Cost to prep hotel site for parking lot could hit $163K

Grocery stores may require rezoning to sell booze SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Costs for street-lighting for the parking lot and landscaping are considered optional and total $26,000. The city report recommends that council does not proceed with the work. “As a pay parking lot, staff believes the lot will achieve a low utilization rate and will compete with the existing free on-street parking options and with the underground parking facilities next door,” the report says. It adds revenue from the lot would not recover costs that council should decide on a longterm use for the property before proceeding with any work. Council is set to discuss the report at Monday’s meeting.

City council is being asked to weigh in on possible changes to liquor licensing that would force grocery stores selling B.C. wines to apply for rezoning. The request from city staff to elected officials comes as new provincial rules on liquor licences come into effect, which will allow grocery stores to hold liquor licences for the first time. Two ways of selling alcohol are available to grocers. The first is a liquor retail store licence which will effectively allow either private or government liqour vendors to operate in grocery stores through a ‘store within a store’ model. The second way is new provincial regulations that allow grocery stores to sell B.C.-made wine, spirits and sake on grocery shelves. Currently, all liquor retail stores require site-specific zoning in the city, and a rezoning application would be required for an LRS licence that is auctioned off and relocated inside of a grocery store. However, the current zoning is silent on the sale of wine, ciders and sake in grocery stores, which city staff say could be considered a regular retail use under the current zoning. Council could decide to require rezoning for that use as well, a staff report says. Alternatively, council could amend the bylaw to allow the sale of those products as a regular permitted use. If the city opted to require a rezoning application from grocery stores hoping to sell liquor, that would entail costs for each business. Dale Lindsay, director of community development with the city, estimated that fees and other costs, such as consultants, can see a rezoning application run from $1,500 to $5,000.

The Gordon Street hotel site in Nanaimo may become a new parking lot. [SPENCER ANDERSON/DAILY NEWS]

Staff report recommends against alterations SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

I

t’s hardly paradise, so Nanaimo city council is considering paving it to put up a parking lot. The downtown Gordon Street hotel site is overgrown with weeds and, until recently, festooned with tattered signage promising a glimmering luxury hotel. However, doing so will cost between $72,500 and $163,000, depending on if the lot is paved or covered in gravel. And a city report ordered by council last month recommends against altering the site. The latest hotel deal for the property fell through in June, after city council voted 5-4 to refuse a one-year extension sought by Chinese developer SSS

Manhao on a deadline to complete the building foundation for the project. Council later offered a sixmonth extension, but the developer withdrew, citing what it described as a lack of support from council on the project. Some council members had complained about a lack of communication from the developer to the city over delays to the project, as well as the increasingly-disheveled appearance of the project site. With the hotel deal dead, council unanimously passed a motion from Coun. Bill Bestwick — one of the councillors to vote against a one-year extension for the hotel project — to bring back a staff report on clean-up options and temporary, alternative uses for the parcel.

The report lays out two basic designs for a proposed parking lot and includes a breakdown of costs. According to the report, a gravel lot is the cheapest option, requiring $40,500 worth of site grading, top fill and recycled asphalt, plus just over $18,000 for engineering and cost contingencies, in addition to other costs. Full asphalt paving would be significantly more expensive, the report claims. Although site grading and fill costs would be about $30,000, asphalt and line painting would bring additional costs of $76,000. Other expenses include power hookup for parking meters, wheel stops and signage. Removal of fencing around the property has already happened, and was projected to cost $3,500.

French immersion numbers soar Nearly 1,800 students enrolled in Nanaimo-Ladysmith district program; 182 more than last year ment in French immersion, which has risen from just a few hundred students when it was first introduced in the late 1970s. Peter Hewitt, vice-principal for French immersion at Nanaimo District Secondary School, said enrolment in the program in Nanaimo-Ladysmith is not centred in any one area or limited to any socio-economic group. “The program offers an extra challenge to families who are

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

There are 1,792 students in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district enrolled in French immersion K-12 programs this year. That is 182 more than last year and represents approximately 13 per cent of the entire student population in the district. Like the rest of the province, Nanaimo-Ladysmith has been experiencing skyrocketing enrol-

looking for something for their kids beyond the district’s regular programs,” Hewitt said. “The program is also fully funded and parents are not required to pay extra fees. There are many benefits to becoming functionally bilingual in French, including becoming more qualified for government and other jobs.” French immersion is offered in four elementary schools in the district – Pauline Haarer,

Quarterway, Hammond Bay and North Oyster – and students can continue the program through high school at NDSS. Hewitt said the district has no current plans to expand the program, but there have been some discussion around tweaking French immersion in both the district’s south and north ends. He said there is a “grassroots group” in Ladysmith who want Ladysmith Secondary School to offer the secondary

French immersion program there due to travelling constraints. “The program at Hammond Bay school is full again this year and there are wait lists so many parents in the north end would like another elementary school in the area with a French immersion program,” Hewitt said.

Multicultural society hosts an open house for potential refugee sponsors

Group aims to revitalize its own network

JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

In response to interest in assisting refugees in their quest to come to Canada, the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society will host an open house later this month for potential sponsors. All those who want more information, from interested individuals to dedicated groups, are welcome, said executive director Hilde Schlosar. The event will include presentations by a refugee sponsorship agreement holder, as well as a representative from a group currently in the process of sponsoring a refugee family that are going through the last hurdle. “We’ve had calls primarily from people who are wanting more information about the sponsorship process, so this is our response to that,” said Schlosar. “It gives them a starting point, because everybody’s saying they want to do it but it’s not a simple process. So they’ll have more of a reality check and more information, and then if they’re serious they can move forward.” The event will also be a useful networking opportunity for people at all levels of the sponsorship process, like Kathy Potts of the Ladysmith Refugee Sponsorship Group. In 2011 the group successfully sponsored a Palestinian family via Syria. The family now lives in Burnaby. “It was expedited because they were in the El Hol refugee camp

exports continues to grow. Richard Rees, president of CPABC, said despite a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices and global economic uncertainties, B.C. is poised to lead the rest of the provinces with a projected GDP growth rate ranging between 2.2 and 3.0 per cent in 2015. “As of June, the value of B.C. exports reached close to $18 billion so far this year,” Rees said.

With so many businesswomen in Nanaimo, Shari Molchan and Kim Chalmers are working hard to restore an organization that works to support them. Molchan and Chalmers are the president and vice-president, respectively, of the revitalized Nanaimo Women’s Business Network, a non-profit organization that originally began in 1995. Molchan said the recession that began in 2008 saw many members leave the network, and the organization lost effective leadership that saw its meetings become more like coffee-house gatherings than ones with speakers and other helpful offerings. She said Chalmers, herself and other members worked hard over the past year to bring the membership back up to 120, and she wants to see that number double. “There’s no other women’s network in the city right now, so we want to build a community of business women and provide them with support systems and networking and educational opportunities to inspire and motivate them in both their business and personal lives,” Molchan said. “A lot of our members are solo entrepreneurs who appreciate the opportunity to have an organization where they can bounce their ideas around and network with other business women in the city. We want our members to learn new skills and to meet new people to help them with their businesses, but it’s also important for them to have fun as well.” Molchan said the Nanaimo Women’s Business Network meets the first Tuesday of the month, with the next one scheduled for Oct. 6 at the Coast Bastion Hotel. She said any woman interested in attending can register on the network’s website at www.nanaimowbn.com or by calling her at 250-755-4004. “The network has a clear focus of helping the women in Nanaimo and Central Vancouver Island to grow and build their businesses,” Molchan said.

and there was a particular effort to empty that refugee camp. It was a UNHCR camp, it was going to be ended because it wasn’t safe anymore, so they put all the refugees on a list that Canada was accepting.” Then, the process only took a few months, said Potts, but now it can take anywhere from two to

four years. Currently gearing up to sponsor another family currently in Syria, the group is busy with the fundraising necessary to be accepted by an approved sponsorship agreement holder. They hope this will be the United Church in Ladysmith, who are currently accepting pledges on their behalf.

Their goal is $23,000 and they are not yet quite halfway, said Potts. The CVIMS event takes place on Sept. 21 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Beban Park. Julie.Chadwick @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4238

The province’s professional accountants acknowledge that 2014 was a “challenging year” for Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, but projected the economy in the region should show significant improvements for the rest of 2015. The Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia’s annual Regional Check-Up reported that, among other economic indicators, tourism was down on the Island and Sunshine Coast from previous years, and

Proper respect needed for sports officials

O

fficials (referees, umpires, judges) are an integral part of team sports involving our children. But even in 2015, they don’t get the respect they deserve. It’s often said they’re doing their best work when no one notices them. Unfortunately, incidents keep cropping up where you notice them — a lot. The latest absurd incident of official abuse took place last week in Texas. It has sparked outcry across North America after a video went viral. Two high school football players are accused of intentionally running into the official. Video from the game showed the ref watching a play, and his head snapping back when he is lev-

elled from behind before another player dove on top of him. Of course now, the hyperbole has been running rampant on all fronts. School district officials have said that during the game, the suspended players “were feeling lots of frustration by what they perceived to be missed or wrong calls by the refs.” The players also alleged the referee directed racial slurs at them. The ref’s attorney has denied this, saying the man has been a game official for 14 years and was recently nominated for president of the Austin chapter of the Texas Association of Sports Officials. The governing body for Texas high school sports questioned Wednesday whether the coaches

of the accused players should have done more to calm emotions in a tense game. Another allegation indicates the hit was prompted by something said by an assistant coach. For now, the two players and the assistant coach have been suspended. The case has prompted a potential criminal investigation, with the harshest critics calling for jail time for the players and the complete dismantling of the school’s football program. Overall, it boils down to a lack of respect for game officials. One that is fostered by what we see on TV, with coaches and players berating referees or umpires, fans raining down catcalls and the like. There is no excuse whatsoever for what the players did to the

ref. None. If he happened to make some terrible calls, that happens. If he did use racial slurs, he is despicable, but in that case you report it, not take matters into your own hands. If the action was somehow ordered by a coach, the players aren’t five, they should surely know better than to follow orders like that. If officials can’t feel safe on a particular playing field (or rink), the very fabric of the game is threatened. Nanaimo made national headlines several years back when some dullard thought it would be acceptable to lock a teenage official in a referee’s room at a minor hockey game. Two other adults accosted another teenage ref in the parking lot after an

atom hockey game. It’s embarrassing and not enough progress has been made. More recently, we’ve had the Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association moving to toss out spectators who disrespect officials. Again, a good move, but is it enough? We should be thankful for the people who step up to officiate sports for our children. They’re certainly not doing it for the money. It can be hard enough to find folks for such a thankless task, if verbal abuse is heaped upon you. If you’re also facing the possibility of physical abuse, that candidate pool dwindles even further. More needs to be done to teach proper respect for these officials.

Voters can have final say on council makeup Moving into Nanaimo, it was time to vote for a new mayor and

council. We hadn’t a clue who to vote for. Thanks to the newspaper, they covered each person’s information, so we really tried out best to pick the right people. However, seeing the amount of letters and what has been going on with the mayor and council, we find it very disturbing. We wanted people with experience who would work together and improve things; to respect each other and not be at each other’s throats all the time. To have to spend taxpayers’ money to have classes to tell them how to behave is outrageous. Whatever happened to manners and respect? If they don’t have that, they are not fit to be in those jobs.

Urinating candidate caught in unethical report Harper saw fit to fire a Conserv-

ative candidate for urinating in a cup. This fellow probably had a full bladder and had to go now or wet his pants. Don’t tell me that none of you have ever been caught that short. This gentleman obviously did not know his privacy was being invaded by a hidden camera. I don’t question the rights of CBC to film at this location, but I question their rights and their moral ethics to have released this film to Harper and the news media. I wonder if anyone else caught in this situation would sooner wet their pants then to have peed in a cup, as the ex-candidate chose to do. How would Harper or any of his followers like to have an unknown video of themselves (caught in one of their very compromising situations) and have it spread all over for the world to see? When asked about the quality of candidates he was attracting, Harper’s reply was what this says is that we keep the highest standards for candidates and these two individuals are no longer candidates.”

Fantastic! What a pipe dream. “Highest-standard politicians” indeed. The man that peed in the cup hurt no one at all, but Harper and his followers accumulating hundreds of millions of the taxpayers money to squander on his self-serving attempt to stay in office has hurt countless millions of people. This money in the hands of a real “highest-standard politician” would have been spent on a far better cause. The most dangerous people are not the unethical politicians, but rather the people who condone this immoral behaviour and continue to keep them in office.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Canadian Press ◆ RED DEER

Man parked in hospital lot found with firearms Police in central Alberta have laid charges after finding a man in a hospital parking lot with numerous stolen firearms in his possession. RCMP say they were called to the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Friday and arrested a man outside the emergency room doors. Officers seized seven rifles, two shotguns, large amounts of ammunition and a small amount of crystal meth. Mounties say many of the guns had been stolen during a residential break-in the day before in Stettler. Other items that were recovered included stolen coins and jewelry from a theft in Munson and a licence plate taken in Rocky Mountain House. Dixon Ross Bergseth, who is 37 and from Red Deer, faces nearly two dozen charges — most of them weapons-related. He is to appear in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday.

◆ REGINA

Lieutenant-governor thanks Queen for service Saskatchewan’s lieutenant-governor is thanking the Queen for her record number of years on the throne. Vaughn Solomon Schofield told residents at a Regina seniors home that the Queen is an impressive woman who has dedicated her life to others. She says it’s important to recognize the milestone in the Saskatchewan capital, also known as the Queen City. Queen Elizabeth II is now the longest-reigning British monarch. She has surpassed the 63 years and 216 days that her greatgreat-grandmother Victoria reigned.

◆ WINNIPEG

Man accused of sending letter bombs denied bail A Winnipeg man accused of sending letter bombs to his ex-wife and two lawyers has been denied bail. Guido Amsel will remain in custody until his trial on charges that include three counts of attempted murder. Provincial court Judge Heather Pullan says she sees no way to effectively monitor someone accused of sending explosives through the mail — an offence she described as “clever, cunning and extremely dangerous.” Her decision follows three days of evidence presented at Amsel’s bail hearing, which cannot be reported due to a publication ban. Amsel was arrested in early July after the bombs were sent to his ex-wife’s workplace and the lawyers who had represented Amsel and his wife in their divorce. Two bombs were safely disposed of but one bomb exploded, severely injuring lawyer Maria Mitousis. Amsel’s lawyer says his client did not commit the crime. No date has been set for a trial.

ELECTION 2015

Party leaders focus in on vote-rich Ontario heartland

Ontario starved for jobs, but swimming in votes; leaders hone in on manufacturing MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Battleground Ontario: starved for jobs, but swimming in votes. Hardly surprising, then, that the three main federal leaders found themselves using the province’s ailing manufacturing sector as a backdrop Wednesday for a one-day clash of economic visions. Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair all focused their campaigns in southern Ontario’s manufacturing heartland, where one of the country’s most powerful economic engines has been sputtering for years. Harper spoke for nearly an hour in a controlled question-and-answer session with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, one of his favourite public event formats for burnishing his credentials as an steward of the economy. Harper fielded a series of soft, policy-laden questions as he attacked the economic bona fides of both the Trudeau Liberals and Mulcair’s New Democrats. “I will tell you this right now, looking at Ontario, looking at Alberta ... if we get a high-tax Liberal or NDP government federally that will be absolute disaster for this country,” Harper said in Welland, Ont., to partisan applause. In Niagara Falls, Mulcair made a five-year, $90-million

spending pledge for the federal automotive supplier innovation program. “It’s time to get good-paying auto manufacturing jobs back to these communities,” he said at an auto parts factory. But Mulcair continued to face pressure to explain how he would balance next year’s budget with a menu of big-ticket campaign promises, and which ones he would forgo if necessary to make it happen. Among other things, the NDP has promised to create one million $15-a-day child-care spaces,

which carries a $5 billion annual price tag once fully implemented after eight years. In Toronto, Trudeau said a Liberal government would allow Canadians to repeatedly dip into their registered retirement savings to pay for a home. Current rules only permit a single withdrawal for first-time home buyers. Trudeau said allowing access to RRSPs to buy a home “is something that will help Canadians in concrete ways.” But it was Trudeau’s remarks

in a CBC interview the night before — “a large percentage of small businesses are actually just ways for wealthier Canadians to save on their taxes,” he said — that attracted the most lightning from his two main rivals. “I mean, seriously — seriously,” an incredulous Harper said. “Small and medium-sized business is the backbone of this economy and that’s why we’re going to keep taxes down and strengthen small business in this country.”

FIRST NATIONS

Chiefs raise funds for missing women inquiry KEITH LESLIE THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — First Nations Chiefs in Ontario launched a fundraising campaign Wednesday to help pay for their own public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Ontario regional Chief Isadore Day said the chiefs don’t want to wait any longer for the federal government to agree to a public inquiry, and noted the online campaign will help focus on the need

for a national probe. The Assembly of First Nations, the United Nations and several provinces have all called for a national inquiry into the missing and murdered women, but nothing is being done, added Day. “We’re not prepared or willing any further to wait for the federal government or wait for a national organization to begin this process,” he said. “We have support across the country, but somebody had to

◆ SAN DIEGO

Texas woman is second death in salmonella outbreak linked to cucumber A second person has died in a salmonella outbreak that U.S. health officials believe stems from tainted cucumbers sold by a California company. Texas health officials on Wednesday blamed salmonella for the death of a woman in late August who had serious underlying health conditions. A 99-year-old San Diego woman died in California on Aug. 17. U.S. health officials reported 341 cases of salmonella in 30 states Wednesday — up 56 cases from Friday. Seventy people have been hospitalized. Officials suspect cucumbers grown in Mexico and distributed by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS led to the outbreak.

step forward and do it.” The RCMP reported there were more than 1,200 First Nations’ women across Canada who were murdered or disappeared between 1980 and 2014, with many victims being killed by men they lived with or knew. Aboriginal leaders know they must act now to protect women in their communities, who can no longer be treated as “disposable” and be “tossed away” by society, said Deputy Grand Chief Denise Stonefish.

“First Nations families cannot wait for Ottawa to stop indigenous women and girls from disappearing,” said Stonefish. “So First Nations leadership knows it must take action to address the violence, and the most effective way of stemming this systemic issue is to engage in a First Nations-driven inquiry process.” Canadians will want to address the issue once they learn the facts about the missing and murdered women, said Day.

JUNIOR B

Former Clippers mourn the loss of Tony Gardner

Bucs captain wants to go out as a champion

SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

As Jordan Levesque walked through the doors of the Nanaimo Ice Centre for training camp in August, he knew he was doing so for the last time. But the newly minted captain of the Nanaimo Buccaneers also knew this is his best shot at winning a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League championship with a roster oozing with potential around him. “I don’t think we’ve had a better team, on paper, that I’ve been a part of,” said Levesque, the Junior B team’s all-time leader in points, goals, assists and games played. “I have lots of faith in these guys.” The Bucs, 1-1 after two road games to start the 2015-16 season, play their home opener tonight at the NIC at 7 p.m. against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings, the same team they beat 4-3 in overtime Saturday night on the road. Levesque scored the winner, his first goal of the season ahead of many more to come. This year, the Bucs welcomed back Will McNamara from the league, provincial and western Canadian champion Campbell River Storm, as well as local talents Zach Funk, Coleman Doney, Nick Gomerich, and Jake Calvery, to name a few, and it’s no secret they’re after a championship this season. But their first road game last week under new head coach Dan Lemmon saw them humbled by the Storm in a 7-0 drubbing in Campbell River. “The first game wasn’t the best,” Levesque said of the opener. “I think that we’re coming along really well and you saw that in the second game.” Last season, Levesque led the Bucs in scoring with his best numbers yet — 28 goals and 48

hen the Nanaimo Clippers were on their run to the 2004 Fred Page Cup championship, there were few people in the organization who wanted it as badly as Tony Gardner. Gardner, a longtime volunteer equipment manager for the Clippers, died on Aug. 29. He was 83. His passion for the team, said former Clippers star Michael Olson, made winning that championship for him that much sweeter. “He was right in there with us, even though he didn’t have equipment on,” Olson said. “He was in every single battle in every single game, just like the players were and the coaches were — maybe even more involved. He cared about the players, he cared about the organization and he wanted to win just as badly as us, and you could see it. “Being able to be a part of the team that brought him a championship and to see the look in his eyes and the smile on his face when he raised the Fred Page Cup is something that will always resonate with me. “It was unbelievable to see him and the joy that he had in that moment.” Gardner began working with the Clippers as a goal judge at the old Civic Arena before eventually taking over as equipment manager. When he was in that role, perhaps no one in the organization spent more time with him than former head coach Bill Bestwick, and Bestwick has fond memories of Gardner.

Bestwick said he will remember most Gardner’s dependability and his loyalty. “He was always willing to lend a helping hand at all hours of the day or night,” Bestwick said. “We spent a lot of time together and of course spent a lot of time on the road together, too, so you get to know a person quite well in that environment.” Although only in a volunteer role, Gardner spent countless hours on the road with the Clippers, but never complained. “It was his service club,” Bestwick said, “and the kids were very appreciative of what Tony’s givings were to them. Year over year, he was very selfless and did everything from his heart. “He was there for all of the right reasons.” As the equipment manager, Gardner was always known to have done his job but also so

much more, and that will never be forgotten by those who were around him, Bestwick added. “Tony viewed it as more than being the equipment guy,” he said. “He was part of the fabric of the Clippers.” Clippers community relations director Laura Landry has known Gardner for many years, and said something will be planned to celebrate his life at a Clippers game this season, however a date for that has not yet been set. Friends of Gardner can join a celebration of his life Sept. 20 at the John Barsby Secondary multipurpose room (doors open at 10 a.m., service starts at 11 a.m.).

assists — and his 76 points were sixth best in the league. This year, he’s playing on a line with rookie Billy Walters, of Powell River, and Nanoose Bay’s Trent Bell. “Billy (affiliated) for us last year and I played with Trent all last year, so it’s been pretty easy,” Levesque said of the chemistry between him and his linemates. Walters, 17, has the early team lead in points with a goal and two assists while Trent Bell has two goals and Levesque has a goal and an assist. Levesque said coming into this season, his fourth and final year of junior hockey eligibility, didn’t feel any different despite knowing he won’t be back next fall. “It’s a long year,” he said. “There’s a lot of ups and downs to go through still. By the end, maybe it will start to feel different but it’s been kind of the same as every other year.” Levesque, though, would like to see this year end differently than previous seasons did, and win the team it’s first league title. “Definitely, if we play to our full potential,” he said of his team’s chance at a championship. “I think we have all the right pieces, and now we just need to execute.” Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-7294243

BOSTON — David Ortiz hit his 498th career home run, a three-run shot to cap a four-run third inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat AL East-leading Toronto 10-4 on Wednesday night, sending the Blue Jays to just their second series loss since late July. Mookie Betts had a solo homer and drove in three runs, and Ryan Hanigan had three hits and three RBIs for Boston, which posted its ninth win in 13 games by taking two of three from Toronto. Despite the loss, the Blue Jays maintained a 1 1-2 game lead over New York, which lost 5-3 to Baltimore. Toronto heads to Yankee Stadium for a four-game series, beginning Thursday night. The Blue Jays are 28-9 since July 30, going 9-2-1 in 12 series. Joe Kelly (10-6) won his eighth consecutive start, the longest stretch by a Boston

pitcher since Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez won nine straight in 1999. Ortiz drove a 2-0 fastball from Drew Hutchison (13-4) into the bleachers in centre field. It was his 32nd of the season, and 59th in his career against the Blue Jays, most by any opponent. He’s looking to become the 27th player all-time with 500 homers. Kelly gave up one run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion had an RBI single and reached base for a club-record 39th straight game, surpassing Carlos Delgado’s 38 in 1998. Chris Colabello hit a three-run homer. Hutchison was tagged for six runs and six hits in 3 1-3 innings for his second straight rough outing. He gave up six runs in five innings in a loss at Baltimore last Friday. Betts and Hanigan had RBI doubles in the fourth.

The win moves Vancouver (15-10-3) into first place in Major League Soccer’s overall standings with 48 points on the season, two ahead of the Los Angeles Galaxy. A dull affair finally got an injection of excitement in the 73rd minute when Rivero headed home his 10th of the season off a lovely ball over the top from Techera that beat an outstretched Clint

Irwin in the Colorado goal. Rivero tore off his jersey in celebration — a reaction that earned him a yellow card — before being mobbed by teammates. Techera then buried his sixth of the campaign past a helpless Irwin in the 77th to put the game away and send the crowd of 17,583 at B.C. Place Stadium into a frenzy. Colorado (8-10-9), which came in having won three straight, is fighting for its playoff life in the Western Conference and already had two victories over Vancouver in Commerce City, Colo., earlier — THE CANADIAN PRESS this season.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) YYou might be bombarded by a call in the morning from someone who wants to use you as a sounding board. You won’t mind, but you could get thrown off by the conversation and lose your sense of time. Consider taking a shortcut. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You know better than to spread yourself too thin. Slow down and prioritize. Be caring with those in your immediate environment. Cancel an outside commitment if need be. Consolidate rather than fragment. Tonight: Consider what you would like to do this coming weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be so busy on the phone that you could miss what is going on around you. Remember to make some time for yourself. A friend or co-worker could surprise you with his or her response. Stay levelheaded. Be forthcoming. Tonight: At your favorite spot. CANCER (June 21-July 22) What is happening around you allows you to step back and consider what you would do in the same situation. A friend or relative does the unexpected and throws you into some chaos. Hang in there, and know that everything will work out. Tonight: Do some shopping.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are firing on all cylinders. Even if you run into a problem or an angry person, you will find the right words to allow everyone to move on. A loved one at a distance finds you to be unusually attractive, and will let you know that as well. Tonight: Be physical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with someone directly and with kindness. You might not want to be visible at the moment, and could choose to play it lowkey. Understand that you will be missed! Use this day for yourself, and get some much-needed R and R. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others might be more provocative than you would like, but you’ll have little choice except to deal with them. You have at least one friend from whom you never know what to expect. Keep your goals in mind, and you can’t go wrong. Tonight: You will be missed if you stay home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Once more, you seem to end up accepting all the responsibilities of others. You might want to consider stopping this habit -- it is not good for your well-being. An older friend or relative will let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You understand all the different energies that are swirling around you through others. On some level, you will find it very amusing; however, you’ll prefer to stay out of a

problem rather than hop in the middle of it. Tonight: Say “yes� to a weekend getaway! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be in the mood to let others deal with the details of a certain situation rather than handling them yourself. You could feel as if you have not had enough time to get into a social mode yet. Others seem to be only too pleased to pitch in. Tonight: Surprises await you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others go out of their way to get you going, and will encourage you to join in. You have a unique ability to make people feel appreciated. Many people might be seeking you out for that reason as well. Throw yourself into the moment. Tonight: What is stopping you? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Ideas and suggestions simply fly right out of your mouth. You might be surprised by everything that is happening around you. Be willing to go 100 percent in whatever you do. You will have nothing to worry about then! Tonight: Get some sleep while you can. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Sept. 10) This year Lady Luck rides on your shoulder. Nevertheless, you will want to keep a low profile, as you will feel more comfortable. Whatever you plan seems to fall into place. If you are single, you might meet someone quite exotic who is not as authentic as you would like. Be clear about the qualities you seek in a partner. If you are attached, the two of you will want to share a lot of alone time together.

Dear Annie: My husband has decided to plan a trip to a major theme park. It was supposed to include the two of us, plus his three adult children and their families. Here’s the problem: When I could not take the time off from work, his children invited their recently widowed mother. Although we have a civil relationship with her, I do not feel this is appropriate. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t share my concerns and is planning to book the trip anyway. I considered giving him some sort of ultimatum, but I doubt it would change his mind. My main concerns are his ex’s ability to twist the truth and what others may think about the “arrangement.� Any advice? — Left Behind in Pennsylvania

Dear Left Behind: Your husband should never have agreed to this without your OK. Instead, the appropriate thing to do would be to rearrange the trip for a date when you were available. Nonetheless, your only concern now should be whether he can be trusted to take a trip with his ex. If so, you can weather this. If you can take off a couple of days and join them for part of the trip, we recommend it. But please ignore the gossip. If others question the “arrangement,� simply laugh and say, “I wasn’t worried about that for a second.� Dear Annie: Your response to “No One To Share This With� was not strong enough. She said her husband was viewing porn. I know how she feels. I recently discovered that my 57-year-old husband, to whom I’ve been married for 34 years, was viewing Internet porn. It took me three months to get the full truth from him, because he was so ashamed. He started by looking at pictures of women in various stages of undress and it quickly escalated.

SOLUTION: A GREAT HAPPY AFFAIR

CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT

eclarer ruffed to follow with three rounds of hearts trumping in dummy as West discarded a club. A spade was led to the queen and king but declarer was tapped by a second club. He swiftly drew trump and claimed eleven tricks, N-S +650. South could be quite certain of defeating the minor suit game because East was very unlikely to hold a singleton heart. A penalty double would result in a onetrick set for +200. The auction revealed that North held a virtual Yarborough but support for either major suit would offer South a reasonable chance at eleven tricks. North failed to display adequate length in either major but the eight of spades proved to be a key card. Hearts broke 3-2 as expected, and, when West could not ruff the third heart with the nine of spades, eleven tricks rolled home. Perhaps South should have doubled the minor suit game to ensure a plus score but the 6,6,1,0 pattern suggested offense over defense. West will bring home ten tricks in 3NT but there was no chance that South would remain silent. Adventurous souls would bid four diamonds with South’s collection intending to redouble for rescue when doubled. The inherent danger is that North might take this action seriously and raise diamonds.

DEATHS

Unexpectedly, after years of suffering from a coronary condition, Raymond Bernard Louis Lauzier of Nanaimo, BC passed away on August 27, 2015 in Windsor, Ontario while attending a meeting of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada ( COSEWC.) Born in New Brunswick on July 22, 1948 to French Canadian scientists, Louis and Gertrude Lauzier, Ray grew up in St. Andrews by the Sea. The Bay of Fundy gave him a love of all things Maritime and predetermined his career as a marine biologist. His full and busy work as a scientist in the federal civil service included among many projects-Canadian government representative on the US Fish and Wildlife Service Kootenai River white sturgeon recovery team, salmon habitat research, shell fish stock assessment, Wild Salmon Policy ( for which he was recognized with the DFO Prix d’Excellence). Hotwater physa in the Liard River hotsprings and Rocky Mountain ridged mussel in the Okanagan system were his last two assignments. Ray continued in retirement to advocate for the critical importance of science and scientists as well as for the rights of Public Service retirees. Ray had a parallel career with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC). He was a founding member of the Applied Sciences-Patent Examiners (SP) Group Executive and later became president of the group which represents 7500 members, BC/Yukon Steward in of the Year in 2010for 13 years of service, Chair of the PIPSC Science Advisory Committee with the emphasis on the importance of public science for the public good as well as a member of the PIPSC Legacy Foundation committee. Like his father, Ray was an avid gardener, known for his extraordinary gardens filled with rhododendrons and over 100 varieties of award winning dahlias ( his girls as he called them.) A deeply devoted family man who took great pleasure from the hustle and bustle of family gatherings, Ray is survived by his wife Jane, sisters Marie Lauzier of Newmarket, and Suzie Larocque of Ottawa; step- children Scott (Lorna), Andy(Lori) and Linda(Wilbur), step-grandchildren Cary-Lynn, Kathryn, Katelyn, Jenna, Daniel all in NB; niece Chrissy (Michael, Charlie); nephews Phil( Candice) and Dan in Ontario; brothers-in-law John( Betty) and Vernon MacNichol as well as many cousins. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at 1:30 PM from Trinity Catholic Church 6234 Spartan Road, Nanaimo with Father Jozef Kobos officiating. Interment will take place in St. Andrews, NB in the summer of 2016. The family is very grateful for the skilled and compassionate care Ray received over the years at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, the Ottawa Heart Institute and most recently the Windsor Regional Hospital as well as his extraordinary family doctor Nicolaas Janssen. In lieu of flowers, please consider remembering Ray by donating to either Loaves and Fishes at nanaimoloavesandfishes.org or the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation at nlsf.ca.
