Signs not allowed: Mayor McKay Residents displaying messages like ‘professional trough feeders’ and ‘stop the madness’ SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay said he will not allow signs to be held up at council meetings because they have proved disruptive and “intimidating” to council and audience members. Monday’s committee of the whole meeting ground to a halt for more than 30 minutes after McKay called a recess and had staff members call security in response to two men in the audience holding up signs with slogans like ‘professional trough feeders’ and ‘stop the madness.’ The two residents — Tim McGrath and Randy Stearman —

were sitting next to each other in the front row of the auditorium and began holding up the signs at the start of a presentation by culture and heritage commission
chairwoman Diana Johnstone on cultural grant funding. McKay stopped the presentation and repeatedly asked McGrath and Stearman to put down their signs. The two men refused, and McKay asked staff to call security. Stearman eventually left during the recess. McGrath left too, but later returned to council chambers without his signs. McKay once again asked him to leave. However, McGrath refused, even after a conference centre security guard arrived for the second time. Two RCMP officers later arrived at the auditorium.
McGrath then voluntarily got out of his seat and walked to meet and talk with police. He did not return to the meeting. RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien said no further police action was needed. “We simply went there, the individual complied, sometimes that’s all it takes,” O’Brien said. Before he left with police, McGrath said he had returned to speak as a delegation later in the meeting. McGrath said: “We’ve been here and doing this for well over two years. We’ve never been accused of disrupting council meetings before.”
McGrath said McKay had been supportive of signs at meetings in the past, a claim McKay denies. The mayor said he had privately told council members last May — McKay was a councillor then — that he did not think signs should be allowed in council chambers. “When you’ve got very intimidating messages that are being posted in the direction of council, they obstruct the view of others,” he said.

Officers put down cougar that killed Lantzville family’s small pet DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
W
ildlife officers destroyed a cougar that attacked and killed a family pet and showed no fear of humans. It happened on Phantom Road, in a semi-rural area of Lantzville Saturday morning. Carol Dendys was frightened when she found herself facing the predator. And she was upset with the loss of Chula, a five-year-old Pomeranian-chihuahua cross. It was a sunny morning when she was chatting with Brenda Robinson, a neighbour in her yard. Dendys’ eight-year-old grandson, Philip, was playing nearby. Suddenly they heard what Dendys describes as a “loud, high-pitched sound” coming from the bush on her treed acreage. Chula went to investigate. Dendys noticed something brown in the brush, which she thought was a deer. “Then I heard her yelp. I thought she got kicked by a deer.” With only flip-flops on her feet, she followed the dog, unaware she’d just met up with a young adult male cougar. When she saw movement Dendys thought it was Chula, “and I thought she must have been hurt. I said: ‘Chula, are you OK?’ “And then the cat turned around and looked at me.” She now knew it was a cougar. “For a split second, I thought: ‘Do I charge it?’ Then common

sense kicked in: ‘Chula’s dead, that’s it’s dinner, let’s get out of here.’” As her footwear fell off, thoughts of her young grandson raced through her mind. She called to her friend, about 15 metres away, to help guide her from the predator. “I said, ‘Just keep talking to me so I can know which way to go to get out of here.’” It took about five minutes, and “it felt like a really long time.” When the conservation officer

arrived, he wanted to know how the animal behaved. It wasn’t the first cougar sighting in the area. “It wasn’t afraid of me,” Dendys said. “It just stared at me. It had no fear of people.” When cougars attack pets or livestock, “they are destroyed, which is unfortunate,” said conservation officer Troy Sterling. “It was really comfortable with humans. “If relocated, we’d just be moving the problem.”

Dendys was still recovering on Tuesday. “The fog is just starting to lift,” she said. That day, she and Collin went to Canadian Tire to follow up on a suggestion from the officer: To get some air horns to frighten off marauding cougars. “Just be aware of your surroundings,” Dendys said.

RCMP hunt for cellphone flasher Man leaves phone, featuring inappropriate photos, for unsuspecting women to find DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo RCMP want to find a man believed to have repeatedly left his cellphone in with an obscene photo on display. Police received two similar complaints in the north Uplands Drive area in recent weeks. In one case a woman found an apparent lost cellphone showing a photo of a man’s penis. Another time, it was a naked man. A similar description was given for a suspect in both incidents.
LOCAL NEWS Compiled by Daily News ◆ COMMUNITY
Organizers happy with support for petition Organizers are satisfied with public response to a petition circulated to gauge support for Asian immigrants in Nanaimo. By signing the petition last week, 566 people said they share an open-door policy to people from all countries coming to Nanaimo to live and buy property. It was in response to the suggestion, in flyers and in graffiti, that seemed to target Chinese immigration as a negative force that drives up property prices, to reduce housing affordability. A group calling itself “Putting Canada First” distributed leaflets to some north-end homes, warning residents to “take action to protect our human rights,” or else “say good-bye to the Nanaimo we know and love,” amid an influx of Asian immigration. The group points to the tight Vancouver housing market, saying those who “sold off” Vancouver “will do the same here.” A number of bus shelter ads were also vandalized with graffiti that seemed to specifically target real estate agents with Chinese sounding names. Police said they have not found a connection between the flyers and the vandalism. The petition was seen as a way to fight back, sending the message most Nanaimo residents don’t agree with that stance — they welcome a society composed of people of mixed cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Copies of the signed petition were forwarded to Mayor Bill McKay and city council, media members, local MLAs and the office of premier Christy Clark. Hadon Fu, an organizer, said he’s satisfied with public response. “The mayor, government and media all showed their support and understanding for this issue, so that’s all we can do,” Fu said.
◆ POLITICS
Pair of cabinet ministers to pay a visit to Nanaimo Local Conservatives will bring two cabinet ministers to Nanaimo this week. Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carlton, will speak at a luncheon hosted by the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Conservative Electoral District Association at the Coast Bastion Inn Thursday at noon. On Friday, Alice Wong, MP for Richmond and the Minister of State for Seniors, will speak at another luncheon, also at the Coast Bastion Inn. Tickets for both events are $20 each and pre-registration is required. For information, call 250-619-7064.
While it’s not clear if any laws have been broken, police want to know who’s responsible, in case public safety is put at risk. The first incident was near the Dover Road 7-Eleven late on the afternoon of May 30, a Saturday. A 19-year-old woman exiting the store noticed a black iPhone in the parking lot. When she retrieved it she saw the image of a man holding his erect penis, his arm covered in tattoos on the screen of the device. She left the phone on the ground.
She told police after she returned to her car that she saw a man in a grey SUV, who had physical features similar to those on the cellphone image, walk over to the cellphone, pick it up and return to his vehicle. A similar incident happened to another woman June 13. The woman, also 19, noticed a man in front of her as she made her way up the stairs from the beach at Invermere Park. When she got to the top of the hill, she too found a black iPhone,
this time with a photo of a naked man. He appeared to be the same man she’d just seen walking in front of her. She also left the phone where it was. “At this point we’re not sure whether it is defined under the Criminal Code as illegal behaviour, but we want to identify this individual,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP. “The last thing we want is a young girl to pick up a phone and be exposed to it, and a lot
of these people are involved in other deviant behaviour, so we want to find him.” The man is white, in his early 30’s with short dark hair spiked into a ‘faux hawk’ at front. Submit tips to Const.

New bylaw sets up $500 fine for those leaving dogs in hot vehicles SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Leaving a dog without proper ventilation in a hot vehicle will soon be a bylaw offense in Nanaimo with a $500 fine. The city’s council voted Monday to give three readings to bylaws amending the city’s animal control regulations to include the new rules, leaving final adoption of the amendment as the only remaining hurdle. The changes for dog care follow a decision by council to study the issue last year, after the Nanaimo & District SPCA and others approached the city about putting in city policy with ‘teeth’ to address the issue. Nanaimo SPCA branch manager Leon Davis had previously told council that the animal welfare agency is inundated with calls every summer from people concerned about dogs being locked in sweltering vehicles. Currently, only designated SPCA constables or police officers can break a car window if he or she believes a dog is in distress from the heat and needs to be removed. But the bylaw changes would allow city bylaw officers or peace officers to give out fines of $500 where there is not enough ventilation or when the internal temperature of a car is more than 23 degrees Celsius. Nanaimo’s animal control service would also impound a dog if the animal was seized. The bylaw changes approved by council Monday also set a ninehour time limit per day on how

long dogs can be tethered and restricts public locations where dogs can tied up. For example, the bylaw change would not allow owners to tether their dogs to a fire hydrant. City staff had recommended council not pursue proposed changes to cat regulations, including cat licensing as well as mandatory spaying or neutering
provision, and instead approve a city-wide public education program to address concerns with cat overpopulation and other issues. That did not sit well with some council members, some of whom asked for more information on the cost and proposed scope of possible cat regulations developed during talks with the
SPCA as requested last February. Coun. Jerry Hong said he would “still like to move city business forward” and gather more information on the topic despite a pending core review later this year. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

Council wraps at 1:25 a.m. after nine hours SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Talk about burning the midnight oil. Nanaimo council wrapped up a marathon committee of the whole meeting Monday that lasted from 4:30 p.m. Monday until 1:25 a.m. Tuesday — an almost nine-hour session punctuated only by a half-hour recess. (See our story on page A1 for more details). Chris Jackson, manager of legislative services for the city, said he believes the duration of Monday’s meeting is a city record. No one he has talked to can recall a longer meeting “in recent memory,” Jackson said.
Now g n i r i H
It was not an unproductive session. Council approved a six-month extension on an option to purchase agreement for the SSS Manhao Hotel project downtown, and also gave the OK to a new system for assessing culture and heritage grants in the city. Council also voted to approve a multi-part motion from Coun. Gord Fuller outlining a new resolution from the city on the Colliery dams. The resolution would commit the city to carry out design work and selection of a contractor by the first quarter of 2017, to allow the city more time to choose a new remediation option.
A copy will be mailed to B.C. water comptroller Glen Davidson, whose office has ordered the city to select a remediation option for the dams and complete construction work by Nov. 15. The city is currently appealing and seeking a stay Davidson’s order through the B.C. Environmental Appeal. The comptroller’s office has asked that the city’s appeal be quashed; the city’s solicitor must send a response in writing this week. Council is set to meet tonight for a special open meeting on the Colliery dams. Council is scheduled to convene the meeting at 5:30 p.m. but there is a motion for council to go in-camera right
away to receive legal advice on the issue. The agenda says the meeting will reconvene in public at 7 p.m. Council took the unusual step in May of having its solicitor Reece Harding give his legal opinion on the city’s chances and strategy to obtain a stay in a public meeting.

Extension equates to ‘better than nothing’
B
oy, they sure showed them, didn’t they? On Monday night, Nanaimo council 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 “decision” follows a 5-4 vote the week before to reject a longer (one-year) extension.
We have to ask the question again: What was the point of not granting the request in the first place? We said last week we wanted a decision that showed the developers (and taxpayers) that our leaders meant business. Instead, they turned all wishy-washy, asked for a staff report on the six-month extension and then (surprise) unanimously approved it on Monday. Is that the “it’s better than nothing” approach? The motion 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. Which brings up the very real question of does anyone actually want to operate the VICC?
We would have settled for a real decision last week and someone taking a weed-eater to the downtrodden property (and removing the torn-up banner). In the end, the project will continue, which is probably the best option, regardless of the waffling and past history of bungling. Perry Ehrlich, lawyer for the developer, said SSS Manhao had spent more than $4 million in preparation for construction. Given it’s highly unlikely there is a giant lineup of companies tripping over themselves to build said hotel, the argument can be made for giving them this chance to proceed. The city is making a concerted effort to improve its dealings with Chinese companies.
Seeing this project to fruition can’t hurt those dealings. As always, the conference centre itself needs the help of a hotel. Having extra people downtown is good for business throughout the community. In the end, we remain in the kind of limbo the city really needs to find its way out of. How many years must we wait for a hotel? How many years must we wait for the foot-passenger ferry? How many years must we wait for a sports an entertainment complex? How many different sets of politicians must we churn through before something actually happens? In the end, as long as this is the
final (no more waffling) extension, it is the proverbial “better than nothing.” How far that nudges the needle forward remains to be seen. The most interesting comment on the issue Monday night may have been from Coun. Bill Yoachim. Yoachim this time supported the extension for the project and said: “What I just hope for is the communication improves . . .” Given the bureaucratic brick walls often hit by developers and business types attempting to work with the city, we hope it does, too. » We want to hear from you.

Tom Fletcher Opinion
I
’ve just spent two weeks viewing events from the opposite side of Canada, in and around St. John’s Newfoundland. It’s the same country, but you wouldn’t know it sometimes. Here on the West Coast, “kayaktivists” paddled around a Shell offshore oil drilling platform being serviced at Seattle, striking poses of resistance for the media from their petroleum-based watercraft. Meanwhile at Bull Arm outside St. John’s, work continues on a massive “gravity-based structure” that will soon be drilling into the Hebron oilfield 350 km offshore. It will have living quarters and drill rig above and a tank with capacity for 1.2 million barrels of crude below.
Offshore oil has turned St. John’s into a boomtown. With one industrial park nearing capacity on the edge of town, a second is under construction. Locals call it “Dannyland,” after its developer, former premier Danny Williams. St. John’s Airport is buzzing with flights back and forth to Edmonton and Fort McMurray, and crew helicopters shuttling back and forth from offshore oil rigs. Tourism is picking up, with a new cross-Canada ad campaign and WestJet starting service to Dublin and London. A foreign supplier won a contract for tankers to bring oil ashore. With no media-connected environmental groups to steer the subject to far-fetched disaster scenarios, debate in the Newfoundland and Labrador legislature turned to concerns about maintaining local employment. Outside the city, parallels with B.C. become evident. Tiny towns struggle to hang on as young people choose opportunity over isolation, and the only expansion is at church graveyards. While cities struggle with high housing and recreational property costs,
homes in remote areas are going for a song. Up north in Labrador, a hydroelectric dam at Muskrat Falls is under construction. Its $8 billion estimated price tag is in the same range as BC Hydro’s Site C project on the Peace River, which will part a sea of protesters and lawyers and move ahead this summer. Nalcor Energy, Newfoundland’s electrical utility, is dipping into contingencies to keep it on time and on budget. Here on the Left Coast, enviros and the Green Party rail against hydro as well as oil and gas, and of course you can’t even mention nuclear. Climate activism proceeds in a logical vacuum in these parts, as it often does in Europe. Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed on to a farcical “carbon free in 85 years” pledge at the G7 meeting in Germany. But hey, it’s an election year, not a time for serious discussion of issues. Imperial Oil’s Kearl oilsands mine at Fort McMurray has started production from its $9 billion second phase, with the help of many Newfoundlanders. Production continues to grow,
heavy oil prices have surged with paving season, and large-scale liquefied natural gas export plans begin to take shape in B.C. With the legislature about to be recalled to endorse the Petronasled LNG export project, Premier Christy Clark has assembled a climate action team with representatives from industry, First Nations, local governments and a couple of professional protesters for good measure. They have an absurdly short deadline to recommend changes to B.C.’s token carbon tax, as gasoline consumption returns to pre-tax levels despite continued high pump prices. In St. John’s, another long, cold winter has finally loosened its grip after piling snow to doorknob levels. Every street in sight is being patched and repainted. The debate about new energy supplies has a more serious tone in Newfoundland. The last elected premier, Kathy Dunderdale, lost her job in the wake of winter power blackouts.

LADYSMITH
Town adopts behaviour policy for its rec facilities ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
The Town of Ladysmith has adopted a new appropriate behaviour policy and code of conduct to be implemented across its recreational facilities. The move comes after the town’s parks, recreation and culture commission conducted a study into the policy and determined an addition was needed to bring it into line more so with similar ones used at the City of Nanaimo, the Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Municipality of North Cowichan. The town has now outlined three rules that must be adhered to at its facilities that read: “I am responsible for and will control my actions at all times or I will leave the facility; I will treat others and this facility with respect; I will interact in this facility in a far and courteous manner.” Failure to comply with the new obligations at places like Frank Jameson
“Basically it was just for us to standardize the process relating to different types of behaviour and to make it more clear for visitors.” Clayton Postings, rec director
Community Centre, Aggie Hall and Forrest Field may result in immediate expulsion or limitations to use the facilities. The obligations were put forward in a recommendation from the parks, recreation and culture department to council on June 1 and a motion was passed unanimously. “Basically it was just for us to standardize the process relating to different types of behaviour and to make it more clear for visitors,” said parks
and rec director Clayton Postings. “It’s to raise awareness of the expected behaviour.” Town staff will work in conjunction with the RCMP to monitor the code of conduct. Postings said the move did not come about as a result of any incident that occurred at one of the town’s facilities. He said that signage will also be installed to make the public aware of the new obligations. “We’ve always had an inappropriate behaviour policy and this addition made sense,” said Postings. “It was part of a review into our policy relating to incidents and it needed updating.” If the code of conduct is breached, staff will ask the individual or group to cease their behaviour and if that continues, they will be asked to leave.

Blaze west of Mt. Benson in mop up stage DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
A fire that flared up west of Mount Benson on the weekend was under control by Tuesday. About 35 people remained to mop up on private forest lands near Boomerang Lake. Originally, heavy smoke made it look much larger than it really was. “Initially, when the aircraft flew over they thought it was sixand-a-half hectares in size,” said Donna MacPherson, fire information officer. On Monday, fire crew members used GPS to get an accurate measurement of 3.3 ha. As of Monday, it was fully per cent contained “and 80 per cent mopped up,” MacPherson said. The fire, in logging slash, was determined to be human caused. It was about 1.5 kilometres west of Boomerang Lake, a small water body about 10.5 kilometres west of Nanaimo. The lake feeds Bonell Creek, which flows into Nanoose Bay. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Company investing $2M into mid-Island mills ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
News of Western Forest Products’ latest investment into the Ladysmith sawmill has been welcomed by the town. The company will invest $2 million across its Ladysmith and Chemainus mills as part of a $125-million capital plan. Specifics of what the fresh investment will go towards were not given by WFP, but
spokeswoman Amy Spencer confirmed further upgrades and modernization will now occur in Ladysmith. The investment coincides with the $28 million to be put into the Duke Point sawmill for the same reason. It is unclear thus far how the $2 million will be split between the mill on Ludlow Road and one in Chemainus. “We have seven mills that we’re constantly upgrading. It’s
all approved in phases,” said Spencer. The mill was closed down back on Dec. 5 and did not re-open until mid January, after the lumber market and need for the product weakened in China. It left 75 employees without pay over the Christmas period. Spencer said the mill has been “doing well” ever since. Mayor Aaron Stone spoke of his delight with the company’s

ot everyone learns the same way. Traditionally schools have favoured the ‘intellectual’ style of information processing, such as book reading and comprehending theory. Leading with the mind, as it were. However, many people do better with an ‘applied’ learning approach. These are the kids who unscrew light covers at age four, or rip apart their toy wagons to see how the wheel fits on with those nuts and washers. People who learn by doing, often find school a challenge. It’s boring and they can find sitting still for hours, pure torture. Fortunately Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district students in Grades 11 and 12 are now being offered an alternative to traditional learning methods. Careers Training Centre is located on Nanaimo District Secondary School grounds, just behind the main building. Currently students are working on carpentry and framing certification. Projects include storage sheds that dismantle. These are sold and reassembled on site complete with a foundation. Other community projects have been a foundation for Lantzville Fire Hall’s sign. Decorative raised planter beds were included with this project. CTC students also constructed stairs for a stage set at Ladysmith Secondary School. Interested students apply in Grade 11 for Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training or ACE-IT programs. Two amaz-

ing features of this education choice are first, earning duo credits both in university and high school at the same time. One course, double bang for the buck. Second, speaking of bucks, ACE-IT students get the entire first year of post-secondary education courses entirely free. All tuition costs are paid for by the school district. In total, 13 trade and technical courses are offered, such as electrician, baking, hairdressing, welding, carpentry and framing and applied business technology. Some of these trades require a second year for full accreditation, others do not. By graduation, you can be a ticketed trades person, ready to work and without crippling debt. Many students are thrilled with the opportunity. “It’s better than school,” said CTC student Jayson Sumili. His friend Anthony Nightingale agreed. “Love this program,” said Nightingale. “I get to do what I do best.”
Other students pointed to not being cooped up, having way more freedom and working on real projects as why the program worked for them. Recently CTC campuses received multiple thousands of dollars in donations from private beneficiaries. This was primarily in the form of equipment to help get courses up and running. Vice-principal Derek Bestone feels ACE-IT programs are ideal for hands on learners. He envisions an entire house being acquired by the campus to teach renovations. Instructor Martin Pakosz is equally enthusiastic about the opportunities offered to students. “Trades are really important,” said Pakosz. “Just because you’re in trade doesn’t mean you don’t need an education too.” Student Ashton Walker explained just how vital the program is for him. “I wouldn’t be in school otherwise” he said. “I like the hands on. It keeps me out of trouble.” Worledgedm@gmail.com
ome bad news for parents and community of Departure Bay Eco-School recently with the release of the new facilities plan. Departure Bay Elementary School had originally been slated to close somewhere between 2018 and 2023 in the original plan (once expansion of Cilaire Elementary School was completed). However, the new plan accelerates the closure date to 2016. Students will be assigned to Frank J. Ney, Rock City or Cilaire Schools. It is a shame when staff and parents have been working so hard to develop the new ecoschool concept and the school recently received approval from the school board for charter school status to become an Eco Academy. At this time it is not clear if the eco-school would be able to continue elsewhere. One idea is to move it to Cilaire Elementary, but, as residents of Departure Bay know, access to the beach is steep and limited from there. Also, there is not the wealth of parks and wooded areas as close to the school as there is in the Departure Bay neighbourhood. Currently, students make use of Woodstream Park and Departure Creek, Wardropper Park, Sugarloaf Mountain and their own extensive grounds for out of classroom experiences. There is still time to express opinions on the plans as they are still under review. Anyone interested in checking out the new facilities plan can find it at www.sd68.bc.ca/?p=3123. Parents at the school have also developed a Facebook page SAVE Departure Bay Eco School! where information is posted regularly. There is also a Twitter account @save_dep_bay.

Canadian aid for Ukraine to arrive as tensions heighten

Mobilicity about to take buyout offer: Sources
Soldiers to get there just as Harper government prepares to do electoral battle MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS
KYIV, Ukraine — It will be the middle of summer at the earliest before the Canadian military fields its military training mission to Ukraine, which is likely to play out against a backdrop of escalating violence in breakaway eastern regions. Canadian soldiers will also hit the ground just as the Harper government prepares to do electoral battle on the campaign trail at home in advance of an Oct. 19 vote. The plan to send 200 troops for nearly two years to help strengthen the Ukrainian Army was announced with much political fanfare in mid-April, yet specifics on how the two-year mission will unfold have yet to be worked out. A planning team sent to iron out the plans arrived only recently, and it could very well be August by the time the contingent is in place, said a senior defence source, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss details publicly. Lauren Armstrong, a spokeswoman for Defence Minister Jason Kenney, would only say that “reconnaissance work is ongoing and the training of Ukrainian military personnel will begin later this summer.” The U.S. and Britain, meanwhile, have their programs up

and running at the Yavoriv training centre, in the far western region along the Polish border. There was no explanation from the Department of National Defence about the delay. Kenney said in April that the Canadians would be far away from the fighting, which intensified over the weekend in the embattled Donetsk and Mariupol regions. The U.S.-led training regime takes presumably battle-hardened national guard units off the
line where they’ve been fighting Russian-backed separatists and puts them through remedial basic military training. The plan is to instruct up to six battalions. The U.S. is hoping the program will train more than 700 troops every six months. Canadians, according to one published report, could very well be tasked with focusing on strengthening the cadre of non-commissioned officers, who are considered the backbone of western armies.
The intent is to shake the Ukrainians out of the rigid, old Soviet-era Red Army mindset, which relied heavily on officers calling the shots, rather than sergeants and corporals, who are closer to the fighting. The regular army, after years of cuts and neglect, found itself outmatched and out-foxed by separatists at the beginning of the campaign last year, in the aftermath of the Russian annexation of Crimea. That forced the government to reinstate conscription in 2014, deploy national guard units and rely heavily on volunteer battalions, including extreme nationalists. Many of the national guardsmen were sent to the front with only two months training, and are now being put through three two-month back-to-back courses. The U.S. explicitly stated this week it would not train volunteer groups such as the notorious Azov Battalion. The drilling and exercise is taking place against the backdrop of a crumbling ceasefire brokered last winter. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which monitors events in the war-torn regions, reported the presence of heavy weapons in zones along the contested front. Shelling has picked up along with ceasefire violations, the OSCE wrote in its latest report, released this week.

Court seals gun registry data over legal battle BRUCE CHEADLE THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A bitter legal battle between the Conservative government, the RCMP and the federal information commissioner over the right of Canadians to access government records has arrived at a legal standoff that may not be resolved before this October’s election. The Mounties on Tuesday delivered an external hard drive containing a complete set of Quebec long-gun registry records to the Federal Court, in compliance with an emergency court order. By preserving a copy of the only remaining records from the long-defunct gun registry, the court helped ease the immediate urgency behind the legal challenges — and thus set the stage for a potentially lengthy constitutional fight.

“Without such an order, the information could have been destroyed following the coming into force of Division 18 of Bill C-59.” Suzanne Legault, Information Commissioner
“This order is an essential milestone to protect the rights conferred by the Access to Information Act until the end of the proceedings,” information commissioner Suzanne Legault said in a statement. “Without such an order, the information could have been destroyed following the coming into force of Division 18 of Bill C-59.”
It wasn’t the only significant development Tuesday. Legault is also launching a charter challenge to elements of Bill C-59, the Conservative omnibus budget bill that formally became the law of the land Tuesday. What is at stake, she says, is the quasi-constitutional right of Canadians to access government documents. There’s also the “perilous precedent” of allowing the RCMP and the government to simply ignore the jurisdiction of independent officers of Parliament, and to retroactively rewrite that officer’s powers when they are called out for breaches of the law. Bill C-59 rewrites the way the Access to Information Act applies to the old gun registry, removing Legault’s jurisdiction and granting immunity, retroactively, to anyone who broke the
Struggling wireless company Mobilicity has accepted a buyout offer, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. The source refused to identify the purchasing company or provide any other details, including the price. The Globe and Mail, citing three unnamed sources it said were familiar with the negotiations, reported late Tuesday that Mobilicity has accepted an offer from Rogers Communications. The newspaper reported that the bid is worth more than $400 million, according to two sources. Representatives of Mobilicity are expected to be in Ontario Superior Court today to seek approval for the deal. After that, it would require the approval of the federal government.

Couple wanted in killing charged with murder A couple wanted in the killing of a Toronto-area man faced first-degree murder charges Tuesday after a two-week hunt that sparked reports of sightings across Canada. Clyde Marshall, formerly of New Brunswick, and Sabrina Chouart of Gatineau, Que., are accused in the death of Sina Parsi, 32, of Vaughan, Ont., who disappeared after a soccer game on June 9. Investigators said they arrested the pair Monday evening in Niagara Falls, Ont. Police investigating Parsi’s disappearance had said the situation was “less than normal.” They found his black Dodge Ram pickup truck two days later at a Tim Hortons parking lot in Toronto’s west end. His wallet was found nearby.

old law as it applied to registry documents. The charter challenge, however, never got off the ground Tuesday before Ontario Superior Court Judge Charles Hackland punted the whole mess off to a three-judge Divisional Court panel — after flatly stating he was not prepared to intercede on a piece of national legislation. “Surely a three-judge panel should deal with a matter as important as you have raised,” Hackland told Legault’s lawyer Richard Dearden. The Quebec government welcomed the preservation of the records, but said it will go ahead with its own registry whether or not it sees the old, sealed data. “We will not wait for this data before tabling our bill this fall,” said Jean-Philippe Guay, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Lise Theriault.
Mulcair say sovereignty would hurt middle class Federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair criticized Quebec sovereignty on Tuesday but also brandished the nationalist card by promising Quebecers a special status in Canada if his party forms the government in this fall’s election. Quebec separating from Canada would hurt the middle class, Mulcair told reporters after a visit to a Quebec City microbrewery one day before today’s Fete nationale, a celebration often used by sovereigntists to rally support for their cause. Mulcair, environment minister under a previous Quebec Liberal government, reminded reporters of his party’s so-called Sherbrooke Declaration of 2005, a document that stated Quebec should be granted “specific powers and room for manoeuvring.”

Many begin to question flying Confederate flag
Alberta minister plays down announcement
Charleston, S.C., shootings spark efforts to remove symbol
WINNIPEG — Alberta is still consulting on its much-anticipated new climate strategy just days before a major announcement on it is expected. “We are going to be talking with industry over the coming weeks on exactly what our framework looks like,” said Shannon Phillips, speaking at a meeting of provincial environment ministers in Winnipeg. “We have not yet completed those consultations.” Alberta’s recently elected New Democrat government has promised an announcement on a new strategy to fight climate change by the end of the month. The timing coincides with the expiration of the province’s Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, which lays out the rules for its carbon-pricing scheme. Phillips confirmed Tuesday that rule will be extended. “We are renewing the regulations before they expire at the end of June,” she said. However, she wouldn’t say if the coming announcement would contain new rules for greenhouse gas emissions from the oilsands. “We are going to be talking with industry over the coming weeks on exactly what our framework looks like.

BILL BARROW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Calls to remove Confederate imagery from public places multiplied rapidly across the South and beyond Tuesday, with opponents eyeing state flags, license plates and statues of Civil War politicians and generals. The startling movement, driven by the killing of nine black churchgoers at the hands of a white gunman in Charleston, South Carolina, has made converts of politicians who have long supported or stood silent on such symbols. Many of the efforts appear to have the muscle to succeed. Statehouse displays such as the Confederate battle flag flying in South Carolina are coming under the heaviest fire. But the familiar banner, with its star-studded blue ‘X’ overlaying a field of red, is just one of scores, if not hundreds, of state-sanctioned displays that honour the vanquished Confederacy and the era of Jim Crow segregation that lasted for more than a century after the end of the Civil War. The homages — from veterans’ memorials and statues of politicians to counties, streets, government buildings and public schools named for Confederate figures and subsequent white supremacists — haven’t always generated the same political and social tensions as the battle flag, and Confederate heritage groups say the outcry is misplaced, despite widely seen images of the church shooting suspect, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, holding the rebel flag. At the least, however, the flag and other tributes remain a constant reminder of the nation’s perpetual struggle with race, and of some Southerners’ defiance of the federal government’s efforts on civil rights. “Statues and monuments aren’t history,” said Stan Deaton, a

historian for the Georgia Historical Society. “They are what we choose to tell future generations about the past . . . . It’s a very delicate subject, and let’s not kid ourselves: So much of it has to do with race.” In Kentucky, the Republican candidate for governor, Matt Bevin, and U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis should be removed from the Capitol rotunda, where it sits just feet from a statue of Abraham Lincoln, whose election spurred the South’s secession. Both men were born in Kentucky, a border state during the Civil War. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, said he wanted the state to stop issuing a vanity license plate for the Sons of Confederate Veterans that includes the battle flag. In Tennessee, Republican Gov. Bill Haslam and lawmakers of both parties called for remov-
ing a Capitol grounds bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader. The longest-serving black legislator in Alabama said he plans to introduce a resolution that would remove the banners from a 27-metre-tall Confederate veterans’ monument outside the Capitol. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s office said the city should consider changes to several monuments, including a prominent statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee near downtown, as the city prepares to celebrate the 300th anniversary of its founding. There were signs that the tension was spilling beyond the political realm. Vandals have tagged several monuments in recent days, including a Charleston statue of John C. Calhoun, a strong defender of slavery and secession before the war.

Feds to award ship contract THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Quebec’s Davie Shipyard is a step closer to winning a long-sought federal shipbuilding contract but Defence Minister Jason Kenney warned Tuesday that talks between the two sides aren’t over yet. Kenney said in hopes of speeding up the process of procuring a temporary supply ship for the Royal Canadian Navy, the government is skipping an open call for tenders and _ for now — looking only at Davie.
The plan would be to retrofit an existing vessel to “bridge the gap’’ until the government’s joint support ships are operational in 2021, Kenney said in Ottawa. `”This is good news for (Davie workers) because it’s an indication of the intention of the government to sign a potential contract with the Davie Shipyard,’’ he said. Kenney said Davie’s proposal to retrofit the vessel is incomplete, meaning more discussions are needed between the shipyard and the government.
Cancer society says winner of federal election must focus on end-of-life care KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Canadian Cancer Society is calling on the next federal government to take action on of end-of-life care. The group is releasing an election-campaign platform today that calls on the winner of the federal election this October to promptly introduce legislation to establish a comprehensive national palliative care strategy. Pamela Fralick, the society’s president and CEO, calls it an urgent issue following the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision on doctor-assisted death earlier this year. In February, the court said the prohibition on physician-assisted dying
infringes the right to life, liberty and security of the person in a way that is not in accordance with fundamental justice. “It really highlights how urgent the need is,” Fralick said in an interview. “The demands on the country for palliative care are immense and unmet in many, many areas.” All parties should acknowledge the need for a co-ordinated approach on the issue, she added. “We believe that we need a national strategy on palliative care that assures a minimum of services provided,” Fralick said. “If you look at it from an economic perspective, it is far less expensive to provide community support, home support, than it is to die in a hospital.”
The organization also wants the federal government to bolster tobacco control efforts by rolling out measures such as plain packaging rules. Although there has been a dramatic decline in the number of Canadians who smoke, the organization said there still about 5.4 million smokers. “I think a lot of Canadians feel smoking is done,” Fralick said. “It is still our number one cause of cancer-related death so tobacco is a big issue. It isn’t done by any means.” The society said Canada’s current tobacco control strategy was created 15 years ago with a budget of $110 million annually, but the current investment has been slashed to barely a third of that amount.

Two South Koreans sentenced to life in N. Korea on spy claims
Greece’s government on Tuesday defended the billions worth of “harsh” new budget savings it has offered in talks with creditors, as some of the party’s own lawmakers spoke out against them. Greece has proposed measures worth 8 billion euros ($9 billion), including increases to company and consumer taxes, to persuade the country’s bailout creditors to release new loans it needs to avoid defaulting on its debts next week. The government is also under pressure from other left wing parties and trade unions.
A balcony that snapped off an apartment building and led to the deaths of six college students was supported by wooden beams that had been badly rotted by exposure to moisture, building inspectors in Berkeley, California, said Tuesday. In a summary of the city’s investigation, officials stopped short of blaming the rotten beams for the accident last week. Planning director Eric Angstadt said Berkeley inspectors were not responsible for determining why the concrete and wood structure collapsed and that no further analysis was planned. by the city.
North Korea’s Supreme Court on Tuesday sentenced two South Koreans to life in prison with labour after finding them guilty of spying for Seoul.

Q: A:
I am getting implants on a lower denture and my dentist said I could get fixed or removable. What is the difference between the two types? A removable denture over implants snaps into place and can be detached for cleaning by a patient, while a fixed denture is screwed into place and can only be removed by a dentist. When deciding between the two many factors need to be considered such as the quality of your bone, your personal budget and your level of dental hygiene. Removable dentures over implants provide a cheaper option for patients who might not otherwise be Darren Hoffman able to afford implanted dentures, requiring only 2 implants and gives a more secure fit. For individuals where there has been significant bone loss the removable implanted denture can be designed to compensate for lost tissue, filling out the face and improving aesthetics. However, a fixed denture over implants provides the securest fit and can actually help preserve your existing bone and ridge, but it requires 4 to 5 implants and is therefore more costly. Since fixed dentures can only be removed by your dentist, you must thoroughly clean around the implants and see a dental hygienist regularly to avoid infection which could cause the implants to fail. Whether you choose fixed or removable, dental implants have been a great development for many edentulous patients, providing greater retention, better function and increased self-confidence.

The purpose of the CMA is to analyze Tim Wait data from properties similar to the subject property Realtor that has been sold recently in order to project the realistic price at which the subject property would sell. I’m not an appraiser, but what I’ve always done is make upward and downward adjustments to the projected value of the subject property based on features and characteristics of the comparables I use. Some are based on “gut” feelings while other adjustments come about through rules of thumb I have developed from experience.

Is it necessary to claim all personal assets during bankruptcy? I have some heirloom jewellery which belongs to my family. Could this be transferred to my daughter? All assets to which an individual may have an interest must be disclosed to the trustee in a bankruptcy. This even includes assets which may be exempt from seizure under the Court Order Enforcement Act, such as household goods, Gareth F. Slocombe tools of the trade etc. C.A., C.I.R.P. With respect to jewellery, this type of asset is not Trustee exempt in a bankruptcy and must therefore be realized on by the trustee. In most cases the trustee would likely be willing to accept payments from the bankrupt, or possibly a family member, for the estimated value of the jewellery instead of being required to actually sell the items. A pawn shop or liquidation estimate of the jewellery can normally be used to determine a realizable value. A transfer of the jewellery to a family member, for purposes of keeping it out of the bankruptcy, could be reversed by the trustee and may also delay or prevent the bankrupt from receiving an absolute order of discharge from bankruptcy.

What should I know about mortgage payments and interest rates? The impact of increasing mortgage payments Accelerating the repayment of debt is an important goal of many Canadians. One way to achieve this goal is to increase the size of your mortgage
payment. Increasing the amount of your payment will automatically reduce your principal balance, which in turn, decreases the amount you’ll have to pay in interest. The end result, you become mortgage free sooner. The impact changing interest rates have on mortgage Bettina Plendl payments Consultant When determining how much house you can afford people often look at how much they have available for a down payment and what their mortgage payments will be. But it’s also important to take into account whether or not you can afford your mortgage payments if rates were to increase when it comes time to renew.

Your pharmacist can review your medications and produce a document with information for you to take on your trip. Also compile a list of your doctor’s and pharmacist’s phone number as well as any health insurance information. Keep your medications in their original pharmacy labelled bottles, particularly if you are travelling to David Duncan another country. Don’t put your medications in checked luggage. B.SC.

If you are flying are you crossing more than two time zones which might affect when you would take your insulin and the amount of insulin you would inject? Do any of your medications make you more sensitive to sunlight? Also, make sure your medications are stored away from direct sunlight or high heat. It is also a good idea to put together a travel first aid kit. Products you may consider including are pain killers, antihistamines, medications for motion sickness and nausea, medications for diarrhea, antibacterial cream for cuts, insect bites and burns, and anti-infective ear drops for a bacterial infection in the ear (swimmer’s ear) and a good sunscreen. Talk to your pharmacist as they can also help you gather dressings for wound care or other minor ailments. Lastly, have a safe journey and lots of fun!

Furlong loses cool during questioning Accuses lawyer of sullying the reputation of his late wife LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Former Vancouver Olympics CEO John Furlong raised his voice and angrily thumped his fist during testimony as he defended himself at a B.C. Supreme Court defamation trial on Tuesday. During fiery cross-examination, Furlong accused lawyer Bryan Baynham — who is representing freelance journalist Laura Robinson — of sullying his deceased wife’s reputation. Robinson is suing Furlong for comments he made after she wrote an article that included affidavits from eight former First Nations students alleging he physically and verbally abused them at a Roman Catholic school in northern B.C. about 45 years ago. Baynham suggested Furlong lied when he testified that Deborah Furlong drove around on the morning the story was published in September 2012 and grabbed as many Georgia Straight newspapers as she could. “How dare you sully her reputation and her life like that? I gave you exactly what she did,” Furlong shot back. “She was totally distraught.” Furlong has testified that the allegations contained in the article are “absolutely not true.” He said the stress forced him and his wife to flee to Ireland, where she died in a car crash in 2013. At a news conference the day the article was published, Furlong accused Robinson of a

“shocking lack of diligence” and “inaccurate reporting.” Baynham read emails in court that showed Furlong retained a lawyer, Marvin Storrow, in April 2012 to handle Robinson’s requests. Through Storrow, he declined an interview and refused to answer specific questions. The former Olympics boss testified he sent Robinson an emailed statement denying the allegations, and it was her responsibility to ensure the accusers were telling the truth before publishing. Ken Shields, Canada’s former national basketball coach, testified in Furlong’s defence on Tuesday. He told the court he was “devastated” when Robinson wrote a front-page Globe and Mail article in 1994 that implied
he had chosen white players over black players. “It was just a horrendous experience,” he said, calling it the “low point” of his life. “To have those allegations levelled against me was sickening. Absolutely sickening.” Shields said the Globe ran a retraction that was “two inches by two inches,” and an independent inquiry found no basis for the allegations. But he added: “It’s never all over.” He denied Baynham’s suggestion while under cross-examination that Robinson’s article was about systemic racism, pointing out that he was in charge of the national team at the time. Shields testified that after Robinson’s article about Furlong came out, he called the former Olympics CEO — who he had known for more than two decades — to express his sympathy and offer to testify if he ever got the chance. “I said to him that I couldn’t even relate to how devastating it must be for him, for John, because the allegations were so much more awful,” said Shields. Rusty Goepel, a former director of the Vancouver Olympics bid and later the chair of the organizing committee, also testified on Furlong’s behalf. He said that he received a call from Robinson in spring 2012. She “aggressively questioned” him about what he knew of Furlong’s past and “basically accused him of abusing children,” he said.

Police commission won’t look at mayor complaint
B.C. firefighters off to battle Yukon flames
British Columbia’s police complaint commissioner has decided not to investigate accusations made by Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell about the conduct of municipal officers. Atwell made headlines when he questioned spyware on his work computer and alleged he was stopped four times on suspicion of drunk driving. Atwell also said he would ask the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner to investigate how details of a domestic dispute became public and were released to a Victoria newspaper. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham sided with Atwell in March over the spyware, ruling the municipality violated privacy rights.
Thirty-one firefighters from British Columbia were expected to arrive in Whitehorse Tuesday night to help bolster the territory’s wildfire-suppression efforts. The Ministry of Forests says the B.C. firefighters included 10 three-person, initial-attack crews and a representative of the Wildfire Management Branch. Yukon’s request for assistance was made through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which co-ordinates resources between provinces and territories. The ministry says the jurisdiction that requests the assistance bears the costs, and enough resources remain in the province to fight B.C. fires.

Breast implant fraud leads to jail, restitution
Legislature reconvening to tackle new LNG law
A Kamloops woman who defrauded an elderly man to pay for cosmetic surgery including breast implants has been sentenced to nine months in jail and must return over $17,000 in cash, including interest. Thirty-nine-year-old Brandie Bloor has another five months left behind bars after time already served, along with two years’ probation. Bloor pleaded guilty to fraud over $5,000 and identity theft in what the Crown described as a “crime of vanity and greed.” Police have said they began investigating after an 83-year-old man received a letter from a loan company. It said he was behind on payments after borrowing $15,000 for breast implants, a tummy tuck and liposuction.
British Columbia’s politicians are heading back to the legislature next month to debate legislation that would pave the way for a $36-billion liquefied natural gas plant near Prince Rupert. House leader Mike de Jong says the session is set to resume July 13 to debate legislation that enables a project development agreement between B.C. and a proposed LNG project. The Lelu Island project still needs federal environmental approval as the province continues talks with area First Nations over concerns about possible harm to salmon habitats. De Jong suggests it will take more than a week to pass the LNG-enabing law. The province has already passed LNG laws on income tax and emission standards.

GLOBAL POLITICS
Washington tries to avoid tension in various disagreements with China MATTHEW PENNINGTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The United States voiced deep concern Tuesday over state-sponsored cybertheft and tension in the disputed seas of East Asia but did not let the sharp disagreements with China on pressing security issues cloud the outlook for co-operation between the world powers. At high-level talks in Washington, China was intent on setting a positive tone ahead of a White House visit this fall by President Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader has sought deeper relations with the United States, as his nation’s economic and military clout grows. The sprawling agenda
“This relationship is just too important. Not only do we depend on it, but the world depends on our mutual success.” Joe Biden, U.S. vice president
of the two-day U.S.-China Security and Economic Dialogue that began here Tuesday reflects the growing depth of the relationship despite the emerging rivalry between Washington and Beijing. Few major outcomes were expected, although U.S. officials touted “remarkable” progress in climate change co-operation over the past year.
Using well-worn exhortations to China, Vice-President Joe Biden urged it to be a “responsible stakeholder” in the international system. In an opening statement, Biden acknowledged that there will be intense disagreements between the U.S. and China, but added: “This relationship is just too important. Not only do we depend on it, but the world depends on our mutual success.” Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong said the two countries can keep bilateral relations on the right track so long as they “respect and accommodate each other’s core interests.” The U.S. and China are co-operating on a growing array of issues, like Iran’s
nuclear program, Afghanistan and global pandemics such as Ebola. But they remain at odds on human rights, religious freedom and Xi’s crackdown on domestic dissent. The Obama administration has stopped short of publicly blaming the break-in on China, which has denied involvement, although Congress has squarely blamed China. A major focus of Tuesday’s discussions was expanding co-operation on combating climate change and renewable energy sources, a bright spot in the U.S.-China relationship, after President Barack Obama and Xi met in Beijing in November and made a joint announcement on curbing emissions.
Dementia may be an issue with father Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My father is starting to have trouble managing his banking. He has a decent fixed income, but somehow, he is now living from one cheque to the next and he’s getting costly overdrawn notices. I have started to write out his bills, and I try to keep his chequebook balanced. Last week, I went to the bank with him for the first time. He could not remember his account number. He knew nothing about how much was in his account and it was obvious that the tellers were aware of this. They called him by name, trying to help him. When he finished his depositing a cheque, he tipped the teller $30. He said he tips them all the time because they help him. Annie, I know he makes withdrawals every Friday to “make it through the weekend,” but I didn’t realize he was tipping the tellers. Is this permitted? I had no idea tellers could accept tips.

My father doesn’t have a great deal of money and my brother and I often help him out so he can balance his chequebook. How should we handle this? — Senior Banking Issues Dear Banking: We don’t know what bank your father patronizes, but every bank we checked said that tipping is absolutely not permitted. Your father obviously has some memory issues and unless the bank tellers are depositing those tips back into Dad’s account, they are taking advantage of him. Complain to their supervisors. And if Dad is living cheque-to-cheque, it sounds as though it is time for someone else to manage his banking. Discuss this with your brother, so there are no arguments, and then
approach Dad, explaining that you want to be sure his money lasts. Make him a part of the process. It would be best if you could limit how often he goes to the bank, so have his cheques deposited automatically and give him a weekly allowance in cash. We know it’s extra work for you, but this is what responsible, caring children do for their parents. Dad should be evaluated by his physician for signs of dementia, and if he is living alone, you might start looking into retirement communities that will provide a safe environment, as well as companionship, conversation and community. Dear Annie: I read the responses to “Expecting,”
who was asked thoughtless and intrusive questions about her pregnancy. I once asked a friend something unintentionally rude and he responded to me by asking, “What did you say?” I repeated my question and he again asked, “What did you say?” It took a third time before I caught on that he wasn’t hard of hearing. I actually appreciated the polite comeuppance and got a good laugh out of it. That kind of response would really pull a person up short if they asked something that was none of their business. — N.N. Dear N.N.: Thanks for providing a polite but effective way to avoid answering personal, intrusive questions.

surveyor aligned the pyramid to the “true north” rather than the magnetic north. (True north is the point of entry in the Arctic Ocean for the axis around which the Earth spins. Magnetic north depends on the shifting magnetic lines of the Earth.) The direction was then checked by an astronomer who adjusted the foundation to accurately align with the North Star. The walls of the structure were built so as to not contain any ferrous metals which might reorient the pyramid back to magnetic north. Summerhill’s sparkling wines and still wines are aged 30 to 90 days in the pyramid. It may sound unusual, but comparative wine tastings have proved, to the Cipes’ satisfaction, that something good is happening in that pyramid. The same wine, bottled at the same temperature and the
same day, was divided into two test groups. One batch was stored in the pyramid for 30 to 90 days. The other was aged conventionally, outside the pyramid. The results were astonishing. The tasters almost always unanimously picked the pyramid-aged wine as smoother, better-tasting and with a fuller aroma. Pairing with renowned wine maker Eric Von Krosigk, Summer Hill Pyramid Winery was established in 1991. Eric, who has 30-plus years of growing grapes, brought his expertise and knowledge to create many award-winning wines. The winery has not only achieved organic status, but is Demeter Biodynamic certificated, a top international organic certification that is difficult to reach and verifies
that the biodynamic products and their farms meet demanding international standards of ecologically sound production and processing. Using sustainable practices and a co-operative approach with nature, Summer Hill is producing deep and flavourful wines from these biodynamic viticultural practices. The resulting eco system creates a unique relationship between vines and the soils they grow in. Join us at Lucky’s Liquor Store at Country Club Centre in Nanaimo on Thursday, June 25 at 7 p.m. as we taste some of Summerhill’s organic and delicious pyramid-aged wines. Tickets are limited and on sale at the store for $30 plus GST. For more information check out our website at www.luckysliquor.ca or find us on Facebook.

Cookbook offers a modern take on traditions of preserving at home THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Amy Bronee’s goal was to blend the traditions of home preserving with the tastes of the modern home cook. While canning never went away in rural areas, it is growing as a craft in urban centres, with people eager to buy local food at farmers markets and preserve the bounty to eat during the cold winter months. “The farmers markets are coming into the cities and people want to buy a flat of strawberries, but then they don’t want to make a whole lot because they don’t have a lot of storage, they don’t have a lot of room to store all the gear,” Bronee said during a recent visit to Toronto to promote her new book, The Canning Kitchen: 101 Simple Small Batch Recipes (Penguin). “They don’t have a huge kitchen and so being able to make half a dozen jars at a time is more accessible, I think, to people.” Bronee, 38, has included classics like strawberry jam and dill pickles in the book, but she also developed recipes to entice people who have canned before and want to go in a new

direction. As a blogger of Family Feedbag since 2011 she takes note of flavour trends and has incorporated into “The Canning Kitchen” some that might not have made it into print in a canning book a decade ago, such as Salted Caramel Pear Butter and Garlic, Rosemary and Apple Jelly. She introduces international flavours, another different direction for canning in this country. There are nods to south Asia with Sweet Thai Chili Chutney with lemon grass while Peach Chutney Garam Masala complements curries. Those who love Mexican food will want to try Tangy Tomatillo Salsa Verde, delicious with tacos and encha-
ladas or scooped with crunchy tortilla chips. “We are taking the tradition of canning and reshaping it and presenting it in a way that addresses modern tastes and the modern home cook,” said Bronee. “I think that’s how people eat nowadays. And I didn’t want the book to have this old country bumpkin feel which I think canning has held for a long time. But with the sort of urban hipster, urban locavore way that we eat now I think it needed to have a little bit more of an update.” In her canning classes she finds people like to share stories about their grandmother’s pickles or picking strawberries for the best jam ever, which she used to do with her father growing up in Ottawa. He made chili sauce, and his strawberry freezer jam “was just the best thing you could taste.” Her husband and two sons, aged seven and four, love crunchy dill pickles, and she makes at least 40 jars a year with cucumbers grown in their backyard. “Pickles are memories and tradition and childhood all
wrapped up into one and you just need that first bite to bring it all back.” Current guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Centre for Home Food Preservation say if you process filled jars for 10 minutes or longer in a boiling water bath canner you don’t need to pre-sterilize jars. After spotlessly clean jars are filled, put the lids on and then process them in boiling water in a large pot with a lid and rack. The high temperature kills off yeast, moulds or bacteria in the jar while the contents expand, driving out air. “And then when you take them out the contents contract. It creates that vacuum seal that you want so that no new micro-organisms get in to spoil the food, so it’s shelf stable.” Bronee says common mistakes include altering the amount of sugar or pectin called for in a recipe and not boiling the mixture long enough. Don’t reduce the amount of sugar, she cautions. Recipes are carefully balanced and reducing the sugar will lead to the jam not setting.

hen Stephen and Wendy Cipes realized their dream and purchased their Kelowna winery in 1986, they had a clear vision of making organic wines. However, their vision of natural and organic went far beyond conventional standards. They believe — backed by tasting tests — that wines aged through principles developed by ancient civilizations can create a better, more delicious end product than the same wine aged by normal contemporary means. To that end, Cipes built a pyramid at his vineyard that would encourage pure energy fields, in turn providing better clarification of Summerhill wines stored in the pyramid. Flaws in the wine would be magnified and that wine easily culled. Good quality wines, however, would be much enhanced, created a better, more deliciously flavoured product. Sticking closely to ancient pyramid building methods, a building site was selected with no interfering energies such as underground gas lines, streams or electrical current exposure. The earth was compacted to 100 per cent. One ancient Egyptian pyramid-building principle had to do with directional orientation. In this case, the base laid by a

his month, the Minister of Health announced that the Nutrition Labelling Regulations for Canada are having an overhaul. The proposed changes to the Nutrition Facts Table include: • Enlarging the serving size information and setting standardized serving sizes for foods to make comparison of products easier; • Enlarging and underlining the number of calories per serving in bold; • Grouping nutrients that provide calories under the Calories heading; • Adding a percentage daily value for Sugars instead of the one for carbohydrates; • Moving Sodium value to the bottom closer to the Potassium value because both nutrients are related to blood pressure; • Adding a line for Potassium content while deleting the Vitamin A and Vitamin C content of the product; • Stating the Quick Rule for per cent Daily Value at the bottom of the Nutrition Facts Table. This rule says that five per cent or less is a little and 15 per cent or more is a lot when using the per cent daily value to consider nutrient content. There are also proposed changes to the ingredient lists. These lists must now be printed in black on a white background. In the past, black print could be on dark coloured backgrounds making the list almost impossible to read. The ingredients are listed from most to least so that consumers can tell what foods are in the highest proportion in the product. One of the proposed changes is to have all sugars on the ingredient list grouped together. In the past, manufacturers would add many different sugars such as glucose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses and many more names so that no one type of sugar would appear near the top of the ingredient list. This was to deceive consumers by hiding many different sugars lower down on the list. If sugar is the first ingredient, those who read the label might choose not to use that product. Now, all of the sugars must be grouped together so highly sweetened foods would show sugar near or at the top of the list meaning there is more sugar than any other ingredient. A final change to the ingredient list is that all food colouring agents must be included by their common names. The proposed changes came from consultations with more than 10,000 Canadians including parents, consumers, health organizations and the food industry which were held throughout 2014. Following the release of the proposed changes there will be a 75-day comment period ending on Aug. 26,. All Canadians are invited to read about the proposed changes on Canada Gazette, Part 1 (June 13, 2015) and send comments to Health Canada at nutrition@ hc-sc.gc.ca.

Dan Marshall named BCHL’s top broadcaster
Nanaimo’s Ramage gets a Pan Am nod
DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo Clippers play-byplay man Dan Marshall has been named as the B.C. Hockey League’s top broadcaster for 2014-15, the league announced Tuesday. Marshall’s award was his second in the past four years. In addition to calling all Clippers regular season and playoff games — 81 nights last season — Marshall hosts a Monday night program covering the Clippers and the BCHL on Nanaimo’s 106.9 The Wolf. He also produced Clippers player features and handled play-by-play work for Shaw TV Nanaimo. A 15-year BCHL broadcasting veteran and a native of Coquitlam, Marshall was chosen following a poll of broadcasters around the league. “It’s one of the most memorable seasons I’ve had,” Marshall said in a media release. “There were two Game 7s in the playoffs plus getting to call the finals. “The BCHL broadcasters as a group are a bunch of guys I respect; any time your peers are able to recognize you, it means a lot.” League communications director Brent Mutis said during Marshall’s tenure he has achieved a

level of play-by-play proficiency not reached by many broadcasters as his distinctive and thorough style brings listeners into the game. “Dan’s an extremely talented person and he’s excellent at what he does,” Mutis said. “But beyond that, he puts in the effort to make sure he’s always prepared for the job at hand. The fans of Nanaimo are lucky to be able to listen to him on a regular basis.” Marshall credits those around him for the accolade as well. “We have a bunch of writers, producers and reporters that put in a ton of leg work on our broadcasts,” he said, “so I think this is a reflection of their work, too.” Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
Clippers’ Roulston commits to University of Lethbridge DAILY NEWS
Graduated Nanaimo Clippers left-winger Brett Roulston will continue his hockey career with the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns in Canadian Interuniversity Sport’s Canada West conference. Roulston played one year for the Clippers — his final year of junior eligibility — after coming to Nanaimo from the Western Hockey League’s Prince George Cougars. He was not eligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S. due to his time in the WHL.
The 20-year-old Whitehorse, Yukon native was an assistant captain for the Clippers and the team’s points leader in its playoff run to the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup finals, where they lost to the Penticton Vees in six games. Roulston seven goals and 10 assists in 23 playoff games, fifth-best in the BCHL. He also scored 17 goals and 20 assists in the regular season and finished eighth in team scoring. Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
anaimo District Secondary School graduate Katelynn Ramage will be one of three Vancouver Island athletes representing their country at the 2015 Pan American Games next month. Ramage, now a 22-year-old third-year student at Trinity Western University will make up half the country’s 20,000-metre race walk team competing at the Games in Toronto. She was picked for the two-woman team as per her status of being ranked as the second-best female race-walker in the country, and got official confirmation last week. “It was always up in the air, because you never know,” Ramage said. “I got the official email saying that I was on the team, so it was pretty exciting. Everything was kind of kept on the down-low until Athletics Canada and the Olympics committee made their press release.” Also qualified for the Pan Am Games — held this year in Toronto — are Vanouver Islanders Cam Levins, of Black Creek, for middle-distance running and Nanoose Bay high-jumper Michael Mason. Still young in the world of competitive race-walking, Ramage didn’t have the Pan Am Games on her list of goals due to the original qualifying time being just out of her realm. But when Athletics Canada changed the qualifying process to being rankings-based, that all changed. “It’s an international event on Canadian soil, so they wanted to be able to send two per event and give us the chance to represent Canada at home,” Ramage said. “Once the criteria changed, it definitely became the target.” The experience at the Pan Am Games, one of the world’s top

“Once the criteria changed, it definitely became the target.“ Katelynn Ramage, race-walker
athletic events, won’t be too big of a stage. “Last year I was fortunate enough to make the Canadian team and compete at the race-walking world cup in China,” Ramage said, “this past year I was down at the Pan American Race Walking Cup in Chile. “It’ll be the same type of competition as the Pan American Cup, just with a few less people because there each country can bring four, versus Pan Ams where they can only bring two per country.” Ramage finished 28th at the Pan American cup in May with a time of 1:50:28 in a field of
31 competitors, but did so while fighting off an illness. “When I was down there in May I ended up getting really, really sick so I’m just looking to improve and get more experienced,” she said. “That’s the big thing.” To improve, Ramage said she plans to “race smart” at the Pan Am Games, pay attention to her technique and trust her training. Before heading to Toronto, she is first off to Edmonton next weekend for the Canadian senior championships, which will help with her training. She plans to train at long distances before starting to taper down seven to 10 days before competing in Toronto. “The volume will decrease a bit,” Ramage said, “but the intensity will stay up there.” Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

LAS VEGAS — Four-on-four is out and three-on-three is in as the NHL will make a change to overtime for next season. Assuming approval from the board of governors Wednesday, overtime will be three-on-three instead of four-on-four for the full five-minute period. The aim is to have more games decided in overtime and reduce the number of shootouts. Players preferred that instead of the AHL format — three minutes of three-on-three followed by four-on-four until the end of a seven-minute period — according to Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland. “Basically our feeling was that whatever the players wanted
we were comfortable with, and that’s basically what we agreed to today,” Holland said Tuesday. “We want a higher percentage of games determined in overtime, and we think three-on-three is going to do it.” Last season, 170 games (13.82 per cent) went to the shootout. In 2013-14, 178 games (14.47 per cent) went to the shootout. “I think there’s too many shootouts, and the three-on-three, as much as the fans like the shootouts, they’re really going to like the three-on-three,” Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers said. GMs agreed in March to recommend some sort of overtime change, and players had their say at the competition committee meeting earlier this month.
That committee did not reach a consensus, so there was more conversation leading up to this week before three-on-three was the decision. “We think it’s a good thing,” Brad Treliving of the Calgary Flames said. “It highlights the skill in the game, so we’ll see how it goes.” The board of governors is expected to green-light threeon-three overtime as well as a coach’s challenge system for goals scored on goaltender interference and offside plays. A coach will be able to use a challenge only if he has his timeout left, but not in the final minute of regulation or overtime as those decisions will be decided by the referees.

SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez didn’t feel like he was at his best Monday night. Unfortunately for the Mariners’ ace, he needed a near-perfect outing to avoid a loss after receiving little support from his offence. Seattle managed two hits, Hernandez gave up four runs in 6 2/3 innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Mariners 4-1 in the opener of a three-game series. “They just put the bat on the ball,” Hernandez said. “I made good pitches and they get a base hit. Sometimes it happens.” Hernandez (10-4) gave up nine hits and a walk. He struck out five, but also allowed a 1-0 first-inning lead to slip away. “I thought he had good stuff,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “You look at their numbers, they don’t walk, they don’t strikeout. They just pester you.” Robinson Cano gave the Mariners an early advantage with a home run, but the Royals came right back. Alex Rios tied the game at 1 with a run-scoring single in the second. Rios advanced to second on the throw to the plate and Omar Infante followed with a double off the wall in right to score Rios. Mike Moustakas doubled in the third to score Alcides Escobar and give the Royals a 3-1 lead. Escobar, who had a three-hit night, drove in Jarrod Dyson with a single in the seventh. Dyson singled and stole second with two outs to get into scoring position. Joe Blanton (2-0), making his second start in the majors this season since briefly retiring last year, pitched 6-plus innings of two-hit ball. He struck out seven and walked none. “Being able to get back was kind of almost the pinnacle and now I’m just riding it out and enjoying it,” said Blanton, who struck out seven. “Probably more than I enjoyed it before because I definitely appreciate it more.”

he defence began with two rounds of clubs as South discarded a spade. Declarer ruffed the third club, crossed to the ten of diamonds and played a heart. East rose with the ace but switched to the jack of spades. South attempted to cashadiamondbutEastruffed to fire back a fourth club. Declarer discarded a diamond as West scored the heart nine and the partscore finished down three, N-S -300. North should have offered a diamond preference, of course, but three diamonds will be no picnic either although South might be able to bring home nine tricks with some help from the defense. South should shoulder most of the blame for this result because the auction revealed that North held a virtual Yarborough. Let South continue with three diamonds rather than introduce a sketchy fourcard heart suit. In this scenario, West may try a competitive four clubs which is likely to bring the auction to a close. East will bring home ten tricks losing a spade, a heart and a trick to score a modest +130. East might have sniffed out that N-S were out on a limb when North passed three hearts. He could infer that partner held diamond length and offer a penalty double to reap a matchpoint top.

Superstars are the only ones who make a proďŹ t off streaming music Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the up-and-coming, working and mid-level acts see see very little digital revenue JEFFERSON GRAHAM USA TODAY
VENICE BEACH, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pop superstar Taylor Swift has the right idea: Musicians should be better compensated for their online music. Problem is, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to find folks willing to pay for digital music in the first place. The rift between Apple Music and Swift over royalty rights obscured a hard truth about streaming music: Consumers love it, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pay for it. Spotify, the largest music subscription service, has 20 million paying global subscribers. You would need five times that number of paid subscribers to make streaming music a decent revenue stream for most musicians, say analysts. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the way royalty rates are designed. The digital download pays the highest percentage, followed by premium services like Spotify and then ad-supported services, which pay much less than premium, says Paul Resnikoff, the editor of Digital Music News. Premium is 11 times higher than ad-supported, he said. The big acts are seeing money from streaming. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the up-and-coming, working and midlevel acts that are seeing very little, and Twitter and forums are full of

gripes from these musicians that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting lots of online exposure, but few dollars. In the vinyl era, acts strived for gold (500,000 copies) and platinum (1 million). Now a band has to shoot for the moon to see serious money. Think 100 million streams, says Ted Cohen, managing director of Tag Strategic, a consultancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it really starts to pay off,â&#x20AC;? he said.
And the acts that get streamed the most, of course are the superstars. Spotify runs a weekly chart, showing the numbers of streams reaped by the top hits: This week, Rihannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FourFiveSeconds is No. 1, with just over 15 million streams. That equates to about $75,000, which has to be split with the music publisher, record label and the artist.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;What people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize is that income equality also applies to music,â&#x20AC;? says music blogger Bob Lefsetz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rich will get richer, but the poor and middle wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much better.â&#x20AC;? Apple launches its answer to Spotify on June 30 in the form of Apple Music, offering premium on-demand music and personalized radio for $9.99 monthly. It joins several subscription streaming services like Rdio, Rhapsody and Google Play, all hawking access to music for a monthly fee. Consumers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love to pay for streaming music, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also backing away from downloads thanks to the ease of listening on mobile phones. Some 1.1 billion songs were downloaded in 2014, down from 1.25 billion the year prior, according to Nielsen, while free and paid music streaming rose 54 per cent, to 164 billion songs. These were mostly from free, ad-supported places like YouTube and Pandora. For bands to really profit from digital music, there has to be many, many more paying subscribers to paid services. Apple has told record labels it expects to get to 100 million within 12 months, which would dramatically change the equation for many musicians, says Cohen.

NHL
Price has a chance to win big
The four players likely to be dealt away
Montreal Canadiens goalie could take home three awards tonight in Las Vegas
STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Carey Price spent his first night in Las Vegas watching the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show. It was fitting, as the Montreal Canadiens would have been a high-wire act without him. Price got through the mourning period of the Canadiens’ playoff exit but still hasn’t had the chance to appreciate his superb season that got his team there. On Wednesday night he could very well become the first goaltender since Dominik Hasek in 1997 and 1998 to win the Vezina Trophy, Hart Trophy as NHL MVP and Ted Lindsay Awards as most outstanding player voted by the NHLPA. No goalie has won the Hart and Vezina in the same season since Jose Theodore in 2002. But his teammates and opponents feel Price is deserving of that honour. “What’s special about Carey is you don’t have to talk about it because his play did all the talking for him,” Habs defenceman and Norris Trophy finalist P.K. Subban said Tuesday. “It’s about time now that he starts getting this type of recognition.” In winning 44 games, Price broke Jacques Plante’s franchise

record and has been mentioned in Habs history along with Ken Dryden, too. His 1.96 goals-against average and .933 save percentage led all goalies this season. Down the hall from the trophies he could be picking up at the league’s annual awards show, including the William H. Jennings for the lowest GAA, Price said he hasn’t thought much about his place in history or what he accomplished. “To be honest it hasn’t really hit me yet,” Price said.
Awards will help tell Price’s story. Wednesday night could be a great one for the Habs if Subban captures his second Norris Trophy, but it almost certainly will be a good one for Canada’s teams. Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators and Johnny Gaudreau of the Calgary Flames are up for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year, and Flames coach Bob Hartley is considered the favourite for the Jack Adams Award. If Subban doesn’t win the Norris, it very well could go to Sen-
ators captain Erik Karlsson, who like Subban is a better defensive player than when he got the award the first time. “I think I have improved as a player, an all-around player,” Karlsson said. “Obviously with experience you get every year, every player develops into something better. “I’m happy where I am right now. I think I’ve made progress since my season three years ago.” Price has made progress through his eight NHL seasons and will likely win the Vezina over Devan Dubnyk of the Minnesota Wild and Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators. Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals scored a league-best 53 goals, and John Tavares led the New York Islanders back to the playoffs, yet Price has been the Hart front-runner since the midway point of the season. On the eve of the awards show, a handful of his Canadian Olympic teammates from Sochi expressed an appreciation for his season for the Habs. “If it wasn’t for him they wouldn’t have been where they were,” Norris finalist Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings said. “I think his season overall was just amazing, really.”
GOLF
There is no ‘next Tiger,’ but Spieth will do
G
ive me a three-shot lead down the stretch of an important golf tournament and I likely would have done exactly as Jordan Spieth did Sunday at the U.S. Open. Which is to say I too would have cut my tee shot on the 17th hole way right into a gnarly lie and later three-putted for double bogey. And that, folks, is where the similarities end. With a threeshot advantage disintegrated, my ball would have come out of the 17th cup and would have been hurled right into Puget Sound. My putter head would have been embedded deep in the green-side soil. And my brain would have been so fired that the inevitable 12 I would post at 18 — plus the tirade sequel — would have scarred anyone within three miles.
Dan Wiederer Chicago Tribune Spieth? He swallowed his double and the resulting indigestion and simply proceeded to the 72nd hole with a plan. Relax, focus, make birdie. Par 5, 601 yards? Spieth went driver, three-wood, casual two-putt and captured his second consecutive major championship. Yes, he needed the golf gods to suplex Dustin Johnson with a haunting three-putt from 12 feet, causing him to lose the U.S. Open, literally, by a couple centimeters. But Johnson’s failure — proof of the pressure
that strangles the denouement of most majors — should only heighten Spieth’s accomplishment, not cheapen it. To top it off, Spieth exhaled after his four-day roller-coaster ride with a telling admission: he didn’t have his best stuff. With his game dialed in at Augusta National in April, Spieth shot 18-under par and led wire to wire at the Masters. Without his best stuff, he was still capable of conquering another major, this time on a craggy course with mini-golf ramps all over its bumpy greens. Some of the field’s best players couldn’t help but spend their energy ripping Chambers Bay’s flaws. Spieth? “We got over it,” he said Sunday. “Someone had to hold the trophy.” At 21, such aplomb is not only
abnormal, it may be downright alien. Realistically, golf will fail miserably in its search for the next Tiger Woods, a wunderkind whose own popularity will launch the game’s. Woods’ talent, on-course fire, social impact and timing was transcendent in a way that can’t be replicated. But the sport certainly appears to have found its next major star, an engaging and humble Texan who offers plenty to rally around. Spieth’s latest major triumph came with an approach he and his caddie called “free rolling.” It’s the golf equivalent of “hakuna matata,” a way to always remain present and worry-free. And it’s a catchphrase Under Armour may want to corral ASAP for its inevitable Spieth marketing blitz. After all, the kid’s going to be around awhile.
STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Player movement could be fast and furious this week as general managers meet in Las Vegas and then full staffs convene in South Florida for the NHL draft. Here are the four players most likely to be traded before the start of free agency on July 1: PATRICK SHARP The Chicago Blackhawks face another off-season of salary-cap reckoning, but don’t expect a fire sale like in 2010 when Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd and Antti Niemi had to go. At 33, Sharp showed he could produce with 43 points. The versatile forward has two years left at a cap hit of US$5.9 million. Possible destination: Buffalo Sabres, Washington Capitals ROBIN LEHNER Now that Andrew (Hamburglar) Hammond is signed, the Ottawa Senators must trade a goaltender, whether it’s Lehner or Craig Anderson. Lehner is younger as he turns 24 next month and has a more friendly contract at $2.25 million for two more years. The red flag is he missed several months with a concussion. Possible destination: San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers PHIL KESSEL Kessel has scored 30 goals in each of the past five seasons, but the Toronto Maple Leafs would waste his prime years during their rebuilding process. It’s not Kessel’s production that’s the problem but his contract: seven more seasons at a cap hit of $8 million. That and his no-trade clause limit where the right-winger could go. Possible destination: Florida Panthers, New York Islanders EDDIE LACK Like the Senators, the Vancouver Canucks have three goaltenders and the need to unload one of them. General manager Jim Benning may opt to trade younger, less-proven Jacob Markstrom. If it’s Lack, the return will be less but another team can get a backup for a cheap cost of $1.15 million. Possible destinations: Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars

Venus Freeze Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and cellulite reduction occur because the multi-polar radio frequency causes a thermal reaction in this tissue which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. That restoring response cause new collagen to form, and the production of new elastin fibres. The active collagen in the skin contracts, causing skin to look and feel firmer and the elastin fibers unravel making the skin appear more elastic.
