Local researchers have located structures from a long-forgotten coal-mining community from the late 1800s on Newcastle Island. The Nanaimo Historical Society and the Newcastle Island Society collaborated to have a local team survey the site in Midden Bay, in the island’s north end facing Departure Bay beach, with GPS and remote sensing technology. Bill Merilees, a member of the Newcastle Island Society, said they uncovered the foundations for approximately 25 structures at the site and determined there were up to 100 people living there during Nanaimo’s earliest days, when the population on the island was probably not much less than the number of residents in Colville, the name Nanaimo was originally called. He said the community was one of the first European settlements in the area, and was part of the “very beginnings” of the City of Nanaimo. “That community was simply forgotten about over the years,” he said. “Now that we know of its existence, it will help give us a much better picture of the early days in Nanaimo. The research will be presented on Saturday at Bowen Park’s lawn bowling facility at 1 p.m.” Merilees said the research into the site began with a photo that is currently stored in the provincial archives that shows a wharf and buildings in Midden Bay at that time.

The foundations of a long-forgotten coal-mining community from the late 1800s have been discovered in Midden Bay on Newcastle Island. The search for the village began after this picture was discovered in the provincial archives in Victoria. [COURTESY BILL MERILEES]

He said the village shut down in the 1870s after the Hudson Bay Company sold its coal-mining interests in the area to the Vancouver Coal Company. Merilees said that company decided to mine for coal under the Newcastle Island channel from the Nanaimo side and the village was closed and disappeared over the next 140 years. He said that all that’s left now are some depressions where the structures used to be. “There is some damage to the site where the

City of Nanaimo placed a sewer line across the island in the recent past,” Merilees said. “The details of exactly what the research has uncovered will be presented at the meeting on Saturday. It’s certainly very interesting and it’s a peek into our forgotten past.” Merilees said there are no plans at this time to excavate the site. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

How many people does it take to light up a town? Ladysmith Festival of Lights ignites the spirit of the holiday season SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

ow many Ladysmith residents does it take to put in 200,000 lightbulbs? Answer: A small army of volunteers. Not a good punchline, perhaps. But then the annual Ladysmith Festival of Lights is the result of thousands of volunSpencer teer hours each year. Anderson The visual, Reporting holiday-season extravaganza takes place tonight in the small town. It has been an annual fixture since 1990, when Bill Fitzpatrick and a handful of town merchants founded the festival society.

Since then, a dedicated core of about 30 volunteers has made the event happen each year, transforming the small town into a glittering landscape of lights. They are joined by usually more than 100 people on for a giant set-up session in early November. “It’s an all-year process,” said Bill Drysdale, who has co-ordinated and led the volunteer effort for the past eight years. The former air force technician took one look at the festival decided to get involved. “I saw, and figured that looks like a lot of fun, and it is,” he said. “In the off-season we’re refurbishing decorations and people that suggest ideas, we look at those and investigate and then we’ll work away on those if it’s something that we can put together.” Work crews will typically begin installing the lights on town rooftops in late September for the festival, which can draw upwards of 20,000 spectators each year.

While many have been involved for years, the festival continues to draw on newcomers for help. John Vroom has been helping put together the festival for three years and has lived in the community for 12. He got involved as soon as he finished working in the building supplies industry. “It’s been very rewarding. I’m retired and just love working with these guys. It’s a physical thing and I enjoy that. “We’re at it for about two months, so it’s quite rewarding when Santa flips the switch.” Frank Magre moved to Ladysmith two years ago and immediately put his carpentry skills to work for the festival. He recalls a recent highlight of standing on a rooftop as the lights were switched on and seeing the reaction of the children. “It’s neat to see that,” Magre said. The community effort to put on the event may have something to do with its success, said Drysdale.

“I think that’s why citizens enjoy it too, because they take ownership of it,” he said. “They put a lot of hard work, sometimes in inclement weather, and again, they bring their grandkids and their kids and they see the reward when the kids are ‘oohing and aahing’ at all the lights when Santa throws that switch.” The festive displays may have a slightly different look this year, as organizers have decided to gradually phase out their luminescent arsenal of traditional incandescent bulbs in favour of more efficient LED lights. “We’ve been working on switching over to LEDs for several years now, this year particularly is a big push,” said Drysdale. “I’d say we’re well over 50 per cent and a lot of the trees are

switched and a lot of our decorations are switched.” Drysdale said the colours are slightly different and LEDs lack the warmer glow of incandescents, which can also be seen from further away, “So we have to double up our bulb count or more to give the same impact.” All the more reason to venture to Ladysmith tonight. But those who do attend are advised to get there early. Shuttle bus services are available at the Catholic and Pentecostal churches on 4th Avenue in town.

A number of school closures are still on the table in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district. After a 60-day public consultation process to gather input into its updated facilities plan, staff are recommending the closure of North Cedar Intermediate and Woodlands Secondary Schools in June 2016, and the closure of Rutherford Elementary School in June 2017. Staff are also recommending Mount Benson Elementary School, which the district closed in 2008, be reopened to become the new home of the district’s Learn@Home program. The full report can be viewed at www.sd68.bc.ca. The school board will be holding a number of public meetings next week to discuss the staff’s recommendations, and final decisions are expected to be made at the time. The three meetings, scheduled for Dec. 1-3, all begin at 6 p.m., with the first two meetings set for the Shaw Auditorium and the last one at the board office.

Tina Bray, co-chairwoman of the Rutherford Open and Thriving group, said members of the organization intend to be at the public meetings next week. She said it’s not the first time the school’s parents have had to fight to keep it open, and she hopes their efforts will pay off again this time. Rutherford school was also on the chopping block in 2008 before a spirited fight by its parents convinced the school board to keep it open. “But school boards in this district don’t have a history of changing staff’s recommendations,” Bray said. “We had hoped the district would have at least answered the questions we raised during the public consultation process.” Superintendent John Blain said decisions made about school closures are among the most difficult decisions a school board has to make. But he said the district can’t continue to maintain partially empty buildings, and must recognize its demographic and budgetary realities.

“Eliminating excess space reduces operating costs and allows the district to reallocate resources to strengthen the focus on teaching and learning,” Blain said of the recommended closures . “Failure to consolidate schools will have a significant negative impact on student learning across the district in the foreseeable future.” Board chairman Steve Rae said trustees have a lot of information to consider before next week’s meeting. He said a number of concerns were raised during the public consultation period. “We’ve heard what people had to say, and now we need to dig in, have staff answer some of our questions and move forward with the decisions that have to be made,” Rae said. “The underfunding of education (by the province) have put us in this position.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Marijuana dispensaries hope Divers seek body after regulation can avoid closures fishing trip turns bad DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Local cannabis dispensary operators feel they’ve made headway in the push for regulation similar to that seen in Vancouver and Victoria. Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries president Jamie Shaw appeared at before Nanaimo city council’s committee of the whole meeting this week with a pitch for municipal control of medical pot dispensaries. Council heard her out, and while no motions were passed on the subject, dispensary operators were pleased by the discussion Shaw’s appearance generated. “I think any dialogue is a step in the right direction,” said Matt Henstock, community advocate with Phoenix Pain Management. “Council did request more information from Jamie.” Her presentation was on how Nanaimo would benefit from municipal regulation of dispensaries,

using case studies from larger cities, including Los Angeles and Vancouver. Nanaimo RCMP recently served Nanaimo’s 10 pot dispensaries with cease-and-desist letters, giving them seven days to close or risk seizures, arrests and possible criminal code charges. No dispensaries were raided on Thursday’s deadline day, and all remain open, “as far as I know,” Henstock said. He said while operators take the RCMP threat “very seriously,” they feel a cooling-off period by RCMP is warranted, given the pending legalization of the drug. RCMP backed off on threats to close a Port Alberni dispensary recently, when city council there introduced bylaws to set the rules for such businesses. Meanwhile, Terry Roycroft president of Medical Cannabis Resource Centre is eyeing Nanaimo as the next site for a legal cannabis medical clinic as an alternative to the dispensary model.

For a $300 annual membership fee, patients with such conditions as chronic pain or inflammation, insomnia and stress can have doctors prescribe them medical cannabis from licensed producers like Tilray, at clinics now operating in Vancouver and Kamloops. “We want to come to Nanaimo,” Roycroft said. “We’ll be opening clinics in Nanaimo and Victoria in early 2016.” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235 » We want to hear from you.

Canadians will play a big role in Syrian refugee plans

s mad scrambles go, the Syrian refugee rescue plan that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has just rolled out is a little less crazy than advertised, and a lot more scripted. And that’s just fine. Canadian immigration experts were skeptical from the get-go about Trudeau’s bid to one-up his political rivals in the heat of the election campaign by vowing to grant 25,000 Syrians asylum by year’s end. And the public made it clear they expected the government to deliver on the substance of the promise, but to take the time to get it right rather than rush. That Trudeau has taken that message on board reflects well on his willingness to heed sound advice and be flexible. Canadians learned on Tuesday that Ottawa now intends to bring in a

first wave of 10,000 by year’s end, not 25,000. The remaining 15,000 will follow in the first two months of next year. Another 10,000 or more are expected to arrive later next year. If all goes as planned, we can expect to take in 35,000 or more government- and privately sponsored refugees in the coming year. Trudeau and his new government will reap the credit for an act of empathy that will rebrand Canada as a compassionate nation on the world scene, prepared to marshal its military and other resources to help ease the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis. And there’s every reason to expect it will go well. Urged on by Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne and the other premiers, people across the country are opening their communities and homes to families who have fled Bashar Assad’s bombs and the Islamic State’s

opportunity to fully vet single men such as Abdullah Kurdi, who lost his entire family including drowned toddler Alan Kurdi. They, too, deserve consideration for asylum here. Refugees will be emotionally vulnerable, disoriented and stressed on their arrival. Many have been through hell and have languished in exile. Bringing people here in smaller waves will allow the greeters — ranging from the military to provincial authorities, community organizations and private individuals — to learn from experience and ease the way for later refugees. Host provinces and cities will have more time to lay out the welcome mat, and to rotate groups of refugees from temporary accommodation into permanent quarters, to make room for the next wave. Despite the delay in fulfilling its pledge, the Trudeau government

deserves credit for showing a degree of compassion that was utterly foreign to its Conservative predecessor. It also deserves the benefit of the doubt as the first wave of refugees begins to arrive. No resettlement program of this scope can be problem-free. There are bound to be mixups, snafus, tensions and unhappy clients. What’s important is getting things mostly right. And in that, the Canadian people will play the bigger, more enduring role. The government can provide screening, airlift, funding and shortterm shelter. It’s up to the rest of us to provide the open arms, and a new home. — THE CANADIAN PRESS (TORONTO STAR)

Tax hike no way to help the hungry in Canada

brutality. Military barracks are being spruced up, the Red Cross is mobilized, service hubs are being readied, private housing is on offer and services ranging from health care to emotional support, schooling, language classes and jobs are being arranged. This is nothing short of a national gesture of welcome. A more staged approach, as the Star and others have advocated, makes sense on multiple grounds: The refugees can all be fully screened for identity, medical issues and security concerns before they land here. “We have a robust, multi-layered approach” that “will be fully completed overseas,” said Immigration Minister John McCallum. That should ease fears that jihadists might try to exploit the airlift. While Ottawa will give early priority to complete families and those at risk, this longer timetable offers an

ike many words in our language, ‘progressive’ has a number of definitions. Oxford has at least five, including a reference to rock music in the 1970s. We have heard the word frequently in recent years, used in different ways by different people with different agendas. Politically, it has been used to suggest change, innovation and/or social reform. New Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been called progressive. Those left of centre on the political spectrum seem to love the word, hugging it like it gives them a sense of moral superiority. Are higher taxes and more government progressive ideas? Really? It looks from here like the easy way out, not a forward-thinking solution to any of society’s challenges. Parksville Qualicum Beach News reporter Candace Wu’s story on food banks and food insecurity was published in the Daily News on Tuesday on Page 8. The chief source speaks about raising taxes so governments can do better to ensure more

people are getting enough nutritious food. We agree with former UBC professor and Qualicum Beach resident Graham Riches that it’s shameful a rich country like Canada sees about 850,000 people a month make use of food banks, 30 per cent of those being children. If we believed the money from a tax hike would go directly to feeding the hungry, we would almost favour the idea. Cynical as this may be, we don’t trust government to do that job, to use all of that money for food.

Governments are nation builders. A new, tax-fed Ministry of Food (for lack of a better term) would have a minister, a deputy minister, two or three assistant deputy ministers and dozens upon dozens of workers making government union wages. That’s millions of dollars each year from the budget of the Ministry of Food that does not go to food. We believe it would be better to shift priorities, hack at existing government ministries, create a department dedicated to feeding people in B.C.

We agree with Riches and others that this, ensuring people have nutritious food daily, should be a priority. We do not agree that government — or more accurately, more government — is the answer. The current B.C. government has 19 ministries. It’s difficult to argue any of them (perhaps Health and Education) are focused on, and spending money on, issues that are more important than food.

Students learn feminism still has the power to create controversy

Whale freed from tackle

KENDRA WONG VICTORIA NEWS

When Vic High teacher Georgina Hope told students to post photos of themselves answering the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need feminism because,â&#x20AC;? she never thought it would spark a school-wide controversy. The campaign was part of the gender and family studies class, consisting of more than 50 grade 11 and 12 students. The class focuses on self and society, feminism, construction of masculinity in the media, gender spectrum, human sexuality, eventually culminating in a gender fair. Hope, who has been teaching at the high school for the past three years, started the class last year and has now expanded it to two blocks to accommodate high student enrolment. The class is mostly-discussion based and features topics that students bring forward such as the Highway of Tears, transgender issues and how masculinity has affected their lives. This semester, students were tasked with taking a photo of themselves sharing why they believe feminism is needed and posting the photos around the school.

Some of the answers included, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need feminism because slut shaming has yet to become a thing of the past, rape isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a joke, Hooters is still a restaurant, people still call it sexism.â&#x20AC;? But shortly after, there was immense backlash to the campaign both in the school and on social media. A group of students ripped down the posters, tore them up in the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; face and replaced them with several anti-feminism posters with â&#x20AC;&#x153;hateful language,â&#x20AC;? one of which included a photo of a decapitated woman. Students posted anti-feminism statuses and comments on Facebook as well. The reaction took Hope and her class by surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The members of the class were very courageous. They allowed themselves to show vulnerability in those posters. Their faces were there and they were talking about their very personal reason of why they needed feminism,â&#x20AC;? Hope said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first my reaction was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;okay, that stirred up some trouble, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real and very authentic learningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Then it escalated to a point where I became very concerned.â&#x20AC;?

Some students even felt threatened walking into their school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shocked us into reality. Before we were just assuming most people at the school would have the same view point because we are such an alternative school,â&#x20AC;? said student Sera Davis-Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never thought it would have this sort of ripple effect.â&#x20AC;? Echo Stephens, also a student, added none of the posters were offensive or mean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never attacked anyone and then we got attacked,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding teachers, educational assistants and students were all talking about it for weeks after. Despite the negative response, the class agreed it was a reaction from a lack of understanding and education about the feminist movement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something they hope to change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The controversy sparked a conversation for people who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the direct confrontation,â&#x20AC;? said student Lily Macgregor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of other people got incredibly invested in it no matter what their opinion was, if they thought it was blown out of proportion or if this was a symptom of a larger problem. It started conversations.â&#x20AC;?

The killer whale that seen south of Nanaimo tangled in fishing gear earlier this month is doing fine. A search was launched by the Depart-

ment of Fisheries and Oceans and local whale watchers at the time to try and help the whale, but was unsuccessful. On Monday, Jim Maya of Mayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy Whale Watching, reported that the orca was free, seemingly unaffected. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BLACK PRESS

Suspicious man asks girl to get into van KATHERINE ENGQVIST GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE

West Shore RCMP’s major crime unit is investigating a case of a possible attempted child abduction in Langford. Police say the 10-yearold girl, an elementary school student, was walking on Rainville Road at approximately 2:50 p.m. on Nov. 18 when she was approached by a white panel van driven by a man, who asked her to get in the van. The suspect reportedly opened his door while talking. The girl ran away and told her family what happened and the police were subsequently notified. “We are looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed this van or suspect in that area,” detachment spokesperson Const. Alex Berube said in a release. “While no other cases were reported, we encourage the public to report any suspicious activity to police right away.” The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 30 years of age with black greasy hair and a goatee. He wore a navy blue shirt, grey jeans and grey/ black skate shoes with white soles. The vehicle is described as an older white panel van with no side or rear windows that was dirty with scratches on the side and garbage in the passenger side wheel well.

DUNCAN

Police officer saluted for Cyclist reports two men tried diving in to save kayaker to drag her into dark van MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Once a year, the province of B.C. heralds and thanks the police officers whose work enhance the safety of our communities at their annual Police Honours Night. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was the 35th such celebration, at which Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton presented 66 awards to officers from all over the province, one of which was Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own, Const. Kyle Ushok. Ushok received an Award of Meritorious Service for â&#x20AC;&#x153;placing himself at personal risk to rescue a distressed kayaker who had capsized in Discovery Passage.â&#x20AC;? Ushok, who was also Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rider in the 2014 Tour de Rock, leapt into the water and swam out into the passage on the night of July 17 after a distress call was received by the Joint

Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria. He then assisted a witness who had seen what was happening and quickly gone home to retrieve an inflatable boat to row out and help the 40-year-old Campbell River man. The man was treated in hospital for hypothermia, and police say he had been drinking alcohol before heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d flipped his vessel. He had spent approximately 45 minutes in the water before being rescued. Subsequent investigation revealed the man was alone on the water in an open style hard plastic recreational kayak that was unsuitable for ocean use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear enough about the wonderful things (police officers) do,â&#x20AC;? Lieutenant Governor Guichon said at the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, we hear about any mistakes, but every day, they are doing a wonderful job out there keeping civil society safe.â&#x20AC;?

SARAH SIMPSON COWICHAN VALLEY CITIZEN

A Duncan woman was left shaken but physically unharmed after an attempted abduction in a residential area. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP alerted the public to the incident on the afternoon of Nov. 20, despite the attempted abduction occurring back on Sept. 12, between 7 and 9 p.m. The late public notice comes, in part, because the 57-year-old woman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t report it to the police right away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is always advisable to report incidents like this one to police as soon as possible, to assist in the identification and location of possible suspects and evidence,â&#x20AC;? detachment spokesperson Cpl. Krista Hobday said. The victim has since sought out the assistance of the Cowichan Valley Victim Services unit to work through the ordeal. Police said she was riding her bicycle when a

square, dark-coloured van, either blue or black, with B.C. plates pulled up alongside her. The door opened and the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s male passenger tried to pull her inside. He was unsuccessful and the older-model van, which had no windows or decals, but sported a chrome bumper, drove away. The woman continued on to her home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once she felt that she could talk to police, she did report that the van was being driven by a Caucasian man,â&#x20AC;? said Hobday. Other details about the driver are sparse but the woman said the passenger that tried to pull her into the van was also white. He is described as having a plain black baseball hat, jeans and a plain dark sweater or hoodie. His hair was very short and not visible under the hat. Neither man spoke to her. Police are asking for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help in identifying the suspects. Those with information can call Crime Stoppers anonymously, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

RCMP boss wants warrantless access to online subscriber data RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson says the police force needs warrantless access to Internet subscriber information to keep pace with online criminals. In June last year, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled police must have a judge’s authorization to obtain customer data linked to online activities. The high court rejected the notion the federal privacy law governing companies allowed them to hand over subscriber identities voluntarily. Police say telecommunications companies and other service providers now demand court approval for nearly all types of requests from authorities for basic identifying information.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meets Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. [AP PHOTO]

Canada about diversity, says PM in Europe BRUCE CHEADLE THE CANADIAN PRESS

LONDON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attempted to make a virtue of the hottest domestic issue on his plate Wednesday, using the international stage to pitch the Liberal government’s Syrian refugee settlement plan as a shining global example. “We have a responsibility — to ourselves and to the world — to show that inclusive diversity is a strength and a force that can vanquish intolerance, radicalism and hate,” Trudeau said in a speech to a well-heeled crowd at Canada House in central London. Trudeau’s politically charged appeal plumbed many of the themes of the October election that vaulted his Liberals to power and it came a day after his government revealed a revised timeline for accepting some 25,000 refugees fleeing civil war and Islamic terrorism in Syria. Rather than rush in all 25,000 by year end — as the Liberals promised during the election — the new plan calls for refugees to be identified and brought to Canada over the next three months. Speaking to reporters after his speech, Trudeau said the terrorist attacks in Paris two weeks ago raised public fears but he insisted security was “always at the heart” of the government’s thoughts as it put together the settlement program. Not only is security a primary government responsibility, said Trudeau. “We were aware that people were going to raise security as a reason not to welcome refugees at all. Getting this done right has always been what we are focused on.” The message provided a sobering counterpoint to his morning audience with the Queen, where Trudeau presented his two youngest children Ella-Grace and Hadrien just as his own prime minister father, Pierre, had once introduced a young Justin to the monarch. The Queen greeted Trudeau saying it was nice to see him again, “but under different circumstances.” “I will say, you were much taller than me the last time we met,” Trudeau replied, prompting a laugh from the 89-year-old monarch. “Well, this is extraordinary to think of, isn’t it?” she said. Trudeau also attempted to smooth the waters between Russia and Turkey, stating it’s still not “entirely clear” what transpired in the airspace over the Turkish and Syrian borders. “I certainly don’t think that it’s helpful to start off by me choosing to point fingers to one side or another,” Trudeau said before heading to 10 Downing Street for an hour-long meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron.

Duffy defence plays up consultant’s credentials Question is whether roles were legitimate Senate business JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS

BRAND NEW SUITES FOR RENT IN NANAIMO

OTTAWA — A sounding board, an adviser, a talent booker, an Internet researcher and web content consultant — Gerald Donohue was at different points all of these things to Sen. Mike Duffy. The question before Ontario Court Justice Charles Vaillancourt is whether Donohue’s roles constituted legitimate Senate business, or rather fraud and a breach of the public’s trust. Eight of the 31 Duffy faces relate to $65,000 in Senate contracts awarded to Donohue. Duffy has pleaded not guilty. Of that $65,000 amount, Donohue paid out roughly $40,000 to a number of other service providers at Duffy’s direction, including speechwriters and a makeup artist. Bayne’s cross-examination revolved around Donohue’s resume going back 40 years. The defence is trying to make the case that Donohue had legitimate

DUFFY

credentials as a consultant, and that he did actual Senate-related work for Duffy. The Crown has suggested Donohue was unqualified to act as a consultant to Duffy, and did not deliver a substantive product for the money he was paid. Donohue worked as an international and regional representative for the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET) union, and later became human resources director for the local CTV station in Ottawa.

Bayne took the court through an official letter Donohue penned to then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau in 1977 on broadcasting issues, and also the honorarium he was paid to act as a labour consultant for CTV during the Calgary Olympics. “Did the police (investigators) ever pursue with you details of your extensive experience at the federal level negotiating for NABET?” asked Bayne. “No,” Donohue said via video. “Or your decade of management experience with CJOH and all the various administration and other responsibilities . . . did they pursue any of that?” “No.” Bayne zeroed in on the service contracts that Donohue signed with the Senate, which included the catch-all line that he might do any kind of duty for Duffy “that may arise from time to time.” The vagueness of Senate rules has come up repeatedly during the seven-month long trial.

SYRIA RESPONSE

Premiers want refugee funding details THE CANADIAN PRESS

Premiers across the country reiterated Wednesday that their governments are prepared to accept thousands of Syrian refugees, but some are raising questions about funding, particularly for housing. British Columbia Premier Christy Clark noted that Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing prices are the highest in the country and funding details still need to be worked out with the federal government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to make sure that they have the funding in place to

ensure that every refugee who settles has the strongest-possible chance of success in our province,â&#x20AC;? Clark said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that means not just settling in Vancouver, the most expensive housing market in the country, but to settle all across the province.â&#x20AC;? Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger said he has raised concerns about rent with federal Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some circumstances, the rents are going to be prohibitive so they took that under advisement,â&#x20AC;? Selinger said in Brandon, Man. The federal government plans to bring in

25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of February, but a lot of specifics on how that will be accomplished havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been spelled out. Health and security screening is to take place overseas before refugees are flown to Toronto and Montreal, largely on chartered aircraft, beginning in December. From there, they will fan out either to one of 36 cities that have settlement-services contracts with the federal government or to where their private sponsors are located. Temporary accommodation, if required, is to be provided by the military.

Protesters aim to shut Chicago shopping Friday DON BABWIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Small groups of demonstrators gathered again Wednesday to protest the death of a black teen shot by a white police officer, and they urged supporters to join them in trying to shut down Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Michigan Avenue shopping district during Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday shopping bonanza. About two dozen protesters gathered outside Mayor Rahm Emanuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Hall office on the day after authorities released a graphic squad-car video showing the officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder. The group held banners showing photos of other black people fatally shot by police in Chicago and elsewhere. Several protesters said they were parents of black men who were killed by Chicago officers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot kill our children and expect us to be quiet any longer,â&#x20AC;? protester Quovadis Green said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is unacceptable.â&#x20AC;? Activist Mark Carter called on people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;rise upâ&#x20AC;? and shut down the Magnificent Mile shopping area on Black Friday. He said protesters also planned to target the Board of Trade and other landmarks in the coming days. Carter and others want the Department of Justice to investigate the Chicago Police Department and its history of covering up bad behaviour. The Urban League of Chicago joined in the call for a federal investigation, alleging a pattern of â&#x20AC;&#x153;discriminatory harassmentâ&#x20AC;? against black people. The Rev. Jesse Jackson said other officers involved in McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death should be fired or at least suspended. He also wants a special prosecutor appointed to the case, complaining that Cook County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Anita Alvarez took too long to bring a murder charge in the shooting, which happened 13 months ago. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton also weighed in, saying McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and Chicago residents â&#x20AC;&#x153;deserve justice and accountability.â&#x20AC;? Clinton, who made the comments Wednesday in an emailed statement, added that police officers across the country are doing their duty honourably â&#x20AC;&#x153;without resorting to unnecessary force.â&#x20AC;? For months, city officials and community leaders had feared that the release of the dash-cam video could provoke the kind of turmoil that occurred in cities such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, after young black men were slain by police or died in police custody.

Russia to deploy missiles to Syria Move could raise threat of conflict with NATO VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — In a move raising the potential threat of a Russia-NATO conflict, Russia said Wednesday it will deploy long-range air defence missiles to its base in Syria and destroy any target that may threaten its warplanes following the downing of a Russian military jet by Turkey. The incident was the first time in half a century that a NATO member shot down a Russian plane. If Russia responds by downing a Turkish plane, NATO member Turkey could proclaim itself under attack and ask the alliance for military assistance. Most observers believe that a direct military confrontation is unlikely, but that the shooting down of the plane will further fuel the Syrian conflict and complicate international peace efforts. The situation is also alarming because the Russian and Turkish presidents both pose as strong leaders and would be reluctant to back down and seek a compromise. The S-400 missiles, which Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered sent to the Hemeimeem air base in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, just 50 kilometres (30 miles) away from the border with Turkey, are capable of striking

targets within a 400-kilometre range with deadly precision. The military also moved the navy missile cruiser Moskva closer to the shore to help protect Russian warplanes with its long-range Fort air defence system. “It will be ready to destroy any aerial target posing a potential danger to our aircraft,” Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting with military officials. He also announced the severance of all military ties with Turkey and said that from now on, Russian bombers will always be escorted by fighters on combat missions over Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has often been compared to Putin for his authoritarian ways, said Wednesday that his country doesn’t wish to escalate tensions with Russia. Speaking at an Organization of Islamic Cooperation economy meeting in Istanbul, Erdogan said Turkey favours “peace, dialogue and diplomacy.” He defended his country’s move to shoot down the plane saying: “No one should expect Turkey to stay silent to border violations or the violation of its rights.” Iran meanwhile lashed out at Turkey, with the official IRNA news agency quoting President Hassan Rouhani as saying Ankara is responsible for the heightened tensions in the region.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Scud studâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; says column hurt campaign BILL GRAVELAND THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former television journalist known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scud Studâ&#x20AC;? says his run for public office was torpedoed by an article critical of his campaign. Arthur Kent, who got his nickname from his days reporting on the Gulf War for NBC, said fundraising dried up and volunteers quit after the column labelling him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dudâ&#x20AC;? hit newsstands and the Internet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like a bomb going off because it was so distracting,â&#x20AC;? Kent told court Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys had just fired a photon torpedo into us.â&#x20AC;?

Kent, 61, took the witness stand at a defamation trial that pits him against media giant Postmedia and former columnist Don Martin, author of the 2008 article. Kent was running to win a Calgary seat in the Alberta legislature for the Progressive Conservatives at the time. Headlined â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Scud Studâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the Campaign Trail,â&#x20AC;? the piece portrayed Kent as an out-of-control star candidate facing a revolt from his election team. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include comment from Kent and he went on to lose the vote. Kent, who testified that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scud Studâ&#x20AC;? has

become his brand and part of his identity, described his reaction the morning he saw the Martin article. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was surreal. It was nothing I could remember in Canadian politics,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so poisonous, false and motivated with an intention to harm, from a guy I had never met. It was another worldly experience.â&#x20AC;? He said he immediately contacted the editorial page editor at the Calgary Herald, which is part of the Postmedia chain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;How could you publish this trash?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he recalled asking.

France extends strikes against Islamic State ELENA BECATOROS AND THOMAS ADAMSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; French lawmakers voted Wednesday to continue airstrikes in Syria against the Islamic State group that claimed responsibility for the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people in Paris, while Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chancellor said her country would do more in the international fight against the group. Parliamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper house, the Senate, voted 325-0 with 21 abstentions to prolong Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airstrikes in Syria beyond early January. The lower house had earlier voted 515-4 in favour. French fighter jets joined the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State extremists in Iraq in 2014, and expanded their mission to IS targets in Syria in September. President Francois Hollande cited specific threats against French interests stemming from IS in Syria. The vote came as Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed how to combat the group that has spread its violence beyond Syria to Europe and North Africa. Merkel indicated her country would do more in the international fight against IS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that this attack wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just intended for the people of Paris, but for our whole way of life,â&#x20AC;? she said after laying a single white rose at the Place de la Republique, the Paris square that has become the focal point of tributes for the victims. Germany, Merkel said, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just saddened by the attacks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it also feels challenged to do everything to prevent such events from happening again.â&#x20AC;? Hollande said it would â&#x20AC;&#x153;be a very good signal in the fight against terrorismâ&#x20AC;? if Germany could do more against IS in Syria and Iraq. Germany currently provides weapons and training for Kurds fighting against IS in Iraq. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the French president asks me to think about what more we can do, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our task to think about that and we will act quickly,â&#x20AC;? Merkel said, adding that the Islamic State â&#x20AC;&#x153;canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be convinced with words, it must be fought with military means.â&#x20AC;? On the investigative front, France and Belgium continued a manhunt for two fugitive suspects believed to be directly linked to the Paris attacks. In the Belgian capital, schools reopened despite the city remaining on the highest possible alert level. Authorities raised it on Saturday saying the threat of a further attack was serious and imminent.

Ruth Dillabaugh Ruth Dillabaugh of Nanaimo, formerly Regina, passed away peacefully after a short illness at NRGH. Predeceased by parents, Morley and Ethyl Wright, husband Ed, son Roy, siblings Francis, Isabelle and Donald, she is survived by sons Lome (Madeline) and Neil (Betty). Lovingly remembered by grandchildren Kevin (Melissa) Dillabaugh, Anita (Keith) Azak, Catherine (Michael) Allaway, Michael Dillabaugh, Leah (Glenn) Johnson and Alana (Scott) Lavery. Her great grandchildren - Elijah, Jade, Grace, Meghan, Avery, Ava, Gus, Luke and Roman held a special place in her heart. Her early years were spent in Regina, Moose Jaw, Lumsden and Saskatoon. After graduation from Nutana High School, she took business training and worked for a number of small companies in Saskatoon and Regina. She married in 1942. After the war Ed and Ruth made their home in Moose Jaw and Regina where they raised Lome and the twins. She worked for the Regina Board of Education in adult education, payroll and personnel. At the same time she contributed to the community through her involvement in home and school and mental health associations. Upon retirement, in 1977, Ed and Ruth moved to Nanaimo. Family gatherings, reading, swimming, social activities with her swimming friends and gardening were among her favourite activities. Since 2007 she resided at Nanaimo Seniors Village. The family thank the staff for their kind and caring support. She loved everything about living her final years in this home. By Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will be no memorial service. At a later date, the family will gather to share remembrances of a long life, well lived.

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For the first time since he shot down a teen on an empty streetcar two years ago, a Toronto police officer charged in the youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death provided a public explanation for his actions, saying he never intended to kill anyone. Testifying in his own defence Wednesday, Const. James Forcillo said he feared an attack from the knifetoting Sammy Yatim, which was why â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in accordance with all his police training â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he fired his gun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never wanted to kill anybody,â&#x20AC;? Forcillo told the court. Forcillo has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and attempted murder in the death of 18-yearold Yatim, who was hit by eight out of nine bullets the officer fired one night in July 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first sets of shots were fired because I believed Mr. Yatim was armed with a knife and was in the process of coming off the streetcar at me,â&#x20AC;? Forcillo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second shots were fired because I believed Mr. Yatim was in the process of getting off the streetcar to continue his attack.â&#x20AC;? Crown prosecutors have said they plan to prove that Forcilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions during the incident werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary or reasonable. Forcilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer has said his clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions were justified and carried out in self-defence. The jury has heard that Yatim had taken the drug ecstasy at some point before boarding the streetcar on which he eventually pulled out a small knife, causing panicked passengers to rush off. Surveillance videos have shown Forcillo arriving at the scene, pointing his gun at the teen and yelling repeatedly at Yatim to â&#x20AC;&#x153;drop the knife.â&#x20AC;? After a standoff that lasts about 50 seconds, Forcillo fires and Yatim is seen crumpling to the floor. While on the witness stand, Forcillo explained that he had been trained to treat a person with a knife or any other â&#x20AC;&#x153;edged weaponâ&#x20AC;? as a serious threat.

â&#x2014;&#x2020; NEW YORK

Amazon ads featuring Nazi imagery pulled from New York City subway An ad campaign that featured Nazi imagery has been pulled from the New York City subway system. Seats on the 42nd Street shuttle between Times Square and Grand Central Terminal were wrapped in Nazi images to promote an Amazon video series called The Man in the High Castle. The show depicts the aftermath of Second World War as if the Axis powers had won. Officials confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered them removed. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WINNIPEG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Winnipeg man who flew into a rage and sexually assaulted a transgender escort he had hired has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison. James Leclaire, who is 29, was convicted earlier this year for the attack inside his home in July 2013. Court was told Leclaire grew angry after hiring the sex-trade worker. He was out on bail at the time for multiple sexual assaults and other violence against his former girlfriend in Calgary the year before. He has since been found guilty of those crimes and is awaiting sentencing later this year. The Crown was seeking up to five years in prison for Leclaire, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Leclaire claimed at trial he was acting in self-defence during the attack on the escort, despite the evidence and legal findings against him. Prosecutor Danielle Simard said the

victim of the Winnipeg assault suffered extensive physical and emotional trauma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a particularly vulnerable complainant living a high-risk lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? she said. Simard also told court there are frightening similarities between the Calgary attacks in 2012 and the Winnipeg incident. Both involved â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme angerâ&#x20AC;? and violence against women by a man who had otherwise lived a normal, law-abiding life up to that point. She said Leclaireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denials only add to his risk of re-offending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonder what underlying issues triggered the violence,â&#x20AC;? Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bench Justice Shawn Greenberg said Tuesday in handing down her decision. Court also heard that in the attacks against his ex-girlfriend, Leclaire got angry with the woman because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like her hanging out with other people. All of these incidents, which included three separate sex assaults, happened over a month-long period shortly after she miscarried.

Get cracking Kirkwood Academy taps into the talent of dozens of Vancouver Islanders for The Nutcracker. [SUZANNE OATES PHOTOGRAPHY]

Welcome the holiday season with Kirkwood Academy’s traditional ballet favourite at the Port Theatre SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

he holiday classic The Nutcracker dances likes sugarplums into the Port Theatre Friday and Saturday. The timeless ballet is going ahead thanks to the efforts of 160 children and parents from Nanaimo and the Island. Ballet Victoria performer Andrea Bayne will dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her colleague Matthew Cluff will dance the role of the Nutcracker. Madison Hovey, Abby Dishkin, Lauryn Rogers, Sophie Philip will all share the role of Clara, the ballet’s heroine. Kirkwood Academy director Carolé Martyn is spearheading the production. For Martyn, the production is a

family affair. Her husband Lindsay, with whom she co-owns the academy, designed and constructed the sets. Martyn also choreographed the rehearsed the play with help from her daughter Bev as well as Chantelle Norris and Samantha Madge. Martyn said the play’s popularity is due to its appeal across all age groups. “The children love to be in the production because of the camaraderie, the sense of being a part of a whole, and because when it all comes together after their hard work, with costumes, scenery and make up at the Port Theatre, it becomes something magical,” she said. “The audience enjoys it because it heralds in the start of the Christmas season, the music by Tchaikovsky is memorable. Nutcracker is great

family entertainment for all ages and there is something for everyone. “My own favourite part is the pas de deux (partnered work) between Clara and the Nutcracker and between the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker because a pas de deux is a very beautiful part of ballet and we don’t often get the opportunity to watch it.” The Nutcracker debuted at Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Dec. 18, 1892, and has since grown to become one of the most popular winter ballets of all time. Times for the local production are Friday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 28 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Ticket prices range from $15 for children to $26 for adults. Student and group rates are also available.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin, will be hosted by TheatreOne. The story begins in 13th-century Germany, where the community of Hamelin Town has become way too big for its lederhosen. Governed by a spoiled mayor, his mother and stuffy corporate types who have no interest in its hard-working townsfolk, the town is primed to learn some important lessons in life from the musical’s heroes, 10-year-old twins Celeste and Ralph. TheatreOne hosts Hamelin Saturday. When it [SHIZUKA KAI] seems that no one, other than their “Opa” Johannes, ever keeps their word, they come up with a plan to make the grown-ups wake up and smell the strudel. After ridiculous new taxes render this tight-knit family homeless, desperate for help, they encounter a hapless “minstrel,” a flute that has seen better days and of course, lots and lots of rats, with surprising plot twists. This unique revisit to The Piped Piper fable, which features a cast of six professional actor/musicians, is a toe-tapping 55-minute show that takes a fresh approach to illuminate “the importance of keeping your word.” Written by Leslie Mildiner and directed by Chris McGregor, the play is a production of the Vancouver-based Axis Theatre Company. Mildiner is an award-winning playwright, theatre director and television scriptwriter who has also written for numerous award-winning television animation shows, including the Class of the Titans. TheatreOne’s Nadine Wiepning said the Axis Theatre Company, an award-winning physical theatre company, is recognized as one of B.C’.s important cultural institutions that travels the world sharing its unique repertoire of plays for all ages. “Their plays, which have a focus on children and families, have been performed in Nanaimo through TheatreOne a number of times and have been very popular,” Weipning said. “The company provides very professional and high-quality performances. It’s one of only a few theatre companies that caters to kids and families and TheatreOne likes that.” Tickets are $10 each, or two for $18. They can be purchased on TheatreOne’s website at www.theatreone.org or by calling 250-754-7587. The show begins at 1 p.m.

Consort sings this Shining Night Orchestra offers a Prelude to Christmas DAILY NEWS

Baroque sounds, orchestral singalong are aimed at capturing the spirit of the season DAILY NEWS

Got the Christmas spirit yet? If not, we know some people who can help get you over the hump. The Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra is presenting their Christmas a little early this year, with A Prelude to Christmas, a concert of seasonal baroque music featuring the talents of noted mid-Island soprano Skye Donald. The show will feature a variety of early music, including early Christmas carols, and a chance to sing along with the orchestra. “Here is an opportunity to feel the non-commercial spirit of Christmas as the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra plays through a trajectory of time, beginning in the 18th century and leading to the present,” publicist Bruce Farquharson said in a media release. Listeners will be able to savour three Baroque Christmas concertos — by Torelli, Manfredini and Corelli — plus a rendition of Alessandro Scarlatti’s Christmas Cantata, featuring Donald. Donald is an Errington resident who has performed with the Vancouver Island Opera and Nanaimo Opera and been featured as a soloist for the Parksville & District Community Chorus, Malaspina Choir and Island Consort. The program will include also The Shepherd’s Farewell from Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ, a Christmas med-

DONALD

ley of five ancient carols, and a sing-along of a few familiar carols. “(It’s) guaranteed to send you home humming and anticipating Christmas in all its dimensions,” Farquharson said. The NCO, under the direction of Karl Rainer, has been busy with more than just preparing for this show, having just finished an engagement as the pit orchestra for Vancouver Island Opera’s production of Bellini’s Norma. Concerts are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Brechin United Church 1998 Estevan Rd., in Nanaimo and 2:30 p.m. Dec. 6 at St. Edmund’s Anglican Church, 407 Wembley Rd. in Parksville. Tickets are $20 ($5 for students, and under 12 for free) at the Port Theatre Box Office or at the door. For more information, see nanaimochamberorchestra.com.

If sounds were lights, then consider the aim of Island Consort to recreate a starlit winter sky. Nanaimo’s 20-voice community chamber choir is preparing to brighten Brechin United Church Sunday with This Shining Night, an eclectic mix of early music, opera, art songs and folk. “Music can create a sense of lustrous beauty to accompany our aural senses,” choir director Bruce Farquharson said in a media release. This Shining Night is a program that lends a diaphanous light to this choral performance. The evening begins with Durufle’s serene Ubi Caritas which leads to William Byrd’s Renaissance work, Mass for 4 Voices. Two selections from operas follow: Sharon Sinclair and Élizabeth Grenon to sing the soprano-alto duet, Abendsegen, from Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, then Skye Donald will sing the soprano aria Vissi d’Arte, from Puccini’s Tosca. Three pieces by early 20th-century Irish composer, Charles Stanford: Justorum Animae, Beati Quorum Via and The Bluebird, will follow before a beautiful arrangement of the Latvian folk tune Blow Winds brings the first half to a close.

The 20-voice Island Consort will perform Sunday in Nanaimo. [SUBMITTED]

Accompaniment by organist Peter Orme and strings players from the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra join the usual a cappela group for the second half opener, two movements from Buxtehude’s Baroque cantata Membra Jesu Nostri, a work that also features soprano and alto solos by members of the choir. The group then slides into a nod to the Christmas season with Cecilia McDowall’s contemporary

arrangement of a Renaissance carol Now May We Singen, followed by a new Casey Rule arrangement of Danny Boy, before concluding with Morten Lauridsen’s Sure On This Shining Night, based on lyrics by American poet, James Agee. This Nov. 29 show starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission at the door is $18, $5 for students (under 12, free). For more, go to www.islandconsort.ca.

Precocious novelist debuts at city’s Kris Kringle Craft Market ERIN HALUSCHAK COMOX VALLEY RECORD

TILL EFFECT - PRICE IN *PLUS DEPOSIT & TAX

@NanaimoDaily

What began as a class project for Courtenay student Katie Faith now has turned into publishing her first novel — the first in her urban fantasy trilogy. The Ravens is available for pre-order on Amazon, and Faith already has a book signing at the upcoming Kris Kringle Craft Market in Nanaimo, where she will be with her mentor, best-selling author Shannon Mayer. Faith is 13. “I’m always thinking of ideas,” she said. “(Collaborating) was a fun thing to do.” Utilizing a connection with the 4-H Club, her mom Gillian Koster helped Katie connect with Mayer, who she saw once a week. Mayer started her through the steps of a plot, characters, and brought to fruition the pieces of a novel. “It’s the best way to learn is just to do it,” said Mayer. Last August, Faith sent her a completed rough draft and spent the following eight to nine months editing and reviewing the story. “We picked (the novel) apart and went through each piece to understand what’s important.”

Just turned 13, Katie Faith has just published her first novel. [SUBMITTED]

Faith added she spent a lot of weekends working on editing the story, and admitted even with plenty of ideas, she did occasionally get bouts of writer’s block. “Sometimes you just never know how to start. I would take a break, read a book . . . or even sleep through it sometimes,” she said. Mayer, a USA Today bestselling author, said she valued the time she spent with Faith, and the mentorship allowed her to give back to the community of writers.

“We always looked at each other as two people of equal position; (Katie) is a very imaginative kid with real talent and a knack for writing.” The Ravens — a young adult urban fantasy — centres around Marry Clad, a 17-year-old who moves to Los Angeles and finds herself caught in the middle of a war she didn’t know was happening. She is taken in by The Ravens, and is taught to fight and finds out she has more power than she could have ever imagined. While the Queneesh Elementary School student admitted she would like to pursue a career as a writer, “I’m still pretty young,” she said. She has strong family ties to Nanaimo through her great grandparents Robert and Jean Burns (Jean Burns Ladies Wear), Sylvia and Gene Koster and Thelma and Haig Burns, all of Nanaimo and grandparents, Gerry Koster and Bobbie Jean Torry. For more information, visit katiefaithauthor.com. The Kris Kringle Craft Market at Beban Park Centre, 2300 Bowen Rd., runs Thursday to Sunday.

Stigma of mental illness Port Theatre gets down to brass tacks with Canadian Brass may impact treatment DAILY NEWS

Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My friend, “Andrea,” is in her early 20s and concerned about her mother, “Joan.” Joan has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and she has abused prescription and other drugs for as long as Andrea can remember. A few years ago, Joan was put on disability due to a work accident. Since the accident, she’s been jumping from doctor to doctor in order to get more medication. Meanwhile, she won’t take the prescription for her bipolar disorder, since she doesn’t think she needs it. Lately, Joan has been stranger than usual, hearing voices and showing up at Andrea’s house at all hours, peeking in the windows. Andrea is an only child, and the rest of her extended family are either enablers or in denial.

Andrea says she wants to get her mother into an inpatient facility where she’ll be safe. But I’m sure Joan would not go willingly, so it would have to be a forced commitment. I feel bad listening to Andrea vent every day and not being able to offer any real advice. How can I help her? — Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: Please suggest to Andrea that she call the National Alliance for Mental Illness Helpline at 800-950-6264 for resources and information to assist both herself and her mother. NAMI offers support groups for the friends and family members of individuals living with mental illness. Mental illness is a medical condition, like heart disease or diabetes. The stigma that Joan is experiencing may be contributing to her choice not to seek treatment. Focus on supporting Andrea in setting boundaries while remaining compassionate and supportive of her mother.

Canadian Brass may have the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group.”

The holiday-season blockbuster at the Chemainus Theatre this year is the Broadway musical, Elf.

This is Christmas-maximus!”

This show is a polished, highenergy classic and includes a bevy of festive and playful songs. Brad L’Écuyer joins musicians Alicia Murray and Nico Rhodes in performing 18 resounding pieces, such as: Christmastown, World’s Greatest Dad, Sparklejollytwinklejingley, A Christmas Song, and Nobody Cares About Santa.

Health, in it’s most foul terms

Premier Canadian comic here in spring

By using language they understand, author urges men to better care for themselves

DAILY NEWS

TRAVIS PATERSON SAANICH NEWS

New author Ryan Levis might be the most foul-mouthed lobbyist for mental health in Canada. But the truth is, it’s a matter of strategy. Don’t be put off by the name of his new book, Dick Loss Prevention, Volume I: Make Sure Your Dick Doesn’t Fall Off Before You Die Drunk and Alone. It’s best to meet your target audience word for word, he says. “Dick Loss Prevention uses language that is common to men who have not yet made the leap into health awareness,” Levis says. “The reason (it) uses a crude vernacular is because the messaging we see around domestic violence prevention has a fundamental vernacular rift between what is politically correct speech and the realistic language of violence.” It should be noted that the Saanich-raised Shakespearian actor can switch from purple to proper prose in a heartbeat. His vocabulary is steeped from academia, and doesn’t just draw from the locker room. The book, and the performance tour that goes with it, fall under the self-help genre, but are delivered with bold humour and crude satire. The goal is

Saanich author and satirist Ryan Levis takes a bold approach to educate males on men’s health, mental health and domestic violence. [KATIE SAGE]

to encourage male emotional health and reduce domestic violence. Levis is planning a performance tour of Canadian universities called Men’s Health Week to support the book, which has featured his new Consent Score Card beer coasters designed to educate young adults on collaborative sexual consent. He draws from his experience with the Victoria Shakespeare Festival, from stand-up comedy gigs, and from time spent in the mental health industry including working in suicide intervention. As silly as it sounds, Dick Loss Prevention Volume 1 is actually the first step in a “master plan.” Levis’ true intention is to create affordable housing through community co-operatives. When Levis finished at the University

of Victoria in 2011 he won a national business award for his entrepreneurial models on co-operative housing. If it sounds like there’s a link missing here, there isn’t, he explains. Co-operative housing is at a standstill as the 30-year federal subsidy agreements are currently expiring across the country. While there are campaigns underway to stabilize the future of co-operative housing in B.C. and Canada, Levis is taking another tack. “I learned that co-operative housing will not work unless the market has been educated in conflict resolution.” So Levis is determined to educate the market, which, he says, is largely made up of people who want to own but are pushed out by high prices. This includes

young males who are all likely candidates to become the male figure in a family, or at least in a relationship. “I want to help create communities that are economically collaborative,” Levis says. “The book focuses on how men can de-escalate their own dramas, use communication to alleviate their own discomfort and create a more self-accepting masculine culture, (thereby) leading to reduced levels of strife and a healthier male experience.” Levis successfully crowd funded more than $7,000 to fund his book and is already editing Volume II of the Dick Loss Prevention series. He will be speaking at Vancouver Island University’s Malaspina Theatre at noon daily until Friday. The show is free.

One of Canada’s sharpest — and funniest voices is coming to Nanaimo next spring. Rick Mercer: Rant and Raise will feature the Canadian comedic icon rattling through one of his trademark rants in order MERCER to help raise funds for the Nanaimo Child Development Centre. Celebrity emcee Viki Gabereau will host as Mercer riffs his way through an evening based on his best-selling book Canada: A Nation Worth Ranting About, where he satirizes all things Canadian. “Mercer, known as “Canada’s Unofficial Opposition,” is our most popular comic, a political satirist who knows exactly what matters to regular Canadians and what makes them laugh,” event promotional material states. Tickets for the 8 p.m. April 6 Port Theatre show are $99 through the Port Theatre box office.

TRAUMA AND RECOVERY

Fleury has ‘Conversations With A Rattlesnake’ Former hockey star combines with Victoria-based therapist to speak about healing from childhood trauma SCOTT STANFIELD COMOX VALLEY RECORD

heoren Fleury is in elite company among former National Hockey League players. He won a Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold medal and surpassed the 1,000-point plateau. He has since co-authored two books and addressed audiences at numerous speaking engagements across Canada. His first book, Playing with Fire, discusses the shock of his childhood trauma of being abused by his junior hockey coach, and the ensuing emotional pain. The second, Conversations with a Rattlesnake, contains personal insights and information about healing. He co-wrote the second with Victoria-based therapist Kim Barthel, whom he met a few years ago at a conference in Winnipeg on the subject of resiliency. Both were keynote speakers at the event. “I was absolutely blown away at the information she was providing the audience,” Fleury said. “I went over and started this conversation, and we haven’t stopped talking. That was three years ago. She is probably the world leader in talking about childhood trauma.”

Theo Fleury and Kim Barthel bring their ‘Conversations with a Rattlesnake’ speaking tour to Courtenay on Saturday. [SUBMITTED]

Fleury and Barthel will engage in a ‘healing conversation’ with an audience during an all-day session at the Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay on Saturday. “We basically wrote this book to help people model this conversation around how to overcome trauma in your childhood years, your most influential years,” Fleury said. “Once you start the conversation, it’s really not that difficult.” He’s known for his “brutal honesty”

— which Fleury feels is a necessary ingredient when dealing with our past. “I think it’s finding a safe person where you can start to have this conversation. Somebody who’s not going to judge you. It’s about relationship. And the first relationship you have to have is with yourself.” The conversation includes learned behaviour, which requires compassion and understanding, as opposed to finger pointing.

“We don’t want to ever look at ourselves, that’s why we point the finger,” Fleury said. “’In your eyes I see myself as . . .’ That’s compassion. Understanding we are all flawed, and it’s our experiences that have made us that way. It’s the only way we’re going to deal with the cycle of trauma.” He describes trauma as “the human experience of everybody” to which no one is immune. “The reason why we have a worldwide epidemic of mental health issues is because of trauma. Trauma is the start, and that’s why we have all kinds of addictions . . . anything that takes us out of feeling what our true feelings are.” In recent years, Fleury’s schedule has been filled with radio and television appearances, book signings and healing forums. He says the latter have been well received. “They are life-changing events for the people that are in the audience. It’s a whole day of conversation with the audience, moving in and out of different topics. “Every conference that we do takes on its own life. Sometimes it’s about grief, sometimes it’s about anger. We let the audience take it where it wants to go.”

On Wednesday, he and Barthel were scheduled to speak to inmates at a prison in Prince Albert, Sask. It was to be their fourth prison visit. “It is probably the best thing that we do,” Fleury said. “They’re the key to all this, to solving this problem.” Along with the forums, they are also co-hosting an Internet radio show, and launching an app (CWAR) to stay connected with others interested in healing and collective support. Fleury and Barthel are also involved in the Breaking Free Foundation, which provides treatment and support to trauma survivors. Those without financial resources can apply for a grant. If approved, their therapy will be paid for. The non-profit BFF grew out of the Victor Walk, a grassroots way to raise further awareness and get people talking about childhood trauma. “We pick a province every year,” Fleury said. “Last year we walked from Edmonton to Calgary.” When time permits, Fleury still laces on the skates. He was to arrive home Thursday night. On Friday morning, he plans to hit the ice and play all day in a Hockey Helps The Homeless tournament in Calgary.

NHL

Canucks able to hold off Wild in 3-2 win Long string of blown third-period leads seems to be over for Vancouver, but there is still work to be done SPORTS INSIDE Today’s issue

BRAD ZIEMER VANCOUVER SUN

elcome back, Radim Vrbata. The Vancouver Canucks have really missed you. You remember Vrbata? The guy who scored a team-high 31 goals last season? Well, he finally returned Wednesday night. Vrbata, seemingly snake-bitten this season, scored two goals as the Canucks began their latest road trip with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center. It didn’t come easy. The Canucks had to weather a shaky start and a frantic finish before handing the Wild just their second loss on home ice this season. It was a win the Canucks desperately needed. Vancouver, now 9-8-6 on the season, had lost eight of its previous 10 games and face four tough Western Conference opponents on this trip. It wasn’t just that Vrbata scored Wednesday night. It was the way he scored. Both of his goals were of the sniper variety, where Vrbata took a pass in the slot and beat Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk with quick, accurate shots. We saw lots of those types of goals last season from Vrbata, but before Wednesday night he had been firing blanks. His first four goals this season came from around the net. One he whacked in out of mid-air with a baseball type swing with his stick, another bounced in off his skate.

These were Radium Vrbata goals and the Canucks can only hope there are more to come. “Obviously, it felt good,” a relieved Vrbata said after the game. “It’s a lot better talking to you guys after a game like this where it finally went in than after a game where it wasn’t going in. Those goals helped us win a game and it is a good start to the road trip.” Vrbata has been frustrated all season by his inability to score goals from his wheelhouse. He felt like he’s had plenty of good looks all season, but nothing was going in. “That was the difference last year,” he said. “Those timely goals were going in last year and they were mak-

ing differences in games where we were winning those one-goal games. This year, we were not, we were losing. So it’s nice those goals made a difference today.” Vrbata’s first goal came in the final minute of the first period, when he converted a beautiful backhand pass out of the corner from rookie centre Jared McCann. It tied the game 1-1 and seemed to turn the tide of the game. Up until then, it had been all Wild and Vancouver goalie Ryan Miller had held the Canucks in the game. “We didn’t have a great first period so that was a goal that got us even on the period when we probably didn’t deserve to be even,” said Vancouver

coach Willie Desjardins. “It was good for Vrbata to score like we need him to score and it’s good for him to find the net with a couple of skill plays.” Vrbata gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead when he scored on the power play midway through the second period, this time converting a feed from Henrik Sedin. “We have been watching the Sedin boys (score) at a great clip lately and to get Verbie in the mix is great,” said Miller, who made 31 saves. “Secondary scoring like his is really valuable. He made smart shots from the centre of the slot. He got them off quick and Dubnyk didn’t really have time to set on either one. It’s good for us and it got us on the right side of things.”

B12 B13 B14 B15 B16

When Jannik Hansen scored after a nice stretch pass from Daniel Sedin five minutes into the third period it looked like the Canucks had the game in hand. But it seems things are never easy for the Canucks, who were scrambling after defenceman Charlie Coyle tipped a Ryan Suter shot past Miller with Dubnyk on the bench for an extra attacker at 18:40 of the third. And when Alex Edler was called for hooking at 19:23 of the third, you wondered if we were going to see another third-period meltdown from the Canucks. But Miller stood tall and defenceman Dan Hamhuis made a huge block in the dying seconds to preserve the win. “We battled when we had to in the third when it was time for desperation,” Miller said.

BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS

QUEBEC — Blake Nill is no stranger to Quebec City. The long-time Canadian university football coach will play a championship game at Laval University’s Telus Stadium for the fourth time since 2009 when his sixth-ranked UBC Thunderbirds take on the fourth-ranked University of Montreal Carabins in the Vanier Cup game. “I’ve always enjoyed playing in Quebec City,” Nill said Wednesday at a news conference. “I’d rather play in Quebec City where there’s passion for football than play somewhere where there’s not.” When Laval won the bid to be host of the CIS championship game it was thought its powerhouse team, the Rouge et Or, would be playing for an eighth national title. Instead, the Carabins upset Laval in the Quebec Conference championship and coach Danny Maciocia’s squad will be gunning for a second Vanier Cup title in a row, after beating McMaster on home turf last year. About 11,000 tickets had been sold as of Wednesday and a crowd of about 13,000 is expected, down from the standing room only throng of 18,543 when the Rouge et Or won at home in 2013 but still quite good for CIS football. Nill, a two-time Vanier Cup champion with St. Mary’s in 2001 and 2002, made a surprise jump to UBC this season after nine years with the Calgary Dinos, who lost Vanier Cup games to Queen’s and to Laval in 2010 and 2013, all at Telus Stadium. That losing streak ended in a

“This year defies logic for our program.“ Blake Nill, UBC head coach

pre-season game on Aug. 29, when his Thunderbirds, who went 2-6 in 2014, trounced the Rouge et Or 41-16 in a pre-season game. UBC went on to go 6-2 in conference play, then beat 8-0 Calgary in the playoffs. “This year defies logic for our program,” said Nill. “We were coming into a program that hasn’t had the culture to succeed for quite a while. “This group is not the biggest, fastest or strongest I’ve ever had, but what they are is the most resilient group I’ve had. They overcame a coaching change, which is very difficult for student athletes at their age.” UBC reportedly found boosters to make a big offer for Nill. It paid off when his renowned ability to recruit top athletes paid off in landing first-year quarterback Mike O’Connor, an Ottawa native who spent last season with Penn State. Now UBC is gunning for a first Vanier Cup since 1997 and a second in its history. “The win at Laval was pretty special,” said Nill. “I remember at half time one of my assistant coaches asked ‘what’s happening here’ and I said ‘I don’t know.’ “But the feeling there quickly diminished when we were getting pounded in Calgary the following week.” Maciocia, the former head coach and general manager of the

Edmonton Eskimos, has spent five years building the Carabins into a team able to match Laval on every level. He lost a handful of key seniors after least year’s Vanier Cup, including standout linebacker Byron Archambeault, but was able to plug in new bodies and stay on top. “We’re very proud to be back,” said Maciocia. “This was a special year. “Not many people thought we could do it.” It was only natural that he would end up facing a team coached by Nill, the former CFL defensive lineman from Hanna, Alta., who has had contenders where ever he has coached. “It doesn’t surprise me the success he’s had in a short period of time,” said Maciocia. “He’s one of the better recruiters in the country. “He’s got a template and it works for him, whether it’s at St. Mary’s or Calgary or UBC.”

Chapdelaine, Cook looking for first titles Nanaimo football fans watching the Vanier Cup will notice two familiar players in UBC uniforms — former Vancouver Island Raiders stars Dylan Chapdelaine, a starting middle linebacker for the Thunderbirds, and receiver Marshall Cook. Nick Cessford, a former Ballenas Whalers standout, also plays offensive line for the Thunderbirds. Chapdelaine had four solo tackles in UBC’s Uteck bowl win, adding to his total of 16 in eight games this season after suffering an injury in training camp. Cook has 17 catches this season for 167 yards.

Three Barsby players make U18 Team B.C. Three John Barsby Bulldogs seniors aren’t quite done with football despite having their season ended on Saturday in the Varsity AA provincial quarterfinals. Defensive end Doyle Sosnowski, linebacker Cory Fletcher, and quarterback Nathanael Durkan have each been invited to play for Team B.C. to compete in the High Roller International Football Showdown in Las Vegas from Jan. 22 to 24.

Eskimos picked to win Grey Cup Edmonton’s defensive performance against Ottawa this year have been impressive DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Edmonton Eskimos head coach Chris Jones knows all too well how good Ottawa Redblacks veteran quarterback Henry Burris can be in a Grey Cup game. Jones was the Calgary Stampeders’ defensive co-ordinator in 2008 when they won the Grey Cup with a 22-14 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at Olympic Stadium. Burris was named the game MVP after throwing for 328 yards and a TD and rushing for a team-high 79 yards on nine carries. Under Jones, Edmonton finished tied with Calgary for the CFL’s best record at 14-4 but secured top spot in the West Division standings by winning the season series. The Eskimos then beat the defending league champions 45-31 in the West Division final. Burris was a big reason for the huge turnaround in Ottawa. After posting a 2-16 record in their inaugural season, the Redblacks finished atop the East Division with a 12-6 record, then secured the city’s first Grey Cup appearance since 1981 with a thrilling 35-28 win over Hamilton in the conference final.

remaining earned Ottawa its winning margin. The 40-year-old quarterback has been sensational this season, registering a CFL-record 481 completions and league-leading 5,703 passing yards. And Burris has been terrific in spreading the wealth as Ottawa finished the regular season with four 1,000-yard receivers, something that creates matchup difficulties for opposing defences. What’s more, Ottawa comes into the Grey Cup on a nice roll, having won five straight games. But the Redblacks were 0-2 versus Edmon-

MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens rewarded Marc Bergevin’s efforts to make the Montreal Canadiens a Stanley Cup contender with a long-term contract extension. The Canadiens announced Wednesday they signed their general manager and executive vice president to an extension through the end of the 2021-22 season. The Canadiens have made the playoffs in three straight seasons under Bergevin’s watch, reaching the Eastern Conference final in 2013-14 and finishing second overall in the regular season before falling in the second round of playoffs last season. Bergevin joined the Canadiens from the Chicago Blackhawks organization on May 2, 2012, taking over a team that had only 78 points in 2011-12 under Pierre Gauthier. The Canadiens have posted a 141-68-25 record under Bergevin, ranking third in the NHL in wins over that span. “This new agreement brings added stability for our organization and particularly for our hockey operations,” owner and team president Geoff Molson said in a statement. “It enables us to continue our efforts in giving our fans a winning team. “Marc is an excellent general manager who quickly made an impact in the league with his leadership skills and his ability to identify the needs and find the personnel to assemble a championship team.”

ton this season and have yet to see Eskimos starter Mike Reilly up close and personal. Reilly was hurt for both previous matchups with Ottawa after sustaining knee injury in Edmonton’s season-opening loss to Toronto. Since Reilly returned as the starter, the Eskimos have reeled off nine straight victories. And that includes three against Calgary after going 0-4 to the Stampeders in 2014. A constant for Edmonton this year has been a staunch defence, one that allowed a league-low 18.9 points per game. Ottawa counters with a solid

unit — one that was ranked first in fewest yards allowed (297.6 per game), rushing yards (70.8) and most sacks (62) — but Jones is the difference-maker. Jones is an aggressive coach who’s not afraid to bring pressure from anywhere on the field. He’ll drop defensive linemen into coverage and bring defensive backs on blitzes in order to pressure the passer and generally wreak havoc. Burris was 20-of-36 passing for 162 yards and an interception in Ottawa’s first meeting with Edmonton, a 46-17 loss at Commonwealth Stadium on July 10. He finished 29-of-39 for 252 yards and an interception the following week but the Eskimos left TD Place with a 23-12 victory. The Eskimos have shown they can play defence against Ottawa and have the talent in the secondary to handle the East squad’s four 1,000-yard receivers. Edmonton does boast two 1,000-yard receivers but it’s Reilly who makes that offence go and the Redblacks’ defence will get its first look at him Sunday. And the combination of Jones, Reilly and nine straight wins make it hard to go against the West Division champions. Pick — Edmonton. Last week: 2-0.

NBA

Warriors look for more JANIE MCCAULEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND, Calif. — Even though he hasn’t been in his usual spot on the bench, ailing coach Steve Kerr has contributed plenty to Golden State’s record start. On Tuesday night, his defending champion Warriors routed the Los Angeles Lakers 111-77 to become the first team in NBA history to begin a season 16-0. Hours earlier, Kerr offered his thoughts — then spent the game behind the scenes still recovering from a pair of back operations as interim coach Luke Walton led the squad to its latest win. It hasn’t been easy to be away as he heals. Kerr’s message focused on Golden State’s core values: Joy. Mindfulness. Compassion. Competition. “He just reminded everybody, he put them up on the white board before we started shootaround and he reminded

the guys what those values were,” Walton said. “He emphasized to them how proud he was watching them, because we’re hitting all four of those values. The first one and the most important one is probably joy. He wants us having fun. It’s a long season, this game’s meant to be fun. “When we hit those four things we’re not only very tough to beat, but we’re very fun to watch, we’re very fun to coach, we’re very fun to be around, and he just told the guys how happy he was that they’re continuing to do those things.” And there’s no doubt these Dubs are the league’s most entertaining team, having plenty of fun as they chase far more than this sizzling start in November. Kerr challenged this group to take it to another level this season and not settle for being the champs, acknowledging the Warriors will get everybody’s best shot in every city and at home.

Raptors grab rare win over Cavs LORI EWING THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan had to think long and hard to remember the last time the Toronto Raptors had beaten LeBron James on their home court. It was Oct. 28, 2010 — DeRozan’s first NBA regular-season game. “Damn, you just gave me a reality check how long I’ve been in the league,” DeRozan said. “It’s definitely crazy. I grew up watching him, I had a relationship with him before I was in the league, so just to go against him even to this day is definitely crazy to see how much time has changed.” Kyle Lowry poured in 27 points, four steals and six assists, while DeRozan added 20, and the Raptors finally got the better of James and his Cleveland Cavaliers in a 103-99 victory Wednesday night. It was Toronto’s solid defensive effort that had players talking in the post-game dressing room. “Like I said before, you try to be that gnat on that summer day, when you’re eating that barbecue, you know what I’m talking about?” said DeMarre Carroll, who was tasked with the tough job of guard-

DeROZAN

ing James for a good chunk of the night. “ It’s in your face and you can’t get it out. That’s all I was trying to be, man. “(James) is a great player. You can’t stop him, you can only slow him down and that’s what I tried to do tonight.” Carroll scored 12 points, while Luis Scola had 15 points and seven rebounds. Bismack Biyombo grabbed 12 rebounds to go with 11 points — including a couple of key dunks down the stretch — for a Raptors team (10-6) missing starting centre Jonas Valanciunas (broken hand). “We got a hell of a defender in

DeMarre Carroll,” DeRozan said. “That is one of the main reasons we brought him in and he did a heck of a job. “You seen it last year in the playoffs and he’s carrying it over and helping us.” James led the Cavaliers (11-4) with 24 points, while Kevin Love added 21, and Mo Williams and JR Smith chipped in with 15 apiece. Brampton, Ont., native Tristan Thompson had eight points to go with 11 rebounds. The Raptors were finally back home after a western road swing that saw them go 2-3 and lose Valanciunas for approximately six weeks. They were also playing just their fifth home game of the season — second lowest in the league — and were hoping the good vibes of home court would lift them past James and his Cavs. Toronto took an 82-80 lead into the fourth quarter of the see-saw affair, in front of capacity crowd of 20,140 that turned out for the third annual Drake Night. The Toronto rapper — and Raptors’ global ambassador — sat courtside with his mom, and the Raptors wore their alternate black and gold Drake jerseys.

Fall delivered more vice captains, no Ryder Cup points for players

Rams’ receiver shot in head, will survive

Doug Ferguson On The Fringe

avis Love III wore more than one hat at Sea Island, and sometimes he couldn’t switch them fast enough. Love is the Ryder Cup captain, and he was part of the task force that decided Americans who competed in the fall start to the PGA Tour season should not get any Ryder Cup points. Love also is the tournament host of the RSM Classic, the final event of the fall. Love’s playing partner the first two rounds — not to mention his house guest for the week — was Justin Thomas. He won the CIMB Classic in Malaysia and missed the playoff by one shot at the Frys.com Open, a field that included four players from the last Ryder Cup. Thomas remains No. 33 in the Ryder Cup standings. If points had been awarded in the fall — when several top golfers only play sparingly — he would be No. 6. Love handed out the RSM Classic trophy to Kevin Kisner, who broke the tournament scoring record by four shots with his sixshot victory. Kisner is on the verge of becoming a force in American golf, having built an efficient swing under John Tillery to go along with an already stout short game. He was No. 236 going into the year and — thanks to four runner-up finishes and his victory at Sea Island — he now is No. 17. He would be No. 3 in the Ryder

Cup if the fall had counted. He remains at No. 6, one spot behind Phil Mickelson. Along with wearing different hats, Love had to change shirts to a Ryder Cup logo when he announced three more vice captains for the 2016 matches at Hazeltine. It was during that press conference that Love was asked if he was comfortable that no Ryder Cup points were awarded in the fall. “It’s tough for me to answer that question at the RSM Classic,” Love said with a smile. At least he didn’t duck it. Love must have been in an awkward spot at those task force meetings. He had to divide his loyalties to the Ryder Cup task force, to his fall tournament at Sea Island and to his tour, which saved the fall events and their combined $39.8 million in prize money. The fall events now are like all the other stand-alone PGA Tour events by awarding full FedEx Cup points and a spot in the Masters to the winner.

They just don’t get Ryder Cup points, which they did in 2013. “As a group, that was the decision that was made,” Love said. “Yes, that’s what I said. We didn’t take minutes, luckily, but I think I said that after a lot of discussion I can always consider . . . the guys when they play, I can always give them credit for it. Justin Thomas winning in Malaysia was noticed, obviously. Got him an extra pillow on his bed this week. So I will take notice of how guys are playing.” Kisner is a straight shooter with Southern drollness. “I definitely want to be on the Ryder Cup,” he said. “And to be able to play for Davis would be huge for me after winning here. Obviously, I didn’t get any points here. “But if I continue playing the way I am now, I hope to be on that team.” Does it even matter that points were not awarded? Only two winners from the fall of 2013 qualified for the U.S.

team — Jimmy Walker and Dustin Johnson — and they would have made it without those points. Besides, the Americans are as deep as Europe was a decade ago. They probably could field two teams of equal strength (and, given recent history, Europe would beat either one). Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland picked up valuable Ryder Cup points from his two fall events on the PGA Tour. Just like Kisner or Thomas, he won’t make the team unless he keeps playing well. For the Americans, the message has been mixed. Mickelson, who doesn’t play in the fall, was eager to explain in March that fall tournaments should not be awarded points. He said it wouldn’t be fair to give the “bottom half of the tour” what amounts to a head start over the “top guys.” Given the emergence of a new generation, does anyone know who the top guys are anymore? Love, meanwhile, said last week that the last six months of qualification are the most important. He said in a perfect world, “I wouldn’t even count much this year.” For 2015, one point was awarded for every $1,000 in the majors, with one point for every $2,000 in The Players Championship and World Golf Championships. Kisner didn’t play in three of them. Thomas didn’t play in five of them. Mickelson received twice as many points for his runner-up finish in April at the Masters than Kisner for his runner-up finish in a World Golf Championship in November. Not to worry. It will sort itself out in the end. The good news? At least we know who the vice captains will be.

Coaching carousel continues to spin St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock felt a little sheepish arriving in Buffalo for a game this week. In greeting two members of the Sabres’ new coaching staff, he mistakenly snubbed another. “I forgot to say hello to Dave Barr, because I had forgotten David was here,” Hitchcock said with a laugh. After eight teams changed coaches since the end of last season, it hasn’t been easy keeping track.

ST. LOUIS — Many St. Louis Rams players woke to the news that Stedman Bailey had been shot in the head. They were relieved to learn the wide receiver is expected to recover. “I think immediately your thoughts go to what’s really important,” defensive end Chris Long said after practice Wednesday. “He’s a great dude, I’ll look forward to the day I see him playing again.” Bailey was in intensive care and in stable condition at a Miami area hospital after undergoing a surgical procedure that Rams coach Jeff Fisher said lasted 4-6 hours. Fisher said he didn’t anticipate Bailey, who is eligible to return from a suspension in two weeks, would play again this season. “Whether you’re a coach or you’re a father or you’re a family member, anytime something like that happens it’s very, very difficult,” Fisher said after practice. It made for a sobering atmosphere at Rams Park, although loud music was played during practice as usual to prepare the team to play at Cincinnati this week. Fisher did not have specifics on the amount of times the 25-year-old Bailey was shot or the circumstances of the shooting, or why the operation took so long. Fisher mentioned “two or three shots and an injury to the hip.” “We don’t know exactly where the bullets are. Are there two or is there one? We don’t know any of those things,” middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. Fisher twice updated players Wednesday about Bailey, who had gotten permission to work out in Florida at least part of the time since being suspended in early November for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Defensive end William Hayes called Fisher to confirm the news late Tuesday after seeing it on a text message. He said he got about 2-3 hours’ sleep worrying about Bailey.

“How many are there?” said the Sharks’ Peter DeBoer, one of the coaches who landed in a new spot. “It’s a tough league to work in. And success is expected.” An increase in competitive parity and the introduction of the salary cap are credited for being the driving forces behind the lack of job security among NHL coaches. And yet, the numbers haven’t entirely changed. According to STATS, there have been 54 NHL coaching changes since the start of the 2010-11 season. There were 57 changes that occurred in the five-year

span preceding the lockout that wiped out the 2004-05 season. “Teams make decisions on coaches based upon history: How long has he been there? Are we getting better or not?” Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. “I don’t think teams make decisions on coaches based on just eight or 15 games. You want to have patience because you believed in the coach in the first place.” Though not all changes work, Sabres GM Tim Murray noted there are enough examples of coaching shuffles providing a spark. It happened in Ottawa last

year. Once Paul MacLean was fired following an 11-11-5 start, the Senators went 32-15-8 under Dave Cameron to qualify for the playoffs. In 2009, the Penguins fired Michel Therrien, and Dan Bylsma led Pittsburgh to a Stanley Cup title. The latest change has so far paid off in Columbus, where the Blue Jackets are 8-7 under John Tortorella after opening the season 0-7 under Todd Richards. “It’s the mentality. He’s come in and not really cared about what’s happened in the past. This is his standard now,” Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno said.

Price leaves with recurring injury, Canadiens still win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Star goalie Carey Price exited with a recurring injury, but Devante Smith-Pelly and Alex Galchenyuk scored in the opening 1:29 of the third period and the Montreal Canadiens beat the New York Rangers 5-1 Wednesday night in a matchup of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Smith-Pelley had two goals. Sven Andrighetto and Max Pacioretty also

scored for the Canadiens, who have handed the Rangers (16-4-2) two of their four losses in regulation this season. Price stopped 22 shots in the first two periods and was replaced at the start of the third by Mike Condon in a 2-1 game. After it was over, coach Michel Therrien said Price was sidelined by the same lower-body injury that kept him out for eight games earlier this month. This was his third game back.

Price was the NHL MVP and Vezina Trophy winner last season as the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top goalie. PENGUINS 4, BLUES 3, OT Evgeni Malkin scored 1:03 into overtime and Sidney Crosby broke out with two goals to lift Pittsburgh over St. Louis. Malkin took a lead pass from Phil Kessel and beat goaltender Jake Allen on the backhand for his eighth of the season and fifth game-winner.

Crosby scored his fourth and fifth of the season and now has a goal against every NHL team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he had five assists in 10 career meetings against St. Louis. It was also the first time Crosby scored two regular-season goals since February, a span of 47 games. Ben Lovejoy also scored to help the Penguins finish 3-1 during a four-game homestand after dropping three of their previous four. Marc-Andre Fleury made 29 saves for his 11th win of the season.

Alex Pietrangelo tied the game 3-3 with 5:41 left in the third period. St. Louis also got goals from Paul Stastny and Robby Fabbri. LIGHTNING 2, KINGS 1, SO Valtteri Filppula scored the game-winning goal in the third round of a shootout to lift Tampa Bay over Los Angeles. The Lightning won the tiebreaker 2-1 after Filppula made a nice move to beat Jonathan Quick.

Tacoma leads the way again

f you watch much television, you could be forgiven for thinking that the only trucks in North America come from the domestic Big Three. Despite their overwhelming presence, the Toyota Tacoma has led the way in the mid-size pickup segment for most of its life. As of April this year it ranked fifth overall in truck sales and number one in the mid-size segment, well ahead of Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier and GMC Canyon. See TACOMA, Page B18

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015

2016 Tacoma holds its leadership among mid-size pickups Starting out in 1995 as a compact pickup, it replaced the elderly HiLux model and got a new name. Tacoma is what the Coast Salish people call Mt. Rainier. It quickly gained acceptance for its durability and reliability and grew from compact to mid-size in 2004. But perhaps the most significant measure of the Tacoma’s popularity is its resale value. For the last six years it has been awarded the Best Retained Value Award in the small pickup segment by Canada’s Black Book, the industry’s primary source of resale values. Maintaining its position in the market means keeping ahead of the competition and Toyota has practically re-invented the Tacoma for 2016, simultaneously addressing performance, ride, cabin comfort and fuel economy. Everything starts with styling — nobody wants an ugly truck in the driveway — and this Tacoma is the snappiest dresser in the mid-size segment. The new front grille reminds us of its big brother the Tundra while the muscular bulges of the front fenders emphasize the Tacoma’s bolder stance on the

road. This Tacoma has a look that commands attention and echoes the words of Chief Engineer Mike Sweers, who said, “0ur goal was to build a ‘badass’ truck.” I’d say they pulled it off. The Tacoma comes in 4X2 or 4X4 access cab (two-door) with a choice of four- cylinder or V6 engines or in 4X4 double cab V6 versions. Pricing for the 4X2 Tacoma Access Cab starts at $27,995. The base engine is the carryover 159 horsepower, DOHC four-cylinder mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. But the big news is the new 278 horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 (replacing the previous 4.0-litre) with a new six-speed electronically controlled automatic with manual mode. This is the advanced D-4S

engine that uses port injection at low revs and direct injection at higher revs for the most efficient power delivery and fuel economy. The only other vehicles with it are the high performance Scion FR-S, the Lexus IS 350 and GS 350. Our tester was the 4X4 Double Cab Limited with the V6 and six-foot bed, finished in black with hickory (brown) perforated leather seating. Other trims include SR+, SR5, TRDOff Road and TRD Sport with various performance features e.g. the TRD off-road package gets Bilstein shocks, four-wheel crawl control, multi-terrain select system, underside protection plates and rear differential lock. The ride quality of the previous model has been dramatically improved with rear, gas-filled shock absorbers plus stiffer coils and heftier anti-sway bars vertical motion over dips and bumps is much better controlled and body lean in the corners is much flatter while the variable rack-and-pinion steering responds quickly with crisp turn-in and strong on-line tracking at highway speeds. This Tacoma feels much tighter and more athletic than the previous model. The Limited comes with a part

time 4WD system featuring an Electronically controlled transfer case and automatic limited slip rear differential. A simple dial on the dash lets you select 2WD, 4x4 Hi or 4x4 Lo. Toyota’s Star Safety System adds vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution, brake assist and smart stop technology. Safety features include hill start assist, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sonar assist and rear cross traffic alert. The redesigned cabin offers more thigh and shoulder room, better sound insulation, more soft touch surfaces and upgraded materials. Both front buckets are heated and have full manual adjustments. The rear 60/40-split rear bench can fold down or up, revealing additional cargo cubbies. Your touch screen handles the standard Navigation system with voice recognition, back-up camera and seven-speaker JBL audio with AM/FM/CD and three months of free XM Sirius satellite radio. Plus you get a USB port, auxiliary input, wireless audio streaming and phone book access. Two new features with extra appeal are the standard Go-Pro

camera mount on the windshield (so you can record your off-road adventures) and Qi charging. No more need for charging cables, just place your device on the no-slip tray and it will charge. Other neat touches are the tough, fibre composite bedliner, 120v/400 watt cargo bed outlet, the tie downs and cleats, the easy drop/lift tailgate, Class IV hitch with seven-pin connector and trailer sway control. Tow capability is now 6,800 lbs. (up 300 lbs.) and payload is increased from 1,200 to 1,620 lbs. The 2016 Tacoma looks set to maintain its leadership among mid-size pickups.

◆ LOS ANGELES

Audi executive says sales of their cars undiminished in U.S. The president of Audi of America predicts the emissions-rigging scandal that has implicated some of its diesel models will not diminish sales in the United States. Two months ago, news broke that hundreds

of thousands of diesel cars made by the Volkswagen group — mostly VWs, but also some Audi models — had their emissions devices doctored to beat U.S. tailpipe tests. Audi of America President Scott Keogh told reporters Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show that November and December also will beat past sales records for those months. — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fiat Chrysler in deal for tax credits

DAVID EGGERT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANSING, Mich. — Fiat Chrysler will have to spend an additional $1 billion on Michigan facilities over 15 years to qualify for $1.9 billion in business tax credits under an agreement approved Tuesday by the state’s economic development board. The deal, the second with a Detroit Three automaker this year, is designed to help Michigan get a better handle on billions in tax incentives given to keep auto jobs in the state, primarily during the economic downturn. The redemption of higher-than-expected credits led to mid-budget year spending cuts in February. The agreement amends a 2010 deal between what was then Chrysler Group LLC (now FCA US LLC) and the former Michigan Economic Growth Authority. The carmaker at the time was offered what was projected to be $1.3 billion in tax credits through 2031 for a maximum of 20,000 retained jobs in the state. The credits are worth more, though — nearly $2 billion — because of higher wages and other factors. The new deal caps Fiat Chrysler’s maximum credits at $1.93 billion through 2029 and gradually increases the number of retained jobs the company can claim to 27,000. It also set annual limits on the tax credit value that may be claimed in a given year. In a statement, FCA said the revised agreement provides greater economic certainty for all parties.

See FCA, Page B21

www.nanaimodailynews.com

FCA, from Page B20

The Michigan Strategic Fund board approved a similar deal with Ford Motor Co. in June, capping the total value of the auto company’s credits at $2.3 billion. Board President and Chairman Steve Arwood, who also is CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., told reporters he is hopeful that an agreement will be struck with General Motors in December.

“They’re both excellent deals for the state in terms of knowing the liability, the transparency, the additional capital investment,” he said of the Fiat Chrysler and Ford agreements. “They’ve got labour agreements now for the next three or four years. When you look at what these companies have been willing to commit to the state of Michigan, I think it’s just a huge win. To have this settled as we go into the next year is going to be good for us.”

DEARBORN, Mich. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United Auto Workers union started the year with a roar. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ending with a grumble. With Detroit automakers profitable once again, the union promised workers big gains in its new contracts with Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler. At a convention in March, UAW President Dennis Williams raised a fist and proclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our time.â&#x20AC;? But while the contracts completed in the past few weeks contain generous wage increases and profit-sharing, passage was surprisingly difficult. Many dissenters said the leadership failed to win back enough of the painful concessions they made when the automakers were struggling. The divide is a symptom of the fine line the union walks in a global market, trying to improve pay without losing U.S. jobs or making Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automakers uncompetitive with foreign rivals such as Toyota and Nissan. The UAW holds out hope of organizing foreign competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; U.S. plants, so the union touts its willingness to compromise over the hardball tactics of the past. Art Schwartz, a former head of labour relations for GM, says the UAW should have done a better job setting membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are very good contracts,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get everything back. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective bargaining.â&#x20AC;? Gary Walkowicz, a union bargaining committee official and frequent critic of UAW leadership, disagrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was in times that were better weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to recoup some of the losses. This contract does not nearly do that.â&#x20AC;? Fiat Chrysler workers rejected their first contract, forcing the union and company to sweeten the deal before they would ratify it. GM production workers narrowly ratified their contract, but skilled trades workers like pipefitters rejected it; after further negotiations, the union declared it ratified on Friday. Ford workers approved their contract late Friday by a razorthin margin after an eleventh-hour PR push by the union. The contracts promise wage increases for all workers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for some itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first pay hike in a decade. They eliminate a two-tier wage system in the plants and put newer workers on a path to earn the same $29-perhour wage as veteran ones. That adds up to around $60,300 per year, higher than the U.S. median income of $53,657, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the profit-sharing and other bonuses auto workers will get. Ford, for example, will pay out $10,250 per worker in bonuses before the end of this year. But the compromises that irk workers such as Walkowicz are starkly evident. The two-tier wage system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which the union agreed to in 2007 when the companies were near bankruptcy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is eliminated gradually; it will take the newest workers eight years to make what veteran workers make. Workers at some parts plants stay at lower wage rates. See UAW, Page B23

DRIVING B23

Contracts promise increases for autoworkers UAW, from Page B22 The three companies pledged $23 billion in U.S. plant investments over four years, but they’re allowed to move some work to lower-cost countries like Mexico. And while the contracts offer profit-sharing payments, they don’t guarantee the annual raises and costof-living increases that workers used to enjoy. Despite his occasional fiery rhetoric, Williams has said all along that

the union must help the companies remain profitable. That message was partly meant for foreign competitors, which the UAW desperately wants to organize to boost its clout. The UAW currently has 403,000 members, a fraction of the 1.5 million it had at its peak in 1979. Foreign automakers generally match the UAW’s wages but offer less lucrative benefits. Going into this year’s contract talks, Toyota and Honda’s U.S. labour costs were $8 to $9 less per hour than GM and Ford’s.

The new contracts will cost Detroit automakers $400 million to $500 million per year for the next four years, estimates Steve Brown, a senior director at Fitch Ratings. That’s manageable, he says, especially since U.S. auto sales are expected to remain strong. Ford has made $6.6 billion in North America so far this year, while General Motors has made $8.3 billion and FCA has made $5.4 billion. Cost cuts elsewhere should make up for the increased labour costs, Brown said.

Bernie Ricke, the head of a big union local in Ford’s hometown of Dearborn, understands his workers’ frustration when they see those big profits. But he warns them that if U.S. labour gets too expensive, the companies will move production elsewhere. “At the end of the day, if you get $50 an hour but you don’t have a job, it doesn’t mean anything,” he says. Ultimately, the tough negotiations could be a positive for the UAW, says Gary Chaison, a professor of indus-

trial relations at Clark University. They show the union can collaborate with auto companies, win strong wages and accommodate dissent. “They’re saying, ‘We’re not going to ruin prosperity. We’re not going to kill jobs. We might even create jobs,’” Chaison says. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to yourletters@nanaimodailynews.com.
