City woman victimized by thieves Box of treasured memorabilia from deceased husband stolen during daytime break-in JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
A Nanaimo woman has asked for the community’s support in locating a box of memorabilia of her deceased husband that was stolen from her home over the weekend. It wasn’t until Sunday afternoon when Betty Shaw went to open a window above her kitchen sink, that she noticed something was amiss. The window’s screen was gone and a blurry handprint
was smudged across the glass. Later, she discovered that the jewelry boxes in her bedroom had seemed jumbled. She checked around the house and soon realized the gray SentrySafe fireproof lockbox she had placed on a table in her storage room was missing. “It was not for anything of value, it was for holding papers that were memorabilia from my deceased husband. I realize now I should never have locked it.” said
Shaw, who thinks that whoever stole it may have thought it contained something valuable. The only person it had value for was Shaw and her two children, who are now grown but were only five and seven years old when their father, Blaine, died in a helicopter accident in 1982. “There were photo albums, and letters. He was a pilot, so they would send him letters thanking him for the wonderful trip,”said Shaw. “It was Queen Charlotte
helicopters. He worked for Frank Beban logging. He was a fixedwing pilot for many years and then he decided he wanted to be a helicopter pilot.” Shaw hopes the thief or anyone who might find the box will return it to the RCMP so she can have the photos, cards, letters and writings back. The theft marks a trend of break-andenters that have been high all month but has spiked in the last week, say police.
“There’s been all sorts of breakand-enters this week, it’s been crazy,” said Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong of the Nanaimo RCMP. “We’re telling people to keep their doors and windows locked and if they have alarms, to keep them activated.” Police believe it may be the same two or three groups responsible for the break-ins.

ELECTION 2015
Mulcair promises ďŹ reďŹ ghter funds NDP leader speaks in Nanaimo, would restore $7M in funding for Joint Emergency Preparedness Program ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Tom Mulcair promised to help provinces deal more effectively with wildfires, floods and other natural disasters, if an NDP government is elected this fall. Flanked by local firefighters and a number of Vancouver Island NDP candidates during a visit to Nanaimo on Tuesday, the party leader said an NDP government would improve training, co-ordination and disaster relief programs. Mulcair said he would restore $7 million in annual funding for the now-defunct Joint Emergency Preparedness Program, which saw the federal, provincial and territorial governments co-operate on emergency preparedness and infrastructure protection. The program was cut in 2012 as a deficit-reduction measure.
Mulcair also said he would also invest $2 million annually in training programs previously provided by the Emergency Preparedness College, and work with the provinces to strengthen the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program. In the event of a large-scale natural disaster, the government provides financial assistance to provincial and territorial governments through the DFAA, which is administered by Public Safety Canada. “It’s no secret that government resources and first responders are being stretched to the limit this summer, but it’s going to take more than a Conservative photo-op to protect Canadian communities,� he said at a press conference held at Benson Creek Falls Regional Park. “Stephen Harper has left Can-
adians at risk by cutting training and emergency preparedness programs. We have the plan to undo the damage that has been done.� Mulcair also responded to questions about the possibility of vote-splitting between the Green Party and the NDP in Island ridings on Oct. 19. He said the NDP has “strong candidates� on the Island that he has confidence in. “We’re all about change and we have a clear plan for the country,� he said. “We have plans that will supply well-paying jobs in Canada, one million new child care spaces across the country and provide sustainable environmental practices.� Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Go for some wild play Imagine dangling your toes over the edge of a 150-foot bridge and muster up enough courage to jump. People face that challenge on a daily basis at the Nanaimo WildPlay Element Park. Bungee jumping is just one of the aerial activities available at the park. The aerial adventure, Monkido, is a tree-to-tree obstacle course. There’s a kids course, for ages 5 to 12 and the classic course for ages 7 and older. The third course, which is the most extreme, is 60 feet in the air. You will have to use bridges, tunnels, nets, and ropes to get from tree-to-tree. At the end of the obstacle course there’s the What’s To Fear (WTF) jump. The WTF jump is a 40-foot free

fall that’s similar to a bungee jump. Then there’s the real bungee jump. A 150-foot drop above the Nanaimo River. From the bungee jumping platform there’s also the Primal Swing. “It’s my favourite thing in the entire park,� said WildPlay employee Katelynne Skwarczynski. The swing can be done solo or with a friend, you’re harnessed in and will swing like a pendulum reaching 140 km/h. You can often see people zip
lining underneath the bungee jump bridge. The Dragonfly Zip Line is a two stage zip. People first cross the Nanaimo River by a 300-foot zip line and then zip another 600 feet along the river and back to the park.
The Little Town That Did Chemainus may not spring immediately to mind as a daytrip destination. But a quick glimpse at what the area has to offer should be a reason to think twice. Those of the peckish persua-
sion can visit a array of artisan bakeries, cafes, pubs and restaurants. That is to say nothing of the handful of close-by wineries and spirit makers. Examples include the Godfrey-Bronell Vineyards, the Merridale Ciderworks and the Blue Grouse Estate Winery. The small town’s Chemainus Theatre, which offers live dinner theatre, boasts an excellent reputation and is a top draw for visitors. The area is also surrounded by some of the better mountain biking and hiking trails on the

Island, as well as diving, fishing and sailing opportunities. Chemainus is also known for its large collection of mural paintings. Originally launched as an economic revitalization project to save the struggling town in the early ’80s, the Chemainus mural project has since drawn millions of visitors and inspired similar projects elsewhere.

Mayor made wise decision regarding trip
N
oted 20th-century philosopher Kenny Rogers once said: “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away...” You probably know the rest. Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay was seemingly channelling his inner Kenny Rogers this week when he dropped his bid to travel to China next month to promote the city to investors. Or at least put the matter on hold. The item was slated for discussion at council Monday night, but McKay asked that the item be struck from the agenda near the outset of the meeting. That was a wise move. While the mayor didn’t offer any explanation during the meeting, he said later he thought council needed more explanation on why
the trip was necessary. “I wasn’t getting a lot of positive feedback . . .” McKay said. “I just felt it was best to pull it off (the agenda). I’d rather pull it off then see it go down. We’re being very cautious about our messaging right now, and it needs to be positive with investment.” Translation: There was no way he was getting the plan past his occasionally dysfunctional council, plus members of the public would likely have chafed at the expense. The potential trip, estimated to cost $11,000 for travel and food costs, was made public last week. McKay was to have been joined by representatives from the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. He said the NEDC approached him about making the
trip. Now normally, you wouldn’t make decisions based on public outcry over $11,000. But given the longtime frustration among taxpayers for the ill-fated downtown hotel project (which fell through recently after Chinese investors pulled the plug), plus a recent trip to the country by NEDC officials and some $65,000 of taxpayer cash already spent promoting the Nanaimo region, it probably wasn’t the right time. As the Daily News reported, one of the stated reasons for the trip was to meet with investors behind the proposed Hilton Hotel development on Front Street, overlooking Maffeo-Sutton Park. Are there now problems with that as well? McKay also stressed the cultural importance of face-to-face meetings in the Chinese business
culture. Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO Kim Smythe said cancelling the trip was a missed opportunity, adding the mayor’s presence on a business trip would strengthen the city’s bargaining position. Having the city’s top official on such a mission undoubtedly would curry some favour. But at this point, McKay correctly judged the temperature of his constituents. For now, it would appear the council has plenty of work to do getting its own affairs in order. It’s a little sad to see the seemingly petty infighting and unnecessary time and money spent on things like ‘codes of conduct’ and facilitators designed simply to have a group of adults get along. All of the people on council are educated, talented professional
people. They were elected in large part due to their communication skills. How is it possible that things have been reduced to whining over who will sign some vanilla paper saying they will play nice? It’s possible to have heated debate without disrespect. Having differing points of view is an integral part of the democratic process. Liking each other is not a requirement. The goal, however, should be the same. It’s important to have our elected officials travel to represent us on trips that could have huge impacts on the community and its economy. That our mayor can’t even bring such a plan forward because the climate is seemingly so toxic he knows it won’t pass is a shame. The right decision? For now, sure. But still a shame.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Respectful behaviour on council has its value Regarding council members signing the code of conduct document: I sat in on the governance meetings where the code of conduct document was discussed. I too believe in the value of respectful behaviour. However I see this document as a cover up for a more serious problem. In my opinion, this council is like a dysfunctional family and the ‘troublemakers’ are the individuals who are letting us know that things are not as pretty as some would like us to believe. No amount of politeness and respectful behaviour can cover up the fact that we have a mayor and staff who are not abiding by the rules, and yes those rules were also covered in the governance meetings. It was very clearly stated that the majority of council decisions must be supported by all of council and this was not done on several occasions. I applaud anyone who speaks loudly and consistently against a system that supports this lack of democratic process. My hope is that the core problem will be addressed and not just pret-
tied up with good behaviour. Roblyn Hunter Nanaimo
Hard to ignore Trump’s presidential campaign While watching our own politicians roaming around the country seeking favour it is very difficult to ignore what is taking place politically to the south of us in the good old U.S.A. Is it possible that our next door neighbour is ready for a Messiah? It’s early in the game but, like him or not, it appears as though a sizeable number of the American people are showing distinct signs of taking “The Donald” seriously. (Wonder what is going through Warren Buffett’s mind?) Strictly as an outside observer and looking at the deck they’re now being dealt from, might it well be time for a Trump card? Graeme Roberts Brentwood Bay
Writer adds confusion to Colliery Dam issue C.L. Cavanagh adds confusion to
the dam issue. He fails to explain why council is forced to use cost plus and who is responsible. In February, the city received a letter from the province to choose an option to remediate the dams by March 27. In response, Coun. Fuller puts forward a motion ignoring the letter, passed by councillors Fuller, Kipp, Bestwick, Yoachim and Hong. March 27 passes and the city gets an order to choose an option and substantially complete construction by Oct. 15. Instead, the same majority tells staff to ask for a third option called overtopping, which is allowed by the province and we are given to June 22 and to be substantially completed Nov. 15. Instead of providing any plans council starts appeal and stay request despite advice of city solicitor. Council refuses to choose a remediation option, ignoring the order. On June 30, the temporary stay and the third option are denied. After four months of delays, the council majority are back to square one. On July 13, councillors Fuller, Kipp, Bestwick, Yoachim and Hong pass another motion ignoring the DSS order. When asked what sort of fines and penalties the city taxpayers
might expect, no one asked on council could give an accurate answer. Seven days later, after a closed-door meeting, council votes unanimously to choose the auxiliary spillway option something they should have done in February. Unfortunately, now we are out of time. Constant delays by motions passed by councillors Fuller, Kipp, Bestwick, Yoachim and Hong have forced the city to choose cost plus instead of tender because there is no time to go to tender. To add insult to injury, councillors Fuller and Kipp are being portrayed as the defenders of the taxpayers when their delays are the reason we have to pay more now for the work. This year marks the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland. In celebration, city council is having a tea party with Coun. Fuller pouring the tea.

BUSINESS NOTES News from the Island business community
Veterinary hospital ready for expansion Road show on tap Robert Barron Reporting
T
he Nanaimo Veterinary Hospital is planning a major expansion this fall. Dr. Brett Hayward, who has operated the facility since 1999, said the hospital has gotten busier over the years and now counts three other veterinarians among its staff. Hayward said the 1,700 square feet of space (at 4508 Wellington Rd.) he started with 17 years ago is not enough anymore. An additional 400 square feet will be added during the expansion project, expected to begin at the end of August and continue until Christmas. “We’ll remain open during the expansion project,” Hayward said. “All the work will be done at the back of the hospital so it won’t impact our operations.”
The Save On Foods location in Country Club Centre will host a travelling road show on Aug. 23 that will highlight the history of the Overwaitea Food Group, the store’s parent company. The group is celebrating 100 years in business this year. The exhibit area will showcase world-renowned retail innovations, the best and latest in technology, and the economic impact that the retailer has had in the communities it has served over the past 100 years. It will take place from noon to 4 p.m.

Nanaimo RCMP say the same person may be behind a third gas bar robbery in a week in central Nanaimo. A man walked into the Bowen Road Shell station with a knife Monday just before 3 p.m., pulled out a large knife and demanded money. He left the store with some cash and was last seen running northeast on Bowen. A police dog team lost the track near the area of Madsen Road and Bowen Road. RCMP consider the suspect to be the same man responsible for robberies to the Northfield Esso and Terminal Street 7-Eleven on Thursday. The suspect is described as white man, five foot 10 with an athletic build. He wore a dark hoodie and a mask. Anyone with information for investigators is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.

Council to ponder other uses for downtown site
Cost estimates for walkway project soar
Land was originally planned for a conference centre hotel
The City of Nanaimo expects to spend close to $1 million to upgrade the beachfront walkway in Departure Bay. The cost for the project was initially estimated at $714,000, but the estimate has since increased to $820,000. There is also the potential for increased costs depending on whether First Nations artifacts are found during excavation work to replace the existing beachfront walkway. The work will involve repaving the parking area and building a new seawall walkway, plus other improvements. Residents and visitors have complained of the steep grade of the area, and the project has been cited as a priority for the city. The area falls within a provincially-recognized archaeological site and was once the location of the Snuneymuxw winter village, where the Snuneymuxw First Nation lived in longhouses, the first buildings in the area. The city commissioned an archaeological assessment of the area and also consulted with SFN on the project, said Poul Rosen, senior manager of engineering for the city. Rosen said the city will have representatives from the First Nation as well as their own archaeologist on site during construction, but said the project could suffer a setback if it comes into conflict with artifacts in the ground. “We’ve modified the design to
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo council will look at alternative uses for the Gordon Street hotel site, after a project for the site was dropped by Chinese developer SSS Manhao. Council unanimously passed a motion from Coun. Bill Bestwick Monday to order a staff report on options and costs for measures the city could take to clean up the site. Council voted on July 20 to buy back the land for $565,000 from the developer, SSS Manhao, under an option to purchase agreement between the two parties. That came after a divided council voted 5-4 not to extend a deadline under the agreement by one year as requested by SSS Manhao. Some on council voiced frustration with a lack of building progress on the site as well as the appearance of the property, which has become overgrown with weeds. The lot is also surrounded by tattered tarp signs promoting the project as well as a chain-link fence. The report will bring back cost estimates on removing the fence and tarps, as well as paving the site so it can be made available for tour buses, RVs and paid parking. Coun. Jim Kipp said the property “is looking a little ragged,” adding: “It’s a space we could use and clean up and I think it’s appropriate at this time.”

Coun. Gord Fuller said he would aim to bring back a separate motion to put the property up for sale, something he said should happen “ASAP.” Fuller had proposed adding the sale of the property into Bestwick’s motion, but withdrew his request after Bestwick said he’d prefer if that question was dealt with in a separate motion. City manager Ted Swabey said that with the hotel deal defunct, a report on the future of the property would be a “good”
report to have. The site, officially located at 100 Gordon Street, has been designated as the site for a conference centre hotel for years. The city has offered a number of incentives to entice downtown hotel developers. However, an apparent willingness by some to sell or re-purpose the land could signal a coming shift in that policy.

mitigate the impact as much as we can,” Rosen said. But, he added, “It’s a little bit of an unknown.” How much difficulty — if any — the project runs into “depends on what we find,” Rosen said. There are also other factors that have contributed to the cost increase, such as higher-than-expected costs for lighting in the area and street furniture. After consulting with the Snuneymuxw, the city’s culture and heritage department also recommended including First Nations art in the area to mark the historic importance of the area, a city report says. The project is expected to go to tender in the next few weeks, Rosen said. Construction is expected to start in the fall and continue into December and possibly into the new year, he added.

Cigarette video yet to be found
Community to vote on homelessness funding
THE CANADIAN PRESS
ROCK CREEK — Days after a wildfire destroyed 30 homes in southeast British Columbia, rumoured video of a tossed cigarette that sparked the blaze hasn’t been found. The Forests Ministry said Tuesday that investigators have reviewed the nearest highway camera in Rock Creek, about two kilometres from the spot where the fire broke out. Ministry spokeswoman Vivian Thomas said a BC Wildfire Service investigator spoke to a resident who reported the existence of a video but no footage has been located. “No one has come forward with
B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Minister of Forests Steve Thomson.
a video related to how the Rock Creek fire was started,” Thomas said. She said anyone with information, photos or video should contact the wildfire service or the RCMP.
Fire information officer Mike McCulley said the video is “a rumour, as far as we can tell.” “There’s no video at this time. We have investigators working with the RCMP and they are actively pursuing any leads they can find so we can try to resolve this issue.” He said investigators have not determined that a cigarette sparked the 37-square kilometre blaze but it is likely human-caused. “That’s something that is unacceptable,” he said. “We need the public to pay really close attention to what they’re doing out there. “We have to have our resources available for lightning-caused
fires and you can see the tragedy that happens when preventable human-caused fires occur.” The Rock Creek blaze was sparked last Thursday just north of the junction of highways 3 and 33. An evacuation order remains for 137 homes, down from 333 last week, but the aggressive fire still has not been contained. Premier Christy Clark was asked about a possible video during a news conference Sunday outside an evacuation centre in nearby Midway. She said she didn’t know if any footage existed but if an individual is found to have caused the devastating blaze, they will face consequences.
A referendum for a tax to address homelessness appears to be on the horizon in the Comox Valley. Comox Valley Regional District directors unanimously approved a Nov. 28 date for a vote on whether to fund an action plan to address homelessness in the region. Pending voter approval, homeowners would pay about $6 on a $300,000 home. The service would provide up to $150,000 a year with funding available by March. The newly-formed Comox Valley Coalition to End Homelessness hopes to provide transitional housing, open a part-time drop-in centre for the homeless, create eight new permanent housing units and a youth housing fourplex.

Obama gives Sudan a ceasefire deadline CARA ANNA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The United States has begun talks at the United Nations to sanction South Sudan if its government doesn’t sign a peace deal with rebels within 15 days and all sides in the conflict don’t promptly implement a cease-fire, President Barack Obama’s national security adviser said Tuesday. South Sudan President Salva Kiir has “yet again squandered the opportunity to bring peace,” Susan Rice said in a White House statement. “The U.S. deplores this failure of leadership.” Kiir on Monday surprised the U.S. and others by refusing to sign a peace agreement with rebel forces despite a deadline set by the international community, saying he
needs another 15 days. Mediators said rebel leader Riek Machar signed the accord. Oil-rich South Sudan has been at war since December 2013, and multiple attempts at a peace agreement have failed. The ethnic character of the violence has alarmed observers, with ethnic Dinka followers of Kiir pitted against the Nuer of former vice-president Machar. Last month, a Human Rights Watch report said South Sudanese troops had committed war crimes in rebel-held areas, with one survivor describing how soldiers made her watch while they gang-raped her daughter and burned her alive. On Tuesday, a U.S. deputy ambassador to the U.N., David Pressman, called

the failure to sign the peace deal “outrageous” in a speech to the Security Council. Both the U.S. and Britain said the Security Council must act to pressure those preventing an end to the conflict that has killed thousands and forced more than a million to flee their homes. In her statement, Rice said the U.S. has “initiated consultations” at the U.N. “to sanction those who undermine the peace process, if an agreement is not signed by the government within 15 days and a ceasefire is not implemented promptly by all parties.” In July, after more than a year of warnings, the Security Council imposed its first sanctions on six generals for fuelling the fighting.

General Motors is adding 181,000 cars in the U.S. and Canada to a 2014 recall for headlights that can stop working. The company also will have to fix thousands of cars from the 2014 recall a second time because the original repairs could fail. The expansion covers the 2005 Buick LaCrosse, the 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix in the U.S., and the 2005 Buick Allure in Canada. A headlight module may not work in high temperatures under the hood. That can cause the lowbeam and daytime running lights to fail. The 2014 recall affected 316,357 vehicles from 2006 through 2009 including the LaCrosse, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender.

Fraud and theft charges laid in real estate scam
Americans sought after Jared expected to plead Trio missing after rain baby found locked in safe guilty to child porn charge sparks three landslides
Terror suspect faces new allegations in prison
A Calgary businessman is facing fraud and theft charges in a multi-million-dollar commercial real estate scam. The RCMP allege the head of Platinum Equities sold the Dominion Place building in Calgary for his own benefit, even though it was purchased with money from investors. Police further allege Srinivasan (Sharif) Chandran was providing false information to investors from 2005 to 2013 and diverted funds to other ventures. Chandran, who is 42, also faces a civil lawsuit filed by investors.
Police are looking for an American couple after staff at a Niagara Falls, Ont., hotel said they found a baby locked inside a room safe. Niagara Regional police say the baby’s parents alerted the hotel about the incident at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Police say a maintenance worker removed the crying baby from the safe. Officers say the parents were at the scene but they left the hotel before police arrived. There is no information about why the baby was locked in the safe.
A 21-year-old suburban Chicago man awaiting trial on terrorism charges faced new allegations Tuesday that he attacked a fellow inmate who his attorney says taunted him with a cartoon drawing of the Prophet Muhammad. On Tuesday, Adel Daoud told a judge he believes there is an elaborate conspiracy against him that includes plans for a trial where “the jurors are Freemasons hired by the judge.” Daoud faces terrorism charges for allegedly trying to set off a bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar in 2012.
An Indiana television station is reporting that Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is expected to plead guilty to child-pornography charges. The report on Fox 59 comes six weeks after authorities seized electronics and other items from Fogle’s home in Zionsville, an affluent Indianapolis suburb. Citing sources it did not identify, the station said Fogle would enter a plea Wednesday. It also said the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Indianapolis planned to hold a news conference Wednesday.
Contradictions emerge OTTAWA — Testimony at the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy has put Stephen Harper’s right- hand man smack in the centre of the scandal, contradicting the Conservative campaign’s assurances. Ray Novak, Harper’s chief of staff and current campaign director, was in touch right up until the call of the federal election with Nigel Wright — the ex-chief of staff whom Harper has repeatedly held responsible for the scandal. And court heard that Novak has been in the loop from the very beginning on the behind-thescenes machinations that eventually led to Wright’s departure from

the Prime Minister’s Office and some of the charges laid against Duffy. That version of events directly contradicts what the Conservative campaign told reporters late last week; that Novak was not aware. The information emerged during Duffy’s trial on fraud, breach of trust and bribery charges. Defence lawyer Donald Bayne read out an interview conducted by the RCMP with former PMO lawyer Benjamin Perrin in February 2014. Perrin told the RCMP investigator that it was “black and white” that Novak was told that former chief of staff Wright would foot the $90,000 bill for Duffy’s contested expenses.

Three people were missing in a southeast Alaska town Tuesday after landslides prompted by heavy rain, emergency responders said. Search and rescue personnel were looking for the missing people in Sitka, where three landslides were reported Tuesday morning after 2.5 inches (6.35 centimetres) of rain fell in 24 hours. One sinkhole also was reported. The people who were unaccounted for were all in the same neighbourhood hit by one of the landslides, Sitka fire spokeswoman Sara Peterson said.

An Island creation to enjoy shaken, not stirred Lynette Burns The Lucky Gourmet
F
or decades, micro-distilleries have flourished in Europe. Now it’s B.C.’s turn. Thanks to recent changes in the B.C. liquor laws small batch distillers can now sell to restaurants and lounges as well as at local farmers markets. We can boast of more than 30 artisan distilleries, including several on the island. Craft distillers are using home-sourced products to make their spirits. Many are actually growing the crops they need. The attraction of homespun authenticity is not lost on Vancouver Islanders. Island-made spirits are in high demand. Wayward Distillation House in the Comox Valley is making its Unruly Vodka out of 100 per cent B.C. clover honey. Blended with local glacier water and specialized yeast, the mash is left to turn into honey wine or mead. The Wayward still (the essential vessel in which liquids is distilled) is specifically designed to work with a honey spirit, gently heating the mead to release the alcohol vapours. The result is quality vodka that has a touch of sweetness on the nose, a full bodied mouth feel with a smooth finish.
The martini is generating new excitement thanks to the proliferation of new local small-batch distilleries. [COURTESY LYNETTE BURNS]
Another Vancouver Island favorite is Ampersand Gin. Established in 2011, this distillery is built on an organic farm in the Cowichan Valley. Its gin is fashioned from locally grown organic botanicals and organic B.C. wheat. On the nose, the aromatic dry gin shows hints of juniper and lemon. The mouth feel is rich with a dry smooth finish. Enjoy it alone or in your favorite cocktail. How you prepare these flavourful island-crafted spirits is purely a matter of subjective taste. Do you like your martini shaken or stirred? It’s entirely
up to you. But here are some tips to create your perfect gin or vodka martini. Chill your glass for at least 10 minutes. Measure the gin and dry vermouth into your shaker before you add your ice. The rule of thumb is two parts spirits to one part vermouth, but this is where it’s all about your own particular preference. Play with it until you have perfected your version. Try adding a dash of olive or pickle juice. Fill the shaker half way with ice. Shake or stir vigorously until the outside of the shaker
shows signs of frosty condensation. Strain your martini into your chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon twist (peel only), or toothpick-skewered olives or pickled onions. Some people like a cucumber slice or even a dill pickle. At Lucky’s Liquor Store in Country Club Centre at Nanaimo we take pride in supporting our local craft distillers. Boutique spirits from Vancouver Island distilleries include Arbutus, Merridale, Phillips Fermentorium, Still Master, Ampersand and Unruly. You’ll find them all at Lucky’s.
Hoisin-dijon chicken skewers for the grill For those days when you just want something simple and delicious to pop onto the grill and get to the table in under 30 minutes, this is your recipe. A savory-tangy sauce made from hoisin, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar and red pepper flakes mixes up in a flash and imparts big, bold flavour in no time. As for the chicken itself, what to buy all comes down to how easy you want to make things. You can buy chicken breast tenders so that all you have to do is thread the meat onto the skewers. They cost a bit more, but the convenience might be worth it to you.

Or you can save a little cash and buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts, then thinly slice them into strips. It will take an extra 5 to 10 minutes, but you’ll save cash. Either way, it’s easy to turn these skewers into a complete meal. Make a giant salad tossed with a robust vinaigrette (something with berry jam whisked in), then pile the skewers over individual servings of the salad. HOISIN-DIJON CHICKEN SKEWERS Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 6 3/4 cup hoisin sauce 1/3 cup Dijon mustard 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 pounds chicken tenders (or chicken breasts cut into thin strips) Kosher salt and ground black pepper Count out the number of chicken strips you have, then soak an equal number of bamboo skewers in warm water for 15 minutes. Heat the grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, mustard, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Divide the sauce into two portions, one for basting the raw chicken, another to serve with the chicken after it is cooked. Pat the chicken pieces dry
with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers and brush all over with one portion of the hoisin mixture. Grill the chicken for two to three minutes per side, basting with more of the hoisin mixture as it cooks. As the skewers finish cooking, reaching 165 F at the thickest part, transfer them to a platter. Serve with the reserved sauce.

itamin B12 is a nutrient essential to good health. The only foods that contain this vitamin naturally are foods that come from animal sources. Vitamin B12 is found in meat, fish, poultry, eggs and milk products. People who do not eat animal products may risk developing a vitamin B 12 deficiency unless they take a B12 supplement. Lack of vitamin B12 can lead to serious health problems. Like most vitamins, B12 is needed throughout the life cycle. It is an important component of healthy red blood cells and part of a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B12 is also necessary for normal functioning of all of the cells in the body. It is needed to help make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 is especially important in pregnancy. During pregnancy, women are encouraged to drink milk for calcium and to eat red meat for iron. Both of these foods are also excellent sources of vitamin B12. Prenatal vitamins will also provide additional vitamin B12. In infants and young children, vitamin B12 is essential for growth, brain development, learning, memory and intelligence. Children, who eat limited amounts of milk, eggs, or meat products, should be seen by a registered dietitian who can assess the need for a vitamin B12 supplement. Children and adults on strict vegetarian or vegan diets need to meet their requirements with vitamin B12 enriched foods or supplements. Fortified soy beverage, meatless deli slices or vegetarian wieners or soy burgers are good choices for people who do not eat animal products because they have vitamin B12 added. A type of yeast high in Vitamin B12 called Red Star T6635+ can be sprinkled on foods to increase Vitamin B12 intake. Some older adults lose their ability to digest vitamin B12 from food as they age. For others, vitamin B12 status could be low due to poor intake of B12 containing foods. It is a good idea for people who might be at risk to have their vitamin B12 levels assessed by a physician. For some, a healthy diet high in foods containing Vitamin B12 may be enough to reverse a deficiency. For others, it may be necessary to use supplements or vitamin B12 fortified foods to maintain a healthy vitamin B12 level. From the time of conception to the end of life, vitamin B12 is vital for good health. Choose a healthy diet that includes a variety of foods including those from animal sources. People who follow a strict vegan lifestyle should include foods fortified with Vitamin B12 or take a vitamin B12 supplement. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

Stilwell sets sights on Rio Parksville-Qualicum MLA won gold at Parapan Am Games
P
arksville-Qualicum Beach MLA Michelle Stilwell has returned home after a successful trip to Toronto for the 2015 Parapan Am Games. Stilwell, who competed in both the 100 and 800 metre events, was able to bring home a gold medal in the 100-metre event and set a Parapan Am Games record with her time of 2.22.90 in the 800-metre event (T52) as well. “What an experience,” Stilwell said, back in office. “It was such a wonderful event put on in Toronto. The folks there did a fantastic job with everything that was going on, the entire event was very well organized and everyone had such a great time being there. Being able to race in front of your country, having the results that Canada had and setting attendance records for the Parapan Am Games was just an amazing thing to be a part of.” Stilwell finished off her first event, the 100-metre race, with a time of 19.58 seconds, which was just under a second off of the world record time she set back in 2012. The event looked like it was going to take place in the rain

but moments before athletes were set to take the track; the rain stopped and held off for the event. “We weren’t sure what would happen with that one,” Stilwell said. “All the athletes use an adhesive which helps give us a bit of extra push in the rain. So the rain stopped just after we decided to put it on and it made it tough on those first couple of pushes out of the gate. “It was still a good race though and I’m very happy I was able to bring home a gold medal in front of my country.” In the 800-metre event, Stilwell finished in eigth place but managed to set a Parapan Am

Games record for her time of 2.22.90, which is the top time for a T52 competitor in Parapan Am Games history. “I felt it was a great race,” Stilwell said. “It was exactly what I anticipated. I ran in the category above, so the girls I was racing against had more upper body function that I do so I knew that I had no hope of finishing on the podium but I was able to have a great race regardless. I was only a little ways off of getting in to the draft with the rest of the pack, so it was a very good race for me.” Stilwell was the only T52, a competitor with limited upper body function, racing against T53 athletes, who have full function of their upper body. Now that the Parapan Am Games have finished and with Rio 2016 one year away, Stilwell said she will now use her offwork, athletics time to attempt qualification for the Canadian Paralympic team. “We’ve got the World Championships in October,” Stilwell said. “If all goes well and I can work it in to my busy schedule, I’d like to be there to bring back another first place finish and be able to represent my country in Rio.”

Blue Jays beat Phillies 8-5 ROB MAADDI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Josh Donaldson has turned the two-hole into a slugger’s spot in the lineup. Donaldson hit two homers, Edwin Encarnacion also went deep and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5 Tuesday night. The American League wild card-leading Blue Jays have won 13 of 15. They remained one game behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees. Donaldson has 33 homers and leads the majors with 91 RBIs while batting in a spot once reserved for slap hitters and guys who played small-ball. “I’m in a position in the lineup where I need to come through, and fortunately I’ve been able to do that,” Donaldson said. “Every time I come up I expect to not only have a good at-bat, but to help my team win.” The Phillies, who have the worst record in the majors, have lost four straight and five of six after winning 16 of 21 following
the All-Star break. Donaldson hit a drive off Aaron Nola into the second deck in left field in the first. His three-run shot in the sixth off Jeanmar Gomez (1-3) gave the Blue Jays a 7-5 lead. A loud group of Jays fans chanted “MVP” as he rounded the bases. “He’s such a gamer and he may perpetually be in the zone,” Toronto starter R.A. Dickey said. “It’s been special to watch him have a big year.” Jeff Francoeur hit a solo homer for Philadelphia. Dickey allowed five runs and nine hits in four-plus innings, becoming the first Jays starter to give up more than three earned runs in 21 games. Liam Hendricks (4-0) pitched out of a jam in the fifth to earn the win. Roberto Osuna pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 15 chances. “I didn’t have a good (knuckleball),” Dickey said. “I was fighting it all night.” Nola gave up three runs and four hits in five innings. He left with a 5-3 lead.

eclarer put up the king and drew trump in three rounds ending in hand to advance the deuce of spades towards the table. West hopped with the king and switched to a diamond but an overtrick was home, N-S +170. Should South have advanced to the major suit game? He was minimum, to be sure, but held prime cards. Additionally, he owned a fit for partner’s suit and this factor should convince him to accept the invitation. If East had topped the spade queen with the king, South would still be in with a chance. He would cross to dummy with a club and follow with a finesse of the spade ten hoping that East also held the jack. Declarer was a slight favorite to bring home the trump suit without loss but North’s spade suit was a disappointment. South could still manage ten tricks, when there was a trump loser, with the addition of the jack of spades to North’s hand. The game would be a lock with the spade king onside. North rejected a constructive raise promising three-card support with a good 8 to a poor 10 HCP. There would be no chance of reaching game in this scenario because South would pass in an instant.

Whitecaps, Morales agree on multi-year deal The Vancouver Whitecaps signed designated player Pedro Morales to a multi-year contract extension Tuesday. The 30-yearold captain has five goals and four assists over 19 appearances in the regular season. “Since Pedro joined our team at the beginning of last season, he has been nothing short of a top player and professional,” Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson said in a release. “Pedro is instrumental to the success of this club and a true leader for our young group of players.”

Flames, Stampeders plan for new facilities The group that owns the Calgary Flames hockey club and Stampeders football team has revealed a massive, $900-million plan to build a new home for the two teams. It calls for a 20,000-seat arena that would replace the Scotiabank Saddledome where the NHL Flames currently play. It also includes a 30,000-seat indoor football stadium for the CFL Stampeders that would also serve as a public fieldhouse. They would be built on the western edge of Calgary’s downtown along the Bow River, where the city’s Greyhound bus depot and some car dealerships now sit.

Argos, Jays could have schedule conflicts The Toronto Argonauts are making contingency plans in case the Toronto Blue Jays reach the baseball post-season. The Argos are scheduled to play four October home games at Rogers Centre and five of their final six regular-season contests there. That includes an Oct. 6 matchup versus the Ottawa Redblacks, which would be the same night of an American League wild-card game. Heading into action Tuesday night, the Blue Jays held the first wild-card spot. If Toronto remained atop the standings, it would host the wild-card contest.

Brooke Henderson, 17, granted LPGA Tour card
Seahawks continue to shuffle offensive line
JIM MORRIS THE CANADIAN PRESS
COQUITLAM — After Brooke Henderson was denied early admittance into the LPGA Tour’s qualifying school, the Canadian teenager gave commissioner Michael Whan several reasons to change his mind. Henderson put together a string of impressive results in LPGA events this year despite having to rely on sponsors’ exemptions or qualification just to play. And two days after she cruised to her first Tour victory at last weekend’s Cambia Portland Classic, Henderson was finally granted full LPGA membership. “It’s an opportunity that not a lot of people get,” the 17-yearold from Smiths Falls, Ont., said Tuesday before shooting a practice round at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. “I can start living my dream today.” Having a full membership means Henderson won’t have to play Monday qualifying tournaments for the rest of the season. She faced having to qualify because she had exhausted all six of her sponsors’ exemptions. “It’s a little bit surreal,” said Henderson. “The last couple of days have
HENDERSON
been an amazing journey. “I’m still going to play my own game and go out there and do what I have always done. Just to know I have a place to play now any week I want to, and I have full status for at least a year, is really exciting. I am playing really well right now. Hopefully I can keep it going.” Henderson had appealed to the LPGA for early admission in the past. She petitioned the organization to allow her to attend qualifying school last year after winning three times as an amateur on the Canadian Women’s Tour, but was turned down. “That was probably the best thing that could have happened to me,” she said. “It made me realize what I really wanted in
life and what I really desired. “It made me work really hard, made me focus and be more determined.” LPGA policy states that any woman 18 years of age or over is eligible to apply for Tour membership, but golfers between the ages of 15 and 18 may be granted special permission to apply for membership by petitioning directly to the Tour commissioner. Henderson had the weight of a Tour victory behind this petition, becoming the second golfer in LPGA history to go from Monday qualifier to tournament winner in Portland. “After reviewing Brooke Henderson’s petition, I have granted her LPGA Tour membership beginning immediately,” Tour commissioner Michael Whan said in a statement. “Brooke truly earned her card, and we are looking forward to Brooke joining our Tour and our family.” Veteran Canadian golfer Lorie Kane said Henderson deserves to be on the Tour. “It’s very exciting,” said Kane. “It was only a matter of time before that happened.” Any money Henderson earns during the remainder of this season will be considered official money.
CFL
Als slumping ahead of Lions date BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes want to leave the negativity behind when they fly to Vancouver to face the B.C. Lions this week. That includes their 2-5 record, a three-game losing streak, criticism of offensive co-ordinator Turk Schonert over play calling, the departure of celebrity rush end Michael Sam to deal with mental issues and the benching of popular defensive end John Bowman. “About negativity, we actually
talked about it,” coach Tom Higgins said Tuesday. “You have the opportunity to read or listen to it and allow it to affect you or not affect you. All we have to do is get a victory and all of sudden things turn around and everything’s good again.” Pulling out a victory at B.C. Place, where the Alouettes face the Lions on Thursday night, would be a rare feat indeed. Montreal has one victory since 2000 in Vancouver, and that was in 2010 when the Lions played at Empire Field because B.C. Place
was being renovated. They are 0-13 in that span in the Lions’ regular home, including a 41-5 defeat last season. The Lions will be testy coming off a 55-22 blowout loss in Hamilton in which linebacker Solomon Elimimian, last season’s CFL outstanding player and outstanding defensive player, injured an Achilles tendon and was put on the sixgame injured list. Frustration has been building among the Alouettes, who could easily be 5-2 if not for some disastrous errors at key times.
CURTIS CRABTREE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. — A rough showing in the preseason opener has left the Seattle Seahawks searching for answers along the offensive line. Justin Britt, who started 18 games for Seattle at right tackle as a rookie last season, has been taking snaps with the first-team offence at left guard during practice this week. Britt is the fifth different player to take snaps with the first team at left guard since the start of training camp three weeks ago. Alvin Bailey, Keavon Milton and rookies Mark Glowinski and Kristjan Sokoli have also been there. In Britt’s place, Garry Gilliam has taken over at right tackle. “We’re trying to get the best guys out there in the huddle and then find out where they fit,” offensive line coach Tom Cable said. Cable said he “did not like the pass protection at all” during Friday’s opener against the Denver Broncos. Seattle quarterbacks were sacked seven times and the team gained just 181 yards offensively as the line struggled. “We’ve got to be better. We can’t have people hit the quarterback like that. It’s unacceptable,” left tackle Russell Okung said. “We can’t have seven sacks a game. I don’t care what team is out there.” In addition to the turnstile at left guard, Drew Nowak and Lemuel Jeanpierre continue to battle for the starting centre job. Jeanpierre started last week against Denver while Nowak will get the chance to start this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The two are competing to replace Max Unger, who was traded to New Orleans in a deal that brought Jimmy Graham to Seattle this off-season. The only constants have been Okung at left tackle and J.R. Sweezy at right guard. “It’s a really important week for us,” head coach Pete Carroll said. “We have to make strides. We have to get better.”

no matter what. Conversations will be animated and powerful. Take news with a grain of salt; you might not have all the facts. Tonight: Not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be in a position where you need to get more done, as others seem to have left some extra work or details for you to take care of. You will make it your pleasure at this point, but know that you don’t have to accept this type of responsibility too often. Tonight: Do for you. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug. 19) This year you will be more creative, communicative and caring. Sometimes, because of the broad circle of friends you have, you discover that you have less time for in-depth conversations. For that reason, a superficiality might permeate the year. You also could see a financial opportunity open up in the next 12 months. If you are single, you will remain so only by choice. Don’t feel as if you have to settle or even make a decision until you are ready. If you are attached, though your popularity soars, remember your sweetie. Make him or her the major centerpiece of your life. LIBRA gravitates toward you, and vice versa.

Roughly 1 in 6 people ages 14-49 in the U.S. have genital herpes, and many are unaware of it. While it is not curable, there is medication available to treat symptoms, control outbreaks and reduce the risk of transmission to a partner.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A surprise might toss you into some thoughtful reflection. The outcome of this will be important. You will want to simplify what is happening around you. Open up to some big changes that will add to the excitement of the moment. Tonight: Be spontaneous. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be stunned by what is going on around you. You could gain a sudden insight that will help you deal with your day-to-day life. Try to see the big picture, but don’t force others to see that same vision. Tonight: Take a brisk walk or indulge in some other form of exercise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to see beyond the obvious will make a considerable difference in various situations. The unexpected could result in stronger feelings and a clearer sense of direction. Others will express their thoughts as long as they don’t feel cornered. Tonight: All smiles. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to what is shared. Otherwise, you might not have a strong sense of what is really being asked. Try not to overcommit yourself, and don’t say that something is a good idea if you don’t believe it. You will feel as if anything is possible. Tonight: Make it fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll make an effort to reach out to others despite a more interesting and intriguing situation that lures you in. Sometimes you need to let go of demands and change your schedule. This might be an excellent example of when this would be appropriate. Tonight: Make calls first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be exhausted from all the recent activity. Know that you have what it takes to clear out and get through what you must. Make this an early day if you can. You might need to slow down some or pull out of a commitment. Tonight: Full of fun. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will make a difference wherever you go. A partner, who sometimes is unpredictable, is likely to add a touch of vitality to the day. You might notice that a friend has an
odd response to a predictable situation. Still, continue as you have been. Tonight: Where the action is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what needs to happen. Before you make any decisions, understand that a certain amount of unpredictability runs through your day. You’ll want to simplify the moment and do only what you want. Is that a possibility? Tonight: Cocoon at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be a little out of sorts, as a loved one seems to be challenging you. Understand that you cannot control this person. You don’t need to reach out to him or her, but you do need to detach in order to see the big picture. Tonight: Think before you act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll feel comfortable assuming a leadership position right now. You know how to handle the voices of uncertainty and discontentment better than most. Soon others will become more confident in your abilities. Tonight: Your actions do count. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Know when to say less and observe more. You could be stunned by what happens, but remain confident that you will succeed

DEATHS
Elspeth Madge Ross
19 November 1919 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 August 2015 Elspeth Madge Ross, 95, passed away peacefully at her home on 11 August 2015. Her husband Robin and her son Ian predecease her. She is survived by a number of nieces and nephews and their families, as well as her daughter-in-law Melody. The daughter of Franklin M. and Elizabeth (nĂŠe Farrish) Ritchie, Elspeth was born on 19 November 1919 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. During World War II, Elspeth was a colonel in the U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army Corps later stationed in Europe. Previously, while studying in Scotland, she met her future husband Robin, and after marrying in India in 1945, she and Robin (then a member of the Indian Civil Service) remained in India until 1947. Returning to England where they adopted their son Ian in 1953, the couple decided to move to Canada in 1957, and Robin later began work at the University of Toronto, eventually becoming Registrar. Elspeth returned to school to acquire a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Library Science and went on to work as a librarian. After retiring, the couple moved to Qualicum Beach in the late 1980s where both were active members of the congregation at St. Columba Presbyterian Church and the Qualicum Beach Golf Club. Elspeth was particularly involved with the Qualicum Beach Museum and Historical Society, working tirelessly for years as a volunteer to help expand the archives. A Service of Interment will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, 28 August, in the Memorial Garden at St. Columba Presbyterian Church in Parksville, B.C. where Elspethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes will be placed next to those of her husband. Refreshments to follow.
