reen Party Leader Elizabeth May promised to restore cuts to veterans services at a campaign stop in Nanaimo on Friday. Speaking at a Royal Canadian Legion in the city, May also said the Green Party would reinstate monthly payments to injured veterans to reverse the ‘lump sum’ payments brought in by the Conservatives in 2006, although the Greens acknowledge the policy change would cost “tens of millions of dollars annually.” She was flanked by supporter

Trevor Greene, a Nanaimo resident who is well known for a severe injury he suffered while serving in Afghanistan. Greene suffered a brain injury after being struck in the head with an axe by a teenager while with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan in 2006. He had removed his helmet to speak with a group of village elders when attacked. Since leaving the military, Greene has embarked on a career as a researcher and public speaker. May praised his conduct in the field. “You are Canada to me, Trevor,” she said, choking back tears. In an emotional speech punctuated by long pauses, Greene
slammed the Conservatives’ military record and cited their failure to retain its seat for the country on the UN Security Council. He also said Canada has drastically reduced its involvement in peacekeeping missions. “We’ve become a laughingstock,” he said. The announcement centred on resources for veterans. May suggested her party’s position was one accepted by a majority of Canadians. “I have not met a single Canadian who thought it was right that we should nickel and dime our veterans,” May said. “I don’t know a single, solitary soul who believes this was right. I know a lot of
Conservatives who voted for these cuts who don’t think they were right.” May, with Green candidates from all over Vancouver Island, promised that her party would vote to restore $266 million in funding to Veterans Affairs Canada. She also committed to funding the training of service dogs for veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, a program she estimated that would cost $1 million. May’s appearance is the first campaign stop of any major party leader in the city. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4244
A Vancouver-based pot retailer watched everything live on his cellphone from his Nicol Street store in Nanaimo on Wednesday as police raided his other store in East Vancouver. The Vancouver Police Department used a search warrant to raid the Limelife Society store at 4866 Rupert St. The VPD said that its officers were investigating organized crime links. No one was arrested in the raid. Robert Clarke, the owner of five Limelife medical cannabis dispensaries, and with plans for another in Victoria, said the claim is unfounded. “It’s more just a show of force,” said Clarke. “I have no ties to organized crime. I come from a normal family.” The VPD said in a press release that they got a tip in July that the store had links to an “organized crime group.” During their investigation, police in Vancouver said, they determined that pot was being sold to youth in that area, as well as to adults without a valid license. Cannabis possession is only legal for medicinal purposes and a Health Canada permit is required to identify the user as having a medical reason to use the drug. “Our priority remains focused on violent drug traffickers and those who jeopardize the safety of youth and the marginalized in our community,” said Vancouver Police Department spokesman Sgt. Randy Fincham. “The VPD will continue to respond to residents’ concerns and take enforcement action if it is required.” But Clarke said he works closely with the Vancouver Police Department. “I don’t understand why they didn’t inform me” that his East Vancouver store was under investigation, he said. “I think it was just a show of power.” Clarke said the East Vancouver store is the sole retail operation in an otherwise residential neighbourhood, and it has drawn attention from residents. He said he’s had no reaction from neighbours to his Nicol Street store, and supports marijuana regulations now used in Vancouver and Victoria. “Hopefully Nanaimo will follow suit with Victoria,” he said. “Just tell us what the bylaws are, tell us what to do so we can operate our businesses the most professional way possible.” Darrell.Bellaart@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Saviours line up for Departure Bay School rescue ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo ďŹ lm industry says city left on cutting room oor DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Disney Studios recently wrapped up shooting for the TV series Spooksville in the Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo’s Jacquie Kaese says Nanaimo is missing out getting its share of the film-making pie. Kaese operates Spotlight Academy, which has turned out such successful actors as Cameron Bright. She played a ghost in Spooksville. The series may get picked up for broadcast by the Internet streaming service Netflix. If it does, it would mean more film industry jobs, which she said could go to Nanaimo. Nanaimo location inquiries go through the Vancouver Island North Film Commission —
INFilm, in Campbell River. INFilm is good at what it does, Kaese said, but Nanaimo needs an active film office. “We missed the boat,� Kaese said. “We had the opportunity 10 years ago, when we had a film office.� Kaese said Nanaimo should encourage Hollywood producers with a film office and infrastructure. “In Duncan they turned their curling rink into a sound stage, and the past two years Disney (Studios) has brought feature films. Some of the filming took place in Victoria, and they used the curling rink as a sound stage.� She said much of the filming for Spooksville happened in and around Duncan, employing
hundreds of extras for up to six week, and “Chemainus was as close as they got to Nanaimo.� INFilm and the Vancouver Island South Film Commission both help to attract the industry to the Island, but “we need a film office here,� Kaese said. “We need someone in place that is going to work with the film commissioners to encourage us to find somewhere like the Madill Building — what a fantastic sound stage that would be, and it takes investors.� Nanaimo Economic Development Corp. works with film commissions and investors to promote the industry, said Mayor Bill McKay. “They brought two or three feature films, including Superman and Godzilla,� McKay said.
NEDC chairman Andre Sullivan said INFilm can do “a better job of selling� than NEDC staff members. Sullivan said NEDC is talking to a Calgary investment firm interested in providing seed money for film-making in Nanaimo. For now, he said taxpayers are better served if NEDC refers all inquiries for local locations to INFilm. “It’s the chicken and egg debate,� Sullivan said. “Do you put money up front or do you wait? I generally like to err on the side of not putting my money up front.� Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

A new program aims to increase recycling rates in the downtown and in Nanaimo parks. The city has so far installed 15 recycling bins exclusively for beverage containers, including cans and bottles. It plans on adding 35 more in the coming weeks to municipal parks. The change is a joint effort between the city and Encorp Pacific, a federally incorporated not-for-profit stewardship corporation that runs the Return-It program in B.C. The city is one of the first in the province to partner with the Encorp to install the blue bins, said Charlotte Davis, manager of
sanitation, recycling and public works at the city. Davis said that pop, juice and water containers end up in garbage bins. Residents already go through the bins to find the containers, which they then take depots to collect the deposits. But the new bins will make that process easier, Davis said, adding the city is counting on bottle and can collectors to continuously empty the containers. “What we’re doing now is providing a safer, cleaner way for that to happen,� she said. “It’s about making sure we recycle as much as possible.� ACTIVITY GUIDE ARRIVES The city’s fall and winter activ-
ity guide will be online next Tuesday, with a printed copy set to be available on that Saturday (Aug. 22). The programming covers a lot of ground, including prenatal yoga, cheese making and a rookie boot camp. BUDGET AMENDMENT Council is set to vote Monday on a budget amendment bylaw to allow $4.75 million in additional spending to be funded using surplus funds in the city’s capital reserves. An accompanying city report says the majority of the spending is $4.2 million to fund the construction of an alternate spillway for the lower Colliery dam in Harewood.

Parents at Departure Bay Elementary School are ready to fight for the future of the facility. Chelsea Slobodan, who has four children attending the school and is a member of the SAVE Departure Bay Eco School parent organization, said the parents are very concerned about the possibility that the school will be closed at the end of the upcoming school year. The closure had been scheduled as part of the recently rejected facilities plan for the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district. A new facilities plan is expected to be tabled in September and Slobodan said the school’s parents are determined to do all they can to get their school off the chopping block. She said a delegation that she will lead will speak about their concerns to the school board at its meeting on Sept. 2. “Our school only recently received approval from the board for charter school status to become an Eco Academy,� Slobodan said. “We expect enrolment at the school from this area and from out-of-catchment will increase significantly starting this year as a result. We were shocked when we learned in June that our school could be closed as early as the end of the upcoming school year.� Departure Bay school’s academy is geared toward providing students with knowledge of their place in the environment. With the wealth of parks, beaches and wooded areas situated close to the school, it was considered an ideal spot to establish an eco-academy, and the school has received support for its efforts from David Suzuki and child entertainer Raffi. Slobodan said parents and students from Departure Bay school will join representatives from Rutherford Elementary School, — also set for closure in June in the rejected facilities plan — at a rally at the school district administration office, starting at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 24. Steve Rae, chairman of the school board, said trustees don’t want to close any schools, but the district has to balance its annual budgets while facing continuing declining enrolment. “But we certainly understand where they are coming from and we want them to have the opportunity to be heard,� he said. “We encourage as many people as possible to stand up and air their concerns before any final decisions regarding school closures are to be made.� Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Courtenay man saves girls from river tragedy SCOTT STANFIELD COMOX VALLEY RECORD
The unthinkable might have happened had Andrew Payne not been in the right place at the right time. On Aug. 7, the 32-year-old Courtenay man jumped into rapids on the Puntledge River and saved two young girls who had slipped into the water. “If they weren’t exactly where they were, there would have been no chance,” said Payne, a retired member of the military who considers himself a “river rat.” He and two friends, Cole Howey and Steve Tobacca, were at the falls but had separated. Tobacca was with his daughter Austin, 11, and her younger friend Jaydyn. They were near the part of the river known as the grotto. “It’s pretty dangerous,” Payne said. “Water funnels in from the top and it stirs inside like a washing machine. It’s undertow and it’ll shoot you out the bottom, if you’re lucky.” He says Tobacca and the girls were walking across the river when one of the girls slipped. Both girls were sucked into the top hole of the grotto. “Nobody goes in there because it’s so dangerous,” Payne said. “It’s like a hole in the rocks underneath.” A limping Tobacca — who Payne says had tried to rescue the girls but was sucked out at the bottom of the river — was screaming that they were still inside. “They had been underwater (chest level) about five minutes,” said Payne, who dove under-

neath the current and came up underneath the rocks. When he reached an air pocket, the girls were holding each other and screaming. They were huddled in a spot the size of a small car tire. “That’s the only thing that saved them. All around them, it’s just undertow with water shooting in.” Payne managed to reach the girls on his second attempt. The back of the Jaydyn’s head was split open. Bear-hugging Payne, she took a breath at his count of three. Then they went underneath the water, and back up and under the falls. Payne managed to hold onto a rock, and walked part way across the rapids while holding Jaydyn. Then he jumped out of the waterfalls and handed her to Howey, who was halfway in the water.
Payne jumped in a second time to reach Austin, who was crying. He got her on his chest and conducted the same exit manoeuvre. “We both got sucked into the undertow. She held her breath, and the current sucked us right out and spit us out down the falls.” He passed Austin to Howey, who handed the youngster to others who had gathered. “It’s crazy. For a young child, I can’t imagine what they went through,” Payne said. “It was the best case scenario. Things couldn’t have gone any better.” “It doesn’t get any closer than that,” Howey added. “It was the best of a bad situation.” An exhausted Payne threw up when the ordeal was over. Jaydyn wound up with a couple stitches in the back of her head. But other than some scrapes and bruising, the girls are fine.

A two-year-old Qualicum Beach girl is expected to make a full recovery after being run over by a vehicle Aug. 7, according to police. Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said the girl returned home Tuesday from B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, where she was airlifted. Foreman said the girl sustained a concussion from the accident and received stitches at the hospital. Police were called to a home along Widgeon Road in Qualicum Beach after a call that a family friend had run over a young girl. “It’s not a criminal investigation of any nature,” confirmed Foreman. “It was a complete accident.”
A man used a large knife to rob the Terminal Avenue 7-Eleven store Thursday at approximately 2:40 a.m. Police said the Northfield Esso was then robbed at 10:52 p.m. In that case, a man entered the store, demanded money, and left on foot with cash. Police service dogs failed to track the man. The suspect is described as a white male, slender, athletic build, 19-35 years, 5’8” and wore a light grey hoodie, dark pants, a black baseball cap with an orange brim, and a grey wig. He also wore a red Hurley t-shirt, baggy grey pants and dark shoes with white laces. Send tips to Nanaimo RCMP, 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477

Duffy trial reveals ethics deficit inside PMO
W
hen Nigel Wright, former chief of staff for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, testified in court this week, he didn’t leave a smoking gun at the feet of his former boss. The London businessman was a prosecution witness at the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy, charged with 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery related to his Senate expense claims. But the 426 pages of emails that Mr. Wright and his staff generated in their attempts to whitewash the Duffy affair before it blew into a scandal tell a sorry story. They reveal a Prime Minister’s Office intent on managing the Senate Conservative leadership and misleading Canadians about Mr. Duffy’s highly publicized repayment of money he got
from controversial and allegedly illegal expense claims. Mr. Wright reaffirmed an earlier statement to RCMP that although he told Mr. Harper that Mr. Duffy would repay questionable expenses, he didn’t tell the PM that he would personally give the embattled P.E.I. senator more than $90,000 to do so. Mr. Wright testified that his email indicating “we are good to go from the PM” involved discussions with Mr. Harper about how the office would handle the news of Mr. Duffy’s repayment and “media lines.” In Parliament, the Opposition has demanded to know exactly what Mr. Harper meant by the “good to go” comment. Mr. Harper has said he knew nothing about Nigel Wright’s $90,000 cheque and only knew that Mr. Duffy was to repay the money.
However, Mr. Harper has indicated both that Mr. Wright resigned and was dismissed. The truth of the matter is yet to be revealed. The emails show that the PMO was not above interfering with reports and misleading the public in its attempts to rehabilitate the unrepentant and, for them, frustratingly forthcoming Mr. Duffy. The PMO arranged for Mr. Duffy to say he was personally repaying the expenses, even though he wasn’t. The PMO was also controlling the Conservative Senate leadership on the issue, and Mr. Harper’s suggestions figured in heavy edits from his office on a Senate audit subcommittee report on the affair. Mr. Wright, through Sen. Irving Gerstein, was trying to get an
auditor on the external Deloitte Senate audit to agree to the PMO’s view on wording around the status of Mr. Duffy’s Kanata home and to accept his $90,000 repayment as reason to conclude the audit. “Senator Gerstein...agrees with our understanding and his Deloitte contact agrees,” read one staffer’s email to Wright and others. “The stage we’re at now is waiting for the Senator’s contact to get the actual Deloitte auditor on the file to agree. The Senator will call back once we have Deloitte locked in.” However, the Deloitte auditor clearly said in his report that Mr. Duffy failed to meet Senate requirements for claiming his P.E.I. home as a primary residence and that Mr. Duffy failed to give him requested information.
The emails paint a picture of a PMO that is far more intent on covering up controversy and potential wrongdoing than in seeing justice done and ensuring that senators, many appointed by the Conservatives, are not taking public money under false or questionable pretences. It is early days in this election campaign. But it is voters who may ultimately decide, on the basis of evidence from the Duffy trial, whether Mr. Harper and his staff can be trusted to do their jobs in the best interests of the Canadian public and the nation.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Lack of transparency in council’s dam decision At Monday night’s Committee of the Whole meeting, Nanaimo council voted to forgo the rules of money management which are meant to ensure public and transparent use of city funds. Accordingly, in the spillway debacle we will not have a public bidding process. We will pick the “qualified contractors” (apparently we know that there are four — all local) and we will enter into a “cost-plus” contract which places the full onus of all project costs on the city and its taxpayers. The reasons for such precipitous and fiscally risky actions are laid at the feet of the B.C. Comptroller of Water. This is to an extent true. However, if it is to be laid at the feet of council — a collection of well-meaning amateurs in the city management business — how much more should it be set on the doorstep of our very well paid and professional senior staff? In an in-camera meeting on Oct. 22, 2012, a report — anchored more in supposition than in fact about the “Chase River Dams” — council was presented with three recommendations: Rebuilding the dams, rehabilitating the dams (not recommended) and removing the
dams (recommended). It will be noticed that none of these recommendations included gathering evidence of the true structure of the dam and how it might react in an earthquake let alone the hydrologic stress which might someday impinge upon it. This entire exercise in costly futility rests on the city administration’s failure to study before acting and the comptroller’s determination to see the city brought to heel. And now our financial protections are removed as well. This has been, and continues to be, a shameful stain on Nanaimo. Ron Bolin Nanaimo
Council decision on dams should anger taxpayers It is time for you, yes you, to stand up and get mad at a city which is ripping every single dollar from you for bogus projects. Councillors Wendy Pratt, Diane Brennan, Ian Thorpe, Jerry Hong, Bill Yoachim and Bill Bestwick, with Mayor Bill McKay, voted to spend what could be up to $4.6 million to build an auxiliary spillway for the Colliery dams. No one knows what the end price
will be as the seven approved a rare cost-plus contract. The normal city tendering process in place to watch spending was thrown out the window. C.L. Cavanagh Nanaimo
Duffy trial raises ghost of Mulroney scandal In 2007 Prime Minister Stephen Harper ordered his Conservative caucus to have no further dealings with former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. This followed testimony given to the ethics committee into Karlheinz Schreiber and the former PM in what was known as the Airbus Affair. Depending on whose testimony you believe, envelopes containing either $225,0000 or $300,000 in cash were accepted by Mulroney from the German businessman representing Airbus. Fast forward eight years to the trial of hand-picked Senator Mike Duffy. Canadians have waited with bated breath for the star witness to answer questions concerning an email that said: “We are good to go from the PM.” The answer finally came from the ever-smiling Nigel Wright.
He quoted scriptures during his cross-examination, apparently to justify “doing a good deed” of cutting a personal $90,000 cheque for Senator Duffy. According to Mr. Wright’s sworn testimony, “Good To Go” referred to the prime minister agreeing to the “media line” that had been concocted by his team in the PMO. It declared that the errant Senator Duffy had repaid his own overblown expenses, intending the whole sordid story to end there. According to court testimony the devious strategy backfired, as the media line was a deception. The more Tory scandals change, the more they stay the same. Sir Walter Scott’s words are ringing through the Ottawa courtroom, and should be ringing in voters ears on Oct. 19 : “Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive !” Bernie Smith Parksville Letters must include your hometown and a daytime phone number for verification purposes only.

Fire outside Osoyoos Warning issued about raw shellfish forces evacuations THE CANADIAN PRESS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Buildings have been destroyed in an aggressive wildfire that has grown exponentially since it was sparked Thursday in British Columbia’s Boundary region. B.C.’s Minister of Forests Steve Thomson said officials haven’t confirmed what kind or how many structures have been lost because smoke continues to billow from the Rock Creek fire, about 50 kilometres east of Osoyoos. “It goes back to public safety. There is a very active fire and in terms of getting in and doing the full assessment, they have to keep that in mind as well,” he said. The fire, just five kilometres from the Canada-U.S border, forced residents from nearly 300 properties. Another 200 campers at the Kettle River Provincial Park were forced to run without their belongings as highways 3 and 33 were cut off just north of Rock Creek. Rob and Melanie Hardy were chased from their home in Westbridge, north of Rock Creek, when the flames began to encroach. “Literally, the tree tops were

VANCOUVER — The number of illnesses connected to eating raw shellfish has climbed to 67 cases in B.C. and Alberta. The Public Health Agency of Canada says 48 cases have been recorded in B.C., and 19 in Alberta since June 1.
The agency issued a public health notice Friday, saying it is collaborating with provincial and federal health officials, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to investigate the outbreak. The Vancouver Coastal Health authority issued an order earlier

bursting like bombs and falling down on the top of our house,” Rob Hardy told media outside the Salvation Army Kelowna Community Church, which has been turned into an evacuation centre. “The wind was just carrying (the embers) for miles and miles. I’ve never experienced, I’ve never seen anything like it.” Fire information officer Fanny Bernard said many vehicles, trailers and RVs were left behind. There are currently about 168 fires burning across the province, including the 25-square kilometre Rock Creek fire, said Provincial Fire Information Officer Kevin Skrepnek. The fire appears to be human caused, he said. The province has spent $198 million fighting wildfires, nearly three times the annual budget of $63 million.

Low oil prices hit West hard THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Western Canada is being hit with the twin pains of the lowest prices for heavy crude in years alongside a significant spike in gasoline prices following a shutdown at a major U.S. refinery.
Much of Canada west of Ontario saw gasoline prices jump 15 cents a litre this week for one of the biggest increases on record, says Dan McTeague, a senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com. “The price jump was historical,� said McTeague. “The last time we saw a
jump of that magnitude was 12 cents around September 2008.� McKnight said a decrease in the number of refineries in recent years has made gas prices more volatile. He said that with 143 refineries running today, the U.S. has lost close to half of them in the past decade.

Nigel Wright image attacked by lawyer Duffy’s counsel pulls no punches in questioning KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Mike Duffy’s defence lawyer ripped into Nigel Wright’s choir-boy image Friday as he used his cross-examination of Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff to slowly pick apart the bribery charge against his client. Donald Bayne pulled no punches during his questioning, trying to discredit Wright by suggesting he and others in the Prime Minister’s Office had strong-armed Duffy into a expense-repayment scheme the senator did not support. The confrontation made for a day of dramatic, often testy exchanges between the pair as the proceedings continued what appears to be a steady march back
towards the prime minister’s doorstep. “Why did you use the language, ’We had to force him to do this,’ rather than saying, ’I was persistent?�’ Bayne asked about statements Wright gave to police about the effort to get Duffy to repay his disallowed expense claims. “Because I had to apply a lot of pressure,� Wright replied. “I had be persistent.� “You said, ’We basically had to force him,�’ Bayne said. “I’m telling you the connotation I was intending to convey with those words,� Wright replied. To which Bayne said, “You know what, sir, you are a great champion — when it suits you — of common-sense rationale.� Later, Bayne cited an
email in which Wright, describing the need to contain the escalating Duffy scandal, called it “Chinese water torture,� and asked him what he meant. “What I call Chinese water torture is the dribbling out of new facts,� Wright replied. Sen. Duffy faces 31 charges including fraud, bribery and breach of trust, including three which relate to Wright’s famous $90,000 payment to Duffy to cover the cost of repaying his disallowed expenses. Bribery is one of the most serious offences in the Criminal Code, as it carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. The Crown needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Duffy accepted the payment with corrupt intent.

Clare wins national pole vaulting title DAILY NEWS
At the end of last year’s track and field season, Nanaimo youth pole vaulter Jason Clare set himself a goal for the 2015 season: To meet the standard for the IAAF World Youth Championships: 4.65 metres. He did so, and has had an outstanding season, competing at world championships and at junior nationals, winning the B.C. youth championship, and has now capped it off this past weekend by winning gold at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships held in Ste. Therese, Que. In additional to Clare’s national championship, there were also several silver medals won by local athletes. Madison Heisterman is a double medalist, winning silver in the U16 girls 1,200m run and bronze in the U16 Girls 800-metre run. Marina Andersen took silver in the U16 Girls 1,500m race
walk. As well, Jessica Katzberg won silver in the U16 girls hammer throw and an eighth place finish in the U16 girls discus event. Rachel Jerome earned the bronze medal in the U18 women’s long jump. Alyssa Mousseau came fourth in the U18 women’s 800m run; Maya Asselin-Debelic was sixth in the U18 women’s pole vault; and Isaac Sandri was seventh in the U18 men’s javelin. Mousseau and Heisterman were also on the U18 women’s 4x400-metre B.C. team that placed fifth. Finally, former NTFC athlete Andrew De Groot, who now trains with Trinity Western University, took the gold medal for Team B.C. in the men’s 400m dash at the Western Canada Summer Games, taking place in Wood Buffalo, Alta.

If the Vancouver Island Raiders have learned anything in recent years, it’s that the Cullen Cup is not won in the regular season. The regular season is about getting better each week, and despite a 27-3 loss at home last Saturday to the still-undefeated Okanagan Sun, Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman thinks his team is an improved one after they barely scraped by with a win against the Westshore Rebels on Aug. 1. “I think we played much better than we did against Westshore,” Erdman said. “I don’t think it’s even close. It’s hard to say because our offence never got on track, but I think our defence played much better.” The Raiders (2-1) host a Kamloops Broncos team with an identical record today at Caledonia Park at 4 p.m. Behind the Sun, the Raiders, Broncos and Langley Rams hold down the six-team league’s final three playoff spots with two wins and a loss. The Rebels and Valley Huskers are still searching for a win — and the only win those teams ever find this year will likely come from one another. The Raiders have beaten the Rams, the Rams beat the Broncos, and the Broncos have only beat the worst two teams in the league. All this means in the playoff picture is likely to remain very similar for the remainder of

the season, with only home-field advantage to play for. Against Kamloops, the Raiders know they are playing a team that hasn’t beaten an upper-tier team, but one has the offensive weapons to compete with anyone in the conference. “They’ve got a great quarterback, they love to put it up, and they’re another good football team that’s on the rise,” Erdman said. “We’re going to have to come with the same effort that we showed (last week), hopefully with a different result. “Defensively, we’ve got to play the exact same way. Offensively . . . we’ll tweak a couple things and we’ll come out better.” After sitting out of practice for two weeks and missing the Westshore game, Raiders quarterback Liam O’Brien, the reigning All-Canadian, will be expected to provide more in the passing game as he returns to health.
The Raiders defence will also continue to improve with the addition of rookie linebacker Isaiah Stevens, who had a game-high nine tackles against Okanagan. Middle linebacker Dexter Shea was happy with how the defence played against the Sun and expects more of the same when they face the Broncos today. “I don’t think we need to do anything different,” he said. “I think we just need to play our game. That’s what it’s going to be like all year. As long as we play our game and stay true to ourselves, I think we’ll beat any team.” Today’s game between the Raiders and Broncos is the first of a home-and-home series that shifts to Kamloops next week.

Lions hope to build off recent win
Day, Jones tie for lead at PGA tourney
THE CANADIAN PRESS
HAMILTON — A week after overcoming the CFL’s top-ranked defence, Travis Lulay and the B.C. Lions face another tough assignment. Lulay leads the Lions’ offence into Hamilton tonight to face a Tiger-Cats squad looking to remain unbeaten at Tim Hortons Field. The daunting matchup comes after Lulay’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Harris rallied B.C. to a 26-23 win over Edmonton on Aug. 6. “Tough task,� Lulay said of facing the Ticats. “They’ve been really impressive at home. “I think they’ve really embraced the new field and all that.� Hamilton (4-2) is 9-0 at Tim Hortons Field, having allowed just 126 points there — an average of 14 per game. The Ticats have outscored opponents 242-126, including 77-13 in the fourth quarter. Hamilton’s defence was especially tenacious in last weekend’s 38-8 home win over Winnipeg. It had seven sacks and defensive back Emanuel Davis

celebrated his 26th birthday by returning two interceptions for touchdowns. “The way we responded to Edmonton, they’re probably the best defence in the league,� said Harris. “Hamilton, if they’re not the best, are a close second. “The doughnut box, there’s something to be said about that, the fact they’re undefeated.

Daily News.
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The second round of the PGA Championship offered a little bit of everything Friday. Except a conclusion. On one side of the golf course, Jordan Spieth was piling up enough birdies to momentarily tie for the lead at Whistling Straits. On the other side with far less attention, Hiroshi Iwata ran off five birdies and an eagle and tied the major championship record with a 63. Dustin Johnson was losing ground in the rough and in the bunkers, falling out of the lead with three bogeys in a four-hole stretch. John Daly lost his cool and then lost a 6-iron when he heaved it in Lake Michigan. Jason Day ran off three straight birdies and was tied for the lead with Matt Jones at 9-under par when players were taken off the course. The storm was severe enough to topple the main scoreboard at the entrance and rip flags off the poles atop some of the grandstands. The round was to resume at 7 a.m.

team to give them their first loss in that building.� Hamilton took control immediately against Winnipeg, storming out to 21-0 lead midway through the opening quarter en route to a commanding 31-0 half-time advantage. “Winnipeg didn’t give themselves a great chance to win that football game,� Lulay said. “They turned the ball over early, they
had a couple big gaffes on special teams back to back and you blinked and it was 21-0. “When you’re playing a team that’s playing that confident you can’t do that. You have to withstand that initial surge. You know they’re going to push out of the gate hot. You have to find a way to be good early, then settle into the game and just go play football.� But linebacker Erik Harris said Hamilton isn’t resting on its laurels following last weekend’s one-sided win. “We’re just working on mistakes we had last week, just fixing those and finishing a whole game,� Harris said. “I think we came out pretty flat the second half so it’s just being consistent and playing all four quarters.� Andrew Harris was a pivotal figure for B.C. (3-3) against Edmonton. He ran for 118 yards rushing on 20 carries with a TD and added four catches for 57 yards and a touchdown. The five-foot-11, 213-pound Harris, a native of Winnipeg, has a CFL-high 519 yards rushing and four touchdowns and has cracked the 100-yard rushing barrier his last two games. Harris also has 26 catches for 288 yards and two TDs.

SOLUTION: A GOOD DROP TO DRINK
CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT
eclarer won in hand to follow with ace and another heart and could claim twelve tricks when both defenders followed suit, N-S +480. South’s resolve to pass four hearts was mistaken as was evidenced by the result. Two aces, the king of spades, a singleton and a five-card heart suit merited a launch into Blackwood to check for controls. North’s reply of five spades would reveal two controls and the heart queen causing South to advance to a small slam. Success was merely dependent upon bringing home the trump suit for one loser. A 4-0 trump division would doom the contract but the play of ace and another heart would pick up the suit whenever West held three hearts. Declarer could also avoid the loss of two trump tricks when West owned a singleton jack or ten by beginning with a low heart. However, this line of play would not be adopted. 6NT also comes home even though there are only eleven tricks on top. The queen-jack of clubs are doubleton where South’s ten will furnish a twelfth winner. In fact it would not matter if West owned a third club because he would be squeezed in the minors by the run of the major suit winners. South’s decision to pass the triple raise was too conservative and assured this pair of a poor matchpoint award. Author: Dave Willis - visit his website at www.insidebridge.ca

KELLY ANNE FINDLAY (NEE HARDY) December 30, 1964 – August 2, 2015 It is with deep sadness and absolute respect that we announce the passing of our dearest Kelly, after more than a decade of courageously battling cancer. Although Kelly was highly regarded in her professional role as Vice President Finance, for Imperial Metals; her pride and joy were her children whom she always placed as the first priority in her life. Kelly threw her amazing energy into supporting her daughter Julia’s interests in dance and the performing arts and her son Robbie’s many sporting activities. Energy was a defining trait for Kelly, and she dedicated herself to embracing the present and living every moment with laughter and a perpetual curiosity for absolutely everything. Born in Burnaby, to Patricia and Bill Hardy, Kelly moved to Nanaimo as a child where she established herself as an excellent student and an adventurous, witty, fun loving, exuberant force of nature. Kelly moved to North Vancouver, to raise her family and pursue her career. An inspiring woman of many talents, Kelly was recognized and nominated for the YWCA Vancouver Women of Distinction, in 2011. Kelly loved life, and lived every moment to the fullest – always encouraging her children and friends to live the same way. Kelly is survived by her wonderful children Julia and Robbie, her father Bill (Elizabeth), her brother Bill Jr. (Carolyn), her many Uncles, Aunts, Nieces and Nephews, and her enormous circle of friends. Kelly was predeceased by her mother Pat. A celebration of Kelly’s amazing life will be held August 20th, 2015, at 1:00pm, at Hart House, 6664 Deer Lake Avenue, Burnaby, BC. Donations in Kelly’s honour can be made to YWCA Metro Vancouver at www.ywcavan.org.
