OTTAWA — Another piece in Justin Trudeau’s pursuit of a more engaged and aggressive Canadian stance on international climate policy fell into place Thursday, but many more remain a mystery. The prime minister announced he’s invited provincial and territorial leaders to Ottawa to discuss Canada’s climate change plans later this month before an international climate conference begins in Paris. Trudeau had previously invited the provincial and territorial leaders to join him at COP21, the UN-sponsored summit that begins Nov. 30 in the French capital, where the international community hopes to complete a framework for post-2020 climate action. Trudeau will meet the premiers Nov. 23, just before departing on an extended trip that will take him to London for an audience with the Queen, then on to Malta for a Commonwealth leaders’ meeting before wrapping up with other international leaders at the Paris climate talks. The Liberal plan has always been to present a united Canadian climate policy to the world, something that has regularly eluded prime ministers going back to Jean Chretien in the 1990s. With provinces holding many of the policy levers on environmental action — and having very different agendas depending on their resource base — getting everyone pulling in the same direction has proved challenging. “We are having a climate briefing by top scientists for the first ministers and for my own cabinet, to be followed by a working dinner with the premiers to exactly discuss the kind of strong and cohesive message we will be delivering as Canadians in Paris at the very important COP21 conference,” Trudeau said Thursday at his second briefing of the parliamentary media in as many weeks. The offices of Premier Christy Clark, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne and Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard confirmed attending the Nov. 23 meeting to The Canadian Press.

Many, many questions remain to be resolved. — Will the Liberals set a national floor price on carbon and, if so, what will it be and how would it be enforced? — Will the Liberals endorse another pipeline project now that their favoured option, the Keystone XL pipeline to the U.S., has been killed by presidential order? — How soon will the Liberals begin to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, as promised in their election platform “over the medium term.” — What will be the level of Canada’s collective ambition in cutting future greenhouse gas emissions? Trudeau’s new government has refused to set a target for cutting GHGs in advance of Paris, but Environment Minister Catherine McKenna did say the existing Conservative-set mark should be considered the floor. Environmental groups have also been hounding the Liberals on pipeline policy, asserting any new pipeline capacity will

boost Alberta oil sands production and undercut credible Canadian action on emissions. And a new report Thursday from a Washington-based environmental advocacy group further fanned the policy flames. The study by Oil Change International asserts that global fossil fuel subsidies amount to US $452 billion annually, of which $78 billion comes as direct government spending and tax breaks. Canada’s subsidies, according to the report, averaged $3.6 billion in Canadian dollars over 2013 and 2014, including just over $2 billion a year from the federal government. On Thursday it was Treasury Board President Scott Brison who was left trying to thread the needle connecting resource extraction and climate action. “We’re all active as a government, and we will be considering what is the case in terms of what subsidies or approaches . . .” said Brison when asked about the fossil fuel subsidy phase-out.

Mobster acquitted in ‘Goodfellas’ heist TOM HAYS AND MICHAEL BALSAMO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — An aging mobster who stayed mostly in the shadows for decades by adhering to the Mafia’s strict code of silence was acquitted Thursday of charges he helped plan a legendary 1978 Lufthansa heist retold in the hit film Goodfellas. A federal jury reached the surprising verdict at a Brooklyn racketeering trial where it heard testimony that portrayed 80-year-old Vincent Asaro as a throwback to an era when New York’s five organized crime families comprised a secret society that committed brazen crimes and settled scores with bloodshed.

Asaro jumped up, pumped his fist and clapped after the verdict. When he walked out of the courthouse, he threw his hands up in the air and hollered: “Free!” “I was shocked, I was really shocked,” Asaro said outside. “I’ve got two years in, and I’m dying to get home.” Asaro, whose father and grandfather were members of the secretive Bonanno crime family, “was born into that life and he fully embraced it,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alicyn Cooley said in closing arguments at his trial. His devotion to the Bonannos “was as permanent as the ’death before dishonour’ tattoo on his arm,” she added. The U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment after the verdict.

The defence accused prosecutors of relying on shady paid co-operators, including Asaro’s cousin Gaspare Valenti. Valenti testified that Asaro drafted him for the Lufthansa heist, telling him, “Jimmy Burke has a big score at the airport coming up, and you’re invited to go.” In the aftermath, Asaro survived a bloodbath portrayed in Goodfellas, with Robert De Niro’s character getting angry over fellow mobsters’ purchases of flashy cars and furs and, fearing they would attract law enforcement attention, having them killed. Prosecutors claimed he collected at least $500,000 from the score but had a gambling problem and squandered it away at the racetrack.

Yellow Point crash victim known as local musician

Schools on alert after threat posted online AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS

Investigation continues into collision that left Heidi Plato, 51, dead ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

The Ladysmith woman who was killed in a two-vehicle collision on Yellow Point Road on Tuesday night has been identified as Heidi Plato. Plato, 51, was a well-known local musician and a member of the Awkward a/c punk band, where she played drums and provided vocals. She was married to Pete Vizvari, who plays guitar in Awkward a/c, and had no children. She leaves behind two sisters and her mother. Dave Read, a friend of Plato and owner of Nanaimo’s Vinyl Record Guru, said she was a “dear friend” and a great lover of music. He said Plato, who was originally from the Prairies, had spent the last 10 years in Nanaimo. Read said Awkward a/c was scheduled to play in Esquimalt this week, but that booking has now turned into a tribute evening for Plato that will see a number of Vancouver Island bands perform. “I’m sure there will be some sort of event to commemorate Heidi in Nanaimo, but it’s just too fresh for us all right now,” Read said.

PLATO

“She was a huge presence in the local music scene and will be missed.” Police, firefighters and paramedics were called at approximately 7:30 p.m. Tuesday evening to the accident in which Plato had received life-threatening injuries and died while being taken to hospital. The second driver, a 39-year-old man, was located an hour later on Cedar Road.

Police arrested him for refusing to provide a breath sample and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. The man sustained soft tissue damage and was taken to hospital and later released. “It is only early in the investigation and considerable investigative work is required before officers will be in a position to consider further charges against the 39-year-old male driver,” said RCMP Const. Gary O’Brien. Both vehicles are to undergo mechanical inspection. Nanaimo RCMP is asking anyone who witnessed the collision to contact their office at 250-754-2345.

Students were not allowed to enter or exit public schools Thursday morning after word of a threat made against the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district. Nanaimo RCMP are investigating a ‘vague’ threat posted to a website that did not mention a municipality or specific school in the district. The post was removed, RCMP forwarded the threat to senior administrators within the school district. The district decided to initiate its ‘hold and secure’ procedure, which differs from a complete lockdown. “It’s business as usual with a hold and secure, the difference being all the perimeter doors are locked, kids are fine inside, nobody is allowed to go outside or inside. The kids are kept inside and business as usual, they continue with their classroom teachings,” said Dale Burgos, director of communications with the district. A lockdown, in the school district’s policy, is when there’s an imminent threat in the area. During a lockdown all students and staff lock themselves inside a classroom and take cover, the school’s perimeter

doors are also locked. The schools perimeter doors were locked from 9 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. “After hearing the information and no specific location being mentioned in Nanaimo or Ladysmith, we had determined it would be best to go on a district wide hold and secure,” Burgos said.

Proponents hold out hope

Optimism still exists in Nanaimo despite failure of Campbell River terminal

anaimo’s cruise industry was a topic that generated a fair bit of buzz at last month’s Vancouver Island Economic Alliance

conference. A panel discussion hosted by the Nanaimo Port Authority was packed with cruise and tourism luminaries both local and international, and delivered to a standing-room-only crowd. Though the tone Julie was upbeat, and Chadwick projections of future cruise traffic Reporting rosy, the elephant in the room was of course Nanaimo’s own costly and under-utilized cruise ship terminal that, by all estimations, has not lived up to its projections. What was also clear, if not explicitly stated, is that Nanaimo is at a crossroads. The failure of the Campbell River terminal looms large in the background. That facility shut down several years ago after ship numbers had dwindled to nothing. However, cruise ship proponents argue there is hope for Nanaimo yet. They hold up municipalities like Prince Rupert, which saw seven vessels this

year, as a working example of how cruise traffic can be lured back after lean years. During the height of its fundraising push, projected numbers for Nanaimo ranged from 25 to 35 cruise ship visits per year. Campbell River estimated that with a cruise industry growth of

seven per cent a year, it would easily get the 10 to 14 ships necessary to break even, and then some. The reality has been much more stark. With more than $40 million invested in both terminals, Nanaimo received three ships this year — after two in 2014 — while

Campbell River saw its usual zero. “It’s a huge gamble, that’s all I can pretty well say,” said Robert Pollard, chief of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation in Campbell River. “I don’t know what a better choice would be, but if we had a choice, we wouldn’t have done the cruise ship (terminal).” Completed in 2007, the Campbell River facility required almost $16 million in public funds to build, including more than $750,000 from the band and $2.3 million from the City of Campbell River. Despite the lack of traffic, the band remains locked in to paying a yearly water lot lease for the 300-metre-long terminal, which Pollard estimates is at least $20,000 annually. Though Campbell River had much to offer — glacier skiing, golfing, bear watching, river swimming — it was primarily industry-related factors that led to the drop in traffic, said Pollard. “It worked, no doubt, when the ships came here. But the ships just stopped coming,” he said.

SEA ARE LI TS MITED

Terminal boosters had banked on the Jones Act, a U.S. shipping law which requires cruise ships to visit at least one foreign port before returning, to guarantee them traffic. However, other challenges hit the industry: the recession of 2008, an Alaskan cruise ship gaming and head tax and increasing fuel costs. Cruise lines ended up docking at safe bets like Victoria and Vancouver. Though Pollard takes full responsibility for the band’s involvement, he said the projected numbers offered to communities by the industry can be convincing, and perhaps misleading. “They come in and say, ‘We’ll target Campbell River, six stops this year, but within five years you’ll be getting 24 stops,’ for example, and then they calculate how many passengers, and if they’re going to spend how many hundreds of thousands . . . they have that all charted out and they feed that to you, but in the end if they don’t come, there’s zero there,” said Pollard. “So you spend the big money promoting this. We promoted Campbell River as a destination stop, which was a lot of money in promotions. There was a lot of work done, not just with the band but with local people at different businesses . . . you name it. And when this all fell apart and they didn’t come here, a lot of people lost money.” Though it was clear by 2009 that Campbell River had entered rough waters, efforts to build Nanaimo’s cruise ship terminal continued. Completed in 2011, the facility cost $25 million and included $8.5 million from a federal infrastructure fund and $5 million from the province. Prior to the terminal, the city was already attracting ships. Thirty-three stopped here in 2005. But the city has never seen numbers that high since. See CRUISE, Page 5

COVER STORY

Six ships expected in Nanaimo during 2016 CRUISE, From Page 4 Since completion of the terminal, it has seen an average of two to four ships, with six in 2014. On average, it is estimated that each passenger will spend $50 to $80 per day. In 2014, the NPA spent $300,000 to promote the terminal. “What we were seeing as a decline at the time was basically mirrored by what was going on in the industry,” said David Mailloux, manager of communication and public affairs for the NPA. “It wasn’t as though we were doing something wrong, we ran into a timing issue where, when you have an expectation and you build a terminal, you think that you’re building it with the idea that things are going to escalate. “And there’s expectations that things are going to grow, because of the concept ‘build it and they will come.’ The reality is, that there’s a lot of forces that were going on . . . in terms of fuel consumption, the dollar, we had the market in the States that fell out, and high fuel prices, so those things were causing some issues for us.” However Mailloux says they feel that they “are doing really well” and have “built a great foundation of consistent service and good delivery of hospitality.” Though the industry claim it could not have foreseen the downturn, in as early as 2005 a cautionary report, authored by Newfoundland-based university professor Ross Klein, warned that B.C. ports were undercutting each other on passenger fees and spending millions of taxpayer’s dollars on port upgrades for terminals that were ultimately under-used. At the time, Klein told the Daily News that port officials should ask themselves what kind of economic return they were getting on their investments and said that many port officials get duped into thinking the way the cruise industry want them to think. “There is always this expectation of (economic) boom,” he said in 2005. “If B.C. wants to develop these other ports, then do it in a way that is in the interest of B.C. and not in the interest of the cruise industry. If you’re not being played off, great. But don’t set yourself up for that to happen.” In the report, Playing off the Ports: B.C. and the Cruise Tourism Industry, authored for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Klein recommended the establishment of a co-ordinated approach to cruise tourism with a provincial “cruise ship authority” to reduce the risk of competition among ports and ensure the equal distribution of ships between them. “Get real,” said then-Nanaimo Port Authority CEO Bill Mills. “What I think we’ve got is a fellow who is trying to look at it from 3,000 miles away. (Klein) appears to be lacking in his research.” Today, the bulk of cruise traffic on B.C.’s coast goes almost exclusively through Victoria and Vancouver, which received 230 and 235 ships in 2015, respectively. This potential of a coalition of ports has now passed, said Klein via email, as Victoria has now become established as a transit port and Vancouver

“There’s great potential here. I don’t think we need to run out and build a whole bunch of new attractions. I think we’ve got it here, we need to put it together in the right way so it can be sold to the cruise lines.” Richard Lewis, Destinations B.C.

as a home port, and neither have any incentive to work with ports like Nanaimo, whereas 10 years ago they did. “I think the city was given false expectations by cruise industry interests and others, but I also think they saw what they wanted to see and thought, ‘why wouldn’t those cruise ships going by stop here?’” said Klein. In general, it is not a sustainable plan to build an economy around money from the outside, added Klein, “except when there is a commitment from the outside for a certain level of income or tourist visits,” for example in a contract with cruise lines for a minimum number of passengers per year. Now that the terminal is built, there is little that can be done but to build on the city’s allure as a tourist destination as a focus for coming years. Adept packaging of the city’s features will pay off regardless of what happens with the cruise industry, said Richard Lewis, director of sector development and city destinations at Destination B.C., during his presentation at the VIEA panel discussion. “There’s a lot of product mid-Island that hasn’t been packaged properly. There’s great potential here. I don’t think we need to run out and build a whole bunch of new attractions. I think we’ve got it here, we need to put it together in the right way so it can be sold to the cruise lines,” he said, adding that Nanaimo is not “doing anything wrong.” Much of the continued optimism around the cruise ship terminal centres on tourism as a growing industry, and the possibility that new Asian markets will increase cruise traffic — though its precise impact here, and for the immediate future, remains blurry. In B.C., tourism is a $13.9 billion industry, and Vancouver Island receives 20 per cent of the visitation and 16 per cent of the related spending, said Lewis. “The final question is, tourism is growing, cruise is growing — do you see an opportunity?” asked Lewis. “Don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out and meet it.” The Nanaimo Port Authority expects six cruise ships will visit the city in 2016.

Expect new Canadian climate strategy after Paris meeting

here is a common assumption that when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada’s provincial and territorial leaders head to Paris in three weeks for a major United Nations conference on climate change, they will be going without a plan or consensus. After all, the prime minister was only sworn in last Wednesday and he’s heading out this week to several overseas political summits before Paris. It would seem that first ministers are going to Paris more as observers than participants, before coming home to discuss conference details and try to formulate a Canadian response and set targets. Those assumptions are off base. While Ottawa has a plan — based on the Liberal party’s election platform — first ministers haven’t been idle, suggests P.E.I. Premier Wade MacLauchlan. He pointed out that

the premiers agreed to an energy strategy this past July that didn’t get a lot of media attention. That strategy will be part of a joint federal-provincial presentation in Paris. As part of that provincial strategy, Quebec set out its transmission line policy for its hydroelectric power strategy while premiers supported increased storage of unused electricity generation. Ottawa ignored climate change issues the past four years or more but some provinces were pro-active. Several have made impressive cuts in emissions while others agreed to set reduction targets of up to 30 per cent by 2030. During the federal campaign, Trudeau pledged to move quickly on climate change while criticizing Stephen Harper’s Conservatives for refusing to consider strong, credible environmental policies. The PM is determined to demonstrate to the

world that Canada has its act together on climate and the environment. He cautions that further delays means that Canada will find it harder to get its resources to markets. A key plank in the Liberal platform was a commitment to attend the Paris climate conference, and within 90 days, hold a first ministers meeting to work together on a framework. Central to this would be the creation of national emissions reduction targets. Under the Liberal plan, provincial and territorial governments will have the flexibility to design their own policies to meet these commitments, including their own carbon pricing policies. Ottawa will provide targeted federal funding to help achieve these goals in the same way the federal government supports health care in Canada. The promised federal-provincial co-operation is welcome news.

Trudeau is anxious to undo the damage done by the previous Harper government, which repudiated the Kyoto protocols. Canada formally withdrew from Kyoto in 2011; abandoning the world’s only legally binding plan to tackle global warming that came into effect in 2005. Former Environment Minister Peter Kent said Kyoto would force Canada to spend about $14-billion buying carbon credits abroad because the country was so far behind in meeting its targets. The optics for Canada were terrible. Trudeau says the strategy set out in Kyoto is now back on the agenda. His plan is ambitious - creating a national environmental strategy that embraces scientific evidence and accepts the reality of humancaused climate change, champions mandatory international agreements to control the Earth’s atmospheric

greenhouse gas concentrations, sets firm annual targets for emission reductions, takes action to ensure they are met and publishes independently-validated annual progress reports. It seems that Paris will confirm Canada’s Kyoto commitments and that within three months of return, the PM and premiers will roll out a new Canadian strategy by as early as next March. The premiers won’t be going to Paris with their hands behind their backs. They will be going with a strategy and a renewed federal-provincial pledge of co-operation. —THE CANADIAN PRESS (CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN)

No butts: Smokers need to clean up Guy Bertrand Another View

’m not about to rail against smokers. I’ve got nothing against that habit as long as it doesn’t interfere with my breathing or my meal. I’m not against smoking. There are many worse vices out there and I even enjoy the odd smoke when having a beer or sitting out on a nice evening. But what bothers me are the butts — no ifs or ands about it. Everyday, whether it’s in front of the Trail Memorial Centre or walking the streets downtown or crossing the bridge I see the remnants of someone smoking. I don’t really get it. Almost daily I see people who wouldn’t normally toss a candy wrapper or a Kleenex on the sidewalk calmly and without remorse flick their butt on to the sidewalk or the street and walk away. Even during the height of the wildfire season this summer I was amazed to see people, adults, simply flick their still-burning butt out on to the street as they headed back to work or on their merry way. While the fire danger may be minimal on a downtown street, it amazes me that people appear to believe it’s not some form of littering. Even as a once-and-awhile smoker, I at least have the habit of keeping that butt in my pocket and waiting until there is a trash bin nearby to discard it. At the Trail Times we’ve written a lot about people dumping their garbage in remote areas and the city’s

battle to hold them accountable. However, cigarette butts might be one of the city’s biggest garbage problems. Complaints about the mess they leave on sidewalks, the plugged up drains and the butts finding their way into the water run-off, are just some of the litany of issues that smolder from cigarette waste. As I stated at the outset, I’m not out to ban smoking. All I’m asking is for the smoker to treat their cigarette butts like any piece of garbage and find a proper place to dispose of it. Smokers don’t throw their empty packages on to the sidewalk or the plastic wrappings. So why should another portion be treated any differently? I was prompted to write this col-

umn after reading a piece about the City of Nanaimo and its plan to tackle discarded cigarette butts. Under the heading “Keep Nanaimo Clean,” the city is giving away 200 pocket ashtrays to people around town. “Cigarette butts are the largest portion of the litter that we collect,” Charlotte Davis, the city’s manager of recycling and sanitation, told the CBC. “Sometimes with it being such a small piece of litter, people don’t even classify it as litter,” said Davis, “But it’s all litter and it’s all the same stuff and it’s bad for the environment and our city.” It’s a simple yet great solution. The pocket ashtrays have the city’s emblem as well as the campaign

slogan and are basically a little plastic pouch that fits neatly into any pocket. It’s one of those little things that can make a big difference. Even in Trail, it could work on so many levels. It’s not just a city issue, companies who have employees that smoke probably make a habit of reminding everyone of the dangers of smoking – that’s been drilled into our heads for decades now. However, accepting that some people enjoy smoking is a fact of life and, frankly, their right. But littering, which has also been drilled into our heads for decades, is bad for everyone and everything. Those same companies that promote a healthy lifestyle for its employees should also promote a healthy environment too. There’s enough little trinkets companies produce — from key chains to pens to hats—– that incorporating pocket ashtrays into its list of items shouldn’t be too much of a leap. Even if you don’t use it as an ashtray, the little pouch will find a purpose. Just look at the ashtray in most vehicles and how it has become a change holder. It’s such a simple solution and I believe the people who toss their butts don’t intentionally mean to harm the environment. They’ve just been conditioned to not even think of it as litter as Davis explained. With the disappearance of many public ashtrays, I believe many smokers would be happy to rethink what they do with their butts.

NPA president excited by opportunities ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

The Nanaimo Port Authority is excited to be a new component of the electronic marine highway in B.C. Speaking to a Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday, the NPA’s president Bernie Dumas said there are lots of business opportunities to be explored with the recent implementation of soft and hardware that provides real-time monitoring of local ship traffic in

local waters. He said the new monitoring system helps to ensure the safety of ships in the waters around Nanaimo in the Strait of Georgia, and should help the NPA bring new business to Nanaimo. Dumas also spoke on the ongoing plans to build a second berth at the NPA’s Duke Point property. He said the project could cost up to $70 million and is intended to handle the increasing demands on the authority’s facilities.

“This will allow us to handle two deep-sea vessels at the same time, including larger vessels,” Dumas said. “We’re hoping to receive funding from both the federal and provincial governments for the project, which will likely see completion in the 2020s. There’s a lot of energy projects currently underway in B.C., including LNG and oil pipelines, and we want the port to benefit from them.” Dumas said the new $9.3-million crane that was installed at NPA’s

Duke Point site this summer signals another step toward the NPA’s goal to become the Island’s leading container freight shipping and receiving port. He said the new cruise ship terminal at the NPA’s Assembly Wharf is beginning to show benefits, and eight “large cruise ships” are already scheduled to visit Nanaimo next year. “We’re still loading logs from that site and the new Helijet service (which offers regular helicopter

flights between Nanaimo and Vancouver harbours) has also begun this year,” Dumas said. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234 » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to yourletters@nanaimodailynews.com. Letters must include daytime phone number and hometown.

Police search for new clues

Tourist from Alberta is arrested twice in one day

ERIN HALUSCHAK COMOX VALLEY RECORD

Using its specialized skills to search for evidence and crime scenes, the RCMP tactical troop was called in Tuesday to search two areas in the Comox Valley in hopes of finding new information for a missing Courtenay woman. Julia Strobach, then 27, was last seen in Courtenay Oct. 31, 2013. Investigators confirmed the last sighting of Strobach was in the 1000-block of Braidwood Road in the early evening hours. Cpl. Darren Lagan of the Island District RCMP, said the team, which generally manages crowd-control or security situations, is also trained in grid searching for evidence. “They’re really going to cover a wide swath,” he explained. “They’re looking for anything of value (in the case).” Twice a year, the team — which consists of members from detachments across Vancouver Island — comes together to re-certify skills

and practice manoeuvres, explained Const. Daina Basso to media. “In addition to the twice a year, we come together whenever there’s a call out. We get called out to a variety of different crime scenes, venues, events. We move to supplement the detachment area and bring with us some specialized skills to help the detachment to which we were called.” Fifty officers from the troop searched green spaces in the

4600-block of Headquarters Road along with the 1000 block of Ryan Road. Basso added everyone on the team joins voluntarily, but the work is extremely satisfying. “It’s over and above their priorities at their detachment and their duties at their attachment, and everybody does it to help out further,” she said. “It’s very satisfying for us, not only to bring closure and/or a successful outcome to the families involved, but to lend assistance to our other detachment members.” For the last 17 months, officers with the Comox Valley RCMP General Investigation Section have contributed many investigative hours towards uncovering any evidence related to Strobach’s disappearance. They have also remained in regular contact with her family overseas. Anyone with information about Strobach’s disappearance is asked to call police at 250-338-1321 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

An Alberta tourist was arrested twice in one day during a visit to Ucluelet last month. The woman was first introduced to local police when she wandered into a local residence uninvited around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 26, said Sgt. Jeff Swann of the Ucluelet RCMP. “She was no risk to anybody, she was just extremely intoxicated and confused,” Swann said. “We tried to take her to her hotel but she was too drunk to figure out what room she was in.” With the only other accommodation-option being her truck, where she couldn’t be trusted to stay, the woman was detained in police cells until she sobered up. She was arrested again around 5:30 p.m. for being drunk in public. “She got out of police custody, went to Amphitrite Lighthouse, got drunk and continued that behaviour,” Swann said.

Police had received a report alleging the tourist was drinking with another female and one male near the lighthouse. “They were driving around the barricades around the lighthouse causing damage to the grass,” Swann said. On their way to the scene, the vehicle police were looking for drove past in the opposite direction so they turned around in pursuit eventually locating the vehicle parked with the three occupants outside. Swann said all three received tickets for being intoxicated in public and one was detained for uttering threats to police but was later released after calming down. “They were all issued violation tickets, the keys were seized and the vehicle was towed,” Swann said adding police were unable to lay any impaired driving charges. “By the time we stopped the vehicle, it was parked and we couldn’t prove who was driving.”

Designs for spillway, bridge at Colliery dam are approved DAILY NEWS

Designs for a new spillway and pedestrian bridge at the lower Colliery dam have been approved by provincial regulators, according to the City of Nanaimo. Work continues on construction of the project, with excavation work for the spillway set to begin this week or early next week, depending on weather. The city has also finished work on a secant pile cutoff wall designed to prevent water from seeping into the area where the spillway will be constructed. “Completing the secant pile wall is a major milestone for the project,” said Steve Ricketts, manager of construction for the city. ‘Once the auxiliary spillway and bridge structure construction is underway, the pro-

cost-plus project under threat of fines and an order from the B.C. water comptroller to meet imposed deadlines, following numerous delays from council on a decision. Previous estimates peg the total cost at between $2.8 million and $4.6 million. Council voted to proceed with the work in early September, following almost three years of debating and public anger over the city’s original proposal to remove the lower and middle Colliery dam. That decision was ultimately scuttled in favour of in-depth study of the structures. Even after upgrades to the lower dam is complete, the issue is set to spring in civic politics again. Council has approved an independent investigation into the controversy surrounding the project.

Clerk grabs gun to foil attempted store robbery

Family of five without a home following blaze

CARLIE CONNOLLY PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW

Neve Kary says she thought someone was joking when they came into the Prairie Inn Cold Beer and Wine Store on Nov. 6, asking for money. She would later prevent a theft by taking control of the man’s gun, which turned out to be a replica. A man entered the store near closing time with what appeared to be a silver revolver and pointed it at Kary. She said when he first came in, she thought it was a joke. She said being a block away from the police station and with his nervous demeanour, it just wasn’t something she expected. Kary said the man came up to the till and told her to put the cash drawer in a bag to which she said ‘no,’ laughing a bit, still thinking it was a joke. But with his more serious tone, asking again and pointing a gun at her face, she said she started to realize what was actually going on. Being a newer employee, Kary said she struggled to open the cash drawer and told him she couldn’t focus with the gun pointed at her, to which the man backed it away. When Kary opened the cash drawer, she said it seemed as if the man got anxious and leaned over the counter to help. He opened the bag with both hands, she said, leaving the gun on the counter. Kary then saw the opportunity to grab it. “It was all just autopilot,” she said. “I knew if I could just grab it without him noticing that I saw it that I could just get it and defuse the whole situation.”

Assistance required in finding new accommodation KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Police are looking for help identifying a man to tried to rob the Prariie Inn Cold Beer and Wine Store.

Central Saanich Police arrived at the store just before 11 p.m. However the suspect had fled. After realizing he no longer had any leverage, Kary said the man ran out the door. Kary said there was one customer towards the back who had crouched down when he heard the man. There were no other employees with Kary at the time. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the man. He is described as a heavy-set white man, between five foot seven and five foot eight, between 23 and 30 years old. He was said to be wearing a black, newer-looking motorcycle helmet when he entered the building, along with a black fleece jacket, black track pants and wire rimmed rectangular glasses with thick lenses. Anyone with information is asked to contact Central Saanich Police Service at 250-652-4441.

A house fire in the 4600-block of Morton Street that broke out in the very early morning hours of Nov. 10 has displaced a family of five. “The call came in as a chimney fire at 1:39 a.m.,” said Port Alberni fire Chief Tim Pley. “It started out in the chimney and it got into the attic.” The fire occurred because in older homes, current building codes that specify clearance between a heat source and wood were not yet implemented. “The fire was caused by heat transfer from the chimney to the structure,” said Pley. “So over time it pyrolyzed.” Pley said that while the fire avoided doing extensive damage to the living space, the residents are unlikely to be able to return for some time. “We currently are not allowed back in the house because it’s not safe, not even for shoes,” said Jessie Rowland, one of the home’s five residents. “We have no idea when we will be allowed back.” The family, which rented the home, did not have contents insurance on their belongings, she said. Rowland and her family

house that allows animals. . .” she said. “My sister broke her foot on Sunday meaning she cannot work, so we’re in a tough spot.” Anyone wanting to help with donations towards a longer hotel stay, food or leads on appropriate rentals can call Rowland at 250-681-4101.

CAMPBELL RIVER

City council asks Canada Post to halt installation of mailboxes KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River city council is calling on Canada Post to halt the installation of community mailboxes for addresses that still have door-to-door delivery. At last Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Larry Samson put forward a motion that council write to Canada Post insisting on the temporary suspension of all community mailbox installations. “It just drives me crazy how they can bring in these policies across the nation and then all of a sudden things change and they’re halfway done doing our community and they don’t know what they’re doing,” Samson said. “I think until such time as the newly elected federal government undertakes its comprehensive review, I’d like to see all future community mailboxes stop.” Canada Post announced on Oct. 26 that it is “temporarily

suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-todoor mail delivery to community mailboxes.” However, the corporation said those communities – including Campbell River – that already made the switch will continue to use community mailboxes. But, not all homes in Campbell River have been converted. Monica Judd, president of the Campbell River Local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said about 1,000 addresses still don’t have a community mailbox and are not expected to have one until around Christmas. Samson said he wants installation of those boxes suspended until the newly elected Liberal government conducts a review of Canada Post, a process that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised during his election campaign. Coun. Charlie Cornfield said he agreed with Samson’s motion because while some community mailbox locations have worked

really well, others have been a different story. “I think more work needs to be done,” Cornfield said. “One I looked at on Vallejo Drive is right on the outside corner, there’s a 30-foot bank right behind it. There’s only 12 houses on the whole darn street yet they’ve got 40 some-odd mailboxes there so the entire neighbourhood comes to this one tiny area. “I think they need that direction from the federal government and let’s see what happens. So I support Councillor Samson’s motion.” The rest of council, with the exception of Coun. Ron Kerr, did as well and approved writing Samson’s suggested letter to Canada Post. The corporation is installing roughly 270 mailboxes around Campbell River, putting an end to home delivery to 8,543 local households. Community mailboxes went into effect for most homes on Sept. 21.

RCMP warn pot dispensaries to close or face prosecution DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo RCMP has started issuing warnings to marijuana retailers to close their doors or face closure and possible prosecution. Police officers issued letters to several cannabis dispensaries in Nanaimo to shut their doors within seven days or risk arrest, seizures and possible prosecution for cannabis trafficking. “I am absolutely disgusted,” said Brandy Cavanagh, manager of Mid-Island Health and Wellness Association. She said the society that operates the dispensary caters only to patients who are licensed by Health Canada to use cannabis. But dispensaries remain illegal in Canada, and Cavanagh said Health Canada has left “no avenue” for patients to access it, other than by mail, from licensed producers. Health Canada issued a warning in late summer that dispensaries would be closed. In September 13 cease-and-desist orders were issued across Canada. Not all Nanaimo dispensaries have received warnings. “We have not received a cease-and-desist order,” said Kaitlynn Hill, manager of Weemedical.

School District 72 released the following statement on Tuesday: “We have been informed by Campbell River RCMP that an individual exposed themselves to two elementary students near Penfield Elementary School. The students were not physically harmed and were able to get safely to the school where they reported the incident. “It is our understanding that RCMP have a person of interest in custody and that this incident is unrelated to a similar episode that occurred near Timberline Secondary in September. “Parents/guardians are asked to please share this information with your child(ren) and instruct them to call 911 immediately or report the incident to their school principal should they ever experience a similar encounter. For safety, it is also always advised that they walk to and from school with a friend. “School administration at Timberline, Penfield, Sandowne, Georgia Park and Southgate will be talking with students as soon as possible about this incident given their schools’ proximity to where this occurred. “As this is a police investigation, the school district cannot provide further information or comment.”

The Salvation Army will once again operate an extreme weather response shelter for the Oceanside region, according to a news release from the Oceanside Task Force on Homelessness and the Society of Organized Services. The extreme weather shelter will be funded by B.C. Housing, the Regional District of Nanaimo Homelessness Action Fund, The Salvation Army and the Oceanside Task Force on Homelessness. Funding for the shelter is available from now until March 31, 2016. The shelter will be open from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m. on nights of inclement or extreme weather only. Clients will be provided with cots, blankets, pillows, an evening meal and breakfast. In the winter of 2014/15, the shelter was open a total of 37 nights due to snow and cold temperatures. Extreme weather conditions are defined as: • Temperatures near zero with rainfall that makes it difficult or impossible for homeless people to remain dry. • Sleet/freezing rain. • Snow accumulation. • Sustained high winds. • Temperatures at or below minus-2 Celsius, taking into account wind chill.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP’s street crimes unit got help from E Division’s specialized Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team to execute a warrant on a psilocybin grow op Friday night. Seized were both drug paraphernalia and a number of containers used to cultivate what is suspected to be psilocybin mushrooms. “It is unknown how long the homeowner has been operating this illegal lab,” said a press release issued by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday. “This type of criminal behaviour poses a threat to the health and wellbeing of anyone entering the home,” she said, including investigators. As such, “all necessary precautions were taken to ensure public and police safety as the lab was dismantled,” Hobday said. A 32-year-old man and a 34-yearold woman are expected to face charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of stolen property. Those with information on this or any other crime are encouraged to contact the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.

Report shows brutal side for women in B.C. gangs Enforcement unit attempts to put public face on lifestyle THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s anti-gang squad is putting a more public face on the gang lifestyle — and it’s not pretty. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit has released its annual report aimed at discouraging involvement in gangs, especially for young women who follow the lustre but find something entirely different. The report, released this week, features a soul-baring story by an anonymous woman who said she lost a decade of her life to gangs. The tale of a Metro Vancouver woman’s “long-term relationship with organized crime” talks of her addictions, her job ferrying drugs and money across the country and the murders of her friends. She said she found power, respect and friendship with two gang members who were later discovered murdered on a road in rural Surrey. “His parents chose to have an open casket,” she said of attending the funeral for a young man she called Terry. “They were making a point for the handful of us who were there. We had all partied together at some point or other. The bullet hole in his head was still prominent.” The squad’s media spokesman Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the woman approached them to tell her story. “We were just blown away by that lifestyle that we don’t often get a

HOUGHTON

glimpse of,” he said in an interview Wednesday. Houghton said it was therapeutic for the woman, whose parents still don’t know that she was involved with crime and gangs. The unit is hoping her story and others in the report might take some of the shine off the gangster lifestyle for those thinking about getting involved. “There are days where it does feel like we’re swimming up a waterfall,” he said of fighting the perception of glamour that criminal gangs attempt to put out. But there are other days when they go into schools and talk to kids about the realities of gangs and really feel like they’re making progress, he added. The unit is made up of nearly 400 officers and civilians who work to fight organized crime, curb gang activity and educate the public in B.C.

Its annual report also shows homicides and attempted homicides have climbed to 30 so far this year, compared with 18 for all of last year. Houghton said the spike is mostly due to the gang conflict this spring in Surrey and Delta where police counted more than 30 shootings over what they believe was a lowlevel drug war. He said the shooting stopped in July after the arrest of some suspects, while others involved fled to India and the remainder found the police and media spotlight too glaring. He called the shootings juvenile and petty. “They don’t often think of the ramifications of their actions, driving around with a handgun doing drive-by shootings. . . . These young people really don’t think much of it anymore and we need to change that.” Houghton noted the number of deaths and injuries has dropped dramatically since 2008 and 2009 when police admitted Metro Vancouver was in the midst of a gang war. Statistics in the report say there’s a gang-related murder or attempted murder every 10 days on average in the province. Since January 2006, there have been 172 victims of gang homicide. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to yourletters@nanaimodailynews.com.

Driver denies he caused crash on Highway 99

Sea-to Sky region to see rape kits available

The driver of a vehicle that struck and killed two cyclists on a British Columbia highway is denying responsibility for the crash. Samuel Alec says in court documents that the death of cyclist Ross Chafe on Highway 99 near Pemberton last May was not due to his negligence. Chafe’s wife, Lizanne Bussieres, has sued both the owner of the vehicle and Alec, whom she alleges was impaired at the time of the collision. Alec has filed court documents blaming the incident on Chafe. Cyclist Kelly Blunden and vehicle passenger Paul Pierre Jr. were also killed in the collision. The Insurance Corp. of British Columbia has filed documents in B.C. Supreme Court, also accusing Chafe of responsibility for his own death.

A public health nurse will soon be available to administer rape kits in Squamish after a years-long fight by local advocates to remove barriers to justice for sexual assault victims. Vancouver Coastal Health has announced that a nurse will be available as of mid-December to offer the forensic exams, which collect evidence after an assault for a criminal prosecution. The news comes after The Canadian Press reported last month that victims in the Sea-to-Sky corridor, which stretches from Horseshoe Bay to Pemberton, had to travel for hours to access kits at a Vancouver hospital. Squamish Coun. Susan Chapelle and the Howe Sound Women’s Centre have been calling for a trained forensic nurse in the region for years, and on Thursday Chapelle said she was thrilled. “Exciting news — one hospital though,” she said. “It’s one nurse in one hospital. Really, B.C. had 19 hospitals without forensic nurse care and now we have 18 hospitals without forensic nurse care.” Across Canada, many hospitals lack trained staff to administer the kits. Thirteen health centres in southern B.C. can provide the exams, while doctors in all 24 northern hospitals have the necessary training. Chapelle has said victims sometimes had to take a trip in the back of a police car to Vancouver General Hospital, where they could get exam. The councillor was raped as a young woman, a fact she has spoken openly about to draw attention to hurdles in the justice system. She said Vancouver Coastal Health has long been discussing the issue with community members and doctors, but it lacked the resources from the Health Ministry.

Man responsible for death ‘disgusted’ by self TRACY HOLMES PEACE ARCH NEWS

Two years after the death of South Surrey’s Corey Bennett, the man responsible described the act as something he still can’t make sense of, and can never fix. “I fully am disgusted in myself,” Donald James Chad Jr. told Judge James Jardine during his sentencing hearing Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court. “I took someone’s dad, someone’s brother. Parents had to bury their son because of me. There is no fixing what I did.” Chad, 32, was one of two men arrested in connection with the Nov. 9, 2013 shooting death of 44-year-old Bennett at a home in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. Initially facing trial for murder, Chad pleaded guilty in August to manslaughter.

“I took someone’s dad, someone’s brother. Parents had to bury their son because of me. There is no fixing what I did.” Donald James Chad, accused

Tuesday, defense counsel Kelly Merrigan argued Chad’s guilty plea should be a mitigating factor in determining sentence, noting a trial would have been harder on Bennett’s family – and would likely not have ended in a conviction. “The witnesses are, themselves, deeply troubled people,” Merrigan said, referring to testimony heard during a preliminary inquiry.

“There was rich fodder for the defence to hopefully plant the seed of doubt at a jury trial… and yet my client has not availed himself to the opportunity of a trial.” According to Merrigan, Bennett was not targeted to die, and the extent of his client’s role in planning the crime remains unclear. In an agreed statement of facts, the court heard that Bennett was living with his common-law spouse at the time, and that the house was a focal point for illicit drugs. Prosecutor Suzanne Elliott said Chad had made two visits to the home for such transactions prior to the night Bennett died. On the second, he had been ejected “at the request of Mr. Bennett.” On the night Bennett was killed, Chad returned at around 11 p.m. with two men and a loaded semi-automatic

rifle. Bennett was asleep downstairs, and Chad pushed past a woman who had come to buy drugs. He jumped on the bed, shouting and “poking Bennett with the rifle.” The gun went off during a struggle, Elliott said. Chad – who was under court order to not possess firearms – was arrested Nov. 22 and had large amounts of Canadian and Chinese currency and a prohibited .45-calibre Webley revolver, the court heard. Elliott noted that at that time, Chad already had “a lengthy and significant related record.” The lawyers agreed a 10-year sentence would be fitting. In reserving his decision, scheduled for Nov. 27, the judge said he needed time to weigh the submissions, which included details of Chad’s “chaotic childhood” with drug- and alcohol-addicted parents, and victim-impact

statements from four of Bennett’s family members. Bennett’s sister, Jamie England, told the court she lives with the repercussions of her brother’s death every day; fearing for his children and grandchildren and wondering “if he knew how much I loved him.” In addressing the court, an emotional Chad said he wished he could undo what happened, but “I don’t dare ask forgiveness.” “I know I’m incapable of providing his family with closure, however, I don’t want my silence to prevent them from attaining any at all.” Outside court, Chad’s mother expressed regret for her son’s childhood, and hope for his future. “I was addicted to pills and I wasn’t always there for him,” Yvonne Kelly said. “Sorry I didn’t do a good enough job to raise him.”

COOKING CLASS

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2015

Eileen Bennewith Nutrition Notes

To eat meat or not eat meat?

Welcome to world of ‘edutainment’ Sheila Hockin The Lucky Gourmet

ither it’s a growing trend or a return to an old form of entertainment. In any case, folks are increasingly spending their evenings in hobby-related workshops. And as with most trends, it has to have a new name that the Webster’s dictionary will recognise in a couple of years — welcome to “edutainment.” Edutainment, as the word suggests, combines education and entertain-

ment into an experience, a how-to and hands-on adventure. Date nights can be transformed from the traditional dinner and drinks to learning how to make sushi, taking dance lessons or learning origami. In my opinion, girl’s night out could also use a make-over. If you are interested in cooking, several Vancouver Island kitchens are embracing the movement and offering a variety of cooking experiences. Whether making Kimche to whipping up an impressive Beef Wellington, you can’t taste and smell it all, from a You Tube video. Stir Cooking School, run by Jennifer Leslie and Kelli Etheridge, embraces the philosophy of cooking as local as possible and teaching healthy food options.

Their classes are offered at a variety of venues in Lantzville and Nanaimo. Using the Lucky’s Liquor Store’s demonstration kitchen allows them an opportunity to educate and entertain in central Nanaimo. On Nov. 17, Stir presents guest chef Hilary Malone, co-owner of Sea Salt Food Co. Malone, a foodie from tip to toe, will showcase recipes from Sea Salt Food’s award-winning cookbook, Sea Salt: Recipes from the West Coast Gallery. The book is co-authored by Malone and her mother who were inspired by their family’s love of sailing when they would catch their food from the sea and prepare it in the galley. Not surprising, the book won best fish and seafood book at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Malone also has built upon her culinary degree by honing her skills in the top local eateries. Get ready to have your senses awakened when Hilary demonstrates how to make cornmeal crusted Fanny Bay oysters, sausage and fennel hand pies, and crispy polenta fries with smoked paprika aioli. And what could possibly make the evening more enjoyable, but wine and beer pairings to accompany the various dishes? The evening will hit all those edutainment buttons and more, especially if you’re able to share the experience with a close friend or significant other. If you’d like more information or tickets to this event, email info@ stircookingschool.ca or visit them at www.stircookingschool.ca.

Fast-food workers protest for higher wages THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Workers from McDonald’s, Taco Bell and other chain restaurants protested around the U.S. this week to push fast food companies to pay them at least $15 an hour. The protesters also had a message for presidential candidates: Support the cause or lose their vote. The fast food protests were planned by organizers at more than 270 cities nationwide, part of an ongoing campaign called “Fight for $15.” Janitors, nursing home workers and package delivery workers also joined some protests, organizers said. Dominique McCrae, who serves fried chicken and biscuits at a Bojangles’ restaurant for $7.55 an hour, joined

a protest outside a McDonald’s in Durham, North Carolina. Her pay isn’t enough to cover rent or diapers for her child, the 23-year-old said. She dropped out of college to care for her grandfather, making finances tight. “We just want to be able to support our families,” said McCrae, who has worked at Bojangles’ for two months. Bojangles’ Inc., based in Charlotte, North Carolina, said in a statement that it offers employees “competitive compensation.” The campaign began about three years ago and is funded by the Service Employees International Union, which represents low-wage workers. Several protests have been scheduled in front of fast food restaurants, garnering media attention.

This time workers are pledging not to vote for presidential candidates that do not support the campaign. Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both showed their support through tweets on Tuesday, and Sanders showed up at a protest outside the Senate in Washington. A protest was also planned near the Republican debates in Milwaukee Tuesday night, organizers said. McDonald’s worker Adriana Alvarez plans to vote for the first time next year, but only for a candidate who wants to raise wages to $15 an hour. Alvarez, 23, lives in Chicago, said she makes $10.50 an hour, and higher pay can help her move out of the mouldy basement apartment she shares with her three-year-old son.

“I can find a better place,” she said. The protests are occurring against a backdrop of weak wage growth nationwide. Average hourly pay has increased at roughly a 2.2 per cent annual rate since the recession ended more than six years ago. In the retail, hotel and restaurant industries, average hourly pay for front-line workers — the roughly 80 per cent who aren’t managers or supervisors — is below $15 an hour. It was $14.90 in the retail industry in October, the U.S. Labor Department said last week, and $13.82 for hotel employees. Restaurant workers, on average, earned $11.51 an hour.

ecently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization released a report naming processed meat as a Grade 1 carcinogen and red meat as a Grade 2A carcinogen. This means that consumption of these foods may increase a person’s risk of developing cancer. Unfortunately, when the media ran with this story, the headlines led many to believe that any amount of meat would lead to cancer. For many years, registered dietitians have been recommending that Canadians limit their intake of processed meats. This recommendation was due to the high sodium content and also due to research suggesting an association with a higher cancer risk. The WHO report indicated an increased cancer risk was possible with a daily intake of 50 grams of processed meat or a 100 gram intake of fresh meat. For most people, who eat a variety of protein foods in their diet, meat would not be consumed every day. By including egg dishes, and more plant based foods such as tofu, nuts, lentils, beans and even having more fish, you can reduce your cancer risk considerably without giving up your Sunday roast. For those who eat a lot of fast food breakfast sandwiches or burgers, bacon, sausage, salami or those who eat large portions of meat every day, it is a good time to think about sharing your eight ounce steak and maybe evaluating your passion for bacon. By preparing meals using less meat you can reduce your risk of cancer. Instead of serving a steak to everyone in the family, make one serving of meat stretch by cooking a hearty chili, a stew with lots of vegetables, or a stir fry meal. You will still get the meat flavour but not the large meat portion. There are better ways to reduce your risk of cancer than by cutting out meat. Quitting smoking if you are a smoker will have a bigger impact on your cancer risk than limiting processed meat. Other ways to reduce cancer risk include getting the recommended amount of daily exercise and increasing your intake of a variety of vegetables and fruit. The IARC report also mentioned that high heat cooking such as barbequing can increase the amount of cancer causing agent in your meat. Using low heat methods such as slow roasting, stewing, or poaching in liquid will also reduce your risk of cancer. Choosing to eat smaller portions of meat and serving a few meat free meals through the week will improve your odds. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

MIDDLE EAST

SINJAR, Iraq — Supported by U.S.led airstrikes, Kurdish Iraqi troops on Thursday seized part of a highway that is used as a vital supply line by the Islamic State group, a key initial step in a major offensive to retake the strategic town of Sinjar from the militants. The town was overrun by the extremists as they rampaged across Iraq in August 2014, leading to the killing, enslavement and flight of thousands of people from the minority Yazidi community. The U.S. later launched an air campaign against the Islamic State militants, also known as ISIL, ISIS and, in Arabic, as Daesh. Hours into Thursday’s operation, the Kurdish Regional Security Council said its forces controlled a section of Highway 47, which passes by Sinjar and indirectly links the militants’ two biggest strongholds — Raqqa in Syria and Mosul in northern Iraq — as a route for goods, weapons and fighters. Coalition-backed Kurdish fighters on both sides of the border are trying to retake sections of that corridor as part of Operation Free Sinjar. “By controlling Highway 47, which is used by Daesh to transport weapons, fighters, illicit oil and other commodities that fund their operations, the coalition intends to increase pressure ... and isolate their components from each other,” a coalition statement said. It said more than 150 square kilometres of territory had been retaken from the Islamic State group. The coalition said 24 airstrikes were carried out over the past day, striking nine militant tactical units, nine staging areas and destroying 27 fighting positions, among other targets. Coalition aircraft have conducted more than 250 airstrikes in the past month across northern Iraq. The Kurdish fighters also said they had secured the villages of Gabarra, on the western front, and Tel Shore, Fad-

helya and Qen on the eastern front. About 7,500 peshmerga fighters closed in on Sinjar from three sides, the Kurdish council said. In addition to taking the town and the highway, the operation aimed to establish “a significant buffer zone to protect the city and its inhabitants from incoming artillery.” Heavy gunfire broke out early Thursday as peshmerga fighters began their approach amid aerial bombardment. U.S. special operations forces were operating from a hill above the fighting in Sinjar, said Col. Steven Warren, the spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Baghdad. U.S. advisers were also positioned with Kurdish commanders, set back from the front line and behind Sinjar mountain, to remain away from the crossfire, Warren said. According to U.S. guidelines, the U.S. forces have stay away from the front lines and the risk of enemy fire, he said, so they are operating from safe locations on Sinjar mountain. Warren said two teams of commandos were working with the Kurds to locate enemy targets and call the information in to the Joint Operations Center in Irbil, where military officials then direct coalition aircraft flying in the area to conduct the airstrikes.

IMMIGRATION

Syrian refugee plan details unclear Neither the PM nor immigration minister had clear answers when asked about government role in effort STEPHANIE LEVITZ THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Liberal cabinet met Thursday to review its plan for the resettlement of some Syrian refugees, but offered little public detail — sowing confusion and frustration about what, exactly, is supposed to happen next, and how. Neither the prime minister nor the immigration minister were clear when asked directly whether their plan to resettle 25,000 Syrians would remain the exclusive work of the government, or whether private sponsors would play a role. The Liberals promised to bring in 25,000 refugees and then encourage private groups like churches to do even more — a promise Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated Thursday. What he wouldn’t say was whether that’s still the plan. “I know that Canada has benefited for decades and generations from various waves of immigrants, people who were often fleeing for their lives and have established good lives for

themselves and have also contributed greatly to our country’s success,” he said. “So we looked at various ways of bringing these people, but our promise was indeed to bring 25,000 government-sponsored refugees.”

When Immigration Minister John McCallum was pressed on how the commitment was going to break down, he suggested it would be both. “What we have said from the beginning is that we are committed to government-sponsored refugees, and

the government-assisted 25,000 will arrive early in the new year,’ that would certainly be acceptable to us,” she said. “There is a concern that the privately sponsored refugees maybe are going to be put on hold for a few weeks while they try to bring in the 25,000 government-assisted, but to turn the 25,000 into a mix, that is not going to be good news.” Refugee advocacy and resettlement groups have long called on the government to take on more of the responsibility for responding to the Syrian refugee crisis, rather than just relying on the private sector to shoulder most of the load. Settlement agencies — who are expected to shoulder a great deal of that responsibility — were scheduled to have a conference call with government officials on Friday to hear more. “Everybody is waiting — the provinces, the municipalities, everybody that has got a role play they are just wanting to get something firm to work with,” Dench said.

in addition, we encourage the private sector to come forward as much as they can with private refugees,” he said. “So we want a mix of the two, and we won’t have further detail for some days until we announce in great detail the whole plan of what we are going to do.” Calls and emails to departmental officials to clarify the remarks were not immediately returned. There are about 10,000 applications currently in the pipeline for Syrian refugees under commitments made by the previous Conservative government. Since January, private groups have submitted close to 6,000 applications themselves. There’s room for some compromise, suggested Janet Dench, the executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees. “If he was going to say, ’Well, the 25,000 needs to be done over a longer period and we’ll get 25,000, but some of them will be privately sponsored refugees that arrive before the end of December, but the rest of

TORONTO — Several provinces and at least one territory are experiencing outbreaks of pertussis, better known as whooping cough, and public health officials are encouraging Canadians of all ages to make sure their vaccinations are up to date. The bacterial infection, which often but not always causes a “whoop” sound when breathing or coughing, is particularly dangerous for very young babies, say doctors. The disease can lead to hospitalization and, in rare cases, death. Manitoba is dealing with an outbreak of pertussis in its southern region, where 44 of the province’s 51 cases so far this year have been reported. Most of those who developed the infection had not been inoculated, which is included in a vaccine that typically also protects against diphtheria, tetanus and polio. Some provinces also include Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine (Hib) or hepatitis B in the shot. “You have outbreaks from time to time, but we’re usually around 10 per year, so this is significant,” Dr. Michael Routledge, Manitoba’s chief public health officer, said Thursday from Winnipeg. Most of those who got sick were young children, but some teens and adults also contracted the infection, Routledge added.

“We’re concerned this is happening in kids who are quite young and they can have serious complications from it.” Whooping cough is the second most common infectious childhood disease in Canada, after influenza. While the disease is endemic, or always present in the community to some extent, outbreaks tend to be cyclical, with a spike in cases every two to five years. Pertussis often mimics cold viruses in its symptoms — runny nose, nasal congestion, red and watery eyes, and fever — but its signature hallmark is a cough and severe wheezing that can persist for weeks. The highly contagious disease is passed through saliva and mucus. Infants, especially those under four months of age, are at risk for life-threatening complications such as pneumonia; an inability to breathe (apnea); seizures; and brain damage. British Columbia is also seeing a bit of a jump in whooping cough his year, with double the number of cases reported in 2012, but half the case count in 2000 — reflecting the cyclical nature of the infection, said Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an infectious disease expert at the BC Center for Disease Control. The highest proportion of cases in B.C. is among pre-teens aged 10 to 13, suggesting that waning immunity could be at play, as children that age would have had their most recent dose as fourto six-year-olds, said Skowronski.

Outrage book by Bernardo is on Amazon

PROTEST

Student protests about continued racism hit more campuses in U.S.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Amazon is taking heat on social media and its own website following a report that it’s selling an ebook by notorious killer Paul Bernardo. Global News reports Bernardo is the author of a 631-page novel that’s selling on Amazon for $7.77. A spokeswoman for Amazon could not confirm Bernardo is the author, and a call to Bernardo’s lawyer was not immediately returned. Bernardo, a dangerous offender, is serving a life sentence in an eastern Ontario prison for crimes related to the rape and murder of two teenaged Ontario schoolgirls, Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy. A description of the book says the story involves the Russian mafia, an al-Qaida plot to attack the U.S., and secret cabal planning to return Russia to a world superpower. One person wrote “Shame on you Amazon” in comments on the Amazon site, while several others said they would no longer do any shopping with the online seller. “Amazon is DESPICABLE in selling this ‘book’ from this monster,” one person wrote. “I will do no further business with Amazon while it allows this scum to profit.”

From Boston to California, dozens of schools in many states saw walkouts and rallies “It’s more the daily microaggressions than the large situations. Those also hurt.”

COLLIN BINKLEY AND ERRIN HAINES WHACK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Thousands of students across the U.S. took part in demonstrations at university campuses Thursday to show solidarity with protesters at the University of Missouri, and to shine a light on what they say are racial problems at their own schools. Students at some schools said they were emboldened to take a harder stance against racism by the protests that toppled the Missouri president, who was criticized for his handling of racial complaints. Some of the Missouri students said they were inspired by the protests in nearby Ferguson, where the police killing of an 18-year-old black man helped give rise to the nationwide “black lives matter” movement. From Boston College to campuses at the University of California, dozens of schools saw walkouts and rallies. While the Missouri protests were triggered in large part by complaints about slurs and other overt racism,

At Chicago’s Loyola University, student Dominick Hall said groups of white guys stop talking when he walks by, and sometimes people grip their bags a little tighter. Katiana Roc said she will never forget the day two years ago when she sat down in class at West Virginia University and a white student a few seats away collected his things and moved across the room. “He looked uncomfortable. I’m pretty sure he moved because of the colour of my skin. It didn’t hurt my feelings,” said Roc. “What disappointed me was his ignorance.” She added that just being on campus can be a day-to-day struggle. “But instead of me saying that I’ll transfer where I feel more comfortable, I’d rather stick it out here,” she said. “I’m not here for how people look at me; I’m here for my education.” Stories like that aren’t new, students said. But many said the revolt at Missouri has driven them to talk about it and confront it.

Akosua Opokua-Achampong, Boston College student

some students at Thursday’s rallies said it’s a subtler brand of prejudice that motivated them to take a stand. Many said they face daily instances of casual racism and insensitivity. There’s even a word on campuses these days for subtle slights against minorities: microaggression. “It’s more the daily microaggressions than the large situations,” said Akosua Opokua-Achampong, a student at Boston College. “Those also hurt.” Sheryce Holloway said she is tired of white people at Virginia Commonwealth University asking if they can touch her hair or if she knows the latest dance move.

In recent days and weeks, students at some colleges have presented administrators with their own demands, inspired by those of the protesters at Missouri. Often, the demands call for greater diversity on the faculty, more spending on scholarships for minorities, more instruction on tolerance and sensitivity, and more resources such as cultural centres. Universities have responded by hosting diversity forums in recent days, or meeting to hear demands. Students at some schools, such as the University of Michigan, said the Missouri case has emboldened them to take a harder stance against administrators if they don’t keep their promises. Holloway, from Virginia Commonwealth, said she has sometimes tried to ignore subtler instances of racism. But now, she said, she has decided not to keep quiet anymore. “It’s hard when it’s something you see every day,” she said. “It’s exhausting. It’s fatiguing and, you know, we’re frustrated.”

NHL

Sens’ Hamburglar steals Canucks’ show Former BCHL goaltender backstops Ottawa to a 3-2 win over Vancouver to spoil Ben Hutton’s homecoming SPORTS INSIDE Today’s issue

JASON BOTCHFORD THE PROVINCE

ack in 2006, Andrew Hammond played one game for a BCHL team in West Kelowna. He was then cut. It was nearly the last hockey game he ever played. But after contemplating giving up on the sport forever, the goalie decided he would keep playing. And playing. And playing. Good thing for the Ottawa Senators. Not so much for the Canucks in a 3-2 loss. The Canucks rained shots and scoring chances all over the Sens crease in Thursday’s second period. It was was among their best of the season. It was also among their most futile. But the goalie they call “The Hamburglar” was everything. Yes, apparently, Hammond is still a thing in this league. After that disappointing second, the Canucks were unable to exploit a Senators defence that had helped surrender seven goals Tuesday. More importantly, they were unable to get a win, which is making this long road trip look a whole lot longer. This, despite getting and early lead and getting a lucky break for Radim Vrbata. Sixty-four shots. Three goals. That was the ugly reality Vrbata faced heading into Thursday’s game. It was incredibly frustrating. It weighed on him. It was humbling. Vrbata was the Canucks MVP last season. He scored 31 goals. He was one of the best free agent signings the Canucks have had, ever. But what felt so easy, and looked so smooth, a year ago, has looked laborious, and achingly unlucky. Twice in 16 games he had hit the knob of goalies stick only to see the puck deflect off the crossbar and out of the net. It had been that kind of year. He was asked if he felt confident. “No, it gets to you,” Vrbata said. “Playing in a game I feel as good as last year, maybe better. “But I have been missing the goals. I feel bad for the teammates who are passing me the puck and the coaches who are giving me the opportunity. “I’ve been feeling like I’ve been letting the team down.”

INJURED: Jared McCann was set to be a healthy scratch but got to play because a Brandon Sutter injury kept him out of the lineup. Sutter left practice early on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury. COMING: It won’t be long now before Luca Sbisa is back. The Canucks believe they have missed his size down low. Sbisa has been out since Oct. 30 with an ankle injury. He could be back on this road trip, but if not probably next weekend.

Finally, something went right for Vrbata Thursday. Nearing the midway point of the first period, he zipped a backhand toward the middle of the ice. It hit Sven Baertschi and re-directed into the net. It gave Vrbata his first break in weeks. It also gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead. But Ottawa erased that about four minutes later, when Bo Horvat was caught out of position trying to kill a penalty. WHAT THIS MEANS Ben Hutton has been one of the Canucks best stories this season. If you were wondering how much he means, on Thursday you could quantify it. Hutton’s hometown, Prescott, is about an hour away from Ottawa. According to the 2011 census, the population is 4,284. Roughly 450 residents travelled to Kanata to see Hutton, the kid who has become a

local legend. They arrived on several buses, and took over the Canadian Tire Centre, chanting “B-Hutt, B-Hutt” throughout the game while holding up adoring signs. They shared stories too. Lots of them. Greg Williams, who was Hutton’s first coach, said he scored 50 goals for him one season. “He’s a legend,” Williams said. “I’m telling you, he’s a small town kid who we’ve all been involved with. “I never expected this. The town never did. We never did. But if any kid should make the NHL, this is the kid who is the epitome of someone who has done it for all the right reasons.” WHAT WE LEARNED The NHL has set up a meeting with Alex Burrows for Friday, but it’s not what you think. Burrows is not facing supplemental discipline for his comments to Jordin Tootoo.

The NHL wants to discuss the where, not the what. The two players exchanged chirps in the penalty box Sunday. Tootoo complained about Burrows smack talking after the game. The league has requested a phone conversation but it’s to remind Burrows that there are microphones near the penalty box which could have picked things up for the broadcast. The Canucks do not believe Burrows’ comments crossed the line, and said what Burrows said is something which is uttered ten times a game. IN A WORD TORTS: There were several Alex Edler moments where I couldn’t help but think of how he struggled playing for John Tortorella. On the Sens second goal, he gave the puck away and then fell down in a corner. Looked like the Torts era.

ADVANCED STATS 19: The number of even strength shot attempts the Canucks had with Horvat on the ice in the first two periods. It led the team. He was on for just four against. It was his best two periods in some time. 37.5%: This was the Canucks percentage of even strength shot attempts when Alex Edler was on the ice. It was the lowest percentage on the team. Yes, it was a tough game for Edler. 19: The number of shots on net the Canucks had in the second period. The Senators had just eight. But the Canucks still couldn’t do anything with all those shots, getting held scoreless for those 20 minutes. 5.2: The average number of goals being scored in an NHL game this season in regulation. It’s the lowest total since 2003-04. It’s also why so many people are talking about reducing goalie equipment. NEXT GAME Saturday, Vancouver Canucks at Toronto Maple Leafs, 4 p.m., CBC TV, TSN 1040 AM.

Clippers host Bulldogs with new-look lineup

BCHL

SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Members of the Nanaimo Clippers celebrate a goal in a B.C. Hockey League game Tuesday against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in Port Alberni. [GARY DORLAND/FOR THE DAILY NEWS]

Sponsored by

Athlete of the Week Josh Ross Sport: Basketball Achievements: First-year Vancouver Island University Mariners men’s basketball forward Josh Ross posted a combined 38 points and 27 rebounds in two road wins over the weekend against the Douglas Royals and Capilano Blues. The Mariners, at 3-0, are currently ranked No. 1 in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national rankings.

ith a 3-1 road win over the Alberni valley Bulldogs Tuesday night, the Nanaimo Clippers ended a four-game losing streak and, in turn, any negative momentum they had. The challenge now for the Clippers (12-9-0-1) is to string together consecutive wins for the first time since a fourgame win streak ended Oct. 30 against the Bulldogs (8-10-1-1) — coincidentally the last time the played a home game. The challenge to win two in a row begins tonight against Alberni, as the two teams meet at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena for the fourth time in seven games. What sparked the Clippers on Tuesday night was the separation of their top line of Sheldon Rempal, Matt Hoover and Devin Brosseau — a threesome that is in the top seven in B.C. Hockey League scoring — to spark the rest of the team’s offence. They were spread throughout the lineup and, lo and behold, were in on each of their team’s three goals on Tuesday. Don’t expect that to change tonight, says Brosseau. “It worked pretty well,” said Brosseau, the Clippers captain who is fourth in league scoring and assisted on a goal from new linemate Chris Dodero Tuesday. “Obviously, I like playing with Remps and Hoovs and we have good chemistry playing together. But coach is trying to find the right lines and be able to have a

balanced lineup, which is fine. “It worked out really well, and I think everybody agrees that as long as we’re winning, everything’s good. You’ll probably see that (tonight, too).” Although they’ve lost four of their last five games, the Clippers have had their bright spots. In the midst of that four-game losing streak, they pushed the Penticton Vees to double overtime before being scored on Saturday to lose the game. The Vees are ranked as the top Junior A team in Canada and are currently on a 20-game winning streak. Brosseau scored twice in his team’s 3-2 loss against the Vees. “We’re not happy with the way things went on the road trip,” he said. “I think we played a pretty good game against Penticton, but we still lost. We can build from there, but we’ve got to get our heads in it. “We’ve got a big weekend coming up and we’ve been playing pretty well at home, so we’ve got to keep it going and take a step forward here.” It’s never easy when the Bulldogs come to town — the two teams have faced one another in a playoff series two of the last three years and both series went the maximum number of games. “They just work hard,” Brosseau said. “They swarm and they work hard, so we have to match or better that. I truly believe when we play our system, we’re a hard team to beat, so that’s what we’re going to do.” Scott.McKenzie@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Two late goals from Nolan Richardson were enough to earn the Nanaimo Buccaneers a point, but not a win, against the Campbell River Storm Thursday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Bucs lost 4-3 in double-overtime on a goal from their former teammate, Joe Gage. Down 3-0 after the first period on Storm goals from Carter Hikichi, Christian Brandt and Braeden Cyra, the Nanaimo comeback began in the second period. It started with a Robert Mitchell goal four minutes into the middle frame

on assists from Nick Gomerich and Jake Calverley. The Bucs went into the third still down 3-1, but Nolan Richardson scored twice in the third period to tie the game and send it to overtime. Both Gomerich and Calverley picked up assists in the third period. Neither team was able to score in the first five-minute, four-on-four overtime period, but as the teams played threeon-three Gage scored the winner for Campbell River. The win gave the Storm a three-point cushion for first place over the Bucs in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League North Division.

Whitecaps still need to find more offence Vancouver side was eliminated in conference semifinal, coach says focus will be to bolster the club’s attack JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have spent most of the last two seasons looking for more offence, and that search will continue into 2016. The Whitecaps were eliminated in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference semifinal over the weekend after failing to score in over 180 minutes of action against the Portland Timbers in what turned out to be a 2-0 aggregate loss. Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson met the media on Thursday to dissect the season and said that he will again focus on trying to bolster the club’s attack. “We know we need to improve in the goals area,” said Robinson. “Can we do that by bringing one player in? Yeah, we possibly could.” What is more likely, however, is for Vancouver to continue mining Central and South American leagues to compliment some of the young talent up front that has shown flashes of brilliance, but also a maddening lack of poise at critical moments. Uruguayan striker Octavio Rivero joined the club last winter and started the season with five goals in six league games before adding just five more over the next 30, including the two playoff outings. “It’s important he comes back fitter and stronger for next year,” said Rob-

inson. “Expectations in this city are brilliant. You go from being the best to being the worst in a short period of time. He’s certainly not the best and he’s certainly not the worst. We know he’s a work in progress.”

Uruguayan midfielder Cristian Techera was added on a loan deal partway through the season and contributed seven goals in his combined 24 games, while Gambian forward Kekuta Manneh added seven of his

own in 34 matches. “I think we showed maturity throughout the season, but we’re still a young group so we can still go a ways there,” said goalkeeper David Ousted, who tied for first in MLS with

Burris, Levi Mitchell finalists for top honour DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Henry Burris is proving age is just a state of mind. The 40-year-old Ottawa Redblacks quarterback was named a finalist for the CFL’s outstanding player award Thursday in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada and league head coaches. Calgary Stampeders star Bo Levi Mitchell was the West Division nominee. Burris had a CFL-record 481 completions and career-best 5,693 yards to become the oldest passing leader in league history. Burris, the 2010 award winner, was instrumental in Ottawa (12-6) finishing atop the East Division after winning just twice in its inaugural 2014 campaign. “It proves all of his detractors wrong, and there were many last year, a lot of people who chose not to understand what our situation was as an expansion team,” said Redblacks GM Marcel Desjardins. “It shows how professional he is in his preparation, be it physical, mental or even spiritual. “The guy is committed to his craft on all levels and does everything he can to best prepare himself each week.” Burris had a league-record 45 completions in a win Oct. 1 versus Montreal and six TD passes in last weekend’s 44-28 home victory over

BURRIS

Hamilton. Burris posted a stellar 70.9-per cent completion percentage with 26 TDs against 13 interceptions after throwing more picks (14) than touchdowns (11) in 2014. Desjardins believes Burris came into 2015 with something to prove. “I think deep down he feels he’s the same guy this year as last year,” Desjardins said. “Any time anybody gets criticized you want to try and prove people wrong, that’s just human nature. “There were a lot of issues (last year) that weren’t of his making but he was the one everyone pointed the finger at.” Mitchell took to social media to applaud Burris’s season. “Congrats to #HenryBurris on East Nominee! 40 or not, what you did this year was truly amazing. Great

reg. season. #CFL . Now the fun begins,” he tweeted. Mitchell, the 2014 Grey Cup MVP, was second in CFL passing (4,551 yards) as Calgary (14-4) finished second in the West Division. He’s the sixth Stampeder in eight years to be named a finalist for the award, including Burris in 2008 and 2010. Mitchell’s 13 wins as a starter were a league high and he had six 300-yard passing games. Mitchell is 28-6 overall, the best record of any quarterback through his first 34 career starts. The other nominees include: linebackers Adam Bighill of the B.C. Lions and Simoni Lawrence of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (defensive player); Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive lineman Jamaal Westerman and Ottawa Redblacks receiver Brad Sinopoli (Canadian); B.C.’s Jovan Olafioye and Ottawa’s SirVincent Rogers (lineman); Calgary Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes and Hamilton kick-returner Brandon Banks (special-teams); and receivers Derel Walker of the Edmonton Eskimos and Vidal Hazelton of the Toronto Argonauts (rookie). Earlier on Thursday, Ottawa’s Rick Campbell and Edmonton’s Chris Jones were named finalists for coachof-the-year honours. The CFL will unveil its top individual performers

Nov. 26 in Winnipeg. Bighill recorded a CFL- and careerhigh 117 tackles this season. The five-foot-10 230-pound linebacker also had four sacks, an interception and fumble recovery. The six-foot-one 228-pound Lawrence recorded career highs in tackles (80) and sacks (five). The four-year veteran added two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. The six-foot-three 249-pound Westerman had a banner first season with Winnipeg, finishing second overall in sacks (17) with 61 tackles. The native of Brooklyn, N.Y., who grew up in Brampton, Ont., was also the Bombers’ pick as outstanding player and defensive player. Sinopoli, a Peterborough, Ont., native, was the CFL’s top Canadian receiver with 1,035 yards on 86 receptions with a league-high 471 yards after the catch. Sinopoli played quarterback at the University of Ottawa, winning the 2010 Hec Crighton Trophy as Canadian university football’s top player. The six-foot-six 325-pound Olafioye earned his third top lineman nomination, winning the award in 2012. The 27-year-old Detroit native anchored the Lions’ offensive line that allowed just 34 sacks, one behind league leaders Montreal and Calgary.

13 shutouts. “I think it’s obvious to say that we need to find goals from the guys already in the group and if the coach and the club are going to bring new players in.” All told, Vancouver scored 45 times, three more than 2014, but far fewer than the increase of 25 that Robinson set as a target. He was, however, quick to point out that 36 goals against tied for fewest in MLS and is something to build on moving forward. “If I get another three (goals) next year then we’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “You’ve got to give yourself a platform and we’ve done that the last two years because we’ve built from the back.” One of the main reasons for the lack off offence came down to injuries, including a series of setbacks for captain and talismanic midfielder Pedro Morales that kept him out for long stretches. The club’s highest paid player started just 15 games, but still contributed six goals and four assists, and Robinson said he expects the Chilean to be fit for the start of training camp in the New Year. Vancouver finished second in the West with a franchise-record 53 points and accomplished many of its targets for the campaign, including the club’s first Amway Canadian Championship and first home playoff game, but the post-season defeat still stings and will for sometime.

Redblacks not worried about next opponent LISA WALLACE THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Pouring rain doesn’t make for an ideal practice setting, but the Ottawa Redblacks had no complaints Thursday. With a bye ahead of next weekend’s East Final, the Redblacks are making the most of their extra practice time and say dealing with inclement weather is just part of the preparation process. “This was a good day today because it was raining,” said head coach Rick Campbell, the East nominee for the CFL coach of the year award. “We were in pads and guys could have just gone through the motions, but there was a good energy and I think guys are looking forward to the game. It’s still a ways away, but I was very impressed with the whole group.” The Redblacks will play the winner of Sunday’s division semifinal between the Hamilton Tiger Cats and Toronto Argonauts. “I feel the key for us right now is being mindful of what’s going on around us and being more in our playbook and just studying and being prepared for any team that’s coming,” said receiver Ernest Jackson. “You just want to be ready when a play is called to be able to execute it.”

Caddies for Mickelson, Kuchar will be used in broadcast

Dipoto picks up pitcher as first trade as M’s GM Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto is wasting little time in addressing one of his team’s most glaring needs. Seattle added to its bullpen Thursday, acquiring 38-year-old righthander Joaquin Benoit from the San Diego Padres for two minor league prospects — right-handed pitcher Enyel De Los Santos and infielder Nelson Ward. Dipoto saw Benoit pitch in September. He raved about his changeup and was impressed with his ability to still throw in the mid-90s by season’s end.

DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The caddies for Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar will carry a lighter load on the PGA Tour next week — microphones instead of golf bags. Golf Channel has hired Jim “Bones” Mackay and John Wood as part of its broadcast team for two days during the RSM Classic at Sea Island. Mackay has been Mickelson’s only caddie on the PGA Tour. Wood spent nine years with Hunter Mahan until leaving to work for Kuchar in 2016. “What’s going to be pretty cool is hearing their point of view on what’s going on,” Tommy Roy, the golf producer for NBC Sports and Golf Channel, said Thursday. “We hear so many players refer to ‘we’ and it’s clear it’s a team getting this done on the course. So this will be the perspective from the other half of the team.” Mackay and Woods will be on-course reporters for key groups during Friday and Saturday rounds at Sea Island. NBC televised the Kiwi Challenge in 2008 when Steve Williams, still the caddie for Tiger Woods, worked as an on-course reporter in his native New Zealand. Roy said he has been working on this project for more than a year. He identified Mackay and Wood as prime candidates because of their communication skills and “that’s the No. 1 attribute you look for in a television announcer.” Over the past year, Roy said he has brought the two caddies into the truck to see the operational side of a television broadcast, and he had them wear headsets to adjust to hearing Roy’s commands and how announcers are to respond. He said Roger Maltbie would be helping them with where to stand — not next to the player, in this case — and other issues. They will have a rehearsal Thursday morning from Sea Island before going live in the second round. “I really appreciate the chance,” Mackay said. “I think it’s going to be cool. I’m fascinated by the whole TV side of it. Tommy had us out to the truck a couple of times. We had a chance to appreciate the amazing amount of hard work and attention to detail. “It’s an honour and it will be a lot of fun. I’m excited about it, but I also want to make Tommy happy to have us out there.” The last time Mackay was a PGA Tour event without caddying was the 1993 Ryder Cup, and he wound up working as a caddie assistant. Whether this becomes a regular part of future Golf Channel and NBC broadcast is to be determined.

Russians will ‘admit’ to some doping allegations

More than three years on, the stench of the loss still lingers. The Canadian men’s soccer team travelled to Honduras in October 2012 needing only a draw to make the final round of qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil, but instead suffered an embarrassing 8-1 beating that crushed their hopes of making the tournament for the first time since the country’s only appearance in 1986. “It’s something that I know a lot of us have been thinking about,” midfielder Atiba Hutchinson said this week. “It hurt us a lot.” Canada has an opportunity to avenge that defeat when it opens the penultimate CONCACAF qualifying round for the 2018 World Cup against Honduras on Friday, the first match between the nations since the horror show in San Pedro Sula.

JAMES ELLINGWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — With an Olympic boycott ruled out, Russia is planning to at least partially admit it has a doping problem. Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told The Associated Press on Thursday that there will “not in any case” be a boycott of next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. A short time later in a separate interview, the acting president of the Russian track federation told the AP he is ready to own up to some of the charges levelled in the World Anti-Doping Agency commission’s massive report on doping in the country. “We admit some things, we argue with some things, some are already fixed, it’s a variety,” said Vadim Zelichenok, declining to provide further details. “It’s not for the press.” The governing body of track and field is expected to rule Friday on whether to suspend Russia from competition because of the doping scandal. If Russia is banned, the country’s track and field team could be excluded from next year’s Olympics. Monday’s damning report by the WADA commission recommended that the Russian track federation be suspended, saying its athletes and officials were involved in “extensive” use of performance-enhancing drugs, obstructed doping tests and helped to cover up drug use. The report said Zelichenok “refused to co-operate” with investigators. Even if Russia’s track and field team is banned, Mutko told the AP that the country has no intention of boycotting the Olympics. “Russia is against a boycott. Russia is against political interference in sport,” Mutko said. “Understand that Russia is a dependable partner of the international Olympic movement.” Mutko also appealed for Russia’s track team to be allowed to compete,

“We admit to some things, we argue with some things, some are already fixed, it’s a variety. It’s not for the press.“ Vadim Zelichenok, Russia track federation

arguing that a blanket ban would unfairly punish clean athletes. “It will be painful for those athletes with clean consciences who could compete, that’s the first thing. And the second thing is that it goes against the spirit of the WADA code,” Mutko said. “The commission itself writes about it in its report. It’s about protecting the athletes with clean consciences.” During the Cold War, the United States and allies boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics in protest at the Soviet Union. Four years later, there was a Soviet-led boycott of the Olympics in Los Angeles. IOC President Thomas Bach, meanwhile, met with Russian Olympic Committee head Alexander Zhukov and other officials in Lausanne, Switzerland, amid signs that both sides were working toward an agreement that could avoid a ban. Bach has said sanctions are up to the IAAF and WADA, but also stressed that the IOC will be ready to strip any medals from Olympic athletes mentioned in the report who are found guilty of doping. On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted clean athletes should be allowed to compete and asked Russian sports officials to carry out an internal investigation into the allegations made in the doping report. Mutko said Russia would provide constant updates about its investigation. “Practically every day, at the end of the day, we release some kind of information message about the steps

we’re taking and we will continue to do that,” Mutko said. “We’re prepared to inform international society about the steps we’re taking, the investigation, the decisions.” In one move, the Russian Olympic Committee asked former Russian track federation president Valentin Balakhnichev to resign from its executive board. The WADA commission’s report said Balakhnichev was “ultimately responsible” for doping and coverups at the federation during his tenure and linked him to instances in which money was allegedly extorted from athletes. The Russian government has consistently slammed the report for what it says is a lack of evidence. Mutko said there was an overreliance on confidential sources and condemned the inclusion of material from undercover recordings made by whistleblowers, which he said violated the rights of those accused of doping. The scandal also entered the arena of international diplomacy as the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a stinging critique of the report’s authors. “The position of the special commission on doping with regards to Russian athletes looks extremely biased, politicized,” ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in her weekly briefing, adding that sources cited in the report seem “extremely doubtful.” In southern Black Sea resort of Sochi, the host city of last year’s Winter Olympics, some Russian track and field athletes trained in the sun on Thursday. Many remained upbeat about their chances of competing in the Olympics while questioning why other countries were not being investigated alongside Russia. “It happens all around the world. Why are these measures taken only for the Russian team? I don’t understand this,” said Maxim Sidorov, a shot putter who competed at the 2012 Olympics.

‘Uncle Drew’ makes his return

Hardy hasn’t been what Cowboys need

Cleveland star Kyrie Irving’s wildly popular creation is back for a fourth chapter TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

y his own estimate, Kyrie Irving figures about half the people who shout at him in public use his name. The other half yell for Uncle Drew. The character Irving created — the old man who shows up at the playground and, as Drew would say, gets “buckets” — is back. Pepsi and Irving released Chapter 4 of the wildly popular Uncle Drew story on Thursday, this episode filmed at a Miami park over the summer and also featuring Ray Allen, Baron Davis and actor J.B. Smoove. “I was actually on the court shooting once and this little kid and his father came over and the father says the kid watches Uncle Drew all the time,” Irving said. “The kid was two or three at the most and he whispered to me in the cutest kid voice, ‘I get buckets.’ I started laughing hysterically. “It put into perspective what Uncle Drew means to people out there.” The numbers provide plenty of proof that the character’s appeal is broad. On YouTube alone, Uncle Drew videos have been viewed more than 60 million times. It’s something that Irving — the Cleveland Cavaliers star who is expected to soon make his season debut after recovering from

the knee injury that knocked him out of last season’s NBA Finals — never envisioned. He was thrilled when the first Drew chapter three years ago crossed the 1,000-view mark. “Man, this is amazing,” Irving said. “And now thinking about the progress we’ve had, being on Chapter 4 now, it’s really amazing.” Chapter 4 starts with a pair of new characters, Louis (played by Davis) and Angelo (played

by Smoove) talking with Drew about the best shooters to play the game. During that debate, one brings up Drew’s longtime nemesis Walt (played by Allen). Everyone, like the characters played by Kevin Love, Nate Robinson and Maya Moore in the past, is made to appear significantly older. Drew and Walt rekindle their rivalry by playing H-O-R-S-E, with a crowd surrounding the court.

Past chapters have shown Drew playing full-court 5-on5, though this one was filmed when Irving was still in the midst of recovering from the knee issue and that likely played a role in how he crafted the latest script. “What happens out there when we do these, it’s not fake,” Irving said. “We’re out there playing and showing why we’re NBA players. That’s what makes the spot so funny. We’re these older people, these older personas, and teaching these young guys that, ‘hey, we can still do this.”’ Drew’s name is derived from Irving’s middle name, Andrew. There’s more chapters of the story planned in the future, and yes, there’s hope that one day Irving’s fellow Cleveland star LeBron James — who endorses a different drink company — might be able to work his way onto the court alongside Uncle Drew. “Uncle Drew is the guy that I used to see at the park with the sweatpants on at six or seven in the morning, working on his game,” Irving said. “And here comes the young guy, thinking he’s going to be what he looks like: slow, very methodical in his moves, complaining the young guys don’t understand the fundamentals of the game are what make the game special and fun. I wanted to bring him to life with Uncle Drew.”

SCHUYLER DIXON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, Texas — Greg Hardy hasn’t played the part of a leader much since Dallas owner Jerry Jones described him that way following the polarizing defensive end’s sideline tantrum during one of six consecutive losses. He has mostly disappeared when the locker room is open to reporters since photos of the bruised ex-girlfriend from his domestic violence case were published online last week. Even opposing players wonder if the scrutiny is getting to Hardy because they say he doesn’t seem like the same player. Despite Hardy leading the Cowboys in sacks (four) while playing in half as many games as most of his teammates, Jones and coach Jason Garrett now get asked whether it was worth it to sign him out of Carolina. Then there’s the issue of how much the free-for-all of criticism is weighing on a team that hasn’t lost this many games in a row since 1989 going into Sunday at Tampa Bay. “I don’t weigh decisions that I make at a point later on and say, ‘Was it worth it?”’ Jones said on his radio show this week. “I’m looking ahead. We want to have our team in shape here to go down and do a good job against Tampa, and that’s really the way I look at it.” Jones called Hardy a leader despite the player’s physical confrontation with special teams coach Rich Bisaccia after the Cowboys gave up what turned out to be the winning kickoff return for a touchdown in a loss to the New York Giants. Before that, Hardy had to answer to Garrett twice, starting with an inappropriate tweet about the Sept. 11 attacks during the draft. Next was a headline-grabbing comment about Tom Brady’s wife the first time he talked to Cowboys reporters, the week of his Dallas debut against New England following a four-game suspension. The photos from the Carolina incident had been out less than a week when Hardy changed his Twitter bio with what amounted to a declaration of innocence and a claim of discrimination in the case. After yet another talk with Garrett, the bio quickly changed. And Garrett faced yet another round of questions — just as he did after the sixth straight loss last Sunday.

Seahawks plan to improve in red zone TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — Of all the issues that cropped up during the Seattle Seahawks’ 4-4 start, their inability to score touchdowns in the red zone ranked near the top. With the addition of Jimmy Graham, an already good red zone offence was supposed to get even more difficult to stop inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. But it hasn’t happened and Seattle has tumbled near the bottom of the league when it comes to red zone efficiency. “It’s really important. If we’re scoring from a long ways out, I’m OK. If we’re driving the ball down there, we’ve got to get in the end zone, get our touchdowns,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “It’s a great area of focus for us and an area for us to improve. That will follow along with our third down execution too, but we’ve just got to get in the end zone.” Seattle is tied for last in the

CARROLL

NFL in red zone possessions with just 17 drives inside the opponents’ 20 through eight games. The Seahawks are last by a wide margin with just five red zone touchdowns and are just one of three teams without double-digit TDs. And when they get those opportunities, the plays being called aren’t working. The Seahawks are averaging 1.94 yards per play. Now compare those numbers with what the Seahawks did a year ago. Seattle ranked 10th in the league with 31 red zone touchdowns on 60 possessions

and averaged more than three yards per play. “It first starts with me. I have to do a better job,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said. “I have to find ways to get the ball to the right guy and making sure that we find ways to stick it in the end zone in whatever way.” The expectation was those numbers that had Seattle in the upper half of the league last season were going to improve with the addition of Graham. Last season with New Orleans, Graham was tied for eighth in the NFL with 12 red zone receptions and nine of those going for touchdowns. This season, Graham has three receptions in the red zone and one touchdown. “We want touchdowns. We want to get those touchdowns, and he can do that,” Carroll said. “He’s averaged nine, 10, 11 or something, 10 touchdowns a year. It’s a long year. A lot of games left. We’ll see how it goes.”

Beyond just the red zone, one of Seattle’s biggest offensive problems has been third downs and extending drives to even have the chance at running plays inside the 20. Seattle offensive co-ordinator Darrell Bevell used the example of Seattle’s last game against Dallas to point out the inconsistency. Seattle opened the game with a 12-play, 72-yard drive that ended at the Dallas 8, had four first downs and resulted in a field goal. They closed the game in similar fashion with a 17-play, 79-yard drive that used up more than 5 minutes, included six first downs and again resulted in a short field goal from Steven Hauschka that provided the winning points. In between those two drives, Seattle had seven total possessions that resulted in four threeand-outs, nine total first downs and just seven points. Seattle is converting 37.6 per cent of its third downs. Last season it was 42.5 per cent.

Early offence leads Rangers to 6-3 win over St. Louis THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Derick Brassard, Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Hayes scored in the first period, and the New York Rangers beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 on Thursday night for their seventh straight victory. J.T. Miller, Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi also scored for New York, which improved to 12-2-2. Dmitrij Jaskin, Vladimir Tarasenko and Troy Brouwer scored for St.

Louis, which had won three in a row. The Blues fell to 11-4-1. By the first intermission, the Rangers led 3-1 and the Blues had made a goaltending change. DEVILS 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 Sergey Kalinin scored a power-play goal with 2:27 left and New Jersey beat Chicago for its second victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions in a week. With Patrick Kane off for high sticking, Corey

Crawford stopped Kyle Palmieriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot from the left circle. But Kalinin was alone at the edge of the crease and slipped the rebound in the net. Adam Henrique and Palmieri scored in the second to put New Jersey ahead, Cory Schneider made 27 saves and the Devils rebounded from a 2-0 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday night. New Jersey has won three of four â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a 4-2 win over Chicago last Friday night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and is 9-3-0 after starting 0-3-1.

Chicago rookie Artemi Panarin scored from a sharp angle with 6:41 left in the third. Kane assisted on that one and scored a 5-on-3 goal in the first to extend his point streak to 11 games. COYOTES 4, OILERS 1 Max Domi had a goal and an assist, Mike Smith stopped 27 shots and Arizona raced past Edmonton after a slow start. Edmonton played the night before, but had the early jump

on Arizona, scoring in the opening three minutes. The Coyotes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop once they got rolling and extended their point streak against the Oilers to 19 straight games (16-0-3), including six consecutive victories. Oliver Ekman-Larsson got Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence started with a goal in the first period and Shane Doan scored in the second. Stefan Elliott scored his first goal since joining the Coyotes and Domi put it away with his eighth of the season in the third.

26 DIVERSIONS BLONDIE

@NanaimoDaily

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be spontaneous, and make choices accordingly. You have the ability to come up with the correct response or gain the traction you desire. You could be a bit sensitive if you overthink a situation. Your responses attract many people. Tonight: TGIF! Treat a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Relate to others directly; they will appreciate the eye contact, the caring and the attention. You could voice a complaint, but it probably will be a while before the other party really registers what you have said. Tonight: With a favorite person, christening the weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others will make an effort beyond the call of duty. Smile and get into weekend mode as soon as you can. You will be very happy to let go of problems and join a friend or loved one early. Tonight: Let someone else choose, so you can go along for the ride. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might have a lot to do, especially as someone could drop some errands or extra responsibilities on you. You’ll want to say “no,” but you probably won’t. Don’t make this gracious attitude a regular happening, for your own sake. Tonight: Head home early. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a sense of the good life, more than many other signs do. Today it kicks in, which allows you as well those around you to really get into the moment. You could have a great

WORD FIND

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2015

time at work, on the bus or wherever. It is a question of attitude. Tonight: Opt for more passion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others have expectations that involve your home and domestic life. You might want to take off and do what you want before you have to get back. Tension is high, and tempers could flare. You’ll want to defer to others or eliminate this situation. Tonight: It is your call. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ability to have a conversation and get to the bottom of a disagreement will be important. Nevertheless, you’ll need the other party to want a resolution as well, rather than having his or her way. You know what you want. Why not make it so? Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Watch what is happening within your immediate circle, and take your cue from a friend. You might not be aware of how much frustration you seem to be sitting on. The unexpected plays a big role in what goes on. Understand where others stand. Tonight: Play the night away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be beaming from ear to ear and not even realize it! Others seek you out, as they have not seen you like this for a while. You’ll need to stay anchored when dealing with a family member who can be very emotional. Tonight: Put your best foot forward. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have an opinion that others might not want to hear, especially a superior or older relative. It probably would be a good idea to avoid a collision by saying nothing. Keep

communication flowing, even if you have to stay quiet. Tonight: Try a new night spot. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Remain expressive of your feelings. Let friends know where you are coming from. A partner will appreciate some insight. Your fun nature comes out. Don’t push a loved one too hard, as he or she could have a strong reaction. Tonight: Enjoy your friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will feel pressured to show your best side. You could be left holding the bag at work. Are you ready for that? Perhaps you are frustrated that you can’t join your friends more quickly. A partner seems to want your time and attention. Tonight: A must appearance. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Nov. 13) This year you can’t seem to hold back your expressiveness. You seem to be more open and willing to share. Your personality melts barriers and boundaries. Still, be careful about others crossing over boundaries. You could feel as if you need more money to supplement your lifestyle. If you are single, you meet people with ease. You possess an innate charm and desirability that draw in many people. Trust in your magnetism. If you are attached, the two of you will decide on a major expenditure this year. You will be even happier once you get past this point. SAGITTARIUS encourages you to take risks.

DEATHS

BREED, William Anthony (Bill) It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the family of William (Bill) Breed, announce the passing of their dear husband, father, grandfather and friend on November 5th, 2015 at the age of seventy-two. Predeceased by his parents, Mary and William Breed, Bill is survived by his wife of fifty years: Jackie, his daughter: Cindy (Alvin), son: Mark (Sandra), grandchildren: Dylan, Steven, Sarah, Hillary, Benjamin and Curt, sister: Madeline, brother in-law: Malcolm (Barbara), many nieces and nephews and long time work partner and friend, Craig (Denise.) Bill was born in Victoria, grew up in Burnaby, and spent a short time in Surrey, when he and Jackie married. They moved to Ladysmith, where they spent a number of years until finally settling in Nanaimo. Bill was a welder/fabricator for many years and although he retired in 2008, he remained working in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;casualâ&#x20AC;? role until he passed. Anyone who knew Bill would know that he was happiest when he was working. Whether it was at the shop he managed for so many years, at home, or lending a helping hand to friends when in need. If he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the throes of an existing project, he could be found at the dining room table, at all hours, with his pencil, ruler and sketch pad, designing and creating his next one. A family man, Bill was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who enjoyed nothing more than time spent with his grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening, fishing and his weekend game of golf with his friends at Pryde Vista Golf Course. The family wishes to extend their gratitude and heartfelt thanks to NRGH with a special thank you to Dr. Wigmore, Dr. Ehman, nurse â&#x20AC;&#x153;Karen,â&#x20AC;? and the amazing team of ambulance attendants. A celebration of Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be announced at a later date. ~ Dad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you will be deeply missed and will remain in our hearts forever ~

RELIGION

Mormon church faces backlash for LGBT policy BRADY MCCOMBS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Mormon church rules targeting gay members and their children have triggered a firestorm of backlash from church members of all political backgrounds. Mormon scholar Patrick Mason said the symbolism of targeting kids has riled up even conservative, orthodox Latter-day Saints who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually get on the LGBT bandwagon or question church decisions. Under the new rules, issued last week, children living with gay parents are barred from being baptized until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 18. After that, they can be baptized only if they disavow same-sex relationships. The policy also makes gay marriages a sin worthy of expulsion. It marked a dramatic detour from the religionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent push to carve out a more compassionate stance on LGBT issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The surprising impact has been the amount of people who are confused and troubled and disturbed and, frankly, repulsed,â&#x20AC;? said Mason, associate professor of religion at Claremont Graduate University in California and Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And these arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just progressives and LGBT advocates. ... They are saying: â&#x20AC;&#x2122;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t square with me.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He said the furious blowback is leading to widespread speculation that church leaders are working on revisions to the policy, which was leaked to the public after being emailed to local church leaders around the world. Because the rules were made in the church handbook, and not considered doctrinal change, Mormon leaders have wiggle room if they choose to revise them. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spokesman Eric Hawkins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately have any comment on the speculation. Church leaders said the changes were designed to reiterate the conservative faithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctrinal opposition to gay marriage and provide clarity to lay leaders around the globe asking questions after last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriages. The revisions also allow children of gay parents the chance to mature before making a decision about whether to fully invest in a faith that shuns their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sexuality.

Not guilty pleas in fatal derailment court case

Election will not shift postal union challenge

Victims of communism memorial in question

A number of accused have pleaded not guilty to federal charges laid in connection with the 2013 Lac-Megantic train derailment. The accused are all former employees of now-defunct Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd., and most were represented by lawyers in court on Thursday. The July 2013 disaster claimed 47 lives in the small Quebec town and forced thousands from their homes as fire from the derailed train engulf a destroyed most of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown core. Most were represented by lawyers but train engineer Thomas Harding appeared in person alongside his lawyer, Thomas Walsh, at the courthouse on Thursday.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says it will continue with its Federal Court challenge of Canada Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to end home mail delivery, even with a new federal government in power. A union spokesman said Thursday that while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged to maintain home delivery across the country, it was said as a campaign promise. Sylvain Lapointe, a national director of the union for the Montreal area, said the Liberals have never discussed what would happen to sites where community mailboxes have been recently erected to replace home mail delivery. Lapointe said that given the uncertainty, the union will maintain the legal challenge.

Heritage Minister Melanie Joly is promising a prompt decision on plans for a controversial memorial to victims of communism. Joly says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll decide on the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate after talking to all stakeholders. The Harper government approved erecting the monument just a few blocks west of Parliament Hill. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said after a meeting with Joly, that the proposed site â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not acceptable to anyone.â&#x20AC;? The City of Ottawa and architects have roundly condemned not just the site but the chosen design â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a series of hulking concrete rows etched with 100 million memory squares meant to represent lives lost to communist regimes.

‘THE 33’ IS VISCERAL Lou Diamond Phillips as Don Lucho in “The 33. “ [AP PHOTO]

Tale of Chilean miners remains shocking The 33 STARRING: Antonio Banderas, Lou Diamond Phillips, Juliette Binoche, Gabriel Byrne Director: Patricia Riggen PLAYING AT: Galaxy Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 127 minutes

JOCELYN NOVECK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ovies are forever trying to capture the essence of the human spirit, and by that measure, it’s hard to imagine there was ever a story more tailor-made for the movies than the incredible 2010 Chilean mine rescue. If the details are hazy in your mind, just go to YouTube right now and watch the first miner reach the surface in that tiny capsule they built. We dare you not to cry. And that’s actually part of the problem with The 33, directed by Patricia Riggen. The real-life saga was so visceral — and so visual, unfolding as it did on live TV — that it’s tough to beat the memory. You could say that such a movie writes itself, but that’s not true — a

‘It would have been nice to see it told here with a little more imagination.’ cinematic portrayal of an event so recent needs to do something creative to move things forward, present a new angle, offer a different perspective. The 33 is well-meaning, well-crafted and faithful to the source material, but ultimately it feels disappointingly formulaic. We begin with a happy scene, a festive retirement party. There, we meet many of the men, including Mario Sepulveda (Antonio Banderas), the most charismatic of the bunch; he asks supervisor Don Lucho (Lou Diamond Phillips) if he can work the next day, though it’s his day off.

In the village, we also quickly meet Dario Segovia (Juan Pablo Raba), a troubled miner with an addiction problem, and the caring older sister he neglects, the empanada-seller Maria (Juliette Binoche, in an underdrawn role that never quite seems to fit). Alas, these hasty interchanges don’t give much meaningful insight into the characters (indeed, the script’s thin characterizations are the weak link of the film.) The next day, the men arrive at the mouth of the mine. “Is this the only way in?” asks newcomer Carlos. “The only way in, and the only way out,” replies Banderas’ Mario, doing the most with a line that’s a little too obvious. And then the mine collapses, with frightening violence. Now we have, essentially, two dramas unfolding: Above ground, where the desperate families have set up camp, and below, where 33 men are trapped 2,300 feet down in searing heat. In the so-called “refuge,” food provisions consist of a few cans of tuna, some cookies, a bit of milk. Don Lucho informs the men that death is surely imminent. “It took 100 years for them to dig this deep,” he says. “We’re too far down.” On the surface, primary responsibility falls to the brand-new minister of mining, Laurence Golborne (Rodrigo Santoro, whose face you

know because he’s the handsomest guy in any movie he’s in). It falls to Golborne to keep the family members — particularly the feisty, insistent Maria — informed, and at one point to convince even chief engineer Andre Sougarret (Gabriel Byrne, also underused) that hope is alive. The men are left to subsist on 100 calories per day. A bite of canned tuna turns, in the film’s most interesting scene, into a dreamlike feast for each one. This fantasy sequence is compelling but a bit jarring, too, considering the film’s otherwise straightforward tone. The men are close to starving when the drill finally breaks through and they’re able to send up a note, in red paint, saying all 33 are alive. At this point, moviegoer, you’ll need your Kleenex. But it will take nearly two more months — to day 69 — to get the men out. Fights erupt; egos clash. And then the first man is wedging himself into that tiny capsule. The rescuers don’t know if it’ll work. We end with real footage of the men today, together on a beach, and it’s a moving sight. Their story will never get old. It would have been nice, though, to see it told here with a little more imagination and a little less formula.

◆ LONDON

Ex-Motorhead drummer, Phil Taylor, dies at age 61 Heavy metal band Motorhead says former drummer Phil Taylor, an iconic metal thrasher nicknamed “Philthy Animal,” has died. He was 61. “Fast” Eddie Clarke, guitarist with the Grammy-winning rockers, said on Facebook that Taylor died late Wednesday. He didn’t disclose a cause of death, saying Thursday that Taylor “had been ill for some time but that does not make it any easier when the time finally comes.” He said Taylor was “one hell of a character.”

Taylor drummed on some of Motorhead’s best-known albums, including Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades and the live recording No Sleep ’til Hammersmith. His distinctive double bass-drum style on tracks like “Overkill” helped define a new genre — thrash metal. On Motorhead’s Facebook page, the band paid tribute to “Lil’ Philthy . . . he who fuelled many a young boy’s punk/ metal hairstyles . . . he who played the drums with fury and intent.” Ozzy Osbourne called his death a “terrible, terrible loss.” Taylor left the band in 1984, rejoined in 1987 and left again in 1992. — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COMEDY

Nanaimo comic slithers home with legendary wrestler Roberts DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Touring with Jake “The Snake” Roberts is the next big show for Nanaimo comedian Peter Hudson. Hudson, who won the 2013 Funny Fest talent search in Calgary, has toured with Jon Lovitz, of Saturday Night Live fame and opened for the musician Everlast and the band Platinum Blonde. Life is “pretty cool, I’m enjoying it,” says the Nanaimo comedian on a break at his day job, as a foreman at the Western Forest Products sawmill at Duke Point. Hudson join the former World Wrestling Entertainment star, and now stand-up comic, Jake the Snake, on his Unspoken Word Tour. “I understand he’s a great comedian,” Hudson said. “I haven’t met him yet, but I idolized him all my life. He’s a legend.” The tour launches at the Laugh Shop at Calgary’s Blackfoot Inn, Nov. 9, with a Nanaimo show Nov. 18. Matt Billon, considered one of the best comedians in Canada, completes the trio of entertainment. “It’ll be a lot of everyday stuff,” Hudson said. “The crowd’s just going to love him. He’s amazing.”

Jake will share some humorous stories from his years spent in the ring as the menacing, intimidating and hypnotic wrestling superstar who was equally capable of beating opponents physically as psychologically. Known for smuggling a massive python into the ring in a burlap sack, Jake used fear as a weapon as deftly as he used pain. But he won fans over with his personality. That personality will shine through on the tour. Hudson, who fell for a Nanaimo woman and maintains his day job at the WFP mill, is staying close to home. His brand of humour is in demand, but he can’t take every job offered, maintain his home-life and stay gainfully employed. But he sees this gig as a step in his plan to put Nanaimo on the comedy tour map. “I have to work a real job. It’s hard — it’s just what you can fit in,” he said. “I fell in love with a girl from Nanaimo, and I’m staying here now. What I’m doing to grow, I want to work to bring (comedians) here. I know all the comedians in western Canada and I can bring some of the best acts here.” After several years at it, he said he feels “like I’ve grown as a comedian,” he said. “I started out really

dirty, I’m realizing there is so much more.” He’s taken cues from the pros, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Louis C.K. and tell jokes without relying on shock or rudeness. “I’ve had shows where I completely failed, because of it,” he said. Despite his successes, he’s had shows where no one laughed for 30 minutes, and “I never want that to happen again.” He’s learning to better read the audience and to mix up the comedy. “You mature,” he said. “I’m more comfortable with the crowd. You read your crowd and if something is not working, you go in another direction.” He said comedy is now enjoying a resurgence in the entertainment world, and he sees potential in Nanaimo. He plans more gigs in future. “I’m going to be here for a while.” The Snake comes to the Queen’s Hotel, 34 Victoria Cres., in Nanaimo Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 plus service charge, $35 at the door and on sale at Lucid, The Dog’s Ear, Desire Tattoo, The Queens or online at ticketzone.com.

DIVERSIONS 31

Sorority not about hanging out with boys Dear Annie: I am in a sorority and proudly wear my Greek letters. However, when I go outside the campus, I receive a lot of negative feedback. People assume things about me that are not true, and this can be very hurtful. They think I haze, hang out promiscuously with frat boys, drink, do drugs and care only about getting a “Mrs.” degree. Let me tell you, this is not what Greek life is about. I, as well as a few of my sorority sisters and fraternity cousins, am on a full-ride scholarship and must maintain a 3.5 grade-point average or better. We take random drug tests to make sure our organization is clean. We have strict rules when it comes to being with members of the opposite sex, and we cannot be seen with alcohol. My sorority is incredibly multicultural with several foreign students, one girl in a wheelchair, one with severe medical conditions and young women from all races and walks of life. We consider hazing to be domestic violence, and our philanthropy is domestic violence awareness. We raise thousands of dollars for abuse victims every semester. We pay for our badge, our shirts, our events, our formal dances, our recruitment expenses, our insurance and our dues, which are used for scholarships for deserving young women. Greek life is not what the movies or media make it out to be. It teaches us valuable life lessons. We meet people we can rely on and forge bonds that last a lifetime. My sisters and I are strong women. — Alpha Chi Omega in Texas Dear Texas: We agree that sororities get a bad rap. Movies and TV shows often portray even savvy sorority girls as angling solely for the right guy or the right clothes. This may make for good drama, but it simply isn’t truthful. Sororities have always provided lifetime friendships, and these days, most sorority members do volunteer and charity work, as well. They are filled with strong, smart women. Dear Annie: I live in an area of the Midwest that has frequent tornado warnings. I have a weather radio, and I take the warnings ser-

iously – especially when they announce a tornado warning for my county. I have friends, however, who think that because the local tornado siren has not gone

off that there is nothing to worry about. They say I am overreacting. It is my understanding that a tornado can touch down without warning and also that the tornadoes

are harder to spot at night. Your thoughts? — Rather Be Safe Than Sorry Dear Rather: We’re with

you. Tornadoes can develop so quickly that sometimes there isn’t much warning. By the time a siren sounds, it might be too late to get to a safe place.

The cast of “Chicago Med”

Take three Story on page 18 The doctors and nurses of Chicago’s newest trauma centre tackle the city’s most challenging cases and ethical dilemmas in the premiere of “Chicago Med,” airing Monday, Nov. 16, on Global, and Tuesday, Nov. 17, on NBC. The drama from Dick Wolf and Matt Olmstead — the same creative team that brought “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” to the small screen — features an ensemble cast that includes Oliver Platt (“The C Word”) and S. Epatha Merkerson (“Law & Order”). The Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation needs your help to purchase Fluid Warmers for the two new Operating Rooms at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. A Fluid Warmer plays a significant role in maintaining normothermia when delivering blood and fluid safely to a patient, reducing the risk of decreasing or increasing a patient’s core body temperature.

NBC adds â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chicago Medâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the Windy City series family By Kyla Brewer TV Media

he TV spinoff isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a new concept â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hourâ&#x20AC;? spun off of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love Lucyâ&#x20AC;? way back in 1957. When producers find a formula that works, they tend to capitalize on it, and who can blame them? CBS has been wildly successful with several CSI and NCIS series in recent years. The peacock network has also had its fair share of spinoff hits thanks to the Law & Order franchise, but the network is breaking the mould with the new medical drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Med,â&#x20AC;? which is slated to premiere Monday, Nov. 16, on Global, and Tuesday, Nov. 17, on NBC. Set in a Chicago hospital, the show is a spinoff of the hit drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Fire,â&#x20AC;? which also spawned â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago P.D.â&#x20AC;? in 2014. As in the other Chicago series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Medâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? ensemble cast will tell the kinds of stories that plague todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, this time from the perspective of the health-care workers. Platt has nothing but praise for prolific television producer Dick Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;?) rippedfrom-the-headlines style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment, but I think Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had a social conscience, Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in talking about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in our daily life,â&#x20AC;? said the actor. With Wolf at the helm as executive producer, alongside co-creator Matt Olmstead, it should come as no surprise that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Medâ&#x20AC;? is poised to break new ground. The show has an impressive pedigree: not only is it on the network that brought viewers the iconic medical drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;ER,â&#x20AC;? its Windy City predecessors also consistently pull in millions of viewers. This will â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with any luck â&#x20AC;&#x201D; give â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Medâ&#x20AC;? a head start in the ratings department as fans of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fireâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;P.D.â&#x20AC;? will likely want to check out the new members of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicagoâ&#x20AC;? drama family. Nick Gehlfuss (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shamelessâ&#x20AC;?) serves as a link between â&#x20AC;&#x153;P.D.â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medâ&#x20AC;? as Dr. Will Halstead, a trauma surgeon and brother of Det. Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mob Doctorâ&#x20AC;?). Dr. Halstead has recently

returned to the Windy City after practising medicine for 10 years in New York. He joins new trauma fellow Dr. Connor Rhodes (Colin Donnell, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arrowâ&#x20AC;?). The hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant chief of psychiatry, Dr. Daniel Charles (Platt), may possess remarkable insight into his patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds but lacks the same kind of perspective when it comes to his own personal life. Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic World,â&#x20AC;? 2015) is a navy flight surgeon who knows a lot about infectious diseases. Former â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;? star S. Epatha Merkerson oversees the staff as Sharon Goodwin, the head of Chicago Med. She is but one of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fierce female characters. Despite being in the third trimester of her pregnancy, Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vampire Diariesâ&#x20AC;?) remains committed to her patients. Dr. Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jane the Virginâ&#x20AC;?) is an overachieving fourth-year medical student who may find herself in over her head. Yaya DaCosta (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whitney,â&#x20AC;? 2015) rounds out the cast as savvy ER nurse April Sexton, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifebloodâ&#x20AC;? of the emergency room. Viewers were introduced to some of these characters in the season 3 episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago Fireâ&#x20AC;? entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am the Apocalypse,â&#x20AC;? in which the members of Firehouse 51 raced to the scene of a gas leak and transported the victims to Chicago Med. There, one of the patients claimed to be the carrier of a deadly airborne disease, and the ensuing four-episode storyline introduced Dr. Halstead, Goodwin and Sexton.
