n ambitious vision for a downtown Nanaimo sports and entertainment complex — as well as new residences, a hotel and options for tourism development — has been proposed for the site now occupied by the Howard Johnson Hotel at Terminal Avenue and Comox Avenue. City support, but not capital funding, is being sought for the project. It is spearheaded by Brian Martin, who owns the hotel and the roughly eight-acre property it sits on. Dan Brady, manager of Martin’s Howard Johnson Harbourside hotels in Nanaimo and Victoria, said on Friday afternoon that he and other representatives for the project met with Mayor Bill McKay and other senior city officials earlier in the day to discuss the project. “To do a megaproject like this,
you have to have the support of city hall,” Brady said. He estimates the project’s total cost at $80 million. Brady also said he is seeking comments from the public on the proposal, and said people can call him at 250-753-2241. The Western Hockey League has also been informed and is “excited about the project,” said Brady, also president of the Nanaimo Hospitality Association and the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation’s representative on the Nanaimo Tourism Leadership Committee. A request for comment to the WHL was not returned by press time, although the league has in the past stated it views Nanaimo as a potential franchise expansion, subject to a new arena. Concept drawings for the development show a 5,000-seat arena and a 160- to 170-room hotel on the site, plus a five-storey mixed residential and commercial building.
“It’s in its infancy right now, we’re still putting it together,” Brady said. A development permit application has not been filed yet and Friday’s meeting is the first effort to gauge support for the project, he said. While the city is not being asked to invest directly in the proposal, Brady said the municipality is being asked to consider working with the proponent to relocate sewer, water and utility lines beneath what is now the parking lot of the Howard Johnson. Brady said the aim is also to have the city support the facility by running some of its recreational programming through the arena. “We would like the city to have it as part of their inventory for ice time, or floor time,” Brady said. A private-sector partner may also be sought for the arena portion of the project.

Mayor Bill McKay said he wants to learn more about the project, but wants specific details on what sort of commitments — financial and otherwise — that the city may be asked to make to the project. He said residents of the city will also have questions. “We’ve got to have the answers to those questions,” he said. “It’s an intriguing project.” Projects like these often spur growth in downtown areas, said the mayor. “It’s a great starting point, no ifs or buts about it,” McKay added. “I don’t think there’s anyone on council who wouldn’t want to see redevelopment on that site.”

OPINION
We’re only two decades behind Serious consideration should be given by our city leaders to the latest proposal for downtown arena Philip Wolf Between the Lines “I don’t want to work, I want to bang on the drum all day; I don’t want to play, I just want to bang on the drum all day.” — Todd Rundgren
A
dmit it. You’re now singing that song to yourself. As anyone familiar with this space can tell you, I’ve been beating my own drum for more than two decades now. The drum in question being Nanaimo’s need for a sports and entertainment complex. I was thumping those skins long before the powers that be built the Port Theatre. Long before they built the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre. (Things we need). Long, long before they became enamoured with pale pachyderms (thing we don’t need quite so much). During my so-far-fruitless campaign, I’ve seen and heard every type of rumour and plan. I’ve heard about multiplexes planned for downtown. And Beban Park. And up by VIU. And in Lantzville. I’ve listened to politicians promise that it was their No. 1 priority, then flip-flop like a marlin unwilling to be pulled into a boat. I’ve seen people with enough cash to build a rink with their pocket change. I’ve seen people with less real money than I have under the seat in my truck. Mostly, I’ve seen anyone interested in building such a project run smackdab into a bureaucratic brick wall. Although the siren song of one of your youthful infatuations will always hold
The Millstone Gateway Project, proposed for downtown Nanaimo, features a new hotel, sports and entertainment arena, residences and more.
some allure, in recent years I have become pessimistic to the point of indifference. Pointing out that if the cognoscenti had actually listened, the city wouldn’t be a generation behind and taxpayers would have countless more millions still in their jeans now bores me. My son wasn’t even a glimmer in my eye when I pulled out my drums. Now, he’s off to university. But there’s always hope. I felt a significant number of pessimism layers peel back after a chat with Dan Brady on Friday afternoon.
Brady has long been known in Nanaimo circles as someone who can get things done behind the scenes. Having him step out front as a key proponent for the Millstone Gateway Project (see today’s Daily News Page A1 for more details) has to be seen as a monumental positive. Knowing that his group already owns the eight-acre downtown parcel of land for the proposed development (including a new arena, hotel, residences, options for tourism and more) is also a huge plus.
Knowing the Western Hockey League is aware of the project and is anxious to place a team in Nanaimo checks off another box. Receiving positive feedback from the Snuneymuxw First Nation? Outstanding. Without endlessly revisiting old arguments, this really should happen in short order. The group has done the required homework and is not asking for the city to build the facility, just provide a positive partnership. It’s something the city has needed since the days of my
once-glorious mullet. It’s a chance to see we really do have a different leadership group with the vision required to carry the city forward. If we just see more of the sameold, same-old and this latest group can’t get it done, it’s likely never happening. I’d hate to have to sell off my drums. » Daily News managing editor Philip Wolf can be reached via email at philip.wolf@nanaimodailynews.com, by phone at 250-729-4240 or on Twitter @philipwolf13.

Trustees send facilities plan back to district staff
RCMP issue warning regarding ‘CRA’ fraud
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district trustees have sent a proposed new facilities plan that called for four school closures next year back to staff members. The revised long-range facilities plan, tabled this week, called for the closures of Rutherford and Departure Bay elementary schools and North Cedar Intermediate and Woodlands Secondary schools in June of 2016, among other proposals. But board chairman Steve Rae said trustees “have a lot of questions” around the updated plan and the board will “work closely” with staff during the summer to clarify the district’s strategy for its buildings. He said once a plan that is acceptable to the board is tabled, the district will hold a public meeting, probably in September, to present the new strategy. “This is just the opening volley in what will likely be a six-month process,” Rae said. “There is no question that we are experiencing declining enrolment in the district and the public has made it clear that

they want to see some school closures and consolidations. “But time will tell if this is the plan we want and no final decisions will be made until at least November after public consultations.” In April, trustees gave staff until the end of June to revise the district’s facilities plan to take into account the board’s decision at the time to re-open Cedar Secondary School. The plan that was tabled would have seen students from the aging Woodlands Secondary School transferred to Nanaimo District and Wellington secondary schools in the fall of 2016. Students from Departure Bay
and Rutherford elementary schools were to be transferred to Frank J. Ney Elementary School, which would have a new wing added. Among other proposals in the plan was the creation of a NDSS advisory committee that would be tasked to develop a recommendation of next steps for the redevelopment of NDSS and its 14.1-hectare site. The site, located adjacent to Vancouver Island University, also contains the school board office, district machine shops, school bus depot, Serauxmen Stadium and the Rotary Bowl. The plan also called for the creation of a Ladysmith zone advisory committee to begin conservations with the community for the next steps for the redevelopment of school facilities in that area.

ROSS ARMOUR DALY NEWS
The Nanaimo RCMP has issued a warning to locals over a fraud scheme that uses the name of the Canada Revenue Agency. Const. Gary O’Brien says the detachment has already received dozens of phone calls from concerned citizens. The fraud involves either an aggressive phone call threatening arrest over non-payment of alleged owed funds, or an email regarding overpayment of funds from the CRA and a refund is offered. A male on the other end of the call identifies himself as ‘Officer Tony Williams from the CRA.’ The man says to the recipient that $1,200 is owed in federal taxes and if it is not paid immediately, then a warrant for an arrest will be issued. The phone number has a 613 area code, which is Ottawa. The email indicates an interac e-transfer from the CRA presenting the refund. It then directs you to click on a link which then asks for personal information such as your date of birth, social insurance number and debit card information. O’Brien has some simple advice — hang up.
O’BRIEN
“Government agencies never ask for personal information such as your SIN number and date of birth,” O’Brien said of the suspicious call. About the email, O’Brien says “any link that you get that’s extremely long, that’s a red flag right away and 99.9 per cent of the time it’s either fraudulent or leads you to a virus of some sort. “If people get hold of your debit card details, they can get information on your credit rating and check into it.” For information visit www. bc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca or www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

PM’s priority must be to clean up Senate
P
rime Minister Stephen Harper has a Senate problem on his hands that just won’t go away. The spending scandals that have erupted under his nose have discredited the Conservative brand and infuriated voters. And they aren’t going away as a federal election heaves into view. Canadians are fed up with the self-indulgent, unaccountable Red Chamber and its $89-million cost. Many have lost hope that it can fix itself. More want it abolished than want it reformed. That sentiment will only be reinforced by the Senate leadership’s tepid reaction to Auditor General Michael Ferguson’s damning report on misspending, which dropped like a judicial verdict on Tuesday. Basically, it confirmed that the Senate can’t be trusted to police itself. Senate Speaker Leo Housakos and the Conservative and Liberal leaders paid the requisite lip ser-
vice to Ferguson’s call for more “oversight, accountability, and transparency.” But they couldn’t bring themselves to endorse his specific recommendations. The best they could come up with was a promise to “carefully consider” his views. Indeed, they gave the impression that they have already resolved the big issue by appointing former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie to adjudicate their disputes with the auditor. That won’t wash with the public. What’s needed, as Ferguson rightly pointed out, is a wholesale culture shift. That requires a “transformational change in the way expenses are claimed, managed, controlled and reviewed,” to provide the oversight, accountability, and transparency that are now lacking, he found. Many senators still fail to grasp that their expenses must be “justifiable, reasonable, and appropriate.”
The Senate needs an oversight panel with a majority from outside the Senate to rule on the admissibility of expense claims, Ferguson found. Binnie’s appointment, while “a step in the right direction,” is just one element of a fix, Ferguson said. He also says his office should have a “clear mandate” to conduct regular audits to promote prudence in spending taxpayers’ dollars. He’s right, and rather than bob and weave the Senate leadership should adopt his findings. Ferguson’s exhaustive audit didn’t turn up the occasional good-faith error. He found $1 million in questionable spending by 30 senators. That includes 23 of the 85 sitting senators, one in four. Something is very wrong. As has been reported, senators were flying to wedding anniversaries on the public dime; improperly claiming living expenses; keeping sloppy records; flying business class on
short trips; racking up heavy roaming charges on cellphones; and claiming per diems when they could get free meals. Ferguson urged that police investigate two sitting senators and seven retired ones. This taints the entire institution. Moreover, the Senate leaders’ immediate response was anything but reassuring. Anxious to shake off this scandal, prominent senators grudgingly agreed to repay expenses flagged by the audit team. But not before they groused that they had all been acting in good faith and in compliance with the rules. Some took issue with Ferguson’s judgment, suggesting he’s a nitpicker. Clearly, some still don’t get the message. All this lands at Harper’s feet. The Conservatives hold 50 of 85 Senate seats, and Harper has 20 vacancies to fill. The Tory-majority Commons also approves two-thirds of the Senate budget.
What Harper decides, goes. And what has been going on is plain ugly. At this late date Harper cannot undo the damage done by his unwise appointments of Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin; his slippery handling of the expenses scandal; and the Senate leadership’s panicky, self-serving efforts at damage control. Harper’s lack of judgment has shamed the party, and his vow to govern with “integrity and transparency” has been exposed as hollow. Conservatives will carry all this into the coming campaign. What Harper can and should do is tell his senators to stop temporizing, heed the auditor and clean up this sordid mess.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Questionable rail project can’t gobble up our cash Re: ‘Never-ending rail saga borders on pointless’ (Our View, Daily News, June 10) I agree wholeheartedly with the editorial. Don’t get me wrong; I love trains. But, I also live firmly in today, and there is no defensible reason why we need to re-open the E&N. Based upon my experience of the cost of rail infrastructure, I suggest that the actual cost of bringing the line between Esquimalt and Nanaimo up to passenger train standards is many times that quoted. And, then what? Railways are expensive to operate and generally don’t show a (real) profit even when given a monopoly to operate between two very large cities. Who pays for the stations; the staff; and the hundreds of items and services that would be required? So how can anyone expect to operate in our relatively sparsely populated corridor? Governments can’t provide public funding for such a venture. It would be a far better use of the right-of-way and our dollars to
spend our efforts developing a first class hiking, cycling and walking trail. We could also use the corridor as a fibre optic channel. This would also be used by many, and would attract riders and hikers from the rest of the world. I like nostalgia as much as the next person, but let’s all be realistic. We live in one of the greatest areas in the world, and the last thing we need is a money-losing train.
sion, maybe BC Ferries could even be talked into allowing a raised walkway to continue over its parking lot for a seamless walking/ biking connection from Departure Bay to downtown. Imagine the impact that would have on Nanaimo’s liveability for residents and its attraction for visitors. Or we could just splash all our tax dough over the spillway of Colliery Dams. Scott Littlejohn Nanaimo
Peter Russell Parksville
Take money meant for dams, spend it on city When I look at the potential cost of what the Provincial Dams Safety branch want us city taxpayers to pay out to ‘fix’ the unbroken Colliery dams, I think of what else that money could be spent on. I couldn’t help but notice that amount is about the same as the cost to extend the Harbourfront walkway from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal to Departure Bay beach. And if we built the seawall exten-
Legacy of Bill C-51 will be more fear in Canada Bill C-51 has been forced through despite Canadian public outrage. I am, today, now more fearful than I was yesterday, before C-51. Of CSIS? Espionage? Terrorists? I’m afraid of our police, those sworn to ostensibly “serve and protect” me. Bill C -51 creates another layer of mistrust between our law enforcement folks and we, the public. The U.S. militarization of local police is YouTubed daily for all to see, especially of predominantly
white police working in black neighbourhoods. Remember when police would visit school classrooms without wearing body armour or a gun? Grandpa used to say, “everything has a price.” I predict the continual escalation of the politics of fear, as exemplified by C-51, will result in more tragedies of more citizens killed by police because their job seems more dangerous to them now, and more policemen killed out of anger and fear reaction by the public toward the police they don’t understand, as they dispassionately enforce laws foisted upon them by our self-serving politicians. Our fear is becoming deeply systemic and institutionalized. The gap widens. Jordan Ellis Nanaimo Letters must include your hometown and a daytime phone number for verification purposes only.

Western Forest Products is investing another $28 million into its Duke Point sawmill. The forest company also announced this week that another $2 million is being invested into its mills in Ladysmith and Chemainus. The upgrades are part of a $125-million capital plan by WFP to become more competitive and line up new markets. The Duke Point mill will use the funding for improvements to modernize the facility and its planer mill, including installing new automatic grading technology intended to boost productivity and cut production costs. “Our harvesting strategies and continued demand for our western red cedar and specialty lumber products allows us to make the needed strategic capital investment at this time,” said Lee Downey, chairman of WFP. WFP previously invested $10 million into its Duke Point mill last year as part of continuing upgrades at the facility after it permanently closed its sawmill in downtown Nanaimo. At the time, a company spokeswoman said the market for niche products made from red cedar — including mouldings, outdoor decks and patios — that are being produced at the Duke Point mill was increasing globally, along with the demand for dimensional lumber that is used for house construction. As part of the restructuring plan at the time, 49 of the 62 employees at the downtown mill were transferred to Duke Point. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234 » We want to hear from you.

Plane carrying three crashes near Inuit village Quebec provincial police are investigating a plane crash with three people on board near the remote community of Kangirsuk. A spokesman for Transportation Safety Board says the plane, a Piper Aztec twin-engine light aircraft, likely went down Thursday evening. There were no witnesses to the crash, about two kilometres outside the small Inuit village on the northwestern shore of Ungava Bay in Quebec’s Nunavik region. A first emergency distress signal was captured by satellite late Thursday and the Canadian Forces base in Trenton, Ont. dispatched a Hercules aircraft to the area.

New nutrition labels would highlight sugar Health Canada is proposing redesigned nutrition labels that would highlight when food products contain a lot of sugar. The new labelling rules would also standardize serving sizes to make it easier for consumers to compare nutrient contents of similar products. The proposed changes come in response to criticism from consumers, dietitians and health professionals that current labels are difficult to decipher and inconsistent. The proposed changes are the result of feedback from more than 10,000 Canadians — including parents, consumers, members of health organizations and the food industry — last year.

Arrest in Amanda Lindhout kidnapping made by RCMP Ali Omar Ader, a Somalian national, faces a criminal charge of hostage-taking JIM BRONSKILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Almost seven years after the overseas hostage-taking of former Canadian freelance journalist Amanda Lindhout, the RCMP have arrested and charged a Somalian man with the crime. Lindhout and photographer Nigel Brennan were seized by young gunmen near strife-torn Mogadishu, Somalia, in August 2008. Both were released on Nov. 25, 2009. The Mounties say Ali Omar Ader, a Somalian national, faces a criminal charge of hostage-taking for his purported role as a negotiator. He was arrested Thursday in Ottawa. The RCMP say Ader, 37, had been in town for a few days but the national police force would not reveal how he arrived in Canada. Successfully prosecuting such a case “depends on a certain level of discretion,� RCMP assistant commissioner James Malizia told a news conference Friday. The RCMP’s Ottawa Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, supporting RCMP units and partner agencies have been working on the case ever since the abduction seven years ago, Malizia said.

and wiretaps — would come out in court, he said. “This investigation posed a number of significant challenges as it was carried out in an
extremely high-risk environment in a country plagued with political instability.� Malizia declined to say whether the Somalian government was aware of the probe. Ader stood emotionless with his arms behind his back during a brief court appearance by video link Friday. The matter was adjourned until June 19. “We have very little information we can effectively relay to you with confidence,� said his lawyer, Samir Adam. “Because it’s so early in the process, we’re not really able to comment.� Lindhout, 34, has published a
best-selling memoir of her traumatic experience, in which she reveals being sexually assaulted in captivity. In 2009, the native of Red Deer, Alta., established The Global Enrichment Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering leadership in Somalia through educational and community-based programs. Malizia lauded Lindhout, Brennan and their families for their courage and for providing witness statements that assisted the police investigation. “The RCMP fully understands that criminal investigations and the ensuing prosecutions are difficult. “Victims and witnesses must relive events that they should not have had to endure in the first place,� Malizia said. “I have personally been in touch with Miss Lindhout to provide her with these latest developments, and I continue to admire her resilient spirit after having gone through such an ordeal.� The Mounties noted the police force’s mandate extends beyond Canada’s borders, where the extra-territorial provisions of the Criminal Code come into effect. The RCMP acknowledged the help of the Canada Border Services Agency, Foreign Affairs and the Australian Federal Police.

Nationally, prices were up 0.9 per cent from the previous month, with the Calgary figures cutting the average by 0.3 percentage points.

The independent Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said as many as 20 Syrian soldiers and pro-government militia were killed in the lead-up to the capture, which included airstrikes by government forces.

The federal Fisheries department confirmed 38,479 harp seals were hunted along with 1,143 grey seals, mainly off the coasts of Newfoundland and Quebec. The federal government has long defended the commercial hunt as humane, sustainable, well-regulated and a vital source of income for coastal and Inuit communities. It has supported efforts to expand seal product sales domestically and overseas in markets such as China.

Secrecy shrouds death of man in immigration custody COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A cloak of secrecy shrouded the death of a man in the custody of Canada’s immigration authorities Friday, with details sketchy and his identity and nationality withheld. An activist group that works with detainees said the man died from a lack of medical care for his diabetic condition and said it would release his name after he’s buried in Toronto later on Friday. The group, End Immigration Detention Network, accused Canada Border Services Agency of a lack transparency and decried its use of prisons to hold people not charged with any crime. “CBSA is clearly unwilling to act on the death and misery caused by immigration detention,� the network’s Syed Hussan said in a statement. “It needs to end.� In a brief news release late Thursday, the border agency announced the man’s death in hospital in Peterborough, Ont. “The Canada Border Services Agency was notified by the Peterborough General Hospital that an adult male detainee, who was receiving care, passed away in hospital,� the statement said. The release, issued about 18 hours after the death, gave no further information about who he was, where he was from or any other circumstances of his detention or death. It did say his family had been notified.
A trickle of details emerged a few hours later when the province’s Special Investigations Unit, which probes reports of death, serious injury or sexual assault involving police, said it was investigating the death. The unit said the man was 39 years old and was being detained at the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, Ont. He had been admitted to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre for medical reasons under escort from local and provincial police officers, the SIU said. “At approximately 1 a.m. on Thursday, June 11, 2015, the man became agitated,� the SIU said. “At the request of medical staff, he was restrained by the officers and by health professionals. Shortly after, the man went vital signs absent and was subsequently pronounced dead.� On Friday, a spokeswoman for the border agency refused to elaborate beyond confirming the SIU investigation of the death and the fact the coroner’s office had been contacted. “We are not releasing any further information because the investigation is ongoing,� Antonella Digirolamo said. “That’s all I have for you.� The SIU was similarly tight-lipped Friday. However, spokeswoman Monica Hudon cited SIU policy of deferring to the family when it came to releasing the names of those who die in custody.

Clark blames politics for Yoga Day cancellation
Crown will not challenge outings for Schoenborn
Critics of a mass yoga session that would have shut down a Vancouver bridge are feeling a little more centred after British Columbia’s premier cancelled the controversial event. Christy Clark announced Friday that Om the Bridge will not take place on June 21. “Unfortunately, the focus of the proposed Burrard Street Bridge event has drifted towards politics, getting in the way of the spirit of community and inner reflection,” Clark said in a statement. “It was for that reason I decided not to participate.” Opposition NDP Leader John Horgan said that while Clark has said she didn’t want to mix yoga and politics, she did just that. Closing the bridge was expected to cost $150,000, the government said.
The Crown will not appeal a decision granting escorted community outings to a mentally ill British Columbia man who murdered his three children. The province’s Criminal Justice Branch opted not to legally challenge a decision by the B.C. Review Board granting Allan Schoenborn supervised day trips. The branch said Friday that three senior lawyers concluded there was no sufficient legal basis on which to proceed. The children’s family vocally opposed Schoenborn gaining any limited freedom from the psychiatric hospital where he’s been in custody since 2010. The board’s ruling gives the hospital director discretion to direct trained staff to escort Schoenborn on highly managed excursions into Coquitlam.

Left lane law now in effect for B.C. drivers
Evacuations as residents on alert over wildfire
New rules cracking down on drivers who monopolize the left lane on highways are now being enforced in British Columbia. Police can now ticket drivers who don’t use the left lane for either passing, allowing traffic to merge or preparing for a turn. Lawbreakers could be hit with a $167 fine and three driver penalty points. The rules apply to highways where the speed limit is more than 80 kilometres per hour. When traffic is congested and speeds drop to 50 kilometres an hour or less, the province is encouraging drivers to use the left lane to keep traffic moving. The new penalties were announced last year when the B.C. government announced speed limits would be raised on some highways.
A wildfire south of Lytton, has grown to 15 square kilometres, prompting crews to burn off potential fuel on the forest floor. The Lytton First Nation has ordered 10 properties to be evacuated, and residents in another 60 to 65 homes are on evacuation alert. Fire information officer Melissa Klassen of the B.C. Wildlife Management Branch says reports of a burning structure have yet to be confirmed. A small amount of rain fell in the area Friday morning, though Klassen says a significant amount of precipitation is needed to help crews fighting the blaze. Lower temperatures are expected, but a cold front could also bring high winds to the area.
Aquarium opposes ban on keeping whales in captivity LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Legislation to end the captivity of whales and dolphins would rob Canadians of vital research meant to defend such animals in the wild, says Vancouver Aquarium’s chief executive. John Nightingale said Liberal Sen. Wilfred Moore’s plan to introduce a bill to ban cetaceans in marine parks is misguided because aquariums are essential to understanding the creatures and protecting them from climate change and pollution. “I think the idea that animals ought to live free in nature is absolutely a natural human emotion, but we believe that is wrong,” Nightingale said Friday. “I am fond of saying I wish we lived in a world where we didn’t need places like Vancouver Aquarium, but nature isn’t free. Humans are having a bigger and bigger impact . . . and we need to do a better job of reducing our impact.” The aquarium is currently undergoing a $100-million expansion including larger whale and dolphin tanks. But it has faced shifting tides of public and political opinion since the release of “Blackfish,” a 2013 documentary about the marine park industry. Two Vancouver Aquarium-owned cetaceans have died this year — Hana, a dolphin who suffered a gastrointestinal disease last month, and Nanuq, a beluga who died of a broken jaw in February while on a long-term loan to Orlando SeaWorld. Nightingale said both deaths were natural and there is “no evidence” to suggest cetaceans in captivity are any less healthy

or active than those in the wild. Moore told a news conference Thursday that keeping animals that live in large pods in the wild cooped up for entertainment is unjustifiably cruel and disturbing. His bill would ban captive breeding, imports, exports and live captures of all whales, dolphins and porpoises in Canada, while allowing for the rescue of injured creatures. Jeffrey Ventre, a former SeaWorld trainer and “Blackfish” cast member, said all marine parks portray themselves as conservation entities contributing to science and education. “It’s mostly a facade,” he said. “There might be a small educational component but it’s not borne out in the peer-reviewed
literature. There’s no scientific basis for that claim. “SeaWorld alone is a multibillion-dollar corporation. It’s in the interests of these companies to perpetuate captivity.” Nanuq’s death means Vancouver’s aquarium now has two belugas, and six are on loan to various SeaWorld facilities in the United States. SeaWorld veterinarian Dr. Chris Dold said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press that the beluga died of an infection after a broken jaw caused by other whales. Nanuq, 31 or 32 at the time of his death, had been moved several times to different facilities and arrived at Orlando SeaWorld in May 2014 to live with a group of other belugas.

Petronas deal good sign for industry, say experts LAUREN KRUGEL THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A tentative green light for a multibillion-dollar liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia sets the stage for other players to follow suit, say energy industry experts. Pacific NorthWest LNG “breaks some ground” for its peers by being the first B.C. LNG player to officially decide to go ahead, said ARC Financial vice-president Jackie Forrest. “I view this as a good thing for the industry as a whole,” she said. “The first project is often the most difficult one. Just establishing that we can get a project up and run-
ning and what it costs and potentially build some of the infrastructure — that will help others.” Pacific NorthWest LNG, led by Malaysia’s Petronas, aims to invest some $36 billion to develop shale gas in northeastern British Columbia, ship it to the coast by pipeline, chill the gas into a liquid state and export it across the Pacific by tanker. The consortium said Thursday it has determined the business case for moving forward is sound. But its positive final investment decision hinges on an agreement with the B.C. government passing in the provincial legislature and Ottawa issuing an
environmental approval. “What we would hope for is that we could have construction commencing by the fourth quarter of 2015 and move the project forward from there,” said Pacific NorthWest president Michael Culbert. Construction would take around four or five years, meaning first cargoes of LNG would depart from the proposed terminal near Prince Rupert around 2019 or 2020. It’s not all smooth sailing, though. Last month, the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation rejected a natural gas benefit offer worth $1.15 billion, citing environmental threats to the salmon-rich Skeena River.

RACE
Spokane NAACP chapter leader said by parents to be Caucasian Family says woman has for years presented herself as black when she is white NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. — Rachel Dolezal leads the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, teaches African studies to college students and sits on a police oversight commission. But the 37-year-old artist and activist with dark curly hair and light-brown skin now finds herself at the centre of a furor over racial identity after family members said she has falsely portrayed herself as black for years when she is actually white. As proof, they produced pictures of her as a blonde, blueeyed child. The city is also investigating whether she lied about her ethnicity when she applied to be on the police board. And police on Friday said they were suspending investigations into racial harassment complaints filed by Dolezal, including one from earlier this year in which she said she received hate mail at her office. The NAACP issued a statement Friday supporting Dolezal, who has been a longtime figure in Spokane’s human-rights community. “One’s racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership,” the group said.

“In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational and economic justice for all people.” Dolezal did not return several telephone messages left Friday by The Associated Press. On Thursday, she avoided answering questions directly about her race and ethnicity in an interview with The Spokesman-Review newspaper. “That question is not as easy as it seems,” she said. “There’s
a lot of complexities . and I don’t know that everyone would understand that.” “We’re all from the African continent,” she added. Ruthanne Dolezal of Troy, Mont., told reporters this week that she has had no contact with her daughter in years. She said Rachel began to “disguise herself” after the family adopted four African-American children more than a decade ago. Rachel later married and divorced a black man and graduated
from historically black Howard University. An inquiry was opened at Spokane City Hall, where Dolezal identified herself in her application to the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission as having several ethnic origins, including white, black and American Indian. “We are gathering facts to determine if any city policies related to volunteer boards and commissions have been violated,” Mayor David Condon and Council President Ben Stuckart said this week in a joint statement. Dolezal was appointed to the oversight board by Condon. She has filed numerous reports of racial harassment since 2009 with authorities in Spokane and nearby Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where she worked for the Human Rights Education Institute. The region, which is overwhelmingly white, has a troubled history with race relations. Northern Idaho once served as a home base for the Aryan Nations. In a 2009 interview with the AP, Dolezal described herself as a multi-racial woman who found plenty of challenges in Coeur d’Alene. That included an incident in which three skinheads visited the office and asked for a tour, Dolezal said.

Khadr defence boosted by ruling in U.S. COLIN PERKEL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — An American court decision in the case of an alleged al-Qaida recruiter Friday has cast further doubt on the war crimes convictions of Canada’s Omar Khadr. In its split ruling, the appeals court set aside the military commission conviction of Ali Hamza al-Bahlul, a Guantanamo Bay detainee who did media relations for terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the conspiracy case against al-Bahlul was legally flawed because conspiracy is not a war crime — similar to arguments Khadr has made. The commission only had jurisdiction to try internationally recognized war crimes, the court said. Khadr’s Pentagon-appointed lawyer was not immediately available to comment, but one of his Canadian lawyers said the decision undermines Khadr’s conviction and his appeal should now be allowed. “By implication, (the ruling) pretty much seals the deal with respect to Omar’s appeal,” Nate Whitling said from Edmonton. “This case clearly confirms that all five of Khadr’s convictions are invalid and must inevitably be overturned.” Khadr, now 28, who returned to Canada in 2012 to serve out his eight-year sentence, was released on bail last month into the custody of Edmonton lawyer Dennis Edney pending the outcome of his American appeal.

Staffer accused of aiding Activists arrested in notorious prison escape Arctic drilling protest
Greece to present its U.K. may see downgrade creditors fresh proposals ahead of EU referendum
A worker at an upstate New York maximum-security prison has been arrested on charges she helped two convicted killers escape, state police said Friday. Fifty-one-year-old Joyce Mitchell was arrested and will be arraigned on charges of first-degree promoting prison contraband and fourth-degree criminal facilitation, state police said. Mitchell is accused of befriending inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora and giving them contraband. Mitchell has a $56,000-a-year job overseeing inmates who sew clothes and learn to repair sewing machines at the prison.
Greece said Friday it will present its creditors with new proposals over the weekend in an attempt to breathe life into stalled bailout discussions that have stoked fears of the country’s bankruptcy. Confirmation that talks would proceed over the weekend came after European markets had closed. Pressure on Greece to secure a deal is mounting. Greece’s $270 billion bailout expires June 30, at which point the country will lose access to the rescue loans it desperately needs to repay debts and avoid a default that could force it out of the euro.
Two activists spent about six hours Friday suspended from the anchor chain of a Royal Dutch Shell support ship docked north of Seattle to protest the petroleum giant’s plans to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean. The protesters sitting in cloth slings attached themselves around 3:30 a.m. to the anchor chain of the American Trader at the Bellingham harbour. A spokeswoman for the group said they were comfortable, in good spirits and excited to be there. The Coast Guard reported they helped Bellingham Police remove the protesters around 9:30 a.m. Friday, and then the police arrested them for trespassing.
Standard & Poor’s warned Friday that it may downgrade its credit rating on Britain sometime in the next two years following the government’s decision to hold a referendum on the country’s membership in the European Union. The referendum, which is due to take place before the end of 2017, “represents a risk to growth prospects for Britain’s financial services and export sectors, as well as the wider economy,” the agency said in a statement. The EU has been a source of contention in Britain for years with many blaming it for high levels of immigration, economic stagnation and low levels of pay.

Mariners look to top PCSL
Sam departs for personal reasons
De Graaf leads the league in scoring with five goals after seven games ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
After a busy soccer season from fall through to the spring, there’s still no respite for pacey attacker Jordan de Graaf — and that’s just the way he likes it. The Black Creek native has started the Pacific Coast Soccer League campaign in fine form for the Mid Isle Mariners and leads the team and men’s division in scoring with five goals. De Graaf has already attained his second national silver medal with the VIU Mariners this year to go alongside a George Smith Cup win for the Mid Isle Highlanders U21 team at the end of March. Now he says he’s looking to push on through the summer and help Chris Merriman’s team to the PCSL title. The current campaign has been a bit of a rebirth for the Mid Isle Mariners, as they haven’t registered a team in the PCSL for more than two years. “Back in 2012 we had a team that didn’t fair all that well. We started off okay but the commitment just wasn’t there,” said de Graaf. “This year everyone’s bought in, all the guys are at all the sessions and games on the weekend.” The Mariners currently sit third in the PCSL, three points behind early frontrunners Victoria Highlanders who have played three games more. So far, Merriman has utilized de Graaf as one of the widemen

in an attacking front three, played behind the main striker, as part of a 4-2-3-1 formation. It’s a role de Graaf says he’s enjoyed so far. “I’ve been able to get isolated and then I can use my speed to get in behind and beat players,” he said. “I like to mix it up and be dynamic. I’m feeling confident and the team has done a really good job of getting me the ball in dangerous areas so far.” De Graaf praised teammates Taylor Arbour, James Merriman and Chris Arnett in particular for the work they’ve done to provide him service of the ball. Seven games in now, with a 5-1-1 record, de Graaf says the team has only one aim in the weeks ahead. “Starting off, we didn’t really know what to expect and were looking to finish top four. But now, everyone’s feeling positive about finishing top.” The Mariners face the Vancouver Thunderbirds at 4 p.m. today at Merle Logan. Ross.Armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

MONTREAL — Michael Sam has left the Montreal Alouettes training camp for personal reasons. The Alouettes released a statement on Friday saying the rookie defensive end has been given special permission to return home to Texas after several media outlets noted his absence practice. “With all due respect for Michael Sam, the nature of this decision will remain confidential,” said the statement. “The Montreal Alouettes fully respect Michael Sam’s decision and rally around him to offer him all time and support needed. “The team has left the door open and Michael is welcome to come back whenever he feels ready.” The club added that they they will have no further comment on Sam at this time. Sam’s departure comes three weeks after he became the first openly gay player to sign in the CFL. The 25-year-old Sam was selected in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL draft by the St. Louis Rams, becoming the first openly gay player chosen by an NFL team. He was later cut by the Rams and from the Dallas Cowboys’ practice roster. He is part of a tiny group of professional athletes who have chosen to go public about their sexual orientation. Retired NBA player Jason Collins came out in April 2013 while Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star Robbie Rogers is the lone out player in Major League Soccer.

T-Men face Adanacs as Shires returns
Vasilevskiy embraces Stanley Cup Final spotlight
ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Corey Shires admits that prior to the winter draft, he envisioned the rest of Western Lacrosse Association career being in a Nanaimo Timbermen jersey. But back in February, the Coquitlam Adanacs nipped in ahead of his hometown team with the 13th overall pick to take the left-hander to the Lower Mainland. This Sunday, Shires returns to Nanaimo to play for the first time since last year when he led the Junior Timbermen in scoring. At the time of the draft, Shires said he was more disappointed in being drafted as low as he was and said he was excited about the prospect of joining the Adanacs. He said he’s excited about the opportunity about coming back to Frank Crane this Sunday. “I can’t wait,” he said. “Obviously it’s going to be different as I never expected this and thought I’d be a Timbermen my whole life. But that’s in the past now, there’s nothing I can do about it and I’m more than happy to be with the Adanacs now.” The humble Shires admits he looks back on his time as a Timbermen with pride but also says that he could’ve done better. “My dad always tells me to never be satisfied, but I think I served Nanaimo well.”

The settling in process has gone well and Shires says he puts that down to the welcoming atmosphere of his fellow teammates and club staff upon his arrival. “I’m definitely settling in well and everyone has made me feel very welcome. I couldn’t be at a better organization and the transition has been really easy.” Shires also says his mom has been gathering as many friends and family as possible to attend the game on Sunday. The Timbermen will hope to get back to winning ways after four straight losses against the New Westminster Salmonbellies twice, the Maple Ridge Burrards and most recently, the Burnaby Lakers this past Tuesday.

BRANDON, Fla. — More confident in his goaltending than his English, Andrei Vasilevskiy had one request of reporters Friday. “No cameras,” the young Russian said, wagging his finger to shoo away any stragglers. Vasilevskiy is in hockey’s brightest spotlight at the Stanley Cup final but isn’t comfortable with his broken words being videotaped. Depending on the health of Tampa Bay Lightning teammate Ben Bishop, he may again be the centre of attention for Game 5 against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. Bishop missed Game 4 on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury and didn’t practise Friday. His status is the biggest intrigue in the series with the Lightning and Blackhawks tied at two games apiece. Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper called it part of the plan for Bishop to take the day off. What comes next is anyone’s guess. “We’re going to play the guy that gives us the best chance to win the game, whoever that guy is,” Cooper said. “If Ben Bishop can play a game, he’s playing.” Vasilevskiy said after practice Friday he didn’t know yet if he was starting. The Blackhawks will play the waiting game with everyone else.
VASILEVSKIY
“Tough to forecast that,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. “We’ll see what happens. I know that we expected him to play last game.”’ Injuries often pile up this time of year. Lightning centre Tyler Johnson is battling something in his hand, arm or wrist — he hasn’t taken a faceoff since one in Game 2 — but insists he’s fine and has stayed in the lineup. Bishop left Game 2 on June 6, started Game 3 Monday and missed Game. Amid all the uncertainly, Vasilevskiy is not just calm but enjoying living out a childhood dream. “I’m here in North America just to play hockey,” Vasilevskiy said Friday. “The last two days I have more fun than all season.” Vasilevskiy stopped 17 of 19 shots in Game 4 and felt good about his first start which came

back on March 31. “I was ready for big pressure on me,” he said. The 20-year-old Vasilevskiy has been in pressure situations in the world junior championship and KHL playoffs. None of that quite prepared him for facing the likes of Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad, who scored on him in Game 4, or Blackhawks star Patrick Kane, who doesn’t yet have a goal in the series but could break out at any time. Vasilevskiy’s best preparation has come from his interactions with Bishop. Called up in January to replace the ineffective Evgeni Nabokov as the full-time backup, he leaned on Bishop to learn how to prepare like a professional. Asked if he had any goaltending heroes, Vasilevskiy smiled and joked: “No, nobody. I liked how Bish played.” His sense of humour and knowledge of English curse words came through even if he hesitated at times. “I still speak not really good for cameras,” Vasilevskiy said. “But for writers, yeah. For you, you can change words.” On the ice, Vasilevskiy is quieter than Bishop, defenceman Matt Carle said, and in the grand scheme of things, the major difference between him and Bishop is he can’t handle the puck quite as well.

NBA FINAL
WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
LeBron camera crash sparks more questions BRIAN MAHONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — LeBron James called it a “slight” headache, though nothing involving the game’s best player is ever minor. So when James got a cut on his head after falling into a TV camera during Game 4 of the NBA Finals, it led to questions about everything from how the NBA treats head injuries to whether someone taking pictures should be close enough to cause one. The league tried to deal with both issues long before Thursday night. Baseline photography and TV positions were already reduced last summer, and a concussion protocol was previously in place. But according to the league’s policy, a cut on the head alone is not a trigger for it. The protocol requires concussion evaluation when a player is suspected of having a concussion or exhibits signs or symptoms of one. Based on the player’s response, teams make the clinical judgment call whether to evaluate. James was bleeding but not showing concussion symptoms. He was thinking clearly, saying he was aware he needed to stay in the game to shoot his free throws after being fouled by Andrew Bogut, or he wouldn’t have been able to re-enter, according to league rules. “No, I didn’t have to go through any concussion protocol. I had a slight headache, which I think every last one of you guys would probably have if you ran into
a camera. You might have a little bit more than that,” James said during his postgame news conference. “But I didn’t go through any protocol. I’m fine. Like I said, I got a few stitches and I got a little slight headache right now, but I’ll be fine with that.” The Warriors dealt with the concussion questions in their last series. Both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson suffered head injuries in the Western Conference finals, with Thompson diagnosed with a concussion following their Game 5 victory over Houston and having to be cleared to play in the NBA Finals. Commissioner Adam Silver said last week during his finals news conference that he was confident in the league’s protocol and in the way it was followed with the Warriors. “Right now we talked to the other leagues. We’ve talked to medical advisers everywhere about the best way to approach this,” he said. “As I said, we think the best way we’re approaching it now is best in class in terms of medical and science information that’s available to us. But we’ll continue to look at it.” The league had already been looking at player safety behind the baselines over the previous five years. “I think he jumped into the cameraman,” Bogut said. “I think he came down and took two steps and then fell on the cameraman.”

Canada with work to do ahead of the Netherlands NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Canada headed east Friday, celebrating captain Christine Sinclair’s 32nd birthday along the way. The Canadians (1-0-1) wrap up pool play at the Women’s World Cup on Monday in Montreal against the Netherlands (1-1-0), knowing victory at Olympic Stadium will leave them atop Group A with a more benign road in the knockout rounds. But, after a 1-0 win over China and 0-0 draw with New Zealand, they leave behind warning signs in Edmonton in the form of a misfiring offence and an at-times wobbly defence. Progress to the second round is not a concern at an expanded tournament where 16 teams advance. But the road that awaits them in the knockout stages is. A win over the 12th-ranked Dutch means less travel and avoiding other group winners until deeper in the tournament. The scenarios get more complex and difficult with a second- or third-place finish. The New Zealand draw, coupled with China’s 1-0 win over the Netherlands, tightened up Group A. Canada leads with four points, the Chinese and the Dutch both have three and New Zealand is on one. Coach John Herdman had
hoped to rotate his eighth-ranked squad in Montreal, saving some of his bullets for later. That’s not going to happen now. “We’re still in the driving seat to finish top of the group, and that’s our goal,” he said after the New Zealand match. “It just means going into the Netherlands, we’ve still got to stay in fifth gear. It would have been nice if we could have dropped down to fourth (gear) in that game. But Canada seems to do it the hard way, that’s how we roll. “So we’re rolling into this game with a mindset of finish top of the group. A point might do that for us, three points will guarantee it.” Added Sinclair: “Top of the group after two games. We can’t have too many complaints.” After opening with a 1-0 win over New Zealand, the debutante Dutch looked poor against China. Overrun in midfield, they were going backwards most of the game. But they have quality and pace up front and were dangerous on the counter-attack. That will be a concern given some defensive frailties shown by Canada. Herdman acknowledged he almost pulled off centre back Lauren Sesselmann after an erratic period in the China game. He did substitute Sesselmann, who is coming back from knee surgery, in the 68th minute
against New Zealand but said after the game it was a planned move. Fellow centre back Kadeisha Buchanan, a star in the making, had far more good moments than bad but had one costly giveaway Thursday that led to a scoring chance. Fullback Allysha Chapman conceded a penalty, although the crossbar saved her blushes. At the other end, Canada’s inability to finish continues to worry. Herdman himself estimated his team had six “giltedged” chances against New Zealand, which got a player-of-thematch performance from ’keeper Erin Nayler. “I’m not going to protect the team but the stats don’t lie,” Herdman said after reciting a list of statistics that read in Canada’s favour. “That was decent performance from Canada. Don’t underestimate the opposition in our group.” If expectations were raised going into the New Zealand game, Herdman need only to look into the mirror to see who’s to blame. He said Canada was the better team before dissecting the New Zealand attack in almost cocky fashion. Canada talked the talk but failed to walk the walk against the 17th-ranked Kiwis.

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 matresses to fit the individual needs of his customers. He said he donated all 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 wide selection on of bedroom furniture, with most of it made locally in B.C.

Martin snaps tie as Jays win in Boston HOWARD ULMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Russell Martin broke a tie with a three-run triple in a nine-run seventh inning as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 13-10 by overcoming an 8-1 deficit Friday night. The Blue Jays won their ninth straight game and scored at least six runs for the eighth time in that stretch. The Red Sox suffered their fourth consecutive loss, one of the most disheartening in a season in which they are a season-worst eight games under .500 (27-35) and in last place in the AL East. Brett Cecil gave up an RBI double in the ninth to Rusney Castillo but got his third save. Steve Delabar (2-0) pitched a perfect sixth. Junichi Tazawa (0-2) took the loss. Boston took a 5-0 lead in the first against Drew Hutchison when Pablo Sandoval and Mookie Betts hit back-to-back homers. Justin Smoak’s RBI-triple made it 5-1 in the second before Dustin Pedroia’s three-run homer made it 8-1 in the fifth. Toronto scored three runs in the fifth off Joe Kelly, who left after the sixth with an 8-4 lead. Then came the seventh when Toronto’s first nine batters reached base — three against Matt Barnes, five against Tazawa and one against Tommy Layne — with all of them scoring. Kevin Pillar led off with a single and scored on a double by Ryan Goins. Jose Reyes then singled in a run, Josh Donaldson singled and Jose Bautista followed with another RBI single. Edwin Encarnacion then singled, loading the bases, and Toronto tied it at 8 on an error by third baseman Sandoval, who dived to catch Chris Colabello’s hard shot down the line then dropped the ball. Martin cleared the bases with his triple over the head of centre fielder Castillo, chasing Tazawa. But Smoak drove the first pitch from Layne into the seats in left for his fifth homer and a 13-8 lead. Layne then settled down, retiring the next three batters.

CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT
eclarer won dummy’s ace and drew trump with the ace and king of spades. The ace of diamonds took care of dummy’s club loser and South continued with the king of hearts and ran the ten. East scored the queen but the slam was home, N-S +1430. North might have opted to bid five diamonds as Exclusion Blackwood asking for controls with spades agreed but telling partner not to count the ace of diamonds. South will reveal the top spades without the queen by replying 5NT. There is no room left to discover if South owns the honors required for a grand slam and North will be compelled to settle for a small slam. North’s leap to slam would not have been a critical success if the ace and king of spades were missing and a defender held both honors. However, it is to be admitted that the ace and king would not often be missing but South would need a 1-1 division to earn the slam bonus. North’s sequence concealed the diamond void although the defense could conclude that North held a void somewhere since he declined to ask for controls. If opener had denied a four- card major, North would rebid four hearts as a Texas Transfer. He would continue with a club cue bid in search of slam when partner advanced to four spades.

David Millen
November 1, 1925 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 6, 2015 Dave passed away peacefully at Selkirk Place in Victoria on Saturday, June 6, at the age of 89. A resident of Victoria since 2009, Dave was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, where he lived until 1946. He then spent two years in Burma serving with the Durham Light Infantry during that countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transition to independence. Upon his return to England he met his future wife Betty, to whom he was married for 65 years. The young couple and their son Alan immigrated to Canada in 1957, spending their first year in Edmonton, followed by five years in Fort St. John, where daughters Margaret and Heather were born. During this period Dave worked for Pacific Petroleum as a maintenance expert at the plant in nearby Taylor. In 1963, the family moved to Nanaimo, which would be Dave and Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for the next 46 years. Dave spent 24 years working as a millwright for B. C. Forest Products at the pulp and paper mill in Crofton, which he often described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best job in the worldâ&#x20AC;?, before retiring in 1990. Throughout his life Dave was passionate about soccer, which he played from boyhood into his 40s. During the 1960s and 70s he coached youth and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer in Nanaimo. True to his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geordieâ&#x20AC;? roots, he was a loyal supporter of Newcastle United for eight decades. Blessed with a fine voice, Dave was an accomplished entertainer, performing on many occasions at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 in Nanaimo and various seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes in the Nanaimo area. He particularly enjoyed his years as a member of the Tidesmen, a Nanaimo menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir. Having grown up during the big-band era, Dave and Betty were elegant ballroom dancers renowned for their fancy footwork on the dance floor. Well into his later years Dave enjoyed lawn bowling, bridge, cribbage and dominoes. A keen curler for many years, he rarely missed a televised tournament of his favourite winter sport. Despite declining health, he retained his sense of humour and cheerful spirit to the very end. Predeceased by Betty in January of this year, Dave is survived by son Alan (Yvonne), daughters Margaret (Craig) and Heather, grandchildren Domenic, Denise, Jennifer and Shannon and their respective partners, and great-granddaughter Audrey, along with various relatives in Canada and the UK. Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family wishes to thank the staff at Selkirk Place for the care provided in his final years. Very special thanks go to Deb Vermaning, an extraordinary care-giver and companion to both Dave and Betty during their time at Selkirk. A celebration of Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place at a date to be determined. Condolences may be offered to the family below. www.mccallbros.com

SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 2015 | DAILY NEWS |
HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19) You easily could overindulge when you’re with a loved one. Make a point of worrying less and playing more. However, don’t be surprised if your self-discipline comes through and puts a graceful halt to what you are doing. Tonight: Let someone else treat for a change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your magnetic energy draws many people toward you as you open up to new possibilities. Your popularity soars, yet your happiness will come from a family member when you are at home. Tonight: Don’t make anything more complicated than it needs to be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to cocoon, which won’t be surprising considering how much energy you put into helping others. Your smile makes you a sure-bet winner no matter what you do. Allow yourself to be missed by others, and indulge only you right now. Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Friends seek you out. You can’t seem to say “no” to people, nor should you. Whether you’re at a baseball game or enjoying the surf, you won’t want to be alone. Catch up on news and gossip when hanging out with loved ones. Tonight: The party goes on and on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might need to throw yourself into a project or accept more responsibilities. Others appreciate your leadership skills, as you tend to smooth the path.
Your ability to adapt to plans and deal with unexpected changes remains your strong suit. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a loved one directly. As much as you might want to be empathetic, you’ll need to detach in order to be helpful. A new friend could become very controlling. Understand that you don’t need to play into this situation. Tonight: Be entertained. Take in a movie. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to put off having an important conversation, yet you won’t be able to avoid the other party. Why not just talk? You will feel much better afterward. One-on-one relating proves to be the path to understanding. Tonight: Make it a special dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Let others run the show, so you can go off and have a good time. Stop the hectic pace and choose to do an activity that you enjoy. A love interest might want your attention. Watch what this person will go through just to catch your eye. Tonight: Let the fun begin. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep a relaxing and easy pace. You might wonder what would be best to do with a difficult and changeable money situation. Detachment allows you to see many more options. Make a call to a friend at a distance. Be ready to celebrate. Tonight: Make sure the party is not at your house. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Once you relax, others will find you to be extremely loveable, which is not your typical style. Know that a close friend or loved one always sees you like that.
One-on-one relating is likely to draw positive results. Tonight: You are luckier than usual. Go to the casino! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll find someone to be so alluring that you simply can’t say “no” to him or her. Your ability to get past a problem will be enhanced by this person’s knowledge. A family member might want some attention. Bone up on your juggling skills. Tonight: Make it special. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Say what is on your mind, and don’t feel intimidated by someone else. As a result, you will find that your words are well-received. Relax with a dear friend. You will be a lot happier if you do not push or try to impress someone. Do not break out of your routine. Tonight: Hang out. YOUR BIRTHDAY (June 13) This year you maintain a low profile. Many people will miss you, but they also might not understand your lack of presence. You simply enjoy periods of time alone more often than before, and you easily could have a project or a special matter that you are dealing with. If you are single, remain skeptical when meeting potential suitors. Someone might not be emotionally available, but will project otherwise at first. If you are attached, spend more one-on-one time with your significant other. What happens as a result will surprise you. TAURUS can hold you back or slow you down. BORN TODAY Actor Tim Allen (1953), actress Kat Dennings (1986), journalist Hannah Storm (1962)
Depay completes Manchester United move THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANCHESTER, England — Netherlands winger Memphis Depay has completed his move to Manchester United after signing a four-year deal, with the option to extend it by a further 12 months. United didn’t disclose the transfer fee.
British media are reporting Depay, who moves from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, will cost the 20-time English champions $48 million. The deal has gone through now that Europe’s summer transfer window has opened, after the clubs reached a deal last month and Depay agreed to personal terms.
United manager Louis van Gaal has previously coached the speedy Depay during his time in charge of the Netherlands national team. “It will take time for Memphis to get used to the rhythm of the Premier League but I have no doubt that he has the potential to become a great footballer for this club,” said van Gaal.
Bride displayed little consideration Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: A good friend of mine was recently married, and I was her maid of honor and happy to do it. The bride had only one other woman in her bridal party, a high school classmate who now lives halfway across the country. That meant all of the bridal party duties became my responsibility. I thoughtfully planned, budgeted for and hosted both the bridal shower and the bachelorette party. I slaved over my wedding reception speech and mustered up my courage to deliver it. I wanted everything to be memorable and joyous, and I especially wanted the bride to know that this was her time to shine. So you can imagine my dismay when the bride and groom neglected to mention any member of the bridal party when thanking special people in their speech. The bride admitted that they wrote their speech on a whim, and although she later acknowledged that she had forgotten to thank her bridesmaids, I am still resentful weeks later for her lack of appreciation for my efforts. The groom was thoughtful enough to take to social media in the days following the wedding to thank his groomsmen “for everything.” I imagine if the bride had followed in her new husband’s footsteps, I’d have been so grateful. Am I wrong to feel this way? — Maid of Dishonour Maid: There is no “right” or “wrong” way to feel. The bride displayed a lack of consideration by not preparing enough of a
speech to be sure the appropriate people were thanked. More importantly, she should have been apologetic enough to make up for it afterward. Those, like you, who put a great deal of time and energy (not to mention money) into someone else’s big event deserve to be acknowledged and thanked. It sucks the joy out of the party when you feel your efforts were not noticed or appreciated, and it makes the bride seem self-absorbed and ungrateful. It may be her “big day,” but other people helped to make it possible, and there is no excuse for treating them poorly. We hope she figures it out before she has no friends left.
Dear Annie: Can you handle another pet peeve? Mine is people who blow their noses into a napkin at a restaurant. Don’t they realize that a server must then pick up that used napkin with their bare hands? They then serve my plate after having touched your used napkin. It is extremely unsanitary and unappealing. I recently witnessed a friend do this with a cloth napkin in a more upscale restaurant. I don’t even want to go out to eat with these people anymore. — Kay from Pennsylvania Dear Kay: People who need to wipe their noses at dinner should know enough to carry a handkerchief or bring a small container of tissues, which are easy enough to find in any drugstore or grocery and will fit inside the tiniest purse or back pocket. You might bring an extra one and offer it to the next person who grabs a napkin for this purpose. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creators.com, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Amy Duthie, Senior Director of Product Development of Jay Flight Travel Trailers, has worked closely with the Jay Flight family. “It’s exciting to see how Jay Flight has transformed over the years and to be a part of it.” Duthie said. “We have strived to remain true to the original goal of bringing the best in livability, features and value to the retail owner.” Duthie continued, “Derald Bontrager, president and CEO, has always said ‘We build campers one at a time for one family at a time.’ This is what we have always done, and will continue to do every day.
