Nanaimo rallies behind local Asian community
Firearm and drug charges result in long prison term SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo Asian Professional Association members Hadon Fu, left, and Cindy Qin.
“I’m not certain what this task force will look like, but I want to actively pursue it, in addition to action to catch these hooligans,” McKay said. “We appreciate that,” said Fu. “It shows immigrants are welcome in Nanaimo.” Petitions are available at the Nanaimo Multicultural Society office, the Da Tang Restaurant, Port Place Hair Spa, Dorchester Hotel, Wakesiah Esso and Sushi Eh Restaurant, through Friday. Fu hopes people remember the role immigrants played in building Nanaimo “We live here. We’re not going anywhere. We have a history here. We have a right to come here,” Fu said.
A guilty plea on drug possession and firearm charges in Nanaimo has led to a prison sentence of just over four years for a 32-year-old Nanaimo man. Matthew Kenneth Douglas Gibson received the sentence following a joint submission in provincial court Wednesday from Crown prosecutor Jim Whiting and defence lawyer Danny Markovitz. Judge Justine Saunders sentenced Gibson on three counts, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition and one count of possession of a firearm contrary to an order. The total sentence is 1,496 days. The charges stem from a police investigation into Gibson that began in September 2012, Whiting told the court. Police arrested Gibson on Jan. 10, 2013, seizing a substantial haul of cash and illegal drugs from Gibson’s car and residence. Police found two bundles of cash valued at $2,400 in the console of Gibson’s Honda Accord. Gibson was carrying $647.07 on him. After searching his Nanaimo apartment, the RCMP then seized a number of electronic scales, 1.2 kilograms of cocaine with a street value of about $50,000 and smaller quantities of heroin and methamphetamine valued at $16,500 and $6,000 respectively. Police also found a loaded handgun with seven rounds and just over $18,000 in cash hidden throughout the apartment. Whiting said Gibson has only one prior drug conviction for possession, but said Gibson has 15 previous other convictions, including four assaults and two weapons-related charges. Markovitz said Gibson’s record “speaks for itself” and said his client is “taking responsibility for his actions.” Gibson also told Saunders that he was ready to take responsibility for his crimes. The judge described Gibson’s record as “unenviable” and urged him to get out of the drug world.

‘Everyone has the right to live in Nanaimo’ “We’re sending out a message: Everyone is welcome, everyone has the right to live in Nanaimo.”
DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
N
anaimo is rallying to support Chinese nationals against what appears to be a small but vocal anti-immigration movement in the city. In less than two days, more than 250 people signed a petition to show support for immigrants blamed for rising property values and “international real estate speculation.” The Nanaimo Asian Professional Association, formed last year, is behind the petition. Signatures will be collected all week, then organizers plan to send copies to city council, local MLAs and the Chinese embassy to show that most Nanaimo residents welcome newcomers from all countries.
Hadon Fu, NAPA director
“The first thing is awareness,” said Hadon Fu, one of six directors on the board of NAPA. “We’re sending out a message: Everyone is welcome, everyone has the right to live in Nanaimo.” Some north end residents reported receiving flyers early in June warning of the end of affordable housing, “proliferation of non-official languages” and destruction of Nanaimo’s character as the city experiences a “property nightmare” from immigration, similar to Richmond.

Photographs were included as ‘proof:’ Bus bench real estate advertisements for Asian agents. Hilde Schlosar, executive director of the Central Vancouver Multicultural Society called the flyers “garbage” and asked Nanaimo RCMP to investigate. NAPA member Cindy Qin said her husband heard of the controversy on the news in China. “My husband said: ‘What has happened here? Are my children safe?’” Qin said. By Wednesday, RCMP was looking into reports of vandalism to the bus bench ads and “we have no idea at this point” who is behind it, said Const. Gary O’Brien. He said there is no known connection between the producers of the flyer and the vandalism. McKay wants to form a task force of community leaders to plan a response.

DNBIA seeks city cash for studies Economic activity in Terminal Avenue corridor sparse, as meeting environmental standards costly SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
The City of Nanaimo is being asked to contribute almost $200,000 for environmental study and design work on the downtown Terminal Avenue corridor. The Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association wants the city to contribute $63,291 as a property owner in the area towards a drinking water exemption study for the area, which includes the portion
of Terminal Avenue/Milton Street to the Pearson Bridge. The Terminal corridor was formerly a tidal marsh area that was gradually filled in with waste material from mining and other industrial waste and later developed. Economic activity in the area has been sparse, in part due to the high cost of meeting environmental standards during redevelopment. The DNBIA also wants the city to contribute $50,000 toward
the first phase of design work for proposed improvements as part of the Terminal/Nicole Streetscape Project this year and consider a further $80,000 contribution next year. A staff recommendation before council Monday would see the city strike up the terms of reference for a steering committee to assist in the process. The drinking water exemption study would be part of an application to the Ministry of
Environment to get a drinking water exemption for the area. That exemption would remove stringent requirements on future property developers to remove or reduce contaminants in the area. The DNBIA also completed an environmental brownfield study of the area, which resulted in the province loosening up contaminant testing requirements. John Cooper, president of the DNBIA, said getting a further reduction in environmental
requirements in the area would be good news. “This whole project is centred around trying to reduce the barriers to development in the Terminal corridor,” he said. “The idea is to preemptively start to get a vision for that very visible corridor,” Cooper said of the Streetscape project.

Nanaimo student receives $150,000 scholarship to attend military college
Town marina earns honour
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Nicholas Bell’s dream of becoming an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy is one big step closer to reality. Nicholas, a graduating Grade 12 student at John Barsby Secondary School, is one of 200 students from across Canada to receive a $150,000 scholarship this year to attend the Royal Canadian Military College in Kingston, Ont. The funding will pay his full tuition at the college for his fouryear bachelor of arts program, with majors in military leadership and psychology, as well as his room and board and $500 each month in spending money. While the scholarship for Nicholas was sponsored by the Canadian Armed Forces, 373 other students in local secondary schools received almost $500,000 in scholarships and bursaries from local community partners and the Ministry of Education at the District Honours Night on Tuesday, hosted by the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation. “I applied for the scholarship in August and had pretty much given up hope of being selected until I got a phone call from the recruitment centre in Victoria on the last day of April,” Bell said at his school Wednesday. “I also received a $500 scholarship Wednesday from the Barsby

that survived treatment. “This is what we’ve seen in other communities,” Lawrance said. “You’re looking at a five-year commitment.” Under the new regional program, knotweed will be treated on high-priority sites at no cost to landowners. “It will take a combined effort and collaboration to rid our region of destructive plants like knotweed,” said Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek.

The Ladysmith Maritime Society has been recognized as one of the province’s “most environmental” marinas. The society will receive its Clean Marine B.C. flag and certificate from the Georgia Strait Alliance at a Dine on the Dock event on June 19. The CMBC initiative recognizes industry leading marinas, harbour authorities, yacht clubs and boatyards that meet the standards outlined by the GSA. LMS managing director Rod Smith said he was thrilled at the recognition. “We’re a not-for-profit society and much of the work is done by our group of dedicated volunteers and I’m very proud of them,” said Smith, who said the certification shows LMS is on the right path in enhancing the marine experience in Ladysmith. “Our mandate is to preserve and protect the harbour.” Smith said the LMS has and will continue to campaign for solutions to the problem of abandoned boats that pose a contamination, safety and visual threat to the marina. In terms of the CMBC program, LMS applied to have an assessment done and work commenced back in 2012. “We put in the welcome centre, washrooms, showers, new docks and implemented environmental initiatives like places to get rid of used motor oil,” said Smith. The society has also had a role to play in the B.C. Purple Martin Recovery Program — a species recovering from near extension which had five breeding pairs in 1985 to more than 500 these days. LMS staff work to attach nest boxes to dock pilings, keeps an eye on spring arrival of Purple Martins, count adult birds, and band nestlings. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to recognize Ladysmith Maritime Society Marina with Clean Marine BC certification,” said Christianne Wilhelmson, GSA executive director. “Ladysmith Maritime Society has shown a strong commitment to sound environmental practices that protect our cruising waters.”

INVASIVE SPECIES
Communities look to eliminate knotweed DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
It may be pretty but the leafy, green Japanese plant knotweed is targeted for elimination in Nanaimo, Parksville and Qualicum Beach. Those communities are teaming up to control the aggressively invasive plant. Knotweed tops the hit list of invasive species to eradicate, above such plants as Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry. “Some people like blackberries. You’ve got to pick your battles,” said Rob Lawrance, city of Nanaimo environmental planner. “This one has real issues with degrading road beds, trails and building foundations, and it’s highly invasive.” The plant grows in large patches

to a height of about two metres. It looks like bamboo, but its stems are soft and green, not woody and brown. Environmentally, it’s a priority around watercourses, where it causes serious damage. “It’s having a huge impact on the
ecology of the Cowichan River,” said Lawrance. It’s unsafe to get herbicide in water, so patches near water bodies will get top priority. Spraying only knocks knotweed down temporarily, until new stems regenerate from its deep roots. An experimental treatment started last summer is showing promise a year later. Where herbicide is injected into the stems of plants chopped down to about 30 centimetres, the herbicide penetrates the root system, without affecting nearby plants. Along a Beban Park walking trail, a patch of knotweed is almost completely dead, other than a few leaves sprouting on the perimeter. A new patch nearby grows tall, from a few stray roots

Same old politics in new Liberal policy plan
J
ustin Trudeau’s Liberals have been fairly criticized for being short on substance and policy in the run-up to the fall federal election. But Liberal strategists have apparently realized their slow and measured approach has resulted in Tom Mulcair’s NDP surging in public opinion polls, and they have responded by putting their policy platform release machine into high gear. The result of that is yesterday’s substantive release outlining changes the Liberals will make to “restore democracy in Canada.” You can like it or hate it, but you can’t call it flimsy. The Liberals have a 32-point plan that promises “fair and open govern-
ment.” It includes a commitment to change the way we vote, eliminating “first past the post” status quo, which means the candidate with the most votes is elected in her riding regardless of the percentage of cast ballots obtained. That will strike a chord with many disenfranchised voters who blame the status quo for the fact that a party — like the Conservatives, for example — can win a majority of seats in the House of Commons and form a government with a mandate from only 40 per cent of the electorate. Many say first-past-the-post is the primary culprit in declining voter turnout and contributing
to voters feeling as though their vote doesn’t matter. But what are the options? Ranked ballots and proportional representation are most often cited as leading alternatives, but each of those is criticized by some as being equally flawed compared to the status quo. Trudeau would put an all-party Parliamentary committee in place to recommend changes in time for the next election. It’s a bold plan. The Liberals would also appoint an equal number of men and women to cabinet and adopt policies to ensure gender parity in government along with greater representation for minorities and aboriginal people.
They want to limit what political parties can spend between elections as well as during campaigns. They would implement performance standards in public service, streamline application processes and offer money-back guarantees. And they promise to change Access to Information rules to make data “open by default” as opposed to protected and kept secret. Trudeau strategists say this is just the first in a series of policy planks they intend to release in short order. That’s smart. Whether they are winning ideas or not depends on your position, but at least there are
now policies voters can get their hands on and begin to compare them to the NDP and Conservatives, who are both far ahead of the Liberals in terms of concrete positions. Canadians want clear choices. They are getting that from Conservatives, promising pretty much the status quo; from the NDP with its populist plans on child care and senate reform; and now from the Liberals as well. Let the campaign begin. — THE CANADIAN PRESS (HAMILTON SPECTATOR)

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Trustee trips should also be in cost-cutting plans Re: ‘Trustees consider dropping membership’ (Daily News, June 16) Our school board has taken great strides in looking for cost-cutting methods in order to provide the best education for our kids possible. Cutting the number of trustees from nine to seven is but one of many ideas that saves some money indeed. This should be looked upon as an excellent first step forward in their first year guiding our district. We can only hope that their benefits package is also looked at, as it is much more generous than even teachers receive. The concept of withdrawing from the trustees association is an interesting one. The cost of flying trustees across the province and keeping them fed and housed in hotels is not cheap. Is there any value in continuing this expense? After all, this is our local school board, not the Senate. An alternative to withdrawing
could be streaming these conferences in an interactive way so all trustees in the province can participate without having to leave their jurisdictions. And with the capability of recording the workshops and uploading them online, is there a need to fly out to Prince George or Kelowna to attend in person? Unpopular for some former and sitting trustees I know. The holidays must be nice. But a real sacrifice would be to eliminate these expenses, not simply have the top vote getters select to remove the bottom two. That would be true sacrifice. Understandably, when one is in charge of their own salary and benefits, change can be so much difficult to realize.
access to a database detailing who owns firearms?” I would like to point out to you they already do. They have access to the database of all those in Canada who are licensed to own firearms. It is safe to conclude that all those who went to the trouble of getting a licence to own firearms do own them. Those who own firearms and aren’t licensed to own them are called ‘criminals.’ Good luck on getting criminals to license anything, least of all a firearm. Further, I think you will find that police always ‘assume’ the potential of firearms in any situation they find themselves in. It’s called safety first. Ron W. Poulter Nanaimo

Kennedy Street closure part of proposed plan for trail expansion Route travels from Seventh Street in Harewood down to Franklin Street Darragh Worledge Reporting
O
ne of the biggest challenges facing the newest section of the E&N Trail is cost versus safety. The proposed route travels from Seventh Street in Harewood, down to Franklin Street in south Nanaimo. This stretch is one of the most difficult to develop, due to both site challenges and cost requirements. Normally trail corridor widths are 100 feet, however this section narrows to only 50 feet. Plus, frequent steep side slopes require retaining walls to achieve trail access. Grade elevations also are challenging, with possible alternate routing needed to avoid the steepest inclines. By far the biggest hurdle is that the most direct trail route encompasses seven rail crossings. Called grade crossings, these are where roads cross train tracks thus requiring safety signage. These safety alerts appear as a large X sign usually accompanied by red flashing lights. The problem is all seven of these grade crossings are old and outdated. As well, the new trail complicates vehicle site lines and presents potential blockage problems at the intersections. Situations where vehicles are forced to straddle train tracks while waiting for pedestrians must be avoided. Upgrading grade crossings is very, very pricey. Estimates to do all seven are around $10.8 million. So city planners have come up with an

The Friends of Morden Mine Society is working towards setting up a memorial at the site of the old mine south of Nanaimo that would be dedicated to the coal miners who worked in the region’s mines. Eric Ricker, co-president of the society, said the plans for the memorial are in the preliminary stages right now. But the vision is to have a large commemorative stone set on a concrete pad, surrounded by attractive landscaping, inscribed with names local miners from the region’s historic coal-mining days. Ricker said there are thousands of people who worked in the coal mines over the years and it will be a big task finding and compiling all the names. “We know the three miners who died at Morden Mine, but we’re not sure what we want on the plaque at this time,” Ricker said. “The idea is to have a place for the miners’ families to experience some sense of remembrance of the men who worked the mines.” He said it’s expected that the total cost of the memorial will be approximately $10,000. He said the society has about $5,000 that could be put toward the project, and decisions on where the rest of the funding would come from will come later. “We might seek some corporate donations, but we’ll have a better idea on how to proceed as we go through the process,” Ricker said.
alternate route that veers away from the existing track at some intersections to avoid these costly upgrades. Route 2 would see three grade crossing upgrades, at a cost of $6.6 million. This alternate route would also add 110 metres to the length of the trail. The advantage with plan B is the new Rail Trail could be completed much more quickly. However some city engineers feel the outdated train crossing signals should be upgraded regardless, as a safety precaution. Local resident Marc Donovan agrees. “Train whistles aren’t really all that useful in an era when so many people walk around with their ears plugged,” said Donovan. “Most, if not all train crossings in Nanaimo are definitely unsafe and need to be upgraded.” Public consultation sessions are currently underway. Online information, plus a survey are available at nanaimo.ca/ goto/enrailtrail. Local MLA Doug Routley points to the tremendous potential for cycling tourism in Nanaimo on completion of the paved route. An avid cyclist, Routley says he uses the E & N Trail regularly. Green Party candidate Paul Manly says he also is a frequent Rail Trail traveller. Manly also confided he favours the more direct, expensive route for future trail expansion. Mayor Bill McKay commented he’s behind anything that creates safe bike routes in the city. He feels the finished trail will be a huge boon to Nanaimo, as well as addressing goals and objectives of the city’s transport master plan. worledgedm@gmail.com

Journalist accused of bid to damage Furlong Lawyer says Laura Armstrong sought to prove him guilty LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A freelance journalist embarked on a campaign to discredit former Vancouver Olympics CEO John Furlong because she was critical of male authority figures, his lawyer says. In a heated exchange, John Hunter accused Laura Robinson of presuming that Furlong was guilty of beating and taunting First Nations’ students at a Roman Catholic school in northern British Columbia. “Your whole intention here was to bring down Mr. Furlong, wasn’t it?” Hunter asked in B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday. “He was one of those male authority figures you like to criticize and you thought you had the goods on him, didn’t you?” “That’s incorrect,” said Robinson, who is suing Furlong for defamation over public comments he made after she wrote a newspaper article about the allegations against him. The September 2012 story published in the Georgia Straight included sworn affidavits from eight former students who said Furlong abused them while he was a physical education teacher in Burns Lake in 1969 and 1970. Emails read out in court showed an earlier draft of Robinson’s story included an allegation of sexual abuse that was cut out by the Straight and the
FURLONG
Toronto Star, which later chose not to run the story. The court heard that the journalist sent the 4,500-word draft to multiple outlets, including First Nations’ newspaper Anishinabek News, which cut it down to a six-paragraph article that it published a day after the Straight. The brief article included a statement that one former student of Furlong had gone to the Burns Lake RCMP with an allegation of sexual abuse. Hunter called it a “scurrilous” and “unfounded” accusation that Robinson was eager to publish. But the Ontario-based journalist said the statement was true — RCMP were investigating a complaint made by a former student — and added it is the job of editors to decide what to include. Hunter said RCMP found no
evidence to support the woman’s allegation. Beverly Abraham dropped her lawsuit in 2014, while two other sex abuse claims were dismissed this year. The lawyer grilled Robinson about a notice she circulated in Burns Lake that said she was looking for former Immaculata School students who were abused by Furlong. “Are you not aware that this is the worst way to go about doing those interviews?” Hunter said. “Why did you identify the target of your investigation?” Robinson replied that there were often multiple abusers at residential schools and she wanted to make it clear who she was asking about. Hunter also said she was an hour late to a meeting in the Burns Lake band office, where 35 people showed up, and he questioned whether this raised the danger of collusion. “I don’t know what they said to each other in advance,” she replied. “My experience with them, and many, many other survivors of abuse is that they don’t talk about it. It’s not casual conversation unless it’s in a trusted environment.” While Robinson was pursuing the story in 2012, she sent emails outlining the abuse allegations, with sworn affidavits attached, to the Canadian Olympic Committee and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson.

New curriculum to have aboriginal history focus
Man convicted again of killing woman in 1993
Students as young as 10 in British Columbia will soon be taught that past discriminatory government policies towards Aboriginal Peoples resulted in the crushing legacy of Canada’s residential-school system. Starting in Grade 5, students will learn about the schools and other racist government programs, such as the Chinese Head Tax, as part of a new education curriculum. B.C.’s Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad said Wednesday the classes will give students a more complete understanding of the province’s history with its Aboriginal Peoples and strengthen reconciliation efforts.
A man has been convicted of manslaughter for the second time, more than two decades after a 19-year-old woman was found dead in a ditch following a party in Kelowna. Jurors found Neil Snelson guilty at about 9 p.m. Tuesday. Jennifer Cusworth was strangled and struck on the head repeatedly before her body was discovered in 1993. An investigation led to Snelson being charged in 2009. A forensic pathologist testified that Cusworth suffered skull fractures from the blows to her head. Evidence presented by the Crown showed Snelson’s DNA matched semen found on Cusworth’s body.

LNG project gets federal environmental go-ahead
Pickton brother denied postponement of suit
A multibillion-dollar liquefied natural gas project led by Royal Dutch Shell was given the environmental go-ahead on Wednesday, subject to dozens of conditions. The LNG Canada project — planned for Kitimat — obtained the blessing of both the federal and B.C. governments following a streamlined review process. Ottawa’s approval comes with 50 legally binding conditions dealing with fish habitat, migratory birds, human health and a host of other matters. Meanwhile, provincial Environment Minister Mary Polak and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued an Environmental Assessment Certificate for the project.
A woman accusing the brother of serial killer Robert Pickton of threatening to rape and kill her more than two decades ago will soon get the chance to tell her story in court. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Carol Ross rejected an application from David Pickton that a civil lawsuit filed against him in 2013 be postponed. Ross said she took seriously concerns raised by the woman’s social worker about the impact another delay may have on her mental health. Pickton applied earlier this month for an adjournment, citing a scheduling conflict for his legal counsel. The application to adjourn was filed in court twelve days before the trial’s expected start date next week.

Trial told of infamous $90K Duffy cheque Money was first transferred from U.S. to Canadian account KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A government forensic accountant who delved into Mike Duffy’s finances, testified Wednesday about the trail taken by the notorious $90,000 payment to Duffy from the prime minister’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright. Mark Grenon, who was contracted by the RCMP to examine the embattled senator’s accounts, was testifying for a second day at Duffy’s trial. He said the Wright money was first transferred from an American account to a Canadian account on March 25, 2013. The funds were then moved to an Ottawa law firm, Nelligan O’Brien Payne, and subsequently into Duffy’s bank account. The Receiver General of Canada then received $90,172.24 from Duffy, Grenon added. Before this all unfolded, Grenon said Duffy was involved in other financial activities. On March 22, Duffy refinanced his home in an Ottawa suburb for $91,600. Grenon said $80,000 was transferred to Duffy’s line of credit on the same day. Duffy has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges include fraud, bribery and breach of trust. The single bribery charge relates to the
DUFFY
$90,000 payment. During court proceedings, Duffy’s lawyer said the Receiver General would have been under the impression the payment came directly from Duffy. “It makes it appear, doesn’t it, at the end of the day ... that Nigel Wright’s $90,000 ... came from Sen. Duffy?” Bayne asked. “In the eyes of the Receiver General? Yes it does,” Grenon said. Grenon also told court money could have been concealed with the advice of a forensic accountant. “Look, I didn’t say he did it perfectly,” Bayne said. “I don’t think this was done with the intent to hide,” Grenon said. The RCMP also investigated
Wright, but no charges were laid. Wright maintained he gave the senator the money to ensure taxpayers did not have to foot the bill for Duffy’s questioned expenses. Grenon also analyzed other aspects of Duffy’s financial situation and said the senator filed federal and provincial taxes as an Ontario resident up until 2013, when the expense scandal first erupted. He was named to the Senate as a member from Prince Edward Island. The accountant has already testified that Duffy’s finances were precarious during his time as a senator, with more money going out than coming in. He said the senator kept things going by tapping a line of credit, which at one point had risen to $100,000. Ontario Justice Charles Vaillancourt still has to determine if Grenon’s testimony will be entered as fact for the purposes of the trial. Proceedings will last until the end of the week before the trial goes on a summer break. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

English trademarks Suspect in Canadian Tire must now include French standoff eludes police Quebec has made good on its promise to amend the province’s language laws to require retailers to add a French description to go with their commercial trademark English names. “This fall, our government will propose amendments to the regulations respecting the language of commerce and business,” Culture Minister Helene David said Wednesday. David said the additional French descriptor could be anywhere on the trademark. She estimated that about 20 per cent of Quebec enterprises have their trademarks uniquely in English.
Police in Timmins, Ont., say a man remains at large following a day-long standoff at a Canadian Tire store where the suspect was believed to be holed up with at least one high-powered gun. Insp. Mike McGinn said the store’s alarm went off around 4 a.m. Wednesday and employees found an intruder in the building when they arrived and called police. Police say they do not believe the suspect is in the containment area any longer. There was a flurry of social media because of ambulances seen in the area. But police say there were no injuries.

Terror suspect tracking tool delayed once more
McGill medicine program put on probation by body
The Conservative government appears set to miss another target date for delivering a border tracking system that could stop homegrown terrorists from joining battles overseas. And with just days left in the parliamentary calendar before a fall election, it is unclear when — or even if — the necessary legislative and regulatory changes will come. The Canada Border Services Agency, which is leading the project, continues to consult with the federal privacy commissioner, partners and other interested parties on the initiative, said Pierre Deveau, a border agency spokesman.
McGill University’s prestigious medical school has been placed on probation by the Canadian body that grants accreditation because it says the curriculum fell short of academic standards. But the dean of McGill’s faculty of medicine said Wednesday they are already working to correct issues that have been raised. A survey team from the Association of Faculties of Medicine in Canada, the body that grants accreditation, visited McGill in late February. McGill’s principal and vice-chancellor, Suzanne Fortier, was informed in writing in midJune that they’d voted to place the program on probation.

Cyberattack focused on federal websites

JIM BRONSKILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — No personal information was compromised during a cyberattack that temporarily crippled some federal government websites, says Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney. The Anonymous online collective claimed responsibility for the attack — which shut down several federal sites and played havoc with email — as a protest against the recent passage of the federal anti-terrorism bill. Early Wednesday afternoon, Treasury Board President Tony Clement tweeted that until full service was restored, the public should use 1-800-OCanada. Several hours of government silence on the incident, known as a denial of service attack, followed. The federal Cyber Incident Response
Centre, which routinely publishes alerts and advisories, posted nothing about the events. “We are working on restoring services as soon as possible,” said a brief, late-afternoon statement from Dave Adamson, the government’s acting chief information officer. “We continue to be vigilant in monitoring any potential vulnerabilities.” Denial-of-service attacks, which bombard a site with traffic, are a common means of shutting down a web server. Anonymous has carried out cyberattacks against governments, corporations and others in the name of free speech, Internet liberties and anti-capitalist causes. There was no immediate confirmation that the loosely knit coalition was actually behind the assault on federal sites.
However, Blaney said there were no excuses for such an attack, noting “law-enforcement agencies” were looking into the matter. The incident follows a high-profile hacking of the National Research Council last year — an episode the federal government blamed on a Chinese state-sponsored player. Beijing has denied involvement, accusing Canada of making irresponsible accusations. Assaults that crippled computer systems at the Finance Department and Treasury Board in 2010 were linked to efforts — possibly originating in China — to gather data on the potential takeover of a Canadian potash company. The government stresses it has since invested energy and millions of dollars in a national cybersecurity strategy. “Cybersecurity is an issue that we take very seriously,” Blaney said.

Comments of general condemned by PM STEPHANIE LEVITZ THE CANADIAN PRESS
Officers march along side the hearse during the funeral procession for slain police officer Const. Daniel Woodall in Edmonton on Wednesday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
Slain colleague honoured by thousands of officers Const. Daniel Woodall remembered as dedicated to his job BOB WEBER THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — They came to honour a father, a husband, a son and a friend. But Const. Daniel Woodall, Regimental Number 2829, was also recognized as a dedicated police officer who had only begun to tap his talents as protector of the abused and the bullied. Woodall came into his own when he was assigned to the hate-crimes unit and his “tragic and senseless” death means a “life work cut short,” Edmonton police Chief Rod Knecht told mourners at the slain policeman’s funeral Wednesday. “It was this last posting, more than any other, that brought out elements of his personality that made him such an effective police officer. He helped those that were abused or bullied and ... those who needed assistance,” Knecht said. “Dan invested time and effort in many, many Edmontonians.
He served faithfully, modestly and proudly with an incredible depth of commitment.” Woodall was shot and killed last week as he was trying to arrest a man he’d been investigating. Norman Raddatz was believed to be behind vicious anti-Semitic bullying that had led an Edmonton family to fear for its safety. Woodall’s work spoke volumes, said Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson. “Dan’s work with the hate-crimes unit speaks to the kind of city that we are building. We will continue Dan’s good work and build upon his exemplary leadership, reaching across communities to forge deep and lasting relationships with one another, human being to human being. “We are truly grateful for the example that Dan has set for all of us.” Woodall’s widow, Claire, and the couple’s two- and four-yearold sons, watched from the front
rows in a cavernous convention centre as colleagues and friends paid tribute to the 35-year-old officer, who came to Edmonton in 2007 after starting his policing career with the Greater Manchester Police in England. “My first thoughts were that he looked like a 12-year-old in uniform,” said friend and colleague Dave Ainsworth of the freshfaced young man who walked into the police station in Manchester in 2002. Michael Catlin, a New York Police Department officer who met Woodall at a policing conference in Calgary last year, said the two of them immediately hit it off. They liked to talk about everything from their tattoos to martial arts to snappy suits to their Jeeps. Catlin said Woodall never pretended to be anybody but himself. “Dan was the purest form of himself. He stood a gentleman among men. He stood a cop among police.”
OTTAWA — An awkward turn of phrase or a revealing glimpse into the mindset of senior leadership in the Canadian military? Remarks made by the chief of defence staff suggesting men are “biologically wired in a certain way” to make them believe it is OK to sexually harass women sparked debate Wednesday about whether the Canadian Armed Forces can deal with sexual harassment in its ranks. The Liberals called for Gen. Tom Lawson to be immediately fired or step aside, but Lawson’s term ends this summer and his replacement is already teed up, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told question period. “The comments made here are offensive, they are inappropriate, they are inexplicable,” Harper said. “The general did immediately apologize.” In a statement Tuesday night after he made the comments in an interview with the CBC, Lawson called his comments an awkward characterization and said he was in no way trying to excuse anyone from responsibility for their actions. But several MPs didn’t appear to accept that apology Wednes-
LAWSON
day, grilling Lawson about his remarks during an appearance before the Defence committee. “You dumbed down the problem of sexual harassment in the military,” said Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant. “You’re dumbing down the position of chief of defence staff.” Lawson said he made the comment in an effort to answer a question about how sexual harassment was still a societal problem in 2015, not just in the military but everywhere. “It was unhelpful conjecture on my part as to what might motivate someone in a heinous way to believe that they can press themselves on someone else,” he said. “It was not helpful and it is for that reason I apologized.”
Bodies of three fishermen recovered off Newfoundland THE CANADIAN PRESS
PLACENTIA BAY, N.L. — The family of one of three crab fishermen whose bodies were recovered Wednesday from Placentia Bay in Newfoundland is thanking the coast guard for its efforts in a heart-breaking search. “They did a wonderful job, and the Hickey family is really glad that they were there to help us,” Keith Hickey said from Southern Harbour on the northeast coast of Placentia Bay.
“They went over and above.” Search and rescue crews recovered the bodies of two of the men Wednesday morning and the third in the afternoon near their overturned boat. RCMP say weather conditions were good when the men left in to check fishing pots around 5 a.m., but had deteriorated considerably by late morning. A Cormorant helicopter from Gander, a Hercules plane from Greenwood, N.S., and a coast guard lifeboat helped in the search.

WORLD NEWS The Associated Press
Canada’s migrant holding policies under fire “A CBSA officer essentially has the discretion to determine that somebody should be held in maximumsecurity jail conditions.”
COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Canada’s rising detention of non-criminal foreigners in maximum-security prisons amounts to arbitrary, cruel and inhumane treatment that violates international obligations, a disturbing new report concludes. The report by the University of Toronto’s International Human Rights Program finds that Canada Border Services Agency has become more heavy handed in dealing with migrants with little or no accountability. Renu Mandhane, a criminal lawyer and the program’s executive director, said the report reveals “shocking gaps” in the rule of law.
Renu Mandhane, International Human Rights Program director
“A CBSA officer essentially has the discretion to determine that somebody should be held in maximum-security jail conditions,” Mandhane said Wednesday. The report, called We Have No Rights, concludes incarceration
can have a catastrophic impact on migrants’ mental health. It contains harrowing profiles of detainees imprisoned for as long as eight years who talk of a lack of access to support services, confinement in cold windowless cells, their despair. “They treat us like garbage,” one inmate told researchers. “We had no rights at all.” Figures show Canada detained more than 7,300 migrants at a cost of more than $50 million in 2013. About one third were incarcerated in jails, even though few might be considered criminals. A Red Cross report found more than 2,000 foreigners in Ontario jails in 2012. Reg Williams, a director of CBSA immigration enforcement
from 2004 until 2012, said the agency has become increasingly “paramilitaristic” with an emphasis on force rather than co-operation. “The dramatic plunge in removals accompanied by a disproportionate rise in detention since 2012 are huge red flags pointing to a detentions program that is out of control,” Williams said. An agency spokesman said “it is not the practice of the CBSA to comment on third party documents.” Several coroners inquests into migrant detainees who have killed themselves or died of medical-related causes as well as the Canadian Red Cross have criticized CBSA’s punitive approach over the years.
◆ BERKELEY, CALIF.
Rotted beams suspected in fatal balcony collapse The balcony collapse that killed six college students appears to have been caused by rotted wooden beams, Berkeley’s mayor said Wednesday as the victims’ heartbroken loved ones began arriving in the U.S. from Ireland. Mayor Tom Bates said investigators believe the wood was not caulked and sealed properly at the time of construction and was damaged by moisture as a result. The crowded fifth-floor balcony broke off an apartment building during a 21st-birthday party held by visiting Irish college students Tuesday, dumping 13 people 15 metres onto the pavement. I “More than likely it was caused by rain and caused by water damage that was done to the support beams,” Bates said.

Greece, creditors blame each other for impasse
Greece and its creditors publicly blamed one another for an impasse in bailout talks Wednesday, on the eve of a eurozone finance ministers’ meeting billed as key to their outcome. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras lashed at rescue lenders for demanding pension cuts, and got support from thousands of Greeks who hit the streets in Athens to protest against any further austerity measures. Greece needs to get more loans from its creditors before June 30, when its bailout program expires and it is scheduled to make a $1.8 billion debt repayment to the International Monetary Fund. Athens still needed to come up with a more realistic plan, EU Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said.

Girl, 11, attacked leaving party at religious centre
Brazilian police said Wednesday they are trying to identify two men who attacked an 11-year-old girl as she left a party at a centre used by followers of Candomble, a syncretic Afro-Brazilian religion. Kaylane Campos was walking down a Rio de Janeiro street with her grandmother Sunday when one of the two men threw a rock that hit her head, causing her to faint. She was taken to a hospital for treatment. Followers of the religion frequently face hostility from Pentecostals who feel that Afro-Brazilian religions are a form of witchcraft and attack Candomble temples. Dos Santos said, however, that it was not known if the attackers belonged to a Pentecostal church.

The massive manoeuvres on NATO’s eastern flank that began in early June include the first-ever training by the new, rapid reaction “spearhead” force, and are NATO’s biggest defence boost since the Cold War. Polish and Baltic state leaders have made it clear that they want to host large numbers of U.S. and NATO forces as a deterrent in the face of a resurgent Russia, and are welcoming the thousands of allied troops to their land and sea test ranges.

France arrests suspect in 1982 terrorist attack
A man considered the “supervisor” of an attack nearly 33 years ago on a deli in the heart of Paris’ Jewish quarter has been arrested in Jordan, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced on Wednesday. Palestinians throwing grenades burst into the Jo Goldenberg deli on Aug. 9, 1982 and sprayed machine-gun fire. Six people, including two Americans, were killed, and 22 injured in the attack on the rue des Rosiers. A Jordanian official said the suspect appeared before a judge who set him free but imposed a travel ban until a decision on his extradition is made. Al-Abbassi is one of three suspects in the attack sought by French authorities.

‘Inside Out’ a nostalgic reflection Epiphanies in Pixar movie are almost invariably about giving into the natural course of life and time Inside Out STARRING: Voices of: Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, Mindy Kalin, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan Director: Pete Docter, Ronaldo Del Carmen RATING: PG RUNNING TIME: 94 minutes Playing at: Avalon Cinemas JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
I
nside Out, the latest Pixar punch to the heart, navigates the labyrinth of a young girl’s mind in an antic, candy-coloured romp through childhood memory to arrive, finally, gloriously, at epiphany. By now it’s a familiar Pixar trajectory from wackadoodle to waterworks: We know it’s coming and we know there’s nothing we can do about it. The wave of tender nostalgia is going to crash down and wash us — happy, misty-eyed saps — out to sea, maybe with Nemo and Dora swimming alongside. Those moments, sentimental and sublime, come in unlikely places: the sudden understanding of a forgotten toy, the astonished realization of a bitter food critic, the flashback of a grouchy old man. The epiphanies are almost invariably about giving into the natural course of life and time: An acceptance, a letting go. Part of the magic is that even when out in space or in a ratrun restaurant, Pixar films stay earthbound. What’s most striking about Inside Out isn’t its inside-thebrain gee-whiz design, but that it’s probably Pixar’s most directly human story yet: An 11-yearold girl, growing up. It’s an event observed and subtly manipulated by a gaggle of voices in the head of young Riley: Joy (Amy Poehler), an effervescent, pixie-haired burst of positivity; Sadness (Phyllis Smith), a blue-tinged, bespectacled mope; Anger (Lewis
Characters, from left, Anger, voiced by Lewis Black, Disgust, voiced by Mindy Kaling, Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, Fear, voiced by Bill Hader, and Sadness, voiced by Phyllis Smith appear in a scene from the animated film, ‘Inside Out,’ playing at Avalon Cinemas in Nanaimo. [THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]
Black), a red block of fury; Fear (Bill Hader), a perpetually nervous squiggle; and Disgust (Mindy Kaling), a snobbish socialite. From inside the “headquarters” of her head, the quintet have all watched Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) compile personality-forming memories, each of which rolls into headquarters like a glowing pinball, to be filed away accordingly in places like longterm memories or the more central “core memories.” Things begin going haywire when Riley and her parents (Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan) move from Minnesota — the scene of her idyllic, hockey-playing youth — to a rundown San Francisco town house. Sadness begins creeping into her core
memories, jeopardizing Joy’s previously unchallenged sunny supremacy. In trying to prevent this scourge of unhappiness, Joy and Sadness get sucked into the recesses of Riley’s mind where they must find a way back through a maze of realms like Imagination Land and Dream Productions, a nightly movie studio of dreams. The interior architecture is bright and clever — there’s literally a train of thought — but the psychology puns drag. Much of the mindscape adventures will surely sail over the heads of many younger viewers, while others will eventually tire of its Inception-like trip into the brain. (An exception is Bing Bong, an
abandoned imaginary friend played by Richard Kind, who cries candy and seems created to prove how Pixar can make literally anything break your heart.) Better is the tenderly depicted daily life of Riley as she struggles to adjust to a new school and city. Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Ronnie Del Carmen, steadily builds in emotional power, aided massively by Michael Giacchino’s beautifully soft and sweet score (he also scored Up and Ratatouille). Inside Out may be about a young girl but it’s really from a parent’s perspective — even the inside voices are guardians of Riley, adjusting as she matures
out of childhood. As he did with Up, Docter has married a rainbow-colored palate with a gentle fable, mixing real and fantasy sometimes awkwardly but always with warm-heartedness. What’s most refreshing about Inside Out is its inversion of the standard prescriptions of bigbudget animation: It’s ultimately about the importance of embracing sadness. This, you may have noticed, isn’t exactly the conventional moral one generally finds at the multiplex. But it’s a fitting lesson to be imparted by Pixar, a master juggler of emotion that has so often moved us with radiant bursts of feeling. Who better to remind us of the value of a good cry?

‘Dope’ a comedy that challenges assumptions Dope STARRING: Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori, Kiersey Clemons Director: Rick Famuyiwa RATING: Restricted RUNNING TIME: 115 minutes ROGER MOORE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Dope is the most daring comedy of the summer, a funny film that hunts for laughs in the everyday menaces that face black teens growing up in the corner of Los Angeles named Inglewood, in the neighbourhood its residents call “The Bottom.” It begins by throwing the three most common definitions of “dope” at us — from drugs to idiocy to “That’s so dope,” the wish to convey the utmost approval. And then writer-director Rick Famuyiwa makes use of every one of those definitions in a tale of smart African-American kids who are a little too “white” for their high school.

Shameik Moore, left, and Zoe Kravitz in a scene from, ‘Dope.’ [THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]
Malcolm (Shameik Moore), Diggy (Kiersey Clemons) and Jib (Tony Revolori) are best friends — totally into skateboarding, rehearsing their punk band, ’90s hip hop nostalgia and prepping for the SATs. Nerds that they are, they dream of college. Malcolm ignores his guidance
counsellor’s “Who do you think you are?” He dreams of Harvard, of not living down to expectations for a kid like him. He and his friends have “a daily navigation between bad . . . and WORSE . . . choices.” We’re not just talking bullying and who each can ask to the
prom (Diggy is a girl, and a lesbian). A wrong step, even one they don’t realize they’re taking, could get them killed. Such as when Malcolm stumbles into the charming/disarming drug dealer Dom (Rakim Mayers) who uses the kid to flirt with the fetching Nakia (Zoe Kravitz), all braided hair, sleepy eyes, piercings and tattoos. That interaction gets the trio invited to a hip drug dealer’s party that ends in a hail of bullets and a police raid. Malcolm has a gun and bricks of drugof-choice Molly (“Molly Ringwald,” MDMA) stuffed into his backpack. His choices go from worse to deadly. No, going to the cops isn’t an option. The dopey opening sets us up for one kind of film, with ignoramuses complimenting Malcolm for his “photogenic memory” and mocking his Kid’n Play hair and Fresh Prince vibe. But the drugs and the violence introduce us to a harsher reality.

The young cast is fresh and believable even though all the ingredients of teen male wish fulfillment fantasy are here. Nubile, naked women fall in the path of virginal Malcolm. But bloodletting, drug abuse and online drug dealing tip this Risky Business into riskier territory, a Friday with gunplay. Thus does film school grad Famuyiwa wander away from the hilarious dialogue — overdosed with friendly uses of the N-word — and goofy antics and into something more serious, with an overlong and Spike Lee preachy third act. Dope as a hint of Virginity Hit and Project X about it, but it goes much further than those transgressive and sometimes violent romps. It challenges its characters, its community and us to think beyond cause-and-effect, stereotypes and expectations. It doesn’t always work, but when it does, Famuyiwa is onto something both funny and thought provoking.

Justin Cook back with V.I.
Spieth looks to begin quest for grand slam
Former Barsby star left the Raiders in 2014 but has since re-committed to football

een Nanaimo football fans knew something was missing at Vancouver Island Raiders games last season after the team’s first handful of games. Because a year ago, fullback Justin Cook was a key recruit for the Raiders under rookie head coach Brian Ridgeway. Personal commitments, though, got in the way of sports and the former John Barsby Bulldogs star fullback and provincial champion left the Nanaimo B.C. Football Conference team with his football future up in the air. But with new head coach Jerome Erdman now at the helm of a Raiders team looking to regain its elite status in the Canadian Junior Football League, Cook has reaffirmed his commitment to football, makings his pledge on paper to play for the Raiders this season on Wednesday. “There was just a lot going on off the field for last year, and I just wasn’t in a good place personally,” Cook said during a Raiders optional team activity on Wednesday night at Comox Field. Originally thinking his playing career may be over, Cook returned to the game by way of helping coach the Barsby Bulldogs. Getting back on the field, he said, sparked his interest to put his pads back on. “I did some coaching for Barsby in Harewood, and it always pulls you back,” Cook said. “You get that itch to come back and play.” Cook had conversations with other B.C. junior football teams, including the conference champion Langley Rams, the Westshore Rebels and the Okanagan

Sun. Playing with the Raiders in Nanaimo, though, is where his heart is. “It means something to play for where you’re from,” he said, “to be able to come home and look at your fans and know that you’re playing for your own
hometown.” The heavy influence of Barsby graduates now on the Raiders, along with the new coaching staff, made the decision an easy one. “Everything’s good about it,” he said. “Obviously the Barsby guys coming is great and it adds young strength to the team. “And the coaches. You’ve got to love who you play for, and we’ve got a great group of coaches here, as we did last year.” Before leaving the team last season as a 17-year-old rookie, Cook, a five-foot-10, 190-pound fullback had two carries for four yards in the Raiders pass-heavy offence during their 5-5 season that saw them fall in the confer-

ence semifinal — the first time they failed to make the championship game since 2005. This year, though, fully committed, Cook just wants to make a positive impact. “I just want to come out here, do my best and help the team out,” he said. “I want to do what I can to make this team better. Our goal is to end up on top at the end of the year.” The Raiders are still in the midst of OTAs and enter fall camp in July before playing their home opener July 25 at Caledonia Park against the Rams.

Masters champion Jordan Spieth understands the rare opportunity that awaits him this week at the U.S. Open. “I have a chance to make history in many ways,” said Spieth, 21, the only player with a chance to sweep all four of golf’s major championships during the 2015 calendar year. “You can’t win a Grand Slam unless you win the first. So I’m the only one with that opportunity this year. I think it’s cool. But I don’t think much about titles. I just try and work towards the next goal.” For the Dallas resident, the next steps along a potential Grand Slam journey will be taken in Thursday’s opening round at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place, Wash. And the guy helping guide those footsteps will be caddie Michael Greller, who has more local knowledge about Chambers Bay than any individual — golfer or caddie — slated to walk between the ropes at a first-time, major-championship venue that has puzzled its share of competitors during practice rounds. Greller, who grew up in the area, attended the first meeting for Chambers Bay caddies when the course opened in 2007. He regularly looped at the facility during the summer months when he was not teaching math and science classes at nearby Narrows View Intermediate School. Greller married his wife, Ellie, at the course in 2013 with Spieth among the invited guests. At a quirky course unfamiliar to most PGA Tour players and their caddies, Greller offers Spieth the type of local knowledge that USGA executive director Mike Davis envisions being essential to Sunday’s winner.

Jays beat Mets 8-0, continue hot streak GREGORY STRONG THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Danny Valencia hit a three-run homer and Kevin Pillar had a solo shot as the Toronto Blue Jays kicked off a five-game homestand Wednesday night by dumping the New York Mets 8-0. Pillar had three of Toronto’s 10 hits as the Blue Jays (35-32) ended a two-game mini-skid in front of 28,906 fans on a cool, comfortable spring evening at Rogers Centre. Drew Hutchison (6-1) worked 5 2/3 innings for the victory. Steve Delabar, Liam Hendriks, Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera completed the six-hit shutout. The Blue Jays, who entered play two games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the American League East, have won 12 of their last 14 games. The loss ended a three-game winning streak for the N.L. East-leading Mets. New York (36-31) beat the Blue Jays in the first two games of the home-and-home series at Citi Field. The interleague set will wrap up Thursday night. Hutchison was helped by some stellar defence from Ryan Goins in the early going. The Blue Jays second baseman made a nice diving snag to rob Lucas Duda of a hit and caught a Michael Cuddyer liner for the third out. In the second inning, Pillar drove in Chris Colabello with a single to plate the game’s first run. Colabello had reached on a walk by Mets starter Jon Niese (3-7). Pillar and Valencia tried a delayed double steal with two outs and runners on the corners, but the Mets didn’t bite and Valencia was tagged out in a rundown on the third-base line. The Mets put two runners on in the third after a Curtis Granderson ground-rule double and Juan Lagares walk. Hutchison fanned Duda to keep New York off the scoresheet. The Blue Jays right-hander was pulled in the sixth after giving up a two-out double to Cuddyer. He allowed four hits and a walk.

CRYPTOQUOTE
The opening lead collected the heart three, deuce and four causing West to switch to the ace of diamonds. West had another decision when partner contributed the five-spot. He elected to try a club but South could claim an overtrick when East won the ace, N-S +630.West had slopped a trick by not playing a second diamond buthefearedthatdeclarerheld the king and ten. This defense would have restricted South to nine tricks. South’s decision to bid 3NT was a reasonable course of action. Partner had ventured a vulnerable pre-empt as dealer and South was virtually guaranteed seven spade tricks. A minor suit lead beginning versus 3NT would present him with a ninth trick.Ten tricks are available at spades because the ace of clubs is onside and the king of diamonds would provide a parking place for a loser. The major suit game would be defeated if West had owned the ace of clubs. The defenders might be unable to win more than two clubs but an early heart switch will set the game.

you are making a difference where it counts. Are you pushing too hard to have your way? Let go for now, and detach from the situation. You will see matters differently as a result. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to see a situation differently. Your ability to get past a problem allows you to go with the flow. Don’t get too upset by what is happening, and don’t lose focus. As a result, your ability to move through a problem will be enhanced. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others seem rather cold right now. Someone might say something that causes you to be upset. Be flexible; you can’t change what is happening. You have an unusual sense of humor, but it probably won’t work on a friend who is singing the blues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do what is needed to make you happier and feel more in touch with your needs and desires. Sometimes you give so much of yourself that you don’t even realize how drained you are. A superior could demand a lot from you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A financial matter could upset you and force your hand. How you deal with someone will change radically if you tap into your creativity. As a result, you’ll find others to be more flexible. Trust your judgment. YOUR BIRTHDAY (June 18): This year you tap into your creativity more often. Though you value your friendships, the unexpected will force you to rely on your own decisions. Your finances will be far more important than you might have anticipated. Honor a change openly, and remain in touch with your feelings. If you are single, you could meet someone in the next few months who ends up being a long-term romance. If you are attached, the two of you need to take off this summer and spend a few days or weeks away from it all. Your relationship will reflect your increased closeness.

Sensible suggestions for pool party guests Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox
Dear Annie: It is summer, so I thought I would put in my two cents on what I want friends and relatives to be aware of when they come to my house to swim. Because I’m the one with the pool, I am often expected to host our family and friends, which is fine. I enjoy it. But people don’t realize how much work it takes. Here are my suggestions: 1. Don’t show up early. Come when suggested. 2. Please bring two towels per person. You use one towel each time you get out of the pool, and when it’s wet, you borrow one of mine. Most of the time, I never see that towel again. Bring a spare. 3. Remember to take all your stuff home with you and please label everything you bring. I don’t know which goggles, towels, shirts or sunscreen are yours when you come back a week later looking for them. 4. If you bring food to one of my pool parties, bring enough to share. And if you want to contribute to the meal I make, bring something substantial. I resent spending $75 on meat and you show up with a bag of chips. And bring drinks and ice. If there are leftovers, take them with you. I can’t store everything. 5. Watch your kids. I’m trying to cook, carry on a conversation, maybe swim a bit, and your precious child is running circles around the pool. Don’t expect me to keep an eye on the kids, too. Have them obey my pool rules. They’re for everyone’s safety. There are probably more things, but that’s enough to make me feel better for now. — Swimming Along Dear Swimming: Everyone has different expectations for their pool guests, but your rules are sensible, especially the last one. Thanks for writing.

NBA
Blackhawks are a ‘true dynasty’
LeBron says Cavs ran out of talent in the finals
Bowman family has led the champs to three Stanley Cups in the last six years
David Haugh Chicago Tribune
W
hen Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman gently handed the Stanley Cup trophy to his father, Scotty, the team’s senior adviser, after Monday’s 2-0 victory over the Lightning, it removed any doubt. A hockey dynasty indeed exists in Chicago: The Bowmans. “It was pretty special to lift that Cup and give it to him,” Stan said. “It’s something I’ve done twice before and I don’t want to stop doing it. I’m still a long way behind his 14 (championships).” Technically, the Bowmans fit the definition better than the Hawks do. Dynasty: (n.) A family that rules over something for a long period of time. Combined, Scotty and Stan have hoisted the silver chalice 17 times since 1976 — true family domination of a sport. But the hotter topic around town involves whether the Hawks winning three Cups in six seasons deserves the dynasty label, not that the debate has cost anybody on the payroll any sleep. “I don’t know what ’dynasty’ means,” Patrick Kane said. “We have three in six years. I know that’s pretty good.” It should be good enough to be the envy of the NHL and one of the model franchises in professional sports but we live in a world that loves assigning terms to trends, semantics be damned. We eschew nuance and prefer tidy labels, and the D-word was attached to the Hawks before the Chelsea Dagger music stopped after Kane’s goal Monday night at the United Center. Suddenly, it became cool to coronate the Hawks. Presenting the Conn Smythe Trophy, NHL Commissioner
SPORTS IN BRIEF News services

Gary Bettman pandered to the UC crowd: “I’d say you have a dynasty.” Before you introduce Bettman’s words as evidence, remember this is the commissioner who sees no link between hockey and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. But the great one, Wayne Gretzky, an expert on the topic after winning five Cups for the Oilers in seven seasons from 1984-90, agreed with Bettman during an interview Tuesday on Sirius Radio. “Oh, absolutely, you win three times in six years, you’re in the making of a dynasty,” Gretzky said. Mayor Rahm Emanuel promised a parade “worthy of a dynasty.” Even Jay Cutler at Bears minicamp declared “the Hawks have a dynasty going right now.” Perhaps the best description came on the cover of Sports Illustrated carrying the headline: “Modern Dynasty.” Therein lies the nuance so many ignore. Modern. Not until the 2005-2006 season did NHL teams adhere to a hard salary cap, which makes comparing what the Hawks have done
with dominant teams of other eras invalid. Gretzky’s Oilers never had to worry about making league-imposed budgets or trading players weeks after they helped their team win a title. Neither did Scotty Bowman’s Canadiens teams when they won four straight Cups from 1976-79 or the Islanders when they captured four in a row from 1980-83. Even when Scotty Bowman won three championships in six years coaching the Red Wings from 1997-2002, money was no object the way it is for his son. “It’s different now, a different game and era,” Scotty said. “In Detroit, we added Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. The Hawks can’t do stuff like that.” What the Hawks did was shrewdly use the system Stan knows as well as you would expect someone with a finance degree from Notre Dame. When Kane fractured his collarbone Feb. 24, the Hawks placed him on long-term injured reserve, which according to league rules allows teams not to count that player’s salary toward the cap while he’s on the list. That cleared $6.3 million of space, allowing
Bowman to trade for Cup hero Antoine Vermette because the cap doesn’t apply in the playoffs. In essence, the Hawks exposed a loophole in the system and, in the giddy aftermath, apologized for nothing. “You have to do that,” Stan said. “Those things happen sometimes. You have to take that to your advantage and try to make the best of it.” The Hawks did, becoming the first salary-cap era team in any of the four major sports to win three titles. The Bowmans say they haven’t discussed which was the better team to win three titles in six seasons: Scotty’s Red Wings or Stan’s Hawks. But both suggested parity makes what the Hawks just pulled off more impressive. “It’s hard to make the playoffs nowadays,” Stan said. “The competitive balance is so different than it was even five years ago. I look back at that 2010 team ... there was much more separation then. As time goes on in a cap system, everything is going to even out as players get distributed around the league. And the difference is minute between teams.” The preference for what to call the Hawks’ run of success depends on interpretation. If you interpret dynasty as describing a team that dominates its sport over an extended period of time, the Hawks qualify. But if you insist on saying a dynasty requires a team to win back-to-back titles, then table this discussion until perhaps next summer. The Hawks sound like they agree with Las Vegas oddsmakers who already made them the 2016 Stanley Cup favorites. “What we experienced was epic, historic — but it’s not going to be once-in-a-lifetime,” Hawks President John McDonough promised. Now that would be the stuff of dynasties, by any measure. » David Haugh is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune.

Warriors, Lee expected to part ways: Report Less than 24 hours after winning their first NBA title in 40 years, comes word the Golden State Warriors are making plans to trade their highest-paid player, David Lee. ESPN reported that Lee and the Warriors have agreed to work together to find a new home for Lee, the former All-Star who has been relegated to mostly a spectator on Golden State’s bench. Lee made $15 million this season and is set to make $15.4 million next season in the final year of a 6-year, $79.5 million deal.

Swimming Australia said in a statement Thursday that neither it nor Palmer, a 4x200-meter freestyle relay gold medallist at the 2008 Olympics, had received notice of the doping breach until April of this year.

Jones expects WR Dez Bryant at Cowboy camp Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants Dez Bryant to spend his entire career with the team, and anticipates that the disgruntled All-Pro receiver will be at training camp and the regular-season opener. Bryant has not signed his franchise tender that will guarantee him $12.8 million this season. He has indicated his willingness to skip regular-season games without a new long-term deal. “I have no doubt that when we play, if we’re still in a franchise situation, I have no doubt that he’ll be leading the way against the Giants,” Jones said Wednesday. “We just know how competitive Dez is and how much he wants to beat the Giants.”

Suh expects Dolphins’ defence to make strides ADAM H. BEASLEY MIAMI HERALD
In case you somehow forgot, the Dolphins’ run defense was awful late in the 2014 season. Miami allowed 165.3 rushing yards per game in the final six weeks, making it no surprise that the team limped to a 2-4 finish and in turn missed the playoffs for the sixth season in a row. Ndamukong Suh wasn’t part of the problem. But teamed again with C.J. Mosley, his running mate in Detroit, he expects to be the solution. “I think as a defensive line as a whole, no matter what, your run game is dependent solely on you guys,” Suh said Tuesday. “You’ve got to set the tone. The way we get off, the way we strike offensive lineman, the way we create a new line of scrimmage . . . is very key and very important. “We have to continue to do that every single play, every single opportunity the team feels like they can run the ball.”
And then, Suh dropped the rhetoric hammer. “It’s very disrespectful for a team to ever run the ball very heavily on you,” he said. “This is a passing league, so for anybody to really run the ball heavily on you, that’s really embarrassing.” Tuesday’s minicamp was the first time Suh and Mosley, who signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Dolphins last week, practiced together with their new team. And although they didn’t actually take a snap together — Mosley eased into the flow with the backups — both players are hoping for a reprise of last year when the games count. The Lions last season ranked first in rushing (allowing 69.3 yards per game), first in yards per rush (3.2), second in total defense (300.9), fourth in yards per play allowed (4.9) and eighth in sacks (42). The Dolphins, at least on the interior line, seem just as talented as that Lions group. Earl Mitchell, rookie Jordan Phillips
and probably either Anthony Johnson or A.J. Francis will round out the rotation at defensive tackle, although all the principles, including coach Joe Philbin, dismissed any such talk as premature. “I’ve always been on a tough D-line my entire career,” said Mosley, entering his 11th NFL season. “I’ve played with a lot of guys. Shaun Rogers, Kris Jenkins, Shaun Ellis. I’ve played with a lot of stout beasts out there, if you will. This will be no different.” Added Suh: “I think we look great on paper. That doesn’t really matter at this time, because we’re not playing against anybody. We just continue to grow as a unit so we don’t just become a great paper team. We want to become an actual great team on the football field and go out there and impose our will.” Suh thinks having Mosley again in the huddle will help make that happen; that’s why he lobbied the front office to make the reunion possible.
JEFF ZILLGITT USA TODAY
CLEVELAND — LeBron James — disappointed, subdued, contemplative, plaintive — had all the words to describe how the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Golden State Warriors and how he lost the Finals for the fourth time in six trips. Five words encapsulated what happened to James and the Cavaliers: “We ran out of talent.” The Cavaliers were without guard Kyrie Irving and forward Kevin Love for several playoff games, Love missing the last three round and Irving in and out of rotation in the Eastern Conference semifinals and finals and out for the last five games against Warriors. Centre Anderson Varejao also missed more than three-fourths of the regular season and playoffs. “Tried as much as we could to try to make up for those guys, but it’s a lot of talent sitting in suits,” James said. He elaborated. “I don’t know any other team -I’ve been watching basketball for a long time. I’m an historian of the game. I don’t know any other team that’s gotten to The Finals without two All-Stars. I cannot remember thinking of it. I can’t remember in the back — I don’t even know if it’s ever happened, for a team to lose two All-Stars and still be able to make it to The Finals.” Then he put a fine point on the ingredients of playoff success. “I’ve had a lot of playoff runs, been on both ends, and I know one thing that you’ve got to have during the playoff run, you’ve got to be healthy,” James said. “You’ve got to be healthy. You’ve got to be playing great at the right time. You’ve got to have a little luck.” All the things the Warriors were, the Cavaliers were not. That shorthanded Cleveland reached the Finals and extended Golden State to six games was an accomplishment, if not minor miracle. What team loses two All-Stars and another quality big man and still go deep in the Finals? A team with LeBron James. “Guarding LeBron James has to be the hardest job in basketball,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. In the Finals, James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists, becoming the first player to be the leading scorer, rebounder and assist man in the Finals, both teams included. Four of 11 Finals MVP voters put James on their ballot. No other player in postseason history averaged at least those stats in a series — not Jordan, not Bird, not Oscar, not Magic. In Game 6, he had 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists, the 59th playoff game of his career (most in NBA history) and 11 this postseason with at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists. And it still wasn’t enough. “When you fall short, it hurts and it eats at you,” he said. “And it hurts me to know that I wish I could have done better and done more and just put a little bit more effort or whatever the case may be to help us get over the hump. But it just wasn’t our time.” James shot 39.8per cent from the floor and 31per cent on three-pointers and bemoaned his efficiency. But that’s what the situation called for with the Cavs missing players. They needed James’ high-volume offense. Why wasn’t he efficient? Not only does James create opportunities for teammates, Love and Irving opened the floor for James. It works both ways, but with the Cavaliers shooting less than 40per cent in the Finals, it made it easy for Golden State to load up defensively on James — double-team him, converge on him as he drove to the basket — and make it difficult for James to score. Cleveland’s perimeter shooting from J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Matthew Dellavedova and James Jones was not good enough to create opportunities for James. “I don’t enjoy being as non-efficient as I was. I don’t enjoy that,” James said.
