Hundreds of donated teddy bears were laid outside the Parliament Buildings in Victoria (British Columbia's capital) in memory of the grizzly & black bears killed for trophy in the Great Bear Rainforest. Two dozen people gathered in the pouring rain in hopes of convincing the Provincial Government to end trophy bear hunting.

The kermode bear (pronounced ker-mode-ee), aka spirit bear or ghost bear, is a subspecies of the North American black bear that possesses a rare recessive gene that causes their fur to grow cream or white. They are not albino, as they have a pigment in their skin and eyes that differentiates them from albinos. For example, they lack pink eyes and have a darker skin color under their pale fur. These oddities are found on the islands of Gribbell, Princess Royal, and Roderick, in British Columbia. Kermode bears are not currently evaluated by the IUCN.
First the Stats...
Scientific name: Ursus americanus kermodei
Weight: Up to 805 lbs.
Length: Up to 6.6 feet
Height: Up to 3 feet
Lifespan: Up to 25+ years
Now on to the Facts!
1.) These bears feast on berries, bulbs, forbs, fruits, grasses, nuts, insects, mice, rats, voles, moles, gophers, deer fawns, moose calves, salmon, and carrion (dead animals).
2.) These bears are the official provincial mammal of British Columbia and the symbol of Terrace, British Columbia.
3.) They were named after Frank Kermode, former director of the Royal B.C. Museum, who researched the subspecies and was also a colleague of William Hornaday, the zoologist who described them.
4.) In what is known as positive assortative mating, black kermode bears tend to breed only with black kermode bears and the white/cream bears breed only with other white/cream bears.

'Mylecharaine', a three act play in Anglo-Manx dialect by Cushag. It was first published by S. K. Broadbend in Douglas, Isle of Man, in 1915.
As for all three of her 'Peel Plays' published in 1908, Cushag has taken her theme from Manx folk traditions.
'Mylecharaine' was one of the most popular and well-known Manx folk songs. Although widely known, it was first collected by A. W. Moore in his 1896 book, 'Manx Ballads and Music', where it was produced in both the Manx original and in an English translation. (A less antiquainted translation is available in Robert Corteen Carswell's excellent, 'Manannan's Cloak: An Anthology of Manx Literature').
(The tune for this song was, interestingly, the starting place for the Manx National Anthem, which was written W. H. Gill and first performed in 1907).
The song is a call response between a daughter and her father, named Mylecharaine (a common Manx surname). It revolves around Mylecharaine's miserly ways, despite having a store of wealth, which he got from "in the Curragh, deep, deep enough". It carries the refrain after every line, "My-lomarcan daag oo mee" / "Alone you left me".
Cushag takes on this rather dark theme and spins a nice narrative around it. She interestingly manages to get a happy ending out of it, by placing the song half-way through, when all seems lost, before it is all regained in the final Act.
The play has some wonderful Manx characterisations - something that Cushag is a master of - and some very nice exchanges in a pleasing Manx dialect. However, the play overall is disappointingly executed, particularly in the final Act (and, startingly, in the sleep-talking scene of Act II, which couldn't possibly work on stage today).
Anyone looking to get a taste of Manx theatre would be well advised to come to Cushag, but a better impression might be made by looking first at her 'Peel Plays', perhaps in particular, 'Lazy Wife'.

Trenchant opinion, hilarious autobiographical anecdotes, passionate personal prejudices, entertaining diversions and scathing sardonic humour ensued.
