Dam project in limbo after fed-up councillors go home
Gruesome found dog victim of a botched sea burial
Deadline passed, another vote scheduled to happen today
ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEW
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
A
planned vote at Nanaimo council to award a contract for work at the lower Colliery dam was derailed Monday, after four councillors left when Mayor Bill McKay adjourned temporarily to clear the public gallery. The move left only four councillors, including McKay, present to vote. Five are needed to meet quorum to hold a meeting. The incident comes at a time when the city is under tight timelines to finish the dam project, which the province has said must be “substantially” completed by Nov. 15. Toby Seward, the city hall manager in charge of the Colliery file, said further delays will make it increasingly more difficult for the city to meet that deadline. He also said a letter from a lawyer for the B.C. water comptroller directed the city to select a contractor by yesterday. The situation happened after McKay paused on regular council business to tell members of the audience to lower signs. McKay has in recent weeks clamped down on the use of signs in the public gallery, claiming they have contributed to an intimidating atmosphere and a breakdown in decorum. Monday was no exception, with the mayor at one point telling the room: “If we can’t get order in the gallery, we will adjourn.” McKay’s warnings drew repeated boos and shouts from some members in the gallery who had shown up to watch the vote. It also garnered a sharp response from other members of council, including Coun. Jim Kipp. “This is provocative, your worship,” Kipp said. “It started out quietly, every time, until you provocate by your one rule.” McKay cited section 133 of the community charter, which gives the presiding member of a council meeting the ability to expel a person from a meeting for acting “improperly.” Coun. Gord Fuller said he want-

ed council to consider an appeal to McKay’s stance under section 132 of the Community Charter, but McKay said that section did not apply. Fuller said the business of council “is not disrupted by signs,” but McKay stood firm. Eventually, the mayor declared the meeting adjourned, adding: “This meeting will reconvene once the gallery has been cleared.” However, four councillors did not return. “I’m outta here,” Kipp was overheard saying as he left. Fuller and councillors Jerry Hong and Bill Bestwick also left the meeting.
Coun. Bill Yoachim was absent. “Just as I do on every other occasion, when the meeting is adjourned I leave,” Bestwick said Tuesday in an email. “The meeting was not recessed, council was not sequestered to the board room for discussion. The meeting was adjourned.” McKay and councillors Diane Brennan, Wendy Pratt and Ian Thorpe stayed behind. McKay said calls made asking the departees to return failed. The four accused their colleagues of preventing a vote from taking place. Brennan said: “I never thought that they would be that reckless.” Thorpe said: “We’re looking at the same group of councillors who chose not to sign on to a code of conduct . . . that also talked about roles and responsibilities and councillors.” On Tuesday, Fuller said he stood by his decision, and said he
would do the same thing again under the same circumstances. “He needs to allow his decisions to be appealed and voted on by these members of council,” he said. A special open council meeting has been scheduled for today at 1 p.m. for a vote to award the contract. McKay said “the most important focus” will be awarding the contract for the work. “So we’ll see what happens,” he said. “It’s pretty hard to (do) anything about quorum when I don’t have support from council.” Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

A grisly find on a beach in Lantzville on the weekend turned out to be a burial-at-sea gone wrong. A couple had attempted to bury their male Yorkshire terrier off the beach near Sebastian Road, but it was found washed on shore by an area resident Sunday afternoon. The discovery raised community concern since the dog’s legs were found tied to a red harness which also had a rock attached to it. The find was reported to the Nanaimo RCMP who had an officer attend the scene. Vancouver Island’s senior animal protection officer Tina Heary confirmed there was no torture involved as euthanasia receipts from a veterinary clinic in Nanaimo were produced during the investigation. As a result, no necropsy was needed as part of what was initially treated as a cruelty investigation after the find was reported. “I’m not sure how it ended up on the beach,” said Heary who pondered whether the dog was buried in too-shallow waters. “People who take their pets home after euthanasia have to sign forms (which the couple did) and there are many things you have to adhere to. “For example, you can’t just bury your pet in your yard as you have to get the OK from the municipality. It also can’t just be sent off to the landfill. These people likely didn’t know what the consequences were.” Heary also said that the euthanized dog could have potentially caused damage to wildlife around the beach because of the toxic substance involved with euthanasia injections. “We had a situation some time ago where a cow was euthanized but the burial was delayed, so a lot of eagles who started pecking at it died.” Heary said the dog was elderly and it had been neutered.

Man pleads guilty to sexual assault Suspect also entered in guilty pleas to related charges of uttering threats and attempted choking SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
A man entered a guilty plea in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday to one count of sexual assault. Details were unavailable as to the particulars of the assault. Timothy James Wyslouzil also pleaded guilty to one count of uttering threats and attempting
to choke to overcome resistance. Wyslouzil is scheduled to make his next court appearance later this month. According to the Nanaimo court registry, other charges have also been filed against Wyslouzil of aggravated sexual assault, unlawful confinement or imprisonment and theft of a motor vehicle.
Wyslouzil’s lawyer Stephen Taylor entered the guilty pleas on behalf of his client, who appeared by video in the courtroom. Crown prosecutor Ken Paziuk said outside of court that he and Wyslouzil’s legal counsel have yet to agree upon a statement of facts relating to the charges. Paziuk said Wyslouzil has been
in custody on the charges since May of last year. Wyslouzil’s next appearance is set for Sept. 29, but sentencing is not expected to happen at that time. Taylor declined comment about the case when contacted by the Daily News. Because the charges relate to sexual assault, a publication ban prevents the victim from being

A Nanaimo woman has lost $10,000 in a phone scam after being told her son was in a car accident and needed money. The woman, 75, was called last week by a man pretending to be a police officer. The man said the woman’s son had been in a car accident and needed money to pay for deductible expenses. He convinced her that in order to help, she needed to send money orders to “Geyra Walwn.” Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP said the woman sent the money via a wire transfer at a small retail store after the man had provided her with a 10-digit transfer code for the money orders. The woman was also convinced to send Petro Pivot cards — pre-paid VISA cards that can only be used at Petro Canada gas stations. The woman waited a few days. When she did not hear back from her son or the caller by Sunday, she moved to tell her family and the Nanaimo RCMP. Family members found a male with the same name online who resides in Puerto Rico and is associated with a company based in Nigeria. O’Brien said the money is already lost. “She said she had upwards of 35 phone calls from this man. He was calling every several hours,” he said. O’Brien also said the call “had all the earmarkings of a scam” due to it being time-sensitive and having someone on the other end claiming to be in an official capacity. “There’s thousands of fraudulent characters and impostors out there and they tug at the heart strings,” he said. “This lady also went to a small retail store where the clerks weren’t trained to identify this kind of thing, whereas at stores like Money Mart the clerks are trained.” O’Brien advised those who receive similar calls to do background checks, ask questions and talk to family and friends first.

Kids and dogs smiling as officials break ground on new Nanaimo SPCA centre $3.6-million facility expected to increase public and pet access by next summer ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Sarah Wagner can’t wait for the SPCA’s new state-of-the-art Community Animal Centre in Nanaimo to open next year. The eight year-old and her dog Mimi, a 10-year-old pug, were on hand Tuesday for the ground-breaking of the new $3.4 million facility on Westwood Road. Sarah and her 10 year-old sister Zoe have just started volunteering at the SPCA’s aging 35 yearold animal shelter on Labieux Road as animal-care givers. They are looking forward to all the added space and amenities that the new facility will offer. “I’m really excited to volun-
teer at the new shelter when it’s open,” the youngster said while assembled dignitaries and politicians officially broke the ground for the new centre a few metres away. “It should be really neat.” The new 7,460 sq. ft. centre, which includes almost 12 acres of property, will replace the Labieux Road animal shelter, which is only approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and sits on a small parcel of land. Leon Davis, manager of the B.C. SPCA’s Nanaimo branch, said the current shelter is “falling apart” with holes in the drywall, failing pipes and rusting fences among the many concerns. He said the facility just doesn’t
meet the standards anymore that are expected in a modern-day animal facility, or for its employees and volunteers. “It’s getting harder and harder to keep the drywall and linoleum sanitized in the shelter,” Davis said. “With more room for care in a brand-new and fresh facility, the animals will be under less stress, which means less illness which means more adoptions.” Davis said the new centre will also allow for more opportunities to “bring the community in” to the new site. He said that with all the new space in the building and with 12 acres of new property, the SPCA intends to create an off-leash dog park and walking trails on site,

Artisans celebrate 40 Nanaimo years ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The downtown core has seen many changes since the Artisans’ Studio first opened its doors 40 years ago. The Artisans’ Studio, which has been in its current location at 70 Bastion Street for 38 years, is a co-operative for local artists. “We managed to survive over the decades through thick and thin,” said Gill Kanachowski, a member for 38 years. “The population of the whole city was just about 25,000 when we first started and there has been a lot of changes downtown since then,
with most for the better.” The studio will hold an open house on Sept. 12. • The TELUS Care-a-Van team is rolling into Nanaimo on Sept. 5 for a one-week visit to thank its local customers and the community. While here, team members will be going door-to-door with care packages for 150 loyal customers, and will be handing out free coffee and treats at local coffee shops, including Buzz Coffee House and COCO Cafe. The team will be travelling through Nanaimo with a tree this week and are inviting
residents to pin their names to the branches to get TELUS to donate $10 to the Georgia Strait Alliance. “To wrap up the week, we’re hosting a Customer Appreciation Lunch on September 12 for our longest-standing 800 customers,” said spokeswoman Caitlin Hall. Odds and ends • Nanaimo’s Bradley Guderyan and Kevin Rattray have passed the Uniform Evaluation exam, which was administered by the Chartered Accountants School of Business in June. • Mike Keough is the new manager of Nanaimo’s Cabelas store.

» Our View
Putting differences aside a matter of principle
E
verybody respects a person of principle. Each of us has certain things we will or will not do based on matters of principle. But it is time Nanaimo city councillors started thinking about putting their personal principles into the back seat behind the principles of good government. It’s one thing to take a stand on something you believe in. It is quite another to let your own pride and selfishness get in the way of running the city. As tiresome as the issue may have become for some, the future of the Colliery Dam is one of the more important decisions facing Nanaimo. On Monday night, council gathered to award the contract
for a multimillion-dollar project to bring the dam up to provincial standards. Time was of the essence, with the city facing a provincial order that the project be “substantially” completed by Nov. 15, followed up by a letter stating Victoria expected the contract to be awarded by Sept. 1. If you haven’t checked your calendar lately, that was yesterday. Instead of dealing with the important business at hand, council allowed itself to be diverted — again — by trivial distractions. Mayor Bill McKay, as he has on several occasions during his term, interrupted procedures in an attempt to clear the gallery of waving signs. His intent was to adjourn until the room returned to what he considered a proper
level of decorum. Councillor Gord Fuller challenged McKay on that decision, under some obscure clause of the Community Charter. McKay refused under another obscure clause. As a result, three other councillors joined Fuller in heading home. And the deadline for this important contract has passed without a resolution. There is no need for anyone to choose between pointing fingers at the four who walked out, or at the mayor and the three who stood beside him. Instead, blame should be apportioned equally between each and every person who has been gathering around that council table since last November for allowing the situation to deteriorate to this point.
Every organization is composed of people who disagree with each other. Many are made up of people whose disagreements cross the line into dislike. But successful organizations are able to put those disagreements aside in order to take care of business. Nanaimo council is increasingly showing itself incapable of doing that. Remember, this is a group that failed to even gain consensus on what constitutes an acceptable code of conduct — a basic set of ground rules spelling out how to get along. Turf wars based on procedural technicalities and personal animosities have no place in the council chamber. Some people gathered in council chambers Monday probably care
deeply about whether the mayor is right in his continued battle with protesters in the gallery. The general public though cares more about whether or not the nine people they voted into power last fall are taking care of the public interest. That’s because — unlike council — the general public has its priorities straight. What could possibly excuse Monday’s debacle as anything but an example of collectively poor leadership? It’s time for councillors to put their personal issues aside and get focused on the job at hand. That should be a matter of principle. » We want to hear from you.

Alaska sits in judgment of British Columbia
E
nergy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett spent much of last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fishermen and environmentalists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s. Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.’s proposed new mines includes a 23-km pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for processing. This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our American cousins. Only our industry is questioned. Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was blamed on a mistake by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And in Alaska as in the rest of the U.S., new metal mines such as the giant Pebble project depend on the same engineering and testing as ours. Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views Elizabeth May calling a news conference to announce she is (brace yourself) opposed to pipelines and tankers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point, where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refinery complexes just out of sight at Anacortes and Cherry Point in Washington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there. Without a drunk-captain incident since 1989, these tankers load up at the terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Let’s take a closer look. For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern outpost of Deadhorse to Valdez in the south, just east of Anchorage where cruise ships dock. In his new book, Rust: The
Longest War, science writer Jonathan Waldman calls it “the biggest, baddest oil pipeline in the world. “From Prudhoe Bay to Prince William Sound, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System stretches 800 miles, which leaves engineer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the Western Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the four-foot steel tube spits out $50 million of oil.” It was once the largest private infrastructure in the U.S. Today it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” looking for soft spots in the permafrost. And this isn’t low-fat, shadegrown oil for Seattle fuel-sippers. It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion. The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in produc-
tion for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day. Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. » Tom Fletcher is a legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Kelowna man claims to have the world’s largest cucumber
Hydro defends response to windstorm
Next up for 30-year Okanagan gardener is creating the globe’s biggest pickle
BC Hydro is defending its efforts to restore power after a freak summer wind storm cut electricity to 533,000 Lower Mainland homes Saturday and left many residents scrambling to deal with thawing freezer food as the outages dragged on to a second and third day. About 110,000 homes were still without power Sunday night and that dropped to 32,000 by 4 p.m. Monday — more than 50 hours after some of the outages began — drawing outrage online about spoiling food. BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer said field managers have never seen a storm this challenging before. “What made this storm so unique is that we had so many customers without power all on one day,” Heer said. “The last storm of this magnitude was in 2006. We had hundreds of thousands of customers without power then as well, but it was over a couple of days.” The sheer number of downed branches and trees over lines made it more difficult to reconnect homes, she added.
CAMILLE BAINS THE CANADIAN PRESS
The record for the world’s longest cucumber might belong to a Kelowna, man who’s also vying to have the longest pickle on the planet. Daniel Tomelin, 54, said his garden has produced the king of all cucumbers, somehow splitting off from the crowd and going above and beyond his wildest expectations. “I let the thing grow and it was just starting to touch the ground and I was kind of saying, ’What is the world’s largest cucumber?’ I didn’t even have a clue.” He looked online, at the Guinness World Records site, where he learned the record for the longest cucumber is 105 centimetres, or about 41.5 inches. He said he was gobsmacked when his cuke measured 42.5 inches. The cucumber measured 113 centimetres, or 44.5 inches, on Monday, two weeks after he filed his application. Tomelin decided he would

pickle the cucumber and also made a claim for the longest pickle in the world in a category that doesn’t exist. Then he bought two long vases and fashioned them into one big
vessel to use as a pickle jar for the dark- and light-green-striped cucumber of the painted serpent variety. “I used my big rock saw and cut the base off of one and I glued the two together. So now it’s four feet high. And I’ve taken the base that I cut off (to use) as a lid for it,” he said of the makeshift pickle jar. Two local gardening experts have measured his cucumber and verified his claim, Tomelin said, adding Guinness World Records has notified him that his application for the cucumber will be processed in about six weeks. It will be about 12 weeks before he hears back about the pickle, Tomelin said. His garden — which includes 40 to 50 varieties of tomatoes — is hearty, but he doesn’t use any “steroids” to grow his vegetables, Tomelin said. “I’ve been doing this for more than 30 years so I’ve perfected various tricks for planting in thick organic matter.”
JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS
The secret to his success is deep-mulch gardening, which uses leaves and doesn’t allow the soil to be exposed, Tomelin said. He collects up to 300 bags of leaves in the fall and dumps them in the ground, and that prevents up to 70 per cent less water loss, Tomelin said, adding he doesn’t do any weeding. As for the tilling, the worms and micro-organisms do that. “The worms and the microbes have been partying hard all winter long. So the soil is super soil and anything planted in it, they’re the happiest plants on the face of the planet.” Tomelin said his garden has been nominated for a greenthumb award by the local chapter of the national Communities in Bloom program and is becoming known locally for the giant cucumber. “It’s just a little miracle that happened in my garden,” Tomelin said of his prized cucumber. “I have all kinds of miracles happen in that place.”

Missing Campbell River man found
Water bomber gets makeover
Firm hopes to relaunch dormant tungsten mine
When a missing persons search is called off after seven days without updates, it’s generally not a good sign. Last week’s search for Josiah Laird was called off over the weekend, however, thankfully because he was found alive and well. Laird, 35, was working with Bee Line Taxi in Campbell River Aug. 22 when he disappeared during his shift. The Toyota Prius he was driving was found later that same morning on Holberg Road west of Port Hardy. Search and Rescue, RCMP Air Services, Police Dog Services and Underwater Recovery Team searched the area where the vehicle was located, to no avail. After a week without update, the Vancouver Island RCMP Twitter account updated the situation on Aug. 28, saying,“Josiah Laird has been located. He is safe & with his family. No further details will be given to respect his privacy.”
The twin Mars water bombers don’t look quite the same anymore. One half the team — the mighty Philippine bomber — has undergone a visual restoration in preparation for its transfer to the U.S. National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. The familiar red and white was stripped off to reveal the bomber’s original look. “It’s painted in the same paint scheme and markings as it was the day it was delivered in 1945,” said Wayne Coulson, CEO of the firm that owns the classic plane. In exchange for the historic aircraft, the museum is sending Coulson’s company two C-130 Hercules planes and eight smaller aircraft, which they would then overhaul and sell, he said. Along with four other Mars bombers, the Philippine was originally constructed by the Glenn L. Martin Company for the U.S. Navy for service during World War II.
Margaux Resources hopes to re-open the tungsten and leadzinc mine near Salmo. The underground mine closed down in 1973 when commodity prices dipped too low to keep the operation going. Officials say the project will offer 120 full-time jobs over the mine’s 10-year lifespan.

‘Bam Bam’ will fight for Canadian championship PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS
Qualicum Beach’s Aubrey “Bam Bam” Morrow will fight Oct. 24 in Quebec for the Canadian Middleweight Championship. Morrow, who last defeated Paul Bzdel for the Western Canadian Middleweight title at Nanaimo’s Rumble at the Rink in May, will face Canadian Middleweight champ Francis Lafreniere in his
home province of Quebec. With a record of eight wins (seven by knockout), one loss and two draws, Morrow faces an opponent in Lafreniere who has a record of 9-5-2. In fact, it was Lafreniere beating Bzdel in a unanimous decision for the Canadian Middleweight title in 2014. Morrow stopped Bzdel in the seventh round of their fight, who
proved to be a very tough and worthy opponent for both Morrow and Lafrenier. “We planned for him to be tough and he definitely surprised us,” Morrow said after the fight at Frank Crane Arena. “He stuck it out. A couple times I had him put away — the shots that I hit him with usually put other people away — so it was surprising.”

Valley Huskers’ player recovering after injury suffered in Nanaimo SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
The Valley Huskers player taken from the field by ambulance during Saturday’s Canadian Junior Football League Game in Nanaimo against the Vancouver Island Raiders is recovering from non-serious injuries, according to the team’s head coach. During the fourth quarter of the 53-0 Raiders win at Caledonia Park, Valley (Chilliwack)
defensive lineman Jessie Smith suffered a neck injury and lay near motionless for an extended period of time before being taken off the field on a stretcher by ambulance and fire personnel to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. “Jessie is doing way better,” said Valley head coach Adam Smith. “He was released from the hospital that night and made it on the ferry with us.
“He is really stiff as his neck muscles are strained bad but there is no serious damage.” While Jessie Smith was on the field, both teams took a knee with concern for his wellbeing. “The V.I. Raiders Organization was first class in handling and helping us out with the whole situation,” he said. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
Nanaimo’s Josh Burgmann led Team Canada to a win over the Chinese Taipei in his first pitching appearance at the Under-18 Baseball World Cup in Osaka, Japan on Sunday. Burgmann, 17, was handed the mound in Team Canada’s opening game of the tournament and threw 95 pitches in seven innings of work with six strike-outs while giving up just three hits and one earned run. Canada beat the Chinese Taipei 6-2. “Josh Burgmann was outstanding (on the mound),” said Team Canada manager Greg Hamilton in a media release. “We played defence behind him and got key hits when we needed them.” Burgmann, the 17-year-old staff ace with the Nanaimo Pirates, has one year left of midget ball in the B.C. Premier Baseball League after he helped the Pirates to the PBL final last month. He expects to make a decision soon on where he will play his college baseball, and also hopes to be selected in the 2016 Major League Baseball draft. With the eyes of scouts on him at the World Cup, he didn’t disappoint. “I felt great (on the mound),” Burgmann said. “I tried to throw my fastball inside on their hitters because I know they don’t like it in there, and I was able to get my curve ball over (the plate) as well.” Burgmann, who is normally a designated hitter with the Pirates, was forced into hitting

duties against the Chinese Taipei after an injury to a teammate. At the plate in the third inning, he hit an RBI-single that sparked the Canadian offence. “It was fun,” said Burgmann of being inserted into the batting order. “I actually enjoy hitting. “The pitcher for Taipei was pretty good. I thought it would be a challenge so I came out (on the) first pitch and took a swing, and it worked out well.” Hamilton, with his team at 1-0 on the tournament after the win, was clearly pleased with his starting pitcher. “Josh means a lot to this lineup, obviously,” he said. “He likes (being in) the moment, he can deliver and he doesn’t get exposed, right or left.” Canada has since lost 6-2 to South Korea and 11-1 to Cuba, but has also picked up a 10-0 win against Italy. Burgmann has yet to pitch since the opener. They take on South Africa today. Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Hawkins ready for Lions debut
Fred Taylor cut by Bills, meets with Seahawks
Former Tennessee Titans receiver will suit up for B.C. against the Alouettes JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
SURREY — Lavelle Hawkins couldn’t believe his luck. The veteran receiver with the B.C. Lions was going through the paces on the very first day of his first CFL training camp this spring when he suffered a broken arm during a drill, putting the latest chapter of his football career on hold before it had a chance to get off the ground. “I had my mojo back,” the native of Stockton, Calif., recalled Tuesday. “The first day I was like ... ’Are you serious?”’ The Lions placed Hawkins, who played for the Tennessee Titans from 2008 to 2012 prior to bouncing between four NFL teams over the next two seasons, on the six-game injured list. The 29-year-old with a distinctive scar on his left forearm from the break was moved to the onegame injured list last month and will finally make his B.C. debut on Thursday when the Lions (3-5)
HAWKINS
visit the Montreal Alouettes (4-5). “I’m excited to get out there with the fellas, just to get out there and get involved,” said Hawkins, who caught 71 passes for 771 yards and one touchdown during his five years with the Titans. “These guys have been working their butts off. I’m just happy to be able to come out and help.” A Lions’ offence that has struggled for much of the season — it ranks second last in yards per
game and third last in passing yards — needs all the help it can get. Running back Andrew Harris has been one of the lone bright spots, but opponents have keyed on him during two straight losses, including a 23-13 home defeat to Montreal on Aug. 20. The Lions are coming off a bye week and have made a couple of moves to try to spark their attack and stretch defences, including the release of tight end A.C. Leonard, the promotion of wide receiver Bryan Burnham to the first team and activating Hawkins. “It marks a little bit of a change of philosophy for us,” said quarterback Travis Lulay. “We want to be more productive on offence and add a couple elements that haven’t been on the roster for us that we think have a chance to make a positive difference.” Lions head coach Jeff Tedford, who worked with Hawkins dur-
ing their time in the NCAA with the California Golden Bears and again last season when both were with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in training camp, is excited to see him back in game action. “Lavelle’s a pro. He’s been around football a long time,” said Tedford. “He has a lot of ability, speed, agility (and) quickness.” Hawkins stayed with the Lions during most of his injury rehabilitation and said it will take more than just him to right what has been an up-and-down first eight games for B.C. “I’m just a football player. That’s it,” he said. “It’s just about clicking. It doesn’t matter what kind of athletes you’ve got. If it’s not clicking it’s going to be tough.” Notes: Burnham will likely take the spot of Courtney Taylor in the lineup. ... The Alouettes held Harris to just 10 yards on eight carries when the teams last met.
After being released by the Buffalo Bills, running back Fred Jackson is looking for an opportunity to reunite with former teammate Marshawn Lynch in Seattle. Jackson travelled to Seattle to meet with the Seahawks on Tuesday, but coach Pete Carroll cautioned that no deal has been struck. Carroll said Jackson would be going through a physical. “This is a visit for us. It’s not a signing,” Carroll said. “We have tremendous respect for Fred as a player. He’s obviously got a wealth of background, he’s tough, he’s sharp, he’s smart, so we need to see where he is right now at 34 years old and see what he looks like.” Jackson, an eight-year veteran, became a free agent on Monday when the Bills cut the respected team leader and fan favourite. The interest in Jackson emerged when Seattle learned that backup running back Robert Turbin suffered a significant high-ankle sprain in Saturday’s preseason game against San Diego and there is no estimate of when he’ll be able to return. — AP

Eastrosewiththeace,cashed thekingofclubsandshiftedto the spade three. Declarer won the ace, drew trump ending on the table and played off the diamond winners discarding two spades from the closed hand. He drove out the ace of clubs to earn ten tricks and the game bonus, N-S +620. A club lead defeats the contract as long as East switches to a spade at trick two. Admittedly, this beginning is a very unlikely choice but West should not lead a diamond. North’s cubid disclosed a limit raise or better of hearts. This afforded East an opportunity to make a lead- directing double. His failure to do so revealed that he did not want a diamond lead. West must then choose a black suit where a spade appears best since West holds the king. Unfortunately, this choice will not alter the outcome because South owns the ace and queen. The nine-trick game cannot be defeated on this layout but North was not inclined to bid 3NT without anything of value in the spade suit. East will lead a diamond but North will drive out the ace and king of clubs. The defense will only be entitledtotwoclubs,a diamondandthekingof spades.

L’HEUREUX, PAUL SR
Mike Taugher (1956-2015)
Beloved life partner, son, brother, uncle, friend, colleague and mentor, Mike Taugher passed away unexpectedly on August 18. Mike is survived by life partner Ros Davies, parents Ed and Mary Taugher, brothers Jay (Cathy and children Kiana and Colin) and Kyle (Sharon and children Connor and Katie), Gloria Davies, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will also be missed by good companion Thor. Mike led a rich and fulfilling life. He loved the outdoors and especially being on the water, whether sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, or kayaking, and he also enjoyed riding with his mountain biking friends. Professionally, Mike was a central figure in the Mid-Vancouver Island theatre community: Theatre Department Chair at Vancouver Island University, founder of the Nanaimo Fringe Festival, lighting and set designer par excellence for many productions, and a much admired mentor to many students, a number of them now successfully established in the profession. Creative and a patient craftsman, Mike was a lot like MacGyver; family, friends, and colleagues knew they could always count on him for a clever solution to any problem. Mike was a humble and quiet man, yet passionate about his work. He was also extremely generous, and one of his final wishes was to establish a scholarship for deserving Theatre students at Vancouver Island University. Those wishing to honour Mike’s memory by donating to the Mike Taugher Scholarship can do so through the Vancouver Island University Foundation (foundation@viu.ca).

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar
have ramifications involved. An idea that has been hovering in your mind just might work. You’ll want to make sure everything goes as you would like it to. Tonight: Tell it like it is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You don’t have to agree with the group, but it would be wise to keep your thoughts to yourself at this point. Others come to you for creative brainstorming. At that point, you might be able to offer your suggestions. Tonight: You smile, and others come toward you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will attract more of what you want if you can look at a situation and decide how reasonable it is to continue on your present path. Make no decisions just yet. Given a few days, you will know exactly what to do. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Honor a fast change. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You gain a different perspective when surrounded by others. However, some of you might
YOUR BIRTHDAY (Sept. 2): This year is one of the most positive ones you will have experienced in a while. You will be lucky, yet you also will have a tendency to overindulge. Understand your limits, and make adjustments that you feel are important. If you are single, you might meet someone who encourages you to broaden your horizons. This person could play a significant role in this year, and possibly many more. If you are attached, the two of you will decide to initiate a new phase in your relationship. You could become more me-oriented, so make sure to give equal attention to your significant other. TAURUS is much more stubborn than you are. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your determination emerges. You’ll dive into an issue, professionally or personally, that could
decide to argue each point being presented. If you feel your perspective is that important, then the differences between you and others are worth looking at. Tonight: Hang out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t get too set in your ways. Stubbornness does nothing to improve a difficult situation. In fact, power plays need to be avoided right now. Try not to get into the details of a disagreement, especially if you can stay out of the matter altogether. Tonight: Pace yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lady Luck will be with you, as long as you don’t decide to do anything too far-out. Your smile will express confidence and could take you a long way. Brainstorm your way through a problem. Once you gain a better perspective, you’ll come up with a solution. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be on your way to taking a grand leap into the unknown, but you might not even realize
it. Note whether you are an emotional thinker. If you see that tendency, be more aware of your feelings, but opt for logic. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination gives you the ability to move forward and make strong decisions. Others see the role your intuitive side plays in your life. Many of them would like to access that same side themselves. Help them do just that. Tonight: Defer to a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Actions count. Do what you must, but also clear out errands and calls that you have been postponing. Tap into your resourcefulness once you complete these tasks. Spend time with a close friend, even if it is on the phone. Tonight: Make sure you are getting enough exercise CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to a child or new friend. A quality about this per-
son makes you laugh and relax, and his or her presence in your life remains positive. As a result, you will gain a new perspective. Open up to a more spontaneous way of living. Tonight: Be more childlike. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Remain content, even if a situation around your personal life is not going well or as you would like it to. You can’t have control over this matter, because one or more people are involved. No one has the right to control someone else. Tonight: At home PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind, and remain sure of yourself. You could be challenged by others. You will want to respond to questions positively, as this will help you to re-examine your ideas. You’ll want to make sure your position is as strong as possible. Tonight: Hang with a friend.

ADVICE
Husband found promise of new lifestyle exciting, freeing found her vulgar, overweight, unattractive and heavily tattooed. Fran talked nonstop about herself, bragging about her time in a biker club where she enjoyed “getting wasted on drugs and having random sex,” a lifestyle she wanted to get back into. Within weeks, Ron changed his tune about Fran. He decided she was “cool,” and he, too, wanted a life that included drugs and random sex. He and Fran began to text and call each other daily, often right in front of me. Ron began to find fault with everything I said or did, and criticized me to others.
Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: After 14 years of marriage, my husband, “Ron,” left me for another woman. Here’s how it happened: For several years, friends had dinner with us once a week. One day, they brought along “Fran,” a recently widowed woman they took under their wing. Ron initially told me he
He even assaulted me physically and then stopped speaking to me for months. Finally, he left and moved in with Fran. Annie, I did everything for Ron. I helped support us with my full-time job while doing all the cooking and cleaning. Our sex life was great. I kept myself slim and attractive. Nearly a year after Ron left, he begged me for forgiveness, and I agreed to let him come home provided he got into anger management counseling. I also told him if he ever assaulted me verbally or physically again, I would terminate the marriage.
With counseling, Ron became a different man, loving and supportive, and very apologetic. But to this day, he has been unable to tell me what he found so provocative about Fran, a woman he now says he abhors. Why would a man leave a loving relationship for one that is so destructive? If any of the men in your reading audience have done this, could they tell me why? And were they happy? — Waiting for Answers Dear Waiting: We don’t believe Fran was the attraction. We think it was the promise of her
