Police ask for public help after pit bull shot in Nanaimo SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

City audits own green bin system SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
N
anaimo’s green bin program, which collects organic kitchen waste, has halved the amount of garbage taken to the landfill each year, a new survey says. But the findings also suggest one in four green bins contains contaminants that do not belong in the waste stream. The city conducted the audit of the green bin system in recent months to get a better understanding of how well the system works. The city picked 50 bins at random and emptied the contents to see what residents had thrown away.

Of the 50 bins, 12 contained items that such as plastic bags, packaging-related objects like bottle caps and break clips, and food contained in packaging, like cheese strings and yogurt tubes. City staff also found objects like foil-lined lids and filter materials. The results of the exercise show city residents do an overall good job of separating garbage from organics, said Charlotte Davis, manager of sanitation, recycling and public works administration for the city. But Davis said there is also room for improvement in the figures, adding she will “be putting more effort into help-
ing residents be clear on exactly which items are and aren’t compostable.” The city claims in the survey that the bins that were emptied and counted are a good indicator of how the entire program is working. A total 26,698 households and 171 businesses receive curbside organic waste pick-up. Organic waste collected through the service is transported to Nanaimo Organic Waste on Maughn Road where it is processed. The survey notes that although the 24 per cent contamination rate seems “alarming,” the overall level of non-organic waste that ends
up in the system is extremely small. Of the 291 grams of material that was analyzed, only 33 grams (or 0.01 per cent) did not belong in the bins. “I was really pleased, actually,” said Davis of the survey findings. It costs the city $122 per tonne to drop the organic waste off for processing. However, that is slightly cheaper than dumping it in the landfill, and also avoids approximately 1,600 equivalent tonnes of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.

Nanaimo RCMP are investigating after a pit bull was shot south of the city. The incident took place on Sunday, somewhere near Roberta Road and Frames Road in the Chase River area. At approximately 12:30 p.m., police received calls from several residents in the area reporting a dog had been shot. One caller reported hearing a gun shot and then a dog yelp. A resident was able to locate and catch the wounded dog. The resident took the dog to an animal care clinic but the office was closed. He then contacted local animal control and the dog was eventually transported to a veterinarian. An X-ray revealed a small bullet or projectile lodged under the animal’s skin. Police conducted interviews with neighbours to try to determine who might be responsible for shooting the dog. However, investigators were unable to glean any information on the identity of the culprit. Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong said it is also unclear exactly where the shooting took place. Police are uncertain if the dog was injured on public road or path or on private property. Armstrong said one resident had reported seeing a pit bull running around the neighbourhood the previous and believed it to be the same animal that was shot. Another resident had reported seeing two pit bulls running loose the day before, Armstrong said. She said she was unaware of any previous complaints of dogs on the loose in the area, and said police generally receive complaints about dog barking, with only a small number of dog bite complaints each year. Reports of people shooting dogs are rarer. “This is the first one to my knowledge (in recent years),” said Armstrong. The pit bull is expected to make a full recovery and has been reunited with its owner. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

Charges follow string of burglaries DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Two adults face charges following a string of mid-Island burglaries and after the Nanaimo RCMP uncovered a cache of goods worth more than $47,000. Electronic goods and industrial items were all recovered in a search in the 600-block of Rosehill Street on Thursday.
Among items recovered were goods reported stolen from homes, cars and businesses from Ladysmith to the Oceanside area. A $5,000 mountain bike, a $12,000 distilling machine, specialized industrial electrical equipment worth $20,000 and numerous laptop computers were seized. Other goods include six pro-
jectors and other electronics believed stolen in Nanaimo, Parksville and Ladysmith. Nanaimo RCMP are still working with investigators from Ladysmith and Oceanside detachments to identify the owners of the recovered property. The volume of goods illustrates why it’s important to mark valuables in case they are stolen. “A lot of times we have all this
PORT OF NANAIMO
recovered property and nobody has reported it stolen,� said Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman Sheryl Armstrong. The few minutes it can take to mark and record an item can mean the difference between charging and releasing a suspect, “and getting your property back,� she said. Some of the laptops seized were traced to a July 25 break-in to
Aspengrove School. On Aug. 7, police got the search warrant. Sarah Le Page, 45, was scheduled to appear in provincial court on Wednesday and Timothy Unrau, 43, has an Aug. 25 court date. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235

New $3.5M Duke Point crane aids Streetscape project port push for container business committee proposed DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
A powerful new $3.5-million crane now standing over the Duke Point industrial site signals another step toward the Nanaimo Port Authority’s goal to become the Island’s leading container freight shipping and receiving port. The used Liehberr mobile harbour crane was bought from its previous owner, in Brazil. It arrived here in July. “It arrived just prior to the (Marine Festival) fireworks,� said David Mailloux, NPA public affairs manager. The ship delivered the machine to the port July 25, and while it is now standing at its new site, it could be year-end before the machine is used to load and unload freight containers. At 35 metres, it has the ability to lift loads of up to 104 tonnes, compared with the existing, gantry crane which lifts up to 40 tonnes. “It’s still being tested and we’re getting everything in place,� Mailloux said. Staff are undergoing training to get the knowledge and experience to safely operate it. The new crane must pass Canadian safety standard certification before it can be put into use. The port sees the crane as an expansion of its capability, since it will allow Nanaimo to better handle containers.
Nanaimo council will vote on the appointment of several local people to helm the Terminal/ Nicol Corridor Streetscape project. City council has already earmarked $50,000 for the first phase of the project, which is intended to propose a redesign of the main section of the highway, which runs straight past the downtown core. The city has also approved more than $63,000 to for a drinking water exemption study for the area, which could provide the basis for significantly loosening up environmental requirements for redevelopment. The list of proposed steering committee members to oversee the Streetscape project includes representatives from local government, the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association and the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. Mayor Bill McKay would represent the city. Darren Moss, who has worked on studies on the corridor on behalf of the DNBIA, will represent that organization. Other proposed appointments to the committee include Sean Herold of the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, NEDC board member Doug Kalcsics and Pamela James and Sydney
The Nanaimo Port Authority recently welcomed the arrival of the Liehberr Crane at Duke Point. The port hopes the crane will attract more container traffic to Nanaimo.
Shipping containers are convenient to move bulk goods, but only through ports equipped with cranes to load and unload them. The Liehberr crane adds about 160 per cent lift capacity, “plus it has more reach and can lift higher,� Mailloux said. It replaces a crane that moves on rails, and with shorter reach. The new crane is mobile, with 32 sets of rubber wheels so it has
the versatility to move anywhere on site. “This gives us even more continuous movement — it can go higher and reach further. It’s more flexible.� The aging crane will be decommissioned once the Liehberr crane is fully operational. Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4235
Robertson of the South End Community Association. Keith Brown, Ian Thompson and Leanna Plug have been proposed as members at large. The Snuneymuxw First Nation also has a seat at the table, although a representative has not yet been named. The committee’s work would focus on overseeing development of the Streetscape plan, intended to guide proposals for redevelopment of the area. The corridor is a main throughway in Nanaimo and is intended to be “an active Streetscape that encourages pedestrian activity and supports retail use on the ground floor of the buildingsâ€? in city plans for the area, according to terms of reference for the committee. However, pedestrian access through the area is poor and the road’s condition is also deteriorating. Another complicating factor is that while the city has an interest in the corridor, it falls under provincial jurisdiction as a highway.

Debate shows campaign will likely heat up
T
here is renewed hope this marathon federal election campaign may become an interesting race after all. A surprisingly spirited and well-fought opening leaders debate last week defied the odds and amply rewarded viewers who hung in through two hours of vigorous give and take on actual issues. If the election outcome in 10 weeks was in doubt before the debate, it remains even more so today. The debate was close enough that all four parties could claim victory, and indeed they did exactly that. No one won and no one lost. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May performed with panache and clearly demonstrated that
If the election outcome in 10 weeks was in doubt before the debate, it remains even more so today. she deserves to be included in all leaders’ debates although she is being excluded from at least the next two. May was almost inspirational as she set out her policies with convincing determination. Her opposition to risky pipelines put the New Democrats on the defensive, a touchy topic, especially in Alberta under its new NDP government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper had the most to lose and he took quite a battering from the other three leaders. He had some
uncomfortable moments as he was boxed into a corner and forced to admit the country is in a recession blaming most of his woes on falling oil prices. But the PM rallied and more than held his own. He took some good punches but stayed on his feet. The three opposition parties largely focused their criticism on Harper, although NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau did exchange some heated barbs about Quebec sovereignty. The NDP and Liberals realize their only hope of victory is to convince voters to coalesce around one of them as the best chance to defeat Harper. Vote splitting between the opposition parties could see the Conservative come up the middle with a
possible minority government win. That spectre resulted in some bruising battles between Trudeau and Mulcair. The NDP leader kept his temper under control and his glares to a minimum. He needed to demonstrate that he was prime minister material and succeeded. The leader who had the most to lose and the most to gain was perhaps the surprise of the evening. Trudeau convincingly debunked a two-year Conservative attack campaign that he’s just not ready. He delivered his lines with conviction and can be almost charismatic when he’s well prepared and avoids those flippant, ill-advised comments which has gotten him in recent trouble.
Many of the quotes from Canadian media following the debate generally expressed surprise at how well the Liberal leader performed. His bravado was critical to Liberal support. Media outlets suggest the Liberals now have a glimmer of hope. If Trudeau uses the debate as a springboard to reinvigorate himself and party, Canadians could be in for an exciting race to the finish. To be sure, one debate does not an election campaign make, but it was a good start and the big winner Thursday night was really the Canadian voter. » We want to hear from you.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Canadians should be aware of new trade deal Despite Conservative hopes for success, latest negotiations for the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal failed. On the day the election was called, ignoring “conventions of restraint” restricting a government during an election campaign from making country-changing decisions, an Order in Council was passed by the Harper government to proceed with negotiations. If finalized, its provisions are to be kept secret for four years. Leaked chapters cover far more than traditional trade. Its 29 chapters of opaque jargon appear to privatize Crown corporations, converting them to profit-making entities (goodbye CBC!), forbid preferential local or national procurement, allows deregulated financial trading in such things as derivatives that caused the 2008 financial crisis and increases the period where drug companies are protected from generic competition raising the prices for consumers. Human rights experts, worried about the ability of corporations to sue governments for measures
protecting the environment, labour standards, agriculture, copyright and privacy that may hurt corporate profits have warned of its chilling effect. Signatories to this treaty will give up sovereignty to pseudo courts of trade lawyers who can overrule national courts. Our reward for approving this Trojan Horse into our democracy is a forecasted burst of trade induced prosperity and jobs. However this is based on economic models criticized by many economists as being based on unrealistic data that make astrology look good.
est of their home and community, shouldn’t it be the people who care little what happens to their neighbour that are called out? In a city that does not encourage or support true public engagement, it is not surprising that people have to find their own ways to be heard. Want to get rid of the whiners and NIMBYers? Give them a genuine voice at the table of decision-making. Public engagement. So much talk before the election on how that would be achieved, and now all is quiet. Disappointing.

Solve NIMBYism by giving people a voice
Councillors need to be vigilant over spending
Re: ‘There has to be a limit to the complaining’ (Our View, Daily News, Aug. 12)
You can see the noose tightening around democracy at city council. Simply watch. Monday, the mayor told many residents and councillors they were out of order. He then wanted to recess the meeting so he could have a talking-to with one councillor.
I would like to suggest that we create a new acronym. INIMBY. “It’s not in my backyard.” Instead of targeting those who are looking out for the best inter-
He ordered me to lower a sign maintaining I have frankly had enough of those I label trough-feeders who want to keep their fingers snatching taxes. Coun. Diane Brennan even had the swagger to lay down the law to the head of Tourism Nanaimo to revisit the private boathouse proposal. To me, the boathouse will really give some special-interest types and friends a place to hang out. Next Monday, the city’s code of conduct will be passed around the table. I urge councillors fighting to watch my money not to sign it. It is simply there to stifle anyone from speaking up and questioning where our money is headed; evidently, out the door very quickly.

The Duncan Fire Hall’s loss is a loss for its entire service area. Sometime between Friday night and Saturday afternoon, the department’s water tender was broken into and items crucial to the volunteer organization’s work were stolen — some of it pried right off the body of the vehicle. The tender’s radio, emergency lighting, lifejackets, siren and controller, as well as a backup camera were among the $10,000 worth of items taken as it was parked behind a locked gate beside the hall, not inside, due to seismic upgrading.

DAILY NEWS
The housing market ended stronger and with prices significantly higher in July than the same month last year. Housing sales cooled slightly in July, which comes as no surprise during the slower, summer vacation period, but sales recorded that month were up 18 per cent in Nanaimo and 60 per cent in Parksville, compared to July 2014. That compares to a 13-per cent sales increase recorded across the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board region, taking in everything north of Malahat Drive. “We haven’t slowed down at all this summer, which is unusual,” said Margo Hoffman, VIREB president-elect. “Normally, July and August are quieter due to consumers’ holiday plans, but not this year.” Higher sales were reported in every major centre in the VIREB region, except Comox and Cowichan. The average selling price in
Nanaimo was $384,700, up two per cent from a year ago. Nanaimo’s benchmark price, considered a more accurate measure of market conditions, since it compare the selling price of similar properties from one year to the next, rose 5.88 per cent from a year ago. Housing inventory levels continue to decline, with active listings down 14 per cent from a year ago. While inventory levels have declined every month since January, the region’s benchmark price for single-family homes is up 4.6 per cent from last year. While experts predict Canada will soon enter a technical recession, B.C.’s economy continues to outperform the country, with its gross domestic product holding at between 2.0 and 2.3 per cent. “Low interest rates and high consumer confidence continue to drive housing sales throughout the province,” said Cameron Muir, BC Real Estate Association chief economist.

A no-swimming advisory remains in place for Canal Beach, but the City of Port Alberni is hopeful this warning could be lifted later this week after recent samples show a drop in bacteria concentrations at the waterfront site. Island Health announced swimming at the beach could be unsafe on July 31 when tests came back to show bacteria levels several times higher than the threshold for healthy water. Concentrations of enterococci
bacteria are normally considered safe if less than 35 particles per 100 millilitres. Samples from Canal Beach’s pier have exceeded this limit since June 5 when the enterococci level was recorded at 100. On July 21, the bacteria was measured at 85, followed by a July 27 sample with 600 enterococci particles per 100 millilitres. Canal Beach is among the mid-Island region’s five public beaches currently under a no-swimming advisory. Hazardously high levels of bacteria were also detected on beaches in Chemainus, Saanich and Duncan.

Trans Mountain faces 145 energy board conditions for pipeline expansion The National Energy Board has issued 145 draft conditions that Kinder Morgan must meet if its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is approved, including increased consultation with First Nations and upgrading its emergency response.

The sweeping requirements were released Wednesday, the same day 35 participants in the board’s review said they were dropping out of a “biased� and “unfair� process. The conditions — which could change after the NEB hearings — would force the company to hold $1.1 billion in liability coverage and detail plans to protect endangered species and reduce emissions.

TestiďŹ es about secret $90K payment BLONDOR
JENNIFER DITCHBURN AND KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Inside the Prime Minister’s Office, they called it the “scenario for repayment� — a plan that would make the Mike Duffy expenses scandal quietly go away, without anyone suggesting the senator had done wrong. Nigel Wright, the marquee witness at Duffy’s fraud, breach of trust and bribery trial on Wednesday, said he didn’t tell former boss Stephen Harper that the deal involved someone else paying Duffy’s contested expenses. But several of Harper’s closest aides were privy to the drawnout, often tense negotiations that went on behind the scenes in 2013. Harper was briefed in general, Wright said. “I told (Harper) that Sen. Duffy was agreeing to repay; I gave him — in very broad terms, not in detail — the media lines,� Wright testified. “I think what I stressed with the prime minister was that we believed and the government would be saying, Sen. Duffy had possibly made a mistake in his claims . . . as opposed to wrongdoing and that he would repay them.� Duffy has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges in connection with his Senate office, living and travel expenses. Wright’s testimony goes to his secret $90,000 repayment of Duffy’s expenses, which has been framed by the Crown as being orchestrated by Duffy. Wright, who flew in from London where he now works, answered Crown attorney Jason Neubauer’s questions with long, detailed answers. He recalled dates and specific phone calls and admitted to feeling anger towards Duffy at different junctures — and ultimately regret. “If it became public, I thought it would be somewhat embarrassing,� he said. “But there were

a whole lot of connotations associated with it that I didn’t really think through. If I had, I might not have done it.� Wright’s highly anticipated testimony was accompanied by 426 pages of internal emails that were filed with the court. From the moment the media began asking about the senator’s residency issues in late 2012, Duffy dug in his heels. The senator filed for expenses on the basis that he was travelling and living away from his “principal� residence in Prince Edward Island, even though he lived most of the time in suburban Ottawa. He told Wright the Senate rules and forms were not clear and repaying the money would put him at risk of being declared not qualified to sit in the upper chamber. While Wright said Duffy might have arguably been legally entitled to the expenses, he felt that common sense dictated that he shouldn’t claim for expenses for somewhere he “hung his hat at night.� A drawn-out set of talks ensued involving Wright, Duffy, PMO lawyer Benjamin Perrin, Duffy’s lawyer and strategists and communications staff. The draft plan, circulated in February 2013, included the point that Duffy be extricated from an internal audit by the firm Deloitte.

Lions defence showing signs of years past
Stilwell takes gold medal Parksville-Qualicum MLA finishes first in 100-metre wheelchair race in Toronto
JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS THE CANADIAN PRESS
SURREY — The B.C. Lions’ defence isn’t used to getting criticized. After years of dominant performances, the Lions’s defensive unit has faltered in 2015. It occupied the CFL’s basement in passing and rushing yards allowed heading into their tilt with the surging Edmonton Eskimos last week. The stats sheet doesn’t read much better now, but one half of football showed that the Lions can still get it done. Down 23-10 at the break, B.C. held Edmonton off the scoreboard over the final 30 minutes in what would turn out to be a 26-23 victory. It was a result that improved the Lions to 3-3 on the season and at least temporarily halted the questions about their inability to stop opponents through the air and on the ground. “We heard about how bad our defence was,” Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian said this week. “Guys know what’s going on. It was a personal challenge. It was a challenge to us to prove the critics wrong.” The Eskimos, who came in having won four straight, managed just 139 yards of offence in the second half against a team that had given up nearly 425 yards per game coming in. Adam Bighill, who leads the CFL with 46 tackles, said a Lions’ defence that has a number of younger players trying to find their footing in the league finally stepped up after weeks of frustration and near misses.
TORONTO — Veteran Canadian Paralympians Michelle Stilwell and Benoit Huot added Parapan Am gold to their already glittering medal collections on Tuesday. Wheelchair racer Stilwell won the 100-metre T52 race while star swimmer Hout led a Canadian sweep in the men’s 400-metre freestyle S10 class. The two are among Canada’s most decorated para-athletes. At the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Stilwell was part of Canada’s gold-medal winning wheelchair basketball team. Eight years later in Beijing, she won gold in both the 100- and 200-metre wheelchair races. She defended her 200 gold medal in London in 2012 but settled for silver in the 100. She’s also a threetime world champion. Huot has nine Paralympic gold medals along with five silver and five bronze. Stilwell, a cabinet minister in Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government, raced to gold in the 100-metre T52 event in 19.58 seconds, edging Americans Kerry Morgan and Cassie Mitchell. Saskatoon’s Becky Richter was fourth. The native of Longueuil, Que., who has a club foot, edged teammates Isaac Bouckley of Oshawa, Ont., and Alexander Elliot of Waterloo, Ont., on Tuesday. The gold could be the first of several medals for Huot, who won six at the 2007 Parapans in Brazil. “I was excited to race,” he said. “The first three days were begin-

ning to feel like a long wait.” Fellow Canadian swimmers Katarina Roxon of Kippens, N.L. (women’s 100 breaststroke SB8) and Aurelie Rivard, St-Jean-surRichelieu, Que., (women’s 400 freestyle S10) also captured gold to continue Canada’s medal haul in the pool. “I could hear the crowd cheering the last 25 metres,” said Roxon. “I just wanted to get to the wall

quicker and do it for Canada.” Jonathan Dieleman, the former rodeo rider who broke his back in a dirt-bike accident, earned a silver medal competing in his first major international competition. He was left frustrated by his time of 55.68 seconds in the S3 50 breaststroke. “I was way faster this morning,” said the Vancouver resident, who swam a Parapan record time of 54.57 seconds during
the morning heats. “About three quarters of the way down the pool I screwed up on one of my strokes and swallowed a bunch of water. I just couldn’t catch up.” Montreal’s Jean-Michelle Lavalliere had some anxious moments in the S7 200 individual medley. He finished second in 2:49.12 but it was announced he was disqualified for a non-simultaneous touch.

Blue Jays beat A’s 10-3 MELISSA COUTO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Chris Colabello knew from the beginning that this Toronto Blue Jays team was a special one. Now he’s just glad to be helping them out regularly. Colabello was 2 for 4 with a home run and four RBIs on Wednesday to help lift the Blue Jays into first place in the American League East with a 10-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. The game — Toronto’s 10th straight win — was Colabello’s 72nd of the season with the big league club after starting the year at triple-A Buffalo. “I remember being so happy that first week of (spring training), even after they sent me down,� Colabello said. “I went in there and told (general manager) Alex (Anthopoulos) and (manager John Gibbons): ’I commend you guys on the group you’ve put together because it’s special.’ “I told them I look forward to being a part of it and I’m thankful to be a part of it.� Colabello, who’s been getting more playing time with slugger Edwin Encarnacion nursing a sore left finger, is on a nine-

game hitting streak and batting .328 with 11 home runs on the year. “The more you’re in there the more comfortable you start getting,� Colabello said of his hot streak. “You start making adjustments and things like that, slowing things down.� Justin Smoak also hit a three-run homer, Josh Donaldson had two hits and drove in a pair and Russell Martin had an RBI for Toronto (63-52), which scored seven runs in the second inning and leaped into a half-game lead over New York in the division with the Yankees’ 2-1 loss to Cleveland. Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (7-10) fought off the wind to fan four batters and scatter three runs, six hits and two walks over six innings. While impressed with the team’s performance over the last two weeks, the 40-year-old downplayed the significance of the their second 10-game winning streak of the year. “I don’t know if I would say I’m amazed,� Dickey said. “You know the potential of the individual guys in here, it’s collectively what’s so fun to be a part of.�

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might experience a certain amount of discomfort when dealing with today’s events. You could be holding back on pursuing a longterm desire involving a loved one. You’ll need to get past what a certain situation is demanding. Give 100 percent. Tonight: Spice up the night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your vision of what you want on the homefront will allow greater give-and-take with a roommate. At first, your desires could be different. However, once you start discussing each of your perspectives, you eventually will find some common ground. Tonight: Happy at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take charge of a situation that seems to be heading in a direction you don’t like. You have the power to handle this matter and turn it around. A discussion in your professional life could become quite emotional. Remember to voice your feelings; they count. Tonight: Hang out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be aware of what needs to happen between you and someone else in order to make peace. Financial matters could prove to be more important than you originally had thought. Be willing to listen to others’ thoughts. Discussion is a must. Tonight: Run errands before heading home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be in a situation where your opinions count more than others’ do. Ask for their feedback. Try to avoid having them feel as if your way is the only way when dealing with you. You might not be happy about a friend’s input. Tonight: Let your feelings flow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You don’t need to worry about taking a back seat right now. However, doing so is likely to benefit you in some way. Keep your eyes and ears open, as you might need to hear and see some other actions that will force a decision later. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your focus seems to be on a friend and your mutual interests with this person. Know that you are not always on the same page. Sometimes you feel that this person is demanding. Observe, and be more accountable for your side of the situation. Tonight: Where the gang is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others will listen more carefully to what you share. You have expressed unusual creativity and an ability to get past previous restrictions. Those around you admire this ability. Move forward on a matter that could affect your career. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone at a distance; you might want this person’s feedback. You will be offering your knowledge and experience because of a decision made today. Don’t

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be pushing yourself very hard at the moment. Though you might feel as though your situation is unchangeable, you must do your best to change it. Reschedule certain plans and make it OK to do less. You will be happier as a result. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot on your plate, yet you remain confident that you can handle it all. You might need to cancel some plans to complete certain responsibilities. Keeping your priorities in mind is important. Allow your imagination to wander, and share your ideas. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I have four siblings. One of my sisters thinks she has a right to invite herself to our homes, join us for dinner and attend other functions, whether we invite her or not. It’s like she thinks we are joined at the hip. For example, “Ginny� will call and ask, “Where are we going for dinner tonight?� I am tempted to reply, “I don’t know where you’re going, but I have my own plans.� However, Ginny is overly sensitive and none of us wants to hurt her feelings. Worse, Ginny is very nosy. She will come to my house (uninvited, of course) and read my mail. She also asks questions about things that are none of her business. But, Annie, Ginny has many good qualities. She has a big heart and a generous spirit and is always willing to help. I have considered buying her an etiquette book that

should cover such things, but my other siblings don’t think this is a good idea. We all love her dearly, but her poor manners are driving us crazy. Any suggestions? — No Name, Please Dear No Name: Ginny may not understand that she is ignoring boundaries and behaving inappropriately, a sign that she may be on the autism spectrum. Or, she may simply be lonely and clingy, and her siblings are her entire social life. You would be doing Ginny a favor by gently explaining these things. Say that you love her to pieces, but occasionally, you have plans that don’t include family members. When she asks an inappropriate question, you are not obligated to respond. Put your mail where she cannot get to it. Suggest that she look into organizations and activities that will interest her and provide a wider circle of friends and a more active social life. She sounds like she needs guidance. Please help her out. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

outh won the king to advance the queen of clubs as West scored the ace to return the jack of diamonds for the ace. South continued with a diamond ruff but the ten did not drop. The ace and king of hearts were followed by a ruff but the queen did not put in an appearance. A heart was discarded from dummy on the kingofclubs. Southtrumpeda club and called for dummy’s remaining diamond. East went in with the ten of spades but declarer overruffed with the ace to continue with the eight of spades. When West contributed the five-spot, he played low from dummy endplaying East. He scored the jack but was compelled to return another spade into dummy’s king-nine. South had recorded an overtrick, N-S +650. Declarer was indeed fortunate to find East with a 4,3,3,3 distribution and was able to overcome the 4-1 trump division. This was a rather unusual sequence since North had offered a splinter in partner’s first bid suit. However, a leap to four clubs could not be natural and there was no chance that this call would be misinterpreted. South signed off in the major suit game since he was minimum and the club king was now essentially worthless.

Geraldine “Gerry� Grace Todd October 11, 1929 – August 3 2015
Gerry passed away peacefully on August 3, 2015 in Kamloops BC in her 85 year. Daughter of Kathleen and Harold Abbott of Kimberley BC. Grace is survived by her loving husband Nelson of 64 years, daughter Sharon (Tom) Connatty of Kamloops, grandchildren Chelsea(Matt) and Jared (Melissa) and her little great granddaughter Chloe. She will be sadly missed by her sister Kathleen Graves and many nieces and nephews. Gerry often expressed that she had “such a good life�. Wherever she lived, Kimberley, Victoria, Nanaimo and Kamloops, she was involved in the music community: as a choral member, choir director, organizer or attending symphonies and concerts. One of the highlights for her was singing in the chorus of Beethoven’s 9th symphony and Handel’s Messiah. Gerry was a vibrant lady who liked to be involved in her community and contributed with volunteering, baking for bazaars, knitting for charities, and was active with Girl Guides and her church. She also enjoyed travelling, camping and the outdoors. She always loved family gatherings especially picnics and Christmas. Gerry will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Respecting her wishes, there will be a private family gathering. Donations in memory of Gerry can be made to Wayside House, 550 Foul Bay Road, Victoria BC V8S 4H1 Condolences may be left at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Making arrangements now: Smart, thoughtful ...and financially sound Knowing that your family will have help in their time of need is certainly one of the major benefits of planning-for your funeral. So, what are the advantages of arranging your funeral ahead of time? And why is it the responsible thing to do? For one thing, you’ll be assured of having exactly the type of funeral you want. And for another, you’ll be able to take advantage of today’s more affordable prices. That’s a significant advantage, considering that funeral costs, like most other things, will increase in the coming years. Even more importantly, if you plan ahead and pay for your funeral now, your loved ones will have less to worry about when the time comes. They’ll be spared the unnecessary stress of having to locate a funeral home and handle all the arrangements - and they won’t have to think about what they should be spending for the funeral they think you’d want. Indeed, since you will have planned and paid virtually the entire cost in advance, your family will be spared finding themselves in the uncomfortable situation of making decisions on things they are unfamiliar with, under the most stressful circumstance. What’s more, they won’t have to dip into their personal savings to pay the out-of-pocket expenses while your estate is being settled. For all these reasons, it’s easy to see why planning for your funeral ahead of-time is both the smart and responsible thing to do. More value for your dollars. More security and peace of mind for your family. And less risk of being unprepared for the unexpected. It’s no wonder that practical people everywhere are making sure that planning in advance is an integral part of their final tribute.
