Councillor ready to take part in ‘civil disobedience’ A police sketch of a man sought following a sexual assault of a woman in Nanaimo on Wednesday.

Police hunt for pair of attackers JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

GSI proposal, “it’s going to come down to the labyrinth and the swale.” Referring to protests in the park, he said: “And I’ll be out there with the rest of them.” Coun. Jim Kipp also alluded to disruption in the park. “There is a fourth option on the table, and it’s right in front of you right out there,” Kipp said during the council meeting, looking out into the public gallery. “That’s the fourth option right there,” he said. “People standing in front of machines. People having signs. People complaining that council isn’t doing what they want. So don’t skip the fourth option. And some of us will be around for a while to hang on to that option.” The city has until June 1 to choose a remediation option.

The Nanaimo RCMP have released a composite sketch of one of two men they say sexually assaulted a woman in the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 6. Police say the assault took place in a grassy area between Ninth Street and the Nanaimo Parkway. The victim was approached by the two men while walking on Ninth Street. The suspects subsequently left the area and the 37-year-old was able to later provide a detailed description of one of the attackers, said Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Gary O’Brien. The suspect is a white man, mid-to-late 30s, five foot five to five foot seven, with shoulderlength hair. He was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and red shoes. The second man is believed to be of First Nations descent, a few inches taller, with a heavier build, and had a circular tattoo on his calf. He wore shorts and a white T-shirt. Anyone with information on the incident on either of these two men is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345, text Crime Stoppers at 274637, keyword Nanaimo, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Gord Fuller would join Colliery dams protests SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

D

issatisfaction with the process to address the Colliery dams issue in Nanaimo dominated debate during a committee of the whole this week, with two city councillors indicating they will a support public protest if a proposal to reinforce the embankment of the lower dam is rejected by the province or council. Coun. Gord Fuller said Tuesday he will take part in protests at the park if city council is forced or decides to undertake more intrusive measures to address safety concerns with the dams, including forms of “civil disobedience.” Council approved a recommendation from staff to directly award construction and design work to reinforce the embankment of the lower dam to GeoStabilization International, a firm that specializes in erosion control.

GSI has proposed using a grid system of metal anchors and concrete to protect the embankment of the dam from eroding in a flood scenario, a method referred to as overtopping. City staff have repeatedly said they have been told by engineers that additional work to raise the spillway of the dam would also be required for the proposal to be accepted by provincial regulators, who have ordered the city to fix the lower and middle dam. The province’s dam safety section has also required the city to have an independent engineer to sign off as the overtopping method, as it has not widely been used in dam applications. Getting an independent engineer’s approval is a major hurdle for the project, city staff have said, and is far from certain.

City council voted in late April to authorize up to $400,000 in spending to retain GSI, as well as the city’s consultant Golder Associates and a third consultant, Herold Engineering, to prepare to complete design work that will ultimately need to be approved by the province. The city successfully sought an extension to a provincial order to remediate the lower dam so that it could pursue the overtopping option. Months of engineering work have resulted in two other proposals. One is to replace the lower dam spillway with a larger ‘labyrinth’ design at a cost estimate of $8.1 million. The other is to build an auxiliary ‘swale’ spillway, estimated to cost between $3 million and $6 million. Both methods have been approved in principle by the province, but opponents says they are costly and invasive to the park. Fuller said that if the province does not accept the

BC FERRIES

Residents concerned after oil spill DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Some Brechin area residents awoke to the sight of an oily sheen on Newcastle Channel Tuesday. A heavy electrical device shifted while being transported on a BC Ferries truck, and a company official said this caused it to tip and release 300 litres of mineral oil (used as a coolant) onto Stewart Avenue. It created a slick 20 to 30 metres long.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS Compiled by Daily News

“As soon as the load shifted, the driver noticed, stopped the vehicle, got out, notified a supervisor and then we dispatched our own BC Ferries team down to the site,” said Mark Wilson, BC Ferries vicepresident of engineering. Nanaimo Fire Rescue and the Nanaimo Port Authority responded and took steps to contain the spill, Wilson said. “A quantity” of oil got into a storm drain. Although much of it was sucked up with a

vacuum truck, some drained down the sewer to the outfall at the foot of Cypress Street, and into the water. Monica Wysotski could clearly see the sheen from the window of her waterfront condo at Channel View Apartments. “I was up at 6 a.m. and I could see all the pink and green — it was all floating.” A concern for her is the possible affect on seals, herons and ducks in the harbour. Snuneymuxw First

Nation councillor Erralyn Thomas said under Douglas Treaty rights, band officials should have been notified immediately. “This is the second spill in a week by BC Ferries,” Thomas said. “Next thing you know, we’ll have an oil spill like the one at English Bay. Are we even ready?” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

◆ RECREATION

E&N trail proposal to go out for public input The City of Nanaimo will take a proposal to expand the E&N trail out to the public for feedback in the coming weeks, following city staff work to develop two potential options for extending the existing trail south from Franklyn Street to Seventh Street. One of the options would see the trail extended directly alongside the existing train tracks on the E&N line, at a cost of between $7.7 million and $10.8 million. The other option would see the trail deviate from the train tracks on some parts of the route, and would cost between $5 million and $6.6 million. City staff told council Monday that complicating factors for the trail construction include steep grades in some areas, a large number of intersections with city streets and the narrow width of the rail corridor in the south part of the city. The public will be invited to share thoughts on the proposal, with a public event set to take place the first week of June, in addition to an online questionnaire which will circulate throughout this month and the next. The results of the public feedback will be sent back to council later in June. City transportation and engineering staff told council Monday that roughly half the cost of the project can be attributed to improvements and rail crossings that would need to be made.

◆ ENVIRONMENT

‘Blue Dot’ designation forwarded to committee A proposed resolution that would enshrine the right to clean water, air and safe food for every Nanaimo resident was sent to the city’s advisory committee on environmental sustainability Monday for comment from committee members and staff. City council was asked to endorse the resolution as part of the national ‘Blue Dot’ campaign spearheaded by famed biologist David Suzuki. Nanaimo-Ladysmith Green Party candidate Paul Manly and author and veteran Trevor Greene made the pitch to council. The resolution would call on the city to set and implement targets and actions for protecting the environment, including full-cost accounting that takes human health and cost into each decision. A response from the committee is ordered at the end of two months. The resolution received a warm reception from council, but city manager Ted Swabey said implementing the resolution would require shifts in city policy.

Nanaimo woman takes part in important cancer-screening test DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Taking part in a study of a new expanded cancer screening test gave Nanaimo breast cancer survivor Chiquita Hessels valuable insight into her family’s genetic predisposition to the disease. Five years ago, her mother and her aunt died from cancer. Cancer took the lives of her sister, at age 32, and her grandmother. Hessels was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, soon after her mother’s death. In January, Hessels wanted to know if there is a genetic link to all the cancer in her family. She allowed her blood to be screened as part of a joint project of Genome BC and the Provincial Health Services Authority to develop a new test to identify a range of possible mutations among 14 genes that cause cancer. While some people are reluctant to find out if their bodies are genetically programmed to be susceptible to cancer, she didn’t hesitate. The result was a positive outcome for the gene responsible for Li Fraumeni Syndrome, a rare

hereditary cancer disorder. “It helped me knowing,” Hessels said. “Mind you, my diagnosis came after my treatments, but I think it’s beneficial for people to have this kind of testing available to them.” The use of a gene panel is a significant advancement in screening for a predisposition for cancer. Until now, it would have taken several tests to identify the condition in Hessels’ family. The new screening looks for mutations in all 14 genes at the same time, so results come faster. Next she plans to get her children tested. “I think the objective is to save

lives,” Hessels said. “We’re taking a step in the right direction with genetic testing. I think everyone should have genetic testing available to them.” Making better testing widely available is a goal of the study. Heredity plays a role in about 20 per cent of all cancers, and while the test can’t detect all cancer genes, the use of gene identification “is making a difference to the way we approach cancer diagnosis and treatment,” said Alan Winter, president and CEO of Genome BC in a press release. Plans are to market the new 14-panel test Canada-wide, and in the process, save health care costs. “I strongly believe genetic testing should offered when a patient is diagnosed with cancer,” Hessels said.

The Snuneymuxw First Nation will soon have a new library. The effort to place a portable trailer on the reserve to house a library is part of the Write to Read Project, an initiative of the Lt. Governor of British Columbia and the Government House Foundation. To date, more than a dozen libraries housed in trailers have been established in First Nation communities across B.C. as part of the project, and at the request of the SFN, the local band should have one by the end of the year. Bob Blacker, Write to Read co-ordinator, said the project is an equal partnership between participating parties with a shared interest in increasing the level of literacy among aboriginal people in B.C. In Nanaimo, those partners so far include the Young Professionals of Nanaimo, who intend to donate all the proceeds of their upcoming All Sport Challenge to the cause. Herold Engineering has committed to donating design work on the structure. Each library can cost up to $50,000, depending on the community in which it is built and the design which works best. While the trailers, books and computers are donated in kind, funds are needed for transportation, installation, furniture and equipment, sustainability and communications. “Our next step is to determine exactly where on the reserve the people want this to be located, and we’ll talk to the community to determine what people want to see in the library,” Blacker said. “We have almost 30,000 books in our storage facility in Surrey, including many aboriginal authors, so we already have a lot to choose from. We’re also in the process of setting up computers in the libraries.” The Write to Read Project was begun by Steven L. Point, who was sworn-in as British Columbia’s 28th Lieutenant Governor in 2007 and had strong connections to the province’s First Nations. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Vulgar behaviour deserving of punishment

R

eports out of Toronto on Tuesday indicated that a man caught on video hurling obscenities at a female TV reporter is now out of a job. Good. According to The Canadian Press, Hydro One says it is taking steps to terminate one of its employees for violating the company code of conduct. The man and a friend were caught on video yelling sexually explicit taunts at CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt as she tried to cover a Toronto FC soccer game on Sunday night. Hunt fought back by questioning the men about their conduct, but the video shows the men dismissing her questions. The reporter says she reached the end of her rope after endur-

ing similar remarks nearly every day for close to a year. “Respect for all people is ingrained in the code of conduct and in our core values and we are committed to a work environment where discrimination or harassment of any type is met with zero tolerance,” Hydro One director of corporate affairs Daffyd Roderick said in a statement. If you watched the incident, a variety of men were walking by and shouted sexually explicit statements. The phrase many of them used (which we won’t repeat here) has taken on a bit of a life of its own, with people believing themselves to be funny and shouting it whenever a TV camera is present.

It’s abhorrent behaviour, not tomfoolery. This is not a “boys will be boys” situation. It’s just wrong and offensive. It’s also part of a larger trend where people say and do stupid things simply with the hopes of getting a few seconds of face time on TV, or gaining a bit of notoriety on social media. One of the men who dismissed Hunt’s questions told her his own mother would find his antics funny. We sincerely doubt that. People looking for their 15 minutes of fame is not a new phenomenon. For decades, we’ve had meatheads running on to the field at sporting events, or tossing pies at politicians; there’s a long list of transgressors.

What is a little newer, however, is the horrendous way that some people behave, especially when they believe they can hide behind the cloak of Internet anonymity. Many people say things online they would never think of uttering to someone’s face. The amount of vitriol spewed online is astounding. The old phrase many of us were brought up with — “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” — certainly doesn’t apply enough anymore. Folks want their comments to go viral. The notoriety trumps common decency. Nor is this grumpy old people whining to expect people to be civil to one another.

Online or offline, expecting basic levels of common decency should always remain the norm. In this most recent case then, it’s heartening to see some sort of punishment might be applied to those in question. If you’re going to be a vulgar buffoon on television, you may not have a job. That seems reasonable. If you’re attending a sporting event and behave wildly inappropriately, you will likely face bans for attending such events every again. If you want notoriety for your infantile antics, you might get it, but you should pay the price. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

Ten commandments’ origin is not the point Re: ‘Much in the Bible can also be found elsewhere’ (Daily News, Your Letters, May 12) Sorry that you missed the point and were only searching for negative things to remark on. I merely stated that the 10 commandments and the golden rule are definitely found in the Bible and that the laws of our country where based upon these findings. A devout Christian or a person of the Jewish faith would tell you that God handed down the 10 commandments to Moses. If you think you can go back farther then God for your information, then be my guest. If you think there are better rules and regulations for mankind to follow in order to make this a

better world for all of us, rather than the 10 commandments, then I’m sure a lot of people would like to know about it. The important thing is that we have these commandments. What sense is there in arguing over where they came from? You don’t have to be a Christian to see the merit in using these commandments to build a much better life for mankind. Nothing else seems to work so why not give it a try? I am sorry that you obviously found nothing positive in my letter. It was never my intention to put any one on the defensive. I merely suggested a simple way to correct all of mankind’s problems. John A. Martin Nanaimo

Canadians in Holland in war had strategic role It’s nice to celebrate the liberation of Holland by Canadian forces but we should not lose sight of the strategic importance. The Canadians weren’t there just to liberate Holland, they were turning the flank of the German defenses, going around them. The Americans had tried to go through the centre in the six-week Battle of the Hurtgen Forest — a disaster

often called one of Germany’s last victories. The Canadians were the first to crack Germany’s last defensive line outside Germany. Nick Kelly Nanaimo

Island rural past recalled in Heritage Days events With hearty congratulations due to Nanaimo and Heritage Days organizers, we’d like to invite one and all to similarly remember the ‘Heritage Lands’ linking the Cowichan and Nanaimo regions. Our rural and resource beginnings fostered and fed Nanaimo and coast, and far-off lands, before Confederation. And with Canada’s 150th birthday on the horizon our rural communities will again be celebrating in classic country style, with walks and hay rides, sporting challenges and farmer’s markets, all in the great outdoors. Maybe even rafting and tubing along our heritage river, with picnics and barbecues fired up by the swimming holes. These are some of the ideas coming out of a series of meetings we have underway to kick-start a ‘Rural Heritage and Beautification’ project, that will also remember those who lived and travelled

the glory roads and heritage trails of Cedar, Yellow Point, North Oyster, Cassidy and South Wellington. Starting this summer with planters donated by the City of Nanaimo we’ll be putting in benches and art works. Come the fall we’re rolling up our sleeves to plant heritage seeds and beautiful pocket gardens, and maybe a small forest or two with Garry Oaks given by a local farmer. Early settlers, First Nations and all the families who called these lands home toiled long and hard way back when, and we want to show the Island and the world the hidden treasures we have buried here in our rural past. We’ll be partnering with local groups and businesses, celebrating with our neighbours, and honouring the history and community all Islanders share. And we’d love to have you join us, or send us your memories of times past, or present.

Greenrock Liquor Store officially open

he new Greenrock Liquor Store is now open adjacent to the Country Grocer location on Bowen Road. The opening is the end result of years of planning by Dean Gaudry, owner of the Windward Pub, who moved his licence for a private liquor store from its former location in the Beaufort Centre to the new site. At 8,700 square feet, the new two-storey location is larger than the 1,600-square-foot store in Beaufort Centre and also includes an 1,100-squarefoot room in the basement that can be used by community groups. “We’ll also be using that space for beer and winetasting evenings and other events and meetings,” Gaudry said. “The store’s larger space also allows us to have a much larger selection than before.”

chain Lowe’s is taking over the empty Target store in Nanaimo North Town Centre. The North Carolina-based company announced the move Monday, as well as its plans to move into the Target location in Victoria’s Tillicum Shopping Centre. Target Canada closed all its 132 stores across the country in February, including its Nanaimo location which had approximately 140 workers. In all, Lowe’s has announced its intentions to buy 13 Target leases across the country. Fay Laing, general manager of NNTC, said she’s “very excited” about Lowe’s plans and the fact that the empty 125,000 square feet of retail space at the mall that Target occupied will be filled again. She said there’s been no indication as to when Lowe’s plans to open its Nanaimo store, but she suspects it will be “pretty quick.” “This will be a great addition to Nanaimo’s retail community,” Laing said.

Approximately 24 servers, bartenders, cooks, dishwashers, janitors and the chef were locked out on April 24 after their union, UNITE HERE Local 40, served a strike notice to the club. Union representatives say the workers are seeking respectable wage increases to help cover the cost of living in Nanaimo. According to the union, the club has offered just an average one per cent annual increase over a three-year term, and has also refused to expand eligibility for staff to obtain medical coverage or offer other benefit improvements. “So far, there’s been no movement on behalf of the club to end (the labour dispute),” said union spokeswoman Michelle Travis.

Group questions use of land as woodlot DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Hikers and other recreational users of a 244-hectare Lantzville forest will tour the land Friday to catalogue the range of species that live there. Conservationists hired Nanaimo amphibian biologist Elke Wind to conduct a two-day study of Lot 1475, to count rare frogs, salamanders and other

species. Organizers hope the study will help them in their push to convince the provincial government to remove the land from management as a woodlot. A woodlot licence is a legal agreement that grants the licence holder exclusive rights to manage and harvest Crown timber on the land. Licences are awarded through an advertised,

competitive application process, in accordance with provincial laws. But Niels Schwarz, who hikes there with his family, questions whether it’s the best use for the land. “It’s one of the last stands of coastal Douglas fir,” Schwarz said. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Hidden beauty awaits discovery in Bowen Park Darragh Worledge Reporting

T

he Hailey Rhododendron Grove at Bowen Park is in full flower right now. It’s a stupendous sight, well worth the visit. These are mature plantings, around a half-century old. The grove was created when Mrs. Ellen Hailey the harbour master’s wife, donated over 350 varieties of rhododendrons to the park from her personal collection. Since 1975, Nanaimo Rhododendron Society members have taken on the upkeep and maintenance of this beautiful area. Several unique varieties of rhodos, thought to be results of cross pollination have been identified as growing here. Blooming starts mid-February and continues to early July, with April and May showcasing the main action. Close by Hailey Grove lies the resting place of six gorgeously carved totem poles. Honouring the cycle of life, these poles have been placed snugly on the ground, to slowly decompose back to Mother Earth. Orient yourself by checking out the duck pond, then meander left. Four of the totems are easily found, complete with identifying signage. The fifth pole is very tricky to discover. Continue on to the left, looking for a betraying flash of colour hidden in vegetation. Further along again, lies the sixth totem. Advancing decay offers tantalizing glimpses of it’s powerfully carved imagery.

Two men injured after violent home altercation JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

Two men suffered injuries on Monday after what police say was a violent altercation over an alleged drug debt. Nanaimo RCMP arrived to the house on Seventh Street after reports of a home invasion. A 38-year-old man said he was home with a roommate when another man burst into the home and attacked him with bear spray and the butt end of a rifle. During the incident, the intruder suffered stab wounds to the hands and neck that were considered not to be life threatening. After the altercation,

he then drove himself to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital to receive treatment for his injuries, where he was arrested by the police. “There’s obviously a relationship between these people, but it resulted in violence,” said Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien. Violence is often associated with the drug industry because much of the business revolves around intimidation and the collection of debts, added O’Brien. “If someone is providing a drug, then there’s credit often involved,” he said. “So if someone doesn’t respect or fear that per-

son, how are they ever going to collect on those debts?” Police are recommending charges of break and enter, assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm, using a firearm while committing an offence, and breach of recognizance against the man who allegedly burst into the home.

Nepal shaken again by large earthquake Magnitude 7.3 tremor hit hardest in foothills of Himalayas BINAJ GURUBACHARYA AND KATY DAIGLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KATHMANDU, Nepal — A new earthquake killed dozens of people Tuesday and spread more fear and misery in Nepal, which is still struggling to recover from a devastating quake nearly three weeks ago that left more than 8,000 dead. A U.S. Marine Corps helicopter carrying six Marines and two Nepalese soldiers was reported missing while delivering disaster aid in northeastern Nepal, U.S. officials said, although there have been no indications the aircraft crashed. Tuesday’s magnitude-7.3 quake, centred midway between Kathmandu and Mount Everest, struck hardest in the foothills of the Himalayas, triggering some landslides, but it also shook the capital badly, sending thousands of terrified people into the streets. Nepal’s Parliament was in session when the quake hit, and frightened lawmakers ran for the exits as the building shook and the lights flickered out. At least 37 people were killed in the quake and more than 1,100 were injured, according to the Home Ministry. But that toll was expected to rise as reports began reaching Kathmandu of people in isolated Himalayan towns and villages being buried under

rubble, according to the U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Tremors radiated across parts of Asia. In neighbouring India, at least 16 people were confirmed dead after rooftops or walls collapsed onto them, according to India’s Home Ministry. Chinese media reported one death in Tibet. The magnitude-7.8 earthquake that hit April 25 killed more than 8,150 and flattened entire villages, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless in the country’s worst-recorded quake since 1934. The U.S. Geological Survey said Tuesday’s earthquake was the largest aftershock to date of that destructive quake. Tuesday’s temblor was deeper, however, coming from a depth of 18.5 kilometres (11.5 miles) versus the earlier one at 15 kilometres (9.3 miles). Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage. At least three people were rescued Tuesday in Kathmandu, while another nine pulled to safety in the district of Dolkha, the government said. Rescue helicopters were sent to mountain districts where landslides and collapsed buildings may have buried people, the government said. Home Ministry official Laxmi Dhakal said the Sindhupalchowk and Dolkha districts were the worst hit.

Search parties fanned out to look for survivors in the wreckage of collapsed buildings in Sindhupalchowk’s town of Chautara, which had become a hub for humanitarian aid after last month’s quake. Impoverished Nepal appealed for billions of dollars in aid from foreign nations, as well as medical experts to treat the wounded and helicopters to ferry food and temporary shelters to hundreds of thousands left homeless amid unseasonal rains. Tuesday’s quake was followed closely by at least 10 strong aftershocks, according to the USGS. Early reports indicated at least two buildings had collapsed in Kathmandu, though at least one had been unoccupied due to damage it sustained on April 25. Experts say the earlier quake caused extensive structural damage even in buildings that did not topple, and that many could be in danger of collapse. Frightened residents in the capital, who had returned to their homes only a few days ago, once again set up tents Tuesday night with plans to sleep in empty fields, parking lots and on sidewalks.

OTTAWA — Canadians can expect to see multiple federal election debates during this campaign season, likely over the summer and in different formats, as part of a major upheaval in the way the leaders square off in person. YouTube, live-streaming, multiple moderators — it’s all on the table in the run-up to the October election. The Conservative Party of Canada appears to be taking the first step in shaking up the debate system, rejecting outright the traditional model of one debate each in French and English, both tightly controlled by the major networks. The Conservatives and the NDP have instead said yes to two new debates — one proposed by the French-language network TVA and another hosted in August by Maclean’s magazine. And they’re willing to do more. The Liberals, meanwhile, haven’t made any commitments, but say that the time has come to create a new independent debate commission to oversee the particulars. “I’m not saying yes to anything, I’m not saying no to anything, except to say, yes, we’re going to do debates,� Trudeau said. “I’m anxious to debate, but we will decide in the coming weeks what they will be.� The extent to which the Green Party and the Bloc Quebecois will be able to participate remains unclear. TVA has said Bloc Leader Mario Beaulieu will participate in its debate. Canada’s system of organizing debates has been criticized for years, particularly over a perceived lack of accountability within the TV consortium. The parties want to ensure the best possible set of circumstances for their respective leaders. Summer debates would also force the parties to reveal parts of their platform early.

Victoria woman has baby on flight to Tokyo

Mom irked review of baby death delayed

TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The pregnancy test came back negative, so the couple from Victoria dismissed the rumblings inside Ada Guan’s stomach as a blip. On a flight from Calgary to Tokyo just three weeks later, that blip revealed itself to be a baby bump when the 23-year-old went into labour high above the Pacific Ocean. A healthy girl was born this weekend to the surprise and jubilation of her unsuspecting first-time parents — and a planeload of passengers aboard an Air Canada flight. “Had she known she was in her third trimester, she definitely would not have gotten on that plane,” said new grandmother Sandra Branch, from her home in Penticton, B.C. “They were all excited about going and touring Japan, and then this pops out.” Appropriately, baby Chloe Grace arrived on Mother’s Day. Her delivery prompted cheers and applause inside the soaring aircraft. “Everybody was clapping,” a brightly smiling woman told TV station FNN News in Japanese, as she disembarked at Narita Airport. The new parents planned to meet with officials from the Canadian Embassy today to obtain a birth certificate and other documentation necessary for the journey home.

Woman’s 21-month-old child died while in foster care in 2013 LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A mother whose toddler was found dead in a British Columbia foster home two years ago says she hopes a new ministry review can bring her some peace — but it should have been done sooner. Sara-Jane Wiens also said a revised coroner’s report into her daughter’s death appears to have been timed to defend the Ministry of Children and Family Development against accusations of wrongdoing. “I think they’re doing a very poor job trying to cover their butts,” said Wiens. “It’s frustrating. It’s been this long, they should have some kind of answer. They just need to own up to what they did.” Twenty-one-month-old Isabella Wiens was found lying face down underneath a blanket in her crib in March 2013. A coroner could not determine her cause of death, but there were several bruises on her body and healing fractures on her arm. Wiens filed a lawsuit two months ago against the province and the director of child welfare, alleging they failed to properly supervise her daughter or adequately consider returning her home. The B.C. Coroners Service released a revised coroner’s report Tuesday that maintains that Isabella’s injuries could have been either accidental or caused by trauma. But it also includes new details, including that a police investigation concluded no criminal act led to her death.

Vessel overturns, spills diesel in Fraser River A fishing vessel that sank in the Fraser River off a Richmond marina on Tuesday was empty and had just been towed from Campbell River. The 25-metre Western Crusader capsized Tuesday morning, leaving an oily sheen stretching along the river. No one was aboard the ship and there are no reports of injuries after the vessel overturned at the Shelter Island Marina in Richmond. Michelle Imbeau, spokeswoman for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, says the slick left on the water is from engine or bilge oil and a boom has been deployed to catch the pollution. Imbeau says the ship’s fuel tanks were empty. The owners have arranged for a crane to salvage the vessel. The Coast Guard was on the scene, monitoring the situation.

The new report includes a more detailed description of the developmentally delayed child’s medical history, stating that an infant development worker was visiting her monthly in the Burnaby foster home. Isabella could not walk or stand without help, frequently fell down, and her language skills were comparable to a one-yearold, the report says. The revised report also states that no one — her foster family, social workers, medical professionals or mother — knew her arm was injured before her death. “The radiologist that examined the X-rays concluded that fractures of this type are not

uncommon in children and not necessarily suggestive of abuse,” the report says. Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said that she issued the revised report independent of the ministry. No new investigation was undertaken, but details left out of the original report for privacy reasons were included, she said in a statement. Wiens’ lawyer Jack Hittrich said the report clearly minimizes the ministry’s responsibility for Isabella’s death. He also asked why the infant development worker did not realize Isabella’s arm was fractured, and why the report appears to place blame on her mother for not noticing the injury.

New rules for casinos will hurt taxpayer: NDP DIRK MEISSNER THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — Casino operators in British Columbia are the big winners while taxpayers lost out in gaming revenue-split changes quietly introduced by the government, says NDP Leader John Horgan. Horgan said it appears that former B.C. Lottery Corp. chief Michael Graydon had a hand in making the changes before he left the Crown corporation last year for a similar job in the private sector. A government audit last July found Graydon was in a conflict of interest for not disclosing that he was negotiating his terms of employment with Paragon Gaming Inc. while running the public lottery corporation. The audit said Paragon was not given preferential treatment by Graydon, but the NDP said Tuesday it did not explore his role in the revenue-split changes and their potential benefits.

WorkSafe BC rethinks methods after mill fires Two fatal sawmill explosions in northern B.C. prompted the province’s workers’ compensation board to rethink the way it looks for workplace hazards before they cause problems, a coroner’s inquest heard Tuesday. WorkSafeBC set up a “risk analysis unit” in 2014, which looks at disasters in other parts of the world to predict if similar situations could occur in B.C., Al Johnson of WorkSafeBC told the coroner’s jury. Previously, the agency relied on claims data to decide where its focus should be, he told the inquest looking into the Lakeland Mills blast in Prince George in April 2012. The changes were made after the Lakeland blast and an explosion at Babine Forest Products near Burns Lake in January 2012. Four workers were killed and more than 40 more workers were injured, many seriously.

First Nations opposition a bump for LNG: Premier Premier Christy Clark insists the possible rejection by a First Nation over an agreement for a liquefied-natural-gas terminal is nothing more than a bump in the road for a multibillion-dollar pipeline project. Pacific NorthWest LNG wants to transport natural gas from the northeast corner of the province to an export facility on Lelu Island, just south of Prince Rupert. Clarks says she believes reaching a negotiated agreement with the 3,700-member Lax Kw’allams First Nation, on whose territory the terminal would be built, is only a matter a time. First Nations band member Malcolm Sampson was present for the initial two votes on the project in Port Simpson and Prince Rupert and says both sessions resulted in unanimous rejection.

Friendly-fire death a ‘tragic case of mistaken identity,’ says DND Shift change among Kurdish troops responsible also a major contributing factor THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The friendly-fire incident in Iraq that killed Sgt. Andrew Doiron two months ago was the result of “a tragic case of mistaken identity,” exacerbated by fatigue and a breakdown in communications, the Canadian military says. Doiron, a special forces operator, was fatally shot March 6 by Kurdish forces as his special forces unit was returning to an observation post in the darkness. Three other Canadians were wounded in the incident. A series of investigations concluded that “mistaken identity and a breakdown in communication in a setting characterized by tension, fatigue and confusion” were the main factors in the death. Brig.-Gen. Mike Rouleau told a news conference that a shift change among Kurdish troops responsible for the shooting was also a major contributing factor to the tragedy. As expected, the reports clear Canadian trainers of blame in Doiron’s death. They say Doiron’s team had visited the observation post earlier in the day and had made arrangements to return, but a shift change meant the new Kurdish crew members weren’t expecting the Canadians. They were, however, expecting an attack by militants. “It is reasonable to conclude that the Kurdish soldiers were extremely sensitive to the heightened danger they believed they were facing,” a military summary said.

U.S. oil firms oppose rules on rail hauling THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BILLINGS, Mont. — The U.S. oil industry has filed a court challenge to new rules aimed at reducing the risk of catastrophic accidents involving crude moved by rail, following a string of fiery derailments in the recent years. The American Petroleum Institute petition to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., would block a requirement for improvements to railroad tank cars. At least 24 oil trains have been involved in major fires or derailments over the past decade in the U.S. and Canada, including a 2013 accident in Quebec that killed 47 people. The latest derailment came last week, when a train carrying crude from the Bakken region derailed and caught fire in central North Dakota, forcing the evacuation of a small town.

Quake hits same area in Japan as 2011 tsunami

A strong earthquake hit Japan on Wednesday in the same region devastated by a major quake and tsunami in 2011. Authorities said there was no risk of tsunami. The Japan Meteorological Agency put the preliminary magnitude at 6.6, the U.S. Geological Service measured it at 6.8. The quake struck at a depth of 50 kilometres off the coast, shook a swath of northern Japan and was felt in Tokyo. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The agency said the earthquake was believed to be an aftershock of the magnitude 9.0 disaster that killed more than 18,000 people in March 2011, Japan’s public television NHK reported. No abnormalities were reported at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which was destroyed in the 2011 disaster, as well other plants in the area.

“As a result, it is reasonable to believe that they would have perceived any movement, regardless of the nature, to be life-threatening.”

Doiron and his patrol used accepted procedures to identify themselves, but that was complicated by darkness. “The identification procedures used by Sgt. Doiron and his detachment were wholly consistent with what had been used since the start of the mission in October, 2014 and were well-practised with the Kurdish forces,” the military summary said. “Nevertheless, it must always be noted that the complexities of conducting a link-up with other forces during the night is a complicated task due to the difficulties in accurately identifying and visually distinguishing friendly forces in very low light

conditions as experienced on that night.” Doiron is the first Canadian soldier to die as part of Canada’s military effort in Iraq, which began last fall. Rouleau said the military will make some changes in the way it operates in Iraq, but the change won’t have a major impact on operations. “We draw lessons from every incident,” he said. Of the three soldiers wounded alongside Doiron, one remains under treatment, but still wants to return to action. Another was brought back to Canada for treatment and the third remains in Iraq.

WASHINGTON POLITICS

Senate Democrats block Obama’s effort to reform U.S. trade agenda CHARLES BABINGTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats dealt President Barack Obama a stinging setback on trade Tuesday, blocking efforts to begin a full-blown debate on his initiatives. The president’s supporters said they will try again, possibly starting in the House. But they were unable to sugar-coat a solid rebuke of a major Obama priority by members of his own party, some of whom served with him in the Senate. Only one Senate Democrat, Tom Carper of Delaware, voted for a GOP-crafted motion to start considering Obama’s request for “fast track” trade authority. Fast track would let the president present trade agreements that

Congress could ratify or reject, but not amend. Proponents needed 60 votes to thwart a Democratic filibuster, but managed only 52 in the 100-member Senate. Tuesday’s vote highlighted the deep divide between Obama and the many congressional Democrats who say trade deals hurt U.S. jobs. Leading the fight against fast track are labour unions and liberal groups, which are crucial to many Democrats’ elections. Most Republican lawmakers support free-trade agreements. They were in the strange position Tuesday of losing a vote but seeing the Democratic president take the blame. “It is the president’s party,” said GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. “It’s amazing to me that they

would do this to the president on a bill of this magnitude.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the results “pretty shocking.” But Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida said: “maybe what McConnell really wants to do is embarrass the president.” Several Democrats say they will back fast track only if Republican leaders clear a path for three other trade measures. One, to renew the African Growth and Opportunity Act, is uncontroversial. The second calls for Trade Adjustment Assistance, which provides federal aid to workers displaced by trade agreements. Republicans don’t like it, but reluctantly acknowledge it’s the price for winning even modest Democratic support.

At least 220 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine Russia is deeply involved in the war in Ukraine and at least 220 Russian soldiers have died in battles there in the past year, Russian opposition activists claimed in a report published Tuesday. The report, which prominent Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov was working on at the time of his murder in February, seeks to counter overwhelming Russian state media accounts casting the events as a local uprising against the Ukrainian government. Drawing on media accounts, testimonies from relatives and other representatives of dead soldiers and confidential sources, the report maintains that hundreds of Russian troops have died fighting in a war that has cost Russia hundreds of millions of dollars. The Russian Defence Ministry has denied that any of its soldiers have fought in Ukraine.

◆ VIENNA

Traffic lights show stop and go, gay and straight Some Vienna pedestrian traffic lights are suddenly not only red or green. They’re also gay or straight. And Austria’s right-wing Freedom Party is livid. Over the past few days, the city started setting up lights at pedestrian crossings that show pairs of figures instead of the usual stick men. Some depict a man and a woman. Others, two women. Still others, two men. All couples are complete with hearts. Party officials say the lights contravene traffic regulations and are a waste of taxpayers’ money at a cost of $70,000. The city in turn says that the lights conform to laws — and are meant not only to show tolerance. Municipal officials say they also hope the signals will draw more attention from pedestrians and reduce jay-walking.

Traditional potato salad is good; but spice adds zing THE CANADIAN PRESS

S

ome people swear by traditional potato salad while others are venturing into new territory with the addition of grilled potatoes and other ingredients to create a Mediterranean, Mexican or Asian flair. Here are some recipes to try.

POTATO SALAD This recipe has all the flavour of a traditional potato salad but with a fraction of the calories, thanks to the substitution of Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. Also, the smooth texture and buttery flavour of Yukon Gold potatoes allow you to use less dressing. 1 kg (2 lb) Yukon Gold potatoes (about 6 potatoes), each cut into 8 pieces 45 ml (3 tbsp) apple cider vinegar 2 ml (1/2 tsp) sea salt, plus more to taste 250 ml (1 cup) non-fat plain Greek yogurt 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped 2 celery ribs, finely diced 2 medium dill pickles, finely diced (about 75 ml/1/3 cup) 3 green onions, thinly sliced 30 ml (2 tbsp) yellow mustard Freshly ground black pepper 5 ml (1 tsp) smoked paprika In a medium saucepan, place potatoes and cover with salted water by 2.5 cm (one inch). Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain well in a colander, then place in a large bowl. Add vinegar and 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt to hot potatoes and mix well. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine yogurt, eggs, celery, pickles, green onions and mustard. When potatoes are cool, gently stir yogurt mixture into potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour and ideally overnight, as this salad is even better the next day. Sprinkle with paprika just before serving. Makes eight servings.

PERFECT HARD-BOILED EGGS For perfect hard-boiled eggs — for potato salad or anything else — follow these steps. Place eggs in a pot in a single layer (do not stack). Cover with cold water by at least 2.5 cm (one inch) and bring water to a gentle boil over high heat. As soon as water begins to bubble, remove pot from heat, turn off burner, cover pot and let rest for eight minutes (10 minutes for extra-firm yolks). Rinse eggs under very cold running water or immerse in an ice bath for 10 minutes. If water in the ice bath warms, discard water and recover with more ice water. Drain eggs and peel. Hard-boiled eggs in their shells will keep for up to five days in the fridge.

175 ml (3/4 cup) diced peeled cucumber 175 ml (3/4 cup) celery, diced Salt and pepper, to taste Homemade salad dressing, to taste (recipe follows) Peel and boil potatoes. When cooked, mash to a fairly lumpfree consistency. Hard-boil eggs, let cool, peel and mash. Combine potatoes, mashed eggs and rest of vegetables. Add enough salad dressing to make a moist salad and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. If the salad is not tangy enough, add about 5 ml (1 tsp) each of vinegar and brown sugar and stir well again. Place in a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika, cover tightly and refrigerate. Serve chilled. Makes about 8 servings.

Pinot noir from Cowichan Valley stands out as true representation of Vancouver Island wine Lucky Gourmet Lynette Burns

T

he series of recent articles featuring wineries of Vancouver Island all seem to share a common theme; every day folks from every day lives all striving to realize their dreams. This week’s column is no different and features the Rocky Creek Winery, located just south of Duncan. As always, Mark and Linda Holford had a dream to live the island life. So they shucked the corporate world and started a winery, trading suit and tie for gumboots and plenty of back breaking labor. They did this not only for themselves, but also for their future generations. Already they have one daughter studying oenology and viticulture in university. By focusing on sustainable viticulture practices, Rocky Creek Winery will become a fully organic heritage winery. This process involves considerable risk and plenty of experimentation. Currently they have plantings of numerous untried hybrid grapes. All this is in an effort to

specifically grow disease resistance varieties. Once they find the grapes that do well without chemical intervention, larger plantings can begin. Mark’s education as a chemical engineer and his passion to be a winemaker are illustrated in the wines he makes. In the vineyard the growing practices need to be scientific. In the winery, it is science and art combined. The science is paramount and required to create a balanced wine.

Of the award winning wines from Rocky Creek, the pinot noir really stands out. This wine is a true representation of Vancouver Island’s cool climate and clay rich soils and a subtle wine of excellent balance. The vivid red berry bouquet is accented by a hint of cloves. Flavours of cherry and cranberry are well combined with good acidity and a spicy finish. This is a great food wine, bringing out the best of a baked salmon, roast pork or even spaghetti dinner.

Another wine from Rocky Creek that wins awards is the Wild Blackberry. Crafted from indigenous Trailing Blackberries and developed as a port style wine, look no further than this bevy if you are searching for an after dinner sipper. Rich and heady with lush blackberry aromas and flavour, this wine pairs well with desserts and hard cheese. Although not too sweet, the dessert wine quality in this pretty bottle is impossible to miss. Also excellent for delicious cocktails, try it in the blender with ice and lemonade as an “adult slurpy” and you will be hard pressed to put it down! The tasting room at Rocky Creek is already open for the season, providing us island settlers an excuse for a little day trip. If the weather is good, the charming grounds have plenty of areas to enjoy a glass of wine. As always, Lucky’s Gourmet Mezzanine is pleased to have the Rocky Creek team back for our annual Indulge Event. This event allows numerous Vancouver Island libation producers to showcase their wares. It also gives us locals a chance to meet the people that make the difference in what we like to drink.

at a variety of foods.” “Eat foods in moderation” and “Make sure your meals are balanced.” These are common statements frequently used when describing healthy eating. Clients often ask me what moderation is. How do you balance a meal and why is variety so important? It is important to eat a variety of foods so that you are sure to include as many different nutrients as possible. Every single food we consume has different types of nutrients. Some are high in certain minerals, some have vitamins, some have higher fibre levels and some may contribute antioxidant nutrients needed to keep our tissues young and healthy. Scientists have no idea how much of each nutrient we need or which ones must be combined to enhance good health. This is why we cannot just pop a vitamin pill to meet our daily nutrient requirements. There are so many things found in our food that we have not even discovered yet. By making sure that we eat many different foods in different combinations, we will give our bodies the building blocks needed for good health. Balance is another term often used when referring to Canada’s Food Guide. A meal is balanced when it contains at least one serving from each of the four food groups in Canada’s Food Guide. This is tied to making sure there is variety in your diet. A meal that contains only grain foods will only give you the nutrients found in grains. These are healthy foods with a good source of fibre, iron and B vitamins. However, if you add fruits or vegetables, you will also get vitamin C and many different minerals at the meal. By adding some milk or milk alternatives, the meal will give you some calcium, vitamin D and a host of other vitamins. Finally, by including a meat or meat alternative, you will get minerals like zinc, iron and the other nutrients specifically found in the meat or meat alternative food group. By combining the four food groups at one meal, each type of food contributes different nutrients to help balance your diet. Eating in moderation, means that you do not eat too much of one kind of food so that there is room for the other types of food. This again will allow you to get more variety in your diet. With children, we often see an unbalance in the amount of milk in the diet. Toddlers love to drink milk and eat cheese and yogurt. If most of their diet is made up of these foods, there is no appetite for eating grains, vegetables, fruits or meats and meat alternatives. These little ones are often labelled picky eaters because they prefer dairy over other foods. In reality, if they eat dairy in moderation, they would have an appetite for the other foods. Eating too much of any food will cause you to feel too full to include variety. Every day, try to eat small amounts of a variety of foods so you will get a combination of nutrients for good health. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

eremy Roe can stop using hockey tape for the ‘C’ on his Nanaimo Timbermen jersey. Now, it can be stitched

on. The three-year B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League veteran has officially been named captain, while Brett Hawrys and Devan Smith being picked as assistants by head coach Kyle Couling. Roe, a six-foot-five, 220-pound defensive stalwart, joined the Timbermen full-time in 2013 after a minor career with the Cowichan Valley Lacrosse Association. He replaces Brett Fleming, who was picked in the eighth round of the Western Lacrosse Associa-

tion draft in 2015 by the Senior A Timbermen. “It feels good,” Roe said of being named captain. “Having Brett last year, it’s some pretty big shoes to fill. “He made it look so effortless but I know that it’s a lot more

responsibility. I always wanted to play more of a leadership role, so it’s pretty nice to have it.” Three eyars into his Junior A lacrosse career, Roe has seen played a lot of games in this league. This team, however, looks to have more potential than one he’s ever been a part of at this level with a 2-2 record through four games that included an upset of the New Westmonster Salmonbellies — perennial contenders in B.C. The Timbermen have yet to post a winning season since their inception in 2005. “We’re probably going to surprise quite a few people,” Roe said. People probably don;t expect a lot from us but we proved that we can beat New West, and we should be capable

of some pretty big things this year.” Roe, whose older brother Tyson plays for the Senior A Timbermen and was a second-round National Lacrosse League draft pick in 2014, is in uncharted waters, having never donned a letter on his jersey in Nanaimo. He will learn as he goes, however. “It’s a lot more responsibility keeping the guys ready to go and then always being ready myself,” he said, “but I’m just taking it one game at a time.”

JUNIOR A HOCKEY

Canucks prospects coming to Shawnigan Up and coming stars such as Jake Virtanen and Hunter Shinkaruk are coming to Vancouver Island this summer. The Vancouver Canucks will hold their annual prospects camp at the new ice rink in Shawnigan Lake in July, the NHL team has announced. From July 3 to 9, the Canucks’ prospects will have on-ice practices as Shawnigan Lake School as they look to make a push to earn a spot on the club for the 2015-16 season. Practices will be open to the public and free of charge. A full schedule for development camp and a preliminary roster will be announced at a later date. The team’s roster will be comprised primarily of players drafted by Vancouver, including select choices made by the team at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft as well as undrafted collegiate free agents. Virtanen was drafted sixth overall in 2014, while Shinkaruk was drafted in the first round, 23rd overall in 2013. Other prospects epected to be in attendance are Jordan Subban, Cole Cassells, Jared McCann, Brendan Gaunce and Thatcher Demko. Last season, 2013 ninth overall pick Bo Horvat attended the Canucks prospect camp and earned a full-time position on the team.

hoping to keep up that pace with the Timbermen as he is poised to join the team this weekend. Sorenson, the captain of the men’s lacrosse team at Florida Southern University, led the country in goals per game with 3.43 as he scored 48 goals in 14 games in his senior year. He was also the first player at that school ever to score 100 career goals. The former Victoria Shamrock scored 29 goals with 18 assists in 16 games with the Timbermen last season. He is expected in the lineup on Saturday when the Timbermen host the Port Coquitlam Saints at 5 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

Snipers win Vancouver tourney DAILY NEWS

The 2005-born Nanaimo Snipers spring hockey team went to Vancouver to compete in the Canlan Classic May Madness Hockey Tournament May 8 to 10. The 2005 age division had 10 teams competing, and the Snipers brought home the gold medal. They went 3-1 in the tournament’s round robin portion. After losing their first game it was an uphill battle, but the Snipers then went undefeated with five straight wins.

The Snipers’ first game of the tournament was a 4-1 loss to the Pacific Knights, however they responded with a 4-2 win over North Shore, a 6-4 win over the Grandview Jr. Steelers, and a 6-1 win over Chilliwack. They won their semifinal game against North Shore 3-2 in a hard-fought nail-biter with goaltender Cohen Booth playing exceptioanlly well, especially in the third period. The Snipers then went on to win the final game for first place, 6-3 against Prince George. Jesse Heslop, an underage

player for the Snipers, finished as the tournament’s top scorer after scoring four goals and an assist in the gold medal game. Hunter McInnes-Prawdzik scored the game-winner, and Reece Tabashniuk added the other goal, along with an assist. Other assists in the gold medal game were contributed by Randy McLaughlin, Thomas Young and Jordan Harvey. The defence was also solid, with Hunter Smith logging a lot of ice in the final. Goaltender Felis Plendl was outstanding in net for the win, making key saves.

head. Montador, who died in February at age 35 of an undisclosed cause, had sustained multiple concussions during his hockey career and had been exhibiting signs of a possible brain disorder, including depression, memory problems and erratic behaviour. His brain was donated after his death for analysis to the Canadian Sports Concussion Project at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre, and researchers confirmed the diagnosis of CTE on Tuesday. Neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Tator, head of the project, said the analysis of Montador’s brain showed he had widespread deposits of a protein called hyperphosphorylated tau. The abnormal protein in brain cells is a marker for CTE.

The Nanaimo Clippers may have lost to the top team in Canada. With a 2-1 record at Canadian Junior Hockey League’s national championship tournament, the Penticton Vees have secured a berth in the semifinal of the RBC Cup in Portage la Prairie, Man. The Vees beat the Clippers in six games during the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup championship last month before winning the Western Canada Cup tournament in Fort McMurray, Alta. The Vees started the five-team RBC Cup championship tournament with a 3-2 loss to the Portage Terriers — only their loss since the Clippers beat them on April 11 in Penticton. However, they rebounded to win their next two games 4-0 over the Melfort Mustangs and 4-3 over the Carleton Place Canadiens. With a spot locked up in the semifinal, they will attempt to gain a more favourable opponent in that game with a win on Thursday against the Soo Thunderbirds in their final preliminary game. RBC Cup semifinal games are set for Saturday at noon and 5 p.m., while the championship game will be played Sunday at 5 p.m. Penticton defenceman Dante Fabbro leads the team in scoring with three assists in three games.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL

Canadiens run out of gas, eliminated by Lightning

Dylan Chapdelaine wins Buono award

STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

Former John Barsby Bulldogs and Vancouver Island Raiders linebacker Dylan Chapdelaine has been named as the Wally Buono Award winner for 2015, the Nanaimo Museum has announced. The Wally Buono Award — named in honour of the B.C. Lions general manager — annually recognizes the top player in the Canadian Junior Football League and is housed at the Nanaimo Museum. It is yet another accolade for Chapdelaine, a four-time All-Canadian with the Raiders who was also named as the B.C. Football Conference’s most outstanding linebacker in 2014. “Every player strives to be recognized for their ability and I am no different,” Chapdelaine said in a statement. “Winning the Wally Buono Award is a highlight for me as it tells me I am on the right track as a player and as a person. I am both honoured and humbled at being recognized by all involved in the selection process.” Chapdelaine will be given the award on May 23. He led his club with 27 solo

TAMPA, Fla. — Physically and emotionally spent in charging back from a three games to none series deficit, the Montreal Canadiens had nothing left in the tank for Game 6. Out-shot and out-played, the Canadiens’ comeback bid and season ended with a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night at Amalie Arena. The Habs were the last Canadian-based team left in the playoffs. But for the 21st straight season, one will not win the Stanley Cup. Tampa Bay will face either the New York Rangers or the Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference final beginning Saturday. It’s the Lightning’s third trip to the conference final and first since 2011. A second-round exit for Montreal looked likely after falling behind 3-0, but this team became the first in franchise history to even reach a sixth game. Coach Michel Therrien said Monday he saw an energized group, but instead he got one that was out of gas. The Lightning beat and beat up the Habs as big hits by Brenden Morrow and Alex Killorn gave way to goals by Nikita Kucherov (the opener plus an empty-netter), Steven Stamkos and Ondrej Palat. Goaltender Ben Bishop was strong and allowed only a garbage-time goal to Max Pacioretty. Carey Price made 24 saves to keep the Habs in the game but couldn’t do anything about his teammates’ lack of offence. “I didn’t play well enough,” Price said. The Habs finished the season with just three victories in 12 games against the Lightning, whom they swept out of last year’s playoffs. Sloppy hockey early gave way to Tampa Bay’s first goal 15:35 in. Tomas Plekanec committed a bad turnover in front of his own net, putting the puck right

tackles, collected a sack, two knockdowns, a forced fumble and had a pair of interceptions in 2014 while also leading the BCFC with 20 assisted tackles. He is the fourth former Raider to win the award, following Jordan Yantz in 2012, Michael Schaper in 2011 and Andrew Harris in 2009. Former Raiders coach Jim Lozon said Chapdelaine “has inspired a whole new generation of players in his community to believe that they, too, can be an impact player on a team of a higher level and that it is realistic for a kid from Nanaimo to have a dream about football.” Scott.McKenzie@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

on Ondrej Palat’s stick, and Kucherov had a perfect tip as it went between Price’s glove and the post. The goal was Kucherov’s fifth of the series after being held without one in the first round against Detroit, and he added a sixth with the net empty late. Price stopped Stamkos later in the first to keep the Habs’ deficit at one. But Stamkos made a perfect shot through Jeff Petry and then past Price at 5:12 of the second to make it 2-0 Lightning. A shot drought of 10 minutes 3 seconds kept Montreal from even swinging back. After an ineffective power play, Tampa Bay made the most of its chance as Palat scored at 18:56 for the third goal of the night.

“You can’t afford to be inconsistent this time of year,” said Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban. Pacioretty and Gallagher teamed up to break up Bishop’s shutout with 4:57 left in the third period. The goal was Pacioretty’s team-high fifth of the playoffs. “We weren’t resilient enough,” Pacioretty said. Kucherov put the puck into the empty net with 2:01 left to restore the three-goal lead and seal the end of the Habs. Note — The Lightning were without winger Ryan Callahan, who had an emergency appendectomy Monday night. Jonathan Marchessault made his NHL playoff debut in place of Callahan, and Tampa Bay went with 11 forwards and seven defencemen.

Rogers said fair prices and great service is paramount in his business model for his two stores, with the other in Courtenay, but a big part of his success is developing his own custom-made brand of mattresses to fit the individual needs of his customers. He said he donated all of his “mainstream” mattresses to local shelters in 2008. “We can customize mattresses to help people deal with back, hip, knee and other health problems and have them made in Vancouver,” Rogers said. Rogers said he had expanded to four stores, with the other two located in Nanaimo, but he felt that he had lost the “personal touch” of being there to help deal with customers, so he cut back to his current two locations. “My customers like a hands-on approach and they expect to see me when they come into the store,” he said. “After 25 years in business, I have a loyal following of repeat customers who have come to know and trust me.” John’s Bedroom Barn also provides a wide selection of bedroom furniture, with most of it made locally in B.C.

LeBron scores 38, Cavs win in Game 5 TOM WITHERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — With the “Big 3” reduced to the “Banged-Up 2,” LeBron James again showed why he’s Cleveland’s one and only. James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cavaliers held off Chicago’s charge in the fourth quarter for a 106-101 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semifinal. Showing no ill effects from a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals, three blocks and didn’t have a turnover in 41 minutes to ensure the Cavs will again play at home this season. The four-time league MVP was locked in from the start, imposing his will on a game the Cavaliers had to have. “I commend him for putting us on his back,” Irving said. Cleveland can wrap up the best-of-seven series and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last weekend. The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close and it was intense. Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but the star guard shot just 2 of 15 in the final three quarters and aggravated a shoulder “stinger” he sustained in Game 1. Fueled by an altercation that led to the ejection of Chicago’s Taj Gibson, the Cavs led 90-73 with 6:09 left and then had to hold off a furious comeback by the Bulls, who got within 101-99 on Butler’s 3-pointer with 1:18 left. Cleveland, though, got a huge offensive rebound by Iman Shumpert before Irving, playing with surprising speed and agility on a sprained right foot and sore left knee, made four free throws in the final 17 seconds. James, though, was the difference — as usual.

outh put up the king to continue with a diamond to the jack. The ace of diamonds collected a spade from West and declarer followed with the queen of clubs winning the ace when West declined to cover. A diamond was discarded on the jack of clubs as West scored the king. The king of hearts fetched the deuce from East but West persevered with the ace and a third one locking South in hand. East pitched two spades on the last two hearts and declarer could not avoid the loss of two diamond tricks. The game finished one in the glue, N-S -50. South could have succeeded by exiting with a low heart after winning the queen. West must return a spade or a club. South refused to bid his longest suit when partner rebid clubs. An advance to the ninetrick game was a walk on the wild side since partner was at least 6-4 in the black suits and South held eleven red-cards. The club game has no chance on this layout where North could be restricted to nine tricks when East begins with an unlikely trump.

CFL DRAFT

Two Canadian QBs drafted, but not Yantz DAILY NEWS

Two Canadian quarterbacks were selected Tuesday night in the 2015 Canadian Football League draft, however former Vancouver Island Raiders QB Jordan Yantz was not. South Alabama’s Brandon Bridge, who has been attending NFL camps, was the first Canadian quarterback taken at the draft when he was picked in the fourth round, 31st overall by the Montreal Alouettes. With the final pick in the draft, 62nd overall in the seventh round, the Calgary Stampeders took University of Calgary QB Andrew Buckl. Yantz holds multiple Canadian Junior Football League passing records but will need to hope for an invite to a training camp in order to continue his football career.

Redblacks take OL Alex Mateas first overall DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Alex Mateas began a historic run on offensive lineman Tuesday night at the CFL draft. The six-foot-four, 309-pound UConn centre went No. 1 to his home-town Ottawa Redblacks, the first of a record three offensive linemen taken to open the draft. And when the first round ended, a total of six were off the board, another CFL record. “This draft was packed with offensive linemen and good offensive linemen so it could’ve gone either way. It’s a great honour to be No. 1 and to be drafted to my home city, you couldn’t ask for anything better. “Canada develops some great football players and offensive lineman at that. To be labelled a Canadian offensive linemen is awesome.” Sixty-two players were drafted over seven rounds. Last year, Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins dealt the first overall pick to Calgary for all-star offensive lineman Jon Gott. On Tuesday,

“Canada develops some great football players.“ Alex Mateas, first overall pick

Desjardins, looking to improve a club that posted a league-worst 2-16 record in its inaugural season, selected a player who made 29 starts over three seasons at UConn. “When you take into account Alex’s abilities on the field, his durability, the level of competition that he played against as well as his integrity and intelligence, the selection of Alex was an easy decision,” Desjardins said. “Add the fact that Ottawa is home and this is where he wants to be makes this the perfect selection.” Mateas began his college career at Penn State in 2010 before transferring to UConn. Mateas recently attended the New York Jets rookie mini-camp as a free agent but didn’t sign an NFL contract. The Winnipeg Blue

Bombers took Calgary offensive lineman Sukh Chungh second overall. The six-foot-four, 300pound native of Coquitlam was a CIS All-Canadian in 2013-’14 but impressed many with his aggressive play. “He brings a physical presence and won’t be intimidated,” Bombers GM Kyle Walters said. “We want him to come here and compete.” The Toronto Argonauts selected Calgary centre Sean McEwen at No. 3. But the two-time AllCanadian is also pondering a return to school this fall to get a math degree. “That’s something I have to sit down with my family and discuss,” McEwen said. “I haven’t spoken to (Argos GM Jim Barker) yet but I look forward to and it’s something I hope to hear his opinion on.” This isn’t anything new for the Argos. They waited a year for McMaster offensive lineman Matt Sewell when he decided to return to school after being a 2013 first-round pick. “If we have to wait a year, then

we wait a year,” Barker said. “It’s his choice.” The Edmonton Eskimos continued the run on offensive linemen at No. 7 taking six-foot-six, 325-pound Danny Groulx of Laval. The 25-year-old native of Gatineau, Que., won two Vanier Cups with the Rouge et Or and the CFL scouting bureau ranked him fifth on its top-20 prospects list. Montreal took Richmond tackle Jacob Ruby at No. 8. The six-foot-seven, 315-pound native of London, Ont., was a four-year college starter and performed well at the CFL combine in March. Montreal landed Hamilton’s first- (No. 8) and thirdround picks (No. 24) by sending offensive lineman Ryan Bomben, a native of Burlington, Ont., to the Ticats before the draft. Calgary ended the first round selecting Laval’s Karl Lavoie at No. 9. The six-foot-four, 285-pound Lavoie was a two-time all-Canadian and is best friends with Stampeders centre Pierre Lavertu, a former Laval player the club took first overall last year.

We are all obligated to be considerate when in public Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: Last week, my husband and I were able to secure tickets to a movie that had been sold out for several weeks. We looked forward to a nice evening until the lady with the popcorn and icy drink sat next to me. As soon as the movie started, she began to chomp and crunch on the popcorn, rattle the paper bag and jiggle the soda, over and over. I tried moving away as much as possible, but it didn’t help. Because the theater was so dark, I couldn’t tell whether there were other seats available. I was stuck. Very quietly, I asked her whether she was going to be finished eating soon, because the racket was very annoying. She said she likes to eat popcorn at the movies. Afterward, my husband told me I was rude and that eating during a movie should be allowed.

I didn’t expect to be “right,� but am I wrong to expect courtesy from those around me? Why can’t people enjoy their treats without disturbing everyone else? What do you say, Annie? — Chomping in Florida Dear Chomping: It is customary for people to eat popcorn and other snacks during a movie. But it is also incumbent on those in attendance not to be an annoyance to the people around them. Crunchy stuff should be chewed quietly. No one needs to swish ice around in the cup. Your best bet would have been to find an usher and ask for help locating another seat, but these days, ushers are hard to come by. You also could have complained to the manager after the movie, which would not have changed the annoyance, but may have garnered you a free ticket. We know there are folks who believe they are entitled to behave however they wish, giving no thought to anyone else. Those are the same people who would be the first to complain were they on the receiving end of such rudeness. In public places, one has an obligation to be considerate. It is selfish to do otherwise.

Dear Annie: I am writing about “M.W.,� the retired teacher who didn’t want to go to Florida. I do not believe there was a writing campaign from The Villages. We don’t need to organize. We Villagers are 102,000 strong and still growing. When my husband retired 22 years ago, he wanted to move to Florida, and that was the last place I wanted to be. It was hot, unfamiliar and far from family. I had no interest in fishing, golf or crafts. I was ready to leave my husband there and see him only in the winter. Well, we finally happened upon The Villages and fell in love. There are all price ranges available, and my addicted golfing friends tell me the golfing is amazing. But there is something for everyone: more clubs than you can imagine, a wonderful philharmonic orchestra, choral groups and other musical venues, as well as numerous opportunities for volunteering. I am a guardian ad litem working with teens in group homes, and I love it. I found the calling I didn’t know I had. We thrive on helping others here. The Villages is a wonderland for adults. — A Happy Villager

Lack of women directors blamed on studios SANDY COHEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The Directors Guild of America says networks and studios are to blame for the “deplorable� dearth of female directors in Hollywood, following a call by the American Civil Liberties Union for an investigation into the industry’s “systemic failure� to hire female directors. The DGA released a statement late Tuesday after the ACLU of Southern California and the national ACLU Women’s Rights Project announced earlier they had sent letters to federal and

state employment officials to call attention to “dramatic disparities� in the hiring of women as film and television directors. The ACLU cites statistical evidence from various studies and anecdotal accounts from more than 50 female directors. “Hearing such an outcry about it, and when it’s backed up with statistics, it’s a pretty solid sign there’s discrimination going on,� Ariela Migdal, a senior attorney with the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, said in an interview Tuesday. Fewer women are working as

directors today than two decades ago, according to the ACLU. It cites research showing women represented only 7 per cent of directors on the 250 top-grossing movies last year. That is 2 percentage points lower than in 1998. A recent study commissioned by the Sundance Institute and Women in Film and conducted by researchers at USC shows women have comprised fewer than five per cent of directors of top films during the past two decades. But about half of filmschool students are female.
