EMERGENCY

Fire officials say blazes man-made

Pair of recent brush fires in Nanaimo area described as ‘homeless camp’; several people displaced

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

A series of brush fires continue to keep Nanaimo firefighting crews busy.

Three blazes were reported within the last five days. All were believed to be man-made, with at least two taking place in areas known to be used by homeless people. The latest fire began early Tuesday in thick bush near the Northfield Road intersection on the Nanaimo Parkway.

Nanaimo fire investigator Alan Millbank said it took several hours to put out the fire. It never got larger than a half-acre, but firefighters were on the scene for the rest of the day dealing with

hot spots. Millbank described the site as a homeless camp, with several of the campers displaced by the fire.

Another brush fire broke out near Cedar Monday morning that was determined to be caused by an illegal bonfire that got out of control. Firefighters arrived to find freshly cut wood and burned furniture at the site.

Millbank said the major interface brush fire that threatened homes in Nanaimo’s south end Friday afternoon started in an area known to be a homeless campground.

High winds at the time caused that fire, off Fourth Street, to quickly spread to include four

hectares and required firefighters from all the city’s four fire halls to put it out.

A cooking fire is the suspected cause of the blaze. Firefighters found the remains of several campsites containing lighters, shopping carts, tents and other improvised shelters at the scene.

“The temperatures are now starting to get cooler in the evenings so some people are starting campfires to stay warm,” Millbank said. “But it’s still super dry out there and the fire rating is still at extreme.”

CANADA VOTES!

Candidates speak to derelict boat issue

RCMP seek help finding young woman DAILY NEWS

Viki-Lyne II in Ladysmith, to reduce the threat to the environment from the derelict fishing vessel. There was no report of oil in the water – the action was preventative and proactive.

The Coast Guard is continuing to monitor the Viki-Lyne II situation.

There are four other possible solutions for Ladysmith Harbour that require the participation of other levels of government, including a joint effort with the Town of Ladysmith and Chemainus First Nation to approach the Province that could provide an almost immediate solution. MP Weston’s bill, which imposes personal responsibility on derelict vessel owners, is a good start.

Question: “What will you do to address the issue of derelict vessels along the Vancouver Island coast?”

Nanaimo-Ladysmith Mark MacDonald, Conservative Derelict vessels are a serious problem in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding, and I have been personally working on this issue since March.

In June, MP John Weston (West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country) introduced a Private Member’s Bill to counter the increasing problem of abandoned vessels in our coastal waters. The Prohibition of Abandoned Vessels bill, for the first time, creates the possibility that a person who

abandons a vessel may be subject to jail time and fines of up to $100,000. The work reflects input from mayors, councillors, boaters, and other leaders in B.C.’s coastal communities, with whom Weston has been working to develop policies and laws to deal with

the problem. Transport Canada had as of last year identified 245 boats that might be deemed “abandoned.”

Last October, the Canadian Coast Guard contracted the removal of 20,000 litres of oil, sludge and oily waters from the

The Nanaimo RCMP is seeking public help to locate 20-yearold Kristen D’Amour, who has not been seen since Aug. 17. D’Amour’s roommate reported her as missing on Monday, prompting D’AMOUR an investigation.

The woman had left her central Nanaimo residence with only her bank card and a small nylon packsack. Police say all her other belongings were left untouched and that she has had no contact with friends or family since.

D’Amour is usually active on social media, but she has not made online posts since Aug. 17.

Police say the behaviour is considered “out of character” for the woman, who is described as white, five foot three and 100 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair, hazel eyes and some pock marking on her skin.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact 250-754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be made by texting 274637.

by German Auto Import Network of Vancouver Island. Next May, car enthusiasts will travel from far afield for motoring holidays at Vancouver Island Motorsport Resort, built to exacting German design standards.

“It is a test track facility in the middle of the distance between Nanaimo and Victoria, where people with sports cars can drive them without having to worry about speed limits,” said Peter Trzewik, GAIN Vancouver Island

president. The GAIN group of car dealerships, including Suburu, BMW-Mini and Mercedes-Benz in Nanaimo, has brought 12,000 participants to driving events at Victoria’s Western Speedway in less than three years.

The facility, located north of Duncan off Highway 18 to Lake Cowichan will be “western Canada’s most sophisticated track,” available year-round thanks to a mild coastal climate.

There will be a 14,500-squarefoot clubhouse and restaurant, and members can store their cars in a secure, temperature-controlled facility. Designed by internationally renowned firm Tilke GmbH & Co., the VIMR circuit will give new and accomplished drivers opportunities to hone skills.

Phase 1 will offer 19 corners and elevation changes of 25 metres in a safe environment to reach

speeds up to 200 kilometres an hour.

After Phase 2 is completed, there will be a total of 4.21 kilometres of track available.

Drivers from across North America are expected to come through Nanaimo and Victoria airports. GAIN knows Erb’s work from previous jobs for the company, in Nanaimo and Victoria.

Trzewik said GAIN has repeatedly been impressed by SupErb’s workmanship and ability to meet deadlines and budgets.

The company needed a quality builder with good references and “Chris has pretty well all of those,” said Trzewik.

“It’s fun,” Erb said.

He expects to start laying asphalt this fall.

Vancouver Island’s Largest

Laminate

The City of Nanaimo’s water supply has dipped below 70 per cent capacity, but the city’s water manager says the municipality is in good stead heading into the winter months. That’s despite forecasts for an unusually warm, dry winter for Vancouver Island and the rest of the province.

According to water resources manager Bill Sims, city residents managed to slash water consumption so far this summer by approximately 20 per cent from earlier in the year.

Even so, Sims said he would expect the capacity of the city’s Jump Lake reservoir to decrease to “a comfortable” margin of 40 per cent if the current weather trends continued.

“It’s where you would expect to be . . . in line with at the end of the dry season,” he said.

While that level may seem low to some, Sims said the reservoir would quickly recover with a few days’ rain, although he added it would have to be a substantial amount of precipitation.

He indicated the prospects of tighter water restrictions — currently at Level 2 — are not likely.

“That’s not our intention at this point and quite honestly, we’re getting damn near the end of August,” Sims said.

Lower water use traditionally seen in the winter months will also come into play, Sims said.

Water use in the summer, which comes in at around 50 million litres per day, is expected to drop between 28 million and 32 million between October and December.

But Sims said residents have risen to the occasion. Even taking into account the stark decline in water use due to the heightened water restrictions,

residents used about five per cent less overall from the previous year.

“I don’t think I was surprised,” he said. “I was really pleased by it.”

The city also did its part by eliminating watering of road medians and city lawns and green spaces, with an exception to ensure trees received water.

“We went thorough a fair bit of angst when we shifted from Level 1 to Level 2 (restrictions),” Sims said, adding the “phones (were) ringing off the hook” with concerns from residents.

But he added declining water use has been an ongoing project for the city, beginning with a staggered rate system introduced in the early 1990s. The city has lower water consumption levels compared to both the provincial and national averages.

“People are already down the road on conservation,” he said.

Will school closure merry-go-round ever stop?

I

t’s a familiar sight in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district — parents rallying to save schools from a potential closure.

A noble cause, to be sure. But we wonder when the merry-goround will ever stop.

The latest in a long saga locally, that has featured a variety of schools on the chopping block over the course of many years and several administrations, saw approximately 70 parents and students from Rutherford and Departure Bay elementary schools stage a protest in front of the district’s administra- tive office Monday morning.

As we reported, the protest was held in advance of a school board meeting set for Sept. 2 where trustees will discuss the possibil-

ity of closing both schools at the end of the upcoming school year.

Sound familiar?

As with many other districts around the province, enrolment numbers mean some schools will have to be closed.

In the Nanaimo area, however, the pushback has been strong, and often successful.

Don’t like the call to close your school? Elect the right folks, squash the decision and carry on.

There’s nothing wrong with that from a democracy standpoint, since that’s how the system works.

Were it not for the much-ballyhooed ‘rump group’ back in the day, Nanaimo District Secondary School would be closed and the district would have a new, min-

istry-approved high school.

Instead, NDSS remains open and there’s still no high school.

Don’t like a subsequent (and very flawed) facilities plan highlighted by the closure of Cedar Secondary School and the staunch refusal to even bus the displaced students to nearby Ladysmith?

No problem. Another election, a new group comes in to set things straight all over again.

And there’s still no new high school.

Again, it’s simply how the system works.

But at some point, the district is going to have to pay the piper and schools will have to close.

A new facilities plan is expected to be tabled this fall and the board has scheduled the meeting

at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre on Sept. 2 to allow staff the opportunity to answer questions about the process.

“We don’t want to be part of any public consultation process that could lead to the closure of our school,” said one Departure Bay parent.

“If our school is still scheduled to be closed in the new facilities plan, we’ll hold more protest rallies and use every means we can to prevent it.”

And they should. Your child goes to a nearby neighbourhood school that they love and are comfortable with, and it’s only natural to want that to continue.

In many cases, those anti-closure voices have been heard, loud and clear.

But therein lies the proverb-

ial rub. No one enjoys seeing a school closed. But without some difficult decisions, the mandated budget targets are extremely difficult to hit. It’s an awful conundrum, even for the most well-meaning school trustees.

The school boards are basically convenient middle men, doing the hatchet work for the provincial government, which ultimately controls the purse strings.

“Want a new high school? Sure.

Let us know when you’ve got your stuff together. Can’t seem to get your stuff together? That’s a shame. Back to the drawing board.”

Around and around we go. » We want to hear from you.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Collapse of Colliery dams is never going to happen Dear mayor and council: The subject of the dams situation has gone on long enough.

The collapse of the dams and causing severe problems for the residents of Harewood is not going to happen. The scare that the last council produced for the residents was bad in so many ways. Seniors are scared. One particular senior is scared to the point she thinks she will drown in her sleep when it rains.

While this may not be your intention, it is indeed the outcome. Property value has dropped because of the signage, segregating south Harewood as a place that you do not want to live ‘just in case.’

Now you mayor and council have continued the drama.

We all know that the dams will not break. It has been proven by the experts that were brought in by the Dams Preservation Society.

Jeff Solomon has worked very hard to be informative and honest about his information and solutions with the least amount of cost.

The last mayor and council have

spent a tremendous amount of taxpayer money on all the different tests, experts, different plans, signage that was supposedly short-term. Satisfy the province with the the least change to the dams.

Take down the signage now — the short-term strategy of the dams failing the evidence provided to the public does not support this conclusion.

The people want this historic forest/water park. This community has spoken loud and clear and will continue to protect this sanctuary.

Peggy Lake Nanaimo

Flip-flops should have been allowed at council To be fair, it may have been the pink flip-flops.

Over the last six months the mayor has progressively clamped down on the citizens of Nanaimo’s Charter Rights and Freedoms.

The charter reads: “2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion;

(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (d) freedom of association.”

A little over a month ago the mayor claimed the signman was distracting council, quoting sections of the local government act, On Aug. 17, the mayor quoted the same sections over the flip-flops.

Members of the gallery then asked if their shirts would be banned.

Odd, tongue-in-cheek so to speak, especially considering Item 6 on the docket was about the request for $11,000 for a junket to China was abruptly withdrawn without explanation. Another flip-flop.

Adding to the irony, the first item to go ahead on the agenda was the council charter which included the mayor’s role, and behaviour on council.

Nanaimo council spends tax dollars needlessly Re: ‘Council looks to curb spend-

I am still very much amused, if not having that deja vu feeling, about yet another pledge statement.

Nanaimo councillors’ mindsets must be in Beverly Hills 90210 because they still continually spend the tax dollars like it’s Christmas every day, on things we don’t need and cannot afford.

If the councillors are indeed serious about curtailing spending, then no more hiring consultants to tell them how to govern; no more fancy port-o-potties; no more tax dollars wasted on boondoggle money pits; and no more bailouts or subsidies.

Only then can we have 100 per cent financial control.

BUSINESS NOTES News from the Nanaimo business community

Derelict boats issue New business in Old City Quarter big for Island voters

I know from my environmental degree, my small business and tourism background, and local government experience that our region’s ecology is central to a strong community and economy.

The NDP has an action plan to protect those values.

Without federal leadership, more abandoned vessels will threaten harbour ecology and economy.

But instead of focusing on issues that matter to our coastal communities, the Harper government has pursued the wrong priorities.

• Instead of acting on the Coast Guard’s strong recommendations on derelict vessels, the Harper government cut Coast Guard staff and closed stations.

• Instead of co-operating across party lines, the Harper government misrepresented and voted down Jean Crowder’s derelict vessel bill (which all our riding’s regional districts and Ladysmith Council had supported).

• Instead of taking leadership for coastal protection, the Harper government introduced their own inadequate bill in the final week of its ten-year term, a bill that would criminalize offenders, instead of properly resourcing a solution.

I am committed to working with community and Indigenous leaders to implement a comprehensive, coast-wide solution.

I’ll bring federal legislation to Parliament, to carry on NDP MP Jean Crowder’s work, so that we don’t keep fighting oil spill risk one vessel at a time.”

Paul Manly, Green

“Derelict and abandoned vessels pose a serious threat to the environment of B.C.’s coastal communities but the federal government has been reluctant to act.

The Viki Lynne II, a rusting ship in Ladysmith Harbour on the verge of sinking with more than 13,000 litres of oil and other toxic fluids in its hold, is an example where the Coast Guard has identified the hazard but is not empowered to act.

The Transport Canada ShipSource Oil Pollution Fund can only be used for clean-up after a spill has occurred. That’s too late.

The Green Party stands by the principle that polluters must pay

and be held responsible for their actions.

Registration, insurance and vessel safety codes should be in place to ensure that boat owners are in compliance with the standards necessary to protect our coastal waters.

The Green party also stands by the precautionary principle and would empower the Canadian Coast Guard to take action in situations where vessels have been abandoned in substandard conditions and pose a threat to the environment.

Our local economies depend greatly on the vital role played by our harbours in the fishing, tourism and transportation industries.

They must be protected with the full force of federal legislation.

As your Green Party MP I would work to introduce legislation that holds owners of derelict vessels responsible but which also empowers Transport Canada and the Coast Guard, providing the necessary funding to be proactive and deal with derelict and abandoned vessels before they cause environmental disasters.”

“It is estimated that there are hundreds of derelict vessels identified and while Transport Canada expects a report to determine possible solutions to be completed some time this year, I feel it is way past due. It is not acceptable that this problem persists.

As an elected Member of Parliament for Nanaimo-Ladysmith I will take an active role in working with local and provincial officials to establish a plan to clean up the mess. The solution to clean this up makes common sense and crosses party lines.

The Liberal Party of Canada is committed to a clean and healthy environment.

Doctors look for course Four Brits among six to train for assisted death killed in Quebec crash

Mom indicted on charges that carry death penalty

Doctors who are willing to assist in a patient’s death once the act becomes legal early next year will need to be trained because they’ve never been taught the procedures for ending a life, the Canadian Medical Association says. “There’s a lot of complexity in this for Canadian doctors and it’s the first time really any of us can remember that (we) have been forced to undertake an entirely new procedure or new intervention without any training or experience,� Dr. Jeff Blackmer, vice-president of medical professionalism, told a media briefing Tuesday during the CMA’s annual meeting in Halifax.

Blackmer said the 80,000-member doctors’ organization is considering an intensive two-day course for physicians “who have never had to learn this, who have not taken it in medical school or residency.�

Physicians who choose not to participate in assisted death may be offered an online course so they can counsel patients who want to pursue help in dying.

Those who are willing to provide the service would continue to take courses over the years, he said.

A woman accused of killing her three young sons over a 13-month period out of jealousy at the attention her husband paid them was indicted Tuesday on aggravated murder charges that carry the possibility of a death sentence.

The charges against Brittany Pilkington include capital punishment factors of multiple victims and victims under 13.

Prosecutor William Goslee had previously said death penalty charges were unlikely given Pilkington’s abusive childhood and life with her controlling husband, who previously was her mother’s boyfriend. He described a troubled woman who wanted “to eliminate male children� so her husband would have more time for her and her daughter.

Pilkington, 23, is in jail on $1 million bond. She didn’t speak at a brief court hearing last week and wasn’t required to enter a plea on the murder charges against her.

Her mother, Lori Cummins, said Pilkington told her in a brief jailhouse phone call last week that she’s innocent. A message was left with Pilkington’s attorney Tuesday after the indictment.

Britain’s Foreign Office says four Britons were among six people killed when a sightseeing seaplane crashed in a remote area of Quebec’s North Shore on Sunday. The ministry did not name the victims of the crash, which took place in a wooded area near the community of Les Bergeronnes, about 250 kilometres northeast of Quebec City The Foreign Office said Tuesday that British officials were in contact with Canadian authorities. The Air Saguenay plane was taking part in a routine sightseeing flight from Lac Long in Tadoussac when it went down, killing everyone on board.

The airline’s vice-president said the flight was only supposed to last 20 minutes and weather conditions appeared to have been “perfect� at the time.

Jean Tremblay also said the pilot had more than 6,000 hours of flying experience, all of them with Air Saguenay, where he had worked for 14 years.

The bodies of all six people killed in the crash have been found and handed over to the coroner’s office. The Transportation Safety Board has sent a team of investigators to the crash site.

BEER

Liquor stores chilling out the chill charge

Providing balance for vegetarian toddlers Eileen Bennewith

Cold charge becoming a thing of the past in private outlets “Cold beer is no longer a service or an advantage but rather a new given standard.”

B

ack in the 1980s, consumers were so pleased when the province allowed the creation of private cold beer and wine stores which accompanied the partial privatization of the liquor retail industry.

What a treat it was to get your beer home and quaff those cold suds right after taking off your work boots.

Before that, the only cold beer you could buy was at the off-sales counter that came along with the exorbitant tavern prices. So we happily paid just a little bit extra to take home chilled beer from the private cold beer and wine stores. Today cold bevies are readily available on virtually every street corner.

The tricks we all used to quickchill our brews on a Friday evening are now thankfully only distant memories.

Fast forward to today and you’ll notice that the consumers are now enjoying a windfall in most of the private stores in Nanaimo.

With liquor stores fiercely competing for the loyalty of their customers, the decades old “cold charge” — the little extra we have been in the habit of paying at the private liquor store for

Cold beer is fast becoming something consumers no longer have to pay extra for. [COURTESY LUCK GOURMET]

chilled beer — is history, at least for the moment.

You’ll now find that new liquor stores are now keeping all of their beer in refrigerated walk-in coolers, making the point that cold beer is no longer a service or an advantage but rather a new given standard that everyone will need to compete with.

We can’t be entirely certain how long this new trend will continue, but suffice it to say that for the moment, the “chill charge” no longer exists in most private stores.

Forced to compete to be competitive, existing nearby stores took note and followed suit by dropping their “cold-charge.”

And like a runaway virus, one by one, private liquor stores began waiving the “chill charge” since they wanted to keep their market share of Nanaimo’s thirst for

THE

beer which, of course, you the consumer benefit from.

Consumers aren’t dumb and most private stores realized that their customers were prepared to shop at the stores offering the best value, the ones that offered cold beer at competitive pricing and without that annoying chill charge.

So are chill charges a thing of the past in Nanaimo? Will they resurface next summer?

Only time will tell but, for the moment, don’t hesitate to take advantage of this benefit.

It has become clear that the consumer have won by this desire to remain competitive and, it is almost certain, that reinstating chill charges would not be something the consumers will ever demand.

So Nanaimo consumers finally get a victory and, in this world, it is not often we get an added service for free.

And in keeping with all of our competitors, Lucky’s Liquor Store in Country Club Centre in Nanaimo is now pleased to offer a wide variety of brews displayed in over 350 square feet of exceptionally chilled fridge, without even the hint of a chill charge.

The Lucky Gourmet

Around the world, many cultures follow vegetarian diets.

Infants and toddlers in these families thrive on the traditional foods cooked at home.

Families who are new to vegetarian eating may not know that there are special nutrient needs during pregnancy and when feeding infants and toddlers a vegetarian diet.

The best milk for all babies is breast milk. It is recommended to breastfeed babies for two years or longer. All babies also need 400 IU of Vitamin D per day in the first year. This can be given as a supplement.

It is important to get enough vitamin B12 during pregnancy and while you are breastfeeding so both mother and baby will have enough. Vitamin B12 is in the prenatal vitamin supplement, and in B12 fortified vegetarian foods.

While pregnant and breastfeeding, it is also important for the vegetarian mom to make sure she includes foods rich in omega-3 fats which are needed for a baby’s brain and vision.

These include canola, soy and flax seed oil, ground flax seed, hempseeds, soybean, walnuts, tofu and omega-3 enriched foods.

Babies that are not breastfed need an iron-fortified commercial infant formula until the age of one year when they can switch to whole cow or whole goat milk.

Vegan babies who are not breast-

Nutrition Notes

fed should have iron-fortified soy formula until age two.

From six months to two years, toddlers have very small appetites so a nutrient-rich diet is important. This is true for all toddlers, but those offered a vegetarian diet have some specific nutrient needs.

Offering good sources of omega-3 fats, protein, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, iron and calcium are especially important for good growth and development.

Many vegetarian foods are high in fibre. This can be very filling, so in order to get enough nutrients and calories without getting full too soon, toddlers on a vegetarian diet may need some modification to their foods.

Peeling vegetables and fruits with tough skins can minimize the amount of fibre at a meal.

Extra calories can be given by adding more high-fat foods such as avocado, whole milk, cheese, tofu, nut and seed butters. Also add oil, soft margarine or butter to foods.

Vitamin B12 is found only in animal foods. Children who eat eggs and dairy daily will get enough.

Toddlers on a vegan diet can get B12 from breast milk, soy formula and fortified foods such as meatless deli meats, veggie wieners and soy burgers or from a vitamin B12 supplement.

For more information on a healthy diet for vegetarian infants and toddlers, please call “811” and ask to speak to a registered dietitian.

Switching the cage for a visor to do past minor hockey.

“Just probably the home atmosphere and the fans,” Hardy said of what he’s looking forward to most. “I know we’ve got great fans. Watching the playoffs last year, it was pretty crazy. It just makes me want to go out there even more.”

Nanaimo’s Owen Hardy, 16, prepares for his first full season of junior hockey SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Mired by injuries last season, the Nanaimo Clippers called up 15-year-old prospect Owen Hardy for three games — and he stuck out like a sore thumb.

Not because of his play — the hometown right-winger was mostly mistake-free and played a strong, physical game — but due to his age he had to wear a full cage rather than a visor like everyone else on the ice.

But as Clippers training camp has now begun, Hardy enters Junior A hockey full-time with a visor. And he can see clearly.

“It was fun” said Hardy, who committed to the Clippers quickly after the 2014-15 season and who hit the ice as a member of the B.C. Hockey League team during Day 2 of training camp Tuesday.

“Having the visor was cool.

HARDY

“I was getting a little nervous sometimes with my chin (exposed), but other than that it was just like playing a normal game.”

Last season, Hardy tied with Campbell River’s Brett Stapley as the scoring leader of the major midget North Island Silvertips with 32 points in 31 games. He was drafted 42nd overall in the 2014 Western Hockey League bantam draft, but Clippers head

coach Mike Vandekamp is happy to have the local prospect in the BCHL and on his roster.

“He’s 16,” said Vandekamp, tempering his expectations for the young player. “He’s big and strong and he’s in great condition — he did well in our fitness tests — he’s a little ahead of himself from a physical standpoint and he’s a smart player with great instincts. He’s going to do very well.

“We don’t want a put a bunch of higher expectations or pressure on the kid, at all, but I think he’s going to be ready to contribute something for sure.

“We’re excited to have him.”

At five-foot-11, 181 pounds, Hardy was able to step into the BCHL last season and play in the corners with opponents as much as five years his senior.

This year, he isn’t planning on changing much — he wants to use his bulky frame to his advantage.

“I’m just going to go out there, take it one shift at a time and try my best,” Hardy said.

Hardy, who also practiced with the Clippers for most of the 201415 season during their run to the BCHL final, said he’s most excited about playing his junior hockey in his home town, something few players ever get the chance

The Clippers went into training camp a year ago with a bona fide No. 1 goalie in Guillaume Decelles and two others fighting for the back-up job.

This year, however, there is one goalie signed — 19-year-old Jonathan Reinhart — and six others looking to make the roster.

Last year’s back-up Jakob Severson is in the mix, as is Emilien Boily, Austin Roden, Evan Plotnik as well as 16-year-olds Jacob Walter and Bryce Scheibel. “(Reinhart) is a solid guy, so I think we’ve got lots of confidence in what he’s going to bring,” Vandekamp said, noting he needs to sign another 16 or 17-year-old, as per league rules.

“But from there, we’re looking for the best possible playing partner.”

Nanaimo’s top high school baseball prospect is back on his country’s national team.

Josh Burgmann, the ace pitcher for the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Nanaimo Pirates, has been named to the 20-man roster for the Canadian team heading to the Under 18 Baseball World Cup in Osaka, Japan on Friday.

The 17-year-old righty is currently en route to Japan to be one of nine pitchers on the national team, and one of nine players not in their final year of elibility for the tournament.

Burgmann will be on a team that also includes players already drafted by Major League Baseball teams, such as firstround pick Josh Naylor.

The roster was announced following the team’s selection camp that saw Canada play seven games against the Australian U18 side, according to Baseball Canada.

In Osaka, Canada will be joined

by Cuba, Korea, Chinese Taipei, Italy and South Africa in Group B, while Group A will feature two-time defending champion USA along with host Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and the Czech Republic.

Historically, Canada has won four medals at the World Cup including gold in 1991, silver in 2012 and bronze in 1997 and in 2006.

Seahawks QB converts to wide receiver CURTIS CRABTREE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — B.J. Daniels has played football since he was 6 years old and never played any position other than quarterback.

So naturally there was some hesitation when the Seahawks came to him asking if he would consider moving to wide receiver this off-season. However, Daniels has made a fairly seamless transition to being on the receiving end of passes during training camp and is pushing for a spot on Seattle’s 53-man roster.

“I’d never played another position before in my life,” Daniels said. “So to have to change a position so drastic in the professional level can, and will, be challenging.”

Daniels was a four-year starter at quarterback for South Florida before being drafted in the seventh round of the 2013 draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Daniels came to Seattle after being claimed off waivers from the 49ers that October.

After spending a few weeks on the team’s active roster, he was released and signed to the team’s practice squad.

In two seasons in Seattle, he was in uniform for just one game.

But his athleticism has intrigued the Seahawks and they wanted to find a way to get him on the field. With Tarvaris Jackson entrenched as the backup to Russell Wilson, the move to receiver seemed to be the best chance for making that happen.

“The thought was we love him as a football player, let’s see if we can find a place where he can make the team and play,” head coach Pete Carroll said.

Daniels had served as a wide receiver on the scout team each of the last two seasons. Those glimpses while he was lining up against the Seahawks’ vaunted secondary every day in practice helped fuel the idea of converting Daniels full-time.

“Little do people know I’ve been going against the first-string defence for almost two years now,” Daniels said.

Daniels has also become the team’s backup kick returner behind rookie Tyler Lockett.

Daniels has caught five passes for 34 yards in two preseason games so far for the Seahawks.

DENTURIST

Q:

I need an upper partial made and was told that I should match the teeth on my partial to the colour of my natural teeth which are yellowed. I wish my teeth were a little whiter, but I also don’t want them to look fake. Do you have any suggestions?

Selection of tooth shades is important when having any dental prosthetic made, but even more so, when there are natural teeth remaining in your mouth. Your partial teeth should match the colour of the adjacent natural teeth so they blend in. You could have your natural teeth Darren Hoffman whitened (bleached) first and then match the partial teeth to your lighter natural teeth (artificial teeth cannot be bleached). Keep in mind that really bright white teeth tend to look artificial since natural human dentition are not bright white. If you only have natural teeth in the back of the mouth a denturist can alternate your artificial teeth, using some teeth in your natural shade and some in slightly whiter shades which will blend in to produce a more natural look. Ultimately, it is your decision what colour you go with, but if you truly want natural looking teeth be cautious of advertisements for same day dentures or affordable dentures where rushing through the process and use of poor quality teeth can yield disappointing results. Making a quality prosthetic should involve important steps like try-ins which allow for fine tuning before the final fit. A skilled denturist, with artistic ability, can make slight variations to the tooth arrangement in conjunction with high quality teeth, in a lifelike shade to give you back your natural smile.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Toronto Blue Jays have been winning plenty of games since acquiring Troy Tulowitzki, even while the standout shortstop struggled a bit at the plate.

Now Tulowitzki is starting to heat up, and the Blue Jays are alone atop the American League East standings.

Tulowitzki had three hits, including the game-tying RBI single in the ninth inning before the go-ahead run scored on an error, as the Blue Jays rallied for a 6-5 victory at the wildcard-contending Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.

“He’s starting to get some hits the last couple of games. He’s one of the best players in baseball, has been for a number of years. He had that chance tonight. Right guy, right time,” manager John Gibbon said. “He’s starting to heat up. He looks good.

He’s starting to throw some line drives out there.”

Toronto is 20-4 since acquiring Tulowitzki from Colorado last month. He was hitting just .207 with the Blue Jays before five hits in 10 at-bats the last two games, and is hitting .287 overall this season.

“We know what kind of a hitter he is,” Blue Jays starter Mark Buehrle said. “Obviously, we need him to get to where we want to get to.”

BEDROOM FURNITURE

The main differences between Modular and Manufactured (aka mobile homes) are construction standards, materials and foundations. Manufactured / Mobile homes are built on a steel frame and are normally placed on wood blocking, concrete pillars and sometimes on metal posts. Modular homes are built with a wood floor system and are designed to go on either a crawlspace or a basement. Modular homes are built to Canadian Standards Association CSA-A277 (Canadian National Building Code) and are built to meet BC Building Code. These Standard Specifications can Realtor include engineered floor trusses, 2 x 6 exterior walls, 8’ & 9’ ceilings and primed and painted drywall. Building structural module homes indoors, in a controlled environment, resolves many problems typical of conventional on-site building. Both materials and schedules are less vulnerable to weather conditions. Tolerances are more exact and quality more consistent. Costs are lower and prices and completion dates more reliable, as the work of specialized trades’ workers is more easily scheduled and coordinated. Full testing of plumbing, wiring, heating and other systems before Modules leave the factory ensures every completed structure still meets the manufacturer’s exacting CSA approved standards. Deerwood Estates is a gated community and the Modular homes were built

by Retire West, a family owned company with a solid reputation earned through 26 years of planning, development and management of Modular home communities in BC. Deerwood Estates is distinguished by quality in design and construction and is a Hallmark in tasteful landscaping and attention to detail in the development of streetscapes and generous green space.

night. I’ve seen toppers that say “cool” do they work?

I’m going to tread softly here (law suits suck) here’s my thoughts. John & Lynn Rogers I’ve seen many different approaches to OWNERS cool over the years most of them involve memory foam and basically exploding the cell so that air flows through it, or adding gel to promote air flow.

For demonstration purposes this works well you can show how air flows through the uncompressed cell. However once you compress it IE: lay down, any channels that were opened up are now closed.

Heat has to go somewhere so these products will feel cool for a while but not long. The best approach is a good cotton mattress pad (not waterproof), wool pad and/or latex topper.

Depending on what assets Trustee you have and your ability to pay, your may either end up paying your debts in full or making a compromise by paying as little as 10% to 20% of your debts in some cases. All interest is stopped and creditors may not take any further action against you such as garnishments etc. Depending on the amount of your debts, you may only need 51% of the creditors (by dollar value) to vote in favour of the proposal in order to bind all other creditors in the compromise.

Arrears on your hydro bill can also be included in the proposal and you will be able to have your service reconnected once the proposal is filed. If you are counting a shortfall to the mortgage holder as part of your total debt, you may first wish to ensure that it is not going to be paid out by your ex-husband if he had originally cosigned for it.

I am a tooth grinder and have been told that that is hard on dental implants, is that true?

Yes it is true that people that grind their teeth can have more issues with dental implants just as they do with natural teeth wearing and fracturing more often. Depending on the severity of the grinding there are new treatments that use botox to reduce grinding.

Dr. Robert Wolanski This therapeutic use of botox is different than BSC, DDS the esthetic treatments most people are familiar with. Dr. Robert Wolanski will be holding free monthly seminars where will be available to discuss this technique. It is a unique opportunity to have all the time you need to have your questions answered. The next seminar is September 23 at Oliver Woods community centre in Nanaimo, at 6:30 PM. Please call our office to register at 250756-1666, coffee and snacks will be served.

MORTGAGES

You're right, there are several different options for those who are looking for a mortgage. Some of which are traditional Sharon Fauchon banks, local credit unions, online companies and & Krista Verhiel mortgage brokers. Some basic information about Your Trusted each is as follows… Banks are well known, Local Mortgage Experts trustworthy, but many different people will work with you and they only have their limited set of products available to you, and only offer their best rates to high net worth clients. Credit Unions are much the same as Banks. Online companies have high instances of fraud, they are usually full of fine print and false rate promises plus you never meet a person, it's all by phone or email especially not ideal for firsttime homebuyers or anyone with questions. Mortgage brokers are local people who you can go to an office and meet and have a lasting business relationship with one person. We have access to 75+ different banks, credit unions and lenders to get you the best product for your needs and always the lowest rate for everyone. A mortgage broker is more personal than a large company and we work for you not the company who is lending you the money meaning we always have your best interest at heart and best of all our services are FREE to you, we are paid by the lenders!

get frequent cold sores in the Q: Isummer sun. ls there anything to

help me avoid getting them?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Most people are exposed to the herpes simplex virus in childhood. Once you’ve had an episode of cold sores, the virus lies dormant in the nerve cells in your skin and may emerge again as David Duncan an active infection at or near the original site.

B.SC. (Pharm) R.P.E.B.C. Illness, fever, menstruation, stress and sun exposure may trigger recurrence. As the sun Pharmacist/ Manager seems to be your trigger your best defence is to try and avoid staying in the sun for long periods of time. Applying a good sun block to your lips and face before prolonged exposure to the sun, during both the winter and the summer helps prevent cold sores. When blisters are present you should avoid sharing personal lip products to prevent spreading the virus to someone else.

CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT

ast won the king but switched to heart as declarer drew trump and led a spade to the king which held when East ducked in tempo.

The closed hand was entered with the club queen to play another spade.

Declarer put up the queen but, when East produced the ace, the contract was down one, N- S -100.

East’s silence in the auction had been rewarded when South misguessed spades, reasoning that East was most unlikely to hold the ace. He had already shown up with the ace-king- jack of diamonds West would have led the queen from the queen-jack and declarer assumed that he might have taken some action if he also owned the ace of spades.

South could have succeeded by leading a club to the ten but defeat would be imminent if West produced the jack.

In fact, East was handcuffed by the minor suit opening since a takeout double was hardly suggested with a pancake pattern.

There are those who would overcall one diamond with his collection but the balanced hand mitigates strongly against this action. West had led a diamond anyway against the major suit game since N-S had bid the other three suits and avoided the ninetrick game.

B6 | NANAIMO DAILY NEWS | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2015

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar

◗ Follow us to breaking news: twitter.com/NanaimoDaily

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Apply innovative thinking to your ideas. A partner might not be on board with your plan, but try not to let it affect you. Bypass that attitude, and zero in what you know will work in a situation that seems to baffle many other people. Tonight: Where the action is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Tap into your imagination when listening to others about a certain issue. You will understand where they are coming from, but perhaps you see a different solution.

Share your ideas while still acknowledging theirs.

Tonight: Detach, and observe what happens.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could hear more news than you would like to. A friend might have a similar reaction.

You have choices to make, but confusion surrounds you. If you do feel unsure, take a step back. Don’t forget to spend time with a special loved one.

Tonight: Remain upbeat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A child or dear friend seems to close

down right in front of you. You’ll recognize that there is very little you can do. Open up and share your vulnerability with this person. You might not see an immediate reaction, but you will, given some time.

Tonight: Speak your mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Deal directly with someone who affects your dayto-day decisions.

This person is likely someone you encounter nearly every day. Refuse to be talked into anything that might force you to spend more money than you would like. It’s OK to say “no.”

Tonight: Take a brisk walk.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have the ability to draw in a loved one or dear friend. Your charisma speaks for itself. This person will open up to you, given some time. Be open with him or her as well. You might be delight- ed by the warmth and nature of this bond.

Tonight: Happiest at home.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 22) You might want to cocoon at home.

Thankfully, no one will make an attempt to stop you. Sometimes pulling back helps you relax and gain

a deeper perspective. You will be a lot happier if you can slow down and cut some of the impulsiveness out of a situation.

Tonight: Order in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know your limits. Understand what you need to do in order to get past your irritable mood.

Waiting for that to happen on its own won’t help matters.

You might want to be more realistic about a financial decision. Tonight: Refuse to stand on ceremony.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to review what is being presented as a “financially secure” or “good” idea. You usually are able to see through others’ ruses. This period isn’t any different.

Use your ingenuity and resourcefulness. Tonight: Try a new role.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be thinking in terms of making a major change.

Hold off for a little while, and see if you still want to step away from the status quo. This type of behavior is very unlike you.

Think through your options before doing any- thing drastic. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to switch gears quickly because of news you hear.

Slow down before you jump to a conclusion. The unexpected runs through your day.

What happens in the morning could be very different from what happens in the evening.

Tonight: Take some time off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be out of sorts as you seek out a response from a friend. Stay calm, and you will see what arises, although it might not be to your liking. The good news is that you can still have a say in what happens. Tonight: Midweek celebration. Invite your friends along!

YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug. 26) This year you have a lot of good news heading your way. You might see certain matters differently from how you have in the past.

You have a way of that draws many people toward you.

You will make an impact. If you are single, you have the pick of the flock, or so it might seem. You will enjoy being a social butterfly. If you are attached, the two of you head in a new direction.

JACOB JAAP TUINMAN Born in 1941, passed away peacefully on August 22nd, with Francine Frisson, his wife of 25 years, by his side. He also leaves behind his sons Jaap (Charlotte), and Bryan, (Melody), and grandchildren Kai and Liron. Jaap is survived by his brothers Tiem and Jan, and sisters Fenny and Janneke.

A life-long educator, Jaap dedicated himself to over 40 years of dynamic contributions to educational agendas as teacher, administrator, and in governance at all levels of education: public school, college and university; as author, as consultant to educational publishers, to institutions and governments; as a contributor to forward-looking educational developments in traditional and distance/open education environments.

Born in Genemuiden, Holland, Jaap travelled the world. His career and passions took him from Holland, to Surinam, to the US and then to Canada, from BC (serving as Dean of Education at SFU) to Newfoundland (Vice-President Academic and Pro-Vice Chancellor at Memorial University of Newfoundland), back to BC (President, Open Learning Agency), and then to Gaborone Botswana, where he served as the UNESCO Chair in Open and Distance Learning, finally retiring to Nanaimo in 2007 amidst the nature and animals he loved.

Special mention to our close friend Sarah, whose compassion, support, and kindness to Jaap and the family meant the world to us all during his struggle with dementia.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or to the SPCA in Jaap’s name.

Celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Whitecaps won’t face Drogba, focused on Voyageurs Cup MONTE STEWART THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Didier Drogba’s toe injury snuffed out the opportunity to face a legend, but

the Vancouver Whitecaps still have a chance to make history in Wednesday’s second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship final.

Some young Whitecaps players were cherishing the chance to play against Drogba before the former Chelsea star was ruled out of the Montreal Impact line-
