Through the looking glass into Cranbrook’s past “Janus: Cranbrook: Then and Now: Volume 1” hits the shelves in book form

“When Cranbrook celebrated its 100th Anniversary as an established city, back in 2005,” explains Jim Cameron, “I was inspired to write historical columns for the Daily Townsman.”

Over the past decade Cameron has published over 300 articles (under

the Janus heading), describing in detail and with flair the depth, richness, and excitement the Cranbrook has enjoyed over the past century; notable citizens, startling events capturing the imagination and the headlines of the nation, fallen buildings, rising stars.

And this coming

Thursday July 30 at Lotus Books will see Cameron launch Volume One of “Cranbrook: Then and Now” for the glory of Cranbrook and the World.

“There are countless Cranbrook stories needing to be told, and remembered forever,” says Cameron. “It’s the feeling you have when

you’re standing somewhere and looking at some old building, or a place, and you wonder: what did that look like when it was first built?

And then I happened to chance upon some photos of a building that I recognized — original photos. I thought: there’s got to be a story here. Why

was it built like that?

Why was it built there?

Who built it? What was of utmost interest was finding out more about the people.

“So the themes of the Janus columns began with the focus on the buildings of Cranbrook, but then gradually I discovered that the better stories are about the

people who built them.

And who settled in the area and made Cranbrook into Cranbrook.”

Born and raised in Cranbrook, Cameron’s family’s roots stretch back before World War One. “As far as researching goes,” says Cameron, “I’ve gone pretty much everywhere this journey will take you.

A collision between a motorcycle and a mid-size SUV occurred Friday afternoon on Victoria Avenue near Van Horne Street. Cranbrook RCMP said that the drivers of both vehicles were elderly. The motorcycle rider was transported by ambulance to East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The driver of the SUV was ticketed for failing to yield on left turn, which is Section 174 Motor Vehicle Act.

Man charged after exchange with child T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

A 42-year-old Fernie man has been released on bail with a number of conditions stemming from his arrest at a Cranbrook park that involved a young boy.

Frederick McDowell, who has been charged with unlawful confinement or

imprisonment and impersonating a peace officer, was taken into custody after a suspicious interaction in a Rotary Park change room with a young boy on Tuesday, July 21, 2015.

McDowell appeared in Cranbrook Provincial Court in front of Judge Grant

Sheard on Thursday, July 23, 2015 and posted a $500 bail.

According to an RCMP release, McDowell is alleged to have made comments to the child saying that he was a police officer, however, the boy was able to run by him and get to his father outside.

Police immediately located McDowell and took him into custody and are satisfied that he was acting alone and that there is no safety concerns for the public.

Under McDowell’s bail conditions, he must stay in Fernie and within the prov-

ince, along with other restrictions such as no contact with the young boy involved or any youth under 16 or be in public places used by children such as a park or playground.

McDowell will be back in the Cranbrook Law Courts on August 31, 2015.

Kimberley’s reservoir has hit historic lows and mandatory water restrictions were recently adopted by the municipal council.

So if there are concerns about water levels in Kimberley, what does that mean for Cranbrook?

The city issued a press release at the beginning of the month noting that Phillips Reservior — Cranbrook’s primary source of potable water —is at capacity.

Despite the implementation of voluntary watering restrictions at the end of last week, the Phillips Reservoir is still currently at capacity, according to Joe McGowan, the Director of Public Works for the City of Cranbrook.

With the advent of the Internet, it made so much more information readily available. And complex! It’s pretty amazing where you end up going when you’re seeking something out online...bouncing off one thing onto another.

A lot of it, too, is simply talking to people.

Talking to someone who knows someone that you end up having an interview with, or sitting down to coffee with, and learning about their family, and then contacting more family members and friends.

It’s hard! It’s pretty complicated, the amount of groups you go through to try to sort out one story or another.”

Volume One of

“Cranbrook: Then and Now” collects several dozen of Cameron’s Janus columns across his 2005-2014 publication run. Stories of rockabilly concerts, stampeding elephants, burning Chinatowns — and even Boris Karloff. “It’s funny,” says Cameron.

“I wasn’t sure at first how I wanted to lay things out. I thought I’d start with a story about the beginning of Cranbrook that I’d written a few years ago. And one thing lead to another. It was a natural progression of the book, but it’s certainly not chronological in terms of how I’ve written. It’s just what seemed to flow.”

follow-up volumes on a semi-regular basis, he responds: “I was looking at something along the lines of a sequel every two years or so, but it really depends on how well this first book does, more than anything. As a self-published writer, the best I can hope for is to break even.”

Cameron has printed a first run of 1,000 copies, and one can only hope that the tome finds it way into the eager hands of every 19th resident of our fair Key City. At the moment, Cameron has the material to run at least three more volumes of “Cranbrook: Then and Now” if desired — a veritable Encyclopedia Cranbrookica.

“I’m always finding new information and new stories and unearthing forgotten local

legends,” remarks Cameron. “So if I’m sifting through my already-published stuff and ruthlessly compiling another volume of recollections, the thing is: I’m still actively writing, and Cranbrook’s just so much of a great city with a great past that I can easily write 30 or 40 new articles every year. And if I keep doing that, it’s a regenerative thing, you know?”

It would appear that Cameron’s book is garnering excitable interest beyond our corporate city limits.

“There are folks out in the West Kootenay who are interested in distributing the book there; there’s another fascinating chunk of British Columbia I’d love to explore.”

“I’ve lived here in Cranbrook all my life,” Cameron states. “My grandfather was here in 1908. My mother’s side settled into Lumberton in the 1920s. I’ve always heard a lot of neat stories and met a lot of neat people. But I had not idea until I was inspired to begin writing about the local history just how deep and rich the stories really are. What’s truly exceptional is that I’ll begin researching one particular person, or one particular place, and that’ll ricochet into five other new, different stories...because of the people involved. It was quite a pioneering crew who came out here. It wasn’t like they sat down for breakfast in Toronto and then drove out to Cranbrook to settle a town. There were people from all over the world who had done some pretty amazing things, really, when you start putting them together. And for them to all settle here? What a wealth of stories to draw from.”

Amendment will help add more rental housing A r n e P e t rys h e n

Cranbrook City Council gave first reading to a proposed amendment that will allow the Canadian Mental Health Association Kootenays (CMHAK) to provide additional low-cost rental housing.

The amendment is to the Official Community Plan and was put forward by Janice Ivan, executive director of CMHAK, on behalf of the property owner,

Provincial Rental Housing Corporation.

If the proposed amendment is approved, it would enable land use re-designation and consideration of rezoning of the property to provide additional low-cost rental housing and supportive services within the existing Sonja’s Garden neighbourhood.

The property is at 1000 21st Avenue North.

The amendment

would change the property from Medium Density Residential to Park/Institutional/Recreation. City staff would then proceed with public consultation on the proposed OCP amendment.

“The existing site development and use is a residential townhouse and duplex-style development, providing low-cost family rental housing, which is managed by CMHAK,” wrote city

staff. “The project was developed in 1997 with BC Housing Funding and at the time space was allocated in the site plan (December 13, 1996) for two additional buildings, however, they were not developed at the time due to limited funding.”

There is now a renewed interest in continuing the project, and re-designation of the property will enable consideration of rezoning — specifically a

new Comprehensive Development (CD-6) Zone.

City staff explained that the proposed CD-6 Zone would include adding two new buildings, and a total of 18 one bedroom apartment style units. In addition, the proposed renovation/ modification of three existing buildings would allow CMHAK social services program and administrative spaces to occupy approximately 15 per cent of the site.

CMHAK stated that would allow them to improve operations and delivery of services to clients who live onsite as well as within the surrounding area.

“The proposed land

use designation of Park/Institutional/Recreation, is compatible with the surrounding land designations,” city staff wrote in the report. “To the north, east and south the subject property abuts on to Core Commercial and Medium Density Residential to the east.”

City staff also noted that the site promotes walking, since it is near a commercial shopping area and is serviced by BC Transit routes, that provide frequent stops connecting Sonja Garden residents with the rest of the city.

They also noted that accessibility and alternative mobility options was an important consideration, since many

Market Quotations

current residents and clients do not have access to private vehicle transportation.

A parking assessment was conducted by city staff in May which found that of the existing 69 parking spaces, only 22 were taken up at peak times. The average for mornings, afternoons, evenings and peak periods was 14 parking space in use.

Staff observation of the site also confirms a low to medium occupancy rate of existing on-site parking.

Due to the way the parking lot is being used, the applicant has proposed a modified allocation of parking spaces, adding only three for the new units.

Phillips Reservior — Cranbrook’s primary source of potable water —is at capacity. However, that situation could change, resulting in possible significant water restrictions.

Cranbrook reservoir’s water levels still steady Continued from page 1

“At this date [the reservoir is full], however, that could change,” McGowan said. “And that’s the big thing, is to recognize that our reservoir is full at this moment and we are actually spilling water.

“However, the situation could change in very short order in a one- to two-week period. It could result in a significant change and we could very well be put in a position where we’d have to enforce significant water restrictions.”

Public Works is continually monitoring reservoir levels and water quality to ensure there is ample water supply for city residents.

The reservoir is served by inflow from Joseph Creek and Gold Creek, which is monitored and controlled at a diversion building.

McGowan says there are a few factors that could impact the water levels to drop.

“High temperature combined with low precipitation will result in less inflow to the Phillips Reservoir,” he said.

Should water levels drop below 75 per cent capacity, without the necessary inflow to increase the volume, there is a second phase of water management that the city will implement as part of the Outdoor Water Management policy.

“However, the situation could change in very short order in a one- to two-week period. It could result in a significant change and we could very well be put in a position where we’d have to enforce significant water restrictions.”

Joe McGowan The current voluntary restrictions means that the city will discontinue watering at a few selected greenspa-

ces and parks. Further restrictions could include additional city properties and adjustments to flows for underground sprinklers by up to 30 per cent.

Across the province, low stream flows has forced the Ministry of Environment to adjust drought ratings.

The Kootenay region is classified at a Level 2 by the Ministry of Environment, meaning that the area is dry.

The Okanagan is at Level 3, while the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island is at Level 4.

The drought ratings have also forced angling closures in the most severely affected areas.

Petition against creation of Jumbo resort municipality heard in Court Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer

The West Kootenay EcoSociety’s petition against the B.C. government’s decision to incorporate Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality was heard in court earlier this month, although a decision will not likely come for weeks.

The petition was heard in the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on Wednesday, July 15 , nearly two and a half years after it was first filed, with lawyers representing both the EcoSociety and the province present in court. Lawyers representing the municipality were not present.

“We’re basically saying that the minister (of Community, Sport and Cultural Development) and the Lieutenant Governor in Council exercised discretion (in incorporating the mountain resort municipality) in a way that goes against the express purpose of the Local Government Act and Com-

munity Charter and undermines other aspects of those acts. For instance, that there is no public (in Jumbo) for holding public hearings,” said Nelson-based lawyer Judah Harrison, who is representing the EcoSociety.

Mr. Harrison added he and the other legal counsel for the EcoSociety argued that creating a municipality without people could be acceptable in some circumstances, but not in the case of Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality.

“If people were going to move there next year, it could be allowable.

But indefinitely having no population creates a problem,” he said. “In essence, we’re saying the discretion (used by the minister and Lieutenant Governor) was exercised unreasonably.”

The hearing was scheduled to run for three days, but instead wrapped up in a single day, which Mr. Harrison

The Ecosociety is continuing its court case against the formation of the Jumbo municipality. said was due in part to the absence of lawyers representing the mountain resort municipality as well as to the lawyers representing the provincial government making their case in only about an hour.

porating the municipality, not with the municipality per se.

“The hearing was about the legitimacy of the province’s decision to create the municipality. It was the province’s decision and the province’s process,” said Mr. Deck, adding it would be somewhat odd to be at a hearing debating the legitimacy of your own existence.

Mr. Harrison also pointed out that the case was heard by a relatively new judge, Grace Choi, who has been sitting on the bench for just two months.

“That’s a huge factor for us,” he said, adding he expects it will mean her ruling in the case may take six weeks to six months, “because it’s one of the more complex cases she’s dealt

with.”

According to Mr. Harrison, there is little indicating which way the ruling — when it comes — could go.

“This case has always been an unsure one. I don’t know where this is going to go. It could go either way. I think we’re right, but I think we’re asking the judge to step on the highest level of government,” he said.

Irrespective of where the case goes, Mr. Harrison said he wouldn’t be surprised if the municipality ceases to exists soon.

“In my opinion, there’s a fairly strong chance that the government will nullify the municipality as a result of the expiration of the environmental certificate,” he said. “It just makes abundant sense that this is dead from a municipal angle.”

In a press release on the case, the EcoSociety disclosed that environmental and public advocacy organization West Coast Environmental Law Foundation had financially supported the case, and that the EcoSociety has launched a crowd-sourcing campaign to help cover the remaining legal costs.

As it approaches its 20th anniversary, Columbia Basin Trust is pleased to announce 2014/15 was another year of strong support to the area it serves in the Columbia Basin. Over the year the organization delivered nearly $22 million in programs and services to communities and residents, $17 million in new loans to Basin businesses and earned revenues of over $29 million.

The Trust works to strengthen the region’s social, economic and environmental well-being.

In 2014/15, activities included establishing a new resource to support sports and physical activity, helping Junior Achievement expand into the Basin so youth can learn about entrepreneurship, renewing the Trust’s Social Strategic Plan and continuing to create a regional open-access broadband net-

work.

The main way the Trust supports these activities is by investing in power projects. All power projects performed well over the year, and brought in revenues of over $22 million (out of total revenues of $29 million). In spring 2015 Waneta Expansion began operating, which will positively impact future revenues. The Trust also invests in market securities (stocks and bonds) and local real estate, and provides loans to Basin-based businesses.

“Because of the strong performance of our investments, our revenues were higher than anticipated, which means we were able to offer more programs and services to Basin residents,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Officer. “Moving into the future, we look forward to having even greater impact on well-being in the region.”

A major emphasis over the year involved engaging with residents to ask what’s important to them and how the Trust should focus its efforts. About 3,000 people provided input that will help the Trust make decisions, set priorities and manage how it provides programs and services to the region.

Read more about the Trust’s performance in its 2014/15 Annual Service Plan Report at cbt. org/annualreport. For stories and photos of some of the projects it has supported, look for the magazine Your Trust (formerly Report to Residents) in your mailbox this fall.

Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s programs and initiatives, visit cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

Child protection failure prompts probe Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – One of the architects of B.C.’s children’s ministry has been brought back in to review its procedures after a court case revealed four children were left in the care of their abusive father.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced Friday that former deputy minister Bob Plecas will lead the review of the case and recommend changes by October.

In his second ruling on the case, released last week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Walker found the ministry was negligent in the decision to allow the father

unsupervised access to the children. In a 2009 ruling awarding sole custody to the mother, Walker accepted evidence that the father had physically and sexually abused the older three children.

Despite that order, the ministry permitted the father unsupervised access, allowing him to sexually abuse the youngest child. None of the family members is publicly identified.

“A key feature of the Director [of Child Welfare] conduct in this case is that she and many of her agents approached the case in front of them with a closed mind, having concluded at a very early stage, before the children were inter-

Left: Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux .

Right: Former deputy minister Bob Plecas viewed, that there was no merit to the sexual abuse allegations and that [the mother] had fabricated them and had coached her children to make their disclosures,”

Walker wrote in a 341page judgment.

Plecas said he will not be considering individual misconduct of ministry staff involved, who have been reassigned

while the review is ongoing.

“I think people will speak with me because it’s a non-threatening exercise,” Plecas said.

Car thieves drive B.C. crime rate back up Jeff Nagel Black Press

Car thefts surged 29 per cent across B.C. last year – reversing a decade-long decline – and that was one of the drivers behind a significant increase in the overall crime rate in the Lower Mainland.

The crime rate was up eight per cent in 2014 in Metro Vancouver and seven per cent in the Abbotsford-Mission census metropolitan area, according to Statistics Canada.

In addition to auto theft, B.C. also saw increases in thefts under $5,000, break-and-enters, and child pornography.

The property crimes and car thefts are often linked, according to Insp. Peter Jadis, officer in charge of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).

“The people that we’re dealing with are seasoned criminals,” Jadis said.

“Usually when we do apprehend them there’s evidence of other crimes being committed – identify theft, fraud, drug dealing – and they’re using the vehicles for transportation and to facilitate these different crimes.”

Jadis said Canada Post’s investigators believe many mail box break-ins are done via stolen cars, which are often found with stolen mail inside.

He said the perpetrators are often better organized than would appear from Bait Car videos of the past depicting unhinged thieves just prior to arrest.

“They’ll hit mailboxes multiple times and build profiles,” Jadis said of identity thieves.

“Your mail will be stolen for a few weeks and then a year down the road all of a sudden there’s a new identity that someone’s using and people see their credit ratings have gone through the floor.”

Last year’s spike in car thefts followed a decline from 2003 to 2013 due to a combination of better car security technology, intelligence-led policing, the tracking of prolific criminals and the use of the Bait Car program to catch thieves in the act.

The recent resurgence of the problem has continued this year, with a 40 per cent increase in arrests so far for theft of or theft from vehicles, Jadis said.

Part of the problem is that criminals have been adjusting their tactics to thwart police, often ditching stolen vehicles faster.

“We’re seeing offenders rotating the vehicle a bit more. In the past they’d keep them 10 to 14 days, but we’re seeing some of them now rotating the vehicles every three or four days.”

Thieves are increasingly stealing cars by

first stealing their keys.

Keys can disappear from your clothes in a locker at a gym or rec centre, or from inside your house, Jadis said.

Often, he said, a thief will break into a vehicle that has a garage door opener, use it to get into the home, then search for a spare pair of car keys, along with anything else that can be stolen.

Or, if the car is stolen elsewhere, they can use the insurance papers to get the address and use the garage door opener to enter and loot the home.

Jadis said IMPACT officers are developing a new model to strategically target suspects known to them who are likely to be involved in auto crime.

Another lesser known weapon in the policing arsenal against car thieves is the automated licence plate detection systems B.C. RCMP have mounted in some police cars in the Lower Mainland.

They scan the licence plates of passing cars at a rapid rate against a database and can quickly detect one that’s been reported stolen.

Jadis said it’s an “excellent tool.”

But even that method is not foolproof.

Thieves who steal a vehicle often then look for a similar vehicle and switch licence plates with it, he said.

The unsuspecting

driver whose plate has been pilfered doesn’t always spot the change because “you don’t always look at your licence plate.”

Meanwhile, the crook roams the roads undetected.

But if police cameras scan the unsuspecting driver, whose car now bears the plate of a stolen car, he’s in for a big surprise – IMPACT officers will soon be closing in to make an arrest.

“That’s happened a few times, we just have to be very careful,” Jadis said.

Violent crime down in B.C. While car thefts and other property crime climbed in 2014, violent crime fell eight per cent in B.C., according to new national statistics.

That was despite 88 homicides across the province, a 15 per cent increase.

The overall B.C. crime rate was little changed, up one per cent.

Thefts under $5,000 were up eight per cent, fraud was up 11 per cent, and property crime of all types rose seven per cent.

Drug violations were down 9.7 per cent and charges for marijuana production or trafficking plunged 45 per cent.

Statistics Canada also posted new crime severity index rankings of major populated centres. The measurement

also includes traffic offences and federal violations not included in the crime rate.

Metro Vancouver area had a crime severity index of 96.7 – the worst in B.C. and much higher than the national average of 66.7.

Only two cities had a higher ranking of crime severity – Regina at 102.8 and Saskatoon at 109.7. The crime severity index was 87.9 in Kelowna, 84.4 in Abbotsford-Mission and 62.8 in Victoria.

pendent and unbiased review is needed because of the “many significant and disturbing assertions about staff conduct” in the ruling.

The government has not decided whether to appeal.

NDP leader John Horgan said the terms of Plecas’ review do not allow him to look at the conduct of the minister and senior staff, and his report goes to Cadieux.

He said Representative

for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has the independence and authority to compel testimony of all concerned.

“I think they don’t want to get to the bottom of this,” Horgan said.

Plecas was involved in the creation of the children’s ministry in the late 1990s. He will work with the Child Welfare League of Canada in developing recommendations.

Free trade in milk, eggs, even logs?

O

ne of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items.

Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.

Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.

The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments.

The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.

The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as BC VIEWS the federal election heats Tom up. The NDP has positioned Fletcher itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on.

Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for

premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills.

The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

Summer is the season when we first get to taste that just-picked juicy peach or the crunchy cucumber fresh from the garden.

Local food, the importance of B.C. agriculture and food security is in the news a lot these days.

Food security? What do you mean? We need to lock up our food?

Well not quite - food security means much more than that. Food security exists when all community members are able to get safe, personally acceptable food through a sustainable food system that maximizes healthy choices, community self-reliance and equal access for everyone.

Prices are going up and many people cannot afford to buy healthy food. The cost of food is rising for a number of reasons including higher gas prices and dry growing areas. It is important to source locally grown food whenever possible, whether it be from your garden or a local farm. Local foods help reduce our dependence on food that travels far distances.

If you are affected by

Supporting local farmers by shopping at markets like the Cranbrook Farmers’ Market is a great way to help build food security in your community. the rising cost of food or if you want to help build food security in your community, there are a number of things you can do: • Start growing your own food! Even if you don’t have a green thumb, there are many fruits and vegetables that are easy to grow.

Start small with one or two patio pots with cucumber or tomatoes and go from there. Ask friends or neighbours who garden for some tips.

• Sign up for a plot at your local community garden or start a community garden if you don’t have one close by.

• Consider joining a local gleaning program.

Volunteers who help pick fruit and veggies get to take some home!

• Support local farmers. Shop at farmers markets or fruit and veggie stands.

• Get involved with a food policy council or food action group.

These groups are involved in projects and programs that help build food security.

Jason Day wins RBC Canadian Open Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

OAKVILLE, Ont. Jason Day birdied his final three holes to overtake Canada’s David Hearn and win the RBC Canadian Open.

Day shot a 4-under 68 Sunday to get to 17 under for the tournament. A birdie on the 18th hole sealed the victory.

“This must feel like what Tiger did for so many times, and it feels good,” Day said. “I’m going to try to do as much as I can and keep it the same and try and win.”

Bubba Watson was second at 16 under, while Hearn was third at 15 under.

“I gave it my all, I

didn’t quite have my best game,” Hearn said.

Hearn was looking to be the first Canadian to win the event since Pat Fletcher in 1954.

“He was playing so good, he started off hot,” Watson said of Hearn. “He putts unbelievable.

There was so many putts that he hit that should’ve fell in.

I don’t know how they stayed out.

“For him and Canada that would’ve been a great story.

That would’ve been his first win. How amazing would that have been?”

The Brantford, Ont., native went into Sunday with a two-shot lead

over Watson, the world’s third-ranked player, and Day, ranked ninth.

Hearn’s entrance to the first tee drew a roar from the crowd.

“I’m real proud of the way I played and I’m really proud to be Canadian today,” Hearn said. “It was a pretty special day with all of the fans and the support that I had from beginning to finish.”

Despite missing with his tee shots, Hearn birdied the first two holes to go up by three.

Bogeys on holes 3 and 7 put Hearn into some predictable trouble, given how well Watson and Day had been play-

ing on the back nine.

Hearn missed birdie putts on 8 and 9 by centimetres, drawing loud “Aws” from the Canadian crowd.

Day was consistent on the back nine and turned his game up with birdies on 16, 17 and 18.

Watson went on a roll to catch up as Hearn faltered.

Lamenting Day’s incredible finish and long birdie putt on 18, Watson pointed out that caddie Ted Scott worked for Grant Waite when he lost to Tiger Woods at the 2000 Canadian Open on arguably the best shot of the legendary golfer’s career.

“They finished second to a great play, and I finished second to a

Jason Day (above) won the PGA’s RBC Canadian Open by one stroke over Bubba Watson. Canadian David Hearn finished third. great play,” Watson said.

Hearn holed an 18foot birdie putt on No. 13, but birdie misses on 14 and 16 ultimately kept him from tying Day. His shot into the bunker on 18 was the end.

As he left his news

conference, Hearn said next year will be the 62nd for questions about Fletcher. Fourthplace finisher Jim Furyk doesn’t expect the drought to last forever.

“It’s a matter of time,” Furyk said. “There are

so many good Canadian players. I feel bad Mike Weir never won this golf tournament. But Graham DeLaet, David, there are a bunch of fine young players, so I’m sure it’s going to happen.”

Pan Am Games end, excitement fuels push for Olympics Paol a Loriggio Canadian Press

TORONTO - First came apathy, then dread. But by the time the Pan American Games wrapped up Sunday, Toronto had been won over by the excitement of the international competition with some calling for the city to make a pitch for the Olympics.

Cheering fans packed

the stands over the 16 days of competition, Canadian athletes reached new heights on home soil, and widespread fears that the city would grind to a standstill never fully materialized.

In the months leading up to the Games, critics had raised concerns over congestion and spending, and questioned whether residents would embrace the larg-

est multi-sport competition ever held on Canadian soil. A story in the New York Times even chided Toronto for its lukewarm reception.

A few bumps early on - a case of chickenpox in the Mexican delegation, defections from the Cuban camp, and transportation delays for commuters and media - faded as enthusiasm for the Games spiked along with Canada’s medal count.

With only a few hours of competition left, Canadian athletes had racked up 77 gold medals - a new national record for the Pan Am Games - and were second to the U.S. in the overall medal standings.

More than 80 Pan Am records were broken over the course of the Games.

The Pan Am Games have revived talk of a bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Both the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee have called for Toronto to make a pitch, but the city’s mayor has said he won’t make a decision until after the Games.

John Tory said this week officials need to examine the benefits and costs involved in a bid and in hosting the Olympics before deciding whether to proceed.

COC president Marcel Aubut said Sunday his office will “lead and advocate for Toronto’s candidacy for the 2024 Olympic Games.”

“I will work closely with the City of Toronto,” said Aubut. “Nothing can be done without

Demand prompted organizers to release an additional 100,000 tickets, bringing the total available for the Pan Am Games to 1.3 million.

Another 200,000 are available for the Parapan Am Games, which begin Aug. 7.

Saad Rafi, CEO of the Games organizing committee, said the Games exceed his expectations.

“Every athlete will tell you that competing at these Games was different than any other experience they’ve had,” he said. “To me, it was just inspiring to see so many people walking around our city with their flag, dressed in red and wearing the Maple

Joey Lye’s single scored a pair of runs and was followed by Jennifer Salling’s sac fly and Erika Polidori’s RBI single.

The Americans scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth, but could not complete the comeback.

The Canadian men won gold earlier at the Games with a 2-1 win over Venezuela.

the mayor, without the city. You need a mayor to start the process.”

The Pan Ams paved the way for an Olympic bid, said Aubut.

“This is the momentum we needed to talk seriously about this,” he said.

The deadline for cities to register their interest with the International Olympic Committee is Sept. 15, with the winning city chosen in 2017.

Toronto has officially bid and lost twice, most recently for the 2008 Summer Games. Officials also discussed possible bids on three other occasions.

Rafi said the Pan Am organizing committee should have a “rough estimate” of its final budget before the bid deadline.

Capital infrastruc-

ture spending has come in about $53.5 million under budget, largely because bidding for major venues was done four to five years ago, organizers said. But the bulk of the operating expenses will be paid after the event because financial reporting follows the fiscal year.

Organizers said in May they had spent about 45 per cent of their $770-million operations budget.

“It’s our objective to be balanced on the operating side or to save some money,” he said Sunday.

Most of the Pan Am Games’ $2.5-billion budget comes from the federal, provincial and Toronto governments, with ticket sales expected to cover about $40 million.

Cooperstown welcomes Johnson, Martinez, Smoltz & Biggio John Kekis Associated Press

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Three pitchers who became dominant after trades and a rock-solid catcher-turned-second baseman entered the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday.

Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio basked in the moment, with at least 40,000 fans cheering one more time.

Many waved Dominican flags for one of their own. Martinez joined former Giants great Juan Marichal as the only Hall of Famers from the Caribbean nation.

“We waited 32 years another Dominican,” Martinez said. “I hope all Dominicans remember this.”

Playing through an era tainted by steroids and ruled by offence compliments of bulkedup sluggers, a smaller strike zone and smaller ballparks - Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz proved indomitable.

They combined for 735 wins, 11,113 strikeouts and nine Cy Young Awards.

Biggio, who played four positions in his 20year career, all with the Houston Astros, was indefatigable, becoming an All-Star at second base and behind the plate.

“We changed the culture in Houston by making it a baseball city,” said Biggio, who grew up on New York’s Long Island.

“To the Astros fans, you guys are the greatest fans in the world.”

Martinez, 219-100 for his career, was the first Red Sox pitcher inducted.

He grew up with five brothers and sisters in a one-room home on the outskirts of Santo Domingo. He credits brother Ramon, a starter with the Dodgers during Pedro’s rookie season in Los Angeles, as a key to his career.

“I have a second dad,” said Martinez, whose blue jacket had emblems

on each arm from his country’s flag. “Ramon, you are my second dad. I followed in his footsteps and it led me to where I am today.”

Remarkably, all three pitchers didn’t stick around with their first clubs very long. Drafted

by Montreal, Johnson made the Expos roster in 1988 and midway through 1989 was traded to the Seattle Mariners.

Smoltz, signed by his hometown Detroit Tigers after being selected on the 22nd round of the 1985 amateur draft, was dealt to Atlanta for veteran Doyle Alexander in August 1987. And the Dodgers traded Martinez to Montreal after the hard-throwing righthander with the pinpoint control had a solid rookie season in the bullpen.

On this day, that was ancient history.

Johnson, at 6-foot-10 the tallest player elected to the Hall of Fame, gave special thanks to his parents. His father died in 1992. His mother,

Carol, was watching from the front row.

“Thank you, mom.

You’re the Hall of Famer,” Johnson said.

Johnson became a 20-game winner in 1997 and won four consecutive Cy Young awards with the Arizona Diamondbacks, leading them to the World Series championship in 2001.

He finished with 303 victories in 22 seasons.

Smoltz won the 1996 Cy Young award and

reached the playoffs 14 times with Atlanta. The Braves won five pennants and the 1995 World Series with Smoltz. He’s the first pitcher to win more than 200 games and save at least 150 games. He’s also the first player inducted with Tommy John surgery on his resume.

Smoltz understood his debt to John.

“I’m a miracle. I’m a medical miracle,” Smoltz

said. “I never took one day for granted.”

Biggio became the only player in MLB history with at least 3,000 hits, 600 doubles, 400 stolen bases and 250 home runs while being asked to play four positions in his 20-year career, all with the Astros.

He thanked coach Matt Galante, who worked tirelessly over six weeks as Biggio made the transition from catcher to second base.

Greinke’s shutout streak ends; Mets edge Dodgers Mike Fitzpatrick Associated Press

NEW YORK - Zack Greinke’s shutout streak ended at 45 2-3 innings when the Mets scored the first of two scratch runs against him, and New York defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 Sunday on newcomer Juan Uribe’s game-winning single off the wall in the 10th.

Jacob deGrom outpitched Greinke in a marquee matchup that lived up to its billing, but Yasmani Grandal hit a

tying single in the ninth as Los Angeles erased a two-run deficit against closer Jeurys Familia, who was trying for a four-out save.

Greinke allowed a run in the third on an RBI grounder by deGrom and another in the sixth when Michael Conforto was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

One day after a mild Mets lineup broke loose for 15 runs and 21 hits, this one was a tight duel between NL AllStars who entered with the two lowest ERAs in the league.

Royals acquire ace RHP Cueto from Reds ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City Royals have acquired ace righthander Johnny Cueto in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds, bolstering their chances of returning to the World Series.

The Royals began Sunday with the best record in the American League. Now they add Cueto to a rotation that lost Jason Vargas to a season-ending elbow injury last week.

The Reds received left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed in Sunday’s deal. Finnegan was Kansas City’s first-round pick in last year’s draft.

Cueto, who is eligible for free agency after the season, was one of the top starters on the market. He pitched eight scoreless innings in Cincinnati’s 5-2 victory at Colorado on Saturday.

Cueto won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your dream life has been active as of late. Spontaneity remains your strong suit. When you find the right idea, you dive into it headfirst. One friend might find your ideas to be worth pursuing, and will join right in. Tonight: Make plans for a visit with a relative in the near future.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating is steaming up. You have many choices to make and many places to go, but a conversation needs to happen prior to heading into the next 24 hours. If someone is irate, try to detach in order to understand what this person’s objections are. Tonight: To the gym.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be too tired to continue on a certain path. Understand what is going on with a loved one. Try not to cut off a conversation before both of you feel satisfied about the matter.

Let go of stress by joining friends later in the day. Tonight: Make a decision soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make sure you have made a solid decision regarding a major change. How you handle a problem could vary considerably depending on what you need to do. Understand that this issue needs to be taken care of.

Tonight: Run errands first, then decide. Make choices for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are energized, and will do whatever appeals to you. Understand what is happening with a child who suddenly decides to do something unusual. Curbing your anger could be close to impossible. Tonight: Say what you feel in such a way that others can hear you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be confident, but you still can’t seem to say “no” to someone. In this case, make it your pleasure to say “yes,” and don’t worry about it. You might be exhibiting a conflict within. You will understand soon enough what is going on.

Tonight: Head home soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be in a position where

Tundra

you must reach out for someone else. Friends support you in your ventures. It is likely that you will have to deal with a difficult associate or adviser. Don’t fall into a pit of silence when you hit a disagreement. Tonight: Respond to a request.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to someone whom you trust in order to discuss your options. Though you might not always agree with the feedback you get, you will be able to evaluate the situation with this person’s help. Understand what your objective is. Tonight: You are on top of your game.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be in a position where you feel as if there is no other option. Listen to news and be more aware of what is happening around you. A one-on-one conversation might be difficult; you’ll want to cut it short before any harsh words are said.

Tonight: As you like it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to do more thinking than acting right now.

Follow-through counts, and

you need to demonstrate that skill. Honor a change within, and see what occurs when you respond to a volatile situation in a calm way. Tonight: Take some much-needed time off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Decide to do something positive just for you. Sometimes you give so much of yourself that you feel drained. The time has come to switch gears and be good to yourself. Open up conversations that are meaningful for you.

Tonight: Touch base with an old pal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be more forthright in your decisions, as others sometimes find you to be confusing. They can’t seem to get a good grasp on what is happening or on what you want. Be aware of the costs of not being direct in other areas of your life. Tonight: Take a stand.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: How do you cope with a friendship where the person stays connected just enough to continually remind you of how unimportant you are?

I have a friend with whom I was once quite close. We exercised and ran errands together, and when she was seriously ill, I spent countless hours visiting, reading to her and just being there. I donated to her charities, sang in her choir, and we always had fun together.

But after I was diagnosed with the same illness (now recovered), she visited me only twice and now seems too busy to get together. That would be bad enough. But the real problem is that she texts me often to say how much she misses me or to ask for a favor, but apparently never wants to see me. It’s a sad reminder of how little she is willing to do to maintain the friendship.

We live in a small town and I can’t cut her off without repercussions. Is my only option to simply live with the disappointment? -- Friend in Need Dear Friend: You have another option: Talk to her about it. Not everyone is good about friendship maintenance. Some people become so busy that they neglect people who are otherwise important to them, and don’t recognize that this behavior is hurtful. For them, texting becomes a convenient substitute for face-to-face interactions that require scheduling and organization.

You won’t know whether this is the case unless you ask your friend directly.

We hope she will be completely honest about the reasons for her dismissive attitude. At the very least, you will be able to determine how much she cares by how sincerely apologetic she is and whether she does anything to remedy the situation. After all, what do you have to lose?

Dear Annie: My granddaughter just hosted a birthday party for her year-old baby with 100 people in attendance.

The child was lavished with beautiful, expensive gifts. When I asked my granddaughter if she had written thankyou notes for the lovely presents, she informed me that “this isn’t done for birthdays” and the subject was closed.

I am livid over this pompous act of entitlement by my usually kind and thoughtful grandchild. But this is a pattern I have seen with lots of children who were never taught how to express gratitude well, and this lack of training is passing to the next generation.

I have come up with a solution that I can live with. I am having “Thank You” notes printed with my grandchildren’s names, adding Forever stamps and handing them out at Christmas. -- R.J. Dear R.J.: We hope this works for you, but we aren’t optimistic. Nonetheless, your granddaughter isn’t entirely wrong. Birthday gifts that are opened in front of the givers with appropriate verbal thanks offered at the time do not require a written thank-you note afterward, although that is always a nice touch and makes a good impression. What we find tacky is the lavish birthday party for a year-old baby that includes 100 guests.

Lilah Eileen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Lilah passed away on July 15, 2015. She was born in Baldwinton, Saskatchewan on October 8, 1922.

She leaves a lifetime of love and cherished memories with her son Bob (Debbie) Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, her daughters Regan (Bob) Misuraca, Mary Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Lilah Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien (Irvine), her son-in-law Greg Lunde, her grandchildren Michael (Sue), Colin, Tim (Carmen), Aaron, Ben (Crystal), Adam and Megan, her great-grandson Skyler, her sister Shirley Weeks and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by Bob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, her husband and partner in adventure of 67 years, her beloved daughter Keitha, her parents Peter and Alison Robertson, and her brother Les Robertson.

Lilah spent her life devoted to the care and enjoyment of her family. Her days were centered on providing a home filled with sharing home-cooked meals accompanied with lively conversation and collaboration of interests.

She spent endless hours in her garden to provide the freshest berries and vegetables and to nurture a beautiful and eclectic collection of shrubs and flowers while her yard hummed with the plans, plots, games and projects of the neighbourhood. Her autumns were a buzz of canning and preserving treats not to be cracked open until the first snow flew. Winter hours were filled with sewing, quilting, knitting and crocheting for her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort.

With her family, she delighted in camping, hiking, skiing and exploring the mountain woods and parks, sharing her extensive knowledge of birds and plants encountered there. She also spent many years scouring the woods and hills of the Kootenays, the parks and the surrounding countryside with the incredible group of hiking ladies on their weekly excursions and extended backpacking adventures. Her memory of routes and wild places was extraordinary.

Lilah appreciated the warm and caring people she routinely encountered in Kimberley and was always grateful for their interest and support. She accepted each new challenge with interest and optimism and continued to enjoy the everyday, simple experiences of life. Her down-to-earth common sense and her delight in the joy and accomplishments of her family and friends will be a continuing inspiration to those who knew her.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no service.

Newport Jazz Festival celebrates 60th anniversary of Miles Davis’ historic debut Ch a r l e s J. G a ns Associated Press

NEW YORK - Miles Davis wasn’t even listed in the program book when he appeared for the first time at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1955, but he made his presence felt with a career-reviving performance.

This year’s program book is Miles-centric as the festival, which begins Friday, celebrates the 60th anniversary of the late jazz legend’s historic Newport debut.

Newport festival founder George Wein recalls that weeks before the 1955 festival, he ran into Davis at a New York jazz club. Wein had created the first-ever outdoor jazz festival in the Rhode Island seaside resort the year before, and Davis asked if he was going to do it again.

“I said yes, and Miles said, ‘You can’t have a festival without me,’ and he kept repeating that,” said Wein, who at 89 is still producing the festival.

But Davis, who had just kicked a heroin habit, didn’t have his own band. Wein arranged to add him to an all-star jam session that also included pianist Thelonious Monk and baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan.

“Miles was the hit of the festival,” Wein said.

“He put his trumpet right into the microphone and it came through loud and clear on ‘Round Midnight.”’

Herbie Hancock, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams - at their peak.

This year’s festival will feature panel discussions focusing on Davis, curated by Grammy-winning jazz historian Ashley Kahn, which will include interviews with Wein and former Davis sidemen, drummer Jack DeJohnette and guitarist Mike Stern, at a new intimate indoor stage named after Wein’s former Storyville jazz club in Boston.

DeJohnette performed with Davis at the 1969 festival with a group that included Chick Corea on electric keyboard as the trumpeter was making the transition from acoustic jazz to jazz-rock fusion music. Davis spent the weekend checking out the rock bands on the program such as Sly and the Family Stone and Led Zeppelin, and just weeks later began recording his groundbreaking electronic “Bitches Brew” album.

“Wayne Shorter was supposed to play that day at Newport, but got delayed and we played as a quartet with Miles really stretching ... and the result was pretty exciting,” said DeJohnette, who will be performing this year with his band Made In Chicago. “It was a real open experimental time. Everyone was reaching for different new ways to express their music and break down boundaries.”

Hundreds attend Mass to protest Detroit Satan statue that hundreds lined up to see Associated Press

DETROIT - Several hundred people have attended a Mass at a Detroit Catholic church to protest an 8 1/2foot (2.6-meter)-tall bronze statue of Satan that hundreds of people also lined up to see.

The Satanic Temple had said it would unveil the statue Saturday at a Detroit location that only people with tickets would know. Hundreds lined up Saturday evening to get the tickets as Christian protesters rallied nearby.

Earlier Saturday, The Detroit News says 200-250 people attended Mass at St. Joseph Church in a protest against the Satanic event.

The statue had been planned for the state capitol in Oklahoma City until Oklahoma’s Supreme Court banned all religious displays on Capitol grounds.

The Satanic Temple now says it wants to erect it outside Arkansas’ statehouse, where a Ten Commandments monument also is planned.

Cuba remembers start of 1953 revolution by calling on United States to end embargo Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Cuba - A week after reopening its embassy in Washington, Cuba is marking the anniversary of its 1953 revolution with a celebration and a call for the U.S. to end its embargo and close its naval base at Guantanamo.

Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, a leader of the Communist Party, said Sunday that lifting the embargo and returning the military base to Cuba

must be part of the “long road” toward normalized relations.

Machado Ventura’s comments came as he sat in front of Raul Castro.

The Cuban leader, wearing a military uniform, did not speak to the crowd.

The ceremony marked the 62nd anniversary of the assault on the Moncado barracks, considered the start of the revolution that was led by Raul and Fidel Castro and toppled the government of Fulgencio Batista.

During his Key West years, Hemingway wrote the novel “To Have and Have Not.”

Saskatchewan and the Senate: Why Harper’s policy pronouncement came now St e p h a nie Le v itz Canadian Press

When the Calgary Stampede ends and the last pancakes are flipped, the white cowboy hats put away in their boxes, Stephen Harper usually heads to the official prime minister’s summer residence at Harrington Lake.

There, like many a prime minister before him, he spends the waning days of July and early August on semi-vacation. Things start booting up again in mid-August, and Harper’s official return to the spotlight comes with the annual Arctic tour.

But this is no usual year.

As NDP Leader Tom Mulcair continues his tour of the country and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau begins his own political circuit, Harper also came out of his

lakefront comfort zone earlier than expected.

Tthe issue that took him there was the Senate.

Since the Supreme Court ruling on Senate reform in 2014, there’s been pressure in the Conservative caucus to find a new way forward on overhauling the upper chamber, consistently bogged down in scandal for the last three years.

The ruling tied the government’s hands to act unilaterally. It declared reform would require a constitutional amendment approved by at least seven provinces with 50 per cent of the population. Abolition would require unanimous provincial consent.

But caucus didn’t want to let the issue rest. When canvassed late last year as part of the process of building

the campaign platform, a number put forward ideas on how changes could take place.

That desire stemmed from the old days of the Reform party, when Senate reform was a hallmark of party policy. Many of the old guard weren’t prepared to let it drop.

Retiring Edmonton MP Peter Goldring, who was first elected as a Reform MP, is among them.

He issued a statement on Friday, laying out one of his ideas — that the Governor General alone do the appointments.

“Senators should be selected by the Governor General, as our Constitution presently describes, based possibly additionally on the recommendation of the provincial lieutenant governors such that the partisan aspect that is at

the heart of the current scandal will greatly diminish.”

Consensus for a proposal to go forward wasn’t reached, and the divergent views were merely noted and handed off.

Initially, Friday’s announcement — a formal moratorium on appointing new senators — was meant to be timed for close to the official campaign call, an event that could be as late as Sept. 13, or as early as within the next 10 days, as some are speculating now.

Part of it was designed to thwart the NDP’s policy for Senate abolition by emphasizing the matter really rests with the provinces, as Harper did Friday by saying he’ll no longer appoint new senators until the provinces figure out reform or agree to abolish.

Harper had been hearing from those around him that he should get the announcement out ahead of the campaign as a way to keep it out of the campaign. One piece of advice on his desk argued that since there’s little the federal government can do, why make it a platform issue.

But the criminal case involving one of the former stars of the Conservative party, suspended Sen. Mike Duffy, resumes in two weeks time with the first witness expected to be former chief of staff to the prime minister, Nigel Wright.

So with the Senate likely to leap back into the spotlight in the early days of the campaign, the Conservatives also knew people would be reminded of their failure to achieve that original campaign pledge.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall was a useful ally to be by Harper’s side for the policy pronouncement.

Wall is an advocate for abolishing the Senate and also a man whose name continues to float around as a possible successor to Harper one day.

His province too is important.

While the Conservatives don’t want to talk about the Senate during the campaign, they also don’t want their staunchest supporters

to think they’ve just given up, even if that’s what the Supreme Court has virtually forced them to do.

Riding redistribution has thrown formerly safe Conservative seats up for grabs, boosting the fortunes of the NDP. And that party’s position has long been that the Senate just needs to be abolished.

Maybe, Mulcair joked Friday, Harper’s next step is to take another similar position grow a beard, just like him.
