B.C. GETS FIVE YEARS TO REPAY HST DEBT TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)

COP ACCUSED OF STEALING COCAINE

The B.C. and federal governments have agreed to a five-year interest-free repayment schedule for the $1.6 billion harmonized sales tax transition fund, but the deal does not change the province’s deficit position.

B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said yesterday the interest break will save B.C. $118 million in interest costs, since the money doesn’t have to be borrowed all at once to repay by the March 31 deadline. Instead Ottawa will accept five annual transfers of $320 million each.

The entire repayment is still being charged to the province’s books in the current fiscal year, which ends this spring. Combined with reduced provincial revenues and slightly increased spending, B.C.’s deficit for this year is forecast to be $3.1 billion.

The terms of the referendum where voters opted out of the HST require the province to restore the PST with the charges and exemptions that existed prior to July 2010. A panel of tax experts has been appointed to review the PST

A high-ranking RCMP officer in the Merritt detachment will likely make an appearance at the Kamloops courthouse in the coming weeks facing theft charges after allegedly stealing cocaine from seized exhibits.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Stuart Seib – detachment commander in Merritt – is alleged to have stolen drugs from the same exhibit more than once.

RCMP Chief Supt. Mike Sekela, the officer in charge of the RCMP’s B.C. Southeast District, announced in a statement yesterday that Seib would be facing theft charges.

Court records do not show any charges as of yet.

Seib, who has been with the RCMP for nearly two decades, served as the officer-in-charge of the Clearwater detachment prior to his transfer to the Nicola Valley last November.

Investigators became aware of the alleged theft on Jan. 6, and Seib was arrested yesterday.

In a statement, Sekela said Seib has been suspended until further notice.

“While the alleged actions of this member are extremely troubling, they are clearly not representative of the high moral and ethical standards of the vast majority of the members of the RCMP,” he said.

Sekela said senior RCMP managers have met with members of the Merritt detachment and advised them of the situation.

Sekela said Seib has had his badge and gun seized, and had his access to RCMP facilities revoked.

When the HST was rejected, the finance ministry estimated it would bring in an additional $600 million in revenues in each of the next two years, based on economic growth and extending the sevenper-cent provincial portion of the sales tax to a variety of services.

Former premier Bill Vander Zalm, who spearheaded the petition to repeal the HST, said both the federal and provincial governments are dragging out the transition period to benefit their bottom

line and that of businesses.

Businesses will have to forgo input tax credits available under the HST, and convert cash registers and accounting systems back to collecting the GST and PST separately.

Low-income B.C. residents will lose HST rebates starting in 2013.

The total cost to B.C. of going back to the PST has been estimated at about $3 billion.

Transition rules for businesses switching from the HST back to the former provincial sales tax are expected to be announced by March 31, the end of the current fiscal year.

ELIGIBILITY RESTORED FOR GAMBLING GRANTS TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)

Adult sports and arts groups, environmental and animal welfare agencies will once again be eligible to apply for grants from the B.C. government’s gambling revenues.

Those groups were made ineligible after the government cut the budget for community grants following the recession of 2008. They can again apply for grants, but the total fund remains at $135 million, where it was set by Premier Christy Clark last year.

Shortly after taking over as premier, Clark restored $15 million of the $36 million that was cut from the fund, and appointed former Kwantlen University president Skip Triplett to hold hearings around the province.

Clark and Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong released Triplett’s report yesterday, and promised to keep working on a way to provide multi-year funding for community groups instead of making them apply every year for grants.

Clark said the financial pressure on the B.C. government made it difficult to maintain the grant budget at $135 million, and did not allow the province to restore it to its 2008 peak of $156 million.

The province will also increase

support for other organizations that have experienced funding cuts in the past three years, including fairs, festivals, youth arts and community services, as well as the B.C. Summer Games, she said.

NDP critic Shane Simpson said that Triplett’s effort to hear from community groups was sincere, but Clark has essentially ignored it. “(Clark) has expanded the eligibility, but not increased the size of

the pot, so there will essentially be more groups looking for a smaller pot of money,” Simpson said.

The B.C. government now takes in about $1 billion a year from casinos, pub games, online gambling and lotteries.

Triplett’s report said the grant program was established in 1998, to replace revenue charitable groups raised by running their own casinos and bingo games.

HOCKEY RIOTERS DESERVE JAIL TIME: VPD CHIEF VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)

Vancouver’s police chief is hoping the courts come down on some Stanley Cup rioters with hard jail time, but says that won’t be appropriate in all cases. Jim Chu says it’s possible some people who have been charged don’t deserve jail time, but others were involved in violent mayhem and the chief notes one of his officers was injured after being hit in the head with a brick. Last week, a 20-year-old Coquitlam man was the first person to plead guilty for participating in a riot, and he’ll be sentenced next month.

A suspicious vehicle parked early Monday morning caught the attention of a Victoria police dog handler out on patrol.

The vehicle was parked, but was then spotted slowly pulling away around 1:30 a.m., Victoria police Deputy Chief John Ducker said on the department’s operations blog. The officer pulled the vehicle over and the driver subsequently blew a ‘warn’ on a roadside breathalyzer test. The vehicle was impounded, and the man, who was prohibited from driving, told police he planned to walk to his girlfriend’s home nearby.

Welfare challenge —

SURREY MLA IS RUNNING LOW ON MONEY KEVIN DIAKIW (Surrey Leader)

Ten days into his experiment living on welfare rates, MLA Jagrup Brar has $55 left in his account and thinks he’ll be completely out of money by Jan. 20.

Brar, the MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, accepted Raise the Rates’ welfare challenge to live on $610 for the month of January. He has spent $375 for rent and has bought a bus pass and some groceries, and has just over $55 left.

“My money is running out more quickly than I thought,” Brar said. “I will run out of money some day, then I have to survive and find food where people who don’t have any resources find food.” He says that could include binning (diving into dumpsters).

Asked if he’d eat the food he finds in a garbage bin,

Brar said he wasn’t sure.

On Tuesday, he said the first 10 days of the challenge have been extremely hard.

One of the most frightening nights he’s had was the second day, when he slept at a North Surrey shelter.

Before going in, a lady came up to him and said she had a terrible time sleeping, because a man had placed a knife and a hammer between them.

When Brar laid down that night, he found himself beside the same man, spending the first few hours awake, staring at a knife and hammer.

“I never thought I would be able to sleep all night,” Brar said, adding he managed to get a few hours of shuteye.

He is blogging about his experience at mlaonwelfare.com

FIRST MOTORCYCLE FATALITY OF THE YEAR IN MISSION MISSION RECORD (Black Press)

A Mission motorcyclist was killed yesterday on Lougheed Highway. The 50-year-old man was riding his Harley Davidson westbound east of the visitor’s booth just before 6 p.m. when it collided with the passenger side of a Dodge Durango. An off-duty Mission firefighter and corrections officer attempted CPR on the motorcyclist, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger in the Durango was taken to hospital with leg injuries.

The exact cause of the collision is still under investigation.

Supt. Bob Williams was testifying at the inquiry into the Pickton case yesterday because he conducted an internal review in 2002 of the RCMP’s work on the case, a review that offered a relatively positive assessment of the force’s investigation.

KINGSTON, Ont. (Canadian Press)

A woman accused of killing her three daughters and her husband’s other wife says her husband was very angry about finding condoms in their 17-year-old daughter’s room.

Tooba Yahya, 42, is testifying in her own defence in Kingston, Ont., where she, her husband Mohammad Shafia and their son Hamed are charged with four counts of firstdegree murder.

She has testified that Shafia got very upset when condoms were found in their daughter Sahar’s room, but that they weren’t found until after her death.

The Crown alleges the family was angry about their daughters’ dating habits before they died, and that it in fact precipitated their deaths.

It’s alleged that Shafia sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17 and Geeti, 13, along with Shafia’s first wife in a polygamous marriage were killed over family honour.

Their bodies were found June 30, 2009, in a car at the bottom of a canal in Kingston, when the Montreal family was on their way home from a trip to Niagara Falls, Ont. Yahya has been on the stand for three full days, and cross-examination is set to continue today.

The trial, which started Oct. 20, is expected to wrap up some time this month.

UNCERTAINTY LINGERS OVER RWANDA DEPORTATION MONTREAL (Canadian Press)

Despite a deportation order, a Rwandan man accused of helping to incite the 1994 genocide may be staying put for now. Leon Mugesera was ordered to be deported yesterday after a Federal Court ruled against his last-ditch effort to stay in the country he’s called home for nearly two decades.

Mugesera’s lawyer says the United Nations Committee Against Torture has ordered Canada to keep him here while it investigates his claims he’ll be tortured in Rwanda.

“Our government is committed to moving our relationship with China forward by focusing on deepening economic ties, including opening new markets, and setting the foundation for long-term growth.”

Harper said last month that he was ready to revisit China, but was waiting for the Beijing government to get back to him with a date.

Chinese Premier Hu Jintao formally invited Harper back to China late last year, following the prime minister’s first trip in December 2009.

China has since invested billions of dollars into energy projects in Alberta’s oilsands, while the Tories have worked hard to repair relations and boost trade with the Asian economic power.

Energy issues will undoubtedly dominate any discussion between Harper and his Chinese counterparts. China has a voracious appetite for oil, gas and natural resources to power its economic growth.

MORE NAMES ADDED TO MOST WANTED IMMIGRATION LIST MONTREAL (Canadian Press)

The federal government has added another 30 names to its so-called most-wanted list of people it hopes to expel from the country.

The list is the third released by the government since last July; those being pursued this time are alleged to have ties to organized crime abroad and are deemed a threat to Canadian society. Initially, the government sought out suspected war criminals believed to be living in Canada.

HOMICIDE FALLS AMISH MEN FACE WILL AND KATE OFF LIST OF TOP U.S. UNVEIL GIFTS JAIL TIME OVER TRIANGLE PROTEST CAUSES OF DEATH FROM CANADA

PAKISTAN DEFENCE FINANCIAL CRISIS MINISTER FIRED AMID MAY LEAD TO POLITICAL CRISIS SOCIAL UNREST

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP)

ATLANTA (AP)

LONDON (AP)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP)

LONDON (AP)

A group of conservative Amish men in western Kentucky have become scofflaws in their protest against a state law requiring orange safety triangles on their horse-drawn buggies.

Nine members of the Swartzentruber order in rural Graves County have refused to pay fines for not using the triangles, and eight of them have spent time in jail. The men believe that the orange triangle is garish and violates their faith’s orders to live simple, plain lives. They prefer using grey reflective tape and lanterns to make their buggies visible to motorists.

For the first time in 45 years, homicide has fallen off the list of the top causes of death in the United States.

U.S. health officials say the murder rate fell enough in 2010 to drop it out of the top 15 causes.

Criminologists have not reached a consensus about what’s been driving murder rates down in recent years.

Moving up to take homicide’s place on the list was a respiratory condition that mainly kills people 75 and older.

The top two causes of death are heart disease and cancer, which account for almost half of all U.S. deaths.

The new Duchess of Cambridge was showered with gifts – from head to toe – on her first overseas visit as a member of the royal family.

Palace records show that Canadian officials and well-wishers gave the former Kate Middleton hats, tartan and peacock fascinators and three pairs of shoes during her visit to the country with Prince William last year.

William’s gifts included shirts, cufflinks, a pilot’s helmet from a unit of the Royal Canadian Air Force, and a Canadian Ranger patrol knife. Governor General David Johnson gave the couple a quilt.

Pakistan’s government fired the defence secretary yesterday and the army warned of “grievous consequences” for the country, escalating a political and legal crisis that some believe could end in the dismissal of government. Retired Lt. Gen. Naeem Khalid Lodhi was dismissed for “gross misconduct and illegal action” and replaced with a bureaucrat close to Prime Minister Yousuf Reza Gilani, the government said in a statement. The developments were sign of near-open conflict between the army and the government in a nation that has seen repeated military coups in its six-decade history.

The World Economic Forum is warning that the financial crisis that has gripped the global economy for the past few years is fueling resentment that could lay the seeds for a rising tide of protectionism, nationalism and protests. In its assessment of the risks to the global economy, the Forum flags a “dystopian future” for much of humanity that could wipe out the gains achieved so far by globalization. The Forum publishes its assessment of risks to the global economy each year ahead of its meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

This year’s summit begins on Jan. 25.

Iran blames assassination on Israel —

BLAST KILLS IRAN NUCLEAR EXPERT TEHRAN, Iran (Associated Press)

Two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to the car of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility, killing him and another person yesterday, state TV reported. The slayings suggest a widening covert effort to set back Iran’s atomic program.

The attack in Tehran bore a strong resemblance to earlier killings of scientists working on the Iranian nuclear program. It is certain to amplify authorities’ claims of clandestine operations by Western powers and their allies The attack in Tehran to halt Iran’s nuclear advances. on Wednesday The blast killed bore a strong Mostafa Ahmadi resemblance to Roshan, a chemistry earlier killings of expert and a director of scientists working the Natanz uranium enrichon the Iranian ment facility in central Iran, nuclear program. state TV reported. State news agency IRNA said Roshan had “organizational links” to Iran’s nuclear agency, which suggests a direct role in key aspects of the program.

Natanz is Iran’s main enrichment site, but officials claimed earlier this week that they are expanding some operations to an underground site south of Tehran with more advanced equipment.

Tehran has accused Israel’s Mossad, the CIA and Britain’s spy agency of engaging in an underground “terrorism” campaign against nuclear-related targets, including at least three slayings since early 2010 and the release of a malicious computer virus known at Stuxnet in 2010 that temporarily disrupted controls of some centrifuges – a key component in nuclear fuel production.

All three countries have denied the Iranian accusa-

tions.

Israeli officials, however, have hinted about covert campaigns against Iran without directly admitting involvement.

On Tuesday, Israeli military chief Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz was quoted as telling a parliamentary panel that 2012 would be a “critical year” for Iran – in part because of “things that happen to it unnaturally.”

Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi said Israeli agents were behind the attack, but cannot “prevent progress” in what Iran claims are peaceful nuclear efforts.

FRENCH CAMERAMAN KILLED IN SYRIA BEIRUT (Associated Press)

A French cameraman was killed yesterday in Syria during a government-authorized trip to the restive city of Homs, the first Western journalist to be slain since the country’s uprising began 10 months ago, officials said.

The killing of Gilles Jacquier, 43, who worked for France-2 Television, was likely to become a rallying cry for both sides of the conflict, as President Bashar Assad’s regime and the opposition blame each other for a recent spate of mysterious attacks.

According to a reporter who was on the media trip, the group was hit by several grenades. As many as six Syrian Gilles Jacquier civilians also were killed, but the figure could not be confirmed, activists said.

“France-2 Television has just learned with great pain about the death of reporter Gilles Jacquier in Homs, Syria, in circumstances that must still be clarified,” the network said.

A Dutch freelance journalist was also wounded in Homs, a Dutch Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.

Thierry Thuillier, news director of France Televisions, the parent station of France-2, said Jacquier appeared to have been killed by a mortar or rocket as part of a series of attacks.

ROMNEY TAKES AIM AT SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA, S.C. (Associated Press)

Mitt Romney, fresh from a strong victory in New Hampshire, turned his attention yesterday to the southern state of South Carolina where he is perceived as too moderate and faces a fierce battle.

A rougher tone and a tougher ideological terrain await him in the state where evangelicals make up the base of the Republican Party. His rivals are banking on that to stop him, while Romney is looking to force them from the Mitt Romney’s race with a four-state campaign announced winning streak that that it raised $24 cuts through South million during the Carolina on Jan. 21 and last three months Florida 10 days later. of 2011, which Romney’s opponents, howunderscores his ever, will have to contend huge financial with his formidable camadvantage over his paign war chest.

GOP opponents.

Romney’s campaign announced that it raised $24 million US during the last three months of 2011. That means Romney raised $56 million in 2011 and underscores his huge financial advantage over his conservative rivals in South Carolina and beyond.

Romney posted a double-digit win Tuesday night in New Hampshire after winning by just eight votes the week before in Iowa.

His victory was expected; Romney is the former governor of the neighbouring state of Massachusetts, has a vacation home in New Hampshire and is a fre-

quent visitor to the state.

He conceded yesterday that he faces an uphill climb in South Carolina, where he finished fourth in 2008.

In an interview on a morning television news show he said, “I don’t know if we can win South Carolina.”

Still, Tuesday’s victory went a long way toward making him his party’s choice.

Romney garnered 39 per cent of the vote, a 16-percentage point advantage over his closest challenger, Texas congressman Ron Paul. A win in South Carolina primary and then Florida could make Romney all but unstoppable.

VAN DER SLOOT PLEADS GUILTY IN PERUVIAN KILLING

LIMA, Peru (Associated Press)

Joran van der Sloot pleaded guilty on Wednesday to the 2010 murder of a Peruvian woman he met at a Lima casino who was killed five years to the day after the unsolved disappearance in Aruba of an American teen in which he remains the main suspect.

“Yes, I want to plead guilty. I wanted from the first moment to confess sincerely,” he told the panel of three judges that will decide his fate. “I truly am sorry for this act. I feel very bad.”

Prosecutors are asking for a 30-year prison sentence. The 24-year-old Dutch citizen did not show emotion during his brief confession in fractured Spanish.

He bowed his head later when his lawyer argued that he killed Stephany Flores, 21, as a result of “extreme psychological trauma” he suffered from the fallout of the 2005 disappearance on the Caribbean island of Aruba of Natalee Holloway.

Van der Sloot continues to be dogged by the case of Holloway, a Mountain Brook, Alabama, 19-year-old who disappeared during a high school graduation trip to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba where Van der Sloot grew up.

She was last seen leaving a nightclub with him. Her body has never been found.

SUN SHINES AGAIN FOR WOODY ALLEN LOS ANGELES (Associated Press)

The chimes may have tolled midnight in Paris, but in Hollywood, it’s the dawn of another career revival for Woody Allen after his biggest hit in decades and a new round of awards accolades.

How much will the success of Midnight in Paris change the filmmaker’s career? Not one bit, says Allen.

In nearly 45 years of alternating between toast of the town and yesterday’s news, Allen has barely deviated from a simple formula: make a movie a year on an economical budget and avoid the show business baubles – counting box-office grosses, obsessing over reviews, glad-handing for awards – that would distract from his routine.

“I’ve managed to avoid over decades the hit-flop syndrome,” Allen said in an interview during a recent trip to Los Angeles. “Most filmmakers work in that spectrum, and they have the pluses and minuses. They get the delight and pleasure out of a great hit, and they love the awards, they love the parties, the opening-night parties, the premieres. The box-office returns are heady for them, and they love it. But when something doesn’t work, very often, they have trouble getting money for their next picture.

“I’ve never had that problem. I’ve never had their joys or their lows. I’ve just sort of existed since 1968 making films kind of on a low flame, burning on a

low flame. And that’s fine, because the fun for me is to make the picture.”

A clever romp examining people’s perpetual discontent with modern times, the film stars Owen Wilson as an American writer whose yearning for the 1920s Paris of Hemingway and Fitzgerald gives him a chance to spend some quality time with his idols.

Allen may not have been counting the grosses, but the rest of Hollywood was as Midnight in Paris became the independent-film success of the year with $56.4 million domestically and well over $100 million worldwide. The film also has four nominations at Sunday’s Golden Globes.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES MOVIE: NOT COMING SOON

PASADENA, Calif. (Associated Press)

The producers of Desperate Housewives say the series finale will leave a few loose ends hanging, but cautioned fans against awaiting a reunion movie.

Creator Marc Cherry said that eight seasons have given the series time to “plumb the depths” of the characters played by Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and others in the ensemble cast. Desperate Housewives will air its final episode this spring.

He’s very satisfied with where the series stands, Cherry told the Television Critics Association on Tuesday. Cherry contrasted Desperate Housewives with Sex and the City, which did fewer episodes and followed its HBO run with two big-screen movies.

Referring to the Middle East-set Sex and the City 2, which received largely negative reviews, Cherry quipped: “I’m just never sending these gals to Dubai.”

He remained mostly mum about how his series will conclude, saying some “old, familiar characters” will return, but that the rest is a secret and “I’m being hyperprotective of it.” Fellow executive producer Bob Daily said the last year of Desperate Housewives will include echoes of season one and serve as a bookend to it.

MODERN FAMILY CREATOR HAPPY WITH RESPONSE TO GAY CHARACTERS

Wedding bells | People magazine reported yesterday that Halle Berry is engaged to fellow actor Olivier Martinez.

NOMINEES READY FOR WRATH OF RICKY GERVAIS AT GLOBES LOS ANGELES (Associated Press)

When Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais took sharp swipes at Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Robert Downey, Jr. and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at last year’s ceremony, some criticized the comedian for going too far.

Downey described the vibe as “hugely meanspirited, with mildly sinister undertones.�

With Gervais back for his third turn as Globes host on Sunday, nominees are already preparing themselves for the British funnyman’s pointed jabs. “I’ll probably get the piss taken out of me, but it’s ďŹ ne with me,â€? said Elton John, nominated for his song from Gnomeo & Juliet.

Johnny Galecki, who is up for his ďŹ rst Golden Globe for his work on TV’s The Big Bang Theory, said that when he got word he was nominated, “one of my ďŹ rst ďŹ ve thoughts was, ‘Oh Christ, Gervais is going to make fun of me.’â€?

But the actor isn’t worried. “I’ll be attered by it,â€? said the 5-foot-5-inch Galecki. “I’m looking

PASADENA, Calif. (Associated Press)

One of the biggest surprises for the creator of Modern Family is how Cameron and Mitchell, the gay parents who are among the show’s lead characters, are accepted by the audience.

Steven Levitan said it’s unusual for him to hear any objections to Mitchell and Cameron, portrayed by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.

He said that it’s easy for people to object to gay parents in concept. “When you make it personal and show the people have good hearts and are extremely committed, loving parents, it’s hard not to love them,� he said. “I’m pleasantly surprised with the world’s reaction to that particular part of our modern family.�

Levitan said he and his staff impose a lot of pressure on themselves to keep standards up, even though creative ups and downs are almost unavoidable. “We don’t want to be accused of getting soft or resting on our laurels,� he said. “That keeps us on our toes or awake at night.�

forward to it. I hope he doesn’t just zero in on the height. That’s just easy pickings.�

Damian Lewis, nominated for his work on Homeland, said he might also be an easy target.

POINTED JABS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ricky Gervais is returning to host the Golden Globes for a third time on Sunday.

“If he’s got a thing about redheads, I’m a sitting duck,� Lewis said.

Glee and American Horror Story executive producer Ryan Murphy is excited about Gervais’ return and the spice he brings to the three-hour telecast. “It’s always good with the shows to have an unpredictable element to them, and he certainly is that,�

Murphy said. “He’s very funny and very smart and I think he will make nominees even more nervous than they already are, which is kind of funny.�

Supporting actor nominee (and great Canadian) Christopher Plummer said he appreciates Gervais’ irreverence. “I think ďŹ nally everybody’s come to that same conclusion: That that’s him, he doesn’t mean it, but he’s very funny,â€? Plummer said.

Jean Dujardin, nominated for his starring role in the silent ďŹ lm The Artist, said it would be an honour if Gervais even mentioned him.

But there’s a caveat, the actor said: “If he mocks me, he has to do it silently, without any words.�

QUEBECOR THREATENS TO SUE RADIO-CANADA OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

Quebecor is threatening the CBC’s French-language network with legal action unless the broadcaster advertises in the media giant’s newspapers and magazines.

Quebecor boss Pierre Karl Peladeau made the threats in letters to Radio-Canada president Hubert Lacroix, including one sent last September.

Lacroix has responded by saying Quebecor’s readers aren’t part of the target audience sought by the public broadcaster.

The correspondence between Peladeau and Lacroix was obtained under the Access to Information Act. Quebecor owns TVA, the French-language broadcaster that is Radio-Canada’s biggest competitor in Quebec, as well as Sun Media.

In Quebec, its stable of publications include Le Journal de Montreal, a wildly popular tabloid.

SHAW MEDIA TO LAUNCH ALL-NEWS CHANNEL IN B.C. VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)

A new television station may soon be signing on for B.C. news junkies. Shaw Media ďŹ led an application yesterday with the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission to launch a regional all-news speciality channel. The station will bear the Global BC brand and provide local, national and international headlines 24-hours-aday. Veteran Global BC anchor Jill Krop will also host a prime time talk show on the channel.

Shaw Media President Paul Robertson says the station’s creation demonstrates the company’s commitment to help grow and develop Global News, representing a major step towards expanding its reach and accessibility. The station has yet to be named, but hopes to launch by this summer.

EDMONTON (Canadian Press)

Zach Parise scored 1:06 into overtime as the New Jersey Devils won their third game in four outings with a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers last night.

Parise took a feed from Patrik Elias while on the power play in the overtime session, snapping a puck

OILERS LOSE 2-1

into a wide-open net behind Edmonton goalie Nikolai Khabibulin.

Ilya Kovalchuk also scored and added an assist for the Devils (24-17-2) who leapt past Toronto into sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

Ales Hemsky replied for the Oilers (16-22-4) who are falling deeper out of contention with four straight defeats and losses in 11 of their last 13 games.

The Oilers next play host to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday while the Devils finish off a four-game trip in Winnipeg on Saturday.

CANADIAN PRESS

New Jersey’s Ilya Kovalchuk, left, celebrates his goal against the Oilers with teammate Ryan Carter during the second period last night in Edmonton.

Pittsburgh shut out — resume skating on his own.

“I don’t think he’s anywhere close to coming back,” Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik said. “You can’t really wait for him.”

Chimera gave Washington the only offence it needed at 15:25, finishing a 3-on-1 rush right in front of goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. Capitals defenceman Joel Ward stole the puck in his end and sent it to Jeff Halpern along the right boards.

Halpern centred to Chimera, who easily scored his 14th goal, second on the Capitals to Alex Ovechkin.

It was the first time this season the Penguins were shut out, but they’ve scored only a total of six goals during their current skid.

SQUAMISH SKIER STILL IN A COMA SALT LAKE CITY (Associated Press)

Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke remained in a coma Wednesday after suffering “serious injuries” in a crash while training on a superpipe.

In a statement released by the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association, a doctor at University of Utah hospital said Burke UTAH “sustained serious injuries and remains SKI intubated and sedated in critical condition.”

CRASH Burke’s husband, Rory Bushfield, and members of her family are with the skier.

“Sarah is a very strong young woman and she will most certainly fight to recover,” said Bushfield.

Earlier, Peter Judge, the CFSA’s chief executive officer, said he hadn’t been informed of any Sarah Burke change in her condition.

Burke is a halfpipe pioneer who lobbied tirelessly to get her sport included in the Winter Olympics. Halfpipe skiing will debut at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.

She was airlifted from Park City, Utah, to Salt Lake City after crashing at the end of a training run Tuesday in advance of the Winter X Games.

Burke, a native of Barrie, Ont., who grew up in nearby Midland before moving to Squamish, B.C., was training with a private group at the time of the accident.

LEAFS’ PHANEUF NAMED NHL’S MOST OVERRATED PLAYER TORONTO (Canadian Press)

Dion Phaneuf is the most overrated player in the NHL, according to a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated released yesterday.

The magazine asked 161 current NHLers their opinion on the league’s most overrated players and the Toronto Maple Leafs captain came out on top.

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin was second, while Montreal Canadiens forward Scott Gomez was third.

Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo was fourth, followed by Dany Heatley of the Minnesota Wild in fifth and Ilya Kovalchuk of the New Jersey Devils in sixth.

Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier ranked seventh on the list, while Calgary Flames defenceman Jay Bouwmeester was eighth.

Rounding out the top 10 were Vancouver’s Ryan Kesler in ninth and Toronto’s Mike Komisarek in 10th.

“Yes, players dumb enough to participate in polls designed to crap on fellow NHLPA members are not very bright,” Leafs GM Brian Burke told the Toronto Star yesterday. “They can all go defecate in their chapeaus. I am thrilled to have both players on my team.”

IN MILKY WAY, PLANETS OUTNUMBER STARS: STUDIES WASHINGTON (Associated Press)

TINY FROG NAMED WORLD’S SMALLEST VERTEBRATE TORONTO (Canadian Press)

It’s only the size of a housefly, but this critter doesn’t take to the air on wings – it hops. The unimaginably tiny frog, averaging just 7.7 millimetres from snout to butt, has now earned the distinction of being the smallest vertebrate in the world. Named after the Amau River in Papua New Guinea where it was discovered, Paedophryne amauensis has a mighty voice for its size, says one of the biologists who unearthed the diminutive amphibian during a threemonth expedition in 2009.

“It does not sound like a frog, it sounds like an insect,” Christopher Austin of Louisiana State University said in a telephone interview from Baton Rouge. “And it’s these ... single notes that continuously come out of the frog, like tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, but really high-pitched.”

“They’re also incredible jumpers,” he said, noting that the puny frog can leap a distance about 30 times its body length – or 25 centimetres. To put that in perspective, that would be the same as a six-foot man leaping a distance of 54 metres (180 feet). And at the other end of the size scale: The mighty blue whale, which can be grow to more than 25 metres long and tip the scales at 200 tons.

The more astronomers look for other worlds, the more they find that it’s a crowded and crazy cosmos. They think planets easily outnumber stars in our galaxy and they are even finding them in the strangest of places.

And they have only begun to count.

Three studies released yesterday, in the journal Nature and at the American Astronomical Society’s conference in Austin, Texas, demonstrate an extrasolar real estate boom. One of those studies shows that in our Milky Way, most stars have planets. And since there are a lot of stars in our galaxy – about 100 billion – that means a lot of planets.

“We’re finding an exciting potpourri of things we didn’t even think could exist,” said Harvard University astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger, including planets that mirror Luke Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine with its twin suns.

“We’re awash in planets where 17 years ago we weren’t even sure there were planets” outside our solar system, said Kaltenegger, who wasn’t involved in the new research.

Confirmed planets outside our solar system now number well over 700, still-to-be-confirmed ones are in the thousands.

ABBOTSFORD FAMILY LITERACY DAY CELEBRATION ABBOTSFORD FAMILY LITERACY DAY CELEBRATION

NASA’s new Kepler planet-hunting telescope in space is discovering exoplanets that are in a zone friendly to life and detecting planets as small as Earth or even tinier. That is moving the field of looking for some kind of life outside Earth from science fiction toward plain science.

One study in Nature this week figures that the Milky Way averages at least 1.6 large planets per star. And that is likely a dramatic underestimate.

13

It’s not just the number of planets, but where they are found.

Scientists once thought systems with two stars were just too chaotic to have planets nearby. But so far, astronomers have found three different systems where planets have two suns, something that a few years ago seemed like purely Star Wars movie magic.

“Nature must like to form planets because it’s forming them in places that are kind of difficult to do,” said San Diego State University astronomy professor William Welsh, who wrote a study about planets with two stars that’s also published in the journal Nature.

CROWDED COSMOS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new study in the journal Nature found that, on average, there are 1.6 large planets per star in our galaxy, and that’s a low estimate.
