Storm could cause water woes Nanaimo officials issue drinking-water notice following report regarding weather-pattern change DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Officials are bracing for a possible impact on Nanaimo’s water quality this weekend from a major weather system looming over southern B.C. Heavy rain has the potential to cloud normally clear drinking water, which could lead to a boil water advisory. City of Nanaimo waterworks officials issued a notice on Friday, after Environment Canada alerted the public about a “major

change in the weather pattern,” following a prolonged summer drought. Nanaimo’s drinking water comes from the south fork of the Nanaimo River. During drought, the forest floor becomes littered with dust and debris. “If you douse that with heavy rain, you’re going to get excess stuff carried into the water supply,” said Bill Sims, City of Nanaimo manager of water resources. Chlorination may not completely kill the microbes that pose a

health threat, especially for seniors, youngsters and others with a weakened immunity. “There is certainly a higher risk of pathogens and bacteria getting into the water and there’s a risk that disinfection will not be as effective,” Sims said. Past heavy rain events, usually in winter, have taught city officials that storms can affect water quality. For most people, it’s more of an inconvenience than a threat, but if residents notice a brown colour they should

check with local media sources or online to see if a boil advisory has been issued, Sims said. Two storms converged over southern B.C. Friday, merging two jet streams into a single river of sub-tropical moisture that bathed the south B.C. coast with the first significant rainfall in months. Forecasts call for between 80 to 120 millimetres of rain through Monday morning. “What’s most significant about this weather pattern, it’s going to stick around for quite a while,”

said Lisa Coldwells, Environment Canada meteorologist. Today’s forecast calls for 20-30 mm of rain in Nanaimo, a high of 18 C, showers and a low of 13. Periods of rain are forecast through Wednesday.

HEALTH

Resolution calls for vaccination declaration DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

I

sland Health’s experience quickly identifying which children were immunized during last year’s measles epidemic helped direct a national call this week for better systems to track childhood immunization records, says Nanaimo’s top doctor. A resolution passed at the Canadian Medical Association’s annual general meeting in Halifax this week calls for governments to require parents to declare if their children are vaccinated before they enter the public school system. Because Island children are vaccinated at public health clinics, the information is readily available, says Dr. Paul Hasselback, central-Island medical health officer for Island Health. “In Nanaimo, almost all immunizations for children are provided by the health unit and goes into electronic databases, so we have information on all children,” Hasselback said. “I think that led to what the CMA was discussing at their annual meeting.” The national resolution by doctors stops short of making vaccinations mandatory, but instead calls for parents to provide proof children have been vaccinated. Hasselback said some provinces do a better job of tracking children’s health records, and even within B.C., some systems work » Use your smartphone to jump to our website for updates on these stories or the latest

better than others at making the information available when it is needed quickly, such as during last year’s measles outbreak. “It only took us a very small space of time to get a list of who was in school and cross-link that with our database so we knew who was fully immunized, and treated everyone else as if they haven’t been, unless parents could provide documentation. “It all happened very quickly – within 24 to 36 hours we had all the records.” In some parts of the province, doctors do childhood vaccinations, and the data is not as readily available. “We’re not in bad shape. That’s not necessarily the case across Canada,” Hasselback said. The exercise did uncover something else – a need for higher vaccination levels among Island school children. When 90 per cent of a population group is immunized, “herd immunization” will curb the spread of an outbreak. “The CMA resolution didn’t go as far as to say all children should be immunized when they go to school. We know that under-immunized children put others at risk (and) our immunization rates are coming down in some instances,” Hasselback said. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

Trade requires a range of skills from problem-solving to knowledge of forestry JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

T

he picture of a sweaty, exhausted firefighter silhouetted against an orange blaze has become an iconic image in this summer of bonedry conditions and record-high heat. The season is not yet over, and already more than 1,500 fires have raged across the province, with about 300,000 hectares burned. On Aug. 18, the provincial government pegged the cost of fighting B.C. wildfires at $200 million and B.C. Premier Christy Clark warned that amount could double by the end of the season. Though the images of hard-working men and women fighting fires in some of the province’s most remote regions offer an accurate depiction, they don’t tell the whole story of the job, says Xenius Damborg. Damborg says it’s not just about strength and courage. Forest firefighting requires skills ranging from an ability to problem-solve under pressure and assess the potential volatility of a situation, to an understanding of things like geography, forestry and soil composition. A Nanaimo resident when he’s not facing the heat, Damborg is an initial attack crew leader at the B.C. Wildfire Service in the Southeast Fire Centre. In his experience as a forest firefighter, Damborg, 40, has seen his share of hectic situations. And though this year has been intense, it’s not the busiest season he’s ever experienced. “The 2003 fire season was such a bad season provincially,� he said. “But this season still feels more intense because we’re having tons and tons of small fires, and these are all caused by lightning. And for me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a big fire or a small fire, I still have to do the same amount of work.� Much of this workload revolves around a much larger picture than what people see. Once a fire has been identified, operations are assigned to one of the Southeast’s six zones from their main office in Castlegar. Damborg then has to quickly gather his three-person crew and get to his primary attack base in Cranbrook. “That’s timed and monitored.

Ian D. Munroe was given a oneyear suspended sentence and a probation order for theft. He also received a suspended sentence for carrying a concealed weapon. Kevin M. Pahtayken was handed one day in jail for theft. Matthew J. D. Proulx received one day in jail and two years’ probation for failure to comply with a probation order. Proulx was sentenced on three separate counts of the same charge, and was also sentenced on one count of failing to comply with conditions of an undertaking or recognizance. David A. Thomas was handed 44 days in jail on a charge of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon. Thomas was also sentenced for possession of a break-in instrument.

“And for me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a big fire or a small fire, I still have to do the same amount of work.� Xenius Dambord, firefighter

So within 30 minutes I need to be leaving the base and en route to the fire,� he said. “Initially when I get on-scene I see the fire and I see its potential. We’re always thinking ahead — what’s this fire going to do in one, three, five hours? Where’s it going? “So we look at what fuels are adjacent to the fire, where is it going to burn into, and what resources are at risk? Is there a community? Is there massive infrastructure? Are there power lines, highways, or is it just going to burn up the mountainside into rocks?� he said. This assessment needs to happen within 10 to 15 minutes, he added. “Time is of the essence. Our motto forever has been hit hard,

hit fast. Success comes by getting to the fire when it’s still small,� he said. This pressure can be challenging, and the adrenaline that comes from it is intense. “When I have so many things on the go and when they’re kind of endless, one on top of the next on top of the next, I can start my day out at 10 o’clock in the morning and, like with the last fire I did, I can come off the fire at 9 o’clock at night and my entire day felt like one hour. “The whole day went by so fast it felt like I had just started it.� That kind of work attracts a certain kind of person. “(The adrenaline) is a major draw. This job attracts a lot of type-A personalities — high achievers, outgoing leaders, very active, fitness-oriented people. And the job is so complex it attracts a lot of very educated folks,� he said. Damborg himself grew up in Nanaimo and has traveled through 35 countries. He holds an undergraduate degree in anthropology. While residing in Denmark he completed a master’s degree

in maritime archaeology and specializes in excavating shipwrecks. He has also managed to complete his schooling debt-free, something he attributes to the accommodating atmosphere and seasonal nature of firefighting. In the winters, when not traveling, he returns to Nanaimo to spend time with friends and family. “I think with firefighting, a lot of people have a very two-dimensional understanding of fire in the environment and in nature,� he said. “You can’t just understand fire, you need to understand weather and terrain and topography, and when you complicate that by introducing human factors you are managing a crew and their safety, their fatigue and experience levels. Then I’m also working with helicopter pilots and they’re humans working in machines. “On so many levels, you’re responsible.� Julie.Chadwick @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4238

Van Wyck was also sentenced for a possession and trafficking offence and one count of resisting or willfully obstructing a peace or public officer. Angela J. Argyle received a 30-day conditional sentence for theft. Susan M. Blackburn received six months’ jail for failure to comply with a probation order. Diane Bonneteau was given a 12-month probation order for theft. Mac A. Caplette had a conditional sentence revoked and was ordered to serve 30 days in jail for a possession and trafficking offence.

Contractor selected to build auxiliary spillway for dam DAILY NEWS

A contractor has been selected to build an auxiliary spillway at the lower Colliery dam, as engineers scramble to complete designs for the work. Council will vote Monday on whether to approve the contract

with Copcan Contracting Ltd., one of four firms to submit proposals for the project. Because designs for the construction work have not been completed, companies did not submit bids. Instead, the submissions from each of the companies was

assessed on a point system, taking into accounts fees, qualifications, experience and other factors, said Toby Seward, acting general manager of community development and protective services for the city. Seward said it is not possible to wait until designs have been

completed before putting out a contract for tender, due to tight Nov. 15 deadline from the province to substantially complete construction. “We haven’t got to a point where we have completed documents for (contractors) to bid on,� Seward said.

“There’s no dollar figure for it, it’s cost-plus.� However, Seward said the city still expects the project’s total cost to come within the $2.8 million to $4.6 million projected cost. Construction work on the spillway is expected to begin on Sept. 15.

Fair taxation is more than playing percentages

W

hat do you think is a fair level of taxation? Ten per cent of your income? Twenty-five per cent? Fifty? Chances are good each of you came up with a different number. Chances are also good that number was based on a gut reaction, a personal comfort level that had nothing to do with the actual services your payment will help deliver for your family and your community. And that is the difficulty with tax debate: the disconnect between understanding what you pay for and what you get. According to a new study released by the Fraser Institute, 42.1 per cent of the “average Canadian family’s” income went to taxes while 36.6 per cent went

toward basic necessities like food and shelter. The right-wing think tank compares that to 1961 — when it was 33.5 per cent on taxes and 56.5 on necessities — and correctly questions whether Canadians are getting good value for their tax dollars. Unfortunately, we don’t know the answer. We do know that we appreciate the fact we are able to treat Mom’s tumour without having to take out a second mortgage. We like being able to drive from Woodgrove to Chase River at 90 kilometres per hour instead of weaving our mules around random pine trees in the Harewood Forest. It’s a good thing that our kids have chemistry labs and gymna-

siums and banks of computers to learn on instead of pieces of chalk and slate. But we also wonder how the $14.8 million the federal government spent promoting “Canada’s Economic Action Plan” nearly two years after it was over actually helped Canadians. We ask if the bureacrats we hire at $150,000 a year are really that much better than the ones we would get at $120,000. And that $11,000 junket to China proposed by Mayor Bill McKay? Given the public reaction, it’s probably a good thing that has been at least temporarily withdrawn. It all comes to down to accountability and value for our dollar. The trouble with the public sector is that it is so easy to wash

away your mistakes. If the Nanaimo Widget Company invested thousands in developing a lousy product that no one buys, the result is likely layoffs and cutbacks in other areas to balance the budget. If Nanaimo city council invests in a downtown conference centre no one uses, the result is likely reaching deeper into the public pocket to prop it up. It’s a mistake to equate public and private; private facilities exist to provide services that make money, public facilities exist to provide services that can’t make money. We don’t expect public officials to behave like CEOs. At the same time, those holding the public purse have to take great care in making sure every

cent they withdraw is going to benefit the community and/or Canadians as a whole. It would be wonderful if we had a checklist where we could dictate how much money we want to allocate to a given function on a service-to-service basis. Unfortunately the web of services is much too convoluted to make that practical. Instead, we hand over a fistful of cash to government and ask them to allocate it wisely. They can’t fall into the trap of reaching into the trough just because it’s easy. It’s not about playing percentages. It’s about what is best for communities. » We want to hear from you.

Vancouver Island Tory candidate Mark MacDonald’s team simply announced he will decline all invitations of debates, positions and questionnaires during the election campaign.

This sort of behaviour during an election is not how our country is supposed to work. Edward Collins Nanaimo

No more economic impact studies needed Nanaimo attracts tourists for three mains things — the Nanaimo bar, Nanaimo Bar Trail and our waterfront, expounded Tourism Nanaimo in its recent presentation to council. So, thankfully, no more costly economic impact studies, paid for

with taxpayer money, will need to be done. Its presidents says the tourism organization is focusing its $734,000 budget on marketing the city for what it has — not lobbying or promoting dreamt-up projects. While it would be nice if we had more attractions and a showcasing of our rich coal mining, logging and fishing history, we have what we have — and residents should not have their arms twisted to give tax-exemptions or have their taxes raised for every concocted pie-in-the-sky project that’s pitched. It is also great to hear the city’s two visitor centres are open on weekends and both are located in tourist-friendly, easily-accessible areas, the Bastion and Nanaimo Parkway. Kevan Shaw Nanaimo

Tories policy on debates not democratic I have long been puzzled by

Stephen Harper’s reluctance to participate in debates with other party leaders, especially those broadcast to the entire country. Speech writers, pamphlet writers, and producers of attack ads are no substitutes for politicians revealing and defending their plans in open debate. But I now understand Stephen Harper’s stance thanks to Glen McPherson, the campaign manager for Mark MacDonald, Conservative candidate for Nanaimo-Ladysmith. This was the Conservative response when Mark was asked if he would attend the All Candidates Meeting held by the Gabriola Island Ratepayers Association: “At this time we will decline all invitations of debates, positions and questionnaires during the election campaign. “Mark MacDonald, candidate, and the campaign team are focused on the issues of the Campaign, which will be highlighted in our printed materials. “When Mark becomes an elected official you are more than

welcome to contact his office, to discuss a variety of issues. “Please know your issue is not being singled out, rather no response will be given any group, party or individual on any of the issues raised by them.” In the Conservative scheme of things, apparently the voting public not only doesn’t need to know how Stephen Harper and his fellow candidates would fare in the unprotected spotlight of public debates we have to vote them into office to earn the right to ask them any questions. I don’t know what to call this policy, but it’s certainly not democratic. Edwin Turner Nanaimo Letters must include your hometown and a daytime phone number for verification purposes only.

VIU students have added busing options

Woodgrove hosts annual Scavenger hunt

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

A new express bus will add options for students to get to university quickly in September. From north Nanaimo, the No. 40 VIU Express bus will follow Uplands to Country Club, Bowen Road, then Wakesiah Drive to Vancouver Island University, before making the return trip north through downtown. That will give more VIU students the option to get to classes quickly, with regular service throughout the day and late into the evening. It’s among service improvements announced by Nanaimo Regional Transit this week, which take effect Sept. 6. The No. 1 Country Club route, the No. 25 ferry shuttle and the new No. 40 route are among changes to be rolled out by Regional Transit. After it leaves VIU, the No. 40 express route takes in the Prideaux Street interchange, returns north through downtown, before returning to Bowen Road, past Country Club Centre and back to Uplands Drive. It offers service every 10 to 15 minutes all day, from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. “The idea behind the 40, it

takes the north-end commercial and residential areas and it connects them via Uplands to downtown, via Bowen and VIU,” said Daniel Pearce, transit operations manager. The old No. 8 South/No. 9 North will be replaced by the No. 50 Woodgrove-downtown bus. The No. 15 express between Woodgrove and VIU via the Nanaimo Parkway remains in place. That bus runs most frequently at peak travel times. For ferry travellers, Country Club will be removed from the No. 25 ferry shuttle route. “We did get complaints that it shouldn’t go to Country Club,” Pearce said. Instead it will run between Departure Bay and downtown, and its schedule will be better synchronized to ferry arrival and departure times. A new numbering system tells riders which routes connect main terminals, such as Woodgrove, Prideaux and VIU, because they will all end in a zero (20, 30, 40 and 50). To see all service changes, visit www.rdn.bc.ca.

The annual Woodgrove Scavenger Hunt will take place in Woodgrove Centre on Sept. 2. The hunt is intended to raise awareness for the Give and Get Program, which provides assistance to people who participate

in tutoring but need financial assistance. Clues will be given through social media channels, as well as at locations in the centre, for the hunt, which runs from noon to 2 p.m. The hunt is an all-ages event

that can be done as a team or individually. It will end at the food court where hunters will gather and be awarded their prizes following the event. For information, email amber@amberscotchburn.com.

Minister says government focused on women’s issues

Union will fight for conservation officer

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

A conservation officer who defied his bosses and refused to euthanize two orphaned bear cubs is being pushed out of his job, says the union that represents him. Bryce Casavant won the hearts of animal lovers when he opted not to shoot the baby bears in July after their mother was destroyed for repeatedly raiding homes near Port Hardy. Casavant sent the cubs to a wildlife refuge instead. But the decision earned him a suspension with pay, and on Friday, Casavant was transferred out of the Conservation Officer Service. Stephanie Smith, president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union, said Casavant is shocked and disappointed by the move. “He takes his role as a steward of our natural resources and our wildlife very seriously,” Smith said. Jamie Edwardson, a spokesman for the B.C. Public Service Agency, said Casavant’s transfer was not a disciplinary action against him. He said Casavant was moved to an equivalent position at the same salary and would be offered any training he needs. “We value the contributions of all public service employees,”

Kellie Leitch says the federal Conservative government has passed more than 30 pieces of legislation to help ensure the safety of Canadians, including women and children. Leitch, Minister of Labour and of the Status of Women, said the government also continues to “increase investments” to local rape crisis centres across the country, and works closely with the Ending Violence Association of B.C. Organization. “One of the focal points of this government has been dealing with violence against women and children,” said Leitch, who visited Nanaimo on Friday. “As part of that, we’ve committed to addressing issues of violence against aboriginal women and girls in our National Action Plan and are investing $25 million over five years in programs to help deal with the issue.” Leitch was in the city campaigning with Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidate Mark MacDonald. Leitch defended Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision not to participate in a nationally televised leadership debate dealing with issues around women’s equality. She said NDP leader Tom Mul-

cair also has declined to participate in a debate dealing strictly with women’s issues. “As the minister for the status of women, I have been dealing with those issues during the election campaign, and I was on CBC earlier this week talking about the government’s plans and initiatives,” Leitch said. “I will continue to have that dialogue with Canadians.” As for what the Conservative government would do for Nanaimo-Ladysmith if they win

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.

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.

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.

Edwardson said. “We want all employees to be successful.” Smith disagreed that the transfer did not amount to punishment. “Officer Casavant was transferred out of his position as a conservation officer, a career path that he had chosen for himself. “So we believe that that is disciplinary.” The union will file a grievance against the move, in addition to a grievance already filed over Casavant’s original suspension in July, Smith said. “We believe that Officer Casavant was following prescribed policies and procedures when he made the decision not to kill the baby bears without doing a proper risk assessment.” Citing privacy, the union declined to say where Casavant was transferred but said his new job was still on northern Vancouver Island. The bears are now part of a rearing and release program for orphaned cubs after they were assessed as being in good health and not conditioned to humans. They are being cared for at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington and are scheduled to be released in a remote habitat sometime in 2016. The outcome shows Casavant made the right call, Smith said.

◆ VICTORIA

Body of diver identified as British police officer

A 52-year-old petty officer with CFB Esquimalt has been charged with possession of child pornography and assault. Few details have been released about the circumstances surrounding the charges, but Sooke RCMP opened a child pornography investigation on July 29. The accused turned himself in the following day in relation to the investigation. William Alan Goodfellow, of

A man found dead off a buoy at Race Rocks last week has been identified as Man (Timothy) Chu, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. Twenty-eight-year-old Chu was a police officer from London, England who was vacationing in the Victoria area. On July 5, he was on a charter

dive at Race Rocks near the eastern end of Juan De Fuca Strait when he was separated from the divemaster just before noon and failed to surface. On Aug. 23, a fisherman spotted Chu off a buoy at Race Rocks. The coroners service and RCMP continue to investigate. Foul play is not suspected.

Mars bomber will not have contract renewed The Hawaii Mars water bomber will not have its contract renewed

by the province, according to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “We appreciate the assistance of the Mars and its crews during this busy fire season,” said MFLNRO public affairs officer Greig Bethel. “[The] B.C. Wildfire Service has reviewed the anticipated weather over the next while, as well as expected requirements, and doesn’t believe it will need the Mars at this time.” The province had originally signed a $450,000 30-day deal with the Coulson Group for the use of the Hawaii Mars back on July 8. Each hour flight time also cost the

province $11,000 in fuel and flight costs.

SPORTS IN BRIEF Daily News

Hoover comes up big in camp finale Veteran, new addition were top scorers as Rhodesie Cup ends Clippers training camp asked of him on both ends of the ice. “Hopefully I can jump into the top six,” Hoover said. “You can’t be too picky with where you play, but obviously you want to score goals and help the guys on the offensive side. “I’m kind of a two-way guy so if Vandy needs to put me in the back-end situations, I can always help out on D, too.”

SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

A

s the annual Rhodesie Cup intrasquad game wrapped up Nanaimo Clippers training camp Friday night at Frank Crane Arena, third-year veteran Sheldon Rempal stole the show with a hat trick. But Nanaimo hockey fans know what Rempal, the Clippers top returning goal scorer, can do on the ice. However a new, and pleasant sight for Clipper fans Friday was that of Matt Hoover, who popped in two goals in the Rhodesie Cup, albeit in a losing effort — Team Black, led by Rempal, beat Team White 7-4. “It feels good to get a couple goals in right off the bat,” said Hoover, a 19-year-old traded in the summer from the Kingston Voyageurs in exchange for 20-year-olds Jacob Hanlon and Anthony Rinaldi. “We take this game pretty competitively even though it’s still in camp, so to score a couple goals, if your team loses, you can’t be happy with that.” Hoover, a forward out of Brantford, Ont., comes to Nanaimo with an NCAA scholarship commitment to Canisius College for next season. “I wanted to go back to Kingston,” Hoover said. “I had a great time there, but I finally came to the conclusion that it wasn’t the right spot for me . . . I heard a lot of great things about this program, so I couldn’t say no to coming out here.” He was traded for in part to

Exhibition games begin tonight in Port Alberni

help alleviate the Clippers roster crunch — they’re still two 20-year-olds over the league limit of six — but also to bring experience to a team that lost plenty of it after their run to the B.C. Hockey League final last season. Veteran forwards such as twoyear leading scorer Brendan Taylor, NHL draft pick Jacob Jackson and top centre Cole Maier are now preparing to play college hockey, and Hoover is one of the players that will be looked upon to replace them. He had 24 points in 47 points last season with a Kingston team that went to the Ontario Junior Hockey League final.

“I did a lot of homework before we traded for him,” said Clippers head coach and general manager Mike Vandekamp. “He’s an intelligent player and reliable at both ends of the rink. “He’s a good, smart sort of veteran-type guy that we needed down the middle. Tonight was nice to see him score to give him a lot of confidence, but he’ll just be expected to be a good, hard-working honest two-way player.” Hoover, like all players, wants to score goals. But he also understands the defensive aspects of the game and said he will do whatever is

The Rhodesie Cup, played each year in memory of former Daily News sports editor Michael Rhode, raised $946.35 Friday night for KidSport from admission donations. It marked the last of four intrasquad games for a training camp of 40 players, a few of whom will be sent home this morning. The rest, however, will begin exhibition play as the Clippers head to Port Alberni tonight to play the Alberni Valley Bulldogs for the first of five pre-season games. More cuts are expected to come Sunday morning. The Clippers also play on the road Tuesday in Victoria before playing their first home exhibition game Wednesday against the Victoria Grizzlies. “We’ve still got a lot of tough decisions to make,” Vandekamp said, “and the evaluation process will continue past tomorrow.” Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

◆ JUNIOR FOOTBALL

Second-place Raiders host winless Huskers The Vancouver Island Raiders (3-2) host the last-place Valley Huskers today at 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park. The Raiders are in a threeway tie with the Langley Rams and Kamloops Broncos for second place in the B.C. Football Conference. The Raiders hold the tie-breaker over the Broncos after splitting the season series with them, and are 1-0 against the Rams. The Huskers haven’t won a game since Sept. 27, 2014 and have been blown out in each of the 2015 games they have played — the closest they’ve come to a win was a 45-14 loss to the Westshore Rebels, the only other team not in the BCFC playoff picture. After this week’s game, the BCFC goes on its bye week and the week after that, the Raiders hit the road for Kelowna to try to be the first team to take down the unbeaten Okanagan Sun.

Whitecaps still have unfinished business

Former Isles coach Arbour dies at age 82

coach Carl Robinson. The Whitecaps (14-9-3) sit second overall and in the Western Conference, having won four of their past five games. Houston (8-10-8) is tied for eighth in the West but not far out of a top-six berth and playoff qualification. Although Saturday’s game is

Vancouver’s third in a week, Robinson will go mainly with regulars — as he did in the second leg of the Canadian championship final, when the Whitecaps blanked Montreal 2-0 to take the title 4-2 on aggregate. “There will be one or two changes, obviously, to the lineup, but the majority of guys want to play again,” said Robinson. “I think we’re in a rhythm at the moment.” David Ousted will start in goal despite hurting his leg in a collision with Vancouver central defender Tim Parker and Montreal midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker, an ex-Whitecap, on Wednesday. Ousted is not worried about a possible letdown in Houston after the Whitecaps’ emotional win at B.C. Place Stadium. “It was a good win, great to get

that cup for the fans and for the club, but we’re professionals,” said Ousted, who has posted 10 shutouts in league play. “There’s a game on Saturday now, and that’s where our focus (is).” An eight-game August schedule, which has included MLS, Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions League games, threatened to derail Vancouver’s title hopes. But the Caps have gone 5-0-1 in all competition this month. Their lone lapses came on the road as they squandered twogoal leads in a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Canadian final at Montreal and a 4-3 league loss at Sporting Kansas City. However, Ousted is confident that he and his teammates can survive the intense heat and humidity in Houston.

MONTE STEWART THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Now that Whitecaps have won their first Amway Canadian championship, they are hungry for more titles. The Whitecaps enter Saturday’s Major League Soccer road game against the Houston Dynamo looking to use Wednesday’s Voyageurs Cup triumph over the Montreal Impact as a catalyst for more success. A victory in Houston will improve the Whitecaps’ bid to get place first overall in the regular season, host a playoff game for the first time and contend for their first MLS Cup. “We carried the momentum (from recent strong play) into the game on Wednesday, which we won and got a positive result, and we’re looking to do the same on Saturday,” said Whitecaps

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug 29): This year you often see both sides of an argument. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on around you. In situations involving constant ups and downs, consider that both sides might be right! If you are single, you certainly will have an entourage of admirers to choose from. Your charisma seems to draw oth- ers to you like a magnet. If you are attached, you might find that often you and your sweetie tend to be on opposite sides of an ongoing debate. Remember to support each other, even when you don’t agree. PISCES can be as emotional as you can be cynical.

Sunday, Aug. 30th, 11:00 am Rev. Foster Freed “Creation’s Song, Part Three: Space”

Dear Snowbird: Let’s be clear -- your objection is that you cannot reciprocate by driving, and one couple will not allow you to reciprocate in any other way. You need to discuss this honestly with them. Tell your friends that you are uncomfortable not being able to return the favour, and that they must allow you to repay them in some fashion, perhaps treating them to dinner at a nice restaurant or buying them a gift card to their favorite store. Your other option, of course, is to drive separately, saying that you prefer to have your own car with you (a reasonable statement), and that you will see them when you get there. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

the opposite story later on. Somewhere in between lies the reality. Be clear in what you are requesting. Tonight: Make it easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of what your finances are saying as well as what your heart wants. Confusion reaches a new level, partially because you have not taken in all the facts that are needed. Pull back, and you will gain a better understanding. Tonight: Go along with the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to use your charisma to make a difference. Your ability to come to an understanding evolves. How you feel about a personal matter could change after you get an earful from the other party. Do not make assump- tions. Tonight: Go with the flow. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Michael Jackson (1958), U.S. Sen. John McCain (1936), actress Ingrid Bergman (1915)

As coach of the 1980s New York Islanders dynasty, Al Arbour commanded immediate respect from his players and contemporaries around the NHL. Arbour led the Islanders to four consecutive Stanley Cups, and on Friday the hockey community remembered him for his temperament and incredible success after his death at the age of 82 following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Potvin said Arbour left the Islanders “feeling like champions.” That team, led by Potvin, Mike Bossy and Bryan Trottier, captured the Cup four times.

CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT

eclarer won the second heart and played off three rounds of diamonds on which West discarded two clubs. The queen of clubs was advanced and passed when East declined to cover. A club to the ace was followed by two more diamond winners on which West parted with two spades and the game finished down one, N-S -50. South’s resolve to bid 2NT was too aggressive a stance, in my view. North’s raise promised four-card support but the diamond suit must run for South to have any chance of success. Moreover, he could only hold up the ace of hearts once since he owned a doubleton. North would also be required to hold black suit strength for the game to be a viable proposition. The fact that the opponents were in the auction suggests that North will not display the values required for success. A diamond partscore yields ten tricks with the ace of spades and the king of clubs onside for a modest +130. The nine - trick game is likely to be reached when South judges to open 1NT .This would not be a good choice with this pattern and a hand completely lacking in body. A NT contract should play better when declared by North. North may offer an invitation, in this scenario, and South will advance to game.

MOSS, CHARLES ROBERT July 20, 1922 – August 11, 2015 Following a full life, our Dad passed away peacefully in Nanaimo at the age of 93. He was predeceased by his wife of 63 years, our Mom Joan, in 2012. Bob was born in Cairo, Egypt, the only son of David and Mathilde Moss. The family returned to England shortly after his birth. Bob’s adventuresome spirit led him to join the RCAF where he served as a meteorologist including time stationed on a remote atoll in the Indian Ocean. Following his military service, he returned to college in England, pursued an education degree and met Joan as a student teacher. Married in 1949, Bob and Joan emigrated to Canada four years later with their two young children, first settling in Prince George. Bob made public education in British Columbia his life’s work as he willing took on new challenges eventually serving as Superintendent of Schools in three districts in the Province. During these years, the family expanded to 5 children and moved throughout the Province including time in Kamloops, Cowichan Bay, Vanderhoof and Port Alberni. Bob will be mourned by his five children, their spouses, 14 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. He was very proud of his extended family and imbued each of them with his spirit of adventure. R.M Patterson’s book The Dangerous River kindled Bob’s interest in western Canada and particularly the water. He kayaked the Peace River before construction of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, riverboated on many rivers and lakes in northern BC and explored many areas of the Pacific Northwest coast as a sailor and then a powerboater. Bob had a lifelong interest in science and technology which he believed was a key component of education. This interest carried on into retirement as he became a very active Ham radio operator, making friends locally and around the world. In addition to boating, Bob and Joan spent winters exploring western North America in their RV and travelled widely around the world visiting relatives and fellow Hams. Our family would like to thank all of the caring staff at Dover House for helping to make Dad’s last years as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. A memorial service will take place on Tuesday at 3:00 pm, September 8, at 4BOET 'VOFSBM $IBQFM 5SVOL 3PBE %VODBO t A reception to follow. Should you wish, a donation to the Parkinson’s Society of Canada would be appreciated.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loving mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. In 2013, she was predeceased by Laurence, her husband of 64 years. Doreen is survived by her son, Larry Garland (Patricia); her daughter, Diane Blackburn (Thomas); her granddaughter, Lindsey Blackburn (Ryan Orr), her grandson, Ryan Blackburn (Claire) and great grandson, Ewan. Also left to mourn are nephew, Ken Bell (son Stephen); nephew Peter Bosko and cousins, Linda Chorney and Sandra White. Although many years of work, travel, crafts and cooking brought her great joy, her priority was always looking after her family and spending time with friends. She lived a full life, loved to learn and had a wonderful repertoire of sayings that would make everyone laugh. She was deeply loved by her family and friends. Tenderly known as “Gran�, we all have many fond memories of her spirit of giving and her dedication to our Dad. Our most sincere thanks and appreciation go to the dedicated staff at Wexford Creek Assisted Living Facility, whose outstanding care and support made Mom’s final years most enjoyable. Our heartfelt thanks also go to Dr. R. Love, her physician of over 20 years, for his constant care and attention. The Palliative Care Unit at NRGH was instrumental in making Mom’s last days peaceful and dignified. A private family gathering will be held after internment in the family plot at the Nanaimo City Cemetery. No Service by request.

Suddenly, of a heart attack, while on a wonderful vacation in the Mediterranean accompanied by her brother in law Larry Sorsdahl. Thora was predeceased by her loving husband Don (2006); sister Sharon Sorsdahl (2011); and nephew Kent Sorsdahl (2013). She is survived, and sadly missed, by her son Allan Dolan (Carmen Storey); daughter Donna (Robert Ofner); sister Phyllis Bunker; and brotherin-law Larry Sorsdahl. She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren Erich, Jaime, Claire and Gaika; niece Carmen Brown and family. Thora grew up in Elrose Sask. on the family wheat farm, the eldest of three daughters born to Bill and Betty Reed. She graduated from the University of Saskatoon in 1953 with a BSc. and moved to Montreal where she completed a Dietetic Internship at Montreal General Hospital followed by a position at MJGH. Thora met Don on a blind date sleigh ride in St. Jerome and they were married in 1956. The newlyweds enjoyed their Montreal summers ÏcottagingÎ with friends in the Laurentians. In 1961 Thora and Don moved to Mississauga where they raised Allan and Donna, forging strong and lasting friendships with their Homeric Drive neighbours (The Friday Night Club). In 1969 they bought ABD Farms with the Browns and Drews where many a great time was had with family and friends. During this period, Thora taught gourmet cooking classes, wrote a cook book and consulted on a number of TV commercials often first testing the products at home much to the family’s delight. Thereafter she was in house Home Economist at Dominion’s flagship store in Square One, Mississauga followed by Communications Director at the Ontario Pork Producer's Marketing Board. Many fun filled summer vacations were spent on Shuswap Lake, B.C. with family or crisscrossing North America with camper trailer in tow. Thora and Don enjoyed their worldwide travels immensely, a pursuit that continued after they retired to Nanaimo, B.C spending winters in Mesa, Arizona. Thora moved to }Windsor, Ontario in 2014 to be near her daughter where she continued to lead an independent and busy life, meeting new friends everywhere she went. Thora enjoyed every moment of a great life that ended all too soon, but fittingly, on a wonderful cruise. Her energy, congeniality, positive attitude and practical wisdom (everything in moderation!) will be greatly missed. Internment will take place at the Regina Funeral Home and Cemetery. It was Thora’s wish that a private family service take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, 279 3rd Avenue North, Saskatoon, SK S7K 2H8 would be appreciated by the family. Family and friends are invited to sign the online obituary and tributes page at www.regina-memorial.ca. Arrangements entrusted to Regina Funeral Home (306) 789-8850.

NFL

Protecting QBs more difďŹ cult PHILADELPHIA — If Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll and other NFL coaches want to run zone-read plays, their quarterbacks are fair game — even when they don’t have the ball. The league’s competition committee has made it clear quarterbacks won’t get special protection until they establish a passing posture. The rules aren’t changing this year despite concerns that arose after Terrell Suggs was penalized for tackling Sam Bradford’s knees on a handoff in a Ravens-Eagles game last Saturday. Dean Blandino, the league’s vice-president of officiating, declared Suggs’ hit was legal because Bradford was considered a runner until he clearly didn’t have the football or positioned

himself to pass. On a zone-read play, the quarterback sticks the ball in a running back’s stomach and either gives it to him or pulls it back and runs depending on the defence’s reaction. Suggs was assigned the quarterback on the play, so he ignored ball carrier Darren Sproles and went straight for Bradford. Kelly argued it was a simple handoff and shouldn’t have been treated like an option play because Bradford — playing in his first game after a knee injury last season — didn’t try to carry out a fake. The problem is that defensive players and referees cannot always identify the difference between a zone-read play and a handoff. “Not every shotgun run is a zone-read play,� Kelly said. “We don’t run as much zone-read as everybody thinks we do.�

Bradford was not injured on the Suggs hit. He says there is a “grey area� when it comes to defining a zone-read play. “We have a lot of plays in our offence where there are absolutely no reads for us, it’s an automatic give,� he said. “I think the league is probably just going have to clarify what a zone-read is.� But clarification isn’t so easy. “We have had discussions about these types of plays in our meetings over the past couple years as the zone-read has become more prevalent,� said New York Giants co-owner John Mara, a member of the competition committee, which is in charge of rule changes. “As long as the quarterback is a threat as a runner with these plays, I don’t know how you make the distinction between him being a runner or passer.�

Mariners ďŹ re general manager TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — A year to the day after praising Jack Zduriencik as he was rewarded with a contract extension, Seattle Mariners President Kevin Mather found himself speaking with ownership this week on all the areas he believed the club was lacking. It was clear to Mather that Zduriencik’s time as Seattle’s general manager was at an end and his regret was not making a change sooner. “I was so optimistic about 2015 at the major league level that I waited too long to start asking myself and others the tough questions about what is going on here,� Mather said. “Why aren’t we having more success here? What’s going wrong, here?� Zduriencik was fired Friday

after seven disappointing seasons where the club failed to end its playoff drought under his watch. Zduriencik came to Seattle before the 2009 season, arriving from Milwaukee as one of the top talent evaluators in baseball and with the task of rebuilding a thin farm system while putting a winning product on the field at the major league level. But Seattle missed too often both in player development through the draft and in free agency. “I really enjoyed my seven years here. There is not anything I could say in a negative vibe about anything that went on in Seattle,� Zduriencik told reporters in Chicago on Friday. “It was a great experience and we’ll move on.�
