excited about the material.” The local chapter of SOS at VIU started in 2011 currently offers student support from approximately 12 to 15 tutors, said Ward. There are 30 SOS chapters all across Canada. The money raised through tutoring locally went towards the construction of a kindergarten class in Pueblo Viejo, Nicaragua. In May, a group of VIU students travelled to the community with SOS to meet the community and assist in the construction of the classroom. In March, Hamilton also won a second-place award at VIU’s CREATE conference in the Scholarship Slam category for her biology presentation on Intestinal Trematode Communities of the Belted Kingfisher in Coastal British Columbia.
Zane Gauthier doesn’t understand the high price of gas. Filling his tank at a Nanaimo gas station, Gauthier said the fact that gas prices are closing in on the same totals as this time last year makes no sense. In June of 2014, the price of gas was selling for up to $1.45.9 per litre in gas stations in Nanaimo when oil surged as high as $106 a barrel. However, oil is now selling for approximately $60 a barrel in international markets, $46 cheaper than a year ago, but gas in most local stations was selling for $1.27.9 in Nanaimo over the weekend, not too far off last year’s prices. And, as the busy summer driving season approaches, experts are predicting another bump in prices in the coming weeks. “Who can understand why the gas prices are the way they are these days?” Gauthier asked. “I usually check out the prices around Nanaimo before I gas up because there sometimes differences in the prices between stations.” Jason Parent, vice president of MJ Ervin & Associates which monitors gas prices, said the price of oil actually plays just a small part in gas prices. He said the fact the loonie is currently trading at just 82 cents as compared to the American dollar, the lowest it has been in years, is one of the reasons. That’s because a lot of the gasoline used in Canada is refined and processed in the U.S. where refineries price the base commodity in American dollars. Parent said another reason is that demand for gas is higher this year than last year, largely due to the fact that lower gas prices over the last year drove up vehicle use across North America. Phil Flynn, the senior market analyst at the energy research firm Price Futures Group, added that the demand for gas is also increasing because four large U.S. refineries have recently cut back production due to breakdowns and maintenance. Flynn said that as a result, there are currently only about 23 days’ worth of gasoline in storage across North America. Parent said motorists can expect to see the price of gas rise again in Nanaimo and other Canadian markets as the summer season kicks in, but not by much. “I expect it shouldn’t rise any more than six cents in the coming months,” he said.

‘Phenomenal feedback’ led to SOS honour

ancouver Island University student Elsie Hampshire’s enthusiasm for learning has earned her a national award as a standout instructor through the charitable organization Students Offering Support. The concept behind the organization is that third- and fourth-year students who excel in their studies provide tutorial and exam support to help teach their peers in first- and secondyear courses. Students pay a fee of $20 for the Exam-AID tutorials, which is then goes towards sustainable educational projects in Latin America. This year, Hampshire was selected at SOS’s Exam-AID’s Instructor of the Year due to her standout level of feedback from students who participated in her tutorials. “We have just one award per year to recognize the tutors, to pick one tutor who kind of

Council to vote on grant criteria SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo council is poised to vote tonight to change the criteria for awarding cultural grants for events and organizations in the city. Representatives from several groups in the city are expected to attend council tonight to urge city legislators to adopt the recommendations from the city’s culture and heritage commission, which would tie city funding to a merit-based standard, instead of the amount of time a group has been in the city. However, there are also con-
cerns stemming from a request from some on council to consider capping the amount of grant funding each organization can receive, over time or by dollar amount. The Vancouver Island Symphony is one group that has raised concerns about a cap on funding for city groups. The symphony, which received $85,000 in operating funding from the city this year, collects just 10 per cent of its revenue from city grants, said executive director Margot Holmes. “The VIS is concerned about funds being capped and/or cut from the arts and culture
grants, when approximately 75 (per cent) of the VIS budget is already raised through ticket sales and fundraising,” she said, adding the group supports the recommendations from the culture and heritage commission. Currently, groups seeking three-year cultural operating grants must have existed for at least four years. The new rules recommended by the commission would see reference to an organization’s age removed and instead base an application on merit, relevance and feasibility and public and economic impact. In a report to council, commis-
sion chairwoman and former councillor Diana Johnstone said there was “no support for time-based capping on continuous funding” from the body. Johnstone’s report also warned that capping funding could result in the “potential loss of the existing $581,000 (approximate) of provincial and federal grant funds currently being put back into the community as matching and/or leveraged funding.” Mayor Bill McKay said council must decide on whether it supports the new grant criteria, but said a discussion on capping funding should be broader.

Minister happy to now be in Nanaimo
What drew you to Nanaimo and when did you arrive? The summer of 2014. I really enjoyed being in Yorkton but I was trying to decide if I wanted to stay there as a retired person or if I wanted to do something different. A friend of mine definitely wanted to leave Yorkton, she found a place in Ladysmith. My friend suggested Nanaimo, I looked it up online, looked at housing possibilities and found a house that I kind of liked. I came here for almost a week just to look around by myself. The first house I looked at was one of the ones I had saw online. I was going to go to Yorkton to think about it, but I thought if I go back to Yorkton and found out the house was sold, how would I feel? I told the real estate agent I wanted to put an offer on the house and the rest was history.
For example, the city continues to give permissive (optional) tax exemptions to churches and other city groups each year, as well as grants for sports organizations, McKay said. “It’s a fiscal management issue,” he said.

me, ‘where are you going to take them in Nanaimo, I guess you could go to Ladysmith and the bakery and such and such.’ It was just sort of an under appreciation, really I don’t have to go anywhere else other than Nanaimo. I talked to others that lived in Nanaimo for years and they say there’s nothing to do in Nanaimo. There’s nothing to do? I’ve never done so much in my life.
The Wildfire Management Branch spent the weekend battling a 6.5-hectare wildfire approximately seven kilometres west of Mount Benson. The fire was reported at 12 p.m. on Saturday. A total of 21 firefighters were working Sunday to extinguish the blaze. As of Sunday morning the fire was not contained. Fire information officer Donna MacPherson said the humancaused fire was started on a private lot that had felled and bucked timber. “There’s lots of fuel on the ground,” MacPherson said. No structures or homes are threatened by the fire. The area is in a high fire danger rating due to warm temperatures and steady wind. Long range weather forecasts are predicting a return to warm and dry conditions next week. The fire is human-caused, and under investigation to determine the specific cause. The public is reminded that all open fires, except campfires, are prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdictional area, with the exception of the Fog Zone. This includes “party fires” or “bonfires” larger than a campfire.

How are you integrating into the community and what do you bring to Nanaimo? My craziness, I feel that this community has changed me. I tell people that all the time, I’ve never been as outgoing as I am here, I think it’s the people and how friendly they are. I think I do bring my enjoyment of being with people. When I came I could have been a hermit, I told myself I needed to make a conscious effort to get out and do things or else I wouldn’t get out. If you could make one change
to Nanaimo, what would it be? I don’t know what to say for that, ask me again five years from now and maybe I would have a full list of things. Maybe at some point when I’ve been here longer, reality hasn’t hit me year, I’m having too much fun. What’s the most underrated thing in/about Nanaimo, from your point of view? I think what’s underrated is the appreciation for Nanaimo itself. As an example I was having visitors and somebody who lives in another community said to

Squadron accepted to participate in the six-week glider-pilot training course at CFB Comox air base this summer. Only 42 cadets from across the province are invited to take the course through a scholarship each year, which are based on a number of criteria, including their school marks, community participation and how well they do in an interview before a review board.

Pope gets back to nature on climate change
P
erhaps the most interesting thing about Pope Francis’ much anticipated encyclical letter on the environment is that it is not a departure from past papal teachings. There has been a tendency to see Francis as a radical, downplaying homosexuality, for example, and smoking out corruption at the Vatican. Climate change deniers, especially in the U.S., are wont to portray the Pope’s adherence to mainstream climate science as just another thing he’s gotten wrong. Francis is seen as a deviant distraction, and a temporary one at that. Many of these people consider themselves part of the Christian spectrum, yet have clearly ignored the fundamental pre-
“Nature cannot be regarded as something separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we live.” cepts of the Christian relationship to Mother Earth. “We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters,” Francis writes. In the 187-page document, Francis takes considerable care to present the teachings of his predecessors. And the theme is
fairly consistent. Pope Saint John XXIII, 1961: “The most extraordinary scientific advances, the most amazing technical abilities, the most astonishing economic growth, unless they are accompanied by authentic social and moral progress, will definitively turn against man.” Pope Paul VI, 1971: “Due to an ill-considered exploitation of nature, humanity runs the risk of destroying it and becoming in turn a victim of this degradation.” Even Francis’ ultraconservative predecessor, Benedict XVI, said the world must go about “eliminating the structural causes of the dysfunctions of the world economy and correcting models of growth which have
proved incapable of ensuring respect for the environment.” Greenpeace couldn’t have said it better. “These statements of the popes echo the reflections of numerous scientists, philosophers, theologians and civic groups, all of which have enriched the Church’s thinking on these questions,” Francis writes. The lion’s share of the encyclical, summarizes the roots and science of climate change. Francis’ contribution is to provide a moral backdrop, such as the impact on the world’s poor. And although the Old Testament talks of man holding “dominion” over Creation, Francis instead emphasizes our place in it. “Nature cannot be regarded as something separate from
ourselves or as a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction with it.” He also pulls no punches in condemning those who manipulate the truth for their own gains. “There are too many special interests, and economic interests easily end up trumping the common good and manipulating information so that their own plans will not be affected,” he writes. When it comes to the moral dimensions of climate change, Francis seems to have it covered. — CP (ST. JOHN’S TELEGRAM)

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Are city officials really concerned about water? As of June 15, the City of Nanaimo increased water conservation regulations to Level 2, our new no-snow-melt-and-hot-summer reality. Residents in even-numbered addresses can now only water on Wednesdays and Saturdays while odd-numbered addresses can water only on Thursdays and Sundays. That being the case for Nanaimo residents, I trust Mayor McKay’s ill-advised plan to dump 360,000 litres of purified water down one of our sloping streets has been abandoned. However, our Mayor’s slide proposal, a slippery slope if there ever was one, has raised other water use questions. In these thirsty times, the regulations to date only apply to individual residents. What is the City of Nanaimo planning to do, not only to save water, but to lead by example? Is it sensible to keep watering that huge lawn in front of our former, now abandoned, City Hall as
well as those expansive lawns kept ever so green around other city properties like the police station on Fitzwilliam? As for commercial users of water, are there to be no regulations of water use for them whatsoever? How many hundreds of gallons of purified water per player are required to entertain the relatively few Nanaimo residents who enjoy swinging sticks at a little white ball trying to knock it into a hole in a manicured lawn? Every summer my lawn turns golden brown. Then it happily becomes green again when the fall rains come. Nature seems to love varieties of colours. Perhaps that’s a counsel we need to follow.

Charleston church hosts first service since killings
Senator: Redemption in defeating bill
Songs, prayer return to Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal in South Carolina PHILLIP LUCAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The congregation at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal swayed and sang and welcomed the world into their sanctuary Sunday, holding the first worship service since a gunman opened fire during a Bible study and killed nine church members. Messages of love, recovery and healing were interspersed throughout the service, which was marked by fervent singing and shouting, so much so that many congregants waved small fans in front of their faces. Police officers stood watch over the worshippers at the church known as “Mother Emanuel” because it is one of the oldest black congregations in the South. For added security, police officers stood watch. “It has been tough, it’s been rough, some of us have been downright angry, but through it all God has sustained us and has encouraged us. Let us not grow weary in well-doing,” said the Rev. Norvel Goff, a presiding elder of the 7th District AME Church in South Carolina. Goff was appointed to lead the historic Charleston church after Emanuel’s senior pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was shot and killed. A black sheet was draped over his usual chair, which sat empty Sunday. At least one parishioner kneeled down in front of it and prayed. Pinckney was also a state senator and married father of two children. Goff acknowledged Father’s Day and reminded people that God was the ultimate

father of these nine families. “The blood of the ’Mother Emmanuel 9’ requires us to work until not only justice in this case, but for those who are still living in the margin of life, those who are less fortunate than ourselves,” he said. Sunday morning marked the first service at Emanuel since Dylann Roof, 21, sat among a Bible study group for about an hour Wednesday night before opening fire after saying that he targeted them because they were black, authorities said. As Emanuel’s congregation belted out a gospel hymn, church
bells rang throughout downtown in this “Holy City” — which garnered the nickname because of the numerous churches here. Later Sunday, people were expected to gather on the Arthur Ravenel Bridge to join hands in solidarity. The bridge’s namesake is a former state lawmaker and a vocal the Confederate flag supporter. Photographs of Roof in a purported manifesto showed him holding Confederate flags and a burning American flag. It also contained hate-filled writings the author said was inspired in part by the killing of Trayvon Mar-
tin, an unarmed black teenager who was shot by neighbourhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder, and the author of the manifesto said he was in the right. Martin’s family said in a statement Sunday: “It is very unfortunate that an individual with such a vile mind and clear criminal intent would dare seek to undermine our mission of peace, in an attempt to destroy the legacy of our son.” Around the country, pastors asked people to pray for Charleston and the tragedy resonated far beyond urban areas.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Diane Bellemare is urging the discredited Senate to find redemption by doing its constitutional duty as the parliamentary chamber that represents the regions. The Conservative senator is waging a one-woman crusade within the Senate’s government caucus to block C-377, a private member’s bill that would force labour unions to publicly disclose how they spend their money. And she’s using the scandal over senators’ expenses to make her case. The controversial bill, sponsored by Conservative MP Russ Hiebert and backed strongly by the Prime Minister’s Office, would require unions to publicly disclose any spending of $5,000 or more and any salary of more than $100,000. It’s been widely denounced as undemocratic and an invasion of privacy and it’s opposed by at least five provinces, who’ve argued that the bill is a unconstitutional intrusion into provincial jurisdiction over labour laws. If senators want to reclaim some relevance in the midst of the current crisis, Bellemare maintains they need to represent the interests of their provinces and vote against C-377. “I would like to say that, at this difficult time when the Senate is being accused on all sides of not playing its role as a chamber of sober second thought, and of not taking the interests of the people it represents seriously, I urge you to vote in line with your constitutional obligations, the official positions of your respective governments, in other words, the provincial governments and the people they represent, and all of the emails you received that have criticized this bill as being too invasive,” she implored her colleagues last week.
ANIMAL WELFARE
Duo charged with failing to ® YOU AND THE LAW provide proper care at zoo CAN YOU REDUCE PROBATE FEES? Yes, if you plan ahead of me. Think of probate fees as a kind of tax that must be paid when someone wants official approval to administer an estate. If you have a will, probate fees are paid when your executor asks the court to “prove” (probate) your will. This is usually necessary when your estate holds assets like your house, bank term deposits or cars. Probate fees apply to all your property in BC and, if you’re a BC resident, your “intangible” assets (like stocks and money in bank accounts) anywhere else in the world. Once the court confirms that your will is valid and grants “le ers probate,” your executor can deal with the land tle office and banks to distribute your estate to your beneficiaries. What are the probate fees? • Estates of $25,000 or less – No fee • Estates $50,000 or less – $6 for every $1,000 (0.6%) on the amount between $25,000 and $50,000 •Estates over $50,000 – $14 per $1,000 (1.4%) on any amount above $50,000 If your estate is worth $480,000, the probate fees would be $6,170. How can you reduce this tax and preserve more of your assets for your heirs? Since probate fees only apply to assets in your estate, you want to keep your estate assets low. One way is to make gi s while you’re s ll alive to people (or organiza ons) that you want to benefit. What you give away before you die no longer belongs to you, so isn’t part of your estate. (But for some gi s, like a gi of stocks that have gone up in value, capital gains tax might have to be paid, so you’d have to consider this.) Another way is to designate beneficiaries under your life insurance policies, RSP’s and RIF’s. That way, the life insurance proceeds, RSP and RIF assets don’t go into the estate – they go directly to the people you designate. Or you could put certain assets (like your house and bank accounts) into joint tenancy with, say, your spouse. Then your spouse would get these assets outside the estate, so again, no probate fees would have to be paid. (But beware of unintended consequences. For example, if the other joint owner of your property is one of your children, your other children might claim the right to share on the basis that the joint owner child holds “in trust” for all your children.) There are more sophis cated methods, like crea ng certain types of trusts during your life me, in line with income tax laws, that allow you to keep control of the assets you put into the trust, yet keep them out of your estate, so no probate fees are paid (as the trust “owns” the assets, not you). For these, you’d need to do a cost-benefit review and get expert guidance. Probate fees are only one piece of the puzzle which a good estate plan deals with. Go talk to your lawyer – he or she can help, and keep your probate fees down as well.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GULF BREEZE, Fla. — Federal officials filed a complaint accusing the owners of a Florida zoo of failing to properly care for the animals, including euthanizing them by shooting and drowning them. The charges by the U.S. Department of Agriculture say the 50-acre (20-hectare) Gulf Breeze Zoo wasn’t properly supervised when a child was bitten by a camel. Rabbits weren’t separated so their babies were eaten, injured or had to be euthanized. The tiger enclosure didn’t have proper ventilation and other animal enclosures had rusted fences and exposed nails,
according to the complaint. The charges also allege the zoo, which houses hundreds of animals and recently welcomed a baby giraffe, didn’t use proper veterinary care and relied on expired medications and even shot an animal as a means of euthanasia. An opossum escaped from an improper enclosure and was found dead the next day. Lion and tiger food bins weren’t cleaned and goats and sheep didn’t have adequate shelter from sun and rain, according to the complaint. Owner Eric Mogensen and his daughter, Meghan, were charged with multiple violations of the Animal Welfare Act at the Gulf Breeze
facility, as well as two other facilities they own in Virginia — the Reston Zoo and the Virginia Safari Park in Natural Bridge. Complaints involving the Virginia facilities include euthanizing an animal by drowning, and mishandling of a spider monkey that resulted in its death due to hypothermia. The Humane Society of the United States said Meghan Mogensen pleaded guilty to animal cruelty while working at the Reston Zoo in Virginia, and was barred from making decisions about animal care and euthanasia. The Northwest Florida Daily News reports she later transferred to the Gulf Breeze Zoo.

CRIME
How drug dealers turned their lives around Surrey School District’s Wrap Project began in 2009, especially useful in time of three local shootings TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS
SURREY — When Rob Rai and the Surrey School District opened the Wrap Project in 2009, those starting the dedicated antigang program plainly acknowledged that groups of local teenagers were committing serious crimes. The launch was progressive action from the city southeast of Vancouver, which had been plagued for decades by drug-related gun violence, Rai said. The need for the unit is especially apparent after a spate of shootings in the last three months in Surrey and neighbouring Delta. One person has been killed and several others have been injured in about three dozen shootings. The federal government recently signed a $3.5 million contract over five years in added funding for the prevention program that will immediately wipe out a waiting list of 30 students. “I don’t want to sound arrogant or anything, but I think we are doing a good job,” said Rai. “We’re taking the farm team away. The up-and-comers who are trying to get to the big leagues, we’re trying to stop them right here.” These are the stories of three Surrey teenagers who say participating in Wrap steered them from crime to productive paths. Their names have been changed to protect their anonymity. Donald, 18 The tattooed younger brother of a notorious Surrey, B.C., gangster was dealing drugs in his early teens because of his sibling’s influence and easy connections. He never applied for a job at McDonald’s like his peers because he didn’t know how to write a resume. His family was briefly affluent

when he was a child, but his abusive father eventually walked out and his brother, five years his senior, tried to resume a lavish lifestyle with drug proceeds. They no longer had much to eat. Teachers referred him to special programming starting in Grade 3 to deal with his anger issues and misbehaviour. When his mom tossed him from home in Grade 8 he moved to the corner to make cash. Things changed with a new girlfriend, his desire to reconcile with his mom and his entry in the Wrap program, which offered him people to trust when he had nobody else. “A family looks out for you and
they look out for each and every one of their other kids who are in the team. That’s why they’re family,” said Donald. He’s now the first in his family to graduate from high school. Donald earned a scholarship to continue education in welding and said his passion for the culinary arts is his Plan B. — Terrence, 18 The outwardly reserved teenager was arrested and jailed about twice weekly on theft and weapons allegations starting in Grade 8. He considered himself “better” than his middle-class parents and sisters, preferring to hang

with friends sometimes a decade older who drove nice cars. He was signed up to Wrap and delighted when mentors bought him lunch, but continued stealing with his crew until he learned “the hard way” he was being used. Terrance credits Wrap’s staff for his graduation from high school. “I fell down more than a few times. I went to at least six, seven high schools. Every time I’d fall, they were still there,” said Terrence, explaining how they built trust with him. “All your friends tell you that police officers are bad and teachers don’t know. You get manipu-
lated into thinking that way. Then after you start talking to them and everything, you start realizing they’re good people.” He has since mentored troubled youth himself. He’s considering joining the military. — Megan, 18 The bubbly teenager wearing hot orange pants started cooking, cleaning and taking care of her younger siblings at age 10. She moved to Canada from Ghana with her father and mother two years earlier. Both would leave for work about the same time she arrived home from school. She was beaten and insulted by her mom starting at about age 13 because she couldn’t always handle the responsibility. Megan tried to keep the abuse a secret, over fear she or her siblings would be removed from their home, but finally contacted an empathetic school counsellor. She was directed into an outreach program, gained a mentor who chauffeured her places and gave her life advice like an older sister. Without the program, Megan is pretty sure she wouldn’t be graduating, might be involved with drugs and would be living a “very messed” life. She admits to a phase where she followed bad people, doing bad things. “At that stage I was just so vulnerable. But I knew deep within that I was better than that,” said Megan. “Regardless of what my mom did, I knew I could be better, all I had to do was prove it.” Megan graduated and works as a hairdresser in Vancouver. » We want to hear from you.

HISTORY
Manhunt for escaped killers shifts Pope Francis critical after possible Pennsylvania sighting of WWII world powers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRIENDSHIP, N.Y. — Investigators tracking two murder convicts who escaped from a northern New York prison scoured a rural area Sunday near the Pennsylvania border after possible sightings shifted the search across the state. Hundreds of law enforcement officers walked railroad tracks and checked car trunks as a helicopter flew back and forth over the town of Friendship, where state police said someone reported Saturday spotting two men near the railroad line that runs along County Route 20. While state police described the sighting as unconfirmed, the intense hunt that had focused for two weeks around a prison near the Canadian border was quickly refocused on a rural, mountainous area 350 miles away, dotted with sheds, trailers, summer homes and other potential hideouts. Concentrating in the area along County Route 20 and Interstate 86, officers set up roadblocks, deployed search dogs and, at one point, state police outfitted in camouflage could be seen heading into some woods. David Sweat and Richard Matt broke out of the maximum-security Clinton Correctional
SWEAT
Facility in Dannemora on June 6 using power tools and leaving behind dummies under bedcovers in their adjoining cells. Until Saturday, the search was concentrated in a several-mile radius around the prison in the Adirondacks. Up to 800 law enforcement officers combed woods, went door-to-door and set up roadblocks. Authorities also said Friday that two men fitting the descriptions of Sweat and Matt had been seen a week ago in Steuben County, east of Allegany County. Two men were seen walking near a rail yard in Erwin on June 13, and then seen the next day in Lindley, heading toward the Pennsylvania border. Investigators conducted interviews in both communities and sent surveillance video to Albany
for further analysis. Railroads in Steuben and Allegany Counties referred inquiries Sunday to the state police. If the two escapees are still roaming the woods together, that’s not surprising, said Patrick Patten, who trains law enforcers on woodland tracking and has been involved in high-profile manhunts including the search for Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph. Patten said fugitives in the wilderness often stick together, unless they have pre-planned to split up and come back together at a camp or other hideaway. State police moved the search command post from the prison Saturday to nearby Cadyville and focused attention on the other side of the state. They advised the public to report any suspicious activity and asked residents who live in the Friendship area along the New York-Pennsylvania border to be on alert. The two men are “very dangerous” and should not be approached, state police said. Several roads around Friendship were blocked off, and police used helicopters and search dogs “I was a little concerned. You have these guys running around.

ROME — Pope Francis on Sunday denounced what he calls the “great powers” of the world for failing to act when there was intelligence indicating Jews, Christians, homosexuals and others were being transported to death camps in Europe during World War II. He also decried the deaths of Christians in concentration camps in Russia under the Stalin dictatorship, which followed the war. The pope’s harsh assessments came in impromptu remarks during his visit to Turin, northern Italy, when he told young people he understands how they find it hard to trust the world. “The great powers had photographs of the railway routes that the trains took to the concentration camps, like Auschwitz, to kill the Jews, and also the Christians, and also the Roma, also the homosexuals,” Francis said, citing the death camp in Poland. “Tell me, why didn’t they bomb” those railroad routes? Referring to concentration camps that came “a little later” in Russia, Francis wondered aloud: “How many Christians suffered, were killed” there?
LONDON — Authorities have arrested a 42-yearold man for endangering the safety of a plane after a United Airlines flight from Rome to Chicago was forced to divert to Northern Ireland. Belfast International Airport Constabulary said in a statement Sunday that the man with dual Italian and American nationality is also set to be charged with disruptive behaviour on board an aircraft and common assault. Airport officials did not elaborate on what the passenger is alleged to have done, nor did they offer any other personal details about him. The flight, UA971, touched down on Saturday to “offload” the disruptive passenger. However, as the flight crew had exceeded the number of hours they were permitted to work, the 269 passengers and 14 crew members had to wait until Sunday to continue their journey.

Pope Francis
Lamenting the cynicism of world players in the 1930s and 1940s, Francis said: “the great powers divided up Europe like a cake.” He also cited what he called the “great tragedy of Armenia” in the last century. “So many died. I don’t know the figure, more than a million, certainly. But where were the great powers then? They were looking the other way,” the pope said. In April, the pope angered Turkey when he referred to the slaughter of Armenians by Turkish Ottomans as “genocide.” In today’s world, he told the young people: “Everything is done for money.” He criticized those advocating peace while manufacturing or selling arms. Francis reiterated his view that conflicts in the world today are tantamount to “a Third World War in segments.” » We want to hear from you.

‘Jurassic World’ holds the lead but ‘Inside Out’ shows some bite
Kanye leads the show in Atlanta
Spielberg’s fourth installment set an opening-weekend record last week at $208M THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — In a box-office bout of Tyrannosaurus-sized proportions, Jurassic World kept the No. 1 spot with one of the biggest second weeks ever, while Pixar’s Inside Out nearly matched it with a $91 million debut well above expectations. Universal’s Jurassic World took in $102 million in North American theatres, according to studio estimates Sunday, making it only the second release to break $100 million in its second week. The enormous holdover for Jurassic World, which last week set an opening weekend record with $208.8 million, has been bested by only 2012’s The Avengers,” which made $103.1 million in second week. The unexpected sensation of the Colin Trevorrow-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced fourth entry in the franchise had turned Disney’s $175 million 3-D Inside Out into an underdog expected to merely nip at the heels of Jurassic World. But the emotional Inside Out, about the voices in the head of an 11-yearold girl, blew past its own fore-

casts to set records, too. Inside Out was the first Pixar release not to open in first place, following an unparalleled two-decade streak of 14 straight no. 1s. But it’s the largest opening for a wholly original movie (one not based on source material or a sequel), unseating Avatar in that distinction. Directed by Pete Docter (Up) and co-directed
by Ronaldo del Carmen, Inside Out had been expected to open in the range of previous Pixar non-sequels like Wall-E ($63.8 million opening) and Brave ($66.3 million). But Inside Out was propelled by gushing reviews from critics, a flashy premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and an appetite for a movie from Pixar. The animation studio hadn’t
had a release in two years after delaying The Good Dinosaur last year. “We came into the weekend thinking we’d do something in the 60s,” said David Hollis, distribution head for Disney. “As we got closer to release, we hit a critical mass of really unbelievable critical response. In this day and age where technology allows people to see a Rotten Tomatoes score or read something and pass it along to their friends, all of a sudden, there was quite a stir about this as a thing to see.” The twin hits of Inside Out and Jurassic World are giving Hollywood’s summer a major boost. The weekend was up a staggering 64.6 per cent over the same weekend last year, according to box-office data firm Rentrak. In 10 days, Jurassic World has already almost made $981.3 million — nearly $1 billion — and appears poised to be among the highest-grossing releases of all time. “Part of the success of Inside Out is owed to this massive infusion of moviegoers into the marketplace,” says Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst.

Josh Duggar returns to social media scene
MARIA PUENTE USA TODAY
We may never see scandal-scarred Josh Duggar on TV again but he’s still on social media, posting birthday wishes to his son. It’s Michael James Duggar’s 4th birthday, so he served as the reason for daddy Josh’s return to Twitter and Instagram last week. “Happy 4th Birthday Michael James!” read the tweet, illustrated with a picture of a cute tyke
with a bowl haircut. It’s Duggar’s first social-media appearance since May 21, when his secret past as a teenage child molester spilled out into the regular media, shut down his career as a conservative lobbyist, and threatened the future of his family’s popular reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, on the TLC network. Josh Duggar’s last public statement was a long apologia on the family Facebook page. confessing to “inexcus-
able” behavior in his past which he deeply regretted but didn’t explain in detail. Now all the details are out, thanks to InTouch magazine, scores of angry tweeters, and two extensive interviews by members of the Duggar family (but not Josh) on Fox News two weeks ago. When he was 14 and 15, Josh, the eldest Duggar child, now 27, molested five underage girls, including four of his own little sisters, in his Arkansas

home. He confessed at the time to his pious parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who kept it under wraps for years until the statute of limitations expired. Josh was never charged with a crime. Because the Duggars promoted their Christian family values on their show and in their politics, the reaction in social media was instantaneous and toxic. Major advertisers abandoned the show and TLC yanked reruns from the schedule.

ATLANTA — Kanye West danced across the stage and knelt on his knees during a performance that left many in the audience repeating the words of his songs at one of Atlanta’s most popular hip-hop concerts. West capped a show filled with other hip-hop stars from Drake, Nicki Minaj and Future at Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash 20 on Saturday night. The Grammy-winning rapper performed some of his biggest hits including Gold Digger, Stronger and Jesus Walks in front of a sold-out crowd in Philips Arena. WHTA, known locally at Hot 107.9, celebrated its 20-year anniversary. Through Birthday Bash, the radio station became known for featuring some of hip-hop’s top artists for that particular year. Past artists to perform at the annual show have included Jay Z, Usher, Lil Wayne, T.I., Chris Brown, Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. West returned for a third time. This time, West stood on a nearly pitch-black stage with small amount of light coming from above much like he did at the Grammys in February. He kicked his set off with Power, sang about his late mother on Only One and brought out 2 Chainz in a rousing performance of Mercy” Sporting ripped jeans and grey sneakers he designed, West thanked attendees for giving him the inspiration to push forward in his music career. Members of audience were found repeating the words of his songs, especially on Can’t Tell Me Nothing and Blood on the Leaves. West followed the strong performance of rapper Future, an Atlanta-based rapper who kept his hometown crowd energized.

Spieth wins 115th U.S. Open Johnson chokes on final hole to give Masters champ his second straight major title SCOTT HANSON THE SEATTLE TIMES
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — One man’s agony became the other man’s joy. For Dustin Johnson, it was the most painful of losses. For 21-year-old Jordan Spieth, who moments before had been faced with the possibility of an excruciatingly painful loss, it was an unlikely and historic victory in Sunday’s final round of the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay. Spieth, who birdied the 18th hole, had to watch as Johnson attempted a 12-foot, 4-inch eagle putt that would have given him the win. But Johnson missed that putt, hitting it 4 feet past the hole. An 18-hole playoff Monday seemed certain, but Johnson missed again from short range, giving Spieth a one-shot victory over Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen. Spieth, the winner of the Masters at Augusta National in April, becomes the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to win the first two majors of the year and the youngest U.S. Open winner since Bobby Jones in 1923. “I’m still amazed that I won, let alone that we weren’t playing tomorrow,” Spieth said. “So for that turnaround right there, to watch that happen, I feel for Dustin, but I haven’t been able to put anything in perspective yet.” Said Johnson: “I’m disappointed, but also I’m disappointed that I three-putted the last hole. Other than that I had a damn good week. I’m happy with the way I played. I’m happy with everything in my game right now. “I had a chance to win again a major on a Sunday. I thought I handled myself very well. I hit the shots when I needed to. So I know what it takes to get it done, it’s real simple. I need to get in the hole faster.” It took 120 years for the U.S. Open to come here, and they might still be talking about this Open 120 years from now as one of the most dramatic in history. Keeping up with the amazing changes in momentum was dizzying. Johnson seemed like the winner after the front nine when he led by two shots, then it was Spieth who seemingly had it all wrapped up after taking a three-

shot lead after the 16th hole. He entered that hole tied with playing partner Branden Grace, but Grace made a double bogey after hitting his tee shot out of bounds and Spieth made a 27-foot birdie putt. That presumably ended the suspense, but Spieth made a double
bogey on the par-3 17th hole after hitting a poor tee shot, then needing three putts. Johnson, playing a group behind Spieth, hit a brilliant shot on the 17th hole that stopped 6 feet from the hole, and he buried the putt. In a flash, Spieth’s three-shot lead was gone and he was in a three-way tie with Johnson and Oosthuizen, who had already finished. Spieth took Oosthuizen out of the equation when he hit a brilliant approach on the par-5 18th, leaving him a 16-foot eagle putt. He missed by inches, then tapped in for a birdie and a one-shot lead
that was very precarious, with the long-hitting Johnson still with a chance on the 18th. Johnson hit a great drive, and his approach shot was even better. For Spieth, a playoff seemed to be the best possible result. Until it wasn’t. For Johnson, it was another excruciating near-miss in a major. He lost the 2010 U.S. Open after leading entering the final round and lost in the 2010 PGA Championship after leading with one hole left. For Spieth, anything now seems possible.

Jr. Timbermen win at home, fall on the road

All of a sudden, Brett Hawrys and Connor Leies are right back in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League scoring race. When the two combined for 16 points in a crucial 17-12 home win for the Nanaimo Junior A Timbermen over the Langley Thunder Saturday, that will happen. As will a six-point day for the duo on Sunday. But for the Timbermen, sixpoints from two of their top players wasn’t good enough for a road win on Sunday as they fell 14-8 to the Burnaby Lakers.

games to go in the 2015 season. On Saturday in Nanaimo, though, Hawrys and Leies looked ready to will their team into the post-season. Hawrys, in his final year of junior lacrosse and looking to boost his Senior A draft stock, had four goals and four assists on nine shots, including scoring
the game-winner. Leies, a rookie with the Timbermen, had an identical day. Not far behind was 21-year-old Dane Sorensen with two goals and four assists for Nanaimo, and rookie Alec Molander, who had a goal and three assists. Nanaimo’s Cody Short also had a four-point game, all on assists, while goalie Jerryd Jensen made 55 saves in the win. But the Timbermen couldn’t keep rolling when they hit the road for Burnaby on Sunday, failing to shut down Aidan Milburn, the league’s fourth-leading scorer. Milburn picked up six points for the Lakers, double what any one Timbermen player was able to pick up. Leies finished the game with two goals and an assist, while Hawrys had a goal and two
assists. With 51 points each, the two Nanaimo stars are tied with Cole Pickup of the Victoria Shamrocks for ninth in league scoring. Molander scored twice with an assist in the Timbermen loss, as did Short, and Sorensen finished with tow points off a goal and an assist. Jensen and Matt Zeller split goaltending duties. The Timbermen, now at 5-9-1 on the season, have their work cut out for them if they want to make the playoffs for the first time since 2011. To make things even more difficult, their next four games are on the road beginning with a Wednesday night tilt in Delta against the second-place Islanders.

A day at Chambers Bay will never be forgotten
terryfox.org | 1 888 836-9786
tanding on the 13th fairway at Chambers Bay on Friday, a guy turns to me and asks, “Why would you want to see Tiger? He’s almost in last place.” Well, I’ve only been watching the guy on TV since I was in Grade 2, for better or for worse. Yes, I was lucky enough to spend a day at the 115th U.S. Open, the most gruelling spectator experience I’ve taken in at probably the only golf course in the world I’d rather watch people play than play myself. But the experience was priceless. The unwatered greens, hard and ruthless to professional golfers having to endure elevation changes they may have never had to handle in their lives, under the heat so intense it made the course’s now infamously hard greens even tougher than most thought possible. I was there with my dad, Phil, uncles Pete and Jeff and my cousin, Alex. We’ve all grown up on golf. We held a celebration of life twice at the Nanaimo Golf Club, where Pete began his quest to eventually become a pro, and where I took my first lesson when in town staying with my grandmother, Dorothy, 15 years ago. We’re all at least six-foot-three, maxing out at six-seven. Being tall, however, doesn’t matter much when you’re trying to watch Tiger or Phil Mickelson, at the U.S. Open. Climb up the hill only to have a shoulder in your face and to look past the iPhones taking photos they weren’t allowed to, only to have people sneezing from the dried up fescue grass surrounding the air. But who cares? It was the U.S. Open, it will never come back to the Puget Sound, and it was an experience that will never be forgotten. Seeing Tiger, or Phil or Rory or Jordan or D.J. or Jordan in the flesh rather than on the flatscreen, was surreal. Mickelson looked at a crowd waiting to cross the fairway and No. 1 shouting nothing but “Phil!” and flashed a thumbs-up. People were so happy, it was as though he had handed them each $100. He three-putted in front of the grandstand on 18, but everyone cheered him away regardless. It wasn’t the roar that Bubba got when in the same group he knocked down a 15-footer for birdie, but the pure joy of seeing the guy in real life that was worth the $110 people paid for a gallery ticket at face value, or $250 in the secondary route. It was Chambers Bay, a public course better suited for the British Open than the American championship, and from bunker-to-bunker a once-in-lifetime experience that I will always remember. I’m just glad I wasn’t trying to play it.

Canada advances to quarter-final Women’s World Cup host team sends Switzerland packing with a shutout victory Sunday in Vancouver NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Josee Belanger scored early in the second half to send Canada into the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Sunday. The win was Canada’s first ever over a European side at the soccer showcase, ending an 0-9-1 run. And the Canadian women rose to the occasion after an uneven group stage, taking it to the 19th-ranked Swiss in the second half. The Canadian bench rushed the field as the final whistle blew to celebrate the win as the despondent Swiss gathered at their bench. The two teams then shook hands. “In the second half we played like the Canada I know,” said goalkeeper Erin McLeod. Eighth-ranked Canada plays either No. 6 England or No. 11 Norway in Saturday’s quarter-final back at B.C. Place Stadium. The two European teams face off Monday in Ottawa. It’s just the second time in six trips to the tournament that Canada has made it to the knockout rounds. The Canadians finished fourth in 2003. “We knew it was going to be tight against Switzerland. That’s a good team,” said Canada coach John Herdman. “Proud of my girls,” he added. Belanger, who played fullback in Canada’s first three games, was restored to forward with the return of Rhian Wilkinson to the starting lineup after a hamstring injury. And the two combined on the goal, with an assist from captain Christine Sinclair. After an even first 45 minutes,

Canada came out flying in the second half and Belanger put Canada ahead in the 52nd minute. Wilkinson sent in a cross that Sinclair got a boot to in the penalty box. The ball went straight to Belanger, who whipped a left-footed shot into the corner. Canada continued to go at the
Swiss and ’keeper Gaelle Thalmann was exposed several times trying to corral crosses. Captain Caroline Abbe was forced to make a goal-line clearance of a Belanger shot in the 68th, just after Sinclair just missed getting her head on a Melissa Tancredi cross. McLeod, as she has done all
tournament, made a key save in the 77th minute to deny Vanessa Bernauer from in close. The Swiss came forward in the dying minutes but could not breach down the Canadian defence. “Canada had the momentum and they scored the goal so congratulation to Canada,”
said Swiss coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, through an interpreter. The Canadian women arrived with a 3-0-1 all-time record against the 19th-ranked Swiss, winning 2-0 at the 2013 Cyprus Cup the last time they met. That meeting was played before just 50 fans. In contrast, Sunday’s game drew 53,855 to B.C. Place, a record for a Canadian national team home game. That record was set June 6 when 53,058 took in Canada’s tournament opener against China in Edmonton. Canada, which went 1-0-2 in the group stage, improved its alltime tournament record to 6-11-5. The Swiss go home having made it to the knockout rounds in their first visit to the tournament. It was an even contest in the first half, although there were dangers signs for Canada as the Swiss made inroads deep into the Canadian defence. Swiss forward Ramona Bachmann came as advertised, full of pace and knowing what to do with it. Fortunately Canada had centre back Kadeisha Buchanan, a teenage stopper who was called upon to clear up a few defensive messes not of her own making. Centre back partner Lauren Sesselmann had several giveaways. Canada pressed high early, making life difficult for the Swiss to get out of their own half. When they did, Buchanan took care of things, muscling Lara Dickenmann off the ball with ease in the seventh minute. Keeping their cool, the Swiss started making progress and should have gone up 1-0 in the 14th but Dickenmann botched a fine cross from Bachmann.

TORONTO — The Blue Jays expect to get an update on Aaron Sanchez on Monday when the team heads to Tampa, Fla., to start a three-game series with the Rays. Sanchez was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 6 with a strained right lat muscle. “We’ll check-in with him tomorrow,” said Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker. “See how he feels playing catch and throwing the ball and progress accordingly. “He will be throwing tomorrow and getting after it. We’ll have a good chance to talk to him after that session.” Sanchez (5-4) has not pitched since going eight innings in a 6-2 win over the Houston Astros on June 5. Walker hinted that Sanchez has not thrown with any kind of intensity since landing on the DL. Walker doesn’t expect the injury to be an issue when Sanchez re-joins the club. “This (injury) snuck up on him a little bit, and we’re being cautious,” said Walker. “He feels great right now.”

TORONTO — Rising star sprinter Andre De Grasse is one of 89 track and field athletes that will represent Canada at the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games. The 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., will run in the 100 metres and the 200 metres next month. De Grasse is having a breakout season. He broke the Canadian record in the 200, and became the first Canadian since Bruny Surin in 1999 to dip under the 10-second mark in the 100. He then blew away the field in at the NCAA championships in Eugene, Ore., in both the 100 and 200 metres. While his times of 9.75 and 19.58 were both wind-aided, being slightly over the allowable 2.0 metres-persecond tailwind, they rank as the fastest wind-aided times in the world this year. Eight athletes have set Canadian records in 2015 and are all being nominated to the Pan American Games team. Toronto’s Shawnacy Barber has set both indoor and outdoor Canadian records in the men’s pole vault this season en route to winning his third NCAA title Other recent Canadian record breakers nominated Sunday are: Vancouver’s Elizabeth Gleadle

Baseball’s new form of a DH stands for ‘designated hacker’
Vikings give a shot to Polish prospect
Front office staffs are filled with brilliant young people, each well educated
DAVE CAMPBELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gene Collier Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A
s Major League Baseball continues to fold itself into still another conspicuous conduit of information technology, hurrying the game along the dubious track from wondrous sport to monstrous math problem, certain precautions need now be taken. Unless, of course, you’re confident that the game that brought you the designated hitter can protect itself from the next logical menace, the designated hacker. The St. Louis Cardinals, an organization that has long since grown comfortable on the high ground of baseball royalty, were this week revealed to be the target of an FBI investigation into the matter of a data breach along some cyber fault line in the informational superstructure of the Houston Astros. It is hard to believe at this point in the legal process — legal because what the Cardinals are alleged to have done is a felony — that the front office in St. Louis is the only one of 30 across baseball with a designated hacker. “It goes against everything we stand for,” said Cardinals president William O. DeWitt III, casting the story as a solitary spasm of some “roguish” mid-level staffer(s). “We don’t know who did what here.” That, I can believe. “I still don’t know the reason,” DeWitt went on at that Thursday news conference. “I can’t come up with a reason for it.” That, I cannot believe. DeWitt cannot plead to being Clueless Joe Jackson on this, as it’s perfectly obvious that information and the ocean of analytics it generates have become the coin of the realm for baseball in the 21st century. Someone in the Cardinals ecosystem apparently decided that Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow, a former lieutenant in the St. Louis operation, had

unsecured digitized information that could either useful to the Cardinals, embarrassing the Luhnow, or, perhaps best of all, both. “It was like coming home and seeing your house has been broken into,” Luhnow told SI.com. “You feel violated when someone does that without permission. As far as whether it affected our ability to execute our plan? It’s difficult to assess . . .” But not terribly difficult to predict, right? Baseball’s front offices are crammed to the windows with brilliant young people, each more elaborately educated than the next, whose very professional existence depends on the procurement and analysis of information. The Pirates currently employ a senior director of information technology, a director of baseball systems development, a manager of I(nformation)T(echnology) operations, a quantitative analyst for baseball operations, and a data architect, baseball systems, among others in the overall data discipline. The Astros have a vice president for strategy and analytics, a senior technical architect, a mathematical modeler and, more
famously, a director of decisions sciences, the estimable Sig Mejdal. Mejdal, whom Houston also hired away from the Cardinals, presents a resume that unfolds officially like this, if only partially: During his time with St. Louis, Mejdal was involved with modeling, analysis and data-driven decision-making throughout all levels of the organization. He was a key contributor in the draft decision processes that led to the selection of more Major League players than any other organization in that time frame. Earlier in his career, Mejdal worked at Lockheed Martin in California and for NASA. He earned two engineering degrees at the University of California, Davis and later completed advanced degrees in Operations Research and Cognitive Psychology/?Human Factors at San Jose State University. Mejdal’s academic and professional accomplishments are to be praised, obviously, but he is not exceptional in the modern front office, where the only surprise is that brains so capacious might not be able to ensure a professional level of cyber security. Meanwhile, the Houston Chronicle, citing a source familiar with
the FBI investigation, reported Friday that the Cardinals’ incursion into Houston’s sensitive data occurred “not just one or two times.” The Astros, who had actual notes from last summer’s trade negotiations with several teams including the Pirates appear on Anonbin, a site where users sometimes share hacked data, have apparently been attacked all the way back to 2012. As it first happened during a tailspin in which Houston lost 324 games in three consecutive seasons, the breaches got shrugged off as typical franchise incompetence. But now it appears commissioner Rob Manfred can start rooting through his discipline protocols for the first real justice test of his fresh administration. He can suspend anyone up to the owner of a franchise, fine a franchise up to $2 million and potentially subtract benefits of the various rules, a.k.a. draft choices. But first he should take a look at ways to shepherd the data into systems that discourage the informational scientists from cannibalizing themselves and a game that somehow remains ever ripe for scandal. » Gene Collier is a columnist with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Jason Day unable to hang on at U.S. Open GREG LOGAN NEWSDAY
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — The sight of Jason Day struggling to make it to the end of the third round while battling the effects of vertigo Saturday at Chambers Bay was reminiscent of Ken Venturi’s battle to survive to the end of his victory at the 1964 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club. At that time, the USGA still played 36 holes on the final day. Suffering from dehydration in temperatures that reached 108 degrees, Venturi was advised by a physician to quit after the morning third round, but he kept putting one foot in front of the other that afternoon in what some described as a “near-death experience” until he won the trophy. Fortunately for Day, who was in the final group of a major for the first time in his life Sunday at Chambers Bay, he only had an 18-hole march over the humps and hillocks of a links-style course with exhausting elevation changes. His caddie, Colin Swatton, described Day’s third-round 68 as a “superhuman effort,” but the tough part figured to be repeating it. Day was walking gingerly when he approached the first tee, trying to hold his head still, and he clearly found it difficult to turn to acknowledge cheers from a supportive gallery. The final round of a U.S. Open always tests a player’s equilibrium, but that was especially true for Day for whom the uneven terrain presented a challenge. Even the stair steps he had to go up and down on player bridges from one hole to another at various points were like a hazard for him. After opening with three pars, Day’s round began to seesaw in a seven-hole stretch in which
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Babatunde Aiyegbusi has limited American football experience in leagues in Germany and his native Poland. Yet the 27-year-old offensive tackle is getting a shot at the NFL. He is the latest example of the obsessive search by NFL teams for unknown talent, a hunt unbounded by U.S. borders. Hulking at 6-foot-9 and 350 pounds, it’s a wonder how Aiyegbusi has ever been hidden. “I consider myself as a smart guy, so I feel like I can handle the playbook,” Aiyegbusi said, catching his breath after a recent practice. “But still, in Europe, my physique was good enough for beating everyone. And down here, you guys are big and strong. And they’ve got good technique. If he’s not stronger than you, he’s probably got better technique and knows what you will do before you do it, actually.” His name is pronounced bahBUH-toon-day ah-YEHG-boosehee. It’s Nigerian, the nationality of his father who moved to Poland and met Aiyegbusi’s mother. Aiyegbusi is married with a 3-year-old son, a family he eagerly returned to this weekend after three months away for workouts and practices with the Vikings. “The guy is truly a sponge. He absorbs all the information. Completely coachable,” Vikings offensive line coach Jeff Davidson said. “We are starting from ground zero, though, so I know as a coach I have to be patient. We’re just looking each day to find one thing that he’s going to improve on, because you can’t do them all at once.” Research by the Vikings turned up four other Polandborn players in modern NFL history. Three were kickers, including Sebastian Janikowski, the 15-year veteran of the Oakland Raiders. Defensive tackle Jason Maniecki, who spent three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1996-98, was the only position player. They all played high school and college football in the United States, though. Aiyegbusi played his first game at age 18. His team in the top Polish league, the Wroclaw Giants, won the championship in 2013. He played for Dresden in the German league last year. Texas Tech assistant coach Kevin Curtis has contacts overseas and alerted agent Jeff Griffin to a highlight video of Aiyegbusi, who’s ineligible for college ball because he’s been paid in Europe. Griffin had a hard time believing the film.
Baseball gets on shortlist for 2020 Olympics JIM ARMSTRONG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

he made four bogeys and two birdies to fall back to 2-under through 10 holes. Unfortunately for Day, he drifted further out of contention at the par 4 13th, where he missed the green, hit a chip that came back down a slope to his feet and wound up with a double-bogey that dropped him to even par for the tournament. Day ultimately shot a 4-over 74 to finish an even 280, five strokes behind the winner Jordan Spieth. Still, most would agree with Swatton, who urged Day on when he considered quitting in the third round by telling him he had “the heart of a lion.” Although he appeared to be
reeling at times coming down the stretch Saturday, Day made his move with five birdies on the back nine for a 4-under 31. “I said to him, ’They’re going to make a movie about that round,’” Swatton said. “It was pretty impressive. It was up there with Tiger Woods playing with a broken leg ?and winning the 2008? U.S. Open.” Woods had a stress fracture that obviously bothered him, but he didn’t have medics on alert the way Day did after collapsing on his final hole of the second round. Swatton explained, “The hardest part for him is the turning of the head every time and looking at the target. It takes a second
for his eyes to steady up a little bit. Bending over and marking the ball was difficult. We spoke about whether he wanted me to do that, and he gave me a look as if, ’Why did you even ask that?’ He played golf ... That was the greatest round I’ve ever watched.” The final round wasn’t as good for Day, but he made a valiant effort anyway. As fellow Australian Adam Scott said, “It’s a hell of an effort. I have no idea what he’s dealing with. “When you’re not feeling well at all playing in a U.S. Open, it isn’t a lot of fun. He’s a tough, tough kid. “He’s got a lot of heart, and he’s proving it again today.”
TOKYO — The combined bid of baseball and softball were among eight sports shortlisted Monday for inclusion in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Tokyo Olympic organizers selected the eight from a list of 26 sports that had applied for inclusion. The other sports shortlisted are bowling, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, surfing and the martial art of wushu. Baseball and women’s softball was considered a favourite because of the popularity of those sports in Japan. “This is a great day for our sport,” said Riccardo Fraccari, president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation. “Today baseball and softball — and the millions of athletes and fans who call it their sport — reached first base.” The federations of the eight sports will next make a presentation in Tokyo on Aug. 7-8, and organizers will make recommendations for inclusion to the International Olympic Committee by Sept. 30. The IOC will make a final decision on which sports will be added in August 2016, when it meets ahead of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Late run sees O’s beat Blue Jays 13-9 DHIREN MAHIBAN THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — J.J. Hardy’s second RBI single of the game kicked off a four-run ninth inning as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 13-9 on Sunday afternoon Ryan Flaherty followed up Hardy’s single with a two run triple, and later scored, as Baltimore improved to 5-7 against the Blue Jays this season. Reliever Darren O’Day (4-0) retired two hitters in the eighth for the win. Brett Cecil (1-4) picked up the loss as the Blue Jays (37-34) wrapped up a five-game home stand with a 3-2 record. Both starters had an afternoon to forget. Scott Copeland allowed six singles and a solo home run to Jimmy Parades as the Orioles (36-33) opened a 7-0 lead in the second inning. The Blue Jays right-hander, who was making his third career start, was done after just one and a third innings, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits. The Blue Jays responded in the bottom half of the inning. Ezequiel Carrera took Orioles’ starter Chris Tillman deep to right for a three-run shot to get Toronto on the board. Kevin Pillar followed up with a solo shot to pull the Jays to within three. After Ryan Goins singled, Jose Reyes reached with a double ending Tillman’s afternoon. Jose Bautista doubled off reliever Tommy Hunter, scoring a pair. Tillman, who entered the contest with a 0-3 record and a 12.51 ERA against Toronto this season, allowed six earned runs on six hits. Sunday marked the first game since September 2013 where both starters lasted less than 1 1/3 innings pitched. Toronto completed the comeback in the third as Russell Martin scored on an RBI single from Pillar, tying the game 7-7. Bautista gave the Jays their first lead of the game with a two-run home run in the fourth.

ast scored the club king when dummy followed low and returned another for the ace. A trump to the queen was ducked but South continued with the jack for the ace on which East showed out. West switched to the ten of diamonds but South won in hand and drew trump with a finesse of the nine. West was entitled to the ace of hearts but the contract was just home, N- S +420. Declarer could only pick up a 4-1 trump division when West held length and had played accordingly. This auction and the result would be duplicated at a large majority of the tables. 3NT might occasionally be reached with North as declarer when he opts to open 2NT. South will raise to the nine-trick game where East will begin with a fourth best club. Declarer wins the ten and goes after spades. West will top the jack with the ace to return a club. In this scenario, North will be unable to corral more than nine tricks since he will not have time to knock out the heart ace. A result of +400 is certain to saddle N-S with a matchpoint bottom. It is difficult to imagine how South could be at the helm in 3NT. West could potentially start with the eight of clubs which East must duck since he holds no entry. If he wins the king, ten tricks will roll home. Author: Dave Willis - visit his website at www.insidebridge.ca

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
Roster changed sparked Canadians Rhian Wilkinson put back into Canada’s starting lineup in win over Switzerland Sunday JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Rhian Wilkinson’s return to the starting lineup paid huge dividends for Canada at the Women’s World Cup. The veteran defender, who had played just nine minutes as a substitute prior to Sunday because of a hamstring injury, set up the game’s only goal while also helping secure her country’s third clean sheet of the tournament Sunday as Canada downed Switzerland 1-0 to advance to the quarter-finals. “She’s just a great Canadian,� head coach John Herdman said of Wilkinson. “You know she’s going to give you everything. There’s not much that’s going to run through her mind in a game other than tackle, pass, get the ball back. That’s what I thought she brought — a real energy.� Wilkinson slotting into her familiar right back position meant that Josee Belanger returned to her natural forward position after starting the three group games in defence. Wilkinson sent a looping cross into the Swiss box early in the second half that captain Christine Sinclair directed to Belanger, who cooly buried a left-footed effort to send the crowd of 53,855 at B.C. Place Stadium into a frenzy. “It’s been a frustrating road to recovery, but I really have to give credit to Josee,� said Wilkinson.
Canada’s Josee Belanger, right, and Rhian Wilkinson celebrate Belanger’s goal against Switzerland Sunday in Vancouver. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
“Anyone who has played a sport as a forward who has been thrown into the defensive line, it’s not an easy thing to do and it’s frightening. She played so well. “Me coming in is just a way to get (Belanger) closer to the net. As you see, you get that girl close to the net, she gets goals.� While Wilkinson might want to
deflect the credit sent her way, teammates have come to expect that type of service down the righthand side, which was a big part of Canada’s success in winning bronze at the 2012 Olympics. “That’s just something that Rhian brings to our team,� said Sinclair. “Her deliveries into the box are first-class.�
Apart from her play going forward, Wilkinson, a 33-year-old from Pointe-Claire, Que., was part of a defence that shut down Swiss strikers Ramona Bachmann and Lara Dickenmann and has surrendered just one goal through four games at the tournament. “I cannot give enough compliments to the backline,â€? said Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod. “Everyone in the backline has been phenomenal this whole tournament. (I’m) especially proud of Rhian Wilkinson ... she was phenomenal for us. “It makes my job a lot easier.â€? Herdman was pleased his players responded after a less-than-stellar first half against the Swiss and pointed to Wilkinson’s performance as one to build on as Canada awaits the winner of England-Norway in the quarters. “She came alive in the second half,â€? said the coach. “I think she knew what she had to do for her country, and she did it. We challenged the girls prior to this game that at some moments key players are going to have to step up and she did. “I was proud of her today.â€? Âť We want to hear from you.

Anniversary party is fine, just don’t expect a lot of expensive presents Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: Is it unorthodox to have a one-year anniversary party? A friend of mine was married last summer. By November, she had created a save-the-date on Facebook for a one-year anniversary party. “Leona” invited everyone who had been on the wedding list, whether they attended or not. So far, only a handful have responded. Leona has since sent out printed invitations with RSVP cards. The party has been described as a casual, potluck barbecue. To me, the whole affair is a bit unseemly. I understand wanting to have a party, but the context of it being an anniversary party to commemorate a couple that has
yet to get out of the honeymoon phase seems self-centered. There is little excitement about the event, and after a few conversations with friends, I get the sense that other people feel the same way. I’m not sure how to respond, and am a bit worried about how Leona will feel if few people show up to her gala. — Confused in California Dear Confused: Having an anniversary party, no matter which anniversary, is perfectly fine as long as guests are not expected to pay for it and bring expensive presents. Leona’s mistake was giving the impression that it is a second wedding celebration, but we don’t believe that was her intent. It sounds as though she had a great time at her own wedding and thinks her anniversary is a good excuse to recreate the fun. While we agree that the guest list is larger than propriety
endorses, please look at this as a party for friends, and base your reaction solely on that. It will help. Dear Annie: Last year, our 21-year-old son took a break from college and lived at home. I am amazed by the number of people who thought this was unacceptable and said they would never allow a child to take a year off of college. Here’s my perspective: High school graduation is like taking your 18-year-old to a large transportation hub where they have to pick a train that will take them to their next destination. Say that your young adult picks an express train. About halfway through the journey, he realizes he is on the wrong train, but there are no stops. He imagines that his choices are to stay on the train or jump off while it’s going full speed. You assure him that there is an emergency brake, but everyone
says the brake can’t be used, or if he does, he will have to wait a long time for a train headed in a different direction, and he’ll be left behind. We encouraged our son to pull the emergency brake and a year later, we find we have a happy, healthy young adult headed on the right train. I know that had our son stayed on that express train, he’d have ended up dead on the side of the track. We are happy that we provided him with a safety net. Now he has a bright future. —Mom Dear Mom: No child should be left without emotional backup, and you were smart not to listen to the critics. We support the idea of a gap year before students start college where they may be living away from home for the first time. Kids can use the year to work, travel or volunteer, but it allows them to mature and be more responsible for themselves.

stand the potential of this news. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s rendition of what has happened. YOUR BIRTHDAY (June 22) This year can be described as the opposite of boring; in fact, sometimes you might wish for a little dullness. You and others often might be miles apart in your thinking, but because of your mutual respect, solutions are able to be found. Refuse to say the word “impossible.” If you are single, from mid-August on, you could make new acquaintances. Within a changing social circle, you could meet someone who easily could light up your life. If you are attached, communication flourishes between you and your sweetie. Know that this reflects your positive attitudes and willingness to interact more. VIRGO is intrigued by your emotional responses.

Star Wars actor arrested after high-speed chase WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) — A former child actor who starred in one of the “Star Wars” movie sequels faces charges after leading South Carolina deputies on a high-speed chase. Colleton County Sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday arrested a 26-year-old man they confirmed through a former talent agent was Jake Lloyd, who played a young Anakin Skywalker in the 1999 movie “Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace,” Sgt. Kyle Strickland said Sunday. The man gave his name as Jake Broadbent, Strickland said. The man’s birthdate matched the actors’ listed by movie database IMDB.com and a hometown of Fort Collins, Colorado, where Lloyd was born. The man was charged with failing to stop for officers and reckless driving after hitting speeds over 100 miles an hour, Strickland said. Deputies in coastal Charleston County initially tried to stop the fleeing vehicle early Wednesday afternoon, but quit chasing after the man drove into neighbouring Colleton County, Sheriff’s Office Major Eric Watson said Sunday.
