OTTAWA — Former Canadian diplomat Ken Taylor, fondly remembered as a hero for his role in sheltering six U.S. citizens during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis in Tehran, a real-life drama known as the Canadian Caper, has died. He was 81. Taylor, who was diagnosed in August with colon cancer, died Thursday at about 2:45 p.m. at New York Presbyterian Hospital, family friend Ralph Lean told The Canadian Press. “We lost a true hero,” Lean said. “Those of us who know him lost a friend, but Canadians lost a true hero who just lived life to the fullest and I got lucky enough to be allowed to tag along with Taylor.” Taylor’s wife, Pat, was by his side, said Lean. Taylor is also survived by his son, Douglas, and his wife Dana and two grandchildren. “I was sitting here crying, if you can believe it,” Lean said. “I’m an old guy who doesn’t cry, and I was crying.” Born in 1934 in Calgary, Taylor was heralded as a hero for helping save the Americans — a clandestine operation that had the full support of Joe Clark’s short-lived Progressive Conservative government.

His son Douglas said while Taylor didn’t initially didn’t want his friends and family making a fuss about his health, eventually he warmed to the idea of having them visit him in hospital near the end. “At the end, he came to an acceptance of the time frame that was left, and really for him what was most important for him were obviously his family and his friends,” Douglas Taylor said.

“So a lot of them came down over the past week or so, and he had an anecdote about each and every one of them and it was really quite amazing — he had a great clarity of mind and sense of humour. Right up until the end, until yesterday.” Tributes poured in as news of Taylor’s passing spread. U.S. ambassador Bruce Heyman hailed his “valour and ingenuity” in harbouring the six Americans, an act of bravery for

which he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. “Ambassador Taylor’s courageous actions exemplify the enduring nature of the special relationship between the United States and Canada.” Those 1979 exploits — a highstakes political drama with lifeand-death implications — later became the subject of the 2012 Hollywood film, Argo. Taylor made headlines when he complained about how Canada’s role in the crisis was minimized in Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning thriller about the hostage-rescue exploits of CIA agent Tony Mendez. Affleck set the record straight, saying the CIA operation would not have succeeded without the help of Taylor and his fellow Canadians. “There were folks who didn’t want to stick their necks out and the Canadians did,” Affleck told a Toronto International Film Festival press conference. “They said, ’We’ll risk ourselves, our diplomatic standing, our lives to harbour these six Americans that we owe nothing to and just because it’s the moral, right thing to do.”’ In 2013, Taylor’s story was told once more for posterity at the Toronto International Film Festival, which debuted the documentary, Our Man in Tehran.

Awakening Brother XII Walk in the footsteps of one of our history’s most shadowy figures

uch was the charisma and persuasiveness of the slight and otherwise unassuming-looking Edward Arthur Wilson that within a three hour meeting, he managed to convince wealthy American socialite Mary Connally to hand over a small fortune. It was Aug. 14, 1928 and the two had sequestered themselves in a room at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto, after which Connally returned to Washington, D.C. and mailed a check for $23,000 to Wilson. By then he was already known Julie as the infamous Chadwick Brother XII. Reporting Though this was the largest sum his Aquarian Foundation had yet received from a benefactor, it was by no means the first or the last. By this point Wilson’s foundation already had thousands of members and was well on his way to notoriety as the leader of a growing spiritual movement. Situating himself and some of his more devoted followers on an acreage at Cedar-by-the-Sea, in what was then a remote wilderness of Vancouver Island, Brother XII began his mission to form a spiritual community which believed in the imminent creation of a new, more advanced race of humanity. However lofty its goals, the commune — which spread to neighbouring De Courcey and Valdez Islands — would ultimately fall, as its leader succumbed to the all-too-common temptations of prominent men: money, power and sex. Though some things are known about Brother XII, just as much is shrouded in mystery. This provided an interesting challenge to Aimee Greenaway, inter-

“We just get so many people that come into the museum who are interested in Brother XII. Aimee Greenaway, Nanaimo Museum

pretation curator at the Nanaimo Museum. She said that over the years curiosity about one of the most intriguing figures in Vancouver Island history has remained strong. “I was so shocked when I first started researching him a couple of years ago for that small component of our lantern tour, to find out how much misinformation was out there, and conflicting information,” said Greenaway. “We just get so many people that come into the museum who are interested in Brother XII and when I’m doing other tours like cemetery

tours. He was a component of the lantern tour the last couple of years and we were getting that general feedback, so I thought, ‘What would be a good way to incorporate him into a tour?’” After some further research, Greenaway decided to create a tour that runs Oct. 21 and 28 that winds around various downtown locations connected to Brother XII’s early and later life. Included in the tour are businesses frequented by Brother XII such as Filmer’s Printers, where some of his religious materials were published, and the bank where he reputedly had donations from his followers converted to gold bars. “He said he’d never been there in the physical body, but actually he had an extensive history with Nanaimo, having lived in Nanaimo as well as Victoria as a young man,” said John Oliphant, author of Brother XII: The Strange Odyssey of a 20th-century

Prophet and His Quest for a New World. “Brother XII worked with the lamps in the No. 1 Mine,” he said. “Every miner took a lamp down into the mine and he was in charge of making sure they were working correctly. He had a little cabin at the mine head and it was packed with books because he spent a lot of time reading.” By this point — which historian Jan Peterson estimates to be April of 1927— Wilson was already well on his way as a spiritual prophet of sorts. Three years earlier, while in the south of France, he said he had received a vision of a glowing Egyptian ankh hovering over him as he slept. He then began to hear a voice and was told he was the reincarnation of an Egyptian pharaoh. This voice identified itself as one of twelve masters in the Great White Lodge, according to Oliphant’s research, which is why Wilson — as

the disciple of this master — took on the name Brother XII. When later in Nanaimo, Wilson also appears to have worked in the IXL Stables on Skinner Street, where he made quite an impression on Charles Shaw, the owner of the stable and his daughter, Alva Shaw. “She went on and on in this telephone interview I did with her about how amazing this young man Edward Arthur Wilson was, and how he was a hypnotist, and that he had given a professional stage show at the local Orpheum theatre,” said Oliphant. “She also said that he used to spell in for the minister at the local church and he was a magnificent speaker and he never even had to refer to the Bible. But I know that he knew the Bible inside out because he was raised in a very religious atmosphere in England . . . part of his connection with the bible was his connection with the spirit world because when he was a young man he believed that he had contact with the spirit world — angels and so forth, and that continued throughout his life as he evolved into the figure we know today as Brother XII.” It was not long after his stint at the stables that Wilson set up his first settlement with a group of followers on 126 acres at Cedar-By-The-Sea with money he had procured from wealthy followers. These he gathered through books, pamphlets and a monthly magazine called The Chalice, which spread the word of his new Aquarian Foundation. See ARTICULATE, page 4

‘(He) was articulate and charismatic — he just had some power, some gift, some quality’ BROTHER XII, from page 3 After an incident in which Wilson convinced a lifelong alcoholic and fellow IXL Stables employee to quit drinking, Alva said her father was deeply impressed. After Wilson left, they heard rumours circulating

about the colony in Cedar and Charles decided to check it out. Upon his return he excitedly confirmed it was indeed their former employee. “She said her father was so interested in this man, because he had never met a man like that before, who was so articulate and charismatic. He just had some power, some gift, some quality,” said Oliphant. “I

really believe he was an exceptional guy.” Not long after he received the large sum of money from Connolly, which Oliphant estimates would be $335,000 today, Wilson used some of it to expand the land holdings of the commune by purchasing 400 acres on Valdez Island. Between 1928 and 1933, according to Peterson’s research, a series of sensational trials involving Wilson in Nanaimo gripped the curiosity of local residents. In one trial, which centred on Foundation secretary Robert England’s claim that Wilson had embezzled $13,000 in funds, England’s elderly lawyer collapsed on the bench along with several others, who collapsed on the floor. In the ensuing chaos, according to lawyer and former Nanaimo mayor Victor B. Harrison, Wilson emerged from the audience and approached him to shake hands. The magistrate was so shaken he adjourned the court, wrote Peterson in her book, Harbour City: Nanaimo in Transition, 1920 – 1967. Wilson was not found guilty and proceeded with his plan to buy more land on De Courcey Island. In a subsequent trial in 1933, Connally — who had initially testified in Wilson’s defense in the previous trial — had now joined donor Alfred Barley in a lawsuit against Wilson aimed at recovering some of their money.

onnally had lost a large amount of money in the 1929 stock market crash, and was disturbed by the subsequent ill behaviour of his new companion Mabel Skottowe (or “Madame Zee”), who had banished her from the foundation’s headquarters. Wilson, who never attended and ultimately lost the trial, had already disappeared. His world unraveling, Wilson had reportedly been converting his followers’ money into gold coins, which he then sealed into 43 mason jars and hid around his property on De Courcey Island, according to Oliphant. “In the last days of the colony, it typified all the characteristics of a modern cult,” he said. “He fit the bill on every one of them: charismatic personality, mind control techniques, arming the colony, prediction of the end of the world, only the followers will survive, taking the money from the wealthy followers, isolating them. And then the whole colony implodes.” In Brother XII’s case, he and Madame Zee set upon the cabins and farm equipment at the De Courcey Farm and destroyed his ship, The Lady Royal. Wilson scuttled the ship in a lagoon on the island, shattered her mast with a blast of dynamite and blew a hole in her hull with another. Oliphant figures the attempt to destroy the colony was Wilson’s way of retaliating against various disciples for going against him. Though he did his best to obliterate his own home and those of other colony members, the commune had stockpiled a considerable amount of supplies for what they believed was an imminent Armageddon — home-canned preserves, a ten-year supply of clothing, dried meat, sugar, flour, feed, lumber, guns and ammunition — which was mostly sold off to long-time Gabriola Island resident Bill Coats, who later opened a store with the goods. “What’s fascinating about Brother XII is that, with most cult leaders, we know where they died and how they died but with (him) we don’t know . . . he’s a mystery. He escaped. He vanished into thin air,” said Oliphant.

“With most cult leaders we know where they died and how they died. But with him, we don’t know. He’s a mystery . . . He escaped. He vanished into thin air.” Jon Oliphant, author

“I believe that he fabricated his death.” Even though there is a death certificate from Neuchatel, Switzerland that states Wilson died there on Nov. 7 1934, according to Oliphant he was seen two years after his death. One important character who emerged during Wilson’s court proceedings was his Nanaimo-based lawyer Frank Cunliffe, who became a close confidant. In an interview with Frank’s son Donald, Oliphant was told that two years after Wilson’s death, he drove out to Cedar with his father to visit Mary Connally. At the end of the meeting, Donald — who was about 14 years old at the time — remembers his father told Connally, “There’s nothing I can do, then, but to meet him in San Fransisco.” The entire family then traveled to San Fransisco, and Donald remembers going to the bank with his father to withdraw a large sum of money, which he placed in a briefcase. “Then he went to the harbour and disappeared into a ship, and half an hour later he emerged with a man who was dressed all in white, radiant. A wide-brimmed white hat, white suit, white shoes, everything was white, He just gleamed,” said Oliphant. “This was reported by the son, Don Cunliffe, and his father looked very grim. And the man said to him, ‘I shan’t see you again, Cunliffe, but I may be in touch,’ and when they left the ship, the son said, ‘Was that Brother XII?’ because he knew the story, and his father said he ‘wasn’t permitted to say.’”

he final piece to the story came a year later. Donald told Oliphant the phone rang with a call from a trans-Atlantic operator in Gibraltar. It was for his father, who wasn’t there, and Donald remembers the operator asking the other man on the line, “What would you like to do now, Mr. Wilson?” and the man said, “Have him call the trans-Atlantic operator in Gibraltar.” When his father later returned, Donald passed on the message and Frank asked him to leave the room while he made a call. “A little while later, his son went in the room and his father was sitting there, and he had this expression on his face,” said Oliphant. “He asked his father, ‘Was that the same man we saw in San Fransisco?’ and his father said, ‘Yes, and I hope he goes to hell.’” Artifacts related to Brother XII will be on display at the Nanaimo Museum from Oct. 13 to 31. The Brother XII tours are on October 14, 21 and 28 from 6:30 - 7:15 and the cost is $10 per person. Lantern tours are on Fridays, Oct. 16, 23 and 30 from 6:30 - 8:00 and the cost is $15 per person.

LADYSMITH

Man dead after truck rolls over him

Celebration scheduled to remember teen

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

A Ladysmith man is dead after the truck he was working under rolled over him. It happened Wednesday afternoon and is being investigated as a workplace accident by WorkSafe BC. “For now we are considering him a worker under the Workers Compensation Act,” said Scott Money, a spokesman for the Crown corporation. “The incident happened around 5 p.m. Wednesday. The worker was working under a Ford F-450 truck in his driveway. “The truck rolled over the worker and he succumbed to his injuries on the scene.” On Thursday, the Ladysmith RCMP detachment handed the file over to Worksafe BC. “A WorkSafe BC investigator has been dispatched to the scened and right now the investigation is in its earliest stages,” Money said. WorkSafe was not willing to make any further statement, and the man’s name has not been released. A neighbour said she heard someone yelling and saw firetrucks on her street, just after 5 p.m. “I went to the store and came back and saw them putting a yellow tarp under the body,” said the woman, who declined to give her name.

“It’s pretty tragic,” she said. She said she has lived in the Second Avenue home for about three years, and has known the family “for quite a few years.” The heavy-duty F-450 truck was no

longer on the property Thursday. “My guess would be Worksafe would take it for a mechanical inspection,” said coroner Barb McLintock. “We would want to be done, and

Worksafe would want that to be done as well.” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

A bursary will be created, and a celebration of life is planned in memory of the young man killed in a head-on car crash on the Nanaimo Parkway. Zachary Andrews, 19, died from his injuries the evening of Oct. 5. He was travelling north on the Parkway when his Mazda was struck by a Suzuki Sidekick driven by a 35-year-old Nanoose Bay man. Witnesses reported seeing the Suzuki leave the main traffic lane and enter the Mostar Road turning lane at full highway speed. Instead of turning left, the vehicle continued south into the northbound lane, where it collided headlong into Andrews’ car. Friends are now working to set up a bank account to accept donations to create a trust fund for a bursary in Andrews’ name. Details have not yet been finalized, but donations will be accepted now at www.gofundme.com/9y66yhw4. Some of the donations will also be used to cover costs of Saturday’s celebration at Ladysmith Secondary School. The event is open to the public. More than 500 people are expected. It starts at 2 p.m.

EDITORIAL

Expect the last few days of this election to be a rocky ride

record number of Canadians crammed through advance poll locations across the country over the Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend. One would anticipate that many Canadians would have other things on their minds over the long weekend other than casting an early ballot in this marathon federal election — turkey dinners with family and friends, Toronto Blue Jays playoff games, President’s Cup golf, NFL, college and CFL football action, getting in some final local golf games, shutting down the cottage, cleaning up the yard and garden, picking apples, selecting that Halloween pumpkin, and the list goes on and on. Instead, millions of Canadians voted at advance polling stations — some waiting three hours or longer.

Elections Canada officials were caught unprepared for the onslaught. Data for the fourth and final day Monday is slow coming in but after three days, 2.4 million Canadians had voted, up 16 per cent from the last election in 2011. When Monday’s totals are tabulated, the numbers will top three million and the increase will likely surpass 20 per cent. Pundits suggest that a high turnout indicates Canadians are hungry for change, while a low turnout means people are relatively happy with the party in power. It’s foolhardy to read too much into those numbers. When Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the 11-week-long election on that sleepy Sunday, Aug. 2, morning, the pundits suggested he launched a record 78-day campaign over three months because he want-

ed to lull the electorate to sleep. The Conservatives felt they could outlast, outspend and out-manoeuvre their opponents and carry the day. The record-setting votes cast over the holiday weekend tend to debunk that theory. Canadians are engaged and they are keen to cast a ballot. A Nanos tracking poll released Monday have the Liberals at 35.7 per cent, the Conservatives at 28.9, the NDP at 24.3 and the Greens at 4.8. If there is an anti-Harper vote coalescing, it seems to be in favour of the Liberals at the expense of the NDP who have dropped 10 points this month. It hasn’t been a good news for Mr. Harper. The CTV national newscast recently featured chief political reporter Robert Fife, suggesting a number of top Conservatives are

likely going down to defeat Oct. 19, based on network analysis. The CTV report suggests prominent Conservative candidates in serious trouble include Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Immigration Minister Chris Alexander, the PM’s parliamentary secretary Paul Calandra and former Veterans Affairs minister Julian Fantino. Mr. Fife says the NDP vote in Ontario is collapsing and that Mr. Trudeau is on the verge of winning a minority government — an event hardly even dreamed about by Liberals earlier this year. The Toronto Star, Canada’s largest newspaper, endorsed Mr. Trudeau a day after the editorial board sat down with the Liberal leader. Meanwhile, Mr. Trudeau is actively wooing disenchanted Progressive Conservatives in Ontario and else-

where, calling them friends and neighbours whose party has abandoned them. The PM says polls don’t decide elections, voters do. It’s very true, and so much can change over the final five days of the campaign. A seasoned and ruthless campaigner like Mr. Harper will have a lot to say before this campaign is over. The Conservatives have saved a large portion of their election war chest for television advertising over the final days of the campaign. Buckle up, it’s going to be a rocky and vicious ride to the finish. — THE CANADIAN PRESS (CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN)

Make your repairs when trades people are readily available to do your work? Or wait until there is a shortage and trades people are in high demand and labour costs are much higher and the prime lending rate is no longer 2.7 per cent. It’s obvious you would do your repairs now. Infrastructure throughout Canada is in dire need of repair. Our bridges and highways are failing and our sewer and water lines leaking.

Election may be most important in our history On Oct. 19 Canadians will go to the polls for perhaps the most important election in our history. The three main federal parties have starkly different views on how to manage the economy, national security, tax reform, the oil and gas industry, major pipeline proposals and social values. Our political history has been shaped by statesmen like Sir John A. Macdonald, Wilfred Laurier and Mackenzie King, men who could see beyond appearances and understood the fundamental values of Canadians. I believe a very strong case can be made for Stephen Harper being the fourth Canadian statesman to appear in the last century and a half of our history. He has said the election is not about him but about “cold, hard

choices” and that Canadians will put personalities aside in favour of their own interests which will include lower, not higher, taxes, more free trade with the rest of the world and national security. Consider the words and deeds of Stephen Harper. For example he is far and away the federal leader most onside with public opinion on revoking the citizenship of dual nationals convicted of terrorist offences and the inappropriateness of wearing the niqab while taking the oath of Canadian citizenship. Here Harper is clearly in line with traditional values that Canadians cherish. He has effectively brought in market reforms to a country formerly known for liberalism and big spending. Harper has shown serious commitment to tax reform in Canada. The Harper government has significantly lowered both the federal corporate tax rate and personal income tax rates for families. The choice Canadians will make on election day will be between a rare Canadian statesman with a solid

track record of making important changes in Canada for the good, or an untested leader with virtually no achievements or clear vision for the country. It will be about a “leap into the dark” for the sake of change or an intelligent vote. The choice will be for balanced budgets and responsible fiscal management or reckless deficit spending. I believe Canadians will reject risk and uncertainty in these turbulent times and will opt for stability and a future.

Just four days before the election he is caught emailing an oil company on how to lobby the government on the oil pipeline they want. This straight out of the war room no less. Do you think oil companies don’t know how to lobby? Why would an otherwise intelligent co chair do such a stupid thing? He seems to have been caught right away too, almost on the spot. The timing of it all is perfect and you couldn’t pray for anything better if you are Harper. Politics is a dirty game.

Golf club lockout into sixth month

Animal ban for ‘profound neglect’

Vancouver Island University staff and students rally with workers on the picket line JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

An ongoing labour dispute at the Nanaimo Golf Club received support from members of both Vancouver Island University’s Students’ Union and their Faculty Association on Thursday. The workers, which consist of more than 20 servers, cooks, dishwashers and cleaning staff, have been locked out since April 24. Workers and management are at odds on a range of issues, such as the implementation of a lower starting wage for new employees that they are subject to for a longer period of time, the potential removal of the executive head chef from the bargaining unit, and expanded medical coverage eligibility. Since the lockout, employees have been on the picket line at the club. “These are people trying to support their families. Negotiations can be tough, but that doesn’t mean you get to walk away and lock out your workers,” said Patrick Barbosa, an advocacy organizer at VIUSU. “These folks just want to get back to work, and the golf course has a responsibility to negotiate with their employees, and for some reason they’re choosing not to do that.” He said the student’s union voted to support the workers in April and sent a letter to the golf course two months ago, encouraging them to end the lockout. “We’d only had a few sessions of bargaining. The contract expired March 31 so it’s not like these were longstanding negotiations, we only started in March. “We had a couple of sessions and they decided to throw (the workers) out. It makes absolutely no sense to anybody. That’s not how you negotiate,” said Shelly Ervin, financial secretary-treasurer of the Unite Here Local 40 union. Both sides say what they want now is for the lockout to be lifted and negotiations to resume.

However, union representative Teresa South said negotiations are currently delayed because there are no offers on the table from the golf club that golf club workers can vote on. “They’ve refused to have any offer on the table unless there’s no reprisals for the scabs that have crossed the picket line,” said South. Management continues to negotiate with the union on an ongoing basis and are open to conversation,

said Ash Chadha, general manager of the golf club. He says the lockout was enacted as a reaction to the union serving them a strike notice, as they were concerned it would disrupt planned services. “We continue to come to the table, we continue to have options, however the union’s position is ‘Not good enough,’” said Chadha. “Their demands, we cannot afford. They are asking for money, monetary

items which are well beyond what we can afford. They are very well compensated workers in the food and beverage business in the local community.” With no end yet in sight, the dispute may carry on into the winter months and lucrative Christmas season.

A 23-year-old Parksville man has been banned from owning animals for 10 years after forcing a 14-month Alaskan Malamute to live in what SPCA investigators called “deplorable” conditions in a home along Corfield Street. Nathan Boire pleaded guilty last week in Nanaimo Provincial Court to causing an animal to continue to be in distress. SPCA senior animal protection officer Tina Heary said constables found the female dog named Effy being forced to live in a shed covered in feces and urine. “There were countless mounds of excrement,” said Heary, noting it was difficult to determine how long the dog lived in such conditions. “Some of the waste matter was old and mouldy, some were fresh piles, there was urine throughout the area . . . It was certainly difficult for us to walk in there without (stepping in) it.” Heary said the case illustrates “profound neglect” of an animal. “One of her legs was swollen at a joint, angled irregularly,” she said. “She was not walking on the pads of her feet, she was trying to walk on her knuckles.” Heary said the owners admitted the dog had never been to a vet and voluntarily surrendered her to the SPCA. She said the dog has since underwent surgery for her untreated fractures, but there are still many unanswered questions. “Obviously something happened to her,” she said. “There’s the element of her being in pain and suffering but also being kept in the shed with cold cement floors, feces and urine everywhere, it was dirty and filthy with a sopping wet dog bed to lie in.” Heary said the dog has since been adopted out to “a loving family” in the mid-Vancouver Island region.

VANDALISM

Game over at popular playing field due to vehicle attack SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

A popular playing field in north Nanaimo sustained thousands of dollars in damage and could be closed for the season after being carved up by vehicle tracks. The city’s parks department is asking the public for help in tracking down those responsible for the damage in Pleasant Valley Park, off Doumont Road, which is home to two baseball diamonds and a soccer field. Parks operations manager Al Britton say city staff believe the incident took place sometime Monday night or early Tuesday morning. “We do know it happened after dark,” he said. Britton said one or more people cut

the chain link preventing vehicles from entering the field and proceeded to drive a car, jeep or small truck around the field, leaving two- to 2.5-inch ruts. The damage covers approximately three-quarters of the field and will cost an estimated $2,500 to $3,000. But the cost may be less important than the time it takes for the field to recover. Britton said the ruts will need to be filled and fresh grass will have to be planted. The city is hoping the field can be re-opened by December. But if a cold snap arrives and prevents new grass from sprouting, “it could be shut down for the season,” Britton said. The field has been damaged by vehicles in two previous incidents

this year already, albeit to a lesser extent. A city staff member reported the damage the following morning. So far, there have been no leads on tracking down the culprit or culprits. Britton said the city canvassed residents living near the park for information, but turned up nothing. “It’s a shame, because this is a cost to taxpayers,” Britton said. “It doesn’t look good.” Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the city at 250-755-7515 or 250-756-5200, or call the RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.

LILLOOET

Hammer attack stuns community THE CANADIAN PRESS

LILLOOET — A man who died following a rampage in a British Columbia First Nations community went from office to office beating employees with a weapon before he could be stopped, says the chief of the Bridge River Indian Band. Susan James said her village of less than 400 people is reeling following the attack that left 11 people injured. The unnamed man who died was also a member of the band and is reported to have used a hammer. “This person entered several offices,” James said about Wednesday’s attack. “There wasn’t an awareness of what was taking place. He just entered three offices, kind of in a row, and inflicted injury in those offices before anybody noticed that something was happening.” RCMP said they were called just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to a report of a man with a weapon at the office of the Bridge River Indian Band, also known as the Xwisten, about nine

kilometres northwest of the Interior community of Lillooet. Officers arrived to find the suspect restrained. He was arrested, but police said they were unable to transport him because he was unconscious and unresponsive. He could not be revived.

James said three of the victims with the most serious injuries are women who work for the band. They remain in hospital in Kamloops. She said the band’s administrator and another man, who was visiting the office, were also injured and are still in hospital. James didn’t name the man who died, but said he was young. “I can’t say that it had a mental episode,” she said. “I just know he’s a band member who didn’t have a job, wasn’t employed, and was living in the community and obviously needed some kind of help that we weren’t giving him.” James said poverty, unemployment and mental health troubles are long-standing issues among band members. She said the man wasn’t considered dangerous. “Who can expect that someone can be that violent. I personally can’t.” She said she expects the community to do some deeply personal soul-searching as they examine what kind of emotional and social support they an offer members.

Woman arrested after stroller snatch attempt THE CANADIAN PRESS

A woman has been arrested in Victoria after allegedly attempting to abduct a child from a stroller. Police say they were called to an elementary school at around 3 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a report of a woman trying to leave the area with a child who was not hers. The incident occurred after a caregiver arrived at the school to pick up a student, pushing a stroller carrying the child’s younger sibling. Police say the caregiver was approached by another woman who she did not know and that the unknown woman reached down and tried to take a child out of the stroller. Police say the caregiver, school staff and parents realized that something was wrong and separated the second woman from the children. Officers arrived and took the unknown woman into custody and say and she was transported to hospital for assessment though it’s unlikely that charges will be recommended.

COURTENAY-ALBERNI

NDP, Tories are in dead heat in riding, says poll SCOTT STANFIELD COMOX VALLEY RECORD

According to polling data from the Dogwood Initiative, the Courtenay-Alberni riding is a “statistical tie” between NDP candidate Gord Johns and Conservative candidate John Duncan. Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson and Green candidate Glenn Sollitt have both posted gains, but remain in third and fourth place. Last month, Johns had the most voter support, though an Insights West poll indicated NDP support was on the slide. May numbers indicated the party held about a 13-point lead. By September, however, Duncan had climbed to within six points. “Voters in the riding of Courtenay-Alberni appear to be focused on national trend-lines that have seen support bleed away from the NDP to the Liberals and Greens since the beginning of the election,” said Dave Mills, Dogwood Initiative field organizer for Northern Vancouver Island. “Two polls released within a day of each other sampling just under 1,100

Students ask candidates who they would vote for, if not themselves CANDACE WU PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

Candidates for the Courtenay-Alberni riding have answered the same questions more than a few times. But Tuesday afternoon they were thrown a curve ball by the Kwalikum Secondary School’s student body. At the Qualicum Beach high school’s standing-room-only election forum, one student poignantly asked: Who would you vote for in this election if you couldn’t vote for yourself? “Locally, I’d vote for the guy I like the best and that’s Glenn Sollitt (Green),” Conservative candidate John Duncan answered modestly. Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson agreed, saying the Green Party’s environmental ideals aligned closest with the Liberals so she would also vote for Sollitt. Sollitt said he wouldn’t vote for any of his fellow candidates. “I wouldn’t vote,” he said to jeers from the audience of more than 400 students.

“Pathetic. You’re telling all these students to get out and vote and then you say you wouldn’t even vote if you couldn’t vote for yourself?” Gord Johns, NDP candidate

“In the last provincial election, I’m being really honest here — what I usually do is research the leader, the party and the local candidate and try to find a combination I like . . . I couldn’t find that so I didn’t vote.” Sollitt said that while it’s important to vote, people should vote for someone and/or a party they believe in — noting one of the reasons he decided to run in this federal election was because he didn’t see a candidate he would support. Sollitt confirmed he would not cast a ballot in the upcoming

election if he couldn’t vote for the Green Party. NDP candidate Gord Johns said he would do his research and “vote for the best candidate to defeat the Conservatives,” however, he didn’t name a specific candidate or party. After the forum, Johns called Sollitt’s answer “pathetic. You’re telling all these students to get out and vote and then you say you wouldn’t even vote if you couldn’t vote for yourself?” said Johns. “That’s just pathetic.” Asked about their stance on a woman’s right to wear a niqab, or veil, that partially covers their face, Powell-Davidson said: “Every woman in Canada has the right to dress however they want to” drawing the biggest applause of the afternoon. Both Sollitt and Johns agreed, saying they support respect and diversity. Duncan agreed with the other candidates, but said the only exception is that no one should be wearing a head covering when entering the Canadian family.

FEDERAL ELECTION

Mulcair continues to hammer Trans-Pacific Partnership deal TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair stepped up his attack on the Trans-Pacific Partnership in the last days before the Oct. 19 federal election, rallying union support to oppose Canada’s biggest-ever trade agreement. The NDP campaign emphasized support from the Canadian Union of Public Employees and health care unions, adding to vocal opposition from Unifor, the union representing auto workers. The NDP has described the TPP as a secret deal that could drive up drug costs and cost jobs by removing tariffs from imported vehicles and other products. The TPP, agreed to in principle last week

by 12 countries including Canada, the U.S., Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand, provides only minimal foreign access to supply managed poultry, dairy and egg markets in B.C. and across the country. International Trade Minister Ed Fast took a break from his Conservative re-election campaign in Abbotsford to conclude the TPP talks in Atlanta last week. Fast said it keeps the government’s promise to preserve supply management in farm products, by offering “modest” import access and paying farmers for any loss of revenue. Over five years, the TPP would open to imports 3.25 per cent of Canada’s dairy production, 2.3 per cent for eggs, 2.1 per cent for chicken, two per cent for turkey

and 1.5 per cent for broiler hatching eggs. For beef and other farm products, the TPP gives Canada full access to the U.S., Australia and other competitors in the Pacific Rim, Fast said. The NDP’s opposition to trade deals goes back a long way. Mulcair has repeatedly demanded that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau take a position on the TPP, and that the Conservatives release the full text of the agreement before the vote. B.C. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat praised the TPP deal, noting it phases out tariffs in Asian countries on B.C. salmon, halibut, herring, crab, geoduck, blueberries, fresh and frozen vegetables, pork and icewine.

Egg, dairy and poultry producers have kept most of their controlled market access and are to be compensated for any losses under the slim foreign access granted under the Trans-Pacific Partnership. [ABBOTSFORD NEWS]

FOR CVRD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT BYLAW NO. 3931 [Arts & Culture Initiatives Service]

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD), proposes to adopt “CVRD Bylaw No. 3931 – Arts & Culture Initiatives Service Establishment Bylaw, 2015”. BYLAW SUMMARY If adopted, Bylaw No. 3931 will allow the CVRD to annually requisition up to the greater of $130,000 or an amount equal to the amount that could be raised by a property value tax of $0.01029 per $1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements to support Arts & Culture initiatives and programs within the regional district. The maximum cost to residential property owners within the CVRD with a residential property assessed at $100,000 would be $0.85 per year, as set out in the table below. The complete bylaw is available for review at the CVRD office, located at 175 Ingram Street in Duncan, during regular office hours, Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, excluding statutory holidays. A copy of the bylaw is also available on the CVRD website at www.cvrd.bc.ca. CALCULATION TABLE

Net Taxable Value (Land & Improvements) $100,000

Maximum Annual Cost Per Residential Property Owner $0.85

Number of Electors in the Services Area 60,388

10% of the Electors 6,038

ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS AND ELIGIBILITY The CVRD may adopt this bylaw unless at least 10% of electors within the regional district indicate that a referendum must be held by submitting a signed Elector Response Form to the CVRD office no later than 4:30 pm, Wednesday, November 18, 2015. The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the CVRD, and only those persons who qualify as electors of the Cowichan Valley Regional District comprised of Electoral Areas: A - Mill Bay/Malahat; B - Shawnigan Lake; C - Cobble Hill; D - Cowichan Bay; E - Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/ Glenora; F - Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls; G - Saltair/Gulf Islands; H - North Oyster/Diamond; I - Youbou/Meade Creek; and the City of Duncan; District Municipality of North Cowichan; Town of Ladysmith; and Town of Lake Cowichan are entitled to sign. Electors may qualify as either resident electors or as non-resident property electors, as follows:

Island Health will charge for parking at the new Campbell River Hospital facility despite pleas from the public, various elected officials and the region’s own hospital board for it to be free. Just how much it will cost, who will be in charge of collecting it, and what that money will be spent on are yet to be determined. “Fees will be determined by Island Health Parking Services based on St. Joseph’s General Hospital and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital parking rates,” according to the recent announcement by Island Health. St. Joseph’s parking rates are $1.50 for one hour, $2.25 for two hours, $7 daily and $25 for a weekly permit. Nanaimo Regional’s rates are $2.25 for the first two hours, $1.25 per hour thereafter with a weekly permit costing $26.75. “Island Health recognizes that pay parking in hospitals is not popular,” says Dan Maclennan of Island Health Communications, “however pay parking is standard practice in the vast majority of care facilities in urban areas.” The Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital District’s own board of directors denounced the notion of pay parking at their Sept. 17 with a motion to write a letter of support to Island Health, “to request that all on-site parking at our new hospitals sites be provided ‘free of charge’ to patients and family members.

Resident Elector – You are entitled to submit an Elector Response Form as a resident elector if you are age 18 or older on the day of submission, are a Canadian citizen, have lived in BC for at least six months, and have been a resident of the CVRD for the past 30 days or more. Non-Resident Property Elector – You are entitled to submit an Elector Response Form as a non-resident property elector if you are age 18 or older on the day of submission, are a Canadian citizen, have lived in BC for at least six months, have owned and held registered title to a property in the CVRD for the past 30 days or more, and do not qualify as a resident elector. NOTE: Only one non-resident property elector may submit a response form per property, regardless of how many owners there may be. If less than 10% (6,038) of the area electors submit an Elector Response Form, the bylaw will be deemed to have the approval of the electors and the CVRD Board may adopt the bylaw. For the purpose of conducting the alternative approval opportunity, the number of area electors is calculated at 60,388.

INSURANCE

ICBC approves increase to rate premium JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

The Insurance Corp. of B.C. has decided to raise basic auto insurance premiums by 5.5 per cent, driving up the annual cost by more than $44 for the average driver. And a further jump in optional premiums for coverage like third-party liability will add nearly $16, for an annual increase of about $60 on average. The basic premium increase is less than the 6.7 per cent jump ICBC had warned in August might be required as a result of rapidly rising injury claims and the resulting payouts. The hit is lower in part because the province has approved an unusual $450-million transfer of capital from ICBC’s optional insurance business to the basic insurance side. There’s been growing financial pressure on the basic side, while ICBC has had more wriggle room in recent years to actually decrease rates on its optional side, where it does not hold a monopoly and competes with private insurers. But officials say optional costs are also on the rise because optional third-party liability insurance covers injury payouts over $200,000. Adrian Dix, the NDP’s critic on ICBC, noted the average driver will be paying nearly 30 per cent more in basic premiums than they did when Christy Clark became premier in 2011. “Overall what we’re talking about is a major, major increase in rates for the average motorist,” Dix said, who lays part of the blame on management decisions at ICBC and trouble with the rollout of its new computer system. Dix noted the provincial government has not opted to forgo the $160-million annual dividend it extracts each year from ICBC’s optional side. “They’re not sacrificing,” he said. “They’re doing a double dip on the optional side.” Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokesman Jordan Bateman said the continued flow of dividends to the government is particularly frustrating. “Despite the fact we get gouged for more money each year, the government continues to suck all the profits out and puts them into general revenue,” Bateman said. “We have a government that talks about affordability but erodes it when it comes to ICBC rates that continually jump higher than the rate of inflation.” He suggested better driver training and tougher fines might help cut crashes and claims.

Hospice beds open in one of Canada’s oldest communities

Accused in hit-and-run in court for breach of bail

Residents ordered to boil their water after E. coli found

Emotions ran high last week as the new five-bed Hospice space was officially unveiled at Trillium Lodge in Parksville Qualicum Beach, which has one of the oldest populations in the country. “End of life affects all of us at some point,” said a teary-eyed Michelle Stilwell, Parksville-Qualicum MLA and Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation. The new five-bed hospice space will provide patients and their families with clinical supports and care through to the end of life. Island Health is hoping to get clients in this month.

The Bowser resident who was charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident that took the life of 48-year-old cyclist Paul Bally appeared in court Tuesday for a breach of his bail conditions. Timothy David Prad appeared by himself in Supreme Court for Breach of undertaking or recognizance dating from Jan. 18, 2015 for allegedly consuming alcohol. The breach had nothing to do with his other offence — he was charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm in connection to Bally’s death in Fanny Bay last December.

A boil water notice has been issued for the Cumberland water system due to a positive E. coli contamination sample result. This notice affects all users of the Cumberland water system. Tap water should be boiled for one minute. Use any clean pot or kettle. Kettles that have automatic shut offs are acceptable. The village is working with Island Health officials on further water system testing. The notice will not be terminated until samples conclude there is no further risk to health. Further sampling is ongoing.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 3934

(APPLICABLE TO ELECTORAL AREA H - NORTH OYSTER/DIAMOND) NOTICE is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held as follows to consider the above noted Amendment Bylaw: DATE: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 TIME: 7:00 pm PLACE: North Oyster Community Centre, Room 201, 13467 Cedar Road, Ladysmith, BC ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 3934 proposes to amend Electoral Area H – North Oyster/Diamond Zoning Bylaw No. 1020 by incorporating a new Section 946 – subdivision for a relative – regulation into the text of the Zoning Bylaw, with a new parcel area requirement of 25 hectares. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3934 would also repeal the stand-alone Subdivision for a Relative Bylaw No. 1741, because all electoral areas, in the event this Bylaw is adopted, would have the Section 946 regulation incorporated into each of their zoning bylaws. At the present time, Bylaw No. 1741 only applies in Electoral Area H. The purpose of Bylaw No. 3934 is to curtail the creation of parcels smaller than zoning regulations would require, in order to encourage orderly and predictable land development in accordance with the long-standing Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw. Section 946 is part of a Provincial Statute (Local Government Act - LGA) that in some limited circumstances permits a landowner to subdivide land despite a zoning regulation that would not permit the subdivision. The proposed subdivided lot must only be used and occupied by a defined relative of the owner for a period of five years following the subdivision. Subsection 946(4) of the LGA authorizes local governments to specify the area of land that must be present to enable an owner to use Section 946. If the owner has the minimum area specified in the local government’s Section 946(4) regulation, or larger, the resultant subdivided lot may be of any size deemed appropriate by the Provincial Approving Officer. A local government regulation under Section 946(4) does not apply to lands in the Provincial Agricultural Land Reserve. In the case of Bylaw No. 3934, the Cowichan Valley Regional District is proposing that the specified parent parcel size be 25 hectares in Electoral Area H - North Oyster/Diamond. This is the same standard utilized in Electoral Areas A, B, C, D, G and I. At the public hearing, all persons who deem their interests affected by the proposed amendments will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions on matters contained therein, before representatives of the Regional Board. Prior to the public hearing, submit written comments on the Bylaw by: Fax: 250-746-2621 Email: ds@cvrd.bc.ca Mail and/or deposit at the Regional District office, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC, V9L 1N8, until 4:30 pm on Wednesday, October 21, 2015. The public should not assume that correspondence submitted on the proposed Bylaw prior to commencement of the statutory notification period on Friday, October 9, 2015, will be made available to the Regional Board. Please be advised that the CVRD Board cannot receive correspondence or comment following the close of the Public Hearing. For further information, please call the Planning & Development Department at 250-746-2620.

Study finds dip in screening for STIs due to Pap smear protocols SHERYL UBELACKER THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Young women in Ontario are being screened for sexually transmitted infections far less often since updated guidelines reduced the frequency of Pap tests for cervical cancer, a study suggests. Researchers at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto found the guidelines, which were rewritten in 2012, reduced Pap smear rates by 60 per cent in the year after their introduction — and that led to a 50 per cent drop in gonorrhea and chlamydia testing among women

aged 15 to 24. Patients were also less likely to be screened for syphilis, hepatitis C and HIV. Prior to 2012, women were advised to start cervical cancer screening within three years of becoming sexually active, followed by annual testing. After three normal Pap test results, subsequent screening was recommended every two or three years until age 70. Because women aren’t visiting their doctors as often for Pap smears, that’s caused a drop in screening for STIs, she said Thursday, noting that chlamydia and gonorrhea are common among

young women and incidence of those infections is on the rise. The study, published Thursday in the journal Canadian Family Physician, tracked patient charts across five primary care sites at St. Michael’s Hospital in the year before the guidelines changed and in the year after. Researchers found rates of Pap smear testing among women in the study dropped from 42 per cent before the guideline change to 17 per cent after, and screening of gonorrhea and chlamydia decreased from 40 per cent to 20 per cent.

New book questions Rob Ford, Harper link COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A disturbing new account that claims ex-Toronto mayor Rob Ford threatened his wife is raising questions about Stephen Harper’s willingness to publicly embrace the support of the scandal-ridden, self-admitted drug user. Ford, who has said he wants to run for mayor in 2018, was front and centre of Harper at a rally earlier in the week and, along with his brother, plans to co-host a final election pro-Harper campaign bash on Saturday. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was quick to denounce Harper’s association with Ford, whose re-election bid last year was derailed by abdominal cancer. “Stephen Harper should be embarrassed that he’s having to count on the support of Rob Ford for his re-election,” Trudeau said in Montreal Thursday. “What bothers me most is the misogyny: The Ford brothers should have no place on a national campaign stage, much less hosting a prime minister at an event this weekend.” Harper, who has expressed strident anti-drug views including that marijuana is “infinitely worse” than tobacco, has simply said the Fords have been long time Conservative supporters and said he welcomes their support. Asked about it again on Thursday, the Conservative party leader referred only to the Fords as “those individuals” and said the Conservative party was putting on Saturday’s rally aimed at bringing together Canadians “who want to fight for an agenda of low taxes and balanced budgets.” The account of the ruckus between Ford and his wife Renata comes in the form of an excerpt from a new book written by the ex-mayor’s former chief of staff Mark Towhey. Ford, now a city councillor who appears to have cleaned up his act, refused to weigh in on Thursday. “I don’t comment on what people write or have written about me, and I wish them all the best,” Ford told The Canadian Press. The excerpt, published in Maclean’s magazine, paints an ugly picture of an

out-of-control man who, at the time, was yet to garner international infamy for his obscene drug and alcohol-fuelled rants and a video that showed him smoking what appeared to be crack cocaine. Ford, a father of two young children, and his brother Doug, however, would spend much of the following year in the throes of outward denial, castigating the media for spreading lies about his substance abuse and claiming he had never smoked crack. The published excerpt is Towhey’s account of a phone call he received early one morning in June 2012. On the other end, the book says, was a raging, agitated mayor who told Towhey he had been having an argument with his wife, whose speech is slurred and who can be heard by turns screaming and pleading with her husband. “Rob sounds like he’s out of control,” Towhey writes in the book, Mayor Rob Ford: Uncontrollable: How I Tried to Help the World’s Most Notorious Mayor. “Both of them spit a string of curses at one another. I can’t hear it all, but it doesn’t sound good.” Some of the language both the mayor and his wife use was deemed inappropriate for Maclean’s, which would not reprint it. For an hour and 40 minutes as he listens and tries to calm Ford down, according to the excerpt, Towhey agonizes over whether to dial 911 and have police intervene. “I swear to God I’m going to kill this woman, brother,” Towhey reports Ford as saying at one point. “She just took my gun upstairs.” At another point, it says their daughter Stephanie is woken by the commotion and Ford sends her back to bed. Renata Ford remained largely invisible throughout Ford’s scandal-plagued tenure, appearing once by his side in November 2013 when he apologized for an earlier rant in which he alluded to their marital sex life. She could not immediately be reached. Towhey referred requests for an interview to his publisher, who said there would be no immediate comment. The book is set for publication Nov. 10.

ELECTION 2015

Liberal scandal gives Tories, NDP hope to gain ground Campaign co-chairman quit this week over lobbying advice to oil pipeline company THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Dan Gagnier drag chute billowed out behind the Liberal campaign Thursday, giving Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair a badly needed chance to catch up to the apparent front-runner, Justin Trudeau. Trudeau, however, gave as good as he got — at least as far as the Conservative leader was concerned — by amping up the outrage over Rob and Doug Ford’s recent appearance on the Tory trail. Gagnier, the party’s campaign co-chairman, abruptly quit his volunteer post Wednesday after The Canadian Press disclosed details of an email in which he provides lobbying advice to an oil pipeline company. That gave Harper and Mulcair the perfect opportunity to take a swing at a long-standing Achilles heel for the Liberals: the sponsorship scandal. “They can try to put a fresh face on it, but behind the scenes it’s still the same old gang pulling the same old tricks,” said the NDP’s Mulcair, who — campaigning in Montreal, where he needs a reversal of fortune — could barely contain his glee. “You can’t trust the Liberals. It’s the same old Liberal party.” Trudeau, Mulcair noted, has been campaigning alongside former Liberal stalwarts Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, who presided over the party during the sponsorship scandal, in which firms won contracts based on donations to the Liberals with little work being done. Some of the cash was kicked back to Liberal operatives.

Error at polling station sees flag briefly yanked A Canadian flag was removed from a Manitoba advance polling station over the weekend because a worker felt it violated election rules. Elections Canada says a worker at a Virden polling station near the Saskatchewan boundary thought the red in the Canadian flag could be interpreted as support for the Liberals. Spokeswoman Marie-France Kenny says Elections Canada was contacted by a local worker who wanted clarification of the rules. Kenny says it was an “unfortunate misunderstanding” of the guidelines. The rules prohibit campaign literature or active campaigning near a polling station, but don’t prohibit specific colours. She says the flag was raised again.

September home sales decline from August

Harper, who was in Opposition at the height of the controversy, also seized on the chance to break out some of his greatest hits. “I think we should all understand that the culture of the Liberal party that gave us the sponsorship scandal has not changed and it will not change.” Gagnier stepped down after The Canadian Press revealed he emailed officials at TransCanada Corp., the company behind the Energy East pipeline, with advice on how and when to lobby a new government — including a Liberal minority.

For his part, Trudeau said Gagnier’s sudden departure demonstrates that the Liberals “take ethical standards and responsibilities extremely seriously.” The controversy has the potential to dramatically upend the narrative that had been taking shape during the campaign’s final week — especially in Quebec, where Energy East is a divisive issue. With just three full days of campaigning left, a barrage of lastminute advertising is also underway, as was apparent during the broadcast of Wednesday’s postseason game

between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers. One marketing company has calculated that the majority of attack ads that have run on Canadian television during the campaign have been Conservative spots targeting Trudeau. IPG Mediabrands says more than 9,800 political party ads ran on TV between Aug. 4 and Sept. 27, and one third of them were attack ads. Of those, a 65 per cent were Conservative ads aimed at Trudeau, while 15 per cent were Liberal ads attacking Harper and 11 per cent were NDP spots targeting Harper.

Canadian home sales in September were down from August as some of the country’s hottest real estate markets saw sales cool, but prices continued to show strength. The Canadian Real Estate Association said Thursday that home sales in September through its Multiple Listing Service were down 2.1 per cent compared with August. The drop came as the number of sales fell in more than half of the local markets tracked in September, led by declines in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Sales in Vancouver were down 3.8 per cent for the month, while Toronto slipped 3.5 per cent. Calgary dropped 7.5 per cent. BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri said the Canadian housing market is cooling somewhat. However, prices were “frothy” in the Vancouver and Toronto markets.

Cellphone buy leads to teen girl being attacked

COURTS

Maple Leaf Gardens sex predator doesn’t meet dangerous offender criteria, says psychiatrist DIANA MEHTA THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The man at the centre of the Maple Leaf Gardens sex abuse scandal does not meet the criteria for dangerous offender status, a court-ordered psychiatric assessment has found. The 38-page report on Gordon Stuckless was compiled by Dr. Mark Pearce, a forensic psychiatrist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. Pearce interviewed 66-year-old Stuckless and also studied his criminal records, transcripts from his

court case and his medical records. “From a purely psychiatric perspective, it is not clear that the statutory test for Dangerous Offender designation, as articulated in the Criminal Code, is met,” Pearce wrote in his report while acknowledging that the court could ultimately conclude otherwise. Stuckless pleaded guilty in 1997 for sex assaults on 24 boys while he was an usher at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens between 1969 and 1988. He was sentenced to two years less a day, but that was later increased to five years. He was paroled in

2001 after serving two-thirds of his sentence. In 2013, Stuckless was forced back into the spotlight when police announced fresh charges against him. He then pleaded guilty last year to 100 charges related to the sexual abuse of 18 boys decades ago. Stuckless was also found guilty last fall of two charges of gross indecency linked to two of the 18 victims. His case is currently in its sentencing phase. Crown lawyers in the case have indicated they intend to seek a dangerous offender designation for

Stuckless, which would allow an indefinite sentence. Stuckless’s lawyer has said the label is unwarranted, particularly since his client has abided by the law since his previous convictions and voluntarily undergoes chemical castration. In his report, Pearce found Stuckless suffers from “homosexual pedohebephilia” but does not have a major mental illness. The psychiatrist noted that Stuckless’ insight was judged to be very good and that he planned to continue in treatment for the foreseeable future.

Charges have been laid after a teenager in Regina was allegedly abducted and sexually assaulted while meeting with someone about purchasing a cellphone. Police say the 17-year-old girl made contact with a seller through social media and agreed to meet at a parking lot Tuesday evening to complete the transaction. They say a male suspect got into her car and threatened her with a knife before forcing her to give up her vehicle. He then drove outside the city where the teen was allegedly assaulted before she was placed in the trunk and driven back into the city early Wednesday morning. She escaped when the car stopped at a red light. Kohl Alexander Elder, a 19-year-old Regina man, has been arrested on charges that include attempted murder, sexual assault and kidnapping.

TERRORISM

New suspects found in Lockerbie bombing Scotland, U.S. ask Libyan authorities to help Scottish detectives and FBI officers interview two men in Tripoli JILL LAWLESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — A quarter-century after one of the worst terror attacks in British history, prosecutors say they have identified two new Libyan suspects in the bombing of a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, and want U.S. and Scottish investigators to interview them in Tripoli. Given Libya’s instability, that may be a remote prospect. Scotland’s Crown Office said Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had agreed there’s “a proper basis in law in Scotland and the United States to entitle Scottish and U.S. investigators to treat two Libyans as suspects” in the bombing of Flight 103. It said Scotland and the U.S. were asking Libyan authorities to help Scottish detectives and FBI officers interview the suspects. The office said the Libyans are suspected of involvement with Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted in the attack. A bomb shattered the New Yorkbound Boeing 747 as it flew over Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988, killing all 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground. Many of the victims were American

college students flying home for Christmas. The complex and unfinished Lockerbie investigation is tied up with Libya’s relationship with the West. In 1988, dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s Libya was a pariah state accused by

Western governments of sponsoring terrorism. In 1999, Gadhafi handed over al-Megrahi and a second suspect — later acquitted — to Scottish authorities after years of punishing UN sanctions. In 2003, Gadhafi

acknowledged responsibility, though not guilt, for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation of about $2.7 billion to the victims’ families. He also pledged to dismantle all weapons of mass destruction and joined the U.S.-led fight against terrorism. After Gadhafi was overthrown and killed in 2011, Britain asked Libya’s new rulers to help fully investigate. But the country has since been wracked by chaos and political violence, stalling efforts to collect evidence and interview suspects. The U.S. Department of Justice remains committed to pursuing justice for the bombing victims, 189 of whom were American, a department spokesman said. Prosecutors didn’t name the two Libyans, in keeping with British practice of not identifying suspects until they’re charged. British officials previously asked to interview Abdullah al-Senoussi, Gadhafi’s former spymaster, about the bombing. A long investigation by documentary filmmaker Ken Dornstein, whose brother died in the attack, identified another Libyan, Abu Agila Mas’ud, as the possible bomb-maker. He hasn’t been named by U.S. or

Scottish officials as a suspect. Both were imprisoned in Libya after the 2011 fall of Gadhafi, and al-Senoussi has been sentenced to death. The crimes they’ve been charged with in Libya are unrelated to the bombing. Dornstein said it’s heartening to know the Scottish and U.S. governments are pursing the bombing suspects, a task he acknowledged isn’t easy given the state of affairs in Libya. “I feel like I pushed it as far as I could as a filmmaker and now it’s up to governments to do the actual administration of justice,” Dornstein said. “I’d be really gratified to know that this project could potentially lead to the first new charges in the case in some 25 years.” Prosecutors believe Flight 103 was brought down by a bomb in a suitcase loaded onto a flight from Malta and then booked through to Pan Am 103 via Frankfurt. Al-Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence officer, was convicted in 2001 of planting the bomb and sentenced to 27 years in prison. But investigators have always believed others were involved, and critics question the reliability of the evidence used to convict him.

Court refuses to scuttle class-action suit of Innu

Study says little known on acidification and fish BOB WEBER THE CANADIAN PRESS

Two First Nations are seeking $900 million in compensation ROSS MAROWITS THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to end a class action lawsuit filed by two Innu communities against the Iron Ore Co. of Canada and the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway Co. The country’s highest court dismissed with costs their appeal of a Quebec Court of Appeal ruling. No reasons were provided Thursday as is customary when the court makes such a decision. The Innu First Nations of Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam (Uashaunnuat) and Matimekush-Lac John claim the IOC, which is majority owned by Rio Tinto, has violated their rights for nearly 60 years and are seeking $900 million in compensation. The Innu claim the mines and other facilities have ruined the environment, displaced members from their territory and prevented them from practising their traditional way of life. They also say a 578-kilometre railway between Schefferville and Sept-Iles has opened up their territory to “numerous other destructive development projects.” The allegations have not been proven in court. “Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is, in fact, a great victory for all First Nations in Canada that are seeking to force companies to respect their rights,” the chiefs of the communities said in a news release.

“Rio Tinto stubbornly and blindly continues down its rogue path rather than seeking to turn the page on this dishonourable period in its history.” Real McKenzie Matimekush-Lac John chief

Uashaunnuat Chief Mike McKenzie said the Supreme Court ruling means Rio Tinto and its subsidiaries will no longer be able to evade its lawsuit, which now reverts to the Quebec Superior Court for trial. “We are more determined than ever to see it through to the end and, sooner or later, the company will have to answer for what it has done, including its systematic violation of our rights since the 1950s,” he said. The chief said the Innu has tried since 2010 to find “an honourable solution” to their conflict. Several Innu chiefs attended Rio Tinto’s annual meeting in April and asked the mining giant’s CEO and board to intervene to end the dispute. “Rio Tinto stubbornly and blindly continues down its rogue path rather than seeking to turn the page on this dishonourable period in its history,” added Real McKenzie, chief of Matimekush-Lac John.

Rio Tinto said it accepts the court’s decision. “Obviously, Rio Tinto is committed to build and maintain solid relationships with the communities where we operate, including with the aboriginal communities,” said spokeswoman Claudine Gagnon. The Innu allege the companies have been running a large mining complex and railway on traditional territory in northeastern Quebec and Labrador for decades without prior consent. The operations are located in the communities of Schefferville, Labrador City and Sept-Iles. The Quebec Superior Court has rejected IOC’s claim that the Innu had to sue the government instead of the company. Rio Tinto owns a 58.7 per cent sake in Iron Ore Co. of Canada, followed by Mitsubishi with 26.2 per cent and Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp. at 15.1 per cent, which also receives a royalty on all IOC iron ore sales. The Innu communities have reached agreements with miners ArcelorMittal, Cliffs Natural Resources, Tata Steel, New Millennium Iron and Labrador Iron Mines that provide financial compensation for the mining activities. » We want to hear from you.

An increasingly acidic Pacific Ocean threatens valuable Canadian fisheries and little is known about how greenhouse gases will affect marine plants and animals, says an internal federal report. “Changes to the ocean’s carbon chemistry as a result of increased absorption of carbon dioxide are undisputed,” says the draft report delivered to the federal Fisheries and Oceans Department earlier this year. It was obtained by The Canadian Press under access-to-information legislation. “These changes are likely to have negative effects on marine ecosystems and organisms that contribute significantly to the economy and ecology of the Pacific Region . . . where ocean acidification and its biological effects remain largely unmonitored and unstudied.” The report was delivered earlier this year by the Pacific Ocean Working Group on Ocean Acidification, a group of federal and university scientists who came together to recommend ways to handle the emerging issue, which has already affected shellfish farms in British Columbia. It concludes that further inaction will make it impossible for managers to deal with changes in fisheries for everything from oysters to salmon. “Inaction on the part of (the Department of Fisheries and Oceans) may also lead to negative responses from industry, First Nations and the public, with the possibility of litigation.” Government figures place the 2010 value of the Pacific coast fishery, including farmed salmon, at more than $500 million. Ocean acidification occurs when the seas absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than normal. As the

level of the gas increases in the atmosphere, so does the sea’s acidity. Scientists estimate the surface of the open ocean is about 30 per cent more acidic than it was a century ago. Shellfish farmers already find it difficult to get young oysters to grow as seawater pH levels drop. The complex dynamics of how acidity of different coastal waters is affected by factors such as currents, river flows or seasonal variability aren’t well understood. Nor do scientists have a handle on the relationship between acidity and other ocean problems, such as low oxygen or harmful algae blooms. And the understanding of the impact of acidity on migration patterns and food webs has a long way to go, said Debby Ianson, a federal oceanographer who helped write the report. “There’s evidence to suggest concern,” she said. “We don’t really know what the impact is going to be.” In contrast to U.S. jurisdictions such as Washington and California, the federal government isn’t putting enough resources into research, Ianson said. “It’s hard to get funding for anything right now,” she said. “We simply don’t have enough money to do the things that really should be done.” Ianson said there are barely enough resources to piggyback seawater carbon measurements on regular research cruises.

“It’s hard to get funding for anything right now. We simply don’t have enough money to do the things that really should be done.”

REGINA — Saskatchewan has fixed an essential services law that the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional in a case with potential implications across the country. Labour Minister Don Morgan has introduced amendments to the province’s employment act which he says comply with the high court’s ruling affirming the right to strike as constitutionally protected. “We will have a piece of legislation, when it passes, that we believe will continue to provide safety and security for the citizens of the province. We also believe that it will provide a process to get a settlement where a union’s right to strike isn’t limited,” Morgan said Thursday at the legislature in Regina. In January, the Supreme Court struck

down the law that prevented some public-sector employees from striking. The court also gave Saskatchewan one year to enact new legislation and made clear that any new law had to be fair to workers. Under the old law, essential services were defined as a service to prevent a danger to life, health or safety, serious environmental damage, the destruction or serious deterioration of machinery, equipment or premises, and disruption of the courts. The amendments remove the definition altogether and allow the parties involved to determine what duties must be maintained. The changes also remove a controversial part of the old law which said that the government could choose who was an essential worker if the two sides couldn’t agree.

It is another setback for the president in his quest to extricate the U.S. from more than a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq. That goal was already tarnished by the return of U.S. forces to Iraq last year to help fight the Islamic State, a military mission Obama has said will likely outlast his presidency. Now, the winner of the 2016 presidential election will also become the third American commander in chief to oversee the Afghan war.

BACK TO

WORK Blue Jays, Royals set to collide in Game 1 of ALCS DAVE SKRETTA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays promise plenty of fireworks in their AL Championship Series, and not just because one team features power arms and the other power bats. The Royals and Blue Jays already have played a contentious set of games this season, including a matchup in Toronto marked by two bench-clearing incidents. And while both sides said during Thursday’s workouts that previous rancour has been forgotten, the emotionally charged atmosphere of playoff baseball means there could be some short fuses in the opener Friday night. “It’s over with. We’ve got to move forward,” insisted the Royals’ Edinson Volquez, who will start Game 1 and was arguably the biggest instigator when the teams met in August. It was Volquez whose inside pitching drew the ire of the Blue Jays, eventually leading to the first of

those bench-clearing moments. And after the game, he called Blue Jays star Josh Donaldson “a little baby” for complaining about his inside pitching. Asked whether he intends to pitch inside again Friday night, Volquez replied: “Of course.” Royals manager Ned Yost was one word more succinct: “Absolutely.” Even if it might mean more bad blood.

“I’m not a mind reader. I’m not a fortune teller. I don’t know if it’s going to be an issue,” Yost said. “But we’ll pitch inside aggressively. That’s a power-laden club over there. We’re going to formulate a really good game plan and try to go out and execute.” The Blue Jays, who start Marco Estrada in the opener, won three straight elimination games against Texas to reach their first AL Championship Series since 1993. The last of those games Wednesday was as tense as they come. After the Rangers took the lead on a fluke play, the Blue Jays stormed back thanks in part to three Texas errors. Donaldson’s blooper tied the game, and Jose Bautista capped the comeback with a long three-run homer, emphatically flipping his bat nearly as high in the air. Bautista’s reaction wasn’t taken well by the Rangers, who essentially called it bush league, and the entire affair touched off a wide-spread debate about decorum.

“You look at all professional sports in general, everybody celebrates more so than they used to,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “In our particular sport, if it’s happening for your team, your guy gets a big hit, nobody minds it. “If you’re on the other side, nobody likes it.” It’s not just what has gone on this post-season, or even in the regular season, that makes this ALCS matchup so juicy. It’s also the history the two franchises share. They met once before in the ALCS, with the Royals rallying from a 3-1 deficit in the first year of seven-game series. The last two wins came in Toronto, providing the Royals with so much momentum that they went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for their only World Series triumph. There was plenty of emotion in that series, too. “I think you just see so much drama at times because it’s the post-season,” Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.

“Obviously, that series in Toronto (earlier this year) was two competitive teams. I think that’s why we’re here right now, because it’s two teams that really take pride in doing things to protect their teammates, to show that the team has a better club.” The two best teams in the American League go about things in different ways. Much like that ’85 Royals team, this one is built upon pitching and defence — hard-throwing starters and relievers, and enough speed to track down just about anything that stays in their park. That was a big reason why they were able to down the Astros in their divisional series. “A big part of their success is they flag the ball down, because a lot of teams can’t, because the outfield is so big here,” said Gibbons, a former bench coach in Kansas City. “We’re built a little bit differently. I think a lot of it has to do with where we play.”

Barsby set to take on Windsor Dukes as season begins SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Athlete of the Week Carter Turnbull Sport: Hockey Achievements: Former Nanaimo Buccaneers star Carter Turnbull scored four goals in a B.C. Hockey League game Oct. 11 against the Wenatchee Wild, finishing the game with five points after adding an assist. Turnbull, a 17-year-old Nanaimo native, is second on the Powell River Kings in scoring with 10 points through 12 games during his rookie season.

After a four-game non-conference schedule that saw the John Barsby Bulldogs go 2-2 against some of the top high school football teams in the province, the games begin to count today. The Bulldogs, ranked as the No. 3 team in B.C. Varsity AA football, take on North Vancouver’s Windsor Dukes in Nanaimo today at 1:45 p.m. at Merle Logan field. “We’re turning a corner,” said Barsby head coach Rob Stevenson, “and we should be able to give ourselves a pretty good account of ourselves (today).” The Bulldogs and Dukes met last season in the Lower Mainland, with Barsby coming out on top 38-18. Windsor, however, surprised a lot of people last week beating Parksville’s Ballenas Whalers 33-20. “They’re very well coached, and they’ll sneak by you,” Stevenson said of the Dukes. “They’ve got five or six core guys who are amazing athletes, and they’ll hit you with anything. They’re as dangerous as anyone we’ve played yet.” The two-time defending provincial champion Bulldogs’ two non-conference losses came against the Mt. Douglas Rams and the G.W. Graham Grizzlies, the top-ranked teams in Varsity AAA and AA football, respectively. The Bulldogs also beat the Argyle Pipers, the only team to beat them in 2014, 7-6 on the road and beat the Vernon Panthers 25-0 on the road in the season-opener. It was as difficult a non-conference schedule as anyone in the province faced, and it was deliberately set out that way. “Absolutely it was,” Stevenson said. “You don’t want to go in there with a false image of yourself. If you go out and play the best, it shows you your warts,

“They’ve got five or six core guys who are amazing athletes, and they’ll hit you with anything. They’re as dangerous as anyone we’ve played yet.“ Rob Stevenson, head coach

and it gives you an idea of what’ you’ve got to fix. “So we’ve been cleaning things up, week by week and I think we’re getting to a place now where we’re going to play some pretty good football.” The Bulldogs were set to begin their regular season schedule last week, but the cross-town rival Nanaimo Islanders were forced to default due to injuries suffered in the first three weeks of the season. Stevenson said his team wanted to “win the week academically, in the weight room and in practice” because they didn’t get to play. So far, the Bulldogs have been run-heavy on offence, led by a pair of Grade11 runningbacks, Justis MacKay-Topley and Matt Cooley. “Every day, they come and get better,” Stevenson said. “They’re tenacious, they’re fast and unselfish, team guys who are a big part of what we do.” On another personnel note, the Bulldogs will also return third-year starter Parker Bowles, a senior middle linebacker who missed three games with a hand injury.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers scored four third-period goals, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Comox Valley Glacier Kings Thursday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Glacier Kings won the game 5-4, putting them in a tie with Nanaimo for second place in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s North Division. They went up 3-0 through two periods on goals from Brandon McReynolds, Ty Madden and Jordan Harding-Bautista, and stretched their lead to four goals

early in the third with another goal from Tyson Slater. However, Jayden Schubert, Trent Bell, Will McNamara and Nick Gomerich all scored in the third period for Nanaimo, but the Bucs couldn’t find the tying goal. Bucs goalie Alex Orth made 17 saves in the loss, while Comox goalie Braddock Otton won with 35 saves. The Bucs are next in action on the road Saturday night against the Oceanside Generals while the Glacier Kings are home Saturday night to the Campbell River Storm.

he next month of Kassidy Ruelle’s life is going to be one she may never forget, as she is set to roll through a three-city equestrian show-jumping tour. Ruelle, a Nanaimo resident and Grade 11 student at North Cowichan’s Queen Margaret’s School, leaves Tuesday to compete in some of the top shows in North America for junior riders. It’s a trip she’s been qualified to do before, but one that, financially, she is able to make happen this year. “It just kind of worked out that I qualified for everything this year,” said Ruelle, who last year won the championship in the B.C. Hunter Jumper Association. The month-long trip begins Oct. 20 when her and her coach, and mother Cheryl Keith, head to Calgary for The Royal West Jumping Tournament horse show.

“I think that it’s going to be a team effort and we have to work together to make it a success.“ Kassidy Ruelle, equestrian show-jumper

Then, it’s off to the Kentucky National Horse Show in Lexington, where she qualified in Washington state as one of the top five jumpers in the region to take part in the Maclay Finals — one of only a few Canadians to do so. The Maclay Finals are regarded as one of the top events in North America. Ruelle will show there on Oct. 31, and if she makes it past the first round she’ll be back the following day, when significant prize money is on the line. After leaving Kentucky, Ruelle will then head back north of the border, to Toronto, to compete at

The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. There, she will be competing in the Canadian Equestrian Team medal finals, as well as the Jump Canada medal final and the Junior Hunters and Hunter Derby competitions. It’s going to be a long month, and Ruelle said she’ll need to stay focused to be successful. “I think that it’s going to be a team effort and we have to work together to make it a success,” she said. “I have to be able to be focused and I think that we have such a strong partnership already, and it will be easy if we just both have the same focus.” At Queen Margaret’s, Keith is the school’s equestrian team head coach while Ruelle trains under her. It’s an interesting dynamic, having her mother as her coach, but one both of them work through. Kieth has been a trainer since she was 18, and has shown at events around the world, so it’s not hard to take her advice, Ruelle said.

“It’s tough at times, but it normally works itself out,” she said. “She’s an great help — I would not be where I am in the sport without her, that’s for sure.” While going on a three-city show tour is going to be her main focus, Ruelle will also need to keep up with what the rest of her peers are doing — schoolwork. She had to spend much of this week getting everything together in order to make it work. “I have to balance it,” said Ruelle, who will Skype with a math tutor twice a week throughout the trip. “I have to get all of my teachers to sign a form saying I’m allowed to go. Everything else, I kind of work through by myself. “I’ve gotten pretty used to doing it on my own.” Ruelle expects to return on Nov. 20. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

With PacWest basketball season fast approaching, the VIU Mariners are bringing in top competition today and tomorrow to prepare to defend their conference championship. The Mariners host the Eastern Oregon University Mountaineers tonight at 7 p.m., and tomorrow at noon, for a two-game exhibition set. The Mariners, who won the PacWest last season before finishing with a silver medal at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national championship tournament, have a lot of familiar faces returning. While American star forward Justin King left to play professionally in Australia and starting point guard Kadeem Stewart is no longer with the team, Chris Parker is back to run the offence as a point guard and local veterans Jason Fortin, Bryson Cox and Jerod Dorby also return. Fortin, a Dover Bay grad, is the only fifth-year senior on the roster, meaning once again the team won’t lose much to graduation, although early departures are always a possibility. The Mariners also added John Barsby grad Chris DeGoutiere to the roster, although he may sit out the year to preserve a season of PacWest eligibility. After doing so last year, Courtenay’s Morgan Proctor will get onto the floor this season for the first time, and his former teammate Nix Xylinas may also be in for playing time at guard. Joining Parker as the Mariners’ three allotted American imports will be six-foot-four forward Josh Ross, a third-year transfer from Poteau, Oklahoma and John Thompson, a six-foot third-year guard out of Tempe, Arizona. After this weekend’s games against EOU, the Mariners will continue to play American competition as they head to Washington state Oct. 23 for two games against Northwest University Eagles. PacWest play starts Oct. 30 when the Mariners play host to the Camosun Chargers.

Mariner volleyball teams play home-and-home VIU’s men’s and women’s volleyball teams begin their reasons today and tomorrow with a home-and-home series with the Chargers. Tonight’s games are in Victoria, while tomorrow the Mariners and Chargers women’s teams play at VIU at 5 p.m. followed by the men’s game at 7 p.m. Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

LOS ANGELES — Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets caught the Los Angeles Dodgers sleeping, using brains and brawn to advance to an NL Championship Series matchup with the Chicago Cubs. Murphy stole an uncovered third base and went on to score the tying run, then hit a go-ahead homer off Zack Greinke to lead the Mets over the Dodgers 3-2 Thursday night in the decisive Game 5 of their NL Division Series. “What a team win,” Murphy said. “It felt like everybody got a piece of this one.” After the final out, the Mets swarmed the mound, jumping up and down in unison. They quickly donned black T-shirts and exchanged hugs and high-fives while a small group of orange and blue-clad fans shouted, “Let’s go Mets!” Jacob deGrom allowed runners in his first five innings but just two runs — on RBI singles by Justin Turner and Andre Ethier that put the Dodgers ahead 2-1 in the first. New York trailed 2-1 in the fourth inning when, with three infielders on the right side and no one near third, Murphy strolled to second on Lucas Duda’s fourth-inning walk and sprinted to third.

he Canucks are a win away from their best start in franchise history, and their coach is lighting a fire under them. Brandon Sutter has been demoted to the top line, again. Talk about first-world problems. Meanwhile, Sven Baertschi is brushing off a boot to the keister, despite leading all forwards in shot-attempt differential. Baertschi was odd man out at Thursday’s practice, something that is expected to continue Friday against the St. Louis Blues. If you thought it was going to be easy for the young guys this season, you’ve clearly spent too much time watching Bo Horvat. The Canucks have one forward who has been on the ice for more shot attempts for than against. His last name is Baertschi. He’s the player who had two shots on net Tuesday in L.A, drew a penalty and ended up on the fourth line, switching spots with Brandon Prust of all people. “Life goes on,” was the response from the chilled Baertschi. “If I was 30-years-old, maybe it would be different. I’d be like ‘What’s going on here?’ “But I’m still young. The main thing is I have to stay calm and as soon as I get a chance again, I have to secure a spot.” None of this should be taken as a defence of Baertschi’s play. Although his advanced stats are interesting, it’s too early to draw conclusions. To the eye, he was good in Anaheim. He was not so good against the L.A. Kings. Overall, his performance, and

he knows this, has been mixed, unproductive points-wise and evidently not at a level deemed acceptable by head coach Willie Desjardins. The coach made that clear Thursday when he was as blunt, cold and quotable as he’s ever been. Generally, in a season, Desjardins gives the media fewer sound bites than baseball gives us controversial bat flips. But he dropped what can only be described as a “beauty” when asked about his handling of Baertschi and Jake Virtanen, the 19-year-old who played well and still got benched in his first NHL game. “It’s not the try league, as I’ve said, it’s the get-it-done league,” Desjardins said. To put that in perspective, as far as Desjardins quotes go, he could have pulled the Joey Bautista flip after this one and

walked out of the presser and we would have slow clapped him the whole way. But Desjardins continued: “You can’t do anything (and by that he presumably means you can’t hold young players’ hands). “We have to win games. If guys aren’t performing at that level, then we have to take them out.” Icy stuff from the coach, but he’s not wrong. If you’re looking to be carried in a Baby Bjorn while being entertained by tickle monsters you’re not going to get it in the NHL. These issues, however, are never black and white. In the past six months, the Canucks have made a substantial commitment to Baertschi in terms of the asset they gave up to get him and the top-six roster spot they quickly bestowed him. It’s on him to make them look smart. But it’s also on the coach to give him the opportunities he

needs to make this happen. Baertschi is an offensive player, a creative playmaker, who can’t just make a big hit to get noticed on a shift. His game is far more nuanced and his success is dependent on the players he’s with. He needs chemistry with his linemates and there will be times when he needs patience from his coach. If he’s playing with Radim Vrbata, say, he needs to figure where and how to get Vrbata the puck so the Canucks’ best goal scorer can, you know, score goals. Thugh that line, including centre Bo Horvat, has done some good things in four games, piled lots of shots, they just haven’t been dangerous. And when you’re 22 years old, that is enough to get you scratched even if the team has just won seven points of a possible eight. It’s not easy stuff for a coach to know when it’s carrot time and when it’s time to give the player the whip. It is complex, especially when you’re dealing with youth, Desjardins explained. “It’s hard for a young guy,” Desjardins said. “History is so important to me. “If you see guys do it and they do it over a period of time and they have one bad shift, well you’re not too worried about it. “But when it’s a young player, they have a bad (shift), it’s harder because there’s nothing to fall back on.” The follow-up question was a good one: When do they get a chance to make that history the coach is talking about? “It’s hard to,” Desjardins said. “You got the first part of the game to make it. He’s got to make it in that time.” JBotchford@theprovince.com Twitter.com/botchford

TORONTO — The Maple Leafs are winless in their first three games, and few sports fans in Toronto seem to notice. There’s lower expectations on the rebuilding Leafs, but the Blue Jays’ playoff success has overshadowed the start of the hockey season at the perfect time for coach Mike Babcock’s team. “You just slide around town and no one even knows you’re

alive,” Babcock said. The Leafs are going about their jobs in relative anonymity while Toronto and the rest of Canada bask in the glow of the Blue Jays’ first post-season appearance since 1993. The Leafs’ players are fans themselves, and about a dozen went to the decisive Game 5 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday when the Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers 6-3 in a roller-coaster thriller. Winger Joffrey Lupul, who

played for the Philadelphia Flyers when the Phillies won the World Series in 2008, called Wednesday’s game maybe the best sporting event he has ever attended. Friends from the U.S. texted him to ask about the crazy atmosphere inside Rogers Centre. Leafs players got caught up in it. “Just to attend was insane,” defenceman Morgan Rielly said. “I think that’s the only time that, me personally, I’ve ever jumped

around and hugged other fans and stuff like that.” Sitting in the first row of the second deck in left field, centres Nazem Kadri and Nick Spaling were a few feet away from catching the ball Jose Bautista hit for a three-run home run in the memorable seventh inning. “We would’ve been jumping over the railing maybe to catch it,” Spaling said. “That would’ve been a nice ball to catch, too. I missed it, blew my shot.”

Ben Watson, Saints hand Falcons first loss, 31-21 BRETT MARTEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Proud veterans Drew Brees and Ben Watson summoned their best performances of the season and restored a bit of swagger to the recently reeling Saints. Brees passed for 312 yards, Watson racked up a career-high 127 yards receiving to go with a fourth-down touchdown catch, and New Orleans handed the Atlanta Falcons their first loss of the season with a 31-21 win

on Thursday night. Desperate for a victory, the Saints (2-4) enjoyed big plays in all phases, a common occurrence when New Orleans hosts night games. Including the playoffs, the Saints have now won 19 of 21 games in the Superdome in prime time. Michael Mauti, who grew up near New Orleans after his father, Rich, played for the Saints, blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown, delighting the Superdome crowd with a play reminiscent of Steve

Gleasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous block against Atlanta in 2006. Mark Ingram ran for two short touchdowns, and New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence recovered three fumbles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two inside its own 20. Devonta Freeman rushed for 100 yards, including a 25-yard TD, for Atlanta (5-1). Matt Ryan passed for 295 yards and two TDs. Freeman also turned a short pass into a 13-yard touchdown, but by then it was too late for the Falcons. Freemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first touchdown cut New

Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 24-14 with 13:07 remaining, putting pressure on the Saints to answer. The Saints responded with the type of will-imposing drive that was commonplace during much of the decade since coach Sean Payton and Brees arrived in New Orleans, but seldom seen this season. New Orleans drove 80 yards in 11 plays, eating about five minutes off the clock. During the series, Watson tied a career high with his

10th catch of the game. Brees found Brandon Cooks for 26 yards on one third down. Ingram capped the drive by powering in for his second TD to make it 31-14. That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only example of the swagger restored to the Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence. Late in the third quarter, the Saints capped a 10-play, 63 yard drive by first drawing Atlanta offside on fourth-and-goal from the four, then kept the offence on the field and converted a 2-yard pass to Watson.

@NanaimoDaily

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to have an important talk in the morning, but news seems to point you in a different direction. Conversations will reveal a lot about the people around you. Encourage others to talk, and do your best to listen. Tonight: Use your imagination. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Oneon-one relating encourages a better response than you thought possible. You see what is happening around you. Perhaps a discussion is in order -- one that will help your creativity flourish. You will see ideas evolve. Tonight: Share with a loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, especially if you want them to pitch in and demonstrate their individual skills. There is no question that you know your stuff, but you need to let others share their knowledge, too. Tonight: Say “yes” to a close associate or loved one. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have a lot of ground to cover. You’ll be determined to get what you need done. Count on some interference in general. There also could be some confusion around a call and its underlying message. Consider yourself lucky if you can achieve your goals. Tonight: Be happy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You tell it like it is. Your creativity is likely to add some flourishes. Be careful, especially if you’re discussing a serious matter. Someone could misread the situation. A caring gesture

will keep the lid on a potentially volatile matter. Tonight: Act like it is Friday night! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Whether you realize it or not, you have a way of drawing others toward you. You are unusually appealing to many, but you could be stressed out. You simply can’t be in two places at once. Mentally anchor in on the present situation. Tonight: Head home only when you want to. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be keeping a personal matter to yourself. Your smile, however, might reveal that much more is going on with you. Keep conversations moving, as you have a lot to catch up on. If your mind starts to drift off, you might miss an important detail. Tonight: Out with the gang. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have what it takes to get to the next step. As a result, friends and loved ones will support a cause that is important to you. Still, be aware that you might be spending too much of your time or money in order to make an event occur. Tonight: Make it your treat! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll smile and feel your energy build. With the Moon cheering you on, you will achieve results that perhaps you have only dreamed of. Your choices will define your day, and others are likely to go along with you. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take your time, especially if you feel out of sorts. You can push yourself only so hard and expect good

results. If you can, call it an early day or make it a long weekend. You might hear news or sense something that you aren’t comfortable with. Tonight: Play it low-key. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are a sign of friendship, and today you’ll express that character trait even more than usual. A meeting surrounds you with special people in your life, even though you don’t often have time to express your feelings. Tonight: Where the action is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take charge and know what you want to accomplish. Others are likely to seek you out, and as a result, you might have difficulty finishing a project. Don’t hesitate to screen your calls, if need be. Understand what is happening around you. Tonight: A must show. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Oct. 16) This year you express a very upbeat point of view. You also share many ideas that, until now, you have kept to yourself. Others seek you out to share concepts and get feedback. Your imagination tosses many ideas into the mix. If you are single, others often try to package themselves to be most appealing to you. Be sure that you know and like the person under the surface before you go too far into a relationship. If you are attached, the two of you often bounce ideas off each other. You tend to energize each other as well. SAGITTARIUS knows how to negotiate.

We are sad to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our beautiful mom Eleanor. Survived by younger brother Allan (Sandy); daughters Barb (Wilf) and Terri (Brian); granddaughters Lauren and Kelsey and great-granddaughter Makenna. She is predeceased by her mom Elsie Gibbling, father Captain Bob Walker, sister Roberta, and brother Chappy (Earl). Mom was the kind of person everyone liked to be around. She worked full time as a meat wrapper for Super Value in Courtenay for many years. She loved cooking and baking, sewing, crocheting and knitting. She made the best cinnamon buns and homemade cookies. She was the lead singer in a local band The Trend Styles for many years and even played new yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parties at the Crystal Gardens in Victoria. She truly had a beautiful voice and was often compared to Brenda Lee. She played guitar, taught Sunday school, and on top of all that, raised two daughters on her own. At 35, Mom was diagnosed with multiple schlerosis which did not slow her down at all. She continued her career as a caregiver for many years. Eleanor lived at Kiwanis Village for more than 10 years, first in the assisted living and then over to the Lodge as she finally ended up full time in a wheelchair from the MS. She was still always positive, had her sense of humour and a smile and compliment for everyone everyday, she loved living at Kiwanis and cherished all the friends she met. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and caregivers at Kiwanis. Mom thought of you all as family. Thank you for making her time there special and making her feel at home. We wilI all miss her. We love you Mom. A tea will be held in her honor at Kiwanis House in Nanaimo, at the Fireside Restaurant October 21, 2015 from 1:00 to 3:00. Please join us to share stories, memories, hugs and smiles. Address is 1233 Kiwanis Crescent, Nanaimo BC.

Carroll confused why Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turnovers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leading to wins CURTIS CRABTREE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pete Carroll has regularly stressed the importance of winning the turnover battle as a key indicator of a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the ballâ&#x20AC;? has been a frequently heard phrase throughout the headquarters of the Seattle Seahawks since Carroll took over the franchise in 2010, an effort to stress to players the need to keep the ball on offence and take it away on defence. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes the first five games of the 2015 season so baffling for the Seahawks coach. Seattle has lost two games while winning the turnover battle and won a game while losing the turnover battle so far this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an oddity that Carroll canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite wrap his head around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it,â&#x20AC;? Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to me. Usually, when you control the football, you win. Our stats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supporting that for the first time in 14 years, you know? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really odd, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay the same. It should turn. All of the principles and the odds of that just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the right direction right now.â&#x20AC;? Seattle won the turnover battle 3-1 against the St. Louis Rams in the season opener and lost 34-31 in overtime. The Seahawks won the turnover battle 2-1 last week in Cincinnati and lost 27-24 in overtime. They also beat the

Detroit Lions in Week 4 despite losing the turnover battle 3-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t register that,â&#x20AC;? Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in my brain. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that. Years and years and years, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit. All I think of is thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to flip-flop the very next chance we go out, and it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet.â&#x20AC;? The numbers this season back up Carrollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts as well. The Indianapolis Colts are the only team in the league to hold a winning record despite a negative turnover differential. Sixteen teams have a negative

turnover differential and are a combined 23-55. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very odd,â&#x20AC;? wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you look at the statistics across the NFL, it usually doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen that way.â&#x20AC;? Fourteen teams have a positive turnover differential for the season and are a combined 50-16. Each game played is a separate event with separate variables that lead to different results, but on a large scale itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear how important turnover margin is to success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually in the past, when we

win the turnover ratio we always win,â&#x20AC;? safety Earl Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new season. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll figure it out.â&#x20AC;? Carrollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory should be put to test again this week as the Carolina Panthers come to Seattle. The Panthers lead the league in turnover differential. Their plus-8 turnover margin is two turnovers clear of the rest of the league and cornerback Josh Norman is tied for the league lead with four interceptions. Keeping control of the football will be a premium for Seattle on Sunday.

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An unprecedented leap in sweeping technology threatens to dramatically change the sport of curling. While they wait for their sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governing bodies to catch up and impose new rules, some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top curling teams say they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use broomheads that can actually slow down, and change the direction of, a rock in motion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awkward position to take for the teams who are sponsored by the very equipment manufacturers who produce the controversial brushes. But Olympic gold medallists Brad Jacobs and Brad Gushue and former world champion Glenn Howard are among 22 domestic and international teams who signed a statement stating they will not sweep with brooms that have â&#x20AC;&#x153;directional fabric.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having a rock with a steering wheel on it.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Gerry Peckham, Curling Canada

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where do you draw the line?â&#x20AC;? Jacobs asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided as a group of players to draw the line right now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the integrity of the game and the hard work of teams.â&#x20AC;? When a new gadget fundamentally alters a sport, the powers that be often step in and declare it illegal in competition. Curlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teams arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waiting for the World Curling Federation or Curling Canada and are policing themselves. They hope other teams follow suit. The curler throwing the rock aims for the skipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broom with the knowledge the stone will

curl as it approaches the house. Powerful sweepers can â&#x20AC;&#x153;holdâ&#x20AC;? the stone and delay its curl or â&#x20AC;&#x153;dragâ&#x20AC;? it extra distance into the house, but throwing accuracy and the skipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line calling are still paramount in the game. New brushes hitting the market recently changed all that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a type of fabric that allows you to virtually steer the rock,â&#x20AC;? Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;joystick.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I can now joystick right, left, forward, back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up until 18 months ago, it was 80 per cent shooter, 20 per cent sweeping and now in the last year and a half, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become 20 per cent shooting and 80 per cent sweeping. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not acceptable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rule against it right now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cheating. It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right.â&#x20AC;? Coarse material on the broom-

heads creates a sandpaper effect on the ice. Jacobs describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;flatteningâ&#x20AC;? while others have described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;scoringâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;scratchingâ&#x20AC;? the ice. The bottom line is sweepers use the brushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on the ice to manipulate the rock in ways they never could before. As in any sport, if others are doing it and winning, you will do it too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see it, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no second-guessing that something fairly dramatic or fairly extreme is occurring that in the right hands can cause a rock to curl much more than it would have normally, or to curl much less than it would have normally,â&#x20AC;? explained Curling Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-performance director Gerry Peckham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having a rock with a steering wheel on it and you can pretty much get it to go where you want to or influence it substantially.â&#x20AC;?

BRIDGE OF SPIES Tom Hanks stars as a lawyer on a critical mission to Berlin in a tension-filled story based on true events. [AP PHOTO]

Cold War drama an absorbing slow burn Bridge of Spies STARRING: Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Austin Stowell, Will Rogers Director: Steven Spielberg PLAYING AT: Galaxy Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 142 minutes

LINDSEY BAHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

teven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, much like its misunderstood litigator, is a film that plays the long game. This complex Cold War drama soaked in shadows, blues, greys and furrowed brows, is a slow burn that challenges the audience to trust where it’s going. In this fictional rendering of how a Brooklyn insurance lawyer ended up negotiating a highstakes prisoner exchange at the height of the Cold War, Spielberg and writers Matt Charman and Joel and Ethan Coen toss details at you, shake them all around and piece them back together in the third act, when the form of the puzzle starts to take shape. Only then can you

‘Bridge of Spies’ echoes in your mind long after the credits roll begin to fully appreciate just how lean and purposeful every moment is. Suddenly that seemingly random conversation about clients and incidents from the first act isn’t an outlier after all — it means everything. As a first time viewing experience, it’s like not realizing you’ve been playing a game of chess until you’ve already lost. That’s all to say that Bridge of Spies, which waxes poetic — and occasionally cynically — on patriotism, honour, and duty, echoes in your mind long after the credits roll and begs for a second viewing.

On the page, Bridge of Spies is the story of everyman James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks), a lawyer and family man who takes on the thankless task of representing Soviet Agent Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) in a trial, only to then be called on to negotiate his exchange for a detained U.S. soldier on behalf of the CIA. But that’s just scratching the surface of this very thoughtful meditation on doing the right thing — embodied in the burgeoning friendship between Abel and Donovan. Donovan fights for Abel despite the scorn of the public, the indifference of the legal system and the danger to his family. When he goes to Berlin to negotiate the exchange of Abel for a detained U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell), Donovan decides, against the wishes of the U.S., to try to tack on the release of another imprisoned American as well. This all makes Donovan sound like a martyr. The film fights against that cozy idea, though. Donovan is not sentimentalized or propped up in an unbelievable way. In Hanks’ hands, Donovan is a real person, runny nose, doubts and all. Reality, tedium and wit supersede the hyperbole of the great man myth. In this way, it makes Bridge of Spies feel like a spiritual companion to Lincoln.

Perhaps most unexpected, though, is how Rylance sneaks up on you and proves himself to be the heart, soul, and standout of the film. The Shakespearean actor is actually the first person we meet, in an elegant, nearly dialogue-free opening showing the FBI’s real time pursuit and arrest of Abel. Cold War-era fears want to paint him as the face of the enemy, but Rylance makes Abel sympathetic, and even docile. He plays him as a highly intelligent foot soldier who’s seen enough to know that even possible execution isn’t enough to get worked up over. It’s impossible not to like him. But the story’s focus on Abel is juxtaposed with near indifference to Francis Gary Powers and the detained American student Frederic Pryor (Will Rogers). Donovan wants to get them both out, and is confident enough in his negotiating skills to defy the CIA in the process, but the film doesn’t seem to care if you care about them — at least not in the way it does for Abel. It’s in these unexpected details and choices that Spielberg continues to defy our skeptical movie expectations. He has a point of view, he has a plan, and he remains in a class of his own in his ability to both execute those ambitions and entertain in the process.

‘Crimson Peak’ a lavish Gothic visual feast Walls ooze red clay, the house creaks and moans and breathes thanks to a gaping hole in the foyer ceiling Crimson Peak STARRING: Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain DIRECTOR: Guillermo del Toro PLAYING AT: Galaxy Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes

LINDSEY BAHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Fear is written in the walls of Crimson Peak’s crumbling haunted mansion. Literally. Director Guillermo del Toro had his production and design teams fashion the word into the cracks and crevasses of the woodwork and furniture throughout the massive, three-story manor, which they built from the ground up specifically for the gothic thriller. It’s not that del Toro thinks that spelling out the word fear will make the experience of watching the film any scarier. In fact he doesn’t even believe in subliminal messages at all. (Ghosts, mind you, are another story.) But it is one among dozens of hidden in plain sight treats and thematically relevant motifs woven into the visuals of the painstakingly designed film about a young American novelist, Edith (Mia Wasikowska) who comes to live in the eerie estate of her new husband, Thomas (Tom Hiddleston) and his sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain), in 1901. The director, who has created fantastically dark worlds in films like Pan’s Labyrinth, wanted Crimson Peak, out Friday, to feel as grand as an old Hollywood production. Building a three-story house with a functioning elevator, running water,

and working fireplaces isn’t a bad place to start, but beauty alone is trite. Everything needed to serve the story — even details that might not be obvious to the casual viewer. To ensure everyone was on the same page, Del Toro asked his wardrobe and production design teams to read and study the character biographies he’d crafted for his three leads. “The second mandate was that everything in the movie, no matter how whimsical, needed to be rooted in reality,” said del Toro in a recent interview. “I asked them to always have a photograph or a reference of the period to back up any choice.” While there are other locations, Allerdale Hall is the wheezing, bleed-

ing centerpiece of Crimson Peak, where the untold horrors of the past converge in all their decadent glory. Truly, the walls ooze red clay and the house creaks and moans and breathes, thanks to a gaping hole in the foyer ceiling. “I wanted to make it feel like a character. I wanted to create it from scratch. That’s why the movie took eight years to make. Everybody wanted it to be smaller or PG-13 and I didn’t agree on either of those,” said del Toro. (The bloody film ended up securing an R-rating). Members of the key artistic team, including production designer Tom Sanders, costume designer Kate Hawley, and supervising art director Brandt Gordon, were given an almost

luxurious amount of time to prep before pre-production began. “In contemporary cinema, there is often a mandate to try to keep things as economical as possible and to try to keep prep as short as possible. This was totally different,” said Gordon. He calls the four months in Toronto their “pre-conceptual production phase.” It was all about ideas, and Del Toro was there daily to discuss everything while Sanders built models. Once pre-production was underway, they spent about 14 weeks building the house before their February shoot date. For the crew, that meant having 10 completely distinct sets ready to go at the same time, which proved to be quite a challenge.

“All of the architectural elements were handmade — all of the mouldings, all of the sculpted details and bannisters and fireplaces,” said Gordon. The ornate, billowy Victorian costumes were also all completely handmade. Hawley sourced fabrics and manipulated them, with over-dying and pleating. “We chose our decorative details very carefully. We developed them ourselves. We didn’t just go in and put Victorian lace on everything,” she said. The costumes even have their own little warning signs. Lucille’s wardrobe in particular is meant to almost camouflage her in Allerdale Hall. The heaviness of her frocks and wig also helped the delicate Chastain sink further into a character who is deeply tied to her home. “Edith wears a belt with a hand clasp. That’s taken from the idea of a Victorian mourning jewelry,” said Hawley. It won’t take a dozen viewings to notice that Lucille and Thomas’s wardrobe has the same colour palette as the house, but look a little closer and you might spot some of the same patterns on Lucille’s dress used in trimmings. In the woodwork, you may see human shapes. And the windows? Yes, they’re meant to look like eyes. At one point, Lucille tells Edith she’s like a fragile butterfly. Del Toro laughed that someone could play a pretty good drinking game trying to spot all the butterflies in the wallpaper alone. So where is the intricately designed haunted mansion now? “Sadly they destroyed it shortly thereafter,” said del Toro.

Blanchett, Redford enliven journalism drama Truth STARRING: Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Stacy Keach DIRECTOR: James Vanderbilt RUNNING TIME: 121 minutes

JOCELYN NOVECK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s a scene in Truth, James Vanderbilt’s crisp, absorbing new film about the doomed 2004 CBS story on then-president George W. Bush and his National Guard service, where execs are doing something utterly mundane. They’re looking at a calendar, scheduling a broadcast. Between sports and fluffy specials, there aren’t many dates available for the potentially explosive 60 Minutes II story. Unless, someone asks, it could be ready to air in just a few

BLANCHETTE

days? Producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett, at her jittery, high-octane best), agrees, knowing how tough that’ll be, but up to the challenge. And we all shudder, because we know what happened. Maybe, if there had been more time for reporting, things would have been different? Later, there’s a moment when a decision must be made within

seconds, literally, about where to make a crucial cut. Again, we watch it happen, and we suck in our breath. Movies about the craft of journalism — how the sausage gets made — aren’t always nail-biters. Credit goes to Vanderbilt (who also penned the script) and his cast —Blanchett, Robert Redford, and Stacy Keach especially — for making a cracklingly entertaining newsroom film about an endlessly thorny story, to say the least. Not that everyone will find Truth perfect, or close. The film is based on one point of view: that of Mapes, who lost her job in the fallout and on whose own book the script is based. CBS does not fare well here. But Vanderbilt seems less interested in finding an ultimate answer — Mapes still maintains the story was accurate — than in the process of how these waters got so muddied. With the exception of Dan Rather, who

anchored the fateful story, apologized for it and stepped down soon after, his characters are nearly all flawed. And with the exception of one eleventh-hour speech highly critical of Viacom, CBS’s parent company, the film largely avoids temptation to be too preachy. We meet Mapes at the pinnacle of her career, acclaimed for reports like one on the abuse at Abu Ghraib. One day, a tip lands in her inbox. She assembles a crack research team to probe just how Bush got into the Texas National Guard in the first place — which kept him from Vietnam duty — and then whether he fulfilled the terms of his service. Mapes’ report hinges in part on documents that would have come from an early 1970’s typewriter. The morning after the report, pride and congratulations are in the air. It doesn’t last. CBS is hit with claims that the memos were faked.

Questions are raised about fonts and superscript. Mapes and her crew race to defend their reporting. As everything spirals out of control, Mapes tries to point out that “the documents were a small part. They weren’t the whole story.” But nobody wants to hear that. The acting is uniformly excellent. Most interesting is Redford. Without attempting to imitate, he captures Rather’s drawl and good-natured derring-do. It’s a hugely appealing performance, but whether the role itself is accurately drawn might be another question. In the end, the film is a fascinating look at investigative broadcast journalism and how it intersected with election-year politics in one relentlessly slippery case. “Questions help reporters get to the truth,” Mapes tells her young son. At least in this case, the film seems to be saying, the very definition of “truth” is elusive.

McIlroy happy even before he saw the course; Kirk still beaming Winner of the Frys.com Open gets a spot in the Masters, points in FedEx Cup race DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA, Calif. — The Frys.com Open is everything Rory McIlroy thought it would be. And the tournament hasn’t even started. He knew nothing about Silverado Resort, which is hosting the PGA Tour season opener for the second year and is expected to stay here even longer, except that it was located in the middle California’s most famous wine country. “Expected vineyards, wine, good food,” McIlroy said Wednesday. “Got all those boxes ticked last night.” McIlroy, who for now is No. 3 in the world ranking, represents the biggest star power at this event since Tiger Woods began what amounted to a rehab assignment in 2011, and his week ended with a fan throwing a hot dog on the green he was playing. McIlroy was part of the “Turkey Eight” that signed off on a one-sided deal three years ago — eight PGA Tour players in an exhibition in Turkey agreed they would play the Frys. com Open at least once over the next three years. Woods was supposed to be at Silverado this year, too, until he had his second back surgery. Also in the field from Turkey are Charl Schwartzel, Justin Rose and Webb Simpson. Hunter Mahan also is playing. He was in Turkey, but he fulfilled his commitment last year, liked it so much that he came back. It’s all about location. Here’s how the first tournament of the new season is shaping up: SEASONS BLUR: When the new seasons gets started Thursday morning, it will have been 18 days since

the last season ended with Jordan Spieth becoming the first $22 million man in golf ($10 million of that from winning the FedEx Cup). For all the angst over golf not having an off-season, only the starting line has changed. The PGA Tour has 47 events that occupy 43 weeks of the year. Ten years ago, it had 48 events that occupied 44 weeks on the calendar. And one thing hasn’t changed. The off-season is as long as a player wants it to be. Chris Kirk played three FedEx Cup playoff events, had two weeks off, went to South Korea for the Presidents Cup and is teeing it up at Silverado. Phil Mickelson played three FedEx Cup playoff events, had two weeks off, went to South Korea, and golf won’t see him again until January in California. RORY’S SCHEDULE: See if you can follow along. McIlroy feels as though his “new

season” started in August when he returned from two months of healing his injured ankle. He is playing the Frys.com Open, which is the first event of the new PGA Tour season. And then he heads to Asia for three tournaments to end the season on the European Tour. And then he gets two months off. “I feel like I’m in the middle of a nice little run to the end of the year,” McIlroy said. “I guess for a lot of guys, even the guys that played a full PGA Tour schedule last season and then played the Presidents Cup and they’re coming here, it’s a lot of golf. But as I said, I haven’t played as much as those guys, so I’m happy to be playing and happy to play quite a bit until the end of the year.” STRONG FIELD: For a time of the year when the “stars” were going to be taking time off, the Frys. com Open has six of the top 30 in the world. McIlroy and Rose are at

Silverado as a part of the Turkey agreement. But that doesn’t account for Brooks Koepka, Hideki Matsuyama, Robert Streb and Brandt Snedeker. This is the third straight year that the Frys.com Open has started the PGA Tour’s new wraparound season. The previous two winners, Jimmy Walker and Sang-moon Bae, both reached the Tour Championship. AT STAKE: The winner of the Frys.com Open gets a spot in the Masters and the same number of FedEx Cup points as winning the Memorial or Arnold Palmer Invitational. But he won’t be getting any Ryder Cup points. The illustrious Ryder Cup Task Force decided to count PGA Tour events toward the U.S. standings at the start of 2016 (Kapalua) instead of the start of the season. BIG DAY: McIlroy already has had a good time in Napa based on the wine and the food (and yes, he likes the golf course). So has Justin Thomas. The secondyear player played the pro-am with a couple real Warriors — Steph Curry and Andre Iguodala. CHAMPION KIRK: A tradition that never gets old on the PGA Tour is celebrating the previous week’s winner. Chris Kirk knows the feeling. Kirk wound up making the most significant putt in the Presidents Cup, a 15-footer down the hill on the 18th hole for a 1-up victory over Anirban Lahiri. Kirk was stopped four times on his way from the range as players congratulated him on a great week. Kirk said his biggest weakness all week in South Korea was putting.

Seahawks fullback gets arrested for hit-and-run The Seattle Seahawks suspended Derrick Coleman on Thursday after police arrested him in a hit-and-run investigation, but his lawyer insisted that if the fullback left the scene at all it was only because he was dazed. Coleman was booked into King County Jail in Seattle early Thursday and denied bail until his first court appearance, which was expected Friday afternoon. Bellevue officers said they arrested him because he left the scene of the two-car accident Wednesday evening. Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett said finding out why Coleman left will be a focus of their investigation. “Regardless of the reason why, he has a duty to remain at the scene and provide certain information and render aid if he’s able to,” Mylett said. Coleman’s agents said in a statement “it seems Derrick may have fallen asleep while driving home from a Seahawks’ facility.”

LeBron James could sit out rest of pre-season Cavaliers coach David Blatt said Thursday that LeBron James might not play for the remainder of Cleveland’s exhibition season. James sat out his second straight game against Indiana after not playing Tuesday against Atlanta. The four-time MVP is healthy, but the Cavaliers want to limit his minutes in the preseason. James has played in two of the five preseason games. “We’re really happy with how LeBron came into camp. Came in great shape,” Blatt said. “We want to take good care of him for the start of the season. As you know in his great and storied career, he has amassed a lot of miles. We’re trying to keep those preseason miles to a minimum.”

SHANGHAI — Novak Djokovic has been winning with relative ease over the past week and a half in China and yet he still doesn’t think his game is perfect.

His opponents might like to disagree. Djokovic defeated 15th-seeded Feliciano Lopez 6-2, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters on Thursday, extending his winning streak to 14 straight matches dating back to his title run at the U.S. Open.

thing very obvious.” On a day when 14 of the world’s top 17 players were playing, Andy Murray saved all seven break points he faced and held on to beat big-serving John Isner 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4; Rafael Nadal defeated Canada’s Milos Raonic 6-3, 7-6 (3); and Stan Wawrinka topped Marin Cilic 7-5, 6-7 (7), 6-4. Sixth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan, meanwhile, was upset by South Africa’s Kevin Anderson 7-6 (10), 7-6 (3). Lopez, who lost to Djokovic in the quarterfinals of last month’s U.S. Open, tried to disrupt the Serbian star’s rhythm by serving and volleying and using a variety of drop shots, sliced backhands and sharp angles. Djokovic, however, played a superb defensive game and continually scrambled after Lopez’s shots for winners.

He said he felt the hamstring grab while he was rounding second, and manager Joe Maddon said the rookie had a moderate strain. “Addy right now will not participate in this next round,” Maddon said Thursday. “We’re not going to utilize him. Continue to work on him. Hopefully if everything plays properly and we have another opportunity to play in another round he might be available at that time, but for sure not this one.” Maddon said they haven’t made a decision on Russell’s replacement for the NLCS roster, which must be submitted by Saturday morning.

France going for upset against All Blacks

Chelsea coach slams FA over stadium ban

JEROME PUGMIRE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWPORT, Wales — If one team has the ability to trigger doubt in the minds of the All Blacks players, it’s France. The French have defied the odds twice before against New Zealand at Rugby World Cups, and came close to doing so a third time in the final four years ago in Auckland. They get another chance on Saturday in a quarterfinal showdown in Cardiff — the same stage and venue as the historic upset in 2007. But the feeling in coach Philippe Saint-Andre’s squad is that the players have been letting themselves down. Not through a lack of commitment, but for approaching the game too conservatively. “If we want to beat New Zealand we have to play the French way,” SaintAndre said. That means his players must lose their inhibitions and show a lot more daring against the defending champions. “If there’s not a rebellion in this match, we have to change sports,” he said. “We have to play with folly and intelligence to unsettle this New Zealand side.” Easier said than done, considering only three teams have had a win over New Zealand since the 2011 World Cup — and France is not among them.

But if France does finally shed the shackles imposed by Saint-Andre’s robust and pragmatic style of play, the stage could be set for a Millennium Stadium thriller. Even more so given France’s tendency to raise its game against New Zealand when World Cups enter the knockout stages. Four years ago, France bounced

back from a chaotic pool stage marred by player unrest to reach the final — narrowly losing 8-7. In their 2007 quarterfinal clash, New Zealand led comfortably at halftime — also at the Millennium Stadium — only to lose 20-18. In 1999, France trailed 24-10 in the semifinals, but rallied superbly to win 43-31 in what was for a

long time the greatest World Cup comeback. “They’ve always been favourites, but they haven’t always won,” France flanker Yannick Nyanga said. “I’m not sure if we’re a great team, but we have a lot of desire.” In a bid to rekindle flagging French passion, France great Serge Blanco made his entry into the team’s media session on Thursday. The 57-year-old Blanco, whose electrifying runs made him one of world rugby’s finest fullbacks, scored the winning try when France stunned Australia 30-24 in the World Cup semifinals in 1987. “Right now France is the little guy at the bottom of Everest,” he said, speaking to reporters in a crammed room, his face beaming. “Everest is very, very high. The little guy starts to climb Everest and when he reaches the top he wants to enjoy the view. I hope that the view on Saturday is a magnificent one,” Blanco continued. “We want to tread the path that no one thinks we can. We like it, it’s a challenge.” Still, France has slipped well behind the attack-minded standards that once defined the national team. “Their game was built around flair in the backs and real physicality up front,” New Zealand coach Steve Hansen said. “I’m not sure it’s the same flair that they’ve got now . . . they’re trying to recapture (it).”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has criticized the English Football Association after he was fined over comments made towards match officials. Mourinho used his book launch on Thursday to respond to the FA’s decision on Wednesday to hand him a $77,400 fine and a suspended onematch stadium ban. He claimed that officials were “afraid” to award his side a penalty following a 3-1 home defeat to Southampton in the Premier League at the start of October. “50,000 (pounds) is a disgrace. The possibility of getting a stadium ban is astonishing,” Mourinho said at his book signing. The Blues boss was aggrieved after referee Robert Madley refused to point to the spot following a challenge by Saints goalkeeper Martin Stekelenburg on striker Radamel Falcao in the penalty area. “He was afraid to give it like everyone else is afraid to give it,” Mourinho said in a post-match interview. Defending champion Chelsea has endured a difficult start to the season, losing four of its opening eight matches and languishing in 16th place.

ith Halloween just around the corner, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably being inundated with monsters, gore and everything else typical of the horror genre. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect season to get into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scream Queens,â&#x20AC;? the latest series from the creators of prime-time juggernauts â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Horror Story.â&#x20AC;? Despite blood and murder aplenty, the horror-comedy anthology lightens things up by combining terror and violent slayings with humour in an overthe-top parody of the genre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while serving up a mystery to boot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scream Queensâ&#x20AC;? premiered last month and a new episode airs Tuesday, Oct. 20, on Fox and Citytv. The series opens with a Kappa Kappa Tau sorority party in 1995. In an â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Know I Was Pregnantâ&#x20AC;? situation, one of the sisters is discovered in the tub, covered in blood, with her new baby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was the freshman 15,â&#x20AC;? she wails. Her callous sisters abandon her to go dance to TLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waterfalls,â&#x20AC;? and she succumbs to blood loss. Tragic. Twenty years later, Wallace Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kappa Kappa Tau is still going strong, and is currently lorded over by the rich, beautiful and impeccably dressed Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the Millers,â&#x20AC;? 2013), a.k.a. Chanel No. 1, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every bit as nasty and heartless as her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s predecessors. To her horror and disgust, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new dean, Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halloween,â&#x20AC;? 1978), is declaring the highly exclusive sorority open to the unwashed masses. As if that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad enough, on the 20th anniversary of the 1995 death, terrible things start to happen again. A devil-masked killer is targeting Kappa Kappa Tau, and the bodies start to pile up not long into the first episode. The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feel is a blend of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Screamâ&#x20AC;?

(1996) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mean Girlsâ&#x20AC;? (2004), or, as co-creator Ryan Murphy put it in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s terms, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heathersâ&#x20AC;? (1988) meets â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friday the 13thâ&#x20AC;?(1980). â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Co-creators] Brad [Falchuk] and Ian [Brennan] and I, all three of us, were always obsessed with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s/early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s slasher genre that was always about young people and always about coming of age,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Like the Heathers, Chanel and her posse all have the same name. Ariana Grande (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victoriousâ&#x20AC;?) plays doe-eyed Chanel No. 2, newcomer Billie Lourd plays earmuff-wearing Chanel No. 3, and Abigail Breslin (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Miss Sunshine,â&#x20AC;? 2006) plays Chanel No. 5. Chanel No. 4 is conspicuously absent. The Chanels arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones being targeted by the Red Devil; the sororityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batch of strange and quirky pledges arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe either. Far from endearing us to these misfitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quirks Ă la â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glee,â&#x20AC;? the show makes most of them pretty irritating so that, in their own way, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really preferable to the vicious Chanels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; presumably so that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too distressed when one of them is decapitated by a lawnmower. If the show sounds violent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it is, at times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the blood and gore are toned down by the funny, clever script and sheer outrageousness of the overthe-top attacks. And the screaming. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of screaming. A LOT. Falchuk discussed the comedy/horror balance in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way you find the balance is understanding that, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing some ingredients, certain ingredients are super strong, and the flavour is so strong that if you use too much, it ruins the whole soup. Horror is something that is a really strong flavour, so just little drops of it is the best recipe.â&#x20AC;?
