Scofﬂaws resort to putting phones in drink cups ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo RCMP officer recently pulled over a motorcycle travelling north on the Nanaimo Parkway at approximately 110 kilometres per hour. But what makes this traffic stop different from most others was the man driving the bike was observed switching the music in his phone and had no hands on his steering column as he was speeding along. It’s just one of the many instances of distracted driving that officers of the Nanaimo RCMP are observing and ticketing on a daily basis, according to spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien. O’Brien said one “trick” people use to try to get away with using their cellphones or other electronic devices while driving is to buy a super-sized drink and, when the beverage is finished, place their phones in the big empty cup to hide it from police and others

“The statistics clearly show that people are 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident when texting while driving.” Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP

when they are using it while driving. Then there’s the lady who was captured on video in May driving along the Nanaimo Parkway while curling her hair at the same time. The video, which clearly shows the woman completely engrossed in her curling while driving at highway speeds, went viral. As well, while the investigation is still underway, O’Brien said police suspect that a woman who was involved in a recent accident that closed the Nanaimo Parkway for eight hours may have been texting at the time.

“The statistics clearly show that people are 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident when texting while driving,” he said. The province is currently considering following Ontario and Alberta in raising fines for distracted driving, which includes the use of cellphones, and O’Brien said that it would be a good idea. In B.C., someone caught using a cellphone or other electronic device while driving now faces a $167 fine, and demerit points are added for those who are caught texting. O’Brien said fines for other forms of distracted driving, including driving without due care and attention, can currently fetch fines of $350 or higher for those caught. But B.C. has the second-lowest distracted-driving fines in the country and the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police has called for stiffer fines as a deterrent. O’Brien said that while distracted drivers cover all age groups,

those who insist on using their cell phones and/or texting while driving are usually younger people. He said that hitting that age group with stiffer financial penalties for distracted driving would likely have a bigger effect than on older age groups. “Big fines certainly hurt young people more and the impact on them is immediate,” O’Brien said. “The Report Impaired Drivers program and the hefty fines for drunk driving have been effective in changing people’s behaviour, and we’re hoping for the same results with increasing the fines for all forms of distracted driving.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234 » We want to hear from you.

Nanaimo city council has widened the authority of an advisory body to oversee modifications to the Colliery dams, raising concerns about project delays with Mayor Bill McKay and senior city staff. Council voted to give the eight-person Colliery Dam select committee authority over design of a spillway-labyrinth system and environmental, cultural and related considerations including “any other matter the committee deems necessary” to review the project. “I’m very concerned,” said McKay. “I would hope it doesn’t supersede (last week’s) motion, that said we would go ahead with the work.” A staff report recommended the committee review final landscaping. Expanding its scope was supported by councillors Gord Fuller, Jerry Hong, Bill Yoachim, Bill Bestwick and Jim Kipp. McKay and Coun. Wendy Pratt voted against. Diane Brennan and Ian Thorpe were not present. “We’ve got to be digging roughly (by) Sept. 1 and I can’t see how in five weeks this committee will do everything,” McKay said. A week ago council avoided violating a provincial order by choosing the spillway option, sidestepping legal or other action against the city for failure to protect the public from floods from the century-old dams. “It’s difficult and frustrating for everybody as the process moves forward to try to get the auxiliary spillway built and meet the timeline,” said Toby Seward, city acting general manager of protective services. Makeup of the new committee can’t be decided before the Aug. 10 council meeting at the earliest, and then the select committee may want more studies taken, he said. Jeff Solomon, Colliery Dam Park Preservation Society leader called it “a step in the right direction about establishing a process that would be productive.” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Optimism rises for Wildwood land Land Conservancy considers Ecoforestry Institute Society’s $900,000 purchase offer for property DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

There were two small victories this week for the self-described guardians of a sustainable demonstration forest once operated by the late Merv Wilkinson in Yellow Point. The Land Conservancy is considering the Ecoforestry Institute Society’s $900,000 purchase

offer on the property. That was Monday. Then on Tuesday a crucial B.C. Supreme Court hearing passed without removing the property’s protected status. Monday at 2 p.m. was TLC’s deadline to respond to the purchase offer, which was recently increased from an earlier offer of $600,000.

A few hours short of the deadline TLC came back with a request for a one-week extension to further consider it. “This is the first time TLC has stated an intent to consider our bid and we are pleased to enter into serious negotiations on the basis of this strong offer,” said EIS chairman Peter Jungwirth. Madam Justice Shelley C. Fitz-

patrick heard TLC’s application Tuesday to change its bylaws to allow the sale of 28 of its properties, to help clear some of its $8 million in debts. TLC needed that court approval to strike an “inalienability” clause from its bylaws which prevented it from transferring 28 of its properties to The Nature Conservancy of Canada and The

Nature Trust of B.C. Supporters worried that could spill over to Wildwood. “The judge allowed the 28 properties, leaving Wildwood protected,” said Kathy Code, spokeswoman for the group. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Nanaimo woman quickly identiﬁes scam DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

When a Nanaimo woman got word she’d won $40 million and a new Mercedes Benz, she knew it was a scam. An active captain in the Nanaimo Block Watch program, Joy Livingstone has heard plenty of lines used to reel people in to hand over their savings. When a man who identified himself as ‘Scott Davis’ told her she’d won a big prize, she said: “I don’t believe a word of what you are saying.” The man said he was with Ontario Lottery and Gaming, and could be at her house in 30 minutes. She said not to bother, then after a few more words, she hung up. Just before Davis was disconnected, Joy Livingstone heard him say: “One after the other, they don’t believe me.” Police say she handled it correctly. “She was assertive and would not fall for the obvious fraud,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP. “She ended the conversation on her terms and then reported it to the police and her Block Watch.” Phone frauds “seem to be more prevalent now,” O’Brien said. “We get reports almost every day.” While the stories change over time, the approach is always the same. “They offer a reward, but there’s always a catch. It may be an administrative fee, or they may need credit card information. We tell people anytime there’s a catch, it’s fraud.” Con artists sometimes go doorto-door, offering repairs they

Charity canvassers carry photo identification. Common phone frauds include the caller pretending to be a long lost grandson hospitalized with injuries, or arrested and in need of money. Increasingly, residents have

had calls from people claiming to be RCMP collecting fines for income taxes or other reasons. RCMP officers never collect fines or taxes and never asks people to make a payment over the telephone.

As for fake lottery winnings, “you only win a lotto if you bought a ticket,” O’Brien said. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

BUSINESS

Market for ‘tiny homes’ grows ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Patrick Whelan has big plans for his fledgling business, Rewild Homes. Whelan and his staff currently create custom-built “tiny homes” for clients in the Nanaimo area, with the hope that the business will take off to cover the rest of Vancouver Island, the province and beyond. He said the homes, which are custom-made to the customers needs and specifications, have all the amenities, including kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. Whelan said the target customers for the small homes, which also come with trailers to transport them if required, include students and young professionals wanting an affordable starter

home to retirees and homeowners looking to add another source of income to their property. He said the costs for each home can range from $20,000 to approximately $60,000, depending on what the customer wants in the unit. “There’s a very vast market for these types of homes that is growing internationally, so we are hoping to corner the market here in Nanaimo first, and then spread out to other areas as we go,” he said. “We’ve already built and sold two units, are in the process of building a third and we have eight more lined up to construct right now. It typically takes anywhere from four to 10 weeks to build one.” Whelan said that as well as satisfying his entrepreneurial vision to build a successful com-

pany, his small homes make a difference locally by bringing affordable housing and alternative RV options to Vancouver Island. He said he became attracted to the minimalist movement in the U.S., which encourages people to live as simply as possible, and thought he could bring some concepts of that movement to the region with his small homes. “We won a business plan competition at Vancouver Island University earlier this year and received fantastic support from the local business community for our efforts,” he said.

Distracted driving laws are sadly necessary

eeing drivers talking and texting behind the wheel continues to be a daily occurrence in Nanaimo and other cities around the province. For sure, stricter laws, increased enforcement and media messages in the past few years have been effective in reducing somewhat those who will use their electronic devices while driving. And it’s still not enough. While the aim needs to be to eliminate distracted driving, as in drinking and driving we have to acknowledge there will remain those stubborn few who will refuse to respect this necessary law. At least in this city, we have yet to see distracted driving considered as a serious infraction by the majority of people.

Evidence that too many drivers in the region continue to fail to see that there is a very good reason for this law — if not serious consequences — comes from the Nanaimo RCMP. Some, say Mounties, try to hide their cellphones in large plastic cups. Police also report a motorcyclist going 110 km/h and hour with no hands as he adjusted the music on his phone. The woman caught on video curling her hair while driving would be amusing if the risk she presented was not so serious. Then there is the investigation into a recent accident that closed the Nanaimo Parkway at Northfield Road for eight hours. Police are looking at whether one of the parties was using a cellphone at the time of that crash.

There were a couple of moments when we all could have acted to prevent what is now in essence a crackdown. The first was when cellphones became widespread and many of us failed to be responsible with their use while driving. Then came the resulting laws restricting their use and providing fines, which is also not working so well. And now the province is considering — which means it will likely become a reality within the next 12 months — stronger penalties. Given that B.C. has the second-lowest distracted-driving fines in the country, and the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police has called for stiffer fines as a deterrent, the province now has to do something.

That something means increasing fines from the current $167 for using an electronic device while driving and added demerit points for texting. Police in some cases can charge someone under the Motor Vehicle Act with driving without due care and attention, which can hit $350 or higher. But the real issue here is not enforcement but responsibility. Everyone who drives now knows that using an electronic device behind the wheel is illegal. So why do so many continue do it? There may be many excuses and police have probably heard them all. But behind the excuses is the choice to take an action which we know is illegal and for a good reason. This is not, as some may still try to argue, a bad law that can and should be ignored.

An American public service announcement runs through a litany of unusual and risky places where a person would not text before asking why would you do it while driving. The point is that no matter how competent a person is as a driver, no matter how certain they are they can drive and use an electronic device at the same, it’s not worth the risk. None of us like the idea of the so-called “nanny state,” but this is an example of where our actions, or lack thereof, have resulted in the necessity of a crackdown. If distracted driving is tempting, you may soon be also tempting a very fat fine by doing so. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

Recently Jim Corder opined about having Don Cherry mediate political debates. There may be some merit to that as Grapes’ colourful wardrobe is in stark contrast to Harper’s bland sweaters. As a mediator he would be expected to be neutral, but I’m sure if he were to comment on Harper’s zero for nine Supreme Court history, that would also be colourful. Of course if Harper does scrap the Senate, that will be another fight he led with his chin and Grapes would be the referee.

deal to the Greater Nanaimo Water District, the body that controlled our water supply in the 1970s. They had the foresight and ability to make the decision to plan and construct the dam. Today we are able to enjoy a safe, abundant potable water supply, unlike many other communities in the province. We are indebted to members of the Greater Nanaimo Water District such as Rod Glen, Alex Virostko, Scotty Sutherland, Sandy McKay, and Bus McDonald, who under their leadership, ensured the City of Nanaimo has the water we enjoy today. Let’s hope present and future council’s don’t frivolously give away our precious resource. We are fortunate to have one of the best quantity and quality water supplies in the country.

Re: ‘Creativity is the answer to tourism question’ (Our View, Daily News, July 28) There has been no creative thinking in this city since Frank Ney. We have been fooling around with the hotel for the convention centre for years with no luck. At the time they built the convention centre I suggested that they buy a

large cruse ship and permanently dock it as a convention centre and tourist attraction. My idea was not acknowledged. There were dozens of beautiful well-appointed ships available at bargain prices that would have attracted tourists who can not afford the real thing. Today I suggest that this city really make a supreme effort to buy a foot ferry that would have a definite effect on the amount of tourists coming here. Package tours for overnight stays and bus tours of the local area would do far more than what is now happening and would likely attract a real live hotel builder. Gardo D. Gurr Nanaimo

Civil disobedience over dams is not warranted A group of folks in Nanaimo appear to be planning protests and civil disobedience to prevent construction of the auxiliary spillway. Civil disobedience is an important part of a democracy and has changed society for the better in modern times. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi saw injustice that they were prepared to right even at great personal cost. The proposed work at Colliery Dams Park does not rise to the level of injustice nor does it rise to the level of environmental impact deserving a response of civil dis-

obedience. In many infrastructure projects which have intervenors there will be experts on both sides of the issue interpreting the data and analysis to present their side of the argument. In the end a technical board, judge, government agency or other arbitrator will be empowered to render a decision which one side may not like. That process may not be perfect but it is fair and democratic. Protesting this spillway decision through interference with construction is not warranted and will cost taxpayers even more than has already been wasted on this project. Contractors will build in a risk premium to allow for delays. Police overtime, legal, incarceration, and additional city staff costs are likely to be incurred. Protesters should as a minimum create their own funding to pay all of these costs themselves. In addition they need to be prepared to pay the potential $1 million/day fine from the province for obstruction of a provincial order.

RECREATION

Vancouver Islanders love to do some camping ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

Top 10 Island parks

amping numbers on Vancouver Island are well on their way to matching last summer’s record-breaking statistics that saw more people camp at provincial parks than in the past decade. In the 2014 fiscal year (April 2014 to March 2015) 541,431 people camped in a provincial park on the Island, well above the 10-year average of 491,567. Closest to last year’s number was the 2009 fiscal year when 533,288 people camped. Of all of those parks, Rathtrevor Beach Park was the most popular by more than 30,000 with 90,252 people camping there in the 2014 fiscal year. Rathtrevor is predominantly full for the rest of this summer, with only one reservation available for a van site throughout the rest of July and August. Behind Rathtrevor in the 2014 year, Goldstream (58,157), Miracle Beach (48,858), Strathcona (37,933) and Gordon Bay (35,258) completed the top five most popular parks to camp on the Island. Rob Littlejohn, general manager at Living Forest Oceanside Campground and RV Park in Nanaimo, says this year has been his busiest ever. Since Living Forest opened 21 years ago, Littlejohn says the campground has seen a steady increase in campers ever since. “We’ve been really busy this year, a lot busier than ever before,” he said. “Since we opened, we’ve done a little better every year and definitely seen an increase.” Littlejohn agrees the hot weather conditions have helped to draw more people out this year.

State of the Island For the first time, the Vancou-

The VIEA has long held a desire to produce an annual report specific to the Island economy, but has not had the financial means to accomplish the task until now, according to Dave Willie, chairman of this year’s summit. He said the report is made possible this year because of the initiative and sponsorship of MNP and by additional sponsorship from the Nanaimo Airport, Coastal Community Credit Union, BC Ferries, BC Hydro, and the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. “The Economic Alliance has for years recognized the importance of having a clear statistical understanding of the Island economy to aid business and government decisions, as well as to inform and attract investment,” Willie said. “With the generous financial support and expertise of MNP, we are finally able to report on the ‘state of the Island economy’ with confidence.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Kamloops afﬂicted by plague of grafﬁti Problem also raising tension between city and Canada Post “Every new thing the city put up was hit. Lots of vulgarity, lots of racial (slurs) — even if it’s spelled wrong, you know what the racial stuff is.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Racist and vulgar graffiti, some of it misspelled, is keeping officials in Kamloops, B.C., so busy that the group tasked with cleaning it up is calling this “the worst summer ever.” Graffiti is defacing public buildings, private strata developments, and even the local lodge run by the Elks of Canada in the city of more than 85,500 people in the province’s Interior. The problem is also raising tension levels between the city and Canada Post, with residents urging local officials to fine the Crown corporation for being too slow to clean up graffiti. Ronnie Bouvier, who heads the local anti-graffiti task force, told a committee of city council on Monday that her team has cleaned or painted over about 90 square metres of tags and racial slurs every day this summer, with one marathon session tackling 270 square metres. “Every new thing the city put up was hit,” she said. “Lots of vulgarity, lots of racial (slurs) — even if it’s spelled wrong, you know what the racial stuff is.” Parks have been hit particular-

ly badly in the last month, Bouvier said, noting one needed her group’s attention multiple times per week. “We had to go at five in the morning to Riverside Park after Canada Day. We’ve never had to do that.” Some private strata developments are also being hit with racial slurs and the task force had to repaint the Elks lodge due to graffiti, she said. Gay Pooler of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association wants the city to look into issuing fines against Canada Post for not cleaning up graffiti left on its mail boxes fast enough. The city’s bylaws require prop-

erty owners to remove graffiti in a timely manner or face a fine. “I think Canada Post should be held to the same standards as my businesses,” said Pooler. Jon Wilson, the city’s community safety manager, said the anti-graffiti task force used to clean mail boxes but Canada Post didn’t renew its contract with the group, and now local officials are exploring their options. “It is on public land, so there is some obligation out there to maintain to a certain standard,” said Wilson. Mayor Peter Milobar said he has tried to raise the issue with the postal service and was told residents need to call Canada Post’s customer-service line, where complaints are logged, after which the graffiti is supposed to be removed within 48 hours. “I told them they’re not,” said Milobar, “but they said they certainly are. You just have to keep phoning.” A Canada Post spokesman said “hateful” graffiti is supposed to be cleaned up by a contractor within 24 hours, but there’s a two-day clean up window for other tags.

The family of a reservist who died on a military base in Manitoba says Pte. Kirby Tott felt privileged to serve his country. Tott, who was 25, died Saturday while learning to reinforce a trench at Canadian Forces Base Shilo. The military says Tott suddenly collapsed and there were no vehicles or equipment involved. An autopsy is underway to determine the cause of death. Tott was a corrections officer from Prince George who belonged to a reserve regiment called the Rocky Mountain Rangers.

If you are looking for a heritage property with lots of character, the City of Cranbrook may have the listing for you — as long as you’re in the market for a fire hall. Councillors in the city have set the price for Fire Hall No. 1, a two-storey, 640-square-metre brick building built in 1929. They hope to fetch $349,000 for the hall, which comes with three large truck bays, a smaller adjoining garage and a separate side entrance, but no word on a fire pole. The fire department moved out last year.

The BC Coroners Service says a 40-year-old man has died in a “speed-flying” accident. Speed-flying is a new sport similar to paragliding, but uses a significantly smaller wing, designed to provide a rapid descent.

The man took off from the first peak of the granite cliffs of the Stawamus Chief mountain shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday. He hit the tree shortly after taking off.

Mounties in Alberta say the discovery of a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remains in the same area where three other women have been found could mean police are dealing with a serial killer. RCMP Insp. Stacey Talbot said Tuesday that the remains found in April on a rural property near Leduc, south of Edmonton, have been identified as those of Corrie Ottenbreit. Ottenbreit, an Edmonton prostitute, disappeared after telling her husband and child she was going out to work the streets.

Digital hacking collective Anonymous made good late Monday on a threat to release what it says is the first of many sensitive documents. The Canadian Press could not confirm the documentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authenticity. A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, would not comment.

The federal Green party is making a national pharmacare plan a key plank of its election platform. The party says it would make affordable medicine a reality for all Canadians while saving billions of dollars. Green party Leader Elizabeth May says the plan would ensure two million Canadians have access to prescriptive medications that they otherwise could not afford. The party says its approach would apply greater rigour to drug registration,

chief of defence staff Gen. Tom Lawson. Stalker, 40, is charged with three counts of sexual assault, four counts of sexual exploitation and one count each of sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and breach of trust by a public officer. He appeared in an Edmonton courtroom on Tuesday and was released on $2,500 bail under conditions that include staying away from places where children gather, having no contact with cadets younger than 18 and giving up his passport. His next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 20.

Sisters say police wrong to stop them for topless biking

Obama brings frank message to Africa

MICHELLE MARK THE CANADIAN PRESS

Three sisters in Ontario are demanding an apology from a police officer who they said stopped the women as they were riding their bicycles topless and told them to cover up. Alysha Brilla, a Juno-nominated musician and women’s rights advocate, said the incident happened last Friday when she and her two sisters — Tameera and Nadia Mohamed — were biking late in the evening down a quiet street in Kitchener. A police officer driving by in an SUV saw the women, rolled down his window and told them they needed to put shirts on because it

ALYSHA BRILLA

was the law, Brilla said. The 26-year-old said she pointed out that the officer was wrong about the law and then started filming the interaction on her cellphone. The officer backtracked by saying he only wanted to check if the women had proper bells and lights on their bicycles, Brilla said.

When the sisters were told they were free to go, they headed for the police station to complain about the incident. “When my sisters and I were biking down the road we weren’t like, ’Woohoo, look at our tits!’ No. Just like male riders, we have these benign fat deposits with nipples on our chests,” Brilla said. “The social context is obviously different, but that’s what we’re trying to shift.” Brilla said she and her sisters have seen plenty of male cyclists going shirtless on hot summer days. Women should feel free to do the same without attracting attention or being harassed and questioned, she said.

Talks not of aid, but democracy, security, rights JULIE PACE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — President Barack Obama arrived in East Africa with no big American aid packages, no ramped up U.S. military resources for fighting terror groups and no new initiatives with billions in government backing. Instead, he brought a frank message on democracy, corruption and security that could perhaps be delivered only by a Western leader viewed in Africa as a local son. “The future of Africa is up to Africans,” Obama said during a trip to Kenya and Ethiopia that concluded Tuesday. “For too long, I think that many looked to the outside for salvation and focused on somebody else being at fault for the problems of the continent.” The president’s advisers reject the notion that Obama’s policy toward Africa is all talk, pointing to the long-term potential of initiatives to boost power access and food security for millions on the continent. They stress the importance of America’s first black president, one with a sprawling family still living in Kenya, capitalizing on his ability to speak not as a lecturing Westerner, but as someone with a personal stake in the continent’s success. “He is someone who is broadly respected by not just the leaders, but the peoples of these countries, especially young populations who make up an increasing percentage of these countries,” said Ben

Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “So, for that reason, I think people pay close attention to what he has to say.” “That doesn’t mean that they’re going to agree with everything he says, but I think he can lay out a direction that he thinks the U.S.-African partnership can go in,” Rhodes added. Indeed, Obama closed his East Africa swing with a blunt accounting of the risks facing the fast-growing continent. He compared Africa’s large youth population to the Middle East, warning that without jobs and prospects for the future, young Africans are more likely to be drawn to terrorism. He warned of the “cancer of corruption” that runs rampant through some African governments, a problem he

said only the continent’s leaders could solve. And with high-level African officials in the audience for his remarks at African Union headquarters, he launched a blistering and sometimes sarcastic takedown of leaders who refuse to leave office when their terms end. “Let me be honest with you — I just don’t understand this,” he said, drawing cheers from many in the crowd. “I actually think I’m a pretty good president. I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t.” Obama’s predecessors have also pushed for good governance and respect for human rights in Africa. But none had the instant credibility African leaders confer on Obama, whose visit was heralded as a homecoming.

Hunter says he didn’t know lion was protected BRIAN BAKST AND AMY FORLITI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — An avid American hunter accused of illegally killing a protected lion in Zimbabwe said Tuesday that he thought everything about his trip was legal and wasn’t aware of the animal’s status “until the end of the hunt.” Walter Palmer, who has a felony record in the U.S. related to shooting a black bear in Wisconsin, released his statement through a public relations firm after being identified by Zimbabwean authorities as the American involved in the July hunt. They said he is being sought on poaching charges, but Palmer said he hasn’t heard from U.S. or Zimbabwean authorities. “I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favourite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise

“I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favourite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt.” Walter Palmer, hunter

of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt,” said Palmer, a dentist who lives in the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie. According to U.S. court records, Palmer pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin.

Palmer had a permit to hunt but shot the animal outside the authorized zone in 2006, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, according to court documents. He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000. Doug Kelley, a former federal prosecutor and Palmer’s attorney in the bear case, was unavailable for immediate comment Tuesday, according to his assistant. Palmer was identified by the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe and police as the American facing poaching charges for the crossbow killing of Cecil, a well-known and protected lion. The animal’s death has outraged animal conservationists and others. Local authorities in Zimbabwe allege the lion was lured from a protected area and killed in early July. Zimbabwean conservation-

Palmer’s ethics were being called into question. He said Palmer’s domestic records could be jeopardized if he’s found to have done something illegal abroad. A Facebook page for Palmer’s Minnesota dental practice was taken Tuesday after users flooded it with comments condemning Palmer’s involvement in the hunt. Hundreds of similar comments inundated a page for his dental practice on the review platform Yelp, which prior to Tuesday had only three comments. Palmer is properly licensed and able to practice in the state, according to the Minnesota Board of Dentistry. Board records show that Palmer was the subject of a sexual harassment complaint settled in 2006, with Palmer admitting no wrongdoing and agreeing to pay a former receptionist more than $127,000.

No one answered the door at his home, and a woman who came out of his dental office in nearby Bloomington said he wasn’t there and wasn’t taking patients Tuesday. Phone calls to listed home numbers went unanswered. Palmer has several hunts on record with the Pope and Young Club, where archers register big game taken in North America for posterity, said Glenn Hisey, the club’s director of records. Hisey said he didn’t have immediate access to records showing the types and number of animals killed by Palmer, but noted that club records involve legal hunts “taken under our rules of fair chase.” Although African game wouldn’t be eligible, Hisey said he alerted the group’s board that

FINE WINE

HAPPY GRAPES, TASTY WINE Cowichan’s Cherry Point Estate Winery excels by taking what the soil offers

Bete Noir Gran Reserva is a red worth tasting Sheila Hockin The Lucky Gourmet

ne of the oldest wineries on our fair Vancouver Island is Cherry Point Estate Winery. Located just off the Island Highway in Cobble Hill, its 24-acre vineyard has been interestingly planted to follow the dictates of the land and not the wine market specifically. Why does that make a difference? Quite simply, the happier the grapes, the better the wine. The land makes the grapes, and the grapes make the wine. The plantings were calculated by an agricultural engineer in 1990, following an age-old adage

of planting according to what the land will give. Some grapes, for instance, like to grow in the clay soils of the valleys while others prefer stony hillocks. That is why the Cherry Point Ortega sells out each year. No more can be produced since there are no more clay soil valleys at Cherry Point, which the Ortega grape needs to flourish. By the time current owners Xavier and Maria Bonilla purchased the winery in 2009, the vineyards of Cherry Point were well-established and flourishing. With more than 35 years of agricultural experience, it was easy for Xavier to choose such a wellthought out vineyard to nurture. Using a very European approach to his wine making, Xavier can produce wines of exceptional varietal character from 100 per cent estate-grown grapes.

The Pinot Blanc from Cherry Point is a prime example of the grape making the wine. True to form, this grape displays aromas of green apple, citrus and orchard blossoms in the wine. On the palate, flavours of peaches, delicate apricot and crisp minerals abound. The acidity of this wine makes it the perfect partner for rich creamy dishes, waking up and cleansing your palate between bites. The value price point of $21 is easily appreciated by the complexity and depth in your glass. Often you will hear the lamentation that Vancouver Island reds, outside of the Pinot Noir grape that likes our cool, coastal climate, leave something to be desired. Cherry Point Bete Noire Gran Reserva is an exception to this slight truism. This rich, red wine is a blend of Castel and Agria

grapes, reminiscent of a Rioja blend from Spain. Loaded with juicy plum flavours, enhanced by a good hit of earthy bouquet, the deep-coloured red wine has great tannins. Just a hint of vanilla alongside tart cherry lingers on the tongue. Pair it with a blue-cheese topped steak and you will truly experience a match made in culinary heaven. This structured wine opens up when decanted and at $21 a bottle, it represents great value. Lucky’s Liquor Store at Country Club Centre Mall in Nanaimo stocks numerous well-made wines from Cherry Point Estate Winery where the land makes the grapes and the grapes make the wine. Come sample these delicious wines in our dispenser which will be available any time the store is open Monday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

SPECIALTY FOODS

Diversity and range of cheese is matched by its long and fascinating old world history Eric McLean Say Cheese!

n the immortal words of Ben Gunn in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, “many’s the long night I’ve dreamed of cheese, toasted mostly.” And who can blame him? It’s hard to beat a good toasted cheese sandwich! Cheese is often referred to as “milk’s leap to immortality” and is an ancient food, created possibly accidentally, as a means to save and preserve perishable milk and all its nutrients. Although most cheese we buy today came to the New World from Europe with the settlers, cheese has its true origins in the Middle East and was probably

made with camel’s milk. But it is around the Mediterranean that production and consumption really developed especially in countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, and France before spreading to other more northern European countries. Cheese can be made from the milk of many animals but the earliest ones were made from sheep and goat’s milk, since both of these animals were domesticated before cattle in those Mediterranean countries where the topography is much better suited to sheep and goats than to cattle. Many of the cheeses from this area go back a long way and one of the best known of those ancient ones is French Roquefort, the original blue cheese, which was well known in Roman times and beyond. Roquefort is a magnificent cheese, made from ewe’s milk and still matured in the same limestone caves as it

always has been. Popular theories suggest that Roquefort was originally hidden in the caves to protect it from the marauding Romans! Sounds romantic but who knows? Soft and delicately crumbly, it melts in the mouth and has a delicious sharp tang. But blue cheeses are just one of the many variations of this great milk product called cheese. The most popular and most copied of all is cheddar, which originates in the town of the same name in Somerset in the south of England, where it has been made since around the 12th century. Cheese came to England from France at the time of the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century and Cheddar’s close cousin Cheshire is actually mentioned in the Doomsday Book which was written around that time. All of this is a far cry from much of the artificially coloured mass-produced product that passes for cheddar these days.

So you can see that the New World is indeed new when it comes to cheese. Nowadays, there are a few traditional Cheddars still being made in the old farmhouse way, cloth wrapped and put away to mature for up to two years. The result is a lovely crumbly and tangy creation with fruity hints of pineapple and citrus, bearing no resemblance to the over processed cheddar style products made so popular by the huge conglomerates which dominate cheese production today. Next time we’ll look at the many different styles of this amazing food called cheese and even throw in a few recipes for you to try. » Eric McLean is the owner of McLean’s Specialty Foods in Nanaimo and a member of the Guilde Internationale Des Fromagers.

Eileen Bennewith Nutrition Notes

Choose well when dining out with kids W

hen was the last time you ate in a restaurant with your children? Statistics show that close to 40 per cent of the Canadian food dollar is spent in food service outlets. If eating out is going to be a way of life in Canada, it is important for the health of our population that we know what is in the food served and that restaurants are willing to provide healthy options. The so-called “family friendly” restaurants where you are welcome to bring children often carry very unhealthy food choices. To make it even more difficult for parents, many restaurants have children’s menus on colouring sheets that offer cheap, high fat, high sugar, high salt and high calorie choices. This unhealthy food can be served at a much reduced cost because you get what you pay for. Parents need to ask themselves whether these are the choices they really want for themselves and their children. With the recent concern about weight in both children and adults, it is time to take a look at what is appearing on the plates in restaurants. Many families choose not to order from the children’s menu. You can always use the adult menu for cooked meats, bean dishes, vegetables, salads, whole grains and fruit which can be shared with the children. Milk can be ordered as a beverage. There is no need to drink pop with unlimited refills just because you are sitting in a restaurant. If you are very thirsty, ask for a jug of water to be left on your table. People tend to forget that since they are paying for the meal, the restaurant is in the business to serve you. If most families choose to avoid the children’s menu, they will change the menu or stop having a children’s menu. Another way for families to get the kind of food they would like to order is to tell the manager of the restaurant what they would prefer on the children’s menu. If your usual restaurant is a chain where the menu is set in stone, go to their website and tell them what you need. The Healthy Families BC-Informed Dining Program is a voluntary plan that restaurants in B.C. can participate in. This program requires restaurants to disclose nutrition information on all standard menu items. Calorie and sodium content must be highlighted. Instead of putting up with unhealthy choices when you eat out, let restaurants know what kind of food you are willing to pay for and choose to eat where they have listened to you.

EU recognition of Greek-Turkish cheese may aid Cyprus uniﬁcation RAF CASERT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS — The European Union on Tuesday moved to recognize halloumi, or hellim in Turkish, as a protected cheese from both sides of the Greek-Turkish divided island of Cyprus and lauded it as a symbolic step toward further reunification. The salty, chewy cheese is perhaps Cyprus’ greatest gift

to world gastronomy and the 28-nation bloc took a major step toward full name protection by publishing its official application for the status, which would mean only cheese made in Cyprus could be called halloumi in EU countries. The island nation was forcibly divided in 1974 into a Greek Cypriot south and a Turkish Cypriot north. It joined the EU in 2004, but only the south enjoys the

benefits of membership. Decades of attempts to reunify the island have been unsuccessful despite attempts by both the EU and the United Nations. Perhaps underscoring the challenges ahead, even a deal on the cheese took months of difficult negotiations. Yet on Tuesday, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the cheese unification drive shows the com-

mitment of both sides “to work together on projects unifying the whole island.” The breakthrough came two weeks after Juncker’s visit to the island, where he met the leaders of both Greek and Turkish communities. “Halloumi/Hellim cheese symbolizes the shared heritage of the island of Cyprus,” Juncker said. Once the protection procedure is complete, Turkish Cypriot

cheese producers could export their product to the EU through southern Cypriot ports. Full approval of the halloumi procedure could still take over five months. It is extremely unlikely the island will be close to unification by then. Peace talks resumed in May after an eight-month pause triggered by a feud between the Cypriot government and Turkey over gas and oil exploration.

Canucks make a deal for Sutter Nick Bonino, Adam Clendening sent to Pittsburgh Penguins; Vancouver re-signs Sven Baertshi JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Willie Desjardins was part of the reason Brandon Sutter never made it to the second round of the Western Hockey League playoffs. Now the pair will be working together to get the Vancouver Canucks back to the NHL post-season. The club acquired Sutter and a third-round pick in 2016 from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday in a deal that sent fellow centre Nick Bonino, minor-league defenceman Adam Clendening and a second-round selection next year the other way. The most recent member of the Sutter family to play in the NHL, Brandon Sutter was with the Red Deer Rebels when Desjardins, now Vancouver’s head coach,

SUTTER

was behind the bench with the Medicine Hat Tigers. “He beat us while I was there twice in the first round of the playoffs,” Sutter said with a chuckle on a conference call. “We definitely had a bit of a rivalry in junior with both him and (Canucks forward) Derek Dorsett. It’ll be fun to be on the other side of it now.”

Canucks general manager Jim Benning said the trade for the 26-year-old Sutter solidifies things down the middle for his club and will help both now and in the future as he continues with his plan of rebuilding on the fly. “To me he’s a foundation piece for our group,” said Benning. “He’s a playoff player. When the games mean something, that’s when he’s at his best.” Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford said it was difficult deal Sutter, but it was a move he had to make considering the forward is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer with a US$3.3-million cap hit for 2015-16. “He’s actually, believe it or not, one of my favourite guys and I’ve ended up trading him twice,”

said Rutherford. “He understands the game, he understands how things work.” Benning said he hopes to get a new contract done with Sutter in the next few days and is eager to see how he meshes with the group. “He’s got high-end intangibles,” said Benning. “We have some young players that are going to make our team in the next few years. Along with the Bo Horvats and some of our other young players, Brandon will be the leader of that younger group.” Born in Huntington, N.Y., while his father Brent was playing for the Islanders, Sutter recorded 21 goals and 12 assists in 80 games with Pittsburgh last season in mostly a third-line role. In 495 career games with the Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes, he has

98 goals and 87 assists. “It’s exciting playing in Canada in a great city with a lot of support there,” said Sutter. “It’s a good, young team and I’m looking forward to getting a fresh start and trying something new.” Bonino was acquired by the Canucks last off-season in the deal that sent forward Ryan Kesler to the Anaheim Ducks.

Sr. B T-Men out for league title

Buccaneers edged in B.C. semiﬁnals

Nanaimo squad hosts Ladner Pioneers tonight in Game 1 of best-of-ﬁve ﬁnal SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

When the Nanaimo Senior B Timbermen and Ladner Pioneers meet tonight for Game 1 of the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association final, the two teams will find out who had the advantage in the lead-up to the best-offive series. The Timbermen swept the Langley Warriors in one WCSLA semifinal, which ended in Nanaimo on July 19. That means the Timbermen have had nine full days off from game action, while the Pioneers, who took five games to beat the Royal City Capitals, have only been off for five days. Tonight, the Timbermen and Pioneers, who finished in first and second place, respectively, in the WCSLA regular season, begin the league final at 7:15 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. It is the second straight year the Timbermen have reached the final, as last year they were swept by the eventual champion Tri-City Bandits in three games. The Pioneers were also defeated, in five games, by the

Bandits in the 2013 finals. The Bandits, though, finished out of the playoffs this season and in doing so opened the door for the WCSLA to crown a new champion for the first time since 2007, when the Pioneers beat Tri-City. The Timbermen, though, are well-positioned to break into

championship territory. Their veteran captain, Jon Diplock, is the engine that drives the Timbermen as he led the team in scoring in the regular season with 73 points in 14 games, the best points per game average in the league. But Diplock’s offensive threat was rarely needed against Lang-

ley, as Ryan Hanna, Derek Lowe and Steve Higgs carried the load for the Timbermen. That trio combined for 32 points in Nanaimo’s three-game sweep of the Warriors — and Higgs only played in two of them. The Timbermen also boast a goalie who has continually been known as the best in the league. Nick Patterson, the former Victoria Shamrocks netminder, tied for the league lead in wins with 12 with Ladner’s Matt Moorehouse while playing one fewer game. Patterson also had the second-best save percentage in the league behind just Nathan Wilson of the North Shore Indians, who played behind the league’s worst defence. Patterson’s goals against average of 5.85 was easily the best in the league, a credit to both him and the Timbermen defence. After tonight’s game, both teams will head to the Lower Mainland for Game 2 Friday night in Ladner. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

NEW YORK — Tom Brady’s four-game suspension for his role in using underinflated footballs during the AFC championship game has been upheld by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The league announced the decision Tuesday, with Goodell saying that the New England quarterback told an assistant to destroy Brady’s cellphone on or just before March 6. Brady met with independent investigator Ted Wells on that day. “He did so even though he was aware that the investigators had requested access to text messages and other electronic information that had been stored on that phone,” Goodell said in his — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS decision.

The Nanaimo Buccanneers came up short in their bid to win the Midget AAA B.C. Baseball championship after they lost 3-2 to the Kamloops River Dogs in the semifinal at Mariner Field on Sunday. The River Dogs ended the game with a double play to seal the victory despite the Buccanneers’ left fielder Nick Yu being awarded the game’s MVP. The Buccanneers, who hosted the tournament, won three of their four round robin games on Saturday prior to the semifinal. Jordan Blundell’s team beat Tri-Cities 2-0, South Fraser 5-2, Richmond 3-1 and suffered their only loss to the eventual champion Ridge Meadows Royals, 3-0. “It’s tough not being the last team standing at the end of the season but that’s the reality of sports,” said head coach Blundell. “But we put ourselves in a position to play on Sunday and that was our goal. I’m proud of the guys, they’ve improved and worked hard all year.” The Royals won the tournament with a 2-1 win over the River Dogs at Serauxmen Stadium and picked up the Buccanneers’ Jayden Marsh, Gus Wilson and Nate Doleman for next year — something Blundell says he was pleased about. Wilson was also named as the tournament’s top infielder. Blundell also commended the work of the Buccanneers parents and volunteers in putting on the tournament. “They put on a great show for 10 teams and stepped up huge for the community and the kids.” Ross.Armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

Lions hope for 60-minute effort

Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clubhouse chemistry altered after Reyes traded away

JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A roller-coaster start to the CFL season has the B.C. Lions searching for consistency. Great sequences have been quickly followed by long stretches where the club has looked completely out of sync, with big comebacks as likely to happen as blown leads. The most recent example came Friday when the Lions jumped out to an early 21-0 advantage on the Toronto Argonauts at home, but scored just six points the rest of the way in a stunning 30-27 collapse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be ebbs and flows to every game and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when your opportunities are going to come, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to give yourself a chance all 60 minutes,â&#x20AC;? said Lions quarterback Travis Lulay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about and working on.â&#x20AC;? At the other end of the spectrum, the Lions (2-2) looked dead in the water in their first game at B.C. Place Stadium this season before battling back to beat Saskatchewan Roughriders in overtime. They then jumped out to a big lead in the following weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch only to see the Roughriders nearly mount a comeback of their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put four quarters together is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done that yet,â&#x20AC;? said Lions head coach Jeff Tedford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown signs of being really good and then signs of sputtering.â&#x20AC;?

JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The chemistry of the Toronto Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clubhouse has been altered. Shortstop Jose Reyes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the liveliest and most popular players among his teammates in Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was sent to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday along with reliever Miguel Castro and minor-league pitchers Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco. Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and veteran reliever LaTroy Hawkins were sent to Toronto in return. Although the deal made good

B.C. visits the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-3) on Thursday and will be looking to avoid another Jekyll-and-Hyde performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a good team, but we have to show now that we can consistently do that for 60 minutes, night in night out,â&#x20AC;? said Lions slotback Courtney Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you work for. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to happen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be given to you.â&#x20AC;? One player who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had anything handed to him by the Lions in the early going is rookie running back Shaquille Murray-Lawrence.

prepared. Is this really necessary since I have my front teeth? Replacing missing teeth in your mouth is important. Your teeth are meant to function as a team and support each other, so loosing even one can cause an adjacent tooth to tilt and drift and result in difficulties later on. Sometimes the opposing tooth can grow into the empty space and lock you into Darren Hoffman an unhealthy bite while the loss of anterior teeth causes the force of your bite to shift to your front teeth which were designed for tearing food, not for the force of chewing. This can cause additional stress and wear and misalign your bite affecting your ability to chew your food properly. Spaces left by missing teeth can also result in bone loss and are more difficult to clean increasing your risk of developing gum disease. Fortunately, there are several alternatives for replacing missing teeth depending on your unique situation and your budget and it is important to talk with your dentist about the best option for you. If you require a partial denture a denturist can discuss the best type for your circumstances.

is the difference between a Mobile Q: What home and a Modular Home?

The main differences between Modular and Manufactured (aka mobile homes) are construction standards, materials and foundations. Manufactured / Mobile homes are built on a steel frame and are normally placed on wood blocking, concrete pillars and sometimes on metal posts. Modular homes are built with a wood floor system and are designed to go on either a crawlspace or a basement. Modular homes are built to Canadian Standards Association CSA-A277 (Canadian National Building Code) and are built to meet BC Building Code. These Standard Specifications can Realtor include engineered floor trusses, 2 x 6 exterior walls, 8â&#x20AC;&#x2122; & 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ceilings and primed and painted drywall. Building structural module homes indoors, in a controlled environment, resolves many problems typical of conventional on-site building. Both materials and schedules are less vulnerable to weather conditions. Tolerances are more exact and quality more consistent. Costs are lower and prices and completion dates more reliable, as the work of specialized tradesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workers is more easily scheduled and coordinated. Full testing of plumbing, wiring, heating and other systems before Modules leave the factory ensures every completed structure still meets the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exacting CSA approved standards. Deerwood Estates is a gated community and the Modular homes were built by Retire West, a family owned company with a solid reputation earned through 26 years of planning, development and management of Modular home communities in BC. Deerwood Estates is distinguished by quality in design and construction and is a Hallmark in tasteful landscaping and attention to detail in the development of streetscapes and generous green space.

Q: A:

PHARMACIST

What is a safe, non-toxic, organic type of sunscreen for a baby? Babies and children are especially susceptible to the harmful effects of the sun, so extra steps to protect their skin and to prevent sunburns should be taken. Babies younger than 6 months should be completely kept out of direct sunlight. Babies should be dressed in lightweight clothing, a T-shirt or other covering, and a wide brimmed hat if they have to be in the sun. Stay in the shade between 11am and 3 pm. Using a sunscreen on an infant should be David Duncan the last line of defence against the sun and should only B.SC. (Pharm) R.P.E.B.C. be used if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unable to keep him or her out of the sun and are unable to cover exposed skin. Use a small Pharmacist/ Manager amount on uncovered areas, such as on hands or ears and check for any skin reactions. Toddlers and older children should definitely use a sunscreen. There are physical and chemical type sunscreens. Make sure you look for a product that is labelled â&#x20AC;&#x153;broad-spectrumâ&#x20AC;? which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Also, choose a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, of 30 or more. Remember, no sunscreen, no matter how high the factor, can offer 100% protection against the sun. Sunscreens should be applied 15-30 minutes before going in the sun and should be applied liberally and frequently. Ask your pharmacist to help choose a suitable sunscreen for the needs of your child.

Arizona Cardinals training camp coach Dr. Jen Welter speaks as head coach Bruce Arians listens, Tuesday, in Tempe, Ariz. [AP PHOTO]

Cards hire female coach as an intern BOB BAUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. — Jen Welter accepts the title of trailblazer, embraces the chance to be a role model for girls and, perhaps most of all, can’t wait to get beyond the hype and on to work when the Arizona Cardinals open training camp this weekend. It’s only a six-week internship coaching inside linebackers for the Cardinals, through training camp and the four preseason games. Nonetheless, it marks another barrier broken for women in sports. Welter said she never dared entertain the thought of coaching in the NFL. “I didn’t even dream that it was possible,” she said at news conference at Cardinals headquarters Tuesday. “I think the beauty of this is that, though it’s a dream I never could have had, now it’s a dream other girls can grow up and have. So I guess if that makes me a trailblazer, then.” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians finished her sentence. “She’s a trailblazer,” he said. Team President Michael Bidwill said the move has the enthusiastic support of the organization, which has long been known for hiring minorities for management positions. Bidwill said he spoke Monday night with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who congratulated the Cardinals on the move. Known as Dr. Jen back in Texas, Welter has a PhD in psychology as well as a season as a player on a men’s team, the Texas Revolution of the Indoor Football League. There are a lot of people who are better than her at the X’s and O’s of football, she said, “but the heart factor, the intelligent player factor, the being-the-person-with-the-motor-who-won’t-quit factor, those are things I know I can add to.” Welter is the latest woman to enter what had been a men-only position. In April, the NFL announced that Sarah Thomas would be the league’s first full-time female official.

est switched to the deuce of spades for the three, king and ace. Declarer continued with a diamond towards the dummy winning the king when West played low. A heart was advanced towards the closed hand but the jack was inserted when East contributed the deuce. West scored the queen and cleared trump by playing queen and another. South won in hand and tried the effect of the king of hearts. East was entitled to two heart tricks but eight tricks were home, N-S +110. East had performed well by not rising with the ace of hearts but it was quite clear from the auction that declarer held heart length. South had the option of overcalling two hearts which would not be a cuebid but natural, showing long and strong hearts. When the opponents have bid two suits, an overcall in either suit is natural. South had two ways to reveal length in the unbid suits. He could offer a takeout double or an Unusual NT overcall (1NT or 2NT). E-W had been wise to subside on this layout since they have nowhere to play even though theyholda22-18HCP advantage. West’s resolve to open one club instead of 1NT was odd as was the decision to rebid a modest five-bagger.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 29) This year you encounter many sudden changes. You might not want to accept each one, but you still should be aware of what is being offered.

Tell cheaters that you know about their activities Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox Dear Annie: My wife and I were married in a double wedding with her sister. Two years later, my new brother-in-law began boasting to me of his philandering. He rationalized it by claiming that as long as his wife knew nothing about it, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurting her. I told this to my wife and asked whether we should tell her sister, but she said not to. Over the next several years, their marriage seemed strained, and after 30 years together, they finally split up.

I never pulled those kinds of shenanigans, and my wife and I happily celebrated our 60th anniversary recently. I have always wondered, though, whether we did the right thing by not telling her sister 58 years ago. Perhaps if we had, she might have left him then and her whole life could have changed for the better. What is your opinion? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; E.C. Dear E.C.: This question comes up a lot in our column. Sixty years ago, the threat of contracting herpes or HIV wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an issue. And unlike other sexually transmitted diseases, these are not curable. They require long-term treatment and monitoring. These diseases changed the landscape when it came to telling someone about an affair that was otherwise not really their business. There are women who say they would want to know and feel

betrayed when they discover that friends and family members didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell them. There are an equal number of women who shoot the messenger, opting to close their eyes and stay in the marriage, often cutting off contact with the person who told the truth. Our opinion is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to confront the cheater, letting him know you are aware of his actions and could tell the spouse, and suggesting counselling. Your wife made the determination that her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage was not her business and that Sis would prefer not to know. Even if Sis was aware of the cheating, she may not have wanted a divorce when such a move still carried a social stigma. Hindsight is 20/20, but in the moment, there is no way to know how someone will respond and how their lives will change. You make the decision you think is best at the time.

Dear Annie: Are there any websites devoted to helping people find nursing homes or assisted living facilities for relatives who moved to other states and did not plan for when they got older? These people do not have family members who live nearby, and now their far-flung nieces and nephews are trying to help them out. I am sure others around the country deal with this and could use some guidance, too. Where do we go for help? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marie Dear Marie: Medicare offers an excellent guide for choosing a nursing home, along with other free publications and resources on their website at medicare.gov. Just type â&#x20AC;&#x153;find nursing homeâ&#x20AC;? in the search box. People who are considering retiring to warmer climates away from their families may want to check this out and be prepared for whatever happens down the road.

Seahawks prepare for 2015 camp

Sam will make debut in August

Contract negotiations hanging over players’ heads as they head toward the season NEW TOY: Whether Wilson gets a contract extension completed, he’ll have another new offensive toy this season: tight end Jimmy Graham. Training camp will be the first opportunity to see how Graham can use his size and athleticism in the framework of Seattle’s offence that is conservative compared to the passhappy system he’s coming from in New Orleans.

TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — Forget about the Seattle Seahawks suffering from a “Super Hangover” after what happened in February. The events of the closing seconds in the Super Bowl became a secondary story line for the Seahawks this off-season, replaced by the ongoing questions about quarterback Russell Wilson’s long-term future in Seattle. It was expected that Wilson would sign a contract extension that would keep him in a Seahawks uniform for years, make him one of the top paid quarterbacks in the NFL, and be structured in a way to help Seattle remain competitive through the life of the deal. Except that didn’t happen. Wilson is about to start training camp under the final year of his rookie contract, making $1.5 million with no guarantee beyond this season. It’s created an air of uncertainty around a franchise that’s been solid — until now — locking up key pieces for the future.

“Whether I’m fortunate enough to receive a lot of money for a lot of hardearned work or I’m still working for it every day, I’m never going to change in that aspect of it all,” Wilson said. Seattle took care of Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright, Cliff Avril and Marshawn Lynch with new contracts in recent years. But the Seahawks struck out so far with Wilson, have yet to lock up All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, and also are dealing with defensive end Michael Ben-

nett and linebacker Bruce Irvin being unhappy with their contract situations. The contracts have quieted the talk of Seattle’s stunning Super Bowl loss to New England, but brought a new circle of questions and distractions. “Last year’s issues that we dealt with are different than this year’s issues that we dealt with, but they can be issues that cause problems just the same, winning and losing,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Here’s what to watch as the Seahawks open training camp at team headquarters Friday:

CENTER OF ATTENTION: The departure of Max Unger in the trade that brought Graham to Seattle leaves centre as one of the biggest uncertainties entering camp. The Seahawks used a variety of options during the

off-season program, but the likely candidates are Patrick Lewis and Lemuel Jeanpierre. The pair combined to start seven games last season when Unger was out due to injury.

BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Michael Sam’s CFL debut is getting closer, but Montreal Alouettes coach Tom Higgins won’t say exactly when it will be. Some time in August, perhaps as early as Saturday in Calgary, the defensive end who gained fame as the first active pro football player who is openly gay will get into a game. “He’s going to see the field in August, but we have five games in August, four on the road,” Higgins said Tuesday. “He is getting so much closer to being able to play. “He’s ready. He wants to go and I think it’s going to happen sooner than later.”

SECONDARY MARKET: Seattle’s vaunted defensive backfield was struggling by the end of last season. Sherman, Chancellor, Thomas, Jeremy Lane and Tharold Simon were all injured, while Byron Maxwell and Jeron Johnson left town in free agency. Sherman, Chancellor and Simon will be fine for training camp. Seattle added reinforcements by signing veterans Cary Williams and Will Blackmon.

NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The clock is ticking on Canada’s World Cup rugby team. Kieran Crowley’s squad has won two of its last 11 test matches dating back to November 2013. The Canadian men, currently ranked 18th in the world, have only beaten No. 21 Namibia and No. 29 Portugal during that stretch.

They lost to No. 9 Samoa, No. 11 Scotland, No. 12 Tonga, No. 13 Japan (twice), No. 14 Georgia, No. 16 U.S., and No. 17 Romania (twice). The record worsens if you add non-test losses to the New Zealand Maori and an English second-division all-star team. With Canada’s World Cup opener against No. 3 Ireland just 50-odd days away, there is lots to do.

Canadian captain Tyler Ardron and Gareth Rees, manager of the national men’s program, both point to Canada’s recent lack of games as a problem. Wednesday’s Pacific Nations Cup game again Samoa in Toronto represents just Canada’s third test match since losing to Romania last November at the end of a European tour.
