MLA will represent country on track
Ontario-raised Hans Bongarts is helping fill a summer niche in Nanaimo as a captain of a local catamaran touring business
ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell has been selected to represent Canada at the 2015 Parapan Am Games in Toronto, an experience she says will be the highlight of her athletics career. The Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation will compete in the 100-metre on Aug. 10 and the 400 on Aug. 11 and is one of 37 athletes from B.C. who have been selected by Athletics Canada and the Canadian Paralympic Committee for the national team. Stilwell currently holds the world record for the T52 100 and 200 races. She won gold in the 200 at the London 2012 Paralympic Games as well as silver in the 100m and also won double gold for those events at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. She won the same double gold at the 2013 IPC World Championships in Lyon. Stilwell was also part of the Canadian women’s wheelchair basketball team that won the gold medal at the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney. But this year’s Parapan Ams will mark the first time she has competed at a major international competition on home soil. Stilwell says it’s always an honour to wear the Maple Leaf and represent her country and is excited to compete in front of her fellow Canadians. “Right now I’m training sixdays-a-week,” she said. “I get up really early in the morning to do my training. “I train with my rollers in my garage and at my office in Victoria.” Athletes in the T52 class have limitations in both their lower and upper limbs. Stilwell also acknowledged all the coaches, trainers, physiotherapists and officials who will join her in Toronto, and said that “the contributions and hours these people dedicate cannot be measured.” The MLA will take a seven-day work vacation from politics to attend the Games.

Catamaran captain has always been drawn to the ocean
JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
T
hough he’s worked as a teacher, an acupuncturist and a laser therapist, something about the ocean keeps drawing Hans Bongarts back to the sea. The son of a tobacco farmer, Bongarts immigrated to Canada from West Germany when he was five. Though most of his childhood was spent far away from the sea on the family farm in Ontario, by the time he was in his 20s he managed to learn how to sail on Lake Huron. Now a captain with a local catamaran touring business, the unlikely ocean-farer plans to spent the latter part of his life on the water as much as possible — and he’s taking others along for the ride. “It’s magic, it’s just magic,” he

Nanaimo RCMP were called to the scene, along with Cedar Fire Department, where one man had to be removed from underneath the car after it had rolled over. Numerous ambulances were required to transport the occupants to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, while two had to be sent by air ambulance to Victoria General Hospital. The six occupants are in serious but stable condition.
Meanwhile, a car was found in the fountain on Terminal Ave. early Saturday morning. The driver was taken to hospital. Watch Commander Sgt. Glen Caston said “it’s not the first time that has happened here.” Nanaimo RCMP is also looking for the owner of a baseball signed by the Detroit Tigers from the 1980s and 1990s. The baseball was recovered after an arrest was made. “We’re still trying to determine how it came into (that person’s) possession,” said Caston. “We’re hoping the owner comes forward as it might lead us back to a
break and enter. It probably has some sentimental value at least.” Nanaimo Fire Rescue is also investigating a structure fire at 1348 Jesters Way on Saturday afternoon. Fire crews arrived on the scene at 3:43 p.m. where nobody was home. “There were flames on the outside of the house which extended up to the attic,” said assistant chief Greg Norman. “There was fire damage to decks on two homes adjacent to the property.” Ross.Armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

WHY NANAIMO? A look at why people choose to make the Harbour City home
Business owner loves what Nanaimo offers Aaron Hinks Reporting Richard Hatter started Hired Guns Creative on his living room coffee table in 2008. He enlisted the help of Leif Miltenberger, the two have been able to grow the business into an alcohol brand and labelling design powerhouse servicing international breweries and distilleries.
Why did you want to start a business, and why keep the business in Nanaimo? I was just never happy being in the positions that I was in and I always wanted more from graphic design — I was never going to get that making business cards. I just wanted to get past the smalltown design scene and really get into the international market. First off, the ability to raise a family here is way easier than any of those other markets. Nanaimo is an up-and-coming city. It doesn’t have the stigmas of Vancouver or Victoria. It’s just kind of nice that we can stand out here and not have to be in one of those big cities. I love Nanaimo, I’ve lived here for most of my life and I don’t really have the urge to leave.
What challenges have you faced? We started with nothing. There was no money backing us. It has been a grind the entire way. It’s been built off sweat equity and just hours put in. The hardest thing has been putting in the 60 to 70-hour weeks year after year not taking vacations, the time away from my family sacrificed. The mental strain it takes

to really judge yourself and push yourself beyond what you’re capable of at that moment. If you’re not pushing yourself then you’re not growing. What advice do you have for artists just entering the business? Definitely go learn from professionals for as long as you can. Work for people that you look up to and respect. Those are the people that you’re going to help build their businesses for.
They’re the ones that are going to look after you.
I don’t need to work for them, which is really good.
What are the future plans of Hired Guns Creative? I want controlled growth and I want clients the size of Big Rock or larger. I want a big Vodka brand. That’s the next thing for us is to keep going up and getting cooler projects. We get the ability now to pick and choose our projects and clients. If it’s not a good fit
If you could make one change to Nanaimo, what would it be? Nanaimo has got a real conservative edge that we need to shake to move forward. The people are great, but city staff, the local government here needs to stop fighting and just make this a cooler place to live so we get young entrepreneurs here. Make it easier to open busi-
nesses that work here and not just real estate and commercial offices. Let’s get some innovators, some creators. It’s happening in Victoria, Washington, Portland, Vancouver. We’re the hub where everything is, let’s loosen up our collars a bit and bring some creative people in. Aaron.Hinks @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4242

Water consumption decreasing during drought season ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Daily water consumption in Nanaimo has decreased 15 per cent since conservation measures were implemented on June 15. Bill Sims, Nanaimo’s water resources manager, said residential water use in that time has declined from 59.5 million litres per day to 50 million litres. He said the city’s water supply at Jump Lake is currently 78 per cent full and, given the storage level and the corresponding
level of consumption, the city is confident there is sufficient water storage to last into November. Sims said that while there was almost no snow in Nanaimo last winter and very little rainfall in the city since May, there was plenty of precipitation in the spring in the higher elevations where the city’s water supply comes from — up to five times as much as Nanaimo receives. But Sims said a significant part of Nanaimo’s success in dealing with the ongoing
drought is attributed to the city’s residents who have been diligent in following the water restrictions, which are currently at Level 2. Under Level 2 conservation, even-numbered addresses can water on Wednesdays and Saturdays while odd-numbered addresses can water on Thursdays and Sundays. “Nanaimo residents have been practising water conservation for decades, to the point that overall annual consumption is declining year after year,” Sims
said. “We are very impressed with residents’ positive response in conserving water.” Sims said people are becoming so used to water conservation that it may even push back the need for more dams to be built to hold more water for the growing city. He said the need for more water capacity in the future was identified a decade ago and while the original estimate was for a new dam to be needed by 2020, that changed to 2024 three years ago.
But he said if climate change means that Nanaimo and region will see continued droughts in the summer in coming years like this year, that will likely have to be reviewed. “We will reassess the impacts of climate change on our water supply, and how much of it is being consumed, to come up with new models in another year or so,” Sims said.

Election will show if voters want changes
O
n Oct. 19, Canadians will have the final word following what will be the longest federal election campaign in more than a century. A 78-day race seems cumbersome, but it does give voters plenty of time to educate themselves and make an informed decision. The federal Conservative government seeks a fourth straight mandate from the people and this campaign promises to be fierce and competitive at all levels. Do the voters want change, or more of the same? We’ve said it before: while party politics are part of the political landscape in this country, there is also a persuasive argument that they are also the breeding
It’s easier than ever for people to read political platforms at their own convenience. ground for much of the cynicism about politicians and pessimism about politics in general. Party politics cannot come at the expense of local issues. An obligation remains for candidates to know and understand the concerns of their riding. There may be many issues in common with other ridings across the country, health care being the primary example, but that also differs in each riding. A candidate that has to constantly refer to the achievements
of their party, or party leader, when addressing questions about local issues tells us nothing. Local voters want to know not only what a party will do if elected as government, but how their own MP will represent their local interests. To that end, the Daily News will provide plenty of information on local candidates leading up to the election. We’ll ask you what you believe to be the most important issues, and put those questions to those aiming to serve as your MPs. You can make informed choices. Federally, approximately 60 per cent of voters have most recently turned out to cast ballots. That’s generally a marked improvement from municipal elections, but it’s still remark-
ably and woefully low. In some countries, Australia for example, if you don’t vote, you’re fined. Down Under voter turnout in federal elections has remained at 94 per cent or higher for close to a century. It’s not difficult to vote in this country. Election officers send out voter information cards telling people where and when to vote. It’s easier than ever for people to read political platforms at their own convenience. Take advantage of this. Your participation is crucial. We’ve seen the debate many times here about the myriad of arguments to justify why not to vote: voting has no impact, the whole system is corrupt, my vote doesn’t count, politicians don’t listen to the people anyhow,
sorting out the candidates is too confusing and so on. But when measured against the whole point of voting, to have a democracy, not a single one of those arguments is valid. Citizens in most democracies have only democratic obligations, to vote and to sit on a jury. That’s it. Some political strategists actually rely on low voter turnout as a way to elect a candidate who may not otherwise be able to win. Let’s ensure that’s not possible. You simply hand power away when you do not cast a vote. Get out there and decide what you want for this nation’s future. » We want to hear from you.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Watering restrictions need to be clarified There is a great deal of confusion about the water restrictions and the RDN. A lot of people think that the Regional District of Nanaimo includes the City of Nanaimo. As a result, there is a great deal of confusion about the water restriction levels. A lot of people are getting upset and I am sure calling the city to report misuse of water by their neighbours because they think the Level 4 applies to the City of Nanaimo. Could you publish something to clarify the distinctions between the two areas? If you do, I plan to carry a copy of the article with me to show to those who accuse others of misuse of water when they are following the guidelines for Level 2. Helen Nurss Nanaimo
No credible alternatives offered for current PM Re: ‘Expect long campaign if election called Sunday’ (Your Letters, Daily News, Aug. 1) It’s interesting that few if any of those who gormandize the anti-Stephen Harper rhetoric will propound an alternative to the Conservatives. Do they feel embarrassed by
their choice, or just hate to say anything good about anyone? Would they espouse Dipper leader Thomas Mulcair who proposes a million $15-a-day daycare spaces among other debt-building schemes designed to keep his Quebec base while deluding everyone else? Or the Grits’ Justin Trudeau whose economic sense resembles that of a kid in a candy store? I doubt that he’ll ever be ready. I suppose Elizabeth May deserves a mention for her unique way of getting noticed by using foul language at a big Ottawa dinner last May. Given a precarious global economy, I’d rather leave my vote with Harper and his masters degree in economics than switch to a powerhungry Quebec lawyer or a onetime elementary teacher. Jim Corder Nanaimo
Cyclists need to be more accommodating Now that bicyclists are a large part of our city transportation system, and the city is accommodating them at every turn with upgraded bicycle lanes, perhaps it is time the cyclists themselves have to do a little accommodating. We have all witnessed a cyclist blowing through an intersection or crosswalk, even while vehicles are stopped, and then hopping off
the street onto the sidewalk and continuing riding as if they were pedestrians. In the downtown area you cannot count on being safe in a crosswalk as the cyclists do not seem to be obligated to follow the same rules as cars. As more citizens use bicycles this disregard to rules of the road will some day lead to a fatality, and it may even be the cyclists who is the victim. Because they are not licensed, there is no way to identify them to report them to the authorities. They ride rule-free on public roads. Granted there are a large segment of the cyclist world who do wear their helmets and follow the rules, but more and more do not. Bicycles should have to be licensed, like a vehicle does, and the owner should have to follow the same rules of the road as the vehicle owners do. And, as a final note, more attention should be paid to enforcing the rules of the road that we all are supposed to follow. Bruce Gordon Nanaimo
Government money was yours in the first place Stephen Harper (true to form) has taken it upon himself once again to campaign with our money and change the rules to
suit himself. To give all these families a large gift of money just before an election, including families that don’t need it, is tantamount to an underhanded self-serving obvious bribe for votes. Before the people cash these cheques, they should ask themselves the question, where did this money come from? The fact is that it was your money to start with. Resorting to clawbacks, cutbacks and lack of funding to needy causes, he has accumulated a fortune which politicians like to refer to by using the euphemism “surplus.” It’s your money he’s giving back to you in exchange for your vote. This looks like a blatant attempt to stay in power and an insult to all Canadians with the exception of his followers who seem to condone this kind of politics. I think he has corrupted the whole electoral system by allowing an election campaign to last almost three months just because he has the money to outlast every other party. I have seen many Conservatives blame other politicians for being self-serving; do they not see that their prime minister now holds the record for that? The man with the most money is not necessarily the best man for the job; it depends how he got that money, and what purpose he puts it to. John A Martin Nanaimo

Teen dies of suspected fentanyl overdose A 17-year-old boy has died of a suspected fentanyl overdose in Vancouver. A Vancouver police release says that two boys, aged 16 and 17, lost consciousness in Shelley Park Saturday night after taking what is believed to be fake Oxycontin. Both teens were rushed to hospital and the 16 year-old has been released, but the 17 year-old was taken off life support and has died. The drugs the boys are believed to have consumed are known as “fake 80s,� which are green pills with the number 80 on them. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more toxic than morphine and has been linked to many recent overdose deaths in B.C., including the deaths of a North Vancouver couple in July.
Activism prompted justice, Canning says BeneďŹ ciary says Anonymous’ vigilantism ďŹ lled hole in system GEORDON OMAND THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — While experts and officials decry recent instances of vigilantism by the hacktivist group Anonymous, one beneficiary of the group’s activism is adamant that justice would never have been served without involvement by the clandestine organization. Glen Canning said he believes Anonymous’ threats to publicly identify boys allegedly involved in the cyberbullying that predated his daughter Rehtaeh Parsons’ death prompted Halifax police to reopen their investigation and eventually lay charges. None of this would have happened if Anonymous hadn’t stepped in, said Canning. “I believe that absolutely. I have no question about that at all.� Her family alleges Parsons was sexually assaulted in November 2011 and bullied for months when a digital photo of the assault was passed around her school. She died after attempting suicide in 2013. An angry post from Parsons’ mother brought the case to the attention of Anonymous, said Canning. “Why go through the courts? Why go through the system?� he said in a telephone interview from Nova Scotia. “Why be revictimized again when you can write something and get ahold of some people online who can really do a hell of a lot more to bring you a sense of justice than the police and the courts can?� Anonymous is a shadowy, loosely knit collective known for its online activism targeting governments, corporations and

British Parliament in 1605. “Stuff like this happens because the system is broken,� said Canning. “If we can fix the system ... then maybe we wouldn’t need Anonymous.� Dalhousie University law professor and cyberbullying expert Wayne MacKay said Anonymous has played a role in advancing the cause of justice, such as spurring governments to take action. Though no government would concede publicly it had acted in response to pressure from Anonymous, he added. Still, MacKay raised a red flag about the group’s unorthodox style of activism. “Even if they’re filling a hole in our justice system does that justify breaking the law?� he said. “Often the answer to that would be no. We do have a structured justice system for a reason and we shouldn’t necessarily allow a sort of vigilante response even if we think the main justice system is moving too slowly.� Central to the dilemma is a concept found right in the collective’s name: anonymity. MacKay described the members as unelected and unaccountable purveyors of justice. “Because they’re anonymous and hide behind masks they’re not responsible or accountable for what they do,� he said. Former B.C. Court of Appeal justice and provincial attorney general Wally Oppal was unapologetic in his condemnation of the group’s methods. “There’s no excuse for vigilantism,� he said in an interview. “It’s a recipe for anarchy.�

Governor General calls federal election for Oct. 19
24 DAILY FLIGHTS from Nanaimo to the Mainland
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s announcement sets stage for 11-week campaign THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he has asked Governor General David Johnston to dissolve Parliament, touching off an 11-week campaign in advance of an election Oct. 19. Harper made the announcement Sunday outside Rideau Hall, square in the middle of the August holiday weekend, ending months of speculation and conjecture about when the campaign would begin. He was quickly peppered with media questions about why he was subjecting Canadians to a campaign that promises to be the longest in more than a century and the costliest in the country’s political history. Simple, Harper replied: Conservative rivals are already campaigning, and they’re doing it on the public dime. “If we’re going to begin our campaigns and run our campaigns, that those campaigns need to be conducted under the rules of the law, that the money come from the parties themselves, not from the government resources, parliamentary resources or taxpayer resources,� he said. “In terms of the advantages this party has, in terms of the fact that we are a better financed
HARPER
political party, a better organized political party and better supported by Canadians, those advantages exist whether we call this campaign or not. “What we do by calling this campaign is making sure we are all operating within the rules and not using taxpayers’ money directly.� NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was scheduled to launch his party’s campaign moments after Harper’s event; Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is scheduled to make a statement later in Vancouver, where he is attending that city’s Pride parade. Harper stands to become the first prime minister since Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1908 to win four consecutive elections. The very rarity of that feat goes a long way towards explaining his real reasons for choosing to
formally call Canada’s 42nd election in the middle of a holiday weekend in the dead of summer, triggering a gruelling, 11-week marathon rather than the fiveweek sprint that’s typified federal campaigns in recent times. The unusually long campaign activates an obscure provision in the Harper government’s overhaul of election laws last year, allowing parties and their candidates to spend more than double the spending limits of $25 million and $100,000, respectively, that would have applied for a minimum 37-day campaign. Having amassed vastly more money than any other party, the increased spending limits give the Conservative party and its candidates a huge advantage over their more impoverished rivals. It’s been clear for weeks how the ruling party intends to use its financial advantage: to carpet bomb the air waves with attack ads. Conservative ads trashing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau as “just not ready� to be prime minister have been ever-present on radio and television for more than two months already. Liberal insiders admit they’ve been effective, contributing to the Liberals’ slow decline in the polls to third place from their front-running status over the
previous two years. Late Friday, the Conservatives suddenly turned their sights on NDP Leader Tom Mulcair with similar attack ads depicting him as an unethical, opportunistic “career politician.� Having helped drive Liberal support to the NDP, they’ve now evidently decided they need to blunt Mulcair’s momentum at the outset of the campaign. The shifting targets of the Tory ads reflect the tricky two-front war facing the governing party. At a time when the economy has tanked and polls suggest two-thirds of the electorate are looking for a change, the Conservatives risk driving change seekers to coalesce behind the NDP if they attack the Liberals too hard, and vice versa. They’ll attempt to strike a balance, attacking both and warning that the economy is too fragile to risk putting it in the spendthrift hands of either Mulcair or Trudeau. But Mulcair and Trudeau also face two-front wars — with each other as much as with Harper. Each will be attempting to prove that his party is the vehicle that can defeat the Conservatives and provide real change. And in doing so, they’ll be fighting not just to win the election but, potentially, for the very survival of their respective parties.

Obama unveils plan to cut gas emissions JOSH LEDERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

College students aiming to make puck for blind players MICHELLE MCQUIGGE THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A pair of Ontario college students is facing a tough crowd as they try to design an audible hockey puck that can be used by visually impaired players. And the international judges who vetted the product at a global engineering contest on Sunday aren’t even the harshest critics. Those would be the players themselves, who say people have been designing pucks containing electronic noisemakers for decades and haven’t yet managed to create one that works well on the ice. They say it’s proven difficult to find a puck that can be heard equally well while stationary or in motion, adding that ice temperatures and arena acoustics add further challenges. The Sheridan College classmates, however, say those very issues prompted them to redesign their puck three times
in the last five months. The pair took first place in the re-engineered products category at the IAM3D challenge in Boston. The audible hockey puck was among 20 finalists for this year’s competition and was up against three other entries from fellow Sheridan students. The team behind the project may seem an unlikely choice to spearhead the latest effort to develop a puck. Ryan Vieira said he and his fellow student Kristoffer Pascual, who are both fully sighted, had little interest or familiarity with hockey when they took on the project. Nor were they influenced by the myriad previous designs that had fallen in and out of favour for at least the past 40 years. “I was always into it for the challenge,” the 23-year-old said in a telephone interview. “I had no design to work off. I was just given a basic shape and what it had to do.” But requirements for the puck proved more complex than the
team had anticipated, something previous other designers had learned the hard way. Matt Morrow, executive director with Courage Canada — the blind hockey promotional organization — said sound is merely one factor. The finished product needs to be both bigger and slower than a standard-issue puck, Morrow said, so that players with a variety of different vision levels can play. Materials also need to be pliable in order to minimize injuries, while still being durable enough to withstand blistering passes and hard impact with boards and goal posts. And the sound the puck emits has to work whether it’s travelling down the ice, soaring through the air or at rest on the blue line. “No electronic puck has ever worked,” Morrow said. The original blind hockey puck, debuted in Montreal, was nothing more than a 1.4-litre apple juice can that was painted black for the benefit of those with some functional vision.

WASHINGTON — Calling it a moral obligation, President Barack Obama unveiled the final version of his plan to dramatically cut emissions from U.S. power plants, as he warned anew that climate change will threaten future generations if left unchecked. Touting the plan at a White House event on Monday, Obama said the unprecedented carbon dioxide limits are the “the single most important step” America has ever taken to fight climate change. He warned that because the problem is so large, if the world doesn’t get it right quickly, it may become impossible to reverse, leaving populations unable to adapt. “There is such a thing as being too late when it comes to climate change,” Obama said. Opponents immediately announced they would sue the government to stop the rules
from taking effect. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, speaking at a summit of Republican state attorneys general, said West Virginia would be among a group of states “launching an aggressive legal campaign.” “Their legal foundation is very, very shaky,” Morrisey said of the Obama administration. “We are confident that we will prevail.” Power plants account for roughly one-third of all U.S. emissions of the heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming, making them the largest single source. Already Obama has curbed greenhouse gas emissions from other major sources, including cars and trucks. The final version of Obama’s plan imposes stricter carbon dioxide limits on states than was previously expected: a 32 per cent cut by 2030, compared with 2005 levels, the White House said. Obama’s proposed version last year called only for a 30 per cent cut.

Tornado touches down in Ontario village THE CANADIAN PRESS
TEVIOTDALE, Ont. — Weather experts say a tornado ripped through a southwestern Ontario community Sunday night, tearing the roof from a bungalow and damaging several police cars. Environment Canada issued a statement that said the violent winds of up to 220 kilometres per hour occurred in Teviotdale, northwest of Kitchener. It said the tornado left about nine kilometres of damage in its wake, including destroying the exteriors of two homes, ripping through barns, wrecking cars
and downing both trees and power lines. The tornado touched down at about 9 p.m. amid an extreme bout of rain, wind and hail in southwest and southern Ontario that knocked out power to thousands. Marina Koumarelas with the Teviotdale Truck Stop says she was at work when the tornado happened. She said main roads were closed about half an hour after the winds touched down, and some had still not reopened by Monday afternoon. “It was very scary,” she said, adding that she did not see the actual funnel clouds, but did see the collateral damage to trees.

HEALTH
Some cerebral palsy caused by anomalies Disease has historically been blamed on brain injury but new information shows genetics play a role SHERYL UBELACKER THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Cerebral palsy, the most common cause of physical disability in children, has long been thought to result from brain injury in the fetus. But new Canadian research is challenging that notion, finding that at least one in 10 cases likely has an underlying genetic cause. “Our findings were shocking, actually,� said principal investigator Stephen Scherer, director of the Centre for Applied Genomics at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. So ingrained has medical dogma been around the root causes of cerebral palsy that “when I showed the results to our clinical geneticists, initially they didn’t believe it,� he said. About two in every 1,000 babies born are affected by cerebral palsy. An estimated 50,000 Canadian children and adults have the condition, which leads to varying degrees of motor impairment, including muscle spasticity and involuntary movements. Symptoms can include epilepsy as well as learning, speech, hearing and visual impairments. Some with the disorder are mildly affected, while others can’t walk or communicate. Traditionally, cerebral palsy was believed to be caused by a stroke or infection of the brain in the developing fetus, or by birth asphyxia — a lack of oxygen to the infant during delivery. But genetic testing of a group of affected children from across Canada found that in 10 per cent of cases, structural changes to the DNA appear to have given rise to the condition. The research team, which includes physicians at the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, performed genome sequencing tests on 115 children with cerebral palsy and their parents. Ten per cent of the children were found to have DNA alterations known as copy number variations, or CNVs, that affect clinically relevant genes. CNVs

can be present as deletions, additions or reorganized segments of DNA that can lead to disease. “In five per cent, we found these spontaneous, massive changes,� affecting dozens or even hundreds of genes in some children, said Scherer. “For five per cent, these big changes are the cause of their CP. “The other five per cent were smaller changes, but affect lots of genes and in some cases were inherited from the parents. And we think they’re involved in the medical complexities these kids have.� The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Communications, also shows there are many different genes involved in cerebral palsy, just as there are in autism spectrum disorder
and other neurodevelopmental conditions. “I think what’s really interesting here is that what was thought to be an almost entirely environmental disorder (caused by fetal injury or infection) has a significant genetic component,� said Scherer. “I can’t imagine having a child who’s got any disorder and not having some type of an explanation (as to why),� he said. “So I think it’s pretty exciting that we can actually provide for these spontaneous cases that the parents didn’t do anything wrong. They didn’t make a wrong decision in their pregnancy or eat the wrong food or expose the fetus to the wrong thing. It was just a random genetic change.�
YOU AND THE LAW
Dr. Maryam Oskoui, a pediatric neurologist at Montreal Children’s Hospital and a study co-author, agreed parents want to know what caused their child’s cerebral palsy, but often they don’t have a clear explanation. “For most kids we can find some risk factors — you were born early or you were exposed to this or that — but they’re always left kind of wondering: ’If I had done something differently . . .’ Knowing is a big part of the process of dealing with such a diagnosis.� Genetic testing of children with CP is not recommended by the American Academy of Neurology, which provides guidelines for doctors, nor is such sequencing commonly conducted,
Oskoui noted. But given their findings, the researchers are calling for genetic testing to be a routine part of the CP diagnostic process. Such DNA sequencing would also tell parents if they carry genetic anomalies that could be passed on to future children, Scherer noted. Emily Diamond’s son Bennett, 4, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at six months after she noticed he wasn’t developing in the same way as her first two children. “I was trying to teach him to sit and I couldn’t straighten his legs,� Diamond said from her Montreal home. “He didn’t bring toys or the facecloth in the bath to his mouth, as most kids do. He didn’t play with his feet and he didn’t babble the same way babies do at that age.� While his diagnosis was a shock, Diamond said she and her husband feel lucky that Bennett isn’t worse off. Though he doesn’t walk or speak, he has no epilepsy, doesn’t need a feeding tube as some CP kids do, and appears to be unharmed intellectually. Bennett wasn’t part of the study, so he hasn’t had his genome sequenced, said his mom, who was told by doctors that his cerebral palsy was likely linked to a ruptured abdominal aneurysm she suffered during her second trimester that required emergency surgery. “So I don’t know if he has any of these genetic markers or not,� she said. “At the same time, there’s something specific (the aneurysm) they can point to. “Unfortunately, there are parents out there who have no idea — there was no prenatal event, no trauma during birth, yet their children have CP. So they’re left in the dark as to what happened. “I think this research that’s coming out is going to give them a little bit of closure, a little bit of an answer, saying that this isn’t something we did, this isn’t something we could have prevented.�

Raiders squeak out two-point win Injured All-Canadian quarterback was unable to play in 23-21 ‘trap game’ win over the Westshore Rebels SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
W
ith a two-point lead late in a surprisingly tight game, Vancouver Island Raiders linebacker Nigel Henry blocked a Westshore Rebels field goal, allowing his team to win 23-21 Saturday night at Langford’s Westhills Stadium. With All-Canadian quarterback Liam O’Brien out with an upper body injury suffered in practice, it was a sobering victory for a team that built momentum in Week 1 of the B.C. Football Conference season with a win over the defending champion Langley Rams. The Rebels (0-2) were beat 78-7 by the Okanagan Sun in Week 1, and have lost to the Raiders (2-0) in every game the two teams have ever played. For V.I. head coach Jerome Erdman, however, a two-point win over a Rebels team that most expected the Raiders to have few problems with, was exactly what he expected. “It was a definite trap game,” Erdman said. “When you have a rivalry game like that, past records don’t matter. It was the type of game I expected, with us going in without our starting quarterback. (Westshore) was embarrassed the first week and they had something to prove.” Former John Barsby Bulldogs quarterback took the bulk of the reps in place of O’Brien, going six of 16 through the air for 93 yards, while receiver Dustin Rodriguez also filled in with two completions off six pass attempts for 18 yards. Neither threw a touchdown or an interception. After a solid Week 1 performance against Langley with 90 rushing yards on 11 carries, Raiders runningback Nate Berg had his first game as a feature back and ran with it, literally. Berg, another former star at Barsby, was handed the ball 34 times and he took those carries for 198 yards on the ground with two touchdowns.

“When we needed to get a big play, we came up with it.“ Jerome Erdman, head coach
“Nate just ran like a beast,” Erdman said. “He’s been a very good player for us the first couple weeks. He’s a tough, solid runner and our offensive line did a pretty good job opening some holes for him.” Taylor Flavel was the Raiders’ top receiver in the win with four catches for 45 yards, while Rodriguez also had a catch for 33 yards as well as three rushes for another 33. Fullback Justin Cook had two
catches out of the backfield for 24 yards and two rushes for 20. But despite having to make due without O’Brien, the performance of the Raiders simply wasn’t good enough, especially with the top-ranked Sun next up on the schedule. “Parts were OK,” Erdman said. “I thought we left quite a few points on the field.” Regardless of what happened throughout the game that led to the Raiders coming away with just a two-point win, it was the play that won them the game they will look to build off of — Henry’s blocked field goal. “That’s the positives that we can come away with,” Erdman said. “When we needed to get a big play, we came up with it.
“Nigel Henry came through, got a hand on it, and it was huge. And our offence, we were backed up late in the game and they came out and got us some field position, which was pretty good.” Alex Eberling led the Raiders on defence in tackles with five, while Josh Paisley had three. Defensive end Quinton Bowles left the game with 1.5 sacks, one solo and another assisted by Tyler Harvey. James Smith also tracked down Rebels quarterback Ashton Mackinnon in the backfield for a sack, and rookie safety Cole Virtanen dealt a crushing blow on him. Defensive back Max Baldam also had a 40-yard interception. The Raiders have yet to turn over the ball on a fumble or an
interception through two games this season. O’Brien was unable to practise all week, so Taylor and Rodriguez did get reps in practice throughout the week. Erdman said the coaching staff hopes he will be on the field on Saturday when the Raiders host Okanagan at Caledonia Park at 4 p.m. The Sun beat the Valley Huskers 64-0 in Chilliwack Saturday, and beat the Raiders four times last season, including in the conference semi-final. The Raiders and Sun are the only two unbeaten teams in the league. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Nanaimo Pirates fall in league championship game ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo Pirates ended the season with a loss in the B.C. Premier Baseball League championship game on Sunday, going down 18-7 to the North Shore Twins at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria. The Pirates set up a semifinal game with the Victoria Eagles earlier that day — after a 7-3 win over the Eagles, a 2-1 victory against Okanagan Athletics and a 22-4 loss to the Twins in the round robin format initially. They would then secure their second win of the Final Four weekend against the Eagles, 5-2, to advance to the final and against the Twins — who were crowned BCPBL league champions prior to the playoffs. The Pirates matched their opponents all the way in the first two innings, but the third would prove to be the nail in their cof-

fin. They opened the scoring at the top of the first only to then see the Twins tie the game. They then edged ahead again before two runs on the board from the Twins made it 3-2 heading into the pivotal third. While the Pirates failed to score, the Twins posted 13 of their own to essentially put the
game to bed there and then. “It’s unfortunate, and it was difficult trying to stop that,” said Pirates head coach Doug Rogers. “It was just a matter of running out of pitching mixed in with a few errors, but it doesn’t reflect our season.” Garrett Goodall had two hits and two RBI in the final, alongside Josh Burgmann who had one hit and two RBI. Cole Warken also had one hit and two RBI while Zach Diewert also had two RBIs. Aaron Page and Sam Baker both pitched in the final, with Page coming up with two strikeouts while giving up nine hits. Baker had one strikeout and gave up four hits. Although a disappointing end to the season, the game brought the curtain down on what was another successful campaign for the Pirates who finished third overall in the league standings
behind the Twins and the Eagles. The Pirates also finished the regular season with a two-game winning streak and won seven of their last 10 games. They won 29 of their 44 games in all. Rogers said he was proud of his players and praised them for their performance both on and off the field this year. “If someone had offered us a chance to play in the championship game at the start of the year, we would’ve taken that in a heartbeat,” he said. “Our goal all along was to win the championship and we just came up short out by one game.” In his eight years of coaching the Pirates, Rogers says this team is up there with one of the best groups he’s had. “In the past five years, we’ve been in the Final Four in four of those five years and I said about three quarters of the way through this season, that this
was possibly the best team I’ve ever coached. But this is a different team,” he said. “We were the best hitting team in the league this year, but didn’t match North Shore in pitching and defence,” a trait he says has been a strong signature of Pirates teams from the past, “if we’d have had one more pitcher, we might have beaten them. But this team is right up there and certainly in the top two or three teams I’ve coached. All of our graduating players will attend college this fall, too, and that’s always a goal we have as coaching staff.” The Victoria HarbourCats also casted an eye over the proceedings and placed outfielder Diewert on their watch list ahead of the fall/spring season.

T-Men fall in season finale with loss to Adanacs
Price deadly in Blue Jays debut
DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo Timbermen were put out of their misery Saturday, finishing their season with 10-7 road loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs. The Timbermen finished the season in last place in the seven-team Western Lacrosse Association for the third time in three years and will own the No. 1 selection in the 2016 draft. Eli McLaughlin led Nanaimo in scoring in the season finale with a goal and two assists while Ryan Sage, Mitch Parker, Randy Jones, Mac Johnston and Kyle Hofer each had two points. After beginning the season with two straight wins over the Victoria Shamrocks, who finished in first place at 14-4, but ended with just one win the rest of the season when they beat the Maple Ridge Burrards, a playoff team, in Nanaimo. With a 3-15 record, the Timbermen were one point shy of their total of six from 2014 when they went 3-14-1. For the second straight year, Nanaimo Minor Lacrosse Association graduate Johnston led the Timbermen in scoring with 16 goals and 27 assists for 43 points in 16 games. Bremner, a former WLA rookie of the year, missed five games with injury issues and finished second in team scoring with 41 points. The Timbermen drafted McLaughlin second overall in the offseason after trading away with first overall pick to Coquitlam, and McLaughlin ended the season with 15 goals and 19 assists, fourth in team scoring while playing just 12 games. Their second draft pick, Nanaimo goalie Pete Dubenski, played in nine games with a 11.42 goals against average and a .763 save percentage. None of the Timbermen reached the top 20 in league scoring. In the 2016 WLA draft, where the Timbermen will have the top pick, Coquitlam Junior A Adanacs stars Cole Shafer and Challen Rogers will be the hottest commodities. Graduated Junior A Timbermen Brett Hawrys and Dane Sorensen will also warrant close looks to be drafted. Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
Newly acquired ace throws 11 strikeouts, leads Toronto to 5-1 win over the Twins STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — David Price Day had everything from rousing ovations and powering strikeouts to the thrill of danger and the offensive explosion the Toronto Blue Jays are known for. Thanks to 11 strikeouts from Price in eight strong innings, his debut was also a 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins that put the Blue Jays in a tie for an American League wild-card spot. “I just wanted to go out there and have fun, pitch as deep as possible into the game and keep it close for our offence,” a smiling Price said. “I’m definitely thrilled with the way today went.” Price was dominant all afternoon, especially after he gave up a home run to Torii Hunter in the second and loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth. The ace left-hander acquired last week from the Detroit Tigers showed why the Blue Jays were willing to pay a hefty price, retiring the final 15 batters he faced. “The place was alive,” manager John Gibbons said of Price getting out of the bases-loaded jam. “That’s hard to do. I don’t care how good a pitcher you are. That’s real hard to do. But he pulled it off and really ran from there.” As he walked off the mound following his 119th pitch, Price tipped his cap to the sellout crowd of 45,766 at Rogers Centre that fixated on and adored his

every move. His 11 strikeouts tied a franchise record for a pitcher making his debut, and he allowed just three hits and two walks. “That’s what an ace does,” said second baseman Ryan Goins, who hit a solo home run. Price brushed off the strikeout record and said he would’ve rather gotten all 27 outs. But the way he dazzled the crowd contributed to the buzz on the holiday Monday in Toronto. Running off the experiences in his career from the 2008 World
Series run with the Tampa Bay Rays through last year’s playoffs with the Tigers, Price put his Blue Jays debut at the top of the list. “That was the best atmosphere I’ve ever been in,” Price said. “I’ve pitched in quite a few big games, but that atmosphere today, that takes the cake. I’ve never experienced anything like that. That was cool.” When Price was in the dugout, the lineup Josh Donaldson confidently declared the best in baseball got to Minnesota starter
Ervin Santana and the bullpen to the tune of eight hits and two home runs. In addition to Goins, Donaldson hit a two-run home run, his 27th of the season, and later heard chants of “M-V-P.” “It’s not like we’ve seen it a couple times,” Gibbons said of Donaldson’s power. “He’s been doing it all year.” Edwin Encarnacion and Justin Smoak each added an RBI single to help the Blue Jays move to within 5 1/2 games of the idle New York Yankees for first in the AL East. Toronto has won five of six games. “This is a good time for us, and this is when you need to be playing your best baseball, anyhow, no matter who you’re playing,” Donaldson said. “I’m not saying that the games before weren’t important, but this is when you can make up some ground and see where lie in the standings.” Fans lined up by the hundreds, if not thousands, outside Rogers Centre more than an hour before gates were scheduled to open for Price’s debut and Russell Martin bobblehead day. Those in the building when Price walked out to the bullpen to warm up gave him a standing ovation, and it was even louder when he returned to the dugout. Price had the crowd rocking from his first 92 mph pitch to Brian Dozier and subsequent strikeout through the groundout he induced to wrap up the eighth inning.

Merritt wins first PGA tournament at National HANK KURZ JR. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAINESVILLE, Va. — Troy Merritt walked to the final tee with a three-shot lead and slapped hands with fans on both sides of the ropes, knowing he had all but wrapped up his first PGA Tour title and wanting to show his
appreciation for the fans cheering him on. Not a bad turnaround for a player who had missed five cuts in a row coming into the Quicken Loans National. Merritt shot a 4-under 67 on Sunday and finished his first career victory in 96 starts with a

got it scripted and when it happens, you’re not thinking,” he said. “You don’t remember what your name is. You’re just reacting. That’s all it was.” The victory came a day after Merritt soared to the lead with a tournament-record 61 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

Use of batboys, girls ended after one dies MARGARET STAFFORD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. — Jimmy Graham reached over the top of the shorter safety, hauled in the touchdown pass from Russell Wilson and immediately turned and spiked the football. Sure, it was only the fourth training camp practice for Graham with his new team, and the catch was made over a defensive back not likely to be around for the regular season. But the sight of Graham using his athleticism and size to haul in a TD from Wilson is one the Seattle Seahawks want to see regularly. “What an exciting addition for a club and everyone can feel it,” coach Pete Carroll said. “We’ve got some things we do that he fits right in with. There are a couple little tweaks we do and we’ve done with him in the past, and it’s just going to be building the connection. But it is going to be done.” Graham’s early debut with the Seahawks has been exactly what was expected. On a team already loaded with talent and coming off two straight Super Bowl appearances, everyone understand the unique talents that were added when Graham was acquired from New Orleans via trade in March. He’s the biggest pass catcher on the field with the athleticism

and body control that is rarely seen among tight ends. The loudest cheers from the training camp crowd sitting on the grass berm Monday were for Graham’s catch. “To have a guy like Jimmy Graham added on to our team and then the rest of the guys that we have as well, it makes it exciting,” Wilson said. “It makes our offence really, really hard to stop and it’s already been hard enough to stop.” There are significant differences between what Graham will do in Seattle and what he was asked to do in New Orleans. Blocking was rarely a priority with the Saints because of their
pass-happy offence led by Drew Brees. Graham said the past couple of seasons he was “pretty banged up” by midseason, so being a pass catcher was the priority. With the Seahawks, blocking is a priority on par with making receptions. “It’s very important for me to be a part of that here because that’s about 75 per cent of the offence here and if you have a back like (Marshawn Lynch), you want to be in there on those explosive runs and you want to be part of that,” Graham said. Graham also knows that pass plays will no longer be static with Wilson as his new quarterback.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The National Baseball Congress suspended using batboys and girls during its World Series games in Kansas following the death of a nine-year-old boy who was accidentally hit in the head with a bat during a game. Kaiser Carlile died Sunday, a day after he was hit by a follow-through swing near the on-deck circle during the Liberal Bee Jays’ game in Wichita. The boy was wearing a helmet. During an emotional news conference Monday, Kaiser was remembered as an energetic, happy boy who loved being part of the Bee Jays. Manager Adam Anderson and several players said he inspired them to always work hard, have fun and win. “I can’t get over how hard he worked, and he was having fun doing it,” said outfielder Gavin Wehby, who plays for Nicholls State. “I was blessed to have called him a friend, a teammate and most of all a brother.” The NBC’s general manager, Kevin Jenks, said Kaiser would be honoured throughout the tournament until the championship game Saturday. The honours will include having the boy’s initials on the scoreboard marquee and fundraisers for his family during the games. The team also is wearing wrist-
bands and T-shirts with Kaiser’s initials. Kaiser’s father, Chad Carlile, said his son was competitive but also just loved the game of baseball. He said Kaiser cherished a pair of shoes and a white bracelet the team had given him. He said his son’s organs will be donated. “There is no anger towards what happened,” he said. “This is something that was obviously a tragedy. I want no bad comments . . . He was happy. He loved it and the team we are obviously for loved him as well.” The tournament has been in Wichita since 1931 and this is the first time such a situation has occurred, Jenks said. “We have over 900 participants coming into the World Series every year,” Jenks said. “You never expect anything like this to happen.” The Bee Jays played and won after Kaiser was hurt Saturday night and won again on Sunday, making it to the semifinals. His parents attended Sunday’s game and supported the team’s decision to continue playing “because they know that’s what Kaiser would want us to do,” Anderson said. Anderson said the death has hit his teammates hard. He said the team has been comforted by support from across the country and the world and its staying together to cope with the loss.

Canada drops heartbreaker, falls to U.S.A. in PNC finale JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
BURNABY — Canada would do just about anything for a victory in men’s rugby at the moment. AJ MacGinty scored a drop goal in 80th minute Monday as the United States downed Canada 15-13 in the fifth-place game at the Pacific Nations Cup. The Canadians finished the six-team tournament with four losses, including back-to-back gut-wrenching results after Wednesday’s 21-20 defeat to Samoa that also saw the winning points come in the dying seconds. “Another disappointing loss for us. We gave a full performance,” said Canadian captain Aaron Carpenter. “We stopped playing a bit there. We let them come at us and played scared a little bit because we’ve lost a couple tight games in the last couple outings.” MacGinty added a 4 for 4 performance on penalties for the Americans (2-2-0), who are ranked 16th in world. Canadian substitute Nick Blevins scored the game’s only try in the 71st minute on a lung-busting run down the right-hand side that gave No. 18 Canada
a 13-12 lead after Liam Underwood’s conversion before MacGinty snatched the victory for his team. Canadian head coach Kieran Crowley has been attempting to implement new systems ahead of the Rugby World Cup in England, which begins on Sept. 18, and despite the losses, he’s encouraged by his team’s play over the last three weeks. “We’ve built on everything as we’ve gone forward, but in the end we would have liked to get at least one result go our way,” said Crowley. “A couple (close) losses. “You’ve got to win those games and we didn’t. “There has been progress made, but it needs to get another step up.” Canada is just 2-11 over its last 13 test matches dating back to November 2013, with the only victories coming over No. 21 Namibia and No. 29 Portugal. The losses include No. 9 Samoa (twice), No. 11 Scotland, No. 12 Tonga, No. 13 Japan (twice), No. 14 Georgia, the U.S. (twice) and No. 17 Romania (twice). The record worsens when counting nontest losses to the New Zealand Maori and an English second-division all-star team.

HAMILTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Zach Collaros and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats continue to roll at Tim Hortons Field. Collaros threw three TD passes as Hamilton defeated the Toronto Argonauts 34-18 on Monday night to remain unbeaten at the new facility. The Ticats (3-2) improved to 8-0 overall at the stadium â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes their 40-24 East Division final win over the Montreal Alouettes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and moved into a tie with Toronto (3-2) atop the East Division standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like the East final with all the anticipation and hoopla around the game but I thought we did a good job of locking in,â&#x20AC;? Collaros said.

The trump exit left declarer without a chance of success since hearts divided 4-2 and the partscore finished down one, N-S -50. The good news is that North did not advance to game but merely offered an invitation. He held 12 HCP but no aces and only a 4-4 fit was present. South owns a Flannery hand but this convention was not among their agreements. 3NT would appear to have no chance when East begins with the ace of diamonds since North can count only eight tricks. However, he could endplay East for a second club winner if he concludes that hearts are 4-2. After leading a heart for the nine and ten and cashing four spades, ending in dummy, the ace of hearts is followed by a club to the king. East has been reduced to clubs and will compelled to cede a second club whether he wins or ducks.

HAMILTON, DR. JAMES ARTHUR VICTOR (HAMISH) January 7, 1919 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 27, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Hamish at the age of 96 at the Nanaimo Travellers Lodge. He was predeceased by his first wife Ruth and his brother John Maxwell (Mac) Hamilton in Scotland. He leaves to mourn his loss his loving wife Beryl of 37 years, much loved daughters Claire in Vancouver, Pauline (Zane) in Edmonton, Carol (John) in Nanaimo, and Glenda (Henri) also of Nanaimo, Stepson Douglas Harding in Singapore, and stepdaughter Jill Gordon in Vancouver, plus 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Born in Dalserf, Scotland Hamish attended Glasgow University where he earned his F.R.F.P.S. in medicine, and then received his F.R.C.S. from Edinburgh University. He served in the army as a medic in W.W.2 and later on emigrated to Canada with his family in 1952 where he got his Canadian F.R.C.S in Rockliffe, Ontario and was Surgeon in Charge in the R.C.A.F. from 1952 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1955. Hamish and his family escaped the Ontario winters and moved to Nanaimo as a General Surgeon where he joined the practice of Drs. Maneely and Brown and later was one of the founders of the Caledonian Clinic with Drs. Baldwin, Howey, and Dudley. He was Chief Director of Surgery at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital until his forced retirement in 1963 due to a back injury. Hamish was an avid golfer, having played as a youngster with his parents and older brother in Scotland, and played until his 88th year when his back injury was instrumental in his retirement. Hamish was a sports fan, and enjoyed watching hockey, football and tennis on T.V. until the last few weeks before his passing. He belonged to the Nanaimo Yacht Club and the Gyro Club for many years and also enjoyed woodworking in his shed, making hanging baskets, window boxes and patio furniture. With the help of his good friend and neighbor Maury Loudoun he designed our house on top of the hill and had many happy times with friends and wonderful neighbours over the years. Many thanks to Dr. Beth Hepburn, and all the kind and caring staff of Nanaimo Travellers Lodge, who helped to make his life easier during the 10 months that he was there. They truly are dedicated to the care of their patients and their families. There will be no service at Hamishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request but a family get together will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Nanaimo Hospital Foundation, The Salvation Army or the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated.

ANGUS JAMES ATKINSON born on March 17, 1976, died suddenly on the evening of July 25th, 2015 doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle. He lived his life to the fullest; surrounding himself with those he loved most right up until his last second. He had found complete freedom and left this world doing exactly what he was most passionate about in all areas of his life. Angus is survived by his loving brother Tyler Atkinson, devoted mother Denise Griffiths (her partner Nat McKay), father James (his wife Richa) as well as numerous other close family and friends. No one was loved more than Angus, who is greatly missed by his family, friends and community. Angus struggled with his inner demons in his early years. He was fortunate enough to have found a recovery community and spent the last 15 years of life working his own recovery, bravely embracing his willingness to become a better man. Angus continued to give freely what had been given to him and was dedicated to helping others. He modelled increasingly healthy behaviours, demonstrating and encouraging others to embrace their own recovery and truth. He lived by the philosophy of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one life no regretsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Angus lived a compassionate, energetic, full life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a life worth living â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as he followed his dreams. There will be a service held 2:00 pm on August 6th at Valley View Funeral Home in Surrey, BC and another one at 1:30pm on August 9th at Beban Park Social Centre in Nanaimo, BC. The family requests that in Lieu of flowers, that donations can be made to a fund set up to keep Angusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dream alive. Angus dreamt of having a home for people who struggled like he did in his early years, to give freely to others who need help and support â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dream he shares with his brother Tyler. Donations can be made at CIBC Transit/Account Number 00250/84-23083.

BOX OFFICE
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; climbs high to No. 1 with $55.5 million THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mission: Impossible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rogue Nation coasted to the top of the box office in its first weekend in theatres, collecting a solid $55.5 million. It was slightly less than the Sunday estimates indicated and represented the third-best opening ever for a moving starring Tom Cruise. It also was the second-best opening in the series after Mission: Impossible II. The Paramount and Skydance Productions film cost an estimated $150 million to produce and has already opened in a number of territories overseas as well, with a China release scheduled Sept. 8. Warner Bros. Vacation, a continuation of the Griswoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road trip saga that started in 1983 with National Lampoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vacation, took
the second spot at the box office with $14.7 million over the weekend. The film, which cost $30 million to produce, opened Wednesday at least in part to avoid competing directly with Mission: Impossible. Vacation has earned $21 million to date.

Don’t let wife live in a fantasy world dealing with son’s long-term recovery Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for seven years. She has a son from a previous marriage who got into drugs as a teen. Four years ago, my wife put her son in rehab, but he had a relapse and briefly ended up in prison. The effect it had on my wife was devastating and she began to drink. My dislike for her son increased exponentially. Last year, my wife put her son in rehab again, this time in another state. He finished the program, but while there, met another addict in a halfway house for sober living and she got pregnant. They married two weeks ago, and my wife returned from the wedding exuberant and giddy. She demanded that we allow the couple to live with
us so she could give her son a second chance. I told her “no.” In response, she removed her wedding ring. My wife now plans to move out of state to live with the couple and take them out of the halfway house so she can care for the baby and rekindle her relationship with her son. I have spoken to numerous addiction experts and they all agree that the couple should remain where they are. My wife is defiant about it and has resolved to leave me. She thinks her son’s problems are all behind him now. I love my wife and don’t want to lose her. — Crestfallen Husband Dear Crestfallen: Your wife is living in a fantasy, and her rushing in to take over her son’s life could undermine his recovery. But she believes she is helping and to some extent, that’s true. The problem is, her son needs to know that he can stand on his own feet first and he hasn’t completely done that. Would she speak to the addiction experts
about this? Do her son and new daughter-in-law understand the downside of moving out of the halfway house too soon? If you cannot convince your wife to change her mind, and you want to stay married, we recommend that you be supportive. This could work out. Having a baby together might encourage the couple to be more committed to staying clean. Your wife’s assistance could allow them to find decent jobs. Tell her you are on her side and consider this a temporary separation. We hope it is. Dear Annie: After relocating in retirement, I find people correcting or commenting negatively about my pronunciation. In 70 years, I cannot recall one incident of people doing that where I previously lived. Recently, a woman I thought of as a friend turned to another woman to comment on my pronunciation. While this has happened only a few times, it has made me uncomfortable and I have started to withdraw, keeping to myself.

What can I say to people who do this? Or should I just stay home? — Hurt and Unwelcome Dear Hurt: Please don’t stay home and isolate yourself. If you have moved to a new area, it’s likely that you have a regional accent and others simply need to get used to it. If someone says something hurtful, politely reply, “This is the way I speak. I’m sorry you find it so offensive.” We hope they will fall over themselves apologizing for their rudeness.

Williams still weeks away from return THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Next week marks the end of Brian Williams’ sixmonth suspension from NBC News for exaggerating his role in news stories, but he isn’t expected back on the air in his new job at MSNBC for at least another month. Williams was suspended on Feb. 10 after his story about flying in a helicopter hit by enemy fire in Iraq in 2003 was shown to be false, triggering an investigation into other incidents of self-aggrandizement in talking about his reporting. He lost his job as NBC’s “Nightly News” anchor and was named a breaking news anchor at the cable news outlet. MSNBC hasn’t announced a start date for Williams. The tentative target for his return is for the network’s coverage of Pope Francis’ visit to the United States, scheduled for Sept. 22-27, according to an executive there who spoke on condition of anonymity because plans aren’t fully set. Williams won’t have a regular time slot at MSNBC, but will work during daytime hours on busy news days.
