DANIA BEACH, Fla. — A jet plane’s engine caught fire Thursday as it prepared for takeoff, and passengers had to quickly evacuate using emergency slides, officials said. One person was seriously injured by burns that were not life-threatening and about a dozen other people were taken to the hospital for minor injuries including bumps, sprains and stress, said Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles said. Dozens of passengers could be seen in video footage gliding down the slides and running away from the plane to the terminal as fire crews rushed to put the blaze out. There were 110 passengers and crew onboard the flight departing Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, Jachles said. The Boeing 767’s left engine caught fire as it taxied for takeoff to Caracas, Venezuela. Passengers on another plane on the runway recorded the fire and posted video to Twitter showing plumes of thick black smoke coming from the plane. A pilot in an aircraft taxiing behind the Dynamic Airways plane and an air traffic controller reported fuel leaking from it before the fire. An air traffic controller told the pilot “a lot of fluid” was leaking from his left engine and then urgently said the engine had caught fire and that he was dispatching firefighters, according to an audio recording posted by WSVN. Broward Aviation Department spokesman Allan Siegeo said the fire was extinguished by rescue teams on site. The airport closed briefly after the fire but had reopened Thursday afternoon. Dynamic said on its website its Boeing 767s can accommodate up to 250 people. Dynamic is a 5-year-old airline that connects

Fort Lauderdale, New York, Venezuela and Guyana. It operates seven 767s. It began servicing Caracas in July, after several other major airlines ended or slashed service to Venezuela over the government’s refusal to pay an estimated $4 billion the carriers say they have trapped in the country. For Venezuelans hoping to travel abroad, the options have been severely reduced to little-known carries such as Dynamic or domestic carriers, which due to the country’s economic crisis, have struggled to

import replacement parts. The company’s CEO, Paul Kraus, did not immediately respond to an email. A phone number listed on Dynamic’s website was answered by a contracted reservation company which said it had no available numbers for the airline. The National Transportation Safety Board was sending a four-person team to Fort Lauderdale to investigate. Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, Boeing and Dynamic will also take part.

Overvaluation in big housing markets THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says it has detected overvaluation in 11 housing markets, with other concerns flagged in Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina. A new CMHC report released today says acceleration in home prices and overvaluation — which occurs when prices aren’t supported by fundamental drivers such as income and population — suggest that trouble may be brewing in Toronto. In Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina, the federal agency says it has found evidence of overvaluation and overbuilding, which occurs when the supply of homes outpaces the demand.

“Problematic overvaluation conditions in local housing markets could be resolved by moderation in house prices .” Bob Dugan, economist

Saskatoon was not identified as problematic in CMHC’s last quarterly assessment as only one risk factor was present that city — overbuilding. But since then the agency has found signs of overvaluation in its real estate market, as well. CMHC says an overbuilding of condo units may also be

emerging in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, and the agency is monitoring those markets for developments. Meanwhile, the agency says evidence of problematic conditions in Vancouver is weak, although signs of overvaluation are beginning to emerge. CMHC’s chief economist Bob Dugan said it has found overvaluation in 11 out of 15 of the markets tracked by the report, making it the most prevalent of the issues the agency has detected in Canadian real estate markets. “The evidence of overvaluation has increased since the previous assessment in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton, and Saskatoon as price levels are not fully supported by economic and

demographic factors,” Dugan said in a statement. “Problematic overvaluation conditions in local housing markets could be resolved by moderation in house prices and/or improving economic conditions.” CMHC’s housing market assessment report aims to identify potential risks in Canadian real estate nationally and in 15 markets by evaluating economic, financial and demographic factors. The agency uses four factors to identify the level of risk present in regional housing markets: accelerating price growth, overvaluation of prices, overbuilding and overheating of demand, which occurs when demand significantly outpaces supply.

Getting around city is still a challenge, despite some improvements

etting around in a wheelchair in Nanaimo is no easy task. I wanted to write a story on wheelchair accessibility in the city and my editors, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best way to approach the subject would be for me to get in a wheelchair and experience first-hand the challenges of getting around. With the good folks at Motion Specialties on Bowen Road gracious enough to loan me a manual wheelchair, I prepared Robert myself with a Barron discussion with Reporting Bert Abbott, Spinal Cord Injury BC’s peer program co-ordinator for the north Island. He has been in a wheelchair since he badly injured himself falling from a tree in Qualicum Beach 23 years ago. He said that, while Nanaimo has come a long way in making the city more accessible to wheelchairs and those with other mobility problems since the time of his accident, people in wheelchairs are always faced with ongoing challenges. One of those is roadside curbs. The city has been proactive working toward having all intersections include curb cuts, areas where the curb is lowered to allow wheelchairs access on and off the sidewalk. Without them, those in wheelchairs still have no recourse but to travel the full length of a city block. But, as I discovered, even the curb cuts are no easy matter to maneuver. I went to the long crosswalk that stretches across the four-lane Island Highway at the intersection

of Aulds Road in the wheelchair and pushed the ‘walk’ button. When I was given the signal to proceed, I slowly lowered myself from the curb cut onto the road and was dismayed to discover the flashing ‘stop’ signal had already started before I even began to make the crossing. Already in a nervous sweat, I proceeded across the intersection as fast as I could while staring eye-toeye with car grills just inches from my face. When I finally got across the intersection just seconds before the highway traffic got the green light, the wheelchair’s front wheels dug into the curb cut and I came to an abrupt halt on the road before I managed to get out of the way of the oncoming traffic. Apparently, it takes some practice to master your maneuverability in these chairs. I then took the wheelchair to the overhead pedestrian walkway that crosses the Island Highway near Jingle Pot Road. I discovered — the hard way — that, while the approaches to the walkway are sloped to allow wheelchairs, crossing is still no easy task. Anyone in a non-motorized

wheelchair apparently require arms of steel, or at least stronger arms than mine, to pull themselves up what originally looked to me to be an easy incline. I headed downtown and was pleased to find most of the Harbourfront Walkway easily accessible for wheelchairs. Commercial Street, however, posed a variety of problems, including dodging a lot of pedestrian traffic. Dealing with the curbs was an ongoing problem. Many of the buildings downtown were not accessible because I couldn’t even reach the door knobs. The experience made me really appreciate the struggles people in wheelchairs have getting around in the city, but Abbott told me it was actually much worse a few decades ago. “There were few curb cuts in those days but Nanaimo has been good at helping us deal with the issue since then,” Abbott said. Brian Denbigh, Nanaimo’s manager of roads and traffic safety, said the city places curb cuts on all intersections in any new developments in the city, and brings older intersections “up to standards”

when upgrades are being made. He said if issues arise in which other intersections in the city are not “meeting criteria” for people in wheelchairs, city staff deal with them as they go. “There’s so many seniors and others in the city with mobility issues that it just makes good business sense to do that,” he said. Abbott said another issue is handicap parking. He said these designated slots are great for those with other disabilities, but most are just not wide enough for people in wheelchairs to lower the ramp for their chairs. “The Nanaimo Aquatic Centre now has three handicap spots just for vans and we’d like to see more spots that would be used exclusively by those with wheelchairs in the city,” he said. Abbott said the Regional District of Nanaimo has installed ramps on all of its transit buses. These allow access for wheelchairs, meaning users can now travel from south Nanaimo to Qualicum Beach and back on the same day. “The RDN’s handyDART service (for those with physical or cognitive disabilities who are unable to use public transit without assistance) is good, but you’re very restricted as to where you can go and when,” Abbott said. “There’s nothing spur-of-the-moment about the service and there are times when you need to book your ride days in advance.” Daniel Pearce, the RDN’s manager of transit operations, said wheelchair ramps on each of the district’s 49 transit buses were installed during the past eight years as older vehicles retired and new ones were brought in. But he acknowledged the handyDART service isn’t designed for individuals and the RDN tries to book in groups as much as possible. “We usually require at least 24-hour notice of a pick up, but we

can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, but not all the time,” Pearce said. As for access to commercial and residential properties, Abbott said many stores are working toward making their businesses more accessible, but some store aisles are too narrow or full of merchandise to allow wheelchairs. He said it’s hard to find houses in the city that are accessible by wheelchairs, and those that are available are not usually cheap. Abbott said many other jurisdictions in the country, including Vancouver, require all new homes to have at least one entrance that’s wheelchair accessible and a bathroom on the first floor. He said he’d like to see those same requirements in Nanaimo. Darcy Fox, a supervisor of building inspections with the city, said according to the province’s building code, all retail outlets larger than than 50 sq. ft. are required to be accessible by wheelchairs. He said all office buildings must have at least the first floor wheelchair accessible, with different requirements according to each building’s height. “But these rules only apply to new construction and are not retroactive to buildings that were constructed before the building code was established,” Fox said. “A lot of the buildings downtown were built about 80 years ago, so the rules of the building code don’t apply to them.” As for residential properties, Fox said there’s no requirements under the building code at this time for them to be wheelchair accessible.

Pumpkin supplies low on Vancouver Island DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

If you haven’t picked up a Halloween pumpkin yet, you’ll be hard pressed to find one in the mid-Island. Many grocery store shelves are unusually bare of the orange gourds, another effect of an unusually dry summer. “With our hot, dry summer, pumpkins ripened a lot earlier – three to four weeks ahead of schedule,” said Vern Michell, of Michell Bros. Farm in Saanichton, a major supplier of pumpkins to a number of major Island grocery stores. Heat ripened the gourds earlier, which is why stores had stacks of pumpkins a month ago. But those have all sold, with none to replace them. Michell said fewer growers chose to plant pumpkins this year. The reason: Compared to fast-growing spinach and lettuce, pumpkins are a low-value crop, and many growers from the Pacific Northwest to California, anticipating a water shortage, chose not

to plant pumpkins. “A lot of it is the drought, right up the Pacific coast, and up the Fraser Valley,” Michell said. “With drought conditions, if you didn’t have water in the spring, them pumpkins were the size of baseballs.” Other growers who irrigated their crops saw them ripen much earlier, only to rot in the fields from fall rains. Michell was lucky – he has irrigation, so he had a “perfect crop,” and little rain, producing thousands of the gourds that went to Save-on-Foods, Mr. Grocer, Fairways and other chains more than a month ago. Most are now gone, with no additional deliveries planned. Those that remain are sold you-pick style to families. “Our main sales here are to keep the local kids happy,” Michell said.

Garbage service rollout undecided DAILY NEWS

One-third of households in Nanaimo will get automated garbage service by next September, following a decision by council Monday night. But where the service will be put in place has yet to be decided. Council voted to proceed with the first phase of a three-year conversion of its garbage truck fleet from manual to automated models capable of mechanically emptying fitted garbage, recycling and kitchen waste bins from the curb. City staff had recommended that council endorse a full three-year program, at an overall cost of approximately $6.9 million. A majority council balked at endors-

ing the full three-year program, citing concerns with past city purchases. However, council did approve the purchase of two automated trucks, plus approximately 30,000 garbage, recycling and kitchen waste bins fitted to be lifted by the trucks. Charlotte Davis, the city’s sanitation manager, said an extensive public consultation process will take place with residents prior to the purchase of the new bins, including what size of bins is best, whether yard waste pickup should be included in the service and other options. As for where the service will be offered, Davis said she would likely recommended a specific section of the city, but said council will make the final call.

Report: Growth expected in various sectors First ‘State of the Island’ report says first six months of 2015 have been good for tourism on Island She said the while the rate of growth of international students is expected to decrease in the Lower Mainland in the next few years, growth on the Island should continue due to the lower cost of living compared to Vancouver in many Island communities. Mowbray said the number of businesses in the high-tech sector on the Island has grown by 7.4 per cent since 2010, and employment in the industry has grown by up to 15 per cent. She said data from Statistics Canada suggests that there is a significant number of self-employed people working in high-technology jobs on the Island, and that number is also expected to keep growing. But Mowbray said the fact that Vancouver Island is an island presents challenges. Access to markets and customers off an island is restricted, and the transportation costs of getting local products to market are higher. “It also presents challenges to attracting skilled labour to the Island,” Mowbray said. For the full report, go to www.viea.ca.

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

The economy on Vancouver Island faces some challenges, but “modest growth” in a number of sectors is expected in the coming years, according to Susan Mowbray. Mowbray, a senior economist with the MNP accounting firm, presented the first-ever annual “State of the Island” economic report Thursday at the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance’s two-day economic summit in Nanaimo. She said forestry, which was a major industry on the Island before the global economic crisis began in 2008, has seen incremental increases in exports in logs and lumber since 2010 as the American and Chinese markets improve, and that’s expected to continue. She did note the international market for pulp from the Island has not significantly increased since 2010. “Recent free trade agreements are providing improved market access for forestry products,” she said. “But among the challenges faced by coastal forest producers are relatively high costs of fibre, labour and energy compared to global competitors. As well, policy changes in Japan to encourage the use of domestic wood products, the threat of tariffs on paper products exported to China and the expiry of the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber agreement on Oct. 12 are all creating uncertainty.” She said the first six months of 2015 have been good for tourism on

the Island, which has been attributed largely to the low Canadian dollar and low gas prices. Mowbray said the Island has seen an increase in tourism of between five and seven per cent so far this year.

“As soon as the dollar goes down in value, lots of Canadians tend to stay at home for their vacations, and the low gas prices mean they plan more road trips,” Mowbray said. “As the economy continues to improve in the U.S., more Americans

are also travelling more and taking advantage of the low Canadian dollar.” Mowbray said the number of students coming from overseas to study at universities on the Island has grown 30 per cent since 2010.

Delegates impressed with continued growth of summit ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

The feedback from the more than 550 delegates who attended the ninth annual State of the Island Economic Summit this week in Nanaimo was “excellent,” according to George Hanson. Hanson, president of the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance which hosted the two-day summit that ended Thursday, said many delegates told him that the summit gets better every year. He said the summits have come a long way since the first one was held nine years ago. “We learn more every year about the best ways to achieve our objectives at the summit and tweak the event to meet the needs as we go,” Hanson said. “We are growing more successful at creating an atmosphere in which people can raise questions and talk about finding solutions together. Next year will be our tenth anniversary and we intend to plan the summit with that in mind.” The summit, held every year at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, is an annual gathering of business,

community and government leaders intended for delegates to share ideas, ask questions, network, learn about new initiatives and explore opportunities on the Island. Premier Christy Clark was the keynote speaker at the summit dinner on Wednesday. Hanson said one example of how the summit has worked to help improve the Island’s economy is in promoting international educational opportunities here. “The Island’s educational institutions were not working together and used to attend trade shows overseas individually and in competition with each other,” he said. “As a result of the collaborations between these groups at the summit in recent years, the University of Victoria, Rhodes University, Camosun College and two school districts in Victoria are now attending these trade shows together to market their schools, and now we’re seeing more growth in international students coming here.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

EDITORIAL

Women have a chance to shine in next Parliament T he 2015 federal election campaign was hardly one where women’s issues — or women — rose to the forefront. One reason was a simple shortage of female candidates: in 97 of the 338 federal ridings, none of the three major parties had a woman on the ballot. Another was that women’s issues were given short shrift in the campaign when Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair refused to participate in a debate on that topic. It wasn’t a great beginning, but there are strong signs now that women will hold considerably more power in the next Parliament than they did in the last. And that should give women across the country hope for change. The key is prime minister-designate

Justin Trudeau’s commitment that fully 50 per cent of his cabinet will be made up of women.That promise is both welcome and ambitious. Under Harper, 31 per cent of cabinet positions were held by women — the most senior being Rona Ambrose in health, Diane Finley in public works and Lisa Raitt in transport. And on the Cabinet Committee on Priorities and Planning, the inner circle of key decision-makers, only three of 15 members were women. So women will be watching carefully to see how Trudeau carries out his commitment. Will women crack the top positions of power — finance, foreign affairs, justice, trade, public safety and defence? Or will they be over-represented in “softer” portfolios and second-tier cabinet jobs? It’s not as if women haven’t success-

fully held powerful cabinet positions in the past. Former prime minister Kim Campbell was the first woman to be defence minister in any NATO country, while both Flora MacDonald and Barbara McDougall held the foreign affairs portfolio. Still, even now there has never been a female finance minister. Naming a woman to that job would be the strongest signal Trudeau could send that there are no limits for women in his government. Happily for the incoming prime minister, there’s plenty of talent among the 50 female Liberal MPs (27 per cent of his 184-member caucus) elected last week. Among the returning veterans are long-serving Toronto MP Carolyn Bennett; former journalist Chrystia Freeland of Toronto, who co-chaired Trudeau’s economic panel; B.C.’s

former environment minister, Joyce Murray; and Judy Foote, a former Newfoundland cabinet minister. Among top-flight newcomers are Ottawa lawyer Catherine McKenna, who beat the popular NDP incumbent Paul Dewar; Vancouver’s Jody Wilson-Raybould, a former Crown prosecutor and onetime regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations; Karen McCrimmon, the first female base commander in the air force; and lawyer Melanie Joly, who placed second in the last Montreal mayoral election. There’s also hope Trudeau will signal that a new era for women on Parliament Hill by placing women in high-profile leadership positions in the Prime Minister’s Office. A final sign that women will hold more sway is that there is strength in numbers. A record 88 women were

elected as MPs, up from 76 in the last Parliament. Of course, there are more MPs in total, so the percentage of female representatives edged up only slightly from 25 to 26 per cent. That’s short of the 30 per cent the United Nations says leads to a shift in policy and practice in government, still a dozen more women can make a difference. Trudeau faces a difficult balancing act in fulfilling his promise on women in the cabinet — weighing regional considerations and the ambitions of his many MPs, both male and female. It will be a crucial early test of his promise to bring fundamental change to Ottawa. – CP (TORONTO STAR)

Get rid of Senate once and for all

hat a strange, sad little place our democracy is sometimes. An unnamed Conservative Senator has told The Canadian Press that the imminent Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau should not expect an easy time for their legislation in the Senate. According to CP, he said: “We’re going to deal with them just like they dealt with us when they were the majority,” followed by: “I don’t have any responsibility to pass Liberal legislation.” The senator apparently spoke on anonymity, according to the story, because Senate Tories had yet to meet to discuss “next steps” with regards to the incoming Trudeau government. Sure. In the Ottawa Citizen, another Conservative, Sen. Bob Runciman, hinted proposed Liberal changes to the controversial C-51 security bill would be put through the rigors of (currently) Tory-controlled Senate. “There may be some things that Mr. Trudeau and some of his colleagues are very supportive of, but they may be matters that an overwhelming majority of Canadians are not comfortable with,” Runciman said. My rejoinder: Who thinks that “an overwhelming majority of Canadians” are comfortable with a group of unelected, upper crust, entitled, gormless hacks thwarting the will of an elected House of Commons Can-

adians sent back to Ottawa just two weeks ago? And who, in a supposedly modern democracy like Canada, is still comfortable with a relic like the Senate playing any part in our public affairs? ‘Relic’ is not an unfair term for what the Senate is, after all. The body was created in 1867 and was modelled after the British House of Lords, which we all know to be the embodiment of inclusivity and modernity. The chamber of “sober second thought,” as termed by Sir John A. Macdonald, was in fact designed to serve a similar role as the House of Lords: to allow the elite veto power over legislation put forward by the great unwashed. In other words, it wasn’t called the

‘Upper House’ because it was built at a higher elevation. And the title ‘House of Commons’ is not an homage to the working class. What we still get are platitudes about the necessity of a body whose primary function, at best, has been storage space for political allies and donors of the prime minister of the day. At worst, it’s members have displayed a hubris and misplaced sense of self-worth that has led them to overturn legislation passed by elected officials. Prime minister-designate Trudeau has proposed a new selection process for the senators he will appoint to the Red Chamber. Regardless of how that turns out, if one single bill passed by the House of Commons is meddled

with, delayed or thwarted by senators Conservative or otherwise, Trudeau should dedicate his energy to ridding us of the institution once and for all – and dare anyone to stop him.

Costumes return to traditional favourites Zombies, witches and vampires top the most-popular list for Vancouver Island party-goers JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

Costumes this year have drifted somewhat from the aggressively sexy and back toward the traditional, say local Halloween outfitters, with zombies, witches and vampires topping the list for most popular. Many regular costumes can easily be made gory, which is why zombies are popular with both men and women, and even kids, said Pattie Walker from Pattie’s Party Palace on Rutherford Road. Bustling with last-minute Halloween shoppers, Walker ran from person to person on Thursday, checking on their progress. She appeared to be costume-less until you get close and see the nasty-looking cuts and bruises on her face. “It’s a water-activated three-dimensional transfer, they have a tattoo line and a makeup line developed by professionals,” said Walker, who displays a rack of latex-free scars and transferable bullet holes. There is even a pair of jelly-like lips that give the appearance of Hollywood plastic surgery gone wrong. Fairly new on the market, they have been one of their most popular items this year as people seek to turn prom queen, doctor and princess costumes into something more sinister. “Zombies are always popular but we’ve noticed that everybody is tending to go way more to the scarier. It’s a trend to the scary,” said Walker. Traditional costumes are also popular, as well as costumes that involve the whole family — which is new this year, she added. “We’re pretty traditional people,

it seems. Black cat is number one for ladies, and that crosses all ages and then we get witches,” said Cindy McKinnon, Halloween consultant at Value Village. “Pretty, they like being pretty, so if they get to dress up a bit whether it’s a medieval gown or a space alien they like it to be pretty . . . but there’s a difference between

sexy and pretty. Pretty may mean a sparkly tiara or a wand with sparkle dust, it may mean they get to try on a wig and be pink-haired for the day or try on a ball gown with hoops in it.” Trending for men this year are the tried and true staples of vampires, super heroes and phantoms.

“Throw on a robe with the hood and grab a scythe, those ones,” said McKinnon with a laugh. As a thrift store, they also get their share of unusual requests, she added. “I had a guy come in the other day who wanted to be a lobster,” said McKinnon. “There was another young fellow, he had a styrofoam

head and a mask and wig, and he was going to attach a box to the front of his robe with just a head sticking out of the box. Not quite sure who he was going to be.” Julie.Chadwick @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4238

Housing project offers ‘hand up’ for single moms TRAVIS PATERSON SAANICH NEWS

A brand new 42-unit affordable housing development in Saanich will provide a “hand up” for single mothers with young children and vulnerable women aged 40 to 55. The housing project known as Rosalie’s Village was officially introduced last week at the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul of Vancouver Island’s Frederic Ozanam Centre, 4349 West Saanich Rd., where Glanford meets West Saanich. Beside it, construction is well underway for Rosalie’s Village, which will become its own address, 4351 West Saanich Rd., when it opens in September 2016. “This provides a part of the [housing] continuum that doesn’t exist, where [women] can come from a transition home, thereby freeing up a [very important] spot in a transition home,” said Angela Hudson, executive director of Saint Vincent de Paul of Vancouver Island. “This is a place for single mothers to stay [up to five years] and get a

hand up in independence, as long as they are working on a plan to independence.” All levels of government kicked in for Rosalie’s Village, with almost $14 million already announced and a remaining sum expected, likely from the federal government. Saanich contributed $172,262, the Capital Regional District board $630,000 through the Regional Housing Trust Fund, and the province $10 million. St. Vincent de Paul donated the land, worth about $1.3 million, and has committed to raising $1.6 million in donations.

“We wanted to develop the land for the highest and best use needed,” Hudson said. Rosalie’s will offer 18 two-bedroom units at a targeted rental rate of about $570 a month, all dedicated to single mothers with up to two young children. Eight of the two-bedroom units will be townhomes and the other 10 will be apartments. Twenty one-bedroom suites will be allocated to women aged 40 to 55 who currently live in over-housed subsidized family housing (see story page A14), for a cost of about $375 per month. Unique to the design is the integration of all units on the same floor to promote community and invite a connection between the mothers and the other women there. Rosalie’s also includes a daycare unit for children of residents as well as support services such as the house mother (on site 24/7) and a full-time case manager. The latter will work with all adult

residents on a long-term plan. Mothers with children may stay up to five years. “People are ready to start the next phase and we’re ready to help them. “It’s not about people fitting a mold, it’s about fitting what they need and this is a practical way to support that baby,” Hudson said. “When they’re ready, we’ll help them transition to market rent housing or if it’s not working for them, we’ll help them get into the appropriate housing, such as CRD or Pacifica.” The idea for Rosalie’s started seven years ago with the Saint Vincent de Paul of Vancouver Island board of directors. Despite having most of the foundation laid, it wasn’t announced to the public until last week for a few reasons, one of them to gather a blessing of local First Nations representatives, something that was important to Hudson. “When you walk on this property there is a heart, there is a feeling here,” she said.

Victoria Coun. Charlayne-Thronton Joe attended the opening and was a member of the CRD Regional Housing Trust Fund when it supported the project in the previous municipal term. “This is much needed, it will be a safe place to live for low-income people in our city,” she said. Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell spoke to the importance of St. Vincent de Paul’s goal of making Rosalie’s free of subsidy in the future. “We should thank them for their management of this project in the years ahead,” he said. Hudson said the project initially stalled as some couldn’t see daycare as a viable part of Rosalie’s operations. It took past-president Mary Spencer, a housing advocate, to get the project going ahead with the daycare included. St. Vincent de Paul of Vancouver Island continues to seek donors for the remaining $500,000 portion of its fundraising.

Missing mushroom picker survives night A local man in his late 30s was cold but able to walk out of the forest in Coombs the morning of Oct. 21 after 18 hours. “We were called out at two this morning to look for a mushroom picker that had gotten lost,” said Arrowsmith Search and Rescue volunteer Barry Blair. Close to 20 members were called out to the wilderness area at the end of Station Road to help the man who’d gone out alone around noon the previous day. “He did quite a few things right,” Blair said. “He had a cellphone with him, he was able to contact the RCMP, or maybe his family who contacted the RCMP. We were in voice contact with him for the duration of the search. He also had a flashlight which really helped us find him and he stayed basically in the same place, he did most things right.” The man was examined by a knowledgeable ASR member and an ambulance crew back at the road but not taken to hospital.

◆ CAMPBELL RIVER

Fire scare at hospital proves to be false alarm Fire crews responded last Friday night to reports of a possible fire at the new Campbell River hospital site. Four fire trucks and 17 firefighters attended the scene. “It’s one of our major buildings, so we don’t fool around,” Fire Chief Ian Baikie said. Firefighters walked along the roof and scoured the inside of the building by flashlight after receiving a call from a resident living nearby that there was smoke coming up from behind the large crane on the construction site and an odour of burning plastic. Baikie said it took awhile for crews to go through the large building, but didn’t find anything other than some heaters that were in use which he said could have produced the smokey smell. Fire crews cleared the scene around 10:30 p.m. after Baikie said firefighters were “absolutely” certain there was no fire in the building. The new $274.5 million hospital has been under construction since last year and is expected to open in late 2017.

in the area, and were using the helicopter to access the power lines. That was later confirmed by SaskPower, but no other details of the work being done were made available. The pilot has since been identified as 55-year-old Steven Wilson. Campbell River Mayor Andy Adams told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix the incident, “is a

devastating loss for the immediate family and I do know there a lot of people rallying around them at this particular point,” adding the family is well-known and very active in the community, “and there will be an impact.” The helicopter was an MD 500D owned by Oceanview Helicopters, based out of Powell River, who issued a statement after the crash.

“We are saddened to confirm that one of our helicopters was involved in an accident (Thursday, Oct. 22), and that the pilot and one passenger suffered fatal injuries at the scene. We have been in contact with the pilot’s family and are in communication with the passenger’s employer, who is our client. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of both gentlemen.”

They confirmed that the helicopter was being used for, “complex and highly specialized work at the time of the incident,” but that they will not speculate at this early stage in the investigation about what happened to cause the fatal crash. They say they are co-operating fully with the ongoing Transportation Safety Board of Canada and Transport Canada investigations.

Unauthorized campers getting locked out of ‘Little America’ BC Hydro, TimberWest to shut down popular sites after years of looking the other way CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BC Hydro and TimberWest are clamping down on Campbell River’s “Little America.” BC Hydro and TimberWest property along the shoreline of Upper Campbell Reservoir has been used for years by unauthorized campers, turning the areas into do-it-yourself-enhanced recreational sites. Both landowners have encouraged people to use the managed campsites elsewhere around the watershed, including those operated by B.C. Parks and Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. But the unauthorized camping in two areas has grown to be a problem, according to BC Hydro. The locations are known by locals as Little America and Eagle Point. “BC Hydro is aware of the informal camping and we deal with the odd camping or squatters issue from time to time when it becomes problematic, but we were very surprised this summer to see the amount of roads and campsites along the shores of the reservoir,” said BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “We thought it was a handful of campers. But over the last 10 years or so it has grown to about 60 campsites and perhaps 150 or more people on weekends in the four areas of Little America. We’ve never seen it to this extent.” The Eagle Point site has about 40 campsites, bringing the total unauthorised campsites to about 100. The majority of the sites are now vacant, but this summer and fall Watson spoke to some of the people, many of them from Campbell River. The vast majority of the campsites appear to be set up in the spring and taken down in the fall. People are staying at one campsite location for months at a time. “There are perhaps a handful that seem to stay there as some sites look to have been occupied for years,” said Watson. “By and large, the users seem to be somewhat co-ordinated, with even a sewage truck coming bi-weekly.

This unauthorized recreation area on Upper Campbell Lake was inundated with water from the storm in December 2014 and demonstrates the extent to which modifications are made. [COURTESY OF BC HYDRO]

However, this has become a large liability to BC Hydro,” he continued. “This includes wildfire risks, improper grey water disposal, fuel spills, to inundation of belongings and equipment when the reservoir level increases from the fall storms. It’s causing damage to our property. “This unauthorized and uncontrolled clearing and use of our land is not something we can allow.” Watson said BC Hydro and TimberWest have worked together over the years to close off areas around Upper Campbell Lake. BC Hydro owns the land along the reservoir shoreline and TimberWest the inland areas and road networks. About three-quarters of the campers appear to be on BC Hydro property. “People are camping for free but as the property owner it isn’t free as there are impacts,” said Watson. The extent of the situation came to light in June when BC Hydro, TimberWest and drinking water

authorities met to visit the areas. The Campbell River system is the source of domestic water supply for the City of Campbell River and areas of the Strathcona Regional District. “In talking to some of the campers it seems people started going there years ago and over time friends and family started to expand the camping areas,” said Watson. “With no one really stopping them, it went from there. Now it’s a significant campsite. We decided to wait this summer until the season was over and then permanently close off these areas. “TimberWest and BC Hydro will discuss things over the winter to see if TimberWest would consider managing one of the main Little America sites, with camping fees, for the May to September period.” Watson says BC Hydro is unable to manage these unauthorized recreation sites because of limited resources and budget.

He pointed out Hydro already has year-round and free campsites below Strathcona Dam. TimberWest and BC Hydro are sharing the cost to install gates, post signage, and remove any belongings from the land that are still there past Dec. 9. “The signage will be in place on Oct. 27 and the gates, left in the open position, will be installed a week later,” said TimberWest’s Oyster River Operations Forester, Bill Grutzmacher. “The signs will essentially say that occupants have six weeks’ notice to remove their belongings. “The gates will be placed not on the main hauling road but where these side roads are located that lead down to the reservoir. “In some areas the roads will be decommissioned by ditching and rock placement, like we’ve done in the past. The gates will be closed on Dec. 9.”

Skeptical chief pans agreement in principle JOHN HARDING PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

The Agreement in Principle signed by local First Nations with the provincial and federal governments “is not worth the paper it’s written on” because big issues have not been settled, Nanoose First Nation Chief David Bob told the Regional District of Nanaimo’s board of directors Tuesday night.

Bob’s Snaw-Naw-As nation is one of five that signed the Te’mexw treaty agreement in principle. Bob told the board it’s his hope a final agreement can be worked out in the next five years, but he didn’t sound confident and he said his people are in a holding pattern in terms of economic growth while they wait for a final deal to be reached. “We’re in a position where we really can’t do anything until we settle

the treaty,” said the chief. “We are still sitting here waiting, wondering what’s going to happen.” As he has in the past, Bob used clear language to explain his people’s views on the land that stretches from French Creek to Piper’s Lagoon in Nanaimo to Arrowsmith Mountain. “You’re on Snaw-Naw-As land, our traditional territory and you are guests in our home,” he said. “We are taught to treat our guests with

Police slap town’s new pot shop with cease-and-desist order KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A controversial new medical marijuana dispensary in Port Alberni has been ordered to cease and desist by the RCMP. Whether it will remains to be seen. WeeMedical opened its doors on Monday morning after hiring staff via social media last week. Operated by Justin Liu, WeeMedical will dispense marijuana face-to -face to those who have a prescription from a doctor. It’s a model he uses at a similar dispensary in Nanaimo, where they are still operational and Liu said they have never had a police complaint. It is, however, a model that is currently illegal, Port Alberni RCMP Inspector Mac Richards said. On Wednesday, RCMP delivered WeeMedical the following letter, signed by Richards. “If your illegal business practices do not cease, I will consider taking action in the future which may include your business being subject to search and seizure of

He said that WeeMedical, a registered non-profit, believes that times are changing for marijuana usage. “The writing’s on the wall . . . the Liberals are in, it’s being legalized,” said Liu. “If you look at Vancouver, there’s more dispensaries than there are Starbucks.” “We operate on the highest stan-

dard of if you need it medicinally —such as if you have fibromyalgia, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic migraines, chronic back pain, and you can prove that you do have those ailments then we’re substituting the typical drugs for that.” City planner Scott Smith said that the dispensary has “no approvals from the city.” While Smith wouldn’t speculate as to the hypothetical approvals that could be imposed on a marijuana dispensary, he did state that “non-profits of a legal nature would not require a business licence.” However, permits for renovations may still be required depending on the circumstances, Smith added. It’s not just the legality of WeeMedical that has some residents worried, however. Trevor Bertrand of the Port Alberni Cannabis Club and a medical user of marijuana feels like the dispensary jumped the gun. “The so-called medical cannabis setup on Third Avenue is illegal,” Bertrand told city council on Monday night.

HIGHWAY DEATH

ICBC backpedals on lawsuit claims Initial claims of impairment in cycling death dropped, but company continues with lack of care argument GEORDON OMAND THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s public auto insurer says a cyclist’s own carelessness led him to be run down and killed by an alleged impaired driver on a highway near Whistler. The Insurance Corp. of B.C. responded to a lawsuit filed against it earlier this year by initially arguing that Ross Chafe may have been cycling under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the May 31 collision. A week later, the Crown corporation amended its original submission, removing the suggestion that

NEWS IN BRIEF The Canadian Press

Chafe could have been riding while “impaired by alcohol, drugs, fatigue, illness or any combination thereof.” The remaining 11 claims were not changed, including that Chafe’s brakes were possibly faulty and that he might not have been riding legally or staying as close as possible to the road’s shoulder. “He was operating the said cycle without proper care and attention or without reasonable consideration for others using the highway,” read the response to civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court on earlier this month. “He failed to take reasonable or proper or any precaution to avoid the

accident. ... He failed to give any or adequate warning to (the driver of the vehicle) when the accident was, or should have appeared, imminent.” ICBC issued a statement on Wednesday saying that it wasn’t accusing Chafe of anything, but rather wanted to flag “possible issues” that should be explored. “Our intentions are in no way to deny a fair settlement to any deserving party,” wrote spokesman Adam Grossman in an email. “This is very much part of the standard legal process. Defence must lay out any potential scenario which may have occurred so it can be considered.” Chafe was out for a weekend ride

with two others along Highway 99 about 50 kilometres north of Whistler when his group was hit by a vehicle alleged to have been driven by Samuel Alec. On Sept. 17, Chafe’s wife, Lizanne Bussieres, launched legal action against Alec and the vehicle’s owner, Carmen Ned, for negligence. A month later, ICBC applied to be included as a third party in the case. Bussieres alleged Ned was aware that Alec was impaired and still allowed him to use the vehicle, which she argued wasn’t properly maintained. Court documents indicate she filed the lawsuit on behalf of herself and

Dog-beater banned from owning animals A Victoria-area man who beat a dog with a baseball bat until it could barely walk has been sentenced to six months in jail and banned from owning animals for 10 years. Joseph White of Colwood was convicted of causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal and failing to provide the necessities of life. The SPCA’s senior manager of cruelty Shawn Eccles says White adopted the dog from the agency in April 2013 and a year later said it was too aggressive. Eccles says that when White brought the dog back to a shelter, it was unable to move because of multiple injuries, leading to an investigation.

None of the allegations have been proven in court and neither Ned nor Alec have filed statements of defence. The collision also killed Chafe’s fellow cyclist Kelly Blunden and Paul Pierre Jr., who was a passenger in the vehicle. In August, RCMP charged Alec with several offences, including impaired driving causing death, criminal negligence causing death and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.

Gift to premier salutes wartime contributions of Indian soldiers TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

An 1874 version of the Red Ensign flag has been presented to the B.C. government to commemorate the contribution of Indian Army soldiers to allied forces in World War I and their settlement in the province. Steven Purewal, founder of Indus Media Foundation Canada, presented the flag to Premier Christy Clark Oct. 28 as a symbol of their contribution. Here are excerpts from Purewal’s speech: “In 1849 Vancouver Island and the Punjab both became realms of the Crown. For the Punjab, the Victorian era opened up many opportunities within the vast military administration of the empire. And by the turn of the 19th Century, Punjabis had won many accolades as outstanding soldiers of the Queen in the various campaigns throughout Asia and Africa.

“The heroic story of the Canadians in Flanders Fields is told in our classrooms. But what’s not told is that the Punjabis were standing united with Canada.” Steven Purewal, Indus Media Foundation

“As we know, in the summer of 1914, the ship Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver to a less than welcoming environment. “It was a sad episode in our community’s history. “But there is another story, an epilogue if you will, to the Komagata Maru story. And that is that another ship was asked to sail at the very same time the Komagata Maru was

leaving from India, that was asked to sail to France. “That ship contained the kith and kin of the people aboard the Komagata Maru. Their story is the story of the men that stood with Canada during its baptism of fire in World War I. “The heroic story of the Canadians in Flanders Fields is told in our classrooms. But what’s not told is that the Punjabis were standing united with Canada. They were there as brothers in arms and friends in need. They stood true despite the events of Vancouver. “On the centennial of World War I, our children should learn that the Indian Army won 9,000 gallantry awards, that the Indian Army fielded more men in World War I than all the other colonies put together, including Canada and Australia, that they were critical to the allied victory.”

TransCanada has cleared a major hurdle for its Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) project, which would bring natural gas from northeastern B.C. to the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal on Lelu Island. On Oct. 27 the company announced it had received final permits from the BC Oil and Gas Commission, essentially providing regulatory approval for the construction and operation of the pipeline. The permit covers the entire 900 kilometres of the route — including both the marine and terrestrial pipeline — as well as the construction of three compressor stations and a meter station at the terminal itself. “Receiving the full complement of 11 pipeline and facility permits is a major milestone for the project, and concludes an exhaustive regulatory process that we embarked on more than two years ago,” said Tony Palmer, PRGT president. “Along with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Certificate received last November, the BCOGC permitting process was the last major regulatory step for PRGT. At the same time, we continue to work towards securing more Project Agreements with First Nations, which provide significant financial benefits while addressing cultural and environmental interests.” While the commission issued the permits, those permits include approximately 70 conditions placed on the project related to everything from notification and reporting to First Nations and heritage conservation to terrain stability and stream crossings.

TOBACCO

Smoke signals indicating contraband smokes JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

Contraband or counterfeit cigarettes that avoid government taxes and are often sold to teens are much more readily available in B.C. than Alberta, according to a new study. Illegal smokes made up 15 per cent of the discarded butts sampled at sites across B.C., including schools and hospitals, compared to 10 per cent in Alberta. The survey was commissioned by the Western Convenience Stores Association, which wants the province to crack down on the illegal sales. WCSA president Andrew Klukas admits his members have a motive to get more customers in their stores, but insists it’s in the public interest. “To see this going on across the street from us, to see these products being sold without tax to kids, without any age testing or any controls, is extremely frustrating,” Klukas said. The rate of illegal tobacco found in butts discarded at B.C. schools was 15.5 per cent, the highest in western Canada.

The province is being urged to crack down on the smuggling and dealing of untaxed contraband tobacco. [PIXABAY]

Surrey’s Tamanawis Secondary had the highest rate among B.C. schools — 19.7 per cent of discarded butts

there were illicit smokes. The rate was nearly 39 per cent outside the Passport Canada office in

downtown Vancouver, nearly 32 per cent at UBC and about 25 per cent at Terrace’s Mills Memorial Hospital as well as a federal government building in Surrey’s Newton area. The association argues high taxes and other government regulations have encouraged the underground tobacco business, where consumers can get cigarettes on the cheap. “A lot of people are using these products and they simply don’t understand it’s not victimless,” Klukas said. Besides the estimated $120 million a year in lost government tax revenue, he said the trade helps fuel organized crime in B.C. and across the country. Most of the unauthorized smokes sold in B.C. are produced on aboriginal reserves in Quebec or Ontario and are smuggled across the country, Klukas said. He said B.C. could follow other provinces and let municipal police forces keep the proceeds of crime, giving them a financial incentive to tackle smuggled smokes. Klukas also argues the province’s

finance ministry doesn’t have enough staff pursuing fraud investigations. “Get some more boots on the ground and it will pay for itself,” he suggested. The top 10 B.C. cities with the highest rates of illicit cigarettes found were: Vancouver at 28.7 %; Richmond at 21.2 %; Terrace at 19.8 %; Surrey at 17.6 %; Prince George and Prince Rupert, both at 14 %; Langford at 13.1 %; Chilliwack at 13 %; Kamloops at 12.2 %; Victoria at 11.6 %; and Port Coquitlam at 11.1 %. Klukas said the WCSA is not lobbying government to reduce tobacco taxes, but argues they can’t be increased further without first getting control of the problem. Finance ministry spokesman Jamie Edwardsen said B.C. will be requiring all legal cigarettes be sold with a new Health Canada stamp that makes them easier to distinguish from unauthorized ones. Provincial fraud investigators have an illegal tobacco tipline that accepts anonymous reports at 1-877-977-0858.

Groups want assisted suicide panel gone Two advocacy groups urge the federal government to disband a panel on physician-assisted death KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS

A three-member federal panel on assisted death created under the Conservative government should be disbanded, two advocacy groups argue. Dying with Dignity Canada and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association put forward Thursday a blueprint with recommendations for leadership on physician-assisted death, including a call for the panel to halt its work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is necessary for a number of reasons,â&#x20AC;? said Wanda Morris, CEO of Dying with Dignity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could have

really wrestling with the nuts and bolts in a way that just blows out of the water anything that the federal panel has done.â&#x20AC;? Last February, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized the right of clearly consenting adults who endure intolerable physical or mental suffering to end their lives with a physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help. The court gave Parliament one year to come up with a set of laws to govern assisted suicide, though former justice minister Peter MacKay mused in June that the government â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Conservative or otherwise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would

require more time to address the decision. In the summer, the federal government appointed the three-member panel. It has defended its independence and has conducted research tours in Europe and Portland, Ore. The panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman is psychiatry professor Harvey Max Chochinov, the Canada research chair in palliative care at the University of Manitoba. His co-panellists are University of Ottawa law professor Benoit Pelletier, a former Quebec cabinet minister and a constitutional expert and Catherine Frazee, former co-director

of Ryerson Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s institute for disability research and education. Both Chochinov and Frazee both argued against doctor-assisted dying before the Supreme Court, but the chairman maintains the panel is committed to carrying out its task in a careful and objective way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly whatever opinions anyone has held previously, we have all moved on to a very different conversation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conversation the Supreme Court has asked us to engage in, which is not if and when assisted suicide will happen, but how.â&#x20AC;?

Quebec officials defend use of taxpayer funding on Bombardier

Duggars still on home school forum agenda THE CANADIAN PRESS

Government says aerospace giant is too important to the provincial economy GIUSEPPE VALIANTE THE CANADIAN PRESS

Amid fierce criticism from the opposition that the Quebec government unduly risked US$1 billion of taxpayer money on a struggling aircraft, provincial leaders justified their decision on Thursday by saying aerospace giant Bombardier is too important to fail. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard and Economy Minister Jacques Daoust tried to reassure citizens that the massive cash injection into Bombardier’s CSeries program is critical to keeping good jobs and tax revenues. Bombardier, meanwhile, argued the company represents two per cent of Quebec’s GDP, and the taxpayer money was necessary to reassure markets the company had a future and enough of a cash flow to continue operations. “In the aerospace industry, we are at the top of the world,” Daoust said in Montreal. “If we don’t invest in businesses that we are good in, where should we invest?”

Alain Bellemare, president and Chief Executive Officer Bombardier Inc., speaks to the media at a news conference Thursday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Couillard said the province’s aerospace industry supports 40,000 jobs and the government’s cash injection is an investment, not a loan. “We are partners with Bombardier,” Couillard said. “And what I’ll say to Quebecers and to all Canadians is that the aerospace industry to Quebec is what the auto industry is to Ontario.”

The Quebec government will own 49.5 per cent of a new joint company with Bombardier solely responsible for the CSeries aircraft, which is about two years behind schedule. Parti Quebecois Leader Pierre Karl Peladeau and Francois Legault, who heads the Coalition for Quebec’s Future, said the Liberals don’t understand economics and

An Alberta home-schooling association is standing by a controversial American reality TV couple slated to speak at its upcoming annual convention. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are to give a keynote address at the Alberta Home Education Convention in Red Deer in April. The long-running show 19 Kids and Counting chronicled the religious Arkansas couple and their growing number of home-schooled children. The program was cancelled on TLC in July after revelations that their oldest child, Josh, had fondled four of his sisters. The Alberta Home Education Association, which is organizing the convention, says in a statement on its website that board members decided to keep the Duggars on the agenda. It says the molestation happened more than a decade ago and is “old news.” “The AHEA does not condone Josh’s behaviour but wishes to follow the example of the victims in this situation who have expressed a desire to ‘forgive and forget,”’ said the statement.

are poor negotiators. Peladeau said by investing only in the risky and struggling branch of Bombardier, the government is taking all the risk and should have held out for a stake in the other profitable sectors of the company. “The problem is that the government has taken all the risks and receives none of the benefits,” Peladeau said in the legislature. Couillard said under the agreement, Quebec has a direct say in the development of the CSeries plane and a 20-year guarantee Bombardier will keep its headquarters, manufacturing and engineering facilities in the province. The government also defended the investment in light of ongoing rotating public sector strikes this week and other cuts the Liberals have made since taking office. Daoust told reporters that the salaries of teachers and other public sector workers are one-time expenses while the government expects a return on its investment with Bombardier.

MURER TRIAL

Witness says accused too sick to form intent adjustment disorder, exhibiting signs of anxiety and depression with obsessive-compulsive traits. She also said Turcotte was in an acute suicidal crisis. Turcotte told jurors at his trial last week that on Feb. 20, 2009, he had decided to end his life and began drinking windshield washer fluid — which contains methanol. As he went about his plan, he decided to bring his children with him. Bourget testified Thursday that Turcotte was not thinking of killing his children the night they died. “For him, at that moment it’s not to kill, it’s to bring his children with him,” she said. She said this logic was clearly faulty and irrational.

Volvo hops to forefront with kangaroo detection Volvo Cars is working on a kangaroo detection system to avoid costly car crashes in Australia. Volvo already has radar and camera-based technology that detects pedestrians and cyclists and automatically brakes to avoid a collision. It says the system reacts even more quickly than human drivers. Volvo has tested the technology on slower moving animals like moose and cows in its home market of Sweden. Now, it’s studying kangaroos, which move more quickly and erratically. A team from Volvo travelled to a nature reserve near Canberra this week to study kangaroos’ roadside behaviour. The Swedish motor company says there are more than 20,000 car-kanga-

The son of an American peace activist who advocated coexistence and who died this week following a Palestinian attack earlier this month says his father is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Facebook for allowing gruesome Palestinian pages that incite violence. Micah Avni said Thursday the lawsuit was filed in the United States by Israelbased rights group Shurat Hadin, days before his 76-year-old father Richard Lakin died. Lakin was seriously wounded when two Palestinians boarded a Jerusalem bus and began shooting and stabbing passengers. He was a school principal and a 1960s civil rights movement activist in the U.S. before moving to Israel, where he worked as an educator. The plaintiffs seek to ban Facebook from such postings, which Israel says have contributed to the recent surge in attacks.

Suspect identified in case of missing child Federal authorities say a Minnesota man is a “person of interest” in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling, whose mother became a national advocate for the cause of missing children after his abduction in 1989. They made the announcement at a news conference Thursday. A 52-yearold Minnesota man was arrested Wednesday on several child pornography charges. An application for a search warrant in that case says that authorities wanted to search for items including human remains, a red T-shirt with the name Wetterling on the back and a red hockey team jacket with the name Jacob stitched on the front. The search was carried out July 28. Wetterling was 11 when he was abducted Oct. 22, 1989, near his home in the central Minnesota community of St. Joseph.

A man accused of killing a two-yearold Alberta girl and her father requires further psychiatric assessment before it is determined if he is fit to stand trial. Derek Saretzky, who is 22, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and Terry Blanchette. He appeared via closed-circuit television in a Lethbridge, Alta., courtroom this morning. Court was told the 30-day mental review he has been undergoing is not sufficient and another month is needed. Saretzky was charged in the two deaths in the Crowsnest Pass area of southwestern Alberta last month after Blanchette’s body was found in his Blairmore home. Hailey was discovered a day later in a rural area after an Amber Alert that stretched across Western Canada and into the United States. Saretzky faces a separate charge of committing an indignity to the little girl’s body. He is scheduled to return to court Nov. 26.

“We understand that this way of thinking is highly abnormal and can be explained, in Mr. Turcotte’s case, by the presence of psychiatric illness,” she wrote in her July 2015 report. She said a parent who is contemplating suicide doesn’t think about killing, but rather about an “expanded suicide” because a good parent doesn’t want to abandon their child and leave them behind. His actions are all the more “absurd,” she said, “because he’s causing them to suffer (by killing them)” to spare them the suffering of finding their father dead. Bourget testified at Turcotte’s first trial in 2011 and saw him again in July 2015 to make a second report.

SAINT-JEROME, Que. — A defence witness testified Thursday that Guy Turcotte’s mental state the night he stabbed his two children to death prevented him from developing an intent to kill. Dominique Bourget was back on the stand for a second day at the former doctor’s first-degree murder trial in the February 2009 slayings of his two young children. Bourget told the jury she believes the acts were the product of man whose brain was profoundly sick. His brain was not working like a normal person’s, Bourget said, adding that Turcotte was disconnected from reality.

“He was in a state of mental confusion and was out of touch with reality,” she said. “He was thinking so much about dying, he was no longer thinking of anything else.” Turcotte, 43, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of Olivier, 5, and Anne-Sophie, 3. He has admitted to causing their deaths but his lawyers are arguing he should be found not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder. Bourget, a forensic psychiatrist with a specialty in domestic homicides, is crucial to that defence. On Wednesday, she told the court that Turcotte was suffering from an

OTTAWA

Capital says goodbye kitty to Harper’s cats Prime minister’s cats, pet chinchilla and foster animals on their way out of residence at 24 Sussex Drive STEPHANIE LEVITZ THE CANADIAN PRESS

Stephen Harper is a goner — and his cats aren’t coming back. The outgoing prime minister has long been known to have a fondness for felines — indeed, prior to being elected in 2006, Harper quipped he was like one himself, because of his many political lives. And as he prepares to begin anew as a member of the Tory backbench, so too are his cats preparing for a new life of their own.

Stanley and Gypsy — along with Charlie, a pet chinchilla — are all moving out of 24 Sussex Drive to live with the Harper family at their new permanent digs in Calgary. What’s more, the many foster-animal friends that had been living at the prime minister’s official residence in the months before the election were all found new homes in the summer. The Harpers have fostered dozens of cats, as well as a number of other small animals, since moving in

nearly a decade ago. Eventually, they devoted an entire upstairs room to the cause. Some of the animals were eventually adopted by political staffers, others by MPs and cabinet ministers. Harper’s wife Laureen was a prominent volunteer for the Ottawa Humane Society, among other things acting as the honorary chair for the organization’s annual gala, the Fur Ball. “She’s been tremendous; some years she’s been our most active

foster volunteer,” Bruce Roney, the executive director of the Ottawa Humane Society, said in a statement. “She’s contributed greatly both hands on and by her presence to the Fur Ball and we’re grateful for her involvement.” The Harpers’ fondness for cats is well-documented, going as far back as their wedding where two felines were part of the party, one in a bow tie and one in a lace collar. The death of a former cat, Cartier, was even noted by Sen. Mike Duffy in

his prolific diaries that form part of the evidence in his criminal trial. But Charlie the Chinchilla was especially prominent in the family’s later political years — he was featured in the family’s 2013 Christmas card and also starred in a YouTube video. Charlie even has a mock Twitter account in his honour — one that was active during last week’s fateful election night, when Harper’s Conservatives were ousted by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party.

Ontario’s ‘Fairy Bra Mother’ teaching women to make body-friendly bras

Charred body in suitcase is focus of trial DIANA MEHTA THE CANADIAN PRESS

PAOLA LORIGGIO THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sophie Ndala watched her mother wrestle with ill-fitting lingerie her whole life and painstakingly alter oversize bras that nonetheless dug into her shoulders and provided little support. With bra shopping a bust in their home country of South Africa, Ndala travelled thousands of kilometres to southern Ontario to learn how to help her mother — and maybe start a business herself. She enrolled at Bra-Makers Supply in Hamilton, a sewing store and custom lingerie school that has grown into an international attraction for both amateurs and professionals. For nearly two decades, the store’s owner and self-described “fairy bra mother” Beverly Johnson has shown women — and the occasional man — how to handcraft bras that fit bodies of various shapes and sizes using her own patterns. Johnson, 62, launched the school — one of the only programs of its kind — after years of leading workshops across Canada and around the world. Between her in-person lessons and new online courses, Johnson estimates she’s taught more than 30,000 people to make beautiful and supportive bras. Some have gone on to start their own businesses or teach lingerie-making themselves in stores such as The Make Den in west-end Toronto. A recent weeklong master class on plus-size bras saw Ndala create a pale blue prototype to take home to her mother — who has large breasts but a petite frame — and replicate. If the undergarment fits, Ndala said she plans to start sewing some for others. “There’s really a need out there for people to make bras for people who can’t have them anywhere,” Ndala said. “You don’t get these at the stores because they never make them like this, they only make for certain

sizes for average women.” Several of her classmates already have their own lingerie lines and turned to Johnson to hone their skills. “I really want to hit the mastectomy market,” said Holly Myers, a custom bra-maker based in Portland, Ore. “One of my aunts had breast cancer several years back and I’m also a pilates instructor, that’s kind of my first career, and I have quite a few clients who have mastectomies as well ... and they always complain about not being able to find cute bras and cute swimwear.” After buying Johnson’s first book on bra-making, Myers sought out further instruction, but “nobody really teaches custom anywhere,” she said. Here, she learned how to make her own breast forms for mastectomy bras.

A longtime seamstress, Johnson came to lingerie in the 1990s after making dance and figure-skating costumes and running her own interior design business in New Brunswick. She wanted something she could do out of her own home after moving to Ontario and felt bra-making was something “women can use,” she said. But the patterns available at the time weren’t up to snuff, so Johnson set out to design her own, first taking apart dozens of existing models for research. As Johnson’s teaching took off, a new challenge emerged: finding the proper materials to support her craft. That remains a “major headache” to this day, she said. “In Canada especially, we’ve lost a lot of our fabric mills, we’ve lost a lot of our places to buy elastics and laces and that sort of thing,” she said.

Bra-Makers was born to fill that need and now commissions all of its elastics and most of its fabrics, she said. The school, which operates in the back of the shop, offers a range of classes from a $225 two-day introductory course to a $600 five-day “boob camp” and lessons in swimwear and corsetry. In the beginner class, students adapt patterns to their own body. “We don’t expect their body to fit into my bra pattern,” Johnson said. The master classes were brought in to replace what once was a nine-week bra-making certification course after new provincial regulations forced Johnson to axe the program or register as a private career college. With a bit of practice, even novice bra-makers can churn out a new undergarment in a few hours, she said.

Graphic crime-scene video and photos were shown Thursday at the trial of a man charged in the death of his teenage daughter, whose charred body was found in a burning suitcase 21 years ago. Everton Biddersingh has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 17-year-old daughter Melonie. He has pleaded not guilty. As Crown prosecutors questioned a police witness, jurors watched a video that showed Melonie’s charred body as it was found — curled up in the fetal position, the metal frame of a suitcase visible around her, a black tire beneath the suitcase. Court has heard that the suitcase was discovered burning in an industrial area north of Toronto in 1994. WARNING: Content May Disturb Some Readers. In the video, the side of Melonie’s body that was visible was badly burned but the general structure of her face and feet can be made out. The court was also shown photographs of Melonie’s incredibly frail body during an autopsy, which the judge presiding over the case warned would be “quite graphic.” A police officer who took the photographs described the teen’s body as “very slight, very thin.” Forensic officer Dan Lanegraff agreed with Biddersingh’s lawyer, however, that there was “no physical evidence” tying Melonie’s father to the scene of the burning suitcase which contained his daughter. A Crown prosecutor has said Melonie was starved and abused before her death. Jurors have heard that she is thought to have weighed only about 50 pounds when she died. Jurors have been told that Melonie came to Canada from Jamaica in 1991 to live with her father and stepmother, but was never sent to school and was “treated like a slave.” The case has taken two decades to get to trial because police weren’t able to identify Melonie’s remains for years.

NHL

Canucks squander another lead, lose 4-3 Up 3-1 in the third period against the Dallas Stars, the lead slipped away before Jamie Benn scored the winner SPORTS INSIDE Today’s issue

JASON BOTCHFORD THE PROVINCE

urns out, the Canucks don’t need home ice to blow third period leads. They showed in Dallas, they can do it just as easily on the road. The Canucks took a 3-1 lead when Radim Vrbata scored just ten seconds into the third period. And they squandered it. Again. They had 19:50 to make that lead stand. With the way the Canucks have been playing the third periods this season, that was way too much time. Like Jamie Benn had way too much space in the 3-on-3 to beat Ryan Miller. And just like that, the Canucks lost overtime. Again. 4-3. Too bad for Miller because he was so good early. If you’re ever wondered what Miller looks like at his best, and at 35, the first period in Dallas Thursday has you covered. One year after getting run out the building here in rather embarrassing fashion, Miller early was everything the Canucks hoped he could be when they planned on infusing their lineup with youth. The Canucks put out one of their most inexperienced lineups in recent memory. They had eight players who are 25 or younger. They had Brendan Gaunce playing his first ever NHL game. They had Jake Virtanen on the third line and Jared McCann centring the fourth. They needed great goaltending to stabilize the team early, to buy them time to gather themselves and get comfortable. They went the first 11 minutes without a shot on net. So, it was the Miller show. He brushed aside a Jamie Benn slap shot, an in-tight Patrick Sharp backhand and a Jason Spezza snap shot from the slot. All of this in the first few minutes. Honestly, if Miller wasn’t on, this was another five-to-nothing-by-thesecond period whoopings that probably would have had the head coach second guessing his decision to start so many rookies. The game was not perfect for Miller. Sharp would beat with about five minutes to go in the first, on a goal

to expand NHL replay to include things like high sticks to the face. Jannik Hansen took a pretty brutal one that cut up his eyes courtesy of Jyrki Jokipakka. All of the on-ice officials missed it. TRUCK: That’s what Jake Virtanen looked like when he absolutely crushed Valeri Nichushkin. Virtanen lined the hit up for seconds, then pancaked him with a perfectly clean hit behind the net. HOT: Yannick Weber can’t help the Canucks power play you say? Vancouver scored again with the man advantage Thursday in Dallas and with that goal were on a 4-for7 run since Weber returned to the lineup.

you could call soft, even though it did hit Luca Sbisa’s stick. WHAT THIS MEANS Jared McCann is staying, right? I mean, he scores goals, lots of them. And how long have the Canucks been waiting to have a young player who could do that? Long enough. But both Jim Benning and Willie Desjardins have been insistent that if the junior-eligible guys are going to stick around, it’s going to be because of their defence. And Thursday night in Dallas, in a game Desjardins couldn’t protect his fourth line, they weren’t great. Still, you can’t send him back to junior after these goals, can you?

“You can send him back,” Willie said. “If you look at the (Habs’) opportunities. He was on the ice for the goal they scored. You have to be able to defend. “But I do think he¹s getting better defending. “If he was absolutely awful on his D, even if he was scoring it wouldn’t matter. “How do you play a guy if he can’t defend? You can’t play him late in a game. “But his defending has been OK. He hasn’t been bad at defending.” WHAT WE LEARNED Head coach Willie Desjardins loves his No. 1 goalies. Everyone probably should have known this already, especially after

he pinned Jacob Markstrom to the bench late last year, just a couple of months before he became the team’s goalie of the future. Desjardins said he considered starting Richard Bachman in the first of back-to-back games against Dallas, his former team. But he was also concerned about losing a point that could cost the Canucks in the playoff race. Before the game, he sure sounded like a coach who was going to start Miller again Friday in Arizona. Miller was terrific, and it’s hard to see the coach looking at the big picture when it could mean another win. IN A WORD REVIEW: Sure seems like it’s time

ADVANCED STATS Minus-12: This was Jared McCann’s shot attempt differential. Just a few hours after the coach said he had to get it done defensively to stick around, the 19-year-old was on the ice for the most shot attempts against. Plus-10: This was Ben Hutton’s even strength shot-attempt differential. He may have quietly just had his best game as a Canuck. He is such a great skater and seemed to really fit playing with Yannick Weber. 53.85%: This was Jake Virtanen’s Corsi rating, or the percentage of shot attempts the Canucks had when he was on the ice. He had a really nice game until late in the third. 83.3%: This was Virtanen’s offensive zone start percentage. It means he had most of his face-offs in the offensive zone. Clearly, Desjardins was trying to protect him, putting him in a position to succeed.

MLB

Blue Jays GM rejects contract offer, leaves the team NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

Less than a week after coming within one inning of forcing Game 7 in the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays have parted ways with chief architect Alex Anthopoulos. He rejected a five-year contract extension from the club, saying Thursday the decision was “solely mine.” “I just didn’t feel like this was the right fit for me going forward,” he told a conference call. “Not an easy one obviously. Everyone knows how I feel about the organization, the city, the country. It’s hard. It’s hard to leave the staff. But I just thought

ANTHOPOULOS

this was the right thing for me at this time.” Outgoing Jays president Paul Beeston, an unabashed backer of Anthopoulos, said in a statement that Anthopoulos had “reluctantly and

regrettably” decided not to return. But Anthopoulos insisted he was treated well in the negotiations by both the club and incoming president Mark Shapiro, who will replace the retiring Beeston next week. Unlike Beeston, Shapiro is a president immersed in the baseball side — and one who clearly has his own views on how to run a club. Reports suggested Shapiro and Anthopoulos weren’t on the same page. “Mark gave me every opportunity to return, he was sincere in wanting me back,” said Anthopoulos. “I had great discussions with him and great dialogue. And I can say the same thing for ownership.” Anthopoulos said he doesn’t have

another job lined up. He took over as Toronto’s GM in 2009 after J.P. Ricciardi was fired, a promotion from assistant GM. The Montreal native earned kudos for a string of moves this season that produced a thrilling 93-69 campaign and a return to the playoffs after 22 years. Fans across the country followed the Jays’ wild post-season run. In a city where success on the sporting front has been few and far between, Thursday’s divorce was shocking in the wake of that playoff success. The sudden news also comes during the World Series, a time where Major League Baseball usually likes to keep the focus on the field. Anthopoulos, 38, turned down a

five-year contract extension, apparently because of a difference in vision with incoming president Mark Shapiro, a former Cleveland Indians executive who is replacing the retiring Beeston. The departure comes less than a month after travelling Blue Jays fans chanted “Thank You Alex” as he watched the Jays clinch the AL East pennant in Baltimore. “Alex has done a terrific job as GM of the Blue Jays over the past six seasons, and we would have loved it if he stayed with the club,” Edward Rogers, chairman of the Toronto Blue Jays, said in a separate statement. “Like the fans, we too are disappointed he has chosen not to accept our five-year contract offer.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The man-child on the mound was simply getting some work in, two simulated innings to keep sharp for the World Series. It was late afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, dimmed by dark clouds on this overcast day in Kansas City, and even his New York Mets teammates wanted no part of 6-foot-6 Noah Syndergaard. David Wright bounded into the batting cage, watched a few fastballs whizz by like pellets fired from a BB gun, and stepped right back out. “How are you supposed to hit that?” he asked buddy Michael Cuddyer. A chuckling group of Mets marveled at Syndergaard’s sizzling cheese the day before the Series opener — but now they’ve placed the heat squarely on their rookie starter. With the National League champs trailing 2-0 in the bestof-seven set, the 23-year-old thunderbolt aptly nicknamed Thor pitches Friday night against Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura. And the Mets know perfectly well they can’t afford to lose. “It’s nice to have Noah going,” second baseman Daniel Murphy said after a 7-1 defeat in Game 2. “We’ll get back to New York and I know the guys will be excited.” The first World Series game at Citi Field features two of the hardest throw-

ers in baseball. Syndergaard’s fastball averaged 97.1 mph during the regular season, the highest velocity of any major leaguer who pitched at least 150 innings, according to STATS. The 24-year-old Ventura ranked third at 96.3 mph. In the NL playoffs, Syndergaard threw 22 pitches at least 100 mph and topped out at 101, STATS said. Ventura can touch the century mark, too.But while Syndergaard certainly brings it, so do Mets aces Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom. And despite their 95-98 mph fastballs, neither one was able to throttle a Royals lineup that’s mastered the lost art of consistently making solid contact. “This team likes the fastball,” said ALCS MVP Alcides Escobar, the aggressive leadoff man who is batting .364 with 12 runs, eight RBIs and seven extra-base hits this post-season. Alex Gordon proved that premise with a tying homer in the ninth inning of Game 1 on a 97 mph quick-pitch from New York closer Jeurys Familia. “We’re always ready for the fastball,” Gordon explained. “Never miss a fastball and adjust to off-speed.” Scolded by Wright in spring training for eating lunch in the clubhouse during an intrasquad game, Syndergaard acknowledged a rookie mistake and agreed he should have been on the bench looking to learn something.

MLS

Whitecaps’ Waston’s got his fuel Vancouver defender has watched replay of a handball last season a thousand times, which is his motivation The semifinals start Sunday with the Caps on the road. Then Vancouver will host its first-ever MLS playoff game on Nov. 8. Times are still to be announced. First-place FC Dallas is awaiting the lowest seeded winner in the other conference semifinal. “The good thing is we close (the semifinal series) at home,” said Waston, who finished fourth in MLS with 193 clearances, second in headed clearances, and second in aerial balls won. “We have to make a very intelligent game away, and we are just waiting for the rival.” Whoever the opponent is, intriguing matchups abound. Waston’s challenge could be to counteract the one-two punch of Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins. Or perhaps he’s in for a punishing physical battle with Portland’s Fanendo Adi. “It will be nice,” Waston said with a grin. “The best thing is that in these games everybody raises up their levels and it’s good for the fans, for us, for everybody.”

MARC WEBER THE PROVINCE

endall Waston says he’s re-watched the harsh and heartbreaking handball call that decided last year’s playoff game at Dallas a thousand times. And if that’s hyperbole, here’s a fact: Waston last watched it on Sunday, before the Caps beat Houston 3-0 at home to clinch second place in the West and earn a bye to the conference semifinals. Bitter moments have a long shelf life as motivation. “I was on the Internet,” Waston said of Sunday’s viewing. “I don’t know why, it showed up.” Yes, that tends to happen when you type “Waston handball Dallas” into YouTube’s search bar. Or maybe he’s just got it bookmarked. Waston says he can laugh about the 82nd-minute call now. The one that referee Mark Geiger made to put Dallas on the penalty spot and the one that broke a 1-1 deadlock and knocked the Caps out of the playoffs 90 minutes after they’d begun. But clearly that call can still offer fuel for the fire. Waston went out and scored the 2-0 goal against Houston, heading in a second-half corner. In the playoffs, the Caps will need that kind of hunger from their hulking centre-back in both boxes. And if helps to revisit the past a couple more times before kickoff, so be it. Heck, his teammates might even want to text him the link. “That was a hard one because we were expecting to go past that game,”

Vancouver Whitecap Kendall Waston, right, shoves Dallas’s Tesho Akindele off the ball last August. A year ago, the Whitecaps were knocked out of the playoffs by Dallas when Waston was called for a handball. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Waston said of last year’s playoff defeat. “After that call, I was feeling so angry. I almost wanted to explode. But sometimes, you can’t do nothing about it. “I’m just looking forward to leaving those things behind. Have that little memory, and that little feeling that you feel when you (are knocked out

of the playoffs), to not feel it now.” Waston and the Caps — 16-13-5 during the regular season and tied for the best defensive record in MLS — are awaiting their Western Conference semifinal opponent this week. If the third-place Portland Timbers beat sixth-place Sporting Kansas City

at Providence Park on Thursday (7 p.m., TSN1), then the Caps will face Portland in the two-leg semifinal. If Kansas City beats Portland, then the Caps will face the fourth-place Seattle Sounders, who beat the fifthplace L.A. Galaxy 3-2 on Wednesday night at CenturyLink Field.

YELLOWS WIPED CLEAN Kendall Waston, who doesn’t seem to have much luck with referees, was tied for the second-most yellow cards in MLS this season with 11. Montreal’s Marco Donadel led the way with 13. Cards are wiped clean after the regular season, although two yellows during the playoffs will result in a one-game ban.

CFL

Ricky Ray will battle emotions in start against Lions DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — On the outside, Ricky Ray will be calm as usual. But inside, he’ll be anything but. Ray will make his season debut as the Toronto Argonauts’ starter on Friday when they host the B.C. Lions at Rogers Centre. The 36-year-old quarterback spent the first half of the year recovering from off-season shoulder surgery before returning as Trevor Harris’s backup. Harris led Toronto (9-7) to a playoff berth, but the offence has struggled recently, especially in last week’s 34-2 loss to the Montreal Alouettes. Ray, in his 13th CFL season, said he’ll experience a myriad of emotions against B.C. That includes being nervous before the opening kickoff, something he feels before every game even after more than a decade in pro football. “You never know what’s going to happen, you want to play well and make sure you’re going to make good decisions and help your team win,” he said. “I’m going to feel all

RAY

the emotions that you normally go through like excitement, being a little nervous. “You’re going to face adversity during the game, you’re going to be a little bit down and then do some good things and be back up. It’s definitely a roller-coaster of emotions and I’m just looking forward to feeling that again.” Chasing his 100th career win as a starter to tie Matt Dunigan for No. 7 all-time, Ray saw his first action of the season against Montreal. He

completed 12-of-15 second-half passes for 107 yards and had a TD strike to Kevin Elliott negated by penalty. “It feels like I got a little bit of pre-season action last week and I’m making my first start of the season this year, which I am,” Ray said. “Usually the first game of the year is everybody’s first game and you can go out there and everybody can feel the same. “Now, I have those feelings and everybody is at the end of their year. For me it’s trying to focus on what I try and do, prepare well and make sure I trust what I see and make good decisions.” Ray added he isn’t concerned about his surgically repair right throwing shoulder. “I had a good week of practice,” he said. “I felt like I was able to be accurate and make the throws that I wanted to.” Ray has battled injuries since coming to Toronto from the Edmonton Eskimos prior to the 2012 season. But Argos head coach Scott Milan-

ovich said Ray has always returned strong. “Ricky just has a quiet calm, confidence about him that I think can be felt,” he said. “I expect him to play well. “I’ve got to remind myself he hasn’t played much, but he’s had a history of coming back off injuries and long delays and playing well.” Ray’s return could be good news for veteran slotback Chad Owens, who has 51 catches this year after threestraight campaigns of 85 or more receptions. “Ricky and Chad have something kind of special,” Milanovich said. “It remains me a lot of what AC (former Montreal star quarterback Anthony Calvillo) had with (Ben) Cahoon.” Toronto must win one of its final two regular-season games — it hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Nov. 6 — to have a shot at second in the East Division and a home playoff date in the conference semifinal. B.C. (6-10) also has plenty to play for. The Lions are battling Montreal (6-10) and Winnipeg (5-11) for the

third West Division playoff berth. “When you play a team like Montreal last week that has to win to keep its season alive, this week B.C., has to win to keep its season alive, you have to find ways to match that intensity,” Milanovich said. “I don’t think we did that last week and we’re going to need to do that (Friday) night.” Toronto’s offensive line will be bolstered by the return of starters Greg Van Roten (guard) and Chris Van Zeyl (tackle). Newcomer Phil Bates replaces the suspended Tori Gurley at receiver. Ray, like Harris, is in the final year of his CFL contract and could be auditioning for 2016. But Ray said that’s nothing new either. “You’re always auditioning,” he said. “I feel like every time you get a chance to play you’re out there proving yourself and trying to help the team out and earn the respect of your players and coaches. “That’s your mindset every time you step on the field.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Duncan’s Jerod Dorby hopes to take the next step this season VIU Mariners forward was a second-team all-star last season, wants to be more of a threat SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

fter a season in which he was named a second-team all-star, Duncan’s Jerod Dorby wants to do more this time around. “I expect myself to be more of a leader this year,” said Dorby, a sixfoot-seven forward with the Vancouver Island University Mariners men’s basketball team. “The past two years, I’ve been kind of a quiet, low key guy. But I plan to be on the court, loud.” Dorby, a graduate of Cowichan Secondary School, will get a chance to make himself known when the Mariners open their season tonight at 8 p.m. against the Camosun Chargers at VIU. It’s the start of a new season for Mariners, who are defending PacWest conference champions and national silver medallists. “The whole team is super excited,” Dorby said. “We’re excited to finally play and be together on the court.” Dorby took a major step forward in his development last season, averaging 11 points and 6.33 rebounds per game in the starting lineup in his sophomore year. The biggest improvement, he said, was his court awareness. “On defence, I know my position, on offence I know where to be and how to get there,” Dorby said. But this year, he wants to be more of a threat on the court and be able to guard any of the league’s big men. “I want people to see me and to know that I’m a threat on offence,” he said, “and to know I’m a stand-up guy on defence.” Mariners head coach Matt Kuzmin-

VIU Mariners forward Jerod Dorby, of Duncan, defends a teammate during practice on Thursday. [SCOTT MCKENZIE/DAILY NEWS]

“When he’s healthy and playing well, I think he’s the best big man in our league.“ Matt Kuzminski, head coach

ski can see the potential Dorby shows as he steps into his third year of college basketball. All he needs to do is stay healthy. “He’s a guy that, when he’s healthy and playing well, I think he’s the best big man in our league,” said Kuzminski, the reigning national coach of the year. “He hasn’t been healthy this year so far, he’s been in and out of practice, so he’s still trying to get up to speed.”

When the Mariners begin their season tonight, they’ll do so with a bitter taste in their mouths after losing in the national championship game in February. They’re not talking about it, but Kuzminski can sense it in fifth-year senior guard Jason Fortin’s attitude. “We don’t talk about last year much, we’re trying to live in this year,” Kuzminski said. “But especially with Jason in his final year, there’s really nothing but business about him. “He’s been a great leader, making sure the intensity is up in practice all the time. We’re really lucky to have him with what his approach to this season has been.” Although only one player graduated last season from the VIU squad —

first-team all-star guard Harrison Stupich — there was still plenty of turnover. All-Canadian forward Justin King left after one year to pursue a pro career in Australia, while point guard Kadeem Stewart is no longer with the program. But American guard Chris Parker is back and likely steps into a starting role this season, and will be joined by U.S. imports Josh Ross and John Thompson, who both transfered to play for VIU in the offseason. The Mariners also added Victoria guard Kaz Kobayashi, who played for Camosun last season. Despite the turnover, Kuzminski said they have an idea of what their identity will be. “Offensively, when we move the ball with our passers and our skill players, I think we could be one of our better offensive teams that we’ve had here in a long time,” he said. “I think we have a lot of defensive potential, but we’re still trying to figure out some of the fundamentals — our jobs, and making sure we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing. We’re needing to improve in that area.” But the Mariners will still be one of the favourites to finish atop the PacWest standings, and the players can see the potential they have. “I think the potential is really high,” Dorby said. “It was a tough start trying to get chemistry back, but we’re finally clicked in, and I feel like we’re going to give other teams a good challenge.” Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Bucs hand Generals eighth straight loss DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo Buccaneers captain Jordan Levesque scored two goals and added two assists as his team handed the Oceanside Generals their eighth straight loss, 6-1, in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action Thursday night. Levesque, the Bucs’ all-time scoring leader, scored his first goal late in the first period to put his team up 3-0, and his second came early in the third as Nanaimo took a 4-0 lead. His four-point night puts him in a tie for third place in the VIJHL scoring race, eight points behind league leader Cody Hodges of the Victoria Cougars. Will McNamara, Trent Bell, Billy Walters and Owen Dalman also scored for the Bucs, who have posted 12 goals in their last two games. Jake Calverley and Will Koop

finished with two assists each. Cam Nickerson scored the only Oceanside goal when he beat Nanaimo goalie Liam Young in the back half of the second period on a powerplay. Young, though, made 28 saves on 29 Oceanside shots. The Bucs win, their second in a row after beating the Westshore Wolves 6-3 the previous night on the road, gives them sole possession of first place in the VJHL North Division — two points ahead of the Campbell River Storm, who have two games in hand. The Bucs are also one point back of the league-leading Cougars, who have played one fewer game. They’re next in action on Saturday night when they travel to play the Kerry Park Islanders before returning home Thursday to host the Islanders at the Nanaimo Ice Centre at 7:15 p.m.

NHL

Coaches up to the challenge with new rule Ability to challenge some calls has been making a difference that the league’s bench bosses say is positive “I think with all major sports, part of it is human error . . . That’s life. That’s hockey. That’s sports.“

JOHN WAWROW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

an Bylsma is a big supporter of the NHL’s decision to introduce coaching challenges this season. It makes no difference to the Buffalo Sabres’ firstyear coach that the new rule cost his team in its season-opening game. The Sabres became the NHL’s second team to have a goal disallowed as a result of a challenge in a 3-1 loss to Ottawa on Oct. 8. That’s when Evander Kane’s wrap-around goal that would have tied the game at 2 was disallowed after a video review showed forward Zemgus Girgensons was a hair offside when Buffalo entered the zone. “It was the right call,” Girgensons said following the game. “Someday, it’s going to go for us.” Bylsma said it was a “fantastic” result. “It goes against us, but I think it’s worked great,” he said. Getting it right is what the NHL was counting upon when it joined the NFL and Major League Baseball in allowing coaches to challenge calls. NHL coaches can challenge goals based on whether the play was offside or there was goalie interference. The coach can challenge only if he hasn’t used his timeout. And the challenge is not necessary in the final minute of the third period or overtime, when the league takes over all reviews. “I think it’s worked well,” said

allowed because replays showed Jay Beagle interfered with goalie Martin Jones. “I think at that point, it maybe took a little out of our sail,” Capitals defenceman John Carlson said. Though they’re called coaching challenges, much of the responsibility lies on assistants to recommend whether to have a play reviewed. In Buffalo, Bylsma uses his headset to consult with three assistants in the press box to determine whether to use his challenge. Toronto coach Mike Babcock credited assistant coach Andrew Brewer for making the call on having a Montreal goal overturned because of goalie interference in the Maple Leafs’ season-opening 3-1 loss. Sabres defenceman Josh Gorges understands what the NHL is seeking to accomplish in a bid to get calls right. His only concern is whether the league might expand challenges to review other plays. “I hope we don’t go too far down that road. I mean, they’ll be reviewing every whistle,” Gorges said. “I think with all major sports, part of it is human error. ... That’s life. That’s hockey. That’s sports.” Murphy said there are no plans to expand what plays can be challenged. “You want to use video replay to get egregious plays, not close calls where it’s 50-50,” Murphy said. “(Coaches) can live with some of the close plays that happen in our sport. It’s what make our sport so great. It travels so fast.”

Mike Murphy, NHL vice-president of hockey operations. “The reason we instituted it was so that we could get the egregious calls particularly right, ones that everybody alive sees and says, ‘This is the wrong call, it’s a screw-up.”’ There have been fewer screw-ups three weeks into the season: Of the 15 goals challenged through Wednesday, only four have been reversed

— three for goalie interference and Girgensons’ offside. An Associated Press review found that eight of the 15 challenges have been made when the game is tied and just four when a team is trailing. Eight of the 15 challenges have been used in the second period, and just three in the third. Teams that challenge a call have a 5-9-1 record. Successful challenges

have resulted in teams going 2-2. An unexpected offshoot is how coaches have adapted to using challenges even when they’re not certain the call will be reversed. Rather than using their 30-second timeout to settle players and slow an opponent’s momentum, coaches are using the challenge to take advantage of the extended two- to three-minute break it takes for plays to be reviewed. Sharks coach Peter DeBoer used his challenge for such a reason after Kings forward Jeff Carter scored to put Los Angeles up 3-0 early in the second period. The goal counted, but the Sharks scored next in a 4-1 loss on Oct. 22. “At that point it was a long shot,” DeBoer said. “I was going to call a timeout, so that was my thought process.” Murphy is fine with coaches using that strategy, noting teams lose their timeout if the challenge fails. DeBoer is 1-2 on challenges, with his successful one having an impact in San Jose’s 5-0 win over Washington on Oct. 13. The Capitals had cut the lead to 3-1 midway through the second period, but the goal was dis-

FIGURE SKATING

Chan returns with a different outlook LORI EWING THE CANADIAN PRESS

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — Patrick Chan first laced on figure skates nearly 18 years ago, and the sport has thoroughly dominated his life ever since. So when the three-time world champion decided to launch a comeback after a season away — a jam-packed year of sky diving, snorkelling and snowboarding, all the things he couldn’t do while competing — he vowed to do things differently. Chan marks his return Friday at Skate Canada International, his first major event since his heartbreaking silver at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Among the changes the 24-year-old has made: no training on weekends. “Just skate Monday to Friday, and really give it every day of the week 100 per cent and not have to dread skating on weekends and feeling tired from one week to the next. Now I feel rested and motivated and energized when I get to the rink on Monday,” Chan said Thursday. “So little things like that.

CHAN

Kathy (Johnston, his coach) suggested I do that the year of Sochi, but I chose to do what I’d always done. As a child and as a teenager, I trained that way, I wanted to stick to it. But now that I’m almost 25 I really wanted to try something new, start fresh, take a year off, come back and really (treat it) like a clean slate.” The figure skating world will be watching this week as Chan faces Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu, who knocked off the Canadian favourite for Olympic gold. This is their first meeting since Sochi, and Japan has sent 35

journalists to the Enmax Centre to report on their rematch. Because he hasn’t been competing, Chan will skate in the first flight, rather than the last flight with the top-ranked skaters. He practised with the first group Thursday, including Nam Nguyen, the 17-year-old from Toronto who has grown nearly a foot since Chan last competed against him at the 2014 Canadian championships. Chan’s practice was solid. He doubled his planned quad jump in his program run-through, but went through that segment again, landing a beautiful quad-triple combination. Chan skated on several show tours during his hiatus. He said he started feeling a void not long into his break. The decision to come back quickly seemed like the right one. “I’d find myself at home and having a lot of time on my hands, and sometimes when I didn’t have stuff planned, I missed the training environment, I missed my friends at the rink,” he said. “I missed the

order I had every day. I’d wake up at the same time. It gets boring after a while but honestly I probably needed six months and then I wanted to get back into it. “So I think that was the first good sign that I wanted to come back and wanted to train again.” He’s kept an eye on Hanyu, a superstar in Japan since his Olympic victory. The 20-year-old, who trains in Toronto with Brian Orser, won the Grand Prix Final last season and finished second behind Spain’s Javier Fernandez at the world championships. “For me, it’s great,” Chan said. “I get to come back as a new, rejuvenated person, and compete again and feel rested and motivated to compete again. Which is not how I felt last time I competed against (Hanyu). “Now I feel like things will be different. Whether it’s at this event, or (Grand Prix) Final, or at worlds, I don’t know. But every competition I come to, I’ll give it my best, 100 per cent, and if he’s here or not, it’s going to be the same.” The event marks a comeback for Kaetlyn Osmond as well.

Brady throws four TD passes, Patriots improve to 7-0 ROB MAADDI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even when they look sluggish, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots still dominate. Brady threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two to Julian Edelman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 36-7 on Thursday night to become the first of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five unbeaten teams to reach seven wins.

Stephen Gostkowski broke Adam Vinatieriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise record for consecutive field goals by connecting from 52 and 36 yards to make it 26 in a row. Rob Gronkowski had 113 yards receiving and a touchdown, and Dion Lewis had 93 yards receiving and one score. The loss was the first for Miami (3-4) under interim coach Dan Campbell. The Dolphins scored 82 points in wins over the lowly Titans and Texans in Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two

games after replacing Joe Philbin. But they were completely overmatched against the defending Super Bowl champions. It could be an even bigger loss for the Dolphins because four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake was carted off the field with an Achilles tendon injury. The Patriots are 7-0 for the second time in franchise history and first time since going 16-0 in 2007. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scored at least 28 points in

every game and 30 or more in six straight. A week after setting an NFL record with 25 straight completions, Ryan Tannehill had a rough night against New England. He threw two interceptions and no TDs. Brady connected with Gronkowski for a 47-yard scoring pass on the opening drive, but the Patriots managed a total of 65 yards on their next five possessions. They went up 9-0 on a safety after centre Mike Pouncey snapped the

ball before Tannehill was ready on a third down from the 9. Then Brady got going in the 2-minute offence. He completed all four of his passes for 59 yards on a scoring drive that was capped by a 16-yard toss to Lewis for a 19-0 lead. Tannehill led the Dolphins into the end zone to start the second half with Lamar Miller scoring on a oneyard run. But the Patriots took control in the fourth quarter.

26 DIVERSIONS BLONDIE

@NanaimoDaily

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tension surrounds others in your day-today life. You mean well, and people sense that quality in you. Don’t sell yourself short. Know that a loved one’s nerves might be frayed, and use your intuition and sensitivity with him or her. Tonight: Have a last-minute chat about Halloween. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be aware of how indulgence plays into your budget. Someone who benefits from your generosity could be manipulating you to get more. Learn how to say “no” more. You could be inspired by a pal to do something very different this Halloween. Tonight: Let the good times roll. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not be evoking the response you desire from a loved one. Manipulation won’t work. You also could be missing important facts. A boss or parent demands an inordinate amount of your attention. Make it your pleasure. Tonight: Out on the town. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Maintain a low profile. You’ll need to gather your strength for the weekend. You could be heading to Halloween celebrations or getting a costume ready. Be sensitive to someone’s request. Make it OK to say “no,” as you might be off-kilter. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Zero in on a friendship. You could find that there is an element about this person that encourages you to

BABY BLUES

WORD FIND

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2015

overindulge. Rein in your self-discipline if need be. A partner or loved one will be unusually seductive. Tonight: Let a friend lure you into his or her Halloween plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others often talk about their expectations but do nothing. You might want to challenge them. When you’re in a leadership position, you know how to encourage people. Manifest those skills, and add a touch of personality. Tonight: The party could go till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Investigate the possibilities rather than nix anyone’s idea. In fact, a suggestion that seems far out of left field could prove to be a gift when you start working with it. Your inner voice might be pushing you in a certain direction. Listen to it. Tonight: Try a new spot. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be intrigued by a loved one’s plans. Friends seem to pull you into an unrelated realm, but you will enjoy the diversity. Expect the unexpected, or you could be wary without knowing why. Tonight: You choose where and with whom you want to be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to a partner who is more social than you are. You could be all over the map about an issue, whereas this person is not. Focus on what is ailing you. Don’t forget what is happening with a family member. You can’t just ignore this issue. Tonight: Follow the gang. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. An adviser or friend might present the facts in a

new light, which is likely to open up a new door. You could be surprised by a new path that you had not yet considered. Tonight: Hang out with great friends and a few goblins. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Creativity surges with each imaginative comment, suggestion or plan you come up with. Your friends and family will delight in brainstorming with you. Drop the word “impossible” from your vocabulary. You will be happier as a result. Tonight: Use your imagination. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Sometimes you simply are not in the mood to deal with pressure. How you deal with these moments can have a long-term effect on your relationships. Tension mounts, despite your efforts. Erase negative thoughts and see what happens. Tonight: Dress up like a couch potato.

MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrice Bernier, Ignacio Piatti and Didier Drogba scored in the first half as the Montreal Impact downed Toronto FC 3-0 in the knockout round of the Major League Soccer playoffs on Thursday night. The Impact will play host to the Columbus Crew in the opening leg of a two-game, total goals Eastern Conference semifinal on Sunday. The first MLS playoff game between two Canadian sides became a one-sided dud when Montreal dominated the first half and shut down TFC the rest of the way. Montreal earned home-field advantage for the knockout round with a 2-1 win over TFC on Sunday at Saputo Stadium. It gave the club third place in the conference and dropped Toronto to sixth. TFC was in its first trip to the MLS playoffs, while Montreal played itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first home post-season game after losing a knockout round game 3-0 in Houston in 2013. A boisterous crowd of 18,069, including MLS commissioner Don Garber, saw Montreal come out with high energy from the outset and put TFC on their heels. Bernier, who found new life and more playing time when Mauro Biello replaced Frank Klopas as coach in August, opened the scoring in the 18th minute on a counterattack. Piatti sent Bernier in alone for a side foot shot past Chris Konopka.

Final game has all the makings of a classic STEVE DOUGLAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The two best teams in the tournament. Nos. 1 and 2 in the world. Archrivals. Neighbours. Records at stake. The Rugby World Cup may just have its perfect final. At the end of a tournament dominated by the southern hemisphere, New Zealand and Australia have proved the most durable and incisive over the six weeks, and the trans-Tasman rivals head to Twickenham on Saturday bidding to win rugbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandest prize for a record third time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fourth time they have each reached the final but they have never met there, adding to the sense of occasion for one of the biggest events in sports. Rugby World Cup finals have tended to be tight, tense games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 2011 final finished 8-7 and two of the previous four didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain a try â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but this showpiece promises to be different, with both sides preferring an expansive game and the weather in London forecast to be dry and an unseasonal 20 degrees (68 F). The All Blacks have proved they can counter any style, any weather condition, and almost every opponent by losing just three of their 53 games since lifting the Webb Ellis Cup four years ago on home soil. They are in the conversation for the best team in the professional era (since 1996) and rightly start as favourites, as they seek to become the first team to retain the title, and win the World Cup abroad for the first time. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been none of the nerves, stress and injury problems that accompanied the team and its rugby-mad public in 2011, when they ended a cavernous 24-year wait for the cup. The All Blacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performances were professional but inconsistent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by their high standards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the pool stage, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mixed flair and resilience to beat France (62-13) and South Africa (20-18) in the knockout stage, and their 36 tries is easily a tournament high. Coach Steve Hansen has his best players fit, his team is on a World Cup-record 13-match winning run, and how New Zealand would love to give the perfect send-off to captain Richie

McCaw, flyhalf Dan Carter, hooker Keven Mealamu, centres Conrad Smith and Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Nonu, and injured prop Tony Woodcock â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five of them test centurions who are all likely to be playing their last matches in the All Black jersey. It is that experience that Hansen believes will be a telling factor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have got experience and that experience is in good form,â&#x20AC;? Hansen says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that is a massive advantage.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every game is like a finalâ&#x20AC;? is an increasingly used phrase in sports, but it holds true for Australia in this tournament. Drawn in the toughest ever World Cup pool, the Wallabies have been playing knockout rugby since meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and beating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; England and Wales in their final two group games. They scraped past Scotland in the quarterfinals, ultimately because of a refereeing error, and picked off Argentina in the semis last weekend. The final will be the Wallabiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fifth straight match at Twickenham and the neutrals may just be on their side, hoping for a close match, with New Zealand having only lost one of the last 12 meetings with their neighbours. That, however, came in the deciding match of the Rugby Championship in August, and the 27-19 win in Sydney will give the Wallabies confidence that the All Blacks juggernaut can be stopped. It was in that match that Australia played openside flankers David Pocock and Michael Hooper together for the first time, and they caused carnage at the breakdown, as they have ever since. It is this area where the Wallabies will likely have a distinct edge on Saturday. Pocock, playing at No. 8, is averaging 3.5 turnovers a game in the tournament. This time last year, Michael Cheika had just been hired as coach of the Wallabies and they went on to lose three of their four November tests in Europe. The transformation in 12 months has been incredible, to the point where they are 80 minutes from landing a third World Cup title on British soil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after 1991 and 1999. They have 23 All Blacks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including arguably the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest ever player in McCaw â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a wily coach standing in their way.

CRISIS TIME Sandra Bullock stars as Jane on the satirical comedy ‘Our Brand is Crisis’ [AP PHOTO]

Bullock digs into a meaty role Our Brand is Crisis STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Anthony Mackie, Billy Bob Thornton DIRECTOR: David Gordon Green PLAYING AT: Avalon Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 107 minutes

JOCELYN NOVECK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

hey say timing is everything — or at least a whole lot. And on several fronts, the George Clooney-produced Our Brand is Crisis, starring Sandra Bullock as a damaged, ruthless political consultant, has absolutely perfect timing. First, it’s election season: Enough said! And second, with all the recent discussion about the need for more diverse, open-minded casting, here’s a role that was originally written for a man. And happily, in retrospect, the role seems like it SHOULD have been written for a woman — for Bullock, in fact. It’s a thornier, meatier role than she’s had in a while, one that allows her to use her well-honed comic chops while also digging deeper into a complicated, very flawed character. As for the film itself, directed by David Gordon Green, it’s undeniably entertaining, but a conundrum. At times, it seems like a funny and penetrating political satire along the lines of Veep on HBO. (Check out the amusing llama scene. Yes, we said llama.) At others, it’s trying to be a much weightier morality tale (It’s

This photo provided by Warner Bros. Pictures shows, Sandra Bullock as Jane and Billy Bob Thornton as Pat Candy, in Warner Bros. Pictures and Participant Media’s satirical comedy “Our Brand Is Crisis,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release. The movie opens in U.S. theaters on Oct. 30. [WARNER BROS. PICTURES VIA AP]

based on — or rather “suggested by” Rachel Boynton’s 2005 documentary of the same name). At moments, these two aims mesh well enough; at others, the zig-zag effect is jarring. Bullock is Jane Bodine, otherwise known as Calamity Jane, famous for winning elections at any cost. “The truth is what I tell the electorate the truth is,” she likes to say. When we first meet Jane, she’s retired from the down-and-dirty world of politics, having been felled by a scandal involving the violation

of election laws. She’s living in the boondocks somewhere, making pottery. She doesn’t drink or smoke anymore, and says she can finally look herself in the eye. But, like the proverbial wizened former cop brought in for one last case, Jane is convinced to join the campaign of a failing candidate in Bolivia. It’s good money, but the real reason she agrees is that an old nemesis, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton, channeling James Carville — who actually

did work on the 2002 Bolivian election) is already down there working for the opposition. These two are warriors to the death. Arriving in La Paz, Jane confronts a candidate who is standoffish, elitist, and 28 points behind (Portuguese actor Joaquim de Almeida is perfect for the role, and will be readily recognized by fans of 24). After some initial sluggishness (and slapsticky altitude sickness) her competitive juices kick in. Observers of U.S. politics will rec-

ognize every lesson learned here; When Pat seeks to exploit Jane’s candidate’s short temper, resulting in the candidate punching a man, Jane stops her team from crafting an apology, and frames the punch as a sign of his no-crap approach. It’s classic spin. Jane gets her guy to doff his suit jacket and roll up his sleeves. His poll numbers rise. “Our brand,” Jane tells the team, “is crisis.” Convince voters they’re in crisis, and tell them how you’re gonna save them. The backdrop is the contentious relationship between Jane and Pat. While their byplay is entertaining, it’s also frustrating. We don’t learn enough about the background; it would help to know more, and sooner. It all ends with the election, of course, but a subplot involving an idealistic young volunteer (appealing Bolivian actor Reynaldo Pacheo) keeps the film honest, as it were, with an ending aimed at making us wonder what it all was for in the first place. An excellent supporting cast includes Anthony Mackie and the terrific Ann Dowd as fellow consultants. Yet it all rests on Bullock. She’s fun to watch. Check out her priceless final remark in that llama scene. Her brand is Bullock, and it works pretty well. “Our Brand Is Crisis,” a Warner Bros release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language including some sexual references.” Running time: 107 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

ADVICE

Mother-in-law’s behaviour simply outrageous our perennials and trellises and took the picnic table and hoses -- anything she could get off the property. She left a huge mess, and I had to pay someone to clean it up. She wouldn’t stop, so I finally called law enforcement. Now members of the family have labelled me “psycho” because I filed a complaint, but the local police haven’t done anything. Mom continues to arrive at showings and claims she is the caretaker. What can I do to stop this woman without breeding more ill will? — Fed-Up Psycho

Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 20 years. After the kids were grown, we decided to downsize. We put our home on the market and moved to a different state. My husband’s mother did not want us to move. She started interfering with the real estate office that was showing our house. She was given written warnings to stay away from the property. She then stripped all

Dear Fed Up: Your mother-in-law’s behaviour is outrageous. Where is your husband in all this? He should

quite firmly inform his mother that her punitive and destructive actions must stop immediately or she risks estrangement from his family. It is obvious that she is so frightened and upset by your departure that she believes her only recourse is sabotage. You both need to reassure her that living elsewhere will not keep you from calling, writing and visiting often. If she is incapable of adjusting, however, suggest she get professional help. It sounds like she could use it.

to understand. Ella told me she’s thought about cutting herself. She is usually a bright and cheery person, so this came as a shock. I can’t help thinking that maybe I never knew the real girl. She absolutely refuses to talk to her parents because she dislikes them. To me they seem like great parents, but I don’t live in her house. What should I do? I don’t want to let Ella down in her time of need. — Trying To Understand

Dear Annie: I am a 15-year-old freshman. My best friend, “Ella,” recently told me she is constantly depressed. She said she’s tired of living behind a mask and wants people

Dear Trying: If Ella won’t talk about this with her parents, encourage her to talk to the school counselor, a favorite teacher or another trusted adult. Suggest she get some

exercise. It boosts endorphin levels and could make her feel better. You are a good friend to care about Ella’s mental health. Both of you can get more information through the teens site at kidshealth.org. You also should discuss this with your own parents so they can help you work on it.

VIU graduate launches her first book, ‘As I rise’ Nov. 3 FOR THE DAILY NEWS

At age 81, Vancouver Island University liberal studies graduate Gisèle Merlet is proudly launching her first book As I Rise, a collection of linked short stories set in Montreal, the south of France, Guatemala, and Vancouver Island. The launch takes place at VIU’s Nanaimo campus on Nov. 3 (12:30 p.m.) in the auditorium of Building 355. “I found my niche,” says Merlet, who’s the epitome of a student who embraces life-long learning. She earned a liberal studies degree in 2005, and is completing classes that could earn her a second degree in creative writing next year. The collection is in three parts and follows heroine Carmen and her husband Alain through their respective childhoods, union in Quebec, and family and business on the West Coast. Proceeds from the sale of As I Rise ($10) will finance a new scholarship the Gisele Merlet Award for a creative writing student who shows great promise in fiction. “It was never my intention to write

a book,” says Merlet, “but one of my favourite professors, Joy Gugeler, made me believe I could do it.” “Gisele has been infectiously engaged, and so willing to consider gentle editorial suggestions. I know that she has the respect and admiration of all of her peers, many amazed at how she has boldly pushed herself to add book author to her growing list of impressive achievements,” says Gugeler. Like her character, Merlet has demonstrated incredible resilience and strength of spirit. “Attitude is very important, and a good sense of humour helps,” says Merlet. “The university has been absolutely wonderful. I want to be here. Going to school keeps your mind active and keeps you young,” she says. “It also makes you more tolerant. I had classmates with blue hair who were covered in tattoos. For me, this was a big life lesson.” As a young girl, Merlet longed “to do incredible things” so after meeting her second husband Jean, a French chef, they ran the popular Ma Maison restaurant in Parksville for 16 years as well

Halle Berry files for divorce

Taylor Swift files a counterclaim

Halle Berry has amended her divorce filing from actor Olivier Martinez, this time using their real names. The Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce on Monday using the names “Hal Maria” and “Oliver Martin,” but her new filing Wednesday lists their legal names. Martinez filed his own divorce petition on Tuesday, hours after the couple issued a joint statement confirming they were getting divorced. Aside from listing their legal names, Berry’s new petition lists the same details. She cites irreconcilable differences for the breakup and states the pair has a prenuptial agreement and the actors should share the costs of raising their 2-year-old son equally. Both actors are seeking joint custody. Berry’s attorney, Stephen Kolodny, did not return a message Wednesday about why the divorce was initially filed using false names.

Taylor Swift filed a counterclaim Wednesday against a former Denver radio host who sued her after he said he

Actor accused of punching man An actor on the soap opera Days of Our Lives was arrested in suburban Phoenix after trying to punch a bartender at a hotel bar, authorities said Wednesday. Casey Moss, 21, is facing charges of assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, Scottsdale police spokesman Kevin Watts said. The hotel called police around 12:30 a.m. Monday, reporting an intoxicated Moss tried to hit a bartender for refusing to serve him more alcohol and shoved another person. He then yelled and cursed at employees, police said. An officer handcuffed Moss and tried to escort him outside. When asked for his name, Moss allegedly yelled “I’m Casey Moss, and I’m an actor on Days of Our Lives. ” Police said that’s when he struggled with the officer, who took him down. He was transported to Scottsdale Jail but released Tuesday, Watts said. He is scheduled for arraignment Nov. 2 according to Scottsdale city court records. The actor was in town with several co-stars for a book signing at a Tempe bookstore celebrating the NBC show’s 50th anniversary.

Everyone has something to hide in ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Quanticoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Kyla Brewer TV Media

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to have a network TV hit these days, but thanks to a heady mix of intrigue, romance and mystery, freshman ABC thriller â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quanticoâ&#x20AC;? seems to have audiences hooked. In fact, ABC has shown its confidence in the new hit drama by giving the series a full-season pickup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a total of 19 episodes, and possibly more to come. Created by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gossip Girlâ&#x20AC;? writer Joshua Safran, the show follows a group of FBI recruits through their training at the famed FBI Academy. A new episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quanticoâ&#x20AC;? airs Sunday, Nov. 1, on ABC and CTV. In the series premiere in September, New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Central Station had just been hit by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst terrorist attack since 9/11, and new FBI recruit Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fashion,â&#x20AC;? 2008) had been arrested for the crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quanticoâ&#x20AC;? follows Parrishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape and subsequent struggle to prove her innocence, while also using flashbacks to tell the story of her training at the FBI training academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Quanticoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a show where you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust any character. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust Alex,â&#x20AC;? Chopra explained in an ABC press clip. She went on to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is deception. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conspiracy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setups. Even I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen in the end of the show. Even I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who the terrorist is. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to finding out with everyone else.â&#x20AC;? If Parrish was truly framed as she claims, it seems just about everyone else is a suspect in the bombing. At the FBI facility in Quantico, Va., Parrish makes the acquaintance of other new recruits, each of whom seems to have something to hide.

Shelby Wyatt (Johanna Braddy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;UnREALâ&#x20AC;?) is a blonde beauty whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been secretly communicating in Arabic with a mystery caller. Wyattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential love interest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Caleb Haas (Graham Rogers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revolutionâ&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; initially flunked out of the FBI academy, but weaselled his way back in as an intelligence analyst. Yasmine Al Massri (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crossbonesâ&#x20AC;?) does double duty playing twins Nimah and Raina Amin, who are posing as one person, unbeknownst to the other recruits. The twins seem to be of particular interest to Simon Asher (Tate Ellington, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember Me,â&#x20AC;? 2010), a rookie who spent some time in Gaza. Parrishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest rival is Nathalie Vasquez (Anabelle Acosta, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ballersâ&#x20AC;?), who appears to be sporting a fake scar behind her ear. Ryan Booth (Jake McLaughlin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Valley of Elah,â&#x20AC;? 2007) is actually an undercover FBI agent posing as a new recruit so he can keep an eye on Parrish. Booth was planted by Liam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor (Josh Hopkins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cougar Townâ&#x20AC;?), the seasoned FBI agent who oversees the recruits, training under the direction of FBI mentor Miranda Shaw (Aunjanue Ellis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Help,â&#x20AC;? 2011). With increasing competition from cable channels and even streaming services, traditional broadcasters have taken a hit in recent years, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fighting back with high-quality shows like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quantico,â&#x20AC;? and stars like Chopra, who is the first South Asian actress to headline a major American drama. While American audiences may not be familiar with her work, she is an international superstar with more than 40 Bollywood films under her belt. Chopra fell into the acting biz after her mother sent some photos of her to Miss India, which led to her later being crowned Miss World 2000. Her win resulted in a number of movie offers. In an interview with ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Albert Lawrence, the self-proclaimed geek who once intended to become an engineer explained that when opportunity knocked, she answered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been instinctive,â&#x20AC;? said Chopra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever anything comes to me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hmmm, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a chance.â&#x20AC;?
