Aircraft noise exceedingly loud, say Cedar residents

Security ﬁrm wins $276K contract ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

and want short-haul flights moved to the instrument landing approach. Mike Hooper, Nanaimo Airport president said noise is a hazard when living near any airport, no different than living near a highway, but said that doesn’t mean noise complaints aren’t taken seriously. The airport set up a “noise mitigation round-table,” group more than two years ago. The group meets quarterly, “and we’ve invited these people to the noise mitigation conversation,” said Hooper. “It’s not something we ignore. Sometimes we can talk to the air carriers (or) the chief of pilots. We’ll see what we can do to help everybody as much as possible.”

Searching for fires at the Cedar landfill will be one the primary tasks for the new security company that recently won the contract to patrol the site. Larry Gardner, the solid waste manager for the Regional District of Nanaimo, which operates the garbage landfill, said security guards employed by Securiguard, which was given a three-year, $276,000 contract by the RDN last week, will look for fires as well as prevent thefts and break ins. Gardner said being on the watch for fires at the landfill has always been one of the responsibilities of the site’s security guards, but they will be expected to be even more diligent during the ongoing drought in the region. “We need to extinguish any fires at the landfill immediately after they are spotted because the challenge of containing and managing them becomes much harder the longer they are given to grow and spread,” Gardner said. Gardner said fires can begin at the landfill for a variety of reasons, including “hot loads” that are brought in that contain materials that can ignite, like left-over wood stove ash. He said organic materials can sometimes also ignite through spontaneous combustion, and chemical reactions can occur when certain substances are mixed that can cause fires. “There’s also a chance that people driving by the landfill will throw discarded cigarettes from their cars and start a fire that can spread to the landfill,” Gardner said. Gardner said there had been one fire at the landfill earlier this year, but it was noticed quickly and extinguished. He said a fire last year at the Church Road transfer station in Parksville caused approximately $20,000 in damages. “Luckily, there was a good sprinkler system at that site that kept the fire from being even worse than it was,” Gardner said.

Issue not the airport, but landing approaches DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

edar residents want pilots to adjust their flight paths to reduce a noise problem. Starling Road resident Don Keddy and neighbour Jim Sayenchuk have been asking Nanaimo Airport to do something about the problem since they first noticed it, in December. They say it’s only on certain short-haul flights between Nanaimo and Vancouver. The Vancouver-Nanaimo route follows a path that is a mix of residential and semi-rural neighbourhoods, and small farms. Nav Canada, the Crown corporation responsible for air traffic control, flight information and other air navigation services requires aircraft to fly at a minimum altitude of 1,200 feet moving through airspace over Cedar.

“We’ve invited these people to the noise mitigation conversation . . . We’ll see what we can do to help everybody as much as possible.” Mike Hooper, Nanaimo Airport president

Keddy said he hears noise at his home, five kilometres from the airport, when pilots fly aircraft too low. “They’ve got their landing gear down,” Keddy said. “Whenever they’ve got their landing gear down and their flaps up, they’ve got to increase the power.” Keddy, a welder whose job takes him all over Western Canada, appreciates the expansion and improvements at YCD, but he

moved to his semi-rural neighbourhood from Nanaimo in 2003 because “it’s peaceful.” Sayenchuk, who’s retired, keeps track of which flights are excessively loud. He makes a video record of it and logs the time and date, which he correlates against website flight data. “I’m doing this because on Dec. 13 they changed the way they fly on a non-instrument approach,” said Sayenchuk. There are two different approaches to Nanaimo Airport: A path that closely follows the Nanaimo River, for larger, medium-haul aircraft that use instrument landing systems; and the non-instrument approach, over much of Cedar, used mainly by smaller airplanes such as Dash-8s. They say they’re not alone in losing patience with the noise,

A meeting will be held on Sept. 2 to discuss facilities in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district. School board chairman Steve Rae said trustees have been sending staff questions all summer from them and the public around the recommendations that were part of the proposed new facilities plan which was rejected in June. He said he expects staff will attempt to answer the questions at the meeting, which begins at 4 p.m. in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board office, as part of the process of developing a new facilities plan. The plan that was rejected called for the closure of Rutherford and Departure Bay elementary schools and North Cedar Intermediate and Woodlands Secondary schools in June of 2016, among other proposals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel we were provided with enough information in June to make decisions of such magnitude,â&#x20AC;? Rae said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what staff have been working on all summer at the meeting, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure at this stage when the new and revised plan will be tabled.â&#x20AC;? Last April, trustees gave staff until the end of June to revise the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities plan to take into account the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision at the time to re-open Cedar Secondary School. But the trustees rejected the plan because they felt that they had incomplete information and sent it back to staff for more work.

The plan that was tabled would have seen students from the aging Woodlands Secondary School transferred to Nanaimo District and Wellington secondary schools in the fall of 2016. Students from Departure Bay and Rutherford elementary schools were to be transferred to Frank J. Ney Elementary School, which would have a new wing added. Among other proposals in the plan was the creation of a Nanaimo District Secondary

School advisory committee that would be tasked to develop a recommendation of next steps for the redevelopment of NDSS and its 14.1-hectare site.

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

More people are discovering Nanaimo and Tourism Nanaimo is working hard to increase that growth continues, city council heard in an update from the taxpayer-supported agency Monday. Tourism Nanaimo was put under the umbrella of the Economic Development Corporation in 2011, to make the agency more accountable to the taxpayers who contribute to its operation. As such, the agency must report back to the city annually on its operations. The city is seeing a lot more visitors this year, with many coming to see friends and family members. Others are from the U.S., including some who got a little push from a joint marketing program between Black Ball Ferry Line and the municipalities of Sooke and Tofino. That program is designed to lure Island visitors north of the Malahat, and it seems to be paying off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Ball Ferry is seeing a 10 to 15 per cent increase in traffic this year,â&#x20AC;? said Lesley Anderson, executive director of destination management for Tourism Nanaimo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also seeing a lot more inquiries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of requests about the Nanaimo Bars Trail.â&#x20AC;? The trail leads chocolate aficionados through downtown Nanaimo to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;34 different ways you can explore and try Nanaimo bars,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. While eating the custard-filled treat might sound blasĂŠ to a local, Tourism Nanaimo has already received 4,000 views from visitors interested in the trail this year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People love to eat and people love to try culinary delights that are authentic to the destination. When you go to Greece, you want to try the baklava. In Italy you try the gelato. It takes several days to try the entire Nanaimo Bar Trail.â&#x20AC;? Lesley Anderson, Tourism Nanaimo

And people who do the trail are enthusiastic about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People love to eat and people love to try culinary delights that are authentic to the destination,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go to Greece, you want to try the baklava. In Italy you try the gelato. It takes several days to try the entire Nanaimo Bar Trail, trust me.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to know how many of those new American visitors to the Island come to Nanaimo, but inquiries to the Visitor Centre are up seven per cent to 9,218 to date, with U.S. visitors making up 10 per cent of inquiries, up from six per cent last year. Hotel occupancy rates were up three per cent year-to-date in June and a random survey by Tourism Nanaimo reports a 97 per cent satisfaction rate from visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vancouver Island brand is really strong. They love what the Island has to offer,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

» Our View

There has be a limit to all the complaining

“N

ot in my backyard.” The notion of NIMBYism has found its way into the headlines many times over the years in Nanaimo. The gentle teasing that suggests the “No-naimo” moniker might be more appropriate has been around forever. Like pretty much everywhere else, we have lots and lots of folks who tend to complain a little. Or a lot. You want to build some social housing? Great, just not in my backyard. You want to build a highrise? Awesome, just make sure it doesn’t block my view. And on and on. But is this really so terrible? You want to close my high school? Not on my watch. You want to tear out some dams?

Good luck with that, Skippy. You want to build an overpriced conference centre? Sure, just try it. (Can’t win ‘em all . . .) Just this week, we’ve had Gabriola residents launch a flotilla to show their displeasure with freighters anchoring off their island. Today, it’s residents who live near the airport unhappy with the noise of specific flights. Here’s where it starts to get interesting. If you live near the airport, chances are it’s going to be noisy. Kind of like if, back in the day, you moved near Cassidy Speedway and decided to make an issue out of the noise there. One resident keeps track of which flights are excessively loud, makes a video record of it, logs the time and date and correl-

ates it with website flight data. The neighbours want short-haul flights moved to the instrument landing approach. Mike Hooper, Nanaimo Airport president, correctly pointed out that noise is a hazard when living near an airport, much like living near a highway. He also said noise complaints are taken seriously. The airport set up a noise mitigation roundtable group that meets quarterly. “We’ll see what we can do help everybody as much as possible.” That’s a terrific good-neighbour policy and surely helps a lot when dealing with complaints. The neighbours in this case aren’t opposed to the airport, they are just looking for relief from the specific flights. The approach from the airport lead-

ers makes it more likely something can be worked out. Again, we come back to the overall notion of “complaining.” Is it a good thing? Sure it is, to a point. We want people to have a voice. It’s imperative that if people think something is amiss, that they have legitimate outlets for their concerns. We want people to stand up for themselves. That includes the ones who hate everything. But, as Hubert H. Humphrey once famously uttered: “The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.” One of the more vexing problems in Nanaimo during the past two decades has been the squeaky wheels out there inces-

santly getting the most grease. Far too often, our politicians (sticking with the airport theme here) are like windsocks. It’s awfully hard to get things done when leaders vacillate or kowtow to special-interest groups who can shout the loudest. Decisions are made, then altered, then altered again. This isn’t always representing the best interests of an entire community. Part of the reason we have so many complainers is because they know the strategy works. We need our leaders to stand firm more often, especially in the face of what too often can amount to empty bleating. » We want to hear from you.

Tom Fletcher Opinion

he first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.

This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good. Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests. Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if — a big if — Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in

exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately? Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete. Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last

week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Scary bull ride for 21-year-old Qualicum Beach competitor

Store makes room for more First Nations art

PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

Things can change in a moment while riding on the back of a bull, as Qualicum Beach’s Brooke Starkey found out the hard way. Starkey, a 21-year-old currently living in Alberta, was tossed to the ground and the bull she was riding stepped directly on her chest. Two collapsed lungs, a bruised heart, a small spleen laceration and four fractured ribs later, Starkey has since returned to her parents’ home in Qualicum Beach.

Robert Barron Reporting

hapel Street’s Lexi Diamonds Gifts is having a liquidation sale to make way for new inventory. One of the store’s main specialities is jewelry made from diamonds that were mined in the Northwest Territories, but owner Don Yamkowy said the jewelry doesn’t seem to have “much draw” in Nanaimo. He said with less diamond jewelry and some other items that are proving hard to sell taking up less space, he’ll have more room for more First Nations art from local artists and other new inventory. “We’re trying to change things up a bit to meet the needs of the local buyers,” Yamkowy said.

“It was an eye opener,” Starkey said. “It was pretty scary at first but there were some good people taking care of me as soon as it happened and things turned out for the better after everything settled down.” She was taking part in the Blue Dust Diesel competition trying to earn a spot at a four day camp at Professional Bull Riding co-founder Cody Lambert’s Texas ranch. “The timing for the injuries wasn’t the best,” Starkey said. For now, she’s recovering well and is looking forward to getting back to training.

Store renovations The Quality Foods location in Northridge Centre is in the middle of some major renovations. Rob MacKay, a spokesman for the Vancouver Island-based grocery store chain, said the location in north Nanaimo will soon see a new entrance way and front section when the renovations are complete. He said the upgrades also include expansions in a number of the store’s departments, including the deli and produce areas, as well as more seats added to its popular cafe. MacKay said the store remains open during the renovations. “We figured it was time for some renovations to refresh the store for our customers, and add some floor space,” he said. “The plan is to have the renovations completed sometime this fall.”

at 1045B Terminal Ave, has started a daily all-you-can-eat lunchtime buffet. The buffet, which costs $13.95 per person, runs from noon to 3 p.m. daily and features a wide range of authentic Indian foods. The restaurant, which only opened its doors in Nanaimo six months ago, is owned by the Kandola family. Brothers Tony and Kal Kandola opened their first Manvirro’s Indian Grill in the Comox Valley more than two years ago, and the restaurant has been so well received in the community that they decided to open the second location in Nanaimo.

‘Inventor’ on rusting hulk treating cancer

Qualicum Beach sees dispute at an impasse

Man invites clients on vessel cited as environmental hazard LADYSMITH CHEMAINUS CHRONICLE

Victor Voigt, an ‘inventor’ who claims to be able to heal cancer ‘within 10 days’ is setting up on the Viki Lyne II and inviting clients to come aboard for treatments. Voigt, who offers free treatments to people with an instrument he has invented called the Magic Magee Healing Tool, said on Thursday that he has cleaned out one bathroom aboard the Viki Lyne II and intends to make more improvements. Informed that a Canadian Coast Guard commissioned survey of the Viki Lyne II was conducted in 2012, and that it indicated the hull of the 54 yearold trawler is virtually rusted through, Voigt said, “It isn’t yet.” “In fact, the hull may be penetrated below the water line but covered with scale and marine growth which is preventing the in flooding of the hull.” The Canadian Coast Guard, asked about the safety of having people aboard the vessel, has not yet been responded. But McAllistar Marine & Design was so concerned, they issued the following warning: “All readers of this document are cautioned that scraping of the external hull below the waterline may cause the vessel to flood.” The Ladysmith Maritime Society, the Town of Ladysmith and the Stz’uminus First Nation have all expressed serious concerns about the environmental hazard posed by the Viki Lyne. Last fall 20,000 litres of oil and solvents

were removed from the boat by the Coast Guard, but 13,000 litres remain — enough to do serious harm to the recreation, tourism and shell fish industries centered in Ladysmith Harbour. “No-one should be on that vessel,” said Rod Smith, managing director of the Ladysmith Maritime Society, which runs the Ladysmith Community Marina, adjacent to the Dogpatch area where the Viki Lyne II is moored.

PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

The positions are close but the rhetoric is heating up in the Qualicum Beach labour dispute. “The mayor’s a very good person . . . so he calls it ‘somewhat inaccurate.’ I call it a bald faced lie,” Coun. Neil Horner said of CUPE Local 401 Blaine Gurrie saying council isn’t offering anything new. Mayor Teunis Westbroek said he and chief administrative officer Daniel Sailland met with Gurrie at the Qualicum Beach Inn on Aug. 4 with a new offer totalling eight per cent in increases over four and a half years, along with the existing $1,800 signing bonus and the addition of reduced Sunday staffing, which union members requested. Westbroek and Sailland said they left the meeting optimistic that they had a compromise and staff would be back at work by the end of the week. “I’m sure they’re telling you something different,” Gurre said of that meeting, agreeing he left thinking they had a tentative agreement, but things fell apart over a proposed “one and one” increase for 2014, the first year of the contract.

Gurre said he interpreted that as a one per cent increase in January and another one per cent bump in July, but council interpreted it as a one per cent increase in January, plus a July increase of just one per cent of the January increase. Westbroek said the union’s two per cent annual wage increase demand adds up to just over a million dollars for tax payers over the five-year contract, requiring a one per cent annual property tax increase. “Council’s been doing backflips, we’re trying to resolve this,” said Horner. In a news release, Gurre called the council position “stubborn and short sighted,” leaving the union with no other option than to ramp up pressure. Westbroek said that while the union leadership seems stuck on the two per cent, other contracts have been negotiated around the province for less than that. Sailland added that some of the exempt staff have been followed around town to meetings and work covering essential services like garbage collection. Both sides say they are open to continued negotiations, but that no formal talks are currently scheduled.

NATIONAL NEWS The Canadian Press ◆ CORNER BROOK, N.L.

United Church to drop fossil fuel investments The general council of one of Canada’s largest churches has voted to drop fossil fuels from its investment portfolios, with advocates for the motion saying the decision is based on the Christian duty to care for the earth. Commissioners attending the United Church of Canada’s general council in Corner Brook, N.L., voted 67 per cent in favour Tuesday to divest the industry from its treasury assets and to shift the $5.9 million from the portfolio into green renewable energy ventures. There are 400 people attending the meeting, and a sub-group of about 150 members voted on the divestment motion.

◆ OTTAWA

Study says F-35 ﬁghters may not match CF-18s A U.S. defence and foreign affairs think tank released a report Tuesday suggesting the oft-maligned F-35 jet might not meet the performance standards of existing fighter planes, including Canada’s CF-18s. The National Security Network, a non-profit foreign policy group based in Washington, D.C., is the latest organization to raise questions about the stealth fighter program, which is over budget and behind schedule in the U.S. The Harper government put its purchase of 65 F-35s on hold after being accused by the auditor general of fudging the price tag and not doing sufficient research.

◆ OTTAWA

New home construction slows, Calgary plunging New home construction slowed in July for the first time in three months, mostly as a result of fewer multi-unit projects started in urban areas — particularly Calgary, said the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. Tuesday. Actual housing starts for Calgary were down 43 per cent in July from the same month last year, falling to 770 units from 1,354. For the year so far, housing starts are down 31 per cent for the city. Calgary’s economy has been hit by the protracted plunge in oil prices and it’s showing in the real estate market, said Richard Cho, CMHC’s principal of market analysis for Calgary.

Environmental order for Syncrude in bird deaths

Ex-Harper aide set to testify at Duffy trial

Alberta Energy Regulator calls it ‘guidance to the company’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — Oilsands giant Syncrude is facing an environmental protection order following the deaths of 30 great blue herons at one of its sites. “It’s guidance to the company,” Alberta Energy Regulator spokesman Bob Curran said Tuesday. “We’re specifying what our expectations are, what information we expect the company to deliver and in what time frame.” Syncrude revealed on the weekend that 29 carcasses from the large shorebirds were discovered last Friday near a pump house at an abandoned sump pond at the Mildred Lake mine site north of Fort McMurray. One additional bird was euthanized on the order of Alberta Fish and Wildlife. Although bird deterrents were working elsewhere on the mine site, Syncrude spokesman Will Gibson acknowledged Tuesday that no such equipment was in operation at the sump. “We didn’t have any deterrents in the area at the time,” he said. “We typically put deterrents around our tailings facility.” Since the discovery, Syncrude has installed fencing, sound cannons and bird-scaring statues, including a robotic falcon. Human observers are also stationed at the site around the clock. Gibson was unable to say if similar measures have been installed at any of Syncrude’s other sumps. “We want to find out what attracted (the birds) there. I don’t want to speculate about whether we have a similar set of circum-

stances at other sumps in our operation.” Curran said an investigation is to determine if Syncrude was following all rules regarding wildlife. “We need to determine the cause of death of those birds, because we don’t know what it is.” Meanwhile, the company is obliged to collect samples from the site for analysis, develop a plan to clean it up and publish daily reports on its progress. Some of that work has already begun, Curran said. “They would be collecting the water and soil samples. They’ve already begun work on the wildlife mitigation plan. They’ve put some measures in place

◆ HALIFAX

U.K. sailors charged in sexual assault seek permission to return to Britain A judge has adjourned a hearing until Wednesday for three of four British sailors who are seeking a change in their bail conditions after being charged with sexually assaulting a woman in Halifax. The men want to return to the United Kingdom pending a preliminary inquiry scheduled for five days next April in Halifax provincial court.

to ensure that other animals don’t come in contact with the place where the heron deaths occurred.” Gibson said Syncrude is still trying to find out what was in that particular sump. Ornithologists suggest that while herons gather in groups for nesting, it is unusual for large numbers to be together unless there is an abundant food source. Jeff Wells of the Boreal Songbird Initiative said it’s more probable that the birds died over an extended time period. “It’s too soon for me to make an informed comment on that,” Gibson said. He said no other animal carcasses have been found at the site.

OTTAWA — The moment has arrived for Nigel Wright to fill in the blanks on his controversial dealings with Sen. Mike Duffy, but the prime minister’s former chief of staff won’t be the only one with fresh details this week. With Wright beginning his testimony today at Duffy’s fraud, breach of trust and bribery trial, the defence team is expected to soon release hundreds of internal emails exchanged with Stephen Harper’s key people. On the first day of the trial in April, defence lawyer Donald Bayne threw that thick binder of evidence down on a courtroom table with a loud thump — a teaser of things to come. The full transcript of Wright’s 2013 interview with police has also yet to be seen publicly. Wright’s mere presence at the trial, combined with the new exhibits, will breathe new life into a scandal that embroiled a number of people close to Harper — as well as some of his top Senate appointees — smack in the middle of an election campaign. Harper has maintained he knew nothing about Wright’s payment before it emerged in the media. But the scandal has also revolved around the political culture inside Harper’s office and the efforts of his staff to make Duffy’s expense controversy go away. When police declared in April 2014 that Wright would not face charges, he continued to insist — as he always has — that he was acting out of the best of intentions.

ne of the best things about the summer season are all those local fruit beers stocking the brew shelves of your friendly local liquor store. Thankfully fruit beers complement hot weather perfectly. Tart and light, most are tangy, light-flavoured wheat beers with lower alcohol content than regular beers. When brewed with fruit, the results include a serious palate pleasing sensation. Every year I look forward to the arrival of Pineapple Express Wheat Ale from Whistler Brewing. Within the summer roll call of B.C. fruit beers, this beer is truly unique. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brewed ale-style, making it richer than traditional wheat beers. Pineapple Express pours out as a rich, cloudy gold colour. The bouquet is mouth-watering, a mix of grainy wheat malt and tart pineapple. Moderate carbonation delivers zingy fruit flavours with a good balance of leafy bitter hops. The finish on this beer is quite dry and its pineapple acidity lingers on the palate for extended enjoyment. Another brew worth knowing is Hoyne Brewing Company with their Entre Nous Cherry Witbier (Belgium-style wheat beer). Light and fresh, this classic witbier delivers an aroma of freshly baked bread when you pop the cap.

Fruit flavours like pineapple, cherry and strawberry are adding tang to a range of light-flavoured beers.

Entre Nous pours out amber in colour with a dense creamy head. There are hints of cherry on the nose and cherry flavour on the tongue. With its comfortable balance of mild hoppiness and firm acidity, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough of this great Victoria-made beer. Understandably, it sells out fast. New to the craft beer movement, Fuggles and Warlock Craftworks have created a strawberry Belgium-style wheat beer for summer quaffing. Voted best of the show at the Squamish Beer Festival, this is a beer of which these novice brewers should be immensely proud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Strawberryâ&#x20AC;? gives a huge burst of strawberries and

cream on the nose, alongside malty wheat and lemon zest. Yet the strawberry flavour does not overwhelm the beer and its subtle fruit compliments the yeasty, herbal witbier with a sweet, tart harmony. This light-bodied sipper goes beautifully with a hot, sunny day. The Raspberry Lemon Zest Hefe from Postmark Brewing is also another refreshing libation. The yeast used by Postmark in this Bavarian-style Hefeweizen wheat beer produces lively carbonation and distinctive aromas of banana and spice. Its light raspberry flavours, a hint of lemon, its dryness and subtlety make the Zest Hefe a great food-pairing beer. Seafood

and salads are easily complimented by its peppy bubbles and citrus notes. As beer lovers on the island know, the third Thursday of every month is Beer Club evening at Luckys Liquor Store in Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Club Centre. This month Hoyne Brewery from Victoria â&#x20AC;&#x201D; makers of that gorgeous Entre Nous Cherry Witbier mentioned above will be offering samplings of their products. This free event which fills up fast starts at 6:30 pm and seating is limited. For more info visit us at www. luckysliquor, find us on Facebook or call 250-585-2275 for more information.

RECIPE

Nothing corny about summertime delights Chef Dez On Cooking

much loved side dish with summer meals is good old fashioned corn on the cob. Farm-fresh corn during the summer is very abundant and popular in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia where I live, but I know that there are many other areas also rich in this agricultural gold. No matter where one resides in North America, it always seems to be available fresh during the summer. Whole corn on the cob should either be eaten on the day of purchase or stored in the refrigerator, as the natural sugars convert to starch faster in the presence of warm temperatures.

Corn can be a very healthy part of a balanced diet as its dietary profile includes vitamin B1, folate, dietary fibre, vitamin C, phosphorus, and manganese. Everything however should be consumed in moderation, including the amount of butter and salt that is applied to the finished product. Fresh cracked pepper is one of my favourite toppings (along with the butter and salt) and is a great way to add tons of flavour. Let your creativity run wild in the kitchen and discover what else you can top your corn on the cob with. The Internet and local libraries are full of great recipe ideas. If grilling your corn on the cob instead of boiling it, try it over lump charcoal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the taste difference is amazing. I simply pull off the husks and place the cobs directly on the grill, while rotating them occasionally until mostly all the kernels are slightly charred.

The uses for fresh corn on the cob do not stop with just cooking whole. By standing the corn on end, carefully take a sharp knife and run it down the cob to remove the kernels. This will allow you to enjoy the fresh taste of corn in any recipe that calls for kernels of corn. One tip to catch the kernels efficiently is to use an angel food cake pan. With the cake pan sitting securely on a damp towel on the counter, stand the point of the cob of corn on the inner tube of the pan coming up the center. This will help to keep the cob steady and the falling removed kernels will collect in the cake pan. Try this compound butter recipe for something different the next time you have corn on the cob. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one our favourites.

Tequila Lime Chili Butter 1 cup salted butter, room temperature 2 tbsp chili powder 2 tbsp tequila 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tsp finely chopped lime zest Extra salt & pepper, if desired Place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix at medium speed, gradually increasing to high speed until fully combined, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Store at room temperature for a few days, or longer in the refrigerator. Spread on hot cooked corn and sprinkle with additional salt & pepper if desired. It makes approximately one cup of compound butter. Âť Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cookbook

he human body is about two thirds water. Water is needed for transporting nutrients to our cells, for removing wastes from our cells and for sweating; it is our bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooling system. In the summer heat, children lose a lot of water from their little bodies, especially if they are outdoors running around. Not drinking enough water will lead to dehydration which can make children sick. Thirst is often the first indicator of dehydration. Many children will ignore this feeling because they are having too much fun. By the time children feel thirsty, they might already be dehydrated. Other symptoms of dehydration include feeling dizzy or light headed, having a dry sticky mouth and rapid heartbeat. The colour of urine is a good indicator of fluid levels in the body. Urine during the day after the first trip to the bathroom should be colourless and odourless. If it is getting darker yellow, has a smell, or if the trips to the bathroom are less frequent, encourage your child to drink more water. If children are becoming dehydrated, take a time out in a cool shady place and encourage them to sip water until they are feeling better. If symptoms become worse, or if your child faints, see a doctor. Teach your children to drink plain, fresh, cold water. The best way to do this is to offer water frequently between meals. Milk can be served with the meal. If there is juice or pop in the house, your child may prefer to drink those beverages. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want your child to drink sweetened beverages, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy them. If the only choice is water, thirsty children will choose water. Keeping a jug of cold water available in the refrigerator is the best way to encourage children to drink. For small children, a jug with a tap on the bottom can make it easier for them to help themselves. Offer water breaks throughout the day. Have a jug and plastic cups that you can take outside, or provide each child with their own water bottle that they can fill up from the cold-water jug. Offering snacks of fresh fruit is another way to serve water to a thirsty child. Thick slices of watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, juicy peaches, oranges, nectarines, plums and berries, are all plump with extra fluid. Giving fresh fruit is the best way to offer juice to children. With fruit or vegetables, they get all the fibre as well as the juice. Frozen berries or small pieces of frozen fruit are also cool and refreshing. Serve with fresh water.

Quarterback’s jaw broken by teammate THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Geno Smith’s hopes for a breakout season with the New York Jets took a major blow — to the jaw. The quarterback will be sidelined at least 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw after being punched by teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali in the locker room Tuesday morning. Smith, entering his third season, required surgery to repair the injuries. Coach Todd Bowles made the stunning announcement in an impromptu news conference before training camp practice was scheduled to start. Enemkpali an outside linebacker in his second season, was immediately released by the Jets. Bowles said Smith and Enemkpali got into an “altercation” in the Jets’ locker room. “It had nothing to do with football,” Bowles said. “It was something very childish, and he got coldcocked, sucker-punched.”

PREMIERSHIP

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jose Bautista hit his 27th home run of the season to back a stellar outing from Drew Hutchison and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Oakland Athletics 4-2 on Tuesday for their ninth straight victory. Hutchison (11-2) went seven strong innings, giving up two earned runs while striking out six and walking two. The right-hander, who came into the game with a 5.42 earned-run average, threw just 82 pitches, 59 for strikes. Aaron Sanchez pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Roberto Osuna worked around a oneout double for his 11th save of the season. Ryan Goins and Justin Smoak had runs batted in for the Blue Jays (62-52), who improved to 17-6 since the all-star break. Chris Colabello had three hits, including two doubles. Kendall Graveman (6-8), who was traded from the Blue Jays along with Canadian Brett Lawrie for Josh Donaldson, gave up four runs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two earned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on five hits and one walk through 4 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old right-hander also struck out five batters in his return to Toronto. Hutchison left the game to a loud ovation from the 39,381 in attendance after giving up a single to Semien in the eighth. It was the first hit he allowed since the third inning. Semien scored on Burnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; RBI single off Sanchez to make it 4-2.

ast scored the king, when dummy played low, and switched to the queen of spades. South took the ace and followed with the king and ten of hearts topping the queen with the ace. The last trump was drawn and South could claim the contract conceding the ace and king of diamonds, N-S +620. East could have defeated the contract by switching to a diamond at trick two since West will score a third round ruff. This defense is suggested by East’s feeble trump holding. The ace of spades will not be lost if the pointed suit aces were exchanged since declarer holds a relatively balanced hand. At several tables, North chose to open 1NT and was swiftly raised to game. East selected the queen of spades as an opening lead at one table. This beginning was ducked but North won the continuation with the king to play a diamond. East hopped with the king and returned a spade driving out the ace. The nine- trick game finished down one. I would also open one diamond but the auction would become problematic when South responds one spade. Would North elect to underbid with 1NT or overbid by reversing into hearts? 3NT would be missed, which is OK on this occasion, but the major suit game would be reached when North rebids two hearts.
