Park closed after sewage leak Effluent surfaces near beach at Morningside Park in Hammond Bay; fourth leak in the last two years ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Morningside Park on Hammond Bay Road is closed to the public until further notice. The closure is the result of a leak in the treated sewage effluent outfall line from the nearby Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre, which is operated by the Regional District of Nanaimo. The leak has resulted in treated
effluent surfacing near the beach in the park. It’s the fourth leak in the approximately 45 year-old outfall pipe in the last two years. Mike Linder and his children swim frequently in the ocean waters off the park and were there on Tuesday when the leak was first discovered. “It’s pretty disturbing considering my kids and about a dozen others were in the water at the
time,” Linder said. “I’m just hopping mad about it. I rushed my kids home and got them in the shower and I don’t think we’ll be swimming there again anytime soon.” The pollution control centre is in the middle of an $18-million sewer pipe replacement project, but the old pipes that take the treated effluent offshore have yet to be replaced. Sean De Pol, manager of waste-
water services for the RDN, said the district is working as quickly as possible to repair the pipe, which runs through the park. He said officials from Island Health have been at the site, as well as the adjacent Neck Point Park, to take water samples to determine the level of contamination. But he said, in his experience, it’s unlikely that enough effluent would have been released to have
any impacts on the beaches at Neck Point, which are popular with swimmers at this time of year. “We’re hoping to have the problem fixed on Thursday” De Pol said. “We had to stop digging on Wednesday afternoon when the tide started to come in.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

Sweaty staff members last less than 40 minutes inside sizzling car JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
W
ith record temperatures scorching us through July, it seems like every other week there’s a reminder from the police or the local SPCA about not leaving dogs in hot cars. And yet it still happens. On July 18, an officer had to shatter a car window to release a large German Shepherd cross that had been left inside for an estimated 40 minutes. To me, however, it seems less an issue of intentional neglect and more a crime of memory — either people simply forget the animal is out there or they don’t quite realize quite how hot it is, and that they’ll only be away from the car for a moment. It was with this in mind that photographer Aaron Hinks suggested we should lock ourselves in a hot car outside the office to see how long we could last. The temperature was about 26 C, with a breeze that made the heat fairly tolerable, so I agreed. I got my first twinge of uncertainty when Aaron informs me that the thermometer he has placed in the car outside is already maxed out at more than 50 degrees. Though I’m fighting the urge to chicken out, Aaron sets up a camera on the dashboard and we close the doors. Three minutes: “Imagine if you were a dog in here, it would be like you were wearing a mink coat,” says Aaron, whose forehead is already dewy. “And dogs can’t even sweat like we can.” Six minutes: Aaron’s on the sunny side of the car and his

Video: www.nanaimodailynews.com arms are getting wet. Sweat is trickling down his forehead. I still feel fairly comfortable and suggest we switch sides so I get the hot seat. One aspect I hadn’t considered was the lack of air circulation. It seems harder to keep cool when the very air you’re breathing is hot. Nine minutes: I’m still not sweating. Aaron tells me a story about how he found a tiny dog bouncing around in a hot car earlier this summer and waited for at least 10 minutes for the owner to emerge. She had gone in to get a

sandwich and become caught up in the grocery store crowds. “It’s fine for us because we know we can get out whenever we want, but think about just being locked in here,” he says. His shirt and pants are getting soaked. 12 minutes: It’s getting difficult to breathe and decidedly uncomfortable. I think about the stories of babies being left in cars to die by otherwise well-meaning parents. It seems a double tragedy, like the Dallas county hospital CEO whose seven-month-old daughter died after she left her in the car while she rushed headlong into a hectic day of meetings, thinking she’d dropped her

off at daycare with her brother. It’s hard not to feel bad for both her and the baby. We all make mistakes, it’s just that most of us have been lucky enough catch them before they turned fatal. 19 minutes: Sweat is dribbling down my chest and I don’t like the experiment anymore. I look at Aaron, who is squinting through dripping eyes at the camera. It’s stopped recording and has overheated. He puts it on the floor where it’s slightly cooler and in desperation I wonder if we should try crouching down there, too. See HOT, Page A6

Funding flows across the Island Projects in Nanaimo, Parksville, Cowichan, Victoria and others all receive some federal funding DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
It’s been raining money in the form of federal funding announcements in Vancouver Island communities in recent weeks. John Duncan, who seeks re-election in the newly created Courtenay-Alberni riding has been making most of those announcements. Some pundits are calling it “Christmas in July,” due to the rapid rate of announcements.
Some recent federal funding examples: • July 28: Nanaimo Curling Club: $50,000, Parksville conference centre: $141,225, Cowichan community centre: $46,000, Port Alberni recycling depot: $55,100, Cherry Creek community hall: $20,000, Lake Cowichan, park upgrades: $500,000, Ahousaht Indian Band gymnasium floor: $22,750, Ucluelet skateboard park: $60,950. • July 27: $100,000 senior mental health initiative (Nanaimo
announcement), Whiskey Creek water system, $145,266, Alert Bay sewer upgrade, $263,231. •July 23: $560,134 to build the Comox Marina Centre Meeting Place. Some others: $3 million, Englishman River water treatment project (Parksville); $7.4 million, Westshore Parkway extension (Victoria). Nanaimo-Alberni MP Jean Crowder voiced her unhappiness at not being included. “It’s pretty shocking,” said Crowder.

“Sometimes community organizations, if they’re not totally in fear of the Conservatives, will tell me about it and I’ll show up.” Excluding local MPs is “highly disrespectful of the community and the choice they made to represent them,” Crowder said. “This is pretty unusual,” said University of Victoria political scientist Michael Prince. “The most recent example was in 2008 (when) the world was going into an economic crisis.”
While many of the projects are needed, Prince said it’s unusual to exclude local MPs. “This is parliamentary money, not government money — it’s voted in by parliament — the entire House of Commons, and at the end of the day we are represented by the party in the particular constituency,” said Prince.

Caledonia Clinic for sale with $3.3M tab ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The Caledonia Clinic building in downtown Nanaimo is for sale for $3.3 million. The clinic, which has been in operation at the corner of Campbell Street and Wallace Street since 1959, is well known for its walk-in clinic, drug store and lab services, particularly for those living in the downtown core. Gerry Van Vaals, a commercial realtor with DTZ Nanaimo, said the building’s current tenants won’t be evicted, regardless who buys the facility. “It should be made clear that the Caledonia Clinic will stay exactly as it is,” Van Vaals said. He said the five tenants in the building, which include the Caledonia Clinic and its walk-in services, LifeLabs, Central Drugs, specialists, and a physiotherapist, have locked-in long-term leases that any new owners must honour. “The facility currently has good and strong tenants and the owners are selling it as an investment property, with the tenants remaining in place.” The structure is listed on

Resident unhappy with lack of parking signage DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
A Nanaimo man who believed he had found a loophole in the city’s parking regulations wound up getting his car impounded with a $950 towing and storage fee. George Oliver restores buildings for a living and lives in an old Victoria Crescent building, without parking spaces. When he took a job in Nova Scotia in early March, he followed a friend’s advice to park his 1980 cube van on a small, city-owned parking lot on Nicol Street at Finlayson Street. “It’s one of the few with no signs saying there is a time limit,” Oliver said. “It’s a loophole in their parking (regulations). And the point was, it was under-used, so I thought I would use it for three months.” Oliver doesn’t own a cellphone, so he didn’t realize while he was in Nova Scotia city bylaw officials were trying hard to reach him about what looked like an abandoned vehicle. “On the 25th of May we received a complaint this car was parked

there,” said Rod Davidson, bylaw parking manager. “We drove by, found the vehicle and did the normal — we chalked the tire. Two days later, we noticed the chalk still on the tire.” On June 1, a ticket was issued for parking longer than 24 hours. City bylaws make it an offence to leave a vehicle stationary longer than 24 hours in any city lot, or on any city street. “Our procedure is we always give a warning,” Davidson said. He said staff make every effort to notify the owner, “so we don’t

have to remove the vehicle.” City staff traced the vehicle registration to Oliver, but there was no phone number, so someone rapped on his door, but Oliver was still in Nova Scotia. “Then we went back and stuck a big orange sticker on his vehicle, saying we’re going to tow it.” It was towed on June 5. Oliver didn’t have his mail forwarded while away, so he missed the notices until his return, July 12. By then the total was $800. Oliver was surprised to learn about the 24-hour parking limit, and said “until they post a set time, what am I to think?” “We don’t sign for most of our regulatory bylaws,” Davidson said. But he said parking on a city pay lot is $75 a month, and “that works out to $3 a day.” Oliver hopes to retrieve his vehicle sometime in August. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235
DTZ Nanaimo’s website as a well-maintained, two-storey commercial building located on four lots, totalling approximately one acre. It offers approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of leased premises and is zoned DT-3, which permits some residential and a variety of commercial uses with retail at the street level. Van Vaals said the building is owned by a group of doctors with connections to the clinic. He said the doctors decided to sell because it was the “right time” for it in the commercial market place. Van Vaals said he believes the $3.3 million price tag for the property is fair. “In fact, it’s right on the money in the current market place,” he said. “The building has only been on the market for four days and we’re already seeing some interest in purchasing it, although I can’t divulge who they are at this time.”
All-candidates meeting Saturday at Costin Hall ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Byelection fever will take full flight in the District of Lantzville this weekend with an all-candidates meeting scheduled for Saturday at Costin Hall. The meeting runs from 3-5 p.m. The first day of advance polls was Wednesday at the district office and the same will occur on Aug. 5 at the same place. Election day is Aug. 8 where all votes will be cast at Costin Hall. The meeting will be moderated by former Nanaimo councillor Fred Pattje with admission by donation. Candidates will have three minutes to introduce themselves and they will then be drawn at random from a hat to answer 12 questions on topics such as the official community plan, water and council civility, confirmed Wallace. Thirty seconds will be given to answer questions and submitted
questions will then be taken from the audience, as well as those emailed in prior to. Candidates will then have one minute each to close. Organizer Jamie Wallace says he’s delighted the meeting is taking place. “There are a number of people running that most people in Lantzville are unfamiliar with. Most people want to see good ideas on some of the issues such as our water issue, which is obviously a real hot topic.” Jennifer Bielewski, Bob Colclough, Mike Donald, John English, Richard Finnegan, Will Geselbracht, Warren Griffey, Joan Moody, Dot Neary, Doug Parkhurst, Peter Popperl and Mark Swain all aim to fill one of the four vacant seats on council.

Be alert for fraudsters and scams artists
T
he old saying continues to ring true — if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. We’ve written countless stories of folks victimized by scams of all types — online, over the phone and in person. Most don’t have a happy ending. For one sharp Nanaimo woman this week, however, there was a more pleasant outcome to a potential scam, and her actions serve as a good reminder for others. When Joy Livingstone got word she’d won $40 million and a new Mercedes Benz, she instinctively knew it was a scam. An active captain in the Nanaimo Block Watch program, she has heard plenty of lines used to reel people in to hand over their savings.
When a man who identified himself as ‘Scott Davis’ told her she’d won a big prize, she said: “I don’t believe a word of what you are saying.” The man said he was with Ontario Lottery and Gaming, and could be at her house in 30 minutes. She said not to bother, then after a few more words, she hung up. Police say she handled it correctly. “She was assertive and would not fall for the obvious fraud,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP. “She ended the conversation on her terms and then reported it to the police and her Block Watch.” Unfortunately, not everyone is always as alert as Livingstone. She told police that as the caller was hanging up, he moaned
“they never believe me.” While that’s normally true, it only takes one. Scammers can cast out a thousand lines, hoping only to catch one big fish. We’re reminded of the case earlier this year when an elderly Nanaimo woman lost $125,000 to an online scammer. The woman befriended a man on Facebook, developed what she thought was a relationship and began sending him money to help fix his work equipment. The requests escalated until the woman finally became suspicious, and called police. By then, it was too late. O’Brien correctly reminds us “if you can’t verify their existence online, don’t even get into a conversation with them.”
He also pointed out the increasing prevalance of phone frauds. “We get reports almost every day.” While the stories change over time, the approach is always the same, said O’Brien. “They offer a reward, but there’s always a catch. It may be an administrative fee, or they may need credit card information. We tell people anytime there’s a catch, it’s fraud.” There’s also any number of scams on the go at any given time in any city. Con artists sometimes go doorto-door, offering repairs they aren’t qualified to perform, or as representatives of charity groups. Tradesmen should have references, and can be checked through chambers of commerce
and the Better Business Bureau. Increasingly, residents have had calls from people claiming to be RCMP or members of the Canada Revenue Agency, collecting fines or income tax. Very elderly people are often targets. If family members know they are active online, perhaps monitor their actions. We repeat our message yet again: if you encounter something you find fishy, report it. You can call the police, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888495-8501) or the competition bureau (1-800-348-5358). And don’t forget to tell your friends to be careful. » We want to hear from you.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Look at which party has best initiatives for all Re: ‘Minister announces more than $1M earmarked for forest sector training’ and ‘NDP wants coalition to oust Tories’ (Daily News, July 24) These contrasting Conservative Party and NDP announcements should eliminate any uncertainty about which party is better for Canada. Conservative Minister of State Michelle Rempel announced a mobile, jobs-oriented training program for students who could not afford to study away from home. It was consistent with other Conservative programs supporting Canadian families and students, such as increased Universal Child Care Benefits, the expanded Student Grants program, the Learning Bond, and the Apprentice Loan program. In contrast, the NDP announced that it will seek a coalition simply to defeat the Conservatives. The NDP scheme could repeat the coalition crisis of November 2008, when back room negotiations among the NDP, Liberals, and the separatist Bloc Quebecois forced the Governor General to suspend Parliament six weeks after the
election of a Conservative minority government. This October voters have a clear choice between a gamble and a sure thing. The NDP advocates voting for an unpredictable coalition with undecided policies. The Conservatives have delivered helpful educational initiatives, predictable health care funding, secure pensions, low taxes, stability, and opportunities that make Canada the envy of the world. Don’t gamble in a voting booth. A Conservative majority is essential to protect both Canada’s future and the accumulated work of a generation.
evidence of a far wider cutline than admitted for a massive, proposed ditch connecting the lower lake to Harewood Creek, yet another useless;expensive, boondoggle. I understand that the provincial government has egg on its face, having been embarrassed when our dams were proven to be structurally sound enough to handle earthquakes. But coercing council to approve spending your taxes on another hare-brained project seems to me to smack of petty revenge. And that readers, is why citizens are standing up for the park.

Colliery Dams Park changes raise concerns
Lantzville voters can reinvigorate council
Colliery Dams Park continues to be threatened by expensive, unnecessary projects: An early alignment of the Nanaimo Parkway was slated to go right below the lower dam; an unneeded waterline cut a swathe between the lakes; and the new water purification system took out even more forest. Now schematic drawings show
Lantzville voters have a rare opportunity in coming days to correct a very messy and unusual situation through a “do-over” of last year’s municipal election. No fewer than four councillors elected last November – two of them returning incumbents – abandoned their voters and their oaths of office this spring and resigned, declar-
ing the newly-elected council “dysfunctional.” The shock of a majority of newly elected members of council walking out on the folks who’d elected them was a needless embarrassment to the whole community, and stalled important Lantzville business decisions. The upside of this action was to jar many local residents into action. For the Aug. 8 byelection a dozen people will compete for the four vacated positions on council. An all-candidate meeting on Saturday (3-5 p.m. at Costin Hall) will help residents to get acquainted with new candidates and their positions. Lantzville residents have an opportunity to refresh and reinvigorate our council. Let’s take a careful look at every candidate — and this time, let’s not blow it.

Port Authority collaborating with university DAILY NEWS
Vancouver Island University and the Nanaimo Port Authority recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote collaboration between the organizations. VIU president Ralph Nilson said the MOU will strengthen the partnership between the two groups by outlining key objectives for collaboration in order to support the educational, social, environmental and economical prosperity of the region. “VIU is focused on fostering and creating prosperous and
sustainable communities in our region,” he said. “ To do this, we must build strong community partnerships, as reflected in the MOU with the NPA. I’d like to thank the people at the NPA for their leadership and I look forward to working with them on new initiatives that will allow us to continue to build a strong and prosperous region.” The objectives outlined in the MOU include developing opportunities for educational and research activities to creating enhanced learning opportunities for VIU’s students, as well as
joint initiatives the organizations can work on in order to enhance the sustainability of the marine environment. Bernie Dumas, president of the NPA, said the MOU provides the port authority a key community partner in the development of the economy and environmental prosperity for Vancouver Island. “This agreement also reflects our continued relationship with VIU, an organization that shares the Nanaimo Port Authority’s same vision and respect for our Island,” Dumas said. “VIU is a special partner and mentor for success.”

Firefighters called in to fight large forest fire east of Cowichan Lake Firefighters from Lake Cowichan and Sahtlam were called to combat a large forest fire near Skutz Falls late afternoon on Tuesday, visible from both ends of Highway 18. The blaze was still burning as of Wednesday, and is located on Skutz Falls Road, 10 kilometres east of Cowichan Lake. Though crews first speculated that there could be two separate fires, it was confirmed that they were dealing with one 10-hectare fire. According to Coastal Fire Centre information officer Marg Drysdale, the fire broke out on private forested land in slash (bucked and felled timber) amidst a steep slope. “There are only certain areas of the fire they can work on, so they’re doing a lot of bucketing and other work on the edges,” Drysdale said. “There’s also concern of rolling debris — it’s a whole different beast.”

When pressed whether a decision will come during Obama’s remaining year-and-a-half in office, however, he replied: “Yes.� Any imminent pipeline decision could become an issue in national elections in Canada and the U.S., as different parties point fingers over how the file was handled.

ALEXANDER PANETTA THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — The White House says a decision will be made on the Keystone XL pipeline while President Barack Obama is still in office, as rumours swirl that the long-delayed project is on the verge of rejection. It’s not saying when the decision will come or what it will be. A spokesman for the president was asked Wednesday about the issue after a Republican lawmaker declared that he’d heard from his sources that the Canada-U.S. pipeline will be rejected in an announcement next month. Spokesman Eric Schultz

wouldn’t confirm or deny that rumour, which had been circulating around the U.S. capital before Sen. John Hoeven raised it this week on the Senate floor. “I’m not sure I would classify (Hoeven) as a confidant of our
treating its neighbour, Canada, compared with its handling of long-standing rival Iran. The White House has given lawmakers 60 days to decide on a nuclear deal that would allow Iran to boost oil exports, while it’s taken years to decide on an oil export pipeline for Canada. Schultz said the two files can’t be compared: “For us those are entirely separate and unrelated issues.� Prime Minister Stephen Harper once called it a “no-brainer,� and has described it as inevitable. Harper has said that the project made sense from an economic and environmental standpoint and would happen eventually even if the signals from the current president looked ominous.
Fiat Chrysler buybacks not for Canadians THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A U.S. order requiring Fiat Chrysler to buy back thousands of Dodge Ram pickups and Chrysler SUVs does not apply to Canada, a discrepancy that highlights a weakness in consumer protection here, national advocacy groups say. The US$105-million fine and buyback program for up to a third of 579,000 vehicles was imposed on Fiat Chrysler by the U.S. government on Monday. Transport Canada, unlike its American counterpart, has limited authority to force automakers to address safety issues and impose punishments. Transport Canada spokeswoman Linda Licari confirmed in an email that the department does not have the power to compel a buyback like the one in the U.S.

Murdered man may have more heirs THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — It appears a baby girl possibly fathered by a murdered West Vancouver millionaire will have to share the fortune with siblings. The girl’s mother, Xuan Yang, has claimed in court documents that her daughter is sole heir to the $50-million estate of Gang Yuan. But a lawyer for Gang’s family has come forward saying the man actually fathered several children,
meaning the wealth will have to be divided among the children. Chris Johnson, the lawyer for Gang’s mother and brother, said he’s puzzled by the approach taken by Xuan, the man’s former lover. “(My clients) don’t stand to gain or lose from letting some children be his children and others not,” said Johnson. The tale of money, gruesome death and murky relationships returned to the limelight after a B.C.
Supreme Court recently ordered paternity testing for Xuan’s infant. The daughter of the Chinese woman, believed living in the United States with mom, would by law inherit the man’s fortune if proven his only offspring, as Xuan claims. But Johnson says “several” children — some living in Vancouver and others living in China — have already been DNA tested. The paternity investigation proved Gang was their dad too, he said.

Accused wanted spiritual guidance, terror trial hears “If Allah thinks it’s forbidden to kill civilians and doesn’t accept my jihad, then I’m going to go to hellfire.”
LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A man who alleges he was entrapped by undercover Mounties begged for religious guidance before he was to carry out an attack on the provincial legislature, a court has heard. John Nuttall pleaded with an undercover officer posing as a jihadi extremist several times starting in May 2013 for a “brother” to answer his questions, including whether Islam permitted the killing of innocent people, B.C. Supreme Court heard Wednesday. “I need spiritual guidance,” he said in tran-

scripts read in court. “This is my soul we’re talking about, my wife’s soul. If Allah thinks it’s forbidden to kill civilians and doesn’t accept my jihad, then I’m going to go to hellfire.” Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody, both recent converts to Islam,
were found guilty last month of planning to detonate homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the B.C. legislature on Canada Day in 2013. The couple’s lawyers are in court to argue they were manipulated — that they feared they would be killed by officers posing as al-Qaida agents if they didn’t follow through with a terrorist attack. A Mountie responsible for training undercover officers to pass as jihadi extremists testified on Wednesday that the operation’s commander emailed him in May 2013 to ask if he would pose as an imam.

letter, which was obtained by the local Fox television affiliate, KMSP. During the nighttime hunt, the Zimbabwean men tied a dead animal to their car to draw the lion out of a national park, said Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force. The American is believed to have shot the lion with a crossbow. The wounded cat was then tracked for 40 hours before Palmer fatally shot him with a gun, Rodrigues said. A couple of hundred protesters gathered Wednesday outside Palmer’s office with signs, including one that said, “Let the hunter be hunted!� Cecil is believed to have been killed July 1 and his carcass discovered days later.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota dentist who has become the target of worldwide outrage for hunting and killing a protected lion in Zimbabwe advised patients Wednesday to seek care elsewhere and said he rarely discussed his big-game hunting because it can be a “divisive and emotionally charged topic.� Walter James Palmer remained secluded in the face of protests at his suburban Minneapolis clinic and intense condemnation online. He has not appeared in public since being identified Tuesday as a party to the lion’s death. Palmer is an active big-game hunter, with many kills to his name,
some of them registered with hunting clubs. In Zimbabwe, a hunting guide and a farm owner appeared in court on allegations they helped Palmer kill the lion named Cecil. And the head of Zimbabwe’s safari association said the big cat with the black mane was lured into the kill zone and denied “a chance of a fair chase.� The Zimbabwean men were accused of aiding Palmer, who reportedly paid $50,000 to track and kill a lion. Zimbabwe police have said they are looking for Palmer, whose exact whereabouts were unknown. Palmer, 55, referenced the situation in a note to his patients. “I understand and respect that not everyone shares the same views on hunting,� he wrote in the

To Plan or Not To Plan Some Real-Life Experiences
There’s no question about it. Thinking about our own mortality is not something that’s easy for any of us. But facing up to reality, and making the necessary preparations for our own funerals – planning logistics, coordinating providers and handling all the other details – may well be one of the most selfless and loving acts we’ll ever perform. After all leaving your family with the task of making decisions in an unfamiliar situation, at a time of great emotional strain can only add to their grief and sense of loss. It also increases the risk of making decisions that could be a source of future regret. Even if you live near your family in a close-knit community, the choices to be made among funeral homes, florists, and cemeteries can be overwhelming to your family. And if you’re a relative newcomer to your community, or without family members living nearby, arranging your own memorial celebration ahead of time is absolutely essential. Consider the following example‌.. In a recent letter to a popular syndicated columnist, a reader cited the experience of a close friend to show how lack of prior planning can create unnecessary anguish and confusion.
After becoming widowed, the friend was invited and moved in with her son and his family on the other side of the country. When she eventually died in her new community, family members knew only that she wanted to be interred with her husband who was buried back in their home town. They had no idea where her legal documents, such as her will, cemetery deed and insurance papers were filed. As a result, there was considerable chaos involving lawyers, bankers, and insurance companies in two different provinces – all of which could have been avoided with proper planning. Even more painful for the family was they had no idea what kind of funeral she may have wanted – or even where it should be. The message is clear: failing to plan ahead can make things difficult for your family at the very moment they’re most vulnerable – and force them into making decision they’re unprepared for. By taking the time to educate yourself and plan for your own funeral ahead of time, you’ll be contributing to a legacy that is certain to be appreciated and cherished by those you leave behind. It is, in a very real sense, the ultimate expression of your love.

Election call may be as soon as Sunday Tories want TPP deal wrapped before writ drops ANDY BLATCHFORD THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Conservatives are anxiously hoping to sign off on a massive free-trade deal before kicking off an election campaign that’s expected to start as early as Sunday. The federal government is at the negotiating table in Hawaii, where Trans-Pacific Partnership talks are reportedly in their final stages for a deal that could have political implications during the election campaign. With voting day set for Oct. 19, the governing Tories want to launch the campaign with the deal in hand — an agreement they could brandish as evidence of their economic stewardship. The partnership, a pact between 12 countries including Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Japan, is poised to become the biggest trade deal in history once ratified. The government says the countries represent some 800 million people with a combined gross domestic product of roughly 40 per cent of the world’s economy. Just as a deal could be a boon to Conservative campaign fortunes, however, a delay could cause them headaches. If talks stretch past the start of the campaign, experts say they could prove politically delicate. In particular, Canada is under pressure from other countries to lower the high tariffs that currently protect domestic producers of eggs, milk, cheese and poultry from foreign competition under

a system known as supply management. In an interview Wednesday with Bloomberg, Prime Minister Stephen Harper insisted the government will defend the interests of every Canadian industry “as best we can.” Harper also said the negotiations were “well advanced” and that Canada “cannot be left out of this kind of trade arrangement.” If Trans-Pacific Partnership talks do spill into the campaign window, officially known as the writ period,thorny political issues would become that much more sensitive, said Ottawa trade consultant Adam Taylor. “I don’t think Canada will walk away from the TPP table to save its furniture and bacon on the election hustings,” said Taylor, a former senior adviser to
Trade Minister Ed Fast and now a director at a firm called Ensight. “But I think the politics of it is much more in your face.” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair urged Harper to protect supply management “in its entirety.” “We simply don’t trust Mr. Harper to protect Canada’s vital interests like supply management,” said Mulcair, whose party holds dozens of seats in Quebec. Observers, meanwhile, believe a deal could be very close. “The fact that the chief negotiators called in the ministers tells me that certainly a critical mass of countries sees a landing zone,” said Ailish Campbell, a vice-president of policy, international and fiscal issues for the Canadian Council of Chief Executives.

‘Mission Impossible’ still possible When it comes to Tom Cruise and his durability as an action hero, luck has little to do with it Mission Impossible STARRING: Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg Director: Christopher McQuarrie RATING: PG 13 PLAYING AT: Avalon Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 131 minutes JOCELYN NOVECK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
here’s some interesting talk in the cleverly satisfying script of Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation about the element of luck. As in: How much is luck a factor in the success of Ethan Hunt and his IMF cohorts? After all, in the last movie they merely saved us from a nuclear holocaust. Was it talent, work, or dumb luck? Whatever you decide about that, let’s be clear about this: When it comes to Tom Cruise and his durability as an action hero, luck has little to do with it. The guy’s an action star extraordinaire, and it’s not luck or chance but work and smarts and yes, some swashbuckling derring-do that get him there. Whatever you may think of Cruise and his complex off-screen persona, let’s give him this: At age 53, he and his Ethan Hunt are, if anything, getting more fun to watch. And they make Rogue Nation not merely a serviceable summer flick, but an entertainment well worth your inflated ticket price. Let’s give kudos to a few other folks, too, starting with director-writer Christopher McQuarrie, who, like each director in the franchise, puts his own stamp on the proceedings. McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) does this with both a wry script that often makes fun of what’s happening, and some seriously entertaining action pieces, including a complicated assassination sequence set in Vienna’s glittering opera house during a lavish production of Puccini’s Turandot. (Parents: here’s a chance to get some opera into your kids’ summer — sort of like hiding the broccoli in the brownie mix.)

Also invaluable is returning MI vet Simon Pegg as Benji, the wise-cracking (and safe-cracking) computer whiz who provides a crucial dose not only of humour but also of humanity here. Welcome newcomers include Alec Baldwin, as a pompous CIA boss with deliciously dry delivery, and Rebecca Ferguson, making the most and then some of the obligatory female role. Ferguson is — get this — Swedish-born, named Ilsa here, and, yes, shows up in Casablanca, too. Rogue Nation doesn’t start slowly. In fact, it begins with the scene you’re most likely to have heard about, because
it involves Cruise’s own stunt work, in which the actor actually places himself on the wing of an airborne jet, and then — why not? — lets his legs slip, hanging on by only his hands as the landscape beneath gets tinier and tinier. Why is Hunt on the wing? Well, that’s what can happen, annoyingly, when you try to board a plane AFTER takeoff. He manages to successfully remove a case of nerve gas canisters, but we’re just getting started. We soon learn that the IMF is being disbanded, and the timing is terrible. Hunt is onto something really bad: the Syndicate, a
nefarious group of former spies led by a vague, sinister leader (Sean Harris). That the Syndicate is not attached to one particular nation — it is the Rogue Nation of the title — has eerie resonance in today’s world. Hunt soon finds himself chained to a ceiling in a London dungeon. Enter Ilsa (Ferguson) who obviously has some attraction to Hunt, and a tendency to save his life, but also is clearly not working with him, either. The two meet again in Vienna, and eventually in Morocco, where Hunt and his friends take on a mission that involves, for one thing, Hunt holding his
breath underwater for an impossibly long time while fighting an impossibly strong water current and many other things. It shouldn’t surprise you by now to hear that Cruise apparently flirted with on-set danger here, too. And it’s impossible to deny that this knowledge adds to the fun. Early on, when Hunt was hanging off that plane, my 12-year-old companion — who’s grown up in the age of computer-generated wizardry — confidently whispered: “Ha, that’s totally a green screen.” And I was happy to be able to whisper back: “Nope. That’s just Tom Cruise.”
REVIEW
‘Vacation’ hardly original, but it’s still very funny Vacation STARRING: Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann, Chris Hemsworth, Beverly D’Angelo, Chevy Chase Director: John Francis Daley, Jonathan M. Goldstein RATING: Restricted PLAYING AT: Galaxy Cinemas RUNNING TIME: 99 minutes LINDSEY BAHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The great American family road trip seems, in the 32 years since we first met the Griswolds, as antiquated a concept as ever. Middle class families fly now — device enabled, efficiency obsessed and always aware of the outside world. Families flew in 1983, too, of course. National Lampoon’s
Vacation actually begins with a bit of a debate about air versus ground, but road trips back then, even cross-country ones, weren’t so out of the question for a family of four, especially when they had two weeks to do it. There’s beauty and humour, probably, in the ways families travel now, but Vacation, a spiritual and literal continuation of what John Hughes and Harold Ramis imagined three decades ago, isn’t interested in the now of it all. Rather, Vacation is an over-thetop, often hilarious homage to the original from the earnest and talented writing-directing team of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. It’s also completely divorced from the reality that made the first so perfect. In 2015, Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) is grown and living in the
Chicago suburbs with his wife Debbie (Christina Applegate) and sons, James (Skyler Gisondo) and Kevin (Steele Stebbins). They’re middle class in the way that all families are middle class in the movies these days — you wouldn’t know it from the house, the clothes, or their choices. Their life looks as genuine as a stock photo. They vacation annually at the same cabin, but Rusty realizes it has become a rut. To shake things up he decides to recreate his own childhood trek to Wally World, leading to the introduction of the movie’s best long-running joke: The Tartan Prancer. It’s a (fictional) boxy, Albanian rental car with cup-holders on the outside, suicide doors, two gas tanks and an identical front and back that deserves its own billing.

At first it seems like a miss. It’s too ostentatious with its oddities and elaborate key device featuring cryptic symbols on each button (a rocket ship, a top hat, a muffin, and a swastika, to name a few). But then we see the bizarre vehicle in action, and watching each function come alive is a treat. The moments are crafted with invigorating imagination, care, and perfect goofiness. It’s almost enough to upstage the actors — who are fun to watch, even if they’re as broadly drawn as a sitcom family. The Griswolds of ’83 seemed like people you might know. These are entertaining caricatures. Still, there is pleasantness to the family dynamic, like when Rusty (a blank situational slate made passable by Helms’ wideeyed charm) attempts, quite sincerely, to get everyone to

sing along to Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose.” It doesn’t, however, extend to the revelation of Debbie’s “do anything” sorority past, an odd and unsuccessful tangent meant to give Applegate something more physical to do. It falters when you realize the joke is just falling and puking. Everything is done all-out, and there’s a charm in that even when it doesn’t quite work. Vacation is an unabashed exercise in excess. It moves quickly, it’ll keep a smile on your face (beyond the contents of Chris Hemsworth’s underwear) and it will draw out hearty laughs along the way. Don’t be fooled by a brief appearance by Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo, either. This Vacation is not the real thing. And yet, saccharine can be sweet and satisfying in its own way.

ous initially for his first Games last year, but this time around he says those nerves have been replaced by excitement. He believes Team B.C.’s main challenge will come from Team Manitoba for the gold medal. Caron, deGroot, Fiandor, Kruger and Oxland are all aided by Pacific Sport, an organization which helps athletes and coaches “up the ante” in their career path according to marketing/ communications lead Jenn Houtby-Ferguson. “This is very much in our wheelhouse,” said Houtby-Ferguson of the Games. “This is a big step in their athlete development process. We are really proud of all our athletes that are going — this is a big deal.” Parksville-Qualicum MLA and paralympian Michelle Stillwell was on-hand at the Nanaimo Ice Centre on Wednesday to wish the athletes well.

The Vancouver Whitecaps were in the Harbour City on Wednesday as part of the fourth annual Hope and Health program. More than 400 Aboriginal children were at Beban Park fields for a day of soccer fun, which saw Whitcaps players Steven Beitashour, Pa-Modou Kah, Tim Parker and former captain Jay DeMerit all come out to provide some tips and insight. The program’s goal is to build connection, wellness and resilience among Aboriginal youth through a soccer environment and sees the Whitecaps team up with the Hope and Health for Life Society, as well as Aboriginal delegated child and family agencies Kw’umut Lelum and Lalum’utul’ Smun’eem. Beban Park was split up into numerous small sided fields for teams to play, with various Whitecaps players and staff circulating around to meet everyone in attendance. “It’s grown from 10 First Nations communities to over 25, so that’s really exciting,” said Deana Gill-Georgica, Hope and
Health for Life Society chairperson. “The purpose of Hope and Health is to raise awareness and inspire health and wellness for Aboriginal children and youth. Soccer is the platform, but it’s really about profiling these kids’ heroes and getting to know them on a personal level and build relationships. All those players have overcome adversity to achieve their dreams.” The program also has an emphasis on physical and mental health conditions. “It’s a great program they’ve got going on,” said Iranian international right back Beitashour. “They asked us to come out and it was an easy answer for us. “Any time you can give back to the community and the kids, I think it means a lot to them. We were in their shoes at one time.” Beitashour also said “times were changing” within the Whitecaps organization which now consistently looks for different avenues to reach out to various communities across B.C.

Toronto Blue Jays short stop Troy Tulowitzki hits a two-run homer against the Philadelphia Phillies in Toronto on Wednesday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
Blue Jays win in Tulowitzki’s debut JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — All it took for Troy Tulowitzki to get comfortable in his new uniform was a home run. The newly acquired Blue Jays shortstop impressed in his debut, hitting a home run with three runs batted in as Toronto beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-2 on Wednesday night. Tulowitzki said after the game that he was nervous playing in his first Blue Jays game since being traded from the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday but finding his swing helped calm his nerves. “I think they were trying to go with a high fastball but didn’t quite get it up there,” said Tulowitzki of the 0-2 pitch he crushed in the third inning. “I put a good swing on it. That was huge for me to get it under my belt and I think I relaxed after that and took better swings.” Tulowitzki hit two doubles after the home run and led Toronto’s (51-51) offence, which exploded for a total of 16 hits. Every batter in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup had at least one hit, with five players earning two hits and Tulowitzki getting three. “Hey, some guys do things with style, y’know?” said manager John Gibbons on Tulowitzki’s debut. “I don’t think it could’ve gone any better, really. He made a nice play defensively early then had two doubles and a homer. “Some guys have a knack.” Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins were sent to the Blue Jays on Tuesday in a deal with Colorado for shortstop Jose Reyes, reliever Miguel Castro and minor-league pitchers Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco. Hawkins pitched in Tuesday night’s 3-2 loss to the Phillies, but Tulowitzki needed a day to resettle his family before arriving in Toronto early Wednesday afternoon. Although he was obviously pleased with his individual performance, Tulowitzki was happier that Toronto ended a small two-game skid.

eclarertrumpedtheopening lead to follow with the top clubs and a ruff. A heart was led to the queen but West showed out on the continuation of the ace. South claimed twelve tricks conceding only a trump trick, N-S +680. Thirteentrickswereavailable on this layout by playing East for the king and jack of hearts but this was hardly suggested without a peek at East’s hand. With both opponents bidding, it appears to be an impossible task to reach a slam on this deal. The slam would not be a high percentage contract if clubs had divided 4-2 but was icy on this layout. South’s sequence promised a strong hand with length in the unbid suits, hearts and clubs. North had performed well by mustering a heart raise holding nothing but the ace of spades and feeble three-card heart support. A more interesting question is whether he would have taken any action if West had passed two hearts. Is it not possible that he might pass two hearts? A spade sacrifice might have yielded a profit but South is unlikely to quit after partner had raised hearts. He will certainlyventurefiveheartsif E-W sacrifice at four spades which, admittedly, is very unlikely.

Paul Elliot Taylor April 19, 1989 ~ July 24, 2015
Beloved son of Stephen and Beverly Taylor, loyal brother to his sister Madison. Lost his fight with his delusions. Paul’s last few years were a struggle with the effects of schizophrenia. Paul attended Pauline Haarer School and briefly NDSS. He finished his education at Shawnigan Lake and upon graduation joined the Royal Canadian Navy as an officer. He served proudly for five years and was just two courses short of graduation for an Arts Degree at the University of Victoria. He was a gentle soul who always cared how everyone else was feeling. He was noble, honourable, a loyal friend and always fun to be around. We miss him so much. The world is a smaller place without him. He leaves behind his loving and heartbroken parents Stephen and Beverly, sister Madison, a large extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and his best friends Kyle, Chase and Brad. Funeral Service will be held July 31, 2015 at Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo, BC. Condolences may be left online at:

Sr. B T-Men win 12-7 to open finals Nanaimo captain Jon Diplock scores four goals, Derek Lowe posts five points
SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
W
ith a 12-7 win over the Ladner Pioneers at Frank Crane Arena Wednesday night, the Nanaimo Senior B Timbermen are just two victories away from a West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association championship. In Game 1 of the WCSLA finals, Nanaimo captain Jon Diplock and new addition Derek Lowe combined for 10 points in the five-goal win over the Pioneers, a game in which the Timbermen never trailed. After the Timbermen won their previous series with relative ease over the Langley Warriors, the Pioneers had a five-game duel with the Royal City Capitals, and Nanaimo head coach Mike Maughan was unsure if his team would be able to shake off the rust of having nine days off. However, it wasn’t a problem. “They were coming off a tough series, a close series, and I was a little worried that we wouldn’t be able to match their intensity,” Maughan said, “because we had a bit of an easier time in our series. “The guys prepared themselves and did what we needed to do.” Diplock had four goals in the win, two of which came back-toback in the second period just after Ladner began picking away at the Timbermen lead. It was a shift in the game the Pioneers couldn’t rebound from.
“Every time they got it close or got within a goal, we definitely had an answer,” Maughan said. “The guys did a good job of refocusing and making sure not to get too rattled.” Lowe, a late-season addition from the Victoria Shamrocks, had two goals and three assists while Ryan Forslund had a hat trick and a helper and Steve Higgs had two goals and two

assists in the winning effort. With a 1-0 lead in the best-offive series, the Timbermen now travel to Ladner for Game 2 on Aug. 6 as the series takes a full week off. “I think we’ll expect even a better effort from them,” Maughan said of his expectations for Game 2. “They’re a strong team and they’ll be even tougher to beat there . . . We’re going
to have to be at our best and be even better than we were tonight.” If the Timbermen can win Game 2 in Ladner, they will have a chance to win the championship on their home floor on Aug. 8. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
Brady files suit to fight league’s ruling JIMMY GOLEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady took the fight over his “Deflategate” suspension to social media and federal court on Wednesday, and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft backed the three-time Super Bowl MVP, saying “I was wrong to put my faith in the league.” One day after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell rejected Brady’s appeal, the star quarterback posted a 507-word statement on Facebook with his firmest denial yet, writing: “I did nothing wrong.” Kraft followed with an unscheduled address to the media gathered at Gillette Stadium for the opening of training camp and the team’s defence of its fourth Super Bowl championship. “It is completely incomprehensible to me that the league continues to take steps to disparage one of its all-time great players, and a man for whom I have the utmost respect,” the Patriots owner said. “I have come to the conclusion that this was never about doing what was fair and just.” Just before the courts closed in Minnesota, the NFL Players Association asked U.S. District Judge David Doty to overturn Brady’s four-game suspension — or at least put it on hold until the case can be heard. The union asked Doty to throw out the suspension before Sept. 4; that would keep Brady from missing any practices before the Patriots’ Sept. 10 season-opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. “We need to free him up for that first week,” union attorney Jeffrey Kessler told The Associated Press. “We don’t believe this discipline can ever be sustained.” The lawsuit argues that the NFL made up its rules as it went along and misapplied the ones that were already on the books. In an interview with the AP, Kessler called it “offensive” that the league accused Brady of destroying his cellphone to obstruct the investigation, a claim NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made in upholding the suspension on Tuesday. “We believe they highlighted this issue solely to inflame the public, to suggest there is some secret information being withheld, and that’s wrong,” Kessler told the AP.

Eskimos look to keep on rolling against the Riders DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS
Life without starting quarterback Mike Reilly hasn’t exactly been all doom and gloom for the Edmonton Eskimos. The Eskimos (3-1) have won three straight since Reilly suffered a knee injury in their season-opening 26-11 home loss to the Toronto Argonauts on June 27. After sweeping a homeand-home series with Ottawa, Edmonton routed Winnipeg 32-3 on Saturday to move into a tie with Calgary (3-2) atop the West Division standings. Backup Matt Nichols has been the starter in all three wins, having completed 47-of-79 passes (59.5 per cent) for 650 yards with four TDs and four interceptions. Nichols will be under centre Friday night against Saskatchewan (0-5) despite rookie James Franklin completing 9-of-15 passes for 124 yards and three TDs against Winnipeg. Defensively, Edmonton has been solid this season, having allowed just 58 points overall. Defensive end Marcus Howard has a league-high five sacks and was named one of the league’s players of the month for July on Wednesday. The start to the season has been one to forget for Saskatchewan. The Riders lost incumbent Darian Durant (Achilles tendon) in the season opener then veteran backup Kevin Glenn suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of their 31-21 home loss to Hamilton on Sunday.
Glenn won’t play against Edmonton, leaving rookie Brett Smith to make his first CFL start. Smith replaced Glenn against Hamilton and completed 2-of-4 passes for 12 yards. Tino Sunseri, who drew some starts last year after Durant suffered a season-ending elbow injury, will serve as Smith’s backup. Sunseri re-signed with Saskatchewan following Durant’s Achilles injury after being released by the club during training camp. Offence hasn’t been the problem for the Riders, who boast the CFL’s top passer (Glenn, 1,483 yards) and rusher (Jerome Messam, 329 yards) and second-leading receiver (Weston Dressler, 26 catches for 403 yards and two TDs). Saskatchewan has also scored a league-best 143 points. But opposing teams have scored a league-high 165 points against the Riders, who incredibly are 0-4 at Mosaic Stadium. Prediction — Edmonton. B.C. Lions at Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Thursday night. Like Winnipeg (2-3), B.C. (2-2) is coming off a disappointing loss. The Lions led visiting Toronto 21-0 before the Argonauts rallied for the 30-27 victory. The loss was just the second in 20 career starts at B.C. Place for Lions’ quarterback Travis Lulay, who threw for just 165 yards versus Toronto. Bombers starter Drew Willy was hurt against Edmonton and it’s unknown if he’ll face the Lions while receiver Nick Moore (lower
body injury) is questionable. Prediction — B.C. Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders, Saturday night. Calgary (3-2) will be without rushing leader Jon Cornish (thumb). The defending Grey Cup champions are 3-0 at home but have allowed more points (126) than they’ve scored (112). Bo Levi Mitchell has a 62.3 per cent completion average with five TDs and four interceptions. Rookie starter Rakeem Cato has been solid, leading Montreal (2-2) to its wins while posting a 72.2 per cent completion average with 822 yards and four TDs. He’s also averaging a solid 6.4 yards per rush. Prediction — Calgary. Toronto Argonauts at Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Monday night. Hamilton (2-2) plays its home opener against its biggest rival. The Ticats are unbeaten in seven games at Tim Hortons Field, including last year’s 40-24 win over Montreal in the East final,. Toronto (3-1) plays its fifth straight road contest before hosting Saskatchewan on Aug. 8 at Rogers Centre. Argos quarterback Trevor Harris has been sensational in place of the injured Ricky Ray, completing 74.8 per cent of his passes for 1,177 yards with a league-best 11 TDs and just four interceptions. Prediction — Hamilton. Last week: 2-2. Overall record: 8-12.
HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might try to avoid a conflict, but it is inevitable. You understand where each party is coming from and what needs to happen, but you could feel powerless in convincing anybody of anything. Put your energy where it counts. Catch up on news. Tonight: Think “weekend.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might see the big picture, but helping others see the same vision could be quite the challenge. Avoid someone who is touchy, angry and seems to be seeking a fight. Do you really want that? Be more direct with a loved one. Tonight: Accept all the attention you get. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ou keep hitting the same wall, and can’t seem to get around it. You might want to try a different method. You could be spending too much of your energy on frustration. Be aware of your limits with a child. Tonight: Decide to approach a situation in an entirely different way. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have the ability to see a situation in a new way. How you handle a personal matter could change greatly once you stop sitting on your anger. Simply relax and try a different approach. You could be surprised by the results. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug.22) You will strive to handle a situation without losing your cool; however, don’t be surprised if the anger gets to you. The issue will be whether you direct it to the appropriate situation. How can anything change if you do not address your feelings? Tonight: Choose a stressbuster. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a way about you that draws many people toward you, especially earlier in the day. Communicating your feelings might be difficult. Try not to let your affections get involved. Dote on a child or new friend. Tonight: Off to the gym to work through stress. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your playfulness will emerge and take you in a new direction. Others are likely to want to join you. Avoid letting stress build up. The less said, the better. You might doubt the authenticity of someone’s feelings, but say nothing for now. Tonight: In weekend mode. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be in a situation where you are the only person communicating. Others might have difficulty responding in an authentic manner. You will be on top of a major change, if you can remain open. Check in with a neighbor sometime today. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might not understand what all the fuss is about until someone close to you launches into a tirade. You’ll want to advise this person on the best way to proceed. Be smart and initiate a conversation with a respected friend for some feedback. Tonight: Let the party begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to open up a conversation in the morning, but someone could receive that gesture the wrong way. You will know if this person misread your words and intentions. You might need to make amends. Tonight: Accept a dinner invitation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be in a situation where you don’t know how to complete or work through a problem. Hold off on making a move, and you will see that others feel the same way. Be open to a discussion, and the outcome will be better than you had imagined. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use the morning to further an important cause. The more supporters you have, the better off you will be. Honor a fast change, and know full well what your limits are. By midday, you might want to pull back some. Tonight: Get some zzz’s before your weekend starts. YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 30) This year you will work very hard to achieve your goals. Be careful, as you could spend a substantial amount of money attempting to reach them. You also are likely to receive a pay raise or promotion. Still, consider curbing frivolous spending. If you are single, you could meet someone very exciting in the next few weeks. People met after that time might be somewhat petty or critical. If you are attached, make special plans to enjoy yourselves as a couple in the next few weeks. Your relationship will benefit from the little gestures that let your sweetie know how much you care.

Refuse to engage in elderly mother’s pointless arguments Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: Yesterday, I had an argument with my 85-year-old mother. She said I must be a lesbian because of my recent Facebook posts in support of all my gay friends and the Supreme Court decision upholding gay marriage. Specifically, I changed my photo so it was coloured in beautiful rainbow shades. My mother was appalled that I was supporting “those people” and demanded that I change my picture. She said she was embarrassed and claimed that all of her friends were calling her to ask whether I was gay. This was a lie and she admitted it. Then she said she does not support gay people and I should support them in more private ways. I told her I am 50 years old, not 10, and these are my choices. If she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to look
at my Facebook page. I have never felt comfortable having my mother as a friend on Facebook. I want to un-friend her, but I’d feel guilty. She has always been this way, and frankly, I’m fed up. She has other friends and family on Facebook, so it’s not as though she’ll be out of the loop. What do you say? — New York Dear New York: There are kinder ways to deal with this rather than un-friending your 85-yearold mother. You can arrange your privacy settings on Facebook to limit what she sees and what she can post on your page. But truly, you are 50 years old and should know how to deal with your bigoted mother by now. Ignore her comments. Change the subject when she says things you find offensive and refuse to engage her in these pointless arguments where neither of you will influence the other. Don’t become angry. Smile, and then do what you want. It’s how children have dealt with difficult parents for centuries. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Not Buying
BC DAY
Narcolepsy,” who complained that her husband sleeps constantly. Many people associate narcolepsy with the way it appears on TV sitcoms, where people fall asleep midsentence. But the most common form of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness. A year ago, I could not sit down without falling asleep. I woke up sleepy and probably could have slept 12 hours a day and still manage to fall asleep in my chair. Narcolepsy can be diagnosed by sleep studies and blood work. Since my diagnosis by a neurologist and finding the right medication, I have my life back. Perhaps “Not Buying” should sit down with her husband and fill out the Epworth Sleepiness Scale as a way to begin a discussion of the medical reasons behind his need for such great amounts of sleep. It’s available through the Narcolepsy Network (narcolepsynetwork.org). I hope this helps. — Wide Awake Dear Wide Awake: Thank you for the excellent resource. Narcolepsy isn’t
