Lower dam work to start Monday Construction expected to cost between $2.8M and $4.6M, but contract was awarded as cost-plus SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Work on a new spillway at the lower dam in Colliery Dams Park begins Monday, with some parts of the surrounding park slated to be closed throughout construction. Council voted at a special meeting last week to award a contract to Copcan Civil Ltd. to construct the auxiliary spillway, after threats of enforcement action
from the provincial Comptroller of Water Rights. The work will bring the lower dam into line with provincial safety regulations, but the issue has stoked deep divisions on city council and resentment from some park users. The construction is expected to cost between $2.8 million and $4.6 million, but the contract has been awarded as cost-plus, meaning that there is no set
dollar amount awarded to the contractor. That’s due to delays in design work on the project, which has not yet been completed. The project has been a political wedge amongst city legislators for months, ending finally last week with a 5-3 vote to award the contract. With that step complete, work will begin to clear the site of the new spillway, which will be locat-
ed a few metres away from the main spillway on the dam. Tree removal to make way for the dam will begin Tuesday, while construction set-up area will be located off of 7th Street. An alternate public access route into the park will also be set up off of 7th Street. The city also says that when construction begins, signage at the park will indicate when the trail network around the lower
dam is closed. An alternate route near the middle Colliery dam will be set up and crews with flags will be in the park to direct people away from the construction zone. Protesters have indicated they will be present at the site as construction begins. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

Pot stores call warning letters ‘election ploy’
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
O
perators of a number of medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Nanaimo think that the federal government is playing politics with the industry. Robert Clarke, who operates five Limelife medical cannabis dispensaries, said the decision by Health Canada to send out cease-and-desist letters to a number of medicinal marijuana dispensaries across the country is a blatant effort by the ruling Conservatives to garner votes for the upcoming federal election. Clarke said he believes the move is an “election ploy” by Stephen Harper to try to get “old-timers” to vote for the government as the prime minister realizes his chances of winning re-election are growing increasingly slim. Anita Roy, the assistant manager at Trees Dispensary on Bowen Road, said she also thinks the cease-and-desist letters are part of the Conservative’s election strategy to “get tough” on the country’s growing medicinal marijuana industry. “We’re hoping for a new government that is not Conservative, but even if Harper is re-elected, he can’t continue to go against the tide on this issue,” Roy said. “Sooner or later, this prohibition will end no matter which party forms the government in Canada.” Health Canada has sent out the cease-and-desist letters to 13 marijuana dispensaries and compassion clubs across the country, warning the RCMP could raid them if they do not shut down

immediately, even those in cities where local police have mostly tolerated them. The department is demanding the dispensaries stop “all activities with controlled substances” immediately and submit a written statement confirming this action by Sept. 21. The threat is the first indication that Ottawa is prepared to intervene directly to shut down Canada’s storefront dispensaries. “The sale and advertising of marijuana is illegal,” the letter says. “You are encouraging Canadians to engage in conduct that could also expose them to criminal liability.” Roy said the Trees Dispensary wants the industry to be properly regulated and would welcome rules to govern it by Health Canada and other authorities. “We want to be able to guarantee the quality and safety of our products for our customers.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234 » We want to hear from you.

TOURISM
Numbers show sector still strong Most indicators favourable for the month, except buses, which remain down after service pared down DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Tourism remains buoyant in Nanaimo, new industry numbers reveal. Hotel operators enjoyed a 79.4 per cent occupancy rate in July, a 4.4-per cent jump from the same month a year ago. That’s in the latest report from Chemistry, the Victoria-based tourism consulting firm that tracks the industry on Vancouver Island.
Most other indicators were favourable for the month, except buses, which remain down since Greyhound drastically pared back service in many markets. Ferry traffic continues an upward trend started earlier this year, with passenger counts up nine per cent on the Duke Point-Tsawwassen route and 5.2 per cent on the more popular Departure-Horseshoe bay route. Vehicle traffic rose 8.4 per cent
on the Duke Point run and 4.3 per cent on the Departure Bay route. Air passengers continued to soar, with Nanaimo Airport reporting a 20.8 per cent yearover-year increase in July, for a 15.1 per cent increase since January. Use of Vancouver Island Conference Centre dipped three per cent in July — usually a slow month for the industry, but year-

to-date performance doubles last year’s figures, with 12,324 delegate-days of use, compared to 6,585 in the first seven months of 2014. “It’s a perfect storm in our favour,� said Dan Brady, a Tourism Leadership Committee member with the Nanaimo Economic Development Corp. A low Canadian dollar attracts U.S. visitors, said Brady, who also manages the Harbourside How-
ard Johnson Hotel. “And people in Canada are staying in Canada. And for some reason the rate resistance to fares of BC Ferries has gone away. The numbers speak for themselves.� Brady expects the trend to continue for August figures when they’re released. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

El Nino impacts on Island still uncertain AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district now needs to know how many secondary students in Cedar intend to go the Cedar Secondary School when it reopens. [DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO]
Cedar secondary students asked about return to CSS ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Secondary students in Cedar will soon be contacted by the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district and asked where they intend to attend school next year. The school board decided last April to re-open Cedar Secondary School in September, 2016. The school was closed by the previous board in the spring of 2014 in an effort to deal with decreasing enrolment in the district and to save money. Most of the approximately 450 students who attended CSS when it closed went to John Barsby or Ladysmith secondary schools, and the district provided busing to the schools. The district now needs to know how many secondary students in Cedar intend to go the CSS when it reopens so they can begin determining grade configuration scenarios and whether a Grade 12 program at the school is feasible for the 2016 opening.
RAE
School board chairman Steve Rae said some of the Cedar students may choose to stay in the schools where they currently are next year to finish high school, to be close to friends, or for other reasons. “We’re not sure of what the attendance will be at CSS next year and it’s all speculation at this point,� he said. “But there’s no question that the school will be full again in the years after that because the
community in Cedar made it very clear to us that they want their kids to attend high school in their neighbourhood.� Rae said the district plans to discontinue the bus service that is currently transporting Cedar secondary students to John Barsby and Ladysmith secondary schools at the end of this school year. School district spokesman Dale Burgos said the district is under “tight timelines� for the surveys to be completed so staff can assess the students numbers at CSS for next year and determine staffing levels and grade configurations. “We’re hoping to contact the students by the end of next week so we can have a plan for CSS ready to present to the board at the education committee meeting on Oct. 7,� Burgos said.

An extreme El Nino and the Pacific blob could mean a warmer than average winter for the central Vancouver Island region. El Nino is a band of warm ocean water that develops in the Pacific. The Pacific blob is another large mass of warm water off the coast of North America. This will be the first year on record when both a super El Nino and Pacific blob will coexist in the same season. The requirements for an El Nino is a water temperature a half-degree warmer than the average. The predicted winter El Nino is estimated to be two degrees above average, which classifies as extreme. The water temperature is good indication of the forecast, said Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips. “Unlike air temperatures that are there today and gone tomorrow, and can change between one extreme to the other, water temperatures stay the course. If it’s warmer water now it will be there next week, next month, next season and maybe two seasons.â€? Phillips said. One would expect, Phillips added, that the Pacific blob and El Nino would work together to create an even warmer winter, but since it’s never happened before it’s hard to be 100 per cent certain. “One wild card is the Pacific blob. It’s there. It’s been there for two years and it’s never been in that situation where we’ve had an El Nino and Pacific blob. “Will this be a wrestling match? Will they be buddies and absolutely turn British Columbia into the tropics or will they be fighting each other, cancelling each other out? “The problem is, with all that said, we don’t know.â€? Phillips believes that the upcoming winter will be similar to a winter we had in 1997/1998. The average temperature through the winter months for the central Island is 4.1ÂşC.
“I wouldn’t bet the family farm on it but I’m saying you would make some money betting on a milder winter with less snow,.� David Phillips, climatologist
The average snowfall is about 80 centimetres and average rain is 692 millimetres. In the 1997/1998 winter, we had 18 centimetres of snow, 735 millimetres of rain and an average temperature of 5.5ÂşC. “I wouldn’t bet the family farm on it but I’m saying you would make some money betting on a milder winter with less snow,â€? Phillips said. That doesn’t bode well for skiers hoping to ride fresh powder at Mount Washington. Mount Washington Ski Resort director of business operations Don Sharpe said he doesn’t want to talk about last year and is staying optimistic about this winter, adding that a difference between one or two degrees can make a huge impact in the higher elevations. “People trying to predict one degree temperature change is pretty hard to do,â€? Sharpe said. Phillips used data from stations based at a lower elevation than the Mount Washington summit. He too said rain on the ground doesn’t necessarily mean rain in the mountains. “You could be getting rain at the lower elevations because it’s milder but you could be getting snow at the higher elevations even though it will be milder,â€?

CRIME
Two men face charges after Mounties make drug bust DAILY NEWS
Fentanyl, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine were seized and two men were arrested in a drug bust by Nanaimo RCMP earlier this week. One of the men was arrested again a day later on suspicion of trafficking. On Wednesday, RCMP officers
seized three grams of suspected methamphetamine, about 15 grams of crack and powder cocaine, three grams of suspected heroin and three grams of a substance believed to be fentanyl. RCMP projects unit members arrested a 42-year-old and a 19-year-old man. They now face charges of
possession for the purpose of trafficking. Both men were released on promises to appear in Nanaimo provincial court. On Thursday, the 19-year-old was again arrested, and cash seized after he was reportedly seen involved in a drug deal. He remains in police custody awaiting a court hearing.
Police say they target drug trafficking to reduce other crimes. “We know that many of the property crimes such as breakand-enters, thefts from cars, shoplifting and car thefts investigated by police are committed by people in an effort to feed their addictions,� said Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman.

Syria crisis response calls for compassion
I
n ancient times the stranger had an almost sacred status for various reasons that continue to be probed by historians and anthropologists. Someone stumbling into a village or settlement, obviously from afar and not speaking the local language, might be anyone — even a divine or threatening presence — but was regardless provided with food and shelter. Our ancestors also had another good reason to give the stranger aid; they knew that a moment’s notice they could be next, forced into exile and in need of the help they were once willing to give. The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football
in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach. But this is a matter, to recall to our ancient forbears, is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world — that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, is ample evidence of that. Canada, not its politicians, needs to respond in a way that allows us to alleviate as much suffering as possible arising from this tragedy in Syria. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese ‘boat people’ were taken in by this country.
Compassion has to supercede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond. While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response. It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue. We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.
And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same hype and glamour, still also need our attention. For example, Statistics Canada’s 2011 census states that more than 3,000 young people in Nanaimo are living in poverty — 21.3 per cent of those are six and under. This number is up from 18.5 per cent in 2006. Though not a new issue with celebrity spokespeople, local organizations doing their part to address it still need our support. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially
as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue. But when the hype dies down, the trick is to remember our long-term commitments to both global and local issues, whether they’re glamorous or not. Given current trends highlighted by the election, it does not seem those issues — local or global — are going to go away anytime soon. We are limited in what we can do, but the key is to act with compassion and empathy when we can, and leave the politics to the politicians. » We want to hear from you.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Tories have had years to deliver project funding The Sept. 11 front-page story and editorial about a promise of funding for a foot ferry are made to look like this is an announcement of government funding. It is not. We are in the midst of an election campaign. This is just a campaign promise based on knowledge that it’s a goody the riding really wants. We all know how much weight such promises bear. When you think of it, any of the candidates in the riding could have made that promise, as a fast ferry link to Vancouver would fit neatly into any of their parties’ platforms. However the Conservative party have already had years of opportunity to deliver the funding for the project and haven’t done so. To Mayor Bill McKay and fellow citizens, don’t be fooled. John Carver Nanaimo
Foot ferry looks like another ‘wonder project’ Has anyone seen their business plan? How much will the tickets cost?
Is the City of Nanaimo planning financial or infrastructure assistance? I’m afraid this looks like another Nanaimo wonder project like the convention centre and the cruise ship terminal. A federal government should be subsidizing the BC Ferries system, not aiding a new competitor, but a one-time gift of $14 million is a lot cheaper than the annual subsidy Vancouver Islanders deserve. Brian Parkinson Nanaimo
Meeting attendance an example of democracy Re: ‘Tory Candidate not restricted to comment’ (Daily News, Sept. 3) “Muzzled” is a strong word to apply to the campaign being conducted by Mark MacDonald who does knock on doors, and organizes “coffee meetings” proving he’s at least out and about. It was an email written by his campaign manager, Glen McPherson, that was so prescriptive in what MacDonald would not be doing that suggested he was on a very short leash indeed, hence “muzzled,” resulting in generally anti-Conservative policy reactions
published in the Nanaimo Daily News, Gabriola Sounder, Island Tides, Toronto Star, and Ottawa Citizen as well as the Victoria Times Colonist where McPherson’s e-mail resulted in both an article and a follow-up editor’s opinion piece the following day. But there is a bottom line that goes beyond the back and forth of “muzzled” semantics. Will MacDonald, the Conservative candidate for Nanaimo-Ladysmith be attending the all-candidates meeting organized by the Gabriola Island Rate Payers Association scheduled for Sept. 19? In the light of the previously negative press reactions, reconsidering an earlier refusal might not be a bad idea for his campaign. He also would be setting a fine example for Stephen Harper. But MacDonald does need to have a heart-to-heart with his campaign manager to make sure they’re on the same page this time. If he decides to attend this meeting after all, that will be a good example of democracy in action.
problems in Africa and the Middle East seem oddly devoid of the huge part the present Canadian government has played in creating this crisis. A great many of those people attempting to cross the Mediterranean from Libya were dispossessed when Canadian CF-18s bombed their homes three years ago. Those bombers were sent with the full consent of Trudeau’s Liberals and Layton’s NDP voting in lock-step with the Conservatives. Libyans never offered any threat to Canada. SNC Lavalin, our largest engineering firm, had been working there over 15 years. Canada should certainly make some amends toward the people whose lives we’ve disrupted and destroyed. We should not expect them to be particularly grateful.

Suspect sought after exposing self to runners Saanich Police are seeking a man who exposed himself to a pair of runners on the Lochside Regional Trail on Wednesday. At approximately 5 p.m., a 25-year-old woman and a 28-yearold woman were running together on the trail when the unidentified man, running north, pulled his pants down and exposed his genitals to both women. The suspect is described as a white man, 35 to 40 years of age, approximately six foot one, heavy set, with a larger belly and short brown hair. The suspect was wearing a dark coloured T-shirt and dark shorts. Anyone with information about the identity of the suspect in this incident are asked to contact Saanich Police at 250-475-4321.

Minor injuries after car slams into beauty salon A vehicle slammed into a beauty salon in Chase River shortly before noon Wednesday. A 67-year-old woman was behind the wheel of a vehicle that crashed through the plate glass window at Be Beautiful Day Spa and Salon at 1273 South Island Highway at 11:46 a.m. Police arrived and “they found a silver PT Cruiser had gone through the front entrance,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP detachment. The driver and passenger were taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and the driver was treated for minor injuries. Upon her release the driver was issued a violation ticket for driving without due care and attention. Investigators found no skid marks or other signs of braking on the scene. A passenger could only remember the vehicle pulling into the parking stall, not the crash.
COURTS
Some bail conditions for Omar Khadr are relaxed Curfew is being eased so he can attend night classes at NAIT in Edmonton CHRIS PURDY THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — A judge has agreed to ease some bail conditions for former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr and is considering other changes that would increase his freedoms. Khadr’s curfew is being eased so he can attend night classes at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton, where he plans to study to become an emergency medical technician. He can also leave home earlier in the morning for religious prayers. The federal government is not opposing the changes, which also include allowing Khadr to stay with friends in Alberta if permitted by his bail supervisor. He is currently required to live with one of his lawyers, Dennis Edney, and not leave Alberta except to stay at Edney’s vacation home in B.C.
KHADR
Khadr’s lawyers argued in court Friday that he has complied with his bail conditions for the last four months and most of the restrictions are no longer needed. “Mr. Khadr is getting on with his life, as he should do,” Edney told reporters outside the courthouse. “Overwhelmingly people stop him, speak to him. They’re not
intrusive and they welcome him back. We have not had one single problem.” Khadr stood beside Edney and smiled but declined to speak. Edney says the 29-year-old doesn’t want to be a public figure. “He wants to live quietly and be just an ordinary person.” The Toronto-born Khadr was 15 when he was captured following a firefight in Afghanistan in 2002. He became the youngest prisoner and lone Westerner at the time to be held in Guantanamo. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to several war crimes, including the murder of an American soldier. A United States military commission sentenced him to another eight years behind bars. He was transferred home to Canada in 2012. Khadr later said he only pleaded guilty to get out of the notorious prison and appealed his conviction in the U.S.
IMMIGRATION
Only Canada charges refugees interest on travel loans: Advocates LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Canada is the only country in the world to charge interest to refugees on travel loans, saddling struggling newcomers with debt as they try to rebuild their lives, advocates say. The federal government requires privately sponsored and government-assisted refugees to pay for their own travel costs and overseas medical exams and will loan families up to $10,000. “Refugees are desperate and eager to repay the loan, as a small gesture of tremendous gratitude and appreciation to the government,” said Chris Friesen of the Immigration Services Society of British Columbia. “But at what cost?” Friesen said families are using
Cops say man lured teenage girls online SAANICH NEWS
Victoria police are advising parents to speak with their children about staying safe online after a man was charged with 13 offences after allegedly attempting to lure underage teenage girls. A 28-year-old Victoria man faces three counts of luring a child under the age of 14, two counts of luring a child under the age of 18, four counts of communicating/obtaining sexual services of a person under the age of 18, two counts of uttering threats, and three counts of breaching probation. He has been remanded in custody. Investigators have so far confirmed five female victims, ranging from 12 to 17 years of age. While none of the victims were physically harmed, Special Victims Unit detectives see this incident as an occasion to remind parents and teens of what it takes to be careful online, particularly when it comes to geolocation settings for online photos, mapping features on social media sites, and a reminder to be wary of accepting friend requests from someone you do not know.
Grizzly bear mauling puts hunter in hospital THE CANADIAN PRESS
YELLOWKNIFE — A grizzly bear has mauled a hunter in the Northwest Territories. RCMP say a man was hunting for a moose with a guide Thursday in the Mackenzie Mountains northwest of Yellowknife when the bear surprised them and suddenly attacked. The bear pulled the hunter down an embankment. Police say he was seriously hurt with multiple injuries before the guide fired a shot which stopped the attack and scared the bear away. The injured hunter was taken by helicopter for treatment in Norman Wells and was then sent to a hospital in Yellowknife.
more of their food money to pay down the debt. He said some countries, including the United States and Australia, require refugees to pay back loans for travel costs but don’t charge interest. About 91 per cent of refugees pay back the loans, including Samer Aldhmad, a Syrian father of five living in Surrey, B.C., who repaid $7,019.47 in less than a year using his child tax benefit. But Aldhmad said he’s just grateful to be living in Canada. In Lebanon, where his family first moved after fleeing Syria, he had to pay for his children’s education. “I was paying $1,500 to pay for each kid to go to school. It was too much and I still needed to pay for the rent,” he said through a translator.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada said in a statement that refugees typically have few financial resources and are unable to access traditional lending institutions. “The Immigration Loans Program provides them with access to funding that would otherwise not be available,” the emailed statement said. The Canadian Council for Refugees estimates that Canada could absorb refugees’ transportation and medical expenses at a cost of about $13 to $15 million annually, and forgive current outstanding loans for about $38 million. Executive director Janet Dench said many refugees take minimum-wage jobs to pay down the debt instead of getting further education or learning English or French.
HUGE INVENTORY BLOWOUT SALE
Justice June Ross agreed to bail in May, pending the appeal. On Friday, she reserved her decision on Khadr’s other requests to visit family in the Toronto area and to get rid of the electronic monitoring bracelet strapped to his left ankle. The judge said she wants to see a report from Khadr’s bail supervisor. The hearing is to continue next Friday. Khadr’s other lawyer, Nathan Whitling, told court that Khadr wants to see his grandparents, who are ill and whom he hasn’t seen since he was a child. He wants to be able to visit them, unsupervised, and also wants to see his three brothers and a sister. Whitling said Khadr’s mother and another sister, who have expressed pro-al-Qaida views in the past, are not currently in Canada and Khadr’s Toronto visit wouldn’t include them.

BCHL PREVIEW
FOOTBALL IN BRIEF Daily News
Can the Clippers go all the way?
â—† JUNIOR
Raiders off bye week, travel to play Okanagan
Led by top-tier wingers, solid defencemen, a Fred Page Cup should be expected
W
hen the Penticton Vees scored in overtime of Game 6 of the B.C. Hockey League finals in April to win the Fred Page Cup, Sheldon Rempal was on the ice. Most thought it would be the last time he would play at Frank Crane Arena, as mass exodus of players from a very good Clippers team were either set to age out of junior hockey or leave early for U.S. college hockey scholarships. But plans changed, and Rempal — the team’s leading goal scorer with 29 last season — returns to Nanaimo for his final year. It all begins today as the Clippers play the first of back-toback games in Powell River to kick off the regular season and the defence of their division championship. Power forward Devin Brosseau is back, as team captain, along with Yanni Kaldis, who will be expected to be one of the top defencemen in the BCHL this season. All three were expected to be gone. But as their plans changed, so did the expectations of the club. With five defencemen ready to return from last season’s Island Division champion Clippers, as well as a host of talented new recruits, this is a group that should be expecting to get back to the BCHL finals, and this time move on. The only obstacle in their way, of course, is the same one that stood their a year ago — the Penticton Vees. And although the Vees lost the league’s top

Scott McKenzie Scott’s Thoughts goaltender from 2014-15, they bring back forward Tyson Jost and defenceman Dante Fabbro, both of whom are expected to be first-round NHL draft picks next summer. But the Clippers need not worry about the Vees, at least not yet. What they need to worry about now is, outside of Brosseau and Rempal’s expected production, where their goals are going to come from. After the departures of three of their four regular centres (Brendan Taylor, Cole Maier and Anthony Rinaldi), as well as wingers Nick Carrier, Jake Jackson, Jacob Hanlon and Ryan Forbes and Brett Roulston, the Clippers give up 146 goals from
last season’s roster that, in total, scored 235 times — the most in the BCHL, by far. But such is life in junior hockey, and like every other team the Clippers simply need to deal with it. Head coach and general manager Mike Vandekamp has brought in a lot of talent. Some of it is proven, some if it is fresh. Centre Matt Hoover comes to the Clippers with 47 games of Junior A experience in Ontario, while Chris Dodero arrives with 140 U.S. Hockey League games under his belt. On the other hand, production will be expected from players coming right out of midget and high school hockey, as is the case with D.J. Petruzzelli, Chris Smith and Charley Borek. Those players are going to be expected, and needed to produce offence in a league that demands it. Luckily, if the offence doesn’t show up right away, there is plenty of experience on the back
end — enough to mitigate any early scoring troubles. For a unit that last year was a question mark at the beginning of the season, the return of players like Kaldis, a second-team all-star last season, as well as veterans Ed Hookenson, Kale Bennett and Ryan Coghlan in the fold, there’s no reason not to expect the Nanaimo defence to be among the best in the league. The last line of defence, however, remains a question mark. Jonathan Reinhart was signed out of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League, regarded as the top Junior B circuit in the country. But the BCHL is widely ranked as the best Junior A league in Canada, so Reinhart has some experience to gain. Vandekamp also brought in 16-year-old Jakob Walter, a highly-regarded prospect taken in the WHL bantam draft by the Kootenay Ice. Vandekamp had alluded to finding a playing partner for Reinhart — not a back-up — so it remains to be seen how many games Walter will get. Whatever questions there are for the Clippers, there is no question the expectations are high for the team that had the Fred Page Cup in its own building last season, but failed to win it. With the talent that’s been assembled, there is no reason why this season can’t end differently.  Scott McKenzie is the sports editor at the Nanaimo Daily News.

The Vancouver Island Raiders will attempt to do today what no other B.C. Football Conference team has done during the 2015 season — beat the Okanagan Sun. The Raiders, tied for second place with the Kamloops Broncos, take on the Sun in Kelowna today at 1 p.m., with a pay-perview video stream of the game being shown at okanagansun.ca. Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman said they key to beating the Sun will be containing them. “I thought we played them pretty tough the first time they came down,� he said. “(We will emphasize) fundamentals and stopping the big play. I really, truly believe that’s the way to stop Okanagan.�

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You like to keep your interactions and thoughts as positive as you can. However, some negative feelings could arise from out of the blue. You might feel awkward trying to keep the lid on an emotional display. You can do only so much. Tonight: Get into a favorite pastime. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will notice all the feelings and emotional expressions that surround you. In some way, this will help you feel more secure. Reach out to a child or loved one who seems to want more of a connection with you. Make plans with this person ASAP. Tonight: Let it all hang out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. You might not be able to break out of a certain mood. Of all the signs, you tolerate feeling restricted the least. Your drive and determination will take you into a new realm of emotions. Tonight: Stay close to home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sense of direction helps others. If you can contain your feelings a little more, you will be more helpful to someone who does not understand his or her changing moods. You are a champ at handling raw emotion. Show off your skills. Tonight: Help a friend let go. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be at your wits’ end with a friend or loved one. You simply cannot seem to identify with this person’s issues. You are much more self-confident and see life differently from how he or she sees it. Do your best to be kind and open. Tonight: Make it your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You feel

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Read between the lines, and you will see a personal matter differently. You will enjoy yourself much more if you try to understand what the other party is really saying.

ast won the ace to return the ten of clubs. Declarer elected to play low as West scored the jackandcashedtheking.With the heart king onside, South could drive out the ace of spades to earn nine tricks and the game bonus, N-S +400. West had found the best lead, to be sure, but the club suit was blocked. The play would be more interesting if he had selectedthejackofclubsasan opening shot especially when East hops with the ace to fire back the ten. This beginning might lead East to conclude that South holds the king and queen of clubs. He might, therefore, play low to prevent declarer from scoring two club tricks. South would gratefully grab the queen and take a heart finesse as his only chance of success. A heart lead would prove ineffective because South can bring home the entire suit by winning the nine to continue with the queen for the king and ace. A third round finesse of dummy’s six-spot will give South ten red-suit tricks. The minor suit game comes home because the heart king is onside but there was no chance that N-S would reach this exalted contract. It is very likely that West earned his side an equitable matchpoint award by choosing thedeuceofclubsasan opening lead.

PREMIER CROSSWORD SOLUTION
Ignore neighbour complaints if you aren’t making noise Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My husband and I live in a single-story condo that is adjacent to another condo. We have been dealing with a horrible neighbour for seven months. When I moved here three years ago, the neighbour’s son was taking care of her condo, since she travelled a great deal for work. Now she has decided to work at home, and she is a tyrant. She is constantly complaining that she hears our garage door, that our vacuum is too loud and that we run our dishwasher too often. She has harassed us about going up and down our steps to the basement. She has even called the police on us for “door slamming.” We don’t slam our door, but it does make a normal sound when it closes. This woman never leaves her home, not even on weekends, so playing a radio is out of the question. I had three contractors look at the walls, and they told her that there are about two inches between our units. She is really making me miserable. I should be able to relax in my home and do my laundry and cleaning without worrying. The police told me she has “every right to complain about noise,” but they also told her that she should expect to hear sounds coming from our home and the noise is not unreasonable. I think this woman is crazy, and she’s trying to chase me away. I’m tired of walking on egg-
shells. What can I do? — W. Dear W.: If you are not making excessive noise, you should ignore her. She is obviously very sensitive to sound and should take the necessary steps to insulate her home, such as adding carpeting and wallpaper, and using white-noise machines or sound-cancelling headphones. If you are willing, you could put on your kindest, most sincere face and pay her a visit. Say, “Louise, I’m so sorry that our noise levels bother you, but there is nothing we can do about the thin walls. Maybe a whitenoise machine would help to drown us out. Or perhaps wear some noise-cancelling headphones. It must be hard to be so sensitive to sound.” Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Mother-inLaw from Hell,” who thinks her daughtersin-law don’t show her respect because they only call her when they want her to babysit. I’m the mother of three boys, now men with families of their own. I have three daughters-in-law, some of whom came to our families with children. Here’s what I’ve learned: If you put 100 people in a room and ask them to define respect, you will get 100 different answers. Her daughters-in-law may be respecting her by their definition, just not hers. As for her complaints about the grandchildren, grandchildren are a gift, whether they are blood-related or gifted through marriage. Every minute we spend with them, whether picking them up from school, taking them to the doctor or just hanging out, is an opportun-
ity to love and encourage them, and let them know they are valued people. Life is too short to miss the chance to make a difference in the life of another person. — Grandmother and In-law
Dear Grandmother: You have the right attitude and a generous heart. Bless you. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime

Beck ready for ďŹ rst start with B.C. Lions
CARLOS RODRIGUEZTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURREY — B.C. Lions quarterback John Beck is gearing up for two different types of pressure in his first CFL start Sunday against the Ottawa Redblacks. Beck will face pressure to excel in the absence of injured No. 1 Travis Lulay (knee), who was placed on the six-game injured list Friday, and elude a tenacious Redblacks pass rush. “They’re going to be wanting to run at our guys, so I’m going to have to make some contested throws,� said Beck, a 34-year-old former NFL journeyman who is in his second season with the Lions. “That’s the way they play the game. They’re gonna try to put pressure on the quarterback.� The Redblacks (5-4) recorded 10 sacks in their previous game as they beat Saskatchewan on Aug. 30 prior to a bye on the Labour Day weekend. Beck’s mobility has been questioned this week, but Lions receiver Austin Collie, who also played with him 11 years ago with the Brigham Young University Cougars, said he is more fleet afoot than people might expect. “I would appreciate it if people treated me as not mobile,� said Beck.
MEXICO CITY — Gregory Vargas made a free throw with 0.3 seconds left after being fouled on an offensive rebound and Venezuela stunned Canada 79-78 on Friday night to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Windi Graterol scored 20 points, and Heissler Guillent added 19 — eight in the final 4 minutes — in the semifinal game to help Venezuela qualify for the Olympics for the first time since Barcelona in 1992. Argentina faced Mexico in the other semifinal Friday night. With the score tied at 78, Vargas pulled down the offensive rebound and fouled by Aaron Doornekamp. The officials reviewed the play and determined the foul came before the buzzer. Vargas made his first attempt and missed the second on purpose to end the game. “Canada is a great team, but

we thought that a big one can fall. It was David versus Goliath and we came on top, we leave everything out there,� Venezuela coach Nestor Garcia said. “This is an historic day for Venezuela. Many people doubted that we were capable of this. I’m proud of this team.�
Kelly Olynyk had 34 points and 13 rebounds for the Canadian team that missed a big opportunity to return to its first Olympics since 2000. Andrew Wiggins had nine points for Canada, which will have another shot next year during the world qualifying tournament.
