Fraud scam targets residentsDARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Fraudsters posing as tax collectors have Parksville and Qualicum Beach residents in their sights.
More than 50 residents living in that area called Oceanside RCMP last week to report they had been targeted by callers posing as representatives of the federal tax department.
The Canada Revenue Agency issued a warning in August about the risk of financial loss
and possible identity theft after a spike in telephone scams where the caller falsely claims to represent the CRA. Scammers tell their victims that they owe money on their taxes and must wire a payment immediately or face arrest by police.
“Often they will target seniors, because they can bully them more,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.
The last census identified both communities as having among the highest number of elderly
residents in Canada. Jesse Fore-man, spokesman for the Ocean-side detachment, agreed it’s pos-sible fraud operators specifically target those areas.
“Just be leery of anyone call-ing,” Foreman said.
“Obviously the RCMP aren’t going to be collecting for the CRA.”
He said fortunately, most people are wary and have avoid-ed falling victim to the scam.
Of the more than 50 who called, two people have been fooled to
date, for $1,500 each, Foreman said. In a press release, the CRA recently said the fraudsters are aggressive in their approach.
The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or con-vinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information.
The taxpayer is often threat-ened with court charges, jail or deportation.
These types of communication are not from the CRA.
Recipients are urged to hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre www.anti-fraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca or toll free at 1-888-495-8501.
Scammers also email targets saying they have a refund.
“It directs you to a website and you have to put in your personal credit card information,” O’Brien said.
Man gets pepper-sprayed at front doorDAILY NEWS
Nanaimo RCMP are investi-gating a pepper-spray attack at a home in the 600-block Fourth Street just before 7 p.m. Sunday.
The victim answered a knock at the front door to find a man holding a can of bear spray, who said: “Hi,” and sprayed him in the eyes.
The man told police he had been involved in a verbal alter-cation with someone a week earlier, who “may or may not be involved,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.
“We’re looking into whether it’s mistaken identity.”
The victim did not recognize his attacker.
A roommate reportedly saw the suspect drive away in a small, two-door black car with black rims.
The vehicle was seen turning into an alley between Hillcrest and Lambert avenues.
The suspect is white, about five foot 10, slim, with short brown hair. He was wearing a grey shirt.
He may have been contamin-ated with bear spray “and could have been exhibiting signs of contamination, such as, runny nose and eyes, red flushed face and shortness of breath,” said O’Brien.
He may also have had some reddish, orange residue on his clothing and hands.
Information for this and other crimes can be reported to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Girl crushed that cat can’t come backJULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
A Nanaimo woman’s joy at finding her lost cat at the SPCA turned to sorrow when it was adopted out to another family.
When Tamarha Faux moved into a new house several months ago, her cat, Pis-ton, began to wander around the new neighbourhood.
The behaviour was common, said Faux, who had owned the elderly black feline for 14 years. But when Piston did not return after a couple of weeks, she began to worry.
After checking bulletin boards, Faux said she was close to the SPCA a couple of weeks ago and decided to check for the cat.
Lo and behold, he was there.Piston had received surgery for what Faux
described as a pre-existing condition with his face that she said they had been attempting to treat for years.
“They were like, ‘Oh yeah he was turned in as a stray,’” said Faux. “So they did the oper-ation through the SPCA, and they said we had to reimburse the cost of the surgery, and I was like, ‘Well that’s not fair, I didn’t turn him in.’”
The cost of the surgery was approximately $1,100. A “devastated” Faux said she told the SPCA she would attempt to find the money and would return in a week.
“I came back in a week-and-a-half, and they had adopted him out by then. They said they had tried to contact me, but I was away that week and didn’t check my messages.”
The Nanaimo SPCA tells a different story. Manager Leon Davis said they would never take a cat away from its owner. He insists Faux had ample time to retrieve her cat.
“Multiple phone calls (were) not returned. I think we had the cat from June onwards. The cat had surgery. It had bad medical con-ditions, and we had to relieve that stress, so we had that done, and then we extended the deadline for two extra weeks,” said Davis.
That treatment comes with a cost, he said.“We just don’t have the funds to be able to
be a resource for people who can’t afford vet bills,” said Davis. “We can’t use donor money to pay for other people’s vet costs.”
Faux asked why did the new owners only have to pay an adoption fee, not the vet fees?
Davis said he understands how someone would be frustrated with that policy, but the
costs of new pets has to be kept low enough to ensure animals get adopted.
The SPCA said they will contact the people that adopted Piston, but that the outcome is uncertain.
Tamarha Faux’s daughter Piper was overjoyed when they recently found their cat Piston at the Nanaimo SPCA. But the joy quickly turned to sorrow when she was told Piston would have to remain at the shelter.

Expect protesters at Colliery damsWork crews slated to begin clearing trees today in park in advance of construction of new spillwaySPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Protesters say they will be out at Colliery Dam Park today to pro-test construction, but some are resigned to the work going ahead.
Work crews are expected to begin clearing trees today in the park in advance of construction of a new spillway on the lower dam.
Several trees have been marked
for removal to make way for the 13.6-metre-wide spillway.
On Monday, workers were sec-tioning off a large section of the lower Colliery reservoir to pre-pare for tree falling, and fencing had been set up off of Seventh Street in advance of construction.
The project remains contro-versial in some quarters of the city, although it is a far cry from
the previous council’s decision almost three years ago to remove both the lower and middle dam entirely.
Dave Cutts, who helms the pro-test Dam Direct Action Group, said Monday he and others will be present at the park as work begins, despite city warnings that those who break city bylaws may be ticketed. But Cutts acknow-
ledged his group does not have the “critical mass” to halt work in the park altogether.
“However, that doesn’t mean people aren’t going to do things to incur the wrath of authorities,” he said.
Terry Lee Wagar, a Nanaimo resident opposed to the project, said: “To be perfectly honest, I think whatever we do is symbolic
at this stage.”
DAILY NEWS
Canada heads to the polls on Oct. 19. During the federal election campaign, the Daily News will offer a series of profiles, issue pieces and more to help readers with their voting decision. Today marks the fourth in a series of questions posed to local candidates. Their responses (candidates listed this time in reverse alphabetical order) are list-ed below.
Question: “How would your religious or personal beliefs influ-ence your decisions as an MP?”
Tim Tessier, Liberal
While I have a strong set of personal values and beliefs, as an elected Member of Parlia-ment for Nanaimo-Ladysmith I will not let them influence my decisions.
It is with respect and humility that I stand before the people of Nanaimo-Ladysmith as the feder-al Liberal candidate. Canadians deserve an open, transparent government that will focus on their real priorities without my own personal beliefs having influence. As a member of the Liberal Caucus I will have more free votes to better represent issues and opportunities affect-ing us locally. Government has grown secretive and closed-off from Canadians, and unpreced-ented power has been concen-trated in the hands of the Prime Minister and his office.
We have experienced a govern-ment that has let the beliefs of a chosen few influence the direc-tion of Canada and we must do better.
My career is based on develop-ing strategies, building relation-ships, building trust, focusing on the interests of others and taking action to make decisions that benefit the larger group. Personal beliefs have no place at the table.
I believe it is the ability to lis-ten and represent the local con-cerns and interests of all people that makes a good Member of Parliament. It is the ability to be heard and work with others to make positive change. As an elected Member of Parliament
for Nanaimo-Ladysmith I will not let my religious or personal beliefs influence my decisions.
Paul Manly, Green Party
My religious and personal beliefs will not influence my decisions as an MP.
When I sought the nomination for the Green Party of Canada I was asked whether I accepted and stood by the policies out-lined in the GPC policy book Vision Green, and was required to give notice about any policies I disagreed with.
This policy book, which runs to 174 pages, is published and avail-able online at www.greenparty.ca, so voters who want to know the details about what policies I stand by can look for themselves.
The only time I would consid-er voting against Green Party policy is if the vast majority of my constituents were adamantly opposed to legislation before the House of Commons that fit into Green Party policy. There would need to be clear reasons to vote against the policies I was elected on, and I would require serious consultation with the residents of Nanaimo-Ladysmith.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May is a devout Anglican, but
she separates her religious and personal beliefs from her role as a legislator acting on behalf of her constituents and in her role as a Green Party representative. That is the way it should be.
We have seen MPs who have voted against scientific evidence and voted to undermine scien-tific knowledge based on their religious beliefs. If MPs are going to vote based on their religious or personal beliefs they should disclose this to voters before they are elected.
Sheila Malcolmson, NDP
I hold strong personal values that I learned from my family, including the importance of public service and the common good, the need for right relations with Aboriginal Peoples, and the necessity of maintaining a healthy natural environment. These values, that I see reflected in NDP policy, have led me to join, support, and now be a can-didate for the New Democratic Party.
I believe decision-making by elected officials in a democracy should reflect a thoughtful exam-ination of all the facts as well as potential impacts on citizens, communities, the environment,
and our economy. Unlike Ste-phen Harper, I believe MPs need to listen to scientists and other experts and certainly the public when making decisions. And there is no place for MPs’ person-al religious beliefs in decisions affecting public policy and laws.
I was elected to the Islands Trust Council for 12 years, and during my years as a trustee I became well-known for being well-informed on the issues and working to bring people from diverse backgrounds together on difficult issues. I am committed to listening and working with my constituents as an MP.
The NDP has the best record of any Party of co-operation in Parliament and Tom Mulcair has been clear that we will continue that approach as government. I strongly support this commit-ment which includes a willing-ness to form a coalition govern-ment, working co-operatively with other parties, and strength-ening our democracy by introdu-cing proportional representation in our first term.
Mark MacDonald, Conservative
An MP is elected to represent all the constituents of their riding.
It is not my role to impose religious views on anyone, whether in Ottawa or at home. Rather, my role is to reflect the diversity of my community as I represent my constituents in Parliament. When voting in the House of Commons on issues, I will do my best to consult with my constituents to get their per-spective on the issues at hand, and continue to be accessible and approachable.
Having said that, my faith values are an essential part of who I am — values such as com-passion, forgiveness, mercy, love, peace-making, justice, courage, generosity, kindness, patience, forbearance and discretion. Those are values our country needs as we seek to govern it wisely.
I will strive to apply and live by those values as I do my work with honesty and integ-rity as MP for the people of Nanaimo-Ladysmith.

Lions Clubs band together to help youth with eye testsDAILY NEWS
The seven Lions Clubs on Van-couver Island want to use new technology to help detect vision problems in youth.
Ron Jorgensen, a member of Alberni Lions Club, made a presentation to trustees in the
Nanaimo-Ladysmith school dis-trict last week asking the board to participate in a partnership.
Jorgenson said the clubs are approaching all school districts on the Island for their co-oper-ation in allowing eye tests on the district’s elementary students with new SPOT screeners.
A SPOT screener is a hand-held device that costs up to $8,000 and can capture data on a number of eye ailments and diseases within seconds.
Currently, the school district has only the “Eye See … Eye Learn” program that provides kindergarten students with com-
prehensive eye exams and, if pre-scribed, one free pair of eyeglass-es. Jorgenson said most vision changes occur when people are between the ages of 11 and 14.
“About 18 per cent of children who pass the screening at five years of age have vision problems by they time they are 16,” he said.
Betty Anne Herbert, president of the Lions Club of Nanaimo, said the clubs have received approval from Island Health for the program and for training ses-sions for Lions members to use the SPOT screeners.
The board sent the proposal to staff for further study.
FIRE
Family seeks help after home lostto blazeROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The family of a Nanaimo woman who lost her mobile home to a fire earlier this month is appealing to the public for assistance.
Doreen Lord, 75, was forced from her home in Petroglyph Mobile Home Park in the early hours of Sept. 4 as fire complete-ly gutted her residence.
Lord is currently living with her daughter Donna Sharpe and her family in Duncan.
Sharpe said the cost of clean-upat the site of Lord’s mobile home,the price of a new home, and the cost of replacing all of her fur-nishings and clothing will great-ly exceed the insurance money she will receive.
“My mother’s mobile home was built in the 1970s and it was like-ly filled with asbestos so the cost of cleaning the rubble from the site is expected to be very high,” Sharpe said.
“Her whole life was in that mobile home and she needs a new wheelchair on top of all the other clothing and furniture that needs to be replaced. She’s doing pretty well, all things considered,but she’s used to be independent and wants to return to her own home.”
Sharpe said she has reached out to family and friends for assistance through social media and has set up a trust account at Scotiabank for members of the public who want to help out.
The trust account number is 711000117382 and is in Sharpe’s name.
“Every dollar we receive will be greatly appreciated and will be used to help mom get her home back,” Sharpe said.
Any of us can be the victim of a fraud, but the lowlifes who run this sort of crime
like best to victimize the elderly.Let’s not think that these crim-
inals target seniors just because of the frailties of mind and body that come to us all with age.
What makes this sort of crime so heinous is that seniors are targetted for being vulnerable, not stupid. Many seniors are lonely and isolated and when the phone rings they may be eager to engage.
And it must be pointed out that most seniors are savvy enough to be aware and protect themselves. Some, however, are not, and a criminal enterprise seeks to fer-ret them out.
Sadly, some criminal has crawled out from under his or
her slimy rock and is aiming at seniors in the Parksville and Qualicum in phone calls falsely claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. The aggressive patter is that these people have been found in arrears with the CRA and have to pay up.
The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or con-vinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the infor-mation. The taxpayer is often threatened with arrest, charges, jail or deportation.
So, far two people have been taken in — two people too many. Aside from losing money, the additional risk is providing enough personal information for further identity theft.
Const. Gary O’Brien, spokes-
man for the Nanaimo RCMP uses a key word in this matter.
“Often they will target seniors, because they can bully them more,” said O’Brien.
Yes, these criminals aside from being lowlifes and sleazy are also bullies. Intimidating a man or woman who may be lonely, ill, grieving or in the early stages of dementia is the height of cowardice.
Those criminals rely not on gullibility or even innocence, but people — seniors or not — who find it hard to conceive of some-one stooping so low as to imitate the taxman and use threats of arrest or deportation.
And because, incredibly, there are such people out there, we have to pay extra attention to protecting the vulnerable in our
society. It’s one thing for family to have a chat with Mom or Dad to warn them about such things, which every relative of a vulner-able senior ought to do.
The real problem, on Van-couver Island and across the country, is that there is a very large segment of people in that vulnerable category who have no relatives to provide such warn-ings. Again, the criminals rely on exploiting a vulnerability.
Keeping our seniors safe from these and other crimes is every-body’s responsibility. After fam-ilies, the police and the media have done what they can, there is a gap in communication that can be hard to fill.
Anyone involved in sales, promotion and advertising knows, even in the age of the
Internet, that word of mouth is the gold standard of spreading information.
That means the most effective way to protect our seniors from fraud is to talk with them, to provide spaces in society where they are woven into and part of the entire social fabric. Crimin-als rely on loneliness, isolation and lack of information for their exploitive schemes to be effective.
Crime is not just the responsib-ility of the police.
We all need to participate in creating a society where exploit-ation is not just difficult, but almost impossible.

Mayor needs to stand more for free enterprise
The list keeps getting longer, so it is hard to know where to begin.
Mayor McKay, just 10 months in office continues to act like a one-man band.
His latest foot-in-mouth affair; saying autocratically he’s off to tell the provincial government to keep B.C. Ferries in-line and not to hold any half-price sales to compete with the proposed foot passenger ferry, which he’s already lobbying to get $14 million in federal funding.
Mr. McKay, $14 million for the private boat is a huge government subsidy so you should not whine about the subsidies B.C. Ferries gets. And taxpayers should get half-price fares from the ferry cor-poration and any and all competi-tion that will lower prices.
I thought you were a man who stood for free enterprise but I guess not if it does not benefit the people or projects you support with my tax money.
Shame on you.
George OliverNanaimo
Pledged support just a campaign promise
Your attempt to mask third-party election advertisingin support of Conservative Party of Canada candidates as a news story, with your brazen false article appearing in the Sept. 11 edition of your paper, is unconscionable.
As your reporters and editors should know, no government department is allowed to make any offer of grants or funding for any project during an election campaign by law.
Yet here we have the Nanaimo Daily News with blaring head-lines turning a campaign promise by the Conservative candidates into a definite funding announce-ment commitment from the government.
If the Nanaimo Daily News has any conscience at all, it will retract these obviously untrue headlines and the subsequent article and register as a third-party advertiser for the Conservative Party.
Kenneth S. PearceNanaimo
An empty axiom used to pacify the gullible
I truly believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press is just an empty axiom used by the powers that be, to pacify the gul-lible. Before a previous employee of this newspaper decided to run in the next election, I feel that we had a better chance (not much but better) of getting the uglies about the Conservative party actually published in our letters to the editor.
My letters are now being cen-sored or edited to the point where they have a very stifling effect on the truths I try to reveal.
For example, when Harper made the remark that he only keeps “the highest-standard candidates,” I wanted to show just how high his standards were as I wrote about the highest standard politicians in the Senate’s ongoing court bat-tle that appears to involve some pretty low standard accusations. All this was edited out.
By the way, what ever happened to that trial; did Harper make them put it on the back burner until after the election? I also com-mented on Harper’s penchant for
covering up any nasties his “high-est standard politicians” may havecaused; also edited out.
Harper is fighting a very dirty campaign battle while using our money to defeat the candidates of our choice. He can say anything he wants about anyone and it is published with relish, but just let us try to say anything about him and along comes the ever-vigilant man with the axe to go chop-chop at our letters to protect him at any cost from the slings and arrows that maybe he deserves.
I don’t know if you edited my letter so severely for partisan reasons or because you ran out of space. If it was partisan, then shame on you, if it were a matter of space, then I understand.

SPORTS IN BRIEFCompiled by the Daily News
◆ B.C. HOCKEY LEAGUE
Clippers win, then lose as season begins in P.R.
The Nanaimo Clippers won 2-1 Saturday in their B.C. Hock-ey league opener on the road against the Powell River Kings, but lost 3-2 the following day in the same arena.
A pair of second-period goals from newcomers Charley Borek and D.J. Petruzzelli lifted the Clippers to their Saturday win, while veterans Devin Brosseau and Yanni Kaldis scored for Nanaimo in Sunday’s loss. Bros-seau and Sheldon Rempal each finished the weekend with three points. The Clippers play their home opener at 7 p.m. on Friday night at Frank Crane Arena against the Victoria Grizzlies.
◆ JUNIOR FOOTBALL
Okanagan’s dominance of the Raiders continues
The Vancouver Island Raiders (4-3) lost their sixth consecutive game against the Okanagan Sun (7-0) Sunday in Kelowna, 28-7.
Raiders All-Canadian quarter-back Liam O’Brien was sacked a 13 times in the loss, a B.C. Football Conference record. He also threw for 115 yards on nine of 21 passes with two interceptions.
Middle linebacker Dexter Shea led the Raiders in tackles with eight, while rookie safety Cole Vir-tanen had his team’s lone intercep-tion. The Sun remain undefeated, and the only team to hold their offence to below 30 points is the Raiders, who have done it twice.
The Raiders host the Westshore Rebels (2-5) Saturday at 2 p.m. at Caledonia Park.
◆ HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
No. 1 Barsby Bulldogs shut out No. 5 Panthers
The defending Varsity AA high school football champion John Barsby Bulldogs, ranked No. 1 in the province, shut out the No. 5 Vernon Panthers 25-0 on the road Saturday to open their non-conference schedule.
Barsby runningbacks Justis Mackay-Topley and Matt Cooley both ran for touchdowns, and quarterback Nathan Durkan con-nected with Alex Bonnetplume for another. The Bulldogs next play the G.W. Graham Grizzlies on Fri-day in Chilliwack.
Virtanen gets physical early Top Canucks prospect hoping to crack club’s roster as a 19-year-old wingerJOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
Micheal Ferland hit everything that moved in the Calgary Flames’ first-round playoff
defeat of the Vancouver Can-ucks last season. Jake Virtanen took notice from afar.
“He was in the guys’ heads,” Virtanen said of the bruising Flames forward. “He was a big factor in that win just being physical and wearing guys down.”
The sixth overall pick at the 2014 draft, Virtanen wants to bring a similar style — as well as his scoring touch — to the NHL this season with the Canucks, who could be in need of both after many Western Conference teams reloaded this summer.
The 19-year-old demonstrated some of that physicality at the Young Stars rookie tournament, levelling Edmonton Oilers phenom Connor McDavid and defenceman Darnell Nurse with crunching checks on Friday night in the showcase event that also included prospects from the Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets. He also scored the overtime winner on Monday against the Flames.
The hit on McDavid — who along with Nurse was Virtan-en’s Canadian teammate at the world juniors — drew the ire of the Oilers, but the Vancouver prospect said that’s an import-ant part of his game.
“I know (McDavid) pretty well,” Virtanen said with a smile.
“It’s pretty funny. I told him I was going to give it to him when I saw him in Toronto a couple weeks ago.”
The six-foot-one, 212-pound winger from Abbotsford missed the beginning of last season because of shoulder surgery, but still managed to put up 52 points (21 goals, 31 assists) in 50 games with the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen before adding 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 14 playoffs outings.
Virtanen then joined the AHL’s Utica Comets, recording one assist in 10 post-season games.
“You know he has a good shot, good hands and can score goals,” said Travis Green, who coaches in Utica and ran the Canucks’ bench at the Young Stars tournament.
“Ultimately you want Jake Vir-tanen to be a power forward that can be a real physical force on the team and score some goals while he’s doing it.”
Brendan Gaunce, the 26th pick in 2012 who’s also looking for a spot with the big club out of training camp, played with Vir-tanen during his stint with the Comets last season and saw his potential first-hand.
“I think powerful is a good term to describe him. He’s got a powerful shot, he’s a powerful skater, he’s powerful on the walls,” said Gaunce, a 21-year-old winger from Markham, Ont.
“He’s got that raw talent and he’s driven to be a good player.”
Virtanen is too young to play in the AHL on a full-time basis in 2015-16, meaning that Can-ucks can keep him for a nine-game audition before deciding whether or not to return him to junior.
“It’s in the back of my mind for sure that I could be in Vancou-ver,” he said. “But I’m not going to look too far ahead.”
He could try to follow the path of Bo Horvat, who took part in the Young Stars tournament last year, had a good camp and managed to stick with the Can-ucks past the nine-game mark, becoming one of their better for-wards as the season progressed.
“Bo had a really good season last year,” said Virtanen.
“With the youth movement and everything happening right now I think if I just keep playing the way I am, just playing my game and working hard, hope-fully I can grab a spot.”

Let husband deal with his mother about damaged car
Dear Annie: Last summer, our family spent all of our time help-ing my newly widowed mother-in-law fix up her large home, which had become run down during her husband’s long illness.
During one of the days I took off to help, she backed into the side of our car, causing damage. The repair estimate was $1,000, but she didn’t want to claim it on her insurance for fear her rates would go up.
My husband didn’t want to ask her to pay, so we drove around with a dent in our car. Last week, we were in an accident and our car was totalled. The value we received was reduced due to the prior damage.
My husband and I work public
service jobs with low wages, and my mother-in-law often talks about how she’s investing her half-million dollars.
Am I wrong to think she should pay for the damage she caused to our car while we were fixing her home to save her money?
— Trying Not to be Resentful Dear Trying: We understand
why you expected Mom to pay for the damage, and she should have offered to do so.
Nonetheless, we are asking you to think of this with compassion. Mom is widowed and her ability to generate income is undoubt-edly reduced. That “half-million dollar” investment has to last her the rest of her life, while you and your husband will continue to earn.
Discuss this with your husband and come to a mutual decision. He is obviously reluctant to ask Mom to pay for this, and perhaps it would be easier to ask her to split the cost.
Whatever happens, please allow your husband to deal with this as he sees fit, and do your best to forget the rest. It won’t help to dwell on it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)You don’t need to ask for feed-
back. The people with whom you are dealing can’t help but give you information based on their biases. Do your own fact-check-ing. A friend or loved one is likely to express caring and gratitude.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Maintain your pace despite
others running in and out your door. Someone might want to express his or her caring at an odd moment. You’ll gain an insight into a key person in your life. Say little, and observe more. You might be pleased by a revelation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your playfulness emerges
because of your sense of humour in what seems to be an impos-sible situation. Your friends could act in a startling manner. Your energy soars when dealing with a child. Choose your words with care.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Just because you wake up with
a great idea doesn’t mean it is one. You will see what occurs when you test it out on sever-al people whose opinions you respect. You’ll better understand an older person or relative dur-
ing the process. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Know that you are headed in
the right direction. Your smile exudes self-confidence. You might gain unusual information about an associate. One-on-one relating is likely to take you down a new path, as long as you are willing to go.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware that someone could
be sending mixed messages. Find out what is going on behind the scenes, and become more of an observer. Verbalizing your thoughts and feelings will be more successful than you might realize.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Your smile wins others over.
You might not even realize the power of your charm. You have a way of drawing people toward you. Among your friends, there could be a secret admirer. Look around. You might prefer to keep this a “secret,” too!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You might want to rethink a
decision that revolves around a personal matter. Reach out to someone you trust, so you can test out your ideas on him or her. Know that you might not be seeing all sides of the situation. Slow down some.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You recognize the importance
of a group effort, especially in situations where you can’t seem to push an idea through by your-self. Many people need to have a consensus and are not free think-ers like you. You know how to play it both ways.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)See right through someone
else’s ruse. You know what is going on, but you might decide to see where this person’s game will go. You might opt not to know what is really happening. This information could be useful, but at what cost?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You might opt to move for-
ward on an important project that means a lot to you. A friend supports your efforts by encouraging your creativity. The unexpected might point to a quick change of activities and plans. Maintain your sense of humour.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your inventiveness comes out
despite what is going on around you. You have the support of a key individual in making a money decision. You could feel a little awkward acknowledging the importance of this person in your plans.

Declarer was only able toscramble six tricks and
the contract was down four, N-S - 800.
The trump break was horrific but the game would still have been defeated if hearts had div-ided 3-2. This fact reveals that North had indulged in some excessive overbidding.
The negative double promised lengthinatleastonemajorbut South’s two heart rebid indi-cated a minimum. He could have jumped to three hearts to disclose a good hand with game interest. The boost to game received the result that it deserved. Should North consider a raise to three hearts as a game invitation?
The balanced pattern, in addi-tion to possession of dismal spot-cards, should convince North to pass in search of a modest plus score.
East will be happy to defend two hearts but is unlikely to double. A result of -100 would be a huge improvement over the actual one.
West’s resolve to overcall at the two-level was a strange action but we can surmise that he was not anxious to venture one spade holding five to the eight-spot. The minor suit overcall would also attract a club lead from partner should North become declarer.
South should open one club, an action that, undoubtedly, would silence West.

DIVERSIONS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 | NANAIMO DAILY NEWS | 7
NORI KAZU NISHIOBorn Sept 10, 1923 in Tokyo Japan
Nori passed away peacefully at the age of 91 years on Sept. 4, 2015 at NRGH, after a short, unexpected illness.
He is survived by his wife June, son Don (Lorraine), daugh-ter Karen (Sean), and grandsons Michael, Carlos, and Brendan.
Nori grew up in Vancouver and attended UBC for 1 year. At the beginning of the Second World War, he, along with other Japanese-Canadian students, was forced to leave UBC but he was fortunate to be able to continue his studies at the University of Alberta. The rest of his family were sent to a camp in the BC interior. He graduated from U of A with a degree in dentistry. He was proud to have played on both the football and basketball university teams. He practiced dentistry in northern Alberta and in Whitehorse before settling in Nanaimo in 1961. He practiced there for many years before retiring at age 62.
He was an avid sports fi sherman, and was honoured to act as a fi shing guide to then Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Prince Philip in the late 1950’s.
He curled every winter, right up to the age of 91. He was delighted to represent Canada at the Strathcona Cup in Scotland in 1998.
In 2012, he received an honorary degree from UBC along with other students of Japanese heritage who had been evicted from UBC at the start of WW2.
He took up golf after retirement, and could be found most mornings at the Winchelsea Golf Course, rain or shine. He golfed right up to 2 weeks before his death.
There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday October 17 at 2 pm at the Nanaimo Curling Club and all are welcome to attend.
No fl owers please. Donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.

WHITE, DOUGLAS WILLIAM THOMAS (DOUG)
September 19, 1973-September 5, 2015
Doug passed away suddenly as a result of a ma-rine accident off the coast of Vancouver Island. He was a fi sherman, gardener, and cook. His hands were in the earth and his heart was in the ocean.
From a young age he val-ued his friends and could not refuse when asked to help. He had an amazing sense of humour and his laugh was contagious. Doug's last years were spent happily with his Gen-ny rebuilding a home around them and enjoying his life with her. Many are mourning his sudden and tragic passing.
Predeceased by his father David White, 1975, grandparents Harry and Ethel White and Tom Rich-ardson. He is survived by his children Jourdan and Noah White, partner Genny Pavan, parents Car-ol and Boyd Shaw, sisters Lynn (Michael Payne), Lori (Jim Hodder), Lisa (Fred Leavitt) grandma Mabel Richardson, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins and many friends.

Many people think that once they receive their Cer cate of Incorpora on, their company is ready to operate. But incorpora ng a private BC company is not as easy as it might seem. Choosing and reserving an appropriate company name, deciding on an authorized share struc-ture, se ling on the Ar cles (rules and regula ons that govern the conduct of your company), comple ng the Incorpora on Agreement and ling the Incorpora on Applica on (with at-tached No ce of Ar cles) through Corporate Online are only the rst steps. A er you get your Cer cate of Incorpora on, things s ll need to be done to complete the organiza on of your company.You can have an actual organiza onal mee ng, but the business can just as easily be done through consent resolu ons signed by all directors. Shares have to be issued to the incorporators/shareholders. It’s the propor on each share-holder receives that’s important, not the number. If there are two shareholders and they are to “own” the company equally, then they should each be issued the same number (it could be ten shares each or 5,000 each). Then there’s the appointment of o cers. While a company isn’t required to have any par cular o cers such as a president and a secretary (unless your Ar cles say so), it’s tradi onal to ap-point o cers of the company to handle the day-to-day opera ons. If you have a one-person company, you can be both president and secretary at the same me.You may also want to appoint a banker and authorize the transfer of assets or money into the company.The Business Corpora ons Act requires that minutes of all company mee ngs must be pre-pared and kept at the records o ce, along with other company records. So you need a com-pany records or minute book to hold the minutes of your company mee ngs (or wri en and signed directors’ resolu ons, if mee ngs are done by consent resolu ons instead).You also need a directors’ register showing the full names and “prescribed addresses” of the directors (for receiving no ces, legal documents and mail). Directors can choose their home address or the o ce they normally occupy during business hours.And you need a central securi es showing the shares issued by the company, names and ad-dresses of shareholders, number and class of shares they own, and so on.Does your company need nancing to start? The easiest way to raise money is by sharehold-er loan. This should be documented by having the company make a promissory note, which should be approved in either a directors’ resolu on or in the minutes of a directors’ mee ng.You might also consider a “buy-sell” agreement, so exis ng shareholders retain control of the company if a shareholder dies or wants out, or a broader shareholders’ agreement.And then, once your company is organized, other things must s ll be done to main-tain your company, for example, ling annual reports with the Corporate Registry.Your lawyer can assist you with all of this. If it’s a problem keeping your own records, consider using the “records o ce” services o ered by your lawyer for an annual fee.

Budget surplus good news for Conservative campaignEconomic forecasts by party leaders are notoriously self-interested and suspectBRUCE CHEADLE THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Hard new numbers about the past performance of the economy gave way to crystal-ball gazing Monday on the campaign trail as the major party leaders all took a shot at forecasting the future.
For Stephen Harper, weeks of buffeting bad news was washed away by a report tallying the final budget bottom line for the last fiscal year: a surprise $1.9 billion surplus.
The timing of the 2014-15 surplus announcement from Finance Canada — the first after six consecutive budget deficits — couldn’t be better for Harper, with the Conservative, NDP and Liberal leaders set to face off later this week in a Calgary elec-tion debate on the economy.
The shot of fiscal adrenaline had the prime minister in fine fettle at a Kamloops campaign stop, where he brushed off the mild economic contraction that marked the first half of 2015 and asserted that robust growth and good budgetary times are ahead.
“I see zero to little risk that we will have anything other than a surplus for the second year in a row, based on the trajectory we are on,” said Harper.
Across the country in Toronto, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was looking at the same num-bers and reaching a very differ-ent conclusion.
“We are in deficit right now,” Trudeau asserted.
“Mr. Harper has put us in defi-cit this year. As for last year’s numbers, we know and we saw Mr. Harper underspending and
making cuts to Veterans Affairs, to Aboriginal Affairs, to seniors in the billions of dollars so that he could balance the books in time for his election.”
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, meanwhile, called the 2014-15 surplus “good news for Can-adians and it shows that the NDP’s going to be starting off on the right foot by proposing to have a balanced budget, talking to Canadians about what we can accomplish together in health care (and) quality, affordable $15-a day child care.”
Economic forecasts by party leaders are notoriously self-inter-ested and suspect.
Harper was spectacularly wrong in October 2008 with his election campaign prediction that if Canada was going to
suffer a recession, it would have happened by then. He also vowed not to run deficits.
As it turned out, a devastat-ing global economic meltdown was already underway and the Conservatives were already in deficit en route to a $55.6-billion shortfall in 2009-10 that was the largest in Canadian history.
On the other side of the ledger, Liberals and New Democrats have been loudly denouncing “eight straight” deficits from the Conservatives during this elec-tion campaign, only to find the streak suddenly stalled at six.
Public opinion polls continue to have the three major parties effectively locked in a three-way tie for voters’ affections past the mid-point of the extraordinarily long 78-day election campaign.
Economic stewardship and national security are the Con-servatives’ preferred ballot questions, and getting the some good news ahead of Thursday’s economic debate by the leaders clearly energized the campaign-ing prime minister on Monday. The annual year-end accounting report, incidentally, usually arrives in mid-October and last came out in September during the 2008 election campaign — when Harper was also fending off talk of deficit. The Globe and Mail reported last month that Finance Minister Joe Oliver gave his department special dispen-sation to release the report early this year during the campaign period.
The glass half-full or half-emp-ty arguments will likely continue until voting day and beyond.
Harper’s morning event in Kamloops, for instance, took place at a trailer manufactur-ing plant that’s been hard hit by falling oil prices. Horizon North, which builds trailers for northern resource camps, is letting go 130 employees across Western Canada, including 48 in Kamloops.
Trudeau, for his part, isn’t buy-ing Conservative claims that the country’s economy has turned the corner. Harper has claimed that a $5 billion surplus in gov-ernment accounts through the first three months of 2015-16 is proof this year will end in the black.
Finance officials, however, con-tinually caution that monthly tallies in the “fiscal monitor” are not predictive of the year-end accounting.
EUROPE
Germany demands common migrant strategyLORNE COOK AND RAF CASERT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS — Austria and Slo-vakia rushed Monday to join Germany in reintroducing bor-der checks, putting even more pressure on European Union ministers meeting in Brussels to come up with a common strategyto handle Europe’s unwieldy immigration crisis.
German Vice Chancellor Sig-mar Gabriel defended the new checks, saying they were not designed to keep those fleeing violence in their homeland out of Germany but were aimed at producing a more orderly flow of people. He also predicted, in a let-ter to his Social Democrat Party, that Germany alone would see at least 1 million asylum seekers this year — and demanded that other EU nations do more to help.
“ (Border checks are) a ‘clear signal’ to our European partners that Germany, even if we are pre-pared to provide disproportion-ate assistance, cannot accommo-date all of the refugees alone,“ he wrote.
Hungary, on the other hand, was set to introduce much harsh-er border controls at midnight.
The Czech Republic boosted its presence along its border with Austria but did not yet reintro-duced border checks.
German police say they will conduct rolling checkpoints on major roads coming from Austria but will not check every vehicle and driver for passports.

Victim in crash of train and ambulance named
An 87-year-old woman has been named as the victim in a crash involving a train and ambulance in Langley on Friday.
The B.C. Coroners Service says
Helena Van Gool was a patient and was being driven from her seniors’ residence to hospital when the accident happened.
Mounties are now reviewing video captured by several dash-board cameras, as well as pos-sible video from the train.

Former aide to PM denies chargeTERRY PEDWELL THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A former top aide to Prime Minister Stephen Harper was trying to help a girlfriend leave her past behind when he tried to persuade the government to buy water systems from a company that employed her, a court heard Monday.
Bruce Carson has pleaded not guilty to a charge of influence peddling in a trial that Harper’s opponents are using to question the prime minister’s judgment in making appointments.
The Ottawa court heard that Carson testified he was merely trying to help when he offered to assist an Ottawa-based company, H2O Water Professionals, in get-ting meetings in 2010 and 2011 with government officials.
But Crown Attorney Jason Nicol told the Ontario Superior Court of Justice Carson wasn’t some altruistic figure trying to help H2O Pros clinch a deal to sell water purification equip-ment to First Nations commun-ities desperate to fix tainted water problems.
Instead, Nicol said Carson wanted to help his then-fiancee, Michele McPherson, leave her former life as an escort.
“It’s all about a pretty girl,” Nicol said as he read from the thick binders of evidence pre-sented at Carson’s preliminary hearing, which were formally submitted Monday as evidence at his trial.
“She’s the only reason we’re all in this,” Carson said of McPher-son in an email he sent to the owner of H2O Pros where he raised the issue of providing a commission for her.
Carson was a senior adviser to Harper from 2006 to 2008.
The court heard that Carson indicated to H2O Pros owner Pat-rick Hill that he could arrange meetings with cabinet ministers and government officials to get a deal to buy water purification equipment from him.
The Crown also said Carson contacted the prime minister dir-ectly about the proposal.
His lawyer, Patrick McCann was expected to argue Tuesday that any work Carson did was designed to influence First Nations bands to buy new water filtration equipment, and that he was not trying to influence the government.
But Nicol pre-empted that logic Monday, saying it’s clear Carson and H2O Pros had direct contact with the federal department that would be paying the bills.
