Soccer
coach guilty of sex assault
STEVE
BRUCE COURT REPORTER
sbr
uce@herald.ca @CH_cour ts
A
Halifax soccer coach has pleaded guilty to s exually assau lting one of his
players, a 14-year-old girl, last fall.
Konstanty
(Kostek) Bedoa-Gorski, 24, entered the plea Tuesday in Halifax provincial
court.
Bedoa-Gorski,
a psychology student at Saint Mary’s University, will be sentenced Dec. 18.
Judge
Michael Sherar ordered the young man to co-operate with the preparation of a
presentence report.
Defence
lawyer Thomas Singleton told the court the sentencing date would allow his
client to finish this semester at SMU.
But
the south-end Halifax university announced later Tuesday that Bedoa-Gorski had
been suspended and barred from campus.
A
dis ciplinary hearing will b e held as soon as possible, a university
spokesman said.
SMU
was in the national headlines last week for a frosh week chant encouraging the
rape of underage girls.
Bedoa-Gorski
abused the girl last October.
He
was also charged with sexual interference. That charge will be withdrawn after
he is sentenced for sexual assault.
Bedoa-Gorski
remains free on an under taking , with conditions banning him from using the
Internet, having contact with children under the age of 16 and going to
schools, parks, playgrounds and other places known to be frequented by kids.
He’s
forbidden from communicating with the victim or going to her home. The girl’s
identity is protected by a publication ban.
Bedoa-Gorski
was director of MAPS Elite, a Halifax-based program for high-performance
soccer players between the ages of 12 and 16 .
He’s
also coached in Soccer Nova Scotia’s provincial program, at the Farias Soccer
Academy and with clubs such as Cole Harbour, Dartmouth United, Halifax Dunbrack
and Dartmouth FC.

VOICE
OF THE PEOPLE- HONOUR YOURSELF
TEACH
RESPECT
Christie
Blotnicky (Sept. 11 Reader’s Corner) is exactly right. Most people are
misinformed about the feminist movement. I have been a feminist for about 50
years, and I take every opportunity to inform young women what we stood for
and what we achieved. We did make progress, but recent events show there is
still much to be achieved.
The
basic premise of feminism is, as Christie stated, equality for everyone. Many
parents do teach this to their children, but that’s not enough.
Respect
for all people must be taught and reinforced in schools, universities,
workplaces, and by each of us every time we get the chance. Why not start right
now with a teaching module to be inserted in every classroom in the province?
Janet
Br ush, Halifax
AND....... READER'S CORNER
READER’S
CORNER
‘How
many of you are feminists?’
I
remember being in high school in Mr. Plato’s Global History class when he
point-blank asked the students: “How many of you are feminists?"
Only
about three of us raised our hands. Plato told them all they were doorknobs (or
something to that effect, lovingly) and explained that feminism is the basic b
elief in equality, something the other kids had never considered before.
Kids
aren’t taught about feminism — not what it actually is, anyway. They close
their eyes and imagine feminists as fat lesbians, frothing at the mouth and
hating men while they stuff their faces with three-day-old tuna casserole.
They
don’t think of their mothers, struggling to make the same pay as the men at
work. They don’t see their older sisters dealing with misogyny each and every
day as a university student. They don’t see their neighbour being raped, their
best friend b eing turned down for jobs, or their grandmother being forced to
stay home because that was her “place."
Kids
need to know what feminism is, because feminism is how we’re all going to make
our world a better place. Making each group equal is how we move beyond issues
like what’s happening in our university system, in or our political system, in
or our workplaces and in our schools.
You
have to teach people when they are young that all people deserve equal respect,
or else you’ll lose them. Why are kids in their first year of university so
quick to accept a sexist chant? Because they don’t know any better, and that’s
our fault.
We
have to do better for the girls and the boys, or else the next generation will
lose something that’s been essential in shaping the current generation: the
ongoing fight for gender equality.

Rally
condemns sexism
SMU
Women’s Centre organizes event in wake of controversial frosh week cheer
FRANCES
WILLICK EDUCATION REPORTER
fwillick@herald.ca
@CH-Frances
About
200 people gathered at Saint Mary’s University Thursday afterno on to denounce
s exism and a culture that allows rape to b e trivializ ed.
The
rally, organized by the school’s women’s centre in the wake of a frosh week
cheer touting rape, drew students, professors, alumni and residents of the
wider community to listen to speeches and show support for organizations
fighting sexual violence.
“It’s
a way to speak out (and say) we’re not going to tolerate this and we want to
make our voice heard on campus," said Lewis Rendell of the SMU Women’s
Centre. Rendell and other speakers emphasized, though, that rape culture is not
a problem that exists solely at Saint Mary’s.
“It’s
not just a university problem or a generational problem. It’s a society
problem," Rendell said. “There’s just a flippancy, an attitude toward
sexual assault and violence against women, like it’s not a big deal or it’s a
punchline. We don’t need that sort of attitude perpetuated on our
campus."
Halifax
poet laureate El Jones preceded a reading of a poem about sexual assault by
telling the crowd that Saint Mary’s isn’t alone in grappling with the problem
.
“SMU
didn’t create rape culture. . . . SMU got caught. But everybody else has been
doing it," Jones said.
Recent
graduate Clinton Chapdelaine returned to campus to take part in the rally,
both to defend the reputation of his school and to help promote an anti-rape
message.
“Right
now, I think the school has sort of a bad name . . . and I think we shou ld try
to do something about that, try to raise awareness. You’d think that ‘rape is
awful’ isn’t that hard of a concept to grasp. But apparently, some people are
still having difficulty with it."
One
of many men who attended the rally, Chapdelaine said as a feminist, he felt
compelled to be there.
“Despite
if I was a du de or a lady, I’d still be here."
Saint
Mary’s alumnae Alleson Kase participated in the rally, holding a sign that read
Frosh Week 2013 Demeans My SMU Degree. But her objections go beyond the
potential damage to the university’s reputation.
Kase
said she has spent years fighting for women’s rights and wants to see the
university administration and students’ association take responsibility for
the incident last week.
“I
was part of the women’s movement during the s econd wave of feminism. In the
70s, I was involved with women’s collectives. We fought long and hard for
various ru les and laws against violence against women , and to think that 35
years later this is still going on — it’s unacceptable."
On
Wednesday, the women’s centre at Saint Mary’s submitted a list of 13 requests
to the university. They included a zero-tolerance policy on sexual assault,
mandatory education about consent and other issu es during orientation week,
new p ositions in the students’ association and funding for a sexual assault
counsellor. Rendell said funding for that position was cut a few years ago.
The
president of the faculty union, Marc Lamoureux, said Saint Mary’s president
Colin Dodds has asked all full-time and part-time faculty to attend an assembly
today about first-year orientation .
There’s
just a flippancy, an attitude toward sexual assault and violence against women,
like it’s not a big deal or it’s a punchline. We don’t need that sort of
attitude perpetuated on our campus.

CANADA'S
SOLDIERS OF SUICIDE HONOURED- SEPTEMBER 2013
AND...
Learn
the warning signs of suicide, grieving mom says
SELENA
ROSS STAFF REPORTER sross@herald.ca @CH-sross
Heather
Jellicoe had a knack for telling funny stories, and she loved dancing and
playing soccer. She had long, dark hair, she worked at the Keshen Goodman
library, and her favourite subject was history.
Heather
died by suicide just before Christmas in 2010, when she was 18.
“Her
death was unnoticed by the media, unlike Rehtaeh Parsons," said her
mother, Sandra Pedersen, who cried as she remembered her daughter.
“Heather
was just a forgotten soul — what she looked like, what her strengths
were."
Rehtaeh’s
name was Heather’s spelled backwards. Pedersen said she couldn’t stop thinking
about Rehtaeh’s family after their 17-year-old daughter’s death in April, three
days after a suicide attempt .
When
she saw that the family planned to attend this year’s Halifax Walk for World
Suicide Prevention Day, Pedersen decided to talk to them. She did so at a reception
in City Hall after the walk Sunday, which had a turnout of about 100 people.
It
was the sixth annual walk o f its kind, and organizers specifically thanked
certain people who had worked to address suicide this year.
Among
them were Fred and Elizabeth Fountain, whose son Alex died at 20 in 2009. They
donated more than $1 million to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre
Foundation for a mental health project .
Rehtaeh’s
family was also mentioned. Several individuals approached Glen Canning, her
father, and Leah Parsons, her mother.
Canning
said that since April he’s been contacted by dozens of Nova Scotians whose
children are suicidal.
Pedersen
told the two she appreciated their outspokenness.
“I
could not have been as public as they were. I could hardly get out of
bed," said Pederson, who lives in Clayton Park West. “They’re putting it
out there for everybody in their position."
After
Heather died, Pedersen said funeral home staff told her they had held memorials
for seven other suicide victims that month, all ages 18 to 21.
“I
was absolutely heartbroken because I was like, ‘How can that be?" she
said. “Eight people in one month in one funeral home in Halifax, Nova
Scotia?"
According
to a 2009 provincial report, Nova Scotia’s suicide rate was lower than the
national average at nine out of 100,000 people. Of the province’s suicide
deaths, 84 per cent of victims were male and 55 per cent had b een diagnos ed
with a mental health disorder.
Pedersen
said the solution is to talk about it more, to learn the warning signs and to
let young people in particular know where they can find help.
She
began walking to raise support for Kids Help Phone. The number is 1-800-668-6868.
More
information about the warning signs o f suicide, and places to get help, can be
found at suicideprevention.ca.

Dal
poised to shepherd aquaculture
SARAH
STEWART-CLARK Editor’s Note
Dr.
Sarah Stewar t-Clark is an assistant professor in shellfish aquaculture at the
Faculty of Agriculture at Dalhousie University and researches shellfish
aquaculture and invasive species. She is presenting at BioMarine 2013 this week
in Halifax.
Aquaculture
is the fastest growing food industry in the world and I believe that Nova
Scotia is uniquely poised to play an exciting role in the expansion o f sustainable
aquaculture operations in Canada .
The
benefits to Nova Scotia are clear. Aquaculture employment is highest in rural,
coastal communities, providing rural communities with valuable economic
development opportunities. This economic development can and is being done in
an environmentally sustainable way on many aquaculture sites within our
province.
Nova
Scotia is world-renowned for its seafood products; aquaculture continu es to
expand this production of high-quality seafood from our province and expands
our niche in the market as a provider of high-quality products.
In
order to expand in a sustainable way forward, I see education and innovation
as pivotal components of a strong, sustainable aquaculture industry in Nova S
cotia .
Education,
extended learning, research and scientific development must be key components
of the future of aquaculture in Nova Scotia. As the industry moves forward, s o
must the capacity for research so that industry challenges and environmental
challenges can be assessed and mitigated using science-based information .
Industry
members and government regulators all need access to the best science-based
information available with which to manage the industry in a forward
direction. Nova Scotia is well poised to move forward in this science-based,
educated direction .
Our
province is home to one o f only two universities in Canada that offers full
BSc and MSc degrees in aquaculture. The Dalhousie University faculty of agriculture
aquaculture Centre is not only training new aquaculture scientists, but has faculty
members dedicated to aquaculture research in both finfish and shellfish s
ectors.
Our
expertise in shellfish genomics, eco-physiology, nutrition and new species
development are great assets to the continued growth of sustainable aquaculture
in Nova Scotia.
Dalhousie’s
faculty of agriculture is providing critical solutions to the industry in
projects like our work on invasive species detection. Through our innovative
leadership, we are creating monitoring solutions for new invasive species as they
arise on aquaculture sites.
Our
extension s ervices are poised to offer training opportunities to industry
members on key topics as they arise, such as dealing with species invasions in
shellfish operations. Our research outreach to industry members is a strength
that I believe will continue to drive aquaculture forward in a positive
direction for Nova Scotia and b eyond.
By
par tnering with industry to ensure that they have the sciencebased
information required to move forward in a sustainable manner, by developing
innovative research tools to assist managers in making the best science-based
decisions possible and by educating a new generation of aquaculture members
with the information they need to make sciencebased decisions, the aquaculture
centre at Dalhousie University faculty of agriculture is well poised to ensure
the future of aquaculture in Nova Scotia is a positive one that will benefit
generations of Nova Scotians to come.

Education,

Daniel
Cotie, 93, looks through his smashed-out back windshield as he poses for a
photo in the backseat of his Ford outside his Robie Street home Sunday night.
Cotie has received several offers of assistance after his daughter posted about
the vandalism on social media. (RYAN TAPLIN / Staff)
The
senseless actions of a few vandals prompted a social media backlash and
countless acts of kindness as the story of a Halifax veteran and his damaged
car spread through the electronic grapevine.
COMMENT:
Wouldn't
you like to put these thugs in a locked room for a couple of minutes with some
members of the arm forces....Love the support from people to help out....Nice
to see electronic media doing some good for a change.
COMMENT:
Why
members of the "arm forces?" Why not just ticked off normal members
of society. I'm sure they would do an equally capable job.
comment:
This
is a senseless crime. It is most likely a University Student. The Universities
should send a not on Social Media and remind students that their actions
reflect the school, and if they are caught doing something stupid and senseless
like this they could be expelled completely. I am pleased to see people
offering to fix Mr Coties car it shows the good side of our society
comment:
if
they laughed there's a chance they'll talk openly about it . Also a message to
the Herald...try narrowing the crime scene area just a bit. "Robie by
Dal/SMU" is a pretty big area. If you're more specific it might jog
someone's memory.

WTF????
Railway
open to handling cr ude
BRUCE
ERSKINE BUSINESS REPORTER
berskine@herald.ca
@CH_Br uceErskine
Cape
Breton & Central Nova Scotia Railway Ltd. wou ld b e happy to take on new
business from a Texas energy company, says Mario Brault, president of its
parent company, Genesee & Wyoming Canada .
“We
are ready, willing and able to do it ," he said in an interview from
Montreal on Friday.
NuStar
Energy LP o f San Antonio announced this week that it is planning to build a
railcar off-loading facility at its petroleum storage terminal in Point Tupp
er.
The
firm wants to ship western Canadian cru de via rail to the Richmond County
operation, where it will b e loaded onto tankers bound for refineries around
the world.
The
proposed facility would also handle natural gas liquids.
NuStar’s
Cape Breton operation is a storage and transshipment terminal capable of
handling 7.6 million barrels of refined products and cru de.
The
facility has 37 storage tanks, and more capacity wou ld be added as part of the
railcar project .
The
NuStar project, still in the very early stages, would involve hauling crude oil
and gas liquids on mixed-cargo freight trains of 16 to 20 cars.
Cape
Breton & Central Nova Scotia Railway operates a 125-kilometre short line
between Truro and Sydney.
The
line is overseen by the provincial Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal
Department under rules that reflect Transport Canada guidelines for national
railways.
Transport
Canada issued an emergency directive on the shipment of dangerous goods after
the disastrous Lac-Megantic derailment that was also issued to Cape Breton
& Central by the province.
A
provincial o fficial said the railway is already in compliance with the
directive, which ordered railways not to operate one-person crews or to leave
dangerous goods trains unattended on a main line.
Brault
said the short line already handles petroleum products for Imp erial Oil and he
was “very confident" it could comply with any directives from
Transportation Canada.
While
he wasn’t familiar with the details of the NuStar plan, Brault called the
prospective development “a breath of fresh air" and was looking forward to
dis cussing the project with the Texas company.
“It
is good news and we are ready," he said.
Brault
discounted concerns that the rail line wasn’t up to the task.
“We’ll
put more money into the track if we need to," he said. “It’s a good
problem to have."

In
the very near term at least, it looks as though U.S. President Barack Obama and
Secretary of State John Kerry have managed to temporarily and partially
extricate themselves from the shambles of their Syria manoeuvring, in the
process setting a new standard for the conduct of realpolitik by the Great
Powers. Call it the Inspector Clouseau approach: Stumble and trip over your own
feet enough times and perhaps you’ll eventually roll out with just a few
scratches, the way a drunk sometimes does after a car crash.
Already
Sunday morning, with the ink not dry on a U.S.-Russia accord struck the
previous day, calling for the destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons by next
year, Obama was declaring victory, in his half-hearted way. “Keep in mind that
my entire goal throughout this exercise has been to make sure that what
happened on August 21st does not happen again.” the American President told
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “Are you confident that won’t happen again?” the
interviewer asked. “Well I think we have the possibility of making sure it
doesn’t happen again,” responded Obama.
As
magisterial assertions of unshakable will by the world’s most powerful human
go, that leaves something to be desired. But facing defeat in Congress over a
military strike Americans overwhelmingly did not want, and also the
near-certainty that his proposed limited, targeted, unbelievably-small-yet-not-a-pinprick
bombing campaign would only exacerbate the chaos in Syria, Obama took the best
face-saving exit he could find, kindly offered by the great humanitarian
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It
is certain that relieving Syrian dictator Bashar Assad of his 1000 tonnes of
Sarin, mustard gas and other poisons will prove more complex and costly, if it
is even possible, than envisioned in the U.S.-Russian communiqué. It remains to
be seen how Obama’s diminished international stature, and Putin’s enhanced standing,
will complicate those efforts, let alone prospects for an end to the Syrian
war. It is a debacle that no amount of narrative re-casting by the White House
will gloss over.
There
are two ancillary players here, however, who, come what may, have emerged with
their foreign-policy street cred strengthened. That would be Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, the reluctant warrior Obama’s faithful corner man and new BFF,
and John R. Baird, Canada’s belligerently non-belligerent foreign minister.
This was not Harper and Baird’s first rodeo, and it showed.
To
begin, they sidestepped the call to arms in the initial round of international
phone calls between Obama, Kerry and foreign leaders and foreign ministers,
that came in the immediate aftermath of the chemical attack in Damascus on Aug.
21. At that point a strike appeared inevitable. Britain and France quickly
joined in the war drumming. The government of Canada just as quickly made a
categorical statement that it would not be joining any military effort. That
disarmed the opposition Liberals and New Democrats, who otherwise would have
held up the spectre of Iraq and Afghanistan, the mixed results in Libya, and
the Harper government’s past bellicosity vis-à-vis Iran, as evidence of a
headlong rush to war. Baird and people close to him have insisted that Canada
was never asked to participate militarily, because we don’t own any missiles —
to which we must respond, yes, of course, whatever. Had there been a desire to
participate, we would have done so symbolically.
But
at the same time, Harper and Baird took pains to avoid the tactical mistake of
withholding political support in Obama’s time of need. Their rhetoric was as
bellicose as Kerry’s, at times even more so. At the G-20 in St. Petersburg,
Russia, Harper forcefully denounced Assad and called for a strong international
response. In effect they helped Obama rattle his sabre, without rattling their
own. Relationships between states are relationships between the individuals who
control those states; Harper’s relationship with Obama has grown frayed over
the Keystone XL pipeline and was in need of refurbishment, especially given
that Obama’s yea or nay on the pipeline is still pending.
Finally,
the government of Canada has been clear-eyed, since the advent of the Russian
gambit, about the enormous obstacles in the way of any effective plan to
destroy Assad’s chemical weapons. According to a senior government source,
foreign affairs analysts believe the proposed disarmament will cost billions,
and require thousands of people to implement. Assad’s chemical weapons are
believed to be widely dispersed across more than 40 sites, and Syria’s highways
are dangerous-to-impassable due to the war. It remains unclear to what extent
the dictator’s forces, not to mention the rebels, will co-operate with the
disarmament effort. Baird’s skepticism is entirely warranted.
Since
Harper’s ham-fisted response to the war in Lebanon in 2006, the opposition have
sought to portray him as a foreign-policy neanderthal. That became more
difficult after his change of heart on the Afghan mission. His handling of this
crisis, which I suspect most Canadians would quietly applaud, will make it more
difficult yet.
