Mayor drops bid for trip to China
‘We’re being very cautious with our messaging right now, and it needs to be positive with investment’ SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Mayor Bill McKay has dropped his bid to travel to China next month to promote the city to investors — at least for now. The item was slated for discussion at council Monday night, but McKay asked that the item be struck from the agenda near the outset of the meeting. McKay did not offer an explanation during the council meeting, but afterwards said he thought
council needed more explanation on why the trip was necessary. “I wasn’t getting a lot of positive feedback . . .” McKay said. “I just felt it was best to pull it off (the agenda),” McKay said. “I’d rather pull it off then see it go down. We’re being very cautious about our messaging right now, and it needs to be positive with investment.” McKay said he wants to sit down with the rest of council so that elected officials can get
a better explanation of why the trip should go ahead. The trip, estimated to cost $11,000 for travel and food costs, was made public last week. McKay would have been joined by representatives from the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, which he said approached him to make the trip. One of the stated reasons for the trip was to meet with investors behind the proposed Hilton Hotel development on Front
Street, overlooking Maffeo-Sutton Park. However, McKay said in a report last week that meetings were also being arranged with the China Zhongfu Group, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and others. In a report to council, McKay stressed the cultural importance of face-to-face meetings in the Chinese business culture. Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO Kim Smythe said cancelling the trip was a missed
opportunity, adding the mayor’s presence on a business trip would strengthen the city’s bargaining position. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

SPECIAL FEATURE: PART 1 OF 5
Plan out the rest of your summer Island offers plenty of day trips as you explore the wonders available in your own backyard
ic farmers, artisanal cheesemakers, and slow-food chefs. The valley is blessed by a warm climate, ideal growing conditions for grapes and other fruits, and visitors come every year from far and wide to sample its award-winning wineries. The valley’s wineries, most of which are within 30 minutes of each other, produce classic reds, whites and sparkling wines. It’s considered one of the best locales for growing Pinot grapes, and the resulting wines are gaining great respect on the world stage. Fruit wines, blackberry portstyle wines, ciders, vodkas and brandies round out the list of delectable libations unique to the Cowichan region. From farmhouse fare to fastfood Cowichan style, the choices of restaurants and other eating establishments are also endless in the Cowichan Valley. Whether you are in a hurry or in the mood to savour every morsel, the restaurants, bistros, delis, cafes and diners of the Cowichan region offer up endless options. The best of the valley’s food and wine come together annually for the Savour Cowichan event, Vancouver Island’s largest food and wine festival, that will run this year from Sept. 25 to Oct. 4. For more information, check out www.tourismcowichan.com.

Majority of council refuses to last regime’s ‘code of conduct’
Arts council makes move into new digs
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
A majority of city council members refused Monday to sign on to a ‘code of conduct’ passed by the previous council last year. The ‘code of conduct’ loosely refers to a set of documents the city put together with help from outside consultants. They include a Council-Staff Protocol Charter, a Council Charter and declarations for the mayor and councillors. The documents cost approximately $20,000 in consultants’ fees to produce and were intended to reduce friction on council, as well as between elected officials and civil servants, an ongoing issue in 2014. They include language and guidelines promoting “respectful” interactions between officials. However, it recently emerged that only three council members — Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Ian Thorpe and Wendy Pratt — had signed the document upon taking office.
“I won’t sign this document. I’ve found it to be a waste.“ Jim Kipp, councillor
Coun. Diane Brennan said during the meeting that she had not signed her council declaration as an “oversight,” adding they were needed. “Many people have talked to me about it,” she said, referring to what she described as disrespectful conduct towards city staff. Thorpe and Pratt also said they supported signing on. But Coun. Jim Kipp suggested the language in the documents was vague and unnecessary, given his oath of office. Councillors Bill Bestwick and Bill Yoachim made similar comments, adding they would not sign the material. “I don’t expect respect, I hope to earn it,” Kipp said. “I won’t sign
this document,” he later added. “I’ve found it to be a waste.” Coun. Gord Fuller, who did not sit on the previous council, derisively referred to “group hug dialogue” in the material. “I don’t have to like anybody on the council, I have to work with them,” he said, adding he was prepared to do that. Fuller indicated he was concerned language in the in the document could be used to stymie “rigorous debate” by calling it bullying. Coun. Jerry Hong said he has not yet read the document. McKay, who voted against approving the code of conduct when he was a councillor, said he chose to add his signature to respect the will of council. Council authorized $50,000 this year to work with a facilitator to improve poor relations among members and sometimes staff. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

She said, as part of the program, a deal has been struck with the Vancouver Island Conference Centre to begin displaying art this month in the hallway housing the EJ Hughes Gallery. Schmidt said the NAC also has agreements with the Vancouver Island Regional Library to begin displaying art at its Wellington branch in September, and the Port Theatre in October. “This will allow people who might never set foot in a gallery to experience visual art,” she said. “This program will also demonstrate the high standard of our local art and help create an appreciation of our homegrown talent. NAC is always looking for new locations for either pop-up exhibits or ongoing exhibits. “We’d like to thank Nanaimo North Town Centre for hosting us all these years.”
DAILY NEWS
The Nanaimo Arts Council has shut down its longtime gallery in Nanaimo North Town Centre. Executive director Sarah Schmidt said there was an “overwhelming consensus” among members of the council, an umbrella organization dedicated to the promotion of the arts, to move into Nanaimo’s arts district. She said the NAC has established a small office in the basement of McLean’s Specialty Foods, located at 426 Fitzwilliam St., which also has a small gathering area and a place for small exhibits. Schmidt said the NAC is also considering moving some of its operations to the upper floor of the same building, but that has yet to be confirmed. As for the main exhibit areas to display local art, Schmidt said NAC has developed the “Art

Information access needs more attention
W
hen the doorbell rings and local federal election candidates appear at your door, it would be worth asking them about Canada’s access to information system. That’s because the recent record on being able to obtain and review public information held federally has been quite awful. The most recent report to Parliament on the subject by Canada’s information commissioner, Suzanne Legault, asserted our nation’s Access to Information Act structure was a system “in crisis” and in need of modernization. Now, access to information may not capture your attention or that of the wider public as much as the state of Canada’s
“Being able to access public governmental information is a key aspect of democracy.” economy or job creation or how to address the threat to Canadians posed by terrorism. But being able to access public governmental information is a key aspect of democracy. Governing must be transparent and accountable to the public and access to information legislation should be a key tool to help guarantee these things. But that has not been the case in Canada.
In June, it was revealed that some government departments had outstanding requests for information made under the act that dated back to 2009. A recent Federal Court of Appeal decision maintained that a proposed 1,110-day extension to provide requested Department of National Defence documents — for records related to the sale of some military assets — was not just unreasonable but should be regarded as a refusal to obey the law. Complaints over such things as delays in releasing materials, over seemingly unreasonable fees being sought to do so, or over alleged abuse of the exclusion granted to records considered “confidential advice to
cabinet” are all too common. And the information commissioner’s ability to handle these complaints was recently undermined by a 10 per cent budget cut. As a result, we have a federal access system accused of often violating the letter of the law and perpetually violating the spirit of this key legislation within our democracy. Legault has provided some compelling ideas for addressing this issue. For example, her latest report, “Striking the Right Balance for Transparency: Recommendations to modernize the Access to Information Act,” has recommended that Parliament extend the act to cover the Prime Minister’s Office; that the legis-
lation be amended to allow for “frivolous and vexatious” requests to be refused; and that the information officer be able to release information. For candidates aspiring to be members of Parliament, these should be ideas that trigger a host of thoughts. Democratic reform is a talking point within the federal campaign. Insist that addressing our ailing access to information system and related legislation is one at your front door too, if you get the chance.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com More information needed on fire rescue budget
what difference should it make to the taxpayers of Nanaimo?
after being shot with rifle’ (Daily News, Aug. 14)
Council, I await the disclosure of further statistical information about the 2016 fire rescue budget. I am particularly interested in the way in which the capital investment in a new fire station (circa $2.7 million plus equipment) and some $2-plus million a year in additional operating payroll in perpetuity will be covered. Is there an agreement with the companies which ensure Nanaimo’s homes and businesses against destruction by fire that they will reduce the rates charged to home and business owners if the response time is reduced to six minutes or better? Or are we simply reducing insurance company costs at our expense? Certainly no one will dispute the need for fire and rescue protection. But neither will many dispute the fact that there are a great many risks to life, health and property all around us –earthquake, flood, traffic, asteroids– each of which commands our respect, our attention and to some extent or another, our financial support. The trick is to find balance. This is what insurance companies are all about. If it makes no difference to them,

One of the unfortunate, but obvious effects of living in the vicinity of an airport is the noise level. By altering flight paths will reduce the noise for some, but probably increase it for others. Nanaimo Airport in the past year or so has added three daily turbo prop flights to Calgary and come December a daily flight to Edmonton is scheduled to start. No doubt holiday flights to the sun spots are not far behind and they will be twin-engine jet aircraft.The frequency of aircraft activity is going to increase, so residents of Cedar who crave silence, best pack up and move.
The slant on this article – pit bull as victim – does not make much sense to me. The owner’s grandson let the pit bull out of the house, into an unfenced back yard. The pit bull kept going, and the owners lost track of it for days. Why is no one talking about pit bulls being restricted in Nanaimo? Why has no one mentioned the city ordinances on pit bull type dogs — particularly a dog that roamed around Nanaimo unmonitored? This is not just a story of a poor innocent dog getting shot and the owner being unhappy about it. The article claims “the owner says she is still struggling with the pain and suffering inflicted upon her pet.” Someone should point out that they are pretty lucky it didn’t attack someone, or they would be paying a fair bit out themselves.

Anti-violence campaign praised by local club
Re: ‘Pit bull home, recovering
Kudos to the Canadian Football League for stepping up and
supporting the Ending Violence Association of Canada, in their campaign to prevent violence against women. This is a huge step forward in raising awareness and developing a much needed policy about this issue and a major step forward in effecting change! Let’s see if other professional sports teams have the courage and conviction to join this important cause. Men are an essential part of reaching boys and other men with the message to end all forms of violence against women. The Zonta Club of Nanaimo which is part of an International Organization whose mission is to improve the lives of women through service and advocacy, applauds the editor of this newspaper for dedicating the editorial Aug. 11 to raising awareness about this important issue.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Group indicates region’s economy continues on impressive upswing Almost all sectors showing growth, says economic development corporation ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The region’s economy continues on an upswing, according to the latest economic update from the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. In the corporation’s second quarterly economic update for 2015, which provides economic statistics for the period of April to June of this year, almost all sectors in the region are showing growth. The report’s main intent is to provide Nanaimo’s business community with the most accurate and current economic information available to help them with their business decisions. According to the report,
Nanaimo’s unemployment rate has dropped from more than seven per cent last year to 4.2 per cent currently, the average resale price of a single family home increased by seven per cent in June compared to June, 2014, and new housing construction is projected to increase by 7.7 per cent in 2016 over levels this year. In the second quarter of 2015, 189 new businesses obtained business licences, an 11-per-cent increase from the same quarter in 2014. In tourism, a marked increase has been recorded in occupancy rates, daily room rates and overall revenue per available room in the last quarter, and traffic through the Nanaimo Air-
port has seen an increase of 17 per cent between the second quarter of 2014 and the same period of 2015. BC Ferries is also reporting increases in both passenger and vehicle volumes on the two major Nanaimo routes. Sasha Angus, CEO of NEDC, said there are a number of factors in play that are resulting in an improved economic performance for the Nanaimo area. They include the low value of the Canadian dollar, which is helping the region’s exporters increase their profit margins, and low mortgage rates that makes borrowing easier for businesses at cheaper rates,” he said “We’re projecting that these
trends will continue for at least the next couple of years. We’re not expecting exponential growth in most of our sectors, but a slow and steady growth like we’ve been seeing in recent years and mirrors trends across the province.” The full report can be viewed at www.InvestNanaimo.com.

Captured cubs doing well DAILY NEWS
Two bear cubs whose live capture led to the suspension of a Port Hardy conservation officer are doing well at a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Errington. Jordan and Athena were trapped and sent to North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in early July, despite a senior officer’s order to destroy them. Their mother was shot for stealing fish from a freezer. At issue was whether the cubs had become “habituated” to lose their fear of humans, like their mother. “The bears are fairly safe at this point,” said Robin Campbell, NIWRC manager. He said their re-release into the wild should go smoothly, once they’ve reached adulthood. “We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing and probably next summer or next fall they’ll be released, depending on the environment — food supply in the wild.”

Sewage means park still closed Morningside Park will likely be closed for up to six more weeks as work continues on the treated sewage outflow pipe that runs through it. Workers from the Regional District of Nanaimo repaired the latest leak in the pipe earlier this month in the small seaside park, located off of Hammond Bay Road. But work to ensure that no more leaks occur along the 45-year-old outflow pipe, which has had four leaks in the past two years, is ongoing. Sean De Pol is the manager of wastewater services for the RDN, which operates the nearby Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre from which the outflow pipe originates. He said survey work continues at the site as workers determine the best way to secure the pipe system to last another approximately 12 months until scheduled work that is already designed to replace the outflow pipe begins. The pipe is scheduled to be replaced in 2016 as part of Phase 2 of the pollution control centre’s $18-million pipe replacement project. De Pol said one option that is under review is to place a temporary bypass pipe upstream around the existing pipe. He said workers are trying to decide how much of the pipe will have to be temporarily replaced and it will take more work to make that determination. “We still have heavy equipment and people working in the park and we expect that the park may not reopen again until the fall,” he said.

Bill Pomponio, a logging equipment operator and avid ocean angler, says: “I have been trying for months to find someone prepared to get this sunken barge out of the inlet. The only folks who seem to give a damn are the Ehattesaht First Nations residents at Zeballos and the village Mayor Donn Cox and his council.” Pomponio has photographed the wreckage of the 30-man camp and spotted deadhead debris. A 30-centimetre-wide beam just below the surface of the inlet, almost sank his fishing boat. “This beached wreck is slowly destroying the environmental integrity and beauty of the inlet. And, it has to be having a seriously negative impact on fishing tourism. I have called officials at the Ministry of Forests and I have sent pictures and a memo to my local MLA, Don McRae {Comox Valley}, but nothing seems to work.”

Crews beating back pair of Oliver fires Rock Creek blaze near Osoyoos remains uncontained THE CANADIAN PRESS
KELOWNA — Crews are making good progress on a pair of wildfires burning in the south Okanagan near Oliver, south of Penticton. The BC Wildfire Service says the Testalinden fire, burning seven kilometres south of Oliver, is now 40 per cent contained and has not destroyed any homes. It has charred 16 square kilo-
metres of bush, and about 80 crew members, four pieces of heavy equipment and seven helicopters are working to build guards around the remaining flanks. The three-square-kilometre Wilson Mountain wildfire just north of Osoyoos is estimated to be 70 per cent contained, and evacuation orders issued for nearby homes have been downgraded to evacuation alerts.

The 37-square-kilometre Rock Creek blaze remains uncontained and there is no end in sight for the evacuation orders that have forced hundreds of people from their homes, east of Osoyoos, near the U.S. border. Officials confirm that blaze, which is suspected to have been caused by humans, has destroyed 30 homes but no one has been hurt.
CALGARY — The son of a former British Columbia member of the legislature has been charged in a fentanyl bust in Calgary last month. Kasimir Tyabji-Sandana, who is 27, is charged with one count of importing a controlled substance. He made a brief appearance via closed circuit television in Calgary court on Monday. He will remain in custody until his next court appearance on Sept. 16. His lawyer is working on setting a date for a bail hearing. Police intercepted a package marked as a muffler from China last month at Vancouver’s International Mail Centre. It was addressed to someone in Calgary and contained 122 grams of pure fentanyl, a synthetic opioid used primarily to treat severe pain. Fentanyl is a growing concern across Canada as the number of deaths and overdoses from the drug continues to climb. A recent report from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse said as many as 655 Canadians may have died between 2009 and 2014 from fentanyl overdoses. Health Canada’s drug analysis labs have also been detecting fentanyl more and more often in street drugs being sent for testing by law enforcement agencies. Calgary police say 145 people in Alberta have already died from suspected fentanyl overdoses this year compared with 120 last year. Arrests are also up. Police in Calgary have made 34 fentanyl busts this year compared with 12 in all of 2014.

DUFFY TRIAL
NEWS IN BRIEF News Services
Testimony focused on the definition of a lie Wright asked why he told prime minister senator would pay would repay the expenses. Why did you lie to the prime minister? Bayne asked Wright. “I don’t feel it was a lie, I felt it wasn’t on the list of things I needed to check with him,” Wright responded. Bayne pressed on. “Duffy was not going to repay. Did you not think there was a difference between Duffy repaying and a secret repayment by Sen. Gerstein and others to have the 1/8Conservative 3/8 fund repay?” “I honestly didn’t think it was that significant a difference,” Wright replied. “The significant fact was that the expenses were going to reimbursed and he wouldn’t be claiming them anymore.” The veracity of Harper’s public statements on the Duffy repayment, as well as those of his spokespeople and cabinet ministers, continue to dog the Conservative leader on the campaign trail.
JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The definition of “lie” was tossed around during Sen. Mike Duffy’s trial on Monday, all part of a scandal where words are carefully chosen and their meanings parsed. Nigel Wright, the prime minister’s former chief of staff, was asked to explain to the court what he told his boss about a plan to have Duffy repay his Senate living expenses in 2013. Duffy has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery in connection with his Senate claims. The “scenario” co-ordinated between senior aides in Stephen Harper’s office and Duffy included having the senator publicly admit he made a mistake with his expenses and promise to repay them. Trouble is, Duffy was never going to repay the money him-

self and several people around Harper knew it. Initially, in February 2013, the idea was to have the party cover the bill, as well as Duffy’s legal expenses. Wright says Sen. Irving Gerstein, head of the party’s financial arm, specifically requested that the money part be kept secret. Wright has said he told Harper shortly afterward that Duffy
◆ NEW YORK
eum analyst Dan McTeague says wholesale prices in the U.S. dipped the equivalent of six cents a litre on Friday and were down another three to four cents in midday trading Monday. McTeague said the drop in wholesale prices would likely be passed on to consumers in the coming days after some refineries resumed operations or deferred maintenance plans after a major outage at BP’s Whiting refinery caused prices to jump. The BP refinery is a significant source of gasoline for the U.S. Midwest and Western Canada, but it lost 240,000 barrels of its production capacity of 413,000 barrels a day on Aug. 8 after a malfunction. BP said in a statement that repair work is continuing but would not say how long it expects the work to take. The Whiting shutdown also increased the discount on Canadian heavy crude prices because the refinery is a major processor of the product. But Canada’s heavy crude producers received some relief last Thursday after Enbridge’s 600,000 barrel a day Flanagan South pipeline restarted shipping Canadian crude after a minor leak caused a shutdown earlier in the week.
Boyfriend arrested for Freeman family stabbing The boyfriend of Morgan Freeman’s granddaughter has been arrested in her fatal stabbing on a New York City street. Thirty-year-old Lamar Davenport was arrested on a murder charge Monday, a day after 33-yearold actress Edena (eh-DEE’-nah) Hines was found with stab wounds to her chest in front of her Upper Manhattan apartment building. No working telephone number for Davenport could be found. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had a lawyer. Police say Davenport was in a relationship with Hines. Freeman issued a statement saying, “The world will never know her artistry and talent, and how much she had to offer.”

Virtanen sparks Raiders to 35-26 win over Broncos
Canadian teenager basks in glory of first win
Rookie safety’s 95-yard interception for a touchdown helps lift V.I to 3-1 in 2015 SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
C
ole Virtanen is used to making an impact on Nanaimo football fields. With his decorated high school career with the John Barsby Bulldogs now over, he truly made his presence felt with the Vancouver Island Raiders Saturday with two interceptions, including one for a touchdown, in his team’s 35-26 come-frombehind win over the Kamloops Broncos at Caledonia Park. Virtanen, who dropped a sure interception earlier in the game, made no mistake on his next opportunity when it came to him deep in V.I. territory late in the third quarter. “We were just keeping true to our defence the entire game and waiting for a good shot,” said Virtanen, a rookie with the Raiders. “When I had an opportunity I definitely took it and did the best I could with it.” His team was down 20-14 at that point, but Virtanen brought the interception 95 yards into the Kamloops endzone to give his team a lead they would never give up. “It was back to football in the backyard,” said Virtanen of his attitude after picking off the Kamloops pass. “It was just instincts, and I just went with it. It took me a while to get my first pick, so to take the first one to the house is a pretty good feeling.” The interception was Virtanen’s first of his young junior football career, and it sparked the offence. Shortly after, former Ballenas Whalers high school teammates Liam O’Brien and Dustin Rodriguez hooked up for a 70-yard touchdown pass to pad the lead. The Broncos, though, pulled within two points of that lead with a Derek Yachison touchdown late in the game and could have tied it up with a two-point conversion, but that attempt was

broken up by Raiders defensive back Josh Paisley to put the game out of reach for Kamloops. O’Brien then hit reciever Arthur Fabbro for another deep touchdown pass with 39 seconds left in the game, which was the second time the two connected for a major score on Saturday. “That’s part of his swagger,” Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman said of O’Brien’s willingness to throw deep passes despite limited success early in the game. “That’s what I was happy to see. That was my halftime talk, to stop playing like we’re scared. It almost seemed like we were tentative there in the first half. “We weren’t playing Raider football, and I challenged them, and I tell you what, they accepted the challenge.” The Raiders only scored one touchdown in the first half — they failed to even get a first down in the second quarter — but a blocked punt from linebacker Nigel Henry led to Tyler Hill bringing the ball within the
Kamloops five-yard line before runningback Nate Berg punched it into the endzone. Other than that score, however, the Raiders struggled mightily on offence before breaking out in the fourth quarter. “We grinded it out,” said O’Brien, last year’s All-Canadian quarterback. “We didn’t play our best football, but in the second half we started playing like we should.” O’Brien later said Virtanen’s pick-six sparked the team, and his head coach agreed. “It was a great play,” Erdman said. “And I’ll tell you the truth; we got on him a bit after the last game. He’ll be the first to admit — and that’s the type of player he is and the type of person he is — he did not play very well last game (a 27-3 loss to the undefeated Okanagan Sun). “But we still believe in him. He’s part of the family so we stuck with him, and I think today he showed what Cole Virtanen can do because he stepped up.
That was a huge, huge play.” Virtanen also picked off another Broncos pass with no time left on the clock in the endzone. He also finished the game with five tackles, the second most on the team behind middle linebacker Dexter Shea, who had seven. Defensive end Quniton Bowles also had two sacks. O’Brien, who said after the game he felt more comfortable in the offence now that he’s recovered from injury, went nine of 17 through the air for 217 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, his first of the year. Berg had 89 rushing yards in the win, while Rodriguez led the Raiders in recieving yards with 131. The Raiders moved to 3-1 with the win while the Broncos moved to 2-2. Both teams meet again this Saturday in Kamloops. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Canada hopes to keep rolling into Olympics CURTIS WITHERS THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The Canadian women’s basketball team peaked at the perfect time this summer, using a gold-medal run at the Pan American Games in Toronto as a springboard for a dominant performance at the FIBA Americas women’s championship in Edmonton. Now, with a berth at the 2016 Summer Olympics locked up well in advance, the trick is figuring out how to do it again
next summer. Canada won’t have the benefit of playing in back-toback tournaments on home soil so it will take careful planning to ensure the team is playing its best basketball heading into the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. But unlike the 2012 Games in London, Canada has the luxury of time as it prepares for a podium run in Rio. “Leading up to the Olympics we’ll be able to get some more games in direct preparation, so hopefully we’ll be able to get
some games on home soil again before we head to Brazil,” head coach Lisa Thomaidis said on a conference call Monday. “It’s just a huge advantage to know this far out.” Canada qualified for Rio on Sunday with an 82-66 win over Cuba in the final of the FIBA Americas tournament. That gives the Canadians an advantage they didn’t have in 2012, when they needed to play in a late qualification tournament to nab one of the last spots
Cu
i
at in London. “The biggest thing is we can prepare for exactly when we need to peak,” Thomaidis said. “The last time we had maybe two weeks to prepare and turn around and get to the Olympics.” Qualification for Rio capped a successful summer for the Canadians that saw the emergence of guard Kia Nurse as a budding superstar. The 19-year-old Hamilton native had 20 points in Sunday’s win over Cuba and was named MVP at FIBA Americas.
Brooke Henderson’s first LPGA Tour win didn’t stop her from having to play golf on Mondays. Henderson completed an eight-stroke victory Sunday at the US$1.3-million Cambia Portland Classic to become the first Canadian to win an LPGA event since Charlottetown’s Lorie Kane in 2001 and the Tour’s third-youngest champion ever at 17 years 11 months six days. She catapulted to No. 17 in the world rankings, boosted her earnings over $660,000 and secured her 2016 card, but because she’s exhausted all six of her sponsor’s exemptions she’ll have to continue playing Monday qualifiers to gain entry into tournaments for the remainder of this season. Last year, Henderson petitioned the LPGA to allow her into Q-school but was turned down because she didn’t meet the minimum age requirement of 18. However other players —including second-ranked Lydia Ko and major champion Lexi Thompson — successfully petitioned to become Tour members before their 18th birthdays. On Monday, Henderson said she continues to weigh her options regarding whether to again petition the LPGA Tour for an exemption. “We’re still thinking about it and evaluating the situation options with my family and team,” the native of Smiths Falls, Ont., said during a conference call. “Hopefully we’ll come to a decision pretty soon. “There’s many pros and cons to both options . . . I’m just kind of working through those right now with my team. We’ll see what happens.” Henderson earned $195,000 with the win and has made $661,818 in 10 events. By not being a full-time Tour member, Henderson must rely on sponsor’s exemptions or Monday qualifying to participate in LPGA tournaments. Henderson doesn’t have the luxury of time to relish her historic win. Her next tournament is the $2.25-million Canadian Pacific Women’s Open, which begins Thursday in Coquitlam, B.C., where the spotlight will be firmly fixed upon her. She doesn’t expect to feel any extra pressure competing on home soil. “I don’t think so,” she said. “It’s fun to be back home and I know all the people I’ve talked to earlier (Monday) have been very excited and (are) cheering me on this week. I just have to make sure I stick to my own gameplan and do my own thing to make sure I play well this weekend.”

NHLers getting Jays’ fever STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
Logan Couture was just a preschooler when the Toronto Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and ’93. Wearing his team logo pyjamas, the San Jose Sharks forward fought to stay awake to watch the games. Matt Moulson of the Buffalo Sabres has home-plate dirt from the 1993 victory. His father took him downtown from their Mississauga home to celebrate each of those championships. Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals hasn’t been alive to see the Blue Jays even make the playoffs. He’s ready. Just like fans across Canada, NHL players are getting caught up in Blue Jays fever. Couture watches every game, even when in San Jose, because after so many games without much of a payoff, he doesn’t want to miss anything now. “Even before some of our games I’m following,” Couture said. “I’m a pretty die-hard fan, so to finally see them putting a streak like this together and to give themselves a chance to make the post-season has been pretty incredible as a fan.” Along with Couture, you can count Sharks teammate Joel Ward, Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and Teddy Purcell of the Edmonton Oilers among the hockey players who are also

Blue Jays fans. The past few weeks have been something special, since the Blue Jays acquired shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and ace pitcher David Price at the end of July and won 15 of 18 games. Couture left his phone at home on July 30 to play golf and returned to 27 text messages about Toronto getting Price. “I definitely did not see that coming,” Couture said. Wilson, 21, got to his third game of the season a few days later using tickets from relief pitcher and Capitals fan Brett Cecil and sat in the row behind Price’s parents for the lefty’s debut. “He obviously really earned the hometown respect right out of the gate,” said Wilson, who lives a short walk from Rogers Centre. “He had bases loaded, zero out and he dialed in and got out of that jam. He’s been nothing but great so far. I think everyone’s just really excited to have something to cheer about and have the Jays doing so well.” Moulson watched every game growing up and catches what he can now while living with his wife and children in Connecticut. With the Blue Jays chasing down the rival New York Yankees for the American League East Division title, the 31-year-old Moulson hopes a playoff run makes a difference for his family.

Lockett, Clark stand out for Seahawks in debuts TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. — For as good a wide receiver as Tyler Lockett was in college, and all the compliments he’s received from his new teammates as a pass catcher in training camp, he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks because they needed a dynamic returner in the kicking game. For all the off-field concerns about Frank Clark, the Seahawks remained steadfast he could bring a unique skill to the top defence in the NFL. It may just be one preseason game, but the performances of Clark and Lockett in the Seahawks’ exhibition opener did their best to overshadow the problems that popped up for Seattle. “That’s a beautiful first message they sent us that they’re ready to do something to help this football team,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Lockett had a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, while Clark had nine tackles, one quarterback hit and one forced fumble, and played a variety of positions on the defensive line in Seattle’s preseason opener. They stood out in a way that was the opposite of what happened with Seattle’s offensive line, which struggled in pass protection and in establishing holes in the run game. The worries about Seattle’s offensive line are legit, to the point the shuffling continued Monday. The Seahawks moved right tackle Justin Britt to left guard — the most problematic position so far — and inserted backup tackle Garry Gilliam in Britt’s former spot. The move may or may not become permanent, but is an attempt by offensive line coach Tom Cable to get his best five linemen on the field together. “When you get down to nine guys or eight guys sometimes during the season, guys have to be flexible,” Carroll said. “So we’re going to take this time. We

can’t wait too much longer to do this, so we need to do it now.” Fortunately, what Clark and Lockett did muted some of those concerns. Clark’s ability to play multiple spots on the defensive line was one of the reasons Seattle selected him in the second round, despite off-field issues that included an arrest on a domestic violence charge last November. Ultimately, Seattle sees Clark as a defensive end in the same versatile mould as Michael Bennett, with the ability to be an interior rusher in passing situations but also play on the edge against the run. The Seahawks even believe Clark has the speed to be an outside linebacker if needed. Carroll highlighted that versatility on Monday, while also pointing out the areas where he struggled. “He had a little bit of trouble inside in the running game when playing three technique, but other than that he was very effective so a really good start for him,” Carroll said. Lockett has drawn raves in
training camp for his skill as a wide receiver, in part because the Seahawks had yet to see his return skills in person, even though that was the impetus for Seattle trading up to grab the Kansas State star in the third round. Lockett had a 46-yard kickoff return the second time he touched the ball before breaking his 103-yarder early in the second quarter. Seattle’s longest kick return during the 2014 regular season was 47 yards. The goal for Lockett this week against Kansas City is showing up on more than just special teams. “I think one of the things even going into the games was the players telling us to just rely on your instincts. Don’t think too much,” Lockett said. “Because when you think is when you make mistakes and stuff like that. So I really just try to go out there and play off of instincts. The coaches know we’re going to make mistakes and stuff like that and it’s all about correcting and not making the same mistake again.”

let this bond slide and just assume it will be OK. Your assumption is faulty and needs to be revised. You will see that this person is waiting for you to make contact. Tonight: Make a couple of calls before you make plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Curb your anger or frustration. You are more powerful and connected than you realize. Assume a more relaxed temperament. Express your thoughts clearly, especially with a child. Caring evolves between you and a loved one. Tonight: Be content. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could feel as if you have a lot to do, and it is important to do it quickly. A call is likely to encourage a deviation from plans. Someone who cares about you will reach out to you. You might want to take some time with a special person. Tonight: Let the party go on. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might need to confide in a close friend who will keep your words and secrets to him- or herself. Find a way of letting this person know how much you care about and appreciate him or her. Nothing can replace this type of loyalty. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are a people person, and nothing that occurs today will prove otherwise. You have a lot of pressure on you to deal with a matter involving your domestic life. Be willing to say “no� to a request. A friendship plays a significant role in your life. Tonight: Let go of stress. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You

might want to consider an option that could prevent a conflict with an older relative or an authority figure. You will need to step back from a hassle at the moment. Remember that it is more important to win the war than it is to win the battle. Tonight: A must appearance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others might wonder why you have little to say right now. You have a way about you that makes a child or loved one think before he or she leaps. You understand that sometimes the less said the better. Be open to a conversation. Tonight: Start planning the weekend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to listen carefully to a partner’s emotional and financial needs. This person seems to have a very different point of view from you. Neither of you are right or wrong; you both simply have a unique way of approaching matters. Tonight: Chat over dinner. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18) This year you discover that you are full of energy -much more than usual. It will be imperative that you have a good outlet for all this vitality. If not, you will find that you easily could get into all sorts of conflicts. Make sure to get plenty of exercise. If you are single, you could meet someone who brings to light how possessive you can be. Try to understand what is making you feel insecure. If you are attached, the two of you often get into conflicts that you believe are important but really aren’t.

speechless. Your thoughts? – Bride’s Mother
Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My daughter has been engaged for several months. Her invitations for the small, family-only wedding were handwritten and mailed six weeks before the event. The wedding is in two weeks. Yesterday, my sister-in-law announced that she is giving my brother a surprise party on my daughter’s wedding day, three hours after the ceremony begins. It’s two weeks before his actual birthday. And it’s not as though she planned it because we’d have a ton of relatives in town for the wedding. There are only two family members who don’t live nearby, and they are only a couple of hours away. She could have scheduled this birthday party at any time. This is the tackiest thing I’ve ever heard of. I don’t even know how to pretend it’s OK. I am just
Dear Susan: We completely agree that your sister-in-law has done something both tacky and with underlying hostility. You don’t have to pretend this is OK. It is not.Would your husband speak to his sister-in-law about the party and ask that it be rescheduled? Is there any other person who can intercede and convince your sister-in-law that this reflects poorly on her? You also can tell her how unhappy and shocked you are by her decision to plan this party in a way that deliberately takes attention away from your daughter’s big day. Especially when she didn’t check with you first. If she refuses to change her plans, we recommend you ignore what you can, and accept that your sister-in-law lacks class. Do your best to minimize your disappointment and any damage to your daughter and her groom. Put on a good face and make the best of the day. Please don’t let anyone ruin it. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dummy’s ten held when East declined to cover. Declarer continued with ace and another diamond for the king as West switched to a club for the ace. The jack of spades was successfully passed and followed by a diamond ruff with the nine of hearts. West overruffed with the ten and exitedwithaclubfortheking. Southcashedtheaceofspades pitching a diamond from the table and ruffed the queen of spades. An advance of a heart fetched the queen, king and ace but ten tricks were in the bank, N-S +170. Hearts were 4-1 but the queen was singleton onside in addition to the spade king, resulting in two overtricks. If West declines to overruff a diamond, South could actually bring home eleven tricks with careful timing. He could reach a two-card ending with dummy holding the jack- eight of hearts over West’s ten-five. 1NT would also fare well on this layout. West has a rather unappealing choice for an opening lead. Would he choose a heart or a club? A heart would be beneficial to declarer who would easily record ten tricks. A club would force declarer to win in hand and begin hearts by leading the king. The fall of the singleton queen from East would culminate in another ten tricks with the spade king in the slot.
