T

he announcement that the Nanaimo Clippers are up for sale may spell a good opportunity for the franchise and the city, according to people with close associations past and present with the junior hockey team. Current co-owner Ken Wagner confirmed on Tuesday that he and his fellow shareholders were looking to sell their stake, after approximately 10 years with the club. Wagner stressed he and the other owners were in no rush to sell the team and want to find “the right buyer,” preferably a local one, to take over the Clippers. John Grisdale, commissioner of the B.C. Hockey League, said the announcement “did not come as a surprise” and lauded the cur-

“I think certainly the league will do its due diligence on anyone who comes in on the ownership side.” John Grisdale, BCHL commissioner

rent owners and management for their handling of the team, which he called “a solid franchise” in the league. Grisdale, who called Wagner “a phenomenal” operating partner for the team as well as the league, said the sale offers a chance for the team to re-engage and broaden its fan base and renew relationships in the community. “Teams in our league do sell, and hopefully it’ll be the right mix,” Grisdale said, referencing future ownership of the team.

He ruled out relocation of the franchise as a possibility. “It’s not going anywhere,” he said. “I think certainly the league will do its due diligence on anyone who comes in on the ownership side.” Bill Bestwick, a former part owner, head coach and GM for the Clippers, said Wagner and the his partners have “contributed immensely” to the franchise over the years. Last year, Bestwick returned to the organization briefly as a temporary senior advisor, after a split from the organization three years prior. Bestwick, also a city councillor, said he’ll “never say never” to getting involved with the team again in the future, although he said he has not been asked to rejoin the organization. “You never know,” he said. John Wynia, an owner of the

team from 1984 to 1998, said the public announcement of the sale “is an opportunity” for prospective local buyer to have a shot at purchasing the team. “They (the current owners) may find somebody they never even thought of,” he said. Clippers head coach Mike Vandekamp said he is in the “initial steps” as he concentrates on preparing the team for the next season, rather than the sale. “For me, I just signed a fouryear contract to work here, so I’m not concerned,” he said.

Nanaimo property owners will be getting their tax notices after the Victoria Day weekend, following a unanimous vote at city council Monday to approve the 2015 budget and tax rates bylaws. Each resident’s tax bill will vary, but taxes overall are set to increase one per cent overall in the city. The revenue will be used to increase reserves to maintain and renew infrastructure. The relatively quick passage of the budget through council Monday stood in contrast to a sharp divide amongst councillors over the financial document in February, when elected officials were unable to agree on whether further spending cuts were necessary. Council had already directed city staff to remove approximately $744,000 in spending from the budget to reduce the proposed tax increase, which included cutting three new RCMP positions. On Monday, all seven present council members supported the bylaws. Councillors Diane Brennan and Bill Bestwick were absent. Two councillors, Bill Yoachim and Jerry Hong, pledged they would seek larger budget reductions for next year. “I will reluctantly approve this just so we can move on, because I know we’re dragging on,” Hong said. The provincial deadline to pass a budget and tax rates in May 15. “But I’m determined to work harder next year, just to let everyone know.” Coun. Jim Kipp gave a good-humoured a nod to longtime finance director Brian Clemens, who retires from his post this spring. “I think of the 20 years I’ve been here, I’ve hardly voted for any one of his budgets, so I’m voting for his budget this time,” Kipp said to laughter. Of course, the budget is actually council’s domain and elected officials will soon begin work on next year’s budget, which is already well underway.

EDUCATION

Bayview parents happy with school NDTA president says students who choose not to write the test can dramatically impact final averages ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Peter Mitchell has no problems sending his kids to Bayview Elementary School. The father of three at the school said he’s satisfied with the education they are receiving at the south-end school, despite the fact that it was listed as last out of 26 local schools for academics in a report released Monday by the Fraser Institute. “I think my children are learning quite a lot here and I’m happy they are going to Bayview,” Mitchell said Tuesday while waiting for the dismissal bell at the school. “I really don’t pay much mind to reports like that.” Bayview received a score of just

BALL

one out of 10 in the institute’s annual report card on the province’s elementary schools, which are based on the results of foundation skills assessment tests that are given annually to Grade 4 and Grade 7 in B.C.

The average of the local schools was 5.2 out of 10, while the provincial average was six out of 10. The province’s teachers and other groups claim the tests intrude on teaching time and are unfairly used to rank schools. Charlene McKay, president of the district parents’ advisory council, said while some parents find the information useful, the majority don’t like the way the information is used by the Fraser Institute. “The way the information is used to compare and rank schools is not helpful to the children’s educations,” she said. Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said Fraser Institute “twists” the testing data from

individual schools. He said students who choose not the write the tests are given zero, which can dramatically impact the final grade averages, particularly in schools where many students and their families have chosen not to write the tests. “The assumption by many who look at the institute’s report is that teachers and school districts are not doing their jobs in many cases,” Ball said. “But there’s a lot more going on here. I could list the socio-economic status of each school and where they are in the district and it would look like the institute’s rankings.” Peter Cowley, one of the report’s authors, acknowledges that demographic reasons may

be a factor. But he said that doesn’t explain why Quarterway Elementary School increased its ranking from 3.8 to 6.2 over the last five years, and Cinnabar Valley school went from 3.7 to 5.7. “If people in Nanaimo-Ladysmith want to find out how to improve their schools, they should take a look at what’s happening in those schools,” Cowley said.

BUSINESS

Club owner opposed to bureaucratic moves DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

A Nanaimo nightclub owner is opposing the city’s insistence the business undertake a legal requirement to take part in a crime prevention program. The Bar Watch program is geared to stop problem patrons who are kicked out of one club from causing problems elsewhere. Club 241 owner Paul Manhas considers it an abuse of power by municipal bureaucrats and has enlisted the help of a lawyer. Two other club operators downtown have already signed similar agreements. Under Bar Watch, patrons must show a piece of photo identification when entering a licensed establishment. The ID is copied and electronically stored. If trouble arises and the patron is ejected, that information is shared with other participating downtown bars, which prevents troublemakers bar-hopping to cause more trouble. Manhas is currently a participant in the program. Supt. Mark Fisher of the Nanaimo RCMP wrote a submission calling Manhas “a strong supporter” of Bar Watch since its inception. Fisher wrote that police are not opposed to expanded seating in his facility, as long as he signs the terms and conditions document. Manhas opposes signing the legally binding agreement that would make the program a requirement in perpetuity.

“What it is, local enforcement people are struggling to get better tools to do their job,” said Manhas. “Yet what they don’t understand are the implications on businesses, and they’re designing terms and conditions

on licences they want council to attach to our licences.” The city’s terms and conditions document would make permanent such Bar Watch elements as video surveillance, use of ID verification, weapons detec-

tion systems, a ban on wearing biker colours or any clothing or jewelry associated with gang affiliations and a requirement that owners provide sufficient staff levels and training to control unruly patrons.

Manhas is currently renovating the 241 nightclub. He applied to add 28 seats to the club’s liquor primary licence — a licence needed for a bar or nightclub as opposed to a restaurant. Staff recommend that council only allow the additional seating capacity if Manhas signs the “Terms and Conditions” document. The conditions are being imposed arbitrarily, said Ted Beaubier, the lawyer acting for Manhas in the matter. “That is an improper way to impose licensing terms and conditions,” Beaubier said. “The concerns they have should be dealt with by the (B.C.)

If there is a problem, it has to be aired publicly, and dealt with at the administrative level by the licensing branch, rather than one on one.” Council has referred the item back to the city development services department. Dale Lindsay, city development services manager, acknowledged the city is not imposing terms and conditions on neighbourhood pubs or food-primary establishments, but noted Bar Watch was created to rein in ongoing problems downtown. “We’ll open up discussion again with the applicant and return to council for further direction,” Lindsay said.

Hope remains that starfish populations can recover SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Reports of juvenile sea stars in Nanaimo waters and elsewhere are giving hope to biologists that starfish populations are recovering after a massive wipeout along the West Coast staring around 2013. However, it remains to be seen if the syndrome that has been causing the sea creatures to turn to goo and disintegrate has subsided, or whether more sea star deaths will follow. Brian Kingzette, a marine biologist and head of Vancouver Island University’s Deep Bay

“It bodes well. Most of what we’ve been seeing recently is the baby starfish, the juveniles, which we haven’t seen for a couple of years.” Shirley White, diving instructor

Marine Field Station, is watching the situation closely. He says warmer weather in the summer will give scientists a better indication if the malady affecting the

Island’s population of sunstars and purple star fish has run its course. Last year, a research paper from Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Scientists identified the Sea Star Associated Densovirus — a type of parvovirus found in invertebrates — as the likely cause of the disease affecting the starfish. Kingzette said the virus and a number of factors may be behind the sea star deaths, which began showing up near Nanaimo by June of last year. All the sea stars in the marine field station tanks died off within weeks.

“It was absolutely amazing from an academic view how quickly it happened,” Kingzette said. Now, he said, local divers are seeing young sea stars on the ocean floor, an encouraging sign. Whether the syndrome has run its course is still unknown, he said. “You have to think of it like an epidemic, like the flu,” he said. Shirley White, an owner and instructor at a Nanaimo dive shop, said she and others have begun noticing the baby starfish in the Nanoose area.

“It bodes well,” she said. “Most of what we’ve been seeing recently is the baby starfish, the juveniles, which we haven’t seen for a couple of years.” However, White said the ultimate survival of the sea stars remains in question.

Tory ad blitz questionable use of tax cash

T

he ads are springing up faster than pansies on the sunny side of the street on a warm spring day. It’s hard to escape Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s aggressive pre-election advertising blitz reminding us of all the wonderful things his Conservatives are doing with our tax dollars. The government is pushing its Economic Action Plan, tricked out in Tory blue, like there’s no tomorrow. Everywhere, cheerful Canadian families and workers — well, cheerful actors, anyway — are shown to be benefitting from the federal budget and its voter-friendly largesse. Voters are being invited to consider: What does this mean for your family? And to apply for their share of the child-care benefits and other goodies. Meanwhile, ads touting the military tie in with the government’s security and anti-terror agenda. The onslaught on TV, radio,

billboards and social media is relentless. It’s also shameless. And as the Star’s Les Whittington reports, this self-celebration on the public dime is generating some muchneeded pushback. Tom Mulcair’s New Democrats and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are complaining that the ads are unfairly partisan and wasteful. So are groups such as Democracy Watch and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. In the short term the Conservative government is spending $13.5 million through the finance department and tax agency flogging its budget, which featured “handouts to the wealthy,” as the NDP’s Nathan Cullen put it. But that’s the tip of an iceberg. Tory ad blitzes have cost a whopping $750 million since Harper came to office in 2006, or nearly $85 million a year. And, for the record, the Liberals can’t claim the high ground when it come to wasteful spending on propaganda.

Under Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, they pumped $950 million into ads between 1998 and 2006, the NDP says, more than $100 million a year. It doesn’t have to be this way. As the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has argued, governments are huge advertisers and politicians shouldn’t be in a position to succumb to the temptation of abusing public dollars by torquing ads for partisan advantage. It’s an affront to democracy and a waste of money. Instead, proposed government ads should be vetted by an independent third party before they go public. The Conservatives famously spent $2.5 million in 2013 promoting the Canada Jobs Grant, a program that didn’t even exist at the time. That’s the sort of thing an independent vetting process would be expected to red-card. The Liberals, to their credit, are calling on the government “to submit all advertising to a

third-party review process before it is approved, to ensure that it is an appropriate, proportional, and prudent expenditure of public funds.” Belated as their conversion to adult supervision may be, it’s the right approach. Indeed, it has been working in Ontario for more than a decade. Back in 2004 Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals gave the province’s auditor general the authority to vet and approve government ads before they are aired, published or distributed, to make sure that they are non-partisan. The ads “must not have a primary objective of fostering a positive impression of the governing party or a negative impression of a person or entity critical of the government,” the provincial guidelines stipulate. The recent Conservative blitz has galvanized Democracy Watch to launch a letter-writing campaign calling on the federal auditor general to look into the

matter, and to be given the authority to “stop future dishonest, partisan, wasteful ads.” The sheer existence of a review process serves as a powerful brake on partisanship. Ontario’s auditor reviewed 625 advertising items in 145 submissions in 20132014, and rejected just one 30-second TV spot out of concern that it “would have left viewers with the impression that Ontario’s manufacturing sector was booming as a result of government programs and activities in this area.” That’s one tough standard. The federal Conservative government would be hard-pressed to explain how its current ad blitz meets that test. And that’s just the point. It doesn’t have to. It should.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Most Canadians want to see the Senate reformed Re: ‘Canadians are fed up with Senate antics’ (Editorial, Daily News, May 4) I think we should be “fed up” with more than Senate “antics.” We should be fed up with how the Senate went from a body meant to safeguard regional interests to a partisan dumping ground for those owed favours from whatever party forms government. I’m just as fed up with opposition parties and their left-wing media friends trying to convince us that Mike Duffy’s case “calls into question Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s political judgment.” Would the opposition’s solution be to ensure that former journalists never get appointed to positions that give them access to our tax dollars? I notice that, besides hyperventilating over the Senate, the editorial claims that “more now want the place abolished than want it reformed.” This isn’t supported by last month’s Angus Reid poll that had 45 per cent supporting “reform” and 41 per cent for “abolishment.” I’m surprised that 14 per cent of poll respondents favour the status quo.

The reform/abolish issue won’t disappear and our unelected Supreme Court isn’t making a solution any easier, which is another story. Harper has focused on reducing the cost of the Senate and has also refused to appoint new senators as retirements occur. He could simply leave future nominations up to the provinces to do with as they please and has already appointed four elected Alberta senators. It might be interesting to see what the supremes would do about that. Jim Corder Nanaimo

Views consistent with science, says Lunney Re: ‘Lunney Right to Leave Caucus’ (Your Letters, Daily News May 4) Writer R. G. Burnett repeats the mythology that my views on evolution are at variance with the overwhelming majority of scientists worldwide. On the contrary, my views are mainstream in today’s world of molecular and cell biology. In 2009, polling of the American Association for the Advancement of Science showed 33 per cent of scientists believe in a personal

God and 44 per cent atheist. Even more interesting is the age group 18–34 years, where 42 per cent believe in God versus 33 per cent atheist. Atheists are diminishing. It is advances in the world of molecular biology and cell biology that have made the theory of the origin of life or the simplest cell by simple undirected, random processes increasingly untenable. I refer writer Burnett to the Harvard video clip, The Inner Life of the Cell. Modern science reveals worlds within worlds of nanotechnology in each of your 80-100 trillion cells; a world of self-directed, responsive activity, eclipsing anything man has made. You want evidence? Check it out. James Lunney Nanaimo-Alberni MP

BUSINESS NOTES News from the Nanaimo business community

Network Hub branch now open in Nanaimo Service provides business people with office space, mailbox rentals, meeting rooms and more Robert Barron Reporting

T

he first branch of The Network Hub on Vancouver Island has opened in Nanaimo. The Network Hub, which has branches across B.C. and around the world, provides office space, mailbox rentals, meeting room rentals and other services to local entrepreneurs, business travellers, freelancers and more. The Network Hub Nanaimo, located at 256 Wallace St., features 12 workplaces, three large private offices, a rentable boardroom, event space for up to 40 people, and a lobby that will soon include a retail store. Spokeswoman Angie Barnard said the goal is for The NetWork Hub Nanaimo to be the go-to place for businesses investing in their growth, and there are already membership commitments with a number of local, regional and provincial businesses to use the space. “The most important aspect of working in Nanaimo is the incredible collaboration we have here,” she said. “We are an island so, in addition to sharing an amazing lifestyle, the community is resourceful, shares ideas and helps each other find solutions. That is certainly one ingredient for success.” For more information, go to www.thenetworkhub.ca.

New eyecare store Diamond Optical & Eyecare has recently opened a new store in Nanaimo on Aulds Road. The family-owned and run company now has four locations, with two in Victoria and one in Duncan. Owner Ron Boyce said an opportunity arose to open a fourth location in Nanaimo when an optical store at the site went out of business.

But he said the Nanaimo store has “been a struggle” since it opened just after Christmas. “There’s also a lot of competition in Nanaimo, but it’s in an ideal location, right across from the Woodgrove Centre, so we figure it may take us a year of more to build up the business there. We have a great selection of products and we have developed a great reputation in Victoria and Duncan and we hope to do the same there over time.”

Restaurant closes The city’s Earls Restaurant in Rock City Plaza permanently closed after 25 years in business on April 30. Co-owner Clinton King said the franchise agreement with the company and the lease of the building had expired and a decision was made not to renew the contracts. “We just decided that we needed a change,” he said Tuesday. King thanked all the restau-

rant’s patrons and the service companies they have dealt with over the years for their support.

Support workers send message over proposed cuts DAILY NEWS

Support workers from the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district gathered for a protest in Diana Krall Square Tuesday afternoon to send the school board and the public a message over proposed job cuts.

The school district is considering cutting up to 20 jobs from its facilities and maintenance departments as it prepares to balance its budget for 2015-16 with a $4.5-million shortfall. Rob Zver, president of CUPE Local 606 which represents the school district’s support workers,

said his members are being targeted with the bulk of the proposed cuts this year, with 80 per cent of them in the district designated among his members. “We’ve been taking the majority of the cuts that the district has been making to balance its budgets for years,” Zver said.

TODAY ONLY!

“We already have one of the largest amounts of square feet of space to look after of all the school districts in the province, and now they are looking to further cut our janitorial staff.” Also on Tuesday, the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, Irene Lanzinger, was slated to be

in Nanaimo to lend her support for the striking workers at the Nanaimo Golf Club. Two-dozen food and beverage employees at the golf club, represented by Unite Here Local 40, which represents hospitality workers in B.C., have been on strike since late last month.

Khadr bail stalls, but conditions for release are set

Alberta goes NDP, Notley next premier

COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Any hopes Omar Khadr had of tasting freedom for the first time in almost 13 years on Tuesday were dashed when an Alberta justice said she wanted more time to consider whether he should be released on bail. Court of Appeal Justice Myra Bielby said she would decide Thursday whether to grant the federal government’s request to keep him behind bars despite a lower court order that he be freed. Khadr, who had watched the proceedings intently, showed little emotion as he was led from court following arguments, but one of his lawyers, Dennis Edney, was clearly disappointed with the decision. “Well, of course, I’d like to grab him, throw him in the car, take him home,” Edney said outside court. “When I listen to the argument from the government going on, it’s all smoke and mirrors.” At issue is an April 24 order from Court of Queen’s Bench Justice June Ross that Khadr, 28, should be given bail pending his appeal of his war crimes conviction in the United States.

Jim Prentice resigns Progressive Conservative leadership DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The NDP has won its first majority government in Alberta by toppling the Progressive Conservative colossus that has dominated the province for decades and driving leader Jim Prentice from public life. The New Democrats, under leader Rachel Notley, swept all 19 constituencies in Edmonton on Tuesday, made significant inroads in previously barren NDP territory in Calgary, Lethbridge and rural Alberta. The Wildrose party took second place and will form the official Opposition, while Prentice and his battered PCs had to settle for third. It was a crushing defeat for the Tories, who had steered the province since 1971 — longer than any party in the country. Prentice told subdued supporters in Calgary that he was stepping down as leader effective immediately and would also leave the Calgary Foothills seat he just recaptured. “As leader of the party, I accept responsibility for tonight’s outcome. I also accept responsibility for the decisions that led up to this evening,” he said. Wildrose Leader Brian Jean, Liberal Leader David Swann and the Alberta Party’s Greg Clark were also elected.

◆ GRANBY, QUE.

Illegal to insult cops or workers online in town

A Quebec town has made it illegal to insult a police officer or any of its municipal employees on the Internet. Under a local bylaw, anyone who insults municipal employees in Granby could be fined between $100 and $1,000 for a first offence. It ranges from $200 to $2,000 for a second offence. On Monday, town council unanimously approved an addition to the bylaw to include insults that show up on the Internet or social media. Riel said Granby, which is about 80 kilometres east of Montreal, is the first Quebec town to have a bylaw that extends to the Internet.

Tories seek to replace corrections investigator

Alberta Wildrose Leader Brian Jean casts his ballot in Fort McMurray, Alta., on Tuesday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

The NDP win is a tectonic shift in Alberta politics, which has seen government change hands only four times since the Liberals won the first election when Alberta became a province in 1905. Notley had momentum since the leaders debate that most pundits said she won and the victory is a vindication of the pioneering efforts of her father, Grant Notley. He helped found Alberta’s NDP and kept the movement alive as the sole NDP member of

the legislature in the 1970s. The Tories were gunning for a 13th consecutive majority when Prentice dropped the writ on April 7. The election came a year earlier than necessary under Alberta law, but Prentice said it was necessary to gain a mandate to implement his tough budget that proposed sweeping increases in taxes and user fees and cuts in government spending. He said his goal was to stop Alberta’s heavy reliance on fluctuating oil prices for its revenue.

Canada’s hard-hitting corrections investigator Howard Sapers has been told by the Harper government he’s out of a job as soon as a replacement can be found. Sapers has been given a temporary contract of up to a year while the government searches for “suitable replacement candidates” to take over as prison service watchdog, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said Tuesday. Sapers said he went to the government a year ago and expressed an interest in continuing in the job when his appointment was up for renewal. He also asked that he be given six months’ notice if the government intended to replace him.

PMO breaches rules on use of military images MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — A series of videos distributed by the Prime Minister’s Office, some of which showed the faces of the country’s special forces soldiers, were abruptly pulled offline early Tuesday in an embarrassing security breach. The videos, on Stephen Harper’s official 24-Seven feed, were taken during his recent whirlwind trip to Iraq and Kuwait, where the travelling media were lectured and asked to sign undertakings that they would not publish images of the elite JTF-2 troops who provided security and conduct a myriad of secret operations around the world. There are other instances of JTF-2 members being clearly visible, hovering near the prime minister. Several videos were pulled offline. A senior government official, speaking on background early Tuesday, initially insisted they didn’t violate security protocols, and claimed the footage would be reposted shortly.

Quesnel Lake future still not clear, say researchers DIRK MEISSNER THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — Quesnel Lake likely survived a major pollution disaster when a tailings pond at the Mount Polley mine collapsed last summer, but it needs constant monitoring to track any long-term impacts, says a new report. Researchers from the University of Northern British Columbia and the University of B.C. studied the massive sediment plume of waste and water within Quesnel Lake in the three months following the breach of the tailings pond at the open pit gold-and-copper mine. UBC physicist Bernard Laval said Tuesday that mine tailings were likely flushed from the lake into the Quesnel River, but huge amounts sunk to the bottom and

could leach over the years. Twenty-four million cubic metres of silt and water spilled into area waterways last August, including Quesnel Lake, a major sockeye salmon habitat. “My sense is Mount Polley got very lucky in that their tailings are relatively chemically inert,” Laval said. “The concern is that metals will dissolve into the water and make their way into the food chain.” The study found elevated levels of copper concentrations in sediment samples and discovered a sediment plume at depths below 30 metres in the west arm of Quesnel Lake. It also documented a lake level rise of almost eight centimetres and a temperature increase at the bottom of the lake of up to 2.5 degrees Celsius.

“The contaminant introduction, mobilization, and bioaccumulation may pose risks to 31 resident and anadromous fish stocks, which support recreational, commercial and First Nations 32 fisheries,” the report said. “The nature of waste materials now present in Quesnel Lake presents a potential hazard to the metal content of aquatic food webs and the growth, survival and behaviour of important fish species.” Laval said constant monitoring of the lake’s water quality by governments and scientists would ensure potential impacts are immediately known. “The lake has some resilience,” he said. “We don’t know how much. It could have been worse, and the chemistry could have been worse.”

Terror bomb could have killed many GEORDON OMAND THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Everyone celebrating Canada Day on the B.C. legislature’s front lawn in 2013 could have died or been injured if three shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs had detonated, a B.C. Supreme Court jury heard on the final day of the Crown’s evidence. An RCMP explosives expert who built the fake explosives for accused terrorists

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody painted a grim picture of what could have happened had they been real. The pressure waves emanating from the explosion would have been enough to cause death or serious injury within 30 metres, he said. Cucheran said the minimum safe distance from the most powerful of the three bombs allegedly hidden by the couple was 250 metres.

Lawyer suspended, must pay hearing costs

Warrant for murder out for Campbell River man

The Law Society of B.C. has suspended a lawyer for backdating clients’ account statements and improperly handling trust funds. But it says William Faminoff of Vancouver denied that his actions between January 2007 and June 2010 constituted professional misconduct. The society says Faminoff intended to mislead the society by backdating statements and withdrew money from a client’s trust account when there wasn’t enough money in the account. It says he also failed to maintain accounting records and admitted to breach of undertaking he made to ICBC. The society says Faminoff’s two-month suspension will begin on July 1 and he will be required to pay hearing costs of $8,430.

Homicide investigators in Alberta have issued an arrest warrant for a 30-year-old man from Campbell River. Mounties in Grande Prairie, Alta., say they are looking for Tommy Paul in connection with the death of Adrian Snider and have charged two other people. Snider was last seen by his family on March 6, but police say he was not reported missing until March 30. On Monday, police announced they had located remains believed to be those of Snider. Police say Paul is First Nations, has two previous assault convictions and could be violent. They say 29-year-old Patrick Decque and 27-year-old Dominic Decque have been charged with murder and will return to court on May 25.

Experts doubt claim Islamic State is responsible for Texas shootings JULIE WATSON AND RYAN VAN VELZER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX — The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Tuesday for the assault on a Texas cartoon contest that featured images of the Prophet Muhammad, but counterterrorism experts said IS has a history of asserting involvement in attacks in which it had no operational role. That suggests the two gunmen could have carried out their own lone wolf-style strike before they were shot and killed at the scene of Sunday’s shooting in the Dallas suburb of Garland. Federal officials identified the pair as Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, both Americans who lived

in Phoenix. Federal authorities had been scrutinizing Simpson’s social media presence recently but had no indication he was plotting an attack, said one federal official familiar with the investigation. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said a Twitter account linked to Simpson included images of Anwar Awlaki, a radical cleric killed in a CIA drone strike in Yemen. “Was he on the radar? Sure he was,� McCaul said from Turkey, where he was leading a congressional delegation. The evidence does not indicate the attack was directed by the Islamic State group, “but rather inspired by them,� said McCaul,

who was briefed on the investigation by federal law enforcement officials. “This is the textbook case of what we’re most concerned about.� The cartoon contest had been expected to draw outrage from the Muslim community. According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad — even a respectful one — is considered blasphemous, and drawings similar to those featured at the Texas event have sparked violence around the world. The 31-year-old Simpson and 34-year-old Soofi were wearing body armour, and one of the men shot a security officer in the leg before a single Garland police officer fired on the two gunmen.

Creole halibut is perfect for the BBQ this season Chef Dez On Cooking

S

pring is always an indicator of halibut season and this recipe is one of our favorite halibut recipes for the grill. The ground cayenne pepper can be optional if you want to obviously eliminate any spiciness, but the butter can also be optional as well to eliminate any added fat. There will be enough juices in the pouch to keep the fish moist and generate enough steam without the butter, but if desired the pat of butter adds some richness to the dish. The halibut can also be substituted with any white fish. This recipe and over 100 more are available in my cookbook: Chef Dez on Cooking Volume 3.

Eileen Bennewith Nutrition Notes

No Diet Day a reminder that eating is about being healthy, not how you look

A Creole halibut on the grill can be done with or without cayenne pepper.

1 tsp sugar 4 tbsp cold butter 1 lemon

• Creole Halibut BBQ Pouches — makes four portions “The holy trinity of bell pepper, celery & onion; along with garlic, tomatoes, thyme, sweet smoked paprika and cayenne, give this seafood dish delicious Creole flavour”

Preheat BBQ grill with high heat. Cut eight pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil — 12 x 18 inches. Lay two pieces of foil on top of each other to make four separate double-layer foil bases. Place each filet, skin side down, in the center of one half of each of the foil bases, and season each filet liberally with salt and pepper. Top each filet evenly with three-quartered tomatoes, equal amounts of celery, equal amounts of bell pepper, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 thin slices of onion, 3 sprigs of thyme, 1/2 tsp paprika, pinch of cayenne, 1/4 tsp sugar,

4 halibut fillaets, approximately 200-250g each Salt & pepper 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered 1 stalk celery, sliced thin 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into small short strips 4 garlic cloves, minced 8 thin slices onion 12 fresh thyme sprigs 2 tsp smoked sweet paprika Ground cayenne pepper, optional

and season with more salt & pepper. Top each mound with a 1 tbsp pat of butter. Seal the pouches by folding over the foil in half longwise over the vegetable covered fish. Starting at one end, fold in and crimp the edges of the foil tightly and work around the whole open side of the foil to form a semi-circle pouch. It must be tightly sealed to keep all the steam and juices in the pouch. Place the pouches on the hot BBQ grill and reduce heat to medium low. Be careful not to pierce the pouches. Close the lid and cook for approximately 12 to 15 minutes while trying to maintain a cooking temperature of 375 degrees F on your BBQ’s built-in gauge.

The pouches should be puffed up life a balloon when done. Remove pouches from the grill and let sit for 5 minutes before opening. The internal temperature of the fish should be 140-150 degrees F. Carefully cut open each pouch (steam will be hot), squeeze over a bit of fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately. It is very fun to let your guests open their own pouch themselves and eat right out of the pouch. Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cookbook Author. Visit him at www. chefdez.com.

Cowichan Valley hosts fine Island wineries Sheila Hockin The Lucky Gourmet

H

ere on our beautiful island, we are fortunate to have many wineries thanks to our mild climate, rich soil and long growing season. The conditions have meant the accelerating conversion of former traditional farmlands into vineyards and wineries. Many of our Island wineries are in the Cowichan Valley. The fact that they are only minutes away from each other, makes the wineries in our region one of the most wonderful and pleasant wine tasting tours we’ll ever have the good fortune of appreciating. One winery my family knows well is Vigneti Zanatta. Born and raised in Treviso, Italy, Dennis Zanatta moved to Canada in 1950. After acquiring a working farm in the Glenora region of Duncan, he reflected on the similarities of the climate here to that of his homeland, then made the major decision to

The Cowichan Valley features a variety of wineries.

convert his land to vineyards and the barns into his winery. Staying true to his classical training in viticulture and horticulture, Dennis has kept to traditional methods of making wine and growing grapes. One of those signature methods is used in making Zanatta’s specialty; a traditional Champagne-style wine. These sparkling wines undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle and are aged for at least 18 months in wooden crates. Zanatta is currently run by Dennis’s daughter Loretta Zanatta and her husband Jim Moody. My favourite wine is the

Zanatta Damasco, a blend of Ortega, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and Schoenberger grapes. Often lauded as the most popular of our local white wines, this beauty delivers huge fruit flavours with a rich blend and good structure. The choice of aromatic grapes produces bouquet of pear, lychee, gooseberry and peach - followed by a mouthful of fruit salad. The natural effervescence is unique to Damasco and really livens up your taste buds. Zanatta Damasco makes a wonderful afternoon sipper and delectable when paired with Asian meals. Should you visit Zanatta,

be sure to stop at their bistro, Vinoteca. Originally the family home, this is where the Zanatta family raised their children. The farmhouse, built in 1903, was converted into Zanatta’s onsite wine shop and restaurant in 1996. Fatima Da Silva operates the restaurant. We have spent many an afternoon and evening with our family at Vinoteca, enjoying the lush wines and delicious food prepared by Fatima. On our last family gathering at Vinoteca, Jim gave us some freshly squeezed grape juice that was readily mixed into delicious cocktails. Zanatta will be joining Lucky’s Liquor Store for our annual Indulge Series Vancouver Island, a great event featuring all things Vancouver Island. Wineries, cideries and distilleries will offer the very best samples in our Mezzanine. This fabulous event will be held Thursday, June 11 from 7-9 p.m. For more information check out our website www.luckysliquor.ca find us on facebook or call us at 250-585-2755.

recurring theme in the media this time of year is about the arrival of summer and making changes to your body so you will look good in those skimpy summer clothes. The weight loss industry is gearing up for another season of profits while people spend their hard earned money trying to reach that far off ideal that the ads refer to as the “perfect summer body.” Today is International No Diet Day in many countries around the world. This is a day to think about what life would be like if no one judged you about how you look. If you were free to eat for enjoyment and move your body when you want to, simply because it feels good. It is a day to be free from diets and obsessions about your body weight. International No Diet Day is also an opportunity to raise awareness about weight discrimination, size bias, and the many ways our society allows people to show prejudice against anyone who has a larger body size or shape. According to the Rudd Report on Weight Bias, our society values thinness and supports messages that obesity is the mark of a defective person. Our culture allows the media to portray obese individuals in a biased and negative way rather than being open to a variety and diversity of body sizes and shapes. Weight bias begins with the untrue belief that stigma and shame will motivate people to lose weight. There is also a belief that people are responsible for their own weight and only fail to lose weight because of poor self-discipline or a lack of will power. These beliefs and cultural norms only contribute to the issue of obesity. Research shows that when someone is a victim of weight stigma or shaming, whether they are obese or not, they become vulnerable to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor body image and suicidal acts or thoughts. Dieting appears to work in the short term, but most of the time the weight come right back and brings along some extra weight to protect you in case you suffer starvation again. Repeated dieting is usually the cause of obesity, not the cure for it. It is not a failure on the part of the dieter that causes the weight to come back, it is the normal function of our metabolism to keep us safe in times when food is scarce. On May 6, people are encouraged to change their own focus away from weight loss and towards caring for themselves and others in a way that respects the body and shows kindness and compassion. There is no such thing as a “Perfect Summer Body.” What you have is an all season body that needs to be loved and trusted, not starved and loathed. Your body is much more than a number on a scale. Take care of your body with a balanced lifestyle. Eat healthy food most of the time, move in a way that feels good, reduce stress and get enough sleep. You might be surprised at how your body responds when you show it some love. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

RUGBY

Game continues growth in Nanaimo ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

Rugby fever is back in Nanaimo. A high school boys sevens tournament, put on recently by the Nanaimo Hornets, saw more than 50 players take to the field at May Bennett Pioneer Park — with organizers and coaches now saying more youngsters are taking up the sport than ever before. It all ended with the John Barsby Bulldogs hoisting the Hornets’ high school trophy, after a 28-7 victory over the Wellington Wildcats in the final. Daniel Megog and Trenton Anderson were among the try scorers for the Bulldogs, with coach Trevor McIntyre stating his pride at the win. “I was very proud and excited with our accomplishment,� said McIntyre, a flanker for the

HANCOCK

Hornets senior team for the past 10 years. “We had a group of 20 guys who had never played rugby before and we were able to come out on top.� McIntyre believes the success of Barsby’s football program likely helped his players, with the majority of the rugby roster con-

sisting of those who made up the championship winning football team earlier this year. “The focus and the work ethic they have through football certainly came through. Lots of guys came out and they were all willing to try new things and get better.� McIntyre also sees a vibrant future for rugby in Nanaimo. “Consecutively every Thursday for the past few weeks we’ve had 50 or 60 guys come out to play rugby in Nanaimo and we haven’t had that for a long time,� said McIntyre, citing a number of earlier exhibition games played between the schools in the lead up to the tournament. The third and fourth-place game resulted in a 19-17 win for the NDSS Islanders over the Dover Bay Dolphins.

Like McIntyre, Hornets director Steve Hancock sees a strong and prosperous future for the game in the Harbour City. “One of the things we did at the end was sit down with all the coaches and players and it’s clear that everyone wants it to expand. We’ll do it again next year for sure and hopefully we’ll have a women’s sevens as well.� The Hornets also gave each of the four high schools involved $500 each to purchase new equipment for training purposes. “One of the other neat things that happened was that VIU rugby was there and with all the young players coming through the ranks, he spoke to them about the prospect of playing for VIU and then us if they choose to stay in Nanaimo for their education,� said Hancock, who hopes some of

the players involved will make up future Hornets teams in the years ahead. The Hornets also have a partnership in place with VIU so that players from the university are given the chance to play for the Div. 3 team during the regular season. Hancock believes the sevens format is the way to go in terms of continuing to increase the number of people playing the game. “It’s easier for the high schools to get a group of 10 guys together to play sevens rather than 20 for the regular 15,� said Hancock. “You could see the skills improve so much from the first game of the tournament to the final.� Ross.armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. — A public apology didn’t prevent Montreal Canadiens forward Brandon Prust from being fined for calling out referee Brad Watson following a playoff loss. The NHL fined Prust US$5,000 on Tuesday, hours after he apologized publicly for his comments. “Brandon Prust’s postgame comments were both baseless and demeaning of a referee whose 20-year career in the league has been marked by professionalism, integrity and a high degree of respect from players, coaches and management,� Colin Campbell,

the NHL’s senior executive vice-president, said in a statement. Prust said after Montreal’s 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night Watson insulted him and swore at him. Following Tuesday’s practice at Amalie Arena, Prust expressed remorse for revealing their on-ice interaction. “I’d like to apologize to Brad Watson and the rest of the officials in the NHL,� Prust said. “It was uncalled for. “We got in a heated exchange and that should have stayed between us. I’ve always played by the code on and off the ice, I’m

a pretty honest player. On Sunday I crossed the line.� Prust said he was agitated and emotional after getting into a fight late in the blowout loss. “We got heated and I should know more than anybody what happens out there stays out there and there’s a code and there’s an honour,� Prust said. “After the game I was not myself. “I was fired up, I was out of my mind. If I could do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t have even of went in to do interviews. But what’s done is done, and we move on.� Prust said he was expecting to speak with Campbell on Tuesday but added he

didn’t reach out to Watson directly. The 31-year-old hopes there’s no fallout with the officials in Game 3 on Wednesday or later in the series because of his comments. Coach Michel Therrien said in French he wasn’t worried about that because “the refs are professionals.� Defenceman P.K. Subban also isn’t concerned about Prust’s comments having a negative affect on the Habs moving forward. “That’s the integrity of the game,� Subban said. “There’s so many cameras, there’s so many people with opinions, there’s so many people watching, that’s not going to happen.�

Backlund scores in OT, Flames edge Ducks 4-3 Anaheim leads the Western Conference playoff series 2-1 DONNA SPENCER THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Mikael Backlund scored in overtime for the Calgary Flames, who worked their way back into their playoff series with the Anaheim Ducks with a 4-3 win on Tuesday. The Flames stayed unbeaten at home this NHL post-season and trail the Ducks two games to one in their best-of-seven Western Conference quarter-final series. Friday’s Game 4 at the Scotiabank Saddledome will be followed by Game 5 back in Anaheim, Calif., on Sunday. On a delayed Ducks penalty and with Flames goaltender Karri Ramo on the bench for an extra attacker, Backlund’s shot from the blue-line through traffic beat Anaheim goaltender Frederik Andersen at 4:24 of overtime.

Johnny Gaudreau’s goal in the dying second of the third period forced extra time for Calgary. Joe Colborne, with a short-handed goal in the second period, and Brandon Bollig also scored for the Flames in front of a sellout at the Saddledome. Ramo made 18 saves for the win. Patrick Maroon, Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey countered for the Ducks, who led 2-1 after the first period and 3-2 after the second. Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf contributed a pair of two assists and Andersen made stopped 17 shots in the loss. Controversy brewed in the third when officials waived off a potential Sam Bennett equalizer for Calgary. The rookie’s shot from close-range at 13:38 appeared from certain angles to slide under Andersen’s right pad

and behind the goal-line. The NHL’s situation room ruled “no conclusive evidence” of a goal, much to the Saddledome’s dismay when that decision was announced. But Gaudreau deflected attention away from the fuss by scoring the tying goal and his first of this series with 19 seconds left in regulation. With Ramo pulled for a two-man advantage on a Flames power play in the final minute, the Calder Trophy finalist’s wrist shot beat Andersen glove side. It was Calgary’s first power-play goal of the series after going 0 for 11. The Flames went 3-0 at home in their first-round win over the Vancouver Canucks in six games. Calgary lost both games in Anaheim to open their secondround series.

Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson likes to trumpet the talent and depth of his squad. Many of the players who have been waiting patiently on the sidelines this season will get their opportunity tonight. The Whitecaps visit FC Edmonton in the first leg of their Amway Canadian Championship semifinal and Robinson made it clear this week he will give most of his starters in Major League Soccer a rest. “The boys are ready, they’re very sharp — the ones that haven’t played the majority of minutes — and they want a chance,” said Robinson. “They get a chance in a competitive match.” The Welshman is usually coy with his starting 11, but dropped a few names, including those of midfielder Cristian Techera and goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi, who will both make their first-team debuts. Vancouver will be playing the second of five games in 15 days, with an MLS home tilt against the Philadelphia Union set for Saturday before the return leg

against Edmonton at B.C. Place Stadium on May 13. Robinson said the team he fields on Wednesday will be expected to play at the same level as the sides that have helped Vancouver to a tie atop the MLS standings with 17 points. “They get their opportunity to play and show that they should be getting MLS minutes when the time is right,” said the Welshman. Two other players expected to see action against Edmonton, which competes in the secondtier NASL and beat the Ottawa Fury to advance, are strikers Robert Earnshaw and Erik Hurtado. Earnshaw scored a dramatic winner in his first game for the club against the Portland Timbers at the end of March as a late substitute, but the former Welsh international has played just one minute since. “I want to play . . . but at the end of the day it’s up to the manager,” said Earnshaw, who played a game for Vancouver’s USL affiliate recently to stay fit. “Whichever way you put it there’s a load of games coming up. You can be disappointed. You want to play, but at the same time you have to give credit.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher R.A. Dickey works against the New York Yankees. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Estrada no relief as Yankees top Jays GREGORY STRONG THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marco Estrada’s relief work has been excellent so far this year. He was unable to carry that form into his first start of the season. Estrada gave up four earned runs and didn’t make it out of the fifth inning as the New York Yankees held on for a 6-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre. Mark Teixeira’s two-run homer knocked the righthander out of the game as Toronto’s four-game home winning streak came to an end. “Unfortunately I made a mistake to Teixeira and he hit it. But other than that, I felt pretty good,” Estrada said. “I can’t wait for my pitch count to go up so I can give the guys (more) innings. I wanted that inning, that inning was mine and unfortunately it got away from me.” Michael Pineda (4-0) threw eight shutout innings for the American League East division leaders. David Carpenter gave up a solo homer to Canadian Russell Martin in the Blue Jays’ threerun ninth inning. Closer Andrew Miller came on with two outs in the frame. He walked pinch-hitter Jose Bautista to bring the tying run to the plate before getting Devon Travis to fly out for his 11th save. Alex Rodriguez drove in two runs and Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and scored twice for the Yankees (17-10). Pineda allowed five hits, a walk, and had six strikeouts. The Blue Jays fell to 13-15 with the loss. “There’s nothing you can do about it,” Estrada said. “You just tip your hat and just forget about it and try to limit the damage that inning. I thought I did but I’ve got to get a little better.” The Blue Jays put runners in scoring position in the third when Martin, a Toronto native who grew up in Chelsea, Que., hit a two-out double that moved Travis to third base. Edwin Encarnacion flew out to deep left field to leave them stranded.

eclarer ruffed and crossed to the queen of hearts to begin trump. The spade queen was successfully passed, on which West discarded a diamond. Declarer drew trump to continue with a top heart on which East showed out. West was thrown in with a fourth round of hearts and elected to return the nine of clubs. South put up dummy’s jack for the king and ace resulting in twelve tricks, N-S +980. If West had exited with a diamond, South will win the king disposing a club and follow with a club finesse to bring home the slam. The auction suggested that South owned a void since he eschewed Blackwood to leap to a slam. However, the diamond lead tapped declarer reducing his length to that of East. A heart lead would permit declarer to score an overtrick when he wins dummy’s ten, draws trump and takes a club finesse. South will be held to twelve tricks when West selects the nine of clubs as an opening shot. East will not cover dummy’s jack but declarer draws trump to follow with the ace and queen of hearts. When East discards, he reverts to a club hook and concedes a heart to record twelve tricks. North’s artificial response promised less than a limit raise with four-card spade support. South then bid what he thought he could make.

Writing ‘Mountain Story’ an emotional challenge

Bridal, baby showers not all about the gifts

Followed cluster of teen suicides near author’s community VICTORIA AHEAR THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Bestselling author Lori Lansens tears up when discussing the hopelessness felt by the suicidal teenage protagonist of her new novel, The Mountain Story. “Sorry, it’s a little hard for me to talk about,” said the Chatham, Ont.-raised writer, getting choked up in a recent interview. “I try not to do this in public when I’m reading because it’s very emotional.” In The Mountain Story, teen Wolf Truly goes to the top of a mountain near Palm Springs, Calif., to kill himself on his 18th birthday. During the tram ride up, he sees three women who eventually ask him for directions. All four wind up lost on the mountain for five days, battling injury and the elements in a twist-filled page-turner. It marks a departure for Lansens, who had never written from a male perspective and with such suspense before. Lansens said Wolf’s story is an emotional one for her because “there were a cluster of teenage suicides” near her current home in a small community in the Santa Monica Mountains. It happened when she was in the final stages of writing her last novel, 2009’s The Wife’s Tale, which is in development as a feature film. “I only knew one of the children, only briefly, they’d briefly been our neighbour.”

LANSENS

“But going back into my own sort of dark days and remembering just the pain of existence . . . ,” she said, before stopping herself. Lansens said the tragedies left her preoccupied with thoughts about the teens, and her 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son. “None of us are safe from mental illness,” she said. “None of us are safe from depression. And particularly, as we know, in high school, children are so susceptible and so vulnerable.” In the case of Wolf, his hopelessness started in childhood. Growing up in poverty in Michigan, his mother died in an accident when he was young and his father was an alcoholic. When his dad moves them to a trailer park community in a desert town in California, he meets more adversity, including the imprisonment of his father. Wolf’s mindset changes when he meets the three women on the

mountain. The eldest, Nola, says she’s marking the anniversary of her wedding to her recently deceased husband. Ironically, Wolf finds himself trying to help Nola celebrate life while he plans to end his. “That’s the other thing — that you can be turned on a dime,” said Lansens. “I read something about someone saying they were walking in San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge to jump and they were playing this little game with themselves: ’If someone smiles at me, I won’t jump.’ . . . So these three women gave him a purpose and spoke to that really strong part of his character that said, ’What would mom say if I didn’t help these women find their way?”’ Lansens was a screenwriter before making a splash on the literary scene with 2002’s Rush Home Road and then 2005’s The Girls. She moved to California with her husband and two children nine years ago. To get to know Mount San Jacinto, the setting of the new book, Lansens visited it every couple of months. She was sometimes accompanied by Matt Jordan, a local guide and adviser. “Accuracy and believability were the most important thing before I started,” said Lansens. “When I sent the manuscript to Matt, I was more nervous than when I sent it to the publisher . . . because the veracity was so important.”

Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: You’ve printed several letters about bridal showers and baby showers and other occasions where gifts are given. Let me ask these young women who expect their family members to give gifts for every one of these events: Do you ever give your grandparents a birthday present? Do you ever send the great-aunts a Christmas card? When your uncle is ill, do you send flowers or a get-well card? Life is not about how many gifts you can get. These young men and women should count the number of gifts they have received from their grandparents, aunts, uncles and other close friends and family members since their high school graduations and then consider what they have given in return. — Tired of the Gimme Generation Dear Tired: Amen. Too often the recipients of largesse think the gravy train only runs in one direction and they don’t need to show similar consideration to an older generation. But what relative wouldn’t be thrilled to get a birthday card from a great-niece or a holiday card from a grandchild without prompting? Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 30 years. Before we met, I coerced a woman into having sex. I did not use physical force, but she did not give con-

sent. By today’s standards, this was, I think, a clear case of date rape. I have never told anyone about this, and there is little chance that we will ever encounter this woman. So my wife will never find out. Do I owe it to her to tell her? I believe that to do so could cause serious harm to our marriage. — Anonymous and Conflicted Dear Anonymous: Society is much more sensitive these days (and rightly so) to instances of sex without consent, e.g., when the woman is drunk or when someone in a position of authority takes advantage of a subordinate. We are glad that this has been bothering you for 30 years. It shows that you have remorse. Ideally, you would tell your wife and have her support when you voluntarily go to the police, but you don’t seem likely to do that. You can discuss this with your clergyperson or a therapist, although depending on the particulars of the date rape and the state in which it happened, there may be mandatory reporting laws, as well as no statute of limitations on the crime. (For information on these laws, contact RAINN at rainn. org, or see a lawyer.) A therapist also could help you decide how to broach the subject with your wife. Is there a way to apologize to the victim? This can be more healing than you know, for both of you. You might also contribute to an organization for rape victims. These things don’t at all make up for what you did, but they are a step in the right direction and better than doing nothing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You integrate knowledge with quickness and ease. Your perspective allows more give-andtake. Unexpected revelations will take you down a new path. Some of you might be reticent, but you can’t stay in the same spot forever. Tonight: Bring new information into a discussion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have an unusually grounded perspective of what is needed to make a situation work. Your unhinged imagination makes the path you’re on an exciting one. You’ll want to see past the obvious in order to understand what needs to happen. Tonight: Midweek break.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others have a way of domineering when they want to, while your light style gets smothered. By now, you know how to handle these situations, and you are able to flourish without an audience,

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You remain cool, calm and collected even in the face of a surprise or a demand from a higherup. You have managed to detach and gain a perspective that is unique and grounded. Pressure

could be coming in from others who are making their own demands. Tonight: Head home.

making a financial adjustment, but don’t worry so much. Trust that it all will work out. Tonight: All smiles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Where your friends are is where you’ll want to be. Nevertheless, handling some details and managing the fine print could be a problem. Understand where others are coming from. A meeting promises to be more supportive than you thought possible. Tonight: Hang out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to news within your immediate circle. You have demonstrated a special ability to absorb information and make needed adjustments. Pace yourself, and understand that you might need to schedule a break in the near future. Take some time off. Tonight: Not to be found.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Too many commitments can wear anyone down -- even you! Slow down the pace by taking a hard look at what can be discarded. You can’t keep adding things without eliminating some. Remember, you are human and have only so much energy. Tonight: Go shopping. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have an advantage, as you come off sounding secure, knowledgeable and ready to take action. No one can deny what is going on with you. You might be

ity that seems overwhelming. Others might have a similar response, therefore delegating it could be most difficult. Curb spending if possible. Tonight: In the limelight.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be more driven than you realize. With a group of friends, you will see how driven you all are to arrive at a common goal. In fact, others might be taken aback by your insistence. You know what is happening, and you have an agenda. Tonight: Hang with friends.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (May 6) This year you have the ability to understand some far-out ideas. You might not always agree with them, nor do you need to. The fact that you can discuss these concepts with the people who espouse them is significant. You often will want to entertain at your home and invite close friends over. If you are single, you grow past a problem and are able to develop a strong relationship this year, if you so choose. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other more than in the past. You seem to value each other more and more as you start planning more weekends away as a couple.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension builds as you try to field some curve balls. You also could decide to eliminate a responsibil-
