Protesters say process was flawed SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
T
wo people were arrested for mischief following a day-long series of protests at Colliery Dam Park in Nanaimo on Tuesday. The demonstration was in opposition to the city’s plans to build an auxiliary spillway at the lower Colliery dam, work that will require the removal of approximately three dozen trees in the park. The event delayed workers from moving into the park to begin cutting for much of the day, but the city confirmed work would begin later in the day once protesters had left the park. Protests began at approximately 7 a.m. at the site of the proposed spillway. Demonstrators gathered in the fenced-off area said that about 40 people had turned up initially, but by 9 a.m. the number had dwindled to approximately 25 people. Some of those assembled chained themselves to one of the trees, while others held up signs.

William McCallum receives a ticket from City of Nanaimo bylaw officers. Several other residents also received tickets for refusing to leave the area Tuesday morning.
City bylaw officers asked protesters at the site to leave, and later returned to hand out bylaw infraction tickets to those who remained on site William McCallum was one of the residents who received a $187 ticket for remaining when directed to leave under the city’s parks bylaw.
“I don’t really give a rat’s ass about getting a ticket, I give a rat’s ass about the park,” he said afterwards. “I’m here because I am unhappy with our democratic situation in Nanaimo,” said another protester, Wesley Marus. Coun. Jim Kipp, who had voted with the rest of council to build
the spillway, also showed up to protest and received a $187 ticket from bylaw officers. Kipp indicated he was dissatisfied with how the motion had been carried out and slammed the city and the province’s dam regulator for proceeding with the project, which he said was based on “anecdotal information.” Kipp said he attended to “show my disregard for this process and how it is gone,” and said he was there as a private citizen, not a councillor. Coun. Gord Fuller also attended the protest throughout the day, but did not receive a ticket. He predicted political fallout from the work, which he admitted would not be stopped through protest. “We are going to do a full forensic audit of this,” vowed Fuller. Protest organizer Dave Cutts had urged the assembled group to scatter themselves around the park and not identify themselves to bylaw officers. “We’re going to make this as difficult as possible,” said Cutts. Bylaw officers asked media to leave the fenced-off section of

the site shortly before 11 a.m. By the afternoon, Nanaimo RCMP officers attended at the request of the city. Most of the protesters had left the fenced-off area by 2:30 p.m. RCMP officers later arrested and escorted two men out of the fenced off area within the park. RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien said approximately 15 bylaw tickets were issued throughout the course of the day, but said “five or six” of the people who received the tickets gave false names. Leon Cake, one of the people chained to a tree, said he was leaving “Because I respect the law.” “There’s nothing I can do. They’re going to do what they’re going to do.

Road rager smashes car windshield DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo RCMP want information about a road rage incident that occurred on the Nanaimo Parkway on Sept. 3. A man driving a 1985 blue Toyota told police he was in the
fast lane at approximately 5:30 a.m. when he noticed a truck behind him, tailgating and flashing its high beams. When he moved into the slow lane to allow it to pass, the truck pulled in behind him and stopped at the side of the road.
As the blue car approached a red light at the Jingle Pot intersection, the driver of the silver truck left his vehicle and proceeded to smash the front windshield of the blue car with a large rock. The complainant, in order to
avoid a further confrontation, sped off and did not see the other vehicle again. No licence plate was obtained for the suspect vehicle. The suspect driver is described as white, short and stocky and between 55-60 years old.

Businesses join Salvation Army in effort to help the hungry in the city Robert Barron Reporting
C
raftsman Collision is teaming up with SaveOn-Foods and PriceSmart Foods this Saturday to help the Salvation Army ensure that no family in B.C. goes hungry this fall. As part of the campaign, the partners will host a day-long food drive at the Save-On-Foods’ locations at Woodgrove Centre and Country Club Centre from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Craftsman Collision is pledging to match every item donated. That means for every can donated by a customer, two cans of soup will make it onto a shelf at the local Salvation Army Family Services unit. The Salvation Army has seen an increase in demand in every British Columbia community this year, as more families have come to rely on their services to put food on the table. On top of that, many food banks throughout the province have had trouble stocking the shelves, with fewer businesses and individuals being able to part with food donations during ongoing difficult economic times. In 2014, Craftsman Collision’s “Make a Dent” campaign raised more than $23,000 for the Salvation Army’s food banks in B.C. The hope is that when the drive is complete, each location will have donated enough food to fill a Craftsman Collision courtesy car.

on Selby Street is now the home of the new Taphouse Restaurant. The restaurant is owned by the Ivens family, who also owned and operated the Irish-themed Fibber Magees pub that closed in August. The family also operates the Fox & Hounds restaurant in Ladysmith and the Black Goose Inn in Parksville. Harrison Ivens, manager of the Taphouse Restaurant, said the business specializes in burgers, poutines, small plates of appetizers and lots of beer. “We have cheap prices for our food and beer and our menu caters mainly to those who don’t
want full meals, but are looking for light snacks and other foods they can share with others,” Ivens said. “We’ve changed the seating to allow for larger groups and we now have televisions in the restaurant for the first time.”
New Smitty’s on the way The owner of the Smitty’s Restaurant in Southgate Mall is planning on opening a second outlet for the franchise in Nanaimo on the site of the former Earl’s Restaurant in Rock City Plaza. Lyle Sharkey said the oppor-
tunity was there to take over the old Earl’s location so, with no other family restaurants in the immediate area, he decided to jump at it. He said the new location is currently under construction and he expects the city’s newest Smitty’s Restaurant will be in operation in early November. “The menu will be basically the same as our location in the south end, but the restaurant itself will be a whole new design,” Sharkey said.

One of those employees, Robert Welbourne, commutes twice-aweek via bus from Departure Bay to work in the cafe. “I really enjoy working here, it’s a great place to work,” said Welbourne, who does food prep and washes dishes. “I really enjoy the hours that I work and the cafe environment. All of my co-workers get on really well.” Coco also provides a 100-hour training program where people with disabilities learn various kitchen duties and techniques from staff on the job. Approximately 40 people are on a waiting list for the program. “This is just a fantastic opportunity to come to Coco Cafe and

see a company that is really making an effort with employment creation for people with disabilities,” said Stilwell. “As we move forward with Accessibility 2024 and the government’s plan to be the most successful jurisdiction in all of Canada, it’s leadership by places like Coco that really will continue to drive that desire.”
Anyone with information on this incident can contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477, text your TIP to 274637, keyword Nanaimo or submit on line at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com
The Accessibility 2024 initiative was brought to life after a consultative process, between December 2013 to March 2014, that involved British Columbians with a disability, their families as well as other members of the public. The 10-year actions plan is designed to make B.C. the most progressive province in Canada
for people with disabilities by 2024. Stilwell said the issue of getting more people into employment is one the provincial government needs to “push on” with and believes that hiring en employee with disabilities makes good business sense. “There’s benefits for both the employee and the employer,” said Stilwell, who cited the loyalty and hard work provided by an employee with disabilities. Sarah Pachkowsky, manager of community engagement at Coco, says the cafe has plans to expand and open another location from Nanaimo but will need the continued backing of the community and further financial support. “When we first started four years ago, we specifically looked for employees with disabilities but now we don’t need to,” said Pachkowsky. “There is such great demand now and we can’t keep up with it. So we’ve been really pushing in our community for people to use our service and help our business and that way, we can employ more people.” Ross.Armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230a
Ferry savings harm service, claim critics KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
BC Ferries saved several thousands of dollars more than its target last year through service cuts, according to a report done by the chairman of the Ferry Advisory Committee. John Hodgkins, a transportation specialist and head of a group of Ferry Advisory Committee chairs, found that BC Ferries achieved significantly more in savings than it was ordered to by the province three years ago. “The actual cost reductions indicated by our estimates . . . varied widely from the net savings targets set by government – in some cases by a factor of two or three — suggesting that the approach to cost reduction was, in some cases, more aggressive than necessary to deliver the mandated targets,” Hodgkins wrote. Jim Abram, regional director for Quadra Island, said Hodgkins found the figures for the Campbell River-Quadra Island route to be the “most striking.” Hodgkins admits in his report that while the figures are derived from BC Ferries data, the numbers have not been confirmed by BC Ferries. Nevertheless, his report finds that operating costs on the Quadra Island ferry route were reduced by roughly $450,000 in 2014 while BC Ferries estimated the route would lose $125,000 in revenue. That means BC Ferries achieved a savings of $325,000 last year, which is $140,000 more than the $185,000 BC Ferries was ordered by the government to cut out of the route through service reductions. Abram said the “enlightening” report reveals that BC Ferries went too far. “Instead of saving $185,000 as they projected, they in fact saved $325,000, which is a good indicator of how much we are being gouged,” Abram said in an email. Hodgkins agrees. “Taking account of best estimates of the likely revenue effects, it does appear that the net savings achieved on some routes are below the targets set by government, whereas on other routes the net savings delivered substantially exceeded those targets,” Hodgkins wrote. While the Quadra Island route produced excessive savings, that wasn’t the case on all minor routes. The Crofton-Vesuvius Bay (Salt Spring Island) run only achieved $40,000 in savings compared to the government’s target of $105,000; the Buckley Bay-Denman Island route had $224,000 in savings which fell short of the $330,000 target while the Denman Island-Hornby Island run missed its target of $180,000 with a savings of just $137,000. The Nanaimo to Gabriola Island ferry route reported the greatest savings. Through service reductions, a savings of $886,000 was realized while the government’s target savings was $400,000. Hodgkins said BC Ferries has told the Ferry Advisory Committee that it is unlikely to publish its own details of savings achieved on a route-by-route basis due to “perceived commercial confidentiality.” He said BC Ferries “was satisfied that the government’s financial objectives had been met.” Hodgkins said the province is not requiring BC Ferries to provide financial outcomes for each route and that “government was satisfied that as long as BC Ferries made the cuts, they would achieve the required savings.” BC Ferries was ordered by the government in 2013 to come up with $18.9 million in savings with cutbacks to its minor and major routes effective April 2014.

Employing the disabled is a win for us all
G
etting a job can be tough at the best of times even for the most qualified among us. Now consider what it’s like to be job hunting with a disability like autism, cerebral palsy or Down syndrome. The trick for anyone entering the job market has always been to get experience to put on a resume along with references from an employer. That’s two strikes for anyone with a disability. Add societal prejudices and that’s three strikes. Disability Employment Month in B.C. is intended to address such problems. The idea is to create dialogue that will raise awareness and foster solutions for challenges faced by those with disabilities wanting to enter
the workforce. No one is saying people with such disabilities deserve to be simply handed jobs, and that’s not what they are looking for anyway. All they are asking for is to be given serious consideration by employers for what they can do. We would like to think that’s not a whole lot to ask for, but existing prejudices and stereotypes may stall a job application with just that one word — disability. To address this issue of how people with disabilities can prove themselves, build a resume and earn references, the Coco Cafe in Cedar employs 13 people with disabilities on its 23-person staff. The cafe, open four years now, also provides a 100-hour training program where people with
disabilities learn various kitchen duties and techniques from staff on the job. The Coco Cafe is a starting point not just for those entering with workforce with a built-in disadvantage, but also for a community like Nanaimo. The cafe has plans to open another location in the city, and once that happens that will be a benefit to the community as much as those who will get work experience there. Once we look beyond the stereotypes and prejudices, it becomes abundantly clear that the vast majority of people with disabilities offer a great deal of untapped potential. They can work as hard, make positive contributions to a workplace and can be creative.
Coco Cafe’s 100-hour training program is geared toward the restaurant industry, but this is not a training ground to produce restaurant workers. The city already has such a course at Vancouver Island University. What Coco Cafe is doing is offering a chance for people to work when attitudes and beliefs may assert they are otherwise unemployable. It’s about having not just the skills but also the confidence to enter the workforce. This effort just makes sense from every angle. Work gives a person dignity. And the more people who get paycheques in our community, the better. It may also go toward lessening dependence on government disability allowances.
Creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities is an idea that needs to spread beyond the Coco Cafe. They are doing a good job as they look to a second location. But the demand for their services — with 40 people on the waiting list for the program — indicates that much more can be done to aid those with disabilities to get into the workforce. The advantages are significant and provincial support for such programs is going in the right direction with its Accessibility 2024 initiative. We all need to support that — and those it helps. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

High-quality urban design important for city Dave Witty Opinion
O
ver the past few years, Nanaimo has explored the concept of successful cities and the importance of taking a five-pronged view of what makes a city successful: built environment, cultural, economic, environmental and social considerations. While much has been written about the need to address cultural, economic, environmental and social issues and needs, there has been less focus upon the built environment and associated urban design considerations. Yet, the importance of high quality urban design as a precursor to healthy communities, to city competitiveness and to overall quality of life is gaining increased worldwide attention. It is my view that high-quality urban design is central for Nanaimo to achieve a high quality of life. In the absence of high quality urban design, places are nondescript and look the same; basically anywhere North America. Placemaking is a critical element for place identity. Place identity is central to well being; to feeling connected; being part
of a place where we can all be proud of our ‘image.’ High quality urban design that is rooted in the context of place (weather, culture, landscape, views, terrain) provides a means of linking the built environment to the local, to place, to context. The choice of materials, orientation, functionality and building form and character should be influenced by local context. Context sets places apart. Good urban design builds on notions of context to create design identity; a sense of place. By taking time to invest in high-quality design, neighbourhoods can be more attractive and robust, industrial parks can inspire and commercial development can welcome. On the other hand, design blandness can be a de-motivator; an unimaginative response to context and opportunity. In Nanaimo, there seems to be a move to higher quality design (check out some of the new light industrial buildings on Boxwood/ Dufferin off Bowen Road, the cruise ship terminal, the apartment building at St. George and Waddington, and the Hawthorne neighbourhood). It seems to me that higher quality urban design is finding a ‘home’ in Nanaimo. That is a good thing. Inspire Nanaimo, commends those architects, urban designers and developers who are responsible for those
high quality buildings. But, we can and should do more. Why is good urban design important? Why should we demand high quality urban design for Nanaimo’s built environment? Good urban design promotes several important elements that contribute to a high quality of life: buildings that engage with the street and create a pedestrian scale and appeal, spaces that engage people and promote interaction, streets that encourage pedestrian activity and safety, and building form and character that reflects regional elements and materials. Good urban design is the basis for creating a city that people want to live in and visit, a city that attracts investment and the highly mobile knowledge economy worker, a city where citizens are healthier (because they walk more), and a city that has resiliency in tough economic times. Good urban design and associated high quality attractive cities are a positive response to a global market place where cities are in competition for investment and mobile high skilled workers. If we agree that high-quality urban design contributes to Nanaimo’s well-being and the quality of life of its citizens, then we need to ask the question: Who looks out for our urban design interests?
While there is a city-appointed design panel in place to examine new development from an urban design perspective, there needs to be a larger conversation about the importance of urban design and the need to ensure we require high quality design in Nanaimo’s development of buildings, places and spaces. Nanaimo is fortunate to have a capable professional design community of architects, community planners, interior designers, landscape architects and urban designers. But, it needs a stronger community commitment to excellence in design, to encourage and celebrate high quality design and to promote the advantages of a city by design through respectful discourse and conversation. Nanaimo needs to take urban design more seriously by opening up those conversations. To that end, Inspire Nanaimo will be promoting the importance of high quality design as an integral component of a resilient and prosperous city; a successful city in the fullest sense. Please join us in those conversations. Dave Witty is VIU’s Provost and member of Inspire Nanaimo, a partnership of the City of Nanaimo, Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce and Vancouver Island University. He is a professional community planner and urban designer.

PORT ALBERNI
Arrest made in connection with 2006 death KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
An arrest in a cold case that spanned almost a decade has given a Port Alberni family a measure of relief. Larry Darling, 51, was arrested in Surrey on Sept. 11 and charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection to the death of then 28-year-old Kristi Morrey in 2006. “Today we stand before you, strong, knowing that someone has been arrested,� said Jaclyn Koning, Morrey’s cousin, reading from a statement during a press conference Tuesday at the Port Alberni RCMP detachment. “Our initial reaction was shock, relief and with a heavy heart, betrayal.� Inspector Chuck McDonald, officer in charge of RCMP E Division Serious Crime Unit, said former Port Alberni resident Darling was Morrey’s ex-boyfriend at the time of her death. The two had ended their relationship a month prior.
“On Aug. 20, 2006, 28-year-old Port Alberni resident Kristy Morrey was found murdered in her Beaver Creek residence,� McDonald said. “The charge of first degree murder has been laid in relation to Kristy Morrey’s homicide.� Darling was originally considered a person of interest in the 2006 investigation but police did not have the evidence for an arrest. He moved to Alberta in 2009 for work but returned to the Lower Mainland a year later. He was residing in Abbotsford at the time of his arrest last weekend. “We’ve gathered information, analyzed evidence . . . in some cases we’ve reevaluated evidence,� McDonald said of the cold case. “In 2013, the B.C. RCMP Serious Crime Unit was asked to support the investigation and provide a fresh set of eyes,� said McDonald. “We are the last piece of the puzzle that has taken nine years to solve.�
THE PUB 3956 VICTORIA AVENUE 250-758-5513
Modern forensic technology not available to the police at the time of the crime helped the police discern new evidence, he said. “A homicide investigation is complicated and with the amount of time that elapsed, sometimes new forensic tools become available to us,� said McDonald. New information also became available as the investigation continued. “With all that coming together, we reached a point where the Crown approved charges.� Morrey had gone to work at Gone Fishin’ on Aug. 19 before going to a wedding reception at Cherry Creek Hall, said McDonald. She left the reception and returned home with friends, who then left in the early hours of Aug. 20. “When friends called her later that morning and didn’t get an answer, police were called and Kristy was discovered deceased in her bedroom,� McDonald said. “We believe this was an iso-
lated incident and the why and how will ultimately be provided during the upcoming judicial
process.� Darling was due to appear in Port Alberni court today.

Gaunce eager to gain Canucks’ confidence after switching to wing
A great sight to see Ranger lift Mann Cup
JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
Scott McKenzie
PENTICTON — Brendan Gaunce knows it can take a long time for young players to gain the trust of an NHL team. He hopes a change he made last season will help speed that process along with the Vancouver Canucks. The 26th pick at the 2012 draft was moved from centre to the wing last season with the AHL’s Utica Comets, a switch the 21-year-old from Markham, Ont., said has helped improve his overall game. “I think it will be a benefit in the long run,” said Gaunce. “With the Canucks knowing I can play both those positions and that I can play them well enough that they’ll trust me, it was definitely a positive.” Gaunce just completed his third Young Stars rookie tournament after scoring 11 goals and 18 assists in 74 AHL games last season. He added four goals and five assists in 21 playoff games. “I found playing wing I know what the centre is going to do,” he said. “I played centre my whole life so you kind of know where the centre’s going to be on certain plays. It really helps you on the wall because you don’t always have eyes on the play.” One of the draft picks in the Canucks’ system who wasn’t selected by the current manage-

ment regime, on the surface it would appear as though Gaunce has been surpassed by other prospects in the organizational pecking order — namely 2014 first-rounders Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann — with training camp set to begin Friday. Utica head coach Travis Green, who led Vancouver’s prospects in Penticton at the Young Stars tournament, said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Gaunce play in the NHL at some point this season.
“He’s taken off. He’s had a good summer,” said Green. “I think he’s one of those guys that if he has a good camp and progresses the way he should . . . he should put himself in a good spot to play some (NHL) games.” The Canucks remain a team in transition, with younger players getting sprinkled among the veteran core. For his part, the sixfoot-two 205-pound Gaunce isn’t focused on anything other than continuing to improve. “I think that’s the mentality
you have to have as a young guy,” he said. “You can’t look at it like you need to be on the team and if you’re not it’s a huge downer. I’m confident in myself that I can play at the NHL level. You just have to get them to trust you. “You can’t go into it slowly. You have to go into it full press. There’s definitely an opportunity for me this year.” The Young Stars tournament also included rookies from the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.

or the better part of a decade, Scott Ranger was the face of Nanaimo lacrosse. To see him raise the Mann Cup with the Victoria Shamrocks last week, although surreal to see him do it in green, was a great one — he was as deserving of the Canadian Lacrosse Association’s national championship as anyone on that floor. Because after everything he did for the game in Nanaimo, it was about time he was rewarded for his work in the game. In 2012 and 2013, Ranger’s last seasons in a Timbermen jersey, he posted 187 points in 36 games as a dominant force in the Western Lacrosse Association. But the Timbermen were never in a position to compete for a league championship, much less the Mann Cup — a trophy that until Friday night hadn’t been won by a WLA team in nine years. With the Shamrocks, though, it could be done, and on Friday it was by a team captained by Ranger. If that was the last game for the 32-year-old Nanaimo schoolteacher, it was one heck of a way to go out.

Are your love handles getting too much to love? Do you have wobbly thighs and arms and a muffin top? Then CoolSculpt® is the procedure for you. This groundbreaking technology uses a patented cooling process called Cryolipolysis® to target and eliminate fat cells. This non-surgical procedure is highly effective in targeting fat cells without damage to other cells and tissue. It basically melts fat cells away by freezing them, making it the number one most requested non-surgical body sculpting procedure. With the CoolSculpting® procedure,
patients experience successful liposuction-like results but without downtime, anesthesia, or pain medication and most patients return to work immediately after the treatment. Bring on the new you! Now available at Dr Skinlaser, the trusted dermatologist Dr Julian Hancock’s practice at Boardwalk on Rutherford in Nanaimo. Nanaimo’s longest established skin laser clinic, and the ONLY one on the Island outside Victoria directed by an FRCP(C) Dermatologist.

Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I am a pastor and recently conducted a funeral at our church for a beloved member. In accordance with the family’s wishes, a friend of the deceased was allowed to speak for a few minutes during the service. Unfortunately, the “friend� proceeded to tell inappropriate stories. After he’d spoken for quite some time, I asked him to allow others to talk, but he refused to yield. Finally, an angry family member asked him to sit down, but the damage had already been done. May I offer three cardinal rules for speaking at a funeral? 1. Keep your remarks brief — less than seven minutes. Write and practice what you’re going to say.

2. This is not a comedy club. Though you may share a funny story about the deceased, do not say anything that would humiliate that person or their family. 3. Do not brag about yourself. The service is not about you. — Grieving Pastor Dear Pastor: Many folks, when confronted with the death of a loved one, say amazingly inappropriate things. Thank you for reminding them to think before speaking. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be dragging far more than you realize. Motivate yourself by working on a project that has been on the back burner. Be willing to ask a partner to pitch in and help you. You have done plenty of favors for this person in the past. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you are angry with someone, do yourself a favor and opt for a discussion rather than holding in your feelings and exploding. You might be surprised how much can be handled calmly in this situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Clear the air in a sensitive way. You will be surprised by what you can accomplish once you have aired out a problem . Your schedule becomes busier and busier. Be ready for a pleasant diversion or some interference, depending on your outlook. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Extend yourself, and be open to a different approach, especially regarding a domestic matter. You will be the one in charge who has the final say on what goes on in your home. Relaxing your boundaries might be difficult. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

est cashed two clubs and switched to a heart as the only chance to defeat the contract. South won the queen and rode the queen of spades to the king. East returned a heart but declarer won the ace and drew trump to earn the game bonus, N-S +620. The heart shift did not cost since declarer would park any losers on the diamond suit. North’s redouble revealed three-card spade support and the major suit game was reached when North subsequently offered an invitation. N-S may face problems when West declines to take part in the auction. If he passes, North will certainly rebid three diamonds disclosing a strong six-card suit with about 16-18 HCP. What call would South make? He could rebid the five- card spade suit (forcing) but this action could handcuff partner. North might not hold spade support nor a heart stopper. It is more likely that South would advance to 3NT with the strong heart holding although the absence of a club stopper is a concern. West may begin with a heart versus 3NT as declarer wins the queen and loses a spade finesse. East must return a club to restrict South to ten tricks. A heart exit will culminate in twelve tricks.

Toronto mayor says Olympic bid is scuttled LIAM CASEY AND DIANA MEHTA THE CANADIAN PRESS
Toronto will be a great venue for the Olympics one day but not this time, Mayor John Tory said Tuesday as he announced the city will not be bidding to host the 2024 Summer Games. Tory had until Tuesday to submit a letter of interest to the International Olympic Committee to register as a potential candidate to host the Games. “Let me be clear, I’m not saying no to the Olympics, I’m saying not this time.� Talk of Toronto potentially making a bid emerged as excitement built around this summer’s Pan Am Games, which were hosted by Toronto and surrounding communities. But he said there wasn’t enough time to put together enough information for the politicians, the business community and the city’s residents. The city was focused on the Pan Am and Parapan Games, which ended last month, and had little time to crunch numbers, he said. “I can’t look people in the eye at this point in our city’s development and tell them that an Olympic bid is the best use of our time or our energy or our investment,� Tory said. “But now I can look into the eyes of my colleagues at other levels of government and say this — together we should be making the investments talked about in the context of the Olympics.� Tory said the city’s time and money will be better spent investing in transportation and transit, addressing the affordable housing crisis and reducing poverty. He said he “will continue to be very careful in how our money is invested and to what end.� Tory didn’t need approval to submit a letter of interest to the IOC, but would have required support from city council and provincial and federal governments to go forward with a bid. “In the end it is not my job to be rash. It is my job to make the best decision for Toronto,� Tory said.

Human remains linked to Amber Alert: RCMP Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette, 2, missing since early Monday LAUREN KRUGEL THE CANADIAN PRESS
BLAIRMORE, Alta. — A candlelight vigil meant to lend hope and support in the search for a missing two-year-old girl dissolved in grief Tuesday night as RCMP informed the crowd that investigators had discovered human remains. As an official with victims services announced the Amber Alert for little Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette had been cancelled, one young woman crashed into a friend’s arms and sobbed. Others sniffed quietly and wiped away tears. Some just stood in stunned silence. A group cocooned Hailey’s grandmother in an embrace. “This is the news that nobody wanted to hear,� said Crowsnest Pass Mayor Blair Painter. “This is going to devastate our community and it’s going to take us a long time to heal from this.� The news swept across social media, prompting an outpouring of sadness from across the country. “My heart is broke, can’t stop crying,� Cathy Hollahan posted to a Facebook page called “Let’s Bring Hailey Home Safe.� “RIP, my darling.� Hailey had been abducted early Monday morning from the town of Blairmore, 220 km southwest of Calgary, by someone driving a speeding white van. Her father, Terry Blanchette, 27, was found dead in their home and police believe his death was a homicide. Mounties have a 22-year-old suspect in custody. Supt. Tony Hamori said the name of the man, a resident of Blairmore who was arrested there on Tuesday, wouldn’t be released until charges had been laid. Blanchette was described by friends and family as a devoted single father who shared custody of Hailey with his former girlfriend, Cheyenne Dunbar, who lives in Edmonton. He worked as a cook in a restaurant and had many criminal convictions between 2010 and 2012 for issues such as failing to appear in court, failing to stop his vehicle, evading police, minor theft and assault. But after Hailey was born, there were no more court appearances. Blanchette’s Facebook posts switched from talk of court dates to pictures of him with his baby daughter.

“This is the news that nobody wanted to hear. This is going to devastate our community and it’s going to take us a long time to heal from this.� Blair Painter, Mayor of Crows Nest Pass
Neighbour Angela Mathieson said Blanchette loved being a father. “He was taking good care of her. There was always laughing and giggling going on over there.� Hamori said Dunbar was co-operating with investigators. “Police have been speaking with her and obviously, at this point in time, followup investigation is going to be done on all information we receive.� Tuesday night’s vigil had started out with a group wearing yellow arm bands talking about searching the nearby woods together for Hailey. Candles and stuffed animals covered a picnic table by a playground just around the corner from the home where Hailey had lived. A group sang a reworked version of the old spiritual “Kumbaya� — “A girl is missing, my Lord, Kumbaya . . . bring her back to us, Kumbaya.� A pink sign with “please bring our baby Hailey home safe� hung on the park’s gate, a single teddy bear affixed to it.

Tories lose appeal over wearing niqabs at citizenship ceremonies MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The courts handed the Harper government another policy rebuke Tuesday when the Federal Court of Appeal quashed its attempts to ban face coverings at citizenship ceremonies. But the Conservative campaign vowed to fight back, saying uncovered faces at such ceremonies were “consistent with Canadian values of openness, social cohesion, and equality.” The latest chapter in the Conservatives battle with the courts unfolded Tuesday when the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the government’s appeal of an earlier Federal Court ruling that said banning face coverings at such ceremonies was unlawful. On Tuesday, the three justices ruled from the bench, saying they wanted to proceed quickly so that Zunera Ishaq, the woman who initially challenged the ban, can obtain citizenship in time to vote in the Oct. 19 federal election. Appeal Justice Mary Gleason, speaking on behalf of her two concurring judges, said her court saw no reason to interfere with the earlier lower court ruling. Ishaq, a 29-year-old woman with devout Muslim beliefs who came to Ontario from Pakistan
ISHAQ
in 2008, refused to take part in a citizenship ceremony because she would have to show her face. The swift ruling left her almost speechless, but she said she looks forward to voting. One of her lawyers, Marlys Edwardh, said the Immigration Department would be contacted this week so she could attend a citizenship ceremony — accompanied by her lawyers “just in case.” A spokesman for Conservative Leader Stephen Harper expressed regret over the court’s ruling. “We understand the government is considering all legal options,” spokesman Stephen Lecce said in an emailed statement from the Conservative campaign.
“As the prime minister has said, most Canadians find it offensive that someone would hide their identity at the very moment where they are committing to join the Canadian family. Both Justin and Thomas Mulcair are offside with Canadians on this issue.” The Conservatives would re-introduce a law banning face covering and their campaign will have more to say about the issue in the coming days, Lecce said. The ban on face coverings sparked a bitter debate in the House of Commons when it was first announced, and Tuesday’s ruling looked certain to place the issue firmly on the federal election campaign agenda. Earlier Tuesday, Justice Department lawyer Peter Southey told court that the government never meant to make it mandatory for women to remove their face coverings for citizenship ceremonies — a position that left both the judge and Ishaq’s lawyers scratching their heads. The admission appeared to be a climbdown from the Conservative government’s past position on the issue. The controversial edict was a regulation that had no actual force in law, Southey told the hearing.

Former gangster sues over jailhouse beating
Ballem’s exit prompts search for city manager
An inmate has filed a lawsuit against the B.C. government and corrections staff at the Surrey Pretrial Centre where he alleges his screams were ignored during a five-hour beating. Daniel Cunningham says in his notice of civil claim that he was repeatedly punched, kicked and stomped on and had his head forced into a toilet in an attempt to drown him. Cunningham says two fellow inmates led him to a cell near a guard’s control desk before he was assaulted and knocked unconscious at least three times.
Vancouver has launched a global search for a new city manager after announcing that veteran civil servant Penny Ballem is out of the job. The city issued a statement Tuesday that said Mayor Gregor Robertson and city council have voted to initiate a senior leadership transition with the conclusion of Ballem’s service. Ballem was hired in 2008 shortly after Robertson’s Vision Vancouver party came to power. She served as deputy health minister from 2001 to 2006 in the provincial government.

The 19-year-old man from Calgary is believed to have been swept over Twin Falls while climbing along the waterway. Parks Canada’s Tania Peters says a park safety team has been deployed and a helicopter is conducting an aerial search. Peters says they’re looking for any clues that may indicate the man fell in the water and are checking along the shoreline.
RCMP in northwestern B.C. hope the public can help them trace the person who left a small dog to die in the woods. Cpl. Dave Tyreman says the sick and severely dehydrated dog was found Sunday by a passerby in an area outside Kitimat. The dog which resembles a Maltese, had been placed in a diaper box and police estimate it was there for at least two days. RCMP in Terrace want to speak to anyone who may be able to identify the dog or lead police to the person who abandoned it.
