Tilray donates $10K for Heritage Days
Pet bylaw upgrade aims to improve animal welfare
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
pared — although not published as of Thursday evening — that will propose licensing cats at a “minor cost.” He stressed the city would not attempt to license felines in the same way as dogs. Other animal welfare groups have also pushed council to make changes in light of growing feral cat populations. If council approves any changes to animal control services, the changes would need to be approved in the animal control bylaw. If there are increased costs, a contract with a new animal control provider would need to be amended, Davidson said.
Tilray will help light up the night over the Nanaimo harbour on May 16. The medical-marijuana production facility at Duke Point has agreed to sponsor the fireworks show at next weekend’s inaugural Nanaimo Heritage Days and cover the approximately $10,000 cost. The commitment by Tilray is the latest by members of Nanaimo’s business community to revive the city’s Empire Days event under a new name. The Nanaimo Empire Days Celebration Society voted in March to cancel its participation this year in what would have been the city’s 148th annual May long-weekend tradition after city council voted to withhold grant funding due to concerns that the society’s name was offensive. But new life was breathed into the celebration after Morgan Carey, president and CEO of downtown Nanaimo firm Real Estate Webmasters, threw a $50,000 lifeline to the event under its new moniker. Tilray’s director of public relations Zack Hudson said the company agreed to get involved with the Nanaimo Heritage Days to show its appreciation to the community. “We are proud to have quickly become one of the region’s largest employers and we look forward to continuing to grow and strengthen our relationship with the community in coming years”. City councillor Jerry Hong, who has been searching for ways an event could go ahead this year after the exit of the Empire Days organizers, said he’s happy Tilray is now involved. “A lot of things are coming together for next weekend, including musical acts, a beer garden, fireworks at Swy-a-Lana Lagoon and the parade on Sunday,” he said.

Dogs in hot cars, licensing cats are main points SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
N
anaimo council may soon be asked to vote on an expansion to its animal control services, including licensing of cats and penalties for people who leave their pets unattended without proper ventilation. On the agenda for Monday’s committee of the whole meeting is a recommendation from city staff to approve a request for proposal for animal control contractor, after an expression of interest notice last year resulted in interest from two companies deemed qualified to carry out a contract with the city. City staff were directed last year to study the impact of adding new regulations to the city’s

animal control bylaw to deal specifically with dogs and cats. In the case of dogs, the Nanaimo & District SPCA and other groups had asked the city to consider issuing tickets to pet owners who left their dogs or other pets with inadequate ventilation, particularly in hot cars during the summer months. Currently, city animal control personnel or bylaw officers have no power to hand out tickets and can only contact RCMP and animal cruelty investigators if it appears a dog in distress. City parking and bylaw manager Rod Davidson, who has been working on the file, said
city staff are proposing two options to address the issue. Davidson said one option will involve “no added cost” to the city’s animal control contract, as animal control officers will be asked to prioritize calls for dogs in hot cars over other issues, such as pets on the loose. Davidson said that approach will mean no additional staff will be needed within the animal control contract. He said it will also allow the city to gather information on how much the additional service will impact costs, “because we don’t know what the added cost is.” Alternatively, council could look to hiring additional staff to take on the added work. As for cats, Davidson said a separate staff report has been pre-

SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Future transportation upgrades to Linley Valley will come before the public for consultation likely in the fall, after a council decision this week. The proposed future road networks are needed to address the transportation needs of a growing population in the area. Two approved subdivisions in the area, Linley Valley Estates and Linley Point, are expected to add more than 600 homes to the area in the coming years. Council also voted to abandon the proposed extension of Linley Valley Road to connect to Rutherford Road that had been identified as the de facto choice under the official community plan, amid concerns the $5.6-million cost was overly expensive. City staff will return with a bylaw to remove the road section from the OCP. Instead, council has directed city staff to gather public feedback on two other options to handle the anticipated
growth in traffic from development. One would make use of an existing network of neighbourhood roads north of the subdivisions towards Hammond Bay Road, called option ‘D;’ option ‘B’ would involve extending Linley Valley Drive to a proposed new road called Lundquist and then connecting to Rutherford at Nelson Road. Traffic signals would be added to the intersection. Linley Valley Drive was originally to be a major, four-lane east-west connector road spanning more than six kilometres. It would have linked Highway 19A with Hammond Bay Road. The length of the proposed road shrank throughout the 2000s thanks to the purchase of Cottle Lake Park as well as changes to development plans. By 2014, city council had voted to purchase an additional 221 acres of parkland in the area. The increase in parkland in the area has meant far fewer homes and therefore less demand to the traffic system.
“The scope of this road has really changed . . .” said Nanaimo community development director Dale Lindsay on Wednesday. The task before council now is basically to determine how best to provide vehicle access in and out of the area. The original plan to extend Linley Valley Drive to connect increased traffic directly to Rutherford raised concerns among councillors Jerry Hong, Gord Fuller and others that the cost was too steep. Transportation engineer Gordon Foy said reduced traffic projections in the area may mean that option “may not be as supportable as it has previously.” Council also rejected an option ‘C’ to build a connector road along the north side of McGregor Creek, citing environmental concerns from residents.

Nanaimo considers Cedar request for emergency water connection SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo council has directed city staff to review a request from the Cedar Improvement District for an emergency tie-in to the city’s water supply. A letter from district administrator Heather Sarchuk arrived before council Monday and was briskly sent to city staff following a successful motion from Coun. Jim Kipp, who said the city had agreed to a similar arrangement with the District of Lantzville in the past. Sarchuk’s letter says the district first reached out to the city in 2012 saying the improvement district was looking at various options enabling it to provide water to the small community in an emergency. “One of the options that the
district looked at is to work with the City of Nanaimo towards obtaining a tie-in to your water main at MacMillan Road,” her letter says. “Although the district has not had an emergency in the past, the district wants to be prepared for the future should an emergency arise,” she said. The NCID was incorporated in 1959 by letters patent in 1959, according to its website. The first components of the water system were built in 1960 and stretches approximately 30 kilometres, providing water to an estimated 1,220 properties. The district is also responsible for fire services and street lighting, and is governed by a board of seven elected representatives. Nanaimo has partnered with other jurisdictions on water in
the past, including last year, when the municipality signed a 20-year, renewable water-sharing deal with Lantzville that will see the district pay $1.3 million to the city to connect 225 homes in upper Lantzville. The agreement also allows 221 more residences currently on wells to connect to the city’s water system. The city itself is seeking an additional source of water to meet the demands of a growing population, although recent decreases in water consumption from city residents due to improved conservation has pushed back the timeline to secure additional sources of H2O.

Tourism boon is good news for Nanaimo
S
ome positive — and interesting — news this week. Nanaimo tourism operators enjoyed a sizable uptick in trade in March. There were several reasons for this. A shutdown at the Harmac pulp mill (which attracts large numbers of tradesmen to the city for temporary work), a nice stretch of sunny spring weather, and there were plenty more heads in beds for local operators of hotels, motels and campgrounds. Hotel occupancy rates jumped 15 per cent to 67 per cent, the kind of jump operators dream of in spring. As reported, room rates were up too, to $110.35, a $7 increase, for a total revenue increase of nearly $20 per room, among
those properties that participate in the monthly tourism industry report prepared by Victoriabased Chemistry Consulting. For those properties “these increases represent an estimated increase in monthly revenue of almost $428,000,” said Chemistry principal Frank Bourree. Of special interest was the notion that the boost in hotel occupancy rates could be attributed, at least in part, to some local sporting events. Dan Brady, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation’s appointee to the Tourism Leadership Committee, and Nanaimo Hospitality Association president, noted this. “We had the Aboriginal Junior Youth Basketball Championships,” said Brady, who man-
ages the Howard Johnson hotel. “Twenty-four teams came in.” Also in March, Vancouver Island University hosted the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association women’s national basketball championships. The B.C. Hockey League’s Nanaimo Clippers had a long playoff run that’s brought in visiting teams from Powell River and Penticton. In addition, the Nanaimo Curling Club put on a major bonspiel and the arts community launched its first Festival Nanaimo, all of which helped drive overnight stays. Other cities have capitalized on sports tourism. Kamloops has positioned itself as the tournament capital of British Columbia.
It only makes sense. Anytime you have a giant tournament, you’ll have people flooding to the city. They’ll stay in our hotels or campgrounds, visit our restaurants, shop at our stores and tell all their friends how beautiful the city is. It’s a no-brainer for the city (and local stakeholders) to pursue more of these events. The same can also be said for the arts community. Big festivals, dance competitions and the like will attract all kinds of visitors as well. Without an iconic tourist attraction in the city, getting enough of the “heads in beds” can be challenging. And since a sports and entertainment complex (allowing
for bigger sporting events and concerts) isn’t likely on the horizon for many years, focusing on the smaller events is the best approach available. The problem has never been keeping people in Nanaimo. Once folks see what the city has to offer, with its endless recreation opportunities, warm weather, affordable housing and more, they will hang around. Getting them here is the key. Sports has a unique way of bringing people together. If it also helps boost our local merchants, it’s something we need more of. » We want to hear from you.

We all need to support mayor on our downtown Re: ‘Casino expansion waits on hotel; Potential to link facility to new project, as well as the existing conference centre and theatre, appeals’ (Daily News, May 5) As a downtown merchant, I fully agree with Mayor Bill McKay that the proposed hotel is the key to development of the downtown and the profitability of the Vancouver Island Convention Centre. We
should do everything possible to support him in this effort to overcome the delays and get this project started. Once other developers see progress, expansion of Casino Nanaimo, and development the old A&B site will also move forward.

‘Poor doors’ new version of old inequality story
Proposed hotel looking like an ‘X-Files’ episode It will never cease to amaze me how the City of Nanaimo can still too easily foul things up. Yet again, the too-overburdened taxpayers get all caught up in the web of deception and like a continually misleading episode from the X-Files. But in this case it’s the all-tooreal Nanaimo X-Files. This downtown hotel will not be built despite the continuing promises from the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, which would not get
I recently watched a story about “poor doors,” entrances meant to segregate residents of buildings that incorporate both condo ownership and rental housing. All I could initially think of was the U.S. South in the 1960s with segregated restrooms and drinking fountains. Do condo owners not want to be seen using the same doorway as “those kind of people” of a lesser economic class? Would they be tainted by sharing the same entrance, perhaps catching a dose of poverty? Such negative and undesirable
attitudes of classicism should not be encouraged by the installation of separate entrances for different economic classes of citizens, for this just creates divisiveness within a community. There is a ridiculous attempt to support this notion of “poor doors” by arguing that “it’s the same as having first - or businessclass as opposed to economy class on an airplane.” Even airplane passengers all enter and exit the plane through the same door before going their separate ways to different parts of the aircraft. And a condo/socialhousing development should be no different. Liz Stonard Port Alberni Letters must include your hometown and a daytime phone number for verification purposes only.

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
A protest held Tuesday afternoon in Diana Krall Square by support workers from the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district to send a message to the school board over proposed job cuts appears to have had results. The board, who met shortly after the protest at the nearby Shaw Auditorium to discuss the budget for 2015-16, decided not to cut eight school custodian positions next year, which would have saved the district approximately $500,000. Staff had recommended cutting a total of 16 custodians next year. But Rob Zver, president of CUPE Local 606 which represents the support workers, said the recommendation to cut more than seven positions from the facilities department next year still stands, and with staff looking ahead two years as it prepares next year’s budget, the eight custodial positions that were saved are still scheduled to be on the chopping block in 2016-17. “Things can change and we don’t know what next year will bring, so we’ll plan our strategies to deal with planned job cuts accordingly,” he said. The district is facing a shortfall of $4.5 million in 2015-16 and another $1.2 million in 2016-17 after more than a decade of cuts to staff and programs. As in many previous years, CUPE members are being targeted with the bulk of the proposed staffing cuts for 2015-16. School board chairman Steve Rae acknowledged that the rally and a presentation by Zver at the meeting stating that the proper cleaning of the district’s schools would be “decimated” if the board decided to cut as many custodians as was planned likely had some effect on trustees. He said there was a recommendation for the board to pass the final budget at the meeting, but a number of trustees felt the process was being “too rushed” and they were not given enough time to properly review all the budget material. Rae said now that the board decided to put $500,000 back into the budget to cover the costs of the eight custodians, other areas must be found to cut to cover the funding. “The budget doesn’t have to be passed until June 30 so we’ll take as much time as is needed to ensure we make the best decisions possible,” Rae said. “A lot of our staff are at risk of losing their jobs and I get that and feel terrible about it. But everyone should remember that we’re in this position not because of (superintendent) John Blain, our senior staff or the school board. The reason why we have to make some hard financial decisions is because we are being underfunded by the province.”

Efforts continue to resolve golf club dispute ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no end in sight to the ongoing labour dispute between the Nanaimo Golf Course and more than 20 of its workers. The workers, represented by Unite Here Local 40 and consisting of service staff and janitors, have been on the picket lines since March 24, when the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management locked them out after being served a strike notice. Union representative Teresa South said the workers and the club are far apart on wages, but she feels that can be easily mediated. She said their biggest
issue is the fact that management wants the workers to agree to lower wages for new employees and for a longer period of time before new employees are entitled to full wages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no talks going on right now, and we feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to them to initiate themâ&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not stopping people from getting through but I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been successful in keeping many away.â&#x20AC;? NGC general manager Ash Chadha said management had suggested mediation to end the dispute, but the offer was turned down by the union.
He said the union has made no effort to get back to the table despite the mediation offer. Chadha said that, with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance workers and those in the Pro Shop not on strike, the golf course and driving range remain open, and the clubhouse is still open to events â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a limited way.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have members of our management team chipping in to help out until the dispute is over,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Nanaimo resident celebrates 100th birthday DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
The champagne was flowing at Nanaimo Seniors Village Wednesday as residents gathered to toast Edna Pratt. Pratt turns 100 on Friday. She made one thing clear when staff were organizing the big event: There had to be lots of champagne at her birthday party. In fact, several cases. Not that she’s one to overdo it. She cites moderation as one of the reasons she has succeeded in outliving all but one of her 12 siblings. Pratt lived through the end of the First World War and served from 1941 to 1945 in the Second World War. She takes pride in her contribution to the war effort to defeat the Nazis, as a section officer in the Royal Air Force, Women’s Division.
“I enjoyed life. I enjoyed working. I enjoyed my contribution to the war . . . Do the best you can and do all things in moderation.” Edna Pratt, celebrating 100th birthday
“We served, that men might fly,” she said. It meant doing domestic jobs during the war from nursing through cooking, catering canteen duties, cleaning and looking after equipment. “I enjoyed life. I enjoyed working. I enjoyed my contribution to the war.” Her secret to longevity? “Do the best you can and do all things in moderation.”
One of 12 Bryanton children, Pratt and twin sister Mabel were born May 8, in Bowden, Alta. They lived in Golden for a few years, then the Bryantons became homesteaders on a ranch near Rimby, Alta. She and younger brother Carl, 94, share fond memories of riding Brownie, a three-quarter Shetland pony. “All of us kids used to ride him around everywhere,” said Carl. “He used to go in the slough and lay down, with the kids on. “And Shortie — I used to call her Shortie — I think she got ducked a few times, too.” Carl, who is also a twin, lives in Calgary. When his two nieces offered a ride to Nanaimo for his sister’s 100th birthday celebration, he jumped at the chance. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Notley says Alberta NDP will reach out to energy players with Choral Director Karla Mundy
Newly minted premier says her interest is to represent whole province DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Incoming NDP Alberta premier Rachel Notley, in her first full day on the job, extended an olive branch to the energy industry and promised there will be no special treatment for unions. Notley said she will work with oil and gas and other business leaders to assure them her government will be a partner in building the province. “I’m going to be making phone calls today to leaders within the energy industry to begin those conversations,” Notley told reporters at the legislature Wednesday. “They can count on us to work collaboratively with them. “I’m hopeful that over the course of the next two weeks they will come to realize that things are going to be just A-OK over here in Alberta.”
Asked about the close relationship the NDP traditionally has with unions, Notley said there will be no fear or favour shown. “My job is to represent all Albertans, and job creation is a good part of that,” she said. “There’s no question that there’s common cause on many issues with union NOTLEY leaders, but there’s also common cause on many issues with business leaders. “That’s the kind of approach I’m going to take with governance.”
The NDP began their transition to power Wednesday after four decades of Progressive Conservative rule. She must name a cabinet out of her 53-member caucus, many of whom are new to politics. She must also craft a new budget, and the legislature must vote in a new speaker to replace defeated Progressive Conservative Gene Zwozdesky. Notley said everything will become clearer in the coming days as she works with her transition team and advisers, which includes former Saskatchewan NDP premier Roy Romanow. “You know, I haven’t actually been asked by the lieutenant-governor yet to be the premier,” said Notley. “So there are actually some things that have to occur before you start mapping out calendars.”

$1B LNG offer rejected in first vote THE CANADIAN PRESS
PORT SIMPSON — The first of three votes on a natural gas benefit offer worth over $1 billion has been unanimously rejected by a First Nation on British Columbia’s northwest coast. All of the more than 180 eligible voters at a meeting in Port Simpson stood up to oppose the plan to build a liquefied-natural-gas pipeline and terminal in their territory, said Lax Kw’alaams band member Malcolm Sampson. Pacific NorthWest LNG, which is mostly owned by Malaysiabased oil and gas giant Petronas, has applied to build an export terminal on Lelu Island, just south of Prince Rupert at the head of the Skeena River. Residents have raised concerns over the project’s environmental impact, citing the site’s problem-
“Why would you build an LNG plant right at the mouth of the Skeena River? There of all places.” Malcolm Sampson, Lax Kw’alaams band member
atic location and the threat it poses to the watershed. “Why would you build an LNG plant right at the mouth of the Skeena River?” said Sampson, who spoke at Tuesday’s meeting. “There of all places.” Sampson said the $1.15-billion offer in benefits over 40 years was not discussed at all during the meeting, which took place in a school gym so packed that some band members had to stand outside.
“Too much was at stake to wipe out a whole river,” said the father of eight and grandfather of 20. He described the atmosphere at the meeting, where both proponents and the band council made presentations, as “very tense.” Luanne Roth of the T. Buck Suzuki Foundation said an estimated 60 per cent of the Skeena estuary’s eel grass is located immediately off Lelu Island, which she described as critical salmon habitat. “It’s in the worst place they could have chosen in the whole north coast,” she said of the proposed LNG site.

The deal would provide 2,200 hectares of land in the Prince Rupert harbour area, worth about $108 million, and would promise jobs for qualified Tsimshian workers. Further information on the site says that in exchange, Lelu Island and its traditional plants and medicines would be off limits to Lax Kw’alaams members. As many as 431 culturally modified trees could be destroyed if the deal goes ahead, it adds. Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece said the band council would not comment on the outcome of the initial vote until members living outside of Port Simpson have had an opportunity to cast their ballots. Pacific NorthWest LNG president Michael Culbert declined comment but thanked the Lax Kw’alaams council for the invitation to present to the community. “Out of respect to the ongoing process overseen by mayor and council, it is premature and improper to comment further,” Culbert said an email.

Man jailed for assaults on sex-trade workers A 46-year-old husband and father of two has been sentenced to a year in jail for historic crimes on Vancouver sex-trade workers, including a troubled teenaged girl. Shalendra Sharma pleaded guilty to a May 26, 1994 sexual assault on the teen, as well as a 2011 assault and separate thefts on women who were either addicted to drugs or trying to earn money to support themselves. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes said the 15-year-old girl who was trying to support herself had been in foster care and was alternating between a parent’s home. Two of the women were working to support drug addictions and one was a mother who carried photos of her child in her purse.

Band chief to run for regional AFN position The chief of the First Nations band in Kamloops has decided to run for regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Shane Gottfriedson said that regardless of the outcome of the vote on June 25, he will not seek re-election in November as chief of the Tk’emlups Indian Band. Gottfriedson became the first candidate for regional chief as the 203 First Nations communities in B.C. prepare to decide who will succeed Jody WilsonRaybould, who is now a federal Liberal candidate in a Vancouver riding. Gottfriedson was elected chief in Kamloops in 2003 and has served four successive terms. He said he decided to forego a shot at a fifth term because he wanted to focus on the next step in his career.

Woman who stabbed boyfriend avoids jail A Kamloops, B.C., woman who stabbed her ex-boyfriend during an argument in 2012 has been sentenced to two years probation and is barred from contacting the man. The court heard Michelle Foreman stabbed Timothy Grahn during an argument in Grahn’s trailer. She pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to aggravated assault. The court heard Foreman was drunk at the time of the stabbing. Conditional sentence orders, house-arrest terms, are no longer available on aggravated assault convictions. Instead, Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame had to decide between a custody term of up to 36 months or a suspended sentence with probation.

The B.C. Securities Commission is warning potential investors about companies associated with a man who is offering economically impossible returns. The commission says Daniel Fernandez Rojo Filho claims to operate out of Vancouver and Orlando, Fla., and is hosting seminars on the purported investments of DFRF. It says Filho is offering investments with returns of up to 15 per cent a month and promising that DFRF will soon be listed on a public stock exchange, after which investments will triple within 30 days. The securities regulator says Filho also claims to be managing $144 billion in assets, that the company is extracting 10 tonnes of gold every month in Mali, Africa, and that a quarter of the profits are donated to humanitarian causes.

‘Hot Pursuit’ just a wasted effort Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara are mismatched in a buddy cop move lacking any funny lines Hot Pursuit STARRING: Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara Director: Anne Fletcher RATING: PG 13 RUNNING TIME: 87 minutes PLAYING AT: Galaxy Cinemas ROGER MOORE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
C
heap, short and slow, Hot Pursuit is a comedy that never lets you forget that pairing up Sofia Vergara with Reese Witherspoon should have worked better. A mismatch-misfire badly misdirected by the director of The Guilt Trip and 27 Dresses, it wastes the Oscar-winning Reese and the spirited spitfire Vergara, cast as a comically disgraced cop who escorts the wife of a drug lord’s accountant to court. It’s Midnight Run without enough running, The Heat without any heat. Witherspoon is Officer Cooper, introduced in a cute growing-up montage as the adoring daughter of a policeman father who did ride-alongs with him, pretty much from birth. A little too “intense,” she’s been reassigned to clerk duties in the San Antonio PD evidence room. Until she’s summoned to help a federal marshal (Richard T. Jones) escort a witness and that witness’s wife to Dallas. Vergara is that wife, a shrill Spanish-spewing caricature of the Angry Loud Latina. The job goes wrong when assassins show up, and Cooper and Mrs. Riva flee in Riva’s vintage Cadillac convertible. The movie goes wrong right about here, when the script for an 87-minute-long movie spends minutes explaining away the women’s cell phones. Cell phones

might clear this whole mess up or shorten an already underlength comedy. The cop is tiny, “dressed like a boy — are you even a WOMAN?” And small, “like a dog I put in my PURSE.” The mobster’s wife is bigger, brassy, buxom, and a flight risk. Vergara may play variations of a “type” in film and on TV (“Mod-
ern Family”) — “That’s RACHEL profiling!” — but NOBODY has every played this type funnier. Every word out of her mouth, in English, Spanish or Spanglish, is potentially funny. “Nice po-leeeese work Meester Churlock Holmes!” Witherspoon puts a lot of effort into playing manic and by-thebook, practicing police 10-codes
“as a relaxation technique,” delicately coming up with a feminine reason to be allowed into the bathroom — “some lady business of the tampon variety.” This never was going to be a smart comedy, but it could have worked. The script is starving for funnier lines and situations, so the two pros they cast in it strain with bits of physical shtick —
trying to drive a bus handcuffed to one another, making out to distract a rancher holding a gun on them. No money was spent on villains or other supporting players, and director Anne Fletcher undercuts the stars’ timing. Whatever might have been, the flop-happy Fletcher never lets Hot Pursuit get up to speed.
REVIEW
Schwarzenegger shows soft side in ‘Maggie’ Maggie STARRING: Abigail Breslin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joely Richardson DIRECTOR: Henry Hobson RATING: PG 13 RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes LINDSEY BAHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Would you stand by your child if she was slowly dying of a gruesome and highly contagious illness? That’s the central question that Arnold Schwarzenegger has to face in Maggie, a terminal illness drama where the malady at hand involves morphing into a member of the flesh-eating undead. Director Henry Hobson’s film imagines a world devastated by zombies — although no one ever says that word. Instead of turning to genre conventions, though, Maggie stays small, intimate, and fascinatingly realistic. Set in a small Midwestern town, society is still tenuously functioning amid the breakout. Hospitals diagnose the afflicted and set terms for mandatory quarantines before the diseased turn truly dangerous. The police, also, are there to enforce. Other institutions, though, are all but aban-

doned. Gas stations are empty and electricity is unreliable. For many, life continues as normally as possible. There are no rogue bands of hostile survivalists competing over bunkers and land and no massive zombie
armies attacking. Maggie is zombie tale that is more interested in the microcosm — the effects of the virus on the family unit and the community, not the shocks and thrills of an all-out war.
If this seems like a surprising choice for Schwarzenegger, it is. Even more surprising? He’s pretty great. The heart of the movie is the relationship between Wade (Schwarzenegger) and his teenage daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin). She’s infected and missing when the film starts, but Wade searches for two weeks to find her and bring her back to the country home that he shares with his new wife (Joely Richardson) and their young children. There, Wade waits for Maggie to transform, trying to spend as much time with her as possible in the interim. Maggie, in turn, fluctuates between all the emotions of dealing with a life cut too short — and her fatal, itchy and grotesque wound. There are a few jump scares and horror movie elements that help to break up the melodrama. Maggie’s carefully designed physical transformation is punctuated by frightening visions of what’s to come — even if it’s unclear whether they’re nightmares or symptoms. Still, everything is restrained. Schwarzenegger’s Wade only resorts to violence when protecting Maggie, and even those moments seem to be done reluctantly. His despair is evident
in his physicality and his eyes throughout. Many of the scenes take place around the dinner table — some tense, some funny, but all with the heavy fear of the inevitable hanging over every moment. Some of the more affecting parts involve Schwarzenegger weighing his options with various friends. The horrifying reality is that death is really the only solution. The “how” is the question. And yet, for as fascinating as the conceit is (and as lean as the movie is), the deep emotions at play don’t really hit as well as they should. Part of the problem is the distracting look of the film. Maggie appears as though it was shot through a variety of Instagram filters — a dusty grey for the exteriors, and a warm, oversaturated orange for the interiors. Also, even at a brisk 95 minutes, the runtime feels like a stretch. Maybe Hobson — a title designer in his feature debut — wasn’t going for tearjerker, though. Maggie, ultimately, is a fascinating experiment in genre that has captured a side of Schwarzenegger that the movies have not seen before — an impressive, exciting and worthy accomplishment in and of itself.

Smashing Pumpkins tour to raise veterans awareness JOHN CARUCCI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — When Smashing Pumpkins takes the stage this summer, part of the band’s mission will be to raise awareness of the plight of U.S. military veterans. For its “The End Times” tour, the band will work with the Easter Seals Dixon Center on a venture called “New Beginnings: Reaching America’s Vets.” Frontman Billy Corgan doesn’t see it as a partisan issue; rather, he thinks the alt rockers can help some veterans and their families that simply fall through the cracks.
“We kind of want to raise awareness of what’s going on in our veterans’ communities, we want to support families,” Corgan told The Associated Press on Tuesday at a Live Nation event promoting National Concert Day. It sounds like a very simplistic message, but it needs to be branded in a new way in American society.” Corgan attended the event with Col. David Sutherland, chairman of the Easter Seals Dixon Center. The former U.S. Army officer explained why it was important to increase public awareness of issues surrounding the quality of
life for veterans, military families and families of the fallen. “There are 1.4 million veterans from all generations living at or below the poverty line. There’s nearly 600,000 that are unemployed, 190,000 post9-11,” Sutherland said. “So it’s not just awareness as we forget about the wars. We can’t forget about the veterans.” The Smashing Pumpkins’ tour kicks off June 16 in Munhall, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh, with Marilyn Manson sharing the bill. Both Corgan and Manson come from military families.

JUDO
Nanaimo athletes set for nationals Seven fighters from local club bidding for championship medals beginning a week today in Quebec ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Come this time next week, seven of the Nanaimo Judo Club’s athletes will once again be locked in the heat of battle as they aim to attain more hardware, this time on the national championship stage. It will all take place in the small town of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu just outside of Montreal from May 14 to 17. Braxton Clark, Colton Davie,
Cheyenne Fiandor, Alicia Fiandor, Vanessa Kruger, Jarrett Theberge and Akela Szasz will leave for Vancouver on Tuesday before flying to Quebec the following day. Sensei Eloy Fiandor says he’s feeling confident, after a strong season which has seen numerous medals won by all of his athletes over the course of the past few months. Now he says he’s looking to “improve on the standings and
move up on the podium once again.” The succession of tournaments in the lead up to the national championships has been a particular highlights in Clark’s judo career. In February, the -90kg athlete won a bronze medal at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George and he believes that will stand him in good stead to push for higher this time round. “I’m hoping to do well but it’s

obviously going to be hard,” said Clark, 18, who says he’s training at least four-times-a-week at the present time. “Right now I’m bouncing between school and judo but I’m in pretty good shape and feel like I’m on a par with where I have been throughout the year.” Despite envisioning some formidable opposition, Clark says he is familiar with some of his main rivals who stand in his way of the ultimate aim.
“The goal is obviously gold but I definitely want to get in the top two. One of the guys I fought in Prince George will be there and I lost to him in the individual fights but then beat him in the team fights. “Based on my results this year, I should do and am hoping to do alright.” Ross.armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

Habs on brink after late loss in Game 3 in Tampa STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Tyler Johnson scored a buzzer-beater to put the Montreal Canadiens on the brink of elimination. Johnson scored with 1.1 seconds remaining in regulation to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 victory in Game 3 Wednesday night at Amalie Arena. The Canadiens face elimination in Game 4 Thursday night. Montreal controlled the puck and the play for most of the night but lost in just about the most heart-breaking way possible. The puck crossed the line just before the buzzer to give Tampa Bay a three games to none lead in the second-round playoff series. Brendan Gallagher scored the only goal for the Habs, who got 17 saves from goaltender Carey Price but not one more to send the game into overtime. Alex Killorn scored the first goal for the Lightning, who have won all eight meetings with Montreal dating back to the regular season. Tampa Bay goaltender Ben Bishop stopped 30 of the 31 shots he faced for the victory. After becoming the 101st team in NHL history to win the first

two games of a best-of-seven series on the road, the Lightning were worried about matching the Habs’ desperation. A sleepy start across the board made that seem like less of a concern. Then, 12 minutes in, a turnover by Montreal defenceman Andrei Markov gave Tampa Bay a chance to cycle the puck. Steven Stamkos fed Killorn with a pretty back-handed pass, and Killorn beat Price high glove side to make it 1-0. The Habs couldn’t generate much in the opening period save for a rocket of a point shot by P.K. Subban that rang off the post behind Bishop. They turned up the pressure in the second and gave Price some down time. Max Pacioretty got a backhander on Bishop early in the period and Dale Weise had perhaps the best scoring chance but was denied by Bishop’s stick that was laying on the ice. Jeff Petry fired off Bishop’s right shoulder and hit iron, and it looked like the Habs couldn’t buy a goal.
Meanwhile, the Lightning went 18 minutes 41 seconds without a shot before Nikita Kucherov got one off late in the second. Chants of “Carey, Carey” may have only served to wake Price up. With all the opportunities the Habs created and couldn’t cash in on, they began to press. But with the puck in the offensive zone they finally broke through. At 10:03 of the third, Gallagher put the puck on net and tapped it in under Bishop’s right pad. It was their first goal in 59:57 dating to the third period of Game 2. The Habs looked like they would survive to force overtime but then gave up the goal to Johnson in the dying seconds. David Desharnais returned to the Habs’ lineup after missing Game 2 with an illness. He replaced Brian Flynn. Injured Lightning forward Cedric Paquette (undisclosed) did not play in Game 3. Jonathan Drouin made his series debut on the fourth line.
An NFL investigation released Wednesday concluded New England Patriots employees likely deflated footballs used in the AFC Championship and that quarterback Tom Brady was “at least generally aware” of the rules violations. The NFL began investigating what’s now known as “Deflategate” after the Patriots defeated the Colts 45-7 on January 18. The Colts complained that several footballs were under-inflated and the NFL confirmed that 11 of the 12 footballs were under the limit. The investigation started as the Patriots were preparing for the Super Bowl — which they won two weeks later. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Troy Vincent, the league’s executive vice-president of football operations, would review the 243-page report on attorney Ted Wells’ investigation and consider what steps to take next. “We will continue our efforts vigorously to protect the integrity of the game and promote fair play at all times,” Goodell said. The NFL requires balls to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch, and each team is responsible for the balls it uses on offence. Footballs with less pressure can be easier to grip and catch. Some quarterbacks prefer footballs
that have less air. Brady said he prefers footballs inflated to 12.5 pounds per square inch. On many occasions, Brady said he never asked for balls to be deflated outside of the rules. But the NFL report concluded “it was more than probable than not” that Jim McNally, the officials’ locker room attendant, and John Jastremski, an equipment assistant for the Patriots, were involved in “a deliberate effort to release air” from the footballs in the moments before kickoff of the AFC title game — and after they were examined by the referee. The report cites evidence that McNally took the game balls into a bathroom adjacent to the field at Gillette Stadium, and stayed there for about 100 seconds — “an amount of time sufficient to deflate thirteen footballs using a needle.” Other evidence included referee Walt Anderson’s inability to locate the previously approved footballs at the start of the game — the first time that had happened to him in 19 years. The report includes salty text messages between McNally and Jastremski — sent in October and January — that imply Brady was requesting footballs deflated below 12.5 pounds per square inch. They also imply that Brady had previously been upset with the quality of the game balls.

Kyrgios upsets Federer in second round of Madrid Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID — Top-seeded Roger Federer made an early exit from the Madrid Open on Wednesday after a second round defeat to Nick Kyrgios of Australia. The 20-year-old from Canberra ended Federer’s hopes of a fourth title at the Spanish tournament by rallying for a closely-fought 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (12) victory.
Kyrgios came into the tournament after being beaten in Sunday’s final of the Estoril Open by Richard Gasquet, and also losing his status as the ATP’s highestranked teenager by turning 20. Federer said his problem was that “I couldn’t return his first serve.” Federer described his game as “just a horrible performance on the return.”

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Tyler Ennis and his Canadian teammates have time to savour their comeback victory over Sweden at the world hockey championship. Ennis’s power-play goal at 13:31 of the third period proved to be the winner as Canada defeated Sweden 6-4 on Wednesday, rallying from a 3-0 first-period deficit. The Canadians don’t play again until Saturday when they face off against France. “We talked in between periods and knew we could do a lot better,” Ennis said. “It wasn’t the start we were looking for. “They took it to us but in the second we started playing the body a lot more.” Ennis said the two-day break is a welcome one. “Yeah, it comes at a good time,” Ennis said. “It gives us time to clean up a few things.” Patrick Wiercioch and Tyler Seguin also had third-period goals for Can-
ada (4-0-0), which remains atop the Group A standings four points ahead of Sweden (2-1-1) and Switzerland (2-0-2). The Swiss dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to Latvia on Wednesday. Seguin had the insurance marker at 18:10 after Wiercioch made it 4-4 at 10:24 as Canada outshot Sweden 39-32. “We had a pretty much big wakeup call in the first,” Seguin said. “A lot of guys were talking . . . and we put it all together and came away with three points.” Swedish forward Filip Forsberg said the Canadians outplayed his team after the first. “Obviously our first period was really good, but after that, Canada turned it up and we sat back a little too much and let them come attack us,” said Forsberg. “That’s not going to cut it against this good of a team. “They’re a good team, but so are we. It was a good game.”
Sean Courturier, Tyler Hall and Aaron Ekblad also scored for Canada, which had 11 players register points in the game. Hall is tied with Forsberg for the tournament lead in goals (five) and Russian Yevgeni Dadnov for the overall scoring lead (eight points). Canadian team captain Sidney Crosby (four goals, three assists) is just one point behind Hall and Dadnov. Forsberg, Victor Rask, Anton Lander and Oscar Moller scored for Sweden, which faces Germany on Thursday. Lander opened the scoring at 5:06 of the first before Rask made it 2-0 at 17:21. Forsberg then scored just 28 seconds later as Sweden outshot Canada 145 in the period. Ekblad scored Canada’s first goal of the game at 6:43 of the second. Hall made it a one-goal contest at 11:27 before Courturier tied it at 14:23. Moller put Sweden back ahead 4-3 at 15:19.

Martin homers as Jays top Yankees GREGORY STRONG THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Russell Martin homered and Mark Buehrle worked five innings for the victory as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 5-1 on Wednesday night to take the rubber game of the three-game series. Martin finished with three hits while Chris Colabello had his first career four-hit game to help the Blue Jays improve to 14-15 on the season. The Yankees, who lead the American League East division standings, fell to 17-11. New York scored its lone run off Buehrle in the first inning. Alex Rodriguez doubled to move Chris Young to third base and Mark Teixeira drove him in with a grounder to the right side of the infield. Kevin Pillar reached on a bunt single and Colabello lashed a ball just inside the third-base line for a double. After Ryan Goins lined out, No. 9 hitter Ezequiel Carrera delivered a two-run single. Martin, a Toronto native who grew up in Chelsea, Que., opened the bottom of the fourth by lining a pitch off Sabathia’s backside. The sixfoot-seven 285-pound southpaw barely flinched as Martin scampered to first base. A balk moved Martin up a base and he scored on Colabello’s one-out single. The Yankees loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth inning but Teixeira grounded out to end the threat. Buehrle (4-2) allowed six hits, one earned run and a walk while striking out three. Martin tacked on an insurance run in the sixth with a solo shot that landed in the Toronto bullpen. He has gone deep in each of his last four starts and now has seven homers on the season. Pillar and Colabello followed with back-toback singles to put runners on the corners with one out. Sabathia (0-5) escaped further damage by getting Goins to pop up and then fanning Carrera.

outh won in hand to continue with the deuce of spades for the four, ten and queen. The club return was taken in dummy and the heart queen was covered by the king and ace. Both defenders followed to the top spades. The thirteenth spade collected a heart from East and South but a diamond from West. East discarded another heart on the last club winner holding declarer to eleven tricks, N-S +460. If West parts with a heart on the thirteenth spade, the play of the last club winner will squeeze East in the red-suits. North’s sequence invited slam in NT or spades if partner also owned a four-bagger. South declined the invitation since he held a minimum and no extras. North would rebid four clubs as Roman Keycard Gerber to ask for controls with hearts agreed. Therefore, 4NT functioned as a quantitative raise asking South to make an informed decision. The slam was not a viable proposition since South required the heart king onside and help in the black suits. The opening lead was not without risk where South would bring home the suit if North had displayed the ninespot. A major suit lead is not suggested and thus West should select a diamond as the safest beginning. Author: Dave Willis - visit his website at www.insidebridge.ca

THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2015
HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could have quite a reaction to what is happening. Make it a point to stop and have a discussion before proceeding any further. Take charge if need be. You know how to execute a goal. In this case, it might be to create more financial comfort. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll relate directly to a loved one or dear friend. You might not be exactly sure of what you need, but after a discussion, you will gain clarity. Detach, make several important goals and reflect. You will know what to do. Take the risk. Tonight: Follow the music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might decide to let others dominate. You love to guide conversations and be listened to, but sit on that need for now. Observe others’ styles of conversing and
making suggestions. A friend will understand how you feel and let you know. Tonight: Chat over dinner for two. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A partner or several people around you might have very different ideas. Make that OK, but be willing to blaze a new path and not worry for a change about everyone else’s reactions. Tonight: Listening to a different point of view doesn’t mean you will embrace it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have energy and creativity, but you might be pushing into an area that you probably would prefer not to have to deal with. Stop and look at what you need or want to take on. Pace yourself, as you will want to schedule some time just for fun. Tonight: A must appearance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide to spread your wings and approach a situation differently. You tend to stay with the tried and true because of the
comfort. Someone might offer his or her support as you move in a new direction. You could be quite pleased by embracing a new habit. Tonight: Think “weekend.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep moving forward. Honor a change, and be more forthright about what you feel. Sometimes your need to be diplomatic prevents you from claiming your power. Stop and rethink your approach. Support yourself, but remember to be diplomatic. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are likely to tell it like it is. Whatever direction you choose to head in, you’ll succeed. Honor a change, and listen to feedback from others. Detach from a problematic situation, and you will see what is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Make calls. Plan the weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to come to terms with a financial matter or
perhaps revise your budget. You probably won’t be comfortable with what you are seeing. Give yourself the time and space to handle this basic issue. You will come out beaming. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Beam in what you want, as the universe flashes a green light in your direction. Do not hesitate; just go off and pursue your heart’s desire. Others might be surprised by what goes down as you race full speed ahead. Tonight: You are on a roll. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Assume little, and you will be much happier. Be willing to observe rather than blindly trust someone’s words. You will gain a clearer insight into what might be possible. Honor a change in yourself. The result could be more dynamic than you realize. Tonight: Be unavailable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone you meet today might be seemingly cool and col-
lected, but he or she probably is extremely emotional. Can you deal with that type of personality? Zero in on an important project or goal that you can complete by the weekend. Tonight: Be happy. YOUR BIRTHDAY (May 7) This year you open up to many challenges, which ultimately will turn into exciting opportunities. You learn to pull back and keep your eye on the big picture when deciding what is best for you. Though you can be very giving, you also must remember to put yourself first more often. Travel could play a substantial role in your year. If you are single, you could meet someone quite dynamic. Depending on how you feel, this bond could become long-term. BORN TODAY Former first lady of Argentina Eva Peron (1919), actor Gary Cooper (1901), composer Johannes Brahms (1833)
Exit before wasting more time with this guy Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with “Ted” for the past eight years. We each have adult children from previous marriages. Ted has always put his daughters ahead of me and our relationship. When they were younger, I completely understood, but they are adults now, and he still does it. Ted has to get their permission
to spend any time with me. Vacations are completely out of the question. I see him, at best, four times a month, and the girls call and text constantly the entire time we’re together, always about nothing. He has broken our dates and left in the middle of dinner to help them find an earring or a pair of shoes. The oldest recently married, and she and her husband are living in Ted’s basement. Annie, he put these girls through college. They have degrees and good jobs, and yet they refuse to leave the nest. Ted says he doesn’t know how to fix it. We fight about this and he always takes their side. I am frustrated. When we first began dating, Ted asked me to wait until
the kids were out of high school and said then we’d get married. Then he asked me to wait until they were finished with college. Now it’s when both are married and on their own. I don’t see them ever letting that happen. Ted bought me a ring, which I am not allowed to wear around the girls because it upsets them. He can’t have pictures of us in his house because they wouldn’t like it. I once posted pictures of us on my Facebook page, and Ted totally lost it because he was afraid his daughters would see. I suggested we attend counseling, but he refused. He is stressed and unhappy, and being around him is difficult because he takes it out on me. I know this relationship is toxic and I should move
on, but it is hard to do when you love someone. We get along great when they leave us alone, but that rarely happens, and I am constantly depressed about it. What should I do? — Lost and Alone in Kentucky Dear Lost: Ted is never going to put you first. He is not going to marry you unless his daughters give their permission, and they aren’t going to do it. So what are you willing to put up with in order to remain with him? If you are OK playing third fiddle to those girls and will take marriage off the table permanently, you could have a nice, limited, semi-frustrating relationship with Ted. But if that’s not good enough, leave before you waste any more time.
Dear Annie: I laughed when I read the letter from “Confused Husband,” who expects more sex for doing chores around the house. I do laundry, wash dishes, vacuum and grocery shop. I don’t do it to get paid back with sex. I love my wife so much, I consider it a privilege to do things for her, even after 25 years together. She gave birth to our two wonderful children. That is all I could ask for. Appreciate her now because tomorrow is promised to no one. — Love Her Dear Love Her: We hope every man in our reading audience will see your letter and agree with you. You ought to bottle that.
