Property crimes like theft on uptick in city SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
C
rime statistics from the Nanaimo RCMP show calls for service in the city spiked in the first three months of 2015 to 8,492 compared to 7,967 over the same period last year. However, the figures suggest a more complex picture of the frequency and types of crimes in the city. For example, the number of assaults (116 between January and March) has remain virtually unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2014. But that number also represents a five-year low for new assault cases, after a peak of 156 in 2013. Weapons offences in the first quarter have also held steady over the past three years at 53 incidents, after increasing from 34 in 2011.

“We’ve been seeing a spike in property crime for a while now.” Mark Fisher, Nanaimo RCMP
There are promising trends in the figures. One is declining incidents of violence in relationships, including spousal abuse, an area where the RCMP has invested additional police resources in recent years. Total incidents were reduced to 119 so far this year, marking a decrease from 138 in 2014 and a five-year spike of 159 in 2013. Another trend is the decline of impaired driving incidents and immediate roadside driving prohibitions issued by police to 64, the lowest number since 2012.
Thefts from vehicles also dropped to 266 from the five year high of 353 in the first quarter of 2013. But vehicle thefts more than doubled from two years ago to reach 101 incidents — a five-year high — in the this year’s first quarter. Residential break and enters also climbed from 81 last year to 105 in the first part of 2015 — another five-year high. Nanaimo RCMP Supt. Mark Fisher said the statistics show a mixed set of results for crime in the city, with violent crimes against people decreasing but property crimes like theft on the uptick. “We’ve been seeing a spike in property crime for a while now,” said Fisher, the officer in charge of the Nanaimo RCMP detachment.
Fisher said the rash of property crimes play into the higher volume of calls to the RCMP. “That’s a contributor to it for sure, as well as some mental health issues” police are called to deal with, he said. Fisher said police have seen a five per cent increase in calls each year for the last two years. The higher workload would be enough to keep four additional police officers busy, he said. “It puts pressures on resources for sure,” he said.

Total pay for Nanaimo’s elected officials increased by more than $28,000 in 2014 compared to the previous year, according to a statement of financial information prepared by the city. City council members collected $383,066.83 in pay and taxable benefits in 2014, in addition to $54,891 in expenses. In 2013, total pay was $354,652.98, however, total expenses claimed by officials were higher at $57,493.98. A large part of the increase is accounted for by last November’s election, where five new council members were added onto the city’s payroll. Annual pay increases also drove up pay to elected officials. Former mayor John Ruttan was the highest-paid elected official on council last year, earning $88,827. Bill McKay, who was a city councillor for most of 2014 but became mayor during December, earned $39,134. The remaining council members earned between the low and mid-$30,000 range. On the high end were councillors Jim Kipp ($37,089), Diane Brennan ($36,189) and Bill Bestwick ($35,583). Former councillors Ted Greves, Diana Johnstone, Fred Pattje and George Anderson earned salaries ranging from $32,104 to $33,718. New city councillors Jerry Hong, Bill Yoachim, Wendy Pratt, Ian Thorpe and Gord Fuller were paid much less due to being elected in late 2014, and earned between $2,566 and $2,704 each. Council pay increases were set by a policy approved by council in 2012, which sets mayor and councillor pay at the median rate from 12 other B.C. municipalities closest to Nanaimo in population; six above and six below. The policy was set to end in 2014. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

Reconciliation series set for VIU Truth and Reconciliation Commission has identified residential school system as ‘cultural genocide’ SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Reaction from the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s findings on the residential school system has rippled across the country, including an announcement from Vancouver Island University on plans to hold an annual speakers’ series on reconciliation and engagement with Canada’s indigenous people this fall. The event, which the university is partnering with CBC Radio One and the non-profit Laurier Institute to organize, will be held
by VIU’s Centre for Pre-Confederation Treaties and Reconciliation, which was set up last year. The announcement of the speakers’ series was timed to coincide with the release of the TRC’s summary report and findings, which found the Canadian government took part in “cultural genocide” through the residential school system, which was set up to forcibly assimilate young aboriginal students into the rest of the population. The lengthy report and findings also includes 94 recommendations to address the legacy of the
residential school system, as the authors of the report called for action from the government. Included in the list is a recommendation for the government to adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Another calls for the oath of citizenship to be changed to include recognition of aboriginal treaties. Another calls for the construction of a residential schools monument in every provincial and territory, and a new statutory holiday in recognition of the
children and families affected by the system. Doug White, interim director for VIU’s Centre for Pre-Confederation Treaties and Reconciliation, said the release of the commission’s findings was “an important moment” for the country in grappling the lasting impact of the residential school system. “The reconciliation part is what we do from this point,” said White, also a former chief of Snuneymuxw First Nation and a lawyer. White said the recommenda-
tions range from broad to very specific, adding they specifically point to the need for a “fundamental transformation” between the Crown and First Nations. But White also said the goal of making amends for past wrongs will need to take place at a grassroots level. “We achieve it because it becomes the work of all Canadians and it manifests itself in many ways,” he said.

Tilray, which has more than $70 million in U.S. equity backing, and which Fortune Magazine describes as the largest legal pot maker in the world, said it has been working for several months to develop a code of ethics with the Canadian Medical Cannabis Industry Association. The company has chosen to go it alone after failing to get consensus on a set of ethical standards of conduct for the industry. Tilray CEO Greg Engel wants to improve the image of the cannabis industry, which he said is “tainted” by its history as an illegal drug. “Our concern is that a number of licensed producers are either directly, or indirectly paying for patient referrals,” Engel said. Tilray, which produces medical cannabis at its Maughan Road facility, has received numerous $50 invoices from doctors and clinics across Canada,for submitting medical documents Health Canada requires so a patient can legally use marijuana to treat a medical condition. Tilray considers it billing for referrals, something that is prohibited by provincial colleges of physicians, the bodies that oversee the professional conduct of doctors. “Our objective is to produce the highest quality product and support efforts that enable the patient and their physician alone to make an informed choice on the best medical cannabis strain

for their individual medical need,” Engel said. “Tilray has never and will never compensate a physician for a referral or for writing a prescription for medical cannabis. We believe patients are best served when treatment choices are made without financial influence or incentive.”
Tilray spoke to members earlier this year, then raised the issue at CMCIA’s annual general meeting in March and again at a board meeting in April, where it was voted down. While announcing its decision to leave the association Tilray invited producers to join the Canadian Medical Cannabis Council.
Neil Belot, CMCIA executive director, said in a statement that Tilray resigned from the industry body before the matter was resolved. “The CMCIA continues to work with our members to build a strong ethical foundation for partnerships with physicians and patients, while avoiding
conflict with Canadian competition law, and preserving ongoing efforts to support the growth and development of medical cannabis research and data collection with integrity,” Belot said. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Nanaimo teacher honoured for actions after plane crash ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
A teacher from Nanaimo has been recognized for his heroic actions after a fatal plane crash almost two years ago, with a bronze medal for bravery from the Royal Canadian Humane Association. John Young, a teacher at Dover Bay Secondary School, was in a float plane flying to Gold River from Hesquiat Lake in August, 2013, when it crashed in poor weather on the west side of Vancouver Island.
Young suffered a shattered sternum, broken ribs, broken clavicle, and third-degree burns to his legs in the crash. But he never hesitated in his efforts to help others in the aftermath. Young tried unsuccessfully to help the trapped pilot exit the plane, but the pilot died before he could be rescued. He then braved the growing flames to go to the rescue of another passenger who was trapped, and was successful in removing the badly injured
and burned woman from the wreckage. By the time rescuers arrived, two people had perished on the site, and the remaining four, including Young, had a range of injuries. Young, who spent 10 days in hospital after the incident, also suffered some psychological problems that took longer to deal with. He said he realized at the time that he was putting himself in further danger with his efforts to save others on the plane.
“But I didn’t want to do nothing and then have to live with those screams in my head for the rest of my life,” said Young, who received the bronze medal for bravery on Monday from Judith Guichon, the Lieutenant Governor of B.C. “I was very surprised and pleased that I received this medal. That accident will live with me forever.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Teachers remain an inspiration for students
F
ar too often in this province, when we read or hear about our school teachers, the focus is not on the remarkable work they do with our children. Issues like labour disputes and FSA tests and on and on make our collective eyes glaze over. Those are more over-arching educational issues than teacher-focused scenarios, but the instructors often bear the brunt of public criticism. Sometimes, it’s easy to overlook the vital role they play in the lives of our youngsters. While certainly they don’t do their jobs for public back-pats and not everyone will rush to do just that, it’s important to recognize outstanding work. One teacher doing oustanding
work without much fanfare is Carmella Luvisotto, the band teacher at Nanaimo’s Wellington Secondary. Our own Julie Chadwick profiled Luvisotto on Monday of this week, detailing a whirlwind year for a teacher who has seen her students rise to awards and acclaim at band festivals throughout North America. At the invitation-only MusicFest Nationals earlier this month in Toronto, her Grade 11 and 12 jazz students came out on top, and picked up four golds and a silver as well as multiple scholarships and bursaries. These are remarkable achievements, speaking to both the talent and commitment of the exceptional young students themselves, but also the dedica-
tion and leadership of Luvisotto. “She’s the only teacher I’ve ever had who stays every day until 4:30. And she comes early too. We’ll be at the school in the morning for 7:30 band practices,” said bass player Tiana Dick, who won the SiriusX-cellence Performance Award at MusicFest in addition to playing at the prestigious Monterey Jazz Festival in California in March. Luvisotto’s motivation in getting the students into festivals — which she attends on her own time and out of her own pocket — makes a huge difference in what they are exposed to, said Ethan Olynyk, a Grade 11 student at Wellington who recently won the Pearl Canadian Drummer of the Year award at MusicFest, as well as $2,500 Humber
College scholarship. This is going above and beyond. And interestingly, Luvisotto says her own motivation comes from the commitment and passion she saw in teachers who mentored her as a young musician coming up through the local school band programs. One of those teachers was her father, Fred, who helped start the earliest school band programs in Nanaimo. “ I just wanted to continue that legacy of Nanaimo’s tradition,” she said. And what a tradition it is. As we reported, part of Luvisotto’s ability to mentor students to an award-winning level is her connections in the music world (Diana Krall used to give her piano lessons) which allows for
her to draw in top musicians to offer workshops to her students. Beyond the technical skills, education and connections these musicians offer, they also inspire the students to see what is possible for them in the world of music. This exemplifies what we want from our teachers — to inspire the students who see what is possible for them in the world. With a fresh set of high school graduates set to enter that “real world” we hope that somewhere along the way they have drawn inspiration from their teachers.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Environment is a bigger issue than the economy We are bombarded every day by the word ”economy.” The state of our economy is by far the most important issue for the majority of politicians. I have always maintained that this way of thinking will only lead to disaster. We must all open our eyes to the fact that the deteriorating condition of our ecological systems far out shadows the importance of our economy. Our world is immediately in dire need of politicians with common sense instead of politicians motivated by self-serving greed. Christy Clark just made another empty promise to reduce greenhouse gases to try to show us that she actually cares about the ecology. She foolishly tries to convince us that if we don’t burn coal for industrial use we are cutting down on air pollution. But she also believes that exporting a continuous supply of coal to China and letting them create all the pollution for us, is super good for our economy, and to hell with the pollution. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper, throwing our country wide open to wealthy immigrants and foreign investors to boost his
precious economy, is only causing a myriad of worse problems. Our economy is now such that only the rich can afford these inflationary prices, thus causing many others to suffer the consequences. The young and the working poor as well as many others, will never ever be able to own their own home. What a bleak future prospect to inflict on so many innocent people, all because of a government’s misplaced priorities and self-serving attitude. Talk about common sense; it’s amazing to see letters from people who actually condone or even praise the federal and provincial government for their lack of common sense and foresight. Sacrificing our ecosystem for profit is extremely foolhardy. When pollution reaches the point of no return (and it’s just about there already) maybe you advocates of economy will see the light, but alas, it will be too late. John A. Martin Nanaimo
Loss of Morden Mine as heritage site a big blow So The Friends of Morden Mine have reluctantly decided to sur-
render the fight to save the only remaining coal tipple in Canada and one of only two in all of North America. I am amazed that The Friends of Morden Mine have lasted so long in the face of such indifference and inaction on the part of all levels of government. This historic structure, arguably the epitome of Nanaimo’s coal heritage, is about to be left to rot. Coal created the economy of this town, brought prosperity to it and caused us, and all the immigrants before us to make this our home. Think about that. I really love this town but sometimes I do despair. I moved to Nanaimo 25 years ago almost on a whim, and noticed immediately that people here do not fully appreciate what they have. There appeared to be little interest here in preserving the admittedly rather young heritage of Nanaimo. It seemed to make more sense to build a mall and put in a big box store. And yet all over B.C., there are many communities which love to blow their horn about their past and culture. Barkerville comes to mind, but even Victoria, and Chemainus, “The Little Town That Did” are good examples. These commun-
ities apparently understand the importance of history and culture as well as the obvious tourism potential. Visitors from much older cultures than ours are anxious to learn about our local history, precisely because we are so young. It fascinates them. Nanaimo talks about Coal Tyee and the Dunsmuirs and those early days, but no mention of the Morden Mine. As a community we appear to have no difficulty in spending millions on cruise ship terminals, conference centres, engineering studies, and on and on while sweeping what’s left of our culture into the garbage bin. I call upon the City of Nanaimo to take a bold step and lead the fight to preserve the Morden Mine for future generations before it’s too late.

BUSINESS NOTES News from the Nanaimo business community
New Balance store now open in Nanaimo Complement to Frontrunners offers wide range of footwear, including work and casual shoes Robert Barron Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com
A
New Balance footwear and apparel store has opened at 1825 Bowen Rd. The store is owned and operated by Norm Thibault and Stefan Jakobsen, the same owners of the Frontrunners location situated right next door. Thibault said the New Balance store complements Frontrunners in that while Frontrunners focuses on running and walking shoes, as well as apparel and fitness programs, the New Balance store offers a wider range of footwear, including work, casual and “lifestyle” choices. “Business has been increasing for our Frontrunners store since we moved it here from the north end in September,” he said. “It’s a more central location and we believe that the New Balance store will benefit from the location as well.”
Expansion time The owner of the Budget Brake & Muffler location on Shenton Road has expanded into the self-storage industry. Dennis Campbell and two investors from the Lower Mainland have purchased McKenzie Self Storage on Old Victoria Road and changed its name to All-Purpose Storage. “When this opportunity arose in the south end, where there’s not a lot of self-storage businesses, I jumped at it,” Campbell said. “There are 37 storage units plus space for storing boats and cars, as well as a U-Haul dealership. It’s a lot more work for me on

As a federation of local government bodies, the Islands Trust area covers more than 450 smaller and 13 major islands in the waters between mainland B.C. and Southern Vancouver Island. Their mandate is
to preserve and protect the unique environment and amenities of the region. “We’ve been doing this for a number of years now and it’s an opportunity to celebrate those individuals that accomplish things within their communities which contribute to the mandate of the Islands Trust and basically take on those tasks that are community building or environmental protection and the like that go unheralded,” said Peter Luckham, chairman of the Islands Trust council.
“We’d like to acknowledge that work, because it’s fabulous stuff that some of these people do. Some of the activities accomplished by the individuals and groups, which come from nine local trust areas include promoting awareness of wildlife habitat, supporting farming and agriculture, fostering ecological sustainability, running a community bus, building community capacity in emergency response and protecting cultural heritage.
Leigh Ann Millman and Susan Yates, both from Gabriola Island, were nominated for leading land protection and contributing to literary arts and environmental stewardship, repectively.

OBITUARY
SECURITY
Jacques Parizeau fought for a sovereign Quebec
Footage of Ottawa shooting kept secret
NELSON WYATT THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Jacques Parizeau, the blunt-talking sovereigntist premier whose strategic cunning came close to ripping Quebec out of Canada, has died at the age of 84. “Immense grief tonight,” Parizeau’s wife, Lisette Lapointe, said on her Facebook page in what was the official announcement of Monday’s death. “The man of my life has gone.... He was surrounded by love. After a titanic fight, hospitalized for five months, facing challenges one after the other with extraordinary courage and determination, he passed away . . .We are devastated.” The blustery, mustachioed Parizeau was premier during the 1995 provincial referendum which saw the federalist No side defeat sovereigntists by a whisker after a bitter campaign. In a career-ending slag on referendum night, Parizeau blamed “money and the ethnic vote” for the loss and was roundly criticized to the point that he resigned as premier a day later.
PARIZEAU
“That night was a tragedy for him and for us,” Jean-Francois Lisee, one of Parizeau’s key advisers at the time, said in a 2006 interview on the public Tele-Quebec network. “It was brute emotion. (The referendum) was a big step forward but all he saw was his failure to take the next step. And that anger came out.” In an interview in October 2013, Parizeau insisted the infamous remark was not meant to target specific voters — just community organizations. Parizeau hailed from a prominent family in the upscale Mont-
real suburb of Outremont. His grandfather was the head of the Quebec Chamber of Notaries and his father was a historian and author as well as the president of an insurance company. He was a key adviser to the provincial government in the 1960s and instrumental in the nationalization of Hydro-Quebec and the creation of the provincial pension plan. As finance minister in the first Parti Quebecois government in the 1970s, he was responsible for a number of innovations including the Quebec Stock Savings Plan. He also contributed to giving Quebecers the dubious distinction of paying among the highest taxes in Canada. He was blamed for the decision to nationalize the asbestos industry just before it collapsed when links were made between asbestos and cancer. He also oversaw a massive jump in Quebec’s debt. Premier Philippe Couillard said Parizeau will have a state funeral and that the ex-PQ leader left behind specific details for his last rites. No date was announced.
STEPHANIE LEVITZ AND JORDAN PRESS THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A video showing Michael Zehaf Bibeau’s first moments inside the Centre Block is being kept secret even as reports are to be made public Wednesday detailing the security response on the day of the shooting on Parliament Hill. Cameras near the front door of the Centre Block captured Zehaf Bibeau wrestling with a House of Commons security guard and shooting at other guards before sprinting down the Hall of Honour, according to two sources with knowledge of the video. There are no cameras in the hall itself, which runs between the Conservative and NDP caucus rooms. Zehaf Bibeau was killed in a shootout with security forces at the end of the hall. The Ontario Provincial Police had access to the video as part of its multi-pronged investigation into the actions of security forces on the day of the shooting. Heather Bradley, a spokeswoman for House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer, said the security footage won’t be made
Every day is
public for security reasons. The much anticipated reports from the OPP will outline the results of an investigation into the actions by the RCMP inside and outside the Parliament Buildings, and the actions of security guards inside the Centre Block. They are expected to conclude that security guards were justified in shooting the gunman dead. They are also expected to identify holes in the security system in place on Oct. 22 that allowed Zehaf Bibeau to run onto the Hill, commandeer a minister’s car, and get inside the Centre Block in a matter of seconds. It may also touch on items that have already been publicly discussed, such as a lack of communication between forces inside and outside the Parliament Buildings. Even internal government communications were a problem on Oct. 22. An internal government report shows federal workers deleted emails alerting them to events on the day of the shooting because they thought the messages were spam.

Live anthrax sent Blast off for pair of School board backs from U.S. to Canada astronauts by 2024 off firing of driver Three laboratory test kits that may have mistakenly contained live anthrax and that were sent from the United States to Canada have not been used for years, the Department of National Defence and the Public Health Agency of Canada said late Tuesday. The three kits were supplied to two different labs. The National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg received one of them, the Public Health Agency of Canada acknowledged in an emailed reply to questions.
Canada’s two astronauts will finally get their chance to visit the International Space Station. Industry Minister James Moore announced Tuesday that Jeremy Hansen and David Saint-Jacques will both fly in space by 2024. One Canadian will fly by 2019 and the other by 2024. Who goes first hasn’t been determined. Hansen, 39, of London, Ont., and Saint-Jacques, 45, of Quebec City, joined the Canadian astronaut corps in 2009 and are the only current active members.
A video showing how badly students were behaving has prompted a school board to apologize to a bus driver who kicked one of them off the bus. Edmonton Catholic Schools had recommended its bus contractor fire the unnamed driver. “In light of the second video showing an assault on the driver, we realize we should not have requested the driver’s termination and have apologized to his employer,” said school district spokeswoman Lori Nagy.

OTTAWA — A moment of emotional catharsis bound survivors of Canada’s residential schools Tuesday as their collective ordeal was officially branded a “cultural genocide” that tore apart their families and left them to deal with lifelong scars of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The massive report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission makes 94 broad recommendations —everything from greater police independence and reducing the number of aboriginal children in foster care to restrictions on the use of conditional and mandatory minimum sentences. The summary of the report — the full six-volume collection isn’t due out until later this year — is the culmination of six emotional years of extensive study into the churchrun, government-funded institutions, which operated for more than 120 years. “Our spirit cannot be broken,” commissioner Chief Wilton Littlechild, himself a survivor of residential school, told a packed meeting room at a downtown Ottawa hotel. “We have listened very carefully to many courageous individuals in our search for truth . . . through pain, tears, joy and sometimes anger, you shared with us what happened.
“These were heart-breaking, tragic and shocking accounts of discrimination, deprivation and all manner of physical, sexual, emotional and mental abuse.” Justice Murray Sinclair, Commission chairman
“There are still many, many survivors who have not healed enough to come forward with their story, or that are too angry to tell their story — or worse, there are those who have given up hope.” The extent of the abuse endured by survivors has been fully documented, with plans for those records to soon have a permanent home at a centre at the University of Manitoba. One of the incredibly personal stories documented by the commission includes an account of sexual abuse from Josephine Sutherland, who attended the Fort Albany residential school in Ontario. “I couldn’t call for help, I couldn’t,” Sutherland testified. “And he did awful things to me, and I was just a little girl . . . I was so stunned, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t.”
Justice Murray Sinclair, the commission’s chairman, said the experiences of 6,750 survivors who spoke to the commission will now become a “permanent historical archive, never to be forgotten or ignored.” “The residential school experience is clearly one of the darkest most troubling chapters in our collective history,” Sinclair told the hundreds who gathered to mark the release of the commission’s findings. “The survivors showed great courage, great conviction and trust to us in sharing their stories,” he said. “These were heart-breaking, tragic and shocking accounts of discrimination, deprivation and all manner of physical, sexual, emotional and mental abuse.” During a question period, NDP leader Tom Mulcair asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper if he would accept the recommendation on the UN declaration. Harper was non-committal, especially when Mulcair asked him to acknowledge the commission’s use of the term “cultural genocide.” Sinclair and Harper also met privately Tuesday to discuss the commission’s findings, which included an estimate that more than 6,000 children died during their time at residential school. In some cases, their remains were never returned to the families.

B.C. man jailed in U.S. for smuggling operation
Mountie in harassment lawsuit now suspended
A Vancouver man who participated in a cross-border ecstasyfor-cocaine smuggling scheme will spend seven years in a U.S. prison. Fifty-two-year-old Philip Cote was arrested in August 2014, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute the drugs in February 2015 and was sentenced in Seattle on Tuesday. U.S. court records say Cote supplied an undercover officer with 20 kilograms of ecstasy in Blaine, Wash., a border city just south of Vancouver, on July 25, 2014. The documents say he told the officer to deliver the drugs to southern California and pick up 32 kilograms of cocaine and hide the drug in the walls of an SUV. Cote was arrested Aug. 25 when he travelled to Blaine to pick up the cocaine valued at US$1.5 million and has since been held at a federal detention centre near Seattle.
An RCMP officer who has been the public face of the force in B.C. for several years has been suspended with pay. Long-time media relations officer Insp. Tim Shields was taken off the job May 19. RCMP Sgt. Rob Vermeulen says in an email that because there is an ongoing code of conduct investigation into claims made against Shields, no more information will be released. Shields is named in a B.C. Supreme Court lawsuit that alleges he subjected a civilian employee to harassment and sexual harassment. In 2008, Shields was placed in charge of the RCMP’s communication section and was the chief media relations officer speaking on behalf of 9,000 officers in the province.

U.S. couple die in plane crash, weather suspect Rescue officials say a couple from the United States has been killed in a small plane crash in northern British Columbia. The husband and wife were travelling to Watson Lake from Dawson Creek. The Joint Rescue Communication Centre in Victoria say the plane veered off course Monday and crashed in the Fort Nelson region. Officials aren’t saying what caused the crash, but says the weather was “active” at the time and could have been a factor. The identities of the victims have not been released, nor has their hometown.

Cops take down Island trafficking operation Mounties say they have dismantled a large drug trafficking network and arrested a dozen people after a three-month investigation near Victoria. Sooke RCMP say it was their largest targeted drug enforcement project in recent years and it involved more than a dozen local and regional Mounties. The investigation culminated when police searched four homes over the last week and seized what they say appears to be heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, GHB and marijuana. Mounties say 12 people from the Sooke area ranging in age from 18 to 48 were arrested and they now face a number of drug trafficking-related charges. Police say they expect to make more arrests in the near future.
Couple guilty in plot to bomb legislature Conviction to be entered after arguments of entrapment GEORDON OMAND THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia couple has been found guilty of conspiring to commit murder in a terror plot involving a foiled attempt to bomb the provincial legislature. But the conviction was put on hold while defence lawyers argue that their clients were entrapped in an elaborate police sting operation that led to their arrest. The jury also found John Nuttall and Amanda Korody guilty of possessing an explosive substance and placing an explosive in a public place, both on behalf of a terrorist group. As the verdict was read out, Nuttall made a heart shape with his fingers directed at Korody. Speaking outside the courtroom, Crown lawyer Peter Eccles said he was pleased with the hard work by the jury. He denied suggestions from defence lawyers that Nuttall and Korody were manipulated by the RCMP into committing the crime, describing the officer’s actions as “good, old-fashioned police work.” “My relief is the same at the end of any trial,” said Eccles. “The trial is finished, the jury is able to do their job and they’re able to render a true verdict.” Nuttall’s lawyer Marilyn Sandford said her client is “very disappointed” with the verdict but that Nuttall understands many important issues in the case have yet to be decided. “We say the police manufactured this crime and that’s not

permissible in our law,” said Sandford. She argued that the police themselves had committed crimes in the process of staging the undercover operation. “They were involved in exactly the same activities to a large extent that our clients were,” she said. Sandford also took issue with spiritual advice provided by undercover officers, advice she said was designed to encourage Nuttall and Korody to commit crimes. Korody’s lawyer Mark Jette alleged police violated his client’s charter rights and said he would argue both entrapment and abuse of process. He said Korody is disappointed in the immediate aftermath of the verdict but that she is prepared for the next step. The next stage will involve
hearing testimony from senior RCMP officials who were involved behind the scenes in orchestrating the operation, the defence lawyers said. The jury began deliberating behind closed doors on Sunday morning after hearing more than four months of testimony. The couple was arrested on July 1, 2013, the day they were accused of planting three pressure-cooker bombs on the grounds of the legislature. The police had ensured the bombs were inert. Covert recordings were taken of Nuttall and Korody at home, during meetings in various hotel rooms and while driving around with undercover officers. One video appeared to depict the two hiding their faces with scarves and filming a jihadist video they planned to release after their attack.

Bees and blackberries mix to make a perfect winery Four generations of Brennan family make their living in Black Creek Sheila Hockin The Lucky Gourmet

oastal Black Estate Winery and Meadery is located in Black Creek. Living and working together, four generations of the Brennan family make their living from its 400 acres of vineyards, bee keeping operations, a working sawmill and a winery. But those aren’t grapes on the rows of vines that roll along, acre after acre. They are blackberries. The winery has 80 acres of blackberries, 20 acres of blueberries and 20 acres of raspberries. The berries are the base for all of Coastal Black’s fruit wines, as well as being sold locally at farmers’ markets and grocery stores. Driving onto the property, one is struck with the beauty of those blackberry vines. The spectacular vista includes three large windmills in amongst the blackberry rows. The flagship table wine of this vineyard is the Blackberry, which, naturally enough, is bursting with blackberry flavour. Bold, crisp and made from 100 per cent blackberries, it pairs beautifully with barbequed hamburgers and juicy marinated steaks. If a bubbly is what you are after, the Coastal Black Blackberry Sparkling is excellent. The wine’s crisp effervescence and off-dry blackberry flavour make it a perfect accompaniment

for egg rolls or even tempura prawns. The sparkling blackberry wine is a prime ingredient within a refreshing variation on sangria. Combine a bottle of this bubbly wine with your favorite fresh berries plus a splash or two of orange juice and you are set to serve, not to mention, wow your guests. From the beekeeping operation, meads (alcoholic beverages made from honey) are made from Fireweed honey gathered from the property’s bee hives. The honey is fermented for six to eight months in stainless steel fermentation tanks, each lovingly given a girl’s name like Holly or Emma.
Given the creative impulse that led Abel & Amanda Brennan to transform a standard dairy farm into today’s berry winery, it’s not surprising the blueberry wine and honey is blended into their Blueberry Mead. The result pairs remarkably well with anything from smoked Gouda to spicy shrimp dishes. With close ties to the community, Coastal Black hosts many local charity and family-friendly events like an its annual Pumpkin Festival and The Coastal Black Christmas, complete with several live reindeer that call Coastal Black home. The events are usually held
in the winery’s massive barn, presently being outfitted with a 40-foot-long wooden bar, the logs being felled on the property and then milled at the family sawmill. Coastal Black Winery will be joining us at Lucky’s Liquor Store at the Country Club Centre in Nanaimo for our second annual Indulge event at 7 p.m. on June 11 featuring only Vancouver Island wineries, cideries and distilleries.

With Father’s Day coming up, here’s a recipe for a classic Dagwood sandwich
You know what Dad really wants for Father’s Day this year? A sandwich. No, seriously. Guys generally are not complex creatures. And they don’t tend to ask for much. The occasional electronic gizmo (which they’d rather pick out for themselves anyway, thank you very much). Maybe tickets to a sports game. Perhaps somebody else to mow the lawn for once. Heck, even just a night off to play poker with his buddies. See what I mean? Guys are easy. Which is why no matter what sort of dad you have, chances are very good that he would love somebody to make him a killer sandwich. Which is to say, you can’t just make him a ham and cheese on white bread. Even basic guys like a great sandwich, emphasis on the

great. So we created a sandwich inspired by one of the most famous sandwich-loving dads: Dagwood Bumstead. His version was more difficult to eat — and often twice the size of his head — but we tamed it only slightly. Serve with a pickle spear and a pile of crisp potato chips or french fries. FATHERS DAY DAGWOOD SANDWICH Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 1 1/4 cup cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar Hefty pinch kosher salt 1/4-inch thick slice red onion, separated into rings 2 slices soft deli-style rye bread 1 slice soft dark pumpernickel bread Light mayonnaise Deli mustard Thousand Island or Russian dressing 2 slices deli-sliced turkey
2 slices deli-sliced ham 2 slices provolone cheese 2 tablespoons sliced roasted red pepper, patted dry 2 large leaves romaine lettuce 2 slices pastrami 2 slices Swiss cheese 3 slices crisp-cooked bacon 2 slices tomato 2 tablespoons sliced banana peppers 2 large green olives In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Microwave on high until simmering, 30 to 45 seconds, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the onion rings, stir, cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the 2 slices of rye and 1 slice of pumpernickel on the counter. Spread 1 slice rye with light mayonnaise, spread the second slice of rye with deli mustard, then spread the slice of pumpernickel with Thousand Island or Russian dressing. Start assembling the sandwich
with a slice of rye on the bottom. Top with the turkey, ham, provolone and roasted red peppers, in that order. Top with 1 of the leaves of romaine, folding it as needed to fit the sandwich. Add the slice of pumpernickel bread, then top that with the pastrami, Swiss cheese and bacon. Top the bacon with the second leaf of romaine, again folding to fit. Top with the tomato slices and banana peppers. Drain the onions and pat dry with paper towels. Layer the onions over the sandwich and top with the second slice of rye. Cut the whole sandwich in half, placing a large toothpick topped with an olive into each side to hold it together.

ith the recent warm weather, parents and caregivers are offering a variety of fluids to quench the thirst of their infants and toddlers. From birth to six months old, the only food recommended for babies is breast milk. There is no need for additional water in the first six months even in hot weather. If anything else is given to babies including water, juice, formula or solid foods, it can change the bacterial content of the gut and may lead to illness. Breast milk is produced on demand, so if baby drinks other fluids, the amount of available breast milk may be reduced. For babies who are formula fed, offer only store bought cow’s milk based formula from birth to six months and continue with this formula along with solid foods until baby is one year old. Today’s infant formula has enough nutrients so there is no need to offer juice, water or solid foods prior to six months of age. Formula fed infants should be fed on demand and they will probably demand more formula to get extra liquid on very hot days. At six months, an infant’s mouth and gut are usually mature enough to handle other fluids and solids. Water can be offered in a cup along with solid foods at mealtimes. Since breastfeeding will continue for two years and beyond, water is still not necessary, but this is the time to teach baby how to drink water from a cup. By six months, it is not necessary to boil the water that baby drinks if it comes from a safe source. Juice is not recommended for infants or toddlers. Too much juice can lead to picky eaters who have no appetite for food. Juice is also the leading cause of tooth decay in infants and toddlers. Cut up or mashed fruit will give your baby a small amount of fruit juice along with all the fibre and nutrients in the whole fruit. Water is the best fluid for quenching thirst in children of all ages. Soft drinks, crystal drinks, sports drinks and sugar sweetened fruit juices like blends, cocktails, punches, and fruit drinks are not recommended for children at any age. The high sugar content will take away a child’s appetite. Drinking anything sweetened for thirst will only make children thirstier. If a child says, “more juice please”, give them water. Very young babies will get all the fluid they need at their mother’s breasts. After six months, water will quench their thirst on those hot days of summer. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

Former model dresses up vegan dishes in new cookbook THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — After years in the modelling industry, Jessica Milan has transitioned from the catwalk to the culinary world. The Toronto-based model-turned-photographer combined her work behind the camera with a love of cooking in founding the vegan food blog Lookbook Cookbook. The term “lookbook”
is widely used in fashion circles, describing the set of photos featuring a designer’s new collection, typically for marketing purposes. “I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my life and I’ve always been really into healthy eating,” said Milan, 29. “I think especially when you model, obviously you want to look and feel your best and still enjoy food. So, I really
started getting into the cooking more ... trying to create healthy meals for myself that still tasted as good and were fun to eat.” Unlike other food-focused sites where the dish is the star attraction, Milan adopted a magazine-style flair in capturing images. Enlisting both professional models and novices, Milan showcases a diverse group of women digging into her dishes
while posing for the camera. “I just tell them really to be themselves and just go for it — just to eat.” Milan’s recipes and photography have been featured in Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Marie Claire and Glamour, as well as fashion sites like American Apparel and Urban Outfitters. With her new book Lookbook Cookbook: Simple, Delicious, Glu-
ten-Free & Vegan Dishes (Page Street Publishing Co.), Milan has broadened beyond her dessert-focused blog to also feature snacks, salads, soups and smoothies. Milan said the 85 recipes are also soy-free, and most are also absent of refined sugar. “I think it’s definitely always nice to own something physical. It’s easier when you’re in a kitchen to cook,” Milan said.

Nanaimo’s Clark third at nationals Eighteen-year-old ‘content’ with result ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
O
ne of Nanaimo Judo Club’s top athletes has returned from the national championships with another medal. Braxton Clark, 18, ended his successful season on the competitive circuit with a bronze medal in the U21 -90kg category. VIU electronics student Clark also won the same medal at the Canada Winter Games back in February. “I was content,” said Clark on winning bronze. “It would have been nice to make it to the finals but the guy who I lost to (to get there), we were three and three going into it and he just got the better of me on that day.” The nationals experience is a familiar one to Clark with this year being his fifth time, but he says the 2015 championships held in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., were one of the best ever. “This one was more well put on I thought,” he said. “For the finals, they had a select mat with special lighting. They had pump up music for the walk-on and a smoke machine as well — I’ve never seen that before at nationals.” Clark was joined in Quebec by Colton Davie, Cheyenne Fiandor, Alicia Fiandor, Vanessa Kruger, Jarrett Theberge and Akela Szasz. Alicia Fiandor, Theberge and Szasz all finished fifth in their respective categories after losing in their bronze medal matches. Sensei Eloy Fiandor said there were a couple “hiccups” along the way but said he was proud and pleased of the efforts the

club’s athletes put in. “Braxton could’ve fought for gold but he did good and is pretty consistent,” said Fiandor. “Akela was a bit of an anomaly as she won two fights in the round robin and normally that would be enough to make it to the final. But she won on less points than some of the others so didn’t automatically get there.” Cheyenne and Alicia Fiandor will now travel with father Eloy to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the U.S. Open on July 17. Szasz will also compete. For Clark, he now steps away from the competition arena for a few months to concentrate on school, but will still train two to three times a week to keep in shape. “I’ll get right back into judo in September,” he said. “I still love it.” Ross.Armour@ nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230 » We want to hear from you.

“The only reason that we’re even limited at 52 boats is that we’re limited by moorage at some of the stops.“ Jeff Motley, organizer
Nanaimo as the starting and endpoint of the race keeps with the original vision of the event. “Originally, the folks who came up with the idea for the race lived in Nanaimo,” Motley said, “so the tradition has kind of stayed that this is where the race starts and stops.” Yacht racers are expected to return all day on June 19. The best places to watch the yachts sail out on Saturday will be from the W.E. Mills Pier at the Nanaimo waterfront, Motley said. When the race set sail for the first time in 1999, the number of competitiors entered was in the high-teens. However, it has grown each year and has now hit 52 — but it could be more. “It’s really, really become popular,” Motley said. “The only reason that we’re even limited at 52 boats is that we’re limited by moorage in
some of the stops — there’s just not enough room at some places to park the boats.” After a Salvation Army pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. Saturday, the first leg of the race takes yachters from Nanaimo to the Comox Valley, with a finish line set near Shoreline Drive in Bowser. A fun race/lay day on June 7 with inshore activities hosted by the Comox Sailing Club is followed by the second leg of the race on June 8 starting at 9 a.m. to Campbell River. On June 9, the race enters Stage 3 from Hardwicke Island to Telegraph Cove before heading to Port Hardy on June 11. Racers then began to head south going from Port Hardy to Winter Harbour on June 12, Winter Harbour to Ucluelet on June 14, and Ucluelet to Victoria on June 17. The two-week journey concludes June 19 with the final stage taking racers from Victoria back to Nanaimo, and the public is again invited to watch the boats come in from W.E. Mills Pier.

viewers are not turning away from Stroumboulopoulos any more than they would during other game breaks. “The big danger in our business is you’re programming for millions of people — you don’t want to let the dozens of people on Twitter tell you what to do.� Other changes move Ron MacLean’s “Rogers Hometown Hockey� over to Sportsnet from City starting Oct. 10, which Pelley said was the plan from Day 1. He said the move will allow City to build a new animation comedy block featuring “Family Guy� and “Bob’s Burgers.� Moore, who also touted Sportsnet’s best ratings in its 17-year history, adds that MacLean will get more screen time in a second season of “Hometown,� through more pre-game and post-game reports.
CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — There is plenty of room for improvement on “Hockey Night in Canada� but none of it has to do with controversial rookie host George Stroumboulopoulos, says Rogers Media boss Scott Moore. As the Saturday night staple wraps its first season as a Rogers property, Moore said Tuesday that tweaks are planned for the show’s second pass and he stands by the former CBC personality’s controversial tenure. “People love to debate certain things in Canada and almost anything involving hockey on Saturday night becomes a debating point,� the president of Sportsnet and NHL properties, said at the launch of Rogers’ fall season. “I think Strombo’s settled in really, really nicely. The playoffs were terrific for him and we expect people to grow even more used to him next year.� Some of HNIC’s more outspoken viewers remain staunchly opposed to the new face of the Saturday night double-header, the result of Rogers’ 12 years, $5.2-billion deal for NHL broadcast rights. Moore says viewership is up overall on television — but barely, at two per cent. “‘Hockey Night in Canada’ — was it up as much as we would like? No, but I think the boys in blue down the street might have had something to do with that,� said Moore, citing the disappointing performance of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He expects more interest next season with the arrival of new Leafs coach Mike Babcock, and budding young star Connor McDavid joining the league, likely in Edmonton assuming the Oilers select him first overall in the draft later this month.
TAMPA, Fla. — Steve Yzerman sees some of himself in Jonathan Toews but thinks the Chicago Blackhawks’ captain is a better player than he was during his Hall of Fame career. “The reality is Jonathan’s bigger, stronger — better,� the Tampa Bay Lightning general manager said. “I’m not sure I could even take him in a race, either, so he’s probably faster. “Just a better hockey player.� Toews goes into the Stanley Cup final against Yzerman’s Lightning with his name on the trophy twice and close to matching the longtime Detroit Red Wings captain’s mark of three titles. On Tuesday, the 2010 Conn Smythe Trophy winner, 2013 Selke Trophy winner and two-time Olympic gold medallist brushed off the effusive praise from Yzerman. “Steve is a very complimentary person, and I don’t think he’d say anything less than that,� Toews said. “I just take that with a grain of salt.�

“You don’t want to let the dozens of people on Twitter tell you what to do.“ Scott Moore, Rogers Media
Rogers Media president Keith Pelley says it’s not fair to focus solely on linear TV ratings when more and more people are turning to other platforms, including Game Centre Live and on-demand mobile options. “It is a multiplatform, longterm rights deal and so you can’t look at the linear ratings in isolation,� said Pelley. Still, Moore expected to see
adjustments to HNIC in the off-season, guided by detailed analytics, including minute-byminute ratings and audience surveys. For one thing, he’d like to see more consistency in who is on the panel on a particular night. “We’ll be looking to tweak over the next little while,� said Moore, who rates the first year “a strong 7.5 out of 10.� “We experimented a lot in the first season to figure out who worked well with whom. We have a really good indication now of what works for us on Saturday in primary playoffs and that’s Elliotte Friedman, Kelly Hrudey and Nick Kypreos.� And from what he can tell,

Blue Jays, Nationals split doubleheader THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Jordan Zimmermann shut down the highest-scoring team in the majors. Bryce Harper gave him all the support he needed. Zimmermann blanked the Blue Jays for eight innings, Harper hit a go-ahead single off R.A. Dickey and the Washington Nationals ended a three-game losing streak by beating Toronto 2-0 Tuesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Zimmermann (5-2) threw a season-high 105 pitches and helped save a struggling bullpen. “He was in command from the first pitch, throwing it where he wanted to,” Nationals manager Matt Willams said. “Early on, he was keeping his pitch count down, which allowed him to go deep.” Harper singled during a two-run fifth against Dickey (2-6). A day after rain postponed the first meeting between the teams since 2012, the game began with only a few dozen fans in the stands. Zimmermann (5-2) gave up six hits, struck out four and walked one to win for the third time in four starts. After Toronto loaded the bases with one out in the seventh, Zimmermann got Russell Martin to ground into a double play. Rather than go for his first complete game since throwing a no-hitter last year on the final day of the regular season, Zimmermann deferred to Washington’s closer. Drew Storen pitched a perfect ninth, earning his 17th save in 18 chances for the NL East leaders. “There was no discussion,” Zimmermann said about returning for the ninth. “That was Drew’s job. He can have it.” Harper’s single gave him 29 RBI in his last 27 games. Ryan Zimmerman added a sacrifice fly later in the inning. Dickey (2-6) gave up eight hits, struck out six and walked one in six innings.

ummy’s ten was covered by the jack and ace and followed by a low heart for the ten. West switched to the jack of clubs as declarer ruffed to play a second low trump. West, perforce, won the ace and tapped South with a a second club. The top spades came next on which declarer discarded a diamond, noting the fall of the nine. Theaceofdiamondswas cashed, dropping the queen, and was followed by the eight ofspades. East elected topitch as South parted with another diamond. South ruffed a club in hand and exited with the ten of diamonds. East’s trump queen was trapped and South won the last two tricks with the king-jack of hearts, N-S +620. It would not avail East to trump the eight of spades. Declarer would overruff, extract the last trump and concede a diamond to score another ten tricks. West could defeat the contract by returning a spade or a diamond after winning the ten of hearts. South cannot prevent East from scoring the queen of hearts in this scenario. North’s resolve to raise to four hearts was a wacky decision. The contract would not be a high percentage one even if partner held ace-king-jack seventh of hearts. He should pass the pre-empt in search of a plus score with the fervent hope that East might balance!

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Appreciate the ease of relating to others that you seem to be experiencing right now. An awkward moment could occur when relating to a child. You might need to figure out what is going on and take another stab at this same conversation. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will be able to identify with a partner over a difficult issue or need. Nevertheless, you still might not agree with this person. For the sake of peace, consider going along for the ride and seeing what happens. Tonight: Make plans for a summer getaway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to get through problems is heightened. You will need to defer to someone else more frequently; otherwise, you could find it difficult to relate to this person. Both of you have valid ideas. Hold off on making judgments for now. Tonight: Buy a token gift of affection. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your diligence and willingness to pitch in will score high with others, specifically a close friend or loved one who counts on your caring. You could be feeling as if you don’t have enough time to do what you want. Revise your schedule if need be. Tonight: Play it easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 24) You have so many ideas right now that you might find it difficult to get into a routine, though you might have to. Others seem to enjoy your upbeat nature, but a boss expects more, and that
becomes clear. Avoid a problem rather than create one. Tonight: Be fluid. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to rethink a matter more thoroughly. You might not realize how important this issue is for you until something goes wrong. Keep a steady course. Reiterate any question if you are not clear about the response. Tonight: Go out and let off some steam. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Speak your mind and get past an issue. Everything will work out, though perhaps not immediately. For now, you need to be more in touch with what you need rather than what others need. News heads in from a distance, and quite quickly at that. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use good sense with your finances. You need to hear what someone else has to say. You might be thinking of an investment for which you will need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: Have an important discussion with someone in the know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will appreciate the support you get from several people. The real question is: Can you open up more without feeling like you are taking a risk? Someone might surprise you with an insight that is not only provocative but also enticing. Tonight: A quick check on your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be much more involved in a situation than you need to be. Why not deal with the issue another day? Tomorrow would work. Try to stay out of noncontroversial waters, as it
probably won’t bring you any kind of benefit. Tonight: How about a massage? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will zero in on what is important and go full speed ahead. You could discover that the time has come to act. Use caution with someone whom you need to have an important discussions with. You might reveal a lot about yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) No one likes dealing with mayhem, especially with finances, but you’ll witness a friend create just that. You could be taken aback by this person’s bluntness. Know that you need to get involved. Just be polite, and don’t let him or her get to you. Tonight: Time for some fun. YOUR BIRTHDAY (June 3) This year you display not only an adventurous streak but also a conservative thought process. You often alternate from being extremely cautious to taking a walk on the wild side. You have a tendency to overindulge. Be careful with your finances. If you are single, others might be somewhat reticent to approach you. Nevertheless, in the next few months you could meet someone quite significant to your life. If you are attached, the two of you are quite content to be alone together. You do not need others to be happy. CAPRICORN knows how to suggest alternatives to you.

OBITUARY
Jean Ritchie, folk music expert
LUQMAN ADENIYI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jean Ritchie, the Kentucky-born folksinger who brought the centuries-old ballads she grew up with to a wide audience from the 1950s onward, died Monday evening. She was 92. Ritchie died in her home in Berea, Kentucky, with family around her, her niece Judy Hudson said. The tall, red-haired Ritchie, who grew up in Kentucky’s Cumberland mountains, sang ballads with a clear soprano voice. She accompanied herself on the guitar, autoharp or the mountain dulcimer, a string instrument played while placed on the performer’s lap that Ritchie helped rescue from obscurity. Among the hundreds of songs she performed were “Black is the Colour of My True Love’s Hair,” “Old Virginny,” “One Morning in
May” and “Aunt Sal’s Song.” Hudson said Ritchie suffered a stroke several years ago and moved back to Kentucky from the East Coast. As part of the folk music boom of the 1950s and ’60s, she was a contemporary of such giants as Pete Seeger, Odetta and Doc Watson. She influenced a generation of younger singers such as Judy Collins and Emmylou Harris. “I see folk music as a river that never stopped flowing,” she told The New York Times in 1980. “Sometimes a few people go to it and sometimes a lot of people do. But it’s always there.” Johnny Cash recorded her “The L. & N. Don’t Stop Here Anymore” and Harris performed “Sweet Sorrow in the Wind.” In a 1978 Rolling Stone interview, Bob Dylan cited her as one of the folksingers he listened to, along
with Woody Guthrie, Big Bill Broonzy and Leadbelly. Last fall, Ritchie appeared on her last CD, Dear Jean: Artists Celebrate Jean Ritchie, a two CD tribute that featured an old recording of Ritchie’s and another track that included a recording of her leading an audience before her stroke. “Nobody was more important than Jean not only in bringing the old songs to new audiences but also in encouraging generations of new musicians,” said Dan Schatz, who co-produced the CD. “Nobody in the music community will ever forget Jean.” Her books included The Swapping Song Book, a 1952 collection of songs she sang as a child in Kentucky, accompanied by notes on life and customs in the Cumberland Mountains and photos by her husband, photographer George Pickow.
Children always need parents’ love, support Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My friend “Nancy” has become one of those stepmothers who negatively influences her husband’s relationship with his adult children. When things began to turn sour between Nancy and her husband’s daughter, who lived nearby, the daughter retaliated by distancing herself from her father, refusing to see him and avoiding his calls. Nancy persuaded her husband to move across the country. She blames the move on the daughter, who “drove them away,” but I’m sure his daughter sees it as Nancy making sure Dad is totally alienated from his family. Now, when Nancy’s husband speaks of visiting his daughter and her family, Nancy actively tries to discourage him, reminding him that he wasn’t treated properly. Family members have suggested to Nancy that she allow her husband to handle his relationship with his daughter on his own, but she’s unwilling to do that. I hope Nancy’s husband reads this and sees himself. Perhaps other men with controlling wives will, too. He should remember that his relationship with his children predates his marriage to Nancy and that he needs to honour that relationship and quit being so passive around his wife. — On the Sidelines, but Been There Dear Sidelines: Many men would rather abandon their children than fight with their wives. They also figure the kids don’t need them that much. But truthfully, kids always need their parents’ love and support, and once a husband takes a firm stand on the issue, the arguments tend to be shorter, and the

wife often backs off. But it takes some initial effort. And by the way, this dynamic works with either spouse. There are husbands who push their wives to move away from their kids, and the wives allow it. Sometimes it borders on an abusive, isolating relationship. You can’t force someone to grow a spine. You’ve expressed your opinion to Nancy, and she has chosen to ignore you. We hope her husband finds a way to reconcile with his daughter before the estrangement is permanent.
Dear Annie: Last night, my husband finally came home after being away for three weeks. He was exhausted, mentally and physically. He is still tense, and I know it will take him at least a week to recover. My husband is a trial lawyer. When he takes a case, he applies all of his training and skill, as well as his physical and mental energy toward helping his client. He wears himself out worrying about the case. He works as hard as he can on his client’s behalf until the case is finished. It takes a toll, but I am proud of him. I wish the people who make jokes about lawyers could see how much my husband cares for his clients and how hard he works for them. — Married To a Lawyer Dear Married: What a sweet and supportive letter. Lawyers generally have a terrible reputation (“sharks” comes to mind), but most attorneys are dedicated and extremely hardworking professionals. Their job is to represent the client. They are obligated to do their best, but others often blame the attorney if the client is unpopular or the lawyer is aggressive in the client’s defense. But everyone is entitled to legal representation, and no one would want an attorney who makes a half-hearted effort. And many lawyers work pro bono (unpaid) cases in what little spare time they have. Thanks for the testimonial.

FIFA president will resign
Warriors’ Thompson cleared to compete
Sepp Blatter defied global animosity last week to win four more years in office DANIELLA MATAR AND GRAHAM DUNBAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZURICH — The end for Sepp Blatter came suddenly, just days after he had seemingly solidified his hold on FIFA. The 79-year-old leader of the world’s most popular sport defied global animosity last week to win four more years in office. But his re-election only increased the pressure from colleagues, sponsors, athletes and fans for Blatter to step down as FIFA’s president. At a hastily arranged news conference Tuesday, Blatter announced he would leave office within months and called for a fresh election to appoint a successor. “I cherish FIFA more than anything and I want to do only what is best for FIFA and for football,” said Blatter, who could still be a target of U.S. investigators delving into decades of corruption and bribery accusations against FIFA officials. After generations under Blatter and his mentor, Joao Havelange, the announcement left FIFA without a leader and without a clear course forward. It sets off a global power struggle for control of the organization as a criminal investigation intensifies. A strained and serious Blatter read a six-minute statement in French before exiting without taking questions. Blatter had been defiant and feisty in the same room on Satur-

day, fending off questions about FIFA’s battered reputation and the chance he could be arrested. His mood had changed in the 24 hours before his announcement, Blatter aide Walter Gagg told The Associated Press. A federal indictment last week detailed apparent bribes from a FIFA account totalling $10 million to senior officials for voting South Africa as the 2010 World Cup host. Late Monday, reports laid a clearer trail of complicity to the door of FIFA headquar-
ters, if not Blatter himself. “We know that the in the last 48 hours he was thinking of the future and perhaps what happened in the last hours, this gave him the conviction,” Gagg, a long-time confidante of Blatter, told the AP in a telephone interview. “We had lunch with him yesterday (Monday). He was relaxed he was fine,” Gagg said. “I had a very good meeting with him early in the morning (today). Then came the different information
from the U.S. with this and that.” The South African angle threatens to tarnish memories of a bid campaign that brought Nelson Mandela to Zurich for the winning vote in 2004. At risk also is the legacy of a World Cup that was an organizational triumph for FIFA and South Africa, and bolstered Blatter’s reputation as a friend of Africa whose loyalty stood firm in Friday’s election. Even before the election, Blatter’s ability to travel to the U.S., or other countries where a Swiss national risked arrest and extradition, had become a distracting story. Blatter’s vigour in acclaiming his election victory — a 133-73 win over Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan — was gone by Tuesday. “This mandate does not seem to be supported by everybody in the world of football,” Blatter said. “I will continue to exercise my function (until the new election).” Elections are expected to take place sometime between December and March. Prince Ali declined to say if he’d run again. “I am at the disposal of all the national associations who want a change, including all of those who were afraid to make a change,” Prince Ali said in an interview with CNN. Michel Platini, the president of European body UEFA, had called for Blatter’s resignation last week before the vote.

Russell Wilson remains quiet on contract TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. — Russell Wilson provided a warning. Don’t expect him to make statements regarding his contract negotiations with the Seattle Seahawks until a deal is reached. “I’m going to be the boring,
cliche answer, but it’s the truth,” Wilson said following Seattle’s organized team activity on Tuesday that was open to the media. “Ultimately, I believe it will work out, hope that it does. I just take one day at a time. It’s a private matter. I don’t really talk about that kind of stuff.”
Even if Wilson said he won’t publicly go into detail regarding his contract situation, it’s the biggest item remaining on the Seahawks’ off-season agenda. Wilson reiterated what his agent Mark Rodgers said in a radio interview last week that he is “100 per cent” ready to play out the final year

Elimimian looks to improve on season
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Solomon Elimimian isn’t close to being satisfied. Sure he was named the CFL’s outstanding player in 2014 — a first for a full-time defender — but the B.C. Lions had an otherwise disappointing campaign, stumbling to a 9-9 regular-season before an embarrassing playoff loss. Coming off a record-breaking 143-tackle performance, the hard-hitting linebacker is eager to put in even more work to get both his team and himself back on top. “I’ve got a lot left,” the 28-year-old said at training camp this week. “I have high goals, personal goals, for myself and the team. We want to win the Grey Cup first, No. 1, but I also want to be the best player again. “That’s just something that’s in my mindset and I’m going to work hard every day to accomplish that goal.” Lions head coach Jeff Tedford, who was hired in December, is getting his first look at Elimimian in person and sees what the rest of the league has known for a while. “He’s a great player,” said Tedford.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson has been cleared to return after his concussion and play in the NBA Finals. The Warriors announced after practice on Tuesday that Thompson completed the NBA’s concussion protocol and will be ready to play Game 1 on Thursday night against Cleveland. “I feel great, honestly,” Thompson said before the announcement was made. “These past two days, I feel like I’ve got my wind back. Tomorrow is the final tuneup. Just trying to stop the nerves and anxiousness, or keep them down as much as possible.” The All-Star shooting guard was concussed in the fourth quarter of Golden State’s clinching victory in the Western Conference finals against Houston on May 27. Team doctors initially cleared Thompson to return to the game after he was kneed in the head. He ended up not playing, and the team said he started developing symptoms after the game. Thompson was diagnosed with the concussion last Friday and missed two days of practice. He returned to the court on Monday and has been symptom free. “I was confident yesterday,” Thompson said. “Today was just the icing on the cake.” NBA union chief Michele Roberts said she was “mortified” that Thompson had been cleared despite later being diagnosed with a concussion. Thompson said he understands the difficulty of diagnosing concussions and felt fortunate that he ended up not playing after the injury. “It’s tough because my adrenaline was high,” he said. “I felt alert, I felt focused. They ultimately made a great call not putting me back in.”

of his rookie contract that will pay him $1.5 million and see what happens from there. “I want to be here for a long time, but if that’s the case I’ve just got to get ready to play,” Wilson said. “I love the game, and I love being out here with these guys.”

“He’s very gifted, a great leader, runs to the ball, very smart guy, has great instincts to play the game.” Those instincts helped keep B.C.’s head above water for long stretches last year after a number of key injuries crippled the team’s attack. That put a lot of pressure on a defence that was simply on the field too much and eventually crumbled, with the low point coming in that 50-17 playoff defeat to the Montreal Alouettes. “The biggest thing for us is just to be great every game,” said Elimimian. “We have a lot of goals for our defence and one is to be the best.” Along with fellow linebacker Adam Bighill, the Lions rewarded Elimimian with a contract extension through 2017 in the off-season. But that doesn’t mean he feels comfortable. “You always have to take this job very seriously because there’s guys that always want your job,” said Elimimian, who was also voted the CFL’s top defensive player last season. “It takes hard work, it takes never being complacent and always striving for more.”

Disney ‘Playmation’ is a new line of wearable toys with movie themes
Popular show is back for summer viewing
RYAN NAKASHIMA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Disney is launching a line of toys that combines high-tech wearable gadgets and old-school superhero role-playing to keep kids moving while engrossing them in subplots from The Avengers, Star Wars and Frozen. It’s Disney’s most ambitious game concept meshing real objects and virtual worlds since August 2013, when the family entertainment giant released its Disney Infinity video game that featured figurines and digital characters from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” ”Toy Story“ and other franchises. The new line, called “Disney’s Playmation,” hits stores in October with the release of a forearm attachment called a “repulsor” that puts kids in the role of Marvel superhero Iron Man. The Associated Press was given an early look at the product line being unveiled Tuesday in Los Angeles. The onboard voice of J.A.R.V.I.S. — Iron Man’s computing system — guides children aged six and older through the first series of 25 missions, where they must use their imaginations to navigate different terrains, then use the repulsor to fire missiles, shoot beams and raise shields. Kids must physically jump or hide to dodge incoming attacks in order to progress and earn points. Two sensor-laden base stations called “power activators” serve as stands for figurines, which pop off when they’ve sustained enough damage. The first so-called “smart figures” are miniature versions of Captain America and villain Iron Skull. Infrared and other sensors inside the armband and base stations help determine whether shots hit the target and if players dodged or hid successfully. If players fail to dodge well, a buzz inside the armband represents getting hit. For now, up to

two players can go on missions together or play against each other. Adding further players to the system is being planned for the future. The suggested retail price for the initial package is $120. Another package going on sale in November features Hulk hands — where the action focuses on air-punching and throwing imaginary objects. Star Wars themed packages will roll out in 2016, after Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens debuts in December. Frozen packages will go on sale in 2017. Walt Disney Co. worked on the game over several years and tapped staff from numerous divisions, including storytellers from Marvel Studios, theme park Imagineers, video game programmers from Disney Inter-
active and elsewhere. Toymaker Hasbro Inc. manufactured the physical pieces. The challenge in creating a new toy concept was to engage kids who expect toys to have an online component, while nevertheless keeping them active and not just staring at a computer or tablet screen, said Kareem Daniel, senior vice-president of strategy and business development for Disney’s consumer products division. “The way that kids are playing is evolving,” he said. “We wanted to make active physical play more exciting.” Jim Silver, the CEO and editor of toy review website TTPM. com who also got an early look, said the product was a “breakthrough” because of the way it
integrated technology and classic play patterns. He said there was nothing like it, noting that wearables typically have focused just on fitness. “Kids are aspirational, they want to become the heroes,” he said. “Parents will love that it’s classic play.” “Connectivity is really something that even little kids now expect,” said Marc Rosenberg, a toy consultant and CEO of SkyBluePinkConcepts LLC, who had the new product line described to him by a reporter. He also said there weren’t many wearable products for kids, though he cited the Nex band, a youngadult-focused wearable meant to have modular add-on elements that link wearers with games and social networks.
NEW YORK — Memorial Day isn’t the only sign of summer. The return of America’s Got Talent to television screens, along with a liberal dose of reality shows and reruns, are just as reliable as thermometers. NBC was last week’s most popular television network for the first week since it televised the Super Bowl, helped primarily by America’s Got Talent. The popular summer show was the only one to register more than 10 million viewers last week on the night it was broadcast. The Nielsen company’s list of top 20 programs last week also included three prime-time newsmagazines besides 60 Minutes. The news shows provide relatively cheap programming for networks looking to cut costs in the normally slow summer months. As for breezy diversions, CBS’ The Briefcase was the week’s most popular reality show, while NBC’s American Ninja Warrior and I Can Do That both scored well among the younger aged viewers. NBC’s well-publicized summer series Aquarius landed in the top 20, but the 1960s-themed show attracted an older audience, which is not a plus in the TV business. NBC averaged 5.5 million viewers for the week and easily won among the 18-to-49-year-old demographic it targets. CBS averaged 5.4 million, ABC had 3.9 million, Fox had 2.7 million, Univision had 2.2 million, Telemundo had 1.4 million, ION Television had 1.2 million and the CW had one million.
