City chiropractor solves mystery of noisy fingers

Downtown Nanaimo may host big water slide event DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Jermome Fryer tells world why our joints pop JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

A

s a chiropractor, Jerome Fryer has always been curious about the familiar sound of joints

cracking. A creator of spinal models to help patients better understand their ailments, it was in the development of one in particular that led Fryer to uncover new information about what happens when we crack our knuckles. In a subsequent study, Fryer effectively disproved the existing theory that the sound is created when a pocket of air collapses within the joint when it is pulled. Published by the medical journal Plos One on April 15, the study Pull My Finger went viral and garnered international attention. “I always wanted a model that went ‘pop,’ so I could demonstrate to patients the safety of it, and what’s really going on,

“When we pulled my finger you could see there was a coalescence of new fluid that comes in between the joints. So I think there’s more that we can do with our treatments.” Jerome Fryer, chiropractor

because a lot of times patients are like ‘What’s that noise? Is it damaging?’” said Fryer. It was in the intense observation of the inside of the vertebrae that got Fryer questioning the official narrative around joint cracking. He managed to craft a model from plastics and elastomers that makes the characteristic pop — but there’s no air inside of it.

With this discovery, Fryer then approached the University of Alberta and told them he might have discovered something. “And they said, ‘No, this has already been figured out,’ and I said ‘No, it hasn’t,’” said Fryer. A paper in 1947 was the first to suggest the cracking sound was the creation of an air pocket inside the joint. In 1971, this theory was turfed, but Fryer says “when you look at it closely, they didn’t prove it was a collapsing bubble.” The only way to settle it, agreed the university, was via an MRI scan so the joint could be observed mid-pull. Fryer volunteered to be the subject of the study and flew out to Alberta where he and a colleague, Greg Kawchuk, utilized the University’s state of the art cardiac MRI machines. What they found was that it appeared a cavity was indeed created in the joint, and not collapsed, when Fryer’s finger was

pulled. What that cavity is, however, remains unclear. Now the head of a research project with experts from the University of B.C., the Netherlands and the U.S., Fryer hopes to uncover further information that will have wide-ranging implications in the understanding of joint health. “When we pulled my finger you could see there was a coalescence of new fluid that comes in between the joints. “So I think there’s more that we can do with our treatments,” said Fryer.

Nanaimo is poised to become the first city in Western Canada to host a giant street water slide event. Utah-based Slide the City has applied for a permit to put a temporary water slide on Old Victoria Road on the first Saturday in July. The application is currently being vetted by city, Regional District of Nanaimo and public health officials. If approved, Nanaimo would break new ground. “It’s July 4 — it will be the first event in Western Canada and if approved Nanaimo will be the first,” said Chris Barfoot, the city’s culture and heritage co-ordinator. The water slides have popped up in numerous cities. They are usually set up on a public street, and are built from 100-metre inflatable vinyl sections. In January, word broke that Nanaimo was one of four cities vying to host a 300-metre slide this summer, including Victoria, Courtenay and Comox. The company approached the city of Nanaimo in March. Rachel Thomas, company event director, confirmed the company is talking to the city “on their permitting process,” but was reluctant to share more at this time. “I’m working so closely with the city and we’re so close to a conclusion, I don’t want to pressure the process.” The concept is so new, Barfoot said city officials want to make sure no surprises crop up. Water use is a concern for the event, and the city wants a recirculating pump fitted with a filtration system. Island Health, and Nanaimo Regional Transit, city streets and road and engineering departments are involved, as are emergency services departments. Online, Slide the City lists prices from $15 for a single slide to $50 for a day pass. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

EDUCATION

Baccalaureate program proposed An IB program is one of the initiatives in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith district’s 10-year facilities plan The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district may soon have an elementary school that offers the prestigious international baccalaureate program. Rutherford Elementary School principal Jeff Hasenauer told the school board this week that if trustees want to proceed with plans for an IB program in the

district, the next phase would consist of a district-wide consultative process, a facility selection process and a five-year budget plan. Hasenauer said statistics have shown that independent school enrolment has increased steadily by approximately five per cent per year, while public school enrolment is declining in most of the province.

He said that along with providing another program option for parents, the IB program is a highly recognized name worldwide by both parents and universities. “The program would offer another choice in a world where diversity of educational programs are valued,” said Hasenauer, who served as vice-principal of the Lower Mainland’s

Carson Graham IB World School for two years. “Many believe that it is an enriched academic program, but it helps struggling kids as well.” An IB program in the district is one of the proposals in the district’s 10-year facilities plan. The program, which is administered by the non-profit International Baccalaureate Organization, is geared toward offering

high-quality programs of international education. Currently, there are only approximately 3,000 schools around the world that offer the IB program, including Nanaimo’s independent Aspengrove School. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Safety appeal made to smokers after mulch fires Nanaimo firefighters have issued a plea for smokers to make sure cigarette butts are safely extinguished following a rash of bark mulch fires. A recent weather trend has caused “fine fuels” on the ground to dry out, and Nanaimo firefighters have been called out to “about a dozen fires” in the past week, said Capt. Ennis Mond. Though most of the fires were small, left unchecked a small fire can soon quickly grow and cause serious damage. “Our guys are putting out these fires while your house could be on fire, and they can’t get there, or to a medical aid call,” Mond said. The dry weather has come earlier than expected, and “we’re just trying to get ahead of the curve,” Mond said. “It’s just to make people aware that if they smoke, they extinguish cigarette butts in a proper manner, in an ashtray or proper container, and refrain from discarding them carelessly.”

Nanaimo archeology group comes to an end After 22 years, the non-profit Nanaimo chapter of the Archaeological Society of B.C. is no more. Citing a lack of volunteers willing to sit on the executive board, the group has decided to dissolve as of May 31. On May 9 the group will host a final social event that is open to the public, at the Kin Hut at Departure Bay beach from noon to 4 p.m. Light refreshments and cake will be served. There will be presentation boards which highlight some of their biggest achievements and a video presentation of photographic memories. The bulk of the group’s library will be given away and the remainder donated to the Rotary Club.

Portraits being assembled of all honoured with Freedom of the City Spencer Anderson Reporting

P

ortraits of the women and men who have been awarded Nanaimo’s Freedom of the City, the top honour the city can bestow, will find a new perch outside of the Shaw Auditorium, where most council meetings are held. This will mark the first time a gallery of all 32 recipients will be hung alongside one another. Previously, due to lack of space, only about two decades’ worth of portraits were hung in the upstairs hallway of city hall outside the former council chambers said Chris Sholberg, culture and heritage planner. A special public ceremony will be held outside of the Shaw Auditorium at 4 p.m. on Monday. The first freedom of the city recipient was Charles E. Salter in 1940, an alderman who had enlisted to fight in the Second World War, said Sholberg, tasked with assembling the portraits.

Sholberg said the one available photograph of Salter could not be magnified for a full-size frame, so the city had a local artist sketch a charcoal likeness of Salter, which will hang in the gallery as the official image. Other figures on the list include politicians, military units, civil servants and contributors to arts and culture in the city. Some of the prominent names include former mayors Frank Ney, John Barsby and Peter Maffeo; former Nanaimo MP Tommy Douglas; and Sir Denys Lowson, a former Lord Mayor of London. The most recent addition to the list is former city councillor Diana Johnstone, who was named a Freeman of the City in February. The designation is to recognize lifetime achievement or an individual who was been acclaimed in business the arts, sports, community service or other endeavors. “It’s kind of like our Order of Canada, but at the local level,” Sholberg said.

Signs of annoyance A mini-fracas on freedom of speech has ensued after

Monday’s council meeting, when Mayor Bill McKay asked audience member Randy Stearman to take down a sign he had raised that read ‘Mayor Flip-Flop.’ Stearman periodically shows up to city council meetings with a collection of signs he holds up. Examples of past sign slogans include: ‘Want my vote back’ and ‘Lower Taxes.’ One sign had the word ‘Democracy’ in a circle with a slash running through it. On Monday, McKay told Stearman: “Not only council but people in the gallery find it quite distracting and intimidating.” McKay said Thursday he is trying to raise the level of decorum at meetings. He said there is no city policy either allowing or disallowing signs at meetings but said he has received complaints from council members and the public. McKay said he would prefer members of the public to address council directly. Stearman said he has a right to hold up a sign in a public space, adding it falls within his Charter rights. He said he had already taken down his sign before McKay asked him to.

“Just ignore me,” he said in response to concerns towards his signs. “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.”

Public art week The City of Nanaimo kicks off Public Art Week Monday by installing five new pieces of temporary outdoor art pieces. A total of seven new outdoor art pieces were approved in 2015, three of which have already been installed; one in Maffeo Sutton Park, the other in MacGregor Park. A list of the approved art pieces can be found on the city website. The three that have been included so far include ‘Embarking,’ a tower of intertwined recycled branches located near the Newcastle Island ferry ramp; and Solstice, a piece is made up of two steel arches each containing a mosaic of multi-coloured glass. Another exhibit, entitled ‘Tall Crabs,’ has also been installed in Maffeo Sutton. Spencer.Anderson@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

Justice not served in Khadr court battle

O

mar Khadr is a free man, no thanks to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s obsessively vindictive government. But the injustice Khadr has suffered continues to shame us all. When the ugly history of Guantanamo Bay and the war on terror is written, it will record that Canada, alone of all Western countries, did not press for the return of a detainee. “We left a child, a Canadian child, in Guantanamo Bay to suffer torture,” his lawyer Dennis Edney said on Thursday after an Alberta court ordered Khadr freed on bail. Canada may style itself a “leading advocate” of children swept up in armed conflict. But when Khadr was abandoned to the Taliban by his father at age 15, Edney said, “we gave him no mercy.”

That pretty much sums up Ottawa’s sordid role in this ugly affair. Canada’s image as a nation that upholds civil rights and the rule of law has been tarnished by this affair, and it won’t soon recover. In the end it took rulings by two level-headed Alberta judges to spring “Guantanamo’s Child” from prison after almost 13 years in detention. Last month Justice June Ross rightly granted him bail, with strict conditions. And on Thursday Justice Myra Bielby quashed a federal bid to keep him behind bars, ruling that Ottawa failed to prove that setting him free would cause “irreparable harm” to Canada’s relations with the United States and other treaty partners. As the Star’s Michelle Shephard has reported, the U.S. State Department has made it abundantly

clear that Khadr’s release won’t damage relations. Within hours, Khadr was free. The Canadian courts have got it right. Psychological profiling confirms that Khadr poses no great threat. He admits to having “screwed up” as a youth. He is appealing his dubious Gitmo conviction in the U.S. courts. And he hopes to rebuild his life. His tough bail conditions include living with Edney, wearing an electronic monitoring device, observing a curfew and having only restricted, supervised access to the Internet and his own family. Even so, the Harper government intends to press on, obtusely, with its appeal of the original bail order. Far from being humiliated by the court’s rebuff, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney seized the occasion to launch a

crude attack on the Liberals and New Democrats for not being tougher on terror. It was a contemptible response. As has been written before, whatever his misdeeds Khadr, now 28, has paid the full price, and more. From the day U.S. troops captured him in Afghanistan in 2002 he has been denied justice, tortured, forsaken by Ottawa and tried in a discredited U.S. military court. He has spent twice the time behind bars as he would have, had he been convicted here of first-degree murder as a young offender. That’s not to condone his notorious past. He comes from a family of Al Qaeda supporters and pleaded guilty, under duress, to killing Sgt. Christopher Speer in a firefight. The youngest detainee at Gitmo, he was the only person charged with “mur-

der in violation of the laws of war,” which wasn’t even a recognized offence in 2002. In 2010 he accepted a Pentagon plea deal to get out of Gitmo, where he risked being held indefinitely without trial. He got eight years, with a chance to serve most of it here. By rights he should have been released soon after his return to Canada in 2012. But the Harper government has blocked every bid to free him prior to his statutory release date next year. Until now. There is justice in Canada’s courts, at the end of the day. More justice than the Harper government would like to see.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Firehall design may help emergency readiness

Kennel club also major stakeholder at Beban

With earthquake disasters happening all over the world, the West Coast must be on a ticking clock, too. In recent news, a new approach to training first response firefighters is good news; a new standard setting a new standard in principal. Nanaimo could be a leader in this new way of thinking by leading in firehall design. Get the firefighters’ union members all over the coast to submit their ideas of the perfect interior layout for a firehall. Then if an earthquake happens anywhere on the coast, no first-response people would be confused. Any firefighter from any town could go to any firehall and know exactly where everything is kept with their eyes closed. Put an ambulance service in the same hall to avoid three trucks going to one medical call.

Re: ‘Master plan for Beban Park sets up facility for significant upgrades, additions and renewal’ (Daily News, May 8)

Neil Saunders Nanaimo

Please permit me to provide you with what I feel is important additional information about the Beban Park master plan for redevelopment. You list the VIEX as a major stakeholder, and further mention the Nanaimo Community Garden Society (an extremely new stakeholder). You fail to mention what is perhaps the largest, and longest continuous user of the Beban Park facilities- that being the Nanaimo Kennel Club. I was (on behalf of the Nanaimo Kennel Club) involved in the stakeholders meeting conducted when this plan was first researched. The Nanaimo Kennel Club has been renting/using the Centennial Building in Beban Park since about 1980.

Prior to that they used other city facilities for many years, more than I am aware of. They have been providing a major service to the entire Nanaimo region by conducting dog obedience training classes (and other dog-related activities), in order to educate, and assist the general public in becoming responsible dog owners. It’s safe to say that thousands of Nanaimo-area people have enjoyed the benefits provided by the many volunteers in the Nanaimo Kennel Club. I feel the time is long overdue for the Nanaimo Kennel Club to be acknowledged, and recognized by your paper, and by the City of Nanaimo and the Nanaimo Regional District.

Council chooses property for proposed new town dog park ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

A new, fenced dog park in Ladysmith is on the verge of becoming reality after town council finally decided on a location. Council has chosen the BC Hydro property at Sixth Avenue and Methuen Street, close to the Holland Creek Trail, as the site for the new park. In March, council asked staff to look into the pros and cons of that site as well as Brown Drive Park and Davis Road School. Staff then returned to the table this month with a recommendation that described a new proposal for the park to be constructed on undeveloped town land close Ianna Folkes and Abbey Freedman, Grade 12 students at Nanaimo District Secondary School, fear that the stress they feel around exam time will impact their final marks. [ROBERT BARRON/DAILY NEWS]

to Forrest Field. But council decided against that, highlighting the central location of Sixth and Methuen. Staff have now been directed to negotiate a lease agreement with BC Hydro, predicted to cost between $500 and $600 per year. The estimated cost to build the park is $27,000 — $3,000 less than Forrest Field — according to staff. They stated the Methuen site was “suitable for a large number of residents to walk to.� Council set aside $14,000 in the budget for dog park work. Ross.Armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

One of the biggest fears Ianna Folkes has as her final exams loom next month is that she will be so stressed out that her mind will go blank and she won’t remember anything that she had studied. It’s not the first time that this scenario has happened to the Grade 12 student at Nanaimo District Secondary School. Ianna said that when she began writing her final English exam in Grade 10, she panicked and the bulk of the information she tried so hard to remember was forgotten. She said she ended up with the worst mark she has ever received and now with her final English exam, which is worth 40 per cent of her final grade, in high school scheduled for next month, she fears it will happen again. “I’ve never had an exam that was worth so much of my final grade before,� Ianna said. “I’ve already been accepted at McGill University next year

to study biochemistry, but if I don’t do well on this exam, my mark in the course would drop a lot and I’m afraid that I could lose the conditions of my acceptance to the university. It’s pretty stressful.� A recent independent survey of 2,000 undergraduate students who are preparing to write final exams indicated 64 per cent of them worried that stress and anxiety would result in them getting lower grades. The survey also indicated that 66 per cent of the students find their stress levels around exams are greater than in the past because they are struggling to cope with expectations and competition for results, particularly at the university level. Abbey Freedman, another Grade 12 student at NDSS, said she also experiences a lot of stress around exam times. She said she tries to put it out of her mind and focus on everyday activities, but the stressful feelings “constantly nag� at her anyway.

“It just ruins your life for weeks because it’s always there in the back of your mind,� Abbey said. “I run a lot to try to get it out of my mind. I always tend to do OK in the exams, but many of them are worth so much of the final grade and I’m afraid of failure.� Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said having provincial exams constituting so much of a student’s final mark dates back decades across the country, and is from “another era.� He said its origins are connected to the way universities used to vet candidates for admission. “It was a way of separating those who could handle the pressure and those that couldn’t, but the province is currently reviewing its assessment policies and I expect we’ll see some changes soon,� Ball said.

They are the Nanaimo Science & Sustainability Society, Pacific Centre Family Services Association’s Skookum Food and Coffee service and The Tofino Ucluelet Culinary Guild. Ensuring access to healthy affordable food, inspiring children to get involved with science and sustainability through hands on learning, and teaching vulnerable youth important life and employment skills are all topics which will be pitched. Each organization is vying for their share of cash and technical support totaling over $50,000 at the second annual event, where an “offer-tunity� fair during the reception also ensures the social enterprise community has a chance to actively network. Leading up to the event, the three finalists will finesse their presentations with the help of coaches who are also experts in social enterprise development. The trio will present not only in front of a live audience, but also to a panel of expert judges that includes Adrian Legin, CEO of Coastal Community Credit Union, Michelle Stilwell, Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation, and Derek Gent, executive-director of Vancity Community Foundation.

Friends, neighbours recall talented teen Police believe all dead from same family, including suspect LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS

CHILLIWACK — Whether singing the lead role in the musical Sunset Boulevard, performing My Funny Valentine with her jazz ensemble or playing bass in her high school band, Emily Janzen was lauded for her talents. Friends of the 19-year-old woman from Chilliwack say they had no doubt she could fulfil her aspirations to become an opera singer — though they also knew she suffered one severe impediment. But it wasn’t the ceaseless migraines that ended her upward career trajectory. Instead, her father, who claimed in a Facebook post that he could not watch his “little girl hurt for one more second,” has confessed to murdering the ambitious young woman, along with her mother and aunt. Now, details are emerging about Randy Janzen, who is suspected of killing his family, and of the daughter he wrote had been plagued by excruciating headaches since elementary school. “She was amazing,” said Emily Janzen’s former bandmate Kendra Simpson, 17, remembering her friend as an up-and-coming star. “Everyone was cheering, there was standing ovations.” Simpson said her friend would get migraines during band practice a couple times a month, but didn’t let on how bad they were. “She just sort of took Tylenol or Advil to relieve the pain,” she said.

“She wouldn’t stop. In between she would say she had a headache, and then later start playing again.” On Friday, the day after police opened a multiple homicide investigation, a memorial started to form near the remains of a large home in Chilliwack. Black-scorched wood beams were visible inside the burnedout husk of the residence, its roof mostly collapsed from a mysterious fire that ripped through four hours after police went to the scene on Thursday. A forensics van and police cars were parked outside the next day, but detectives haven’t yet explained what happened.

Raymond Norfolk, who identified himself as a co-worker of Randy Janzen at a sawmill, solemnly laid a bouquet of flowers by a tree near the house. He said that although he had never met Emily Janzen, he felt like he had grown to know her over the eight years he worked alongside her father because he talked about her constantly. “It’s brutal. I can’t believe it. Randy was a good buddy, and now he’s gone,” he said after police held a news conference and confirmed the Facebook post was part of the investigation. “I left work today. Honestly, when I heard about it I started crying. I had to go home and see my little girls, because it was too much.” Norfolk said the man described his daughter as a “lucky, gogetting girl — all up until the migraines.” He said her pain began as a child but grew so much worse in recent years that she began getting morphine shots. His daughter’s health problems took a toll on the man, Norfolk said. “He was a funny guy, but he was a rollercoaster too. He was depressed, and then one minute he was up. “And then he was down. She was the world (to Janzen),” he said, before adding he’d heard his co-worker make some unusual statements. “He kind of talked about it. If she ever goes, he’s done. ‘Why bother being here? There’s nothing left in my life.”’

Broker must pay $30K for lying to commission

Man arrested, charged in death from March 2013

British Columbia’s securities regulator has ordered a broker to pay a $30,000 penalty for misconduct. The B.C. Securities Commission says its panel found that William Wood traded in securities that were on his employer’s restricted list and set up an offshore structure as a way to hide his trading activities. The panel says Wood intentionally withheld the information from his employer and lied to commission staff and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. The panel says in a written decision that Wood’s conduct raises concerns about his fitness to be a registrant and whether he represents a risk to the capital market.

Police say a homicide charge has been laid in the case of a British Columbia man who was last seen a year and a half ago. RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman says Gary Price’s family reported him missing in the central Interior in March 2013. He says police conducted an extensive investigation, and Price’s remains were found at a property in Likely last September. Tyreman says the Crown has approved charges of manslaughter and committing an indignity to human remains against 54-year-old Guy Smith, who lives in the same town. Smith was arrested in Saskatoon on Tuesday, and Tyreman says he will be brought back to B.C. to face the charges.

Business group appeals discrimination ruling

Gunfire breaks out yet again in gang violence

An association representing Vancouver businesses is appealing a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that found its street patrol program discriminates against homeless people. The Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association says it will argue that a judge made mistakes with a judgment on the Downtown Ambassador Program. The case dates back to complaints between 2000 and 2008 that the red-shirted ambassadors were asking homeless people to leave public areas in the downtown core. In 2012, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal quashed a legal action by the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users following a hearing two years earlier involving 17 witnesses.

Three people have been injured by gunfire in a second earlymorning attack in two days in Surrey. RCMP say a man in his mid-20s was found wounded near a house where the violence erupted at about 6 a.m., and that it appears to have been a targeted hit. Officers say a man and a woman, also in their mid-20s, arrived at a nearby hospital at about the same time and that the man had been shot while the woman suffered an undisclosed minor injury. Sgt. Dale Carr says all three people were known to police and that investigators don’t believe it was a random attack so the public was not at risk. Police have linked dozens of shootings in Surrey since March to the low-level drug trade.

MOTHER’S DAY

Sharing your memories of Mom DAILY NEWS

Sunday is Mother’s Day – a chance to celebrate some truly amazing and dedicated ladies. (Make sure you spoil those moms out there this weekend). Last week, we asked you to share your memories of your moms. A sampling of the terrific longer responses (and even some photos!) follows:

M

y mom... She recently passed away at the age of 97. I held her hand and shed the tears as she drew her last breath and drifted away. I miss her. And as I think about her and look into the past I see her there as my rock of Gibraltar, my most ardent supporter. What did she do for me? When I was a kid, she tended to my every need. When I turned into a teenager she ‘rocked’ as the family mediator. And as I morphed into a mother myself, she gave most generously of her heart to my own growing family. Her last years were difficult ones. I found our roles reversed. I found myself returning the love, the support and the care that she gave to me throughout my life. Indeed, I received yet more love, hugs, and kisses. My mom was genuine. She loved her family above all else and I am incredibly thankful for everything she did for me. I continue to feel her presence. When I’m in the garden and the breeze gently brushes across my face I think about my mom and feel her presence there in the wind. I shall never forget her; she will remain in my heart forever. And, I miss her. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!! — Janet Oxler, Nanaimo ****

I

am becoming more and more like my mother. My purses are getting larger and the search for the keys within longer. This was something I always teased my mother about. Like her, I have started to carry the same kind of toothpicks , in packages like matches, that I will discreetly insert between the spaces of my teeth when I think no one is looking. I can’t see in the dark and need my sons hand to guide me to my car, the way I used to guide my mother. I startle myself when in I glance in passing at a darkened window or mirror and see my mother sailing by, her chest stuck out, elbows bent. My mouth is beginning to take on the same slant, as I remember hers having in her later years. When one is young one often disclaims “ I will never be like my mother”. HA! I often hear her coming out of my mouth. She haunts

me. I will hear her laugh coming from a stranger’s mouth, see the way she used to brush her hair from her eyes, while watching some lady on the ferry. No resemblance, just the movement of this hand can bring my mother back and make my eyes sting. When she died I was bereft, a huge hole had opened under me, a void, where the little girl was screaming “I want my Mama”. I was 41, and yet . . . . Now eight years later I realize she has not left me. I carry her within, my mother is here. — Andrea Georgiev, Gabriola

****

H

ow to put into a few short paragraphs what my memories of my Mom

are? That is a challenge in itself. She sets the bar pretty high and just turned 87 last week. She was a working Mom when most stayed home but always managed to balance both a busy career and two active girls. My father often worked out of town because he was a logger and a fishermen for most of his life and had to go where the work was, most times he took the family car to get in and out of some rather remote areas. Having no car didn’t stop us! Our house/yard was the one that all the kids came to play in and she threw the best birthday parties on the block, where every classmate was welcome. Still my Mom never missed any important activities at school, or Brownies, dance and various other lessons. She sewed a lot and I can remember hearing her sewing machine going late at night ( she had the kind you operated by

pressing a little attachment with her leg). She made clothes for us, herself and all my beloved dolls. She had a huge vegetable garden which seemed to feed half the block, both canned and fresh and a beautifully landscaped yard that everyone admired. She still does! We had great day trips to Newcastle Island, (we always called it Happy Land) our bathing suits, buckets and picnic in tow. We had overnight trips to the PNE, always doing our back to school shop at Army and Navy while there, with our small overnight bags and our kids purses filled with just what we could carry comfortably for day or two. When I became a mother myself she became the best grandmother you could ever want. She rocked and cuddled, played all the games, sewed and knitted and never missed any activity they were involved in. She was and is the consummate mother and if I am even half as good as her I will be happy. Love you Mom, xoxo — Pam Bellingham, Nanaimo ****

M

y mother was born in January 1928, in Midland, Ont. Her maiden name was Sheila Russell and she was, and still is, fiercely proud of our Irish heritage. For personal family reasons, my Mom, at the age of 16, had to drop out of school and leave home to work and support her family. Some may have become embittered or hardened by harsh circumstances . . . but my Mom still remains as the most unselfish, caring person I’ve ever known.

She still puts our needs ahead of her own and never gives up on us, even when we’ve messed up over the years or gone off-track. During the Second World War she worked as a secretary at deHavilland Aircraft. She met my dad Clare Gain in Toronto. He had graduated from the University of Toronto and was a chemical engineer by trade. They loved attending baseball games in the Toronto area as a means of fun, free entertainment. My Mom loved baseball so much, in fact . . . that she became a catcher on a ladies team just like in the movie A League of Their Own. Because all the men had to go to war, the ladies baseball leagues were very popular and in fact, drew larger audiences in the thousands to come out and watch them play! My Dad was a youngest, from a very large family and his management career in the pulp and paper industry took him to La Tuque, Que., where I was born in 1956. According to my Mom, (who always made each one of the five of us feel super special), I was born on Easter Sunday, it was a glorious morning and the sun was brightly shining while the nuns in the Catholic hospital were all joyfully singing Easter hymns. My Mom raised all of us: four sons and a daughter, in this little French Canadian mill town where the English-French ratio was 50-50 and everyone got along. In the winter months, we had our milk delivered by horse and sleigh in real glass bottles that rattled and clanked in the wire cages. It was truly a Norman Rockwellian upbringing, one that my parents “gifted” to us. When I was nine, in 1965, my Dad accepted a new position in Fort William, Ont., where they both retired and currently live. Those idyllic innocent years may be long gone but the loving words of my Mom still resound in my heart. She often quoted me the sentiments of those times from a famous 1956 Doris Day and James Stewart movie. When I was very young, Mom would often say or even sing to me: especially after an injury, hospital visit or when I was worried or fearful about the future: “Que Sera Sera . . . whatever will be, will be . . . the future’s not ours to see . . . Que Sera Sera.” My Mom has generously shared her life, fully-devoted, raising us right — so that we would ALL feel personally loved, worthy of love and to be great, caring, loving citizens to others in this crazy world. Thanks Mom! I love you so much! Happy Mother’s Day!

— Jim Gain, Nanaimo

MOTHER’S DAY

Celebrities thank their mothers in new book of the book’s celebrity kids to the women who raised them:

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Moms. Everybody has one. Not everybody remembers to thank them when it’s well deserved. In time for Mother’s Day, Lisa Erspamer takes care of that in her third “letter” book, a series of collected missives that has already covered some written by humans to their dogs and cats. The former TV executive and a team from her Los Angeles production company decided on 64 letters balanced between everyday sons and daughters and celebrities. She told The Associated Press in a recent interview it was actually the death of her dad that inspired her to put together “A Letter to My Mom,” out April 7 from Crown Archetype. “My father died many, many years ago and when he was on his death bed he wrote all of us let-

ters. After he passed, my mother gave them to us. It’s just a really powerful thing to get,” she said. “I realized the one thing we don’t get from people often is how they really feel.” Besides, she added: “I think of moms as our first love. They are the first person that we bond with.” Enjoy these excerpts from some

MONICA LEWINSKY OF MOM MARCIA STRAUS If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t still be here. It’s true. Without your love and support during the maelstrom of 1998, I don’t think I would have made it through the Starr investigation and the long shadow of the debilitating aftermath. To be sure, survival those first few weeks — drowning in a sea of fear, humiliation and devastation — would

have been unimaginable had you not tended to me as only a mother could — as only you could. DR. PHIL McGRAW OF HIS LATE MOM GERALDINE McGRAW In my entire life, there was never a single day that my dad told me he was proud of me and not a single day that you didn’t tell me. . . . I still do my best to not disappoint you. Not that I ever really could. People often joked that I could set the house on fire and you’d jump in to say, ’Oh, he probably just a needs a nap. It’s OK!’ CAT CORA OF MOM VIRGINIA LEE CORA You dragged us to church every single Sunday when I know we obnoxiously whined, you dyed red Greek Orthodox eggs on Easter when all the other kids

had pastels, and you always told us the truth even when it meant you had to deal with our backlash. And you never let us quit. Although I do wish you would have let me quit piano because all I could play was ’Music Box Dancer’ after 7 years of lessons. I guess you made up for it with all the cooking lessons. JOSH GROBAN OF MOM LINDY GROBAN Raising me wasn’t easy. I was odd, I was hyper, and sometimes I spoke in my native Martian tongue. But you were everpatient, ever-loving and emotionally connected to me in that way that was telekinetic. As an art teacher and art lover you exposed me to a world I now feel fortunate to call my home. As a realist you never let me dream without the steadfastness and work ethic to back it up.

SOCCER

Aboriginal tournament set for city Last year, it attracted 36 teams teams in ďŹ ve age divisions, but that has been expanded to eight ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

A

First Nations soccer tournament organized by the Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre returns to the Harbour City for a second year after it proved a major success last time. The tournament runs May 22-24 at Merle Logan turf, Beban Park, Bowen West and Caledonia Park.

The Aborginal Centre’s Mariah Robinson, one of four co-organizers alongside husband Luke and Chris and Wendy Beaton, says the hope is to expand and make sure the tournament turns into an annual event from here on. “We’ve not one as big as this in Nanaimo in year,� said Robinson, who says the event is operated as not-for-profit.

Last year, the tournament attracted 36 teams teams across five age divisions, but that has been expanded to eight this year by the organizers, who hope to attract upward of 50 teams. Last July, the five divisions included men’s, women’s, 14 and under, 10 and under, and seven and under. The eight divisions this time will be

men’s, women’s, masters (over 35), U16, U14, U11, U8 and U6. More than 7,000 players took part in 2014 with an estimated 1,000-1,500 people in attendance over the course of the weekend. Robinson and co are hoping the increase in age division will play a factor in boosting the number of teams that attend. “Last year was obviously the first year and it did really well and we had a great environment,� she said. “We’ll have a couple Mainland teams this year and we’re hoping to get one over from Squamish as well.�

In 2014, the winning men’s and women’s teams were awarded $1,500 each which has been upped to $2,500 this time. There is also an award of $1,000 presented to the most sporstmanlike team throughout the tournament. Glen Assu coaches at We Wai Kai FC based in Campbell River and will once again bring a few teams down Island to Nanaimo for the tournament, which he describes as his favourite on the soccer calendar. “Last year it was one of the best tournaments we had all year and this year

is going to be even bigger as they’re making some changes to the age brackets,� said Assu, who takes his teams on the road to at least five similar tournaments each season. “The great thing about it is that it gets everybody up and down the Island together and it keeps the youth active as well.� Registration for the tournament is open until May 12.

NEW YORK — Ryan McDonagh scored 9:37 into overtime and the New York Rangers kept their Stanley Cup hopes alive with a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Friday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinal. Chris Kreider breathed life into the Presidents’ Trophy winners by scoring with 1:41 left in regulation to force the overtime. The Capitals lead the series 3-2. Game 6 is Sunday night in Washington. Henrik Lundqvist made 28 saves for the Rangers, who have won each of their past nine playoff games when facing

a pass from Stepan and firing a shot to the far corner past Holtby. As Kreider swiped the air with a roundhouse, it set off a wild celebration that had the Garden shaking. The goal came seconds after Lundqvist left his net for a sixth skater. Until the goal, it seemed that the Capitals were going to win on Holtby’s second shutout of

Braden Holtby made 41 saves for Washington, which was less than 2 minutes away from its first conference final since 1998 before New York rallied. Curtis Glencross scored for the Capitals. On the winner, Jesper Fast kept the puck in the Washington end sent a pass to Derek Stepan in the left circle. Instead of shooting, Stepan hesitated and found McDonagh coming late down the middle. His shot flew into the net and set off a second loud celebration at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers were 1:41 from seeing their season end when Kreider tied it from the top of the left faceoff circle after taking

TORONTO — The biggest difference between Aaron Sanchez’s two starts against the Boston Red Sox this season has been his ability to get the most out of his pitches. Despite a fourth inning jam, which he eventually escaped unscathed, Sanchez was on his game Friday night as he tossed seven-plus scoreless innings in the Blue Jays’ 7-0 win over their division rivals. “I had a better feel for everything more so than I did in Boston (a 6-5 loss on April 27),” said Sanchez. “I attacked the hitters, I think that’s been the same game plan every time out, but I just executed on a lot more pitches tonight than I did there.” Sanchez (3-2), who hadn’t pitched into the seventh in any of his previous six starts this season, allowed just two hits while striking out three and walking five. His only trouble came in the fourth when the 22-year-old issued back-to-back walks before hitting Allen Craig with a pitch. But Sanchez struck out Blake Swihart before Xander Bogaerts grounded into an inning-ending double play. “That’s what he’s capable ofâ ¶ he tires out a little bit, but things are coming together for him,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “He was strong the whole night. He worked himself into a tough little jam there, but he got out of it.” Sanchez started the eighth inning but left the game after walking Travis Shaw and giving up a single to Mookie Betts. Aaron Loup pitched the rest of the scoreless frame and Steve Delabar kept Boston off the board in the ninth. The win was the 3,000th in Blue Jays (15-15) history. Boston (13-16) has now lost six of seven while being outscored 32-15. Josh Donaldson and Chris Colabello had solo home runs to give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead after two. Colabello is now 7-for-11 with four runs scored and three RBIs in three games with Toronto.

ast contributed the eight but declarer declined to win the ace. The continuation of the queen was also ducked, on which East followed with the three. West switched to the queen of hearts as partner encouraged with the jack. The game was now a lost cause since South could not build a ninth winner and the contract finished down one, N-S -50. East’s attitude was known, given that the opening lead promised the king-queen-jack of diamonds. Thus he showed count by playing the higher of two making it easy for partner to switch at trick three. North’s takeout double was a tad light in HCP but South’s leap to 3NT was a definite overbid. He should offer an invitational jump to 2NT (1112 HCP) since he owns nothing resembling a spade stopper and is only assured of one diamond stopper. This action is surely suggested opposite a partner who has a propensity for light takeout doubles and would bring the auction to a close. Some players would venture one heart with East’s hand despite holding 5 HCP. This action has no upside and may encourage partner to continue in the auction. At adverse vulnerability, there is some chance that E-W might run into a penalty double.

Ducks tighten grip as they down Flames

BOOK OUR FAMOUS PLANTS NOW

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The Anaheim Ducks tightened their grip on their playoff series against the Calgary Flames with a 4-2 win on Friday. The Ducks lead the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal three games to one. Game 5 is Sunday in Anaheim, where the Ducks will look to close out the series. Matt Beleskey’s power-play goal early in the third period stood up as the winner and Patrick Maroon added an empty-net goal to secure the victory. Jacob Silfverberg had a goal and an assist and Andrew Cogliano also scored for the visitors. Anaheim goaltender Frederik Andersen made 25 saves for the win. The Honda Center has been a tough building for Calgary. The Flames have just one win there — a single playoff victory in 2006 — in the last 11 years.
