SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — California gunman Syed Rizwan Farook had been in contact with known Islamic extremists on social media, a U.S. intelligence official said Thursday, and police said he and his wife had enough bullets and bombs to slaughter hundreds when they launched their deadly attack on a holiday party.

The details emerged as investigators tried to determine whether the rampage that left 14 people dead was terrorism, a workplace grudge or some combination.

The husband-and-wife killers were not under FBI scrutiny before the massacre, said a second U.S. official, who likewise was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Wearing black tactical gear and wielding assault rifles, Farook, a 28-year-old county restaurant inspector, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, sprayed as many as 75 rounds into a room at a social service centre for the disabled, where Farook’s co-workers had gathered for a holiday party Wednesday. Farook had attended the event but slipped out and returned in battle dress.

Four hours later and two miles away, the couple died in a furious gunbattle in which they fired 76 rounds, while 23 law officers unleashed about 380, police said.

On Thursday, Police Chief Jarrod Burguan offered a grim inventory that suggests the bloodbath could have been far worse.

At the social service centre, the couple left three rigged-together pipe bombs with a remote-control detonating device that apparently malfunctioned, and they had more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition remaining when police killed them in their rented SUV, Burguan said.

At a family home in the nearby town of Redlands, they had 12 pipe bombs, tools for making more, and over 3,000 additional rounds of ammunition, the chief said. “We don’t know if this was workplace rage or something larger or a combination of both,� Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in Washington, echoing President Barack Obama. “We don’t know the motivation.�

Investigators are trying to determine whether Farook, who was Muslim, became radicalized — and, if so, how — as well as whether he was in contact with any foreign terrorist organization, said the U.S. intelligence official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The same official said Farook had been in touch on social media with extremists who were under FBI scrutiny.

The second U.S. official said the FBI was treating the attack as a potential act of terror but had reached no conclusion that it was.

The official said Farook’s contacts online did not involve any significant players on the agency’s radar and dated back some time, and there was no immediate indication of any surge in communication ahead of the shooting.

The official cautioned that such contact by itself doesn’t mean someone is a terrorist.

Rita Katz, director of SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that tracks and analyzes extremists, said it hasn’t found any connection between Farook and jihadi

groups. But she also said that some of Farook’s social media posts seem to have been deleted before the attack. “There was obviously a mission here. We know that. We do not know why. We don’t know if this was the intended target or if there was something that triggered him to do this immediately,� David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said as the bureau took over the investigation.

Farook has no known criminal record, Burguan said. He was born in Chicago to a Pakistani family, raised in Southern California and worked at San Bernardino County’s Department of Public Health for two stints totalling four years since 2010, according to authorities and acquaintances. The Saudi Embassy said he travelled to Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2014 for nine days.

As for Malik, she came to the U.S. in July 2014 on a Pakistani passport.

They were married on Aug. 16, 2014.

The couple had a six-month-old daughter who they dropped with relatives Wednesday morning before the shooting.

Time to cut the cord?

Is the cellphone poised to make the old-fashioned landline obsolete?

A

new symbol of the generation gap has emerged.

This time the division is not drawn along the lines of music, or hairstyle, but rather on phone technology.

While today’s generation of youngsters see little need to have a telephone plugged into the wall, the baby boomers and their parents, who once relied on pay phones to make a call while away from the home remain loyal to the traditional land line.

“I don’t like electronics,” said Tuija Reynolds, 65.

“I kind of like the phone I have. It picks up any messages Darrell I have. If anyone Bellaart wants to get hold of Reporting me, they can leave a message.”

Carol Evans used a cellphone for business, but got rid of it when she closed the business and retired, nearly 20 years ago. She finds them intrusive.

“If I’m out shopping I don’t want to be bothered,” Evans said. “I find it quite rude when someone answers the phone and you’re out for dinner. I’m quite happy with my land line” In her mid-40s, Gayle Lambert views cellphones differently. Her shared-accommodation home includes a land line.

“We’re getting to the point we’re using our cellphones and we’re thinking of getting rid of our land line,” Lambert said.

If she lived on her own, she imagines she’s use her cellphone only.

“If somebody needs to get hold of me, they know how to get hold of me, with my cellphone,” she said.

Mobile phones are young adults’ first choice.

“Cellphones are convenient,” said Ikuya Fukuhara, a Vancouver Island University business student.

“Land lines are an inconvenience, because you can’t take it outside.”

Nearly 85 per cent of Canadians had cellphones in 2014. [METRO CREATIVE]

Yvonne Mitchell lives with her parents while attending VIU and uses her cellphone to text only.

“But if I move out, I would just get calling added to my (cellphone plan), instead of purchasing a home phone.”

The national trend is toward cellphone ownership.

For the first time, more Canadian households (20.4 per cent) subscribe exclusively to mobile phones than land lines (14.4 per cent), according to a recent study by the national communications regulator.

The same CRTC study also found more mobile phone subscribers in 2014 (84.9 per cent), than land lines (78.9) per cent, adding to speculation around the future demise of the traditional desk or wall phone.

A study done by Loughborough University in the U.K., for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation reinforced the notion traditional wired phones are preferred by the over-50 set, while younger people prefer to go mobile.

According to the study, cellphones were the only telecommunication device used by a third of those aged 16 to 24.

This dropped to 26 per cent in the 25- to 34-year age group.

By comparison, only 13 per cent predicted smartphones would disappear, citing their ability to handle a variety of tasks.

Closer to home, the jury is out on whether land lines will disappear.

Duane Weaver spent 30 years in the technology and telecommunications field before taking on the marketing department chairman role at VIU, and he isn’t sure land lines will disappear entirely.

“I think they’ll continue to exist, but they’ll diminish in use,” Weaver said.

He acknowledged there is a growing trend in favour of mobile communications, for its portability and mobility, but that trend is only true for households, not business.

Smaller businesses can operate using cellphones, especially if it’s a sole owner-owner operator such as a landscape contractor who’s often on the move.

But for a larger company, the advantages of a switchboard to direct callers to specific departments rule out mobile phone as an option.

“We still don’t see multi-line cellphones out there.”

Just one per cent of those over 75 used cellphones only.

Another U.K. study made the bold prediction land lines could soon become obsolete.

While considering the source — British Internet Service Provider Virgin Media — it forecast the disappearance of the land line in the workplace within a few years.

The company based its prediction on a survey of EN 500 chief information offi- OP USE . 4 cers and 65 per cent said HO D EC ish .

There are reliability issues, too, which make land lines a requirement for such institutions as hospitals, police, ambulance and even universities.

“There are some emergency situations where a land line makes sense,” Weaver said.

“Even in a power outage, you can always have service, as long as the lines aren’t down.”

Five decades ago, parents told their children rock and roll wouldn’t stand the test of time, at the height of the generational battle of the 1960s.

Some now say land lines will soon be gone, but Weaver isn’t ready to say a eulogy for the phone technology of the boomer generation.

“Technology changes all the time,” Weaver said. “When it doesn’t solve serious problems, we hang onto the old.”

COMMUNITY COLUMN Vancouver Island

Quiet program adds warmth to Nanaimo cold Kait Burgan Kait’s Corner

I

t was cold last weekend.

Very cold.

The holiday season kicked off in Nanaimo with the Santa Claus Parade and I was dressed up fancy to attend the annual Year End Celebration at work.

We hurried across Commercial Street to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre to get out of the cold. The festivities had ended only moments before and we got rock star parking.

As we stepped on to the sidewalk, just before going inside, I noticed coats wrapped around light posts.

In my peripheral vision, I saw a lady adding what I think was a fourth.

I was in party mode and I wish now that I had taken the time to ask some questions.

There have been several news reports lately from all over Canada about stuff like this. People have been putting mittens and toques in little bags on trees in Courtenay. The same thing has happened in Halifax.

Who’s responsible? No one seems to know, and no one seems to be claiming responsibility.

A handful of warm coats recently emerged on downtown Nanaimo utility poles, free for the taking. [KAIT BURGAN]

The coat looked like it was a quality garment and very close to new, if not actually brand new. I was curious enough, despite the cold outside and the warm party that waited inside, to look at the tag.

It said, “I am not lost. If you are stuck out in the cold, please take me to keep me warm.” There was a little smiley face at the bottom.

I thought it would be easy to get more information later but it turns

out it’s not so easy after all. The same words were written on the bags attached to trees in Courtenay a few weeks ago.

There seems to be a new movement of giving to those in need at a grass roots level. It’s one that doesn’t involve acknowledgement for the giver or accountability from the receiver. The concept is simple.

Some people have more than they need. Others have less.

A friend and colleague who saw the pictures I posted on Facebook of the coats that I saw, connected me with Leon Cake.

Cake ran for city council last time around and was very involved with the many layers of issues at the Colliery dams.

He didn’t take credit for the coats but he thinks it could be connected to his new Facebook group, The Street Store, Nanaimo.

“I’ve been wanting to start a Street Store in Nanaimo for a long time,” he says. “Now that my time is freed up from the dams, we’re starting to make it happen.”

The concept of a Street Store is simple. Members of the community who have more than they need, donate seasonally appropriate items that will be made available to those don’t have enough to get by. The “store” is set up rent free, premises free and no money is exchanged. The homeless, and anyone else who is marginalized in our society, can help themselves.

The first Street Store popped up in Cape Town, South Africa in January of 2014. Today, there have been more than 162 Street Stores in 119 cities all over the world. There are more than 2,200 in progress.

Thanks to Cake and others who are planning to hold the first one in Nanaimo a few weeks from now, we can proudly say that we are part of the growing list.

To find out more, check out the Facebook page, The Street Store, Nanaimo.

Or, simply tie a coat, some mittens or toque to a utility pole, tree, bus shelter or bench. » Kait Burgan is television

MARIJUANA LAWS

Nanaimo waits on federal pot guidance DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay will join Victoria and Vancouver mayors in a call for direction from Ottawa on how to regulate pot dispensaries.

Municipalities want help, until the federal government devises a national regulatory regime. Leading the charge is Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps.

“What happened is I spoke to Lisa because I had read in the media she

was going to be reaching out to federal ministers as to their next steps regarding medical marijuana and dispensaries,” McKay said.

“She advised me she was going to be writing letters to the ministers of safety, health and justice, on a time-line (for regulation).

“She asked me if I wanted to be a signatory to the letter.”

McKay is waiting for a copy of the draft to arrive at city hall this week.

HOLIDAYS

“I have agreed to be a signatory.”

Helps confirmed by text she’s seeking answers from the federal government.

“Yes,” Helps said. “We are working together to try to get some clarity (from) the feds as to what they want cities to do while they’re developing a new regulatory regime.”

Vancouver, Victoria and Port Alberni opted to forge their own regulations. Nanaimo hasn’t.

“It seems foolish to create zoning and regulations for dispensaries, if they’re going to contravene any new rules Ottawa will come out with,” McKay said.

Nanaimo RCMP raided three dispensaries this week.

Kirk Tousaw, a Duncan lawyer who has long advocated for medical-marijuana users will legally represent Trees Dispensary’s Nanaimo outlet.

Tousaw said he will, if the matter

goes forward, fight based on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But Tousaw said the Crown will only proceed if doing so is in the public interest.

“I don’t think it is — and I think most people generally support people having access to medicine that makes their lives better.”

Uncertainty clouds school closure decisions for parents ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

This home at 1675 Meredith Road was part of last year’s Christmas Lights map.

Time to map your Christmas lights AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS

Not every homeowner can compete with the light setup from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, but there are certainly some Nanaimo families giving the Hollywood movie a run for its money.

Last year some of the best light setups in Nanaimo included 921 Cadogan Street, 1675 Meredith Road, and a house near the Jingle Pot and Labieux Road intersection.

Todd Nielsen, who owns a home at 1675 Meredith Road, has been putting up Christmas lights for eight years.

“It’s mostly for the kids. It’s my favourite time of the year,” Nielsen said.

Nielsen, like most Christmas spirited homeowners, started small and eventually grew his decoration setup over the years.

The house features everything from blowup decorations to a custom made light arrow point towards the chimney, a target for Santa.

Every year Nielsen commits eight to 10 hours to setting up the rig.

This is just one example of how festive some Nanaimo residents can be.

The Nanaimo Daily News is putting together its annual Christmas lights map, which will be shared online.

It highlights some of the must-see decorated addresses.

As of now the list has 38 addresses on it, most of which are from last year. We would like to update the list with addresses from this year, but need your help.

If you know the address, or closest intersection to a home that’s spectacularly decorated, email Aaron Hinks at: aaron.hinks@nanaimodailynews.com.

Upcoming school closures in the Nanaimo area have many parents frustrated and concerned.

Parents from both Rutherford Elementary School and Woodlands Secondary School wonder why the decisions were made on Wednesday before plans had been set for their children’s educational future.

Rutherford school has been targeted for closure in June, 2017, but the closing depends on whether the district can access funds from the Ministry of Education for the construction of a new $5.5-million wing at Frank J. Ney Elementary School.

The plan is for most students from Rutherford school to be placed at Frank J. Ney school in the new wing, but the ministry has yet to approve the $2.75 million in funding the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district wants to help pay for the project.

Woodlands school is scheduled to be closed this June, with its students heading mainly to Nanaimo District and Wellington secondary schools next year.

But when the original idea to shut down the aging school was first raised in 2007, the plan was for its students to attend a new high school that would have been built on the NDSS site.

“But there will be no new school for them to go to in September, and no hope that a new high school will be built in the district anytime soon,”

STEVE RAE

said Mary Vassilopoulos, a member of Woodlands’ parents advisory committee.

“While Wellington school has had some upgrades, the fact is that our children will be heading from one old facility to other old facilities. But we’re working to keep our spirits up and are moving forward with plans for our 60th anniversary celebrations in February. We want to go out with a bang.”

Tina Bray, a parent from Rutherford school who is one of the leaders of the fight to keep the facility open, said the school board’s decision to close the school is already causing a lot of stress for families and staff at the school.

She said the ministry has given every indication that it will not approve funding for an “unnecessary addition” at Frank J. Ney school.

“So unless the district plans to come up with (the money) them-

selves, I would expect Rutherford school to stay open,” Bray said.

“The bigger question is how much damage will the district do to our school in the meantime.”

Cedar’s Woodbank Primary School is also set for closure in June, with its students heading to North Cedar Intermediate School in September as the school board tries to deal with declining enrolment across the district and increasing costs.

School board chairman Steve Rae said he understands the parents’ concerns, but the board had determined that the district must make some moves to deal with over-capacity issues before the ministry would consider funding any major projects in the district.

Rae said the ministry has already told district officials there is no funding available at this time for any new capital projects and limited funding for additions and upgrades.

“The ministry told us the best strategy is to close Rutherford school and then present them with a business case for the funding for the wing at Frank J. Ney,” Rae said.

As for Woodlands, Rae said the board felt that if the ministry saw that the district is trying to deal with over-capacity by closing the school, it may help the district access ministry money for a new high school when funding becomes available.

SAFETY

Pedestrians urged to take extra precautions on dark rainy nights DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Cpl. Norm Smith, head of Nanaimo RCMP municipal traffic section urges pedestrians and drivers to use extra care as the days grow shorter.

He wants people to remember lower visibility means greater risk at a time of year when distractions can preclude personal safety precautions.

Privacy regulations prevent BC paramedics disclosing details of a motor vehicle crash downtown late Wednesday afternoon, but witnesses said it looked like a pedestrian was struck near the crosswalk at Nicol Street and Esplanade.

“It must have happened just before I got there,” said Norm Abbey, who lives in the area.

“The victim was already lying on the pavement, surrounded by four or five people. The woman driver was standing there.

“The ambulances started arriving a minute or so later.”

BC Ambulance got the call at 4:28 p.m., and photoss Abbey took show the sky already growing dark.

“This time of year, the big thing

is visibility,” said Smith. “At dusk it’s hard to see at that time of the evening, for drivers. You want to be visible. Have bright coloured clothing, maybe carry a flashlight, or wear anything reflective.”

He said pedestrians should keep a sharp eye on traffic and ensure the driver sees them before crossing the road.

“From a driver’s standpoint, you have no idea what that pedestrian is thinking, so make sure if you can stop, stop.”

No word was available on the pedestrian’s condition.

PM, premiers must match climate talk with resolve W ill the United Nations climate talks that have just opened in Paris succeed in bending Earth’s temperature curve in a healthier direction? Yes, if the world’s big polluters match the targets they have set out with the gritty resolve to follow through.

That makes the conference a potential turning-point in the long push to halt and reverse the global warming that threatens us all.

After earlier efforts in Rio, Kyoto and Copenhagen, a shared sense of urgency appears to be building among the 170 countries that have agreed to table plans to curb greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years. That in itself is encouraging.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pointed out in his brief, upbeat opening address to the UN Conference on

Climate Change, “this mobilization is unprecedented” and it offers a “historic opportunity to build a sustainable economy.”

We’ll no doubt hear more in the throne speech today.

But the positive work Trudeau committed us to will stretch well into the future. That’s because even taken together, the pledges on record in Paris — including Canada’s — will fail to meet the target of holding the rise in Earth’s temperature to 2 degrees Celsius, from the pre-industrial level. The UN estimates we’re headed for a 2.7-degree rise.

If the conference is to be a genuine success, commitments by Canada and other countries to wean ourselves from fossil fuels must be seen as a starting-point, not an end-point.

There should be a review mechanism

to prod countries periodically to set their sights higher — for example at five-year intervals. And there’s got to be careful tracking of countries’ performance and public reporting, to name and shame backsliders.

Mobilizing the Canadian public to accept carbon pricing and other measures will also be part of the challenge, Trudeau acknowledged.

“People want to do more but they want to know that what they’re doing fits in to the bigger picture,” he said.

Shaping that Big Picture focus is part of Paris’ mandate. If the world is to be spared the ravages of melting ice sheets, rising seas, violent weather, floods, famine and drought, we will all have to pull together, effectively.

As Trudeau pointed out, Canada’s premiers have paved the way toward a “pan-Canadian framework” by

taking the initiative in several areas: Quebec and Ontario are embracing cap and trade, British Columbia has a revenue-neutral carbon tax, Alberta has a carbon tax and an emissions cap, and provinces are phasing out coal-fired electricity and investing in carbon capture and storage.

Trudeau has committed to reducing our carbon emissions by 30 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. That’s the same target set by the Conservatives, but the Liberals regard it as “a floor, not a ceiling.” Within 90 days of Paris he plans to host a meeting with the premiers to firm up the carbon-pricing policies and investments that will be required to make good on that pledge, or to better it.

Trudeau is also using Ottawa’s taxing and spending powers to good effect. In Malta he announced Canada

will contribute $2.65 billion over five years to help developing countries reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, doubling our effort. And in Paris he reaffirmed a campaign pledge to invest $300 million in research and development on clean technology.

Canada can indeed be the “purveyor of solutions” that Trudeau envisages.

But he and the premiers must aim high. We need an ambitious national carbon-cutting target, robust carbon pricing and sustained investments in green technologies and conservation.

Our rhetoric and our targets must be matched with resolve.

» YOUR LETTERS // EMAIL: YOURLETTERS@NANAIMODAILYNEWS.COM Trudeau can afford to pay nannies himself Re: ‘PM and wife entitled to support to carry out duties’ (Editorial, Daily News, Dec. 3) I realize that being “entitled to entitlements” has always been a Liberal slogan, but Justin Trudeau was rather quick to jump on the gravy train. One would think that with his highest wage in Parliament, his million dollar inheritance plus all the money he raked in doing speaking tours as a taxpayer-funded MP, he’d have a little more pity on taxpayers.

On top of that, the meagre wages he pays the nannies couldn’t possibly have him “dipping into their savings” for payment.

The editorial claims that “it would be impossible for them to meet public expectations without support” is pure buffalo bagels.

However, I do have a solution.

Having seen a picture of Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau in the hat she wore for the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Malta, she could be appointed as Minister of Hilarious Hats. Her cabinet wage would allow them to at least pay a decent wage to nannies.

Communities must face shelter, hunger issues Re: ‘Biting the root of food insecurity’ (Daily News, Nov. 25) I use and volunteer at Nanaimo’s Loaves and Fishes Food Bank.

For 40-plus years I had worked until a brain injury caused me to retire in 2013 and regroup.

I am only 58.

Politics and government are not the same thing. In the gap are social and shelter hunger issues. For a number of years as an employee

of the friendship centre I referred people to our services and community services as well as the food bank.

I now access these same services and have lived on disability since August.

I agree that thee three levels of government have a lot of issues to address and in the meantime, I depend upon charity and the good will of those able to offer help. My small contribution is to volunteer at the Fry warehouse. Without their support food wise and mental health I would be cast adrift. My family and I are on not on the same page so I depend on myself while re-gaining my health again and then either back to work or more volunteer work.

Yes, it is humbling to ask for help but in our community we are able to ask and be treated with dignity, respect. Building relationships is very important to me as an urban First Nation woman.

Mental health issues are a large issue in our community but those in the food bank line ups get to know one another.

I am not a number, a statistic to be a political pawn. Yes, there is social injustice and shame on this current provincial government.

We need to get to know the hard workers who fill the social gap.

Shame on Graham Riches for even wanting to close all the food banks.

In the meantime, I thank you

Nanaimo Daily News for sparking the conversation. I love to give, learn to receive gratefully and volunteer cheerfully to the great community agencies in Nanaimo.

Man shot by cop says he suffers from PTSD SARAH SIMPSON COWICHAN VALLEY CITIZEN

AROUND THE ISLAND Black Press ◆ PARKSVILLE

Man sentenced on child pornography charges A 55-year-old Parksville man pleaded guilty to possession and distribution of child pornography Monday in Nanaimo provincial court.

Robert Berry has been sentenced to six months in jail with a three-year probation order.

In March, Oceanside RCMP executed a search warrant at a Parksville residence after the Integrated Child Exploitation team alerted Mounties that a man was suspected to be in possession of child pornography.

Berry was subsequently arrested and charged.

◆ SOOKE

RCMP arrest aggressive nude man and woman Three people were arrested Tuesday following a violent altercation with Sooke Mounties behind Western Foods on Sooke Road.

RCMP officers arrived at the scene around 9 p.m. after someone called about a woman screaming in the forested area behind Evergreen Centre.

There, they located a tent with three people in it, one man and two women.

The man and one of the women got out of the tent, nude and intoxicated, refusing to identify themselves and becoming confrontational towards police, said Cpl. Joe Holmes.

One of the women tried to bite, kick, punch and spit on the officers, while the man was trying to fight with police.

Once in handcuffs, the woman suspect continued to resist and attempted to run away. She was soon recaptured.

The suspects, all age 23, were squatters with no fixed address.

Charges are pending.

Monday marked the start of the second week of a former North Cowichan/Duncan Mountie’s retrial in the shooting of an unarmed Chemainus man.

Const. David Pompeo was convicted in February 2013 of aggravated assault in the shooting of William Arthur Gillespie during a traffic stop in September 2009.

In December 2013, Pompeo was sentenced to two years probation and 240 hours of community service.

The Crown had been seeking two years in jail.

In August 2014, Pompeo won an appeal for a new trial.

That retrial kicked off last week and went four days beginning with a hearing to assess the admissibility of evidence and then continuing on with witnesses.

While the witnesses that were called had also appeared in the first trial, different questions and evidence, including photos of the scene not introduced the first time around, led to new testimony for Justice Lisa Mrozinsk to consider.

Included in the first week of testimony was also that of Gillespie himself.

He returned to the stand for a third day on Monday morning and was briefly questioned by Crown attorney Oleh S. Kuzma before cross-examination

by Pompeo’s lawyer Ravi Hira commenced.

Outside of the courtroom Gillespie said he wished the case would be done once and for all.

He’s endured one criminal trial already and a complete civil trial as well.

“I’m hoping not to have to go

through anymore police harassment,” he said.

Gillespie also said he’s suffering from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of that night in 2009 and his other interactions with police over the years.

“PTSD has been really hard on my family,” Gillespie said. “It’s caused a lot of family problems with my marriage.”

The new trial is expected to wrap up in mid December. » We want to hear from you.

COMOX VALLEY

Missing kids found, return uncertain ERIN HALUSCHAK COMOX VALLEY RECORD

Four Comox Valley children allegedly abducted by their father this summer have now been located in the Middle East, according to people close to the family.

In August, Alison Azer received word her ex-husband — Dr. Saren Azer (also known as Salahaddin Mahummudi-Azer) — hadn’t returned to Canada from a court-approved trip to Europe with her children Sharvahn, 11, Rojevahn, 9, Dersim, 7 and Meitan, 3.

Comox Valley RCMP obtained a Canada-wide warrant of arrest for Azer — who practised at St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox — in relation to charges of abduction in contravention of a custody order, contrary to Section 282 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

INTERPOL also lists the children as missing on their website.

Family spokesperson Jody Korchinski confirmed in an email to The Record that Alison does now know the location of her children.

“Alison is tremendously grateful for all the support she has received and the interest people have taken in her story,” she said. “Government (Canadian and Kurdistan Regional Government) efforts are now underway to recover the children, but Saren is refusing to release them. Alison is now counting on the Canadian government to support her.”

Korchinski credits social media efforts and news stories for helping

determine the location of the children.

Prior to locating the children, Alison noted online that Canadian and Kurdish authorities are aware that Saren and the children landed at the Sulaymaniyah airport in Northern Iraq on Aug. 15.

Mounties confirmed the children were legally permitted to leave Canada with Saren, but the warrant was obtained mid-August when he and the children did not return to B.C. by Aug. 22.

Saren, an Iranian Kurd who has

lived in Canada since 1994, has worked for humanitarian efforts in the Kurdistan region of Iraq to provide medical attention to Syrian refugees since 2007.

Missing woman found safe and in good health Ladysmith’s Destiny Raye Williams, 35, has been found.

RCMP confirmed Tuesday that she’d been located “in good health” on the evening of Dec. 1.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council says a young man who was living under the protection of its child-welfare agency has died.

The council did not release the name, age or location of the man’s death in a news release issued Thursday.

Barb McLintock of the BC Coroners Service said the agency was called to a private residence Wednesday morning in Port Alberni, where an 18-year-old man was found dead.

“This death is being investigated,” said McLintock, “but all information is very preliminary at the moment, so we won’t be providing any details at this point.”

The tribal council has confirmed the man was under the care of Usma Family and Child Services.

The Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council website says Usma’s mission is to help parents, families and communities protect their children from abuse and neglect.

“Given the positive relationship we

had developed with the young man, this event has come as a considerable shock to everyone,” the tribal council said in a statement.

“He touched a lot of lives in a positive way and we are grieving his loss.”

The tribal council said it is providing support to the man’s family and others who knew him.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Top administrators jump ship across B.C. JOHN HARDING PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

TED SWABEY

The corner office might as well have a revolving door.

In October of this year, Parksville’s chief administrative officer Fred Manson announced his retirement.

Later that month, the City of Nanaimo accepted the resignation of its top employee, Ted Swabey, who took the CAO’s job in Maple Ridge.

A couple of weeks later, Regional District of Nanaimo CAO Paul Thorkelsson said he was leaving to take the same title in Saanich.

Lantzville town hall, by any measure, has been a mess the past year or two, with town councillors resigning, nasty memos surfacing, by-elections and yes, the resignation of its CAO Twyla Graff in April.

In a seven-month period this year, all the corner offices at town, city and regional district halls in a 30-kilometre radius became vacant.

Allison Habkirk teaches local government courses at the University of Victoria and Capilano College.

A city planner by training, Habkirk also has experience on the political side: she has served as both a councillor and mayor in Central Saanich.

She also works with municipalities on their strategic planning.

Habkirk said it’s normal in a year to see communities trying to fill about 25 of the 162 CAO positions in B.C. This year, it’s more than 40, or roughly 25 per cent of all the CAO positions in the province.

“This suggests, post election (Nov. 2014), there is conflict between the

CAO and the newly-elected councils,” said Habkirk.

She said there are at least two factors that are contributing to all this turnover: elected officials digging more into the day-to-day operations of municipal staff; and the emergence of social media as a forum for harsh critiques.

For roughly 100 years, says Habkirk, Canada has operated under a municipal governance system that could be called the council-manager system. Council was said to have one employee, the CAO. It was up to that CAO — under policy direction from council — to manage the rest of the city’s employees and affairs.

“It was a model that was developed to separate the politician from the administration and operations — there was a lot of corruption,” said Habkirk.

That model seems to be changing in many municipalities, she said.

“In the recent past there have been challenges to that system; councils want to be in the mix,” said Habkirk.

“I’m not sure why that is.

“It’s kind of a dangerous development in my view and it creates a lot of conflict.”

Habkirk also said the advent of social media — there are many blogs and Facebook pages dedicated to events at city halls — has made the life of managers more difficult.

“There’s a level of vitriol that didn’t exist 10-15 years ago and I think that puts a lot of pressure on civil servants,” she said, adding that CAOs don’t feel they can get into back-andforths on social media with critics — because of their codes of conduct and because they really can’t win.

POVERTY

One day this could be you Woman relates how quickly a person can go from food bank volunteer to client CANDACE WU PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

A

lmost anybody can fall victim to food insecurity.

According to Food Banks Canada more than 850,000 people turn to food banks each month, a number that’s been on the rise since 2008.

Food bank clients come from all walks of life, Salvation Army manager Lisa Clason said at the bustling operation one Thursday afternoon as volunteers busied themselves sorting cans and stocking shelves the way you might imagine Santa’s elves would be working the night before Christmas.

Clason said she sees seniors outliving their retirement plan, burly young men who have lost good paying jobs in Alberta, working mothers who can’t make ends meet on minimum wage, homeless people suffering severely from mental health issues and teenagers who have fled home for unknown reasons among the multitude of people who walk through the doors.

Occasionally, people from wealthier ends of town, who have been forced by unforeseen circumstances, will also seek reprieve.

Clason said most people are just one paycheque away from needing their services.

Parksville’s Salvation Army food bank mimics a small grocery store lined with aisles of non-perishable goods: cans of beans, bags of Vector, instant oatmeal, corn, even baby food and dog kibbles.

Clients are given a certain number of points each month (determined by an individual’s situation including how many people live in one household) and encouraged to “shop” the food bank with the help of a Salvation Army volunteer.

At first glance, Ruth Sabourin looks anything but destitute wearing a turquoise Billabong zip-up hoodie bringing out her crystal blue eyes.

The 36-year-old Qualicum Beach woman is seemingly full of life and energy. A year-and-a-half ago she was at the top of her career as a personal trainer. Sabourin ran a fitness business, affectionately called Ruthless Fitness, contracting out to the City of Nanaimo for more than 15 years.

“I was as fit as I could be,” she recalled. “I ran 15 kilometres every morning, taught three core fitness classes a day, did up to 2,000 squats a day and all of a sudden I’m in a wheelchair.”

Sabourin reaches for an army green cane to help her get up. She leans on it for support as she limps along in what looks like great agony.

“I was going to go for a cup of tea one Sunday morning with my grandma and my whole life changed.”

Sabourin got in a head-on collision in August of last year. She was in the passenger seat. She developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome from the accident, a rare neurological disorder often brought on by trauma.

She was in a wheelchair for a year, but in recent months she’s been learning how to walk again.

Every three to five weeks, Sabourin gets injections in her neck and spine.

A woman visits the Salvation Army food bank in French Creek, where she ‘shops’ the shelves with points allocated each month to clients, as a volunteer records some data. [CANDACE WU]

She said the pain is excruciating.

“On the pain scale if you have chronic back pain or a bulged disc in your back it’s classed as a 27 on the pain scale out of 50. What I have is a 47,” she said. “So it’s one of the worst pain disorders you can get.”

CRPS can go into remission, but it will never go away.

Sabourin now receives $650 on Canadian Pension Plan disability benefits, but for five months she went without a single paycheque after the accident.

Still, she managed to get by until last month when an unexpected cost arose.

“Last month my son bought an app on my phone and I hadn’t realized it, and my phone is hooked to PayPal and PayPal was three times a day trying to take $3.49 out of my account and every time they were (my bank) was charging me a $45 NSF (Non Sufficient Funds) fee so when I went to get my pension last month (my bank) had charged me more than $700 in NSF fees so they took my pension away.”

And that was the final straw.

“It was the first time I had to utilize the food bank because I didn’t get my pension,” she said.

Before the accident, Sabourin volunteered with the Salvation Army’s Kettle Campaign, helped organize school toy drives and always donated to charity. Every year, she would find a family in-need in the community and her entire fitness class would contribute to a Christmas hamper she would secretly drop off.

“It took me a long time to swallow my pride and just accept the help because I’ve never had to ask for help.

I’ve worked for major companies since I was 16 years old. I always had a really good paying job,” she said.

“So the fact that I had to ask for help when I was the one doing the helping for so long was really hard to do, but I felt so welcomed and so supported walking into that food bank. Their volunteers are incredible people.”

Sabourin said every month she contemplated going into the food bank and every month she talked herself

out of it. She admits she expected to have a box of unwanted canned goods handed to her and be sent on her way.

“But when I went to the food bank they made me feel amazing like it’s OK to be there. It was incredible. They said I qualify to come every month which made me feel great because I’ve been struggling for over a year . . . Someone can be critical of the food bank, but I tell you, the work those volunteers do to give back to this community is amazing.”

Sabourin has used the services of both the Salvation Army and the Society of Organized Services and she’s eternally grateful for their existence.

“If we didn’t have places like the Salvation Army and SOS what would people do?” she said. “Someone has to do it because you know what, the government isn’t.”

While the accident threw her life off track, Sabourin said it taught her patience, acceptance and how to ask for help.

“You basically have to mourn the person you were,” she said.

CAMPBELL RIVER

AHOUSAHT

Wind, rain and high tides combine to flood the city’s downtown streets

Large-scale logging must end, band says

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

NORA O’MALLEY WESTERLY NEWS

Flooded downtown streets are slowly draining as the high tide recedes in Campbell River.

Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said high tide was at 11 a.m. Thursday, which, along with strong winds and heavy rain made for a perfect storm. It’s a typical high tide at this time of year that typically contributes to flooding in the downtown core, Neufeld said.

“It’s receding and my understanding is the water starts to recede as the tide goes out,” Neufeld said.

“Generally the flooding is pretty localized and pooling water sticks around until the tides recede and then it slowly goes away.”

At the height of the storm Thursday, several roads were blocked off with barriers due to high water.

“There were a few areas — the usual suspect areas that flood every time there’s a combination of heavy rains and high tides,” Neufeld said. “16th Avenue is a repeat offender, if you will, and is usually the first to flood.”

The Ahousaht First Nation has served notice it no longer wants to see large-scale forestry occur within its traditional territory around Clayoquot Sound.

“We must now sit down with all levels of government and find a solution that creates a truly prosperous sustainable future for our people,” stated Hawiih Tlaakiishwia, John Keitlah, in the recent press release.

CEO of Maaqutusiis Hahoulthee Stewardship Society Trevor Jones says a moratorium on industrial logging in the area should come as no surprise to the Crown and industry stakeholders.

“The existing license holders recognize it’s becoming increasingly constraint; very difficult to access larger volumes and larger cut blocks. Really, I think its a natural juncture, if you will, to look at a lighter approach with less focus on volume and more focus on value,” Jones said.

Thinking long term, Jones believes there is an opportunity to create more jobs and a sustainable community through a range of other economic developments, with a particular emphasis on ecotourism.

“We’ve recently opened a hostel and campground on Meares Island called Lone Cone. This would be an example of the type of development the Nation would be looking to replicate in other parts of the Ahousaht.”

He went on to say that plans to build a destination First Nations cultural resort are already underway.

“We’re in the midst of working with some consultants in developing that business plan.

“It’s on land that we already have management access to. It would just be a matter of proving the viability, getting a sense of scale, and then partnering to build it.”

And this time around was no different. Neufeld said 16th Avenue between Ironwood and Walmart was closed due to flooding, as was 12th Avenue between Dogwood and Greenwood.

Portions of Dogwood Street between 14th Avenue and Cedar were also blocked off.

High waters also covered Shoppers Row and Cedar Street near the courthouse.

Neufeld said that with more heavy rain predicted in the weather forecast for this weekend and reaching into next week, Campbell River is “expecting to see more over the next week or two.”

Residents warned to prepare for seasonal rains KATHERINE ENGQVIST GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE

While the last of the fall foliage may be beautiful in an icy puddle or a spot of colour still clinging to a bare branch, those leaves can cause headaches for property owners and municipal crews alike.

While many Vancouver Island residents were lucky and made it through the mid-November rain and

windstorm unscathed, it was still a good reminder for residents to be prepared for fall rains and to check their property’s perimeter drains, even if it doesn’t have a history of flooding.

“Any time there’s a storm coming, people should be checking their drainage,” said Sandra Russell, City of Colwood communications manager.

She said the City has a program in place to regularly check areas

they are responsible for, as well as inspecting problem areas that receive special attention before, during and after stormy weather. During the Nov. 17 storm and afterward, crews worked around the clock to keep the water moving.

“The key for property owners is knowledge,” Russell said. Not only is it important to know if a property has a history of flooding, she explained, knowing where drainage

A number of older homes have downspouts that direct water down into buried drainage tiles along the edge of the house. If the tiles are old, damaged or clogged, it could potentially cause some flooding around a home’s foundation. Ideally, the water should be directed away from a building.

MILL BAY

Road rage at the drive-through nets $750 fine Car’s owner fined after one man follows another from Tim Horton’s, pounds vehicle with sledge hammer MATTHEW ROBINSON VANCOUVER SUN

A Vancouver Island woman is on the hook for $750 in fines after a squabble over space at a Tim Hortons drive-through accelerated into a case of road rage.

The bizarre encounter began around 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 7, 2013, when Christopher Smith decided to grab a coffee in Mill Bay on his way from Victoria to Nanaimo, a B.C. provincial court heard earlier this month.

Smith pulled into a Tim Hortons and steered his Ford F250 long box pickup behind the two vehicles waiting in line ahead of him at the drive through, according to a recent court decision.

Then a third vehicle tried to squeeze in line. The driver of the small car bumped Smith’s front tire then backed off, letting Smith proceed. The driver then bumped Smith’s truck a second time and gestured angrily at him, according to the decision.

Smith said the car might have been a two-door early 90s model Acura Integra, and while he could not make out its colour through all the dirt on it, Smith guessed it might have been brown. Rather than confronting the other driver, Smith grabbed his coffee and proceeded north on the Trans-Canada highway, according to the decision.

A few kilometres down the road, the driver of the small car overtook

Smith, stomped on the brakes a few times then came to a stop on the highway.

The driver, who Smith described as a “scruffy” looking Caucasian man in his early 20s who stood about 5-foot-9 and weighed 165 pounds, jumped out of the car wielding what Smith thought was a sledge hammer.

The man started to pound on the truck with the hammer, smashing Smith’s driver’s side window and headlight, and denting its side and hood. It was then that Smith stomped on the gas, pushing the smaller car off the road and fleeing.

Smith later pulled off the highway and dialled 911.

A witness later came forward to describe a similar version of events.

The witness had also jotted down the licence plate of the small car.

Police repeatedly tried to contact Crystalina David, a Mill Bay resident and owner of a blue 1991 two-door Acura Integra with a licence plate that appeared to match the witness’s statement.

David gave evidence that while her parents might have driven her car from time-to-time, she never let anyone else, including her boyfriend, use the car.

Judge Brenda Edwards said in her decision that David came across in court as defensive and rehearsed.

“I simply did not find her believable.”

While Edwards found David’s car had been used at the time of the road

rage incident, David did not allege the car had been stolen or in anyone else’s possession.

Edwards also wrote that she was satisfied David’s boyfriend matched the general description of the driver, “although I need not determine the identity of the driver for the purposes of this case.”

The judge found David, as the owner of the car, guilty of two counts under the Motor Vehicle Act. Smith was ordered to pay $368 for driving without due care and attention and $368 for failing to remain at the scene of the accident. » We want to hear from you.

Tax ‘educator’ fined for counselling fraud A Victoria “educator” for the Paradigm Education Group has been handed a 14-month conditional sentence for income tax evasion and counselling others to commit fraud.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency, an investigation determined that Richard Cory Stanchfield worked as an “educator” for the Paradigm Education Group and failed to report $224,048 in taxable income from 2003 to 2008, evading $31,012.

During this time, Stanchfield also taught students to follow the Paradigm scheme, counselling them on how to restructure their affairs to avoid paying income tax. In exchange for his teachings, he was compensated with a percentage of each student’s gross income.

“The Canada Revenue Agency warns all Canadians to beware of individuals that try to convince you that Canadians do not have to pay tax on the income they earn,” states information from records of last week’s court proceedings in Vancouver.

“Those individuals, also known as tax protesters, not only fail to report their own earnings, but they also conspire, counsel and promote these tax schemes.

Canadian courts have repeatedly and consistently rejected all arguments made in these tax protester schemes.”

In addition to his conditional sentence, which includes nine months house arrest and 80 hours of community service, Stanchfield was fined $31,012, representing 100 per cent of the federal income tax evaded.

House hit by car, teen girls suspected JACOB ZINN SAANICH NEWS

Some Gordon Head residents had a rude awakening after a silver Hyundai Accent drove through two fences and crashed into a home in the 1500-block of Kenmore Road early Wednesday morning.

Shortly after 3 a.m., police received a call about the late-night accident and responded, along with the Saanich Fire Department and B.C. Ambulance Service.

The crash caused significant structural damage, as the vehicle hit one of the supporting corners of the house.

“Structural integrity is an issue — it was an issue for our firefighters last night,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen with Saanich Police. “That’s why the vehicle has been left in place for fear of pulling it out and causing more damage.”

Jantzen said the occupants of the vehicle appear to be two local teenage girls, who fled the scene of the

accident and were later tracked down by police.

“There was more than one witness that confirmed for us that two people fled the area,” he said, noting police brought out a K-9 officer in their search efforts. “Oddly enough, while this was happening and we were actively searching, one of the parents of one of the occupants contacted the Victoria Police, and that led to one of our officers actually speaking with one young lady (early Wednesday).”

Premier Christy Clark wasted no time rejecting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to reform the Canadian Senate through an independent panel to appoint new senators.

“B.C. will not participate in the process outlined today to appoint senators,” Clark said in a statement released Thursday. “Our position has not changed; the Senate should be fixed or folded but we should not be distracted by it.”

Trudeau delivered this week on a promise to fill the 22 current Senate vacancies via a five-member independent advisory board, starting with five appointments in the new year. Three of the five panel members are to be chosen by Ottawa, with two temporary provincial or territorial members named for each appointment.

“Today’s changes do not address what’s been wrong with the Senate since the beginning,” Clark said. “It has never been designed to represent British Columbians or our interests at the national level.”

B.C.’s objection is that it has always been under-represented, compared to provinces that joined confederation earlier.

Constitutional change would be required to replace a regional formula where Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes and the West have 24 seats

On Tuesday at about 8:40 p.m., police were called to a shooting at Prince Charles Elementary, in the 12400-block of 100 Avenue. When Mounties arrived, they found a 17-year-old suffering from a gunshot to the leg. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say the youth was approached by two males and one shot him in the leg. They are looking for two Caucasian males between 17 and 22, approximately 5 foot 10, wearing dark clothes and their faces covered with scarves.

A man is in custody accused of stabbing a fellow student after a feud boiled over in a classroom at a Vancouver university, police said.

Vancouver police Sgt. Randy Fincham said he expects charges to be laid against a 24-year-old student at Emily Carr University of Art and Design who called 911 to turn himself in Thursday morning.

Another student was stabbed in the face inside a classroom at the fine-art school’s Granville Island campus around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Fincham.

The bustling university holds day and evening classes and sits amid a busy tourist and entertainment hub on Granville Island.

“This was a regular night of classes where other students were at the school as well,” said Fincham.

He was unable to comment on the nature of the dispute between the two students or the attacker’s alleged motive.

“What was said or what happened leading up to last night’s stabbing

certainly will play a role in the investigation,” Fincham added.

The 26-year-old victim was taken to hospital and treated for “minor injuries,” Fincham said, noting “no facial injury or stabbing to the face is that minor of an injury.”

The university cancelled classes on Thursday while police searched for the suspect who had left campus immediately after the attack.

University spokesman Broek Bosma said cancelling classes would “allow faculty, staff and students to gather and discuss and begin the healing process.”

There have been no incidents of violence on campus in recent history, the university said in an earlier news release.

“We don’t have anything on record (and) we’ve been around for 90 years,” said Bosma.

The university was unaware of any complaints about the students involved in Wednesday’s incident, he said, adding it was too early to say what disciplinary action could be taken against the man who allegedly stabbed his fellow student.

Parliament back with a new feel and a whole new look PM says Canadians want to see constructive debates on issues that matter to them JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada’s 42nd Parliament began with the requisite nods to history and tradition that happen on the first day, but also offered plenty of signs that the class of 2015 has its own fresh chemistry and look.

That new energy seemed to be encapsulated in the moment Nova Scotia Liberal MP Geoff Regan was brought up to his seat as the new Speaker of the House of Commons, elected by his peers.

The custom is for the new Speaker to pretend they don’t want the job, and so the party leaders drag him up. This year’s pantomime was particularly light-hearted, Regan’s face contorted in feigned horror, Conservative interim Leader Rona Ambrose yanking one of his arms over her head as she marched forward, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pulling on the other.

Once in the seat, Regan echoed the hopeful sentiment that has been on the lips of so many MPs of all stripes over the years: that the Commons should commit to a new, more collegial culture.

“You have given me a very important responsibility and I will need your support,” Regan said, having beat out Liberal colleagues Yasmin Ratansi and Denis Paradis and Conservative Bruce Stanton for the job.

“I think we need to raise the tone in this chamber and reconstitute goodwill. We have to have respect for one another, despite our differences.”

Trudeau said Canadians want to see constructive debates on issues that matter to them. Also on Thursday,

CRTC uses anti-spam law to take down server

Newly-elected Speaker of the House Geoff Regan delivers his acceptance speech from the speaker’s chair in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

the Liberal government announced a new, theoretically non-partisan process for selecting senators.

“We will work hard to promote more openness across government, we will give Canadians a voice in Ottawa and in this chamber,” Trudeau said.

“This also means greater independence of committees, reforming question period and more free votes.”

Regan’s election precedes the first throne speech by the new Liberal government, to be delivered Friday

by Gov. Gen. David Johnston.

Insiders say the speech will be little more than a list of the govern-

ment’s immediate priorities, with minimal rhetorical flourishes and no surprises.

It’s expected to be a brief recitation of the urgent promises Trudeau intends to move on over the coming year — those aimed at improving the lot of struggling middle-class Canadians foremost among them.

Ambrose, who has repeatedly said that she is committed to bringing a more respectful tone to the Commons, said one day Canadians would come to know this period as the “Great Parliament.”

She promised she would support the government when it’s in the best

interest of Canadians. When it’s not, “Just watch me,” she said with a smile, quoting her Liberal adversary’s father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

The new configuration of the House has a number of new characteristics. For one, there are 30 more seats, with a total of 338 members of Parliament sardined into the room.

The are more visible minorities in the Chamber, up 54 per cent from the last Parliament. And as NDP Leader Tom Mulcair pointed out in his welcome to Regan, a record number of indigenous Canadians — 10 MPs in all.

The CRTC has issued its first warrant under the federal government’s anti-spam legislation to take down a Toronto-based malware server in an attempt to disrupt an international network of infected computers.

The move was part of a co-ordinated effort between Canadian authorities, overseas law enforcement including Interpol and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Microsoft Corp.

The CRTC said the Toronto server acted as a command-and-control point for the Win32/Dorkbot malware, a family of related computer worms that spread through USB keys and instant messenging services and can steal usernames and passwords by watching your online activity.

The agency said it would not name the individuals or companies under investigation in relation to the warrant, and that the RCMP assisted in serving the warrant.

Feds ask court for more time to prepare case KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada must decide if it will grant a six-month extension to the federal government to respond to its landmark ruling on doctor-assisted death.

Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said Thursday Parliament should be given more time to consider all possible responses to the decision.

She also requested any opposing party be required to respond within three days, instead of the traditional 10-day window.

“Physician-assisted dying is a complex and deeply personal issue for Canadians of all ages and back-

grounds,” Wilson-Raybould said in a statement.

“The federal government’s response will affect all of society. That is why we are firmly committed to including

Canadians and taking the time to develop a thoughtful, sensitive and well-informed response.”

The federal government’s request for a delay has been backed by Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan, according to documents filed to the top court.

“The government of Saskatchewan supports such an application and would suggest an extension of a minimum of six months be considered to permit fuller consultation with health care providers and interested parties,” Saskatchewan Heath Minister Dustin Duncan said in a letter.

Last February, the court recognized the right of clearly consenting adults

who are enduring intolerable physical or mental suffering to end their lives with a physician’s help. It also gave Parliament a year to respond to the ruling.

The Liberal government plans to soon set the wheels in motion to begin responding to the decision.

When the Commons sits next week, it intends to work towards establishing a special committee on the issue.

Prior to the election, former justice minister Peter MacKay suggested the government — Conservative or otherwise — would likely need more time to respond.

MacKay insisted a response was necessary due to the legal void created by the ruling.

Quebec will create its own registry for non-restricted firearms, Public Security Minister Pierre Moreau announced Thursday, more than three years after the Conservative government passed a law abolishing the federal long-gun database.

Moreau said every non-registered gun in Quebec will receive a number that will be entered into a provincial database.

All firearm owners will have 12 months to register their weapon after a bill setting up the registry becomes law.

The Conservatives abolished the federal database for non-restricted guns, known as the long-gun registry, in 2012.

Quebec fought the Tories all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada in order to receive the data related to Quebec gun owners but lost.

Suncor pushes bid for rival to January

Man charged in shooting deaths of man, woman

LAUREN KRUGEL THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Oilsands giant Suncor Energy has extended its hostile takeover bid for its smaller peer Canadian Oil Sands until Jan. 8, but it hasn’t sweetened the offer.

The all-stock bid — worth nearly $4.5-billion based on Thursday’s closing share price — was to have expired Friday.

Suncor CEO Steve Williams said in a statement late Thursday the offer launched Oct. 5 remains “full and fair” in light of the worsening outlook for oil prices.

“The pressure is clearly on COS’ board and management to prove they are acting in someone’s interest other than their own,” said Williams.

The Alberta Securities Commission earlier this week allowed COS to keep its new shareholder rights plan, also known as a poison pill, in place until Jan. 4.

Suncor had sought to have the poison pill overturned, while COS wanted to keep it until early February.

A COS adviser has said 25 parties have expressed some degree of interest, but the company has also argued that it’s in strong enough shape to keep going it alone.

COS chairman Donald Lowry urged investors to do nothing.

“Extending the expiry of Suncor’s bid does not change the fact that it is substantially undervalued and opportunistic,” he said in a news release.

At the centre of the Suncor-COS battle is the massive Syncrude oilsands mine north of Fort McMurray, Alta.

Both companies are partners in Syncrude — COS with a 37 per cent stake and Suncor with 12 per cent.

That means if Suncor is successful, it would own just under half of the mine and consolidate its position as Canada’s biggest dominant oilsands player.

Police have arrested and charged a man in the deaths of two people at the end of October in Edmonton.

The bodies of Daniel Andrew Edward Fullerton and Teresa Wilk, who were

both 28, were in a vehicle that was parked on the street in a southwest Edmonton neighbourhood on Oct. 30.

Police say Fullerton and Wilk died as a result of gunshot wounds.

Alberta premier stands firm, argues farm bill is about dignity, basic rights DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley moved Thursday to quell a maelstrom of discontent over her farm safety bill by saying it’s foremost about safety and dignity.

“I will never be able to accept the fact that injuries and deaths caused by workplace accidents (on the farm) are simply a fact of life,” Notley said at a media availability.

“I could not — and cannot in good conscience — and will not ignore the lessons of their losses.

“We will pass this bill this fall.

Those wage-earning farm workers will receive compensation (if injured) and will have the right to refuse unsafe work.”

Notley added that the government

NOTLEY

will talk to farmers in the coming months about how to “tweak the other newly applied rules in a way that respects the family farm, just as has been done in every other province in the country.”

Notley once worked as a Workers’ Compensation Board injury claims lawyer and, in response to a question, agreed that the farm safety bill has special meaning for her.

“It is a little bit personal.”

She said she has long been disturbed that in a province built on the ethos of people helping people, “we somehow have this little exclusion, where paid farm workers, who are often the most vulnerable workers we have, are somehow exempted from the most basic of employment protections.”

It was Notley’s first day back at the legislature following a trip to Paris for the UN-sponsored climate change summit.

There have been several protests and demonstrations by farm groups

over the proposed farm legislation.

The bill calls for injury compensation benefits and occupational health and safety rules for 60,000 farm workers across Alberta. It also introduces workplace standards on commercial aspects of farming as well as the right for workers to bargain collectively.

Farmers, and opposition leaders, have argued the bill is trying to do too much too fast, threatens the viability of family farms and could rip the cultural fabric of rural life.

They are asking Notley to pull it pending further consultation.

The bill remains in the middle of the second stage of debate in the house. The government has sat late into the night in recent days to discuss it.

Terror suspects young as 14 could lose citizenship Australia has enacted laws that enable dual national suspected terrorists to be stripped of their Australian citizenship.

Four days of talks in Paris trim draft agreement by four pages Text brought to conference was already the product of four years of international talks BRUCE CHEADLE THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Four days of negotiations at the two-week-long COP21 conference in Paris have managed to whittle just four pages off the 54-page draft text of a new international climate agreement.

The United Nations sponsored conference got a shot of adrenaline Monday when 150 world leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, showed up for the opening day at the invitation of host French President Francois Hollande.

But the lofty rhetoric and noble intentions have given way to the painstaking minutiae of negotiating the final text of a post-2020 framework for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and for financing mitigation and adaptation measures for a changing climate.

The draft text brought to Paris was already the product of four years of international talks.

Government officials — civil servants — are doing the negotiating this week before the “high level talks” involving foreign ministers and environment ministers take over next week, led by the French government. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna will lead Canada’s negotiating team next week.

“Our mandate this week is to try to reduce the length of this text, try to simplify it, try to find more concise ways to express options — but more importantly, try to reduce the number of options remaining for ministers to negotiate next week,” a

A former Russian military tank commander who was convicted of leading an attack on U.S. forces in Afghanistan was sentenced Thursday to life in prison.

Before the judge handed down his sentence, Hamidullin criticized the U.S presence in Afghanistan and accused the government of targeting him in order to send a message to the Russians. The 55-year-old spoke in Russian through a translator and became animated at times during a rambling, 15-minute speech.

government official said in a background briefing Thursday with Canadian media.

“That’s a big undertaking.”

There’s a general consensus, said the official, that “the progress was a little slow. But you always need a bit of patience in these processes.”

“I don’t think we’re in a bad place in the negotiation at this stage,” the official added.

That’s not the consensus of everyone at the COP21 conference site, where some environmental campaigners are asking negotiators to step up the pace.

“Overall, the text is mostly unchanged from what they were working with going into Paris,” said Tasneem Essop of the World Wildlife Fund.

“Right now, they’re still just rearranging the deck chairs on the ship to get a better view of the iceberg.”

The slow progress isn’t for want of official delegates.

There are more than 250 Canadian delegates at the conference, says the federal government, including representatives of provinces, municipalities, indigenous groups, youth

and environmental non-governmental organizations and Canadian businesses — “the biggest delegation ever.”

Most of those delegates are not in Paris on the federal taxpayers’ dime, but arranged their own transport and accommodations.

The official federal government contingent includes about 20 negotiators and some support staff for media, as well as many embassy staff who are accredited but are at the conference as part of their normal duties, according to Thursday’s background briefing.

Danes voted Thursday to keep a 23-year-old opt-out from justice affairs, hence taking a step away from closer ties with the European Union, meaning it temporarily would end ties with Europol, even as the European law-enforcement agency is preparing to increase its role in fighting terrorism.

Projections on Denmark’s two main television stations based on nearly all votes counted showed 53 per cent wanted to keep the 1992 opt-out.

“Danes are saying yes to co-operation but no to relinquishing more sovereignty to Brussels,” said Kristian Thulesen-Dahl, head of the EU-skeptic, anti-immigration Danish People’s Party.

Pro-EU Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said he now would have talks with European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker aimed at reaching so-called parallel agreements that would allow Denmark to continue co-operation with Europol, among others.

Infrastructure promises face delivery challenges: Officials

Claims refugees refusing relocation called ‘crazy’

JORDAN PRESS THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Federal officials warned the Liberal government last month that its plan to steer billions in unspent infrastructure money directly to cities could run into roadblocks with the very cities and provinces they want to help.

The Liberals want to put any unspent infrastructure money into the gas tax fund, which gives money directly to cities to pay for the roads, highways, bridges, public transit, water and sewer systems that Canadians use every day.

Briefing material provided to Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi says some of the money the Liberals want to move has either already been promised to provinces to use how and when they want, or earmarked for specific projects that have been slow to get started for various reasons, such as weather delays or labour shortages.

Figures provided to Sohi show

that over the last six years, just over one-quarter of the $31.8 billion budgeted for infrastructure programs hasn’t been spent in the years for which it was allocated.

The briefing note says moving the money to the gas tax fund would require a new round of talks with the provinces and territories.

It could also force the sacrifice of spending on projects that could be ready for funding in future years, or cause problems with the contracts the federal government signs with provinces, territories and cities to fund a specific project, officials wrote.

Unlike other unspent federal dollars, known as lapsed spending, infrastructure money doesn’t go back into government coffers, but remains available for other projects. Money that isn’t spent in one year is moved to budgets in future years to pay for projects.

In that sense, the majority of infrastructure funding “does not

truly ‘lapse,”’ officials wrote, and instead is “re-profiled” for future budgets so “no committed infrastructure money is lost.”

The Canadian Press obtained a copy of the briefing note under the Access to Information Act. Much of the note has been redacted, including portions with advice on how the Liberals could proceed with what other departmental documents call an “ambitious” infrastructure program.

The Liberals have promised to increase infrastructure spending by an average of $6 billion per year over the next 10 years, raising the federal investment to $125 billion during that time.

The extra money is supposed to be spread equally to public transit projects, “green” infrastructure like wastewater facilities, and social infrastructure like affordable housing.

Infrastructure Canada would not say how the program would be run.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The idea that there are many refugees who don’t want to come to Canada is “crazy” said federal Immigration Minister John McCallum on Thursday, in response to reports that only a small percentage of Syrian refugees were interested in relocating to this country.

McCallum just returned from visiting a refugee camp in Jordan, where he said there is “huge enthusiasm — a great hunger to come to Canada.”

He was responding to questions about comments his own immigration officials made on Wednesday, which were reported by several Canadian news organizations. The officials reportedly said during an off-the-record briefing

with reporters that fewer than five per cent of people contacted by the United Nations wanted to come to Canada by the end of December.

McCallum suggested there might have been technical problems contacting people in camps, and that some refugees might want to stay out of hope the situation in Syria would improve and they could move back home.

“But there are a huge number of people who want to come,” he said.

“Look at how many went to Germany — almost a million! — The idea that they don’t want to come to Canada is crazy.”

McCallum said that after meeting with the provincial stakeholders he is convinced “Quebec is ready,” adding 13 of the 36 Canadian cities planning to welcome refugees are in Quebec.

U.K. jets join U.S.-led coalition in bombing Islamic State oil sites Even as nations unify to defeat extremists, tensions rise between Russia and Turkey DANICA KIRKA AND JIM HEINTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — As British jets opened airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria and Germany prepared to send troops and aircraft to the region, Russia’s president called on the world Thursday to brandish “one powerful fist” in the fight against terrorism.

Yet even as international efforts to defeat the extremists grew, animosity between Russia and Turkey only intensified.

Hours after Britain’s Parliament authorized military action in Syria, its Tornado warplanes struck oil fields in eastern Syria that help finance IS. “This strikes a very real blow at the oil and the revenue on which the Daesh terrorists depend,” Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC, using the Arabic acronym for IS. Both the U.S.-led coalition and Russian warplanes have struck the extremists’ oil facilities and Russia has drawn heated international attention to the issue by accusing Turkish authorities of profiting from oil trade with IS — allegations Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly denied.

The Russian allegations came after last week’s downing by Turkey of a Russian warplane near the

“The goal . . . is to fight and contain IS, and destroy their safe havens and their ability to lead worldwide terror operations.”

Ursula von der Leyen, German defence minister

Syria-Turkey border. Turkey insists the plane had violated its airspace, but Russia vehemently rejects that contention.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his state-of-the-nation address, accused Turkey of “a treacherous war crime” and bitingly suggested “Allah must have punished Turkey’s ruling clique by depriving it of sense and reason.”

Putin also accused Washington and its allies of turning Iraq, Syria and Libya into a “zone of chaos and anarchy threatening the entire world” by supporting change of regimes in those countries.

“We must leave all arguments and disagreements behind and make one powerful fist, a single anti-terror front, which would work on the basis of international law under the aegis of the United Nations,” Putin said.

Germany on Thursday prepared

to send reconnaissance aircraft to the Middle East as coalition forces stepped up efforts to fight the militants. In all, up to 1,200 German soldiers would be deployed to support the international coalition fighting the Islamic State group.

Two Tornados and a tanker could be sent to Turkey’s Incirlik air base next week if the German Parliament approves the mission Friday as expected.

German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said the mission would have three components: to protect French naval operations, to provide intelligence though reconnaissance aircraft and satellite observation, and to offer logistical support like in-air refuelling for allied planes.

“The goal . . . is to fight and contain IS, and destroy their safe havens and their ability to lead worldwide terror operations,” she told reporters in Berlin before heading to Ankara for talks with her Turkish counterpart.

France welcomed the first British airstrikes in Syria, saying they were a sign of the European solidarity promised after the deadly Nov. 13 attacks on Paris claimed by IS militants.

In a statement Thursday, French President Francois Hollande said the British Parliament’s approval of the airstrikes and the upcoming German vote were a sign that Europeans would stand together after the

attacks that killed 130 people and left hundreds wounded in Paris.

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.

Other European officials also appealed for a joint global response.

Diplomats at an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe conference in Belgrade said Thursday that only a unified front could be effective in countering the threat of terrorism.

German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier described the situation as “too dangerous, and freedom and stability too fragile, for us to counter each other” — an apparent reference to the spat caused by last week’s downing of the Russian plane

by Turkey.

But international cohesion remained elusive as Putin again accused Turkey of profiting from oil trade with IS. “We know who in Turkey are filling their pockets and allowing terrorists to earn money by selling oil stolen from Syria,” Putin said in his state of the union address.

“For that money the bandits are recruiting mercenaries, buying weapons and staging cruel terror attacks aimed against our citizens, as well as citizens of France, Lebanon, Mali and other countries,” he said.

TORONTO — Canada’s six biggest banks saw their profits climb higher over the past year, despite a sluggish economy, a slowdown in consumer borrowing and rock-bottom interest rates, but some analysts are questioning whether the trend will last.

Combined, the six largest lenders — Royal Bank, TD Bank, Scotiabank, the Bank of Montreal, CIBC and National Bank — earned $34.88 billion in net income during fiscal 2015, up almost five per cent from $33.27 billion last year.

The banks raked in a combined $129.79 billion during the past year, up from $124.72 billion in 2014.

Banking analysts have been warning since late last year that the sharp decline in the price of crude could lead to higher loan losses for the banks as oilpatch companies and laid-off workers may struggle to repay their debts.

Concerns have also been swirling that lending growth will slow as overburdened Canadians hesitate to take on more debt, and that low interest rates will put pressure on the banks’ lending margins.

Nonetheless, the banks have continued to report strong, and in some cases record-high, results.

During Royal Bank’s fourth-quarter conference call on Wednesday, CEO David McKay said the bank’s $10.03 billion in net income for the year marks a new record.

The CEO of TD Bank, which wrapped up the earnings parade on Thursday, emphasized that the company is positioned for growth even if oil prices remain depressed and the economy continues to lag.

“We’re adapting to the environment as we have done many, many times before,” Bharat Masrani said during TD’s quarterly conference call, highlighting recent efforts to take costs out of its business.

Slashing costs — for example, by reducing the number of full-time staff and digitizing certain functions such as document processing — was a key theme highlighted by all of the banks as they wrapped up the fiscal year, many of them recording restructuring charges.

Analysts caution that the institutions are increasingly relying on one-time items such as favourable tax gains, legal settlements or the sale of a business to deliver on earnings expectations.

“It wouldn’t be fair to characterize it as a disaster, but the earnings quality is clearly deteriorating,” said Edward Jones analyst Jim Shanahan, calling such one-time gains unsustainable.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Canadian Press ◆ EDMONTON

Alberta MDs concerned pay may be made public Alberta’s doctors are concerned about having details of their pay made public under the province’s expanded salary disclosure legislation.

The Alberta Medical Association has sent a letter to the government stating their objection to Bill 5, the Public Sector Compensation Transparency Act. The bill — introduced last month — requires the disclosure of highend salaries for all employees of public sector bodies, including Alberta Health Services and post-secondary institutions.

Dr. Carl Nohr, the association’s president, says in the letter that publicizing members’ salaries will not give the public an accurate picture of doctors’ incomes because it won’t take into account their high operating costs. Nohr also says revealing the information could lead to unintended consequences.

Conservation officer killer appeals conviction A man who was sent to prison after he pleaded guilty in the death of a Saskatchewan conservation officer is appealing his sentence.

Blaine Taypotat was sentenced last June to 9 1/2 years for manslaughter and impaired driving causing death.

Court heard that Taypotat was drunk and speeding when he struck and killed Justin Knackstedt on Highway 11 between Regina and Saskatoon in May 2013.

Knackstedt had stopped to help police direct traffic at a crash scene.

The sentencing judge said it was true that Taypotat showed remorse, but he had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit and fled after he hit Knackstedt.

Taypotat’s appeal is scheduled for next Thursday at the Court of Appeal in Regina.

He admitted to causing the deaths but his lawyer argued the jury should find him not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder.

The jurors began their deliberations Monday afternoon and can reach one of four possible verdicts: not criminally responsible or guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter.

They have since been heard from twice: on Tuesday they wanted a copy of an article from the Criminal Code and on Wednesday they asked to listen again to the testimony of Crown psychiatrist Pierre Bleau.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A young woman from Newfoundland and Labrador is getting flowers, support and thousands of positive messages for turning a case of online bullying into what her mother calls “something beautiful.”

Lynelle Cantwell, a grade 12 student at Holy Trinity High School outside St. John’s, was named in a poll posted on the website ask.fm called ‘Ugliest Girls in Grade 12.’

Cantwell said she learned about the poll on Tuesday during a math class.

She said she, along other girls named in the poll, were initially upset and angry.

“It tore me apart on the inside a little bit,” she said in an interview from her home in Torbay.

Later that day, Cantwell took to social media with a message on Facebook directed at the anonymous bullies.

“I’m sorry that your life is so miserable that you have to try to bring others down,” she wrote.

“I’m funny, nice, kind, down to earth, not judgemental, accepting, helpful and I’m super easy to talk to,” she added. “That’s the same for every other girl on that list that you all put down.

“Just because we don’t look perfect on the outside does not mean we are ugly.”

The post went viral and has been shared more than 2,500 times as of Thursday afternoon.

“I’m extremely proud of her,” said Lynelle’s mother, Brenda Cantwell.

“She’s taken an ugly situation and turned it into something beautiful.”

Cantwell said she’s been overwhelmed by the response, which has included messages from as far away as Alberta. She even had flowers sent to her door.

“It’s all been so positive,” she said. “It’s been amazing . . . There’s

people messaging me telling me I’m beautiful, telling me that I’m an inspiration.”

Cantwell said she feels badly for not only the poll’s creators, but also for the handful of people who voted on it.

“I know that sometimes when you do stuff like this to people it’s because you are either not confident in yourself or you have a bad home life,” she said.

“I’d probably tell them if they need help with anything, with any confidence, that I’m there for them.”

Cantwell said there have been other incidents at her school involving disparaging online polls, and said school officials are trying to address the issue. She said she’d recommend taking the high road to anyone being bullied online.

“Don’t keep it bundled inside, but be mature about it,” she said. “Always keep the high route and don’t sink to the bully’s standards.”

Girl, 8, detained, questioned by cops over false claim she had chemicals; family sues MICHELLE R. SMITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A third-grader was taken off a school bus and questioned by police because another girl falsely reported the girl had chemicals in her backpack, her family said in a lawsuit Thursday.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island, which filed the federal lawsuit against the town of Tiverton, compared the case to that of a Texas teenager who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school in September. The group said such actions terrorize and traumatize children.

The family’s lawyer, Amato DeLuca, said police essentially arrested the girl with no evidence.

They had already searched her backpack and found nothing when school officials allowed them to put her in the back of a police cruiser and take her alone to the police department, where she was questioned, he said.

“What we’ve stooped to in the name of public safety is arresting third-graders,” he said.

“It’s so un-American. It’s so police state. It’s so Gestapo. I never thought we’d do things like that here.”

Town Administrator Matthew

Wojcik said he had not yet seen the lawsuit, and was still conducting an internal investigation.

“I’m a little disappointed, because I think there are other solutions,” he said. He declined to comment further.

The child is identified in the lawsuit only by the initials J.A. Her parents, Lisa and Peter Andromalos, are also suing.

After the bus left school, one of the other girls then reported to a bus monitor that J.A. and her friend had chemicals in their backpacks. The bus driver stopped the bus and called police.

WASHINGTON — After three years of study and debate, Defence Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military Thursday to open all military jobs to women, removing the final barriers that kept women from serving in combat, including the most dangerous and grueling commando posts.

His landmark decision rebuffed requests by the Marine Corps to exclude women from certain infantry and combat jobs and signalled a formal recognition that thousands of women served, and many were wounded or killed, in the last 14 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We are a joint force, and I have decided to make a decision which applies to the entire force,” Carter told a news conference.

But he acknowledged some concerns. “Implementation won’t happen overnight. And while at the end of the day this will make us a better and stronger force, there still will be problems to fix and challenges to overcome. We shouldn’t diminish that.”

Carter said the military can no longer afford to exclude half the population from high-risk military posts.

He said that any man or woman who meets the standards should be able to serve, and he gave the armed services 30 days to submit plans to make the historic change.

Carter’s order opens the final 10 per cent of military positions to women — a total of about 220,000 jobs. And it allows them to serve in the most demanding and difficult jobs, including as special operations forces, such as the Army Delta units and Navy SEALs. U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., one of the first Army women to fly combat missions in the 2003-2011 Iraq war, welcomed the decision.

“I didn’t lose my legs in a bar fight — of course women can serve in combat,” said Duckworth, whose helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

“This decision is long overdue.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona and head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Congress will review the data and the decision.

A spokeswoman for the Marines, Maj. Christian Devine, said in a statement that the corps will begin immediately to implement the change, but will maintain the standards of the force while also working to “optimize individual performance.”

Carter has hinted at this decision for months, telling U.S. troops in Sicily in October that limiting his search for qualified military candidates to just half the population would be “crazy.”

The Stars won 4-2. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Canucks fall to Stars in fourth straight loss JASON BOTCHFORD THE PROVINCE

T

hink, for a moment, what this Canucks team would look like if it had a second line. A real one.

What if this group had a Ryan Johansen? A Ryan O’Reilly? A Matt Duchene? An Eric Staal?

Could they compete in the Western Conference? Could they win a playoff round? Could they at least make the playoffs?

Because that’s the kind of player it would take to make a difference.

You know what? Scratch those thoughts. The defence still wouldn’t be good enough. Not with the way Dan Hamhuis is playing these days.

Still, it’s going to be lamentable if the Sedins keep playing like they’ve been playing and the Canucks don’t make the playoffs. The Sedins deserve better than a team on pace for 80-something points. They’ve been everything you could have hoped for this year. The Canucks still need more from them.

That’s because, it’s all on them.

Everything. Every win. Every power play. Every third period. Even, every overtime. On Thursday, they did not disappoint. The Sedins combined for a couple of goals to keep the Canucks in a game they had no business being in. When it looked its bleakest, early in the third, they finally got a a little payback, too. After a series of defensive blunders which had cost the Canucks a string of points for weeks, they got a chance to exploit one of their own.

With his team in total control, Alex Goligoski passed a puck directly to Henrik Sedin. Henrik swung the

puck to Jannik Hansen and a swift backhand later it was a 2-2 game.

The Sedins had dragged their team into a game, yet again. But Vancouver couldn’t hold it. Dan Hamhuis watched, and that’s not a figure of speech, Patrick Sharp fly by him, scoring the game winner with six minutes left. The Stars won 4-2.

It was so close to being offside. But it wasn’t.

Really, the Canucks were outclassed. This shouldn’t be surprising. The Dallas Stars come at you in waves of speed and skill. If it’s not Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin shredding you, it’s Jason Spezza.

And if it’s not Spezza these days, it’s Valeri Nichushkin, the prospect the Canucks passed on to draft Bo Horvat. The Canucks can’t come close to that kind of skill. They can’t even find a second line.

IN A WORD WEAK SAUCE: If you squinted, the first Dallas goal looked like Valeri

Nichushkin was carrying Dan Hamhuis in a Baby Bjorn on his back.

Hamhuis looked helpless to stop him, and it hasn’t been an uncommon occurrence this season.

PUSHBACK: Criticized for days for lack of pushback, Derek Dorsett took it upon himself to fight Dallas troll Antoine Roussel. He filled Roussel’s face even though the Star never took his gloves off. Somehow, they got matching penalties.

COMEBACK: It was the return of Ronalds Kenins, the scrappy forward who briefly lit Vancouver up last season with his forechecking and big hits. He faded late last year and disappeared to start this season. He didn’t get off to a great start with a boarding penalty.

WHAT WE LEARNED So general manager Jim Benning wants more scoring. He has suggested several times this week that if he’s going to make a trade, it’s going to be for a forward who can help with secondary scoring.

The problem is that the Canucks have a lot of good young forwards who will be scoring soon enough.

They don’t have a lot of good young defencemen. If you’re going to move assets, and the Canucks will, doesn’t it make more sense to trade for the blue-line.

WHAT THIS MEANS The blue-line is going to get better.

Ben Hutton is expected back and it could be as soon as Saturday.

But Hutton is not going to fix all that ails the Canucks’ back end.

There is just no way right now to put together a really good top four.

The Canucks have one pairing, in Alex Edler and Chris Tanev. They are very good together, despite what you think about Edler’s more memorable turnovers.

After that, there are some pretty significant holes. Really, the biggest issue is surrounding Dan Hamhuis.

The man they call “Hammer” has fallen off dramatically this season.

It’s hard to imagine in 2014 he was on Team Canada at the Olympics.

He can no longer carry a second pairing, which means others need to pick up the slack. There’s just one big problem here. The Canucks don’t have anyone who can do that.

Maybe it can be Hutton at some point, but he’s not there yet.

ADVANCED STATS 51%: This is the Canucks’ score-adjusted, even-strength, shot-attempt differential. It ranks 12th in the league. Last year, Vancouver was 18th with a Corsi percentage of 50.2 per cent. They’re actually a better possession team this year.

23rd: This is where the Canucks’ penalty-killing unit ranks. Last year, they were second in the league. If you’re looking for the biggest difference between last year and this one, start here.

29.2: The number of shots the Canucks average per 60 minutes played at even strength. Last year, the team averaged 30.8. It suggests the Canucks could do a better job of getting shots on net with their zone time.

Minus-9: This was Dan Hamhuis’s Corsi through the first two periods.

Hamhuis was on the ice for nine more shot attempts against than shot attempts for.

TORONTO — New team president Mark Shapiro is turning to a close friend to fill the Toronto Blue Jays’ general manager position.

Longtime Cleveland Indians executive Ross Atkins was named GM and executive vice-president of baseball operations on Thursday. Atkins most recently served as the Indians’ vice-president of player personnel under Shapiro.

Assistant general manager Tony LaCava, who served as interim GM after the departure of Alex Anthopoulos, has been promoted to senior vice-president of baseball operations, the team also said in a release.

Shapiro and Atkins will hold a media availability Friday morning at Rogers Centre.

Shapiro, a former general manager with Cleveland, became Toronto’s new president last month. He succeeded Paul Beeston, who retired at the end of October.

Atkins, a 42-year-old native of Greensboro, N.C., will be the seventh general manager in franchise history. The former pitcher was drafted

by Cleveland in 1995 and spent his entire pro career with the Indians organization.

After a five-season playing career in the minor leagues, Atkins started working with the team’s pitching prospects before becoming the assistant farm director in 2001.

He worked as the club’s director of Latin American operations for three years and ran the farm system from 2007-’14.

He interviewed in the past for GM openings in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

The 81-80 Indians finished third in the American League Central last season while the 93-69 Blue Jays won the East and made their first playoff appearance in 22 years.

Toronto advanced to the American League Championship Series before falling to the Kansas City Royals in six games.

A few days after Toronto was eliminated, Anthopoulos stunned many baseball observers by declining to sign a new contract to remain as GM. He was named executive of the year on the day he announced his decision.

Anthopoulos turned down a fiveyear extension amid reports of a difference in vision with the new president.

The 38-year-old Montreal native would only say he didn’t feel like it would be the right fit, adding it was his choice to leave.

VANCOUVER — Having a little trouble with that Christmas list, particularly with the soccer fans who might be on it?

Victor Montagliani thinks he can help you out.

He might not ride a sleigh, have a white beard or wear a red suit — although, come to think of it, that colour would be an appropriate fit for the Canada Soccer boss. But he was playing Santa on Thursday, confirming Canada will play Mexico in a men’s World Cup qualifier at B.C. Place Stadium in March with tickets going on sale Dec. 15. A special pre-sale window for past supporters begins Tuesday.

“Absolutely,” said Montagliani when asked if ducats to the March 25 game would make a nice gift to put under someone’s tree.

Indeed, in that sense, the timing was perfect for the expected announcement, one even Montagliani admitted was a “no-brainer” after a crowd of 20,000plus at BC Place watched Canada defeat Honduras 1-0 on Nov. 13 in the opening game of the current CONCACAF qualifying stage.

It was the first game in Vancouver for the men’s national team in 11 years.

“Vancouver has always been a premier soccer city, going back to the ‘60s when touring (international teams) were here,” said Montagliani. “And the city showed its true colours again.

“Even before the game was played, the (training) camp was good and the players enjoyed the city. Getting the three points, having the great crowd, it led to pretty much a no-brainer (to put the Mexico game in the same venue).”

Mexico sits atop the four-country Group A with six points off wins over El Salvador and Honduras. Canada, which also earned a 0-0 draw in El Salvador last month, is second. The two best teams in each of the three groups advance to a final round of qualifying, called “the Hex,” with the top three getting berths in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The fourth-place team takes on an Asian team in a two-game playoff for another World Cup spot.

Montagliani said that, initially, tickets will be sold for the 27,000-seat lower bowl. But he suspects that because of the importance of the match and the opposition — Mexico is the top country in CONCACAF — “the upper bowl will be required as well.”

“Mexico played a friendly in Seattle a few years ago against China and the crowd was 67,000 or something and 66 (thousand) of that was Mexican fans.

So it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see a sellout.”

Actually, there were only 56,416 in what was then called Qwest Field, but it was a strongly pro-Mexico crowd decked out in the green, red and white of “El Tri.” Canada last played Mexico in Seattle in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, losing that one 2-0. Mexico was last in Canada in 2008, when a 2010 World Cup qualifier at Edmonton ended in a 2-2 draw.

Canada beat Mexico in 2000, edging El Tri 2-1 in San Diego, Calif., en route to capturing the Gold Cup. “They’ve been the class of football in CONCACAF for a number of years now and we know that,” says Canadian defender Adam Straith, who grew up in Burnaby and Victoria. “But at the same time, we know they’ve had troubles away from home anywhere north of California. They just haven’t done as well.

“We haven’t lost a game in Canada for a number of years now … and there’s a bit more of a belief now. There’s more of a positive vibe around this team and we can feed off that.”

After sinking as low as 122nd in the FIFA world rankings, Canada now has risen to 88th while building a 6-1-5 record over its last 12 games. Mexico, which is ranked No. 22, will play host to Canada on March 29 at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The final group stage games will be played in September of next year, with Canada visiting Honduras and El Salvador coming to this country.

Straith, who had 55 friends and family in the crowd for the Honduras game, said he’s delighted to get another chance to play at BC Place.

“From the moment we heard about that game last month, it was a day that was circled on my calendar. Now, I get to that again.

“Me being a local boy, from the area, it was so special to be part of a big game here.”

Straith, 25, played for Fredrikstad in Norway last season after six years in Germany, and he’ll return there in January for pre-season training.

draft pick. But it didn’t hurt that the arena was full of Canadian fans.

“It was a lot of red jerseys,” Foligno said. “We knew it was in Buffalo and it was on American soil, but being part of Team Canada, we had a lot of Canadian fans and they showed their support big time.”

Canadian fans will get that chance again in 2018 when the world juniors return to Buffalo.

BCHL

Clippers off to P.G. without Owen Hardy Sixteen-year-old rookie signed a standard player agreement with Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants BCHL rules state each team must carry at least two 16 or 17-year-olds on their 22-man roster, but teams can stay with 21 players and have one player that age. Back-up goalie Jakob Walter, 16, takes up one spot and Vandekamp said the Clippers will go with 21 players, “for now.”

Matthew Kowalski, a 16-year-old Clippers affiliate, could be an option as he is currently second in B.C. major midget scoring playing with the Okanagan Rockets with 16 goals and 20 assists in 20 games.

The Clippers have until Jan. 10, the trade deadline for all Canadian junior hockey teams, to finalize their roster.

A

s the Nanaimo Clippers arrived in Prince George last night ahead of tonight’s B.C. Hockey League battle with the Spruce Kings, they did so without rookie Owen Hardy.

Instead, the 16-year-old Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association product was in the Lower Mainland with his new team, the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants.

Hardy joined the Giants and fellow Nanaimo player Chase Lang in Vancouver on Wednesday as they beat the Medicine Hat Tigers 6-0 after he signed a standard player agreement.

Hardy was drafted by the Giants in the second round of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. He spent last year in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the North Island Silvertips before committing to the Clippers in the spring.

Asked to comment on the move, Clippers head coach and general manager Mike Vandekamp declined.

But Hardy, who had one goal in 25 BCHL games in a limited role this year, said it was the right move for him and his career to move up to the WHL. “I just had to do what I thought was best for me to reach my goals,” Hardy said Thursday.

“It’s always hard to say goodbye to your teammates, but I know I had to do it, and I’m happy I did.”

Hardy was approached by the

Giants this week and decided to sign on Tuesday.

“He’s been both a leader and a point producer in minor hockey, and we hope he can continue to develop and achieve his goals with our program,” Giants GM Scott Bonner said of Hardy in a press release.

Hardy played on the fourth line with the Giants in his debut Wednesday and said it was a fun experience playing his first game of major junior hockey.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY

“I just took it as a normal hockey game,” he said. “You can’t really overthink anything. You just have to play your game to the best of your ability . . . It wasn’t a huge adjustment. Everybody on the team was great and they really made me feel part of the team.”

The Giants are in Victoria to play the Royals on Dec. 12 and Dec. 13.

The Clippers, meanwhile, now have a hole to fill in the roster with Hardy’s departure.

GOALIE PROBLEM SOLVED The Clippers solved their goaltender situation, trading their original starting goalie Jonathan Reinhart, 19, to the Brooks Bandits of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for 19-year-old defenceman Taylor Karel.

Reinhart was brought to the team in the summer to be the starter, but Vandekamp later signed Evan Johnson from Medicine Hat to see who was best fit for the No. 1 job in the Clippers’ crease.

With Reinhart gone, Johnson has won that job. Walter remains as the back-up.

“That was kind of our goal, to get down to two goalies and add a defenceman, so we were able to do that,” Vandekamp said.

Karel is a six-foot-four, 215-pound stay-at-home defenceman out of

Eagan, Minn., who had a goal and five assists in 19 games this season with Brooks.

Vandekamp said he brings multiple attributes his team was searching for in the trade market.

“He’s a right-handed shot, which we were looking for,” Vandekamp said. “He’s big, which we were looking for. He’s focuses on being a defensive type of defenceman, which is also what we were looking for.

“Hopefully he can keep imrpoving his game and develop into a really good physical type of defenceman.”

ANOTHER THREE-IN-THREE Tonight in Prince George, the Clippers begin another three-day, threegame road trip and they do so already on a six-game win streak with their last three wins coming on the road.

But their records on road trips such as this one aren’t flattering at 1-4-0-1.

Vandekamp said this trip, which also sees the Clippers play the Chilliwack Chiefs on Saturday and the Surrey Eagles on Sunday, will be a good test to see if his team has truly turned a corner this season.

“We’ve been playing better lately,” he said. “It’s a good time for this test.

I think it’s going to say a lot about whether we’ve taken the next step or not, and we’ll find that out this weekend.”

How to win in New England: Eagles’ QB Sanchez explains ZACH BERMAN THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

T Green Bay Packers tight end Richard Rodgers (82) reaches to catch the game winning pass on the last play of a game against the Detroit Lions on Thursday in Detroit. [AP PHOTO]

Packers beat Lions with late Hail Mary LARRY LAGE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Aaron Rodgers took the shotgun snap on an untimed down with no time left, shuffled to his left, slipped a sack, rolled right and heaved a pass that seemed as high as it was long.

Richard Rodgers, drifting toward the end zone while teammates and opponents crowded behind him, leaped and made the catch on the 61-yard play to give the Green Bay Packers a stunning 27-23 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

“I knew I was going to have to buy some time to allow them to get into the end zone,” Aaron Rodgers said.

“I knew once I got outside the right that I was going to be able to set up and throw.”

The Packers got the untimed down after Detroit defensive end Devin Taylor was called for grabbing Aaron Rodgers’ facemask on a tackle on what would’ve been the last play.

The Packers (8-4) had lost four of five.

“Unfortunately, this counts as one win,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “It feels like more.”

The Lions (4-8) had won three straight and blew a chance to sweep the season series for the first time since 1991.

“Tough one to lose,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “Those are the ones that eat at you. The guys are upset because they gave so much, but we needed one more play. It is never over in this league.”

Matthew Stafford connected with Calvin Johnson on his second touchdown pass of the first quarter to help Detroit build a 20-point lead that it couldn’t keep.

“Not an easy pill to swallow,” Stafford said.

Aaron Rodgers scored on a 17-yard run with 3:04 left, pulling the Packers within two points.

Stafford connected with TJ Jones to convert a third-and-12 from the

Detroit 18 after Green Bay called its final timeout with 2:54 to go. The Lions needed one more first down to seal the victory, but Green Bay forced them to punt and got the ball back on the 21 with 23 seconds left.

Following two incompletions, including one in which Detroit appeared to get away with pass interference, Aaron Rodgers threw a pass to James Jones and the ball was lateraled twice, leaving the quarterback with the ball and no one behind him to pitch to keep the play alive.

But Taylor grabbed Aaron Rodgers’ facemask, giving the Packers another play.

“I wasn’t able to get away from those guys, but luckily my facemask was grabbed,” the QB said.

Richard Rodgers Sr. had to be proud of his son’s winning catch on the all-University of California connection. The elder Rodgers threw two laterals on the final play of the Cal-Stanford in 1982, when the game ended with the Cardinal band on the field and the Bears winning 25-20 in 1982.

Aaron Rodgers scrambled long enough to give his receivers time to sprint to the end zone and got to the outside.

He planted his foot at about the Green Bay 36 and got it into the end zone, where his tight end found a way to get to it in front of a slew of players from both teams and leaped for the catch.

“I’ve never had a completed Hail Mary before,” Aaron Rodgers said.

He has now much to Caldwell’s chagrin.

“We weren’t in a position to get our hands on it,” Caldwell lamented.

Aaron Rodgers finished 24 of 36 for 289 yards with two touchdowns.

Stafford was 23 of 35 for 220 yards and two scores.

Detroit went ahead 17-0 after its first three drives and capped the opening possession of the third quarter with a field goal to go ahead 20-0.

It wasn’t a big enough cushion.

he New England Patriots have lost only six home games in the last six seasons, so there aren’t many quarterbacks in the NFL who know what it’s like to leave Gillette Stadium with a victory.

Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez is one of them.

Sanchez lost four regular-season games with the New York Jets in Foxborough, Mass., but he was the winning quarterback against the Patriots in the second round of the playoffs on Jan. 16, 2011.

Sanchez is expected to be the Eagles’ No. 2 quarterback Sunday when the Patriots host the Eagles.

His time in the AFC East gave him healthy respect for New England, and that playoff victory gave him a unique perspective.

“The margin for error in this game in general, but especially when you play there versus that team, you can’t mess with it,” Sanchez said. “You’re just playing with fire. It’s a tough place to play. Fun, great atmosphere, but they’re really, really good.”

Sanchez’s guide to winning in New England starts with turnover differential and special teams. Each yard is precious when playing a Bill Belichick-coached team.

“I’ve only won one time up there,” Sanchez said. “You need at least one turnover from them. You can’t give the ball away. Your special teams has to be lights out — field position, no blocked punts, no blocked field goals, no missed extra points. One hundred percent, those come back to bite you.

They live for that. And you need to get one — you need to get one turnover. Obviously more is great. But you cannot give it up.”

Four teams in six seasons have won there when turning the ball over,

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez. [AP PHOTO]

but only two teams have won when they were not ahead in turnover differential.

Sanchez also mentioned end-ofthe-half scenarios, when the Patriots have a habit of finding important points.

“What they’re really, really good at is before the half — going down and scoring or getting a field goal in a two-minute drill before the half,” Sanchez said. “. . . It’s almost like a point where before the half, when you’re in your two-minute drill, if you get to third down and it’s third and 10 and you’re still back on your own 20, don’t even mess with it. Run the ball. Waste the time, run the ball, don’t even try for an incompletion.

“Take a sack, make them use a timeout. Because you don’t want to

give them the ball back.”

The Patriots have scored a touchdown in the final minute of the first half in three of six home games this season. Since 2010, they have scored in the final two minutes of the first half of 23 home victories in the regular season and playoffs.

Sanchez also mentioned penalties.

In the playoff game that the Jets won, 28-21, with Sanchez, they committed only three penalties and did not turn the ball over. That’s a big reason Sanchez can talk about winning in Foxborough.

“It’s got to be mistake-free,” Sanchez said.

“You can’t have penalties. You have to win the penalty battle. False starts, roughing the passer, stuff like that?

No room for that.

“No room.”

Seahawks move Shead to corner TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — In a roundabout way, DeShawn Shead is back where he always wanted to be.

When Shead entered the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Portland State it was easier for him to learn the responsibilities and techniques of a cornerback. But his size made him a perfect option to also be a safety in Seattle’s system.

After being bounced between the two spots, Shead may have finally found his spot as Seattle’s starting right cornerback for now.

“A couple of years ago when I came in I would probably say I would prefer corner because that’s what I was familiar with but as time went by and I had a lot more reps at safety and lot more experience at safety now it doesn’t matter to me,” Shead said. “It doesn’t matter whether I’m at corner or I’m at safety as long as I’m on the

“It doesn’t matter whether I’m at corner or I’m at safety . . . “ DeShawn Shead, Seahawks

field to try and make an impact for this team.”

Shead is expected to make his second straight start at cornerback on Sunday when the Seahawks travel to Minnesota. Shead took over in place of Cary Williams midway through Seattle’s win over San Francisco two weeks ago and made his second career start at cornerback last week against Pittsburgh.

And it was quite the indoctrination.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 456 yards against Seattle, the most ever allowed by the Seahawks. Shead was matched up on Martavis Bryant, Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton. And the consensus

afterward was even with the massive yards put up by the Steelers, Shead more than held his own.

“Just to see him go out there and shine like that, it’s just giving me confidence in him,” Seattle safety Earl Thomas said. “Playing at middle field, you have to trust both of your corners, because they’re asked to do a lot. He held up. He made some big, big plays.”

When training camp began, Shead was one of Seattle’s options at safety with starting strong safety Kam Chancellor holding out.

Shead started in Week 2 at strong safety before Chancellor’s return, giving Seattle the flexibility to start moving Shead around in the secondary.

But making the move permanently to cornerback didn’t take hold until two weeks ago. With Williams struggling, Seattle turned to Shead to step in and play opposite Richard Sherman.

NBA

Curry is the greatest show of our time as Warriors continue on a roll TIM KAWAKAMI SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

T

he Stephen Curry Revolution is happening every game, but not just in arenas and not measured only by the NBA standings or record book.

This is a night-by-night worldwide sports epiphany, witnessed by everybody great or small who can’t resist tuning into the greatest show of our time.

“To me, my hero, other than Michael Jordan, growing up was Isiah Thomas,” said two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash.

“But in some ways I wish I was a 13-year-old starting to play basketball for the first time so I could grow up watching (Curry) play and emulating him. That’d be pretty powerful.

“You know, I hope my [sixyear-old] son likes basketball.”

That’s the unique power of what Curry is doing these days with the 20-0 Warriors — it’s far beyond his team affiliation or the normal demographics of this sport.

He’s NBA Elvis. Today’s Jesse Owens. He’s the new thing that blows away all existing limits and boundaries.

So yes, the victories are important. Last season’s championship and Curry’s MVP award were crowning milestones, no doubt.

And Curry’s poise and grace throughout it all — his connection to his teammates, coaches and fans — serve as the largest exclamation points to his ascension.

But as a cultural barometer, the specific Curry Moments — most recently, his incredible 28-point third-quarter performance Wednesday in Charlotte — are essentially stand alone landmarks. We watch. He plays.

The night turns electric.

Brent Barry, a 14-year NBA veteran and now a national TV analyst, says his nine-year-old son asks him one thing every afternoon, “Is Steph playing tonight?” and on Wednesday they were another witness for Curry.

“He won’t miss games,” Barry said of his son, “just like Steph won’t miss shots.”

The NBA, of course, is not lacking for immense, compelling talents — starting with LeBron James and continuing through Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan, Russell Westbrook, Draymond Green

and James Harden, among others.

But there is something different about Curry right now, in his prime (27, in his seventh NBA season) and accelerating his game well past even last season’s MVP dominance.

As future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett suggested a few weeks ago, Curry is treading upon sacred NBA territory — where only Michael Jordan recently has tread. With Curry at the Warriors at the forefront, lethal long-distance shooting has become basketball’s most potent force and Curry proves it every game. “Like Michael Jordan was a whole other thing, this guy is his own thing,” Garnett told reporters Nov. 12. “It’s beautiful for basketball.”

Curry, who scored 40 points in only 30 minutes on Wednesday,

SPORTS 23

@NanaimoDaily

now has six games of 40 points or more this season. The last player to do that in his team’s first 20 games: Jordan in 1986.

But this is not close to the same thing, because Jordan and Curry represent different levels of NBA invincibility.

In his prime, Jordan attacked the rim and defied gravity; Curry seems to exist in a dimension without it.

He just calmly places himself and the basketball wherever he wants, while all other players whirl and tumble haphazardly around him.

NBA legend Jerry West, a Warriors executive, said the most notable part of Curry’s career track is that he works so hard in the off-season and keeps taking enormous strides.

“I think he’s going to create a new kind of player to be honest with you,” West said. “I think before it’s all said and done here’s a guy that’s going to make his own place in history in a completely different manner than these other players have done.”

In just the last two seasons, Curry, who is right-handed, has developed such a great touch driving and shooting with his left hand that West says he sometimes teases Curry that he probably can’t actually use his right hand.

With the possible exception of Pete Maravich’s star-crossed career, the sport has never had such a pure shooter who can also weave through defenders to finish or flick the ball to open teammates.

GOLF

Tiger Woods opens up in ‘Time Magazine’ DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASSAU, Bahamas — Tiger Woods says he has a “fantastic” relationship with his ex-wife and he has taken steps to explain to his two children what happened to their marriage.

In a rare and extensive interview with Time magazine, Woods also shared the same sentiments about his future that he did Tuesday at the tournament he is hosting in the Bahamas. He still wants to play golf at the highest level, though he is resigned that it might not happen if the nerve damage in his back doesn’t allow for it. The world’s former No. 1 player was interviewed by Canadian golf author Lorne Rubenstein at Woods’ new restaurant in Florida. They covered topics ranging from his greatest joy on the golf course to chipping sessions with Seve Ballesteros to his family.

Woods, who turns 40 on Dec. 30, says he has told 8-year-old Sam and 6-year-old Charlie that his parents don’t live in the same house because “Daddy made some mistakes.”

“I just want them to understand before they get to the Internet age and they log on to something or have their friends tell them something,” Woods said. “I want it to come from me so that when they come of age, I’ll just tell them the real story.

“And so, that’s part of the initiative — ‘Hey, it was my fault, too. I was to blame’ — and so I’m taking initiative with the kids,” he said. “I’d rather have it come from me as the source. And I can tell them absolutely everything so they hear it from me.”

In the meantime, Woods said he is stressing to his children that they have two parents who love them.

His marriage crumbled at the end of 2009 when he was exposed for having multiple extramarital affairs, and Elin Nordegren divorced him the following August. Woods endured leg injuries in 2011, got back to No. 1 in the world with eight victories in 2012 and 2013 and has been in a free fall because of back injuries since. He had surgery to alleviate a pinched nerve the week before the 2014 Masters and has had two more procedures in the same spot over the last three months.

All-Star jerseys are an ode to Canada

VANCOUVER ISLAND - LOWER MAINLAND NANAIMO (DEPARTURE BAY) - HORSESHOE BAY Leave Departure Bay

LORI EWING THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — This season’s NBA all-stars will play in jerseys that both pay homage to Toronto’s NBA history, and celebrate the game’s first appearance in Canada.

The NBA and Adidas unveiled the jerseys on Wednesday, for all-star weekend Feb. 13-14 in Toronto. Among the unique design elements, the font for the jersey’s name and number is identical to that worn in 1946, when the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers in the league’s inaugural game.

“This is the first NBA all-star game to be played outside the United States, and it is a very exciting time for basketball in Canada,” said Chris Grancio, global basketball manager for Adidas. “To honour this global celebration and pay tribute to Toronto — the site of the NBA’s first game — we’ve incorporated

design elements that are inspired by the city’s basketball history, sports culture and unique fashion scene. . .”

The all-star game also celebrates the 125th anniversary of the invention of the game by James Naismith. The jerseys have a subtle maple leaf created by dots on the front of the jersey, and the Toronto cityscape is represented in a colour contrast on the back.

The host Raptors have a presence in the dinosaur claw on the black-and-gold jersey tag. The inside neck of the jerseys and the draw string on the shorts is a mosaic of colours — a nod to the international growth of the game.

“In addition to the game being in Canada, it’s also outside of the U.S., so the NBA is very cognizant of how basketball and the NBA has become a very global game,” said David Cho, the NBA partnership director, for Adidas’ basketball marketing.

Dubnyk picks up shutout as Wild beat Maple Leafs 1-0 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PAUL, Minn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Devan Dubnyk made 28 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, Matt Dumba scored a power-play goal and the Minnesota Wild beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 1-0 on Thursday night.

James Reimer stopped 27 shots for Toronto. The Maple Leafs held the Wild without a shot through almost two full power plays. However, with 9 seconds remaining in the second

man advantage, Dumba finally got a shot on the net, scoring the lone goal. Toroto had a goal overturned with four minutes to go.

SENATORS 4, BLACKHAWKS 3, OT Mike Hoffman scored his second goal of the game 30 seconds into overtime to give the Senators a victory over Chicago.

Bobby Ryan and Mark Stone also scored for the Senators, and Craig Anderson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making his ninth

straight start â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stopped 35 shots.

Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin each had a goal and two assists for Chicago, and Artem Anisimov had a goal and an assist. Corey Crawford made 23 saves. Kane tied Bobby Hullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise record 21-game point streak, set in 1971-72.

AVALANCHE 2, RANGERS 1 Chris Wagner and Matt Duchesne scored 4:16 apart in the second period to lead the Avalanche over the

Rangers. Semyon Varlamov stopped 24 shots as Colorado won consecutive games for only the second time this season. Oscar Lindberg scored and Antti Raanta stopped 16 shots as the Rangers lost for the fifth time in six games (1-4-1).

Adam Henrique, Stephen Gionta and Jacob Josefson also scored for the Devils.

Brad Malone scored for Carolina and Eddie Lack finished with 22 saves. The Hurricanes lost their third straight and fourth in the last five.

DEVILS 5, HURRICANES 1 Mike Cammalleri scored twice, backup goalie Keith Kincaid stopped 30 shots and the Devils beat the Hurricanes.

CAPITALS 3, CANADIENS 2 T.J. Oshieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the game broke a tie in the third period and lifted the Capitals to a 3-2 victory over the Canadiens.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (Dec. 4) This year you experience unusual mood swings, where you go from being fussy and critical to being accepting and loving.

A friendship could be instrumental in your meeting someone special. If you are attached, indulge your significant other as you would like to be indulged, and everything will work out fine. The friendship that exists between you is as important as the love you share.

In her younger years Jean enjoyed golfing, bowling and curling. She was masterful at knitting, crochet and petit point and was often busy making gifts for family and friends.

INFORMATION

Rev. Paul Greuter June 29, 1924 - Nov. 27, 2015.

Rev. Father Paul Gerard Maria Greuter was born in 1924 in Amsterdam, Holland, the 11th of 16 children to Theodore and Agatha Greuter.

Having followed the inspiration to become a Catholic priest, he applied for Canada after World War II, partly because of the influence of Canadian soldiers who spoke of life in Canada, and he left his native Holland for good in 1948, entering the seminary near Edmonton. In 1954, he was ordained for the Diocese of Calgary.

Father was posted in various towns of that diocese, but retired early in order to be faithful to the priesthood of his ordination, which was being changed with the Second Vatican Council.

He then moved to Vernon, BC, and spent 30 more years there, restoring the faith of many Catholics who had become hard-pressed to find a traditional Catholic priest.

During those years, he took care of a scattered flock throughout the interior of BC with determination, no matter the obstacle.

In 2002, he handed on his legacy to the Society of St. Pius X priests, and left Our Lady Queen of Peace Church (37th) in Vernon to “retire” to the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Nanaimo (on Jingle Pot Road).

His real retirement only came at the age of 89, when he could no longer keep up physically, although he always kept his wit and sense of humour.

He was well-loved and looked after by his faithful, old and young, and was a particular influence on a number of vocations.

On the 27th of November 2015, his good heart finally gave up at the age of 91, leaving behind sisters, Nell Kok in Port Moody, and Theresa Spit in Amsterdam, Holland, along with numerous nieces and nephews and many spiritual children in Christ.

• Prayers will be at Sands Funeral Home on Dec. 8th at 7pm. • The Solemn Sung Latin Requiem Mass, at Sands Funeral Chapel, Dec. 9th at 11am. • The Traditional Burial Rite follows the Requiem Mass at the Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens. • A reception follows at the Sands Funeral Home.

The celebrant of the Requiem will be Fr. Daniel Couture, District Superior of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in Canada, as well as a number of priest friends, including the District Superior of the Society in the USA, Fr. Jurgen Wegner.

For those who love, time is not.

Missing you today and always.

Canadian 7s squad hopes to hit the ground running Following an extensive pre-season, coach Liam Middleton hopes Canada can hit the ground running in the HSBC Sevens World Series.

The Canadian men open play Friday in Dubai with much on the line this season.

After losing 21-5 to the U.S. in June at the NACRA Sevens Cup, Canada has just one more shot at a 2016 Olympic rugby berth, via a world repechage tournament. And the 10-event menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circuit comes to Canada for the first time in March with Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. Place Stadium hosting.

There is no date or venue yet for the all-important repechage other than it will follow the World Series, which wraps up in London in late May. Middleton hopes Canada can host the 16-team event. Canada will be facing the likes of Hong Kong, Ireland, Morocco, Samoa, Tonga and Zimbabwe for the final Olympic menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s berth. The Canadian women have already booked their ticket to Rio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly doable . . . but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also wary that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to prepare well throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? Middleton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because sevens is that very strange and random game that can bite you if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not on your game.â&#x20AC;?

Rivals are ever improving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bandwidth has narrowed considerably in the last two, three years,â&#x20AC;? said Middleton.

Three years ago, only half of the core teams on the world circuit were centralized with pro contracts. Now every one is as well as three â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hong Kong, Ireland and Japan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who are not core teams. Middleton has worked his squad hard in the leadup to the season with tours to Australia and Florida.

The men placed ninth overall last season, with the Zimbabwe native watching from the sidelines at the start due to immigration red tape. Canada was sixth the previous season under Geraint John.

Middleton has made the most of a full pre-season this time around, although he did not have everyone at his disposal given eight players who took part in the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very doable . . . but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also wary that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to prepare well throughout the year.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Liam Middleton, head coach

Rugby World Cup need some time off.

There was a heavy emphasis on preparing physically and technically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the new World Series format, with very short periods between tournaments, we knew we had to get a big bank of work done now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because really whilst weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the World Series weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be able to make a lot of gains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be just really recovering, preparing again, competing, recovering, preparing, competing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pretty much for five months.â&#x20AC;?

Middleton has also worked on expanding his player pool, to create more competition among players. He has a current depth chart of 50, with 24 he believes would be comfortable in the World Series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we need to increase that to 30 by the end of the year,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Managing his roster will be key if he wants to be able to field his strongest team at the repechage tournament.

On the plus side, Middleton will not have to share his talent this season with the national 15-man team given he controls all 20 carded players.

In Dubai, Canada has been drawn in a tough opening pool with defending series champion Fiji, Argentina and Japan.

The Argentines placed eighth last season while Japan was 15th.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record against Fiji is just 2-39-0. But the Canadians are 13-20-1 against Argentina, including a victory in the Pan American Games gold medal match. Canada has 18 wins in 22 meetings with Japan.

John Moonlight returns to captain a 12-man Canadian roster for Dubai that has a combined 300-plus World Series caps.

Player-of-the-match Sarah Kinzner and second-half sub Martina Loncar supplied the scoring for Canada, which will face Jamaica on Saturday.

Rylee Foster had the clean sheet in goal.

Kinzner got things started for the Canadian side when she put a left-footed blast home just 16 minutes into the contest and Loncar finished off a cross in the 82nd for insurance.

Canada coach Daniel Worthington

was pleased to see his club come out on the winning end with such an inexperienced roster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team featured six international debuts today,â&#x20AC;? said Worthington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are here at this tournament to learn (and) there were some key tournament learning experiences in the match.â&#x20AC;?

The six players who made their youth tournament debuts were Alex Lamontagne, Loncar, Ashley Moreira, Taylor Pryce, Marike Saint-Pierre-Mousset, and Camilla Shymka.

Jamaica and Honduras settled for a 2-2 draw on Thursday.

The top-three nations in the eight-nation competition will qualify for the FIFA U20 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup in 2016.

‘CHI-RAQ’ IS A PLEA FOR PEACE

Samuel Jackson as Dolmedes in Spike Lee’s ‘Chi-Raq.’ [ap photos]

Spike Lee calls for compassion Chi-Raq STARRING: Samuel Jackson, Teyonah Parris, John Cusack DIRECTOR: Spike Lee RUNNING TIME: 127 minutes

JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

M

ore alive than most of the year’s films put together, Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq is urgent agitprop that pulsates with unalloyed rage for the “self-inflicted genocide” of South Chicago and explodes with full-hearted (and gloriously lewd) pleas for peace.

It’s wildly uneven but it is wild.

There’s plenty here to quibble with (the film’s title prompted outrage in Chicago), but unassailable is its passion to bring attention and compassion to Chicago’s blood-soaked streets.

“This is an emergency” flashes across the screen early in Chi-Raq, a hip-hop musical and a social satire that Lee co-wrote with Kevin Willmott (C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America) and sets to the beat of Terence Blanchard’s score.

Teyonah Parris as Lysistrata in Spike Lee’s film, ‘Chi-Raq.’

It’s an updating of Aristophanes’ ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata, in which Athenian women wage a sex strike against their warrior men to end the Peloponnesian War. Lee and Willmott have transplanted the

tale to Chicago, where the murder rate has far surpassed the number of Americans killed in Iraq.

Lee is best as a megaphone for street-level outrage. Whereas most filmmakers gradually ebb in

spiritedness as they age, Lee — in good and not-so-good films — has remained uniquely unpredictable and remarkably prolific. His last great film, 2006’s When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, fed off the fury of New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina.

Chi-Raq, which takes its title from the controversial nickname for the violence-plagued city, is Lee’s most vital film at least since then. It’s a farce, wrapped heavily in stylistic overtures, with maybe a half-dozen introductions to Chicago and to Chi-Raq, including Nick Cannon’s “Pray 4 My City,” played with lyrics blazed across the screen, and Samuel Jackson’s pimplike narrator, Dolmedes, who raps, “We can’t take this much more.”

The story takes a long time to arrive, and when it does, it and the characters remain secondary to the overall frenzy of the movie, all of which is in rhyming verse. Here, Lysistrata is played by Teyonah Parris (“Dear White People”). She’s the girlfriend of Cannon’s gun-toting gangbanger, also named Chi-Raq. His gang is the Spartans, while the Trojans are led by Wesley Snipes’ Cyclops. Inspired by the Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee, Lysistrata organizes a “total abstinence from

knocking the boots” among the women of the Spartans and Trojans to stop the gang warfare.

Many scenes aren’t about strictly advancing the story line but rather deepening the pain, outrage and absurdity. Particularly good is Dave Chappelle’s cameo, in which he, at a strip club, frets about “the penis power grid” being shut down.

Some scenes don’t work, particularly a cartoonish one with a racist Dixieland general (David Patrick Kelly), who ends up straddling a Civil War cannon in Confederate flag underpants. John Cusack as the Rev. Mike Corridan, who preaches at a funeral, is jarringly bad casting.

There’s also a lingering feeling that in bringing the gender roles of ancient Greece to present-day South Chicago, Lee has reduced modern women to sex objects (albeit empowered ones) and men to libido-driven dogs.

But the outrageousness — the madness — is the point. In Chicago, Lee sees a seemingly helpless, tragic situation and he’s marshalled all of himself — every ridiculous rhyme, every bit of bombast — for a truly impassioned film. By the time Chi-Raq reaches its powerful climax, he has made a sensational, stirring case for love, not war.

Hitchcock-Truffault meeting documented Extraordinary 27-hour tete-a-tete in windowless Hollywood office has long reverberations through cinema JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Hitchcock/Truffaut, one of the most essential books about moviemaking and a historic tete-atete between two of the greatest filmmakers (one a Hollywood veteran, the other a rising star of the French New Wave), began with a letter.

“There are many directors with a love of cinema, but what you possess is a love of celluloid itself and it is that which I would like to talk to you about,” Francois Truffaut wrote to Alfred Hitchcock.

What followed was a week of interviews in a windowless Hollywood office that culminated in 27 hours of recordings in which Truffaut discussed Hitchcock’s artistry, film by film. The new documentary Hitchcock/Truffaut by critic, filmmaker and New York Film Festival head Kent Jones, is about that extraordinary meeting and its long reverberations through cinema.

“It was the birth of an idea of cinema and film culture as a world unto itself,” says Jones.

It also had really cool pictures.

Shot-by-shot photo montages of scenes, like the infamous shower stabbing of Psycho, were what first captivated Jones as an already movie-crazy 12 year-old. He was far from alone.

The book, published in 1966, four years after the interviews, is roundly considered a kind of bible for cinephiles and filmmakers, alike. In the film, David Fincher (who is currently

remaking Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train) recalls pouring over the images as a kid. Martin Scorsese describes the book’s celebration of Hitchcock as “like a weight taken off our shoulders.”

“It conclusively changed people’s opinions about Hitchcock,” says Peter Bogdanovich in the film.

“Hitchcock began to be taken much more seriously.”

Though Hitchcock is now among the most revered directors ever (his Vertigo, initially received coldly by critics, currently ranks as the top

film of all time in Sight & Sound’s poll), Truffaut’s book was the first full appreciation of his genius. A post-war cultural exchange between Hollywood and France (the birthplace of cinema) was then stoking a new appraisal of studio films and filmmakers. Led by the Cahiers du Cinema (for which Truffaut wrote before becoming a filmmaker), French critics saw directors — good ones, at least — as the authors of their films, even when working within the confines of the 1940s and ’50s studio system.

For Jones, Hitchcock/Truffaut was ultimately about the emergence of film as its own cultural realm, not in comparison to literature or anything else. In the conversation of two titans of filmmaking — each from wildly different backgrounds, speaking through a translator but united by a common obsession — lie many of the things that makes movies what they are: how shots edited together make a scene; how space is used; how objects take on a hyper, dreamlike significance; what Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman can do together.

“It’s the sensuality and the tactility and the danger and the ecstasy and the modernity all at once,” says Jones. “That’s cinema.”

Jones’ passion for the book, and the conversation it began, is easily apparent.

The film, too, continues the conversation, with filmmakers like Richard Linklater and Wes Anderson still teasing out the craftsmanship of Hitchcock.

It’s easy to see the book (Truffaut called it a “livrefilm” or his “Hitchbook”) as a bridge between two eras of movies: Hitchcock’s classical period, with its careful compositions and classical performances; and the coming shift of more brazenly personal filmmaking and acting, and self-consciously artistic movies.

Hitchcock/Truffaut connects those eras, not so much marking the distance between them than their commonality of pursuit.

The book was a sizable event in the lives of its two participants, too.

Initially planning to do it in a few months, Truffaut spent nearly four years on it.

Hitchcock, who would go on to make a handful more films, remained friends with Truffaut. The two wrote frequently afterward, often exchanging ideas on various projects.

Hitchcock was touched by Truffaut’s interest from the start.

“Your letter brought tears to my eyes,” he responded to Truffaut’s invitation, “and I am very grateful to receive such a tribute from you.”

Paltrow website, Goop, goes live LEANNE ITALIE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site Goop is alive and well in the analog world.

Paltrow, with a hand from the fashion house of Valentino, hosted the media Wednesday at her popup shop Goop Mrkt, open through Dec. 24 at The Shops at Columbus Circle in midtown Manhattan’s Time Warner Center.

“It’s so nice for all of us as a company to experience the digital come to life in brick and mortar, and to be able to bring the whole lifestyle piece to an actual physical store,”

Paltrow told The Associated Press.

Among the beauty products, housewares and other goods selected by Paltrow for the shop is a playful collection of sparkly, staradorned dresses, jackets, sneakers and accessories from Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli for the capsule collection dubbed Valentino x goop. They’re displayed in the shop under a bright Wonder Woman mural.

“I think of the Wonder Woman esthetic being like Goop in a dream,” Paltrow said. “It’s kind of like the highest possible end

of what we do, you know. And it’s fantasy in a way. It’s really high fashion and it really embodies the luxury aspect of the business.”

She said busy moms like herself must be Wonder Women on a regular basis.

Paltrow said she enjoyed Thanksgiving with her “consciously uncoupled” ex Chris Martin and their kids, along with singing on Coldplay’s track “Everglow” from the band’s upcoming album.

“It’s a lot of work getting it together for such a short amount of time, but we have a great time doing it,” Paltrow said.

Talk to wife about children’s discipline Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I am a 33-year-old married man. My wife and I both have children from previous marriages.

My daughter sees us every other weekend, but my wife’s 10-year-old daughter lives with us. I have been supporting her since she was three, and I love her like she was my own. My wife’s ex has no interest in seeing her.

My wife has a brother who is my age.

He’s never been married or had kids.

Recently, while my wife was out of town, her brother and I had a falling out. He was angry with our 10-year-old for not listening to him, and told her off in a manner I found crude and disrespectful. At first, I didn’t say anything, because my mother-in-law was present and she told him to cut it out. But he didn’t listen to her and continued belittling and embarrassing the girl.

I told him that if he wanted others to respect what he says, he needs to show respect himself. I also said that he was being immature and making mountains out of molehills. We argued for 20 minutes, and as he walked out the door, he told me that I wasn’t her real father and that my wife had given him permission to discipline her whenever she didn’t listen to him. I have yet to speak to my wife to see if this is true.

I will be the first to admit that when it comes to discipline, I am easygoing.

But does an aunt or uncle have any authority to discipline nieces and nephews? And does my not being her father give my brother-in-law precedence over me? I know my brother-inlaw loves his niece, but I can’t stand the way he treats her.

And I’m tired of having the fact that I’m not her biological father thrown in my face all the time. What do I do?

— Confused Dad Dear Dad: First, talk to your wife and clear this up. An uncle has no authority to discipline unless he has the parents’ permission, and this immature brother-in-law should not have such permission.

And an uncle would never take precedence over a stepparent unless the stepparent was abusive or neglectful, and some other relative had to step in.

That doesn’t sound like the case here.

The fact that your mother-in-law also found his behaviour objectionable makes him sound like a bully. You and your wife should go over these issues and make sure you support one another.

Dear Annie: I saw the letter from “Didn’t Like It, Either,” about children who don’t want to hug or kiss relatives.

Years ago, when my granddaughter was younger, she was embarrassed by my hugs and kisses when I dropped her at school. So we started doing “Pinky Hugs and Thumb Kisses.” We hooked our pinky fingers together (hugs) and then pressed our thumbs together (kisses). It worked fine. She is all grown up now, and we still laugh and do it when we say goodbye. Just thought you might want to pass it on.

— J. Dear J.: This is adorable. And it can help those children who love their relatives and want to show affection, but find physical contact too difficult or awkward.

Ex-’Riverdance’ star to do final U.S. tour after Broadway show MARK KENNEDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Michael Flatley’s ailing legs will apparently be healthy enough for one last American tour.

The trailblazing former Riverdance star said Thursday he and his farewell show, Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games, will strike out on the road and hit such cities as Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas and Los Angeles after his stint ends on Broadway early next year.

“We have heard requests from our fans across the country who could not make it to New York to bring the show to them and we have decided to do a small tour of the U.S.,” Flatley said in a statement. “I haven’t performed in America for years and we are really looking forward to ending this tour and my time on stage with a bang!”

Flatley’s 17-city U.S. tour kicks off in Sunrise, Florida, on Feb. 19, and then goes to Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Colorado, California, Arizona and Washington, D.C. It ends on March 17 — St. Patricks’s Day — at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Flatley currently is starring in an eight-week engagement on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre that will run through Jan. 3.

He appears at the encore of each evening show, dancing alongside holographic movies of his iconic dances.

The tour will mark his official retirement from dancing. He’s said he’s been suffering from spinal, knee, foot and rib pain — the result of years of Irish step-dancing infused with tap and modern dance.

Ellie Goulding’s cure for the cold: Tequila THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — Ellie Goulding has the perfect cold remedy: tequila.

The British singer admitted she had a terrible cold while performing poolside at a private party to launch her MAC Cosmetics line on Wednesday night during Art Basel Miami Beach.

“I’m going to drink my way through it,” she told the crowd at

the Miami Beach Edition hotel.

“I’ve had a few tequilas. It’s for the best. I’m feeling quite good actually.”

Goulding performed half a dozen songs including an acoustic version of “Burn” and closed the set with “Love Me Like You Do.” At times, she hushed the rowdy crowd, worried the cheering would overpower her ailing voice, but promised “I’ll come party and party

with you guys (after the show) and we can be really loud.”

The singer, who has had some killer collaborations recently, including with Calvin Harris and Zedd, said she doesn’t have any plans to team up with anyone at the moment, but left the door open for a reunion with Harris.

“Who knows? I’m sure me and Calvin will do something again in the future,” she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Once Upon a Timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has fans wondering what will happen next

By Kyla Brewer TV Media

A

ll is not well in Storybrooke, Maine.

A hero has become a villain, and it looks as if someone is about to lose their life. Or are they? Fans who want to know have to tune in to the midseason finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon a Time,â&#x20AC;? airing Sunday, Dec. 6, on ABC and CTV. Set simultaneously in a small Maine town and an enchanted realm, the fantasy drama follows familiar fairy-tale characters who also exist in present day. The series began when Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Houseâ&#x20AC;?) was reunited with the son (Jared Gilmore, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;?) she gave up for adoption.

He led her to Storybrooke, where she learned sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the daughter of Snow White/Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Loveâ&#x20AC;?) and Prince Charming/David (Josh Dallas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thor,â&#x20AC;?

2011), and that she held the key to breaking a powerful curse cast by the Evil Queen/Regina (Lana Parrilla, â&#x20AC;&#x153;24â&#x20AC;?).

Mixing fairy-tale characters with the modern world was a big gamble, but the show was a hit when it first premiered in October 2011, despite many predictions that it would be the first series cancelled that season. Now in its fifth season, the series is still chugging along â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon a Timeâ&#x20AC;? has had its ups and downs when it comes to ratings, but the network knows the show has millions of fans who are as loyal as they come.

The premise is an unusual one for prime-time network television, but co-creator and executive producer Edward Kitsis offered some insight into why it has connected with viewers when he spoke at a panel at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Diego Comic-Con. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that this is a show for believers and people who want to believe, and I think that it united a lot of people that were tired of cynicism and believe in magic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the reason that we created this show was to add a little hope to the world in any way we could.â&#x20AC;?

2

It was Kitsisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fellow creator and executive producer, Adam Horowitz, who sparked a fan frenzy in October when he tweeted a picture of the cover of the season 5 midseason finaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s script, which showed the episodeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swan Song.â&#x20AC;? For those not in the know (spoiler alert!), Emma Swan was transformed into The Dark One at the end of season 4. Fans and critics have been speculating about whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;swan songâ&#x20AC;? the episode features, especially since the producers have promised more than one death this season.

Many are likely hoping the â&#x20AC;&#x153;swan songâ&#x20AC;? in question brings Emma back to the light, though Morrison said at Comic-Con that playing The Dark One has been exciting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some fun to the villainy,â&#x20AC;? she admitted, and went on to explain that Emma had been through some tough times in her life and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to face the darkness in herself and figure out what that means and how to truly overcome it instead of just repress it.â&#x20AC;?

Regardless of what happens to Emma, the episode should set the tone for the second act of season 5. The midseason finale is the last opportunity for fans to visit the Storybrooke characters until â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon a Timeâ&#x20AC;? returns in March 2016 with its milestone 100th episode. Horowitz and Kitsis have teased that the second half of season 5 will be hell, leading many to believe that the characters may be literally headed to Hades.

Fans can also expect the return of some favourite characters this season, such as Captain Hook (Colin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donoghue, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Clinicâ&#x20AC;?), (Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vampire Highâ&#x20AC;?), Mulan (Jamie Chung, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Hero 6,â&#x20AC;?

2014) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In America,â&#x20AC;? 2002).

Shadowhunters brings heaven and hell to ABC Family

By Lydia Peever TV Media Heavenly huntress: Adapted from “The Mortal Instruments” novel series

by Cassandra Clare, “Shadowhunters,” premieres Tuesday, Jan. 12, on ABC Family — though, by then, the family station will have undergone a rebranding and be known as Freeform.

The new fantasy series follows Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara, “The Fosters”), a girl born of angelic and human parents who has the ability to see demons on Earth, and dedicates her life to hunting them alongside other Shadowhunters.

To whet our appetites, the special “Beyond the Shadows: The Making of the Shadowhunters” airs Sunday, Dec. 6, on ABC Family. The stellar special effects that bring the demons and monsters to life will impress viewers, and this special will not only highlight the technical side of the show, but give fans a taste of the magic they can expect when it premieres.

Cast-wise, “Shadowhunters” has amassed a solid team. Alberto Rosende (“Blue Bloods”) plays Simon Lewis, Clary’s very human best friend who finds himself completely outside of his comfort zone as he stands by his friend’s side. The enigmatic Jace Wayland (Dominic Sherwood, “The Cut”) and warlock Magnus Bane (Harry Shum

Jr., “Glee”) throw shade on the warriors’ crusade, while former Shadowhunter Luke Garroway (Isaiah Mustafa, “Anger Management”) always has Clary’s back. Isabelle (Emeraude Toubia, “Tattooed Love,” 2015) and Alec Lightwood (Matthew Daddario, “Delivery Man,” 2013) form a brother-sister duo of demon slayers.

TV and film director and producer, McG — who brought us “Supernatural,” “The O.C.,” “Terminator Salvation” (2009) and more — is on board in both capacities for “Shadowhunters,” so we have an idea of what he can weave out of characters to thrill us.

Horns up!: Some people imagine having divine power. Would you rather have powers of good, or the corrupting powers of evil? For those on the fence, “Lucifer” will make the flip-side look far more fun in this new Fox drama, premiering Monday, Jan. 25.

The premiere date was moved ahead into the new year, placing the first episode right behind the second episode of the new “X-Files” reboot, a move that may garner some crossover viewing.

Loosely based on the DC Comics character from “The Sandman” series, Tom Ellis (“Miranda”) stars as Lucifer Morningstar. Yes, the biblical Lucifer. His power on Earth is the ability to tease the truth out of anyone, often with entertaining results. Surprisingly, the old trickster uses his powers for good instead of evil, though, alongside LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer (Lauren German, “Chicago Fire”).

Not everyone is a fan of Morningstar, though; Kevin Alejandro (“Arrow”) — as Chloe’s ex-husband, Dan — boils as his daughter, Trixie (Scarlett Estevez, “The Massively Mixed-Up Middle School Mystery”), warms up to the guy.

Lesley-Ann Brandt (“Single Ladies”) is Maze, known as Mazikeen, and Lucifer’s closest confidante in the comics; and D. B. Woodside (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer”) is the angel Amenadiel, who is set on convincing Lucifer to go back to Hell.

Q&A

Late laughs Conan: Conan O’Brien Donald Trump said if he becomes president, Americans will be “saying Merry Christmas again.” Which may be true, but if he becomes president, we’ll be saying it from our new homes in Canada.

Because Donald Trump hosted “Saturday Night Live,” NBC is now obligated to give the other presidential candidates free airtime. As a result, each candidate will appear as a tattoo on that girl from “Blindspot.”

Last night, Donald Trump said Ben Carson is wrong about the Egyptian pyramids being used to store grain, because the pyramids are solid. And that, ladies and gentlemen, perfectly sums up the Republican presidential race.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Jimmy Fallon Ben Carson recently went on Facebook to offer proof that the events he talked about in his life really happened. Which is ironic, because people usually go on Facebook to DELETE proof that events in their life happened.

Pizza Hut just unveiled its new “Triple Threat Box,” which is a box with three drawers that holds pizza, breadsticks and a big chocolate chip cookie. Or as Chris Christie calls that, a wallet.

A county in Colorado just voted to put taxes from selling marijuana toward supporting college scholarships. And you can tell it’s a weed scholarship because it actually pays for 11

years of college.

The Late Show: Stephen Colbert As of yesterday, the 2016 presidential election is just one year away, which means it’s only 11 months until voters start paying attention.

Everyone on the GOP side is about to get plenty of face time at tomorrow’s fourth Republican debate. All eyes are on Marco Rubio. He looked presidential at the last debate thanks to his brilliant strategy of standing next to Jeb Bush.

Saturday will be a particularly special Democratic debate because CBS has partnered with Twitter to bring in live reactions and questions. This is supposed to be the biggest Twitter debate since Ben Affleck was cast as Batman.

Late Night With Seth Meyers: Seth Meyers Dr. Ben Carson said this week that he would like to have a beer with Jesus. When reached for comment, Jesus said: “Oh, I have to work tomorrow … ” In response to a question asking why his cabinet is half female, newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly said, “Because it’s 2015.” So, basically, the same reason there’s a Prime Minister named Justin.

Evangelicals are up in arms after a Chick-Fil-A franchise donated money to an LGBT film festival in Nashville. ChickFil-A defended themselves by saying they thought “LGBT” stood for “legs, giblets, breasts and thighs.”

By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: Am I the only one who thinks Tom Hanks and Juliette Lewis look enough alike to be twins? Are they by chance related — cousins or something?

A: I’m afraid Tom Hanks and Juliette Lewis are not related, though you aren’t the only one to point out the similarity.

They’ve aged apart, so to speak, so the effect is less pronounced now. It might help if you picture Hanks not as the modern, distinguished, Oscar-winning actor, but rather as the roguish young man smirking on the VHS covers of “Big” (1988) or “Splash” (1984). Or more helpfully, picture him dressed as a woman, as he was in his sitcom “Bosom Buddies” (1980-1982).

It’s not as difficult with Lewis, who hasn’t seemed to age much since arriving on the scene in 1988’s “My Stepmother Is an Alien.”

Unfortunately, there’s no way to compare them side by side, because the two have never worked together.

Both do have family in the business, though.

Lewis is the daughter of characteractor Geoffrey Lewis, a very familiar face on film and TV with more than 200 roles on his résumé. One of his offscreen roles was as father to a big acting family — four of his other children (Lightfield, Brandy, Deirdre and Matthew Lewis) have all done acting work.

Q: Has Donald Sutherland ever appeared in anything with his son Kiefer?

A: As a matter of fact, the gravelvoiced Sutherland boys have appeared in three films together, including Kiefer’s first film and his most recent one.

Kiefer was just 17 years old when his dad brought him on to the set of 1983’s “Max Dugan Returns” for the coolest ever take-your-kid-to-work day. The young Sutherland played a very small role in that film, which also has the honour of being the big-screen debut of another ‘80s heartthrob, Matthew Broderick.

His role is quite a bit meatier in “Forsaken,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September, ahead of a wider release this February. In it, Donald and Kiefer actually get to play father and son, but in the Wild West, so it doesn’t hit too close to home. Their characters are trying to get reacquainted after years of estrange-

ment, while land-grabbers besiege their community. The film was produced and shot in their native Canada.

In between those two films, they did the hugely successful Grisham-novel adaptation, “A Time to Kill” (1996).

However, as was also the case with “Max Dugan Returns,” the two didn’t actually appear in any scenes together.

After finishing shooting on “Forsaken,” Kiefer told the Toronto Star that he regretted not getting to share the screen with his dad more often. “I wish we’d made a few films together. I wish I had worked with him when he was younger, when I was younger.”

That sounds a little wistful, but it’s not like they’ll never have the chance again. Though he’s now 80 years old, Donald is still hard at work. He has three films due out next year — the family drama “Milton’s Secret” and the indie comedies “Basmati Blues” and “Measure of a Man.” Q: I’m just catching up on the British crime show “Luther,” and I recognize the actor who plays Ian Reed, one of Luther’s fellow inspectors, in the first season. What else has he been in?

A: Steven Mackintosh is a well-established British actor, but he’s not as well known over here.

He’s done quite a few TV series, but since “Luther’s” the only one that made any kind of splash in North America, it’s unlikely you know him from any of those. It’s more likely you know him from one of his many diverse film roles.

He played the genius marijuana grower in the landmark 1998 crime film “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” which introduced both Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham to North American audiences.

He also played the vampire historian (I said they were diverse), Tanis, in the second and third Underworld movies, released in 2006 and 2009.

Much earlier, he played Fred, Scrooge’s ever-cheery nephew, in 1992’s “The Muppet Christmas Carol.”

Most recently, he appeared in “Bone in the Throat,” a somewhat odd crime film written by celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, set (of course) in the restaurant world, and released earlier this year.
