Council to look at hotel buy-back Developer has been paid $65K by NEDC to promote Nanaimo in China as part of advertising effort SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Council will vote Monday whether to extend its option to buy back land slated for a downtown conference centre hotel development to next year, at the request of the Chinese developer. The city currently has several agreements with SSS Manhao International Tourism Group, one of which includes an optionto-purchase agreement that came into effect at the end of May.
The agreement gives the city the right to buy back the property from SSS Manhao at its original price — $565,000 — if the developer did not get a building permit for the 240-room hotel by May 30 of this year. With that deadline passed, the city has until Nov. 30 to exercise the agreement. The developer has asked the city to extend the deadline by one year, citing delays in design and preparation work for the project. Lawyers representing
the company are set to appear before council on Monday. However, some on council are beginning to lose patience with the lack of progress on the project, which was publicly announced in 2013. In late May, council voted 5-4 to support a motion from Coun. Diane Brennan to postpone consideration of the extension, after it appeared there may not enough votes to secure an extension of the option to purchase agreement. SSS Manhao has also been
paid $65,000 to promote the Nanaimo region in the Shanghai and Suzhou markets as part of a larger advertising campaign, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation CEO Sasha Angus said Wednesday. Angus said he was preparing a report for council outlining details of the advertising spending. Nanaimo staff are recommending that council agree to a one-year extension of the option to purchase agreement. A report before council lays out alterna-
tive options, including buying back the property immediately or delaying the purchase until October, when the current development permit expires.

Groups plan to pressure council to go against advice from city staff SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
A
nimal welfare groups are expected to pressure Nanaimo city council on Monday to vote in favour of implementing a mandatory spay/neuter and licensing program for cats, despite contrary advice from the city’s bylaw department. The recommendation from staff instead calls for establishing an “education program” on the care of cats, citing costs of $100,000 to $150,000 to license and regulate cats. Nanaimo and District SPCA branch manager Leon Davis said he is disappointed with the recommendation, which he said is not enough to address the city’s population of stray or feral cats. Three hundred strays come into the Nanaimo shelter each year, only 15 per cent on which are re-united with owners. Davis also said he wants council to see a draft proposal formed by the city through consultation with the SPCA and other groups earlier this year. The proposal would have made spaying a neutering cats mandatory, while dropping the licensing requirement in favour of measures to make sure a lost or recovered cat could be identified. Davis, who posted a copy of the proposed changes on Facebook, said they are not included in the staff report coming before council on Monday. “A lot of work was done by city staff, there was a lot of resources put in to consult with other agencies,” he said. “Now, somewhere between March and now, that

draft bylaw and all of that work seems to have been dropped. “(Council) should be able to see the result of all that work,” Davis said, adding that cost cited in the city report is no longer relevant, since the SPCA and other groups have acknowledged cat licensing is a “no-go for Nanaimo.” Rod Davidson, the city’s assistant manager for bylaw regulation and security, declined comment on why the initial proposal referenced by Davis was not

mentioned in the report, but said the recommendation gives city staff the option of reviewing cat regulations in the future. “We want time to study it a little bit further,” he said. The Nanaimo CatNap Society, whose volunteers rescue 250 to 300 mostly unneutered or unspayed feral cats each year, had also called for mandatory spay and neuter rules. “We’re just hoping that city council and the mayor will take a

proactive approach,” said Kathi Baart, executive director for the society. Council will also consider a proposal to amend its animal control bylaw to impose a $500 fine and other penalties for dog owners who leave their animal without proper ventilation or adequate leashing.

Dangerous offender law reviewed Prosecutors say rulings in recent cases are significant developments following on legislative changes A recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling in Nanaimo may have larger legal ramifications for parts of the Criminal Code’s danger offender provisions. On Tuesday, Justice David Masuhara declared Kenneth Wayne Gillespie 68, a dangerous offender and sentenced him to an indeterminate prison sentence, following a conviction in 2012 for a sexual assault.
But Masuhara also ruled in favour of a defence application to find section 753.1.1 of the Criminal Code unconstitutional. That section states that criminals convicted of two prior serious personal injury offences could be automatically declared dangerous offenders following a third conviction for a similar offence. On Monday, Masuhara had also decided to follow a separate ruling fellow B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Voith to declare a

separate ‘general’ section of the dangerous offender law unconstitutional. The law, part of changes brought in by the Harper government in 2008, removes judicial discretion over who can be declared a dangerous offender, the ruling states. Crown lawyer Frank Dubenski, part of a team of prosecutors on the Gillespie file, said the rulings are significant developments. “The full impact of the constitutional rulings are still being
reviewed,” he said outside of court Tuesday. “But at the very least, it does cause concern (for prosecutors),” he said. Dubenski said there will be no short-term impacts from the rulings, noting that a ruling on the constitutionality of the general section of the law has been suspended for a year. “It may be that a court of appeal at some point will resolve this, or the Supreme Court of Canada, but all of that is very
premature at this point,” Dubenski said. The Department of Justice did not return a call for comment. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to letters@nanaimodailynews.com. Letters must include daytime phone number and hometown.

Revamp ICF, says Routley ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Calls for the Island Corridor Foundation to be restructured are being rebuffed by Judith Sayers, the foundation’s co-chairwoman. Doug Routley, MLA for Nanaimo-North Cowichan and rail critic for the NDP, said this week that the management of the ICF needs to be “shaken up” due to what he called a lack of accountability and transparency. Routley said the NDP wants an expert review committee to be established to create a business plan in a more open and accountable manner. Routley’s comments were made after the release of a report that concluded the $15 million that has been allocated for track improvements along the E&N corridor is probably not enough for the railway to operate in a safe manner. “The ICF needs a management model that is accountable and responsive to the stakeholders in the rail line,” Routley said. But Sayers said the ICF is an independent corporate body that “tries to keep its distance” from politics due to liability issues and to ensure “smoother operations.” She said the ICF just had an AGM and there were no concerns raised by the members over the management. The ICF is “doing fine” financially and has formed “great partnerships” to create the trail systems along the line, Sayers added. “There’s lots that we’re doing well and we have nothing to hide, but getting the trains back on the track is taking longer that we anticipated,” she said. “We’re pushing as hard as we can, but the bureaucratic processes take time. We don’t even have a timeline (for the reintroduction of passenger trains) anymore.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

hen Sanjivan Mahara returned from Nepal last month, he knew he had to do whatever he could to help the beleaguered country after its devastating earthquakes. Speaking at the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon on Wednesday, the Nanaimo dentist said that it has been estimated that it could take approximately $10 billion during the next 10 years to rebuild the small Asian country. “With a hot summer and a rainy season approaching, there will be huge problems in the country as its people continue to deal with the damage to Nepal’s infrastructure and to their homes,” Mahara told the audience. “Our candlelight vigil last month for those affected by the earthquakes in Nepal raised $5,621, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going towards helping the people of the country. I’m moving ahead with other fundraising plans as well.” Mahara, 47, lived in Nepal until he moved to Canada in 1999 and eventually opened the Downtown Dental Group on Wallace Street. He has made many return trips to his home country, often to do free dental work and help impoverished people there, and was in Nepal when the first of two major earthquakes struck in April. He extended his stay in Nepal by a week to give support and assistance to his extended family

members and friends before returning to Canada, but his heart and mind are still with the people in Nepal. Mahara said he wants the city’s businesses to challenge each other in fundraising goals and one way is to encourage them to buy Nepal T-shirts that he has created to sell at $20 each to raise funds for the cause. He said he originally had 500 of the T-shirts made and currently
has only 100 left after the candlelight vigil and his ongoing sales campaign. Mahara said he’s willing to have as many of the T-shirts made as there is a demand for, and he’s hoping the local business community will take up the challenge and do their part to help the people of Nepal. “I have no fundraising goal right now, but with $10 billion needed over the next 10 years, I
intend to keep going for as long as I can,” he said. T-shirts are available in all sizes from Mahara’s dental office at 5-140 Wallace St. Businesses interested in helping distribute the shirts can reach Mahara at 250-754-4322 or info@drmahara.com. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234
LABOUR
No resolution in Nanaimo Golf Club dispute ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
There is still no end in sight for the labour dispute at the Nanaimo Golf Club, which began on April 24. Michelle Travis, a spokeswoman for UNITE HERE Local 40 which represents the golf club’s serving staff, said that despite talks last week to try to end the dispute, the two sides appear to be no closer to compromise. She said that after almost seven weeks on the picket line with no hope of returning to work
soon, many of the approximately 24 servers, bartenders, cooks, dishwashers and janitors who have been locked out of their jobs are “getting frustrated.” The RCMP were called to the golf club last Saturday when the workers and their supporters held a rally to press their cause, but no major incidents were reported. According to a union official, the average wage for the workers is currently $15.37 per hour. A union press release said the golf club has rejected a pareddown contract proposal by the
union and refused to accept binding arbitration to end the dispute. Ash Chadha, general manager of the golf club, said the club wants to see the end of the dispute as well, but acknowledged that there was “no common ground” at last week’s meeting. He said he doesn’t believe the club is being “uncompromising” in the talks, as some union officials have suggested. “We’ve offered very fair proposals in regards to wages, benefits and the structure of the workers’ hours at the table,
but there are some remaining items to be worked out,” Chadha said. “We want the workers to know that we are prepared to work towards a resolution to the labour dispute with or without mediation. “We believe that the two parties can settle this between ourselves if there’s a willingness to do so and we’re prepared to do it.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Senators and MPs still need to be watched
B
efore members of Parliament get on their high horse to criticize the Senate as a soiled institution that needs a change in diapers, they should take a look at the dirt in their own stable first. No one is talking about eliminating the House of Commons because of spending abuses there. That’s not the way it works. As auditor general Michael Ferguson says in his damning report on Senate expenses, Canada’s red-faced chamber needs a major overhaul in the way its members manage and spend their money. There must be clear rules monitored and audited by an independent body. The Senate might be an anachronistic institution that has lost the respect and trust of the people, but its future is a question
for another day. For now, the priority is finding a way to ensure the politicians will behave. That is the only way public trust can be restored, assuming it has not vanished for good. Too many of the senators who got caught in Mr. Ferguson’s web have wiggled and squirmed and pretended if mistakes were made, they were honest ones. The rules weren’t clear, they say. Everyone knew what was going on; nothing was hidden; money, in some cases, will be repaid, even if nothing improper was done, and on and on. In the case of one former senator, the auditors could not even determine if all his expenses were for parliamentary business. They did find nearly $50,000 in spending that had nothing to do with Sen-
ate business, including personal travel with his wife. The various excuses and equivocations might have worked if proper auditing functions had been in place at the start. Then, at least, they could have said any transgression was committed in the cold light of day. But that wasn’t the case. Far from it. The Senate has resisted scrutiny for decades, and it never took the initiative to ensure it was accountable and transparent. Their friends in the House of Commons will undoubtedly express moral outrage, but it will be hard to take them seriously. The level of scrutiny of MPs’ spending is nowhere near the standard now being recommended by the auditor general for the Senate.
Five years ago, MPs from all parties, including the NDP, blocked auditor general Sheila Fraser’s attempt to audit House spending, which was more than $500 million. A public uproar ensued, and the House eventually agreed to a watered-down performance audit, providing no names were released. Many provinces and other countries routinely conduct full audits of their public officials, but Canada’s MPs have always acted like they have something to hide. Several cases of inappropriate spending over the years have fuelled public cynicism and reinforced the idea MPs must be audited, too. Bev Oda, the former minister of International Development, for example, paid $1,000 a day for limousine rides and $16 for a glass
of orange juice while staying in a luxury hotel in London, England. The abuse was only discovered through an access-to-information request. The audit report contains similar examples of unbelievable arrogance, such as the senator who justified an airline bill to his brother-in-law’s funeral on the grounds he was only going because he was a senator. It’s enough to make the blood boil. It better be enough to compel vigorous oversight for all representatives of Parliament.

California couple on cruise loved Nanaimo We are a couple from San Diego who had the pleasure of spending the day in your wonderful city on June 5 when our ship, Celebrity Infinity, stopped there. From the moment we stepped off the ship we felt welcomed. There were many people greeting us, food samples, entertainment, Mounties to pose for pictures and buses to take us into the centre of town. We loved the open market, the cannon firing and just wandering through the streets and waterfront. We were impressed by the beauty, but more by the many volunteers and citizens who were everywhere ready to help and tell us about their city. We really appreciated the efforts of so many to make our day so special. Thank you, Nanaimo! Patrick and Debbie Pettit San Diego, Calif.
Board must work closer with partner groups Re: ‘Decision to re-open Cedar Secondary will not be reviewed’ (Daily News, June 5) As a longtime parent leader/ advocate locally and provincially who has supported parents’ legislated rights to be involved in their children’s education, I feel that I need to clarify some misconceptions. Parents advocated for many dec-
ades to be genuinely involved with their child’s education and to have their rights and responsibilities legislated. Parents do not sign over guardianship of their children once their child starts school, so they have a responsibility to ensure that their children’s educational needs are being met. The parent voice is very important in sustaining a strong education system and the School Act supports this by clearly setting out parents’ rights and responsibilities, as well as those of the PAC and DPAC. The act sets out the minimum requirements. It does not take away the rights of parents or other community members to form other groups, such as “Save our Schools” group or the “Senior Secondary PAC Coalitions,” to advocate on behalf of students at the school, district or even provincial government levels. The act also sets out the mandate and responsibilities of locally elected school boards — to make educational and financial decisions in the best interests of the entire school district; and be accountable for those decisions to all their community members — taxpayers, parents and students. In turn those same people have the rights and responsibility to hold their local boards accountable for those decisions. Current Nanaimo-Ladysmith trustees have stated many times that they “want input from all partners” with respect to the Cedar Secondary School issue and the review of our district facility plan.
Those partners should not be limited to just education partner groups. We all have a vested interest in ensuring that the children in our community receive the best educational opportunities possible. School boards and parents can make the decisions to reach higher than what is placed minimally in the act, to actively and genuinely engage all members within their community, to support stronger decisions and a stronger public education system. Don’t our children deserve that? Kim Howland Nanaimo
Elected officials need to share dams information Re: ‘Outcome of meeting with province over dams still unclear’ (Daily News, June 8) In the public interest, perhaps the mayor and five councillors who travelled to Victoria on June 4 could share with the citizens of Nanaimo what was contained in the information package that they provided to the Deputy Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Comptroller of Water Rights. I accessed some of that information on June 5, via social media, and I understand that one document contained input from several citizens, many of whom sat on a ‘technical committee’ that had met behind closed doors for several months.
Why aren’t the officials, (who are elected to represent by means of an at-large system), disclosing more information to the public-atlarge regarding the Chase River Dams predicament? It was an injustice that so few citizens were afforded the opportunity to witness the marathon special council meeting of May 19, which was not videotaped. The city’s legal counsel was in attendance to provide advice and explain the stay and appeal process, under conditions which were, at times, very trying. No doubt, there is much emotion connected to the 100-plus-year-old dams. However, aren’t there standards and regulations in place that apply to any public safety issue regarding dams in a residential community? Don’t elected officials have a duty to do what is in the best interests of Nanaimo’s citizenry over the long term? How reassuring it is, that a member of council has publicly stated this week, that “anarchy will reign.” Janet Irvine Nanaimo Letters must include your hometown and a daytime phone number for verification purposes only.

Invitation to Carnegie Hall beckons city’s youth choir JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

f they are able to raise the funds, Nanaimo Youth Choir may have the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall next year. The choir, which recently won top honours at the B.C. Provincial Music Festival in their category for the sixth time, were invited to perform at the prestigious venue last year, but have never been able to raise the funds necessary to attend. However this year, choir director Marian Smith says she’s determined to make it happen. Put together by Distinguished Concerts International New York, the concert draws youth singers from all over the world into one performance.
“They heard us on something Shaw did a few years ago. They go looking in different areas of the country and try to pick up what they can from what children’s choirs exist and so on,” said Smith. “So they heard the kids and then they got a hold of me. This was last year, they invited us last year too and we couldn’t go.” At issue is the cost to take the 14-member choir, who range in age from 11 to 16 years old, to New York for the event. “For us to think we could bring together $2,800 or $3,000 a head to give the kids that kind of experience, we would love to raise that kind of money,” said Smith, who founded the choir in 1992.

“How do we do it? We don’t have any sponsors, we don’t have companies who support us. “We have the Nanaimo Conservatory, who we are affiliated with, but they don’t have the money to send us either.” However now that they have a year’s notice — the performance will be in June of 2016 — they can run fundraising events and concerts throughout the year to try and raise the money through community support, said Smith. Part of her motivation to take the kids to Carnegie Hall comes from seeing how much they learned from participation in other festivals. In 2012 and in 2014 the choir traveled to Eugene,

NATIONAL NEWS The Canadian Press ◆ EDMONTON
Cop shooter investigated for anti-Semitic bullying Edmonton police say a man suspected in the shooting death of one of their officers was being investigated for a hate crime that was anti-Semitic in nature. Norman Raddatz, 42, allegedly mounted an online campaign of “extreme” bullying against another man in the city last year. The harassment was specifically anti-Semitic, police spokesman Scott Pattison said Wednesday, and the target and his family became so concerned for their safety that they filed a complaint a few months ago. Pattison wouldn’t provide more details about the alleged harassment but police previously said evidence in the case dated back to February 2014. Eight officers went to Raddatz’s home Monday night to serve him with documents ordering him to appear in court on a charge of criminal harassment.
◆ OTTAWA
Pope apology sought for residential school legacy The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations wants the prime minister to urge Pope Francis to apologize for his church’s role in Canada’s residential school legacy. Perry Bellegarde says this is a “prime opportunity” for the prime minister to raise the issue. Stephen Harper is to meet the Pope in the Vatican on Thursday. The meeting comes exactly seven years after the prime minister issued his own apology in the House of Commons to school survivors. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was tasked with interviewing thousands of residential school students and documenting their experiences, issued its key findings and 94 recommendations last week. They included a call for a papal apology on Canadian soil. Bellegarde said that would help bring closure.
◆ OTTAWA
Tories will ban veils at citizenship ceremonies The Harper government is planing to bring in legislation to ban face coverings at citizenship ceremonies. Tim Uppal, the minister of state for multiculturalism, says the government supports Quebec legislation that would require people to have their faces uncovered when giving or receiving government services. The Alberta MP says Canadians expect that people who are taking the oath at citizenship ceremonies should do so without covering their faces. Earlier this year, the Federal Court ruled against a government policy requiring people to remove face coverings when taking the citizenship oath. At the time, Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised an appeal. Harper has called the facial coverings worn by some Muslim women the product of a culture that is “anti-women.”

Senate investigation cost sits at $23.6M
Database will assist choosing a nursing home
Auditor general says price tag about average for such task JORDAN PRESS THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Auditor general Michael Ferguson says the $23.6-million price tag for his critical audit of Senate spending is not out of the ordinary for his office. Nor did it cost his office extra cash to conduct the sweeping two-year probe, which he says was paid for within the confines of his budget. In an interview with The Canadian Press, Ferguson provides a breakdown of the costs for the audit released Tuesday. He says the $23.6 million includes costs that would have been incurred regardless of what the auditors were working on, such salaries, utilities and office space. He says those expenses, known as “allocated costs,” account for about half the $23.6-million total. That means the direct cost of the audit was between $11 million and $12 million. “That really represents the opportunity costs,” Ferguson said. “Those are the auditors that could have been doing something different.” Those direct costs aren’t out of the ordinary for a large audit conducted by his office, he added. On average, Ferguson said, auditors spent about 1,000 hours on each senator under review because some cases were more complicated than auditors expected. He also said his office underestimated how much time each file would take, but “we ended up

having to do all of the audit within our regular office budget.” Ferguson has come under criticism for the cost of the audit, given that his work identified just $991,917 worth of wrongful claims out of 80,000 transactions over the two-year span of the audit. Earlier reports from The Canadian Press had the questionable spending pegged at nearly $977,000, based on having seen portions of the report before it was released to the public on Tuesday. Ferguson said that direct comparison — spending $23.6 million

to find less than $1 million in bad claims — shouldn’t be the only measure Canadians use to judge the value of the Senate audit. Ferguson pointed to a recent audit his office did on access to mental health services for veterans that didn’t identify any savings and would likely cost government coffers to deal with the issues identified. “In this audit, because people can look at what it costs and they can look at these itemizations, there’s this natural sort of tendency to compare the million dollars to the ($23.6 million),” Ferguson said.

A searchable database that provides information on hospitals across the country has been expanded to include comparative data on about 1,000 nursing homes. The database is run by the Canadian Institute for Health Information and is located at http:// www.yourhealthsystem.cihi.ca. It currently contains data on about 57 per cent of the longterm care homes in Canada, says Brent Diverty, CIHI’s vice president for programs. These are facilities with roundthe-clock nursing care. The database does not include information on assisted living homes. The database is set up to allow users to compare various longterm care homes based on these measures — so if one is doing a better job of pain management than others, it should be apparent. Likewise, it would be apparent if a home physically restrains patients daily more often than others. Diverty says all facilities in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and the Yukon are in the database. Some facilities in Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador and Saskatchewan are covered, as are a handful from Nova Scotia.

Real killer in Milgaard case dies behind bars Larry Fisher committed murder in wrongful conviction case THE CANADIAN PRESS
ABBOTSFORD — The man responsible for a 1969 murder in Saskatchewan that put an innocent man, David Milgaard, behind bars for more than two decades has died in prison. Larry Fisher died on Tuesday while serving a life sentence for rape and murder at the Pacific Institution in Abbotsford said Correctional Service Canada. He was 65. “It’s not an unexpected death,” said Samantha Cater, a prison spokeswoman. “There’s nothing suggesting any foul play.” Milgaard was a teenager when he was wrongfully convicted of killing Saskatoon nursing aide Gail Miller and he spent 23 years in prison trying to prove his innocence. He was travelling with friends through the Saskatchewan city at the time of the killing. The Supreme Court of Canada eventually quashed Milgaard’s conviction in 1992, with the emergence of new DNA evidence linking Fisher with the murder. Fisher was convicted of the crime eight years later and sentenced to life. When contacted, Milgaard’s sister, Susan Milgaard, said the family had discussed the matter and decided not to comment. Milgaard’s lawyer Hersh Wolch said in an interview that he had cross-examined Fisher on two occasions. “My impression was that he was pure evil,” said Wolch. “I mean, the horrific things he did to people, and topping that off with letting David languish in jail for all those years put him on

Crown pursues last of Stanley Cup riot cases
Man suffers fatal heart attack on Grouse Grind
The Criminal Justice Branch says prosecutors are getting close to wrapping up cases against hundreds of people charged after Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot four years ago. Police have so far forwarded 366 reports to prosecutors, resulting in 887 criminal charges. Crown spokesman Gordon Comer said 285 of the 300 people charged pleaded guilty, seven were convicted, and one was acquitted. Charges were not approved against 66 others. He said charges were stayed against four others, a decision against two people will be announced in September and that a warrant remains outstanding against a woman who returned to Australia. The riot broke out on June 15, 2011 after the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins.
A 55-year-old man has died while climbing the Grouse Grind in North Vancouver and the hiking trail has closed while the coroners service investigates. RCMP Cpl. Richard De Jong says the unidentified man had completed about three-quarters of the 2.9-kilometre hike on Grouse Mountain when he suffered a heart attack. He says the death happened at about 10:30 a.m. Neither De Jong nor coroner Robert Fisher knew if the man was accompanied or climbing on his own. The challenging hike, dubbed Mother Nature’s stairmaster, opened for the season in early May.

the upper level of evil people. “One doesn’t like to speak ill of the dead, (but) it’s certainly impossible to speak good.” Wolch said the Milgaard case became a symbol for what can go wrong when police have “tunnel vision” and showed that a conviction doesn’t necessarily mean someone is guilty. Defence lawyer Gary Botting who wrote a book about wrongful convictions in Canada said police leaped to the wrong conclusions in the case. “It’s all about coincidence and serendipity,” he said. He said Fisher had the opportunity but chose not to come forward and exonerate Milgaard. “That’s almost the saddest commentary of all, that he would allow an innocent man to
spend 23 years in (prison),” said Botting. An inquest launched by the Saskatchewan government in the wake of the case led to a multimillion-dollar compensation package for Milgaard, as well as a raft of reforms to prosecution and policing in Canada. “It was huge,” said Botting. “People just didn’t believe that kind of injustice could be done.” Changes included a new code of ethics for Crown lawyers and police forces, and evidence from jailhouse “snitches” would no longer be considered reliable. “It’s just shocking to think that Canada would have allowed this to happen,” said Botting. “You’re taken out of circulation for 23 years. It’s going to affect you forever, for the rest of your life.”
Mountie on trial faces charge for cruiser crash An RCMP officer already on trial for allegedly assaulting a bar patron has made a court appearance on an unrelated charge of running a red light and hitting a vehicle in Kelowna. Court has heard Const. Grant Jacobson, 32, was not on an urgent call when he was driving his cruiser to the West Kelowna detachment in October 2013. A father and son riding in a car that was struck at an intersection had minor injuries. The case is expected to continue at a later date as Jacobson prepares to return to court on July 7 for the third day of his assault trial. Court heard two weeks ago that John McCormick, a 61-year-old regular at a pub, was unco-operative at closing time last June. Jacobson was one of three Mounties encouraging people to leave.

B.C. man charged with sex assaults on girls
A British Columbia man is facing 24 charges of sexually assaulting five young girls in the Yukon, where he once lived. Lyle Gilmore, 55, was arrested in Watson Lake on May 15 and is scheduled to make a court appearance next week. RCMP said in a news released issued Wednesday that the complainants are between the ages of eight and 11. The offences are alleged to have occurred between January 2013 and January 2015. Gilmore lived in Watson Lake a few years ago, but now lives at a camp near Pink Mountain police said. He travels back and forth frequently between southern Yukon and northern B.C., said Sgt. Cam Lockwood. He is charged with eight counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation as well as breaching a conditional sentence order issued in B.C.

CBC says Solomon failed ethical standards CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI THE CANADIAN PRESS
The CBC has abruptly “ended its relationship” with high-profile news host Evan Solomon, saying it determined he had acted in ways that were ‘inconsistent’ with its code of ethics. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
CTV, Global, NBC and ABC.” Nearly all of the major networks have weathered a media scandal of some sort in recent months. Bell Media parted ways with its president Kevin Crull after he
admitted to trying to influence how subsidiary CTV covered a news story. Global News anchor Leslie Roberts resigned after reports he co-owned a public relations company, and that some of the firm’s
Solomon has said he never intentionally used his CBC position to secure deals and that he was “deeply sorry” for any damage his activities had caused. McGuire offered few specifics about Solomon’s dismissal but said the decision to cut ties was made shortly before the Star piece was published. She said Solomon disclosed in April that he and his wife owned a production company that had a business partnership with an art dealer. “He assured us, this could not conflict in any way with his work for CBC News,” she said. The Solomon scandal follows a report that chastised CBC bosses for how they handled sexual assault allegations involving former radio host Jian Ghomeshi. Solomon’s exit from the CBC also comes a few months after conflict-of-interest allegations were directed against fellow network personality Amanda Lang, who was ultimately cleared by a CBC review.

Police thwart attack by suicide bomber
Catholic tribunal to try bishops in sex scandals
Erdogan to consider all coalition options
Militants tried to attack the ancient temple of Karnak in southern Egypt on Wednesday, with a suicide bomber blowing himself up and two gunmen battling police. No sightseers were hurt in the thwarted assault, but it suggested that Islamic extremists are shifting targets from security forces to the country’s vital tourism industry. The violence left the bomber and one gunman dead, the other wounded and arrested, and four other people wounded. The temple was not damaged. The attackers carried guns in backpacks, and one wore a belt of explosives. They rode in a taxi through a police checkpoint to a parking lot and sat at a cafe and ordered lemonades, witnesses told The Associated Press.
Pope Francis took the biggest step yet to crack down on bishops who cover up for priests who rape and molest children, creating a new tribunal inside the Vatican to hear cases of bishops accused of failing to protect their flock. The initiative, announced Wednesday, has significant legal and theological implications, since bishops have long been considered masters of their dioceses and largely unaccountable when they bungle their job, with the Vatican stepping in only in cases of gross negligence. The Vatican said Francis had approved proposals made by his sexual abuse advisory board, which includes survivors of abuse as well as experts in child protection policies.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “is open to” all possible coalition options for a new government, including a partnership which would exclude the ruling party that he founded, a senior opposition legislator said Wednesday. Deniz Baykal, a former leader of the main opposition Republican People’s Party, also told reporters after a meeting with Erdogan that the president hoped for a quick end to the political uncertainty. As the oldest elected legislator, Baykal is expected to head the new parliament until a new speaker is chosen. The ruling Justice and Development Party got around 41 per cent of the votes in Sunday’s election, but lost its parliamentary majority.

TORONTO — A raft of ethical lapses by journalists has the editor-in-chief of CBC News calling on members of the profession to clean up their act. Jennifer McGuire bemoaned the state of the industry in a message to staff Wednesday, a day after the public broadcaster fired CBC News Network personality Evan Solomon over conflict-of-interest allegations. While detailing the circumstances of Solomon’s ouster, McGuire cited a recent LinkedIn article by Al Jazeera America journalist Ali Velshi which chastised TV news for “shooting itself in the foot.” “It’s time for every single professional journalist and media organization to stop providing ammunition,” McGuire said in the memo. Some people have questioned the integrity of CBC’s news, McGuire continued, “and that of
clients appeared on his morning show. Over on the U.S. networks, NBC news anchor Brian Williams was suspended after exaggerating about his experiences as a reporter, and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos admitted to donating substantial sums to the Clinton Foundation, casting doubt on his ability to offer impartial coverage of Hillary Clinton’s presidential race. In firing Solomon, McGuire said the Power & Politics host failed to meet the “very highest standard of journalistic conduct and ethics.” “A decision like this is never pleasant,” she said of parting ways with the prominent personality, previously considered a possible successor to Peter Mansbridge on The National. The firing came in the wake of a Toronto Star report that alleged the 47-year-old broadcaster secretly brokered lucrative art sales to wealthy contacts he also approached for interviews.

If you are attached, you are likely to spend even more time with your sweetie.

No need to overreact over husband’s ex-girlfriend Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I am confused about how to handle my husband’s ex-girlfriend, who shows up at his family funerals and stays three hours at the visitation hanging with my husband and reminiscing about the past. They discuss things out loud with no respect for me. This woman is married, but never comes to these gatherings with her husband. And my husband still does her taxes, even though I told him he shouldn’t. He’s opening the door to trouble. I do trust my husband, but not her. She definitely is still attracted to him, and it shows. Is her behaviour normal, or should I tell her at the next funeral to pay her respects and leave? — Not Jealous, Just Hurt Dear Not: Please don’t let your insecurities cause you to overreact.

Lawmakers voted to repeal a disputed meat-labelling law that has prompted threats of tariffs from Canada against a range of U.S. products including wine, chocolate and frozen orange juice.

God planned it!” I love your column. — Bossier City, La. Dear Bossier City: Your response was by far the most popular one we received. We appreciate all who sent in their personal preferences.

Was it?” I have used this more times than I can say, and it always works. • Mother of Twins: I would simply ask, “Were you?” • Tyler, Texas: Someone could reply, “It was more planned than the question you just asked!” • Salisbury, Penn.: I’ve found this response works: “Why in the world would you ask such a personal question? It’s rude, and you’re normally not a rude person. Are you feeling OK?” Whenever you end with a question, the other person feels compelled to answer. So throw it back in their court, and watch ‘em squirm. They deserve a little squirming.

‘Madame Bovary’ misses the mark This version only hits the tragic highlights and connects her, firmly, with the Culture of Acquisition Madame Bovary STARRING: Mia Wasikowska, Rhys Ifans, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Laura Carmichael, Logan Marshall-Green, Paul Giamatti Director: Sophie Barthes RATING: Restricted RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes ROGER MOORE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

andsomely mounted, period-perfect and starring the empathetic Mia Wasikowska in the title role, the new Madame Bovary narrows the scope and finds a different focus within Gustave Flaubert’s novel. But stripping away complexity doesn’t just undo decades of politically correct efforts to add justifications for the actions of the bored, repressed 1840s French housewife. Director Sophie Barthes (Cold Souls) dares to see her acquisitive, shallow heroine as a villain. That should raise some eyebrows. We meet Emma during her convent training (poise, posture), followed by her wedding day. Her father is happy to marry her off to a handsome and reasonably well-off doctor (Henry Lloyd-Hughes). But dad lets slip something of Emma’s nature in a toast that mentions “all these ideas in your head.” Emma has just enough knowledge of the world to feel that the provincial life they settle down to in tiny Yonville is depressing. The forests, farms and cottages may enchant us today. She sees them as her trap. Dinner chat limited to “Any patients of interest today?” consultations with a priest — her only sounding board, who

doesn’t see or hear her desperation — that’s her future. But Emma has a rescuer. The pushy shop owner Monsieur Lheureux, played with a greedy purr by Rhys Ifans, labels her “an elegant woman of taste” and proceeds to show her the fine dresses, curtains and furnishings a lady of her refinement must covet. Put it all on her account. She isn’t flighty enough to fall for the romantic but callow law clerk Leon (Ezra Miller, more at home in a boy band than a period piece).
But Emma is still doomed. And not just because of the attentions of the dashing Marquis (Logan Marshall-Green). Her desperate desire for a richer life will impact her marriage, her husband’s practice and others as the house fills with the finer things and her neediness leads to affairs. Barthes, who co-wrote the script, emphasizes Emma’s isolation (no peers or girlfriends) and her gullibility. She leaves out the passion for romantic novels that fed Emma’s fantasies and taught her there
was a wider world out there. But the film also omits some of her affairs and the daughter she had with Charles, which made her social striving seem even more selfish on the page. Paul Giamatti plays the pharmacist Homais, charming, pushy, but stripped of his ulterior motives. Still, Wasikowska nicely gets across Emma’s boredom and dullness. This is a character who can’t quite articulate her ennui, who sees things as Monsieur Lheureux tells her to, “possess what you love.”
Perhaps it’s the Real Housewives era that conjures up thoughts of the original “realist,” Flaubert, and his greatest novel, as we’ve already been treated this summer to the tarted-up dark comedy Gemma Bovery, inspired by his book. This latest Bovary, sumptuous as it is, only hits the tragic highlights and connects her, firmly, with the Culture of Acquisition. It still plays, but doesn’t really move us. So purists have every right to look down their noses at it.
REVIEW
This is a sweet take on the teen weeper genre Me and Earl and the Dying Girl STARRING: Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke, RJ Cyler, Moolly Shannon, Connie Britton, Nick Offerman Director: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, RATING: PG-13 RUNNING TIME: 105 minutes TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
T
ouching and wise, cute and occasionally cloying, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl taps into both real teen angst and behaviour, and our fantasies of what we hope teens are thinking, feeling and doing. It’s about a couple of high school movie makers and the “dying girl” one of them is forced to befriend. From that set up, the film leans heavily on high school comedies of the past. It then proceeds to go out of its way to trip up our expectations about cliques, jocks, geeks and the prettiest girl in school. Awkward Greg (Thomas Mann) is our narrator, a camera geek who lives outside the cliques with his “colleague,” Earl (RJ

Cyler). They kill lunch hours watching classic cinema (Fitzcarraldo, Burden of Dreams) on YouTube in the office of the “cool” teacher. After school, they make parodies of those films — using stop-motion animation and costumes of their own creation that they wear in playing the stars of My Dinner With Andre the Giant or A Sockwork Orange. Then Greg’s mom (Connie Britton) gives him bad news. His classmate, Rachel, just learned
she’s dying of cancer. Greg, to his credit, reacts the way we’d expect a teen to react. Bummer. Too bad for her. But Mom wants more. Go talk to this girl. “Do one nice thing for another person.” What’s worse, Rachel doesn’t “need your stupid pity.” But Greg has just a little charm, and thanks to his parents (Nick Offerman is his sweetly eccentric college prof dad), empathy he didn’t know he’d developed. With
disarming tactlessness, he insists on sticking around, and the story begins with the title “Day 1 of Doomed Friendship.” Olivia Cooke, a winsome veteran of the other genre of “dead teenager” movies — horror (The Quiet Ones, Ouija) — gives Rachel a vulnerable beauty. She lets us see the terror at what is coming behind whatever brave front Rachel puts up. Mann (Project X) manages the sensitive insensitivity Greg has to project. He’s scared, too. He needs pep talks from that cool teacher (Jon Bernthal), and from a Wolverine poster in Rachel’s room. Wolverine (the real voice of Hugh Jackman) chews Greg out for botching the empathy thing. Make a dying girl feel worse with your jokes? “Not on my watch, pal.” That’s one of many cute and funny touches that director and Glee! veteran Alfonso Gomez-Rejon slips into what should be the saddest movie since The Fault in Our Stars. The films within the film are hilariously awful. And the assorted high school “types” amusing as ever. But it’s where
Me and Earl departs from the old John Hughes Breakfast Club formula that distinguishes it. The adults — Molly Shannon is Rachel’s weeping, crawl-in-a-bottle divorced mom — are sympathetic and they remember what it was like to be teens. The “hot girl” isn’t a “mean girl.” Earl has poor black kid street smarts and oversexed teen dialogue. But Cyler makes Earl soulful, deep and smart, something the whole school seems to already know as Greg, and we the audience, find out. Cooke and Mann carry the film, her making great use of Rachel’s cancer-makes-you-wise perspective, Mann playing up the slow and steep learning curve Greg endures. “I have stage four cancer” ends any argument, and the accusation, “You’re only hanging out with her because she has cancer” makes him try a little his soul searching. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl isn’t deep. But this sure-to-be-acrowd-pleasing laugher/weeper reminds us that there’s nothing wrong with a romantic comedy that reaches for inspiring and cathartic between the laughs.

STANLEY CUP FINAL
Rogers says twin brother can follow in his footsteps ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
This time last year, former Nanaimo Pirate Alex Rogers was signed by the Victoria HarbourCats to a 10-day contract. Fast forward a year and the right-handed pitcher now leads the team, with his twin brother Brady in his old position. But Alex believes Brady’s got what it takes to earn a regular deal. “He’s proven himself already and I think they’ll offer him a chance to stick around,” Alex said of Brady. “The 10-day con-
tract worked out for me because I had nothing to lose and just played my game. The good thing is if they keep you around, you can only go up from there.” The HarbourCats began their regular season last weekend and both former Pirates have had roles in the two-win two-loss start. Shortstop Brady made an impressive catch late in the game on Wednesday in a 7-2 win over the Kitsap Blue Jackets. Alex started the opening day win over the Kelowna Falcons last Friday, allowing just three hits
and striking out seven. The pitcher will head to NCAA Division 1 North Dakota State this fall once the HarbourCats’ season is over, to study business. “I want to make an impact and be the ‘go-to guy’ from day one.” The Nanaimo twins will return home this July, as the HarbourCats face the Pirates, coached by father Doug, in an exhibition game on July 19 at Serauxmen Stadium.

CHICAGO — Talk of a must-win game was hyperbole. The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t face elimination but knew they couldn’t lose twice at home and feel good about themselves in the Stanley Cup final. So they showed why they’re two-time champions by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game 4 Wednesday night at United Center to even the best-of-seven series at two. Game 5 is Saturday back at Amalie Arena. Brandon Saad scored the game-winner in the third period as the Blackhawks finally got to surprise Lightning starting goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. Captain Jonathan Toews scored earlier in the night on the rookie, who replaced the injured

Ben Bishop. Vasilevskiy made 17 saves in his first-career Stanley Cup playoff start. At the other end Corey Crawford stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced, including many in the final minutes as the Lightning tried desperately to get the tying goal. Alex Killorn scored Tampa Bay’s only goal. With a more subdued atmosphere at United Center, the Blackhawks struggled to get much going in the first few minutes. It took more than eight minutes for their first shot on Vasilevskiy, and they only got two during the first period. Chicago tested Vasilevskiy in the second and beat him on its fifth shot of the night. After Marian Hossa’s shot hit Vasilevskiy, Patrick Sharp tapped the puck to the other side of the net where a crashing Toews scored 6:40 into
the period. The Blackhawks have had such problems holding leads, and Game 4 was no different. But this time they led a whole five-plus minutes before giving up the tying goal. That came with Trevor van Riemsdyk gassed and Crawford looking the wrong direction. Valtteri Filppula made a perfect pass from behind the net to Killorn at the side of the net, and he tapped it in easy at 11:47 to make it 1-1. Vasilevskiy stopped Sharp and Patrick Kane on high-quality scoring chances later in the period to keep it tied. The Blackhawks cracked the 20-year-old goaltender again 6:22 into the third period. Vasilevskiy blockered the puck away from Saad, but the forward recovered it and sent a backhander in to give Chicago the lead.
Howe given ‘little boost’ from treatment SHERYL UBELACKER THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Gordie Howe’s son Mark says his father is doing well after receiving a second experimental stem cell transplant this week. The 87-year-old hockey legend was treated Monday at the same Mexican clinic where he underwent an initial injection of stem cells in his spine in December, following a debilitating stroke last October.
Mark says his brother Murray, who’s a doctor, took Howe to the Tijuana clinic, where their dad got “a little boost” from the therapy. Mark says they are flying today to Toledo, Ohio, where Howe will stay with Murray and his wife after having lived with his daughter Cathy Purnell in Lubbock,Texas. After the first treatment, the family called Howe’s improvement “miraculous.” He was able to walk
again and his ability to speak improved. The October stroke — his second — had left the former NHL great without the use of his right arm and leg and had caused his speech to slur. Howe also had difficulty swallowing and shed 35 pounds. He had been admitted to hospital and was unresponsive when the family decided to pursue the unproven stem cell therapy, not approved in Canada or the U.S.

Blue Jays secure 7-2 win over Marlins DHIREN MAHIBAN THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The Blue Jays twice hit back-toback home runs and rookie starter Scott Copeland took care of the rest as Toronto extended its win streak to a season-high eight games with a 7-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday afternoon. Justin Smoak and Russell Martin hit back-toback homers in the fourth while Jose Reyes and Josh Donaldson went deep in the seventh as the Blue Jays swept their second consecutive series. Toronto (31-30) is now a game above .500 for the first time since May 9. Copeland (1-0), who was making a spot start in place of Aaron Sanchez, went seven innings, allowing one earned run on six hits while striking out seven. Wednesday was the right-hander’s first career major league start. Marlins starter Tom Koehler (4-4) allowed six earned runs on eight hits while striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings of work. The Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead in the second. Edwin Encarnacion led off the inning with an infield single. Smoak followed it up with a ground rule double. Then Encarnacion scored on a Martin base hit thanks to a throwing error from Marlins’ third baseman Martin Prado. Two batters later Smoak scored on a sacrifice fly from Kevin Pillar. Toronto added to its in the fourth. Encarnacion got things started with a lead off double off the wall in right. Smoak then took Koehler deep to right field off of the suites in the third deck for his fourth home run of the season. Martin followed up with a solo shot, his ninth of the season, giving the Blue Jays a 5-0 lead. Miami got on the board in the fifth when Ichiro Suzuki tripled to centre, scoring Jeff Mathis. Reyes took Koehler out of park in the seventh for his second home run of the season and Donaldson followed up with his 17th of the season.

outh ruffed the spade continuation to play a low trump, winning the queen in dummy, on which East showed out. A trump to the ace was followed by three top hearts discarding three clubs from the table. Since the jack of hearts had dropped, the play of the ten of hearts left West without an answer. West and dummy parted with a club but declarer led a third trump. West won the king to return a spade which was ruffed in dummy and the last trump was extracted, N-S +400. East had rocketed into the major suit game in response to partner’s overcall despite the adverse vulnerability. South passed four spades because partner’s negative double did not promise more than 6 HCP although he could be assured of a diamond fit. North backed in with 4NT revealing at least 5-5 in clubs and diamonds, an action that forced South to take a minor suit preference. Four spades would suffer a onetrick set when North begins with the king of clubs. If he mistakenly attempts to cash a second club, West will still be unable to bring home ten tricks. West must draw a round of trump to enjoy the club winner and North can play a second spade later holding West to eight trumps and a club trick.

Hazel will be lovingly remembered by her husband Clarence Married for 59 years. Their four children Allan(Brenda) Dianna(Jim) Gordon (Silvia) Tim(Tammie) She will also be greatly missed by 12 Grandchildren and 11 Great Grandchildren. She leaves behind her only surviving sister Shirley and husband Ted. DONNA M. CLARK November 21, 1933 - May 26, 2015 After a long struggle with Alzheimer's Donna is now free from her prison and is likely running through wheat fields, skating like the wind or sailing on the salty waters of the Pacific. Donna was born to parents Mary and Lindsay Clark in Hart, Sask. and predeceased by brothers Leonard, Leslie and Jerry. She is survived by her partner of 37 yrs. Barb Ross, her sister Shirley Wenaas (Gene), sister Elizabeth Elsom, brother Lindsay (Lorraine) from Sask. and brother David from Australia, plus many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Donna was a very accomplished athlete competing and excelling in many team sports. She is inducted into three Halls of Fame, Saskatchewan for hockey, Alberta for softball and BC for curling. She will be dearly missed, but always remembered for her caring, gentle nature and a laugh that made everybody laugh. She lived her life as she wanted, cherishing yesterday, dreaming of tomorrow and loving and laughing every day. She is now at peace joining many friends and family that have gone before her. I am sincerely grateful to all the wonderful staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village who cared for her over the last two years. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Late Bobby Wood goal seals U.S. win over world champions Germany Bobby Wood scored a late goal for the second time in six days to give the United States its first victory at a European soccer power, lifting the Americans to a 2-1 win at World Cup champion Germany in an exhibition game Wednesday. The 22-year-old from Hawaii entered in the 74th minute and scored in the 87th, swiveling and taking a touch before a 23-yard shot that went on a hop past goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler. Wood scored in the 90th minute Friday to give Americans a 4-3 win over the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The U.S. had lost its previous two games in Germany, 4-2 in 2002 and 4-1 in 2006. Mario Goetze put the hosts ahead in the 12th minute, but Mix Diskerud tied the score in the 41st after trapping a long ball from Michael Bradley. -THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO — Former Brazil star Zico wants to run for the presidency of FIFA, even though he believes the odds are stacked against him being elected. The 62-year-old former playmaker said Wednesday that “there’s a possibility now for change.� FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced his resignation last week, amid separate investigations by the U.S. and Swiss authorities into alleged bribery and corruption involving the 2010, 2018 and 2022 World Cups. “I would like to confirm this decision about the possibility of being a candidate in the next FIFA election,� Zico told a news conference in his native Rio de Janeiro. “I feel capable of this.� But he added: “Of course, changes in the rules of the game would be necessary. Mainly because, with the rules in place now there isn’t the slightest possibility (of being elected).�

FIFA said earlier Wednesday its executive committee would meet next month to choose an election date. All 209 FIFA member federations will vote for a new president, with the current favourite being Michel Platini, the head of Europe’s governing body UEFA. Potential candidates need the support of five national football associations in order to stand for election. Zico criticized the long tenure of Blatter and his predecessor Brazilian Joao Havelange. “I am 62 years old and I only remember two presidents of FIFA, Joao Havelange and Blatter,� he said. “Only these two people in the world to rule over football? This is unacceptable.� A hugely gifted midfielder, Zico played in three World Cups — 1978, 1982 and 1986 — but never won the trophy. He played at clubs in Brazil, Italy and Japan before going on to a coaching career in Turkey, Greece, Russia, Uzbekistan, the Middle East,
India and Japan’s national team. Zico suggested that Marco Polo Del Nero, the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, must have known about the alleged corruption linked to the arrest in Switzerland of his predecessor Jose Maria Marin. Marin was one of seven top soccer officials arrested two weeks ago in connection with the growing bribery and corruption scandal surrounding FIFA. Zico said the two had spent all “this time (together) at the CBF.� “So I think this friendship did not end at the moment Marin was arrested in Switzerland.� Del Nero told a Brazilian congressional committee on Tuesday he would not resign. He refused and said he had not been charged with any crimes. Del Nero and former CBF president Ricardo Teixeira are believed to be at the centre of an on-going investigation by U.S. authorities and others probing illegal kickbacks, bribes and money-laundering.
