The Great Race of 1871 (potentially other title)

The Great Race of 1871 was an international rowing match held on August 23, 1871, on the Kennebecasis River in New Brunswick, Canada. The race served as a rematch between the Canadian Paris Crew from Saint John and the English Tyne Crew from Newcastle upon Tyne, following the English team's victory in 1870.

The race is primarily remembered for the death of James Renforth, a popular English oarsman who collapsed from heart failure during the race.

Background

On September 15, 1870, the Paris Crew faced their first major defeat when they competed against the Tyne Crew from Newcastle upon Tyne in Lachine, Quebec. The English team, led by James Renforth (stroke),[1][2] won over the six-mile course on the St. Lawrence River.[3] During the race, a heavy rain squall created rough water that swamped the Paris Crew's boat, rendering it water-logged and unmanageable. (rewrite)[4][5] The Tyne crew, whose boat was better suited for the conditions, won the event.[5]

Having been defeated, the Paris Crew challenged Renforth to a rematch,[6] resulting in formal articles of agreement being drafted in February 1871.[3][6] The rematch was scheduled for August 23, 1871, on the Kennebecasis River, along with stakes being set at £500 a side. Renforth, having split from his former crewmates following a dispute, recruited Harry Kelley, Robert Chambers, and John Bright for the match.[3]

race

English crew left on July 14, 1867 (friday), "taking with them a new boat 41 feet long and 18 3/4 inches broad, constructed expressly for the race by Robert Jewett of Dunstan, and named the England."[7]
"A great deal of interest is being taken in the great rowing race between the Tyne and the St. John crews" ... race held August 23. Straight, three-mile stretch of Kennebecasis River, between Tonyburn Cove and Salmon Creek. Course was measured in the winter. Paris Crew "training hard on the Kennebecasis River ... feeling confident that they can beat the English crew and win the world championship title."[8]
During the race Renforth began to sway and lost control of his oar. "Having breakfasted every with the same care which they had all along exercised, and from which prudence forbade all relaxation, they proceeded to their beautiful craft.' The start was made, the lead was gained. But suddenly RENFORTH was observed to sway from side to side, and was evidently losing his mastery of his oar. Then the St. John men forged ahead and KELLEY eagerly called to his mate for a spurt. But he who of old could put on enough to lift his boat out of the water, could spurt not respond to the cheery call, and with teeble utterhe exclaimed, "It's not a fit, HARRY. I've ance, had something." The oar dropped from his stricken hand, his brawny arm fell like a withered branch in a storm."[9] (next page) https://www.newspapers.com/article/north-mail-newcastle-daily-chronicle/171382945/

legacy(?)

The village where the race occurred named Renforth in honor of James Renforth[5]

Automobile manufacturing

During the mid-1970s, New Brunswick was briefly in the automobile manufacturing industry with the production of the Bricklin SV-1, a two-seat sports car. Produced by American businessman Malcolm Bricklin, the vehicle was manufactured in Saint John and bodywork was done in Minto.

The project was supported by then-premier Richard Hatfield, and the government initially invested $4.5 million. Issues accumulated during production led to this investment growing to $23 million along with only 2,854 units being produced before the company declared bankruptcy.[4]

On 11 January 2018, Harry Uzoka, a 25-year-old British male model, was murdered outside his home in Shepherd's Bush, London, by fellow model George Koh. Uzoka was fatally stabbed in the heart during a confrontation with Koh, who was assisted by two friends. Koh and Merse Dikanda were subsequently convicted of murder, while Jonathan Okigbo was convicted of manslaughter.[7][8]

Background

Harry Uzoka

Harry Uzoka was a 25-year-old male model, born to a Nigerian family in London.[7] He was raised in Dagenham,[9] where he attended the All Saints Catholic School. During his teenage years, Uzoka rose to prominence in his early modelling career, being posthumously described by Linda Adey of the BBC as "one of the country's most promising young black male models".[7] In 2008, Uzoka was sent to a youth detention center for his involvement in robbing a cash transport vehicle;[7][9] he served two years out of a four year sentence. After his release, Uzoka enrolled in college and was subsequently signed to West London-based modelling agency AMCK, after his brother, an AMCK-signed model named Edmond, brought him to a meeting. After being signed, Uzoka walked for London Fashion Week and modelled for various brands including Nike, Zara, and ASOS. He later signed to Premier Model Management.[7]

Uzoka and George Koh

Uzoka met fellow model George Koh during a photoshoot in 2015. At the time, as stated by model Chuck Achike, "Harry had been helping a designer teach some models how to walk the runway," including Koh. It was later speculated by some of Uzoka's friends that Koh would copy his modelling style in photoshoots.[7] Until March 2017, Koh was signed to IMG Models and had worked with Paul Smith and Hero.[10] Koh was described as having been "obsessed" with Uzoka.[11]

Murder

On 11 January 2018, Koh sent Uzoka a message reading, "Where you I'll come there n we can fight bring ur friends with u." Uzoka replied, "Come Shepherd's Bush."[12]

Michelle Lise Wedge (born December 1, 1967) is a Canadian missing person who disappeared at the age of seven in Moncton, New Brunswick, on July 2, 1975.

Background

Michelle Lise Wedge was born on December 1, 1967.[1] She had five siblings, and the family lived on Dominion Street in Moncton, New Brunswick.[2]

Disappearance

On July 2, 1975, Wedge was riding her bicycle on Dominion Street, near her house in Moncton.[3] Her parents were away for the evening, and, having been supervised by her older siblings, she had been "enjoying the fact that she was up so late".[2] She returned home around 8:30 p.m., but left again shortly afterwards. Eyewitnesses last saw Wedge riding her "mustang-style bicycle" around that time.[4] Her bike was later found abandoned on the corner intersecting the Dominion and John streets.[3] She was described as having disappeared "sometime between dusk [9:13 p.m.] and dark [9:43 p.m.]". Wedge's siblings tried looking for her around the neighbourhood upon realization that she was missing, but to no avail. Wedge's parents were called at 11:30 p.m., and a missing person's report was made to police at 11:59 p.m.; Wedge was wearing navy shorts, stockings, and sandals, along with a red-and-white t-shirt at the time of her disappearance.[2]

Internment Camp B70

Internment Camp B70 was a Canadian internment camp located along Route 10 in Ripples, New Brunswick. It was first known as POW Camp B.

History

The site was first developed as an unemployment relief camp during the Great Depression.[1]

Phase I: Jewish Refugees (1940-1941)

The camp's first phase began in August 1940 when it received 711 German and Austrian Jewish refugees, mostly young men aged 16–20, who had fled Nazi persecution to the United Kingdom.[2] Classified as enemy aliens by British authorities due to suspicions of potential spies among refugees, they were shipped to Canada at the request of Prime Minister Winston Churchill.[3][4] Many of these refugees had previously endured Nazi concentration camps or lost family members to the Holocaust. By June 1941, refugees were released or transferred to other camps.[2] Some were released to join the British military, find sponsors in Canada or the United States, or pursue education and careers. The camp closed briefly for three weeks to renovate for new arrivals.[5]

Phase II: POWs and Civilian Internees (1941-1945)

Closure

The camp closed by the end of August 1945 following the end of the war in Europe. Remaining internees were transferred to Camp 23 in Monteith, Ontario.[2] The 52 buildings were sold as surplus and relocated for use as homes, summer cottages, Legion halls, a post office, and a dance hall in surrounding areas like Minto and Grand Lake.[2][5] Three internees died of natural causes during operation and were initially buried in Fredericton; two German remains were later relocated to the Kitchener German war cemetery in 1971.[6]

Operation Overstep


"Operation Overstep"[1] was the codename given to a sting operation conducted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in 1989 to intercept members of the Medellín Cartel smuggling cocaine into the Canadian province of New Brunswick to distribute throughout Canada and the United States. The operation resulted in the seizure of 500 kilograms (1,100 lb) of cocaine, worth an estimated CA$250 million. At the time, it was considered to be the largest cocaine seizure in Canadian history.

The operation relied on Douglas Jaworski, a Canadian pilot who had worked for the cartel, acting as a double agent to infiltrate the smuggling network. On April 3, 1989, a twin-engine Aero Commander aircraft crash-landed at the Weyman Airpark between Burtts Corner and Keswick, New Brunswick, while carrying the cocaine from Colombia.

Background

During the 1980s, increased surveillance by United States authorities in the Caribbean and American Southeast forced South American drug smugglers to seek alternative routes into the United States, including flights into Canada. At the time, Canada lacked the detection and intervention capabilities that the United States had, and New Brunswick in particular became of interest to drug traffickers due to being largely rural with several airstrips that were rarely used or abandoned.[2]

In the late 1980s, the Medellín Cartel, led by Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, took interest in New Brunswick as a North American smuggling route.[3] According to informant Douglas Jaworski[4][5] and corroborated by the RCMP during later court proceedings, Escobar put into motion plans to establish a cocaine "distribution base" for North America in the province.[4][6] The strategy involved flying cocaine directly from Colombia to New Brunswick, then using land transport to move it to the United States.[2]

Douglas Jaworski

Douglas Jaworski, a young Canadian pilot[7] with no criminal record,[8] worked for the Medellín Cartel in early 1988[9] by supplying airplanes, performing money laundering,[7] and smuggling cocaine through flights.[9] He was assigned in Medellín by Alejandro Diego Vasquez Caycedo,[10] one of the cartel's senior managers, to broker the purchase of an Aero Commander 695 and later to locate a suitable airstrip in Eastern Canada for cartel operations.[9]

Instead of completing Caycedo's assignment,[9] Jaworski approached Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) constable Bert Gillies on December 16, 1988, at Toronto Pearson International Airport, explaining that he could help arrest key members of the cartel.[11] The RCMP established contact with Jaworski afterwards.[12][13][8] Jaworski received CA$200,000 from the RCMP to act as an informant, along with guarantees of exemption from U.S. charges for tax evasion and money laundering by the Internal Revenue Service.[14][15][16]

Operation

new section

On January 19, 1989, Jaworski spoke with Caycedo on the phone to discuss Caycedo's "Jumping Jack Project".[17] Their conversation was wiretapped, with Jaworski giving Caycedo the impression "that he was trying to buy property, set up a hangar, pay necessary taxes, and get his phone set up."[18] Because the RCMP had not yet fully trusted Jaworski, he employed excuses to stall Caycedo.[19] In February 1989, Jaworski, under Caycedo's instruction "to find an airstrip east of Montreal", used a helicopter to survey nine airstrips with the RCMP. These were then narrowed down to the two best options for Caycedo, the second of which was the Weyman Airpark; the RCMP preferred it due to being in closer proximity to their operations in Fredericton.[20]

To convince Caycedo, Jaworski promoted New Brunswick, claiming its airports were "closer to Colombia than anywhere else in Canada," and provided a false advertisement indicating the land was for sale.[21] The Weyman field was eventually surveyed by Jaworski and a cartel worker,[22] and an initial flight scheduled for March 13, 1989 was cancelled after affiliated drug smugglers were arrested in Sorel, Quebec.[23]

Flight and crash-landing

Jaworski began his non-stop flight from Medellín to New Brunswick,[24][25] flying an Aero Commander 1000 equipped with a twin engine.[25]

As the plane approached Weyman Airpark, one of its wings struck a tree, causing the aircraft to crash-land.[25]

The plane crash-landed at its intended destination on April 3, 1989.[26][27][28] "the pilots panicked and ran off into the nearby woods" but were found by undercover RCMP officers posing as drug dealers "who calmed them" and transported them to Fredericton.[25] The pilots were placed on an Air Canada flight to Toronto under the pretense that arrangements were being made for their return to Colombia.[25]

U.S. authorities had also made a tip of the flight (likely redundant info, already an RCMP plan).[29]

(expand on this later)

  • RCMP authorities waited for the plane to land, posing as drug dealers.[25] "a wing hit a tree as it was approaching the runway. The plane was severely damaged but no one was injured".[25] "the pilots panicked and ran off into the nearby woods. They were found moments later by undercover police who calmed them, whisked them off to Fredericton, and placed them on an Air Canada flight to Toronto. There, the pilots were led to believe that arrangements were being made to put them on a flight back to Colombia".[25]"Meanwhile, the drug packets were removed from the aircraft, placed on a truck, and "delivered to Montreal under our control," Supt. Pouliot said."[25] "Sources said the truck was driven by RCMP undercover agents posing as middlemen in a drug operation code-named Operation Overstep, which involved Canadian and U.S. customs officers and police in Fredericton, Montreal and Toronto."[25] "According to police, most of the cocaine was destined for the U.S. market, but at least 25 kilograms had been earmarked for Toronto and another 25 kilograms was slated for distribution in Montreal."[25] "Two Colombians, Jose Ali Galindo-Escobar, 27, and Fernando Augusto Mendoza-Jaramillo, 37, were arrested in Toronto on Wednesday evening, returned to Fredericton on Thursday and charged yesterday with importation of cocaine."[25]


Arrests

In Montreal, three Colombians were arrested on April 6, 1989: Richard Delgrado-Marquez, 23 (a New York City resident), Carlos Mario Ortega-Gonzalez, 25, and Flora Emilse Currea-Miry, 30.[25]

  • "The RCMP made what it says is the largest drug seizure in Canadian history early Thursday when officers discovered 500 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of up to $300 million." "The cocaine in 500 single-kilogram bags cocaine arrived in Canada from Colombia last week on board a small two-engined aircraft which flew north along the US coast before crash-landing at a makeshift airport in New Brunswick RCMP in Fredericton said today." "There it was loaded on a truck and shipped to Montreal where it was found in a downtown apartment A Colombia-born man was arrested in the apartment." "Police said the pilot and two truckers who were also arrested came from Colombia as well."[30]
  • "What's the newest destination for the international drug-smuggling set? How about Mouth of Keswick, in rural New Brunswick, where abandoned cars share grassy knolls with grazing horses, cows and deer? And now those cars are being joined by abandoned a airplanes." ... "RCMP were waiting for the twin-engined plane, which they say flew to Canada non-stop 1 from Colombia. Five people were arrested after the seizure, which police are calling the largest in Canadian history."[32]
"People might have the attitude 'my gosh, can you imagine in a small, quiet place like New Brunswick," says RCMP Cpl. Phil Campbell. "But it's a fact of life." Since American authorities stepped up enforcement of the U.S. coastline and the southern border with Mexico, Campbell says smugglers have been looking to the East Coast of Canada. "If you look up from Florida, we stick out like a sore thumb. Worries that the quiet Maritimes could become host to scenes previously seen on U.S. television news or Miami Vice came to the surface recently in the New Brunswick legislature.[32]
"I fear New Brunswick is becoming a tourist destination for international drugs dealers," fretted Jane Barry, a Liberal backbencher from Saint John. More than a year ago, a plane carrying 200 kilograms of marijuana from Jamaica landed in Brockway, west of Fredericton near the New Brunswick-Maine border. In September 1987, police seized 200 kilograms of hashish oil at McAdam, near the Maine border in southern New Brunswick. In October 1986, almost 16 tonnes of hashish was seized from trucks in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick after being brought to a remote Cape Breton Island port from the Middle East. RCMP suspect another seven tonnes got through their net.[32]
So where do the drugs go after leaving places like Mouth of Keswick or Brockway? Mainly to drug wholesalers in Montreal or Toronto, police say. Some of the drugs stay in Canada but most find their way into the voracious American market. There is also the of New Brunswick's 500-kilometrelong border with Maine, with hundreds of unmanned crossings and roads that lead to Interstate 95 - a four-lane pipeline down the U. S. eastern seaboard.[32]
Just ask Terry Poiriers of Ft. Fairfield, Me., whose orchard is right on the border about a two hour drive northwest of Fredericton. She recalls a car that illegally crossed the border, dropped a bag near her house and returned to make an official crossing a few kilometres down the road. "My kids picked up that shopping bag," she says. "They thought the white powder was just flour in plastic bags and threw it in the river." The driver and a friend later returned looking for the bag. "My oldest boy was smart, he gave him a story about another car picking it up."[32]

Even as the twin-engine plane carrying 500 kilograms of cocaine was crash-landing, RCMP officers lying in wait at the rural New Brunswick air strip realized they were witnessing a significant event.  It wasn't so much that international drug smugglers had chosen the unlikely farming community of Keswick near Fredericton to penetrate the North American market. Nor that the seizure of $250 million worth of cocaine was one of the biggest in Canadian history. More notable was that the April 3 non-stop Colombia-to-Keswick flight of the modified Aero Commander 980, equipped with extra fuel tanks, signaled a new chapter in Canadian drug enforcement. "This is definitely a new development . . . one we can expect to see in the future," says Supt. Neil Pouliot, the Ottawa-based head of national and international drug operations for the RCMP. "As far as we know, there has never been an attempt to fly in a large quantity of cocaine directly from Colombia. So what the South Americans are trying to do is open up a new corridor to the U.S. market." There is nothing novel about the traffic of large quantities of contraband on the East Coast. As far back as the 1920s, rum runners discovered a natural affinity between their secret activities and the East Coast's thousands of hidden, unpopulated inlets and harbors. In the past decade, following the so-called war on drugs south of the border, smugglers rediscovered the relatively unpoliced northern gateway to the continent. Beginning with seizure of 18.5 tonnes of marijuana off Shelburne, N.S., the Atlantic provinces have netted Canadian authorities some of the biggest drug busts in history. Since police believe they only catch 10 per cent of the trade, it can be assumed Atlantic Canada has also helped international drug traffickers to some of their biggest scores. A list of 13 major offloads of grass and hashish compiled by the RCMP shows just how routine ship-to-shore operations have become. 
Among the busts: 
- In 1985, 13.2 tonnes of hashish was seized in Lockport, N.S. Estimated value, $230 million.
- In 1986, about 25 tonnes of hashish was landed in Cheticamp, N.S. Police seized 17.4 tonnes when • one of three vans carrying the stash to Montreal overturned on a Nova Scotia road and a second was apprehended in New Brunswick. The third van was never caught.
- In November 1987, 15 tonnes of hash was seized in Clarenville, Nfld.
"And we know of about 20 others that have either succeeded or were suspended for a variety of reasons... we're talking offloads in tonnages," says Cpl. Bill Parker of the Halifax RCMP detachment. Parker adds that these and other busts all involved cannabis from Colombia or the Middle East transported by ship. They were organized by well-funded professionals based in the U.S. or Toronto and Montreal. The Lockeport offload typifies the ship-to-shore operation. Using local businessman Leonard Mitchell as their inside man, RCMP officers monitored the operation for 19 months before the seizure in May 1985. By then, the Miami-based smugglers had invested about $200,000 on a ship, two refits, equipment, a fishing licence and a stash house on shore. "Lockeport was essentially a trial run," explains Parker. "They didn't set that up for one venture, this was going to be the very procedure for boatload after boatload of drugs." Parker says the drugs are almost aways destined for the northeastern U.S. Once in Canada, they are trucked across the border along one of the many unguarded country roads in New Brunswick and Quebec, or moved by boat. "The U.S. Coast Guard might be suspicious if they seen a Lebanese boat off Boston, but a Canadian fishing vessel? There's nothing unusual about that," Parker says. Despite the impressive number of seizures, police believe the fact that busts are continuing shows smugglers still look at Atlantic Canada as the hole in North American drug enforcement net. John Fernandes, a special agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Miami, notes the increased drug landings on Canada's East Coast coincide with tighter drug enforcement in the U.S. "We have DEA, the FBI, the U.S. Coast Guard and Customs on drug enforcement, so I'd like to think we're making it difficult for them and chasing them north," Fernandes said in a telephone interview. By contrast, Parker says the Nova Scotia RCMP drug squad totals 42 officers and there is no routine coast guard patrol. Instead, Canadian authorities have tried to enlist local fishermen and other residents to report suspicious incidents. Nova Scotia RCMP have signed up 1,200 residents in the Coast Watch program. But with the flight of Aero Commander, authorities have something new to concern them. Pouliot believes the Maritimes, with its many unmanned air strips and sparse radar coverage, may prove as vulnerable to penetration for drug smugglers from the air as from the sea. Police are now in the midst of preparing strategies to combat the newest threat, Pouliot says. But with manpower unlikely to be beefed up, police may have to resort to an old tactic - a civilian air watch program - to fight a new war.
Cocaine seizure sets new record[34]

  • "Douglas Jaworski, 29, the star witness in a Montreal trial involving the largest cocaine seizure in Canadian history." "Jaworski has testified at the drug trial that in return for money, protection and immunity from prosecution, he agreed to become an informer for the RCMP about a major drug ring that was smuggling cocaine into Canada from Colombia." "He testified in Montreal that the RCMP had paid him $385,000 for his services. He said he wasn't broke when he went to the Mounties because he already had $435,000 in the bank." "But before he testified at the Montreal trial, he asked the Quebec courts to quash a subpoena requiring him to give evidence, saying the RCMP had failed to honor a commitment to provide security and financial compensation for his parents, even though there was "a real and substantial risk of physical harm to them or death."" "Jaworski argued that forcing him to testify would expose his parents "to the risk of being taken hostage, tortured and killed by members of the Colombian Medellin drug cartel," thereby breaching his parents' right to life, liberty and security of the person as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms."[36]

Trial

The trial of the arrested Colombians took place in Montreal, with Jaworski serving as the principal Crown witness.[37]

Cocky pilot always flew in the fast lane https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-hamilton-spectator/147164121/

By STEPHEN BINDMAN Southam News and CATHERINE BUCKIE Montreal Gazette OTTAWA - To a Montreal defence lawyer, Douglas Jaworski is nothing but a common criminal and a liar. But to the RCMP, he's a wellpaid informant who led them to the biggest cocaine seizure in Canadian history. And now he's also the worried son whose application to the Supreme Court of Canada sparked an unprecedented secret hearing this winter. The cocky, 28-year-old commercial pilot was the principal Crown witness in the Quebec superior court trial of three suspected members of the notorious Colombian Medellin cartel. The three were charged with conspiracy to import, export and traffic in cocaine in connection with the seizure of 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of cocaine, worth $250 million, in New Brunswick in April 1989.

Four months earlier, Jaworski had gone to the RCMP with a story about an imminent cocaine shipment to Canada in exchange for immunity from money-laundering and tax-evasion charges in the United States. Jaworski told the Montreal jury that incredulous RCMP officers first thought he was crazy. "I sat with (RCMP Corporal Keith Milner) for a half-hour and outlined what I knew. I think he thought I was nuts." Fast lane For most of his adult life, Jaworski has lived in the fast lane. By the time he was 20, he had helped a Bolivian smuggle three 80-kilogram No (175-pound) Miami.

Four years earned enough part of Fort Lauderdale. It was through met Diego Caceydo, a man described by a Crown prosecutor as "the Donald Trump" of the cocaine trade, the man the RCMP believe headed the organization that smuggled the 500 kilograms of cocaine into Canada. always flew stranger to the drug shipments of cocaine into criminal earnings and $400,000. later, in 1986, he had But as the money to become ing to a close, Banyon Air Service in have second thoughts. Realizing he Banyon that he fy in court, he "The Colombian drug cartel is known for its ruthless tactics of vengeance and reprisals against informers." Douglas Jaworski From January 1989, until the three on trial were arrested in Montreal during a police raid on their townhouse, Jaworski worked as a double agent.

Pretending to work for the cartel, he was also keeping the Mounties informed of his every move. Jaworski picked the isolated New Brunswick airstrip, planned the flight path from Colombia and convinced Caceydo there was no way his plane would be detected. But on April 3, when a plane loaded with cocaine crash-landed at Weyman Air Park in New Brunswick, the RCMP were waiting. All thanks to Jaworski. Although he was paid handsomely for his undercover services - $380,000, plus police protection Jaworski was already a rich man.

The nattily -dressed, ever-smiling pilot-turned-snitch testified he had so much money, he couldn't remember where it all was or how he had obtained it. He estimated his total in the trade between $300,000 operation was drawJaworski began to would have to testibegan to fear for his parents, who owned a 18- metre sailboat to take hotel guests on cruises. Caceydo knew where his parents lived - the Colombian had even left a message for him there as recently as February 1989. And Jaworski knew the drug lords didn't take kindly to informers. "The Colombian drug cartel is known for its ruthless tactics of vengeance and reprisals against informers," he said in an affidavit "Since the •Colombians are unable to locate me, I believe they will turn their attention to my parents, to torture and kill them as the only means available of making a reprisal against me." He says he was assured by the Mounties his parents would be protected and compensated for any loss they would suffer if they were forced to go into hiding and give up their business.

After the sting ended in April, he and two Mounties visited the Virgin Islands to tell his parents about his double life and to explain the risks. The Jaworskis led an apparently quiet life until September, when a heavily-armed hit team of South Americans was arrested in fast lane Edmunston, N.B., in a foiled plot to break the two pilots out of jail. One of the Colombians told the Mounties that Mr. Caceydo knew the identity of the informer and planned to kill "the informer, his wife and cat and dog." The RCMP immediately ordered the parents to come to Canada where the police could guard them closely. They left so quickly they forgot to take warm clothes.

It was then that the legal squabbling between the Jaworskis and the Mounties began in earnest. Virgin Islands At first, the RCMP even refused to compensate the couple for leaving their business. After a flurry of lawyers' letters, the RCMP agreed to some out-of-pocket expenses. After extensive interviews and consultations with American drug authorities, the RCMP concluded the risk to the Jaworskis in the Virgin Islands was minimal "and no greater than it in early April 1989" at the end of the drug operation. They were free to go home, the RCMP said.

With no sign of settlement in sight and their business in danger of collapsing, the Jaworskis returned to the Virgin Islands in late October. Douglas Jaworski threatened he wouldn't testify in court unless his parents were properly protected and compensated. The case made it all the way - in secret - to the Supreme Court of Canada. Yesterday, the top court revealed for the first time Douglas Jaworski's fight to protect his parents. A Quebec court finally ordered police protection for the elder Jaworskis.

"They're safe and sound," their relieved lawyer said yesterday..

Convictions

In November 1989, Galindo-Escobar and Mendoza-Jaramillo were convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison for their roles in the smuggling operation.[6]

Attempted jailbreak

  • "Canadian police Thursday disclosed the arrest of four South Americans near the U.S. border carrying automatic weapons and 9-millimeter pistols amid growing fears that the Medellin cocaine cartel will attempt to retaliate against a U.S.-backed crackdown on Colombian drug kingpins." "Their arsenal included an Uzi submachine gun, Soviet and Israeli assault rifles and a Japanese grenade that was deactivated. Maps of several Canadian locations and an unmarked map of Maine were found in the cars, [Delbert Pelletier] said in an interview." "A defector from a Colombian paramilitary unit working for the Medellin cartel testified before the subcommittee Wednesday, saying among other things that [Bush] and subcommittee members could be targeted by the Colombian drug outlaws." "The four, traveling in three cars, were arrested Wednesday by police from Edmundston, New Brunswick, and were found to be carrying Venezuelan passports, two of which were determined to be fake, according to Edmundston's deputy police chief, Delbert Pelletier." "Although a grenade, tear gas, zap guns and a machete were found in the vehicles along with more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition for the weapons, a highly placed U.S. law enforcement source said: "It's not our belief that this is any kind of hit squad.""[38]

Aftermath

Operation Overstep was part of "Project Amigo", a task force established by police in Ontario.[39]

In June 2010, Fernando Augusto Mendoza Jaramillo, one of the Colombian pilots involved in the smuggling bust, was murdered when a group of armed men waited for him to arrive at his farm in Cumaral, a municipality located in Colombia's Meta Department.[40]

The operation was later adapted into a theatrical play Cocaine Plane!, which was presented in early March 2015.[41]

Canada, too, wants a drug suspect extradited https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times/147166489/
 Associated Press FREDERICTON, New Brunswick - The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have asked Colombia to extradite a man they believe is the Medellin drug cartel's chief organizer of cocaine exports to Canada. Diego Caycedo of Medellin, Colombia, was charged in absentia in a Fredericton court with conspiracy to import cocaine between June 1988 and April 1989. Canada doesn't have an extradition treaty with Colombia. "However, recent tragic events in Colombia may alter this situation," the Mounties said in a news release Tuesday. Colombia began cracking down on the drug cartel last Friday after the assassinations of a leading presidential candidate, a police colonel and a magistrate..
RCMP hoping to extradite Canada's connection https://www.newspapers.com/article/alberni-valley-times/147166549/
FREDERICTON (CP) - RCMP have asked Colombia to extradite a man alleged to be the Medellin drug cartel's chief organizer of cocaine exports to Canada. Diego Caycedo of Medellin, Colombia, was charged in absentia Tuesday with conspiracy to import cocaine between June 1988 and April 1989. Canada doesn't have an extradition treaty with the South American country. "However, recent tragic events in Colombia may alter this situation," the RCMP said in a news release. The Colombian government began cracking down on the drug cartel last week following the assassinations of a leading presidential candidate, a police colonel and a magistrate.
About 11,000 people have been arrested and large amounts of cocaine have been seized. As part of the crackdown, Colombian President Virgilio Barco signed a decree empowering the government to summarily extradite suspected traffickers without approval by Colombia's judges, many of whom have been threatened or killed by hitmen. The Mounties hope the decree will bring Caycedo to Canada. TRAFFIC CONTROL Caycedo, about 37, is not believed to have come to Canada personally, police said. Rather, he allegedly administered the traffic from Colombia.
The charge against Caycedo is based partly on the the seizure last April of 500 kilograms of cocaine from an airplane that flew directly from Colombia to a makeshift airstrip at Mouth of Keswick, about 40 kilometres from the New Brunswick capital. The twin-engine Aero Commander clipped a tree and crashRCMP, who had infiltrated the drug ring, tracked the plane up the East Coast and were waiting. They arrested the two Colombian men on board and seized the cocaine. Substituting icing sugar for the drug, they feigned a delivery to three Colombians in a Montreal townhouse. Police had hoped to follow the chain of delivery all the way to New York, but had to scrap that plan when one of the three Montreal connections insisted on sniffing the goods.
Eleven people in Toronto were also arrested as a result of the investigation, but all but one were released without being charged..

University of New Brunswick Saint John (UNBSJ or UNB Saint John) is a satellite campus of the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Saint John, New Brunswick. One of the two campuses of UNB, UNBSJ is the smaller campus and opened in 1964.

The campus is located east of Millidgeville, next to the Saint John Regional Hospital. It has 55 undergraduate programs.[1]

History

UNB's presence in Saint John dates back to 1923 when the Saint John Law School, established in 1892, became part of UNB. In 1953, the law school moved to the Starr Residence, known today as Beaverbrook House, which is still operated by UNBSJ. Eventually, after nearly forty years of remaining in Saint John, it relocated to the main campus in Fredericton.

Starting in 1951, UNB offered summer extension courses in Saint John High School and St. Vincent's Convent, which proved to be successful. This highlighted the existing demand for higher education in Saint John, which had been recognized by the city's Board of Trade as early as 1947. In 1959, there was a growing interest in establishing a college in Saint John, and a group called "Saint John College Development Incorporated" began advocating for a postsecondary institution in the city. However, the proposal faced skepticism due to UNB's financial challenges and the perceived surplus of degree-granting institutions in New Brunswick.

During this discussion, the City of Saint John provided the site of a former 229-acre farm on Sandy Point Road. The location was deemed advantageous due to its views, services, and its position in a rapidly developing area of the city. In September 1964, Beaverbrook House reopened as a satellite campus of UNB, enrolling 100 students. Over time, UNB Saint John expanded its operations to various locations, including the Old Provincial Building, the New Brunswick Technology Institute, the Presbyterian Church Hall, the YMCA building, as well as various high schools. Faculty recruitment posed a challenge, with many commuting from Fredericton or hired from high schools.

Simultaneously, plans for a new campus on the Tucker Park site progressed, with UNB's consulting architects, Larson and Larson, tasked with preparing a concept plan. The initial construction cost was $1,350,000,[2] which was part of a $10 million fundraising campaign led by UNB. In the same year, G. Forbes Elliot took the role as UNB Saint John's first principal. In 1965, the City of Saint John transferred ownership of 87 acres of land for the new campus.[3] Construction on the Tucker Park campus began in 1966, and the site officially opened in 1969, featuring Hazen Hall, Ganong Hall, and the Ward Chipman Library.

The campus expanded over the next two decades, constructing the G. Forbes Elliot Athletics Centre in 1975, the Canada Games Stadium in 1985, and the Thomas J. Condon Student Centre in 1986. Despite these developments, UNBSJ was considered a commuter campus until 1993, following the construction of the Sir James Dunn Residence. Additional buildings were constructed over subsequent years, such as the K.C. Irving Hall,[2] the Modern Languages Centre (now home to Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick),[4] the Dr. Colin B. Mackay Residence,[5] and the Hans W. Klohn Commons.[6]

Canadian Syrup Inc., otherwise known as Steeves Maples, is a Canadian maple syrup company based in Elgin, a small village located in Albert County, New Brunswick. The company was established in 1869 and has worldwide distribution.

History

Steeves Maples began doing business in 1869 in Elgin, New Brunswick,[2] though members of the family have been in the industry there as early as 1825,[3] with festivals being held there annually.[4] John Steeves, the founder, used iron pots he received in exchange for lumber to create maple sugar by boiling the sap from sugar maple trees. Steeves followed business practices once done by the Mi'kmaq, beginning to trade his produce around the area and in nearby Moncton. As his business would be passed down generations, more trees in Elgin would start being tapped. Steeves Maples became the largest maple production company in New Brunswick within its third generation of ownership,[2] continuing to produce maple syrup in their Elgin plant.[5] Their products are commonly sold in Maritime grocery stores,[6] while also becoming distributed worldwide by the 21st century.[2]

In early 2001, maple syrup produced in Quebec was at risk of being boycotted in Vermont due to utilizing banned pesticide products. The alternative producers were those based in New Brunswick, including Steeves Maples, who refrained from using them.[7] In the 2000's, the company participated in a provincial business agreement that saw their trade be expanded into China.[8] In November 2008, the company also participated in an Atlantic Canadian trade mission in Chicago.[9] In 2009, their processing plant, located inside of a barn, was destroyed by fire.[5] At the time, the company employed 15 people at its rural plant,[10] with the fire having to be extinguished by six different firefighting departments.[11]
