Protesters coy regarding potential civil disobedience

SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

The City of Nanaimo is taking a wait-and-see approach to protests against construction work in Colliery Dam park, as residents oppose to the work hold a meeting this week to discuss the issue. Construction on the project is expected to begin after Sept. 1, after council voted to build a new auxiliary spillway at the lower Colliery dam to address safety concerns and regulatory concerns with the structure. However, some residents have threatened civil disobedience to prevent construction of the spillway to prevent parts of the park from being cleared to make way for the new addition. Harewood resident Dave Cutts, who has been involved in other protests across the province, told council in July he and others were willing to camp out in the park to prevent work from going ahead. The city had previously sought an injunction against Cutts and other Nanaimo residents

after they had indicated they would disrupt a previous plan to remove the Colliery dams entirely. Cutts was vague when asked Wednesday what he and other potential protesters had planned. “I’m meeting with my core (group) on Friday and there will be a news release going out after that,” he said. He declined to say how many people were ready to take part in protesting in the park, adding: “Basically we want to keep our cards close to our chest.” “This is not a friendly fight

we’re in,” he later said. The city has posted a notice on its website outlining areas under city bylaw where residents can be ticketed for certain actions in the park. The notice also warns that charges under criminal or provincial statutes are a possibility in some scenarios. City bylaw manager Randy Churchill said there would be an effort to provide warnings before ticketing some residents, but said the city’s response depends on whatever happens at the park. He said seeking a new injunction on protesters would have to be approved by council, if that step is taken at all. Mayor Bill McKay said residents have their rights to protest and freedom of expression, but added: “I’m of the view that we need to take whatever steps are necessary to complete the work that has been ordered by the province.” Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

A body found floating in the water by kayakers on Aug. 19 has been confirmed by the B.C. Coroners Service as that of missing teen Delores (Dee Dee) Brown of Penelakut Island. The cause of Brown’s death has not yet been determined, but details of the investigation have led police to believe it is the result of foul play. Police will continue to pursue a criminal investigation into Brown’s death. She was last seen on July 27 when she was headed to her grandmother’s house in Chemainus. She was reported missing to police two days later. “It was completely out of character, no contact with family and not a pattern ever in the past for doing something similar, so that raised their concern right away,” said Cpl. Darren Lagan, Island District RCMP spokesman. An earlier RCMP release stated that Brown left her phone, iPod and wallet behind in her bedroom. After an extensive search which included civilian volunteers, members of ground and marine search and rescue, RCMP tactical troops, helicopters and boats, kayakers out near Norway Island just northeast of Penelakut found Brown’s body and informed Ladysmith RCMP. The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit notified the Brown family that the body had been identified on Tuesday. “There was a meeting last night and their request was that there be no more media interviews,” said Denise James, a spokeswoman for the Brown family. “Funeral arrangements are underway now.” On Aug. 20, rescue volunteers hosted a cultural day of healing on Penelakut. Penelakut is home to approximately 300 residents. Policing for the Island, known until 2010 as Kuper Island, is

“Crime in general for the island is very rare. It’s overall a very safe community.” Darren Lagan, RCMP spokesman

overseen by Ladysmith RCMP. Brown was described as “shy” by James, natural resources advisor to the Penelakut tribe, who added it was unlikely a stranger would convince her to put her herself at risk of harm. James said while she doesn’t know Brown well — the 19-yearold is younger than James’s youngest daughter — everyone knows each other on Penelakut. “Crime in general for the island is very rare. It’s overall a very safe community,” said Lagan. “It’s very close-knit as well, so that makes the impact even more profound on them.” Any further information or tips on the death of Delores Brown can be made to the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-2452215 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Back-to-school time can be chaotic for big families

Board agrees to buy lots on Gabriola

Weeks leading up to fall a ‘chaotic time’ of spending money, organizing youngsters

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

he weeks before the beginning of school are among the busiest of the year for Natasha Friesen. Friesen is a mother of five children,with four heading to classes at Nanaimo Christian School in September, and another in pre-school. The family’s school-age children range from her eldest son, in Grade 12 this year, to a son in Grade 2 and a set of twins in Grade 1. Friesen said she typically begins preparing for the beginning of the school year about three weeks before classes begin. She acknowledges it is a “chaotic time” of spending money and organizing youngsters more interested in taking full advantage of their dwindling summer vacation time than facing the reality that it’s almost time to hit the books again. “There’s no doubt that it’s stressful,” said Friesen, who works part-time as a property manager from her home. “It’s the time of the year when our lives begin to really ramp up after a summer of fun and no schedules. But when you have a large family like my husband

and I have, you learn to expect a level of chaos in most things.” Friesen said she had begun the arduous task of school shopping with her children for the year and she typically budgets approximately $300 per child just on new clothing and shoes. She said she brings her mother along on the shopping trips to provide “another set of hands” to help the family through the difficult process. “It gets harder as they get

older because the kids begin to have their own opinions about the colours and styles of the clothing they want to wear,” Friesen said. “It can really get time-consuming.” Friesen said the next expense is school supplies, including pens, pencils, rulers, binders and other school necessities, which typically totals approximately $150 per child. That doesn’t include electronic equipment like laptop

computers. “Fortunately, only our oldest son is in a high enough grade to need a computer, and the one he uses cost us $1,200, but we know that it will get expensive when our younger children get to those grades as well,” she said. With many of Friesen’s children intending to join soccer and swimming teams this year, there’s also the time and expense of buying the cleats, shin pads and other required equipment. She said the registration fees and equipment can amount to almost $200 per child. “But besides all the expenses and the time it takes to get everyone organized, I really look forward to the kids heading back to school and following regular schedules,” Friesen said. “I won’t be in charge of their entertainment every day anymore and our lives will fall into regular routines once again. It will give me a chance to collect my thoughts and focus more time on my other work. It’s certainly a crazy time of year, but it’s also a lot of fun.”

DAILY NEWS

The Regional District of Nanaimo is considering a new recreation property on Gabriola Island. The regional board approved an agreement to buy three lots on Paisley Place, adjacent to Gabriola Elementary School, from Emcon Services, for up to $455,000. The sale will require voter approval to borrow the money to buy the land. A referendum is being considered in early 2016. “These lands have excellent potential for recreation use in an accessible location, and I would like residents to have the opportunity to consider them,” said Howard Houle, RDN Electoral Area B (Gabriola) director. The three affected lots are beside Gabriola Elementary School. Zoned for institutional use, together, they occupy 8.5 acres (3.4 hectares), and are part of a subdivision that includes a small park. Emcon tried unsuccessfully to rezone the subdivision to residential. Institutional zoning allows for public assembly, recreation, and government office use. The agreement passed by the regional board requires the RDN to get voter approval to borrow the money before March 27. Over 20 years, borrowing costs are estimated at $32,000 per year, which would add approximately $4 per $100,000 of assessed value for a residential taxpayer. If the referendum passes, the RDN would consult islanders to develop a management plan to find best uses for the property.

FERRIES

Fares reduced by 50 per cent on select sailings DAILY NEWS

Ferry users get to ride for halfprice next month. From Sept. 8 to Oct. 15, regular passenger fares will be reduced by 50 per cent Monday through Thursday on select mid-day sailings and on Saturday afternoon and evening sailings. From Oct. 1 to 31, regular passenger fares will be discounted by 50 per cent on all

northern route sailings. “While we are uncertain how long this current growth in traffic will last, this promotion allows us an opportunity this fall to test variable pricing concepts in order to understand their impact on traffic trends, customer responses, and operations,” said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries’ President and CEO, in a press release. Affected routes are: Metro

Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast, Southern Gulf Islands and the Northern Gulf Islands, in either direction. Northern routes include: the Inside Passage; Haida Gwaii; Discovery Coast Connector and Skidegate-Alliford Bay, either direction. Travel on Thanksgiving is not half-price. The reductions also apply for seniors fares, which are half of regular fares.

The company says strong first-quarter results make the discounts possible. Net earnings of $18.8 million were reported in the three months ending June 30, up from $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. According to BC Ferries, passenger traffic increased five per cent and vehicle traffic increased 4.7 per cent compared to the first quarter of last year.

Importance of VIEX can’t be underestimated

lose to 20,000 people paid a visit to the annual Vancouver Island Exhibition at Beban Park on the

weekend. The annual fair, which has now wrapped up its 121st year overcame a windstorm early Friday morning to put on its usual fine show. Stephen Kass, manager of fair operations, told the Daily News “we’re extremely happy with this year’s fair and we’re already planning meetings to begin preparations for next year.” He also said the VIEX had its best turnout in 10 years on Sunday for its events and entertainment on the fair’s final day. That’s great news. We shouldn’t underestimate

the importance of events like the VIEX. In today’s instant gratification world, it’s nice to remember how things used to be. To actually get outside, see live animals, check out the handiwork of your neighbours and even eat some fried food and go on a ride or two. How many of us out there have actually milked a cow? As each generation passes, that number is surely dwindling. Maybe watching Netflix or playing on your iPad means you aren’t into embroidery or making preserves — but that doesn’t mean we should lose touch with those things. And, as always, the VIEX has a big-picture importance as well. The VIEX recognizes the

farmers and their families who toil daily to give us the milk we drink, the meat we barbecue and the vegetables we eat. That should always be the heart of the fair. As we’ve pointed out, eggs don’t come from a carton and meat doesn’t come from plastic wrapped packages. In today’s pre-packaged, frozen, microwavable world, we can forget that. It’s always important for all of us to see some of the work children in 4-H do and the products their families help produce that end up on our table. The fair brings people from across the Island to Nanaimo and many of them come to look at the agricultural products grown and raised here. As farming changes and the

Island becomes more urban, the VIEX keeps alive the notion of family farms and encourages the education of the past, present and future of agriculture on Vancouver Island. That education is far more important than cotton candy. It’s why we’d like to see further upgrades, either at the fairgrounds themselves, or a new location (the Cowichan Exhibition successfully made its transition from downtown Duncan to its spiffy new fairgrounds a few years back). VIEX officials have long sought to create a Vancouver Island Agricultural Centre built at Beban Park, to replace four aging barns on the property, all nearing the tail end of their usefulness.

That’s a huge drawback since they can’t be used for yeararound activities. Cost for the new facility approached $2 million four years ago. We should remain hopeful the project remains on the radar. An agricultural centre would be a strong investment in our future. As much fun as it is to get out, check out the musical talents, grab a hot dog and a lemonade and take a spin on the Tilt-AWhirl just for kicks, the VIEX represents so much more. It’s important it receives our continues support and has a chance to continue to grow. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

Is British Columbia really burning? Not really

n a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003. While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer. You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was

Tom Fletcher Black Press above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that. Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel

more fires. The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection. This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff. Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned

that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

A new provincial poll suggests the Green Party is in second place to the NDP on Vancouver Island in terms of popular support.

The Greens trail at 12 per cent. On Vancouver Island, the Greens sit at 32 per cent, seven points behind the NDP. The Liberals and Conservatives are behind at 15 per cent each.

ISLAND NEWS Black Press news service ◆ COWICHAN

Hockey coach arrested, charged with burglary

Well-known Cowichan Valley hockey coach and former NHL player Dale Purinton was arrested in New York state last week and charged with first-degree burglary after the alleged assault of a man in the village of Sylvan Beach. According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, an investigation into the incident “indicated that Purinton broke into a residence and caused physical injury to the sole occupant in the residence” on Aug. 12. He fled the scene and the victim was taken to hospital in nearby Utica. The 38-year-old Purinton was arrested last Wednesday and remanded to jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or a $50,000 bond. He posted bail and was released on Friday and is “due back in court in a later date.” Purinton had been the head coach of the Junior B Kerry Park Islanders since 2012. He was released from that position last Thursday, with the team in the middle of training camp.

◆ COMOX

Warrant issued for doctor in missing children case Investigators from the Comox Valley RCMP, supported by provincial and RCMP officers in Canada and abroad, have completed significant investigative work aimed at locating four missing children from the Comox Valley. Cpl. Darren Lagan, RCMP Island District spokesman said since receiving initial details on Aug. 15, work has included extensive communication with international law enforcement partners and INTERPOL, obtaining and executing a search warrant in the Comox Valley. According to a public crowd sourcing campaign, Dr. Salahaddin Mahmudi Azer (Saren), a Comox Valley resident, left the country with his four children. INTERPOL has identified the four children as Sharvahn Delahn Mahmudi-Azer, 11, Rojevahn Beritan Mahmudi-Azer, 9, Dersim Baran Mahmudi-Azer, 7, and Meitan Serbast Mahmudi-Azer, 3. Lagan said investigators are taking steps to restrict further

international travel by the father and children. If you have any information on the location of Saren Mahmudi Azer or his four children, contact your local police force, or the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.

All family members managed to get out of the fire. One person suffered minor burns to his wrist. And while all are safe, the family did not have time to grab any personal belongings or spare clothing, said Pacheedaht band manager Chris Hopkins. The house was destroyed by fire.

A family out for the maiden voyage of its new boat avoided injury but lost the craft Sunday afternoon when it went up in flames off the shore of McIvor Lake. The small pleasure craft, outfitted with an inboard-outboard motor combination, burst into flames as the owner attempted to start it just after putting it in the water at the public boat launch around 12:45 p.m. “He went to start it, and you see flames right away,” said Glenn Svensson, who was waiting in queue to put his own boat into the lake. “He slams down the hatch and jumps out, and the next thing, he’s standing in the water trying to push it out from shore.” Svensson said the man was accompanied by his wife, who was in the truck that had just backed the boat trailer into the water, and two daughters. “His daughters were screaming, ‘Daddy, get away from the boat!’” Svensson said. More than a dozen spectators looked on from the shore or from other boats on the water as Svensson and other witnesses flagged

While the site has been identified as preferred, the purchase of 6751, 6771 and 6793 Bell McKinnon Rd. is subject to rezoning to permit a hospital use, and moreover, the site must meet the approval of Island Health. Lefebure said the latter shouldn’t be an issue as the health authority has been working together with the CVRHD over the course of the selection process.

Canada’s doctors stopped short of advocating for mandatory vaccinations for children Wednesday, calling instead for parents to provide proof to school officials that their children have been vaccinated. A resolution passed at the Canadian Medical Association’s annual general meeting in Halifax called on governments to authorize elementary and secondary schools to require parents to declare their child’s immunization status. The resolution also called for public health officials to have discussions with parents if their children are inadequately immunized. “I want to stress that the proposal does not call for mandatory vaccination, but rather an approach that allows appropriate public health measures to protect vulnerable children in the event of an infectious disease outbreak,” CMA president Cindy Forbes said. Ontario and New Brunswick are the only provinces that currently require immunization records when a child is being registered for school.

Lucas committed to the team soon after, but still needs to earn a spot on a Clippers club that went to the B.C. Hockey League final last season, but still needs to add talent at forward. He arrives in Nanaimo, though,

After a seven-point road loss to the Kamloops Broncos (3-2) on Saturday, the Vancouver Island Raiders (3-2) have slipped to No. 5 in the Canadian Junior Football League’s weekly Top 5 rankings. They were ranked fourth last week.The Broncos, whose Saturday win was their first ever against the Raiders, are unranked. The undefeated Okanagan Sun (5-0) are the only other B.C. Football Conference team in the rankings, coming in at No. 2. The defending national champion Saskatoon Hilltops (2-0) top the rankings while the Regina Thunder (2-0) are ranked third. The Calgary Colts, led by former Raiders head coach Matt “Snoop” Blokker, are ranked fourth. Now at the halfway point of the season, the Raiders host the winless Valley Huskers on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park. The Huskers, who finished in last place a year ago, haven’t been competitive in any game this season as they have been outscored 299-34 in five games. They most recently lost 66-3 to the Sun, while they’re most competitive contest was a 45-14 road loss to the Westshore Rebels.

remains living in Nanaimo. Lucass’ grandfather, Ray, is a former part-owner of the team. Lucas spent two or three weeks in Nanaimo most summers growing up, but this year he hopes to stick around a lot longer. “It’s pretty fast-paced up here already,” Lucas said Wednesday after the Clippers second of four training camp scrimmages at Frank Crane. “I can tell it’s pretty serious. The practices are tough every day — I’m pretty sore right now. “It’s been tough.” After playing as a 17-year-old

anaimo Clippers prospect Lucas Finner showed up at Frank Crane Arena for training camp this week with a familiar name — once that’s already graced jerseys there twice. Both Lucas’ father, Todd, and uncle, Dwain, played for the Clippers in the late 1980s, and the five-foot-nine forward out of Elmhurt, Ill., is attempting to be the third Finner to don the black and orange. “Right now, I’m just hoping to make the team, and I’ll see how it goes from there,” Lucas said. “It’s kind of cool to come up here and try to play for the Clippers.” In 1988-89, Todd had a dominant year with the Clippers scoring 39 goals with 71 assists in 58 games with a Nanaimo team that lost in the B.C. Junior Hockey League quarter-final to the Powell River Paper Kings. He then went on to play four seasons at the University of Illinois-Chicago, and now lives in Illinois with his family. “He’s taught me since I was three years old,” Lucas said of his dad. “He taught me how to skate and everything I’ve learned is basically from him, so he’s been a pretty big influence.” Uncle Dwain was also a member of the 1988-89 Clippers, and

with something in hand many of his peers don’t — a college scholarship waiting for him in 2017-18 at Ferris State University, an NCAA Div. I school in Michigan. Lucas met with Ferris assistant coach Drew Famulak after a game in Michigan last season and, after a visit to the school, made his commitment. That gives him two seasons to prepare himself for the rigours of college hockey — two seasons he would like to be spent in Nanaimo. “This year, I want to grow physically and get used to the speed of the game, because it really increases in junior hockey,” Lucas said, “and I also want to play for a championship here in the BCHL.” The Clippers have two days left of training camp with icetimes today at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and a scrimmage today at 3 p.m. The camp culminates Friday with the annual Rhodesie Cup intrasquad game at 6 p.m. at Frank Crane, with the first cuts coming after that. The Clippers then play their first exhibition game Saturday night on the road against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Their first home pre-season game is on Wednesday against the Victoria Grizzlies at 7 p.m.

Whitecaps beat Impact for the Amway Cup title

Sponsored by

BLONDOR

Octavio Rivero and Tim Parker scored as the Vancouver Whitecaps won their first Voyageurs Cup with a 2-0 victory over the Montreal Impact in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship on Wednesday. Vancouver took the two-game series 4-2 on aggregate against the Impact, who had won the Canadian championship the past two years. The two teams played to a 2-2 first-leg draw on Aug. 12 in Montreal. Rivero opened the scoring in the 39th minute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; booting the ball home a split second before Christian Techeraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot would have crossed the goal-line anyway. The goal spoiled a sensational effort by Montreal goalkeeper Eric Kronberg after he stopped Techera from point-blank range and then got back into position to stop the Whitecap speedsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second attempt.

Encarnacion, Jays beat up Texas SCHUYLER DIXON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Edwin Encarnacion turned David Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th birthday into a party â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a win for Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new ace. Encarnacion hit a grand slam to extend his hitting streak to 21 games, boosting Price when he was pitching on his birthday for the first time in the majors and helping the Blue Jays to a 12-4 victory against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. The right-handed slugger pulled a pitch into the Toronto bullpen in left-centre for his 26th homer after Kevin Pillar opened a six-run sixth inning with a long ball that chased Texas starter Colby Lewis (14-6). Lewis issued four of a season-high 11 walks by Rangers pitchers. Price (13-4) threw five scoreless innings after allowing Adrian Beltreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run homer in the first. While he was still struggling in the third, he got help

MAHAN

on a spectacular, leaping catch at the wall in left field by Ben Revere that saved a run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After we got out of that inning, I told him thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands down the best birthday gift that I had ever received,â&#x20AC;? Price said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a coin flip between that and 12 runs.â&#x20AC;? The AL East-leading Blue Jays won their fifth straight, while the Rangers dropped a half-game behind Minnesota in the race for the second AL wild card. Jose Bautista walked four times

and scored twice as Toronto went two games up in the division on the New York Yankees, who lost 6-2 to Houston. The Astros moved 5 1/2 games ahead of Texas atop the AL West. Lewis threw two of three wild pitches by the Rangers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both during a 10-pitch at-bat that ended with former Texas player Justin Smoakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run homer to break a 2-all tie in the fifth inning. Smoakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th long ball hit off the facade of the upper deck in right field and extended Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise record to 16 straight road games with a homer. Encarnacionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second grand slam of the season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both against the Rangers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the eighth of his career ended a stretch of six straight batters reaching to start the sixth. Pillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth homer was one of his three hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for Eddie to break out in a big way,â&#x20AC;? manager John Gibbons said.

Gold medalists Celia Leaf and Isabella Bortolotto, members of the Nanaimo Minor Baseball Association helped the Team B.C. 14U selects female baseball team at the western Canadian championships in Yorkton, Sask. this past weekend bring home gold after defeating team Alberta by a score of 14-2 in the final. Team B.C. went undefeated over the weekend in matches against Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. [SUBMITTED]

East cashed two clubs and switched to a diamond for the queen and king. East ruffed the return of the deuce of hearts and played a third club. South trumped with the jack of spades and played off the top trumps but the queen did not fall and the contract was down one, N-S -50. South was very unlucky not to win eight tricks. The diamond king was offside, spades were 4-2 and East held the singleton ace of hearts. A third round diamond ruff would permit access to dummy but, after successfully passing the ten of spades, he could only return to hand by trumping a club. West would overruff the spade seven with the eight and deliver another heart ruff. North’s 1NT response was forcing for one round but, when he offered a spade preference which revealed three-card support with a weak hand or a doubleton spade with a ceiling of about 9 HCP, South rejected a try for game by rebidding 2NT. North would pass in an instant but eight tricks will be available on this layout. West wins the diamond lead to play another as North drives out the ace of hearts. East must cash three clubs or declarer will bring home nine tricks with the favorable lie of the spade suit. East’s silence had been rewarded by a plus score.

Fired reporter films killing of colleagues

Judge sentences shooter to life in prison

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONETA, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A TV reporter and cameraman were shot to death on live television Wednesday by their former colleague, a journalist who also recorded himself carrying out the killings and then posted the video on social media. The gunman, who was fired in 2013 from WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia, fled the scene and went online, posting the video on Facebook and Twitter. He also reportedly faxed a 23-page manifesto and â&#x20AC;&#x153;suicide noteâ&#x20AC;? to ABC News, describing himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;human powder kegâ&#x20AC;? that was â&#x20AC;&#x153;just waiting to go BOOM!!!!â&#x20AC;? Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, who appeared on WDBJ as Bryce Williams, had evidently been planning the attack for some time, authorities said. As he fled, he switched vehicles, picking up a rental car he had previously reserved at an airport. Troopers caught up with him hours later and hundreds of miles away

PARKER

after he fatally shot himself and ran off the road. The live spot by reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward was nothing out of the ordinary: They were interviewing a local official at an outdoor shopping mall for a tourism story. Then, at about 6:45 a.m., morning show viewers saw her suddenly scream and run, crying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my God,â&#x20AC;? as she fell. Ward fell, too, and the camera he had been holding on his shoulder captured a fleeting image of the

suspect holding a handgun. WDBJ quickly switched back to the anchor at the station, her eyes large and jaw dropping as she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK, not sure what happened there.â&#x20AC;? The station later went live again, reporting on their own staff as the story developed. Parker and Ward died at the scene after the gunman fired about 15 shots. Their interview subject, Vicki Gardner, was in stable condition later Wednesday after surgery for her wounds. Video posted on Bryce Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Twitter account and Facebook page hours later showed an outstretched arm holding the handgun. The shooter walked up to the victims and stood a few feet away, but with all three in the midst of the live TV interview, none seemed to notice. The gunman waited until Wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camera was pointed at Parker, and then fired repeatedly. Flanagan was described by Jeffrey Marks, WDBJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and general manager as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;an

unhappy manâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;difficult to work with,â&#x20AC;? always â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking out for people to say things he could take offence to.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him. He did not take that well,â&#x20AC;? Marks explained, adding that police had to escort him out of the station when he was fired. Ward, 27, was engaged to a producer at the station, Melissa Ott, who was celebrating her last day on the job. Parker, 24, had recently moved in with another co-worker, WDBJ anchor Christ Hurst. Hurst wrote online that they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shared their relationship publicly but â&#x20AC;&#x153;were very much in love.â&#x20AC;? He said they had just moved in together and wanted to get married. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am numb,â&#x20AC;? he said. Parker was raised in the Martinsville, Virginia, area and joined the station as an intern after attending James Madison University.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Belittled by the judge and jeered by spectators, James Holmes was sent to prison for the rest of his life Wednesday, while the survivors of his murderous attack on a Colorado movie theatre wondered aloud how they would spend the rest of their days. Judge Carlos A. Samour sentenced Holmes to the maximum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 12 consecutive life terms without parole plus 3,318 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then made a final, contemptuous order: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheriff, get the defendant out of my courtroom, please.â&#x20AC;? Samour described Holmes as an angry quitter who gave up on life and turned his hatred into murder and mayhem against innocent strangers. Survivors and victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members in the gallery cheered, and someone shouted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loser!â&#x20AC;? as deputies took Holmes away. The long, gruelling trial came to its formal conclusion three years and 37 days after Holmes murdered 12 people and tried to kill 70 more during a midnight showing of the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have gone to bed knowing that endurance and hard work would be on the menu today. You quickly will discover that networking mixed with your original ideas is a recipe for success. Add some extra zest to the mix. Tonight: Take a stand when making plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might question whether you have done enough background work as you forge ahead on a major project. Unfortunately, you might not be able to backtrack. Choose to follow your instincts. Others trust your judgment, so why shouldn’t you? Tonight: Plan on a late bedtime. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will need to understand what has happened behind the scenes before you jump to any conclusions. A situation doesn’t have the implications you might think it does. Try not to exclude a possibility that you have not yet considered. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to consider several options that you have discounted in the past. When you revisit these ideas, you could be surprised by how workable one is. If you like it, don’t hesitate to make this concept a reality. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be in a situation where you want to say a lot, but you are not the lead person. Note

how this person handles others; he or she could have a total- ly different way of doing things. Don’t worry — your time will come. Tonight: Go off and start planning your weekend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to news more carefully, and understand your role in getting a project done. Meanwhile, take some time to schedule an important appointment for yourself. In this period of high energy, you need to take good care of yourself. Tonight: Let the party begin. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be delighted by something unexpected that takes place. If you are single, someone will catch your eye. Be aware that this person might not be everything he or she seems to be. Time is your ally. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will be able to avoid a touchy, difficult situation by lying low, which is something you tend to do well. Make it OK to have what you consider to be a “trivial conversation.” The wise Scorpio will keep any opinions to him- or herself. Tonight: Make a favorite meal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will find the right words for any situation. However, someone is likely to keep bothering you for more information or your opinion, and before you know it, you will be dragging. Touch base with a loved one early in the day. Tonight: Hang out at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You seem to be all smiles, yet there is a topic you are not discussing. You could be on

the verge of doing something very out of character for you. Although you might not want to share now, you might later. Use caution in choosing your words. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are on fire. You have a lot on your mind, yet somehow you will be capable of covering all your bases. You could be feeling a bit awkward dealing with a particular person. This new element of discomfort might surprise you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be exhausted by everything going on around you. Question your choices, and know that you could break this pattern. In fact, what is stopping you? Be willing to change what is no longer working for you. Tonight: In the limelight. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27) This year others will remark about an odd coldness that seems to emanate from you. You will be very much in your head. You will have many occasions where you can choose to be happy, but whether you decide to follow through will be your choice. If you are single, you will be very popular. Your aloofness could draw many people toward you. If you are attached, your sweetie sees right through your cool behavior. Still, you both will enjoy your time together more if you can loosen up some. AQUARIUS makes a great friend. BORN TODAY Actor Aaron Paul (1979), former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson (1908), dog trainer Cesar Millan (1969).

Ex-reality star enters rehab after admitting to pornography addiction

SOUTHGATE PLAZA #115 -50 Tenth Street

GRAND OPENING Saturday, August 29

Locally Owned & Operated 250-591-0355

NEW YORK (AP) — Days after he confessed to cheating on his wife and an addiction to pornography, Josh Duggar has entered rehab. The ex-reality star checked himself into a longterm treatment centre, according to his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Their announcement Wednesday on the family’s website did not specify the nature or duration of treatment, nor did it identify the facility. But the statement spoke of “a long journey toward wholeness and recovery.” “We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change,” his parents said, adding they are “deeply grieved” by his actions.

Confusion erupts over wedding plans Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I am a 27-year-old woman and have been verbally invited to a few weddings this year. For one, we were told to “save the date” a year in advance. I never received an actual invitation and their wedding was last weekend. The pictures are popping up on Facebook. The second wedding, the bride and I were close, then had a falling out, then sort of made up and she expressed verbally that she wanted me to attend her wedding. I have dinner with her every few months, but neither of us has made a big effort to spend more time together. Her wedding is coming up soon. Last month, I saw her “save the date” photos pop up on Facebook, but I did not receive one personally, nor have I received an invitation. Am I required to attend? I honestly don’t want to. The third invitation is for a couple that I am good friends with. The groom recently texted that he expects me to be at their wedding in September, but I have not received any “save the date” or invitation yet. The bride made a Facebook page last year and said if people wanted to come, we should send her our addresses. Should I send her my address now or is it too late? I originally thought it was just for her family. Is everything done on Facebook now? Does no one send out paper invitations or keep a guest list? What is my responsibility when a person verbally expresses that I should attend, or posts something on Facebook saying I should “come to the wedding”? — Invitationally Challenged Dear Challenged: We can understand your confusion. Paper invitations are still appro-

priate. A “save the date” notice is not an invitation. A verbal expression is not an invitation. Facebook notices are unreliable and informal, but if the bridal couple considers this an invitation, you may, also. And someone who says, “Send me your address if you want to be invited,” is too lazy to acquire your address and send a personal invitation. She expects her guests to do all of the work. But if you want to send her your address, even at this late date, that is entirely up to you. And of course, if you don’t wish to attend a wedding, it’s perfectly OK to RSVP with your regrets. Dear Annie: This is regarding the letter from “Outraged Mother,” whose birthmother was reposting pictures of her children on Facebook without permission. The one suggestion you didn’t mention is to drop social media and share photos via text with close friends only. I assure you my life became much better after I did exactly that. Social media was fun for a short time, but then it seemed to become a competition about who had the better lives, then a way to communicate passively, and then I watched marriages get destroyed. Some things are meant to be private. (Love your column.) — J. Dear J.: Not too many people are willing to disconnect from social media once they have learned to depend on it for updates about friends and family. We commend your self-discipline.
