  11-06-2017 22:04 via vancouversun.com
  
  Apprentice jockey Jose Asencio was competing last weekend at Hastings Racecourse when his horse clipped heels with another horse, sending the young jockey and his steed tumbling into the dirt.
  While the horse, a three-year-old named McCallum, walked away uninjured, Asencio wasn’t so lucky. The ensuing spill fractured a vertebra in his back and broke his leg, among other injuries. He was rushed to Vancouver General Hospital, where he underwent multiple surgeries. He now has a steel rod in h

• Downtown Eastside decrepit hotels vital, but temporary answer to housing woes: experts

  11-06-2017 20:22 via vancouversun.com
  
  Despite the rats, roaches and clogged toilets at decaying rooming houses and hotels in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, activists and experts say they provide necessary affordable housing to the poorest people who would otherwise be pushed onto the streets.
  The Balmoral Hotel recently became the focus of the housing crisis in the neighbourhood when the city issued an evacuation notice for about 143 tenants after it determined the building is at risk of collapse.

  Gerard Janssen remembers the day then-premier Glen Clark was left pounding on a locked door after arriving late for a vote in the B.C. legislature.
  Clark’s blunder in May 1997 nearly lost the government the vote. Janssen, the party whip, punished the New Democrat premier with four nights of house duty and a cancelled trip to New York.
  Not even the most powerful person in provincial politics was above sanction by Janssen, who as whip ensured politicians were in the house when they needed to

• Youth dominate street beat in crushing Abbotsford's fun Police Challenge Run

  ABBOTSFORD — Bob Rich once told a breakfast crowd in this patch of Fraser Valley pasture that “crime is toast.”
  Posing for pictures before Saturday’s 27th annual Abbotsford Police Challenge Run, the chief constable also joked that anyone trying to pass him in the morning 5K would be, too.
  So, at about the 1K mark, as we shuffled past Rich and the police torch-carrying Callun Hay, the chief blurted: “Hey Gord, the back of your shirt is on fire!”

• Buyer beware: Duty-free shopping whammy

  11-06-2017 18:37 via vancouversun.com
  
  I don’t usually buy duty-free anything in airports, thinking it’s usually more hassle than it’s worth and the supposed bargains often don’t turn out to be bargains.
  So it was a bit of a shock when, after I finally relented and brought some Carlos 1 brandy at one airport duty free shop in Europe, it was soon seized by customs officials at another airport.
  Falsely believing the boxed bottle of Carlos 1 brandy was safely tucked into a World Duty Free shopping bag, we were tr

• Dermod Travis: In B.C., some ridings are more equal than others

  11-06-2017 17:00 via theprovince.com
  
  Elections have two key components: the race and the mechanics — the legislative process and administration of the vote.
  The race gets the media coverage, not so much the mechanics, even though it can have far more of an impact on the results than many might imagine.
  The number of registered voters didn’t get much attention during the campaign. In April, there were 3,156,991. Notable because it’s 19,464 voters less than there were in 2013.

  Mark Milke says he agrees that reducing carbon pollution is important, but uses the majority of his opinion piece to attack the businesses, organizations and governments trying to solve the problem. The City of Vancouver’s green-building policies were one of his targets and he misses the mark by a wide margin.

  In 2008, TransLink and Metro Vancouver undertook a consultation process that consisted of 60 presentations in which 2,700 participants provided feedback, two public-opinion surveys that tapped 9,000 Metro residents and an online poll that drew thousands more. The results showed support for some system of road-pricing, a policy that subsequently became one of the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation recommendations to raise revenue and reduce congestion.

  Two hikers have been rescued after getting stranded near the summit of Eagle Mountain, also known as Mt. Beautiful, north of Coquitlam.
  According to Michael Coyle of Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR), the hikers called for help shortly after reaching the peak, when the trek back down the mountain became too dangerous.
  “What we think happened is they went up, they got into the snow, and they proceeded over the summit,” he said, “and as they were going down the other side it got

  HONG KONG ANNIVERSARY
  When Hong Kong was handed back by the British in 1997 to become a special administrative region (SAR) of Mainland China (for 50 years), many wondered how long this arrangement would last.
  Prophecy of Hong Kong’s imminent demise circulated wildly. Yet, since reunification two decades later, the territory continues to enjoy a high degree of autonomy. Hong Kong still has its own currency, rules of law and taxation, and the ability to control its own borders.
