Men crash home-built helicopter
DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Two men walked away unscathed from the crash of their home-built helicopter near an unnamed lake west of Nanaimo Tuesday. It comes a year after the deaths of two Island men in a home-built aircraft, at Nanaimo Airport, and is at least the fourth incident involving non-factory made aircraft in just over a decade. The unidentified men took off from the Nanaimo Airport Tuesday morning. “At about 10:45 (a.m.) we got a

detection on our satellite system that an emergency beacon had been activated,” said Capt. Todd Guenther, air co-ordinator at the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria. A Canadian Air Force Buffalo aircraft and a Cormorant heli-
copter rescued the pair about 35 kilometres west of Nanaimo, not far from an unnamed lake between Mount Green and Mount De Cosmos. It was described as a home-built helicopter. Home- or kit-built aircraft are regulated. “They do get inspected by Transport Canada before they fly,” said Jim Harris of Nanaimo, a retired chief media relations officer with the Transportation Safety Board. Pilot error can also contribute to a crash. “Just like driving a car, there’s
a multitude of reasons why it might happen,” said Lynda Brown, an examiner for Transport Canada and partner in Nanaimo flying school Vital Aviation. On July 26, 2014, friends Gerald Paul Thom, 50, of Youbou and Michael Cyril Weir, 73, of Saltspring Island died while they were taking their home-built aircraft on flight trials. They got into trouble shortly after takeoff, and crashed almost immediately onto the neighbouring Cottonwood Golf Course. Together, they built the aircraft,
an Avid amphibian, themselves, from a kit. In June 2011, amateur pilot Dr. Bill Phipps was badly injured when he crashed his homemade biplane during an air show. In August 2004, Vincent Valentine Doyle of Duncan was killed when his home-built plane crashed at the Nanaimo airport. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the latest mishap.

Stalled projects leave $11.6M unspent complete, the report says. The list of delayed projects includes the $4.2-million allocated Buttertubs utility road and sewer upgrades project, which has not begun due to asbestos in a cement pipe and lack of space problems. The planned upgrade of the Boundary Avenue and Northfield Road intersection is also on the list. Half the $2.5-million project is being covered by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The city previously delayed
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Almost $11.6 million in funds were left unspent in the first half of the year for city capital projects that were not started or were halted, a new City of Nanaimo report says. The figure represents approximately 21 per cent of the total $53.8 million of spending projects slated for this year. Seventy per cent ($37.5 million) of the projects are in progress, the city report says, while nine per cent ($4.8 million) are either fully or “substantially”
work on the project to make changes to the design, and so far just over $80,000 has been spent. Not all the delayed spending is a result of delays or setbacks. Approximately $1.2 million is available for vehicles that have not yet arrived or been ordered, for example. Senior city accountant Jamie Slater said the figures in the report will change as the year progresses and work begins or wraps up on various projects. Slater said city staff typically will not produce a similar report on capital spending for the first
quarter of the year, because not enough time will have passed for contracts to be awarded and money to be spent. “As far as I know, that’s typical,” she said of the unspent amount. However, the report shows significant funds remain unspent for large projects. One example is the city’s new water treatment facility on Nanaimo Forks Road, alluded to by Coun. Jim Kipp at Monday’s council meeting but not discussed. Only $6.5 million of $13.9 mil-
lion in funding was spent on the project by the end of June. Construction for the project is also running behind schedule. However, city officials have said the project is expected to come in on budget. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

Check out the goats on the roof in Coombs When you’re ready to relax, hop in the car and drive another 15 minutes west to MacMillan Park’s Cathedral Grove. There, you can relax in the cool forest following an interpretive walk through majestic oldgrowth trees hundreds of years old and up to 70 metres tall.

A
drive to Coombs and Cathedral Grove can make for the perfect afternoon. It offers the laid-back funkiness of the community famous for goats on the roof and the awesome natural beauty of giant Douglas firs and cedars like those that once towered over most of the valleys of Vancouver Island. From Nanaimo, drive 20 minutes north on Highway 19 past Lantzville and Nanoose Bay to Parksville, then take Highway 4A about five minutes west to Coombs. Park on the highway, or try for a spot inside the collection of ramshackle cedar-faced storefronts that are Coombs. There, you’ll find a fascinating collection of stores offering a wide variety of unique gifts and goodies, from giant stone Buddhas through tiny trinkets. The Old Country Market in Coombs is the first building you’ll see – and it’s the one with the goats on the roof. It’s also known for its array of international foods, imported gifts, in-store baked goods and ice cream. There’s a restaurant, a deli and fresh produce. Up the hill is Cuckoo’s Trattoria and Pizzeria and Taqueria, the take-out style Mexican cantina.
Some long beaches Tofino and Long Beach hardly need any more publicity; the two destinations are world-renowned for rugged beauty. It’s hard to get a room in Tofino during the summer, and it isn’t hard to understand why: for ocean-lovers, the town is an almost irresistible draw. The town’s global reputation among the world’s surfers brings thousands of visitors in a year. During the summer, it can be hard to find a room in the oceanside town, which also capitalizes on whale watching, fishing charters, resorts and bed and breakfasts. Also nearby is Long Beach, the largest and longest part of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. It ranks as one of, if not the best, surfing spots in the province. » TOMORROW: A look at the beautiful beaches in the Parksville area, as well as information on Myra Falls.

Hotel site should be viewed as an asset
S
o who’s got some ideas? Condos? Garden? Water park? Pave paradise and put up a parking lot? A scale-model multiplex? As we reported this week, Nanaimo city council will look at alternative uses for the starcrossed Gordon Street hotel site, after a project for the site was dropped by Chinese developer SSS Manhao. From an original absurd deal that would have gouged the taxpayers big-time, to the recently fallen through subsequent proposal, things have not gone well for the downtown site. The hotel, of course, was (is?) meant to help prop up the also-struggling Vancouver Island Conference Centre.
Currently, the site sits gathering weeds. On Monday, council unanimously passed a motion from Coun. Bill Bestwick to order a staff report on options and costs for measures the city could take to clean up the site. Council voted on July 20 to buy back the land for $565,000 from SSS Manhao, under an option to purchase agreement. That came after a divided council voted 5-4 not to extend a deadline under the agreement by one year. We’ve mentioned before that, regardless of ownership, the site should have been cleaned up. During the incessant waiting period (the hotel will be up in 2013 . . . no 2015 . . . 2017?), it could have been used for a variety of things.
An open-air market, a free day care service (with a temporary playground) to encourage shoppers downtown, a community garden . . . something. Instead, it is surrounded by a chain-link fence and a tattered banner still hyping the dead-in-the-water project. Just the perfect sight for visitors to the museum downtown or the treasured visitors who actually use the conference centre. One councillor, Gord Fuller, said he would aim to bring back a separate motion to put the property up for sale, something he said should happen “ASAP.” That would be interesting, especially if it were sold to developers who had no interest in building a hotel.
Given that there has also been sporadic talk of repurposing the conference centre itself, that would surely be a gigantic body blow to its future. Are we ready for such a potential quantum shift in philosophy? City manager Ted Swabey said that with the hotel deal defunct, a report on the future of the property would be a “good” report to have. He’s right. But let’s hope it’s not just another waste of time and effort. For now, the property should be viewed as an asset. If a hotel project really is such a great idea, surely there will be developers willing to dive in. If, as critics would suggest, it’s not such a good idea, it’s probably time to cut bait.
Perhaps the city could offer its own self-imposed deadline. If no developer is in place by, say, mid-2016, put the property up for sale, with very specific guidelines. Having more people living downtown is always a key to revitalization. Would a condo project work? Would any plans to sell the property include a parallel plan to repurpose the VICC? After all this time, there’s still so many questions. We’d like some answers. But for now, at least get on with the notion of cleaning up the eyesore. » We want to hear from you.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Space for Trump letter should be better utilized Considering the many local and Canadian issues we can ponder and opine upon in our letters section, do we really need former Nanaimo Mayor (Graeme Roberts), observances of the U.S.A’s political gong show and Donald Trump? I think the Daily News could use the section for more pertinent observances and opinions. Was it a slow letter day? Brad Conners Nanaimo
Core review may be a waste of Nanaimo funds During the last civic election campaign, many prospective councillors strongly favoured a core review. Almost a year has passed and the subject is barely alive. An editorial in the Nanaimo Daily News discussed the core review in Penticton (great success) and one in Prince George (disastrous failure). The 2010 Penticton review was
successful to the point of civic cost reduction of $3 million and no tax increases for three years. Had the review not been done, a tax increase of almost eight per cent was anticipated. The reason was that the review was council-generated and councillors stood against those opposed. Councillors were successful in convincing management and unions to consider the taxpayers and agree to adjust with no massive staff nor service cuts. The failure in Prince George was due to being citizen-generated but council disapproved. Councillors were attacked by management and unions. To avoid danger in subsequent elections councillors fought, split, dove for cover. The result was virtually none of the recommendations were accepted. In view of Nanaimo’s council — who don’t even like each other, management and unions and would vote against a valuable motion if moved by an opponent, a core review would be a costly waste of money. Council only showed unity in the
miniscule and vindictive Empire Days debacle. D. F. Connors Nanaimo
Police should investigate bloated Linley sale price I have tried repeatedly for someone to tell Nanaimo’s taxpaying property owners who got our $9 million for non-essential land at Linley Valley, land that was worth only $3 million. Nothing is done about it. A start would be for the police to investigate and we have access to all pertinent information regarding this matter. Ralph Forshaw Nanaimo
Conservative Party has supported our military Referring to the article about the Green Party and the comments about the Conservatives’ lack of commitment to the military by Trevor Greene left me a bit
astounded. As a Korean veteran, I certainly appreciate his service and sacrifice for our country but he should be well aware of what our military was like before the Conservative government. Canada has committed to most peacekeeping requirements without hesitation. As for Elizabeth May and her great promises of returning the veterans to their original benefits under the act, I should remind her that all parties in parliament accepted the New Veterans Charter along with input from the military at the time it was enacted. Like all politicians who do not have a hope of being the prime minister, she can make all the promises she wants knowing she will never have to keep them. G.D.

Cumberland man charged after beating death of shih tzu
Police still looking into boat crash that left man dead
A brutal attack on a family pet has led to charges of animal cruelty against a Cumberland man, following a BC SPCA investigation. Lee Wood has been charged under the Criminal Code of Canada after allegedly hitting the dog, a black female shih tzu named Treasure, with such force that the dog had to be euthanized because of the severity of her injuries. Treasure, who was owned by Wood’s mother, suffered severe blunt force trauma and sustained fractures and hemorrhaging to the skull and neck in the attack on June 9. “It is heartbreaking to think of the pain and terror this poor dog must have experienced,” said BC SPCA senior animal protection officer Tina Heary. “While her life could not be saved, it is important that we seek justice for her and send a strong message that this type of violence against animals is not acceptable in our society.” Wood’s next court appearance is Sept. 10, in Courtenay. If convicted, he faces a maximum fine of $10,000, a jail term and a potential lifetime ban on owning animals. A shi tzu is a “toy” dog breed that typically grows to about 10 inches in height and less than 15 pounds.
Port Alberni police have not ruled out criminal activity more than a month after a speed boat incident killed a man on Sproat Lake. Michael David Douglas from Langford died on July 11 when the high-powered vehicle left the water and crashed into the surface of the Alberni Valley lake. Port Alberni RCMP are still looking into the mysterious incident, and have asked for members of the public with any information about the tragedy to come forward. “Investigations such as these are lengthy and take a significant amount of time to conduct and review all the materials associated,” said Const. Aaron Aasen. “As a result, this investigation is ongoing and no charges have been recommended at this time.” The boat’s driver, who is identified as Sidney Scott in media reports, was reportedly rescued by witnesses and taken to the shore after the boat collided with the water. He was air-lifted to Victoria General Hospital with serious injuries. The speed boat left the water when its engine stopped, reported the B.C. Coroner’s Service. “The boat’s engine cut out suddenly and the boat appeared to lift in the air before crashing back into the lake,” stated the provincial department.

Drivers will get the message boating and drinking are a bad mix at Zorkin Road boat launch Friday. Nanaimo RCMP officers, volunteers and ICBC representatives will hand out key tags with that message Friday at 9:30 a.m. Those police officers will be on duty, so that means they will also enforce any motor vehicle or criminal code offences they notice, like they would while conducting a road check. Impaired driving remains one of the top three causes of motor vehicle fatalities in B.C., and the laws against impaired driving are equally enforceable on lakes, rivers and oceans. Nanaimo RCMP continue their ongoing road check campaign, and remind drivers to plan ahead before drinking and driving, to avoid arrest and conviction for impaired driving.

FOOD
Warm water conditions plague shellfish industry ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Yves Perreault said he’s “very worried” about the food recall for oysters harvested in B.C. on or before Tuesday (Aug. 18) issued this week by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Perreault is the president of Powell River’s Little Wings Oysters and president of the B.C. Shellfish Growers’ Association. He said the ongoing warm water conditions on B.C.’s coast this summer are causing the widespread growth of a bacterium that can lead to gastrointestinal illness. There has been more than 30 reported cases of the illnesses so far in
B.C. this summer that have been attributed largely to the consumption of raw oysters. Perreault said the warm waters could have serious implications for the industry if it becomes a regular phenomenon due to global warming. “We have fairly deep waters at our location, so we can drop the oyster cages down to 60 feet or more from the 20 feet we regularly put them where there’s less bacteria,” Perreault said. “A lot of the other farms, like those in Baynes Sound, are in shallower waters and don’t have that option. But even placing the oysters in deeper water is much more expensive in labour costs and the need
for better equipment to harvest.” Dr. Helen Gurney-Smith, a scientist at Vancouver Island University’s Centre for Shellfish Research, said B.C.’s waters are approximately three degrees Celsius warmer this summer than last year due to the ongoing El Nino event. “It’s been widely predicted that temperatures will continue to warm around the globe due to climate change, and it’s hard to mitigate against these ocean conditions,” she said.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Canadian Press
The apparent email addresses of hundreds of Canadian federal, provincial and municipal government employees are contained in a massive leaked list of names purported to be users of Ashley Madison, a matchmaking website for cheating spouses. Ashley Madison does not send verification emails, meaning the accounts might not belong to actual users of the site and could simply be the work of disgruntled tricksters. Further, the data goes back to 2004, suggesting some email addresses may no longer be operational. In a statement, Toronto-based Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media, said it was actively monitoring and investigating the leak to determine the validity of any information posted online. It did not immediately respond to a question about why people can register for Ashley Madison with unverified or fake email addresses.

Pipeline spills oil in northern Alberta
Liberal candidate out over old tweets
A pipeline in northwestern Alberta has spilled about 100,000 litres of a mixture of water, oil and gas. Calgary-based NuVista Energy owns the six-inch diameter oil emulsion pipeline, which leaked on the Hay Lake First Nation, about 100 kilometres northwest of High Level, Alta. On Friday afternoon, a helicopter crew doing regular daily inspection and maintenance work saw a “small area of stressed vegetation” along the pipeline route and the line was shut down immediately, NuVista said in a statement Wednesday. NuVista said it was investigating what caused the leak.
A woman who posted offensive tweets as a teenager several years ago has decided to step down as the Liberal candidate in the Calgary-Nose Hill riding in Alberta. Ala Buzreba had earlier apologized for her tweets and blamed youthful ignorance for her social media faux pas.

Mother on trial for killing her three sons A mother accused of killing her three sons was dominated and isolated by her husband, a man nearly twice her age who had been her own mother’s live-in boyfriend before they married, authorities said Wednesday. Investigators believe Brittany Pilkington used each boy’s comfort blanket to suffocate them in their crib or bed because she wanted her husband to pay more attention to herself and their three-year-old daughter, prosecutor William Goslee said.

Stephen Harper political opponents agreed on one thing Wednesday: it is unlikely that the prime minister was in the dark about the controversial Mike Duffy expense payout, given that his right-hand man knew. Harper said he wasn’t going to discuss the latest controversial revelations from the Duffy trial from the previous day that more closely linked Ray Novak, his current chief of staff, to a $90,000 payment to Duffy in 2013. Harper maintained only two people are responsible for wrongdoing — Duffy over his Senate expense claims and former chief of staff Nigel Wright, who

Subway pitchman Jared Fogle agreed Wednesday to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography in a case that destroyed his career at the sandwich-shop chain and could send him to prison for more than a decade. Prosecutors alleged that Fogle knew the pornography had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation, which sought to raise awareness about childhood obesity and arranged for Fogle to visit schools and urge children to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits.
Authorities said Fogle offered to pay adult prostitutes a finder’s fee if they could connect him with minors for sex acts, including some as young as 14 or 15 years old.

Lions go looking for redemption
Raiders take No. 4 national ranking at 3-1
Without star linebacker Solomon Elimimian, B.C. in tough tonight against Montreal MONTE STEWART THE CANADIAN PRESS
SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
SURREY — Alex Hoffman-Ellis has been waiting a long time to get his first CFL start, but he didn’t want the opportunity to come this way. The 26-year-old Hoffman-Ellis will start in place of injured linebacker Solomon Elimimian, the 2014 CFL Most Outstanding Player and Defensive Player of the Year, as the B.C. Lions host the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday. “It’s bittersweet, because Solly is not only a great football player and a great leader, but a great guy,” said Hoffman-Ellis. “The only sweet part out of it is, I get to showcase (myself). Guys play football to get out on the field.” Hoffman-Ellis has platooned at linebacker and played on special teams this season after only getting into one game in his 2014 rookie season. Elimimian is sidelined six to eight weeks and possibly longer after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in a 52-22 loss in Hamilton last Saturday. The Lions (3-4) are looking to redeem themselves after that humiliating setback, while the Als hope to end a three-game losing streak after dropping each game by three points. “We do need to respond with a lot of urgency, and we need to show what we’re capable of doing and just be consistent,” said Lions linebacker Adam Bighill. “If we have another soft game, it starts becoming who are, and that’s not who we want to be and that’s not what we want to
Now at 3-1 on the season, the Vancouver Island Raiders picked up the No. 4 spot in the Canadian Junior Football League’s first rankings for the 2015 season. The Raiders, now just two wins away from their total of five in 2014, came from behind to beat the Kamloops Broncos — a team they have never lost to — on Saturday to keep them in a position for home field advantage in the playoffs and avoid slipping to 2-2. The undefeated Okanagan Sun are the only other B.C. Football Conference team in the rankings, coming in at No. 2 behind the defending national champion Saskatoon Hilltops. “I know we’re only four games into it, but it does have playoff implications,” Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman said of Saturday’s win. “The three teams that are going to be battling it out for home field advantage are going to be Langley, Kamloops and ourselves . . . the three of us are going to be scrapping. Getting that win at home was huge for us.” The Raiders go looking for the season sweep of the Broncos on Saturday when they travel to Kamloops for the back half of a home-and-home series. “We just definitely need to play smart and physical,” said Raiders safety Cole Virtanen, the reigning BCFC defensive player of the week, “keep true to our defence and we’ll be able to do better than we did this week.”

accomplish.So we’ve gotta get on the right track and the right road to where we want to go. “Solly being gone is unfortunate, but it is next man up and (Hoffman-Ellis) is a great player. He’s been learning a lot and he’s ready to play. So I don’t expect there to be too much fall-off at all.” The Lions are looking to get off to a strong start after allowing Hamilton to get out to an early 21-0 lead from which they could not recover. Bighill, who likens his team’s plight to a season-long climb up
a mountain, wants the Lions to show that they can handle adversity. “You can visualize whatever mountain you want,” he said. “But the thing is, every mountain’s going to have an upward battle that you’re going to crawl, run (or) walk up the whole year.” Lions coach Jeff Tedford does not believe the defence has a long climb back to respectability. He noted that Hamilton’s touchdowns included a return off an Andrew Harris fumble and a Bakari Grant punt return. “It wasn’t like they were giving

up 80-yard drives or anything,” said Tedford of his defence. “So it was just a culmination of everything, really.” While the Lions look to avoid giving up another touchdown on special teams, Als returner Stefan Logan will attempt to show that B.C. made a “bad decision” by releasing him in the off-season. Logan, 34, whose two stints with B.C. sandwiched an NFL tenure, has racked up 880 all-purpose yards this season, and his total return yardage (797) already exceeds his 2014 mark.

PHILADELPHIA — With veteran Chase Utley the latest former star headed out of Philadelphia as the team rebuilds, it was a couple of rookies who lifted the Phillies to a victory Wednesday night. Aaron Altherr homered, doubled and drove in three runs and fellow rookie Adam Morgan pitched seven strong innings and Philadelphia beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4. Jeff Francoeur and Andres Blanco also homered for Philadelphia, which snapped a four-game losing streak. “It was awesome” Altherr said. “It was good to be out there and get that first hit out of the way. I hope I can just keep producing up here and helping the team win.” Asked why Utley didn’t play, interim manager Pete Mackanin said, “Under the circumstances I didn’t want anything crazy to happen.” After trading Cole Hamels at the July deadline and Jimmy Rollins last off-season, only Ryan Howard and Carlos Ruiz remain from Philadelphia’s 2008 championship team. Edwin Encarnacion homered for the wild-card leading Blue Jays, who fell two games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. Toronto lost for just the fourth time in its last 20 games. “It’s a logjam right now,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “We’ve got to get back in it. Somebody else could, also. It’s good baseball.” Mark Buehrle (13-6) had his shortest out-
ing of the season, giving up four runs and seven hits in four innings. Since May 29, Buehrle hadn’t allowed more than three earned runs in his last 13 starts while going at least seven innings in 11 of those games. Buehrle, though, felt he pitched well. “I wish I could have a lot of these nights,” he said. “My location was good. I thought my stuff was better than my last four outings. Just bad luck. I had a bad start, but I was making my pitches.” Morgan (4-4) surrendered two runs and five hits while striking out three without a walk in seven innings. “I really didn’t try to do anything special, just stick to my strengths and move the ball in and out, front and back,” Morgan said. “They made some great plays behind me in the outfield, and timely. Overall it was a great team win.” Ken Giles pitched a scoreless ninth for his eighth save in 11 chances. Encarnacion extended his hitting streak to 16 straight games with a homer leading off the fifth. It gave the Blue Jays at least one home run in 11 straight road games while bringing them within 4-1. Cliff Pennington’s RBI double in the inning made it 4-2. The Phillies scored three runs in the fifth off Bo Schultz. Blanco led off with a drive over the wall in right, and Altherr hit a two-run shot to left to put Philadelphia in front 7-2. The Blue Jays got two runs back in the eighth without a hit. They were helped by two walks from Luis Garcia and second baseman Cesar Hernandez’s error. OF FE R

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Gossip or a call in the morning could trigger strong feelings. Reach out to someone in the know for more information, and you will be able to bypass a problem. Nevertheless, someone could decide to be argumentative. Walk away from what is happening. Tonight: Say “yes.� TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be easily irritated by what is happening behind the scenes. A family member might be disruptive, which could affect another relationship. Ask for more of what you need from a loved one. Tonight: Find your friends and make dinner plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) What occurs in the morning will have very little to do with what goes on later in the day. Let go of frustration quickly when dealing with each matter. Take a walk if you feel your temper surfacing. You might need to slow down. Tonight: Be careful with mechanical equipment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) What you hear in the morning won’t be representative of how the day goes. Many people have different approaches to different problems. You are flexible and because of the trait, you have the ability to find solutions. Tonight: Laugh and lighten up the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might have noticed how hot-tempered you have been as of late. Often you are triggered by personal matters. How you express your feelings will be reflective of how your message is received. Do your best to communicate your issues. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep communication flowing so you can get to the bottom of a problem. You might be swallowing some anger and causing yourself a problem. Try to clear up a disagreeable situation by having a discussion. Others will be highly responsive. Tonight: Hang out and make plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can worry a lot about a problem and still not

succeed in getting the matter under control. Only when you decide to use some self-discipline and get control of what is going will you see the situation differently. Look within for answers. Tonight: Pay bills first. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are on top of your game, yet someone cannot resist criticizing and being difficult with you. Normally you would toss this situation out of your life. However, it would be wise to just smile and tap into your inner strength and resourcefulness. Tonight: As you like it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You would be best off not getting involved in any tumultuous situations right now. Someone cares about you a lot, but at the moment, detaching from all interaction might be best. You’ll see the situation from a new perspective as a result. Tonight: Get some R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have the advantage of seeing situations for what they are. A meeting will prove to be worth your

time, as it is likely to clear up many problems. You might see a situation differently from how others see it, but in a way that is worthwhile. Tonight: Where the action is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) There are ways to hide, and you might have that inclination right now, as a boss, parent or someone you need to answer to becomes very demanding. A relationship could be suffering as a result of someone else’s bad mood. Do what you must. Tonight: Vanish ASAP. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are more emotional than you realize. Be aware of someone who might be subtly agitating you and causing you a problem. Try to relax and keep your eye on the big picture. How you handle a personal matter could change. Tonight: Think about making weekend plans. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Aug. 20) This year your passion runs high and sometimes points you in different directions.

ast won the ace to return a heart but South put up the king, drew trump and claimed the slam, N-S +1370. South would have been successfuleveniftheheartace had been offside. He wins the black suit beginning, draws trump and discards a heart from dummy on the third spade winner to emerge with twelve tricks. If trumps had divided 3-1, South would require the heart ace onside to bring home twelve tricks or perhaps an opponent to hold the queen-jack-ten third of clubs. In this scenario, one club ruff would furnish declarer with three heart discards and the slam bonus. South’s leap to four diamonds functioned as Minorwood asking for controls with diamonds as trump. North’s four heart reply promised either the king of diamonds or the ace of hearts. The diamond raise was not inverted but revealed at least four-card support with 6-9 HCP. South could have continued with four spades to ask for the queen of diamonds. North’s reply of five clubs would promise the queen and the king of clubs, causing South to advance to the minor suit slam. 3NT yields eleven tricks but South had greater ambitions when partner offered a diamond raise.
