Crohn’s disease won’t stop teen’s summer camp trip
Province calls on cities to aid small business SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
For Ashtyn it turned into a skin infection, which turned into a bone infection, which resulted in surgery. She spent two weeks in the hospital and four months later she’s still on antibiotics. The original antibiotics that doctors gave her turned toxic and she almost died. Through the healing process Ashtyn has had two CAT scans, two ultrasounds, two bone scans, X-rays, IV’s at the children’s hospital and home IV’s. “My thumb’s doing good now,” Ashtyn said. Ashtyn said she’s excited to attend the camp, which is operated near Bragg Creek, Alta. It runs from July 26 to 31.
Some municipalities need to do more to support small business development, according to Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for tourism and small business. Yamamoto was in Parksville Friday for a tour of small businesses in the city’s downtown. She was joined by Parksville and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Kim Burden, city Mayor Marc Lefebvre and fellow cabinet minister and Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell. The province is promoting its annual Open for Business Awards, which provides $10,000 to municipalities that meet the province’s criteria for small business development. The award must be used to fund a local program that supports or provides incentives for small business. Parksville was one of nine cities and towns to win the award last year. The deadline to enter this year’s awards closed Friday. She said municipalities should follow business-friendly suit by lowering the tax burden and taking other measures like reducing “red tape.” “Building permits and permitting is one of the biggest beefs that I hear from small businesses,” she said during breakfast at a local café. Yamamoto said it is up to individual cities and towns to develop programs or policies to attract certain sectors to set up shop. “But, what’s kind of nice is we’re actually seeing small businesses happening in communities outside of the Lower Mainland that are into high tech, that are in tourism, that are eco-tourism based,” she said. “A lot of new businesses that we didn’t even have on radar 10 years ago.” NDP critic for small business Nicholas Simons did not return a request for comment.

Condition can be highly debilitating in some cases AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS
F
or some teens, going off to summer camp is just part of growing up, but for Ashtyn Lively it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Ashtyn was accepted into the first-ever western Canada Camp Got-2-Go, which is a summer camp geared for children and teens living with crohn’s or colitis. Ashtyn was diagnosed with crohn’s disease when she was seven years old. Her condition makes it nearly impossible for her to attend sleepovers, let alone a summer camp experience. She’s 16 years old now and has been through hell and back fighting the disease, but she’s always managed to keep a smile on her face.

“If I’m sitting in a hospital room waiting for surgery I’m still smiling. But, I don’t know, I think the hardest part is maybe the doctors don’t understand how much pain I’m in,” Ashtyn said. She said a issue with Crohn’s disease is that a lot of people don’t want to talk about it. “It’s a disease that has a stigma, it’s seen as a bathroom disease.” In fact, it’s a disease that can affect a person from head to toe, and varies case-by-case. In Ashtyn’s case it’s centred in the small intestine of the stomach. “When you get mouth ulcers, that’s what happens all the way down for her,” said Ashtyn’s mother, Cheryl Lively.
“It goes into states of remission and then flares. When Ashtyn has an active flare for a long time the ulcers scab over and they don’t heal properly in the small or large intestine.” When Ashtyn goes through a flareup she’s completely debilitated. “The pain has been described as chewing on broken glass,” Cheryl said. Ashtyn has had a few lifesaving surgeries over the years and has had “quite a bit” of her small intestine removed. Talking with Ashtyn, you would never know she’s dealing with such a traumatic condition. She carries herself in a cheerful manner, even when discussing the time she almost died after a hangnail became infected last March. For most people, it would be a non-issue.

Warnings as dry conditions return With increasing awareness, more people are reporting careless smokers who may spark a wildfire DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Before flicking that cigarette butt, smokers should keep in mind others are watching. Hot weather is returning to the Island, and with it comes worry among firefighters about a rise in the number of human caused fires. But the public is fighting back. With rising awareness, more and more people are reporting careless smokers. “Because people are concerned,
people are reporting it, which is good,” said Marg Drysdale, fire information officer with the Coastal Fire Service. “People are phoning in with licence plate numbers, they’re recording it with their dash cams.” The fire service even gets reports of general vehicle descriptions, which can be difficult to trace. But Drysdale said emergency workers are glad to see members of the public work together to
stop those responsible for preventable fires. In the driest summer in recent memory, the B.C. Forest Service has counted 129 fires to date. The 10-year average is 82. Of those, 97 are human caused, compared to 65 on average. “It is a concern because we have been hot and dry the last month-and-a-half and we have issued all kinds of warnings, Environment Canada has issued warnings, other parts of our ministry have issued warnings
and we continue to have peoplecaused fires,” Drysdale said. Recent human-caused Island fires include a 20-hectare blaze in North Oyster, the 450-hectare Dog Mountain fire near Port Alberni and the 16-hectare fire near homes in Port Hardy. “We’re still getting reports of people firing butts out windows,” Drysdale said. City of Nanaimo firefighters share that concern. “Our big concern right now is just be aware, don’t toss a ciga-
rette out, use an ashtray,” said Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention captain. “They’re not even butting them out. It’s common sense — put them out and don’t put them somewhere it will start a fire.” The entire Island south of Departure Bay was at extreme fire hazard rating, while north of that was at high on Friday.

CITY LOG News and notes from around Nanaimo
PARK(ing) day event returns in September Spencer Anderson Reporting
T
he city is looking for participants for its upcoming PARK(ing) day event on September 18. The event, now in its second year, sees parking spaces in the downtown core on Commercial Street turned into ‘mini cultural spaces’ where people can relax, look at arts and take part in other activities. Similar events also take place in other cities across the world. Nanaimo is inviting organizations, families and other groups to submit proposals for the event by Aug. 18, as only a limited number of spaces are available. The pitches should include space design concepts, theme, and proposed activities on the site. People interested in taking part can email cultureandheritage@ nanaimo.ca or phone 250-755-4483 for information.
Green Nominees wanted Nominations are open for this year’s Green Nanaimo Awards. The awards are held every two years and aim to recognize individuals, businesses, schools and organizations in the city who make valuable contributions toward protecting and enhancing Nanaimo’s natural environment.

A new Aboriginal Sport Program has been has been set up in the city, thanks to a joint effort from PacificSport Vancouver Island, the Young Professionals of Nanaimo, and the BC Aboriginal Sport Recreation and Physical Activity Partners Council and the Nanaimo Foundation. The YPN and Nanaimo Foundation each contributed $20,000 for the program, aimed at giving aboriginal youth a chance to take part in sports who might otherwise be unable to because
of transportation and cost. The other organizations helped secure funding and organize the program. “The aboriginal community makes up five per cent of the region’s population, however they are disproportionately underrepresented in mainstream community sport,” said Drew Cooper, general manager of PacificSport Vancouver Island. “PacificSport saw this as a fantastic way to collaborate in order to increase capacity within the aboriginal sport community while building physical literacy opportunity for kids.” The project will be delivered in four phases, including training

Tory words are coming back to haunt them
F
or those who need some reminding, here’s an excerpt from what the Tories called their blue book, the federal party’s platform heading into the 2006 election: “After 12 years in power, the Liberals must be held accountable for the stolen money; accountable for the broken trust, and accountable for all that they failed to accomplish because of this government’s total preoccupation with scandal and damage control.” Fast-forward to 2015 as Canadians head into another election, and one has to wonder if these words are going to come back to haunt Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Scandal and damage control seem to be this government’s raison d’etre, as it bobs and weaves its way around the Senate scandal, the robocall debacle and ongoing concerns about public money being spent on par-
tisan activities. And let’s not get started on Bill C-51, the changes to the Citizenship Act or allegations of voter suppression for First Nations. Then there’s news from the Globe and Mail this week that 83 per cent of the projects funded through the New Building Canada fund has gone to Conservative-held ridings with the announcements being made just now, two months ahead of the October vote. This despite the fact the program was unveiled in 2013. More funding announcements were made Thursday, potentially hiking that percentage up even higher. It’s pork barrelling, plain and simple and while it’s not endemic just to Conservatives, it instills cynicism particularly toward a government that said it was going to do better. “For those Canadians seeking accountability the question is clear: which party can deliv-
er the change of government that’s needed to ensure political accountability in Ottawa?” Well, the Conservatives were supposed to. Two Manitoba ridings were granted funding under the New Building Canada fund, according to the Infrastructure Canada website, both of which are to build sewage treatment plants. One is in Virden, represented by Tory MP Larry Maguire (Brandon-Souris), and the other is Thompson, in NDP MP Niki Ashton’s riding of Churchill. So there’s less evidence of outright partisan behaviour in Manitoba with this specific fund. However, when you look at the funding announcements made available by the government for infrastructure projects that fall under the New Building Canada plan (the umbrella program that includes the fund), a pattern of rewarding the Conservative ridings in Manitoba emerges. Four
projects are in two Conservative ridings: Brandon-Souris and Selkirk-Interlake. Mr. McGuire scored again with the governments of Manitoba and Canada jointly providing $510,665 with additional funding from the U.S. to upgrade the International Peace Garden. MP James Bezan (Selkirk-Interlake) is the big winner, as Arborg and Dunnottar and Gimli all received funding. Arborg got $2,07 million from the governments of Canada and Manitoba and $230,000 from municipal sources for flood protection. Arborg and Dunnottar got funding from all three levels of government for multi-use pathways. And Gimli gets a new handi-transit bus with the feds contributing $25,556 toward the total cost of $35,000. There were no other news releases made available for ridings not held by Conservative MPs in Manitoba, which really ramps up the cynicism vibe.
It’s called the Build Canada plan, not the Build the Tory Ridings plan. With these announcements made so close to the federal election, it comes off as just a bit too calculated and the antithesis of what this government campaigned so ardently against back in 2006 before forming government. “We need a change of government to replace old-style politics with a new vision. We need to replace a culture of entitlement and corruption with a culture of accountability. We need to replace benefits for a privileged few with government for all.” Strong words indeed. Shame that the Tories seem to have forgotten them.

Actually, council voted to do the necessary studies before any work is to be done. The city still needs to verify the capacity of the spillway, review the storm frequency calculations and determine the risks associated with flooding and overtopping. This work has never being done to anyones satisfaction (including the engineers involved). Without this information one can’t make a determination about the necessity of doing anything or the scope of what needs to be done, if something does need to be done. These reports, if done properly, will not be long. I can’t imaging anyone of them longer the two pages. They might have a lot of data and calculations in the appendices, but the reports will be readable and direct. Because we have to wait for rainfall to add water to the spillways the work will have to be completed sometime this winter. This is work that should have
Vote-buying efforts not a ‘sound economic plan’ Re: ‘Canadians in need of sound economic plan’ (Daily News, Editorial, July 14) We could all benefit from a “sound economic plan” but it’s ludicrous to consider the vote buying attempts by all political parties prior to an election as sound economics. The promises being made are for social programs, not economic plans. The left-leaning Toronto Star editorialists prefer the Tommy Mulcair/Justin Trudeau plans regardless of how incoherent and costly they are. All of the editorials talking points came from opposition party play books. Trudeau has given no indication that he knows or cares what his promises would cost. He’s after the “middle class” vote with no idea of what “middle class” really is.
Mulcair thinks that higher corporate taxes (a proven job killer) will pay for his promises. Yet, during a recent CBC interview, he didn’t even know what the current Canadian rate is. Perhaps we shouldn’t expect economic sense from a Quebec lawyer. The editorial avoided international affairs where, in an increasingly dangerous world, we need tough, intelligent and capable leadership. NDP pacifism and Trudeau’s foppishness would be embarrassments for Canada but a delight for political cartoonists. Jim Corder Nanaimo
Base city water charges on consumption alone Many of your readers are rightly concerned about water conservation efforts. I wonder how many residents realize that each residence that is directly attached to a water meter pays a basic charge of $74 ($100 or so in Ladysmith I believe) whether or not any water is consumed. So a residence with only one
occupant is paying the same fee as an apartment block. There should not be any basic charge at all. All this means is the city gets paid for doing nothing and people who do try and conserve water are subsidizing those who do not. Check your last user fee bill and see for yourselves. There should only be a fee based on the amount of consumption, so the less used means less to pay. The city should increase the user charge, so if you want a green lawn, then you will have to pay for it. The way society regulates gas consumption or cigarette usage is through consumption taxes and water should be no different. Hopefully our newly minted city councillors will be reviewing way that water is being charged.

WILDWOOD PROPERTY
Court case may alter status of TLC lands Bylaw meant to ensure properties’ protected status in perpetuity is now seen as obstacle to sale DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
The protected status of two unique mid-Island properties could well hang on the outcome of an application by The Land Conservancy in the Supreme Court of B.C. later this month. TLC, which is burdened with $8 million in debt, intends to liquidate lands it was entrusted to protect, so as to pay down that debt, while maintaining the protected status of those lands. A TLC bylaw meant to ensure properties’ protected status in perpetuity is now seen as an obstacle. A so-called “inalienability provision” protects a land by pre-

The goal is to include provisions to keep properties protected, but that depends on the court’s decision. TLC included such clauses on the Wildwood demonstration forest in Cedar, managed for decades by the late Merv Wilkinson, and South Winchelsea Island, off Nanoose Bay. “We don’t need permission to sell the properties,” said John Shields, TLC operations manager. “What we do need is for the judge to look at the obstacle of a TLC bylaw originally (written) to protect a longstanding ecological property.” Twenty-six of 28 properties are poised to go to the Nature

tion stability is a key. The recovery strategy for Vancouver Island marmots, last updated in 2008, sets a target population range of 400 to 600 animals. “Not only is it (population) size and distribution the strategy describes, but those populations should be stable and increasing,” Jackson said. Allan Hawryzki, a retired biologist who fought for marmot conservation in the 1970s, said he’s “delighted” with progress, but worries about maintaining public interest. “Once something goes off the radar and we don’t hear about it anymore, there is less pressure on government, and that concerns me,” Hawryzki said.

The Vancouver Island marmot remains endangered, but progress has been made to boost populations of the plump, furry rodents. Four decades of work by scientists and volunteers, provincial grants and donations all helped improve the ground squirrels’ chances of survival. In 1975, best estimates put the total number of marmots on all of Vancouver Island at 160 animals. “Now we’re talking 300 overall,” said Cheyney Jackson, field coordinator with Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation. Unlike many threatened species that have shrinking populations, the marmots are becoming more numerous.
Marmot populations are concentrated in three areas: Nanaimo Lakes, Forbidden Plateau and the Western Strathcona area. To increase marmot populations, the animals are bred in captivity at the Calgary and Toronto zoos. That program has allowed volunteers to re-introduce as many as 80 new marmot pups into the wilds. The greatest successes have been recorded in the Nanaimo Lakes area, with about half the Island’s total population. Strathcona Park is at higher elevations and has more predators, and those factors may explain why the program isn’t as successful there. Jackson said determining the threshold for removal of a species from the endangered list depends on many factors, but popula-

Earlier this year TLC got court approval to transfer ownership of a number of properties in order to get out from under its debt. The bylaw now stands in the way of that happening. “We are meeting to ask the judge for agreement that that clause does not apply for properties which the court has approved for sale,” Shields said. Two groups plan to attend court to watch the outcome, the grassroots Wildwood Protectors, and the Eco-forestry Institute Society, created to look after the property.

Premier wades into national unity debate Says Parti Quebecois will fail in effort to break up Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Premier Christy Clark waded into the national unity debate Friday, dismissing the chances of the Parti Quebecois reigniting separatist fervour in the province. Speaking at meetings of Canada’s premiers in St. John’s, N.L., Clark said the PQ had failed in past attempts to break up Canada and wouldn’t have any more success in the future. She said that’s because Quebecers are no different from British Columbians. “There is a generation of people who are forward looking
global citizens who are interested in creating wealth, building their lives, being able to be a part of the world — not just a part of Quebec or a part of Canada,” said Clark. Clark said she thinks issues of governance and the Constitution are less important to Canadians, who are interested in how the country participates globally. Quebec is also a different place than it was 20 or 30 years ago, she added. PQ Leader Pierre Karl Peladeau became leader of the party in May and immediately reiterated that he will settle for nothing less in the future than an independent Quebec.
But Clark doesn’t think he will achieve his goal. “I know that Monsieur Peladeau has great ambitions,” she said. “I think he is going to see those ambitions unsatisfied in the long-term.” Peladeau later issued a statement in which he said Quebecers — and only Quebecers — will decide their future. “We have the deep conviction that full political and economic freedom will allow us to enrich ourselves collectively,” the statement said. “In being a country, we will be able to make our own decisions and be in control of our development.”
DAWSON CREEK — Witness video has emerged and appears to show the aftermath of a fatal RCMP shooting outside a public hearing for the contentious Site C dam in Dawson Creek. In the video posted on Facebook, two officers with their guns drawn are standing over a man in a grey hoodie while he is slumped on the ground. “The cops just . . . shot this guy,” says a man in a profanity-filled narrative as he records the video. “He’s . . . dead. There’s blood everywhere.” The video appears to have been taken on a cellphone from a room in the Stonebridge Hotel overlooking the Fixx Urban Grill restaurant where a BC Hydro public information session took place. One officer appears to kick something away from the man although the object cannot be seen. The man moves slightly on the ground before becoming still as blood pools beneath him. Sirens can be heard in the background as a third Mountie arrives. One of the officers appears to bring the man’s hands behind his back to handcuff him. Police appear to check his vital signs before opening the trunk of a cruiser and starting to administer first aid about two minutes into the video. Several other officers eventually appear. One crouches near a cruiser with a long gun just before the video ends. British Columbia’s police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office, has begun investigating the shooting but has provided few details. IIO spokeswoman Kellie Kilpat-
“Our information from police is that he was non-compliant with their directions and an altercation took place and he was shot.” Kellie Kilpatrick, IIO spokeswoman
rick said Dawson Creek RCMP responded at around 6:30 p.m. Thursday to a report of a man creating a disturbance and destroying property. “The individual was escorted from the event and subsequently came into contact with police just outside,” she said. “Our information from police is that he was non-compliant with their directions and an altercation took place and he was shot.” A six-member team flew to Dawson Creek on Friday morning. Kilpatrick said a forensic specialist was to take over the scene while investigators spoke with witnesses and secured any video. Kilpatrick said it was early in the investigation and she had no further details on the confrontation between the man and police, including whether he was armed. She said the IIO would not identify the officers and that the BC Coroners Service would release the dead man’s name. The meeting in Dawson Creek was the last of five public consultations on the Site C dam held in the province this month. » We want to hear from you.

OIL SPILL
Nexen says warning system failed Staff have been on site to contain the spill and prevent impact on Alberta wildlife and a nearby lake “We’re always concerned when petroleum products get spilled into the environment. There’s always damage, and it’s usually permanent of some nature.”
IAN BICKIS THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Nexen Energy apologized Friday for a major leak in an Alberta pipeline that was only installed last year and said a warning system didn’t detect it. Ron Bailey, the company’s senior vice-president of Canadian operations, said it is investigating what caused the pipeline to rupture and why the system failed. “We are deeply concerned with this and we sincerely apologize for the impact that this has caused,” Bailey told a news conference. “We will take every step that we see as reasonable and as the regulators help us decide what to do to respond to this.” A contractor discovered the leak Wednesday near Nexen’s Long Lake oilsands facility about 35 kilometres southeast of Fort McMurray, Alta. Nexen shut down the pipeline, but not before some five million litres of bitumen, produced water and sand spilled into muskeg. Nexen, which was taken over by China’s CNOOC Ltd. in 2013, says the affected area is about 16,000 square metres, mostly along the pipeline’s route.

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Canada’s premiers reached a deal Friday on a national energy strategy that supports both project development and the need to act on climate change, ending days of bickering over finding a balance between economic growth and environmental protection. A communique released after the premiers met in St. John’s, N.L., states the strategy provides the foundation for provinces and territories to work on energy priorities. It says the provinces and territories are better positioned to develop and transport energy and promote research and technology that will enhance the energy sector and encourage the transition to a lower carbon economy. It also says Canada’s energy future requires policies that send a strong signal across the economy to enhance energy efficiency, lower the carbon footprint and support technological innovation. Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall cut a solitary figure at times during this week’s meeting as he pushed his colleagues to give greater emphasis to the economic importance of the oil and gas sector. He took aim at Ontario and Quebec, arguing their positions dismissed lucrative oil and gas resources while they benefit from the equalization funds the industry helps raise. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said pipelines are still the safest way to transport oil and gas, and safety is part of the energy strategy. “The strategy itself refers, of course, to the need to not only develop our energy resources responsibly and safely but to transport them responsibly and safely,” she added. “And we’re all committed to that objective.” Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne expressed her support for the environmental protections in the strategy, saying the premiers achieved the right balance. B.C. Premier Christy Clark used her experience to promote the agreement, saying the province has had a carbon tax for seven years and it hasn’t damaged the economy.

Mote, who recently was voted “Top Piano/ Keyboard Player of the Year” at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, began playing piano at the age of 3 and toured with his family’s singing group until his undeniable talent made him an award winning Nashville sessions player (Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Rascal Flatts, Lionel Richie, Alison Krauss). Mote recently wrapped up a six-year stint singing and playing for the popular Gaither Homecoming concerts and recordings so that he could devote more time to his family and expanding solo career.

about 2.7 million litres of condensate at an oilfield in northwestern Alberta. Condensate is used to dilute heavy oil so it can flow through pipelines. In 2011, about 4.5 million litres of oil leaked from a Plains Midstream pipeline into marshlands near the northern Alberta community of Little Buffalo. Melina Laboucan-Massimo, a Greenpeace campaigner from Little Buffalo, said she was disappointed to hear of another spill. She said she still remembers the impact the Plains spill had on her family. “My family had been calling and texting me saying their eyes were burning, their stomachs were turning, they were feeling noxious, they couldn’t breath,” she said. “That’s what happens when big, five million litre spills like this happen.” Bailey said there are no residences near this most recent spill, with the closest community, the hamlet of Anzac, sitting about 15 km north.

Islamic State is biggest worry for new top soldier Gen. Jonathan Vance says militants can’t go unchallenged MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The menace posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is the conflict that keeps Canada’s new top military commander awake at night. Gen. Jonathan Vance, who took over as the country’s 19th chief of defence staff on Friday, says the rise of an extremist state is not something that can go unchallenged by the West. “The most worrying one right now, the most threatening is the Islamic State,” Vance said in an interview with The Canadian Press. Countries in the region that are trying to develop democratic institutions and the rule of law cannot do so with a caliphate, bent on exporting terror, smack in the middle of them, he said. His geo-political take stands in
contrast to recent comments by the incoming chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, who described a resurgent Russia as the biggest threat. Dunford told his confirmation hearing before the U.S. Congress last week that Vladimir Putin’s regime is a nuclear power with the capability of violating the sovereignty of other nations. “If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I’d have to point to Russia,” Dunford told U.S. senators. “If you look at their behaviour, it’s nothing short of alarming.” Asked to list the major security threat facing Washington, Dunford told lawmakers that Russia was on top, followed by China and North Korea. The Islamic State was in fourth place.
Vance did not stack the threats to Canada. He has said the country’s contribution to checking Russian ambitions in eastern Europe is significant and will remain so, but the Islamic State has shown its willingness to create terror on Canadian soil. The Harper government alternates between the Islamic State and Russia in terms of its political rhetoric; and Vance’s comments provide an interesting glimpse into how the military sees the landscape ahead of this fall’s election where issues of national security are expected to be front and centre. In the interview, conducted prior to his swearing in, Vance said he has confidence that the current government will not “over-commit” the Canadian Forces in terms of international engagements.
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Premier Kathleen Wynne says Prime Minister Stephen Harper is playing politics by refusing to co-operate with Ontario’s new pension plan, and warns voters will question his motives in the upcoming election campaign. “It’s a disappointing political move on the prime minister’s part,” Wynne said Friday after Finance Minister Joe Oliver sent a letter rejecting Ontario’s request for federal help in administering its new pension plan. “I have no idea why Prime Minister Harper would want to make one of his last actions before he goes into an election — or maybe one of his last actions as prime minister — obstructing the retirement security of the people of Ontario,” added Wynne. Speaking after the annual premiers’ conference in Newfoundland and Labrador, Wynne said her colleagues agreed to again look at enhancing the Canada Pension Plan, which remains her preferred option over creating a provincial plan. “It is a live discussion across the country,” she said. “It’s not just about Ontario.” The federal government has the infrastructure to administer the CPP, and Ontario believes a fee-for-service agreement with Ottawa would be the most efficient way to implement its pension plan. The province said it is looking at other options. Wynne vowed to proceed with its implementation, even without assistance from the Conservative government. “I think it’s very unfortunate, because what it does is threaten to make the whole process more complicated,” Wynne said. “That is a real challenge for the people of Ontario to understand why the prime minister would want to make a process being put in place to make their retirement more secure more complicated.” The Conservatives have made no secret of their opposition to
WYNNE
an Ontario pension plan, but Oliver upped the ante Thursday with his letter warning Ottawa will not co-operate with the province in any way. “The Ontario government’s ORPP would take money from workers and their families, kill jobs and damage the economy,” wrote Oliver. “Administration of the ORPP will be the sole responsibility of the Ontario government, including the collection of contributions.” Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown said his federal cousins were right to try and block the ORPP because of the costs it would impose on businesses, noting 150 companies signed a letter saying the pension, energy prices and a proposed cap-and-trade system are creating a hostile climate for businesses. “When you see companies like General Motors and Ford signing that letter, saying this will kill jobs in Ontario, we should all be concerned,” said Brown. Oliver said the feds would also refuse any legislative changes for the provincial pension to be treated like the CPP and would not integrate it within contribution limits for Registered Retirement Savings Plans. Under the Ontario pension plan, which was approved in legislation in April, workers will have to contribute 1.9 per cent of their pay, to a maximum of $1,643 a year, which employers will have to match for every employee.

Greece and Europe push ahead to seal bailout deal Next step is to negotiate details on getting the cash flowing ELENA BECATOROS AND GEIR MOULSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS — Greece’s proposed bailout cleared further key hurdles Friday after German lawmakers overwhelmingly gave their backing to another financial rescue and the European Union said it would release a short-term loan to ensure Athens avoids a debt default. The developments, along with the Greek parliament’s approval early Thursday of creditor-demanded austerity measures, contributed to a positive initial assessment from Europe’s bailout fund. In a statement, the European Stability Mechanism said it approved a “decision to grant, in principle, stability support to Greece in the form of a loan program.” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, meanwhile, reshuffled his cabinet after a rebellion earlier this week in his party’s ranks over the austerity measures, replacing two ministers who voted against him and changing another eight ministers and deputy ministers. Though the broad outlines of the Greek bailout were agreed Monday by the eurozone’s 19 leaders, the ESM’s decision formally kick-starts the process by which Greece begins negotiating the details. The discussions, which are expected to last four weeks, will

include economic targets and reforms deemed necessary in return for an anticipate $93 billion over three years. “This agreement offers a chance to put the Greek economy back on track,” said Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the eurozone’s top official who also chairs the ESM board. “It’s not going to be easy. We are certain to encounter problems in the years to come. But I believe we will be able to resolve them.” In recent weeks the Greek economy, which is around a quarter smaller than it was back in 2008 following a brutal recession, has suffered a number of shocks with the country’s euro future on the line. The hope now is that the banks,
which have been shut for the past three weeks, will reopen soon — possibly as early as Monday — and that the paltry 60-euros a day withdrawal limit at ATMs will be raised. The first big development Friday was the news that German lawmakers, in the wake of their Austrian counterparts, voted 439119 in favour of opening detailed discussions on the bailout package. Chancellor Angela Merkel had warned them Greece would face chaos without a deal. That was later followed by confirmation that the 28-country EU will release a loan of 7.16 billion ($7.7 billion) in short-term cash by Monday, when it has a 4.2 billion-euro debt repayment due to the European Central Bank.

Annual inflation rate ticks up on cost of food
Feds launch consultation on assisted dying issue
Canada’s annual inflation rate ticked up in June as the price of food, especially meat, and housing climbed, offset in part by lower gasoline prices. Statistics Canada said Friday the consumer price index rose 1.0 per cent in June compared with a year ago, following an increase of 0.9 per cent in May. The move matched economist expectations, according to Thomson Reuters. Statistics Canada said Friday core inflation was 2.3 per cent. Economists had expected a gain of 2.2 per cent. The Canadian dollar has fallen about 10 per cent against the U.S. dollar since the start of the year, raising the cost of imported goods from the country’s largest trading partner.
The Harper government has launched a consultation process on doctor-assisted dying that effectively puts the politically-fraught issue on the backburner until after the Oct. 19 election. It has set up an academic panel to conduct public consultations and propose legislative options for dealing with the matter. But it’s not asking the panel to report back until late fall. The three-member panel is to consult with medical authorities and other interested parties and conduct an online public consultation with Canadians generally. In its final report, the panel is to provide the government with options for responding to last February’s ruling by the Supreme Court.

Lawsuit seeks more aid for mentally ill inmates
Panel finds medicare system aging badly
A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in an Ontario court Friday alleges the federal government fails to provide adequate care to mentally ill prisoners while relying far too heavily on solitary confinement as a way to deal with them. The case, if certified by the court, would pit the Attorney General of Canada against federal inmates diagnosed with mental illness between 1992 and the present. “Prisoners in federal institutions who suffer serious mental illness are not being given the treatment they are statutorily entitled to,” said lawyer James Sayce, whose firm Koskie Minsky is behind the action.
Canada’s medicare system is aging badly, a federal panel said Friday. The Advisory Panel on Health Care Innovation has released a new report saying there is “no doubt” a major renovation of the medicare system is overdue. The panel was struck last June by Health Minister Rona Ambrose to help find ways to reduce health spending and improve accessibility to care. “The overall view conveyed to us by a panel of international experts with whom we met was that there was a sense of Canada having moved from the strong position to one that was more average,” said Naylor in a phone interview.

Andrew Harris scores his first touchdown of the season on 15-yard scamper CRAIG SLATER THE CANADIAN PRESS
REGINA — Rookie A.C. Leonard caught two touchdown passes from Travis Lulay and the B.C. Lions handed the Saskatchewan Roughriders a 27-24 loss on Friday — their fourth consecutive defeat to start the season. The Lions have won two straight games, both at the hands of the Riders, and improved to 2-1. The Riders remain the lone winless team in the CFL at 0-4. A valiant effort by the Riders in the fourth quarter saw the home team outscore the Lions 13-7, but
Saskatchewan couldn’t recover an onside kick with 36 seconds remaining. B.C. would run out the clock for the win. After a low-scoring first half played in a steady rain, the teams combined for 18 points in the third quarter. Shaq Murray-Lawrence returned the second-half kickoff 66 yards into Saskatchewan territory. On the Lions’ first offensive snap, Andrew Harris rushed up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown to give B.C. a 16-4 lead. The Riders responded with a drive of their own, capped by
a 16-yard touchdown reception from Chris Getzlaf. Jerome Messam set up the score with 48 yards rushing on four carries. Leonard’s second touchdown of the game came on the Lions’ first snap in the fourth quarter. Lulay found his first-year wideout wide open on the goal line for the score that put the Lions ahead 27-11. Leonard’s first touchdown, a five-yard touchdown reception from Lulay, came on B.C.’s first offensive possession of the night to give the Lions a 7-0 lead. B.C. added a pair of singles from punter Richie Leone, while
the Riders countered with a 45-yard field goal from kicker Paul McCallum to make it 9-3 late in the second quarter. All four of Saskatchewan’s first-half points came off the leg of McCallum. The 45-year-old veteran also was awarded a single when he missed a 36-yard field goal attempt. McCallum also kicked a 24 and 50-yard field in the fourth quarter. The Lions led 9-4 at halftime. The Riders will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Week 5. The Lions will host the Toronto Argonauts.
A little more than a month ago, the Nanaimo Timbermen travelled to Burnaby to take on a Lakers team in an attempt to move to 4-4 on the season. The Timbermen led that game 6-0 in the second period, only to let it slip away into an 8-7 loss. A .500 record today in the Western Lacrosse Association would have had the Timbermen in third place. On Wednesday night, the Timbermen arrived in Burnaby in a much different situation. Losers of 11 straight games, the Timbermen fell again as their playoff hopes are now dead as the fourth-place Langley Thunder are 10 points ahead of them with four Nanaimo games left to be played. This time in Burnaby, there was no 6-0 lead. Instead, the Lakers led the entire game, with a 5-2 lead after the first period and a 9-3 lead after 40 minutes. Playing without Brody Eastwood, their leading scorer, the offence was dry. Cody Bremner had two points — a goal and an assist — in the first two periods while Nanaimo’s other two goals came from defenders Doug Langlois and Ryan Sage. The Timbermen weren’t able to find the back of the Lakers’ net in the third period. Jamie Lincln scored five goals for Burnaby, while teammate Robert Church had four assists. The Timbermen are back at home on Sunday night as they host the third-place Maple Ridge Burrards at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena in their second to last home game of the season. A loss in that game will guarentee the Timbermen pick first overall at the 2016 WLA draft. Scott.McKenzie@ nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Barakso’s Pan Am gold ‘the coolest experience’ of his life SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
Back on Vancouver Island with a gold medal around his neck, Nanaimo’s Martin Barakso is calling his championship race at the Pan American Games the coolest experience of his life. Barakso was part of the eightman Canadian crew that finished three seconds in front of secondplace Argentina at the Toronto-based games on Wednesday. The Princeton Tigers rower had previously won gold medals at the 2013 Canada Games and at the 2014 Under-23 World Championships in Italy. But winning gold for his country on home turf made this medal something special. “Getting to race in front of over 2,000 fans and singing the anthem with all those people — in Canada — was probably the coolest thing I’ve experienced so far,” Barakso

said. Motivation wasn’t hard to come by on Wednesday. For one, Barakso had also come in fifth place in the men’s pairs rowing event.
“That was definitely a disappointment,” he said. “We had only practised the pairs for about two weeks before the racing started. Obviously, all of our competitors had been training for a couple years in the pairs. But that day the weather was really windy so having practised so little, the weather just got the better of us and we didn’t have a good race. “I don’t want to make excuses, but it was definitely disappointing to finish fifth. Having the eight the next day, there was even more motivation to win.” As well as his motivation of coming off a tough finish in the pairs, the fact the eight-man race is widely regarded as the biggest in the Pan Am regatta only added to the pressure. Barakso and his team met the previous day to discuss the importance of the event.
“We talked about it and said ‘there’s no way we’re going to lose this race. There’s no way we’re going to hear the American anthem or the Argentinian anthem. We’re going to sing in front of our home crowd,’ and we basically just agreed that we were going to win it,’” he said. That discussion, and the team’s preparation, paid off. They led for the entirety of the championship race and finished three seconds faster than anyone else could. “We had a really good start,” Barakso said. “We led from start to finish. Halfway, we were leading by five seconds and were definitely in full control of the race.” Back on the Island and off from school for the summer, the work doesn’t end for Barakso, a 20-yearold graduate of Brentwood College.

Schrijver now move into a threeweek training camp ahead of Canadian time trials for the World Rowing Championships, held later this summer in France. Rowing Canada is expected to make the roster announcement in three weeks. Barakso and Schrijver hope to represent their country at the world championships in the men’s pairs event. They were part of the U23 world championship quad that won the gold medal last summer, but this event has no age restrictions. “Basically, I’m just going to be training for the next three weeks to see if I can try to crack the team,” said Barakso, who will return to the Princeton crew for his senior year in September.

Bolstered Pirates set for tough test vs. HarbourCats DAILY NEWS
When the Nanaimo Pirates first announced this coming Sunday’s exhibition game against the Victoria HarbourCats back in March, it brought excitement from both camps. Now the anticipation is over and the HarbourCats will arrive in the Harbour City on Sunday with a 1 p.m. start time scheduled for the game at Serauxmen Stadium. Despite having to face the top team on the Island, a collegiate-level West Coast League team, the Pirates head into the test in strong form, with a 28-15 record on the regular B.C. Premier Baseball League season, their latest win coming against the Coquitlam Reds on Friday afternoon, 14-15, despite losing a second game against the Reds 13-2 later that night. Nanaimo catcher Cole Warken led Pirates the offence in the opener with five hits and four runs batted in. The Pirates now have a 7-3 record in their last 10 games. As for the HarbourCats, they sit second in the west division of the
Christmas in July July 20-25
collegiate summer West Coast League with a 17-17 record so far this year. It will undoubtedly be a memorable day for Pirates head coach Doug Rogers who will see both of his twin sons Alex and Brady feature in the game. This time last year, right-handed pitcher Alex had a 10-day contract with the HarbourCats which turned into a regular deal. As for Brady, he also had a 10-day stint with the HarbourCats earlier this summer and will be back in Pirates uniform this weekend as an alumni. Head coach Rogers said back in July that he hopes Alex is given a start on Sunday, but is also optimistic about the Pirates’ chances of getting the win. “It’s just baseball. It’s more mental than it is on the physical part. You gotta throw strikes and make the outs,” he said. HarbourCats GM Jim Swanson commended Rogers’ role in bringing the game to fruition. “Doug did a great job of making this happen. They do a great job here in Nanaimo and so many of their guys go on to play college ball,” he said.
The game will be a nine-innings game and an autograph session with the HarbourCats players will take place on the field afterwards, as well as a chance to buy official team merchandise. Both Rogers and Swanson believe the game will be a great thing for baseball on the Island and give the Pirates players and those in the general public the chance to see what can be achieved, in the case of Alex’s story. “It gives people the chance to see the highest level of baseball they’re going to see,” said Swanson in March. “We basically play at the same level quality- wise as what the Vancouver Canadians play. We’ve got guys from UCLA, Oregon State and we have a great reputation for what we do for their development. “To be able to showcase that here against guys who have worn the Nanaimo uniform, I think is pretty special.” Tickets for the game are $10 and can be purchased by calling 250-756-7899.

Rookie Andrew Miller, who played last season for the Junior A Timbermen, had four assists in the win while Ryan Hanna scored twice and added an assist. “Our depth in all facets has really showed in this series,” Maughan said. “We’ve had different guys come in and out of the lineup. We didn’t have Jon Diplock tonight, who’s one of our top players, and you wouldn’t have noticed it out there.” The deciding game of a series in any sport has always been the toughest to win, but the Timbermen are confident they will pick up the sweep on Sunday afternoon. “We’ll definitely be ready for whatever they throw at us,” Maughan said. “There was a lot of talk during the game with it being rough and chippy, but when we get back home and refocus, we’ll be able to see it through, no probem.” With a victory Sunday, the Timbermen will move on to face either the Ladner Pioneers or Royal City Capitals in the finals.

The Nanaimo Senior B Timbermen are one win away from the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association finals after a 13-4 win over the Langley Warriors Friday night at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The third and possibly last game of one of two WCSLA semifinals is set for Sunday in Nanaimo at 3:30 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. The Timbermen beat the Warrios in Game 1 of the best-of-five series on Wednesday night, 12-4 in Nanaimo. Game 2 Friday night was a chippy one, said Nanaimo head coach Mike Maughan, but it was something the Timbermen were able to battle through. The Warriors finished the game with 97 penalty minutes, while the Timbermen had 97. “It was quite the penalty-filled affair,” Maughan said, “which is pretty different from the way we played all year, really, but the guys answered the bell well no matter what was needed of them.” Playing on the road against a desperate Warriors team, the Timbermen were short-handed in that they were playing without their leading scorer, Jon Diplock, whose 73 points were third-best in the WCSLA during the regular season. But the offence remained strong even without Diplock, the Nanaimo captain. Ryan Forslund finished the
“We’ll be able to see it through, no problem.“

Redblacks fall for second straight loss DARREN DESAULNIERS THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — That’s two for two for the Edmonton Eskimos Grant Shaw’s five field goals and Matt Nichols’ fourth-quarter touchdown pass was enough to lead the Eskimos past the Redblacks 23-12 Friday night, giving Edmonton two victories in its home-and-home set with Ottawa. It was a far better effort from the Redblacks, who were humiliated 46-17 in Edmonton eight days earlier. “They’re a good football team and they’re going to beat some other people,” Eskimos coach Chris Jones said of the Redblacks. “They’ve got a Hall of Fame quarterback and a lot of guys to throw to, their defence never says die and they’re tremendously well coached.” Neither team could reach the end zone for the first three quarters, but that changed in the fourth as each side scored touchdowns on their opening possessions. The Redblacks got a one-yard run from quarterback Henry Burris on a drive that started in the third quarter. Ottawa took a 12-11 lead after its two-point conversion failed. Slightly less than two minutes later, Nichols connected with Kendal Lawrence on a 63-yard catch-and-run score to give the Eskimos back the lead at 17-11 after the two-point attempt also failed. Shaw’s 39 and 37-yard field goals closed the scoring. “The guys did a good job sticking with it and battling against a great front four and a great front seven,” Burris said of his offensive line. “We were taking what they gave us and we were able to march the ball down field and get the ball in end zone, but we had multiple opportunities where we should have done that and we just didn’t finish our jobs.” In the first three games of the season the Redblacks failed to score a point in the first quarter.

est continued hearts when partner contributed an encouraging eightspot. East wonthekinganddeliveredthe ruff, leaving West with a problem. He elected to exit with a safe trump and the defense eventually scored two diamond tricks, N-S +110. A spade lead would have been just as effective since declarer must draw trump to prevent a heart ruff. East wins the first heart but switches to a diamond where a third round of the suit forces out declarer’s last trump. When West wins the heart ace, he cashes a long diamond restricting South to another eight tricks. Suppose that North chooses to bid 1NT (forcing) intending to rebid three spades at his next turn to show a three-card limit raise. South will rebid two hearts and North will settle for a raise to three hearts that will end the auction. The 4-4 fit would appear to yield nine tricks but East should be able to secure a spade ruff, holding declarer to eight tricks. East must take care to win the first heart and shift to a spade to secure the ruff. The opening lead of a spade could culminate in two ruffs when declarer wins in dummy to advance the queen of hearts. East must play the king and canreachpartnertwicein diamonds.

Her undivided love for her children (grand & great grand) was known by all as well as her love for her church (St Phillips Anglican Church Cedar). If you ever played a game of bingo in Nanaimo in the 80s or early 90s, you may remember her as one of the bingo callers. Betty will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Private service will be held for immediate family only.

Peters, Ronald George (Ron) June 25, 1931 - July 5, 2015
Peters, Ronald George (Ron) June 25, 1931 - July 5, 2015. Ron passed away peacefully in Langley, British Columbia, with his family at his side. He was born and raised in Regina and later moved to Duncan on Vancouver Island, where he met and married Cynthia Rosamund Sherrick. Ron and Cynthia raised their three children in Maple Ridge before returning to the Island to live in Ladysmith. After Cynthia passed away, Ron spent a number of years on Gabriola Island, a place they both loved. Ron was active in the Unitarian Congregation, where he gave lectures on cosmology and evolutionary biology. A man of eclectic skills and interests, he taught both English and math, had an abiding interest in the sciences and was a talented builder and craftsman. He also had a great sense of humour, which served him well when he became a resident first at the Renaissance Seniors Home and then at Magnolia Gardens Care Centre. He was predeceased by Cynthia, his parents Ernest and Veronica and his brother Ted. He is survived and will be greatly missed by his sisters Joan and Marie; his children Ken (Helen), Evelyn (Andrew) and Laura (Steve); and his grandchildren Jeffrey, Nick, Keegan and Gavin. Many thanks to the excellent staff of Magnolia Gardens, who gave him professional and loving care throughout his stay.

Dear Annie: I made contact with my birth mother several years ago, but we are not close. Recently, I found out from my sister that my birth mother has been reposting photographs of my children from other friends’ pages.
I have set privacy guidelines for posting photos of my children and she has totally disregarded them. I have tried to be civil with this woman, who blatantly doesn’t care who she hurts. I understand that I can’t make my friends and relatives remove these photos, but am I wrong to be so guarded about who and how pictures of my children can be shared on social media? Mind you, this woman is not part of my life and has no rights to me or my children. — Outraged Mother Dear Outraged: You can ask your friends and relatives to put
privacy settings on their photos so that your birth mother does not get to see them, let alone repost them. You also can try explaining directly to your birth mother why you have these guidelines and ask her to respect them. But we’d guess she feels marginalized and excluded from your life and that of your children, and she is desperate to be “grandma.� You might be able to convince her to remove the photos from her social media pages by promising her an old-fashioned printed photo of your family that she can frame and keep at home.
A small amount of consideration from you could go a long way to encourage her to reciprocate. You obviously don’t owe her any photographs, but she is finding and posting them anyway. Better on your terms than hers. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@ creators.com, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

PAN AM GAMES
Johnson holds on to first place Canadian athletes pass 100-medal mark DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — The grand pursuit of Jordan Spieth, redemption for Dustin Johnson, the mystery that has become Tiger Woods. It all came to a momentary halt Friday in the gloaming of St. Andrews when Tom Watson said goodbye to the British Open. Watson, the most prolific winner of golf’s oldest championship in the last century, finished his 129th round with lights from the Royal & Ancient clubhouse illuminating the 18th green. The five-time champion made bogey. The score was irrelevant. “There were no tears,” Watson said. “This is a joyous occasion. I have a lot of great, great memories. And those memories filled me up.” Everything else about this wet and wild second round remained unsettled. A heavy downpour at dawn flooded the Old Course and disrupted the start by more than three hours. Johnson and Spieth teed off shortly before 6 p.m. and were

headed in different directions when it was too dark to continue. In swift, shifting weather — umbrellas on one hole, sunglasses on the next — Johnson made three birdies in four holes on the front nine and built a two-shot lead before he made his first bogey of the tournament. He three-putted on the par-3 11th in wind so severe he had to back off a four-foot putt and wipe his eyes. Johnson was at 10-under par. Spieth three-putted for bogey three times in 11 holes to offset three birdies and was five shots behind Johnson, whom he beat

by one shot in the U.S. Open last month to capture the second leg of the Grand Slam. Both were just short on the par-5 14th hole in two shots when they chose to mark their golf balls and return at 7 a.m. Saturday to resume the round. “I’m in a good spot,” Johnson said. “Definitely got very tricky this afternoon, all day. Even the front side, the wind was howling and it was blowing straight leftto-right pretty much. It played very tough all day.” Danny Willett of England had to cope with the wind, too, and he had a 3-under 69 to walk off the 18th green with his name atop the leaderboard at 9-under 135. “Yeah, I think it’s a childhood dream and looking up there it’s still a little bit surreal, but something I’m going to have to get used to,” Willett said. “Otherwise, no point in being up there. “We’re going to try and rest up and then try and go out for another good weekend and hopefully, we can be up there in two days’ time.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS
Canada punctuated the first week of competition at the Pan Am Games by reaching, then surpassing the 100-medal mark on Friday. The Canadians continued their impressive showing at the Cisco Pan Am Velodrome, adding to the medal haul with a gold in the women’s pursuit and a gold in the women’s keirin final. The team of Calgary’s Allison Beveridge, Vancouver’s Laura Brown, Jasmin Glaesser, of Coquitlam, and Kirsti Lay, of Medicine Hat, Alta., finished the race in a Pan Am record time of four minutes 19.664 seconds in the final to edge the United States. The U.S. earned the silver in 4:26.426 while Mexico beat out Colombia to capture the bronze medal. Glaesser said the Canadians rode a technically sound final race. “I think in qualifying we start-
You might not be able to join friends just yet, as you have to handle a professional or personal responsibility first. A parent could make a request that you feel you must handle. By the end of the day, you’ll want some downtime. Tonight: Zero in on what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel as if you need to take off for a short trip. A different environment seems to be just what you need to relax. In a different setting, you will be able to be completely spontaneous. You’ll feel like a different person by the end of the day. Tonight: In the limelight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be questioning whether you want to spend one-on-one time with a loved one all day. Go along with this person’s wish. The time will come when you will be able to ask for a favor from this person and receive it. Tonight: Go to a play or concert. Be entertained. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others seem to be very busy, though you will be invited to join in. You might opt to go your own way and visit with a friend whom you often can be found laughing with. You’ll act in a most unexpected manner and add some fun to the moment.
ed a little bit quick and maybe weren’t in control of the back half of the race,” she said. “Our plan was to settle the first six laps and then to really finish strong and I think we showed that. We really rode within our abilities in the first half and then the second part of the race took care of itself.” Calgary’s Monique Sullivan held off hard-charging Cuban Lisandra Guerra to capture the women’s keirin final, winning by roughly one tire length. Colombia’s Juliana Gaviria Rendon captured the bronze. Canada stood in second place in the overall medal total with 104, four back of the U.S., with multiple events still scheduled for Friday evening. Canadians had earned 43 gold, 37 silver and 24 bronze. The Canadian women’s squash team didn’t fare as well as their track cycling counterparts, settling for silver with a loss to the Americans.
Tonight: Where the action is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You seem to have a lot on your plate right now. You might prefer that no one bother you so that you can complete your to-do list for the day. You can successfully arrive at the goal, especially if you screen your calls. Tonight: Out with a favorite person. YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 18) This year you live your life more fully. You are likely to receive a pay raise or some kind of promotion. For some of you, financial investments will pay off. Be careful, as you might go through a high spending period. If you are single, you could be rather chatty when relating to a potential suitor, but that will be critical in getting to know this person. As a result, you will want to take your time dating. If you are attached, you might need to curb your sarcasm. Love and accept the one you are with. VIRGO is even more critical than you are.
