Nanaimo Maps and Charts owner Andy Wizinsky is closing up the family-run downtown bookstore after 52 years — another casualty of the Internet

Nanaimo Maps and Charts owner Alan Wizinsky will be closing the doors of his family business after more than 50 years in Nanaimo. [AARON HINKS/DAILY NEWS]

s a child, Alan Wizinsky grew up between the shelves of his father’s store, which specialized in all things nautical, from books of coastal lore and boat maintenance, to maps and charts of the Pacific Northwest. A family business for the last 52 years at 8 Church Street downtown, Nanaimo Maps and Charts will mark the end of an era later this month as they close their doors. They are currently selling off all their inventory, including fixtures. “The biggest reason is the Internet. People aren’t using paper charts, they’re using electronics. Same with maps. Hunters are using GPS’s rather than topograhic maps, and young people are not buying books,” said Wizinsky, who said the decision to close was purely

Deteriorating relations between Nanaimo council members has led Mayor Bill McKay to have the city hire a professional facilitator to improve what the mayor describes as an “extremely acrimonious” atmosphere at council. McKay said he began the search for a consultant in December, after he became concerned by “certain comments” from some council members to one another and towards himself. McKay confirmed the city has hired Vancouver-based The Integrity Group, a firm specializing in workplace assessments and conflict resolution. He said the firm had previously done work for the city’s respectful workplace program. The firm has so far conducted several one-on-one interviews — some of them lasting several hours —with councillors and city manager Ted Swabey, McKay said. He said the results so far have been positive. “I’ve heard nothing but glowing reports from council.” But McKay acknowledged recent council meetings have seen conflict at the council table and in the public gallery. He says it is affecting council business. Two council meetings have had to be cancelled this year due to lack of quorum, which senior city officials have said is unprecedented. While council members have pointed fingers at one another on who is to blame, Coun. Ian Thorpe said a more business-like approach is needed on issues that may stoke passions. “I think we need to debate issues without bringing personalities into play . . .” Thorpe said. Nanaimo’s acting human resources director Paddy Bradley said that the city has not yet received an invoice from the contractor. McKay said he was unsure of the cost but called it “an investment in council’s future.” Spencer.Anderson@ nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

Library system has $1M surplus Newly renovated Harbourfront branch will be larger, newly refurnished with more computer stations DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
The Vancouver Island Regional Library board finished up 2014 with $1 million more in the bank than budgeted through a combination of good luck and good management. That’s reassuring news for a library system that spans much of coastal B.C., and which is half way through a 10-year plan to build sufficient reserves to ensure maintenance costs are covered for its 39 branches between Saanich and Haida Gwaii. In its annual report, released this week, VIRL shows a budget surplus of $836,468.
“We have this consolidated facilities master plan. It’s a 10-year plan and we’re half way there.” Steve Huncombe, VIRL
That’s about a $1-million improvement from an expected budget deficit of $242,000. Savings were made in wages and benefits, branch costs and in other areas. “There are two big things — the Nanaimo northern branch didn’t open until the middle of the year, and a couple projects got
deferred,” said Steve Huncombe, VIRL acting divisional director of finance. A project in Port Hardy will go to tender soon and a Tahsis project is not far away either. When a project stalls, the money stays in reserves for its intended purpose. Five years ago, the library board started planning for future facility maintenance. “We have this consolidated facilities master plan,” Huncombe said. “It’s a 10-year plan and we’re half way there.” It means a commitment to put additional money away specifically for that purpose. By 2020, the reserve will be fully funded
to ensure facilities maintenance into the future. That allows more projects like the renovations now underway at the Harbourfront branch downtown. “That should actually be done by this fall,” Huncombe said. “I think right now it’s scheduled to be done by November.” Last year, there were 2.65 million visits to VIRL branches, checking out 5.3 million items. For Nanaimo users, the newly renovated Harbourfront branch will be larger, newly refurnished with more computer stations, in the age of digital information. “It was due for a major reno,” Huncombe said.

Sale of Fairwinds to wrap up at end of month
Conservation officer remains under suspension over sparing bear cubs
ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Vancouver-based Seacliff Properties Ltd. is the new owner of the large Fairwinds development in Nanoose Bay. The sale to Seacliff is scheduled to be completed on July 31, but company officials declined to say how much was paid for the property Wednesday. Ian Porter, Seacliff’s director of real estate, said the company intends to work with all stakeholders to “move ahead with the approved vision for the future of Fairwinds.” He said there may be “some tweaks” from the original plans as the project moves forward, but Seacliff’s intention is to work within the perametres of what’s already been approved for the property. In the meantime, Porter said Seacliff will keep all staff at the golf course, marina and community centre, and it will be “business-as-usual” over the busy summer months. Russell Tibbles, vice president for development and operations at Fairwinds, said the sale is “excellent news” for the Fairwinds community. “Seacliff Properties Ltd. is an established development company experienced in managing and developing large-scale real estate projects throughout Western Canada,” he said. Fairwinds went up for sale by its owner, the Victoria-based B.C. Investment Management Corporation, in October, less than three months after plans for a $2.3-billion development received final approval from the Regional District of Nanaimo.

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
The B.C. Conservation Office will investigate the facts around a conservation officer who refused a superior’s order to destroy two orphaned bear cubs. The five-month-old bears are in care at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington, and the conservation officer is suspended. The officer had to destroy the mother last week in Port Hardy following reports it was stealing food from freezers. Then on the weekend the officer and the Port Hardy Fire Department rescued the two cubs from a tree where they were seen crying for their mother. The cubs were transferred to the recovery centre in Errington, which is standard procedure unless the animal is diseased or poses a threat to humans. The online petition, ‘Reinstate Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant, on change.org, grew from reports he suspended for refusing to destroy the cubs. The petition had more than 50,000 signatures and growing Wednesday, two days after it was started. Acting deputy chief Chris Doyle of the conservation office spoke to the press about it Wednesday. “Obviously the preference is to keep the bears alive and wild, and prevent conflicts happening in the first place,” Doyle said, but to reporters’ questions about mounting public demands to

reinstate the officer, he said only: “We’re investigating the circumstances and all actions that took place, and I’m not going to comment further on personnel issues.” Orphaned cubs are destroyed if they are in poor health or no longer fear humans, and “the initial report is that the bears were exposed to conflict and they
were exposed to some human habituation,” Doyle said. Julie Mackey, NIWRC assistant manager knows the wildlife officer, and said “he’s very professional — a very good guy.” She said the orphaned cubs are “healthy, they’re feeding and they’re scared of us, like they should be, so they’re not showing any habituated behaviour.”
Doyle said senior staff, biologists and wildlife veterinarians will assess the situation, “including obviously the health and condition of the animals themselves, as well as (their) level of habituation.” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235
Chief administrative officer hired for Lantzville ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Brad McRae is the new chief administrative officer in the District of Lantzville. McRae has served as CAO for the District of Lillooet, manager of by-law services with the City of North Vancouver, and senior by-law officer for the City of Williams Lake. He was selected following a competitive process where over 30 applications were reviewed, and will take on his new role on Aug. 31.
McRae replaces Lantzville’s long-time CAO Twyla Graff who resigned in April during a time of ongoing relationship problems between Lantzville’s council and its senior managers. Jedha Holmes, Lantzville’s director of finance for more than six years, also resigned in April. Lantzville councillors Jennifer Millbank, Rod Negrave, Dave Scott and Graham Savage also resigned soon after, and an election is scheduled for Aug. 8 to fill those seats.

Next step on asbestos must be a total ban
N
o wonder Ottawa didn’t want the attention. Health Canada was widely congratulated last week for recently revising its website to more accurately reflect global scientific and medical knowledge on the risks of inhaling asbestos, a known carcinogen. But a spokesman for Health Minister Rona Ambrose tried to downplay the significance of the changes, saying they had occurred simply due to a review of all web content as part of an upcoming move to a centralized government website. The Conservatives, it seems, want no public reminders that for years they’d championed Canada’s asbestos industry while blocking international attempts
The Tories long maintained the fiction that chrysotile asbestos — which happened to be what Canada used to export — was less dangerous than other types of asbestos. to even warn countries that imported the deadly material of its inherent health dangers. The Tories long maintained the fiction that chrysotile asbestos — which happened to be what Canada used to export — was less dangerous than other types of asbestos if handled safely. This despite the World Health
Organization, as well as medical bodies around the world, declaring all forms of the deadly substance were carcinogenic while rejecting the notion asbestos could be safely handled. Unconscionably, the Conservatives had put supporting the industry and winning votes in Quebec ahead of any moral duty to protect lives. Prime Minister Stephen Harper defended the asbestos industry during the last federal election campaign, stating during an April, 2011 campaign stop in Asbestos, Quebec — home to Canada’s last asbestos mine — that his government wouldn’t “discriminate” against the export of chrysotile asbestos to countries where its use was still permitted.
Until two years ago, Ottawa opposed efforts to have chrysotile asbestos listed as an international hazardous substance, which would have forced producing countries like Canada to warn importing nations of the health risks associated with the cancer-causing substance. That opposition only ended after Canada’s last asbestos mine had gone out of business and the Quebec government announced it wouldn’t put any money into plans to reopen the operation, effectively closing the door on asbestos production in this country. A cynic might conclude that only after there were no more dollars or votes connected to the issue, Mr. Harper’s government bowed to the inevitable.
Health Canada no longer says chrysotile asbestos is less dangerous if handled safely or that the risk to health varies with the amount inhaled. It now states that “asbestos, if inhaled, can cause cancer and other diseases.” We agree with critics, the Health Canada changes are a step in the right direction. What’s needed next is a total ban on importing goods, such as car brakes and some piping, containing asbestos into Canada. Who knows, that might even win Mr. Harper some votes.

Pope’s climate change comments not admired
Although I often do not agree with the signs held by Randall Stearman and in this case, Tim McGrath, I do think people have the right to exercise their voice. I find it incredibly ironic that Mayor McKay used to work for a sign-making company. If McKay would like to see a policy in place regarding signs, I would suggest he bring a motion forward that is reasonable, such as people with signs have to be in the back row to ensure they are not blocking people’s view and no derogatory comments on the signs. It seems that this is simply another subject our city’s mayor has changed his mind on after getting into his newly elected role. Freedom of speech shouldn’t be only for when it’s convenient.
As we’ve come to expect, a local right winger didn’t like the Pope’s comments on climate change and was criticized for that. Paraphrasing the great Jon Stewart, the Pope just decided to endorse traditional sea level values.

Burning LNG will create more greenhouse gases Many say that science is only a theory, but scientific research makes it a fact or else it is discarded as a viable theory. We had all better get used to the fact that global warming and climate change is no longer just a theory. It borders on pitiful that so many are in total denial of the fact that our planet is in dire need of some tender loving care.
The government is back to its self serving stance to try and convince us that liquid natural gas is the best thing that ever happened to the human race, which indeed is just the opposite. To add to all of the other out of control causes of climate change, we now top it off with liquid natural gas. When compressed natural gas is turned into liquid natural gas by the fracking process, it is altered to become 95 per cent methane gas, or CH 4. This is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming and is more than 20 times more potent than CO 2. If we resort to burning LNG, we will be causing more greenhouse gases then we are presently doing. LNG only appeals to them because it is easier to transport and store. Due to research on global warming, it has been discovered that dangerously large amounts of methane gas is being released from the melting arctic ice, and the ocean floor. This situation cannot be reversed, it can only escal-
ate at a tremendous rate as the climate gets warmer and more methane gas is being released. With this added amount of CH 4 being released into our atmosphere along with our BC government’s dream (or nightmare) of turning all natural gas into methane gas by fracking, they are signing our country’s death warrant. I am not a fear monger nor a doomsday advocate, but just a concerned realist. I am sure that I am not the only one who can see the damage and hear our planet screaming for mercy, which is mostly falling upon deaf ears. John A.

Hotels rooms will be scarce this weekend Hotels in Nanaimo are preparing for what is considered by many to be their busiest weekend of the year. This weekend is expected to see tens of thousands of people from all over the Pacific Northwest descend on Nanaimo for the 13th annual Dragon Boat Festival. Added to that is the B.C. Junior Development Track and Field Championships that is expected draw approximately 1,000 more people into the city, with many of them also looking for accommodations and other services. Officials at the Coast Bastion Hotel, Waterfront Suites and Marina and the Grand Hotel are reporting they are expecting a high amount of traffic through their doors in the coming days. Dan Brady, manager of Nanaimo’s Howard Johnson Harbourside Hotel, is also a director with the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. He said most of the hotels downtown fill up every Dragon Boat festival as visitors want to be as close to the action in Maffeo-Sutton Park as possible. “We’d love to see more weekends like this,” Brady said. “Unfortunately, we don’t see as many visitors during the Bathtub Race weekend because it’s more of a local event.”

A former Nanaimo resident and chef has won $10,000 after winning the Food Network’s Chopped Canada reality show. Brock Bowes sliced, diced and fried his way past three other competitors from across the country to claim the top prize, a portion of which he has donated to his local SPCA. Bowes, who graduated from Vancouver Island University’s culinary arts program in 1997, in now executive chef at Kelowna’s RauDZ Regional Table restaurant, which specializes in dishes that use local ingredients. The mustachioed, tattooed chef said his experience with a wide array of ingredients helped give him an edge to win the prize. The show works by giving each competitor an identical basket of unusual ingredients at the start of each of three rounds. The chefs must infuse the ingredients of each basket into an appetizer, a main course and dessert. At the end of each round, a panel of celebrity judges will judge the dishes and send one contestant home until only one chef remains. The weird mixture of ingredients is intended to test each chef’s creativity and ability to improvise over a hot oven

Beban leisure pool out of action for fix DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo’s Beban Park leisure pool was out of commission Wednesday as city maintenance workers had to replace a filter pump that cleans the pool. Mark Demecha, manager of civic facilities, said the work was expected to wrap up by the end of the day.
The work saw the city cancel a leisure-only swim between 3-7 p.m., however, swimming lessons continued as normal, as well as an adult swim session earlier in the afternoon. The two other pools in the facility remained open as well as the steam and sauna rooms. The leisure pool includes

Clark visits forest fires in Pemberton THE CANADIAN PRESS
Firefighters battling the flames in British Columbia’s forests are playing a dangerous game with an opponent that doesn’t play by the rules, said Premier Christy Clark. The premier was in Pemberton, B.C., on Wednesday, a small community east of the Elaho blaze. The fire, at 200 square kilometres, is one of the largest in the province and B.C.’s Wildfire Service said it is burning uncontained because it’s generating too much smoke for aircraft to fight. Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said about 190 wildfires are burning around the province, 31 of those started on Tuesday alone. Clark told reporters the government will spend what’s needed to fight the flames and call upon the necessary resources, even if that means going around the world. “You know I was saying to one
of the guys, ’fighting fires, fighting these kinds of fires is like playing a chess game,”’ she said. “’You’ve got to figure out the people that you need, the resources that you need, have them deployed in the right spot. The difference is, when you are playing a chess game with a forest fire, your opponent cheats. They don’t play by the rules and that’s the problem that these brave men and women are facing every day.”’ Clark also referred to the threesquare-kilometre fire burning north of the Sunshine Coast community of Sechelt that claimed the life of a 60-year-old man on Sunday. Logger John Phare was struck and killed by a falling tree. “We should all be really grateful for what they are doing,” she said of the firefighters. “They are blackened and dirty and sweaty and they’re very much in harms way every minute of the day and they’re doing that for all of us in the province.”

Police say Irish tourists may have key details
Dentist’s incompetence caused brain damage
Watchdog probes north Island police shooting
RCMP in British Columbia hope to speak to three visitors from Cork, Ireland, as the Mounties investigate a deadly accident north of Vancouver. Police say the Irish visitors were vacationing in the province on May 31, and were on the Duffey Lake Road, driving from Whistler to Sun Peaks, when they arrived at the scene of a crash that killed three people. An RCMP release says the three tourists, an older, married couple and a female relative, stopped their black Jeep Cherokee to help and officers believe the three may have vital information. Two cyclists died when an oncoming vehicle veered across the centreline and smashed into them on a rural section of highway, 25 kilometres north of Pemberton. A passenger in the vehicle was also killed.
The regulatory authority for dentists in B.C. says a dental surgeon sedated a young patient to the point that she went into cardiac arrest and suffered a severe brain injury. A discipline panel of the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. says Dr. Bobby Rishiraj of Kamloops provided deep sedation without being approved to provide such a procedure to patients. The college says the patient identified only as HZ had gone to Rishiraj’s clinic in November 2012 to have her wisdom teeth removed. It concluded that the dentist was incompetent because he failed to recognize HZ’s cardiac arrest in a timely way, delayed response and did not monitor his patients while they were sedated.
Mounties on northern Vancouver Island say the province’s police watchdog is now investigating the shooting death of a man by officers. They responded on Wednesday morning to reports of a man allegedly threatening security staff at a high school in Port Hardy. The school is being used as a staging area for personnel and helicopters battling local wildfires, and police say reports indicated the suspect “was brandishing a knife.” RCMP say officers tracked the suspect down on the Island Highway, a confrontation followed, police fired shots, and the suspect was killed. Police say they will not make any further comment on the shooting because of the IIO investigation.

Saskatchewan emergency supply centre lacks supplies
Collection bill from fraudulent money now past $100M
People have been fleeing their homes as fast-approaching forest fire threatens KURTIS DOERING THE CANADIAN PRESS
COLD LAKE, Alta. — Some people who had to flee their homes due to a fast-approaching forest fire in northern Saskatchewan say the evacuation centre they are staying at in Alberta is lacking basic amenities. Jennifer and Mable Isbister, who live in La Ronge, say the past two days haven’t been easy for them or their families. With no time to pack their things, they and hundreds of others boarded a bus to Prince Albert, Sask., then on to Cold Lake, Alta. When they reached the recreation centre in Cold Lake, Jennifer was given a foldup cot with a small wool blanket to sleep on. Others didn’t get blankets, the sisters said, adding there is not enough food to go around either. “This morning they ran out of stuff again,” Mable said Tuesday. “It’s going to be a continuing process,” Jennifer added, “Some of us didn’t even have supper last night or breakfast this morning.” Some elders had to leave home without their medicine, wheelchairs and walkers, and getting to meals has been a challenge, she said. “I went and borrowed an office chair and helped my grandpa,” Jennifer said, “I put him in there and took him to the kitchen and took him outside for a smoke. So he’s keeping that chair with him. He’s using that.” As of Tuesday, there were around 680 evacuees were being housed in Cold Lake. J.P. Taschereau, senior manager of emergency response

with the Red Cross, said he is not aware of a food shortage at the evacuation centre in Cold Lake. He said volunteers are working to help replace vital items that evacuees may have left behind. “If our volunteers in the shelter become aware of such a situation, they will then refer to public health and then we’ll have a volunteer go and pick up either medication or a wheelchair or for example, baby formula or diapers,” Taschereau said. The Red Cross is not accepting donations of food, blankets, clothing and other items, saying the space and manpower
required to take them would pull resources away from more urgent needs. It will take donations of money, but it is not actively campaigning for cash aid. It suggests people who want to donate food and other such items to contact groups such as the Salvation Army. “Lots of these evacuees don’t necessarily want to be in the parking lot having a quiet moment, and be challenged by somebody with a garbage bag full of clothes,” said Karri Kempf with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Social Services.
“It’s really intimidating for people. They’re not used to the crowds, they’re not used to the huge centres.” But Jennifer and Mable Isbister said while many are lacking towels or clothing, such help would be welcome. “Why should they reject the donations that are being offered to the people that need them?” Jennifer asked. Meanwhile, in Regina, people collecting donations for wildfire evacuees at a hotel are being told by Social Services to stop and take everything to Salvation Army instead.
OTTAWA — The collection bill for money fraudulently claimed through the employment insurance program has surpassed $100 million, but the government doesn’t expect to collect the money any time soon. Figures released to The Canadian Press show that debt collection is increasingly being pushed off to future years, even as the government appears to be more efficient at uncovering bad debts. The figures show that in fiscal year 2013-14, which ended March 31, 2014 and are the most recent figures available, the department responsible for overseeing EI — Employment and Social Development Canada —watched the collection bill hit almost $102.7 million. That’s the amount the government aims to collect at some point over the next six years. In fiscal year 2007-08, the second year of the Conservative government, the value of fraudulent claims the government expected to collect at some point in the future stood at just under $25.3 million, or about one quarter of what was expected in 201314. It’s unclear why the department is putting off more and more of its debt-collection efforts into the future. The department didn’t explain why, nor did the minister’s office. “Our Conservative government will not apologize for ensuring taxpayers’ money is treated with respect,” Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre said.

Greek government asks for a three-year aid deal Debt-stricken country is in a race to submit reform proposal ELENA BECATOROS AND JAMEY KEATEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS — Greece requested a new three-year rescue program from its European partners on Wednesday and rushed to complete a detailed plan of economic reforms in time to avoid the country’s descent into financial chaos. With the banking system teetering on the edge of collapse, the government sought to reassure its European creditors that it would enact tax and pension reforms quickly in exchange for loans from Europe’s bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism. In its formal request to tap the fund, the Greek government said it would “immediately implement a set of measures as early as the beginning of next week.” After months of fruitless nego-
tiations with the Greek government, the skeptical European creditor states have said they want to see a detailed, cost-accounted plan of the reforms by Thursday. That is meant to give the creditors enough time to review the plan before leaders of the European Union’s 28 countries meet on Sunday in what has been termed as Greece’s last chance to stay in the euro. In the letter, the Greek government said it was aiming to be able to finance itself once the new aid program is over in three years. Without a deal, Greece faces an almost inevitable collapse of the banking system, which would be the first step for the country to fall out of the euro. Markets are holding up despite the apparent ultimatum, with many investors predicting a last-minute deal. The Stoxx 50 index closed up 1 per cent.
“Guarded optimism is the theme today, as the eurozone gives Greece one final deadline,” said Chris Beauchamp, senior market analyst at IG in London. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, addressing lawmakers at the European Parliament, said his country is seeking a deal that would bring a definitive end to his country’s financial crisis. Greece has had two bailouts from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund since May 2010, totalling 240 billion euros ($260 billion). “We need to ensure the medium-term funding of our country with a development and growth program,” Tsipras told lawmakers in Strasbourg, France. The head of France’s central bank said he feared the “collapse” of the Greek economy and “chaos” if Greece doesn’t strike a deal by Sunday.
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika issued an emergency plan on Wednesday to crack down on mounting ethnic unrest around the country’s southern oasis city of Ghardaia, which has left at least 22 people dead in the past two days. The three-point plan covering security, justice and development put the area’s military commander in charge of both security forces and local officials trying to restore order, according to a statement from the president’s office. The president ordered the prosecutor in the region to follow all lawbreakers “with diligence and severity,” the statement said. The violence in the poor desert region of Ghardaia, more than 600 kilometres (375 miles) south of Algiers, was the latest episode of sporadic but sometimes deadly unrest between rival gangs of Berbers and Arabs.
WikiLeaks on Wednesday published a new list of German phone numbers it claims showed the U.S. National Security Agency targeted phones belonging to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s close aides and chancellery offices for surveillance. Wednesday’s publication came a week after WikiLeaks released a list of numbers it said showed the NSA targeted officials at various other German ministries and elsewhere. That rekindled concerns over U.S. surveillance in Germany after reports two years ago that Merkel’s own cellphone was targeted. Merkel’s chief of staff last week asked the U.S. ambassador to a meeting and told him that German law must be followed. There was no immediate comment from the German government on the latest publication. The list includes a cellphone number attributed to Ronald Pofalla, Merkel’s chief of staff.

Subway workers strike, transit grinds to a halt
U.S., Emirati launch new communications centre
Many London commuters left work early Wednesday to beat the start of a strike that’s expected to shut down the city’s subway system. Drivers and station staff were walking out for 24 hours from 6:30 p.m. in a dispute over pay and schedules when a 24-hour subway service starts on some lines later this year. Subway operator Transport for London says so many drivers are expected to participate that it will be impossible to run any trains during the walkout. In past strikes, management managed to keep a few lines running. The Underground handles 4 million journeys a day, and the strike by members of four unions will likely paralyze the capital’s transport system, despite extra bus and river services. Union officials accused management of failing to negotiate seriously, but London Mayor Boris Johnson branded the strike “totally unnecessary, cynically timed and politically motivated.”
The U.S. and Emirati governments launched a new Mideast digital communications centre Wednesday focused on using social media to counter the Islamic State group’s propaganda efforts online. IS supporters have deftly harnessed social media to spread the group’s slickly produced Hollywood-style film clips and other messages aimed at recruiting and drawing support from plugged-in young Muslims. The Obama administration has urged Arab allies to do more to combat the media blitz, characterizing the fight on the communications front as a key pillar in the overall effort to defeat the group. The new Sawab Center is one of the most concrete responses to that call yet in the region. Named for the Arabic word for “the right or proper way,” it will be based in Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Groups say pipeline spill fine is not harsh enough An energy company with a history of pipeline problems has been fined and warned by Alberta’s regulator for a 2013 spill that sent millions of litres of salty water into the muskeg. But environmental groups say Apache Canada’s $16,500 penalty isn’t even a slap on the wrist. “It’s more like a wave in the general direction of a wrist,” Keith Stewart of Greenpeace said Tuesday. Sometime during the first week in May 2013, an Apache pipeline in the Zama region of northern Alberta began to leak process water heavily contaminated with salt. That leak continued until it had released 15 million toxic litres into the surrounding muskeg. The company finally reported the leak to the regulator on June 1 of that year. It was the latest in a series of problems for the company.

Young people can be Driver who killed two engaged in 2015 election while texting sent to jail
Total building permit value dropped in May
Native groups seeking oil, gas moratorium
A Concordia University student is hoping to reverse the voter apathy trend among young people across Canada in advance of the expected fall federal election. Matthew Heuman has created a new voting application for smart phones and tablets that he says gives youth voters the tools they need at election time — and takes away excuses for not voting. The Vote Note app uses GPS technology to pinpoint riding districts for voters, providing them with candidate names and information, polling station locations and a clock that counts down to election day, which is expected Oct. 19. The second-year journalism student says a lot of voter apathy he’s witnessed is the result of young people being overwhelmed by the election process.
Statistics Canada says the total value of building permits issued fell 14.5 per cent to $6.7 billion in May, following two months of double-digit gains. Economists had expected a drop of five per cent, according to Thomson Reuters. The value of residential permits issued in May dropped 13.5 per cent to $3.9 billion. Meanwhile, Canadian municipalities issued non-residential building permits worth $2.8 billion in May, down 16.0 per cent from April. The value of permits issued were down in five provinces, led by Ontario and followed by British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia. The drop in Ontario came mostly as a result of lower construction intentions for institutional buildings, multi-family dwellings and single-family houses.
The chiefs of three native groups in Quebec are asking the province to impose a 12-year moratorium on oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They outlined their position at a news conference in Montreal as the Assembly of First Nations continued its annual meeting. They are also asking federal party leaders to tell voters ahead of this fall’s election where they stand on the protection of the Gulf from development. The chiefs of the Innu, Mi’kmaq and Maliseet nations say the Quebec government recently announced it would lift the moratorium on oil and gas exploration in the region. Mi’kmaq Chief Scott Martin says the moratorium is necessary, at least until environmental impact studies have been conducted.
A young driver has been sentenced to two years in custody for a crash in Winnipeg that killed two people and injured three others. Court heard the woman, who was 17 at the time of the crash in 2010, was speeding and texting. She had also been drinking. The woman, now 22, pleaded guilty in youth court to criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. A judge refused a Crown request to sentence her as an adult. Following her custody term, she will also be under mandatory community supervision for one year. The Crown had asked that she serve five years in prison as an adult. The defence requested a youth sentence of one year in custody.

NYSE Pope visits Bolivia, South America’s blanked poorest country, amid religious tension half day, not seen as a hack MATTHEW CRAFT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — It was already a tough day in the market when the unexpected hit. The New York Stock Exchange halted trading late Wednesday morning because of technical trouble. The outage came as traders had plenty of other things to worry about. Concerns about China’s plunging stock market and a logjam in talks between Greece and its creditors weighed on the mood. Major indexes were already falling before the shutdown, which occurred shortly after 11:30 a.m. Eastern time. NYSE resumed trading at 3:10 p.m. The exchange, in a statement late Wednesday, attributed the malfunction to a “configuration issue” and not as the result of hackers. A NYSE spokeswoman would not provide further details. The broader stock market stayed open as orders to buy and sell kept flowing to the Nasdaq and other exchanges around the country. Tom Caldwell, who runs an investment firm with stakes in several exchanges, said there are some 60 exchanges and trading venues that can take orders when one goes down, so investors shouldn’t get rattled. “It’s disruptive, but not wildly disruptive,” said Caldwell, chairman of Caldwell Securities. President Obama was briefed on the NYSE situation, according to Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman. Officials told the president there were no malicious actors involved. By the end of the day, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 34.66 points, or 1.7 per cent, to close at 2,046.68. The Dow Jones industrial average dipped 261.49 points, or 1.5 per cent, to 17,515.42 and the Nasdaq slid 87.70 points, or 1.8 per cent, to 4,909.76. U.S. markets have been dogged by technical problems over recent years as more trading is handled by computers. In May 2010, the Dow plunged hundreds of points in minutes in an incident that later became known as the “flash crash.” In March 2012, BATS Global Markets, a Kansas company that offers stock trading services, cancelled its own IPO after several snafus. Two months later, a highly anticipated IPO of Facebook on the Nasdaq exchange was marred by a series of technical problems, rattling investors unsure if their orders went through. James Angel, an associate professor of finance at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, said NYSE’s shutdown highlighted both the fragility and the resilience of modern technology. Angel sat on the board of exchange company Direct Edge before it was acquired by a larger rival last year. “From an investors’ perspective, if you hadn’t heard about the outage, you probably wouldn’t have noticed,” Angel said. Portfolio manager Mark Spellman of Alpine Funds said an outage similar to Wednesday’s would have caused panic a few decades ago, when the NYSE dominated the market. But firms making trades were able to use a variety of other exchanges while the NYSE was out of commission. He says the disruption didn’t cause any problems for the global markets. “Only 15 to 20 per cent of global stock exchange trading happens on the NYSE these days,” he said. “Things are so spread out.” Still, others on Wall Street found the long outage unsettling. Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors, said it was unsettling that computer problems also forced United Airlines to temporarily ground its flights across the country and the Wall Street Journal’s website went down, all on the same day. In China, the Shanghai Composite sank 6 per cent despite new attempts by China’s government to stop the selling. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, a victim of the turmoil in mainland Chinese markets, also lost six per cent.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — After wrapping up the Ecuador leg of his South American pilgrimage Wednesday, Pope Francis flew to Bolivia, where church-state tensions over everything from the environment to the role of the church in society are high on the agenda. He was greeted on the tarmac with a hug from Bolivian President Evo Morales. The president then hung around the pope’s
nect a pouch traditionally used by people in the Andes to hold coca leaves, which they chew to ward off the ill effects of extreme altitude. Before leaving Ecuador’s capital Quito, Francis met with elderly residents of a nursing home and gave an offthe-cuff pep talk to local clergy, telling them to be humble and to never forget their roots. Then he was set to fly to La Paz and meet with Bolivian President Evo Morales, The stop in La Paz was being kept to four hours to spare the
78-year-old pope from the taxing 4,000-meter elevation; the rest of his Bolivian stay will be in Santa Cruz. Bolivian Communications Minister Marienala Paco said Morales decided to cut his speech before the pope to five minutes “considering the pope’s health,” state news agency ABI reported. Francis and Morales have met on several occasions, most recently in October when the president, a former coca farmer, participated in a Vatican summit of grassroots groups of indigen-
ous and advocates for the poor who have been championed by Francis. Their shared views on caring for society’s poorest, and the need for wealthy countries to drastically change course to address climate change have bumped up against Morales’ anti-clerical initiatives that have roiled relations with the local church. As soon as Morales took office in 2006, for example, the Bible and cross were removed from the presidential palace.

‘Minions’ silly but not shoddy film They don’t speak intelligibly, which, to be fair, isn’t a bar that all of Hollywood’s leading men reach Minions STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney Director: Pierre Coffin, Kyle Balda RATING: PG PLAYING AT: Galaxy Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes JAKE COYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
S
idekicks rarely shine when thrust into the spotlight, but what about a few hundred of them? The Minions, having been the best part of the two previous Despicable Me movies, have swarmed the screen in Minions. As candidates for centre stage, they are seemingly ill-suited. Slavishly — if rarely competently — devoted lackeys, they’re underlings by both definition and verticality. They don’t speak intelligibly, which, to be fair, isn’t a bar all of Hollywood’s leading men reach. They talk in a bright babble that belies their fondness for colourful phonetics. “Banana” and “pinata” are their kind of words. Their unsuitability for the lead role, or just about anything else, is much of the fun of Minions, a happy henchmen overload that largely succeeds in its simple mission: More Minions! Directed by Pierre Coffin (who co-directed Despicable Me one and two and voices the Minions) and Kyle Balda, Minions begins in fine form. The little yellow ones are already humming the Universal theme as the film begins. With Geoffrey Rush narrating, we get the history of the Minions, which stretches back across eons and begins with them — a curios early mammal — literally walking out of the sea.
Characters, from left, Bob, Kevin and Stuart appear in the animated feature, ‘Minions,’ playing in Nanaimo at the Galaxy Cinemas. [THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]
But the evolution stops there. For thousands of years, we see, they’ve been letting down their evil masters, from a Tyrannosaurus Rex accidentally tipped into a volcano, to Dracula, whom they excitedly wake with a birthday cake and wide-open blinds. The Minions have their own Ice Age, however, ending up leaderless in Antarctica. After a few hundred years, the joy of snow ball fights beginning to dim, three of them — Kevin, Bob and Stuart — set out on a quest to find a new supervillain to idolize. Soon, they’re on their way to
Villain-Con, a riff on Comic-Con only a convention celebrating the likes of Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), an evil world-conqueror in a beehive. The trio inadvertently wins a job in Overkill’s entourage, and they’re soon enmeshed in her plan to take the British throne, along with Overkill’s inventor, Herb (Jon Hamm). There are, it should be noted, more ambitious seats of power to set one’s diabolical sights on. But this is 1960s Swinging London, a colorful if over-familiar backdrop, and the goggle-wear-
ing Minions could just as well be chipper Mods. The irreverent slapstick unfortunately gives way to the kind of action set pieces that have now even corrupted children’s movies. The bombast, though never serious, is still loud enough to, for too long, drown out the best thing the movie has going for it: The chuckles and squeaks of the Minions. It also makes it harder to hear the other key sound accompanying the Minions: the laughter of children. What are the Minions but stand-ins for kids? Mumbling
half-understood words by the mouthful, they plunge headlong into any task, usually wielding a dangerous object they shouldn’t. Nothing makes them double over like a good pratfall, and they will insist on a goodnight kiss or bedtime story. Teaming and relentless, they will melt the heart of any guardian, even a supervillain. Coming on the heels of Pixar’s \ Inside Out, an emotional wallop that most knocks out misty-eyed adults, “Minions” is a different beast. This one’s for the kids.

‘Self/less’ explores ageless idea of immortality Self/less STARRING: Ben Kingsley, Matthew Goode, Ryan Reynolds Director: Tarsem Singh RATING: PG 13 PLAYING AT: Avalon Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 117 minutes BRIAN TRUITT USA TODAY
Who wants to live forever? A bunch of ambitious movie characters. Juan Ponce de Leon may have been looking for the Fountain of Youth back in the 16th century, but pop culture more recently has offered all sorts of ways to explore immortality, from the search for the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to pretty much every vampire movie ever. The new thriller Self/less (in theaters Friday) puts a scientific spin on those themes. Directed by Tarsem Singh (Immortals), the plot centers on wealthy New York industrialist Damian Hale (Ben Kingsley), who is constantly reminded how his cancer-ridden body is failing him. He reaches a Faustian bargain with a secretive organization run by a mysterious doctor (Matthew Goode): For a mere $250 million, he can have his consciousness implanted into a younger, healthier human vessel (that of Ryan Reynolds) through a state-of-the-art process called “shedding.” Damian’s new life goes awry, however, when he begins to have strange visions and learns the morally questionable origins of his buff new body. “How many times does someone’s father say to them, ‘Knowing everything I know now, if I could just be in your body . . .’? This seemed like a delicious way to represent that,” says producer James D. Stern (Looper).

The search for eternal life is a hallmark of movies as diverse as the original Frankenstein, the Brad Pitt drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Blake Lively’s recent The Age of Adaline and even the Twilight saga, says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for the entertainment research company Rentrak. Immortality also knows no boundaries when it comes to genre: Never-ending stories come into play in a light comedy such as Heaven Can Wait, the iconic, weepy Ghost and the cult fantasy series Highlander. “As human beings, we’re often obsessed with the idea of living forever,” Dergarabedian says. “This fascination offers an extremely compelling set of cinematic possibilities and a
foundation for tragedy, comedy, drama, horror and romance to be explored by filmmakers who try to capture the essence of what it means to be immortal.” The science of shedding in the movie seems a little far-fetched, for sure, and it takes a lot more than just transferring consciousness to put someone’s self into a new body, according to Charles Higgins. Higgins, one of the movie’s science experts and a professor of neuroscience and bioelectrical engineering at the University of Arizona, says the whole of a person also includes the enteric (or gut) nervous system, a variety of glands and the spinal cord, which houses fine motor skills such as driving a stick-shift car or playing a guitar. He figures humans will find
a way of prolonging life more than modern medicine already has. “It’s fundamentally doable, but will mankind ever give up on immortality? However long it takes us, we’ll continue to explore it.” The questions that arise around eternal life as in Self/ less are interesting to ask, too, Singh says. The science can get sort of bizarre — and don’t get him started on how creepy organ donation is — but he wonders about quality of life. “Ask young people if they want to live forever, and they always think of it in the wrong sense,” says the director, who is 54. “They think of an older guy whose hip’s not working. And I’d agree: He doesn’t want to live like that forever, either. “But before his body started
committing suicide, he would like to live forever young. That’s the answer. Throughout history, people have always thought, well, how do you achieve that? Do you have baths in virgin blood? No one understands the science until you find (a breakthrough).” With Self/less, it was easy to internalize those themes of immortality, even as a filmmaker. “It sounds sort of attractive,” Singh says. “Coming back in Ryan Reynolds’ body? If I’m Ben Kingsley, I think, ‘Yeah!’ “You have to have be thankful for what you have. Whether it’s the story of Frankenstein or the story of this, you can’t mess with Mother Nature. And obviously bad things happen when you try to do it.”

Timbermen losing streak extended Nanaimo loses 13-11 in overtime to Langley Thunder as their losing streak gets stretched to nine games SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
As painful as it has gotten for the Nanaimo Timbermen, their losing streak is still alive after a 13-11 overtime defeat to the Langley Thunder on the Lower Mainland Tuesday night. It was the ninth loss in a row for the Timbermen, who continue to make their hopes of a playoff spot more difficult to attain. But they do keep getting closer. On Sunday in Nanaimo, the Timbermen came within a goal

Timbermen took their first lead of the game, 11-10, with just 31 seconds left in the game before allowing their opponents to tie it up before taking the win from them in overtime. The Nanaimo offence, at least, came together as best as it had since their opening weekend wins over the now first-place Victoria Shamrocks. Rookie Eli McLaughlin, who didn’t suit up in Sunday’s loss, came back in a big way to lead the Timbermen with three goals and two assists on Tuesday.
His third goal tied the game at 10 late in the third period. Teammate Cody Bremner also had a four-point night with a hat trick, including a goal that was nearly the game-winner and streak-ender in the waning seconds of the game. Former 10th round draft pick and Nanaimo product Mac Johnston also had a solid night with two goals and two assists while Brody Eastwood scored a goal and two assists. Timbermen goalie Zak Boychuk sat out Sunday’s game
in favour of Pete Dubenski, but got back into the net Tuesday to stop 51 of Langleys 64 shots. At 2-9 with seven games left to play, the seventh-place Timbermen are eight points back of the Burnaby Lakers for the Western Lacrosse Association’s fourth and final playoff spot. Their next game is Saturday night on the road against the sixth-place Coquitlam Adanacs before returning to Nanaimo Tuesday to play the Victoria Shamrocks. who have now won 11 straight games.

Spieth settles for MLS teams will get salary boosts familiar John Deere LUKE MEREDITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SILVIS, Ill. — Most golfers believe the path to the British Open title starts a week early in Scotland. Jordan Spieth is content to stay at home and continue his Grand Slam push at the tournament that launched his PGA Tour career. Rather than join the majority of the world’s top golfers and prep for St. Andrews by playing the links course in Gullane, Scotland, Spieth will spend the weekend at the often-overlooked John Deere Classic. It’s not just that Spieth wants to remain loyal to the tournament where he won for the first time in 2013 at age 19. He’s also just very comfortable playing the TPC Deere Run, one of the easiest courses on the tour.

“If I thought I wasn’t going to play well next week because I played here, it would be a different story. I probably wouldn’t be here. This is good preparation for me to get good feels, to get in contention and to find out what’s on and what’s off,” said Spieth, one of just six golfers to win the U.S. Open and the Masters in the same season. “I’m here because I believe I can win this week. I believe it’s advantageous for me to try and win this week.” Spieth’s rapid rise to No. 2 in the world — with injured Rory McIlroy’s top spot within reach as soon as next weekend — has taken many by surprise. Those who watched Spieth’s breakthrough on this Quad Cities course two years ago saw his potential first-hand.
TORONTO — Major League Soccer is revamping its roster rules to help clubs accommodate top talent that doesn’t qualify as designated players. The league’s new initiative, called targeted allocation money, provides clubs with US$500,000 outside this year’s $3,490,000 salary budget to help sign and pay players who are near the top of the salary scale but who are not DPs. Under league rules, teams are allowed up to three designated players. For a designated player over the age of 23, only $436,250 of his salary actually counts against the salary cap. “One area that we believed is of strategic importance for us if we want to drive quality and really push the league to the next level is to find a way to get more players that are in that salary range between $500,000
“This will allow teams to bolster roster slots 4 through 11.“ Todd Durbin, MLS executive
and between $1 million and $1.2 million,” said Todd Durbin, the league’s executive vice-president of competition and player relations. “This will allow teams to bolster roster slots 4 through 11,” he added. The targeted allocation money is $100,000 a year over the next five years but teams can use all or part of the money as of now. The new rule — which was part of the recently negotiated collective bargaining agreement — came into play Wednesday, matching the opening of the North American league’s summer transfer/trade window. The money can also be used to
convert designated players into non-DPs, as long as the team that does so combines the move with signing a DP to replace him at the same or greater investment level. As an example, take a DP who is making $700,000 this season. Only $436,250 counts against the league’s salary budget, so the team’s owner-operator has a remaining bill of $263,750. With the rule kicking in now, the player would have already played half a season so the team would have to pay $131,875 in the second half of the year. The team could use the targeted allocation money to pay that, reducing his salary from DP status. That is expected to happen in Los Angeles with the Galaxy using the new allocation money to buy down U.S. international defender Omar Gonzalez’s DP salary to below the maximum salary budget charge.

Mariners continue to struggle with RISP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Scoring runs has not been a problem lately for the Seattle Mariners. Scoring enough to win has been the issue. Jefry Marte, in his initial big league start after bouncing around the minors for eight years, had an RBI double for his first career hit and added a solo home run that sent the Detroit Tigers over Seattle 5-4 on Wednesday. Down by three early, the Mariners bounced back to tie it 4-all by the fourth. But the Tigers went ahead in the seventh and the Mariners finished 0 for 14 with runners in scoring position. “You certainly would like to be more efficient in those spots,” said Trent Jewett, filling in as Mariners manager with Lloyd McClendon away from the team to attend his sister’s funeral. “We obviously had plenty of opportunities to push a lot more across.” Marte, promoted to the majors Sunday, doubled during Detroit’s three-run second. He also scored his first run that inning. In the fourth, he homered to left on a 2-0 pitch from J.A. Happ to make it 4-2. “So excited — my first career homer in the big leagues,” said the 24-year-old Marte, who planned to give the souvenir ball to his family. The Mariners had at least one baserunner in every inning and put two on in five of them. Even in the ninth, they threatened against closer Joakim Soria, who issued successive two-out walks. Soria then struck out Mark Trumbo, who had three of Seattle’s six hits. “He threw me a nice split to end it,” Trumbo said. Dustin Ackley hit a two-run homer for the Mariners to tie it in the fourth. “We just have to have better at-bats, be ready early in the count and make sure we are squaring those balls up,” he said. “The situation kind of gets the best of us sometimes,” Ackley added.

East switchedtothedeuceofhearts for the queen and ace, on which declarer discarded a diamond.Southswiftlycashed out nine tricks, N-S +400. 3NT was certainly a distasteful call but South declined to bid out his pattern with four clubs. The inherent danger was that 3NT might be the last makeable game contract. North’s heart rebid was not music to South’s ears and he wisely settled upon the nine-trick game. West had made an effective choice as an opening lead. If he begins with a club or a heart South will score ten tricks by bringing home the club suit. South should emerge with eleven tricks at diamonds. West is confronted with a problematic opening shot. A heart or a club will be ineffective. A trump will not work where South could potentially record an overtrick. He tops the king with the ace, ruffs a third round of spades in dummy, discards a spade on the heart ace and takes two club finesses before drawing trump. Five clubs would yield an overtrick when West begins with a trump for lack of a viable alternative. With both minors dividing 3-3 and the club king onside South will record twelve tricks.

Federer, Murray set to meet
Both former Wimbledon champions eased through their quarterfinal matches STEPHEN WILSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Roger Federer is back in familiar territory, closing in on another Wimbledon title. He’ll face a familiar opponent — Andy Murray — for a place in the final. Despite losing serve for the first time all tournament, Federer overwhelmed Gilles Simon 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 on Wednesday to advance to the semifinals at the All England Club for the 10th time, and to the final four of a Grand Slam tournament for the 37th time. Federer, chasing a record eighth Wimbledon title and his 18th Grand Slam championship, will face 2013 champion Murray in Friday’s semifinals. Murray beat Canada’s Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to reach his sixth Wimbledon semifinal. “The road is long getting here,” Federer said. “But still I feel like I’m fresh and I’ve got energy left in the tank for hopefully a great match with Andy and then we’ll see.” Federer has never lost in the Wimbledon semifinals, holding a career 9-0 record. He has a 12-11 career edge over Murray, but the Briton beat him on Centre Court in the final of the 2012 Olympic tournament — a few weeks after Federer defeated Murray in the Wimbledon final for his seventh title. “We both like to look back at that summer — me, not so much at the Olympics; him, probably not so much at Wimbledon,” Federer said. “He played unbelievable in the finals of the Olympics. I’m not going to try to look back at that too much, because he really dominated me in that one.” Murray overpowered Federer in straight sets in the Olympic match, but since then, Federer has won four of their last six meetings, including the last three.
“I know Roger very well,” Murray said. “We’ve played each other many times. We saw each other this morning; walked to the practice courts together and stuff. We get on well. But obviously on Friday, different story.” In the other quarterfinal matches, defending champion Novak Djokovic was playing U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic, and French Open winner Stan Wawrinka was up against Richard Gasquet. Federer put on another vintage grass-court display Wednesday to take Simon apart in just over 90 minutes on Court 1 in a match that was interrupted twice by rain delays. “The stop-and-gos are tough,” Federer said. “You never know how you’re going to come back from them, but I think I used them to my advantage. Either I stayed ahead or I was able to

Jordan will now return to L.A. Clippers
McIlroy pulls out of British Open
SCHUYLER DIXON AND JON KRAWCZYNSKI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — DeAndre Jordan has backed out of a verbal agreement with the Dallas Mavericks to remain with the Los Angeles Clippers. Jordan made the switch after a face-to-face meeting at his Houston home with a contingent of Clippers including Blake Griffin and Paul Pierce, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the NBA’s ban on public comments before players can sign contracts, starting at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday. The Clippers announced Jordan’s deal late Wednesday night. They also sent out a tweet welcoming Jordan back to Los Angeles. “WE’RE OFFICIALLY CENTERED,” the tweet read. It was a surprising reversal for Jordan, the defensive pillar who agreed to a four-year, $80 million deal with the Mavericks last week.

make the difference. The breaks actually rather helped me than hindered me.” The second-seeded Swiss served 11 aces, broke five times, had 36 winners and thoroughly dominated a player he has now beaten six straight times. The only surprise came when Simon broke Federer — at love no less — to draw even at 5-5 in the second set. It was the first time Federer had been broken after 67 service games at Wimbledon, a streak that stretched to 116 games when including his title run at the grass-court tournament in Halle, Germany. Not to be rattled, Federer broke Simon in the very next game. After rain suspended play at 6-5, 15-0, Federer finished the set with a service winner, ace, ace. Federer broke twice in the final set. “Reaction was always going to be important for me once the
DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rory McIlroy pulled out of the British Open at St. Andrews on Wednesday with an ankle injury, the first time in 61 years the defending champion will not be playing. McIlroy made the announcement by posting a photo on Instagram that showed his left ankle in an air cast, propped up as he watched Wimbledon on television. That will be his only view of St. Andrews next week, a blow to the world’s No. 1 player and to the oldest championship in golf. McIlroy said he ruptured a ligament in his left ankle over the weekend while playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland. He was hopeful that he would recover in time for The Open, but decided two days later it was not worth risking a full recovery. “After much consideration, I have decided not to play in the Open Championship at St. Andrews,” McIlroy said. “I’m taking a long-term view of this injury and, although rehab is progressing well, I want to come back to tournament play when I feel 100 per cent healthy and 100

per cent competitive.” He said he hoped to be back to golf as soon as he could. Ben Hogan in 1954 was the last British Open champion who did not defend. Hogan, who was nearly killed in an automobile accident in 1949, won the only British Open he played in 1953 at Carnoustie. “We are naturally very disappointed that Rory will be unable to defend his title at St. Andrews next week,” the R&A said in a statement. “Rory will play in many more Open Championships and our primary concern is for his complete recovery.” He was replaced in the field
streak ended and the serve was broken,” he said. “I think I was able to do that. Gilles is obviously a quality return player and the game I got broken, he was too good, so no problem to accept that.” Murray never lost serve, saving the one break point he faced, and broke Pospisil three times and had only 13 unforced errors. He extended his record to 4-0 against the Canadian, all in straight sets. Pospisil twice was warned by the chair umpire for taking too much time between his service points. The second cost him a first serve in the ninth game of the third set, and Murray broke. “I think a lot of times these umpires, they seem to just want to be seen,” said the Canadian, who also hit a desperation between-the-legs shot that was returned for a winner by Murray. “I don’t know why they do it at a time like that.”
by Russell Knox, who grew up in Inverness in the north of Scotland and will be making his Open debut. Still to be determined is how long the ankle injury keeps McIlroy out of golf. He also is the defending champion in the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone on Aug. 6-9, and the PGA Championship the following week at Whistling Straits. McIlroy finished one shot out of a playoff when the PGA Championship was last held there in 2010. His absence makes Jordan Spieth the favourite at St. Andrews in his quest for the Grand Slam. Spieth is only the fourth player since 1960 to have won the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same year. “We want him back. Everybody does,” Spieth said Tuesday at the John Deere Classic. “It’s unlucky, it’s unfortunate, and I’m sure he’s taking it harder on himself than anybody else. But I don’t think he did anything wrong, it was just an unfortunate situation. “And hopefully, he rebounds quickly and gets back right to where he was.”
Speak honestly to son about wedding plans Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My son is divorced and will be marrying again soon. His fiancee has never been married. I like her and am happy for both of them. Here is the problem: When he married the first time, my husband and I paid for all of the customary groom things — the rehearsal dinner, the bar tab, the minister, and so on. For this wedding, we told him we would give him a specific amount to use for whatever he wishes. We are getting some bad vibes about this. We were asked to make out a guest list, so we did.
When I gave it to my son, he asked why it was so small. Annie, I don’t think I should expect everyone to come to a second wedding. I listed only close friends and family. Also, since we aren’t paying for the wedding, we don’t feel right inviting a bunch of people. Weddings should be about the words you say and the ceremony, and less about the party. We are happy he is getting married, but we don’t believe in big weddings. We will, of course, support whatever they do and attend with bells on. My husband and I have been married for 34 years and believe in for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and health. What is your opinion? — O. Dear O.: Please have an open discussion with your son and his bride. Explain that since this is a second wedding invitation for your family and friends,
you don’t feel it is appropriate to have a large guest list. Also, because you are not financing the wedding, you don’t wish to obligate the couple or the bride’s parents with additional expenses. They need to know that your small guest list is for reasons of propriety, not because you aren’t happy about the wedding. Your son and his bride may ask you to increase the guest list anyway, and that is up to you. (We don’t advise upsetting the bridal couple.) There is so much stress surrounding weddings. By speaking honestly and directly with your son and his fiancee, it will help to limit mixed messages and hard feelings. Dear Annie: “Love Her” seems like a caring, loving husband, but I think he is still a bit clueless. He says, “I consider it a privilege to do things for her.” That indicates that he believes doing laundry, washing dishes, going
grocery shopping and other chores are for HER, and that he is helping her out. Why is it so many men do not believe that these things are as much their responsibility as they are for the women they live with? Don’t they wear clothes, use dishes, eat food? When will couples realize that all the things required to run a household are the responsibility of both people in the household? Obviously, chores should be adjusted to reflect the time available and the skills necessary, and that should be discussed. Hopefully, an equitable resolution is reached without the inference that something is “her job,” but he’ll “help” because he loves her. — Not a Feminist, a Partner Dear Partner: A lot of readers made this point, and it’s a good one. It takes time to adjust the old-fashioned attitude that household chores are “her” job, but society is getting there.
HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19) Put your best foot forward, and remain optimistic. A challenging associate who tends to have a bit of an attitude is not news to you. Express that you are making solid choices, and also be flexible with a changing situation. Tonight: Be more forthright about shared funds. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel a bit out of sorts as you try to switch gears. Keep your mind on what you need to do in order to manifest more of your desires. Don’t hesitate to throw your thoughts and feelings into the mix. Tonight: Let your mind relax to a good movie. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the earlier part of the day for a heartfelt pleasure. Someone will manifest more of what you want. Listen to what you are hearing, but understand that you don’t need to internalize it. A request from a friend could make you feel uncomfortable. Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are on top of your game, and others seem to understand that you know what you are doing. Your actions are likely to be greeted with success. Listen to what is being shared. You will be much happier with more support. Tonight: Touch base with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Remain upbeat. How you visualize a situation might be much different from how others see it. You come from a different space and are able to detach from the here and now. As a result, your perspective is unique. Return messages early in the day. Tonight: Mosey on home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could well be looking at making a major change. Travel might be on the horizon. Your perspective is likely to change if you decide to visit far-off places. You also will be able to accept others’ differences more easily. Tonight: Try something totally new. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating continues to be the way to go. You might feel as if there is a major difference in opinion regarding what goes on. Listen to needed feedback from someone you respect. Do more to stay on top of a personal matter. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be tired and withdrawn. You might not be sure which direction you should head in. Understand what makes this a different situation, and allow someone you respect to run it. You will achieve a lot more than you originally thought possible. Tonight: Where people are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others find you to be irresistible and full of fun. At some point, you will realize that you have forgotten to run an important errand. Once you shift gears, you will make this a priority. You might want to wait several days to negotiate a money matter. Tonight: Ever playful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to rethink a situation more carefully in order to move forward. Someone you care about enormously will let you know where he or she is coming from. Think carefully before you act; you will find a better way to get where you need to go. Tonight: Happy at home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll want to do something in a simpler way than you have in the past. Make calls and be brief in how you deal with others. You could feel a bit intimidated by a situation. You might be up for a change of pace. Deal with a personal matter as soon as possible. Tonight: Make it cozy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep a conversation moving, and remain sure of yourself. Your ability to get past a problem emerges. Do your best to stay centered. Money matters could be more positive than you thought they would be. Be ready to negotiate. Tonight: Catch up on some gossip. YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 9) This year you open up to fast changes and more excitement. You never seem to know what is going to happen next. Your public image will be far more important than it has been in the past, and you will open up to new opportunities. Success comes from your diligence. If you are single, you will meet someone who could make a big difference to your life. You won’t need to work on getting to know this person; it will happen naturally. If you are attached, the two of you often are seen out and about. You likely share not only the same group of friends, but a mutual hobby as well. TAURUS often grounds you when you are emotional.
