Overdoses kill 10 in two months Fatalities are among 82 sudden deaths recorded since March in new system adopted by city RCMP DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Ten people died of drug overdoses in Nanaimo in a recent two-month period. It’s not known how many of those deaths are from fentanyl, the narcotic responsible for a rash of deaths around B.C. The data comes from the Nanaimo RCMP, which has now adopted a refined system of record-keeping to distinguish overdose deaths from other sudden deaths.
In the past six months, 82 sudden deaths were recorded with the new system, with causes ranging from falls to heart attacks. The new record-keeping system kicked in June, and “we’ve had 10 sudden deaths due to illicit drugs,” said Staff Sgt. John Blaase, of the Nanaimo detachment. Blaase couldn’t say whether concerns about fentanyl was what caused the detachment to refine its record-keeping
methods, but “I know fentanyl is a major concern, simply because of its potency,” Blaase said. Fentanyl is what killed North Vancouver couple Hardy and Amelia Leighton, the BC Coroners Service found. They left behind a two-year-old son. Fentanyl killed 17-year-old Jack Bodie in East Vancouver Aug. 3. He and a younger boy, who survived, took what they thought were OxyContin pills
“That was really sad about that 17-year-old,” said Blaase. While hardened drug addicts are more likely to survive fentanyl, it can be fatal to non-habitual users because they lack sufficient tolerance to powerful opiates. Western Canadian police forces are now working together to trace the source of street fentanyl, which is believed to be made in Asia. In Nanaimo, plainclothes officers are watching for the drug
too, Blaase said. “I know we’ve had some arrests in regards to possession.” Not so for distribution or manufacturing, he said. Of 322 B.C. drug deaths in 2013, 64 were on Vancouver Island, the Coroners Service reported. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235 — WITH A FILE FROM CANADIAN PRESS

Residents head back to the polls to select new set of council members ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
I
n November, Lantzville residents voted in a new council they believed would see them through four years of local governance. Since that election, three senior staff members and four councillors have resigned. Today, residents go back to the polls to choose from 12 candidates to fill the seats vacated by Jennifer Millbank, Rod Negrave, Dave Scott and Graham Savage. 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 are all on the current ballot. The top four vote-getters will join Mayor Colin Haime, Coun. Denise Haime and Coun. John Coulson on council. All votes must be placed at Costin Hall between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today. Advance polls took place at the district office on July 29 and Aug. 5 and saw 293 people cast votes. Key issues in the byelection include water, development and council unity. The district currently has a memorandum of understanding with the City of Nanaimo to connect 225 homes in upper Lantzville to Nanaimo’s water system. A $1 million payment from the district to the City of Nanaimo is required for the connection to happen. The new council will also decide on if and how to move forward with the Village Core improvement plan.

The council exodus began in April when Millbank and Negrave were first to go. At the time Millbank claimed council was “unable to move forward in a productive fashion.” Negrave deemed it “broken.” Prior to that, former chief administrative officer Twlya Graf and director of finance Jedha Holmes also resigned. Scott resigned in early May followed by Savage at the end of that month — the latter calling the previous six months as “one

of the most negative experiences of his life. Savage’s resignation initially left the district without a functioning government until the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes announced a quorum of three would be permitted. While still councillors, Millbank, Negrave, Scott and Savage all signed a letter that was mailed out to community stating they “do not condone” alleged inappropriate behaviour from

CITY
Code of conduct raises controversy One three members of current Nanaimo city council have signed non-mandatory document ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Only three members of city council have signed a code of conduct for meetings. The code, written by council as part of the ongoing organization-wide governance review that the city started in 2012, calls for councillors to behave in a respectful manner towards one another and members of the public during meetings. The mayor or any councillor presiding at a meeting of council
has the authority to expel councillors or members of the public for “acting improperly.” “This would be an extreme action, but one that should be taken with the support of council where a council member’s behaviour breaches the agreed to performance expectations, or a member of the public behaves improperly,” according to the code of conduct. Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Ian Thorpe and Wendy Pratt signed the code of conduct,
which isn’t mandatory, when they took office after the last municipal election in November. Councillors Bill Bestwick, Diane Brennan, Gordon Fuller, Jerry Hong, Jim Kipp and Bill Yochim didn’t sign onto the code. McKay said while councillors are not required to sign it, if all members of council agreed to adhere to the code’s rules, discussions and debates might run more smoothly. “As part of our review of our standards of governance, we
need to deal with interpersonal relations among our council members, but the members must buy into it first,” he said. “All of our councillors are good people who mean well, but we need to come to some common ground towards respectful relations with each other and I expect there will be some pain on the way.” Fuller said he chose not to sign the code of conduct because it’s “too subjective” in nature. “Who determines that some-
one’s behaviour is bad enough to have them expelled?” he asked. “It seems like whoever is chairing a meeting has an awful lot of power if the code was followed, and their opinions and attitudes may be quite different from mine. This is a challenging council and I don’t think we necessarily have to like each other to work successfully together.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

The section of Wellington Secondary School facing Departure Bay Road has been demolished as part of the ongoing seismic work at the school. But officials in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district assure Wellington’s students and their parents that the school will be ready for the beginning of the new school year next month. The two-storey “A” block of the building was demolished over the last few days. The work will make way for a revised and expanded parking lot, drop-off area and new front entrance area for the school off of Departure Bay Road. The A block contained the school’s kitchen, science labs and a number of classrooms. Those learning areas will relocate to a new section of school being constructed in the building’s rear parking lot. Wellington school will retain its capacity for 900 students when work is complete. The major $23-million seismic-upgrade project at the school began in 2013 and is scheduled to completed in early 2016. Contractors have worked around the school’s activities when in session, saving most of the more disruptive work for when students are not in classes. In a facilities audit done by the Ministry of Education in 2004, Wellington school rated high on the need for seismic upgrades because it was constructed mainly from heavy concrete and more susceptible to earthquake damage than schools built primarily with wood.

In a seismic review of the province’s schools conducted four years ago, Wellington was the only school in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district considered to be at “highrisk” to earthquakes, according to a new priority list.
Former Education Minister Don McRae announced the funding for the seismic upgrades at the school during a visit to Nanaimo in 2013, and work began soon afterwards. Wellington school consisted of six blocks or sections, including
one central block that housed the school library and five outer blocks that housed classrooms, shops, a gymnasium and administrative spaces. Four of the blocks were deemed high-risk in event of an earthquake and required seismic
upgrading, Block A was targeted for demolition, and only the gymnasium block didn’t require any work. Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

RCMP put additional resources into missing girl case “We’ve added new resources to move the investigation forward. There’s a lot of unanswered questions.”
DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
RCMP have put more resources into a missing person case involving an 18-year-old Penelakut Island woman last seen nearly two weeks ago. Additional officers from the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit have been brought in to support officers at the Ladysmith detachment in their investigation into the whereabouts of Delores Brown. Ladysmith RCMP and the Island District General Investigation Section remain active in their investigation into the case. Brown was last seen on the Penelakut Island on July 27.
Darren Lagan, RCMP spokesman
BROWN
Police, community members, and search and rescue teams have been searching for Brown since she was reported missing, July 29. Brown has never gone
missing before; raising concerns for family and friends. All the facts around the case confirmed for police the need to add more resources. “Especially when it’s out of character for her to go away for any period of time,” said
Cpl. Darren Lagan, Island District RCMP spokesman. “We’ve added new resources to move the investigation forward. There’s a lot of unanswered questions.” He said the growing team of investigators “continue their work at this hour, ensuring every investigative lead is followed up, in an effort to bring answers to Delores’ family and her community.” Police have issued an appeal for anyone with information on her whereabouts to call immediately. Delores, or Deedee Brown, is described as a First Nations woman, five foot six and approximately 120 pounds.
She was last seen walking on Penelakut Island wearing blue jeans and a hoodie, and carrying a backpack. Anyone with information on her whereabouts and activities before and since July 27 is asked to contact the Ladysmith RCMP detachment at 250-245-2215 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Election may be lengthy, but is also pivotal
T
he 78-day federal election campaign that began Sunday will be one of the longest in Canadian history, but it is also shaping up into one of the most important. Rail if you like against Prime Minister Stephen Harper for kick-starting on a long weekend in the dog days of summer a campaign that will go on and on until the candidates are being greeted by Halloween jack-o’lanterns on the porches of the nation. But please don’t tune out — whether you’re sunning on a beach or singing around a campfire. With the three biggest parties — the Conservatives, New Democrats and Liberals — running neck and neck in most opinion polls and with 60 per cent of Canadians undecided on how to vote, anyone could win. It
has never been like this before. This is the first time the New Democrats have entered a race not just as the official Opposition and as the biggest party in Quebec but with a real shot at victory. Meanwhile, unlike some past elections where the platforms of the main contenders were largely indistinguishable, this time Canadians face starkly different choices that would lead to starkly different futures for this country. It’s true that a protracted campaign that will drag on more than a month longer than usual gives at least one advantage to the governing Conservatives. They’ve amassed the largest election war chest by far. And new rules brought in by the Conservatives mean political parties can spend more money in a longer campaign. The Tories clearly
have an edge in getting out their message. Even so, when Canadians vote on Oct. 19, they will have a lot more than political ads on their minds. If voters don’t need so much time to decide where to mark X on their ballots, they should still use the coming weeks to carefully consider their options. At the front of their minds will be the question of whether after nine years in government the Conservatives deserve another term. But this election is more than a referendum on Stephen Harper. This election is also about what kind of government Canadians want, and whether it will be leaner and more free-market friendly like Harper’s or bigger, more interventionist in the lives of citizens and more open to new nationwide programs such as subsidized daycare.
The global economy is precarious. The decades of heady economic growth that favoured Canada may be gone. The country could be in recession even now. Which party and which leader is best suited to steer us through shoals of uncertainty and into calm waters? Does the answer depend on who can create the best conditions for growth? Or is the cure for what ails us a more aggressive redistribution of wealth advocated by NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau? Do we want more trade deals, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership the Conservatives have championed? Or do we need to tax corporations and the wealthiest Canadians more? Do we want a government that will push for the construction of pipelines to get Western oil to new markets? Do we want a government that
will push for greater action to stop climate change? Or can we elect a government that will do both? Finally, do we want a government that will change how we elect all future governments? While the Conservatives are content with the first-past-the-post system that has served Canada since Confederation, both the Liberals and NDP advocate a change to make a party’s standing in the House of Commons more directly reflective of the number of votes it receives. These are all important matters that Canadians must weigh even as they try to enjoy the remaining days of summer.

Tom Fletcher Opinion
F
ederal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate Thursday, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environment and military action overseas. The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the west and east coasts as well as to the U.S. Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing,
Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year. while the rest of the economy is growing. Green Party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal. Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review. Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors,
weakening the case for new gas pipelines. He said the government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run to Kitimat, with more than 200 conditions because “that’s how the system works.” Trudeau and Harper sparred over greenhouse gas emission efforts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama. Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year. May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commitment to curb emissions, as forest fires rage and extreme weather increases all year around. The debate moderator, Maclean’s magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he
owes Canadians an apology for appointing since-suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consensus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abolish it. Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq. Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments. Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special forces support is what Canada’s allies want to do, and Islamic State is a “nerve centre” for a global movement that has targeted Canada specifically.

Expansion will go ahead at Alberni Valley airport Expansion at the Alberni Valley Regional Airport will go ahead after opponents failed to collect enough signatures to quash an Alternative Approval Process for the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District to borrow up to $6 million for the project. The 32-day-long process closed on Wednesday. Only 303 valid elector responses of a required 2,050 were recorded, according to Wendy Thomson, ACRD’s manager of administrative services. The Alternative Approval Process required 10 per cent of the eligible electors within participating areas—Port Alberni, Beaufort, Beaver Creek, Cherry Creek and Sproat Lake—to vote against borrowing up to $6 million to expand the runway at the airport.
The AAP drew criticism from people in the Alberni Valley who felt a full referendum would be the only fair way to determine whether people in the regional district truly approved of the ACRD’s plans. If enough signatures had been collected, the ACRD would likely have held a full referendum on the matter.

Partner of pregnant woman accused in killing The partner of a pregnant woman found dead in her home near Montreal was charged Friday with first-degree murder. Alexandre Gendron, 35, was arraigned in St-Hyacinthe, about 60 kilometres east of Montreal, one day after Cheryl Bau-Tremblay’s body was found in her home in Beloeil. Bau-Tremblay, who was five months pregnant, had been reported missing since Saturday and was last seen that day leaving her home. Crown prosecutor Nancy Potvin said Friday police spoke to many witnesses and that Gendron was questioned for several hours on Thursday. Police have not revealed how Bau-Tremblay died or where her body was found inside the house. Gendron is scheduled to return to court Sept. 15.
◆ LONDON, ONT.
Doctor who opposed thalidomide dies at 101 Frances Kelsey, a Canadian doctor known for her tenacity in keeping a dangerous drug off the U.S. market, died Friday morning at age 101. She died less than 24 hours after receiving the Order of Canada in a private ceremony at her daughter’s home in London, Ont. Kelsey was a medical officer for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the early 1960s when she raised concerns about thalidomide, a drug that was being used in other countries to treat morning sickness and insomnia in pregnant women. Despite pressure from the makers of thalidomide to approve the drug, she refused, and as a result, thousands of children were saved from crippling birth defects. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lt.-Gov. of Ontario, presented the Member of the Order of Canada to Kelsey on Thursday on behalf of Gov. Gen. David Johnston.
POLITICS
All parties proclaim victory after first election debate Real winner might have been the debate itself, hosted by ‘Maclean’s’ magazine JIM BRONSKILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The four combatants in the televised leaders’ debate basked in the glow of self-proclaimed victory Friday as the first week of Canada’s marathon federal election campaign drew to a close. But not everyone felt triumphant: Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe, the odd man out of the debate, called it “surreal” to watch his fellow federal leaders discuss the threshold for Quebec independence without him. And Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who’s already tried once to spoil Stephen Harper’s party, was at it again Friday, describing her relationship with the prime minister as “dysfunctional” and calling for his ouster. All of the party leaders were winners in the debate — at least, according to the parties themselves. The four camps who duked it out issued the customary flurry of news releases claiming their respective leader triumphed in the initial exchange of views. The experts seemed to agree: no one stumbled badly, nor clearly stood out. In the end, the real winner might have been the debate itself, hosted by Maclean’s magazine and ably moderated by political editor Paul Wells, which energized a languid summer campaign and left pundits and observers buzzing. There were testy volleys on the economy, energy policy and Quebec sovereignty. Under questioning from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, Harper

appeared to acknowledge the country is enduring a mild recession — a remark Conservative officials tried to walk back the next day. At a news conference Friday in Richmond Hill, Ont., Harper stuck to his line that some 80 per cent of the Canadian economy is still growing — only the energy sector is shrinking due to falling oil prices. “We know there are ups and downs,” Harper said. “The choice is you either stick with the plan that’s working and has most of our economy growing, or you adopt plans that throw all of the economy backwards — and that’s what the NDP proposes.”
without the leader of the only federal sovereigntist party. “I found that surreal,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press. Thursday’s debate could turn out to be the only time four leaders — let alone five — gather on the same stage to trade barbs in English during the campaign. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is not invited to two coming exchanges, one sponsored by the Globe and Mail newspaper on economic issues, the other by the Munk Debates on foreign policy. And it looks like Harper — and therefore Mulcair — won’t show up at the traditional debate organized by major broadcasters.

Judge orders review of inmate’s porn grievance A Federal Court judge has ordered a new review of a Quebec prisoner’s grievance over access to TV channels showing late-night pornography. Haris Naraine, 46, filed a complaint after corrections officials cancelled two cable channels in March 2013 after Naraine and other inmates bought them. The channels were cut after Correctional Service Canada instructed prisons across the country to remove all sexually explicit material from facilities and to block X-rated television content. Naraine argued corrections had no right to censor what the inmates legally paid for and said limiting access violated their charter rights. The service denied Naraine’s grievance in March 2014, saying the right to access the material was not absolute.
Mulcair would raise taxes, indulge in out-of-control spending and introduce permanent budget deficits, Harper claimed. The first week was winding down Friday when Wynne suddenly waded back into the fray, saying Canadians need a prime minister who is willing to work with provincial premiers.“ “This is not personal,” Wynne insisted. “This is about the strength of this province and the strength of this country, and those two fates are intertwined.” Duceppe might have been thinking something similar as he watched the debate — a disrespectful display, he said, because independence was dissected

Province will appeal sex abuse decision
Critics say policy fails to protect B.C. parks DIRK MEISSNER THE CANADIAN PRESS
Court found social workers allowed children to visit abuser “What they have done for six years and now are continuing to do is cruel and sadistic. Like the people running the MCFD. We are suffering because of them.”
LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A mother who won a lawsuit against the British Columbia government after social workers enabled her estranged husband to molest their toddler in foster care says the province’s decision to appeal the ruling is cruel and sadistic. The Justice Ministry said it filed documents Friday seeking clarity from the Court of Appeal of B.C. A judge found last month that social workers knowingly violated a court order and allowed unsupervised access to a father who had sexually abused his other kids. “I think it’s completely rude, and inhumane for them to go on against little children who have been hurt so terribly,” the mother, known in court documents as J.P., said in a statement. She said the Ministry of Children and Family Development has been hurting her family since 2009, when it falsely accused her of being mentally ill and seized her children. “What they have done for six years and now are continuing to do is cruel and sadistic. Like the people running the MCFD. We are suffering because of them.”
J.P., Child’s mother
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Walker ruled last month the ministry showed “reckless disregard” when it failed to investigate the kids’ claims that their father had sexually abused them. J.P. and her former husband, identified as B.G., have four children, born between 2002 and 2008. Walker ruled in a custody trial in 2012 that B.G. had sexually abused his three eldest children. In his recent ruling, he found the man had also molested his youngest child while the girl was in foster care. Children’s Minister Stephanie Cadieux said government lawyers advised her the trial judge erred in a number of areas and that an appeal was warranted.
“I want to make clear that today’s decision is not about the family involved, but about every family that the ministry may interact with in the future,” she said in a statement. Cadieux, who declined interviews, said the appeal will not impact former senior civil servant Bob Plecas’s review of the case. She said any staff concerns that arise will be examined by a separate human resources investigation. Doug Donaldson, the Opposition NDP’s critic for the Children’s Ministry, said the appeal “completely guts” the review. Plecas already lacked the ability to compel testimony, and his powers will be further hindered by an ongoing court case, he said. Children and youth representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond said the ministry didn’t consult the mother before announcing the review and J.P. has filed a complaint with the privacy commissioner. The mom learned of the appeal through media on Friday, Turpel-Lafond said. “There could have been a more respectful way to do this,” Turpel-Lafond said.
VICTORIA — The British Columbia government says the province’s parks are off limits to industrial activity under a new policy, but an environmental group fears it makes way for pipelines and other development projects. “Protecting our natural spaces is a priority,” Environment Minister Mary Polak said in a written statement Friday. “This policy provides more clarity around how research and information-gathering activities will be undertaken in B.C.’s parks and protected areas, which allows us to make informed decisions.” However, Wilderness Committee policy director Gwen Barlee said the government now has more powers to clear the way for industrial activity in provincial parks. “To say we want to loosen those protections makes parks really vulnerable to industrial development. And that just defeats the very purpose of why they were created.” Barlee said the new policy is deceptive because it outlines the process for an industrial developer to follow in order to successfully have a park’s boundary adjusted to make room for a project. “People don’t want to have logging roads bisecting our parks and transmission lines and
oil and gas lines bisecting our parks,” she said. “I feel no relief or comfort in the policy that’s being introduced.” Barlee said Polak told the legislature last year during debate over the Park Act that the government needed statutory approval to give the province more authority to grant or deny park permit applications. Opposition New Democrat environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said earlier that the government rammed through the Park Act amendments but spent months consulting British Columbians about its plans to relax liquor laws. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver has said he will watch for proposed park boundary changes in the future. The Environment Ministry statement said land can be removed from a B.C. park, but that requires an application for a boundary adjustment. It said that since 2004, 0.028 per cent of 14 million hectares in B.C.’s protected areas has been affected by boundary adjustments. Earlier this year, the Nisga’a Nation in northwestern B.C. reached a benefits-sharing agreement with the government that included removing more than 63 hectares of land from the Memorial Lava Bed Park to accommodate a proposed oil and gas pipeline.

Rogers said fair prices and great service is paramount in his business model for his two stores, with the other in Courtenay, but a big part of his success is developing his own custom-made brand of mattresses to fit the individual needs of his customers. He said he donated all of his “mainstream” mattresses to local shelters in 2008. “We can customize mattresses to help people deal with back, hip, knee and other health problems and have them made in Vancouver,” Rogers said. Rogers said he had expanded to four stores, with the other two located in Nanaimo, but he felt that he had lost the “personal touch” of being there to help deal with customers, so he cut back to his current two locations. “My customers like a hands-on approach and they expect to see me when they come into the store,” he said.

Theatre shooter to get life in prison after jury can’t agree
Tsunami items found among marine debris
SADIE GURMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Colorado theatre shooter James Holmes will be sentenced to life in prison without parole after a jury failed to agree Friday on whether he should get the death penalty for his murderous attack on a packed movie premiere. The nine women and three men said they could not reach a unanimous verdict on each of the 24 murder counts. That automatically eliminates the death penalty for
failed neuroscientist, who blamed his calculated murders of 12 people on mental illness. Prosecutors argued Holmes deserved to die because he methodically planned the 2012 assault at a midnight screening of a Batman movie, even blasting techno music through ear phones so he wouldn’t hear his victims scream. The same jury had rejected his insanity defence, finding Holmes capable of understanding right from wrong when he murdered 12 people and tried to kill 70 others.
But the defence countered that his schizophrenia led to a psychotic break, and that powerful delusions drove him to carry out one of the nation’s deadliest mass shootings. There was never any question during the gruelling, four-month trial as to whether Holmes was the killer. Holmes meekly surrendered outside the theatre, where police found him clad head-to-toe in combat gear. The decision came after days of tearful testimony from relatives of the slain.

Tons of garbage found on shores of West Coast BECKY BOHRER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUNEAU, Alaska — Hundreds of tons of marine debris have been collected from the shores of Alaska and British Columbia as part of an unprecedented cleanup effort that an organizer says barely made a dent in the rubbish that remains on beaches. A barge heaped with white, heavy-duty bags and loose piles of Styrofoam, bottles, commercial fishing gear, thousands of large buoys and floats and other debris arrived in Seattle on Thursday, three weeks after picking up its first load in Kodiak, Alaska. Some of the debris collected likely was swept to sea by the 2011 tsunami in Japan, which killed thousands of people. But marine debris in
general, including rubbish such as plastics and fishing nets, is an ongoing environmental problem. In Seattle, volunteers will have to pick through the piles, sorting what can be recycled or returned and what must be taken by train to a disposal site in Oregon. Sorting isn’t expected to begin until next month and could take a couple weeks to complete, said Janna Stewart, tsunami marine debris co-ordinator with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. The mass of debris collected and loaded onto the barge, which is roughly the size of a football field, represents just one to two per cent of the cleanup work that remains in Alaska, said Chris Pallister, president of the cleanup organization Gulf of Alaska
Keeper, which co-ordinated the project. The barge arrived in Kodiak on July 15, where it loaded debris collected in that region in 2013 and 2014. Most of the collection sites were in Alaska, with the last stop in Alaska near Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. There also was a pickup site in British Columbia. It can be hard to distinguish tsunami debris from run-of-the-mill debris without identifiable markers. Pallister and Stewart are hoping to find a way to repatriate or otherwise find uses for buoys that have been collected. Pallister also is hopeful that Japanese volunteers might be available to assist in identifying any personal items or things from an identifiable region that could be returned. OF FE R

Iran deal could aid Syria peace bid

Recent nuclear agreement with Middle East nation may open way for Bashar Assad to end civil war struck last month between Tehran and six world powers, has “opened the door to realignments and fixing geopolitical problems.” “It seems to me that all regional and international players are rushing around trying to establish a new order in the wake of the Iran deal, and it’s going to continue,” he said. “We’re seeing a huge uptick in shuttle diplomacy by all sides.” This week, Kerry, Lavrov and Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir held a rare three-way meeting Monday in the Qatari capital, Doha. The session included discussions about the Syrian crisis.
ZEINA KARAM AND ADAM SCHRECK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
he nuclear deal with Iran was widely expected to affect other Middle East issues, and that may already be happening with Syria: A series of recent diplomatic manoeuvres suggest a growing willingness to at least engage with the Iranian-backed government of Bashar Assad on ways to end the country’s civil war. The embattled leader seems no more inclined to step aside now than he did four years ago, and any agreement still looks to be far off — but the search seems to be on for an elegant solution that might, for example, allow him a transitional role. In part, it is also driven by the new leadership team in Saudi Arabia, which emerged with the accession to the throne of King Salman in January. Another factor is the emergence and spread of the violent and fanatical Islamic State group as the most potent opposition to Assad, far more so than the relatively moderate rebels who won a measure of world support after the conflict began four years ago. Despite his government’s brutality and aerial bombardment that has levelled some opposition-held areas, the 50-year-old former eye doctor now seems, at least to some, comparatively more palatable. The civil war has killed at least 250,000, displaced half the population, flooded brittle neighbouring countries with refugees and has left jihadis occupying not only much of Syria but also perhaps a third of Iraq. Among the developments of recent days: • In the wake of mediation by Assad’s Russian patrons, a quiet, ice-breaking meeting took place in Riyadh in late July between Brig. Gen. Ali Mamlouk, the head of Syria’s powerful National Security Bureau, and Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s deputy crown prince and defence minister. That represented a significant shift and an opening of channels between two countries that have become
Syrian President Bashar Assad during an interview with the BBC in a February photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA. [AP PHOTO]
avrov also met Mouaz L al-Khatib, a former president of the Syrian National Coalition
arch foes in Syria’s conflict. Saudi Arabia along with other Gulf states has been a key backer of rebels fighting to topple Assad. • Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem flew Thursday to Oman after a two-day visit to Tehran, amid unconfirmed reports in pro-Assad media outlets that the Omani government was trying to broker a meeting of the foreign ministers of Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. • Iran has said it is preparing to submit a four-point peace plan proposal for Syria to the United Nations. According to some reports, it includes a “national unity government.” That is code for allowing Assad a face-saving period in which he shares power — and elections under international supervision. But it would also bring some prominence to the otherwise marginalized relative moderates who have failed to dislodge Assad militarily. • U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov agreed on a U.N. resolution aimed at identifying those responsible for chemical weapons attacks in Syria on Wednesday and the Security Council adopted it unanimously on Friday. Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters
opposition group whose name is often mentioned as a possible transitional figure, during his Qatar trip. Russia, a key backer of Assad’s government, is seeking to assemble an anti-terror front that would include the Syrian army, the Iraqi army and the Kurds, Lavrov said this week. Russia in particular seems to be acting as a negotiator on the Syrian question and wants to be a partner in the fight against IS, Karasik said. It also sees itself as the main player brokering new relations between the Arabs and Tehran, he said. “In the wake of the Iran deal, there are new opportunities to settle regional differences, and Russia is trying to fulfil what it sees is its historical mission to bring all sides together,” Lavrov said. Moscow also has a longstanding relationship with Iran. Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni met al-Jubeir in Rome on Friday and told a news conference afterward that Iran can contribute to a solution to the Syrian crisis. Al-Jubeir was cool to the idea, saying “Iran has been part and parcel of the murder of the Syrian people, and therefore we believe it should have no role” in Syria’s future. The shape of any political settlement in Syria remains unclear.
Friday there is “a high possibility” that the Security Council, which is deeply divided over Syria, will adopt a presidential statement early next week endorsing a new plan by U.N. special envoy Staffan de Mistura aimed at setting the stage for new peace talks. “It would be the first exclusively political document on the Syrian crisis adopted by consensus,” Churkin said. e Mistura said late last D month that it’s too soon for a third Geneva peace conference and instead called for intensive preliminary talks with all parties to the conflict on key issues including a political transition and fighting terrorism. Although few will say so in public, there is an increasing, if grudging, acceptance that a compromise may in the end be essential. Assad’s enormous territorial losses may be pushing him to explore diplomatic options to resolve the crisis. But he is unlikely to fully step aside, and if anything, he may be more inclined to cling to power in the hope that an Iran freed of economic sanctions would support him all the more with funds for his battered army. Dubai-based geopolitical analyst Theodore Karasik said the Iran nuclear deal, which was
The U.S. would find it extremely awkward to formally back any plan that would legitimize the Syrian government. Kerry reiterated Washington’s position in Doha, saying that “Assad and the Assad regime long ago lost legitimacy,” even as he again called for a political solution to the crisis. is unlikely to drop its supIarran port for Assad even if its nucledeal presents the prospect of a diplomatic opening with the West. Kerry said in Doha that while he hopes there can be “a turning of the page” with Iran on various regional issues, so far a diplomatic option hasn’t presented itself on Syria. Assad still has a firm grip on core areas key to his survival, even though he has lost perhaps more than half the country to hundreds of rebel groups and Islamic extremists. In a speech last month — his first public address in a year — he acknowledged his troops had lost territory and were running short on manpower, but he vowed to win the war, making clear he would fight to the end. “Despite the military defeats, politically the Syrian regime has become more viable because of the lack of alternative,” said Ayham Kamel, director of Middle East and North Africa with the Eurasia group in London. urthermore, he said the Gulf F states no longer have the same priorities they did at the start of the Syria conflict. The war in Yemen and the IS threat have taken precedence, he said. Simon Henderson, director of the Gulf and energy policy program at The Washington Institute, said the current Saudi leadership is still opposed to any scenario that gives Iran a strategic victory in Syria by leaving Assad or another strongman of his Alawite sect in power. But he said the new leadership in Saudi Arabia since the death of King Abdullah is shaking up old assumptions. Mohammed bin Salman, the powerful deputy crown prince, is “prepared to go outside the fences that were previously erected,” Henderson said.

City teen returns from U.K. trial Dedame has been invited back to England to play more games for Shrewsbury Town in the future ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Early last month, Woodlands Secondary student Alex Dedame flew off to the U.K. for a soccer trial with two professional clubs and a shot at his dream. Now back on home soil, the Harbour City FC midfielder says his game has changed for the better because of the experience and has already been invited to travel back across the pond to play more games at some point in the months ahead. Between July 2 to 7, Dedame was in England and Wales, accompanied by his stepfather, to train with both Shrewsbury
DEDAME
Town and Wrexham FC. While there, Dedame was placed into both game situations and fitness sessions as a selec-
tion of British coaches cast their eye over his technical ability and stamina levels. He did enough to impress, as Shrewsbury have already asked him to return to play more games with the club’s development squad. Right now, Dedame is unsure when that will happen with school starting up again in September, but nevertheless, it’s something he’s keen to do. “It went really well, it’s much different to what I’m used to,” he said, highlighting the step up in physicality and pace of the British game. “They’re much more competi-
tive, stronger — they’re ahead of the game. But it was a really good experience and it got the best out of me.” The Grade 11 student says he will now continue to train with both the Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools Soccer Academy and HCFC in order to improve his game further before he heads back to England. When that time comes, he wants it to be a one-way trip. “What I’ve heard is that I’ll get a scholarship to Shrewsbury and go and play more over there. “The goal is to go back. But what’s next for me is to just train more and get better.”
Dedame admits that stepping out onto the British field of play, where soccer is the national sport, was intimidating at first. But he believes he was able to rise to those standards and raise his game as a result. “When they play much better than you, then that just makes me play better and it brought the best out of me. “I’m going to stay in touch with both clubs and just train and train and get to the next level in the meantime.” Ross.Armour @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4230

VANCOUVER — Jordan Harvey remembers the tough times. Acquired by the Vancouver Whitecaps during their inaugural 2011 campaign in Major League Soccer, the veteran defender was a part of teams that usually had to battle just for a chance at the playoffs. Sometimes the made it, sometimes they didn’t. The route to the post-season doesn’t look like it will be a problem in 2015. The Whitecaps sit atop the Western Conference heading into their home date with Real Salt Lake on Saturday, an unfamiliar position for the club but one Harvey is thoroughly enjoying. “In the past we’d go on lulls or bad points in the season and we’d try to change things up,” said the 31-year-old. “The thing that’s happened this year is when we do lose we stay the course. That’s been a huge thing for us — consistency and staying the course and really believing.” The players might believe, but Vancouver has made few waves despite a 12-8-3 record. The Whitecaps don’t have a superstar or play in a major U.S. market, but remain happy flying under the radar even after last weekend’s stunning 3-0 road win over the Seattle Sounders. “Throughout the years that I’ve been here we’ve always been the underdog,” Harvey said. “You may not see it in the papers, but we know what we have in this locker-room and that’s what’s most important.” Salt Lake (7-8-8) enters the weekend in an unfamiliar position of being on the outside looking in for the playoffs.

part of the team. “It’s a sad day,” Tomsula said during an emotional news conference. “This is a day that doesn’t have anything to do about football.” Smith was arrested Thursday night — on a day off from training camp for players — the fifth legal run-in since the team drafted him in 2011. Tomsula spoke to a couple of players but planned a team meeting Friday afternoon. “Guys care about him, we care about that guy, deeply,” he said. Smith had said when camp began he was healthy and in great shape, “ready to go.”

Bautista, Jays down Yankees in 10 innings HOWIE RUMBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jose Bautista and the Toronto Blue Jays sent the New York Yankees a message: they’re more than just a potent offence. Bautista homered with one out in the 10th inning after two of the top slugging teams in the majors engaged in a tense pitchers’ duel, lifting the surging Blue Jays over the Yankees 2-1 on Friday night, REVERE their sixth straight win. “We won the first game of the series. Everyone knows what our offence is capable of. We’ve got David Price going (Saturday),” Bautista said. “I don’t think they feel good right now, going home.” Bautista connected off Branden Pinder (0-1) to pull the new-look Blue Jays within 3 1-2 games of the AL East-leading Yankees. “The home run is not really what I’m too concerned about,” Bautista said. “Making a statement that’s the most important part.” The first of 13 games remaining between the division rivals started as most expected it would, with a slugfest. Josh Donaldson hit his 30th homer for Toronto in the first inning and Mark Teixeira connected for his 30th an inning later — after a replay reversal — giving the Yankees a homer in 13 straight games.

eclarer put up the king to continue with a low diamond. East won the ten, as partner discarded a spade, and played a third diamond. South ruffed with the heart ace, drew trump and disposed of two spades on the ace and nine of diamonds to emerge with twelve tricks, N-S +980. West should begin with the king of spades instead of a diamond. Declarer takes the ace and will play off the top diamonds expecting to bring home an overtrick when diamonds break 3-2. However, West will ruff the second diamond and cash two spades to reap a two-trick set. The diamond lead would have defeated the contract if West had held the ten of hearts instead of the nine. The play of a third diamond earns West a trump promotion. North eschewed Blackwood for some reason. Partner’s response would have revealed the ace, king and queen of hearts. Would he then have advanced to seven hearts? If South did own an eight-card suit as promised, a grand slam would be a viable proposition. It should not be too difficult to establish a long diamond as a thirteenth winner. Woe unto any foolish North who elected to play in NT. Partner’s hand is dead since there is no entry to the heart suit.

Manchester United to take on Bruges GRAHAM DUNBAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NYON, Switzerland — Manchester United’s route back to the Champions League groups after a one-year absence must go through Bruges in the playoff round. “It will be an interesting tie,� United coach Louis van Gaal said after Friday’s draw. “Bruges are a good side, they reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League and finished second in the Belgian League last season.� In other playoff pairings, twotime finalist Valencia was paired with Monaco, which reached the quarterfinals last season. Lazio will face 2002 runner-up Bayer Leverkusen, and Sporting Lisbon was paired with CSKA Mos-
cow — a repeat of the 2005 UEFA Cup final won by the Russian side in Lisbon. Rapid Vienna, the lowest-ranked team among the non-champions in the draw, is at home first against Shakhtar Donetsk. In a separate draw for national champions, it was: Celtic vs. Malmo, Basel vs. Maccabi Tel-Aviv, and Champions League debutant Astana vs. APOEL. Skenderbeu aims to be the first Albanian club in the groups, and is at home first against Dinamo Zagreb. BATE Borisov hosts Partizan. First-leg matches are played on Aug. 18-19, and return matches on Aug. 25-26. Ten winners advance to the 32-team group-stage draw on Aug. 27 in Monaco.
United returns to Europe’s top club competition after a one-season gap, which was its first since 1995-96. A fourth-place Premier League finish in Van Gaal’s first season in England sent the club into the Champions League qualifying stages for the first time since 2005. Bruges earned a playoff by beating Panathinaikos 4-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round. Coached by former Belgium goalkeeper Michel Preud’homme, Bruges has current and historic form in UEFA competitions. It was a beaten finalist against Liverpool in the 1978 European Cup when only national champions entered. Shakhtar got a favourable draw as it begins a second season of
playing all of its matches away from home at Lviv. Donetsk in eastern Ukraine is unsafe during conflict between government forces and pro-Russian separatists. “We are playing in this stadium for one year, and for our players and our fans it is not normal,� Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin told the Associated Press. “For the morale and psychology of the team it is very hard.� A UEFA ruling prevented Shakhtar from being paired with CSKA Moscow, and the Russian club will travel first to Portugal to face Sporting. The reward for advancing is a $13.1 million prize money bonus from UEFA for being in the group stage, plus two million euros for winning the playoff.

With album due, Chris Hadfield talks about recording in space NICK PATCH THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Even two months away from launch, Chris Hadfield can claim without a trace of immodesty that his upcoming debut album is out of this world. Space Sessions: Songs from a Tin Can will be released Oct. 9, arriving with the honour of being the first album recorded at least partially off planet. The 11-song collection — buoyed by the bonus inclusion of his famous David Bowie cover, “Space Oddity” — is not intended to rocket Hadfield to musical stardom. Instead, it’s another step in the retired astronaut’s multimedia mission to translate the joy of space travel to the earthbound public. “To me, this is a continuation of my best efforts to share the experience, to the best of my ability,” said Hadfield during a telephone interview Thursday, while relaxing at a cottage near Sarnia, Ont. “I am just as delighted with this as I am with any photograph I took or any other verbal description I’ve ever had of that magnificent experience.” A veteran of various bands for roughly 25 years, Hadfield decided before his December 2012 mission to the International Space Station that he would like to try to record music while aboard. He perhaps did not expect that doing so would be, in some ways, an astronomical hassle.
HADFIELD
Gravity, or a lack thereof, was the main culprit. To record an early tune, he stuck an iPad on the wall with Velcro and used its ambient microphone to capture the sound. Eventually, he decided the best place to record was ensconced in his tiny sleep pod, with a microphone plugged into his iPad, floating in front of him. He was thankful to have brought a compact Canadian-made Larrivee Parlor acoustic guitar, because others might not have fit the narrow confines. Playing that guitar was, however, another matter. “It’s hard to play guitar on a spaceship, because there’s nothing to hold the guitar stable,” he pointed out. “Almost always, the guitar slips in your hands. If you’re a guitar player, I tell people to try playing while standing on your head. “The producer who was helping me, Paul Mills, said: ’Your guitar
HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have set plans, but if the activity doesn’t appeal to you, you will lose interest quickly. Make sure you get to choose what your plans look like, and ask others to join you. You will enjoy yourself as a result. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might consider a different way of handling a financial matter that keeps coming up for you. At times, when you are out shopping, you tend to lose all sense of what you have spent or can spend. Tonight: Do what pleases you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be very concerned about getting through a matter involving your home. Understand what is happening around you that might be upsetting you. Let it go, and make the most of your renewed energy. Tonight: Not alone. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be at your wits’ end when
playing is a little messy,”’ he added with a laugh. “I said, yeah, you come up here and play guitar. There’s no gravity to pull the fluid out of your head,” he said. “So you always have a full head and swollen tongue and vocal cords.” Still, Hadfield’s space recordings became the bedrock for the songs comprising Space Sessions. Once back on Earth, Hadfield worked on the songs with Juno-winning producer Robbie Lackritz and a cast of professional musicians. Hadfield brought some of the songs with him from Earth and finished them in orbit, while others were written completely in space. He collaborated extensively with his brother Dave, and co-wrote “Beyond the Terra” with his son, Evan. Of course, his atmosphere provided ample inspiration. Asked about “Feet Up,” meanwhile, Hadfield recalls the rigours of liftoff and his first true instance of weightlessness. After 166 days in space, the sensation didn’t get old. Hadfield calls the feeling a “magic trick that never ends.” He listened to “Feet Up” recently and in some small way it might have brought him back. “It just brings a smile to my face,” he said. “Everything that this music means to me, how it was created and what it means for my life. For me, it was a lovely part of the entire experience.”
trying to deal with a child or loved one. It is possible that you are making a problem worse by ignoring it. Use caution with spending, as you are likely to go overboard. Tonight: Make it intimate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be tired, but your friends will drag you out the door anyway. A loved one also might want you to join him or her. Do not fight the inevitable. Your sense of humour will make the next few days special. Tonight: Out on the town. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll wake up feeling as though today is special. Think of your perfect Saturday, then go off and play it out. You might want to reach out to a favourite person or two to join you. You will be happy you did. Tonight: As you like it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might wonder what to do with a family member. Listen to a suggestion that comes from out of the blue. You are best off playing this situation out and making the most of it. Tonight: Do what you most would like to do.
Don’t criticize son or his wife on the cleanliness of their home
Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My son and daughter-in-law have two beautiful children, ages 6 and 7. Since my retirement, I’ve taken care of the children while the parents work. I also gave them money for the down payment on their home in an area with good schools. Over the past couple of years, I have noticed that they spend money extravagantly and have failed to keep up with the maintenance of their house. Last month, they informed me that they may need to sell the place, because they find it difficult to keep up with expenses, even though I know their income is perfectly adequate to cover all of their household costs. I have a real estate background and explained to them that the market has declined, making the value of the house less than what they owe on it. I became quite impatient and almost angry, suggesting that they seek financial guidance to get back on track. In addition, I am emotionally and physically drained when caring for the children, as they do not keep the house clean and piles of dirty clothing can be found all over. At times, I have done the wash and cleaned the house, simply so I can tolerate
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understand what needs to happen with a child or new friend. Try to imagine what this person would most like to do. Better yet, let him or her choose. Once in a while, it’s a good idea to let others call the shots. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone close to you will want your time and attention. You are likely to be delighted by this request. Though you might not prefer to do what this person suggests, you’ll have a ball if you do. Tonight: Just go along for the ride. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be surprised by how fast a friend loses his or her temper. You might not want to get involved, but ultimately you must stand your ground. Once peace is made, you both will be much happier. Tonight: A romantic dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be more forthright in your dealings with a new friend. In response to spending the day with this person, you’ll become more authentic. Spontaneity needs to be the
being there. I am concerned about my grandchildren in that environment. I have spoken to my son and he says he won’t confront his wife because he wants to choose his battles. My daughter-in-law does not seem to mind living in a dirty, disorganized environment. I feel she is negligent and not providing the proper care for my grandchildren. She only works part-time. Should I bring the kids to my house instead? I am trying to be positive, but it is becoming difficult to maintain a relationship with her. — Need Cleanliness Dear Need: We cannot caution you enough that you are risking your relationship with your son and grandchildren by being so critical of your daughter-in-law. Unwashed clothes and dishes in the sink do not constitute a danger to the children. The fact that her job is part-time does not mean all the responsibility for the house falls on her shoulders. Your son can do laundry, too, and the children are old enough to pick up their clothes. It may not be up to your standards, but that’s not your decision. Here’s our advice: If you can bring the kids to your home, do so. You will be calmer. But do not say anything to your son or daughter-in-law about the cleanliness of their house. Your advice that they seek financial counselling is excellent and we hope they take it, but they are less likely to listen to you if you are impatient, angry and overly critical. Tread lightly.
theme at this moment. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be out of sorts when responding to someone else’s needs. You easily could opt to spend the day at home without too many plans. The role of spontaneity becomes clearer as the day goes on. Tonight: Order in. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8) This year your imagination inspires you to dream up wonderful adventures. You might decide to act on one of these fantasies with a friend or loved one. If you are single, you are likely to meet potential suitors in odd ways. As a result, a special person will enter your life. If you are attached, this could be a memorable year for both of you. You might opt for a major change in your relationship. GEMINI always catches your attention. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Mel Tillis (1932), actor Dustin Hoffman (1937), actor Keith Carradine (1949)

STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Eugenie Bouchard wants to get back to playing tennis like she did when she was winning more than a year ago and hopes a new coach will help her achieve that goal. Bouchard will be working with temporary coach Marko Dragic at the Rogers Cup next week after parting ways with Sam Sumyk, who she had only worked with for the past six months. “I am no longer working with Sam,” Bouchard said at a news conference Friday. “I’ve just come to that decision.” Bouchard made the Wimbledon final in 2014 but has struggled since the Rogers Cup a year ago, when she lost in the first round in Montreal to Shelby Rogers. The Westmount, Que., native has lost 12 of her past 14 WTA matches. “I just feel like I haven’t been quite myself, my confident, aggressive game lately and that’s something that I’ve been working on very hard in practice,” Bouchard said. “I have the belief, and I know my skills are still there and nothing can just vanish. It’s just about working hard to getting back on track.” The next change to do that comes Tuesday, when Bouchard faces Belinda Bencic of Switzerland in the first round of the Rogers Cup on the campus of York University. The winner of that match goes up against fourth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark in the second round. Bouchard will be working with Dragic at the Rogers Cup but said she has “not
made plans for something more permanent right now.” But the 21-year-old knows what she wants in her next fulltime coach. “I’m looking for someone who can help me improve all areas of my game,” she said. “I think it’s very important to be able to address the technical side, the tactical side, the mental side and the physical side. “You need all of that in tennis. Someone who just has the experience of the top level and who can help me improve daily.” Bouchard has fallen to 25th in the world amid her struggles over the past year. Told that, she once said she learns more from losing than winning, she quipped: “I must’ve learned a lot since I lost a lot this year.” Some of that might have to do with an abdominal injury that forced Bouchard to withdraw from the Citi Open in Washington. She said she’s feeling good now. “I’ve been healing well and looking forward to playing this week and getting back to competition,” Bouchard said. Things started to go sideways for Bouchard last August when she lost to Rogers in Montreal. She explained that time as being “very hectic” because of the fanfare surrounding her after going so far at Wimbledon. “Obviously being in the city I grew up in was very crazy,” she said. “It’s just something I had to manage and deal with. I was kind of just having to deal with a lot of things off the court as well as on the court. It was just a learning process.”
