A makeshift camp has been set up at a rest step in south Nanaimo for several days. [AARON HINKS/DAILY NEWS]

595 Townsite Rd. That shelter has been operating at near, or over capacity every night since it opened for the winter season, which runs from Nov. 1 through March. “In November we averaged 23 guests a night and the same in

December,� she said. That is about 10 per cent higher than the 21-client average in the same period in 2014.

The Salvation Army, which operates the New Hope Centre year-round, has noticed a similar trend. “Our shelter’s been running full —

we’re at over 100 per cent occupancy for a year now,� said Rob Anderson, Salvation Army Nanaimo community services director.

New Hope, which takes in overflow clients from First Unitarian, operated above capacity eight nights in December. “If they’re full, we’ll take overflow — we’ll throw some mats down and take overflow, rather than let someone stay outside,� Anderson said. “In December we took in 18 overflow.�

On eight nights, “we had a total of 18 people, and on the tenth of December it was five.�

Anderson said the Salvation Army noticed the increase “in the last year-and-a-half,� and said the Army wants to expand the number of beds it provides.

New Hope Centre offers 23 shelter beds for homeless men in a dorm-

style setting. Residents get access to three meals a day, a central washroom, shower and laundry facilities.

The last time a homeless count was done, an estimated 300 people lived on the street.

Besides two men’s and one women’s shelter, Nanaimo has three new supportive housing facilities, providing roughly 120 beds. Another 40 beds are planned for Dufferin Crescent and Boundary Avenue.

Nanaimo will be part of a national “point-in-time� homeless count initiated by the federal government.

The unique study would take in 30 communities.

In Nanaimo, the count happens Feb. 8.

The Department of National Defence is advising Nanaimo residents that a night-firing exercise will be carried out at the Nanaimo Military Rifle Range on Saturday.

The exercise, which will take place from 6 p.m. to midnight, is intended for local reservists and military members to conduct small-arms training and practice night-firing familiarization techniques.

A live-fire exercise is described as any military exercise in which a realistic scenario for the use of specific equipment is demonstrated.

Night-firing exercises are held at the rifle range, located off of Nanaimo Lakes Road in south Nanaimo, every few months.

The public is reminded trespassing into the area, particularly during a live-fire exercise, is prohibited. “In the unlikely event stray ammunition or explosive objects are encountered, do not pick up or keep objects as souvenirs and notify police immediately to arrange for disposal,� the department said in a press release.

â—† VANCOUVER ISLAND

Earthquake was result of a ‘slow slip’ over period of several weeks The 4.8 magnitude earthquake that was felt across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland last week was the result of a ‘slow slip’, or tremors that occur over a period of several weeks, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

According to the network, a ‘slow slip’ had been under Vancouver Island in the week leading up to the event, and may have played a role in the earthquake. ‘Slow’ earthquakes, which can release energy equivalent to a 7.0 magnitude tremor and last up to two weeks at a time, hit the Victoria and Nanaimo areas every 14 months, according to researchers.

Scientists have concluded that the phenomenon is the result of a silica-rich fluid found in deep sections of subduction zones.

As plates at the bottom of the ocean shift due to pressure and temperature fluctuations they release the fluid into rocks, allowing the plates to slip past one another in a process that can generate movement that typically lasts between 10 and 14 days.

When the shaking stops the 14-month process then begins again, ending with another slow quake.

The first slow earthquake was recorded on Vancouver Island 14 years ago.

Mudge Island your best bet to find cheap home Cottage on a half-acre plot will set you back $69,900 SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

C

an’t afford a house over $200,000 in and around Nanaimo? Your list of options is not as long as you might think.

According to Realtor.ca, an aggregate real estate listings service, prospective homebuyers on a tight budget have even fewer options in the city.

But those willing to look a little further away may be able to snatch up a deal.

Mudge Island is currently home to the lowest-priced home in the region: a 192-square foot cottage on a plot of land just under half an acre at 641 Weathers Way, which can be picked up for a song at $69,900. A community well is nearby.

For a few thousand more, buyers can pick up a small wooden cabin on Mudge, a 450-square foot retreat a short boat ride away from Gabriola Island.

That property is listed at $104,900 and is located at 392 Halibut Hill Rd. Nearby on Gabriola resides the third-cheapest home: a $139,000 house with a less-than half-acre lot, with vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, wood floors, a fresh coat of paint, and a new front deck, plus an 8,000-litre cistern under the house, located at 700 Rollo Rd. Realtor.ca lists only nine homes for less than $200,000, only one of which is in Nanaimo proper: a $174,900, four-bedroom, two-bath home located at 1806 Cedar Rd. Real estate agent Kent Knelson is listing the property and said he has received significant interest from buyers, particularly from people on

Gun-toting bandit robs woman at ATM A man with a gun robbed a woman at an automated teller downtown on Wednesday evening.

Nanaimo RCMP are investigating an armed robbery at the ATM outside the TD Canada Trust in Port Place Shopping Centre.

A man with a black handgun approached a woman while she withdrew cash from the machine in the mall parking lot at approximately 9:30 p.m.

A black ski mask hid the man’s face.

After demanding her cash, he ran off across the parking lot.

Officers responded with police dogs, but the dogs lost the scent in the Promenade Drive area, off Front Street.

Police are looking for a white, overweight man, approximately five foot seven.

He wore dark, baggy clothing, a red basketball jersey with a dark-coloured winter jacket with a fur collar.

OUR VIEW

There is another human being living under the bridge A man lives under Nanaimo’s Pearson bridge.

His presence has evoked outrage in some quarters from people afraid for their safety and angry that nothing has been done to remove him from that spot.

Our question is simple: why fear?

Why fear when empathy and understanding is not only a more gracious response, but it may also be more effective?

Why punish those living on the margins for making us uncomfortable about their existence when we could instead make their existence more comfortable?

Outraged at the poverty he saw on the streets of St. Petersburg, Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy made a habit of distributing his fortune to the city’s poor. In his classic essay What Then

Must Be Done? he came to following conclusions: “Surely this is simple enough. If I want to help the poor, that is, to make the poor no longer poor, I must not produce poor people.

“I sit on a man’s back choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am sorry for him and wish to lighten his load by all means possible . . . except by getting off his back.”

Why are we getting on the backs of people already carrying such a heavy load?

We know addiction and mental health issues are common in this segment of our community. And we realize that human nature is to run from such conditions.

We also understand that a man living under a bridge is far more vul-

nerable, far more likely to be a victim of a crime than anyone walking past a man living under a bridge.

Demonizing the homeless, or pushing the issue out of the public eye, is not going to be a salve for anything other than our fear.

Poverty may at times be fed by poor decisions, but it is not a choice in and of itself, nor a crime.

Whatever bluster he may project to the outside world, a man living under a bridge is not proud of his situation, nor lacking awareness of what it means.

Hurled insults from people passing by on their way to their comfortable couches is not going to improve that situation, nor the way he feels.

He is more worthy of our help than our scorn.

At last count, Nanaimo was home

to about 300 homeless. Yes, we are aware of the irony implicit in that sentence. It is there to emphasize that, for some, the public spaces of our community are the best homes available.

No one wants to be homeless, but circumstances sometimes put people in a place where it seems to be the best choice for them at a particular point in time. One such man is Eric Christiansen, the man living under the Pearson bridge.

Christiansen says his choice is not hurting the community in any way, shape or form. In fact, the only reason his situation is an issue at all is because of the misconceptions of other people.

In simple terms, he wants others to treat him as another human being, “whatever that means.”

To us, it means the comfort of knowing there is food and warmth available from his community when he needs it, along with counselling and a hand up when he is ready to take it.

It means the dignity and freedom of making his own choices so long as he is not infringing on the dignity and choices of others.

It means a warm smile or a warm pair of socks.

A man lives under the Pearson Street Bridge.

Not an eyesore, not a threat, not a troll. A man.

Perhaps the only thing we need to “do” is treat him as such.

ritics don’t have to look far for evidence of its — and our — failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a whole host of other negative attributes, including greed, envy, paranoia and racism.

It may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it reflects, just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with.

Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat, but really it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it.

And many of those individuals are good, basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty; whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist.

Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit — evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology.

Take the case of a father and daughter from Saskatoon en route to Victoria who lost almost all their belongings when someone stole their rented U-Haul truck and trailer in

South Surrey just before New Year’s Eve. When their plight was posted on social media, many responded positively by sharing the post. They felt for the family in its predicament and identified with how it would feel to lose everything in the middle of a momentous, and no doubt stressful, household move.

Mainstream media took notice,

circulating the appeal for information on the missing truck and trailer both in print and on the airwaves.

And good came of all the attention.

An Abbotsford resident noticed a U-Haul truck apparently abandoned in a parking lot and called police.

It turned out to be the missing truck, and while most of the family’s possessions were gone, some irreplaceable photos and other

mementos, including urns of family members, were recovered.

It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social media – particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.

COURTS

Charges 16 years after alleged sex assault A 21-year-old woman was leaving a large outdoor party in Abbotsford in August 1999 and walking to her car when she was sexually assaulted, choked and threatened with death by an unknown man.

Now, 16 years later, the alleged assailant has been charged.

James Allen Redden, 48, of Vancouver Island has been charged with sexual assault, unlawful confinement and uttering threats.

Redden is next scheduled to appear

Feb. 4 in provincial court in Abbotsford.

Const. Ian MacDonald said evidence was gathered following the attack in the 37200 block of Ward Road, but the case remained unsolved until December 2013.

At that time, the Abbotsford Police Department’s major crime unit sent previously seized clothing evidence for DNA analysis.

In early 2014, a DNA profile was discovered and a suspect was identified.

MacDonald said, before then, there

was no match because the suspect was not in the DNA database.

He said it then took some additional time for police to gather further evidence to back up their case, leading to the charges being laid against Redden on Dec. 17, 2015.

MacDonald credited the arrest to the “extraordinary bravery” of the victim, now 37, and her “strength and perseverance” in working with investigators.

In 2008, Redden was acquitted of sexual assault with a weapon and uttering threats from an incident

that occurred in Nanaimo in November 1995.

The alleged victim in that case testified that she had been walking along the road when she was attacked from behind, taken into a ditch, raped and threatened with death.

She was not able to identify her attacker.

Redden was arrested and charged with the attack in 2007, but was acquitted at trial when the judge said the evidence heard at trial didn’t establish beyond a reasonable doubt

that Redden was guilty.

The complainant had been a resident of a local hotel, where Redden testified he often went for casual sex with women.

Semen found on a jacket belonging to the complainant was determined to be Redden’s, but his lawyer argued that the semen was transferred there when the woman picked up clothing at the motel belonging to another resident.

Nanaimo opposition MLA and attorney general critic Leonard Krog says it is “a bit cheeky” for former B.C. Liberal executive director Laura Miller to seek donations for legal fees after her party cut legal aid in the province by 40 per cent in 2002.

Miller, also the former deputy chief of staff to former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty, faces charges of breach of trust, mischief, and misuse of a computer system.

The charges relate to an ongoing investigation of the destruction of documents regarding the Ontario government’s decision to cancel the construction of two gas plants in the province before the 2011 election.

The decision cost taxpayers $1.1 billion, the auditor general says.

Miller and McGuinty’s former chief of staff, David Livingston, are accused of deleting thousands of government emails relating to the cancellation of the gas plants. Miller resigned from the B.C. Liberal Party in December to mount a defence against the charges, which she has vigorously denied. None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Miller has taken to crowdsourcing website FundRazr.com to help cover legal fees. According to the page, supporters have donated $35,506 towards a target of $100,000.

Krog said that kind of support is out of reach for low-income people in B.C. called to court.

Krog said the B.C. government has been raising legal fees “modestly” since 2001.

“But if you honestly think you can cut an absolutely vital social program by 40 per cent and nearly 15 years down the road still not have the same dollar amount going in as you did back then, and say that everything’s fine, doesn’t wash,” Krog said.

“So that’s why I find it particularly cheeky . . . for (Miller) to be asking friends to defend her of an allegation of a criminal offence when they cut the budget to the very organization that is there to provide legal advice and assistance to the poorest of the poor.”

Residents of Nanoose Bay have had noisy visitors this week as a large number of both steller and California sea lions have converged in the area.

Waterfront property owner John Garenkooper said the sea lions began showing up in the bay last week.

He said that while it’s not unusual to see sea lions in the bay at this time of year, they appear to be in much larger numbers than usual.

Garenkooper suspects they are in the bay hunting for herring, one of the sea lions’ main dietary staples.

“I just love having them here, even if they are a bit noisy all day and night,” he said.

“I think it’s beautiful music and it’s a blessing to hear.”

The growing number of both sea lions and herring in the Strait of Georgia have combined to create the natural spectacle.

Jaclyn Cleary, a fish biologist at Nanaimo’s Pacific Biological Station, said that although the herring roe fishery doesn’t usually begin until later in the winter or early spring, herring start entering the Strait of Georgia in early October.

She said that this year, stock assessments of the herring biomass in the strait indicate that it could be at historical levels.

Cleary said the seine herring fishers in the strait who began fishing their quotas in November have indicated they are in “substantial numbers,” so sea lions are having a bountiful year.

She said that herring stocks in the strait have been increasing steadily

since 2010 and it’s likely the result of favourable ocean conditions and good food supplies.

Dave Rosen, a marine mammal researcher at UBC, said the number of sea lions in the area have also been increasing in the strait for the last 10 years due to the high numbers of

herring and other species they feed on.

“There are now tens of thousands of sea lions along the coast,” he said.

Stolen pickup may be part of series of thefts CANDACE WU PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

A beige 2003 Ford F250 pickup truck was stolen from a home along the 700-block of Barclay Crescent in French Creek Monday night at approximately 7:30 p.m., police confirmed.

According to Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Forman, the owner of the

stolen vehicle has accounted for both sets of keys leading police to believe the suspect tampered with the ignition to steal the truck.

Foreman said Monday’s brazen theft appears to be part of a string of stolen vehicles plaguing Parksville Qualicum Beach and the surrounding rural areas over the last few weeks.

He said two thefts of Ford F250 or

F350s were reported over the holidays and another one was recovered from another area where it had been stolen.

This follows a rash of vehicle thefts last summer where four Fords were stolen. He said it appears the suspect(s) are specifically targeting Ford F250 and Ford F350 trucks in model years ranging from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

“Normally vehicle thieves have a brand of choice,” Foreman told said.

He said police currently do not have any suspects. An investigation is ongoing. » We want to hear from you.

The 87-year-old doesn’t think crafting new laws would be too hard.

“I don’t know why (the delay),” said Martin, who suffers from spinal degeneration and has advocated for medically-assisted death for more than 50 years. “I could write it (new legislation) in a day, even the legal part of it.”

RCMP deal with rash of New Year break-ins Comox Valley RCMP hope a rash of break-ins that accompanied the New Year is over as soon as it began.

A suspect has been arrested after numerous businesses and residences were broken into and a varity of items stolen.

“The investigation by the general duty members, who responded to the initial calls, and the Comox Valley Forensics Identification section, quickly revealed a particular pattern and a suspect was soon being sought,” an RCMP media release stated.

“On Jan. 5, the Comox Valley RCMP received a report of fraudulent use of a credit card. This investigation led to the same suspect from the breakand-enters, and thefts being tracked down.”

Officers including the police dog squad contained an area where the suspect was thought to be and after a foot chase, the suspect was apprehended.

Justin Whitter, who was also wanted on four warrants and bound to court imposed conditions, is now facing nine charges including theft, possession of stolen property, fraudulent use of a credit card, resisting arrest and breach of a recognizance.

Man arrested after disturbance at home A Sooke man was arrested last week after an altercation with Mounties as police responded to a disturbance on Townsend Road.

The man, as well as a Sooke RCMP officer, sustained minor injuries and pepper spray contamination during the arrest attempt.

Police responded to the home after a call was made of a disturbance in the area. Upon arriving, the suspect became aggressive and told the officers to leave. The officers then attempted to arrest the suspect, who became combative. The suspect, a 32-year-old Sooke resident, is facing charges of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.

In February of 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Canadians with unbearable suffering should be allowed to end their lives with the aid of a physician and it gave Parliament one year to enact new laws. In December of 2015, the new Liberal government, through Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould (MP for Vancouver-Granville), asked the high court for a six-month extension.

“A comprehensive response to the court’s judgment raises important and complex issues which require extensive work by Parliament and provincial legislatures, and can not

reasonably be completed before Feb. 6, 2016,” said the 73-page document filed with the court by the A-G. “That’s terrible,” said Martin. “If they get the six months, it shows they don’t care.” Martin said, if legalized, he would “absolutely” consider using medically assisted death sometime in the future.

A poll conducted in 2014 by Dying With Dignity suggests 84 per cent of Canadians support the idea of medically assisted death for terminally ill patients in from unbearable pain.

The Ipsos-Reid survey was based on a sample size of 2,500 Canadians.

Wilson-Raybould said that while

it is true that an extension of the suspension will mean that some Canadians will have to wait to access physician-assisted dying, it is necessary and responsible to ensure that sufficient protections are in place across the entire country.

“Physician-assisted dying is a complex and deeply personal issue for Canadians of all ages and backgrounds,” Wilson-Raybould said Dec. 3, 2015. “The federal government’s response will affect all of society. That is why we are firmly committed to including Canadians and taking the time to develop a thoughtful, sensitive, and well-in-

formed response. We recognize both a person’s right to make fundamental decisions about his or her life and the need to protect those who are vulnerable.”

Statistics Canada shows Parksville’s median age is 58.2, while Qualicum Beach’s median age is 63.9, making the latter notorious for being the oldest community in Canada.

Parksville’s Martin was asked this week how he was doing since he last asked about 14 months ago.

Small-town business owner will soon see results of his work on the big screen MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Keith Plamondon keeps himself busy making signs for local businesses, screen printing logos onto shirts and hats and making automotive decals.

Last year, however, this small-town small business owner hit the big leagues — and will soon be hitting the big screen — when he brought his small crew along to wrap two massive helicopters in vinyl for two different big-time Hollywood productions.

The call came from Coulson Aviation out of Port Alberni. They had leased one of their Sikorsky helicopters, similar to the kind you see the President of the United States stepping out of, to 21st Century Fox for use in a film. Unfortunately for Coulson — but fortunately for Plamondon and his team at Epic Design Studio — Fox needed a black helicopter, and Coulson didn’t have one.

But they could make one.

While calling around for quotes, Coulson found there was a list of 3M Certified vinyl wrap installers, one of which lived right here on Vancouver Island.

“It was a crazy call when it first came in,” Plamondon says. “We were, like, ‘is this really going to happen?’

They just said, ‘We need you to wrap a helicopter,’” he laughs. “We didn’t know what it was for, or why they were doing it.”

Plamondon says Coulson needed an installer who was as close as possible, “because they were under a major time crunch. He called us on a Wednesday, and wanted us to be there that night to get started. And I was, like, ‘What!?’”

But it was an opportunity of a lifetime, so he closed up shop for a few days and talked his crew into working a bit of overtime to come along to get the job done. The first helicopter they did took five days with four staff working 12 hours a day.

“We were blown away when we got down there and saw it. I was, like, this is going to take forever.Have you ever been close to a helicopter?

There’s a hell of a lot of rivets on a helicopter.”

Plamondon is under strict non-disclosure conditions.

The second job they did, however, he can officially talk about. On Dec. 28, when the trailer showing his team’s work in Marvel’s Deadpool was released, the gag order was rescinded.

So why, exactly, are they wrapping helicopters in vinyl to get them the colour they want?

“Well, usually they would just paint these things with studio paint,” Plamondon says, “but what they said was that the issue is the cleanup work afterwards.

“I can just imagine the hassle of getting all that paint off. With something like this, you just heat it up and start peeling it away.

“It’s a lot quicker and a lot more economical.”

Allegedly abducted children found, not freed COMOX VALLEY RECORD

A new year brings a bit more information for a Comox Valley mother whose children were allegedly abducted by their father last summer.

“Government (Canadian and Kurdistan Regional Government) efforts are now underway to recover the children, but Saren is refusing to release them. Alison is now counting on the Canadian government to support her.”

Alison Azer posted on social media

“They are being held in a guarded compound. It is very cold now, especially where they are, and there is no central heating. They are not schooled and have no other children nearby,” she wrote.

Woman with guide dog can’t find employment However, it doesn’t include anything about employment rights, which falls under employment standards.

“Probably in most cases, it’s prudent just in case your future employer has to make accommodations, or if someone has allergies, so they can accommodate both persons,” said William Thornton, CEO and co-founder of the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs.

Thornton was saddened to hear of Hawkins’ case, saying it’s not the first time he’s heard of highly capable people unable to secure appropriate work because of a condition or disability.

Ideally, Hawkins would like to work in the arts field, consistent with her education. However, she’s happy to work in an administration type role for its stability.

“As soon as I am labelled as ‘disabled’ with my guide dog, my ability to work is called into question regardless of what is on my resume and my successful employment and academic history,” she wrote in a letter to Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Michelle Stilwell.

“If it were my choice, I would prefer to focus on my qualifications and education rather than the breed of my dog guide . . . many individuals continue to be uneducated about the programs and the lack of education continues to negatively affect handlers’ daily life.

“I can only hope that more measures are put into place to further epilepsy research and educate the public.”

wo years removed from completing a masters of arts, Tessa Hawkins is still seeking permanent employment.

In her experience, landing an interview hasn’t been a problem. She’s had well over a dozen since 2013.

But the job offers are few and far between.

The Saanich resident has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Victoria and a masters from the University of Alberta. She also has epilepsy, and because she suffers from seizures, is accompanied full time by a working dog.

Because she brings the dog to interviews, she finds she is unfairly discriminated against. Just last month, a Victoria business employee told Hawkins “they didn’t have room for pets,” and removed her from the competition. Though the company later apologized and re-inserted her to the competition, it doesn’t matter, Hawkins said.

Naturally, Hawkins felt obligated to tell employers about the dog but has since become very sensitive to the fact that it’s personal medical information she’d prefer not to share with a “virtual stranger.” Unfortunately it’s a catch-22 situation, she says. “Whether I say something or not there are negative consequences.

If you withhold the dog . . . get the job, and inform them after, you won’t start out on a good note with your employer.”

Compare that to a heart condition, she says.

sign that says you have a heart condition, but you happen to find out that I have epilepsy because the dog says I have epilepsy,” Hawkins said.

“My medical bracelet also says it, but I don’t walk into a room saying ‘I’m Tessa, I have epilepsy.’”

Hawkins attended about 14 interviews between 2013 and 2014 with her since retired guide dog Kash, she said. Following one of them, she was informed by a friend on the interview panel that her guide dog was in fact a deciding factor in the final decision.

It’s illegal, as the dog is permitted

by law to accompany her everywhere, but following up with action is stressful. It’s also disheartening to take action, especially if the outcome is to get a job somewhere she no longer wishes to work.

Out of frustration, Hawkins left the dog at home for her next interviews.

Early last year she was offered two jobs over a three-day period. She accepted one, a temporary placement at Craigdarroch Castle. The dog was a welcome surprise with staff but the contract has now ended.

Now she’s on the job hunt again, and would like the dog to be

Protesters dig in; ready for arrests Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implored to intervene to stop B.C. hydroelectric project KEVEN DREWS THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — First Nations protesting the construction of the $9-billion Site C dam in northeastern British Columbia are preparing for their own arrests while they implore Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intervene to stop the hydroelectric project.

Helen Knott of the Prophet River First Nation said in an interview from the protest site that she and six other demonstrators are camped at Rocky Mountain Fort, the former site of a North West Company fur-trading post established in 1794 on the west side of the Moberly River, near Fort St. John.

RCMP said they arrested three protesters on Wednesday who had been blocking an access road needed

by BC Hydro crews to begin work on the dam, the third on the Peace River. The dam will create an 83-kilometre-long reservoir and flood the area where the protesters are camping.

BC Hydro and Power Authority have issued an eviction notice, warning protesters that all contents of the camp set up on Dec. 31 will be removed and delivered to the RCMP. Knott said the protesters are hunkering down and weathering snow and temperatures as low as -20 C, awaiting the possibility of arrest.

“It’s not necessarily anybody goes into it with that idea, like, yeah,

Helen Knott, shown in this undated handout photo, a member of the northeastern British Columbia’s Prophet River First Nation, is among those protesting the construction of the $9-billion Site C hydroelectric project. [HEATHER KNOTT FOR CP]

we’re going to be arrested, right?

It’s that, yeah, we’re committed to saving this tract of land and to, you know, actively use our treaty rights here,” she said.

Knott said she would rather not be arrested but is willing to be at the camp and take a stand on an issue in which she believes.

Site C spokesman David Conway said the protest is affecting a small clearing area but all other construction work on the project continues.

The utility hopes to resolve the situation through ongoing discussions with protesters and local authorities in order to resume construction, he said.

“BC Hydro respects the right of all individuals to peacefully protest and express their opinions about Site C in a safe and lawful manner,” he said in an email. “Our immediate concern is to ensure the safety of both Site C workers and the protesters.”

Several First Nations and local residents have filed legal challenges

over the dam, raising concerns about flooding and the impact the lake will create.

Art Napoleon of the Saulteau First Nation said in a phone interview from Victoria that the lake will flood the historic site and other sacred areas.

“That whole area was a culturally significant area for us, for hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering, a lot of history, all of our history, so that’s our cultural institution and it’s being raped, and it’s still not enough,” he said, adding he hopes Trudeau can get involved. Well, I don’t know what exactly he can do but it’s worth a shot, isn’t it?” said Napoleon.

He said protesters think smaller dams and maybe even underwater dams with turbines are alternatives.

Peace River Valley resident Verena Hofmann said earlier this week that critics of the dam have asked Trudeau to reassess the environmental approval that was granted by the former federal Conservative government.

The protest camp is in a remote area. Knott said once protesters leave the main highway, they must drive on rough, secondary roads for 90 minutes to two hours before making another seven-kilometre trip by foot or snowmobile.

BC Hydro announced in December it would spend $1.75 billion to build the earthen dam, foundation, two diversion tunnels and spillways.

Company to pay $56K penalty for blast that injured workers

Allegations care worker swapped drugs for sex NEIL CORBETT MAPLE RIDGE NEWS

FLAVIO NIENOW BLACK PRESS

WorkSafeBC has completed its investigation into the incident at the Pinnacle Pellet plant in Burns Lake.

On Oct. 9, 2014, during maintenance shutdown at the wood pellet plant, three workers were standing at the opening of a burner door when an explosion occurred in the dryer system. The three workers were knocked backwards by the force of the explosion and suffered burn injuries.

WorkSafeBC has issued five orders to improve safety in the workplace, and Pinnacle Pellet was ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $55,989.

Leroy Reitsma, president of Pinnacle Renewable Energy, said the Burns Lake plant has made great strides in the past year in advancing a culture of “owning safety.”

“All of our employees, contractors and management are proud of the

work that has been done, and continues to be done, to create and continuously improve the safety of our work environment,” said Reitsma.

“The 2014 event brought to light a previously unknown risk associated with the use of rotary dryers that we have used as a catalyst to create positive change across our organization.”

“While we are respectful of WorkSafeBC’s decision, we are proud of the progress we have made on safety and are appreciative of the efforts that all employees and contractors have made to achieve better results,” added Reitsma.

According to WorkSafeBC, there were grounds for imposing an administrative penalty because the employer “has failed to take sufficient precautions for the prevention of work related injuries or illnesses.”

According to the incident investigation report, the accumulation of flammable gases was the main cause of the explosion.

“An accumulation of flammable gases in a contained dryer system was exposed to high temperatures and oxygen, leading to an explosion,” says the report.

“A fire or hot spot was present in the system, and with the burner door open, an in-rush of oxygen occurred, resulting in an explosion that injured three workers.”

The WorkSafeBC report also says one of the underlying factors of the explosion included not following procedures to permit adequate cooling time.

“Pinnacle’s written procedure for burner cleanout was not followed.

The combustion air fan was turned off before the burner outlet cooled to 80 C. “Also, the burner manufacturer’s instructions were not followed; the instructions require the combustion air fan to remain on for three hours before the burner door is opened,” says the report.

Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating allegations that an employee of the Fraser Health Authority has been involved in a drugs-for-sex exchange with a teenage girl from Maple Ridge.

A police spokesman said the investigation is in its early stages, after police received a complaint last week.

The allegations are that a health care worker exploited a 17-year-old girl from Maple Ridge, as he gave her prescription drugs that she was addicted to, in exchange for sex.

The pair met through a Craigslist ad.

The man is alleged to have said he worked at Royal Columbian Hospital, and could get the pharmaceuticals the teen wanted.

A Ridge Meadows RCMP spokesman said the investigation will determine whether drugs have been stolen from Royal Columbian Hospital.

The New Westminster Police Department is also involved.

Police will also investigate the relationship between the teen and the alleged hospital worker, and whether it was coercive or exploitative. The age of consent for sexual activity is 16 years.

However, the age of consent is considered 18 years where the sexual activity exploits the young person — such as when it involves prostitution, pornography or a person in authority.

Fraser Health spokeswoman Tasleem Juma confirmed that the health authority is involved in an RCMP investigation into the matter, but would not confirm that a Fraser Health employee has been identified as a suspect.

“As this is an active RCMP investigation, we can’t elaborate on any details or individuals involved, but are fully co-operating with the RCMP regarding this case,” said Juma.

Conduct hearing for officer is rescheduled The RCMP Code of Conduct hearing for an officer suspended with pay has been rescheduled after it was cancelled twice.

Const. Amit Goyal, who has been suspended with pay from the RCMP since 2013, is scheduled for a Code of Conduct hearing in Vancouver on March 8, 2016 with the location “to be determined” according to the RCMP website.

Annie Delisle, media relations officer with the RCMP, told the Western

News in October that “Const. Amit Goyal’s matter is a legacy case that is governed under the former discipline process that was in place prior to Nov. 28, 2014.”

Delisle also said in October that the RCMP’s former discipline process was “taking too long to resolve matters and options available for addressing misconduct were too limited.”

An investigation by the Trail RCMP detachment resulted in criminal charges being recommended against Goyal in 2013, but they were never pursued.

Goyal is also facing a lawsuit from former Osoyoos resident Steve Condon, who said he was forced to leave town and alleges he was framed

This is very serious for a pilot, especially during critical flight phases such as landings, takeoffs, and emergency maneuvers. Laser beams should never be pointed towards an aircraft.

It is not even a good idea to point them at a star, since a slow moving far away airplane could look like a star.

ALBERTA

Province can shred with impunity: Watchdog DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Government watchdogs say there is confusion, contradictions, no oversight, and no control over what documents get shredded at the Alberta government — and there are no penalties for rule-breakers.

“Everything is obscure. Nothing is clear,” Information and Privacy Commissioner Jill Clayton told a news conference Thursday.

“The easy application (of the rules) is lost in this maze of (document) retention schedules and rules.

“We had a strong sense that staff don’t really understand how to apply them.”

Clayton and Public Interest Commissioner Peter Hourihan issued a report following an investigation that

NOTLEY

was launched last year into reports that documents were being shredded by officials in the Environment Department around the time the Progressive Conservative government lost the election to Rachel Notley and the NDP.

The department was run at the time by Tory Kyle Fawcett, who was defeated in the May 5 vote.

Clayton said investigators didn’t interview Fawcett because they did not consider his information relevant given that it was his officials who were responsible for handling the documents.

The investigation found that 344 boxes of high-level material and ministerial correspondence were improperly shredded in the days just before and following the election.

The report said investigators could not find an order to wrongly destroy the documents, but there was confusion and conflicting policies over what could be shredded and why.

As the watchdogs dug deeper, they found the problems extended far beyond the Environment Depart-

ment to encompass the entire government.

The report said that Service Alberta, the department responsible for rules about shredding, doesn’t monitor what happens.

Some Service Alberta officials described to investigators a “dog’s breakfast” of confusing and contradictory regulations. Some staffers characterized management of the system as “a huge hole.”

The report quoted senior records officials in departments complaining that they were held responsible when problems arose, but had no budget, mandate, or authority to get things done.

On top of that, it noted, there are no sanctions for those who break the rules.

Clayton said a system with no

sanctions for non-compliance is a non-starter.

“There needs to be some sanctions,” she said.

“The overriding issue that we’re seeing with this records management program is that there’s a lack of support, there’s a lack of monitoring, and there are no consequences.”

Service Alberta Minister Danielle Larivee said in a statement that they are looking into implementing the report’s recommendations to improve the system and make it more accountable.

“It’s clear that there were a number of problems with record keeping under the previous government,” said Larivee.

“The recommendations in this report help us identify some specific ways to improve.”

FOREIGN POLICY

Strengthen Saudi ties, Liberals told Trudeau has also been advised to anticipate the easing of possible sanctions against Iran in coming months MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Federal officials have told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that Canada’s strategic interest would be well served by strengthening economic ties with oil-rich Saudi Arabia because of its powerful position in the Persian Gulf.

That advice sheds light on why the Liberals are rejecting calls to cancel a $15-billion sale of armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia following its execution last weekend of 47 people, including a prominent Shiite cleric.

Trudeau has also been advised to anticipate the easing of possible sanctions against Iran in the coming months if progress is made on implementing last year’s landmark nuclear agreement between Tehran and six countries, including the United States — a prospect that seemed imminent on Thursday.

The assessments are contained in Trudeau’s briefing book, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press under Access to Information.

The execution of Sheik Nimr al-Nimr has sparked tension between mainly Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran and heightened fears of direct conflict between the two countries. Canada’s interests in the tumultuous region are spelled out in the briefings prepared for Trudeau, who faces calls to cancel the lucrative sale of light armoured vehicles by an Ontario company.

“Further deepening of strategic relations with the Gulf Co-operation Council countries would serve Canadian commercial and possibly security interests,” the memo states, pointing to Saudi Arabia as the leading player in the six-country

bloc that includes the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.

“Current bilateral engagement includes a particular focus on Saudi Arabia and the UAE,” it says. “Saudi Arabia is a regional power, the only Arab country in the G20. It is a key contributor to global energy security and Canada’s largest trading partner in the region.”

The memo says there are trade and investment opportunities for Canada in the Gulf region because its economies are “diversifying into areas of Canadian strength, including financial, education, health care services, agriculture, as well as infrastructure.”

The censored version of the memo makes no mention of human rights, including the case of imprisoned Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, whose wife now lives in Quebec.

But a section on how Canada can support “gradual, consensual political and social reforms” in the region is almost entirely blacked out.

In December, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion met his Saudi counterpart and urged clemency for Badawi, who has been sentenced to a thousand lashes and 10 years in jail for his criticism of Saudi clerics.

Days ago, Dion called on the Saudi Arabian government to “protect human rights, respect peaceful

expressions of dissent and ensure fairness in judicial proceedings” following the 47 executions.

Alex Neve, the head of Amnesty International Canada, said Dion’s comment was, “a bit out of the ordinary in terms of how willing previous governments have been to speak out about human rights concerns in Saudi Arabia. Now what we need to see is that that be matched by some serious human rights focus to the arms deal.”

A spokesman for Dion said the arms deal between the Saudis and General Dynamics Land Systems Canada would not be cancelled because it has the proper export permit.

Canada’s export-control regime is

“carefully reviewed and that human rights considerations are seriously taken into account before a permit is issued,” said Adam Barratt.

During the recent federal election campaign, former prime minister Stephen Harper and Trudeau both backed the deal.

Dion also said last weekend that Canada is concerned the execution of Sheik al-Nimr could “further inflame” sectarian tensions in the region.

Fen Hampson, an international security expert with Canada’s Centre for International Governance Innovation, said the rupture of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the two dominant Islamic powers in the region, could escalate to direct military confrontation beyond the current proxy wars they are fighting in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

“It does not augur well for the region’s political stability, which has been exacerbated by deep-rooted Saudi concerns about the implementation of the nuclear agreement with Tehran,” he said.

On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Iran could be days away from fulfilling its end of that deal, which compels Tehran to scale back technology that could be used to make a nuclear weapon.

If that occurs, western countries, including Canada, would be compelled to lift United Nations sanctions against Iran.

“Canada will have to withdraw or modify the UN Iran Regulations . . . as early as winter 2016 and as late as summer 2016,” says Trudeau’s briefing book.

Trudeau has pledged to reopen Canada’s embassy in Iran.

Dad guilty in daughter’s killing COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A father accused of starving or drowning his teenaged daughter two decades ago was convicted of first-degree murder on Thursday after weeks of graphic and disturbing testimony about the horrific abuse she suffered before she died.

Jurors took about four hours to find an impassive Everton Biddersingh guilty in the death of 17-yearold Melonie Biddersingh, which carries a mandatory life sentence without parole for 25 years. “I certainly hope Melonie can rest

more peaceful tonight,� said Toronto Det.-Sgt. Steve Ryan shortly after the decision.

Superior Court Justice Al O’Marra had sent the jurors to deliberate after concluding a charge he had started a day earlier by outlining prosecution and defence positions.

The Crown maintained Biddersingh, 60, drowned or starved his daughter after a period of prolonged abuse, or that she died while her father unlawfully confined her in the small Toronto apartment they shared with her stepmother, Elaine Biddersingh. “They treated Melonie like a

Canadian design will aid space station upkeep SIDHARTHA BANERJEE THE CANADIAN PRESS

LONGUEUIL, Que. — Canada is investing in a new tool for the International Space Station that will help astronauts take a closer look at the many dings and dents all over its hull.

The federal government announced Thursday that a $1.7-million design contract has been awarded to an Ottawa firm to develop the monitoring system made up of lasers and cutting-edge cameras.

The end product will be roughly the size of a microwave oven and will be mounted to Dextre, the Canadian-made robotic handyman, to help look for any damage on the aging ISS. “We’re constantly getting bombarded by micro-meteorites on the International Space Station, so this is a risk to astronauts,� said Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who was among those attending the announcement at the Canadian Space Agency headquarters near Montreal. “This will allow us to inspect the space station and look for potential issues where we may have to go out and do repairs.�

Divots in the station caused by the debris can cut into astronauts’ gloves.

Hansen noted the space station celebrated 15 years of continuous human presence in November but that the first pieces were launched into orbit in 1998.

The station’s life has been extended until at least 2024. “It’s going to be more and more important to be able to survey the entire space station, a capability we don’t currently have,� Hansen said.

The design contract has been awarded to Ottawa-based Neptec, with the sophisticated technology expected to be launched in 2020.

The vision system will be comprised of three sensors — a 3D laser and two

cameras, one high-definition and one infrared — and will be completely controlled from Earth. It will save on valuable crew time by reducing the number of spacewalks needed to survey damage.

Stephane Ruel, vice-president of innovation at Neptec, said some of the technology has been in development for a decade, while the high-resolution cameras, craft-tracking capabilities and thermal cameras have long-term use in space exploration. “This is fairly state of the art and when you look at the capabilities that will be in this box, it provides capabilities that we know are going to be needed if you’re going to the moon, Mars or asteroids, so it will be useful,�

Ruel said.

Navdeep Bains, the federal minister for innovation, science and economic development, said the technology can be useful on Earth, in areas such as mining, undersea gas and oil infrastructure and self-driving vehicles. “Like most space innovations, this technology may be used for missions we haven’t even imagined yet,â€? Bains said. “Perhaps on missions to future destinations like the moon, or even Mars.â€? Âť We want to hear from you.

The teen’s charred remains were found stuffed in a suitcase in an isolated industrial area. By the time of her death, she weighed 50 pounds and had 21 broken bones. A vegetable was found in her vagina.

Given the circumstantial nature of the case, the prosecution relied heavily on the testimony of Biddersingh’s wife, an “angry, dishonest religious fanatic,� O’Marra said in citing the defence position.

Exempt your child from the FSA Dear parents, We work hard to give your children the best education possible. We celebrate with them when they master a new concept and help them think creatively when tackling a tricky problem.

But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away from those wonderful moments of learning.

The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless stress for students, are expensive, and the muchdelayed results do not actively support your child’s progress.

The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of to students’ interests and needs.

That’s why teachers in Nanaimo recommend you send a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.

Keystone challenge may break U.S. NAFTA streak CALGARY — As TransCanada prepares to launch a trade challenge over the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, the U.S. track record in similar disputes may not appear very encouraging for the Calgary-based company.

TransCanada itself acknowledges that the U.S. has never lost a claim under the North American Free Trade Agreement, but has decided it’s the right move after a “careful evaluation.”

Experts say the U.S. winning streak is no reason to discount TransCanada’s chances.

TransCanada has given notice that it intends to seek US$15 billion in damages over President Barack Obama’s rejection of the pipeline in November. Separately, it has filed a federal lawsuit in Houston that seeks a declaration that Obama overstepped his constitutional power when he denied the permit.

Jim Rubin, a partner at law firm Dorsey & Whitney based in Washington, D.C., said he wouldn’t read to much into past U.S. wins when predicting how a TransCanada case may play out.

One reason is that, unlike a typical court case, NAFTA arbitration tribunals are not bound to follow precedents set in past cases.

“It’s a really different creature,” said Rubin. “If they have a strong case, they have a strong case.”

Although there’s no formal requirement to follow precedents, past cases will likely be highlighted as a means to persuade a tribunal.

A recent case involving a U.S. company’s attempt to expand a quarry in Nova Scotia may work in TransCanada’s favour, said Nicolas Lamp, an assistant professor with Queen’s University’s faculty of law.

The rate is five per cent, the same as the federal GST. Chief Louis Taypotat says it’s hoped the funds generated by the fee will benefit the community and band members.

The tax started being applied on Dec. 11.

TransCanada has a “good shot” if the Bilcon case is taken into account,“ said Lamp.

“If the arbitration tribunal were to follow that precedent of the Bilcon case, I think it’s quite likely that they will find against the U.S.” Lamp said there are stark similarities between the Bilcon case and the Keystone XL saga — namely, that each company expected the regulatory process to unfold in one

In the case of Keystone XL, the goalposts had to do with Obama making the pipeline’s broader implications for climate change a key test for whether to approve it.

Guy Holburn, who directs the Ivey Energy Policy and Management Centre at Western University, said TransCanada has a strong case based on how differently it was treated when it built the first phase of its Keystone system. The XL segment would have provided a more direct route for more oilsands crude to reach Gulf Coast refineries.

The “base Keystone” system, which started up in 2010, made its way through the regulatory process relatively smoothly within a couple of years.

OTTAWA — The federal public safety minister says his officials have reminded airlines they don’t need to vet children against Canada’s no-fly list, after a six-year-old was stopped by airport security.

Ralph Goodale says his department is also exploring possible changes to the Secure Air Travel Regulations that would help differentiate individuals who have similar or the same names as people on the no-fly list.

In addition, Goodale indicated the no-fly regime would be examined during broad public consultations on Canada’s overall security framework.

The minister promised to investigate after the father of Canadian-born Syed Adam Ahmed tweeted a photo from Toronto’s international airport that appeared to show the boy’s name with a “DHP” or “deemed high profile” label and instructions on how to proceed before allowing the boy to check in.

They were trying to board an Air Canada flight Dec. 31 to Boston to see the NHL Winter Classic.

In a statement, Goodale says his department fully understands the frustration of law-abiding travellers whose plans are interrupted as a result of false positives arising in the security screening of airline passenger manifests.

The current air travel regulations say before issuing a boarding pass to any person who appears to be 18 years of age or older, an airline must first verify the identity of the person by comparing their name with the names on the Canadian no-fly list.

Navy finds more security lapses

Man dead after being hit by falling arcade game

KEITH DOUCETTE THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — In the wake of the revelation of a large breach of information at the military’s East Coast intelligence Centre, the navy’s commander in the region now says there have been five more breaches of a secure military computer network at Canadian Forces Base Halifax.

In an interview requested by the navy on Thursday, Rear Admiral John Newton said the “non-nefarious breaches” occurred at the navy’s training school at the base.

Newton said they were found after the navy began security scans of its system in September.

He said those same scans had previously turned up a larger breach of information at the intelligence facility, HMCS Trinity.

He said the latest checks revealed an inappropriate use of information by three instructors and two students at the training school who transferred classified training material from the military’s classified network to its unclassified network.

“Therefore I would suspect that the nature of the material on the military unclassified network now are a small group of files related to training of our sailors and how they operate their ships,” said Newton.

Newton said he’s confident the incident was contained within the military because he said its computer network is closed to the public and is not part of the Internet.

He suggested part of the problem may have involved people trying to digest course information in another format because of limited access to restricted computer terminals.

“I’ve got to reduce those to zero so I can see people trying to abuse the networks for nefarious intent,” he said.

A 19-year-old man died on Thursday after a boxing arcade machine featuring a punching bag toppled on him in a Quebec City bar.

He was found suffering from a head

wound in the wee hours and was declared dead in hospital.

Criminal charges are possible if police determine the machine was pushed deliberately.

The machine in question allows patrons to hit a punching bag as hard as possible to gauge their strength.

S. Korea propaganda broadcasts resume after nuclear test claim

Venezuela president appoints hardliner in key post

Effort certain to raise ire across border by raising questions about ruling Kim family FOSTER KLUG AND HYUNG-JIN KIM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — In response to North Korea’s latest nuclear test, South Korea on Thursday announced it would resume cross-border propaganda broadcasts that Pyongyang considers an act of war. Seoul also began talks with Washington that could see the arrival of nuclear-powered U.S. submarines and warplanes to the Korean Peninsula.

From Seoul to Washington, Beijing to the United Nations, world powers are looking at ways to punish Pyongyang for the test of what it called a new and powerful hydrogen bomb.

The loudspeaker broadcasts, which will start Friday, believed to be the birthday of young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, are certain to infuriate authoritarian Pyongyang because they are meant to raise questions in North Korean minds about the infallibility of the ruling Kim family. South Korea stopped earlier broadcasts after it agreed with Pyongyang in late August on a package of measures aimed at easing animosities that had the rivals threatening war.

Experts, meanwhile, are trying to uncover more details about the detonation that drew worldwide skepticism and condemnation.

It may take weeks or longer to confirm or refute the North’s claim that it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, which would mark a major and unanticipated advance for its

‘Affluenza’ mom faces charge in U.S. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT WORTH, Texas — The mother of a fugitive teen who used an “affluenza” defence after killing four people in a drunken crash was returned to Texas on Thursday to face a charge of helping her son evade capture.

Tonya Couch, who was deported from Mexico last week, arrived on a flight from Los Angeles and was taken to Tarrant County jail in handcuffs and leg irons. She is expected to be arraigned Friday on a charge of hindering the apprehension of a felon. Her bond was set at $1 million.

Authorities believe Couch and her 18-year-old son, Ethan Couch, fled Texas in November. Ethan Couch is being held at an immigration detention centre in Mexico City after winning a court reprieve that could lead to a weeks- or even months-long legal process in Mexico.

still-limited nuclear arsenal. Even a test of an atomic bomb, a less sophisticated and less powerful weapon, would push its scientists and engineers closer to their goal of building a nuclear warhead small enough to place on a missile that can reach the U.S. mainland.

Statements from the White House said President Barack Obama had spoken to South Korean President Park Geun-Hye and to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan. The statements said the countries “agreed

to work together to forge a united and strong international response to North Korea’s latest reckless behaviour.”

Early analysis by the U.S. government was “not consistent with the claims that the regime has made of a successful hydrogen bomb test,” a White House spokesman said.

South Korea’s spy service said it thought the estimated explosive yield from the blast was much smaller than what even a failed hydrogen bomb detonation would produce.

But even if the North exploded a boosted fission bomb, its explosive yield, estimated at six kilotons, showed the test was likely a failure, a South Korean defence official said Thursday. An explosion two to five times more powerful would have been reported if it were successful, the official said, requesting anonymity because of department rules.

The North’s 2013 test produced an estimated yield of 6-7 kilotons of explosives, according to South Korean officials.

Campaign spokesman Gerald Germain said Celestin has been urging Haiti’s outgoing president to ensure that the commission’s recommendations are put in place before the two-candidate presidential runoff.

They include major changes to the electoral machinery, with investigations and possible resignations of those accused of corruption, and political dialogue to achieve consensus about the next round.

“Only when the recommendations

CELESTIN

are implemented would Mr. Celestin take part,” German said in a phone interview.

While Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council has pledged to improve transparency for the final round, commission spokesman Rosny Desroches said he has seen very little

progress to solve electoral tensions since the special panel’s recommendations were released Sunday.

For instance, he noted that President Michel Martelly this week issued a decree making Jan. 24 the new date for the postponed runoff without first holding a political dialogue with those involved in the electoral impasse, a key recommendation.

“For now, there is apparently no will to hold even a minimal dialogue,” Desroches said.

If legitimate elections don’t take place as scheduled Jan. 24, a transitional government might have to be formed.

Celestin has called the official results putting him in second place behind government-backed candidate Jovenel Moise a “ridiculous farce” and refused to campaign for a Dec. 27 runoff.

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Nicolas Maduro is doubling down on his existing economic policies with the appointment of a young leftist hardliner to head the country’s cratering economy, setting the stage for confrontation between the ruling socialist party and the newly powerful opposition.

Luis Salas, the new 39-year-old vice-president for the economy, has scant administrative experience, but champions the same theories of price and currency controls that have defined Venezuela’s leftist economic policy for 17 years.

Like Maduro, Salas says the country is suffering from the world’s worst recession and triple-digit inflation because business interests are colluding with the U.S. to sabotage the economy.

He even goes further than Maduro in arguing that many of the country’s problems are the result of being too capitalist.

A professor at the Bolivarian University, an institution created by the late president Hugo Chavez, Salas was relatively unknown before this week. Now, the country is poring over his large body of pamphlets and letters.

“Inflation doesn’t exist in real life,” he wrote last year.

He added that prices go up not because of scarcity, but because of “capitalist economies that are driven by the desire for personal gain through the exploitation of others; by selfishness.”

Along with shortages, inflation has become the No. 1 concern among Venezuelan voters, many of whom spend hours each week waiting in line for goods that are increasingly impossible to afford.

After the opposition swept Dec. 6 legislative elections, Salas wrote an open letter in which he attacked as “pragmatists” those people within the socialist camp who were floating the possibility of a currency devaluation, a move that outside economists agree is a necessary first step for righting the economy.

Socialist supporters have supported appointment of the new economic czar.

Maduro named other hardliners to top spots Wednesday as part of a larger cabinet reshuffle he says is intended to protect the revolution during a new political era. And he created a new urban agriculture ministry and announced that he and first lady Cilia Flores had taken up urban farming themselves.

“Cilia and I keep 50 chickens at our home. It’s time to start building a new culture of production,” he said.

Organ transplant patients face higher risk of cancer, says study SHERYL UBELACKER THE CANADIAN PRESS

Crown calls cop ‘hothead, bully’

TORONTO — Patients who undergo liver, kidney or other solid organ transplants are up to three times more likely to die from cancer than those in the general population, a study has found, suggesting that recipients need regular screening to catch malignancies early.

The study of more than 11,000 Ontario transplant patients found that almost one-fifth of the deaths in this group over a 20-year period were cancer-related, with skin cancers among those posing the most significant risk of death.

Of 3,068 deaths among patients who had kidney, liver, heart or lung transplants between 1991 and 2010, 603 were cancer-related, the study by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital concluded.

When researchers excluded patients with pre-transplant malig-

“I don’t want the message to go out to these transplant patients that they’re going to die of skin cancer because chances are that they’re not.”

Dr. Nancy Baxter, cancer surgeon

nancies, the overall rate of cancer deaths was still twice that of the general population. Children who had received a transplant had a higher risk of dying from cancer than organ recipients over age 60.

Principal researcher Dr. Nancy Baxter, a cancer surgeon at St. Michael’s Hospital, said drugs used to suppress the immune system to prevent organ rejection likely con-

tribute to a higher rate of cancer, which is also often harder to treat in transplant patients.

While malignant melanoma often has a more dismal outlook, non-melanoma skin cancers like basal- and squamous-cell carcinomas are typically far more curable for the average person.

That’s not the case for organ recipients who develop the disease.

“Skin cancer in this transplant patient population, non-melanoma skin cancer, it’s a different beast than it is in the general population,” explained Baxter.

“I don’t want the message to go out to these transplant patients that they’re going to die of skin cancer because chances are that they’re not,” she said. “It’s an uncommon cause of death, but still it’s a much more aggressive cancer in this patient population.

Baxter said cancer is the second leading cause of death in transplant patients after heart disease.

Toronto officer accused in streetcar shooting DIANA MEHTA THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A Toronto police officer was “a hothead and a bully” when he shot down a teen on an empty streetcar, a Crown prosecutor argued Thursday as he tried to convince a jury the man had viable alternatives to lethal force but didn’t use them.

Const. James Forcillo has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and attempted murder in the death of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim — an incident which triggered outrage across the city two and a half years ago.

As the trial draws to a close, Crown prosecutor Milan Rupic told jurors Forcillo wanted to assert his authority over a “mouthy, mocking teenager” without trying to make a connection with a person he knew was in crisis.

“During his standoff with Sammy Yatim the defendant was a hothead and a bully,” Rupic said in his closing address. “He wore the uniform of a police officer but he did not act like a police officer.”

Forcillo’s lawyer has argued in his own closing statement that the Crown is trying to “criminalize a judgement call” made by a first responder.

In calling for Forcillo’s acquittal, defence lawyer Peter Brauti has said the officer’s actions were justified and carried out in self-defence.

He has also placed blame for the incident squarely on Yatim’s shoulders, saying the knife-toting, unco-operative teen “got himself shot.”

But Rupic attacked that suggestion head on.

“It is wrong to say Sammy Yatim got himself shot,” said Rupic. “It was not necessary and it was not reasonable for the defendant Forcillo to shoot the young man.”

The jury has heard that on a night in July 2013, Yatim had taken the drug ecstasy before boarding a streetcar

where he exposed himself and pulled out a small knife, sparking a panicked mass exodus after the vehicle came to a stop.

Surveillance video and audio played at the trial have shown that Forcillo arrived on scene and screamed repeatedly at Yatim, who remained on the streetcar, to “drop the knife.”

Yatim refused and hurled expletives at Forcillo and an increasing amount of other officers. The confrontation escalated when the teen took a few steps back from his position at the top of the streetcar’s front steps.

Forcillo warned the teen he’d shoot if the youth took another step forward.

He has testified he then saw Yatim flick his knife towards him before moving back towards the spot he had been in before.

Forcillo then fires nine bullets at Yatim in two separate volleys. The teen collapses immediately. The entire standoff lasted about 50 seconds.

“The defendant shot Sammy Yatim not because he posed any real threat to anyone, but rather because Yatim simply moved 50 centimetres and failed to obey the ultimatum,” said Rupic, noting that the teen had not lunged or charged towards Forcillo.

Forcillo also did not make use of his most valuable asset — time, Rupic said.

Yatim’s behaviour that night was “appalling,” Rupic conceded, but the youth had not been in a frenzy and did not exhibit signs he wanted to “fight to the end,” as Forcillo suggested.

Rupic also accused Forcillo’s lawyer of attempt to “distract” the jury by calling emotional testimony from a woman on the streetcar who was sitting near Yatim when he swiped his knife towards her.

“The defendant simply did not know anything about what happened at the rear of the streetcar, and it therefore did not affect his decision to shoot.”

TERRORISM

France: Man in fake bomb vest shot dead Assailant, who shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ as he waved knife, carried a document with emblem of Islamic State

Scores of police descended Thursday on the northern neighbourhood that was the site of the attempted attack, blocking it off to pedestrians and ordering shops to close. Metro stations in the area, which is not far from the Montmartre district that is home to the Sacre Coeur Cathedral, were closed and buses halted, leaving scores of residents, including many elderly, to walk long distances only to find they could not get into their homes.

“It’s like the Charlie Hebdo affair isn’t over,” said Nora Borrias, a 27-year-old waiting for her barricaded street to reopen. She said she no longer feels a sense of safety.

Video shot from a window above the station and provided to The Associated Press showed the suspect’s body lying on the ground in a pool

of blood as a sniffer dog was called in to check the body, along with a bomb-detecting robot. More video aired later on iTele TV showed a police explosives specialist cutting open the dead man’s jacket to check for live explosives.

Alexis Mukenge, who witnessed the shooting, told iTele that police shouted, “Stop! Move back!” before firing twice at the man, who immediately fell to the ground.

Authorities did not publicly identify the suspect. However, a French security official said police were “working on the hypothesis” that the assailant is a 20-year-old Moroccan who was involved in a minor 2013 robbery in the southern Var region.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case,

said that while the fingerprints of the dead attacker matched those of the robbery suspect, who identified himself at the time as Ali Sallah of Casablanca, the assailant in Thursday’s attack appeared older than 20.

He said Sallah, who had been in France illegally, was ordered to leave the country after the 2013 incident. Investigators were trying to determine if and when the man had returned to Paris.

Earlier, the Paris prosecutor’s anti-terrorism unit said it had opened an investigation into Thursday’s attempted attack. Besides the IS emblem and claim of responsibility in Arabic, a cellphone was also found on the suspect’s body, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. It did not elaborate on the claim of responsibility.

France declared a state of emergency after the November attacks, and thousands of security forces have spread out around the country, concentrating especially on places of worship and other sensitive sites.

Hollande is trying to push through a controversial new measure that calls for anyone with dual nationality convicted of terrorism to lose French citizenship.

Speaking earlier Thursday, Hollande said that what he called a “terrorist threat” would continue to weigh on France. He called for better surveillance of “radicalized” citizens who have joined the Islamic State group or other fighting groups in Syria and Iraq when they return to France.

“We must be able to force these people —and only these people— to fulfil certain obligations and if necessary to put them under house arrest ... because they are dangerous,” he said.

France has faced down terror from numerous quarters over the decades, but its first head-on encounter with the Islamic State group a year ago was a turning point for a fearful Europe.

The attacks on the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine, which mocks Islam and all organized religion and uses raw language in its cartoons and articles, had resonance throughout Europe and the world. Leaders flocked to Paris in a solidarity march and “Je Suis Charlie” — I am Charlie — became a global slogan of defiance and unity with France.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry noted that solidarity on Thursday.

“No country knows better than France that freedom has a price,” Kerry said in a statement.

“But what was intended to sow fear and division has, in fact, brought us together.”

Truck bombing kills at least 60 policemen

Man who murdered three women executed

Two attackers killed as they try to stab soldiers

A truck bomb exploded near a police base in the western Libyan town of Zliten on Thursday, killing at least 60 policemen and wounding around 200 others, officials said.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but a local Islamic State affiliate has been trying to gain a foothold in Zliten, spreading westward from its central stronghold in the city of Sirte along the North African country’s coast.

The police base, where about 400 recruits were training, was used

by Libya’s border police, a Zliten security official said. Border police foiled numerous human smuggling attempts off the coast of Zliten last year. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Members of Cologne’s large Muslim community have joined the chorus condemning a string of assaults on women on New Year’s Eve that have shocked Germany. But some are also voicing concern that pointing the finger of blame at Muslims in general — and North African immigrants in particular — is unfair when most migrants are law-abiding and the full facts of what happened on the night remain unclear.

Although there is little solid information so far on who committed the assaults, the incident has put a spotlight on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s welcoming stance toward those fleeing conflict, and has been seized on by Germany’s far right, which opposes most forms of immigration.

Central African Republic’s long-awaited presidential election is now headed to a runoff round later this month between two former prime ministers, election officials announced Thursday.

No candidate received more than 50 per cent during the first round held late last month, according to final provisional results released by the National Election Authority.

The runoff is scheduled for Jan. 31, authorities said.

Anicet Georges Dologuele led the crowded field with 23.8 per cent of the vote. The other candidate advancing is Faustin Archange Touadera, who had 19.4 per cent.

Thursday’s results now must be certified by the transitional government’s constitutional court.

Oscar Ray Bolin, a former carnival worker who was convicted of killing three Tampa Bay-area women then married a member of his defence team while on death row, was executed Thursday in Florida.

Gov. Rick Scott’s office said Bolin was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 10:16 p.m. local time at Florida State Prison in Starke.

The scheduled 6 p.m. execution time was delayed until the U.S. Supreme Court rejected without comment Bolin’s final appeal.

Bolin was also sentenced to death for the killing of 17-year-old Stephanie Collins. A jury also gave him the death penalty for killing 25-year-old Natalie Holley, but that verdict was thrown out because of legal errors.

All three women were stabbed.

The Israeli military says three Palestinians brandishing knives rushed at troops in the West Bank, prompting the soldiers to open fire, killing two of them. The third attacker was wounded and taken to hospital.

The army says the attack took place on Thursday evening at the Gush Etzion junction near Jerusalem. The area has been a frequent target for Palestinian attackers lately.

Near daily Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers have killed 21 Israelis, mostly in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming assaults.

At least 134 Palestinians died by Israeli fire, including 93 said by Israel to be attackers. The rest were killed in clashes with troops.

ELAINE GANLEY AND LORI HINNANT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — A man wearing a fake explosives vest and wielding a butcher knife was shot to death by police outside a Paris police station Thursday, jolting an already anxious French capital with a new dose of fear as the nation grimly marked a year of terror that started with the newsroom massacre at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine.

The assailant — who shouted “Allahu akbar!” or “God is great!”— as he waved the knife at officers, was carrying a document with an emblem of the Islamic State group and “an unequivocal claim of responsibility in Arabic,” the prosecutor’s office said.

The extremist group claimed responsibility for the Jan. 7, 2015, attack at Charlie Hebdo and on a kosher grocery store three days later that killed 17 people.

The Islamic State group also claimed the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris cafes, restaurants, a sports stadium and a music hall that killed 130 people.

Thursday’s attempted attack shortly before noon in Paris’ multi-ethnic Goutte d’Or neighbourhood came almost one year to the minute after two Islamic extremists burst into the offices of Charlie Hebdo, killing 11 people.

Just moments earlier, President Francois Hollande had paid respects to fallen security forces — three of whom were killed last year in terrorist violence — saluting their valour in protecting “this way of life, the one that terrorists want to attack.”

The fallen were killed “so that we can live free,” Hollande said, describing the November attacks as “acts of war.”

But there was no reprieve for France.

‘I THINK I HAVE ANOTHER GEAR’ No fanfare for Canucks blueliner Hutton, just results BEN KUZMA THE PROVINCE

L

ike a salmon wiggling off a hook, Ben Hutton was talking about the one that got away.

And he did it with that trademark ear-to-ear grin and aw-shucks attitude, because in his world, there are no bad days, just good opportunities.

The Vancouver Canucks rookie defenceman did everything right to earn that elusive first NHL goal with a bold foray to the crease Monday against Arizona. He nearly re-directed a Derek Dorsett feed off the sideboards, but opportunity lost is not the story.

The real story is a fifth-round pick making an impact as a topfour blueliner on a banged-up back end, and also being a second-unit power-play performer. It’s about the power of positive thinking drilled into him at the collegiate level. It’s about combining a fast stride, precise passing and elusiveness to seamlessly transition into the NHL’s toughest position.

Think about it. Teams purposely dump pucks in his corner to place turnover heat on the 22-year-old Brockville, Ont. native. They try to pound him at every turn, and the 6-foot-2, 183 pounder has heard all

SPORTS INSIDE Today’s issue

the taunting not fit for print.

And through it all, there’s that boyish enthusiasm in a man’s game, a camp curiousity who effortlessly placed long training-camp passes right on the tape and earned a roster spot amid little fanfare. For all the hoopla surrounding rookies Jared McCann and Jake Virtanen making the grade, Hutton went about his business with a quiet confidence and ability to make the tough play at the right time.

“I’ve always been confident and you need that to try to make plays and I would never wish injuries on anybody, but I’ve had more opportunities to learn,” said Hutton, who has nine assists though he missed seven

games after a sideboards collision Nov. 18 in Winnipeg.

“There have been times when I’ve been frustrated when I hit a post because I could have delayed longer and then shot. But I try to stay positive at all times, because if I’m negative, it could rub off on somebody else. And maybe me being positive rubs off on the other guys.”

Especially if he scores a goal. He had nine last season at the University of Maine, and one in four games with the Utica Comets.

“I think I have another gear, and the coaching staff has given me the green light to go on offence and join the rush,” said Hutton.

“But at the same time you have to be very smart in this league and pick your battles. You can’t be too risky.

The green light is there, but I don’t want the red light if I make a few mistakes.”

For all the angst blueline angst — injures to unrestricted free agent Dan Hamhuis and Luca Sbisa and what to make of UFAs Yannick Weber, Matt Bartkowski and Alex Biega — there is anticipation of heightened Hutton expectations and the promise of intriguing 22-year-old restricted free agent Andrey Pedan.

Do the Canucks need a proven topfour defenceman? Absolutely. Who doesn’t? But they’re not going to part

with Bo Horvat or McCann, and especially when you consider that after 34 games a year ago, Hutton’s season at Maine was five games away from regular-season completion.

Now, he can be matched against top NHL lines while logging an average of 17:45 in ice time because he’s getting tips from Hamhuis and Chris Tanev and has a high compete level.

“Hammer will tell me about gaps and Tanev will talk about walking the blueline. Everybody has given me bits and pieces, and it’s my job to put it all together,” said Hutton.

“My skating really helps if I happen to make a mistake or get caught.

Coming down the stretch, teams are going to be coming harder, and it’s going to be a bigger challenge.”

Hutton got everybody’s attention in the Canucks organization after 15 goals in 35 games during the 2013-14 NCAA Hockey East season in which he was a first-team all-star.

But a drop off to nine goals with the struggling Black Bears last season — they were 8-12-2 in conference play at 22-34-5 overall — actually made Hutton a better player. He had to defend better and take fewer chances offensively.

And when he struggled, the guy behind the bench had a lot to do with his play on the ice.

“My coach at Maine (Dennis ‘Red’

Gendron) was really big on mindset and he had us read of a few books because you need confidence to make plays when I’m jumping in and out of the rush,” said Hutton.

Hutton’s comfort factor in all three zone isn’t surprising. He was a forward until age 13, and at a tryout where the first five players were asked to play defence, he looked comfortable. In Hutton’s first year of Junior A — which included the 2011 World Challenge in Langley — he played forward until he told his coach he might be able to help out the back end.

“We we struggling with the breakout the next year and I asked the coach if I could try defence,” said Hutton.

“The first shift I ended up having two assists, so he said I might keep you on D a bit. It’s been that way ever since.”

OF NOTE: Jannik Hansen appeared to suffer a back or hip strain Wednesday and left the game in the third period. Joe Cannata has been re-assigned to Utica with Ryan Miller back after missing six games with a groin strain. Winger Hunter Shinaruk, who leads the Comets with 25 points, including 13 goals, is the club’s representative for the AHL All-Star Game on Jan. 31 in Syracuse, N.Y.

PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS

After a couple of exhibition losses over the Christmas break, the Vancouver Island University Mariners return to PacWest men’s basketball play today, and they do so as an undefeated squad ranked No. 1 in the country.

After starting the PacWest season 7-0, the Mariners lost filler games to the Warner Pacific (Portland) Knights and Concordia (Montreal) Stingers in Portland.

“We competed in them for about half the games,” said VIU head coach Matt Kuzminski, the reigning national coach of the year. “In the second halves, the wheels kind of came off the bus.

“I like where our team’s at right now.

I think we’re steadily improving and hopefully that trend continues.”

Today, they get back to the league they are defending a championship in, opening the new year with a game against its two worst teams.

The Mariners take on the Columbia Bible College Bearcats today at 8 p.m. at VIU before hosting the Kwantlen Eagles on Saturday at 3 p.m.

“We have a standard that we want to play to, and it doesn’t matter who we play against,” Kuzminski said. “We always say the score keeps care of itself, and if we do what we’re supposed to do, execute the way we want to, it doesn’t really matter who we play against.

“Win or lose, we’re trying to play up to that standard every game and usually,

for us, we’ll be in a good position to win if we do those things.”

The VIU women’s hoops team also hosts CBC and Kwantlen over the weekend with games at 6 p.m. tonight and 1 p.m. Saturday.

With weeks between games, however, nothing is a given.

“Sometimes they’re challenging,” Kuzmisnki said of returning to league games after a long break.

“Sometimes the first practices after Christmas break are challenging with the guys being a little rusty, but I thought this year, the guys looked pretty good. Their conditioning, which is usually the issue after Christmas break, looked solid and mentally they looked fresh and hungry again, so I was pleasantly surprised there.”

Coupled with their 7-0 record, the Mariners also boast two of the top three leading scorers in the PacWest in Josh Ross and John Thompson. With that, going 21-0 is a possibility. But it’s not something they’re talking about.

“Not at all,” Kuzminski said. “We want to win every game, but it wasn’t a goal to have a 21-0 season. We want to make the national tournament and compete for a national championship. We have an opportunity to go 21-0, but it’s a long season and we have some tough games coming up.”

Glacier Kings beat Buccaneers 6-2 DAILY NEWS

The Nanaimo Buccaneers outshot the Comox Valley Glacier Kings, but they couldn’t outscore them.

Four quick goals in the first period were enough for the Glacier Kings to beat the Bucs 6-2 at the Nanaimo Ice Centre on Thursday night in the Bucs’ first home game of 2016.

The Glacier Kings (13-19-0-3) went into the game nine points back of the Bucs for second place in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, but left the rink seven points behind them as the two teams battle for homce ice advantage in their virtually inevativble

first-round playoff match-up.

The Bucs two goals came from Will McNamara — his first came late in the first period with his team already down 4-0. The Bucs outshot the Glacier Kings 33-21, but had difficulty solving Comox goalie Marcus Gloss. Glacier Kings forward Brandon McReynolds was the top scorer in the game, scoring two goals and picking up an assist.

The Bucs next play on Saturday on the road against the Oceanside Generals, one day before the Canadian junior hockey trade deadline.

Lions agree to extension with Ryan Phillips Eleven-year veteran defensive back was set to enter his final year of his previous contract in upcoming season VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions have agreed on a contract extension with defensive back Ryan Phillips through the 2017 season.

Philips, an 11-year veteran, was scheduled to enter the final year of his previous contract this season.

“Ryan continues to perform at a very high level and this is an important signing for the club,” Lions head

coach/GM Wally Buono said Thursday in a statement. “He’s an integral part of our team both as a veteran defensive back and a leader away from the field.

“He still possesses the ability to change a game with one play and his experience is something we value tremendously when it comes to the development of our younger players.”

him tied for the CFL lead. Phillips had appeared in 180 straight games before a hamstring injury sidelined him for three weeks.

“Without question, I’m a Lion to very end of my days as a pro,” Phillips said. “I am honoured and grateful to play for this organization, for our fans and alongside some of the very best players in the CFL. “We have a tremendous opportunity to build a championship team and

I’m excited to be a part of it moving forward.”

Phillips has played 194 regular-season games with B.C. to stand ninth overall in team history and is second overall in interceptions (46) and total tackles (478).

The club will also release international defensive back Steven Clarke so he can pursue NFL opportunities. He was scheduled to become a free agent next month.

TORONTO — For the second year in a row, Toronto FC will be racking up frequent flyer miles to open the MLS season.

Thanks to stadium renovations, Toronto plays the first eight games of its 10th season away from home, starting March 6 against the New York Red Bulls. The team then visits New York, Kansas City, Colorado, New England, D.C. United, Montreal and defending champion Portland before hosting FC Dallas at BMO Field on May 7.

Six of those road destinations are teams that made the playoffs last season. At the other end of the schedule, 10 of Toronto’s last 15 games are at home.

In December, MLS announced the first two games of the 2016 season for each team. It fleshed out the full schedule Thursday. Every team plays a 34-game schedule with clubs facing conference opponents either two or three times and out-of-conference teams just once.

The league’s 21st season kicks off March 6 and runs through Oct 23.

MLS will take a break from June 3 to 14 for the Copa America Centenario.

The Vancouver Whitecaps will see the rival Portland Timbers three times this season, with two visits to B.C. Place Stadium. The Timbers ended Vancouver’s 2015 season in the Western Conference semifinal.

The Whitecaps will host the Montreal Impact on opening day but Vancouver fans will not see Toronto FC and reigning MVP Sebastian Giovinco on the West Coast.

Toronto will host the Whitecaps on May 14. TFC and the Impact will face off three times, April 23 and Oct. 16 in Montreal and Aug. 27 in Toronto.

The April 23 game is the first of 15 for Montreal at Stade Saputo.

Montreal has its home opener March 12 at Olympic Stadium against the Red Bulls. The Impact will then play in Dallas on March 19 and in Seattle on April 2 before facing Columbus, which ousted it from the playoffs in the Eastern Conference semifinal.

“Watching hockey at home and being away from it I think you just take for granted playing and being in the NHL,” the 30-year-old centre said Thursday, a day after agreeing to a one-year, $1 million deal with the Washington Capitals.

“I played for 10 years and you almost take it for granted going to the rink every day, but when you don’t have that opportunity, it weighs on you. So, it’s nice to be back.”

Richards was a free agent after the Los Angeles Kings bought out the remaining five years of his contract last summer following his arrest at a Canadian border crossing in June on charges of possession of a controlled substance. He met with the NHL on Wednesday and was cleared to resume his career immediately. His legal case in Canada will continue with a hearing scheduled for Jan. 28.

“It’s a privilege to play in the NHL and not everyone gets to do it,” Richards said. “It’s no fun being 30 years old and sitting on the couch and not having much to do. It’s exciting to be back here. Fortunate and thank the Capitals for taking a chance on me and hopefully I can do some good things.”

Capitals Senior Vice-President and General Manager Brian MacLellan said with his team looking for depth, he had been eyeing Richards’ situation since the summer and kept in touch with his agent.

MacLellan said he was aware of the critical comments Kings GM Dean Lombardi had for Richards last summer. MacLellan and coach Barry Trotz met with Richards in Toronto in November gauge his mindset.

“Felt a good comfort level from there,” MacLellan said. “There’s

always two sides to a story. We listened to (Mike’s) side and . . . we were comfortable with what Mike expressed to us about the situation.”

Richards, who had been skating with his former junior team in Kitchener, Ontario, to stay in shape, knows there will be challenges in jumping into play midseason.

“I think the biggest thing will be adjusting to the speed,” he said.

“It will be a little bit different than jumping in in October. Obviously, January is quicker than it is in the beginning of the season.”

Richards, who began his career

with Philadelphia and won Stanley Cups with the Kings in 2012 and 2014, joins a Capitals team that began the day leading the NHL with 61 points. While other teams also expressed interest in signing him, Richards acknowledged he appreciated the opportunity a winning team.

“At the end of the day, the Washington Capitals and their place in the standings speak for themselves,” he said.

Richards also has a familiar face on the ice in former Kings teammate Justin Williams, who signed with Washington in the off-season.

“It’s nice to have a familiar face,” Richards said. “Justin and I have gone through a lot together and have had success, became pretty good friends over the last couple of years, too. We’ve talked a lot the last month. I kept him in the loop and he’s kept me in the loop.”

Overall, Richards has 179 goals

and 303 assists in 710 regular-season games. He also won a gold medal with Canada at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

“He’s got over 120 games playoff experience,” MacLellan said. “He’s been on a lot of championship teams from junior to American Hockey League to NHL to Olympics. That doesn’t happen by accident. You don’t just fall into all of those.

There’s a quality person, teammate there that we were interested in. I think we can get a lot of that back out of him.”

Trotz wouldn’t put a timetable on Richards being ready for games, but said the centre was open to going down to the AHL for a couple of games if needed.

With an injury to Jay Beagle, the Capitals have some need for depth at centre and Trotz said he planned to start Richards on the fourth line when he is ready and go from there.

NFL BRIEFS The Associated Press ◆ MINNESOTA

Peterson’s injury won’t hold him out vs. Seattle The Minnesota Vikings head into the playoffs looking like a team on the rise, with a second-year head coach pushing the right buttons, a 23-year-old quarterback still figuring things out and a young, fast, aggressive defence that only figures to get better in the coming seasons.

For all those reasons, the optimism is high that Sunday’s game against Seattle will be the first of many playoff appearances for the Vikings, the next step in their journey from rebuilding to competitor to contender.

Adrian Peterson knows better. The 30-year-old running back was 25 once, and he remembers his first trip to the playoffs in 2009 and thinking of chance after chance that would follow it. He has only played three playoff games since that first one and also watched his career careen into the ditch in 2015 when he missed 15 games while addressing child abuse charges.

◆ KANSAS CITY

Houston, Hali return for Chiefs, set to play Texans Few people have a better vantage point to watch Justin Houston and Tamba Hali than Eric Berry, the Pro Bowl safety who stands behind them on every play in Kansas City’s highly ranked defence.

So when Houston went down more than a month ago with a hyperextended knee, and Hali followed him out of action with a broken thumb, the loss was as noticeable to Berry as anyone.

Not just in their physical presence, either.

“It changes a lot just from a mental aspect, having that experience on the field, knowing what to look for, being in a lot of games,” Berry said.

“Pre-snap reads and stuff you don’t see from a physical standpoint, but mentally having the team’s awareness up — that’s big.”

◆ DENVER

Broncos will start Manning, not Osweiler Gary Kubiak stuck to his word in naming Peyton Manning his starter even after declaring that Brock Osweiler had done nothing to deserve a demotion.

“Peyton’s our quarterback,” Kubiak said on the day Manning hobbled to the sideline and gave way to his longtime understudy following his fourth interception against Kansas City on Nov. 15. “If he’s healthy and ready to go, Peyton’s our quarterback.”

Manning is healthy and ready to go. So, he’ll be under centre for the Denver Broncos (12-4) in the playoffs.

Kubiak called his quarterbacks into his office Thursday when players returned from a three-day furlough and informed them of his decision.

“I feel really good about this,” Kubiak said. “I feel good about how far Peyton has come.”

NFL

It’s a good year to be a wild card Steelers, Chiefs and Seahawks all favoured to move on despite their low seedings BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I

t looks like it’s a good year to be a wild card in the NFL playoffs.

The oddsmakers certainly think so, making Kansas City (three points), Pittsburgh (2 1-2), and Seattle (5 1-2) favourites on the road in the opening round of the post-season. The only wild card that is an underdog is slumping Green Bay, and by only a point at Washington.

Those wise guys also have made the sixth-seeded Seahawks the third choice to win the NFC at 9-4, behind Arizona and Carolina, each at 2-1 odds. The AFC’s sixth seed, the Steelers, also are the third choice behind division winners Denver and New England. As for the upcoming weekend, what they are thinking in Las Vegas is that none of the division winners — Redskins, Texans, Bengals or Vikings — is impressive.

Indeed, much of the talk the past few weeks around the league was about which opponent was a must to avoid, with the Seahawks, Chiefs and Steelers the front-runners in that race.

“You know what, I could honestly care less about what anybody says outside of this locker room,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said. “We know that we line up against anybody that we’re confident that we’re going to get the job done.”

They have done what’s necessary in 10 straight games for one of the great turnarounds in NFL history.

The Chiefs rank first in the AFC with a plus-14 turnover margin. The defence is formidable and might get back its best player, linebacker Justin Houston (knee). They’re 5-3 on the road and already have won at the Texans, in the season opener, when KC wasn’t nearly so strong.

“First of all they have a lot of good players and they have a really good coaching staff. That combination is tough,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.

“On defence they’ve got really good pass rushers with (Tamba) Hali and Houston and they’ve got a good secondary playing at a high level, their linebackers fly around, their front

seven is really, really good.

“Offensively Alex Smith’s had a good year, receivers, (Jeremy) Maclin. I know Jamaal Charles is on IR now, but they’ve still got running backs, Kelce the tight end, a really good offensive line. So it’s a big challenge.”

Although Pittsburgh stumbled badly in Week 16 with its loss at the Ravens, it got another chance when the moment proved too big for the Jets in Buffalo. Considering how the Steelers can ring up points on anyone, plus their strong post-season pedigree with leaders such as Ben Roethlisberger, Heath Miller, Cam Heyward, revitalized James Harrison and coach Mike Tomlin, the Bengals can’t be thrilled with Saturday night’s matchup.

Also remember the Steelers won in

Cincinnati 33-20 a month ago, are 18-7 overall against their AFC North rivals since 2004, have won 21 of 26 at Riverfront or Paul Brown stadiums, and Cincy hasn’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season.

“The post-season is a different season,” Roethlisberger said. “You’re going to have to do your best, throw out all of the records, throw out where you are playing. Everybody has to step up and be ready to go.”

Steelers fans expect their team to be ready: Saturday’s prime-time affair is sold out and you can bet plenty of Terrible Towels will be waving in Cincinnati.

Considering how Minnesota has closed the schedule, winning three straight to grab the NFC North and also with a close defeat at Arizona before that, some might be surprised to see the Seahawks so heavily favoured.

If so, those folks have forgotten the shellacking Seattle handed the Vikings in Minneapolis in early December.

For further emphasis, this is a more balanced Seahawks team than

the squads that reached the past two Super Bowls. Its defence might not be quite as dynamic, but its offence is vastly superior to 2013 and ’14.

And there is this: Seattle fears no one.

“I think people can sometimes forget who we are,” star cornerback Richard Sherman said. “We let a few penalties, weird calls or miscues change their perception, and then we come back and remind them.”

Only the Packers among the wild cards don’t seem fearsome, mainly because their offence has frozen. Yet they play the perceived weakest of the division champions, so no one is counting out Aaron Rodgers and company. Also the Redskins (9-7) didn’t beat a team that finished with a winning record.

This could be one of those years when being on the road in January matters little. Visitors went 118-138 this season, and the wild cards were a collective 19-13 away from home.

Plus, it’s not as if non-division champions can’t win Super Bowls.

Indeed, the Steelers, Chiefs and Packers all have done it.

J.J. Watt’s best moments are still to come KRISTIE RIEKEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON — J.J. Watt has had plenty of great games for the Texans.

And as Houston looks to end Kansas City’s 10-game winning streak in the wild-card round of the playoffs, it can take comfort in this: Some of the star defensive end’s best games have come in the post-season.

In four playoff games, Watt has five sacks, 17 tackles, three batted passes and an interception return for a touchdown.

His most notable playoff performance came as a rookie in the 2011

season in Houston’s first post-season game against Cincinnati. The game was tied 10-10 when Watt swatted down a pass, grabbed his first career interception and returned it for a touchdown to give Houston the lead in a 31-10 win.

Watt was also good in Houston’s only other playoff win which was also against Cincinnati in the wildcard round a year later. He had five tackles, a sack and swatted down two passes in the 19-10 victory.

“The playoffs are the goal, obviously,” he said. “It’s the goal to get to the playoffs and then to take it from

there. So all you can do is take it one game at a time.

“You need to play your best football in the playoffs. So it’s a great opportunity for us to go out there in front of our home crowd, fly around, have some fun and enjoy ourselves.”

Coach Bill O’Brien knows it helps to have players such as Watt and many members of his staff with playoff experience as they prepare for Saturday’s game.

“I think it’s good because you can just talk to them about our experiences and things that went wrong and

things that went right and how we’ve all learned from it and try to give them our thoughts on those things,” O’Brien said.

Watt believes it’s important to try and treat this game like any other.

“There is some added emotion, added energy, added excitement and you need to harbour that and use it the right way and channel it to use it for positive and don’t let it overwhelm you,” he said.

“Having been here and played in four playoff games now since I’ve been here, I think I’ve got a handle on how to do that.”

NFL

Defence key again for Seattle in playoffs Seahawks head into Saturday’s game in Minnesota with best scoring, running defence in the league TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

he questions and concerns that dogged the Seattle Seahawks’ vaunted defence in September and October were silenced by the end of the season.

That’s because the Seahawks accomplished something that hadn’t been done since the 1950s.

Seattle heads into Sunday’s wildcard game at Minnesota on a roll defensively. The pinnacle of their late-season success was holding Arizona to six points in the regular-season finale to end up leading the NFL in scoring defence for the fourth straight season. According to STATS, Seattle is the first team since the Cleveland Browns (1953-57) to lead the league in scoring defence in four or more consecutive seasons.

Over the final five games of the season, the Seahawks allowed only 55 total points. And two of the touchdowns scored during that time were special teams and defensive scores by their opponents.

However long this post-season run lasts for Seattle, it will be a new, but somewhat easier task for the Seahawks defence. After playing all their NFC playoff games at home the past two seasons, the Seahawks will be exclusively on the road this time around where it’s far easier for Seattle to communicate on the defensive side. “Maybe we focus better on the road, I don’t know what it is. I just think

we’re a better road team than we are a home team this year,� Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said.

Seattle also led the league in rush defence at 81.5 yards per game, giving up the exact same amount of yards it did a season ago when the Seahawks were third-best in the league at stopping the run.

Their first task in the playoffs could be their most difficult, trying to slow down Adrian Peterson, who led the NFL with 1,485 yards rushing this

season. But Seattle’s already stopped Peterson once this season, holding him to 18 yards on eight carries in Week 13. “You can’t expect a guy like that to get eight touches again. They’re going to find different ways, whether handing the ball off, or getting him screens or checking it down to him,�

Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “I definitely feel like he’s going to try to have a bigger presence in this game.�

Getting the scoring defence title was particularly important, but seemed unlikely going into the final week. With Cincinnati having allowed 16 to Baltimore in its finale earlier in the day, the Seahawks could give up only eight points to Arizona to at least share the scoring title.

Enter DeShawn Shead with the Seahawks holding a 36-6 lead in the closing minutes and Arizona deep in Seattle’s end.

The Seahawks had already gotten one break when Chandler Catanzaro’s field goal attempt at the end of the first half hit the upright and ricocheted back onto the field. On fourth-and-10 from the Seattle 12 with 5:25 left, the Cardinals opted to go for it rather than kick a meaningless field goal. Drew Stanton’s forced pass was intercepted by Shead, igniting a huge celebration on the Seahawks sideline. “I was not aware at all. I heard them talking on the sideline in the fourth quarter about it but I didn’t really pay no mind to it until I got the interception and I came back to the sideline and Earl (Thomas) and (Richard Sherman) came up to me and were like, ’Thank you, you saved the record,�’ Shead said. “I didn’t realize until then how significant the interception was. For my first interception at the last possible defensive drive in the regular season it could not have come at a better time. It’s a great feeling to know that I have legitimately been part of history.�

Sherman was completely aware of what was at stake. He knew even before the game started how much the Seahawks could afford to allow. “It’s cool. I think it means we’re consistent in what we do. We’re really diligent in our preparation, and all our hard work has come to fruition,�

Sherman said. “Everything we’ve wanted and everything we’ve tried, strived to do has come to fruition.

We appreciate seeing the fruits of our labour.�

2016 GAME SCHEDULE

Panthers’ Josh Norman calls himself the best NFL defender January 4 - March 10, 2016

JOSEPH PERSON THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

Schedules are subject to change without notice.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman has made it known throughout the season that he wants to win the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award.

Votes for the award were due in Tuesday, so Norman didn’t need to make a stump speech Thursday. But in responding to a reporter’s question, Norman said he believes he deserves the honor. “I’m not going to sit up here and say I don’t,� Norman said. “It’s one of those things that I put on my goal list each and every year. It’d be awesome to win such a prestigious award. . . . I’d be speechless. But at the same time knowing that my ultimate goal is the Super Bowl and nothing less is going to get me from making it there.�

Norman had four interceptions in the first four games, including two he returned for touchdowns. He didn’t have an interception over the final 12 games, when teams often shied away from him. Quarterbacks finished with a 54.0 passer rating when targeting Norman, the best mark among all cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald are among the leading candidates, a list that

also includes at least two other Panthers players.

Middle linebacker Luke Kuechly ranks among the top 15 in the league in tackles despite missing three games, and outside linebacker Thomas Davis hit career high in sacks (5.5) and interceptions (4).

Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short also could be in the conversation.

Carolina coach Ron Rivera said the Panthers’ candidates could cancel each other out. “Anytime you have a bunch of guys that are getting recognition that’s going to happen,� Rivera said. “We’ve got a group of guys that are all playing well together more so than anything else.�

Ovechkin continues to close in on 500 career goals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alex Ovechkin scored his 497th goal, Braden Holtby stopped 34 shots to keep up his stellar play and the NHL-leading Washington Capitals beat the New York Islanders 4-1 Thursday night.

Jason Chimera, Nate Schmidt and Nicklas Backstrom also scored to help Washington reach 63 points and become the first team with 30 wins.

Holtby improved to 26-4-2,

including 18-0-2 in his last 21 games.

It was the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first meeting since the Capitals won a seven-game series with the Islanders in the first round of the playoffs last season.

Brock Nelson scored for New York and Jaroslav Halak made 34 saves in his first action in nearly three weeks.

The Islanders had won four of six and fell to 7-2-2 against Metropolitan Division foes.

PANTHERS 3, SENATORS 2 Reilly Smith and Vincent Trocheck scored eight seconds apart in the first period and Florida extended its franchise-best win streak to 11 games.

Aleksander Barkov also scored for the Atlantic Division-leading Panthers and Roberto Luongo won his career-high ninth straight start behind 30 saves.

Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streak is the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest since Boston won 12 straight in March of 2014, according to the

NHL. Max McCormick and Milan Michalek scored for the Senators and Craig Anderson stopped 13 shots.

In the first period, Luongo made a great save, and on the ensuing play, Smith deflected Jonathan Huberdeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot to open the scoring at 12:01 on the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first shot of the game. Trocheck made it 2-0 after Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fredrik Claesson turned the puck over trying a no-look pass from the end boards out front of his own net.

FLYERS 4, WILD 3, OT Michael Del Zotto scored his second goal of the game with 37 seconds left in overtime to send Philadelphia over Minnesota.

Sean Couturier scored his fifth goal in nine games and Ryan White also scored to help Philadelphia win its second straight after losing three in a row.

Steve Mason made 31 saves for the Flyers and Brayden Schenn added two assists.

@NanaimoDaily

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Emphasize work and those in charge. You might feel a bit like a kid, as you’ll need to answer to others. Say yes, because there’s really no alternative.

Pull back some. Be willing to assess these situations and make a decision accordingly. Tonight: A must appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Reach out to someone who can help you sort through a situation. Not only is this person’s viewpoint very different, but his or her way of handling a problem is as well. If you are comfortable with this new perspective, try to work with it. Tonight: Try a new spot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deal with someone directly, and you will get better results. The ball might not be in your court, but there is no reason to think that you can’t deal with what is happening. You’ll come through at the last minute because you can discipline your mind. Tonight: Do the unusual.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You understand feeling out of control, as you experience frequent mood changes. You will discover how important it is to change directions and move past a self-imposed restriction. Someone else demands control, so let him or her have it.

Tonight: Go along for the ride.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be in the middle of a controversy and wish you weren’t. Go about your business, and refuse to get involved in an overassertive conversation. Passions run high, even at

BABY BLUES

BC

WORD FIND

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2016

home. Maintain a sense of humor, smile and allow others to let off steam. Tonight: Call it early.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Communication remains off when dealing with a child or family member.

Try as you may, this person can’t seem to understand your message.

Resist judging him or her. Give up being so critical, and try to walk in this person’s shoes. Tonight: Let off some steam.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension is high, and you might misread someone’s gesture. You can’t be sure enough of yourself right now. Try not to take any statement or misunderstanding personally. Get to the bottom of a problem through a non-defensive approach. Tonight: Play it easy, but curb spending.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will pound on someone’s door in attempt to get his or her attention.

When you want contact, you won’t rest until you have it. Your ability to come to terms with a problem needs to emerge. Consider pulling back some. Tonight: Hang out with a friend or loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Balance your checkbook before you walk out the door. You need that security more than you realize.

Someone might make an offer, which, for some reason, could anger you. Rather than respond quickly, pull back and think. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner and a movie.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel unusually energized, as the New Moon is in your sign.

You radiate a certain amount of magic, which attracts others. Avoid a quarrel by using your magnetism.

Do not underestimate your people skills. Tonight: Wherever you are is where others want to be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel burdened, tired or simply not in the mood to hear a lot of comments and demands coming from others. If you can take the day off from the constant grind, you will be able to recharge your batteries.

Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep in mind your expectations and where you are heading. You can do only so much, but today you have a better chance of achieving more of what you desire. Keep that fact in mind, even if you get into a squabble with someone at a distance.

Tonight: Where the crowds are.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (Jan. 8) This year you often have a tendency to be a little depressed. Honor a need to withdraw. A friend might encourage you to act on various goals or issues. This person could be very upset if you do not follow through. This friendship can be too volatile for you at times; take some much-needed space if need be. If you are single, you meet someone who might be slow to commit, but who probably is your soulmate. If you are attached, the two of you frequently can be found partying together. You could be put off by the fact that your sweetie doesn’t always take your commitment to a particular goal seriously. CAPRICORN understands you well.

Elizabeth Mar y Crosier (Pollard) December 6, 1929 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 3, 2016

â&#x20AC;&#x153;United They Standâ&#x20AC;?

Where one goes, the other follows.

On January 3, 2016, Mary peacefully passed away in the company of family and staff at the Comox Valley Senior Centre. She joins her husband of 62 years, Arnold Crosier, who predeceased her June 16, 2015.

Mary, the oldest of three sisters, was born in Randwick, York, England to loving parents Evelyn (Cann) and Arthur Pollard. While the country recovered from the war years, Mary completed her teaching credentials, often trying out new ideas on her sisters, Ruth, Anne and Judith. She introduced them to well-known children classics of the time, Wind in the Willows, Peter Pan and Edward Learâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nonsense Poems. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion of literature, history, geography and her appreciation of art, design, fashion and theatre continually grew and blossomed within her.

After meeting her life partner, Arnold, they began to fulfil their dreams by embarking on an amazing adventure to Canada. They arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba and married January 24, 1952 and began a business and a family.

Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters Jane (Terry) Swintak and Sara (Garth) Grant will miss her dearly. She was the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest mother and strongly united with Arnold in parenting. She was a creative and talented homemaker, hostess and teacher. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindness and generosity radiated. For many years, she proudly supported the Rotarians as a member of the Inner Wheel Club, was a Brownie and Guide leader and volunteered at the St. Boniface Hospital in the gift shop. Mary was a loving and giving woman and supported many local charities.

In 1980 Mary and Arnold made another monumental decision and moved to British Columbia leaving family in Winnipeg. Business continued in Vancouver until 1986 when they were drawn to retire in Qualicum Beach. Mary and Arnold enjoyed 30 years living together on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Islandâ&#x20AC;? in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paradiseâ&#x20AC;?. They moved often and enjoyed the beauty and the people of Qualicum Beach, Nanaimo, Comox and Courtenay.

Along with her two daughters, Jane and Sara, she also leaves behind granddaughters Candace and Rhonda, grandsons Thomas and Ian and 5 great grandchildren.

Mary has lived a rich and full life. Family would like to thank friends and neighbours, Dr. James Ingrey and Crown Isle Clinic staff, Comox Valley Senior Village staff, OmniCare (Arlene, Wendy and Anne) CV Hospice Society (Brenda) and all VIHA staff for the care and kindness shown to Mary and in support of her two daughters.

As Mary wished, family will celebrate her life quietly in their own time. Mary and Arnold are together again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;United They Standâ&#x20AC;?. Family was happy to entrust all arrangements to Comox Valley Funeral Home. Thank You.

Federer ends wait, open’s his season with comfy victory JOHN PYE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRISBANE, Australia — Roger Federer recalled the celebrations and the festive atmosphere of his 1,000th match victory on tour as soon as he returned to the Brisbane International to fine-tune his preparations for the Australian Open.

He achieved the milestone in the final here last year, when he beat Milos Raonic and shared the podium with some of the players he revered from a previous era.

His first practice was positive, he said, then he picked up an illness from one of his four kids — the whole family had it — and his attempt at a title defence was shaky for a while.

On the fifth day of the tournament, Federer finally opened his 2016 season with a commanding 6-2, 6-1 win over German qualifier Tobias Kamke, and advanced to a quarterfinal against Grigor Dimitrov, who beat Viktor Troicki 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-2 earlier Thursday.

“It was a big deal for me (the 1,000th win). I didn’t expect it to be as big of a deal as it actually ended up being,” Federer said. “It was very special because it was a final . . . plus, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson were on the court to hand me the trophy and be in the picture with me and the number 1,000. I was happy I didn’t mess it up.”

The 17-time major winner converted five of his six breakpoint chances and saved the only one he faced against Kamke, finding his touch quickly and dispelling prematch rumours that he might be carrying an injury.

Raonic, also back in action for the first time this season, defeated Croatia’s Ivan Dodig 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-4 and will next meet Lucas Pouille, who upset sixth-seeded David Goffin 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-3.

While the top-ranked women have succumbed to injuries or inconsistency in the first week of the season, Victoria Azarenka has

maintained her surge in form.

The two-time Australian Open champion reached the Brisbane International semifinals by beating eighth-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-2.

She has dropped just 10 games en route to the semis, where she’ll meet Samantha Crawford, a U.S. qualifier who beat Andrea Pektovic 6-3, 6-0.

Azarenka, who was limited to 23 tournaments across the last two seasons because of injuries, was broken once in each set but converted seven of her 11 breakpoint chances against Vinci, who ended Serena Williams’ bid for a true Grand Slam in the U.S. Open semifinals.

“I really had to take control in my own hands, because she comes up with some really difficult situations and combinations which keep you on your toes,” Azarenka said.

Fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber advanced past Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-4, 6-4, and will next play No. 6-seeded Carla Suarez

Navarro, who held off Varvara Lepchenko 4-6, 6-4, 7-5.

At the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, third-seeded Caroline Wozniacki reached the semifinals with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Alexandra Dalgheru.

“I really hit it well, I went for my shots,” said Wozniacki, who made only eight unforced errors.

“I came to the net — I didn’t even know I could volley like that, so I was pleasantly surprised.”

Wozniacki has a 5-0 record against her semifinal opponent, Sloane Stephens, who advanced 7-6 (6), 6-3 over British qualifier Naomi Broady.

In other quarterfinals, Tamira Paszek beat fellow qualifier Kirsten Flipkens 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-3 and Julia Goerges outlasted Nao Hibino 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-4.

At the Hopman Cup in Perth, Ukraine qualified for Saturday’s final with singles wins over the Australia Gold team of Jarmila Wolfe and Lleyton Hewitt.

Strong field in midseason form at the start of the new year DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAPALUA, Hawaii — The Plantation Course at Kapalua was considered the ideal start to the PGA Tour.

The idyllic setting on the west end of Maui made it feel like a working vacation, and the generous fairways — some 80 yards wide on some hole — were nearly impossible to miss even for players who were trying to shake off rust from their long winter’s nap.

These days, a new year brings midseason form.

Patrick Reed is the defending champion in the Hyundai Tourna-

ment of Champions, and he had little reason to worry about his form. He played in Hong Kong, Malaysia, twice in China, Dubai and The Bahamas in a seven-week span, and then went home for three weeks before resuming his year.

Reed finished in the top 10 in all six of those events.

“I feel like my game is the best it’s ever been,” Reed said.

That three weeks over Christmas (along with his anniversary) amounted to the longest break he had all year.

So much for this being considered one of the easiest events to win on

the PGA Tour. There once was a notion that of the 30 or so PGA Tour winners, half of them were still shaking off the rest, and about a dozen more had never seen such a dramatic course built on a mountain.

Stuart Appleby won three years in a row. Geoff Ogilvy won twice in a row.

Both are from Australia and played a lot Down Under during the so-called break.

It’s different now.

“The month changed. The year changed,” Jordan Spieth said. “When you write the date . . . that’s about it in my mind. We’ve just had a little bit of a break, and I’ve had plenty

of playing and practice to be plenty ready to try and win this week.”

Here’s how the first tournament of the new year is shaping up on Maui:

most picturesque on the PGA Tour — a dramatic drop toward the green, with Pacific Ocean in the background.

FOR STARTERS: Smylie Kaufman gets the honour of hitting the first shot of 2016.

Kaufman only got his PGA Tour card three months ago. In his second event, he won in Las Vegas by posting a 61 in the final round and waiting nearly two hours to see if anyone could catch him.

And now he’s on Maui with the rest of the winners.

The first tee shot might be the

THE SCENERY: Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore designed the Plantation Course, and it’s different from anything the players will see all year.

There are dramatic shifts in elevation, force carry over gorges and a few blind shots off the tee.

It’s easy to get caught up with the views, particularly with humpback whales breeching. Consider what happened to Rickie Fowler during a practice round Sunday.

BEYOND THE COLOUR BAR FILMMAKER DAMON KWAME MASON AT A TORONTO COMMUNITY RINK AS HE PROMOTES HIS FILM ‘SOUL ON ICE.’ [THE THE CANADIAN PRESS] PRESS]

Documentary looks at race and the NHL LAUREN LA ROSE THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — As Damon Kwame Mason’s childhood love of hockey reignited in his later years, he couldn’t help but notice the lack of visible role models in the NHL. “That burning question was always in my mind: ‘How come there’s not a lot of black players in this league up until now?”’ recalled the Toronto native, who played organized hockey for two years and grew up idolizing Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur.

In Soul on Ice: Past, Present & Future, the filmmaker explores the involvement of black athletes in hockey from the minors to the NHL. The award-winning documentary delves deeper into the legacy of players who broke racial barriers and overcame tremendous adversity to leave their mark on the game.

Damon will join NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Capitals owner Ted Leonsis at a private screening of the film in Washington on Jan. 13. Retired NHL stars Grant Fuhr, Anson Carter, Kevin Weekes and Willie O’Ree — the first black hockey player in the NHL — are among the invited guests.

The event will launch for a variety of NHL activities coinciding with Black History Month in February, and continuing through March with Hockey Is For Everyone Month.

Mason was inspired to further explore the history of black hockey players after moving to

‘I think it shows that hockey has been a diversified game for a long time.’

Edmonton in 2005, where he worked as a radio announcer. He befriended members of the Oilers, including now-retired Georges Laraque with whom he co-hosted a show.

Mason learned of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes formed in Halifax in 1895 — 22 years before the NHL was born.

“I was floored, because at that time I was in my 30s and I thought to myself: ‘If I don’t know this information . . . how many Canadians don’t know this information? How many black Canadians don’t know this information?

Even Fuhr, a Hall of Fame goaltender, said he had little knowledge of the league and was fascinated by its history.

“I think it shows that hockey has been a diversified game for a long time — it’s just that people didn’t realize it,” said the seven-time allstar, who won five Stanley Cups with the Oilers.

The film also turns its lens on other trailblazers like Herb Carnegie, whom Mason interviewed just over a week before his death in 2012.

Carnegie suited up for the Quebec Aces and could have been the NHL’s first black player. He was invited to the New York Rangers’ training camp in 1948, and was offered chances to play with the team’s farm club which he turned down because the pay was too low, citing discrimination.

The film also reveals the intense racial abuse faced by players like Toronto’s Mike Marson, who was drafted by the Washington Capitals in 1974 and received death threats.

“Imagine you have to focus on the game but you also have to focus on, ‘OK, is someone going to throw a battery at me? Who’s going to yell this and that about me?”’ said Mason.

“These are added pressures to a young player of colour — especially back then. Yet still, something else was in the back of their head saying: ‘Don’t give up . . . just keep fighting. We have a dream, we have a purpose, and nobody’s going to stop us.’”

Val James, the first American-born black player in the NHL, credited his family and teammates for encouraging him to persevere.

“Otherwise I probably would have at one

point decided, ‘Why should I have to put up with this?”’ said James, who played for the Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1980s.

“It didn’t matter where I was: Canada, the U.S. — there was some form of racism being thrown my way.”

The film also chronicles young players like prospect Jaden Lindo. Karl Subban, father of all-star Habs defenceman P.K. Subban, is also featured, as is younger son Malcolm.

The film also features NHL players like Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers and Joel Ward of the San Jose Sharks.

Despite increased diversity at the NHL level, neither have been immune from discriminatory acts.

Simmonds had a banana thrown at him during a pre-season game in London, Ont., in 2011. And while playing for the Capitals, Joel Ward was subjected to racial slurs on Twitter after his overtime goal eliminated the Boston Bruins from the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Both players shrugged off the respective incidents.

“They could have yelled, screamed, gave up and said, ‘Forget about it.’ Or they could have said, ‘I’m moving forward and I’m going to continue to score, I’m going to continue to be a winner,”’ Mason said.

“What example is better for our youth than to be a winner and to persevere through adversity.”

Toronto-born actress in JFK conspiracy saga film

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2016

Problem gifts can be redirected to charity

Sarah Gadon plays librarian in ‘11.22.63,’ which debuts Feb. 17 Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar

CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI THE CANADIAN PRESS

Annie’s Mailbox

TORONTO — Sarah Gadon is far too young to have been around when former U.S. president John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, but it wasn’t hard for the 28-year-old to become fascinated with the conspiracy theories that still live on.

The Toronto actress plays a 1960s librarian drawn into one of America’s most controversial tragedies in 11.22.63, a eight-part time-travelling miniseries executive produced by Star Wars director J.J. Abrams and based on the 2011 Stephen King novel of the same name.

James Franco plays Jake Epping, a modern-day high school teacher who goes back in time to try to stop the shooting and change the course of history. Things quickly become complicated as he falls in love with Gadon’s librarian, Sadie.

The whole operation is also threatened by the presence of Lee Harvey Oswald, not to mention the fact that the past itself doesn’t seem to want to be changed.

The period drama was shot in Toronto and Dallas, and Gadon said filming in the very city that witnessed these events had a palpable effect.

“When we went to Dallas to shoot the series I went to the JFK museum and I learned a lot about the different conspiracies and it was incredible,” said Gadon.

“We recreated the motorcade and it was actually really intense to be there.”

Gadon said she was enthralled by the romantic arc of King’s book

Sarah Gadon at the The 2015 Toronto Film Critics Association Awards in Toronto on Tuesday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

and there’s more to the show than a simple revisit of the oft-dissected historical event.

“They do have a sweeping classic romance and it’s really beautiful and I think James did such a great job,” said Gadon Her other credits include The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Maps to the Stars and Cosmopolis.

“He’s an incredible actor and it was really special to be able to work opposite him.”

Gadon said Abrams came to set a few times, but was understandably busy with another project at the time.

“He was kind of making Star Wars so he wasn’t around all the time,” she said. “But I think it has all the kind of classic American storytelling that he . . . has made his name for.”

11.22.63 debuts in Canada on Super Channel on Feb. 17, two days after it hits the U.S. streaming service Hulu on President’s Day.

“ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR, SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN.” SCOTT MENDELSON,

Dear Annie: My wife and I are elderly and no longer enjoy things like fancy candies and fruit. We have tried to subtly let family and friends know this, but they persist, on frequent occasions, in sending us expensive edibles from elegant places, which we then regift to others. (This isn’t easy, as most of our friends are also elderly and won’t enjoy the epicurean treats.)

We feel that, to be polite, we must thank the givers. But the truth is, we would much prefer that they use the money to make a donation to charity.

Is there a polite way for us to tell them this without appearing to be rude and ungrateful?

— Anonymous Dear Anonymous: We suspect these people are trying to be kind and don’t know what else to get you. You must thank them. But when an occasion is coming up where you know they are likely to send you such things, inform them in advance that you no longer eat candy or fancy fruits.

Say that you are making a concerted effort to do more good in your lives, and if they insist on honouring you, a gift to such-and-such charity would mean the world to you.

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for a long time. In the last couple of years, she has developed an incontinence problem.

She leaves rather fragrant underwear in the hamper, and the odour is horrible. If I bring up the subject, she gets very angry. She is in denial.

I wish I could suggest to her what her options are, what products are available for this problem and to wash her underwear more thoroughly. The odour is so strong, guests coming into the house can smell it. Maybe she simply can’t tell how bad it is. What do you suggest I do?

What do you suggest she do? This is a fairly urgent matter. Thank you.

— Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: Your wife might be surprised to learn that incontinence affects more than 25 million people in the U.S., and most cases are treatable. There are different types of incontinence: Stress incontinence (leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh); urge incontinence (a sudden need to use the bathroom, usually due to other conditions, such as an infection); overflow incontinence (the bladder doesn’t completely empty when you use the toilet); functional incontinence (wherein a physical or mental impairment creates a problem, such as severe arthritis that makes it difficult to unzip fast enough); or mixed incontinence (more than one type).

We know this is a sensitive subject, but you absolutely must speak to your wife about it.

She would be mortified to realize that others notice the odour. She might be more willing to address it with her doctor if you tell her that incontinence can indicate a more serious underlying medical condition. And she might be reassured to know that she might be able to control the problem through medication and/or pelvic exercises. For information, you both can contact the National Association for Continence at nafc.org.

Obama has harsh words for U.S. National Rifle Association

WEATHER

ownership while arguing it was consistent with his efforts to curb violence and mass shootings.

“The NRA has convinced many of its members that somebody’s going to come grab your guns,” Obama said, describing it as a ploy to drive up sales of guns. “If you listen to the rhetoric, it is so over the top, and so overheated.”

Obama said he’s always been willing to meet with the NRA to discuss gun policies — if they’re willing to address the facts truthfully.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FAIRFAX, Va. — U.S. President Barack Obama tore into the National Rifle Association on Thursday as he sought support for his actions on gun control, accusing the powerful lobby group of peddling an “imaginary fiction” that he said has distorted the national debate about gun violence.

In a prime-time, televised town hall meeting, Obama defended his support for the constitutional right to gun

Polar vortex about to snow on El Nino’s party Eastern U.S. may see dramatic changes from balmy weather SETH BORENSTEIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Get ready for weather whiplash as powerful climatic forces elbow each other for starring roles in a weird winter show.

The spine-chilling polar vortex is taking centre stage in Europe and bringing persistent cold to much of North America — except in Hollywood, where soggy El Nino won’t give up the spotlight.

El Nino delivered a balmy Christmas Eve to the eastern U.S. and shattered national records with a warm, wet and wild December, but meteorologists say the situation is about to change.

“Temperature will be dominated by the impact of the polar vortex,” said Judah Cohen, seasonal forecast chief for the private Atmospheric and Environmental Research company outside Boston.

It will feel similar to 2013 and 2014, he said.

For a winter this dramatic, it may help to consult the program: THE CAST The star is El Nino, a veteran of this stage for a few decades now.

This natural warming of the central tropical Pacific occurs every two to seven years or so, and changes weather worldwide, especially in the Americas and Asia. It is closely associated with heavy rain in California, and general warming. It has less effect in Europe because that’s further away. With its flipside, La Nina, it is known as the El Nino Southern Oscillation, and it lasts about a year.

Playing off against El Nino is the Arctic Oscillation, and its index measures differences in atmospheric pressure between the Arctic and mid-latitudes. When the AO is positive in the winter, polar air stays trapped up north and the

“Temperature will be dominated by the impact of the polar vortex.”

Judah Cohen, Atmospheric and Environmental Research

weather is relatively mild further south. When the AO is negative, the cold Arctic air escapes and plunges into lower latitudes, treating the United States and Europe to the polar vortex — a swirling air mass that carries spine-chilling temperatures.

The North Atlantic Oscillation is a bit player with a big influence over Europe’s weather. As with its Arctic cousin, the more negative its index, the colder the continent becomes.

The jet streams also are important to watch. These rivers of air heavily influence local weather everywhere, carrying storms and clearing skies around the planet. Usually in the winter, the jet stream that affects most people in the United States and Europe moves relatively straight from west to east. But when it weakens, it can plunge south and north and even get stuck at times, creating odd extremes.

ACT ONE This was last month. El Nino appeared in classic form, tying 1997-1998 for the strongest on record. The Arctic Oscillation was very positive, trapping cold air in northern latitudes. With so many warm, wet days further south, spring flowers popped up and trees bloomed in December.

“It’s not surprising we were 70 degrees on Christmas Day,” said Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-

tration’s Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.

El Nino often spawns winter tornadoes in the southern U.S. and they appeared on cue, killing two dozen people in just four days. The heavy rain that flooded the Mississippi River Valley isn’t usually an El Nino signature though, Cohen said.

ACT TWO The switch flipped: The Arctic Oscillation and its North Atlantic sidekick went negative big time.

“When it’s a negative AO, that’s when people start mentioning the words ’polar vortex’,” Halpert said.

This time, there’s cold air, but it’s mostly dry so far, despite El Nino, which still spawns a series of rainstorms hitting California.

Meteorologists say wetter weather could bring heavy snowstorms, but that’s not likely for another week or more, although cities along the Great Lakes may get lake effect snow.

So far the east-moving moisture from El Nino is staying south of the Arctic plunge, but that may change.

ACT THREE No spoilers here. Will the polar vortex hold the stage for weeks or months? Will the cold AO and wet El Nino combine for whopper snowstorms?

Rutgers’ Francis doesn’t think the moisture and the cold can keep avoiding each other, saying “we’re going to have major major dumps of snow. We just don’t know where.”

Furtado predicts El Nino will push aside the cold in America, but not in Europe, where it has less of an influence. Cohen is less certain about what will happen as these forces morph and interact over time.

Ricky Gervais returns as host for the 73rd Annual Golden Globes

By Cassie Dresch TV Media

W

ith the New Year in full swing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to kick the major awards season into high gear as well, and it starts at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. A familiar face is back to host, and the best and brightest of television and film are gathered for the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, airing Sunday, Jan. 10, on NBC and CTV. British comedian Ricky Gervais (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;?) returns to the show heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosted thrice before, in 2010, 2011 and 2012. His brand of comedy has always been a little on the edge, and after insulting practically everyone in the room in 2011, it looked like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be blacklisted from the event for forever. But he was back by popular demand in 2012 before handing over the reins to Amy Poehler (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parks and Recreationâ&#x20AC;?) and Tina Fey (â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 Rockâ&#x20AC;?), who hosted the last three Golden Globe Awards to popular and critical acclaim.

If there was any bad blood between Gervais and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the organization that runs the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone now, and the funnyman is gearing up for his fourth turn as Golden Globes host. Fair warning, though: Gervais (still) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tame this goaround. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go out there and pretend that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got swagger,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be an outsider, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to stick it to the man. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be court jester. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have a go at NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press and all the billionaires.â&#x20AC;?

He does this, he says, because the audience heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to reach and make laugh isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the bedecked celebs in the room, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the regular folks at home in their living rooms.

2

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing in it for them, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not winning awards,â&#x20AC;? he said to THR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think that that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to try to make it more of a spectator sport.â&#x20AC;?

Whatever he does do to it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to be entertaining, especially considering he was nominated for Emmys for his hosting duties at both the 68th and 69th editions of the Golden Globes. He also has Golden Globes of his own for the U.K. sitcom â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;? (which has two) and its U.S. counterpart of the same name (which has one).

There are a lot of statues to hand out to the best of both film AND television from the past year. Generating the most buzz, as is usually the case, are the film nominations. The Golden Globes are typically seen as the precursor to the Oscars, with many of the Best Motion Picture, Actor and Actress nominees and winners seeing similar results at the Academy Awards.

One of the big names to look out for in that sense is Leonardo DiCaprio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Revenantâ&#x20AC;? star is up for Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama (the movie itself is up for Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director and Best Score), and if he wins, it could pave the way for the oftsnubbed actor to (finally) take a home a much-deserved Oscar.

On the TV side, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fargo,â&#x20AC;? from FX, is again getting a lot of love, notching nominations for Best TV Movie or Miniseries, Best Actress in a TV Movie or Limited Series (Kirsten Dunst) and Best Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series (Patrick Wilson). Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empireâ&#x20AC;? is also continuing its string of praises, getting a nod for Best Drama Series and Best Actress in a Drama Series (Taraji P. Henson). FX could be a big winner too, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Horror Story: Hotelâ&#x20AC;? nabbing a Best TV Movie or Miniseries nod and Lady Gaga impressively grabbing a Best Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries nod.

TBS breaks new ground with ‘Angie Tribeca’

By Shona Dustan TV Media Serious comedy: TBS is turning all television industry traditions on their heads and releasing the first season of its new half-hour cop comedy, “Angie Tribeca,” in one long, commercialfree run.

All 10 episodes of the first season run back-to-back on TBS Sunday, Jan. 17, at 9 p.m., and then keep running again and again until Monday, Jan. 18, at 10 p.m. This 25-hour marathon will cycle through the first season five times, and here’s where the network’s plan gets even more weird — though the series hasn’t even premiered yet, TBS has already renewed the comedy for a second season, which premieres Monday, Jan. 25, and will air in a normal, weekly fashion.

The anticipated comedy is the brainchild of Steve Carell (“The Office”) and his talented wife, Nancy (“The Goode Family”). It follows troubled cop Angie (Rashida Jones, “Parks and Recreation”) as she navigates an existential crisis of sorts, treating every farcical moment with the most sincere sobriety. It’s a parody of the intense, uberserious crime thrillers that seem so prevalent today — in fact, many critics are calling it a spoof of HBO’s “True Detective” specifically.

But reducing the show to a mere spoof of some other work is selling “Angie Tribeca” short. While it is, by and large, a parody of the sombre cop drama genre, the series stands on its own as an absurdist comedy. Stars Jere Burns (“Justified”), Hayes MacArthur (“Go On”), Andree Vermeulen (“Dragons: Race to the Edge”) and Jones are in top comedic form, and the series is sprinkled with comedy royalty such as Lisa Kudrow (“Friends”) and Bill Murray (“Saturday Night Live”).

TBS obviously believes in this project and has thrown all convention out the window to help it make the splash it thinks it deserves. Mere curiosity should be enough to get viewers to tune in en masse when “Angie Tribeca” premieres Sunday, Jan. 17, on TBS.

Physical reality: WWE professional wrestler John Cena (“Trainwreck,” 2015) is headed to the small screen, but not in his usual capacity. This spring, Cena is stepping out of the ring and into the new role of reality television host.

Fox has picked up “American Grit,” a reality competition that pits teams of civilians against each other as they’re put through military-grade training and survival-themed exercises.

“The U.S. military is the epitome of resolve and dedication, which is why I am so excited to be a part of ‘American Grit,’” Cena said in a news release.

“This show will not only be a challenging and fierce competition, but it will give viewers a glimpse into the perseverance and training of the men and women of the armed forces.”

In each of the 10 episodes of the series, Cena and a team of military-trained experts push each group to their limits.

The first team to complete a challenge is safe from elimination, but each episode includes a run through “the Circus,” a punishing obstacle course designed to be so intense that many competitors cannot make it through, weeding out the weakest of each bunch.

Brent Montgomery, executive producer for the show, praises Cena and the work he does, saying that “with John as their inspiration, our contestants will show viewers what happens when you swing for the fences with focus, commitment and teamwork.”

Q&A

Late laughs Conan The makers of Budweiser and Miller are considering a merger that would make them the world’s largest brewer. At first they weren’t planning to merge, but after a few beers, each started looking really good.

The Olive Garden is bringing back its “Pasta Pass,” which lets you eat as much pasta as you want for seven weeks. In a related story, Chris Christie just suspended his campaign.

Lyft has a new promotion where you can get a discount on Justin Bieber’s latest album. Meanwhile, if you take Uber, you could be driven by one of the Backstreet Boys.

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert In Mississippi, a sinkhole swallowed 12 cars in an IHOP parking lot. It’s being called “the smallest thing ever swallowed at a Mississippi IHOP.” During a debate, Marco Rubio said: “We need more welders and less philosophers.”

Graduates with a philosophy degree were so furious, they got on their parents’ computers and wrote angry emails.

The American Postal Workers Union has endorsed Bernie Sanders. They like Bernie because he’s the only candidate who’s old enough to still be using the U.S Postal Service.

According to new research, the number of obese women has overtaken the number of obese men. Or as that’s being called by women’s groups, “breaking the glass floor.”

The Late Late Show with James Corden If you went shopping on Black Friday, I assume you are watching this on a brand-new 60-inch flat screen from the comfort of your brand-new full-body cast.

I don’t think people who participate in Black Friday are there for the bargains.

It seems like they go for a socially acceptable excuse to punch a stranger in the face.

It must be awkward when you get the TV home and there’s a little red spot in the corner of the screen and your family is like, “What’s that?” And you’re like, “It’s blood.”

MTV announced that the generation after millennials will be known as “the founders,” because their job will be to restore order to the society that the millennials apparently disrupted. The term “founder” would apply to anyone age 15 or younger. Or as MTV knows them as, “moms.”

Late Night With Seth Meyers A classic model Bentley owned

by Keith Richards sold for $1.2 million and features a secret compartment for storing drugs. The compartment is called Keith Richards.

New research has found that, contrary to popular belief, it could be beneficial for women to eat and drink while in labour. Though I don’t think the other people in the restaurant would be too happy about it.

Friday was “World Vasectomy Day.” Which meant that Saturday was Frozen Peas Day.

Q: Is Elliott Gould still working?

A: As hard as ever, but he’s all over the place, so you may have missed him.

Indeed, it’s possible that you’ve just been looking for the big-screen great in the wrong places — that is, on the big screen. He’s taken a TV turn lately.

Those with fancy cable can see Gould in Showtime’s “Ray Donovan.”

Those without it may have seen him in Fox’s short-lived sitcom “Mulaney.”

Those without televisions at all may have heard him, at least, doing a voice in “Oscar’s Hotel for Fantastical Creatures,” a miniseries produced by The Jim Henson Company for the online channel Vimeo.

TV viewers might be seeing a lot more of him soon in the CBS series “Doubt,” if it’s picked up. It’s currently at the pilot stage, due to air some time this year.

As for what he’s doing now, “Doubt” isn’t the only new project Gould has signed up for.

He’s agreed to narrate “To Begin the World Over Again,” a made-for-TV biography of the great American political philosopher Thomas Paine. He also has a role in an independent Brazilian film (because apparently that’s the sort of thing you can do when you get to his career stage) called “Romancing Brazil,” due out next year, as well as a role in the fantasy-drama “The History of Love,” being released this year as well.

Q: Several of the presidential front-runners are appearing in TV shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “The View.” Is this a new trend, or have I just never noticed?

A: I would argue that it is a new trend, but not a new phenomenon.

The phenomenon actually dates back to a young senator and presidential hopeful named John F. Kennedy, who appeared in “The Tonight Show” back in 1960 when it was hosted by Jack Paar.

That was a pretty serious affair, though, and didn’t look much different than an appearance on a political show would.

Most cite Bill Clinton’s appearance in “The Arsenio Hall Show” in 1992 as the first time a presidential candidate really had fun with it. However, in doing so they ignore a much earlier instance in 1968 when Republican candidate Richard Nixon appeared in the hippy-

Mid-Island TV Scene

themed sketch comedy show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.” Granted, he only appeared on screen for about six seconds.

These were all memorable, but isolated, moments. In terms of the current landscape, Vogue magazine’s Patricia Garcia argued earlier this year that there is a trend toward candidates appearing on talk shows, and the sitting president is the man who started it.

“The truth is, nobody does talk shows better than POTUS.” (That’s president of the United States, for those of you not in the loop.) “After Obama gave late-night TV his presidential stamp of approval, politicians now make a point of visiting talk shows when campaigning.”

Q: Has the girl who played Amy Pond in “Doctor Who” done anything else since?

A: Quite a bit. Indeed, Karen Gillan’s career can be pretty neatly divided into pre- and post-”Doctor Who” phases, and the post phase has been far busier.

After being discharged by “Doctor Who” in 2012, she starred in another TV show and appeared in a number of films, one of which happened to be the second-highest grossing film of 2014.

She played Nebula, an intergalactic assassin, in the comic book hit “Guardians of the Galaxy.” And as is often the case with these Marvel movies, she’ll be back for the sequel in 2017.

She just recently appeared in the even more star-studded financial comedy “The Big Short,” opposite Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling and other notably attractive people.

She also starred in the ABC sitcom “Selfie,” which only lasted a season back in 2014. She’s climbed back up on the TV horse, though, and will be appearing soon in the HBO drama series “The Devil You Know,” about the Salem witch trials.

Compare all that to her pre-”Doctor Who” days, when she had only done a few one-off roles on TV, two small film roles and a supporting role in the shortlived sketch comedy series “The Kevin Bishop Show.”

Interestingly, her pre-”Doctor Who” phase also includes an appearance in “Doctor Who.” But not in a time-travel way — one of her early one-off TV roles was a small guest spot in a 2008 episode, playing a “soothsayer.”
