Neighbours turning each other in City staff members field large volume of calls from residents complaining about violations SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Heightened water restrictions have seen the city’s public works and engineering department flooded with calls from residents complaining about alleged watering violations from neighbours and other residents. The city is also fielding a large volume of calls from residents who are confused or have questions on what water restrictions are in place in Nanaimo compared to other jurisdictions, said the department’s director Geoff Goodall. Goodall said the city has been receiving roughly a dozen calls

“We’re getting a lot of calls on this, this is a lot more than normal.“ Geoff Goodall, city engineering director

a day for the past three weeks to the point where the department has had to create a formal letter with help from the bylaw department to send to people who have been accused of not abiding by water restrictions. The city’s Level 2 restrictions limit garden and lawn watering to two days a week, with an all-

out ban on washing driveways and parking lots, with only limited times where vehicle or boat washing is allowed. Goodall said the city seeks voluntary compliance with bylaws as a first measure. If further complaints are received, the city would normally follow up by making direct contact with someone accused of breaking city rules. “But what we found was we just couldn’t respond to all the calls that way,” Goodall said. He said city staff noticed an uptick in call volumes when the province moved to Level 4 drought conditions, which is not

linked to Nanaimo’s own Level 2 watering restrictions. The Regional District of Nanaimo’s own watering restrictions, now at Level 4, are also administered separately and don’t apply to the city. But Goodall said some residents have been confused which rules apply to them. He added the city has been trying “to get the message out” to avoid that confusion. “We’re getting a lot of calls on this, this is a lot more than normal,” he said. Randy Churchill, manager of bylaw services for the city, also said the city is getting “inundated” with calls over watering

restrictions. Churchill said his department is currently investigating five complaints related to watering restrictions. “At this point, we haven’t written a ticket yet . . .” he said. The fine for disregarding watering restrictions in the city is $100. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

Unanimous council vote could signal end to controversial saga SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

N

anaimo city staff members are working on a construction plan and design for the addition of an auxiliary spillway at the lower Colliery dam, after a surprise unanimous vote from council Monday night. The decision puts the city on track to meet a deadline from the B.C. water comptroller to submit the planning and design documents to the province this Friday, avoiding the possibility of large fines or other action being taken against the municipality. The vote Monday also signals the closing of a chapter in city politics that first opened in October 2012, when the previous council voted to remove the lower and middle dam due to safety concerns, sparking public outcry. However, a resolution to the issue has been stymied by dissatisfaction with the process, skepticism of the engineering information and opposition to construction work on the dams and disruption — or “destruction,” as some have called it — of the park. Just last week, a majority of council voted against constructing a new spillway on the lower dam. They argued there was insufficient evidence to suggest the proposed modifications to the structure were necessary — despite repeated warnings from the province. But it appears the threat of action against the city from the province was enough to sway opposition to the plan.

Our View, A4 Coun. Bill Bestwick, one of the council members who voted to defy the provincial order last week, said: “Quite frankly we were left with no option.” He cited “continuous threats” by the province to penalize the city as one of the factors in his decision. “A classic case of the senior levels of government justifying a wasteful expenditure of taxpayers’ dollars on speculation,” Bestwick said in an email. Coun. Gord Fuller said he changed his mind because he had contacts who told him the province was prepared to cancel

the city’s water licence for the structure. “We could have been used as an example,” Fuller said, adding he did not make the decision lightly. “In the past, I have said I would be willing to chain myself to a tree,” he said. Resident Dave Cutts told council Monday he had 40 people “recruited and trained” who were ready to camp out in the park to prevent work to go ahead. Other community members have expressed disappointment with the decision. Jeff Solomon, founder of the Colliery Dams Park Preservation Society, declined an interview and

referred to comments he made on Facebook. “Like many others, I feel confused and torn about the motion that was passed unanimously last night at council,” he wrote. “For me the forced choosing of an option for remediation without first securing the necessary information required is abhorrent.” Mayor Bill McKay said he was “ecstatic” with the decision, calling the issue one of the most “controversial and divisive issues” the city has faced.

CITY

Animal control contract approved Nanaimo Animal Control Services Ltd. put in a lower bid for the job than the city’s current provider City council has approved a $420,200-per-year contract for animal control services over the next three years. On Monday, council approved issuing the contract to Nanaimo Animal Control Services Ltd., which put in a lower bid than the $500,206 proposed by the city’s current service provider, Coastal Animal Control Services of B.C. Ltd. The new contract includes additional cost for an extra animal control officer between the months of May and Sep-

tember to patrol city parks and beaches. The extra position has become “integral” to the city’s animal control program due to increase in owner and pet activity and a growing number of off-leash parks, a city report said. The new contract also comes as the city takes a more active role in enforcing animal welfare. Council also approved new fines Monday on pet owners who leave their dogs in hot cars without proper ventilation, as well as fines for leaving a dog tethered in one place for long-

Police will not pursue theft charges after parrots are taken from refuge

SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

The move Monday to amend a city bylaw to include a fine for owners who leave their dogs in hot cars has been commended by the Nanaimo RCMP after the rescue of a dog by one of their members. On Saturday afternoon, an officer responded to a call of an animal in distress in the north end of Nanaimo. She arrived to find a large German Shepherd mix dog in a car with the windows rolled up. It was in direct heat, with no sign of access to water. Employees in the nearby store, who had called the police, said the dog had been in the car for at least a half-hour. “So the member sees the dog is not in good shape, and she really has a soft spot for dogs,” said Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Gary O’Brien. “The phone number on file for the registered owner of the car doesn’t work, so she realized time was of the essence. So she broke the window, and the dog ran out of the car.” After chasing the animal around the parking lot, it was safely corralled into the officer’s car and transported to a veterinarian. “From there the dog was treated, and they said it was a good job because if the dog’s core temperature had been two degrees hotter he would have had organ failure,” said O’Brien. “The owner eventually came out about 10 minutes later, so about 40 minutes into this call, the owner came out and was very apologetic and didn’t realize the dog had been left in the heat.” The matter has now been turned over to the SPCA for further investigation as to whether further action will be taken against the individual, said O’Brien. At Monday’s Nanaimo council meeting, the Licensing and Control of Animals bylaw was amended to include “Dog without adequate ventilation.” It carries a fine of $500.

er than nine hours, and other leashing offences. City assistant bylaw regulation and security manager Rod Davidson said the tougher dog regulations will not have an impact on the cost of the animal control contract. Davidson said bylaw officers will respond to complaints of dogs in hot vehicles on a “priority-based response system,” meaning the city will not have to add additional staff members to deal with complaints. He said the system will be reviewed at the end of one year, with recommendations to fol-

low after that. The new animal control contract could be effected by possible changes to cat regulations next year. City council has expressed interest in making neutering and spaying of cats mandatory, as well as introducing licensing mandatory registration of cats. The proposed measure has support from groups like the SPCA, but city staff have warned the policy change will result in increased costs. Council is set to embark on a core review later this year and has already decided not

to add new services for the time being, a factor city staff cited when they made their recommendation. However, some on council expressed an interest in exploring the policy further and have asked for a report. Spencer.Anderson@ nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

A

police investigation involving two birds taken from the World Parrot Refuge has been turned over to the SPCA Police said that on Saturday, a person was seen leaving the Coombs facility with two umbrella cockatoos. Staff contacted the Oceanside RCMP, who investigated the incident. On Tuesday the RCMP said it will not prosecute, but instead handed the investigation over to the SPCA. “RCMP have concluded their file, there will be no theft charges,” said Cpl. Jesse Foreman of the Oceanside detachment. “The SPCA has taken over the investigation regarding the parrots.” He said the society will determine “if the birds are going to go back to the parrot refuge centre, and what the course of action is.” The 24,000-square-foot facility provides lifetime care for more than 900 neglected, abused or abandoned birds. The centre was moved to Coombs from Abbotsford around 2003, during an avian flu scare, said Sue Watkins, a director of the non-profit charitable organization, which employs 22 and provides five volunteer positions. “I haven’t slept for three days and I feel like crying,” Watkins said. “It’s been a very stressful few days.” She said she spoke to an SPCA

PARKSVILLE

Water-wasters could now face a $100 fine DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Wasting water can now net you a $100 fine in Parksville. City council gave final approval Monday to a bylaw that authorizes city bylaw officers to ticket residents who fail to comply with the city’s water conservation restrictions. Water use fell by almost half in Parksville even before a comprehensive ban on watering took effect under Stage 4 watering restrictions, July 9. Consumption fell from a

peak of 11,000 cubic metres of water daily through June to 6,000 cubic metres by July 11. “Now it’s creeping back up,” said Deb Tardiff, city communications officer. Daily consumption is currently at about 7,000 metres cubed. The city draws its water from the Englishman River, which is among Island rivers now affected by severe drought conditions. The bylaw makes it a ticketable offence to contravene water conservation regulations. Bylaw offi-

cers have given it top priority. “If somebody is washing their car, we’ll go up and say: ‘Did you know?’ and there will be a warning,” Tardiff said. “If they drive by tomorrow and he’s washing his car again, he’ll get a fine.” The fines are new. Other new fines include obstructing a city employee or officer, worth $400. The City of Parksville is following the comprehensive watering ban introduced by the Regional District of Nanaimo. Level 3 conservation levels allow one hour

watering on alternate days, while Level 4 is an outright ban. Meanwhile, Ladysmith, which is in the Cowichan Valley Regional District, saw water consumption fall 24 per cent since it moved to the CVRD’s version of Stage 3 restrictions — no watering. The City of Nanaimo is at Stage 2, which allows twice-weekly watering. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Colliery Dam decision is far from perfect “Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof.” — James Russell Lowell After a surprise motion landed before Nanaimo council and passed Monday night, the city will move to construct an auxiliary spillway on the lower Colliery dam. Estimated costs for the work is $2.8 million to $4.6 million. The vote came just days before a provincial deadline for council to select upgrades to address safety concerns on the structure. In the end, it came down to one unanimous vote on council that was over is less than a minute; a stark contrast to the years of political turmoil and fuss that has engulfed council and much of the community since late 2012. There will no doubt be anger

from some in the community over this decision, or perhaps even a feeling of betrayal toward those members of council who had indicated they would not budge in the face of the provincial order for the city to complete work on the lower dam by this year. Those suggesting the city has caved to in to the demands of a senior government may have a point. But what was the alternative? Had council continued to flout the provincial order and seek more time, the municipality would have been subject to fines in magnitude of $1 million a day, or removal of the city’s licence to store water behind the structure. The B.C. water comptroller could have even bypassed the city and removed the structure altogeth-

er. Coun. Bill Bestwick summed things up succinctly. “Quite frankly we were left with no option… We fought hard to do what was right and what I still believe to have been right. “Remember one thing, the dams have never over topped, ever. And they will likely never over top. So in my opinion this entire exercise has been a waste of time and money.” Jeff Solomon, founder of the Colliery Dams Park Preservation Society also offered up some strong words. “Like many others, I feel confused and torn about the motion that was passed unanimously last night at council,” he said. “For me the forced choosing of an option for remediation without first securing the necessary informa-

tion required is abhorrent.” Just last week, a majority of council voted against constructing a new spillway on the lower dam, saying there was insufficient evidence to suggest the proposed modifications to the structure were necessary — despite repeated Chicken Little-style warnings from the province. In the end, local officials were essentially backed into a corner. As we reported, Coun. Gord Fuller said he changed his mind because he had contacts who told him the province was prepared to cancel the water licence for the structure. “We could have been used as an example,” Fuller said, adding he did not make the decision lightly. “In the past, I have said I would be willing to chain myself to a tree,” he said.

It would seem now that the only thing left unknown is whether the decision will spark any further protests. Council was told 40 people are ready to camp out in the park to stop the work from proceeding. The decision reached by council Monday night is far from perfect. Far too much time, money and political energy have been spent to get to this point. In the end, the community needed a decision. It is a compromise and it will leave many unhappy. But after all this time, testing the province and shouting into the breach was not a risk deemed worth taking. » We want to hear from you.

Where and who are the ‘Proletariat’ in this age? Foodbanks will be stretched, whether in Alberta or economically struggling B.C. communities, like Port Alberni where many

families depend upon income from employment in Alberta’s oil-patch. And these folk will be competing for scarce food bank resources with the usual clients: people on provincial government financial assistance and working folk whose employers don’t pay them a living wage. For the first seven months of every year (from the previous December thru end of July) B.C. provincial financial assistance (“welfare”) clients endure at least four, five-week months between cheque-issue dates. This means that whatever meagre funds they may have left over for groceries (from an average allowance of maybe $900 per month) has to stretch for five rather than four weeks. Note: the average rent in B.C is at least $600 to $800 per month for something halfway decent. So by July, the foodbank’s shelves are bare – just when they’re contemplating having to stock up before winter when (in December) the five-week cycle will begin again. The provincial government could quit perpetuating elder poverty by allowing 55- and 60-year-old disability clients to keep pension funds earned from previous employment rather than

clawing these employment-related funds back from their monthly allowance. This clawback is cruel, as clients are allowed to keep (on top of their regular income assistance allowance) up to $9,600 per year income if they can find employment now (when they are disabled) whereas they have already worked for and earned those employment related professional pension and CPP funds that are being clawed back. Isn’t this the kind of thing that fostered the likes of the French Revolution? And, if history were to repeat itself in this selfie/navel-gazing day ‘n’ age, where and who are the “Proletariat” now?

Read Stevenson-Yang to learn about China economy A note to all trying to make sense of the Chinese economy- if you aren’t reading Ann Stevenson-Yang, you’d better. An old China hand, she is fluent in Mandarin and has been bearish on China since 2011, which means she was premature. “I hate to wear sack cloth,’” she

says of that period, and adds that no one knew the government would engage in a mindless stimulus program with empty cities, roads to nowhere, etc. She focuses on the elephant in the room that so many pundits seem unable to see: the pervasive inequality and corruption that is the hallmark of the Chinese Communist Party. She adds: “I am amazed how many pundits who believe in markets subscribe to the notion of Chinese exceptionalism.”Some of the blindness is willful. When the World Bank commented on the inefficient SOE’s (State Owned Enterprises) it was removed after complaints from the CCP. Moving from Ann Yang’s comment to my own: for China to continue evolving away from communism it would seem selfevident that it has to retire the Chinese Communist Party.

The co-operative recently broke ground on its latest expansion project, a new eight-pump cardlock station on Northfield Road at Boxwood.

On July 13, city council agreed to allow alcohol in the stands of the municipal facility, which would enable patrons to take their drinks out of the multiplex’s upper lounge area where liquor was previously permitted to the Weyerhaeuser Arena seats. The decision to loosen the facility’s liquor restrictions came after the city received a request from the junior hockey club. “The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have requested we change the licence in order to allow customers the option to take alcohol into the bleachers,� wrote Scott Kenny, the city’s director of parks, recreation and heritage, in a report for council.

Mayor happy with climate talk

First Nation turns to Texas for cleanup help

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VATICAN CITY — Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson says he’ll return from a two-day Vatican climate conference prepared to pressure the federal government into adopting bold targets for carbon reductions before the upcoming federal election. Robertson is the only Canadian among 60 global mayors gathered in Rome to promote Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical, which denounced the fossil fuel-based world economy that exploits the poor and destroys the Earth. Robertson said in a telephone interview from Rome on Tuesday that he met with delegates, listened to a talk from the Pope and signed a declaration that states “human-induced climate change is a scientific reality and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity.” The mayor will speak to delegates Wednesday about the economic success Vancouver has seen by greening the city and tackling climate pollution. “It’s a huge honour to be invited into the Vatican, into the Pope’s presence and have the most important political issues of our time addressed by such a key faith leader,” said Robertson.

KEVEN DREWS THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Ten members from British Columbia’s Okanagan Indian Band have been selected for specialized training to learn how to rid their reserve of the buried bullets and bombs that have accumulated over a century. Military training dating back to the Boer War has littered spent and unexploded ordinance across thousands of hectares of two areas on the First Nation’s land near Vernon, B.C., said Chief Coun. Byron Louis in an interview. This September, three band members will head to Texas A&M University where they’ll spend about 200 hours learning how to work safely and identify ordinance “hot spots,” he said. One member has already received training and six more members will follow over the next two years. The effort is part of a federal remediation plan that despite its multimillion-dollar price tag is “woefully inadequate,” especially when developers have been knocking on the band’s door, Louis said. “If you started with 100 people on one end of our reserve and went north and just worked your way north with 100 people, in 10 years you would not finish.” The band has one estimate that sets the cleanup cost at

$200 million. Daniel Blouin, a spokesman for the Department of National Defence, said the government is spending approximately $750,000 a year on remediating the lands and plans to double that amount next year. He said the government is working with the band to prioritize the remediation based on their economic development plan. “Until a full assessment is completed, and a mutually agreeable solution is in place, it is not possible to estimate the scope of the work to any degree of precision,” Blouin said.

Okanagan Indian Band wants to rid its reserve of buried bullets, bombs

and valley is covered in grasslands with mixed-timber and is dotted by small and medium-sized lakes. “You know it’s land of very high value and when you start looking at prices of property in the Okanagan, pretty soon you find that we’re sitting on some considerable lands for development opportunities,” Louis said. Since the turn of the 20th Century, Canadian soldiers have used the area to train, especially during the First, Second and Korean Wars, said Louis. Some band members can still recall artillery rounds flying over their reserve and landing on nearby training

ranges, he said. “They used to plow up on their field and every once in a while, they’d find these tail fins ... of a mortar and take the mortar and go throw it on the rock pile,” said Louis. “By the grace of God those things never exploded.” He said one clean up project in August 2004 identified approximately 900 kilograms of military debris and about 26 live mortar rounds covering less than half a hectare. “What would happen if some of these developers actually hit some unexploded ordinance and what’s that going to do in terms of land value,” he said.

Canada seeks U.S. help in translating documents A lawyer for the Canadian government says the United States should be given access to hundreds of thousands of pages of documents seized by police from a man accused of stealing American military trade secrets for China. Stacey Repas told a B.C. Supreme Court extradition hearing that the RCMP doesn’t have the resources to translate more than 300,000 pages confiscated last year from Su Bin, an accused spy and Chinese citizen. The United States wants to extradite the man from Canada to face trial over accusations he was the mastermind of a plot to steal confidential information from several American defence contractors. Repas also says Canada has an international obligation to co-operate with its neighbour on issues of national security.

◆ POLITICS

NDP must explain its disagreement with SCOC The NDP needs to better explain why it thinks Quebec should have an easier path to independence than the one outlined by the Supreme Court, says Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. Trudeau called out the NDP during a stop to a Montreal-area space centre on Tuesday, one day after a Leger poll indicated his party was in fourth place in Quebec with the NDP significantly ahead in first. He reacted to a question about whether the NDP’s strong support in Quebec can be attributed to it not being scared of soliciting votes from Quebec sovereigntists and soft nationalists. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think anyone will ever accuse a Liberal named Trudeau of being afraid of going after sovereigntists,” he said. “I’ve been very, very clear that Canadian unity is an issue that is important to always address.”

RCMP concerned with C-51

Anti-terrorism legislation could hurt their efforts overseas, internal notes indicate JIM BRONSKILL THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The RCMP is concerned new anti-terrorism legislation might hurt — not help — its security efforts overseas, internal notes say. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s new powers to disrupt threats “could inadvertently jeopardize existing relationships” the Mounties have fostered if authorities discover what CSIS is doing, RCMP briefing notes warn. There will be additional pres-

sure on the Mounties to co-ordinate with the spy service so that criminal investigations are not “negaCABANA tively affected,” add the notes, prepared for RCMP deputy commissioner Mike Cabana’s appearance at a Senate committee. The Canadian Press used the Access to Information Act to obtain the detailed documents,

drafted in advance of Cabana’s April 20 testimony on the government’s sweeping security bill, known as C-51. The bill, which has since become law, explicitly empowers CSIS to thwart security threats — going well beyond its traditional information-gathering role — by meddling with extremist websites, diverting illicit shipments or engaging in myriad other schemes. The newly disclosed notes underscore the need for a federal security czar to oversee and dir-

ect the anti-terrorism activities of Canadian agencies that might otherwise trip over one another, said University of Ottawa law professor Craig Forcese. “What we’ve done with C-51 is we’ve enhanced the prospect of traffic collisions and road carnage without putting in place the traffic-light system.” National security investigations, especially ones with international dimensions, are complex and challenging for all parties, said CSIS spokeswoman Tahera Mufti.

Hacking threats taken seriously, minister says LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS

Wine of the Month W Traditional Vintage, Sangiovese, Italy T

DELTA — Canada’s public safety minister shrugged off questions Tuesday about his government’s response to threats against the RCMP by the hacktivist group Anonymous, saying he fully trusts law enforcement to investigate. Steven Blaney said all threats are taken seriously but provided few details of how his government is responding, days after Anonymous claimed responsibility for shutting down the RCMP website. “There are many ways this country enjoys freedom to express our democratic views,” he said. “I invite those who want to express their views to use democratic ways. Those who don’t expose themselves to face the full force of the law.” Members of the loosely-connected vigilante group issued a news release on Saturday that claimed a masked man fatally shot by a Mountie in Dawson Creek, B.C., was an Anonymous member. The group vowed to publish the identity and personal information of the officer. The next day, the force’s national website crashed for several hours. The RCMP has not confirmed that Anonymous hackers were responsible for the shutdown.

WASHINGTON — The cover cartoon on this week’s New Yorker offers an apt visual metaphor for the early phase of the 2016 U.S. presidential election: Donald Trump flamboyantly belly-flopping into a pool, clearing out everyone else. He did it again Tuesday. This one involved Trump handing out the cellphone number of a United States senator and rival candidate, Lindsey Graham, to basically the entire world. Resentful at being referred to as a “jackass� by Graham, Trump told a campaign rally that the South Carolina senator had begged him a few years ago to be introduced to friends at Fox News and had given Trump his number. Trump responded by applying two of the life-lessons laid out in the adulatory autobiographies he’s written with titles like, “The Art of the Deal,� and “Think BIG and Kick Ass.�

Danger of quaaludes back in the spotlight

of quaaludes. “‘Usually, I don’t approve of drugs, but you know, in the ’70s they used to call these pills thigh openers,”’ she says he told her. Hefner has declined to discuss Madison’s book. At one point during Cosby’s testimony for a lawsuit he eventually settled out of court, he said he had seven different prescriptions for quaaludes. He got them by asking his doctor for some, he said. The doctor asked him if he had a “bad back or anything,” and Cosby said yes. But Cosby said in the deposition that he wanted them for non-medical reasons. “Quaaludes happen to be the drug that kids, young people were using to party with and there were times when I wanted to have them just in case,” he said. The drug, synthesized in the 1950s, was originally intended as an anti-malarial treatment, says James Adams, associate professor at the University of Southern California.

The 13-yearold girl with whom Roman Polanski pleaded guilty to having unlawful sexual intercourse in 1977 said the Oscar-winning director plied her with champagne and half a quaalude before raping her at Jack Nicholson’s house.

JOHN ROGERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Before there was Molly there was the quaalude, the most popular party drug of the 1970s. It was also, as we now know, the one Bill Cosby kept on hand to give to young women he wanted to have sex with. In 10-year-old testimony uncovered this week, Cosby said he would offer the drug “the same as a person would say, ’Have a drink.”’ He never tried to sneak any of it into someone’s drink, he added, as many others did during those years. But when asked whether a woman who accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 1976 could have resisted him while on quaaludes, he replied, “I don’t know.” One thing is certain. The drug, outlawed in the United States since 1982, was hugely popular 40 years ago. People routinely swallowed it with their drinks at nightclubs from

Legendary absinthe drink makes quite a comeback Sheila Hockin The Lucky Gourmet

A

bsinthe, a popular drink of the 19th century Bohemian culture is making a comeback. The green-coloured spirit, also known as “the green fairy” or “la fee verte,” was once a taboo drink and thought to contain hallucinogens that could drive one insane. Banned in the USA and several other countries in 1912, this green spirit is actually a delicious botanical blend of wormwood, green anise, hyssop, sweet fennel and other herbs. Lucky for those of us who love the licorice and herbal flavours in absinthe, science now tells us that absinthe is no more harmful to you than any other spirit. Thankfully, the production of absinthe is once again in full swing and Nanaimo’s own Arbutus Distillery is making some mighty fine absinthe. The distillery’s Mike Pizzitelli crafts his signature absinthe using local products, including herbs grown in their own garden onsite. He starts with his own grain alcohol, made with local barley malt. The grain alcohol is then re-distilled with wormwood and an anise herb mixture. After several weeks of steeping in the botanicals, its bottling locks in all those sweet licorice and delicate herbal notes. Most absinthe are almost 70 per cent alcohol, so they need a little water added to the cocktail to be

enjoyed without destroying your palate. In one popular French tradition, a glass of absinthe is placed directly under a perforated absinthe spoon holding a sugar cube. Ice water is slowly dripped through the sugar cube into the absinthe. This method allows the herbal oils in the absinthe to gently release a lovely pale green cloud in the cocktail. Czechoslovakians pre-dip the sugar cube in absinthe and light it on fire, caramelizing the sugar. When the water drips through

the caramelised sugar, new rich flavours permeate the cocktail. A cocktail called “Death in the Afternoon” was made popular by the author Ernest Hemingway. His version, also called The Hemingway or Hemingway Champagne, calls for several ounces of absinthe to be poured into a champagne glass and topped with sparkling wine. He also insisted that three to five of these Death in the Afternoon cocktails be downed successively to, no doubt, lend credibility to the name. A modern modifica-

tion of Hemingway’s cocktail might call for reducing the amount of absinthe! Finally, there’s the absinthe-flavoured Sazerac. Mix two parts of cognac, a half-part of a simple syrup, three dashes of absinthe and a dash of bitters. Add all ingredients to a chilled rock glass and garnish with a twist of lemon. At a price of $45.99, you can find Arbutus’ fabulous absinthe, named Baba Yaga, at Lucky’s Liquor Store at the Country Club Centre Mall in Nanaimo.

BEVERAGES

Beer drinkers ‘hoppy’ over experimentation THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — When reaching for a cold one, more Canadians are turning to craft beers, a category that has seen major growth across the country. In 2014, overall consumption of beer declined by six per cent but craft beer servings were up seven per cent, according to data from NPD Group. The marketing analysis firm says craft and microbrew beers accounted for 17 per cent of all beer consumed at casual dining restaurants. Tim Broughton says the beer landscape today bears little resemblance to when he and business partner George Milbrandt launched C’est What? in Toronto, a pioneer in showcasing local beers, in 1988. “When we opened there was no such thing as craft beer,” Broughton says, adding the only two breweries that weren’t Molson or Labatt were the now-defunct Conners and Upper Canada. C’est What? now offers 42 craft beers on tap, with a selection of rotating small-batch beers. “Over the last few years you could have come down here every day for a pint and never had the same beer twice,” says Broughton. “We were going through over 300 beers in a year. It’s nice that the industry has developed that far. If you go back to ’88 that was a different story.” Of about 150 brewers in Ontario, there are 50 or so that are considered small or craft, relying on local, natur-

al ingredients to make more than 450 handcrafted premium brews with no preservatives, the Ontario Craft Brewers Association says on its website. The BC Craft Brewers Guild dubs itself “the birthplace of craft beer in Canada,” founded in 1982. It now includes close to 100 breweries throughout the province and sales have doubled in the last four years, according to its website. The Craft Brewers Association of Nova Scotia has 19 members. Quebec too has had an explosion of craft brewers over the last couple of years, says Les Murray, president of Beerlicious, which operates Toronto’s Fes-

tival of Beer, one of the largest such events in the country, marking its 21st edition July 24-26. When the festival started, fewer than 10 brewers took part with about 30 brands. Now there are about 100 exhibitors and more than 350 different brands of beer available. Brewers are getting creative with the classic recipe of malt, water, hops and yeast. “It used to be that everybody came out with a lager because you had to compete with Molson Canadian,” says Broughton. “For years there was this huge wave of IPAs, sort of West Coast, American-style IPAs, heavily hopped, reasonably strong alcohol.Now you’re seeing a whole bunch of other types of beer showing up.” The varieties are endless: brown ales, stouts, white beers and sour beers. Brewers are experimenting with grains like rye, or using rye or whisky barrels in the aging process to add complexity. Then there are “additive” beers, with spices, herbs, chocolate,

coffee, orange, raspberry and pumpkin. “It’s fun because you can really make different and interesting products,” says Broughton. “I think winemakers to some extent don’t have the same flexibility.” You’ve basically got to work with grapes and tweak it whereas in beer you can use just about anything.” Inventive mixologists and bartenders are combining beer with juices, bitters and other ingredients — ginger is common — in cocktails, and chefs and brewers are suggesting food and beer pairings. Murray points to a link between consumers keeping an eye on their gluten intake and the growing popularity of cider — that’s hard cider, the fermented variety usually made from apples, though pears or peaches can be used. Broughton has noticed a trend over the last four or five years of “weird beer names.” Flying Monkeys started out as Robert Simpson, named for the first mayor of Barrie, Ont., who also was a brewer. Now the brewery has devised flashy labels and such monikers for brews as Smashbomb Atomic and Hoptical Illusion Almost Pale Ale. Gravenhurst-based Sawdust City makes a stout called Long, Dark Voyage to Uranus. “The nice thing is it’s not just marketing,” Broughton says. “They’re not just making a crap beer and putting a funky name and label on it. They’re making good beers and also having some fun with the names on the labels.”

s the temperature climbs, we are on the lookout for anything to eat that is simple to prepare, cold and refreshing. It is salad season! This is the time of year when it is easy to include the recommended seven to ten servings of vegetables and fruit every day. Planning cold meals on hot days can be a challenge if your family thinks a salad is just lettuce with dressing. A salad can be any cold foods that you want to mix together. For comfort, you can begin with a little lettuce or mixed greens. On top of the greens you can add a rainbow of other vegetables and fruits cut up into bitesized pieces. Traditional green salads are usually topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, peppers, radishes and green onions. For variety, experiment with the less traditional salad vegetables like onions, leeks, turnip, beets, parsnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and carrots. For the adventurous, there is celery root, jicama, daikon, horseradish and a host of other root vegetables. Squashes like zucchini, Hubbard, butternut, and acorn, are all good in salads. Don’t forget avocado, asparagus, cabbages, corn, peas, and green beans. Meat, fish, poultry and meat alternatives also make excellent salad ingredients. When you have mixed your vegetable choices together, they can be topped with cut or sliced beef, chicken, turkey, fish or eggs. Meat alternatives include lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas or garbanzo beans, split peas, or any other type of legume. Other meat alternatives are seeds and nuts such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, almonds, hazel nuts and walnuts. Chopped egg, tofu and sprouted beans, or seeds can also be added to salads to boost the protein. By adding something from the meat and meat alternatives group, you have an excellent source of protein and your salad becomes a meal. To add grains to your salads, start with a base of cooked grains like rice, quinoa, couscous, or different shapes of pasta. Then add any vegetables that feel right. Most salads are improved with the addition of chopped or grated cheeses. Sharp cheeses like aged cheddar or blue cheeses can give great flavours mixed into salads or as part of the dressing. Feta cheese works well with many different vegetables. In the salad days of summer, take time to visit your garden, farmer’s markets, and the produce aisle and maybe even some wilder pastures to see what you can find to feature the bounty that is ripe in our community. The variety of different salads you can make is limited only by your imagination. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

Mariners head to playoffs ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

After a long spring season, the end is in sight for the Mid Isle Mariners as they head into the Pacific Coast Soccer League playoffs this weekend. The Mariners will face the Victoria Highlanders at Trillium West turf field in Vancouver on Saturday, as both teams finished second and third in the league at the end of the regular season last weekend. And if that was anything to go by, this Saturday’s semifinal will be close, with the teams playing out a tight and tense 0-0 draw in the province’s capital last week. The winner of Saturday’s game will advance to the final and play the winner of either the hosts and PCSL league champions Vancouver United or Khalsa Sporting Club. Head coach Chris Merriman says he’s confident heading into the playoffs, with a fully fit squad to choose from. “We’ve got a full squad so I’m excited

and I think we’ve got a pretty good chance going into provincials,” said Merriman. “Often in a summer league, you don’t have a full squad for all of your games as the guys have other stuff going on. So it’s great to have all of the players make that commitment for this weekend.” Merriman says he was happy with the way his team played last time out against the Highlanders. The game proved to be crucial match practice for the Mariners, who had their previous two games result in a forfeit by their opponents. FC Tigers Vancouver and Tim Hortons Pinnacles, the PCSL’s bottom two sides, both forefeited games against the Mariners in recent weeks. “We looked good against the Highlanders and I’m excited to see how we’ll do this time,” said Merriman.

The 18U Midget AAA provincial baseball championships come to the Harbour City on Thursday and the Nanaimo Buccaneers aim to make a notable impact as tournament hosts. Games will take place at Serauxmen Stadium and Mariner Field, with the Buccaneers opening the tournament at 8:30 a.m. Thursday against a Richmond team at Serauxmen — with the final tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m. at the same venue on Sunday. Seeded sixth out of 10 teams, the Buccaneers second game of the tournament will follow immediately after the opening ceremonies at the stadium on Thursday at 5 p.m. against top-seeded Ridge Meadows. They then finish pool play on Friday against Tri-Cities at 3 p.m. and then South Fraser at 6 p.m. — both at Mariner. Manager Jordan Blundell says he and his team are excited to both host and play in the tournament. “We have a really strong parent group right now and with all the volunteers that have been standing beside them to put it on, it’s been awesome,” he said. “All different kinds of people have stepped up and we’ve been looking forward to this opportunity since we were awarded it a couple of months ago. “We’re proud we’ve been able to get in on our own accord and not just as hosts (the top eight teams automatically qualify from the regular league season). We’re ready to go and we’ll see what we can do.” The tournament will also mark the first

time a Nanaimo Midget AAA team has went to the provincials. It’s a feat that Blundell’s team has also managed to achieve its first time out, with this year also being the first time Nanaimo has fielded a team at the Midget AAA level. “We’ve got a group of kids that just enjoy playing the game together,” said Blundell, with the majority of the roster being only 15 years old. “We’ve learned a lot. But the guys are really motivated and we’ve had a great team both on and off the field. At the end of the day, every team is unique in itself and we’re just trying to work hard and play the game better everyday.” Pitcher Nate Dolman will likely have a key role to play both with the ball and then batting in the middle. “Nate’s a real dedicated, hard working player and he’ll help us go. But we’re pretty versatile, all our guys pitch and play portions in the field as well,” said Blundell. “Jayden Marsh is also one of those guys thats bring a provision of energy to the team. Dylan Kirby will likely do the majority of the catching for us and he’s really good back there.” Blundell says his players are still learning the game but is happy with how the season has went and how the team has developed. “We’ve played pretty clean baseball,” he said. “The games we’ve won, we’ve produced our best stuff. The games we’ve lost, we’ve learned from.” Ross.Armour@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

PAN AM GAMES

Canada wins eight track medals

B3

Quebec City, Las Vegas lead NHL expansion

THE CANADIAN PRESS THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A threadbare Canadian track and field team came home with just four medals at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Canada’s athletes have already more than doubled that modest total after just one full day at the track in Toronto. The host nation picked up eight medals in athletics, including four gold, in Tuesday’s competition at the 2015 Pan Am Games. With gold and silver from Sunday’s 20-kilometre race walk, Canada leads all nations in athletics with five gold medals and is tied with the United States at 10 medals overall. Toronto’s Shawnacy Barber and Vancouver’s Elizabeth Gleadle set the tone early with a gold medal each. Barber equalled a Pan Am record, clearing 5.80 metres to win gold in men’s pole vault and Gleadle won gold in women’s javelin with a throw of 62.83 metres on her sixth and final attempt. “I’m having a really phenomenal year for me, I’m hitting the marks that I dreamed of,” Barber said. Gleadle was trailing American Kara Winger when she stepped up to take her final javelin throw, clapping her hands to get the crowd going. “I was thinking ’Oh no, I’d better get it together,”’ Gleadle said. “I was standing there and I thought to myself ’I bet the Canadian anthem would sound a whole lot better from the podium if I was on it,’ so that inspired me to throw better.” Canada earned more medals in

evening competition, with Matt Hughes winning gold and Alex Genest taking silver in the men’s 3,000-metre steeplechase and Mohammed Ahmed wining the men’s 10,000 metres. Hughes, form Oshawa, Ont., finished the steeplechase in eight minutes 32.18 seconds with Genest, from Shawinigan, Que., right behind in 8:33.83. Cory Leslie of the U.S. won bronze. “It was about competing for the fans that paid good money to come watch us race, and family and friends, and you don’t get many opportunities to compete on a stage like this,” Hughes said. “Toronto is like home for me as well, so winning in front of your family and friends is something

you don’t get to do very often. “I probably will never run a major championships in Canada ever again, because there will probably never be one in my career.” Hughes pulled away from the pack with three laps to go. “I made a similar move in the national championships a few weeks ago, so I was confident in that move,” he said. “I was hoping that Alex knew when I was going to go.” Ahmed, from St. Catharines, Ont., won the 10,000 in 29:49.96, ahead of American Aron Rono (28:50.83) and Mexico’s Juan Luis Barrios (28:51.57). Tim Nedow from Brockville, Ont., earned silver in the men’s

shot put with a throw of 20.53 metres. Jamaica’s O’Dayne Richards won gold with a throw of 21.69 metres, breaking the Pan Am record previously held by Canada’s Dylan Armstrong. “I’ve been throwing 20.50 all year, so there was no excuse not to throw it here, so I am glad I did that,” Nedow said. Sultana Frizell of Perth, Ont., took bronze in the women’s hammer throw with a toss of 69.51 metres, while Toronto’s Nikkita Holder won bronze in the women’s 100 hurdles in 12.85 seconds. Canada ended Tuesday with 59 gold, 53 silver and 48 bronze. The host nation has won at least one gold in each day of medal competition.

NEW YORK — Quebec City and Las Vegas are now at the forefront of the NHL expansion movement. Owners in those two cities were the only ones to submit expansion applications before Monday’s deadline, the league has confirmed. The NHL said it received requests from and sent applications to 16 different groups or individuals. Quebecor submitted a bid to bring the Nordiques back to Quebec City, while Bill Foley applied for a Las Vegas franchise. Ownership groups in the Toronto and Seattle areas considered applying but ultimately did not. The NHL said the intent of the expansion process was to “set realistic guideposts to distinguish between bona fide expressions of interest . . . from those indications of potential interest which were, at best, merely hopes or aspirations.” “Apparently, only Mr. Foley and Quebecor have the confidence in their ability to secure an arena and suitable ownership capability to move forward with this process,” the league said. Quebecor manages the Videotron Centre, which will host a pre-season game between the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins in September. A new arena is under construction on the Las Vegas strip and is set to open in the spring of 2016. A franchise is expected to cost upwards of US$500 million.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Chris Froome’s data released JAMEY KEATEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SISTERON, France — The team of Tour de France leader Chris Froome bowed to pressure Tuesday and released data about his riding power, heart rate and pedaling rhythm, hoping to quell speculation about doping ahead of an increasingly likely victory in Paris. On the Tour’s second rest day, Team Sky presented the figures after comments on French TV raised questions about Froome’s performance and incidents in which spectators have booed,

spat upon and thrown urine on the rider and his teammates — behaviour attributed in part to the unfounded speculation about his speed on the way to victory in Stage 10. With a three minute, 10 second lead on his closest rival, and his mountain-climbing nearly unparalleled, Froome said he’s in “a great place” as the threeweek race resumes Wednesday with Stage 17’s 161-kilometre (100-mile) jaunt over four climbs from Digne-les-Bains to an uphill finish at Pra Loup mountain resort.

It’s the start of four grueling days in the Alps. The climax comes Saturday with an uphill finish at Alpe d’Huez, a day before a largely ceremonial ride for the race winner on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. “The third week of the Tour is always unpredictable. You never know how anyone is going to respond,” said American rider Tejay van Garderen, the BMC team leader who is third overall, 3:32 behind of Froome. “It was clear that he dealt with the heat and dealt with the (first) rest day better than other people did.”

Toronto Blue Jay Josh Donaldson rounds second base against the Tampa Bay Rays Saturday in Toronto. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Donaldson back in Oakland as all-star ANTONIO GONZALEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND, Calif. — Josh Donaldson had a little extra time to reflect on his tenure with the Athletics during his first trip back to the aging Oakland Coliseum. Toronto’s All-Star third baseman spent about two hours in a taxi from San Francisco to Oakland on Tuesday because his driver apparently took a few failed “shortcuts.” Finally, Donaldson saw the stadium’s new video boards as the car approached and thought back to his old memories of playing for the green and gold. “When I pulled up, my heart started fluttering a little bit seeing this place,” Donaldson said, wearing his Blue Jays uniform in the visitor’s dugout. No doubt Donaldson felt some emotions in his return to Oakland, where the Blue Jays and A’s were meeting for the first time since the off-season trade that reshaped their rosters. In a surprising move Nov. 28, the A’s sent Donaldson to Toronto for third baseman Brett Lawrie, right-hander Kendall Graveman, lefty Sean Nolin and minor league shortstop Franklin Barreto. Gravemen (6-5, 3.38 ERA) was starting for Oakland in the opener of the three-game series. “Maybe a little incentive there,” Donaldson quipped. Donaldson said he has “zero animosity” toward the A’s. He recalls only fond memories of his four seasons with the team — “minus some flooding a couple times” in the clubhouse — and is thankful for the opportunity the team gave him. But Donaldson admitted the move by A’s general manager Billy Beane to break up a club that had made the playoffs three straight seasons left him stunned. “It probably took me two or three weeks at least to kind of let it soak in. It was definitely hard,” Donaldson said. “There was definitely some emotions going on because a lot of the guys that were here, we’ve been through so much together, we’ve kind of built what we thought was a core and really some foundations.

Declarer ruffed the diamond lead, drew trump and conceded the ace of clubs, N-S +1430. The slam was an excellent contract that would only be defeated when the opponents could manage a club ruff. The constructive raise promised 8-9 HCP with exactly threecard support and South could envision twelve tricks as long as partner owned a rounded suit ace. The leap to five diamonds functioned as Exclusion Blackwood asking North for controls but telling him not to count the the ace of diamonds because South was void. The first step response disclosed one control, either the ace of hearts or clubs, and South happily advanced to a small slam. Some players would have opened two clubs with South’s hand but the major suit opening was a good plan. This action would rarely be passed out since South held twelve black cards. This beginning conserved bidding space and gave South an opportunity to find a black suit fit before settling into a final destination. North would respond two hearts to a two club opening promising a five-card suit with two of the top three honors. He would subsequently raise spades and South would again jump to five diamonds as Exclusion Blackwood hoping that partner held the ace of clubs in addition to the ace of hearts.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden passing of a dear husband, father, grandfather and brother who has gone to be with his Lord and Saviour. Rudy is survived by his wife of 55 years, Sadie and his children; Christine and Pete Peereboom and their children Sharlene (Stefan), Daryl (Hilary) and Christopher (Darien); John and Dorothy and their children Tiffanie (Ryan) and Tasha; Fred and Marjan and their children Laurisa, Breanna and Eric; Eileen and Doug Dykstra and their children Kevin, Ryan, Sarah and Alisha. Rudy is also survived by six brothers, one sister and numerous other family members. He was born in Aalten, the Netherlands. He went to trades school to become a painter and in April 1954 he immigrated with his parents and siblings to Taber, Alberta where they worked on a farm. In December 1955 they settled on Vancouver Island. Rudy had many jobs during his time here, from Bamberton cement plant, to Chemainus sawmill, to egg farmer and finally to a dairy farm that he purchased in 1971 and fully retired from in 2014. Rudy was active in the church, the Christian School and Island Farms. He will be greatly missed and his strong faith in God was evident to all. A Memorial Service will be held at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church, 930 Trunk Road at 1:00 pm on Thursday, July 23, 2015. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to Duncan Christian School. Online condolences may be made at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Organizers pushing for more ‘Canadiana’ at Canadian Open STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sixteen Canadian players are expected to be in the field for Canada’s national open. That group features Graham DeLaet, David Hearn, Adam Hadwin and recent PGA Tour winner Nick Taylor. No Canadian has won this event since Pat Fletcher in 1954. Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters winner who withdrew for personal reasons to take a leave of absence from golf, came the closest when he was a playoff runner-up to Vijay Singh in 2004.

MARKHAM, Ont. — Canadian Open organizers are adding a lot more red and white to the expanse of green at Glen Abbey Golf Club. First-year tournament director Brent McLaughlin heard from players that there’s not enough “Canadiana� at the RBC Canadian Open. They’ll get their wish on the course this week with the addition of many Canadian flags, including a 30-by-15-feet one behind the 18th green. It’s all an effort to make the Canadian Open more Canadian. “I think we’ve struck a balance of the Canadiana,� McLaughlin said in a phone interview last week. “We’ve lost touch with kind of the stuff that makes us uniquely Canadian: the Mounties and kind of those stereotypes that you always hear. “I know we don’t like it when it’s talked about about us, but it’s nice when we can sort of say, ’Yeah, you’re in Canada. It’s a little bit different here.�’

Simmons said the organization had to close the gates and stop selling tickets at Glen Abbey twice: when Tiger Woods was at his peak and won in 2000 and then when Weir had the Sunday lead in 2004. “It just shows you what can happen when a homegrown does well on Canadian soil, and I hope we see that (this week), come Sunday we’ve got some Canadian flags at the top of the leaderboard,� Simmons said Sunday after the inaugural Pan Am Games golf

tournament. Of course the event will be a smashing success and keep up the Pan Am nationalism in the Toronto area if a Canadian is close to the lead this weekend. But there’s no safe bet on that, what with a field that includes world No. 3 Bubba Watson, No. 7 Jim Furyk and No. 9 Jason Day, who tied for fourth at the British Open. Even though Brandt Snedeker pulled out with a hip injury, Simmons considers this one of the deeper fields the Canadian Open has had in a while. That’s certainly a selling point, but McLaughlin also instituted “Red And White Day� on Friday to encourage fans and golfers to show off national spirit and added food trucks serving things like poutine and Beavertails. “This is a festival,� he said. “It’s just a fun atmosphere to get involved with. More so than just focusing on the talent and the Canadian players and anybody in the field in general, it needs to be an event. People love events.�

Slam hopes gone, Spieth gears up for next major TIM DAHLBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Jordan Spieth headed home from a grueling week at the British Open with history on his mind and another major in his future. Next up is the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. And if the Grand Slam is no longer in play, there’s still plenty out there. “I don’t know how many guys have done three majors in a year,� Spieth said. “I’m sure there’s only been a few.� Very few, actually. Ben Hogan did it in 1953, winning the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open. Tiger Woods missed in the Masters but won the last three majors of the year in 2000 on his way to what became known as the Tiger Slam. After his chances at winning his third straight major evaporated with a couple of missed opportunities on the last two holes Monday, Spieth was already looking ahead. It was hard not to after coming up one shot short of a three-man playoff that Zach Johnson won.
