HYDRO RATE HIKES TO BE CUT BACK
TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)
BC Hydro should reduce its proposed rate increases by half and prune back a corporation that has become overstaffed and micromanaged, according to a review panel appointed by the province. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said yesterday he accepts the recommendations of a report by the three deputy ministers he appointed in April. They include reducing BC Hydro’s rate application to the eight per cent interim increase already being charged this year, followed by rate hikes of 3.9 per cent in each of the next two years. The B.C. Utilities Commission must approve any rate increases. The rate proposal currently before the commission is for increases of nearly 10 per cent this year, next year and 2013. With an aggressive reconstruction and expansion of the power grid underway, BC Hydro had been planning to raise rates by about 50 per cent in the next five years. Rolling back the increases requires BC Hydro to cut costs by $800 million over three years. The review panel estimates that would mean a reduction of up to 1,000 of the corporation’s 6,000 employees. BC Hydro CEO Dave Cobb said the corporation has already identified 250 positions that can be eliminated, and is working on efficiency measures that will cut another 350 jobs. NDP energy critic John Horgan focused on the panel’s recommendation that the province rethink its 2016 deadline for BC Hydro to become self-sufficient in electricity. That target was imposed by former premier Gordon Campbell to spawn a costly private power industry, and it should be scrapped altogether, Horgan said.
ELECTIONS BC
Boxes of HST ballots await verification and counting at the Elections BC receiving centre in Vancouver. days a week in two shifts, intending to have the ballots verified and counted by the end of August. A simple majority of votes cast will decide whether B.C. keeps the HST and lowers the rate by two points to 10 per cent in the next three years, or reinstates the former seven per cent provincial sales tax on top of the five per cent federal GST. Acting chief electoral officer Craig James said the time extension increased the cost of the referendum by $500,000 but the total cost is estimated to be $8.9 million, well under the initial estimate of $12 million. The only other mail-in referendum in B.C. was the 2002 vote on aboriginal treaty principles, which saw a return of 790,182 votes, about one third of the total sent out.

MONISHA MARTINS (Maple Ridge News)
A three-old-boy was airlifted to hospital yesterday afternoon after toppling out of a second-storey window in Maple Ridge. The toddler was playing in his house on Cottonwood Drive near 116th Avenue when he pushed through a screen around 2:15 p.m., falling on to the pavement below. His fall was broken by a plastic playhouse, said fire chief Peter Grootendorst. Grootendorst added the child had no serious visible wounds but was in obvious pain. An air ambulance was called in to transport him to hospital so he could be checked for internal injuries. The boy was conscious and holding a teddy bear when he was loaded onto the helicopter, which landed at Thomas Haney secondary. He is the second child to tumble through a screened window in Metro Vancouver since Wednesday and the fifth so far this summer. On Wednesday, a two-year-old
boy fell from third-storey window of a townhouse in Surrey. In early June, a two-year-old New Westminster girl died of injuries sustained in a similar fall. “This is a reminder for all parents to be vigilant when children
are playing near open windows,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “Even though the opening had a window screen in place, this may not be enough to stop a small child from going through.”

The cat came back – all on its own. In the end, the $5,000 reward, hundreds of missing posters, national media coverage, online and social media campaigns, classified ads, a tracking dog request and 12 straight days of searching day and night were for naught. Kitty the feline, who went missing from a downtown Kelowna home on July 30, reappeared Wednesday in the same spot she disappeared from. “I have no idea what happened to her and probably never will,” said relieved owner Barb Cook. “She’s lost a ton of weight, is really dirty and smeared with grease and is traumatized. My best guess is that she ended up trapped in someone’s shed or garage and bolted as soon as she could to come back.” The irony of the extraordinary measures to find the cat to have it simply return are not lost on Cook. “I know,” she said with a laugh. “People have asked me in jest if the cat wasn’t here the whole time and I

Workers have uncovered a live artillery round on a West Vancouver construction site. West Vancouver police say they were called to the excavation site Tuesday afternoon where workers found a brassencased munition weighing up to 18 kilograms. Police say the part that ignites the round – the munition’s primer – was still intact. The RCMP’s explosives unit was called, who in turn called in the navy explosives disposal unit, which took the round away for destruction.

just didn’t know it.” Cook’s missing cat story struck a chord, not just in Kelowna, but across the country. She ran a classified ad in a Kelowna paper offering a $5,000 reward. The story was picked up by newspapers and websites across Canada and Cook was flooded with calls of sympathy, support and tips of where to look for lost cats. It was Cook’s three-year-old niece, Caira, who spotted Kitty back in the yard Wednesday morning. Caira’s mother, who is Cook’s sister, won’t allow Cook to give the child the reward money. “I think what I’d do is use the $5,000 for a down payment as originally planned and then save and offer to pay for Caira’s tuition for first-year college or university in 15 years time,” Cook said. Kitty is now getting a bath and veterinarian check and then Cook will scour town again – this time to take down all the missing posters she put up and tell all the people she contacted that Kitty has come home.

Home prices are hanging onto big one-year gains in the Lower Mainland. The benchmark price for detached houses topped $898,000 in July, a 13.3 per cent increase from a year ago, reported the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. The association reported apartment prices were up 4.5 per cent over one year to $405,000 while attached units were up 6.9 per cent to $525,000. Fraser Valley realtors said detached houses sold for a benchmark price of $534,000 there in July, a gain of about 4.6 per cent from a year earlier.
An eleven-year-old boy was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver following a steer-riding accident at Chilliwack Fair Saturday night. Organizers said it was not clear whether the boy, who was riding in the under-15 event, was trapped between the steer and the metal fence, or whether the steer trampled on him after he fell off. His femur was broken just below the hip and was operated on Sunday morning. The child, who lives in Quesnel, was released from hospital and flew home Wednesday.
Paramedics wheel the three-old-boy into a helicopter, which transported him to hospital.

The agency says the country’s trade deficit with the world widened from $1 billion in May to $1.6 billion in June. Exports fell to $36.5 billion, largely the result of declines in energy products and automotive products, while merchandise imports fell to $38 billion. Canada’s trade surplus with the United States slipped from $3.7 billion in May to $3.6 billion in June.

Within hours, however, they were exploring the possibility of a criminal act: police said they were beginning to suspect that perhaps someone tossed the projectile onto the car. A passenger suffered minor injuries to his arms.

is something we will be elaborating on in the not-too-distant future.” Canada has already put sanctions on Syria that prevent the country’s leaders from travelling to Canada and essentially ban trade between the two countries. But the measures are largely symbolic because Canada exports only about $60 million a year to Syria, and receives less than a tenth of that in imports. The United States has been turning up the pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as Syrian forces have widened a brutal offensive aimed at crushing a five-month uprising against the regime. Activists say more than 2,000 people have died in cities and towns across the country. A spokesman for U.S. President Barack Obama stopped just short Thursday of calling for Assad’s ouster, but added: “We believe that President Assad’s opportunity to lead the transition has passed.”

A dispute over ownership of a monastery in Croatia has led to unusual strains between the Vatican and Croatia, a staunchly Catholic bastion in the Balkans. The Vatican expressed “astonishment” yesterday that Croatian authorities have refused to go along with a decision by Pope Benedict XVI that Croatia’s Catholic church return the monastery to a Benedictine community in Italy and pay nearly $9 million in compensation. Croatians fear the pope’s decision could open the way to similar requests by Italians, who before and during World War II ruled over the territory.
Lebanese authorities have informed the special court investigating the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri they are unable to arrest four suspects, all members of Hezbollah, or serve them with their indictments, the tribunal said yesterday.

He says the military’s response to provocations from his opponents should be to remain unified.
Even words aren’t cheap anymore. The United Nations is putting a word limit on reports because of the costs of reproducing and translating them.

Prime Minister David Cameron said yesterday that Britain would look to the United States for solutions to gang violence after nights of riots and looting, and promised authorities would get strong powers to stop street mayhem erupting again. Cameron told lawmakers he was “acting decisively to restore order on our streets,” as police raided houses to round up suspects from four nights of unrest in London and other English cities.

He said the 16,000 police deployed on London’s streets to deter rioters and reassure residents would remain through the weekend. “We will not let a violent few beat us,” Cameron said. While Britain’s streets were clear of looters for a second night in a row, the toll of the riots continued to climb. A 68-year-old man who was attacked during rioting in west London as he tried to put out a fire died late Thursday, police said in a statement. Richard Mannington Bowes had been in a coma since Monday. Police said a murder investigation has now been opened into his death.
Lawmakers were summoned back from their summer vacations for an emergency session of Parliament on the riots as government and police worked to regain control, both on the streets and in the court of public opinion. During a session lasting almost three hours in which he faced 160 questions from lawmakers, Cameron promised tough measures to stop further violence and said “nothing should be off the table.”

Israel’s interior minister gave final authorization to build 1,600 apartments in disputed east Jerusalem and will approve 2,700 more in days, officials said yesterday, detailing a plan that could complicate diplomatic efforts to dissuade Palestinians from declaring statehood at the United Nations. The announcement drew immediate criticism from the Palestinians, and from Israel’s leading anti-settlement group, which accused the government of Benjamin Netanyahu seizing on mass protests over housing costs to give economic justification to the always explosive issue of building in the holy city. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office knew the construction plans were moving ahead, Interior Ministry spokesman Roi Lachmanovich said. Lachmanovich, the ministry spokesman, said the new apartments were necessary to address a housing shortage in the city. “There’s always something pending,” he said, when asked about the timing of the approvals.

Bachmann, who has risen in polls since entering the race this summer and has eclipsed Pawlenty, quickly responded with a list of what she called Pawlenty’s liberal policies when he was Minnesota’s governor, including his support for legislation to curb industrial emissions. “You said the era of small government is over,” she told Pawlenty. “That sounds a lot like Barack Obama if you ask me.”
Minnesota rivals Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann sparred bitterly in a Republican presidential debate, trying to stand out ahead of an Iowa test vote with huge consequences. Each seeks to become the main challenger to Republican front-runner Mitt Romney. In the twohour, eight-candidate debate last night, the squabbling by Pawlenty and Bachmann allowed Romney to remain above the fray and emerge relatively unscathed by his rivals.

Betty Ford Center managers learned this week that the former first lady’s final wishes call for the rehab centre that bears her name to receive $500,000 US in donations. Betty Ford authorized a $400,000 donation in her final will, the centre said. The facility will also receive another $100,000 from a foundation former President Gerald Ford and his wife founded a decade ago. The centre was co-founded by Betty Ford in 1982 and it has treated nearly 100,000 patients, including numerous Hollywood celebrities, for drug and alcohol dependency. Despite its high-profile clientele, the facility remains one of the most respected treatment centres in the United States. The outspoken former first lady personally greeted patients at the centre for years and remained a high-profile advocate for treatment solutions, especially for women. She granted the Betty Ford Center rights to use her name forever, the facility said. “Mrs. Ford was and always will be the heart and soul of this place of healing,” Mary Pattiz, chairman of the Board of Directors. “It means so much to us that after all she had given over the past 30 years, the centre was still front and centre in her mind during her final days.”

BIN LADEN MOVIE IGNITES U.S. FEUD WASHINGTON (Associated Press)
A movie about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, expected in theatres just weeks before the 2012 U.S. presidential election, is already generating a partisan political feud. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, says he’s worried that the Obama administration will only be too happy to give sensitive details about the Navy SEAL mission to the Oscar-winning moviemakers behind the project. White House spokesman Jay Carney suggests that King should have better things to do than complain about a movie. King has sought an investigation by the CIA and Pentagon inspectors general, wanting them to review the administration’s co-operation with director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal, both Academy Award winners for The Hurt Locker. King said too much information already has leaked out about the Navy SEAL raid in May that killed bin Laden in Pakistan, and he noted that Pentagon officials have cautioned against further discussion of the mission. Among other things, King asked the inspectors general to determine what consultations occurred in the administration about providing Hollywood with access to covert military operators and clandestine
CIA officers. Carney told reporters, “When people, including you in this room, are working on articles, books, documentaries or movies that involve the president, ask to speak to administration officials, we do our best to accommodate them to make sure that facts are correct. That is hardly a novel approach to the media. “We do not discuss classified information. And I would hope that as we face the continued threat from terrorism, the House Committee on Homeland Security would have more important topics to discuss than a movie.”

REITMAN TO MENTOR NEW TALENT AT TIFF
TORONTO (Canadian Press)
Up In the Air director Jason Reitman will mentor new talent at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Oscar-nominated Reitman and distribution veteran Bingham Ray have been chosen to guide 24 artists in the festival’s intensive talent lab. It runs Sept. 7 to 10. Meanwhile, emerging actors Sarah Allen, Katie Boland, Sarah Gadon and Keon Mohajeri will be the first participants in the festival’s Rising Stars program. TIFF says it’s designed to help homegrown talent break internationally. The foursome will get a chance to network with casting directors, agents, managers, producers and filmmakers. Gadon’s resume already includes roles in David Cronenberg’s films Cosmopolis and A Dangerous Method, as well as Mary Harron’s The Moth Diaries. Allen’s credits include Human Trafficking and the Secret Window, with recurring roles in Little Mosque on the Prairie, MVP, Murdoch Mysteries and Being Human. Boland is currently filming Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Mohajeri’s film and television appearances include Flashpoint, Good Dog, Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, and Murdoch Mysteries.

MCGILLIS TIRED OF TOP GUN SONG
ROYCE DA 5’9” HOPES TO BE AS BIG AS EMINEM
TORONTO (Canadian Press)
NEW YORK (Associated Press)
Royce da 5’9” has enjoyed a No. 1 album thanks to his collaboration with Eminem, but he doesn’t enjoy the same amount of fame. He’s still aiming high, though. “It would be great if I could be in that position,” says Royce. The rapper has toiled under the radar for years, but is enjoying a different side of fame since working with Eminem, whom he has known for years. Their joint album Hell: The Sequel under the moniker Bad Meets Evil was a success, and Royce appeared on stage with Eminem at the recent Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. “It’s one of the most massive things that I’ve ever been a part of performance-wise. It was crazy, the energy was great, everybody showed Marshall a lot of love,” Royce said in an interview about Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers. “Once you reach that level of superstardom, like when you’re beyond hip-hop, that’s like something else. Not everybody is built for that,” says the rapper. But Royce is hoping to ride the wave of his Bad Meets Evil success with his new album, Success Is Certain, which was released this week.
Music | Singer Gavin DeGraw has cancelled several more concerts so he can recover from injuries suffered in a New York street attack.
When Top Gun was released 25 years ago, Kelly McGillis says she was constantly confronted by fans crooning You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, the song Tom Cruise serenades her with in the hit film. “It was horrifying, I couldn’t go anywhere without people looking at me and singing to me,” McGillis recalled. “It was terrible! If I never heard that song again I would be happy ... because every time I went any place people would sing to me.” McGillis shot to stardom in the blockbuster as Charlie, the flight instructor who falls for cocky pilot Maverick, played by Cruise. For ‘80s film-goers, the couple’s initial encounter became a classic cinematic meeting: Maverick notices McGillis’s character sitting at a bar, grabs a microphone and begins to warble an off-key rendition of the Righteous Brothers hit, soon joined by a chorus of other pilots including his wingman Goose (Anthony Edwards). Maverick is ultimately rebuffed, and is mortified the next day when he realizes Charlie is his instructor at the elite Top Gun academy.
With its awe-inspiring flight sequences and steamy love scenes, the film was a smash in the summer of 1986, inspiring legions of movie-goers to purchase aviator glasses and leather flight jackets. McGillis, who turned in an acclaimed performance in Witness,

says she was unprepared for the attention she received upon the release of Top Gun. “I just became so famous it was overwhelming,” she said. “I never thought about that. I never aspired to be famous so that was really scary and overwhelming to me.” While Cruise went on to have a long career, McGillis largely dropped out of the spotlight after Top Gun, with the exception of her turn in 1988’s The Accused. After two failed marriages, she came out as a lesbian and last September, the New York Times reported that she and her partner were joined in a civil union. Although she still has acting projects on the go, McGillis also works full-time at a New Jersey rehab centre speaking about her struggles with addiction. “I have no training and I’m not a therapist ... I just spend a lot of time with the girls ... I’m really the lowest man on the totem pole,” she said. “What I do get to do, is spend all my time with the people and I get to share my experience of being a drug addict and an alcoholic and how I got help and how I got better. And I can’t think of a better gift to be able to give back.”

Novak Djokovic from Serbia returns to Marin Ciilic from Croatia during round-of-sixteen play at the Rogers Cup tennis tournament yesterday in Montreal.
DJOKOVIC REACHES ROGERS CUP QUARTER FINALS MONTREAL (Canadian Press)
Some top players have shown signs of rust at the Rogers Cup, but not top-seeded Novak Djokovic. The 24-year-old Serb kept his strong season alive with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Marin Celic of Croatia yesterday to reach the quarter-finals of the $2.43 million US Masters Series event. He’s the last of the top four seeds still alive in the tournament after No. 3 Roger Federer was upset by 13th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-1. In his second match since taking over the No. 1 ranking with a victory at Wimbledon four weeks ago, Djokovic broke the lanky Cilic’s heavy serve twice in the second set to improve to 50-1 this year – including 26-0 on hard courts. He had beaten another former top-10 player, Evgeny Davydenko, in straight sets in the second round. “Both of the matches I’ve played here were against good players, but I didn’t get any rhythm in either match,” he lamented. “Conditions were quite different today. “There was a lot of wind. It wasn’t a beautiful match to play or watch, but I guess in the right
moments I kept the ball in the court to make my opponent make unforced errors. I was just more patient and played well, so I guess that’s the positive.” The tournament had already lost defending champion Andy Murray and second-seeded Rafael Nadal to upsets in the early rounds before losing Swiss star Federer in third-round action. Federer, the Rogers Cup runner-up to Murray last year, lost to Tsonga for the second time at this tournament. Tsonga beat Federer, then ranked No. 1 in the world, in the quarter-finals of the 2009 event. Tsonga also beat Federer at Wimbledon this year. Tsonga dominated the third set with dominant serves and quick groundstrokes, and Federer found himself unable to match the Frenchman. “(Tsonga) made amazing shots,” Federer said. “I don’t think I played bad, but I really didn’t have a good start to the third set, which didn’t help.” Tsonga will face Nicolas Almagro of Spain in the quarter-finals. Almagro came back after being broken in the first set to defeat 10th seed Richard Gasquet of France 7-6 (5), 6-3.

ATHLETICS THUMP BLUE JAYS 10-3 TORONTO (Canadian Press)
Conor Jackson drove in three runs with a triple and a sacrifice fly, Hideki Matsui had four hits and two RBIs and Guillermo Moscoso allowed two runs over six innings yesterday as the Oakland Athletics thumped the Toronto Blue Jays 10-3. The Blue Jays (59-58) committed two errors, gave up nine walks and hit two batters as the Athletics (53-64) took the rubber match of the three-game series. J.P. Arencibia hit his 19th homer of the season for Toronto in the seventh inning against Fautino De Los Santos. Oakland scored six runs against left-hander Brad Mills (1-2) in the third inning before the Jays starter retired. In his third start this season with Toronto, Mills allowed six runs, five hits and two walks in his three innings. The A’s added four in the sixth against left-hander Luis Perez. It was plenty of support for Moscoso (5-6), who held the Blue Jays to three hits and two walks while striking out five. One of his two runs was unearned. The A’s big third started with a walk to Adam Rosales, who was doubled to third by Scott Sizemore. Cliff Pennington drove in two runs with a double over the head of left-fielder Eric Thames. Matsui then singled to score Pennington before Mills hit Josh Willingham with a pitch. Jackson followed that up by tripling off the wall in left. Thames made a leaping attempt, then stood as if he thought the ball had cleared the wall. Instead, it was rolling on the turf until retrieved by centre-fielder Colby Rasmus. Jackson scored on a wild pitch by Mills.

SHARAPOVA UPSET AT ROGERS CUP TORONTO (Canadian Press)
In a season full of talk about the parity in women’s tennis, unheralded Galina Voskoboeva became the latest to step up and prove exactly that point yesterday. The 26-year-old from Kazakhstan, ranked just 135th in the world, dispatched No. 5 Maria Sharapova 6-3, 7-5, on a day that not only marked the ousting of one of the sport’s biggest stars, but the ejection of a couple of newly-minted Grand Slam champs. Voskoboeva, who cruised past Marion Bartoli and Flavia Pennetta to earn her date with Sharapova, beat the Russian veteran with lovely drop shots and had the six-foot-two Sharapova chasing balls back to the baseline all game long. “Every game was so tight, you know. It’s like it was deuce, advantage, deuce, advantage,” Voskoboeva said. Sharapova became the latest casualty of the Rogers Cup women’s draw, which has seen 11 of the 16 seeds bow out. Hours earlier, No. 6 seed Li Na was knocked out of the third round’s action with a 6-2, 6-4 loss to No. 10 seed Samantha Stosur of Australia. Li became the first Asian player to win a Grand Slam singles title two months ago at the French Open. American star Serena Williams advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Chinese qualifier Zheng Jie. No. 3 seed Vera Zvonareva of Russia is also out, losing 6-4, 7-6 (4) to Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland.

SANAA, Yemen (Associated Press)
Yemen’s embattled president is now objecting to key points of a U.S.-backed deal that calls for him to step down in return for immunity from prosecution, a member of his ruling party said yesterday. The ofďŹ cial said President Ali Abdullah Saleh spoke during a meeting with his top party ofďŹ cials in the Saudi capital Riyadh, where he is recuperating from severe burns and other wounds sustained in a June attack on his compound in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital. The remarks reect yet another stalling manoeuvre by Saleh, who has clung to power in the face of nearly six months of street protests demanding his ouster and a deteriorating economic and security situation in Yemen. Yemen’s uprising was inspired by the revolts that swept across other parts of the Arab world this year. The protests have often turned violent, with Saleh’s security forces using deadly force against the protesters. The power transfer deal, proposed by a Saudi-led group of Arab Gulf nations, envisages Saleh stepping down and handing power to his deputy, who would rule during until presidential and parliamentary elections take place.
The Chinook helicopter that insurgents shot down over the weekend burst into ames before hitting the ground, leaving wreckage scattered on both sides of a river in eastern Afghanistan and killing 30 Americans and eight Afghans, witnesses told The Associated Press yesterday. Farhad, a resident of Tangi Valley in Wardak province where the helicopter crashed before dawn Saturday, said that it was brought down by a rocketpropelled grenade ďŹ red from a hillside that he pointed to. “As soon as it was hit, it started burning,â€? he said, standing in a ďŹ eld still littered with small pieces of the chopper, a part of a gun stamped “Made in Germanyâ€? and a piece of paper with typewritten ďŹ rst aid instructions. “After it started burning, it crashed. It came down in three pieces,â€? he added. “We could see it burning from our homes.â€? Many of the victims’ bodies were badly mangled and burned, said Farhad, who like many Afghans uses only one name. The crash of the Chinook CH-47, about 97 kilometres southwest of

Sandra Crosby, instructor of the Inverglen Scottish Dancers, founded the Dance School in 1980. All her dancers perform Highland, Scottish Country, Step and Hard Shoe dancing, with classes held in Vancouver and at her home studio in Abbotsford. The non-competitive dancers may study for their Highland Medal Test Dance exams, registered with the Scottish Dance Teachers’ Alliance under the Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing in Scotland.
Sandra says her dancers enjoy dancing for the fun of movement, at the same time learning a disciplined skill that will carry them through their lives and acquaint them with the world-wide network of RSCDS groups where they will always be welcome to join the dancing. There are classes for all ages. The Wee Ones at 3 yrs old learn basic steps for reels and jigs in a light-hearted, fun program meant to foster a love of dance through solo and group work. The Junior Dancers, aged 3 – 13 perform at hospitals, senior’s homes and local charity events. The Senior Dancers aged 15 – 30 perform throughout BC and the Pacific Northwest and have performed in England, Scotland, Singapore and Australia. They have just returned from the Beltaine Festival in Aviles, Spain with performances each day and evening in the Asturias region. To register: www.inverglenscottishdancers.com 604.850.1605 The Inverglen Scottish Dancers will perform at the PNE on Sept. 2 at 2:00 p.m. and Sept. 17 at 12:15 at Campbell Valley Regional Park.

Some of the debris also ended up on a nearby hillside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the helicopter came at night, the Taliban were hiding in the bushes around the area,â&#x20AC;? he said.
