Planners concerned with traffic snarls in Nanaimo

Variety of construction projects set to begin SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
A
busy summer public construction season has city planners preparing how to manage traffic that will inevitably pile up once construction begins. The project of most concern is a major intersection upgrade at Northfield Road, Boundary Avenue and Highway 19A. The $3-million project will affect traffic travelling not just along the highway, but also along the Northfield corridor, the main route for ferry traffic connecting the Nanaimo Parkway to and from the Departure Bay BC Ferries terminal. Construction is slated to begin in September. Traffic to and from Nanaimo Regional General Hospital will also be affected.

“We need to talk to (the Ministry of Transportation) and see what kind of disruptions they’re willing to tolerate.” Steve Ricketts, construction manager
“It’s huge,” said city construction manager Steve Ricketts of the logistical challenge of handling what the city has warned will be “significant” traffic delays from the project. “We’re thinking of what we can do and we need to talk to (the Ministry of Transportation) and see what kind of disruptions they’re willing to tolerate,” Ricketts said. Ricketts said the impact to traffic will be comparable to last
year, when parts of Bowen Road were closed throughout the summer to replace underground utilities and to add bike lanes. “Certainly the Northfield/ Boundary (intersection) is going to be as challenging, if not more challenging for traffic,” he said. This month will also see the city replace a culvert on Wakesiah Avenue, another main road that runs alongside Vancouver Island University and Nanaimo District Secondary School. Luckily, the area is surrounded by residential streets, which will ease congestion. “There’s some reasonable detours, we’re planning to do (the work) before school is in,” Ricketts said. Other work done throughout the summer will be in mainly residential areas of the city and won’t affect most drivers, Ricketts said.
But the city is urging residents to take extra care while driving, walking or cycling through constructions zones to avoid injuring themselves and others. Ricketts said the city is also considering asking ferry users driving off vessels into Nanaimo at Departure Bay to avoid using Northfield Road to get to the Island Highway. Similarly, hospital employees may be encouraged to access the hospital via Waddington Avenue instead of Boundary Avenue, said Ricketts.

Police are searching for the identity of a man found dead in the water near Gabriola Island on Tuesday afternoon. The body was discovered by a passing private sailboat near Thrasher Rock at approximately 1:15 p.m. Those aboard the vessel contacted the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, and both the Canadian Coast Guard and the RCMP West Coast Marine vessel Inkster were launched to the site. They recovered the body and transported it to the government dock in Nanaimo, where a coroner confirmed the death. Police have not yet released information about the man other than he is an adult, was clothed and did not have any identification on him when found. A photo has been sent to the Gabriola Island RCMP to assist in the investigation. “It’s a barren rock with a beacon on it near Silva Bay,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, spokesman for the Nanaimo RCMP, of where the man’s body was recovered. “Our efforts to determine the next of kin are at a standstill right now.” There was no indication of where the man is from, how his body got into the water or how long it was there, added O’Brien. Late Tuesday afternoon, Coast Guard vessels and a Cormorant helicopter from 19 Wing Comox ended a search of the area for a vessel or other bodies. There is no indication yet that other people were involved. The body, taken to the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital morgue, may have to be identified through DNA or dental records if not through other means first, said O’Brien. Anyone with information that may relate to the incident is asked to contact the Gabriola Island RCMP at 250-247-8966 or Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345. Julie.Chadwick @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4238

Cost for firefighters takes a jump Mayor looks to explore new methods of delivering fire services to deal with ongoing issue DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay says he wants to explore alternatives to traditional fire protection models to rein in labour costs for the city. The new four-year agreement signed with Nanaimo firefighters last week provided pay increases of 2.5 per cent for each year in the period 2012 to December 2015. The settlement cost nearly $2.6 million, and wages make up a big chunk of firefighting costs. The top salary for fifth-year firefighter is now $93,480. The Nanaimo Ratepayers Association says it’s too rich.
If city council said they would cut arts and culture, parks and recreation, infrastructure or social housing to accommodate firefighter wages “there would be hell to pay,” said Randy O’Donnell, president of the watchdog group, by email. “Instead, they wait until after the election and as is traditional in Nanaimo, raise taxes again. This is simply not sustainable.” The city wants to look into cost-saving options. “We want to explore in depth new methods of delivering fire service, — things like integrated risk management,” McKay said.
It includes putting more emphasis on prevention. When Detroit’s population started to decline, “they could see they couldn’t sustain the same size fire department,” McKay said. Its integrated management approach included a $1-million home smoke detector installation blitz. One challenge is better-serving the Hammond Bay-Stephenson Point area. A 2008 study found Nanaimo Fire Rescue did not meet safety standards to arrive at 90 per cent of all incidents within six minutes. The nearest fire hall is at Hammond Bay and Uplands Drive.
Several legal precedents have reinforced firefighter pay scales in smaller communities tied to larger cities, which left the city little room to negotiate in this most recent agreement. The city’s 2005 fire plan called for seven halls by 2015, and “those seven halls would employ 140 firefighters,” at a considerable cost to taxpayers, but McKay said under integrated management, the halls could theoretically be built without hiring additional employees. This fall, McKay wants city staff and council to take a closer look at integrated management as an option for the future direction of fire protection in Nanaimo.
“I would like to hold off until we have this conversation,” McKay said. Fire suppression is a big-ticket item for city taxpayers, representing 10.5 per cent of its 2013 budget, and “it’s not buildings, it’s not fire trucks. It’s firemen,” McKay said.

T-Men player ‘saved the lives’ of sleeping family DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
A man who roused a sleeping family that was asleep in a burning house likely saved their lives, said the lead fire investigator in the case. Brad Mazzocato and his roommate were still up Sunday at about 1:30 a.m. when they heard a noise from next the backyard to their Southwood Drive rental suite. After Mazzocato realized the neighbour’s house was burning, he ran to the door to tell the family so they could escape. That simple action is believed to be the reason the young couple and their two-year-old daughter survived the fire, which totally engulfed and destroyed their home. “It very likely saved their lives,” said Alan Millbank, fire prevention officer with Nanaimo Fire Rescue. Mazzocato says he doesn’t deserve the attention he’s had since the incident. Mazzocato, who recently returned to Nanaimo from Ontario to play lacrosse for the Western Lacrosse Association’s Nanaimo Timbermen, said he just did what needed to be done in an emergency. After telling his roommate to call 911, he went to the neighbouring house and “beat in the back door.” Seeing the flames on the outside of the house rising to two metres in height, he knew time was short. So he smashed a window to enter the home and rescue the family. The couple were roused by the noise and, not knowing the

house was on fire, assumed it was someone breaking in. “They thought I was an intruder, so they got their child out of the crib and went into the master bedroom, and left through the master bedroom window,” Mazzocato said. Running through a burning home is something many people would avoid.
“I knew something had to be done, the house was burning down,” Mazzocato said. “I wouldn’t recommend people doing that without taking their own safety into consideration,” Millbank said. “But he said it was “lucky because it was an exterior fire and the smoke alarm didn’t go off until the fire was well involved.”
Fire crews arrived in less than six minutes — considered a good response time — but by then the house was consumed by fire. Just then the smoke alarms started to sound. “It was a really hot day (and) it was very windy.” The fire razed the house and caused considerable damage to both neighbouring homes,
leaving Mazzocato homeless. All three homes were insured, though Mazzocato had no tenant insurance. His emergency housing at a local hotel was expected to end on Wednesday. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235
EDUCATION
District puts $500K toward reconversion of Cedar school ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district will direct $500,000 from its $2,300,000 annual facilities grant for 2015-16 toward converting Cedar Secondary School back to a high school. The district, along with all the other school districts in the province, receives the annual facilities grant each year from the province to help pay for upgrades in its buildings. The funding is in addition to the operating grants the district’s receive each year for school operations.
“We seem to be getting enough to cover the costs of what we need done right now.” Steve Rae, board chairman
The former school board had allocated almost all of the approximately $2 million the district received in the annual facilities grant for 2014-15 toward their $2.6-million plan to convert Cedar Secondary School into an elementary school.
But the new board, which was elected last November, stopped that project before the entire amount was spent and the district is now in the process of converting the CSS facility back into a high school. That conversion project is estimated to cost $1 million, said Steve Rae, chairman of the school board. Rae said some of the renovations at CSS are being completed using funding left over from the 2014-15 annual facilities grant, so the $500,000 earmarked for the project from the current grant should be enough to cover the rest of the conversion project.
The school is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2016. “We’re confident that the costs of converting CSS back into a high school are going to be a lot less than if work on changing it into an elementary school continued,” Rae said. Approximately $600,000 from the 2015-16 annual facilities grant is being set aside for roofing programs in the district’s schools, another $300,000 each is earmarked for boiler replacements and the strategic energy management plan, and $100,000 will go towards exterior painting projects in Nanaimo-Ladysmith.
The rest will be used for smaller projects. Rae said the board is pleased with the annual facilities grant funding the district is receiving for 2015-16. “We seem to be getting enough to cover the costs of what we need done right now,” he said.

Education and training are no silver bullet
P
oliticians, employers, teachers, economists and bureaucrats all agree that education is the key to lifting people up, improving their financial prospects, narrowing the gap between rich and poor and boosting economic growth. Regrettably, this almost universal consensus is at odds with the facts. Rather than being the solution to rising inequality, education may worsen the problem, say two Canadian economists in a surprising study released last week. “Education and training policy is no silver bullet,” warn David Green of the University of British Columbia and Kelly Foley of the University of Saskatchewan. Pouring billions of dollars
Investing in apprenticeship programs and skills training doesn’t level the playing field. into university education — as Ottawa and the provinces are doing — delivers the greatest benefit to middle-and upper-income students. Investing in apprenticeship programs and skills training doesn’t level the playing field because female participation is low (9.7 per cent), the drop-out rate is high (43 per cent), and students from low-income families often emerge with heavy debt loads. The authors don’t object to all education spending. Invest-
ments in early learning targeted at children from low-income households make sense as an equalizer, they acknowledge. So does increased income support for parents of school-aged youngsters. But overall, they caution, “the forces that are driving Canadian wages — like technological change and the resource boom — would not be offset by simply increasing the education level of the workforce.” The pair reached these sobering conclusions after an exhaustive examination of hiring trends, employment levels, earnings, and differences in pay levels for graduates from high school, college and trade programs, university and post-graduate courses over the past 33 years.
What they found is that the return on investment in education rose steadily until 2000, when oil prices began to climb and computer skills became essential in most workplaces, then stalled. Rather than hiring university-educated workers, employers could adopt new technologies. Rather than staying in school, young men could get high-paying jobs in the oilsands. “Increased educational spending, especially at the university level, should not be counted on as a central policy for reducing income inequality,” they caution. Their analysis was published by the Institute for Research on Public Policy. Politically, this advice comes at an awkward time for all three party leaders. Stephen Harper
touts apprenticeship training as a “key provider of the vital skills and knowledge necessary to power and grow the Canadian economy.” Justin Trudeau’s plan to bolster the middle class is built on raising the post-secondary graduation rate to 70 per cent. Tom Mulcair says university “is more important than ever in this interconnected world.” The easy response is to brush off the inconvenient report. The smart response would be to look at the evidence and adjust policies to fit the facts.

City tax funds should be restricted to the basics
izations could chip in and fund their hobbies on their own without coming after my tax money. The silent majority of Nanaimo taxpayers, working hard to make ends meet, need to take time out of their busy lives and join me in protesting the frivolous spending of our money. Phone and put pressure on your councillors and this mayor. Together we can persuade council to lower our taxes, not increase them. Randy Stearman Nanaimo
Re: ‘Signs not allowed: Mayor McKay’ (Daily News, June 24)
Needless spending on dams backed by some
Mayor McKay has infringed on my rights as a city taxpayer, ordering me out of a public council meeting simply because I do not share his views on frivolous tax spending. When did Nanaimo become a dictatorship? I did not cause a disturbance, say one word or act in any threatening manner. I am calm, cool and just sick of watching McKay flip-flop from the days when he was councillor watching my tax money to now easily pleasing those who come calling by handing over my hardearned tax money. My taxes should be used for the basics to operate a city just like I run my home; not for shovelling it out the door to special-interest groups who ask. I am sure the members of many of these organ-
Frivolous may be a common legal term but it’s insulting to Nanaimo residents that the B.C. Comptroller of Water Rights uses this word in relation to the Colliery dams when approximately $3 million has already been spent on this fiasco. And why is Mayor Bill McKay siding with provincial government departments when he is supposed to be supporting the taxpayers of Nanaimo in their best interests? His idea, along with councillors Diane Brennan, Wendy Pratt and Ian Thorpe, is to spend an additional $3 million to $8 million — perhaps even more — on a problem that common sense says does not exist. Does anyone else find it bizarre that while we are in drought conditions and have Level 2 water
restrictions – probably going to Level 3 very shortly – the provincial government demands that we spend multi millions of dollars to prepare for a one in 34,000 year flood that has never happened in our history? Gail Radford-Ross Nanaimo
Labour dispute brings up some challenging issues Being semi-retired and having one of two kids graduate from VIU, I am grateful to be in a position where I can start to work on that golf game that has been put on the back burner for the past 20 years. We have the luxury of many golf courses within a 30-minute drive but which one to choose? Having the experience of being on both management and union side of labour issues I decided I would like to experience for myself the situation at Nanaimo Golf Club. After walking around the facility and talking with some lovely ladies who were very enthusiastic about their club, I was reminded on more than one occasion that “you can golf here all year round,” where other clubs can be very wet in the winter. They seemed very proud of their course but neither mentioned anything about the picket line. So I took it upon myself with golf cart in tow to find out what the issues are. It didn’t take me long to join the picket line.
I started the day wondering if I still had that “nice swing” I used to have and quickly realized how insignificant that was. These young people are not on strike, they are locked out. I can’t tell you how many times I heard “Get a job!” yelled at us. They have a job, they are locked out therefore unable to do their job. One person actually said “Go to school, get a degree,” to a person who on Wednesday had to leave their convocation to be on the picket line. And if that wasn’t enough, another woman proudly stated “We don’t care about you! Nobody here cares about you!” I have always said you can tell a lot about people by the way they treat others. I think I will golf somewhere else. Or even better, I challenge the membership and fellow golfers to come with your clubs and talk with these young people who are trying to pay off their student loans, pay their rent, raise their children. You might join them, you might not. It will be an eye-opener. Geri Rawlings Nanaimo Letters must include your hometown and a daytime phone number for verification purposes only.

Foundation seeking some help
Automotive repair shop makes move to new location in Nanaimo Business has been serving motorists in the city since 1985; moves to Cliff Street Robert Barron Reporting
T
op-Lite Car Service Ltd. has moved from its longtime location in Harewood to 11 Cliff St. Co-owner Mike Balatti said the automotive repair shop, which has been serving motorists’ needs in the city since 1985, recently moved to its new site in a former garage in downtown Nanaimo after the lease expired in Harewood. He said the new location is “still in transition” after the move, but staff have been able to meet the customers’ needs with no problems. “We’re also still getting the word out that we have moved,” Balatti said from his business Tuesday. “We’re still looking for our own shop and property that we wouldn’t have to lease, but it’s hard to find a good location in Nanaimo for an automotive repair shop at a reasonable price.”
Refurbished restaurant Walking into Parksville’s newly refurbished British Bobby Restaurant as of July 7 will be like stepping back into 15th Century England. Owners John and Mary St. John have just completed a $20,000 expansion and renovation with a medieval theme at their restaurant, and customers that show up wearing clothing from that long-gone era on July 7 will get a 20 per cent discount on their meals.

The Nanaimo Foundation wants help identifying where the needs are in the community. The foundation, a non-profit community organization that connects donors to charities and other worthwhile causes, has launched its second-annual “quality of life” survey for the Nanaimo region. The city-wide survey, which can be found on the foundation’s website at www.nanaimofoundation.com/vital-signs, asks residents to assess a number of different areas of city life and give them grades from A to F. Daniel Martinez, the development director for the Nanaimo Foundation, said more than 900 people completed the survey in 2014, and the foundation is hoping for a lot more to participate this year. “The survey really helps us identify where the priorities are in the region, and guide our process to determine where the grant money should be going.”

John St. John said the couple used to run restaurants in England and decided to dedicate the British Bobby entirely to traditional English food and atmosphere when they took over the location in 2013. “The building had a ‘Tudor’ look to it anyway so when we got so busy that we decided to expand the business from 1,600 to 3,000 square feet, we decided to go with a medieval theme,” St. John said. “We serve all traditional foods like in England with good portions at low prices. There’s not another restaurant like this anywhere in this area.”
Medigas moves
Odds and ends
The Medigas location in Nanaimo has moved from Dufferin Crescent to Rock City Centre, right beside the Gone Fishing store. Medigas, the home healthcare division of Praxair Canada Inc., provides physicians and their patients with home oxygen therapy, sleep therapy and home medical equipment. Manager Reg Simnes said the business wanted to move to a more visible location with “better exposure.” “This is a far busier place with a lot more people walking by, so it’s working well for us,” he said.

Park’s big re-opening generates excitement Darragh Worledge Reporting
E
xciting things are happening July 10 with the grand re-opening of Harewood Centennial Park. Hot summer weather always brings crowds to enjoy water features in the park. Now there are several new attractions to have fun with. An upgraded and expanded playground area includes a low to the ground, but none the less thrilling zip line ride. As well, balance and upper body strength can be challenged by a climbing wall. There’s also a newly constructed mountain bike trail.
The entire park has a new look. Double rail fences and a barn shaped entrance arch honour the community’s farming roots. Funds are rolling in to build a much anticipated Skatepark here as well. Chris Leigh, veteran of getting Cedar Skatepark up and running has been actively fundraising. Hot dog sales events have brought in several thousand dollars which are being put towards Harewood’s future skatepark. Bosa, owner of University Village have pledged $70,000 toward realizing this dream. “We’ve talked about this for so long. The kids will have a safe place to skateboard,” said Peggy Lake, vice-president of Harewood Neighbourhood Association. “Everyone’s getting really excited.” The grand opening celebration

A tiny, charming tomato house was cleverly topped with a water saver roof. Reemay fabric tunnels were popular for keeping out plant pests. These also protected produce from drying winds. Another garden featured rare and lovely bamboos. Other touches here were a hand-crafted gate, and plant name tags using Japanese calligraphy.

Speeches and ribbon cutting start at noon followed by cake-cutting. “It’s a party,” said Lake. “Come on over to Nanaimo’s newest and biggest kids playground to celebrate.”
Garden tour raises funds The second annual Altrusa Garden Tour took place on Sunday (June 28). It was a wonderful event featuring a local south-end garden, plus a showstopper on Cinnabar Road and several north-end charmers. The Cinnabar garden boasted gazebos, boardwalks and a large
axe, plus sharpened spade. Several of the gardens also featured live music and original artwork. There were many door prizes offered including fresh flower arrangements, gift certificates and an amazing hand carved garden sculpture. The tour raised $1,800 for Altrusa. This service organization focuses on supporting woman, children and literacy in Nanaimo. Ongoing Altrusa projects include Aboriginal Childcare Centre, summer learning programs at Georgia Avenue and Fairview Schools, supporting Nanaimo Youth Services, emergency funds for elementary schools, library book delivery for shut-ins, among many other activities. worledgedm@gmail.com

Lobbyists make same mistakes, says report DIRK MEISSNER THE CANADIAN PRESS
VICTORIA — Fines have been levied against a who’s who of British Columbia’s political movers and shakers as part of a crackdown on lobbyists by the province’s privacy czar. Elizabeth Denham, who is also B.C.’s registrar of lobbyists, said Tuesday that efforts to educate the influence peddlers weren’t sinking in, so she had to levy fines and name names to improve their behaviour. Her annual report said former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair was fined $1,000, B.C. Liberal power broker Patrick Kinsella was fined $1,500, Vancouver Liberal Brad Zubyk was fined $600, and Ben Chin, one of Premier Christy Clark’s chief communications officials, was fined $500. The fines were charged mainly for failing to meet deadlines to report lobbying activities to the registrar, while Chin was fined for not deregistering as a lobbyist prior to starting work for the premier
“Issuing these public reports and the fines appears to be a disincentive for lobbyists for the community to make mistakes.” Elizabeth Denham, B.C. registrar of lobbyists
before the 2013 provincial election. “I think the message is getting out there,” said Denham in an interview. “Issuing these public reports and the fines appears to be a disincentive for lobbyists for the community to make mistakes. We certainly don’t have any reoffenders.” Her annual Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists of B.C. report for 2014-2015 stated it completed 153 compliance reviews, conducted 18 formal investigations and issued six administrative penalties for failing to comply with the Lobbyists Registration Act.
Lobbyists consistently make the same mistakes when it comes to following the law. They misunderstand what constitutes lobbying, fail to identify registration timelines and ignore requirements to update and correct disclosure statements, her report stated. “For the first three years when I was registrar we did a lot of education,” said Denham. “We held conferences. We issued guidance. We had a newsletter. But it was time, because some lobbyists are not taking the rules seriously, for us to use the sanctions we were given by the legislature, including administrative monetary penalties.” She said seven other lobbyists in the coming months will likely face fines for breaches of the law. Denham’s report stated the top targets of B.C. lobbyists are cabinet ministers, members of the legislature, public agencies, ministerial staff and the staff of legislative members.

A late-afternoon thunderstorm that dumped torrential rains on Kamloops has flooded a trailer park and forced to the evacuation of about 100 people, says the city’s fire chief. The storm struck Tuesday at about 4 p.m., and it wasn’t long before about a metre of water collected in the area of the Oak Hills trailer park. Initial reports suggested
police had evacuated 17 residents, but Fire Chief Dale McLean said the number grew by more than five times over the course of the afternoon and evening. “We’ve had a number of homes that are being evacuated and they’re being sent to our reception centre, so now our numbers for the reception centre are up around 100,” he said. Exactly why the rain turned into a muddy river
and flooded the trailer park is unknown, although assistant fire chief Curtis Bossert said at one point that reports suggest a debris dam let loose above a nearby road. The same storm cut power to about 2,800 BC Hydro customers, although the service has now been restored. Environment Canada had issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the South Thompson region.

CANADA DAY

NATIONAL NEWS The Canadian Press
Canadians celebrate nation’s birthday Federal leaders in midst of buildup to election campaign JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canada’s federal leaders were waving the flag and priming their political messages Wednesday, on a Canada Day that landed smack in the buildup to this year’s election campaign. Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered the traditional midday remarks from Parliament Hill’s main stage, but also borrowed a line from his 2011 stump speech. The Conservative mantra for this fall’s election continues to centre around Harper as a trusted, seasoned politician with a steady hand at the helm. “In times of never-ending economic and political turmoil in the world, our Canada is an island of stability,” Harper told the crowd that police estimated at about 34,000 — thinner than usual because of rainy weather. This time around, the message might be tougher to sell: Statistics Canada reported dismal GDP numbers this week — the fourth straight month of decline. Economists began discussing the threat of another recession. Security around Parliament Hill was much heavier than usual. Some police officers were seen walking around with semi-automatic weapons. Many visitors were unable to make their way to the Parliament Hill lawns once the prime minister and Governor General had arrived, and the perimeter was made bigger than in past years. The wet weather meant there was no air show this year featuring the Snowbirds. The onstage entertainment included pop artists including Kiesza and Magic,

as well as a tribute to Sir John A. Macdonald, 2015 marking the 200th anniversary of his birth. Raquel De Queiroz a Brazilian-born Canadian who became a citizen two years ago, said she felt coming to Parliament Hill was a rite of passage. She wore a pair of mini-flags in her ponytail. “I’m definitely going to vote,” said De Queiroz, who was visiting Otawa from Whitehorse, Yukon. “I voted in the provincial election when I was living B.C., I’m going to volunteer as well to help out with the elections.” Twitter was buzzing with politicians posting pictures of themselves at Canada Day parades and citizenship ceremonies.
If Harper didn’t have to be in Ottawa on Canada Day, he might have done what Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair did — hopscotch around the Greater Toronto Area and southwestern Ontario. Mulcair issued a Canada Day statement that explicitly pointed to the election on the horizon. His schedule included five different stops, featuring NDP candidates, in Toronto. Trudeau issued a holiday statement that lauded Canada as “a place of fairness and of opportunity; a place where people from every imaginable country and culture, who speak every language, live and work, and build and thrive together.”

Cancer specialist facing fraud charges dies at 59
Nothing suspicious on diverted WestJet flight
Arthur Porter — a cancer specialist who was facing fraud charges related to a $1.3-billion hospital project in Montreal — has died, his biographer says. Jeff Todd, who helped Porter write The Man Behind the Bow Tie, said Porter died early Wednesday at a hospital in Panama. He was 59. Todd says he was informed of the death by Porter’s friend and physician Dr. Karol Sikora. Porter had been battling lung cancer. Porter was the former head of the McGill University Health Centre and was once appointed by the prime minister to head the Security Intelligence Review Committee, a CSIS watchdog group. Porter had been detained since May 2013 in Panama as he fought extradition to Canada.
Police in Saskatoon say there was no bomb on the latest Canadian plane that was the target of a threat. An explosives team has completed its search of the jet and determined that there was no explosive device on board. The plane was travelling from Toronto to Saskatoon on Tuesday evening and landed safely. The 113 passengers and five crew members were forced to disembark on the tarmac. Police say the jet is now back in the care of WestJet. It’s the fourth time in a week that a Canadian passenger jet has had to make an emergency landing because of a threat. Police say the investigation is continuing and there have been no arrests. In all of the cases, searches of the aircraft unearthed nothing suspicious.

Quebec moving day has animal advocates active
Half of Canadians will go into debt for summer fun
Quebec shelters are bracing for the annual influx of animals left behind during the province’s “moving day,” although advocates are hopeful the government will eventually consider ditching a no-pet clause invoked by landlords. Every year, thousands of Quebecers switch addresses on July 1, the date most apartment leases expire. Mass moves coupled with the legal right of landlords to insert no-pet clauses in leases result in a dearth of animal-friendly rental accommodations and leave many pets in shelters or on the street. “It’s really sad to be seeing families torn apart like this,” said Anita Kapuscinska, spokeswoman for the Montreal branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
A new CIBC poll says nearly half of Canadians will need to dip into their savings or take on debt in the coming months as they look to make the most of the warm summer weather. Forty per cent said summer is the most expensive season, while 36 per cent said they spend the most in winter. Another 17 per cent singled out spring as the costliest season, while only six per cent said their household spending spikes in autumn. Christina Kramer, executive vice-president of retail and business banking at CIBC, says many Canadians tend to underestimate how much they will spend on holidays and other seasonal events. “Having a budget and sticking to it is the best way to enjoy the holidays worry free,” Kramer said in a statement.

Europe not responding UN report says Iran is to new offer from Greece compliant on nuke issue
‘New chapter’ as Cuba, U.S. open up embassies
New Ebola case found as workers protest pay
Ex-scientist jailed after altering ďŹ ndings on HIV
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras backtracked Wednesday on his refusal to accept eurozone creditors’ demands for deeper spending cuts in exchange for more loans to keep the economy afloat, telling the international lenders in a letter that the austerity measures were acceptable if part of a two-year extension of their bailout program. But Tsipras continued to advise Greeks to reject the terms laid out by the creditors when they vote in a referendum Sunday on whether they are willing to endure more painful austerity. The positive signal from Athens spurred a recovery on markets across Europe and Asia after two days of selloff by investors concerned about spillover for the global economy from Greece’s escalating financial and social crises. With banks and the stock market closed for a third day, anger and panic were rising in Greece, prompting the head of the Orthodox Church to warn of the risk of political divisions swelling into violent confrontation.
President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that the U.S. and Cuba will reopen their embassies in Havana and Washington, heralding a “new chapter� in relations after a half-century of hostility. “We don’t have to be imprisoned by the past,� Obama said from White House Rose Garden. “Americans and Cubans alike are ready to move forward.� Cuban television broadcast Obama’s statement live, underscoring the new spirit. A state television anchor read a letter from Cuban President Raul Castro to Obama in which he wrote that Cuba is “encouraged by the reciprocal intention to develop respectful relations and co-operation between our people and governments.� The agreement marks the biggest tangible step toward normalizing relations since the surprise announcement in December that the U.S. and Cuba were restarting diplomatic ties. The posts in Washington and Havana are scheduled to open July 20, Cuba’s Foreign Ministry said.
Liberian officials confirmed a second Ebola case Wednesday in the same town where the disease was detected days earlier on the corpse of a teenager, seven weeks after the country was declared Ebola-free. The infected person was moved to Monrovia, said Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah. More than 100 Ebola centre workers stormed the Ministry of Health in eastern Monrovia on Wednesday demanding hazard pay that they said they haven’t received since the country was declared Ebola-free May 9 by the World Health Organization. Also Wednesday, workers exhumed the body of the 17-yearold male student whose infection, detected after his death, sparked fears of the return of Ebola to Liberia. The country was the hardest hit in the region, with 4,800 deaths, before it contained transmission. Experts warn that Ebola remains a threat to West Africa until it is eradicated from Guinea and Sierra Leone where it stubbornly hangs on.
A former university scientist who altered blood samples to make it appear he had achieved a breakthrough toward a potential vaccine against HIV was sentenced Wednesday to more than 4 1/2 years in prison for making false statements in research reports. Dong-Pyou Han, 58, also must pay $7.2 million to a federal government agency that funded the research. He entered a plea agreement in February admitting guilt to two counts of making false statements. Government prosecutors said Han’s misconduct dates to 2008 when he worked at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland under professor Michael Cho, who was leading a team testing an experimental HIV vaccine on rabbits. Cho’s team began receiving federal funding, and he soon reported the vaccine was causing rabbits to develop antibodies to HIV, which was considered a major breakthrough. Government prosecutors sought prison time to serve as a deterrent to Han and others,

Iran has met a key commitment under a preliminary nuclear deal setting up the current talks on a final agreement, leaving it with several tons less of the material it could use to make weapons, according to a UN report issued Wednesday. Obtained by The Associated Press, the confidential International Atomic Energy Agency report said more than four tons of the enriched uranium had been fed into a pipeline that ends with conversion of it into oxide, which is much less likely to be used to make nuclear arms. The report indicated that only several hundred pounds of the oxide that is the end product had been made. But a U.S. official said the rest of the enriched uranium has been transformed into another form of the oxide that would be even more difficult to reconvert into enriched uranium, which can be turned into the fissile core of nuclear arms. Iran’s meeting conditions of the preliminary deal is an important benchmark as the talks go into the final stage of talks.

‘Terminator’ gone stale and messy New movie starring Schwarzenegger is like a wedding DJ remixing period hits with a modern beat Terminator Genysis STARRING: ai Courtney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke, J.K. Simmons Director: Alan Taylor RATING: PG-13 PLAYING AT: Avalon Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 119 minutes MARK OLSEN LOS ANGELES TIMES
T
hough the character is now part of the pop-cultural firmament and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s signature role, anyone who could travel back in time to just before the release of The Terminator in 1984 would know it as a modestly budgeted, little anticipated sci-fi action film. The film was driven to heights of greatness by the cyber-punk imagination of writer-director James Cameron, his growing skills and confidence as a filmmaker, and the near-perfect coalescing of performer and role with Schwarzenegger as a time-travelling killer cyborg. Cameron’s 1991 Terminator 2: Judgment Day had a bigger budget, more ambitious storytelling and cutting-edge computer-generated visual effects that made it an idealized template to this day for what a summer movie can be: outsized, surprising and fun. With Cameron no longer involved, the rights to the franchise — we call them franchises now — have recently landed with a new production team that is operating as if the more recent third and fourth films in the series do not exist. (If only audiences had the same luxury.) Or, within the story logic of the new Terminator Genisys, those other films exist only on their own discrete, alternate timelines. In smashing together elements from the first two Terminator movies with Digital Age anxiety over connectivity and privacy, the new movie is kind of like a wedding DJ remixing period hits with a modern beat. Which is to say, Terminator Genisys is no fresh start — it’s a mess. In the year 2029, a resistance led by John Connor (Jason Clarke) is on the brink of destroying the evil anti-human operating sys-

tem of Skynet when he discovers a lone assassin has been sent back in time to kill his mother to prevent his birth. Soldier Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) is sent back to 1984 to protect Sarah (Emilia Clarke) only to discover she has been expecting him. Much is different from what Reese thought he would find, including the aging Terminator (Schwarzenegger), who has been protecting Sarah since childhood. The trio of Sarah, Reese and the guardian Terminator eventually move forward in time to 2017 in an attempt to stop the consumer system known as Genisys from going online before its ability to connect all technology creates a humans-vs.-machines battle to overthrow humanity. In perhaps the sharpest idea in the film, we will be sold, and happily buy, our own destruction. Terminator Genisys could be Exhibit A in why the current line of thinking in Hollywood regarding sequels/reboots/remakes often leads to terrible decisions and worse films. Director Alan Taylor is best known for his work on pres-
tige cable dramas like Game of Thrones and The Sopranos and the lesser Marvel entry Thor: The Dark World. And while there are plenty of action sequences in Terminator Genisys, none is especially memorable or rousing. One effect in particular, in which a character disintegrates into a digitally created particulate storm, seems designed specifically to re-create the wow factor of the liquid-metal Terminator in T2. Alas, the new effect seems more like something out of a tech ad than a techno-nightmare parallel realm of existence. And thankfully there is still a difference. The story requires a lot of explaining as to who is where, in what time period and why and whether certain characters are on this side or that. There’s one big character twist revealed in the film’s marketing materials that isn’t worth the bother of giving away here. It feels less like a surprise and more like the filmmakers just throwing up their hands and admitting they don’t know how to get their way out of all this either.
In the second Terminator film Linda Hamilton’s intense, driven performance as Sarah Connor, along with her muscular arms, became defining, peak ’90s imagery. The first two films set a high bar for female characterization, and in Genisys Emilia Clarke simply isn’t given the same kind of material to work with. She is not a damsel in distress exactly, but giving the character a lifelong protector does dial back her self-sufficiency by more than a few degrees. As part of a squad, she often feels lost in the shuffle. In her part on Game of Thrones, Clarke brings to it a coiled energy to the screen, ready to strike, and unfortunately, this Sarah Connor is no Mother of Dragons. At one point Clarke explains why the protector Terminator she calls “Pops” has aged — the living tissue around his robot skeleton ages like a human — and the line feels like a studio note in the margins written into a screenplay, meant to answer a restless audience’s questions.
As the story becomes increasingly convoluted, eventually Schwarzenegger’s friendly Terminator blurts out that alternate timelines are not complicated with essentially the same level of exasperation as when he exclaimed “It’s not a tumour” in Kindergarten Cop. Rather than a counter-argument to the recent emphasis on practical effects in films such as Furious 7 or Mad Max: Fury Road, the intensive computer-generated imagery in Terminator Genisys proves the point that there is often an additional emotional and psychological heft to films with reality-sourced imagery. As digital helicopters bounce around the sky, bridges are demolished, mountain lairs exploded, molecules scrambled and characters moved back and forth in time, it is as if the filmmakers’ level of engagement is diminishing right alongside the audience. Bigger is not better, complicated is not the same as complex. And it shouldn’t take a time-travelling cyborg to explain why.

Raunch doesn’t help skimpy ‘Magic Mike’ plot Magic Mike XXL STARRING: Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez, Gabriel Iglesias, Amber Heard, Donald Glover, Michael Strahan, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Banks, Jada Pinkett Smith Director: Gregory Jacobs RATING: Restricted RUNNING TIME: 115 minutes HEARD REBECCA KEEGAN LOS ANGELES TIMES
As a female moviegoer, I’m used to assuming that most studio films aren’t for me. There are often clues in the previews to help me steer clear, like the slow-motion shot of a Victoria’s Secret model running from danger (I’m not supposed to root for the skyscraper to fall on her, I have learned). So when someone actually tries to make a studio movie for me, as the people behind Magic Mike XXL most assuredly have, I’m inclined to be grateful just on principle. Which is why I feel bad reporting that Magic Mike XXL didn’t make me feel all that good. Watching it was like opening the wrong gift — that’s not my size, and I don’t like blue, but thank you, Warner Bros., for even bothering to shop for me. Most of the other studios forgot my birthday. Magic Mike XXL is set in the
orange-spray-tan-colored world of male strippers. It stars Channing Tatum, who in his youth spent time on those runways, as the title character. Like its cheerfully raunchy predecessor, which was directed by Steven Soderbergh, this sequel isn’t so much about story but about conveying the viewer from one strobe-lighted set piece to the next. But while a seedy realism embodied by Matthew McConaughy’s club owner Dallas leavened the fantasy in the original, Dallas is gone now and the knowing tone has been replaced by a more earnest one, which doesn’t play nearly as well. A road picture with only the skimpiest thong of a plot, Magic Mike XXL picks up three years after the first film, as we find Mike (Tatum) focused on his thriving custom furniture business, a job, by the way, that fulfills the deeply Freudian female fantasy of a man who can put
together an Ikea Billy bookshelf without swearing. In a scene winkingly evocative of similar moments in dancerwith-a-dream movies such as Flashdance, Mike hears the call of the grind one night in his workshop when Ginuwine’s throbbing ’90s R&B anthem “Pony” comes on the radio. Using power tools, work benches and Tatum’s best instrument — his sense of humour about his own sculpted image — the moment strikes just the right campy vibe. Unfortunately, the conveyor-belt story then kicks in, as the guys hit the road for one last lap dance at a stripper convention in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Writer Reid Carolin and director Gregory Jacobs, Soderbergh’s longtime first assistant director, fill the movie’s non-thrusting minutes with stultifying dialogue and head-scratching scenes of male bonding, featuring the motley, low-body-fat crew from the original: Joe Manganiello’s Richie, Matt Bomer’s dollish Ken, Kevin Rash’s Tarzan and Adam Rodriguez’s Tito. In the era of the dad bod — an ascendant, doughy female ideal of a guy who doesn’t count his carbs or hers — there is something about the protein-powder-built bodies in Magic Mike XXL that feels out of step, like a male fantasy of what a female fantasy should be. I suppose there’s something
equalizing about objectifying male bodies as much as we objectify female ones, and something sweet about filmmakers thinking this hard about what turns women on. Another one of the endearing qualities of Magic Mike XXL is how the movie acknowledges the franchise’s gay male fan base, as evidenced in a drag queen revue scene in the film and in its marketing campaign, which saw Tatum and Bomer riding a float in L.A.’s gay pride parade two weeks ago. It almost makes you want to throw dollars at them, you know, for the effort. But it’s hard when the movie’s female characters make even these cartoon men look like portraits of complexity. There’s Amber Heard’s sulky photographer, Zoe, whose redstreaked hair and propensity for walking out of rooms is supposed to signal that she’s deep; Andie MacDowell’s white wine-swilling Southern matriarch, who really just needs some good; and Jada Pinkett Smith’s carnival-barking MC, Rome, whose shtick is to call women in the audience “queen” and select one, Paper Chase-style, to let a man she’s never met drop his crotch onto her head. ’Cause really, does anything take the edge off a tough week like a pair of sweaty testicles on your temples? Please, Rome, don’t call on me.
Apart from Tatum, who also produced the film, Magic Mike XXL’s” most valuable player is its choreographer, Alison Faulk, who deploys her skill best in an athletic third act mirror dance that pairs the star with So You Think You Can Dance all-star Stephen “tWitch” Boss. Soderbergh, an executive producer, also serves as the cinematographer and editor here, and we presumably have him to thank for the inventive way the movie’s rippling abs and lats are lighted — by beach bonfire, car headlight and power tool spark — and for the well-timed cutting, which helps sell the humour. But even the movie’s funny moments seem oddly chosen. In one scene, when Richie, high on Molly, is trying to get his groove back, he walks into a gas station and amuses the bored register girl by peeling off his shirt and dramatically flinging Doritos at her. For the record, if a 6-foot-5 man high on drugs walks into a place where you’re working by yourself and starts taking off his clothes and throwing food, most women would call 911. Yes, even if he looks like Manganiello. A better scene might have involved him helping her fix the broken slushie machine, mopping up the mess with his shirt and settling in to bingewatch some Downton Abbey. So what if it’s a fantasy? You’ll get to the grind eventually.

Clippers get unexpected boost
Sr. B T-Men load up for playoff run
Sheldon Rempal, Devin Brosseau, Yanni Kaldis will return for one more season SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
The pain of the mass exodus of Nanaimo Clippers forwards has been eased considerably with the knowledge that star wingers Sheldon Rempal, Devin Brosseau, as well as all-star defenceman Yanni Kaldis, will each return to the team for the 2015-16 season. Each of the three 19-year-olds had been committed to play NCAA Div. I hockey in the 2015-16 in the U.S., but will instead come back to Nanaimo for one more shot at the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup championship.
REMPAL
“Going into trade deadline and things like that, we thought those guys were probably going to be gone to school,” said Clippers head coach and general manager
Mike Vandekamp. “It’s just more to do with their timing with their schools and some academic work that needs to be done. There has to be available spots and all that.” When the Clippers finished last season two wins away from a BCHL championship, Brendan Taylor, Jake Jackson, Nic Gushue, Cole Maier and Brett Roulston, along with Rempal, Brosseau and Kaldis, were all expected to leave for the NCAA. Although Vandekamp is happy he will have his leading goal scorer in Rempal back for another

year, along with top-line left winger Brosseau and second-team all-star defenceman Kaldis, their returns do create challenges with regards to roster decisions. The Clippers will head into training camp Aug. 24 likely carrying 10 20-year-old players, four more than the league limit. They currently have on their roster six 20-year-old forwards on the roster — Brosseau, Rempal, Ryan Forbes, Corey Renwick, Anthony Rinaldi and Jacob Hanlon, as well as defencemen Kaldis, Ryan Coghlan, Edwin Hookenson and Kale Bennett. Vandekamp will need to trade four of them before the season begins Sept. 12 in Powell River. “We’ve been looking at some possible trade situations,” Vandekamp said. “That’s unfortunately part of the reality of it. I’d prefer not to move any of these players. We ended up very happy with our club at the end of last year and the players have certainly expressed their desires to be back, too.” Rempal led the Clippers last season with 29 goals, while Brosseau missed the bulk of the season with a broken collarbone but still posted 33 points in 34 games. Kaldis was the league’s second highest scoring defenceman with 47 points in 54 games.

With three games remaining in the 2015 West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association season, the Nanaimo Senior B Timbermen are stockpiling talent ahead of what they hope will be a long playoff run and another trip to the President’s Cup. According to Timbermen general manager Shawn Swanson, the team has added former Senior A Timbermen captain Grahame Palmer to the club, as well as past Victoria Shamrocks offensive runners Derek Lowe and Adam Brown. After an eight-year career with the Maple Ridge Burrards, Lowe was traded to Victoria in 2012 and had posted four points in three Western Lacrosse Association games with the first-place Shamrocks this season. Brown, a lefty, also played three games with the Shamrocks this year, while Palmer has been serving as an assistant coach to Kaleb Toth with the WLA Timbermen. The Senior B Timbermen are in Port Coquitlam on Sunday before playing their final two regular season home games in Nanaimo on July 11 and 12. They currently sit in second place at 13-2 behind only the Ladner Pioneers.
NHL
Canucks deal Kassian, sign Matt Bartkowski STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Free-agency day felt like trade-deadline day, with all seven Canadian teams getting in on the action. The Toronto Maple Leafs made by far the biggest splash Wednesday, dealing Phil Kessel to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a six-player, three-pick blockbuster. That came on the heels of the Penguins missing out on Pittsburgh native Brandon Saad, whom the Chicago Blackhawks traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. The Vancouver Canucks also made waves, moving Zack Kassian and a fifth-round draft pick to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for tough guy Brandon Prust. The Canucks also brought back defenceman Yannick Weber on a US$1.5-million, one-year deal, signed goaltender Richard Bachman for two years and defencemen Taylor Fedun and Matt Bartkowski for one year apiece. Bartkowski’s contract is worth US$1.75 million. The Edmonton Oilers signed the biggest July 1 contract, giving defenceman Andrej Sekera US$33 million over six years. After already trading Griffin Reinhart at the draft, the Oilers made a drastic improvement to their blue line in the wake of drafting Connor McDavid. “He’s a really versatile D, very strong he can play on our top pair if need be,” Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli said in Edmonton. “(We have) a lot of options with him.” The Calgary Flames kept the Battle of Alberta arms race going by bringing back goaltender Karri Ramo on a $3.8-million, one-year deal and signing winger Michael Frolik away from the Winnipeg Jets for five years and $21.5 million. “He’s able to do a lot of different things that are very valuable,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said of Frolik.

TORONTO — Justin Smoak loves being a part of the Toronto Blue Jays’ offence, no matter what his role. Smoak hit two home runs with three runs batted in and Toronto cruised to an 11-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. “It’s awesome. Best offence in the game,” said Smoak, who was drafted by the Rangers in 2008. “I feel like in 2010 when I was with Texas, being in that offence, it was really good but this one’s a lot better than that one.” The Rangers scored 787 runs in 2010, fourth best in the American League that season, on the way to an AL championship. Toronto has 435 runs so far this year, by far the most in Major League Baseball. Smoak’s role has changed from his time in Texas to now, going from being an every day player to only occasionally starting. “It’s new to me. It’s not easy,” said Smoak. “There’s a lot of work behind the scenes and getting ready during the game and ready for any situation. It’s something I’m trying to adjust to.” Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Bautista and Josh Donaldson also hit home runs for Toronto (42-38), ending a small two-game skid. Jose Reyes had four hits and three runs batting leadoff for the Blue Jays. Mark Buehrle (9-4) pitched seven innings, giving up one run on four hits. The left-hander struck out seven with 106 pitches. Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil came in in relief. “I can’t complain, I’ve had a fair amount of runs scored for me this year which makes it a lot easier to pitch,” said Buehrle. “I just try to go out there and throw up zeroes and hold them down as much as you can, give our offence a chance.” Mookie Betts had a late home run for Boston (36-44), while Hanley Ramirez had a triple and scored. The Red Sox had a three-game win streak come to an end.

est switched to a diamond when partner discouraged a spade continuation by playing the deuce. This proved beneficial in an unusual fashion. Declarer won cheaply in hand to follow with king and another heart inserting the ten when West discarded a diamond on the second. one. Eastscoredthequeentoreturn a spade for partner’s ace. The diamond exit was ruffed and the game finished down one, N-S -50. South should win the queen of diamonds and run the jack of hearts through East. He continues with a trump to the nine and unblocks the king. Dummy is entered with a club to extract the last trump and the ace of spades is driven out. A club will be discarded from the table on a spade winner resulting in an overtrick. South had elected to advance to the major suit game but 3NT might yield an improved result. West would lead either a spade or a diamond but the latter would be a most ineffective choice. South could corral eleven tricks by playing East for the queen of hearts. A spade lead would not cause any problems for declarer but a club lead would be best where declarer would struggle if he misguesses hearts.

Leafs send Kessel to Pittsburgh
Pirates continue to surge
STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Phil Kessel is joining Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin with the Pittsburgh Penguins as the Toronto Maple Leafs begin the process of dismantling an ineffective core that made just one playoff appearance. Management took the first wrecking ball swing to this Leafs roster Wednesday, sending Kessel to the Penguins in a blockbuster trade that netted prospects Kasperi Kapanen and Scott Harrington, winger Nick Spaling and two draft picks. “Phil is certainly a very talented player, but we know that changes had to come,” Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said. “What we were doing here as a group wasn’t working, and we were setting a bit of new direction for our club and building it differently.” The rebuilding starts now, absent Kessel, his almost automatic 30 goals a season and his US$8 million cap hit. The Leafs retain 15 per cent of that salary (US$1.2 million) for the next seven years but cleared much-needed space to begin constructing what Shanahan hopes is a Stanley Cup contender. Shanahan and the management team made up chiefly of Mark Hunter, Kyle Dubas and Brandon Pridham, didn’t see this core led by Kessel, defenceman Dion Phaneuf, centre Tyler Bozak and winger Joffrey Lupul as one that could bring the Cup back to Toronto for the first time since 1967.
McDavid joins Oilers rookie orientation DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Connor McDavid, the teen phenom forecast to be hockey’s next great superstar, officially hit the ice Wednesday with the Edmonton Oilers. And the 18-year-old made it clear he’s all in on the Oil Drop. McDavid underwent medical and fitness tests before hitting the ice along with other prospects for power skating drills on the first day of the Oilers orientation camp. “The fitness testing wasn’t a whole lot of fun, but (it was) really cool to throw on the Oilers gear, the gear I want to play the rest of my life wearing,” said McDavid. He said he still doesn’t feel like an Oiler. “It’s going to take a little while for it to sink in. “It still feels surreal. It’s hard to picture being part of an NHL organization let alone the Edmonton Oilers, who have such a storied background.” The man from Newmarket, Ont., joined other recent top Oiler draft picks, including defenceman Darnell Nurse and centre Leon Draisaitl for workouts at Rexall Place.
Burgmann strikes out four as Nanaimo club sweeps Victoria DAILY NEWS
A walk-off double from Garrett Goodall in extra innings Wednesday gave stud pitcher Josh Burgmann a win in his 2015 Nanaimo Pirates debut on Wednesday afternoon as they swept the Victoria Mariners in a Canada Day doubleheader. The Pirates two wins were a reflection of their recent play as they have gone 9-1 in their last 10 games and remain within striking distance of first place — they currently sit in a third-place tie in the 12-team PBL at 24-12. Burgmann, a Grade 11 pitcher who spent the offseason at the Vauxhall Baseball Academy and Alberta as well as being a member of the Canadian junior national team, stepped into the first game of the doubleheader with the Pirates up 13-12 in the sixth inning. He faced 13 Victoria batters, striking out three of them while giving up three hits and one earned run that tied the game. Goodall’s double in the bottom of the eighth, though, sealed the win for the Pirates. Shane Rogers, Cole Warken, Kevin Sengara and Burgmann each batted in two runs at the plate while Sam Baker, Robert Busch and Bryce Stromquist split the game’s first five innings. The Pirates had originally trailed 4-0 after the first half of the first inning, and 12-6 in the top of the third inning before mounting a successful comeback. In the back-half of the doubleheader, though, they never trailed. Up 2-1 after three and a half innings, the Pirates posted four in the fourth when Rogers hit a double that scored North Rainey before Cole Warken hit a sacrifice fly ball that scored Rogers. Goodall also hit an RBI double thats scored Chris Vlaj. That put the Pirates up four runs, but the Mariners didn’t go away easily. In the top of the seventh inning and at risk of going home winless on the day, they managed to get across the plate three times

to pull within a run of the lead. But with two outs left in the game, Rainey replaced Goodall on the mound and picked off a stealing attempt for the final out of the game to give the Pirates the win, their fourth in a row. Rogers finished with another two-RBI game, as did Warken. Aaron Page was the Pirates’ starting pitcher and he gave up just three hits in four innings of work, striking out two Mariners and allowing one earned run. Zach Diewert left Wednesday as the B.C. PBL’s RBI leader with 34, despite sitting out the second game of the day. Pirates first baseman Matt
Single is fifth on that list with 27. Diewert’s three home runs on the season is also second best in the league, as is his .390 batting average. Warken’s .385 batting average is third-best in the league. The Pirates now play their next six games at home at Serauxmen Stadium, beginning with a doubleheader beginning at noon on Saturday against the topranked North Shore Twins. They also host the seventh-place North Delta Blue Jays on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Japan advances to Women’s World Cup final SHANE JONES THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Laura Bassett’s own goal in the 92nd minute proved to be the heartbreaker as Japan punched its ticket through to the Women’s World Cup final with a dramatic 2-1 victory over England on Wednesday. Fourth-ranked Japan, the defending champion from the 2011 World Cup in Germany and silver medallists at the 2012 London Olympics, will meet the United States in the gold medal match on Sunday in Vancouver. It was actually the first time that Japan has defeated England in a major international tourney, losing 2-0 to England in the group stage at the 2011 Women’s World Cup, Japan’s last loss in the tournament. Sixth-ranked England had a very good early opportunity,
as Jodie Taylor shot just wide of the Japanese net and outstretched goalie Ayumi Kaihori in the opening minute. Japan was awarded a penalty kick as English defender Claire Rafferty made a major mistake in shoving Saori Ariyoshi from behind on her way to the net. Aya Miyami took the penalty kick and made no mistake in scoring her second goal of the tournament at the 33rd minute to make it 1-0 for Japan. However, England got a penalty kick call of its own soon afterwards in the 40th minute when Yuki Ogimi was flagged for impeding Steph Houghton — a call that did not please the Japanese fans in attendance as Houghton appeared to have taken a dive on the play. Fara Williams took the shot and outguessed Kaihori to knot the game 1-1. England came very close to taking the lead in the
63rd minute, but Toni Duggan rang a shot off of the crossbar. The Lionesses nearly struck again a couple of minutes later on a corner kick, but Jill Scott headed the ball just wide. The game appeared to be headed to extra time, but a long Japanese cross in the 92nd minute hit Bassett’s foot and deflected off the post and in, although it took the new goalline technology to declare it a goal and give Japan the victory. Japan has now won nine consecutive World Cup games dating back to 2011 and is the only team in this year’s tournament to win all of its games outright. The Canada World Cup marks the farthest the English women’s team has ever advanced in the tourney. England will remain in Edmonton to face Germany in the bronze medal game on Saturday.
Tell sister her husband needs to see doctor Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox I am gay. Two years ago, my partner of 34 years told me that my brother-in-law had touched her breasts inappropriately. I didn’t believe her and we had a huge fight over it. She never confronted him or told my sister, and she has continued to socialize with my family. Last weekend, we attended my niece’s graduation, and much to my horror, my brother-in-law rubbed his hand across my butt. Worse, I then had to get into the same car with him. I was shocked and said nothing, even though I was terribly upset. I avoided him the rest of the week-
end, but things haven’t been quite right since. A year ago, I moved to another state and spend vacations with my sister and her family, either in her home or mine. Now I’m not sure I should continue. I do not understand why he did this or what to do. Was it an act of power or hate or some kind of midlife crisis? This is my sister’s husband, whom I have respected through the years. I now doubt everything about him, including his fidelity to my sister, his morals and whether he has touched other females in the family. I am close to my sister and don’t want to hurt her. We are not young anymore and don’t have a tremendous amount of time left to be near each other. But I am not comfortable with the idea of staying in the same house with him. How do I explain that to my sister without causing more harm? — Confused and Angry
Dear Confused: There is another possibility. Sometimes, sudden and peculiar changes in behaviour or a loss of inhibition can indicate a medical problem, including a small stroke or early signs of dementia. In all the years you have known him, your brother-in-law has never behaved this way toward you. Please talk to your sister. Say that you’ve noticed some disturbing changes in your brother-inlaw’s recent behaviour and that you worry he may have some physical or neurological problems. You will have to tell her what you mean, but do so with concern and caring, instead of accusations and condemnation. Suggest to her that she get him to a doctor for a complete workup and evaluation. Dear Annie: This is for “Had Enough, Thanks,” the 68-yearold woman whose husband still wants sex, but she isn’t interested. I have the opposite problem.
My husband is in his late 60s, and I am 10 years younger. We have only been married for five years, and he has had no interest in sex or any other type of physical intimacy. He even told me that he has no need for this anymore and could easily live the rest of his life without it. This has caused extreme problems, as I still have a strong need and desire for marital intimacy. Though I truly love him, it is almost more than I can bear to face the rest of my life with virtually no human touch. — Married, Living Alone Dear Married: We’re certain a lot of women will tell you that in a few years, you may feel the same way your husband does, but that’s not necessarily true. And in the meantime, you are miserable. Is your husband willing to discuss this with his doctor or a counselor? If not, counseling might help you make some decisions.
HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Pressure builds, and you might not have any clue whether you can change a situation. You can, however, adjust your attitude about the matter. You could be uncomfortable expressing an idea that is very important to you. Tonight: Serious talks transform into fun chatter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have the ability to read between the lines and understand more of what is happening. Detach and gain a greater perspective. As a result, you will see a situation differently. Be receptive to someone’s compassion as well as his or her ideas. Tonight: Happy close to home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to rethink a personal situation. A conversation with a close associate will prove to be unusually caring. You’ll become more aware of a superior’s thoughts. Try not to make a commitment about money while others are so emotional. Tonight: Dinner and a chat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to defer to someone else and find out what is going on with him or her. Honor your feelings, and know full well that most of the time you are right-on. Indulge in getting yourself a little something that you have been wanting. Tonight: Make it your treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are like a flare of light in the middle of a chaotic Full Moon. You might not like someone’s ideas or some of the comments you are hearing. Your kind ways tend to open others up, but you might want to hold off for now. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might get into today’s Full Moon more than most signs. Your relationships could come to the fore. You probably will find yourself juggling friends and a potential loved one. Don’t allow any exaggerated statements to get to you. Tonight: Enjoy the friskiness of the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be overwhelmed by everything you have to do. A loved one might be taken aback by what is happening within your immediate circle. Your sense of well-being might be tested by a roommate or by a situation around you. Tonight: Join a friend for munchies. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be overwhelmed by all the calls you are receiving on top of all the requests heading your way, plus what you have to get done. Avoid blowing a fuse, find a favorite person and relax. Use the calmer moments to squeeze in some calls and a visit. Tonight: As you like it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Use caution with any financial or emotional dealings. You can be sure that not everyone sees the issue the same way you do. In a discussion, someone might do or say something radical that he or she doesn’t really mean. Remain caring and centered. Tonight: Among the crowds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not be aware of how hard you are pushing to have matters play out a certain way. One-on-one relating can ease some of the pressure you experience with one person. You might be delighted by a gift or gesture that he or she offers you. Tonight: Make nice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to your instincts when trying to get past a problem. You would be best off keeping your own counsel for now. Someone might express his or her true feelings about a matter that is important to you; be careful not to react. Tonight: Head home and get a good night’s sleep. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Zero in on what is important to you. Today’s Full Moon will pave the way to success, though you can expect some ups and downs. Understand that you might not see eye to eye with a loved one. Let it go -- the two of you will agree later. Tonight: Where the crowds are. YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 2) This year you open up to many new opportunities, though they seem to come all at once, forcing you to make a decision more quickly than you might want to. You often wonder how much to do for a key person in your life, as he or she might be quite demanding. Many of you will travel, while others will become armchair travelers. If you are single, after August, your social life will take off. It is quite possible you will meet someone who could knock your socks off.
