WEATHER
Thousands left without power
Water quality was not affected by storm; more rain expected before sun returns for long weekend
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Power outages related to the weekend wind and rain storm that struck Nanaimo left approximately 3,000 homes, mostly in the south end of the city, without power for several hours. BC Hydro spokesman Ted Olynyk said falling trees and branches caused the power outages, which also impacted parts of Ladysmith. He said the outages were quickly dealt with by BC Hydro crews.
The Nanaimo area also received up to 30 millimetres of rain during the storm, which has led to the Coastal Fire Centre and the City of Nanaimo lowering the fire risk from extreme to moderate and allowing cooking fires for the first time since early summer. Bill Sims, Nanaimo’s water manager, said there was less rain than expected in the city during the storm, so residents didn’t need to boil their water. The city issued a water-quality advisory that drinking water
may appear “cloudy” as a result, and suggested that those with compromised immune systems should boil their drinking water for one minute. Sims said the city’s watershed received approximately 130 millimetres during the storm because of its higher altitude. That’s because of a weather phenomenon called a “rain shadow” that occurred as a result of the weekend’s storm coming almost directly from the west. As a result, the weather system
had to climb the spine of mountains in the middle of the Island, and the precipitation was largely “squeezed” out in the higher altitudes. That resulted in the eastern coastal sections of the Island getting much less rain than other areas. “The water level in Jump Lake raised 15 centimetres over the weekend,” Sims said. “But the city’s Level 2 water restrictions are scheduled to stay in place until Sept. 30 and, unless something dramatic changes, I
expect that will remain the case.” Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said another system is expected to hit Nanaimo Tuesday that could dump another 15 to 20 millimetres of rain on the city. “The next few days will be cool with showers, but it should warm up a bit and become sunnier for the long weekend,” she said.

of the world, and the Prime Minister’s guidance allowed Canada to escape relatively unscathed through the 2008 recession. I see tremendous opportunities for economic growth at the Nanaimo Airport for possible secondary manufacturing or aircraft repair. Vancouver Island University has room to grow, and local First Nations offer options for private sector investment, with Chemainus First Nations’ Oyster Bay development being a great example. A foot passenger ferry to Vancouver would allow
commuters to live and spend here while earning their living in the lower mainland. Other ideas include the underwater exploration centre/maritime museum concept floated recently by deepocean explorer Phil Nuytten, a 5,000-plus seat entertainment and sports multiplex, and easier access to Mount Benson and its panoramic views, perhaps like the Grouse Grind. These would be excellent tourism magnets.
Question: “What will you do to stimulate the economic activity on Vancouver Island?” Nanaimo-Ladysmith Mark MacDonald, Conservative It is important to recognize the primary role of private sector businesses in job creation. Government jobs require taxes to create and support them. Therefore, government policy must maintain an environment where businesses can create jobs by investing and risk taking. Without that, individuals and families will not have the jobs they need. To that end, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative government has lowered the personal income tax rate to the lowest level since the 1950s, and lowered the corporate tax rate to 13.5 per cent, along with continuing to push for the elimination of progress-strangling red tape. The results are clear: Our economy remains strong today in the midst of an unstable global economic climate, as Canada’s economy is ranked at the very top

Sheila Malcolmson, NDP The NDP will stimulate the
economy by transitioning to a green, community-supporting economy. The Conservatives have dismantled laws that protect our environment while handing massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. New Democrats have a different plan. We’ll kick start our clean energy sector, something our coastal communities are well-positioned to participate in. And we’ll make predictable investments in transit. New Democrats have been calling for an end to the senseless export of raw logs for a long time. And we’ll end the Conservatives unconditional handout of billions of tax dollars to large corporations and create an innovation tax credit for business that invest in machinery, equipment and property used in innovating-boosting research and development. We’ll cut the small business tax rate from 11 per cent to 9 per cent as this sector creates 3/4 of all jobs in Canada. And we’ll extend the accelerated capital cost allowance for manufacturing and processing machinery and equipment to help businesses attract new investors, grow their exports and create family -supporting jobs. Dedicating an additional cent of the existing gas tax to ensuring roads, bridges and other vital infrastructures are there when we need them will grow and support local economies as well.

A Vancouver Island Raiders football player may miss the rest of the season after suffering a head injury following an offfield incident early Sunday in Nanaimo. Tyler Harvey, 19, said he was walking home with a friend from a party held to celebrate the Raiders’ win against the Valley Huskers on Saturday. He said he woke up in the hospital with a severe concussion (and a wound which required 30 staples) a few hours later with no memory of what happened. According to Harvey’s mother, Jen Harvey, police told her that her son had been struck in the head with a tire iron. Police could not confirm any details of what happened, citing privacy issues. Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien said there is an ongoing investigation into an incident in the 4000 block of Departure Bay Road that took place at approximately 3 a.m. “There was a disturbance and during the disturbance an individual was struck by a metal object,” O’Brien said. The injuries to one individual required hospitalization, he said. O’Brien also said “alcohol may be a contributing factor” in the incident. No charges have been laid and O’Brien said he could not offer further comment.

DISPUTE
RDN won’t pursue enforcement Regional district first said planned writers event would contravene zoning in letter to event hosts SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
The Regional District of Nanaimo will not pursue enforcement action against the owners of a farm that hosted a writers’ retreat this past weekend, despite warnings to the contrary. The RDN said last week the Sharing the Fire writers event, planned to take place on Thistledown Farm in Cedar, constituted a public gathering, which was not allowed under the rural residential zoning for the property.
Jeremy Holm, manager of current planning for the RDN, said last week that the zoning also does not allow for camping, which had been advertised as part of the event. The RDN’s lawyers had sent a letter to the farm’s owners, Jackie Moad and Laurie Gourlay, warning of possible legal action if the event was to proceed. The letter said the RDN “if necessary may obtain an injunction to prevent this or any future planned events from occurring.” Organizers for the event none-
theless proceeded to host the event, criticizing the RDN for its approach. It was estimated that roughly a dozen writers would attend the event. Holm had said the RDN had received complaints about past events on the property in the past and was “providing advice” to the property owners about RDN regulations. Gourlay and Moad said in a statement last week they were prepared to fight any RDN claims in court if necessary.
LITERACY
“As far as we’re concerned, it’s still going on because we don’t believe the RDN is applying its regulations in a fair manner,” Gourlay said. “I don’t know why they’re taking exception to a dozen writers, it’s beyond me.” On Monday, the RDN’s Chris Midgley said he was “not aware” of any complaints received about the event over the weekend. “We have no reason to take enforcement action based on what (took place) on the property,” he said. Midgley said that when
residents make complaints, the RDN has a responsibility to look into those complaints. “If somebody raises an issue . . . we are obliged to communicate with the property owner,” he said. “It’s not always a popular job.” “We do want to welcome these kinds of events in the community and there are appropriate locations for that . . .” he said.

FROM THE FRONT
Candidates offer up details on economic plans for the Island ECONOMY, From Page A1 By the end of a first mandate, we’ll be investing $3.7 billion annually in core infrastructure across the country. Finally, we’ll provide $1.3 billion annually for public transit investment — a key piece of a green, strong economy. And we’ll make housing more affordable by providing incentives for the construction of affordable and rental housing units.

‘Little Libraries’ popping up in city neighbourhoods ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Take a book. Return a book. Neighbourhoods across Nanaimo are now home to “Little Libraries,” intended to help support literacy. There are 15 Little Libraries containing donated books spread throughout the city. The public is invited to borrow them, and/or add their own books to the collection so others can do the same. The project is a partnership of several Nanaimo organizations working together to provide public access to books and other reading material. They include the Vancouver Island Regional Library, Literacy Central Nanaimo, Vancouver Island University, Play Nanaimo, and the City of Nanaimo. Members from each group met in 2014 with the idea to engage community members not only with literacy, but also with each other. According to City of Nanaimo planner John Horn,
“Public libraries are the living room of our communities, so we jumped at the chance to create new, mini gathering places in Nanaimo neighbourhoods.” Jennifer Seper, librarian
the libraries are about more than just books, they’re about building “social capital” and making the city’s neighbourhoods “even greater places to live.” Jennifer Seper, a librarian with VIRL, said people in neighbourhoods receiving the Little Libraries are being encouraged to take a book, share a book, and connect with their neighbours and family. “Public libraries are the living room of our communities, so we jumped at the chance to create
new, mini gathering places in Nanaimo neighbourhoods,” she said. “We’re hoping people will take the opportunity to chat with their neighbours about their favourite new read.” VIRL’s Natasha Bartlett said the libraries fall into the care of community members who will serve as “little librarians.” “It’s operating on the honour system and we encourage everyone to get involved with and participate in the project,” she said. The construction of the Little Libraries was completed by the Rotary Club of Nanaimo North, with decorations provided by VIU students.

Paul Manly, Green Party As your Green MP I will work to make Vancouver Island economically resilient, self-reliant, and less dependent on boom-andbust resource industries that don’t provide long-term economic sustainability. Small businesses are the biggest job creators in B.C., not multi-national corporations, but too often their needs are considered last. The Green Party would pass legislation requiring governments to consider the impact on small business first when making decisions. Nanaimo has the beginnings of a vibrant tech sector, and there is much we can do to promote our community as a high tech centre. We have the great quality of life tech companies love, plus easy access to Vancouver and Victoria. Employing trades people to retrofit our buildings to make them energy-efficient and investing money in the repair of our aging infrastructure would definitely boost our island economy. Another sector that can provide high-quality, good-paying local jobs is clean energy. We are blessed with plentiful wind, tidal, geothermal and solar resources on the Island that could be used to create clean, green energy jobs here at home. Increasing local food production would also stimulate economic activity on the island. Greens will work to protect agricultural land from development, and remove barriers to local farming. And finally, I will work to end raw log exports. We need to use our natural resources for maximum employment in value-added industries, and we must ensure that international trade deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership agree-
ment don’t take away our ability to do that. Tim Tessier, Liberals Liberals will strengthen the middle class, create jobs, and grow Canada’s economy by making historic new investments in infrastructure. This election is a clear choice between smart investments that create jobs and growth, or austerity and cuts that will slow our economy further. Successful, confident countries invest in their own future. Liberal government will make the largest new infrastructure investment in Canadian history. Our plans will nearly double federal infrastructure investment to almost $125 billion from the current $65 billion over the next decade. Make an immediate down payment to kick-start job creation and economic growth by doubling the current federal infrastructure investment in each of the next two fiscal years. Provide new, dedicated funding to provinces, territories, and municipalities for, Public transit infrastructure, Social infrastructure – including affordable housing and seniors facilities, early learning and child care, and cultural and recreational infrastructure, Green infrastructure – including local and wastewater facilities, climate resilient infrastructure, and clean energy. Increase the transparency of the New Building Canada Fund by providing clearer project criteria and faster approval processes that will now prioritize investments in roads, bridges, transportation, ports, and border gateways and help fund public infrastructure projects with the creation of a new Canada Infrastructure Bank. Every dollar we spend on public infrastructure grows our economy, creates jobs, and strengthens the economy of Nanaimo-Ladysmith. As the elected MP for Nanaimo-Ladysmith I will be committed to bring jobs to our area thru this historic and long over due investment in our infrastructure. » We want to hear from you.

Listening to your doctors is a good bet
Y
our doctor doesn’t know everything. But he or she knows a lot more than you do. And that is why you should think twice before refusing to get your child vaccinated. While there is nothing wrong and a lot right with questioning health officials about treatment, the anti-vaccination movement crosses the line from healthy skepticism to irresponsibility. According to a 2014 report from the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 732,000 American children’s lives have been saved in the past 20 years due to routine vaccinations. The same report indicates the vaccinations prevented 322 million cases of kids getting sick.
Four generations ago, thousands of children suffered from measles, from whooping cough, from diphtheria and polio. Today, a majority of doctors have probably never seen a case of measles and there has been just one case of diphtheria reported in the U.S. since 2004. Fifty years ago, rubella swept America, infecting 12 million people, killing 2,000 infants and causing 11,000 miscarriages. In 2012, nine cases of rubella were reported. The reason for the dramatic reduction is clear: vaccinations. The proof is easy to define by tracking the number of cases in vaccinated populations as opposed to those in communities with low, or non-existent rates of vaccination.
The vaccination program has been so effective a whole generation of North American adults has no comprehension of how necessary it is because they have never had to experience life without it. This has lulled a handful of people into buying vaccination fear-mongering based on bad science — a since-descredited study that linked vaccinations to autism. It was wrong to point fingers at parents who balked at vaccinations when the news of the original study broke. But that was in 2009. Today there is little reason to resist your shots and compelling reasons to get them. The most compelling is the fact that you are not only protecting your child
from getting sick, you are also protecting everybody else. Some would argue that nobody gets those diseases now, so why should you bother innoculating against them. This ignores the fact that those diseases still exist. The reason they are so uncommon here is because so many people have been vaccinated. Thanks to vaccination, the chances of someone carrying a disease coming into contact with someone unprotected is small. That makes it difficult for the disease to spread. For every non-vaccinated person, the odds of a carrier infecting someone else increases. If they increase enough, communities suddenly become open to the chances of an epidemic.
If your sick kid infects another kid when you could have done something to prevent that, then you have to take some of the responsibility. Canadian doctors are recommending mandatory declaration of a child’s immunization records before that child enters school. While it doesn’t prevent the issue of creating potential carriers, it will at least allow officials to track and attempt to protect people at risk. The doctors have stopped short of ordering you to vaccinate, but they have also made it very clear what they think is best. Listen to your doctor. » We want to hear from you.

Green candidate sparks switch from Liberal fan I have been a lifelong federal Liberal Party supporter, but this
time I am voting Green because we have an excellent candidate running for the Green Party in my riding. Paul Manly is a person I have known for many years. He is intelligent, honest and hard-working. If you care about the future of this planet for yourself and your descendants, now is the time to act with your vote. People living in the cities do not notice the effect on the forest lands like the people who work in the forests. It is getting dryer and dryer and this is the second year in a row that the seedlings have failed to survive as the drought periods get longer each year. Forget the voting patterns in your life as the other parties have not delivered. The future is our children and there is nothing for them if the world’s thinking and actions are not changed and changed quickly. Corporate greed and exploitation rule the day. Our generation has largely been responsible for it so we must change now. Don’t be a fool by not supporting

Provincial government should help environment Dear Christy Clark: How many trees will be cut before decision-makers in B.C. decide that the forestry clear-cutting in this province is unsustainable? How many trees do we need to have balance between carbon and oxygen in our atmosphere? How many trees can the forestry industry continue to cut, while trees are being burned by “wildfires”? How many trees can the forestry industry continue to cut with increasingly long droughts in B.C.? How many trees are needed to retain moisture in the ground of our forests and landscapes? How sustainable is the forestry industry in B.C. and does your government have information on how
to grow healthy, resilient forests? Actually, Mother Nature knows best how to keep a healthy balance. Any idea how far removed industrial practices are from Mother Nature? When will our government decide to protect our forests in these times of extreme climate change? Are you ready to change course, or is this government and forestry industry too entrenched in one way of doing business?

Nanaimo chiropractor and family make swim from France to Canada ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
A chiropractor from Nanaimo, his daughter and his brother are the first people on record to swim from France to Canada. But the route Jason Hare, owner of Pure Chiropractic on Metral Drive, his 16-year-old daughter Abigail and brother Joshua took on their journey was not across the cold and stormy North Atlantic. Instead, the trio left from Saint Pierre and Miquelon off Newfoundland’s south coast, on Aug. 19 and swam 7.2 kilometres to Newfoundland’s Little Green Island. The islands are France’s oldest overseas territory. Hare said the trip, in which

they were accompanied by relatives in a 13-metre vessel, through the cold ocean water in waves that were more than two
metres high took four hours and six minutes. “When we were about three kilometres into the swim, Abigail was getting overwhelmed by the waves and was getting pretty tired and said she couldn’t go on anymore,” Hare said. “Abigail was really exhausted at that stage and I suggested that she could get in the boat, but she decided to keep going and completed the trip. It was an amazing experience and some seals and puffins travelled some of the distance with us.” Hare, originally from Newfoundland, first hatched the idea six years ago but Abigail wanted him to wait until she was old enough to do the trip with him.

“Last year, she said she felt she was strong enough to do it so we began planning for this year,” he said. “The water temperature was about 15 C and that’s not too bad, but we wore wet suits and we were all real cold anyway after spending more than four hours in the ocean.” Hare said the story was picked up by the local media in Newfoundland. He said he’d do it again and agreed to try the route in 10 years when Joshua’s sons are old enough to join them. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Dramatic incident sees police vehicles smashed
Resort announces lower price for coming season
Service provider found for more day surgeries
Hungry bear startles pair of young boys
Salt Spring RCMP were involved in a dramatic incident in the early hours of Saturday that saw two RCMP vehicles smashed and a suspect apprehended under the Mental Health Act. According to a Vancouver Island RCMP release, Salt Spring Island RCMP were conducting an impaired driving checkpoint in the 100 block of Upper Ganges Rd., when a man driving a Chevrolet Blazer attempted to avoid the checkpoint, nearly striking an officer who was on foot. “A police car, stationary on the roadway at the time, was then rammed head-on by the suspect vehicle. Officers approached the SUV, smashing out the driver’s side window in an attempt to gain control of the suspect. A second police vehicle attempted to box the suspect vehicle in and was also rammed as the suspect drove back and forth between the two police vehicles,” said the release.
Mount Washington Alpine Resort has recently announced lowered prices on the Alpine and Gold Season Pass products for the upcoming 2015-16 season. Skiers and riders will enjoy reductions as much as $300 over last year. “We did an extensive review of all of our Season Pass products. By simplifying our lineup, we have been able to reduce our rates and increase benefits for our Pass Holders,” explains Don Sharpe, Director of Business Operations at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. “With our new rate structure, more people than ever can enjoy the excitement of the mountain.” Families will also benefit from a new family discount program. “Mount Washington’s foundation is families,” continues Sharpe.” That is why we have simplified the family discounts to offer greater value. On average alpine families will save hundreds over last year’s rates.”
In an effort to free up operating rooms and reduce wait times for surgery, Island Health has found a preferred service provider to deliver publicly-funded day surgery on a contract basis. In the coming weeks, contract negotiations will begin with Surgical Centres Inc., with the aim of having a contract in place in the fall, along with a new facility open in Greater Victoria by mid-2016 or earlier. Island Health has had contracts with private surgical providers since 2004. Since that time, the health authority said patients have benefited from timely, accessible, publicly-funded day surgery. “By increasing the number of surgeries and colonoscopies we perform outside hospital, we can free up operating rooms for more complex cases and reduce wait times for both day and inpatient surgery,” said Norm Peters, executive director of surgical services and heart health at Island Health.
A hungry bear wandered into a garage in Lake Cowichan last week, while two boys were skinning a deer, scaring them into the rafters before making off with the carcass. “A bear actually entered the garage and took the deer that was hanging there right off the hook and beetled off out of the garage,” Lake Cowichan RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Wes Olsen said. “When the bear came into the garage, the boys actually climbed up into the rafters of the garage to get out of the way. The bear absconded with deer and headed off into the bush.” The boys, ages 13 and 18, weren’t hurt in the incident, but the twice-hunted deer was going to be dinner, one way or another. Anyone who encounters this or any other aggressive animals should contact the RAPP (Report All Poacher and Polluters) line at 1-877-952-7277.

It will be two months before the Insurance Corp. of B.C. applies for a specific change to basic insurance rates, but drivers across the province are being warned they will pay more. ICBC has begun filing its basic insurance rate application with the BC Utilities Commission, but final parts of the application, including any request for a rate change, aren’t due until the end of October. Despite that, the provincial auto insurer said Monday that a recent leap in injury claims means that if its request were filed today, it would have to ask for a 6.7 per cent rate hike, the highest possible under current legislation. ICBC president Mark Blucher said the corporation will work with government over the next few weeks to identify ways to reduce the impending rate increase. The insurance corporation said costs for bodily injury claims topped $2 billion for the first time last year. They are expected to climb to $2.3 billion this year, an increase ICBC said amounts to 64 per cent, or almost $900 million, since 2008. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the government has been informed that ICBC has provided the utilities commission with some initial documentation and a schedule outlining the information it plans to submit in the weeks ahead. “While the number of crashes is relatively unchanged, ICBC is also reporting more crashes with multiple injuries than ever before, with more cases being potentially fraudulent,” Stone said.
YOU AND THE LAW
®
MUST YOUR WILL INCLUDE YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN? You may want to cut back on what goes to a spouse or child a er you die – or cut them out of your will altogether. O en the reasons are personal. In one court case, a son’s illegal marijuana growing saddled his mother with a court convic on, and he also tried to have her commi ed. Or the reasons may be cultural. Some cultures view a married-off daughter as the sole responsibility of her husband. But no ma er the reasons, careful estate planning is cri cal, because some family members can challenge your will a er your death. Under BC’s Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), your will must make adequate provision for the proper maintenance and support of your spouse and children. An unhappy spouse (including a common-law spouse) or child (including an adopted child) can ask the court to change your will. The court can then order what it thinks is “adequate, just and equitable,” if it agrees the will doesn’t adequately provide for them. Tataryn is the leading case on this. Alex favoured Edward over his other son, John. He worried that if he gave anything outright to Mary, his wife of 43 years, it would end up with John. So his will let Mary live in the family home for life and gave her income from a trust. Upon her death, his will le everything to Edward. John was cut out of the will. Mary and John went to court, and in 1994 the Supreme Court of Canada changed the will. Alex’s wife got ownership of the house and the rest of his estate (a er gi s of $10,000 to John and Edward). Some rental income also went to her, and upon her death, the rental property would go one-third to John and two-thirds to Edward. In deciding on adequate provision, the court said that both the legal and moral du es of the will-maker must be met. If the estate is big enough, and there’s no good reason for cu ng out a child, then, morally, an independent adult child should get something. Since Tataryn, estate lawsuits in BC have increased. In one, two adult daughters successfully challenged their mother’s will. She le behind an estate worth $550,000. In line with her na ve Indo-Fijian culture, the lion’s share went to her sons (her daughters got only $10,000 each). The BC Supreme Court changed the will so the two plain ff daughters each got one-fi h of her contested estate, and the remaining three-fi hs was shared equally between the two sons. The judge said: “In modern Canada, where the rights of the individual and equality are protected by law, the norm is for daughters to have the same expecta ons as sons when it comes to sharing in their parents’ estates.” In another case, the court changed the will so a gay son (treated unequally) received the same inheritance as his two heterosexual brothers. Whether you can disinherit or reduce the share of your spouse or child depends on the situa on, but op ons exist. Your lawyer can help you carry out your wishes.

One-and-done VIU Mariners star headed to Australia to continue his hoops career SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
W
hen he first made his decision to play basketball in Canada, Justin King thought it was a pretty long trek from his home town of Las Vegas to Kamloops. But after a season of playing PacWest ball at Vancouver Island University, the conference player of the year has an even further trip ahead of him — he’s signed a deal with a professional team in Melbourne, Australia. King, born and raised in Las Vegas, is forgoing his final season of college basketball eligibility at age 24 to do so. “I just felt like it was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up,” he said. “I could have stayed at VIU and I would have loved to stay at VIU — I had the best year in college I’ve ever had there. On the court, off the court I love VIU, I love Nanaimo and the Island. “But with basketball being my passion and loving the sport, I’ve always had the dream of playing professional basketball, whether it be in the NBA, in Europe, or wherever, that has always been my dream since I was a kid.” King arrived at VIU last summer after sitting out for a season — he had previous played at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops in the CIS level. He had originally played with the Skagit Valley Community College Cardinals of the Northwest Association of Community Colleges. King was an instant star with the Mariners, leading them to a conference championship and a national silver medal while also being named as an All-Canadian. “On top of his accolades, he was just an outstanding team-

mate that put the team before himself,” said Mariners assistant coach Avneet Brar. “He was a very hard worker in practice.” King signed with the Oakleigh Warriors, a pro team that plays in Australia’s Big V league, one step below its National Basket-
ball League circuit. Former VIU coach Tony Bryce, who in the past helped get Dover Bay grad Andrew Kaban exposed to the Australian league, also helped set King up with the opportunity to play there. “I just want to go out there and do the best I can with this team and maybe, hopefully get picked up to the higher league,” King said, “and even if that doesn’t happen, just stay with the team and grind things out.” King credited his time at VIU, and working with national coach of the year Matt Kuzminski, to being able to play basketball past
the collegiate level. “That was probably one of the best decisions of my life,” King said, “if not the best, was coming to VIU and having that experience and being able to win. “It taught me how to be a leader, as well. Coach trusted me a lot to come in and be a leader.” Before coming to VIU, King was unsure if his basketball career was going to continue after he left TRU. But an email from Kuzminski, who was looking for talent to add to a team that had missed the national championship tournament a year after winning it all in 2013, changed the course of King’s career. “It helped me so much,” King said. “It was the biggest blessing for me. From Thompson Rivers, I was out for a year and coach Kuzminski reached out to me through email before I could talk to him on the phone. “I was immediately wanting to come out there when I heard from him. I knew that I wanted to continue to play basketball and I knew that going back to school could help me out with my career off the court and on the court.” King’s signing in Australia marks the second VIU athlete from last school year to play a sport professionally. VIU soccer star Victor Blasco, of Spain, now plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC2 team in the United Soccer League after he led the Mariners to the national championship tournament, where they lost on penalty kicks. The PacWest named King and Blasco the conference’s co-male athletes of the year. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Raiders crush winless Huskers 53-0 SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
Quinton Bowles doesn’t like to see his defence giving up any points. The Vancouver Island Raiders defensive end wants to shut out every team he faces. And on Saturday, his team was finally able to do that, crushing the winless Valley Huskers 53-0 to move to 4-2 on the season heading into the B.C. Football Conference’s bye week. Bowles, who had two tackles and a sack against Valley, didn’t care who the shutout came against. “I don’t think we needed a confidence booster,” he said after his team’s win at Caledonia Park. “I think we just need to realize where we’re at right now and where we stand with each team in the league. “There’s no team where it’s just a confidence booster to play against. Either way, if we play like crap, it’s just going to result in a loss. So if we keep playing the way we played today, it’s just going to progress.” Heading into Saturday’s game, the Huskers hadn’t come within 40 points of a win at the midway

point of the season. The Raiders didn’t want that to change, and so they didn’t allow it to. They were led on offence by former Ballenas high school teammates quarterback Liam O’Brien and receiver Dustin Rodriguez. O’Brien had his most product-
ive day of the year as he completed 23 of his 30 pass attempts for 405 yards and five touchdowns. His lone interception hit receiver Taylor Flavel in the numbers before bouncing into the hands of the Huskers. Rodriguez had a game-high 177 receiving yards off six
catches, and a touchdown, while Flavel had 114 yards and two touchdowns from seven catches. Back-up quarterback Brody Taylor also threw for a touchdown, completing three of four pass attempts in mop-up duty. Safety Cole Virtanen and nickelback Adam MacDonald, both rookies, both had interceptions while third-year middle linebacker Dexter Shea added a sack. For Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman, it was a breath of fresh air to see his team really hammer a team — their previous three wins had come by an average of 6.3 points. “All our games have been nailbiters,” Erdman said, “so this is the first time we’ve actually gone and put a team away, and it’s good for them. They deserve it.” The Raiders and Kamloops Broncos are now in a two-way tie for second place as the BCFC hits its bye week. The Raiders hit the road next weekend to take on the undefeated Okanagan Sun. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo Clippers have begun their slate of five preseason games with a loss in Port Alberni. The Clippers, with a roster largely comprised of rookies, fell 5-2 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on the road Saturday night. Veteran 20-year-old defenceman Ryan Coghlan’s first-period shot from the point gave Nanaimo its first goal, assisted by newcomer Charley Borek. Clippers goalie prospect Emilien Boily stopped nine of the 11 Bulldogs shots in the first period. In the second period, 20-year-old Clippers veteran Corey Renwick and Bulldogs captain Eric Margo engaged in a fight, and later Clippers prospect Adam Pilotte did the same with Bulldogs veteran Chris Schutz. Clippers goalie prospect Austin Roden entered the game midway through the middle frame. Another fight later broke out between Bulldogs veteran Scott Clark and Clippers prospect Mackenzie O’Mahony. The Clippers’ only other goal came when Borek knocked in a rebound that began with a shot from veteran Spencer Hewson. Game 2 of the Clippers exhibition season goes tonight in Victoria as they take on the Grizzlies before returning to Frank Crane Arena on Wednesday night to host the Grizzlies at 7 p.m. The Clippers only other home exhibition game is on Friday night when they host the Cowichan Valley Capitals at 7 p.m. before heading to Duncan the next day to play them again. Clippers head coach and general manager Mike Vandekamp still needs to move two 20-year-old players from his roster to get down to the maximum of six. He’s got Renwick, Coghlan, Sheldon Rempal, Devin Brosseau, Ryan Forbes, Edwin Hookenson, Kale Bennett and Yanni Kaldis to choose from and has until his team’s Sept. 12 season-opener in Powell River to do so. Vandekamp also needs to choose another goalie to play with Jonathan Reinhart, the only netminder signed to the team’s roster. The other decision that needs to be made is finding another 16 or 17-year-old player to sign in order to meet the league’s minimum of two players that age. Nanaimo’s Owen Hardy, 16, will take up one of those spots after playing three games last season as a 15-year-old before he signed with the Clippers in the summer. After opening the season with back-to-back games in Powell River, the Clippers will play their home opener on Sept. 18 against the Grizzlies. Unlike the previous three BCHL seasons, the regular season schedule will not begin with the league’s showcase event, which will instead be held on Sept. 25 and 26 in Chilliwack where the Clippers will play the Merrit Centennials and Coquitlam Express.

Seahawks trade WR Norwood to Carolina
Shapiro named as next Blue Jays president
Tour of Alberta plays to Hesjedal’s strengths
The Carolina Panthers have acquired wide receiver Kevin Norwood in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for an undisclosed 2017 draft choice. Carolina has been searching for answers at wide receiver ever since Kelvin Benjamin went down with a season-ending injury. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Norwood was a fourth-round draft choice by the Seahawks in 2014. He played nine games with two starts as a rookie.
Mark Shapiro will take over for the retiring Paul Beeston at the end of this season after working the past 24 years in various front-office capacities with the Indians, the past five as club president. The 48-year-old said the “compelling and unique” nature of the Blue Jays’ position made it too attractive to pass up. Shapiro will soon take over a franchise that’s on the way to its first playoff appearance since 1993.
The Tour of Alberta finally sets up well for Canadian cycling star Ryder Hesjedal. He just needs to recover his race legs to take advantage of mountain climbs and dirt roads. The third edition of the Alberta’s stage race opens Wednesday in Grande Prairie, Alta., with a team time trial. The sixday, 900-kilometre event includes 120 riders from 15 teams. The 2015 Tour of Alberta features mountain stages Friday and Saturday in Jasper.

Brady, Goodell await judge’s ruling
Peterson coy on UW’s QB
“We did not reach a settlement . . . In some cases, it doesn’t happen and this is one of those cases.“
TOM HAYS AND LARRY NEUMEISTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady attended last-minute settlement talks between the NFL and its players union Monday before a judge announced he would decide the dispute over deflated footballs with a ruling in a day or two. Everyone involved “tried quite hard� to reach a deal in the controversy that has hung over professional football since New England easily won the AFC title game in January, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said in federal court in Manhattan. However, Berman said: “We did not reach a settlement. ... In some cases, it doesn’t happen and this is one of those cases.� Absent a compromise, Berman will have to either affirm or throw out Goodell’s decision in July to uphold a four-game suspension of Brady. The NFL concluded the quarterback colluded with two Patriots ball handlers to deflate footballs to gain an edge in a 45-7

said. Feely is a member of the union’s executive committee and Mara is chairman of the NFL’s executive committee that oversees labour matters. “For us it reinforces the desire and the need for an independent arbitrator in these matters of personal conduct,� Feely said outside court. “But we understand Tom’s position and I think the process will work itself out.� Berman said he’s putting the final touches on his decision. “It won’t be today, but hopefully tomorrow or the day after,� he said of a written ruling. Berman said previously that he hoped to rule by Friday, giving the Patriots enough time to prepare for their Sept. 10 season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Berman had ordered Goodell and Brady to attend Monday’s hearing. Both arrived 90 minutes early to participate in talks in the judge’s robing room. Neither spoke inside or outside court. Berman has said a settlement would be “rational and logical� but also cited weaknesses in the way the NFL handling of the controversy. The judge has also suggested that the league’s finding was too vague, that Brady was generally aware that game balls were being deflated. At a court hearing this month, Berman told the NFL there was precedent for judges to toss out penalties issued by arbitrators. On Monday, courtroom artist Jane Rosenberg returned to court after taking heat on social networks for a sketch that critics said made Brady look like an aging cartoon villain. Outside court afterward, she smiled as she posed with a new drawing that put Brady in a more flattering light, perhaps capturing the more relaxed demeanour he displayed in court during his second trip there.

SEATTLE — Chris Petersen is adding secrecy to his anticipated return to Boise State. The Washington coach has no intention of making a public announcement of his starting quarterback before the Huskies take the field Friday night to face the 23rd-ranked Broncos. Petersen acknowledged Sunday the team knows who is going to start at quarterback, but he is keeping it internal for now. “We have a really good plan. We’re excited about it. Because we figured it out the last day or two we just really don’t think it’s an advantage to us to tell you our strategy right now on that position. We’ll pretty much announce that starting quarterback game time,� Petersen said. “If we thought it helped us or it was three weeks ago or a month ago, but because it’s been so late we really don’t think that helps us a whole lot so we’ll show up to the game and go with our plan.�

CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT
East topped the king with the ace and continued with the queen but declarer ruffed, drew trump and claimed twelve tricks, N-S +1430. North did not consider an advance to 6NT to protect the king of clubs. Partner was surely marked with a singleton club since the lead-directing double was brushed aside by a leap to the major suit slam. The bad news is that there are are twelve top tricks at 6NT. Do you think that West considered a seven club sacrifice after partner had issued a lead-directing double? This action would have yielded a profit although a very small one. West will score eight trump winners, seven in hand and a heart ruff in dummy. The save would finish down five doubled for a loss of 1400 points! East could not possibly hold a club void on this auction but will hold strength and possible length. West should advance to seven clubs holding a virtual Yarborough. North’s double will end the auction where E- W will collect a saving of thirty points. Some players would open the South hand with a demand two bid. North will subsequently drive to slam when partner bids hearts and spades.

Price out-dueled in Blue Jays’ loss Cleveland’s Danny Salazar wins pitching battle as Toronto falls 4-2 on their home turf JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays may have ended August on a losing note, but they’re far from concerned. Danny Salazar outlasted David Price in a pitchers’ duel as the Cleveland Indians beat Toronto 4-2 on Monday night. The Blue Jays got runners in scoring position in the eighth and ninth and kept it a very tight game until the final out. “We never give up. It doesn’t matter how many we’re down or what inning it is, we always feel like we have a chance to win,� said Price. “That’s good, that’s huge. We had a chance there in the eighth to tie it up or go ahead and the same way in the ninth. As long as they’re doing that, it’s good to see.� Toronto went 21-6 in August after acquiring Price, all-star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and others at the trade deadline, launching the Blue Jays to first place in the American League East. The New York Yankees lost to the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Monday night, maintaining Toronto’s 1.5 game lead in the division. Price (13-5) struck out nine over seven innings, allowing three earned runs as Toronto (74-57) ended a three-game win streak. Josh Donaldson had a two-run triple and Edwin Encarnacion extended his hit streak to 26 games with two singles. Donaldson, an MVP candidate in the American League, could have tied it up in the bottom of the ninth with runners on first and second,

two outs and Toronto trailing 4-2. But, he struck out swinging to end the game. “I’m always confident,� said Donaldson of coming to the plate with runners in scoring position. “I expect to come through in those situations for my team. It just so happened today I got a little over-excited on a couple pitches that he threw me. “Hopefully I learn from that and
I’ll be better for it tomorrow.� Brett Cecil came in from the bullpen for a scoreless eighth for Toronto before the Indians added a run in the ninth off LaTroy Hawkins. Salazar (12-7) fanned 10 batters and allowed two runs over seven innings as Cleveland (64-66) won its sixth in a row and gained ground the AL’s wild card race. Bryan Shaw pitched a scoreless two-thirds of an inning, with Cody Allen earn-
ing his 28th save of the season. Donaldson came to the plate in fifth with Ryan Goins and Ben Revere on first and second and the Blue Jays trailing 1-0. Chants of “M-V-P� rained down on the all-star third baseman as he worked Salazar to a full count. Rogers Centre exploded with cheers as Donaldson stroked a triple to right field, giving Toronto a 2-1 lead.

Kids don’t need to stand on corners and beg for your help Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: We have become a society with a beggar’s mentality. While driving through our small town, I approached a red light. There stood people with buckets asking for money to help send their kids’ ecology class to Honduras. This is not the first time I have noticed such begging. I’ve seen kids ask for help to send the dance team to regionals, or to help the senior class have a great prom.
When my kids were younger and their baseball team required money, they either sold candy or held car washes to raise funds. They didn’t stand on street corners and beg someone else to enable them to have a good time. Why do parents think it is OK to ask me to pay for their kid’s activities? I don’t know their kids. — Fed Up Dear Fed Up: We agree that there is entirely too much expectation that others will pay for unnecessary perks that kids ought to be earning for themselves. And it isn’t only school projects. Adults do this, too, often online. But asking and receiving are two different things. Many people don’t mind contrib-
uting, especially if they believe the cause is worthy. Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Confused Family Member,� whose niece is having a large wedding several months after a civil ceremony. My husband and I, as have many of our close friends, had a civil ceremony prior to a larger wedding for family and friends. Members of the military do this quite frequently due to deployments and schedules. I have heard of other reasons, like couples waiting for immigration papers and couples who cannot have a church wedding for several months and prefer not to “live in sin.� We just recently celebrated my son’s wedding a
church ceremony meant more to me than the civil ceremony, and it is the same with my daughter-inlaw. Every bride wants to have her special day and it usually doesn’t mean standing in front of a judge with a couple of witnesses. The bigger wedding is
a way for two families to get together and share in the joy of this newly married couple. The fact that they weren’t able to pull the party off until a year after the “first� marriage shouldn’t detract from the celebration. — Two Wedding Anniversaries

Prearranged funeral plans are a blessing for family members For most of us, thinking about death, let alone our death, isn’t a high priority. Because you’ve pre-planned and prepaid for your final expenses, your loved ones will be relieved when the time comes. Prepaid preneed arrangements should be a part of everyone’s estate planning. The following article is an account of how one family benefited from a loved one’s thoughtfulness. A Thoughtful Gift On March 17, my wife’s mother, “Grandma G,� died. She left us many gifts and intangibles. She also left us something very tangible that in the immediate hour of need was her most thoughtful gift. She had pre-arranged and paid for her funeral in exacting detail. This single act greatly lowered the magnitude of stress that her death had caused. When the 10:16 a.m. call came in to tell us of Grandma’s death, our schedule and life changed abruptly. Immediately, hundreds of questions crowded our heads. Sadness and strong emotion disabled us for awhile. Within an hour of the call, my wife and I were on our way from Toronto to Winnipeg. We made a list as we drove. What would we need to handle when we arrived? My wife was an only child. We knew Grandma had arranged her funeral nine years ago. She gave us a small laminated card with all of the details of who to call at the time of death. That small card soon became a major blessing. Relief from Making Difficult Decisions The day following her death, we met with a funeral director from the home and cemetery Grandma had worked with. He had the original paper work signed nine years prior. It contained all her selections and instructions, enough for us to know precisely what Grandma wanted. In her case, she wanted cremation, with placement in a niche, using a bronze urn, all prepaid. That sounds easy. Why bother to do that in advance? Choices, paperwork and cost are three excellent reasons. Even with all her wishes known, it still took two hours to fill out and sign the required (by law) paper work for any only child. Imagine having several immediate family members together under duress trying to decide: burial or cremation. What would she have wanted? What casket or what urn to use? Which plot, crypt or niche is right? What clothing, a service or no service, music or no music, which songs? Viewing or no viewing? What to say in the obituary, with or without a picture? This confusion is the most common occurrence according to funeral directors. Preplan with preneed and you eliminate it. Prepaid Arrangements Saves Money Talking about money at the time of a loved one’s death might first appear tasteless. However, should a family under duress incur expenses they can’t easily afford? Isn’t it easy to see how, because of grief, guilt, or sibling pressure, they could spend more money than necessary? Grandma prepaid for her arrangements in 1993. The funeral home and cemetery honoured the details and the pricing of the contract. There was no pressure, no questioning, no hints or insinuations about changing anything. One last point about money and pre-arrangements: Since Grandma made and paid for her selections in 1993 the costs for the same products and services had more than doubled. So Grandma’s foresight also saved a significant sum. My wife and I called five days after Grandma’s death to begin to plan, select and pay for our own pre-arrangements. Preplanning and prepaying is a thoughtful gift for your survivors.
