Video shown at Charest sex assault trial shows female students looking uneasy
SAINT JEROME, Que. Homemade video footage of a 1990s European ski trip shown at Bertrand Charest's sex assault trial Monday included scenes of two young female ski students who seemed uneasy and who wouldn't look at the camera.
The former ski coach filmed his students skiing down French mountains and driving through the winding roads of Monaco, but he also took video inside the bedrooms of the teens who went on the trip during the 1994 95 ski season.
Monday's witness said she saw coach Charest pin a young girl down on a bed during that European ski trip and fondle her breasts in order to humiliate her.
The woman told the court other people were around when Charest played with her teammate's breasts and commented how they weren't firm enough.
"We were all laughing," she said, except for the young girl allegedly being abused. "We didn't realize what was happening. She was telling him to stop."
The witness said she was on the ski team for two years, beginning in the 1993 94 season, when she was 15.
She said Charest never Hermes birkin bags fake physically abused her or attempted to, but she said he had degrading and humiliating nicknames for her and others on the team.
In the video footage, which was provided to the court by the witness, Charest uses those nicknames on her and the other girl whose breasts he allegedly fondled.
"I didn't like him," she said. "I didn't feel comfortable in his presence."
The witness said she left the team when she was 16 and decided to focus on her studies.
Later in the day, fake hermes bag a second witness told replica hermes handbags outlet the court he met Charest in the late 1980s and became his student in the early 1990s.
They travelled together on ski trips with other students, including one young woman the witness said he developed feelings for.
The witness said the young woman was really close to Charest, who always allowed her to sit at the front of the van when they drove during ski fashion cheap hermes handbags trips, because she allegedly had a bad back.
When they stayed overnight at hotels, the woman would get her own hotel room ostensibly because she needed rest because of her back, the witness said.
The man said he and Charest became close, and he considered his ski coach to be a close friend and confidant.
In late 1993, at the age of 16 and after he ended his ski career, the witness told Charest he wanted to start dating the young woman, who was 15 at the time.

Vancouver restaurant history
Life, lived long, accumulates many rams of memory.
Is it any wonder when I put out a call for memories of restaurants past, I got more than 60 replies. Some of them arrived handwritten in the old fashioned way by Canada Post. you can see, my wife never threw anything out, said one gentleman, who included postcards of restaurants bought on his 1950 honeymoon in Vancouver.
In one confessionary letter, a woman revealed her husband looked uncannily like Bill Vander Zalm when he was premier. They queue jumped many times at On On restaurant in Chinatown thanks to mistaken identity. shamefully admit to doing nothing to discourage this misunderstanding, replica hermes handbags outlet she wrote. miss the On On. I think it safe to out you, Carol Curry. Any queue jumping since the Zalm has been back in the news?
Ross Regan sent a photo of himself with friends at the Empire Cafe in 1948 taken by a friend who happened to be a Vancouver Sun photographer at the time. They all built cabins on the Mountain, carrying equipment and food on their backs, he said.
Frances Smith sent another piece of Vancouver Sun memoribilia: a photo of the first girls the city, being feted at the Hotel Vancouver. sister and I and our two neighbour sisters were the first paper girls in the city, she said. had a big banquet at the Hotel Vancouver honouring the paper carriers and they took a photo of us as we were the first girls.
(Frances Smith, first from right.)
don do emails, 80 year old Bonnie Byrne said on the telephone. Turned out she is an actor (still is) and back in her day, she appeared in TV commercials for the Lady Alexandra (a floating restaurant at the foot of Cardero) and Puccini in Vancouver.
A gentleman started off telling imitiaton hermes bag me about working at the iconic Aristocratic restaurant and marrying a regular customer but veered into descriptions of the view from his Richmond home. the heck all of the above has to do with your entertaining article, I don know but when I get started, I like the Eveready batteries [so he meant Duracell or Energizer so what!] and just keep going and going. As I said, lots of ram. (Thank you, Ken Yorke.)
Those were days when Mitzi Gaynor and Frankie Avalon meant something and servers were called waitresses and waiters. There was more than one story of a memorable waitress with a big heart.
Some stories were rakish, some charming, some could become a novel (check out the entry about the bootlegging grandmother) but all obviously savoured their memories of restaurants past. With relish.
These are downloads of some of their memories from Vancouver past.
Pizzarama] was located at 2676 West Broadway (Regent 6 9019) and the waitresses wore black coarse net stockings and micro skirts. On one visit the waitress left us to open a bottle of Baby Duck and in the process I accidentally shot the cork several booths over where it landed on another table pizza. They all stood up to see where it came from and it turned fashion cheap hermes handbags out they were friends of my parents. Angus McIntyre.
of the BEST Italian rooms that ever WAS, was on Seymour Street, across from the Penthouse Cabaret for years. The house called Iaci was there for decades until the late and served the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. in their early days. Even the likes of Sonny Cher and Mitzi Gaymor were regulars because of the BEST Italian food that could be found in Vancouver back in those years. Mrs. Iaci did the cooking in her own kitchen, Grandma cooked the mouthwatering veal on a wood stove in the basement, you ate in their dining room and living room out front and if you wished, you could eat in a booth they had right in the kitchen. We ate there almost every Friday night before heading out to some of the hot spots in town like Pharoah Retreat, Oil Can Harry Elegant Parlour. Walter Kynnap
lived in Vancouver since 1971 and I do have many pleasant memories from the years gone by, some retold to me after the fact when my memory had faded for evening. My two most regular establishments from the mid to late 70s were Chez Joel in Gastown and the original Il Corsaro on Commercial Dr. Joel always had daily lunch specials for $3.75. [Boeuf] bourguignon or lamb chops or whatever, and on Fridays, sole bon femme. Even when I had pleurisy I managed to crawl out of bed to have lunch there most days. That dedication for you.
in I was exiled to The Bayshore for a few weeks and my suite became my de facto office and Le Gavroche was my twice daily cafe. In those days I would order two main courses to go on one plate. I was trying for the Orson Welles look. I think it was working. At one point, my tab was over 1,500 bucks. Not too shabby for those days and that was me eating on my own.
owner of La Raclette, which was on West Broadway, invited the Charlie Mingus Band and me to his place for dinner. All he wanted in return was a signed copy of the latest LP and a couple of tickets to the show at the Roller Rink in North Vancouver. Back in those days, I would regularly take groups like Queen, Rod Stewart, Bran Van 3000 to Joel La Cote d Il Giardino, La Cantina, and Aki on Powell. If you can believe it, Genesis and AC/DC were the original folks to turn me onto sushi back in those days. 1976 to 85 were for me, a historically impressive, booze soaked, Maalox coated passage of time that can never be repeated. I am a senior citizen now and I feed the birdies in my back garden. Mike O promotions and artist relations for Warner Brothers and an indie sales rep. James Anglican Church on East Cordova and Gore. It was a very colourful walk from the old bus depot to the church. The money we saved by not taking the bus was usually handed over to panhandlers along the way. We would usually be accompanied by the robust music of the Salvation Army band on its march to their temple on East Hastings at Gore. The Anglican Church had a rule at that time that if you were going to make your communion in the morning, you had to fast after midn
ight. We immediately rushed to the Ovaltine Cafe [which still exists on East Hastings St.] for breakfast as did many other parishioners. We had toast and coffee for 10 cents. The toast was about half an inch thick and dripping with butter. If you wanted more than one serving of jam, you had to pay an extra penny. The owner, a very hard working Chinese, was able to put his son through university with his earnings. [That son became a judge.] Betty Vogel.
the mid 50s, when working at a technician at CBC TV studios downtown, during a supper break or after work, I go with a friend to Love Cafe. [Another place], the Elbow Room was a tiny coffee shop on Jervis, between Georgia and Alberni, frequented by us TV folk. It was originally run by Edna, a charming, efficient lady who gave away leftover bakery products just before closing. Later, a Prairie couple ran it into the ground. Then, some gay men took it over, raising prices slightly and quality, highly. The building is still there as part of a redevelopment. [And the Elbow Room continues on Davie St., run by the colourful Patrick Savoie.] Harry Taylor.
first restaurant that inspired any awe was the White Lunch. In the dark and rainy streets of Vancouver winter, the hundreds of neon lights brought a gleaming of beauty. The steaming coffee cup [a neon sign], with the figures walking around on the saucer were lit up invitingly. The fact that only white people were seen in there did not hit my radar; most of the world was white, except in Chinatown. In later years, as childhood naivete peeled away, the horror of a only establishment dawned on me in a way that brought creeping revulsion. Allen Aicken
back about 75 years (I am now 88), our family of five would go for dinner to the Melrose Cafe, just west of Granville on the south side of Hastings. Dad would order five full course meals for 25 cents each. Even in those days, it was hard to believe, buy true! Wally Thomsett
a young boy, my absolute favourite was a restaurant a couple doors down from Scott Cafe. I think it was called the Airliner [it was actually Clancy Sky Diner]. It had the tail section of a commercial sized aircraft jutting out from the restaurant and partially protruding over the sidewalk. Inside along the walls, moving scenery passed by rectangular portholes. Every time I went I had salmon salad which consisted of a whole can of salmon on a bed of lettuce. My mom always had a shrimp salad. Harvie Davidson.
1957, I arrived in Vancouver from the Netherlands with $25. I went to the employment office and they sent me to the Avenue Grill in Kerrisdale where they needed a waitress. The local barber, wanting to learn how to cut women hair, gave me free haircuts. The manager of the local movie house asked me to help take people to their seats with a flashlight, so I got to see movies for for free. Another customer gave me clothes and shoes of his dead wife (which eventually, I gave to the Salvation Army). Sunday was always a busy day after the hockey players came from the ice rink to have breakfast. Unbelievable how much they could eat. Avenue Grill is still in business in Kerrisdale but not as a cafe, more as a higher end restaurant. Genzien Brigham
story got us thinking about The Waterfront Corral which used to be on Heatley and Powell in the late It was a really unique tavern with live bands, great dancing. We all go down there after getting off our shifts working nights at the Four Seasons Hotel. The coolest part was the kitchen, tucked away in the back, run by a little old Greek lady called Mama. You had to go into the kitchen to order, then she bring it out and collect the money. Adding to the atmosphere, the place was a little scary, always filled with characters. We had our first dance there, 32 years ago to Six Days on The Road. Great memories. Paul and Barb O
loved the Beachcomber which was located at 1049 West Georgia. It was huge and exotic as hell for the time and a perfect spot for a date. It was part of a Canadian chain of Polynesian restaurants. The Polynesian theme was big in Vancouver in the We also had the Waldorf Hotel and Trader Vic at the Bayshore Inn in the same era. The Beachcomber d was breathtaking it was packed to the rafters with tikis, bamboo and rattan furniture, carved wooden masks and thatching. The drinks were delish brightly coloured, sugary cocktails with Hawaiian/Polynesian themes and decorated with flowers and the ubiquitous paper parasol. Lynne McNamara
dad played poker with Peter George (owner of Peter Ice Cream on West Broadway) and Rod Foot, the owner of Dunkers (or Dunkin Donuts on the corner of Davie and Thurlow, a very popular place that had the doughnut making machine in the front window. Kids would watch the doughnut pop down out of a hopper into a moving track of hot oil. They go into the restaurant to put on their own icing, nuts, etc. Rod Food bought the Lincoln or Caddy limo that transported Queen Elizabeth in Vancouver in 1951 and brought it around to our house in the 4000 block West 34th and all the kids in the neighbourhood, including my sister and I, took turns sitting in the back seat and rubbing our bums where the Queen had sat. John Kirk
Frank Baker Restaurant] the funniest night occurred when my grandmother was visiting from Toronto. My grandmother called him over, probably saying something like you! and insisted he dance with me. I was 10, unassertive and clumsy. That is my memory of a most fabulous dining experience. Elaine Jameson
were close friends with Giusseppe Gentille, who owned Italian Village and the wonderful Casa D on Hornby across from the Cave Supper Club, back in 1966. I had my 18th birthday party at Casa D After I played piano in the restaurant, I served cake to Mitzi Gaynor and Frankie Avalon, who were eating that night at the restaurant. Frankie came and joined me at our table and invited me to his show at The Cave the following night, which I did, enjoying a wonderful ring side table and a very romantic evening a reminder of how night life was quite incredible and down to earth back then. Ellis Charlotte Pereda Tholen
had never been in the fancy dining room of the original White Spot at 67th and Granville, but would order from the take out window. When friends parents had cars, I order the legendary burger and fries, Triple O, and Coke which came to the car. You turned your lights on for service and turn them on again when you were ready to leave. Your food came out on green trays placed on the window ledges of the car. The Triple O back then Hermes birkin bags fake were the re

They go into the restaurant to put on their own icing, nuts, etc. Rod Food bought the Lincoln or Caddy limo that transported Queen Elizabeth in Vancouver in 1951 and brought it around to our house in the 4000 block West 34th and all the kids in the neighbourhood, including my sister and I, took turns sitting in the back seat and rubbing our bums where the Queen had sat.

Venetia Stanley
This is how Sylvia Plath put it, hard and clear, in her last poem, "Edge": "The woman is perfected./ Her dead/ Body wears the smile of accomplishment,/ The illusion of a Greek necessity/ Flows in the scrolls of her toga,/ Her bare/ Feet seem to be saying:/ We have come so far, it is over." Dead indeed. The bare feet suggest the slab, which makes "toga" only a fine Hermes birkin bags fake word for a morgue shroud. And knowing what we do, about what the poet herself was about to do, we can't help reading these lines as an imaginary, anticipatory self portrait, post mortem. The cause of death and of "the smile of accomplishment" is suicide.
It is a shocking poem, and not just because it's a suicide note. The corpse portrait tends to shock us. Intimate close up doesn't sit well with someone's dead body. The only time that a modern newspaper is happy to print a photo of a corpse's face is when the corpse belongs to an enemy who has recently been killed and whose death needs to be evidentially displayed. A classic case is the body of Che Guevara. A recent case is the body of Abu Musab al Zarqawi. When the corpse is not that of an enemy, any image or any image that can be recognised as an individual person is dubious. To be a corpse is, so to speak, to be in the most undignified situation. To be pictured in this state is more compromising than to be pictured naked, or drunk, or on the lavatory. To publish an identifiable image of someone's corpse is considered an insult to the dead. It's not how most of us would wish to be seen or remembered.
As for a face on portrait, that's more dubious still. Portraiture belongs to the living. It expects a face that can show feeling and character, can know it is looked at and can look back. To fill a portrait's frame with a dead head jams all our expectations of the genre. And someone who had a corpse portrait on their wall would surely raise doubts, and eyebrows, too. The bereaved may well have pictures of their lost loved ones, but not of them dead. What would you call fashion cheap hermes handbags a person who kept and contemplated a picture of their spouse's corpse's face? What do we have the word "morbid" for?
But when Venetia Stanley, Lady Digby, died suddenly at 33, her husband, Sir Kenelm Digby, sent for an artist. Sir Anthony Van Dyck, a friend, arrived two days later. What sort of "sitting" he had isn't clear. He is supposed to have painted her where she lay. He knew the face already. Lady Venetia was a famous beauty, and he'd done her before.
Though only a few examples still remain, the deathbed portrait was not then an uncommon form of memorial. Someone died, you called the painter in. A corpse was not seen as such a terrible thing to be. In another, anonymous example from the same decade, the naturalist John Tradescant the Elder lies on his back, swaddled like a baby, ready for the grave, but with an expression of contentment and complacency no replica hermes handbags outlet less a great man, for all that.
Van Dyck's Venetia Stanley, Lady Digby is not exactly deathlike. It has no slab finality. The image leaves a doubt open, the ghost of a hope. Dead or deeply, peacefully asleep? Perhaps that reflects the Christian's "sure and certain hope" of being resurrected after the Last Judgement, making slumber not a euphemism for death, but a true name for it, since we will rise again. Yet this isn't quite what the picture declares. The corpse may be borderline, but the implied trajectory is downward, and into nothing. Signs of life survive. The woman lies, pale and serene but glowing. Her cheeks are slightly rouged. Her tress of red hair is a trace of living sexiness. Her head rests in her hand, the traditional pose of melancholy thought, and of the dreamer. That's how biblical characters who are having visionary dreams (Jacob, Joseph) are pictured, head in hand. The gesture indicates something still going on.
Some corpse portraits show the deceased tucked up to the neck and clearly horizontal. Here, the space is made vague. The bed is seen too close up for a definite sense of its structure. There's just body and bedclothes. It allows the angle of view to be ambiguous. You can't tell for sure if the scene is seen on the level, or from above. You can't tell, in other words, whether this body is sitting up or lying flat. The diagonal slope that Lady Digby makes within this picture near enough 45 degrees keeps its options open.
But, pictorially, this slope lets her slide away. We see head and shoulders and forearm slipping into the sea of bedding that fills the frame. Pale flesh, into white shift and cap, into white sheets and pillows her body disappears under and into these fabrics, becoming insubstantial. You can't tell what mound it makes beneath the bedclothes. It's lost in the flow, and the simple colour scheme, white and deep blue, make the watery metaphor explicit.
The image is composed like a container with a plughole. The dark bed curtains and bedspread surround the sheets and pillows, but not completely. The white bedding has an exit at bottom left. It laps around the dead woman, embraces her, absorbs her and carries her off, to flow emptily out of the picture. She is portrayed, not stone dead, but as a life draining away, a gently fading presence, dreaming and dying together.
Of this portrait, her husband wrote: "This is the onely constant companion I now have. It standeth all day over against my chaire and table. and all night when I goe into my chamber I sett it close to my beds side, and by the faint light of candle, me thinks I see her dead indeed."
Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599 1641) is, to the English, English (and knighted by Charles I), though in other places, this replica birkin handbags mobile Flemish painter has other names: Antoon, Antoine, Antonio. His lasting fame is for aristocratic portraiture. He coined the self imagery of the Stuart court the cool, sleep eyed ladies framed in curls, the lanky, droopy knights with flowing hair, who assume superiority so unassumingly. It is political painting, and it did its job superbly. The king may have lost the Civil War, but afterwards there would always be Van Dyck's cavalier portraiture to win it back. There was no comparable art on the other side. The English revolution lacked its Jacques Louis David.

Victorian principal risks jail by speaking out about asylum seeker students at his school
The high school students are among 267 asylum seekers who came to Australia for medical treatment with their families, and could be returned to immigration detention in Nauru within days.
It follows a High Court ruling last week that Australia's offshore processing of asylum seekers was lawful.
Mr Dingle is responsible for the students when they attend the multicultural school, and said it wasone of the few places where they feel like normal kids.
They wear the school blazer and tie, play basketball at lunch and chat with their friends in the library. Many of their classmates are unaware of their uncertain future, or the fact that they live in detention. "They are very hardworking, young people and really keen to take advantage of what is offered," he said.
Staff are distressed about the students' future, and the prospect that they may not turn up to school one day soon.
There is growing pressure on the Turnbull government to let the group of asylum seekersremain in Australia. A Department of Immigration spokeswoman said that 48 children of school age were subject to return to Nauru.
It is about time that we showed a bit of compassion for these young people.
Glenroy College principal Paul Dingle
Premier Daniel Andrews has called on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to let the group settle in Victoria, and said the state would accept full responsibility for their education, fashion cheap hermes handbags health, housing and welfare services.

Every other Australian state premier has echoed his calls.
Churches and refugee advocates are running a high profile campaign, and it is understood that other principals are also considering speakingout.
Mr Dingle chooses his words carefully. He could run foul of the Border Force Act, which threatens imprisonment for "entrusted persons" who disclose information about detention centres.
He is not able to say how old the students are, their nationalities or go into great detail about their situation.
"I'm concerned by any push back but it is something that needs to be talked about. We need to recognise how well off we are," he said.
Mr Dingle's school has accommodated asylum seekers living in the nearby Broadmeadows detention centre for two years. He initially thought he would have to closely monitor the students to ensure they didn't run away. "But then I discovered they had no desire to escape. They are happy to be in school, and in the playground with their friends."
Australian Education Union Victorian branch president Meredith Peace fake hermes bag said the asylum seekers should not be condemned to a "life in limbo" on Nauru.
"Kids who are seeking refuge have often come from countries in conflict where their education has already been disrupted. They are in Victorian schools getting access to high quality education in a stable environment."
Removing the children would be extremely traumatic and disruptive to their education, she said.
Lucy Honan, a spokesperson for Teachers for Refugees, a group which started in Victoria in December, said Australian schools provided asylum seekers with " a deep source of safety".
"It signifies their connection to the community, with their peers," the St Albans Secondary College teacher said.
"The moment you're taking your kid out of education you are ruining a lot of relationships, and denying thatchild a future."
She said asylum seeker students were pulled out ofschool photos andno matter how hard theystudied in the VCE, were unableto access Australian universities.
The Age revealed last month that school aged asylum seekers on Nauru were missing out on an education, because classes replica hermes handbags outlet are taught in the Nauruan language and bullying is rife. There have also been allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.
