Keeping cool a challenge as mercury rises
T
he heat is on. Temperatures of 30° C and even higher are expected in Nanaimo this weekend as a high pressure system fuels a heat wave over the Island, southern B.C. and other parts of Western Canada. It’s a glorious way for sun worshippers to kick off summer; but the flip side of clear, sunny skies and hot weather can also mean sunburn, heat stroke or other serious medical conditions. There is also increased risk of forest fires. While Nanaimo will be spared the extreme heat of the southern Interior, where the mercury is expected to reach the high 30s, Island records may be broken. An outright ban on campfires also goes into effect across most of the Island today. “It means no open fires,” said Marg Drysdale, a Coastal Fire Centre officer. It includes all public lands south of the Nimpkish Valley in the north Island. The fire danger ratings range from high north of Nanaimo to extreme in Cedar and areas

All three — Harewood Community Park, Deverill Square and Departure Bay — are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and city parks officials expect them to be busy. “All our beaches are open,” said Al Britton, city parks operations manager. If the mercury hits 33, it’s a record-breaker. The highest temperature recorded for this time of year was 32.1° C, set in 2006, according to Environment Canada.

FIRE SERVICES
RDN spends $52K on new review Regional district board wants independent consultant to look at services, especially in rural areas ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The Regional District of Nanaimo wants to ensure the delivery of its fire services is up to provincial standards. The RDN’s board voted this week to spend up to $52,000 to hire an independent consultant to review its fire services, particularly in the district’s rural areas. The move is in response to new mandatory provincial standards for B.C.’s firefighters that have
been outlined in the government’s recently released Structure Firefighters Competency and Training Playbook. The playbook requires minimum training standards for all firefighters to ensure their safety when attacking a fire from inside a building, dealing with hazardous materials or other dangerous tasks. Wendy Idema, the RDN’s director of finance, said the government’s new standards for firefighters calls for all the fire
departments in the RDN to provide set service levels and then commit to adhering to them. She said one issue that will have to be looked at is the firefighting training that is provided. Idema said the majority of firefighters in the RDN are volunteers who are trained as they go, but she said it can sometimes take up to two years of training for the volunteers to get to the required levels they
need because they do it on their own time. “The trick is to have enough qualified volunteers on hand to deal with fires and emergencies and one of the objectives of the report is to provide recommendations on how to achieve those levels of preparedness,” she said. Approximately $45,000 of the funding for the report will come from a provincial grant, and Idema said any costs related to the recommendations that will come
from the report will be dealt with as they go. “We are now in the process of looking for and hiring a consultant with rural fire service experience to work directly with fire departments,” she said. “We’re hoping the consultant will work through the summer and have the report tabled in November.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234
CITY LOG News and notes from around Nanaimo
Lifeguards make annual return to Westwood Spencer Anderson Reporting
L
ifeguards will resume working at Westwood Lake Park on a daily basis starting on Sunday. Nanaimo’s parks, recreation and environment department says the lifeguards will be on duty from noon to 6 p.m. each day until Sept. 7, holidays included. The city will also highlight water safety on July 19 with special activities aimed at educating the public. The event coincides with National Drowning Prevention Week. The city also offers swimming lessons at the man-made lake. Registration can be done at ireg.nanaimo.ca or by calling 250-756-5200.
City grant awarded Nanaimo council has approved a $13,826 heritage grant for restoration work to the exterior of the S&W Apartment Block in the Old City Quarter. The S&W building is situated at 403 Fitzwilliam St. and is home to an number of small business in the neighbourhood. There are apartments in the top floor and a handful of businesses occupy the street level. However, the building had great historic importance. Built in 1910, the structure is cited as the first ever apartment building by the city’s heritage register, which also credits the Edwardian building’s mix of apartments and commercial space as having “spurred the development of similar buildings in the area and signalled Nanaimo’s move towards more sophisticated, urban housing options.” The city’s heritage facade grant program uses small financial incentives to encourage owners to restore and enhance of heritage buildings in the downtown core. The program has seen $274,169 paid out in grants for 29 since the program’s inception in 2003. However, the city says that investment has leveraged more than $7 million in building improvements over that time. The budget for the program was $20,000 this year.

Volunteers worked with city parks staff to target plants like English ivy from ecologically sensitive areas in the parks, where species had been enveloping and choking trees. Residents also helped hack down and gathered Scotch broom, another highly prevalent invasive plant on Vancouver Island. Residents also dropped off about two tonnes of invasive
plants from their back yards to drop zones in Bowen Park. A total nine tonnes of invasive plants have been removed from city parks so far this year.

Confederate flag polarizing even in Canada
E
ven here in Canada, far away from the American deep south, the Confederate flag has been a controversial icon as recently as 2012 when a local restaurant owner painted one on his downtown location. Criticism was immediate and severe. Many called it racist and intolerant. The hapless restaurant owner claimed it was merely a symbol representing his southern-style food and independent nature. No one believed him. He eventually painted over the flag and not long after disappeared from the local landscape. The Confederate flag is back in the news after the killing of nine African Americans inside a South Carolina church by a racist misfit who used the flag to
The flag may be fading from the political and retail stage, but it remains a polarizing force that probably won’t disappear entirely for the foreseeable future. decorate his white supremacist diatribes. In the aftermath U.S. governors in Alabama and South Carolina have ordered the flag removed from state legislatures. As significantly, major U.S. retailers including Amazon, eBay and Walmart have said they will no longer sell Confederate flag merchandise.
And NASCAR is restating its position that it cannot appear in any official capacity, even though the flags are as common as beer and cowboy boots at NASCAR events. Also significant, as soon as headlines began to circulate around the world about the flag’s fall from grace, prices skyrocketed and sales soared. News crews trying to film the flags and swag at southern stores were sworn at and threatened. The flag may be fading from the political and retail stage, but it remains a polarizing force that probably won’t disappear entirely for the foreseeable future. That’s too bad, because it is indeed a racist icon that deserves to be consigned to the history books.
How powerful is its appeal? Back in 2012, southern rock music mainstays Lynyrd Skynyrd announced they would stop using the flag because of what it represents. There was enough outrage among its fan base that the band did an about-face. Even today critics of the flag’s sinking status say it’s a monument to southern heritage and independence. No doubt it was 150 years ago. It was the battle flag for a Confederacy that fought against its northern brothers for a host of reasons — including being allowed to continue to own slaves. But the flag’s meaning went much deeper than that. It’s what has happened since that makes the flag so polarizing. Racists of all kinds — Ku Klux
Klan adherents among them — adopted it as their official emblem. If it ever had redeeming qualities and meaning, they have been co-opted by individuals and groups who use the stars and bars as a weapon of hatred. Hitler’s swastika didn’t start out as an icon of evil. Its name translated means good fortune or well-being and it was first used in ancient Eurasia. The Nazis co-opted and spoiled that heritage, just as racists did with the Confederate flag. Good riddance.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Time for mayor to show leadership on council Re: ‘Council needs to come together to do job’ (Our View, Daily News, June 26) I think your editorial really missed the mark. It focused on councillors not showing up for the council meeting and not being able to work together. It does not mention that council sat for nine hours on Monday night in effort to deal with important issues, including the Colliery dam issue. As well, nothing was mentioned about a mayor that doesn’t represent the majority of his council, a mayor who will not only state publicly, once the vote is made, that he disagrees with it, but actively works against it (trip to Victoria with city staff to tell the minister he disagrees with the majority of council and more recently a press conference). How can the majority of council be respected in their decisions if they have a mayor who will not
support them? How are the majority of council able to perform their democratic duty to represent the citizens if they are disregarded? I commend the majority of councillors for not allowing the meeting to go ahead. It is time for our mayor to lead as he was elected to do, not as he so desires. I would like to see our council business done as it was meant to be done and the majority of council not having to resort to this kind of action because their mayor will not support them. That to me is the core of it. Roblyn Hunter Nanaimo

Military procurement looks like just more talk Back in October 2011, B.C. shipbuilders were chosen for an $8-billion federal contract to design and construct Canadian Navy and Coast Guard vessels, while Nova Scotia shipyards got a contract more than three times that size to build more naval vessels. The premiers concerned were ecstatic when the announcements were made; B.C.’s Christy Clark donned her hard hat and headed to yet another photo-op, declaring how hard her government had worked to get this lucrative contract bringing thousands of new jobs, and entice skilled workers to return home from Alberta’s oil-patch. Nova Scotia’s Darrell Dexter said it was like winning the Olympics every day for the next 30 years. Almost four years later with very little visible progress, federal government documents have now come to light stating the naval shipbuilding programme is in jeopardy; doubts are being cast if the two supply vessels will ever be
built in Vancouver due to unavailability of appropriate facilities, expertise and a qualified labour force; apparently there are risks with the design and production plans that would make the vessels unaffordable. Looks like yet another military procurement that has proven to be more talk and less action where Ottawa is concerned, and maybe another nail in the Harper Government’s coffin. Yet the Conservative Party touts itself as the only one to trust in the upcoming election, because of its experience and expertise in running the country for the past decade?

SPCA: Consider adopting adult cats around province
Woodlot 1475 info now made available
JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
Though it is “kitten season,” those thinking of adopting a new member of the family should consider an adult cat, according to the BC SPCA. With higher-than-usual numbers of adult cats in shelters across the province, the SPCA is offering cats at half-price in every location in B.C., including Nanaimo, this weekend to encourage their adoption. “It’s not like it’s a sale of cats,” said Nanaimo SPCA branch manager Leon Davis. “They still have to go to approved matched homes and we still follow all of our adoption processes. We just try and see if anyone who was thinking about maybe getting an adult cat, it might help them make that decision.” They currently have approximately 30 adult cats in need of a home and 40 kittens in foster care that are currently too young to be adopted out, said Davis. Typically in May through

Nanaimo SCPA branch manager Leon Davis, back, says there are plenty of cats in Nanaimo looking for good homes. [DAILY NEWS]
July there are many kittens being born, which makes them popular, and with families going away on holidays adoptions in general fall off somewhat. Though the Nanaimo branch are managing with the numbers they have, which is about five more cats than usual, overpopulation can lead to stress and potential disease outbreak in the animals. “It’s such a funny thing, depending on the size of the shelter,” said Davis. “With Nanaimo, just to
have an extra five adoptions over two days would be huge for us. “To just go from 25 cats to 20 opens up a lot of space for the cats that are in the shelter.” To adopt an adult cat this weekend, visit your local BC SPCA branch during business hours or visit www.spca.bc.ca to search for adoptable adult felines.

TERRORISM
Militants strike on three continents Attacks in Tunisia, France, Kuwait kill as many as 60; most dead in Tunisia area popular with foreigners HENRY CHU AND LAURA KING LOS ANGELES TIMES
CAIRO —Armed militants struck within hours of each other on three continents Friday, wielding bombs, firearms and a gruesome display of a decapitated head in a demonstration of the growing global reach of Islamist violence. The militant group Islamic State claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing of a Shiite mosque in Kuwait, and there were signs that attacks on a gas factory in France and a seaside resort in Tunisia may have been at least inspired by the extremist organization, now controlling large parts of Iraq and Syria, which has sought to expand its influence well beyond the Middle East. As many as 60 people were killed in the attacks, more than half of them by a gunman who went on a rampage outside a hotel popular with foreign holidaymakers on the sunny Tunisian coast. Up to two dozen people died in the bombing of the mosque, and one man was beheaded in France. The violence marred the holy month of Ramadan, which began last week. An Islamic State leader this week had called on acolytes to use Ramadan, traditionally a time of spiritual reflection and acts of kindness, as an opportunity instead to bring “calamity for the infidels.” “Be keen to conquer in this holy month and to become exposed to martyrdom,” Abu Mohammad Adnani, a spokesman for the Sunni militant group, said in an audio message

“Part of the brutality of Islamic State’s activities in Iraq and Syria (is) designed to get that kind of media attention. That’s one of its tactics. It’s very hard to combat.” Alan Fraser, Middle East expert
released Tuesday. He urged followers to mount attacks in Libya, Syria and Iraq against Westerners, Shiite Muslims and any Sunni Muslims who opposed Islamic State. He also warned President Barack Obama of retaliation for the
air raids that U.S. forces have helped carry out against the militants. The nearly half-hour audio message was a fresh example of Islamic State’s sophistication in disseminating its extreme worldview through online and social media, tools that allow the group to project its gospel of violence far outside the territory it rules with an iron fist. Islamic State “has definitely proved itself a lot more capable than major groups in the past at spreading that propaganda, whether it be blogging, the Internet,” said Alan Fraser, a Middle East expert at the London-based risk consultancy AKE. “And part of the brutality of Islamic State’s activities in Iraq and Syria (is)
designed to get that kind of media attention. “That’s one of its tactics. It’s very hard to combat.” Savagery akin to that seen in the group’s slickly, and sickly, produced videos of mass executions and beheadings was evident in the attacks Friday, which struck places of work, worship and relaxation in Europe, Asia and Africa, respectively. The severed head of a previously killed man was hung from a fence near the U.S.-owned gas factory in southeastern France that attackers tried to blow up by ramming a car into the plant about 9:30 a.m. Friday. Flags with Arabic inscriptions lay close by, French media reported. French President Francois
Hollande said a message had been written on the decapitated body. He added that there was no doubt it was a terrorist attack, and French anti-terrorism prosecutors have opened an investigation. Two other people were injured in the explosion at the Air Products factory in the small town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, outside the city of Lyon, Hollande said. A suspect was quickly arrested after the incident and, though prosecutors said he refused to talk, was identified as 35-yearold delivery truck driver Yassin Sahli, who was known to workers at the plant. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that French intelligence services had designated Sahli in 2006 as a potential extremist but stopped monitoring him two years later for undisclosed reasons. Before being detained for questioning, a woman who said she was Sahli’s wife told Europe 1 radio that she had been married to her husband for a decade and that they and their three children were “normal Muslims” who led “a normal family life.” “I don’t know what’s going on. It’s not possible,” she said in an increasingly distraught voice, describing her husband as “very, very calm.” French media reported that the beheaded man was Sahli’s employer, the boss of a local transport company. The gruesome violence in France came less than six months after the Jan. 7 rampage in Paris at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine targeted because of its cartoons of the prophet Muhammad, and a Jewish supermarket.

Same-sex marriage legal across U.S., says court
Mountie charged with stealing rifle, shotgun
Barack Obama calls it ‘justice that arrives like a thunderbolt’ Justice Antonin Scalia said he was not concerned so much about same-sex marriage as “this court’s threat to American democracy.” He termed the decision a “judicial putsch.” Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas also dissented. Several religious organizations criticized the decision. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said it was “profoundly immoral and unjust for the government to declare that two people of the same sex can constitute a marriage.” Kennedy said nothing in the court’s ruling would force religions to condone, much less perform, weddings to which they object. And he said the couples seeking the right to marry should not have to wait for the political branches of government to act. “The dynamic of our constitutional system is that individuals need not await legislative action before asserting a fundamental right. The nation’s courts are open to injured individuals who come to them to vindicate their own direct, personal stake in our basic charter,” Kennedy wrote in his fourth major opinion in support of gay rights since 1996. It came on the anniversary of two of those earlier decisions. “No union is more profound than marriage,” Kennedy wrote, joined by the court’s four more liberal justices.
MARK SHERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Same-sex couples won the right to marry nationwide Friday as a divided Supreme Court handed a crowning victory to the gay rights movement, setting off a jubilant cascade of long-delayed weddings in states where they had been forbidden. “No longer may this liberty be denied,” said Justice Anthony Kennedy. The vote was narrow — 5-4 — but Kennedy’s majority opinion was clear and firm: “The court now holds that same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry.” The ruling will put an end to same-sex marriage bans in the 14 states that still maintain them, and provide an exclamation point for breathtaking changes in the nation’s social norms in recent years. As recently as last October, just over one-third of the states permitted gay marriages. Kennedy’s reading of the ruling elicited tears in the courtroom, euphoria outside and the immediate issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples in at least eight states. In Dallas, Kenneth Denson said he and Gabriel Mendez had been legally married in 2013 in California but “we’re Texans; we want to get married in Texas.” In praise of the decision,
KENNEDY
President Barack Obama called it “justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.” Four of the court’s justices weren’t cheering. The dissenters accused their colleagues of usurping power that belongs to the states and to voters, and short-circuiting a national debate about same-sex marriage. “This court is not a legislature. Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in dissent. Roberts read a summary of his dissent from the bench, the first time he has done so in nearly 10 years as chief justice. “If you are among the many Americans — of whatever sexual orientation — who favour expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision,” Roberts said. “But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.”

Tories push to pass anti-union bill in Senate JORDAN PRESS AND JOAN BRYDEN THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Senate is wrapping up a reputation-shredding parliamentary session on yet another controversial note —with Conservatives using their majority to overrule their own Speaker and force a final vote on a widely denounced anti-union bill. The machinations Friday left even some senators acknowledging that the upper chamber seems to have a death wish. “Every time we break our own rules in order to achieve the wishes of the government of the day, every time we rubber-stamp a bad bill . . . it feeds directly into the hands of people who criticize the Senate and say that we don’t need a Senate,” said James Cowan, the Liberal Senate leader. Hugh Segal, a former Conservative senator who led a Senate rebellion against the bill two years ago, said Friday’s “deeply disappointing” move undermines the argument that a second parliamentary chamber is necessary to provide sober second thought to legislation. The latest furor revolves around Bill C-377, a private member’s bill sponsored by Conservative backbencher Russ Hiebert and strongly backed by the Prime Minister’s Office. The bill would require labour unions to publicly disclose details of their spending, including salaries and how much they spend on political activities. Its detractors include police associations, the privacy commissioner, the Canadian Bar Association and seven provinces who consider it an unconstitutional intrusion into their jurisdiction. The bill will be put to a final vote next week.

Trial alleging Furlong defamation wraps up Ex-2010 Olympic CEO says he had right to defend himself LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Former Vancouver Olympics CEO John Furlong defamed journalist Laura Robinson when he publicly portrayed her as heartless, cruel and callous, her lawyer told a B.C. Supreme Court civil trial. But Furlong’s lawyer replied that he had the right to respond to the woman’s “attacks.” Closing arguments began Friday at the trial where Robinson claims that Furlong damaged her reputation in public comments after she wrote an article that alleged he physically and verbally abused First Nations children about 45 years ago. Robinson’s lawyer, Bryan Baynham, said that Furlong’s comments showed a “reckless disregard for truth.” “Mr. Furlong’s entire public-relations campaign was undertaken with the dominant purpose of discrediting Ms. Robinson to address the fact that almost all of what Ms. Robinson reported was true,” he said. But Furlong’s lawyer John Hunter told the court the article was false and incendiary. He said his client is protected under the defence of qualified privilege — meaning he had a right to respond to public assaults on his character. “These are lies. It absolutely didn’t happen,” Hunter said.
FURLONG
“What this case is really about is whether or not when a journalist publishes an article that I say is irresponsible, and is in fundamental ways entirely false, whether the target is entitled to defend himself.” Robinson’s freelance article published in September 2012 in the Georgia Straight newspaper included affidavits from eight former students who alleged Furlong beat and taunted them while he was a physical education teacher at a Catholic school in northern British Columbia. Baynham said that Robinson carefully investigated the story after noticing discrepancies in Furlong’s memoir “Patriot Hearts,” which omitted his past work in Burns Lake, B.C., in 1969 and 1970. She sought comment from Furlong four times through his lawyer, who refused to answer
specific questions and instead issued a blanket denial and threatened to sue, Baynham told the court. Robinson’s lawsuit alleges Furlong defamed her in several public statements after the article was published. She claims he portrayed her as an activist, rather than a professional journalist, who was motivated by contempt for male authority figures. At a news conference the same day the story came out, Furlong said someone had contacted him before the 2010 Winter Games and told him that “for a payment” the story could be made to go away. Baynham said Furlong implied — intentionally or not — that Robinson was linked to an alleged extortion attempt and this was the “most serious” of his defamatory statements. Furlong has denied suggesting that Robinson was involved in the alleged extortion effort, but Baynham accused him of having “no interest in setting the record straight.” The lawyer also said Furlong’s allegation in a 2013 news release that Robinson had brought a sex abuse complaint to the RCMP on behalf of one of her sources was “absolutely not true.” Baynham told the court that qualified privilege does not apply because Furlong was motivated by malice.

Crown asks top court to restore murder finding
Veteran who shot his wife handed life sentence
The Crown says it will ask Canada’s top court to restore the first-degree murder conviction against a man found guilty of stabbing and shooting a Vancouver man during a botched robbery over an engagement ring. In February 2013, Michael Newman was convicted of the first-degree murder of Mark Rozen who nine years earlier advertised a diamond engagement ring in a newspaper. Newman appealed and on May 28, B.C.’s highest court substituted the second-degree murder conviction. The province’s Criminal Justice Branch says it has the right to appeal because one judge on the panel dissented.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled that a Saanich veteran will be eligible for parole in 10 years for killing his 77-year-old wife. Joseph DesRoches pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last week for the shooting death of his wife, Rosa, last year. The court heard DesRoches was “eerily calm” after he shot his son’s dog with a pistol he kept in the house, then walked upstairs and shot his wife as she lay in bed. Lawyers at the trial referenced the man’s history of serving his country with the military, his previously clean record, and the fact that his children have forgiven him.

Speed a factor in crash that killed two, say cops
Man, 31, to face child sex-assault charges
Two people have been killed in a single-vehicle crash on Highway 16 near Valemount. Police were called early Friday to a report of a serious vehicle rollover on the highway east of Tete Jaune Junction, about 40 kilometres west of the Alberta boundary. Officers say when they arrived at the crash site they found a 28-year-old man and 29-year-old woman both dead. The highway was closed for seven hours while police investigated the scene. Police say excessive speed is believed to be a major factor, although the cause of the crash is still under investigation. Both victims are from British Columbia.
Mounties in northeastern British Columbia say a 31-year-old man is facing several charges arising from a child sexual-assault investigation. RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman says Kevin Belcourt has been charged with one count each of sexual assault, sexual interference and luring through telecommunications. He says Belcourt has also been charged with two counts of administering a drug, and police anticipate additional charges. He says police are seeking additional information because other victims may not have yet been identified. Tyreman says Belcourt resides in both Dawson Creek and Prince George.

Convict in notorious escape shot, killed; other on the run THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MALONE, N.Y. — One of two convicted murderers who staged a brazen escape from an upstate maximum-security prison three weeks ago was shot and killed Friday in a gunbattle with law enforcement officers in a wooded area about 30 miles from the prison, and the other is on the run. Sen. Charles Schumer, who was briefed by the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Marshals Service, said Richard Matt was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent. Officers are trucking in floodlights to where David Sweat is believed to be hiding, not far from where Matt was killed. Schumer said searchers closed in on the pair after receiving a call from a woman who heard someone knock on her door early Friday in Malone, which is about 50 kilometres west of the Clinton Correctional Facility. “She didn’t answer the door, but she called the police,” he said. “They brought the dogs, and they got a scent. They followed that scent and put out a lot of troops around the cabin. They came upon him and found him and killed him.” Schumer said at least one of the prisoners was armed. The pair escaped early June 6 from the prison in Dannemora, near the Canadian border.
Police have blocked off roads in the area as officers hunt for Sweat. State Police Maj. Charles Guess said earlier Friday that the search area had shifted slightly northwest to Malone after investigators found evidence left behind by the escapees. Items were found Thursday at a cabin and Friday morning in a field, both in Malone, he said. Matt and Sweat used power tools to saw through a steel cell wall and several steel steam pipes, bashed a hole through a brick wall, squirmed through pipes and emerged from a manhole outside the prison. Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole in the killing of a sheriff’s deputy in Broome County in 2002. Matt was serving 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss. They were added to the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted fugitives list two weeks after getting away. The search for the escaped killers was initially concentrated around the prison and a rural community where search dogs had caught the scent of both men. The search had since been expanded to neighbouring counties, and, while authorities said there was no evidence the men had gotten out of the general area, they conceded they could have been almost anywhere.
OTTAWA — Canada’s former chief electoral officer applauded the abrupt end of a controversial Conservative political action committee Friday and called on similar third-party groups to shut their doors as well. Jean-Pierre Kingsley said he was “very happy” to learn the group known as HarperPAC had shut down, and said he believes others — including the left-leaning Engage Canada — ought to follow. The website for HarperPAC, the brainchild of several longtime Conservative supporters, disappeared late Thursday after a party spokesman publicly criticized the group — particularly its choice of name. “I think they should all shut down,” Kingsley said. “Don’t set up shop, wait for the writ to be dropped and then register as a third party as you’re supposed to. And follow the rules.”
Kingsley said he is particularly concerned that third-party political organizations are cropping up to take advantage of a lack of regulation in the months before this fall’s Oct. 19 vote — a consequence of a fixed election date. He has expressed fear that Canada has been going down a path similar to the U.S., where so-called political action committees raise and spend huge sums of money to influence political outcomes. “We have no idea who they are, we have no idea who is contributing, we have no idea how much they are contributing,” Kingsley said. “Return the contributions and let us have an election in accordance with the law.” HarperPAC has promised to return donations to contributors. Engage Canada did not respond to a request for an interview on Friday but it issued a statement instead. “Engage Canada is operating with the current legislative framework,” spokesperson Jessica Hume said in an email.

U.S. delegation arrives in Cuba to discuss warming relations
Greece, creditors continue to work on avoiding bankruptcy
Top level push as deadline nears SpaceX capsule to deliver for talks on Iran nuke program new supplies for space station
A bipartisan delegation of U.S. senators was in Cuba on Friday to meet with top government officials and others to discuss rapprochement between the two countries. The United States and Cuba announced on Dec. 17 they would move to restore diplomatic ties that were severed more than 50 years ago, but talks on reopening embassies have yet to yield an agreement six months later. Asked when that might happen, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy said, “the sooner the better.”
Greece and its rescue creditors edged closer to a deal on loans needed to avoid a potentially disastrous bankruptcy, but angry objections in Athens to some demands kept the talks on edge ahead of a key meeting this weekend. The government on Friday agreed to key reforms that are close to what creditors have demanded before they release new loans, officials said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. The creditors in return offered Greece a five-month extension to its bailout program.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Vienna Friday to launch a toplevel push to meet next week’s deadline for talks on Iran’s nuclear program, which aim to curb Teheran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanction relief. But a senior Iranian official warned that negotiations are hampered by differences not only between Tehran and the six other countries it is bargaining with but internally among the six as well. Negotiations could spill over into early July, despite the extra diplomatic muscle packed by the senior diplomats.

DENTURIST
Q: A:
I am getting implants on a lower denture and my dentist said I could get fixed or removable. What is the difference between the two types? A removable denture over implants snaps into place and can be detached for cleaning by a patient, while a fixed denture is screwed into place and can only be removed by a dentist. When deciding between the two many factors need to be considered such as the quality of your bone, your personal budget and your level of dental hygiene. Removable dentures over implants provide a cheaper option for patients who might not otherwise be Darren Hoffman able to afford implanted dentures, requiring only 2 implants and gives a more secure fit. For individuals where there has been significant bone loss the removable implanted denture can be designed to compensate for lost tissue, filling out the face and improving aesthetics. However, a fixed denture over implants provides the securest fit and can actually help preserve your existing bone and ridge, but it requires 4 to 5 implants and is therefore more costly. Since fixed dentures can only be removed by your dentist, you must thoroughly clean around the implants and see a dental hygienist regularly to avoid infection which could cause the implants to fail. Whether you choose fixed or removable, dental implants have been a great development for many edentulous patients, providing greater retention, better function and increased self-confidence.

If you’re able to open the cushion up by way of a zipper or Velcro we can put foam in (which you’ll have to keep dry) or we have special reticulated foam (very similar to those green scrubbies we use in the kitchen) that keeps its shape well and allows water to flow through it.

Is it necessary to claim all personal assets during bankruptcy? I have some heirloom jewellery which belongs to my family. Could this be transferred to my daughter? All assets to which an individual may have an interest must be disclosed to the trustee in a bankruptcy. This even includes assets which may be exempt from seizure under the Court Order Enforcement Act, such as household goods, Gareth F. Slocombe tools of the trade etc. C.A., C.I.R.P. With respect to jewellery, this type of asset is not Trustee exempt in a bankruptcy and must therefore be realized on by the trustee. In most cases the trustee would likely be willing to accept payments from the bankrupt, or possibly a family member, for the estimated value of the jewellery instead of being required to actually sell the items. A pawn shop or liquidation estimate of the jewellery can normally be used to determine a realizable value. A transfer of the jewellery to a family member, for purposes of keeping it out of the bankruptcy, could be reversed by the trustee and may also delay or prevent the bankrupt from receiving an absolute order of discharge from bankruptcy.

I plan on adding one of my children to my bank account. I am aware it means that any money left in that account will become theirs when I die. I am doing that because I have been told that my account will be frozen and they will have to pay Tiah Workman all my estate costs out of their own Notary Public pocket and I don’t want them to have to do that. Is that not the case? Although your account may be “frozen”, the bank will still allow the representative of your estate to present bills to the bank for payment and the bank will issue bank drafts to your representative to allow them to pay those bills or the bank may if fact pay those bills directly.

paper it’s written on? If it’s done correctly, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or the Free Home Evaluation can be the next best thing to a an appraisal in approximating the value of a property. The purpose of the CMA is to analyze Tim Wait data from properties similar to the subject property Realtor that has been sold recently in order to project the realistic price at which the subject property would sell. I’m not an appraiser, but what I’ve always done is make upward and downward adjustments to the projected value of the subject property based on features and characteristics of the comparables I use. Some are based on “gut” feelings while other adjustments come about through rules of thumb I have developed from experience. Putting a value on real estate is an inexact science at best, and this methodology has worked pretty well for me over the years. I use a completely different method for projecting the value of land and property with residential development potential. Call me at 713-1223 or email tim@timwait.com and I will let you know.

What should I know about mortgage payments and interest rates? The impact of increasing mortgage payments Accelerating the repayment of debt is an important goal of many Canadians. One way to achieve this goal is to increase the size of your mortgage
payment. Increasing the amount of your payment will automatically reduce your principal balance, which in turn, decreases the amount you’ll have to pay in interest. The end result, you become mortgage free sooner. The impact changing interest rates have on mortgage Bettina Plendl payments Consultant When determining how much house you can afford people often look at how much they have available for a down payment and what their mortgage payments will be. But it’s also important to take into account whether or not you can afford your mortgage payments if rates were to increase when it comes time to renew. If a rate increase at time of renewal will impact your ability to stay in your home, consider making a larger down payment or buying a home with a lesser purchase price.

My family is planning on doing a bit of travelling this summer. Do you have any recommendations about medications while on vacation? First of all, don’t leave your medications at home! Before your trip, it is good to make a list of your current medications and how you are taking them. Ask your pharmacist for a medication review. Your pharmacist can review your medications and produce a document with information for you to take on your trip. Also compile a list of your doctor’s and pharmacist’s phone number as well as any health insurance information. Keep your medications in their original pharmacy labelled bottles, particularly if you are travelling to David Duncan another country. Don’t put your medications in checked luggage. B.SC. (Pharm) Keep them with you and bring enough to last the whole trip. You R.P.E.B.C. should pack essential medications in two different pieces of hand luggage, just in case one becomes lost or stolen. If you are visiting Pharmacist/ Manager another country see if you need special protection against disease in the country you are visiting. If you are flying are you crossing more than two time zones which might affect when you would take your insulin and the amount of insulin you would inject? Do any of your medications make you more sensitive to sunlight? Also, make sure your medications are stored away from direct sunlight or high heat. It is also a good idea to put together a travel first aid kit. Products you may consider including are pain killers, antihistamines, medications for motion sickness and nausea, medications for diarrhea, antibacterial cream for cuts, insect bites and burns, and anti-infective ear drops for a bacterial infection in the ear (swimmer’s ear) and a good sunscreen. Talk to your pharmacist as they can also help you gather dressings for wound care or other minor ailments. Lastly, have a safe journey and lots of fun!

Grateful Dead’s final concerts set No two shows were the same — not just the performances but the setlists were made up on the spot DAVE CLARK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
L
et the countdown begin: The Grateful Dead’s final five shows have arrived. With two shows Saturday and Sunday in Santa Clara, Calif, and another three at Chicago’s Soldier Field on July 3-5, the five shows cap roughly 2,300 concerts over 30 years. Pioneers of psychedelic music in the 1960s, the Dead brought jazz-style improvisation to rock music. No two Dead shows were the same — not just the performances but the setlists were made up on the spot. Each show had a seat-of-thepants quality that meant things could go wrong, but also that great heights could be reached. The band’s run came to an end with the death of lead guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995. This summer, the four surviving members of the band — guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh and drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann — are performing. Here is a look back at five shows that capture the band at key moments along their long and, yes, strange trip. • FEB. 14, 1969 CAROUSEL BALLROOM, SAN FRANCISCO Garcia, the lead guitarist with the bushy black (later grey) beard and impish smile, was probably the best-known member of the Grateful Dead. But he was not its leader; that was a role he never wanted. If the band did have a leader in its early days, it was keyboard player Ron McKernan. Affectionately nicknamed Pigpen for his unkempt look, McKernan also played harmonica and was more comfortable singing lead at first than Garcia or Weir. Pigpen both did and didn’t fit with the Dead. He didn’t share the musical adventurism of his bandmates, and he preferred alcohol to LSD. But the blues and R&B tunes he sang served as an anchor to keep the band’s more experimental work from spiraling out of the stratosphere. Pigpen’s drinking eventually caught up to him, and he died in 1973 at age 27. • APRIL 8, 1972 WEMBLEY EMPIRE POOL, LONDON The Europe ’72 tour — 22 shows in April and May — is considered by many fans to the Dead’s best. The band was still playing the exploratory jams they became famous for in the 1960s, like the 30-minute version of “Dark Star” that highlighted this show, the second of the tour. But a songwriting partnership of Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter that was just beginning in the late ’60s had matured. Hunter’s lyrics pulled from a wide variety of sources, from blues standards to nursery rhymes. He took an old folk tune

based on a real-life train wreck and turned it into “Casey Jones.” And he wrote the instantly iconic line in “Truckin,”’ the band’s 1970 chronicle of life on the road, “What a long strange trip it’s been.” “His lyrics worked on a much more elevated level than your typical love ballad or rock anthem — they belonged to literature.” Kreutzmann wrote in his 2015 autobiography “Deal” — which borrows its title from a Hunter-Garcia song. • MAY 8, 1977 CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHACA, NEW YORK Spring 1977 was another peak for the Dead, and many fans consider this show to be the best they ever played. In the mid-1980s, tapes of the Cornell show became highly sought after in the Deadhead taping community. The band for years had turned a blind eye to fans making bootleg tapes of their concerts. In 1984, they began to actively encourage it, setting aside a section for tapers at their shows. David Letterman asked Garcia during a 1982 interview about the philosophy behind giving the music away. “When we’re done with it, they can have it,” Garcia said. • OCT. 16, 1989 EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY It was a rejuvenated Grateful Dead
that took the stage at the Brendan Byrne Arena on this night — Weir’s 42nd birthday. By the early 1980s, Garcia had become addicted to heroin and had put on weight. His bandmates, setting aside their strong inclination toward personal freedom, staged several interventions. They felt the music was suffering, and many fans agreed. Garcia cleaned up in the mid ’80s, but he slipped into a diabetic coma in 1986 and nearly died. Once he recovered, the band recorded their first studio album in seven years. And “Touch of Grey” — a song they’d been playing in concert for five years — became an unexpected hit single in 1987. It was the band’s only Top 40 song. The Dead were riding high for the rest of the decade. Brent Mydland had joined on keyboards in 1979 and added energy to a band of aging hippies. But he died of a drug overdose in July 1990. The band quickly found a replacement in Vince Welnick, but the pressure of touring, the burden of increased fame and Garcia’s return to heroin use conspired to make the band’s last five years on the road largely forgettable. • JULY 9, 1995 SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO You’d be hard pressed to find a Deadhead who thinks that this — the band’s
final concert before Garcia’s death — was a good one. Things had gone sour in the band’s world. Several gate-crashing incidents marred their summer tour, and some venues and cities were refusing to host the Dead. Things weren’t much better on stage. Garcia was using again. He would forget not just lyrics but even what song he was playing. Kreutzmann claims that Garcia occasionally nodded off during concerts. “I’d hit my crash cymbals as hard as I could, just to wake him up,” the drummer wrote in his autobiography. The band members have since admitted that by this point, they had stopped listening to each other while they were playing. The Dead was scheduled to have a few months off after this show, and Garcia sought help. After a short stay at the Betty Ford Clinic, he checked himself into Serenity Knolls, a substance-abuse clinic in northern California, where he died of a heart attack on Aug. 9, 1995, at age 53. A few months later, the surviving band members decided to retire the name Grateful Dead. The long strange trip was over. Weir, Lesh, Hart and Kreutzmann have toured periodically in various formations in the 20 years since Garcia’s death. They have billed these five concerts in 2015 as the last they will perform together.

‘Quadrophenia’ saved The Who: Townshend JOHN CARUCCI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — On a rare day off from the first leg of The Who’s 50th anniversary tour, Pete Townshend punctually enters the room with longtime partner Rachel Fuller to discuss Classic Quadrophenia. The symphonic release of the Who’s 1973 concept album came out earlier this month and includes music by the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and vocals by classical tenor Alfie Boe, rocker Billy Idol, Phil Daniels, and Townshend. There’s also a one-night only performance in London set for July 5. Townshend, 70, has always felt The Who’s music was very orchestral for a rock band. But
for this performance, there’s an entire orchestra and choir to perform his composition. That doesn’t faze him a bit. “They will get on the tube with their violin and go to the Royal Albert Hall. They’ll look at the music, they will play it to their best of their ability and then they will go home. No fuss, no nonsense . . . they are brilliant, brilliant, brilliant trained musicians.” Townshend had dabbled with alternative musical concepts — including bringing rock opera to the masses with Tommy in 1969, a project that launched The Who into superstardom. The album spawned a 1975 movie and a Broadway musical that ran from 1993 to 1995.
Townshend says that writing Quadrophenia acted as a form of salvation that helped counteract the spoils of success after Tommy and the 1971 release Who’s Next. “We were in real trouble,” Townshend says of the early 1970s. “Keith Moon had become this kind of clown. Roger Daltrey had become this rock god. You know, I was in a boiler suit” — a reference to the oversized white coveralls that became his look at that time. And bassist John Entwistle? “(He) was dressing up in spider costumes with silver spiders round his neck,” said Townshend. That’s why the musician took it upon himself to reconnect

with fans with album they could relate. Quadrophenia tells the story of Jimmy, who Townshend describes as an amalgamation of the angry young male fans that made up the band’s early fan base. He’s a lost soul that finds solace in fighting, taking uppers, and music. Townshend wrote four themes that reflected each member of the band. Those melodies help tell a complex story of a confused young man in in Quadrophenia, yet Townshend simplifies it. “It’s about a boy who’s having a bad day and ends up in the rain and how that echoes and how that changes his view,” he said. Idol was blown away that he got the chance to play “Ace Face,”
the role played by Sting in the 1979 film. “I love The Who and it’s fantastic to get a chance to interact with these great people,” Idol said recently at a Musicares event in New York honouring Townshend. The disenfranchised youth theme sums up the appeal of The Who, especially in the band’s early days. Fuller, who played a big part in shaping the sound of the new release, shares an outsider’s view of the audience base. “I think what you didn’t have with the Rolling Stones and what you didn’t have with the Beatles, and certainly not with the Carpenters, is that The Who did connect with the teenagers with anger,” she said.

NHL DRAFT
LACROSSE
Oilers make it official and draft McDavid in first pick
T-Men look to get back to winning ways ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Erie Otters captain heads to Edmonton to join Hall, Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
SUNRISE, Fla. — The time between the NHL draft lottery and Friday added up to the longest 69 days of Connor McDavid’s life. Waiting the final few minutes before getting drafted felt like an eternity, too. “They had to introduce everyone and all the teams and the roll call, it just felt like it was going by so slowly,” McDavid said. “All I wanted to do was just have that pick called.” At 7:18 p.m. Edmonton Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli made the announcement that has was more than two months in the making. Like any other pick, Chiarelli selected Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters. But this wasn’t any other pick. McDavid is considered hockey’s “Next One” in the lineage of Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby, and now he begins the Oilers chapter of his career. “It’s an exciting time to be an Oiler and I know the fans are
McDAVID
excited, and they should be,” McDavid said. “Now that it’s finally happened and I’m an Edmonton Oiler, I couldn’t be more proud.” The Newmarket, Ont., native called the experience of being selected better than he expected. Anxiety more than nerves marked the night. During the day, McDavid was at ease with a nice breakfast with his parents and even some jet-skiing. “It’s been a great day,” he said. When it was finally his time to get up from his seat, the 18-year-
old finally felt a sense of relief. Wearing a baby blue tie, the 18-year-old took off his suit jacket, strode onto the stage and first shook commissioner Gary Bettman’s hand as fans cheered. Within seconds, McDavid put on the Oilers’ brand-new WHA-inspired orange jersey with his trademark No. 97 on the back and shoulders. Blue and orange has been on the shelves back in Erie already, and it’s about to be in fashion again. “It means a lot for them to do that,” McDavid said. “To see 97 when I flipped that jersey around was special.” After an incredible junior career that included 285 points in 166 games, McDavid can now shift his focus to professional hockey. While acknowledging that it’s a big jump from the Ontario Hockey League to playing against men, the humble superstar added the caveat that he has to work to make the team. That won’t be an issue, as McDavid joins the core of Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
“Welcome to Edmonton, Connor,” Hall tweeted. “Don’t mess up everything we’ve built the last 5 years! #FutureIsBright” The Oilers haven’t made the playoffs since 2006 but do have a bright future with McDavid. Chiarelli said Friday morning he has continually reminded himself since April that he needed to temper expectations for the phenom. “He’s such a good player, so you’re going to hear me temper expectations for a long time,” Chiarelli said. “He’s going to have his ups and downs. He’s a terrific player, he’s going to really help our franchise when he gets up and running.” McDavid knows the pressure and what to expect. But rather than temper expectations, he wants to raise them. “I think my expectations of myself exceed any of those that are put on me,” he said. “if I’m meeting my expectations, chances are I’ll meet your guys.”’ The reality is McDavid immediately became the face of the Oilers’ franchise.
Canucks select Brock Boeser 23rd overall SUNRISE, Fla. — Brock Boeser’s priorities go well beyond the world of hockey. The six-foot right-winger was selected 23rd overall by the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night at the NHL Draft, but he’s also looking forward to starting at the University of North Dakota in the fall. “I’m really, really excited just to get to that school and start playing hockey,” said Boeser, who has not declared a major but says he’s leaning toward business
or marketing. Boeser has had an impressive amateur career, playing for the Waterloo Black Hawks in the United States Hockey League. He ranked third in the USHL with 68 points (35 goals, 33 assists). He also won gold with the United States at the 2014 World Jr. A Challenge. “Getting a college degree is important to me,” said Boeser, who says he has been asked to go to the Canadian Hockey League but decided to stick with the NCAA. “Just getting it for life after hockey. It’s not all

hockey your whole life.” Boeser has drawn some of his motivation from his father Duane Boeser, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease five years ago. The younger Boeser was accompanied to the draft in Sunrise, Fla., by his parents, siblings and some cousins. “It’s definitely emotional,” said Boeser. “I couldn’t have done it without all the support of my friends and family. It just means a whole ton to me right now.” Vancouver has seven picks remaining on the second day of
the draft. The Canucks have a spot in each of the six remaining rounds with two in the fifth round. Meanwhile, the Canucks are still shopping Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom, while backup Cam Talbot of the New York Rangers is very much available. Canucks GM Jim Benning said the first trade could create a domino effect. If nothing else, the Senators getting a first-round pick (21st overall) from Buffalo for Lehner and veteran centre David Legwand sets a market price.

The Nanaimo Timbermen will look to get back to winning ways this weekend with back-to-back games against two teams who have already gotten the better of them so far this year. The T-Men face the New Westminster Salmonbellies tonight at Frank Crane Arena and then head to the Lower Mainland early Sunday afternoon to take on the Maple Ridge Burrards that evening. Kaleb Toth’s team currently sit in last place in the WLA after losing out to the Coquitlam Adanacs 10-7 at home two weeks ago. The Adanacs game was an important night for rookie Eli McLaughlin who had a goal and five assists. But the T-Men haven’t won for five straight games and Toth knows that needs to be turned around if they are to make the playoffs this time around. “Obviously they are two huge games for us and we have to get back to winning to give ourselves a chance,” said the head coach. Two of those losses in that fivegame losing streak were against tonight’s opponents, 12-7 and 9-2. “New West are a good team and they beat us quite easily last time, but we didn’t play our best and they executed better than what we did,” said Toth. He says a good work ethic will be a key aspect to tonight’s game along with one other. “Just playing intelligent lacrosse. Not turning the ball over and we need to make sure we battle for the loose balls.” Toth also admits the team’s transition game has been lacking and says his players haven’t scored enough goals on that front. “It all comes down to hard work and if we do that, we’ll give ourselves a chance.” Tonight’s game at Frank Crane starts at 7 p.m.

MONTREAL — Reports on Thursday said rush end Michael Sam is back in Montreal. Both RDS and TSN radio reported that Sam was in town, but it was unknown if the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL will return to the Montreal Alouettes. Sam signed a two-year contract with Montreal but left two weeks into training camp. “It was always anticipated that he’d come back,” said Alouettes coach Tom Higgins. “But I don’t have any information about Michael coming back.” General manager Jim Popp said he also heard that Sam was in Montreal but had no other information. Popp said when Sam left that the door was open if he wished to return. He expected Sam to return at some point and said that if he didn’t his career may be over.

Encarnacion got Toronto on the board in the bottom of the first inning when he hit a a grand slam off of Rangers’ starter Nick Martinez. He added his 16th homer of the season in the seventh. Toronto (40-35) has now won nine of 11 against Texas (37-37) and three of four overall. Mark Buehrle (9-4) tossed seven innings allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out five in the win. Martinez (5-5) went six innings allowing eight earned runs on nine hits while striking out two and walking four. After Martinez walked Jose Bautista to load the bases in the first, Encarnacion knocked his seventh career slam over the centre field wall. Encarnacion joins Devon Travis as the second Blue Jay to hit a grand slam this season. Kevin Pillar added to Toronto’s lead in the second leading off with a double and later scoring on a ground out by Jose Reyes. Travis gave Toronto a 6-2 lead after scoring on a bloop single by Josh Donaldson. Russell Martin, of Montreal, hit his 11th home run of the season in the third, which gave Toronto a 7-2 lead. Chris Colabello’s double scored Bautista giving Toronto an 8-2 lead in the fifth. Colabello would later score on a sac fly from Martin. Prince Fielder opened the game from Texas with a solo shot to right field in the first. The home run was the 300th of Fielder’s career. Prince and Cecil Fielder join Barry and Bobby Bonds as the only other father-son duo to have 300 home runs each. Elvis Andrus walked and scored in the second cutting the Jays lead to 4-2, but that’s as close as the Rangers would get.

The opening lead fetched the deuce, eight and jack and West switched to the five of hearts. East rose with the king when dummy followed low but shifted to a spade. West grabbed the ace and the contract was down one, N-S - 200. It was clear that West held three top clubs and, therefore, East showed count by contributing the eight-spot. West concluded that declarer was not false-carding and switched to a heart as the best chance of defeating the game. South would not hold the king of hearts and a solid trump suit. If West mistakenly continues clubs, declarer ruffs, draws trump and leads a spade towards the table. The king of spades would provide a heart pitch resulting in eleven tricks. The heart shift would be wrong when South held ten third of hearts and a spade void but was the right move on this layout. East was not inclined to remove the double since he owned neither significant values or a long suit. Prudence dictated a pass in the hope of defeating the minor suit game. There are four losers in a club or spade contract and North would, undoubtedly, double any advance by East. A nine-card suit is a relatively rare occurrence but the frequency of a 9,2,1,1 pattern comes in at .0178%.

A discussion could be uncomfortable yet enlightening. Tonight: Enjoy some one-one-one time with a loved one.

remain realistic in your choices. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sense of direction will take you down a unique path that promotes creativity and understanding. When you express these characteristics, others seem to be drawn to you. Don’t worry so much, and consider working through stress by exercising. Tonight: Be naughty! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Recognize how much is going on with you that you are not discussing. Know that a friend notices your mood change. Stay close to home and get into a favorite relaxing pastime. Taking a break from your life’s hectic pace will help renew your energy. Tonight: Play it low-key. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A key person in your life often might opt to share some unusual ideas. Help this person test them and find out whether they are workable. Expect a little resist-
ance at first. A gentle playfulness will mark a significant conversation. Tonight: Make it intense. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of what someone is really saying, as this person’s words could have several implications. You might be surprised by the response you receive if you start asking questions. Nevertheless, it is important to be on the same page. Tonight: Make it your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to a friend before making plans. You might enjoy yourself much more if this person is involved in what you are doing. One-on-one relating will result in mindful conversations and an empowered sense of well-being. Tonight: Go for what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Conversations with others might be awkward, but understand that you are heading toward a more fulfilling relationship. You like your freedom, and making any kind of commitment
There are lots of things you can do for friends who are ill, injured Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I used to be one of those people who, when I heard that someone was ill or injured, would say, “If I can do anything to help, please call me.” I meant it with all of my heart, but of course, no one ever called, so I assumed they were OK. Then disaster struck our home. My husband fell down some steps and suddenly was a quadriplegic. Not only did it forever change our lives, it also made me realize that even though I needed help, I was hesitant to reach out. So here is my advice to those who really want to be of assistance but don’t know how: 1. If it’s the season to do something around your house (mow the grass or clean the gutters), your friend will need to do the same thing. If your snow needs shoveling, so does hers. If your leaves need raking, so do hers. Don’t ask. Call and say, “I have an extra hour. I’m going to run over and rake your leaves,” and don’t take no for an answer. My
pride kept me from asking, but I would gladly have accepted help from someone who insisted.
doors when it occurred to him that I couldn’t do that myself. I could have kissed him.
2. Don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep. We had a neighbor who told us on four separate occasions that he would come by to fix a broken door but didn’t show up.
5. Call to say you are coming over to visit. We both feel so isolated. I would love for people to stop by so I have someone to talk to and he could have a friend watch a baseball game with him. People come when we specifically invite them, but they never call to suggest coming over. I get it. Before, I didn’t know what we’d talk about. But the truth is, I wouldn’t care if we talked about the weather. I want to hear how “real” people live, not just rehash what our life has become. — Exhausted After 10 Months Dear Exhausted: Your suggestions are excellent. Most people want to help, but they don’t know how to do it. And they don’t want to impose by insisting on cutting the grass, dropping off a meal or asking to stop by for a visit. We hope they will take your words to heart.
3. Cook something. We can no longer afford to go out to dinner, nor can we justify the expense of the special van needed to transport my husband to a restaurant. I am so tired of eating nothing but my own cooking. If you make an extra amount of anything, your friend would probably appreciate your sharing. People tend to bring food for the first couple of weeks, but now, months later, a meal would be so wonderful, and I would be so grateful. Anything I don’t have to cook tastes delicious. 4. If your friend isn’t “tool educated” or “computer literate” and you are, you could be a huge help. I have several things that need fixing with a power drill and I’m not good at it and don’t have the time to devote to practicing. Right now, I’m building a sidewalk to our patio. It would be great if someone called to say, “I have two free hours. What do you need help with?” One neighbor came by to remove our storm

often is difficult for you. Tonight: Set the scene for more fun and caring. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have been going through a major transformation that you haven’t necessarily shared. However, those who are close to you probably already know. Be open; let them see where you have been, where you are and what you are thinking. Tonight: Make it memorable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) No matter how you see a personal matter, the other parties involved might be visualizing the potential outcome much differently. Take a hard look at what is motivating a strong stance. You probably will want to update your thinking. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others often go along with your schemes and wild ideas. As you play out a scenario, you will find yourself delighted to be with a certain person. If you are single, be aware of what is going
on between the two of you. A family member wants your time. Tonight: Let romance in. YOUR BIRTHDAY (June 27) This year much of what occurs seems to happen naturally. I f you find that you are avoiding a lot of difficult situations, pull back and consider how you might be interfering with potentially good struggles and/or life lessons. If you are single, as of mid-August your life will take a surprising turn. Opportunities to meet more people emerge, and a special relationship is in the offing. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other’s company more and more. Consider taking off for some long weekends. SCORPIO can be extremely demanding.

Angry Trump severs ties with Univision FRAZIER MOORE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Donald Trump to Univision: Get off my lawn. Firing back at Univision for its refusal to air his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, the outspoken mogul and GOP presidential candidate has barred anyone who works for Univision from the greens of his Miami golf course. In a letter Friday to Randy Falco, Trump advised the Univision CEO that “under no circumstances is any officer or representative of Univision allowed to use Trump National Doral, Miami — its golf courses or any of its facilities.” Trump also demanded that Falco, whose company’s Miami office is next door to Trump National Doral, “immediately stop work and close the gate which is being constructed between our respective properties.” Trump gave Falco one week to take care of that matter, or “we will close it.” The letter was dispatched a day after Univision declared it was cancelling its coverage of the Miss USA pageant July 12 on its UniMas network as well as the Miss Universe pageant, which had been scheduled to air on the flagship Univision channel
next January, and was severing its business relationship with the Miss Universe Organization, which produces both pageants. The reason: what Univision called “insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants” recently voiced by Trump, a part owner of Miss Universe. During his presidential campaign kickoff speech last week, Trump had portrayed immigrants from Mexico as “bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.” He also called for building a wall along the southern border of the U.S. The remarks drew condemnation from the Mexican government as “biased and absurd,” and sparked Univision’s announcement. Trump, who has said his criticism was directed against U.S. policymakers, not the Mexican people or its government, stated Thursday that Univision would be defaulting on an ironclad contract if it doesn’t air the pageants. He pledged to take legal action against the company. He also accused the New Yorkbased Univision of having ties to Mexico that led the network to submit to pressure from Mexican leaders to punish him for pro-U.S. positions he expresses as a presidential candidate.
