Residents evacuated after big blaze in Yellow Point
Pocket watch returned to museum JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
with numerous engines, land and air tankers, support fire and forestry trucks. A tired deJong was glad to see the flames knocked down and the smoke all but gone Friday afternoon. “I’m hoping to be home Saturday,” deJong said. “I’m hoping to be back on my vacation. We’re still in mop up . . . it’s smouldering a little bit here and there, but it’s not a big concern now.” Tinder-dry conditions also saw Nanaimo Fire Rescue quickly contain a grass fire that flared up not far from Woodgrove Centre on Friday afternoon, forcing some re-routing of traffic. It took Nanaimo firefighters about an hour to bring that fire under control. It was 90 per cent contained by 4 p.m.
A historically valuable pocket watch stolen from the Nanaimo Museum late last month has been returned. The watch, which once belonged to miner Robert McArthur, was noticed missing from its display case in the coal mining exhibit on June 25. One of the Nanaimo Museum’s most important artifacts, it had particular significance because it was forever stopped at 7:10 a.m., the moment that 16 coal miners plunged to their deaths in the Protection Island mine when the elevator cable snapped in September of 1918. The watch was found in McArthur’s pocket and served as a central artifact utilized by museum staff to tell stories about the lives and work of local coal miners. On Thursday the watch was returned to the museum, said Aimee Greenaway, interpretation curator. Further information on how and why the watch was returned is not yet available, but Greenaway said staff members are “elated and overjoyed” to see the artifact, which was donated by McArthur’s granddaughter, safely back in the museum’s possession again. “We really appreciate the support that we got from the community when all this was happening. “It was a really difficult time at the museum and it helped us to have so much support,” said Greenaway. The museum will not put the pocket watch back on display just yet. “We have to build a new case for it that has increased security measures in it,” said Greenaway. McArthur’s wallet is also in their collection, so the museum plan to build an expanded exhibit that includes more information about McArthur’s life and history.

A
bush fire estimated to cover 20 hectares at one point evacuated several families in the Yellow Point area overnight Thursday. Residents on Hill Road and on Cedar Road, between Yellow Point and Adshead roads, were ordered to leave their homes when a small grass fire grew, fanned by strong winds, and spread into nearby trees. A temporary evacuation centre set up in the Ladysmith recreation centre was available, but went unused. The cause of the blaze is now under investigation. Conditions were right to turn it into a major blaze that took an arsenal of firefighters and equipment to control. “It’s just the perfect storm, so to speak — you had hay, wind and

high temperatures,” said Capt. Jason deJong, of North Oyster Volunteer Fire Department, who was called in from his vacation to battle the fire. Retiree Ray Rinta, who lives with his wife on a smaller, adjacent property, was napping after a day at the beach in Ladysmith Thursday afternoon when his wife woke him up to say the neighbouring field was on fire. “I phoned 911 and they said, ‘We have already received a call.’” Rinta said. “We were standing out on the back deck and you could see the smoke.” It grew much bigger and by about 7 p.m., it had spread into nearby trees. Rinta was surprised when the fire jumped across a greenbelt created where moisture from a run-off ditch separated the two properties. Emergency vehicles soon blocked Cedar Road off, and the
Rintas were evacuated, along with neighbours. They arranged to stay with their daughter in Nanaimo but when she ended up behind roadblocks they met her at the nearby Chuckwagon Store. But before that happened, the fire brought out the best in a friendship with Darryl Hickey, a neighbour who works at Bedrock Redi-Mix, a concrete company. Rinta and Hickey watched the fire grow for some time, and Hickey, “couldn’t stand it anymore,” Rinta said. Hickey convinced his boss to get some trucks from the work yard to haul water to put out the fire. “It was touching, I’ll tell you, to have your neighbour do that for you,” Rinta said. Considerable resources were enlisted: Volunteer firefighters from North Oyster, Cranberry and Ladysmith, supported by Coastal Fire Service personnel,

ENTRANCE ISLAND
Lighthouse given heritage status Designation granted 74 structures in seven provinces across the country under new act ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The manned lighthouse on Entrance Island, located off the tip of Gabriola Island, has been granted heritage status from the federal government. It’s one of 74 lighthouses in seven provinces across the country that were given heritage designation this week by the federal government under its new Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act.
The legislation protects all the structures, including buildings, docks and helicopter pads, at Entrance Island and the other lighthouses from being removed or changed in any way without approval from Parks Canada. The new legislation comes after Ottawa decided in 2011 to stop destaffing manned lighthouses in Canada. Many manned lighthouses, including Entrance Island, were targeted to be fully
automated, but the federal government halted these plans after facing a public backlash. Jim Abram, a director on the Strathcona Regional District, used to be a lighthouse keeper and is a past-president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s Lightkeepers Local 20232. He said the heritage status designation of Entrance Island and the other lighthouses is an “incredible victory” for lighthouse keepers and
the marine community across the country. “This permanently guarantees the integrity of these lighthouse stations,” Abram said. “It’s been a 25-year fight for us and comes after we helped to guarantee that the nation’s remaining manned lighthouses would not be destaffed in 2011.” Abram said having the lighthouses protected under the new legislation is important because
now their structures can’t be removed without specific permission from Ottawa. “It takes away the ability to remove structures that could eventually lead to destaffing of lighthouses like Entrance Island,” Abram said. “But, while this a big victory, I would encourage people to still remain vigilant.

CITY LOG News and notes from around Nanaimo
Construction to begin on new care facility Spencer Anderson Reporting
C
onstruction is expected to begin next week on a 130-bed care facility on Northfield Road for people with dementia. The new, 104,000-square-foot facility will replace Nanaimo Travellers Lodge Society’s existing facility on Nelson Road, which has about 90 beds. The society is holding a barbecue open to the public on Sunday on the site of the future facility (1917 Northfield Rd.) to mark the beginning of construction. The project ran into a hurdle after bids from sub-contractors exceeded the total $34.2-million budget. Approximately 23,000 square feet of administrative and meeting space had to be shaved off the original design, but no care space was lost from the changes and the society was able to get a building permit from the city of Nanaimo last week said vice-chairwoman Janeane Coutu. “Finally it’s happening,” Coutu said, adding the project has been in the works for “easily seven years.” Construction is expected to take 18 months. The facility will open in 2017. The barbecue will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The tours, available this month and next, will draw heavily on the history of Wellington, founded by Robert Dunsmuir as a coal-mining town in the 1870s. “These tours are ideal for people who want to learn more about local history,” says Aimee Greenaway, interpretation curator at the Nanaimo Museum. “You gain an understanding of the culturally diverse population in Wellington because the markers are inscribed in French, Italian and English.”
Many of the headstones mark the graves of miners who perished while working underground. The graves are also divided by religious denomination. “There are over 100 recorded burials in the Wellington Cemetery,” said Greenaway. “But only a few dozen grave markers remain.” The tours are at 10 a.m. on July 16 and Aug. 10. Each tour is 45 minutes, with a cost of $10 per person. Advanced registration is required. Call 250-753-1821.
On the agenda Nanaimo council is slated to hear a staff presentation Monday on a proposal to fully automate the city’s garbage fleet. Mayor and council are considering a whether to pass a measure that would see the city’s fleet of manual garbage trucks — meaning garbage is manually lifted into the trucks by city workers — replaced with trucks that can use a mechanical arm to empty curbside bins.
City staff say while there would be an outright capital cost of millions of dollars, the change would cut down of employee injuries and WorkSafe claims from repetitive lifting. It would also allow the city to bring recycling to an in-house cost, reducing contract costs of more than $660,000 a year. Spencer.Anderson@ nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

July is ‘Meet My Market’ month across the province ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Ilan Goldenblatt wants customers at the Bowen Road Farmers’ Market, and farmers’ markets across B.C., to introduce their friends to the unique shopping experience this month. July is “Meet My Market” month for the more than 125 farmers’ markets in the province represented by The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets. Goldenblatt is the market manager for the Bowen Road Farmers’ Market, a mainly food-only market that operates on Wednesdays, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., from May to October each year in Beban Park. He said that during July, when regular shoppers bring a

friend to their favourite farmers’ market in B.C., they could win a three-night getaway for two to the Sparkling Hill Resort in the Okanagan, among other prizes. “Customers at the farmers’ markets are super loyal and the markets have become a social hub for many as well,” Goldenblatt said. “We’re encouraging them to introduce new people to the markets. Our prices are usually lower than in grocery stores and the produce is usually picked the same day as purchase. They are also huge to the local economies with the money made circulating through surrounding communities rather than being sent to a corporate head office.” During July, customers who
bring a friend to their local farmers’ market can fill out a ballot at their information booths to enter the draw for the stay in the Okanagan. People can also register for the draw on social media by taking a photo at a farmers’ market and post it on most social media by tagging @bcfarmersmarket and adding #MeetMyMarket to enter. People can also enter via the BCAFM Facebook Page. Social media entrants will also be eligible to win one of five weekly random prize draws for $50 to spend at the market of their choice.

Security must come with strong oversight
D
o Canadians expect the police, security services and border guards to share information about possible threats to the country? Of course. We’ve had our share of attacks on Parliament and the military, conspiracies to bomb public sites and other threats. There’s no room for complacency. But our defences are robust, and growing. And on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s watch, an oversight gap has widened that needs to be plugged. Ottawa now spends more than $6 billion a year on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canada Border Services Agency, the prison service and other security agencies. Collectively, they employ 52,000 people. This year’s budget earmarked $300 million more. Yet for all that our security services are forever lobbying to expand their ambit, as the Star’s Alex Boutilier reports.
Just last year CSIS and the CBSA proposed that Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney authorize them to make “specific arrangements” to share personnel and resources, and to swap information, “without the necessity to seek your approval each time,” as CSIS director Michel Coulombe put it in a memo. It’s a troubling revelation. Whatever practical interest CSIS and CBSA may have had in pushing such a change, it risked weakening Blaney’s direct ministerial accountability for and immediate oversight of activities by agencies under his control. And without Parliament’s input or approval. Given the secrecy surrounding the proposal it’s impossible to know whether this was a power grab or an innocuous bit of housekeeping. What Canadians do know for a fact is that the heavy-handed Anti-Terrorism Act that received royal assent last month involves a lot more than housekeeping, and puts us on a slippery slope.
It allows information-sharing on a scale that dwarfs what CSIS and CBSA appear to have been contemplating. And it is a threat to civil rights. It has been roundly decried by former prime ministers, former Supreme Court justices, the Canadian Bar Association and civil libertarians. One poll found that a clear majority of Canadians, 56 per cent, disapprove of the act while just 33 per cent support it. Already, there are calls for it to be rescinded. The new law redefines threats to the “security of Canada” in the broadest possible fashion, potentially snaring all kinds of activists or dissidents. It gives CSIS a sweeping new mandate to actively disrupt threats. It gives judges the power to sanction CSIS violations of Charter rights including privacy, freedom of expression and security of the person. And it lets police arrest and detain people on the thin grounds that they believe a crime “may” occur.
It also authorizes not only CSIS and the CBSA but also the RCMP and other security services to share Canadians’ personal information with no fewer than 100 government ministries and agencies listed in the federal Privacy Act. That list runs the gamut from the justice department and the military to Canada Revenue, the Toronto Port Authority, the High Arctic Research Station, the Canadian Museum of Immigration, the Nunavut Water Board and the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, to cite a few. It’s overreach that puts personal privacy and data at risk. This relentless expansion of the security services’ operations — openly through the Anti-Terrorism Act and covertly through interagency deals — is especially worrisome given the Harper government’s stubborn refusal to provide adequate oversight of the nation’s security regime. Unlike the United States, Brit-
ain and other allies, Canada has no mechanism to have Parliament scrutinize the security services’ operations. And while CSIS has credible oversight, CBSA does not. The Senate national security committee recently called for robust civilian oversight of CBSA, plus a complaints watchdog. In the U.S., President Barack Obama’s administration has just brought in legislation that aims to strike a better balance between national security and privacy rights by curtailing unfettered surveillance of phone records. Here in Canada we continue to build up the security state, absent meaningful oversight and accountability. That’s something we ought to talk about in the coming election.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Listen if councillors say emperor has no clothes Re: ‘Political posturing on dams is disappointing’ (Your Letters, Daily News, June 29), Re: ‘Councillors should come together behind majority’(Your Letters, Daily News, June 29) In response to the two letter writers, Louise Gilfoy and Jim Taylor, who complain that the majority on council should followed and not be questioned, my only comment is that perhaps Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Diane Brennan, Ian Thorpe and Wendy Pratt are trying to tell us that the Emperors have no clothes. If that’s the message, they should be heard. Cindy Lowry Nanaimo
Urgent push to spend on dams makes no sense I am certain that most people do not understand the latest developments in this long, drawn-out saga. Most recently, the provincial authority has placed an order directing the city to choose an option for remediation of the lower dam
this year. Considering the Dams Safety Branch accepted studies that were obviously and seriously flawed and are now insisting work be done without proper investigation, we are skeptical. The options that are currently being considered involve an emergency spillway, which would handle twice the flow of the existing spillway which has proved quite adequate for over a century. The costs stated are between $3 million and $8 million. The allowance of time for gathering of valid information has been of major benefit. We now know that the dams do not pose a risk to the public in the event of an earthquake. However, we do not know how it would react in a flood event. The responsible thing to do would be to acquire this information. The majority of council supported a stay and appeal of this order. They have also put forward a proposal that should satisfy the province and comply with the necessary standards. The proposal is to have work completed at the middle dam this year with further investigation of the lower dam to assess what is needed. Any work deemed necessary would be completed by the end of 2017.
The mayor and water comptroller do not support this proposal. As rash decisions made under duress with inadequate or incorrect information has cost our city dearly, I question why there remains such an urgent push to spend millions before determining a proper understanding of the problem. Jeff Solomon Nanaimo
City needs strong voice to end the dams fiasco In B.C., a bureaucracy exists whose object is to, well, control water. And be active in checking small dams on private farms. If it is at all conceivable that the dam overflow could do damage, destroy it. The water behind this method may be the only source of water for the survival of farm animals. But that’s inconsequential. A couple of years ago the comptroller of this branch declared that the century-old Colliery dams and system could be destroyed if a major earthquake occurs. So let’s beat the earthquake, destroy ’em now.
The council of the day obediently started the destruction process but more sane voices challenged this decision. After the Nanaimo taxpayers spent millions of dollars challenging this demand, the B.C. water controller’s mind changes —the dam was OK. But they had to find something wrong — the lower spillway could cause a problem — although there appears to be no noted problem in the past century. Will the comptroller admit error? Should their semi-substantiated ruling be overruled, it could cause damage to the bureaucracy’s power and prestige. Our city council is vacillating, stalling, incapable of decision. Nanaimo needs a strong voice who will stop this costly fiasco. Who has the courage to fight? D. F.

Nanaimo sets another temperature record SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
T
he summer heat wave continued Thursday with another high temperature record in Nanaimo and nine other B.C. communities. Environment Canada released the records Friday, although they have yet to be verified. According to the data, Nanaimo posted a peak temperature of 33.8 degrees Celsius, beating the previous July 2 record of 32.8 C from 1942. The city also recorded its warmest June on record last month. The long spate of heat is having consequences on daily life. On Friday, the province announced a Level 4 drought rating for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, including a temporary ban on angling in the Nanaimo River and a host of other fish-bearing streams in the region. BC Hydro also issued a news release indicating higher temperatures have prompted residents to crank up the air conditioning. The crown corporation says it recorded a 10 per cent increase in power consumption during the peak hourly load on Sunday compared to the previous week. Sue Abermann, executive director at the Kiwanis Village seniors complex, said her staff follow a “hot weather protocol” to ensure residents in long-term care remain cool and healthy during the heat, including switching to cool snacks, keeping building windows and drapes closed and keeping residents hydrated. “(But) we don’t curtail activities because it’s actually nice for people to get under a tree and get outside,” she said. Beaches and parks in Nanaimo have been packed, as some try to take advantage of the unusually warm weather. Some took refuge in the shade. Rebecca Derry and Craig Doherty were among them. “We were in Central America

in March and that was right on the equator, and that was too hot to do anything,” said Derry, who advocates for a “do as little as possible” strategy for keeping cool. “It’s still pretty hot here,” said Doherty, who cited cold showers and cinemas as a way to stay out of the heat.
Monika Meister is not perturbed by the rising mercury. “I guess I’m a heat person,” she said. “I’ve never had problems with the heat actually, more of the cold.” “Right now it’s fine, it’s windy. You don’t even feel the heat,” she said. Nanaimo Fire Rescue urged
residents to use caution and drink plenty of fluids, use sunscreen and dispose of cigarettes safely. More extreme heat is expected for the region this weekend. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

Winnipeg lawyer injured by bomb sent to office
◆ BOUCHERVILLE, QUE.
Trio of men found dead tied to prior shooting
STEVE LAMBERT THE CANADIAN PRESS
A bomb sent to a Winnipeg law firm seriously injured a lawyer whose boyfriend was disbarred earlier this week for misappropriating client funds. Winnipeg police were trying to put together the pieces of a puzzle Friday after an explosion left Maria Mitousis, a 35-year-old family law associate and community volunteer, in hospital. “We have no reason to believe this is an attack on the justice system,” Police Supt. Danny Smyth told reporters. “We’re not considering this to be a general threat to lawyers, law firms or the general public. We’re treating this right now as a very specific crime.” Police say Mitousis was alone at the small firm — Petersen King — just south of downtown Friday morning when an explosive device that had been sent to the office went off. Police would not comment on her injuries, but one source who spoke to The Canadian Press on condition of anonymity said Mitousis lost a hand and was in danger of losing the other one. After the blast, police went to the downtown law firm where she had worked until last fall — Monk Goodwin — and workers were removed as a precaution. Mitousis’s boyfriend, Barry Gorlick, had worked at that firm before being disbarred Monday on 15 counts of professional misconduct. Smyth said police “were aware” of the connection to Gorlick and media coverage of his misdeeds, but stressed they had no suspects and no motive yet for the bombing. They were not certain whether Mitousis was the intended target. Petersen King is described as a boutique family law firm on the Internet.

‘Yes’ and ‘No’ camps fight for Greek votes Sunday poll asks if citizens will accept creditors’ proposals DEREK GATOPOULOS AND MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS — On a night filled with emotion and packed city squares, naysaying Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his “yes” vote rivals made their final pitches Friday at bailout referendum rallies, as polls showed the two sides in a dead heat. More than 40,000 people gathered at the two rallies, a kilometre apart, before Sunday’s vote on whether to accept creditors’ proposals for more austerity in exchange for rescue loans, or reject the deal as a show of defiance against years of harsh economic austerity. “This is not a protest. It is a celebration to overcome fear and blackmail,” Tsipras told a crowd of 25,000 in front of parliament, who were chanting oxi, oxi— “no, no.” Meanwhile, police said about 17,000 people gathered outside the nearby Panathenian stadium for the “yes” rally, waving
Greek and European Union flags and chanting “Greece, Europe, Democracy.” Rallies for both campaigns were also held in 10 other Greek cities Friday. Tsipras is gambling the future of his five-month-old left wing government on Sunday’s snap poll — insisting a “no” vote will strengthen his hand to negotiate a third bailout with better terms. But the high-stakes standoff with lenders this week saw Greece default on debts, close banks to avoid their collapse, and lose access to billions of euros as an existing bailout deal expired. At the “no” rally, Athens resident Maria Antiniou held a handmade sign, reading “oxi.” “We have to strengthen Tsipras. It’s not his fault we are bankrupt,” she said. “He doesn’t have the mandate to take tougher measures and now we are giving that to him. It’s not true this is a vote on the euro. It’s a vote to change course and stay in the euro, and Tsipras is our best hope,” she said.
That is a message the “yes” voters refuse believe. Evgenia Bouzala, a Greek born in Germany, said she was considering shutting down her olive oil export business because of the financial turmoil. “I don’t think we can keep going. Look at what happened in the last three days. Imagine if that lasts another six months,” she said. “A ’yes’ vote would bring a caretaker government and that would probably be better ... We have to start over.” The drama remained high in the final hours of campaigning. The country’s top court stayed in session till the late afternoon before rejecting a petition to declare the referendum illegal, while party leaders, personalities, and church elders weighed in with impassioned pleas to vote “no” or “yes” on the airwaves and social media. In a rare public declaration, 16 former armed forces leaders wrote an appeal to citizens to show “calm and national unity.”
The deaths of three men found in a home set ablaze south of Montreal are possibly the result of a murder-suicide and are linked to a shooting north of the city, police said Friday. A man in his 50s and a 30-yearold woman were shot around 6 p.m. Thursday in the office of a law firm in Terrebonne, just north of Montreal. Police said the shooting victims remained in critical condition. Officers then discovered the bodies of the men just after midnight Friday in a Boucherville home that had been set ablaze. Longueuil police spokesman Tommy Lacroix said the bodies are likely those of a father and his two sons but he wouldn’t confirm the information because the corpses had not been officially identified. Lacroix said investigators found a large quantity of fire accelerant in the home, leading them to believe the fire was set deliberately, “but that remains to be determined.”
◆ QUEBEC
Quebec economy doing well: Provincial minister Despite predictions that Canada is headed for recession, Quebec is in a good position to withstand the economic turbulence because of lower oil prices and a dropping dollar, Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said Friday. The first quarter of the current fiscal year was positive for the Quebec economy and the next three months should be even better, he said. “No question of a recession in Quebec,” Leitao said during a conference call with reporters. “The economy is doing better than last year. We see an acceleration in growth.” Statistics Canada reported dismal gross domestic product numbers this week — with April being the fourth straight month showing decline. That led to both Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Desjardins predicting that Canada will soon officially be in a recession, which is defined by two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction.

Japan will likely have to battle the crowd as well as the U.S. in Sunday’s Women’s World Cup final at B.C. Place Stadium. American fans have been a common sight in Vancouver during the tournament, whether the U.S. was playing there or not. The proximity to the border and Vancouver’s many attractions have made it a popular destination for American soccer fans. StubHub, which offers secondary ticket sales, said Friday that 89 per cent of its ticket sales for the final were made by American buyers compared to eight per cent for Canada, two per cent for Britain and one per cent for Japan. The face value of tickets for the final was $50, $85, $125 and $165. But a ticket for the final on the StubHub site averaged US$427, although a spokesman said tickets had sold as low as $77 and as high as $2,199 as of Friday.
British Columbia’s health minister says he wants the province’s ombudsman to review the controversial firings of eight government health researchers. Terry Lake said Friday that he has begun the process to have newly appointed ombudsman Jay Chalke review the dismissal process. Lake has been under pressure by the fired drug researchers and the Opposition New Democrats to call a public inquiry instead but he and Premier Christy Clark have said that option would be too expensive and time consuming. However, the NDP has raised concerns about Chalke’s ability to conduct an impartial review of the firings considering that Chalke had recently served as an assistant deputy minister in the Justice Ministry. A report last year concluded an investigation that led to the firings was flawed from the start.
The government has awarded a $7.6-million contract to a Delta company to build 27 vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard. Ottawa has been criticized for its 2013 closure of a coast guard station on Vancouver’s waterfront and the spill of 2,700 litres of bunker fuel into English Bay in April. National Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynn Findlay making the announcement said the Tories have invested more in the Fisheries Department’s assets than any other government Zodiac Hurricane Technologies Inc. will construct 18 station-based and nine ship-based inshore-rescue boats that will be used across Canada. The company’s website says it is the largest manufacturer of professional rigid inflatable boats. The Fisheries Department says the vessels will be part of a fleet for search and rescue operations and conservation efforts.
All ďŹ shing in streams on south Island shut down BETH LEIGHTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A relentless heat wave and the soaring risk of more wildfires across British Columbia have forced the government to take extraordinary steps to preserve water and suspend fishing in parts of the province while imposing a total ban on open burning. The Forests Ministry has announced a Level 4 drought rating for southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, meaning water supplies are insufficient to meet the needs of communities and ecosystems. All fishing has been suspended in streams and rivers in that area because of low river levels and high water temperatures.

Steve Thomson said Friday in a news release. Usually moist Haida Gwaii, as well as Metro Vancouver, the Sea to Sky and Sunshine Coast areas, the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon are all at a Level 3 drought rating, requiring residents to try and cut water use by another 20 per cent over regular reductions. Metro Vancouver has responded to the record-breaking heat wave by moving the region to the second stage of its fourstage plan to handle water shortages. Lawn sprinkling is now only permitted in the morning and should be restricted to once per week, while all commercial and public fountains and water features must be turned off. Only water parks with user-activated switches are allowed, while health and safety are the only permitted reasons for private or commercial washing of driveways, sidewalks and parkades. Earlier on Friday, the Forests Ministry took the rare step of imposing a prov-

Thomson said the ban will remain in effect until further notice and covers everything from campfires to fireworks, tiki torches and even exploding targets used for rifle practice. “Given the hot and dry conditions in most of the province, we are implementing this provincewide campfire ban to help protect our communities.� Only the area known as the fog zone, a narrow strip along the extreme west coast of Vancouver Island, is exempt. Gas, propane or briquette cooking stoves, as well as CSA-approved portable campfire systems with flames of 15 centimetres or less are still allowed, but the province says that could change if dry conditions persist. “We currently have 172 fires burning in the province,� Thomson said. “The long-term strategic outlook projects we will have 250 to 300 new wildfires over the next 10 days, well above the normal average for the same period.

Toronto flights are cancelled and delayed by airport labour dispute Union does not condone action and says that airlines have created the problem ROSS MAROWITS THE CANADIAN PRESS
Scores of passengers saw their plans disrupted Friday when about 100 flights at Toronto Pearson International Airport were cancelled and many others delayed as a result of an apparent protest by workers facing job losses when a refuelling contract changes hands later this year. A union spokesman says 30 of 47 workers scheduled for the Friday morning shift called in sick, while others refused to work overtime. About 20 of 56 workers showed up in the afternoon with one shift remaining to provide fuel for the rest of the day’s flights, said Bill Trbovich of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. “Basically these guys are all going to lose their jobs Oct. 1 and so I think frustration is the key phrase,” said Trbovich. “It’s one of those cases of they took matters into their own hands. We sure as hell don’t condone this but the airlines are the ones that started this.” A number of airlines are switching their refuelling business to Aircraft Service Inter-

national Group in Toronto as of Oct. 1 and have already moved to Swissport in Montreal as of July 1. Trbovich said employees of Consolidated Aviation Fueling Services will have to apply for the same type of job at ASIG at lower wages and with no pension. Workers currently earning between $18 and 23 per hour will
start at minimum wage up to a high of $14. Consolidated Aviation Fueling didn’t return calls seeking comment. The union said it has encouraged workers to return to work. Trbovich said there is no indication the work disruption will continue Saturday. “We put out bulletins saying
this was unlawful and that you can have consequences if you persist in this,” Trbovich said, pointing to possible dismissal or jail time. The Canada Industrial Relations Board is set to hear the union’s unfair labour practices complaint in early September. The Greater Toronto Airport Authority said 95 flights were cancelled as of the late afternoon, accounting for about 11.2 per cent of the 842 daily departures. Other flights were delayed. Pearson spokeswoman Shabeen Hanifa said passengers should check their flight status online, but wouldn’t say how many airlines were affected. Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said the dispute is between the airlines’ current refuelling company and its Toronto workers. “Delays and cancellations can be expected as a result and passengers should check on the status of their flight before getting to the airport,” he said in an email. WestJet spokesman Robert Palmer said the shortage of fuel workers means it is taking longer to have its aircraft refuelled.

Dalai Lama to turn 80 while at summit in U.S. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVINE, Calif. — It won’t be a small, private affair when the Dalai Lama celebrates his 80th birthday this weekend in southern California. Hundreds of well-wishers are expected at a three-day Global Compassion Summit to mark the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader’s big day, with events Sunday
through Tuesday at Anaheim’s Honda Center and the University of California, Irvine. The Dalai Lama himself plans to deliver talks all three days on global compassion, creativity and the arts, youth leadership and climate change. His actual birthday is on Monday. Guests at the event can’t bring gifts for security reasons. Not everyone, however, is
thrilled with the celebration. The International Shugden Community plans protests outside all events similar to ones conducted last month in London when the Dalai Lama opened a Buddhist centre there. The group’s members accuse him of preventing them from following their form of Buddhism, which he once practiced but renounced in the 1970s.
The Dalai Lama was born to farmers in a rural and mountainous area of Tibet. He was identified as the 14th reincarnation of the Buddhist nation’s spiritual leader when he was just 2. He was enthroned in 1940 and assumed full political power in 1950. He fled to India during an uprising against Chinese forces in 1959 and has been in exile ever since.

Europe sizzles as heat hits 40 C in some areas Europeans struggled Friday to find relief from unusually high temperatures, but the UN weather agency said the continent is better prepared than ever to avoid major heat casualties. From Spain to Poland, temperatures have climbed as a mass of hot air from Africa has pushed northward. Some cities have seen temperatures near or beyond 40 degrees Celsius, and they’re expected to stay high through the weekend. Experts, meanwhile, were assessing the possible effects of climate change on the heat wave. “Man-made global warming greatly increases the number of such heat waves,” Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research said in a statement, citing Europe’s heat wave and others in Pakistan, India and the western U.S. Others said it was too early to tell.

Vietnam Communist Party chief to visit U.S. The powerful head of Vietnam’s Communist Party will travel to the United States for the first time next week, and said he expects President Barack Obama will visit Vietnam later this year. Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said Friday he hopes to build trust and create more opportunities to improve relations between one-time foes as they mark the 20th anniversary of normalized diplomatic ties. They are also being brought closer together by shared concerns over China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea. The White House said Trong would arrive on Tuesday, and the leaders would discuss trade, human rights and defence co-operation. Both Vietnam and the United States are seeking to strengthen their relationship as a way of dealing with strategic and economic challenges.

Russia will consider new selective retaliatory measures against some specific Western countries, the nation’s security chief said Friday, pointing at Finland as a possible target. The tough statement appears to herald a new round in spiralling Russia-West confrontation over Ukraine. It followed a session of Russia’s Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin, who vowed to firmly resist Western pressure and ordered to draft a new response. Russia may, for example, revise favourable conditions for Finnish timber traders in response to Helsinki’s refusal to issue a visa to the Russian lower house speaker, the council’s secretary, Nikolai Patrushev said. He added in televised remarks that Russia wouldn’t necessarily make the move, but wants to consider this and other retaliatory measures.

Outrage as Bernardo asks to get day parole
Solar powered plane flies non-stop Hawaii to Japan
LIAM CASEY AND CARA MCKENNA THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Paul Bernardo has applied for day parole in Toronto, though lawyers say he has almost no chance of succeeding. The lawyer for the families of Bernardo’s murder victims, 14-yearold Leslie Mahaffy and 15-year-old Kristen French, said Correctional Service Canada sent out a form letter to the families last week advising them of his application. It is Bernardo’s right to apply for day parole three years before he is eligible for full parole on his life sentence, but this has left families of both girls devastated, even though they knew this day was coming, said their lawyer Tim Danson. “It is 22 years after the fact for my clients,” Danson said. “It was — I don’t even know what words to use — but really upsetting for them. It just brings everything back and they have to re-live things.” He has told the families that there is no chance Bernardo will ever see the outside world again, that this is simply part of the process. Bernardo was sentenced to life with no chance for parole for 25 years for raping and murdering Mahaffy and French. He was also given dangerous offender status, the most severe designation in Canadian law, for admitting to raping 14 other women and other charges related to Mahaffy and French. Dangerous offenders can be imprisoned indefinitely. Danson said he received the letter on June 25 and
fuel. Instead, its wings were equipped with 17,000 solar cells that charged batteries. The plane ran on stored energy at night. The engineless aircraft landed in silence, the only sound the hum of a nearby helicopter. About 200 people, including the media, witnessed the touch-down shortly before 6 a.m. Later in the morning, Borschberg called the flight an extraordinary experience, saying it marked historical firsts for aviation and for renewable energy. “Nobody now can say that renewable energies cannot do the impossible,” he said. Asked what was the most challenging part
AUDREY MCAVOY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KAPOLEI, Hawaii — A plane powered by the sun’s rays landed in Hawaii Friday after a record-breaking five-day journey across the Pacific Ocean from Japan. Pilot Andre Borschberg and his single-seat aircraft landed at Kalaeloa, a small airport outside Honolulu. His nearly 118-hour voyage from Nagoya broke the record for the world’s longest nonstop solo flight, his team said. The late U.S. adventurer Steve Fossett set the previous record of 76 hours when he flew a specially-designed jet around the globe in 2006. But Borschberg flew the Solar Impulse 2 without
of the journey, he said it was when he and fellow Swiss co-pilot Bertrand Piccard had to decide when exactly to leave Japan, which he called a tough decision. Ground crews pushed the plane toward a hangar, where a celebratory attitude waited along with leis and hula dancers. The plane’s ideal flight speed is about 28 mph though that can double during the day when sun’s rays are strongest. The carbon-fiber aircraft weighs over 5,000 pounds or about as much as a minivan or mid-sized truck. The project, which began in 2002 is meant to highlight the importance of renewable energy.

has been corresponding with the authorities since then. It’s rare for people convicted of first-degree murder to also be designated dangerous offenders, since first-degree murder already carries a life sentence. Danson believes the dangerous offender designation must be dealt with first, rather than the murder charges. “There is a process that’s set up for dangerous offenders to persuade the parole board that you’re no longer a dangerous offender, which is different criteria than normal parole board criteria,” he said. “That must be dealt with first.” He said the authorities are working with him to figure out the proper process. Michael Mandelcorn, president of the Canadian Prison Law Association,
which advocates for prisoners’ rights, said the stigma of a dangerous offender designation inhibits any chance of parole. “There’s a huge amount of time that goes by before somebody normally gains a release on a dangerous offender designation,” said the Kingston, Ont.-based lawyer. “ And those people are few and far between.” While Mandelcorn has never worked with Bernardo, he said it’s unlikely he will be able to convince a parole board that he’s not at risk to re-offend. “He’s now in a maximum security institution. The normal chain of events is that you have to cascade downwards,” he said. “He needs correctional services’ support, he needs halfway house support. At this stage I would very much doubt that he has either.”

Whitecaps ink top Nanaimo coach VIU Mariners manager will head up the Major League Soccer club’s upper Vancouver Island academy ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
the Whitecaps’ residency squad and subsequently its first team in the long run. Both Merriman and Whitecaps director of soccer development Dan Lenarduzzi have said negotiations between the two parties have been going on for more than a year. “I’m really pleased about what’s happening with soccer here and look forward to teaming up with the Whitecaps,” said Merriman. “I felt this was the best way to create that streamlined pathway for players.” The VIU Mariners men’s coach will now also be tasked to scout players throughout the Upper Island region to join the academy.
“It’s about helping to develop players and getting them to a level where they can move on to the residency squad and the first team eventually — that’s our number one goal.” Right now, the academy will only run camps for the players invited, but Merriman says he has hopes of creating competitive teams and fixtures next year. He says he will also call on the likes of Victor Blasco to come the academy to help inspire the players. Blasco played under Merriman as part of the Mariners team that finished second at nationals last year and then moved on to the Whitecaps FC 2 team.
“I’ve always really enjoyed developing youth players and helping them get to the next level. Ever since I’ve been in Nanaimo, that’s always been my goal,” Merriman said. Lenarduzzi described Merriman as an icon of Island soccer. “Since the Island academy was created three years ago, we’ve always known of Bill’s prominence and his own program,” said Lenarduzzi. “He’s very well respected, the timing was now right and we’re excited to have him on board.”
One of Vancouver Island’s most prominent soccer coaches will now team up with the biggest club in western Canada. Bill Merriman has been announced as Vancouver Whitecaps’ Upper Island head coach for the club’s Island Academy Centre, which runs out of Nanoose Bay as well as Nanaimo. Merriman will now roll his current Merriman Soccer program into the Whitecaps academy and work with players from as young as eight years old all the way up to 17. The primary objective of the academy is to create a streamlined develop-
ment process for players who will potentially be part of the Vancouver Island Wave setup in the B.C. Soccer Premier League initially vefore moving on to

Shirin Anjarwalla, 15, finished in a tie for seventh place at the B.C. Women’s Amateur golf championship on Friday in Duncan. With a four-round score of 298 (10 over par), she was the top 15-year-old in the tournament, with the players who finished ahead of her at least a year older. “I felt pretty good about it,” Anjarwalla said after the tournament. “I played pretty well in the last two rounds, so I’m happy with my finish.” Anjarwalla sat in 23rd place after the first two rounds after shooting a 79 on opening day and 76 on Day 2. But she was able to turn it around on Thursday, shooting 70 on Thursday and 73 Friday. “I was playing a little bit more conservative,” Anjarwalla said, “and I didn’t have any high numbers. “I think I knew the course pretty well for all four rounds but I just didn’t make the mistakes that I did in the first two rounds in the second two.” She finished 10-over par for the tournament, 13 shots away from the championship, which was won by Surrey 17-year-old Michelle Kim at three-under par. Next up for Anjarwalla, last year’s B.C. juvenile champion — is the junior girls championship at Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victoria It is a four-round tournament for golfers 18 years old and under, so it will be much of the same competition for Anjarwalla at the top of the leaderboard. “I’m expecting myself to play pretty well,” she said. I’m hitting the ball well and my putts are rolling well, so I think that I have a really good chance to do well at that tournament.” Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Nanaimo athletes, B.C. champions, will compete in Colombia SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

wo nanaimo track stars will join Team Canada in competition at the International Association of Athletics Federation’s World Youth Championships in Cali, Colombia in two weeks. Wellington’s Alyssa Mousseau will be on the Canadian team running the 800-metre women’s race at the competition while Jason Clare of NDSS will be in the pole vault competition. Both Nanaimo Track Club members, Grade 11 students, were crowned champions at the recent B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley on June 8. Mousseau, in addition to her silver with the Wellington women’s relay team, took gold in the senior women’s 800-metre run with a time of 2:09.04 at provincials, more than five seconds quicker than the second-place finisher. “It’s going to be huge,” Mousseau said. “It’s the biggest competition that people can go to at our age. It’s going to be very intense and it’s going to be really professionally done, so it’s going to be a lot different than a lot of the meets that I’ve been to.” Clare won his provincial gold medal in the senior men’s pole vault event with a 4.65-metre heave. “It was one of those things that I had as a goal for a while, so it was pretty exciting when I got to see the official list. It was big.” The trip for the Nanaimo athletes is fully funded by Athletics Canada, the federal governing body for track and field. The competition is for athletes 17 years old and younger, and the Canadian team is comprised of 47 athletes — 26 female and 21 male — from across the country. Mousseau said she is unsure what talent of her competition will look like, so she will simply look to run her fastest. “I’m hoping to get a (personal best), so 2:08 or under,” she said, “but I don’t really know how

school provincials, his marking being top two in Canada. “I want to hit finals and be in the top 12,” Clare said. But competing at the Youth World Championships will be an experience he hasn’t see before, although he is excited to take it all in. “It will be way bigger,” Clare said, comparing it to other events he has competed in. “I’ve never competed on anything close to a world stage, so it’s going to be big.”
It’s another game day, and yet another chance to snap a losing streak for the Nanaimo Timbermen as they host the Langley Thunder at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. The Timbermen, sitting in the bottom of the Western Lacrosse Association with a 2-7 record, have lost seven straight games and are six points out of a playoff spot. Nanaimo head coach Kaleb Toth continues to look for ways out of his team’s slump, which came unexpected after the Timbermen handed the firstplace Victoria Shamrocks their only two losses of the season on the league’s opening weekend. So what is it going to take to finally win another game? “I wish I knew,” Toth said. Hard work usually tends to get you out of things like this, but we haven’t been playing with intelligence.” The Timbermen haven’t come within three goals of a win since blowing a 6-0 lead on the road June 9 on the road against the Burnaby Lakers, where they lost 8-7. “It’s tough,” Toth said of trying to keep morale up. “The guys are starting to get down, but we just try to keep reminding the group that we believe in them and that we saw what they did early in the year.” The lone bright spot as of late has been second overall draft pick Eli McLaughlin, who has posted 12 points in his last three games including a six-point night against the Coquitlam Adanacs two weeks ago. The Timbermen are led in scoring by sophomore Brody Eastwood, who now has 25 points in nine games. Nanaimo product Mitch Parker is second on the team with 24 points.

Ottawa Redblacks can make history by beginning the season with two victories THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks would love nothing more than to make a little history in their home opener Saturday night against the B.C. Lions. After winning their season opener against the Montreal Alouettes, the Redblacks (1-0) have an opportunity to win a second straight game — something that eluded them in their inaugural season. Winning in Montreal was also a first for the Redblacks, who did not post a road victory last year. It has them brimming with confidence as they prepare to host the Lions. “We want to take the momentum from last week,” said receiver Chris Williams. “Every time you’re coming off a win you’re feeling good about yourself.” Trailing early in the fourth quarter, Ottawa was able to take advantage of its opportunities and didn’t relinquish the lead once they had it. “We knew we had it in us, I guess we just had to see it on the field,” added Williams. “Now guys really know what type of team we really have because we didn’t really play that well in the first half, but we just kept fighting and I think it was a big boost for us.” The Redblacks were 0-2 against B.C. last season, but wide receiver Ernest Jackson is now a member of the home team. Last season, he burned Ottawa with a career-high nine-catch, 195-yard receiving performance in a 41-3 B.C. rout. “I’m going to go out there like

I think we just need to come out calm and composed and I know guys will be excited, but we need to stay focused when we’re between the lines and everything else will take care of itself.” Redblacks backup quarterback Brad Sinopoli has also been looking forward to this game since signing with the team as a free agent last winter. The former University of Ottawa pivot has fond memories of playing at TD Place. “It’s going to be special,” said
Sinopoli. “It’s already been pretty cool. The stadium looks a little different than when I played here and I’m really looking forward to it.” Notes: The Redblacks will make a number of changes to their lineup for Saturday’s game. Defensive lineman Andrew Marshall will replace defensive end Connor Williams, linebacker Malik Jackson takes over from Travis Brown, defensive back Brandon Thompson is in for Jermaine Robinson and Jock Sanders is in for running back Jeremiah Johnson. The Redblacks are looking for their 10th straight sellout.

Injured Ranoic knocked out of Wimbledon THE CANADIAN PRESS
LONDON — A year after making the Wimbledon semifinal, a banged-up Milos Raonic made an early exit at the All England Club on Friday by dropping a four-set decision to flamboyant Aussie Nick Kyrgios. The star player from Thornhill, Ont., who had foot surgery in May, said he was hurting “all over” by the end of his 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (3), 6-3 third-round defeat. The seventh-seeded Raonic was clearly suffering as the match went on. He called his foot the

“I still have some discomfort in my feet, so compensations and stuff like this just make any pain pretty much come up.

PRESENTATION AND INTERACTIVE Q AND A WITH FEEDBACK OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PUBLIC
Connor McDavid played 66 junior games for the Erie Otters this season and seven more at the world junior championship. Even when the hockey stopped, there was more to do. McDavid went to Quebec City for the CHL awards, Buffalo for the NHL scouting combine, Edmonton for a visit and then South Florida for the NHL draft. This week, he’s back in Edmonton for the Oilers development camp, his first time on the ice in that orange and blue, and on Friday agreed to terms on his threeyear entry-level contract. Amid all the excitement of a new chapter, McDavid’s father is looking forward to his youngest son going home to Newmarket, Ont., next week and resuming life as a normal teenager. “He’s had such a busy schedule the last, oh gosh, I can’t even tell you when he’s had any real significant downtime,” Brian McDavid said in a phone interview this week. “I’m really looking forward to next Tuesday when he gets back and he can sort of resume some semblance of a normal schedule, as normal as it ever gets for him where he can sort of be around, see his friends, get up to the cottage with us on the weekends.” McDavid has had a spotlight on him for years, which helped prepare the McDavid family for the circus that was coming. His father said he was fortunate to know some people who played in the NHL, so the whirlwind of events even after Connor’s junior career wasn’t a surprise. “It sort of just goes with the territory,” Brian McDavid said. “It’s cool, mind you, I have to tell you that. It’s very cool. But it’s not shocking all the things that are happening.” Talked about as the next Sidney Crosby or Wayne Gretzky, McDavid has looked poised at every turn of this journey. Television cameras may have caught an unflattering look on his face when the Oilers won the draft lottery, but the reserved, genuine 18-year-old insisted that was no slight to the team lucky enough to draft him. A couple of weeks ago, the McDavid family got a tour of Rexall Place and the new Rogers Place, which is set to open for the 2015-16 season. Brian McDavid said the new facilities are “outstanding.” Edmonton’s downtown is on the rise just in time for the “Next One” to burst onto the scene. Under new president Bob Nicholson, general manager Peter Chiarelli, coach Todd McLellan and with a revamped roster, the Oilers might be, too. “Connor’s probably said it better than anybody: There’s no bad places to play in the NHL,” Brian said. “He’s realizing his dream, and he’ll be treated well and he’ll live in a good place. Yeah I think he’s going to be more than fine.”

Wiggins not joining Canada at Pan Am Games
Alouettes blast Stampeders 29-11
LORI EWING THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Between conflicts with the NBA summer league and contract negotiations, most of the marquee names are missing from Canada’s basketball tryout roster for the Pan American Games. Anthony Bennett, Andrew Nicholson and Sim Bhullar are the only three players with NBA experience on Jay Triano’s roster announced Friday. Among the noteable absentees: Andrew Wiggins, Tristan Thompson and Kelly Olynyk. “Long-term, that’s more important to us: the fact that they earn contracts in the NBA, they play at the highest level possible, and then represent Canada when the tournaments count in the summer time,” said Triano, Canada’s head coach. “It’s not ideal for what we were hoping for, but there’s not much we can do about it. “All of our best basketball players are still playing basketball, and that’s the most important thing.” Triano had hoped to have as close to identical rosters as he could for the Pan Am Games, which open next Friday, and the FIBA Americas Olympic qualifying tournament in early September. But several key players such as Wiggins, the reigning NBA rookie of the year with Minnesota, and Olynyk have NBA commitments. “Their teams have said, ’Yeah you could play, but not all summer,”’ Triano said. “They want to do work with their players. They want to make sure that they’re rested. “Those are players that are going to play big roles for the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves.” Thompson, who shone in the NBA playoffs for Cleveland, and Cory Joseph are in the midst of contract negotiations, and so obtaining insurance for them would have been impossible. The players will participate in a six-day tryout July 12-17 at Air Canada Centre, and then Triano will announce his final 12-man roster. Canada had 12 NBA players this past season, the second-highest total behind the United States. Bennett, in Minnesota, and Nicholson in Orlando, have both struggled to find their way in the NBA, and Bhullar made just three very brief appearances for Sacramento in his rookie season. Beyond the NBA content, Triano’s team includes a mixed group of veterans playing in Europe such as Jermaine Anderson and Carl English, and rising young stars such as 18-year-old Jamal Murray. Triano purposefully kept Murray off Canada’s U19 team for the world championships so he could focus on Pan Ams. “He’s taken off as a basketball player,” Triano said of Murray, who will play college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats. “We want to introduce him to our national team and what better way to do that than have him participate in Toronto when we have a major event here?” Triano expects his roster for Olympic qualifying to be significantly different, and said that Canada Basketball will have staff monitoring the players in the summer league in Las Vegas. “The Olympic qualifying tournament, it’s no secret, is a big event for us,” Triano said. “Our veterans know that, our players in the NBA, even the NBA teams know that. That’s why some of have chosen to play in that event and not in the Pan American Games. “At the same time, we’re going to do whatever we can to win a medal at the Pan American Games and to watch these players develop.” The Pan Am men’s basketball competition runs July 21-25 at Ryerson University’s Mattamy Athletic Centre. » We want to hear from you.

Rookie quarterback Rakeem Cato tosses three touchdowns as Montreal rolls to victory BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes look to found their starting quarterback — Rakeem Cato. The rookie stepped into his first CFL game and threw three touchdown passes to lead the Alouettes to a convincing 29-11 victory over the defending Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders on Friday night. He got a lot of help from his defence, who held the Stampeders off the scoreboard until late in the third quarter. Running back Tyrell Sutton was also a big help with 134 yards on 25 carries. But the star of the game for his teammates and the 19,111 fans at Percival Molson Stadium was the 23-year-old Cato. “I don’t get nervous,” said Cato. “I lived a rough life. “I lost my mom. I never seen my father. Those things are hard. Not football. I love the game of football, so every moment I try to have fun with it.” Cato completed 20 of 25 passes for 241 yards, including TD tosses to Samuel Giguere, Cody Hoffman and former Stampeders star Nik Lewis. Boris Bede added three field goals for Montreal (1-1). “He’s an amazing player but now it’s time to build,” Lewis said of Cato. “He’s still learning the offence.” Jon Cornish had a touchdown, Marquay McDaniel added a two-

point convert and Rene Paredes had a field goal for the Stampeders (1-1), who did not get on the board until Paredes’ 28-yard field goal 11:41 into the third quarter. Calgary moved the ball most of the night, but laboured to put up points. They had 309 yards in net offence and McDaniel had 113 receiving yards. “We’re doing a good job of moving the chains, but when it comes to the big plays, we have to make them,” said quarterback Bo Levi
Mitchell. “We’ve all got to look at ourselves in the mirror and look at the film.” The Alouettes were forced to go with a rookie quarterback when both starter Jonathan Crompton and backup Dan LeFevour were hurt in a season-opening loss to Ottawa last week. Coach Tom Higgins opted for Cato over Canadian Brandon Bridge, who had seen his first CFL action against the Redblacks. Both took reps in practice all week and Cato said he didn’t
find out he was the starter until earlier Friday. “He’s a pure passer,” said Higgins. “We thought Brandon would get more snaps, but we have a quarterback who can get the ball to the receivers.” He cautioned that opponents, including Winnipeg next week, would now have tape to watch of Cato’s play and it would get more difficult. Cato led the Alouettes to a touchdown on their first possession. Looking calm and efficient, he went five for five on a 95-yard drive capped by a six-yard TD pass to Giguere. He led another drive for a 23-yard Bede field goal and, on the next-to last push of the first half, marched downfield again for a six-yard touchdown strike to Lewis, who ran over Brandon Smith on his way into the end zone. Cato’s first drive of the second half led to a 16-yard TD pass over the middle to Hoffman. A Bede field goal to open the fourth quarter put Montreal up 25-3, but Mitchell answered with a 63-yard pass to McDaniel that led to Cornish’s score on a oneyard carry at 4:25. Bede added another boot with 2:53 to play. Calgary’s Jeff Fuller, named second star of the week for his 148 receiving yards in the season opener, was scratched with a nagging knee problem. Montreal had Michael Sam on its 46-man roster, but he was dropped when the team cut to 44 players before the game.
NHL
Kings should never allow Voynov’s return
T
his is what it looks like: The Los Angeles Kings terminated the contract of Mike Richards, who has not been charged after reportedly being stopped at a Canadian border town last month on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance without a prescription, yet they gave the use of their training facilities and coaches’ expertise to Slava Voynov, who on Thursday pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of corporal injury to a spouse. There are many things wrong with this picture. Primarily, that it appears the Kings are trying to dump the long and costly contract of Richards, whose performance has declined dramatically the last two seasons, while trying to preserve the career of Voynov, a skillful 25-year-old defenseman whose absence was keenly felt last season as they missed the playoffs. Appearances don’t tell the whole story, and the full picture hasn’t emerged in Richards’ case. The Kings have declined to elaborate on their initial statement that they acted in response to a “material breach of the requirements of his Standard Player’s Contract,” and they haven’t specified which provision(s) they contend he breached. But it’s
Helene Elliott Los Angeles Times certain they consulted with the highest-ranked NHL executives before taking such a drastic step, and that this is far from over. The NHL has closely watched the Voynov case from the outset and suspended him — though with pay — before the news of the Russian defenseman’s arrest in October became public. The Kings suspended him last month because he ruptured his Achilles tendon in a non-hockey incident; the prognosis after his surgery was that he will be ready to go in mid-September. The NHL has said it will conduct its own investigation but has had to wait while Voynov went through the legal system. If the NHL Players Association challenges the termination of Richards’ contract and wins a reversal, the Kings likely would buy him out or otherwise reach a financial settlement. He won’t be back. Voynov shouldn’t be back. His attorney, Rollie Hedges, said Thursday that Voynov
“accepts responsibility for his actions the night of the incident,” a responsibility Voynov had shunned while attorneys representing him and his wife, Marta Varlamova, blamed an accident for the injuries she suffered that night. That statement smacks more of expediency than contrition; a way to escape a felony charge for which he was scheduled to go on trial next week. Does Voynov deserve a second chance? This might have been that second chance. According to court documents, Varlamova told a nurse who treated her that night at Providence Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance that Voynov had previously assaulted her. Does that not count in evaluating his ability to learn from his past mistakes? Those who say it’s punishment enough that Voynov was suspended most of last season and must serve jail time and probation, perform community service and go through a domestic violence prevention program should focus on the nature of the incident. If the Kings give him another chance, they would be making it a “gimme” and diminish its magnitude. Varlamova told Redondo Beach police Voynov punched her in
NHL
the jaw, choked her three times, pushed her to the ground, kicked her and shoved her into the corner of a flat-screen TV, resulting in a 1.2-inch gash above her left eye. He accepted responsibility for his actions, remember? That should not be forgotten. The Kings can terminate his contract, trade him, or keep him with the team. Here’s a vote for one of the first two options. That he’s a top-four defenseman isn’t reason enough to keep him. It’s irrelevant. He doesn’t deserve to wear their uniform and they shouldn’t grant him that privilege. That might become a moot point depending on the results of the NHL’s investigation and if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials decide Voynov’s actions warrant deportation. But the Kings can and should get out in front of the issue by saying they don’t want him to represent a team whose players’ off-ice actions have fallen short of the team’s high on-ice standards the last few seasons. » Helene Elliott is an award-winning sports columnist with the Los Angeles Times and the first female writer ever to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Sabres sign Ryan O’Reilly to seven-year deal Jordan picks Mavericks over staying in L.A. JOHN WAWROW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Buffalo Sabres have made newly acquired forward Ryan O’Reilly their highest-paid player by signing him to a $52.5 million, seven-year contract extension on Friday. The Sabres announced the signing, while two people familiar with discussions revealed the value of the contract to The Associated Press. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres did not disclose the monetary terms. Ryan O’Reilly’s extension kicks in after he completes the final year of his existing contract, which will pay him $6.2 million next season. He will make $11 million in 2016-17 of an extension that runs through the 202223 season. The 24-year-old O’Reilly is regarded a top-line talent and was acquired from Colorado in a trade that involved five players during the first round of the NHL draft on June 26. The Sabres also acquired forward Jamie McGinn, while giving up forward Mikhail Grigorenko, JT Compher, defenceman Nikita Zadorov and the 31st pick of the draft.

“It’s not easy to find a player who, at his age, is already established in the league as someone who plays a complete game and makes his teammates better,” said general manager Tim Murray said in a team statement about O’Reilly. “When we acquired him, we viewed him as someone who could immediately improve our roster, but was still young enough to make an impact for several years to come. “And this contract reflects that belief.”
O’Reilly will get a chance to play alongside rookie centre Jack Eichel, who was selected with the second pick in the draft. O’Reilly had 17 goals and 55 points in 80 games last season. He also led Avalanche forwards in averaging nearly 20 minutes of ice time. The sixth-year player has 90 goals and 246 points in 427 career games. O’Reilly is a key fixture in a rebuilding process for a Sabres team that’s coming off consecutive last-place finishes.
LOS ANGELES — Lob City lost one of its most prominent residents Friday when free-agent center DeAndre Jordan agreed to leave the Los Angeles Clippers for the Dallas Mavericks, spurning the only NBA team he had known to begin a new chapter in his career. Jordan committed to the Mavericks for four years and $80 million, with an opportunity to opt out after the third year, after being wowed by the team’s presentation this week and the relentless wooing of new teammates Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons and Wesley Matthews. “We think he is going to be our best player for years to come,” Mavericks owner Mark Cuban triumphantly told reporters. “A franchise player for the rest of his career.” Jordan, who turns 27 this month, cannot officially sign with Dallas until Thursday, when the league allows signings.

Declarer played low from dummy and scooped the ten to play another club. West rose with the ace and exited with a club, waiting for the inevitable diamond winner, N-S +110. The opening lead was problematic, to be sure, but the the queen of hearts proved to be an effective choice. West would survive if he selected the queen of spades but a diamond would cost a trick. The ace of clubs would not be a consideration as an opening shot. West had been wise to remain silent throughout the auction. No action was suggested when South opened one spade and North’s 1NT response made it clear that East could hold few values and that he undoubtedly owned heart length. A heart contract would not fare well and North is likely to lower the boom with a penalty double. South begins with a top spade, plays the diamond king but shifts to a club. East could be restricted to six tricks where the doubled set would saddle E-W with a matchpoint bottom. Suppose that West doubled two spades. What meaning should East attribute to this call? He should treat this action as a penalty double since West is not in balancing seat.

ease. Spend some quality time with a special person in your life. As a result, you will feel more connected to each other. Tonight: Loosen up with a friend or loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You love celebrations, and today you are likely to go to a party rather than be the host of one. You could be surprised by a loved one’s unexpected actions. You like what you are seeing, and you’ll encourage others to pursue that same course. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Decide to host the July Fourth barbecue this year, and invite all your friends over. Enjoy the moment and maximize what is happening around you. Touch base with a loved one, and make sure that this person is invited. Tonight: Enjoy some burgers! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Understand what is happening. Dive right in and enjoy yourself. Several conversations could be fun and enlightening. Don’t forget to call certain family members and friends before the festivities begin. Tonight: Hop from one happening to another.
ďŹ l here please
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Get into a fun sport with a friend or two. You don’t need to keep all your plans in line with the holiday. Go off and do whatever makes you happy. Someone you meet today might not be exactly who he or she appears to be. Tonight: Be very happy and enjoy the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Suddenly the true you emerges, and others will get a glimpse of your more spirited side. Open up to new possibilities. If you are attached, curb any flirting, as it likely will end in hurt feelings. Get into the spirit of the Fourth of July. Tonight: Your upbeat mood is contagious.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll make a difference where you never thought it would be possible. A loved one responds to you differently from how he or she has in a while. Understand that others have different responses and thought processes. Tonight: Make a gesture toward a friend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be more in tune with the mood and spirit of the day than many people are. Others will be only too happy to participate in the celebrations, especially if you are there. Lighten up the moment, and get into the activity around you. Tonight: All smiles.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t push yourself. Just because everyone else is full of energy does not mean you need to be. Open up to the idea of making the following day a lazy one instead. What is stopping you from saying “no� to an invitation and getting some R and R? Tonight: The party is at your place. YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 4) This year you gain a better understanding of those around you. You often can be found in one-on-one talks with your pals and loved ones. Understand what you are looking for from others. You will gain financially, as you are likely to receive a pay raise or promotion. Others see your value. If you are single, sometime after August, Cupid’s arrow could hit you. You will know when you have met someone who makes you happy. If you are attached, the two of you delight in spending time together. You might make an impulsive decision with your sweetie about your home. AQUARIUS makes you consider a different perspective.

BIOGRAPHY
Nimoy’s son to make ‘Spockumentary’ LUQMAN ADENIYI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Adam Nimoy has found a way to spend countless hours with his late father Leonard Nimoy: He’s creating a documentary for the actor who played Spock on Star Trek. Nimoy said the “Spockumentary” funded through a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $600,000 will focus on the pop icon and his legacy. The TV director and film professor said it would explore his father’s life onscreen and off-screen. For the Love of Spock began as a project for the father and son duo before Leonard’s Nimoy’s death in February at age 83. Nimoy said his father wanted to keep it Spock-centric, but once he passed he knew he had to include more about his father. “I think it’s going to be a nice kind of way just to work through all these feelings I am having and to move on with my own life,” Nimoy said. Nimoy turned to crowdfunding because he wasn’t getting the financial support he expected from studios. The documentary will include clips from the
Star Trek films and TV shows, Nimoy’s other works and interviews from fans and family as well as William Shatner who played Capt. James T. Kirk; J.J. Abrams who directed the 2009 film reboot, and celebrity fans like Seth McFarlane. Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the new movie franchise, will narrate the film. “Dad passed the torch to Zachary. He is the anointed one to carry on the tradition of Mr. Spock and all that entails,” Nimoy said. “He’s now such a part of the tradition that it just seems like he would be a major force to really come up with a dynamic product.” This will be Nimoy’s second project with his dad: He previously produced Leonard Nimoy’s Boston, a documentary about his father’s childhood in Boston. His sister Julie Nimoy announced in April she was partnering with her fiance to create a film on COPD, the disease that killed her father. Nimoy said when he was growing up, his father took on traits of his character and was distant and worked a lot.

Use tact when correcting grammar Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: After living and working for 35 years in a large city, my husband and I were able to return to our hometown to help care for our elderly parents. I reconnected with a high school friend who asked me to work part-time in her large, nationally known family business. One of my duties is to assist my friend with media relations, including press releases, something I handled for years in my previous job. However, when I corrected a press release she had prepared, I could tell she was not happy. The release was poorly written and there were several grammatical errors that would have been embarrassing if published. She asked me a few questions about my corrections, but eventually approved the release. I am now reviewing proofs for a company announcement to be mailed to employees and clients. My friend put an apostrophe “s” in their family name (the Smith’s). When I told her that it

should be “Smiths” to indicate more than one Smith, my friend went ballistic. She said I was nitpicking her work. She said that’s how the invitations were done every year, and it was also how they did the company Christmas cards. I told her they had been wrong every year. Annie, at this point in my life, I don’t need a job, but I enjoy it. The people are wonderful and I know many of their families. But I don’t want my name associated with shoddy work. How do I help my friend understand that my efforts will help her company? — Know the Difference Between You’re and Your Dear Know: Correcting the grammar of an adult is tricky. A lot of people are sensitive and assume the criticism means you think they are stupid. But grammatical and spelling mistakes are, unfortunately, quite common these days. We recommend a little more tact. Tell your friend that you hope she thinks you are good at what you do, and to please allow you to produce your best efforts, because you want her company to look good on paper, as well as in reality. But the final word belongs to her. If she insists on being wrong, your choice is simply to stay or go. Dear Annie: Last year on July 4, you printed a column
about the Liberty Bell. Thank you for the history lesson. I’ve read that the bell was rung gently on D-Day, June 6, 1944. When news of the Allied invasion of France reached Philadelphia, the bell was rung and the sound broadcast over the radio. We must never forget the sacrifice made that day to secure the freedom we enjoy today. — P.S., Henryville, Ind. Dear P.S.: You are correct that the bell was lightly tapped on D-Day. (Also on V-E Day and V-J Day.) The light taps were necessary because the bell had developed several cracks in addition to the famous original. Most of those cracks occurred when the bell was transferred to other cities for special patriotic occasions. The last such transfer was in 1915, after which requests to acquire the bell were refused to minimize the damage. (Souvenir hunters were also known to chip away pieces of the bell.)
