Hotel project comes back to life Decision gives the developer, SSS Manhao, another six months from now to obtain a building permit SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo council has agreed to a six-month extension on the city’s right to buy back the parcel of land where the proposed hotel project would be built. The decision gives the developer, SSS Manhao, another six months from now to obtain a building permit for the project and to start construction before the city can act on a option to purchase agreement to buy back the land at the original price of
$565,000 the developer paid the city to acquire the lot, at 100 Gordon St., next to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. The motion, which passed unanimously, will also see the developer pay $100,000 for improvements to Piper Park. The developer will also give up its right of first negotiation to operate the VICC. The vote came after council voted 5-4 the previous week to reject a one-year extension sought by the developer.
Councillors Jerry Hong, Bill Yoachim, Gord Fuller, Jim Kipp and Bill Bestwick had voted to defeat the extension, during a sometimes-heated council meeting that saw some council members confront SSS Manhao’s lawyer Perry Ehrlich on delays and a lack of communication on progress with the project. Ehrlich said SSS Manhao had spent more than $4 million in preparation for construction. Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Diane Brennan, Ian Thorpe
and Wendy Pratt were in support of the motion. Hong then proposed a motion for a report on a six-month extension instead, as well as other concessions. Fuller supported the extension this time, adding he had wanted the right of first negotiation for the conference centre removed. Bestwick said Hong’s motion “cleans up the process” and said he looked forward to the hotel’s completion. Kipp said council “played a bit of hardball” with the developer but said he sup-
ports the shorter extension. Yoachim also supported the extension for the project: “What I just hope for is the communication improves . . .” Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

Till death do us part: Support allows woman with cancer to renew vows DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
A
donated wedding dress sparked an outpouring of generosity that helped a couple with what may be a final celebration of their marriage. On Saturday, June and Lloyd Nogier renewed their wedding vows at their Spencer Street home. June has terminal cancer of the pancreas. She found out she has up to 18 months left just before Christmas. The couple, who share a June 19 birthday, were wed on that same day in 1976. When her daughter Lisa Nogier Dovey offered her a Great Gatsby party for their birthday, June said she’d prefer a repeat of their 25th anniversary, when she and Lloyd renewed their wedding vows — because of the doubts around the possibility of a 40th anniversary. But she needed a dress and finding something affordable on their small pensions posed a challenge. She started calling around town and Chris Pozar at Ladybelle Bridal invited her to have a look at what he and his wife Marcy have at their store. She agreed to drive over, Pozar said. “My wife and I talked about it and said: ‘Why don’t we have her pay a little bit of money, and the money we’ll donate to (Nanaimo) Hospice?’” Nogier found a dress she loved, but the price was $760. They suggested she pick a price she could afford. She paid $60. “We really empathized with her story,” said Pozar, adding publicity was the last thing he and his wife wanted from it — it was to help someone in need.

But the next day, Nogier Dovey posted details of the couple’s generous act on a Nanaimo wedding swap and shop Facebook page. That triggered an outpouring of support on the member-only group. More than 130 posts went up. “It just took off,” said Nogier. “Everybody wanted to do something to help. It was unbelievable.” Businesses and individuals offered food for the event, makeup, fingernail art, massages, dance lessons, even a tuxedo for Lloyd’s special day.

On Saturday, about 30 people turned out to see June and Lloyd renew their wedding vows in the Nogier’s back yard, at an anniversary that will possibly be their last. “It was very emotional for everyone,” said Adrianna Furlan, who volunteered to co-ordinate the event. “They had been married 39 years and they repeated their vows, and will be together until death do they part.” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Arts groups face grants changes Shift will see culture and heritage commission assess applications on merit and public impact basis SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo will move to a “performance-based” system for evaluating culture and heritage grant applications. City council voted unanimously on Monday to adopt the new rules that will see the culture and heritage commission assess all applications from groups seeking operational or event funding on a merit and public impact basis. This changes from the current
criteria, which says groups seeking three years of operational funding need to have existed for at least four years. Some groups in the city, including the Vancouver Island Symphony, had expressed concern the city would consider capping funding organizations seeking grants. The commission had recommended against funding caps. Council did not head toward capping funds Monday, although several referenced the city’s impending core review and
recommendations that review might have for funding. Coun. Ian Thorpe said the decision was not about funding. “Funding is in place, it’s how we distribute it that we need to deal with,” he said. The city doles out approximately $262,000 in cultural grant funding each year. The recommendations endorsed by council Monday night also put an appeal process in place for groups unhappy with the amount they receive.
“I think it’s a very important part of the process moving forward,” said Coun. Wendy Pratt. “Sometimes it’s just very helpful to know where you went wrong on your application and what you need to do better.” Dave Witty, a member of Inspire Nanaimo, called the “performance-based” standards a good tool to evaluate where those dollars are best-spent. He said investment in local arts and culture is a competitive advantage for cities.
“This is about getting value for your investments,” he said. Per capita funding for arts and culture is slated to increase to $3 in 2017, from $2.70 now.

Fill-in Newcastle ferry service as talks go on ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The Protection Island ferry service is now temporarily providing ferry service between Newcastle Island and Maffeo-Sutton Park in downtown Nanaimo. The Victoria-based Nanaimo Harbour Ferry Tours and Charters, which has been operating the seasonal ferry service between the provincial marine park and Maffeo-Sutton Park for almost a decade, pulled their service on June 19. According to the company’s website, Nanaimo Harbour Ferry Tours and Charters was “unable to come to an agreement” to renew its contract with the Snuneymuxw First Nation. The SFN co-manages the 336-hectare island park located in the Nanaimo harbour along with the province and the City of Nanaimo, and is responsible for contracting out the ferry service. As a result of the apparent impasse in contract talks, the company halted service as of 9 p.m. Friday. Company officials declined comment Monday and directed questions to the SFN. SFN spokesman Chris Good said negotiations are ongoing with the company and he couldn’t comment on the talks at this time. But he said he expected the negotiations will be completed, one way of another, within the next two days. “The Protection Island ferry service will continue the service until at least Tuesday as we continue to talk with our regular service provider,” Good said. Cory Crane, general manager of the Protection Island ferry service, said his ferries began operating on the run between

Newcastle Island and downtown on Saturday. He said the company would consider taking over the service permanently if it is asked. “But it’s way too early at this stage to even speculate on that,” said Crane, who also operates Protection Island’s Dinghy Dock Pub.
“We’ll see what comes out of this over the next couple of days. But right now, all we’re trying to do is ensure the ferry service is maintained to the island. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind for us over the last few days” Ian Howat, the City of Nanaimo’s general manager of corporate services, said the ferry
service is “important to the city” and to the island’s status as a tourist destination, particularly for the busy summer season. But he said as long as the ferry service continues to be provided, the city has few concerns around which company is providing it. “Fortunately, we have two ferry services operating in our
harbour and both have decades of experience behind them so, at the end of the day, we’d be happy with which ever of the two companies the SFN decides to sign a contract with.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Wolf seen in encounter may have lost fear of humans
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Confronting a large wolf was a scary experience for Clayton Neuwirth. Neuwirth, who lives in the Parksville/French Creek area, said he heard his dog barking and then whimpering in the bushes near his house on Saturday night and went outside to investigate. He said his dog, which weighs approximately 27 kilograms and is about the size of a Labrador retriever, ran out of the bushes with a wolf that looked to be twice its size chasing her.
“I started to yell and clap my hands hard to try and scare the wolf off, but it wouldn’t retreat at all,” Neuwirth said. “In fact, the wolf laid down (approximately 30 metres away) and just watched us for about five minutes before heading back into the woods. It made me pretty nervous that the wolf wasn’t scared of people.” Neuwirth said his dog suffered some cuts and scratches in the attack, but was in relatively good shape afterwards. “I talked to one of my neighbours over the weekend and he told me that his dog was also
attacked by a wolf about two months ago, and the wolf didn’t run at all when the neighbour tried to scare it away,” he said. “We’re assuming it’s the same wolf.” Conservation officer Troy Sterling acknowledged the wolf Neuwirth encountered is likely the same one that is responsible for a number of other attacks on dogs in the area over the past two months. He said the fact that the wolf appears to have lost its natural fear of humans means that it will probably have to put down when, and if, it’s located, and
not tranquilized and moved to another area. “It’s definitely a concern for us and we would treat it as we would with cougars and bears in the area that have also lost their fear of humans,” Sterling said. “People who encounter the wolf, even if its just a sighting, should report to us exactly where the sighting was and at what time of day.” Wolf sightings can be reported by calling 1-877-952-7277.

Military has to take sexual abuse seriously
A
fter reading Gen. Tom Lawson’s comments on sexual abuse in the military, a generous observer might say something like: “What we have here is failure to communicate.” The problem, however, wasn’t his “awkward” remarks about how some men are “biologically wired” to sexually harass women. The fact is the advance of western civilization has struggled and still struggles to control male behaviour with regard to women. The problem wasn’t what Gen. Lawson said. It’s what he did not say. Even when he had the opportunity to correct himself, the general merely said biology is no excuse for male-dominated groups to act like wild dogs around women. No kidding.
The Canadian Armed Forces has had policies against sexual harassment since 1988, the same year a ruling by a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal forced the military to “fully integrate women into regular and reserve Forces (with the exception of submarines, which came later); remove all employment restrictions and implement new occupational personnel-selection standards; and devise a plan to steadily, regularly and consistently achieve complete integration within 10 years.” It’s been a rocky road since, and the military has updated its policies on harassment several times without much success in rewiring male biology, to use the general’s terminology. In fact, it seems as the number of women in the Forces has risen (to roughly 15 per cent), the incidence
of harassment has gone up in lockstep. A road map to meaningful change was offered earlier this year in a report by former Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps, who described the military as a cesspool of primitive macho culture, where women and members of the LGBTQ community are subjected to abuse, demeaning comments and sexual assault. Ms. Deschamps said conditions had not improved since the last internal examination of the problem 20 years ago. That study was preceded by “no less than five studies . . . on harassment.” In response, Gen. Lawson refused to commit to implementing her report, including a critical recommendation for independent investigations of complaints.
Women said they did not trust the military process, and many victims were afraid to come forward with complaints. A special unit has since been appointed to implement the recommendations, but the commander of the investigative team has said it could take months or years to get it done. Gen. Lawson missed an opportunity to promise tough new measures against sexual harassment and to apologize on behalf of the military for taking so damn long to get serious. If he needed inspiration, he could have looked up the words of Australian army chief Lt.Gen. David Morrison. “I will be ruthless in ridding the Australian army of people who cannot live up to its values, and I need every one of you to support me in achieving this,” he said.
“If that does not suit you, then get out . . . There is no place for you among this band of brothers and sisters.” Now, there’s a man whose biological handicaps aren’t interfering with his judgment. The Canadian Armed Forces, unfortunately, has had trouble getting its wiring straight. Gen. Lawson retires this summer, replaced by Lt.-Gen. Jonathan Vance, who distinguished himself in Afghanistan as a leader who didn’t accept excuses. Let’s hope that extends to getting real about sexual abuse in the military.

Taxpayers still paying for conference centre costs Re: ‘Council needs to be run fairly and effectively’ (Your Letters, Daily News, June 18) That former mayor Gary Korpan is “shocked and appalled” by council’s behaviour in discussing a proponent’s proposed doubling of the time allowed to proceed with the latest conference centre hotel project is, in itself, shocking and appalling. Once bitten, twice shy. Need we be reminded of the ongoing money pit presented by our present conference centre. Mr. Korpan, aided by Coun. Brennan and her then-fellow councillors (minus Loyd Sherry), led us into a quagmire costing millions a year and rising. A referendum was held on the project on Nov. 20, 2004, which barely passed. It assured voters that the conference centre/Mariott Hotel project would be completed at a cost of no more than $49.5 million (plus $3 million from the province) coming from city taxpayers. We can all remember that before the agreement finally fell apart, the front end cost to Nanaimo taxpayer ballooned by 40 per cent to $72.5 million (to the best of my knowledge no forensic accounting of this project has ever been done) and the promised hotel which was to be developed simultaneously disappeared without a by your leave (or the return of funds
advanced by taxpayers). Both of the conditions required by the referendum thus vanished into the bowels of city hall . . . but the ongoing costs did not. It is best to remember the old saying that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Nanaimo taxpayers are continuing to pay high costs for bad decisions and poor contracts in the matter of this conference centre. It is no wonder that talk of projects which fall into the shadow of such history lead to heated discussion. Would that there had been much more such discussion back in 2004. Ron Bolin Nanaimo
Put taxpayer cash for the NEDC to better use Re: ‘NEDC had a $162K deficit in 2014’ (Daily News, April 17) “Things are good and getting better,” said outgoing Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation chairman A.J. Hustins a couple of months ago. If only I magically had $1.5 million in taxpayer bucks every year I uttered that self-promoting malarkey, like the NEDC does, I’d be whistling Dixie, too. And the arms-length city corporation doesn’t have to worry about spending too much and going into
a deficit; it simply digs into the slush-fund stashed aside a year earlier and calls it transferring a surplus forward. Stop the mumbo jumbo, common folk are smarter than that. If you’ve got money left over taxpayers are obviously handing over way too much; we’ll simply cut the handout. Councillors Brennan and Pratt fiercely upheld the NEDC’s rights to do whatever it does during a recent council meeting. Some are in need of a better memory. Where is the much-touted fast ferry? All those new hotels? All those conference comers? All the money pouring in from those meagre three cruise ship visits per year? The bragging now that Kenmore Air has cut its Cassidy-to-Seattle flights? One of our city’s brightest entrepreneurs, Morgan Carey, who set up Real Estate Webmasters in the old Free Press building with 100-plus employees has said he is “done developing” in this city stating he’s had frustrations with Tourism Nanaimo, managed under the NEDC umbrella. So stop the insanity. Stop the bafflegab. Council, save our money. It’s time to shut ‘er down and really put our money to good use; back in taxpayer’s pockets where we can buy more and truly bolster the local economy. K.T. Shaw Nanaimo
Papal claims on climate seem to be disingenuous Re: ‘Pope gets back to nature on climate change (Editorial, Daily News, June 22) I found the Pope’s pronouncements on climate change somewhat disingenuous and think his time would be better spent on cleaning up the church and “reconciling” the abominations committed by so many of his priests. Canada’s residential schools come to mind. Climate change controversy is often more political than scientific. What happened to the separation of church and state? Anthropogenic climate change is more about the politics of anti-capitalism and wealth transfer than it is about science, especially among the left-wing and at the United Nations. The Pope has joined the ranks of Naomi Klein, Al Gore and David Suzuki in the army of scaremongers.

Cenotaph ownership is transferred to district ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Lantzville council voted unanimously on Monday night to assume ownership of the Huddlestone Park cenotaph. Council’s quorum of three passed a motion for Mayor Colin Haime to sign the agreement and officially transfer the ownership over from the Royal Canadian Legion Seaview Centennial Branch No. 257. Legion president Roy Cardinal
was on hand to co-sign the agreement with Haime. It was confirmed that although the cenotaph is now District if Lantzville’s property, the Legion will continue to pay for and perform maintenance of it as required. Haime said a ceremonial transfer event will take place later in the year. The cenotaph committee, led by chairman Jim McEwan, first launched a campaign to raise
funds for the new cenotaph in the summer of 2013. Official registration to recognize it as an official Canadian cenotaph was confirmed a year later. A dedication ceremony was held at the park last June. “It turned out better than I thought,” said Haime. “It really acts as a centrepiece for the whole village. A job well done, to the whole legion.” He said committee members
did a “fantastic job fundraising and providing a legacy for the community.” Coun. Denise Haime sat on the cenotaph committee throughout the whole process. “Everyone has done an excellent job,” she said. “It’s been a year-and-a-half to two-year process which has received overwhelming community support. All I have really heard and have been given is positive comments from the community.”

After five years of work and preparation, the new grey whale exhibit is ready for display at Vancouver Island University’s Deep Bay Marine Field Station in Bowser. The exhibit will be unveiled at a ceremony at the field station on June 23. The young but malnourished 10-metre long, 20-plus tonne grey whale washed up on the shore of East Sooke Park in a windstorm in 2010. Concerned at the time that the dead whale was being treated with disrespect, the Scia’new First Nation worked with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and VIU to bury the whale on their land with the hope that it could be used in the future for an educational purpose. Researchers from VIU were made aware of the whale and decided to use the bones to create a world-class grey whale skeleton exhibit at the newly constructed $8.6-million field station. In 2014, after four years of decomposition while buried in the sand to allow the meat and blubber to rot off the skeleton, it was determined that the whale was ready to be recovered and prepared for display. Over the next year, the bones were cleaned and carefully articulated at the field station by a team of community volunteers, staff and consultants in preparation for the permanent educational display. In a unique “Raise a Whale” online campaign, VIU sold approximately 160 of the bones that make up the whale skeleton to raise more than $70,000 needed to cover the costs of the project. Lead donors include the Underwater Harvesters Association, which made a $10,000 donation for the naming rights, as well as Jamie’s Whaling Station and Adventure Centres from Tofino/ Ucluelet, which purchased all 23 bones that make up the whale’s tail.

Mountie gets jail term for perjury Const. Kwesi Millington colluded with fellow officers at the inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski “It’s some justice, finally, after almost eight years. I’m now shaking, but I start crying because I was waiting eight years (for) this sentence.”
GEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia Mountie convicted of lying to a public inquiry into the death of a Polish immigrant has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison. RCMP Const. Kwesi Millington was found guilty of perjury earlier this year after a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled he colluded with his fellow officers to fabricate testimony given at the inquiry looking into the death of Robert Dziekanski. Millington jolted Dziekanski several times with a Taser after he and three other officers approached him at Vancouver’s airport in October 2007. Dziekanski died on the floor of the airport. The four officers were charged with perjury after their testimony to the inquiry and tried separately, resulting in two acquittals and two convictions. Within hours of the sentencing on Monday, Millington’s lawyer filed an appeal of the conviction. Justice William Ehrcke said in his sentencing decision that perjury is a very serious offence that undermines the administration

of justice, and Millington’s lies hampered the public inquiry. “That false explanation stood in the way of getting to a true explanation,” Ehrcke told the court. Dziekanski’s mother, Zofia Cisowski, wept openly in the packed gallery after the sentence was read.
Outside the court, she said that she’s pleased that Millington is headed to prison. “It’s some justice, finally, after almost eight years,” Cisowski said. “I’m now shaking, but I start crying because I was waiting eight years (for) this sentence.” Dziekanski spoke no English

Furlong claims he was told abuse allegation would go away for $5K TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — For a payment of $5,000, John Furlong testified he was told that allegations he physically abused a former student decades earlier could be made to “go away.” Furlong told a civil court trial that the alleged bribery attempt came just months before the 2010 Winter Olympics, as the former Vancouver Games boss was preparing for the international sporting event. “That stunned me. It was a shocking moment. I sat at my desk and I wondered, is this about embarrassing me or embarrassing the Olympics?” Furlong told B.C. Supreme Court on Monday. Furlong was testifying in his defence against a lawsuit by freelance journalist Laura Robinson. She is seeking damages for defamation over comments Furlong made after she wrote two articles carrying allegations about him. The stories made allegations of abuse related to Furlong’s work decades before as a physical education teacher at a Roman Catholic school mostly attended by First Nations students in British Columbia’s Interior. Some of the defamation claims arise from comments by Furlong made at a news conference in September 2012, and included his reference to the alleged bribery.
and had been waiting at Vancouver International Airport for 10 hours. Police were called when he began throwing furniture in the international arrivals’ area. A bystander’s video showed that within seconds of arriving the officers surrounded the man and then shocked him with the Taser. The officers all told the public inquiry that Dziekanski picked up a stapler and posed a threat. They were charged two years after their testimony. Millington was found guilty in February. Millington’s lawyer had asked for a one year conditional sentence, while the Crown sought three years behind bars. The judge said he had con-
sidered many factors in deciding the sentence, including the difficulties police officers have serving time in prison, and more than 50 letters people wrote to support the officer’s character. The sentence also needed to denounce the officer’s actions and provide a deterrence, Ehrcke said. Gordon Comer, spokesman for the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch, said Millington will begin his sentence on Monday, but can apply for bail, pending a decision on his appeal. Millington is the first to be sentenced. The other officer found guilty of perjury, former corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson, will be sentenced July 24. Const. Bill Bentley and Const. Gerry Rundel were acquitted. Earlier this month, the B.C. Court of Appeal tossed out a bid by prosecutors to have Bentley’s acquittal overturned. Comer said the four cases all had slight differences, so varying results are not unusual. “There are subtle differences, and people would have to read the different (judge’s written) reasons for each of those to get a sense of those differences,” Comer added.
ARMSTRONG
Robinson’s lawyer previously told the court that Furlong had implied she had tried to extort money from him in exchange for not publishing the story. Furlong testified that a former Olympics staff member had approached him in the latter part of 2009, saying he had met someone who claimed he’d struck her. Furlong said he replied that if a former student had a “bad experience,” he would like to meet them. He was also offered the opportunity to pay $5,000. He told the court he immediately phoned the head of integrated security for the Olympics, who suggested he make a report to the Vancouver Police. But in addition, he said another high-ranking Olympics official, Dan Doyle, arranged a meeting with the woman at a home in the Vancouver neighbourhood of False Creek.
“I certainly don’t remember anything about her. I certainly don’t remember ever strapping anybody, because we weren’t allowed, and if there was going to be strapping it was going to be the principal. And I had never even seen that,” he said, describing the meeting as “dignified.” During his testimony, Furlong recalled the volunteer teaching stint between 1969 and 1970 as “absolutely fantastic.” “It was a very happy place. I enjoyed every minute and when I left, I thought for the rest of my life this would be just a warm memory for me.” Furlong’s lawyer is arguing his client was legally entitled to respond to the “sustained and unrelenting attack” on his character starting in the spring of 2012. John Hunter told the trial that Robinson used her position as a journalist, and the privilege of the courts, to make untrue allegations. Last week, the journalist testified that Furlong’s public comments have damaged her reputation, career and health. Furlong testified that he dropped his own defamation case against the woman after his reputation had been restored when one woman abandoned her allegations and the courts dismissed two other lawsuits against him.

Footprints may be oldest CSIS papers may point found in North America to entrapment: Lawyer Human footprints found embedded below the shoreline of a remote British Columbia island could be the oldest ever discovered in North America. Researchers believe the fossilized footprints found on Calvert Island in Queen Charlotte Sound on B.C.’s Central Coast are over 13,000 years old, more than 2,000 years older than human imprints found in Mexico. Archaeologist Duncan McLaren says the footprints are being tested for their age but charcoal found above the impressions was radiocarbon dated at 13,200 years old.
A Lawyer for a British Columbia man found guilty of terrorism wants Canada’s spy agency to hand over information that could shed light on whether her client was manipulated by police. John Nuttall’s lawyer Marilyn Sandford says it appears the Canadian Security and Intelligence Agency has more information on Nuttall’s case than what the RCMP has released so far. The court heard that documents disclosed by the Mounties consist of little more than a single line advising police that Nuttall may be a national security threat.

Moose rider investigation Crown seeks four years after stunt aired online in sexual assault case British Columbia’s chief conservation officer says tips are coming in about the identity of several boaters seen harassing a swimming moose before one of them jumped on the animal’s back for a ride. Doug Forsdick says that while a YouTube video posted Saturday shows the men laughing at the apparent exploit, he found it hard to watch because the moose would have been stressed. He says harassment of wildlife is a serious offence and carries a minimum fine of $345, but the cost of such behaviour can go up to $100,000.
A community support worker who stripped a young man and shaved his body hair after he passed out should serve four years in prison, a Crown lawyer has argued. “He was essentially flaunting his power over a disadvantaged young man,” Chris Balison said, adding Michael Hume continues to deny his actions. Hume’s defence lawyer, Richard Kaiser, said his client should serve 90 days in jail, on weekends, along with three years’ probation. “Mr. Hume is at a low risk to reoffend,” Kaiser said.

Man falsely convicted of killing wife exonerated A senior citizen who spent more than half his life branded as his wife’s killer cleared his name Monday amid evidence that she died of natural causes. The Ontario Court of Appeal acquitted John Salmon of manslaughter in the 1970 death of Maxine Ditchfield, reversing a verdict that once sent him to prison for nearly four years. “I’m ecstatic,” Salmon said outside court. “I’m happy, I’m pleased I finally got this closure.” Ditchfield 75, was convicted after a jury decided he beat he to death in a drunken rage. But Monday’s court decision was based on evidence that she died of injuries from several falls after having a stroke.

Act to shift power from leaders to MPs lives on A Tory MP’s effort to rebalance power between MPs and party leaders has survived a challenge in the Senate — for now. Michael Chong’s Reform Act is designed to give MPs in a party caucus the power to trigger a leadership review, and to subsequently vote to oust their leader. Two Conservative senators, David Wells backed by Denise Batters, introduced an amendment last week that would have neutered that specific part of the private member’s bill. The bill was passed with the support of all parties in the House of Commons but has been getting a rough ride in the Senate, which still has to vote on whether to give it final approval.

New federal injection site rules stir criticism Opposition parties and health groups say new federal regulations will make it nearly impossible to obtain approvals for new supervised drug-injection sites. The Respect for Communities Act establishes 26 criteria for the government to consider when reviewing an application for a site. The bill allows injection sites to operate only in exceptional circumstances. Applicants must now provide medical and scientific evidence for proposed sites, with letters from stakeholders including health ministers, the head of the police force in the area and regional health officials. Critics say the new law contradicts the top court.

WestJet pilots file for union certification vote The WestJet Professional Pilot’s Association says it has asked the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to conduct a union certification vote. The association said in a post on its website that it filed the application for a vote among the company’s more than 1,200 pilots on Monday. If the application is approved, the industrial relations board is expected to oversee a secret ballot vote of all eligible pilots. The association said in its post that one of the requirements for making the application for a certification vote is a demonstration of more than 40 per cent support for the WPPA in membership card count. The WPPA says it exceeds that threshold.

Tories build war chest to counter Harper attacks Conservatives have formed a political action committee to counter attacks against Prime Minister Stephen Harper from progressive groups and labour unions. A group of former ministerial aides have created HarperPAC, a vehicle that allows Conservatives to raise and spend money beyond the limits and disclosure rules imposed on political parties. HarperPAC is a direct response to Engage Canada, a group of veteran Liberal and NDP strategists who have been collecting money from unions and other groups to run a concerted campaign against Harper’s re-election.

Obama remarks on race pull no punches
RCMP and feds must hand over Quebec gun data
U.S. president uses racially charged term to make his point NEDRA PICKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says the history of slavery and segregation is “still part of our DNA” in the United States, even if racial epithets no longer show up in polite conversation. He uttered the N-word in making his point. In an interview, Obama talked about the debates over race and guns that have erupted after the arrest of a white man in the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina. “Racism, we are not cured of it,” Obama said. “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.” Obama’s remarks came during an interview out Monday with comedian Marc Maron for his popular podcast, where coarse language is often part of the discussion. The president uttering a racial slur aloud stirred controversy, especially on social media, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest said later Monday that wasn’t surprising. Obama didn’t plan in advance to use the word to be provocative, Earnest said, but was simply making a point during a casual, free-flowing interview. He said he didn’t recall ever hearing the president say the racial slur aloud before, but noted that it did appear in his book, Dreams from My Father.

The White House on Monday said Obama would travel to Charleston on Friday to deliver the eulogy for the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of the Emanuel AME Church and one of the victims of last week’s shooting. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama knew the slain pastor, who also was a state senator and an early Obama supporter in the 2008 presidential campaign. In the interview, Obama said while attitudes about race have improved significantly since he was born to a white mother and black father, the “legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives, that casts a long shadow
Alberta apologizes for residential schools DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Premier Rachel Notley apologized Monday on behalf of Alberta to indigenous peoples for abuse in residential schools, and added her voice to an inquiry for missing and murdered aboriginal women. “We want the First Nation, Metis and Inuit people of Alberta to know that we deeply regret the profound harm and damage that occurred to generations of children forced to attend residential schools,” said Notley in a speech to the house. “Although the province did not establish this system, members of this chamber at the time did not take a stand against it. “And for this silence, we apologize.” In the gallery watching the speech were a number of invited guests of the premier, including residential school survivors. Earlier this month, the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission detailed more than a century of institutionalized abuse of generations of aboriginal children in residential schools. “This past is too painful to endure on your own,” Notley told the survivors. “In the journey of reconciliation you no longer have to walk alone.” Notley also urged the federal government to convene an inquiry on missing and murdered aboriginal women. “The silence that once was, has long since passed,” she said.

and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on.” Obama also expressed frustration that “the grip of the NRA on Congress is extremely strong” and prevented gun control from advancing in Congress after 20 children and six educators were massacred in a Connecticut elementary school in 2012. “I will tell you, right after Sandy Hook, Newtown, when 20 six-year-olds are gunned down, and Congress literally does nothing — yes, that’s the closest I came to feeling disgusted,” he said. “I was pretty disgusted.” He said it’s important to respect that hunting and sportsmanship are important to a lot of gun-owning Americans.
OTTAWA — A Federal Court judge has ordered that Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and the RCMP commissioner immediately hand over an external hard drive containing a copy of all Quebec gun registry data. Judge Luc Martineau gave the government until 10 a.m. Tuesday morning to deliver the hard drive to the court — effectively issuing a vote of non-confidence in government assurances that all the remaining long-gun registry records would be preserved while court challenges continue. It’s the first decisive legal skirmish in a battle that could last for some time between information commissioner Suzanne Legault and the Harper government over the long-defunct longgun registry. Legault will be launching a constitutional challenge Tuesday against retroactive gun registry provisions buried in the Harper government’s latest omnibus budget bill. It was the destruction of disputed records in 2012 that led Legault to issue a report this spring accusing the Mounties of breaking the Access to Information Act. The Ontario Provincial Police are now investigating the allegation. The government responded by retroactively rewriting the law, granting amnesty to anyone involved in the document destruction, backdating the changes to 2011.

UN seeks Canada’s aid in fight for children’s health
Be sparing of dental X-rays Dr. W. Gifford-Jones
While much has been accomplished, there’s still a long way to go: UNICEF
W
MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS
T
he United Nations children’s agency says tens of millions of children in poor countries will die needlessly in the next 15 years, raising questions about the success of the federal government’s signature aid initiative. That statistic is contained in UNICEF’s final assessment of the UN’s “Millennium Development Goals,” or MDGs — the set of benchmarks adopted in 2000 to elevate poor countries that are poised to expire in September. With the world set to convene at the UN in New York in September to launch another 15-year set of aid priorities — the “Sustainable Development Goals,” or SDGs — the UNICEF report says that while much has been accomplished, there’s still a long way to go. Among other things, it says 68 million children under age five will die from preventable causes by 2030, while 289,000 women will continue to die annually in child birth unless more is done to alleviate their plight. The federal government launched its maternal, newborn and child health initiative in 2010 to target those particular problems — cited in two of the eight MDGs — and regularly trumpets its success, calling Canada a world leader. Senior UNICEF officials in New York said Tuesday that while there has been progress in those areas since 2000, no statistics show definitive success since the Conservatives took up the cause five years ago. Their assessment raises doubts about periodic statements such as this one last

month by Development Minister Christian Paradis, who said: “Since 2010 . . . fewer women are dying in pregnancy and childbirth and millions more children are celebrating their fifth birthday.” Holly Newby, the head of UNICEF’s data and analytics unit, said it won’t be known until September whether there has been a decline in the deaths of kids and moms since 2010. “It is more challenging for us to get a good grasp of trends over a short time period, in this case since 2010 to the present day. However, based on the data we do have avail-
able to us, we are seeing some encouraging trends,” said Newby. “We’re hoping we can do a final assessment, including highlighting what we know of progress over the last five years. That will be coming up in the next few months.” Anthony Lake, UNICEF’s executive director, noted that in 1990 the maternal mortality rate in poor countries was 38 times higher than in high income countries. By 2013, it was down to 19 times the rate of rich countries — dropping by half — but he said that’s “still way higher than it ought to be.”
Since 1990, deaths among children under age five have been halved, from 90 per 1,000 live births to 43 per 1,000 live births. “If the global community allows the current trends to continue, we will fail millions of children,” said Lake. David Morley, the head of UNICEF Canada, said even though the world has fallen short of its development targets, the gains that have been made are unmatched in human history. “We want the government of Canada to continue to be a champion of maternal and newborn child health,” he said.

Donating body for science seen as unselfish SHERYL UBELACKER THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — When Jennifer Longley’s mother passed away six years ago at age 86, one of the first calls she had the hospital make wasn’t to a funeral home but to Dalhousie University. Her mother, Doris Palmer, had arranged many years before to will her remains to the Halifax school’s Human Body Donation Program to aid in the training of future doctors, dentists and other health professionals. “Those were my mother’s wishes, that her body go there,” says Longley, who lives in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. “My mother was a very caring person. And because of her caring nature, I think this was just a natural thing for her to make one last gift to society of her body.” Bequeathing one’s remains for the benefit of others is one of the most unselfish gifts a person can bestow, says Bren-

“The majority of people I talk to, it’s about helping others and giving back.” Brenda Armstrong, Dalhousie University
da Armstrong, co-ordinator of the Dalhousie program, which receives about 120 donated bodies each year from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P.E.I. Donors can also choose to will their brains for research to the Maritime Brain Tissue Bank housed at Dalhousie, one of several such university-based banks in Canada. As awareness of this afterdeath option grows — university medical schools across the country have similar programs — more Canadians are considering donation, says Armstrong, who gets up to a dozen inquiries per week and has consent forms from 60,000
to 70,000 potential donors on file. “The majority of people I talk to, it’s about helping others and giving back,” she says. It’s critical the donor designate a close relative or executor to fulfil their wishes after death, says Armstrong, and the decision should be discussed with immediate family ahead of time “so there are no surprises.” The program pays for transport, preservation and cremation of the remains, which are kept for one to three years. The University of Toronto’s Body Donation Program has similar requirements for the roughly 200 cadavers it accepts each year. Most are used to teach medical, dental and rehabilitative undergraduates the fine points of anatomy in the dissection lab, although some are designated for training physicians at the school’s surgical skills centre. “Anatomy is the foundational subject to any of the health professions,” says Dr. Mike

Wiley, an anatomy instructor who encourages his often initially nervous first-year students not to shy away from the dissection process because that would mean not honouring the donor’s intent. “I tell my class at the beginning of the year that these are very, very special people who would give this gift to somebody that they’ve never met so that that person could become a better caregiver to look after people that the donor will never meet,” he says. Students are also told that respect for the deceased is paramount. “The cadaver is never to be the object of a joke.” Each June, the university holds a memorial service to recognize the donors, whose cremated remains are given to the family, if they so choose, or interred at St. James’ Cemetery in the city’s downtown. “It’s a means of creating closure both for the families and for the students and the faculty,” says Wiley.
hat should you do the next time the dentist tells you he or she is going to take full dental X-rays? A new study shows that just as porcupines make love very, very carefully, you should also take care to limit the amount of radiation exposure during your lifetime, particularly the amount children receive. Dr. Elizabeth Claus of Yale University reports in the American Cancer Society Journal Cancer, that there’s a link between dental x-rays and the risk of developing a brain tumour called a meningioma. These tumours grow from the meninges, the layers of tissue that cover the brain. Fortunately, most meningiomas are benign. Others are slow growing, but they can become life-threatening when they become as large as a baseball compressing brain tissue. Meningiomas account for 34 per cent of all primary brain tumours, can occur at any age and are twice as common among women as in men. It was once believed that the main cause of meningiomas was ionizing radiation due to atomic bombs or radiation received during cancer treatment. Now, Dr. Claus says the main risk is dental x-rays. Dr. Claus and her colleagues studied 1,433 Americans who had meningiomas with 1350 others who did not have this tumour, but who were of the same age profile, sex ratio and geographical area. The researchers then analyzed the dental and medical history of both groups. For instance, they were questioned whether their dentist had ordered standard X-rays, known as bite-wings, every year, never, or now and then. Finally they were asked if they had ever had braces which involve full mouth X-rays. Dr. Claus concluded that those who reported having full mouth X-rays before 10 years of age were 4.9 times more likely to develop a meningioma. Those who had full mouth X-rays later than 10 years of age were three times more prone to this tumour. So how can you avoid needless dental radiation? According to Dr. Claus all children who get braces today also get full mouth X-rays. None of my children had braces, but most of my grandchildren have had them. How many of them really needed braces and has this practice become a fashionable trend. Is the risk worthwhile if only for cosmetic reasons? Never accept this rationale if a dental technician says, “Don’t worry, you get more radiation exposure from a day in the sun or flying to the Caribbean.” I agree that today dental X-rays expose patients to less radiation than in the past. But little bits of radiation mount up, particularly when one totals the exposure received from other X-ray tests. Radiation isn’t like an infection that’s cured by antibiotics. Rather, radiation is cumulative and, like an elephant, our bodies never forget the amount received during a lifetime. I’ve always worried about needless radiation and many years ago one of my columns made headline news. I discovered that some patients were receiving huge amounts of radiation from dental and other X-rays. For instance, some equipment had not been serviced for 15 years! This sparked a major investigation by the government. Dental X-rays are, of course, required for legitimate reasons. But like anything they can be overdone. So always ask if the X-ray is really needed. No one really knows how much radiation we can receive before it causes trouble. ]So what should parents do? I’d agree that markedly crooked teeth deserve to have braces as the radiation dose does not compare with a CT scan. But for lesser imperfections it may be prudent for parents to ask, “Should I subject my child to potential risk of radiation and a meningioma, and how important is it for my child to have the perfect smile?”

Nanaimo ‘a very attractive market’ for WHL franchise
Mid-Isle Mariners split PCSL play over weekend
Western Hockey League needs re-location, not expansion, to come to the mid-Island SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
N
anaimo will be given “full consideration” to be home to a Western Hockey League franchise if another team relocates and if a proposed new multiplex is indeed built, league commissioner Ron Robison said Monday. “It’s a very attractive market,” Robison said in a phone interview with the Daily News. “It sounds like there’s some real good initial work that’s being done, and it’s a very exciting project for the community of Nanaimo. We’ve indicated all along that in the event a facility that meets the WHL standard, if it’s available in Nanaimo, the market becomes a real interest to us.” A proposal for a privately funded 5,000-seat sports and entrainment multiplex downtown, as well as residences, a hotel and commercial space, was made public last week by Nanaimo Howard Johnson hotel general manager Dan Brady on behalf of developer Brian Martin. The complex is proposed to replace the Howard Johnson and Tally-Ho liquor store on the corner of Comox and Terminal avenues, and would be able to house a WHL team. If the building is constructed, Robison said finding a team to relocate to Nanaimo would be the next step to bringing a second team to Vancouver Island and provide a natural rival to the Victoria Royals, as well as help mitigate league travel issues on and off the Island. “At this point, we are committed to our existing markets and although we do have some challenges in certain markets, we want to exhaust every effort to keep them in their markets,” he said. “In the event that doesn’t happen, Nanaimo will be considered due to how strategically it is located from the standpoint of our franchise in Victoria and generally the Western Conference.” Brady confirmed Monday that the Howard Johnson group looking to build the complex is unlikely to be interested in purchasing and relocating an existing team — that means a current owner would need to relocate a team, or sell to someone who is willing to, for Nanaimo to have a team. The Cranbrook-based Kootenay Ice franchise is one possibility of a team nearing the brink of relocating. Playing in a city with a population of 19,364 (2011 census), the Ice attracted the second-fewest number of fans in

the WHL last season with 2,239 per game. Nanaimo’s population is 83,810 (2011 census). Ice owner, president and general manager Jeff Chynoweth told The Globe and Mail in December that his franchise is “looking at a six-figure deficit this year, a significant six-figure deficit . . . I’ve been in the league for 29 years in a lot of different markets and have seen the game change and I’ll tell you this: When your expenses continue to rise and your revenue is flat, that is not a good mix.” Chynoweth’s son, Ryan, played for the Ice for the past two season, but is leaving the team to finish his junior hockey career in Junior A, according to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. As well, earlier this month Robison told the Townsman that the viability of a franchise in Cranbrook has “reached a very critical stage.” “I think it’s something we’re going to have to determine this year. If things aren’t improving, I don’t believe ownership or the league will be in a position to continue to support the franchise remaining in Cranbrook. “It’s a very critical season coming up. . . We’re concerned right now, under any circumstances. “It’s going to be a challenge, regardless of the ownership group.” A relocation of the Ice to
Nanaimo would also put a balance on the number of teams in the league’s two conferences, with 11 in each. Currently, the Eastern Conference has 12 teams and the Western Conference has 10. However, Robison said Monday no WHL owners have expressed an interest to sell or relocate, and reiterated expansion is not an option. “We’re focused on, whether its the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook or another franchise, keeping them in their markets,” he said. “And we’re going to do everything we can to see if that’s possible. “That’s our commitment to those communities where we currently are.” Alberta-based Nanaimo Clippers co-owner and governor Ken Wagner, who currently has the local B.C. Hockey League team up for sale, remains excited about the prospect of a WHL team possibly coming to Nanaimo. He said the Clippers would be unable to survive with a WHL team also in town, but that there should be few troubles finding an owner to put a WHL team in the proposed new building, if it is built. “There’s no doubt that, if there’s a 5,000-seat rink, the Western Hockey League will be there,” Wagner said. Wagner went through the process of trying to bring a multiplex and a WHL team to Nanaimo years ago, but it never came to fruition. “About eight years ago, we sat down with the city and went through very similar circumstances that they are today, other than that we don’t own the land like the Howard Johnson does today,” he said. “We had drawn up a set of blueprints and spent a considerable amount of money and never got
in the door. At that time, city council was preoccupied with the convention centre, so I don’t think there was much of an appetite from the city administration at that point.” According to Brady, the city will likely be asked to assist with helping remove impediments on the property, as well as to partner with the group to put local recreation programs in the multiplex. In 2013, the WHL and other stakeholders approached Nanaimo city council to gauge the interest of the community with regards to building a multiplex. Nothing came out of that, either. “That was simply to explore Nanaimo’s interest in a facility so we could determine whether or not Nanaimo could be considered down the road for a franchise in the event that we did have a relocation,” Robison said. “This is the first new development that we’ve had since that meeting.” Robison added if a new multiplex is guaranteed to be built and a WHL team was set to be relocated to Nanaimo, Frank Crane Arena could be used while the new facility is constructed. “We’ve done that before in the past where we had temporary facility, but certainly not from a long-term standpoint,” he said. The city and the proposed developer are working on setting up a meeting to discuss plans for the site, Brady said. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243 » We want to hear from you.

It was a roller-coaster weekend on the road for the Mid Isle Mariners as Chris Merriman’s team won one, lost one in Pacific Coast Soccer League action. The team lost 2-1 to the Kamloops Heat on Saturday but were able to bounce back with a victory via the same scoreline the following day against the previously undefeated Vancouver United. With a thin squad to choose from and a number of key players missing, the Mariners arrived in Kamloops with only 13 players available. James Merriman, Riley O’Neill, Chris Arnett and Taylor Arbour, among others, were all absent from the starting lineup. Down 1-0 early, things went from bad to worse when left back Nate Ruston was forced off with an injury. That took the already depleted squad down to 12 with just one substitute in place. Bryce McManus was able to equalize for the visitors before half-time but as they pushed forward early in the second, they left themselves open to the counterattack and conceded to a breakaway goal, which Merriman described as against the run of play. The Mariners were unable to recover from that loss of momentum, but their fortunes would change in Vancouver on Sunday. United opened the scoring before Blaze Roberts tied it up to make it 1-1 at the half. Merriman said during the half-time chat that it was important not to replicate the events of the previous day and head back to the Island with nothing — it worked a treat. McManus scored the winner and even missed a penalty to make the scoreline even more handsome. “That’s the best I’ve seen us play,” said Merriman. “We created numerous chances and missed a couple of breakaways as well. I couldn’t be happier with the boys’ performance, the young guys really stepped up to the plate. We battled through and on Sunday, when we didn’t really know what to expect, we put in a really good performance.” New recruits Brody Harry, Billy Bagiopoulos and Zac Stinson had weekends to remember. Stinson in particular, a striker by trade, was asked to cover at left back after the departure of Ruston — a position he has never played before. The win in Vancouver pushed the Mariners into second place in the table and cut United’s six point lead in half, with five games left to go before the playoffs. The Mariners take on the Vancouver Thunderbirds at UBC this Saturday before returning home to face the Victoria Highlanders on Sunday at Forrest Field in Ladysmith at 2 p.m. They lead the Highlanders by goal difference only in the standings.

Former No. 1 pick, a Canadian, on trade block
Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 draft, has had two largely disappointing seasons in the NBA. The first with Cleveland was bad enough that the Cavs were willing to give him up after just one season as part of last summer’s blockbuster trade with the Wolves that also sent Andrew Wiggins to Minnesota in exchange for Kevin Love. Bennett was either injured or ineffective for much of his year in Minnesota. And now it appears the Wolves are ready to move on from him just as quickly as Cleveland was. Per a tweet from ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Wolves have made Bennett available in a trade prior to Thursday’s draft.

Browns claim Pryor off waivers as a receiver Terrelle Pryor believes he can be an NFL wide receiver. The Browns are giving him a chance to catch on with them. Pryor, who has made 10 pro starts at quarterback, was awarded on waivers to Cleveland on Monday and the Browns intend to give him a shot at making their roster as a wideout. The former Ohio State star recently announced his intentions to switch positions to prolong a career that appeared to be headed toward a finish. In Cleveland, Pryor will be reunited with Browns offensive co-ordinator John DeFilippo. The pair spent the 2013 season together with the Raiders with Pryor making nine starts at QB. Pryor has one career catch for 22 yards in the NFL, but the six-foot-four, 233-pounder is a superb athlete and might be able to make the transition to wide receiver. The B.C. Lions own his Canadian Football League rights.
◆ WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY
Hockey Canada names Doug Armstrong its GM The World Cup will be a whole new experience for Hockey Canada. Doug Armstrong was named general manager of Team Canada on Monday and he said that there’s advantages and challenges to the eight-team event that will be held in Toronto from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1, 2016. “It’s going to be exciting knowing that you’re going to get healthy players with energy,” said Armstrong, referring to the early fall start time. “At the Olympics you’re crossing your fingers and hoping that last game you’re not losing players. That’s not going to be the case now. We’re going to get well-rested players.” The event, hosted by the NHL and NHLPA, has some tweaks to its formatting. Traditional hockey powers Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden, and the United States will have teams, but two all-star teams will also compete. An all-European lineup of players from unrepresented countries will play, as well as a team of North American players 23 years old and younger.
◆ CFL
Changes on return rules give edge to quick players Brandon Banks proved last season he’s a master of operating in close quarters. This year, the Hamilton TigerCats special-teams dynamo will have more room to roam. Under new CFL rule changes, the five interior linemen on a punt team must remain on the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked. The move will drastically limit the number of downfield tacklers shifty returners like Banks will have in their face when they get the ball, giving them roughly another 10 yards of space. Not that Banks needs much room — he averaged 10.3 yards per punt return last season. He took two back for TDs — and had another called back due to a penalty — in Hamilton’s 40-24 East Division final win over Montreal before having an electrifying 90-yard return for a score nullified by a red flag in the Ticats’ heartbreaking 20-16 Grey Cup loss to Calgary. Banks said the rule change suits his style well. “I’m a space type of returner,” he said.

Spieth’s U.S. Open title shows he is golf’s present, and its future Larry Stone The Seattle Times
I
n the end, it was all just a swirl of raw emotion for Jordan Spieth, who once was deemed the future of golf but now is its shining present. There was jubilation, of course, for winning the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay on Sunday in the most dramatic, and improbable, of fashions. There was empathy, as Johnson three-putted on the 18th hole to squander first a chance for outright victory and then a share of the lead with Spieth. There was relief, certainly, as Spieth’s own glaring misstep, a double-bogey on 17 that opened the door for Johnson, failed to haunt him. And there was something deeper, more elemental, which became apparent when Spieth and his dad, Shawn, embraced on Father’s Day, the son bestowing the glittering gift of a second straight major championship. “I feel for Dustin,” Spieth said, “but I haven’t been able to put anything in perspective yet.” Certainly, the vantage point is rapidly becoming historic for Spieth, who at age 21 is racking up achievements that already put him in the pantheon of all-time greats. He became the youngest U.S. Open champion since Bobby Jones, also 21, in 1923, and the youngest ever of the six golfers to win the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. Now Spieth is halfway to becoming the first golfer to win the game’s grand slam — all four majors in one year. The next step will be the British Open at St. Andrew, Scotland, next month. Tiger Woods — whose place at the forefront of pro golf Spieth is usurping — held all four titles simultaneously in 2001 and 2002, but not in the same calendar year. “You can’t win them all unless you win the first two, I guess,” Spieth said. After all the griping about

Chambers Bay and the sniping about the ragged greens, which only accelerated Sunday as the also-rans whined their way out of town, the final memory of this golf tournament was pure, unadulterated, unscripted drama. “I’ve never experienced a feeling like this: total shock,” Spieth said, his trophy glinting next to him on the podium. The final stretch of three holes was absolutely riveting, as the tournament’s story line was transformed from course conditions to golf performance, as it should be. On a gorgeous first day of summer, there was a maelstrom of charges and retreats that gave any number of golfers a fighter’s chance to take the victory. There was Adam Scott, who roared into contention with a course-record 64. There was Louis Oosthuizen, who finished with birdies on six of the final seven holes, the last of which, on 18, pulled him into a tie with Spieth. There was Spieth’s playing partner, relative unknown Branden Grace, who kept pace with Spieth the whole day until clanking his drive on 16 out of bounds and practically onto the train tracks.
The resulting double-bogey effectively ended Grace’s hopes— particularly with a birdie putt by Spieth on the same hole that gave him a three-stroke lead. The building drama seemed suddenly drained. Surely, the preternaturally composed Spieth would now easily wrap this baby up. “When that putt fell on 16, I was as animated as I’ve been maybe since I threw a tantrum on the course at age 13,” Spieth said. “I thought that was the one. Then I soon talked myself out of that being the one.” The reference was to his errant drive into the rough on the 17th hole that set into motion a double-bogie. When his putt for a bogey missed, Spieth put his head down in disgust and leaned on the shoulder of caddie Michael Greller, the former math teacher whose home course is Chambers Bay. He knew it was about to get real. Certain victory became agonizing tension after Johnson, playing in the final group right behind Spieth and Grace, racked up a birdie on 17 to pull into a tie. The story of this tournament will be nearly as much the downfall of Johnson as the coronation of Spieth. Three times before Johnson had started in the final
group of a major, and each time he came up short — twice in particularly agonizing fashion. He shot a final-round 82 in the 2010 U.S. Open to blow a three-shot lead, and had to give up a spot in a playoff in the 2010 PGA championship when assessed a twostroke penalty for grounding his club before striking the ball in a bunker on the final hole. But this might be the one that haunts Johnson the longest — and deepest. After Spieth barely missed an eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole and settled for a birdie, Johnson lined up his own eagle putt on 18 to win outright. It was so quiet you could hear the massive bleachers creaking, the sort of intense silence you don’t often get with a gathering of thousands. Johnson missed that putt — and then missed the resulting three-footer that would have set up an 18-hole playoff on Monday. Johnson visibly sagged, agony written on his face. Johnson’s taking three putts from 12 feet, 4 inches will go down in golf history. But Johnson’s demeanor brightened when his fiancee, Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of the hockey great, met him at the top of the hill and handed him their infant son. It was Johnson’s first Father’s Day — Monday is his 31st birthday — and he seemed to be grappling with the realization that life might not be as bad as it had seemed minutes earlier. A slight smile crept over his face. That was to be contrasted with the utter ecstasy that engulfed Spieth. “It was incredible to win another major,” he said. “You only get a few moments in life like this, and I recognize that.” That moment deserves to be the epitaph for this U.S. Open as much as the debate about the worthiness of the course, which will no doubt rage on. “Obviously, it was controversial,” said Greller, the Washingtonian who carries Spieth’s clubs, “but I think Jordan put a real positive exclamation point on this week.” » Larry Stone is a columnist for the Seattle Times.

Rose bet on games as a player
CFL players to watch for in 2015 season
FRANK FITZPATRICK THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
All of Pete Rose’s impressive entries in baseball’s record books — the National League hits mark he set as a Phillie, the major-league standard that came during his second stint with the Reds — may ultimately mean nothing now that the contents of another record book have been made public. ESPN’s Outside the Lines reported Monday that a ledger confiscated in 1989 during the raid on a Rose associate’s Ohio home confirmed that baseball’s all-time hits leader had done what he had long denied — bet on Cincinnati Reds games while he was still playing for them. The network reviewed Michael Bertolini’s notebook, a document that baseball investigators had fought unsuccessfully to obtain and which a court order had kept locked away. The documents showed Rose wagers — up to $5,500 — on various sporting events, including Reds games. According to ESPN, the bets Bertolini recorded were being channeled through New York mobsters. In 1989, baseball’s Dowd Report, which led to the player’s banishment from the game that year, stated that Rose then owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to gamblers. “Bertolini nails down the connection to organized crime on Long Island and New York,” said John Dowd, who headed baseball’s investigation into Rose. “ And that is a very powerful problem. . . . The implications for baseball are terrible. The mob had a mortgage on Pete while he was a player and manager.” Rose, 74, has denied betting on games in which he played ever since news of his gambling troubles broke in 1989. In 2004, after long denying that, too, he admitted making wagers on Reds games he had managed. But as recently as April, on

“The mob had a mortgage on Pete while he was a player and a manager.“ John Dowd, investigator
a New York radio show, Rose insisted he had not bet on games as a player. “Never bet as a player,” he told host Michael Kay. “That’s a fact.” The timing of these revelations could be devastating to whatever hopes Rose might have had about getting the ban lifted or becoming eligible for baseball’s Hall of Fame. In March, Rose, whose 23-year playing career included five seasons in Philadelphia, applied to baseball’s new commissioner, Rob Manfred, for reinstatement. Major League Baseball has not commented on the ESPN report. The incriminating pages came from a notebook seized at Bertolini’s home during a U.S. Postal Inspection Service raid in Octo-
ber 1989, nearly two months after Rose was declared permanently ineligible. Their authenticity, the network said, was verified by two people who took part in the raid. That action was part of a mail fraud investigation and unrelated to gambling. The notebook, despite Dowd’s efforts to obtain it, had remained under court-ordered seal. Several years ago it was transferred to the New York office of the National Archives, which had denied requests to review it from several news organizations, including ESPN. The network’s report did not make clear how it got access to the document. In a statement released by his lawyer, Rose indicated that the reinstatement application included an agreement that he would not comment on any related specifics. “I’m eager to sit down with Manfred to address my entire history — the good and the bad — and my long personal journey since baseball.
The 2015 CFL season kicks off June 25 with the Montreal Alouettes facing the Ottawa Redblacks. Here’s a list of 10 players to watch this year. Travis Lulay — The 2011 Grey Cup MVP appeared in just one game last season, re-injuring his surgically repaired right throwing shoulder. Lulay, 31, threw for over 4,000 yards in 2011 and ’12 with a combined 59 TDs and 21 interceptions. He had 2,841 passing yards with 19 TDs and 11 interceptions in 11 starts in ’13 before being injured. Bo Levi Mitchell — Mitchell guided Calgary to a CFL-best 15-3 record and league championship, finishing his first season as the starter being named the Grey Cup game MVP. Mitchell threw for over 3,300 yards with 22 TDs and just eight interceptions in 14 starts. Calgary looks to become just the third repeat Grey Cup champion since 1996-97. Austin Collie — The former NFL star is looking to resurrect his football career with the B.C. Lions. Collie had 179 catches for 1,908 yards with 16 TDs over five NFL seasons with Indianapolis and New England Patriots. The Hamilton native missed extended time in 2010 with a concussion and nearly all of 2012 the result of a torn patellar tendon. Solomon Elimimian — The B.C. Lions linebacker has a tough act to follow. Last season, Elimimian became the first true defensive player to be named the CFL’s outstanding player after registering a league-record 143 tackles. He was also its top defensive performer. In 2010, the 28-year-old Elimimian captured the league’s top rookie honour.

Vegas welcomes the hockey world to town STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
LAS VEGAS — This week, Las Vegas hopes to shine bright as the centre of the hockey universe. With expansion buzz impossible to ignore, Sin City welcomes the NHL this week for yet another awards show. But most importantly general managers and the board of governors meet to determine the league’s short- and long-term future. The hockey world will be in town to see Las Vegas at its sizzling finest. “Big events and hospitality is what we do,” Cara Clarke of the Las Vegas Metro chamber of commerce said. “That’s Las Vegas.” For the first time, GMs will meet in Las Vegas and at an opportune time for trade talk leading up to this weekend’s draft in Sunrise, Fla. Previously they met at the Stanley Cup final. With the Chicago Blackhawks and other teams up against the salary cap, the landscape is primed for movement. “Everybody sort of trying to get a real good solid view of the landscape ahead of each and every one of us heading into the draft,” Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney said on a conference call last week. “I think everybody is sort of in the same boat and taking inventory.” On Tuesday the GMs will find out the salary cap for next season, which commissioner Gary Bettman projected to be somewhere in the US$70-71 million range. Even that small a range “can make a difference” for cap-strapped teams, Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall said Friday. No matter where the cap is, players will be on the move The Blackhawks could look to shed the contracts of Patrick Sharp and Bryan Bickell, the Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to try to deal Phil Kessel, and the Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks are among the teams with goaltenders to trade. The Cup-champion Blackhawks may be among the most active teams in the trade market.

ast won the king and was confronted by a problem. Should he tap the dummy with a spade, switch to a diamond or even a club. He chose to play a diamond which was wrong on this layout. Declarer drew trump with the ace of hearts, ruffed a spade and disposed of a club on the king of diamonds. A diamond ruff brought down the queen and dummy was entered with a trumptogetridofthelastclub on the diamond winner, N-S +680. A trump return would also be ineffective. East must return a club to earn the defense two tricks but it was a pure guess as to which minor to play. South’s leap to game was not a pre-empt but disclosed a selfsufficient suit with a strong hand. North had no trouble advancing to five hearts when West saved at four spades. East will emerge with eight tricks at spades when South begins with a top heart, cashes the ace of diamonds but switches to a club. E-W would be -500 at five spades doubled but West had pushed the opponents to the five-level and N-S might be cold for a slam. The other option in the auction would be to immediately advance to five spades, applying the pressure, and hoping that N-S would misjudge. This action would present North with a huge problem.

Upon returning to Nanaimo he married Dolly (McKenzie) in 1953 and moved to Victoria where he worked as a postman until his retirement in 1980. John and Dolly enjoyed travelling during their retirement making frequent trips to Reno and Hawaii. When Dolly passed away in 2006, John returned to Nanaimo to be closer to his family. He lived independently and enjoyed being amongst the wonderful people at Longwood (Stonecroft) Condominums and volunteering at the Nanaimo Military Museum until his sudden passing just 8 months shy of his 100th birthday. John was a gentle and kindhearted man who enjoyed spending time with his family, having fun and laughing during special occasions, cheering on his favourite sport teams including the Nanaimo Clippers, the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Red Wings as well as the Vancouver Canucks. John will be greatly missed by many friends that he made over his long life, especially Jim and Isabel Holmes, his niece Donna (Waide) Stennes, great-niece Kayla Nathan) Robinson, great-great-niece, Lily, great nephew Scott Stennes, nephew Murray (Kim) Anderson, sisterin-law, Kay Sharpe, brother-in-law Rod McKenzie, and many nieces and nephews from the extended McKenzie and Fogden families. A Celebration of Life will be held in his honour on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the Longwood Condominiums Clubhouse in Nanaimo.

DEATHS Thicke, Dorothy Gea February 2, 1921 - June 16, 2015
Dorothy Gea Thicke (nee Widsten) died peacefully with family at her bedside, at Berwick on the Lake in Nanaimo on June 16, 2015, where she had lived for the past 6 years. Mom is survived by her children; Marilyn Montgomery, Brian Thicke (Margaret) and David Thicke (Som) as well as 9 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Arthur Robert (Bob) Thicke on March 22, 2002. Mom was born on February 2, 1921 in Bella Coola, BC later moving to Ocean Falls with her older siblings to attend high school. She was the youngest daughter & last remaining sibling of the 13 children born to John and Gea (Fosbak) Widsten of Bella Coola: Clara (Oddy), Edna, Andrew, Clarence, Mabel (Goodie), Eleanor (Gran), Margaret (Hodson, Young), Georgia (Galloway), John, Donald, Marion (Reay), Dorothy (Thicke) and Edward. Dorothy met her husband Bob in Vancouver where they wed on Sept, 9. 1944. They lived for a short time in Tofino where they started their family then moved to Vancouver where their 2 sons were born. After living 16 years in Vancouver, they moved to Prince Rupert for 4 years, then to Victoria for 10 years until they retired in Lantzville, BC. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very large extended family was always quite central to their social calendar. Family events such as birthdays, weddings, family reunions and travel were always well attended by the many Widstens of all ages. Mom & Dad were very involved in the square dancing and bridge communities over the years and lived a very active life. Mom also enjoyed gardening, walking & lawn bowling. Together they travelled by motor home, airplanes and cruise ships to many parts of the world. Mom continued with many of these interests for as long as she was able. She always enjoyed being involved with the grandchildren and was affectionately called Gigi by the great grandchildren. We would like to thank the staff at Berwick On The Lake especially those in the care unit, where Mom spent her last few years. Their warmth and caring brought many smiles to Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and made this time of her life very comfortable and fun in spite of her advancing years. A celebration of her life will be held at the Nanaimo Ecumenical Centre, 6234 Sparton Road, Nanaimo at 2:00, June 25th. A reception will follow the service.

It is with great sadness, that our family must announce the sudden passing of our loving husband, dad and poppa Neil after a brief illness. Neil was predeceased by his two brothers Lloyd and Ab. He is lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend of 60 years, Bernice, his son David (Johanna), daughter Karen (Richard) and his four beloved grandchildren, Jacob, Hanna, Amy and Kylee. Neil was born in Calgary, Alberta, and moved to BC with his family at age five. The family soon moved to Wall Beach, Nanoose Bay, where Neilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad ran an Auto Court. Neil spent his early years as a logger, and then moved on to work at BC Telephone Company for 35 years. Even before his retirement from BC Tel, Neil was moving on to bigger and more exciting projects! Neil and his partners formed Arbutus Park Estates, which subdivided and developed Madrona Point, where Neil and Bernice eventually built their home and have resided for the past 36 years. After Madrona Point was complete, Neil had an even more elaborate vision for his next project, and decided Nanoose Bay wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be complete without an 18 hole championship golf course. Fairwinds was born and Neil and his partners set off building their dream of a golf course and surrounding subdivision. This project eventually included Schooner Cove Marina and Hotel. Neil was also involved in the early development of Dolphin Beach Estates, he and Bernice built a cabin where the family spent every summer when the kids were young. Neil loved being on the water and was an avid fisherman. In his later years Neil, Bernice and the family spent many summer days cruising the waters aboard his Tollycraft â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thunderbirdâ&#x20AC;?. Neil and Bernice loved to travel, and had the opportunity to visit many different destinations with family and friends. Neil was always busy either in his garden, woodworking in his garage, golfing, taking pictures, or just having a drink with friends. Neil achieved so much in his lifetime, but to him there were still so many things left to do. Rest in Peace Dad (Poppa), life wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the same without youâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Ś A celebration of life for Neil will be held Friday, June 26th, 2015, at 2:00 pm at Fairwinds Clubhouse, 3730 Fairwinds Drive, Nanoose Bay, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations in Neilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, or the Canadian Cancer Society.

show and . . . you can see what was taken from real life.â&#x20AC;? Mob has a direct connection to Goodfellas in Ray Liotta, who played Henry Hill in the acclaimed 1990 Martin Scorsese film. Liotta says he was intrigued by the real mob stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reading (the narration) and every now and then I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, my gosh. They did this? They did that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was surprised by some of the stuff they came up with.â&#x20AC;? David describes the series, which covers more than 50 years of history through 1963, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a docu-drama, a mix of dramatic scenes, archives, visual effects, talking heads and voiceover.â&#x20AC;? By focusing on the real-life mobsters, depicted by actors, the hope is that viewers will become invested in their stories and the accompanying high stakes.
Mobsters have long been featured in movies and television, and fans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones who have picked up on gangster style. Organized crime figures took note of the clothing and attitudes sported by silver-screen icons such as James Cagney in 1931â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Public Enemy and Cagney and Humphrey Bogart in 1939â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Roaring Twenties. That connection remains to this day, David says, referring to a Mob story about crime kingpin Costello, who went to a psychiatrist decades before Tony Soprano did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you kidding me? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched every Sopranos episode more than one time and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Analyze This,â&#x20AC;? David says. Liotta has only played a couple of mob roles, but he understands the strong association with a film such as Goodfellas, celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Don’t keep wife in the dark regarding secret desires Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox
Dear Annie: I am 50 years old. After 10 years of marriage, I feel I must tell my wife of the reason for my declining ability to perform in the bedroom. After three months without intimacy, she requested that I see a doctor and I agreed to do so. However, what she doesn’t know is that in order to have a marriage with this wonderful woman, I have been suppressing my desire to cross-dress. I have been searching the Internet for days to find a therapist who can help me bring this issue out in an appropriate way. Many of the websites I’ve seen don’t appear to be professional. I don’t want to talk to my wife without a professional present
because I fear disastrous results. I love her dearly. What do you suggest? — No Life Without Wife Dear No Life: We suggest you contact The Society for the Second Self at Tri-ess.org and ask whether they can refer you to a therapist. You also can look online or in your phone book for a gender therapist or ask your doctor to refer you to someone. Please don’t keep your wife in the dark. She deserves to know the truth about what’s going on, and she can also be a source of support. Dear Annie: An office co-worker is getting married and she invited me to her bachelorette party. The plan was to take a limo and the cost was $60 per person. The maid of honour asked whether the price would be OK, and even though I thought it was a bit pricey, I agreed. The day of the party, two of her friends did not show up. Two days later, the bride and her maid of
honor texted the rest of us to pay an additional $20 to cover the cost of the no-shows. I feel this request is tacky. Why am I responsible for friends who aren’t reliable? And isn’t this part of the cost of planning a party? You don’t expect your guests to pay for food that doesn’t get eaten. Why should we pay the limo costs for people who don’t show up? — Not My Problem Dear Not: While it is expected that bachelorette party expenses be shared, it is unfair to have everyone agree to a specific amount and then change it later. The planning was done with a certain number of guests in mind, and the extra amount due should be paid by the ones who didn’t show up. However, this is a woman you work with and will have to see on a regular basis in the future. We think $20, even in instalments, is a small price to pay for maintaining peace in your office environment.
is likely to demonstrate his or her caring. Tonight: Listen to suggestions first. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be at a point where you feel as if you have no other choice but to state what is on your mind. Someone might be concocting a plan that seems a bit off-base. Maintain a sense of humour, as others could be unusually stiff. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner or dear friend might want to establish dominance. You’ll feel inclined to let the situation play out and not make any dramatic changes. Your mind could wander off to many creative ideas when given some free time. Tonight: Don’t hesitate to ask for what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have so much on your mind that it might be difficult to stay focused. A partner or associate could be making demands. It seems to be this person’s way or the highway. Your best bet is to

be ready for any kind of critical comments. Tonight: Say “yes” to a nice offer. YOUR BIRTHDAY (June 23) This year you could get caught in many mini-whirlwinds that seem to build on their own energy. Make it a point to get centered during those periods, and remind yourself of your goals, needs and desires. You will need to learn to manage your anger in a more constructive way. You can’t continue to swallow feelings that could lead to potential explosions. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone quiet interesting come fall. If you are attached, the two of you often jest and play together. Establish a mutually enjoyed pastime. VIRGO can be feisty and critical.

Apple says it will pay royalties after receiving Swift criticism THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Taylor Swift has Apple changing its tune. Hours after the pop superstar criticized the giant tech company in an open letter posted online, Apple announced Sunday that it will pay royalties to artists and record labels for music played during a free, three-month trial of its new streaming music service. “When I woke up this morning and I saw Taylor’s note that she had written, it really solidified that we needed to make a change,” said Apple senior vice-president Eddy Cue in an interview with The Associated Press. Apple had already agreed to share revenue from paid subscriptions to the new Apple Music service, which will cost $10 a month. But Swift said she would withhold her latest album from the service because Apple wasn’t planning to pay artists and labels directly for the use of their music during the free, introductory period.
“We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation,” Swift wrote in an open letter posted Sunday on her Tumblr page, under the heading “To Apple, Love Taylor. ” Apple has maintained that it negotiated revenue-sharing at rates that are slightly higher than the industry standard, to compensate for the three months that it plans to offer its streaming service without charge. “We had factored that in,” Cue said Sunday. But he added, “We had been hearing from artists that this was going to be rough on them, so we are making this change.” Cue declined to say how much Apple will pay in royalties for streaming during the free trial period. He said Apple will share 71.5 per cent of its revenue from paid subscriptions within the United States and 73 per cent from subscriptions outside the country, while other streaming services generally share about 70 per cent.
